This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Danish, the Susa gets a pardon Samantha, be used the seaward and team Obama. We now have a retrospective into what election night was like for them. It's kind of great adventure
this adventure bourgeois. So we have a lot to get to today here on the bench spiritual lot of breaking news, the President of the United States.
In tweeting up a storm, which means that there is a lot of stuff happening. But first I want to say thanks for sponsors over at all MAX three ultra pure, so you ve heard a lot about the grand effects of omega three as well, that

No one will believe me how I have here the stuff, as it is so poor that, if you put in the freezer comes out clear, most omega three should put them in the freezer comes out cloudy. This stuff is so pure.

Trial next outcome, Slash appear today and get a free box of O Max three make Omega three party or die a lot to get to hear in the news. Today we begin, I suppose, with the pardon of genetic diseases, so the President of the United States announced today that he is going to pardons inadequacies and, of course, have been a guest on the program. I'm friendly with two national full disclosure. On that danish is
eyes basically railroaded back in back during the Obama administration, whose in the middle of making an anti Obama Documentary- and it was revealed that analyses I had engaged in the part of the process of straw
Nations are basically there's woman and Wendy Long who's running for Senate and Danish wanted to give twenty thousand dollars story. Couldn't you could only get five thousand dollars to her, so a bunch of people gave by
thousand dollars twenty long and then Dinesh. This is a reimburse them recognised this in court. He played guilty in court when he was sentenced to a certain amount of prisons.
The reason that this isn't just a case of somebody doing something wrong going to jail is because the vast majority of cases like this end with a fine. The vast majority of cases like this do not end with actual prosecution to the point where somebody goes to jail
and it seems a little coincidental that denies the Susa was making anti Obama documentaries just about the time that the Obama GEO J decided, it was necessary that domestic issues that go to jail. What President Trump responded today by saying that he is going to pardon detached Sousa Danish already serve this time. Obviously, here's my generalised opinion on this. I do not believe the president should have pardoned power just not trump any president. I think it's very silly that the constitution has pardoned
for the president that governors and pardon power. I think it's really dumb, specifically, because either you believe the criminal justice system works or you believe it doesn't, and having one guy who is sort of like a cloudy sitting under a tree ruling as to whether people ought to be spared the penalties of their of their crimes.
That seems to me rather dictatorial and it doesn't have a lot to do with the balance of powers, checks and balances of a functioning republic. I don't like the power generally, but if you're going-
use the power you have to use it very sparingly and you ought to use the power in this particular case. I would have thought that it would be more of us as commutation situations, there's a difference in pardon power between pardoning someone in commuting their sense. If you pardon somebody, then their crime goes away. It's off the books is, though, they never committed the crime in the first place. If you commute somebody sentence than if they were about to serve time, they no longer have to serve time. So right now, there's a serious call to give
Mutation to this guy, who's been twenty one years in prison and then was allowed out of prison, and then it turns out that the system got it wrong and he's already rebuilt, liveliness and back to prison wears a strong call by some people. Like friends, my Mcdonough Primo that discussion out of sentence commuted. I agree with that. You shouldn't be pardoned because he did commit the crime while in this particular case the next committed the crime is a pardon appropriate. I'm not sure that a partners appropriating the commutation,
would have been appropriate body already served his time. Here's where a pardon is appropriate, however, danish is no longer allowed to vote. Dynamic, obviously cannot get loans very easily. He it's hard from to get credit cards and their certain penalties. That attached to being a fell in Indonesia, is a convicted Phelan, which means that he couldn't have done any of those things will trump is wiping all of that off
books again, so I think the pardon would have been the best solution. Writhing commutation would have if the timing had been right, but do I find this to be a wild miscarriage of justice? I do not now is a political of course. Its political right diminishes on president,
as an interim side, he's been of a very strong advocate for president from internet,
This is a war on the left. I don't think they'd be talking pardon today, but this is unfortunately how pardon power works is has been true for clean,
It was true of Obama there a lot of people who, as you, pardons Inclemency, specifically because of their politics Chelsea
it would still be in prison if we're not for the fact that Chelsea Manning is a wild leftist whose transgender
Brok, Obama, let Chelsea Manning out of prison specifically because of those factors to pretend to pardon power has not already been used for innately political purposes would be to ignore the truth of the situation.
And so waiting. While we had left complaining a lot about the danish pardon today, I just I don't buy the outrage. I dont know that it's
that the greatest move the world, but I also don't think that it's it's unjustified and I think that the idea that Danish of Woods jail for this is insane
So meanwhile,
there's that is there. Some other news from the Trump administration we are now in the middle, apparently of a trade war, sets excellent. There's a lot of talk about from was not going to enter into a trade war and he decided that
I guess it was worth while doing so. So he is his decided to extend tariffs to the EU on a number of products and those products include
They include steel and aluminium. According to the guardian, a full scale trade war between Washington in Brussels is looming. After the US announced it was imposing tariffs on imports.
