	The views expressed by the host of this program documented to be almost always right, 99.8% of the time.
	Happy to have you with us, my friends.
	Looking forward to chatting with you here.
	The uh last live program for me, the rest of this year.
	The telephone numbers 800 282-2882 and the email address L Rushmow at EIBNet.com.
	Now I've got to tell you about Homeland and Mandy Patekin.
	Short after the first season, I called uh I called Howard Gordon, who adapted the program, created it with uh with Alex Ganson.
	You know, I liked everybody in it.
	And I said, I said, Howard, please don't tell me that Claire Danes is a raging leftist lunatic.
	Please.
	He said, Don't worry about a rush.
	She doesn't sleep with a Shagwavera t-shirt on.
	I said, Well, cool, okay.
	But man, so I this Mandy Petinkin stuff.
	I've I just wish these people would be quiet.
	Like, do you watch the affair?
	Anybody in there watch the affair?
	Have you ever seen that show?
	It's on Showtime.
	It follows Homeland.
	Homeland's at nine, the affairs at uh at 10 o'clock.
	He's got some good people in the Dominic West, who was in The Wire and a great British uh show called The Hour, which was a story about their version of 60 Minutes of the BBC.
	Um they kind of got off track the latter half of their second season here.
	But you ever had an affair?
	Anybody in there ever had an affair?
	Brian, you had a one of you ever had an affair?
	Snerdley.
	If you haven't, and you watch this, you'll never do it.
	You wouldn't you wouldn't, you wouldn't get close to it if you have been tempted.
	This program would talk you out of it.
	Anyway, back here to Alex and Douglas, Georgia.
	Uh we I I misread the clock.
	I thought I had a minute more than I had when I went to you, Alex.
	So that's my answer on Family Guy.
	It was the main thing was fun.
	I I really got along well with Seth McFarland and still do.
	And well, I know that uh both of the uh m all the episodes that you are in are are very hilarious, and you play a great part in the one episode that that was about you.
	Uh well, thank you.
	It was it was a lot of fun.
	You know, it's a lot of work.
	Those those um voiceover uh those actors that do voices for animated uh work, it's really, really hard work.
	Uh and is just as many takes as if you're doing it on camera.
	And Seth is a perfectionist, and he's really I I know Seth politically is is gone, but man, is he talented.
	I mean, the man has just got more talent.
	He's got he's got as much talent as little finger as Sammy Davis Jr. had.
	It was it's just you know that he actually he actually does do creening.
	He actually um is a crooner as well, and he has uh a couple of albums, I believe.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Well, he had his big Christmas party this year.
	He had a band in an orchestra and he sang.
	Um he takes over a Christmas channel and Sirius XM every year.
	Oh wow.
	And plays some Christmas tunes, even some that he's uh he's recorded.
	Yeah, he's multi-talented, multi-faceted, and uh you know, he he's he's he was he was uh a fun person to work with.
	He was very supportive.
	Uh and he he thanked me for putting a lot into it.
	He said most people come in and don't.
	And he was uh so it was it was great.
	I'd do it any time he asked.
	You know, I'm actually to be honest with you, Alex, I've been kind of offended he hasn't asked me to be in the Ted movies or his Western movies, but I figured I'm not a SAG member, so that that has to be the reason.
	What was your other question?
	I know you had one other else.
	Well, I just wanted to kind of weigh in on the Odell Beckham Jr. thing.
	You know, I mean, uh I just feel as though the the pre-game stuff, I mean, I myself play football, and it's just it's part of the game taunting, and I mean uh you know, I'm not saying that it's right because you know any offensive thing is not necessarily right, but it's just part of the game.
	I mean, you try and get into the opponent's head, and I just feel like his actions were you know outrageous.
	He shouldn't have you couldn't put his opponent in danger like that.
	Look, we come you know here's here's the and I think this is one of the points that Rodney Harrison has been making on the NBC pregame show on Sundays talking about Josh Norman.
	We have how old are you, Alex?
	I am 19 years old.
	You're 19.
	Okay.
	Well, uh you can't make generalizations About massively large groups of people, but there are generational traits that do seem to be consistent generation to generation.
