Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yeah, it's almost exactly what I was talking about yesterday.
It's going to be a great example, and I'm actually glad I didn't get to it yesterday.
I meant to get to it yesterday, but didn't get to it yesterday, so I'm glad and it worked out.
It almost always does work out for the best, even when I have a mental lapse.
Greetings, folks, great to have you.
This is the most listened to radio talk show in the country, El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
I have to tell you something.
I yesterday I uh I referenced a great column on the uh situation with a run by Norman Pedoritz and commentary, which began as a magazine in 1945.
Uh Norman used to edit it.
Uh still a magazine, not so website and a blog.
It's edited by his son, although there's no nepotism involved.
Uh John Pedor said it's it's a great thing.
But in in uh back and forth today with Norman and John, I found something and I didn't know had had it's it's one of the biggest misses.
And I am instructing Coco and the gang at the website to go out and find this thing and link to it.
They published in 2011 a column by a professor at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga about me, and it's it's uh it's a column on on what it is about me and this program the left doesn't get what everybody who thinks they know about this program and is wrong, what they don't get about it.
It is one of the best pieces on this program I have ever seen, and I missed it entirely.
Today was the first time I saw it.
It's four years ago that this thing came out at commentary.
So uh Coco, let me know if you need the link.
Uh I've been swamped here.
I'll get the link up to you during the break if you have trouble locating it, but you shouldn't.
It's uh it should be found in the in the commentary search.
Now, what I was talking about, by the way, phone number 800-282-2882.
Yesterday on this program, we had a call from a woman that's that launched me into essentially a one-hour series of monologues and explanations, and the woman simply was expressing her frustration with how conservatives and republicans are lied about in the media and what she wants to see done about it.
And I explained to her why she doesn't see what she wants, and why if she did it wouldn't work.
And I got a little personal and explained my learning curve in all of this starting 26 years ago.
Well, as part of yesterday's audio soundbite roster, I had three sound bites of Rand Paul on the Today Show with Savannah Guthrie.
And I had them ready to go, and I kept moving them.
I kept intending to get to them at some point, and then the show ended, and I never got to them.
Well, it turns out they're gonna work perfectly today with further developments that have happened, and it dovetails perfectly with that which I was discussing and explaining yesterday.
Basic, let me set this up.
And by the way, Rand Paul is killing it.
I'll tell you something else.
This is classic too.
You know these two guys, Heilman and Mark Halpern that we talk about a lot here, they've got they've got this this this internet show at Bloomberg.
And they're classic.
They are cla Halpern may be a little bit more informed about us than your average drive-by media person, but it doesn't do him much good.
Both these are the two guys that write campaign books.
They learn all the stuff that would kill a Democrat candidate, and they hold it for after the election for their book.
It's those two guys.
Halpern used to be at ABC, political director, whatever.
Anyway, they were blown away.
They could not believe it.
They were stunned, they were shocked that Ted Cruz was able to raise 31 million bucks in a week.
They were just blown away.
They think Ted Cruz is from Mars.
They don't think Ted Cruz could raise 10 bucks in a month.
They have bought into this notion he's nothing more than Sarah Palin uh uh male version.
They really do believe this cockamami crap about conservatives and Republicans.
They're the most cocooned people.
And Ted Cruz is out there for anybody And anybody, just like we are here to learn about.
You don't have to have a secret code, a pin number, or a password to learn about Ted Cruz.
Likewise, you don't need one to listen to this program.
Anyway, Cruz raises 31 million and they can't believe it.
And then Heilman happened to run into him one place and can't believe, couldn't believe how nice he is.
It's just these are the people who tell us that they're the educated.
They're the open-minded, but they're the tolerant ones.
They're the understanding.
They live in such a closed-off world.
It's stunning.
Anyway, Ted Cruz raising 31 met a game changer.
Now all of a sudden, in their world, Ted Cruz is somebody to be reckoned with.
Ted Cruz, somebody to all of a sudden take serious 31 million dollars in a week.
