	Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Testing, testing, one not bad.
	Not bad.
	Well, you never know until the light goes on how the voice is going to be.
	I'm here, folks, about 75%, but I could not stay out any longer.
	It's Friday.
	Let's hit it.
	Let's keep going.
	Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Hey Friday, you paying attention up there, bud?
	We're not in LA.
	At least if we are, I don't know.
	Where are we?
	Doesn't matter.
	As long as I'm here, doesn't matter where here is.
	Great to have you with us, my friends.
	The telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
	You can begin to fade the music out now, so I don't have to shout over it.
	Thank you.
	Could you get rid of the music?
	What is going on up there?
	All right, thank you.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize being out the past couple of days.
	I um, as you what was it, Tuesday.
	I think Tuesday, I sound worse today to myself than I did on Tuesday.
	Um, but it was I knew you know, you get these things, and when I get a cold or a fever and a near flu, it's always upper chest congestion gets caught in the throat and moves up, and I just knew it could feel it coming out.
	You just know.
	And uh Tuesday after the program, I I flew up to uh Minneapolis.
	There was, you know, everybody's good friend Vince Flynn passed away two years ago, and he was in the midst of writing a new book called The Survivor.
	And uh Vince's family chose uh an author named Kyle um uh uh Smith to finish it.
	And the book was finished and it was released this past Tuesday called Um the The Survivor, Kyle Mills was the author that finished the book, and they had a little ceremony at St. Thomas Academy in the gymnasium there, which was named after Vince.
	He was um such a big guy in Minneapolis and throughout the state of Minnesota, he was just tremendously uh unilaterally loved.
	And they called about, I don't know, a month ago and said they were gonna do this uh I don't know, a ceremony of uh uh sort of a little seminar on Vince's life and his writing to kick off the sale of book and asked me if I come up and be part of um uh round table discussion and do it, and I said, sure, I should be happy to.
	So I flew up there after the program.
	That didn't help, is the point.
	So it's three hours up there, and they uh they put me on first, so I did about you know 25 minute interview, and I didn't do any media.
	Uh requested they asked, would you do some media?
	Said, no, you don't want me doing any media because they will not ask me about Vince Flint.
	They will ask who they'll ask me about Hillary or whatever stuff, and you won't it won't be productive.
	So I didn't do any media.
	I just did the 25-minute uh Q ⁇ A with the the lead anchor at the uh the big Minneapolis TV station.
	It was great.
	And then got back on the plane and flew home.
	So I got back about uh I don't know, it was three in the morning because you it's four hours coming back because you lose the time zone.
	And I I knew when I left here on on Tuesday that that Wednesday was gonna be impossible, and it was, and this hacking coffee.
	It was just a mess.
	And and Thursday a little little bit better yesterday.
	But at least I had some energy yesterday, so I thought I'm gonna just roll it all together.
	I could have just taken the rest of the week off.
	Most hosts would have, you know, and just chalked it up and say, you know, I don't take many six days, sick days anyway, but there's too much going on.
	You believe the Republic Secretary's future speaker of the house having an affair?
	Do you believe it?
	I've seen Bob Livingston, Newt Gingrich, this guy, McCarthy.
	You know, it's about time this becomes a resume enhancement for us instead of something that wipes us out.
	Something like this happening on the left, it's a big time resume enhancement.
	It proves that they're hip.
	It proves that they're pro-women.
	Uh proves that they're viral, it proves that they're attractive uh to women and so forth, but on us side it just it does nothing but destroy us.
	I know, I know.
	I understand why.
	But this whole, this whole story, I it this is easy for me to say, and you are free to think that I am doing a snow job here, but I'm not.
	You're free to think what you want, and you may get mad at me for telling you this.
	But Snardonley sent me a note last night as though this is the first he was hearing about this.
	Are you kidding me, West?
	You had not heard about this affair until yesterday?
	Are you really kidding?
	This is years old stuff.
	I mean, I, you know, I this is the kind of stuff rumors and I just totally stay away from it because it it's it's all gonna come out in a wash anyway at some point.
	The interesting thing about this is the drive-by media is acting like all of Washington's been turned upside down.
	You know, that the the lesson to learn here is that Kevin McCarthy and Renee Elmers did I did I did I say something that's not known yet?
	I did.
	Oh, if they're denying this.
	Denials there oh, really denials.
	Oh, okay.
	Well then I guess what I've known about for many, many months is not true.
	Forget it.
