Time Text
Hey, have you folks seen the oil price?
I just checked it.
It's just under $122 a barrel.
That's up $10 in two days.
And do you have any idea why?
It's the Russians.
It's the KGB.
They've said now for how many days they're going to get out of Georgia, and they haven't left.
Now they're set up a demilitarized zone with 500 mercenary peacekeepers or something.
Keep the peace between Georgia and South.
I mean, it's not funny, but it's it's fun.
They just, and they need the gasoline price up, folks.
They need the oil price up, is what I mean to say.
That's that's the source of Putin's revenue to run that country the way he wants.
He can't afford for that price to come down, so this continuing unrest in Georgia is uh is working out just the way he wants it for the oil price to come up.
And once again, it's gonna highlight as this is it fluctuates, is gonna highlight our vulnerability here, keeping the issue alive for McCain and the Republicans.
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Great to have you here at the EIB Network.
By the way, Vladimir Putin with another announcement exclusive to you at the EIB network.
The old Soviet national anthem there.
They're getting it all back, ladies and gentlemen.
I want to expand a little bit on today's morning update.
Subject of the morning update today was the Democrat Convention, and this is the party of change, right?
This is the party of hope.
This is the party of the new future, and they're gonna bring out some real, real people.
One of the nights of their convention to address the convention.
Now stop and think about it.
Real real people.
That means that the Democrat Party, the real people they talk about are phonies, gotta have real, real people.
An Indiana railroader, an Iowa mother, and a Michigan truck driver getting a moment of the Democrat convention to help portray Obama as the people's champion and counter-Republican characterizations of him as an out-of-touch celebrity.
The idea is for these real people, as the campaign calls them, to share personal stories about why they are supporting Obama, and how they think he will help folks like them and the more than 20 million expected to be watching the convention at home, and every damn one of them is going to be miserable.
Every damn one of them is gonna be just this shy.
I've got my fingers about an eighth of an inch apart.
Each one of them is gonna be that far away from utter disaster, bankruptcy, destitution, depression, and hospitalization.
And the idea that this is something new.
By the way, who knew, ladies and gentlemen, that the elected ones were not real enough for prime time?
How come Democrats themselves, the real elected Democrats, are not enough to carry this message?
How come we gotta go get real real people?
The stated goal of this convention is to describe Obama's American story, his family roots, and his understanding of real people.
They can't do it without lying because none of that is true.
He's a silver spoon in his mouth kind of life.
Family roots.
Why don't get the half-brother, George Byung Young Hussein Obama from the little shackies over there in Nairobi and bring him over here?
There's a real guy for you.
He attempts to do this.
A Democrat convention has chosen a select number of real uh real people to speak.
Here's a list.
Mike Fisher, Amtrak machinist from Beach Grove, Indiana.
He's worried about job security with Amtrak facing tough financial times.
Two of his kids are struggling to pay off college loans.
His son has a new baby, no health insurance.
His son's sob story.
This is just one of these guys.
Now we see this constantly, folks.
They they parade these kinds of people up before various House and Senate committee hearings.
There's nothing new about this tactic.
It's right out of the playbook of the Democrat Party written back in the New Deal era.
Pamela Cash Roper and her husband of Pittsburgh, North Carolina, unemployed due to health problems, can't afford gas to leave the house much.
That's okay.
They just inflate their tires.
It shouldn't be a problem.
And then there is Zomera Rodriguez of Arena, Nevada, served in the Coast Guard as concerned about veteran affairs.
Beth Robinson, Chesapeake, Virginia, has multiple sclerosis.
And as the wife of a Marine who has served repeated tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, concerned about the housing market's decline, Roy Gross, a truck driver from Taylor, Michigan, a single father to a college age daughter.
Now, I am sure, ladies and gentlemen, these are all fine people.
I'm sure they're actually real, real people.
I'm sure they're fine, fine people.
And I know that there are tough times out there.
I'm not immune to people having the tough times.
We can we see evidence of it.
But why not highlight people who have overcome things like this?
Why not a little inspiration?
There isn't anything new.
All this talk of change is nothing new here.
This is standard from the Democrat Party playbook.
