Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Try that yourself.
I'm Rush Limbaugh.
This is the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
Great to be with you.
It's always a thrill, always an honor, always a delight.
Our phone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, the email address lrushbaugh at EIBnet.com.
You know, so I knew.
I knew that the Philadelphia Eagles fans were going to give Donovan McNabb a standing O.
I just knew it was going to happen.
I just, in fact, I was on Friday afternoon on this program, I was actually going to suggest, I was going to ask them to do that.
I was going to suggest that they do it.
But I didn't, as you remember.
I didn't say anything about it.
But I'm not surprised at all that they did.
I mean, it's just, it was the classy thing to do.
And they were, you know, McNabb.
Yeah.
That's not a surprise that they did something.
No, it's not.
It's not a surprise at all.
The conventional wisdom was they were going to boo.
Every sports writer in the world told you they're going to boo.
That should have told you they weren't going to boo.
That should have told you they were going to do just the opposite.
So anyway, for you Eagles fans that haven't heard, Vic has some injured rib cartilage day to day.
Don't know how bad it is.
The ribs aren't broken.
But Sean McCoy, is it his name?
Does have a broken rib out there.
But Vic, day to day, we'll see.
Elena Kagan, you know, the newest Supreme Court justice, she's going to have to recuse herself.
She is recusing herself 25 of the first 51 cases that the court has accepted this term.
Recusing herself over half of them.
The recruits, recusals, it says here, one in the Washington Post, are one measure of how integral the SG is to the court's workings.
Much of the court's caseload comes from challenges to federal statutes or government policies that the Solicitor General, ESG, must defend.
The court also often asks for the government's view on whether a case is ripe for review.
So basically, she's a non-factor for half of the cases.
Not a big deal.
I mean, I'm not saying it mitigates her being confirmed.
It's still a bad deal to have her on the court.
She's not a jurist.
She's not a judge.
She's a liberal activist.
She is Obama.
I'm surprised she's recusing herself.
I'm surprised she's going to go ahead and do that.
I mean, what the hell?
Rules?
This is about taking over the country.
Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Weissman, Obama likely to scale back legislative plans.
In new political landscape, incremental approach is in works to get support for some proposals on energy and immigration.
I don't believe this for a moment.
President Obama, facing, at best, narrower Democrat majorities in Congress next year, is likely to break up his remaining legislative priorities into smaller bites in hopes of securing at least some piecemeal proposals on energy, climate change, immigration, and terrorism policy, White House officials say.
In a series of recent campaign appearances, Obama has talked up the stakes in November as he seeks to energize supporters and retain Democrat control of Congress.
Same time, White House officials have begun revamping their legislative strategeries and talking about a new, more incremental approach championed by former Chief of Staff Rah Emanuel, who, by the way, already running for governor in Chicago.
Mayor, already running for mayor.
He got off the wherever he got off of, and he's already starting to run around neighborhoods.
In fact, he produced a video in Washington, made to look like Chicago to announce his intentions.
But this is a feint.
This is a head fake.
No way, Obama, this is a takeoff on how Clinton supposedly triangulated after 94.
Obama is not Clinton.
Obama's not going to slow down.
Obama's not going to moderate.
He's not going to go incremental.
He's not going to try to get amnesty done in piecemeal fashion.
Amnesty is kind of going to try to get done without legislation.
Amnesty is going to try to get done with some combination of executive orders and others, other executive actions.
Well, no, it doesn't concede that the Democrats are losing.
It says here, at best, facing narrower Democrat majorities.
Now, the New York Times was out with a piece yesterday saying that Republicans are saying this is no, no, no way, guaranteed shot that we pick up the House.
Republicans.
This also happened in 1994, by the way.
People have gone back and looked at it.
But this is misdirection.
This is like play action.
I mean, this is a giant fake, both of these stories.
Boehner is happy, he says, that the New York Times story is out.
Everybody's talking about complacency on the Republican side.
I don't think that's, the Tea Party's not going to be complacent.
Tea Party voters can't wait.
I wish the election were tomorrow.
Nobody's going to get overconfident here and not show up thinking that their vote's going to be taken care of by somebody else who does show up.
I just don't think for a moment that Obama is going to go incremental.
I think he's going to go pedal the metal.
If my theory is right, he has to go pedal the metal.