	I have to tell you something, Alex.
	This current generation of millennials is a different breed.
	They have they have been cobbled growing up.
	They have been uh told how wonderful and great they are.
	They have been protected from anything.
	It might hurt and harm them.
	And Beckham is one of those kids.
	He's one of these guys, so when these guys start insulting him and calling him names, it may be the first time that it's ever actually happened.
	And he may know that you're right.
	I mean, my generation, I feel like I hate to say it this way, but my generation is a bunch of pansies, I think.
	Well, you know, I think that about my generation.
	I mean, every generation does have its pansies in there.
	Um, I I've thought I'm a baby boomer, and and I've uh I my generation, compared to our parents and grandparents, Alex, we've had it so easy, and you too.
	Compared to my parents and grandparents had to fight wars, they lived through depressions, they really took the Soviet Union threat to seriously when Khrushchev said he was going to kill all of our children conquered.
	They they had to beat that back.
	They they had when they were 19, Alex, when my parents and grandparents were 19, they were adults.
	They had learned that there were things much larger than themselves in life.
	They had actually just talking to my dad about that.
	You know, I mean, I feel like these past couple of generations have just not had something that was that scary in their, you know, in their experiences.
	It hasn't been they haven't had to grow up really fast.
	Or at all, in some cases.
	And then on the other hand, certain aspects of being a millennial are literally frightening.
	I mean, if if if you're looking at your economic future and not seeing much, well, there's a reason for that.
	The current administration's done a number on the U.S. economy.
	The current administration is is has inflicted tremendous damage on free market economics, which is where people get rich.
	People don't get rich working for the government, but now, you know, here's the thing.
	A government job, when I was growing up, a government job was where you went if there was nothing else for you.
	Today, a government job in Washington is how you get rich.
	It's it's everything's uh 180 degrees out of phase in a lot of ways.
	There still are some things that are consistent and constant from generation to generation.
	Uh and it's very common also for Alex for people who are your parents and grandparents' age to look at the younger generations and think, oh my God, we're we're we're finished, we're cooked.
	I mean, every generation looks at young people and things that I've tried to avoid becoming one of these old footy duddies.
	And for the most part, I've succeeded.
	But that notwithstanding the degree of sensitivity and insulation and lack of exposure to the way the world works is a hallmark of young people today.
	Uh I I've I have to just in my own life on a daily basis.
	If I were to take the time to expose myself, I would read about what a reprobate I am, what a scum piece of scum.
	I mean, it's every day, multiple times it is said.
	Young people today want a federal investigation when something like that happens.
	And they've they're genuinely discombobulated, and they think it's unfair, and they want to make people who say those kinds of things penalized.
	They want to shut them up and then deny them the First Amendment and so forth.
	And to me, it's just part of life.
	So it there are differences from generation to generation in this regard.
	Uh but eventually everybody grows up, because they have to.
	And it uh it then depends the background you have, how you've been raised, your own maturity, um, and your value base as to as to how you deal with things when you begin realizing how things really are.
	Sometimes it happens when you're 25, 18, 19, sometimes not till you're 50.
	But uh it's it's it's still to me fascinating, literally, to look at the sports drive-bys who think that a pro-football team calling members of the other team names, that's just that's just unacceptable.
	And there needs to be an investigation, and there needs to be suspensions.
	I mean, if the sports drive-bys had their way, half the league would be suspended every Monday.
	Or fined, or what have you.
	And this this effort to impose the Democrat Party version of political correctness on virtually everything that happens in our society is going to be the death of it.
	If people don't snap out of it at some point, tell them to stick it.
	Anyway, Alex, I appreciate the call.
	It's great to hear you.
	Try this, folks, this from the UK Daily Express, but it's a story about NASA.
	And I'm going to predict that you will not read this in a in an American paper or hear about it on an American news network.
	Climate change shock, burning fossil fuels, now said to cool the planet, according to NASA.
	Burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees causes global cooling, according to a new NASA study.
	Major theories about what causes temperatures to rise have been thrown into doubt.
	After NASA found the earth has cooled in areas of heavy industrialization where more trees have been lost and more fossil fuel burning takes place.