The parade of victims is what this is.
A parade of victims of eight years of George Bush and Cheney and Blackwater and Halliburton and Limbaugh.
Every major Democrat campaign this happens.
Soup Line America.
This is how they want you to see your country.
On the verge of collapse, where indigent citizens are clamoring for a savior to fix their lives.
But what would be amazing?
And we never have to worry about them doing this.
It would not be possible because they don't see things this way.
It would be great.
Just one time to see a political convention with real people.
The real people whose individual responsibility and effort can be showcased as the reason for their success.
People who have overcome hardships.
People who faced them squarely and didn't show up on a television show with 20 million people watching to complain about it.
They actually went out and attacked the problems using the abilities and means that they had at their disposal to overcome these protests.
Show that it can be done because the experience, the daily snapshot of America, is that people do it every day.
They do it all the time, and they don't have to wait for a Democrat convention to go on TV to highlight people, how about situations that they are in, so that we all circle our hands and arms and help each other out.
They don't do it that way.
Real people who understand that liberty and limited government are the foundation of our incredible standard of living...
Not a fraudulent candidate portraying himself as a messiah, able to fix all these problems.
He's not going to fix one thing in these people's lives.
They are being used as these kinds of people always are by Democrats to create an image in the minds of as many viewers as possible that their country sucks.
That their country is unjust, that the country is not what it once was.
The country is not what it could be.
Why, look at these poor people, suffering needlessly simply because of eight years of Republican rule.
How can you look at these people and be proud of your country?
That's why we Democrats share with you the fact that we are not proud of our country.
How can you look at these people and hear their stories and be proud of your how can you look at these people and even feed yourself tonight?
How can you look at these people and even let your kids go to college tomorrow without feeling overwhelming guilt?
How that's the reaction they want you to have.
Just like used to happen on the on during the 80s on the Thanksgiving, during the homeless debates, the homeless, all this uh this rasmatas about the homeless.
You know, you got two football games late in the afternoon, and at the halftime they go to the local news as a Sacramento, and they'd send a reporter at some infobe out to the nearby homeless shelter, and they'd go inside and they'd show these poor homeless people like they hadn't eaten in a month, just stuffing cells and mouths with their hands.
Look and and and the reporter would look at me, how can how can you how can we allow this to look at you're at home by the fire, you're watching football and eating turkey.
And look at these people how dare you.
This is it's a tactic.
It's a tactic the libs have used, and Obama tries to make everybody think that he is a man of change.
Things that have never happened are going to happen before.
The um real America does not need a politician to help individuals overcome the obstacles in their lives.
So the Dems are gonna have these portal winding people, sick and tired, think the Messiah is gonna come into DC and save them from gas prices, illness, housing woes, college tuition.
You may actually do a lot of that by lowering taxes, but of course we know that the Obama Messiah will not ever consider anything like that, nor will any other Democrat.
So they're gonna be used, put on parade, put on display, to once again convey the notion that our country is unjust and immoral, and then they are going to spread the felonious law.
Well, it's not felonious, the fallacious lie that the election of Obama and other Democrats will magically wipe all this misery out.
It'll just cause more.
Hi, Edward back.
I got another idea for the Democrats.
If they're gonna have this parade of real real people, if elected Democrats and delegates are not real enough, they gotta go have a real real people, then let's do another night at the convention, and let's call it victim night.
Because he can't call real real people night victim night, uh when he gave it a name.
But we got plenty of Democrat victims.
In fact, the night, here's who's speaking.
Got you got uh Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and uh the uh haughty John Kerry who served Vietnam, all speaking the same night at the convention.
Call it victim night, because they're all victims.
Carrie is a victim of fraudulent voting machines in Ohio.
Gore is the victim of a fraud social security or a Supreme Court decision in 2000, and Carter's a victim of something.
I mean, if he's a victim of Richard Nixon's great eulogy that Henry Kissinger gave uh when uh when Nixon was buried.
They think these guys are all victims, just call it victim night.
Anyway, back to the phones.
Elizabeth in St. Louis, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the uh EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Hey, just for the record, we have two homes.
It may be three, but I'd I'd have to check the title on this farmhouse we have.
