Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, those who are not protesters.
See, that's this is this is how it works.
You have a bunch of left wing, probably George Soros bought and paid for rent of mob members, and maybe even some illegals in the crowd, and they start destroying police cars.
Meanwhile, it's Trump has the image in his people riot and other people protest.
That was a riot last night.
There was no protesting going on whatsoever.
It was bought and paid for, and it was all a scam.
Right.
What are we talking about here?
Greetings, friends, and great to have you here as we wrap up yet another exciting busy broadcast week.
From the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, Rush Limbaugh from the EIB Southern Command, but remember, as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
The telephone number if you want to be on the program on Open Line Friday.
And by the way, we and another name for Open Line Friday is Have At Me Friday.
I know a lot of people, well, it's it's it's what it is.
Many of you remain angry, frustrated, puzzled, what have you.
And open line Friday, do what you want, talk about what you want.
That's what it's for.
You send an email, the email address, L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
I have a question here to make a point.
How many, how many people at a rally supporting Trump would have to be injured for this president or say Hillary Clinton to condemn it.
I mean, here you have a riot that took place.
There was no, and there hasn't yet been any condemnation of it.
In fact, the media is all at Twitter, and everybody's all excited about it because they're trying to portray this as a bunch of God-fearing minorities and lower middle class people scared to death, terrified of Donald Trump, refusing it.
That's not what went on.
You had an actual anti-Trump riot.
They want you to believe that this is how pro-Trump people believe.
In the meantime, it's anti-Trump people, they call them protesters, but it was not protesters.
It was it was a riot.
And what what what is happening at the same time?
This administration lets tens of thousands of prisons release illegals back onto the streets.
Illegals who have serious crime records, criminal records.
They are keeping borders open.
Drudge has a story today that the flood continues, and it's not a weather flood.
It's a human flood of illegal immigrants continuing in greater and greater numbers to cross the southern border.
And the regime applauds it and does everything they can to keep those borders open.
The border patrol guys tell you that they're under orders to do nothing.
We bring in unvetted refugees from the Middle East who have no intention of assimilating.
We ignore voter intimidation by the new Black Panther Party in Philadelphia back in 2008.
The administration turns the IRS loose on law-abiding everyday Americans that happen to be members of the Tea Party.
We have a culture rotting away right before our very eyes.
And we have this thing that happens at the Trump event last night in Costa Mesa that nobody's condemning, and in fact, many people are looking for ways to applaud and mischaracterize it as a legitimate, and that's important point, legitimate.
Trump protest when that's not uh what it was.
That's left wing bought and paid for violence on demand.
Now, big news out of Indiana is that the governor, Mike Pence, is parentheses, finally, close parentheses, going to endorse Ted Cruz.
A lot of people, a lot of conservatives, a lot of Republicans in Indiana have been where's Pence.
Why won't Pence endorse?
I mean, there's no question Pence because it should endorse it be Cruz.
And a lot of people had their noses out of joint earlier when the governor met with Kasich, who has supposedly entered into an accord with Cruz to take himself out of Indiana.
But they are they're milking this endorsement for everything they can they can get out of it.
What's going to be interesting to me to see?
I mean, the endorsement is what it is, and it's a fate accomplish.
And it could matter.
You know, the polls in Indiana, we don't know.
The latest poll I've seen shows that uh what is it?
Let me check.
Just to make sure that I have this, right?
Latest polling data that I have heard.
Uh Trump has a uh two to three-point lead that is narrowing.
It was a bigger lead.
It is narrowing.
Some people claim that uh Cruz has gained some ground with the Fiorina pick in Indiana.
And now we have uh Pence endorsing today, so people thinking this might help to put uh Cruz over the top and give him some much needed momentum, because the conventional wisdom is that Cruz needs to win Indiana by a significant margin to uh negate or erase or shift the momentum away from Trump's massive five-state landslide last week.
Well, this week, Tuesday.
So the interesting thing to me will be to see after the endorsement.
What do you think, Snerdley?
Do you think Pence will campaign with Cruz actually go out on the campaign trail with him?
That'll be a big thing to watch.
I have no idea.
Don't know if it's gonna happen or not.
It would certainly be helpful.
Pence is respected and revered in Indiana.
And it's it's uh it's an endorsement, a gubernatorial endorsement that does carry weight.
