Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, we alluded to it on Friday, and here it is.
We are starting our 28th year.
Right here on the I'm waiting for the door to open here for the staff to defy my requests and bop in here with a cake or a giant cookie or something.
I know they're out there playing because I don't see them.
There's nobody other side of glass.
Here the doors open.
Here they come.
Yes, sir, right on schedule.
May as well do it now before we get started with anything, folks.
There's only two people here today.
Everybody else took the day off.
So look at that.
It's a giant cookie.
Yeah.
Happy 27th anniversary.
Holy smokes.
That's a nice change up from a cake.
It really is.
Happy anniversary.
Thank you.
I'd like to hold this up and show you about the candles that fall off and start a fire here.
There's uh six of them.
So I got the same thing with the birthday, gonna blow them out.
Okay.
I don't know what my lung capacity is now with my heavy cigar usage over the course of many years.
Let's uh you know I just predicted you guys to be coming in here.
You know, I didn't see you on the other side of glass, and I told them.
A what stick?
A selfie stick.
What?
So you could take selfie pictures with.
Oh, a selfie stick.
A selfie.
That's cool.
That's really cool.
I've never taken a selfie.
So never have.
But no, I have once, with me and the cat.
That's right.
Okay.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Woo!
Yay!
All right.
Done.
By the way, I don't normally do that, but since this is radio, you gotta do the sound effects, so you all know what's happening.
Thank you so much.
Sophie stick looks like a back scratcher, too.
Looks like it would work for that.
Anyway, folks, uh, 28 years.
Actually, August 1st, the anniversary date, 27 years in the can.
We're starting our 28th year today.
Uh and it's gonna be regular program.
We're not digging deep.
We're not going back to the archives.
It's an odd year.
We'll wait for number 30 uh, as we did for number 20.
And we had a you know, a half-baked look back on um on year 25.
But how many shows in any medium have stayed on top as number one for 27 years?
Not even Gunsmoke pulled that off, or the Ed Sullivan show, not even the New York Yankees have uh have managed that.
And of course, wouldn't have happened without all of you.
Not some of you, any of you, but all of you.
So a uh heartfelt thanks as we join together and getting ready to go for our 28th year.
Here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
Big Republican presidential debate coming up, I guess it's Thursday, August the 6th.
We have 16 candidates, but only room for 10 people.
And polling data is being used to determine the 10 people.
However, and this would be somewhat predictable.
Since polling data is being used, and since you and I all know that polling data can be used to shape public opinion rather than reflect it.
And it's a rolling average, it's an average of a number of polls.
It's not just one poll.
The Fox News poll counts, but there's some other polls that get rolled into this, and they all get averaged out.
And as has happened, NBC's got a poll.
By the way, Marist.
I should point this out first.
Marist said we're we're not gonna play in this.
We're not gonna participate in this.
We don't want to have anything to do with who ends up on that stage and who doesn't.
Now, Marist occasionally polls with NBC, sometimes with others, but but they're saying we're not we're not engaged in this.
We're not gonna submit our polls to the conglomeration of polls with the rolling average because we don't we don't want to make public opinion, we want to reflect it.
Hardy harha chuckle chuckle.
It's actually a pretty good PR move on their part to say so.
But for example, what do you do as has happened?
Let's say NBC wants certain people not on that stage.
And let's say that NBC is participating In the conglomeration of polls from which a rolling average will determine the top ten.
Okay, let's say that uh NBC goes out and does a, which they've done, I think, a poll of 300 people with a margin of error plus or minus six.
And let's say, just to pick a name, let's say they don't want Rick Perry on the stage.
You think they could present a poll that shows Perry barely registering in a sample of 300 people?
Uh, or or take anybody else.
Now, they're the the top tier they couldn't do much about.
I mean, they're gonna be able to keep Trump or Jeb, uh, Walker, these people out, but they can keep Carly Fiorina out if they try.
They could keep Rick Perry out.
They could, they could uh probably keep Huckabee out if they wanted to.
This is the this is the problem with this.
And people have been asking me, I played golf yesterday, boy, did I have fun.
Well, I just I hit some incredible shots.
I'm really feeling jazzed about it because it was just a month ago, I thought I had lost my game.
I even told you people here I'd lost it, and I had.
I couldn't hit anything.
A strange game.
But I was in the golf course yesterday, and some people were asking me about uh Trump.
Trump is really coming on popularity among the crowd I play golf with.
