Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, got that?
12 through 17, and we'll double back and get four going order from there.
You got that?
All right.
Show prep happening even as the program starts, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you here.
El Rushbo, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha Rushi behind the golden EIB microphone.
So, ladies and gentlemen, if it takes a reality star to force Obama's hand on his birth certificate, and everybody's asking, why now?
Why now?
I think I've got the answer.
I think it's all about polling data.
I think up till now, the polling data showed that it was a winning issue for Obama.
The birthers were considered crackpots and that polling data showed as long as it continued that way, that there was hay to be made by Obama by not releasing the birth certificate and stoking these people.
But then Trump comes along.
And I really believe that the polling data, the internal polling data the White House run shows that the issue was starting to take place.
You saw that poll yesterday in USA Today, 38%, 40%, whatever it was, of the American people don't think he's born in this country.
I think the polling data shifted.
No, and it wasn't all Republicans in that poll that showed that shockingly high number.
You know, Obama, every president, sad to say, every president is poll-driven.
I mean, Clinton, he even polled what to wear after he polled where to go on vacation.
And we know that this regime is just as poll-driven and oriented.
So it probably went from a net positive to something that was starting to show a major problem, credibility, dishonesty, what have you.
Now, if that's correct, and since it's my opinion, it probably is.
So I always say don't doubt me, then what it really shows, and this is going to irritate a lot of people, what it shows is Trump's ability to connect with average voters in a way that, well, nobody else has been able to connect on this.
Nobody else has been able to force Obama to do this.
How long has it been going on?
Two and a half years, even longer than that.
All of a sudden, here comes Trump, and lo and behold, they produced a long-form birth certificate.
So if it takes a reality star, reality TV star, in fact, I think, and there's a piece I have in the show prep stack of stuff today.
Somebody has the opinion that politics has become nothing more than a reality show.
And I can relate to it because when I did the Haney project on the Golf Channel, I've had my turn at reality TV.
You know, the only difference in reality TV and regular TV, the writers in reality TV are not unionized.
Reality TV thus is much cheaper to produce.
But reality TV, don't doubt me on this, folks, is just as scripted.
Well, not just as scripted, but it's not reality either.
They have an outcome they want, and they're going to get there while leading everybody to believe that that's what naturally happened along the way.
Now, if you are asking me, are you saying Rush, you didn't shoot in 83?
No, I'm not saying that on the final episode of the Haney Project.
I'm just, you know, I don't want to get into too much detail about it because I don't want to get distracted here.
I'm just telling you that this guy has this piece that all of politics has become a reality show.
And I've often pointed out that politics is showbiz for the ugly, showbiz for the unattractive.
Evidence is the annual White House Correspondence Center, which is coming up soon.
And once again, I was invited by four different organizations.
I politely declined three of them and emphatic, emphatically declined one.
What?
Oh, I despise them.
What do you mean it's always such fun?
Snurdy, the last one I went to was 1993.
Well, how many years ago was that?
1993, that's 18 years ago.
No.
Yeah, somebody, whatever.
How can you say it's always so much fun?
We get mileage out of one joke.
I just, the whole thing is a phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and roller night.
You got people in the room that hate each other, acting like they're best friends for a couple of three hours.
It's just, you know, not my cup of tea.
Okay, so at any rate, Trump was in the context of politics being a reality show, Trump was hilarious this morning.
It was absolutely hilarious.
And, you know, Obama was scheduled to show up at 9.45.
Trump kept going.
He delayed Obama showing up.
And just in terms of theatrics, and I know that the purists don't want to even hear it discussed this way, but in terms of theatrics, there was no comparison in the energy and the confidence of the two combatants in the competing press conferences.
Obama's presser was basically a snore fest.
And Trump's was alive and filled with vigor and a lot of energy.
So what do we have?
We have a reality star that has forced Obama's hand on the birth certificate.
Now, maybe, maybe that's the key.
Because even Trump, Trump took credit for it, said it was one of the proudest days of his life.
He started.
I'm really proud of myself.
Everybody thought that Trump was going to be eating crow.
He starts out by saying it was the proudest day of my life.
Look what I did.
Only I was able to do this.
I mean, for a while, I thought, my gosh, I'm watching myself here.
I got the biggest kick out of it.
So reality TV star ends up forcing Obama's hand on the birth certificate.