	I'm sorry.
	They're denying it?
	Well, anyway, what I was gonna say, folks, that the drive-by media acting like this is totally shaking up.
	Why isn't the media acting happy?
	Here's why isn't the media ecstatic that the Republicans are imploding this way instead of why are they worried the Republicans are employed?
	Have you figured that out?
	Has that hit you in that regard yet?
	What it should tell you is is that McCarthy obviously is a Washington insider, and his fall from grace as future speaker obviously is bad news to the insiders or the establishment in Washington, both parties.
	And the reason for that is it is perceived that Ted Cruz and the House conservative caucus are behind this, these Tea Party yokels, and it is viewed as these upstart conservatives taking control of the House, and they're outsiders.
	And so you see that the insider elites are bound together not by ideology, but by class.
	If they were bound together by ideology, there wouldn't be a Republican in the establishment in Washington.
	There wouldn't be a Republican lead allowed in.
	But the establishment in Washington is made up of people of both parties.
	The people not in it are conservatives.
	But Republicans, moderate Republicans, liberal Republicans, communist Republicans, and all Democrats are in the establishment.
	Conservative Republicans aren't.
	And they might also get Renee Elmers.
	Sorry, I get I should I not have mentioned that.
	What are you laughing at so hard?
	I really, have you ever have you ever folks?
	Have you ever been privy to something everybody knows or you thought everybody knew and then when it hits, everybody acts like they had no idea?
	That's why I'm sitting here right now.
	Am I gonna have to deny this?
	I am.
	Okay, well, we're not on a like a 10-minute delay here.
	We can just bleep everything that's happened, right, and start over?
	Okay, well then forget it.
	You know, I I'm I'm probably chalk it up to the deliriousness of the common cold virus.
	Ravages of the cold virus have rendered my equilibrium out of whack, and I have not known what I'm talking about here for the first 10 minutes.
	And I apologize.
	I I really I get this is what happens.
	This is what happens when you show up and you shouldn't show up.
	It's what happens when the guardrails are down.
	Um, what uh what what I know is that that Newt offered himself a speaker, and that they want Paul Ryan to be the replacement now for McCarthy.
	And that there is uh, you know, the people on both sides of that.
	Ryan is perceived as somebody who has slowly evolved to uh a progressive insider establishment kind of Republican, the Romney VP candidate.
	Uh Romney has, I mean, I saw his name.
	Uh did he offer himself up, or did somebody suggest Romney to be.
	No, no, no, I'm not making this up.
	Don't tell me I'm making this up.
	Don't tell me I didn't see that.
	I saw Romney's name tossed in.
	I saw I read something that either Romney had had offered or somebody had suggested seeing it newt.
	Why didn't why somebody call Bob Livingston and see if he's, you know, he was denied the first time.
	Maybe he wants to give it another go.
	Grab audio soundbite number three.
	Friday, if I ask for number three, are you going to play three?
	No.
	Okay.
	Because the show opened had us in LA.
	So I've just checking.
	This is yesterday on C-SPAN's Washington Journal.
	And the guest is Robert Costa, who is of the Washington Post.
	He's a national political reporter now.
	Bob Costa, Robert Costa, not related to Bob Costa's.
	Robert Costa used to be at National Review in National Review Online, which meant that he was conservative.
	Just information.
	Now the QA with the viewers.
	We have a soundbite here.
	A guy from uh Wisconsin named Paul called, and he said, I don't think McCarthy will ever be speaker.
	He's too honest.
	He told a truth about the Benghazi committee, witch hunt.
	And not only that, he's talking about repealing Obamacare.
	When are they gonna get over that one?
	The problem for many House Republicans is they would like to see maybe a lot of other people stand up to be competitors to McCarthy, but no one had the will to run.
	McCarthy's there as the de facto next speaker because he's willing to do it, and he's willing to have those kind of exchanges.
	Listening, members of the House, people who who listen to Rush Limbaugh, and I mean it's respectfully of all conservative talk radio.
	By listening to those voices, it creates a new kind of dynamic in House Republican politics, because there, as I said, those expectations that a push for aggression, even if it's not possible.
	So uh Robert Costa there says, if you're able to translate that, says that there aren't a whole lot of House Republicans who want to be speaker because of having a deal with me.
	And what did he say?
	The demand that I would make and my talk show brethren and sister in for aggression or aggressiveness, or just simply defending the cause, standing up for it.
	They don't want that.
	Um do we have that soundbite?
