Time Text
Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limboy here, the cutting edge of societal evolution 800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program and the uh the email address, Lrushmow at EIBNet.com.
By the way, judge on the uh on the Hillary Clinton uh the emails.
This is so classic.
A judge, federal judge issued an order yesterday requiring the State Department to make public batches of uh Hillary's emails available every 30 days starting next month.
The monthly disclosure essentially splits the difference between the State Department's most recent proposal of releases every 60 days and lawyers uh for a plaintiff who wanted the releases every two weeks.
Now, this this is uh it's gonna be a monthly drip.
I mean, what a great way to convert this into something boring.
I mean, Hillary Clinton's missing emails obviously are a gold mine.
There's something in there that she doesn't want anybody to see.
That's why they're missing.
So we've had this long drawn-out argument over how to get them released to the public, and now we got a federal well, how about it, how about we see the State Department didn't want to release any of them until January of 2016 or sometime in 2016.
And that's too long.
Come on, you don't take you that long to go through these and redact the stuff that's genuine national security.
So a compromise was reached, and it's now, okay, we'll have a little dribble every 30 days.
And that's the fastest way to turn this into a boring nothing to see here kind of story, because the the narrative is going to be, and another batch of Hillary Clinton emails was released today for the State Department, the second batch since the first batch 30 days ago.
And the story will all will be all about how Mrs. Clinton is being forced to hand over stuff she doesn't want to hand over.
None of it is going to be devoted to the actual subject matter or the substance of the emails.
And by the time anything of substance might be learned, everybody's gonna be bored with it.
But I say everybody, I mean the low information crowd.
He's just gonna be bored with it.
And so this is another uh example of maybe how the Clintons are able to swat this kind of stuff away that other people would not be able to get away with.
Somebody needs to help me understand this.
Black women in San Francisco are arrested way more often than white women, according to the latest report.
Black women in San Francisco disproportionately arrested compared with their white counterparts, according to a new analysis of state arrest data from the Center on Criminal and Juvenile Justice.
Black women represent 5.8% of the female population of San Francisco, but they accounted for, are you ready?
45% of all female arrests in 2013.
Now, they've got my mind trained on this kind of stuff.
So when I see, for example, a story that shows the black male population in the U.S. is 8%, but the incarceration rate, all the percentage of prisoners in the criminal justice system, the prison system, they're African American is 70%.
Then I am led to believe that there's some kind of bias or prejudice against African Americans.
There's such a small percentage of the population, and yet so many of them are in jail.
It's got to prove white racism, right?
This is what the left wants us to believe.
It's what the drive-by media wants us to believe.
They want us to there's no way that all of those African American guys in jail are really criminals.
It's just happening because a bunch of racist cops and a bunch of racist judges and a bunch of racist juries.
Everybody knows this, right?
That's the attempt.
That's what they want all of us to conclude.
Okay.
So let's go to the liberal mecca of San Francisco, where we find black women represent about six percent of the city's population, and yet they account for nearly half of all female Arrests.
Well, taking what we've learned, say in Baltimore, for example, I guess we are to conclude from this that the people that run San Francisco are a bunch of racists.
And they're biased and they're prejudiced against black women.
I mean, black women are only what?
Six percent of the population, and they represent half of the females arrested in town.
It's got to be racism and bigotry, probably, I don't know if there's any homophobia thrown in, you never know, but there could be.
Because is it isn't it obvious that that good people, I mean, San Francisco's a Mecca of every aspect of liberalism.
And it looks like black women are being profiled there.
Looks like they're being arrested in droves.
For what reason?
Is there any reason?
Because we I haven't heard about black women creating crimes, committing crimes, breaking laws.
I've just, we've never heard about this.
It's always black men we hear about doing the black women, and here we go, the liberal Mecca.
How does this happen?
I wonder what it really means.
Black women arrested at a per capita rate 13 and a half times higher than women of other races.
And these are shocking statistics, my friends, and they they come on the heels of a report released yet late yesterday, outlining what its authors call the dangerous criminalization of black women.
In a year filled with countless protests, relentless media coverage, robust political and community organizing efforts aimed at addressing the overpolicing and police involved deaths of young black men.
Comparatively little has been said about the criminalization and vulnerability of black girls and women.
So here we go.
Everything the left is just incorrigible.
Democrat Party, whatever you want to call them, everything is going to be looked at.
The race.
But still interesting.
I w I wonder, I wonder what the drive-by is.
