Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, hey, hey, how are you doing, folks?
It's great to be here chomping at the bit all day yesterday for this moment in time to arrive.
That's right, the beginning of yet another excursion into broadcast excellence, hosted by me, Rushlin Ball.
We're here at 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
I'm just going to give you a brief overview of some things here, and then as the program unfolds, we'll get into it in uh in great detail.
The primaries tomorrow.
Do not overlook Illinois and Missouri.
They are going to be important.
But as far as Florida and Ohio are concerned, the polling data now has Marco Rubio in third place, latest CBS poll, Rubio in third place in Florida.
Trump has canceled an appearance that was scheduled for tonight at Trump Dural down in Miami, and instead has scheduled an event for Youngstown, Ohio.
That's because there are two polls on Ohio out there, and one of them Kasich is ahead by six, and in another they are tied at 333.
My preference is that Trump win Florida and Ohio.
John Kasich.
Have you heard what Kasich did today?
Kasich has come out.
I'm going to tell you what's happening here, folks.
Kasich has come out full throated 100% for amnesty.
He is talking like Jeb Bush talks about amnesty and the illegal immigrants as gifts from God or some such thing.
And he has made it clear what's going on here.
The establishment has one last great hope, and that's Kasich winning in Ohio.
And they're sending Kasich out there, or maybe he's doing it on his own, but he is full throated, promising amnesty in 100 days.
If he's elected president, which he's not going to be.
But if he's elected president with the first hundred days, we're going to get comprehensive immigration reform amnesty.
The establishment's lining up behind him.
And the reason is obvious.
If Kasich wins Ohio, which is what the smart money thinks is going to happen now.
That's why Kasich's gone all in on amnesty, which I think could kill it, frankly.
Plus wait till Ohioans find out that he voted for NAFTA.
You know, the trade deals are one of Trump's big strong suits, and Trump's impounding that in his trips to Ohio.
But anyway.
By going all in for Amnesty with the support of the establishment, if Kasich wins Ohio and the smart money says he's going to, okay, so that means the establishment could run around on Wednesday saying, see, see the mainstream Republican Party position is for comprehensive immigration reform.
And they will use that, however, they use that all the way from here until the convention in uh in Cleveland in July.
Now, even if Kasich wins Ohio, he's mathematically eliminated from winning a nomination in the primaries.
He cannot get to 1237.
If he uh even if he wins Ohio, if he loses it, it's not even close.
If he wins, I mean he'd have to do something impossible like win 75% of all the delegates remaining throughout all of the uh all of the states.
But that doesn't matter.
He's gonna stay in.
If he wins, I think if he loses Ohio, he's gonna stay in.
And he's going to stay in because the last great hope that the establishment has is for a contested um convention.
Uh now, I don't mean to imply that Kasich's uh said something brand new about Amnesty.
He hasn't denied it.
This he's still all in on the on the promise and on the on the subject.
Uh the most recent reporting on Kasich is some some weeks ago, but it's been highlighted here today as that's one of the things that he has been campaigning on and making a uh a big deal of.
So if you want this to be a two-man race, and if you want it, because if you look at all of this polling data, I mean here's here's the way to look at this.
Look at uh pick Florida or pick Ohio, I don't care which.
You've got Trump at whatever number he's at, and then everybody else equals vastly greater than Trump.
Everybody combined.
Now the theory is that the uh majority of of votes that are currently for Cruz for Rubio for Kasich, a majority would go to Cruz.
Not all of them.
Some would go to Trump, but you would have to say by common sense not a majority, or they'd already be with Trump.
So there is still within the Republican primary voting sector, there would appear to be a greater number of people opposed to Trump than for him, but it's never going to manifest itself if Kasich stay and Rubio.
It's hard to say what Rubio can stay in two.
I mean, I don't mean to leave him out of the conversation, but but Rubio now targeted to come in three in his third place in his home state.
So Kasich seems to be the focus here, and I don't think he's going to get out, no matter what happens, whether if he wins Ohio, he's definitely not going to get out.
But I think if he if he loses it, uh he will he'll probably stay in too.
But it would be it'd be a much a much tougher sell.
Now let's let's go further.
Let's say, let me put some things out there for you to think about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna get to the violence business.
That's that's not hard to analyze.
I mean, everybody's getting that wrong.
And he's being led by the drive-by, and sadly some Republicans.
But yeah, we'll get to it.
But just to hang on there be tough.
Be patient.
Can't do it all in the first monologue segment.
The cruise people really believe they can get to 1237.
