Time Text
And we're right back at it.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program.
It's 800-282-2882, the email address.
Elrushbo at EIBnet.com.
Have you seen this photo that this millennial guy took with the hijacker on board that?
You know, ever since the advent of social media, Facebook and Twitter, well, not since the advent, but I guess pretty close to it.
Those of you who have listened regularly are well aware, I hope you remember, of my considered warnings about the potential problems that could erupt from this.
And at the time, what I noticed was that everybody on these social media websites was just dying to be famous, doing anything they could to be noticed.
And I thought I knew why.
I mean, I was able to analyze why people wanted fame.
They see fame presented by entertainment media, for example, and it really looks cool.
What is fame?
If you watch TMZ, if you watch Entertainment Tonight or any of these other, the E-Entertainment Network, if you read certain entertainment websites, what do you see?
You see a bunch of famous people who are all beautiful living a constant party.
They're constantly on yachts, or they are constantly clubbing, or they are constantly on the red carpet.
They're constantly getting great things written about them.
The men are surrounded by a bevy, always, of scantily clad women who are throwing themselves at them.
The women are the epitome of beauty, and every woman wishes she would be like those that she sees, they see portrayed in entertainment media.
In entertainment media, nobody gets ripped except in the National Inquirer.
But E-Entertainment Network, the Entertainment Tonight Show, all these networks just do nothing but fawning puff piece stories.
And they go out of their way to make these people crucially important.
They're important on such things as climate change, like Leonardo DiCaprio.
They're important in all kinds of ways.
They have it all their lives are the epitome of perfection.
And so everybody who wants to matter in their life, and most people know that they're not anywhere near in the same league as these famous people, but they want a taste of it.
And so they go to social media and they take pictures of themselves and they publish them all and they vomit every bit of personal information about themselves and they relish having followers because that's as close as they can get to fame.
And it becomes something almost like an out-of-body experience.
It's unhealthy.
It is abnormal.
It's not productive.
And the whole thing is very seductive.
And I saw this coming decades ago.
And my fear was that it was going to steer people into the sybaritic pursuits of life and the non-substantive, totally zero accomplishment aspects of life.
Just hedonism, constant sybaritic pursuits, and ultimately people concocting fantasies that they actually, in their minds, live in each and every day.
And things that matter, that really matter, don't register with them.
And things that don't really matter at all in life end up taking primacy, superiority as quests, as ambitions.
And it's reached a pinnacle here.
An Egypt air passenger who was among the hostages held during that six-hour hijacking drama convinced this lunatic terrorist who himself, I guess, was Lovelorn.
He had seized the plane.
He was holding everybody hostage.
He convinced the would-be terrorist to pose for a picture amidst all this.
His name was Ben Innes.
And he said, you know, I'm not sure why I did it.
I just threw caution to the wind while trying to stay cheerful in the face of adversity, he told the UK Sun.
I figured if his bomb was real, nothing going to lose anyway.
So I took a chance to get a closer look at it.
This guy's from Leeds.
He is a 26-year-old health and safety auditor, safety auditor.
It means this guy is auditing safety procedures under the auspices of the government at various places.
He said the plane was on the runway in Cyprus, the hijacker still calling the shots, when I got one of the cabin crew to translate for me and asked if I could do a selfie with him.
And the terrorist just shrugged and said, okay, so I stood by him and smiled for the camera while a stewardess took the picture.
It has to be the best selfie ever, he said.
Should we, what should we call the millennials now, the selfie generation?
It seems to be overtaking them.
Seems to be the primary thing that many of them, not all, of course, care about.
And I saw the picture, and here's this guy, the terrorist with the supposed bomb around his waist and his Coke bottle glasses, standing next to this millennial with his Ralph Loren polo shirt, just biggest geek smile you've ever seen, picture being taken on board a plane that has been hijacked.
And I thought, this nails it.
This epitomizes every, I won't call it fear, because my ultimate hope is that young people grow out of this stuff.
I'm not going to become an old fuddy-duddy get off my lawn, kind of old guy, folks.
I always vowed that, but this is not psychologically healthy.
Then you look out all over the country and you find out these are the people who think, these millennials, these are the people who think that the problems that exist in America today have nothing to do with the Democrat Party, nothing to do with liberalism, nothing to do with current Obama administration policy.
They sadly think that the country's best days just happen to be behind us now.