Maybe, you ever watch the show The Biggest Loser?
Okay, they've got that hardbody female who's the host, Jillian, what's her Jillian Michaels, yeah.
Maybe she can get Obama to produce an actual budget proposal.
Maybe if she gets on a case here, where's your budget, Obama?
Show us your budget.
You keep running around the Republican budget.
Where's yours?
And then there's a show called Hardcore Pawn, P-A-W-N.
And Trump even brought the Trump said, okay, now we want to see the transcripts.
Now we want to see the grades.
How did he get into Harvard?
How did he get into Columbia?
We want to see the proof of this.
Well, maybe the hardcore pawn guys can do that.
Then there's this guy.
You've seen this guy, Dog the Bounty Hunter.
He lives in Hawaii.
Dog the bounty hunter.
He could demand that Obama take a lie detector test as to whether or not Bill Ayers wrote his first book.
I mean, the possibilities here, folks, are endless.
And that's right.
No, Snerdley, it's right.
Trump does not eat crow.
He eats other people's lunches.
He does not eat crow.
And, you know, you can tell, folks, that the networks did not want to leave the Trump presser.
I'm watching Fox.
I'm watching PMS NBC.
And they've got Obama in the little box.
Obama comes, and you could see they were just, I mean, MSNBC was the first to pull out Wolf Blitzer.
Where is this?
Wolf Blitzer.
What is it?
Blitzer, after Trump finished speaking, Blitzer said that he has seen all of Obama's grade transcripts from college and that they were excellent.
Now, how did that happen?
Now, so we needed a reality show to tell Wolf Blitzer to tell us how he's seen them because they're sealed.
Every reality show should take on an issue now and get themselves publicity that can't be purchased.
And of course, there's Obama at his own presser today saying, we don't have time for this silliness.
We've got serious things happening out there.
What does he do?
He leaves and gets on a plane with Muchel to go to Chicago to tape Oprah.
And after they finish taping Oprah in Chicago today, a very serious interview, I'm sure, then they're going to fly to New York for a rush hour series of three fundraisers.
They're going to shut down the FDR.
They're going to shut down the Upper East Side during rush hour.
So this is Obama demanding it.
We get back to seriousness now.
Enough of silly season.
He flies off to do the interview with Obama.
So, and Trump has got another catchphrase to be remembered by.
He's got, you're fired, and now he's got I won.
And Obama thought he had the trademark on that.
Anyway, Joe Klein at Time magazine, what happened to all the moderate Republicans?
And he praises this wonderkind writer at the Washington Post, Ezra Klein.
Why aren't there moderate Republicans anymore?
This is sort of a takeoff on Pelosi the other day saying, why can't we get back to the day when elections didn't matter that much?
Because there wasn't any difference between the Democrats and the Republic.
It didn't really matter who won.
What she really meant by that, why didn't it matter?
Why can't we get back to the days when Republicans were steady losers and they didn't care?
And they point out that Obama, Joe Klein says, Obama's really a moderate Republican from the 1990s.
If you look at Obama's policies, he's exactly like George W. Bush in the early 1990s.
Says here that the individual mandate universal health care plan was originally a Republican idea.
First version I saw in the early 90s was Stuart Butler's Heritage Foundation plan.
This is what they claim here at Time magazine.
So Obama favored that.
They say Obama favored a cap and trade plan to limit carbon emissions, but the first Bush administration passed a very successful cap and trade plan for acid rain emissions.
So going on and on, there's no difference whether those old Republicans in the 90s were good old moderate Republicans.
What they were were rhinos.
And of course, Klein and his buddies would like to revisit those days.
But then you get to the meat and potatoes of the piece.
How did the Republicans go so far astray?
Why did it work?
From time to time, electorally.
Why weren't the Democrats more effective in stopping these conservative Republicans?
Why didn't the society's major conservative economic stakeholders renounce this sideshow and demand a more reasonable brand of conservatism like we had from Bush 41 and the early 90s Republicans?
Two words come to mind, Fox News, and two more words, Rush Limbaugh.
So the piece here at Time Magazine is, Joe Klein, it's all about how Fox News and I, basically Roger Ailes and I have destroyed the Republican Party, the grand old days of moderate Republicans like Bush 41, the Rhinos.
And gee, why can't we revisit?
Why can't we go back to those good old days?
What happened to all the moderate Republicans?
