Hes wrong now. I had no right to overturn the election. Reporter in an interview today for Face The Nation former Vice President mike pence was asked if he would testify against his former commander in chief. I have no plans to testify. But people can be confident, well obey the law. Well respond to the call of the law if it comes. And well just tell the truth.

These storms are going to be riding around our ridge of high pressure, that heat dome, if you will, that just doesnt want to go away.

Just as saudi arabia cut back on oil exports, reducing Global Supply and helping drive up the price of crude.