These are establishment Republican types.
These are the people that run around and complain to me about abortion and social issues.
You know, why not the Republicans just stop talking about it?
I hit that all the time.
These people are all excited about Trump.
And uh big fear was well, you think Donald would actually go independent, meaning third party.
So I don't know.
We're just gonna sit back here and watch this.
I have no idea what is going to happen, where this is all headed.
Well, how do you think Donald's gonna do in the debate?
And I said, now there I have an opinion.
Now, Trump has set this up pretty well in terms of his uh performance on the debate.
What's he out there saying?
He said, I don't debate.
You know, I'm a guy that gets things done.
I tell everybody what to do and they go do it.
I make decisions and we make things happen.
I don't sit around and debate all day.
That's all these guys do.
That's all these guys do is debate.
Well, I I'm I I'm not good at it.
I don't debate anybody there in anybody else's opinion that matters in mine.
So he set up expectations that maybe he's not going to do well in this kind of format, because this kind of format requires deference to the others.
This kind of format, actually a better word, it's formula.
This kind of formula requires deference, it requires politeness, it requires manners, it requires adhering to the rules of how much time everybody gets.
And I wouldn't be surprised, and of course I have no first-hand knowledge, because I don't talk to these people about this stuff.
I'm I'm not, and never have been somebody wants to be wired in.
I'm I'm an observer.
You know, I I some people have criticized me for this.
You realize how close you could get some of these people, you realize they take your phone call.
Yeah, but I've no interest.
I just never have been interested in cultivating insider type relationships with these people.
I don't know why.
Um just always viewed myself as an outsider observer.
And there's many fewer problems that way, by the way.
You know, the closer you get to these people, the more you end up liking them or disliking them, whichever's the case.
And when you end up liking it, it becomes even harder to criticize them.
When they get elected to high office, it's not as easy to keep your distance.
And the president calls you go, for example, vice president calls, you go.
But a candidate calls, and you take the option not even taking the call, which I do frequently.
And I know that I'm weird this way compared to others, so-called in the media.
But I just I just like to have my distance.
And as close to objective uh observation as I can get.
So I don't know anything here.
I I I've talked to nobody at Fox.
I don't know the first thing about this debate other than when it is.
And beyond, I don't know how long it's scheduled ago.
I don't know about the format.
I'm just like, I'm just gonna sit around, I'm just gonna wait for it and watch it.
But I do have some theories.
And if you look at Trump and the way he's doing what he's doing and why he's doing what he's doing, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Trump's objective is to blow up this whole format because it's predictable.
It's stale.
I mean, ten people on a stage, and everybody gets, I don't know what it is, three minutes, and then 30 seconds to reply, and then if somebody attacks you, you get 15 and a half seconds to defend yourself, or whatever it is, and I think at some point Trump's just gonna say how stupid he thinks this is, and how unproductive he thinks this is, and how basically what a waste of time.
He won't say that because he's there.
But he'll talk about how it's not productive toward choosing a candidate, that it just muddies the waters and it doesn't give anybody enough time to do anything, and there's no way that all ten people can personally interact with each other.
Then you've got the moderators trying to intersect and interject and keep control of the thing, and trying to make names for themselves too, even though they deny that.
Whoever the moderators are, they're gonna be trying to get good publicity when it's over by credit for asking the right questions or policing the thing well.
And I just I wouldn't be surprised if if Trump, I don't know at the outset, but at some point, uh maybe after he thinks he scored a big point.
I don't think he would do this if he thinks he's not doing well.
I think we'd only do something like this from a position of perceived strength.
He would basically start lamb-basing the whole format and say, you know what?
This is what's wrong with trusing the president.
What has this got to do with anything?
We're all up here, everybody knows that nine out of ten of these people ain't not going anywhere.
What are we doing here?
This is crazy.
All we're gonna do for two or three hours here is tell everybody how rotten each other is is crazy.
It's not gonna matter a hill of beans at the end of the day.
What are we wasting our time here for?
Making TV ratings for other people.
Something like this.
I mean, that would be in character.
And how many people do you think would stand up and go right on?
Now I know this debate coming up Thursday, probably going to be a record setter, ratings-wise, for a whole host of reasons, all of them predictable and understandable.
But at the same time, what people in the Republican Party know is that when these debates are all said and done, what happens?
A Northeastern liberal moderate establishment candidate gets the nomination.
