responding to how insane the media is, and that is our promise. we are fair, we are balanced, we are not the destroyed trumpet media let not your heart be troubled. i am giving you three extra seconds, laura ingraham. >> laura: sean, i am so upset, you are so mean to all of the wonderful liberals out there. you are horrible out there, sean. >> sean: did you not watch this and feel like you were watching jerry springer? >> laura: we were trying to leave a message during the break. >> sean: leave a message on the "hannity hotline." realplayer tomorrow. you can do it at the same time. >> laura: great show, and hannity great show. we have fun on this show. what can i say. by the way, this is "the ingraham angle," live from washington, d.c., and this is our 100th show. 100 shows? can you believe it?

it's like it was last year that we started. we have an incredible show you're not going to want to miss tonight, including every story from a lot of different angles. we have a stunning revelation out of orlando today, the bomber of the terror incident that killed people inside that pulse nightclub was known to the fbi, and so is his son. unbelievable report the amount and kim jong un is meeting with foreign leaders today, but not anyone from president trump's team. going to tell you where he is and why. plus, the left is targeting masculinity. of course they are. we are going to debate what is really motivating them. and what key factors those gun-control marches not understand? we'll have video that will shock you. but first, when trump wins on principle, that is the focus of tonight's ph. "angle." all right, given friday's kick in the gut, you know, when the president did to decided to si,

not vito, that $1.3 trillion omnibus bill, the phrase "trump wins on principle" might seem a little odd to say the least, but bear with me. amid the disappointment that a lot of you were rightly feeling, myself included, given the bait and switch on the border wall and the fact that planned parenthood gets full funding, i want to tell you tonight, there are victories on the horizon, especially involving one critical area that is woefully under covered by the american media in which the president, remember, relentlessly pressed on the campaign trail. >> on trade, we are going to end the international abuse. our massive chronic trade deficits are destroying the middle class and shifting money away from workers to large corporations who have no borders. >> laura: one of the big reasons why he got elected page and i'll tell you, trump's team, they have been busily renegotiating trade deals and

knocking down market barriers that have been killing off american manufacturing and hurting our workers. and the good fruits of this work are now emerging. remember that one serious tv network like cnn and cbs, our trade policy for them doesn't merit as much airtime as porn stars, but our alleged trade policy has a lasting impact on the lives of most americans and their families. trump has been pretty widely on trade, and he has made provocative and bold moves. he has talked to love, he has threatened tariffs, and at almost every turn, the globalists predicted total disaster. >> the u.s. president said he is going to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. this is basically a byword for, well, i might start a trade war. >> there are real consequences to this that he doesn't seem to

appreciate. >> this is a toxic mix we are in right now, and if the president pushes ahead with that, it is not too far a reach to say, could this be the thing that pushes the world into a period of very considerable instabilit instability. >> laura: oh, my god. how do these people still work in television? i still don't get it. once again, the so-called experts -- i say that all the time. the so-called experts were wrong. trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum proposed to raise additional tariffs have brought beijing to the unitary negotiae and are getting results. the chinese economic minister announced their continuing talks with the trump administration but they have already committed to a large, like this, easing u.s. access to the chinese might know mike market, treating domestic and foreign firms equally, the semiconductor imports, that's big, and they will no longer

require u.s. firms to hand over intellectual property in exchange for operating in the company. the u.s. times is reporting that they trump team is also making headway on tariffs and american cars and that they are going to gain access to the chinese financial sector. well, folks, since we have a $375 billion trade deficit with china, this is all really good news. on trade, let's remember, the president has stood on principle. he stuck to his guns and he completely altered the dynamic for the better. and it is not only in china. the white house says that a new nasa deal is in the offing. we should note that jared kushner is working hard on this behind the scenes. then today, we learned that trump's tariff talk has brought back to korea to the bargaining

table as well. think about this, less than three months after he was elected, president trump made it crystal clear what he thought of that korean-u.s. trade deal. >> we have a horrible trade deal with korea. even before we do something with that, because we are negotiating the trade deal with korea, we will either negotiate a trade deal or we are going to terminate the deal. >> laura: well, of course, that horrified the globe, but he got south korea's attention big-league. trump's team has been plugging away, you haven't heard about it, at a total renegotiation of that agreement. the deal was approved in 2012 and is the nafta as a trademark, so it's not shocking at that it out to be a complete nightmare. in the first five years since it went into effect, our trade deficit increased for all but one month, 59 of 60 months. our auto sector was hardest hit,

