| Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast. | |
| Now the problem is I know more than everybody else about this. | |
| There's nobody I can turn to when things are not working for me. | |
| I can't tell you how frustrating this is. | |
| There's not, I mean, you ought to see it when I describe a problem and people propose the solutions. | |
| You know, it's like taking me back to the first grade. | |
| No, no, no, I've been there, done that, it's not that. | |
| And I give up even explaining the problem to them because I know they're going to be useless. | |
| No, no, no, I'm talking about battery life on my iPhones all of a sudden. | |
| And I'm not gonna bore you with it. | |
| I know the stick to the issues, crowd gets nuts, but it's actually, it's actually kind of it has to be an explanation for it. | |
| And because it's odd. | |
| It's extremely weird. | |
| And maybe if I have time today, I will get into it. | |
| Anyway, greetings, folks. | |
| Great to have you here. | |
| Man, are we loaded today? | |
| I'm gonna tell you right now, it's going to take all three hours, and then some. | |
| I'm gonna try to get it all in here in three hours. | |
| Much of today is going to build on points that I have been making the past two days. | |
| Um evolving, growing, adding evidence to it, all rooted around the question who is and what is the conservative movement, and why is it apparently behaving so oddly. | |
| I think I can explain this and much else to all of you as the program unfolds today before your very eyes and ears. | |
| It will explain the massive support for Donald Trump that people can't figure out. | |
| It will explain why there's abject hatred and panic over Trump in the Washington Republican and even conservative media establishment. | |
| Trump picking Sarah Palin or Palin deciding to endorse Trump just exacerbates it. | |
| And by the way, Sarah Palin is going to help me make my points today because I read the transcript for her speech that she made, and uh it's actually the speech that Payla made, Palin made yesterday for Trump. | |
| People I saw people pan it. | |
| She looked like she lost her place, she was reading cue cards, she uh didn't seem to be all there. | |
| I didn't see it, but I read the transcript of her speech, and I'm telling you, it is well, I don't I don't want to overdo it, but uh brilliant, but man, I'll tell you it she's got substantive logical reasons for doing what she's doing, and she explained it yesterday for anybody who really wanted to pay attention to listen to it. | |
| So I'm gonna explain that. | |
| But I also have to tell you that Trump accepting an endorsement somewhat puzzled me. | |
| I just I just have to be honest. | |
| I look I look at Trump as a genuine outsider, as somebody who doesn't do anything by the book in politics. | |
| And yesterday he did two things by the book that frankly surprised me. | |
| One is accepting an endorsement. | |
| I saw I I did not see Sarah's speech. | |
| Um but but I I saw sound by seven, and I saw Trump standing aside while she was at the podium, and he's not the kind of guy that stands aside. | |
| He just isn't. | |
| He's that dominant. | |
| He is he is he is that huge to give up the podium even to somebody endorsing him, sponsoring him. | |
| Uh little I'm not criticizing it, don't anybody misunderstand. | |
| I'm just telling you what I think here. | |
| Do with it what you want. | |
| The second thing that happened yesterday that really, really surprised me, again, given Trump is rewriting the manual on how to be an outsider and how to avoid all of the traps that you get into if you're gonna play the game of politics the way the insiders play it. | |
| I was shocked to see him go all in on the ethanol subsidy. | |
| I mean, that reeks of political insiderism. | |
| On the other hand, I understand it's the Hawkeye Cockeye. | |
| It's the first in this whole series of caucuses and primaries, and he's nip and tucked there with crews and wants to win it. | |
| And this is what you have to do. | |
| But see, that's that's the point. | |
| This is how uh insiders look at it this way. | |
| You have to go buy votes. | |
| And that's what supporting King Corn in Iowa is all about. | |
| Cruz, for his part, uh got into a little bit of trouble because they misreported that he also was on board, but he said, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| I want to phase it out in five years. | |
| I want to get rid of it. | |
| We can't get rid of it overnight, but when I want to get rid of it, so both candidates are on board for the ethanol subsidy. | |
| Cruz for his part supports publicly letting it fade away in five years. | |
| So, but these are just thoughts that I had that I'm sharing with you. | |
| Don't attach any more to it. | |
| I really I want to warn you, this is this may not be good for me to say, but and I'm gonna try to make it so it isn't necessary, but you may need a lot of nuance. | |
| Uh listening to me today, and another way avoid knee jerks today, if you can, and hang in as I go through some of this stuff. | |
