Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
And greetings.
Greetings to you, music lovers and thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Great to have you here.
Another day of broadcast excellence is all yours.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I asked because it's got everything in there I was just told not to say.
All right, so at any rate, folks, how are you?
We are still trying to get things organized here as the uh Excellence and Broadcasting Network kicks off another round of broadcast excellence.
There's a story out there today, and it's it's uh you know, it's an illustration of how of how things happen, how things are said and reported that it this is preposterous.
And I have personal knowledge of this.
Now, this story appears in the New York Daily News.
And the headline is Margaret Thatcher will not meet with Sarah Palin during her trip to London in route to the Sudan colon report.
And this is actually uh, let's see, uh Margaret Thatcher, the former UK Prime Minister and heroine of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has no interest in meeting the nuts, quote unquote nuts, potential presidential candidate, Thatcher AIDS, tell British media.
Palin recently revealed that she'll make a stop in London en route to Sudan this summer.
I'm just hoping Mrs. Thatcher's well enough to see me as I so admire her, said uh Palin, talking to the Sunday Times in the UK.
But the feeling isn't mutual.
Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin.
That would be belittling for Margaret.
Sarah Palin is nuts.
A source told the Guardian.
An aide told the independent, the UK independent, that uh that Thatcher rarely makes public appearances due to her declining health.
Nowadays, Lady Thatcher rarely meets people at all.
If a meeting went ahead, it would be very much low-key and very much depend on how things were on that day.
We don't make firm appointments for this sort of uh meeting.
Now uh I happen, let me the personal disclosure, I happen to know Margaret Thatcher.
I happen to know her pretty well.
I haven't talked to her in years.
But I have uh I've known her for years.
And I got to know her very well through some mutual friends of mine here in uh in in Palm Beach, Florida, Stanley and Gay Gaines who are very close friends of hers.
I have driven Lady Thatcher around golf courses.
We were out in Vale, Colorado at Ego Springs.
It's actually Eagle Springs, but we call it Ego Springs, California.
Or Colorado.
And uh the Gaines had a home out there once we go out in the summertime now and then play golf, and and Lady Thatcher and her husband Sir Dennis were guests a number of times.
I mean, for a week, long weekends.
And I remember Lady Thatcher wanted to see the golf course.
So we grabbed a golf cart.
She's wearing, she was always dressed to the nines each and every day, is wearing a dress.
We got in the golf cart, and I drove all 18 holes on the cart path.
Never went in the course, but just showed her every hole.
And we'd drive up, and we would, of course, because of um um uh etiquette, we would stop.
Uh if there were players on tea boxes getting ready to tee off, or if they were in the fairway near where we were, we would stop so as not to distract.
And you should have seen looks.
I mean, double takes all over the place.
Here's Margaret Thatcher on a golf cart at Ego Springs Golf Club, being driven around by me, L. Rushbaugh, and people are doing double takes because she's instantly recognizable.
I have I have been with her in uh in social and and professional uh at social professional settings as well.
There's the believe me, folks, um I I there's a it's obvious that that her health is not today what it was, but back in in the day, this Margaret Thatcher would in no way allow an egg to refer to anybody, Sarah Palin not with stay as nuts.
She talked to anybody and everybody that came into her orb.
I mean, she literally had to talk to some people that were nuts.
I saw it.
And she was as gracious as she could be.
It was an education being around Lady Thatcher.
It was, you know, one of the experiences of my life that I'll I'll never forget.
And I'm just, I can I can tell you that you have here an aid saying, hey, no way, Lady Thatcher's gonna meet with that nut so Sarah Palin.
I guarantee you.
Lady Thatcher probably is not aware that the aide is even saying this.
But that is not the way she speaks.
Now, I don't know what she would think of.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm not saying she'd be a Palin supporter.
I don't want to go there.
But I mean, Bill Clinton met with uh with Reagan, met with Clinton after he was uh inaugurated and gave him some jelly beans.
This is absurd uh for for this to be the case, but this is classic illustration of what is happening in the press, not just here, but around the world with uh with Sarah Palin.
Now, I mentioned at the close of the program yesterday, I wanted to develop something a little further today that uh didn't have time to get into in great detail yesterday, and it's about Palin.
As you know, I have no brief for Palin.
I've not chosen anybody, I've not anointed anybody, I've not endorsed anybody, and I'm not prepared to today, that's not the point of this.
