Washington free bacon.
Obama, colon.
I'm confident my gun control measures will not violate the Second Amendment.
Really?
You're confident?
Isn't that something that either is or isn't?
Either violates it or it doesn't.
What do you mean you're confident?
Are you going to wait for some judicial review panel to decide?
It means it's up for grabs.
Which means he is violating the Constitution, the Second Amendment, and is happy to be doing so.
That's the whole point of the Obama administration to blow up that document.
The whole point of the Obama administration is to render the Constitution as something akin to a relic that's out of touch and no longer relevant.
It's no question that's the purpose of this administration.
We get right down to it.
Greetings and welcome back.
Folks, great to have you, Rush Limbaugh here at 800-282-2882.
Email address Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
You remember, did you see the story out of California that uh came with the dawn of the new year?
California, Governor Jerry Brown signed it into law, just enacted, and signed into law legislation that allows family members to report unstable gun owner relatives to the police.
And then when that happens, the police have to come and take that person's guns away from them.
So in California, it's been signed into law.
Family members are now allowed, quote unquote, to report unstable gun owner relatives.
So if you happen to live in a family that's uh mostly lib, and you're a conservative and you've got guns, they can report you as unstable.
And the definition of your instability is that you have a gun.
And at that point, the cops are required to pay you a visit.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General in Texas, uh, sorry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch has received a letter from John Culberson, Republican Texas member of the House.
He's chairman of the appropriation subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department.
He has warned Loretta Lynch against enforcing Obama's new gun laws regulations, I should say.
He said I have formally notified Attorney General Lynch that I will aggressively protect our Second Amendment rights using Congress power to purse.
He said he notified the Attorney General that if the Department of Justice attempted to create new restrictions on the constitutional rights, ownership of a gun, that he would use every tool at his disposal to immediately restrict their access to.
In other words, he says he's gonna use the power of the purse.
That means he's gonna defund or hold up the Department of Justice budget.
Now, this is a Republican, his name again is John Culperson.
We have to keep in mind here that the threat might well be empty.
Uh given, I mean the Republican leadership, the media goes crazy on this, they might withdraw it.
But at least Congressman Culberson has at least advanced the idea that with this regime overreach, it's entirely possible we could lead an effort to restrict the full funding of the budget of the Department of Justice.
Great to have you with us here, folks.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Before I get to Tom Coughlin, the Phoenix Suns, did you see, you know, Johnny Manzel obviously does not want to play for the Cleveland Browns anymore.
The second or last Sunday of the season he started and played, I forget who the Browns opposed, but he he reported Wednesday after the game, which is the first work day for NFL players after a Sunday game.
But they have to go in on Monday for injury treatment and uh 20 minutes, but Tuesday's an off day, so Wednesday is actually the first day of work.
He showed up and said he had a concussion.
Well, that's all you have to do in the NFL today.
You don't even have to have one.
All you have to do is say you've got one and they'll stop everything and put you in the concussion protocol because everybody's looking at concussions.
The movie and all the attention on head injuries and stuff.
So the player shows up and reports, hey man, hey, I got a concussion.
Stop everything, put them in a concussion protocol, and they announced, the Browns announced the next day that because Johnny Manzel was in a concussion protocol, which is the medical required behavior for each team after a player is confirmed to have had a concussion.
They announced he would not be playing in the games, the season's final game against the Steelers on Sunday.
And immediately some in the drive-by sports media said, wait just a minute.
If anybody else had claimed they had a concussion, there would be instant sympathy, compassion, uh concern.
But since it was Man Zell, a lot of people in the media didn't believe him, thought he was making it up and faking it.
And Saturday, he was reported to be in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood resort and casino.
People at work there claimed they saw Manzell.
This ends up being reported on the Sunday NFL pregame shows.
You don't like Manziel in the NFL sports media for a host of easy parties too much and...
Whatever they don't like.
It was further discovered that Mansell was wearing a blonde wig and a mustache, trying to disguise himself at Planet Hollywood, but he screwed up because when it came time to pay his bill, he asked that the bill be comped, because he's a star, and put on his room charge, which was also comped, because he's a star.
He's not comp because he's a star, he's comp because he goes out there and blows a lot of money.
So they want to keep him coming, so they give him the room and whatever for nuts the way they work.
