Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
The saga continues.
A man, a legend, a way of life.
Doing it again on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
Greetings, my good friends, and welcome all across the fruited plane and internationally via streaming pirate satellite reception.
However you are getting this program, welcome to you.
Next three hours, broadcast excellence, 800-282-2882 and the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com.
It is Open Line Friday, and really the basic difference, Open Line Friday, Monday through Thursday.
Well, actually, there's two.
We try to take more calls on Friday.
I seldom succeed in that objective.
Today, I probably will succeed.
Most Fridays I don't.
But more than that, we try to get rid of the limits on callers in terms of what they can talk about.
Don't take that the wrong way.
It's all about maintaining audience.
But I don't want people to get bored here.
Therefore, Monday through Thursday, I don't want people to talk about things I don't care about.
If I don't care about it, I'm going to get bored.
But on Friday, I don't care.
Broom that.
If I don't care about it, I'll either not care about it and run the risk or fake caring about it.
If indeed somebody wants to talk about something I don't care about, and that's the opportunity, whatever you want to talk about.
So have at it.
800-282-2882 is the number again, the email address, El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
They are all excited in the drive-by media.
The American flag was raised today over the American embassy in Havana, Cuba.
Such a great day for the drive-bys, such a great day for the American left, and such a great day for Fidel Castro.
Victory for Fidel Castro is considered victory for the American media.
Here is a media montage of how it all went down.
For the first time in 54 years, an American flag will be raised at the U.S. Embassy in Havana.
Now to the historic moment that is set to unfold in Cuba.
A historic day for Cuba and the United States.
A Cold War standoff will end here in Havana when the stars and stripes fly once again on the island.
Historic raising of the American flag.
It's a historic day for Cuban-American relations.
Jake Tapper in Havana this morning.
Buenos dias, Senor Jaquito.
Pasabieng.
Buenos dias, Christopher.
It's going to be great.
Yes, sir, it is, folks, because now all of us in due course will have access to that wonderful, superior Cuban healthcare system that has only been available to the elite and the precious few, such as Michael Moore and Sean Penn, and, well, maybe some others.
But now we're all going to be able at some point.
We don't at this moment have travel freedom, entire travel freedom.
It's only a matter of time.
And somebody sent me a note today about who's going to be the first to do.
Well, I said, I'll tell you the photo op that everybody's waiting for.
I'm not kidding about this.
Somebody in this delegation, some of the American delegation, is going to go out there and grab an Havana cigar and light it up.
And that's going to be a huge photo op.
I mean, it's a big deal here, folks, for a lot of people.
You may not know this, but a lot of elites smoke cigars.
And a lot of elites want Cuban cigars.
Legally, you can't get them.
But now you can, if you can get there.
That's a limited amount of money that you're allowed to spend on Havana cigar.
I think $100 is the max, which for a good cigar, you'll get four of them.
And then you've got to hope they're all made well.
They're not much anymore.
But that'll be a big photo op is whoever, wherever, lights up in celebration, of course.
A gigantic, and it'll be pretty big for photo op.
Havana cigar.
John Kerry Lurch was there and brought up Vietnam.
Did you relieve this?
When he made his speech at the grand ceremony where the American flag was raised over our embassy in Cuba, John Kerry talked about Vietnam.
You know, he served there.
So that may be why.
Last week, I was in Hanoi to mark the 20th anniversary of normalization of relations between the United States and Vietnam.
Think about that.
A long and terrible war that inflicted indelible scars on body and mind, followed by two decades of mutual healing, followed by another two decades of diplomatic and commercial engagement.
All that time, through reconciliation, through normalization, Cuban-American relations remained locked in the past.
That's right.
But that was before Barack Hussein-O was elected president and then began traveling around the world, pointing to all the places the United States has been guilty of something.
Guilty of oppression, guilty of theft, guilty of assuming to know what's best for this country or that country.
You know, liberalism is a strange thing.
When you look at it domestically, these same people will tell us they know everything about how we ought to live.
And if we refuse to live our lives the way they want us to, then they will take over and make us conform and live our lives the way they want us to.
Now, you take it internationally.
The United States has been a beacon for freedom and has attempted to liberate, it's succeeded, but liberated tens of millions of people over the years from bondage.
Liberated people of freedom.
We have not conquered.
And yet the very same liberals who are hell-bent on telling every American how to live, somehow when the United States attempts to spread the notions of democracy and freedom around the world, the American left says, who are we to tell people how to live?
