Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I tell you, I haven't seen a drive-by media.
This shook up in, well, three days.
They're terrified that the Cuban healthcare system is now in jeopardy.
Of course, it's the best healthcare system in the world.
And Fidel Castro, they say he's got colon cancer.
I can't tell you who they are, but I know some of they.
And they say it's colon cancer.
And Drive-By Media is terrified here.
And this idiot brother of his, not only a drunk, but a madman.
Greetings.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB.
Let him sue me for slander.
Let them prove it I don't know what I'm talking about.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the big program today, the email address rush at EIBnet.com.
So I got in here today and I'm minding my own business as I always do.
I hole up here in my massive complex, a combination studio and office.
By the way, welcome to those of you watching on the DittoCam at RushLimbaugh.com.
And I said about the business of commencing show prep, and I get this little email from Cookie up in New York.
Congratulations on your anniversary.
And I said, I'm going to stop and think, what an anniversary.
And this is it.
This is August 1st.
This is the day that this program started back in 1988.
So today's the 18th anniversary, and we're starting our 19th year.
But actually, this program is four years older than that because this program, I mean, the foundation for this program was done at KFBK in Sacramento for four years.
And basically, the same program says 22 years for me, 18 for you, 22 for those in Northern California.
And I totally forgot it.
I was, you know, 18th, it's between the 15th and 20th.
Plus, there's a lot going on out there, folks.
And I was prepping for it.
Let's get started with that.
Well, no, let me do one thing about this anniversary business.
Let me just thank all of you for making it all possible because that's the secret to it all is that you have been there in these tremendous numbers, depth of loyalty, unseen in major American media, 18 years like this.
And now we know that you are the most knowledgeable broadcast audience in America, according to the Pew Research Center for People in the Press.
So thank you very much.
Let's start with the audio sound type soundbites.
And this is in Detroit.
Yesterday, WDIV-TV, it's a program called Flashpoint with the host Devin Sillian.
His guest is John Dingell, who is the ranking Democrat in terms of seniority in the House of Representatives, the ranking Democrat.
And they're talking about Israel and the Hezbollahs, a group that the United States and the United Nations have deemed a terrorist organization, and that there's only one side for the Americans to come down on in this fight.
And Dingell says.
First of all, I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah or for or against Israel.
You're not against Hezbollah.
No.
Can we go back to July 26th, less than one week ago, Howard Dean in West Palm Beach here?
Well, across the bridge, we were saved from him by a moat.
But he was over there talking to a bunch of business leaders, and this is what he said.
The Iraqi prime minister is an anti-Semite.
We don't need to spend $200 and $300 and $500 billion bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hezbollah.
See, and I said to you when he said this, I said, Chairman Dean, then there are a bunch of Democrats that don't have the right to speak in the House of Representatives, according to you, who are also anti-Semites.
And I guess we can count Congressman Dingell as one of them who refuses to condemn them.
Now, I know he's from Michigan, and I know that there's a large population of Lebanese Americans and Muslims there, but it's a terrorist organization.
So deemed by the United States and any other group of people around the world other than fellow terrorist organizations.
And this gets no mainstream media coverage, folks.
No drive-by media coverage at all.
It was obviously covered in Detroit.
There's some bloggers who've touched on it.
But no drive-by media coverage.
Compare this, though, to Mel Gibson.
This guy is the senior Democrat in the House of Representatives and would be a Commerce Committee chairman if these clowns win back the House of Representatives.
Mel Gibson is a Hollywood actor.
He made some despicable comments.
He's now apologized.
And he's even asked the Jewish community in his latest statement for help in overcoming his alcoholism.
Fine and dandy.
Dingell is an elected senior member of the Democratic Party.
I'm not excusing Mel Gibson here, but where is all the criticism?
Howard Dean himself has defined anti-Semites, and John Dingell is one, according to the Democrat National Committee Chairman's own definition.
I just wanted to mention this because nobody else is talking about it.
Something else here.
You know, I'm amazed at the number of kooks who believe that 9-11 was staged.
And believe me, they are out there.
I have seen some of these wacko movies that these people have produced on the internet.
I have watched them because I like to get a bead on what kind of kookery is out there because this program speaks truth to kooks.
