Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And good afternoon.
Well, it's afternoon in some parts of the country.
It's still morning in others.
And it's nighttime in other parts.
So greetings.
It's great to have you with us, my friends.
The award-winning, thrill-packed, ever-exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds Rush Limbaugh program on the EIB network.
It is Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
Yip, yahoo.
We got a lot to do today on Open Line Friday, as is always the case.
You know the phone number to call the program.
That's 800-282-2882.
Our email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
This is also a very special day for us because this is our 15th anniversary of participating in conducting the radio cur-a-thon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Together, we have raised countless millions of dollars over these years.
We've done it in good economic times and we've done it in hard economic times.
The people at the Leukemia Lymphoma Society are constantly in awe of all of you for all that you have been able to do, the outreach that you have made, the contributions and donations that you have made.
You are one of the, if not the, most loyal audiences in all of media.
I don't care whether it's movies, television, radio, music, or whatever.
Those of you in this audience have proven to be among the most loyal.
And I can't tell you how deeply appreciative and in awe of that I am myself.
We had a meeting yesterday.
You've heard about the Allen Brothers people, the, well, you know them as the hot dog people.
They are officially coming on board as sponsors on the 15th of May.
And I met the two principals, the father and son who own and operate the company yesterday.
Someday I'm going to tell you what you did to their company when I talked about their hot dogs that I served at the Super Bowl party.
You'll be stunned when I get to it.
But nevertheless, they also shared that they were just stunned with the outpouring of interest from all of you.
As we tell all of our new clients, the bond of loyalty that all of you have with this program and your sophisticated understanding of how this program works and how it stays on the air and so forth is probably the highest among other media audiences well.
So I wanted to mention all this and thank you in advance for the years past and get you up to speed on this year because it's our 15th anniversary for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Curathon.
This started 15 years ago and I'll tell you how it started.
I was doing my syndicated program out of the studios of our New York flagship WABC.
And back then, the Leukemia Society of America, as it was known then, had a series of day-long curathons on the ABC-owned and operated stations.
They would do one.
They might have done them the same day, but they were not linked.
They were done individually on each station in San Francisco and in New York and Dallas and I think in Washington.
And it came to me and said, look, you're not technically part of the local WABC crew on this day.
We give you an 800 phone number, will you plug our curathon a couple?
And I said, sure.
And it has evolved now that this is it.
This program is it now for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Curathon.
And we are happy and honored to be an exclusive radio participant with them on a national basis.
Now, I'll tell you about the leukemia.
And by the way, here's the phone.
I want you to write this down.
We've got a link to their website at rushlimbaugh.com.
You can donate online.
And if you'd rather do that, all your credit card information guaranteed to be kept secret.
Nobody will know, not even the National Security Agency will be able to find out with Bush's domestic spying program your credit card information.
We've taken steps to insulate this from the CIA and the Washington Post.
So you'll be totally safe.
Their number is 877-379 Rush.
877-379-Rush.
That Rush is 8888.
Now, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, this is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and education in patient services.
Their work is international.
They fund research at home and abroad.
Now, their mission is to cure.
And that's what we're trying to help accomplish today, to cure the blood cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
The fight's on.
There are 740,000 patients and their families living with these diseases today, as well as 110,000 newly diagnosed patients every year.
And during the course of this three-hour broadcast, 18 people will die of one of these cancers.
Leukemia, of all the cancers, is the number one cancer killer of children under the age of 20.
And the most common form of childhood leukemia has an overall survival rate today has risen to 86% since last year, since our last curathon.
So progress is being made, documented amazing progress.
Lymphoma, diagnosed in 63,000 Americans every year.
20,000 succumb to the disease.
The five-year survival rate has risen from 47% in 1974 to 60% today.
And for kids, I mean, the survival rate's now up to an amazing 96%.
Hodgkin's disease, today considered one of the most curable forms of blood cancers.
The five-year survival rate is now 85%, even higher for those under 20.
The five-year survival and cure rates for these diseases have improved markedly since the 70s.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's research has produced quick results.
Dr. Brian Druker, one of the first society-funded researchers, was responsible for the breakthrough drug Gleavec, about which more I'll be telling you during the course of the program.
