Time Text
By the way, Hillary just spoke today at this thing in New York, didn't say a word about the emails.
We're still in the nineties, folks.
We're still in the nineties.
All right, let's move on now to the rest of the world.
Do a little bit of a news digest here.
I know how Putin killed Boris Nemsov.
Not suggesting that anybody from Russia's going to contact me and I'm explaining to them.
But here's what I think happened.
Nemsoff is this critic of Putin.
There's a lot of uneasiness in Russia because the economy there stinks and the decline in the price of oil has really threatened their economy.
Some think that Putin is wasting way too much time messing around with Ukraine.
There is no democracy.
The opposition movement has gotten stronger, and suddenly, Nemtsov, in a very public place, not far from the Kremlin, had just shot and killed.
Putin is vowing to get to the bottom of this.
So obviously, if he was behind it, his fingerprints can't be seen on it, but of course he was behind it.
This is Vladimir Putin.
It's not a coincidence that another critic of the regime is just disappeared.
What I think they did is they outsourced this contract to Chechnya.
The leader of Chechnya is Ramzin Katarov.
He is an ally of Putin.
Putin has allowed him to do essentially whatever he feels as though he needs to do in Chechnya to put down the Muslim insurgents there.
The first couple of people that have been arrested, I think they have five that are detained, two that have been arrested, both have Chechnyan connections.
So the word gets filtered down through about six layers.
Putin tells a supporter who tells a supporter who tells a supporter, and that word eventually gets to Chechnya, that we need to have somebody take care of Boris Nemtsov.
The people who did it are probably 17 layers removed from Vladimir Putin.
So they'll get to the bottom of who pulled the trigger, and they might even find one person higher up who did the ordering, but they'll never ever solve this because the whole point is that it not be solved.
President Obama, when he came into office, I think had this belief that he could work with people like Putin, work like the mullahs of it with Iran, work with the leaders of the international terror movement because he was going sending out the signals that he wasn't W. Bush.
He was somebody that was open to their grievances.
Even in his first term, he made the comment to Putin, you know, I'll have a lot of flexibility in my second term, winking at Vlad, that they would be able to deal with one another and he'd be able to be flexible.
He misreads everyone.
People like Putin, Putin is exactly what he appears to be.
Putin is someone who aspires to dictatorship and will kill anyone who gets in his way.
And I think that's why Nemsov went down.
Let me turn my attention to another story.
Since I only get a crack at doing the Rush program once every few months or so, unlike Rush who has to comment on the news events of the day, I figure I can take anything that happened in the last three months and be able to jump on it.
Netanyahu and his address, the contrasts between Netanyahu demanding that we confront the Iranian nuclear threat and Obama posing as Neville Chamberlain, saying, Well, we can make a deal, don't worry about it.
There are some on our side, and when I say our, I mean conservative, who are not big on any type of internationalism.
They disparage those who speak of a strong America as being neocons.
Rand Paul and his father Ron represent that wing of conservatism.
Ron certainly more than Rand, but they're very dubious and they're very skeptical about us being involved at all in the Middle East or for that matter anywhere else in the world.
There's something to be said for that.
They're not entirely wrong.
I think that America sometimes has tried to act as a traffic cop for the entire world, and we're not in a position to do that.
We should only act on our vital interests are at stake.
But, and this is my giant butt, I think the old rules about isolationism don't apply anymore.
This isn't Robert Taft in the 1950s and it isn't even Vietnam.
What we are talking about now is not whether the United States should manage problems elsewhere in the world, as I think some isolationists and even Obama himself believes, what we're talking about is whether or not we're going to stand by and allow the planet to be destroyed.
Everything is different because of the proliferation of deadly weapons.
Nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, nerve gas.
If Iran develops nukes, if Boko Harem or Islamic state gets its hands on a large stash of deadly chemicals, they have the potential to commit mass slaughter.
Detonating a nuclear bomb, we are still hearing the after effects of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki with those two puny bombs that went off in the 1940s.
The great threat to the world's existence is a nuclear war.
We have so far survived because nuclear weapons have been in the hands of nations that in the end were rational.
Even the Soviet Union was rational.
It was interested in survival.
Nuclear war means you don't survive.
We have forces in the world right now that aren't rational.
They believe that their God wants them to destroy everyone else.
You can't just walk away from threats like that.
You can't just say it's not our job.
Because the existence of human life, and I think that's what we're talking about.
