Time Text
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbo.
As usual, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
We are here in New York, high atop the EIB building in Midtown Manhattan just for today.
We'll be back at the EIB Southern Command tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
A telephone number, if you wish to be on the program is 800-282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
This is from the Associated Press.
People asked to rate the competence of an individual based on a quick glance at a photo predicted the outcome of elections more than two-thirds of the time.
Nearly 300 students at Princeton were asked to look at the pairs of photographs for as little as one tenth of a second and pick the individual they felt was more competent.
This, according to psychologist Alexander Todorov, in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The participants were shown photos of leading candidates for governor or senator in other parts of the country.
They were not told that they were evaluating candidates.
Those who recognized any of the photos, the pictures were not counted.
So when the elections took place two weeks later, the researchers found that the competence uh snap judgments predicted the winners in 72.4% of the senatorial races and 68.6% of the gubernatorial races.
The findings suggest, you following me on this.
The findings suggest uh unreflective judgments based in a candidate's face can affect voting decisions.
Can't this can seem like do 72.4% of the time.
This explains John Kerry.
I mean, where do they test presidential candidates, but I mean it works for governor candidates and senator candidates that have to work for presidential candidates.
This would explain Kerry's problem.
Um the finding suggests that fast, unreflective judgments based on a candidate's face can affect voting decisions.
Voters are not that rational after all.
So maybe we have Oh, I see what this is about.
Voters, this is the guy that did the survey.
Voters are not that rational after all.
So maybe we have to consider that when we elect our politicians.
So what he's saying is uh we can't think that because voters elected Reagan they were rational, and we can't think that because voters uh elected Bush they were rational.
It's just that they didn't like the looks of the Democrats who were who were running.
What a sneaky way to attack the intelligence of voters.
I reject it.
I don't doubt that this may have some truth to it, but I don't think it says that voters are uh are irrational.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, your host is uh in the process of another mini smear.
Uh and that mini smear is taking place out in the left-wing blogosphere, and it is centered around the false allegation that I attacked a 12-year-old kid.
Graham Frost of the famous Frost family of the famous response of Graham Frost of President Bush's radio address in trying to sell a bogus lying distorted version of the expansion of the S chip program.
Well, we're hoping Pelosi will send a letter on this, but she's in deep do-doo with her own people.
I think she's she's worrying about salvaging herself leadership-wise before dealing with me.
Uh but now get this.
This this is from the uh Washington Post today.
A Maryland family caught in the partisan crossfire over a children's health bill in Congress is now stepping back into the divisive debate, advocating this time for state legislation that would expand coverage for adults.
Oh, I get it.
Up until now, the Frost family was just an innocent victim, an innocent bunch of victims of an unfair and unjust U.S. health care system.
And President Bush was the evil Darth Vader, trying to prevent them and their kids and others like them from having adequate health care company.
That was the lie.
The Frost family was covered under the current structure of the SCHIP program.
Now we find out that the mother of Graham Frost has become an activist uh and is advocating for state legislation that would expand coverage for adults.
Thank you, Mrs. Frost.
Then everybody will be covered.
The family, the whole family be covered.
We have S A chip.
Uh we have S Chip.
We get everybody covered to Frost family.
Frost family can then save up all their money and not have to spend on health care.
By the way, folks, about these dishwashers.
And these tenement dwellers and so forth in Chinatown, thousand dollars, two thousand dollar donations to Hillary Clinton.
They can't afford health care.
They can afford a grand or two grand to give to her presidential campaign.
Yeah, right.
Well, the Frost of Fetch.
Right.
That's that's another thing.
Here's here's here's Maryland family caught in the partisan crossfair.
They weren't caught in anything.
They entered it.
They showed up in it.
This story indicates that we were right all along.
This is an activist family.
They were found by some child services outfit in Maryland, then supposedly, as is how the story goes.
Uh the Democrats in Washington were told about this family by the Child Services Bunch in Maryland.
Like the grandparents driving around Florida happened to listen into Newt's conversation on a cell phone in the car, like we all do.
Three weeks ago, after 12-year-old Graham Frost offered a radio appeal for expansion of Vest Chip, his family became fodder for conservative bloggers.
The Frost were derided as freeloaders who relied on government insurance for their children why they sent uh the two to private scrubel.
Bloggers staked out their Baltimore Row house, declaring it too fancy for a family that can't afford to pay for health insurance.
