How is everybody doing yeah i feel like after this weekend, even if we did have an audience, thats the response id be getting. Lets get to the news. President trump called into fox and friends this morning and said his list of potential Supreme Court nominees was down to five names.

There are more rules in my buildings lobby than there are in all of wyoming. Those people are out there firing automatic weapons at scarecrows and i hav
Thank all of our Reagan Foundation trustees, but in particular mr. Ted olson, a driving force behind this celebration. Ted, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. [ applause ] we will turn to the legacy and discuss the contribution and the ways in which we will continue to see her hand in law and in the civic life of this great country. In 1966, outlining his vision of the creative society, Ronald Reagan advanced an initiative to take judges out of politics and articulated his vision of an ideal judge. He called for judges to be, quote, men with ability, men of honor and men who are fair minded.

The september townhall was unprecedented in the seriousness that candidates and at least part of the electorate had in addressing the issue. But the devil is in the details. And as the details emerge and various candidatess plan was be another questions have emerge. To frak or not. To nuke or not. To tax or not tax or capture carbon or not.
