Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 podcast.
Yeah, it's funny, nobody can figure it out.
Nobody understands it.
And looking at Trump.
Trump refuses all of a sudden to criticize Cruz.
Trump is all of a sudden suggesting he might even pick Cruz as his vice presidential running mate if he wins a nomination.
And everybody's saying, My gosh, what happened?
What happened?
Well, I'm gonna tell you what happened.
It's Friday, folks.
Let's get rolling here.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, sir, rebub.
Open line Friday, and it's your day if you're on the phone.
If you're a caller, you determine what we talk about today.
800 282, 2882.
We pay for the call.
We pay for you to be on hold all those hours.
We always have.
It's no big deal.
I just thought I'd mention it for the heck of it.
After all, we had a Democrat debate last night, and they want everybody else to pay for whatever they want.
By the way, I'm gonna do some analysis of this.
I actually watched it last night, not just watched it, I studied it last night.
Figured it was about time, so stand by for that.
It'll be worth it.
If you want to send an email, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com is the email address.
Super Bowl Sunday, we have the predatory Carolina Cantlers, Panthers against the Denver Broncos and horses, and they may be wild horses, but they're still victims, they're not predators.
Uh Panthers, Mountain Lions, Cougars, what have you, they are predators.
Uh that would give you a hint as to the environmentalist wacko way to look at the game.
Look at this from the Huffing and Puffington Post.
This is the same guy, by the way, that had the story in USA Today earlier about how we all ought to feel guilty watching the Super Bowl because doing so is promoting concussions.
Huffing and Puffington Post, the Carolina Panthers are the most unapologetically black team ever.
Now, this is from the left.
These are the people telling us that it's all the racism and all the bigotry is to be found in conservatism in the Republican Party, and yet every time you open your mind, open your eyes, and start reading or listening to things, here you get a bunch of racist or racial analysis of things.
Carolina Panthers, the most unapologetically black team ever.
Details coming up.
Also, I have been really overwhelmed, and I understand this with emails from people asking me to detail the battery life problem that I've been experiencing with with all of my iOS devices the past month.
Because battery life is a it's a universal complaint that people have.
And uh folks, uh the the problem I had is not something that it's it was not related to settings like notifications or location services or background app refresh.
It wasn't, it was much, much, much more severe.
It was not you couldn't fix it, you couldn't make a change difference in it whatsoever by toying around with settings.
It was far, far deeper problem than that, which is why it required installing a couple of profiles to create logs of behavior taking place on the five of the devices, and then the reams of data that was produced had to be examined in order to find the culprit.
And I'm gonna explain it uh at some point in the program today, because people I said yesterday nobody cares, and a lot of people actually do.
Battery life, a universal complaint that people have.
But again, um what I'm gonna tell you my solution was I'm not advocating anybody do.
My problem was drastic and totally outside the norm and would not, could not be dealt with by standard ordinary changes in settings or other behaviors.
In fact, well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I am going to very soon hopefully have a section on my website for tech tips.
Uh, because I know you people in the stick to the issues crowd get very upset when I start talking about my passions that are not related to politics.
Whatever they may be, the NFL golf, uh my iOS devices.
I just I can hear you.
I can see you out there shouting at the radio and throwing things at it.
Stick to the issues, stick and I know you're out there.
But this uh this was a dramatic, I'd never seen anything like it.
Problem.
And nobody else was experiencing it, and nobody had I mean, every suggestion was a suggestion that I could come up with myself.
There was not one person who had one idea what was wrong, and had I not been able to get really deep help, I would have never figured this out.
I would have had to just adjust to the fact that my iPhone 6S would die every four hours, which meant that it would just have to be constantly charging, make it unusable.
So I'll detail that too as the uh program unfolds before your very eyes and ears.
We've got the two campaigns going, but this everybody's stumped today.
Everybody's stymied, everybody's curious, can't figure it out.
All of a sudden, Donald Trump says he doesn't want to criticize Cruz anymore.
All of a sudden, Donald Trump says, Yeah, you know what I like, Ted?
I might even have him as my vice president if I get the nomination.
But wait a minute.
Everybody say, You're you're you're thinking of suing him because he's from Canada.
What what the hell's going on?
They can't figure out what happened.
So they're assigning it.
Well, you know what?
Maybe Trump's insane.
And then they say, No, he's not insane, so what's going on here?
Well, maybe he's just trying to keep everybody on their toes and and off guard and not knowing what's coming next.
