Time Text
What's that mean?
Greetings and welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute.
For advanced conservative studies, it's great to have you with us, my friends.
Our telephone number, when we get back to the phones, is 800-282-2882 and the email address LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
We'd like to welcome to the program Rick Santorum, who is one of the Republicans seeking the presidential nomination of the Republican Party.
Senator, how do you prefer to be referred to these days?
You were last a senator.
How are you anyway?
Well, Rush, thank you so much for having me on.
And Rick works just fine.
That's what I was just in a diner in Nashville, and a young lady asked me the same question.
I said, Rick works well.
And so we're not in office anymore.
I'm just out there trying to, as a private citizen, trying to make a difference in our country.
Well, I was going to ask you why now?
Why it's a crowded Republican field?
There are a lot of, the Republican Party is at war with itself, in addition to being at war with Democrats and Obama.
What is it about now that made you decide to toss your hat into all this?
Well, I said this yesterday.
The reason I went to Somerset County actually two days ago and announced was that's when my grandfather came to this country.
He came, left fascist Italy, Mussolini's Italy in 1927 because he didn't want his family growing up with the government telling him what to think and how to do things and get a good job.
He lived in a beautiful little town in northern Italy on a lake and left his eight brothers and sisters and came to this country and worked in the coal mines and ended up until he was 72 years old.
And he used to tell me when I was a kid that the most important thing was freedom.
And I just believe with what we've seen in this administration over the past two years that we are at risk of losing our founders' freedom.
We're at risk of losing what this country has fought for for 200 years.
And I believe the linchpin in losing that is Obamacare.
And you know, Rush, that Lady Thatcher said when she left after she left office and reflected on her career, that she was never able to accomplish in England what Ronald Reagan did in America.
And she said that she blamed the British National Healthcare system.
And what I said yesterday or two days ago was that once the government has an IV line to you and that they can withhold nutrition and withhold care, they can get anything out of America and they can go bigger and bigger and more powerful.
And I just feel like we have to stop Obamacare.
And I think we need a candidate who can be crystal clear on that and had a strong, consistent record on not just health care, but on limited government.
And I believe that I can bring that to the table as someone who's been a very strong, consistent conservative over the years.
Now, you've been doing some radio hosting.
You have guest hosted for Bill Bennett on his show.
So since you've done that, you ought to be able to do just about anything now.
Including the print.
What did that teach you?
I mean, you'd never done it before as a host.
Did that have any factor here in you wanting to get back into your political career?
Well, it was actually a really great way to stay in tune with what people were thinking.
And it was very, very clear to me.
And I'm a listener to TalkRadio.
I've been listening to you for 20 years and really believe in the dialogue and interaction that goes into trying to understand where America is.
And I think Talk Radio is a great place for that.
And I certainly heard from listeners and in traveling the country, because after I started New Talk Radio, I started to do a lot more traveling because I was really concerned about Obama and Obamacare and cap and trade and car check and all those things that were floating back at those times.
And I don't claim to be a Tea Party person because obviously I've been involved in politics for quite some time.
But really for the same reasons the Tea Party people decided to come out of the woodworks, I really decided to come out of my woodworks and get back involved in this because I have seven children, Rush, and I think my duty to them is the same duty that my grandfather was to me, which is to create a, to make sure that we pass on a country that's free.
And I really do believe that's at risk in America.
I think this election is the most important one since the election of 1860.
Why?
Freedom.
I mean, I really can't stress enough how I believe that what Obama's view of America, I always use this quote that he said during Paul Ryan's in response to the Ryan budget, he was talking about Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and he said that, you know, America is a better country because of those programs.
And anyone on it says, he said, I'll go one step further.
America would not be a great country without those programs.
That man doesn't understand what makes America great.
What makes America great was a government that was founded to be limited to doing one thing.
I really believe the whole purpose of America, the aspirational value that why everybody who wants to come to this country wants to come here, was because if we respected the dignity of every human person, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, it is to protect life and liberty.
That is what America is all about.
It's not to take care of people, but it's a belief that free people, if given the opportunity, provide for themselves, collectively we can build a much greater society.
We can build a society that's a good and decent society if government just stays out of the way and creates an atmosphere for opportunity, protects us from outside sources and creates a level plane for all of us to be able to achieve in our lives.
Now, Rick, in that answer, which I liked, I heard a lot of references to what some would call the social issues.
I remember you have said when you announced your candidacy, and you've gotten close to it here, too.
