Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Well, it's now official.
Panic has set in.
Panic has set in maybe maybe in both establishments, but certainly the Republican establishment, panic is now official.
And it's all because up until last night everything was theoretical.
But now Trump won, and he outperformed the polling.
But before you get too crazy, I want to remind you of something.
People are talking about revolution going on out there, and I can understand why people might be saying so when you look at Bernie Sanders over Hillary and Trump uh coming in out of nowhere and dominating the Republican side.
I don't know about a revolution.
I mean, it's it's tempting and it's exciting to think that the revolution's going on, but I'm I'm not so sure.
Do you know that Mitt Romney got more, a higher percentage of the uh primary vote in New Hampshire in 2000 uh what was it, 2012 than Trump got last night?
Romney got 39.3%.
Uh Trump got 35%.
I don't does that equal revolution.
Don't misunderstand me here, folks.
Don't go off half crazy on me yet here.
We still have three hours here to make sense of everything, and we will.
And if there was a revolution going on, would would uh would would Trump have not won Iowa?
Uh I'm I'm not saying that it's not real.
Let me cut to the chase.
I really think what's going on here on the Republican side, and this is it's been the case for the past seven years, the explanation for all of this is the fact on the Republican side, the explanation for all of it.
It it's it's not complicated.
The Republican Party has not pushed back against Obama.
The Republican Party has not tried to stop one shred of this.
Not really.
I mean, I mean you have to emphasize that they haven't even hardly made a pretense of trying to stop any of this.
So what you have is a genuine outrage at the Republican Party.
But does that mean people out there want to overturn the entire system in a revolutionary way and go with I just I I don't know that that's the case.
But clearly the Republican Party's being rejected, the Republican Party establishments being rejected.
You go over to the Democrat side.
Um, did you folks I I made it a point to listen to Bernie Sanders and Hillary last night.
I think one of the things that happens in the primary season is that, and I think it's true of both parties.
You you really ignore the other party because you have your own internecine battles going on, and the immediate objective is to win the nomination of your party, which means win the contests against your fellow party members.
And what the other party is doing kind of gets shunted off to the side.
You deal with that later this year, get into summertime.
And I think that is a mistake, because I think what's happening on the Democrat side should be a dominant part of the Republican primary process here.
Because it was stunning to listen to these two people last night.
It was scary and it was stunning, and I'll tell you what else it was.
It was the limbaugh theorem on parade like never before.
Both of these people, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton stood up there, and Fox carried both of this was kind of sad, I have to tell you.
I have to interrupt myself here.
Fox is trying to cover every candidate's speech to supporters at the end of the night, and they're trying to be fair about it.
And no sooner had they gone to Jeb Bush, I'm talking 30 seconds, they had to bump out and go to Trump.
And if it didn't just symbolize this entire campaign, Jeb was out talking about some guy that was trying to get seed money to start a business and all the regulations he was having to go through.
And 30 seconds into that, but sorry, we now leave Jeb Bush and we move over to Trump headquarters, and that was it, and that was it for Jeb.
He got 30 seconds of his speech.
Hillary got all of it, Bernie got all of his, and Bernie's was 30 minutes.
But the limbaugh theorem, Here are these two people who have made the last seven years possible.
They are the architects, along with Barack Hussein Obama.
They have voted for every dime of it.
They have supported everything to listen to these people criticize the health care system with 29 million people still uninsured and to complain about the costs, the rising premiums and the deductibles, and to hear them talk about unemployment, and to hear them talk about low weight.
Who do they think is responsible for this?
And of course, their supporters, many of these young college graduate uh leftists who've been really brainwashed into the beauties and fairness and all that of socialism.
Yeah, it's a it's it's a potential crisis that we face because these young people have not been taught critical things.
They literally have been taught the virtues of socialism.
I mean, to listen to these people, to listen to an avowed socialist like Bernie Sanders talk about how angry he is at what's going on now when it's everything in the world that he wanted in 2008.
Ditto Hillary Clinton.
What is there to be unhappy about?
No, no, no, folks, follow me on this.
I'm dead serious.
They get everything they want.
There was no pushback on the Republican side.
There was no attempt to stop it.
First two years they didn't have the votes to stop it anyway.
And after they did acquire the votes, after we gave them the House and gave them the Senate, they still made no serious effort to stop it.
And even at that, Obama's had to use some executive orders to get what he wants, but he has done it.
There's no stopping him, there's no attempt to stop, there's no pretense, there's no image other than during campaigns where they tell us they're going to stop him, but then they don't.