| Uh, because it is that's not complicated. | |
| It's but but it is detailed. | |
| And of course, I, ladies and gentlemen, excel at making the complex understanding. | |
| This actually isn't that complex. | |
| It's just so strange. | |
| And I'm I'm not trying to be cryptic. | |
| I'll tell you the last couple of days. | |
| Remember the uh the piece from David French, National Review, where he speculated that one of the problems going on with the Republican Party is they don't even know who their base is, that they have overestimated who their conservative base is. | |
| They do not understand it and overestimated it. | |
| In other words, that the conservative base is not nearly as conservative as they think it is, nor is it conservative as they define it. | |
| That's key. | |
| The way the Republican establishment defines conservatism is not what it is. | |
| To them, it's Hayseed Hicks, pro-lifers running around in pickup trucks with shotguns in the back, bitter clingers. | |
| You know, Obama's not just speaking for himself on that. | |
| There are a lot of people in Washington, both parties who have that opinion of conservatives, and the Republicans might even look at their own base in uh in that regard. | |
| But the truth is that they've overestimated the conservative base, and furthermore, they are clueless in understanding what it is that motivates their own base, and as such, they're incapable of understanding why Trump has any support. | |
| I'm going to explain all that to you today. | |
| And more. | |
| As I have been researching it, delving deeply into it. | |
| My own instincts in this from a year ago are being confirmed on a couple of things. | |
| Snerdley tells me I didn't, I haven't seen this, but why would I doubt Snerdley? | |
| I mean, I why would I think Snerdley would be wrong? | |
| But why would I think Snerdley would come to me with something he's new? | |
| And he's telling me that George Will isn't a column today. | |
| Well, you read it today. | |
| I don't know when it was published, but apparently George Will is advocating that if Trump wins, he's he's advocating third party, that he will go third party. | |
| Oh, it was an interview, it's not a column. | |
| All right, all right. | |
| Oh, I it's if it's in your stack, I'll find it. | |
| I've been swamped in here. | |
| I haven't had a chance to go through everybody. | |
| So anyway, George will talk in third party. | |
| I can explain why that's happening too, folks. | |
| I'm I'm I'm looking forward to all of this, but I'm not gonna rush into it. | |
| I'm doing my best to keep a uh a cap, if you will, on my energy level, because it's it's important. | |
| Um it'll start making sense when I start sharing with you explicit content from Sarah Palin's speech that she uh That she gave for Trump. | |
| But I'll tell you, in addition to what's happening on the Republican side, there's all kinds of stuff happening on the Democrat side. | |
| And let me just give you a little sample. | |
| A 50 caliber rifle found at El Chapo's hideout in Mexico came from Obama's Fast and Furious program. | |
| A 50 caliber rifle found at El Chapo's hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious. | |
| Sources confirmed yesterday to Fox News. | |
| Former Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt after he refused to divulge documents for a congressional investigation into the matter, if you recall. | |
| A 50 caliber rifle is massive. | |
| It can stop a car. | |
| It can take down a helicopter. | |
| And El Chapo was found to have one in its possession. | |
| And it was part of Obama's Fast and Furious operation. | |
| Now, for those of you new to the program, or people with short memories, let me give you the Cliff Notes version of Fast and Furious. | |
| It is something that Obama and Eric Holder initiated in their first term. | |
| Eric Holder, the attorney general. | |
| They desperately, like all liberals, wanted massive new gun control legislation or executive orders. | |
| They wanted to get guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, because by definition, that's the only people you can take them away from. | |
| By definition, you're not going to get guns out of the hands of criminals. | |
| Because by definition, criminals are breaking the law, and they'll do whatever it takes to get a gun. | |
| The only guns you can go get are held by the law-abiding. | |
| But it's a right of passage, an article of faith in liberalism that guns are bad in the hands of people. | |
| Second Amendment, stupid and folly, shouldn't be there, and we got to go get people's guns. | |
| So they hatched a program which was actually something that got started during the Bush administration but was abandoned. | |
| And what Obama and Holder did was build on the Bush program. | |
| The Bush program was nothing at all like Fast and Furious ended up to be. | |
| It just provided the foundation. | |
| And it was very simple. | |
| The Obama administration allowed guns like this, assault rifles,.50 caliber rifles, massively huge powerful weapons, to be sold in... | |