And if not a Northeastern liberal, then a an Arizona moderate or liberal.
But an establishment candidate gets it.
And the conservative candidates all seem to winnow themselves out.
And I just I don't see Trump as front and center as he is, as dominating as he is, willingly permit himself to be seen as an equal among ten.
By shutting up when he's supposed to shut up, by not speaking when he's not supposed to speak, by I just I wild guess, and I'm not saying any of it's gonna be disrespectful.
I'm saying it's gonna be like everything else he's doing in the campaign, it's gonna be fresh.
It's gonna be new, it's gonna be to use the cliche, a breath of fresh air.
And people are gonna be applauding it, except the drive-bys and the establishment media, who when it's over are gonna wring their hands and worry about what does this mean for our politics?
Because some are gonna accuse it of incivility of breaking down or what have you, if my predictions right here.
Because the formula is everything to the drive-bys, the formula is everything to the establishment, because they control it.
And that's one thing Trump is not controllable, particularly when it comes to the establishment.
So it could be fireworks.
And if if Trump, by the way, he's out there saying, hey, you know what?
I don't debate.
I make decisions.
I'm a guy that gets things done.
I don't sit around and talk all day.
That's what these guys do.
Okay, so he's one and he set himself up lowering expectations to not do well.
But I don't I don't think that's really in the cards not doing well.
Um course we could see, you know, Trump, Trump may be one of these people, and we'll just have to find out.
But when he's the only one on stage, he owns it and is totally confident, and all the things that go with that, if he's on the stage with ten people, has to share it.
Who knows?
Is he still as dominant?
Is he as uh does he own the stage like he does when he is singular focus stage?
All of this remains to be seen.
But I just I just don't see this thing on Thursday night being standard ordinary predictable candidate debate that we have all become accustomed to, which is basically a moderated long form Sunday show, and the guests instead of newsmakers during the week are candidates, and they get questions.
I mean, let's face it, the moderators run the debate.
The moderators determine what's discussed, unless a candidate or two decides to reach out and take control of the whole thing, him or herself, which say hello, Trump, that's what he does.
So we will just have to see.
But that's that's what I told the people that asked me yesterday what I expect in the debate.
If this, if I'm wrong, and if this comes off as your normal everyday standard run of the mill candidate debate, perfectly formatted, perfectly formulaic, with hardly any fireworks doing it.
going to be considered a yawner and a ho-hummer and when it's all over the establishment media is going to claim that their establishment candidates did the best.
That's another thing Trump has to consider too.
As a lone wolf candidate, as a guy who is busting out of formulas and is not being contained by them, He almost is it's incumbent upon him to step out.
Uh and somehow control not what happens, not only what happens during the debate, but the message afterwards.
Because the drive-by analysis of what happened will be, I don't know, as but pretty close to important as what happens during because not everybody's going to see it.
Not everybody's going to watch it.
And so the way it's reported afterwards, and the last thing Trump wants is for the post-debate analysis to be.
Donald Trump was also on stage and was heard from, said X, Y, and Z, but the last thing Trump wants is that he was just one of the gang.
Just one of the ten.
So it's it's it's bound to be fireworks of some kind.
It has to be.
And the real question for me is are the other nine ready for what may be headed their way?
We'll find out.
It's only a few short days away.
You remember that guy in Seattle that owned the credit card processing firm gravity payments.
Remember this guy, Dan Price, I think was the meeting.
Dan Price, he made news back in April by announcing he was making a million dollars a year plus as the CEO.
And he made a big announcement to a lot of fanfare, saying that he had made a major decision.
He read somewhere that $70,000 a year is the magic number for an employee to make.
At $70,000 a year, you can pay your monthly bills.
You can buy a car, have a decent house, or place to rent, and disposable income left over.
So he made the decision that every one of his employees was going to be paid $70,000 a year, including him.
He was going to take a pay cut from million plus down to $70,000 a year.
And depending on, oops, I just saw the clock.
Gee whiz.
This segment's going to be short, folks.
I apologize I went way long in the opening monologue, but this guy Dan Price, it was a lot of people, what a great guy.
Wow!
This is a guy who gets it.
You know, the left is out there always talking about the inequality in what CEOs make versus what their grunt employees make.
So this guy came along and he bought into that and he heard that 70 grand a year was a magic number for employees.
Everybody could live comfortably on that with no stress or at least as little stress as possible.
And he just made it across the board.
And in addition to people who praised it, oh wow, what a great guy.