How in the hell?
Who are these people?
Where does he get that kind of money?
Totally in a state of disbelief.
In the meantime, Mrs. Clinton, who hasn't even announced her campaign, is imploding.
There's this guy at the politico named Glenn Thrush.
And he has written a piece.
In fact, it's kind of there are two of them.
Well, it's actually his and one plays off of his.
Here's the headline reporting Glenn Thrush's tweet on Drudge in the Daily Call.
Well, the tweet is Hillary's collapsing completely shouldn't even bother to enter the race.
He's got an article of political about this.
Hillary is collapsing completely, shouldn't even bother to enter the race.
Now, if you go to the Drudge webpage in a Daily Caller, here are the headlines.
The Drudge headline is campaign collapsing completely.
Liberal political reporter Clinton campaign collapsing completely, but that's not what Thrush said.
He may have meant that.
But Thrush's tweet is Hillary apostrophe S. Hillary's, i.e., Hillary is collapsing completely.
Shouldn't even bother to enter the race.
Which, from the outside, that appears to be true.
And then if you go to Rand Paul is skunking her in Iowa.
And that is big news today.
Well, it's big news to the drive-bys.
It's big news to the drive-bys that anybody's beating Hillary anywhere.
I'm not kidding.
They really live in this walled-off fortress, where whatever they write, whatever they broadcast, whatever they say, must be the truth.
And what they think and say about Hillary is fate accomplished.
Nomination already wrapped up, election mere formality.
Anything comes along that causes them to uh makes that look untrue.
They are unable to process it.
Rand Paul is just well, all of these guys.
Scott Walker, I don't know if he took my advice or not, but he's hammering Hillary now.
That was one of the biggest pieces of advice I gave these guys collectively earlier this week.
I said 13, 14, 50, whatever, 16 Republican candidates.
Instead of going after each other and tearing each other apart and destroying each other even before the debates began, why don't you focus on Hillary?
Focus on them, focus on the presumptive nominee.
Can you imagine what damage could be done if every Republican candidate, potential nominee, focused on Obama and Hillary, because they are the real opposition.
Instead of trying to tear each other apart with lack of loyalty or lack of fealty to single issue things, go after those guys.
Can you imagine what a year and a half of hammering Hillary would do?
We don't need to drive by media for this.
They are the end, and Hillary's a presumptive nominee.
You don't have to wait for the general to go after her.
Democrats, everybody along telling us that she's it.
Oh, speaking of that, Elizabeth Warren was somewhere on TV, did not endorse Hillary.
Well, she came clear.
She expressed some reservations about Hillary out there, and that caused a lot of wet dreams out there in Progressivville.
Because they really would prefer her in the Lunatic Fringe.
Henry Kissinger.
He was on Greta's show last night.
And Dr. Kissinger is uh ill at ease over the uh Iran deal.
He said the negotiations started 12 years ago to deprive Iran of enrichment capability that was given up quite a while ago.
I am very uneasy.
That's in the vote.
Could they form a you know what they come secretary of the anyway?
Marie Harf heard this.
She went out there.
You know, Dr. Kissinger, you see a doctor?
Okay, Kissinger, he's full of big words and full of big ideas, but he doesn't know anything.
And I'm thinking, like, what Snerdley and I were talking about this earlier.
Marie Harf.
Sturley saying, you know, she's a laughing stock, coast to coast.
I said to who?
Maybe to us, not to them.
You think she's a laughing stock to the Yahoo news crowd?
They love her.
She's the Julia in the Obama campaign out of 2008 or 2012, whatever it was.
They love her.
She is the ideal result of an Ivy League education training you for government service.
They love Marina.
She can go out there and say that the president was mixed up and survive it.
She goes, Yeah, he didn't know what he was talking about.
He was talking about he wasn't clear.
He kind of muddled it up out there.
He got his words mixed.
That she said that, 30 some odd years old in the State Department, and she's still around today.
And she's still saying that.
Snerdley says, they've got to be in bed.