And there are people who think an airplane did not hit the Pentagon, and that even though two airplanes did hit the trade center towers, that they were actually brought down not by the airplanes, but by demolition charges.
And that the government did this on purpose to get the people of the country on a war footing to support bigger and powerful military spending and establishments and so forth.
And they genuinely believe this.
And you can, it's not just kookery, by the way, the poet laureate of New Jersey.
What was his name?
Arim Bakari.
What was his name?
The poet Manu Dabongo.
That's it.
The poet laureate of New Jersey.
Manu Dabongo.
He was always used to name.
Yeah, but Leroy Jones.
The poet laureate of New Jersey, Leroy Jones, came out and said the Jews blew up the World Trade Center.
Did it?
The government knew all about it.
That's why all the Jews got out of there before the planes hit.
Now, you might say to Leroy Jones, Manu Dabongo, the poet laureate of New Jersey is a kook.
But there are plenty of people that believe this story, and some of them are not just kooks.
But regardless, I'm amazed at the number of people who believe that 9-11 was staged and don't even ask if what happened at Kana was staged.
Same event, by the way, same town 10 years ago, same kind of incident.
Same guy holding the same body for how many hours.
The scuttlebutt that some of these pictures are from 10 years ago show the same guy holding up victims then.
I haven't been able to nail that down.
And more and more people are beginning to think that the Hezbollahs actually brought down the building themselves because the building stood for seven to eight hours after the Israeli strike.
Now, this is a classic illustration of how the drive-by media works.
Also, I should tell you that the Red Cross has published that only 28 corpses were evacuated from Khanna.
Contrary to Lebanese reports, that 57 people were killed.
Red Cross announced on Monday 28 bodies, including those of 19 children, had been found at the site of the Khan of Blast.
Additional bodies are expected to be found over the coming days.
Now, have you noticed that more and more doubt about this story is being raised?
I told you yesterday I think this is suspiciously just like the Hurricane Katrina coverage in that aftermath.
The initial reporting was dead wrong on so many fronts.
And that storyline remains true, even though it has been debunked.
There weren't any murders, all those rapes and so forth in the superdome.
None of it happened.
And yet, drive-by media without any accountability, including self-accountability, has not corrected the record.
They're still handing themselves Pulitzers for this.
Same circumstance here in Khanna.
The evidence is beginning to mount that this whole thing was staged.
And by the way, about this, one other thing, we talked yesterday, and I know some of you, I read your emails and some of you were stunned at how directly I spoke regarding the concept of civilian deaths.
Well, we're in a battle here with a bunch of terrorists, and we know how they operate.
We know that they blow their own kids up.
We know that they teach them how to do it.
We know that they consider the death of their own children a victory.
Why is it so hard to believe that they would murder 28 or 57 of their own in order to gain a PR advantage when that's the main weapon that they have, not being a strong military power?
What is so hard to believe?
Where's the stretch?
Group of people straps bombs on their kids, decides to blow up 57 of their own citizens or 28 and announce it as 57 and then parade the corpses around to various photographers?
What's so hard to believe that?
Now, if you're in a battle with people like that, what do you do?
You have to understand that's who they are and that's how they fight.
And you might even say, you might have to say, if you're just a straight and objective analyst of the war, based on how this has all fallen out, you'd have to say that if the Hezbollahs did indeed end up bringing down their own building and ended up killing 28 of their own people, including 19 children, you'd have to say it was a smart move.
You'd have to say it was a tactical move that was very smart.
Look what it got them.
It got them a great PR victory.
To them, that matters.
More and more stories about how the Israelis are losing this.
I'm beginning to have my doubts about this, by the way.
I think the Israelis are performing a, well, I'm not going to characterize it, but I think they're accomplishing much more, and there's a much more strategic plan underway than might appear to be the case on the surface.
But I mean, look, the evidence is mounting.
And notice how the great drive-by media in our country just accepted whatever the enemy told them and showed them and ran with it.
Notice how they are completely ignoring the facts about the Club Gitmo story that we had for you yesterday afternoon before the end of the program.
It was the guards being tortured by the inmates.
Nobody's picked up the story.
Washington Times has it.
They're just running the AP version.
It has not made a dent because it doesn't follow the action line of the original story that the U.S. is guilty of torture, that Bush is responsible for it.