What right do we have to enforce our ways and impose our ways on them?
But they have no compunction whatsoever when it comes to imposing their beliefs on all of us in this country.
But when it happens internationally, and of course, when they impose things on people, it results in people losing a little freedom here or a little freedom there.
And before long, a lot of freedom is lost, as you add it up.
Traditionally, America has liberated people from oppression all over the world and seen to it that freedom and economic advancement has been the story today.
By the way, there is an interesting story.
I've got it somewhere here in the stack.
I should have put it at the top.
I'm not going to try fumbling through the papers now.
But it is essentially about, let me see if I remember this.
Just in the late 1800s, the odds that you would not 14% of the population did not live in poverty in this country.
Something like 80% of the population was in poverty in this country, mid-1800s, late 1800s.
And the story today is just the exact opposite, of course.
And this is a left-wing publication writing this, applauding it.
And they're not even cognizant of the fact why it happened.
You know, what has enabled people to escape poverty?
Herbert Meyer, who used to be in the Reagan administration a couple, three years ago, wrote a piece saying the most transformative thing that's happened in his lifetime has been the number of people in the world, the percentages of people in the world who have escaped poverty.
In fact, his story, the one that got all this going, we interviewed him for the Limbaugh Letter.
He was pointing to statistics that indicated that you had to look long and hard to find genuine poverty in the world today.
I mean, we've had such a successful effort to elevate people from poverty.
It's still there, but it's nowhere near what it was.
And that's true here in the United States.
So, of course, the answer, well, why?
What has caused this economic opportunity, economic growth, economic expansion?
What is it that enabled people to elevate themselves and escape the bonds of poverty?
And it wasn't social safety net programs.
It wasn't big government.
It was freedom, liberty, capitalism, which allowed this economic march.
And that's what we imposed, quote unquote, on people all over the world.
We eliminated tyranny where we could.
We rescued people from dictatorships and thugocracies and enabled them to be the best they could be.
And around the world, people have been escaping poverty left and right.
The left can lay no claim to the success of that, although they clearly will.
I just find it stunning.
You know, we have the American left doing everything they can to deny people little freedoms here, little freedoms there, can't make life decisions unless they approve of it.
But then internationally, when we try to do the same thing, they say we got no business imposing our views on people.
The height of hypocrisy.
Here's one more soundbite from Lurch, proudly talking about the normalization of relations in Cuba after he succeeded in normalizing relations with Vietnam, where, by the way, he once served.
I applaud President Obama and President Castro both for having the courage to bring us together in the face of considerable opposition.
I am heartened by the many on both sides of the straits who, whether because of family ties or a simple desire to replace anger with something more productive, have endorsed this search for a better path.
We are certain that the time is now to reach out to one another as two peoples who are no longer enemies or rivals, but neighbors.
Time to unfurl our flags, raise them up, and let the world know that we wish each other well.
Right.
The only problem with this is that any dissidents in Havana, any dissidents in Cuba who seek to speak out against the regime are put in jail.
And now the American flag is essentially flying proudly over that real life circumstance.
People that want to show up at Castro's, well, he doesn't give speeches anymore, but public events in Cuba and protest or just be dissidents for freedom.
Dissidents are celebrated here in Cuba.
They're put in jail.
And we are proud as we can be to be normalizing relations with such a forward revolutionary thinking as Fidel Castro.
Damn right.
This is the kind of ally we've always needed.
This is the kind of support we've needed internationally.
And it's about time we got it, right?
Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Marco Rubio, in fact, asked the Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, by the way, if you haven't heard.
Rubio asked Kerry to include some dissidents, some Cuban dissidents, at the flag raising ceremony today.
Of course, Kerry refused.
He said that it would violate protocol.
It would be an insult to our hosts.
That's such a major change in policy.
We don't want to insult our dictator hosts, even though the embassy is United States property, U.S. territory.
I mean, it's us.
It's sovereign territory.
You know, a little Cuban history, I don't know how many people know this.
Cuba had slavery until, see, from the 16th century all the way till 1886.
Hardly anybody knows this because nobody cares.
But the fact is that more than 60% of the Cuban population is descended from slaves.
Not that you would ever know it, particularly if you looked at photos of the Cuban parliament.
Do you know the Cuban parliament, for whatever purpose it serves?
I mean, it's a rubber stamp, but do you know that it's practically lily white?