but others were as well. last year, korea shipped more than $16 billion worth of passenger cars here, but we sent only $1.5 billion worth of vehicles over there. yet today, korea announced it had made significant concessions to benefit u.s. automakers while also they are capping the amount of korean steel that can flood into our market paid for that, they are going to get a partials tariffs. this is terrific news for american industry. it is also great news for our national security as well, because removing obstacles to cooperating and dealing with the north korean threat. it also shows us how trump uses leverage. you've got to use the leverage where you have it. tariffs are not a four letter word. most presidents have used them. selectively, but they've used them. of course, a fake news, they

prefer to ignore the substantive issues, you know, the ones that really matter, and all the progress that trump has made. citizens, by the way, who have seen the way of life, their standard of living, destroyed da period of what, unchecked trade abuses. people who work for companies like steel. >> my father worked as a smelter for 40 years. he retired early so another guy could keep his job. my brother, he was laid off and he didn't come back to work. this has directly affected our family, not only ours, but over 300 other families. the trump administration has given it back to us. >> laura: speaking for steel companies, lumen and companies, the forgotten people. that is who turned out to vote for trump in 2016. they need him to keep

challenging the washington corruptocrats and changing policies that don't work. while the left-wing resistance is working on resistance and porn stars, they should stick to principles. it's a shame they blew it on the omnibus, but they are killing it on trade. and so we soldier on, and that's the "angle" ." what i just laid out really does speak to the disconnect, but i talked about it for, i don't know, 15 years in the media and books and so forth between the left and the rest of the country. while the media for offset the model for star stormy daniels, tangible results are actually being achieved that directly affect you and your family. after all of the talk about how motivated the democrats are, i am telling you, this is true and key to the midterms. trump and the g.o.p. are about

results. the left, today, at least, it is about. most americans aren't comfortable with what they saw over the weekend. the profanity, the crude posters, first amendment out there, make your point, that's fine. with the profanity and the ange, the nastiness, i don't think so. but conservatives do need to counter this, and they have to counter it with substance, thought, and results. joining me now to discuss all this in the studio, dave bostic, fox news contributor, and a former deputy director of the trump campaign, and remotely, austan goolsbee, and economic professor at the university of chicago and a former top economic advisor and a "wall street journal" columnist and fox news contributor. let's start with you, austan, i remember an audit editorial was written about you,

austan goolsbee's revenge, because you successfully, according to the journal, convinced barack obama to abandon his campaign pledge to renegotiate to nafta, and they credited you with bringing this unbridled enthusiasm for free trade back to the mind-set of barack obama. that is while considering where we are today, austan. >> well, not exactly. first, congratulations, laura, on the 100th show. >> laura: thank you, we brought you want to celebrate, austan. >> now, the thing that is happening with donald trump, they had a record-setting day on the stock market today, precisely because donald trump is not going to do the things that he has been promising to do. last week when they thought he was going to enact the trade war-starting tariffs, the stock market had its worst week in the years.

steel tariffs are not a good idea. they destroyed hundreds of thousands -- >> laura: let me jump in here. you are fond -- i just want to get this on the record. you are fine with every american steel manufacturer, aluminum manufacturer, going out of business? you're fine with that, correct? >> no. >> laura: what do you mean? we had 19 of the top 23 steelmakers in the world, we now have three. >> i said putting in blanket steel tariffs destroys more manufacturing jobs than it save saves. it goes after chinese intellectual property, i'm all for that. >> laura: how do we get china to the table? we got them to the table with the only leverage we have. >> austan, that's how we got them to the table. the last 25 years of a president's failed policies, whether it is nafta, any of these bad deals with