You said you wanted to make sure that there is a conservative in the race who has a track record of leading on moral cultural issues.
Now, you know as well as I do that within the what I call the inside the beltway elitist or ruling part of the Republican Party, they don't want any part of the social issues, Rick.
They don't want to go there.
They don't want candidates that are going to make a big deal out of the social issues because they're afraid of abortion rearing its head, becoming an issue.
Does that present you a problem?
Because this is one of the areas where the Republican Party is in a war with itself.
What I call the, for lack of a better term, the intelligentsia of our party just don't want to go.
They want to keep it supposedly strictly on the fiscal side, but you're fearless going after on the moral and social issues that you've just done here.
Yeah, look, I believe, as you heard, I mean, we're endowed by our creator with certain rights, life, liberty.
I mean, America is a moral enterprise, Russ.
I mean, the idea that Republicans can win elections if we got there and just say all we care about is money.
I mean, people don't care.
Of course, we care about our jobs.
We care about money, but we care about our families.
We care about our communities.
We care about, you know, the dignity of life.
We care about, you know, living good and lives that add to the greatness of this country.
And the idea that we can have limited government rush without strong families.
I mean, family is the first economy.
If the family breaks down, well, government gets bigger because of the consequences of family breakdown we see in the neighborhoods where there are no marriages and there are no two-parent families.
No, you can't ignore the reality that faith and family, those two things, are integral parts of having limited government, lower taxes, and free societies.
We are either going to be constrained by internal controls, internal restraint on our behavior, or we're going to be restrained by external restraints.
And when people say that we can live free and people can do whatever they want to do, show me an example of that in human history.
It doesn't work.
And so I am going to talk about it.
Look, I understand.
You heard me say, Russ, the most important issue is obviously freedom and repealing Obamacare and getting government out of people's lives, lowering taxes and creating growth.
And you know that I was a leader on welfare reform, and I was the guy that led the charge in the United States Senate and actually wrote the original bill when I was in the House.
I was the guy that helped end the federal entitlement.
I embraced the Ryan plan and said that it's a good first step.
And frankly, I would go even further than that.
And I'm out there and talking about all the important issues of the day, but you can't ignore the entire picture.
And I don't think Americans want us to ignore the entire picture either.
We're talking with a former senator from Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
Now, you are, obviously, in addition to being self-described, people just heard it, social fiscal conservative.
You first won a House seat.
Now, you're from western Pennsylvania, heavily Democrat district.
You then...
Thanks to your old radio station, KQV, where you were...
You were this, not even KQV.
They turned...
As you know, they turned into a news format and were the only station in the area that actually covered me.
But I beat a 14-year incumbent, was not given any chance.
And six months before the election, I had 6% name recognition.
So we go about it the old-fashioned way.
This is my 18th visit to New Hampshire while I'm working hard.
That's what I was going to ask you.
You won your House seat in that district.
You then went on to win the Senate twice in a state that most people would not consider to be a majority in support of you.
Now, so you've got, you can tell us how a social conservative can win in a blue state like Pennsylvania or in several blue states.
How would you do it today versus what you did then?
Why do you think you lost the last time you sought the Senate?
Well, I think you're right.
I mean, I won my first four races.
I mean, I'm four out of five.
Not bad.
And three of the first four races, I ran twice for the House, once against this incumbent Democrat.
The second time I got redistricted into a 71% Democratic district against another incumbent Democrat, I won that seat.
The third time I ran for the Senate in Pennsylvania, 600,000 more registered Democrats and Republicans against another Democratic incumbent and won that.
And then in 2000, when George Bush lost the state by four points, I won it by five.
And in 2006, it was a horrible election year.
And, you know, I lost.
But I lost because I continued to be a constant conservative.
And in the last six years, I was someone who was a national figure in the sense that I was the third-ranking Republican in leadership, and I had just run President Bush's campaign in Pennsylvania.
The reason I was able to win before is because people, while they didn't always agree with me, they knew where I stood, and they knew that I did what I believed was right, and that I stood for what I believed in, and they could trust me, even though they didn't necessarily agree.
And I think for a president, very few people believe, you know, vote for somebody because they agree with them on everything.
Most people don't agree with everybody on everything, but they want to believe that that person is trustworthy.
They want to believe that they're authentic.
They want to believe that they're going to actually do what they say they're going to do and that they can be trusted.
And for a long time in Pennsylvania, that was enough to me to get a lot of moderate and conservative Democrats to join Republicans and win.