And to listen to these two people go on and on about the status quo as though we are about finished, as though we are in dire straits, our consequences have never been more grave, and we need to do what?
We need more of what has brought us here.
We need more of what we've had to live through the last seven years.
It's like these two people get to stand up there and act like they had nothing to do with it.
The limbaugh theorem on parade, like Obama, the way he gets away with stuff is that he gets away with appearing to have no role in any of it.
He gets to pretend to be an outsider, angry at what's going on, fighting powerful invisible forces, i.e.
Republicans, he's gonna do everything he can to stop it.
He's the architect of all this.
The Democrat Party is the architect of all this.
They're miserable, they're unhappy, they've gotten everything they want the last seven years.
How in the world does this work?
We haven't done enough.
We haven't spent enough, we haven't given away enough, we don't have a big enough welfare state, we didn't take over health care enough, we didn't take over health care the right way.
What in the world's wrong with it?
You got everything you wanted.
There was no attempt to stop Obamacare.
They got everything they wanted in it.
And to listen to these two people whine and moan and complain, you would think that all of this is the result of the Iraq war and the Bush administration, and it's time we got serious and reversed this course that we are on.
It was stunning to me.
I really think of the candidates remaining on the Republican side, they had better start listening to this, and they had better start including it because this is what we're ultimately running against.
And it all goes back.
The reason all of this upheaval is happening on the Republican side is precisely because there has been no effort on the part of the Republican Party, its establishment, wherever, to stop any of this.
It makes common sense, total common sense that people who have loyally donated and loyal loyally voted and supported and have been told that they must support the nominee, they must support the policies, party unity and all that.
They've been slapped upside the head one too many times here, and so they're they're now saying screw you.
And they're going elsewhere.
Now, the crazy thing is the Democrats have their own version of this going on.
I mean, Bernie Sanders supporters are just Obama supporters.
I mean, it's almost the exact demographic.
We go through all this.
I mean, Hillary was humiliated yesterday.
What is it, 22 point loss?
She lost virtually every group.
Trump on his side won every demographic.
It's It's uncanny.
Every demographic group, Trump wins and wins big.
And Hillary lost practically every demographic group.
Bernie Sanders today went to Sylvia's in Harlem to have breakfast with Al Sharpton.
Bernie knows that he's out of this race once we get to South Carolina.
The Clinton machine is going to kick in.
The New Hampshire population doesn't in any way mirror what the Democrats and Republicans are going to find in South Carolina.
And it's, and Bernie knows this.
That's why his first stop was Al Sharpton.
Bernie's only hope is to promise reparations.
The only way he has a chance of wresting the black vote away from Hillary Clinton.
That's what makes this kind of comical.
I mean, to look at the leftist establishment media, they're in panic.
Oh my god, Hillary can lose Nevada.
Oh, gee!
Hillary, oh my God, South Carolina Hillary's firewall.
They're upset because what we have is a repetition of exactly what happened in 2008.
What's obviously clear to them on their side is that their voters just do not like this woman.
And they have, they they know they're relatively certain Bernie Sanders isn't going to be the nominee.
It just doesn't work out for him.
Just like it doesn't work out for Kasich.
I mean, Kasich was a one-off.
He won in that's another thing.
The attention paid to the second, third, and fourth place finishers last night in the media was stunning.
I'd never seen that much attention paid to people's second, third, and fourth, because Trump ran away with it.
And so that was the only drama there was, and then what that all meant.
And Casey coming in second place makes sense.
The only place he's been campaigning.
He'd been going to town halls, he's been going to diners, he's going he had to say the other day that he's further left than Hillary Clinton.
He had to say the other day he's effectively a Democrat here.
And he's running around acting like one.
Like we go to South Carolina where he doesn't have any infrastructure in place and so forth.
Uh, whereas people like Ted Cruz have been planning for South Carolina and the SEC primary Super Tuesday on March 1st since the since the get-go of this.
But on the Democrat side, they're panicked because it's abundantly clear, again, that Democrat voters, when they have the chance to vote against Hillary, will do it.
They don't like her.
She is not liked, she is not popular, she does not have that famous connection with people that I talk about.
The drive-bys are so out of whack.
The Huffing and Puffington Post in their cover today just dumps all over the voters of New Hampshire as a bunch of xenophobic racist bigot.
Uh well, other names I can't mention, but they're so ticked.
The New York Daily News, dawn of the brain dead with a picture of Trump on the cover as the Joker from Batman.
So when the media starts insulting and blaming the voters as being stupid idiots, you know that full-fledged panic has set in.
