On today’s episode of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast…

Isn’t it odd how liberals have no desire to see any evidence as to why the entire Russian collusion investigation started in the first place? They simply don’t care to know what caused the Obama administration to launch a spying operation against the Trump campaign or use the system created to spy on foreigners against American citizens. They’re cool with all of it because it’s against their political enemies. But what if it had been turned on Hillary Clinton? That’s a question Alan Dershowitz had for CNN hack Jeffrey Toobin. To no one’s surprise, Toobin dodged the question, preferring to toe the party line rather than be intellectually honest.

But the question must be asked — if the concern from the Obama administration was that the Russians were trying to mess with the election, so much so that they felt the need to spy on the Trump campaign, why didn’t they spy on the Clinton campaign for the same reason? The answer seems pretty clear, and we dissect it.

Was there a second informant? Did the Obama administration attempt to send more spies into the Trump campaign? A former campaign aide says they did. Why don’t liberals care? We tell you why.

What the hell is happening with people? A man was arrested for urinating on the back of a seat on a flight from Colorado to South Carolina because, well, we don’t know but have to assume (or hope) he was drunk out of his mind. How does something like this come about? It’s because people have become selfish monsters in the age of social media. When you obliterate the line between being famous and infamous the only thing that matters is getting attention. And when that happens, social norms get destroyed. Maybe these jerks were always around and we didn’t notice before, but it seems more likely society is changing for the worse. We explain.

Finally, Starbucks has transformed itself into America’s bathroom. A new company policy allows anyone, customer or not, to use their bathrooms and hang out in their stores. What could go wrong? Who wouldn’t want to buy an $8 latte where homeless junkies shower in the bathroom sink? How long until people using their tables and free wifi start ordering food to be delivered to their “mobile office”? This is weapons-grade stupid.
