amazing. thanks for being with us. let not your heart be troubled. news continues but we will never be the destroyed trump media. we will always be fair and balanced. we have a very important show tomorrow. laura ingraham is in washington, d.c. did everybody vote on the picture? i like the pigtails. if we would have gone to school together, i probably would have been causing trouble. fight. you would've pulled my pigtails and i would've thrown you off the jungle gym, that would have been the end. you would have never done that again. >> sean: are not going anywhere near it. you are in new york tonight. >> laura: i get nothing here. no coffee, no cupcakes. >> sean: seriously, i've been her 23 years. you've been here 12. i should get the whatever cake. >> laura: by the way, sean, you were doing the thing with pelosi. everything is armageddon with her. everything is armageddon. >> sean: listen to me, you

were going to die. >> laura: we are all going to die, graham is going to go off a cliff. but i've got to sit -- look at it this way, i always think it's a good nancy pelosi moment when there's a subject, verb and direct object in the sentence. that for me is a good night. i think we should be very charitable about nancy. >> sean: i'm not responsible for what laura ingraham says, i'm out. >> laura: have a good night. good evening from new york. welcome to "the ingraham angle"" explosive and exclusive new information will put further pressure on special prosecutor bob mueller to resign. that's the focus of tonight's angle. last night we brought you a disturbing and revealing report about fbi investigator peter strzok, who was relieved of his duties in the mueller office after it was revealed that he texted anti-trump messages during the 2016 presidential debate. previously strzok had been a top

investigator on the hillary clinton email probe and was responsible for watering down the language. then-fbi director comey use to e mrs. clinton's handling of classified information on her private email server, isn't that neat. the original language called her "grossly negligent," which by the way can be a criminal violation of the applicable statute. but it was changed by strzok to merely "extremely careless." once again hillary ends up skating for conduct that would have put any of us behind bars. struck with kind of a forest gump of the fbi but without any of the endearing qualities. why do i say that? he was present during hillary's one and only interview with the fbi. he was an agent who interviewed hillary's longtime aids, houma abedin and cheryl mills. and then he helped grill former national security advisor michael flynn on january 24th. so i have a question, what the heck was strzok's magic touch?

why have all of the hundreds of lawyers in the fbi, was he always so lucky to get these assignments? i think we all know why. as a weird aside to this whole fiasco, if you go to strzok's wikipedia page, it reads that the website is considering his whole page for deletion. that's a bit odd, don't you think? as far as the media go, they spent the day either ignoring or downplaying strzok's conflict of interest. >> mr. strzok, this fbi agent in charge, it doesn't change anything, the one that has been removed from the investigation. it doesn't change anything. >> the notion that fbi agents are people who work on behalf of the government aren't supposed to have any political feelings or any political biases, that's a little bit of an overstatement right there. >> there is politicization here. but this is the president continuing to go after american

law enforcement. >> laura: i have a question, will the media be able to downplay all of mueller's other tainted investigators? the conflicts in the mueller shop don't stop with strzok. according to documents obtained by judicial watch, former head of doj's criminal fraud division andrew weissmann emailed acting attorney general sally yates praising her for refusing to enforce trump's propped on my travel ban in court. on january 30th, shortly after trump fired her, he wrote i'm so proud and in all. thank you so much. all of my deepest respect, andrew weissmann. isn't that sweet? so naturally when the time came to choose his deputy, special counsel mueller chose wiseman, who was also his former partner at the law firm wilmer cutler. think about it. weissmann chosen to be the number two guy on an

investigation that could lead to the impeachment of the president of the united states given those statements. when he was on the record the liberating dates. if she was an instant hero of the left because she refused to enforce that same president's lawful executive order. my friends, we are talking willful defiance of the chief executive officer of the united states. pahrump is their boss. it is simple, folks. weissmann must be removed from the mueller team because of the apparent and real conflict of interest his presence represents. and finally, our exclusive report on yet another mueller prosecutor who is compromised. this time because of her alliances to the obama white house. meet jeannie. she was hired by mueller in early june and also a part of weissmann and also of mueller's old law firm wilmer cutler. previously she was a deputy assistant ag in the office of