And when's the last time you saw a lily white Cuban citizen?
But nobody, we're not supposed to talk about that because Castro's a good guy.
He's down for the struggle, you know.
He's one of these guys that's faced the oppression of the United States.
And so the American left has solidarity with him because they understand that.
So now the next question, ladies and gentlemen, how long will it be?
Seriously, how long will it be before Barack Hussein Obama gives Guantanamo Bay back to Cuba?
You know, for all the talk about here, the American flag being raised today over Cuba, the American flag has been flying proudly at Guantanamo Bay, where we have a very successful licensed merchandise business, by the way, Club Gitmo gear available at EIB store.
You can see it there.
All kinds of neat stuff, t-shirts, caps, golf shirts, you name it.
But Obama's wanted to close Club Gitmo, promised to do so.
It was his first executive order.
When he asked Jack What's His Face what it said when he was signing it?
His very first executive order, I mean, with the first week that he's in office, is the cameras are in there and he's signing his first executive order and he turns to Jack, whatever this guy's name is.
This common ordinary everyday discovery was involved in the Ebion Gonzalez story.
And he was the guy that wrote the executive order and Obama turned to him.
What's this say here, Jack?
Anyway, signed it, promised to get rid of Guantanamo, Guantanamo Bay, close it.
And now, how long will it be before he gives it back?
You know, Castro has been livid over the fact that the United States still has a naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
And it has been a curiosity.
I mean, here's an island, significant-sized island, all communists.
And somehow we managed to hold on to our naval base there through all of this.
And it was something Castro had to tolerate.
You know, we fought a war.
Do you know this?
We fought a war to liberate Cuba, which was under the jack-booted thug Spanish dictatorship.
You ever heard of the Spanish-American War?
It was also called the War for Cuban Independence.
Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders.
The Battle of San Juan and San Juan Hill, one of the famous victories engaged in by and engineered by Teddy Roosevelt.
So we have quite a history with Cuba.
Then, of course, the mob moved in and turned everything into a giant gambling casino.
So everybody's celebrating.
It's a done deal.
Everybody is ecstatic and happy.
And the next question is: what's going to happen?
And how long will it take for Guantanamo Bay?
In politics, Chris Steyer, Walt at Fox News, polls show Hillary way underwater in swing states.
You know, depending on where you look, the AP, and I don't want to get in a lot of detail today because we've been in the weeds on this Hillary stuff all week long.
I mean, it just gets complicated, legalistic, and confusing.
People, who did what?
What did she do?
What did she not do?
What's left on the server?
The more interesting aspect of this is what it is doing to Hillary's poll numbers.
And she's plummeting in a lot of places.
While Bernie Sanders continues to skyrocket, Bernie Sanders continues to just go through the roof and draw huge, huge crowds.
And the Hillary camp is telling their supporters, don't sweat this.
There's nothing here.
This is nothing but a low-grade fever.
We're going to get through this.
They don't have anything.
There was nothing on the server.
They've got nothing, is what the Clinton camp is telling everybody.
And don't worry about Huma.
They're not going to be able to get HUMA.
And they're not going to be able to get Cheryl Mills.
Nothing's going to happen.
That's the Clinton message to donors and the media.
But in a poll of voters in six make-or-break swing states, Hillary Clinton now trails a generic Republican opponent by 13 points.
And that's a jump.
That's worse from last month's eight-point deficit.
You know, the old generic ballot poll where they ask people in a congressional or presidential race, are you going to vote for a Republican Democrat?
The Democrats usually always win these things.
You always poll better in generic, then you start adding names to the generic ballot questions and things change.
Well, Hillary Clinton against any Republican is losing by 13 points.
The poll is going to be released later today, conducted for the pro-Republican group American Crossroads by the pollsters Vox Populi.
Telephone survey: 1,908 registered voters, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia.
Those are the six swing states, and she is underwater in them.
Now, that's the kind of thing, even before the legal beagles get into gear.
That's the kind of thing make the political people of the Democrat Party sit up and say, wait a minute, are we about to go get drowned here?
And we're back.
It's Open Line Friday.
And let's start on the phones.
Let's just get started here.
I have kind of a light stack of stuff here, folks.
I was a little depressed last night.
I have to tell you.
I was a little down on the dumps.
I was expecting a couple of new betas from Apple, and they didn't dump the betas.
They dumped software upgrades for the iPhone and for the Mac that everybody got fine.