	I thought we had this.
	Boehner got mad at me once.
	Boehner was talking about when he came to the House.
	There was only CNN and there was only this one talk show or something.
	Pardon the sniffles here, folks.
	Um I thought we had the Bahner bite here when I went through the Russia, but apparently not.
	Well, anyway, that's Robert Costa, and you know, there are probably more truth to this than not, even though it was on C-SPAN and nobody heard it.
	Um there probably is it within the Republican caucus some trepidation over having to deal with, you know, talk radio, it's a euphemism.
	Talk radio means the base of the party.
	Talk radio means the grassroots.
	Talk radio means Tea Party, what have you.
	It means the people out there who make this country work.
	It means people outside Washington.
	Talk radio just become a code phrase to use to either uh signify me or in larger measure the entire Republican grassroots base.
	New York magazine.
	See, I knew I was not off the how the media is handling Kevin McCarthy's rumored affair.
	Okay, and that's my Margaret Hartman.
	Um Gingrich opened a return.
	New Republic, the Republican House today was more melodramatic than high school.
	That's that's for sure.
	It does, it does look I, you know, that's a it does look like it's high school, like musical chairs or prom night or something, weird stuff.
	Um Frank Luntz is out there saying that this story of a rumor is crap, there's nothing to it, there never has been anything to it.
	Uh it's all just total 100% BS.
	So there's that, and then Trump in Vegas uh with a uh the Hispanic woman storming his stage, praising her, uh uh praising him and espousing her love uh for Trump and her support for Trump.
	Gentleman's Quarterly has an absolutely obscene piece about Ben Carson.
	It really is obscene.
	It's not even it's not even journalism, and if the I mean the title of the story is the F bomb, Ben Carson.
	And that's the headline.
	F asterisk, asterisk K, Ben Carson.
	Now you um have this the F bomb Obama and have some conservative media people write a person write it, it would be the end of that person's career, and then some.
	It would be the end of the publication that ran the story to be the end of their business.
	Uh so there's that, and there's all kinds of other news out there, too, that has nothing to do with what's going on in the House, Republican leadership, the speaker of the House, all kinds.
	I can't wait to get to it all, in fact.
	So, plus your phone calls, given that it's open line Friday.
	So we're in LA, and we'll be back at it right after this.
	So uh Snerdley, I I just got I got an email.
	They said that opening was very weird.
	Very, very it was great to have me back and all that.
	Voices of welcome, well, it was a very weird.
	What was weird about it other than it's from LA?
	What was what was weird about the open?
	No, you have to help me because I'm only I'm 70 75% here today.
	I'm really, folks, I'm I'm struggling to do to stay focused.
	So what's weird, what was weird about the open?
	The shift from You mean the confirmation.
	The confirmation.
	All right, well, look, here's here the UK Daily Mail has a story here.
	Did rumors of a love affair, Kevin McCarthy, a married Congresswoman, torpedo his elevation to House Speaker.
	Look, did he even have a path to getting the votes?
	I mean, what what I uh there everybody's acting like it's automatic that he was going to get it.
	But anyway, let me state that the story here in the UK Daily Mail acknowledges the strong rumors and that they've been around for years.
	But that the female participant vigorously denies them.
	Well, don't they all?
	Isn't that the rule of thumb?
	You deny, deny, deny, deny.
	Isn't that right, Wendy?
	You just denied, denied, denied, denied.
	No matter what kind of evidence there is, you just deny it, no matter what, you deny it.
	Here's the Boehner soundbite that I was looking for.
	This is August 3rd, 2015.
	It was on the Golf Channel, David Feherty Show.
	And remember, this is after playing Robert Cost on C-SPAN, essentially saying at the Republican potentials for Speaker of the House.
	Uh few of them want it because of me.
	And here's Boehner.
	This is August 3rd of this year, and he's explaining to Farherty.
	He said, Farredies is there less bipartisanship today than there used to be.
	Twenty years ago, when uh we won the first Republican majority in 40 years, there was one radio talk show host that nobody'd ever heard of.
	There was one cable news channel that just did news.
	And you look at today, you've got hundreds of radio talk show hosts all trying to outdo themselves, right, going further right and further right and further right.
	Uh you've got all these cable news channels, and all they do are politics.
	And it's tending to either push or pull people into one of two camps.
	You know what that sounds like.
	This sounds like, remember it was, I don't know, 1993, 94, There was a Time magazine cover is Rush Limbaugh, bad for democracy, too much democracy, they asked.