No, they love her.
The fact that she's still there and still prominent, they love her.
She's the cookie color mold.
For what an Ivy League education ought to mean.
See, this is what happened yesterday.
I start off talking about Rand Paul and the and the and the teachable moments here, and it just inspired, ignited all kinds of synapses in the brain firing, and look at what I haven't yet talked about.
And I kept doing that yesterday until time ran out and I never got to it.
So we're gonna take a break here.
We'll come back with this with the Rand Paul stuff and set the table, some of the other stuff happening out there.
So sit tight.
Be back in mere moments.
Rush Limbaugh program again, 800 282-2882.
Okay, so Rand Paul goes on to today's show yesterday.
He's interviewed by Savannah Guthrie, who is considered this harmless female anchor at the today show when she is every bit the partisan fire brand that anybody else on the left is.
She's the NBC White House correspondent.
She's been there or has been.
She had her own show on uh PMS NBC with F. Chuck Todd.
She's a radical.
And and like they all are.
I mean, my point is there's nothing in the middle about her.
There's nothing moderate, there's nothing objective or any of that.
She is a left-wing journalist on NBC.
Okay.
So Rand Paul does battle with her.
And doesn't accept some of her premises, some of her questions, and talks over her and so forth.
This has caused a controversial reaction.
And I was watching Fox News today.
I don't want to mention any names here, because all it means is the people I name get hold of me and say, no, no, you misunderstood.
When I didn't, and I did so I'm not going to mention the names, but it had two guests on there, one conservative, one liberal, liberal.
The conservative guest said, well, you know, you gotta look at this two ways.
What Rand Paul did with Savannah Guthrie on today's show, for the base, they love it.
That's exactly what they want to see.
The base wants to see these candidates fire back, media's unfair, media's biased, blah, but, but, but the rest of the country doesn't like it.
The rest of the country wants to see somebody presidential temperament that doesn't let the press rattle them.
And in that sense, Rand Paul did not help himself.
And they cut to the Democrat strategist who said, Are you kidding me?
You kidding me that today's show a font of radical leftism?
Give me a break.
It's bagels and cream cheese and coffee, and nothing radical about it.
Rand Paul really hurt himself.
Everybody I've spoken to personally think Rand Paul scored and scored and scored again.
You listen to these inside the beltway experts, they think he blew it.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, get this abortion.
He really rammed it down somebody's throat on abortion.
I don't mean that sound literal there, but uh that's coming up.
But this is yesterday on the Today Show.
And Savannah Guthrie says you are now officially a candidate for president.
Let me let me ask you about the framework deal with Iran and whether or not you support it.
If a written in black and white exactly as President Obama described it, and Iranians agreed to it exactly as it's been described, is it a good deal and would you support it?
That's part of the problem.
The Iranian foreign minister immediately came out writing in English saying that it meant something completely different than what President Obama said.
Right, but let's just say let's take that issue off the table.
Let me answer the question.
Well, let me answer the question.
The sincerity of the Iranians does make a big difference.
And if they're immediately saying that the agreement doesn't mean what President Obama says, that is a big problem.
Okay, now this the way this dovetails what I was telling you yesterday is that there's no way Rand Paul is going to convince her of anything.
There's no way when this is over that Savannah Guthrie is going to say you know what I've been wrong about this guy.
You know what this guy's making a lot of.
There's no way that's gonna happen.
There's nothing he could do other than announce he's changing to the Democrat Party to gain her favor.
Other than that, this is a waste of if the objective here is to try to get the media to understand Rand Paul and what he really means and what he's really saying, that isn't gonna happen here.
Do not doubt me.
She doesn't care what Rand Paul really thinks.
All she cares about is how she can make him look.
And how he looks to her is how any conservative or presidential Republican candidate looks.
They've got to be taken out.
They have to be discredited.
They have to be have to be damaged in some way.
That's all that's happening here.
I mean, look at the press has been asleep for six and a half years.
All of a sudden now we got Republicans who want to be president and they wake up and they start doing their jobs.