south korea, these have cost american jobs, cost american companies, and that is what this president said. i made a promise during the campaign and i'm going to keep it. promise made, promise kept. he is bringing all of them to the table with strong words. >> laura: go here, we've got kimberly, "the wall street journal," the word "tariff," i'm sorry to "the wall street journal," but you might as well be burning crosses, the "journal" hates tariffs. they think tariffs should never be, frankly, as far as i can tell, instituted. i submit that the "journal" has been wrong on this issue for 25 years. these tariffs are what got europe paying attention. they're working with japan and us to put pressure on china, korea was brought to the table, our manufacturers are going to benefit, and the world is taking notice. maybe we pulled him back. if that's okay. but we had leverage and used it. >> laura, what is the definition

of trade? it's one country doing something with a competitive advantage over the other. you trade because one can do with cheaply than the other. they both benefit in the end. that's the idea. when you talk about some of these steel manufacturers going under, part of it was because we weren't doing as good a job, and partly because of liberal policies imposing vast amounts of regulation and taxes on our companies. one of the most important things that donald trump has done since he came into office was deal with our domestic agenda and begin to make it easier for manufacturers from an energy perspective, from a deregulatory perspective, from a tax perspective, to begin competing in the world. you also want the rest of the world to play by a fair set of rules. >> laura: well, here's the problem. i understand though, trade in one country, make something cheaper. the problem with china, the market influence and market domination that they have been able to develop because of

allowing permanent trade relations status. they were able to manipulate the market. this was not an efficient marketplace. i would submit the marketplace was horrifically distorted by state subsidies, by trade, by currency devaluation. but most importantly, by cheating, dumping globally, not just dumping in the united states. cheaters. >> let's say you are right, and you probably are right, then we ought to be for a policy that would reduce those other countries' barriers more than the u.s., but that is exactly what the tpp was going to do that trump abandoned. >> laura: austan, this is what gets me going more than the issue, i'm sorry. >> this president ran on fair trade. this president ran unfair trade. he ran on being president of the united states and representing his country to the best of his ability and tough talk,

talking about tariffs, talk about ending these bad trade deals is what is getting us, getting american workers back. >> laura: more importantly, how many people remember when hillary argued about how much in favor she was of the tpp? uh, nobody. how many remember when barack obama argued in favor of extending nafta indefinitely. uh, nobody. however many remember when democrats were getting up saying, in 2020, we are going to be running for more trade deals, we are going to be in favor of more trade deals? they all know this is a winner electorally. that's why obama was against it, hillary was not arguing for the tpp. this is all a big shell game for the democrats. they claim to be for the little guy, they argue they are going to be, and when they get into office, they next there little guy trade policy. that happened. you are the one that worked with obama. you convince them, didn't you, austan, to nick's nafta.

>> this is why republicans have always led on trade policy, which is a good thing, because democrats aren't going to do it. they will always cave into unions and special interest. >> laura is endorsing that position. >> laura: i actually think democrats and republicans can work together on a lot of issues. i actually think -- >> no, but here's -- what you have to do is call out the truly rogue -- the good news here -- >> laura: we have to move, so much is happening in this part of the discussion. i'm going to play for you a sound bite from the march for our lives over the weekend when two of the most well-known activists, pro-gun-control activists, let's watch. >> i want an incredibly large voter registration turn out to happen here. >> we are going to make this a voting issue. to those voters that supported the nra that allowed the continued slaughter of our children and our future, i say,

get your resumes ready. >> laura: who wrote that line? let's go to kimberly on that. this was supposedly about guns, but i said a couple of weeks ago, this was really about voter registration, this was abo getting your power back, so garnishes for now, your reactions? >> i think what happened here is that this is an issue that many on the left have seized upon as a way of further motivating their base to come out. i think the problem is that while it does motivate some on the democratic base, there are vast numbers of americans out there, laura, who appreciate not just the first amendment, but the second amendment too, and understand we apply our bill of rights equally and that some of these solutions or the arguments that are being espoused by a lot of those who showed up are not going to be the answer to gun violence or broader violence in our community. >> we need to protect our

students. i have four kids in three different schools. we want our our kids to be protected. we need better background checks, we need mental health checks. those are important things that we can actually effect immediately. the legislative process is going to take a long time. >> laura: austan, i think it was genius what they did in organizing this. i think republicans aren't all that good with the protest culture. i think they are not all that good at these voter registration drives. but i actually was impressed by the organization, the money that flowed in. >> who paid for it? >> laura: not david hogg. go on. >> in my view, issues like, should there be universal background checks and more attention paid to mental health and whether people can get access to guns, that is an issue that favors democrats and favors a kind of centrist approach. >> laura: we are out of town. they always hang their hat on -- got to go.

