Time Text
Hi, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We're coming to you today with a brand new episode live from high atop the EIB building in Midtown Manhattan.
This is one of the most frequently visited of all tourist sites in the Big Apple.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you here.
The telephone number 800-282-2882.
We'll get to your phone calls here in due course.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee yesterday continued to move to the right on immigration during the presidential campaign, signing a pledge to enforce immigration laws and to make all illegal aliens go home.
The pledge offered by Immigration Control Advocacy Group.
Hang on, folks, I had a belch here, and I'm not going to do it in front of you.
The pledge offered by Immigration Con...
No, I had...
No, no, no.
I can tell by the facial expressions in there that you think that was planned.
That was not.
Shows I have manners.
The pledge offered by Immigration Control Advocacy Group Numbers USA commits Mr. Huckabee to oppose a new path to citizenship for current illegal aliens and to cut the number of illegal aliens already in the country through attrition by law enforcement, something that Huckabee said that he will achieve through his nine-point immigration plan.
You know what?
This may work if Huckabee announces that the official meal of illegal immigrants is fried squirrel.
Make that mandatory.
So he also, he supported yesterday, well, a couple days ago, he supported a federal ban on smoking, and he flip-flopped on that and said, no, that should be left up to the states.
And of course, we all know his immigration position was the exact opposite.
So now get them all out.
That's the new Huckabee position.
He has faced, as you know, some questions, some of these questions.
And yesterday's pledge, pardon me, yesterday's pledge, which is signed at a press conference with Numbers USA Executive Director Roy Beck, was an effort to provide answer because it is a major reversal from less than two months ago when Beck told a Washington Times that Huckabee was an absolute disaster on immigration during his time as governor.
Americans for Better Immigration, another group that Beck runs, has rated Huckabee's record as poor.
As you know, Huckabee fought for tuition breaks for illegal alien college students.
He failed to complete an agreement to let state cops enforce federal immigration law and criticized enforcement efforts both at the federal and state level.
But Beck said yesterday that Huckabee has made a number of key promises going forward, including to not grant illegal aliens long-term legal status, to reject a guaranteed right of return for those who go home voluntarily under his nine-point plan, and to not increase green cards as a way of allowing them to come back more quickly.
Look, folks, we're just reporting to news here.
You make of this whatever you want.
I don't think this is the kind of thing that deserves any commentary or analysis from me.
How would you like it?
You're on a jet.
You're on a commercial jet.
And all of a sudden, it's time for the instructions to tell you what to do as the plane's taxiing out for takeoff to your destination.
And you hear this.
In a few minutes, I'm going to switch off the fastener seats outside.
However, I've learned lately that things can get awfully puffy when least expected.
So you might want to keep those seatbelts fastened.
And in the event of an unexpected drop in poll numbers, this plane will be diverted to New Hampshire.
If you look out from the right, you'll see an America saddled with tax cuts for the wealthiest and a war without end.
If you look out from the left, you'll see an America with a strong middle class at home and a strong reputation in the world.
Once we've reached cruising altitude, we'll be offering in-flight entertainment.
My stuff speech in its many variations.
Once again, thank you for joining us at Hill Force One.
We know you have choices when you fly, and so we are grateful that you chose the plane with the most experienced candidate.
Hillary Clinton pretending to be a woman, a flight attendant yesterday on board her campaign charter from, I think it was Las Vegas to Reno.
I'll tell you, if you get on an airplane and you hear that, you're definitely not flying the friendliest guys of Ignited.
Quite the opposite.
Karl Rove, yesterday in Washington, spoke to the Republican National Committee's winter meeting on how to beat Hillary.
We have one, two, three soundbites, the first of three here.
Democrats, Independents, and Republicans have real questions about his accomplishments as a first-term senator and whether he has the experience that equips him to be a commander-in-chief in a time of war.
He was elected to the United States Senate three years ago.
He spent almost the entire time running for president.
He's not talking about Hillary there.
He's talking about Obama.
He's actually describing how to beat both of them.
Here's the second of three.
Senator Clinton, she claims to fiscal responsibility.
She talks about the need to be fiscally responsible.
And yet, if you look at it, she's already proposed $800 million in new spending, and the campaign is less than half over.
How can you claim to be fiscally responsible and want to increase the federal budget by $800 billion in four short years?