Joe, let me tell you something.
The objective here is to make them an extinct species.
And we are on the way.
By the way, the Time magazine article, Heritage Foundation Supporting an Individual Mandate, the Heritage Foundation, and I know these people, they have been begging the news media to quit lying about them and mandatory health insurance for I don't know how long.
This is one of those things that's in the Nexus Lexus database and they can't get it out of there.
But the Heritage Foundation, they've never signed on to this unconstitutional individual mandate.
It has never been part of a Heritage Foundation healthcare solution, but it continues to be included in smear pieces.
Now, this thing that happened today with Trump, any average politician, and I'm not calling Trump a politician, and a lot of people don't like that, but he's not a politician.
They want politicians, I mean, professional politicians, a business.
It has certain requirements.
But you realize what would have happened today if an average politician had gone to the mat for the past six months, three months, whatever it is, on this birth certificate business.
And the White House produces it.
And I guarantee you this, the White House thought that this would be a profound embarrassment and an unrecoverable boondoggle for Trump.
This thing today, the release of the birth certificate, was designed to be an unrecoverable flap for Trump.
And for your average, particularly Republican politician, it would have been.
Any other Republican politician who had played this birth certificate thing the way Trump's been playing it, the release of the long form today would have ended them.
With Trump, he turns it into a resume builder and a resume enhancement.
It's just, it's an illustration of the why can I say this?
You might want to say it's an add-on.
You might want to say it's an albatross.
But this is the showmanship characteristic that Trump brings that's able to triumph over this and turn it into something.
Now, it still may backfire big time on it.
The press is going to do everything they can, of course, to make this backfire.
But still, it's fascinating theater to watch this.
I won't get to the audio soundbites of it here in just a minute.
Now, the smoking gun, there's already now the smoking gun.
I mean, this is not a crackpot bunch.
I mean, these are people that post legal documents, analyze them.
You know, Lindsay Lohan's latest arrest.
If you want to see the record of it, you'll see the affidavit.
Go to smoking gun.
Smoking Gun has an analysis of how the birth certificate they released might be a fake.
You want to hear what they say?
Oh, yeah, you do.
This morning's White House release of Obama's long-form birth certificate will, of course, do little to derail the birther movement, which will now analyze the document with the kind of verve previously directed toward those Texas Air National Guard memos, facts to CBS from that Kinkos and Abilene.
So here are a few nutty points, nutty points about the birth certificate, sure to be seized upon by the non-believers.
Here they are.
If the original document was in a bound volume, as reflected by the curvature of the left-hand side of the certificate, how can the green patterned background of the document's safety paper be so seamless?
Why, if Obama was born on August 4th, 1961, was the date accepted by local registrar four days later on August 8, 1961?
What is the significance of the smudges in the box containing the name of the reported attendant?
In the this birth box, there are two mysterious X's above the twin and triplet.
Is there a sibling or two unaccounted for?
What is the significance of the mysterious numbers seen vertically on the document's right side?
And finally, the signature of a local registrar in box 21 may be a desperate attempt at establishing the document's Hawaiian authenticity.
Note to forgers, it is spelled ukulele.
So the people at the smoking gun are feeding the birthers with.
Oh, look, I got a bunch of emails from people who are warning me not to be fooled by the White House.
Here, let me read you one: absolute proof the birth certificate is a fake.
The birth certificate is a fraud, and you can see for yourself in 30 seconds.
But hurry before they get wise.
Download the PDF from the White House website.
Open the PDF in Illustrator, not Photoshop.
Click in the center of the image, right-click on the center of the image, and click Release Clipping Mask.
Now look at the layers.
You'll see the layers have been grouped, but not flattened.
That's a sloppy forgery.
The background and the part on the left edge that make it appear to come out of a bound book is one layer.
Some of the stamps are on the other layers.
It's an absolute proof it's a fake.
So you also, you know, you have to concede here.
The White House knows this is going to happen too.
The White House knows that this is going to stoke even more investigation of this, and they're probably relishing that.
They're probably sitting back in the White House laughing about this now.
I mean, I've some people saying, wait, my birth certificate is black with white text, you know, photographic negative.
How come this is green?
That makes me suspicious, Rush.
I think you should look into it.
It's fun.
I make no apology or excuse for enjoying the show this morning that this was.
And while we're going to have our fun with it, we are not going to be distracted.