And in 2006, it was just a meltdown year.
I still led the ticket in Pennsylvania, but our gubernatorial candidate lost by 22 points, and it was just a bad year.
We are talking to Rick Santorum.
We're going to take a brief time out here.
We'll be back, and we will continue with this before you know it.
Don't go away, folks.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, here with Rick Santorum.
Republicans seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
Mitt Romney, in his announcement earlier this week in New Hampshire, said, yes, he believes there is global warming, and yes, he thinks human beings are contributing to it.
Do you?
I believe the earth gets warmer, and I also believe the earth gets cooler.
And I think history points out that it does that.
And that the idea that man, through the production of CO2, which is a trace gas in the atmosphere, and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas, is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all of the other factors, El Niño, La Niña, sunspots, moisture in the air.
There's a variety of factors that contribute to the Earth warming and cooling.
And to me, this is an opportunity for the left to create, it's really a beautifully concocted scheme because they know the Earth is going to cool and warm.
And so it's been on a warming trend.
So they said, oh, let's take advantage of that and say that we need the government to come in and regulate your life some more because it's getting warmer.
Just like they did in the 70s when it was getting cooler.
They needed the government to come in and regulate your life because it's getting cooler.
It's just an excuse for more government control of your life.
And I've never been for any scheme or even accepted the junk science behind the whole narrative.
I see that you've signed the anti-tax pledge in New Hampshire.
What are the specifics?
I haven't actually signed in that today.
That's right.
Which basically says that I believe in pro-growth policies.
In the time I was in the United States Senate and the Congress, I never voted for a tax increase, believed and voted for every tax cut that was made available to do.
And because I believe that we need to have a situation in our country where government is an incentivizer for business by creating low rates and reforming our regulatory structure to make it more friendly to business and opportunity-oriented, as well as I was a very strong supporter of litigation reform to get litigation costs down in our business.
We can compete with anybody in the world if we're provided a playing field that isn't tilted against us.
And that's what I think Obama and the Democrat and the left have been doing for a long time in America.
Let's talk about Obama.
I've talked to a couple, not a whole lot, a couple of potential, some have announced, some haven't, Republican presidential nominees.
And almost all of them, Rick, said to me, Rush, we can't attack Obama.
We can attack his policies, and we should.
And we've got to go after his policies, but we cannot be critical of Obama.
What is your reaction to that thinking?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I'm going to attack the president when he's wrong and when he does things that I think are against the interests of our country.
And my feeling is, we haven't talked about national security.
When the President of the United States goes out and apologizes for America, when he goes out and seems to embrace or even bow to foreign leaders, when he does things that I think make us weaker in the eyes of our enemies and make us unreliable in the eyes of our friends, I'm going to attack him and I'm going to attack what he does.
So you're not going to say, look, I didn't defeat and knock out three Democratic incumbents by not going after my opponent and making sure that they knew that they were going to be held accountable for everything they did and said.
Well, what they mean is he's the first black president, and they don't want to be called racist.
And so they can't be seen as attacking Obama personally.
Of course, I, to check myself in this, imagine that.
I don't know how you separate somebody from their policies.
Obama is his or your policy.
And, you know, Mitch Daniels said that he would be reluctant to debate Obama after we got bin Laden.
He said, I don't know that I'm ready to debate Obama on foreign policy.
You just said you're clearly willing to.
Absolutely.
Look, what Obama did in getting Osama bin Laden was simply a tactical decision.
Presidents, by the way, usually don't make.
The only reason he had to make this tactical decision is because we're going into a foreign country to extract him and kill him.
But other than that, because he's such a high-value target, yeah, he had to make a tactical decision to get bin Laden.
But what presidents are responsible for are not tactical decisions, but higher-level strategic decisions.
And in every contingency that's come up during the Obama administration, President Obama has gotten it wrong and gotten it wrong badly, whether it is throwing Mubarak under the bus, whether it was not going after and supporting the Green Revolution in Iran, whether it's being on the wrong side of Hondurans who were trying to get rid of an Hugo Chavez puppet in their country.
And we're still on the wrong side of that, whether we stiff-armed Colombia in their attempt to get closer to us, to try to rebuff Chavez and the socialists in South America, whether it's the polls and the Czechs that we abandoned to the Russians in pursuit of this utopian ridiculousness of a nuclear-free world that the president is advocating.
He has been on the wrong side of every national security issue since he's been president, and it's made us weaker abroad, and it's made us less secure here at home.
I have a minute and a half.