I'm not sure whose name it's then.
Well, I'm happy to hear that.
The more homes the better.
That's what I always say.
That's right.
But I'm calling about uh Barack Obama.
I think he is sounding less and less presidential.
And if he keeps going this way, I mean, according to the drive-by-he's such a great orator.
If he loses that, I mean, that's all he's got.
That's a good sounding to me, I hate to say it, but he's sounding kind of like a brat.
He sounds like a well, he's always been a spoiled man child, I think, in terms of attitude, and he's certainly acting like it, now complaining about having to even run a campaign.
Uh he says, Jesus, guys in the Republicans have just blown this to shred so so bad, why do we even have to have a campaign, just throw these bums out?
Right.
Uh you know that he's he d he's not enjoying it.
I think the fun factor is gone from uh from this campaign for Barry.
Yeah, and it's been a slog.
I mean, it's been the longest campaign season ever.
And uh, you know, I just I think you're right.
I think he could be running out of steam.
And do you know who's uh rested and uh primed and ready to go?
Yeah.
Who?
John McCain.
Hillary.
Oh, Hillary, yes.
I wondered about that.
Because Hillary and Bill, they each have their own night at the convention, along with real real people night and victim night.
Right.
Right.
And they're arrested, and they're you're but you're right.
He's not sounding presidential.
He doesn't sound presidential off the teleprompter.
I mean, I'm being redundant uh saying this.
But it's uh it's striking to to uh to to note this.
Here is uh Robert in uh New Brunfeld, Texas.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here.
Uh nice speaking to you, Rush.
My calling about uh first what I mentioned your your uh screener was that uh John McCain's wife, I got an email a couple days and talked about how great she is and what she does for children around the world and even adopted a child, and you see her in the back, you know, I'm just a normal working guy out here six days a week,
and you don't you don't see her um stepping up and you know them talking about how much she does and what she does um for the uh quiet society, I should say, for the the children of this world and country, and they ought to be talking more about what she does and what she can do for um why?
Because she's the best part of him, I guess some people would say is the wife.
Yeah, but she's not on the ticket.
You know, we we've we've you know this this this business of two for one.
I uh that that that business started with the Clintons, and I'm not digging that.
That that's this is this is more of our mushmouth society.
This the she's she's gonna be the first lady, and she's gonna do the traditional first lady things.
She's made it very clear.
Yeah, but the mushmouth people out there, they're you know, they're that's part of the old the old side, what I call the old side, the Obama side.
They they want to see the whole package, and I I believe that some of the people in the Republican conservative side want to see the whole package there instead of her just standing in the back light.
I don't think that a wife can determine a vote for a candidate.
I think a wife can determine a vote against if the the wife rubs people the wrong way.
When this is where the Obama people learn this fast, that's why Michelle My Bell vanished for a while, got some sort of attitude makeover, and they just they put her out there very rarely now.
And when they put her out there, she's talking to kids and she's not arguing or shouting at anybody and she's not running down the country like she usually does.
So she was she was a she's a liability.
I don't know.
The the the the idea of a first this this is not a sexist comment, folks, but first ladies are not on a ballot until they put themselves there like Hillary did, and we all know why.
I mean, she that was payback for her stickable bill for all those years where he's running around and basically disrespecting her and the whole family.
But that that's that's um even even FDR and Eleanor that that was she was never part of campaigns.
They built her up into something after all that was happening.
But this is uh I don't think Cindy McCain, nothing against her.
But it I don't I don't think that uh you know she has any any particular ability to help or or hurt.
She's not a public person.
She hasn't been a public person.
She's uh she's been the supportive wife all along, and that's fine.
Robert, Staten Island, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Congratulations on your anniversary.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I'm a third-time caller, proud to say.
Well, good.
Uh I want to I was making a point to Snorley that you know, you're talking about the Democrats putting up their real people, you know, all of the soft stories.
Yeah.
We should counter and put up like a real man, like maybe such as myself, a guy who's a uh human construction worker.
I work hard, I run two small businesses, I don't want nothing from the government.
I'm happy ExxonMobil makes all the kind of kind of money it makes, because I have it in my 401, my pension plan, I have stock.