Because as I have warned, you know, I ought to replay Soundbite 2 when we come back from the break, I will, because back on April 7th, I warned people this is a dead end.
Dead end streets start driving down or walking.
I'll replay that.
And let you hear the Trump sound bites if you haven't heard those yet.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up.
Some in the audience, ladies and gentlemen, are not happy with me, your host.
This from a subscriber at RushLimbBog.com.
You've gone Gatsby, Rush.
Very sad.
You hawked the Donald like you're afraid the golf invitations will end.
He's a Democrat.
He just proved it by ensuring Obama's reelection.
He's a Democrat at best and a spoiler at worst.
This wrecks our primaries all over again.
Wake up.
Signed, Julie.
Somebody, can we search the TransScribe archive?
Have I endorsed Trump?
No, I have not endorsed, I've not endorsed anybody.
We are simply commenting here on what happens on a day-to-day basis.
We'll see what happens here, but folks, don't fret.
Whatever's going on now, it's like polling data now.
It's meaningless.
What happens now, pretty meaningless in terms of the 2012 election other than its impact on Obama.
He's the one known candidate right now.
Anyway, let's go to the audio soundbites.
Here is Trump with his helicopter in the background, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
After he got just what he loves, the eyes of the world on him.
And he wasn't going to disappoint anybody.
Today, I'm very proud of myself because I've accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish.
I was just informed while on the helicopter that our president has finally released a birth certificate.
He should have done it a long time ago.
Why he didn't do it when the Clintons asked for it, why he didn't do it when everybody else was asking for it.
I don't know.
But I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue.
You see, it's not over yet.
Hopefully, hopefully getting rid of the issue.
I'm very honored.
I did it.
Nobody else was able to do it.
Also, he's right about something here.
The Clintons did start this.
It was a Democrat operative plan.
The original birthers were Democrats.
The original birthers were Clintons in the Democrat primaries back in 2007 and 2008.
So the assembled media in the airplane hangar there at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was apoplectic that Trump was taking credit.
They expected Trump to be embarrassed and slink away, maybe not even show up, to do a series of apologies.
So here is an exchange, an unidentified reporter and Trump.
You say you're taking credit for it.
A lot of people say what you caused was a distraction.
No, I'm taking great credit.
And you have to ask the president, why didn't he do this a long time ago?
Why didn't he do it a long time ago?
When Hillary Clinton was asking, when everybody was asking, why didn't he do it?
It's shocking.
It's shocking.
I'm asking the other presidents, why is that relevant?
It's very relevant.
Have you ever asked me?
Why isn't that people asked me for my birth certificate?
People asked me for my birth certificate, and I gave it two days later.
So the reporter says, well, look, if it's not true, for example, does it mean the country's led by an illegal president?
The reason I hope it's true, because we have very big problems in this country.
This country is suffering right now.
I mean, I have people, they can't get gasoline in their tank.
They're topping out their tank because they can't afford to do it properly.
They've never had this before.
OPEC is setting the price of fuel.
We have oil all over the place.
All over the place.
Every ship at sea is loaded up with oil.
They don't know where to dump it.
And yet every day, we're setting records.
And pretty soon we're going to be at that $150 a barrel, the all-time record.
Now, when the president says he has no power over that, I mean, it's pretty sad.
Yeah, and remember the jawboning that Bush got.
Remember John Kerry said, I don't be over there making deals.
If I were president, you can count on me.
I'd be over there.
I'd be telling those sheiks what for.
John Kerry said in 2004, presidential campaign.
Then they moved on to Trump demanding Obama's school records.
Another reporter said, you've raised the questions about his education credentials.
Are you prepared to say today that all these issues should be put to the side, that you accept Obama is who he says he is, or do you still think there are legitimate questions?
Everything's legitimate.
Look, the press is very protective of President Obama.
Very protective.
They're not protective of me, but they're protective of President Obama.
And they're not protective of most other people either, in all fairness.
The word is, according to what I've read, that he was a terrible student when he went to Occidental.
He then gets to Columbia.
He then gets to Harvard.
I heard at Columbia wasn't a very good student.
He then gets to Harvard.
How do you get into Harvard if you're not a good student?
Now, maybe that's right or maybe it's wrong.
But I don't know why he doesn't release his records.
I'd like to know, how does he get into Harvard?
