Time Text
I I think I I think I have a really good question to ask here.
You heard the intro, I'm a guy from Milwaukee.
That's what I am.
I'm a conservative.
I'm a white conservative from Milwaukee.
I always try to put myself in the other guy's choose, and I like to try to figure out why people think the way that they do.
And I've got a lot of answers to explain human nature by trying to figure those things out, but there's one I don't get.
Why do blacks and Hispanics keep putting up with the treatment they get from the Democrats?
I want you to think about this for a minute.
The United States Senate has 100 members.
One is black.
He's not he's a Republican.
The black vote for Obama was what?
The exit polls 96%, 95%, 97%?
There are some wards in American cities, central cities in which Romney got zero votes.
Yet the number of prominent black Americans in positions of leadership in the government of Barack Obama and in the Democratic Party of the United States.
You're hard pressed to think of anyone.
Why do they put up with that?
The end of the last hour of the program I mentioned that to succeed the late Senator Daniel Inoway, who died a few days ago, Democratic member of the Senate, gracious man.
The governor of Hawaii, who is a Democrat, named his lieutenant governor a guy named Ryan Schatz, white guy.
Hawaii.
Every possible type of minority group imaginable is in Hawaii.
Yet can anyone say that they're surprised that a Democratic hack from the Hawaii Democratic Party was chosen to be their next United States Senator.
In a way, himself wanted a Congresswoman, female, Hawaiian by ethnicity, to succeed him.
They ignored his wishes.
Now obviously he doesn't have the right to name his successor after he's gone, but they chose a white guy.
If the Democrats in Hawaii can't find a person of color, the phrase they love to throw around so much, to serve in the United States Senate, what Democrat is going to?
Jesse Jackson had to try to bribe his way into the Senate seat.
You know, when Rob Ligoyevit was talking about he had this golden thing.
Jesse Jackson Jr. was talking about pay, you know.
Making a bribe offer.
That's the thing that Blagoevich was going to try to sell it.
That was the only way you were going to get a black guy in, even in Illinois.
It was going to sell him the seat.
In the meantime, here you have the Republicans.
There are some black Americans who have to be so independent of thought to overcome the fear pressure, the family pressure.
The fact that they are so surrounded by this group think that, well, if you're African American, you have to be a Democrat.
But there are some who are open-minded and have chosen a different path.
The Republican Party, the party that's supposed to be the old white boys, the people who don't care about anybody other than the rich, supposedly.
They have embraced and welcomed black members of their party.
You're a black Republican, you have the ability to run in a predominantly white district and win.
Find the same in the Democratic Party.
Virtually every Democrat in elective office in the United States House of Representatives is an example comes from a predominantly black district.
Find the black Democrats who come from predominantly white districts.
don't exist.
It's not like the Republicans have a lot of minorities to choose from.
As I said, virtually every black American voted for Obama.
It's not like there are millions and millions of active Republicans out there.
Yet those who have joined the party have gotten a hearing.
They're given an opportunity to advance.
They're treated seriously.
And they are not tokens.
Tim Scott, Chosen to be the new United States Senator from South Carolina by Nikki Haley, herself Indian American.
I think Indian American, Nikki Healy, I think I'm right about that, yeah.
Yeah, you know, could have chosen any number of Republicans from that state.
Tim Scott was a rising star in the United States House of Representatives.
I'm not familiar with every stand he takes on on every issue, but he's a highly regarded guy.
He was chosen for that position by Nikki Haley because she thought he was the right man to represent South Carolina.
Yet Democratic voters in Democratic states, the party that claims to be so multicultural, why don't they have any why are there no black Democratic senators?
Not one.
The only member of the United States Senate, black, is a Republican.
I'm just amazed the Democrat the the black that black Democrats put up with this.
Then Hispanic Democrats.
The Republicans did not do well with the Hispanic vote despite all their trying at the convention.
They featured one Hispanic speech speaker after another after another after another.
Yet Obama cleaned up with the Hispanic vote.
But what's the party?
Which party is the one that gives Hispanics the opportunity to advance?
It's the Republican Party.
The new senator from Texas Ted Cruz is Hispanic.
You have Marco Rubio from Florida, Hispanic.
Where are all of the Democratic, Hispanic United States senators?
You can even look at the cabinet.
You can say, well, there's Obama himself, the first black president was a Democrat.
That's true.
