Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Now, according to the uh according to New York Post, Mayor Doomberg did not cave.
He did not cave to the Occupy Wall Street kids who told him to stay away that they didn't want the park cleaned.
Details are coming up.
It's Friday, my friends.
Great to have you here.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Oh, yeah.
It's Boomer Bust on Open Line Friday.
We've only hit a couple of bombs on open line Friday, but it's always possible.
Open Line Friday.
Callers can talk about whatever they want, whether I care about it or not.
Unlike Monday through Thursday.
So have at it.
Questions, comments, whatever.
Telephone number 800 28282.
And the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So all morning long.
The uh story has been that Mayor Doomburg caved to the protesters down at uh Zuccati, is that the name of this place, Zuccotti Park?
Yeah, Zuccadi Park.
Cave because they simply said there would be trouble if uh you know what you know what I really ought to have.
The Tea Party ought to go down there with mops and brooms.
I mean, the Tea Party members are used to cleaning up after their worthless lazy kids.
They ought to just head on down there.
Well, that's my definition of kids.
Anyway, uh Tea Party should go in there and clean up.
300 people, 300 people getting worldwide coverage.
Hundreds of thousands of Tea Party people ignored.
John King at CNN commits a random act of journalism, and we have the audio soundbite to prove it.
There are more and more random acts of journalism happening out there, uh, folks.
Uh even noted liberal commentators are starting to attack Obama as hey, where's the administrating?
All he's out there doing is raising money.
Obama's bragging about how much campaign cash he's raising while everybody is taking a nosedive economically.
He's out raising money, slush funds, and so forth.
Hopes to have something like a billion dollars soon for his presidential campaign in this economy.
And much of that money is coming from people these kids on Wall Street are protesting and want in jail, and they're too stupid to know it.
We got more audio sound bites of these clowns being interviewed, and it's uh not surprising and it's hilarious at the same time.
So we're ready to go here, folks.
Locked and loaded, as they say.
800 28282 is the number.
The uh AP had a story starting early this morning.
The cleanup of a plaza in Lower Manhattan where protesters have been camped out for a month was postponed early Friday, sending cheers from a crowd that had feared the effort was merely a pretext to evict them.
They would rather live in stench.
These people would rather live in squalor like pigs in a style than have somebody, the adults come in and clean the place up of fear they're gonna be moved out.
The New York City Deputy Mary uh Mayor Cass Holloway said the owners of the private park, Brookfield office properties, and by the way, the owners of this office park are Dyed in the wool Democrats.
This is private property these people are on.
And these are, I'm pretty sure these are Dyed in the Wool Democrats that own this place.
And the uh Brookfield office properties had put off the cleaning.
Supporters of the protesters have started streaming into the park in the morning darkness before the planned cleaning, uh, forming a crowd of several hundred chanting people.
I'll believe it when we're able to stay here, said protester Peter Hogness.
What a perfectly apt name.
For somebody In this situation, Peter Hogness.
He's 56, he's a union employee from Brooklyn, of course.
One thing we've learned from this is that we need to rely on ourselves and not on promises from elected officials.
He did say it.
He did these people clamoring for everybody to pay everything for them to take care of them are now saying only rugged individualism is going to protect us from elected officials.
I'm telling you, you listen to a lot of what these people saying, they have they're clueless.
They actually ought to be on our side, not that we'd want them.
But protester Nick Golotta, 23 was jubilant.
He originally held a sign referring to Mayor Boomberg that said Boomberg didn't, or Boomberg, don't evict Occupy Wall Street.
People cheered and clapped him on the back when he scratched out the don't and replaced it with didn't.
When everybody thought Bloomberg had caved, uh Galata said, just shows when people work together, you really can make a difference and make justice happen.
Yep, you can continue to live as pigs in a sty when you hang together.
That's justice.
You can live in a veritable garbage pit.
Made by you, by the way, your own self-created squalor.
That's justice.
The confrontation between the pigs, that's the cops and these people's lingo, and protesters who had vowed to stay put through civil disobedience had been feared.
Boisterous cheers floated up from the crowds as the announcement of the postponement circulated.
And everybody thought that Bloomberg had caved.
Now the New York Post says that it was Brookfield, the owners of Zuccotti Park, who caved.
And it's interesting why they caved.