legal counsel. for obama, that meant she gave official legal advice to the obama white house on policy. but that's not even the most interesting part of the story. we've learned exclusively from sources on capitol hill that just weeks before joining the special prosecutor's team she was the personal attorney of former deputy obama national security advisor ben rhodes and was in fact his point of contact with the house intel committee in its investigation into russia. she didn't actually appear with roads at a closed-door interview last spring, but that was only because by then she was artie working with mueller. and did i forget to mention that she also represented the clinton foundation and donated about $9,000 to hillary and her fellow democrats? once again, another member of the mueller team has been exposed for brazen partisanship,

which at the very least, very least, represents the appearance of a conflict of interest if not an actual one. space it, what we are seeing here is a pattern and practice of mueller hiring known clinton and obama political insiders and posters, supporters, to undo a presidential election. that was the election of donald trump. what's the common denominator of the three amigos here? they all hate trump. but more than that, they are political adversaries. given the gravity of the situation, given all that is at stake for america, robert mueller needed to assemble a team of unassailable professionals. they needed to run that investigation professionally and without any question. instead, as we are documenting night after night, what mueller did, he hired a pedigree team of obvious partisans, a revolving

door from working for a little dull my political opponents of trump to working on the investigation into trump and his supposed russian ties. what a total travesty. they should all step aside. they should all go back to their old law firm, their old buddies there, including bob mueller. and that's the angle. joining us now for reaction in raleigh, north carolina,'s weisberg, number two attorney on the bill clinton whitewater investigation and in washington, democratic strategist richard. let's start with you, saul. i had fairly harsh words tonight after we learned more about her association, her past association with ben rhodes, the personal attorney for rhodes, representing him in the contacts with the house intel committee. obviously andrew weissmann, peter strzok, the list seems to go on and on, every day we learn more, what's your take? >> i don't believe mueller

should resign. i don't think there's a case for him resigning yet, but i'm very concerned about the strzok situation. he never should have been picked to be the fbi lead agent on that investigation because number one as you pointed out, there's a conflict of interest since he was the lead agent working on the hillary email investigation, and don't forget this, he's a witness now too. there's an investigation of the hillary email server and there are congressional investigations. don't have to jump in here. mueller is supposed to be -- we will play this montage in a moment for richard as well. this guy of unassailable character, is the best of the best to do this investigation. we have three ranked partisans working on this investigation, it's not that they are just democrats, that's fine.

but they were actively working for political opponents of president trump and apparently there is issue with mueller to actually reveal this to the public. we have to find it out through our reporting on capitol hill. >> how do you know that strzok was working for his opponents? have a real problem with strzok being on the case because of conflicts of interest. i have a real problem -- i just heard the stuff today about her and i'm blown away by that. i think that's very disturbing. >> laura: strzok was sending texts to his i guess mistress back during the debates, who also worked on the investigation we understand. >> that was really dumb. but you know and i know, go ahead. you know and i know -- >> laura: let me just say, here's the problem. this is not a run-of-the-mill investigation. richard i want you to get on this. don't be exasperated, you get plenty of time, i've known you

forever, i never shortchange you. this has to be an unassailable team. this cannot be a team of political adversaries of the president. that doesn't sit well with people and it casts doubt on the integrity of the investigation, the appearance of a political conflict of interest, your response. >> this is not james carville running this investigation. bob mueller was picked by reagan, bush one and bush to from very important federal law enforcement decisions. andrew weissmann took on my gambino and camino families and the enron prosecution. this is the kind of guy we want. and incidentally if you and people watching her think that donald trump did nothing wrong, this is exactly the kind of team headed by mueller that you should want to stay there and as far as this -- incidentally, i worked at wilmer cutler. i left before they were there. if we are going to somehow impute every lawyer what their client may or may not have done,

then ben rhodes could be interviewed by the house. unless every lawyer, laura, was hired by mueller worked for the federalist society, i doubt you would be happy. i doubt it. >> laura: that's not what you're talking about. you can jump in. >> one second. one second, please. listen, neil gorsuch made contributions to the republican national committee. his contributions to republican candidates. >> laura: richard. guys, one at a time, it's not going to work. this is how it would go down if the shoe were on the other foot. if we had a fact pattern involving a democrat being investigated like hillary clinton on the email server with a republican with these types of text messages and representation, the left would be raising holy hell about it

