	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Fireworks are going off out there today here, folks, about me, your beloved host, Irony, Excellence in Broadcasting.
	Well, fireworks might be overstating it a bit, but salient, penetrating points made by me are being aired on various cable networks, and powers that be are being asked to respond.
	Some of it's quite uncomfortable for them.
	Anyway, we'll get to that in just a moment, as well as all the rest of the program big New York primary today.
	You know one of the fascinating things about this primary is that fully, now get this now, 75% of the votes in the Democrat primary will come from New York City, the five boroughs.
	75% of the votes in the Republican primary will not come from Manhattan or the five boroughs.
	They'll come from, what do you call it, outstate, upstate, places like Binghamton.
	Always love pronouncing it that way.
	But that just tells you who lives where.
	The Democrat primary, 75% of all votes cast will come from New York City.
	All the boroughs except Staten Island, which is reliably ours, but still a lot of Democrats there.
	But it's fascinating that the vast majority of votes in the Republican primary, that'll be some from New York City, of course, but most of them from outstate.
	Fascinating little stat that I had not looked at it that way before.
	Upstate, outstate.
	Well, I just mean outside the city is what I mean.
	And I think everybody knows what I mean.
	Why are you nitpicking here?
	You know, I'm not, I'm look at, what do you think I'm doing?
	My version of New York values here.
	I'm not even approaching.
	I'm not trying to insult anybody.
	I'm just trying to categorize geographically various aspects of the state.
	Outstate, you know, out city.
	How about that?
	Out city.
	Outstate, upstate, whatever.
	Everybody knows what I mean here.
	Anyway, folks, two or three things here before we get into the meat and potatoes of things today.
	First thing I want to tell you about is Ed Morrissey has a book out.
	He asked me to blurb it, and I read the book and I wrote, Ed, this book's going to kick ass.
	And that's my blurb.
	That's the blurb on the cover of his book.
	Ed Morrissey is a blogger that he started his own blog, Captain's Quarters, and ended up merging with hotair.com.
	It's a great blog site.
	It actually is.
	It's really diverse.
	But Ed is one of the intellectual leaders over there with a couple of others.
	And he's written a book called Going Red.
	And it's about how conservatives can win.
	And there are a lot of those books.
	But his take on this is fascinating.
	And I just wanted to mention it to you.
	The book is out recently.
	Going Red, it's not about communism.
	It's about red states versus blue states.
	But his point is that 2 million voters are going to determine who wins the presidency.
	2 million voters in seven counties across the country.
	I'm not going to tell you which counties.
	One of the counties is in Ohio, one's in Florida, one's in Colorado.
	But that's as far as I'm going to go.
	They are seven battleground counties in swing states that the Republicans have to win if the Republicans and more importantly, conservatives are going to win this presidential election.
	Every one of these seven counties voted for Obama in one or both of the last two elections.
	But all of these seven counties are now battleground, meaning up for grabs because of how bad the Obama administration has been.
	And the door is open in these important seven counties for Republicans to win them.
	And if they do, it is Ed Morrissey's theory here that they will thus win the presidency.
	And it's important to deal a blow.
	I mean, these seven counties, again, went for Obama in 2008 or 2012.
	And if they go Republican, it'd be a massive, massive slap in the face to the left.
	And the book is more than that.
	It tells you what went wrong in 2008 and 2012 and what needs to change.
	Virginia is one of the states where one of the counties is, obviously.
	But it's a fascinating read.
	As I say, the book is kick-ass.
	That ended up being my blurb.
	And I just wanted to mention, I was, you know, Ed was named blogger of the year at CPAC two or three years ago, and he asked me, of course, to do the official introduction via videotape, and I did.
	Ed said it was one of the most impressive and meaningful days in his life, which I was very appreciative, and I understood as well.
	And I think that his book is something that a lot of you, at least not just for wonks, but I mean, this is pretty specific.
	And by the way, don't get depressed.
	This is not meant to depress you that the election depends on seven counties.
	It's just his take on it.
	Sort of like the theory on the Electoral College.
	Democrats start out with 200 votes in the Electoral College just because whoever their candidate is has a D next to their name, which means they automatically win New York, automatically win California.
	That's big.
	If they ever get Texas, it's over.
	And if they hold on to New York and California.
	Then you throw Trump into this mix.
	And presuming that he is a nominee, what does he do?
	Does he upset that and put New York in play, for example?
	You know, the polling data on the New York primary today, if we are to believe it, Trump is going to went in a bigger landslide than any of the polling data had suggested up till now.
