Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
All right.
All right.
I wonder, I wonder what the Trumpists are going to make of this.
Well, it's a Washington Post headline.
It's written by Robert Costa, who used to write for National Review, which means at one point he used to be a conservative, and may still be, I don't know.
Not that it matters.
I'm still going to the guy is.
He's got credibility, okay.
Headline.
You ready for this?
To counter Cruz's organization.
Donald Trump to personally court delegates at California and Virginia Republican conventions.
What do you make of this?
So Trump is going to start courting delegates out there.
That's not the only place where the story appears.
It's also at PMS NBC.
Trump adopts Cruise playbook in Delegate Hunt.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you with us.
It's Rush Lindbaugh, the EIB Network.
This is the nation's most listened to radio talk show, the most talked-about radio talk show I am host.
Great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushball at EIBNet.com.
What is happening today in these primaries?
And I look uh I'm not saying anything.
I never ever try to make people mad.
I never purposely try to irritate anybody.
And in fact, just the opposite.
But what's happening today, the end result today is not going to change much of anything.
Um because what really matters down the road is Indiana.
Indiana is what really matters, and nobody knows what's going to happen in Indiana.
Now, what happens today in these Northeastern primaries can impact what's going to happen in Indiana by virtue of creating media narratives and momentum and and and all of that.
But what's going to happen today is pretty much expected.
And I'll give you a good summary of what's going to happen today and what you can expect and what the analysis of it is going to be in uh in due course.
In addition, look at this headline.
I mean, there's all kinds of little nuggets out there.
Driven up the wall by Trump.
Mexico looks to recast its image in the U.S. This is a Reuters story.
Why?
Some might say whatever Trump is doing is already getting results.
Mexican officials, page two of this story, Mexican officials say that Republicans told them they will take care of Trump.
Well, let's see what this story has to say here.
At first, Mako's government did its best to ignore the Trumpster, and then it likened him to Adolf Hitler.
Now Mexico has appointed a new ambassador to come up with a better plan.
Fed up with the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, labeling Meiko as a cradle of drug runners, job poachers, and rapists.
The Mexican government is sending in respected diplomat Carlos Sada to lead a fight back.
Mexico's new ambassador in Washington, Sada acknowledges that his country has neglected its image across the border and aims to fix that with public relations and media campaigns and by lobbying prominent U.S. companies, lawmakers, and civic leaders.
This guy said after he was sworn in Mexico's Senate last week.
He said we need to do a more thorough job so that people understand what Mexico contributes.
Contributes.
Well, now wait a Mexico already feels the need for a PR offensive out here.
And I think Mexico, if you're going to be honest here about doing a more thorough job so that people understand what Mexico can contributes, you might want to also add to that what Mexico takes.
Because there's a lot of stuff flowing across the border.
Mexican officials say that U.S. politicians and officials have urged them to keep a low profile to avoid aggravating tensions and played down the Trump's uh chances here.
The Republicans thought this is a quote from a Mexican official.
The Republicans told us, quote, we'll deal with Trump.
One senior Mexican government official said speaking on condition of anonymity.
When uh Mexico eventually did respond, President Enrique Peñeto compared the brash billionaires campaign to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini.
You know people are losing touch when they do that.
I mean, that's of all the things you might want to compare the Trump campaign to come on.
This is this is Mexico's getting worried here.
The bottom line, Mexico's getting worried, driven up the wall by Trump.
Mexico looks to recast its image in the U.S. Now let's look at his delegate situation.
No, no, before we get to the delegate situation and show you how Trump is now starting to emulate what Cruz is doing.
And yes, we have the soundbite of the Trump supporter confronting Cruz, demanding to know how it is that he gets delegates in Colorado when nobody voted.
And Cruz tries to say 65,000 people did vote there.
Grassroots activists, and this Trumpist won't hear it.
This Trumpist doesn't want to hear one word of it.
It's kind of hard to hear from me because of the crosstalk and all the other noise.
Let's see if we can find out what it was.
Since yeah, grab soundbite number 12, 12 and 13.
This is how that happened.
This was uh yesterday, Columbus, Indiana.
It was during campaign event at an ice cream shop.
And Cruz is speaking with voters.
And during the QA, an unidentified woman, obviously a Trumpist, comes up and says, People haven't voted at a local level yet.
So how can you justify that?