That's the consequence of an all-out attempt by jihadists, radical Muslims, and others to get their way.
If they are willing to do what they have already done, imagine what they would do with nukes.
This is not a prescription for getting involved anywhere with brown troops or saying that we need to go to war with Iran.
It is merely that the stakes on the entire planet are greater now than they've ever been.
And the groups that we are fearful of, the Islamists, I think are more dangerous than conventional enemies.
It's one thing to stare down the Soviet Union with mutually assured destruction.
You nuke us, we'll nuke you, so therefore nobody sends off any nukes.
When you're talking about individuals who believe that their God wants them to die for the cause, it's an entirely new setup.
Boko Harem now is announcing an alliance with Islamic State.
We don't grasp how fast this is happening.
Who even heard of ISIS or ISIL two years ago?
They now hold and control huge sections of Syria, huge sections of Iraq.
Boko Harem is commandeering much of Central Africa.
They've taken hold of portions, excuse me, portions.
Portions of Nigeria.
These are groups that threaten the world.
Thank you.
How come Rush never loses his voice on this show?
I've never I've never.
That was a Marco Rubio movement.
Go to the water and the whole thing.
That never happens to Rush.
Perhaps we know what perhaps we know why Rush is Rush and I'm me.
Yeah, Belling came on the program and he had a cough for a second and drinking water in order to regain his voice.
Well, then that's that's what you can have a fill in here.
Let me resume the incredibly eloquent point that I was making.
Boko Harem, ISIL, Al Qaeda, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, have gained incredible power very, very fast.
Obama keeps calling them the JV squad and keeps referring to this as a fringe group that represents a small number of Muslims.
Well, whatever that number is, it's enough that they've been able to take over sections of entire countries.
And in the case of Syria, a country that's run by a pretty brutal guy.
We can't just pretend that this isn't a real threat.
Furthermore, it's not, as I was saying with a mutually assured destruction comment, where you can simply stare them down because you have people here that are not rational.
Their God is instructing them, they believe, to kill anyone who does not share their own religious view.
I don't think we can just pretend that this isn't a real problem that we have to at some point confront.
I think that the wrong debate is can America get involved in the rest of the world, should we be using ground troops?
Is this our job?
The better question is what is the most effective way we can keep the planet safe?
I think when you put it into those terms, it becomes an easier thing for people to be able to swallow.
I want to talk about my governor.
As I said, I only get to come here every three months, and when I was last year, my governor Scott Walker was one of the 18 million people that was running for president of the United States.
He was down there at the same place in the polls as Bobby Jindal and Mike Pence and John Kasich and Carly Fiorina, and the next thing you know, Rush Limbaugh, the man whose microphone I'm stealing today, talks about Scott Walker for two or three days.
Scott Walker goes to CPAC, Scott Walker gives a speech at Iowa, suddenly he's like the Republican frontrunner for president of the United States.
First of all, why did it happen?
Well, he gave that speech in Iowa.
That helped.
Why is Scott Walker suddenly where he is?
Do you know why?
Well, how did he go from 3% in the polls in January to 18% right now?
How about the fact that your boss talked about him nonstop for three days?
I don't think that you can disconnect that.
People who are influential conservatives are enamored of Walker.
Rush is one of them.
Suddenly here he is.
There his name is on one of the cable channels, signed the right to work legislation.
I want to offer some perspective on this as somebody who's known Scott Walker for 20 years.
And after I do that, I'm going to invite the audience a chance to respond on the whole Walker thing.
Is he the right guy?
Is he the guy?
Have we looked at him enough?
And so on.
But first we're going to break.
My name is Mark Belling, and I'm sitting in for Russian Ball.
You had a Marco Rubio moment.
Was that you or was that Snerdly?
That was Snerdly.
And then he tells me, oh, it's okay, it's real.
The audience loves real moments.
Yeah, just a great highlight.
Another highlight of my broadcasting career.
Scott Walker.
I actually I've known Scott Walker for more than 20 years.
For 17 years I did a TV show in Milwaukee in addition to my radio program.
He was an occasional panelist on that show.
It's when he served in the state legislature, the state assembly, which in Wisconsin is the lower house, served there for a number of years, became the Milwaukee County executive, ran for governor in 2010.
All the controversy of his public employee reforms, survived the recall election, re-elected in 2014, running for president, and suddenly he's at the top of the opinion polls, back and forth between he and Jeb Bush.