and i would say maybe for good reason because you cannot have a big special prosecution as we are seeing right now with a gaggle of partisans who are adversaries working weather for the clinton foundation, working for ben rhodes, working for all these different people. >> he was removed immediately. >> laura: what about weissmann? they are both working for the investigation. >> you haven't made a case for weissmann being unqualified. or having a conflict of interes interest. >> laura: you want me to lay it out for you? >> the genie thing is significant. it's extremely significant and mueller should have known better and he should have known better not to have this guy's head the investigation. >> listen to me, don't filibuster. i've got news for you. listen to me. >> laura: one of the time. >> i'm not a potted plant. >> let richard get in. >> by two to one the american

public thinks donald trump is dishonest, reckless and not stable. if there happens to be somebody who works for mueller who shares the view that donald trump is not a peachy guy, guess what, like two-thirds of the public. it's rich to say -- one second. >> i don't have a problem with that. >> listen to me, it is rich when james comey broke the rules to have his press conference attacking hillary clinton. by issuing the october 28th letter and did nothing to inform the american public about the russians helping trump. >> laura: one more point because we are running way over. here's the problem. >> that's a nonissue. >> laura: guys. >> i thought it was my turn. the people on the left in the media who are complaining that mueller is being unfairly attacked should look in the mirror, because you mentioned

james carville. he set the playbook, he said, and i quote, "ken starr is one away from having his kneecaps busted." that was a man was regularly invited to the white house. i don't like all the stuff that is happening to mueller. i don't think mueller should resign, but they are taking the clinton playbook. and it's coming back to bite them. >> laura: a lot more to say on this, but unfortunately we are way over. thank you both for joining us, richard and saul. and you will not believe who is about to move real immigration reform on capitol hill, and which republicans are coming up the works. stay right here. stay right here. ♪ we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me?

a serious effort underway in the senate to end chain migration. this comes directly on the heels of my interview last week with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. remember i was the first want to get him to say that chain migration needs to come to an end. >> the president has said he is open to a daca deal. tom cotton, senator purdue had this idea of the raise act which would have a whole bunch of things, including end chain migration. >> i agree with him. i'm in favor of doing something on a daca front but i don't think we should just do that, chain migration, doing something about the diverse array lottery. there are plenty of changes to the legal immigration system that should be added to any kind of a daca fix that we do. we went joining us now to discuss immigration, former energy secretary, ambassador to the u.n., democratic governor of new mexico, a long resume, bill richardson, governor richardson it's great to see you. after all this time.

let's talk about chain migratio migration. i know when you were in congress i believe you were in favor of chain migration and you voted for i think it was the chrysler berman amendment, in favor of the chain migration system. are you still in favor of chain migration given how it exponentially expanded immigration in the united state united states? >> i'm a little troubled, i do believe that family-based migration through existing immigration laws is good. i think there are some areas like this lottery system that needs to be reformed. i would get rid of that. i think this situation with the young woman that was killed, i was troubled by the verdict in that case. but i think what we need to

focus on is this. let's find a way, for instance, you know what the h1b visas are. these are highly skilled individuals that are working in the united states that want to stay here, that were educated here. >> laura: we are not talking about them. we are talking about chain migration. we should do in our. but this is something different. i want everyone who is watching, you have to pay attention to what we are talking about. every legal immigrant who comes into the united states for instance, this is just one country, from mexico. brings on average, this is a government statistic, six family members. every two legal immigrants that have green cards bring in seven. this has exploded the number of immigrants into the united states, which is not a merit-based system. the idea that you can bring in adult children because you came

in on an h1 b is preposterous. that's not what the original idea of immigration in the united states. it was for work, it was for merit, and we don't have a burgeoning manufacturing base back yet at least. the idea that we are desperate for family-based immigration, doesn't wash with anybody. not even a political issue. >> then i don't agree with you, because i think family-based immigration. >> laura: what does that mean? >> you unify the family. it means that your sponsor -- that if you have a family, you sponsor somebody in your family, it promotes family reunificatio reunification. legacy, it integrates communities. we are all in a of immigrants. >> laura: that's a cliche. >> we are all immigrants. you just want engineers? you just want teachers? you want family members.

