this serves as a continuation of the classic '90s film starring robin williams, one of my all-time favoritenot a sequel and it's not a remake. i guess, technically speaking, because it continues the story, you can put it in the sequel department, but this 2017 version stars dwayne "the rock" johnson, who also produced the film, kevin hart, jack black, and karen gillan as high school students, but they're played different actors, and here's what i mean by that. so, they're high school students at the beginning of the film, the younger versions, and they find themselves transported into the land of the jumanji video game, where they take on the avatars of the characters they were playing. so, for example, jack black's character is actually a high school teenage girl, but in the world of the jumanji game, she's a grown man played by jack black. it's very, very funny. jack black steals the entire film. every single scene of his is brilliant. the movie has big laughs. it's fun with the crowd. it's solid action, solid intensity, and a lot of fun, in my opinion. i thought some of the scenes were a

there's an old robin williams joke about retracting back to american borders and the statue of liberty her fist particularly lard, and that should be the -- particularly harksd a hard, and that should be the new foreign policy. i think that's the stuff trump talked about on the campaign trail. it's interesting to see how much he's get to in year two. >> you mentioned the 5,000 words. it's interesting, by the numbers, yahoo! broke it down. obama first used 7,000 but was 14 minutes shorter than trump's which was an interesting dynamic in terms of the delivery of the speech and applause lines. pacing was maybe not perfect. you bring up the three reactions. he's never going to reach the resistance. the base is with him no matter what. who he needs are those people who don't care so much about the day, drip, drip, drip, the tweets. they care about the economy, they care about some unity. here's what the president said about americans and here was his most unifying overall message. listen.
