Yes, America's Anchorman has a cold.
And this is your official EIB, anchor baby, Mark Stein sitting in.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
I I don't have a cold.
Uh d no matter how much Teraflu I take, I still sound like this.
It's a genetic defect.
Can't do anything about it, I'm afraid.
But it is uh great to be with you.
Uh coming to you live from Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire.
Uh if you're uh fleeing the country, uh do swing by and say hello.
You can't uh miss us as a big sign on the highway saying last rush guest host before the board.
I'm always thrilled to see you.
Uh Freaky Friday and Allie are looking after things uh down in New York, and Mr. Snudley was trying to be in New York to keep an eye on things.
Cause we can do anything now, 'cause uh because uh he's he's off the grid, uh Snerdley.
Last last we heard of him, he was like uh he he couldn't get a flight uh from Florida up to New York, but he's uh like uh in a payphone, panicking.
The last working payphone in Florida.
He's standing there trying to monitor the show from there.
But we can do a wheel.
We can talk about cricket scores.
That's how out of control this show is.
1-800-282-2882 is the number to call.
I was talking uh earlier about Russia's uh terrific bit yesterday, I think it was yesterday's show, who's saying what all these things have in common is that Western civilization is erasing itself.
And one of the uh most obvious it's uh that's actually the way to look at it.
It's a who whom situation.
Uh that's all that matters.
Who whom?
That was Lenin's great formulation that what matters is not the justice of the cause or uh the facts at issue or the principles involved, but who is doing what to whom.
That's what how Lenin saw things.
And and that's how the uh that's how the left sees things.
The left sees things who is doing what to whom.
Uh so if uh a gay group is aggrieved because a Christian baker won't bake them a gay wedding cake, you should be on the side of big gay because they're the identity group that trumps these uh benighted knuckle dragging Neanderthal Christian homophobic bakers.
But if it was a gay group complaining because a Muslim baker in Dearborn, Michigan wouldn't bake them a gay wedding cake, wouldn't make bake them a gay wedding backlava, uh then it all gets a bit more complicated because then it's the Muslim guys who are on top, so big gay have to take a back seat.
This is this is how it almost this is how, for example, why they don't care about the the war on women means uh Todd Aiken saying something.
Uh the war on women doesn't mean all these women being raped and sold into sex slavery in Iraq uh and kidnapped by Boko Haram and or uh and all that, because it's the who whom thing.
It's like when you've got if if it's the choice between American military power preventing the women from being raped in Iraq, then the bad guys are American military power.
So it's tough and the women in Iraq just to to put up with being raped.
Uh and likewise if it's the Nigerian schoolgirls, you can hand up a big pouty hash cardboard hashtag like uh Mrs. Obama did saying bring back our girls, and that's fine, but if you were to actually send special forces in to uh s rescue the girls,
then it's bad because it's then it's you know uh the the f uh American military power uh uh against the uh forces of Third World guerrillas and you should be on the side of Third World Gorillas.
It's all who whom.
Who whom, as Lenin used to say.
Who's doing what to whom?
And once you know that, you know the side you ought to be on.
The side you ought to be on is not the side of uh uh of of uh Western civilization.
You see that most particularly when it comes to climate change.
We're about to go to the big climate conference in Paris next month.
There is a beautiful uh thing of beauty that happened yesterday.
Ted Cruz absolutely demolished uh the head guy of the Sierra Club, who is a fellow called uh Aaron Mayor.
He was testifying at some Senate committee or other, and Ted Cruz was grilling him and asked him about the satellite data.
The guy didn't know anything.
Uh and he had to he had to keep leaning back and be fed lines.
It was this stilted conversation where Ted Cruz would ask a question, there'd be a long pause while the guy leaned his head back and was fed the line by one of his minders.
He's a classic boutique liberal, this guy, Aaron Mare.
Remember his name, M A I R. He's president of the Sierra Club, and he is one talking point, one little talking point that he kept reiterating over and over, like he had environmental tourettes.
He could only repeat his little verbal tick that ninety-seven per cent of the scientists were agreed uh on this climate change thing.
Which isn't true, by the way.
My book uh demolishes this ninety-seven percent, my new book.
I've written a book, it's called uh A Disgrace to the Profession.
And it's about the most influential science graph of the twenty-first century, the hockey stick, and the guy who invented it, uh and the big climate alarmism industry that has grown up around it.