He has to go pedal the metal to have Republicans say no, so that he can paint them as the extruptionists and obstructionists and run against them in 2012.
How about that pre-existing condition for your health care?
Boy, it's not looking good out there.
You want to keep your doctor?
You can't.
And now this, this is by Ricardo Alonzo Zaldibar of the Associated Press.
It's a centerpiece of Obama's healthcare remake, a lifeline available right now to vulnerable people whose medical problems have made them uninsurable.
But the pre-existing condition insurance plan that started this summer is not living up to expectations.
Enrollment lags in many parts of the country.
People who could benefit may not be able to afford the premiums.
Some state officials who run their own high-risk pools have pointed out potential problems.
California, which has money for about 20,000 people, has received fewer than 450 applications.
The program in Texas have enrolled about 200 by early September.
In Wisconsin, Goldman said that they've received fewer than 300 applications so far, with room for about 8,000 people in the program.
This is not how it was supposed to work.
I mean, these programs were supposed to be completely full.
Government economists projected as recently as April that 375,000 people would gain coverage this year, and they questioned whether $5 billion allocated to the program would be enough.
The federal risk pool has definitely provided critical access, in some cases life-saving access to health insurance, said Arnie Goldman, the chair of a National Association of State High-Risk Insurance Pools.
But that said, enrollment's far lower than we would have expected.
And you know why?
Because it turns out it isn't free.
People are showing up, and they believed that getting insurance for pre-existing conditions now was going to be permitted.
Of course, it really isn't insurance.
It's welfare.
If we're going to be honest about terminology, if you don't have any coverage, and all of a sudden you come down with a disease, and then you go get insurance, what you're buying is not insurance.
You're buying welfare.
And even at that, people can't afford the premiums of Obamacare on these pre-existing condition plans.
Yeah, it was supposed to be free.
Here, toward the end of the story, when it explains why all of this under-enrollment, you have to go down to the end of the story.
Premiums may be out of reach.
In many states, people in their 40s and 50s face monthly premiums ranging from $400 to $600 and higher.
They thought it was going to be free.
Don't laugh.
They did.
A lot of people thought all this is going to be free, enrolling their kids.
Up to age 26, thought it was going to be free.
This is how the Democrats promoted it.
Just like free houses, except this one's on fire.
Exactly right.
They let it be assumed that this was going to be paid for by a couple millionaires.
You know, Obama's out there saying the average premium is going to go down $2,500 a year.
Nobody will be denied coverage.
You'll be able to keep your own doctor.
None of it.
Nobody will be denied coverage except if you deny yourself because all of a sudden you can't afford what you thought was going to be free.
Your guiding light.
The trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, implosions, explosions.
Yes, even the good times.
Rush Limboy.
And to the phones we go to Frederick, Maryland.
This is Lorna.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Very well.
Thank you.
Good.
Congratulations on your marriage.
And I've listened to you since you were on TV.
Now I'm giving away my age.
Well, mine, too.
That goes back to 1992, 94, somewhere around there.
Yep.
Yeah.
I've learned a lot from you, learned a lot.
But I just wanted to share my family.
We sat, we watched the family guy last night and thought it was awesome.
Enjoyed Nancy Pelosi in our office there and the erotic thing with Barney Frank.
And one interesting fact, my son, who's just 13, but he's very wise for his age, at the end of the show, when you were flying out and it turned into the eagle and ended the show, he looked at us and he said, they should have had two right wings on the eagle.
That's cute.
That's cute.
But one thing I wanted to share earlier in the show, you were talking about racist and who is racist, the 31% or the 91%.
Yeah.
Again, my son, who's very much could have a political future, you never know, but he was at school in middle school, and you know how much education you get, especially about history in middle school.
And they had a discussion, I guess, on President Barack Obama, and he raised some questions.
And apparently a couple African-American kids said to him, well, you don't like President Obama.
You're a racist.
And my son turned to them and he said, just because I don't like President Obama does not make me a racist.
So I thought, you know, good for him.
It is pretty good for him at age 13 to have that kind of presence in mind.
But this is all predictable.
It was I, your host, El Rushbo, back when so many people thought that the election of the first black president would end racism, bring about harmony and so forth.
I said, folks, it's only going to make it worse.
Any criticism of the guy is going to be said to be racist.
And it is to this day.
This is what Republicans are still afraid of, in fact, is being called racist.