Anyway, that led to curiosity was discovered, and um he'd even tried to fake that he was in Cleveland Saturday night by posting a picture of himself on the floor with his dog and geotagging the picture as Avon Ohio, Cleveland suburb where he supposedly lives.
So anyway, that's the thing with Manzel.
Yesterday, Tom Kaufman uh announced that he's leaving the New York Giants amidst some confusion.
Uh it's obvious to me he did not want to leave the New York Giants, but the New York Giants think for a host of reasons they need to make a change.
So he was the good soldier and said he was moving on, but he let it be known that he wanted a coach again.
He's not maybe not through.
He's just 69 years old for crying out loud.
He's in good shape, hadn't been to a playoff game, has not, they've either won the Super Bowl twice in the last seven years, or they have not won a playoff game outside of that.
So there's uh there's a dearth of playoff appearances and victories, so they got to move on.
At his farewell press conference at the Giants facility yesterday, a reporter said, What has your reaction been to all the players who have uh social media said some beautiful things about you over the last day?
What is your feeling about those guys and and what do they mean to you?
Now listen to this answer because that what triggered this answer was the reporter asking about social media.
Coughlin doesn't do it, he doesn't understand it, he doesn't want and didn't want social media anywhere near the sideline during games the NFL doesn't permit it.
Listen to his answer.
Whether they participated in social media or not, they're all very, very special people in our lives because you know side by side, we're hooked together for life.
Yeah, it takes some accomplishment to get it done, but it's more about the sacrifice and the day in and day out grind, getting to know people, knowing who they are, how consistently they are, they perform.
How tough are they?
How tough are they?
We've lost a little bit of that in our game.
I got a toothache, I'm out of the game.
What?
You got a what?
A stiff neck.
I got a stiff neck 24 hours a day, every day of my life.
What the hell has That got to do with playing.
That to me, folks, was fascinating.
I got a toothache coach I can't play.
I got a stiff neck coach I can't play.
He said, We've lost some toughness in our game.
We've lost a little bit.
There's no question.
Now the NFL is still.
Don't let anybody tell you it's powder puff.
It isn't.
The way it's played, it can't possibly be.
It's it's a game for manliness and men.
But even the NFL has been overwhelmed and overtaken by the culture of millennialism.
And it's it's I was touched on this yesterday when I when I talked about how we're losing moral authority and that there's no there aren't any guardrails anymore.
There doesn't seem to be any bottom on bad behavior, and even where you would normally find like adults, uh adult representatives, uh, people of some age and experience who would, by virtue of have some wisdom, doesn't seem to exist anymore.
You don't seem to be to go anywhere for wisdom because everybody's been overtaken by this this culture of me, me, me and how I feel, and how my feelings justify everything that I do, and don't you dare criticize me, and don't you dare hurt my feelings, and don't you dare do anything that I might be uncomfortable, don't you dare?
I might cry, make me upset, I don't want to be upset, I shouldn't have to be upset.
Which seems to be the rallying cry of millennials.
Don't upset me!
I don't have to be upset, I don't want to be upset.
Don't microaggress me, don't whatever it is.
So Coughlin 69, I think, is referencing that.
When I had this story yesterday, I didn't get to it.
I intended to, but it dovetails now.
It's from a website called yardbarker.com.
The Phoenix Suns are having one of the more disappointing seasons in the NBA this year.
After a surprising 48 win 2013-2014 season, the team suffered a setback last season.
They've really taken a dive this season.
The team is currently on a nine-game losing streak, which includes losses to the Denver Nuggets, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Sacramento Kings, and most recently a 20-point blowout to the Lakers.
Times are not good in Phoenix.
What could possibly be the reason for the Suns' troubles this year?
The team owner, Robert Sarver, thinks that it is millennial culture.
Sarver used Marquis Morris as an example, saying that Marquis Morris hasn't been able to shake off his brother's departure from the team from July of 2015.
Here's the owner of the team speak.
He said, I'm not, I'm not sure it's just the NBA.
This is an interview to the Arizona Republic.
My whole view of the millennial culture is that they have a tough time dealing with any setback whatsoever.
And Markeith Morris is the perfect example.
He had a setback with his brother in the offseason, and he can't recover from it.
I'm not sure if it's the technology or the instant gratification of being online, but the other thing is, I'm not a fan of social media, Sarber said.