He'll, an aluminum from the European Union, the President of the European Commission, Jean Claude Yunker, promised swift retaliation. After the Us Congress Secretary Wilberfloss said, EU companies would face a twenty five percent
Gonna steal a ten percent duty on aluminum from midnight on Thursday. Europe, along with Canada and Mexico, have been granted a temporary reprieve, but Ross an insufficient progress had been made,
box with three of America's traditional allies, and so we had. We could not reduce America's trade deficit and the waiver was being lifted so right now we are talking about a serious trade war that could impact the economy too. Bad move by president from the reality is the tariffs are not good for the economy or they are as attacks on american citizens. Remember when you artificially boost the price of profit
the Americans have to buy that has de facto tax on american citizens, they can no longer spend their money where they choose to spend their money plus a lot of these companies that are going to end up being tariff to actually hire a lot of people in the United States, like half of a Mercedes Benz, is produced in the United States at plans based in the United States. Some of those cars luxury items will be hit with some of these tariffs. Also, the president of the United States has started a trade war with MAX
oh so now Mexico is threatening its own tariffs again, some of America's products, so a lot of american exports are very unhappy. So today I guess Mexico has announced that it will put its own tariffs on products, including pork, bellies, grapes, apples and flat steel, which sounds like some sort of we're dead, but in any case, Mexico is going to be announcing its own trade barriers. None of this is good policy. The president has benefited from a booming economy, and a lot of that is his own doing. A lot of that is trumps willingness to get rid of regulations. A lot of that is
some willingness to lower taxes. Alot of that is trumps. Willingness to allow the market to operate freely. Engaging in trade wars with some of America's biggest trade partners is not a way to increase the effectiveness of american business. It's just it's a counterproductive move. I know that the president has this bizarre understanding of tat
he believes that trade is a zero sum game, there's always winner in a loser. That is not correct and business is going to suffer because of all that. It's bad policy, however, on the other side of ledger, and if we really do some good from bad from their some bathroom, here's some good from so the President signed what he called right to try legislation so right to try. Legislation has been considered by conservatives for many many years. Basically, the FDA. It takes enormous quantities of time and money get empty approval for a drug. What the reason drugs are so expensive
I would say it is: you have to run through years of FDA approval processes before he can bring a drug market literally millions and millions of dollars. It takes to actually gets market where what happens if your terminally ill person and you want to try an experimental drug well so far, the Democrats have up till now opposed the idea. They should be allowed to try those drugs. They said
FDA has to license every product that is used in the United States. But what about me?
organ die anyway. Why? Why exactly can't they try what they want, and if they want to try some snake oil and it happens to work for them? Why should they be given the option of doing that? That's right! Try legislation was so president from sign that wretched, try, legislation yesterday,
very good move, giving terminally ill patients the right to try experimental lifesaving treatments, and some
these treatments, are so promising. But for many-
his patients, advocates a law makers, have fought for this fundamental freedom.
I said incredibly, they couldn't get it.
And there were reasons, a lot of it was
sell out of it was pharmaceuticals suitable to of it was insurance
lot of always liability and since you take care that stuff
that's what we did today, I'm proud to keep another promise to America
in people as I sign the right to dry
legislation into law. So there's got no press yesterday, but is a very, very good move by the front administration. Again, there is good and there's bad Trump administration, but its foolish to ignore the good or to ignore the bad, where we have to point out whenever any of this
love is happening. Also is worth while noting that, while the press continue to suggest that President Trump and his administration are replete with people who do not care about human beings, this particular piece of legislation is obviously an attempt to
we view the suffering of an enormous number of people who are more stock right, who do have no choice when it comes to what sort of treatment they wish to see it.
That argument for libertarianism, even in areas that the FDA covers that if somebody wants to try a drug, why Shouldn T able they be able to try to drug speaking of people with heart inside the Trump administration. Trope actually had a pretty good day yesterday in
virus demonstrating a certain amount of heart and compassion inside the trouble administration, there is this. This was
the great as you signing this right to try legislation, there's a little kid who, apparently, I believe, has cystic fibrosis. Is that the case with this kid? I can remember what conditions of its really cute little kid and it comes to the signing ceremony and he wants you to hug from throbbing. It's really cute agency, the kid going in for a hog and from his busy.
No noticed the head and he keeps going in trying to get a hug and final seed from notices it.
trembling very, very vague, and then that wasn't the only sign of compassion from the trunk administration. Yesterday Sarah commissioners was asked at the White House Press conference about school should
and you can see this is not the response, as somebody who doesn't care about dead kids, so many people who are anti trumpet suggested one being that many others. Mental health is about the fact that shot
can you tell me what the administration has done and will do prevent defense with strategies as a kid and certainly as a parent? There is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe. So I'm sorry that you feel that way. This administration takes it seriously and the School Safety Commission that the President convened is meeting this week again an official meeting to discuss the best way forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect
kids in our schools and to make them feel safe and make their parents feel good about drop. You know, MA am also clearly is in Venezuela and filled with heartless credence, evil, evil people. So there's not to say that the trumpet ministration doesn't do things that I find terrible at times re or or says things that that I find gross at times mean. Obviously, I've been outspoken about all of that and we'll talk a little bit about the president's response throws hand situation, but this this image that is put out by so many folks on the left
but the Trump Administration is filled with awful terrible people who don't care about kids, just stupid in a second amateur show you the media's response to all of this yesterday, because it truly is astonishing. First donate thanks to our sponsors over exile, so

How does the left respond to every thing happening inside the Trump administration? The only way to express this would be to say in the most vile and despicable possible way. So, instead of dealing with the the issues with the term administration, is that of talking about trade policy, for example, or instead of talking about the right to try legislation or instead of even talking about the stuff, the president from says. Instead, the left has decided they have to outrun Trump. They have to go lower than low. To remember Hillary Clinton.