So, once again, we have just a classic example here in Khanna of how the drive-by media works.
Show up on the scene of a disaster, in this case, not caused by the drive-by media, but show up.
You take one side's version of it and you broadcast that all over the world.
You don't question it.
You don't doubt it.
You pronounce guilt and innocence in the circumstance, and then right down the road, you go on to the next story to commit the same act.
Why haven't they demanded an investigation?
Now that there are conflicting reports about how these people in Khanna actually died, why aren't the people who are supposed to be the most curious among us highly trained professional journalists demanding an investigation?
Why do they wait to have their information spooed fed to them by the enemy?
And as I said yesterday, it's because they don't want the facts.
We're not dealing with reality here in this war or this skirmish.
The action line here is that Israel uses disproportionate force that doesn't care a whit about killing innocent women and children.
The U.S. is bogged down in Iraq.
That's horrible.
The detainees at Club Gitmo are victims and we use torture on them.
And the world is threatened and imperiled, particularly healthcare, because of the illness of Fidel Castro.
Back in a second.
Ha!
How are you?
El Rushball, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all concerned.
Maha Rushi talking to the most knowledgeable audience in broadcast media, as determined by the Pew Research Center for People in the Press.
Details yesterday, they are on our website at www.rushlimbaugh.com.
So there's a lot of writing out there today.
I've noticed it all over the place.
And I, by the way, I'm not going to distance myself from this.
Even yesterday, when I was talking to the former prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, I myself asked him, I said, this doesn't seem to be the same old Israel.
I used to be going there and wipe these guys out in six or seven days.
Is there less resolve and so forth?
And he did not want to answer it in the context of that question because they are trying to present a united front, everybody fully supporting the government in this wall.
And I remember saying to him, I said, I'm not trying to interrupt that because I wish I knew what it was like.
We don't have that in this country.
But there are more and more people starting to say, and later in the interview, by the way, he did, I think, answer the question by saying, power, projection of power, shortens the duration.
The more power, the less duration.
It'd be, in my mind, I'm prejudiced, obviously, but he'd be a great prime minister again should the opportunity avail itself.
But more and more people are beginning to write about how the Israelis are losing this.
And you know what I think this is?
I think the vast majority of it, and I hate to say this, makes me mad to say this, but I think the vast majority of the writing out there from people who think Israel's losing, I think they're just responding to drive-by media reports.
And I have to tell you, there's no exception.
I don't care where you go.
It's all not very good.
Not very accurate.
It's all still aimed at.
Israel is the SOB, Israel's mean, Hezbollah, the Lebanese people, just innocent, clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
And I just, I think a lot of people can't help it.
They just fall prey to the media bubble on a daily basis.
And we've talked about this before.
Sometimes even I, your guiding light through times like this, fall prey to it too.
And I have to slap myself like that to come around.
And I do.
And that's when I warn you, folks, we're getting sucked in here to another media bubble.
Bottom line is this.
Here's what I think's going on.
I said this at the outset, too.
I think that there is a strategy going on.
The fighting right now is raging as intensely as it has since this whole thing began.
I mean, even as we speak, the strategy always has been to encircle the Hezbo's and cut them off, destroy their lines of communication, destroy their lines of redistribution, the infrastructure, the ability to get resupplied, and so forth, and then go in and destroy them.
I think, and I say this for two reasons.
One, because when I see every news outlet report the same thing, it's like a conventional wisdom is formed.
And I instinctively go the other way.
The second reason I think this is because I love the Israelis and I don't think they've changed, and I have great confidence.
And I really believe that they are making more headway than we know.
And I think that is part of the strategy.
The reporting from that area is extremely poor.
Most of the reporting is enemy propaganda on scales a little smaller than the outrage that we saw coming out of Khanna.
So it's actually very hard to know.
But there may be more progress than we know.
And one of the reasons I say that, ladies and gentlemen, holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers the Syrian president.
Oh, and that's another thing.
Every person in the drive-by media is saying that Fidel Castro Ruse has transferred his presidential powers.
He is not a president.
Nobody elected him.
He's a dictator.
He transferred his tyranny to his brother, Raul.
He transferred his dictatorship to his brother, Raul.
Anyway, we'll get more on that as we get back from the break.
