eds to decide. This is a big problem. I don't know if this judge quite realized what kind of implications this might have. And I also don't know if this counts as precedent. So if there's somebody here who actually has some legal knowledge that would be very helpful. And I don't know if precedent always means the same thing. You know, maybe there's weak precedent and strong precedent. All right.…

So what do you think? What do you think of the analogy? They do want to force people to be their religion. That seems true. Except they haven't enforced it. The Jewish people who live in Iran, they haven't forced them to convert. So I think the bigger crime is if you're ever a Muslim and you try to get out of it then you're in big trouble. But they don't seem to be forcing people into it, at least not directly. Maybe indirectly. There's enough bullying that's going to happen.
Well here's the point. You either have to rebuke Lindsey Graham and say that's too far or you gotta treat it like it's an actual Hitler problem and we would have to be a lot tougher on them. So I think we're gonna see Biden become Trump on Iran one way or another. He's going to have to get tougher. I think that's just built into the system. It's going to happen.
Well President Trump had a good time knocking CNN for their failed ratings. Their ratings of course have collapsed exactly because Trump is not in the news now. The CNN people have tried to put on a good face and say, as Don Lemon did, oh I'm actually happy that my ratings have collapsed because it means that there's no Trump in the world to get us all worked up and do bad things. And so Don Lemon says he would much rather be a failed person on TV and have his career turned to dust than to have a President Trump who was ruining the country according to him.
I'm not sure I find that totally sincere. But I'd like to point out a few things about this story. So apparently Jake Tapper became part of the story because he tweeted back at the president. And reportedly Jake Tapper has lost 75 percent of his audience since January. And here's what Jake Tapper said about the president mocking their ratings. He said, quote, "If I had incited and inspired a deadly insurrection and attempt to undo American democracy I might not be out there bragging about how many viewers I had on any channel. But maybe that's just me. I'm a different breed of cat," Tapper wrote.
Well here's the thing. Even Fox News in their coverage of this, they referred to Jake Tapper. So this is just — listen to the source. This is Fox News on their website. They say that Jake Tapper is widely considered the most professional journalist on CNN. So Jake's the most professional journalist on CNN. So is that true? Because I've often said that everyone on CNN is a version of Jake Tapper. Have you ever heard me say that?
If you look at Fox News every personality is pretty distinct. There's not really a second Hannity, right? You know there's nobody like Gutfeld. Tucker, completely

his own person. Laura Ingraham. You know all of them are just unique personalities. But on CNN it looks like everybody's a version of Jake Tapper. You've got gay Jake Tapper, Black Jake Tapper, female Jake Tapper. But they're all like a Jake Tapper-ish. But apparently at least Fox News is saying that Jake Tapper is the most professional journalist on CNN. Well Jake Tapper just mentioned a deadly…