When they go low, we go high and it didn't work for her, so it seems like they. The left community has decided that, when republicans go medium there
well as low as humanly possible case in point the a case in point of the last twenty four
This is now to be so. Samantha me, as I have said, has been in it
running gun battle with Trevor Noah and end.
Amy any and a bunch of other leftist comedians for most unfunded human in the world. But I think that she clearly takes the cake.
I've always been leaning towards amount. To be honest with you in these sweepstakes, I've always thought. That's man to be was the front runner always thought that she led by at least a head, and it seems that she has drawn fought like she drawing links, ways now its secretary it in the unfolding in the unfunded horse race. Here she has yesterday going after vodka. Trump Yvonne could, from your recall, had the temerity the audacity to twitter picture of herself and one of her children over the weekend.
Because, with moral day weakened- and you have said how dear she take a picture with her kid, because there are people being separated from their kids on the border right now, as we discussed earlier this week, this critique makes no sense whatsoever, like no sense but as in stops man to be so Samantha me
says that not only is of uncle wrong. Take their picture. She is ably Yvonne Trump who works at the White House, just suppose the second most oblivious tweet we ve seen this week. You know a vodka, that's beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say one mother to another: do something
about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless and tell your father, can stop it so much bravery, so much class, so much decency.
This is how you got tromp. This is how you got drunk so in its economic, discuss, more
I have left got Trump hit. Ok, Samantha, me obviously is:
I mean I won't use language that uses here but she's, a very bad person when she said that she is a very bad person. What a vodka from taking a picture with her baby has to do with being called a feckless. Seaward is beyond me and how it Samantha beekeepers are job after that is
on me as well? It seems to me that there are certain language that is so outside the bounds of normal discourse that you'd get fired for it like Roseanne CALL,
Valerie Jordan Ape. It seems to me like that, was a firewall offence and it seems to me, like Samantha, becoming of uncontrolled
reckless seaward for no reason other than she is in trumps orbit and has a child is insane. It is insane
and then you go. She goes on from there, obviously to suggest that the Trump wants to have sex with his own daughter, and there are therefore, if of uncle, where something tight fit.
But you can change immigration policy. The rage of the left, the utter insane responsive, left to everything that Trump does is drew travel more people into present from science like
we may not have to actually do anything to win re election of the West continues to pursue this sort of nonsense. This sort of vile nonsense as another exam
Michaela Angela Davis is a is a race commentator on
Emerson busy, and she says that, in response to the whole Roseanne thing she says, all from voters are racist. Like all of them is a shared CNN, tens of millions of people voted for him after he showed his cards for year for areas that we have recently. I think that their racist or yes began the people about all the people of Europe. A doll shrubbery s may not be named, may not be violently racist. They may not be he's targeted, he's very clear in strategic look, anti blackness is a strategy that has been the found
vision of part of the American Pross project. So it's not just the trumpets races that every single person who support them is races. So here's what we learn from left media in the last twenty four hours if a trump is a feckless seaward, and we learned that if you voted for President Trump, even if you
He cried some of the things that he was saying. This makes you area
Just then they wonder why so many people are rushing to the arms of president Trump. Their wondering
why that's happening the wondering why people don't respect the media. Here's another example
media malfeasance yesterday in their wondering why people don't take the media seriously. Here's a here is one of the CNN reporters going off on president from for hosting a White House sports and Fitness day again. This is a thing that virtually every president, his health did this way.
How sports and fitness they like. I remember- Obama, holding them by now, you're gonna hear commentators suggest that trumps should hold the because he's that the president is having this event here at the White House today highlighting health and fitness. While questions are being raised about the president's own health and fitness as your we're call back in January, the president's doktor came out to the briefing room and, while he told reporters, he believed the president was in good health. He did say that he was six three and two hundred and thirty nine pounds and had set a weight loss goal of ten to fifteen pounds over the coming year. So questions are of how he was going to do that. Their diet and exercise a great deal of irony here today, John, is the president is holding this event. These questions,
about his own weight loss battle that are still going on in the White House, so much journalists being well. I mean that's that is serious journalists being right here, but she was surpassed by german cost of the White House reporter over. It CNN, who legitimately, is an awful
More importantly, GMO Costa is a guy who
these he has some Donaldson and is more like sand, the eagle from from them up its he's, just not good at this. Here's Jamaica at the White House complain about Sarah. How can be sanders because there are commissioners made a point over the last couple of days:
her point about Roseanne was you guys were very, very upset about Roseanne in your happy for her to be fired and maybe she should have been fired, but you don't seem quite happy to talk about joy. Read. For example, which is obviously true- CNN Chimu CASA, here very angry at this, because he has to stand up for the reputation of the media.