But I've been on those for two weeks and a month already.
I was expecting new iOS 9 and El Cap betas, didn't get them.
And that means that there may not be any more.
They never release anything on Friday to developers.
And I've studied the history.
It might get one more Mac beta, but I think we're through.
We have the iPad and iPhone.
But by the way, the iPad is where the new iOS 9.
That's where the big, big, overwhelming improvements in genuine multitasking.
I demonstrated it to Snurdly today.
He can't wait now.
But I was all depressed.
I thought I was going to get some new betas to play with, and I didn't.
So I don't have as big a show prep stack because I just wasn't as enthused.
So what we call her reliant here today, and we're going to start in Daytona, Florida.
This is Bradley.
Bradley, great to have you.
It says you're 18 years old up here.
So great to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor to speak to you.
I'm proud to have you with us in the audience myself, Bradley.
Thank you.
Well, I want to get right to it.
I'm a Ted Cruz supporter.
I'm actually a Liberty student.
I was there when he announced his presidency.
That was really cool.
I mean, I was already a Cruz supporter before then, but that really tipped a nail in the coffin.
But I want to talk about Trump.
I don't really like Trump.
I don't think he's a true conservative.
You know, he gave money to a lot of the Democrats, Hillary Clinton included.
Right.
He actually wants, you know, higher taxes on the richer, and he doesn't, you know, support defunding Planned Parenthood.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
He changed his mind on that.
Did you see that the other day?
He stepped in an unplanned parenthood, and then somebody told me how he'd stepped in it.
He changed it.
Abortion, never, ever, okay?
Trump, never, never going to happen.
So he walked that back.
He's now right on abortion, on Planned Parenthood.
Oh, okay, right, of course.
Oh, you don't think it.
Hey, now, wait a minute.
I hear some snark there, Bradley.
Well, I don't trust politicians or Trump, I guess.
But Trump's not a politician.
That's why a lot of people like him.
Right.
Well, I heard some people at some polls say that they didn't like Trump after the first debate because he demonstrated that he could dodge around questions just like any good old politician out there.
Well, I think dodging questions is not per se.
It is something you have to learn to do in politics, but I don't think it is an exclusive political talent dodging questions.
You ever heard of Bill Belichick?
You ever heard Bill Belichick, the coach of the New England Patriots?
I have.
You have not?
No.
Never answers a question.
Never, ever answer.
You talk about it.
He's the king.
In fact, I've got an example.
I think it's the last soundbite of the day.
No, it's not.
What is it?
Grab soundbites.
Well, I want you to listen to this.
Bill Belichick is the coach of the New England Patriots.
Now, you're aware of the Tom Brady controversy there and Deflate Gate?
Oh, yeah.
That's for sure.
Okay.
So the Patriots had their first preseason game last night at Gillette Stadium against the Green Bay Packers.
And it turns out that Brady actually played the first couple of series.
He was one for four.
You know, by the way, you ought to see the New York Post story on this.
Brady, one for four, insignificant yards, playing with properly inflated football.
He's played the New York Post report.
Anyway, so here's the coach of the New England.
You wanted to dodging questions?
Here is the question from a reporter.
So what went into your decision to use Tom Brady tonight to start the game?
Played a lot of players tonight.
We play all the guys that we played.
All right.
And that's how the whole press conference went.
So, Bill, what would have your decision to play Brady tonight?
We played a lot of players tonight.
Well, was it a last-minute decision to play Tom?
We played the guys that we played.
We're on the Cincinnati.
Whatever.
So my only point here to you is, is that Trump is by no means the only guy that knows how to dodge questions.
He's not specifically a political talent.
But I don't want to take you off track.
I know that's not what you call about.
Right, right.
Yeah.
So that was just all stuff to make my point that I don't think he's a true conservative.
And I was just going to ask you why you don't criticize Trump more.
He seemed to always be really emphatic, happy that he sent us in the media, but he'd never say anything about him not being a true conservative.
Okay, I'm reading the transcript.
Why I don't criticize Trump more.
You're basically wondering why I don't criticize a little bit more.
Why don't I criticize Trump more?
Is that the question?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a really, really tough question.
You know why?
Because I'm trying to think back.
Your question presumes that I haven't been critical, and I know that I have, particularly after that debate.
I was.
But that's not the point.
Let me try it this way, Bradley.
Can you name any other Republican candidate in the debate seeking the nomination that I have criticized?