If they criticize him.
They're still afraid to jump all the way in with both feet on that, on this, because they're afraid of that charge, of being called racist.
But the question she's referring to, there's a poll, a Gallup poll, 91% of blacks approve of the job Obama's doing, 36% of whites approve.
So who's the racist?
The 91% of blacks are the 36% of whites.
That was the question.
Mike of New York City, great to have you on the program.
Hello, sir.
Meghan Ditto's Rush.
I'm a big fan.
Thank you.
I'm going to have to disagree with the two previous callers who have commented on the Family Guy episode.
At the risk of offending you, I'm a big fan and a longtime listener.
I've watched Family Guy many, many times.
I think it's very funny.
But as a conservative, I can see obviously the bias that Seth McFarlane puts into the show over the years.
Right.
I think you were portrayed as charming and funny and self-deprecating and gregarious.
And I think conservatism was mocked, like you've gotten some criticism that you've said in some emails.
You were, you went along with it, but I think the bottom line is just look at the way Cheney was portrayed in the caricature.
You know, they take shots on both sides at liberals and conservatives.
But I really think that it was definitely less flattering to the conservative principle than you might have seen looking at it firsthand.
Well, no, I haven't looked at the script.
I didn't see the animation.
I looked at the script and they made fun of George Bush.
I am handing him a lollipop.
That was funny, though.
Well, that was funny?
It was funny.
Now, why was that funny?
And what Cheney was, why was that funny?
Well, Cheney's made out to be a monster.
The left can't even make a meaningful caricature of Cheney.
It's always in.
Let me tell you something.
It's interesting.
I got a note from Seth McFarlane before the program aired last night.
I had not seen the program.
I just seen my script.
I'd seen the whole script, but I'd seen my partner, everybody else's partner.
I had not seen any of the animation other than what they released last week.
And Seth sent me this note.
He was getting hate mail like he has never received it before from people who thought he had screwed up by making me look human.
He had made a drastic error by making conservatism look funny and nice and reasonable, and they were accusing him of being a sellout.
And what he said to me in the email, he said, I was rushed.
I have to tell you, my people, my side of the aisle, supposedly all these tolerant, open-minded, willing to accept all points of view.
These people, you're more progressive than they are.
These people have absolutely no sense of humor about anything in the show last night.
He was getting more beat up than I am.
Well, I think you've said that over the years.
We know who the real closed-minded people are, and the most dogmatic of all people are atheists and folks who can't even hear an opinion that slightly disagrees with their own.
Right.
But I don't trust Seth McFarlane.
That's the bottom line.
And, you know, there were funny aspects to it.
But on the whole, I think it was a bit more insulting than you're admitting to, to conservatism, not to you.
You came off looking like a superhero.
You actually were a superhero in the show, you know, beating up all the muggers who went after Brian.
I just do not trust Hollywood.
Seth MacFarlane has proven his, you know, I know this guy's stripes.
I can see it in what he's put out there.
I've heard him speak.
I've listened to him.
Yeah, okay.
Let me tell you something.
If you know all that, then you have to admit this episode was tame compared to other things Seth McFarlane has done to conservatism and conservatives previous episodes of Family Guys.
I would definitely agree with that.
And when you say they made me look like a superhero and a gregarious, nice guy, I am conservatism.
Well, you are a huge part of it, no doubt.
But, you know, and I don't want to sound the slightest bit condescending, but your ego got stroked very well in that episode.
And don't detach yourself from it.
No, no, no, look.
Let me tell you something.
My ego didn't get stroked.
I don't want to be offended.
Oh, this is not.
My ego didn't get stroked.
There were a couple things in that show last night I didn't like.
There were a couple things in the show in the script that I didn't like.
There were some things that I demanded they change, and they did change.
I don't even remember what they are now.
When I first looked at the script, there were some things in there that I said, I'm not going to say this.
It was not about me.
It was about other conservatives.
But, you know, toward the end of the program, when I'm telling the dog, hey, look, if there's whatever, whatever, I'll be there.
I mean, clearly, conservatism was being negatively cliched in those two lines.
But it's a cartoon.
It's a comedy show.
And to me, this was not the place to draw a line in the sand, given what it is.
It's Sunday night.
It's up against football.
The Chicago Bears, New York Giants, which had a record rating last night, by the way, or close to it.