A lot of information I want to pass on to you, but the bottom line is, you know what we're doing here.
We're attempting to continue to fund research and patient services for the people affected by this dreaded series of diseases, blood cancers.
And your participation, as you know, is appreciated beyond anybody's ability to express it.
As usual, folks, we have a couple premiums that we're throwing in here.
60 bucks will get you a special Rush Limbaugh t-shirt available only during the Curathon.
It's one size fits all.
And if you can come up with $300 or more, that'll get you a special Il Rushball golf shirt.
It's another one-of-a-kind shirt for the Curathon.
And these are sized.
These are available in small through XX, 2X, and you can choose the size that you want.
All major credit cards are accepted.
And as I say, your personal information will not be shared with any group.
So two ways to go about this, 877-379-8888 or rushlimbaugh.com.
Go there and you can log on and click on their link to their website and donate that way.
Now, as always, ladies and gentlemen, I never ask you to do things that I don't also do.
One of the things that's forever grated on me, I've been watching, not going to mention any names because there's so many of these.
You watch a telephone on TV and you have all these people just imploring you to care and to give.
And I've always watched these and I've always, well, what are you doing?
What are you, everybody exhorting everybody else to give money?
What are you doing?
And many times the answer is, well, well, I'm donating my time.
to the cause.
Well, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
We'll donate time here too.
But I always lead off with a contribution myself.
In fact, I made my contribution this year a couple of months ago.
And so I'm on board.
You think I'm be uncomfortable mentioning the amount, but it's in six figures and it's on par with what I have donated each year for the past five or six.
So I'm in there with you folks, leading the way, asking you to join us all day long today.
We'll be punctuating the program.
We're not going to go wall to wall with this.
There are other things, big issues out there.
Iran and nukes, Washington, all a tizzy.
This gas business is getting to be absurd now.
It's almost as absurd as the port deal was absurd.
It just, it's embarrassing to watch this.
It's just, as I mentioned yesterday, but nevertheless, we're going to be talking about a lot of things, audio soundbites to intersperse with your phone calls.
So here's the number, 877-379-8888.
Call that number.
And by the way, 60 bucks, 300 bucks.
Gas prices are high.
Everybody understands the additional economic pressures on people, despite the fact the economy is roaring.
Even greater news on that today, too.
But it doesn't take 60 or even 300 because there are so many of you.
If every one of you just sent in a buck today, we would set a one-day record.
It's all it would take.
Everybody just sent in $1.
$1, $5.
Every donation is appreciated as much as any other because they all add up.
We'll take a break and be back and continue with all the rest of the program right after this.
It's Open Line Friday with America's Anchorman, America's Truth Detector, America's Doctor of Democracy, America's harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Remember, 800-282-2882 is the number to call for the program, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Contribution number 877-379-8888.
Now, you know, Open Line Friday, Monday through Thursday, this program is totally devoted to what I care about.
But on Friday, when we go to the phones, it's your show.
Whatever you wish to talk about is what we talk about.
Let me grab a quick one here to get started.
Chris in Omaha, you're up first.
It's great to have you with us.
Hey, Rush, it's Chris calling from the Heartland here, Mega Dados.
Thank you.
How are you?
Good, sir.
Hey, I just wanted to call this morning.
You know, when my wife and I got this morning, she turned to me and she said, you better call Rush today.
And we're longtime listeners and big supporters of you.
And we've got two little boys with leukemia.
And it's been a long road for us.
But I just want to let you know that the things that you're doing and the things that all of the listeners have been doing over the years are definitely making a difference.
Well, they are.
And it's gratifying to hear from you.
I think the people in the audience who donate appreciate hearing from people like you because you're actually on the end of the stream here.
You're the one that you and your kids and your family are the ones that all this is aimed at and people like you.
And so people, I think, relish the opportunity to hear about the success.
How are your kids doing?
You know, Rush, they're doing really, really well.
Our eight-year-old Connor is going to be done with all of his treatment in August.
And it's been a long road, but like I said before, the things that you do, the things that everyone is doing to pursue, you know, this disease and other types of cancer is working.
