Well, ladies and gentlemen, it has been a busy week. I mean, between bombing Iran, firing the head of Homeland Security, a particular disgraced Republican congressmen stepping down, not to mention a ton of other things going on in Virginia right now. It's just been nuts. It has been a crazy week. And we're going to go over the recap. We're going to go over the recap today. Plus, we're going to take your questions on a whole variety of topics. But first things first, let's jump into the latest announcement that Tony Gonzalez is not going to be seeking re-election. That's right. The congressman that was running in the incumbent congressman in the 23rd district running against Brandonnan Herrera has decided that he's not going to run for reelection now that kind of

some of the lurid details of a scandal that he was involved in have come fully to light.

1:49.6

married with six kids and a female staffer was also married with a young son.

1:55.4

And of course, Tony Gonzalez came out and said, this is a tragedy and that all of the rumors

1:59.3