Commentator Rush Limbaugh imitated Grant Oh, oh.
I didn't read this far in the story.
Uh commentator Rush Limbaugh imitated Graham Frost's voice, damage in a car accident.
Said congressional Democrats were using the boy to advance a distortion.
I wasn't imitating his voice.
I don't, I've never heard his voice.
And my classic little kid voice.
See, this is the this is a when you've got people, this is media matters.
Media matters again.
They don't listen to the program, so they don't know the context.
They don't know they have a little 12-year-old voice, a little kid voice.
I use it.
I've been doing it for 18 years.
Even longer than that.
So now I'm imitating the kid's voice.
When I was it, just like I was not making fun of Michael J. Fox and his Parkinson's disease.
Anyway, the Democrats came to the kids' defense accusing conservatives of distorting the family's finances and attacking Graham unfairly.
And then we had a Doonsbury cartoon yesterday, but now we find out that uh Mrs. Frost wants to expand state health care for adults.
She said she didn't hesitate to join the Maryland effort despite the events of the past three weeks.
I'm not going to let these nasty bloggers scare me away from standing up for what's important.
Well, hubcabbahubba.
Uh so they this is I mean, this is if anything, this is vindication.
However, it's not it's not just about vindication, uh, folks.
It is uh it's the fact uh that that this bunch is actually interested in the expansion of government to fund everybody's health care.
When you start talking about adults being included, uh they're Democrat pawns.
You know, and they've I think they like the attention.
I don't know what their activist status was prior to all this, but they clearly like this attention now.
A lot of people do, everybody gets their 50 minutes of fame.
Everybody wants that.
Now they're stars, even though they're in the middle of a controversy.
Uh drive-by media defending them, so their virtue is intact as far as they're concerned.
So go for it.
Let's get even more involved.
And that's the thinking behind this.
Uh the Clintonistas, uh, the Clinton war machine, Clinton Worm, uh war room, Clinton Inc., has decided to go after Rudy Giuliani.
The same crowd that condemned the politics of personal destruction has sent Charlie Wrangle out now to uh bash Rudy on his marriages.
It's a situation room at Wolf Blitzer, talking to Wrangle, blitzer says you lashed out at Rudy's personal life.
Some of the experiences he's had, his multiple marriages, among other things.
Two people, six spouses.
It's a little complicated if you're not religious, especially when you're running against a Mormon.
But I'm just saying that America has to look at all of these things, and that there are enough moles on this man that embarrasses those of us who've sought public life.
When we get involved in public life, it means we're in a goldfish bowl.
And it would seem to me, with all the breaks that the mayor's had and touching with Carrick and being involved with his personal problems, that he would thank God he's got as far as where he did go without making the politicians get involved in this personal life.
What do you mean without getting the politicians involved in his personal life?
They all have been.
They've run stories on his kids, and the kids have been interviewed, uh, unlike Chelsea, who was uh sequestered and uh and protected.
What is this?
Two people, six spouses, it's a little complicated if you're not religious, especially when you're running against a Mormon.
Little gratuitous there, uh gratuitous there, uh, Chuck.
Chuck Wrangle here.
Uh I I know you're incredulous listening to this.
Uh it is it is to to try to say that Rudy has baggage like this and ignore the Clintons.
He talks about the Clintons.
He said, well, she at least they they stay married.
Well, maybe the fact that she stayed married solely for the political advantage to a serial adulterer who also committed sex acts with cigars in the Oval Office with a young girl, young enough to be his daughter, uh does that not embarrass you, Democrat?
No, it obviously doesn't.
But for some reason we've got to go out.
We can hit on Rudy for all his stuff while claiming that the Democrats never get involved in any of this.
You know, in a sane world, in a sane political environment, where Charlie Wrangle isn't shooting off his mouth, what the Clintons have done is something to be ashamed of.
It's actually a resume enhancement for them.
Uh this is a window into how nasty this is going to get next year.
We got one more, excuse me, one more bite from uh from Wrangle, and this is where he talks about Clinton Blitzer look.
If Rudy's personal life becomes an issue, that opens the door for Hillary, your candidate, her personal life becomes an issue as well.
This woman got married, stayed married, the same husband.
When they had problems, she stuck with him.
You tell me what her personal life is something that she should be ashamed of, and I want to talk about it.
But I tell you one thing, that whether you like it enough, personal lives, once you throw your hat in the ring, then you're vulnerable to anything.