Nationaljournal.com story today.
Scott Walker tops survey of conservative activists for 2016.
A new survey of conservative activists show many in the movement see Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as the strongest Republican to take on Hillary Clinton in 2016.
I think there are a lot of conservatives who believe that we need to rally around someone because they're not sold that Jeb Bush is the guy.
They think that Jeb Bush isn't conservative enough, and they're fearful of this whole dynasty thing.
The Republicans can't just keep running Bushes for president.
There are so many other Republicans running, prominent people, strong people.
But if everybody picks their first choice, you're going to end up with a lot of people getting 5% of the vote, Jeb getting 15 to 17 and winning these states.
I think that's part of the process.
Scott Walker, the national view on him is that he got things done and that he doesn't back down.
That's true.
I don't want to make this a but segment, but I do want to give you my perspective on how I see Scott transitioning from controversial governor of Wisconsin, where I'm on the front lines watching it, to national candidate for president and maybe quasi-Republican frontrunner.
Today, Governor Walker signed a bill passed last week by the Wisconsin legislature, making Wisconsin the 25th right to work state in the United States.
Right to work simply means that if you're at a company that is represented by a union, you do not have to join the union and you don't have to pay them union dues.
Half the states now have it, the other half don't.
Walker is taking credit for the fact that he is leading Wisconsin to this role of us becoming the twenty-fifth right to work state, right to work as a concept generally strongly supported by conservatives.
Here's the thing, though.
He didn't want them to pass this bill initially.
He kind of implied during his campaign that he wasn't all that strongly in favor of it, if at all.
When the subject was first brought up, it was brought up by some Republican members of the legislature and by a conservative group that's backed by the Koch brothers.
Walker initially came out and threw as much cold water on it as he possibly could.
He said he felt it was a distraction.
He has implied to many people that he wanted to keep private sector union members on his side, that his fight was not with them, that he was trying to get control of public employee unions because of the amount of money that the state was spending on their benefits, but that he didn't want to pick this fight.
Suddenly, though, when Wisconsin becoming a right to work state looks pretty good for his presidential campaign, Scott's now taking full credit for something that he initially really didn't want to do.
The next thing.
They have this big meeting with the farm leaders in Iowa.
They hold it at this time every year.
He was asked about ethanol.
Scott Walker said that he is in favor of continuing the renewable fuels mandate at least for a while until we can transition.
The renewable fuels mandate is government policy that requires that a certain amount of the gasoline in the United States contain renewable fuels, which is almost always ethanol, a fuel derived from corn.
Not everybody in the United States has to put up with ethanol.
In my part of the country, just about every gas station that you go to gives you gasoline with at least a 10% ethanol blend.
A lot of us, myself included, consider it poison.
In addition to that, it is the worst possible public policy.
Government mandating that the private sector use a certain product that if left to its own devices, the private sector wouldn't touch.
The reason the ethanol mandate is there, and the reason that every president supports it, is because you can't become president of the United States without going through Iowa.
Iowa has the first caucus.
Iowa is a huge corn growing state.
Politically in Iowa, there is tremendous support for ethanol because it creates this massive market for corn and has helped drive up the price of corn.
So if you're going to run for the Republican nomination for president, how do you go into Iowa and say I'm against this ethanol mandate?
Very hard to do so, and almost no one does.
Governor Walker's position as governor of Wisconsin has been that he's opposed to ethanol mandates.
He got rid of a policy that we had in our own state that subsidized ethanol production in Wisconsin.
He stated repeatedly he's against mandates.
But this past weekend in Iowa, there was a change, and he gave the politically acceptable answer in Iowa.
Everybody's going to have to decide for themselves whether or not this is pandering or if it's adapting.
I'm not a political novice.
You have to win an election in order to have power.
And we have suffered greatly over the last eight years.
And we have also seen a lot of conservatives or a lot of Republicans running as conservatives and not governed that way.
If Scott Walker needs to massage certain positions in order to get elected, I think most people grasp that and most people understand that.
On the other hand, I think that there might be an impression here that Scott isn't a politician.
And I think he's clearly demonstrating that he is.
I wish he hadn't said what he said about ethanol in Iowa.
I wish he would have gone in there and said, I'm against the mandate and I know it will harm me politically here.
But tellingly, that's not what he did.
I'm Mark Bellingen for Rush.
you Oh, I have ten more seconds left.