I tell my kids it's like fantasyland.
The only thing people put online are good things that happen to them, or things that they make up.
And it creates unrealistic expectations.
We've had a number of setbacks this year that have taken a toll on us, and we haven't been resilient.
Therefore, it's up to our entire organization to step up their game.
Well, what is this setback?
What happened with Markeith Morris and his brother?
Well, he got rid of it.
His brother was no longer on the team.
He was unable to deal with it.
Oh my god!
I lost my brother!
Ha ha!
Let's go!
I can't get up!
I lost my brother.
Brother's still alive, playing somewhere else, just not in the Phoenix Suns.
I understand these comments about social media.
I have been concerned about this from the first day as I became aware of it.
When I saw people just openly volunteering every morsel of information about Their lives.
Giving up any pretense of privacy.
Just vomiting practically online, everything about because they wanted fame.
They wanted followers.
They wanted to be known and they wanted to think of themselves as famous.
And they get 10 or 15 people follow.
This illusion that they're stars is everybody wants to be a star because the way the media treats entertainment stars, what a life.
What that looks great.
Nothing ever goes wrong.
All the money, all the partying, all the great possessions, all the great friends, everybody loves you.
That's the picture they say.
They all want to get part of it.
So they create online these identities of themselves where they are living that kind of life, and they brag about it and tell everybody about it.
And it's mostly made up.
And even the lives of these successful stars are not how they're portrayed.
Those people are just as miserable as anybody else.
They have ups and downs just like anybody else.
It's just the media doesn't report on those unless it's unavoidable.
Because the media wants access.
The media slavishly, the media's a bunch of groupies when it entertainment media.
I mean, they get to go to these parties into the auspices of covering them, but at least they're there and they're rubbing elbows.
So they're not going to be critical of it.
So a totally false impression is created in impressionable people.
And so everybody ends up lying about themselves in social media and online.
And when real setbacks happen, they're not able to deal with it.
Because they don't, I mean, and and f not only are they not able to deal with it, they don't think they should have to.
They shouldn't be.
Now, what is all this college campus rot is all about?
They don't want to hear things that upset them.
Is there going to be anything that they disagree with or anything that might slightly offend?
They don't want to hear it.
Making me nervous and so forth.
It's childish.
Spoiled, rotten, childish.
But it's not just the kids.
I mean, we we my point is we have adults now who have been raised with that culture, who have now become or assumed positions of responsibility and authority where you would expect some wisdom and the ability to be offering guidance to some of these people and offer them to man up advance their maturity or whatever, but they're in it.
Well, there are fewer and fewer people capable of this.
It's almost like we're two generations deep into this total.
I no, I don't want to talk for you.
It makes me nervous.
I had to hear people yelling at them.
I don't want to hear it.
Mom runs over, turns it off.
Sorry, sorry, little genie, I don't want you to be upset.
That's right.
I don't want to be a dick, give me.
And we've got adults now with that attitude.
And the guidance counselors, teachers, coaches, you name it.
And Coughlin.
Why you got a two thing you can't play?
Come on.
I know people in my day play with a broken leg.
Jack Youngblood.
Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl Steelers 1980 played with a broken leg.
That wasn't very smart.
Well, he still did it.
He wanted to play the last chance he was going to be in a Super Bowl.
Kind of guy would never take a day off for a toothache is Coplin's point.
Back to the phones we go.
EIB network.
This John and Jacksonville, Florida.
Hey, John, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hey, hello.
Is anybody there?
I'm here.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
I just I heard a bunch of noise there.
It's not like a hurricane happening.
I didn't.
Oh, yeah, I was standing next to a guy cleaning the floors.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That would explain it.
All right.
Well, good morning.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Um, the reason I called was to take a minute to discuss some of the uh presidential action on the gun show loophole.
And the fact that there really isn't one, but yet all the media keeps talking about how it's going to close the gun show loophole, but it does not exist.
Well, I didn't.
I didn't get a chance to watch all of Obama because he was still going when the program started.
So I didn't hear him talking about the gun show loophole.
Right.
Well, it was many m multiple times while I was on hold waiting to talk to you.
Uh they did uh newsbreak in.
And uh three times during that, that the the lady as you said uh you know talked about how he's closing the gun show loophole and the internet sales loophole and and there's really not one.