	Environmentalist wacos have long argued the burning of fossil fuels in power stations and for other uses is responsible for global warming and predicted temperature increases because of the high levels of CO2 produced.
	And that causes the global greenhouse effect.
	While the findings did not dispute the effects of carbon dioxide on global warming, they found that aerosols, also given off by burning fossil fuels, actually cool the local environment, at least temporarily.
	Research was carried out to see if current climate change models for calculating future temperatures were taking into account often.
	Of course they're not.
	You know, it still boils down to this.
	Whatever it is you believe on global warming, there is no data.
	It's all computer modeling, predicting the future.
	There is no data that conclusively proves there is man-made global warming.
	If there were, there wouldn't be any scientific disagreement, folks.
	It's that simple.
	If there were conclusive scientific proof, you wouldn't have any responsible scientists disagree with disagreeing with any of it.
	Loyalty to the science.
	Anyway, don't worry.
	I'm not going to waste any more time on this.
	I just found this fascinating that there's a new study out indicating that burning fossil fuels actually cools the planet.
	Much like you know what else does?
	Volcanoes.
	Yes, imagine volcanoes spewing all that gunk up there.
	Yeah, it cools the planet.
	Isn't that amazing how that works?
	And of course, we couldn't pollute the planet anywhere close to what a volcano does if we tried.
	We don't have the ability to pollute like a volcano does.
	Anyway, quick time out.
	We're going to come back here and resume with more of your phone calls.
	And yes, yes, yes, the political campaign's still on the schedule here with audio sound bites, crews, Trump, Schlong, all that coming up.
	Hang in there, be tough.
	Don't go away.
	Yeah, poor old Mandy Petenkin.
	I and a lot of other people.
	You know, but he was talking about all these things that are happening.
	Revenge, and we've got to stop with the revenge.
	You know, the revenge doesn't get anybody anywhere.
	Can be honest with you, but say ISIS or any other jihadist Islamic organization.
	It's not about revenge.
	You might think it is because they're out dealing with what they consider to be, or who they consider to be infidels.
	But the reason there's such a threat and need to be taken seriously is that militant Islam, jihad, ISIS, Al Qaeda name it, they are conquerors, folks.
	They're not getting even with anybody, mistreatment or what have you.
	It might be politically correct to say somebody like Obama might try to justify what they're doing based on the crusades, which he constantly does.
	But it has nothing to do with this.
	They are conquerors.
	Islam is a conquest ideology, not even a religion.
	And this is one of these things, if people aren't even willing to admit what we're up against, there's no way we're ever going to come to a fabled consensus in dealing with it.
	And then furthermore, if we're going to protect it by enshrouding it with political correctness, then we are only dooming ourselves.
	And there are many of us who recognize all of this and remain dumbfounded that so many others fail to see it.
	And their failure to see it is putting us all at risk.
	Really isn't any more complicated than that.
	But we have a president who grew up in madrases and was educated in madrases and has a different opinion.
	Morning call to prayer is among the most beautiful sounds in the world.
	So it's a challenge.
	But it's conquest, folks.
	It isn't revenge.
	It's not trying to get even with people for what they've done in the past.
	It's trying to eliminate what are considered to be non-believers.
	Here's uh here's Tim in Detroit.
	Tim, great that you uh waited.
	Thank you so much.
	Hello and hi.
	Great to have you on the program.
	Hello.
	Thank you, Megan Didell's Rush.
	It is a great honor to talk to you, sir.
	I think you're one of the greatest Americans on the planet Earth.
	Well, thank you very much.
	You're very welcome, sir.
	Um my comment is regarding Hillary Clinton, what she said Trump is used to uh, you know, to rally up ISIS.
	And I kind of compare it to what uh back in the 2012 election when Harry Reid commented on the floor of the Senate and said uh Mitt Romney didn't pay his taxes for the last three years.
	Um he just commented on it a couple of months ago regarding it, and he kind of laughed.
	He knew it was a big fat lie, and nobody's gonna check it out.
	The same with what what Hillary said.
	Nobody's gonna check it out.
	They have the Oh wait, wait, no, no, wait, wait, they did.