And then the idea that ninety-seven per cent of scientists or ninety-seven per cent of climate scientists support this is nonsense and is demolished uh in the final chapter of my book.
But uh but this guy doesn't care about evidence.
He's got his talking point.
And he's got his little talking point, and even when he's in a congressional he's giving testimony in a Senate inquiry.
And you would think there would be minimum standards for that, because he's the head of the Sierra Club.
So that would be like the expert witness in a trial.
And if someone decides to bring in an expert witness and in a court, you're allowed to probe to test his expert credentials.
And if if they'd done that with this guy, they would have discovered what Ted Cruz made plain that he doesn't know anything.
He doesn't know anything beyond his two or three talking points, which is fine when you're going on some l you know, the view, and you've got your two or three talking points, but if you're supposed to be testifying to Congress, you're supposed to know stuff.
And he was doing this 97% uh this uh ninety-seven percent of scientists are uh in in uh support anthropogenic global warming or whatever you say.
They never explain what it is the ninety-seven percent is that actually my book is actually full of climate scientists.
I think it's a hundred and twenty climate scientists, absolutely, some of whom believe in global warming and others who are opposed to it, but they're all opposed what they what they united in opposition to is this kind of big climate sound bite alarmism uh that this guy is uh this guy was peddling in Congress yesterday.
Uh uh and it's a my book's about the ho the hockey stick being taken up by Al Gore and put in his movie and then being used to justify the Kyoto Treaty and uh the creation of this twenty-first century alarmism industry that uh is now going to reach its apogee at the Paris conference uh next month, when w essentially using climate as a pretext for global government.
And just to bring it back to where we started here, uh it's it's again, it's about Western civilization erasing itself.
Uh Naomi Klein, a compatriot of mine, she's from Canada, and she wrote a big selling book uh about essentially uh environmentalism, and they've now made a film about it, which is not going to be as big as an inconvenient truth, because it's far more boring,
even than Al Gore's movie, but where she effectively comes out of the closet and she says, yes, this is about using environmentalism as a pretext to destroy uh the free market economies, individual liberty, and all the rest of it.
It's the classic watermelon stra strategy, green on the outside, deep socialist red uh on the inside.
Uh and uh this fella, Ted Cruz took him apart, it's a thing of beauty.
I wish Ted Cruz was virtually invisible in the last debate, but this was absolutely Ted Cruz at his best, and he rightly pointed out uh that there has been No uh global warming now for eighteen years.
In other words, if you're if you've got a kid who's celebrating their eighteenth birthday and just become an adult, they've been fed this their entire lives for the entire eighteen years of their childhood, and there in fact has been no warming, no warming.
And this guy from the Sierra Club, Aaron May couldn't answer any of the questions and just kept going on about this 97% consensus.
And as I say, in my uh my book, a uh a disgrace to the profession, it's called, but we take apart among the fascinating things in that book, we do take apart this 97% consensus nonsense.
Because it's not true.
My book quotes hundreds of scientists who all disagree with these egregious big climate alarmists, the sky is falling types.
They're embarrassed by people like Aaron Mayor, who claim to know they claim to be a experts in this subject, and they and they know nothing about it.
It's a it's what the Sierra Club does.
The Sierra Club is an environmental organization and and global warming is a threat to the environment.
Yet in the end its own president knows nothing about it.
Because boutique liberalism uh isn't about facts, it's about feeling.
Uh if you've got the right feelings on a subject, so if you feel warm and fluffy towards gays or women uh or the poor or blacks uh or the climate, the environment, that matters far more than whether what you do actually harms and hurts the thing you profess to have all these warm and fluffy feelings for.
And uh uh climate change, we're now coming up to this big Paris conference.
Last time round it was Copenhagen, and we were very lucky because uh the whole climate gate email scandal broke.
That's also in my book, by the way, these uh the the the the fact that the people behind the scenes knew there was a global warming pause, knew there'd been no warming since nineteen ninety-eight, but they didn't want to tell us.
They told each other, they eve emailed themselves back and forth.
A guy called Kevin Trenberth, who's a big American climate scientist.
He said uh in these emails, it's uh it's dis it's a disgrace that we don't know why there's been no warming since nineteen ninety-eight.
He he actually uh Kevin Trenberth, Michael Mann, uh all these other big climate scientists, they discussed it all in private, but they wouldn't say it in public.
Uh because otherwise they know that the no-nothing guys like Aaron Mare, this Sierra Club president Ted Cruz took about, they know that these no nothing guys will get all confused.