I want the government to do nothing for me.
I want them out of my life.
So like they should count by putting real people up to tell the true story of how great this country is, as opposed to people looking for handouts.
I would never go to a political rally and wave at these people.
They to me they're nothing but they're all corrupt anyway.
I just want them out of my life.
Let them leave me alone.
Let me go about making money take care of my family.
That's what I want.
Uh and you, I think, are representative uh a majority of the people in the country, and God bless you.
Because you know, people like you are the people that make the country work.
And again, uh uh these these people that that are gonna show up with a real real people night at the Democratic Convention.
I'm sure they're nice people.
I'm sure they're they found them and they're gonna be used.
I think it's just a it's it's a shame to to parade these people up as examples of the failings of the United States of America.
It's just it's offensive to see these people be used, and there's nothing inspirational about it.
Ha, great to have you back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh here, serving humanity with talent on loan from uh God.
Now there is an issue in this campaign that uh is not going to go away.
It is an issue that the Democrats and Obama are not going to be able to sweep aside.
It is very simply his thrice support, three times voting to support killing babies who survived abortions.
It ain't gonna go away as much as the Democrats would like for it to.
Three different times, Barack Obama has voted, and by the way, in voting for this, he has said that look, there weren't there weren't any provision in there to protect the sanctity of Roe v.
Wade.
And I did not gonna sign anything here that allows uh Roe vs.
Wade to be chipped away at.
Well, finally, that exact provision was put in legislation, both federal and in Illinois when he was in the state Senate there, and he still voted against it.
It was called the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
The Born Alive Infant Protection Act, and he votes against it three times.
The real reason he voted against it is simply to make sure to lay the proper groundwork for a future in politics by not ever going against the left wing on the subject of abortion.
You cannot anger if you have higher aspirations than state senator.
You cannot anger the nags, you cannot anger the nahrol people, you can't anger any of these leftist activist groups.
And the real reason, ladies and gentlemen, that he opposed this bill had nothing to do.
I don't believe for a minute, because even when he got the provision, it didn't change his vote.
I don't think that provision mattered.
I think very simply, his intellectual, if you can call it this, or the way he was instructed on this, look, the women, the woman wants an abortion.
Okay, so the abortion doctor botches it, and the baby lives.
Well, that's not what the woman wants.
So we gotta kill the baby.
That's the reason he supported it.
Pure and simple.
There is audio that has surfaced.
And I have a little bit of a transcript, not a transcript, I got a little clip here from April of 2002, the Illinois State Senate.
This is 17 seconds of Barack Obama debating the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
And that essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.
You understand this.
Do I need to translate this for anybody?
Okay, when he says, and that essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in to make these decisions is really designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor to perform an abortion.
What he's saying is the abortionist blows it.
He doesn't want another doctor brought in, one who is familiar with living babies, because that would burden the original decision of the mother.
Forget Roe versus Wade for a second.
Think infanticide.
Think the willingness to kill something that is alive.
Barack Obama votes for it three times and then tells people it's because it doesn't have a provision to protect Roe versus Wade.
Here's here's a full transcript of what he said as I understand it.
This puts the burden on the attending physician who had determined since they were performing this procedure, the abortion, that in fact this is a non viable fetus.
That if that fetus or child, however way you want to describe it, is now outside the mother's womb, and the doctor continues to think that it's non viable, but there's let's say movement or some indication that in fact they're not just coming out limp and dead, that in fact they they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is uh not a life child that could be saved.
He didn't want any of that to happen.
Because the original decision was abortion.
Now he's not gonna be able to run from this.
After all of this, and he has been called on this a countless countless number of times, he then accuses the people who are pointing this out of lying.
Last Saturday night, Lake Forest, California, after the Saddle Sore Civil Forum, the Christian broadcasting network's David Brody interviewed Obama, and he said, real quick, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
They're basically saying they felt like you misrepresented your position on that bill.
Here is a situation where folks are lying.
I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely and fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported, which was to say that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born, uh, even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion.
That was not the bill that was presented at the state level.
What that bill also was doing was trying to undermine Roe v.