But Obama was never the choice of the party leadership.
He kind of barged his way through and beat the anointed one, Hillary.
I just this story from Hawaii, in which there was all this competition and all these Democrats out in Hawaii, they're elbowing one another around, and the governor in Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie goes and chooses a white guy to replace Daniel Inoway, given how obsessed that the liberals normally are,
and black Democrats normally are about keeping quotas and keeping score, and their continuing commitment to affirmative action, you think that they'd be raising a question about this.
You'd think that some black leaders would be wondering why.
You can't find a single black person to win a United States Senate seat in any of these overwhelmingly Democratic states.
Take Ohio.
The most recent black candidate for the United States Senate from Ohio was a Republican, Ken Blackwell, right a few years ago.
Why are no black candidates running in Ohio?
Democratic Party.
You've got states with large black populations, in which those voters vote almost unanimously Democratic.
Yet they're passed over for the really good jobs.
United States Senate, that's about as good as it gets.
I'm not suggesting that the Republicans need to be praised for being so open to minorities, even though they clearly are.
Every single Republican that I can think of, minority Republican, has been given an opportunity to advance and excel in the party.
You go back to JC Watts, you go to Alan West, who just lost his house seat in Florida.
Any number of them.
They're not shut out.
There's no ceiling that, well, this is as far as you can go, but there sure seems to be one in the Democratic Party.
And I guess given the agitation that we get, the keeping score that we get on almost everything else.
I mean, where's Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this?
Why aren't they complaining about this?
And the black voters who are so loyal in their support for Democrats.
Why are they okay with being shut out of all real power?
Who's the Democratic leader in the United States House of Representatives?
Nancy Pelosi, a rich white woman.
Rich white.
isn't that what the Republicans are supposed to be?
I just think it's a question that somebody ought to ask every now and then, and I'm fascinated as to why black Democrats are okay with the fact that they never get any of these big jobs and why.
But even when you can do it by appointment, you don't have to worry about winning election.
They never choose seem to choose.
The last one the last black Democratic Senator was who the person who filled the uh uh uh Obama spotted a temporary basis, and that was Roland Burris, the former comproller in the state of Illinois this former state of Illinois.
He was appointed to that, and he was and it was agreed that he was not going to be running for a full term.
And yet, you know, in that save.
Anyway.
I want to spend at least a moment here talking about a great American.
He's somebody that whose leadership in our country wasn't perfect.
But he was a great American who cared about our country, and he's really sick right now, and that's the first President Bush Bush, George H. W. Bush.
You know, a lot of us are still frosted about the read my lips no new taxes and how he reneged on that issue and helped put Bill Clinton in power.
There are a lot of people who think that he wasn't sufficiently conservative, and some people think that he worked a little bit too hard to topple the Reagan legacy when he talked about a kinder, gentler America, it was seemed to be a shot at Reagan.
All of that is true.
But George H. W. Bush loved America.
He served his country as long as he was alive.
He was a good indecent man, the leader of a tremendous American family.
And I think we should all today wish he and his family well as he battles through what is obviously a really serious health issue.
I'm very critical of President Obama, as you know.
Because I don't think that in the end, he really cares about the success of our country.
I think both Bushes did.
I think most people who are called to that position of leadership understand the responsibility that's placed upon them.
Our best wishes to the uh Bush family and a former President Bush.
Mark Belling sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
Mark Belling sitting in for Rush.
Doing the program from EIB Command Central in Manhattan.
There aren't grocery stores in Manhattan.
You know, I'm from Milwaukee.
We have grocery stores.
There are like markets here.
I needed to buy some cough drops because I have my annual cold, which always occurs the week between Christmas and New Year's, which is always when I fill in for Rush.
Went past the milk section.
Hillary Clinton's face was on Mel Carton.
I don't know why that where is she?
Is she gonna get away with this not testifying about the Benghazi thing?
You know what she's doing.
Do you?
She had a concussion.
We heard about that concussion like five days after they said that they that said that she had it.
Now I hope she really isn't sick.
I sincerely I mean that.
I hope she isn't sick, but I don't believe she is.
You know, they put out that statement while she looks forward to testifying next month.
I don't think she's going to testify next month.
When she's no longer the Secretary of State, they'd have to subpoena her to testify rather than, you know, cabinet members are expected to testify before the Congress during its oversight and review.
