can't say her name right. And they've already come down on the point that if you can't say her name right you're probably a racist or a sexist. But it turns out that one of her big supporters, Bruce Springsteen, also known as The Boss, calls her "Kala." So do at least half of the black supporters that anybody talks to on the street. As do maybe 25 percent of one of the supporters of hers that show…

, but am I wrong that that was the mistake of the week? Can we conclude that Trump wins today's competition? Now I think the bar was last night and Madison Square Garden will be today, but that's a bad 24 hours. The only thing I remember is she was drinking and cackling. And that Beyoncé came. Beyoncé had to be paid a huge amount to endorse her and didn't sing and made everybody mad because they thought Beyoncé was going to sing. And then Michelle Obama shows up. And what was wrong with Michelle Obama? Did she have an allergy? Did she just get done doing lines of coke? What was wrong with her? There's something wrong with her but I don't know what it was. I mean it could just be health related. But she gets up and she tells women to, she says women have every right to demand the men in our lives do better by us. That's exactly what you didn't need. You didn't really need screechy Michelle Obama to be added to screechy Kamala to be added to screechy Hillary Clinton to tell us that all the screechy women think men suck. We get it. We get it.

If you're chasing away, you can't be mad when they leave."

You know, I feel like they were mad when I left because I kind of said the same thing when I got cancelled. I kind of said that if you're going to say all white people are racist, then I don't want to have any association with you. And I got cancelled worldwide. Interesting fact: in the depth of my cancellation there were some people who supported me, some privately, some publicly. Do you know one of

the people who supported me privately? Van Jones. He actually called me and said what the hell is this all about? And then I told him and he listened. Wished I had not worded it that way. Was not supportive of my message whatsoever, just to be clear. He was not supportive of what I said, but he was supportive of me personally and said in direct language, I don't think you're racist, but didn't lov…
