You know those times when you have so much to say you don't know where to start?

0:05.1

This is one of them. Going to the prayer breakfast in DC, speaking to so many people of faith,

0:09.9

watching Trump speak, it gave me so much to think about. I've hardly processed it yet.

0:14.0

But at the same time, I want to talk about the ongoing Niksonian cover-up by our news media,

0:18.4

who continue to do everything they can to hide and minimize the abuses of power of the Obama

0:22.8

administration, abuses that continue to haunt us today. A case in point is the coverage of Rob

0:28.4

Porter, the Trump staffer who's resigned after two of his ex-wives claimed he beat them up.

1:16.8

because he's doing such a good job. As I was traveling home in the plane last night,

1:21.5

I was able to switch back and forth between Fox News and CNN on mid-air satellite TV, because

1:28.7

we live in an age of miracles. Fox News covered the new budget, CNN covered Rob Porter. Fox News

1:35.2

covered Rob Porter, CNN covered Rob Porter. Fox News went on to cover the war in Syria. CNN covered

1:42.1

Rob Porter. Fox News covered the Pfizer scandal, CNN covered Rob Porter. After a while, I began to
