and then i came across brian reagan's file. ble to quickly see that he had some cryptography training and suggestions he had some financial difficulty in the file. and finally, i got to take a detailed review of brian's performance evaluation. brian's career he received a number of performance evaluations, all of which were exceptional. however, there was one evaluation that he received where he was downgraded minimally, but he was so used to receiving the top levels across the board, he actually wrote a rebuttal. and in that letter, you could see evidence of dyslexia. when i saw the misspellings, i actually couldn't believe that i was reading them properly. i thought i was misreading it and i read it again and i read it again. wow, this can't be coincidental. this person had the same problem with spellings as the person who wrote the letter that the fbi had. once i was confident that it was brian that was the potential unsub, i put together a briefing and requested that we brief that to the fbi. >> now we have to start looking

related question is whether the reagan conservatives can be kept in the republican coalition and whether there are enough of them to bother with. on the republican line, brian from knoxville, pennsylvania. good morning. >> yeah. a quick question, do you think with the president's son-in-law being part of the israeli peace process and the president giving jerusalem the embassy is tied in with the syrian move? as well as how do you feel that jewish wealth in our country has affected politics? i heard a statistic up to 50% of our billionaires being jewish. >> president trump's policy on israel has been supportive of israel government. he's moved the american embassy from tel aviv which the largest metro area into jerusalem which is the capital of israel. many people, including many experts on the middle east -- [inaudible] -- i haven't noticed any lately. and i think, you know, the idea that other arab countries, saudi arabia, the gulf states, egypt, would react very negatively to us if we supported israel in this regard. that doesn't seem to be the case. it may have been the case 25 years ago. doesn't seem to be the case this year. you know, i think that the