	And if something like that happens and you're talking about another momentum shift, which I think the New York media is already beginning to establish as their narrative that the momentum, even though Cruz is just killing it with all these delegate battles, the New York media, which is Trump-centric, is trying to shift the narrative now.
	And like I say, we've been in a low.
	We've had some days go by here where there hasn't been anything to talk about, no hard results.
	All we've had is theory, predictions, analysis.
	But now we're going to get some more hard results that are also called votes.
	And that will shift the coverage on a dime.
	And that will start tonight.
	Two more things I want to mention.
	Another book, Pete Hegseth.
	You might have seen Pete Hegseth on Fox now, and then he's a contributor.
	He has a book coming out on May 3rd.
	I'll have more on that as we approach the date because it is really good.
	And as they say in the book world, it's important as well.
	Item number two, people continue to email me.
	You know, we have a new sponsor here called John Maxwell and Associates.
	And people are asking me, what is this?
	And the commercials, the spot announcements ought to be perfectly clear.
	But let me just go into a little bit more detail about this.
	John Maxwell leads an organization.
	It's eponymous, of course, and he is the energy behind it.
	But don't make the mistake that this is just motivational seminars where you show up and Maxwell tells you how good you are, that you don't know how good you are, and teaches you how to reach inside yourself and find the inner you that's going to catapult you.
	That's part of it, but that's by no means all that Maxwell does.
	Maxwell has trained and coached leadership in 40 countries around the world.
	Maxwell, in addition to conducting annual seminars in various places all over the world, also works with government leaders in a motivational sense.
	But Maxwell is all about telling people how to get the best out of themselves, but more importantly, how to become leaders.
	And it is Maxwell's belief that a lot of people are natural leaders and don't know it.
	Some do know it and don't want to be because of the responsibility.
	And he sells it.
	He promotes it.
	Leadership is crucial and coaching people is crucial to get the best out of any group of people, be it a corporation, a small business, a classroom, whatever it is.
	And in addition to Maxwell showing you how good you can be, what talents you have that you may not know, how to get more out of yourself than you otherwise could.
	He goes many steps beyond that in telling you how to do that with others.
	You become someone who is able to extract the best out of everybody you work with and everybody who works for you that might work for you down the road.
	It is a phenomenal program and a track record of international success.
	The term coach is used a lot in the Maxwell world.
	It is nothing more than people being trained to do what Maxwell shows you to do.
	There are no secrets, really, if you understand human nature.
	Maxwell's not afraid of teaching other people to do what he does.
	He's not proprietary about that.
	He's not egocentric.
	He's not in any way selfish.
	He wants everybody to be the best they can be and to tell others how to be the best they can be, how to be naturally positive and optimistic while based in reality.
	It really, really is a fascinating track record that Maxwell and his company have established.
	We're honored to have them here as sponsors.
	And people email me frequently wanting more information about it.
	And you can go to his website, maxwell.com.
	There's all kinds of places you can find it.
	But I wanted to tell you personally what happens and how you can avail yourself of the opportunity.
	But don't think of it as simply motivation seminar.
	There's all kinds of guys that run around and do motivational speaking and rev you up and fire you up.
	That's part of this, but it's much, much more.
	It's what you do with that after you've discovered it in yourself and how to extract it from others, how to spot it in others to get the most out of everybody.
	And it's really worthwhile.
	And the third and final thing, you remember Lieutenant Colonel Mark Hassara.
	Lieutenant Colonel Hassara flew tankers in the United States Air Force.
	And unbeknownst to me, on the day of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, he flew an American flag in his tanker.
	I think it was a KC-10, which is the Air Force version of the DC-10.
	It might have been a KC-135 now, I think, which is the Air Force version of the Boeing 707.
	But he flew both of them.
	And six others, six of his buddies, who flew attack aircraft and bomber aircraft, they landed and they all took a run with that flag.
	And then none of this I knew until it all arrived at home one day.
	He got my FedEx address.
	And one day I got home.
	There's this package from Lieutenant Colonel Mark Hassara with this flag that was folded in a Ziploc bag with a letter written to me on a legal pad, handwritten, and certificates of authenticity of every aircraft and pictures of every aircraft in which that flag had flown.
	And needless to say, I was shocked.
	I mean, I was blown away.
	I didn't know things like that happened.
	Number one, it didn't surprise me when I stopped to think of it, but I was just honored beyond my ability to express it.