bombshell news out of orlando tonight in what looks like another black eye for the fbi. the father of omar mateen, remember him? the terrorist that gunned down 49 people at the pulse nightclub attack back in 2016. it was just revealed as an fbi informant. that is according to court documents and testimony in the trial of noor salman. authorities killed mateen on the night of attack, but his widow is facing charges for aiding and abetting her husband when she dropped him off that night. at the trial today, and fbi special agent testified that omar's father, seddique mateen, was an fbi informant for more than a decade prior to the pulse nightclub attack, and according to reporters in the courtroom, the agent also revealed the fbi was considering making omar himself and informant. nice. this despite the fact that the agency knew omar had previously spoken out to friends and

associates about having ties to terrorist organizations. it was all a joke, i'm sure he paid for more on this incredible story, let's go to former lapd detective mark fuhrman and terry torchia, who formerly worked in fbi counterterror, describing both of you gentlemen in those plans terms don't really capture it, but i've got to say, when i saw this, i out of both of you, saying we got to get your internet, terry, let's start with both of you, how is the fact that we are just learning now about omar mateen -- we have kind of not heard much about him in the aftermath of the attack, but now we learn his father was an informant, then they thought about actually recruiting omar himself, but then they also found out about his connection to the terrorist organizations. >> i think what surprised me most about this, laura, usually, when you are in the lead up to a trial, you have to disclose everything you have that might be relevant to the defense. in this instance, they waited a

long time. i can tell you this, literally within its of the shooting and after omar mateen's name was known, the fbi knew that omar mateen was connected to seddique, they would have been an index check and they would have known immediately. the fbi has prior interest with these people. that is not at all unusual. what i am surprised about is that they would have decided to regulate about the child did not anything about that. they took chances and waiting this long. it turns out that the judge said, this is not relevant, and continues on. but there are a lot of questions here. one glaring thing that comes to mind, if seddique was, in fact, in fbi informant in that time, i think the market was at various points, it is very possible that he could be providing information on something else, and they decided they need to keep that part of this client for as long as we can. but ultimately, it was the prosecution team that had to make a decision, and the doj, of

if and when they were going to reveal this. and today it was revealed. really it makes you feel uneasy, and it is a little hard to explain it, the average person would say, that doesn't make any sense. it is going to feed a lot of conspiracy theories regardless of how it goes from here on out. >> laura: fuhrman, what effect might this have on local and law enforcement? >> laura, it is my experience, and i don't know if terry will agree, but the fbi is rather rigid with their investigative techniques, and they do not like to share information. information is power and they prefer to keep all of it in-house. it is very difficult. boston bombing was a perfect example of that. they don't want to share information with metropolitan police departments, no matter if it is a specialized police department or not. but i look at this situation, and the first question i have, he was an informant for what? and they are trying to recruit

omar for what reason? so it is obvious that the fbi felt that omar did have a connection to terrorism and that he could possibly, if he could flip them, give information that they could otherwise not obtain. so not revealing this would be obvious because they don't know if they made a mistake or not, but they would rather play it safe. >> laura: i want to play for you, terry, a sound bite from director comey about this matter. let's watch. >> we are also going to look hard at our own to see whether there is something we should have done differently. so far, the honest answer is, i don't think so. so far we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the united states and received no indication that he was part of any kind of network. it is also not entirely clear at this point just went terrorist group he aspired to support. >> laura: when that have been

the time for the director, director comey -- by the way, this was a presidential election year. let's not forget that, 2016. they were fudging a lot of stuff in 2012 when romney was running against obama with benghazi. the benghazi thing sticks in my mind. it wasn't a terror attack, now this. like, we don't say, we thought it was an informant. you can see how that would have -- imagine trump doing that against hillary? speaker i would have said, you are absolutely right. this is just absurd. it's hard to believe in this day and age, listening to comey there -- he knew at that point in time when he gave that press conference, as did sally yates, who was standing next to him, that seddique mateen was a