When the media start standing for the media and there are no longer standing for the truth. It turns out the most Americans soon them out Jim costs. As the reason most Americans are starting to tuna media. Here is yours accosted going after how can be Sanders for saying something? It is obviously true so bit
I think for the White House Press secretary from the podium to come out here,
try to shame the media and so
It somehow our fault that Roseanne BAR put out this tweet, though that's exactly what? How can these Andrew said? That's bad news
where's bedroom Acosta changes the media's father De Rossa, Unbar put out the tweet. She said. It's the media's father, there's this double standard where joy reed gets to keep her job. Roseanne bar loses her job
In short, it gets to keep her job because she's on the left and Roseanne lose your job because she was programme which is perfectly obvious. Media malfeasance, media nastiness,
This I got from this. How can I get more from so by all
continue to do this by all means continue to think you can out nasty
in Europe. There is no one on earth who can out now see the president of the United States. It ain't gonna work, it just is not going to work and
also, one of the reasons why there is such schadenfreude when it comes to the Obama administration being ousted because they were quietly nasty there quietly sliding in the knife into so many Americans and in Trump is just a hammer, so he's just obviously out of doors hammer hitting people in a second. I want to talk a little bit about the
frightened for that that obviously comes from from President Obama having lost there's an amazing story in New York Times at a piece of audio. I just have to play for you. That's incredible, but first I would say, thanks to our sponsors over express Vps,
there's a lot of noise about social media companies that have been letting third parties get your user data. But the truth is that internet providers of rise in time or they can record a list of every website you visit and they can legal
give it to anyone. The internet is basically the wild West and if you think people aren't mining your data, you are wrong, which is why it's time to stop pressing big corporations with your data and instead start protecting with express Vps with Express bbn. You can privately and securely surf the internet without being tracked by anyone in setting up
All your devices in just a few minutes. I've set it up on my own computer, you set it up any
really it run seamlessly. In the background of your desktop laptop smartphone tablet, it protects me. Well, I'm browsing streaming. Downloading files or emailing seven have to worry about third party eyes on all the stuff
I am doing on the internet, which is good for political people like me, because the fact is,
I don't want people knowing what I'm thinking about politics until I say it right here on the show. I want people,
digging through my emails now than you.
What that either it's my express Bbn is necessary. Using expressly opinion can safely serve public wifi hotspots in Starbucks, just using somebody else's wifi connection to about Starbucks grabbing
zero or feared a hotel or you're an airport frozen seven bucks, a monkey and get the same, Express Bbn protection that I haven't. Every express, Vps plan is covered by a risk free thirty day, money back guarantee every expression experience the freedom and privacy in safety
as Vps can provide you're, not gonna want to use the internet again without itself, go to express Vps outcome, Slash Bent and get your first three months for free and its Express Viviani Ex p r s ass gps, dot com, Slash Ben for
a month for free, don't put it off to a right now and you have to worry about it ever again for seven bucks a month you're protecting your data, Express Vps, dotcom, slash, ban and get your first three months for free when you use that slash man, ok, so one of the things that's been, I think really delicious to watch. Is the west had this perception of itself as beyond serbian decent? They, the right was indecent and the left was so. Do you
and and left her so good and the left was so kind, and they just cannot understand how president from one and its their lack of understanding. Why, president from one that basically guarantees that will have a serious shot, a re election in twenty twenty, despite his ex,
ordinarily low approval ratings. What does not?
then how we mourn understand how we won, because they dont understand themselves. One of the ways that you change your own life, just speaking personally, one of the ways the you change, your own life- is looking at your own flaws and then determining how to fix those laws. So for me, I've had to try to get beyond my own confirmation by since a difficult thing to do to try and look at that. Something you want to believe
determine whether you are right in believing those things for people like me, you know. Sometimes I get condescending, gonna work on that right. There certain things about me as a human being that I have to try to work on all the same thing is true of parties. Parties have to look internally and at what is it that we have to work on? The Democrats never felt they work on anything because they had made basically trumps case against the Democrats. They'd made against Republicans for years,
the case that from makes against the Democrats that they're all bad NATO and they like I'm as thirteen and their mean their cruel and their nasty and they're stupid novice kinda stuff. That's just turn about his fair play. The Democrats of including this for years and two thousand
Tina wrote a book called bullies newer times by seller. Talking specifically about this character tactic that has been used by democrats for years. What, when Trump one suddenly it dawned on the Democrats or should have done on the Democrats, then maybe they should have been so quick about dismissing half the american public. Maybe I should have been so quick about.
Assuming that they were the bringer of light and truth and that everyone who disagreed with them was ill motivated, and so there
delicious about watching members of the Obama administration, trying to cope with the fact that Hillary Clinton loss and watch into Donald Trump, which is again now near
impossible miraculous occurrence this video, this audio of Ben Roads and the former national security adviser to President Obama.