No, that may be, but that's not what's going on here.
Well, but but then why, you know, he abandons, he abandons Dr. Carson's Dr. Carson was his big friend, and then all of a sudden, he doesn't care about Dr. Carson.
He's he's he likes Ted Cruz.
All of a sudden he's not gonna, he's not gonna complain about what's going on, and they're all struggling to try to figure this out.
And the answer can be found by going back to yesterday's program here on the EIB network.
This is why.
Now I understand that the polling is hit or miss, and that 13 of them were wrong.
I understand.
Thirteen polls had Trump winning.
And I've got nothing against Dr. Carson.
I think Dr. Carson's one of the finest men alive today walking this planet.
This whole episode, nevertheless, boggles my mind.
This whole thing, manufactured as it is, just boggles my mind.
We're on the verge here.
We conservatives of wresting control of the Republican Party from the establishment and get sidetracked with this stuff.
It isn't helpful.
I wish it would stop.
But I'm not running all these campaigns.
And I said even more than that.
I got specific.
I said, this notion that you can't take a tweet that's found on CNN and spread the news around it without creating some kind of controversy is silly.
It's a waste of time.
It's a distraction.
And I I a couple of times yesterday, I just said, stop it.
It stop this stuff.
There's way too much going on to get distracted by this.
We're too much time is spent.
You know, it's okay to disagree with people.
It's okay to have policy differences with them, but there's no reason to start excommunicating people, either from the party or from the movement, people who you know are conservative, but may be wrong on an issue here or issue there.
Fine, disagree with them all you want, defeat them all you want.
But this excommunication stuff uh and and banishing them.
I said, I'd had enough of it yesterday.
It may it is it's destructive.
I mean, with this election is too important.
I'm rehashing much of what I said yesterday, adding a couple things to it.
But really, there's just too much at stake here.
And so I just I'd have it, yes.
I've been telling uh people in my in my circle of friends that this stuff started to get embarrassing to me.
There was no election stolen in Iowa, and and all of this about you know, I did hear from a guy named Bill Saraceno.
Bill Saraceno way goes way back to my days in Sacramento.
Bill Saraceno lost his hearing, and he was one of the first people I talked to about what life was going to be like with a cochlear implant way back in 2000, whenever that was.
And he was extremely helpful.
He had gone to the House Clinic just as I had.
And he uh he helped me to prepare for what hearing and life and getting along was going to be like a cochlear implant before.
I had uh had mine surgically implanted.
And then after that, I I lost track of him.
I got an email from him yesterday, first time in twelve years, and he is in or was in, I guess he's still California.
He's working on the Carson campaign, and he's he was telling me there are people who had their votes shafted away from them, Rush.
I heard you on the radio today saying that not one person's popped up to say that they were going to vote for Carson and didn't because of what Ted Cruz's campaign was doing.
Well, Rush, I got a couple of them here, and you need to know this.
So he was telling me that a couple of people had stood up, but I still haven't heard it or seen it, and I whatever, it wasn't gonna add up to 25,000 votes, which is what Carson needed to tie Ruby over third place.
That wasn't gonna happen.
And furthermore, Carson outperformed what he was supposed to get if you believe in polling data.
So the the whole thing to me just just seemed um un unnecessary.
And I had the usual, oh, you're just in the tank for Cruz, I'm gonna I'm not in a tank for anybody here.
It's not uh it's not my job to win a campaign for it's not my job to take people out of it either.
It's not my job to make them win it or help them.
It's not my job to see to it that they lose it.
That's up to them.
And that's always been my philosophy.
But when I see unfortunate time wasting things like this guy, and it just feeds right into them in the drive-by-sere, we're on the verge, like I said there, we're on the verge of wresting control of the party from the establishment, which is what has to happen for us conservatives.
And now here we're in the process of trying to destroy two or three of them.
Circular firing squad.
So anyway, that's what I said yesterday.
Last night CNN, Anderson Cooper 360 interviewing Donald Trump.
Cooper said, You came in second in Iowa at Ted Cruz.
Let's talk about Cruz.
You basically accused him of fraud, stealing the election in Iowa.
You talked about wanting a new election there.
Have you actually spoken to Republican Party officials about that?
Now, look, I'm into New Hampshire now.
It's just one of those things.
It was sort of a lot of strange things.
And you know, I like Ben Carson very much, and he got pretty roughed up, frankly.
Although it affected me maybe more than Ben.
