Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists on across the fruited plain.
Here we are, back at it, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB golden microphone, firmly ensconced right behind it.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program as always, 800-282-2882.
The email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know that I am very reluctant to talk about myself, since most everybody else does.
I try to uh mollify the stick to the issues crowd and just stick to the issues.
But today I'm the issues.
Uh today I am the news.
Uh with my appearance on Fox News Sunday yesterday morning, a full 15 minutes uninterrupted.
Well, you should have seen this place yesterday.
I walk in here.
They asked me to get here an hour early to test the audio, because I know how these things work.
I got here two hours early.
So I rolled in here at 7 o'clock, and it looked like a bomb had gone off in here.
Both back doors were off their hinges.
I have wires coming out of both back doors.
The air conditioning was off.
I walk in here for 15 minutes.
There are eight people.
There must have been an array of lights that would light up Wrigley Field in here and monitors all over the place.
It did not, it's no big deal.
They were great.
They always are.
These uh the crew that that Fox sends here.
It's just that television just amazes me.
All of that for 15 minutes.
Well, no for I would have done it no matter who the guest was, snerdly.
Snertling, eh, would have had to do it right.
That's what TV has to do.
Anyway, uh normally on something like this, I'll be honest with you, I'd come in here and I wouldn't even talk about it because it was yesterday's news, and if you saw it, you saw it.
If you didn't, you didn't, and it's uh time to move on.
But it actually provides uh, you know what we do here, we play audio sound bites and I react to them.
And it's very rare that I get to react to me.
Other people get to do that, but I never do.
So I'm gonna react to myself as a newsmaker here, and I'm gonna criticize what I well, that may be a stretch, but I'm gonna point out what could have been better.
Uh what I really meant, and because it was very constrained.
I mean, I normally don't even get into a topic in the first 15 minutes, and here they wanted to do six of them in 15 minutes.
So it was rat tat tat tat tat.
And it was uh in some cases brief, and the opportunity to extrapolate or expand just wasn't uh wasn't permitted by time.
So playing the sound bites here and reacting to myself as a newsmaker provides uh abundant opportunity, and a lot of it is relevant to exactly what is the news today.
So let's just get to it.
Um first was the question that Chris Wallace asked about all the protests going on over the the race protests that are taking place.
His uh his questions we're delighted to have you.
Let's start with the protests across the country in the wake of the grand jury decisions, not to indict these police officers.
Do you think that these demonstrators have a legitimate beef with police and with prosecutors?
There is a grievance politics uh in this country that's tearing the country apart, Chris.
Uh I think what happened in the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, and what happened here in Staten Island does not warrant this because the grand jury rendered a correct verdict in Ferguson.
New York is a little bit different, but this would have happened, I think, no matter what the grand jury in Ferguson said.
I think the the real thing to note here is that this turned the country apart.
It is literally ripping our fabric apart.
And the president of the United States, one thing about him, he's a great orator.
You put the right words on the teleprompter, and this man can deliver soaring, inspiring rhetoric.
I ask you to remember his 2008 campaign in front of the the styrofoam columns at Denver during a convention speech.
If he wants to, he can inspire.
And I think it's called for in this situation.
This is this is not good for the country, what's happening here, because it isn't, I don't think, full-fledged legitimate.
It's not based on real world grievance.
It's grievance that's being amplified And made up.
And the president, if you ask me, could do a lot to stop this by telling people to respect the criminal justice system.
There's nothing here that's that's designed as they would have you believe to purposely get it wrong, to purposely screw people.
It's not the case.
And presidents are supposed to be uplifting.
And they're certainly supposed to be unifying, and that's why Obama was elected.
If you go back to his campaign of 2008, what was it about Obama that everybody found so appealing?
Well, one was his race, because that alone was going to say so much about us.
We elected a brat a black president.
Why, wow, what a huge step our country had made beyond the racial divide.
Added to that, Obama was portrayed as a great unifier.
Now, you and I know that he wasn't any of that, but I'm but a lot of people at that time didn't.
A lot of people at the time hoped Barack Obama was the greatest thing that ever happened to politics.
And they thought he was.
We'd never had anybody like this before, that the world was fawning all over, and people bought into the myth that was portrayed about Obama by his own people.
That he's a great unifier, that he was uplifting and inspiring, and the politics of division that had popularized this country was going to be a thing of the past.
And it's going to change Washington.
And all that's happened is it has gotten worse.