Now, by the way, yeah, I want to make this clear.
The founder and owner of Brookfield office properties is John Zucotti, whom the park is named after, he was a Democrat official under Democrat Mayor Beam.
He's a major Democrat donor.
Brookfield reversed its decision to clear the park and clean it up because it was intimidated by elected officials who were siding with the protesters, and angry Mayor Boomberg said today on the radio.
My understanding is that Brookfield got lots of calls from many elected officials threatening them and saying, if you don't stop this, we're going to make your life more difficult.
The mayor said on his weekly radio show.
If those elected officials had spent half as much time trying to promote the city to get jobs to come here, we would have a lot more ways toward answering the concerns of the protesters.
I'm told they were inundated by lots of elected officials.
And mayor said he didn't know which elected officials applied the pressure.
On Thursday, numerous officials, including uh Representative Jerry Nadler and Manhattanboro President Scott Stringer stepped forward to demand that Brookfield and the city try to work out a voluntary resolution of a month-long sleep in.
Now, when Jerry Nadler leans on you, you stay leaned on.
You ever seen this guy?
Yeah, he did.
He uh he had the Rex Ryan belt loop surgery or whatever.
What with a lap band?
Yeah.
Did something like that.
Hey, still when he leans on you, you still leaned on.
But regardless, who the Doomberg says he doesn't know who the elected official does stop and think of this.
Here's this Zuccotti guy, a big Democrat himself, owns the park.
He wants these people out of there, so his property get cleaned up.
He doesn't like having a pig sty outside his window.
And all of a sudden, a bunch of elected officials call and start threatening him, and that's the story.
Most of the time when elected officials start threatening people, it's under the radar.
You don't really know.
I mean, you suspect it's happening.
Here now it's wide open and admitted elected officials threatening a private citizen in their own party.
Now nobody knows if uh Nadler was one of them, but what do we think Snerdley was members of the city council?
Yeah, it's what we've heard.
Members of the New York City Council that were calling Zucati and uh and say, hey, back off.
And the uh the protesters all worried here they're gonna be thrown out of the place.
That's the pretext for the cleanup.
How does a guy own a park in New York?
Well, you can it just well, it's you just he owns the property.
He means he makes a park out of his uh office complex there.
It's not a that's not a big deal.
How does a guy own a park in New York?
Oh, he's clearly in the top one percent.
Yeah, that this the kind of guy the protesters think ought to be in jail.
Yeah, yeah.
In fact, let's um take the occasion here of this opportunity.
Let's uh Ed Roman of Broom Soundbites one, two, and three, the John King random act of journalism.
We'll get back to that here in just a second.
Let's just go to the Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Um Washington at the Occupy DC protest.
MRC TV correspondent Dan Joseph interviewed various unidentified protesters about their beliefs.
He's out do you support, just running around asking various questions, these people.
Do you support a single payer health care system?
Absolutely.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Yes, I do.
Uh no, it has to be single payer universal.
I think maybe a better answer would be a sliding fee scale.
Clarify on that.
What do you mean?
So it's not just single payer, but it's for everybody.
Okay.
People of Cuba are much better off today than they were then.
Okay.
Cuba has the best medicine in the Western hemisphere.
Better not, yes, better than America.
Support a government mandate with the city.
Stop it.
Stop, stop the tape.
Why does it take 10 seconds for the tape to stop when I ask for it to stop?
Must be a computer glitch.
At any rate, where do you think this lunatic gets the idea that Cuba has the best medicine in the Western Hemisphere?
Well, it's not just elected Democrat officials.
Michael Moore made a movie, Sicco, and that was its premise.
He took people from New York or somewhere in the United States that couldn't get health care and put on a boat and took them down to Havana.
It was a pure unadulterated lie.
Now you've also had Hollywood actors who have uh made the same claim.
People like like Sean Penn and others claiming that Cuba has the best medical care.
Um that's why when Fidel Castro, you know, you know what really happened to Castro?
You know what really happened to him?
Yeah, but what he is it his uh um one of the intestines uh had a problem, and the the fix for it was bag, galostomy bag.
And he didn't want that.
So he made the surgeon, a Cuban surgeon go in there and repair, and he got profoundly infected.
Surgery was bad, and they had to call in a doctor from Spain.
Cuba's medical care is so good, they had to call in a doctor from Spain to come over and save Castro's life.
