Summary: Ben Shapiro, Editor in Chief of the Daily Wire, fills in for Mark. The media are making it out like President Trump is out of control with his words towards North Korea, which isn’t true. The media is attached to a vision that Trump is a nutcase who is going to start a nuclear war. But they have said this about every Republican President since Ronald Reagan. When it comes to using language like “fire and fury”, Trump uses these types of words all the time. The history of North Korea shows us why kicking the can down the road never works. All of the hard choices that Trump has dealt with now are based on a past of bad decisions by American Presidents on North Korea. These problems have been going on for over six decades since Harry Truman. After that, CNN fired Jeffrey Lord because of a tweet that included a Nazi salute. But Lord was just mocking the fascism of Media Matters who he was in an argument with. CNN was looking for an excuse to fire Lord and they got it. In addition, Republicans have been promising for years they would pass legislation such as tax reform and repealing Obamacare and they haven’t done it. Trump has said it is time for Mitch McConnell to get things moving or get out. This kind of fighting that Trump is engaging McConnell in is more personal than it is about policy. This kind of fighting will not achieve any wins. As conservatives we have to warn Trump from supporting leftists because he is angry at McConnell. Finally, Trump wants to help battle the opioid addiction crisis. However, throwing federal funding at it is not the answer, but support from the family and community is.