And now the president comes out and he throws fuel on this rage.
And he's doing this by design.
All of this is being done on purpose.
The president's got a chip on his shoulder, and the mayor of New York last week gave up the ghost on this, if I can use that term, by admitting that our country has been fatally flawed since its founding.
Now he didn't mention the flaw, but everybody knows what it was.
It was slavery and the itinerant racism attached to it.
And both he and Obama are running around saying nothing's been done.
The protesters, there hasn't been any progress.
That's absurd.
But the the the country roiling, all of these protests, the country dividing.
There are people today who think race relations, pulling data's out, race relations in this country are worse than they've ever been.
They're probably, they may be.
Well, and see that can't possibly be true.
We've come a long way.
And nobody is out saying this.
Nobody's trying to tamp this down.
Now, Obama may think, well, if I try to tamp it down, I'm being insensitive to the protesters.
This isn't good for anybody except the few who are profiting from it.
And I mean profiting from it in two ways power and money.
And of course, those are two powers that are hard to contend with, but nevertheless, the policy that is being engaged in here is destroying, literally destroying the fabric of our country.
It's dispiriting people, and it's about hope and change.
It's taking hope out of all kinds of people.
Who don't want to live like this, who don't want this to be what America is becoming or has become.
They don't want to believe it, they don't want it to be.
And presidents have extraordinary power to shape public opinion, to bend people, to inspire, to uplift.
I mean, one of the things about Reagan, if you take away everything that happened with Reagan policy-wise, that's the thing that Reagan did.
I I'll never forget back in those days, back during the time Reagan was president, the media'd run around and ask people about Reagan, and without fail, you would hear nine out of ten times it makes me feel better about my country.
Makes me feel better about myself.
But there are people who think that that is an insensitive attitude, that there's nothing to feel good about regarding America.
Because America is so flawed, and I think people need to ask themselves who benefits from all this division, who profits from it.
And I don't, I'm not talking about Al Sharpton here.
Not Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, those relics.
I'm not talking about them.
I'm who profits.
What political party, for example, but not r just respected and restricted to them, what who benefits from all this division?
Who benefits from all this rage and anger?
And believe me, there are people that do.
And I think it's sick.
I think it's unnecessary.
And I think that if there were people that really cared, really cared, they'd be doing everything they can to uplift and stop this, and especially since so much of this is based on things that aren't even true.
When you're talking about Ferguson, Missouri.
Next question from Chris Wallace.
I mean, one of the things that critics and some of the demonstrators cite, for instance, black drivers who are stopped for a traffic stop are three times likely to be searched as white drivers.
So what do you think of them as this perception of unfairness in the criminal justice system?
I don't think that things are rosy and perfect in America, but to say that they're no better, as the mayor of New York said, it's absurd.
We've made all kinds of efforts to improve race relations in this country.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act, affirmative action, we have been over backwards.
Is it all perfect?
No, it's not.
But there's no acknowledgment of any of the progress, Chris.
If you listen to these people, the president, the mayor of New York, you would think it's 200 years ago.
You would think we haven't even started working on these problems, and that's not true.
And I think for the president to promote this division, as he just did in that clip that you said, and mischaracterize what happened here.
He's talking in large part about Ferguson and what he described did not happen in Ferguson.
And what most of the media is describing did not happen in Ferguson, Missouri.
There was no hands up, don't shoot.
It didn't happen.
And that's tearing this country apart.
We have people to whom the truth is relative.
And they're using whatever power they have to try to redefine the truth for the advancement of their own political agenda.
And it's just not productive.
And the president taking sides in this in a way that further divides the country, I find reprehensible and very unfortunate.
But purposeful.
It's being done purpose.
Now there's one thing you're missing here, folks.
It's a key element when you're doing television.
There's one thing you're missing, and that's how hot I looked.
And that just doesn't come across on the radio.
But it is undeniable.
And as much, you know, one of the points I've always made, I had my own TV show, and for every comment I got about whatever I said, there were five or six about my tie.
Or some other aspect of my appearance.
Television is just that.
The lasting thing, the lasting memory people have of television is what things look like.
And I looked hot yesterday.
And you aren't getting that as part of this replay here on the radio.
So you just have to imagine it.
But it was there.
But seriously.
Well, the I was snurtly is uh is shouting at me that the last soundbite uh just bore a hole right through their their entire purpose and their and their protest.
And uh the I don't know, this it just really troubles me.
