people? you heard don, amy, say he hopes the president can move forward on any number of issues, but he has said he s not going to work with the democrats. right. well, and he s very frustrated, just like the american public is frustrated with all of these ongoing and never ending bottomless pit of investigations. i think most people would like to finally see an outcome on things like infrastructure, like health care, but because you ve got somebody like speaker pelosi, who s lobbing bombs, verbal bombs in the lap of the person she s supposed to be negotiating with minutes before the meeting, i don t think that was very wise on her part. okay, okay, don. i hear a big sigh. go right ahead. this entire week was misrepresented in terms of what happened in washington, d.c. it should be noted that the house democratic caucus under speaker pelosi s leadership has passed 200 bills. not all of them progressive, most of them pragmatic. on voting rights protections,
the shiite government has excluded the sunnis. if we jump in on the side of one, we will be perceived by the sunnis as another part of the problem. it won t solve why isis has been able to track these sunni ghu communities. maliki and his government have pushed them into the arm, of isis. lobbing bombs is not going to make a difference and it may embitter people on the ground further against the united states. they re only 40 miles from baghdad. that s true, but i think we re beginning to see the resistance stiffen. as the shia military, as the shia militias find this is the battleground. i think isis is going to find getting territory much more difficult. the key is to break away those sunni communities from isis in the north. i think we can do that, but we

want to sign a trade pact until some bobs get lobbed on to their line. it s a horrible agreement for us. they won t sign. you look at south korea. they won t sign. two weeks later, they sign it as soon as north korea starts lobbing bombs. they talked about what a wonderful ally we are. this is an agreement that nobody from our standpoint should have signed. it s pretty sad, i will say. when you look at china with the manipulation of currency, taking all of our jobs, building and making all of our products. i mean, virtually everything we buy today is made in china. so how are we going to build up jobs other than health care, which isn t the kind of job you are talking about, it s a pretty sad situation. you have got the campaign speech ready. if donald trump were to run in the republican primaries, who would you consider to be your greatest threat, the biggest
