	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Greetings, my friends.
	Great to have you here.
	Great to have you back, Rush Limbaugh, the most listened to radio talk show in the country, the most talked-about host, both loved, vilified, reviled and adored.
	We call it perfect polarization.
	Perfect polarity inside baseball jargon.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Don't try for it.
	Don't have to try for it, it just happens.
	Anyway, folks, great to have you.
	The telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
	I didn't think it was possible, but the GOP establishment is panicked even further.
	They're now just out of their gourd.
	And you know what?
	They're getting a bunch of leftists to join them in their supposed fear of what will happen to the GOP if Donald Trump gets a nomination.
	They have audio soundbites on this coming up.
	Now, one thing about this I've I've never understood, but I think now it's coming into focus.
	I have never understood, like at that now famous dinner that I had with Chuck Schumer and Lindsay Gramnesty in New York, where they tried to pitch me on Amnesty, the Gang of Aid Bill, and I steadfastly refused.
	Schumer kept talking to me about the future of the Republican Party was over if they didn't join the momentum for the Gang of Eight, if they didn't try to secure the Hispanic population vote by supporting Amnesty and the Gang of Aid Bill.
	And I remember saying to Senator Schumer, do you really care that the Republican Party win the White House?
	I mean, that's not what you want.
	You'd be happy if they never won the White House again.
	So what is this?
	And in this whole campaign now, we've got people, both parties, but they all this is the key, they all happen to be members of the establishment.
	They're all professing to be paranoid to one degree or another over what will become of the GOP if Trump gets a nomination.
	And the original question still holds, why are all these liberals in the news media, the Democrat Party, and the pop culture, wherever you find, why are they so concerned that the GOP might fail to exist?
	Why are they so concerned that the GOP might be destroyed?
	And of course the answer is, given the current structure, the Democrat Party loves the GOP as it's currently constituted and as it currently operates.
	The GOP has practically conceded to being a second-tier party.
	The GOP is practically the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters.
	Democrat Party's the Harlem Globetrotters, the Globetrotters could not have played if they didn't have a team to beat.
	They couldn't have played.
	They wouldn't have had an act if there was no Patsy on the other side.
	So if the GOP dwindles and fades away, the G the Democrat Party's got a little bit of a problem.
	I mean, look, it's it's not something they'd lose any sleep over, but one of the primary ways they survive is by pitting their opposition as as as evil and and and satanic.
	They need villains.
	And if the Republican Party fades away to non-existence, and where's the villain?
	And in this, the two parties are almost complicit in in this establishment arrangement.
	They both feed off of each other.
	And as long as the Republican Party knows its place, and that is for the most part, losers.
	Now you might say, Rush, what do you mean?
	They won the Senate, they won the House.
	Yeah, but look how they operate them.
	They've not done much to stop Obama even after they won control of the House.
	And they certainly haven't done much to stop Obama since they won the Senate.
	So it's almost back to the days of Bob Michael when the when the House GOP House was 150 members.
	But nevertheless, the Democrats need them there.
	They need a foil.
	They need somebody to be victim.
	And the Republicans in this circumstance go along with it because they get to maintain their membership in the elite.
	Now, one of the things that is really detrimental about all this, aside from all the obvious things is that is there for a republic like the United States, not a democracy, although I'm not going to split hairs here, but we are a republic or a constitutional republic.
	And for a republic to exist, and for it to be on its continuum, and this is this is a fundamental reality, and it goes all the way back to Socrates, Sophocles, Plato, and all those other Greek guys who ran around speaking with pebbles in their mouths so they could improve their articulation.
	A republic needs respect for the opposition in order for it to survive.
	And that respect for the opposition is what leads to ongoing competition.
	And that respect for the opposition is long gone.
	There is no the Democrats, the left, bye-bye, there is no respect for the opposition whatsoever.
	It's not even considered legitimate.
	And we've gotten to a point now where the left of the Democrat Party really in their dreams would love to sweep away any serious opposition, not have a level playing field, but have no playing field at all.
	But now when they're faced with that possibility, when they're faced with the GOP imploding, this is what they're all afraid of if Trump gets a nomination.
	Now they're worried, oh no, they need their opponent.
	They need their enemy.
	They need somebody guaranteed and happy to come in second place.
	So the audio soundbites today are just incredible as as the as the party leaders, several of them, establishment leaders now plot plans in order to take control.
	They're now talking about Romney as a as a as a safety valve emergency candidate at the convention.
	They're talking third party.