We have really, when I say meant over backwards, and I'm talking about the American people, policy, law.
You name it, from affirmative action to admissions policy to changing requirements to be a cop or to be a firefighter or to be in the middle, whatever.
We have gone out of our way to accommodate the grievances of every minority that pops up out there.
And in the back of everybody's mind, or maybe at the forefront of everybody's mind is the knowledge that we've done that.
And it gets really frustrating.
You go out of your way and you try to accommodate, you try to help, and none of it's appreciated.
There's no thanks, there's no appreciation, they're just demands for more amidst claims that nothing's been done.
And at times like this, it's it it calls for a reasoned voice that is automatically respected.
That voice is the president.
He's respected because of the office he holds.
And some presidents command even more respect beyond what is granted them simply by holding the office.
And Obama did have that at one time, and he squandered it now.
He's just a pure partisan.
The thing is he always was, But a lot of people have voted for him.
That's the last thing they thought that he was.
And so now the truth is revealing itself, and people are seeing that no matter what progress is made, it's never enough.
It's not good enough.
And it's a great teachable moment about liberalism.
Because that is liberalism.
It's never enough, no matter what happens, no matter what they get based on what grievance, it's never enough.
But the whole notion of grievance politics is destructive in the first place because those bandying about and announcing their grievance, yelling about it and making demands are never satisfied, no matter what happens.
And if you take it down just to a base, you ever tried to be just nice to people, and it ends up being thrown back in your face.
And I'm just talking about an individual at work, at home, anywhere.
Just you go out of your way to be nice, and it still doesn't matter?
Imagine a nation feeling that kind of frustration.
And then that frustration descends into an attitude of futility.
Well, I guess there's nothing we can do about it.
Being nice doesn't fix it, changing policy doesn't fix it.
And you end up with a population at large that is to one degree or another depressed, down in the dumps, frustrated, what have you.
And after a while, that is going to manifest itself into other attitudes of defiance.
Such as, what more do you want?
My God, what we've done everything in the world.
Can't you be happy?
And the real question is not you want to be happy.
Anyway, I can take a break here, my friends.
We will continue with all this.
My appearance of Fox News Sunday, right after this.
Don't go away.
So I just got an email.
Hey, Rush, you did look great, but it wasn't you.
That's what great lighting can do.
And great lighting takes time.
That's why the crew was there for so long.
I love all of you in the audience.
Great to have you back.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
One of the things I wanted to say to Chris Wallace, and I just I just couldn't remember everything I wanted to say about this grievance business.
It leads to, and we are fully enmeshed in it now, a victim and victimology culture.
I am 63 years old, and for all of my adult life, the same people have been whining and complaining about the same things.
It's only gotten more intense.
The level of dissatisfaction has risen no matter the efforts that have been made to address these grievances or complaints.
For my entire adult life, my view is, as I have, and I've paid attention, like all of you have, I have looked at various parts of this country turnover backwards, bend over backwards, attempting to respond to and resolve and placate those who come across and come up with all these grievances.
And for my entire life, they've had the same grievances.
Civil rights coalition, the feminists, the unions, you name it, the anti-war crowd, the environmentalist wackos, they've all got the same grievance that they had 60 years ago, 50 years ago.
And they're never happy.
No matter what is done to please them, no matter what policy changes have been implemented, they are always angry, they are always outraged, they are always miserable, and they demand that we and everybody else be outraged and miserable with them.
Now it could well be a psychological thing, but even so, there's no question in my mind that it is political, primarily.
It has political objectives, there is politically devised strategy behind it, and it all has as one objective.
All these different groups with all of their grievances have one objective, and that's tearing down this country and transforming it.
And the thing that we've done now, we've elected somebody who has this frame of mind.
We have elected somebody president who wants to do all this, who carries these grievances.
I just the president just the other day, what did he say that we uh this country's Deeply rooted in racism.
Well, okay, fine.
That's not helpful.
A, everybody knows that.
What the president is saying is we have made any progress.
Now he did give a bit of a P into it, but not nearly enough to overcome the original claim that we're deeply rooted in racism, and implication clear that we haven't done nearly enough.
And that simply isn't true.
Particularly when it is patently obvious that no matter what is done, it doesn't even matter.
There's no gratitude, there's no thanks, the same complaints, the same whining, and now we just keep creating more and more victims.
And you know what happens with that?
You remember the days where people said, no, no, I refuse to play the victim.
I am not going to play the victim.