But I'm so much, because I've been now here for two days, I'm so much into this into New Hampshire that I just I don't care about that.
Well, that's what happened.
He doesn't care about it anymore.
He's moving on.
Said what he had to say about it, got his message out, thinks uh thinks Cruz is from Canada is a fraud and is now moving on.
It's dropping it.
But the media is not happy.
That's why, folks.
Are you saying that you handle who else did?
Nobody can figure it out.
I'm giving you a possibility, certainly.
So then Anderson Cooper, who the media is the last group people who want to see this happen.
The media want to see Trump loaded for beer.
The media deathly afraid of Cruz.
And they're afraid of Trump.
And they're gonna end up being afraid of Rubio at some point.
They want Cruz taken out.
They're frustrated.
The media is frustrated.
They haven't been able to take out Republican frontrunners yet.
And the Republican front runners in waving are at the bottom of the pile.
The media candidates of ours they prefer, can't get any traction.
They're frustrated.
So here comes Trump aiming at Cruz.
They loved it.
Anderson Cooper's, oh no.
But but but wait, Donald, Donald, you think you think Ted Cruz intentionally was spreading false information, right?
How can you do this?
I don't care.
I mean, I don't I don't want to even say, let's see what happens.
I guess people are looking at it.
Who cares?
Uh, we're into here.
I picked up a lot of delegates, you know.
I was second.
I picked up one less than he did, so that's not gonna be even a factor.
Uh this is the place that I'm focused on.
Right, he's focused on New Hampshire now.
So everybody is running around.
What happened?
What?
I mean, why did why did there's a possibility for you?
By the way, Cruz, this guy, this guy is so sharp.
He is so quick.
Did you hear he was a reporter tried to, and they ought to give up trying.
They're never, no reporter on earth is going to be able to outwit and imagine with Ted Cruz.
They're just, they're not going to be able to sabotage the guy.
A reporter kept hounding him about this dirty trick.
Reporters said, but it's a dirty trick.
It's a dirty trick to confuse voters.
Don't you think it's a dirty trick to confuse voters?
And Cruz said, no.
We're not going to scapegoat anybody.
This reporter wanted to know you're going to fire anybody.
Nobody can escape anybody.
I would note that the news story that our team passed on was true and accurate.
CNN reported it.
Yeah, but it's a it reports a dirty trick, right?
Don't you think it's a dirty trick?
I mean, how can you do that?
That's a horrible thing to do, Cruz.
Is it a dirty trick to pass on your news stories?
You're in the journalism business.
Would you think it was a dirty trick if I was forwarding an ABC story where this reporter worked?
Or is it only a dirty trick when I pass on CNN stories?
And the reporters go, but Cruz said, hey, I didn't do a damn thing.
Carson's people called CNN, CNN put something up.
We saw it, we used it.
If there's a dirty trick, it's you people in the media putting it up in the first place.
So Cruz is saying to this ABC reporter, oh, really?
It's a dirty trick to pass on your news stories.
You're in the business.
Would you think it was a dirty trick if I was forwarding an ABC story?
Or is it just a dirty trick to pass on?
CNN stories.
Brief time out.
We come back, the Democrat debate, and as I said, studied it, and it was painful.
Folks, I'm not kidding.
It was painful on so many levels.
I literally felt like I was a visitor from someplace and was not at all living in the world they were talking about.
These people sounded like they were on a in a foreign country.
I mean, was that striking?
It was just beyond anything that happens in my day-to-day world, listening to these two.
And it was grandma and grandpa just arguing, and it was I I suffered through this.
And I'm going to explain to you why.
Get started on it, we come back.
It is open line Friday.
And I am your host, the all-knowing, all-caring, all sensing, all feeling.
All concerned.
Gee, all everything.
Maha Rushy.
Okay, the Democrat debate.
Polling data, by the way, uh Bernie Sanders now leads Clinton by 20 points in New Hampshire.
Quinnipiac University poll out today says Bernie Sanders nearly tied with Hillary Clinton in a nationwide poll.
Now, just for me, just a quick overview.
I thought Hillary cleaned his clock last night, but that's not what they think.
What I think doesn't matter, folks, you and I, I'm just here to tell you, you and I have nothing in common with the people watching that debate last night.
And it I mean, it you you have to watch this in order to be able to understand it's such a different world in which they're all living and some working.
Many of their voters do not work.
It's key to understand this.