Their birth happened to coincide with peak America.
They are a product of very poor education because that's been dominated by the left wing for generations.
And so they're seeking happiness, fulfillment, and meaning in ways that really don't provide any happiness, fulfillment, or meaning.
And I do hope they grow out of it.
But this to me is just the epitome of what I was talking about.
And I look, you could say, Rushka, this is the kids are going to grow out of this.
36-year-olds.
This is a guy 36.
What's his age here?
24, 34.
He's 26.
I don't know.
When I was 26, it was rather expected that my feet were planted and I'd be going somewhere.
I mean, if I wanted to be taken seriously, talking about careers and career paths and this kind of thing.
I don't want to be too harsh.
Not trying to be exhibiting a lack of understanding.
My actual fears are rooted in compassion for these people.
Because no matter how you slice it, they are.
They do represent the future of the country.
At some point, they are going to become the leaders of whatever it is they happen to be living in, whether it's in their community or in their careers or what have you.
And so I just epitomized the problem.
It's dangerous, but here, this guy's got bragging right.
Look at me, look at me, look at me, notice me, notice me.
I'm telling you, it's not healthy.
All these people that want fame have no idea of the downsides of it.
They never see the downsides.
And even when they do see the downsides of it, I'm wrong.
They do see the downsides of it.
They, like everybody else does, ignore that.
Oh, that wasn't going to happen to me.
And they really think this is something that's within their grasp.
And it's the same people running around worried the NSA is spying on them or some other such thing.
And you just want to shake them.
Nobody has to spy on you.
You are telling everybody who will listen everything there is to know about you.
Because if truth be known, you're desperate to be known.
You are seeking this fame as though it's in and of itself rewarding.
And fame, for no other reason than fame, makes you a Kardashian.
Now, if people aspire to that, then they do.
But the fame that results or the notoriety that results from actual achievement and success, believe me, it takes on an entirely different meaning.
You treat it an entirely different way when it is not the pursuit, when it hasn't been the objective, when it's just something that happens as a result of achieving something else.
It is an entirely, entirely different thing.
Okay, quick time out here.
We come back and more calls audio soundbite roster on the campaign.
Latest things happening.
They are all coming up.
Sit tight.
We'll be right back.
And back to the phones, Jackie in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, thank you, Mr. Limbaugh.
You bet.
You were talking earlier about who's responsible for Trump, and everybody wants to talk about who's responsible for Trump, like it's you.
I mean, you're just one person, or that it's this person.
I'm responsible for Trump.
Me.
How so?
I'm a middle-class person.
They take us out every, what, four years?
Well, you see, here's the thing.
The who's responsible for Trump argument is being advanced by the people who actually are responsible for it, who don't want to accept the blame.
So they're trying to shift it to others.
And implied in this discussion is that there is blame for Trump, that there's something inherently wrong with supporting Trump.
There's something almost sinful about it.
And therefore, somebody's responsible for it.
And whoever's responsible for it is whatever you want to call them, some derogatory term.
Well, what about Joe the plumber?
They have him out here, what was that, like eight years ago or four?
Oh, Joe the Plumber, Joe the Plumber.
No, I know what you're saying.
You're a supporter of Trump.
You have specific reasons, and what you're saying is...
I voted for Obama twice.
Right.
Right.
But now you like Trump.
Let me finish.
I know what you're saying.
You're saying you're doing this on your own.
Nobody's making you do it.
Nobody's influencing you to do it except Trump.
Nobody is blackmailing you.
Nobody has poisoned your mind.
You're doing this of your own free will because you like the guy, right?
Because I think he could make a difference.
Right.
I like it.
But the people running around trying to assign blame for you think that you're incapable of thinking on your own.
Exactly.
Incapable of making up your mind on these matters.
You have to be the result.
In other words, some people believe that you wouldn't think what you think if I had only criticized Trump the way they want Trump criticized.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
I used to listen to you a long time ago, and then I quit listening to you, and then I started listening to you again.
I am the one who's not.
Which means that you actually never went away.
You did.
Well, no, but then you came.
I did.
You came back.
Well, I did.
Yes.
So the way we look at it here, you never really went away.
I was always in your heart.
I was always on your mind.
You found your way back.
Well, you said something years ago about when the tsunami hit.
And you said, trust me on this, people.
They're going to inflate these numbers of people.