But I can't let this go by, all of these things that are happening, is continued effort to literally destroy.
I mean, I understand the Democrats wanting to do it.
But there are people on our side engaging in this, it's unseemly.
Now, for all of the stated Republican opposition to Sarah Palin, if she gets in the race, and you heard it here for, and don't doubt me, she is going to end up being the one to beat.
Now, I'm not gonna mention any names here because it's not the point, but I have spoken to a number of uh people in the Republican presidential field.
We got Rick Santorum coming on this afternoon.
What is it?
Uh 1.30.
Two o'clock, we got Santorus.
The top of the third hour, I got Santorum today.
Gonna be interviewing David Mammoth uh uh after the program tomorrow for the limbaugter.
The um, this guy's written a big book.
He's uh the lib uh playwright who's undergone this massive conversion to conservatism and away from liberalism, and the things he's saying about liberalism are just right on the money.
He's abandoning it, so we'll talk to him about that tomorrow.
But I've talked to a lot of these people, and I make it a point to bring up Palin.
Because I want to see how they react.
Uh because I know how I react when people bring up so-called competitors to me.
Well, Snerdley, that's my point.
Um, you know, sitting where I it doesn't, I it doesn't benefit me at all to comment on anybody else who does what I do.
There's no win in it, so I don't.
But these guys, you know, I've I've I've thrown Palin's name out, and the reaction that I get from virtually all of them is cautious respect.
They will not.
None of them have trashed her to me.
None of them have uh done anything other than demonstrate or express respect for her.
I've not heard one of the, and I'm not talking to all of them, of course, but I've not heard one of them just lamb based her, like you see other Republicans doing.
If she does decide to get in the race, and I have no idea about that, she will be the one to beat.
Now, there's a reason McCain picked her.
He picked her ostensibly against the wishes of the party at large.
He picked her because he needed somebody fresh and energetic to restart his floundering campaign.
And it worked.
And anybody who's willing to be honest will tell you that the crowds that were drawn during the campaign, uh, McCain campaign stops were due to Sarah Palin.
And the energy that she brought to that campaign was unmistakable.
And the attachment that Republican voters had to her was also unmistakable.
Now, we've gone through all the reasons Republicans don't want her in the race, the insiders versus the outsiders, the beltway elites and uh and all that, the consultants.
GOP operatives.
They don't want her in the race, not because they fear she will lose.
The standard line is.
And you heard it from our caller Vinny, Queens.
It's automatic.
I love Palin.
I love you, but she's gonna lose.
The media's destroyed.
You got no chance.
I'm sick and tired of backing people are gonna lose, Russia.
I'm sorry it's happened.
Right, okay, so we just chalk it up.
Media has another victory.
Is that it?
We sit here, we let the media destroy one of our candidates, and we move on to somebody media hasn't destroyed.
Somehow that just doesn't sit well with me.
Why do we just sit here and I mean, on the one hand, I have people constantly complaining about the media destroying our guys, and nobody ever defends our guys, and here they go out and destroy Payne.
Well, she's destroyed Russia.
It's uh impossible.
I I really I just I don't I don't think that uh she could win, and I really am tired of nominating losers and so on.
I hate to say it, Russia Media's just totally destroyed her.
Oh, fine.
This is that cut and dried.
You're happy with that?
No.
They don't want her in the race because they fear, not because they fear that she can't beat Obama.
They don't want her in the race because they are afraid she can beat others in the Republican field for the nomination, leaving them on the outside looking in.
Look at it this way.
With as much piling on of Sarah Palin as there has been on our side, if she gets in and if she wins, look at all of the people on our side who are by virtue of the way they've treated her up till now out of it.
They will have no role.
People are already, you know, when when she went to Massachusetts bus tour, New Hampshire on the bus tour, and happened on the very day the Mister announced himself, he's she's up there taking and stealing his thunder.
And at the same time she's making her appearance while he's making his, she is denouncing and disagreeing with some of his policies.
A lot of people say, well, that's really stupid.
This is another example of Palin being an idiot.
Why, she not even consulting with the Republican hierarchy on this bus tour, she ought to be coordinating schedule so she doesn't step on some of these other people.
Well, wait a minute now.
See, that that argument stems from the narrative that she's an idiot and doesn't know what she's doing.
What if she's settling a score with somebody?
What if Romney's got somebody on his team that has been very scornful of her?