>> laura: why should the american worker of latino descent, of european descent, wherever you came from, why is it their responsibility to import entire families, frankly, in a lot of these cases, extended families, into the united states at a time where we have had wages flatlining in the african-american community and latino community, why is that an obligation of the american citizen? >> what is merit-based immigration mean? >> laura: it doesn't mean being an adult kid of an immigrant. >> wouldn't you rather have family members come? irish-americans, italian-americans. it's not just latinos, you were just making it minorities. it's everybody. and the unit of the nucleus and reunification. >> laura: nuclear. nuclear. husband, wife and children under 18. not adult children, aunts, uncles, grandparents. that's what we are talking about. obama was in india -- actually

he was in france and india over the last week or so. i want to play a sound bite for you, very short of something he said, he was talking about climate change. >> if this did not solve climate change, but it provided us with a framework in which for the first time almost every nation in the world agreed that this was a problem. i grant you that the moment we have a temporary absence of american leadership on the issue. >> laura: whether you're republican or democrat, a former president of united states going overseas and talking about the absence of american leadership, do support that? >> listen. president trump criticizes president obama every day. it's been a tradition of american presidents to stay silent. obama has been silent. he was talking overseas. i go overseas all the time. do what they asked me?

they say why is president trump leaving -- why is he negative on the trans-pacific partnership. why did he want to pull out of nato? why does he want to find ways -- internationally those of the questions that come forth. the trans-pacific partnership, 12 countries, he pulls out, china is now leading. nato in the same way. scorns the europeans, the germans, makes no sense. you get questions like that. i think obama has been very restrained in his criticism. he's been criticized by democrats and others. >> laura: you actually think that american leadership on the world stage was at its apex during obama for the last nine years? we have benghazi, the middle east inflames. we got rid of mubarak, the rise of the muslim brotherhood, the rise of isis. everything that happened, that was all copacetic with you? trump is the problem?

>> president obama was a good foreign policy president. he won a nobel prize. >> laura: in his first five seconds in office. he should give it back. >> we were respected overseas. he opened the relationship with cuba. i think it was a very good foreign policy president and president trump is an isolationist. he's a nationalist. i travel all the time. your we are getting criticized by everybody. >> laura: the people watching fox right now, the fact that a bunch of european elites at conferences you attend and speak to, i'm sure they are fun, sure the food is good. but the fact that european elites and other elite foreign policy gurus around the world are criticizing the president, they used to do it to ronald reagan for whom i used to work. they did it to him relentlessly. he's going to blow up the road. turns out to be one of the greatest presidents of all time. i'm not saying trump is reagan but the elites did it to reagan

legacy will continue through my children. >> laura: yes, even as he leaves in disgrace, conyers is trying to make it a family affair, endorsing his son, john conyers the third to run in replacement congress. is that the district of his personal fiefdom now? a mini dynasty without -- i guess for democrats corruption is just another perk of office. and while we're out the trail, remember congressman william jefferson? investigators found $90,000 in very cold cash and the refrigerator of his new orleans home. he was released just days ago serving only five years of a 13 year sentence. the longest ever given to a member of congress. and then my favorite, there's former florida congresswoman karen brown convicted of stealing from a charity. that's the christmas spirit. brown is still unrepentant and even as she prepares to begin serving a five-year prison sentence next month.

>> witch hunt. >> there's a lot of questions about where the money is gone. >> i have no questions. >> the public has a lot of questions. >> no, you may have a lot of questions because you haven't done any research. >> laura: is this the end of the democratic party? joining us now to discuss here in the studio at rich lowry, editor of national review and democratic strategist and radio talk show host blake. we will also get more into this immigration issue because something is happening in the house that a lot of people don't like. that's quite a trio of fun in the democrat party. conyers is amazing because all the stories keep coming out, he is running out in his pajamas, boxer shorts, no boxer shorts, hand up, down the skirt. john conyers the third. what happened to the second? i guess is the second. so the third is just a step right in? >> he treated this office as his personal hero. one of the latest allegations is that he was feeling a woman up at church. now he thinks it's appropriate to hand the seat over to his

son, but his great-nephew has something to say about this. he also wants to run for this seat. i think the one thing this district does not need anyone else named conyers as a congressman. >> do you think the congressman's name should continue in this particular district? why should he be able to name his successor? this is just a travesty. 55 years later, 53 years later. >> your talk about nepotism and it's just kind of laughable to me when you have jared kushner the scene of advisor. when you have a longer trump sitting in meetings when it comes to china. >> laura: are you think have any brainpower? listen to them, the man can put a sentence together. >> you are talking about nepotism, talk about john conyers. talk about donald trump. that's the pot calling the kettle black. i wasn't. i think he should've stepped on. >> you want to live? >> he's just endorsing people.