They want simple childish slogans like what this idiot was repeating in Congress.
Oh, well, there's a ninety-seven percent consensus.
There's a ninety-seven percent consensus, there's a ninety-seven percent consensus.
Can you give my needle a nudge on the record, because I think it's a bit stuck.
There's a ninety-seven percent consensus.
That's all they have.
And the reason they're doing this, the reason they take the side of climate change uh is because it's all about feelings, and if liberal feelings have to be directed against their civilizational inheritance.
Uh it's all part of erasing Western civilization at every opportunity.
And Russia's point is right.
If you look at any story in the news, take any story you want and see which is the side that is committed to protecting and defending what is proud of our civilizational inheritance.
What takes pride in creating the most developed civilization that has ever existed on earth, where people are free to live their lives to the fullest potential.
Uh and if you look at the if you look at any issue, uh the left is always on the side that wants to trash that civilizational inheritance.
Mark Stein in Farush, 1-800-282-2882.
Hey, Mark Stein in Farush at the golden EIB microphone.
Let's go to Amy in Los Angeles, California.
Amy, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hey Mark, thanks for taking my call.
Um I have a different view on Kevin McCarthy's remarks.
Because it I I watched it live, I heard all this hubbub going on, and I went back online to listen to the Sean Hannity interview again.
And it seems to me he was Describing a side effect of the Benghazi hearings, not the purpose of them.
And I think we're just buying into the media continuing to twist Republican words uh while and dumping on McCarthy.
I don't think it's uh I don't think that's the right interpretation.
Well look, I'm I'm uh always happy not to play the media game when they go, you know, look a squirrel and we all chase after it.
Uh but uh but with the best will in the world.
That he he th th th McCarthy said this stuff when he was uh on Fox talking to Sean Hannity.
And and Sean asked him uh uh uh a question, a very uh broad question that actually started with the Cromnibus funding uh for which is another f fiasco from the Republicans.
And and McCarthy McCarthy then said uh what you're gonna see is a conservative speaker that takes a conservative Congress that puts a strategy uh in to fight and win.
And let me give you one example.
Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?
But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee.
What are her numbers today?
Her numbers are dropping.
So what he wasn't talking about it as a side effect.
No one had mentioned Benghazi.
He introduced Ben, he was the one who linked Benghazi with Hillary Clinton's poll numbers, Amy.
The word had never occurred in the interview before that point.
Well, I still think that he was I I don't I don't I think the words are being parsed from that, but I I see your point, but I have a different view.
So I want to Well you're you you you you're in you're entitled to uh to your view, Amy.
But look, let's let's let's pair that back and say that you could have that if if you were being uh interviewed on uh Sean Hannity's show on Fox or if I was or someone else.
But this is a guy whose job who's gonna be the most uh prominent Republican uh until election day in the United States, the most powerful Republican, he has to know what he's saying when he's on in front of a microphone, doesn't he?
Yes, I agree, and perhaps he could have done that better.
But I think he was also trying to show that that there are Republicans in Congress doing stuff.
Um and I think showing that Benghazi is being looked at and that it's uncovered a lot of stuff and and that Clinton isn't uh being helped by that, I don't I don't think that is saying that this was just a partisan political game.
Well, uh you and I will have to disag disagree on that, uh Amy.
The the the point is this this is he he's running for whatever it is, the third most powerful position in the United States of America, which is the most powerful nation on earth.
And there's like three hundred million people in this country.
And it's the minimum job requirement that you ought to be able to think uh what it is you're saying before you open your mouth.
Now there's all kinds of things that people say that I don't care about, you know.
When uh Trump says, oh uh Mexico's sending us all our rapists.
I don't care about that.
When uh when Trump says uh I like guys who are uh I like uh war veterans who don't get captured, uh I don't care about that.
I don't care when uh Jeb is supposedly in trouble for saying that stuff happens about Oregon.
Uh I don't uh I uh th these kind of things politicians say all the time.
You're out there, you're on the stump, somebody asks you something, uh and you and you and you say something and uh it's not quite carefully enough formulated.
Yeah.
But this guy is supposed he's running for a gu a job where this is what he does, framing issues and advancing the Republican agenda is what he does, and this is how he framed Benghazi, Amy.
Uh you're right, there's a difference between a a presidential campaign and a campaign cycle versus someone who's in office and you're you're right.
Well, we I hope he's uh and do you support this guy as he's coming up.