	And I remember bringing all that stuff in the next day and talking about it here on the radio.
	And I got to know Lieutenant Colonel Assara and his family quite well over the years.
	And I have told him, he's now retired.
	He's no longer in the Air Force.
	I said, if you ever have a chance, you have got to go to Normandy.
	You have got to see the cemetery.
	You've got to go to Pointahoe.
	You've got to go to these famous battle sites of World War II.
	He's a brilliant military tactician.
	He's writing a book, by the way, called Passing Gas.
	It's a picture book, some of the most incredible pictures of refueling operations.
	And there's a saying they all have, nobody kicks ass without tanker gas.
	Meaning, if these guys can't refuel, they can't run their missions.
	So without the tankers, you've got no missions.
	And he's on that trip.
	He and his family, they lost a son to cancer, 19 years old, Jeff.
	But they're on the trip, and he sent me a picture, emailed me a picture this morning of him and one of his sons standing at Ponduho, which, of course, is I'm Wanda Ho what happened at Ponduho with the Rangers, the 2nd Battalion of Rangers, rappelling straight up the cliffs down from Omaha Beach while the Germans were firing straight down on them and the Rangers just kept coming.
	Reagan gave one of the greatest speeches he's ever given at an anniversary, D-Day anniversary at the spot where the memorial is at Poandu Ho.
	So I sent the photo up to Coco, and I told Coco, I'm probably going to mention this.
	I want you to have the photo to post it at rushlimbaugh.com.
	He's been to the cemetery at Normandy.
	He had an interesting comment to me.
	You know, when you go to Pondoho and you look over those cliffs and you see what the Rangers did, I mean, it's amazing to see it from the beach, looking up when you're in the position the German gunners were in.
	And imagining these Rangers just coming and kind of climbing ropes to get up these clips.
	It's almost straight up.
	He said, thank God we don't fight wars this way anymore.
	Meaning that kind of warfare has been modernized, and you wouldn't need to land a battalion of Rangers to take positions at Poindaho.
	You could just drone them to death or whatever air power, missiles, whatever technology available today.
	And it got me to thinking: you know, the people alive today, probably not very many, know what World War I was about.
	They certainly don't know the U.S. role in it.
	It's just that far ago, long ago.
	And we're approaching that period in World War II.
	We're dangerously near that time where many Americans will really have no knowledge of World War II.
	And the point is, no real appreciation for the effort and what was accomplished that day.
	The word Hitler is thrown around.
	We have Hitler video jokes that you can see Hitler discovers this, Hitler learns this.
	And we sometimes call our politicians.
	It was vile.
	The things that happened that we beat back, the things that we saved the world from, just unspeakable.
	And the effort is on the way to being forgotten, sadly.
	And it's just the way things were.
	It's just human nature, passage of time.
	And this photo that he sent me just and his comment about not fighting wars that way anymore sort of hit home with me to the point that I wanted to share the observation.
	I've got to take a break now.
	We'll do that and be back after this.
	Don't go away.
	No, no, Going Red is the name of Ed Morrissey's book.
	That's the main title.
	If you forget the title, just think communism.
	It's not about communism.
	I'm just thinking of ways to remind you what title is, but you shouldn't forget going red.
	It's easy to remember.
	One of the lead stories, the top of the Drudge report today is NBC news reporter Hallie Jackson saying that a top cruise campaign aide told her, quote, even if they come in a distant third, the cruise campaign, even if they come in a distant third, they will still believe pick up more than half the delegates in New York.
	Now, that's kind of out there.
	That's the only place that I have seen this is this NBC reporter quoting a cruise aide on this.
	I saw another story in this regard about how Trump could pick up all the delegates by only winning if he only won 40% of the popular vote.
	It was a convoluted way of analyzing delegate apportionment in New York.
	It was not a prediction.
	It was not saying Trump's only going to win 40%.
	That's not what it was.
	It was a discussion explanation of how even if he only won 40%, theoretically could get all the delegates.
	So that's out there in a cruise campaign saying, hey, we can finish third and get half of them.
	And of course, we're not going to know how this all ends up until later tonight.
	But we'll have more detail on this as I just noticed a short segment because I went long in the previous segment.
	You understand.
	Back in a second.
	Folks, totally disregard what I just said about New York.
	I was misinformed.
	That was about Pennsylvania.
	And since this is the New York primary, I assumed I had been informed about something happening in the New York primary.
	Forget it.
	Everything I said prior to the break in the last hour is dead wrong.