We also had a bill, uh a law already in place in Illinois that ensured life-saving treatment was given to infants.
So for people to suggest that I and the Illinois Medical Society, so Illinois' doctors were somehow in favor of withholding life-saving support from an infant born alive is ridiculous.
Now, he said this last Saturday night, and he's lying through his teeth about it, and he's been caught, and the campaign is admitted that he lied.
And if they admitted that he lied, they then went after the critics again for getting so personal and being so mean.
So let's let's here here's here's Obama at at the Rick Warren Forum, talking about the whole concept of when, in your opinion, Senator's a baby get human rights.
Well, uh you know, I I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or uh a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity.
Uh uh, you know, is above my pay grade.
The fact is is that although we've had a president who's opposed to abortion over the last eight years, abortions have not gone down.
Yes, they have, but but I every time I hear this, you know, you everybody you know Chris Matthews talks about the tingle he gets up his leg when he listens to Obama, I get a chill up my spine.
He cannot give a number, an age, any age at which point a baby gets human rights that's above his pay grade.
Let's listen to him again in the Illinois Senate in April 2002, once again debating the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
And that essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.
Let me translate this for you.
Let's let's trust the guy who just botched the abortion to determine whether or not he actually did box the abortion, and that's it.
If a baby comes out and it's alive, Barack Obama thought it too damn burdensome to have another doctor, somebody used to dealing with live babies, check to see if the baby was viable.
It's uh the transcripts have been found.
If you want to read this in great detail, Eric Erickson, Redstate.com has uh has put uh put this together in a is it the timeline here that is uh is easily understandable?
This is shocking.
This this is this is as radical a position on abortion as anybody can take.
It's as radical as any candidate for the presidency has ever taken on this issue.
There is no remorse from the Messiah.
There is only the slashing criticism of his critics for pointing out the truth, which his campaign had to admit that he had lied about.
Nobody is lying about Obama when it uh when it comes to this.
A quick phone call here before we go to the break in uh Inverness, Florida.
This is Pete.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
I'm calling about the guy from Amtrak that's gonna be at the Democrat convention.
Yeah.
We've heard numerous reports that business At Amtrak is booming because of high gas prices, so how can this guy possibly in any danger of losing his job?
Well, I don't know.
It's a good point.
Uh, but he's he's Amtrak in Minnesota, I think.
Is Amtrak is it doing well all over the country?
Amtrak that's a good point, then Amtrak is doing good all over the country.
Uh, but who knows?
I that's a it's it's a it's a very wise question that you're asked.
Here's the guy, Mike Fisher, it's Indiana, I'm sorry.
Mike Fisher, Amtrak machinist from Beach Grove, Indiana, worried about job security with Amtrak facing tough financial times, two of his children are struggling to pay college loans.
His son has a new baby and no health insurance, and his son in law is in the National Guard facing possible deployment to uh to Iraq.
And and I you're right, the last I ever d the Amtrak cannot handle all the business that people want to send its way because of the rising gasoline prices.
One more quick point, if I may.
Yeah.
Uh didn't the uh teachers' unions teach his children about condoms when they were in school?
How did he get into situation where he has a baby and no insurance?
You you see, this is this is this is this you are you are illustrating exactly the cold hearted cruelty that has become this country.
Uh you are you are demanding that poor little innocent victims here of of life in America actually assume responsibility for themselves.
We haven't, we haven't required that, and I don't know how many decades.
Where have you been?
Let's have a great day.
Thank you.
All right, we'll be back and continue after this.
Let's go back to the audio sound bites last night on Dan Abrams on DNC TV.
And once again, if you uh haven't heard this, and you probably haven't if you weren't listening yesterday, Dan Abrams is out.
Uh, at uh DNC TV's nine PM show is being replaced by a um a failed liberal radio talk show host named Rachel Maddow, who's never attracted an audience or a dollar's worth of earnings, which m it well, I know she still has a radio show, but it's failing.
Where can you hear it?
At any rate, it doesn't matter.
She's got perfect resume for MSNBC, but poor old Dan.
I mean, he's they one time he was general manager of this network.