And I can't for the life of me see how you could compare anything that has been suggested that Hillary Clinton has done, as she's been exposed to public scrutiny and compare it with some like like Rudolph Giuliani.
No comparisons.
We did this at the opening of the program.
Campaign finance scandals engaging in acts that are dubious at least, but you throw her husband in the ring standing by this guy running the bimbo eruptions, Charlie controlling them, listening in on wiretaps to people.
Uh this I'm telling you, this is how dirty it's gonna get, and this is an illustration, folks, of the position of um arrogance and certitude the Democrats are coming from.
Nothing that they did, nothing that Clintons did can be held against him because the Clintons don't stand for standards.
Democrats do not make a point of having standards.
Republicans do, so they get held accountable to them.
Democrats don't.
So there is a double standard here, and they are going to try to take quick advantage of it.
Uh, ladies, may I may I have your attention, please?
I'd really like uh uh you to listen to this, and I would really love to know your thoughts on what you're going to hear here.
I know it's gonna be difficult because not all of you can reach me uh by way of telephone.
This is a story from the Associated Press about three hours ago is when it hit the wire, and the headline of the story, Clinton talks about Bill's romantic gifts.
Clinton talks about Bill's romantic gifts.
Do you think this is coincidental coming the day after Charlie Wrangell goes on CNN to rip into Rudy's personal life?
Nothing that happens with the Clintons is uh coincidental.
However, that's not my point.
I want you to listen to some of the words Mrs. Clinton uses to describe her marriage.
I want you ladies to do this, and I want you to see if they are words you would use.
Hillary Bradham Clinton says that uh husband Bill often brings her romantic gifts, a giant wooden giraffe from an African trip, for example, and a Chanel watch that reminded him of teeth.
Romantic gifts, a giant wooden giraffe, and a Chanel watch that reminded him of teeth.
I um I even gotten to the good part yet.
Uh What I I'm having trouble understanding the romantic aspects of a giraffe in any circumstance or form.
Uh well, let's not go there, Mamon.
Uh but a watch that reminds you of teeth.
Oh, he's so romantic, the former first lady said in an interview for the November issue of Essence Magazine.
He's always bringing me back things from his trips.
The watch had a bracelet made of white cubes.
I had dental surgery.
He said it reminded me of teeth, she said.
Well, you know, that's sort of like sending somebody a dozen roses uh when it's her time of the month.
You know, I mean that's um dental surgery.
The New York senator.
Now a presidential candidate said she is satisfied with the decisions that she has made in her marriage.
Now, obviously she says we've had challenges, as everybody in the world knows, but I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in, even in the midst of those challenges, and I'm really happy I made that decision.
Okay, invested it.
Does this sound like the language of love?
When you feel the love in Mrs. Clinton describing her marriage as this probably stretchable giraffe, this stretchable wooden giraffe, well, maybe a flexible wooden giraffe, and a watch that reminds her of teeth, or that Bill said reminded him of teeth, because she'd had dental surgery.
Now, she is happy she invested in the this sounds like a political speech.
I mean, Clintons use investments to talk about tax increases.
Uh in 1998, news unfolded about her husband's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
While sticking it out might not be for everyone, Mrs. Clinton said, women should support each other in the choices they make in their marriages.
Now, do you uh this uh this is a direct appeal to ladies?
Mrs. Clinton here is asking you to support her for her decision to hang in there.
But we all know her decision to hang in there is based on one fact.
In order for her to have any political viability whatsoever, her last name has to be Clinton.
That's the investment.
The investment is keeping her last name Clinton.
So this this doesn't sound like love and romance, and yet the headline is Clinton talks about Bill's romantic gifts.
While sticking it out might not be for everyone, Mrs. Clinton said women should support each other in the choices that they make in their marriage.
Women should support each other.
It takes a village to keep a marriage strong.
In order for a marriage to work, women in the village must come together and support the abused, mistreated, taken for granted of, taken for granted of wife.
Well, let's not go there.
No, no, no, no, I'm not talking about that.
Just talking about emotional.
I think it's so important for women to stand up for the right of women to make a decision that is best for them.
Now, I'm just your average run-of-the-middle, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh uh But these are not the words that I would use, because uh they would these words would never occur to me when talking about marriage.
I've words like prison, obligation, uh honeydews, well, and at the outset, love, devotion, forgiveness.
