Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane.
Great to have you here, back at it, middle of the week.
Hump day, El Rushbow behind the golden EIB microphone.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program 800 28282.
Email address Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
For those of you who have finally begun to watch, or maybe you have watched it, the Netflix documentary, The Making of a Murderer.
The Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker has announced he is not gonna pardon the guilty.
Not gonna happen.
It's a state issue.
Obama can't do it.
Scott Walker, the governor, has 200,000 people have signed petitions.
They think the cops framed the two guys.
I look, I don't want to talk too much about it because people who haven't seen it are finally getting spurred into action to watch this thing.
And so I I I I mean you can Google to find out the answer to this thing.
It's it's uh years old, the events in this thing.
But I I don't want to be responsible for uh spoilers, but the uh governor has just said, hey, I'm not pardoning these guys, I'm not responding to any of this.
They were found guilty in Wisconsin courts of law by Wisconsin juries, and that's it.
Uh we're not we're not gonna respond.
He didn't, I'm not using my words, he didn't say what I'm saying here, but the upshot is that uh all this petition signing isn't gonna have any effect.
I'm standing up, he says, for our criminal system, judicial system here in uh in Wisconsin.
At the root of this case is the people signing these petitions because of this documentary, because of the way it was put together, they believe the cops planted the evidence that convicted Stephen Avery.
And I'll tell you what I think.
I think they may have in a couple of instances, but not because they thought he wasn't guilty.
I uh I I think they thought he was guilty and he did they they didn't want him slithering away, but I mean I'm not trying to impugn anybody by saying this either.
Planted evidence by no means would be a first.
But that um aside from colorful descriptions of this thing, which I could offer, I'm not I'm not gonna get too much more into the content until a whole much more people have seen this.
Um it's a it's an amazing when I when I first started watching this.
Are you kidding me?
People have become addicted to this?
I mean, the first days you have the same reaction, Bram.
When I was in the first 30 minutes, I said, are you kidding me?
And I said, I okay, it must be a reason to stick with it, so I stuck with it here, and after about I don't know, second or third episode, I figured I was fully immersed in it.
It just kind of snuck up on me.
But if you would have told me that I would have invested 10 hours to watch this thing based on the first 30 minutes of it, I would have told you that I have lost my mind.
It's have you watched it, Dawn?
Have you uh do you even know how to watch Netflix?
You you okay, okay.
Uh well, just checking you can't dial in Netflix on your cable.
Since they were your satellite, so you you've got to know.
Uh just checking.
Anyway, folks, here's the phone number, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
And the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
I wonder if President Obama will shed any tears over the North Koreans.
I mean, he got all teary-eyed yesterday thinking about the loss of life because of guns in America.
So the North Koreans announced another nuclear test out there.
The Iranians, the same thing, by the way.
Afghanistan is falling apart.
Afghanistan's being propped up.
Apparently, I watched Ralph Peters today on Fox this morning.
Ralph Peters said that Afghanistan right now being proc propped up by special forces.
Soldiers, that that's about the extent to which uh we have any any actual operations on the ground and amount to anything.
Then in the stack as I get to the program today, remember the name Joe de Geneva, former Justice Department official, he was uh on cable TV regularly during the 90s, during the Clinton impeachment era, and his uh lovely and gracious uh wife Victoria Tenzing.
Well, anyway, De Genova is out there today claiming that the FBI has so much evidence on Hillary, and they just keep gathering it, that it is overwhelming, that if Loretta Lynch,
the Attorney General, does not charge her that there is going to be a revolt in the FBI and in parts of the Justice Department, because it will mean that protected, politically protected political operatives and employees at the State Department and elsewhere, can get away with trafficking in classified information.
If Hillary Clinton is not charged, he says the evidence is overwhelming in that the FBI just is continuing to gather it, and he said it it cannot fathom that she wouldn't be, given the weight of the evidence, and the only reason she might not be would be because of politics and Loretta Lynch and Obama running a DOJ and not wanting to do any damage to the Democrat Party by indictory.
So I have that story coming up for you as the program unfolds.
Some some things from yesterday held over that I put right on the top of the yesterday stack.
But back to North Korea for just a second.
I wonder if Obama's gonna go on television and cry about the Norks.
This would be the famous Kim Jong-un successfully testing a hydrogen bomb.
Or does he only cry about gun control when he's talking about handguns and rifles in America?