Who knows?
I don't know, but I do know she's not stupid.
And I do know that she is highly competitive, and I do know that she's willing to go to the throat, and I do know that she keeps score.
Because everybody in politics does, and she's certainly in politics.
So all of this.
Russia can't win.
I mean, 41% of Republican voters is voting.
I have never in my life.
Put it to you this way.
I have never in my life seen the Democrat Party and its media operatives spend so much time destroying somebody who didn't have a prayer anyway.
This woman is so stupid.
She's got the entire press corps chasing her bus all up and down the East Coast.
NPR yesterday grabbed their own historian about this Paul Revere mess.
And it was clear that NPR, I'm sure thought their historian was gonna just make it very apparent that Sarah Palin is an idiot that knows what she was doing.
This expert did an Ollie North on the Iran Contra Committee.
Ended up telling the host that at NPR, yeah, she's she was extremely right about everything she said.
And the NPR, babe, you can see when you read it, she was just obviously a little deflated and depressed here.
But these Republican operatives don't want her in the race, not because they fear she can't beat Obama, but because they fear she can beat their favored candidates and Obama, which would leave them on the outside looking in.
That's and I just, again, for whatever it's worth.
The Margaret Thatcher that I knew would in no way, even if she fought it, in no way would she say it or allow an aide of hers to say it, describe Sarah Palin or anybody else in the American political system, a former governor, a former vice president as nuts.
She doesn't even talk about her opponents that way.
She never did.
So even across the pond, people working for Margaret Thatcher or speaking for her, have got to get in their digs at uh at Sarah Palin.
And I, again, I'm not don't know that Margaret Thatcher would support her or not.
This is not the point here.
Um the fact that she won't meet with Palin, she's not meeting with anybody.
Frankly, folks, she's not capable.
And it's very sad, you'll know the truth, but she's not capable of meeting with a whole lot of people.
People she meets with are um very close, and that's it.
Just the ways of life.
Well, she's not making an active decision, and I mean Sarah Palin because she's nuts.
And I wouldn't even rule out the meeting anyway.
Palin is going to go to London, she's gonna be there.
I don't know when she's gonna go on her way to the Sudan.
I don't know what she's doing there for.
I have no clue.
Palin's not my candidate, don't misunderstand any of this.
But I just I read this stuff and I have to comment on it because it's absolute BS.
Uh it is lies, it's distortion.
I have been uh you know, we've all been personally impacted, affected by this kind of crap, and it never ends unless somebody tries to put a stop to it.
All right.
Now, brief time out here, my friends, as we're off to a rockin' and rolling start, Rushlin bought a big voice on the right back right after this.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I just got this.
I haven't had a chance to read it, but the headline's intriguing.
It's uh Thomas Friedman in the New York Times today.
The earth is full.
Uh I can only imagine this has to do with population, climate, and so I'll have a chance.
I'll try to get to this uh during a commercial break.
Have you seen this?
CEO of General Motors is pushing for higher gasoline taxes.
General Motors CEO Dan Akerson wants the federal gasoline tax boosted as much as one dollar a gallon to nudge consumers toward more fuel efficient cars because they won't buy them on their own.
This is like the CEO for Kellogg's asking for a tax on milk.
It's like whoever makes jiff peanut butter asking for a tax on jelly.
Folks, this is insane.
This is what happens when you remake the American economy using crony capitalism as the new foundation for the private sector.
This is not capitalism, this is crony capitalism.
You've got GM, no fault of their own, taken over by Obama.
Obama's got this dream of people driving around these little whirly bird propeller cars, aren't going to take anybody anywhere.
And nobody wants them.
And I'm looking, I don't like everybody else in this country, love General Motors.
Pains me to say this stuff.
The number of vaults that have been sold is in a two to three hundred range.
And so now the CEO wants higher fuel taxes to force people.
About making cars people want.
I whatever happened to that.
But see, this would have a crony capitalism.
So it's it's like Kellogg's asking for an increased tax on milk.
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
You have crony capitalism capitalism is the new foundation for the private sector.
You get a car manufacturer calling for an increase in the gas tax.
It goes against the best interest of the company, the best interests of its employees and customers.
But it's making good on a deal with the devil that you had to make.
I wonder if the CEO of General Motors, Mr. Akerson, can he speak when Obama's drinking a glass of water?
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
It'll rush bow behind the golden EIB microphone.
