Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Greetings, greetings, my friends, and welcome, and great to have you here as we launch yet another eagerly anticipated busy broadcast week here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, hosted of course by me, your guiding light.
Rush Limbaugh.
Don't doubt me.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
email address lrushbow at eibnet.com You know, we finally have some news that has nothing to do with the political race.
Not that I want to get rid of the political race.
Now I mean don't think that at all.
But I mean, there's some other stuff out here that's got literally nothing to do with the campaign.
Well, no, I'm not even talking about the climate change stuff.
But but that, you know, Mark Morano speaks, since you bring that up.
Our former man in Washington, uh, Rushlin bought a TV show.
We had a roving man in Washington with a camera and a microphone and went around and harassed Democrats whenever you could find them.
And usually he found them when they were a little tipsy.
They've been consuming adult beverage that was funny.
Well, Morano now runs a global warming website, an anti-global warming website.
And he asked a great question because they're this big deal.
They they have this great Paris Accord.
Do you realize that John Kerry said they didn't put any enforcement mechanisms in it because they knew the U.S. Congress would never vote for it.
It's not a treaty.
So there's no enforcement mechanism on this.
They're relying on peer pressure for this.
This is it's just a political actually what it is, when you boil it all down, it's a fleece job.
More detail on that as the program unfolds.
My my only point here, Morano says, since they signed this deal, since they've now fixed it, can we stop hearing about it?
And I think that is a brilliant question because we will not stop hearing about it.
I remember back in the um, sometime in the 90s, the Bakersfield Business Conference was a was a big deal that happened every October.
It was amazing.
I mean, they had 20,000 people show up inside a tent to listen to an all-day series of speakers.
In Bakersfield, California was a law firm out there that put this thing on, Borton Petrini.
And I was invited one year and promptly was disinvited every year after that for the next five or ten.
Well, I don't go, I it's because I blew the cover on how the thing operated.
But I I don't want to go into that.
I'm not trying to distract myself.
The the point is this.
Well, what they give you 30 minutes or 20 minutes, whatever they give you.
And they give you a series of lights when you're getting close.
Yellow means you got five minutes, red means stop, it's the hook, get off.
They gave me the red light in ten minutes.
Anyway, um the the Saturday that I appeared, they had just solved the budget deficit the day before.
Tom Foley was the speaker of the House.
The budget deficit, big deal, had just been agreed to.
Democrats and Republicans.
It was going to be signed by the president, which I think it was Bush, 41.
So I I opened my speech.
It's oh, is it fixed now?
Can we stop hearing about it?
I'm so happy.
I don't know about you all, but they fixed the deficit.
Did you know that?
They wiped it out.
They had a deal, they announced it yesterday.
No more deficit.
The guy following me was former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
And he opened by saying, I would like to disagree very respectfully with Mr. Limbaugh, but I do not believe that a deficit problem has been fixed here.
No kidding, Sherlock.
It was a it was a rhetorical question.
And it's just just like Morano's question.
Can we stop hearing about it now?
You guys fixed it.
You guys have solved the problem.
It's over.
But the reason it's a great question, because we will not stop hearing about it.
We will continue to hear about it because it isn't about global warming and it isn't about climate change.
And the proof is in the pudding.
If you I saw a chart the other day that showed the amount of CO2, they're estimating since 1880 to present.
CO2 in the atmosphere, which we need.
Everybody needs CO2 to live.
They have it as a as a pollutant and a poison.
But anyway, the greenhouse effect is caused by CO2, they say, and the more CO2, the worse.
Oh, it's horrible.
The temperature graph they never show you.
The temperature graph from 1880 to the present, it hasn't moved.
Even though CO2 has doubled in the atmosphere.
It has not made things warmer.
It is so easy to refute all of this.
But anyway, it's just it's just a good question.
Okay.
So you guys in Paris, you got a deal.
And it's done.
Can we please stop hearing about it?
And the fact that we will not stop hearing about it means it isn't about global warming.
Just mark my words on this.
Give you an example, some of the other stuff out there.
People who are really good at swearing have an important advantage.
It means they have a really cool big vocabulary.
From the UK independent.
Those who by the way, folks, you don't know it, but I I have a masterful swearing vocabulary.
And I use it frequently.
It's just because of discipline and the and a deedle button here that you never hear it.
