he's been on a special diet, a vegetarian diet, beyond that a vegan diet. he's eating a lot of legumes and things like that, he's been exercising a lot. some people thought he was losing it, maybe he was losing some of that pizazz, that spark, but clearly tonight he showed he has just about, if not more, of that fire in his belly as a political person that he had before all of that heart disease, all of the problems that he's gone through in the more recent years. it was really an amazing performance. >> yes, certainly a good testament to a vegan diet. makes me want to give it a try. and worth it to hear wolf blitzer say legumes. i've never heard that before. what do you think tonight? >> first it was vintage clinton. it was a great speech. he's wonderful to watch. he's wonderful to listen to. i found the structure of the speech kind of interesting. he started out talking about cooperation and the whole world is based on cooperation, things get done on cooperation, and then he proceeded to absolutely demonize republicans as being responsible for everything

no sugar, all of the food is organic and vegan. and this is really something for someone who is looking for a big, big life change and feels like everything has gotten to them. they have gotten slipped off the wagon right before the holiday, great time to do it. >> now, we want to leave the united states and let's go to central america. and let's head to costa rica where there's an incredible spa that readers love. >> and costa rica is so, so popular with our readership at travel and leisure. they love costa rica because of the proximity, because of the incredible natural mbuta, and this delivers a lot of it. not only are you in an incredibly gorgeous setting. you have a bird's eye view from every room of the volcano. so stunning. activities galore. zip lining, hiking, all of the cute animals from the rain forest. then they have this beautiful spa that they have recently built that they were so conscious in terms of ecology of the area they built it on a structure so it almost looks like it's floating in the middle of the rain fore

yoga studios, lots of electric cars with vegan on board bumper stickers, that kind of thing, i always make sure i'm wearing my american flag lapel pin somewhere really conspicuous. kind of a silly little game i play with myself, and with them, i know. i'm baiting them but for some reason i just can't help us all. liberals really hate is little american flag lapel pins. i'm not sure why they hate the america flag lapel pin. they hate it more than the american flag it seems to me. in the same neighbors you see the american flag flying high in some places. maybe because the lapel pin is smaller at eye level, it's in your face, his personal. it's in a place it is not usually found rather than the top of a flagstaff or next to a gift. i will be at the can with my purchases or asselin a question and i will see their eyes flicker from my face to my lapel and i will see that look, you know the look i'm talking about, hey, what's that? followed by a lauren. what's wrong with this guy? and wind it up with a shudder of disgust are probably some kind of american free. i bet he's one of those righ