Telephone number.
We will get to your phone calls at some point in a busy program today.
800 282882.
Boy, I checked the email during the break and a vitriol.
Stop talking about Sarah Palin.
I hate Palin.
I hate hearing you talk about Palin.
I'm a woman.
I hate Palin.
Do you understand?
I'm turning your show off if I have to keep hearing you talk about pay on and on and on.
These are subscribers to my website.
Yeah, just now.
Just now.
I think half of them know, you know, that they might get mentioned.
You know, because I reference now people sending me these emails, and I reference talks of some of them I think sure juice up their subject lines, hoping I'll notice just so they can say, hey, hey, I got limb on today.
Mention my email.
But one of them, one of the uh subscribers, a guy named Ernie Vogel, sends me something interesting.
It's a political story from June 14th of last year.
Sarah Palin visiting Margaret Thatcher, Politico.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin planning a trip to London and a visit with Margaret Thatcher, her staff has confirmed.
She has received, this is this is a Palin wrote in her Facebook page.
I have received invitation for a visit to London, and part of the invitation included the offer to meet with Margaret Thatcher.
So last summer.
Now the person in this story at the Guardian, UK Guardian, is just referred to as an ally of Thatcher's, who said, no, she's not going to meet with Palin.
It's nuts.
And of course, an ally could be anyone.
Could be anyone making it up or what have you.
So it's just last summer, Politico has a story that Thatcher was inviting her.
Now Margaret Thatcher has been suffering, let's just put it out there.
Margaret Thatcher has been suffering from dementia by her own family has admitted this public for a number of recent years.
What is so funny in there?
You know, this show today, I'm distracted 15,000 different ways, and it's not held by you people in there going nuts yourself.
What is so damn funny in there?
Who's mad at me?
You mean he called you back?
Why is he mad at me?
Oh, it's he was oh, I mischaracterized him.
Yeah.
Well, I get I get my share of pro-palin.
Don't misunderstand.
I and a lot of, but I mean, it's the I get I get I look one of the things I know is the Libs hate me so much that many of them have paid to become subscribers of my website just to have access to this uh subscriber email.
And that's who's sending this stuff.
I know that, but it's still it's it's still funny.
How about this headline?
Pelosi wants a wiener probe.
Don't know where.
Uh this is uh a website, the right perspective with the headline.
You gotta give them credit.
Pelosi wants a wiener probe.
House Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics committee investigation of Tony Weiner to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred when he admitted to lewd online relationships with younger women.
Okay.
Now she would quick on the draw here, folks.
Pelosi was, I mean, lickety split in there.
It didn't take Pelosi a day before she uh joined this refrain demanding an ethics investigation.
And uh just dispatch him to the ethics committee faster than Chuck Schumer runs to a TV camera.
Now the question is when it comes to Pelosi, is this defense or is it offense?
You think it's total defense?
You think it's total defense.
Okay, HR thinks it's total defense.
If Pelosi to Democrats scared to death, oh my God, this guy's poison, get him out of here.
Get him to the ethics com.
Yeah.
They got you they yeah, they get they got by massa, but they don't Eric Massett.
They skip, but they they don't want to be horn swoggled by this guy.
Okay.
Alternative theory, just to throw it out there.
Pelosi knows that the House is now in Republican hands.
Therefore, the Ethics Committee at the end of the day has a Republican majority.
Now it's always it's it's uh numbers I think on the committee are equal, but because the Republicans run the House, there is a balance of power that shifts to the Republicans of the Ethics Committee.
And the Liberals are throwing Wiener under the bus and they're asking him to resign and a number of things.
Or could it be?
I just throw this out there as a possibility.
I know it's going to sound lame to some of you, and it's going to sound like a stretch.
sure But maybe Pelosi and the Democrats are hoping they send Wiener up there to the ethics committee and the Republicans go bonkers with it.
Uh and start overreaching and turn Wiener into a victim of these rascally Republicans.
And is a way of creating sympathy for the poor guy because these mean spirited Republicans won't let him.
Now, I don't think this theory has any any any credence because I don't think the Republicans have it in them to act that way.
I don't I don't I don't think that they would overreach.
But I do know that when it comes to the Democrats, uh everything is not what it appears to be on the surface.
So I'm not I'm not totally convinced that simply demanding that the ethics committee take care of Wiener is in fact Pelosi the Democrats wanting to wash their hands of of Wiener.