	Were there too many informed people?
	Were too many people more informed than they'd ever been for their own good.
	That was a serious story.
	And Boehner's basically saying the same thing.
	Twenty years ago we came into the House, he had one cable news channel, CNN, and he had a brand new, he was talking about me, new talk shows nobody ever heard of, which was true when I launched, nobody ever heard of me.
	And he said, now look what's happened.
	And he thinks all of this has pushed everything right or made it all political.
	And he's got his timeline all wrong.
	The people that that changed are the people that won the House in 1994, had they stayed conservative and had they remained true.
	But hell, you know, even that Republican freshman class was forced out.
	They got rid of a lot of those people inside of six or eight years, too.
	So hang tough, be right back.
	It's open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
	Uh F. Chuck Todd here on the Today Show today, uh, Savannah Guthrie talking to him, and uh she said, So Chuck, well what happens next?
	We have a you have a vacant job over there in the House representative speakership.
	It's a powerful job, and yet you don't have people falling all over themselves to fill it.
	Why is that?
	Nobody wants it for the very reasons why John Boehner's leaving the job.
	The place is impossible to run right now.
	It's going to be impossible to run during a presidential election year.
	The same forces that are dividing the Republican Party, Trump, Carson Fiorina from Bush and Ruby and all that stuff.
	These are the forces in the House that are basically saying we don't want the same people running the House.
	So I think McCarthy was going to be Boehner 2.0.
	I think a lot of conservatives saw that, and I think that's why they were trying to torpedo this thing.
	Well, it you know, it boils down to it's it's these forces versus the voters.
	When was the last time?
	And I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but what F. Chuck Todd's saying here basically is all of these establishment types are afraid of the voters.
	They're afraid of us.
	When he said nobody wants it for the very reason Boehner's leaving the job.
	What is the reason Boehner's leaving the job?
	Well, we have we have to assume here, the reason Boehner's leaving the job is he doesn't like being criticized.
	These guys forget.
	They committed things to us when they ran for office.
	They told us they were conservative.
	They told us they were going to stop Obama.
	They they they made a great point of this.
	They they told us to rest easy.
	Mitch McConnell did it, every one of them said that this is every that they know that that's what they were elected to do.
	They campaigned on on some variation of the premise that they were serious, they were going to stop Obama, but they don't, and they haven't, and they haven't really seriously tried.
	And apparently they're not going to.
	And they don't, there isn't anybody who wants to take the job under the uh or with the realization that he's going to be at odds with the voters for the rest of the term.
	So how committed are these establishment types?
	You know, I think what it what it points out, or what it illustrates is that the inside the Washington Beltway establishment really doesn't care about voters and public opinion and all that, and doesn't even want to have to deal with it.
	And whoever's in this position is going to get the brunt of the criticism.
	Uh and so it's a uh i in the in the old days, and it wasn't that long ago, folks, when a political party was the loser of a presidential election, or other elections, that party would honestly assess where it had gone wrong with the voters.
	And would attempt, excuse me, would attempt to make it right with the voters.
	And by that I mean the party would attempt to, even if it was just for show, they would attempt to change or modify their beliefs in order to be relevant to the voters, Because it was the voters who determined who won.
	And what's changed is, as far as these guys are concerned, it's the donors who determine who wins.
	And therefore it's the donors to whom they have to be loyal, not voters.
	And they don't even want to go through the motion system.
	Now there's not even any pretense of mollifying the voters.
	There's not even any attempt.
	I mean, this is, folks, as recently as these years running up.
	This might have been the 2000, was it the 2002 midterms?
	It was whatever year that I was invited to do election night coverage on MBC with Tim Russard and Brokon.
	I think that was 2002.
	And yeah, it was.
	Because what happened in that election year, that was the year of the Wellstone Memorial.
	Now, the rule of thumb is in in off-year elections that the party in power loses big in Congress, particularly in house races.
	Because there's always anger at the new president after two years.
	And the voters traditionally, you know, want to put something in to stop what they don't like the new guys doing or whatever.
	So that meant that the Democrats are going to have a huge 2002 midterm.
	But then the Wellstone Memorial came along and they totally alienated the percentage of the American voting population that saw it.
	I mean, it wasn't over the top.
	It was supposed to be a memorialslash funeral type thing, and it was one of the most viciously mean-spirited partisan events.
	A lot of uh Wellstone's Republican colleagues showed up.