Um if you go to a gun show at the license dealer and and display guns for sale on your table, you have to do a call-in, a background check, just like you're at your store.
And in fact, you you're forbidden from selling guns anywhere but at the address on at your store or at an organized gun show.
So if you're a license dealer, you can't just go meet somebody at the Sears parking lot and make a gun transaction.
That's not legal.
Well, this you know, you're you're I know you're right.
This gun show loophole is nothing more than a manufactured distraction.
It may have been a reality in the old days.
But the truth of the matter is the vast majority of gun show sellers are dealers with licenses who are simply doing a satellite location that day at the gun show rather than at the shop.
But the gun show loophole just sounds so sexy, the gun show loophole.
And it's a it's an ability to taint or an effort to taint gun shows and so forth, but uh it's one of these things that doesn't really exist.
It's this phantom target that uh Obama and people like him on the left can uh aim at.
I like that.
Amen.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Uh constant consideration for twenty-seven years here on the EIB network.
Here's uh Rebecca in Inglewood, Colorado.
Glad you waited.
And welcome to the program.
Hi.
I'm I'm glad you got through.
Yes.
Um my issue is is that with the doctor thing and the guns, what is going to happen is people are going to fear going to their doctor for certain things.
I'm going to tell my kids, don't tell them anything.
And that's that's such an issue.
That's what they're doing.
Well, it does look, I understand it.
It blows the whole notion of doctor-patient confidentiality, Sky.
Hi, if you go to the doctor aware that he can, if he decides that you're mentally disturbed, even just that day, you don't have to be he doesn't see you every day, obviously.
But all the doctor has to do is consider or worry or fear that a patient might be unbalanced.
And if he thinks he's required to report here, let's give you a here's the way the doctor's gonna think about it.
So a screwball comes in, a regular patient that he knows, but that day it is a patient's wacko, doing some weird things.
And the doctor said, what if this guy goes out and gets in an accident?
Or what if this guy kills himself or hurts himself, and I haven't reported it.
Oh my god, what kind of what are they gonna come after me?
Why didn't they re why didn't you report it?
So he's gonna feel pressure to report the patient.
Just to keep the feds off.
I mean, this is the way our society is being conditioned.
Fear of the government to enforce compliance with government policy.
So if you've got a doctor, they're already under the gun because of Obamacare.
They're already targets.
I mean, Obama's out there talking about how they do unnecessary surgeries to pad their income, uh, they do unnecessary tests.
I mean, they're aware of that.
So the government's already got them in the microscope in the crosshairs, and then now the the doctors are supposed to report unbalanced behavior or mental illness.
And doctors in California uh uh can have uh their their patients' homes raided uh you have doctors now permitted to ask patients about guns in their homes.
If the doctors fear the government, they're gonna take the safe approach and report.
And then the government says, okay, we've had a doctor report that patient X over here is a nutcase.
That puts them on notice.
So you're right, people if they as they become aware of this, are going to be probably withholding some information from a doctor so the doctor doesn't think that they're wacko.
Yeah.
I agree.
Well, thank you, Russ.
Thank you.
I think all you're doing.
I'm sorry, she's gonna say she'd read all the books.
I appreciate that, I really do.
We uh we had a banner uh year ago, the uh the two Rush Revere Time Travel Adventures with exceptional Americans and two more books this past year.
The most recent Rush Revere and the Star Spangled Banner.
Um I appreciate that, I really do.
But these are legitimate concerns people are gonna have.
And you have to understand this exactly the kind of thing that the regime banks on.
I mean, the IRS is probably the most successful collection agency in the history of the world.
And how do they do it?
Fear.
Of what the IRS can do to them.
Even though the odds of the IRS actually zeroing in on a citizen are not very high, the people they do zero in on often have horror stories to tell.
So you do whatever you can.
You know how many people who willingly knowingly overpay their taxes?
I don't know if you know people if you if you withhold, if you're if your taxes are withheld, there's not much you can do.
Well, you can.
You could actually have more withheld than necessary by claiming fewer exemptions, but a lot of people do this.
I know a lot of people overpay some uh significant amount, little amount, what just because they think it's gonna buy them anonymity, or the way they figure it is this.
I've had them tell me.
They think their return or they come up for audit.