Because this means that they are unable to control the outcome.
And that is what the media lost when they lost their monopoly, their inability now to control the outcome, to control the message, to control how people vote, to control what people think, to control what people's opinions are.
It's all out the window, and everybody that considers themselves to be part of the establishment is facing a major big time rejection today.
On the Republican side, this would not be happening had there been some official real serious, consistent pushback to Obama.
Now, it didn't happen, so I don't want to sit here and play what if.
That's not what I'm doing.
I'm offering you an explanation for why, in other words, I I don't, folks, we have these people talking about whether there's populism and nationalism overtaking conservatism.
And I don't think we're there yet.
Uh the support for Trump is said to be, you know, outside all known categories.
It's not said conservatism, it's outside liberalism, it's outside libertarianism, it's outside moderates, it's outside independence, it's it's a it's a new area and so forth.
But it may well be, but it's made up of people from across the spectrum Who were just they're fed up, there's not an opposition party.
Had there been an opposition party these past seven years to invest in, they would have.
Had there been an opposition party that was serious about it, this would be an entirely different primary circumstance scenario.
But it isn't, and it is what it is.
So we'll we'll follow this along, and it's it's it's you know, satisfying in a Schaden Freud kind of way to read some of the establishment reaction and to listen to them on uh on television.
But again, the Bernie Sanders acceptance speech and what Hillary tried to do in hers, it's just uh above and beyond the limbaugh theorem aspects of it.
I mean, I I don't know how much ground there is to gain by pointing out to people that have been educated in the virtues of socialism to illustrate hey, wait a minute, you these people complaining about stuff they did.
Does that not register with you?
I don't know how powerful that is.
In uh in years past, I was of the opinion it was very powerful as a persuasive technique.
Hey, wait a minute.
Did you hear Bernie complain about health care?
Yeah, yeah, wasn't it great?
Well, except they did it.
Everything he's complaining about, he voted for.
Everything he complained about, he supported.
Seven years ago, Bernie Sanders said that what we have now was Nirvana.
Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton seven years ago all told us this was going to be utopia.
We're finally going to take our country back.
They said they're the ones we've been waiting for.
They're going to do all this wonderful stuff.
And they've done it.
They've implemented their agenda more rapidly and thoroughly than any leftist in this country ever has.
And everybody is unhappier than they ever have been.
They're more miserable and they're panicked and they're scared, precisely because these people have succeeded.
And these people are running around acting like they had nothing to do with it, and we need more of this.
It is one of the greatest assaults on logic you will ever find.
Sadly, logic is not in this equation.
What Bernie says rings emotionally true.
He wants health care to be cheaper.
He wants whatever it is the hell he wants.
And he's going to pay for it how he answered.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, we're gonna stood a 10% tax.
And Wall Street speculate.
Wall Street speculation.
What the heck is that?
Wall Street speculation.
Every trade, every time a 10% of the the thing about that is, no, I know what it is.
I'm I was I was being rhetorical.
What Wall Street speculation is meaning every trade's a wild guess.
Nobody knows what's going to happen to a stock.
Everybody's speculating every time they buy or sell something.
He wants a 10% tax on every purchase.
Anyway.
The big banks are the foundation of the Democrat Party.
And Hillary and Obama, uh uh Bernie are both trashing the big banks left and right last night.
I'm I see it.
I see it.
I've taken break here, folks.
Um EIB network at 800-282-2882.
Stand by back before you know it.
Hi.
How are you?
Welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Do you know that uh Bernie Sanders is the first Jewish candidate to win a major presidential primary?
You had heard that?
You did you did but here's the point.
Hillary Clinton tried to stop the first African American from being elected president.
Now she's trying to stop the first Jewish American from being elected president.
What a bigot!
Doesn't Mrs. Clinton realize she should get out of the way and let these minorities finally have their shot at things.
She tried to stop the first black president, he won.
Now she's trying to stop the first Jewish president, and he just mopped the floor with her.
Do you want to know how screwed up the Democrat primary is?
Hillary lost in New Hampshire.
I don't even know if Bernie knows this yet.
Somebody, if he doesn't know, somebody's gonna have to tell him.
Hillary Clinton loses By 22 points, and got two more delegates than Bernie Sanders did last night.
I'm not kidding you.
The Bernie Sanderson, the Daily Caller, though Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton.
He will receive fewer delegates than she will.
Sanders won 60% of the vote, but thanks to the Democrat Party's nominating system.