Remember Obama used to say, he used to say that stopping nuclear proliferation was his highest priority.
And that's why he's cut our nuclear arsenal.
I mean, to the bone.
There have been drastic reductions in our nuclear arsenal.
And he did this, he said to show the way to the Iranians and North Koreas to show the rest of the world that we don't pose a threat.
Essentially acknowledging that the nuclear arms race exists in the world because of the United States.
That we pose the great threat because we're the great Satan because we're the lone superpower.
But if we reduce ours, the people around the world, see the United States pose has no problem, and we don't have to be all ramped up, and we can get rid of ours too.
And that's what Obama whether he actually believes that or just says stuff like that, I uh still up for grabs.
I frankly don't think he really cares about.
Well, if he cared about other nations disarming, he wouldn't have done the deal with the Iranians granting them effective permission to do a nuke anyway, so I think Obama's all about cutting the United States down to size.
And if that results in former enemies or current enemies, nations and states and otherwise expanding and growing in stature and size, and so be it.
Price we have to pay for our quote-unquote crimes we have committed as a nation, as a superpower since the days of our founding.
You know, Obama yesterday, I was thinking a little bit more about his press conference.
Now it wasn't a press conference, it was a pep rally in the East Room of the White House, and he uh he said, I and when by the way, whenever anybody does this, for example, somebody says, hey, look, this isn't about the money, it's about the money.
So when Obama said, I don't know I don't know why people think I want to get guns out of his hands, that's not what this is.
That's what it's about.
And then he starts talking about Australia and Australia is where they've tried to get guns out of the hands of everybody.
But remember, this is a guy, folks, who told you if you like your doctor and your health plan, you get to keep it.
This is a guy who told you if you like your plan, no sweat.
When Obamacare hits, you can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor.
Furthermore, your premiums are gonna go down $2,500.
Same guy who told you that, told everybody yesterday, oh no, no, no, I don't want to get uh guns off street out of people's hands.
That's what I'm aiming for here.
It certainly is.
You know, there are all kinds of stories today about Bill Clinton and his sexual predator behavior back in the 90s.
Some of these stories are literally fascinating.
Some of them are about how the Clintons don't seem to realize the potential minefield.
The Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and others' story is as though they're in a state of denial.
Why wouldn't they be?
They got away with it.
Not a single thing.
What happened to Bill Clinton was, and compared to what could have happened, nobody was he had to settle with Paula Jones for $850,000 is after James Carville had said, Yeah, yeah, it's what you get when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you're gonna happen.
Never know what you're gonna get, and Paula Jones is what you guess.
So it was perfectly fine to rip women who'd come forward, alleged sexual abuse, alleged that they'd been raped, or perfectly fine for Clinton and his team to put them down to impugn them to cast them as liars.
And it was Mrs. Clinton in charge of all that.
Clinton lost his law license for a year.
He had to settle with Paula Jones for 850 grand, and that was it.
And then after that, he assumes the position of brightest star in the Democrat Party.
Why wouldn't they be in denial?
If they got away with it, then why should it be a factor now in their minds?
How can anybody dredging it up cause them any harm today when it really didn't hurt them back then?
And what they're not counting on is the cultural differences.
We it's a different country today, particularly among young people.
Millennials, it's a much different country than it was back then.
Back then, uh seems like the majority reaction, hey, hey, it's just sex, and it's uh not getting away the way he does the job.
Come on, just a bunch of Republicans trying to nail a guy, it's no big deal.
Back off.
But that's not the cultural attitude toward the abuse of women today, particularly on college camp eye, and where uh other places that millennials hang out.
But there are even liberal drive-by media types writing stories about this, and they are revisiting some of the juiciest details of all of this.
And by the way, a confirmation is another story here.
All of this, I'm setting the table.
We'll get to this as the program unfolds.
And I mentioned yesterday that I had seen, or maybe it was yesterday, I saw it on Monday.
This is Wednesday, right?
So yeah, Monday Clinton's in New Hampshire is this first campaign appearance for Hillary.
And I thought, when I looked at it, it was going on during show prep and some during the show, if this guy's looked old, looked feeble, looked fragile, uh, was rambling incoherently, the crowd was not mesmerized, and he did not have them in the palm of his hand, particularly women, you know, a bunch of women as they're want to do, they stack the crowd behind the podium.
So when the person speaking, you see a supposedly adoring crowd at wrapped attention.