And here's a see I told you so from Karl Rove.
And he's, by the way, he's made this point on this program before.
She's running against nobody and nobody gets 40% of the vote.
The other 5% of the vote went for three other people.
27,924 votes went for the guy who believes in UFOs, the guy who dropped out, and the guy who last held public office somewhere around 1855.
That's a pretty remarkable testament to the deep concerns the Democrats have about Senator Clinton when she can barely beat nobody else.
This is the Michigan primary, and there were no delegates awarded, so no other candidates came.
Mike Revelle was on the ballot, Dennis Kucinich is the UFO guy.
But that's a pretty good line.
She's running against nobody and gets 40% of the vote.
Now let's move on to Obama here for just a second.
This is in a Reno, during an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal Editorial Board.
Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.
He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it.
I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 60s and the 70s and government had grown and grown, but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating.
And I think he tapped into what people were already feeling, which is we want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing.
Holy smokes, now the Democrats out there using Reagan.
This is heresy.
Meanwhile, we got our guys trying to relegate Reaganism era as over.
And here's Obama, who's out there now appropriating certain aspects of Reagan as his own.
This is now you might, it's heresy, but notice he's getting away with it on the Democrats.
The Democrat side not going nuts over this.
Clinton, Inc. might have something to say about it later.
But he's not citing Reagan's specifics.
He's citing attitudes.
He's citing inspirational aspects of Reagan, entrepreneurship, this sort of thing.
The excesses of the 60s and 70s.
Now, that's purposeful because whether you know it or not, Obama is running a generational campaign.
He's basically running against himself, the excesses of the baby boomers of the 60s and the 70s and the anti-war lift and all that.
He's trying to pass himself off as JFK in the sense it's time to pass a torch to a new generation.
But one of the Democrats invoking our guy here.
So this has inspired Pete Wayner, who is the editor of the Contentions blog at the Commentary Magazine.
Yeah, the Ethics and Public Policy Crowd, but it's the Contentions blog at Norman Pedro's shop.
And he reacts to Obama and Reagan.
I just want to read a few excerpts here of what Pete says.
Ronald Reagan attempted to limit the size of government, but his greatest legislative success was in cutting tax rates and changing how his party and much of the country viewed taxes.
Second, Reagan was a sharp critic of Nixon and Kissinger's détente policy.
He utterly, now listen to this, he utterly rejected the pessimism that believed that the key to American statecraft was to manage our decline.
That's exactly so brilliantly put, Pete.
That's exactly how you would say the Democrats' foreign policy is it's based on the fact we're declining, that we should decline, that we should no longer be the world's superpower, and we need competent Democrats and liberals to manage that decline.
And this is something else that Reagan rejected.
This is conservatism, American exceptionalism.
He believed in it.
Reagan believed the U.S. could go beyond containment and prevail against the Soviet Union.
This is a view that was met with utter condescension within the foreign policy establishment and those in the so-called realist camp.
In addition, Reagan made morality a centerpiece.
This is so crucial here.
Reagan made morality a centerpiece of American foreign policy and used explicitly moral language when talking about it.
For example, in suggesting the Soviet Union was the evil empire and suggesting it would implode of its own immorality.
He was a relentless advocate for spreading democracy around the world.
And Reagan established the Republican Party as a pro-life party in a way it had never been before.
Those achievements were significant and lasting.
Reagan's influence in the Republican Party is hard to overstate.
He is to Republicans what FDR has been to Democrats.
You never hear the Democrats say the era of FDR is over.
Senator Obama's words about Reagan that you just heard, not only true, they are a reminder of what an intriguing political figure Reagan is.
In the midst of an intense Democrat primary battle, Obama had good words to say about President Reagan, a very popular figure with most Americans, while he succeeded in linking Nixon and Clinton in terms of their impact on our country, properly so.
But Obama's words also reflect on him.
So far, his campaign is largely about capturing a mood rather than about advocating a set of ideas.
And at the end of the day, changing the trajectory of America depends on the ideas and policies, not sentiment.
Reagan was an optimistic person, but that is not his lasting achievement.
And if Reagan's policies had failed rather than succeeded, his optimism would have looked badly misplaced and would now be used against him.
