this administration was able to bring otto warmbier home. i think that that is something that they feel good about, but you know, keep in mind, president trump really made being harsh on north korea part of his campaign. he made being harsh on china part of his campaign. certainly we have not seen the level of aggressiveness toward china that he pledged now that he's in office because as we've been discussing, the situation is incredibly delicate. it's not that straightforward. there's a lot going on both between our relations with china and threats from north korea that go beyond this one young man. and so i think we're seeing the trump administration realizing how complex this issue is. he made a pledge to get hard on china in order for china to crack down on north korea, and this puts extra pressure for him to live up to that pledge. >> you're hear something in the house talking about a travel ban. would that have much impact? it's not clear. let's turn now to the polls in georgia. in about two hours, opening for this huge congressional r