Sunday night football last night was over the top because they had New York and Chicago as markets playing.
But no, you can tell me whatever you thought of this thing all you want.
You will not hurt my feelings.
You won't offend me at all.
NetNet, luckily I had a DVR, so I watched both the football game and the Family Guy.
But I think, on the whole, I would say it was still a positive that you did it.
And I think that you introduced your persona to a lot of people who would never, ever otherwise have seen you or heard you firsthand.
Well, that's why Seth McFarlane was getting all the hate mail that he was getting from his people.
So that's a good observation you made.
That's a pretty good point.
We must take a brief time out.
We'll be right back.
And we are back.
El Rush Bowl, half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, CNNMoney.com, latest unemployed stimulus subsidized workers.
Tens of thousands of low-income workers lost their jobs last Thursday as a stimulus-subsidized employment program came to an end.
About a quarter of a million people, 250,000 people, for those of you in Rio Linda, in 37 states, were placed in short-term jobs thanks to a $5 billion boost to the temporary assistance and needy stimulus.
States used about $1 billion to provide subsidized employment, with the remaining funds going to cash grants, food programs, housing assistance, and other aid.
About half the jobs were summer employment for youths.
The rest were disadvantaged parents.
Each state configured its initiative differently.
Some covered all the workers' wages for a few months.
Others paid for a portion.
With the program expiring, many of the adults have been told not to report to work anymore.
Well, then these never were jobs.
They were never jobs.
And this is these are jobs that Biden, Obama running around saying that they created or saved.
They were phony, artificial, make-work jobs, not created by any economic circumstances, but simply paid for by you and me.
A transfer payment of tax dollars to certain people.
And now the money's gone.
The money's been spent.
And whatever jobs these people were doing apparently are not needed because the work isn't necessary because it's over.
Latest unemployed stimulus subsidized workers.
CNN's got it right in their headline.
Stimulus subsidized workers.
Subsidized.
There was no work.
There was no real job.
Therefore, there was no real employment.
Summer jobs for the youth, whatever the hell I want to call it.
Subsidized jobs for disadvantaged parents?
I mean, it's outrageous.
Every bit of this was predicted.
Every bit of this was known to be the case beforehand.
And everybody jumping all over me.
Well, how dare you say you want him to fail?
How dare you criticize?
Well, he's just trying to help people.
I had a call last week, Indian Bob, the guy with a lot of firewater.
I got email about this guy from, I can't tell you how many people.
Bob was drinking too much firewater, they all said.
This guy's Obama just trying to help people.
No, he's not.
This is the dirty little secret.
He's not trying to help people.
It's plain and simple.
It's black and white.
If Obama were trying to help people, his policies would be exact opposite of what they are.
This program did not help people.
This is nothing more than a disguised unemployment insurance extension bill.
And now the money's gone, and where are these people?
They got nothing.
They depended on the government.
And where are they?
Nowhere.
They're no further ahead than they were before they took the so-called stimulus job.
Obama is not trying to help people.
So now he's got a whole bunch of people just waiting on the next handout or waiting on the next jobs training bill or something else from Obama's stash.
And then there's this story for the Los Angeles Times.
I guess they're running a continuing series at the LA Times called America Out of Work.
How dare they?
The recession ended over a year ago, and they've got an ongoing series called America Out of Work.
Kind of like America held hostage.
America Out of Work.
Automation is increasingly reducing U.S. workforces.
Farmers are among those opting for machines to perform tasks while reducing costs and boosting productivity.
This is from Button Willow, California.
The ground trembles on Mike Young's almond farm as forklift-size yellow machine grabs a tree trunk and shakes it hard.
Nuts rain down like hailstones where they'll lie until another machine comes along and sorts them.
Young once grew tomatoes, cucumbers, and cotton, but in recent years he has shifted almost exclusively to nuts as worldwide demand has made the crop more profitable.
And there's another reason for abandoning row crops.
Employees are a headache.
Automation means that Young no longer needs large crews of farm workers to plant or harvest and no more worrying about status, pay, or benefits.
Labor is so expensive, said Mr. Young.
This is Mike Young, whose great-grandfather started farming row crops in Kern County, Bakersfield, in 1910.
There's their wages, a truck, insurance, workers' comp, the safety regulations.
We went to a high-value crop that needed less labor input.
