| 0:00.0 | This is Bill Press and Friends on the District Productive Network. |
| 0:11.4 | One thing that Donald Trump did not mention about in his address to Congress, of course, |
| 0:16.0 | was anything to do with Russia. |
| 0:19.0 | He didn't say, we're not going to let Russia seize any more territory. We're |
| 0:22.7 | going to make Russia give back to Crimea. We're going to make Russia get out of Ukraine. None of that. |