Well, they did that, but there were women rolling their eyes, and Clinton didn't, he didn't even address that.
It was just really, I thought strange.
It was, it was not in any way remindful of the Bill Clinton of the 90s, and a couple people writing about it today would have the same reaction to it.
Uh and uh some are even contrasting the you know, Clinton, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump same age.
And you wouldn't know it looking at them.
Clinton looks like he could be Trump's dad.
The energy level, no comparison whatsoever.
Speaking of Trump, the drive-bys are fascinated.
Trump is now attacking Ted Cruz on the eve of the Hawkeye Cawkeye.
Crew is still leading there by five.
And uh Trump is alternately we a direct hit, and then by uh backdoor attack hitting Cruz on his eligibility, Going after crews on the birther aspect of whether or not Cruz is qualified.
And we've got the drive-by media sitting here in anticipation, wondering if Trump is going to get away with this.
They are eagerly waiting.
Trump does this, goes after Cruz.
They think it's all going to depend on what happens on talk radio if Trump gets away with it or not.
That it's going to be me and others on talk radio who will determine whether or not Trump succeeds with this attack on Cruz.
And then they're saying, you know, remember what happened the last time that Trump went after Cruz, Rush Limbaugh went after Trump and Trump backed down.
People have forgotten, and it wasn't that long ago, why it is that I sounded a warning bell to Trump on that.
It wasn't the fact that he had gone after Cruz.
It was the way he did it.
I'm not going to sit here and tell people not to go after that's crazy.
But the way Trump went after Cruz is very, very dangerous because he was using left-wing liberal language.
Going after crews the way a liberal Democrat was saying, well, whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't want to do it that way.
But as far as Trump hitting Cruz or vice versa, have at it, boys.
I'm not going to sit here and say shouldn't happen.
But the drive-by is, you know, one day they think what happens here is inconsequential and nothing more than a comedy act.
And in the next day, what happens here determines the outcome of presidential elections.
And then the next day we're responsible for all the anger in the country.
So they can't make up their minds what happens here on a daily basis.
And all they would have to do is listen, which they don't do.
They go to watchdog websites to read what happened on this program each and every day.
So we have the sound bites of Trump going after Cruz.
Cruz reacting to it, still not uh falling for it, still not taking the bait on it.
Hillary Clinton yesterday was stymied with the question she was asked to explain the difference in a Democrat and a socialist.
And she couldn't.
And that's because there isn't any difference.
In a Democrat and a socialist.
Theories abound as to what Obama was doing yesterday with that pep rally on gun control.
The first thing he was doing was attacking the Constitution.
Make no mistake.
Um I have an objective.
I've had it for a long time, and that is to educate as many people possible about liberalism and how it operates, how to recognize it, what it is.
And it's an ongoing thing.
It'll never end.
It's an ongoing educational process.
Even after people learn it, uh there's something about socialism that just attracts people.
I mean, it can be socialism is the biggest fraud, one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on humanity.
It's been demonstrated to be a fraud time and time again.
It's never ever worked, and yet it still seduces people.
And the reasons for that are psychological in uh in large part, but they're also finance.
The promise of Santa Claus, the promise of equality and sameness and fairness, and uh how that feeds into human nature.
It just works, even though it's demonstrated to be a total lie.
Socialism is never even gotten close to working.
By illustration, we can have eight years of robust economic expansion, robust job expansion expansion, eight years that actually led to a total of 20,
at least 15 years of job expansion, wealth accrual, people's incomes going up, and everything deficits being reduced, the debt being reduced, the number of jobs created expanding left and right.
This was the Reagan 80s.
People lived through it.
And by 1992, all who had lived through it had been convinced that none of what they lived through it actually happened.
That it was all smoke and mirrors, that it was all fake, and Bill Clinton's elected.
Now the reason, One of the reasons is that the Republican Party stopped explaining why things were working so well in the 80s.
And that's its own bottomless pit because the Republican Party is not conservative, never really has been, so doesn't tout it.
So the effort is ongoing to try to get people to understand how liberalism is the fraud, how socialism is the fraud, empty promises and so forth, and how everything that liberals do is political.
It's not about compassion.
It's not about saving lives.
And that's why the tears are phony.
It's not about any of that.
It's all about amassing and accruing and cementing more power for people in the Democrat Party at the highest levels of government.
That's the purpose of liberalism and socialism as far as they're concerned.