	I mean, even the staunchest Hillary defenders in the fact checker media, they look, they cannot, they've they've they've already concluded she's lying.
	There is no such recruitment video that ISIS or anybody else is using with Trump.
	Well, they're gonna use what they were saying yesterday was, well, there's a lot of video out there on the internet, and I'm sure somewhere out there an ISIS person is looking at it.
	That's what no, no.
	What's what's happening now is, and your Harry Reed analogy is pretty good.
	Here comes Dingy Harry, and he says, a friend of mine has told me to Mitt Romney hadn't made his taxes in the last three or five years.
	And the media says, Who's your friend?
	It doesn't matter.
	That's not who you should be asking me.
	You need to go ask Romney why he's not paying his taxes.
	And the media says, Well, do you have any evidence?
	Yeah, my friend told me, said Harry Reid.
	So the media says, okay.
	They run over to Romney and say, how come you haven't paid your taxes in ten years?
	Romney said, I thought you wanted to talk about contraception.
	Now you want to talk about taxes?
	What do you mean I haven't paid my taxes?
	I have paid my can you prove it?
	What do I have to do then for?
	Well, Harry Reid says you have it.
	Totally changing the argument, put Romney on defense.
	Here comes Hillary saying their ISIS has a video of Trump's comments that they're using to recruit.
	The media looked into it.
	They wanted it to be true.
	Maybe Hillary should have gotten somebody on the Senate to say that, and then they probably wouldn't have had to check it out.
	Well, no, see, what's happening now, Tim, is that the media is subtly suggesting to ISIS that they in fact put such a video together.
	Well, they are.
	And by the way, Tim, so evil.
	Don't doubt that Hillary is that that I in fact, I will guarantee you that a grant from the Clinton Foundation is being used to fund the creation of such a video by some Islamist group.
	I guarantee them to you.
	Yeah, they're so corrupt.
	And uh just one last comment.
	I believe that Donald Trump, I'm a truck driver, um, and I work with a lot of African Americans, and there's uh twenty, thirty percent of the African African Americans I work with that really like Donald Trump.
	Yeah, you know what, Tim, you're really on this on there.
	That the one of the one of the uh uh bits of information that people are stumbling across as they're examining the Trump coalition in the South is how large is the group of African Americans in these southern states and and and elsewhere too, who do support Trump right now.
	It's got everybody bamboozled.
	Well, I'll support him one hundred percent if he's our nominee.
	I'm a would you hear what Kenny Rogers you hear what Kenny Rogers said?
	No, no, what?
	Well, Kenny Rogers, something's burning.
	Uh hold them, fold them, whatever.
	Kenny Rogers, somebody just dropped in to see what condition I could.
	The singer, he said, I have to tell you, I have to tell you, I f I just I I I love hearing Trump say what he say.
	I I it's hard to disagree with Trump.
	Yeah, he well, he's telling the truth, Rush.
	He's telling the truth.
	What makes this country great is our intolerance for stupidity and our intolerance for people coming over here and trying to change our culture.
	That's what makes us great.
	What do you mean our intolerance?
	But our intolerance.
	Seems to me we're being pretty tolerant of that.
	Seems to me that the current leadership's even inviting it.
	I mean, it seems to me.
	No, no, no.
	I'm just saying I was expecting 18 different things today, FedEx, and only five of them arrived.
	And they were all in Memphis by five o'clock yesterday.
	I mean they're all on schedule on time, and only five of them are here.
	And I sent out a bunch of stuff yesterday, too, and a bunch of that stuff's not going to get delivered today.
	Hopefully it'll be tomorrow.
	Well, I mean, they've just got to be swamped.
	Which to me is a fascinating study in terms of uh how people are shopping and shipping versus, you know, online versus brick and mortar.
	And uh relying more on I mean it's been trending that way, but I mean this is I mean the economy is not they just they just revised downward the uh third quarter GDP to two percent.
	So it's the economy's not going nuts out there.
	So that doesn't explain why the overnight delivery services are backlogged and able unable to handle load.
	I think it's just more people are shopping online than ever before.
	As they learn how to do it, things like Apple Pay is over and making it easy and snap to do.