Okay.
I could say again, I'm Mark Belling, I'm in for Rush, and I will expand on that point in just a minute.
How's that?
I do not want to be interpreted as dumping all over Scott Walker's campaign for president because that wasn't my intention.
What I was commenting on is the difficulty that anyone has moving from being a politician in one state to somebody who is able to run a national campaign.
Many of us in Wisconsin are impressed at how good Walker has been at doing that.
He's in the middle of a state budget process in my own state, Wisconsin, very controversial.
He's proposing significant cuts in funding for the University of Wisconsin system.
He's changing the way that we fund public schools in Wisconsin.
The right to work legislation, as I said, was out there.
He's trying to work through what's going to be a very contentious debate over subsidizing no basketball arena in Milwaukee.
He's got all of those things that he's got to deal with, and he has been dealing with them at the same time that he's positioning himself as a national candidate.
The thing that so many people outside of Wisconsin admire about him is that when he was put under fire in Wisconsin, when he first of all took on a group that needed to be taken on, the public employee unions, he took all of their fire and he didn't back down.
Do you know how rare that is among Republicans?
Whether it's for strategy reasons or the position wasn't tenable or they never really believed it.
We've seen National Republicans back down again and again and again.
Whenever the news media gets on a Republican, they're retracting and they're explaining, and Walker had the creates the impression that he doesn't do that.
And he, by and large, has not.
I don't know if he's going to make it to the finish line, but I think that there's a lot of legs here.
And it'll be very interesting to watch it play itself out.
Personally, I'd love to see him be president of the United States.
I don't know how he'll deal on foreign policy issues because he's never had to confront them.
He does have a way about him, however, that's different from most Republicans who have come before him.
He's very very personally self-confident, and I think he has a vision and an idea of what it is that he wants to do.
Anyway, that's my take on Walker, who clearly has gotten more talk early on than any of the other Republicans running.
I don't know if that's going to hold.
I don't know if Ben Carson's going to have his moment.
I don't know if Marco Rubio is going to re-emerge.
Ted Cruz was a darling of conservatives only two years ago.
He's still there.
There is the Rand Paul Wing of the party.
Huckabee might get in.
There's a lot of people that are running.
The candidate that I think is going to have the hardest time laying deep roots is Jeb Bush.
The best known and perhaps everybody's fallback, but I don't find anybody who passionately supports Jeb Bush at all.
1-800-282-2882 is the phone number on the Rush Limbaugh program.
I've thrown a lot out, and it's now time to talk to the callers.
Let's go to Witters, California.
Carolyn, it's your turn of the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Hey, great.
Great to talk to you, Mark.
You've run the bell here with me.
I've been supporting uh Governor Walker for uh several years now.
He first attracted me because of his understanding of what's going on with the unions.
I've been forced to be a union member here in California, whether I like it or not, and I get emails.
Uh uh out here, it's very clear that the unions are the biggest supporters of illegal immigration, and they even union members here can be unemployed, and they still want us to reach out and help people who who are want should be deported, and and we're supposed to do action alerts and support the Do you work for a government employer or in the private sector?
Uh it's uh don't name the comment, don't name the company, but I can't name it.
I I know that, but I'm just asking, are you a government worker or do you work for a private business?
The union is asking, I'll just tell you that.
Okay.
So it's a public employee union.
The reason the reason I ask you the question is I just can't imagine having to pay money to an organization that prattles out all the garbage that I criticize.
But that's what people in unions have to do.
It's one thing to be represented by them, but another to have to have to pay them money.
It's twenty-five states now have laws that state that you at least don't have to give them money, even though they represent you.
Wisconsin becoming the latest.
But I hear from so many people who call my program saying the thing that drives them craziest about the unions is they take their money and then spew out all of this stuff that they disagree with.
And they do it in every state.
My union bragged that it spent millions against Governor Scott Walker.
And you know, I so I send him money.
But it was taking almost fifty dollars a month from me.
Every publication had stuff promoting candidates that I didn't want.
And so uh you know, I was just really upset.
I think uh Governor Walker's got some guts, and as far as Jeb Bush goes, uh not a prayer.
This is not a monarchy, and uh he's very soft almost everything.
Um George Bush was all for this big trans, you know, joining the three countries.
I think that they would really like to eradicate the border completely and uh just throw us into a European Union type thing, which I don't see is is successful.
