Mike and alex, back over to you. Nicely done. Lets check on the president of the united states. Because he just landed in israel. This is a live shot you see Melania Trump as well as President Trump, they are there. Beautiful day. What is it about 1 18 in the afternoon would i think. This is second leg of the trip he was just in saudi arabia. Still pursuit of peace between israelis and palestinians that is on the dock it, and that kind of a job that has been asked of Jared Kushner as a matter of fact. Yesterday he addressed arab leaders in saudi arabia calling fun unity against islamic extremist, noteably missing from the president s speech yesterday a stapel of his campaign the phrase radical islamic terrorism, um, didnt use it there. President trump also helped egyptian and saudi leaders open up the Global Center for combating extreme idealology, of course, a huge arms deal was also brokered between the two countries n fact biggest arms deal in u. S. History. Very big trip and historic trip. We will check on him as he moves throughout israel. Lets talk about the vicepresident , it wasnt a happy home coming when he delivered a commencement speech at notre dame. This is in his home state of indiana. Thomas we are seeing people walk out but not because graduation is over. Freedom of expression they werent having it so they walk out they had their own graduation outside. Dozens of graduates they walk out of the Graduation Ceremony yesterday when vicepresident pence took the poad yum. Thank you all. Well, students were protesting those affected by policies of the trump administration, immigration, gay rights, and pence didnt miss a beat. He didnt comment on the walk out. He did discuss need to accept free speech on College Campus es, regardless of personal belief, listen. While this institution has maintained an atmosphere of civility and opened debate, far too many campuss Cross America have become characterize by speech code, safe zones, and tone policing. Administration sanctioned Political Correctness all of which amounts to nothing less than suppression of the freedom of speech. Mike and alex, school invited pence to speak after students signed a petition against having President Trump speak. Once again white house no official word from them, the university not saying either, they made within brief comment about the weather. Yes. Just sorry about the weather, anything but that. Free speech on both parts, vicepresident and the students. 6 21. Big night for world of music, this morning, nobody is talking about the music. They are talking about cher. For the love.

Dont wait. Call 844 reach nj or visit reachnj. Gov. Phillies havent won a series in a month, yesterday they had a chance to win their first in may but they just could not get any runs, on the board. Aaron nola had a good game but unfortunately this was the difference, in the sixth, bases loaded nola hits david freeze bringing home a run and that is the only run that the pirates would need. In the eighth Aaron Altherr with the chance in the game but could not catch up to the fast ball. That is a strike out. Phillies lose one to nothing. They have lost seven straight games. And series.
