Talking Obama's Legacy and Trump's Presidential Powers: Nick Gillespie
How Barack Obama amassed power, how Donald Trump is likely to use it, and how we can take it back once and for all.
Earlier today, I was on the Keith Larson Show, talking about how Donald Trump will receive massive and enhanced powers as president, thanks in part to Barack Obama. Larson, a long-time North Carolina talker, is posting his shows at SoundCloud (below) and also TuneIn, iTunes, and Stitcher. Go here for more info on that.
I join the show below at the one-hour mark.

No one cares.
^Boom.
Tell the Jacket that millennials don't care and you might get a response.
Yeah, someone minding the store would be preferable to this and Welsh getting mug time on yack-fests.
If he's talking, he's not writing. And his style is much, much better delivered orally.
Oh you had to light the Hugh Akston signal, didn't you?
I don't get the rudeness, HM.

He talk you looooong time.
And right now, the blowhard is giving Joe Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Because reasons.
God, I'm sick of his voice. As bad as Trump will be, it'll be great to get rid of him.
Biden is a True American Hero and I'll hear nothing else. Man has dedicated his life to his Chauncey Gardener impression and has not broken kayfabe once in 40 years.
Well, he does like to watch.
"Let me be clear, Joe Biden is, uh, a great man, and an inspiration to us, uh, all."
And furthermore, uh, let me list some of his, uh, accomplishments then discuss myself for, uh, the next hour and, uh, half.
"Ridden more miles on Amtrak, our glorious national rail system, than any other person alive."
I look forward to relentlessly throwing Obama's actual record back into my liberal friends faces every time Trump does the exact same thing.
Only I'm going to be a real ass about it and be like: "I liked this better when Sanders said it" or "This policy was so much more humane when Obama did it."
I just wish there was a running list of all the things he did so I could use it for quick reference.