just like they say with roy moore, who has this moral higher ground of the folks of alabama to decide. that's laughable to me when you talk about -- >> laura: if roy moore steps aside. let's say hypothetically he steps aside and he says my son roy moore jr. should run for this seat and we should move forward. he would be ridiculing him because it's patently ridiculou ridiculous. who cares republican and democrat, it's ridiculous. >> was laughable as you have the fact that you have the governor of alabama saying i believe the woman but i still feel like roy moore should be in the senate. >> a key difference here is if roy moore loses this race, the republicans are giving up ascendancy. >> he won't lose. john conyers, there will be a liberal democrat who will vote exactly the same way. and there is this enormous angst and consternation whether they should ask this guy to go, who treated his office as his personal harem for his personal gratification. >> trump as president of the

united states. the people -- listen. 12 sexual harassment -- he's been accused by 12 different women. it's the pot calling the kettle black. >> laura: you honestly cannot compare the current allegations against conyers with what came up in the october last-minute in the campaign. are you comparing both of those? >> what i'm saying is that corruption is across the board. >> laura: the people spoke, it was called the election. >> i don't endorse this on, but he wants to do that, it's up to him. across the board, corruption is not a democrat or republican thing. chris christie, paul manafort, mike flynn. you brought up all those people. you have the republican party as well. larry craig, if you want to go old school. it goes across the board. >> laura: larry craig? nobody's remembering that. >> i'm just saying i'm going old-school for you. we want what i find interesting is that the democrats on so many

issues claimed that the republicans are always claiming the moral high ground and on some i'm sure they are. however, the democrats on issue after issue, the environment, they care more than anyone else. the immigration they care more than anyone else. women, this is the best, they are pro-women, and republicans are always apparently waging war against women. but we have example after example of democrat lions come on talking kennedy rolling under the table as the restaurant going back to 1987. what people say about him, our previous guess. i didn't hit him with, bill richardson. he was a mentor, and let me finish, he was a mentor and demand was a giant. there was a huge void left by ted kennedy. a lot of people fill that void, other harassers. >> at the same thing with bill clinton. it's not just that some democrats came out and said he should've resigned. they could have said that 20 years ago. they could have said it last year. and it wasn't until the clintons were no longer of any political used to them that this began to try to be consistent.

>> he was impeached for lying. some democrats opposed it. they all did. >> to act like there isn't sexism in the republic of parties laughable. >> bill clinton should never be invited to another democratic convention again. hillary clinton, who enabled him, never should be a part. if you are being consistent. >> if you're being consistent, you were an anti-trump guy for a very long time. then you wrote this great article politically praising from. i think you should be consistent as well. >> everything about trump. >> laura: 's they are all good points. i want to make one point and we are way over. this chain migration issue, which we had with richardson, mitch mcconnell has now moved to the right. trump has changed mitch mcconnell on this issue of

expanding change tell my chain migration. paul ryan is low walking in the house of representatives. mcconnell and ryan, can they come together on this? >> i hope so. at least on this one issue? >> the needle on this issue -- this is something of getting the credit to trump that he's been right on this and the establishment of the party hasn't. if they can get a trade for a daca codification or an end to chain migration or drastically diminishing it. >> laura: every day of the week. great to have you one. it was a family feud in a way, but i loved it. great to see you both. next, a stunning new example of the press may be admitting kind of sort of biased against that guy, the president. stay here. liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you...

