Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And here we are, ladies and gentlemen.
We have arrived at the end of yet another busy broadcast week.
And you are right where you not only need to be, you are right where you want to be.
Rush Limbaugh program on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, sir, revop, folks, open line Friday.
Just a reminder for those of you new to the program.
What differentiates Open Line Friday from the other days of the busy broadcast week is the other busy days of the busy broadcast week.
We screen calls tightly.
They have to be about something I'm interested in.
Otherwise, we don't take the call.
Because I don't want to sit here and be bored.
Nobody wants that.
But on Friday, I run the risk of being bored because whatever people want to call and talk about's fine and dandy.
It oftentimes ends up sounding like any other day of the week, but it doesn't have to.
Here's the number, 800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program at the email address Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
This has been a really busy, busy week.
I'm sitting here, I am I am worn out.
I I have to I just tell you, I you know, I feel like Fridays when I was doing the TV show.
We'd have two TV show tapings on Thursday and radio show, the TV show every day, and when Friday came, I was just, I was wrung out.
And it's been one of those kinds of week here, weeks here.
So but that I'm not making any excuses, folks.
I'm just uh sharing, as you wish.
Or as you will.
Okay, so what's what's the big news out there today?
Well, I guess I guess it depends on your perspective.
Um we have the contre ton between Ted Cruz and the Trumpster.
Uh to put all this in context, bring it into focus.
The uh the Trumpster got mad at something Cruz did, and uh well, Cruz didn't do it.
There was a a pack published a phone of the wife of the Trumpster, Melania, from 15 years ago in GQ, when back to her modeling days, and it was uh kind of risque.
She wasn't wearing much, if anything.
Well, this offended the Trumpster.
And so the Trumpster warned Cruz to be careful or he would spill the beans on Cruz's wife Heidi.
Everybody said, What are the beans?
What what what what what's there to spill about Heidi Cruz?
And it turns out there was something it would not have amounted to much of anything, but it was something from 15 years ago.
But it never came out, it never really mattered much because the Trumpster fired back with a tweet of his own.
Side-by-side photos of Heidi Cruz looking like she was mad at somebody, her mouth is wide open, she's screaming at something.
Right next to a picture of the Trumpster's wife, Melania, looking like she looks.
And the Trumpster says, no need to spill the beans.
The picture says it all.
And I have to tell you, and Mr. Schnerdley confirmed this with me today for the first time.
A number of women, and the Meghan Kelly stuff didn't evoke much of a reaction from women.
The insults of some of the other women that Trump like Carly Fiorina and her face.
No big deal.
But this one, for some reason, has resonated with a lot of women.
And Trump has a gender gap already.
Details coming up.
Don't know how serious it is, but it's said to be a serious gender gap.
Serious problem with women even before this.
And this side-by-side picture, Heidi Cruz.
Next to Melania with with the tweet, no need to spill the beans, picture says a thousand words.
For some reason.
All that other stuff about women didn't raise a hackle.
But this one has.
Has it with you?
And I have to tell you, I'm I'm curious about it.
I mean, let's review this.
She had blood coming out of, well, everywhere.
I don't know.
Hey, you know what?
No big deal.
It's funny, Hardy Har.
She kind of deserved it because the way she treated Trump's, I mean, this is the reaction people got.
Then Carly Fiorina.
Who would want to elect somebody with a face like that?
Trump said.
No big deal.
What is it about this?
Is it that there's a picture?
Is it is that what it is?
Because the you haven't you have to admit here, folks, that some of the things, and I've got my objectivity cap on here.
I'm just, I'm just reviewing all this.
Some of the things that Trump has said about women prior to this Heidi Cruz thing.
I mean, do they not measure up?
Are they not just as egregious?
Are they not just as over the line?
But they didn't seem to be harmful.
Women didn't seem to be particularly upset over any of that.
Not like this.
This is in its own league.
And then, I don't know if I got the time line exactly right, but somewhere in the midst of all this, a very hot rumor starts percolating out there across the internet in Twitter and Facebook.
What?
What now?
That Cruz has been uh catting around out there with five different mistresses.
It turns out the National Inquirer is the source for this.
There isn't any story yet.
It's just scuttlebutt out there.
That the inquirer has the data, has the information sitting on it.
Everybody say, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Ted Cruz?
Five mistresses?
Ted Cruz.
People can't imagine Ted Cruz ever taking his clothes off, even to go to bed.
Am I right?
Five.
And then we find out that it's not being given a lot of credence out there on the internet because it just sounds so incredulous.