	You know, the easier it is to pay, the more fun it is to pay, the more you buy, and depending on who you are, the more you're going to debt.
	I mean, these retailers are brilliant.
	It's Apple Pay.
	It's simple.
	You have the Apple watch or the phone, you just aim it at the at the terminal, you're done.
	Nobody sees your credit card, you don't have to touch your credit card, nobody knows your credit card number, and it's a snap, and it's so much fun.
	I want to go buy something else just to use it.
	Bam, you start racking things up, and then you finally got a ship 'em.
	So we're back along.
	No, I'm not complaining about FedEx.
	I'm telling you, I understand.
	I mean, yeah, I'd rather the stuff be here, but I'm not one of these perennial complainers out there.
	That's another thing I can't.
	I hate whiners.
	I just so many people are too.
	Especially to me.
	You know what?
	I almost think I've become a confessor for people.
	It's like I'm not allowed to whine, so therefore I have to listen to everybody else's complaints, and then I have to have empathy and compassion.
	I can't ever tell anybody what I really think after they complain and whine to me.
	It's not an enviable position, folks.
	It really, really isn't.
	Here's the here's Kent Sugarland, Texas.
	Great to have you on the EIB network hive.
	Merry Christmas brush to you and yours.
	And thanks for taking my call.
	You bet, sir.
	Happy to have you here.
	Thank you.
	Uh the question I had is is was uh Hillary most likely to be the uh nominee of the Democrats.
	Do you think I'm going to have uh uh I guess a reverse operation chaos?
	Democrats are going to be voting on our open primaries and or else registering for Democrats, uh I mean registering for Republicans to uh uh mess up the Republican primary well let's say if if if they did do that who who would they be doing their own reverse operation chaos against well I I was thinking about that I thought you'd ask that it's either Jed because everybody stay home or else maybe Trump because they
	don't believe he has his hand.
	I I don't know I I don't know that that they would do their own reverse Operation Chaos although it's possible because they were so bothered by it.
	They even made a movie about it starring George Clooney.
	I didn't see it.
	Yeah I think it was the Ides of March or some such thing.
	And if the first third of the movie was how the Democrat Party was so blown out of the water by Operation Chaos.
	They were paranoid of it.
	So I think they probably would engage in something but but in in truth I think the the greatest threat well hard to name one I think the biggest problem potential problem for Hillary and the Democrat and all those powerful forces is overconfidence.
	I think they're going to end up believing the polls that show that right now the only Republican that beats Hillary is Marco Rubio.
	And that's going to change I think presidential preference polls right now are a little premature.
	They're not that instructive because it's too far out and we don't even really have nominees now so it's just interesting trends and talking points for people that live and die with polls but I don't think it tells us a lot as opposed to the polls now in Iowa New Hampshire,
	they're getting closer and closer to having uh results that you can trust because we're close now and the people voting in those cockey and the New Hampshire primary and so forth are thinking about it more seriously now.
	If we get it in January, it's going to be even more intense in that regard.
	But I think if Democrats, if Trump's a nominee, they think they're going to skate.
	And I think that they'll largely go into a defensive posture.
	They'll have all their PACs running up or research trying to destroy whoever the Republican nominee is.
	But it's Operation Chaos, reverse Operation Chaos.
	I don't know.
	I mean, if they tried it, we would spot it.
	Right off the bat, we would spot it.
	and would if the the way Operation Chaos worked is the Democrats didn't know until it was too late that it was happening.
	Because they don't listen here the Democrats do not listen this program.
	They have a signed a media watchdog outfit to listen to this program Media Matters and then media matters tells the media and the Democrats what supposedly is said by me on this program and they always get it wrong.
	They make it up take it out of context or what have you along those lines I mentioned that the weekly standard has a piece in it that very rarely has this ever happened to me.
	In fact, I can't ever remember it happening.
	I'm sure it has, because it's been 27 years I've been doing this.
	The headline of this, and it's not a hit piece, it's not a criticism, the headline's going to mislead you.
	The headline is, no, Ted Cruz did not invent the term undocumented Democrat.
	Apparently, Senator Cruz has been running around after this spat with Marco Rubio on immigration and amnesty and legalization.