	It was all about Pennsylvania.
	The only thing I got right was that there is a story on the Trump side, somebody suggesting, it's a media person.
	I forget exactly who I didn't print it out, but it's simply one of these analysis pieces showing how Trump could get all the delegates in New York with only winning 40% of the popular vote.
	It was just an analysis, all coming under the theme of either everything's rigged or how in the world do states, party organizations set up their processes here and how different they are from state to state.
	And so it's my bad.
	It's all about Pennsylvania.
	It relates to nothing.
	We'll save it for when the Pennsylvania primary comes around.
	Now, the latest on the polling data, and I mentioned that the momentum shift, some in the New York media, because there's some in the New York media who really want Trump to be the nominee because they think Trump's going to get shellacked in a landslide.
	Remember, no matter where you go in the media, they want Hillary Clinton to win.
	And it's just like with the media and McCain back in 2008, softening him up and sucking up to him.
	And Ed McCain thinking that the media was his base.
	And of course, they turned on him the minute there was a nominee on the Democrat side.
	So even now, the media, New York-centric media, is unbalanced pro-Trump, but that's because they want Hillary to be elected.
	And there is a bit of conventional wisdom throughout the media that Trump or Cruz, either one, will lose in a landslide to Hillary Clinton.
	That's what they think.
	I, of course, have stated often and will say again, I don't think it's true.
	I think, you know, Hillary Clinton had another coughing fit.
	There's something wrong with Hillary Clinton.
	There's something wrong in the Hillary Clinton campaign.
	She's going to win New York.
	Bernie's not going to even get close.
	If you want to talk about landslides, it looks like Hillary will have one in New York, maybe 10, 15 points, which is just, it's not going to sit well with the Bernie people.
	My point is that for all this talk of disjointed disunity on the Republican side, don't overlook what is happening on the Democrat side because it's a mess there.
	Now, the latest polling data from theHill.com, Donald Trump now 40% nationally, NBC News, Wall Street Journal, Ted Cruz at 35%.
	John Kasich is at 24%, according to the poll.
	Trump supports up 10 points from a March poll.
	And in that poll, Cruz was at 27.
	Kasich was at 22.
	So Trump is up after what has supposedly been a rotten two weeks for Trump on the delegate side.
	Mitt Romney is saying that Trump's going to win this if Cruz and Kasich stay in.
	The explanation coming up in the audio soundbites at the moment.
	We'll hear why he thinks that.
	But let's go to the audio soundbites.
	Martha McCallum on Fox News this morning did something I think is kind of brave.
	She played an audio soundbite of me from this program that you'll hear coming up in a moment and stood by it in a sense.
	And she had a couple of guests.
	She had Rich Lowry from National Review and some Democrat that I have no idea who it was.
	What's his name?
	Matt Matthew Littman, a former speechwriter for Biden.
	That's why I don't know who he is.
	Anyway, here's the bite.
	Here's how the segment opened, and you'll see what I'm talking about here as it unfolds.
	Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh argues that if either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz is the eventual Republican nominee, the party may be prepared to let Hillary Clinton win.
	And he explains why he thinks that is.
	The Republican establishment is prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton if it means holding on to their fiefdoms.
	The party's primary objective is self-preservation, not winning the White House in this cycle.
	The dead giveaway for that is when you hear some of them openly, publicly say that they will vote for Hillary rather than Trump.
	And some of them have even said that they'll vote for Hillary instead of Cruz.
	It means they do not think the country's in crisis.
	They don't think anything of the sort.
	There is a lot of talk about exactly what Russia's saying in that soundbite.
	Now, it's one thing for me to say it on the radio, and I have no problem.
	It has true.
	The only reason I said it is I have seen, and it's an increasing number of elected Republicans who are some anonymously, some with names attributed, saying if it's Cruz, some saying if it's Trump, that they'd vote for Hillary.
	And there's only one reason why, and that is they don't think the country's in crisis.
	They don't consider the Democrats and Hillary to be a real threat to their way of life, to the nation at large.
	They don't consider the Democrats to be a threat to the Constitution.
	And what's more important is holding on to what they have, keeping their establishment intact and their role in it intact.
	And if you, it's undeniable that they have said it.
	There are now, you've seen stories of these named Republicans, elected Republicans, a lot of senators, I think five, have said they're not even going to go to the convention, even before we know who the nominee is, because everybody knows the nominee is going to be either Trump or Cruz, and they're not going to go.
	They're saying, you know, I can do more for myself staying home with my voters.