I wonder what the civil rights activists are going to say.
If anything, they probably won't even react to this.
But this does not fit them all.
You have a liberal Mecca where there are more sensitive people and more beautiful people and loving people and more tolerant people, and of course, San Francisco ought to be zero racism, right?
I mean, it's all liberals.
There should be no bigotry.
There's no racism.
There's no homophobia.
There are no rich people that other people hate.
But it's a utopia, San Francisco, Seattle, their model cities, right?
How in the world can this be?
Because we're told everywhere else in the country, if a black person in jail, it's because of racism and bigotry.
Latent racism, white racism and bigotry, probably hatred of Obama thrown in.
Well, how does that explain half of the women arrested in San Francisco being African American?
You didn't even know this, did you?
You had no idea that of all the cities in the world most discriminating against African American women, San Francisco.
Rice the roadie.
It just doesn't, it just doesn't make any sense.
By the way, um, I've got this stuff down at the bottom of the stack.
But all hell is breaking loose in Baltimore again.
And uh Marilyn Mosby, the state's attorney, the mayor.
Uh it it's it's just it's absolute mess.
Crime is just out of control, running rampant.
The cops are sitting idly by not doing anything, which is what the administration wants them to do.
In fact, just a yeah, look at this summary here, just this is grudge report headlines.
Street anarchy in Baltimore, residents fearful amid rash of homicides, eight-year-old boy fatally shot in head.
Police say mobs are gathering around police officers when they respond to calls.
A Maryland sheriff said cops have been eviscerated and disemboweled.
That's true.
The cops have been blamed for all of this.
From Barack Obama down to Eric Holder down to Eric to Al Sharpton to Marilyn Mosby to the mayor.
You name it.
The cops starting in Ferguson.
Well, started before, but modern era Ferguson.
The cops, everybody's been told the cops are the reason all this crime is happening, because there really isn't any crime.
The people in Baltimore are peace-loving people and they don't commit crimes, it's just the cops making them do all this.
The cops are provoking all this stuff.
So the regime gets hold of the cops, pulls them back, new guidelines.
Six cops indicted, arrested, various degrees of murder and manslaughter.
City is supposed to say, see, we're looking out for you.
We got the bad cops off the street.
And ever since that happened, there's utter out of control crime in mayhem in Baltimore.
And the cops aren't involved.
The cops have been pulled out of the way.
Cops have been pulled out of sight.
And when the cops do show up, when it gets so bad that somebody has to show up and the cops do they're being surrounded, and they're all being videotaped by citizens.
So even in the midst of utter anarchy in Baltimore, the cops, the one group that's supposed to keep order and make things safe, property and people, when they show up in the midst of this, they are still surrounded and made to be the problem.
And people wonder.
Well, people wonder a lot of things, but this is just what common sense is behind this.
And even in the midst of this, the objective to still blame the cops for this.
Who's benefiting from this?
Who's benefiting from street anarchy in Baltimore?
Who's benefiting from the residents being fearful?
Who's benefiting from a rash of homicides that are going unreported?
Who benefits when an eight-year-old boy is fatally shot in the head?
Who benefits when the cops are surrounded by mobs of citizens when they respond to calls?
Who benefits when the cops have been eviscerated, disemboweled, and basically ordered out?
Who benefits from all this?
Somebody is, or it wouldn't be happening, folks.
Somebody is benefiting from this.
Otherwise it wouldn't be happening.
Now, common sense tells us common sense and just a modicum of a desire for civilization, basic civilization.
Basic sophistication would tell you that whatever it takes to stop this, move in and stop it, this isn't helpful to anybody, this kind of out-of-control crime, out-of-control anarchy, which by the way has been going on in Chicago for years now.
Most of that is black on black crime, so you can't talk about that.
That's when you start blaming the guns.
I'm out of the limb talking about it the way I'm talking about it.
You're not supposed to talk about this stuff.
Somebody's benefiting from this.
Now you may think, Rush, who in the world?
That's my question.
But somebody is or it wouldn't be happening.
This has been going on in Baltimore like this ever since those six cops were indicted.
That was supposed to stop this.
It's only gotten worse.
It's only gotten more intense.
Where is the show of force, the authority, the power that could stop this?
Who are they?
Well, you say it's the cops.
No, you say it's the cops, but it isn't the cops.
The cops have been blamed.
Six cops have been indicted for murder.
That's who you think is benefiting.
Also, the White House could stop it?
Obama?
What can he do?
