Right.
Now remember another thing here, folks, as you watch the drive-by's and all this, it is in their interests for you to think this isn't over or isn't close to over.
They want to prolong this for ratings and interest for as long as they can.
And if that means propping Rubio up when he really doesn't have a chance, they'll do it.
If it means propping Cruz up when nobody really wants them to win, they'll do it.
If I may be honest, it's why we did Operation Chaos.
Back in 2008.
Back in 2008, the Republican primary was over by this time.
McCain had wrapped it up.
There was no drama left on the Republican side.
But over there, on the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton still had a fleeting chance.
And so I, El Rushbow, instituted Operation Chaos.
And little did I know this so discombobulated the Democrats, they made a couple of movies about it.
One of them was called the ID's a march with George Clooney in there.
What Operation Chaos was, I urged Republicans in states that Republican primary didn't matter anymore because McCain already wrapped it up, to, if they had to, change registration temporarily and go vote for Hillary.
Just to keep her alive, just to keep Obama from winning that thing long before the summer came, just so that we would have, well, it was fun to toy around with them.
Uh, and although it was it was nice to be able to say that I was able to be bipartisan and do some things that were helpful to Mrs. Clinton in her race with uh Obama.
And it was, according to the critics, uh Operation Chaos actually made a difference in two states that succeeded in prolonging the Democrat primary.
It required superdelegate commitments in June to vanquish Mrs. Clinton.
And so the same thing here, the drive-bys do not want this over.
Plus, you know, depending on which drive-by you look at, they have an equal distaste for Trump or Cruz or what have you.
Now here's the delegate count.
Right now, Trump is at 316, Ted Cruz is at 226, Marco Rubio at 106.
Kasich has 25 and Ben Carson eight.
Now here the different way to look at this.
Trump 316.
Cruz and Rubio 332.
The establishment says, see, see, there are more Republicans voting against Trump that are voting for him.
We need one of these guys to drop out.
They want Cruz to drop out, which is silly.
It's the silliest thing.
They want Cruz to drop out, thinking that that every every Cruz vote's gonna go to Rubio.
That's not gonna happen, but that's what they're dreaming.
And then if you further, if you if you add Kasich and Carson to this, and you have a total of 365 delegates other than for Trump and 316 for Trump.
Now it was theorized by some political scientists have heard his name that if Trump ended Super Tuesday with a 300 delegate lead that was all essentially over, and Trump does not have a 300 delegate lead, he has basically a 90 delegate lead over over Cruz.
And again, the four states coming up this weekend are closed.
And we'll see if the establishment theory is correct that when it's only Republicans voting, uh there's a greater likelihood that Trump will not win them, nor or maybe not win them as uh as big.
But what you see is reality, and the reality here is that Trump is leading by massive numbers in pre-election polls, and he's pretty much performing to the polls.
He's underperforming in a couple places, but this looks daunting.
But if you if you allow yourself to get lost in the drive-by coverage, you can actually end up being convinced that thing isn't whisper close, it's nipping tuck out there, and that Rubio is on such a roll, he's just moments away from winning this thing.
I mean that If you watched Fox News last night, if you turn over CNN, depending on the time and who the guests were, you could, and if you didn't know anything had happened, you could have concluded that Rubio had one hell of a night last night.
If you didn't know vote totals, if all you heard was analysis, because everybody's got their horse in the race, and nobody wants the horse to lose.
Everybody wants everybody to think their horse is still in this with a viable, legitimate chance, and nothing's over here.
That's why you have to trust your instincts.
And of course, uh trust me.
Now we've got a lot of people don't want to get in on this on the phones today, and we're going to have a lot of a focus on that.
But folks, I need to take a brief departure.
You have to hear something.
I have three sound bites that happen on CNN today before the program started.
It's Jeffrey Lord, whom you know as a writer for the American Spectator, a former political director in the Reagan administration.
He has joined CNN as a conservative commentator some months ago, and is appearing more and more frequently, more and more often on CNN because he's doing a bang up job over there.
He also happens to be a Trumpster for all intents and purposes.
He's a solid rock ribbed conservative.
And we interviewed him for the limbaugh letter.
And he says he sees a lot of Reagan in Trump.
Just telling you what he says.
The purpose of his appearance today, CNN will not let go of Trump not disavowing the KKK or David Duke on Jake Tapper's show last Sunday.
The fact that Trump has disavowed Duke and the KKK a gazillion times doesn't count at CNN.
And the reason it doesn't count is because he didn't disavow on Sunday with Jake Tapper.
