-- -- -- -- -- -- sort -- program.

But talk about the program.

Fox News conservative silicone Obama's John good morning -- I'm good -- area -- afternoon around.

What else do I do now I -- some stuff sometimes yeah.

I made a living.

You know that is an excellent questions still figuring that one and you know the minute you go -- used today I can and other non profit while they used to raise money.

From donors and individuals in the minute you go on television it's funny everybody thinks you're rich.

And they don't realize that most people on television paid to go on television.

Most columns -- you know fifty bucks a column or whatever so you know figuring it out -- try to do it just doesn't try to -- -- to -- them.

And -- -- so while lucky enough that fox is paying me now and I don't know Jaime diamonds job might open let's hope so to a donut anyway yeah.

Now our opponents of decadent -- room -- -- -- are far I can't complain Europe now I as unfortunate that the job.

Are -- -- in our -- gay marriage have a long time -- out.

On the present.

I'd just.

Got dragged kicking and screaming.

There's unfairness.

Wouldn't characterize it that what I look I believe those sort of been said reporting that he was going to do it eventually I think -- -- -- it on his own sort of political frankly timeline.

Between now and November.

And I think it was.

LB always lovely Joseph Biden I mean what else can we get Joseph Biden to accidentally come out against our policies favor of and then.

Omar hasn't hundreds of about -- now I outsells.

Or what -- I thought it would had a board have been better.

A -- to present a minimum beyond -- -- and actually I don't mean.

But -- -- to present hedged his bet.

When he said -- announcement.

-- the sort of should be left up to the states outside not -- Mary I don't but it showed that.

But that's irrelevant I think you probably.

-- amid a more forceful endorsement are you.

Yeah I actually wrote a piece speaking of what I wrote a piece on that Fox News website at people under the Fox News opinion page of the go to my site Sally tone dot com.

General -- -- -- it was the you know here's what Obama really should say and -- still could he still you know he's got -- -- he could still make more forceful statement.

-- because what he did say was you know look very glad -- didn't.

It's a big deal first president of the United States of America sitting president to say he supports marriage equality in -- to stand on the right side of history.

But he said it's personal this is what I personally believe which is great sends an important message to kids getting bullied and who who feel like second class citizens.

-- really matters is what he's politically gonna do with it.

And -- over you know 12100 benefits and 14100 benefits that the federal government controls.

Through marriage that you get through -- -- know whether it's citizenship whether it's filing taxes when it's a security you know beneficiaries.

So it it it'll be just leaving it to the states is kind of you know is trying to played a little both -- Continually aren't they yeah.

I'm Smart -- that was solid ground and -- -- were my tips.

And well it's worked in -- holds gold.

-- -- -- -- Army -- you you're -- home schooling.

And premium because I don't give them the benefit of public colleges you know I just think that that they would grow up to be one really interesting character.

No not by me not get on out of -- quality education by design.

Which is a great organization.

They're hired teachers for him -- do all -- of his commission tells him so that he also has -- the greatest there's.

Anyway alone but -- you -- or private school amana.

And I can't remember.

-- major ones but there -- number of kids there.

-- -- her mothers.

And summer -- fathers.

And at one point I remember he came home.

And ask us about it and I can't remember what I said.

-- -- exemption and a couple.

For a couple hours.

One is obviously I didn't -- march.

And I didn't suggest.

-- it was -- everything other them.

Endlessly about or something or one or I would note that the boat that was -- two parents -- -- one.

So that -- used to refer to this front it is -- pretty mommy and hardly the home.

-- Presumably -- Larry yeah that's how we've evolved d.s over got sober temples all that was -- -- yeah had a giant here the other day.

The guy road to border want to be generated -- your mom's aha yes sort of name -- -- Yeah exact though -- objects -- walls or whatever that's.

And I said Norma amiss won't one of the arguments people made to.

About children being raised by de couples.

And so failed regularly.

And he says.

To dampen out.

All almost not -- I'm point 9% to a a perhaps a 100% of -- people would come out of heterosexual parents.

So they got so -- let's start of hardware rip everybody is -- but the reason I didn't start blaming all the -- parents have -- -- I mean look I I for one you know I will be thrilled.

You know and proud of my -- -- But that's because I don't think that there's anything morally spiritually you know you know different or less -- about being get.

But -- of -- I'm never gonna be one to equate race and sexuality they're very different things they're treated very differently and I -- with very different histories of the society.

But you know everyone who is right now moralizing.

Whether it's on legal reasons or are.

Family reasons are.