Bernie leaves New Hampshire with 13 delegates, Max, well, at least, at least 13, and Hillary leaves with 15.
Now what kind of system is that?
You go in and you get skunked, you get schlonged, you get landslided out by 22 points, and you leave the state with two more delegates than Bernie.
The economy's rigged and Wall Street's rigged.
Wait till he finds out that New Hampshire was rigged.
His reaction is good.
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
60% of the votes, you get 38% of the vote.
What do you mean?
I got two fewer delegates.
New Hampshire has 24 pledged delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote.
Sanders has 13, Clinton has nine.
There are two currently allotted to neither, but under committee rules, DNC rules, New Hampshire has eight superdelegates and Hillary owns them.
Don't you just love it?
And we're back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of the societal evolution.
800-282-2882.
The The email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Let's review some of the coverage here that show you just exactly what happened last night before we hit the audio sound bites and get into uh into your phone calls.
As I said, the Huffing and Puffing and Post just went absolutely nuclear after Trump won last night.
Uh but by the way, the establishment on both sides has been rocked, but the Republican establishment, I think, was still living in a fantasy.
Up until last night, they were still hoping something would happen.
This it was all theoretical.
Now hard cold reality is settled in, and there's abject panic.
They don't know who to go to.
They don't know who to line up behind.
Does it look like Rubio is going to be able to do it?
Oh, it's not finished, but they had high hopes.
Uh do they do they want to try to marshal their forces behind Kasich?
They may have no choice because they will not go to Cruz.
They despise Cruz and Trump equally.
In fact, they may even despise Ted Cruz even more, and Cruz is the guy with the legitimate chance here, as we go forward, to wrest control of this from Trump.
Christie, I think, is out.
I don't know if he's made it official.
I saw a couple headlines earlier that uh indicate that.
Uh so who is he going to endorse?
That will be the next question that they uh try to solve.
But anyway, the establishment don't know what to do now.
Uh Jeb, that's where all their eggs were.
That's the basket.
And Jeb just couldn't do it.
And that's the the symbolic way he was just cut away from after only 30 seconds of his speech last night for Trump just codified all of this in 30 seconds.
It told the story of what's gone wrong here for the establishment in 30 seconds.
So who do they who do they who do they say the great thing for Trump here is that New Hampshire did not winnow the field.
Other than Christie and Dr. Carson, he's uh he had five people quit his campaign this morning and joined the Cruz campaign.
So Dr. Carson is for all intents and purposes out.
Fiorina.
Um, but but none of them other than Christie have officially withdrawn.
The field was not winnowed.
Rubio's not going anywhere yet.
Jeb is not going to go anywhere yet.
Jeb's already making speech in South Carolina.
So the Trump uh phenomenon rolls on because his opposition is split.
There is no single candidate for the opposition to Trump to unify behind.
This was such a victory for Trump last night in so many different ways.
And one of the big ones was that New Hampshire did not change the makeup.
It did not make the field any smaller among those with legitimate, quasi-legitimate opposition to Trump.
So he's sitting pretty, and he has a huge uh uh he's been spending a lot of time in these southern states.
He's been doing a lot of appearances and a lot of rallies, and so has Ted Cruz.
The Huffing and Puffington Post on the Democrats, they just beside themselves.
They cannot believe the voters are this stupid.
Their cover story says that New Hampshire has gone racist, sexist, and xenophobic.
They start blaming the voters, folks.
When the left starts blaming voters, then they know you know that they are losing control.
Now let's look at exit polls versus the outcome on the Republican side.
According to the exit polls, Trump won among men.
He won among women, he won all age groups, he won all income groups, he won urban, he won suburban, he won rural.
Every issue group, doesn't matter what the issue is, he won it.
Gun owners, non-gun owners, Second Amendment, anti-second amendment, he won them all.
Voters who call themselves very conservative, Trump won them.
Those who call themselves moderates, Trump won.
Every group, this is exit polling.
And he did it in ways that the establishment can't diminish.
He did it in ways that they can't say, well, it's not real.
Well, it's not, it's not phony.
You know, they all tried to get Trump on the expectations game.
Everything they tried to do to discredit Trump beforehand has blown up in their faces.
They were relying on the fact that Trump did not win Iowa.
So they're telling themselves he's not real.
If Trump was real, if this was really real, Trump would be 50% everywhere.
This is what they're still telling themselves today in many cases.
Now, the Washington Post.
Donald Trump loves winning, and he won just about every group in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire is a very different state from Iowa.
It's a state with more independence, fewer conservatives, and fewer evangelicals.