How does he get into Columbia if he isn't a good student?
It's an interesting thing.
Yeah, so, okay, this is where I think it's time for Jillian.
What's her name?
The big loser, babe.
What's her name?
Jillian Anderson?
Jillian Michaels.
This is her turn.
Jillian Michaels.
The next reality show to move in and start demanding Obama's transcripts from all of his university days.
Trump says the experts should examine the birth certificate.
So, just in finishing, I'm really honored and I'm really proud that I was able to do something that nobody else could do.
I'm really happy about it.
And now experts will check in and everybody will go over it.
And I hope everything's going to be perfect.
And by the way, if you remember, from day one, I said, I hope he gives his certificate because I don't want this issue clouding a campaign.
Let's go to the phones.
We're going to start in Omaha.
This is Shonda.
Shonda, hi, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Wow, what an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
I was able to catch some of the statements from Obama and listen to Trump as well.
I really think the joke's on us, though, Rush.
I really think what Obama did today was feed Trump's ginormous ego, and it was a baiting tactic to ensure that he runs.
Democrats would love nothing more than to see Obama re-elected, and that would be ensured if Trump wins the primary.
So you think the White House released the birth certificate to bait Trump to keep him in, to give him a little victory here so that he keeps going because they think Trump will be their ultimate ticket to victory.
Absolutely.
Why?
What makes you so sure Trump's even going to run?
That's just it.
They're ensuring that he does throw his hat in the rain.
How does this ensure that he throws his hat in the ring?
Because all it did was feed his ginormous ego and give him a false sense of power that he does have the ability to get answers.
Okay, let me run an alternative theory by you.
Keep in mind, there's a lot of panic out there.
I've do not, I haven't, this is ridiculous.
I have not endorsed anybody.
Right now, we're just having a grand old time watching this show go by.
But let me prove my alternative theory.
Why did they release the birth certificate today?
I am convinced that it's a little different from your theory.
I think that this polling data on this birth issue was starting to hurt Obama.
This USA Today poll, 38% definitely believes he wasn't born in this country, and the number was climbing.
A lot of Democrats.
I think he played the issue out as long as he could.
The answer to the question, why now?
Why not release the birth certificate earlier?
Because it was an advantage for him.
The polling data was showing he was winning it because the birther crowd was considered to be a bunch of fringe kooks.
All of a sudden, the polling data suggests it may be a fringe cook issue, but a lot of other mainstream voters are now picking up on it.
And so now it was time to get it out of the way because it was really starting to become a problem.
It was really starting to hurt as opposed to being a positive.
What about that theory?
Which, of course, the only thing that has to do with Trump is that he's been the primary provocateur on it.
Yes, and I understand what you're saying, but as Trump said at his press conference, what did he give credit to?
The polls?
No.
He gave it to himself.
And the administration knew exactly what would happen, that he would take credit for it.
It's feeding his ego and just anything to make it.
Is that what really bothers you about Trump?
Let me be honest with you about something.
I've been hosting this program for 23 years.
And even to this day, and you may have a tough time believing this, Chandra, because you've been a longtime regular listener, but even to this day, there are people who don't like me very much because of my utter confidence.
People consider me to be a braggart.
And it rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
And they do not understand when I do it.
That a lot of times it's tongue-in-cheek, that it's a little bit of shtick.
It still rubs them the wrong way.
And in many ways, in most cases, it's women who really don't like that.
So is it possible that what's rubbing you wrong about Trump is precisely that he goes out and takes credit for all of this?
That's the proudest day of my life.
Look what I alone was able to accomplish.
Is that what really bothers you?
No, I actually really like Trump.
I've never watched his show.
I do like some of his ideas.
I don't know how he's going to be able to execute those, but no, I have no problem with him taking credit for it.
I knew that he would.
He is pompous, but that's okay.
But I think it's going to take the Republicans in the wrong direction if he continues this and does, in fact, throw his hat in the ring.
And I think all that happened today is to ensure that that happens.
How's it waiting?
Now, that's interesting.
It's going to take the Republicans in the wrong direction.
A, what is the wrong direction?
And B, how would he do that?
It seems to me that if Trump is the wrong direction, the only way he could take Republicans in the wrong direction is to persuade Americans to abandon the other Republicans in the race.
Do you think that that's you think Trump is an automatic lock to win the nomination if he runs?
Is that what worries you?
