Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
Man oh man, where to begin?
Where to begin today?
We could begin with Comedy Central once again, ripping off your host.
We could start with Baltimore.
You hear what the mayor said in Baltimore?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We hand to give those who wish to destroy space, space to do that.
We gave those who wish to destroy space to do that in the inner harbor.
Gangs in Baltimore have made a pact with one another to unify against the cops and not take out each other.
So we got Baltimore.
We got the latest on the Clinton crime family syndicate up there, known as the Clinton Foundation.
We got George Stephanopoulos.
George Stephanopoulos on this week, yesterday, talking to the author of the book on the on the Clinton's Peter Schweitzer, accusing him of being a partisan.
How in the hell can you say this?
You're a partisan.
As though Stephanopoulos is some objective, never been involved in any politics before.
It is a partisan.
What the hell is Stephanopoulos?
One half of the Clinton war room back in the 1990s.
Anyway, there's all kinds of stuff like that that just stretches credulity out there and uh and and credibility.
And then we've got oh we have the um uh the the White House correspondence dentor.
There's some stuff there that we might uh want to get into as well.
Oh, I just saw this.
You know what?
Grab Sondite 15.
I didn't see that there, right?
We're gonna need that at the top here since I've already mentioned it as one of the first.
Go through the rest of the list here real quick.
Now that should do it.
Oh yeah, and the uh the gay rights uh activists have gotten a GoFundMe campaign for a cake shop out in Oregon.
Uh they got the money taken away from the cake shop.
They closed the fund down with agitation, threats, and intimidation.
Here that Ted Cruz went to a fundraiser.
Two gay guys own a hotel, hotel chain, I guess.
And one of the hotels in New York, the the way out hotel or the in and out or the come out, whatever.
That these guys, and they invited Ted Cruz to come in.
They want to learn what he believed.
So they publicize this, they go to a little fundraiser.
I don't even know if it's a fundraiser or not, but Ted Cruz met with these two guys, and they have apologized, and they are saying that Ted Cruz sucks and that Ted Cruz is horrible, and they've oh, please, they're begging the gay community forgive them because they've just been ripped to shreds uh on Twitter and uh Facebook and by the others in the in the gay activist community.
How dare you be nice to Ted Cruz?
How dare you have Ted Cruz at Hotel while we're never gonna go to your hotel.
And the the royal, you know, our culture is sick and it's getting sicker and it's becoming more and more divided and more and more partisan.
And so we're just gonna chronicle it all here today, folks.
Great.
Oh, oh, oh, and there are people I should have mentioned this at the people who I actually got an email from a friend of mine in Kansas who said, Look, screw all the rest of this stuff.
The most important thing is your review of your Apple Watch.
No, it's not.
That's not the most important thing.
I'll be glad to give you my thoughts on the Apple Watch, but they don't differ much from what I thought it was gonna be.
I mean, anything you can do on the phone, you can do on the watch or let me the other way anyway you can do on the watch, you can do on the phone because the watch isn't is a for the most part 99% slave.
The watch will keep will keep time by itself.
The watch will do alarms and timers and all that by itself, and it will connect to an uh to a Wi-Fi network that it owns by itself.
Uh other than that, you need your phone for it.
And it came in handy Saturday exactly as I thought.
Played golf at a place that doesn't allow cell phones.
So I stuck my phone in in my golf bag.
In a compartment, nobody would ever go into it, and I wore the watch, and I got you know some messages and notifications that I would have missed during my round.
Otherwise, uh thankfully none of them were emergencies, but that's exactly how I thought it would come in handy.
It's pretty cool.
I mean, the tech, there's no question it's cool, but I'm just gonna tell you exactly as I thought.
If I've got my phone here and I've got my watch and something happens, I'm gonna use the phone.
I'll tell you one thing where the watch is better.
Siri.
I am convinced, and there's been a couple of news stories about the new back end at Apple's U. They're on their third iteration of Siri, as it turns out, software-wise.
I'm telling you, the dictation on this watch is flawless.
It has yet to make a mistake since I set it up and paired it Friday afternoon.
It has yet to make an input mistake.
It has translated everything I've said 100% correctly.
I'm convinced that it's a different Siri.
And of course, it has to be good because there's no other input.
You can't type on it.
The only way you can communicate with it is to uh dictate.
Uh now in the messages app, there are some stock things.