Some endorsements, of course, uh don't matter anymore.
Newspaper endorsements don't matter much, if at all, and even some political personality endorsements don't carry the weight that they used to, but Pence could.
Uh given his uh reputation and his uh success uh in Indiana.
On the other side, you have Trump, who was endorsed by uh by Bobby Knight.
And Bobby Knight said that he doesn't know if Trump is a Republican or Democrat, and he doesn't even know what a conservative is.
Bobby Knight doesn't know.
Is a conservative a guy that goes to bed early?
Is it a conservative guy who goes to bed too early or goes to bed too late and doesn't get enough sleep?
I don't really know what a conservative is.
Uh I have a I have a Bob Knight story.
I don't know if it's relevant.
I don't know.
I've been debating all day whether or not to detail it because it might have some relationship to his comments about not knowing whether Trump is a Republican or Democrat and not knowing what a uh conservative is.
That that surprised me based based on what everybody's popular conception of Bobby Knight is.
They think he's a conservative.
Now he's out there saying he doesn't know what one is.
He's not political.
I mean, he's not, he doesn't, he's not ideological to the sense that he wears it on his sleeve.
But many people just assume by the way he lives his life the way he coached that the value base that he holds, the value system he has might be.
I don't want to get in trouble.
I can be all wet on this.
If you people in Indiana know that he's a whatever I just I'm covering my basis here by allowing that I I could be all wet, but remember I have just a tiny little personal contact with uh Bob Knight.
It was a golf tournament.
No, because no, I'm I I might tell you later on the program.
It doesn't matter anything now.
I might tell you later on in the in the program.
Has he endorsed yet?
Yes, okay, finally.
He's uh he's endorsed, sat there waiting for a while, had the TV cameras gathering, and um well, you know, there was never certainty until it actually happened.
He could have gone in there and endorsed Trump.
There were some people thinking that could have happened.
What do you think went away?
Mike Tyson.
Trump uh uh Trump gets endorsed by Tyson.
Tyson gets praised by by Trump.
And people said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Tyson was convicted of uh rape in uh India.
You sure you want to uh you sure you want to go there?
Doesn't it's not gonna affect the uh the Trump patriots trying out new names for Trumpists here.
Wouldn't believe the number of suggestions.
Uh, what else do we have?
Uh let me give some headlines here, and then we go to the audio sound bites.
From the political, why Ted Cruz loves to be hated.
I can tell you there isn't a single person I have ever met or read about who wanted to be hated, who grew up wanting to be hated, who cultivated being hated.
Now, you might have some mass murderers and some insane lunatic tyrants who uh uh took great pride in being feared, but I mean hated.
That's that's nobody's raised to want to be hated, and that's why so few people know how to deal with it when they end up being hated.
It can destroy people to be hated.
Everybody wants to be loved by everybody.
Most people try to mask who they really are in order to be liked.
Most people think that there's something wrong with them, and that everybody else can see it, so they try to cover it up and figure out who they're talking to, uh, what that person they're told wants them to be, and then be it, everybody wants to be liked.
And here comes a story why Ted Cruz loves being hated.
I'm sorry, don't believe it.
But we'll get to it.
GOP elites are now resigned to Donald Trump as their nominee.
That is the, as Newt says, Washington Post.
Los Angeles Times, here we have protests.
Rage outside Trump rally in Orange County was in Costa Mesa.
17 arrested, police cars smashed.
Yep, yep, sounds like a protest to me.
How many police cars get trashed, smashed at protests?
It was a riot, and it was bought and paid for by Democrat fundraisers.
Another political story.
Poll, Republican disapproval at its highest since 1992.
Why did they choose 1992?
Well what would have been noteworthy about polling data on Republican approval disapproval in 1992.
Well, yeah, the Clinton election, but it was also shortly after read my lips, no new taxes.
That's why they get back and go back in 1992.
Of course, Republicans are ticked off in 1992.
Read my lips, no new taxes, and then here came the tax increase.
And remember, that was supposed to be the third term of Reagan.
And let's not forget, two years later, the Republicans won the House for the first time in 40 years in a national landslide.
So this is bogus.
GOP disapproval higher since 1992.
And you might think it's aimed at Trump, but it's not just Trump, it's Cruz, too.
Insiders, another political story.
Clinton would crush Trump in November.
Oh, you know what I can't believe.