So he didn't want to walk around with a bag.
So, and of course, uh Hugo Chavez apparently uh apparently went to Cuba for his uh what is it?
Yeah, chemo is on the metal block of chemo.
Okay, so Cuba has the best medicine in the Western Hemisphere.
I mean, the the this this is you know, tell you here that the Kook fringe, the Democrat Party is a bunch of lunatics.
They this is who they are.
That is something they really believe.
Let's listen to the rest of the bite.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Yes.
I do.
I think that's really complex.
Yes.
Well, what should that be livable?
Livable wage.
Yes.
I don't support government mandated anything pretty much.
Okay.
How high should it be?
Whatever the cost of living is.
It should be engineered so that it's consistent with people not having to struggle.
No.
Everybody needs to make A contribution to society.
And if they can't, of course, we're obligated to take care of them.
All right.
Everybody needs to make a contribution to society, and if they can't afford to, we're obligated to take care of them.
And Cuba is the best medical care in the Western hemisphere.
Next question.
What do you think of the Dodd Frank financial reforms that were passed in 2009?
I'm just learning a lot about economies.
Never heard of it.
Never heard of them.
Okay.
What do you think of the Dodd-Frank uh financial regulation?
I'm not familiar with that.
Okay.
I'm not familiar with it.
Okay.
Um, I really don't think that any financial reform is going to work, no matter who it is.
I really have not studied it.
So I'll withhold.
I I have to do more research on that before I can give a definitive answer.
I think so, yes.
It's toothless.
It's tootless.
They're doing the same things that they have done before.
And it doesn't, you know, they're countries owned by the corporate tyranny.
They uh they do basically what they are asked to do in the Congress.
Unfortunately, I'm largely unfamiliar with the text of the reforms.
Uh, I do do wish I knew more, but I haven't had the time to study that yet.
Okay, but what about specifically about Dodd Frank?
No.
They're clueless.
I don't know what Dodd Frank is.
And notice, well, I have to study that further.
I haven't had time to study that.
And they are split on illegal immigration.
Dan Joseph, the correspondent here.
Do you believe in open borders immigration policy?
No.
What do you mean by that?
Yes.
Many of the problems caused by illegal immigration is the fact that it is, in fact, illegal.
No.
I would say yes, but also because I want to emigrate to Canada.
What about you?
I I have reservations on that.
A lot of the jobs they do, Americans won't do.
And uh right now we're kicking, as we're kicking these people out, we're losing other jobs because the people who used to do those jobs are gone, and they can't get even unemployed Americans to do those jobs.
Yep.
Not without any kinds of qualifications, no.
So that's uh that that is the cross section of opinion on uh illegal immigration, and again, all kinds of cliches.
That you hear there.
Let's uh let me take a break because I've got let's see, one uh just one more.
Well, yeah, let me take a break.
I got one more of these.
Um the question, do you believe there should be a 50% cut in military spending?
It's probably predictable what they're all gonna say.
We'll play it for you when we get back.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Back to MRC TV.
Correspondent Dan Joseph uh walking amongst the um the protesters at Occupy Wall Street now.
Question Do you believe there should be a 50% cut in military spending?
Yeah, that's being very conservative.
I would say the majority of it and focus on defense rather than offense.
What?
75.
More.
More.
Oh, absolutely.
I've support a 75% cut in it.
I think it's insane.
At least.
Okay.
Actually, I would say more like 80.
80% cut in military spending.
Well, okay, maybe.
We'd still be spending more than everybody else.
Yeah, that's true.
At least.
At least.
Half of that cut, I would like to see spent on the Department of Peace.
We don't have a Department of Peace.
Exactly.
At least.
If the military would have to go in and help after a flood or something like that, then I would say maybe an 80% cut.
But if we're only going to use our military for uh military reasons, you know, for uh attacking and invading other countries, I would ask for a hundred percent cut.
100%, so no military at all.
No.
Every one of these people vote Democrat.
Every one of these people is the product of the American public education system.
Well, doesn't even have to be public, depending on how many of them went to college.
Every one of these people in every question.
Every one of these people is either a student, a former student, has had close contact with the American public school system.
They probably come from families with the family members that have the same point of view, and they all vote Democrat, And they're all just ignorant.
They are what's the other word?
