So I note that there's a group of child protesters who are protesting, I guess they're going to Mitch McConnell's office and protesting. And you know that they already protested with Dianne Feinstein. That didn't work out so well for them. And so the question I ask myself is, have the Democrats decided to use children to make their argument now? I don't want to make the obvious joke that AOC is 29…
← Previous segment →Now there was a hilarious but possibly shocking poll that we just saw go around. David Axelrod sent a poll around and I tweeted it, in which the priorities of the country were ranked. Of course stuff with the economy and healthcare and stuff were up toward the top, but way down at the bottom of the list of priorities, second from the bottom, was climate change. After all that's been said and done about climate change, it's at the very bottom of the list of priorities. Now I wouldn't make too much out of that because it doesn't mean it's not a problem. It just means people have ranked it low. And that could be an artifact of the fact that half of the country thinks it's literally a nothing. So if you took any of those items on the list that people say are a big problem and half of the country said, well it doesn't even exist as a problem, it would rank at the bottom. So for example if half of the country didn't care about the economy, then no matter how much half of the other half cared about it, it would still be at the bottom because half the country doesn't care about it at all. So being at the bottom of the priorities is not an indication that the public doesn't care about it. That's a false interpretation in my opinion. It's an indication that half of the country doesn't even think it exists as a problem. And half of the country, and these are rough numbers, you know maybe it's 30 percent, maybe it's 40 percent, maybe it's 50, and then another big chunk of the country thinks it's the worst problem in the world. But since the poll question presumably did not capture the, let's say, the degree of caring, meaning that if half the country say it's irrelevant and half the country say it's the biggest problem in the universe, it's still going to get rated as not much of a problem because half of the people said it wasn't anything. So that was a little bit misleading poll but interesting to see where it ranks.

All right, so we're watching CNN and the anti-Trumpers in general open what I call the portal to fake news hell. And that's in the form of primarily Michael Cohen. He's sort of the first demon out of the portal to fake news hell. And they have to work hard to come up with something because the president's got such a strong hand this week. First of all, whenever the president goes overseas, good th…