But the thing that you have to be able to do to successfully empathize with the average Democrat voter, and I'm not talking about elite rich Wall Street Democrats or Hollywood Democrats.
I'm talking about the Democrat middle class, lower middle class rank and file.
You have to be able to watch this and understand the environment and attitudes they have watching it, which you and I do not have.
We do not think like they do.
We're not fatalists.
We're not depressed.
We're not defeatists.
We're not victims.
We don't think everything that's going wrong is somebody else's fault because they're specifically targeting us.
The liberal mindset as it exists today is absent happiness.
There is none.
Add to that, after seven years of what was to be the fix for everything wrong, not just in America, but in the world, they're even angrier.
They live with the reality, probably subconsciously, that everything they voted for and believed was going to happen, all these great things that were going to get fixed are worse.
First African American president has made no positive difference whatsoever.
They're faced daily with the reality, which they probably do not admit, that everything they believe in tanks.
But that's not even half of it.
Hang on.
And look, there's Obama out now, and he's uh he's hailing these fraudulent unemployment numbers released today.
He's out there saying the first time unemployment rate is below 5% in eight years.
It's a 4.9%.
151,000 new jobs are created.
This is just it's just a lie.
It's this it's total fraud.
What is this first time unemployment rate?
Well, we talk about first time, so we don't have to talk about the people who've been unemployed for five years, six years, seven years, so we don't talk about them.
So, yeah, the number of people unemployed for the first time, under 5%.
Add those to the 94 million Americans who can't find jobs, and it's not a pretty picture.
There he is.
He's out there claiming credit for it, and he's he's told anybody, State of the Union show that anybody who tells you that this economy's not good is is crazy or lying or whatever.
And Hillary Clinton spent the whole debate last night telling everybody how the economy sucks.
That's one of the many things.
You watch this and you don't, I mean.
What is she complaining about?
She and her party have been running this country for seven years, and she dares to detail all that's gone wrong with it.
But I'm getting ahead of myself here.
To watch this debate last night, I tried to assume the attitude mental psyche of your average middle class Democrat watching it.
And the thing that you have to do doing that, you have to understand who the Democrats are today.
What is their base like?
They are perpetual and constant victims, folks.
Many of them are poor, but even the ones who aren't poor feel they are poor.
They have invested their entire lives hoping others are going to do things for them.
And of course, nobody gets anywhere doing that.
So when it doesn't work out, you feel like you've been victimized.
You feel like you've been taken advantage of and forgotten.
It's never your fault.
They think they've been victimized by all of the isms.
Sexism, racism, bigotry, homophobia, whatever it is.
There is some sort of explanation that is rooted in negative behavioral traits of others who are doing mean things to them, or who are standing in their way of getting anywhere, or who are purposely targeting them and keeping them down.
Their misery, and that's what their lives are, their misery, in their minds, is explained by all of these mean powerful forces out to deny them.
Big oil, big pharmaceutical, big retail, you name it.
All of these the Republican Party, talk radio, all of these powerful forces are arrayed against them and keeping them pinned down to where they can't accomplish anything.
In their minds, they should have been great successes.
They're the smartest people in the world.
They're smarter than you, they're smarter than people running the country, but they've never gotten a break.
Everybody's given them the raw deal every day of their lives.
It was either their teachers or their school or a coach or a parent.
Somebody failed to see how brilliant they are, how great they are.
Then it was their boss if they ever had a job, uh, or their employer who didn't make them company president, didn't promote them, didn't give them a raise, maybe fired them, and then you throw the cops in this.
They hate the cops, the cops are out to get them.
It's hopeless.
Their own environment, the people they live among, the places they go to school, the places they go shop, everywhere they go is aligned and a rayed against them.
They are victims of this conspiracy or that, and I don't mean tinfoil hat conspiracy.
They're victims of unseeable, invisible, powerful forces that are arrayed against them in so many ways it's impossible, don't you know, to overcome?
The only remedy, therefore, is the government to give them the things that they are being denied because of all of these mean, powerful forces that have stacked the deck against them.
Everything that's too expensive is because somebody is trying to screw them out of being unable to have it, be it higher education, be it a nice car, be it health care, be it child care, all of that stuff should rightfully have been theirs and it should have been easily acquired, but it's being denied them.
Usually by the rich who stole all of the stuff from them at one point.
This is how they think.
Now you may rush your crazy, nobody thinks this way.
They do, folks.