And if the inquirer has this news now, where was it a month ago?
Where was it two months ago?
Why now?
And then, uh, ladies and gentlemen, New York magazine.
Trump's alliance with the National Inquirer is the headline of the story.
Oh, and now this is really getting good.
It's an October 2015 article from last year.
Just last October last year.
Trump and Inquirer CEO David Pecker.
Is that not a great name for the guy that runs the National Inquirer, by the way?
Trump and Inquirer CEO David Pecker.
That's P E C K E R, David Pecker.
Have been friends for years.
A source close to the inquirer said, yeah, they're very close.
In July of 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent Time Warner.
Trump back then said he'd make it exciting.
Picker would pick her would make Time magazine exciting and would win awards.
So of all the things that have happened in this campaign, of all the things that people thought they would never ever see in a presidential campaign, of all the things people thought they'd never hear in a presidential campaign.
A lot of them go by.
Ho hum reaction.
This thing comes along, the side-by-side picture of Heidi Cruz and Melania Trump, no need to spill a beans.
Picture says it all, says it that whatever, worth a thousand words.
And for the first time that I'm aware of, women.
Now, by the way, let me acknowledge.
I know that there are a lot of you ladies and women in the audience who are pro-cruz, and this is not the first time that you have been offended by Trump.
It's not the first time you've said so.
I I we're talking about people who heretofore we know who have looked the other way or been unmoved, uh didn't seem to care.
Well, however, you want to categorize it or describe, but this one has seemed to result to create universal reaction of less than a favorable nature.
So we don't know where this is uh where this is headed.
Of course, Cruz has uh for the second time now, he has responded in defiant defense of his wife.
Remember the first time we played the audio soundbite of him defending Heidi the first time, and we had a soundbite of Carol Costello on CNN laughing about it derisively.
Got to defend the little woman.
And I'm sitting here thinking she's a product of the modern feminist era.
She's a liberal media member.
What is what what is what is so worthy of mocking a man defending his wife?
Is that not even supposed to happen?
Are women so equal?
Are women so on their own that when they are offended, when they are impugned, when they are unfairly critic, their husbands are not supposed to say anything, and if their husbands do, we want to laugh at it and make fun of it.
It's another thing I need to have explained to me.
You know, when is it okay to defend your wife?
When is it not?
When will liberals appreciate you defending your wife, and when will they make fun of you for doing it?
And under what circumstances?
And does it matter who you are when you defend your wife?
But regardless, there she was, snickering at it, laughing at Cruz, mocking him for defending the little woman.
Well, she's a working woman.
She's exactly Heidi Cruz is exactly what the modern ear of feminizes suggested all women should do.
Heidi Cruz tried to do it all.
Heidi Cruz believed you could do it all, and she set out to do it all, and she did.
And she found out as she was doing it all that it was more than she wanted to do.
But Heidi Cruz has accomplished a heck of a lot more than 95% of the women in the media reporting on her and making fun of her and mocking her.
It is just classic, it's constant drive-by media people making fun of, laughing at gallantry, laughing at chivalry, laughing at valor.
Then you have Bill and Hillary, with Bill doing what he was doing, and Hillary blaming on a right-wing conspiracy and so forth, and there was no condemnation of what Bill Clinton did.
There was no condemnation of the way Hillary reacted to any of it, and Hillary was responsible for it.
Hillary was involved in all of the bimbo eruption stuff.
But I know, I know it's they're liberals.
They're Democrats.
Therefore, they're protected.
I get that.
I just, you know, look at this stuff that's happening.
So much of it is inexplicable to me, given how previous similar examples have barely gotten any kind of reaction whatsoever.
On the political side, uh the Republican establishment is all of a sudden starting to feel its oats out there.
Have you noticed this?
I have a I have a political story here, which uh basically Republican establishment to Trump, if you, you know, no majority, no nomination.
If you don't get 1237, Bud, you're done.
If you don't get 1237, you're out of here.
That's what political and a story of supposed Republican establishment guys sending that message to Cruz.
You have Scott Walker, an early presidential Candidate from Wisconsin.
He's the governor.
And he has said that he thinks there's going to be an open Republican convention.
And furthermore, he thinks a contested or open Republican convention would nominate someone not currently running.
Any possibility he's thinking of himself here when he says this could well be.
We also have a bunch of Republican establishment types who continue to express their frustration that Trump continues to triumph.
One of them is quoted in one of these stories.
You know, I thought Trump would, I thought it'd be out by Labor Day.