	Yes, I can stay.
	I can do a better job for myself back in my own constituency and dealing with people in my state.
	That is, it's not unprecedented, but it's weird.
	I mean, the focus of particularly this convention, you know, if the Republican Party knows what it's doing, you know, you've heard Trump talk about the need for this convention to have showbiz, that it's boring otherwise.
	You've got to have some showbiz aspects to the convention.
	They don't need to do anything other than let things.
	If you go to a contested convention and you have floor votes where the outcome is unknown, you're going to have tune-in factor like they've never had for a convention, like not since 1976.
	The show biz is built in if somebody doesn't get to 1237.
	The show biz is simply drama, and the drama comes from an outcome not being known.
	So if the convention starts and there's not a nominee, I guarantee you, the only place you're going to want to be as an elected Republican is in Cleveland where this convention is going to be, because that's the only thing that's going to be covered.
	You're not going to be covered back in your home state of Rhode Island or Maine or whatever while the action is hot and heavy in Cleveland, even if there is a nominee, even if it's Trump at 1237 before the convention, there's still going to be fireworks.
	The floor votes, the rules are still going to have to be written.
	Trump, as the nominee, is going to be fighting for control of the convention, fighting for control of the logistics and of the agenda.
	So I don't know what kind of planning actually needs to happen here for there to be showbiz because it's built into this.
	I mean, this whole campaign has been showbiz from that standpoint, meaning the great unknown equaling drama.
	I mean, why do you think NFL games are the highest-rated television programs in this country?
	I'm talking about regular season.
	Some 4.30 starts, some of the prime time starts.
	Not playoffs, regular season.
	Why do you think it is?
	Because NFL games, it's true of NBA and Major League Baseball too, but the NFL right now happens to be the national pastime sports-wise.
	It's the drama.
	It's the only thing on TV where you don't know the outcome.
	You know how the Oprah show is going to end.
	Somebody's going to hug and somebody's going to cry and their life's going to get fixed.
	You know how every crime drama on TV is going to end.
	The bad guy's either going to get caught or he's not going to get caught.
	The bad guy's going to get away with it and get caught the next episode or he's going to get caught and everybody's going to be sad.
	There's no drama in terms of unknown.
	Depending on how good the program is, if the writing is really good and the stories are good, they could overcome the fact that the outcome is known.
	But the NFL, I mean, everything that happens in the game, it's unknown.
	Everything playing out is drama.
	And so that equals big tuning.
	Republican convention has the potential to have the same draw without writing any show biz into it.
	Now, that's, again, if the convention is contested.
	Now, anyway, back to the soundbite here.
	So Fox plays the soundbite here of me theorizing.
	You don't see this discussed on TV.
	We discuss it on radio.
	But it's just one of these things where that gap, the bridge to TV, oftentimes this doesn't come up.
	Something as open as, are Republicans actually going to vote for Hillary Clinton rather than vote for Donald Trump or Ted Cruz?
	Now, I'll let you hear Rich Lowry and this Democrats' reaction to it because there's a couple more bites to it when we get back.
	So don't go away here.
	Okay, so after playing the soundbite, Where I say that it looks like I've heard a Republican establishment type saying that if Trump's nominee, if Cruz nominee, they will vote for Hillary or they will not vote.
	They just can't hold their nose.
	And whatever the explanation for that is that it's only about one thing, self-preservation.
	And if you can vote, if you can vote for Hillary Clinton, if you're a Republican, establishment or otherwise, and you can vote for Hillary Clinton in this election cycle, then you can't possibly be in touch with where things are in this country.
	You cannot possibly understand how the vast majority of the people in this country feel and think about what has been done to their country in the past seven years, seven and a half years.
	You are solely into yourself.
	And that means all you care about is maintaining the Republican Party as it is, no matter how insignificant it is related to the Democrat Party.
	At least it's there, and you have your spot in it.
	You're in the establishment.
	You've got your connections and whatever it means to you.
	You're still in the club and the club still exists.
	And that's what's paramount.
	And that is our problem.
	One of many.
	Here's Rich Lowry reacting when Martha McCallum said, you agree with Rush Rich.
	Yeah, there's a lot of talk like that, but that has nothing to do with voting for Hillary Clinton.
	And I think if Trump's the nominee, you would see the party establishment, at least as it's exemplified in the RNC and most elected officials, getting on board with Trump, even if tentatively and with a lot of hesitation.
	It's only as clear if Trump is going to crash and burn in a general election.