But I have a I've oh I am so creative in this regard.
So I guess this fits me because I have a masterful vocabulary, as you know.
Those who are liberal in their use of swear words are not the lazy, uneducated people they're often made out to be, according to a new study.
In fact, a well-stocked vocabulary of cuss words is actually a healthy indicator of other verbal abilities.
And I can personally attest to this being true.
No question about it.
Have you heard about this is sick?
But it, folks, it's sick, but it is such a teachable moment.
It is a it's an illustration of an ongoing circumstance that people are fed up with and are beginning to stand up to, and it's it's gonna have it it's gonna be very, very contentious.
School principal in a New York public school, public school 169, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, has banned Santa Claus, Thanksgiving, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
And I was watching on Fox today as a woman from Think Progress or whatever it is, and defended this.
Santa Claus is banned, the Pledge of Allegiance is no longer recited.
Harvest Festival has replaced Thanksgiving, and winter celebration substitute for Christmas.
New principal, Eugene Jayla Kim, I think she's the Korean, has given PS 169 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn a politically correct scrub down to the dismay of teachers and parents.
Ninety-five percent of the students, or 1600 of them there at the school, are Asian or Hispanic, and these traditions have simply been wiped.
They're no longer permitted because the multiculturalists, the PC crowd, the American left, this is part and parcel of who they are.
This country is unjust, it is immoral, it's invalid.
And all of these traditions are nothing more than propaganda poisoning people, and we've got to get rid of them.
They are part of the white patriarchal hierarchy, is what these people believe.
And if it has roots in white majority power, it is got to go.
It has got to be scrubbed, and it's happening all over the country, little by little, inch by inch, place by place.
This is one of the reasons.
Things like this is one of the reasons why homeschooling is exploding.
And it's one of the reasons why we need homeschooling.
There is no other way to protect your kids from this kind of tyranny, and that's exactly what this is.
You have screwballs like this, this elementary school principal, and you have nut jobs like Melissa Harris Perry, whatever MSNBC.
You know, she's a professor at Wake Forest.
And do you know her latest tirade?
Get this.
Darth Vader is racist because he's all black.
The character wears black, black helmet, black cape, black boots, and it's a subtle message that black people are evil, mean murdering killers.
And she's dead serious about it, folks.
And she's on a tirade.
She's on MSNBC talking about it, but worse than that, she's a professor at Wake Forest.
She went into a mini rant yesterday morning about racism in Star Wars as she complained about the villain Darth Vader being, quote, totally a black guy when he was cutting off white men's hands who did not claim his son, and then became a white man after he claims his son and goes over to the good.
This is sick.
This is literally mentally unstable, sick.
This woman's a college professor, and she has a TV show.
She's talking about a freaking cartoon.
A movie.
Star Wars.
If Darth Vader starts out as a menacing, went over to the dark side, of course, of the force.
He is another white guy, but corrupt.
That's right, sir.
As a white guy gets corrupted.
What does that mean?
He goes black, all black.
And when he's all black, he's a murderous, deadly, heartless, cold, mean-spirited thug who even tries to wipe out his own son.
But then at the end of one of the movies, Darth Vader sees the light, the black helmet comes off, and we find out he's a white guy underneath all the black, says Melissa Harris Perry, and that means he becomes white when he wants to become a good guy again and reclaim his son.
And this is an example of racism in popular cultures, he says.
This is insanity.
This is the kind of thing that ought to get her fired.
This is so irresponsible.
Damn straight issue.
Why are you looking at me that way?
I know she's got tenure, can't be fired.
This principal at this public school in New York.
There is, it's not, this is not just the war on Christmas.
There is a war on America being taken or engaged in by the American left.
It's not new.
It's just ramping up here.
And I tell you, the last year of Obama, I think Obama himself, he heard what Obama has said.
He wants to go down and have a meeting with the Castros.
He wants to go now because they're real revolutionaries.
Castro's not an ideologue either.
But he wants to go talk to the Castros because Obama says he's worried who might take over Cuba when the Castros are gone.
And he thinks the Castros can engage in some kind of reform, but he's not talking about capitalist reform.
He's talking about keeping it communist but letting some people out of jail, I guess.
And so he wants the Castros to put in place something that'll keep the revolution alive after they're gone.
He doesn't say it that way, but it's what he means.