It is the only way a debate like last night makes any sense, where you have a battle between two old grandparent types arguing over who can give away the most while punishing the most people at the same time.
The only way a debate like that makes sense is if I have nailed the attitudinal psychology of these average Democrat voters.
Housing.
Well, who can afford that?
There ought to be subsidies or vouchers or giveaways of some kind because nobody they can't afford these things, and it's all because somebody else is making it impossible for them.
The rich, however, they've got all this, they ought to be paying for it.
And the rich are the ones that are squeezing them to boot.
So the rich ought to be paying for it.
You've heard liberals talk about access.
It usually you hear them talk about how they're being denied access to something.
That is how the liberal mind, the middle class middle liberal mind thinks, such as access to uh, shall we say, reproductive uh what rights or reproductive uh uh health care, reproductive health care.
They're being denied access.
Now that phraseology makes it look like they're being denied rights, like they're being denied constitutional rights, human rights that are guaranteed to everybody.
What denied access means when these people use it is nobody's giving it to them.
Little test.
Going forward, when you listen and listen on TV, any liberal on TV start talking about how they're being denied access to this or that.
What they mean is that nobody's giving it to them.
Now, the Democrat elite, the rich Democrats, they are in the same boat, but they're unhappy for different reasons.
I'm not going to mess with them, I'm not going to bother with them right now because the focus here is the people that watched that debate last night.
The Democrat elites are the ones.
You know, I had to laugh.
I just give an example.
Here's Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and they're both ragging on Wall Street last night.
Wall Street pays for the Democrat Party, and both of them know it.
I've got a list of all of the Wall Street.
No, They're ragging on Goldman Sachs last night and the blank fines.
Lloyd Blankfeiner runs the place and his wife are two of the biggest donors of the Democrat Party.
Wall Street props up the modern day Democrat Party.
Wall Street does not support Republicans.
And yet here these two are last night, ragging on Wall Street like nobody ever has before.
The reason?
They know the people watching the debate are blaming Wall Street and all the other fat cats for denying them what they should have had their entire lives and preventing them from ever having a hope of getting whatever they want or need in the future.
Therefore, somebody better use government to get it to them.
The liberal mindset today has no happiness.
There is no joy.
They're all victims.
Somebody's to blame for their misery and their lack of future.
Add to it seven years of what they thought was going to be a socialist utopia.
Barack Hussein Obama.
No more war.
We're going to fix global warming.
We're going to close Guantanamo Bay.
We're not going to do any more torture.
We're going to put people at Wall Street.
We're going to put them in jail.
We're going to finally get even with all of these people who've made life so miserable.
And instead, what do they realize every day?
They realize Obama's in bed with these guys they think ought to be in jail.
And subconsciously they realize that everything they voted for, and they always vote for, but they voted for in 2008.
Everything they voted for has made things worse.
Country's getting worse.
Even they admit it's on the wrong track.
Different reasons from you and I. But point is they had their people in power the last seven years.
They had people in power the other party never even tried to stop.
Now, these people I'm talking about think the Republican Party is stopping the great Obama each and every day.
They think Obama's still an outsider doing his best to overcome these powerful forces.
All of these powerful forces of denial, by the way, happen to be Republicans.
In your average warped liberal mind.
Not only is there no happiness in the liberal mindset, if you watch that debate last night, there's no pursuit of happiness.
Neither Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton are about happiness.
They're not about finding it, they're not about promoting it, they're not about insuring it, they're not about cognizant of it.
Happiness did not even show up.
Either in terms of how Bernie and Hillary portrayed themselves or in terms of what they talked about.
What they talked about last night was anger and how people are getting shafted, how people are getting screwed.
Hillary is progressively angrier and louder as every day goes by because there is more racism, there is more bigotry, there's more inequality, there's more denial of rights for women, for Hispanics, for African Americans.
It never ends, it only gets worse.
And the free market is to blame.
Bernie Sanders talks about this sustained rigged economy.
That's how he opened last night.
The economy, this economy is rigged.
It's rigged by the people of Wall Street and whoever else.
And I'm saying, who rigged the economy?
Who possibly can rig the economy?
If you have on one hand a free market, a regulated free market.
How in the world do you rig it?
There's only one place.
There's only one entity that can rig the market, folks.
It's called Uncle Sam.
The United States government is who riggs the economy.
The tax code is a way to rig the economy.
It's a government creation.
Regulations.
That's how you rig the economy.
It's how you pick winners and pick losers.
