One of my most delightful interviews from my CBS News Radio days was with the amazing B.B. King, who brought his guitar Lucille into the studio.

So I sat about four feet away from one of the best musicians in history while he played the blues and talked.

It doesn’t get any better than that.

One day I hope we’ll look back on this time and wonder how we ever went so far astray by electing this man not just once but twice.

"The man sitting behind the Resolute Desk is out of his mind. This person possesses the title of Commander-in-Chief. This person is 'deciding' how to conduct a war against Iran that he started. He does not know what he’s doing."

Snapshot: He Is Out of His Mind

This is increasingly obvious—and increasingly dangerous

America, America

Trump doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about with regard to NATO. His own people should tell him the only time Article 5 was utilized was after the U.S. was attacked on 9-11-01.

He insults our allies & praises Putin.

He stopped sanctions on Putin’s gas at the same time Putin is giving Iran intelligence on US troop movements and locations.

This👆🏻used to be called TREASON!
Trump’s actions are aiding & abetting the enemy. Now it’s called Monday in Trump🌎🤬

It’s like Kamala Harris said. An unserious man in a very serious position.
The far right ain’t on board with the Iran war…

"That’s why Trump’s 'the way it is' comment could easily be remembered. Trump is trying to shrug something off as just the way of the world, when instead it’s the direct consequence of his own actions.

Trump’s base voted him in to fix the economy, close the borders and end foreign wars. They were willing to forgive him almost anything if he delivered on that. If the deal falls apart, they will turn on him just as viciously as they’ve turned on every other politician."