I think he secretly admires the Castros.
Revolutionaries, Obama describes them as revolutionaries as in a in a very, very almost admiring way.
And get this from the Daily Caller.
Coca-Cola has issued an apology and has been forced to pull an online commercial, which was deemed offensive in Mexico.
It was deemed offensive to Mexico's indigenous people by consumers, media, and advocacy groups of the country, which means media and advocacy groups.
And it's just assumed that consumers are mad.
What is it that's bad about this ad would take place now in Mexico, if you remember?
It's an online ad in Mexico.
It shows fair-skinned, attractive young people turning up at an indigenous town.
What the fuck is an indigenous town in Mexico?
What is this?
This indigenous.
What's that meant to mean?
Spanish?
Not Mexico.
Well, it could be Indian.
I mean, Mexicans, you know, are not the original.
I mean, I guess they are.
And the Spanish came and conquered them.
Okay.
The original Mexicans, our brothers and sisters, the illegal immigrant crowd.
Native Mexicans, there you go.
Native meconos.
The ad shows fair-skinned, attractive young people turning up at an indigenous town bearing gifts of Coca-Cola and a Christmas tree for the overawed locals who are happy to see them and just clapping their hands and so happy.
The company said Coca-Cola said that it's ad in the town of Totentepic in this state of Osaka was meant to convey a message of unity and joy.
Instead, it reproduced and reinforced.
This is Koch's apology.
Instead, it reproduced and reinforced stereotypes of indigenous people as culturally and racially subordinate.
Well, I'm sorry, that was the activists criticizing the ad that Koch has apologized for.
They've taken down the ad.
Some people calling themselves a Latino rebels that put it back up because as they say, the internet's forever.
So a bunch of white millennials go to Mexico with a Christmas tree and a can of Coke, and of course it's racist.
And has to be apologized for, which Coke does, and has to be taken down.
Now, what can you conclude from all of this?
What you can conclude from all of this is that it is indeed racist in its intent.
The effort to erase, impugn, denigrate these traditions, Pledge of Allegiance, Christmas, Thanksgiving, it's an attack on the white majority, Christian white majority that founded the country.
That's undeniable who founded the country.
And there's all out war again.
I'm just going to warn you, this last year of Obama that's about ready to start.
Be ready, folks.
It's going to be loaded with this and more, and all of it promoted, encouraged, some silently, some vociferously by Obama himself and the Democrat Party.
Got to take a break.
We'll do that and be right back.
Don't go away.
On this program, ladies and gentlemen, we have praised repeatedly the way Ted Cruz has been behaving in this campaign.
We have praised his strategy.
We have recognized the uh what he's doing and have praised it, called it out.
And this program has been front and center in telling everybody, keep a sharp eye on Cruz, because when all the shouting's done, when everything shakes out, don't be surprised if Ted Cruz leads the pack, and now we've got at least two polls with him way up in Iowa, including the Des Moines Register poll, which among the drive-bys is among the most respected polls ever.
And because Cruz has been playing this whole campaign brilliantly, because he has not criticized Trump, he has not moved, he's not been part of the chorus.
And I don't, you know, he's he's he's been Cruz has been exhibiting manners that are considered to be old-fashioned.
Politeness, restraint, not getting in people's faces and wagging a finger and shutting them down.
He really has been engaged in what I believe are time-honored behavioral techniques that represent manners, breeding, sophistication, maturity, and all that.
And doing so has forced Trump into a couple of major blunders here.
And it's not so much Trump's or uh Cruz's behavior per se, it is the polling data coming out of Iowa that has shocked everybody except me, and including Trump.
I mean, when Carson was leading Iowa, eh, nobody really thought that was gonna last.
I mean, let's be but Cruz, Cruz has been everybody's dark horse.
Cruz has been, because you cannot legitimately and honestly criticize Cruz's competence, his intelligence, his abilities.
He's as bright and and and competent and capable and smart as anybody, and they all know it.
What's that?
Ah, screw it, dark horses.
Did I just say dark horse?
Well, don't distract me with that stuff, because that's not the point here.
Uh that Melissa Harris Perry would say it's racist, but but the point is that Cruz's behavior here, and I I can't think of another word to describe other than just respectful and polite.
Treat your enemies with kindness, treat you, you know, turn the other, all that sort of stuff that the the the virtues that are found in the Bible, for example.