You ever ask yourself where the American people are, politically?
You ever fear the American people just maybe want a European socialist country that they'd rather be dependent on a government?
Does that worry you?
Does it worry me?
Well, you know, you know, Rush, because you combat it every day with the popular culture and the media and academic institutions.
That gets pounded away every day into the Minds of our young people.
And I don't know how many times I've listened on your show where people said, you know, you opened the scales, fell from my eyes.
I finally, it's making sense to me.
I understand what all of these lies have been told.
You tell people lies enough and you indoctrinate them enough.
Of course, I've got grave concerns.
And that's one of the reasons I'm doing this is because I think we need, look, whoever who's the person who's been able to win the presidency since the age of television has had one thing in common.
They've been the best communicator in the race.
We need someone like a Rush Limbaugh who can communicate and can touch the soul of Americans and can reach out across the radio and television and paint a vision that helps drop those scales, that can remind people what a great country we are, and that it's a great country because we believe in free people and the ability of free people to provide for themselves, the family, their community, and the God they love.
That's what America is about.
And we can get back to that.
We need to begin to believe in ourselves instead of having someone believe, tell us that they need to believe in him, the anointed one, to provide for them.
Rick, thanks for your time.
Your passion is infectious.
It really is.
Thank you.
My wife will tell me if I don't get my website in ricksanthorum.com.
If you can please go to that website and send even a small contribution to encourage us and help us along the way.
All right.
RickSantorum.com, right?
Yeah, that's it, Rush.
Thank you.
You bet.
Thank you very much.
Rick Santorum, former senator from Pennsylvania, now seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
We've got a brief timeout.
And we still got people on the phones on hold.
We'll get to your phone calls and a couple of choice soundbites.
Trump saying I'm right, which, I mean, that's not unique.
Everybody does, but it's nice to hear.
Back after this.
All right, it's out there.
The full-fledged photo of Anthony Weiner's member is out there.
Andrew Breitbart gave it to a couple of serious radio shock jocks who have, well, it's at Gawker.
The pictures at gawker.com.
No longer is Anthony Weiner's member covered by underwear.
It's I'm telling you, it's out there.
It's the Osama death picture of the week.
But it's, let's see if we shut down the gawker servers.
Gawker.com.
Look at Snerdley.
He can't wait to get in there.
Joe in St. Louis.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're next up on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, I love Sarah Palin.
I love Michelle Bachman and I love Harold Kane.
And I have no respect for Romney or Gingrich or any of these guys.
When that guy shot up those people in Arizona and the Democrats and all the Keith Obermans and the Ed Schultz's started attacking Sarah Palin, not one of our men stood up to defend her.
Not one of them.
No, in fact, they got mad at her for standing up to defend herself.
That's why I'll never have any respect for them.
It wasn't Charles Krauthammer who said, how do you feel about Sarah Palin's finger being on the button?
Was it Krautharman that said that?
I don't know.
I don't know if Charles Krauthammer said that or not.
I got a better question.
How do you think our enemies would feel about having Sarah Palin's finger on the trigger?
That's the question.
That's what I care about.
And I think they might be a little frightened.
I think they might be a little fearful.
I think they'll sit up and take notice.
I really do.
And you know what?
Trust her, Rush.
She might not be the most intellectual person, but I believe she would surround herself with the people she needs.
She would get the advice she needs.
And I believe, I trust her that she would make the right decisions and come to the right conclusions.
And I feel the same way about Michelle Bachman and Harold Kane.
I don't necessarily feel that way about Romney or Gingrich or any of those guys.
All right.
Herman Kane, by the way, just not the nitpick, but if I don't correct you on his name, I'll get grief from people for not being fair.
It's Herman Kane, who you're talking about.
I appreciate it.
Joe, thanks much.
Look, people had the same fears about Reagan, his finger around the nuke.
Reagan was an idiot.
Reagan was not intellectual enough.
And by the way, folks, I told you two or three weeks ago when Mitch Daniels pulled out that the Keep a Sharp Eye on Huntsman, that the full court press would begin for the Inside the Beltway Republican establishment of Push John Huntsman, governor from Utah, as a serious candidate.
Michael Gerson today in the Washington Post leading the charge, former speechwriter for George W. Bush.
So this is, I mean, Republican, the Inside the Beltway Republican intelligentsia is making itself known now.
John Huntsman, serious candidate to replace Mits Daniels, who's not running, who is also serious.
Decent temperament and all that.