Barack Obama, who so far has shown himself to be an utterly orthodox liberal, as has Hillary Clinton, now has to take the next step and show that he is bold and creative in the realm of ideas and policies, which was a hallmark of Reagan.
So far, Obama has not done that, and that has been the glaring weakness in his otherwise impressive campaign.
He is, such a great way to put it.
Obama's campaign is one of mood.
He's out there praising Reagan, but he's not adopting any policies or ideas that are similar because he hasn't gotten to ideas other than orthodox liberalism on health care, taxes.
There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrat candidates on any of these things.
That's right.
Perot's back in a campaign.
He called Jonathan Older at Newsweek recently to be critical of Senator McCain.
Anyway, we are back.
You know, I just, I read excerpts of Pete Wayner's piece at the Contentions blog, Commentary Magazine.
I tell you, Pete, you need to be writing for the New York Times.
Enough said.
You're just head and shoulders above the philosopher kings appointed by the Libs to lead conservatives.
Anyway, here's Jason.
Jason's been holding on since last Friday from Terre Haute, Indiana.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
All right.
Thank you, Rush.
You bet.
Hey, I haven't been able to quit laughing ever since I saw Bill Clinton's little Temper tantrum with that reporter.
It always makes me laugh because it's questions that everybody is asked, but he acts like they just asked if he ate somebody's baby or something.
No, it's not you.
I guess my question is: how in the world do the Clintons continue to be the media darlings, even though they won't answer questions?
They're abusive like with Chris Wallace and different ones like that when the right questions aren't asked.
How do they get away with it?
Well, I tell you what, I think they still are the media darlings, and they've got a long way to go to not be, but they're losing some of the media.
I think some of the media is tired of, I don't know, for lack of a better word, whoring for them, covering up for them and this sort of thing.
There's a generational link between the Clintons and a lot of the drive-bys.
They are him and he is them.
And they just, they have this attachment here that's very difficult to break.
And what you really saw yesterday when Clint was in Oakland standing there next to Ron Red Dellums, he's being asked about this lawsuit that there's no question Clinton cronies filed this lawsuit to bust up the culinary caucuses in the casinos.
The Clintons are not used to getting those questions.
Look at what happened when Tim Russert dared ask her about driver's licenses in New York for illegal aliens.
They are used to being covered.
They're used to being not, you know, not given tough questions like this, challenging questions.
And whenever it happens, you know, Clinton starts pointing a finger at them and comes in every way.
Don't you know who you're dealing with here, boy?
I don't answer questions like that.
Nobody has guts to ask me questions like that.
Who are you?
Some local yokel from San Francisco?
You're not even a network guy.
And I'm going to see to it, you never will be.
You don't get away with asking me stuff like that.
That's what's in his mind as he's rambling through his answer on this stuff.
Lou in Valley, Washington.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I love you.
Hi, thank you.
And ditto's.
Thank you.
My husband laughs at me because I carry my little portable phone with Rush on the radio with Rush on it all over the rooms.
Anyways, I want to talk to you about your choice when the caller called and asked you if you would support Hillary or McCain, or I feel like a Republican would be better than any Hillary or Ben Clay.
That's not, you didn't hear me.
I said, I've said this from the get-go.
If Hillary Clinton's a nominee, I'm supporting whoever the Republican nominee is.
I'm voting for him.
But the caller didn't ask me that.
A caller asked me, don't you think McCain would be better than Hillary?
Yep.
And my answer was, I don't think Hillary will be beaten.
That's the bottom line with that option.
You know, this is, you know, in that matchup, we lose.
That's what I am afraid of.
You know, wouldn't you rather have McCain and Hillary?
I don't think it's going to be a contest.
That's the whole point that I'm trying to convey here.
And fortunately, I'm out of time.
Back in just a second.
And this is just amazing, folks.
I cannot get away from it.
I go to the email during the breaks.
I have North Carolina mistress dumping on me for not doing enough of that to this candidate.
I got other women.
You're just dumping on our own.
You can't, you just, we have a saying in my house: we don't dump on our own.
And she's talking about another candidate.
I'm getting dumped on by everybody out here for what I'm doing on the program.
I'm not even going out with these people.
The only thing good about this is I'm getting them dumped on.
It's not going to cost me anything, but still.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just having fun with all this.
You've got to understand, folks, I love stereotypical humor when it doesn't cost me anything.
Mike in upstate New York, welcome.