Trump has been Cruz has been living them.
And he's not made himself a target in the way others who play the in-your-face insult game make themselves targets.
So he gets enough uh excrement thrown his way anyway, because people are so afraid of him.
But when you couple the way Cruz has behaved, his steady, consistent campaigning, his unrivaled and unparalleled in this field conservatism.
And you couple that with this series of polls that have show shown up in the last week, and it has discombobulated everybody, much of the way Trump discombobulated people early on.
Now I've got to take a brief time out here.
We'll come back and I'll give you a couple of audio sound bites to illustrate exactly what I'm talking about.
Do not go away.
I'm not sure that Donald Trump understands the way Ted Cruz has been behaving.
Some might say playing the game.
But a lot of people have observed, I mean, it's nothing earth-shattering for me to tell you that when the world is piled on Donald Trump, Ted Cruz is not.
And a lot of people have noticed, and a lot of people have been cynical about it.
A lot of people said, come on, you you're not real, if you don't criticize Trump.
Trump's not a conservative and you are.
I've heard people.
I've had to email some people.
They're mad at Cruz for not jumping all over Trump because of what Trump isn't versus what Trump claims to be.
And I've always known what Cruz is doing.
Cruz uh is positioning himself or has been positioning himself to be able to take advantage of any slippage that might occur with Trump.
I mean, let's face it.
The entire political establishment has been waiting for Trump to implode.
They've been hoping, they've been praying.
They've been predicting, they've been thinking.
They've been assuring themselves that Trump was going to goof it up somehow.
Or they've been telling themselves that Trump isn't serious and at some point's going to drop out once he's got his ginned grins and jollies filled with all this.
I mean, they've been grasping at all kinds of straws to tell themselves that when they finally get down to the convention that Trump's not going to be there and he's not going to be the nominee and not have to face it, uh, and and so forth.
And in my opinion, Ted Cruz has been considering that possibility as he campaigns and has has uh purposely and strategically avoided piling on any of the criticism of Trump.
The only time it's really happened, it was caught on tape at a some kind of a donor thing where somebody was there.
I don't even remember what Cruz was accused of saying, some of Trump being unstable or I don't know what it was, but it was the only time that Cruz has on record uh condemned Trump.
He also distanced himself a little bit from Trump on the on the banning of Muslims and so forth that agree with Trump.
But he did not go after him criticizing him.
He studiously purposely avoided doing that.
And I I think there's many reasons for it.
I think one of them is character.
There are just depending on how you're raised and what your values are and where you got your virtues.
Uh it may sound strange to young people today, but there have always been time-honored ways of behaving for mature, sophisticated, responsible people.
And there have been many do's and don'ts in that list of things.
Uh One of them is you never brag about anything.
You never talk about how much money you have or don't have.
You never condemn anybody for not having enough or too much.
Well, you don't go, you don't go there.
Um turn the other cheek.
Somebody throws something at you, don't reduce yourself to their level, turn the other cheek and smile.
Basically, this is where Cruz comes from.
I th I think he's uh extremely sophisticated, well-rounded, great character, proper virtues.
I think just a just a great guy.
All right, a dependable here's what I am, no phoniness about him, which I I find funny because a lot of people think he is phony.
A lot of people think that he's manufactured and contrived and a little plastic in his presentation, and I don't.
That's that's that's who he is.
And he's he's not hiding anything.
He's clearly illustrating who he is, likes who he is, and so forth.
So the moment that a lot of people have been waiting for, or at least a version of it, happened with the release of polling data late last week and over the weekend in a Washington examiner story headlined, Cruz triples support in Iowa, dominates Republican race.
Des Moines Register Bloomberg poll, most respected survey in Iowa politics, and it is.
Whether it's deserved or not, it is.
I mean, point that you need to know here is this this poll, the Des Moines Register Bloomberg poll is always treated as gospel.
I mean, it has been for election after election after election, 30 years.
And it has Ted Cruz with a solid lead in Iowa.
Texas Senator now 31% in the new survey, Trump 21, Ben Carson at 13, Marco Rubio at 10, and Jeb Bush is at six.
Now, here's what's remarkable about it.
In the last Des Moines register poll in October, mid-October, Cruz was at 10%, which means that he has more than tripled his support in the last eight weeks.