And that kind of turned me off on you.
Right.
And so then I quit listening to you.
And then I came back.
Because you found out I was right.
Yes, you are.
You are right because you say it like it is.
And let me tell you, when you tell people, when you were saying that all we do is we just want to get mad at Muslims and we want to get mad at we just want Trump to stick it to them.
No, we don't.
I'm not.
Wait a minute now.
We don't want Trump.
No, but you're saying that they said that that's what we're saying.
That's not me saying it.
That's what all these people who are blaming me for Trump.
And that's not what we're about.
We don't want to stick it to anybody.
We want, where did the steel industry grow, you know?
Mm-hmm.
Why don't we make steel here anymore?
Can you tell me that?
Yeah, I could.
But you already know.
I mean, that's why you're supporting Trump.
Because we need something different.
We need something that's going to, and I think that he will work tirelessly.
Look, there's nobody, and I'm just going to say this flat out.
There's nobody that can better explain the Trump phenomenon than me.
I've been doing it since last July.
I know exactly why you're voting the way you are.
I know exactly what it is.
And I'm not trying to put you down, say this.
I'm saying this because I understand you.
I know exactly where you're coming from.
But even saying that, see, people assume that I am endorsing Trump when I explain why people support him.
Well, how would he know that unless he thinks the same thing is what people believe?
And, of course, never said that.
But I know why you support Trump.
I know why.
And there are probably a host of reasons why people support Trump.
I understand them all.
Not to say that I agree with them all or disagree with any of them.
It's not the point, but I understand them.
I know who the people that make this country work are.
And I know what they're mad about.
And I know what they're upset about.
And I know what they want fixed.
And a lot of that I do agree with.
But I do get it.
So I appreciate your call.
Thanks.
Thanks much, Jackie.
Here's Toulay.
Is that how you pronounce it?
What is it?
Louie.
Louie in Highland Park, New Jersey.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you for taking my call, Rush.
My question is: my point is: you did a terrific interview with Chris Wallace a few weeks back.
Excellent interview.
It was interesting to watch you on the other end, you know, fielding questions.
You did a great job.
Thank you, sir.
You made a point.
You said ultimately you believe the Republican Party will come together when the dust settles.
You've said other times, you know, we've got to defeat Hillary Clinton.
My question is, forget all the hullabaloo, what, you know, went on by the town hall meeting yesterday, and it's all over the news that, you know, all the Republicans, they're not going to support the nominee.
But I think ultimately, you know, Ted Cruz will support the nominee if it's Trump.
My question is, if there is, my question to you, Rush, is if there is a contested convention, and they don't parachute a third party, and it's between Trump and Cruz, and somehow Cruz has the better ground game, and he wins, what do you think Trump will do?
Will he accept that, or, because somehow I believe he won't.
I'd like to know what you think about that, because your main point to Chris Wallace was, you said the party will come together, and I'm just questioning that.
How do you see that if Trump, if Cruz outdoes him in the ground game, in the convention, how you see, what you see happening?
Well, there are a whole bunch of different variables that I will throw in there in my answer to this.
Let's take your scenario that we don't have anybody get 1237.
It goes to a contested convention, and under your hypothetical, Cruz ends up with the better organization, and actually ends up with more delegates than Trump in the second or third ballot, than Trump actually got, say, during the primaries.
Therefore, you don't see Trump supporting Cruz in that outcome.
That's correct.
Well, no, wait.
Okay, I just wanted to make sure that was your premise before I answer it.
Yes, that's my point.
Okay.
If that contest that you have just described, if Trump thinks that it has been unfair, if Trump thinks that the party stacked the deck against him and didn't give him a fair shot at acquiring the delegates on the second or third ballot, if he thinks that they wrote rules that were only punitive to him, then he may not back the nominee.
But I'll tell you something else you better think about.
Forget Trump.
Forget what Trump does.
You better be more concerned what Trump's legion of voters are going to do.
Well, if they think their guy has been shafted, they're going to interpret that as them having been shafted.
They're going to once again think the establishment has denied them, ignored them, or worse, shafted them.
And then it'll depend on how Trump talks to them and what Trump's role is in the campaign going forward.
There are too many unknowns to predict what's going to happen here.
And I wouldn't even try at this stage.
You may have heard, ladies and gentlemen, that the campaign manager, is that what Lewandowski is, is that his action?
