682: Morning Joe Hits Trump - Is the President Suffering from Mental Illness?

Published: Dec. 7, 2017, 6:56 p.m.

It's no surprise given the feud between the President and Joe Scarborough that Joe would come out and question the president's mental state after a speech recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Isreal. And frankly, he has some grounds to do it. During that speech the president had serious problems getting his words out, slurring several times and struggling to finish his thoughts. It was suggested that the president might have had a very dry mouth and it was that and not a near stroke that caused him to slur his speech. Being behind the microphone an hour every day I'm no stranger to a slurred word or stumble. It happens, so I give the president some latitude, but after listening to the speech I do think there is room for some concern over the incident. I'll play the clip for you today, and you can decide. ***A former consultant who worked for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has claimed the organization funneled a large portion of over $5 billion in collected penalties to community organizers aligned with Democrats in a kind of "slush fund" according to a post article. The CFPB is the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren and was set up to operate outside of and without oversight from Congress. It's yet another way politicians attempt to cut you out and circumvent the constitution. Lots more on tap for today. Listen Now! Jason   Support the show.