You can click on the word thank you, click on thanks, click I can't talk now and send that, but you can't create anything other than with your voice.
Okay.
800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Let us let's get soundbite number one out of the way.
I need to I need to refute something here.
This is Saturday on NPR's This American Life.
The host is Ira Glass.
And he's got a he did a commentary on what he called the backfire effect.
And the backfire effect he defines as a phenomenon stating that when confronted with evidence, disproving what we believe, most of us ignore that evidence and dig in and become even more entrenched in our beliefs.
In other words, nobody changes our mind.
Nobody is able to enlighten anybody else.
You believe what you believe, and somebody comes along and gives you evidence that you're wrong, you do not acknowledge it.
You dig deeper and get even wronger.
When it comes to the big hot button issues, I mean climate change and gun control and abortion rights and school vouchers and affirmative action and Obamacare.
Okay, do you know anybody who has changed their minds?
I mean, who firmly was on one side of the issue and then they like read a story in the New York Times or they heard something on Rush Limbaugh, and now they are firmly on the other side.
I'm just gonna guess, like, probably not, right?
In fact, the opposite happens.
There's this thing called the backfire effect.
It's been documented in all kinds of studies.
It shows that when we're confronted with evidence, disproving what we believe, generally we just dig in and we believe it more.
It's been documented in all kinds of studies.
Well, let me contribute to all kinds of studies.
And that would be real life.
Evidence provided by numerous callers over the 25 plus years we've been doing this program at least once, twice a week.
We get somebody caller here gushing.
How they used to be a lib.
But I saved them.
I changed their minds.
I caused them to be enlightened.
I caused them to wake up.
It happens multiple times a week on this program, disproving that theory.
Just wanted to get it out of the way.
White House Correspondence Dinner.
I mentioned uh very beginning of the program that Comedy Central apparently is stealing from this program.
People do not know this.
But Rush Limbaugh the TV show is what the Daily Show is, except we made fun of the left, which is why nobody ever heard about it.
Actually, it's not true that nobody heard about it.
Back in those days, 1992 to 1996, uh, we were outrating David Letterman.
The problem is we didn't have a single consistent time slot.
We're different time slot every market.
There were a whole lot of uh problems with it, but we had higher rate.
This is when Leno and Letterman were going at it, and they were dividing their audience and and Rush Limbaugh on the TV show.
They told me when we started the show, I said, What's this going to take to work?
They said, you need to get a four, four point oh.
So we started with uh from nothing, and we started uh the first period of two point eight, and I think in our second season we hit that magic number of 4.0.
And we held that 4.0 throughout the balance of the time, so three years or so.
Two and a half uh three years.
And as those of you who watched that show know exactly what it was.
We found news involving liberals every day, and we used it either for serious political commentary or we mocked and made fun of them and laughed at them, exactly what the Daily Show is.
And it featured commentary by me.
The only difference is we didn't have any writers.
We had about a thousand producers looking for video sound bites.
We did not have any writers.
It was just me.
And we had uh just the video clips, and you remember the fame most famous video from that show was the Clinton Ron Brown memorial video, where Clinton is seen crying, shedding a tear he's next to standing next to the minister from Ohio, uh Pennsylvania, and they're walking into the Ron Brown, former commerce secretary killed in a plane crash, who is memorial.
Clinton spots the camera in less than a step.
He goes from laughing uproariously, really yucking it up to crying.
In less than one step when he saw that camera.
And that video just spelled out exactly better than any words could, exactly who Bill Clinton is and what a phony is.
People demanded to see that video over and over, but that was made fun of the left all the time.
Also, it wasn't long ago, I guess three years ago, when it was firmly established that any criticism of Obama was going to be labeled racist and therefore illegitimate.
I, L. Rushbull conceived the official Obama criticizer.
Mr. Snardley, who has had it confirmed, by the way, 100% slave blood.
Mr. Sturdley can trace his ancestors back to slavery.
So he's qualified.
Down for the struggle, he's got the genealogical track and history to be an official legitimate Obama criticizer.
So the criticizer was born.
And whenever serious criticism of Obama was needed, rather than me doing it, I brought on Mr. Snurdley.
And Mr. Snerdley, with 100% slave blood, therefore qualifying him as a criticizer would then level the criticism at Obama and as a bonus, then do it in ebonics or hip hop, uh to reach virtually everybody in the audience.