I just hear again and again and again from so many people that they're looking for an alternative to Jeb Bush, and Walker is the candidate that they've chosen at the moment.
He does also have the fact that he has a track record.
Very hard for any of these people that are running from the Congress to be able to claim that they have a track record of anything because Marco Robbio hasn't had the ability to do anything, nor has Ted Cruz, nor has Rand Paul, because Barack Obama is the president of the United States.
All they can do is object to things.
What the governors have an advantage of is that they have been able to say, I did this, I did that, I did the other thing, and Walker actually has a record of significant accomplishment.
Thank you for the call, Carolyn.
To Tampa, Florida and Ralph.
Ralph, you're on the Rush Limbaugh program with Mark Belling.
Uh I I I I'm here, Ralph.
This is Jim.
Jeb Bush.
Hey, how are you doing, Jim?
Okay, is a joke in here, but I'm not sure that I get it.
Does anybody want to translate it to me?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
I know Jeb Bush when I'm speaking with him.
Oh, you're saying I'm Jeb Bush.
You're saying I'm Jeb Bush.
Now I get where you're coming from.
You're all from Tampa.
Maybe you figure out.
Okay.
I I is there anywhere I could work with this or not.
Where are you going with this, Ralph?
Make your point.
All I want to say is I don't know what you put in Russia's T, the two about T, and you go on today, but but the strategy is not going to work, talking Walker down.
Well, you're actually going to have us talking about him even more.
It's not it's going to backpole, Jeb.
Well, uh oh the he doesn't have the advantage, obviously, of listening to me on a daily basis.
I'm not a fan of Jeb Bush, and on my uh radio program in Milwaukee, I have strongly questioned whether or not this is going to work, this notion of just running Bush after Bush after Bush after Bush after Bush.
My number one goal for 2016 as an American citizen is to try to dig our nation out of the mess that we're in.
And simply winning the election is an important first step, but you also need somebody in there who realizes that you have to fundamentally change things.
Whomever the next president is going to inherit an incredibly dangerous world with our enemies far stronger than anyone can be comfortable with.
He's going to inherit social security that is going to be closer to the brink because of the aging of the baby boom.
He's going to inherit an enormous national budget deficit.
There are going to be a lot of problems that that president's going to have to take on, and merely tweaking around on the margins isn't going to cut it.
And the fear that I think a lot of people have is that if you elect the wrong Republican president, we're going to perhaps stop the bleeding, but we're not going to fix the damage that's done.
We're not going to make change.
What Walker represents is somebody who saw a problem and he inherited a mess in my state, Wisconsin, and he took proactive action to correct it, and that's what people are looking for in a president.
In commenting on Walker, I'm trying to provide a little bit of insight that Scott Walker is somebody who is trying to adapt what he has done in Wisconsin to a national platform.
The information that I presented is factual.
He did flip-flop over the weekend on the issue of renewable fuel mandates, and he is taking credit for right to work legislation that he didn't want to have passed.
That's not a knock.
It's simply factual.
It tells me politically, he's shrewd enough to recognize which issues are going to work for him and which ones are not.
If people see it as criticism, so be it.
There are many people in Wisconsin right now on the conservative side who are concerned that Walker's presidential ambitions are affecting his governing of the state.
The thing that he keeps getting, though, that aids him is we have so many lunatics in Wisconsin that just do nothing but play into Walker's hands.
Every time Walker and Wisconsin Republicans try to do something that changes current public policy.
You get this crowd from Madison, Wisconsin showing up at the Capitol, yelling, screaming, wailing like banshees, claiming Walker is the Antichrist, say we're turning back the clock, going to the Stone Age.
Walker stands his ground.
The Republicans pass the bill, and it makes Walker look strong.
It's been his ace in the hole from the very beginning.
The people who have tried to destroy him, the people who tried to recall him from office because of his public employee union reforms of his first term.
Those are the people who have made him.
There's almost an obsession by his critics in Wisconsin with Walker.
The title of his book is Unintimidated.
Well, that's the image he's created in America, but he wouldn't have been able to do it were it not for the fact that people did try to intimidate him.
As for those of us who are conservatives in Wisconsin, Walker, he walk, we have had Walker's back now for four years.
When they tried when he proposed his public employee reforms, he was able to marshal the support of just about every conservative and Republican in the state.
Same thing when they tried to recall him from office in 2012 and in his reelection campaign here in 2014.