	I mean, it was a memorial, and they were booed and harassed out of the place.
	And the Republicans ended up gaining seats.
	And I'll never forget Brookhard that night.
	I mean, they were just stunned over what was happening.
	The Democrats were supposed to just make tracks that night.
	It was supposed to be huge, and they were losing everywhere.
	And everybody came to me when it was all over and asked me what had happened, and I gave them my analysis, and I chalked it up as well stone memorial.
	I said, these people just totally misinterpreted where the people of this country are so forth.
	Anyway, the next day, this is what's different.
	The next day the Democrats went out, and this was the second time this had happened in like five years or six.
	Pardon me, the Democrats went out, and they didn't mean it, but they started talking about how they were going to have to maybe shift some of their positions to get more in line with value voters, because there were in that 2002 midterms, in the 2002 midterms, it was a bunch of people that showed up to vote on morality issues according to exit polls that had turned the tail, turned the tide.
	And the Democrats the next day, the next two weeks didn't mean it, but they at least went out and said that they realized now they were out of touch with so many Americans and they were shocked and they were going to have to do something about it.
	That's gone now.
	That doesn't even happen.
	There's no pretense now of a party that loses, admitting that it's maybe lost touch with the American people and needs to do things to get back in touch.
	This would be a great opportunity.
	One of, I don't know how many opportunities the Republicans you know when the first opportunity Republicans had to coalesce a huge majority of voters in this country was Obamacare.
	Back in 2010, the 2010 games gives birth to the Tea Party.
	The Tea Party springs to life spontaneously, I mean, literally effervescently from the dust.
	There is no leader, there is no official Tea Party party per se, it's just a bunch of people.
	They start showing up at uh town hall meetings, they're outraged at two things, mainly, many more, but they're outraged at Obama's relentless, endless spending and what it meant for the future of their kids and their grandkids, and they were just outraged at Obamacare, the nationalization of the health care system.
	And if you looked at polling data back then, the Republicans could have aligned themselves with easily a 60% majority of Americans on just two issues.
	And they could have created for themselves a huge loyal base.
	And they didn't do it.
	they did the opposite.
	What they did with the Democrats did.
	They ran away from it because the Tea Party is a bunch of kooks.
	And you know, this is for a lot of us.
	This is when the lights really went on.
	I mean, they'd been burning somewhat dimly.
	There had been some doubts about the modern day Republican Party to whether it was conservative in some people's minds.
	But this erased all doubts.
	When the Republican Party made no effort to form a giant governing majority coalition people based on issues.
	And there have been a number of other incidents like that since 2010, immigration is one, where the Republican Party's just sitting on an opportunity to become a huge representative of a majority of thought in this country.
	And they have never once taken advantage of it.
	This is another one of those.
	There's no thought to anybody in the House who is representative of a majority of the thinking of the base of the party becoming Speaker.
	Nope.
	It's all in the hat here and they're running around.
	Who is the next establishment guy up?
	And the next establishment guy up, whoever it is, they can't find one that wants to do it because the establishment guy doesn't want to have to take the heat from the voters.
	The Republican Party is sitting here on a massive potential majority that could carry into the presidential election.
	But they don't want to do it because it would require them joining forces with whatever you want to get conservatives, call it Tea Party or whatever, but they just don't want to do it.
	So instead they come up with candidates for speaker that we are supposed to think, well, better than Bahner.
	Look at this guy's conservative, he's been conservative, voted conservative, this, that.
	They still continue to play the game of how can we fool them today.
	And people on our side have become too sophisticated to be fooled by the game of how can we fool them today.
	So to me, sitting here in my ravaged state, it just seems to me like another s golden opportunity slithering out of their hands because they've never really even tried to grasp it.
	Open line Friday, Rushland Ball with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
	This is Bob in Coronado, California.
	Glad you called, sir, and welcome.
	Great to have you here.
	Thank you, Rush.
	Um, my comment is this.
	The Republicans need to pick a winner, somebody who wants to win, not somebody who wants to get along.
	And I have a very brief example of what I mean.
	We recently had some Planned Parenthood hearings, and I was shocked beyond belief that you could watch that hearing and not one Republican put a video up on the screen and asked Cecile Richards a difficult question, like what does she mean by intact cranium?
	What does she mean?
	What is she selling?
	What is a what is on this revenue line?
	And I say that because back in the days of uh concentration camps, people like Ike went in with cameramen and took pictures and completely changed the way we would we would picture uh a concentration camp.