I mean, I'm being charitable, by the way, when I when I say ignorant.
Stupid.
Ill-informed, uninformed.
This is exactly the kind of voter the Democrat Party seeks.
Dumbed down in a haze, knowing nothing.
Believing nothing, other than the cliches and the uh and the BS that represents traditional Democrat Party policy.
They're just stupid.
And you notice how smug they are about it.
They are arrogantly stupid.
This is what we're up against.
These are model citizens, as far as the Democrat Party is concerned.
There were eleven Democrats yesterday who voted with the Republicans in wanting to let women die on the floor.
According to Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi said that the Republicans who opposed federal funding for abortion wanted women to die on the floor.
And there are, as of course, babies dying on the floor is fine.
But women dying on the floor, that's what the Republicans want, she said.
And there are 11 Democrats that voted with the Republicans.
So here are the Democrats.
Now Nancy Pelosi said under this abortion bill, when the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor.
So here are the 11 Democrats who also join the Republicans in um voting to say that women can die on the floor.
Jason Altmeyer, Democrat Pennsylvania, Dan Borin, Democrat Oklahoma, Jerry Costello, Democrat Illinois, Joe Donnelly, Democrat Indiana, Dan Lipinski, Democrat Illinois, Jim Matheson, Democrat Utah, Mike McIntyre,
Democrat North Carolina, Colin Peterson, Democrat Minnesota, Nick Rahall, Democrat West Virginia, Mike Ross, Democrat Arkansas, and Heath Schuler, Democrat North Carolina, all 11 voted with the Republicans to say that women can die on the floor.
Now Pelosi didn't include the Democrats that would be voting for the Republicans.
That's uh with the Republicans, and that's why I wanted to point it out.
I found a couple other sound bites here in the roster.
More questions put to the protesters in Washington.
MRC TV correspondent Dan Joseph.
Question, what do you think of people who don't believe in man-made global warming?
Um while every opinion is valid, not all of them are based in fact.
I think that uh for the most part they're on the payroll of the energy companies.
I know a lot of them think that the earth just is it goes in cycles, but we've been keeping records for a long time, and you can't argue with actual records.
This is not necessarily an absolute, but that's I mean, either they're mistaken or they're intentionally dishonest.
And I believe that some people unfortunately equate opinion with a factual basis, and they say, well, my opinion deserves to be entertained even though there's no evidence supporting it.
I think that they're very similar to religious people, um, where they've made up their mind and they're going to rationalize any new information to fit with their original worldview instead of trying to process and digest new information.
Once again, smug stupidity.
Arrogant smug stupidity from these people.
Of course, this last idiot.
I think they're very similar to religious people.
That's exactly the global warming people are the people who are really global warming is their religion.
And finally, do you believe in God?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I don't know.
That's a personal thing.
No, no, I don't I don't believe any kind of personality.
No, I am not a theist, but I am not particularly non-spiritual either.
Yes.
I don't know.
Yes.
I don't not believe in God.
That's kind of like.
What did Sharpton say uh I can it's it's so cocked I can't Remember what is Yeah, resist we much.
Resist we much.
I don't not believe in God.
Smug arrogance.
Open line Friday.
We always try to go to the phones early on Open Line Friday, first hour, something we seldom do Monday through Thursday.
Here we go.
Tom calling from Long Island.
Great to have you on the program today, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
It's an honor and privilege.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I just um said to Mr. Snorley, I think it's hysterical that there's almost twice as many people waiting online for the iPhone than there is at the park.
Oh, I guess larger than that, isn't it?
It's more than twice.
I thought they said something like 500 people waiting online at uh you know for the new iPhone.
Yeah, but at which store, I mean, there's there's you got the Fifth Avenue, you have it in New York.
You get the Fifth Avenue store, you've got a Greenwich Village store, you've got they're all over the place.
You you the numbers of people all over the country lined up to get iPhones today would dwarf this collection of smug stupidity that's running around thinking that they run the world.
That's I'll bet hundreds of them left the park to go get online for the iPhone.
Well, there are only three hundred people in the park.
But I don't know how many of these people will get in line for an iPhone because you have to pay for that.
True.
True.
And these people don't sound like they want to pay for anything.
It doesn't seem uh these people create the impression that they think things should be given to them.
I haven't activated yet.