The campaign manager, Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, either arrested, charged, written order to appear, whatever people want to say, has been charged with misdemeanor battery in an altercation with a reporter from Breitbart, former reporter Breitbart, Michelle Fields.
And...
It happened up in Jupiter here in Florida at the Trump golf course up there after a Trump press conference rather than a victory speech.
Trump press conference.
You've seen it by now in many different video angles.
Trump was leaving the stage and entourage behind him.
The press conference was over.
There were some reporters trailing along.
Michelle Fields apparently asked Trump a question at which point she was grabbed and pulled away from Trump by Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager.
This is according to witnesses in about 13,000 different angles of videotape.
And she has now filed a police report some days later, and Lewandowski has been charged by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office with this misdemeanor battery.
The max penalty is a year in prison and or a year probation and whatever fine that might be tossed out.
Trump has been making the rounds, press conference on his airplane, press conferences all over the state of Wisconsin, TV appearances defending Lewandowski.
We have audio sound bites as examples of this.
We'll start with Good Morning America today.
David Muir, fill-in host, says, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, you've had a chance to watch the video.
Battery or not, is it now clear to you that your campaign manager did, in fact, touch that woman?
When you read her statement, actually, she said she was jolted backwards.
Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down.
She wasn't yanked down.
She was hardly even touched.
Then she goes, campaign managers aren't supposed to try and forcefully throw reporters to the ground.
He didn't try to throw her to the ground.
Now, when she found out there was a tape supplied by me, by the way, I'm the one that had the tape.
When she found out I had the tape, all of a sudden, perhaps she changes her tune.
But I think it's a disgrace in a world where they're chopping off heads, where they're drowning people in cages.
Everybody that's seen this tape that I know, and you look at Twitter, people think it's a total disgrace that she actually filed charges.
Then Muir continued to look at Trump with a perplexed look on his face, which prompted Trump to continue.
I'm going to fire him because he may have brushed her.
Well, she brushed me.
She grabbed my arm.
You see that?
She shouldn't have been grabbing me if you want to be technical about it.
Maybe should I file charges against her because she touched my arm also?
It's absolutely ridiculous.
It's out of control.
And I'll tell you, the other candidates, they said, oh, I should fire him.
That's because they're weak, ineffective people.
They fire.
They want to be politically correct.
I don't want to be politically correct.
I want to be correct.
Okay, it sounds to me like Trump is standing by Corey Lewandowski and is saying that he doesn't think whatever happened approaches anything near like the way it's being reported.
Is that a pretty fair?
Right.
Okay.
Now, skip number five because I don't think it's got anything to do with it.
We move forward to number six.
This is Matt Wauer talking to Trump on the Today Show.
And here's Matt Wauer's question.
Right after this incident, Corey Lewandowski tweeted that she was delusional, and he tweeted that he never touched her.
The videotape easily and plainly shows that in fact he did grab her and did pull her.
And whether you want to debate whether she almost fell down or not, he didn't tell the truth.
If your president of the United States and a member of your staff, your chief of staff, goes to the American people and publicly doesn't tell the truth in the way that Corey Lewandowski hasn't told the truth, would you put up with it?
And here's Trump's reply.
When you look at what happened, it was so minor that he might not have even thought about it.
Because to be honest with you, when you look at this, it was so minor.
People are saying, what is this all about?
We have people in the Middle East chopping off heads and drowning people in cages, and he brushes her and he brushed her to get probably, probably to get her hand off my arm.
Right.
Another thing Trump has been saying is that she had no right to touch him, that she reached out, touched him trying to get his attention.
That the interview was over.
The press, the gaggle, the press conference period was over.
She was violating protocol or whatever.
And he points out that on the video, you can see him retract his arm when somebody that he can't see, because all this is happening behind him, grabs for his arm.
Well, now we move to CNN last night, the Republican town hall, Anderson Cooper, speaking with Ted Cruz about the Trump campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, being charged with battery.
And Anderson Cooper said, Donald Trump's campaign manager, Lewandowski, charged today with simple battery.
If he was your campaign manager, would you ask him to resign?
Of course.
Look, it shouldn't be complicated that members of a campaign staff should not be physically assaulting the press.
I mean, that shouldn't be a complicated decision.
He says he's innocent of all the charges.
Do you believe it was assault?
He's just been charged.