This is the kind of stuff they should have been doing with Obama for six and a half years.
They don't even get close to it.
Now we got potential Republican presidential nominees.
And now they're going to treat him as suspects.
But I'm telling you, the point is, no matter what Rand Paul says, no matter how nice he is, no matter how brilliant, no matter how persuasive, he's not going to change what she thinks at all.
And that's not even the mission.
If he thinks that he's going on here, or if anybody thinks that these people in the media can be awakened, have their minds get right, and new perspectives realized.
That's not why they even want him there.
They want him there to expose him.
They want him there so that Harry Reed and come out in a couple of weeks, say, you know what?
I got a friend that told me that Rand Paul hadn't paid his income tax since he gave birth to his first daughter.
Or whatever.
That's all they want to do.
Okay, so here you heard the first bite.
He stands in there and says, Let me finish.
Then it continued giving her a journalism lesson for all it was worth here.
You once said Iran was not a threat.
Now you say it is.
You once proposed ending foreign aid to Israel.
You now support it, at least for the time being.
And you once offered to drastically cut.
Once drastically, and wanted to cut defense spending, and now you want to increase it 16%.
So I just wonder if you've mellowed out.
Yeah, why don't we let me explain instead of talking over me, okay?
Before we go through a litany of things you say I've changed on, why don't you ask me a question?
Have I changed my opinion on that?
That would be sort of a better way to approach an interview.
So you see, it's it's classic here, folks.
There she goes.
You used to think this, he used she, you learn how many times she can say that about Obama?
You used to be against gay marriage.
Now you're for it.
Have you kind of mellowed?
Never ask Obama that kind of question or even pose it in that way.
You used to be this, now you're this.
You used to be this, now you're this.
You used to say that, now you say this.
You used to be this, now you do me.
What do you say?
What do you say?
There's no way, folks.
I'm telling you, don't come out of this.
This is why I banned playing MSNBC sound bites on this program in no sense.
I may be a presidential candidate has to do this.
You know, I I don't I don't think they do anymore, but they do.
Anyway, here's the here's the next one and the the the final exchange that we have that illustrates the point.
And then remember now, This created a bunch of continued conversation, which we will also analyze.
Let's start out with regard to foreign aid.
If we are going to try to eliminate or reduce foreign aid, why don't we start with the countries that hate us that burn our flag?
And so I haven't proposed removing aid from Israel, but I still agree with my original precept.
Let me answer the question.
I agree with my original statement from years ago that ultimately all nations should be free of foreign aid.
But my opinion is not any different than Netanyahu's opinion.
Do you still think Iran is not a threat, as you said in 2007?
2007 was a long time ago, and events do change.
Now, after all this, F. Chuck Todd came out and ripped him for being mean to the girl.
He did.
As though Savannah Guthrie is this delicate little flower, unable to protect herself against this mean-spirited.
Now let me just tell you again here if Savannah Guthrie is not a wallflower.
Savannah Guthrie is married, newly married with a new baby, had to get that done, get it out of the way, before the biological time bomb went off.
She got that nonsense at today's show.
She married a big-time active Democrat consultant, a campaign consultant.
She's not a wallflower, she's not defenseless, she's not helpless, she's not soft and cuddly, and so she is a Democrat left-wing activist disguised as a journalist, like they all are.
What is happening here?
And I want if any of you people listening to me have anything to do with any of these so uh to date announced Republican candidates.
Presidential hopefuls.
I want you to listen to this because what what happened here with Rand Paul and what's going to happen to you.
This is the beginning of the process of changing from race wars to gender wars.
This is happening to set up Hillary Clinton with the media protecting her.
With Obama, first African American president, can't criticize, can't get close to it because it's racist to do so.
Rand Paul standing up for himself on the Today Show with with Savannah Guthrie, and apparently, you know, not being docile and not being cordial and sitting there and accepting whatever false premise she puts at him.
Instead, he fought back.
