The big news story this weekend was President Trump's "surprise" visit to North Korea. To discuss what happens next we were joined by Aaron Blake, Senior Reporter for the Washington Post. He feels the US strategy now is to perhaps accept some weapons as opposed to demanding complete denuclearization.

Last night's debate was a blockbuster. Raised voices, challenges and policy differences.on display. With that in mind, I mixed my thoughts with those of listeners as I read and at times commented on reactions from those who commented on my facebook page www.facebook.com/ronnowens, If there was one unanimous belief, it was that Kamela Harris won the debate.

I talked with my favorite political pundit, Chris Matthews, host of “Hardball” on MSNBC.

We talked about the two Democratic debates that are going to take place tomorrow and Thursday. We agreed that with so many candidates, each one will be looking for a catchy slogan to stand out.

Two major issues dominated news conversations this past weekend: Immigration and Iran.

In both of them, the President made a decision and by the next day, reversed his stand.  Ronn talked about how unsettling this is for our allies and the world itself.