	Cruz has been using the.
	term undocumented Democrat instead of illegal alien as a means of demonstrating what the Democrats' interest in this whole thing is.
	So now that you know that's the weekly standard story.
	Consider in his current quest to out Trump Trump Ted Cruz has begun referring to illegal immigrants as undocumented Democrats.
	This is hardly original the phrase has been a staple of the Rush Limbaugh program for at least five years and the joke also migrated from the limbaugh show to a Jay Leno monologue in 2013 as well.
	If there's any story here, it's that Cruz is making a strategic decision to appeal to ditto heads by lifting Russia's language.
	That is significant insofar as while Limbaugh has not endorsed Trump, he has tended to be very, very friendly toward the estate mogul on his radio show.
	Okay, so perhaps it's too much to ask for the New York Times and NPR reporters to listen to Rush regularly.
	Though given that he remains a singular figure on the right, it would certainly bolster their reporting if they tuned in at least every now and again.
	But this is a revealing episode in that it shows how little many in the mainstream media really understand about the American right.
	This is not an example of journalists consciously skewing a story.
	Instead, these two reporters at two of the most prestigious news organizations in the U.S. were simply unaware of the term.
	Because they know nothing of limbaugh.
	Well, here's what's happening is that Cruz is being crucified.
	The media can't believe that Cruz would actually call them undocumented Democrats.
	That's not what they are.
	They're illegal aliens, they're brilliant people, they're acts of love or whatever they are.
	And the weekly standard guy's point is wait a minute, you idiot reporters, do you not know that this term has been floating around for five years and that Cruz is lifting it?
	And that's not a criticism.
	This guy's criticism is of the reporters upset at Cruz because they are blind.
	They willingly ignore the news and the happenings, the thoughts, the fears, all of that of over half the people in this country, i.e.
	the American right.
	So again, weekly standard story, this isn't an example of journalists consciously skewing a story.
	Rather, these two reporters at two of the most prestigious news organizations were simply unaware of the term, because they know nothing of limbaugh.
	A massive success whose ratings are roughly on par with Morning Edition.
	Nor apparently do they know much about Googling.
	Had either reporters simply search a term undocumented Democrat, they would have seen that Cruz did not invent it.
	Indeed, Iowa Congressman Steve King, who has endorsed Cruz, used the term in an interview this spring.
	And by the way, when Cruz takes it a step further and starts using it, referring it to anchored Democrats, well, that's been out there before, too.
	That's a sweet.
	I mention this to you because it is, I'm not aware of having been credited.
	No, Gorbasm invented that word, feminizing, invented that word, now part of the American lexicon.
	Well, yes, yes, yes, in some in some corners and in some bedrooms, I do get credit for the term feminazi.
	You're right.
	But that's not, it's I wouldn't say credit, Mr. Snerdley.
	That's more like blame.
	I mean, they don't say that happily.
	They don't, they don't, they don't like the term.
	But Gorbasm, that was that was one of the early uh inventions or creations here.
	Uh and of course, it it corrects the drive-bys before I even have the chance to or even the inclination to.
	But I'll tell you what it is.
	It's it's a um it's a subtle move by Cruz because it is the ex- it's it's the only reason that the Democrats support this.
	It's not compassion, it's not humanitarianism, it's none of that.
	I'll say it again.
	The Democrat Party requires a dependent and permanent underclass.
	Now, people in that underclass can improve and move out of it, but they need to be replaced.
	The Democrat Party cannot survive if the population as a whole improves itself economically to the point Of not being dependent on government.
	If that were to ever happen, it'd be the end of the Democrat Party as we know it today.
	So they need a permanent underclass.
	They need permanent poor people, uneducated people.
	And the greater challenge speaking English, the better.
	The more dependent, the less educated, the less worldly, the better.
	Doesn't matter what the impact on the country is.
	All that matters is keeping Democrats in power.
	Because the Democrats know they're never going to live where these people live.
	So they're never going to be affected by this in their own thinking in their own minds.
	They're never going to live in barrios.
	They're not going to live in ghettos.
	They're never going to live in inner cities.
	They're never going to live where these people that they bring in the country are going to end up being.
	And they're not going to hire them.