How can you say that you are not the establishment candidate?
How can you get all these delegates when nobody voted?
Well, ma'am, thank you for that question.
Colorado 65,000 people.
And the people who voted for the grassroots audience is the exact opposite of the establishments.
conservative grassroots are overwhelmingly in Colorado the state that no vote was ever cast they just chose them.
Well 65,000 people.
Wyoming one of them no vote was ever cast.
The The problem was Donald Trump and his campaign said that no vote was cast in Colorado.
That's right.
I mean, there were votes cast in Colorado, but there wasn't a primary.
There were votes cast at the Republican convention.
There were votes cast for delegates.
You know, when you start throwing around terms like grassroots activists, I don't know how well that communicates what you're talking about.
You have a you have a committed Trumpist here who is is is persuaded already, is convinced that cheating has gone on.
And is she basically asking Cruz to explain how what has happened in Colorado isn't cheating?
And it's really easy to do.
But apparently it isn't easy to do.
So woman then said, How can you have delegates, Senator Cruz?
How in the world can you have delegates without a vote?
Every state sets up different rules.
I don't control the rules, but I can tell you.
The Washington family I've been fighting against every day.
Whether it is leading the fight against Obamacare or leading the fight against Amnesty.
I'm the one who's led the fight.
Donald Trump is the one who funded the gang of A that pushed for amnesty.
And Donald Trump, over four years of funding much of anything.
Well, I gave zero dollars to him, and I led the fight against it.
You had a fight against TPP, but yeah, the public in favor of it.
Ma'am, I'll have a respectful conversation with you.
That is my respect.
I'm asking you.
You fight on the wrong end.
That is my respect.
I'm asking you.
You fight on I you know this delegate stuff is so easy to explain to me.
I don't know why it escapes everybody here.
Cruz makes it, well, no, I I tough.
You know, I Cruz makes it almost comes off as that there's something that nefarious went on out there in Colorado and nothing did.
Uh but anyway, it's neither here to there to dice cast people believe what they believe, and there isn't any changing their minds.
Now, from the uh Washington Post to counter Cruz's organization, Trump to personally court delegates at California and Virginia conventions.
Trump, whose campaign has struggled in the delegate selection process, will appear at party conventions in California and Virginia later this week to personally court activists and address the gatherings, according to three people familiar with the plans.
Trump will stop by the Hyatt Regency near the San Francisco International Airport on Friday for the opening day of the California Republican State Convention, a day later, going to go to Harrisburg, Virginia, or Harrisonburg, Virginia for the Republican Party of Virginia's convention.
The Virginia Republican convention will be held at the James Madison University Convocation Center.
And in a Twitter message on Monday, the Scruwel said that there is no contact between the James Madison University and the Trump campaign.
It's just where the event is being held, but there's no contact.
The people who uh told everybody of Trump's still unannounced appearances and their impetus requested anonymity to discuss private conversations between state GOP leaders and Trump's top aides.
So Trump is going to start courting delegates now, which he has not done.
The MSNBC has the same story.
Trump adopts Cruz playbook in delegate hunt.
Donald Trump says the electoral college allocation is rigged, and Lion Ted Cruz is trying to steal the election by wooing supporters.
Then you'll read in these papers like the Washington Post, Trump with the delegates, he said before interrupting himself in Westchester, Pennsylvania.
But in Pennsylvania, 54 unbound delegates are elected directly by district and free to vote as they wish.
Trump is employing the same hunting playbook that Cruz has used for weeks.
And uh, and that is going straight after delegates.
I wonder what Trumpists think of this.
See, yeah, right, when you're in a rigged game, you have to, is that is that what they're gonna say?
When you're in a rigged game, you have to you have to play it with Lion Ted.
So it look, it's an acknowledgement that Lion Ted has been out there playing the game and is running ahead of Trump in this aspect of it.
Keep in mind, all we're talking about here is second and third ballots at the convention, not changing the way anything lines up on the first ballot.
Now, as for what's happening today, keeping today in perspective.
This is going to be a great day for Trump.
We got voters in Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.
172 delegates will be accounted for today.
Trump is expected to win all five of these primaries.
He is expected to win between 98 and 123 of the 172 delegates at stake.
But all of this is expected.
None of this is a surprise.
And winning these delegates is not going to add or increase Trump's chances of wrapping up the nomination.
