Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
I can just take the day off today.
I can all I've got to do is replay excerpts of the speeches from last night at the convention.
That's how good it was.
Last night was awesome.
It was over the top.
You know what?
There's so many great things about last night.
The class, the obvious class of a Condoleezer Rice.
It's something just as simple that doesn't need to be even really pointed out.
It speaks for itself, the contrast.
The uh the class, the refinement, the seriousness, the sophistication.
The Paul Ryan did something last night that I I think is just fabulous.
He made Obama seem old.
He spoke of Obama in the past tense.
And that gave an air of confidence to the whole thing.
And I think that was one of the feelings that people got watching the convention last night was confidence.
There was great leadership on display last night, a great illustration of the depth of the uh of the Republican, the conservative bench.
That was a Reagan-esque night last night, folks.
It's uh really an upper.
It was it was fabulous.
It's great to have you here.
Broadcast excellence hosted by me, L Rushbaugh, 800 282-2882, and the email address, L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
How about some of these lines from Paul Ryan?
I mean, these are these are things that you and I believe we say to ourselves and our friends, and we have for years, but to hear it, I'll tell you what, the Democrats have been knocked off stride and off balance.
They don't know how to deal with this.
And they don't know how to deal with Paul Ryan.
He defies caricature.
He's not mean, he's not old, he's not cranky, he's not evil.
He's, I mean, he's just he is clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
You can't corrupt the guy.
You can't, I mean, this is not some guy's gonna push his grandmother off the cliff.
This is a guy who gets a tear in his eye while giving a speech, talking about his mom and his uh dad and her single uh her her small business she started at age 50.
Uh so many just I mean terrific thing.
Condoleezza Rice was uh everybody making a big deal about the fact her speech was not on the prompter.
Uh she gives that speech frequently.
In fact, I think that's the speech that she gave at a Romney retreat, which got everybody suggesting she would be great on the ticket as uh as vice president.
We had great definition of American exceptionalism.
We had a great presentation of the uh the fact the United States is the solution to the world's problems, that the world depends on a free and growing, thriving United States.
That that convention last night, you know, I'm sitting there watching it, and things I'm wishing people would say, you know, that I would say if I were there.
I would have added some ideology to it, but I'm not complaining.
Just sharing with you my reaction to it.
One of the things that I was thinking of, uh and you know how I know it's good, if I may be so bold.
And I think this probably might be true of you too.
You know something's good when you want to be part of it.
And and I wanted to be part of that last night.
And I thought so I'm sitting there, uh we we're sitting there and I'm I'm I'm uh thinking, okay, if I were part of this tonight, what would I be saying?
And it was I would there's not much I would add.
I was uh because I and I think one of the things that was said without being said was we don't view this country's guilty.
We don't view this country as the problem in the world.
We do not think this country needs to be cut down to size.
We don't think I mean there were every speaker last night, every one of them talked about something that's so quintessentially American that it's been forgotten.
And it's being pummeled and criticized by the Democrats.
Every speaker spoke about what the American dream was to them, and without exception, you know what it was?
It was nobody's born into a certain class that you're doomed and destined to remain in for the rest of your life that you are able to build your life and your dreams according to the ambition and amount of desire you're willing to put into it.
And they all gave personal testimony to that aspect of their lives.
The uh the the New Mexico governor.
Damn, Chuck, we're Republicans.
And she was being recruited by a couple of Republicans to join the party.
She says, I won't go to lunch with them just to just to say we did it, but after the lunch, she and her husband Chuck get in a car.
Damn, Chuck, we are Republicans, and they went and re-registered right there.
But the even she had everybody talked about coming from well, relative nothing to making something of yourself, and how there's nothing wrong with that.
That's quintessentially American.
It's great and it's possible, and it's it's what sets it apart.
It was so optimistic, it was so uplifting, and last night, again, I want to stress Barack Obama ended up being portrayed as old, tired, worn out in the past, that Ryan line about in your twenties in the bedroom where you grew up,
all depressed, looking at faded Obama posters on the wall, wondering when you're going to be able to get out of there and start your own life.
I we laughed ourselves silly over that, and in fact, we uh I had to pause the proceedings during the course of them for about five minutes.
So we were five minutes behind live, and I started getting emails about that.
And I said, damn it, my hearing?
Why did I I forgot that we were five minutes behind?