bureau informant or had been a puerile informant. i don't know why they chose not to say anything about it then. but i believe that they had already made a judgment that, for some reason, that we can't bring this up, we are going to wait and let the prosecutors figured out who make it closer to trial. one of the possible reasons, maybe he was reporting on something else. to go back to something mark said, and i do agree with him. in national security cases, especially since 9/11, this goes back all the way to the days after watergate and the hearings, and then phase out, which, of course, we're talking about all the time now. it changed when we talk about national security issues. we are still now, i think, in my opinion, paying a price for guidelines that aren't keeping up keeping up with what we are now facing. >> laura: mark, really quickly to close it out. >> well, you know what, i listened to terry tuck, and he

is an fbi agent. the thing that fbi director, it was commenting on, it is interesting. he is sure that they did not, were not involved in a network, but the network lives inside the brains of these terrorists. and, you know, it has been 17 years since 9/11. i think they've figured out how to not get on the radar a very large percentage of the time to still have contact and still be part of a terrorist network. >> laura: all right, guys. fantastic segment as always, to both of you, and directly head, korea's leader kim jong un leaving his country for the first time since becoming a leader? but where did he go reportedly? and what might this mean for his potential meeting with president trump? stay right there.

to put an end to this standoff over the country's nuclear weapons. but according to the reports, president trump will not be the first foreign leaders to take a meeting with rocket man. "bloomberg news" is reporting that kim is currently in china and his first foreign trip since taking power in 2011. trying to make sense of all this. is this really happening? let's bring in the author of "nuclear showdown." with me here in washington, the director of the studies for the center of national interests. gordon, let's start with you. i read this today, i nearly fell out of my chair. armored car precession going from north korea to china. our well-being plunked here? what's going on? first of all, there is no confirmation that kim jong un is in beijing, but i believe he is, and what's going on, seizure and ping is trying to pull the string of north koreans. kim jong un, the first foreign leader he wanted to meet was

south korea's moon jae-in. xi jinping says, the objects look really bad, i'm going to force the north koreans to come to beijing because, mike kim jong un and xi jinping 'mind, he is a vassal. this shows that china does control north korea. when china wants something, they get it. i think really what we are seeing is the chinese telling the north koreans, you've got to do what we, the chinese, essay. >> laura: hey, everybody, i'm going to be president for life. come to me. this is such a wild story. we are still wondering if this meeting with president trump will happen. everybody freaked out when that was announced. but this could be significant because it might involve the u.s. putting pressure on china, to help either smooth this out, pave the way, perhaps, to a meeting. what are your thoughts. >> i think it's because the chinese do have a huge role to play here. i think there is a big bigger question you need to ask.

is kim jong un panicking? what do north koreans get out of a negotiation? nothing. now the trump administration is demanding that they give up their nuclear weapons, we had john bolton make a lot of statements, say how are they going to bring it back to the united states, i have a feeling the north koreans could actually be in beijing to figure out how to get out of this and help the chinese do this. it's possible. >> laura: let's talk to gordon about the thinking of both the chinese in the north koreans separately on bolton as national security advisor. because that shake-up, more people across the country, but they are watched very closely in the middle east, watched very closely in asia as well. bolton, neoconservative hawk on the iraq war. what does north korea think? >> i think north korea is very concerned that the united states

is going to strike them a blood he knows or whatever. also i think that they understand that bolton come up with this proliferation security initiative, is going to cut off north korean sales of weapons to too, for instance, iran. this has been going on for decades. i think bolton, as national security advisor, is going to put an end to that. i'm sure north koreans are very concerned. also the chinese, because the chinese have been aiding in this trade, and they are not going to like to see bolton in 1600 pennsylvania, putting an end to their support for north korea. >> i think that is 100% accurate. i would go further. i think john bolton is their worst nightmare. he is going to drive hard times when it comes to negotiation. he is also going to drive hard terms in terms of trade as we have been talking about. i think it is a fact that the chinese have been doing a lot of damage to our economy, and now that you will have maximum pressure north korea, you are also going to maximum pressure