	They weren't just skinny people who were malnourished and so forth.
	Once you saw the pictures, you were shocked for life.
	We remember that 70 years later.
	Why are they not showing the pictures of Planned Parenthood?
	Do we not want to win?
	Are we just trying to do that?
	I don't know.
	Why do you think they didn't?
	I don't know.
	I can't I maybe they think they're offensive.
	I I can't imagine.
	I'm I was mind-boggled.
	Well, let me see if I can help.
	I think maybe the fact that they didn't really ask Cecile Ma Richards uh any really hard questions.
	And I think the fact that they didn't show any video evidence of the butchery going on at Ma Richards uh joint is because what they were really doing was simply putting on A show designed to prove to people like you that they are defending the cause.
	There really was no intent to do any damage to Planned Parenthood.
	There wasn't really any intent.
	There's something they probably decided they had to do this because it had so outraged and shocked the base.
	They had to go through the motions of this, but they weren't really going to get to the bottom of it.
	I know what you mean.
	And their theory is abound that some of them on the Republican side don't want to win because they don't want to work at the at the at the job of actually running that place and governing it from the standpoint of being aggressive and advancing an agenda.
	It's a lot of work to do that.
	It's very hard.
	The media is going to be crucifying you every day, and some of them just don't want to put up with that.
	I think the money people behind Planned Parenthood carry a big stick.
	So I think they just basically put on a show hoping to mollify people like you.
	But Rush, don't we have fighters at all?
	I mean, I would think there'd be some 35 or 40-year-old conservative Republican that would just be.
	Well, they've got to get on a committee first.
	I mean, they've got to be assigned to the committee first, and who does that?
	I know.
	I mean, you're asking a valid question.
	Where are the fighters?
	You know, join the club here.
	We got seven years.
	We have seven years of the most radical extreme leftist political agenda that this country has seen since Woodrow Wilson.
	And there hasn't been any real attempt to stop it.
	Inside the Beltway, inside Washington, there has not been a severe effort to stop it.
	I've got a a piece here in the stack that is really good piece on how the economy today is worse than it was during the Great Depression.
	And it makes the following point.
	The Great Depression on the population was less then, obviously, than it is today.
	You know what the total number of unemployed people was during the Depression?
	12.5 million.
	Today it's 46, 48 million unemployed.
	The soup lines, the Great Depression in the pictures, they exist today, except they don't have to stand in line at a soup kitchen, they get an EBT card.
	They get a debit card and they go redeem the debit card.
	The government, the point of the story is the government's done a great job at hiding depressions.
	But we're actually at war second.
	96 million Americans not working, and there hasn't been any pushback against this.
	5.1% unemployment rate's an outright lie.
	So my point is that you know you're you're wanting pushback on planned parenthood.
	You're wanting fighters.
	Where is it?
	My point to you, there isn't, and there hadn't been any for seven years.
	And that's, I think one of the reasons why this job of speaker, again, people are are uh looking at it as an opportunity to get a fighter in there.
	Somebody's gonna finally stand up and lead the House in an effort of stopping Obama from doing what he intends to do for the remaining year that he has, or whatever it is, 14 or 15 months now.
	And it's clear the establishment doesn't want any part of that.
	They don't want any stopping, they don't want to have to put up a fight, they don't want any part of that, and at some point um that's the battle.
	People who want to fight, people who don't, and how to mollify those of us who want to fight into accepting people who aren't going to.
	Anyway, I got to take a break here.
	Thanks for the call.
	We'll be right back, folks.
	No goal.
	Sound bite number five.
	Here's Charlie Rose.
	This is this morning on CBS.
	And he's uh having a chat with uh John Dickerson of Face the Nation, talking about this this race in the House for speakership.
	Can anybody control these people that represent the Freedom Caucus?
	Can anybody in the Republican Party deal with them?
	For right now, it doesn't look like anybody can.
	Because unless they get their way, they're willing to take the House down.
	Well, yeah, because they think the House has been uh selling out Republicans and conservatives for the last many years, and it's finally their chance to stop that.
	So you know Charlie Rose here, this is the voice of establishment thinking here, by the way.
	Can anybody control these out of control conservatives?
	These freedom people?
	Can anybody control them?
	I mean, for crying out loud, they're willing to take the house down.
	That's what happens.
	See, when the establishment is taking it on the chin, that means the government is under a sac under a talk, under assault and attack, and is falling or is about to fall.
