to go in our coverage and we are pleased to be joined with you by the best-selling talkshow host ben shapiro, the people versus barack obama coming out in paperback this month and we will talk about that but what's on your mind clicks >> the presidential race is on my mind. if i have to watch hillary clinton faked being a human for much longer i'm not sure that i can take it. in the animation business it is to say if you ever watch polar express, it is realistic enough that it looks like human beings but not realistic enough while you are watching. hillary clinton actually has an address and bought while jim her try to imitate human is slightly odd and you wait for the glitch to go off in her head and she turns in from star trek. on the republican side of the aisle it's watching them -- each other and not thinking about the race for a few minutes. >> how unique are you in los angeles, young jewish, conservative, pretty outspoken. >> the orthodox jews felt right so they tend to vote and the secular culture all the time as i am but it's alright. all right. i mean, i would go with -- certainly
