Nick talks about why this could be a bad thing. Nick goes over the wealth of several senators. Could the uber wealthy senators hold the not so wealthy senators hostage? President Donald Trump read from 2 Chronicles 7 during a nationwide Bible-reading event, a passage organizers say was deliberately reserved for the president because of its decades-long role as a call to prayer in America. President Donald Trump is defending remarks from earlier this week when he said he wasn’t factoring in Americans’ financial situation amid efforts to negotiate an end to the Iran war. ALSO - Congressman Eric Burlison joins the program: Eric shares his thoughts on the no pay during shutdowns. Trump & the economy. Iran.