So lo and behold, at the White House Correspondence Dinner Saturday night, Obama engages in a bit that is called the anger translator.
And I guess this has been a staple at Comedy Central for, I don't know, three years, two years, whatever it is.
And what happens is, in the case, the White House Correspondence Dinner, Obama would get up and say something, and then his anger translator would tell the audience what he really meant.
Meaning Obama afraid to say it.
So he said it in code the translator then come out and would say what Obama really meant.
And so Obama would be immune from any criticizers because he hadn't actually said anything.
The translator would do it.
And it's a direct ripoff of the official Obama criticizer.
And here is a sound bite depicting this.
I guess I didn't even know about this until I read about I didn't even see the correspondence now.
I didn't watch it on purpose.
Um Catherine did.
She was relaying things to me.
And I said, I don't even, I don't care.
She said, Boy, Obama seems angry.
I said, he is.
Boy, Obama seems mad.
He is.
That's what this anger translator bit's all about.
Apparently, Comedy Central has a show called Key and Peel, and the character Luther is Obama's anger translator to tell us what he's really thinking.
Despite our differences, we count on the press to shed light on the most important issues of the day.
And we can count on Fox News to terrify old white people with statistics.
Sharia law is coming to Cleveland.
So they were making fun of Fox News there.
What Obama said, I don't know if the first part of the burnt bike was heard.
Despite our differences, we count on the press to sh shed light on the most important issues of the day.
Obama said that.
Here came the translator who said, and we can count on Fox News to terrify old white people with some nonsense.
Sharia law coming to Cleveland, so forth.
So that's the translator, thus explaining what Obama really thinks but does not say.
A direct ripoff of the official Obama criticizer.
And in fact, the reason why.
We did the official Obama criticizer to point out the hypocrisy of those who claim that any criticism of Obama is racist.
Well, what better way to get past that than bring in a guy with 100% slave blood to do the criticizing?
And I think in honor of this, we should, we should, we should revive the criticizer this week.
It's been a while since we've uh done it.
We have to do it tomorrow.
We have to do it by tomorrow.
Okay.
And also at the White House Correspondence Dinner, Memories Pizza was the target of these effete snobs at what has become popularly known as the nerd prom.
You know, I read some journal, I forget his name, some journalists is really concerned about what's happening here with the White House correspondence dinner that's so that that journalists and newsmakers have transformed into celebrities.
He said, This isn't good for our business.
This is not good for what we do.
But it is perfect.
For the left, it's the ideal way for the left to inculcate itself into the pop culture.
Just have everybody in the news and all the journalists thought of as a list celebrities, no different than Jay-Z or take your pick.
You know, politics, I've always said, is just showbiz for the ugly.
Politics is showbiz for people who could never make it in Hollywood because they're too ugly, or they're too geeky, or they're too nerdy.
And that's exactly what this correspondence dinner has become.
Anyway, it's typical.
Here you have these effete snobs that are the Washington media and Washington politicians.
And they can they bring in a comedian, this time Sicily Strong from uh Saturday Night Live.
And of course, it's still open season on that harmless, didn't ever do anything to anybody family in Ohio that owns memories pizza.
And I guarantee you nobody from Memories Pizza was there.
So the tolerant and compassionate, they tell us they're the fairest of us all.
They're the meanest of us all, decide to get in on memories pizza.
I hope everyone enjoyed dinner.
Uh we tried to get memories pizza to cater this event, but they heard a rumor Barney Frank might be here.
So thanks a lot, Barney.
We could have had that world-famous Indiana pizza.
Yeah, right, right, right, right.
Good, good try.
Yeah, these are the people that really care about the little guy.
Yeah, these are the people that do everything they do.
So the downtrodden and the hungry and the thirsty get recognized, don't get trampled on, don't get run over and then this kind of stuff.
Here they are just making open fun of these people in a pathetic joke anyway.
Okay, gotta take a timeout.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Okay, let's move on to Baltimore, where there are gang riots and urban riots in the city, as on the surface it appears an effort to recreate Ferguson, Missouri is taking place.
This is the urban core.
You remember, ladies and gentlemen, it was a few short weeks ago.
I asked a question.
Why is it that all of these groups, minority or otherwise, who vote for the Democrat Party and who have their first ever African American president?
Why are they angrier than ever?