When she's just regular old private citizen Hillary Clinton, I think she's gonna say that you know she's gonna do the same thing that Bill did when he was president.
This is old news.
Why are we hashing the old news?
She does not want to testify under oath about Benghazi.
I want to talk about my thoughts about the housing market, but I also want to talk to the Rush audience.
1800 282882 is the phone phone number.
Let's go to Indianapolis and Dan.
Dan, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Hey, thank you, Mark.
Thank you.
Hey, you hit for my subject today, but I do think that your explanation of uh Obama is willing to do anything, you kind of hit it on the head.
I never thought it in a simplicity manner, but I don't think he wants to do anything about it.
I think he isn't uh yes, I think he is not bothered by the problems that concern most Americans.
And he Okay, I think Dan's having trouble hearing us, but uh I I the point that I was making deals with a comment that I make made earlier in the program, in which I think that the standard measures of success of an American president, the unemployment rate, the growth rate, whether or not we're living within our means, that Obama doesn't care about those things.
I think that he's somebody who's far more interested in transforming the country into a more radical nation.
I think that he w desperately wants to raise taxes significantly on higher income people.
It's the basis for Obamacare.
I think he wants to raise the capital gains tax significantly, and I won't think he wants to raise income taxes significantly, and he wants to expand government.
The stimulus thing was an enormous deal for him.
He came into office and used the excuse of the recession that we were in to radically expand government, and we were told that stimulus is going to be a one-time thing.
Yet government spending didn't drop in year two, year three, or year four.
He wanted to expand the size of government and didn't care whether or not he blew up the deficit, it blew up the deficit and the debt in the same process.
So now we're facing the situation in which we're at the fiscal cliff and everybody says that the economy is going to go into a recession if we have all the tax increases.
I don't think he's motivated by solving problems like that.
I think that he is far more interested in accomplishing other things, and he's the first president we've really had that doesn't look upon basic standards of measurement, the strength of the economy, the growth rate, the unemployment rate, how well the stock market is doing, as things that are, you know, that we judge the president on.
And now that he's in a second term where the performance of the economy is something that can't be held against him, he can't be thrown out of office for it.
He's really untethered here, and that's why it's going to be very hard to make any kind of a deal with him on reducing spending or avoiding the fiscal cliff because I don't think he particularly cares about what the ramifications of going off the cliff are.
Los Angeles and Stephen.
Stephen, it's your turn on EIB with Mark Belling.
Hi, Mark.
Um happy holidays and thanks for everything you do.
Thank you.
Uh a question.
Why do you suppose they make fun of and and call uh Wayne LePier a nut uh for proposing uh police officers in schools, armed officers?
Uh nobody seemed to make any fun of Bill Clinton in in the year two thousand when on the one year anniversary of the combine shooting, he proposed his cops in schools and allocated millions to put police officers in schools.
You know, Stephen, you ask a really, really, really good question.
So when Democrat when Democrats propose to spend money to put government employees in schools to provide security, that's a good thing.
But when the head of the National Rifle Association responds to a terrible instance of violence and he does it, he's mocked and ridiculed, and the entire organization is being put out as a hateful thing.
You're right about that.
And as long as you raise the issue, you know, do you recall any time in Bill Clinton's presidency that he seriously proposed any type of gun control?
I doubt.
The position of Bill Clinton and Wayne Lapierre on guns and school security has a lot more in common than it does in difference, doesn't it?
Policing schools, though.
And where I live in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Unified School District has a full b uh blown police department.
We have something called Los Angeles School Police Department on the web.
It is at LASPD dot com.
And by the way, they are hiring right now is somebody's looking for a job.
This is a police department that has six full divisions.
Four departments.
They are covering everything in the LA Unified School District.
They have canine units.
Uh the uniforms uh are basically the same as the LAPDs, the same black except the inscriptions on it.
Cars are are the same.
Uh I'm assuming Stephen that they're armed.
Yes.
Of course.
They have canine units, the same regular police.
It it it looks like you you you cannot tell unl um unless you you need the inscription on the city.
What Steven's referring to is in the first hour of today's program, I talked about this attempt to just marginalize the NRA and its leader, Lapayer Wayne Lapierre, ridiculing his commentary that occurred after the terrible situation in Connecticut in which he called for getting armed police officers or armed security guards in all of the schools of the United States.
I thought it was outrageous that the NRA was being accused of irresponsibility here and proposing something that was nutty.