I started cursing my hearing.
How did I miss that?
And then it came five minutes later, and I and I knew what uh what everybody was talking about.
Rights come from nature and God, not government.
That's so we say that to ourselves, we know it.
But to have it said on national television like that by what about Well, I know the the uh starting their own business at age fifty.
Uh you you you want to talk about relating to women.
How many women who watched Paul Ryan last night think this party's got something against them?
I mean, it's it's just absolutely absurd.
All of the ludicrous silliness that is the modern-day Democrat Party in the Obama regime was just blown to smithereens last night.
Uh Ryan, we can do this.
We can do this.
It was a sub-theme of the speech.
We can do this.
Nate.
Yeah, I did.
I liked it when he called him out on a Medicare debate.
I love the the number, the 716 billion dollars.
Yeah, I loved every aspect of it.
There were a lot of people I hoping uh I read yesterday a lot of people hoping that that Ryan would go wonk or half wonk, uh, really get into the nuts and bolts of policy to show our seriousness.
And I didn't know if he was going to do it or not, so I was waiting for that during a speech, and I thought a couple times he was going to get there, but he didn't, which's fine.
Being successful in business, that's a good thing.
That's a good thing.
Being successful in business is a good thing.
I'll take freedom over the supervision and sanctimony of central planners any day.
And this the uh what was that line about uh the audience not free is us?
Everything's free except for us.
And then, yeah, country where everything's free but us.
College grads shouldn't live at home staring at faded Obama polsters.
It all started with stirring speeches, Greek columns, the thrill Of something new, and now all that's left, this was so great.
All that's left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, grasping at a moment that's already passed like a ship trying to sail on yesterday's wind.
Oh yeah.
This business of the G implant in Janesville, Wisconsin.
You know it's fascinating, isn't it, to watch the media try to say that Ryan lied about that.
Do anything they can, of course, save Obama.
And of course, all the fact checks have been done today, and I get into the details of it, but Ryan was right.
That plant was open when Obama assumed office.
It was announced in December of 2008 was going to be closed, but it was still open, and Obama had promised to keep it open, and it was still open a couple of months after he was immaculated.
But I and we can, we could get into the minutia of that.
But the real point about that is that not only is that plant closed down, but how much of America has been closed down in the last three years in the last three days.
Not just that plant.
Places where 22 million people used to work no longer provide jobs.
And so we've got the Democrats arguing about one GM plant.
No, no, Obama didn't get rid of Obama.
Oh yeah.
That's the best they've got.
The best they've got is that that plant, no, Obama didn't close that one.
And they're lying about that.
James Carville says the Democrats are worried and should be worried.
He was on CNN last night.
Wolf Blitzer said after listening to Paul Ryan, will the Democrats be worried about this campaign, Jimbo?
I think the Democrats are worried right now.
They were worried before this convention.
It's a very tight race.
If you look at it, Obama's probably up one to three points.
So who wouldn't be worried in that circumstance?
Worried because they don't know how to go out and destroy Ryan.
They just don't know how to do it.
Their usual tactics are not gonna work on this guy.
This is the kid next door.
This is the guy next door that used to cut your lawn that was a Boy Scout and help little old ladies across the street.
It's a guy whose father died at 16.
His mother had to remake her own life starting at 50 with what was a 40-mile bus trip every day, and the family rallied around her.
Here's Beckle.
Now this was this morning on Fox, America's newsroom of Bill Hammer, and they played the Himmer played a clip of Ryan talking about saving Medicare last night.
And by did you notice a little observation here.
The place came alive.
It was a standing ovation at the mention of Ryan and Romney and the whole party saving Medicare.
I looked at Catherine, I said, Well, I have mixed emotions.
We're getting a standing ovation here on an entitlement.
I don't know how I quite feel about this.
You're getting a standing ovation on a promise to save an entitlement, which, of course, we're all about bringing those back into some sort of semblance of responsibility.
But the context of this was that there's an argument, the Democrats accusing us of taking it away from people, and Ryan made it clear that if anybody's doing damage to Medicare as well as the rest of the country, it's Obama.
So I want you to hear Beckle.
The question from Hemer was this might be the first question at the vice presidential debate between Ryan and Joe Biden on the future of Medicare.
What's your take on this, Beckle?
Medicare has always been, in the end, it is a dangerous place for them to tread.