He estimates that at seasonal peaks, he now employs 70% fewer workers.
Now, who is this hurting?
Because this is work Americans refuse to do, right?
We've heard this, except for Stephen Colbert.
He'll go do it.
But Americans won't do this work.
So who's doing this work that no longer exists?
That's right.
Thirdly, the illegal immigrant community, quote unquote, the illegal immigrant community.
This is a big, big blow to the illegal immigrant community.
Alan Sinai, the chief global economist of decision economics in Boston, said, if cheap technology is available, you substitute technology for people.
Crisis is a catalyst for change.
With their business hammered by 9-11, airlines cut labor costs by switching to computer kiosks to check in customers, said Greg Buzek, president of retail technology consulting firm IHL Group.
So if cheap technology is available, you substitute technology for people, which is what, 70% America out of work.
There's nothing new about this.
This is the dirty little secret.
They're trying to pass this story off as some new example of evil behavior by American business ownership, be it small business or large business.
Look at them.
Look at these people.
They don't care.
If they can get it cheaper by getting rid of 70% of their workforce, then they'll do it.
Let me tell you something, folks.
The purpose of a business is not to make sure you have a job.
The purpose of a business is to not make sure your community has clean streets.
The purpose of a business is not to ensure that you have health insurance.
This guy stays in business if his product is affordable by the end user, the customer.
And if he can get a machine to come along and shake his trees and his nuts hit the ground and another machine comes along and sorts his nuts and takes them to the market and they're a lot cheaper than if a bunch of hand guys picked his nuts, why is he to do?
He's saving huge dollars.
He'd be nuts not to do this.
The bottom line.
So now we've got the LA Times, America out of work, doing this horrible, horrible, how heartless, how heartless can Mike Young be?
He used to have illegal immigrants picking his nuts and now machines doing it.
Not only picking the nuts, but shaking the nuts right off the trees.
Mike, Grand Rapids, Michigan, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Why, thank you.
Nigger Ditto, Rush.
I was watching the family guy episode last night with my wife and my three-year-old daughter.
Three?
We really enjoyed it.
Your three-year-old daughter.
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah, we thought it was great.
We don't figure if you can't poke fun at yourself.
I'm a very conservative person and getting my wife in that vein as well.
She's not quite a liberal, but she's starting to see things in a new way.
Well, I've been married a couple years.
Is your wife listening right now by any chance?
I don't believe so.
Well, then you're probably telling the truth about it.
Just a little bit liberal.
Oh, yes.
But, you know, if liberals can't be poked on that and conservatives can't be poked on that, then what's the point?
Well, let me tell you something.
Liberals cannot laugh at themselves.
The last time I liberals don't laugh, period.
They're constantly wringing their hands, upset about something.
If you can't laugh at yourself.
I mean, there's no, that's a huge part of life to me, being able to laugh at yourself.
And when you laugh at yourself, it doesn't mean you don't take yourself seriously at all.
Quite the opposite.
David in Washington, you're next.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Rush, I live on Capitol Hill, and every day I walk from Capitol Hill.
I live three houses from Barbara Boxer.
Every day that I walk from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
And I was taking my normal walk on Sunday morning around 6 o'clock in the morning.
And I have to tell you, the place was a mess.
It was a pig sty.
I saw pictures.
This is after the Communist Socialist Rally on Saturday, right?
Yes, it was disgraceful.
Rush, I saw tons of anti-war literature just flooding the World War II memorial.
They made no attempt to take their stuff back that they couldn't distribute.
At the Washington Monument, I saw hundreds of box lunches that were just all over the place.
They made no effort to put the box, empty box lunches near the overflow.
So what do you expect?
These are union people that showed up.
You expect them to do any work?
Rush, I saw hundreds of SEIU purple placards just thrown around everywhere.
And Rush, I have to also tell you, I went to the Lincoln Memorial two hours after the Glenn Beck rally for the sole purpose of investigating the garbage situation because I had been there around 10 o'clock in the morning.
Rush, I was actually there at 4 o'clock in the morning the first time I took my dog for a walk.
There were thousands of people, thousands of people at 4 o'clock in the morning sitting on their lounge chairs at the Lincoln Memorial.
And when I went at 6 o'clock on Saturday morning, there was nobody there.
And I have to tell you, Rush, and I'm not a tea party person.
I went before the rally and after the rally with my dog.