Yes, I know.
I am so funny.
Upstate New York, nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Just fine.
Thank you.
Good.
Love your show.
I just had a comment to make as far as the GOP candidates running against the way they're running their campaigns.
They're really running.
I mean, not one of them is really breaking out.
And I think it's because Bush really kind of fuzzied the lines as far as what a conservative is and what a Republican is and what a Democrat is.
He ran as a Patrick Conservative, which is redundant, by the way, but he really never was any of it.
And so today they have to compete against him, who really, I think, kind of clouded the ball.
It ain't going to happen.
It isn't going to happen because that's going backwards.
You know, Bush is not on the ballot.
If there is an era that's ending, it's the Bush era defined as his presidency.
It's not going to serve Republicans well to start dumping on Bush.
Well, no, not really to dump on specifically in the most obvious way, but to really pinpoint his whole administration and the flaws he made where he really signed up with the Democrats.
And what you do is if you take 16 years out of it from his last four to the first board of Clintons, that's going to bring you closer to the Reagan era.
So you can really pick up the mantle from where Reagan left off to where the new GOP candidates are running today and say this is where we want to go.
You mean run against the Bush record without mentioning Bush's name?
Well, yeah.
You mean Republican candidates ought to run against helping letting Democrats help write education bills.
Exactly.
The only reason he won the second term, which was very close, by the way, was for the war on terror.
And he did a great job with that.
And we're winning.
And we will win, or probably not by the end of the day.
Look, you know, you guys, you are tough.
You callers today, I have to tell you, you are forcing me to emote and articulate things that I normally would hold back at this stage.
Now, I don't think that Huckabee tried it, and he caught hell for it by saying that, what did he say about Bush?
Arrogant foreign policy.
You can't, if you're going to do this, I understand what you're saying, but you can't, it's not going to make sense for Republicans to do that.
I'm not saying they have to go out and specifically embrace Bush, but on some things they can.
Taxes, appointments to the Supreme Court, national security.
Here's the problem, folks.
And I, oh, this is so hard for me to say.
It is just hard.
And I don't mean any of this personally, but I frankly believe that one of the reasons that we find ourselves in this current situation where all of us are looking at this roster of candidates and trying to pick the one that we like, dislike the least.
I think it is a direct result that there has not been conservative leadership from the highest levels, either White House or the Republican Party, since the year 2000.
You know, compassionate conservatism, the Democrats write the education bill.
You know, this is really, when you boil it all down here, we can really synthesize all these problems we're having.
One thing, leadership.
The American people will respond to it.
Republicans, conservatives will respond to it.
We're not getting leadership out of the Democrat Party, getting up to whining and moaning and trying to make everybody just feel rotten and miserable.
On the Republicans, we're really not getting any leadership.
We're getting policy statements and reactions to the premises that have been set by Democrats, global warming, healthcare, this sort of stuff.
It really, it's just that simple.
And had there been, and when I say leadership, I'm talking about ideological.
Certainly Bush is led on the war on terror.
Don't misunderstand me, but I'm talking about ideological leadership that can, most people are not self-starters.
They want to be led and they want somebody in the front of the movement who's going to take them in the right direction for all the right reasons, and they'll do anything for them.
You've got a leader that you respect.
You'll go out of your way to get that leader's respect.
There just hasn't been that.
And so that's sort of a, if you want somebody to quagmire, it might be a halfway decent way to describe circumstances right now.
And all this can change on a moment, well, on a moment's notice, but leadership can surface as a result of certain instances or events that take place.
But I really think it really boils down to nothing more complicated than that.
And when that's absent, look what happens.
You got all these people, you've got off all these people going off the reservation in their own ways because there's no discipline.
There are no guardrails.
So you've got this disparate bunch of people, Republican and Democrat alike, that are just going like it's spokes in a wheel.
And we're not going anywhere.
The wheels are turning, but we're just doing 360s.
The way McCain steered his naval vessels.
Anthony in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Just fine, sir.
Thank you, sir.
A little nervous.
Illegal immigration.
I don't think Huckabee or McCain get the idea here.
After especially how the Americans let their voices be heard on this illegal immigration thing.
And now you've got Graham campaigning with McCain in South Carolina, and they're almost taking a condescending tone towards people questioning them on the immigration and the illegal immigration.