I know that the reporter alleged that she was physically assaulted.
I will say it's consistent with the pattern of the Trump campaign.
You think it says something about the campaign itself, about the leadership?
The culture of the campaign has been a campaign built on attacks, on insults.
And I think there is no place in politics for insults, for personal attacks, for going to the gutter, and there should be no place for physical violence either.
Now, what?
What?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Will you people stop reacting in there?
I've got all three of my staff on the other side of the glass reacting here.
And I just, I have no comment on this.
As you know, I have imposed my own gag, if you will, a gag order on my, because, I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
It's not, it's not, I don't care whether people disagree with what I say, but when they don't even hear it and they misreport what I've said and I can handle people disagreeing with me until hell freezes over.
But if people are going to raise hell with not even having heard what I said, what's the point?
So I'm not commenting on this.
I'm not going to opine on this.
You can come to your own conclusions whenever you want.
But we're not through here.
This story would not be complete without the governor of Ohio being asked about it, John Kasich.
That also happened on CNN last night.
Anderson Cooper said, Donald Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, charged today with simple battery.
Would you fire him?
Well, I haven't seen the video, but they tell me the video is real.
Of course I would.
Look, you know, when you have problems like that, you have to act.
I've been, of course, an executive running the seventh largest state, and we see things that happen at times.
You want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but when you see things that are pretty clear, from what I understand, the video is clear.
Of course, I would fire him.
Right.
Okay.
So Kasich, of course.
Sorry.
Sorry.
No opinion here.
Sticking with the Republican town hall, this is Anderson Cooper back now to Ted Cruz.
If Donald Trump is the GOP nominee and Corey Lewandowski isn't fired, or if he is, will you support Trump if he's the nominee?
Let me tell you my solution to that.
Donald is not going to be the GOP nominee.
We're going to beat him.
I would be remiss if I didn't follow up.
I will assume by you not saying you would support him, the answer is you would not support him.
I gave you my answer.
Listen, I think nominating Donald Trump would be an absolute train wreck.
I think nominating Donald Trump is a disaster.
And so the answer to that is not to scream and yell and cry and attack him.
The answer to that is to beat him at the ballot box.
That's what we're working every day to do.
And there you have Ted Cruz explaining what he would do in terms of endorsing or not endorsing, supporting or not supporting Donald Trump, were he to be the nominee of the Republican Party.
At the same gathering, the CNN, Republican town hall, Anderson Cooper continued to speak with the candidates up next was Donald Trump.
And Cooper said, more than six months ago, you pledged to support the Republican nominee, whoever that may be.
A lot has changed since then.
Mr. Trump, when I was pressing Senator Cruz on it, it sounded like he was saying that he would have a hard time supporting somebody who went after his wife, as you have gone after his wife, Mr. Trump.
So given that, what is your reaction to the proposition that you pledged you would support the nominee, the Republican Party, months ago?
Obviously, he doesn't have to support me.
I'm not asking for support.
Do you want the people's support?
Do you continue to pledge whoever the I don't want to get nominee in?
No, I don't anymore.
Look, you don't?
No, we'll see who it is.
I've been treated very unfairly.
I'll give you an example.
Who?
I think by basically the RNC, the Republican Party, the establishment.
Donald Trump there with Anderson Cooper.
And now Anderson Cooper continues.
CNN owned the news cycle last night with the Republican town hall.
Up next, the governor of Ohio, John Kasich.
Mr. Cooper said, a pledge was made early on in this race by all the Republican candidates saying that they would pledge to support whoever the nominee was.
Tonight, Donald Trump said that pledge essentially was null and void.
He would not pledge to continue to support whoever the nominee is.
He would have to wait and see.
And Ted Cruz wouldn't really answer it, but implied that a lot has changed.
What about you, Governor Kasich?
You have a remarkable story, son of a mailman from McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
You've won one state, your own.
It's a remarkable story.
What about you, sir, and your pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee?
Maybe I won't answer it either.
I mean, Anderson, here's the thing.
This is what you have to weigh.
I've been disturbed by some of the things that I've seen, and I have to think about what my word and endorsement would mean, you know, presidential campaign.
So I want to see how this thing finishes out.
It's a very, very important aspect of the campaign, what Governor Kasich thinks.
And as you heard, he's being very, very careful.
And he's weighing his options with great weight.
