Hey, good morning on a weekend when were really dealing with extraordinary Political Uncertainty in this country in both parties. On the republican side it seems no one wants to be the speaker of the house, the most powerful job in washington or at least one of them going begging and Vice President joe biden has days to decide whether hell run for president , a move that would completely scramble that race. Yeah, time is running out for biden. The latest on both of those stories coming up. But we start with an Unwanted Development for waterlogged South Carolina. It is just what they do not need.

Angle. Now, lots of things were going through my mind tonight and tonight. Ive decided to do something different. Im going to share my feelings and thoughts on this day.

Host someone i was h thinking about was the immediate environment we are in today the carol leonnigs of the world tell laus everything so we donthave to worry. We see both the visible part of the iceberg and submerged part but in times past when there were not carol leonnigs and