And every time you ask him, he comes up to secure the borders.
Two million criminals will be deported.
And then that leaves 10 million left.
So people want his answer.
And he keeps coming up with this, well, I know an illegal immigrant that's the wife of a soldier, and I'm not going to send her home.
Well, like, wait, wait, wait, wait, Joe.
Just a second.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Who said that?
McCain said that.
McCain.
Wait a minute.
He's been saying that.
Wait, just a second.
Wait a minute, because McCain's out there trying to tell everybody he's learned from the illegal immigrant fiasco, that he's seen the light on this.
That's what Deborah said.
Well, that's, yeah, I've been wondering about this because I said on Monday, you know, I'm watching the TV and there's Lindsey Gramnesty opening up and doing the warm-up for a McCain town meeting.
And I'm thinking, this is South Carolina where Lindsey Gramnesty negative numbers were just through the roof after this amnesty bill.
And I looked, now the latest Rasmussen poll, the latest Rasmussen poll has it tied for what this is worth.
This is Thursday, the primary Saturday.
Has it McCain and Huckabee at 24 each, Mitt Romney at 18%, Fred Thompson 16%?
The only guy moving up in this poll against Fred Thompson by a couple points, 14 to 16%.
These polls, you're right about the South Carolina immigration business.
For the anger over that to just have subsided?
It'll be interesting to see this.
I don't accept that, and I'll tell you what, just a personal experience.
My wife's been in the country for seven years.
She's from Europe.
We've been going through INS for seven years, doing everything the way we're supposed to do and everything.
And he's going to he both Huckabee and McCain just don't seem to get it, that it's just not fair to the people that do it the right way.
I don't think it's that they don't get it.
See, that's the point.
It's not that they don't get it.
They think you don't.
They think we don't get it.
And we don't understand.
Frankly, I happen to believe that members of the Senate are to this, at this moment, as we speak, are plotting the next amnesty bill.
I do.
They're going to come back at this just like they come back with everything else that they lose.
Look at what went down the something that went, oh, the state children's health program.
S-CHIP went down to two.
So they're trying to incrementally bring back elements of that in different pieces of legislation rather than go get it all at once.
What do you think driver's licenses for illegals was about in New York?
Governor Spitzer.
It was about the failure of the amnesty bill.
Okay, so let's go get it incrementally.
We'll do this.
And it's all Democrats doing this stuff.
I don't for a minute believe these guys aren't going to try to get that back.
They just, you know, they couldn't get it done before the presidential election year started.
They can't do it during a presidential election year.
So, make no bone.
They made it very clear what they want in the United States Senate.
Members of both parties.
And we know why.
It's about votes.
It's about registering new voters.
Pure and simple, folks.
We know what this is about.
What always amazed us on the Republican side was that we couldn't understand why Republicans didn't see that this was a destruction of the Republican Party Act.
But nevertheless, we're covering old ground here.
I just be interesting to see how this does shake out in the primary on Saturday.
Don't for a minute think that they've seen the light on this.
They may say so, but the bottom line is they're still plotting ways.
All these pro-amnesty people are still plotting ways once they get back to serious legislative action after the presidential race to get what are you are you disagreeing with me?
Are you frowning because you think I'm making an idiot of myself?
Okay, good.
Don't give me that look again because I know it couldn't possibly be true.
So don't make me ask.
They're plotting ways to get that amnesty done one way or the other when they get back.
If you don't understand that, you don't understand who these people are and how they think.
Back in a second.
Hey, look at this.
A federal judge today has allowed Nevada's Democrat Party to conduct voting to choose a U.S. presidential nominee in casino hotels on the Vegas Strip.
A decision likely to boost Senator Barack Obama.
Yes, Clinton Inc. lost.
Clinton Inc. lost in their lawsuit.
And Reuters, we were just talking about, you know, how come the drive-mind is, you know, they're so supportive of the Clintons.
Court allows casino vote that may boost Obama.
I got a slogan for the Nevada caucuses.
And this is going to be great.
You know, Michelle back at the website does some of the great.
Have you seen, you guys, did you go to the website?
Have you seen the graphics that she put together for the Uncivil War of Clinton and let's see, Hillary, Charles Wrangell, and John Lewis.
We're all decked out in Civil War garb and Barack Obama in a lone union uniform with this exasperation.