Why are they unhappier than ever?
You've had the Democrat Party supposedly paving the way for them for 50 years.
You've had the Democrat Party running interference for them for 50 years.
The Democrat Party promising to get even with all those racist conservatives and Republicans.
The Democrat Party promising that whatever goes wrong, they're gonna fix.
The Democrat Party making it clear that they are the champions of these downtrodden people.
These downtrodden people are angrier than they've ever been.
They're unhappier than they've ever been.
They're more agitated than they've ever been.
The urban core.
Obama's base.
The urban core, which you could say has more influence in presidential elections Than ever before, when they turn out.
The urban core, and they're raising hell and they're destroying property.
And they're operating on the basis of lies.
They're still believing that hands up, don't shoot happened.
You can't talk sense to them.
You can't tell them the truth about anything.
They don't want to hear the truth.
They want to live in their fantasy world.
You've got the first African American president who does nothing to quell this.
The first African American president who doesn't do anything to stop this?
Talk sense into people?
No, he seems to be relishing it.
Well, that may be, but I don't know if he's relishing it, but he certainly isn't doing anything to stop it.
It seems to be more chaos that he seems to play off of rather well and rather enjoyably.
And we've got the mayor, Grab Audio Soundbite 13, Stephanie Rawlings Blake, Saturday night, held a press conference responding to the violent protests over the criminal suspect Freddie Gray's death while in police custody.
Reporters said, did you have any idea that this would go toward the inner harbor?
That's the developed area.
That's tourist city, if you will.
I've made it very clear that I worked with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their uh right to free speech.
It's a very delicate balancing act.
Because while we uh try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.
We gave those who wished to destroy room to do it.
Space to do it.
We didn't try to shut them down.
Now there is some pushback, if you believe the pictures from Baltimore.
Back in a second.
Seems like we say this multiple times a day now when reviewing the news.
This is incredible.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Which of course isn't true because there isn't anything new really since Genesis.
It may be new for people of certain age who haven't heard of the thing before, but nevertheless, I do not recall, I'm sure other mayors have said things that are similar.
But I don't recall a mayor saying while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on.
We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.
We worked very hard to keep that balance to make sure that the protesters were not run over by cars and other things.
And while we protected them on that area, then we had to make sure they had the space to destroy.
What is the what what that's one of the most disqualifying statements ever made by a politician?
I don't I mean, there's no rational explanation for that.
And I don't pretend to know what goes on in Stephanie Rawlings Blake's mind.
I could make a pretty good guess, because I know she's a lib, as such I know she's angry.
Uh as such, I know she's probably a racist.
And so her view is the last thing we want to do is get anybody hurt.
So, okay, these guys, they're hell bent on destroying something.
We just gotta let it happen.
Because if we try to stop it, they're gonna be bloodshed.
It's gonna be bad out there.
My cops are gonna get hurt, innocent bystanders get hurt, protesters might get run over by cars, so if they want to destroy something, we got to give them space to do it.
That's the peaceful way to resolve that the only way I can possibly understand this.
Not that I would concur with it, but just to understand it.
I mean, Baltimore is getting the ambassador Stevens treatment in Benghazi.
And that, of course, pioneered by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
So Baltimore, like our ambassador in Libya, was left unprotected and undefended, and those who wished to destroy were given space to do it because on balance, and that's what this is all about, she said.
On balance, that's the safest way to go.
Except that the space they were given was the inner harbor.
I mean, that's well, that's probably the part of town that the protesters hate the most anyway, because it's built up and I even have to be careful about characterizing what the inner harbor is.
A proper characterization of the inner harbor caused charges of racism to be thrown around.
Uh I'm just stunned.
Now that one thing I have noticed, I've seen some pictures, I haven't read too much about this.
Yeah, the inner harbor in the camp Camden Yards.
Oh, try this.
I had uh friend was at Camden Yards on Saturday night, a Red Sox fan, whether it's he the Red Sox and the all the and the Orioles.
And in the ninth inning, they make an announcement on a PA and they put the message up on the scoreboard in Center Field that the mayor has ordered every fan inside the stadium to stay there until a mayor gave the all clear because there was rioting and mayhem and destruction going on outside.
The game was still going on, ended up going extra innings.
There were, I think I saw 15,000 fans still left at Camden Yards by the time the ninth inning came around.