But if they can't, they really believe they can, if if things fall right, they can end up with more delegates than Trump.
So they believe they can go into Cleveland with a greater number of delegates than Trump has, but still not enough to get 1237, in which case they would argue that they should be the nominee because they have more delegates and more votes than anybody else, and to deny them would cause chaos.
And and and Trump will say the same thing if he doesn't get to 1237.
But the GOP Rules Committee has yet to meet.
There's another rules meeting coming up in April where they can change, do anything they want.
So we're by no means over this thing, and that's gonna be something that I think everybody needs to keep in mind after tomorrow.
There are going to be powerful forces in all media that will attempt to convince as many people as possible that it's over after tomorrow.
I'm talking about on the Republican side that it's all over but the shouting.
Particularly if Trump wins Florida and Ohio, the drumbeat's going to be that it's but it isn't going to be over.
There are still a lot of states yet to come.
There's still a lot of voting yet to be done.
And it will not be over after tomorrow.
And that's going to be something I think the cruise people are going to be fighting regardless of what happens in Ohio.
Whether Kasich wins it or not, the idea that the whole thing is over.
In fact, here's the way if if Trump does pull Ohio out and wins Florida as well, they're really the Trump people are going to be leading the charge and it's over.
That's it.
It might be better, they'll say, maybe just get out.
Let's unify now.
Let's start the long process of unifying.
Cruz will not get out.
Because it's in in Cruz's best interest for Trump to win Florida and Ohio.
It's in every it's in Cruz's best interest for Kasich to lose and to have no reason to stay in.
If Kasich wins Ohio, there's a reason to stay in.
Well, there really isn't, other than to take it all the way out to a contested convention, where in Kasich's mind, he could be the chosen one.
If the Republican convention doesn't want either Trump or Cruz.
And all of that hinges on nobody getting to 1,27.
So Kasich is the thrust of Trump's campaign is that Kasich voted for NAFTA very much to support it.
Trade deals have become almost item number one in uh Trump appearances.
It's it's actually kind of interesting.
I mean, to watch all this shake out, um and you you you follow Trump's appearances and look at his talking points from state to state to state.
They don't vary much.
But these trade deals are right at the top.
And they get lion's share of the reaction from Trump's crowds.
So the Republican establishment, the entire Washington establishment is, I think, facing an awakening.
I don't think they realized just how deeply rooted and widely believed these trade deals have destroyed the American middle class R. I think they thought there was a usual anti-NAFTA crowd out there.
They're thought of as a bunch of conspiracy kooks, and but they've never been considered to be a significant number of both Republican and Democrat voters, and apparently that's not the case.
There's a significant number of people supporting Trump.
You can even make the case, I think, that Trump and Crazy Bernie, their crowds really are one thing more powerfully than they are either in support of Bernie or Trump, and that is their anti-establishment.
I think it's huge.
I think the number of Americans livid with Washington for years, folks, not just the last four, five, seven, eight, ten, I think for decades.
I think tracing all the way back to the 90s, I think there's an increasing number, because if you look at the middle class, it has not gotten better.
It hasn't gotten better economically, wages have not uh increased significantly.
Uh I've been through this drill before.
You can see what happens, what has happened to college education, the ones, the one way out, the one supposedly as close to a guarantee as anything can be, step up.
The ladder of success has become a weight or a shackle because of the debt you incur in getting one.
So even that, and who runs the colleges and who runs the banks and who runs the loan programs and who sets the tuition, it's the establishment guys.
And many in the middle class think that there's been an active, not conspiracy, I don't it it probably has been one, but the word can connote some things I don't intend it to, but there has been an active effort uh by by people they believe to keep them from being able to improve themselves economically in their lives, and they've just had it because they see all kinds of wealth.
They see all kinds of, I mean, they don't understand every hedge fund guy's a multi-billionaire.
How does that work?
They don't understand it, they think it's got it doesn't make any sense to them.
How does that work?
Why is a hedge fund guy automatically a billionaire?
Why not just why do hedge funds guys make 12 billion, 10 billion, two billion, and not 500,000?
Where's all this money coming from?
The banks get bailed out when the banks screw up their own businesses.
They don't get bailed out.
So I think the anger's deep and it's sustained and it's being tapped into uh expertly by Trump.
But it does not apparently represent a majority of Republican primary voters.
It's just the most energized and the and the most animated.
The cruise people also have something else to be concerned about.
I would think I could be all wet on this.
If the race pitdles itself down and we've got the two-man race, Trump and Cruz.