Folks, I don't know how long this website's going to be up, but there's one that I want you to see.
DirtySpendingSecrets.com is the name of it.
DirtySpendingSecrets.com.
It's an amazing website.
If you want examples of the most ridiculous and outrageous spending in Washington, go to this website, dirtyspendingsecrets.com.
There's so much stuff here.
It's hard to come up with a favorite.
Try this.
Allowing the U.S. Postal Service select 1,100-plus employees per day to sit in empty rooms.
They're not allowed to work, read, or play cards, or watch television or do anything.
But we pay 1,100-plus employees per day in the post office to sit in empty rooms that cost $50 million a year.
Washington, D.C. will spend $615,000 on an archive honoring the grateful dead.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her staff have charged taxpayers $101,000 for in-flight food and liquor on Air Force jets over the past two years for her family and friends as she's transporting them all over the country.
The GAO classified almost half of all credit card charges on government credit cards as fraudulent, improper, or embezzlement.
And the examples include gambling, internet, dating services, liquor, lingerie, iPods, and Xboxes, government credit cards being used for these things.
The website name is dirtyspendingsecrets.com.
And they've gone in there and they just try to find the most ridiculous examples of federal spending and publish them.
And I don't know how long it's going to be up, and we're probably crashing the servers anyway, but dirtyspendingsecrets.com.
Judy and Marietta, Georgia, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Listen, thank you.
You give voice to all my thoughts.
Thanks.
And I want to tell you that I agree with that woman that called you.
I had a conversation with my husband yesterday.
I'm 71 years old.
I was a 10 in my youth, and now I may be an eight for an old lady, but I guarantee you that is the reason these women hate her.
I told my husband that.
She's smart.
She's absolutely beautiful.
They hate her because she's got everything.
And I just had to confirm that when I heard that woman on, honest to God, and the fellow before her, I'd vote for Sarah Palin in a minute, and so would all my friends.
I have to tell you, folks, we're talking about Annette.
She called about an hour ago to explain, because I've been saying I'm getting so much hate mail from women in my subscriber website who want me to stop talking about Sarah Palin.
They hate Sarah Palina, they hate hearing me talk about Sarah Palin.
They're going to stop listening if I don't stop talking about Sarah Palin.
So Annette called and said, the reason is, is that they're just jealous of her being a 10.
She's hot.
And I have to tell you, I've been looking at the email ever since Annette made the comment.
I'm being overwhelmed here in near record numbers from people who are writing to agree with Annette, women and men both, that that is why so many women hate Sarah Palin.
That they're just jealous or whatever they are because she's attractive, they think, and quote unquote has it all.
I guess I should have thought of that on my own.
I just no, I'm not, I'm not, this is not official agreement with Annette.
This is all learning experience for me.
I'm just, to me, it's not about any of that.
You know, when I remember going nuts when I heard her make her speech when she was first with McCain, when she accepted that, I think they were in Indiana, and she'd flown all night from Alaska to have a family there.
And I remember raving about that speech, you know, when she talked about how she'd save money as governor selling the airplane, that speech.
I thought it was just a great speech.
I remember raving and raving and raving about it.
One, because how she looked.
It was the substance and what she stands for.
That's, I don't know.
I'm not trying to sound like an old-fashioned funny dude here, folks.
I just, I really do believe this next election is as important and crucial as any we've had in my lifetime, certainly, and certainly the top five in the nation's history.
And I just, I'm appalled that there's such wishy-washy gutlessness on the Republican side.
We have a landslide waiting to happen.
We have a landslide that could be ours.
Obama's not just beatable.
He is landslidable.
But it isn't going to happen with moderates.
It isn't going to happen with people tiptoeing around.
It isn't going to happen with people operating in fear.
It isn't going to happen with people trying to show everybody that the smartest people in the room.
It's going to happen with passion, conservatism, believability, able to be infectious, persuasive, and all of that, genuinely, passionately believing in it.
It will lead to a landslide victory, one that's needed, and a lot more elections in the future.
This is not just one or two elections to fix this.
A major challenge this country faces.
So to the extent that somebody, Palin, comes along and articulates things that I happen to believe in, and she ends up being assaulted for what are me specious reasons, you know, then I'll be offering up my reaction, which some might say is a defense or what have you.
But I'm fascinated here by all this emails.
Nerdly, I mean, it's near record numbers from people.
You know, we should have done, if I had it, if I've had time, we should have opened the phone lines and take calls from nothing but women asking what they thought of what Annette said.