All of the projections people are making of total delegate counts, say going into Indiana, then going into California, already include these.
So I'm not trying to tamp down spirit today.
I'm just trying to keep everything in perspective for you.
Whatever happens today has already been calculated in delegate projections.
It's already been factored, and it's all based on polling data.
And it's probably true.
He's going to get these delegates between 98 and 123.
They are already accounted for.
In other words, the delegates that Trump wins today are not surprise delegates, nobody expected, that get added to the list.
They're already in everybody's lists.
So what it means is that after today, the nomination is actually going to be determined by the 10 primaries left after today.
There are only 10 remaining after we finish these five today.
And of those 10, Indiana is the focus.
And Indiana is next week.
And there's drama there because nobody knows whether Trump or Cruz is going to win Indiana.
And Kasich is going to win.
is a wild card and is even more sporadic and wild cardish now.
I mean, nobody can keep track of what he's doing or saying.
One moment he says he's he doesn't want people to vote for him, and next moment he says he does want people to vote for him.
He's vetting vice presidential nominees.
We have this non-aggression pact that Kasich and Cruz have supposedly signed, but it's already beginning to fray.
But Scott Rasmussen says that there is an ironic footnote to the Northeastern primary, and that is this.
The very process that Trump claims is rigged against him is going to once again work to his benefit.
Trump's share of the delegates won today will almost certainly exceed his share of the vote.
And according to the latest calculations, Trump has earned 28% more delegates than his proratus share of the vote would deem appropriate.
Such as an example, New York.
Trump got 60% of the vote and 95 of the delegates.
They got many more delegates than you would think proportionate to the vote.
So it works both ways.
Now, of the 172 delegates that are available today, 118 of them will be formally pledged to a candidate on the first ballot.
And it doesn't matter who these delegates end up being.
We don't know who they are.
These delegates, some of them may have been chosen, these states may have had their conventions, some of them may have not.
We don't know who the delegates are, doesn't matter who they are, it doesn't matter what the delegates think.
118 of them are formally pledged to a candidate on the first ballot.
Trump should win between 98 and 106 of these.
So, again, not to tamp down anybody's spirit today, but what's on tap today has already been factored in to everybody's projections.
Trump's expected to sweep big.
And it's relevant in the sense that it could create even more momentum.
I mean, it's not good when you have five losses in a row like Cruz and Casey are going to experience today.
But at the same time, it doesn't constitute anything today happening that's unexpected.
So no surprises.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
Much more right after this.
Okay, so when you add it all up, this is the irony of Scott Rasmussen was talking about.
When you add it all up today, Trump is likely to win less than 50% of the vote today, but he's going to end up with between 57 and 72% of the delegates.
And nobody's going to complain because that's the rules.
That's the way it works out.
Nobody's whining about it.
It's just the way it happens.
But it's not going to tell us any more than we already know.
Not a lot, because all of this is already factored in.
Now I want to go back to this couple of sound bites that we played moments ago with the Trump supporter demanding of Cruz to know how in the world do you get any delegates when there haven't been any votes?
How does that work?
How do you get delegates when there haven't been any votes?
And I this is so hard for me.
I just seemed like a hanging curveball of a question.
But I think what's going on here.
Trump has succeeded in convincing people that Cruz is establishment.
And I think that's where this Cruz paralysis, if I can call it that, comes from.
Because the most surprising thing about all of this is that Cruz never ever, nobody did, factored, figured on running against Trump.
All along, Cruz was going to be running against the established.
Cruz was the anti-establishment candidate.
Cruz was the guy going to the floor in the Senate and calling out the Senate leadership.
Cruz was the guy explaining how the Senate operates, how nothing happens, and all that really is important and most of them is being re-elected, that they're not there to advance a party agenda or a, let's say, a conservative agenda.
And because of that, Cruz was prepared for the entire Republican Party to be a rayed against him.
And that's the way this was going to fall out.
Had Trump not gotten into this, Cruz would have been the outsider candidate and the Republican Party, everybody from Jeb to Marco, you name it, would have been aligned against Cruz, and he would have owned that outsider position.
He knew that they were going to use every means at their disposal to beat him.
So he knew he had to master the delegate rules in every state in order to have a chance to take these guys on.
He was just planning way ahead.
So what happens?