And, you know, there will be a day coming soon where, you know, these cancers will just be a chronic disease.
And, you know, it's just, I can't say enough about what you're doing here.
It's near and dear to my heart.
And the things that people are doing, the donations that are made, I would just encourage folks to open up their pocketbooks today to this because it's making a difference.
Well, thank you, Chris, very much for the phone call.
The audience is doing a lion's share of the work here.
It's not difficult to sit here and tout the successes of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society because there are many.
In fact, the research into blood cancers has had so many ancillary effects on other types of cancers and diseases.
So the research in this field has been quite productive.
But you're very kind, and I'm sure everybody appreciates hearing from you.
Wish you the best.
And it sounds like that you have some good news to cling to, which makes everybody feel better.
Once again, that number is 877-379-8888.
Or just go to rushlimbaugh.com and find it.
It's very easy to find there at the top of the page to the Society of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, and you can donate online in that way.
Let's get to some news out there, folks, because there's a lot of it.
We've got a big day coming up on Monday.
Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1st will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform.
Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protest since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos nor their leaders were comfortable with such militancy.
They fear a backlash in middle America.
It'll be two to three million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone.
We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, and Fresno, said George Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it debates the issue.
And from California, California state senators on Thursday endorsed the boycott of schools and jobs and stores by illegal immigrants and their allies as supporters equated the protest with great social movements in American history.
It was a 24 to 13 vote.
It split along party lines.
The California Senate approved a resolution that calls the one-day protest the great American boycott of 2006 and describes it as an attempt to educate Americans about the tremendous contribution immigrants make on a daily basis to our society and economy.
Nobody disputes that.
They're going to try to educate us racist xenophobes, exactly right, about what it is that makes the country work.
Nobody's upset with immigrants.
But this is just stunning.
This is to tell you, in fact, I was talking with somebody the other day playing golf.
And somebody asked me, have you seen, there's a movie out there.
Have you seen a movie?
I forget the title of it, but the movie is about what would happen if all of the illegal immigrants in California weren't there.
The state would fall apart.
The state would cease to function.
The state would go to hell in a hand.
I said, who produced this?
I've never heard of this.
I wish I could remember the name of it.
So there's a push here, folks.
When you get a state Senate, the California State Senate Supporting this with an official resolution, a boycott of schools and everything.
This is the greatest illustration you could find of just how frightened politicians are of this in an election year.
And it's the party line split here, and it tells you the Democrats, what are they looking at here?
They're looking at votes.
Pure and simple.
This is going to be an amazing year because we've got some of the most ludicrous, ridiculous, embarrassing, pandering behavior by politicians I have ever seen on a host of issues.
From this gasoline business to illegal immigration to the ports deal, it's not stopping.
It's only going to get worse.
It's a constant barrage, daytime insult to our intelligence.
And it's all made to order for the drive-by media.
I mean, there's been a bunch of drive-bys happening here at the same time.
Oh, and let's not forget this.
This got people royal today.
British music producer Adam Kidron says that when he came up with the idea of a Spanish-language version of the national anthem, he saw it as an ode to the millions of immigrants seeking a better life.
But in the week since he announced the tune, which features artists such as Wyclef Jean, hip-hop star Pitt Bull, and Puerto Rican singers Carlos Ponce and Olga Tannen, it's been the target of a fierce backlash.
Really?
Internet bloggers and others are infuriated by the thought of the Star-Spangled Banner sung in a language other than English.
Would the French accept people singing La Marseille in English as a sign of French patriotism?
Of course not, said Mark Krikorian, who is head of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies.
Now, we hear all this talk that they're a little bit worried about a backlash.
They can't possibly be worried about a backlash.
All this talk that some people are worried, might be a few of them worried about a backlash, but this is an in-your-face, just like the first one was.
We demand to be exempt from your laws or else.
And we have the power behind us because the Democrats are with us.
We'll be back after this.
That's right, my friends.
Learn it.
Love it.
Live it.
It's Open Line Friday.
It's the 15th anniversary of our Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Radio Curathon, the 15th year that we have done this.
