visits to the white house. last night, sarah palin, kid rock, ted nugent, there they are. nugent called for president obama and hillary clinton to be tried for treason and hung. by the way, the correct thing is hanged, over benghazi. in 2014, he was also recorded calling obama a sub human mongrel. now these guys are being rewarded. i used to think when you went to the white house, you showed a little respect and actually reverence for the place. look at these clowns, including the former governor of is this just come on by, we re going to enjoy the fact that we won, they lost. look, president trump is loyal to the ones who brought him to the dance. sarah palin was an endorser. i m not sure about ted nugent. great guitar player but also known for making racist statements. he s kind of a jackass. i m not sure why you would have the guy over at the white house with the former governor of alaska. three jackasses. thank you so much. up next, the hardball