The market doesn't pick winners and losers.
You have to win or lose.
It's up to you in the market.
The government coming in picking winners and losers is rigging the market.
And the government has been rigging the market for as long as there have been liberals in it.
Free markets, by definition, rig nothing.
Free markets reward Smart.
Free markets reward entrepreneurism.
Free markets reward hard work.
And not all the time, by the way.
It's another thing these people think.
They think we're full of it because we believe these old bromides, hard work and all that, and devotion and ambition pays off.
It's a lot more than that.
Doesn't work for everybody, of course.
Not everybody's a multimillionaire.
Not everybody never has been, never will be.
And because of that, they're able to universally criticize it and claim it's illegitimate and so forth.
The government's the biggest risk to our economy.
And it's even close.
There's nothing that comes even.
You can't even see something else in the monoculars.
When you're looking out there to find out the possible things could rig, damage U.S. economy.
U.S. government's it, and there's nothing else that you are going to see.
It isn't Wall Street rigging the economy.
It's Pennsylvania Avenue.
But wait, Rush, but wait, what about quantitative easing?
I've heard you say, right, right, right.
But Wall Street.
They just had their hands open, but it was Washington that decided to print all that money.
It was Washington decided to give it to him.
By the way, here's Bernie and these guys ragging on Goldman Sachs and so forth.
You ever found it strange that practically every former CEO of Goldman Sachs becomes Treasury Secretary in Democrat administrations.
And Democrat Treasury Secretary comes up with QE3, Federal Reserve, so forth.
They're taking the money that's coming into Washington and giving it to their friends.
They're all Democrats doing this.
Wall Street funds the Democrat Party.
Hillary said she's never been influenced by mega donations.
Then why are you accepting it?
They're not giving you money because you're pretty.
They're not giving them money because they like having you come by and have a drink with them because you're dull and boring.
They're not giving you money because they want to pal around with Bill and maybe get some of the action he rejects, talking about babes.
They're giving you money, Hillary, because exactly right you are going to pay them back with influence in kind if you ever get elected.
It was just full of crap, Leslie.
And by the way, folks, this is why I cringe when I hear Republicans talking about the need to cross the aisle.
And like I heard Lindsay Gramnister, we need to go out and get the Hispanic vote.
We need to go get more of this vote and that vote.
It's not possible.
It's not possible to get them.
When you understand who they are, they're not reasonable.
They're not going to be able to listen to a pitch from Lindsey Graham and anybody else saying, no, we're not who you think we are.
We're we're we're nice and so forth.
That's it, they're not even going to get close.
These people are alien to us, folks.
The average middle class, lower middle class Democrat voter is so victimized.
And so they don't, they're not angry at us because they think we're racist.
They're angry at us because we're the reason they are failures.
We're the reason they've never amounted to anything.
We're the reason they don't have anything.
There's no amount of reaching out to them.
That's their safety blanket to be victims to have us to blame for their failure.
They're never going to admit that we all of a sudden are nice guys and worthy of their vote.
That would destroy the entire foundation they've created in order to stay alive, even though it's miserable.
Here's uh here's Leslie in Lafayette, Indiana as we hit to the phones.
Great to have you up first today, open line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Hey.
Love your show.
Thank you.
Hey, you're talking about uh a section of society that constantly is, you know, being victimized, they think.
They don't have enough.
They don't have what everybody else has.
Now, you know, most of them, of course, are being housed, they're being fed, they're given phones, they're I I'm not really sure how you can be a victim when you're being given everything.
But it in my opinion, it's the working class that is being victimized by our government.
Um we right now in our family, we have um we farm.
No, no, I understand.
I'm uh I hate to interrupt, but I know where you're going, and I've only got 30 seconds here.
Let me let me explain this.
You're saying, hey, we're victims too, so are they different ball of wax?
You even though they're getting all the free stuff, that's not making them happy.
That's the point.
The more of it they get, the more miserable they are.
The more success their party has at the polls, the more in debt we go, the more angry they are.
You don't want that.
You want government out of your way so that you and your farm can prosper as a result of your ingenuity, your hard work, your devotion.
They're not like that.
They want you punished with higher taxes or whatever else.
They're not wanting government out of their lives.
They want more of it.
Open Line Friday, hosted by me, your guiding light through times of trouble and confusion, through murkiness and despair, and even the uh good times, which we find here.
Chronicle loses well.
Sit tight, folks.
Much more.