Equality of a corporation and the command is this guy get it.
There were some uh including me who said this is gonna bomb it's gonna bomb in ways this guy hasn't even factored it's not gonna help his business.
It's not gonna lead to a happy unified focused workforce it's gonna be divisive.
It's gonna create resentments it's gonna create all kinds of problems and at the end of whatever test period if there is one it isn't gonna work.
Well Mr. Price has come forward to announce that it was a disaster exactly as I and others predicted greetings welcome back El Rushbow starting our 28th year behind the golden EIB microphone.
Great to have you with us by the way Joe Biden is it's looking serious and I don't think there's any doubt about it.
Uh once once we learned after his son passed away once they leaked the news that on his deathbed the son of Joe Biden Bo Biden urged his father to run.
We kind of knew uh that it was coming and it looks like it is also just to show you how unsettled the Democrat side is and there there's apparently big time panic finally should have been there a long time settling in regarding Hillary because now there's news out there that the Starbucks CEO is being urged to run.
Howard Schultz used to own the Seattle Supersonics of the NBA, urging him to run.
And, of course, Bernie Sanders is out there just drawing huge crowds wherever he goes.
Meanwhile, there's absolutely no excitement whatsoever attached to the Hillary campaign.
So there's a great state of flux on the Democrat side.
Now, one thing that...
have to keep in mind with the Democrats the drive by media never I don't care what they report they never report the depths of problems in the Democrat Party.
If you ever see the drive by media talking about consternation or angst or whatever it is in a Democrat Party, they'll write about it as though it's insignificant, natural normal what have you just to be able to write about it.
But you will never ever hear anywhere near the truth how bad things are in the bowels of the Democrat Party.
And believe me, there is abject panic there in a lot of places particularly in the in the Hillary campaign and among Hillary supporters this is again not how it was supposed to be Hillary makes her announcements how many times is she announced now three I mean that shows you right there two or three announcements and that was supposed to be it.
That was the message to all the other Democrats not your turn sit down shut up and wait.
It's Hillary's turn we are readying the coronation and it's not just as it didn't in 2008 it's not playing out.
Now we'll get back to Dan Price and his um credit card company gravity payments because it's a teachable moment.
But I have some phone calls up here that I actually don't understand.
I've got I got two people who think A I'm missing the point on Trump and another thinks I'm wrong about something I'm totally befuddled here.
So I'm gonna find out Marshall North Carolina Linda says here that you uh you disagree with me about that Trump's gonna do great Thursday.
What what did I What do you think I said?
Hi, Russ.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I was fine until I read what you were going to say up front.
I think that uh Donald, the Donald, has made a tremendous impact.
And I'm so happy he's he's in this just to open people's eyes and have them listen.
And I think he's gonna do great in the debates.
I really do.
I think I think he's uh I think you're I think he's gonna do really great.
I think he's gonna answer questions.
I think he's gonna be ready for them.
He's a way to talk off the cuff.
Well wait a minute.
What what you you think that I said that I don't think he's gonna do well?
No, no, no.
I think you said didn't you say something like you think if he if he thinks he makes a point he's gonna blow the place up.
Did you say something like that?
Uh w well, all I was talking about, I think Trump's gonna be Trump, and I've and if he is, we're not gonna recognize this debate.
That's not a criticism.
My my I was trying I was I was not criticizing Trump a boy, this is I'll tell you what, folks, this is shaping up like Perot 2.
You say one thing about this guy, and here come his defenders, left or not.
I you know, I admire you, Linda.
I really know what because you want a man as a woman.
I want a man who's going to speak his mind.
Not I'm not a politician who's worried about what he says right or wrong.
You know, I don't care if you say something wrong.
Just say it.
Say what you mean.
And I believe Trump is a good thing.
Oh, but not he's a Democrat or a public.
I don't care about any of that.
I just say that he's bringing it.
I gotcha.
You and Mark Cuban.
You're what Mark Cuban said?
No.
Mark Cuban says, I don't care what he thinks.
I don't care what he believes.
I just admire a guy that's willing to tell us what he thinks.
It's the truth.
You don't care what he thinks.
And I think that that it's gotten more people to listen, to open their eyes a little bit and hear what's really going on.
I don't have people that don't even know what's going on.
They've heard him say something like, wow, is this the truth?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Next next question.
Yes.
I'm serious.
There's no wrong answer here.
