Good afternoon, everybody. We shall get the proceedings underway. When barack obama was first elected president of the United States, he was riding a swell of hope however illusory that hope may have been been across the country that our first black or at least halfblack president would usher in an era of postracial harmony. Seven years later, i think we all know how well that turned out. Obama has healed the racial divide about as successfully as his promised healing of the oceans. Racial unrest in this country has gone from a tense simmer to a raging boil.

In fact, what has exacerbated Race Relations in the United States is the inherent racism and grievance mongering of the left
My future and success but i will not tell you what to do. It is just me. This may tick off some people but i am just in the camp that says you do what you want with your body. It is fairly libertarian, too. Libertarian i thought was an interesting concept. I wish it would grow. I think it would bring in more young people where it is not as cut is dry as the far right conservative ideas. I like it a little but i like the core values and those are the core values i stick to here. One more . Right behind her. Thank you. I am a huge fox news fan and i watch it all of the time. But i never here and there could be a legal reason for this but never hear anyone talk about the possibility of president obama being impeached . The ship has sailed. He is just biting his time.

Can we give tony a hand for cashi
Term i gave and the goal of the state was to project an off the rail 9 11 and has failed to really do that. I call it rogue justice because it is out of control, it is outside the bounds of the law and seems like a rogue elelement compared to what we are expecting and used to. Host there is a lot of vivid themes into the book. I know you loved going to court and watching all of these proceedings especially when it comes to terrorist. Why did you include them in the book . Why do you focus so much on National Security courts versus other courts . Guest the book is about what happened in the realm of National Security. There have been people that proposed National Security courts but i wanted to see what goes on inside the courtroom because that is where the issues of guilt and innocence and the power of the law are most clearly shown and demonstrated. It is actually fascinating to watch the difficulties that courts have with National Security cases. That is why i wanted to go. We cant t
Who could gamble daily on the horses for nothing in new york. He was so deep with the bookies that they would always stake them in hopes that a long shot came galloping home and they could take his winnings. But he had the gift of gab.

One more question, please. Everything i read about lynn or saw on twitter it seems like the pace is nonstop. In one part of the book someone asked him are you ever going to slow down you write like you are running out of time and he said i am. Do you share that same work ethic or was it hard to keep up with his pace as you were working with someone who literally never stops . We do kind of share the same work ethic. We didnt have choice. We had a deadline they set and had to keep turning out words as fast as we could. But you know, he is a very special man. The speed of his brain. It comes out when he was free flowing. He is funny and comes up with things moving. You have to be on your toes but he is a friend and that is one of the things i love about the guy. It never stops.