No, I can believe it.
I'm sorry.
I I'm I'm having to make adjustments here.
Um culturally generalization generally generationally as I get older.
And Hillary's put out this stupid woman card.
You know, Trump accused her playing the woman card, so Hillary thinks she's clever.
And she's selling woman cards, little pink woman cards that are the size of credit cards, selling them, fundraising off them for a dollar.
And the idea is that women all across the fruited plain are profoundly offended by Trump's claiming that Hillary played the women card.
And this has been the focus of a lot of news coverage this morning.
The drive-by networks, CNN, Fox, I don't watch MSNBC, but I'm assuming they've done it too, have had discussion groups in and expert analysts to talk about what This all means, and how clever was it of Hillary and the campaign to quickly produce these woman offended cards or whatever.
And it from what I saw, it's going to backfire because most women, or a lot of women, resent being thought of as monolithic and all on the same side as Hillary Clinton, and all offended by what Trump said, and incapable of dealing with it.
So they got to go out and get a card establishing their memberhood in the sisterhood, membership of the sisterhood about being offended because Trump said something about Hillary.
So Trump says something about Hillary playing a woman card, and every woman in America is supposed to be righteously indignant, righteously offended, and hurt, so much so that they go out and buy for one dollar a Hillary Offended card.
Trump's gender-based attacks on Hillary have calculated risk.
This is the New York Times details, of course, uh coming up.
And then I was watching CNN today and doing a segment on delegate controversies, delegate selection controversies, and how delegates vote and how they're chosen and so forth.
And by the way, Curly Hoagland is back yet again, this unbound delegate in North Dakota, and he is saying again, he's saying, look at you, Trump people have got to understand.
Even if you think, by virtue of election results in the primary, if you think that you have 1237 or even more.
Before we get to the convention, you had better stop thinking that because those are just preliminary, and they are certified and judged to be legal, relevant, permissible at the convention.
Remember, this is the guy who said, You people are being misled by the media.
Media makes you think you choose the nominee.
You don't, we do.
Meaning RNC officials.
And he's warning again, 1237.
It does not mean he's got to get 1237 after he gets to the convention and after we inspect all of those 1237.
Some of them may not be legal.
Some of them may not hold up to challenges.
It's just an estimate right now.
The hard number we won't know, says Curly.
Anyway, I watched a Trumpist TV, what do you got, talking supporter, Scotty Nell Hughes, I think is her name, and Bob Barr, former member of Congress, if Georgia, he's a delegate in Georgia.
It was the funniest thing.
It was she is so convinced that this delegate thing has been rigged, and she thinks that she's going to expose Barr as a cheater and a fraud and starts interrogating him.
You have to hear it.
I don't want to characterize it beyond that.
But I have to take a brief obscene profit break right now.
First one of the busy broadcast today.
We will be back and continue after this.
Peter King, just uh hashing through the headlines here, folks.
Peter King, Congressman from Long Island, quote, I fully agree with Boehner.
In fact, maybe he gives Lucifer a bad name by comparing Lucifer to Ted Cruz.
We've got audio of Boehner, by the way.
Let me find us.
Grab audio soundbite number seven.
This is Boehner on Wednesday at Stanford University.
He's uh being interviewed by a professor emeritus of history out there by the name of David Kennedy, who said, uh, Mr. Speaker, what is your opinion of some of the people running for president?
How about Ted Cruz?
Lucifer in the flesh.
Washington, I'm saying don't prefer Republican friends, like almost everybody.
But I have never worked with a more miserable son of a B.I. itch than Ted Cruz, never.
Now, over my dead body will he be president.
Here's a guy who has no problem working with Harry Reed or Pelosi or Van Holland or any of these extreme leftists in the House of Representatives, or even over in the Senate.
And here's Peter King.
This was uh CNN yesterday.
Uh Wolf Blitzer, what is your take on the latest dispute between John Boehner and Ted Cruz?
You know both these guys.
What's the scoop?
I fully agree with John Boehner.
And maybe he gives Lucifer a bad name by comparing him to Ted Cruz.
Listen, what John Boehner was most concerned about was Ted Cruz perpetrated fraud and a hoax when he brought about the shutdown of the government on some kind of a vague promise that he was going to be able to take Obamacare out of the budget or to end Obamacare.