It was an it was a uh an attitude that was scorned to be a victim today.
It's a badge of honor to be a victim.
And we're back, El Rushbow, your guiding light behind the golden EIB microphone, brand new wicked broadcast excellence.
Your phone calls coming up as they always are, 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Yeah, it used to be that it was uh a matter of scorn to be a victim.
Nobody wanted to be a victim because victims whined and they complained and uh blamed others for their plight.
It uh it was a stigma.
And and that's why not that long ago you would probably remember people running around refusing to play the victim.
In fact, it was almost valorous to not be the victim.
But today it's just exact opposite.
To be a victim is to be a hero.
To be a victim is to be some sort of massive fighter for justice and integrity.
And I'll tell you what happens, and we're living it, we're right in the middle of it.
I don't care.
Take your favorite group, pick any group you want that has become fully victimized.
They are fully enmeshed in victimology, and where they live is the victimhood.
And it's gotten to the point now where anything that is said, contrary to the contentions made by the victims, is considered to be an attack on the victims.
The victims in our culture I also call the offended.
And there are people that are offended by you name it, secondhand smoke, they're offended by words they hear on radio TV, whatever, they're everywhere.
And if you if you don't bow down and try to accommodate every little whining moaning complaint, then you are judged to be attacking them.
This manifests itself number you know our biggest victim in the country is right now is Barack Obama.
And he plays it to the hilt.
He's the biggest victim we've got.
And if there's any criticism of Barack Obama, why it is considered to be an attack, and is considered to be an attack rooted in racism, and all of this is designed to shut down any opposition, legitimate or otherwise.
It's designed to shut down disagreement, shut down debate, you name it.
It's designed to intimidate people into shutting up, getting out of the way, and let victims and the offended overrun whatever it is they demand be changed.
And we're living right in the middle of it.
And and president himself, he was on BET, Black Entertainment Network.
And he effectively labeled the United States as being a country of racists and having deep roots in racism.
He said there's something deeply rooted in our society.
It's deeply rooted in our history.
And when you're dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or by wait a minute, sir.
You've been here six years.
You're the first African American president.
You are historic, and you're talking as though you haven't been on the scene yet.
Six years, and what do you have to show for doing anything about any of this?
It's what presidents do.
Deal with problems.
Improve the country, unite people, bring them together, move everybody forward, not divide them.
I I really think this is extremely harmful.
And it's getting worse by the day.
In Ferguson, do you know what happened in Ferguson's, I guess there's a story at National Review Online today.
The Justice Department went into Ferguson, Missouri, ostensibly to have a meeting with community leaders to try to come up with uh solutions to various problems.
And that was just a cover for what really went on.
The mayor got fooled by it, but uh some people that were in these meetings have told National Review Online what really happened in there was that the Justice Department was asking attendees if they know how to recognize the signs of white privilege, and if they know how to deal with white privilege.
And if they didn't know how to recognize the signs, the Justice Department told them what the signs of white privilege are, how you can spot it.
And the Department of Justice then gave them guidelines on how to behave and how to react to white privilege.
So what was everybody thought the DOJ going in there trying to mollify things and get answers, dig deep and get to the truth.
They were going in throwing gasoline on the flames.
Hoping for a bigger fire, by telling the red, yeah, you guys got all kinds of white privilege going on here, Ferguson, and let me tell you how to spot it.
Eric Eric Holder's Justice Department.
This is not unifying, it's not problem solving, it's exacerbating, and it's using people.
And it is it is encouraging anger.
It's promoting anger and division and all these things, and it's keeping primarily all these people, Democrat voters in perpetuity is the primary objective of this.
This country is over 230 years old.
And this past weekend, we've had to listen to people all over the place, act as though not one thing has even been tried to deal with this root racism plaguing America.
And that simply isn't the case.
Because you see, the victims in this current culture can never be wrong.
The offended, the victims are always right, and if you do not cowtout to it, you are considered to be attacking them.
And attacking a victim, boy, that's just mean.
Because victims by definition are helpless and poor and powerless, and boy, it really be a mean person to attack a victim.
Did you see where is it?
Did I get this?
Along the same lines.
This is from the Washington Free Beacon.
Here's the headline.
Iran instructs U.S. stop the racist crackdown on blacks.