	They're not going to be around them at all.
	That's for the rest of us to deal with.
	They're going to be insulated, but they need that permanent underclass.
	That's why I proposed, hey, look, I would support Amnesty.
	I will join the Democrats.
	I will join.
	I will change.
	In fact, I promise to do this.
	I promised to guarantee a shift in support among my listeners, sizable number, if Amnesty had a lasting provision in it that no recipient of amnesty could vote for 25 years.
	Call it a poison pill.
	I wasn't doing anything other than illustrating the truth.
	You put in a provision that the new newly amnetized, for lack of a better, can't vote for 25 years, and bingo, Democrats stopped caring about them.
	There's no compassion, there's no humanitarianism.
	Not one person, Republican or Democrat, ever called me on that.
	And let me tell you something.
	If I were at any day in the future to announce that I've changed my mind and now support comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship with no provisos, they'll be all over me.
	They'll be they'll call, they'll ask me to join them doing things here, they will celebrate all of a sudden I'd become one of the greatest guys in the country.
	But when I threw in the requirement, they can't vote for 25 years, I was universally totally ignored by everybody.
	Democrat, Republican, independent, communist, fascist, socialist, you name it, I didn't hear from one person.
	And we are back.
	Audio sound bites.
	Mark Stein sat in for Sean Hannity on a Fox News channel last night, had Ted Cruz on, and they had this little back and forth going on.
	Since you mentioned Rush, Rush a couple of days ago on his radio show said basically, after the budget, Dale, what is the Republican Party for?
	Every other senator running for president, uh, Barney Sanders, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, you uh managed to vote on this budget, Dale.
	Marco Rubio didn't.
	What's with the absence?
	Well, listen, I'll let Marco defend his own uh voting record.
	What I've tried to do is he is every day, honor the promise that I made to the men and women who elected me.
	So that has been.
	You look at this omnibus deal, that this was a betrayal.
	It was disgraceful.
	I have uh, oh, cool.
	Well, hey, let's open those up.
	I mean, you just make it more work for me if you just leave those there in the boxes.
	Well, the five FedEx things just showed up, and they brought them in here and they left them in the boxes.
	Here, hang on a minute.
	Take this here, here's a box cutter.
	Bamboo.
	There it is.
	Oops, good catch.
	Okay.
	I have been thinking about the campaign Rubio is running.
	What are you laughing at?
	I was not being disrespectful.
	I don't have time here to play nice.
	I'm in the middle of a radio program, and somebody says, here, here are the boxes.
	Well, big whoop, a lot of good that does me.
	They're not opened.
	I have to have the box cutters for somebody else to use, exactly.
	Anyway, the Rubio campaign.
	Now, people are people are talking about the fact he missed the vote, that he's not on the ground in a lot of these places, that he's not showing up.
	He's not doing the usual retail political campaign, and yet he's doing okay.
	And the theory is that it's a new day, it's a new era, what with online expanding, that the need to press the flesh is not nearly what it used to be with all the YouTube videos and everything else that you can do.
	Uh But essentially, what they have concluded, some of these analysts have concluded, what Rubio's actually doing is running a national campaign already rather than a series of primary campaigns.
	And I stopped looking at that, you know what?
	I can see that.
	That makes some sense.
	And that it's an active strategy.
	It's not, they're trying to say Rubio's, he's not serious, he's lazy.
	And others, no, no, no, it's not that.
	This is a new kind of campaign he's running.
	Uh and and uh missing the vote, so forth, because the way it was gonna go was gonna go.
	Anyway, uh, I intended to get to Donald Trump and uh Hillary saying she got schlonged by Obama, but then those boxes got delivered and unpackaged and totally interrupted me.
	So I've got to do that when we when we come back.
	Don't go away.
	Okay, on this schlong business with Trump, the Washington Post in their articles says that they're doing a linguistic investigation, by the way, an actual linguistic investigation of Trump.
	And they're trying to say that Trump was trying to use a Yiddish term, but he's too stupid, too much of a goyam to get it right.
	Which is Trump grew up in Brooklyn for crying out loud.
	I mean, it's just absurd the lengths they're going to here.
	Schlonged.