Ted Cruz knew that it was never going to work, but he went ahead and did it anyway, shut down the government, cost the government money, served no purpose whatsoever, other than to boost his name identification.
So I agree with John Boehner on that.
All right, see, now you get if you stick with this stuff long enough, you find out what really animates these people and what really bugs them.
And what really bugs them is that Cruz shut down the government.
And if you know one thing, know this.
The Republican Party in Washington, establishing whatever you want to, they fear government shutdown.
They feared that more than they fear anything because of the 1995 budget deal and repeated attempts to shut down the governments.
They are scared of media, they're scared of the Democrats.
They think that's why they're losing, is because they've talked about shutting down the governor.
Cruz did it.
We will be back.
You know, it's it's interesting to again be reminded.
It's great to see just how insane Republican established people are driven, just talking about, just remembering a government shutdown.
Now, the grievance that Peter King has with with Cruz is it's very simple.
They don't believe that Cruz was serious about stopping Obamacare.
Because they're not.
Here's the rub, folks.
The Republican establishment has never been about stopping Obama.
It's never been about stopping up Obamacare.
Now, 2010, when it was passed, they didn't have the votes anyway.
So you can't hold it against them in 2000.
There's nothing they could have done.
They couldn't have stopped it in the original vote.
They didn't have enough votes in the House.
So, and the Senate was a lost cause anyway.
But after the midterms in 2010, it was an entirely different.
I mean, that the House was taken back, got a majority, got control back precisely because the Tea Party, precisely because Obama's spinning, precisely because of Obamacare, and the Republican establishment.
They just didn't want to work.
It's hard being the opposition.
It's hard trying to style first African American president that they think is universally loved and adored.
wanted no part of it.
The Republican establishment is not ideological.
So they don't view Obama as a radical leftist doing great damage.
He's just the latest Democrat to be in office.
And it's something that, hey, they've got their jobs.
Boehner was still speaker, and they've still got the committee chairmanships, and they've got the perks and all that, and then uh don't rock the boat.
Just don't rock the vote.
And in reliving this, I get so damn mad because it's not a question of rocking the vote.
They took no advantage of that massive landslide midterm election victory that you all gave them.
Winning back the House of Representatives to do whatever they could do to delay or stop or defund partially Obamacare, and not a finger other than lip service, a bunch of phony votes that had no weight behind them whatsoever.
Then we learn that Obama's IRS is defrauding Tea Party groups, not granting them tax exempt status.
I mean, it was raw what was going on.
It was it was not Just political thuggery.
It was the it was it was statutory violation of law, and they still wouldn't say anything.
Didn't want to rock the boat.
We know all the reasons race, Obama's race, fear of the media.
So here came Cruz, who was dead serious.
He had been elected by people after promising them that he would do what he could to stop Obamacare.
And he does what he can do.
And imagine a single guy was able to shut down the government.
Wow.
Pretty impressive.
I'd be bragging about it if I were Cruz.
But nevertheless, you get guys like Peter King and Batman.
Oh no!
Oh my God!
Oh, don't do that.
You're gonna kill us all.
We're sitting here.
We're in good shape.
We're not making anybody mad.
Obama's getting what he wants.
We can't stop him anyway.
What are you doing, Cruz?
Don't do this.
You're gonna make us all over.
And then they shut down again.
Oh no, the absolute.
You talk about Lucifer, you talk about showing Dracula the cross.
And then you add to it the fact that they believe Cruz was just showboating, that he never really intended to do anything about Obamacare.
Because in their minds, there was nothing that could be done.
They didn't even want to try.
As a majority party, I'm sure you've got individual Republicans in the House and Senate.
But in terms of how the leadership dictated the political action in both houses, there was no serious effort to defund or stop or derail or delay Obamacare.
So Cruz came along and actually did it, and they think that he is a phony baloney, plastic man had a good time rocking and rolling because in their minds there was no way anybody could ever do it.
And Cruz knew that.
So he was selfish.
He went in there and he shut down the government only to prepare everybody for this, his presidential run.
And he used them and he used the House and he used the Senate and he made all these Republicans look bad, engaging in something that everybody knew was no way possible.
And so they hate him.
They hate him because they don't think he's genuine.
They hate him because they think he's disingenuous.
They hate him because they think he's phony.
They hate him because they think he betrayed him.
They hate him because they think he made him look bad.