Fly down there and have a meeting.
Of course not.
He doesn't go to these kind of neighborhoods.
He wouldn't be caught.
He wouldn't be seen going in there.
This is an abject failure of what Obama and the Democrat Party say they stand for.
They're not going to get anywhere near it.
Yet they might be the primary benefactors in this.
Now don't shake your head at that.
What's what are people going to demand?
They're going to demand what?
Exactly what Obama?
More federal control over it.
The more it's made to look like local officials are a bunch of idiots and incompetents and can't handle it.
You know, Obama once said that one of the most beautiful sounds in the world is the Muslim call to prayer every morning.
Well, the New York Times said that.
It was in the New York Times.
Well, I thought that may be the second most beautiful sound.
But I think the most beautiful sound in the morning in Washington is when any city calls Washington and begs for help.
When you basically beg the federal government to come in and fix a problem you can't deal with, primarily because the federal government's been the one that's presented you with the problem in the first place.
Which they have with these new silly guidelines on the behavior of cops and the structure of cops, the overall perception of cops.
If you're going to sit there and you're going to take city crime, and you're going to literally seriously blame the police departments across America for it, where do you go from there?
If the police departments are for it and then in the process, you, okay, let's pull the cops back.
So they're not seen because we're told that the cops in uniform, that's provocative.
That just that's that's like declaring war.
You've got to get the cops out of these people's eyes, and you get the cops out of there and they'll be nicer and they won't care, and they won't be provocative and they won't be violent.
Well, that's what Baltimore did.
And look what happens.
The exact opposite.
So now you say, okay, who should stop the cops?
The cops, the Maryland Sheriff is where they've been inviscerated.
The cops show up on a legitimate call, they're surrounded by citizens.
A mob, it is said, all of them with cell phones, video recording them.
No doubt, hoping to acquire evidence to charge them with misbehavior.
The cops.
I don't know what if I would do if I was a cop and was called to one of these scenes, given this circumstance it's happening.
Baltimore anywhere else.
Then when you hear the mayor speak, state attorney speak, you realize there's no competence there.
So it's kind of a lost situation.
And I just know this.
I don't know where the time is going.
We got to get into phone calls here pretty quickly.
I promise coming out of the break at the bottom of the hour here, we'll get straight to the phones.
Just one more thing.
There's actually a couple of more additions here to the uh to the Baltimore story, but let me do this one.
The headline, Baltimore Mayor snaps at Fox News reporter for asking questions.
Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake got into a war of words with a Fox News reporter who was asking about the high crime rate in Baltimore.
At her weekly news briefing on Wednesday, Rawlings Blake faced some tough questions about a surge in violent crime since the riots.
From Fox News reporter Leland Vidert, and she didn't like it.
While Rawlings Blake may not be accustomed to aggressive reporting, because reporters of the same political stripe do not pester liberal officeholders.
Vidert apparently did not let her attitude deter him from trying to find out why there has been an increase in crime.
He said, Is it because the police are doing less?
She said, Well, as I said before, there are lots of reasons why.
He said, Well, is that one of them?
I mean, arrests are down 50%, which is true, by the way.
Arrests are down 50% while crime is running rampant.
And the reason the arrests are down is because the cops have been portrayed as the problem there.
From Obama on down, from Eric Holder on Demper, Loretta Lynch on down from the ASA, the SA, the mayor.
They're all blaming the cops.
Ferguson, Missouri, they blame the cops.
Arrests are down 50%, the cops have gotten out of the way.
And at this point, when when Vitter of Fox News says it one of the reasons why arrests are down 50%, the mayor paused out of frustration.
I am not 100% sure what you're doing.
She didn't say, I'm not sure what you're asking, so I'm not sure what you're doing.
He said, I am a journalist.
I'm asking you, the mayor, some questions.
The mayor snapped back, you're not.
You're being rude, just like you were before.
So if you'd like to ask a question, give me an opportunity to answer.
We can do that.
Otherwise, I will end the conference.
Now, Vidert, Leland Viddert was the first to report that the mayor told Baltimore cops to stand down against the rioters, saying let them loot.
It's only property.
He's the first to report that she has repeatedly denied that she said that.
But honestly, folks, you know what this is?
She's not used to questioning.
She goes out and does a press conference, the media rubber stamps it.
She's not used to having to explain herself.
Very few liberals are.
I mean, here you have it.
They've arrested and indicted six cops to end the riots.
They've pulled the cops out of the way on the theory the cops are the problem.