| In gun stores in the Southwest, Phoenix, for example, and they were then allowed to be taken across the border into Mexico. | |
| The plan was, it really was, that these guns purchased legally in American gun stores would then be used in horrible crimes south of the border. | |
| When these horrible crimes took place, featuring much murder and mayhem, the news media was supposed to react with outrage, report the details, and focus on the fact that this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for gun laws in America, which makes the sale of these weapons perfectly legal. | |
| So mayhem was supposed to ensue after the regime allowed these guns to cross the border after having been sold. | |
| And what the desired result was that the American people would be so mad and express such outrage that they would stand up in unison and demand that the government do something about all these guns. | |
| That didn't happen. | |
| Fast and Furious was an absolute failure because the regime continually then as now misunderstands the American people and the relationship they have with the Second Amendment, the role of guns legally in people's lives. | |
| So it didn't happen. | |
| And the program was then, after all this, it was discovered. | |
| And it had a name, Fast and Furious. | |
| And the short version is that when it was discovered for what it was, people started describing it, such as me here on this program and many others. | |
| The regime started to deny us. | |
| No, no, no, no, it didn't happen as crazy. | |
| Made it sound like there was uh nothing to it. | |
| Uh I think a border agent ended up dead as a result of Fast and Furious. | |
| There was one American death, and it was a border patrol agent. | |
| I think same same issue. | |
| So anyway, it was it was a total bomb from the regime standpoint. | |
| Uh the guns are still in the hands as the evidence in this story. | |
| A 50-caliber rifle purchased in an American gun store, ends up in the arsenal of El Chapo, who happens to be the drug kingpin of Mexico. | |
| Did you see that they discovered some people digging another tunnel at this prison the other day? | |
| Just out right out in the middle of the day. | |
| They sent some people digging another tunnel to get the guy out of there. | |
| They weren't even waiting to do it under cover of darkness. | |
| And then there's a companion story from the politico. | |
| An Obama-appointed federal judge has rejected Obama's executive privilege claim over Fast and Furious Records. | |
| The Justice Department's own public disclosures undercut the president's privilege claim, says the judge Amy Berman Jackson. | |
| She rejected Obama's assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to the operation, which is essentially it was a gun running operation run by the United States government to get guns into the hands of criminals in Mexico so they could raise hell. | |
| Mayhem cause outrage in the American media that was supposed to bleed over to the American public where the public would demand something get done. | |
| Now people want to see the records of the program. | |
| Obama says, no, no, no, no. | |
| You guys in Congress and other right, it's executive privilege. | |
| And a judge has told him to go pound sand. | |
| One of the judges, he appointed. | |
| By the way, Fast and Furious involved thousands of weapons. | |
| Not just a handful of guns, not just a few 50-caliber rifles, but thousands of guns were allowed to cross the border. | |
| There's nothing alleged about Fast and Furious. | |
| It did allow thousands of weapons to be sold at drug dealers in Mexico. | |
| The only question is whether this was the sole purpose of the program. | |
| A lot of experts think that Obama wanted the drug cartels to commit such heinous crimes with these U.S. weapons, the public would demand more gun control laws. | |
| That's ex-count me in that camp. | |
| And that's what people are trying to get to the uh to the bottom of. | |
| In addition to this, Bernie Sanders has leads Hillary Clinton 60 to 33% in New Hampshire, the WMUR poll. | |
| And the New York Times has a story on how a bunch of young feminists, exactly what we predicted on this program, are beginning to abandon Hillary as they learn about the bimbo eruptions and all of that. | |
| The New York Times has the story. | |
| And they get the picture is with Lena Dunham. | |
| You know, supposedly the icon of modern era feminism. | |
| Another reason, folks, I'm glad I am older and am the age I am. | |
| If that's the icon that ladies and gentlemen, in addition, and by the way, I just found the it's a it's a bright bart story. | |
| Uh George Will hints at going third party. | |
| If it's Trump versus Hillary. | |
| And uh predictably one of the comparatives he makes is of course Trump equals Goldwater. | |
| Conservative nominee equals. | |
| Now wait. | |
| Trump and conservatism, this is where everybody's going wrong. | |
| That's the tease. | |
| Trying to figure out Trump and why conservatives like Trump, why they're abandoning other conservatives like Cruz, who is the Trump coalition, that's really the key to understanding this. | |