	And all of this isn't all of this is happening precisely because they have accepted the role of Washington Generals, primarily since the election of Barack Obama.
	So there is that factor, and it's kind of fun to look at this and to track it, which we will do as the program unfolds.
	There's also everybody is wringing their hands today over one of the sacred principles of journalism, maybe being violated and just cast aside and thrown away by the New York Times.
	And you know what it is?
	The agreement between everybody involved that off the record means off the record.
	Yes, it's very, very dangerous out.
	It's very, very bad, folks, because the New York Times may be violating all of its journalistic integrity because of this.
	Apparently Trump had an editorial board meeting with the New York Times not long ago.
	It was off the record.
	It was taped, but it was off the record.
	And off the record means whatever is said cannot be repeated, cannot be alluded to, cannot be confirmed without the express permission of the interviewee, in this case Trump.
	Off the record get-togethers are important for a lot of reasons.
	It's one of the only ways that people suspicious of the media will talk to them.
	And if it's ever disrespected or violated, it causes all kinds of problems.
	And the New York Times thinks they're sitting on a bombshell.
	Apparently, we shouldn't know this, but we do.
	Apparently, Trump gave them the impression in this off-the-record meeting that his claim to deport 11 million illegal immigrants and build a wall is just an opening position in a negotiation.
	Somebody at the New York Times referenced this interview to BuzzFeed, which is uh what would you how would you categorize BuzzFeed?
	BuzzFeeds is like teen girl for the for the I don't know, but it's it's a it's a specialty site, Ben Smith's place.
	Anyway, Smith was the guy that they they leaked it to.
	And so Smith is out there saying that this this tape exists, and Gail Collins is in the editorial board of the New York Times that would have been involved in this off-the-record meeting, wrote a column, and Ben Smith at Buzzfeed referring to the column suggests that the second sentence that she wrote in this piece is actually a great indication of what Trump had said.
	This happened on Tuesday, January 5th.
	And Gail Collins refers to the fact that it's an opinion piece.
	She doesn't refer to the tape.
	She doesn't refer to the interview with Trump.
	She just seems to know that with Trump, whatever he says is really nothing more than an opener in a negotiation.
	And from that point, negotiation takes place.
	And then if you read the art of the deal, you find out that Trump's openers are sometimes three times more than what he actually will settle for.
	So they're trying, violating the off-the-record sacred cow.
	They are attempting at the New York Times to leak out there that Trump is lying to his support base about the number one issue.
	They support him.
	Nobody will confirm anything.
	What this has led to now is everybody and their uncle calling on the New York Times to release the tape.
	They're calling on Trump to demand that the New York New York Times release the tape.
	They're calling on the New York Times to release.
	Since we know about it now, since it's out there, it would not be fair.
	It would not be right to hide the content.
	I want to remind you, the LA Times is still sitting on a video of Barack Hussein Obama in some wacko Middle East money man who is a supporter of his and underwrites terrorism.
	I'm having a metal block on the name, last name Skyhook, but I think it's Khalid Rashidi or something like that.
	And the New York Times has been sitting on this video.
	Everybody knows it exists.
	They've been sitting on this video since the 2008 campaign.
	They will not release it.
	They claim it's not relevant.
	But obviously, the New York Times, somebody there did not want this to be sat on.
	Well, it turns out that Byron York of the Washington Examiner had an interview with Trump, unbeknownst to anybody that Trump had spoken to the New York Times, and when he asks him about his negotiating position on things, and he specifically asks him.
	I read the art of the deal, Byron York says.
	You say that you have to be bold in negotiation.
	And you often say that you start out by asking three times what you want in order to get what you want when the negotiation is over.
	So, build a wall.
	Is that really what you talk about?
	Or is that just your opener?
	And Trump answers him.
	He does not, he does not cave and say that he didn't mean it or any of the sort, but he does acknowledge that he does do positions, strong positions.
	Sometimes they're negotiating openers, sometimes they're not.
	Point is, I think what what the Byron York interview, it happened very near, very close to the time Trump gave his interview to the New York Times off the record.
	Again, that was Tuesday, January 5th.
	I don't think there's probably going to be any kind of a bombshell in this New York Times interview that Trump did.
	I think we're going to get pretty, if it ever is released, you watch.
	If it's ever released, it's going to be pretty close to what Trump's already told of Byron York.
	And he did not admit anything to Byron York.
	He just acknowledged, yeah, I have that negotiating position.
	Yeah, we started out with strong positions.