And they won't let it go.
And Jeffrey Lord's exactly right about this is exactly how the drive-bys operate.
And you throw race into the mix, and you've you you you have a guaranteed kerfuffle that they will not let go because there are so many institutional biases here.
And the first institutional bias is that all Republicans are racist pigs who regret the days of slavery ever ended.
That's what your average ordinary media leftist believes today.
Well, Jeffrey's on CNN all week telling them, you know, you guys have got this all wrong.
The KKK was a bunch of Democrats.
The KKK was the militarized wing of the Democrat Party.
The Klan was all Democrats, segregationists, and and and CNN can't fathom it.
They don't understand it.
It doesn't compute.
And you combine those two things, the fact that they they just in their world, Trump has not disavowed.
He disavowed.
I counted 15 times last night.
He got the question again.
But CNN won't let go of it because he didn't disavow on our Sunday show.
And uh what Chris Cuomo says, there's got to be a reason.
You know, he's he's he's he was whatever theory they've got is that Trump doesn't mean all these disavowals elsewhere, because he didn't disavow on our show, that's what's real.
And the 25 gazillion thousand times he has disavowed, they don't count.
Because we don't want to let go of the issue.
So they brought in Jeffrey Lord to go up against Van Jones.
I have three sound bites of this.
This segment went through commercial breaks.
It went through 25 minutes, it seemed like.
We don't have all of that.
We can't play all of that, obviously.
But we've cut it up here to give you a bit of a flavor for how it went.
Oh, I guess this was last night.
I thought this was live today.
How could this have been?
Did they redo this again today?
This had uh what I saw today, they had uh uh what's her face?
Uh Alison Camarada.
Uh well, okay, doesn't Matter.
I watched it today.
Maybe they were replaying this that happened last night.
Here's the setup.
Talking about the controversy of Trump not disavowing Duke and the Klan being a left-wing Democrat organization.
Van Jones starts out, and there are three soundbites here.
The Klan is a terrorist organization that has killed the city.
The leftist terrorism.
That's your game to play.
No, it's a game to do this.
You came on the air, and you said, well, this is just like when Reverend Wright was speaking.
Reverend Wright never lynched anybody.
Reverend Wright never killed anybody.
Reverend Wright.
Reverend Wright never put anybody on a post.
And you guys play these word games.
And it's wrong to do in America.
It is wrong to it is wrong to understand that these are not leftists.
You don't hide and say that's not part of the base of the Democratic Party.
They were the military arm, the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, according to historians.
For God's sake, read your history.
And it continued.
This is a media thing here.
Did he make a mistake?
Sure.
But he has said this many, many times.
I've gone back and looked.
He's well on record over and over and over again.
That whole thing with those central jogger kids.
He got the entire city of New York whipped up on this idea that these kids have done something wrong.
And then when it turned out they were innocent.
We all make mistakes.
Right.
He never apologized to those kids.
What you're doing right here, what you're doing here is dividing people.
We're all Americans today.
This is what liberals do.
You were dividing people by race.
I am not sure.
This is what liberalism is all about.
They did it to further the progressive agenda.
And one more.
I have a kid, seven years old.
Watching all this nonsense in your party, he turns around and he says, you know, Dad, you're a liar.
He doesn't even know what the word means, but he sees so much vitriol from your party.
He brings that into our house.
Now we got to have him watch, you know, Nick Jr., he can't even observe civics because of what's going on in your party.
Tell Donald Trump.
He needs, for my children's sake, for the children's sake of America, if he's going to leave this country, he needs to be as passionate about what is happening.
We have to be in my action in my community.
We have to be passionate about making sure that as Robert Kennedy used to say, that this country is colorblind.
We have to, as President Kennedy, stop, stop.
You know, I folks, I'm sorry.
I set you up for something that this is not.
This obviously was from last night.
They did it again this morning.
I didn't see this last night.
This is not noteworthy.
Whatever you heard here, this is jump change, to what happened today.
And it was, I don't know, around 10 o'clock or 1030.
I forget what it was.
It was before the program started.
And it was it was focused on the fact, it was focused on Trump.
It was focused on the Klan.
It was focused on how the Democrats do this.
That they get this idea in their heads, and no matter what, they fit every event into their narrative.
And in this case, the KKK is a bunch of right-wing terrorists.
It doesn't matter where they were formed, it doesn't matter who formed them, it doesn't matter that Robert Byrd was a member.
That's years ago, and we're talking about today.