Do not interpret, misinterpret any tone in my voice.
I'm genuinely curious.
What did I say in my expert analysis and prediction that made you mad?
Or that made you think I don't get it, or that made you think I'm wrong.
What did I say?
Seriously, why what did I say that made you pick up the phone a call?
Well, I well, I've been trying to call you for weeks.
But anyway, um I uh you said something like Trump is gonna be, you know, quiet, he's gonna go along with everything.
And then if he feels like he's on point with something, he's gonna just blow the place up and say, What are we doing this for?
What are we having these debates for?
This is not this is not how you pick a president.
And granted, it's not.
And it really isn't.
You just you just hear politicians speak up.
Wait a minute.
Saying that made you mad.
No, it didn't make me mad.
It just gave me another reason to call you.
I've been dying to talk to you.
Okay.
On so many points.
Fine.
Let me just reiterate.
I was I um none of what I said was intended to be criticism of Trump.
It was intended to be predictive.
I was simply I'm telling you what I think is gonna happen.
I do not see Trump sitting there, standing there passively, waiting his turn, following a formula that is boring and dull and stilted by virtue of the fact that Trump, when he's on the stage, it's his.
He owns it.
This is not a criticism, it's an analysis.
And and I just I I I think he thinks there's a lot wrong with the country, and I think he thinks what part of what's wrong is the way we elect candidates.
The way we elect presidents.
He's already said he's not excited about this.
Uh and I know there's psychologically uh psychology here at play.
He's out there saying, you know what, I I'm not a doer.
I I don't debate.
I don't sit around and talk about things.
I tell people what to do, and they go do it, and if they don't do it, I fire them.
I don't sit around and debate these other guys, that's all they do.
They sit around and talk all the time.
I'm not a talker, I'm a doer.
Well, to me, that tells me he's not gonna sit around and just stand around talk all night like all these other guys do.
He's got to continue to stand out the way he has up to now.
And he's not gonna be able to do that by following the format.
Nothing wrong with that.
Not being critical of that.
I'm just trying to give you a heads up my take on what's coming.
And it could be all wrong.
He could be a model citizen up there.
Polite, deferential, and speak no more than any of the other candidates.
But if that happens, you're gonna be scratching your head and say, what happened?
My guess.
Here's Jim in uh Claremont, Florida.
Hi, Jim, you're next.
Hello, sir.
Hello.
Um my point is uh first off, I agree with what you said, but I think that you missed one of the points, and that is Trump has a huge advantage going into this if he takes it.
That is he can fall back on the fact that you folks created the mess.
You folks were the ones who were elected to fix things.
And and I've never held had that position.
You know Mr. Bush, are you gonna tell me that Florida is fixed while you were governor?
Mr. Perry, are you gonna tell me that Texas is fixed while you're that's that's why people are are upset.
That's why people don't want you people anymore.
Okay.
You're saying in different words, the same thing I'm saying.
He's going to go up there, he's not going to play ball, he's not one of these guys, and he's not gonna act like it.
He's gonna do something or a series of things to stand out.
And the standard ordinary everyday format of these things, which is dull and boring and predictable and dominated by moderators, I think is gonna be blown to smithereens.
And since he is running against the establishment and everybody in politics, I mean he's already called a series of these guys losers or dumb or silly.
He's already exposed.
Yeah, these guys, they all came to my office begging for my money.
They all came to my office begging my support.
So yeah, that that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I just I don't see Donald Trump becoming one of these guys.
This is gonna be a debate unlike we've seen before.
It's not a criticism.
Uh now uh you know the standard ordinary uh procedure for something like this, get given your theory and you're right that he has a huge advantage in that he shows up with a huge lead.
Do you know how the establishment would deal with that?
You know what the theory in current politics is.
And it happens to be, by the way, practiced a lot in the National Football League.
It's uh it's called don't take any risks.
You're sitting on a big lead.
The theory is all you can do is blow it, so don't blow it.
It's called a prevent defense.
The standard ordinary standard operating procedure, show up one of these things, the big lead, don't blow it.
Don't say anything that could cause yourself to lose your lead, be damaged or whatever.
And that's what we're not gonna see.
We're not gonna see Trump sitting on his lead and playing defense and hoping not to make somebody mad or hoping not to step in it or not to whatever.
But that's the way normal people play it.
Show the big lead and just sit on it.
Make sure you leave with the big lead.
Seldom is the attitude when you show up with a big lead, let's make it even bigger.