Is just a wishes. This video of Ben Roads, as he is real
since, when documentary he's just realizing the president trunk has won the presidency and it is astonishingly glorious came outside it. Tredah process always thought much process I mean I can't even I mean I can I can. I can put it into words. I don't know that
but it would take a heart of stone not to laugh at that. It's so amazing, so Ben roads is just a garbage cheap arabian Ben roads, the architect of the Iranian he openly brag about lying to the american people and their ears. I can understand why the american public rejected the Obama legacy
Why God, why and then just that the incapacity to speak by a former novelist from Brooklyn Apartment, elevated to a position of unpressed
and power for a guy. Who knows nothing about anything? It's just wonderful! That's not the only wonderful thing. The fact of the democratic will understand. This is why they have a serious shot, a continuing to lose one of the reasons why the generic ballot gap between Republicans and Democrats is now shrunken. You're, nothingness, there's a piece in the New York Times that is, that is from a that is from a report by Peter Baker. About the emotional stages
trusting to President Frumps victory, and it is just wonderful here's what it says: riding in a motorcycle and lemme Peru. Shortly after the twenty sixteen election, President Barack Obama was struggling to understand traditional J trumps victory. What if we were wrong? He asked AIDS riding with him in the armored presidential,
machine. He had read a column, asserting the liberals had forgotten how important identity was to people and had promoted an empty, cosmopolitan globalism that made many people were feel left behind, maybe pushed too far. Mr Obama said. Maybe we'll just want to fall back.
Into their tribe, his aids reassured him. Then he still would have wanted even able to run for another term and the next generation, and
in common with him, then with Mr Trump, Mr Obama, the first black men elected president, did not seem commits. Sometimes I wonder whether I was ten or twenty years twirly. He said this is why you fail. This is why you fail. I love that the level of introspection is not about him, not about his administration.
It's about the evils of the american public. So this american public and elected him overwhelmingly twice suddenly was evil, but nothing of him. It was then there are the bad people he was just too early. Don't you understand? We were given a gift by President Obama, President Obama. He was the gift right. It was just like Blue Box breaking just unwrapped himself and there he was, it was fantastic. President Obama came along and
You have all just been grateful for his very presence in front of us. He was his own. Get you God's gift to meet President Obama's own gift to the
people. It was his own son, presenting himself to us to die on the cross for our sins. This was Barack Obama. This was the man and then what what I love about this so much is that that wine, where he says, maybe we pushed too far, maybe people just want a fall back into their tribe obey
It was a tribal as President President Obama had the opportunity after his election in two thousand eight to bring Americans together, particularly on issues of race. He failed to do it. Not only did he failed to do it, he deliberately decided not to do it and instead to focus on tribal, rising people bipolar patterns right by trying to move people back into their tribes said he could then agglomerate
altogether wrap them into a ball and in this democratic all that was going to roll down hill and crush Republicans. That was his entire electoral strategy still doesn't get it, but it's really delicious to watch him not getting it. He was out of touch President Obama and sober the Democrats, which is why they lost in the weeks after MR trumps election than your times continues. Mr Obama went through multiple emotional stages.
According to a new book by his long term adviser Benjamin rose right out the same guy. You watch they're trying to struggle with the idea that trumpet one it was wonderful, just delicious at times departing President the long view at other points he flashed anger. He called Mr Trumpet cartoon figure who cared more about his crowd sizes that any particular policy. Ok, that is true. It is all
for the brok. Obama cared a lot more about his crowd sizes than any particular policy, which is why he went around Europe immediately after his election. Speaking too
people in saying nearly nothing of substance. He expressed rare self doubt one
whether he had misjudged his own influence on american history set to be published next week by random House.
Two roads memoir the world as it is by the way the fact that Ben Roads called his memoir the world as it is, is just unbelievable. Ben roads is a guy who
legitimately believed believe that IRAN was going to moderate if we gave them hundreds of billions of dollars and then he's right.
While the world as it is, but Dory they're not out of touch not out of touch it all. But apparently his book offers a peak into Mr Obama's tightly sealed inner sanctum from the perspective of one of the few people who saw him up close through
Eight years of his presidency, few moments shook Mr Obama. More than the decision by voters to replace him with a candidate was questioned his very birth. I,
I was even the wording, is just so good as to so that Mr Rohde served and Mr Obama's deputy national security adviser from some of the most consequential points of his presidency, including two
visions to authorize the raid, the killer, sound ballade, I loved, by the way, the Democrats, her soul.
There had on that one every president would have said: go do it. Jimmy Carter would have said, go to send more troops to Afghanistan, pull most troops out of Iraq restored,
medical nations with Cuba, seal a nuclear agreement with IRAN, intervene militarily in Libya and refused to intervene militarily in Syria, but its book offers a new window if only slightly cracked open into the forty fourth president's handling of Russia's intervention in the twenty sixteen elections held Mr Truscott elected and the aftermath and handing over power to someone determined to tear down all he had accomplished. Mr Obama alluded to the godfather move: Mafia movie,
feeling Michael Corleone, I almost got out yes in his own mind, ILO Obama such a tragic figure in his own mind. In his own mind, he was just he was the man he was there. He was
Christ, like figure, come to save America, and then we crucified him on the cross of Trump. Who feels good? I gotta say it did I vote for Trump, but just for their trade and Freud sort. I wish I had. I mean like that. That's it.