Telephone number, if you'd like to donate, 877-379-8888.
Now, look, folks, let me hit you between the eyes on something here.
I know that there are economic pressures out there that you are feeling.
Gasoline prices, for one thing, are up.
I could sit here and I could be a tough guy, and I could say, I don't care about any of that.
I'm not going to accept that as an excuse, but I'm not going to say that to you because I'm a compassionate and warm-hearted guy.
The important point is it doesn't take a lot.
There's so many of you in this audience, as I said a moment ago, if you just pony up a buck or five bucks, how hard is it to go to phone call, go to the phone, or go to a website and commit to $1 or $5, $10, whatever.
You don't have to do $30, you don't have to do $60 or $300 or whatever.
We have golf shirt premiums for $60 and $300 donations.
But this is going to be strength in numbers this year in order to eclipse last year's effort, $877-379-8888 to cure leukemia.
And I just want to tell you one more thing here about the ancillary effects that are deriving benefits from research into leukemia and lymphoma.
Dr. Brian Drucker, as I told you, one of the first society-funded researchers was responsible for the breakthrough drug, Gleevec.
Now, this is a drug that has helped turn certain cancers that might have been fatal into just chronic conditions for many patients.
It's been approved for the treatment of three other cancers now.
And since last year, since our last broadcast, clinical studies at the UCLA School of Medicine on an agent for those resistant to Gleevec is showing tremendous promise.
So you can see research by the society has applications beyond blood cancers too.
Remember, bone marrow transplants, those were pioneered by researchers for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
And this year, the society will commit $50 million to research alone.
75% of every dollar collected gets distributed to research.
75%.
It's one of the greatest and most efficient charitable organizations that you can contribute to.
And I've got to know these people.
The same people have been there for 15 years.
They've all been affected personally by this disease.
They have either lost family members or currently have family members who are suffering the disease or they themselves are or are have.
And they have decided a long time ago to donate their time to this because it matters and they care.
It's not just a job to them.
This is become their life's calling.
And it's been a sheer pleasure to get to know them.
I marvel at people committed to anything.
The level of commitment these people have is infectious.
I've gotten to know them quite well.
And they're just fine people.
You can't go wrong by helping out this particular program, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society of America, 877-379-8888.
Mexican lawmakers, in case you haven't heard this, Mexican lawmakers issued a declaration of support for immigrant protest planned on Monday, said they're going to send a delegation to L.A. to show their solidarity.
We need to revive the limb ball laws.
You try this down in Mexico, you are in jail.
You would not get past your first flyer posted on a phone poll announcing your protests without some authority, federale, coming to round you up and throw you in some stinking rotten jail.
The Mexican Lawmaker Declaration, issued late Thursday by all the political parties in the lower house of Congress, contrasts with the position of Mexico's Foreign Department, which has said that it will discipline any consular officials who take part in the protests.
The delegation of lawmakers is going to meet with the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaragosa.
The only thing we're looking for is to end this dehumanizing situation and get the recognition of the migrant labor force, said federal deputy Maria Garcia.
People who go looking for work should not be treated like criminals with the risk of being tried in federal courts.
Well, interesting for you to say that.
Try it in Mexico and see what happens.
You do just that, and you are in jail.
Now, some politics of this.
Here's some things that you will not see in the drive-by media.
There's a Rasmussen poll.
And they went out and they constructed a poll based on a third-party candidacy driven into a third-party candidacy by the immigration issue.
A third-party candidate who promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration his top priority beats the generic Republican nominee by nine points, 30 to 21, runs practically even with the generic Democrat nominee who gets 31%.
The border-centric third-party candidacy actually takes more votes from the Democrat side than the Republican side, but it draws heavily from both parties and as heavily from moderates as from conservatives.
So Rasmussen went out there and just did a generic poll and made up a third-party candidate who had immigration, border security, and offense as his number one priority.
And that candidate beats the generic Republican nominee by nine points and is, of course, practically even with the Democrat in the generic poll.
So we'll see if the word of this Rasmussen poll spreads to both political parties and see if it does, how it affects them, since they're all so poll-driven, particularly in an election year.