And by the time we're done with it, we have had a great history.
We Democrats are scaring the hell out of old people.
My mother used to call me and say, my Social Security's going.
I said, just go vote Democrat on Tuesday and you'll have it back on Wednesday.
Hey, he being straightforward.
We've always had great success and a great history scaring the hell out of people.
Well, what If they're unable to do it anymore.
What if they're not able to scare every seasoned citizen like they used to be able to?
That will be akin to losing a percentage of the black vote.
So I think Beckles answered there.
It's sort of like Howard Enio.
Go ahead.
Nobody's gonna believe Democrats got Medicare.
It ain't gonna happen.
I think we're in a different era now.
And the confidence that's coming out of this convention is gonna hold all the way through the uh through the campaign.
So let me take a brief time out.
We'll come back and resume with all the rest of this, and of course, your telephone calls, as always, will be a small part of the program.
And we're back, El Rush Bow having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I'll tell you what, it's it's hard to pick out one thing from last night.
It stands out that you like more than anything else because there was so much.
But one of the things I have to mention, because it's been such a crucial point.
I've tried to get across for all these years, and that is the mobility that people have in this country, and that the rich sometimes don't stay rich.
They lose it.
And they rebuild it.
That people are constantly moving into and out of different income levels, that nobody is destined for the rest of their life to the economic station into which they're born.
And Ryan, Ryan made that point very quickly.
A lot of the speakers did last night, some indirectly, some directly.
But Ryan actually acted somewhat perplexed and frustrated.
Anybody can think, okay, you're born as somebody at mows the yard, and that's all you're ever gonna do.
What who thinks this way?
He says the Democrats do.
They want you to think that's all this country offers you, but we and the government will take care of you.
Ryan's out there talking about here I'm in my 20s, and I'm I'm I'm trying to earn some extra money mowing a yard.
And I'm not thinking that this is the rest of my life mowing lawn.
I'm planning the rest of my life.
I'm dreaming the rest of my life while I'm pushing the lawn more.
Now to you and I, this sounds natural and obvious.
But you have to remember the Democrat Party and their and their collaborators in the media have been beaten up on people.
They do it every day in the schools.
You can't amount to anything in this country, dextacked against you.
The rich aren't gonna let you have anything, the rich gonna take everything you've got.
You have to put your trust in us.
You gotta live on food stamps, you've got to live on our welfare, gotta live with whatever we give you.
We'll make sure you're treated fair, blah, blah.
And a lot of people end up thinking this, and that's why the Democrats kill dreams, they kill ambitions.
I tell you, we had Catherine and I had so much fun last night.
It was time to call the winner of our latest two if by tea sweepstakes, which was the is the cruise, the big cruise.
We always have fun calling these because we do it ourselves.
So the the winner of the seven-day cruise of the most recent sweepstakes, a guy in Parker, Colorado, named Dan Baker.
So we get the desk and and and Catherine turns on the call blocking and then we dial it.
And halftime we get voicemail, leave them the message, tell them they won.
Sometimes they pick up.
Last night, Dan Baker answered the phone.
Say, hey Dan, Rush Limbo, my wife Catherine here, two if by tea, and we are bearers of great news for you.
You've just won the great prize, a week-long cruise, you board in Fort Lauderdale, it's in the Eastern Caribbean, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Silence.
For what seemed like 20 seconds.
And Catherine said, Hello.
Are you there?
He said, It can't be you.
It can't be you.
And then, no, it really is.
I started talking about environmentalist wackles.
He asked me, can we smoke on the cruise?
Said, yeah, not only can you smoke in the cruise, you throw the cigar in the ocean.
And hope some environmentalist wacko sees you do it.
And that's when he knew it was me.
And then he said, I don't believe it.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe that well, it's us, it really is.
Folks, I can't tell how much fun this is to call these winners.
Because they're there that we luck out, they're all great people.
This guy's 50 years old.
You know what this guy did?
This guy told his wife that he was gonna enter this contest and buy some tea To win her this cruise for his 50th birthday.
That's what he told us.
And she wasn't at home, so he asked us if we would call her because he didn't think that she would believe it.
So we said, sure, we'll call her.
Her name's Jane.
So we called, and it rang and rang and ranks.
You know what?
He's on the phone with her, telling her not to answer.
So it'll go to voicemail so that they'll be able to prove to people it's really us that we call them.