I mean, the marriage vows, ladies and gentlemen, I have yet to be in a wedding where the preacher says, Do you?
H. R. Kit Carson, invest in your wife and promise to maintain that investment through thick and thin.
It just doesn't happen.
It's just uh well, yeah, maybe if the John Kerry Teresa Hines wedding.
Mrs. Hines, do you promise to invest in John Kerry, regardless how little he's able to earn on his own through thick and thin, even when he needs to sell half of the house you own to fund his presidential race.
And while Carrie's on marching doing what.
There are, I guess there are different kinds of love.
Uh uh, and this, but these are just not the words I would use to describe.
Look, ladies, I'm just kidding about these, you know, words like prison and this stuff of what I just love stereotypical humor.
You know, I'm just kidding about this.
I'm serious.
Are these words when you remember Mrs. Clinton's on a push to attract women that she's nice now and that she's likable despite the 50% negatives?
And that yesterday they sent old Chuck Wrangle out there to rip Rudy on his personal life being such uh you know abomination.
And now here she comes talking about Bill's expandable giraffe from uh Africa, the Teeth Watch.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh, your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, despair, fires, hurricanes, well, no hurricanes, windstorms, and yes, even the good times behind the golden EIB microphone.
Okay, the BBC has a story here in the headlines laughable.
Cuba begins its election process.
Uh however, critics like the U.S. and the EU, along with dissidents on the island, disagree.
They say the electoral process in Cuba is merely a cosmetic democratic exercise which has no place for government opponents, as it is fully overseen.
But you know, this I was watching something this morning on the channel surfing around while waiting to go on the Scarborough show.
And they were arguing about Scarborough.
It was Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, babe, and they were arguing about a rock.
And they weren't agreeing on anything.
And they solved it.
It was a beautiful thing by saying, well, yes, there are two sides to every story.
No.
Well, there might be two sides to every story, but there are not two sides to facts.
And the facts are that elections in Cuba are bogus.
They are irrelevant.
They don't matter a hill of beans, elections in Iraq.
We're bogus.
So here we have the BBC.
Millions of Cubans have voted in municipal polls, starting an election cycle that could decide if Fidel Castro will officially stay Cuba's leader.
These are idiots.
These are blooming idiots.
Castro's reign is not determined by elections.
For who cannot know this?
What do Cubans do?
Put out a press release?
And the BBC because it comes from a government of a socialist dictator believes it.
Dad, and then they gotta go to critics and to balance the story.
That stupid cable again.
They had to go to critics to balance the story.
There is no the two sides of the story is such.
And it's such a staple of journalism, and it is so bogus.
By the way, uh there was an election last week.
This in in uh in Massachusetts, uh Massachusetts 5th Congressional District, uh, the election of Nikki Songus should have been a moment of celebration for House Democrats, one of the party's most successful and influential franchises, the all-Democrat Massachusetts delegation gained a new face, its first woman in decades.
A storied name in Massachusetts and national politics returned to elected office.
Instead, the focus was largely on what some saw as Songus's disappointingly small margin.
Amid growing worries, the Democrat-led Congress was going off its rails.
Both the House Republican leadership, the Republican National Committee touted the fact that Jim Oganowski, or Ogonowski, I'm sure he pronounces it, a candidate largely ignored by the National Party, had come within six points of victory in a solid Democrat state, district.
The RNC declared the democratic wave had finally crested.
The big issue in this election was children's health care and the exertions of Democrat leadership in moving to expand the S chip program, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It now seems as though the Republicans, despite embarrassments like the uh scandal surrounding Larry Craig of Idaho, have regained some of their political footing.
Blow me down.
This is this is this probably is not unusual.
They create these expectations of a Democrat sweep, a mind boggling landslide.
Democrats are going to take over everything because the country hates Bush.
The country hates the war.
The country hates Republicans.
Then they have this special election, and it's a six-point win where it should have been a twenty-point win.
And now they're all, oh no.
No, what does this?
I mean, the headline, Tongas' slim victory signals a derailed Congress.
That slam dunk in 2008 that they've got planned for themselves getting a little shaky out there.
And it always comes back to bite you when you start thinking you have it in a bag and it's a year away.
And it is from the Washington Post today.
GOP finds hot button in illegal immigration.
Special election in Massachusetts could be indicative of Democrat weak spot.
Where have you people in the media been?
How can you write a headline?
GOP finds hot button in illegal immigration.
Did you not see how the amnesty bill was swept aside twice?