Darren from George Mason, University in Washington, welcome to the program.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks a lot for taking my call.
You bet.
I just wanted to bring up today, I want to ask you and get your opinion on, you know, this week, the Senate and the House debated the bill that the president sent for the emergency supplemental to fund Iraq and Hurricane Katrina relief.
And the Senate beefed up that bill by almost $15 billion, of which there was $15 million in there for pork, for seafood marketing.
And I mean, I really think the Republican Party has really abandoned its principles here in spending.
And do you think the base of the Republican Party, are they really upset over this out-of-control spending?
I read it in the paper, but I don't think I believe it.
You don't believe the Republican base is that upset over the spending?
Correct.
Well, it's hard to really know.
I mean, I know that it's not just that.
The Republican base is upset about a lot of things.
And if you combine them, you have some real concern.
They're upset about immigration.
They are upset over the spending, of course.
They're upset over a couple of other things.
And it's still early.
And I think predicting vote turnout based on what's happening now is risky because there are going to be profound things that happen between now and November, things that will make what's happening today be forgotten.
It's an election year, and whatever politicians figure out are their big problems, they'll try to fix it somehow, like they're trying to with gasoline prices, they're trying to with illegal immigration, like they're trying to just come up with words and phrases that solve everybody and not solve, but satisfy everybody, but don't actually accomplish anything.
I think that, you know, you talk about that bill.
There's an aspect of that bill that upset me more than the 15 million because we knew that's going to happen.
I mean, these guys are who they are.
Republicans in the Senate decided from the Iraq funding bill to take $1.9 billion of it and send it to Hurricane Katrina relief.
And it set up like an either-or situation.
I'm scratching my head.
I say, folks, we can't do both.
We can't do both at the same time.
We're funding the war in Iraq, the war on terror.
We've got to take from that in order.
Now, why do that?
I'll tell you why do that, because this is a bunch of Republicans trying to appeal to these mythical moderates and liberals who are getting all over Bush on Katrina, and the Republicans don't want to be anywhere near Bush on Katrina.
So they're trying to distance themselves from Bush by saying, we'll take money away from the war because we know you hate the war and you don't believe in it.
And we'll give it to Katrina relief.
$1.9 billion chump change, a symbolic effort.
The idea that we can't do both in this country with the amount of money we've already committed to spend on Hurricane Katrina is just outrageous.
I just, Mark, I hate to tell you here, but what you need to do is really understand that it's an election year and there's going to be far more of this darren, yeah, far more of this inexplicable stuff that'll make total sense when you put it in the spectrum in the context of it being a political year.
I got to go quick time out.
We'll be back and continue in just a moment.
Well, it's not a surprise, but the International Atomic Energy Agency led by Mohamed AlBaradai has confirmed that Iran has accelerated its uranium enrichment.
Now, this is the UN saying this.
It's not George W. Bush.
It's not CIA.
It's not Valerie Wilson.
It's not Joe Plame, whatever, Joe Wilson.
This is a UN saying this.
And, of course, Ahmadinejad said, we don't care if you come up with any resolution.
We're going to ignore the hell out of you.
We don't give a damn what you say.
We don't give a damn what you do.
Screw you.
Screw the UN.
Screw France.
Screw Germany.
Screw Israel.
Screw the United States.
Screw Bush.
Screw all of you.
This is not.
It's funny, but it's not.
This guy actually thinks he is in office to preside over the destruction of Western civilization and bring back the 12th Imam, which he's got missiles point.
Yeah, they've got missiles that get to Europe and they're pointed there.
These are not nuclear-tipped, but they're there.
So this is a serious thing to deal with.
It will be interesting to watch, as always.
One more thing here before we get back to your phone calls here on Open Line Friday regarding the Curathon, Leukemia, and Lymphoma Society Curathon.
I also want to thank all of you in the audience for another thing.
I know that whenever I drift away from the quote-unquote issues, for example, if I discuss a fun day on the golf course or give you details of a fun thing I did on vacation, I get hate mail.
I'll not hide that fact.
I get hate mail from supporters saying, if you're going to keep talking about this, I'm going to tune out.
