Hasta La Gadget!

Some of the things that fly out of a toddler’s mouth are straight-up comedy gold.

Matthew Clark, a 27-year-old dad from Texas, is keenly aware of this. Especially since he has an imaginative 3-year-old son named Caleb, who he says is a bit of a know-it-all.

“I can ask him what 2+2 is and if he says 10, I can’t convince him otherwise,” Clark told the Huffington Post.

Recently, Clark saw some AMAs that piqued his interest. AMA stands for “Ask Me Anything,” on the content-sharing platform Reddit. Celebrities or people with notable jobs or life experience use AMAs to answer questions asked by Reddit users. But Clark noticed that regular people were also creating AMAs, and he thought it would be funny if an AMA featured Caleb.

“He’s always been funny and creative with his answers to things so I knew he would be good with random questions,” Clark explained to HuffPost.

On April 13, Clark created an AMA for Caleb with his own Reddit username, MyUnAlteredMind. People began to ask him all kinds of questions.

Needless to say, Caleb’s answers were pretty interesting.

Clark said he conducted the AMA by asking Caleb the questions and then typing his son’s responses.

“I just told him some people had questions and they needed help with the answers,” Clark told HuffPost. “Things went fine during it. He had his moments when his favorite cartoons came on and he didn’t want to answer as much, so we just let him be.”

But for the most part Caleb was a good sport.

At times he even got kind of deep.

Caleb even had a favorite question. Someone asked him about his favorite book and it definitely distracted him from watching his cartoons.

Clark said that after a while Caleb got a little cranky.

“He answered a lot and then slowly became annoyed when asked too many so we had to slow it down or just not ask any,” Clark said.

But Caleb still let loose a few gems.

All in all, Caleb’s AMA was a hit on Reddit, receiving more than a thousand comments.

“I think people responded the way they did because deep down we all love silly answers and reminisce when life was magical and not just black and white,” Clark said. “We miss what only children can experience.”

Plus, Caleb just happens to be pretty cool.

That’s right, kid.

Four in 10 Americans say there’s almost nothing President Donald Trump could do to change their minds about him, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey shows, with Trump’s opponents especially staunch in their beliefs.

The poll finds that 41 percent of respondents approve of Trump and 48 percent disapprove. That’s similar to HuffPost Pollster’s aggregate, which gives Trump an average 44 percent approval rating and an average 51 percent disapproval rating as of Thursday afternoon.

The HuffPost/YouGov survey also asks respondents whether they think there is something Trump can do during his tenure to change their minds about him, regardless of how they feel now.

Sixty-three percent of Americans who currently disapprove of Trump say there’s almost nothing the president can do to win their approval. Conversely, a relatively modest 24 percent of Americans who currently approve of Trump say there’s almost nothing he could do to lose their approval.

That adds up to a combined 40 percent of the population saying that at just over four months into Trump’s presidency, there’s little he can do to change their minds about his performance ― 10 percent because they’ll never stop liking him, and 30 percent because they’ll never start.

People aren’t impeccable at predicting their future actions, and telling a pollster they’ll never feel a certain way doesn’t guarantee they won’t.  

But the results give some idea as to how much his approval rating could continue to fluctuate in coming years.

Although Trump took office with a modest surplus of goodwill, his ratings reached an especially low ebb in the aftermath of Republicans’ failed health care bill. Trump’s approval rating has remained between 41 and 45 percent in Pollster’s average.

Among Americans who disapprove of Trump overall, 64 percent say Trump hasn’t done anything they approve of, according to the HuffPost/YouGov survey, while just 24 percent say that he’s earned their approval for some actions.

Fifty-one percent of Americans who currently approve of Trump say he’s done nothing so far to earn their disapproval, with 31 percent saying he’s done at least something they disapprove of.

The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted April 17-18 among U.S. adults, using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.

The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls.You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov’s nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be found here. More details on the polls’ methodology are available here.

Most surveys report a margin of error that represents some, but not all, potential survey errors. YouGov’s reports include a model-based margin of error, which rests on a specific set of statistical assumptions about the selected sample, rather than the standard methodology for random probability sampling. If these assumptions are wrong, the model-based margin of error may also be inaccurate. Click here for a more detailed explanation of the model-based margin of error.

