how everybody is flipping out about this. put a ban against iran when we have problems with iran and he went as far to kick people of the country. obama had a band against iraq for 120 days and there was nothing said about that. so someone is trying to keep us safe and look at the vetting process and everyone is up in arms. he's never said anything about religion in his executive orders. that isn't what it's about. host: we will talk to a democratic member of congress in our next segment and we will ask you about some of those issues that you bring up. about been very critical this travel ban. robert is in pittsburgh. go ahead. caller: yes, i retired air force. and i've to say one thing to all americans. 43% didn't vote say you deserve what you get. and don't just complain about this man because you didn't vote. naive got him so don't complain. leggett said, i'm retired and i spent my time by giving my time to this country. and i'd like to know how much time did this president give to this country, other than making money? you think the voting patterns will change in 2018 in the midt
