All righty.

So we do have a lot coming up for you today on today's show.

And let's just jump right in. So President Trump, over the last 24 hours, was in a whole lot of hot water. Why? Well, he went to one of his rallies, and this came in the aftermath of tweets that he sent earlier this week. He sent tweets on Sunday, and those tweets, he told a bunch of progressive congresswomen that they should go back to their home countries. The problem being that three of the four progressive congressw who is talking about were born right here. And the fourth is a naturalized American citizen. So telling them to go back to their home countries because you don't like their politics. That's not good. That's bad stuff. And then President Trump morphed that argument into, well, what I really meant was if you don't love the country, you can leave it at any time. Well, that's not an unusual argument. That's had a place in American politics for a very long time.

It's not really an argument so much as it is an emotional appeal. If you don't like it, you're free to leave. In fact, Hollywood stars use this all the time. I say, well, you know, if Trump is elected, I'm going to move up to Canada, and then nobody ever actually moves up to Canada.

1:22.2

argument that is more objectionable is go back to your home country. That's objectionable,

1:26.3

maybe xenophobic.

1:33.5

But the president Trump then did a rally. And the rally happened in North Carolina. This happened two nights ago. And the president of the United States was talking about Ilhan Omar.

1:37.7

Ilhan Omar is the worst of the so-called squad. The squad is composed, of course, of AOC and

1:42.5

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talaleb and Ayanna Presley.

1:45.4

And Ilhan Omar is the most radical member of the squad.

1:48.4

Not necessarily in terms of her domestic politics, but certainly in terms of the language she uses about the United States, the language that she uses about terror groups, her history of going easy on, for example, ISIS recruits, she wrote a letter to a judge recommending the people attempting to join ISIS be given more lenient sentences.