Now Stevens pointing out that this is the norm in Los Angeles.
Clinton himself proposed it.
If it's so doggone nutty, how come nobody's objecting to the fact that it's done in many communities?
I think what you've had here in this whole sickening period since the terrible shooting in Connecticut is a lot of people have used this as an opportunity to take shots at an organization that basically backs Republicans, and I think that's what the attacks on the NRA are all about.
Mark Bellingham for Rush.
Does anybody mix me up with Mark Stein?
There are a lot of Marks who sit in who sit in for rush.
Anyway, apparently uh Stein went after Piers Morgan of CNN on the program yesterday.
I was traveling and didn't have an opportunity to hear it.
He's getting a lot of news coverage off of this thing.
I went after Larry King once when I did the show a few years ago.
Nobody paid any attention to that.
Stein is very, very good at drawing attention to the stuff that he does.
He's very, very good at this.
Mark is Mark is an industry unto himself.
All of us have our own approaches and we have our own viewpoints, and none of us are clones of one another.
I think we all come from a conservative perspective, but the take that Rush has on issues is not going to be the same one hundred percent as Mark Stein's or my own or Doug Urbanski's.
We all have different points of view and different things that we try to bring to the table, but we come from the same ideological perspective of being generally conservative on the issues.
I'm mentioning all of that and babbling about it because I want to talk for a minute about housing in the United States.
I don't think everybody agrees with me on this.
But I do believe that housing is in the early stages of a monster recovery.
I do know that a lot of people are deeply worried about what's happening with regard to the finances of our country.
They're terrified about the debt.
Our own Senator from Wisconsin Ron Johnson talks about this a lot.
The re if the government was run on GAAP, uh generally accepted accounting principles, we're really a hundred trillion dollars in debt because we have these incredible unfunded liabilities ten, fifteen, twenty years from now in which we have no way to pay for Social Security and Medicare, then you look at a president of the United States who doesn't seem to care about prosperity, who doesn't seem to care about job creation, who has a hostility to private sector corporations, who doesn't want us to be energy independent.
They're very concerned about that.
And yet they're wondering how we they can make it in the United States.
If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to buy a house.
I think that housing is going to continue to go up.
Now people who listen to my own program in Milwaukee know that I've been harping on this for about two years, that the housing market was bottoming and housing was going to explode.
Lead story today is Wall Street Journal home prices at a milestone.
Growing demand, shrinking supply, boy housing market, tide has changed.
In October, prices went up four point three percent on a year over year basis.
Every measure that you take a look at seems to be improving.
The number of foreclosures that are down, the number of short sales are down, the prices are going up, the number of houses on the market is starting to shrink.
I think what's happened here is we've turned the corner.
I want to make my case as to how housing could possibly prosper and thrive when you have an otherwise lousy economy presided over by Obama.
And I think that this is one area that will do well because of Obama.
Let me make the case for this.
First of all, whenever you do a comparison on a percentage basis, the numbers look really, really good when you're comparing to a period that was really, really bad.
Housing bottomed so badly in 08 and 09 that looking at housing now by comparison, the percentages become real good.
Take a bad Football team.
How many games did the Minnesota Vikings win last year?
I think one or two.
Well, this year they're having a pretty good season.
They're up several hundred percent.
They may or may not make the playoffs, but if you use percentages, it looks like they're thriving because they had a poor season the year the year prior.
Same thing is true with housing.
Because housing has been so depressed.
If you take advantage of getting into the housing market when it is at depressed levels or bouncing off of those levels, the percentages look really, really good.
Secondly, I believe that the re one of the reasons that housing prices are going up is because housing is a leading indicator of inflation.
You can't keep doing what Bernanke and the Fed and Obama have been doing, so recklessly printing money, they're going in there and just inventing money and buying bonds and buying mortgage securities every single month.
This is billions and billions of dollars that are simply being invented.
They're flooding the market with these dollars that they're just creating.
We also have the zero interest rate policy in which interest rates are artificially low and have been for years.
Eventually that is going to lead to inflation.
The only reason we haven't had any inflation yet is the economy is so slow that nobody has enough money to go out and invest anything, so we don't have any growth.
But housing is one of the fixed assets that always inflates when there's inflation.
I believe the chickens are going to come home to roost from the Obama Bernanke policy of trying to paper our way out of the cris this fiscal crisis that we're in by this loose money policy.