And then he didn't have it.
I thought he'd be out by Thanksgiving.
I thought Trump would be out by Halloween.
I thought he'd be out by Thanksgiving.
I thought Trump would be finished and done with by Christmas.
I'm running out of holidays.
So they're getting, they're flexing their muscles on the establishment side here.
They're feeling confident that Trump's not going to get to 1237.
Some things happen in Louisiana that end up Ted Cruz controlling Louisiana, getting some delegates there, despite the fact that Trump won.
And I told you, I told you earlier this week, we had it in a New York Times story.
A 100-day plan to deny Trump the nomination starts April 5th in Wisconsin.
That's where the establishment plan to take all this away from Trump actually begins.
And lo and behold, we've got polling data out of Wisconsin that shows Cruz is essentially tied with Trump there.
And people weren't expecting that.
So we've got a lot of things to fill in today.
It's also open line Friday, which means your phone calls get added to the mix.
And our president, Barack Hussein Oh, in what should surprise nobody said that there actually is very little difference between communism and capitalism.
Just choose what works, he said.
It was a town hall event in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
And he was talking to young Latin American leaders, a young Latin American leaders initiative.
And he said, there's not much difference in capitalism and communism.
Just, you know, pick whatever works.
You know, pick one from column A, one from Column B, mix them, combine them, do whatever works.
That's what I do.
No, that's not what Obama does.
Obama blocks what works, folks.
Obama gets in the way of what works and implements what doesn't work, such as Obamacare by design.
Anyway, that's a brief setting of the table.
Hang in there, we'll be right back and continue.
I just got another email.
They've been coming in all morning long.
And look, I know it's all anecdotal, folks.
Don't, don't, don't uh I'm I'm not one of these people that tries to tell you what the country's doing based on what my email tells me or even callers to the program.
But I'm just telling you that there's been an inordinate volume of this today.
Another guy says, my mother was all in for Trump until this.
Until this Heidi Cruz thing.
It's still, yeah, I have to tell you, um, the Heidi Cruz thing is what it is.
But some of the stuff that came before it's not not being bag.
I mean, there's been really you you you you think I'm just confused, that's all.
I'm not always that it you can get away with criticizing certain women because they are unlikable, dislikable, so if they're unlikable in the first place, and Trump happens to hit them fine and dandy.
But Heidi Cruz is not dislikable or unlikable, and therefore it's over the piss.
Now, what it is, okay.
No, I'm not arguing.
I'm trying to understand.
I'm the last guy who claims to understand how some people think.
And I will take all the information I can get on this.
But this seems to have hit a nerve where others have not.
Uh but Heidi Cruz particularly, I mean, again, I think this is this bears repeating.
I will never get over Carol Costello mocking her, mocking Ted Cruz for defending him.
What if it were you, Carol?
I don't even know if you have a husband, and I don't even know if he's manly enough to defend you if you ever came under assault, but would you laugh at him if he did?
Would you make fun of your own husband if he defended you when somebody came after you?
I don't know if you're saying here's Heidi Cruz, who has has she is uh a role model for what the modern era of fem take the ideology out of feminism.
She said she obviously thought she could have it all.
Motherhood, career, I mean stellar career.
Top of the ladder career.
Marriage, motherhood, the whole ball of wax.
They laugh at her.
And meanwhile, women who haven't done ten percent of what she's done, you can't talk about.
You're not allowed to categorize or whatever.
It's uh it's a it's a dichotomy.
Fascinates me.
We've got more.
Stay with us.
Okay, so we got a full roster of calls, and I had chosen the first one I wanted to take.
It's all snurely tell a guy, get ready or we're coming to it and he hung up.
So I'm gonna tell you what the guy was gonna say.
Uh now I didn't talk to him, so I didn't I'm just going off what Sturdley's summary of his comment was.
Where was he from?
Was he West Virginia?
Did is that is that where that not that it matters, I just want you to know.
Uh the guy was gonna point out, you know, okay, fine.
Understand that this Heidi Cruz and Millennia Melania Trump thing doesn't look good for Trump, but you gotta understand something the guy was gonna say.
Trump doesn't have a pack.
All these other guys have packs, which means they've got an out.
They've got an excuse.
They've got a mechanism whereby they can say, I didn't do it, I don't know what was going on.
But Trump, he's a real man.
Trump doesn't have a pack.
So Trump doesn't shift blame to anybody else.
When something goes wrong, Trump takes the blame himself like a real man.