AUSTIN, Texas ― Attorneys for Alex Jones’ ex-wife grilled him on the witness stand Thursday in his high-profile custody battle, in an aggressive line of questioning that focused on the conservative radio host’s temperament and character.

First on the agenda: whether Jones had eaten chili that morning.

“Is that a serious question?” Jones responded.

Alex Jones and his ex-wife, Kelly, are drawing national media attention for the fight over their three children. Alex Jones’ lawyers are arguing that the raging conspiracy theorist and ally of President Donald Trump is a different man when he comes home to his kids than he is on his radio show Infowars. Attorneys for his ex-wife have argued that his show exhibits a spiteful and offensive ideology that he inculcates into his children.

During depositions, Bobby Newman, Kelly Jones’ attorney, noted that Alex Jones once said he had trouble remembering the names of his children’s teachers because he had eaten a large bowl of chili. Insisting the meal was relevant, Newman had Alex Jones read from a transcript of the deposition, in which he had said the teachers’ names would “pop in my head, I ate too much chili.” Jones then read a question from the transcript from an attorney asking if chili clouds his memory, followed by his response: “Big old bowl of chili. Sure does, yeah.”

The food questions stopped after Randall Wilhite, one of Alex Jones’ lawyers, called it “argumentative and silly.” 

The crux of Alex Jones’ case is that he’s not the same guy on air as he is with his children.

Before the cross-examination, Jones took questions from his own attorney, in which he tried to communicate to the jury that the enraged character he plays on his show is a different man from the sensitive father he says he is at home.

“You have a certain sort of delivery,” Wilhite said. “Do you take that home with you?”

Other than talking politics with his kids when they express an interest, he said, he didn’t.

“No. None of the bombasity, when I rage,” Jones said. “Stephen Colbert made fun of me the other day. I’m sure his kids see him get angry on TV.” 

George Soros has basically brain-damaged a lot of people.”

His lawyer likened Jones’ performance on Infowars to comedian Jon Stewart or conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh, saying their work ― like his ― is inflected with satire. Jones agreed, describing 90 percent of what he does on Infowars as “hard news,” with a mix of satire and humor making up the balance.

“They play characters to illustrate who they are,” Jones said of the celebrities he was compared to, adding that he doesn’t think they take it home to their families. “I know I don’t,” he said. “I don’t want to think about work when I go home.”

Newman’s cross-examination also brought up where and when Jones has smoked weed. Jones said he takes a few puffs every year to gauge how strong it has become since his high school days, arguing that law enforcement tests the potency of weed the same way he does. Jones’ experiments have led him to conclude that marijuana today is too strong, he said, and therefore should be decriminalized rather than legalized entirely.

“George Soros has basically brain-damaged a lot of people,” Jones said of the liberal billionaire, who has helped fund efforts to legalize the drug.

While known for his bluster on air, Jones largely maintained his composure under an interrogation that clearly needled him. At times he sighed in exasperation, threw up his hands, rolled his eyes, or did all three things at once. Newman, who has expressed frustration with Jones over the last days for gesturing at him or shaking his head during proceedings, badgered Jones when his answers veered off track.

“If you’re not high, why can’t you just answer my questions?” Newman asked Jones at one point.

Newman’s cross-examination continued in this vein. He accused Jones of carrying on a sexual relationship with a woman other than his new wife, whom he married in 2015. Jones said his current wife was aware of the infidelity, but he denied that he continued having sex with the other woman after he became engaged. His lawyer challenged the relevance of the questioning, without success.

After that, Newman moved on to Jones’ drinking, rolling a clip of an allegedly inebriated Jones saying he was going to go “piss” on a tree. Jones said he wasn’t drunk and his comment was just a joke; he actually urinated in a nearby port-a-potty after the segment cut off air, he said.

It remained unclear how much of Jones’ testimony would affect the jury members, who have also heard therapists describe his ex-wife Kelly’s treatment of their children as “abusive.” Jones has held primary custody of all three kids for the last 30 months.

“It’s one of the saddest things in my life that has happened,” he said of the custody battle. “I worked as hard as I could to keep it out of the news.”
