hit twitter with this response. hey donald, i have a great idea. why don t we switch jobs, you take over tv because you re such an expert in ratings, and i take over your job and then people can finally sleep comfortably again. wow. everyone s laughing. it is funny. good zinger. that happened. you ve been at prayer breakfasts was this a first? yes. okay we ll be right back. no. no question. that was obviously meant in jest. let s just, it was meant as a joke. but it is definitely traditionally more of a sacred kind of event where you don t make jokes like that. it was in part because the executive producer who is a very religious man mark burnett
to the oval office? worked on the campaign trail. i thought today was funny. been to plenty of prayer breakfasts. actually felt like arnold was in on the joke whenever he responded to it. does it translate we re just he s just combusted how we think of the white house and how you behave there. and it s not like people didn t understand that s what they were voting for. knew he was going to be different. bringing something different. that is a large part of why they voted for him. and by the way, part of it is pulling the curtain back, don t you think? absolutely. richard nixon, hell would have been a low level word for nixon. used four letter words all the time. harry truman. but not to chaplain or in public. he s behaving publicly the way a lot of other presidents behave
president trump whether speaking and black history month, prayer breakfasts the things seem to turnarounds his understanding of the world, but the dignity of the office suchgggests that thes a distance between his own personal investment and which he speaks, so praying for the ratings of the apprentice is tongue and cheek but there are so many other things at stake that this is not being the most serious person lacking a kind of gravitas only enforces that this president is disconnected a bit but just not able the dig deep and connect with people at a substantial level. i want to talk about his black history month event yesterday. here is some sound from that. well, this is black history month, so this is our little breakfast, little get together.
champion. he must be able to stand up to his boss, the president of the united states, and say, no, you re wrong. what you re doing is illegal. you can t do it. and i want to judge and assess whether jeff sessions is going to be the champion of civil rights liberties that i think is so important. what s it like having a sitting member of the senate sit before you as the witness? you guys, after all, have to share hallways and elevators and little train cars on the senate subway underground. senator booker, for example, is testifying against senator sessions in. in a small club of 100, it must be getting pretty tight. we interact with each other daily, sometimes hourly, but also we have histories with each other. we have worked out together at the gym or attended prayer breakfasts or traveled, as i ve done with senator sessions, all of those activities. but this judgment has to be on the merits of this individual.
and greeting of peace for muslimj5 communities in my country. islam is not part of the problem in combatting violent extremism, it is an important part of promoting peace. our enemies respect no religious freedom, al qaeda s cause is not islam it is a gross distortion of islam. isil is not islamic. no religion condones killing of innocents, vast majority of isil s victims have been muslim. we reaffirmed again and again the united states is not now nor ever will be at war with islam. islam teaches peace. dr. jeffers, as you listen to the president his comments about islam and compare to comments about christianity, what do you conclude? i conclude the president has a serious addiction problem. he is addicted to bashing conservative christians and seems like the prayer breakfasts
