t legal? Does anybody have any idea why that's legal? I can't think of any reason why that should be legal if we can't do it in their country. Now if they opened up and said hey let's just make it the same, you can do whatever we do there you can do here, but that's not going to happen. If we can't do business in their country they should not be able to do business in our country. They should be…

It just seems stupid.

Are you having the same impression I have with Joe Biden's spokesperson Jen? Here's my take on her. Day one, oh she seems pretty capable. You know she seems bright and looked like a perfect choice for the job really. I thought it was a good choice although I feel like they should have chosen a woman of color. But you know she looked very capable and qualified and she had a good background and etc.

But as time goes by, do you know some personalities, the more you see them the less you like them. But there are others, the more you see them the more you like them. You know some people don't, they don't wear well if you know what I mean. There's something about Jen Psaki who is let's say whatever is the opposite of Dana Perino. I'll just pick her as my example. The more you see of Dana Perino who had been spokesperson under Bush, the more you see of her the more you like her. She just has one of those personalities. The more you see the more you like. That's why she's you know has a lot of time on Fox News. The public likes seeing her.

But the more I see of Jen, and this has nothing to do with being a Democrat, has nothing to do with being a woman, right? So if you're looking for any isms I don't think it has anything to do with any of that. She just has a personality that the more you see of it the less you like it. Am I right? And the reason I use Dana Perino as my opposite example is because she doesn't have that. And I would say Kayleigh McEnany even if you hated how she treated the press she's also one of those personalities where the more you see of her the more you like her. And that's just not true of everybody. The more you see of Adam Schiff the less you like him, right?

Now could it be that I'm being biased simply by political leanings and I'm thinking to myself no I'm just agreeing with people I want to agree with and I'm just having some bias about people who might have a different opinion from me? Could be. I mean it might be that that's all that's happening here. But I put the question out to you. It seems like there's something about her that a little bit lasts a long time if you know what I mean. Are you, is anybody getting that same vibe? Very capable, very smart, but a little bit of her goes a long way. And I don't know if that's going to be a factor going forward.

But the story related to this is that when she was asked whether they're going to see Joe Biden some more for these press

conferences and she only answered cleverly, oh are you eager to see him is that what you're saying? And the reporter said sure. And then she didn't answer the question. Don't you think it's going to be more and more of a story the longer Biden goes without opening himself up to unfriendly questions? Because the whole point of these presidential press conference things is that it opens you up to un…