But Basher Assad, the president of Syria, has told the Syrian military to raise its readiness, pledging not to abandon support for Lebanese resistance inside or against Israel.
Listen, Lebanese resistance.
You know what the resistance in World War II was those who opposed the Nazis in countries the Nazis were trying to invade and conquer.
The French resistance and so forth.
I know a guy in the French resistance blew up a bunch of bridges, members of a couple country clubs with me, Prince Bourbon.
And great, great guy, he was part of the French resistance.
So now, note the way words work: the Lebanese resistance, resisting the ongoing slaughterhouse, if you will, of Israel.
Back in just a moment.
Drive-by media can breathe easier now.
The Al Reuters news agency reporting that Castro recovering positively after surgery.
Greetings and welcome back.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
A couple of emails I got during the break.
Dear Rush, lucky today is not our wedding anniversary.
You'd be sleeping on the sofa all night.
It's the 18th anniversary of the program.
Figures after 18 years of marriage, the husband sleeps on the sofa.
I can understand that.
But she finishes it, or you'd be up all night delighting me.
See, I'd be up all night delighting her, or I would be on the sofa.
She's just an inanimate object there.
Hi, Rush.
Happy 18th anniversary of your national syndication.
Quick question.
What company is the widescreen computer monitor you use at the Florida Broadcast Complex made by?
That's a 30-inch cinema display made by Apple.
I don't know who actually makes it, but it's sold by Apple.
I saw that.
PMS NBC is requesting that Castro Castro has requested that his 80th birthday celebration be postponed until December.
But that's because, you know why that is?
It's the anniversary of the arrival of a grandma, or some sort of anniversary of something.
Maybe when he came down from the hills and took over things in 19th.
It's the anniversary of something.
It has nothing to do with his health.
Well, I mean, it might, but anyway, whatever, his recovery is going to be long, even though it is, what'd they say, recovering going well, recovery going positively?
Once you'd hear some of the drive-by media who were all shook up by the Castro news, here is ABC's Martin Bashir, Greta Van Susteren, Jim Acosta of CBS, Larry King, Harris Faulkner of Fox News, and CNN's Randy Kay, whoever that is.
President Fidel Castro has undergone surgery and has transferred presidential powers to his brother.
Cuban President Fidel Castro has handed presidential powers to his brother.
Powers will be handed to his brother Raul.
Cuban President Fidel Castro has provisionally handed over power to his brother Raul.
Fidel Castro is turning over presidential powers to his brother Castro, who delegated his presidential powers to his younger brother, Raul.
There's no such thing as presidential powers.
He's a dictator.
He transferred his tyranny to his brother Raul.
Once again, you see, I'll bet you that's a wire report, and it was the first that they had heard of it.
They're all reading from the same report.
Here from the early show on CBS this morning, a portion of a report by the reporter Portia Siegelbaum.
The news of Castro's illness was totally unexpected.
I talked to half a dozen people last night, and they seem most shook up by his handing over power, even if provisionally, to his younger brother, Raul.
Okay.
You know, I just, there is, we got sympathy for Hezbollah.
We got puff piece profiles on Sheikh Noshair Nasrallah.
We've got Osama bin Laden is, you know, and Zawahiri.
These guys do great things for their people.
We read about marvelous things done by Bashur Assad and so forth.
Of course, George W. Bush equals Hitler.
And now the drive-by media quaking in its boots and panicked over the impending death, if that's what it is, of Fidel Castro.
Rumors are running rampant, by the way, down in Miami, little Havana.
There's 600,000, 650,000 Cuban Americans down there, many of them Cuban exiles.
And some of them on the street are saying Castro was already dead, and they're preparing to tell the people very slowly.
It's hard to pin down virtually anything when it comes out of a closed society.
I remember, let's say, what was the line I used?
I have to forget it.
Remember when the Soviet Politburo, when Mao Zitong was alive, and well, nobody knew if he was alive.
And they published pictures of him swinging or swimming in some rapids of a river with just his head exposed.
And of course, it looked like a Photoshop before there was Photoshop.
And then there were these guys in his cabinet, like Madame Mao, and she was the one to look out for.
And then you had Lin Piau and so forth.
But anyway, we never saw pictures of these people.
Very rarely.