Where have you been?
The disconnect between people inside the beltway, the Washington, New York, Boston Axis, that corridor, is stunning.
How in the world GOP finds hot button in illegal immigration, and then it's portrayed here as more worries for the Democrats.
Immigration is not a winner for them.
Really?
They were counting on immigration being a winner.
My God, we shouldn't have derailed it then.
Well, I don't mean that.
We shouldn't we should let them keep thinking that they can win on immigration by talking the way they were talking about Amnesty is a winner.
Good lord, ladies.
A good grief, ladies and gentlemen.
Massachusetts race that was close too close because of that issue.
Republicans led on the issue.
Uh the Democrats want a mini bill.
The Liberals won't support on all of this.
That's the summary of this story.
But I it's the headline here.
GOP finds hot button and illegal immigration.
They have special election in Massachusetts could be indicative of Democrat weak spot.
Good Lord.
We you know what we do not know.
We are we just do not we don't we ought to be so much more confident than we are, we do not realize just how out of it the Democrat Party is with the American people.
As evidenced by their willing accomplices in the drive-by media, they are just out of it.
On seminal salient issue, immigration for crying out loud, they actually think that Amnesty, the things they supported, was a winner after it got thrown out.
Massive national protest twice.
You know what they think?
I guarantee you, the only thing they know about it and remember is they saw these million people protesting back last spring.
That's what they see.
They see public protest, a bunch of lazy people that don't have anything better to do, going out on the streets, random mobs, and this they that's where they see strength and power.
And they resent.
They resent those of you that call their offices and got this whole thing scuttled.
You are to be beaten.
You are to be overcome.
You t you don't tell Congress what to do.
No, no, no, you don't.
They tell you what to do, and this got slapped right back down their throats as well.
Um fascinating headline.
Fascinating story.
I think we're in much better shape than anybody's willing to admit.
Don't get overconfident, don't even talk to me about that.
I'm just saying, if you look at the disarray the Democrats are in, then you see a story where they now are surprised that immigration is a hot button issue for Republicans.
Sweet.
Jim, Cherry Hill, New Jersey, welcome to the program, sir.
Thank you for waiting.
Yes, Rush.
Uh U.S. Navy datos.
I've been listening since uh 1989.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I I joined the Navy Reserve about three years ago, uh, largely due to uh my inspiration I I've got from you.
And I've come back from Kuwait uh in May, whereas I I served there as a uh a swift boat coxman uh in the Navy, and I just wanted to ask you uh a couple favors, two favors.
One, if um, and I know you use the term uh in tongue in tongue in cheek when you when you use the word, uh swift voting.
Uh scuttling uh a politician's uh career.
I do not use it.
I refer to it when Democrats use it, and they use it as a means of unfairly criticizing them.
That the swift voting to them is Republicans lying about them.
Correct.
I uh I I know I know, like I said, you used it tongue in cheek, but you did still use it, and I'm you know, I'm I'm trying to like nip it in the butt so it doesn't become uh uh the negative connotation uh doesn't become too part of our our lexicon uh uh and uh the other favor I'd like to ask, or one favorite I'd like to ask is uh there is there's a there's a I'd like to plug uh a blog if I could.
He's been taking this uh this issue up at the Boston Globe up in uh Massachusetts, of course, which is uh John Kerry's backyard.
And um it's it's it's a site exactly right, V A C K L Y right, and uh he's been pretty much taking it to the Boston Globe.
I think where the term more or less uh was born, I guess.
Uh the term Swift boating?
Correct.
No, no, no, no, no.
I the swift the Swift boating.
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ran ads.
There's no blogger responsible for the term swift boating.
Not to put down the blogger.
Swift boating.
Swift boat veterans of truth ran ads telling the truth about John Kerry.
They not one of those ads facts has been refuted.
They've just been ripped for running the ads.
So the Democrats run around and start talking about the term Swift boat.
Hey, we got Swift boated out there.
They think it means to be lied about.
What actually swift boating means you're telling the truth about Democrats, and that you're not supposed to do, and if you do, the Democrats are gonna get even with you somehow.
Uh Kelly in Denver, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you.
Um I am very confident uh in our ability to do just about anything.
You said not to get overconfident, but I tell you what, the Republican Party is more con more uh gosh, we're stronger than God Almighty himself.
And I'll tell you where I'm coming from.
I was listening to the uh our ABC affiliate out here in Denver.