| But all that aside, the Republican establishment does when they think of conservatism and particularly in the form of a presidential nominee. | |
| It means it's going to be Goldwater landslide defeat. | |
| They never, I don't know why, well, at least I do. | |
| They never think of a conservative nominee as equaling Ronaldus Magnus and winning two landslides. | |
| Nope, for some reason, no matter who, if the nominee is coming from the conservative wing of the party, then the establishment of Republicans fear a Goldwater-style landslide defeat. | |
| Goldwater was never going to win that election. | |
| LBJ had that an election if he didn't even campaign, coming on the heels of the assassination of JFK. | |
| Anyway, we are going to lift for one instance. | |
| My ban on audio sound bites from MSNBC. | |
| Something occurred there that dovetails nicely with the theme of the program today. | |
| And so I instructed Cookie to get me the bite. | |
| And she was just ecstatic. | |
| She loves it when I lift the ban on MSNBC. | |
| Sit tight back. | |
| All right. | |
| Also on the Hillary Clinton side, in addition to the WMUR poll of New Hampshire, that's an important poll. | |
| This is not an outlier poll. | |
| It's a mainstream New Hampshire poll. | |
| Bertie Sanders is soared to a commanding lead over Hillary in New Hampshire three weeks before the primary. | |
| Sanders leads Clinton 60 to 33%. | |
| This is a WMUR CNN poll. | |
| He is viewed favorably by 91% of likely Democrat primary voters, unfavorably by 7%. | |
| And then there is news about the Hillary Clinton email server. | |
| It turns out now we know why there are 150 FBI agents tracking her down. | |
| It turns out that she shared this this email server that she had outside the office, the one she had at home in the basement of Chappaquar or whatever, that all of the sack the uh uh classified documents on. | |
| It turns out that that server and its contents were shared with the Clinton Family Crime Foundation as well. | |
| Meaning Bill Clinton had access to the emails, or could have had access to the emails on Hillary Clinton's server. | |
| Hillary shared an email network with the Clinton Foundation. | |
| According to records, shared an IP address with her husband's email server, President Clinton.com. | |
| Both servers were housed in New York, not in the basement of Clinton's Chappaqua home. | |
| This correct myself on that. | |
| Uh which means that whatever was on Hillary's server, Bill had access to, and they're out there jointly seeking hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars in donations from agents, representatives, foreign governments all over the world. | |
| So it has now been spectrum because of the nature of the highly classified nature of the documents on her server, that they go beyond top secret. | |
| Dr. Knouthammer on Fox, for example, last night said this goes beyond what Snowden did. | |
| This is worse than Snowden. | |
| And by the way, people are now bringing Petraeus into this. | |
| Petraeus, they're thinking about stripping his rank from him. | |
| They're thinking about just totally ditching him. | |
| If that happens, he loses everything. | |
| He loses his pension. | |
| He loses every financial benefit that he accrued while in the military, not to mention his reputation as one of America's greatest generals. | |
| And Petraeus did the identical thing that Hillary did, and maybe even not as bad. | |
| He shared whatever secured information, classified data he had with the with the author that was doing the book on him. | |
| It turned out to be his mistress, Paula Broadwell. | |
| Um given that, given how this regime, it's now up to the Secretary of Defense what happens to Petraeus. | |
| Now you stop and think of this. | |
| Here's Petraeus, author of the Surge in Iraq, saves the day. | |
| Obama hires him to run the Iraq or the Afghanistan portion and makes him CIA director or whatever. | |
| Uh, and and and now they're set to destroy him. | |
| There's no doubt some political component here, obviously, but they're set to destroy Petraeus. | |
| One of the most decorated, highly decorated, highest reputed military men of the last two centuries. | |
| And he's on the verge of being destroyed. | |
| Pensions, 401ks, everything that he's built up would be totally taken away because it's all with the government. | |
| This would be part of the punishment. | |
| So people start to say, well, if you're gonna do this, betray us. | |
| Um Mrs. Clinton's done identical things, pretty close to identical, if not worse, then how can you let her slide? | |
| So and there are other things involving the Hillary Bernie Sanders campaign, as I mentioned New York Times with a story on how millennial aged feminists led by that icon Lena Dunham are now beginning to have doubts about Mrs. Clinton, because they're not cool. | |
| They're not hip with all this bimbo eruption stuff. | |
| They really are just now learning about it. | |