This is now being set up as Rand Paul is representative of the Republicans who hate and do not respect women.
This is the beginning of the process whereby the Democrats and the drive-by media switch from the from the race wars that have been going on to the gender wars.
And it's an attempt in a in a mild way, maybe not so mild, to keep alive, or maybe revive would be the word, the Republican, the so-called Republican war on women.
Now the fact is there is no gender war.
There never was a war on women.
It doesn't exist.
The Republican Party does not hate women.
It's absolutely asinine, but that's what they are now trying to set up, and that is for the benefit of Hillary Clinton.
They want to have husbands fighting wives by the end of all of this.
Somewhere in the upper levels of the Democrat regime, the Democrat Party, the message has gone out.
Race is out and gender is in because Hillary is a white woman.
And that's what this really is all.
When F. Chuck Todd, first thing he did was come to her defense.
Poor defenseless woman.
I don't think that he's as big as she is.
Savannah Guthrie's like 5'10 or 5'11.
I don't know how tall Rand Paul is, but the idea that he's in there beating up on the girl on the Today Show, that's what they want you to believe in.
Here comes F. Chuck Todd right on cue, defending her as a woman under siege, a woman under attack, and how unmanly it was, how unnecessary it was.
These guys have the the audacity to tell us that they are not biased, that they are not actively engaged in the outcome of events.
and salt our intelligence every time they deny who they really are.
And it wasn't just F. Chuck Todd.
Also riding to the rescue was none other than Wolf Blitzer.
Last night on the Situation Room, Rand Paul was over there talking to Wolf Blitzer.
And here we go with the war on women narrative and Republicans hate women.
The Washington Post has a headline saying Rand Paul's problem with female interviewers just cropped up.
Again, uh I want you to respond to this, suggesting that you interrupt your female uh interviewers, that you're not polite to them.
I think I've been uh universally short-tempered and testy with both male and female reporters.
I'll own up to that.
And uh it's hard sometimes.
I do think that interviews should be questions and not necessarily editorializing.
I should have more patience, but I think I'm pretty equal opportunity.
If I get annoyed, I was annoyed with a male reporter this morning, so I I will have to get better at holding my tongue and holding my temper, but uh I think it's pretty equal opportunity, not directed towards you know one male or female.
All right, now uh what.
So accept the premise in the Wolf Blitzer question and then answer it.
That I just don't understand it.
It is absurd.
We're all adults here.
The Washington Post has a headline saying Rand Paul's problem with female interviewers just cropped up again.
I want you to respond to the suggestion that you interrupt your female.
What in the world?
It's just the sixth grade, and we're trying to teach manners.
So you see, it's clear as a bell what's happening here.
And that it so Rand Paul stands up for himself on the Today Show.
Rand Paul refuses to accept the premise, exactly what people in the audience here say they want these guys to do, and look what's happening.
The media is circling the wagons to defend this poor defenseless attack, Savannah Guthrie, and now presenting the entire idea that Rand Paul hates women.
And he really doesn't like female news babes.
He he interrupts them, and he's disrespectful, and there you go.
Welcome back.
Republican war on women.
And Rand Paul ends up, you know what?
You're right.
I gotta do a better job.
I'm equal opportunity when it comes to my combativeness with the media, and I have to do a better job of letting that be known.
This to me would have been if I'd put myself in a situation I wouldn't have accepted the premise of Wolf Blitzer's question.
I wouldn't have gone there, I would have blown the Washington Post out of the water, and I would have attempted to humiliate them for not being serious.
And I might have thrown in something.
Is this why you people don't have any audience over here?
I am running for president of the United States, and you want to talk to me about how I interact with members of the media who are attacking me.
That's what I would.
I don't but I wouldn't go in the first place.
This is why I do not accept these invitations that come my way.
There's just there's just nothing to uh to be gained by.
Let's see, look at that with 16.
Let's just uh yeah, let's keep going.
Actually, no, grab 18 and 19 first here.
Uh because this Megan Kelly last night on her show, The Kelly file.