He's waiting to determine all factors before providing his all-important support or perhaps his crucial decline of support.
Mr. Cooper wasn't finished with him.
He said, so you, Governor Kasich, of the remarkable story from Ohio, you're not ironclad, standing by the initial pledge to support whoever the nominee is.
Am I hearing you correctly, sir?
You know, frankly, all of us shouldn't even have answered that question, but it was the first debate.
And, you know, what the heck.
Sometimes you answer questions, you ought to just say, I'm not answering it.
So now, just to be clear, I'm as clear as you're going to get out of it.
You're not standing by the nomination.
I want to be political here.
I've got to see what happens.
If the nominee is somebody that I think is really hurting the country and dividing the country, I can't stand behind them.
The end result here is that they all backed away from their pledge to support the nominee.
That's basically it, right?
I can say pretty safe to say that.
That's not an opinion, right?
That's a factual conclusion.
Okay, we'll be back after this.
Don't go over it.
Here is Edward in Leesburg, Virginia.
Back to the phones we go.
The Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
How are you, Russ?
Hi.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
I told your cooper that I was wanted to talk about being a Trumpster.
And it seems like to me that the papers, and not you, but most of the liberal people say that the Trumpsters are a bunch of blue-collar or lower people.
I was with the Republican Party a number of years.
I was an eagle.
What exactly is an eagle?
An eagle is a major fundraiser, donor, and bundler, correct?
Yes.
$250,000 minimum.
Am I correct in that?
Over time, not at one time.
Right, but over time.
Some people do do it in a day.
Depends on who you know and where you go.
And after Bush got out of office, I just kind of walked away.
I didn't like the way the party was going.
I still gave money, but not to the party.
I gave to the individual.
I gave Cruz money to run for Senate.
I gave Rubio money, and I also gave the Ohio governor money.
Oh, no.
Oh, I mean, oh, interesting.
Interesting.
What is that?
No, that's interesting that you did that.
So you now, but you've become a Trumpster as well.
I've become a Trumpster.
And the reason is because I want to pick a winner.
Now, I also, you know, I was a recon officer in the Marine Corps.
Let me ask you.
Edward, can I ask you a couple questions?
Yeah.
Do you chew tobacco?
No, I don't.
Do you have pictures of naked women on your bedroom ceiling?
No, I don't.
Then how can you be a Trump supporter?
Do you, let's see, do you ride a motorcycle?
If I could, I would, but I don't ride them.
But here's a pickup truck with a gun rack in the back.
I have pickup trucks.
They're old pickup trucks that collect cars.
Right.
And do you count the number of people you hate every day?
Number of people I hate?
Yeah, that's what Trumpists do.
I mean, we're told that Trump supporters hate him.
In no way, no way.
I don't know.
I don't hate anybody.
Is that right?
Michael Jersey would be shocked.
Sometimes when some of these people do things, I begin to hate them, but I withdraw after a while.
Do you want to torture everybody you disagree with?
No.
You want to torture criminals?
You want to torture.
I want to torture people I can't say, but I agree with Trump in torturing people that are killing our people.
Right.
In order to get to the bottom of it as well.
In order to get to the bottom of it.
Stop it from happening.
I had a nephew that was in Afghanistan.
He was a captain, and he was told, he went to the front lines, even though he was in artillery.
He asked if he could go to the front lines.
He went to the front lines, and what they told him was: look, unless they shoot at you, you can't shoot at them.
Oh, yeah.
We've heard about those rules of engagement.
You have to let them shoot at you five times before you can return fire.
And if it's a woman, you have to wait till you're fired at eight times or something.
I don't know.
I've heard about the rules of engagement and how under Obama and how punitive and ridiculous they are.
Anyway, Edward, I appreciate the call.
Thank you much.
A brief time out here, my friends, as we roll right on here in the EIB network after this.
Yes, of course I heard her say that.
What was there to say?
I'll repeat it.
They're asking me why I didn't comment it.
Jackie, our caller from Charlottesville, Virginia, said that she used to listen and then got mad and turned me off and found out that I was right anyway.
She came back.
She admitted she said that she had voted twice for Obama, and now she's supporting Trump.
And I said, yeah, I heard that.
I heard her say that.
That's that.
That's fine.
She said it.
What am I supposed to do?
So there you have it.
We had a caller who said, yeah.
So I've got no thought on it today.