And that was going to be the guy's point.
Well, is this basically the same thing?
Okay, we've got somebody who wants to make that point.
I guess Las Vegas here.
This is Wendy.
Wendy, glad you called.
You're up first open line Friday.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I'm so happy to talk to you and keep doing what you're doing.
You're the most objective host out there.
Thank you very much for it.
Um I have a bit of a problem with Mr. Cruz.
You know, he d he didn't put out the ad in Utah that, you know, Liz Mayer and them of uh Melania.
He was more than happy to take all the votes that it got him in Utah, and I never once heard him denounce, you know, or defend Mrs. Trump.
But yet, you know, he reaps the benefits, but he doesn't take any of the blame, and he never has to.
He can always afford to take the high road because he's got all his attack dogs out there doing the work for him.
You got Glenn Beck three hours a day bashing Trump, and he's made uh made made hay out of Mrs. Trump's modeling career.
Um it the his supporters, the same thing.
It's been this these photographs of Mrs. Trump have been out there.
Okay, so let me let me let me see if I understand what you're saying.
The Ted Cruz APAC for Ted Cruz puts up the photo of Melania Trump practically nude that offends Donald, causes him to react.
Trump can then or Cruz can say, wait a minute, I got my pack did that.
I did nothing to do with that.
We're not allowed by law to be in contact with the pack.
I had nothing to do with it.
But your your point is the pack still did it, and Trump sorry, Cruz gets to benefit from it.
Yes.
And and with a built-in excuse to keep his reputation up, saying, I didn't do it.
I had nothing to do with it.
Uh he could probably I would not have approved it had I known it was gonna win.
Meanwhile, Trump does not have one of those.
Trump doesn't have a PAC, so everything Trump does, he faces squarely, it's on his shoulders and he makes no excuses.
He's a real man, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Um and and uh Cruz, I wouldn't debate him either.
I mean, look look at his background.
Look what he's done his whole life.
And I even had a a body language expert confirm this for me, because there was always something that I just didn't like about Cruz.
And wait, wait, wait a minute.
Hold on, no no.
You you you said you wouldn't date you wouldn't debate Cruz either.
No, I would not.
What because he's so good at it.
Yes, and no matter it doesn't matter ever if everything he says is true or not, but he if I I knit, right?
I knit and I cook.
And he could debate me on blueberry pie and put me away.
Right.
I'd be at such a disadvantage.
Okay.
So Trump is wise to avoid that confrontation because there's nobody better than Cruz at it, isn't it?
Yes.
And that doesn't mean that Cruz is right about everything.
And it doesn't mean he's more qualified than Trump because a real man because Trump doesn't have a pack.
Right.
Now, uh let me ask you this.
For forget the pack angle and all of that.
What do you think of the tweet with the photo that Trump posted?
The side-by-side photo of Heidi Cruz and Melania.
Um I I didn't like it necessarily, but I look at it as defending his wife.
And you know, he's he's mad about it.
I would be too.
But of course, you know, Ted, he quotes movie lines.
But Ted had nothing to do with it by your own admission, just like Trump says he's not responsible about it.
Now wait a second.
Just like Trump says he's not responsible for what anybody in his audience does vis a vis beaten up on these protesters.
You can't hold him responsible.
You just said you can't hold Cruz responses, PAC did it.
Well there they Trump gets vilified every day.
Right.
In other words, he you he has to take responsibility for what your supporters do, and they do what you tell 'em, and somehow Cruz gets to walk away.
Okay, let me ask you this.
I know you're a Trump supporter.
I'm asking these questions so that I can learn.
I'm putting this, you know, just in in the hopper here to learn, do not infer a tone of criticism or anything else.
Oh no.
When Trump uh said what he said about about Megan Kelly, either any of those things or all of them combined.
Why do you think those comments did not really cause Trump a problem compared to this instance with the photo of Heidi Cruz in Melania, which obviously has.
This this this is this is different.
I mean, there's some there's some Trump people that have problems with this.
Why didn't they have problems with any of the other th stuff that had happened with Trump and Megan Kelly, for example?
Well, Megan Kelly started it right off.
I mean, she did not give context to that Rosie O'Donnell um, you know, incident, you know, the show that led up to Trump saying what he said.
She immediately well, he insults women at pigs, and I didn't see it that way at all.
Right, but she's also in the arena, right?
I mean, she you say she started it, which means she's in the arena.
She got the ballroom, she insulted Trump.
And so when that happens, then anything that comes back at her, fair game, is that right?
Yes.