Arrests are down 50%, and crime is up across the board, and he says, why?
And she doesn't have an answer.
Well, she doesn't dare tell the truth about the answer.
We have the audio here of Leland Vidert trying to get news out of the uh answers out of the mayor of Baltimore.
Uh this is yesterday during a press conference, the mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake, and Vidert's opening question, is crime rising in Baltimore because the police are doing less?
There are a lot of reasons why.
Is that one of them?
There's we're examining all of them.
Arrests are down 50%.
Please let her finish.
I'm not a hundred percent sure what you're doing.
Um this is a very orderly uh press conference that we normally hold.
We don't I don't your tactics asking a question.
You're not.
You're being rude, just as you were before.
So if you'd like to ask a question and give me an opportunity to answer it, we can do this.
Otherwise, I'll end the conference.
I don't know if you were able to hear all of that, but there was something that happened that I answered that that uh is not reported in the story about this.
So he asks her, is crime rising in Baltimore because the police are doing less?
She said, There are a lot of reasons why.
He says, Is that one of them?
She said, There's we're examining all of those.
Vidert, arrests are down 50 percent.
Unidentified reporter.
Could you please let her finish?
When is the last time you have ever seen that?
When is the last time?
He was not interrupting her.
Get that bite ready to play again.
He's trying to extract information for crying out loud, she's the mayor.
She's used to kid gloves, and a reporter comes along and chimes in to Vidert.
Could you please let her finish?
And then she says, I don't know what you're doing.
I'm not, I'm not unfortunate what you're doing.
This is a very orderly press conference that we normally held, which basically means I come out here and I tell you whatever I want to tell you, and you reporters write it down and leave.
And you do not question me.
We don't.
I don't.
Your your tactics are I'm just asking a question, he said.
What do you mean tactics?
You're not.
You're being rude, just as you were before.
So if you'd like to ask a question, give me an opportunity to answer it, we can do this.
Otherwise, I'll end the conference.
He's trying to get her to answer a very important question.
Is crime rising in Baltimore because the police are doing less?
Well, there are lots of reasons why.
Well, is that one of them?
Well, we're examining all of those.
Arrests are down 50%.
And then the reporter, could you stop interrupting her?
Could you let her finish?
Now lit now that you know everything in it, listen to it one more time.
And let's see if Vidert is rude.
Let's see if it sounds like he will not let her finish anything.
There are a lot of reasons why.
Is that one of them?
There's we're examining all of the arrests are down 50 percent.
I'm not a hundred percent sure what you're doing.
Um, this is a very orderly uh press conference that we normally held.
We don't I don't your your tactics.
I'm just asking a question.
You're not.
You're being rude, just as you were before.
So if you'd like to ask a question and give me an opportunity to answer.
Okay, so here's what's what this is.
Otherwise, here you have a sheltered, protected liberal mayor who's sheltered and protected on a lot of levels.
Okay.
She's sheltered and protected because she's a woman, and maybe sheltered and protected because she's African American.
And so she's she has been given and she's come to expect different treatment.
Let's be honest.
She has.
But now here's somebody from out of town.
Not a national guy in town.
Fox News channel now.
This is not local, supplicant, accepting, snivelling, accomplice local media.
This is somebody who's trying to get some answers here.
The city is on fire, the city's out of control.
After we've all been told steps were taken to stop this.
It's getting worse.
Here's a guy from out of town trying to find out why.
It's obvious that she has been sheltered in such ways that she has not been forced, she has not faced questions like this, and she thinks it's insubordination to somebody to ask her.
She thinks it's rude.
She thinks it's grounds for shutting down the press conference, because this guy is not, he's not asking questions.
He's rude.
What that means is this guy is trying to show me up.
This guy's trying to make me look bad.
And no mayor, you've got that handled all on your own.
And so does most everybody else that's involved in this whole episode.
This is it's sad to watch this.
I mean, on the one hand, you've got common sense over here on the other hand, no common sense and no common sense is dominating.
But be honest, did did you I don't I don't want to be the only judge here.
Miss Sturdley was the reporter.
Did he sound rude to you?
Did he sound pushy to you?
Did he sound uh anyway biased?
Did he sound like you're trying to humiliate her?
Did he sound like he was refusing to let her answer?
It sounded like he really wanted some information to me.
In fact, Leland Vidert is pretty tame compared to what Republican candidates get.
Yes, she is.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Somebody just shouted at me, very rudely, I might add, or my IFB here, that she's not a damsel in distress.