And Trump won't disavow him, even though Trump has.
And Jeffrey Lord was just, they were inches away from it.
Face to face.
It was civil the whole time it was civil.
But it was something you never see on CNN.
Because they don't have anybody on there that could do what Lord did.
It was it was uh it was it was really uh electric.
And uh it it ended up, Van Jones ended up uh expressing his profound respect for Lord, you know, and and and Cuomo was saying, look, I think I see what the problem here is, and he nailed the problem uh from Lord's perspective, but it didn't get anywhere near solving anything.
It was just that for the first time ever, I saw the way a narrative regarding race and the race card is used in the liberal media, blown up and thrown right back in their faces successfully.
And the people uh Van Jones and these other people had no idea they had never heard this perspective.
It's a foreign language to them that the KKK was a bunch of Democrats.
Even though you can give them the names, Lester Maddox, George Wallace, uh Robert Byrd, you can all of that doesn't matter.
That was then, and today is today, and they've got their narrative that the Republicans and Trump are racist pigs and so forth.
And this disavowal of the uh KKK Trump still hasn't done it because he didn't do it on their Sunday show.
Anyway, let me take a break and we come back.
I'm gonna get started with uh Those of you on the phones, as we still have all kinds of things to analyze today, such as dare I say this.
I think I detected last night.
What is limiting Ted Cruz?
You think I should detail?
Okay, I'll think about it.
In the meantime, a brief obscene profit timeout.
We will be back after this.
Don't go away.
Hi, are you?
Welcome back.
Rush Schlidball behind the golden EIB microphone.
By the way, uh big, big big announcement moments ago that Mitt Romney is going to have a big, big, big, big big announcement tomorrow.
And Mitt Romney is going to make a big, big, big, big major speech tomorrow.
However, we are also told that Mitt Romney is not going to enter the race.
Mitt Romney is not going to announce himself as a candidate.
By the way, one of the strategies, the three-prong strategy that I mentioned to you, just wait it out and hope that Trump doesn't get to 237 or 1,237.
There's another part of that strategy, and that is Romney.
If it looks like that might happen, Romney enter the race at the end, like before the California primary, and go in there and actually having contested as a candidate, and then the party unites and coalesces around Romney.
I I I kid you not.
This is an establishment dream.
There are some in the Republican Party to whom that is the solution.
It boggles the mind.
It boggles the they're going to send Romney out there just to ring the warning bell.
These guys are, we're on the danger of losing the Republican Party, Rush.
You realize what's happening here?
We're going to party going to be blown up if we don't stop Trump.
The party's over.
We got it, we gotta.
I I I watched this.
I said, Well, you guys are the ones that tell your base that they're not wanted, not needed, or whatever.
But of all people to send out this warning, I mean is they make this job tough.
You know, you to describe what they're doing, uh, you can't avoid sounding mean unbelieving, whatever.
It's really hard.
But why don't they send McCain out?
Why don't they send Dole out?
Why don't they?
Oh, I don't know.
Christy Todd Whitman, I mean, who else have they got?
I'm joking.
I'm trying to make a point here.
It doesn't matter who they send out.
They send anybody out in the establishment warning we're about to lose the party.
Everybody's gonna shout, no, no, you are losing the party, and you may have already lost it.
Don't blame us.
Anyway, to the phones we go.
Richmond, Virginia.
This James, great to have your first today in the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, thank you for taking the call.
Get right to the point.
Um, what I listened to all last night and most of the morning here now on the radio is number two and number three.
Everybody's talking about who came in second, and amazingly who came in third.
But I think there's an amazing story to tell about Trump.
What he's done.
He's never run for office before, he's never held office.
He spent less than any of the top three.
He's fought against the media, he's fought against the establishment, he's fought against the other candidates.
He's on top, he's won eleven states, and no one is telling that story.
Oh, yeah, they are.
Trump is.
No one in the media, excuse me.
Oh.
Well, you're right.
I get your point, but it's it's because what I told you moments ago.
You you're you're taking it, you're a Trumpist, obviously, and you're taking it personally.
They're slighting your guy.
You ought to be in the cruise camp.
If you want to talk about being slighted, I mean, Cruz can't even get a dimesworth of respect in TV last night.
It's like he's not even there.
Yeah, is either we gotta stop Trump and the way we do that, we gotta call us around Rubio.
Cruz is considered to be, you know, a little thorn here that we have to dispatch.
Cruz is the only guy that's beaten Trump.
Cruz is the only guy that has a legitimate chance to, But they don't want any part of that.