Okay.
Now I don't want to put words in your mouth.
Is that what you think?
Yeah.
Okay.
She was trying to do a gotcha.
And it backfired.
And so, you know, too bad, too sad.
Okay, does this worry you?
You're a Trump supporter.
You've obviously have have seen or are aware that some people are a little bothered by this one.
Are you worried about it?
Well, yeah, and it and it bothers me too on both on both sides.
You know, I I don't I don't like them going either one of them going after the other's wife.
But the the tr the cruise supporters seem to be kind of morally superior.
Yeah, I guess, because this this photograph of Melania Trump has been out for a long time, and I've had people sending it to me on Facebook, oh, did you see this?
Is this who you want to be our first lady?
And this was months ago.
So they have been using this, the tr the cruise supporters have been using this for a long time.
This is not something that just happened last week.
And so then, you know, an anti-Trump group uses it in a camp uh an ad in Utah to get votes, you know, trying to be morally Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand.
Yeah, getting the moral votes.
I'm I just, you know, it's just rubs me the wrong way.
So you don't see the day where maybe for the good of the party and the possibility of actually winning the election that Trump and Cruz could bury the hatchet and form a unity ticket.
Well, I wish that they would, because there'd be no stopping them.
Um but I I see Trump supporters that if Cruz is the nominee, they're gonna vote for him.
But I don't see that coming up.
Now Pat Buchanan.
Pab Buchanan was on TV last night.
I talked to Peb Buchanan for the next issue.
It's out now.
The Limbaughter.
It was fascinating interview.
And he's very excited by what Trump's doing.
Uh it it mirrors much of what Buchanan was trying to do in 1992, 1996.
But Buchanan said that if Trump ends up with the majority delegates, but not enough, not 1237, if they take the nomination away from him, that Trump supporters are leaving.
They will not vote, they'll take their ball and go home.
Uh and he wouldn't blame them.
He said the party had to be better be very careful here.
And I heard this, and I said, Pat, you gotta this is what the party wants.
The party is prepared.
I've got this story here political.
They're talking about how they're ready to vote for Hillary.
These establishment types are ready to vote for Hillary rather than vote Trump.
And if Trump is denied this nomination with a majority of delegates with a plurality of delegates, if he's denied, and if Buchanan's right, and people like you say screw it and walk away, leave the party, don't vote.
That guarantees Hillary.
And I'm telling you, there are some in the establishment that would love for that to happen.
Because in their minds that would save the party.
I'm absolutely voting for the nominee.
You are.
If it's cruz, you'd vote for the nominee.
Oh, yeah.
I would vote for the case.
What if the nominee is Jeb?
I'm just gonna run to what if the nominee is Scott Walker?
What if they what if they pull strings and get Paul Ryan the nomination?
I was originally for Scott Walker.
I started I was originally before he was.
Yes, I am.
Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
I've been listening since 1989.
Appreciate that.
Really do.
I wouldn't miss it.
Wendy, I appreciate it.
I really, really do.
Have to go because I'm out of time, but I I really appreciate your frankness here in answer to the case.
Thank you, Rush.
I love you.
Have a great same here.
We'll be right back, folks.
By the way, there's an important distinction to make on this pack that ran the ad in Utah.
Of the question of Mrs. Trump, Melania Trump.
That was not a pro-cruz pack.
Such things are not possible.
Candidates are not allowed.
No candidates are legally allowed to coordinate with polix political political action committees.
And therefore, pro this, pro that.
What this PAC actually is an anti-Trump PAC.
And this PAC will be running ads anti-Trump that might look like they are uh depending on where they're run, could appear that they are advocating for Cruz.
But this is its important distinction to make out there that this PAC in Utah, that will ran the ad in Utah, is an anti-Trump pack.
Uh he's not only You can't you uh a candidate is not they're shouting, he didn't denounce it, he didn't deny it.
Meaning Cruz.
You can't have any contact.
You can't tell a PAC what to do or not.
You start doing that, and they're gonna the FEC's gonna come at you.
You cannot tell a PAC what to do or not.
That's the first caller's point, the one that hung up.
The first caller hung that hung up was gonna say a PAC is the greatest out a candidate has, because he can't talk about them.
So a PAC can do a candidate's dirty work, and the candidate can't say word one about legally.
If there is any indication there's been coordination, that will get everybody in a lot of trouble.
Lasting trouble in terms of of a uh a campaign.
So coming out and denouncing it, that's even risky.