| They're not cool with the fact that when these bimbos popped up that it was Hillary's responsibility and she eagerly accepted it to destroy the women when these women are out making up stories about having been raped on campus to make a point of how rotten men are. | |
| Here's Hillary Clinton. | |
| They are discovering she took the women out to protect her husband who was a predator. | |
| And this is in the New York Times, folks. | |
| And it's pretty straight up story. | |
| Now let's get started with all of this that's happening in the Republican campaign. | |
| Trump Cruz, the Palin endorsement, the exploration of so many questions that revolve around how can any of this be happening? | |
| How can conservatives abandon conservatism and go Trump? | |
| How can conservatives abandon a Republican Party and go for somebody who's obviously not a conservative or at least isn't campaigning as one. | |
| Why is Sarah Palin, who is you know, she had a direct role in helping Cruz get elected in Texas, and she was a Tea Party darling in a Tea Party. | |
| What in the world is she doing endorsing Trump? | |
| People are scratching their heads, can't figure it out, and they're they're they're trying to maybe this what what's in it for her personally? | |
| Uh maybe she just wants airtime, maybe she's uh seeking uh renewed celebrity status or what have none of that is even close to what's going on. | |
| What's going on is all rooted in what I have been talking about the past two days about the nature of conservatism, the so-called conservative movement. | |
| Who are they, where are they, in relationship to the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. | |
| And I want to start with this sound bite that I am lifting the ban on MSNBC for you to hear. | |
| It happened last night on a program called All In with Chris Hayes. | |
| I'm so tempted to describe the aesthetics of the show, but I'm gonna avoid that. | |
| I'm just stick here with the substance. | |
| Also on this show in this segment last night was one of the PMS NBC correspondents, Joy Reed, and a Republican operative by the name of Rick Wilson. | |
| He's a Republican media consultant, and he would uh qualify as being part of the Republican establishment with the Republican consultant's class. | |
| And he was on to explain what in the name of Sam Hill is going on with this endorsement of Trump. | |
| So we've divided this into two parts, because the first part dovetails with a point that I want to make beyond the soundbite here, and the second part is Rick Wilson. | |
| So Here is the first part of the segment. | |
| It's not in response to any question. | |
| They're simply talking about what they consider to be the breakup and the fracturing of the conservative alliance with the GOP. | |
| Now I am mentioned here, but this is not why I'm playing the bike. | |
| For decades, you've had Rush Limbaugh and this sort of conservative entertainment complex holding together these various wings of the party as if there was a core belief in a set of specific conservative values among the base. | |
| When it turns out what the base wants is a feeling that can be delivered by Rush, but some policies that are an apostasy to movement conservatives. | |
| Okay, now it's not just me who have seen a couple of things this week written by people talking about the conservative base. | |
| I mean, it's it's it's beginning this is beginning to percolate in a lot of places. | |
| And what Joy Reed is saying, she says for decades you've had Rush Limbaugh in this sort of conservative entertainment complex holding together the various wings of the Republican Party as if there was a core belief in a set of specific conservative values among the base. | |
| And she says it turns out that there isn't a set of cons of values, conservative values that are the glue that keep the conservative base together. | |
| She's saying limbaugh has been the glue. | |
| Limbaugh has been what has kept everybody on board with the idea that the Republican Party is conservative or that there is a conservative movement, but that there really haven't been policies that have provided the glue. | |
| There haven't been conservative beliefs, particularly not founded Republican Party. | |
| That's why so many conservatives are abandoning Linton going to Trump. | |
| So her view is, and they would love to believe this, that there never has been any serious conservative movement. | |
| It's all been an illusion created by me that I and the power of this program have kept the various, as she calls them, wings of the conservative base attached and together. | |
| But now all it's taken is somebody like Trump to come along. | |
| And what's happening is that a lot of people who were thought to be conservative really aren't, and they're still eagerly supporting Trump for a whole host of reasons, but in their view, this means there never was a real solid conservative movement. | |
| It's been an illusion. | |
| And furthermore, let me just give you one more little tip as we head into this. | |
| The belief now is, and I predict you're going to start seeing this in places, one of the theories is that the reason the conservative media and the Republican establishment media are so virulently anti-Trump is because what he's exposing. | |
