This is going to be a very heavy lived in the House of Representatives, it even harder lift than in the Senate, because the Nancy Pelosi has just the three or four, depending on how many people are seated. At this point, the three or four c majority in the House of Representatives
that means she has basically no room to wiggled no room to manoeuvre, and I just think we should all buckle up for a really bumpy ride here, because this is not going to be quick.

All, right we're a learning more this morning about Donald Trump Final days in office. There is new report

or empty spaces in the defence department, which then
allowed him to push norms yeah, I would say we haven't confirm this either, but certainly it sounds very much.
like a similar. Things are reporting at the time. So I think there's a couple things going on here. One is that President Trump always viewed the: U S military as his military, not the people's military. He saw the generals as his generals
I never quite understood it. The generals were loyal to the constitution. Yes, the shop is was commander in chief, but there was great fear at the Pentagon in the final days of the trumpet ministration about what might happen. I think that, had there been some sort of an attempt to put the military, this need
It was very concerned about Trump ordering them into the streets the somehow

you know where now learning from always books just how close how tense things got, how close things came, so I would say,
I think, a general Milly is relieved now that there is a different president, Germany,