And I entered listen. I understand the temptation, the the wee wee Sally leftist years. My great I get it. I get the temptation and doesn't mean that present interim does everything right, but the fact that Barack Obama was so deeply out of touch and that he didn't understand the american people and that here
we believe that by polarizing the american people, he could bring us all together again, and then he felt the impact of president from following him is just great and well deserved, and certainly well deserved for Ben Roses
there's more to the story and I just have to savour every moment of it, but first go over to daily, where common subscribe

this year's hot or cold tumblr for ninety nine dollars year. Yet all of those things it is cheaper than the monthly subscription plus just
What you need to go over to Youtube in Itunes to subscribe, to the show one of the reasons:

Enjoy it. I think it's it's it's real kick Joseph kick in the policies is who areas so check that out? We are the largest fastest growing,
so, replied cast in the nation because this New York Times
peace, it just continues so long and so glorious. On election night, Mr Obama spoke by telephone with Coty Keen and his chief speechwriter, when MR roads to figure out what he should say. Mr roads asked if he should offer reassurance to allies. No, I don't think I'm going to tell them that the President said because, of course
I wouldn't actually say that our allies would be ok. Abide by the way was noon friendly with our allies really comes to Israel and Britain. He was certainly not friendly. The next day Mr Obama focused on ensuring up his despondent staff. At one point, he sent a message to Mr Rohde saying they're more so
cars in the sky than grains of sand on the earth, really that something that he said to bed roads, Barack Obama, there more stars in the sky and grains of sand on the earth. You have got to be kidding me. You ve got to be kidding me. He didn't interview with glows L, he's it another interview, pimp with a limp, their pictures of him
soap stick in the oval office, there are more stars in the sky than grains of sand and they have what a pretentious douche bag days later Obama's
less sanguine? So I don't know, maybe that's what people want I've got the economy set up. Well form, no facts, no consequences. They can just have a country of almost zone sort of cartoon. The fact that people couldn't find humor nobody's just beyond me. Yesterday we talk about Trevor Noah, saying,
Obama was not inherently humorous. Are you kidding me? There's a duties and text messages to people that say things like there are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on the earth, thanks Confucius by what, in that, there is
no humour in him. He added we're about to find out just how resilience our institutions are at home and around the world. The day Mr Obama hosted Mr Trumpet the White House after the election seems surreal, MR from CAT, steering the conversation back to the size.
Noting that he and mister of Amr could draw big crowds. But MRS Clinton could not mr roads rights? Yes, yes, it celebrate ages. I said right after the election there's one picture that really got me right after the election was a picture of Donald Trump visiting the lighthouse sitting next to bereft of our
recall that Barack Obama had set a national television. The term would never be president in a series of means. We too Jimmy Camel and there is Obama looking like he wants to die and from sitting next to him, giving the Trump fingered the camera and behind them is a bust of Abraham Lincoln. Looking down, it is just amazing. I love that truck because here's the thing I have said many times Trump is Obama unmasked, deep down. Obama's ego is trumps. Ego all talk about crowd, size, Barack Obama, deity,
his original Dnc, except in speech in two thousand eight on a stage with greek columns and missed coming off the floor in the stadium filled with forty thousand people, you'd think Obama in care about his crowd. Size dude could not stay off tv, the guy, wouldn't he wouldn't listen all start gave you wouldn't miss in an empty Doubleday Bracket challenge right. The guy was Anti
all the time trump is just. The vulgar version of Obama in terms of personality is doing
in time in terms of policy here the fact that Obama couldn't see that it himself is again what
the reasons he was so out of touch you sort of touch this guy's, but quote
fake psalms, they makes up himself afterward. Mr Obama called a few aids to the oval office to ruminate on the encounter I'm trying to play some in american history. He said he pedals bull. Mr Roche answer that characterise always been part of the american story. You conceive right back to some of the characters and huckleberry fin. Maybe Mr Obama answer that's the best. We can hope for us. So sad. So sad, Boeing, talkative people pedal bull Brok about moves in the Senate for five minutes before he ran for president and he gave the most bs speech at the Dnc in two thousand, for I had heard at that time right the whole we're not read states and most of all the United States that I just I love. That Trump is the bizarre he's like this.
Superman, like Obama, sees himself Superman and Trump is just Pizarro Superman, where everything he says is kind of backwards and is just the weird version of Obama. Like one Obama looks into funhouse, mirror he's gotta see Trump and it must haunches nightmares and he deserves every second of that
it is so grand and it is so great now, speaking of so grand and so great, I have to tell you the story. It is so good jolts time new member just time she was the West's great hope she was the great hope she was going to provide that counter to Hillary Clinton. Shortly after the twenty six years,
According to the daily beast Stein raised more than seven million dollars from Shall shot liberals eager to pursue a swing state recount nearly two years later, the Green Party last
candidate, for president is still spending that money on go
litigation, travel costs and staff salaries are also likely that whatever is left,
those who donated to sign are unlikely to receive a ones promise chance to vote on how the post recap money would be spent. Nor of donors been given much will window.