But they're not going to tell the story you just told because that makes it look like it's over.
And they don't want this to be over.
There are advertising rates being set on this going into the summer.
They can't have this thing over in March like it was in uh in 2008.
Uh Don in San Antonio, your next hello, sir.
Maha Russia, how in the world we doing.
I'm doing just fine, sir.
Thank you very much.
How about you?
Sir, it is time for you to stop with the humility and stop with just not having taken all of this as if you have nothing to do with all this.
I think you got everything to do with this, Rush.
And let me just say this this is the reason why.
Operation Chaos was implemented in 2008, I believe.
It was, you're right.
And sir, I truly believe the Democrats have taken a taken a page out of your playbook and put it in the Republican Party.
And they are trying to set up to whereas Trump will be the nominee so that Hillary can meet Trump and he will have an easier time or whitewashing Trump than the other candidates.
You know, uh Don, can you hang on for just a couple of more minutes?
I have another obscene profit timeout.
I've got to talk about it.
Of course, sir, anytime you make money, I will hold on.
Well, I appreciate that.
That's a man of superior understanding and awareness.
And we go back to Don in San Antonio, who thinks that I am not bragging enough about the role that I am playing in all this, that my humility is so thick that you can see right through it.
Uh what what do you mean you you you you think the Democrats have stolen Operation Chaos and are using it on us now we don't know.
We we're unsuspecting of this.
Yes, sir.
I surely do.
Well, explain to me, Don, how is it that and by the way uh uh story to tell you about this after you finish, but how is it that the Democrats have been able to essentially put Trump in our race and then put him at the top of our race and make it look like Trump's gonna win this thing if the objective is really to elect Hillary.
How could they have possibly orchestrated all that?
And when did they do it?
Well, I think they did it.
Two things that you did.
It was interesting that you came on at the top of the broadcast, and you said how when you were playing golf with Trump, Trump was asking you all of these questions concerning concerning about potentially all of these things that are going on in our nation.
He just wanted to know what I thought about things.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
When it showed initially, his point of view on all of those things were totally opposite of what the Republican Party stands for.
They were talking about uh Planned Parenthood, he was all for it.
Yeah, but I he didn't ask me about Planned Parenthood.
Oh, okay.
He didn't ask about No, no, he asked me why I left New York.
It was a tax question.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir, because he's now beginning to see what liberal politics were beginning to put into his own in his own pocket book.
It was beginning to affect it.
So, yes, he wanted to try to find these things out, and he actually was seeing how Republican ideals, especially when it comes to less government, less taxes, giving the people more of what they already own is more beneficial than anybody else.
But but the things that he's talking about tax-wise are not in any way similar to Democrat policy beliefs on taxes.
No, it's not, but that was the thing that he actually was using.
He is actually even said that he would like to raise taxes on people of his stature more so than anything else.
To me, Trump is just a Democrat.
And that's the reason why it also explains, because I am a black American here in San Antonio, Texas.
It explains to me why a lot of minorities are also voting for Trump.
To me, his policy as to how he actually was was no less than a as you would say, not a conservative, a dixocrat.
Yeah, but but Don, hang on just a second here.
Because Travis or Tavis, Tavis Smiley, yes, sir, has come out uh today or last night and said you you all ought not be surprised if you see a lot of the black vote signing up with Trump.
Yes, sir.
But Don, I have to tell you that that to me would make total sense.
The Democrat Party has failed the African American population over and over and over again.
The Democrat Party has promised the African American population, we will take care of you.
We're gonna stop racism, we're gonna stop discrimination, we're gonna make sure you get equally hired and equally, and none of it happens.
It's worse now.
Chicago, wherever you want to go, after the last seven years of Obama, it's worse than before Obama took office.
But it's never.
The Democrats have never delivered on any of their promises.
True.
But remember, Hillary and Bill.
Bill was the first black president.
You know that now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So don't forget that.
And Hillary is a part of that.
Now, this is what really got me, though, Rush.
The thing that I'm looking at, and this is really why I am looking at Operation Chaos as being a typical part of this.
When asked, when I asked some of my own black constituents, why in the world we don't have more people getting behind, let's say Ben Carson.
He's a black man that's running.
A very successful black man.
Why aren't we getting behind him who happens to be a staunch Christian?
Why aren't we getting behind him?
The first thing that I hear is, ah, he's just a he's just uh a surgeon.
Huh?
Sorry.
What was Barack who who was President Obama?
Nobody knew anything about President Obama.
It doesn't matter.
