that gets lost especially after eight years with brock obama. we forget forget how significant and unusual that was at the time. the second thing, i'm in a bookstore so i have to say this, it's refreshing to have a president in blue clinton and barack obama who are deeply intellectual. who read constantly. you might want to comment about this but bill clinton would literally read four or five books a week while he was president. so i just wanted your comments on that. >> yes on the diversity question. he was the first president who set i'm going to have a cabinet that that looks like america, and he did. and not just a cabinet, but at at other cabinet levels and throughout his presidency and it was really an impressive thing. another thing i learned about him that i had not quite fully appreciated is the extent to which i think hatred of racism was a deep in him from the time he was a little boy. he grew up surrounded by it of course. and he saw it. he really it really was genuinely antiracist in a very personal way. his enemies in arkansas when

long they avoided such bravery because how could they call into question their super dream date brock obamaey check their spines at the door, turned both eyes blind a drop to their knees. listening to the media yakking about during their job after so much sucking up is like listening to a bar to describe its own smell. here is frank rich in a new york times talking about journalist under trump. quote, everyone is on their phones. yes, they're on their phones, it's a 2017 frank, who 17 frank, who isn't on their phones? jackass. now, they could've found the same excitement and revelations in obama's white house, but instead they hibernated until now. i wonder why. >> i don't have to tell you what i went to do in north korea. i don't have to tell you what i'm going to do in north korea. >> where you from? how much longer should we stay here? or your friendly reporter? >> i know it's going to be a bad question, but that's okay.