	And he's making a joke.
	Okay, maybe the wall won't be 10 feet, maybe it'll be eight feet.
	Maybe it won't be 15 feet, maybe 13, makes jokes about it and so forth, but he does not concede that everything anything he said isn't true.
	But it is clear that anti-Trump forces everywhere are doing their best now to drive a wedge between Trump supporters and Trump because they can't figure out how else to do it.
	And here's the thing they'll never figure it out until they are honest with themselves.
	I have spent, I don't know, I have to add up the hours, but it's many on this program, and what I've said has been transcribed and thus published at rushlimbaud.com, so anybody can go get it, search the website and find it.
	Coco could go find all these examples and link to them today if he wanted to.
	Every instance where I have explained this divide, what the establishment has done is doing to create this anger, to create this segment of the population that wants no part of politics as usual.
	I have spent hours explaining it.
	Justifiable reasons why people feel the way they do.
	It's not hard to figure this out at all, but the people in the establishment still don't get it.
	They still think of this as a temper tantrum that the children are going through.
	And this is not a temper tantrum.
	This is not going away.
	This is not a phase.
	And you know why?
	Because there's an element of this that hasn't been touched on by by a lot of people.
	The anger at the establishment is due to a lot of things.
	But in addition to that, for the first time, it's about class.
	You take a look at the middle class in this country, so you go back to the 60s.
	There hasn't been any significant improvement in the economic status of the middle class in many, many years.
	And yet the smart people, the establishment, the uh elites, whatever you want to call them, the special people.
	Look at what they've done.
	Look at what I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago.
	Look at what happened to the college education.
	College education used to be, and in many places still is still thought of as what?
	A step up.
	A college education is thought of as not just, it's a requirement.
	If you want to better yourself, if you want to be a success, however you define it, you have to go to college.
	Look at what the people who run universities, and look at what the people who run institutions that fund them, look at what they've turned it into.
	A college education today is a millstone around people's necks.
	A college education is not a step up because you're going to spend your whole life repaying your loans to go.
	Look what else they've done to Kyle.
	Look at the worthless stuff that's being taught.
	It's useless when applied in the real world, but the degrees are seductive to young people that touchy feely care about things.
	So they go get degrees in insect and mammoth studies and come out with literally nowhere to go.
	After spending six figures or more for the privilege of being there for four years.
	So the middle class, which is all the the the class consciousness is important in this because not too long ago, if you were in the upper class, you didn't laud it over people.
	You didn't try to act like you were in a place they didn't know about, they weren't entitled to, you weren't able to understand it, and you were you were not persona non-grata.
	Today all that's different.
	The upper class wants nothing to do with anybody else.
	They mock openly make fun of the people who make this country work.
	And the people who make this country work are aware of it and know it.
	This is not a phase.
	This is not temporary.
	This is the end of patience, the end of faith.
	People in the middle class have finally figured out that the so-called betters are screwing everything up.
	They're not making anything better for anybody other than themselves.
	I have to take a break.
	Sit tight.
	We'll be back.
	I'm going to have a little bit more detail on this as the program unfolds.
	Charles Murray had a great piece in the Wall Street Journal recently.
	He made the point here that what's happening with the massive support Trump has, it's it's it's class-based, it's class-related, in addition to being economic and religious.
	And he makes in addition to the point I made about college and how that's been destroyed, really.
	It's no longer a way up.
	It's a millstone around people's neck.
	But it's it's not just that.
	Uh he cites the Iraq War.
	All of these things that have caused people to lose faith in the people telling them they're the only ones qualified to deal with these things.
	The Iraq war, the current, the uh the response to response Hurricane Katrina, the financial crisis, that remains you can't, if the establishment thinks that's over, the the recession, the financial crisis, the TARP bailout, and then the stimulus, all of that stuff, and it's gotten worse.
	It hasn't improved anything.
	And people know it because they're living it.
	All this stuff was supposed to stop crises.
	It was supposed to stop emergencies, re reverse directions.
	So you have the financial crisis, the stimulus, Obamacare, immigration, everything is being made a mess of.
	It isn't improving anything except it's satisfying the desires and the wants of the so-called ruling class.
	And it's it's uh it makes a lot of sense when you think about it in class terms, and then you realize how the establishment ruling, whatever it called, they haven't still the foggiest idea why this is going on and what it really represents.
	Even today they don't.
	No, I don't believe that happened.
	I don't believe that Trump uh uh that that Obama renounced Reverend Wright.
	No, no, that's not what happened.