on china. >> laura: a friend that has done very well in new york, and with the global trade, he is petrified of john bolton. i don't think this guy is afraid of anything, but he clearly thinks john bolton himself is going to blow up the world, gordon, and i have heard this from wall streeter after wall streeter. "oh, my god, john bolton, that's the last person." just been a total frothy knelt down over john bolton. it's ludicrous. >> it is ludicrous. this is the way people in the markets work. they don't want any disruption to the way the world is currently act f. bolton is important. he is saying, we have a china and russia problem, and we've got to deal with it. if we want to have a future, we've got to make sure the chinese and russians are not attacking our society, which they have been doing by trying to undermine our democracy. they have been trying to drop my

clothes off the comments, trying to take from our neighbors, some of which are allies, and it's important for, i think, the world the world see beijing and moscow as it is paid bolton does that. he understands it, the problems in the world today. spoon harry and gordon, great segment, both of you. phenomenal raters as well. in the left assault on masculinity. you're not going to want to miss it, coming up. how'd i get this yard? behind pete's great looking yard, is his secret weapon... the scotts turf builder program. all it takes is 4 feedings,

come on. bring in liberal analysts -- i'll not call you a liberal analyst. you're an analyst. >> you could call me left-leaning, i would say. >> laura: how are you? let's talk about this. when i hear these attacks on masculinity, here the left equating masculine, what it meao be masculine with abusive or criminality. we are all against abuse, we are all against criminality, like we should be. for me, when you say someone is masculine, it doesn't -- i don't see that. i don't want that, no one i no bond set, but it's okay for a man too, as a friend of mine says, protect, provide, and defend, and i'm sorry, most women i happen to know like men who like to do that, that carry themselves that way and that's what they think their role is. today in schools and discussions like we saw on msnbc, that is considered kind of icky, that

whole construct is oppressive, why is that? >> i think there is nothing necessarily wrong with, you know, a man who wants to protect and defend. that specific segment was talking about the fact that rigid gender roles, specifically in boys, are tied to higher rates of suicide, substance abuse, violence. basically saying that gender role, they basically feel like they can't express themselves. >> laura: how is that connected. we have had gender roles for, i don't know, melania. like gender roles are, tossing ways to commit suicide, maybe there are a lot of factors in drug abuse, promiscuity, and, you know, shaming, and substance abuse of other types, addiction,

isolation because of social media, family dissolution. men have been masculine for a long time, but they feminists are like, it's masculinity causing them to do all that. >> in the feminist community, we talk about how gender roles tend to hold women back, but there is also something about how gender roles tend to hold men back. men are taught from a young age, a very young age, preschool age, that they are supposed to be unemotional, macho, aggressive. because of that, they don't really have that healthy balance for an outlet other anger, frustration, things are sensitive about, rage, things they are feeling, and because of that, expresses them sultan to , there are other factors at play, but often expresses itself through violence and turning inward through depression, self-harm, substance abuse. i'm not saying it's the only cause, but -- >> laura: maybe it is society making them feel like they're

all predators. i know a lot of guys who work in a workplace, lawyers or businessmen, and they feel like it is open season on them. i mean, these are good people. they feel like, we can't complement anyone, they feel like, literally, if they are single, they can't ask out a gal down the hallway for a drink because if they do, that is going to be considered somehow overly aggressive or abusive. i'm telling you, it's not easy to be a man in the current work environment or in the current societal environment. >> i would argue it's a lot harder to be a woman in the current work -- >> laura: well, that's for sure. that's a given. >> right. i think perhaps these men are experiencing additional pressure, having to watch what they say, how they behave, i think that's a welcome change after the way women have long been treated in the workplace. i wouldn't say that's one of the root causes of this increased self harming behaviors in men.

i think gender roles play a part in that in all the things that come along with it. the gender roles create isolation, anger. >> laura: great segment. the question, over the weekend, why did they really march? coming up. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, ... with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include

>> isn't it similar? >> it's not. >> assault weapons account for about 3%, car crash are the leading cause. >> something that's outdated, times have changed, and i don't necessarily agree with the second amendment to agree with. >> laura: now, that's the truth. this is the problem with political lacking substance. lots of people show up and they applause for lin manuel and amy schumer, but what is it for? one thing is clear, after watching the maniacal coverage over the weekend, they are marching to save lives, the political lives of these people. we'll be right back. ptoms were m being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people
