All right, so were going to keep it tight tonight. Heres the issue, mueller has manafort at the nexus of two troubling incidents. Coincidences. He alleges that manafort was meeting with russians about taming u. S. Policy in ukraine, and at the same time, he was running the Trump Campaign, and at the same time, the party was softening its platform on helping ukraine.

So just to summarize, that means we had 34 days of a shutdown and the president is getting 76 less than he said he would accept.

Its also worth noting obrien most recently got headlines for helping to secure the release of rocker a ap rocky who was helping held in sweden some folks might remember his name for that reason i want to underscore a point that you make, the timing of

Were going to open tonight with the fragile state of affairs in the middle east, defined by contradictions. Iran no longer restricting youranium enrichment or research and development. Thousands of American Military personnel are headed to the middle east on the same day Irans Parliament voted to expel u. S. Forces. Thousands took to the streets in solidarity and mourning at a time when iranbeen politically divided. At the same time theres been mixed messaging whether this is an attempt to deescalate or intensify pressure. And whether americans are safer or at higher risk given the warnings to leave iraq and from Homeland Security department .