They hate him because they think he knew from top to bottom there was no way anything was going to be done to stop Obamacare.
So he goes in there and shuts the government down selfishly, knowing full well in their minds, how damaging it is to the Republican Party.
But see, that's the rub.
It's not.
It's only in their minds that government shutdowns hurt them.
and in the media.
It's the only power Congress has to stop anything.
The power of the purse is the only thing.
And they and they telegraphed to Obama they weren't going to impeach him, they were not going to do it.
Anything to stop him.
You know, let me remind you, a year after the 2013 government shutdown, do you even remember that one?
You know, these things are supposedly so tragic.
They are they are so upsetting, so damaging.
The government shutdowns, oh my God, the absolute worst thing could ever happen to Republicans.
Do you remember the 2013 government shutdown?
Do you remember it?
Do you remember what it was about?
Do you remember when it took place?
I bet you don't.
But let me tell you what happened after it happened.
What came after 2013?
There was a government shutdown in 2013.
The Republicans didn't want it, but it happened.
What happened in 2014?
After the government shut down in 2013, what happened?
Don't bother looking it up.
You know what it is.
You just can't remember.
I'll tell you, another landslide, midterm election victory.
Now, how the hell is that possible?
We have a government shutdown, Republican-sponsored, 2013.
They hate Cruz for it.
Phony baloney, never going to stop Obamacare.
Cruz knew it.
Shut down the government for what?
Almost two weeks.
10, 12, 15 days, whatever.
And a year later, the Republicans win the Senate back.
A year later, the Republicans with another landslide in the midterms.
And yet the Republican establishments are running around fretting and wringing their hands over government shirt down, being responsible for their demise.
And yet Republicans came out and once again delivered a midterm election, landslide victory for the Republicans.
There's no evidence that the government shutdown of 2013 did any damage.
And they but they go back, just just like the idea, the thought of a conservative nominee makes them think of Barry Goldwater and a landslide loss.
Well, government shutdown, oh my God.
All they can think about is 1995, where they think Clinton ran rings around in the school lunch cuts that was that budget.
There was a government shutdown that Newt was in charge of.
You want to know the truth about that government shutdown?
Republicans were not damaged at all by that one either in elections that followed.
They were damaging the media.
We gotta admit, the media went out and called them all kinds of names, and the media threatened them, and the media told people that the government's uh Republicans hate government, and Republicans don't want you getting your welfare check, and the Republicans don't want you getting this, and they don't want you getting that benefit.
You see, other media does do that when the government shut down, the media runs out and tells people that there's no reason to live.
In fact, you may not be able to live.
Governments just got shut down.
Republicans shut down the government.
You might die, is what the media does.
And rather than Republicans standing up and calling that out as a bunch of literal crap, they play along with it acts scared to death and end up ceding CED, I and G all kinds of power to the Democrats and to Obama.
And all Cruz did was fulfill some campaign promises to people that voted for him in Texas.
And other promises he'd made to other Republicans nationwide, because he was serious about stopping Obamacare.
His big shock was when he got to Washington and found out nobody else was serious.
I've had him tell me.
I've had him tell me how stunned he was.
It didn't take him long to learn how stunned he was when he actually got elected Senate and arrived there to find out how little any of them really cared about very many of the things that Cruz had campaigned on.
What he found out was that the single most important thing day to day is re-election, which means scheduling fundraisers and uh PR events and sponsoring certain kinds of legislation designed to promote re-election.
So in their minds, Cruz is phony.
He knew there was no way of stopping Obamacare, but he wanted to do it for his own selfish reasons, and he shut down the government and the president.
And for that, he's Satan.
And these clowns don't even have the wherewithal to actually understand that that government shutdown didn't hurt them.
And the media, yeah, and I it goes back to talk about nobody wants to be hated, everybody wants to be loved.
That's the Republicans.
They want to be loved by the media.
They want to be respected by the media.
So Cruz comes along and shuts down the government, and they, well, we just got to sit back, we're just making inroads here, and just the media was just starting to like us, just starting to give us respect after 20 years, and here comes Cruz blowing its guy high.
Now we're hated again.
They never gave one iota's worth of a thought of joining him.
So Cruz is uh out on this island by himself.
And I think you look at what Cruz has done.
I mean, you might look at last Tuesday in this five-state sweep, yeah.