That's exactly right.
Here's here's the thing.
The race business in this country has been so corrupted, and by business, I don't mean the industry, but the whole subject has been corrupted.
The reason when you ask African Americans why they're gonna go for Ben Carter, he's an Uncle Tom.
He's a traitor.
He's a Republican.
This is branding, this is news narratives, fifty years of propaganda that the Republicans and conservatives are things that they aren't.
That the Democrats have succeeded in making African Americans believe.
And it's not just African Americans.
They've made the poor.
They have made Jewish people think that Republicans are this focus of evil in the modern world.
They have succeeded in doing it.
And nothing is a better illustration of it than how they have successfully.
I mean, the KKK, a Democrat sponsored organization.
NPR just did a story on the KKK.
One of the early missions of the KKK was to actually murder Republicans who were not going to vote the way Democrats wanted.
I mean, the segregationists, the plantation owners in this, this was all Democrats.
There's a reason that the Republican Party's president, Abe Lincoln, ended slavery.
The Democrats didn't end it.
But none of that matters because all that matters is 1964 forward and the Civil Rights Act.
And even that wouldn't have happened had it not been for Republican participation.
Greater percentage of Republican senators voted for it than Democrats.
It's this is one of the greatest reversals of reality in modern times that I have ever seen.
That's why this debate about it today on CNN that happened with Jeffrey Lloyd and and uh Van Jones was just stunning.
Because you can see these young African Americans, they have no clue.
The idea that KKK, in fact, anybody you mention that to at CNN, you're you you're gonna stop them dead in their tracks.
They have never heard.
It's just like the other day when we found out the CEO of Land's End of uh young female in her 40s, decided his major marketing push for this season was a portion of sales would go to Gloria Steinem and pro abortion movements or whatever.
And the clientele at lands and had a conniption, and they wrote back and they said, Screw you!
They sent catalogs back, we're not buying diddly squat from you.
The CEO lives in New York, had no clue.
In her world, everybody idolizes Gloria Steinem.
In her world, abortion is something everybody wants to do at least once.
It's a life achievement thing.
In her world, she doesn't know anybody who doesn't think Gloria Steinem is just the end of things.
They live in this closeted, cocooned world.
And these leftists at CNN, when confronted with the idea that the KKK might have been a Democrat-leftist organization, are speechless, don't know what to do with it.
They've never heard it.
Now, about your operation chaos theory.
You know, I love having fun with people.
You know me, I'm a fun-loving, jocular kind of guy.
And at times I love to uh do bits.
That's what I used to call satirical parodies that I used to do on the program back in the early days.
And I found myself recently in a conversation with some people who were just kind of Don kind of like you, thinking that this whole thinks, that Trump running away with this, this can't be real.
This has to be manufactured, some conspiracy, because none of this makes sense.
Just on the same basis, you said that Trump's not a Republican, that Trump's this, he's never been a politician.
How in the hell does this happen?
And in this conversation, these people were telling me this is a sign of how the Republican establishment, they've just lost control of everything.
And I said, wait, have you ever stopped to think that maybe the establishment's getting everything they want here?
Have you ever stopped to think for a minute that maybe all of this is exactly what the establishment?
What do you mean?
Well, they want Hillary to be elected, right?
Damn right.
Okay, so why not come up with a guy who they know is going to be loved and adored by the Republicans, some of them, siphon off a bunch of votes, guaranteed to get Hillary Clinton elected.
What if this whole thing is nothing but a giant trick that the establishment is doing this on purpose, making it look like they've lost control, making it look like they're in panic, making it look like they have no clue how to hold on.
And in fact, everything that's happening is because of a grand scheme that they have set in motion.
And it stopped them dead in their tracks.
And they started thinking, you know what?
Oh my God, you got you all, and they thought that I might have a brilliant point here, that I might really be onto something.
And I was just making it up for the fun of it, just to illustrate to myself and to them how easy it is when things don't make sense to come up with the wildest, most irrational explanation you can, and people will glom onto it because the simple explanation, the thing that's right in front of them is so simple, so easy, it can't be dead.
And the establishment, you tell people, these are the most powerful people in the world.
Do you really think they're gonna sit here and let something like this happen to them?
No, they're behind this.
Everything that's happening here is designed to keep the establishment in power while everybody thinks they're losing it.
It's the best of both worlds.
And I had these people eating out of the palm of my hands on it.
Snertly watched it happen.
He said, You ought to try this on the air.
I said, No, this is too to do this, that would be irresponsible.