And I was there two hours after the rally at the Glenn Beck rally.
That place was immaculate.
There were scores of white garbage bags that they obviously brought themselves that they put near the overflowing garbage can.
I know.
We've seen the pictures.
And it happens.
I don't care where conservatives gather in mass.
This is always the case.
They always clean up the mess.
Dan's big sale, 80,000 people in Fort Collins, Colorado.
It was the same way.
And so much so that the newspaper out there was stunned.
They remarked about it.
I've seen the pictures of them all after the Beck rally, and you're right, it was pristine.
And I saw pictures after the Communist Socialist rally yesterday or Saturday.
It's a pig style.
And it's always that way.
Now, you nailed it when you said they leave their literature around, that they weren't able to pass out because there weren't enough people there to pass.
So they leave it there, hoping other people will see it.
And plus, it pollutes the place.
But the interesting thing about this rally, folks, normally, the Communist Party is very much a part of all of these such rallies, the socialist rallies, the anti-American rallies, the anti-war, all of these supposed new way to define yourself, American rallies.
And normally the Communist Party is there, they're big organizers, but they stay behind the scenes because they don't want to have a negative connotation of PAT attached to the progressive, to the liberals there.
This time, they didn't care.
This time, it was well seen that members of the Communist Party, USA, were there, and organizations promoting socialism and communism were there.
Now they're not worried.
They're not worried about causing aspersions to accrue to the American left.
You know, the communists used to hide.
In this rally on Saturday, they didn't.
But there weren't that many people.
You ought to look at the pictures of the Beck rally compared to this thing.
Nobody.
I mean, the pictures are stark.
There was nobody at this thing.
And you're not going to see the drive-bys will not show you the signage, the pictures, the pamphlets, the stuff that you saw, David, as you're walking around.
They know full well who was at this rally and what it was all about.
But they are not going to have pictures of this stuff broadcast to the rest of the country.
I got this story here by the State Control Associated Press, and I have to ask myself, if the UK, if England has been taken over by a bunch of mean, evil, uncaring conservatives, listen to this.
I say that in parody.
Britain will cap payments to jobless families and scrap child benefits for high earners in a sweeping overhaul of the country's welfare system, according to Treasury Chief George Osborne.
Osborne, seeking to save about $135 billion, 86 billion pounds, in government spending over the next five years, said the cost of welfare payments was out of control and rewarding some people for staying out of work is no longer an option.
So everywhere around the world where they tried this before, we are going full-fledged for it.
They're discovering it doesn't work.
It's breaking their bank.
It's busting their system and they're cutting back while we proceed full speed ahead, knowing full well that this is right where we're headed and it's all being done on purpose.
At an annual rally of his Conservative Party, Osborne, who's the Treasury Chief again, said Britain's coalition government is going to introduce a new welfare cap to make sure families in which both parents are unemployed do not receive more in benefits than an average family earns in wages, which is the case right now.
It's just they can't afford it.
They've long been broke in the UK.
We're broke.
They're facing up to it, and we aren't.
From the Washington Times Gallup poll, Democrats losing Hispanic voters.
This is the same poll that shows 91% of blacks approve the job Obama's doing.
36% of whites do not.
And just stop and think of that by itself.
This is standalone.
And remember what we were told the election of Obama would be.
Post-partisan, post-racial, harmony, kumbaya.
All these reasons to be divided.
Gone.
According to the latest reports from Gallup, Hispanics have peeled off from Democrats in August and September.
Hispanic voters' support for Democrat candidates waned in August and September.
As a result, Hispanics in September favored Democrats by only a 13% majority, compared with a 32-point majority in June and July.
Whites in September favored Republicans over Democrats by a 14-point margin, similar to their support over most of this year.
So Democrats are losing Hispanics.
They're in the process.
They're peeling away.
You can ask yourself why.
We could probably answer it if we had time, but we don't.
The biggest reason for it is they're not monolithic.
We'll be back.
Sit tight.
You know, a problem everybody makes, they think Hispanics are all one group of people, and they are not.
Hispanics are composed of various individuals of various races, different countries and territories throughout the world.
Both parties look at them as a monolithic group of people.
And the Republicans, they're ruling class rhinos.
They always told us we had to pander.
We had to go for amnesty.
We had to open the borders or we would drive all the Hispanics to the Democrats.