I don't know if it's possible.
Maybe what the Republicans on the Ethics Committee could do would be to offer to stand down and let the Democrats on the Ethics Committee totally handle this.
In the interests of uh of fairness, right?
Let me grab let me grab oh, you don't want to take Vinny.
You don't want to take Vin.
All right, Peter in Branson, Missouri.
Let's go ahead and uh start on the phones here.
Peter Hi, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.
Um I just want to warn you, I'm a liberal Democrat, I'm a poly-ci professor, but um, I wanted to comment on uh your palin' um uh uh show is uh we um honestly, I'm just being honest with you, Russ, we fear Palin as a Republican candidate because she can beat President Obama.
I'm just gonna flat out tell you, she is providing something that the other candidates aren't providing, and uh wronging and other people who are trying to destroy Pealin.
Us liberals, we're loving it because they're taking out their star quarterback, you know, before their the game's even started.
And so we're kind of quiet about the whole thing, and it's it's like you said, it's the Republicans that are taking on Palin right now.
And we're just sitting back on the sidelines, and we just can't believe that this is going on.
Let me ask you a question.
You're in Branson, Missouri.
You're a you're you you're liberal political science professor.
Yes, sir.
Now, why are you calling me to tell me this?
I tell you, I because there's this uh myth to say I teach, you know, I have to stay balanced no matter what I do when I teach.
And uh why?
You're a liberal.
what does that matter?
Well, because it's it's good for our students to make up their own mind.
You know.
And now come on, this is you're not a liberal.
That's that's you're you can't risk your students making up their own minds.
Well, you know, I still have my own beliefs, but you know, and they're different from yours, but the main thing that I've seen that almost the first part I've ever seen this in history of politics is that I've never seen this type of attacking by a party against their own star player.
And it it's kind of amazing to see this whole thing, you know, develop, and I have pl tons of material to to teach about, uh, just because this is happening right now.
And uh I that's all I say, it's not the liberal media that's going after Palin.
I mean w everyone has a sh uh blame, but it's really the right wing media that's after that.
Everyone's going after uh Palin.
It's not really us.
Well, no, you guys are doing your share.
I mean, the uh uh the Democrats have done their shit with Katie Kurick, uh the Charlie Gibson, you know, it's it's equal opportunity here on both on both sides.
Well, you're right about the Republicans.
The Republican side has done their best.
But you s you you say and you are the first and probably the only who will ever say it on your side of the aisle that Palin can beat Obama and that that's what your side really feels.
See, my instincts tell me that the Democrats, the liberals, the left will always tell us who they fear the most by who they spend the most time trying to destroy.
And that's Palin.
It's the same thing about the Republicans too.
For some reason they feel if if she's this idiotic and this stupid and she doesn't have a prayer, why?
Why do all of this to try to impugn and destroyer?
Because it doesn't make sense.
That when they even mention her name and they always follow it with a l a laugh, but it's a nervous laugh.
You know, oh Palin's coming here, and then they start laughing a little bit, and I won't name the programs, but it's you I'm just like, God, quit mentioning her name.
I mean, uh quit underestimating this person.
I mean, that's how we feel in the academic community that this person is just on a whole other different level than Romney and even President Obama.
Well, why do you think she could why why do you think she could beat Obama?
I I I will just be really honest with you, even at the liberal direct is leadership.
That's it.
It's not necessarily qualifications or things of that nature, but America right now is searching for a certain leadership, and she has that one trait.
And she can pretty much get people from different communities, different backgrounds, different economics, and it's just she provides a certain leadership.
I've never heard this from anybody.
The the story on Palin is the book on Palin is that she's divisive, that uh she polarizing, she doesn't unify anybody.
Here you are a liberal political science professor saying she's the only one that exhibits true leadership characteristics and has the ability to bring people together.
I mean that's that's what they told us about the BAMSE.
I mean, her her worst enemy is, and I've written about this before, but her her worst enemy is uh is Romney.
And so i as long as that fight's going on, we don't really have much to fear.
But um if she becomes serious, that's when we start uh you how do we don't even know how to compete against her, you know, because she's so she's not really orthodox in her method, so it's it's very different.
You know what I would tell you guys uh here's I would say you don't know how to compete against her.
And I'm I'm uh I also need to prepare you for something else, Peter.
That is that a vast swath of my audience.