I think the Cruz campaign's a little concerned that endorsements for them by some in the establishment could hurt them with their voters.
For example, if you're a what do you think, Miss Snerdley?
Let's say you're an all-in cruise voter, and Kasich ends up not continuing after tomorrow, and let's get down to a two-man race.
It's basically Trump and Cruz.
And here comes, say, Lindsey Graham endorsing Cruz.
I mean, he's an establishment guy.
Cruise people go, oh no, that's not, we don't, we oh no, please wait.
We we don't need it right now.
Then let's say uh take it pick A name, any any establishment elected Republican name that's considered to be it never Mitch McConnell would never do it.
But imagine if he did.
I mean, the cruise people have to be worried that that could taint their own voters.
So this is going to be a big week for the cruise campaign to get through, because there's going to be all kinds of misinformation about it.
And the leading bit of misinformation is going to be that whatever happens tomorrow, Wednesday, the news is going to be that it's for all intents and purposes over.
And the Cruz campaign is not going anywhere, and they're not quitting, and they're no, they do not think it's over, and in fact they have a pathway to victory.
One of two ways.
And Kasich is the wild card, depending on what happens in Ohio.
And Trump is going to do whatever he can to win there.
As I say, canceling an appearance in Florida tonight, rescheduling it for one in Youngstown, where he's going to hammer Kasich.
I think...
I think Trump could put himself over the top if we would just use my line.
Just say that he's got a job for Casey, Postmaster General, and everybody will be happy.
Hi, welcome back.
It's great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
I want to give you an overview of some of the things that I want to get into today.
Obviously, the violence that happened on Friday and it resulted in Trump canceling an appearance in Chicago.
Folks, let me ask you a question about that very quickly.
We're in the primary season.
Why are these anarchists and Democrats and leftists, why are they protesting Trump now?
Now and make no mistake, this is all on the Democrats.
I think it's I think it's unfortunate there are people trying to blame Trump for this.
This is never traditionally never been a Republican problem.
Republican protests don't happen.
To your chagrin.
How many of you have called me over the years wishing you would see some?
You're tired of the Democrats getting away with the protest march.
You're tired of the Democrats exclusively being able to shut down events.
And make no mistake, this was Black Lives Matter.
This was move on.org.
This was a rent a mob.
This Rob had been bought and paid for.
They were there for the express purpose to shut down the Trump appearance, and they were celebrating after they succeeded in doing so.
The event had not even started.
There wasn't a Trump supporter that did a thing to any of these people.
They showed up.
This is all bought and paid for by the Democrat Party and its donors, George Soros, Moveon.org.
The list is long.
Same bunch of people that were in Ferguson, Missouri, same bunch of people that were in Baltimore, the same bunch of people that have been in Berkeley, the same bunch of people that rioted when Rodney King and the OJ trial, it's the same crowd, different names of the organizations, the same people.
It's all leftists.
It is all intolerant leftists.
And in fact, rap audio soundbite number four.
Saturday, Democrat National Committee fundraising event in Dallas, President Obama.
And what's been happening in our politics lately, it's not an accident.
For years we've been told we should be angry about America.
And that the economy is a disaster.
And that we're weak.
And that compromise is weakness.
And that you can ignore science and you can ignore facts and say whatever you want about the president and feed suspicion about immigrants and Muslims and poor people and people who aren't like us.
Sorry, Mr. President, that's not going to work here.
Making it look like you're an innocent bystander here while all this raucous protesting is going on, brought about by the unfair treatment of you.
Let's go back, September 17th, 2008, in Elco, Nevada, during a campaign event, Senator Barack Obama running for president.
I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors.
I want you to talk to them, whether they're independent or whether they are Republican.
I want you to argue with them and get in their face.
Get in their Face and Obama's protesters have been in our face since he encouraged it back in 2008.
But who was it in 1968?
It was a bunch of leftists and anti-war protesters then who were protesting the Democrat National Convention in Chicago of all places.
The left owns this.
Do you remember Obama?
Here's a political story from June 14th of 2008.
Senator Obama.
It's a political story, and Obama was in Philadelphia, and he said, if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun, because from what I understand, folks in Philadelphia like a good brawl.
I've seen Eagles fans.
And I couldn't believe it that McCain and the Republican National Committee actually pounced on that line and used it to illustrate what Obama was doing.
So this idea that Trump's responsible for this.
It just isn't the case.
Folks, do not lose sight of who does this.
So it's Obama.
Get in their face.
They bring a knife.
You bring a gun.