And that's what happened.
Went to voicemail.
We left the message.
And so they're the winners of the uh of the of the big two if by tea sweepstakes, the uh big seven-day cruise.
He he told his wife he bought some tea, he's gonna win her a cruise for her birthday.
She didn't think he was serious, and it's just it, I tell you, it was just so much fun with with people like this.
It's so appreciative and it's almost magical component to it.
So I wanted to congratulate him again, let them know by telling it here that it's real again, and we will be back.
Hurricane Isaac is dumping rain galore on regions of the Gulf Coast.
New Orleans missed a direct hit.
No direct hit in New Orleans, media devastated, media terribly disappointed.
However, there is looting in New Orleans.
I have a serious question, and maybe I'm dreaming a little.
How many people in that area remember all of the criticism that Bush got?
Bush was blamed for Hurricane Katrina, not folks like it would be very serious with you here.
It wasn't just FEMA and Bush in the aftermath who got blamed for not being there soon enough and not doing enough.
Don't forget that there were civil rights leaders.
Civil rights leaders, I need to mention the names, uh, Reverend Zach and the Reverend Sharpton and others, who were implying that Bush was behind that hurricane hitting where it hit.
There were civil rights leaders who said that the Republicans wanted poor people to suffer, to lose their homes.
Because they didn't like black people.
There were civil rights leaders who said that this is what the Republicans do.
They have natural disasters and they steer them to certain places, and then when they happen, they don't help anybody.
And then when people started fleeing New Orleans and went to Texas, the allegation was, yeah, that's what the Republicans want.
They want as many Democrats to leave Louisiana so it becomes a Republican state.
All of that was said.
My question, you look at video, there are people losing their homes, flooding galore.
There is now looting.
And where's Obama?
Where's FEMA?
Where are the Democrats?
Where's the compassion?
Do you think anybody on the ground's asking that question?
Do you think before this thing hit that people were leaving in that region?
I don't have any to worry about, because Obama isn't Bush.
Obama cares.
You don't think that?
You don't think people were saying that to themselves?
I wonder.
And then yesterday, Obama spent what, an hour on a website called Reddit answering questions while all this is going on.
So I'm just I'm just wondering how many people are really surprised that Obama hasn't been able to stop this.
And that Obama and the Democrats aren't there to fix this.
Remember it was just like in 2009 when Obama was immaculated.
We had that first town hall meeting.
We had people actually thought Obama was going to give him a new kitchen.
Give him a new car.
That's what they thought his election meant.
It's finally going to take care of them.
They've been screwed for 200 years, and now things are going to be made right.
Well, now it's almost four years later, and everybody is worse off.
And the poor are poorer.
The jobless have been jobless for longer than anybody ever expected.
There isn't any Good economic news whatsoever.
I just wonder.
Then the media's not going to cover this angle.
I just wonder how many people living down there.
After hearing all of this blame Bush got, Bush could have stopped it.
Bush could have acted sooner.
FEMA could have gotten here quicker.
I could have saved my house.
I didn't have to lose my I wonder how many people are now before this storm hit, thought it'd be going to be different now because Bush is gone.
Obama's in there.
He cares about us.
And of course, there's nothing anybody can do to stop the storm, and there's nothing anybody can do this quickly to fix any problem that results.
But how many people do you think had high expectations before this storm hit, day or two before it hit of Obama being different.
How many people still holding on to that?
And I think this I bet the number would surprise you.
I'll bet more people than you think.
I don't know how many, but I bet you it's more than you think.
And I'll bet you there's some people down there that'll scratching their heads in surprise that Obama hasn't shown up.
And that the Democrats aren't making a big deal out of this.
And uh the the rescues, the aids, the money to pay for damage, it hasn't shown up yet.
Because remember, all that didn't happen last time because of Bush.
And you couple it with Ryan last night.
One of the themes, Ryan and a couple other speakers, was Obama's in the past.
Tried it, it's a miserable failure.
It didn't work.
It's just faded posters.
Old, tired, worn out.
I'm just wondering, I may have a little bit of my own dreaming going on, but I'm just wondering how, and we'll never know.
The media is not going to cover this angle, obviously.
They only would do this if it were Republican president.
If we were Republican president, we'd be getting reports of exactly what I'm telling you.
If Bush were still there and another hurricane had hit, we'd be getting reports about how disappointed people are.