when you've got no plans but with your comfy pants,

grab a marie callender's roasted turkey & stuffing. with mashed potatoes and made from scratch gravy. spoiler alert, things are about to get good. because me time calls for marie callender's. >> laura: are the media now the resistance to the president and his agenda? is that a trick question? abc news has suspended correspondent brian ross for botching a mic flynn report mistakenly think that candidate trump directed flynn to make contact with the russians when it was actually president-elect trump who made the request, small minor detail. and anyone who has ever seen jim acosta in action knows he's on a mission to dump trump. acosta admitted as much at a journalism summit yesterday. he initially said reporters are not part of the resistance, but then he added when journalists are attacked, journalists have

to resist. acosta was back on his high horse at the white house today. >> is there a moral decision that you're making your? >> we find allegations very troubling and this is up to the people of alabama to make that decision. i'm not a boater in alabama and can't make that decision. >> laura: the press lecturing us about morals. joining us now joe conch of the hill to react. wait to see you. i would love the reporters talking about morality. acosta, let's start with him, because he is relentless on his bashing of trump in my view. what's your take on the resistance? is it a resistance or they want to be vindicated after all their poor predictions in 2016? >> i don't think the press is very used to being attacked where the president is actually exercising his first amendment right, which is all he's doing. and jim acosta's case, i'm going to complement him right now.

in fact i'm going to say that he should be a competitor to you. you should not be a white house correspondent. he's an opinion guy. he is passionate about social justice issues, about immigration. he doesn't mind mixing it up, good looking guy. i say put them in prime time, >> laura: is this a love connection? >> i'm just saying -- >> laura: i'm just saying. >> a white house reporter should be asking questions and reporting. >> laura: that's a good idea. he would be a good pundit on any cable network. >> i say even make him a host. >> laura: the lines are blurred for journalist. the brian ross thing affected the stock market. the stock market tanked after that report. >> 350 points the stock market went down. here's the problem with the brian ross report. >> not his first time. >> he said that anthrax definitely came from iraq to 2001 in his office. he liked his press secretary, please don't go that, james homes in aurora, colorado, the

horrible movie theater shooting -- >> laura: members of the press can get it wrong year after year where they don't see the internet bubble crashing or the housing bubble crashing. they make all these predictions about the middle east that are wrong, china trade, wrong. rise of china, missed that. and they just keep going like there's never any wins or losses, you are wrong 90% of the time. the should be a rating, how often are you wrong enter predictions underneath you when you're speaking. >> a very powerful person in this business as reporters are a lot like weatherman, they can get it wrong all the time. >> laura: one more thing, talking about matt lauer. a full screen of the quote. jeff zucker used to be executive producer of the today show. now the president of cnn. he says it's just good to see matt up here and under my desk. i don't want to say matt is a german folk, but he's the only guy i know who uses parole both before and after he -- not saying the word. you see it on the screen.

nothing about the ways of matt lauer. as unbelievable? they are best buds for three decades? >> this is a tough one. matt lauer -- the jokes were funny, not all. joe scarborough said he had to leave because even for new york roast it was bad. the.you have to connect is to say that some old soccer or anti-lacquer anybody over at nbc was an enabler of harassment. they knew he slept around, they know he was a morally bad guy, but to say they know about the bad things he was doing, possibly illegal, i can't make that connection. >> laura: what about the whole galaxy of these media stars? obviously this network has been affected, charlie rose is gone. matt lauer is gone. weinstein is gone, brett ratner and hollywood. ben affleck, kevin spacey. >> louis ck. >> then hollywood puts out movies of, and there's a new movie, come see my name, what's the name of it. it's getting all these awards

where a 17-year-old boy is in a relationship with a 24-year-old man. this is getting all these awards and accolades, preoscar buzz. >> the movie was made before the weinstein effect. >> but it's being praised today. >> i totally get that. >> laura: and its army hammer, and it's being -- this is the new film that it seems to normalize conduct of an adult with an underaged individual, doesn't matter if it's to man or man and a woman, this is what they are putting out hollywood. >> are you saying on "the ingraham angle" that hollywood is actually being hypocritical on an issue like this or on guns or anything else? pick one until my stomach >> laura: they are what they produce. you produce material that speaks to a certain promiscuity or deviancy and that's what ends up. >> i don't have to go, but at the golden globes, the academy awards when we hear all the moral lectures.

that shot, but someone on the train did and they forwarded it to me. to be fair to mr. media, he did tell one twitter user that he thought it was funny. thanks for being a good sport, brian. a polite request. for the sake of social order, please, even with those cute little orange socks of yours, please keep your shoes on in public. okay? it's not your bedroom. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. try super poligrip free. ♪ here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee.