They've trashed the dollar and they flooded the market with dollars.
This is going to result eventually, probably in two or three years, in real inflation in the United States.
It's been so long since we've had inflation that people have forgotten what it's like and how bad it can be.
Well, when there is inflation, it means all hard assets go up in value.
Gold is likely to go up, steel is likely to go up, the grains are going to go up.
Anything that people need to buy tend to inflate.
Well, housing is one of those things.
Housing's one of the things that is going to inflate itself.
This is going to create problems.
Housing is going to become unaffordable for a lot of Americans, particularly those that are underemployed, which will be a lot of people because we don't have any growth going on in this country.
What you can do to defend yourself is to at least own the thing that's inflating.
Many people have been arguing for some time to buy gold and silver, and I've been one of them.
A lot of conservatives have been on this for years now, and gold and silver have had a very good decade.
I think housing, coming off of this period in which you had so many foreclosures and such a harsh correction in prices because of the excess that we had.
You are going to see significant appreciation in the price of housing.
I think that the ideal area for someone to invest in would be housing that has the possibility of renting some of it out.
Good neighborhood near a university, that would just seem to me to be golden.
Anyway, I think that the housing market's going to continue to go up.
It's going to continue to go up for some time.
And you're going you've got all of these renters right now that are throwing away thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
You've got people making 45,000 a year that are spending $2,000 a month in rent.
Because rents have gone up so much, they're going to realize that they're throwing away all of their money, they're going to get back into this thing, and they're likely to start doing it when mortgage rates finally start going up a bit.
Anyway, it's my opinion that the inflation Yes, I think people should invest at their own risk.
I don't think we need to create any programs right now to help people get involved in the housing market, and I don't think that we need to have the kind of manipulation that we had with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that created the bubble in the first place by getting people involved in mortgages that they could not afford.
I don't think that we should go and loosen the rules that allowed some people to come up and take buy houses with these interest only deals in which they didn't pay any principal and therefore were shattered when the value of the house went down.
But because all of that did happen, a real harsh bottom came in.
And many people just ran away from the housing market seemingly forever.
Many young people, the people who should be buying a house, because they're the ones that are going to have to pay for baby boomers like me and Snerdley over there, when we get on Social Security and Medicare, they're the ones that are going to have to pay the price of the fiscal recklessness of this generation.
They're the ones that are going to have to deal with the monstrous debt that Barack Obama has rack been racking up.
You need to have you need to have ownership of something, some hard asset.
One of the ways that they're going to have to use, one of the means that they're going to have to use to deal with the likelihood of default is they're going to have to print so much money that the currency is inflated anyway to try to pay down this debt.
Well, when that happens, the things that go up are the hard assets that inflate themselves, and I think that housing is one of them.
So while Obama is doing nothing to encourage private sector investment in America, I think the cost of housing and the affordability of housing is going to become a problem.
One of the ways that you can defend yourself is to get in and take advantage of low prices, low long-term interest rates, and be part of one of the things that inflates.
Unfortunately, most of the people who get this are people who already own homes.
Those millions of Americans who are ranting because they don't trust the market and are losing all of their money in rent, I think are missing out on a golden opportunity to defend themselves against the reckless fiscal and monetary policy of Obama and Bernanke, which eventually is going to create inflation, which will pose all sorts of problems.
At least if you own the thing that's inflating, you can defend yourself from what's about to come.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on housing.
1 800 282 2882 is the telephone number on the Rush Limbaugh program.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
Mark Gulling in for Rush Limbaugh.
The good news or bad news, which is entirely dependent on what you've heard so far today, is that I'll be back tomorrow, tomorrow's open line Friday.
The Rush staff passes along this story.
Abilene, Texas.
Abilene police say a thirty-four-year-old man has been shot and killed by his estranged girlfriend after he barged into her home.
Police found Ernest Gonzalez wounded early Wednesday in the front yard of the woman's home.
He died later at a hospital.
Authorities say Gonzalez tried to break in Christmas night but fled.
He returned hours later, forced open the door and assaulted the woman.
She managed to retrieve a handgun and fired once, hitting them in the left side.
The women's two children were in the home at the time.
You can come up with story after story after story like this, yet you still can't persuade the gun control crowd that sometimes a person having a gun is a good thing and not a bad thing.
Had she not had that gun, I wonder which person would be dead right now.