Yes, she that's exactly it.
That's exactly how she was seen during this by that local report.
Would you let her finish?
Can you please let her she is, she was a damsel in distress, and she thought of herself as a damsel in distress.
Partially.
I mean, maybe not damsel.
She she doesn't she doesn't think she's lost the power bear, obviously.
She has power over the guy.
That's what she doesn't like.
He's not respecting her power.
He's not respecting her position.
He's not respecting it.
She's the final authority.
He's not respecting her, period.
He's dissing her.
You know what happens when that happens.
It's uh folks, it's a tragedy.
This is happening in an American city.
Yeah, in the old days, if somebody would have told me there's also something good in this, I might have agreed.
But I don't think so anymore.
Okay, what's good in it?
You tell me, what's good in this?
What it's gonna show.
What do you mean the police are not taking it anymore?
The pol what are the police doing.
I mean, okay.
The the commun the community, that's the point of all this.
The community wants the police to get blamed.
The police have been blamed.
Six of them have been indicted on various charges of manslaughter and murder.
That act alone was supposed to quell the riots.
The state attorney went out there and Dumped all over the cops, and she spoke right to all the protesters, no justice, no peace.
She spoke their language, she made it plain she was doing their bidding and was gonna do their bidding even in a courtroom.
It didn't mollify them, did it?
It didn't mollify them one bit.
Because now crime, murder, rampant gunfire is up across the board.
Arrests are down 50%.
The cops have been blamed by the DOJ, by the state's attorney Mosby, by the mayor, by Al Sh by the media, by everybody who commented.
The cops were said to be to blame.
And so the police commissioner there has been told by the Department of Justice you've got to pull back because it's your presence that's the prompts.
The cops have pulled back.
The unrest continues and it's become more intense and it increases in volume.
The cops do show up now and then they don't answer every call now.
They're rests are obviously 50% down.
But even when the cops show up, they're not looked at as a positive sign.
They're not looked at as a positive step to stop it.
The cops show up even now, and they are surrounded by citizens.
They're surrounded by a mob, videotaping them with their phones, hoping to get them on tape, doing something that they can accuse them of police brutality or whatever.
What do you mean that the nobody's learning anything from this?
I'm telling you, I'm telling you think the citizens in Baltimore are learning that they need the cops.
I re that's what I do not see.
Now, maybe some of them are, but the ones showing up and surrounding them on the street and videotaping them, and that's who's defining how what takes place there.
The people, peaceful people at home who wish the cops would get back on duty are not affecting things.
The mob is affecting things.
The mob is keeping the cops away.
When the cops show up, the mob surrounds the cops.
If you're a cop in that situation, you're surrounded and you've got 60 cell phones aimed at you.
What are you going to do?
Nothing.
Or as little as you can.
I'm asking you who benefits from this.
I know that sounds like a very, very, very rough question, but it's got to be asked here because for some reason, steps are not being taken to stop this, folks.
Unless I'm missing something, I I mean, I'm not there.
There could be things going on, but I if steps are being taken to stop it, they're pretty ineffective.
Yeah, I know.
This whole section was supposed to be phone calls.
I know.
And to the phones we go, we're going to start with Nick in Chicago, and I appreciate your waiting.
Great to have you here.
Hello, sir.
Hi, Rush, big fan of yours.
I'd love to jump back to a point you made earlier in the show regarding the lawsuit that's going out with the Obamacare subsidies.
Yeah.
And earlier this week, you started on Tuesday saying that the left is going that you're a big brainwasher, and that anybody who listens to your show is of such mind.
And I'd like to make a point in saying that as a 21-year-old conservative male, I'm being taken advantage of by the Obamacare system.
And unfortunately, the left is brainwashing school children, college students alike.
I think this could be a positive uh option for the Republican Party.
I don't understand why they would be scared of this lawsuit.
If we do get a chance to prove that Obamacare and their subsidies aren't unconstitutional, I think it would give us a chance down the line to show that the whole system itself is unconstitutional.
Oh, man, nobody benefits from it.
Do I love youth?
Do I I I I I have to tell you your attitude on this is so refreshing.
You said you're 21.
That's right.
All right.
That means you are not yet tainted.
You have not yet become jaundice.
You still are bright-eyed and open-eyed and optimistic about the Republican Party and its chances.
And I want to applaud you.
Because you, your attitude about this is exactly right.
