Honest Abe, when he wore that hat, that was tough to beat. But I cant do that, that hat wouldnt work for me. Yeah, I have better hair than him. But Honest Abe was tough to beat. Remember we used to do that during the campaign. They used to say, when I speak, the crowd would be crazy, Id go crazy we would all go crazy. We had a lot of fun together. We had 25,000 Weve never had an empty seat. From the day I came down the escalator, with a potential unbelievable woman who became a first lady.
(Applause)
The crowds loved her, the people love her.
But weve never had an empty seat, not one. I really believe that. There was one case where we had a tremendous snowstorm, and it was just about frozen. It was like a monster storm, I dont even know how it got there. I said, hows the crowd? Its just not full, sir. I said what does that mean. Theres like two seats on top. Thousands and thousands of people couldnt get there. So they show pictures of the empty seats. The worst storm theyve had in years. They show pictures of like nine empty seats. They could have been people just went to the bathroom together.

Was Honest Abe tough to beat? I couldn't gather from that mess of a speech whether or not he was tough to beat or not.

This week's Top 10 is live from the University Of Kansas with the famous Wheel Of Corruption! And we ask the hard hitting questions like what's the deal with impeachment? Who are the whistleblowers? Are the NRA Russian assets? Why does Trump keep retweeting Fox News personalities? What the hell was he saying at the UN General Assembly? And why are neo Nazis scared of a 16 year old climate change activist? Plus in our weekly investigative piece, Top 10 Investigates, we're going to take a look at what happened to stranded travelers when one of the UK's oldest companies, Thomas Cook shut down and ended its' airline operations. And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit", after the Dark One snubs climate change activists to discuss "religious freedom", our resident pastor is going to do a deep dive on the subject. We also have a new "What's Up With India?" - why is Trump cozying up to India's ruthless PM Najendra Modi? We will find out! Plus we also have a new People Are Dumb, because of course they are! And our 2020 voters' guide, Keeping Up With The Candidates - where does your favorite candidate stand on impeachment? We will find out who and why! All this plus we've got some live music from Jamaican reggae legends Steel Pulse!