And an IRS agent's going through the return and look at it and say, well, this guy paid more than he should have based on this.
We don't need to audit this guy to throw it away.
That's what they hope happens.
But it's not by any means guaranteed to work because the IRS has successfully constructed this attitude of fear in so many people that they just have to go.
This is what the regime is trying to do with as many other departments of government as they can.
And now when you're empowering doctors to report instability or mental illness, uh, and empowering doctors to conduct surveys of their patients on gun ownership, where the guns are in the house, who has access to where is the ammo?
You have a lot of people, doctors are gonna lead the pack of being afraid not to report, and they're going to use a wide berth in determining somebody's mental illness.
Because the last thing a doctor's gonna want is some knock on the door from a federal agent claiming so-and-so, one of your patients just got into an accident out there, and you didn't tell us that they're mentally unstable.
So now you have a liability issue.
This is the way totalitarian regimes work.
I tried to warn everybody about this before all of this happened.
But sadly, this is the kind of stuff that before it happens, nobody wants to believe is possible.
Ah, come on, Rush exaggerate.
Ah, come on, Russia big paranoia.
Come on, Rush.
Can't you just can't you get past the all they are is Democrats, screw it, Russ?
They're gonna they're gonna be out of office and they don't worry about it.
They're gonna do that kind of never happen in America.
Right.
Average U.S. gasoline price drops below two dollars a gallon.
Can anybody tell me what government policy has resulted in this?
Can any of you name for me the aggressive action taken by, say, the regime or say Congress or anybody in government, can you give me any policy that has resulted in the price of gasoline lowering?
Because I I asked for this reason.
When the gasoline price goes up, there are people out there who think that there's a single person in charge of it.
Or a single oil company, or in some cases the entire oil industry.
But the point is they somebody's out there manipulating the price and screwing the little guy.
Every time gas prices skyrocket, there's somebody responsible for it.
And when gas prices skyrocket, members of Congress, politicians left and right stand up in righteous indignation and say they're going to introduce legislation that will lower the price of gasoline.
We're going to work on this, we're going to expand the reserves, we're going to tap the reserves, we're going to do whatever they come up with, whatever they're going to do, they're going to lower the price of gasoline just like they're going to lower your cable bill, right?
Okay, so in recent months, the price of gasoline at the pump has been plummeting.
And now the average U.S. gasoline price has dropped below $2 a gallon.
And somebody tell me who did it.
I know a lot of liberal Democrats instinctively are going to think Obama did it because he cares about the little guy.
And if the Democrats did it because they care about the little guy.
And if the Democrats did it because they hate big business and they hate big oil, and big oil deserves this, and so the Democrats have to be the ones that did it.
But the fact of the matter is there isn't anybody who did it.
And there isn't a policy that did it.
There isn't any legislation, there is no activism, there hasn't been any protest march, any riots.
I mean, there is nothing that has taken place that you would consider to be artificial that has resulted in this dramatic drop in price of gasoline into pump.
Do you know what the reason really is?
Well, the what was that?
No, it's not.
No, it's not that it's an election year.
But see, the cynical.
The city who, if it's an election year that results in the price of gasoline plummeting, who benefits?
People in power?
Would that be the Democrats or would it be the Republicans?
Republicans who run the House and the Senate.
Obama's over there in the White House, so who gets credit for it if you say an election year is the explanation, then that has to mean government did it.
Which means government can, on a whim, just grab a lever and lower the price of gas, or alternatively grab a lever and raise the price.
Except none of that's the reason.
The giant umbrella answer to this is the market did it.
Gasoline prices are plummeting because of the market.
Meaning free market economics.
The price of gasoline is now cheaper.
This amazes me.
Than bottled water.
Imagine these oil industry guys, look at what they have to do to put together a gallon of gasoline.
They've got to go to the absolute worst parts of the world.
They've got to fight pestilence and hunger and poverty and insects and mud and the elements to find oil.
And then they get all greasy and stuff, getting the oil up, and then they get the oil up, then they're going to move it all over the world and ship it, they've got to pipe it, they've got to pipeline it, wherever they got to do, and then they've got to refine it, and after they refine it, then they've got to distribute it to these gas station.
Can you believe all of that?
And they're getting less for it than guys who stick a jug under the faucet in the bathroom and fill it up and go to the grocery store and sell that.