Iran lashed out at the United States and the Obama regime yesterday, demanding that America immediately take action to end its racist, inhumane crackdown on blacks and other minorities, according to a statement by Iran's foreign ministry, as the controversy over the deaths of the gentle giant and Eric Garner continues to royal the country, Iran accused America of hypocrisy on the human rights front and of being a racist nation.
You know, sometimes I meant I mentioned this in the uh in the 2012 presidential campaigns.
I can't tell a difference sometimes between the Iranian regime and the Democrat Party.
You know, I listened to the Iranian, I listened to that uh he's gone now, but uh in his ad running around talking about America sounded just like John Kerry talking about America.
Ahmedini Zad ripping into America sounded just like the way Dick Durbin does it.
You couldn't tell a difference.
The Iranians and the Democrats, and now look, the Iranians accusing us, the United States, of inherent inhumane racism and demanding that we do something about it.
These are the people that behave toward women according to Sharia law, which means the last thing you want to be in Iran is a woman.
Just amazing.
You can't tell the difference.
If you if you didn't put an identifier before some of these phrases, you couldn't tell the difference between an Iranian official and a member of the Democrat Party.
All right, back to the soundbites of Fox News Sunday.
Next question from Quis Rollis.
You now say, Mr. Limbaugh, Eric Garner was not choked, that it wasn't a chokehold.
Question I have, and I ask this with all due respect, we're friends.
What are you talking about?
It's not a chokehold.
I'm listening to experts in the police departments around the country that I know tell me it's not a chokehold.
I'm listening to certain things I've read in the media, uh, quoting police officials and those who train police saying that this was not a chokehold.
It might have been carotid restriction, but it was not a chokehold.
But Chris, none of this, this all misses the point.
What was Eric Garner doing?
He was selling cigarettes, loose cigarettes.
And the police in New York, because they're so eager for tax collection.
What is being done here with regard to taxes and the state's desire to collect them no matter what?
How many cops were descended on that situation?
For cigarettes, how many people smoking marijuana did the cops pass by and ignore on the way to Eric Garner?
You've got $13 a carton, uh, $13 a pack in New York City, over $6 of that as taxes, and the authorities are telling the cops you go out and you stop that because they're so intent on collecting tax revenue.
I think the real outrage here is that an American died while the state is enforcing tax collection on cigarettes.
This is just absurd.
And it, you know, people talk about the left, they want a big state, they want a powerful state.
Well, here it is.
You've got to take all of it.
If you want a powerful state, there's your police force acting on demands of the authorities to go out and make sure that every dime of tax is collected, particularly from tobacco.
Look how we stigmatize tobacco to the point now that it's so despised and reviled that a guy loses his life selling single cigarettes in New York City.
It's absurd.
It really is.
When you stop and think about a black market because they've taxed cigarettes as an addictive product, it's an addictive substance.
Cigarettes are taxed so high that the prime primary number of people to smoke them can't afford them.
Ergo, you got a black market.
Eric Garner is in the black market trying to eke out a living selling loose cigarettes.
The guy that owns the store where Eric Garner was camped out, call a cops.
Hey, there's a guy here selling illegal cigarettes, he's getting in the way of my business.
Understandable complaint.
Five or six cops ultimately show up to get this guy.
Now, I'm not denying he resisted arrest, and that is a primary factor, what happened to him.
But what was the offense that sent the cops there in the first place?
Taxes.
Confiscatory taxes on cigarettes.
The cops don't just show up on their own.
The cops are assigned things to do, crimes to seek, punishment to meet out, and they're given marching orders.
They're just not rogue.
Hey, look at that.
We hear guys selling cigarettes illegally on the street.
We've I mean they know to do that if they run into it.
But these people are under orders because it's a big deal.
New York City's broke, New York State's broke.
And how terrible is it that an American is dead.
And what started it all was the fact that he was selling illegal cigarettes on a sidewalk in New York City.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Well, CNN just cannot let go of this Bill Cosby thing.
They just can't let it go.
Now the latest is 21 women.
They had three on the air hugging each other.
Well, women that never knew Egypt.
Now it's up to 21.
You know, they say Bill Clinton was the first black president.
He's also the first white Bill Cosby.
You know, let them let them look at that angle of it at some point.
Okay, back now to Fox News Sunday.
Now let's get to the Washington political scene.
Many people think this the real meat of the program.
Chris Wallace said, one of the reasons that we wanted to talk to you is because recently you've been talking about criticism, you've been criticizing Fox News for some of the commentary here that says the Republicans in Congress shouldn't shut down the government Over their opposition to the executive action on immigration that the president took.