But you look at the forces that are arrayed against Ted Cruz compared to the forces arrayed in favor of and for Donald Trump.
And it is striking to me that Cruz has done as well as he has, given what he's up against.
I'm not trying to create sympathy for him, Nor would he accept it.
I'm just trying to give you a factual analysis here of what he's had to deal with.
He's doing the best he can with the odds that he's with the deck that he's been dealt and a hand that he's been dealt.
He wouldn't complain about it, nor is it going to get you anywhere, and I'm not complaining either, but I just I think people need to stop and and reflect.
You can't turn on a cable news network without finding the vast majority of any fawning over Trump.
By the way, did you see the story by Campbell Brown earlier this week?
She's a former Today show host, and she was an infobabe at CNN.
She's married to Dan Seynour.
The Republican guy who worked with uh the guy that ran Iraq in the green zone after we got out of there after we cleaned her clock with the Bush invasion of Iraq.
Paul Paul Bremer, he worked for he worked, he was the spokesman for Paul Bremer.
Anyway, married Campbell Brown and got hitched.
That's just who she is.
She had a piece this week.
She says she's appalled at what's become of the media.
She can't, she's embarrassed.
And she said, but I'm not going to blame Trump.
I'm going to blame the media.
And she thinks it's the end of media as everybody's known it.
She thinks it's the end of reporting.
She says it appalls her that doesn't matter what network.
Trump does a live event and they cover the whole damn thing as though Trump has bought the time, and there's no reporting of it.
There's no analysis.
The reporters are there, but they just do stand-ups in front of the massive crowd.
She says he's never seen this before.
He's never seen whole rallies, hour, hour and a half, be televised.
And she said the reason is with so much media fragmentation, Trump simply means ratings, and he means dollars, advertising dollars.
And she went so far as to say, maybe it wasn't her, maybe but somebody else that was so far to say that it it it may be so profound that the media will not swing to Hillary after the conventions, that they're going to stay with Trump because they love the focus of attention Trump is bringing all of them.
I don't know.
But I thought her observation of what has happened to the media.
Look, I'm long here.
I've got to take a break.
Sit and be right back.
Okay, I want to get a call in.
Always try.
They get a call to the first hour on open line Friday.
This is Rose in Flint, Texas.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
Mega Dittoes from East Texas, the tiny woods, and God's country.
We love you out here.
Appreciate that very much.
I've been listening to you since the day after the presidential election in 2008.
I couldn't believe the results, and I needed hope.
And I thank you for the hope that you've given us.
Thank you very much, Red.
I love your books.
Love your books.
They're just wonderful.
Um I just want to thank you for your comments on Ted Cruz's.
I was telling Mr. Snerdley.
Um, I am a cruiser, uh, and I can tell you that when he ran for Senate four years ago, he was saying the exact same things.
He has not changed, he has not wavered.
And he has done what he said he was gonna do.
And I think he really should take Peter King's words, and maybe Boehner's too, but definitely Peter King's, about how he single-handedly shut down the government.
I don't think he was aware that he was such a powerful man.
And not even being yet the leader of the free world.
Can you imagine once elected if he's that powerful now?
Yeah, you know, I was I I read I read that subject line on your on your call sheet here that uh that's what Snertley said you wanted to.
And so it's a great point.
Uh and I'm I'm thinking, though, you know, with so many people, you don't know the number of just average ordinary run-of-the-mill Republicans, not elected, just out there.
The moderates, they're they're just as scared as government shutdown stuff as they are the social issues.
You know, so I I you know, let uh how to deal with this uh I don't know.
It's a it's a touchy thing.
I I think Cruz is eminently praiseworthy for it.
Um but Rose, thanks for the call.
I really appreciate it.
I want to get a couple of bites in from Pence.
Mike Pence, Governor Indiana and his endorsement.
Soundbite's 2930.
Here is the first one.
I like and respect all three of the Republican candidates in the field.
I particularly want to commend Donald Trump, who I think has given voice to the frustration of millions of working Americans with a lack of progress in Washington.
And I'm also particularly grateful that Donald Trump has taken a strong stand for who's your Jobs when we saw jobs and uh the carrier company abruptly announced leaving Indiana, not for another state, but for Mexico.
I'm grateful.
I'm grateful for his voice in the national debate.
And let me say I've come to my decision about who I'm supporting, and I'm not against anybody, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary.