So here's our slogan for the Nevada Democrat caucus.
Roll the dice on America.
Vote Democrat.
That's what we're calling it here.
Since they can vote in the casinos, this is going to tear the Clintons apart.
This is just going to infuriate them.
A couple more soundbites here.
Fred Thompson on a situation room.
Wolf Blitzer yesterday.
Blitzer said Hillary Clinton says if she were president, she'd have a 90-day moratorium that there would be no foreclosures at all.
No foreclosures over 90 days to help keep people from losing their homes.
Is that a good idea?
No, I mean, that's totally typical big government, you know, drop money out of a helicopter kind of approach.
You've got to have sound economic fundamentals.
Those who are paying taxes now, who would have a moratorium on their taxes for a year at the lower income tax bracket, you know, that would be people who are paying taxes that you'd give a benefit to directly in a child tax credit, for example, as I talked about, you know, that would find its way into the economy right now.
But if you're going to squelch a particular part of the economy for a period of time, that pressure builds up otherwise.
You're going to create a bigger bubble in the future than you have now.
It might sound good politically, but it's not practical.
You can't freeze.
What is it?
No foreclosures for 90 days?
Stop the market.
Just stop them.
Just put the brakes on the market.
No foreclosures.
Of course, this is, you know, we're going to have to do something about this because this appeals to a lot of people.
Yeah, stop those evil lenders from breaking people away from their homes, Mr. Limbaugh.
You just don't understand the pain and suffering that's out there.
Okay, so we'll foreclose on you three months from now, not in the next 90 days.
We'll give you 90 days to run out on the mortgage, to leave the country, to leave your town.
We'll give you 90 days.
You can't do this, guys.
It would wreck the mortgage industry, Which is what the Democrat, this is just so fundamentally simple.
Up next, Mitt Rum, Hannity and Colms last night.
Hannity said to you, you think Senator McCain's a conservative?
You think he's liberal?
Do you think his policies are closer to the Democrats on many issues?
I believe that lowering taxes helps stimulate the growth of the economy and allows us to have more funds for government, and of course, a lot more funds for the people whose taxes are lowered.
So I supported the Bush tax cuts.
He voted against the Bush tax cuts.
He was one of two Republicans to say no to the Bush tax cuts.
And at the time, what he was saying was he was against them because they were a tax cut for the rich.
And that's exactly the wording that came out of the Democratic playbook.
Now, he also, as you know, was a co-author of this bill providing a form of amnesty for illegal aliens.
That I think was an enormous mistake.
And of course, I think for a while there, maybe I'm wrong on this.
Wasn't he flirting with the idea of becoming a VP running mate of John Kerry?
I mean, that's not something I would contemplate out, to tell you the truth.
McCain feingold, I think, was an enormous error.
I'm sure it was done out of the best of intent to try and reduce the impact of money on politics.
But in fact, the influence of money in politics has gotten worse, not better.
I'll tell you how this business of intentions, I don't even want to get into it.
Examine results.
Examining intentions is how we've let the left get away with destroying the black family and other poor families with a war on poverty and a great society.
They've destroyed the health care system and on the way to with all of this stuff.
But their intentions, Rush, they only wanted to help people.
Yeah, well, they wanted to, but look what they ended up doing.
The intentions on McCain find the money in politics.
But that thing was so offensive from the get-go.
Every time I heard somebody say, Senator McCain, a whoff's, we're good people.
It's the money that's corrupting us.
And you got to get the money out of here.
The money is corrupt.
We're good people.
Get the money out.
We got more money in politics every year than we had a year before.
So it was the system that's corrupting everybody.
And of course, people bought that.
I was good intentions garbage.
The intentions of this were to silence critics of incumbents.
It was the incumbent protector.
That's exactly what the intentions were.
We are a bunch of idiots.
You cannot fool me, folks.
I know this.
Roll the dice.
Vote Democrat in the Nevada caucus.
Roll the dice on America.
Somebody has asked me, look, Rush, you can drink 24 hours a day in a casino, right?
You can smoke and all the.
Yeah, yeah, but the votes are not.
The caucus is not going to be in the casinos.

Yeah, you can get, well, these are culinary workers.
They'll be taking time off.
You think they drink on the job?
Come on.
Get serious.
See you tomorrow, folks.