Get in their face.
I want you to argue with them.
It's barat.
Look, folks, and Donald Trump supporters are not leaving Trump events and going to Hillary events or going to Bernie Sanders events and beating people upside the head.
Trump supporters are minding their own business.
Now look, don't misunderstand me on this, but I'm telling you, this is crucial.
This is why I have been so helbent over the years that people understand the left, that people get an ideological education and they understand what we're dealing with here.
Because disruptive, intolerant, violent public protest is wholly owned by the Democrat Party.
It's an entire subsidiary of the American left and the Democrat Party.
They own it.
It's part of their operational blueprint.
They are there to shut people down.
They are there to deny people their presence on the field.
You know, we talk about a level play field.
They don't want a level playing field, they don't want the opponent on the field.
Their objective is to shut down.
It's happening on college campus, it's happening everywhere in America.
They're intolerant.
They do not want to hear anything they disagree with.
There is no First Amendment.
There is no open exchange of ideas.
There's nothing but authoritarian shut them down ism.
And it's not the Trump people that are doing it.
But Rush, put Rush, I saw that Trump guy hit that guy at the Trump.
Yeah.
Who started it?
Who shows up with the express purpose of disrupting the event?
Bernie Sanders supporters.
Bernie Sanders supporters, whether they're from the Bernie campaign or not, Hillary supporters, Democrats are infiltrating, trying to get in there.
This clown that nearly got to the stage at the event in Dayton on Saturday did a little investigative.
Find out who this clown is, this 22-year-old guy named Tommy DeMassimo.
He is a leftist through and through.
The guys at John Hendrocker at Power Line did a great bit of investigation into this guy, as have a number of others.
Now, if you read about this guy on the left, he's written about with great praise and courage.
But the fact of the matter is he is a committed leftist from a deeply liberal Democrat, radical leftist family in Georgia.
And he went there to shut Trump up.
And the idea that Trump is encouraging this.
Some people want to say that when protesters show up at Trump's event that Trump's encouraging his supporters to be violent against them, remember what's happening here.
Look, I have no defense that's not the point here.
This wouldn't be happening if these people were not infiltrating and getting into Trump events.
It's these people who are starting the misbehavior.
And I'm I'm going to tell you something else.
You may not like hearing it, but there are all kinds of reasons why Trump is getting the support he's getting.
And this is one of them.
I'm here to tell you that a bunch of Republican voters, and I don't care whatever else they are.
They're evangelicals, they're men, they're women, they're old, young, whatever.
There is a there's a huge number of Republicans for my entire life, who have been slowly simmering that there's never any pushback on this kind of stuff.
That there's never any opposition to the left and its radicals destroying events, shutting events down, committing violence, blowing up buildings or what have you.
Donald Trump is the first Republican candidate in my lifetime, who, in the middle of one of these things, openly says, get them out of here, instead of trying to engage them fairly and have a discussion with them or talk about how wonderful the First Amendment is or the right to dissent.
The American, it's a one-way street here.
The left has, just like everything else they do, they have gotten away with being able to shut down, to destroy, and then with their allies in the press mischaracterize what goes on at these Republican events.
For years, not just this campaign, but for years.
Code Pink, I don't care who we're talking about here.
Since Cindy Sheehan, I can't to the Iraq war, the number of people that were getting into Senate hearings, how'd they get in there?
Had to be given invitations from Democrat senators to get into those things.
And there has been a growth.
Some people that don't support Trump are happy to see the way he deals with this at his rallies.
Get them out of here.
Get them out of here.
People are there to hear Trump.
They're not there to hear a debate.
They're not there to see Trump engage these people, and that's not what these people want.
These people are trying to shut down not just Trump, but any other Republican that they become frightened of.
Take you back to my question.
Why in the world are they protesting Trump now?
We're still in the primaries.
Why now?
I'm leaving that open.
There may be some obvious answers.
But here's what happened in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday.
Trump was uh speaking in an airplane hangar there at the uh the Dayton Airport.
And all of a sudden, you're watching it and you see Trump give a startled look.
His mouth flies open, he looks behind him and looks down.
But you don't see that till you review it.
Really, what you see is these four or five Secret Service agents storming the stage.
Trump looking behind him, and you know, my God, what happened?
What happened?
What happened?
Then in replays, either in slower more, whatever you see, if you get the right angle, you see the guy jumping the fence and making his move on the stage, and what he says he wanted to do was just stop Trump and get up there and call Trump a racist.
He wanted to take Trump's microphone away from him, call Trump a racist.