Well, you know, I'm a I'm a strong California Republican, so I actually do know of who Kevin McCarthy is.
Right.
And I think uh on as a whole he's he's great.
I think uh as a is a California as a LA Republican, there's a lot of us out here that are so sick and tired Of being treated like an ATM by both uh both parties.
They fly in, they get do their fundraising and they leave and they completely ignore us.
And and I I think they're they make a huge mistake ignoring California.
So from that point of view, I'm not sure.
You'd like a you'd like a California guy uh in there.
You know, there's a lot of good conservative Republicans out here.
Reagan's council.
No, no, no, I know.
I like I love it.
I've I go and and speak in Orange County once every couple of years.
They always give me the best time uh out there and they're and and they're terrific people.
But sometimes, sometimes when you give hostages to fortune like this, Amy, uh then there is a price that has to be paid for it.
This was an uh an unforgivably stupid gift uh to hand your political opposition, and that's why Trey Gowdy's uh furious with it.
Mark Stein for Rush, more straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush, he has a cold.
He has a cold, so his voice sounds funny today.
Not as funny as mine, but funny enough for him to want to stay home, uh put his feet up, uh, take it easy, and uh and uh have a thera flu or two, and he will be back tomorrow with full strength, authentic, all American excellence in broadcasting.
Don't forget you can always go to Rushlimbore.com and become a Rush 24-7 subscriber, and then you don't what do you care about guest hosts?
You're gonna you can listen to Rush any time of the day.
And if you feel that he's got a coal coming on, you can say nuts to that and you can go and find some uh more mellifuously sounding little bit from the archives that will not uh so distress you as Rush when he's got a bit of a frog in his throat.
So uh you go to Rush Limbaugh.com, you become a Rush 247 subscriber.
There's all kinds of other stuff there.
You got a link to the latest uh Rush Revere book, and you can subscribe to the Limbaugh Letter too, where they got a terrific interview uh with Victor Davis Hanson, who talks almost as much sense as Rush.
He's like uh must be number three or four in America when it comes to talking more sense than uh anybody else.
And that's all at uh Rush Limbaugh dot com.
I love the stuff that the left worries about.
Um the uh CNN, Donna Brazil, uh who is a hell of a survivor, actually.
I can't it's amazing to me.
She was there all through the Clinton era, now she's still on TV at uh CNN.
Uh why the Roberts Court is scary.
I think the Roberts Court is scary too.
This is uh the Chief Justice who twisted himself into a pretzel to justify Obamacare.
Uh this is uh the uh uh Anthony Kennedy's court that voted five four uh to overturn the definition of marriage as it has prevailed uh throughout human history.
I find the Roberts court scary, but that's not why Donna Brazil finds it scary.
Uh she thinks it's scary because of uh minority rights and because uh the Supreme Court is gonna gut part of the voting rights act.
And it is it is amazing the way again I'm assuming that this is coming from uh Hillary.
Hillary's got to Hillary's gotta do something.
She's got to get hold of s she's just got to gin the base up on the war on women, war on minorities, something.
She needs to do something to reverse the slide in her numbers uh that is happening in uh in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Bernie Sanders is real.
He's a real phenomenon.
He's not just the anyone but Hillary character that people think he is.
Uh he's actually got a constituency there, and he's authentically serving that constituency.
Who is Hillary's constituency?
Hillary's constituency is, you know, fat Saudi Sheikhs who are prepared to give her husband tons of money to give a speech.
Hillary isn't anybody except uh an entitlement uh candidate.
Uh she's she's basically I was complaining about Angela Merkel in Germany the other day, but you say what you like about Angela Merkel, at least she became Chancellor of Germany on her own ticket, not just because she's some uh career sex fiends enabling wife, which is basically the the reason why Hillary, if b if f feels she's entitled uh to be president.
Uh but uh Hillary uh is going nowhere.
And it it's not even the email scandals.
I mean, I think in a strange way, the email scandal is a distraction from the fact that Hillary would be an awful candidate even if there was nothing going on.
And they're frantic to shore her up now.
So on the one hand, the Oppo research guys are saying, well, you know, they're doing this warning thing to Joe Biden, well, you get in the race, we're gonna bring up some of your early abortion votes.
Uh he voted to repeal Roe v.
Wade in nineteen eighty-two, Joe Biden.
And that's the kind of thing that's like, what is that, thirty-three years ago?