And so nothing's real.
Everything is spin.
And I will expand on that when we get back.
Your guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, deceit, lies.
And yes, even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh at 800 282882.
So, look, very briefly.
That whole thing yesterday is an example, Obama's pep rally.
The whole thing was spin.
And by that I mean none of it was real.
It was all designed to present a emotion, an attitude that is not real.
Liberals, by definition, cannot be honest about their true objectives, never get elected.
They would never win arguments.
So they have to mask and camouflage everything, and they usually do so under the auspices of compassion and equality and fairness, sameness, kindness, and so forth.
When they're actually some of the most vicious, mean spirited extremists among us.
Yesterday was a classic example.
So I said the same guy told you you could keep your plan in your doctor as he was preparing to deny you the right to do so.
Same guy who told your premiums coming down 250 told you yesterday, oh no, no, no, I don't want to get into a gun.
It's not about getting guns out of people's nuts.
No, no, no, no, no.
Most certainly was.
The purpose of the long-term purpose of that was to stigmatize legal gun ownership.
That's the objective.
Now they can't come out and say that's what they want to do.
Who'd support them?
Obama can't do a pep rally and say, we're aiming for legal gun owners.
We are aiming for people who are not committing crimes.
They're the people we're focusing on, they're the people whose guns we're gonna go.
They can't say that, but everybody knows that's what they want to do.
So how do they go about?
Well, they can't get anywhere near honesty on this.
They have to cast this as something entirely different.
Something rooted in love, of children, love, of people, compassion for the innocent or what have you, little tear here or there proves and demonstrates the compassion.
And then you set about to stigmatize the very group of people you're targeting as the as the problem.
And it's yesterday it was guns.
Uh, one day it's doctors.
Uh the next day it's the rich, whoever the targets, the next day it's big oil.
After that, it's big pharmaceutical.
Well, the targets keep rotating, the attacks never end.
And the purpose is to create in the minds of as many people as possible, and all of these groups are the enemy of average ordinary Americans, and that people like Obama are there to protect you and defend you from these vicious enemies.
When in fact, and all of that that happens is spin.
When I say that everything the Democrats do, and everything in the left does is rooted in politics, it's ironic because a lot of people think only the Republicans do politics.
And when they think of Republicans doing politics, what that means to them is Republicans are always saying no.
Republicans are always objecting.
Republicans are always standing in the way.
Because that's how Democrats and the media portray them.
And that's what politics becomes.
Politics becomes saying no, politics becomes gridlocked, politics becomes no cooperation, and so the Republican leadership falls for the gig, falls for the trick, and then we gotta make it look like we're willing to cooperate.
When that's the whole thing's spin, none of it's real.
The whole thing is spin designed to mask and camouflage the actual true objective, whatever it is from day to day that Obama or the left or the Democrat Party has at the top of its agenda item list.
And you'll note that it changes rapidly.
Yesterday it was guns.
Who knows what it's going to be tomorrow or the next day.
But it's going to be something else.
We don't have time to take a breath.
It's one crisis after another.
And it's climate change, global warming, you name it, and there are always enemies that have to be tamed.
The left is never truly never even close to honest about what they want to do.
And that's why I say everything's politicized and spin is the best way to explain that.
Now let's move on to the Republican presidential campaign.
Starting here with Trump, this has got the drive-by's all excited.
They just they're waiting, they they love Republican infighting.
They have tried their best to take Trump out.
Now they want talk radio to take Trump out.
That's essentially what they're hoping happens.
That's what they're breathlessly waiting for.
Because whatever else they say on a given day, they are fully aware of the power that resides here.
What they don't understand, and what they will not believe and never will believe is that power is not even something that I am aware of on a day-to-day basis.
That's not at all why I do what I do, using it, wielding it.
I'm not even.
It never even strikes me that I have any is the point until these guys in the drive-by start making it clear they think a lot of power resides here.
You may have, you know, rush.
Clearly, you're not telling us.
Yes, I'm trying to what I'm trying to say is I'm not trying to deny there's power here.
I'm just telling you, using it is not at all how I prepare or do, perform whatever you want to say, this program.
That's not it's not at the forefront of my mind.
But they think it is.
The point is here, they are way.
They've tried to take Trump out, they failed.
They thought Trump would implode, and all they had to do was amplify what Trump has said, i.e., broadcast it, write about it, amplify it, more people hear about it, Trump gets embarrassed and he quits, goes away, hasn't happened.