I got my iPhone today, but no, my my I can't I I my master computer is the one at home.
I can't activate it on this one.
Uh I I could I could give it a shot with the wireless, but I w I I didn't have it.
I had to do show prep today.
I didn't have time to take off.
Um I did not ha I had I had a I had one problem with iCloud, but it was a computer problem.
It wasn't an iCloud problem.
I had to reboot my computer uh in order to get all of the um the mail to sync.
But no, I I had no problem.
I everything on uh what was it Wednesday went smooth as silk.
But I must be honest, I had a couple things in advance of uh of Wednesday.
Basically all I had to do Wednesday was uh was was iCloud.
And it was it's a snap.
And it works exactly as advertised.
Simply uh simply amazing.
And the piece de resistance.
Of course, we'll be this afternoon when I uh activate the new iPhone 4S.
I got it sitting right there.
It's it's in the sack.
I opened a box.
I uh I looked at it, compared it to the to the four, it's identical.
It's the they've done the only thing different is that the uh three buttons, the the mute button and the volume buttons are a little lower.
But it it that not enough of a difference to um make my case you know, my mofi obsolete.
So I have to buy I don't have to buy any new accessories for it.
Uh Christina Fort Worth, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Great to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Uh my comment is about these protesters, is they're down on Wall Street, and people that walk uh work down on Wall Street are probably some of the hardest working people you're ever going to come across.
My husband was in a Wall Street for quite some time until we moved to Fort Worth, and he put a 15, 18 hour days, and he was doing it, and his bonuses were the majority of his pay.
But we're middle class people, we're not making millions of dollars.
They're down there, and and they have the gall to be protesting, and they don't they obviously don't even have jobs.
They're down there for weeks smelling and stinking up the place.
Right.
Why do you think people now these people as as you've clearly heard are entirely vacant when it comes to intelligence?
They know nothing.
So why your friend is to listen to?
It's horrible.
Right, it is.
But I have a question.
They think what they think.
For some reason.
Because of our educ you're absolutely right, it's because of American education.
And in colleges and universities, you have liberal Professors teaching these kids.
I don't even want to send my kids to college.
I w I wish I could homeschool college because it's scary to think what these children are being uh taught at school.
That's exactly right.
You heard on these sound bites, this is what you get if some kid shows up at any institution of higher learning or even high school and doesn't have any kind of of a foundation to oppose this kind of authority.
They're gonna soak it up and they're gonna become mind-numbed robots marching for the Democrat Party.
These people that when they talk about Wall Street, they're not thinking of people like your husband.
They're thinking purely of the executives, the CEOs.
That's all they think about, because that's who Obama has targeted.
That's who the Democrat Party is targeted.
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Idiocracy.
It's a stupid thing.
Yeah.
But that's where we're headed.
That is exactly where we're headed.
Our kids are being taught uh social liberal ideas, and that's and they think that they're entitled to things without working hard.
Whatever happened to working hard.
It's like going out the window.
I don't think they're being taught.
No, I'm nitpicking here.
I think they're being programmed.
I think they're being propagandized.
What they're running around with is not the product of education.
But you are exactly right.
There are.
Even in Notre Dame, I've I've got a story in the stack here.
There's a philosophy professor at at the great and revered Notre Dame who is polluting students' minds about corporations.
A philosophy professor who's poisoning their minds about corporations.
Now, corporations are the antithesis of what's most important in democracy, and that's the truth.
And it's an attack on advertising.
Uh i it it's it's it's right out of John Kenneth Galbury from the 50s.
It's it's uh it's it's just anti-American screed after anti-American screed, and these and parents are spending 20,000, 30,000 maybe more in some cases per semester to send their kids to these schools.
It's scary because I have two little children, and I'm just scared to see what the future holds for them.
Well, I think your kids are probably gonna be fine.
Now they're gonna go through the normal rebellion against you.
You're one how old are your kids now?
Three and five.
Okay, in about ten years, you're gonna be the stupidest woman on earth.
Yeah, you're right.
As far as they're concerned.
But but regardless, they're they're going to take with them whatever you have have uh uh taught them, and they're gonna have a at least something to oppose what they're hearing by these professors if the situation is still the same.
Uh and it it's your kids, it's not gonna be as easy to brainwash.
It can happen.
You're right to be worried about it.