In Iowa, nearly two-thirds of Republicans identified as evangelicals compared to 25% in New Hampshire.
So that meant that Trump could do poorly with conservatives and still win in New Hampshire because they are so outnumbered.
And he did.
He won despite winning only a third of the very conservative vote.
I have been warning the Republican establishment since the first days of the Trump campaign that Trump's message was going to resonate precisely because the Republican Party ceased being an opposition party.
And while they were all thinking that nobody would accept this, that they would abandon Trump because he's too uncouth, he's too unpredictable, he's too brash, braggadocious.
I kept trying to warn them every day, starting last June.
You people do not get it.
You don't get the connection he's got with people who support him.
You don't understand at all because you live in your cocoon inside the beltway in the established wherever New York, Washington, and you really don't get everything everywhere you go, everybody's happy.
Everywhere you go, there's everybody's doing well.
There's no unemployment, people making a lot of money.
You get up, you got a job to go to every day, they go to a nice dinner every night.
Everything's cool.
Everybody's house is nice, you go to parties a lot, everything's cool.
But that's not what's happening in the rest of the country.
But they were sitting there thinking that all of these characteristic traits would eventually cause Trump to dwindle.
And my point was, you people in the Republican side had better understand something.
He's putting together a coalition that you claim to want.
I mean, your stated reason for not opposing Obama is we you need Hispanic votes.
This is why they tell us they have to not push back on amnesty and illegal immigration and comprehensive immigration reform.
No, no, we can't.
The Hispanic vote, we keep hearing Lindsay Gramnesty stayed every night of the week up in New Hampshire.
And how are they going to do it?
What's the Republican Party plan for going out and reaching this new constituency?
Not criticizing Obama.
Not criticizing Obama and claiming to be for or supportive of the same things Obama is.
And that somehow was magically going to cause voters that support Obama to abandon him and the Democrats and migrate to the Republican Party.
Meanwhile, here's Trump running against everything going on in Washington and declaring that what's going on in Washington is incompetent and being performed by a bunch of hacks that are only in it for themselves.
And he's put together a coalition that covers every group, demographic and otherwise that you can think of.
And among the smallest in his group is conservative.
That's why he can win big in New Hampshire with taking not very big percentage of the conservative vote because his coalition is so big and made up of so many other different groups of people.
He won only a third of the very conservative vote.
And among evangelical voters, Trump and Cruz were basically tied.
Who in the world would predict that?
Who in the after after Cruz comes and dominates Iowa and does so on the basis of evangelical voters and Trump, you know, two Corinthians walk into a bar, Donald Trump, two Corinthians this, and then the Bible.
The Bible kills it, except my book.
And yet, evangelicals, support for Trump tied with Ted Cruz in New Hampshire.
This was the scale of Trump's win.
Trump won.
The exit polls were right.
Trump won men.
He won women.
He won every age group.
He won every ideology.
Liberal, conservative, moderate, libertarian, every group.
Trump won a majority of voters.
He won among people who had gone to college and people who hadn't.
He won among people who only had a high school education.
He won among people who did not have a high school education.
He won every single age bracket.
He won those groups by huge margins.
He won men three to one over second place finisher.
Women, he won two to one.
Voters under 30, he won two to one.
Nearly 40% of those who had not attended college voted Trump.
A third of those who had attended college voted Trump.
This is what the Republican Party has been telling us.
They need to win.
I've had them come to my office, I've told you.
I've had Rand Paul here, Mitt Romney's here.
One thing they've all said in common is the Republican Party can't win with Republican votes alone anymore.
We have to branch out.
We have to reach out.
This is what they were telling me to prepare me for some of the campaign tactics that I was going to see that they're going to have to reach out.
And immigration was one of the way reaching out, supporting amnesty.
Well, all along, Trump has built that coalition the Republican Party claims to want, and they're out there badgering it and bashing it.
It's exactly what they claim to want.
They could have had it.
The Republican Party could have had the Trump coalition.
They could have had it at health care.
A majority of Americans opposed Obamacare from the get-go.
The Republican Party could have seriously attempted to form an alliance with the Tea Party and the anti-Obamacare people and been a dominant majority party on that issue alone.
And then on subsequent issues to come down the pike, the Republican Party could have formed an alliance with majorities in Other areas of opposition, and they didn't.
The Trump coalition could have been the Republican parties.
They couldn't do it because they thought it was all conservative.
They couldn't do it because they thought the Tea Party was a bunch of hayseed hicks who believe in pro-life politics, and they just can't, they couldn't do it.