In the midst of all this planning, Trump comes along, co-opts the anti-establishment position almost to exclusive ownership.
All of the establishment candidates flop, and the only guy left standing who actually knows how the process works, because he had to know it if he was going to have any chance to win against the GOP is Cruz.
So Trump paints him as the establishment guy, even though Cruz is the quintessential anti-establishment guy, because he's the one who knows how their process works and how to beat them at their own game, which is what Cruz has been doing.
It is amazing the way this has all fallen out.
You know, I'm getting emails from people who want to know my thoughts on this whole situation with Kelly Rippa and that show that she's on with Strahan.
And I you're kidding?
You want to know what I think about this?
I am st this is a very, very important learning moment for me.
This has people up in arms.
So I do have thoughts on it, folks, because this is broadcasting.
It's inside baseball broadcast stuff.
And I have definite opinions on it.
I just didn't think anybody would give a rat's rear end, but apparently it's the opposite.
So I'll get into it as the program unfolds.
But I do, I I want to go back to this Cruz Trump situation.
I want to try to explain some things here to you, Trumpists.
Uh well, actually to everybody.
Because there's a lot of animosity that's being aimed at Cruz from Trump people, uh, allegations of cheating and all this kind of thing.
And I that that's really not what's happening here.
And I'm I'm going to go through this again because it's it's it's not relevant per se, because it's it's not, you know, I'm gonna talk about what was going to happen if Trump had not gotten in the race, and do so to try to explain to you what Cruz is doing.
What Cruz is doing is not targeting Trump.
Cruz's plan was drawn up long ago before Trump even got in the race.
So again, and that's what makes this so ironic and amazing about the Trump narrative that Cruz is cheating and that Cruz is establishment, because Cruz was going to be the anti-establishment candidate.
And he was going to be the only one.
And if you think back prior to last June, when Trump announced when Trump got in, prior to all that, Cruz was the he was the renegade.
He was the Republican in the Senate, but he was running against the Senate.
He was constantly running against the establishment.
He had this term for them, uh, the Washington cartel.
And he knew that he was reviled.
He knew he purposely had created this persona because he wanted to own the anti-establishment position.
He correctly identified the anti-establishment mood throughout the electorate.
And his purpose, his strategy was to become the champion of everybody in the anti establishment movement, anti Democrat establishment, anti Republican establishment.
Now, at the time Cruz is strategizing and putting together his plans and how he's going to win.
And stop and think of the monumental task here.
Here's a guy in the Senate, and what what is the conventional wisdom about Cruz?
Everybody hates him, right?
Nobody likes him in the Senate.
People have now used that to say, well, how can the guy govern?
I mean, gotta like people.
People have to like you to be able to make deals.
But before all of this, before the the uh current iteration of this campaign occurred, Cruz never ever figured on running against Donald Trump.
Nor did anybody else for that matter.
But it's important if you want to understand what Cruz is doing now, and you think it's aimed at Trump, it didn't start that way.
Ted Cruz planned on running against the establishment from the get-go.
As I say, he will he hoped to be the champion of every anti-establishment voter in the country, and he knew that the Republican Party, the entire Washington establishment would use every means at their disposal to beat him.
He knew it was a stacked deck, but he thought that there were enough voters supporting anti-establishment candidates that he could create a voting majority and win.
But he knew that he had to master the delegate rules in every state in order to have a chance to take these guys on.
Because remember now, the Republican Party, call them the establishment, whatever Democrats as well, they run everything.
Every procedure, every rule, the entire network, the power structure, they own it.
Here comes Cruz, the renegade, in his mind, the lone wolf running against it.
So he conceives this strategy that he thinks is the only way he can beat them at their own game, and that is mastering the delegate selection process.
This has been part of Cruz's strategy from the very beginning of his campaign.
It's not something that happened when Trump came along.
It's not something that happened because Trump came along.
It's not something it happened because Trump's campaign evolved the way it did.
It was one of the things that Cruz was going to have to do, among some others, if he had a chance of winning.
The delegates are chosen locally and at state levels.
And if you go into these state conventions early enough and make yourself friendly with all of these delegates, you can perhaps find people who are not part of the establishment to run as delegates, be chosen as delegates, and then therefore be supportive of you against the establishment.
And that's why Cruz was focusing so much on delegate selection and that process at all of these state conventions.