But he wanted to uh shut down the event.
Now, who is the guy?
Tommy DeMassimo.
Now, Trump originally suggested the guy could be an ISIS sympathizer, but the reason he thought that is because there was some hoax thing on Twitter or Facebook, I forget which win, uh, which one that had this guy portrayed as an ISIS member, but it was it was somebody hoaxed it.
It was not genuine.
But the guy was photographed standing on top of and stomping on an American flag.
Who he is is this a fourth-year acting major at Wright University.
A four-year acting, so he's just biding his time.
He's just in school because it's someplace to be.
His age is reported as anywhere from 22 to 32.
He's from Georgia.
His father's a screw-o-teacher.
His mother is a deeply involved, committed, radical leftist in their town in Georgia to come from Cobb County.
On his Facebook page, Tommy DeMassimo claims, proclaims his hate for America.
Makes no bones about it.
He's a Bernie Sanders supporter.
The media will no doubt treat this as irrelevant.
The media, in fact, in many places is praising this guy as a young example of dissent.
This is the kind of greatness, this is the kind of thing we had when we formed and founded our country.
This is the kind of tracebacks to history that lead to our greatness and so forth.
This guy's nothing of the sort.
This guy's a rabble-rousing, America-hating, classical, America-hating leftist.
As such, he's a mainstream Democrat.
He has a little manifesto up on Facebook.
This is a part of it.
Let's get rid of unions.
Let's get rid of economic regulation.
Let's allow every act of religious freedom to get passed.
Let's never hold police accountable because their jobs are so hard.
to spend trillions in the military industrial complex.
Let's never address our ecological crisis.
Let's just give them everything they want.
I want them to see what the world they want truly looks like.
This is his way.
You know, we have people on our saying, let Clinton win so we find out what a rotten guy he is and the bad the Democrats are, what the country will become.
That's his thinking.
That's he believes actually the opposite of all of that.
The gay, I don't know.
I I can't tell if somebody I until you asked me, I had no idea if he's got no idea.
Um, that's who the guy is, and there's nothing virtuous about him.
There's nothing that you can trace back in the form of greatness to the American founding.
He's just your average Bernie Sanders supporting anarchist, crazed radical leftist.
And that's who it is that does all of this.
I know a lot of people are very angry at Trump for a whole host of reasons, and they they want to try to make the case that Trump is equally responsible because of what he says during these protests at his rallies.
I'm gonna tell you, you may say two wrongs don't make a right, fine and dandy, but don't forget where this stuff starts.
It all starts with the Democrat Party.
It all starts with leftist radicals.
Barack Obama actively as a candidate encouraged taking a gun to a knife fight, getting in people's faces and arguing with them, and his people did it.
How many Tea Party rallies did union people show up and actually engage in violence?
There wasn't any hand winging over it.
The drive-by is pretty much ignored it.
But the thing that you have to remember is Trump's supporters are not infiltrating Sanders rallies or Hillary rallies.
If they went to a Hillary rally, they'd be the only ones there.
Now you may say that Trump supporters are engaging in violence and people, yeah, but they're minding their own business until these people come up and start beating up on them or harassing them or shoving them.
And trying to disrupt the Trump event.
It's a one-way street here.
Now we can argue whether the way Trump deals with it is wise or not.
But Trump is not at the root of this.
And there are a lot of people that are trying to, you know, get rid of Trump, defeat Trump.
Think this would be the way to do it.
It may be.
I don't know, but he's not responsible for this.
His rally hadn't even started on Friday night in Chicago.
There hadn't been a thing take place.
Trump canceled it in advance for whatever reason.
He says he canceled it for safety and security reasons.
He says he talked to the cops.
The local cops said no, he never talked to us.
So there's some disagreement about that, but Trump apparently unilaterally canceled the event for whatever reason.
It didn't happen.
And still, in celebration, the protesters poured out into the streets.
It looked like Chicago 1968 all over again, minus the fires.
Even after they got what they want, they're out there bragging, shaking hands, applauding.
We shut Trump down, we shut Trump down.
They're still out there raising hell.
Don't forget who they are.
And also, I got in furtherance of this.
I have a couple of sound bites I want to play for you from CNN when we get back.
Don't go away.
Now let me tell you how this manifests itself, folks.
I'm holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained finger.
A somebody actually sent me a picture of uh black and white picture of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
It's a picture of Trump standing at a rally in St. Louis.
He was there on Saturday.
Can I read you the caption of this picture?
Donald Trump addresses a campaign rally in St. Louis.