And they were ordered to stay in there because there was total mayhem.
Um, you know, all kinds of bars and restaurants circle Camden Yards, and many people use those bars and restaurants pregame and postgame, and protesters are walking by these bars, is the pictures I've seen, and some of the patrons who have to be white are actually leaving their seats at the outside tables and going back and confronting the protesters, which you don't see much.
Now I know it's the still shots, but it looked to me to be a little bit of pushback.
Which you don't see much.
And what these pictures indicate is that the rioters were fighting other citizens, not the police.
It was urban warfare between citizens in in Baltimore, and here comes this mayor.
Well, we have to give those who wished to destroy space to do that.
I can safely say at a time in this nation's past, somebody who thought this way would never ever get elected to anything.
But generations change, the country changes, young people change, and they all the product of their upbringing and education.
And now people being elected to office are they're not people who have shown maturity and growth from the things that animated their youth and childhood.
They've gotten angrier and angrier and boldering, but now they've won elections, and now they represent the underside of society in many of these places.
It's just incredible.
We gotta make sure the people who wished to destroy space to do that.
Here, listen to it again.
This is Stephanie Rowling's Blake, Baltimore mayor, on Saturday night a press conference.
I've made it very clear that I worked with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their uh right to free speech.
It's a very delicate balancing act.
Because while we uh try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.
I swear, I just how do you get that?
That's conceding.
You know, there's all too way too much of that going on here.
There's way too much conceding to the rotten elements in our culture.
It's happening in politics, the Republicans concede practically everything.
It's happening now in uh in the culture.
The people who dominate are the meanest, the biggest bullies.
This White House Correspondents Dinner was a bully session when you get right down to it.
Bullying memories pizza yet again, and these are the people claimed to be on the lookout for bullies, and these are the people claimed to be going to protect you from bullies.
You go to Baltimore, is there a single person in a position of authority in Baltimore who is not a Democrat?
And yet, the same thing practically everywhere else where problems like this exist.
You'd pick the place, and I guarantee the place to run by Democrats, and has been for a while.
So they've got the positions of power.
They're winning elections, they're angrier than they've ever been.
No, of course I know why.
The Democrat Party wants it this way.
The Democrat Party constantly agitates.
There's no room for contentment.
There's no room for being satisfied because the agenda must march and move on every day.
There's not even any celebration of success on the left.
They don't even get happy about that.
Even when they win, they get ticked off.
Even then when they get outrageously angry.
Well, the police in Ferguson at on one night, yes, refused to protect private property.
But I don't know that that was an order from the mayor.
May well have been.
But I know that the police in Ferguson one night just stood out of the way.
And if you wanted to blow up a building, if you wanted to start a fire, if you wanted to loot, the cops let you do it, under the theory that we had to let them get it out of their system.
By the way, raising kids.
I don't know.
This just it's it's there's a there's an appeasement to the most rabid elements of our culture.
We're appeasing them like we appease the Iranians, like we appease every enemy that we've got everywhere.
Everybody's scared to death.
We can't even, we can't even have a discussion here where people disagree because a disagreement is called hate.
You're a hater if you disagree with this agenda or that agenda.
Not all disagreement involves hate.
Very little disagreement involves hate.
But all disagreement with the left is now disqualified because it is hate.
And of course, people being accused of being haters don't want to be accused of being haters, so they shut up.
Stephanie Rawlings Blake has a law degree.
As such, she should know that destroying things is not free speech.
Well, the Utah, that's another thing that's been bastardized.
I have my rights.
You don't know what your rights are.
You couldn't define rights if you had to.
And I know what free speech is, man, and I have my right to free speech.
Free speech does not let you destroy things.
It does if I want to.
I have an American, I have free speech.
No, free speech does not entitle you to destroy things and other people's property.
Here's uh Elijah Cummings, a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucasians in the House of Representatives on Face the Nation Sunday morning.
It was very peaceful all day, thousands of people.
And then at the end, there were a few people who said, we're gonna turn this city down, we're gonna close it down.
We had a few people, mainly from out of town, to come and to start beating up on police cars and throwing all kinds of projectiles.
But the fact is that for the most part, it was uh it could have been worse.
But again, this whole police community relations situation, Bob, is the civil rights cause for this generation, no doubt about it.
What's civil rights cause of this generation?
No question about it, Bob.