It was the only way that he thought, well, not the only, but it was a key element in defeating this giant monolith that is the establishment.
He knew the delegate game well, he knew the rules well, he knows how delegates are chosen, he knows delegate loyalty, he knows pledge delegates unbound, all of that.
He was always figuring on either a first ballot win or prevailing second and third ballot, but doing it with the delegates.
So he masters this.
So what happens if Trump comes along in the midst of all this, Trump comes along and from practically the get-go, assumes and occupies by himself the position of anti-establishment candidate.
The outsider, the genuine outsider.
Here comes Trump.
This upsets every plan Cruz had.
At the beginning of this, Trump is overwhelmingly popular.
If you recall, Cruz is not being critical of Trump.
He's not taking Trump on.
He's not campaigning against Trump.
He's on that.
He's positioning himself for what everybody thought was going to be the eventual Trump implosion.
So he's going out of his way not to irritate people that were that were uh excited about Trump because those were the people Cruz was going to need to win.
And he, again, was going to be the lone outsider.
Jeb wasn't going to be an outsider candidate, Marco wasn't going to be, Christie wasn't going to be.
None of the rest of that field of 16 people on the Republican side.
Maybe Ben Carson, but not really.
The rest of these guys, Huckabee, they're all in their own way, have ties to the establishment.
Cruz does too, but he's the only guy that had gone against them.
Well, Trump coming along is it just upset every plan that Cruz had.
But it didn't change one thing, and that is the way Cruz can win, and that's with delegates.
So Cruz has stayed loyal to his plan of securing as many delegates as he can at all of these state conventions while nobody else has been playing this game.
Because Cruz figured it was the key element to his beating the establishment.
So Trump comes along.
The establishment candidates, Jeb and Marco and the rest totally flop.
They can't get supported by anybody.
They're at one percent, they're at 2%, 3%.
They're just dying out there.
And Trump is running away with it.
The only guy left standing after Jeb and all the rest of the guys implode and get out of the race.
The only guy left standing who actually knows how the process works is Cruz.
Because again, he had to know it if he was going to have any chance of beating the Republican establishment.
So Trump comes along and does something very smart.
He paints Cruz as the establishment candidate.
And attempts to own and occupy the outsider position.
And he really is outsider compared to me.
He's not elected to anything.
He is not any in any way, shape, manner, or form an official of any party, not officially tied to any party, so it's very well, it's much easier for Trump to actually make the claim, particularly to low information voters and others who are just now starting to get interested to being the genuine outsider, the genuine anti-establishment.
Whereas Cruz, well, he's in the Senate.
He says he's anti-established, says he's outsider, but he's still in the Senate.
I mean, you know the way the rest of this fell out.
So Trump paints him as the establishment guy.
Even though Cruz is paradigm anti-establishment.
Cruz personifies it, folks.
Cruz personifies running against the entrenched elites of both parties.
He had this grand strategy all played out.
He ends up being the only guy left who knows how the process works.
And he's now accused of cheating and gaming the system and so forth, when that's not at all what's happening.
He just was ahead of the curve on everybody else in understanding this local and state delegate selection process again, because it was the well, what if maybe not the only, but it was a fundamentally important ingredient to Cruz's path to victory.
So it's it's it's I'm sure for Cruz, it's maddening the way this is played out.
It's maddening for everybody in the establishment candidate ranks who couldn't get more than one, two, three percent.
Everybody's been discombobulated by this.
But at least Cruz is still in and is still implementing and executing his strategy.
It's just now that it appears to be Cruz implementing a strategy against Trump, and the Trumpists are taking that personally, thinking that Cruz is cheating, when all Cruz is doing is executing the grand strategy he conceived way back before Trump even got into this as the way he was going to beat the GOP establishment.
I got to take a break here.
We've got calls coming up, and I'm gonna revisit the audio sound bites of Cruz being confronted by the Trumpist, demanding Cruz explain how he's getting delegates with nobody voting.
Because we got some calls that want to bounce off that.
So hang on.
We'll be right back and keep rolling here.
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
We're gonna start on the phones with Sean today.
Sean, welcome.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Hello.
Thank you for taking my call, Mr. Limbaugh.
You better upset the way today.
You're just dismissing the importance of what's happening here in Pennsylvania on the East Coast.
I mean it's You say it's no big deal at all expected.
