slash Ben. Well, if you learn nothing else from watching congressional hearings, you should learn that Congress people should not have control over your life because they are some of the dumbest people who have ever walked the earth. I mean, it truly is an incredible thing.

Adam Carolla, my friend Adam Carolla, the comedian,

he's often said that when he was a kid and he was growing up,

he would look at the adults and he would think to himself,

they all must be pretty smart.

I mean, Adam Carolla, my friend Adam Carolla, the comedian. He's often said that when he was a kid and he was growing up, he would look at the adults

and he would think to himself, they all must be pretty smart. I mean, they've got cars, they've got houses. And then he became an adult and he realized, nope, all those adults, they are just the same as the kids I was sitting next to when I was in kindergarten who were eating their own boogers.

Now make no mistake, the only reason they were going after Bill Barr is because Bill Barr has actually been a pretty effective attorney general. In particular, they're angry that Bill Barr

committed the great sin of tasking the DOJ with investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion

about the malfeasance inside the Obama administration, their willingness to press forward

on virtually no evidence toward prosecutions. Bill Barr has been very good on a lot of this stuff.

And now, it should be noted that Bill Barr has also disagreed with President Trump on a wide variety of topics. So, for example, President Trump was constantly suggesting that Roger Stone never should have gone to jail. Bill Barr never said that. Bill Barr said he should go to jail. He said he doesn't deserve nine years in jail because he's 67 years old and this is really his first convictable criminal offense. But President Trump ended up pardoning Roger Stone.

Democrats tried to blame Barr for Trump pardoning Roger Stone. So there are a few things that

were going on yesterday at this, at this ridiculous, ridiculous hearings. So they bring up Bill Barr