	In fact, there was pressure on Obama to renounce Reverend Wright, because Reverend Wright was all over the place, you know, the GD America, chickens that come home to roost, we deserve what happened to us 9-11.
	You know, that's over to relive that, but there was pressure on Obama.
	He went on, he did a great so-called great speech on race, but he didn't renounce Reverend Wright.
	In fact, I think what he said was he could no more renounce Reverend Wright than he than he could his white grandmother or some such thing.
	Or if he did, if he did renounce it, well it wasn't a full-throated disavowal of Reverend Wright.
	And he certainly wasn't peppered to do it 25 times in two days, like uh like is happening to uh to Trump.
	So, no, Jeffrey Lloyd has a piece on that today in the American Spectator about the uh hypocrisy that exists here with everybody going after Trump here because he didn't disavow on one show.
	He disavows Duke everywhere but one show, and they won't let it go, and they're trying to make kinds of associations with it, and Jeffrey Lord has to be as well.
	Look at Obama.
	Wouldn't renounce Reverend Wright, nobody demanded he renounce Reverend Wright.
	And it's a good point.
	It's just like this New York Times super secret video that they've got with Trump.
	The LA Times is sitting on that video.
	His name is Rashid Khalidi.
	The tape is from a party in tribute to Khalidi, he's a PLO advisor, turned University of Chicago professor, who was headed to Columbia University to assume a professorship, endowed in honor of Edward Saeed, who is a notorious terrorist apologist.
	And Obama attended this soiree and was seated with Khalidi at the table of honor.
	Bill Ayers attended.
	The LA Times has video of the whole thing, and they will not release it.
	They will not allude to what happens on it.
	Totally unlike what is happening with Trump and his New York Times thing.
	Here's the BuzzFeed headline.
	Donald Trump secretly told the New York Times what he really thinks about immigration.
	So you see here.
	Readers are supposed to believe that Trump admitted to the New York Times on tape that he's been lying to his supporters all along, that he's just stringing them along.
	That's what they want you to believe.
	Now, does anybody believe that Trump is that stupid?
	Is he that stupid that he would actually tell the New York Times that what he's saying about deporting 11 million illegal immigrants building a wall is just a bunch of BS.
	He's not going to go tell the New York Times that they're demanding this thing be released, and I bet you that it wouldn't be substantively different from what Trump told Byron York, who interviewed Trump about this very concept one week after Trump did the New York Times interview, back in early January.
	Of course, back then nobody knew Trump had done it.
	Nobody knew about this till yesterday.
	When somehow the New York Times forgot about journalistic integrity, and somebody there called up Ben Smith or somebody at BuzzFeed, say, you know, uh, you see Gail Collins Column over.
	Yeah, yeah, what about well, want to point out a sentence.
	You know, Trump was here off-the-record meeting with the editorial board.
	I I think Gale's alluded to it here, Ben, you might want to, and Bambo, we're off to the races.
	And it's just it's the latest in flailing efforts made by people scared to death of Trump to try to separate him from his supporters.
	And this is another thing that these people don't get.
	The New York Times cannot cause Trump supporters to abandon him.
	Paul Ryan can't make it happen.
	Marco Rubio can't make it happen.
	Ted Cruz can't make it happen.
	Nobody is.
	And I'll tell one that there's two reasons why.
	Well, the first is that only Trump can damage himself.
	It's the old philosophy.
	None of these people made Trump.
	The New York Times didn't make Trump.
	All these other establishment types, Trump's not where he is because he's been heralded and promoted and had a lot of buzz.
	Trump built this relationship with his supporters himself.
	He's the only one that can tear it as under.
	But there's a second more important reason.
	Trump's supporters are not going to abandon him.
	They're not going to let go of him because of what he represents.
	In one sense, he's a vessel.
	He is the only after repeated efforts.
	He's the only possibility of arresting control of the country back from the upper class that has seized it.
	And at the same time has stopped working for all Americans.
	Trump, that's what Trump represents here.
	And a lot of people who think this is a personality cult also misunderstand what's going on here.
	And at the root of this misunderstanding, and do not doubt me on this, is the arrogant condescension that the ruling class has for average ordinary Americans.
	That's the root of this misunderstanding.
	Not hard to understand when it's explained to you.
	You know, we hear terms like flyover country thrown around.
	But you know, after a while, the people that live in flyover country, they begin to understand what it really means.
	It's a put down.
	It's not just a joke, it's an actual put down.
	It's the part of the country you don't want to live.