Now they're looking for somebody else to do it.
The Republican leadership's tried, they can't do it.
Various other agents have tried, debates, moderators take your pick, they've tried, nobody's been able to take Trump out.
Trump now going after Cruz.
Drive by saying, okay, this may be it because we know talk radio is not gonna put up with this.
Talk radio not gonna put up with with what Trump going after Cruz, and even if talk radio starts dumping on, they really believe that we start dumping on Trump that he's finished, which illustrates once again that they have no idea.
The thing, if you want to understand, if you're watching now, today, tomorrow, at any time, the media talk about talk radio.
What you the key to understanding it, the key to deciphering it, they believe you are incapable of thinking on your own, that you never have and you don't.
That every action you take politically, every thought you have politically, every opinion is the result of you being brainwashed by me and others like me.
You are not independent, you do not think on your own, you don't have the ability to.
And they believe this because they think all of conservatism is mind numbed robots, idiots, you name it.
They think all of conservatism is what you watch, what you see when you watch making of a murderer, frankly.
So they're eager to see this Trump versus Cruz thing happen because they think it's going to result in me or who knows who else going after Trump.
And taking him out.
Here's what's got him all excited.
This is Trump yesterday in New Hampshire on New Hampshire 1 TV News.
The political director Paul Steinhauser is interviewing Trump, says, Mr. Trump want to ask you about Ted Cruz.
And your comments that because of his birthplace in Canada, it may be precarious for the Republicans to have a nominee like that.
Are you suggesting or questioning his birthright?
His citizenship?
No, I'm not at all.
I just know that it's being questioned all over, and a lot of people are asking me that question.
I hope it's not so.
I hope it doesn't come about.
But people are worried that if he weren't born in this country, which he wasn't, he was born in Canada, and he actually had a Canadian passport along with a U.S. passport until just recently.
So I don't know what it all means.
I know that other people are talking about it.
So Trump said other people are asking about it.
I don't know what the problem is.
I don't think he's got a problem.
He's born in Canada, his passport, and I don't think he's got a problem, may not even be an American, but I don't know.
It's for other people to figure out.
I'm not, I'm just people are asking me, what do you want me to do about it?
So Steinhauser sits there mesmerized while Trump continues.
The problem is that if the Democrats bring a lawsuit, the lawsuit could take years to resolve, and how do you have a candidate where there's something, you know, over the head of the party and that individual.
So I hope it wouldn't be the truth.
I hope that wouldn't be, you know, what it is, and we'll find out, I guess.
I mean, Ted will be able to answer the question hopefully satisfactorily.
I hear a couple of states have a problem with it too.
Well, I really hope there's nothing to it.
Oh, it would be horrible.
Can you imagine a lawsuit for two years over our nominee?
Nobody would want that.
Ted wouldn't want that.
I wouldn't want that, and even Marco wouldn't want that.
So we hope this gets right.
I'm sure there's nothing there, but a lot of people are asking me.
They think they're very well could be, and he wasn't born in America.
I'm not saying it other people are.
I've Ted said it was this I don't know, it's entertaining.
It's clear, and then Cruz is is reacting to it and is no here, but more more Trump before we get to Cruz.
Fox and Friends this morning, and Brian Kilmeade uh says yesterday you brought up that uh Ted Cruz might not be an American.
And Ted Cruz's response was uh showing the happy days footage of Fonsey jumping the shark, like uh you, Mr. Trump, have now gone over the edge in accusing him of that.
So where are you going with this?
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
I mean, I was just asked a very innocent question yesterday by the Washington Post, and I hope this doesn't take place.
I mean, frankly, I don't want to see it happen.
I want to beat him on his own merit.
I would like to see Ted do something where maybe he goes in a preemptive fashion into court to try and get some kind of an order.
Because I would not like to see that happen.
I like him a lot.
I think he likes me a lot.
It's a problem I'd love to see him get it straightened out.
Nothing to straighten out, but that's a I don't want it to be a problem like Ted like three.
Straightened out.
So ABC News.com, White House correspondent Jonathan Carl speaking with Trump just just a couple of months ago.
We want to go back and revisit what Trump has said about this.
This was back in September.
From what I understand, everything is fine.
I hear that it was checked out by every attorney and every which way, and I understand Ted is in fine shape.
What's happened?
What's changed here between September 15th and well, Ted Cruz is up five in Iowa.