No.
No, I'm not saying let's jump the gun and say that he wins the primaries, but I'm saying if that were to ever happen, that would be Obama's dream come true along with the rest of the liberals.
Really?
You think, okay, that's fascinating.
I can give you a list of names from the Republican candidates that I think Obama would love to run against, and many of them would be in front of Trump.
Okay.
Such hands.
Well, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings here by, you know, but look, Haley Barber pulled out.
And one of the mainstream media is saying Haley Barber pulling out is proof that mainstream Republicans can't win anymore, that only fringe Kook Conservatives.
Haley Barber is not willing to adopt the Tea Party line.
The Tea Party is the death of the Republican Party, and Haley Barber realizes he can't get their votes because he's not going to pay their terms, so he's going to pull out.
So, okay, let's do the name.
Do you think Obama would be afraid of running against this pick one, Romney?
I think he would be a stronger contender than Trump.
Huckabee.
No, I don't believe he has the means to go up against a billion-dollar campaign of Obama.
Mitch Daniels?
I don't think so.
Ron Paul.
No.
No, what?
Ron Paul would not win.
He's just like an angry grandmother.
That's okay, my point.
You think if Obama's out there trying to set up the easiest fall guy.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, I think he would actually have it.
Yes, Ron Paul would be a better candidate for Obama to win.
Okay, okay, that's all I know.
Okay, fine.
I'd love to continue, Shonda.
I'm glad you called, but I've got a time problem here, and I have broadcast engineers screeching at me and practically flipping the bird to end the segment, so I've got to do that.
What is this?
Ben Bernanke just had his press conference and says here the Federal Reserve signaled the end of its controversial, well, QE2, the end of the $600 billion bond buying program as planned.
The journal says setting the stage for challenging decisions about whether to raise interest rates in the face of both high unemployment and looming threats of inflation.
Looming threats of inflation.
What the hell is $5 a gallon gasoline or Florida and food, both of which have been caused by QE2?
They're going to talk about food shortages in the Middle East.
Who caused those?
What's causing food prices around the world to go up?
It's us.
Anyway, this QE2, this $600 bond buying, that's what's kept the stock market up.
That's going to be a fascinating thing to watch here to see if the stock market maintains itself now that the bond buying is over, if it really is.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Quickly, Jennifer in Westfield, New Jersey.
Great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Yeah, hi, Rush.
Listen, it's a big win for Donald Trump.
He's the only one finally vetting Obama.
And Obama, they're terrified of Donald Trump.
He's got his own money.
He can make decisions.
And you know what?
He's fearless.
And I am sick and tired of our defeatist Republicans like Bill Crystal, Krauthammer, Carl Roeben, Rich Lowry saying, oh, we can only hope to get to the Senate and not put up someone for the rest of the country.
You know, that troubles me, too.
There is a defeatism out there in parts of our party that think the White House is not winnable.
I just, I, you know, Jennifer, I have to agree with you about that.
Setting our sights on the Senate only, what the hell?
This guy is imminently beatable.
I don't care.
We're not even talking about Trump right now.
This is about Obama.
And the 2012 election is going to be about Obama.
And frankly, folks, when you get down to brass tax, getting rid of Obama, throwing him out of the out of the Oval Office, ending this regime has got to be priority number one.
It must be.
And he is imminently beatable.
Now, I don't know about all this talk.
Trump, Obama's not afraid of Republicans, but he is afraid of Trump.
I don't know about all that yet.
But I do know that Trump's the only guy taking it to him.
Trump is the only guy taking it to him.
It could be.
I know a lot of people think Trump's a Democrat plant.
I know Trump's largely donated to Democrats.
We asked him about that on this program.
Some of you have forgotten.
We asked him about it.
You heard his answer.
You're free not to like it.
I will ask him again.
But the fact is he is taking it to Obama, and there's nobody on our side who is.
Not in terms of elected political people.
Nobody else is.
I don't know who Obama's afraid of.
I think his ego is so big.
I think he's afraid of anybody.
People on his staff may have their qualms about some people, but I don't think he's afraid of anybody.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
You know, you can tell people what they're sick of.
And so let me tell you what I'm sick of.
I am sick of the conventional wisdom that Obama can't be beat.
And I am sick of people on our side apparently holding and then promulgating that view that Obama can't be beat.
That is absurd, folks.