	Then you'd see everyone scurrying for cover.
	And the irony of what Rush is saying, actually, Trump is going to be desperate for establishment support and especially establishment money if he's the nominee because he's not liquid enough certainly to fund his own campaign.
	That happens to be true.
	And Rich's point here, that, yeah, he's heard talk of people voting for Hillary, but it's not, it has nothing to do with voting for Hillary.
	That's precisely right.
	That makes it even worse.
	It's not that they're voting for Hillary.
	It's that they are voting for themselves and voting for Hillary is what preserves themselves.
	You know, I'm hit with this allegation all the time.
	I have been hit with it for 27 years.
	It comes at me.
	You really want the Democrats to win, don't you?
	You'd much rather have the Democrats in the White House so you have something to talk about every day.
	You'd much rather have the Democrats do what we're doing so you can stand up and oppose it.
	Otherwise, if your buds are in the White House and you have to agree with them every day, all the time, you could not be farther wrong if anybody is of that opinion.
	When people like Obama win the White House twice, when Clinton wins it twice, I'm maybe more devastated than the average voter is.
	Part of me takes it personally.
	And then I get myself back into focus and realize that it's not that, but it still bothers me to know when it still does.
	What's happening to the country bugs the heck out of me.
	Scares me, worries me, depresses me, angers me.
	And that's why, folks, to me, the objective here is beating Hillary Clinton or whoever they nominate.
	I don't care, beating the Democrat Party.
	When I tell you that I think the most destructive force in the country today is American liberalism, worldwide liberalism, it is.
	The evidence is abundant.
	It's all around us.
	And they have to be defeated politically.
	And that's why I make a big deal of this.
	When I hear Republicans, oh, yeah, yeah, well, if Trump's a nominee, if Cruz is nominated, I'm voting Hillary.
	That just frosts me.
	I can't tell you how much.
	Now, the next bite, she talks to the lib Democrat, the former speechwriter for Biden, Martha McAllister.
	Says, okay, let's get to the heart of what Russia is saying.
	He's saying, Matt, not that they don't like these candidates.
	What he's saying is they're so desperate to hang on to the establishment, the cartel, as Ted Cruz calls it, that they're willing to throw their lot in with Hillary because they don't like these guys.
	They think Cruz and Trump are going to shake up the system, and they don't want the system to be shaken up.
	I think that's a pretty courageous stand for her to take in explaining to these guys what I mean.
	Here's this guy's reaction to it.
	Rush Limbaugh is not the first person to say that anybody who disagrees with him must have nefarious motives.
	We hear that a lot on both sides right now.
	But Rush Limbaugh is wrong.
	There are a lot of people who think that Donald Trump would be terrible for America.
	A lot of those people are in office.
	That's true.
	Some of those people are on the Democratic side.
	A lot of those people are on the Republican side.
	They do not want Donald Trump to be president because of the things that Donald Trump says.
	That seems very reasonable.
	The other thing I would say is, why are people still listening to Rush Limbaugh?
	There are plenty of people listening to Rush Limbaugh, I can assure you.
	Let me tell you, the point he says here about the Rush Limbaugh's not the first person to say anybody disagrees with him has nefarious.
	It's not because they disagree with me.
	And listen to this.
	Here's a guy saying, yeah, I can understand voting against Trump for what he says.
	What he says.
	How about voting against Hillary because what she's already done and what we know she will do more of?
	These guys run.
	Have you seen, there's a video that's gone viral.
	A guy went to a college campus, I'll get the details somewhere, and he wanted to find out from students what he could do or say to make them judge him to be wrong.
	And he couldn't find anybody.
	He said, I want to tell you, he's about 5'10, 180.
	He says, I am a 6'5 Chinese woman.
	I'm telling you right now, I'm a 6'5 Chinese woman.
	What's your reaction?
	Well, I can't condemn that if that's what you think you are.
	If you want to be, if that's who you think, it's not for me to tell you that you're not a 6'5-inch Chinese woman.
	And he gave example after example, and they wouldn't, not a one of these students would condemn him, judge him, say he was wrong.
	And it has led to a great discussion on man, I'm out of time here.
	I got to take a break here, folks.
	Just hang it.
	Politico headline: Trump staffers face threat of blacklist.
	Some political operatives shying away from working for Trump for fear of being shunned by the establishment.
	Can anybody say, see, I told you so on this establishment stuff?
	I mean, they're circling the wagons here, folks.
	It's all what we're learning is that's not new.