Bush didn't learn from his first mistake and wasn't there sooner and didn't show up and wasn't helping.
Now here we guy who uh have a guy ran for presidency gonna lower the sea levels.
What's he doing?
Well, my water in my backyard's rising.
Where's Obama?
If he could lower the sea levels, can't he lower the puddle in my backyard?
It may be more people than you think.
After the audio sound bites, last night CNN, Republican convention coverage correspondent Tom Foreman.
They had a focus group.
Undecided Florida voters.
And the focus group was to listen, watch Ryan's speech, and then undergo interrogation from CNN afterwards.
Tom Foreman said to the focus group, did you like it when he talked tough about the economy?
Did you like it when Ryan talked tough about the president?
I think he spent a lot of time bashing President Obama and not enough time talking about what they're gonna do for this country.
All right, let me grab a guy in the back row here.
What about you?
When he went after the president and pointed out what he thought was wrong with the president's programs, what did you think about that?
I think he was spot on on what he pointed out there that you know he hasn't done enough in the four years.
Somebody gives them an opportunity, it's what they do with that opportunity.
He was giving the opportunity as president of the United States, and he has not turned the country around.
Okay, so they cancel each other out.
Fine and dandy.
Next question.
They were talking about Ryan and his uh mother with these undecided Florida voters.
And during the discussion about Ryan speaking of his mother, Foreman and a female in the focus group had this little exchange.
When he started talking about his mother and her struggles and family struggles to make things better, the women in this group, by and large, said, good thing, positive thing.
Why do you just because there's a lot of single moms out there that are going through that same thing, and they leave yet, they give a good example, and we try to instill that in our kids as we're raising them.
And that he respects her so much.
Yeah, exactly right.
Uh don't think the term war on women came up.
I don't think they had the guts at C and then after that speech to even mention war on women using those exact words.
So we gotta take a break here.
I'm gonna come back and we'll get in to some excerpts of Paul Ryan's speech when we get back.
Hi.
How are you?
Welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Boy, I don't want to beat a dead horse here.
I just, I'm going to tell you, I'm surprised.
Something that I thought would have been happening in droves by now.
And I predicted that it would be all over the media to the point that we couldn't avoid it, and it isn't happening.
You go back to Hurricane Katrina.
look at the big deal the Democrats made out of the Republicans and Bush not caring.
Now that was a category three, revised later category five for a period of time hurricane.
Superdome roof destroyed, all kinds of stuff.
We remembered the pictures.
We remember the anchors crying.
We remember William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, uh stealing a ship, a boat trying to get to his freezer where he had $90,000 there.
We had all of that.
And we had the Democrats making hay as they set up for the 2008 campaign on Bush not caring, insensitive, flying over the hurricane, the disaster area from Air Force One looking down on it, not caring.
I would I expected Democrats, FEMA, some bureaucracy, I expected them to be down there passing out money, passing out packages of something, even if they were empty just for the optics of it.
ATM cards representing food stamp exchanges.
I I thought they'd be all over this to try to draw the contrast to how much they care and how quick to respond they are compared to these evil, rascally Republicans who want you to drown and who want you to starve and who want the water to remain poisoned and the air to remain dirty and all that.
And I I have to tell you, unless I'm missing it, I'm surprised I haven't seen any Democrat of note from FEMA or any other disaster bureaucracy down there doing anything, braving the floods themselves just for the optics of it, even if they don't do anything.
I I am I'm really surprised that they're not trying to show the difference in how quick they respond, how much they care.
Chuck Schumer down now, nobody's down there that I see.
They're leaving it all up to the liberal media anchors and Shep Smith.
Well, I repeat myself.
Maybe it's just me.
Maybe it's just me.
I uh I'm I'm shocked.
And I think they're they're blowing an opportunity.
Uh as big a deal as they made, and as they continue to make about Republicans not caring about poor people, wanting them to die, all that stuff.
Where is Kanye West?
Where's Sean Penn?
You let this happen in in in Haiti, and they can't get there fast enough.
Where are all the FEMA trailers?
We're all Hollywood actors and actresses, where all these big hearted, compassionate leftists, who can't wait to get to Haiti or Jamaica or wherever some disaster happens.
Where are they?
And I'm not I don't mean where are they helping.
I mean where are they trying to uh cast this political picture?
Make this image, where are they?