He was scheduled to go to Chicago for a rally, but canceled it as his supporters became violent.
Now, see.
This is my whole point.
His supporters never well, his supporters were there In anticipation of him showing up.
They started to show up.
But it was not Trump supporters that got angry.
They didn't get violent.
They weren't protesting anything.
They were invaded by a bunch of leftist Bernie.
Look at I'll tell you this is it's Black Lives Matter, which used to be Occupy Wall Street, which used to be some anarchists.
It's the same bunch of people.
They're out there protesting global warming.
They're protesting for feminization.
It's the same bunch of people.
Many of them are rented.
Many of them have to be purchased to show up.
But I wonder how many other leftist rags a story similar to this caption ran.
He was scheduled to go to Chicago for a rally, but canceled it as his supporters became violent.
His supporters have never been violent.
His supporters have never started violence.
His supporters have never been to a Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders rally.
That is not what Republicans do.
Anyway, this is my this is why I have been so insistent over the years that people understand the difference between liberalism and conservatism.
Now, audio sound bites.
Up first, CNN's newsroom.
This was uh Saturday night.
Poppy Harlow, the anchor babe, is talking with Republican Party Chairman from Ohio, Matt Borges, about the primary race.
And she says, What about those who argue where was Kasich?
Where were the other members of the GOP establishment in the past few years?
As some in the party attacked the president Obama with false claims, talking about where he was born, all of that.
Where have these people been?
All those things that you brought up were actually created by the Democrats, were created by Hillary Clinton in 2008.
And um some of the wild things that Donald Trump says we just don't think our representative of our party.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean when you say those were created by Hillary Clinton?
I mean those.
I mean I mean the birther movement.
I mean, I mean the birther movement.
I mean the the notion that someone's Barack Obama was a secret Muslim.
Those things came out of the You're saying Hillary Clinton is a big thing.
Those things came out of the 2008 very ugly Democratic primary that went on on their side that lasted until June.
Matt Borges is right.
The birther movement, the Obama is not an American.
The Obama was born in Kenya movement was started by the Hillary campaign in 2008.
And she didn't know it.
Did you hear the shock in her voice?
Here, there's one more bite.
As she continues to react to this.
Can you clarify for me how you're pointing to Hillary Clinton for starting the birther movement against the current president?
It gets well documented that that was in fact where this all came from, the 2008 primary that the Clinton campaign started these rumors about Barack Obama, and they were still able to come together as a family for the Democratic Party.
Our party will heal.
And on Tuesday, when John Kasich wins the Ohio primary, uh, we'll start to set this uh election on a much different course.
All right, Hillary Clinton, just we're gonna move on, but Hillary Clinton never asked for the president's, you know, then Senator Barack Obama's birth certificate.
Donald Trump led a lot of it, and a lot of people are, and and Matt Romney wanted Donald Trump's endorsement and got it at the time, and he was a leading candidate on your side.
Now, this is classic.
Poppy Harlow, I don't know her.
I mean, I know who she is when I watch her on TV, but I can tell you she doesn't know anything beyond what she and her friends in her bubble of liberal journalists and liberal newsmakers talk about.
In their world, Donald Trump is the original birther.
In their world, Donald Trump embarrassed himself, embarrassed the country by demanding Obama's birth certificate.
She finds out for the first time.
Here we 2016, she just learned Saturday night that the whole movement was started by Hillary Clinton.
She can't believe it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
What?
No, my point is the Democrats start this stuff, folks.
It's the Democrats that get your in-your-face stuff moving.
It's the Democrats who encourage this kind of disrespect and violence.
The Republicans didn't start this.
The Republicans were too scared to mention anything about Obama.
Much of the Republicans are never picked up on this.
Not the established Republicans running for office.
So it's clear, while she is stymied and stuck here, she can't believe what she's heard.
Somebody's telling her in her ear what to say.
And it is, okay, well, we're gonna move on.
But just so you know, Hillary never asked for the president's birth certificate.
That was Trump.
That was Trump.
She was clueless, and I guarantee that segment was over.
She said, What the hell was that?
This guy blaming.
They have no clue.
And it happened right in front of their eyes in the 2008 campaign in the Democrat primary.
And it never even registered.
Because Hillary Clinton can't do any evil.
Hillary Clinton can't be mean.
She's a Democrat.
Might go to the phones a little early in the next hour.
I've got a great lineup here, great roster of people waiting to weigh in, some people who have actually been at Trump rallies and others.
So uh sit tight, my friends.