Maybe we can still do it at some point.
I got to take another time out now.
This is the fastest three hours in the meeting.
It's going by faster than I have time to make sense of it sometimes.
You know, come to think of it, I think that's why some people hate me because I'm so good looking.
I never thought of it before, but it makes perfect sense.
And I'll tell you something else.
If some people can vote for Obama because he's black, then doesn't it make sense you can expect some people not to vote for Palin because she's pretty or because they think she is?
I mean, really, how many votes did Obama get because he was black?
Shocking number, folks.
No way of really knowing.
I'll bet you it's a shocking number.
And there's a story in the stack today.
Obama's no longer cool with white kids on campus.
He's lost his cool.
White college guys don't think Obama's got it anymore.
Not cool.
Don't know why.
Don't know why they thought he was in the first place.
But, yeah, well, they thought he was going to help them get girls just by being on his team.
No.
The girls liked Obama, so the boys did?
Oh, give me a break.
Well, obviously it didn't work because if it had worked, if liking Obama because the girls did it, helped the guys get anywhere with the girls, then obviously it didn't work.
Let us spend a moment, ladies and gentlemen, talking about your car, gasoline that you put in it.
It's getting more and more expensive.
And OPEC just announced that they are not going to do anything on production quotas.
So the price, everybody seems to think, is stuck now at $100 a barrel or higher.
But we've got a sponsor here, the best in their product line, BG Products.
And we're honored to have them.
We welcome companies like them to be a part of our ERB network family.
They actually help you.
Their product is a great assist.
In this case, saving your gas mileage.
And when your gas mileage improves, you spend less money on it, less on the taxes that go with each gallon.
You know, when the car leaves the dealership parking lot, that's it.
It's no longer in the finest physical shape of its life.
It's running nicely and does for a while, purrs along in the highways and byways, but carbon starts building up on the surfaces of your car engine.
And that means the engine has to work harder over time, just like your own body does if you think about it.
You need something to clean it out.
Just get the gunk out.
And that's where BG Products comes into the picture.
They have a service and a product that restores your car to the optimal mileage that you had on the car's first day when you drove it off the lot.
It's much more effective than listening to the advice of an elected official suggesting that you keep your tire pressure in check as a way of combating the price of gasoline.
Keep your engine in the best shape it can be.
And you can do that, get your mileage back by finding a BG product shop near you.
Website that shows you the nearest BG product shop to you is bgfindashop.com.
They built the site just so that you can pinpoint the shop that you want to go to.

Donald Trump, this is Monday morning Fox News channel Fox and Friends.
Brian Kilmead said that Trump, I'm wondering what you would say to Obama and other people.
He says, calling on the private sector to do more.
Why aren't they doing more?
I think China and other places are taking their job.
If you look at India with the tremendous outsourcing that we have, where people answer your phone for credit card things, we are really doing very terrible things to this country.
We're destroying our country.
We're destroying our economy.
We're outsourcing our jobs.
We're not making products any longer.
If you look at products that are being made in China and many other countries, and it's really very sad what's gone on.
So Ducey jumped in.
Steve Ducey jumped in with Trump, and this is what they said.
What you just said echoes what Rush Limbaugh said about the private sector.
Listen to this.
The president of the United States is winning his war against the private sector.
He is destroying it.
That is his mission.
His mission is succeeding.
Do you think that's the president's mission to destroy the private sector?
The private sector is being destroyed, whether anybody likes it or not.
The fact is, Russia's right.
The job picture is horrible.
That was Trump Monday morning on Fox and Friends.
But Huckabee got in on this later on, and they had this discussion, the co-host David Briggs, on Sunday morning.
What's your take on what Rush Limbaugh said about all of this?
The president of the United States is winning his war against the private sector.
He is destroying it.
That is his mission.
His mission is succeeding.
Too far?
Or is this accurate?
I don't know that the president actually has a mission against the private sector.
I think that's a little harsh.
So Huckabee disagrees with Trump and me.
That's very compassionate.
President doesn't have a mission.
It's a little harsh.
A little harsh.
Brief time out, my friends.
Sit tight, and we will be right back.
You know, for the last, what, 20, 30, maybe 40 years since the advent of modern feminism, women have been told that they can have it all.
Hot husbands, a lot of babies, high-profile career, nice house, organized, great bodies, all that stuff.
And whenever a woman comes along and appears to have it all, they shoot her down.
Because it isn't fair.
Especially when the woman happens to be a conservative.