There's a high level of loyalty to him.
There is this concern, though that I mentioned that he might be modifying or altering himself as he tries to run for president.
It's a very difficult thing to run a state as contentious as Wisconsin is right now, and at the same time run for president.
Lord knows Chris Christie has had a difficult time of it.
Jindal, I think has had a little bit of a difficult time of it.
As for Scott Walker, he's being watched closely on the national scene.
People like what they see, and he's also being judged in my own state, Wisconsin, but I don't want the comments that I offered to be taken as criticism of him because I hope Scott Walker does win.
Just want to tell you that he's better at this political thing that I think a lot of people may be giving him credit for.
What's that both snerdly?
Bo snudley says people should grow up.
What should they grow up about?
What should they grow up about?
Snerdley is saying just because I tell the truth about a situation does not equal criticism.
Well, there are some people who might see it differently.
There are some people who might say that my that the job of any conservative commentator is to come out here with pom poms and say, who rah for our side.
I'm hoping that people learn a little bit maybe from the perspective that I have to offer, which was my goal here, and I say that as somebody who has been an adamant Scott Walker supporter.
Haven't agreed have agreed with him on everything.
We had a little bit of an issue over a casino issue in Wisconsin that we had a nice dust up on, but I've been a backer of him during the time he was Milwaukee County executive, governor of the state of Wisconsin, and so on.
I wanted to give the audience here a perspective of him and a little bit of information isn't a bad thing.
Also, knowing that he has had this ability to kind of move himself in a way that helps him politically.
That's not my point wasn't to criticize him In saying that.
He knows how to win, is what I'm saying.
If he has to go to Iowa and massage the position on ethanol, maybe that disappoints me.
But it is an indication that he knows how to win.
And Lord knows that our side could use somebody who knows how to win.
We ran the presidential campaign with Mitt Romney with one arm tied behind his back.
He didn't know how to win.
The Republicans nominated a candidate the last time around, trying to run a campaign against Obamacare with a guy who convented government health care.
With Walker, you do have someone who A knows how to win and B has shown an ability to stand heavy fire and not back down.
Mark Belling in for Rush.
Mark Belling sitting in for Rush on EIB.
Let's go to Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.
Where else would Wisconsin Rapids be but Wisconsin?
Jamie, you're on EIB with me.
Hey, Mark, good afternoon.
Yesterday on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd went on and on and on about this is the first time since 1984 that all the unemployment in all 50 states has come down.
And he cornered Lindsey Graham and kept saying, Isn't that great?
Can you elaborate on how how great these Obama policies are?
And I think Chuck Todd and Lindsey Graham both missed a golden opportunity to explain something as to why that has happened in this country.
And I was wondering if you could answer why that might have happened in 2000.
There's two things for reasons why it happened.
The first is is that a lot of people have left the labor market.
The second reason is is that almost every state right now is being run by a conservative Republican governor.
As I was mentioning before, there aren't any Democratic governors left.
In my state, Wisconsin, Walker has bent over backwards doing everything he can to try to raise up the private sector and make our state open for investment.
There is this shorthand that the media does.
If the economy is going well, the president gets credit credit.
If the economy is doing badly, the president gets blame.
But there are 50 states that are making public policy out there, and I don't think that you can disconnect the governors from some of the job growth that you've been talking about, which I think was where you were going with that, right, Jamie?
And I think Lindsay missed a great opportunity to say that governors and state legislatures are almost Republican across the board in the last three elections, and that's driving individual states to create jobs.
Are you surprised that Lindsey Graham missed yet another opportunity to talk up conservatism?
He's never taken an opportunity to talk up conservatism.
Thanks for the call, Jamie.
In fact, let's start.
Graham defends not using email.
Lindsey Graham says that, unlike Hillary Clinton, who set up her own email, he's never sent an email ever.
Remember when they tried to make fun of the first president Bush.
He went into the grocery store and didn't understand what the scanner is?
Lindsay Graham's running for president says he's never written an email in his life.
I'm Mark Belling setting in for Rush.
It's been a blast as always.
I've been asked by a couple of people to update a story that I mentioned the last time I was doing the Rush program.
Marquette University, which is in Milwaukee, longtime conservative professor named John McAdams.
He criticized on his blog a teaching assistant who would not allow a student in class to express an opinion in opposition to legalized gay marriage.
Marquette had suspended him.
People have asked me, well, what's happened with that case?