Is it that they really don't care?
Is it they don't think they have to?
Have they not thought of it?
This is weird.
Uh one other thing before we get to the sound bites.
This Yahoo guy that got canned David uh David Shalium.
I've been thinking about this.
What did the what actually happened here?
Okay, this guy who teaches at Georgetown and is uh worked at ABC and he's worked at PBS.
Gwen Eiffel, the PBS put out this tweet.
One mistake doesn't matter.
This is the greatest guy political journalism's ever had working in it, or some such thing.
Well, what did he do?
He's yucking it up with his liberal buddies saying what they always say.
Oh, yeah, Republicans.
They have no problems throwing a party when black people are drowning.
So this one happened to be caught by an open mic.
And we mention it, and Yahoo waste no time, and they fire the guy.
And I was thinking, I was thinking two things.
Well, if you're gonna fire this guy for saying this on an open mic, they say this as part of their news reporting all the time.
This guy didn't say anything unique.
How many of the rest of these liberal media types say that in effect in their news stories?
At the AP, the Washington Post, the New York Times, on MSNBC.
This guy didn't say anything that they don't say in their news reports.
This guy said it outside of a news report.
Well, microphone was hot and everybody was a live feed.
But they're acting like, oh, we can't tolerate this.
This is standard operating procedure.
What this guy said is the foundation for all of their reporting.
Republicans don't care about black people.
Republicans are laughing and plauding when black people die.
That's every day.
That's in every news story.
So I think this guy ought to sue them.
I think this guy ought to sue Yahoo for wrongful termination.
He only said what they all say among themselves.
And they all think it.
I mean, everybody heard the guy say what he said laughed about it.
So he gets caught on a live mic.
Do you realize if this guy had written something like that in a news story or attribute it the way they do it is they go out and they find somebody to say it that is quotable.
Man on the street.
Oh yeah, Republicans don't care about black people drowning.
They'll be happy to throw a party.
That's how they do it.
But they do it.
They get it in there.
I mean, they don't speak it themselves or write it themselves, but they make up man on the street sources that they can quote in these stories.
I I think this guy's got a wrongful termination suit.
Because this is what they all think and say.
It's in their, it's in their news reports, front to back, top to bottom, each and every day.
Okay, I look at verbal diarrhea.
I've I've spoken through a period of time I want to play Ryan Bite.
So we're going to move at the top of the hour.
I'm going to grab a phone call now, and we'll move the Paul Ryan sound bites at the top of the hour.
We get back from that break.
We're going to start in Boston.
Ronnie, I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
I'm very glad I called too, Rush.
Thank you very much for taking the call.
You bet.
I'm calling to ask you a question, and I'm going to tell you why I'm concerned about it.
Are you concerned that illegal immigration has been treated like it doesn't even exist at the Republican National Convention?
I don't think a single speaker has addressed what an uh what a Republican administration would do about illegal immigration and any solid leadership or answers.
And I think that the um what one correction, Nikki Haley, and we've got her soundbites, so I finally got these.
She did two nights ago, made a big deal about it.
Oh, well, then I apologize.
I I missed that.
But my point is that you can bet that the majority of speakers at the Democratic National Convention are going to address it directly.
And I don't think you can talk about getting people back to work while ignoring the enormous drag that all of these illegals have on the economy or being too afraid or unworked to point out that through executive fiat, President Obama just flooded our already starving work market with two million more people that they now have to compete with for work.
And I don't understand why it's so hard to just speak to a winning issue that that the you know the mythical.
A, they're not bringing it up because it will generate charges of racism, which they don't want, which they're already dealing with.
Number two, they figure that the base to whom this matters the most is gonna vote against Obama anyway.
So they are taking the path of least resistance.
It's a subject they think they can get away without mentioning.
They do not believe that people like you, Ronnie, will decide not to vote because of this.
Well, I that's my wild guess on their thinking.
That's uh you know uh we'll have to wait and see.
But you're not the first person to mention this to me.
Hey Ronnie, Ronnie in Boston.
One thing.
Marco Rubio speaks tonight, and I don't know for a fact, but I would be shocked if Marco Rubio does not talk about immigration.
He talks about it everywhere he goes, it's a signature issue.
I think you can look forward to Marco Rubio talking about it brilliantly, by the way, during his speech tonight.
Much more straight.
Please don't go anywhere.