That's a third of a century ago.
They're gonna be dragging up votes from Joe Biden that are not where the Democrat Party is now from nineteen eighty-two.
You could still be a pro-life Democrat in nineteen eighty-two.
It wasn't there's only, you know, whatever it is, uh nine years after Roe v.
Wade.
You could still be a pro-life Democrat.
Uh, but uh they're gonna be dragging up all these votes from nineteen they're saying you get in the race, you are not gonna know what hit you.
We're the Clinton machine.
Remember what we did to Barack Obama?
Okay, well, never mind that.
That didn't work out so well.
But remember what we uh normally do to these guys, and we're gonna do it to you.
Uh and uh and that's uh and so they're doing that on the one hand, and on the other hand, they're running these uh you know n phony non issues to energize the Bates that the uh why the Roberts Court is scary, because it might require a form of picture ID.
Requiring a driver's license to vote is the most popular form of voter ID.
But millions of Americans don't drive or can't afford a driver's license.
They they can't afford a driver's license.
And in some places it can be a hundred mile drive to the nearest department of motor vehicles.
You can get a thing that looks like a driver's license that is exactly the same as a driver's license and is a non-driver's form of state issued ID.
You don't have to take a test for it.
It's not like you have to show that you're not blind or whatever.
You just get that anywhere.
You need ID to get into a Hillary Clinton campaign meeting.
You need to, in other words, for the citizenry to be ushered into the presence of the s the the woman who wants to lead your country and be your citizen executive.
You, the humble peasant citizen, need not just a piece of ID, but you need to undergo a background check to be ushered into Hillary Clinton's presence.
But when it comes to the sanctity of the ballot, the most vital, essential part of citizenship of responsibility of citizenship in a free society, that you are the person who is entrusted with selecting the government of that country, because it is a government it is self-government in which you the people select those who govern you.
Uh then you don't need any ID for that.
It would be outrageous to say it would be outrageous to say to someone, uh, oh uh you need to ha show your driver's license for that.
You need to show your driver's license to get into a Hillary Clinton campaign event.
You need to show your driver's license to get into uh an uh an attorney general, federal attorney general press conference where he's denouncing the need to uh show your driver's license as racist.
You need to show your driver's license to get on a plane.
You need to show your driver's license to get into a lot of office buildings in American cities these days.
You need to show ID to check into a hotel.
But you don't need to show ID when you vote.
And that's what Donna Brazil is saying, why the Roberts Court is scary.
You need to you need to show ID to vote in every developed country on earth.
But it's uh only hate hateful haters.
This is the desperation.
This is the desperation of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Why not let it go?
Why not just run with Bernie Sanders and have a gay old socialist time of your life arguing for twenty trillion dollars of new entitlement program.
Go for it.
You would go on the most almighty Bernie Bender and have the time of your life.
And that's the choice that's facing the Republican uh the Democrat Party.
It's simply no fun.
It's no fun having Hillary.
It doesn't do anything for them.
Doesn't doesn't sort of get their juices going.
It's not like the uh libertarian candidate in Florida uh sacrificing the goat and drinking its blood when you drain the juices of the Hillary Clinton campaign, it just leaves a sour, bitter uh aftertaste.
They don't care about the emails.
Clinton scandals come baked in.
They don't care that she's on the take from uh Saudi princes giving money to her rotten foundation, they don't care that the foundation spends ninety-four percent uh of its money uh on so-called expenses, so that if you give a hundred thousand dollars to the Clinton Foundation because you're all concerned about diarrhea in Africa, only six thousand dollars of the hundred thousand dollar donation goes to diarrhea in Africa.
The other ninety-four grand is just all sluiced up, flying Bill, Hillary and Chelsea around the world.
And there's all the people there they're drowning in the diarrhea in Africa because they thought they got the big donation from the the f of a hundred thousand dollars and only six grand is going to diarrhea in Africa.
Why get swashed away by Clinton Foundation African diarrhea when you can have the romance of your lives with the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Uh the desperation of the Hillary Clinton campaign is her number Sag Sag SAG.
Because right now, he's absent anything else.
She's gonna be testifying on Benghazi.
She's got the drip drip drip of uh uh of scandal and lack of enthusiasm, and he's on course to win Iowa and New Hampshire, and all bets are off.
Then it's uh then then the Bernie bandwagon is really gonna go for it.
Mark signing for Rush.
We'll take your call straight ahead.
Let's go to Dale in Ventura, California.