They just couldn't build the bridge.
Whatever it is, fear of social issues, uh dislike of conservatism, uh, not wanting to get in bed with people who want the government to be smaller and less intrusive of people's whatever it was, they couldn't do it.
And now, because they didn't do it, there's Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has the exact coalition, the Republican Party, to a man has told me they need to win, that they need to thrive.
And now they're reduced to bashing it.
By virtue of bashing Trump.
And now they're reduced to bashing it by virtue of bashing Cruz.
The two people who are showing the Republican Party all they had to do all these past seven years.
But they didn't.
They purposely, strategically, tactically refused to push back, refused to make a spectacle of stopping Obama, and they have themselves to blame for this predicament.
People are not going to donate and donate and vote and vote and hear the right things during campaigns.
The promises to stop Obama, to oppose Obamacare, to seriously make an effort to repeal it.
Even if they don't have the votes to override a veto, the effort, all it would have taken was the effort.
All it would have taken was put the onus on Obama, make Obama illustrate that all this is his fingerprints.
No such strategy was ever seen.
and So is it a revolution?
Well, yeah, I mean, it's a revolution against the Republican establishment.
No question.
And on the Democrat side, you can say the same thing with uh with Bernie Sanders.
But the way that you know the the the pro-revolution groups that are out touting that have to combine Bernie Sanders and Trump's voters to make their point that there's a revolution here.
Be wary of that, folks.
What good does that do us?
If you want to say, Yeah, man, look at the electors of people fed up with America.
Look at if you combine the Bernie supporters and the Trump supporters, you've got an anti-Washington revolution.
What good do Bernie's voters do us?
Who the hell wants to align with them?
What's the point of bringing them into that?
I I think it kind of misses the point to to go there to have to make your point of revolution.
You don't have to do that.
It's not complicated here.
I know.
I'm long, I've taken a break.
Just hang in there, folks.
Be back in a minute.
Grab a quick phone call here in the first hour.
We'll go to Greg in the Steel City.
Greg in Pittsburgh.
It's great to have you, sir.
Hi.
Hey Russ, how are you?
I'm good, thank you.
With uh with Mr. Trump's latest victory uh last night.
Um, I think the Republican voters have to start getting in the mindset of not so much as you know Trump is you like what he says.
He's entertaining and spontaneous, yeah, however crudely, you know, during his rallies.
I think we have to start looking at him um you know in the novel office as president.
Um, it's all good and well to expect the Republican established, I think.
Many, many people understand that.
But um can you can you picture a President Trump the representative funeral?
Well, now it's representing high Greg, it's interesting that you uh that you because Trump himself addressed this uh on the NBC nightly news.
I'm looking at the clock.
Do we have?
We can squeeze these in, but I'm gonna have to play them again to analyze them.
Trump was asked by Lester Holt last night uh how different a Trump presidency would be from a Trump campaign.
That's essentially what the question was.
Number ten, number ten, number ten, number eleven here.
I'm sorry.
Uh last night you used uh a pretty vulgar term, repeating something someone in the crowd had said.
And I'm wondering to myself, would you say that as president of the United States?
Much different, much different.
When you say, are you gonna be a different guy as president than the one we see on the side?
So you I went to the best school.
I was a good student.
I have an uncle who was, you know, one of the top, top professors at MIT.
I mean, there's a good gene pool right there.
I have to do what I have to do, right?
So, Donald, you're saying this is an act?
Well, no, it's not an act.
Last night I had thousands of people.
We had a great time, and it wasn't my word, it was a word that a woman kept shouting, and I repeated, I only repeated the word, and the place was wild.
Standing ovation, everybody.
Well, that doesn't mean it was in good taste.
No, but I'll tell you what.
When you're president or if you're about to be president, you would act differently.
It's not a question of acting.
I want to be different.
You're being hit from 15 different sides.
I want to be different.
When you're president, you act in a different way.
There's no question about that.
And I would do that.
Okay.
I don't have time to get into it now, but he's going to be different.
You have to be.
You have to be different when you're president.
Donald Trump.
Back after this.
Bernie Sanders said he didn't have time for a full breakfast with Al Sharpton at Sylvia's, which is wise.
You don't want to be seen eating.
Politicians eating.
You know, remember what happened to Caroline Kennedy when she went there?
She she was eating.
It looked bad.
Dribbling down the chin and so forth, and Al didn't eat.
He knew.
Bernie said he just had time for half a cup of coffee because they had to talk too much about rebuilding the African American community.
