Taking a break from his preparation for Friday's big "The Spin Stops Here" appearance in Baltimore, Bill joined Glenn Beck on The Blaze radio for another of their weekly sessions. 

They began with President Trump's contentious address to the United Nations General Assembly, during which he threatened to annihilate North Korea.  "I thought it was a pretty good speech," Bill opined, "and I was not offended by the 'Rocket Man' reference.  I loved the outrage from people like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and Barack Obama, who did absolutely nothing on North Korea for eight years.  The most vicious thing the United States did during the Obama administration was send Dennis Rodman over there!  These people have hubris." 

Beck took issue with Bill's assessment, saying that Kim Jong Un is a "crazy man" and that President Trump "belittled himself by calling him 'Rocket Man.'"  Both men agreed that the United States will not launch a first strike. 

They then turned to the report that the FBI wiretapped former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, at least somewhat vindicating the president's much-ridiculed accusation that he was bugged.  "This revelation is amazing," Bill declared, "because the Obama administration has also been accused of illegal surveillance across the board.  Trump has caught an enormous break that this is now public knowledge."  Bill theorized that Manafort will probably be indicted and then brought up the astounding claim made by James Clapper, President Obama's Director of National Intelligence:  "If Clapper is telling the truth and he did not know about the surveillance of Paul Manafort, that means it was done illegally."  Beck characterized the entire situation as a story "that will make or break this administration and make or break the former administration." 

Beck and Bill shifted their focus to a related story, the new claim that former Obama national security aide Samantha Power requested the "unmasking" of hundreds of Americans who were caught on wiretaps.  "You have the Obama administration wiretapping the head of the Trump campaign," Bill said, "and you have Clapper saying he didn't know about it.  Then you have U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power asking 260 times for information about who was talking to foreign people.  It looks like there was a pattern of behavior in the last year of the Obama administration that was directed toward the Trump campaign." 

Returning for one final segment, the duo returned to the subject of North Korea and the newly-imposed financial sanctions.  "President Trump has signed an executive order," Bill reported, "and it says that if you do business with North Korea you can't do business with the USA.  That's pretty tough.  We're not playing games here – if we find out that you are interacting with Kim Jong Un, you won't interact with us." 

They also mutually ridiculed California for suing the feds over an extension of the border wall.  "The state says it will sue the federal government because it is violating environmental regulations," Bill groused, "but there's already a wall there in some places and it has worked great.  Everybody knows this is a ruse and California has basically set itself up as an opponent of the federal government.  They want to be a separate country and I feel terrible for the people in California who are sane."  Beck expressed a willingness to let California secede and remove one star from Old Glory.

Bill concluded by miraculously combining a shot at North Korea with a shameless book plug:  "I'm a little prejudiced against North Korea because they will not put 'Killing England' in the book stores.  That's because they do not have book stores!"