And that's who Trump is.
I mean, I have no doubt that he's gonna take this occasion to do what he can to eliminate as many of these guys in one debate as he can.
But he's not gonna be able to do that following the format.
I'm not being critical when I say that.
I have to take a break.
Don't go away.
All right, let me grab one more of these.
Get them in the can here.
This is Daniel in Coronado, California.
Beautiful place.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Russ, thanks for having me, long time.
Um quick class of my comment on Trump is uh I want to believe that he supports these conservative ideas he's kind of putting out there, but I am not totally sold yet.
I'm hoping he'll blow things up in a way that somebody like a Scott Walker, uh, Ted Cruz, uh Rubio kinda and encourage them to break out of his boring political mode and really go on the attack, go after Obama,
Clinton, uh, Biden, because I think he's gonna jump in and throw a wrench at Clinton and really kind of pull the true conservatives out and uh use it as a way instead of burying conservatives from the conservatives to bury the Republican the establishment uh hopefully so I I'm kinda I'm really excited to watch I usually don't put a lot of stock in debates because they're so blah.
But I'm really hoping uh this one has some fireworks and the conservatives, the walker or cruise or somebody can really come out swinging.
You think uh Ted Cruz needs to come out of his shell a little I d I don't I I just don't think he gets the the press that Trump does uh and I'm hopefully together uh I mean when Cruz I've never donated to any political campaign.
And when Cruz came out and called McConnell a liar, first thing I did was I walked into his website and I donated.
I can only give him a little bit, but that's what I want.
He's one of my favorites.
But I'm just hoping...
Well, let me just tell you, you bring up Cruz, the evil Koch brothers.
I say that humorously.
They're not evil.
They're nice people.
They had one of their annual get-togethers, I think out in California over the weekend.
Some of the prospective Republican candidates were there, and I'm told that Ted Cruz owned it.
That he had the most charismatic appearance on stage, most dominant, comfortable in his own skin.
Just owned it.
Was confident.
And apparently just blew up this whole idea of man-made global warming.
Which, you know, folks, this is terrible.
Obama is fulfilling a promise that we highlighted on audio tape before he got elected.
His intention of putting the coal business out of business.
The coal industry out of business.
He is doing it.
He's literally doing it.
All under the guise that we've got to do something about climate change.
And Cruz exposed it.
He exposed it from top to bottom.
He told everybody in attendance exactly what the game is.
Starts out in the 70s with a coming ice age.
And that wasn't going to work out.
Then they turned it into global warming.
And then it stopped getting warmer.
So now they've turned it to climate change.
And that's brilliant because whenever anything's odd, they can chalk it up to climate change.
You get a lot of rain, climate change.
If it gets cold, you call it climate change.
When it gets really hot, you call it climate change.
Tornado, call it climate change.
Anything above.
and beyond a normal sunny day is now climate change.
When it's common there there isn't anything it happens in weather that is unique anymore.
Everything has already happened countless times but these people get a chance to expose it as climate and and young people are eating it up.
I mean they're buying it swallowing it hook line and sinker and Obama is now headfirst into putting the coal business out of business exactly as he promised to do it.
So this is this is really serious stuff.
I don't know if you heard this or not and I found out about about this at all places while reading my tech blogs apparently they lit up the Empire State Building in New York City recently with pictures of animals that are dying out species that are ending.
And you ought to see these young people in these blogs eating every syllable of it up because a dentist went and hunted a lion we are now facing the end of all lions and because a hunter went and hunted a giraffe we're now facing the end of all giraffes it is amazing the way young people are being lured in and sucked into all this stuff something that I don't know been chronicling here for I don't I don't know how particularly as it is on on global warming.
But look stay on point here Ted Cruz uh nails this stuff every time he speaks about it as I say on the stage out there at the uh Coke Brothers event.
So you you get this presidential campaign and I think you have a good point here.
I I Jim, I think that if if um if Trump does do what Trump does, you're gonna see two or possibly three of these people break out of their shell.
And by shell I mean the the straitjacket boundaries their consultants have them behaving in.
Yeah, it it could be uh unique in a whole bunch of different ways on Thursday night.
Well, I don't want to deflate your bubble out there, but I just saw a just briefly saw a quote from Trump saying, yeah, I don't I really don't think I'm gonna be throwing any punches on Thursday night.
I mean, don't look for anything unusual from me, Trump said.
Right.