So now it may be a problem.
Now see the drive-by's folks, they are so excited.
They can't wait.
They think we're gonna jump on Trump and excoriate him and and blast just blast away at Trump.
How dare he do this?
In fact, um, to illustrate that, grab audio soundbite number seven, F. Chuck Todd, today on the Today Show, Savannah Guthrie, who uh who asked somebody.
She was talking to somebody.
We had a how about yesterday to get to it.
She referred to the Monica Lewinsky episode as alleged.
She was trying to correct or criticize a Republican.
Wasn't that an alleged incident with Lewinsky or whatever?
At any rate, uh, she's uh talking to F. Chuck Todd, and she says, Look, Trump has launched a attack here against Cruz on the issue of his eligibility.
Do you think this is something that'll have appeal with conservative voters?
Does this have the feel of kind of throwing everything in the wall and hoping something sticks out there, Chuck?
Watch today when the talk radio circuit, who has been very supportive of Ted Cruz, and any time there's been a split between Cruz and Trump, they've sided with Cruz.
I suspect unless they somehow turn on Cruz on this issue.
I don't think this is going to be an issue at all with conservative voters.
There you have it.
I told you, they're sitting around there waiting for us on talk radio to turn this into what they want it to be.
They want it to be everybody ganging up on Trump, defending Cruz.
How in the world, Donald, do you do?
That's what they want everybody.
That's what they want to hear on this program.
For his part, here's Cruz yesterday, Sioux City, Iowa, talking with reporters about it all.
I'm gonna stick with Fonsey jumping the shark, and I'm gonna let the rest of y'all battle it out.
Trump attacks Cruz barely reacts to it, and that's where it is.
We'll take a brief time out and continue.
We get back, don't go away.
Okay, so what's what's really going on here?
You go back September.
Trump is very clear.
And he knows that that Ted Cruz has been uh vetted on this citizenship business and that it's all hunky-dory, it's above board and no problem.
Now, all of a sudden, it's a factor.
Cruises up five, leading in Iowa.
So Trump doesn't want to lose Iowa, he wants to win everything, so revives this.
Why is it reviving this?
He knows it's not going to go anywhere.
Trump is pretty good at keeping himself in the media, and this is one way to do it.
Come out with this allegation with this charge.
I mean, Trump knows that the drive-by's hate him and Cruz.
Uh normal day outside of politics, if Trump's not in the presidential campaign, the media normally love Trump, and he's great copy, he's a fun guy to be around.
They hate him.
In a political sense, they hate it, they hate Cruz.
So they tried to take Trump out.
They've they've failed.
They're hoping that this is that moment where Trump has stepped in it because they think talk radio is Trump's number one support group, and if they turn against him, it's the end of it for Trump.
Talk radio's not Trump's number one support group, as it turns out, uh blue collar Democrats, according to polling data, are the number one support group of Donald Trump.
The other thing that it's on the agenda here is simply keeping himself in the media.
You notice this ad.
I meant to mention this yesterday in greater detail.
Time ran out.
Trump runs his first paid ad.
And look at all the attention it got.
For whatever he spent on that ad, he got ten times in value in just the media talking about it.
He only had to spend X amount of money to buy it on a couple of locations, and every network in the world got their hands on it and started airing it for free.
And then it was fine.
It was an ad focusing on immigration, which is uh Trump's gravy train.
And it featured massive numbers of people marching across the desert, meant to look like the U.S. border, flooding Southern border from Meiko.
Turns out, people did some investigation, found out that the locale that was used was Morocco.
That the footage was not even of illegals.
They didn't even you'd get actors and film this thing in Mexico, California, Arizona.
They went to Morocco to film this.
And so the drive-by's are shouting, claiming foul and deceit.
But all that did is create even more talk about the ad, which kept it in the news above and beyond what the substance or contents of the ad was about.
It was probably done purposefully.
And the And the whoever leaked that it was filmed in Morocco did so on purpose.
You know, all of this is a very studied and practiced art.
The art of getting in and staying in and being prominent in the media.
Some people crave it, some people seek it out, and it figured out how to do it, and Trump is one of those back in a second.
Looks like we have a lot of interesting people on hold on the phone.
So if you happen to be on hold, stay there.
Hang in there.
Be patient.
We'll start on the phones soon in the next upcoming busy broadcast hour here on the Rush Limbaugh program.