Then he had a show at six o'clock, they put him at nine o'clock.
He's been the he's been the butt boy all over this network, and they hadn't worked, and now the ultimate insult, Dan Abrams replaced by a person who has more testosterone than he does.
It's just unkind.
We offer again our condolences to uh Dan Abrams at DNC TV.
They had Pat Buchanan on last night.
They had this exchange about me and McCain's potential running mate.
Pat, let me ask you a separate question.
How much do the movers and the shakers on the right listen to Rush?
Like uh take advice from Rush.
I think it's it's it's something else.
I think they fundamentally agree with Russia.
Look, if if if he picks Joe Liebman, Joe Lieberman is a far almost on the far left of his party, a voting record, except for the war, except for the war.
I mean, he's pro-choice, pro-partial birth abortion, gun control, you name it.
To pick him like that, the Republican Party will say, We've got no soul.
We really don't believe anything.
We want to win so desperately.
We're gonna turn the nomination of the Republican Party, the number two slot potential president, over to an individual we denounced and rejected in 2000 when he was running as a Democrat.
It would say the Republican Party has no soul.
Republican Party is that that's that's a pretty good summation of of what the what the message would be.
And I wanted to go back to this topic because now we've got the audio of Obama supporting the killing of babies who survive abortions.
It's it's it's as uh it's stark a contrast as the um as the energy issue is.
So it's another golden opportunity here for Senator McCain and his campaign to draw a sharp distinction, which is important in these presidential races between himself and a Democrat candidate, uh Barack Obama, the Lord Messiah most merciful and all that.
And blow it sky high by putting a pro-choicer on the ticket.
We have here uh ladies and gentlemen, what do we have here?
A uh a montage of drive buys beside themselves that the mean, nasty Republicans are attacking one of their candidates in August.
The McCain campaign continues to run ads attacking Obama on a personal level, belittling him as a shallow celebrity and describing him as fussy, hysterical, or testy.
The attacks are working.
The negative campaign.
It's been effective for McCain.
McCain's negative ads, those Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears seem to have resonated.
The McCain criticisms have been working.
McCain has been running a really negative campaign.
He is attacking his patriotism.
The problem is it's working.
I've seen this campaign before it was 1988.
We wouldn't support the Pledge of Allegiance in the classroom.
What's his problem with the flag?
Another lost August for the Democrats.
Yeah.
Because don't forget now that drive-by's had the story yesterday at a boy the Boston Globe.
Why do all these Democrats have their patriotism questioned?
Another lost August for the Democrat.
It was Jack Cafferty.
Jack, it's because of who you people nominate.
You know, Matthews, Matthews, he was saying last night at his show, he's very worried.
He sees a rerun here of Dukakis in 1988.
The loser had all this big poll lead coming out of his convention, and Bush 41 caught him and so forth, did the stupid things like posing his Beadle Bailey in the tank.
And uh a number a number of other things.
Now let's go to McCain.
McCain was in uh Las Cruces, New Mexico to Town Hall meeting.
Here is an exchange between an unidentified uh uh member and Senator McCain.
I heard a rumor that you're you're uh I'm gonna pick uh pro-life uh VP.
Is that true?
Thank you.
We're going through the uh process.
Uh I I I said on Saturday night that I have a proud pro-life record in Congress, and I am proud of that.
I respect the views of others, but I also happen to believe that the noblest words ever written in history were those that said we hold these truths to be self-evident that all of us are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights among these are life.
I think liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I believe that life applies to those that are not born as well as those that are born.
All right, right on a crowd applauded.
Now, how do you put a VP on your ticket who's pro-choice after you say that and after what you said Saturday night at the Saddlesore Church?
How do you put a uh a pro-choice candid on the ticket?
You just you just can't, can you?
Yeah.
This much can, but they won't.
They're not gonna do it.
Here, uh, do we have time to squeeze this in?
Yes, we do.
Here's another exchange.
Are you gonna pick a vice president that conservatives can actually rally around in the future?
Or are you going to uh give us someone who will cause us to want to stay home, perhaps?
Thank you.
Well, sir, uh may I say, at least according to the polling data we have, we're doing very well with our base.