Rand Paul is there, and they're discussing how he's dealing with the media.
And in particular, how he dealt with Savannah Guthrie, the poor defenseless, angelic, flowery.
Uh Savannah Guthrie.
Mean, brutish, predatory Rand Paul, straight from his presidential announcement.
Couldn't wait.
Couldn't wait to come attack.
Poor Savannah.
So now they're talking, and then if Chuck Todd comes out, defends her honor, a wolf blitzed.
Do you hate women?
Do you have a problem with female news?
So it's over to Kelly file, and here's how it went there.
Chuck Todd came out and said you have to be careful because you attacked two prominent female interviewers.
The Guardian said you were condescending to female reporters, and I, as a female reporter will say to Chuck Todd and The Guardian, we don't need your help.
Savannah Guthrie doesn't need your help.
And Kelly Evans doesn't need your help.
And you are entitled to push back on the interviewer just as much as you would if it were a man.
So these male commentators can butt out.
We can give as good as we get.
There you have that's why they hate Fox, by the way.
So here's Megan Kelly, who, by the way.
Well, this is everything she says here is true.
You do not want to tussle with her.
If you in any way are on the defensive about something.
If you've done something wrong, if you've you do not want to get near it.
She doesn't care whether you're male, female from Mars, Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter.
And that's what she's saying here.
We can handle it, we can take it.
We don't need all of these male liberals defending us.
We can take it and do it and defend ourselves.
We don't even need to be defended, period.
But then she does want Rand Paul to answer for being thin skinned.
She said the thin skinned question, whether it's a female or a male reporter, that one I say is fair.
The one she asked you, what do you think about that, Mr. Paul?
I think it is.
And I mean to say anything, can I do better?
Yes.
Am I sometimes thin skinned?
Yes.
But am I equal opportunity?
I mean, I had a TIFF with a male reporter today, so it has nothing to do with sexuality.
When I think of doing an interview with you, I don't think whether you're a man or woman.
I think of an intelligent person who's going to ask me questions.
Well, I don't know how you do an interview with Megan Kelly and not know she's a woman, but there's all kinds of people.
Okay, now to illustrate my example.
Here's what Rand Paul did.
And look, I don't I don't want anybody to to think that this is uh that criticism is rooted in I I'm not saying he's not qualified to run.
I'm not that I'm not even commenting on his candidacy here.
So don't anybody infer anything from what I say, because I'm not implying anything.
I just want to address technique that people use dealing with the drive-by media.
They put forth a premise and he's mean to women.
They put forth the premise he's unfair, biased against women.
Instead of blowing it out of the park, he accepts it and then says, no, but I'm equal opportunity.
You know, I'm I'm I'm sometimes I'm uh either up both.
Sometimes I uh I I've got to do better.
I have to do better.
I don't know how that's I don't know how that helps.
He's off message with it.
Uh is not going because you see, Savannah Guthrie's feelings weren't hurt.
She was not offended as a woman.
She's looking at this as how can I take this guy off message?
How can I get this guy off the rails?
How can I get this guy to look unpresidential?
How can I and throw this stuff out there?
And after the interview, it's the judgment is mission accomplished or not.
It's not, oh my God, you heard my feet.
Just see what he did to me.
He interrupted me.
That's that even factor in.
So the the idea that, you know, Rample's, I can do better.
I can do better.
I d there's there's no reason to say that because it's not going to change the media's reporting on him at all.
They're not gonna, you know, Rand Paul admitted today that he has sometimes been unfair to women and maybe even men, and promises to do better as the campaign rolls on.
It's not how it works.
But but again, look, uh everybody can do this their own way as and can tell me I'm full of it.
I'm just attempting to build on real life experiences to give you examples of that which I was speaking about yesterday in terms of okay, how do we beat these people back?
How do we overcome the built-in bias and unfairness and whatever else you want to say exists?
The drive-by media against Republicans.
And all I'm saying is you do you're not gonna beat that back by agreeing with them.