| The theory, it's the theory that all these conservative think tanks and all these conservative policy institutions and all of these groups of people have been sitting around thinking and coming up with policy in Washington, D.C. are being exposed as irrelevant, unnecessary, and never accomplished anything in the first place. | |
| That's what the left is trying to use Trump's success to say. | |
| That that because there and their theory is how in the world, if there's a conservative movement, and if it really mattered, and if there was a conservative movement that was really centered on and based on substantive issues, then how in the hell can Donald Trump come along and do what he's doing anyway? | |
| If there's a solid set of conservative values, and if there's a huge conservative base, and if it is based on policy and substance, then why isn't it all aligned behind Ted Cruz? | |
| And it's the answer to that question that I find fascinating. | |
| Now, but that's not the reason I wanted to play the bite. | |
| Nope. | |
| You got to hear this Republican establishment guy. | |
| You gotta hear this whole thing. | |
| You've got a Rick Wilson, Republican establishment consultant. | |
| So, Mike, I want you to play cut one again and then don't stop. | |
| Go right into number two. | |
| Well, no, we can't do that because there's a question that's asked that's none. | |
| Okay, uh play number one again, and I just saw the clock. | |
| I sorry, folks, I have to take an obscene profit timeout. | |
| Otherwise, the segment after this is going to be 15 seconds and you're gonna get mad and says no. | |
| Now ladies and gentlemen, understand something. | |
| It's not that there is not a conservative movement. | |
| And I I'm not I'm not trying to be tricky here. | |
| It's it the theory is not that there's not a conservative movement. | |
| The theory is that it's not conservatism which unites the movement. | |
| There's a conservative group of people out there that you would think looking at them, listening to them, they're conservative, the way they vote, but it's not conservatism that is uniting them or motivating them. | |
| This is what everybody is missing in Washington. | |
| Remember, it goes back to the fact in Washington, Republican establishment central, even after the two midterm elections, 2010-2014, they still don't get that the primary motivating characteristic of Republican voters this time around is an absolute direct opposition to the left to the Democrat Party to Obama and everything has been going on the last seven years. | |
| They want it stopped and reversed. | |
| And they will go anywhere. | |
| If they are convinced whoever's telling them they're going to stop it is telling them the truth. | |
| They don't have to be conservative, they don't even have to be Republican. | |
| As long as they're good populists and can espouse nationalism, it's not conservatism making them go there. | |
| This is what everybody's misunderstanding about whatever coalition Trump has put together. | |
| But anyway. | |
| Back to the MSNB sound bite. | |
| Here's number one, number two. | |
| Here is the whole thing. | |
| They're discussing the meaning of the palin endorsement, what it says about the Republican Party, conservatism, and so forth. | |
| Here are both bites. | |
| The whole thing is going to run here probably about 50 seconds, the first bite, and I'll have to come back after this and give you the question that sets up the second one. | |
| For decades, you've had Rush Limbaugh and this sort of conservative entertainment complex holding together these various wings of the party as if there was a core belief in a set of specific conservative values among the base. | |
| When it turns out what the base wants is a feeling that can be delivered by Rush, but some policies that are an apostasy to movement conservatives. | |
| So what she's saying is that there are a bunch of conservatives, supposed conservatives that'll call themselves conservatives, but they will do things that the conservative movement doesn't understand while calling themselves conservative. | |
| The point is it's a conservative movement, but it is not glued together, you're not unified by conservatism. | |
| Now, up next, uh the host of the show asked a question of this guy, Rick Wilson, the Republican consultant. | |
| He said, There's this piece today in uh in a magazine called The Week where he looked at this Samuel Francis, a white supremacist guy, who started out mainstream conservative, was an advisor to Patrick Buchanan. | |
| He said that your best path, Republicans' best path, get rid of all the conservatism stuff. | |
| Get rid of all the limited government deficits, get rid of capitalism. | |
| Stop talking about that and just go whole hog on nationalism. | |
| What do you think of that, Rick? | |
| That's absurd. | |
| I think that there is definitely still a very significant portion of the party that is a limited government conservatism-based faction of the overall coalition. | |