They were just hidden.
And so nobody really knew whether they were alive or dead.
Now, as to this Raul Castro, who is five years younger than Fidel, all kinds of things are being said about Raul.
One of the things is that he's more extreme than even his brother.
You know, I have to tell you here, folks, I think that is PR and spin.
You can't get more extreme than Castro.
You can't have any more prisons.
You can't have any more torture chambers.
You can't have any more political prisoners.
You can't have any greater destruction of a beautiful country than has been committed by Fidel Castro.
There can't be anybody that is significantly worse, maybe on the margins.
Maybe the guy's a little wacko.
It'll kill people on the street instead of sending them to a prison and a torture chamber to do it.
But it's all this is PR and spin.
And of course, once again, it's the way the drive-by media reacts to it.
Well, you know, we ought to hope Castro survives because his brother, Raul, he's even worse.
And actually, I think it's probably not true.
Raul runs the military.
What suffices is a military down there?
He's got all these medals and he's got all these stars on his epaulets.
But it's a joke.
It's like a toy communism little country here that just mistreats its people.
You take a look at this country, folks.
I mean, other than whatever the leadership's getting around in, do you know that the most common vehicle down there, other than a Rick Shaw or something like that, is a 1957 Chevy?
It is just amazing how he's destroyed the country.
Castro's totally destroyed it.
Brother Raul couldn't do any significantly thing, a significant thing that would be singularly worse.
I've heard, and I've been interested in Cuba for many, many moons.
A little Indian lingo there.
And I have heard that Raul is actually more open to the Chinese Chikom method of maintaining control.
And that is tough dictatorial control over the people, but a loosening of economic standards at the same time.
I'm told that Raul is intrigued by that.
I've also heard that Raul will not last a week if Fidel is ever dead.
That there will be all kinds of hell.
But here's what you better be on the lookout for.
And I don't know that anybody out there, it could well be that this is being speculated on, but I just haven't seen it.
But there's a story I have in the stack.
The U.S. says, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got a plan.
We got a plan to deal with the aftermath of Fidel Castro.
I don't doubt that we do.
I just don't know how old it is.
There are, in fact, there are many plans.
There's a whole lot of really complicated financial things that have to be taken care of if and when that regime ever falls.
But there is a new player on the stage, and his name is Hugo Chavez.
And I think that changes this picture totally.
And I'm talking about after Castro assumes room temperature and Raul botches it up, there's going to be trying to make this an orderly and smooth transition, but these kind of things probably aren't going to work out the way the Cubans have it planned out.
Lurking down there is Hugo Chavez, who would love nothing more than a staging base to threaten us much closer than his native Venezuela.
So factor that in as you ponder what the future is for Cuba.
Here is Yellow in West Palm Beach.
In fact, welcome to the program.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
Good to be with you.
I'd like to make you the official interpreter of Israeli Middle East policy.
You're great.
We'd love you.
Thank you, sir.
Very much.
I appreciate that.
Perhaps you can come visit my congregation.
I'm a rabbi in South Florida.
I've got a couple thousand people, mostly Democrats.
And one thing that GW has done is bring them both together with regard to what's happening in this Third World War.
There's no question about it.
You're right on target.
And I might say that George Bush Sr. didn't do it the way George W. Bush Jr. did it.
Because if you'll remember back, I used to be an analyst for USA Today.
I used to write a column.
And I dug out some articles from 1982 about Senior.
And the same thing applies today.
What he did was put James Baker on the scene to try to get people to talk to one another.
And what happened was it gave Palestinians an opportunity to rearm.
The famous hudna.
It doesn't mean ceasefire.
It means get the ball going again when there's a lull.
And I wrote the same thing in 1990 in USA Today.
TLO terrorists who attacked Tel Aviv people were by their sponsors for attempting murder.
And Baker, at that time, gave time to the PLO for a hint of remorse.
And then Yasser Arafat did it again.
Well, you know, and I was just watching Yellen.
I was just watching some pictures.
In fact, CNN did this.
And they were trying, I'm sure, to show greatness.
They were trying to illustrate how this should be done.
And what it was was a series of meetings that Bill Clinton had with Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, and then Arafat and Ehud Barak.
And it just made, I was getting mad watching this stuff because I'm watching the architects and failure of all this and no doubt being credited on CNN with how it should be done.