That you have criticized?
Yeah.
You're asking me why I'm not criticizing Trump more.
I want you to tell me if you know if I've criticized any of them, and if so, who?
Yeah, I really can't think of any you've really gone after.
Okay, so why should I go after Trump if I'm not going after any of the others?
Well, he's certainly a bigger story.
He's certainly a bigger story.
That doesn't matter to me.
This is the one place where Trump being part of the show doesn't matter to ratings.
I guess so.
It doesn't.
I'm the reason people listen to the show or not, not whether I talk about Trump or play Trump's sound bites.
It's cable news networks that get ratings depending on their guests and other shows.
I don't do guests.
I'm not guest dependent.
That's not a factor.
You mean you really think I'm not criticizing Trump because I'm worried about ratings?
No, I don't think you're worried about ratings.
I just, I don't know, I just didn't think you're criticizing Trump a lot, but I guess you're not really criticizing anyone.
Now, there's a lesson there.
There's a message there.
I'm not criticizing anybody.
You know what I want to do, Bradley?
What?
Beat Democrats.
Yeah.
I want this country needs Democrats to lose everywhere, anytime, anytime, anywhere, everywhere.
Democrats, if this country is going to have a chance at recapturing the magic and the growth of its founding, we are going to have to defeat Democrats.
And that's what I want to do.
And as such, well, I'm not going to go any further.
You know, I'm not going to explain how I do.
If after 27 years of three hours a day, five days a week, 15 hours a week, take away vacation time, sick days, not very many of those.
If after 27 years, people still can't figure out how I do what I do and why, then why shouldn't I tell them?
Well, I know Bradley's only 18, but what does that matter?
Am I supposed to take sympathy on him because he's 18?
Bradley, I'm not trying to be snarky with you.
I'm just, I'm telling you more than I've told anybody.
I want to beat Democrats.
I really think the future of this country really depends on Democrats losing.
And I'm going to tell you this too, Bradley.
Anybody in either of those two debates two Thursdays ago, I would take over Hillary Clinton, over Joe Biden, over Bernie Sanders, over anybody they nominate.
The Democrat Party is undermining this country.
The Democrat Party is destroying the character and the foundation of this country.
They have to be stopped.
Now I got people shouting at me.
You want to know why you can't hear the people I talk to neither side of glasses?
Because they're shouting at me now.
And if you heard what they were saying, it was just unacceptable.
Like they're shouting.
Well, so when are you going to take out X?
As though it's my job to take people out.
I want, I'm not joking and I'm not dodging.
And I am not.
And the Democrat Party is the root of this nation's problems, top to bottom, and they have to lose.
And that is what I care about.
That is what I am interested in.
That is what I am desirous of happening so much, I can't tell you how much I want it to happen.
I can't tell you how important it is.
That's what matters to me, the country.
And I'll be back in just a second.
Don't go away.
Welcome back, my friends, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
Bouncing off of our last call, the 18-year-old from Daytona, is there not enough criticism of Trump out there?
It is.
I thought there was a lot of criticism of Trump out there.
But apparently there's not enough.
I mean, There are people trying to make their careers, seems to me, out of criticizing Trump.
Well, it seems like there's plenty of it out there.
So what's the problem?
Here's Deloege, Missouri.
This is Gary Gary.
You're next at Open Line Friday.
Great to have you on the program.
I know where you live.
I've flown over it.
And I know where you live about because I went to school down there.
No, listen, I'll get right to the point, as Mr. Sturdley said.
It's difficult for me to get too jacked up about all the email controversy swirling around Hillary.
I mean, we hear it ad nauseum from daylight till dark.
But my question is, I would kind of like you to opine on, you know, there are two things at play here.
I mean, either there's utter arrogance, which we know the Clintons are vastly capable of that, or there's stupidity at play here.
So, you know, is she to the point where they will find something directly incriminating on those emails on that server?
Or is she just that?
No, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, let's go one at a time.
The server has been professionally wiped clean.
Okay.
There's nothing to be found on the server.
Look, your question actually, Gary, is very shrewd.
Because what you're saying, haven't we been here before?
Haven't we thought we had the Clintons in the palm of our hands and they slither out of there like a bunch of snakes every damn time?
You put the screws on and they screwed right out from.
Right.
Nothing ever sticks to them.
Nothing ever ends up.
In fact, you may think that we're being toyed with again.
Set up yet again.