Dale, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Hi, Mark.
I disagree with your last caller in Los Angeles.
I'm in the next county over.
Kevin McCarthy is not a conservative.
His voting record with conservative view is F rating.
He's only voted as a conservative forty-five percent of the time, which means fifty-five percent of the time he's a liberal.
All we're gonna get with him is a repeat of thee in her without the crying.
So Trey Gowdy was right to be upset with him because his comments do undermine the investigation.
Yeah, no, he he's right.
And and without the fabulous perma tan of uh John Boehner, because uh because Kevin McCarthy uh comes from California, whereas John Boehner is in famously sun-drenched Ohio.
Uh so uh John Boehner had the big tan, and he does all the crying.
So you know, who's it gonna be if it's not gonna be Kevin McCarthy then?
Well, I I'm hoping that it's gonna be an ultra-conservative.
The fact of the matter is this country has gone so far to the left that unless we put an ultra-conservative in to drag us back to the middle where we have a happy medium, we're not gonna begin anywhere.
We're just gonna be going in reverse.
Absolutely right.
Uh, what you need is someone you don't need pol as I've said on this show before, you don't need politicians who move toward the center.
You need politicians who move the center toward them, as uh as Ronald Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher did.
Uh and that's uh and that's right, Dad.
I mean, do you think do you think what what's worrying to me about this McCarthy business, right?
Nobody had heard of this guy.
Most most people don't know who he is.
But he he was next in line after Eric Cantor got knocked out uh in his uh in his congressional race in the primary.
Uh so he's supposed to be next in line for the throne.
And this these remarks of his are are reckoned to be not a disqualifying uh comment.
In other words, he's still on course to be Speaker Dale.
Well, I hope they do eliminate him.
We need more uh conservative, somebody with an A or B reading or free rating like Daniel Webster.
But on top of that, Kevin McCarthy is a Los Angeles Republican, which really means he's a liberal.
And this is not gonna help our country.
Uh it's gonna be a total repeat of everything.
We're everything's gonna just be the same, nothing's gonna be changed.
It doesn't matter if we get a Republican into the White House, because I think the election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker is gonna so turn off the Republican Party, you're gonna have people sitting out the election again.
Yeah, I I wouldn't put that part.
There was a uh Ronald Reagan was a California Republican, Dale.
What's happened in the last thirty-five years?
Well, Ronald Reagan was not of the establishment.
Kevin McCarthy is and will remain a member of the establishment elite.
He's going to do whatever he can do to stay in power and keep that money flowing to himself.
But the other the other big point, Dale, is uh that California's demographics have changed.
They have changed dramatic.
Ronald Reagan couldn't get the California used to used to be a provider of American presidents, uh Nixon and and Reagan.
And not any more because uh its demographics have totally changed over the last forty years.
You've had a big influx of Hispanic immigration, and this is why a lot of uh Republicans outside California are terrified that they're gonna end up with the same choice of Democrat light that Republicans have to make uh uh up for.
You have all these guys like Schwarzenegger, when Schwarzenegger got elected, he was going to be well what did they call him the governor?
He was going to be the governor because he c was going to terminate programs.
He couldn't terminate a thing.
Nobody can name a single thing that Schwarzenegger accomplished while he was governor of California.
But he ran on this, oh, you know, I'm fiscal con fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
In other words, all the icky embarrassing bits about conservatives don't and uh uh don't won't worry, I'm not like that.
I'm just fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
And it turns out that when you do that, uh all the fiscal liberalism comes with a hell of a price tag.
And what has happened to California is that it has been so demographically transformed over the last forty years that you cannot uh get a real conservative Republican elected in Sacramento.
And as you say, when you send a California Republican to Washington to be Speaker, that's gonna have a very depressing effect uh on a lot of the conservative base.
That's true, because they gerrymandered the districts in such a way so that the co the coastal people, which are predominantly liberal, encompass the majority of the districts, and they've left the Republican districts to be small zones, so it's hard to get a Republican into office.
The other problem is the fact that California has now allowed illegal aliens to get driver's licenses, and that just means they're gonna be that much easier to register to vote because they're not gonna follow up a check on it.
They have a driver's license, and now you've got and it's upwards, and I don't believe any of the numbers, but it's upwards in California.
It's got to be close to twenty percent of the population that's 40 million, which means there's about eight million illegals in the state.
That's you're absolutely right, uh Dale.
I gotta go.