The start of your second hour, their uh news program.
I believe they had Barbara Boxer talking, and she was calling for help with the fires in Southern California from our um our National Guard, but said that they couldn't uh be expected to do much because she paused for a fact.
All of our equipment was in a rock.
A little quiver in her she says it's in a rock.
And so this fire is still burning because the Republicans are fighting an illegal war, and um we're more powerful than God himself.
Uh you know, that that's this they tried to do Hurricane Katrina.
This is what they keep recycling the old pages in the playbook.
Uh nothing unique, nothing original.
That that's that's not gonna fly.
I mean, it's gonna fly with barber boxers' base.
But the people that are out there being affected by these fires are not gonna believe that the National Guard wouldn't be able to do much more than is already being done uh if they weren't in a rock.
That that's just sophistry.
That that that is that is that is that's not even wise.
Uh and it's failed once before, and it's it's not just trying to make everything about Iraq.
Um it's laughable.
I've just run out of laughing energy today because I really laughed a lot today.
Uh quick time out here, folks.
Let me take it.
We'll be back and continue here in just a second.
Stay with us.
Overloaded with requests today, ladies and gentlemen, my popular demand dingy Harry Reed.
And the letter.
I won't care what media matters says again.
I won't listen to a fat chance of that.
By the way, we revealed earlier in the program today our official translation, the latest Osama Bin Laden tape from Al Jazeera.
The last one was the last one.
I interrupt matters of state to remind you, my children.
Remain united and focused in our cause.
There is no room for extremism.
Yes, I mean you, most dingy one.
You and your funny soldier letter.
Where is your brain?
Using media matters as a source to attack Russian Limbaugh.
None of your brothers in the Middle East takes them seriously.
And they trust Al Jazeera.
Look in the hand.
They are not in it for a reason.
Stick it short thing.
The New York Times.
And I speak it up.
Repent your grossity to make Turkey with the school.
Pelosi looks smart for the turkey face.
And about the S chip though.
Do not fail to remind the American people.
They could all have free health care if only Bush weren't in Iraq.
Praise Allah.
Until we win in 08.
Yours also against Bush.
Osama.
Osama.
Dingy one.
Shouldn't have written the letter.
All right, Patrick in Richmond, Virginia.
You're next.
Thanks for calling.
You're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you for taking my call, oh, great one.
You're better than welcome, sir.
Rush, if you know uh with the electoral college map, the way that it is, the Republican candidate, whoever it is, will probably have to carry every single Southern state.
I think that uh Thompson probably has the best chance of doing that.
My question to you is this.
Do you honestly think that Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney, both being from the Northeast, can carry every single Southern state?
Uh they don't have to.
They can miss a couple, but they're gonna it it's not gonna be that difficult.
I think it was uh I was talking about this earlier, and you're gonna have to win Ohio, uh, in addition to Florida, because the Democrats are gonna win New York and uh and California.
That's just that's that's etched in stone right now.
As to as as to the electability of these guys in the Northeast and the South and so forth, by the time, you know, you you're looking at this in the in the context of primaries.
And when we get to the general, after we've got the primaries, if it's Mitt, if it's Rudy, since those are two examples, the opponent is gonna be Hillary.
The subject, the focus of the election is gonna be the future of the country.
Are we going to go toward a socialist we're gonna head in a more uh obvious, pronounced socialist direction, with government-run health care on the horizon, all of these things are we gonna remain the engine of capitalism that keeps us free and prosperous in the rest of the world?
That's what this is gonna be about.
Mrs. Clinton, by the time she becomes the focal point of this with her 50% negatives, I think all these other things are gonna be a mistake.
In fact, I would think I would go so far as to say again that if either Rudy or Mitt focus in their campaign as I can win the Northeast.
I would advise them not to do it.
I would advise them not to say it.
Talk about winning the country.
Because people are gonna say, if I can win a Northeast, I'm gonna they think how are you gonna do it?
You know, out liberal the Democrat in those states.
We don't win by being somewhat liberal to combat them.
We win by being conservative against them.
And there's some states we're gonna win, some states we're not.
Quick break, I'm out of time.
I'm getting email that I made a mistake when I said that uh Jack Kennedy was the last senator elected to the with the last Democrat elected president.
I said the last senator elected president.
I know, but somebody misunderstood me, and I'm correcting them.
See, I'm I'm right even when you think I'm wrong.