	It's the part of a country you don't want to be in except unless it's an accident.
	I read a story yesterday by Clive Cook, and I think he's a Brit.
	He tells the story of a friend of his from the UK, who has lived in Washington for a while, grew up in uh in London and Cambridge or Oxford in the 70s, and said that you know there was all kinds of class distinctions in the UK then, but the upper classes didn't sneer, and they weren't exclusionary, and they didn't laud their exalted status over everybody else.
	They got along, the class lines were drawn and everybody knew it, but there was no sneering from top down.
	There wasn't any arrogant condescension.
	So this guy announces to his friends in Washington he's going to buy a house in West Virginia.
	And they immediately think he's lost his mind.
	Well, you mean you're going to go live next to people that strong a banjo on the front porch?
	Don't have any teeth.
	You're going to hang around with a bunch of people that pull shotgun triggers all day long while yelling about pro-life.
	And he said he had never seen anything like it.
	These were good people, friends of his in Washington, who had this instinctive, insulting, sneering attitude about people they don't know who live in West Virginia, and the attitudes they had about them were based only on the fact that they did not live in Washington.
	They live in West Virginia.
	So the guy goes, builds his house, buys his house, whatever, meets his friends in West Virginia, and they're wonderful people.
	They're fine and dandy people, and they're of course nothing like what his Washington buddies described.
	And his point is that this sneering condescension is something that people in the middle class, both lower, middle, and upper middle Class are fully aware of, they're fully aware of this condescension toward them.
	And these special people in the elite ruling class who've been in charge of everything, who think they're the smart ones, they're the best and brightest.
	They've got the ideas, the best ideas to do best things for the country, and all they're doing is making a mess of things, like screwing up a college education, screwing up the American financial system, bailouts, stimulus that don't work, that don't help anybody except the people that made the mess in the first place.
	They're fundamentally fully aware of all this.
	Then you add to that the cultural rot.
	People of certain religions are being mocked and laughed at and made fun of and are openly being told they are the problem.
	Things are happening in neighborhoods and businesses that ten years ago were unthinkable.
	They think they've voted for people sympathetic, trying to stop it.
	Nothing stops it, it only gets worse.
	So these people are fundamentally devoted to an overthrow and an upheaval.
	I hesitate to use the word revolution, but my point here is that this is not just about Trump.
	And by the way, if you Trumpists, this is not a Trump put down, please.
	You can check your sensitivity at the door here when you turn on the program.
	I'm not suggesting your devotion to Trump is fine and dandy.
	I'm just, I'm saying that your issues, the things that have you animated, you cannot be separated from Trump because the issues are even bigger than Trump is.
	Trump's the best opportunity that you've had that these people have had to fix what they think needs to be fixed that other people have broken, and they're sick and tired of being told that people better than them, higher on the class structure ladder.
	They're the ones that should be in charge of.
	No, they're the ones that have made the biggest messes.
	They're the ones that screwed everything up, and in the process, they've taken care of themselves.
	They're not facing any of these other dire consequences that everybody else in the country is.
	This is real.
	It's not a tantrum, it's not a phase.
	And all of these efforts to separate Trump supporters from Trump isn't going to happen.
	The only guy that can do that is Trump.
	And he'd have to work pretty hard at it.
	If he even wanted to.
	And I don't, I don't think that's even a possibility.
	But this is so much bigger than just it's not a personality cult thing.
	We got to have Trump, we got to have Trump because they're devoted to Trump in a in a hero worship since it's what Trump represents.
	It's the opportunity, it's the voice that they haven't had.
	It's the voice they haven't been listened to.
	It's the voice that they've been shouting that nobody's been doing anything but making fun of them for speaking.
	It's perfectly understandable.
	But if you're in the ruling class, the establishment, part of the elites, or whatever, and you can't get past your arrogant condescension of the people supporting Trump or any other candidate that's not your chosen, if you can't get past why they exist and who they are, you're never going to understand this, and you're never going to be able to do anything about it.
	And I have as evidence, Tom Brokaw.
	Now here's Broco.
	Brokaw wrote a book called The Greatest Generation.
	And to this day, I think he got the idea from it on this program.
	But I don't want to go any further.
	It was a great book with a great premise about the World War II generation.
	But Brokaw was on the Today Show today in NBC.
	And he was talking to Matt Wauer and Savannah Guthrie.
	And they were all wringing their hands about angry America.
	And what's to blame for it?
	Who's responsible?
	What is all this anger?