First of all, what's wrong with the Republican plan not to shut down the government?
And what would you do?
Now, folks, you've heard all this.
This is a the you've heard of it.
This is why they wanted me on.
But I'm going to add something to this that I didn't even think of until after the program yesterday.
Because it A, it isn't a government shutdown.
They shut down what, 15, 10 percent of it?
It's not a government shutdown.
We're losing the language.
The government keeps running.
Welfare checks keep going out.
People that depend on the government get government services.
It's not a shutdown.
Say what it is.
It's a diversion and it's a trick.
I know time is short.
Let me cut to the chase here.
2010, Republican landslide win.
Democrat landslide loss.
Ditto 2014.
The Democrats have been shellacked in two recent elections, and the Republicans are running around like a poll saying that the American people are not going to like them if they shut down the government.
It's absurd.
Barack Obama's approvals in the 30s.
This isn't about a government shutdown.
This is about two elections in which the people of this country are begging the Republican people to stop this man.
And, ladies and gentlemen, I mentioned this too.
We had to edit some of this for time.
It's what the 2012 presidential race.
Romney lost that race while winning the vast majority of independence.
That's another trick that's played.
You Republicans, you better win the independence, you don't have a chance.
Well, he went out, he campaigned for the independence, all right, and he got the vast majority of them, but four million of his own voters stayed home.
Four million.
Four million Republicans stayed home.
The people that vote Republican are tired of the Republican Party not listening.
And this stupid hiding behind a poll that says they're going to be hated and blamed if they shut down the government.
What matters more?
An election, two elections, or some poll.
But what I wanted to add to this, what is a poll?
It's nothing but an expression of public opinion at the time.
It's not etched in stone.
It's not one of the Ten Commandments.
Public opinion can change.
If you make an effort, you can change public opinion.
The Republicans go out and do exactly what I've done.
Hey, they're lying to you.
This isn't a government shutdown.
We are not shutting down the government.
The government's going to keep running.
The things that shut down are going to be shut down by the president, not us.
But we simply are not going to allow the president to violate the Constitution.
We are not going to support the president in this executive amnesty that he is engaging in.
But we're, but they're not doing that.
Instead, they're hiding behind this poll.
They're hiding behind you may what I mean, it it almost is wimpish.
Well, you know what?
We know that you're right, but look, we'll get blamed again for shutting down the government.
And and so we can't the problem is they don't want to.
Here's the next bite.
This is a sum it up in the next bite, uh, which pretty much says where I was going to go to the state.
Does that not matter?
Well, wait, wait.
You keep talking polls to me, and I've got the essence of a poll is an election, and I've got two of them.
And we would have won the White House in 2012 if four million Republicans hadn't stayed home.
I think the shutdown's a trick.
You know what?
Here's what it really means, Chris.
The Republicans want what Obama wants on immigration.
And they are using the government shutdown as an excuse to not stop him.
Because the truth of the matter is they agree with it.
Romney agrees with it, Jeb Bush agrees with it, Chamber of Commerce agrees with it.
Obviously, the Republican establishment doesn't want to stop Obama on emigration.
That's what this means.
You can't tell me that a political party that's just won two landslides, and they're big.
2010, the Democrats lost 700 seats.
This time around they lost the Senate.
Republican, two Democrats are running around openly saying Obamacare was a mistake.
The Democrats, every senator, every Democrat senator that voted for Obamacare is gone.
Defeated.
There's not a single Democrat Senator voted for it left.
Well, the the ones that were up for election loss.
I mean, there is the idea that the American people are going to get mad at the people they're voting for.
The idea the American people are going to blame the people they have been electing to stop this if they stop it.
It's an insult to our intelligence.
So what it has to mean is, and we know it.
Romney may have missed this.
Romney said the Republicans need to swallow hard and go all in for comprehensive immigration reform.
And not just five million, but every one of them, and had Obama offered to pass.
And Jeb Bush wants to do the same.
It's clear with the Republican Party.
They don't want to stop this.
And they're hoping that you will be sympathetic when they say, well, the American people will blame us and we'll destroy everything that we've gained here by winning if we shut down the government.
No, you're going to do that by not doing what you've been elected to do.
That's how you're going to end up losing again.
Look at this government shutdown business is not just about executive amnesty.
It's also about the budget.
Normally a boring subject, but it's got to be explained.
They're using the same excuse to let the Democrats write next year's budget.