Because that sends a message to the PAC, hey, the candidate doesn't want you doing that, and you can't.
You can't.
No coordination whatsoever is permitted.
Now, there are a lot of people Like that first caller that hung up.
I'm sure if I'd had a chance to interrogate the guy, I'm sure he is one of many who believe don't lie to us.
Don't try to fool us.
We know that candidates coordinate with the PACS all the time.
You're trying to tell us that the Democrats don't coordinate with their PACs.
Who are you kidding?
I know a lot of people think that's all part of what the establishment is able to pull off.
But it's not allowed.
There's no perception.
You a candidate would be creating a lot of trouble for him or herself to acknowledge the PAC, especially in a in a either approval or disavowing way.
Here's the here's Gail in Birmingham, Alabama.
Hi, Gail, you're next.
It's great to have you.
Well, hello.
Nice talking to you again.
Thank you very much.
Um I've been watching this, listening to this for hours over all the media.
And I'm a little troubled because I, you know, I certainly see the value of Cruz, and I understand if it is correct.
It's an anti-Trump ad.
But Cruz took advantage of it.
I listened to your to your um uh to their last caller, and you know he didn't have to do that.
It seems to be a pattern of Mr. Cruz.
He's he's a lawyer.
Well, wait, wait, wait, hold hold on.
I'm I'm it's my hearing.
I want to make sure I heard you right.
You say he took advantage of it and he didn't have to do what do you mean?
Well, he did take advantage in the same way, you know, he treated dear Dr. Carson.
So it's a pattern with him.
And and you know, I hate to say this.
I'm a lawyer, and I don't want to say unkind things about lawyers.
But they there's a general rule you have to be cautious because they're rather they're rather um I don't want to use the word slippery.
Um but they certainly know how while you use the word slippery.
Well, I use the word that you take advantage of a situation to get on top of a s of another and kind of prevail.
That's sort of the advocacy game.
What is it?
Who got on top of who?
What are you adding to this?
Well, I'm adding to this.
All that Cruz had to do was to immediately call Mr. Trump and say, Mr. Trump, this is absolutely wrong.
I want to stand with you.
I want a press conference.
I want us both to announce that pack.
You have a lovely wife, and that woman is a mother of a ten-year-old child, and I don't condone it.
I want to stand with you and denounce it.
A good man would have done that.
And now what do you think Trump would have done with a call like that?
You know, I don't knowing I just got a call from Lion Ted, who's dead.
He had nothing to do with it.
Does he think I'm a fool?
If I were counseled to Mr. Cruz, then I would have established that he would go instead of doing the foolishness, pointing his finger into a camera and acting like he's defending his wife, he should have gotten on camera and say, I immediately denounce it.
I'm going to call Mr. Trump and say I denounce it.
I stand with him, I praise his wife for her career.
We had nothing to do with it.
He could have done that and he would have saved the day for himself.
But ten points against Mr. Cruz for not doing the right.
I cannot believe that.
You're good.
I have to tell you you it's Cruz's wife that's been maligned, and you're calling and telling us how true Cruz could have prevented it.
Oh, ten points against Cruz.
Oh, absolutely.
Cruz could have pulled this off and looked magnanimous had he called me, I would have given him that advice.
Don't you go down that road with Mr. Trump because Mr. Trump seems to have a habit of trying to one up.
If you do something, he does something more more uh dynamic.
And neither woman was treated properly.
And okay, so how do you hope this ends up?
Well, I'm I really would like to see both of them.
I um I would like someone to have a temperament and maybe have a mediator like Dr. Carson, because those two need to get together because I think the Republican establishment is the one I fear.
I fear as an American, I fear the um what is going on in Washington with the remote.
So you you want to do that.
No, no, no, no, but I'm sorry.
Gail, Gail, I'm I'm I've got to get the last word in only because we're out of time here.
You are so good.
All of this somehow is Cruz's fault.
The ad was run against his wife.
The insults, it's his fault, and now you want somebody who's endorsed Trump to mediate.
Well, I knew this was going to happen.
Now I am hearing from women who have no problem with what Trump did.
So I knew that was going to happen.
It's standard operating procedure.
I was not trying to engender it.
I just know human nature.
I mean, they're rolling in here now.
I mean, I've got it was too a pro-cruz, Ed.
That pack, it said support cruise.
What do you can't get more pro-cruz than that?
They're lying about.
And another one said, hey, these packs are all establishment people.
You better keep that in mind, Mr. Limbaugh, as you talk about all this.
Right on.
Okay, just getting started here.