This whole police community relations situation, a civil rights cause for this generation.
What is this a bunch of people just trying to relive the 60s then?
What is this based on?
If it's based on Ferguson, Missouri, it's all based on a lie.
Anyway, I got to take a break here, folks, but you sit tight, much more straight ahead when we get back.
And I guess this is what happens if you grow up being taught that the only noble and important thing to ever happen in American history was the civil rights movement.
And there's no question that that's true in many school districts all across the country.
The most important thing to happen in American history was the civil rights movement.
Yeah.
Why did all this stuff fail then?
Why is all this stuff happen?
We've done all these things.
We've made all these advancements.
We've taken all of these precautions and we've made all of these changes.
I'm still struck by that.
I'm still struck by not I'm not talking about the fake anger.
I'm not talking about the paid rent-mob types that are bust in by these groups to raise hell.
That's bought and paid for.
There is nevertheless legitimate unhappiness in all of these communities.
Legitimate anger.
Now I would be too if I had the presence of mind to look at it the way I do, and that is, I've been investing every dream I've got in the Democrat Party.
I've been trusting those people my whole life.
They're going to make it better.
Whatever that means.
They're going to get even with the people that have been mean to me, they're going to get even with the people who've been mean to my family, they're going to get even with the people who got more than I do, they're going to do it.
And it never happens.
Those people just get more and more money, they get richer and richer, and they never lose their jobs.
And meanwhile, I can't find one.
And yet the Democrat Party has made all these commitments to me.
The Democrat Party's made all these promises.
And on that standpoint, I can understand the rage and anger.
But that is apparently not why they're angry.
And you and I both know why they're angry, and we also both know we all know why they'll never be happy.
Because the recipes they've given been given to live by are not going to produce contentment or happiness or even joy.
I mean, when people will lie to other people just to keep them mad, which is what happens in many cases here, it is really down to earth tragic.
Let me grab a call, start with Mike in Chicago.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're up first today.
Great to have you with us.
Rush, uh first-time caller, and what an honor to speak to you and to speak to Mr. Snurdley.
Um, you know, I'm concerned about what the mayor said.
If the government isn't going to protect property, then doesn't that make it up to the citizens to protect their property and take that protection into their own hands?
And if citizens are protecting property, isn't that a complete contradiction of what the liberal agenda is?
About how government will protect us and we don't need to protect ourselves.
Well, to an ext, yeah, I mean, it's a bit of an extreme, but yeah, the the government does promise you that they'll take care of you.
They'll protect you against uh racism and bigotry and and homophobia and all that, and they'll and they'll give you all the money that they can, which is really not very much.
Uh, but your real point here is that if city officials, state officials, federal officials are not going to lift a finger to protect property.
If the police are ordered not to protect property for whatever reason, even if it's one of these famous left-wing, well-intentioned reasons.
Well, you know, I was only trying to do the right thing.
We know they're gonna protest, and it's safer just to let them protest rather than try to stop them, because that would be to send in the cops, and then there would be injuries, and then there would be pain and there would be blood.
We don't want any of that.
So the best way is just let them proceed, give them room to do it, and let them get it out of their system.
This was somewhat of the thinking in Ferguson, by the way, on one night.
Well, there's a problem.
There are innocent people that have nothing to do with any of this who happen to own businesses in the area in which the agitators choose to get mad and act on their anger.
What are they supposed to do?
They are relying on the authorities, be it the state, be it the city, police department, whatever, to protect them and their property.
And if that's not going to happen, then what are these people to do?
And I'm not even talking about arming themselves.
I mean, I've seen pictures in Baltimore where people are pushing back and running into the street and confronting protesters.
Not with guns.
They're just fed up.
And doesn't appear they just want to stand idly by and let their day be ruined, their property be ruined, or anything else.
So can the mayor, since the mayor in I don't know, seems to approve this for whatever reason.
I'm not saying she encouraged it, but who knows?
Can she be sued?
Can these businesses sue the city?
If they're damaged, if they're destroyed?
I don't know.
I just am asking.
Well, I know now they have the uh Baltimore City police have arrested uh released the names of individuals arrested during Saturday's riots.
They've been charged with theft, assault, and rioting.
After the way was paved for that to happen, apparently.
Anyway, folks, we have lots more.
George W. Bush has opened up on Obama in Vegas.
We'll be back.