Well, three months ago you were telling us kind of feeling that today you make it fifty percent in Pennsylvania maybe get fifty percent all across the board or more that vote tonight.
I just think it's you're dismissing this movement as a it's irrelevant.
Like oh, it's just expected.
Let's move on to talk about Ted Cruz and his old strategy.
I just I don't get it.
Uh uh I feel you're dismissing us.
Uh uh No, no, no, no, no.
No, I'm it it it's quite the opposite.
I'm trying to show you a profound amount of respect and treat you as though you have a very high level of understanding of what's going on here.
I'm not trying to diminish anything.
I'm not trying to diminish anybody's accomplishments.
I'm not trying to ballyhoo anybody's accomplishments or or di or or hide anybody's failures.
The only thing I said was that Trump's gonna sweep.
He's gonna have five wins today, and it's expected.
He's going to perform as expected.
That's a positive.
And as such, what Trump is going to come away with today in terms of delegates has been factored in.
You know, everybody's out there calculating.
Can Trump get to 1237?
And everybody's running their numbers.
My only point was that in the calculations that people are making about whether or not Trump get 1237, they're already factoring in Trump winning today.
Nothing that happens today would be a surprise unless Trump loses.
Which isn't gonna happen.
So the delegate that the the the range of delegates that Trump is going to get today is between 98 and 130, and that range has been factored and added to Trump's current tally, as people, the experts and their experts everywhere here, are projecting whether or not Trump can get to 1237 before the convention.
Um what the only point I make about Indiana is it's not known how Indiana's gonna fall out yet.
The polling in Indiana has been sporadic.
Uh and it's it's a it's uh a lot of factors that that are going into in Indiana that are that are hard to calculate yet.
But these five states today it's known what's gonna happen.
We've discussed the delegate allocation process in Pennsylvania.
That there are ninety-some odds, seventeen pledged, fifty-four unbound.
Also in Pennsylvania, the names of the delegates are on the ballot, but you don't know for whom you're voting in uh in some districts, some precincts.
But no, no, no, no.
I'm not trying to diminish anything, and I'm not trying to say what's happening in Pennsylvania is not important.
It's just it's already known.
Or it's pretty much assumed that it is it is known.
And so at the end of tonight, in terms of hard cold reality, there isn't going to be anything unexpected.
There isn't going to be anything new.
It's already been factored.
However, I did say, and I will say it again.
Talked about it yesterday.
Narratives.
Narratives have replaced news.
We don't have news anymore.
We have narratives.
We have templates, we have stories.
And so pro-Trump media is going to treat this tonight like it is just the greatest thing.
It's mana from heaven.
And it's more unexpected, and it's Trump slam dunk, and it's going to be treated that way.
My only point, I'm trying to help you keep perspective here.
That's all.
Not diminish, suppress anything.
You know, I'm the mayor of Realville here.
And that means I am um I am Mr. Literal.
Uh don't be offended, Sean.
It's it's quite the exact opposite.
I'm I'm assuming that you're up to speed on all this stuff, and understand that we got ten left after today.
And those ten, I can say where you get a offended.
You're hearing me say your state doesn't count, ten states yet to vote do count more.
I'm not saying that.
It's just what's going to happen in Pennsylvania is largely known.
And the only surprise of me is if what everybody thinks is going to happen doesn't.
And we'll find out, but uh we'll talk tomorrow, see if there's any upset apple cart, but I bet there there probably isn't going to be.
I was going to grab another phone call here quickly, but my diarrhea of the mouth uh has forced me here to talk into what would have been a fair amount of time for the next caller.
So there's nobody up there that's only worth 30 seconds.
So I'll take a brief time out.
We'll come back and add to this when we get back.
Don't go away.
Yeah, let's let's run with it.
We have a Kelly Ripper soundbite here from this morning, live with Kelly and Michael.
And uh she got her feelings hurt that uh Strayham was going to Good Morning America, and I didn't tell her, so she goes, AWOL, just leaves, just walks off the set.
Sorry.
I know that's insensitive.
Anyway, she's back to what she said.
What transpired, though, over the course of a few days has been extraordinary, in the sense that it started a much greater conversation about communication and consideration, and most importantly, respect in the workplace.
Hey, yeah, that's where the standing oh.
Yes, sir!
Give her a standing oh.
What a respect in the workplace.
Anyway, um.
So hang in there.