You see The possibility that a Supreme Court could rule a practic the guts of Obamacare, unconstitutional, and you see nothing but an opportunity.
You see a golden opportunity to educate people.
You think you know the Republican Party's going to step up and do it, but you see an opportunity to get two people who've been brainwashed about the greatness and goodness and infallibility of government.
Here's an opportunity to show people they can do much better pr uh uh depending on themselves, and you think it's a great opportunity for the Republican Party, but I'm here to tell you they do not see it that way.
And I'll tell you what, the Republican Party needs more people like you in it.
The Republican Party needs an infusion of young, optimistic, untainted, unjaundic people.
Because let me tell you, the Republican Party's view of this, and I I'm not comfortable well, it's not that I'm uncomfortable pointing it out.
I'm I it it it it it saddens me.
The Republican Party, because Washington is the center of the political universe, everybody there has lost touch with people like you.
Everybody there has lost touch with daily life in America.
And as such, the Republican Party's primary concern is for people receiving welfare benefits and entitlements.
They are afraid of what'll happen to them electorally if that group of people has things taken away from them.
The Republican Party that you think exists is not interested right now in pushing the conservative ideals of self-responsibility, self-reliant self-reliability, self-reliance, uh uh uh rising tide lifting all boats.
They're not they're not imbued with that right now, and they need to be.
They're overwhelmed.
I call it post-traumatic stress disorder after decades of media attacks and media bombs going off in their faces right next to their ears.
And they're just they're gun shy.
They're afraid of they're afraid of battle.
Of my generation, the Obamacare is a positive thing.
I can't tell you how many times I've got people sitting there going, but Obama, he's got health care for everybody.
I go, yeah, but who around this table pays for their health care?
And everybody's hand kind of goes down on that.
And when you have a six thousand dollar deductible and you're paying eighty bucks a month for it, it makes you a little concerned for your income and and what you're spending.
Yeah, but see, even using your example, it's a great one because the the Republicans are hearing the complaints of your friends.
Your friends, if I read right, if I heard you right, you said your friends, oh, but Obama's great because health care for everybody, what what was it you said?
Yeah, that that uh everybody's covered.
Universal health coverage.
Yeah, and and people your age like that think Obama's a great guy for providing it, right?
Absolutely.
Right.
Well, the Republican Party is afraid of angering them.
Nick, the Republican Party wants those people to vote for them, but they're afraid of saying or doing anything that will anger people like your friends, because they think there's no way they'll ever vote for them.
So they've got to pander to them.
And so right now the Republican Party is is worried.
If they win this case, they're worried, because that means subsidies would go away.
And the Republicans are at this moment trying to figure out a way to keep the subsidies alive, Nick.
In other words, keep Obamacare alive even after, if it happens, a Supreme Court would rip the guts out of it.
You see it as an opportunity, I see it as an opportunity.
A whole host of millions of Americans see it as an opportunity.
And we're all frustrated as we can be.
That's why people like you, and there are some need to be in the Republican Party.
Absolutely.
Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, people like that look at this exactly the way you do, and look at what happens to them, Nick.
Media's out to destroy them, even some Republicans are out to destroy them.
Yeah.
Let me ask you a quick question here.
There's no wrong answer.
I just just I just want to know what you think about something.
Chamber of Commerce, do you associate to Chamber of Commerce as being a uh uh a lobbying group or is an institution that is more Republican and conservative than it is liberal Democrat.
You know what?
If you asked me a few years ago, I would have told you one thing, but unfortunately now the way it's all going, everybody's so scared of their own shadow, they're just trying to cater somewhere in the middle, keep their values in a certain place, but still cater to the opposite side, and it's disappointing.
Very good, because the left has taken over the chamber like most everything else.
And where people think the chamber's this big right-wing conservative organ, no way anymore.
Chambers out pushing the interests of the Democrat Party.
Under the guise of being Republicans, it's a corrupting influence and agent.
And it's like a lot of people think that all rich people are Republicans, and all CEOs are Republicans.
Maybe used to be, not anymore.
That's what we get after on a daily basis.
Am I a rich person?
Why am I a Republican?
I said, no, I'm just a person who believes in keeping what I earn and not sharing it.
I tell you, the the long knife is going to be out for you, Nick, but hang in there and know you always have a friend here on this program and in this audience.
Do not let them bully you.
All right, we got our phone call in.
Progress.
We actually got a call in, and we're gonna get more.
You hang in there and be tough, my friends, because we still have two hours of stuff left to do in one hour.