How Stein is actually spending their donations, the last fm she filing from this time campaign was for the month of September, two thousand seventeen and the last update from the campaign itself came on a post egg interposed on aid.
Twentieth, in which it said it was down to about a million dollars in recount funds, so that ever actually,
many of the recounting nope they spend on staff salaries and vacations yep used in get scammed at all, really stands for, and that raises clearly Donald Trump, not Goldstein, not Hillary Clinton men. Sometimes politics is great. Now speaking, one politics is not
right. We have to talk about spy gates of the President of the United States, decided to tweet. Tonight,
because today is a day ending in why so he decided that he was going to tweet about spy gates migrate, as you recall, is this allegation that the FBI was at the behest of the Obama administration. Looking into the looking into the Trump campaign, there are targeting the trunks
pain because they wanted to essentially falsify information about collusion between President Trump and the Russians and then use that as a club against him the election cycle. Now I've always had a few questions about this question number one. Why exactly wouldn't their release the information if they had a question of or to the only people that they targeted inside the campaign where people who basically have been charged at this point than ever targeted from junior than ever targeted president trump himself in ever targeted Steve Ban and they never target a bunch of people who are not members of the term campaign? It was only man afford and gates and Papadopoulos and Carter, page re, all people with serious, suspicious histories, and then third question is always the biggest, which is at all. This really happened. Why doesn't trump just classify it, but if the F B, I really was going after twelve at the behest of the Obama administration trumps, the president, he Guinea classify the stuff at any time. Part of the reason that I don't buy. This story is because the president tweets things that are sometimes just not true, so here's the thing they retreated. That was just not true today, he said the corrupt mainstream media is working overtime, not to mention the infiltration of people spies into my campaign.
Surveillance. Much ok, that's somewhat fair! Here's the part, that's not fair, not that it matters, but I never fired James call me because of Russia. The corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing a narrative, but they know it is not true. He literally went unless our holds show on national television on NBC and said he fired Jens Holm
because of Russia. He then went into a room with the ambassador to Russia from Russia. Sorry, a kiss lack and told him that he fire gems called me because of Russia. Now I dont think that fire gems coming because companies about to uncover russian collusion. I think fire gems call me because he was frustrated that call me was not announcing publicly that he hadn't you didn't, have the goods on top of our agenda
but we want from says you didn't fire gems call me because of Russia. He literally said on national television,
he'll literally said that a national television diversions coming because Russia, so now I just I don't I don't buy that by those being the people don't buy. A tray gotti, who it it's really funny to me. Tribal tribalism is, is a hell of a drug and trig out. If you recall was considered one of the staunchest most aggressive Republicans in Congress he's retiring now, he,
was on the the absolute the House Oversight Committee and remembering the Benghazi hearings you shall lacking the Obama administration over and over and over is thus prosecutor. They had on the oversight. Committee is a very strong republican and he sat on Fox NEWS that the FBI was not out to get the corn courtroom campaign
the middle of the election cycle. Here's what he had to say in the backlash was fierce. It was present tromp himself, who said no one. I didn't collude with Russia, but if any
in connection with my campaign. Did I want the FBI to find that out? It looks to me like
The F B, I was doin what President Tromp said. I want you to do, find it out he's not the target. So when shift and others not make that clear, they're doing a disservice to our fellow citizens, I am, I am even more convinced that the
B. I did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got and that it has nothing
there were Donald Trump. Ok, so what he says year is two things. One of them is that the FBI was not investigating Donald Trump and the other is that the FBI we are investigating the Trump campaign now there's a case to be made under Mccarthy makes it today that the
campaign was basically under investigation. I don't agree then, or Mccarthy's case, I tend to agree with trade gouty, but what's happened because trade Gouty said something here:
not allowed to say now, which is that President Trump is over blowing this case. A lot of folks have been all over trig out. He shown how, for example, attack trig out he on Fox NEWS and suggested that trade gaddi had now been. Co opted for some reason. They there's. This suggestion be made the trick out. He has been collected by the deep state or the trick out. He is now running interference for Democrats and for the FBI.