No, I'll be back when you finish.
Stick to the issues, blah, blah, blah.
Well, I want to thank you for indulging our efforts here to come up with a cure for the dreaded blood cancers-related diseases that we do once a year.
When you stop and think of this, I want to give you an idea of just how powerful you are.
We have raised well over in 15 years.
Now, this is our 15th year, so in 14 years, we have raised, I forget the exact number, but it's, for some of it, it strikes me as a little over $15 million.
What's amazing about this is we do it one day a year, and we don't even go all three hours wall to wall with it.
The amount of time that we spend on this in the course of the three hours may add up to 45 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes.
It's over $14 million in 15 years.
And of course, the amounts were much smaller at the beginning.
They've ballooned and become huge in the last five years, over $14 million here.
And one day a year, three hours a year, less than three hours a year.
Do you realize there are other fundraising organizations that will not believe that?
They will spend an entire year or month raising that.
And that is a testament to all of you.
And the fact that you are willing to stay tuned to the program this one day a year when we make this effort and combine it with our normal award-winning presentation on the program is very gratifying to me.
I have yet to receive, I will now since I'm going to mention, I have yet to receive an email during a curathon.
Hey, Rush, shut up and get back to the issues.
These are desperate times.
Now I will, since I've said I've not, but anybody who sends me one of those now, I will know you're joking, and I will not believe you.
It has been an exciting time to be part of all this.
And we were talking about this last year.
All the hard work and dedication, along with your generosity, has really started producing results.
And get this.
As it turns out, many of the breakthroughs that we're starting to see today that I've detailed for you in this first hour began about the time we became a part of the fight against blood cancers 15 years ago.
Your donations were part of the seed money that led to these advances.
So much progress has happened.
The cure gets closer every day.
And it's all because of you.
It's 877-379-8888.
It's a simple phone call.
And by the way, this number is active throughout the weekend, is it not?
I think as it always is, the number is active through the weekend.
877-379-8888.
Or just go to rushlimbaugh.com.
And if you go to rushlimbaugh.com, you can see the fantastic premiums we're offering with minimum donations of $60 or $300.
Mark Bethesda, Maryland, welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Good afternoon from the People's Republic of Bethesda, Maryland.
The reason I was calling is about this national anthem thing in Spanish.
It doesn't sit too well with me.
These people are coming to this country, and they've already aggravated enough people by what's going to happen on Monday with this, whatever it's called, May Day thing.
And I already heard some chicken plants, I think, either here or in Arkansas are going to be shutting down for the day.
And now, I only wonder what Theodore Roosevelt has said, and I know the quote, I don't know, I've heard the quote and read the quote over and over.
It seems like they don't want to become Americans.
I would not have a problem, however.
I'm not saying to them give up their culture if they wanted to play first the American national anthem in English.
And if they wanted to play the Mexican national anthem, that's fine.
That's still part of their culture.
Yeah.
Well, you hit the nail on the head here with something, Mark, and it's this.
Immigration has always been a specific thing, and there's a formula.
And it is this.
People come here from faraway lands for whatever reasons to seek a better life.
In seeking a better life, they seek to become Americans, which means assimilating and acculturating into the great American culture.
They have not come here just for jobs, to send the money home.
They have come here to become Americans.
The problem here is that as these protests indicate, and as the Star-Spangled Banner indicates in Spanish, and as a number of other indications are obvious, this aspect, this wave of illegal immigrants do not really indicate they want to become Americans.
They don't want to be immigrants.
They want to be legal so they can get jobs.
The country is just a job market to them.
And it's a big distinction because without the acculturation and the assimilation, we're just going to end up balkanizing the society.
And when they choose May 1, Soviet May Day, to go out and protest and basically shout and get in our faces and then purposely try to cause a backlash and demand to be exempted from our laws.
This is not immigration that's going on here.
And that's, I think we do this a disservice by referring to it as an immigration issue.
It's not that.
We'll be back in just a sec.
Stay with us.
I knew it.
I am so proud of you, people.
We are tracking even, almost exactly even with our donations from last year, despite the drive-by media mangled crises in the economy out there.