	Why are people so angry?
	What does it mean, Tom?
	And you know what Tom said?
	Intractable GOP opposition to Obama is to blame for angry America.
	Now, folks, you couldn't be more wrong about that if you set out to try.
	But Tom Brokaw exemplifies the thinking here in the so-called establishment.
	The anger, intractable Republican opposition is to blame for angry.
	So, according to Brokaw, the anger out there is that people ticked off that the Republicans, I guess, are not working with Obama, and the people want Washington to work, and they want people to cooperate, and they want there to be compromised, and they want Washington to get along.
	He doesn't even know who's mad.
	If he doesn't even know who's mad and why, this is so cliched to think the anger is people ticked off the Republicans are causing gridlock.
	There isn't any gridlock.
	The Republicans have been getting along just fine with the Democrats.
	The Republicans have been making it a point not to stop Obama, not to oppose Obama, can't get anywhere near a government shutdown.
	Whatever Obama wants in the budget, he gets that and more.
	There isn't any lack of working together's too much.
	I mean, but this illustrates how clueless these people who live in their cocoon really are about the attitudes of the American voter.
	Look at did you see the story out of Massachusetts?
	The Democrats there woke up one day found twenty thousand Democrats have registered Republican.
	A modified operation chaos.
	Why did they do this?
	Massachusetts, 20,000 Democrats re-registered as Republicans.
	They want to vote Republican.
	They're not trying to sabotage the Republican side.
	They want to vote Republic.
	And the Democrats in Massachusetts are worried stiff over this.
	All right, let me grab a quick phone call here.
	Choose.
	Well, that's good.
	I was gonna I was gonna go to number four, whether you told me to go there or not.
	So there's a Patrick in Cleveland.
	Hello, sir.
	You're up first today, and it's uh really great to have you with us.
	Hi.
	Thanks, Russia Honor.
	A 24-year uh member of the Institute of Conservative Studies, except I'm feeling that I'm gonna have to resign my p position, Rush.
	I'm just I I've been listening to you again for 24 years, listening to you for the last couple months, and I just I'm tired of hearing that any criticism of Trump always has to be framed as if it's the establishment against Trump.
	There are plenty of us out here who are true conservatives who are not buying the Trump bandwagon, and we're getting tired of being lumped into the establishment.
	What have you said for the last ten or fifteen years about people in this country not knowing what a conservative is because we haven't had a true conservative running since maybe Reagan?
	Exactly.
	They haven't even had a chance to vote for a genuine conversation.
	Exactly.
	So here we go.
	We're coming out of seven years of Obama socialism, and we have a golden opportunity to showcase what a true conservative would be in contrast to that.
	And what are we doing?
	We're we're on the verge of nominating a con artist who is flip-flops on everything.
	It never answers a question.
	All he ever does is deflect and attack the whole New York Times thing is a perfect example of that.
	And and we're gonna blow it.
	We're definitely gonna blow it.
	And if he gets in or Hillary gets in, what's the freaking difference?
	I mean, it's the same thing.
	Well, now that happens to be an excellent question, but before I answer that, I need to tell you that I am not lumping you or me, mainstream conservatives, you say you oppose Trump with the establishment.
	I'm reacting to the news of the day.
	There's n I I'm just, you know, I've look at this as the nightly news at noon.
	No, I understand.
	The news of the day is the establishment is going bonkers, even more so than ever.
	I'm just trying to explain it, and I've got uh we went back and actually checked my website for all the attempts that I have made in the last number of uh years, starting back 2010 to explain to the establishment why something like this was going to happen.
	And I understand that.
	And believe me, I have no fan of the establishment whatsoever.
	I understand perfectly why this is happening.
	I mean you you kind of touched on it with the Brokow thing where Brockoff said, you know, well, it's because they're not working with Obama, they're gonna hang with you.
	That's it.
	Hold it right there.
	Hope you can hold on because I've reached the moment where I can't uh let the break float.
	I've got to take it now.
	But I hope you can hold on.
	We'll pick it up here in the next hour as soon as we can.
	Okay, Patrick is gonna hold on, and we're gonna bust the programming format.
	We're gonna t we're gonna resume the call with him right when the next hour m monologue segment uh begins.
	Uh there are a lot of people, a lot of reactions.
	And you know what?
	I have my reactions to you people too.
	I mean, I'm not just sitting here to you're not the only ones out there getting mad.
	You think I don't get mad at you.
	Well, I mean, I'm not supposed to, but sometimes I do.
