i mean, donald trump -- what strikes me is we ought to be attacking democrats for taking people like ashley juddabout running her for the united states senate from kentucky against mitch mcconnell. that's ridiculous. at least donald trump, first of all, has flirted twice now with running for president, both times has pulled back. i much prefer that if he runs for president or for anything he does so as a republican, we need a big 10 party. glad trump was there i wish chris christie was there, bob mcdone and go proud, the gay republican group. but the fact that donald trump is there, why do we want to throw nip out of our party? >> all right. we will leave it there thanks very much to three of you. please go online and check out the speech. >>> people have been buzzing this week about a facebook study that showed people who liked curly fries on the site have higher iqs. we brought you this story on tuesday with the lament i'm obviously not smart, when i'm at arby's, i go with the potato cakes instead of the curly fries. the people at arby's saw our segment, bob kraut, the senior vice president of

judd? anyone going to speak up and say anything about the outrage that was just perpetrated on us? and donald trump should have condemned it. he praised him. i think donald trump should have said how much they gave you, dennis rodman, i will give -- you give that money back. i will pay you that and then he would be a hero to the human rights activists and would have got then p.r. he was looking for anyway. >> kim jong-un has a long history of prison camps, concentration camps, people starving, but dennis rodman says obama should give him a call. >> don't forget he is my friend, as he said. and there's the phrase, two of the grandfather and the father two of the great butchers of all-time. when i was at the state department a met a lot of whacky diplomats. the guy can take the cake. >> well intentioned. >> you think somebody would have briefed him on the human rights conditions. but, no, he says a good guy america friend. that's his problem to deal with. it's not just -- we haven't had anybody sit noun north korea as far as i know, franklin graham, billy graham's son. outside of that they won'