Well, I hope that's a good thing.
But it's it's you know, brainwashing is very easy when every aspect of the media and the schools of publish industry and Hollywood.
You know, all of this crack the like Michael Moore's movies or that guy talking about Cuba.
I'm a nurse, by the way, the guy talking about Cuba and better health care.
Right.
I mean, I they're they're obviously smoking a crack pipe because you know, and listening to Michael Moore on top of it, but it's it's scary what people actually believe.
They might not be smoking crackpipe.
It's uh but they don't have to be smoking crackpipe to believe that is the point.
It's in mu it's in movies, it's in television shows and books.
They've grown up watching cartoons.
Ted Turner had a Saturday morning cartoon show called Captain Planet, and the hero attacked corporations for polluting the earth.
I mean, the kids have been have been overwhelmed with this stuff.
Yeah.
The only counterweight to it has been parents.
Well, I I I hope and pray that my children will have a better future.
Um, that's gonna depend on getting rid of the Democrat Party.
Yeah, I was just gonna say I'm hoping I'm boom for whoever's whoever's gonna take out Obama, whatever GOP candidate's gonna take out Obama.
At the ballot box, let's specify.
At the ballot box in the purely electoral sense.
Exactly right.
Look, I'm I'm glad you call Christina hang in there.
Thanks, Rush.
I'll tell you when it's time to give up and move.
It's not time yet.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh.
I say it, you believe it with no questions.
Open line Friday, 800 well, you could have questions, but no doubts.
800-282-288-2 if you want to be on the uh program.
One of the scariest things about these uh so-called Wall Street protests is that these kids, and there's a lot of adults in there, too, are parroting and probably believing every last thing Obama and the Democrats want them to say and believe.
Now you go back to the 60s.
Whatever happened to questioning authority, these really are walking zombies.
These are Obama zombies.
These are the kind of people that totalitarians dream of.
This is a model citizen for Mao Saitong until he's killed.
The citizen meaning.
This is a these people are model citizens for people like Fidel Castro, who believe that the government is the end all everything.
The beginning and end.
Government is the focus of everybody's life.
Government is where you get everything that you get.
These people are modern model citizens.
And they are the product of institutions that were established and have been run for decades by Democrats and liberals.
And this we don't know what percentage of the population they are, but they're significant.
They're not a majority, but they're significant, and I think their numbers are increasing because these people procreate.
And whether they end up knowing it or not, and they create even more.
They probably abort more than they end up creating, but regardless, there are a lot of them.
This is why so many of us for so many years have tried to say that the path to victory for this country has to be rooted in ideology.
These people are the product of liberalism.
They're not the product of compassion and good heartedness and tolerance and all that other bogus stuff that supposedly attaches to liberals.
This is nothing more than the success of ideological brainwashing, mind-bending, programming, propaganda, whatever you want.
It has to be countered with ideology as well.
And it's it's it's always going to be a battle because these are the kind of people who think the purpose of government is to create citizens like this.
The purpose of government is to implement their lifelong dreams.
We don't we want to de-emphasize government in our lives and everybody else's lives.
We don't want to have never-ending careers in government.
We want fewer and fewer people in government.
Now, I have to add a slight addenda.
Some of the modern-day conservative movement does want a large government with them in charge.
They're the kind of people that talk about we want a powerful and active executive, meaning president.
They want access to the Federal Treasury.
They want to spend it in ways they think, but they they're we have some so-called conservatives who do believe in the whole notion of big government because they'll tell you that they think that's what the people want.
And so if we're going to survive politically as conservatives, we're going to have to make some concessions and give the people what they want.
If they want big government, we're going to have to concede that.
It's part of the split that has occurred within the uh the so-called conservative movement.
And I guess I'm reasonable I'd be referring to the neocons, if you want to know specifically who, the neocons as they are known by others, but just to identify them.
The neocons believe in an active, large, powerful executive with conservative values.
And no, it's domestic too.
It's not just the neocons are identified with foreign policy, yeah, but but it's the same bunch of people who have that desire for domestic policies.
Well, be right back.
Don't go away.
These kids, these protesters, exactly why I stressed principle and ideology over policy as a strategy for conservatives and republicans to win elections.
During my CPAC speech of uh a year and a half ago.
Open line Friday, a brief timeout, the top of the hour.