And don't make the mistake of thinking that every bottle of water you buy comes from some imaginary fresh artesian spring somewhere.
A lot of these companies just turning on the tap.
No, it's fracking.
I mean, the actual answer is fracking.
The average U.S. gasoline price drop below $2 a gallon is due to fracking, which the Democrat Party hates, which Barack Obama hates.
They despise it.
The environmentalist wackos hate it.
Solar panels had Nothing to do with it.
Neither did wind turbines or windmill farms.
There's no alternative energy explosion that has anything to do with the drop in price of gasoline at the pump.
It's fracking.
A way of getting oil that's relatively new.
It's called horizontal drilling for lack of, I mean, if that's what you want to picture to understand what fracking is, it's horizontal drilling.
And they've simply added to the supply.
There are some who say that because of fracking, we have greater oil reserves in the United States and North America than they do in Saudi Arabia.
As the price of gasoline plummets, so of course, first does the price of oil, the barrel price for oil.
While this is great for consumers, it's not good for some in the all business.
Some of them can't stay in business at these prices.
It costs more to bring it up than they can sell it for.
So it means leave it in the ground.
Anyway, quick time out, my friends, sit tight.
We've got much more straight ahead after this.
Don't go.
Here's Brian and Iowa as we head back the phones.
Brian, I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hello.
So I was talking to your screen caller about the uh unlawful executive order that our president has done again.
But uh if you Well you well, let me ask you, Brian, before you let me ask you a question.
Are you aware that the president started crying today at the end of the ceremony or the appearance in the Easter room where he announced his his uh executive action?
Do you know he started got a tear running down his cheeks, sort of crying about variety magazines even written about this?
It was such a great act.
No, I had no clue.
I just you know, I listened to him for a little bit and then I shut him off because I can't stand to listen to him.
Uh what I what I was saying was if you're looking back at the last five mass shootings that we've had, um, each one of those people had passed a criminal background check.
Yeah.
They they had no criminal activity on their rap sheet, they had nothing on them.
And they all, by definition, were loony.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And and you know, how is it that you're gonna close up these loopholes?
You can't, you can't do it.
I I buy guns privately through people off of Facebook.
Um so how can the old Facebook loophole, eh?
Yeah.
How can you how can you do how can you stop it?
It there's nothing.
Um if I'm around a bunch of my friends that hunt, uh, and I say, hey, you know, I like I like that gun, and he says, Oh, you know, I don't like it, and I'm like, well, I'll buy it from you.
Ryan, I'm gonna do it.
I just did a private purchase that you can't stop.
Let me tell you how they're gonna stop it.
You've asked a really good question, and the answer to your question is what I think this is really all about.
This little thing off to the side here, where your doctor can ask you about guns you own and where they are in your house.
Do you know what happens if you refuse to answer?
No.
The doctor notes that you refuse to answer.
And that answer is assumed to mean you are not being truthful, and therefore you do have guns, and you become a person of suspicion.
The other thing that they're going to do is now doctors have to report any of their patients who they think are mentally ill or unstable.
Brian, the objective of this, as I said, they they know they can't stop your purchase and sale example that you gave, buying a gun on Facebook, or trading guns with some hunter out there in the field with the wild boars running around.
They can't stop that.
The ongoing effort is to stigmatize people like you, Brian.
The effort on the part of Obama and the Democrat Party, they know full well they can't succeed in Getting guns out of the hands of people unless they succeed in getting the guns out of the hands of people that don't commit crimes.
The law-abiding.
So the challenge for them is how do they get guns out of the hands of the law-abiding?
And that's what they're that's what this effort is all aimed at.
This effort is aimed at stigmatizing.
It is an effort to allow them to create in as many minds as possible the very fact you have a gun means you pose a threat.
And if they can get a doctor one way or the other, or some other agent permitted to report on you, then they can find out and have what they would hope for in the future to be a legal way to go get your gun from you.
Because they know there's no, they can't, they can't pass, they're not going to abridge Second Amendment, they're going to get it written out.
They've got to find a way culturally to pull this off.
And they're very patient about it.
May take them ten years to do this.
Back in a sec, folks.
Okay, the Republican presidential campaign.
We turn to that next after our obscene profit timeout.
Coming up now.
