He quoted Clint Eastwood from unforgiven jon yes Clint Eastwood. Hes a leader unlike the president of our white house. I dont know what its going to take to get the president involved. We crave that in the United States. Can we just point out the difference between president obama and the king of jordan . Who do you think is tougher against isis . Is it King Abdullah or president obama . For me, the answer is obvious. Jon me too after isis killed an american, obama quoted this Clint Eastwood movie. Eastwood do you think what happened just happened to anyone, what we feel, what we feel for each other . Jon ultimately, what the right is saying is why cant obama be more like this powerful muslim king . Which is weird applause because, if i may say, thats also been their biggest complaint about obama the president act

I dont think i will miss being on television every day. I will miss coming here every day. Its hard to describe exactly what happened yesterday evening in terms of
