Here's my favorite ramp for the day excerpted from our podcast which you can find over at Tom Harbin.

Come back to the second hour of our program, Congressman, well, let me get to that in just a minute.

I was going to talk about Mr. Shulkin who banned Mr.

Pruitt, Mr. Zinke and whatnot. Let me start with Israel. The Israeli police have recommended an indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, on corruption

charges.

That's the headline by Lubday Morris and Ruth Eglash in today's Washington Post. They say that he's been accused or they want

him to be indicted on suspicion of giving political favors for gifts worth over $280,000 and cutting a deal with a newspaper publisher for

favorable coverage. Now the thing that I find really interesting about this, Paul Ryan received a $500,000 contribution

from the Koch brothers the day after or soon after the multi-billion dollar, the trillion, one and a half trillion to the wall is a five trillion

dollar tax cut, one and a half trillion dollars being put on the national

credit card, four trillion dollars ultimately being cut out of social programs.

In order to give the Koch brothers

and their other billionaire buddies a multi-billion dollar tax cut. So I find it

real interesting the way that the american media is just kind of mentioning

this in passing without the detail of what specifically netniahu has been charged with

but he's been charged with basically giving a tax cut to billionaires in Israel

in exchange for them

get you know basically spiffing him you know making his life nice as it were and

and the way the British reported on this I think you know it tells us a lot about the American media. This is from the

BBC World News Tonight podcast that you know go that went out last night. this is what I I went to sleep

listening to last night and I heard this it woke me up so much I got up I wrote

somebody down I you know it's just well check it out listen to this