Again trig out here. I believe he may be wrong, but to question his motivations here, I think, is really beyond the pale again when the evidence shows that the FBI was directed by President Obama or even hinted at by President Obama to target the trunk campaign, not just people within the term campaign that from campaign itself, when we understand why
from hasn't classed by them. Is Europe when we understand why the F B, I didn't released the material that I'm happy to go, but the spigot stuff. Until then, I'm gonna have to withhold judgment. Just as a lawyer, I would have to withhold judgment, and I don't what's wrong with that. I think with
the judgment might be the best thing you can do when the evidence is not yet out. Ok time for some things I like and then some things that I hate so things I like
I do enjoy reading about the about human psychology and the natural. Then
natural limitations that human beings have, as I said earlier in the show- I think it's a very important thing- that the things very important thing that the UK, the human beings they want to change, actually spend some time looking into their own limitations or as a great book by Pablo Psychiatry is psychologist. I believe it at Yale University. It's called just babies, the origins of good,
evil, and it basically explains that human beings are not blank slate right. We are born with a bunch of inherent limitations that we have to work to overcome. These limitations to include discrimination and violence are, they do include cognitive, biases and
important for everybody know about these things so that you in your own life can overcome them and he can educate children better to overcome them again. The book is called just babies, the origin of good and evil. It's like it's it's a short book in a very easy read,
It is really funded as well, and I ll give you some information that that puts to death. Why, then, that the left is told for literally generations
things are infinitely malleable. If only we change our social constructs, the idea that
Ways can become girls. Girls can become boys in our growth of the idea that the human brain is intensely plastic, so plastic that it has no actual features. That's not true. It never
drew in human history. It is not true and problem. Sorter puts that's bad in just babies, the origins of good and evil. Ok time for some things that I hate
Yesterday's I mentioned president from met can
our action in the oval office, and I question whether this was a worthwhile thing to do, because I think that linking yourself,
Celebrities is generally a waste of time and counterproductive. I dont think celebrities generally have important things to say on topics outside of outside of their purview. That's say they can't raise. Money for charity is not to say they can have their causes, but I dont know why politicians should take the word of celebrities add as as more important than anybody also
if problems to top prison reform in sentencing. It seems to me that he in- and he thinks that came carnation is somebody should talk to. It seems to me that you should talk to him. Carnation have come carnation recommended actual expert on prison reform in sentencing. Have that person come into the White House and then you can talk about it, but this whole photo up nonsense, which is that it then start Trump. Obviously, Obama do all the time. It is nonsense. Now, of course, what ironic about all of this is that, speaking of philosophical consistency, a bunch people on the right will say no, no, it's good can carnation coming in its great because she's trying to do the right thing again, I'm not questioning him carnations motives. I am questioning the the usefulness and the and whether it is good for the country, tat politicians doing these photo obsolete celebrities as though the celebrities know what the hell they are talking about. In many of these cases- and I remember that there was a guy named Donald Trump- we used to be a sort of upset about this kind of stuff right from peace to rip. Hillary Clinton over her, so
nations, with Jason, for example, why she filled up the arena was to get J G and his language. We're so filthy that it made me like the most clean cut union being honour. Ok, that's a fair criticism, but then you can go round talking about. While I conjure you should come the White House only just then the hypocrisy is a little bit more
For me, I have a consistent stand on this. I do not think celebrities know things as general rule if they do no things. One thing from wants me: friends of people, that's fine, but the photo ops. The attempt to use celebrity as a myth,
of power, maintenance and american politics? I hated it. What Obama did I hated it when Hillary Clinton did it? I dont like them present trumped. Does it I just as consistent as can be on
and I can't say the same about a lot of other people on the right who, just at while you no longer trump doing it, is totally find but get used to that after all these years. Ok time for a quick, quick Bible verse, so we ve been going chapter by chapter through the books following the five books of Moses, and this is from the chapter three.
Book of Joshua, so Josh was about to invade the land and says early in the morning, Josh when all the Israelites it out from she team and went to the Jordan where they can't before crossing over after three days the officers went through at the camp in the orders to the people. Let me see the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, your God
political priests carrying at your move out from your positions and forward. Then you will know which way to go.
And you ve never been this way before, but keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the Ark do not go near. It. Joshua told the people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow,
warble, do amazing things among you. It's that first, I want to talk about a little bit and need the idea they have to consecrate yourselves, because tomorrow Laurel do amazing things among you. If you are told
today. That God was gonna. Do something amazing for you? Would you go out and consecrate yourself orange think? Well, let's an uncharted guaranteed rewards already guaranteed toward I go out in consecrate myself when I go out,
myself make sure that I am as clean as can be or what I just rely,
on the mercy of the Lord is my feeling that this verse hasn't serious importance, because the idea is not that you're trying to buy
I've got to do things for your religion is not about buying off guard. To do things where you got is not a gumbo machine. What, God is, is is a being that is infinitely kind and merciful and ingratitude for that. We have to constantly in the process of cars,
crating, our selves, guys gonna, do what he's going to do and I'm not. I don't believe that your own points with God in this life, simply by doing that things are looking at. You do good things. Then God is nice. You again. God is not your your candy machine, but it is your job to be grateful for the things they God does. Give you, including a predictable universe in which, if you play by the rules than than good things, happen to you, it is our job to consecrate our selves and not to worry about what God is going to do for us, because what God is going to do for us has almost no like if people are not consecrated themselves, accordingly, Joshua God. So what is the right thing? It is our job to be grateful for those grating
and therefore to spend our time, making ourselves more virtuous human beings. Ok, we'll be back here tomorrow with the mail bag and then prepare this adventure Barroso.