And I don't take this personally, don't be don't get your feelings hurt by it, but I guarantee you a vast swath of my audience doesn't believe you.
That you are a liberal political science.
A, you sound too nice.
B, you don't sound arrogant enough.
You you do not sound cocky or or um uh condescending enough to be you just don't.
That's I'm I'm just telling you you're gonna have a lot of people.
Well we get we get labeled a lot because you know, or because we s we look at everything, all the circumstances.
We look at American history and politics.
No, you don't.
That's the thing.
Liberals do not.
They don't I mean, l never will a fact get in the way of an agenda.
Never will the truth get in the way of the uh of the end result, the end you no, no, no, that's that's it'd be surprise rush.
Uh professors always make sure that both sides are argued in their classrooms, and we keep our own personal government.
Look, it you are professoring in Branson.
You're not at Harvard.
You're not a you're not a yeah.
I'm actually professoring in Springfield, uh 40 miles north of Branson.
All right.
Well, here's here's the bottom line.
Um when you talk about say Paley, if I were you guys, I were you guys, and I'm thinking about Palin, and you were talking about your guys your side doesn't know what to do, wouldn't know how to destroy her.
You got something there, because everybody has thrown everything that they've got at her.
The proverbial kitchen sink.
Everybody.
They have gone after her kids.
They've gone after her family, they've gone after her husband, they have gone after her.
They've got I mean, I've never seen anything like it short of Ronaldus Magnus and Nixon.
Never seen anything like it.
They've thrown everything, and yet she puts the family in a bus, and the same people get into a race to follow her wherever she's going, all the while proclaiming how stupid she is.
Uh I I would be concerned if I were you guys.
What are we going to do to destroy this woman?
Because everything they've tried, and she's still there, and she's still drawing crowds, and she's still making a lot of money, and she still has a lot of she has not all this effort to destroy her.
I don't know what her political plans are, but as a human being enjoying life, uh able to earn money, you haven't dented her.
Not at all.
Exact opposite.
I appreciate the call out there, Peter.
Brief time out.
We'll be back.
We'll continue after this.
Don't go away.
All right, he's back.
Vinny and Queens.
Time to reprise.
Phone call where he claims now that he's misunderstood.
Welcome back, Vinny.
How are you, sir?
Good to be back, Rush.
You bet.
Listen, what I was trying to say that day, um, was simply this.
Um, I've always felt, you know, we we have 40% conservative, 40% liberal in this country, and we're always fighting for that 20%.
You said that often enough, and I've always agreed with you.
Oh, whoa, no, no, well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't believe that, and I have made a point of saying it I resided that's that's an argument the Republican consultants have put forth because they claim in selling their services to candidates that they're the experts in getting the 20% to go for their candidate.
Well, I'm not saying wait a minute, I'm not saying that.
I'm saying there is a a large swath out there that isn't what I would classify as conservative.
Now I'm conservative.
I love Sarah Palin.
I told you I voted for Sarah Palin, not John McCain, like most of us did.
What I was simply trying to say is another phenomena that's part of the Obama presidency is all the new interest that he's created in politics.
Okay, and I'm talking about new voters, people that never gave a fig about politics before.
Okay, and I was wondering aloud if we would have to be spending a lot of time rehabilitating the the malicious and maligning that the media has done against Sarah.
Now, I have a I have a horse in this race, and like Sarah, he hasn't entered yet, if he enters at all.
And I said that to you.
I said Rick Perry.
But you know what?
If Sarah enters the race, that's who's getting my vote.
Because she is the most conservative, probably to me.
Is not what you said, Vinny.
You said you didn't want her to get the nomination because the media has beat her up and she's not salvageable.
No, no.
You review that tape, you will not hear me say that.
I I swear on everything I own.
I never said that.
I was simply wondering aloud if we were gonna have to spend a lot of time rehabilitating.
And I s and I gladly stated I would like to see Rick Perry get into the race because that's the guy I've been looking at, and tell you this.
I because I've talked to Bo enough.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I got I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm sad of uh sadly I'm I'm out of busy broadcast moments or but I'm I'm glad you have a chance to clarify it.
That's Vinny in Queens, and we'll be right back, folks.
Okay, that's it.
First hours in a can.
But never fear.
We have two exciting big broadcast hours remaining.
And again, candidate Rick Santorum will join us in a little over an hour from now for a few minutes.