This is diplomacy in action, and this is how you do it.
One thing about Bush 41 versus 43, Bush 41 never declared war on terror.
Bush 43 has.
And along those lines, I'm going to give you another theory, folks, based on what I see as reality.
I try to remove myself from the media bubble as often as possible because I do not like having to slap my face to get back into reality.
I've already had to do it twice today.
I don't like doing it.
I think, despite all the words, despite what the French are saying, and despite the usual suspects, have you noticed that nobody, nobody is actually taking action against the Israelis to make them stop this?
We got a lot of words.
They got a lot of condemnations.
They got a lot of warnings.
But nobody's moved in there.
The Saudis haven't sent anybody in.
The Egyptians haven't sent anybody in.
The Lebanese army's not even in.
I'm telling you, there's much more going on here beneath the scenes of the Drive-By Media Foundation than we know.
And I think that part and parcel of that is the United States.
While Condi Rice is being portrayed as a failure, it's all over the Washington Post, New York Times today, that she's flying back yesterday or Sunday, well, yesterday from the region over the Atlantic, no doubt head in her hands.
Another diplomatic mission failed.
I think they're laughing themselves silly at the White House.
This is not a diplomatic mission, folks, and it never has been.
I think Condoleezza Rice has been over there behind closed doors telling them, here's what's going to happen this time.
Here's what's going to go on this time.
And if you want to stop it, go out there and say so.
I don't think there's been any attempt at real diplomacy other than us, the president and Condoleezza Rice, telling these people how it's going to be, and nobody is really doing anything to stop the Israelis.
You got some PR moves by the Hezbos, and you have some words, but Israel's free to do what they want to do.
There is nobody really putting stops on it.
The biggest obstacles, once again, we get this guy, Chuck Hagel, who's worried about the U.S. image, and now Richard Luger is calling for Bush was Hegel.
Hegel wants to send Colin Powell over there as a James Baker-type envoy.
It won't happen, folks.
It ain't.
You think it's going to happen?
No, it's not going to happen.
There's more going on here than meets the eye.
Trust me.
Israel, once again, with the act of compassion, warning civilians to leave their villages in Lebanon near the Litani River before they get leveled.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, 800-282-2882.
And the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
I, of course, a living legend.
You, of course, the most knowledgeable audience in all of broadcast media.
Senator Schumer has shifted now, said that they're not going to filibuster the nomination of John Bolton to be permanent United Nations.
Well, before I explain to you what happened, what are we supposed to do?
Say thank you, Senator Schumer.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Senator.
The Senate will not filibuster.
Well, Senator, it's not about thanking you.
It's about the fact you couldn't defeat the guy right now if you had to.
What Schumer said, what Schumer said basically was he's been good on Israel.
He's not been good on a whole lot of other things, but he's good on Israel.
And so I am going to vote to confirm him.
Now, the Schumer position allows Democrats to vote no on the nomination itself to preserve their multilateralist commitments in opposition to all things Bush, but not to show this by voting for a filibuster.
I think what's happening here, and of course, you know, I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
I never do, ladies and gentlemen.
There is a political result.
The media has always got there looking for the political angle of things.
Well, let me give you one.
There is a definite, definite political reaction and effect that comes with the awesome and strong support of Israel by the Bush administration.
There are a lot of Democrat voters who do have Israel as their primary concern, both Jews and non-Jews.
And this is galvanizing, I think, some support for the administration amongst several liberal groups who do hold Israel as the most important thing in their day.
And Senator Schumer would certainly be in a position to know this.
So in the case of a Democrat making a decision like this, you have to go and look at the political reasons for it.
Their opposition to Bolton was political in the first place, not substantive.
Their changing of the guard here on Bolton is political as well.
The Bush administration, for the most part, can't say that what they're doing is motivated by politics, otherwise their approval ratings wouldn't be in the 30s and 40s.
But the Democrats are always, and they've signaled it.
Everything's political to them, along with their buddies and aliases and accomplices in the drive-by media.
So it is entirely fair and even required and appropriate, ladies and gentlemen, by learned types like me to analyze for you, Senator's movement, Schumer's movement in this direction.
Nothing to do with the substance.
In fact, it may.