Trump is holding steady.
He isn't losing anything, not gaining anything.
He's holding steady there at 21 points.
Now, here's something that Cruz also knows.
While Trump is leading within the Republican field, one of the reasons for that is the Republican field is big.
The Republican primary vote is being split in any number of ways.
But it isn't going to be long before it isn't.
Because the field is going to shrink.
We have a debate tomorrow night, but after the Hawkeye cockeye, you're maybe even before it, you're going to see this field shrink quite a lot.
So while Trump leads in the Republican field in all the states, if you add them up and average them, Trump leads the field.
The undeniable fact when you look at the numbers is that more Republicans oppose Trump than support him.
If you add all of the support, all the other Republicans, it I mean, quite logically, that's not unique to Trump would be the case with any leader unless he had 50, 60%.
The number of Republicans opposing Trump is far larger than the number of people who support him.
So the question's always been when these candidates start dropping out, such I mean, I pick your name.
I'm not trying to force anybody out here, but when um when K Sick goes out, when uh Jeb goes out, Christie goes out, Rand Paul goes out, Graham Central.
Their voters are going to go somewhere.
And this is why, and I think what Cruz has been just brilliant in the way he has been behaving.
I can't think of any other word, the way he'd been comporting himself.
He is positioning himself well.
He's just been steady eddy.
And now this tripling of his support in Iowa.
It's understandable.
Iowa, the Hawkeye Cockai on the Republican side, a lot of evangelicals vote there.
You remember Santorum won it in 2012.
So winning the Hawkeye Cockye does not guarantee anything.
It doesn't mean you're going to go on and win the nomination.
I think Huckabee won it in 2008.
So the last two Republicans to win Iowa.
It's not a guarantee of anything.
But this is a shot across the bow because this was not expected, and especially by Trump.
So I think the combination of these polls, particularly the Des Moines Register poll, and the way Cruz has just been floating along there, kind of not beneath the radar, but he's not been making news the way everybody else has been making news.
And I think that it's shaken Trump up.
As I say, Ben Carson leading in Iowa, I don't think a whole lot of people took that seriously, but with Cruz leading Iowa, there are a lot of people taking it seriously.
Because when you get to the Republican establishment, folks, there is as much fear.
In fact, there may be more fear of Cruz in the establishment than there is of Trump.
There clearly is a lot of anger at both of them, but the fear, because the Republican establishment fears Goldwater all over again.
They fear that the Republican establishment fears two things.
Nixon and Goldwater, two landslides, and that's what they equate with conservatism, particularly Goldwater.
They never for some reason equate conservative with land slide Reagan victories.
And you know what else it amazes me?
You know, Siri thinks I asked her a question.
Let me turn this off just a second.
I didn't say anything to you.
My phone.
I look at all of these conservative commentators and media people and Republican politicians.
Let me ask you a question.
Very serious question.
What is the political movement period of time?
What and when these people have more power than they have ever had in their lives politically.
1980s, Ronald Reagan.
When conservatives won, when the Republican Party won a two election landslide, 80 and 84.
The Republican Party had more power during those eight years than they've ever had since.
Now they might argue and think they had a lot of power with Bush 41, but they couldn't have, or he'd have won his re-election.
And Bush 43, let's face it, folks.
I mean, the the the power there, that was kind of diffused by by foreign policy.
My my point is that all of these Republican establishment types and all of these conservative media types routinely attack the political movement that gave them more power than they've ever had in their lives.
It doesn't mean I would think they would want to return to it.
I would think they would want to return to conservative victory and dominance.
But I guess such is the power of suggestion in the Washington establishment that if you're conservative and you're in the establishment in Washington, you are like not being into big click.
Your persona non-grata, you're laughed at, made fun of, or what have you.
But it's it's always amazed me that the most powerful opportunity, the most powerful the party has ever been, is that period of time they routinely disparage.
The Reagan 80s.
Okay, quick time out.
We get back.
I'll I've got these two Trump sound bites and I'll show you.
I've not been teasing you.
I've been I've been trying to explain it and build up to it.
Um I think Cruz and the way he's been handling everything really forced some what could be potentially huge errors for Trump back after this.
Ha, how are you?
Welcome back.
El Rushbok, cutting edge societal evolution.
Fox News Sunday, Donald Trump on with Chris Wallace, Who said, What do you think of Ted Cruz?
