Comedic legend Jerry Lewis recently sat down for an interview with the Catholic EWTV outlet. The riveting interview, which aired Thursday, concluded with current events, including Obama, Trump, ISIS and even the refugee crisis. Lewis did not hold back, bashing Obama as a failed leader, smacking down the idea of importing more Syrians, and praising GOP front-runner Donald Trump for his showmanship.
Raymond Arroyo, host of The World Over, asked Lewis about the horrific emergence of ISIS. Lewis first wondered aloud where our NATO allies were to tackle the world problem and then commented that they are asking to be stopped.
They are asking to be stopped and we are not stopping them; just reporting what they re doing, asserted Lewis. Its ridiculous!

Jerry is 100% correct.
On Donald Trump: “I think he’s great...he’s a showman.”
On Ronald Reagan: “I can do three hours on him of praise he was so good.”
Increased respect for Jerry Lewis.
Ronald Raegan was looked down on because he was MERELY a movie actor and “what could a guy who co-starred with a monkey” ever do? He turned out to be THAT Ronald Raegan didn’t he?
Jerry Lewis is regard a a “silly funny guy” so who the hell is he to make any kind of judgement on such matters.
I think Jerry Lewis has it in him to stand tall beside Raegan, towering over “HIM” in intellect and leadership qualities.
To those whose heads just exploded, “Sorry about that”.
Lewis was more than a movie funny man. He was an innovative and accomplished filmmaker. He invented the video assist (the little screen directors look into to see what the shot looks like).
My opinion of him just went up. He always struck me as a nasty guy.
Glad to see that he’s lost weight and that his mind is sharp.

Jerry Lewis in his prime-on What’s My Line July 2, 1956.
He comes in at 18:54.
EWTN. Anyone can blog nowadays.
Meant July 22, 1956.
Early TV entertainment.
I would disagree. Much of what Jerry said was spot on but I depart from his view that gives Obama a pass because he "wasn't prepared" for ISIS.
Presidents are generally surrounded by very smart people, albeit many of those people have political agendas. It's not Obama's ignorance of ISIS that's a problem. It's his Muslim and communist world-view that prevents him from seeing Islam, all Islam, for the evil it is.
Yes, but it’s tiring to hear the same old entertainment icons now close to their end ( careers and life) ,all of a sudden becoming one or saying what Conservatives have been saying for years usually all in order to try to make themselves relevant again.
No kidding eh!
Now I’m almost sorry for all the times I pulled his ears.
Great comment... thanks for sharing Borges.
Since his Muslim, communist world-view IS evil, he doesn't see Islam as evil, or doesn't care. He's totally on board with it.
Lewis has been a conservative as long as I can remember. The few times he’s been interviewed about politics and life his love of America comes through loud and clear. A phony he’s not and that’s why Hollywood liberals never liked him. He has no use for grandstanding homosexuals and has so many times. I know the LBGT crowd must drive him up the wall. He say the influence of the sodomites in Hollywood and it makes him sick. He has no use for women trying to act like men and has said a woman’s place is at home taking care raising children in the formulative years.
Yes, I am aware of that.
Notice I wrote in generalities and not specifically about one exception.
God Bless Jerry Lewis.
Not bad for an 89 year old guy.
“Increased respect for Jerry Lewis.”
Same here. In all honesty I did not know he was still alive. His mind is still clear and sharp.