Exactly.
Yep.
Yep.
And like I said, who knows?
I mean, time will tell.
But like I said, worst case scenario, they'll probably find some senior staffer to fall on the proverbial sword, and that'll be that.
Well, I was beginning to opine, as you say, about a column, a little blog post here by Chris Steyerwald, who's a political director at Fox News.
And it's just the latest polls in six swing states where she is losing big time.
The point is that I don't think anything is going to happen to Hillary legally.
And I'll just tell you up front.
I hear people saying she might be indicted, go to prison.
I'm sorry.
I've been there, Dunn.
It's not going to happen.
No.
That's not what.
But what has happened, Gary, in 2008, the Democrats threw her overboard.
And there was no legal scandal back then.
It was just her incompetence, her dullness, her drybaldness, whatever on parade.
She's not that popular within the Democrat Party.
It's happening again.
We've got some guy out there who's a reformed, aged hippie named Bernie Sanders, who is just drawing crowds like flies.
It's incredible out there.
Now, true, Hillary hasn't trained all of her advertising money on him yet, and that's going to come.
And he doesn't have the slightest idea what's going to hit him.
But the point is, no, no, stick with me, Gary.
The point is that there are plenty of people in the Democrat Party who want somebody else.
And this legal issue is just going to give them more ammo.
Now, whether she's going to get caught up in the legal system, I happen to agree with you.
I don't think they're going to lay a glove on her.
And I don't think that's Obama's purpose.
I think Obama's purpose is the drip, drip, drip that creates doubt, doubt, doubt, and question after question after question of her honesty.
And that's what's plummeting in the polls.
Her credibility, her honesty, her reliability.
She is in deep doo-doo.
And anyone, the more you listen to her speak, there's no sense of a genuine person there in my mind.
Just one brief point, and then I'll kind of an anecdotal point.
But I have a sister-in-law that lives in Cape, and the Clintons made a trip there in probably 91 when he was running for president the first time around, maybe.
Could have been the second time, but she had gone to Capaha, I guess, to listen to.
Yeah, that's where the thing was.
It was a big deal.
And people say, I wonder why Clinton chose Cape Girardo to go do a personal appearance in 1992 is what it was.
92?
Okay.
But, you know, she got quite close to the podium, and she said, you know, she was pretty much of a Clinton supporter at that point in time.
And she said, you know, she said you could just, it was palpable.
You could feel the, there was just no sense of being genuine down-home folks, you know.
Being from Arkansas, you would think maybe they would know how to do that.
But it just escapes us.
No, no, wait a minute.
Bill does.
I mean, that's.
Yes, yeah, absolutely.
Totally different person.
But Hillary, no, no, Hillary's.
Yeah.
No, your perception, I think, is pretty much.
Here, listen.
Listen to this soundbite here before you go, Gary.
This is F. Chuck.
Todd, grab number six.
This is the Today Show today.
Savannah Guthrie says, hey, Chuck, my husband, who happens to be a Democrat consultant.
She didn't say that.
I'm telling you.
Savannah Guthrie, my husband, who's a very, very popular Democrat consultant, worked for Gore.
in the past.
How real do you think the speculation is that Gore might actually get into the race?
Do you think Gore is really considering getting in?
It's hard to believe that Al Gore himself is considering.
If you look at where the Democratic Party is, you do have some people that would like to see Hillary Clinton more challenged to make sure that at a minimum, all of this baggage gets litigated in the primaries a little bit and she can get it behind her if she gets a nomination.
Or worst case scenario, it doesn't get it behind her, but they find somebody else.
Not Bernie Sanders, who some people don't think is electable, but somebody, maybe it's a Gore, maybe it's a Biden, maybe it's somebody else.
Okay, so F. Chuck is in, they don't have a bench, folks.
They do not have a bench behind her.
And that's why this speculative, Gore and Biden and the other people, F. Chuck is basically saying Democrats are desperate to find somebody to replace her.
And there isn't anybody.
So they want to get this scandal stuff either out of the way now so it doesn't hurt her if she's elected or prosecute it now.
If it is going to hurt her, let it happen now so we can find a replacement.
I'm just telling you, there isn't this 1,000% we love Hillary support, got to get her elected in the Democrat Party.
It's not there.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's tragic and panic-oriented environmental news.
The United States has already used up our share of all natural resources for the year.
And from this point forward, we are stealing other nations and other people's natural resources.