Let's go to St. Louis, Missouri, and Rick, Rick, you're on EIB with Mark Delling.
You know, um John Bahner really does have an easy solution here if he has the courage to do it.
Um they've already passed the line plan in the uh House and it's uh sits in the Senate, all they have to do is vote on it.
If he has the courage to tell the president of the United States that that is the bottom line.
We're not gonna take anything else.
You can sign today.
We won't go over the fiscal cliff, or you can sign uh a month from now after everyone's got a lot of pain, or you can sign after the death death ceiling is uh has been uh uh overcome and there's no more money.
But that's it.
That's the bottom line.
He's gotta be courageous, he's gotta get some punishment by you and Rush behind him.
But that's the only place he's got.
And uh plan is I I think your point is interesting.
You the they had he Bahner had this idea of going forward with this plan B, which essentially would have said raise taxes on people a million and up, raise taxes on nobody below that level, and let's deal with spending later on.
And a lot of people didn't like the plan because they felt Boehner was giving away too much.
My point is is that I think right now it doesn't really matter what Speaker Boehner proposes, and I'm one of the few people out there who has a little bit of sympathy for his position, because I do think, while I think that Boehner has offered already too much, I do think that Speaker Boehner sincerely cares about our country and sincerely wants to solve this problem and would like to move forward.
I I just think that whatever he proposes, though, is irrelevant because it the president isn't going to agree to anything.
When you consider that a lot of Republicans think that Boehner shouldn't have agreed to any tax increase without spending cuts, and that's what Plan B, which he couldn't get through, was going to do.
Yet Obama was laughing plan B out.
I think if the Republicans came back and said six hundred thousand dollars it up, we'll raise taxes on Obama, still going to reject that because I don't think that he wants to agree to anything.
I think that this is all part of his attempt to force this issue into January.
He thinks that the Republicans are going to get all sorts of blame for this.
And what I would do or I the Republicans would be to stand up and try to put this thing on Obama saying he hasn't offered a serious plan to move our move our country forward.
He isn't trying to solve the problem.
They may not win that argument, but I think that they should be less concerned about winning the argument than going out there and trying to beg a guy to make a deal with them when that guy I think just doesn't want to deal.
Thank you for the call, Rick.
Let's go to Cold at Chester, Connecticut.
Bill, it's your turn on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, Mark.
Thanks for my call taking my call.
Thank you.
I'm calling in reference to um briefly your your your discussion on um Hillary Clinton, Benghazi, and uh Fast and Furious.
We're never gonna find out the real truth regarding that.
This administration is the most corrupt administration that we've ever seen in our lifetime.
And it's not gonna get any better.
We've already seen what four years brought.
And another four years, God only knows what's gonna happen.
There's a lot of pessimistics.
There's a lot of pest.
Thank you for the call.
There's a lot of pessimism out there from people who really fear what's going to happen.
Now here is an interesting question that we're never going to get to the bottom of Benghazi.
I actually disagree with that.
I think we're going to learn everything about Benghazi.
It's just a matter of when it happens.
Cover-ups almost never work.
The timeline, though, when you find everything out, that's a little bit dicey.
What I think Hillary Clinton doesn't want to do is talk under oath about Benghazi.
Because the one thing that gets government officials in trouble in situations like this is when they lie under oath.
I think she doesn't want to talk about who it was that gave her the input not to have more security there.
And I don't think that she wants to talk about who it was that didn't want us to provide military assistance when our people were under fire there.
I think she doesn't want to talk about that either because she's the person who is behind that, or she'd be throwing Obama under the bus, and she doesn't want to do either of those two things because she still would like to run for president in 2016.
But eventually the story is going to come out, and here's why.
As Barack Obama fades toward irrelevancy and every president in his final term becomes irrelevant, and people start looking out for themselves, the narrative will come out.
Bob Woodward will write his book, a few people will be talking, and we'll get to the bottom of this and we'll find out what the answers are.
Whether or not anybody cares is another question.
But in the interim, I sure think it's fascinating that the Secretary of State of the United States of America is right now impossible to find.
I'm Mark Belling sitting in for Rush Limbaugh.
I'm Mark Belling.
Do we have any sympathy for David Gregory?
The host of Meet Snerdley says no, the host of Meet the Press, they're actually investigating for violating weapons laws in Washington because he displayed this gun magazine, which is an ammunition holder on national television.
You're not allowed to possess it.