I don't think he has the right temperament.
I don't think he's got the right judgment.
You look at the way he's dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a, you know, frankly, like a little bit of a maniac.
You're not never going to get things done that way.
You can't walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars and not be able to cajole and get along with people.
He'll never get anything done.
And that's the problem with Ted.
Whoa, wait just a second here.
Doesn't that kind of describe the way Trump has been dealing with people he disagrees with?
I mean, he'd been calling them stupid.
He's been calling them incompetent.
He's going to say you can't get anything done with these people.
But uh for for for the the people in the Trump support base who are conservatives and who may not even have any affinity for Cruz.
I don't know, the conservative uh base, the Republican Party likes a lot of different people.
But even people who are not particularly aligned with Cruz on the roof gotta be curious about this because this is this is no different than what the media would say about Ted Cruz.
This is no different to what the Democrat Party would say.
I mean, this is what the Republican establishment would say for crying out loud.
I mean, this is this is akin to saying I'm the guy who can cross the aisle and work with the other side.
That hasn't been the way Trump has come off up till now.
He's not positioned, he's come across somebody who's gonna beat everybody in negotiation, gonna beat them down.
He's gonna tell them how it's gonna be.
Um this is so obvious.
You know what?
I tell you what this is.
This is obviously the Trump campaign deciding to use the most common criticism against Cruz because they see that Cruz has negatives, they see that Cruz is not liked by the Republican establishment, and so they're just piggybacking on that.
I think as a way for for Trump to maybe score some points with the Republican establishment, because after all, he needs them on his side for the nomination if he wants there to be the respect and unity and I have to go third party.
So he's decided to go after Cruz here in the way the establishment Republicans go after Cruz, in the way the media goes after Cruz, in the way the Democrats go after Cruz.
He's essentially put on his John McCain hat here.
Saying, I'm Donald McCain, and I'm the guy that can cross the aisle and work for the other side.
Ted Cruz can't.
I was I was kind of surprised with it.
I don't know what kind of damage, if anything is going to do to Trump, because frankly, folks, if you look at Trump's support base, the majority of it is not conservative.
In fact, if you look at the Trump support base, I've maintained this for I don't know how long.
It seems that the if you look at the demographic makeup of Trump support, it's exactly what the Republican Party claims they want.
There's a lot of independence in there.
There are a lot of uh different ethnic groups in there, but it's not majority conservative or Republican base.
There's a sizable number of them in there.
But this is almost a um uh a rote criticism of Cruz.
This is almost, you know, if if if if you have to go to a playbook or a manual, okay, time to Ted uh criticize Ted Cruz.
What do we say?
What do we say?
Well, the manual says go after him for not being able to work together in the Senate and so forth and so on.
So I I'm not sure that Mr. Trump even knows who Cruz really is in this regard.
Uh no, my only point somebody running for the Republican nomination who has set himself up as anti-establishment to join the establishment in that kind of criticism of Cruz?
I don't get it.
It doesn't make a lot of Trump's not trying to per se himself as a conservative either.
I'm just not a violation of that.
It's but but he's clearly making himself out to be anti-establishment, and then he joins them here.
And then he then he dumped, he dumped on Cruz for uh being opposed to ethanol.
Uh in other words, we as Republicans must support government subsidies to corn farmers in Iowa.
If we're to Have any chance of winning Iowa, we've got to stand for subsidies.
And that again is not a conservative position.
To go after Cruz on that basis is again the way the Democrats and the media would go after him.
And then there was this Sunday morning on CNN State of the Union, Jake Tapper.
What do you think of Justice Scalia's remarks?
And where are you today on affirmative action?
I thought it was very tough to the African American community, actually.
I don't like what he said.
Actually saw it in print, and I'm going, I read a lot of stuff.
And I'm going, whoa, I have great African American friendships.
I have uh just amazing relationships.
But yeah, I was very surprised at Scalia's statements, actually.
Well, uh, they weren't Scalia statements.
They were arguments that had been submitted to the court that he was engaging in oral argument over.
Um but these are two things that if your conservative voter, Republican primary, these two things have got to raise some red flags for you people, I would think.
Now, despite all that, we got the latest Monmouth University poll.
Trump is up like 41% in the Monmouth University poll.
Export Selection
