good morning. yesterday everybody was talking about we love the agreements, we hate the agreement but what happens in 90 days? >> there is a false equivalency, there is the deal or the war, a binary choice and i don't think that will happen. here is where it becomes an interesting moment in time with our allies. we have our allies on a different page. when the pres. made the decision yesterday saudi arabia and israel came out with supportive public statements and backs up what the pres. said about his decision to withdraw from the deal, bailey ballistic missiles, the whole list. on the other hand we have a problem with our european allies. they have over the past week 2 years and sanctions were released done a lot of business in iran. you say to these european companies under what the treasury department said yesterday you have to walk back that business.

it will be a hard pool for the europeans to swallow. what you saw the iranian regime come out with, we will continue to abide by the deal. here is the tough choice for the administration and the treasury department, if the europeans stay in the deal and european businesses continue to do business in iran will we start sanctioning european companies? you have seen many european banks in new york city that were fined heavily for doing business in iran. banks haven't gone back in since that action happened. that is going to be the showdown. it is a false choice. rob: it seems to be looking at what the president said, the us maybe get sanctioning banking, energy and related activities but in 90 days the us may

summit. trump inviting colin kaepernick rings hollow. and goes on to say trump hijacked the original message and in return turned him into public enemy number one. is this not what colin kaepernick wanted along? she is deliverable to what trump does, and politics, not race. if he were smart he would accept the pres.'s invitation and constructive information for consideration. the race idea is interesting and will include musicians, actors, and -- rob: it is what she should want. 35 minutes after the hour, results in overnight.

i know patrick morrissey. he is an indefatigable campaigner. i never met someone who worked as hard. he came from behind. blankenship had to lead, he got in front, the pres. got involved, and his son tweeted out, let's get behind, jenkins, an interesting strategy with the democrats, they tried to beat jenkins, they were successful in driving jenkins's numbers down but he is the one candidate who can beat manchin who is in real trouble. his opponent in the democratic primary 14-1, got a little more than 65% of the vote. a huge harbinger that he has real challenges not only with as you mentioned earlier could be a republican, that doesn't get his base excited and republicans go past morrissey and in ohio, up a little from where it was in 2014 in the last midterm. republicans are energized in west virginia.