You're not gonna get that back by telling them that they're wrong in how they're looking at you.
No, you don't understand me.
I'm a nice guy.
I love women just as much as I love men.
I don't have any problem with reporters.
Sometimes I lose my temperament.
Um that may be effective with some voters, something I don't know, but it's not going to change the media perception.
Because the media is not there to like Rand Paul.
The media is there to humiliate him.
The media is there to take him out.
Just as they are with any other Republican candidate.
If that remains a controversial statement, then we have a long way to go.
Because to me, there's no doubt about it.
Now, let's see.
Rand Paul, let's get let's go to something else here that's really, really uh I mean, attaboy positive kind of stuff.
And none of this is a criticism.
I be very, very clear again.
I'm not being some I'm critical.
I'm just explaining, giving examples of what I was talking about yesterday and today.
Uh about this challenge of overcome, overcoming the media.
I think Rand Paul's doing great.
You look at the polling data out there.
He is he is just blooming in Colorado and Iowa and Virginia.
There's a Quinnipiact poll out there, and Hillary Clinton Paul says is wilting.
Hillary is fading away.
Left wing columnists at the politico are suggesting her campaign's already fatally damaged.
She may as well not even get in the race.
You know, it's tough when you think you're a fate accompli, and something is just a matter of time, and it's automatically gonna happen.
The first thing that comes along and upsets that people don't know how to deal with it, and that's where the Democrats are.
Okay, back to the Situation Room CNN, Wolf Blitzer talking with Rand Paul about his stance on abortion.
And Wolf Blitzer said, you were questioned about your stance on abortion rights for women, and you said something along the lines.
Well, ask Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
You said, ask Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz if it's okay to kill a seven-pound baby in the uterus.
She did respond to what you said.
She put out a statement saying, here's an answer.
I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved, period.
End of story.
And I would appreciate it if you could respond without shushing me.
That's what she said.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz.
See how it builds on.
Savannah Guthrie, poor defenseless, caring, compassionate, info babe of NPC News.
Just doing your job.
Here came Rand Paul.
He was mean, and he talked all over, interrupted her.
And now, chairman of Democratic National Committee.
Yeah, okay, here's what I say to him, if I can get a word edgeways, then.
So now that that that mean, that narrative is set.
And there's nothing he's going to be able to do to get rid of it.
But anyway, here's his answer to the question.
Her answer is yes, that she's okay with killing a seven-pound baby.
But the interesting thing is I understand our country's polarized on the issue, and not everybody agrees on the issue.
But even most of my friends who are pro-choice will tell me they're not okay with uh seven and eight, nine-pound abortions.
Debbie's position, which I guess is the Democrat Party position, that an abortion all the way up until the day of birth would be fine.
I think really most pro-choice people would be a little uncomfortable with that.
So I don't know.
I I really think that she's got some explaining to do.
Most pro-choice people would not be uncomfortable with that.
That's why they are pro-choice.
Abortion first, last, and always.
Any abortion that does not happen is a potential chink in the armor in a cause.
Any abortion that does not happen is momentum lost.
It's a political issue.
Why do you think they stand outside these halfway houses where women are persuaded to not go to Planned Parenthood and to come in and give birth and put the baby up for adoption?
Why is Planned Parenthood?
Why are leftists standing outside trying to stop women from making that decision?
Aside from the money.
I mean, Planned Parenthood's getting rich.
Daily caller.
Rand challenges press.
Ask DNC head if it's okay to kill a seven-pound baby in the uterus.
And people go, bravo, bravo.
That's a kind of throw it back at him.
And he did.
And you heard her answer.
So forth.
I'm I gotta take a break here because once again, my friends, the constraints of time are the only thing that can shut me up.
I think Savannah Guthrie's in the running to become the nightly news anchor if Lester Holt is unable to hold on.
Look, folks, she's ambitious like all the rest of them.
She wants to make news.
She's not in there to just help you put cream cheese and bagel the right way as you're stumbling in the kitchen as you get ready for work in the morning.