Because if I did this for real without telling you about it the way I'm doing it now, I could start.
Uh, who knows what kind of panic that I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't want them anywhere near responsible for.
So my point is that what Don's saying here, that this is a Democrat trick or an establishment trick.
There will be people who believe it.
And here's a little, I get a little tweet here.
You know the British House of Commons member that took America by storm a couple three years ago, Daniel Hannon.
Well, he tweeted something out.
He says, I know no one cares, but if only for the record, I want everybody to see the latest from the CNN poll.
And what he tweeted is Rubio 50, Clinton 47, Clinton 52, Trump 44.
And there is the latest CNN poll, does show Rubio is the only one beating Hillary.
Now his point is this, if you want to know why the establishment's trying to circle wagons and get Rubios, because they live and die by polls, and they got a poll that says Rubio's the only guy can beat Hillary.
And by the same token, Clinton, in this poll, anyway, Clinton beats Trump easier than any other Republican.
I don't think you need this poll to convince people the establishment doesn't like Trump.
I'm not saying the poll is not a factor here.
But I also don't believe the poll to uh to and I know you can selectively choose to accept and believe one part of it and not the other, but I'm selectively choosing to think that poll is a crock.
It meant not a purposeful crock, I just think it's wrong.
I don't think any poll taken right now on the presidential race, two-man race, when we do not have the candidates, is worth its weight in the paper it takes to print it.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution rush limbaugh, the EIB network.
Yeah, I'm I'm sitting here thinking about Chris Christie.
This is another one of these things that won't go away.
Uh they're they're making fun of the guy.
They are literally destroying the guy.
And I'm sure that Christie, when he endorsed Trump, I think he probably thought it was gonna be heralded.
You know, great move, courageous move.
Uh here's an establishment guy, former chairman or president, whatever they call it, Republican Governors Association.
And instead, you know, he standing behind Trump last night on the stage, not knowing how to do it.
I mean, he's not a guy that stands on the stage, he commands the stage.
He was ordered to stand on the stage behind Trump for a long time.
What do you do with your eyes?
You dart back and forth.
Uh, do you smile, do you not smile?
Do you rack Trump, or do you look like a security guard scanning the area for uh problems?
What do you what do you do?
There aren't any lessons for this.
So the media there, everybody's tweeting pictures.
Christie Pork looking being held hostage in a hostage video or whatever else they're saying.
You know, just it just reminded me of something.
A life lesson, essentially.
When you when you try to elevate yourself by association, it generally doesn't work.
When somebody, because of their own achievements or whatever, is basking in a very warm glow of hot light.
There's a lot of people that want to stand next to the person so they can be seen in the light.
But they really haven't done anything to be there.
So it's it's like all these sycophants who want to hang around the Kardashians, or it's like all these sycophants that want to hang around the celebrity of the moment, or the uh the hot politician.
You whatever's a hot politician, you can make book, you can find these people, these uh I call these suck-up hangers on.
That's not what Christie was doing.
He's actually uh looking forward to political career, his term limited New Jersey's finished when this term is over.
Effort to become president and Republican nominee failed, so you know, hit your wagon to the guy, it's going somewhere, maybe be attorney general or vice president or what have you.
But poor Christie, it just hasn't worked.
This this elevate yourself by associations with Romney.
And then there was the Obama hug, that didn't work out.
Um Letterman during the bridge, Bridgegate thing.
And remember how the, you know, I really felt so bad for him when the Springsteen thing imploded on him.
I mean, here's a guy who, like many people in the country, just the Brits Bruce Springsteen is great.
They just love Springsteen's greatest guy, and he's a New Jersey guy, and so you want to be a Jersey guy like Springsteen was.
And Christie told everybody when he finally got to talk to Springsteen, he cried.
And that Obama had set that up.
It was a phone call.
Obama did that for him.
He was talking about how proud of the day he got to talk to Springsteen.
And then during Bridgegate, what happened?
Springsteen goes on Jimmy Fallon and creates new lyrics for some famous Springsteen song, Making Fun of Christie.
It just...
The poor guy can't catch a break here.
And it's...
Well, it's like Dawn would say.
It's just very sad.
It's very sad.
Okay, Cookie did some hard, fast work, and we've got a couple of sound bites here from today's example.
And I was talking, the one I saw today, Van Jones and Jeffrey Lord on Trump and disavowing the KKK and Jeffrey telling him it's CNN the KKK is a bunch of left wing Democrats.
And a couple sound bites just to uh share with you what I saw today.
