Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yeah, well, once again, I got the audio soundbite roster today, and I'm in total shock.
And I'm totally surprised.
I had no idea that a little monologue of mine has made up so much of cable news fodder since the program ended yesterday.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you with us as always.
You know, the weeks always go by faster when you don't work one of the days.
Like this this I can't believe it's already Wednesday, but it is.
It's great to have you here.
The telephone number is 800 28288 to the email address lrushbo at EIB net.com.
Okay, so Bill Crystal has named his um his uh is is i third party godsend uh to save us all from Trump is David French, a writer at National Review.
Why not Jonah Goldberg?
Why not Andrew McCarthy?
I mean, there's a lot of writers I do.
French is a good guy, I don't know him.
I've read his stuff, I've cited his stuff on this program.
He's a uh lawyer, lives in Tennessee somewhere.
Um we'll have more discussion on this.
Is obviously not being done for French to actually win.
There's something else going on.
Uh why doesn't Crystal run him?
Oh no, no.
He's above that.
I mean, Crystal is a candidate.
What a step down.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Crystal is a manager of events and people and results.
He's not a contestant.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Um also John Funn tweeted out that the um the libertarian uh godsend, the libertarian uh mighty mouse save the day character has got $15,000 in the bank.
Uh what's his name?
Gary Yeah, yeah, Gary Johnson.
Don't folks, I'm not I'm not mocking here.
I'm not don't misunderstand tone in my voice.
I've I'm just I'm just sharing with you the data.
Uh Funn tweets that he's $15,000 in the bank and is $307,000 in debt or some such thing, or has had $307,000 in FEC fines.
The point is, these third party candidates don't have anything.
But if you know, if if for example, what what if Hillary isn't the nominee?
And what if what if what if Hillary somehow uh if they take Hillary out before the Democrat convention, then they almost have to give it to Crazy Bernie, which they don't want to do.
If they take Hillary out, like if she if she gets indicted with the FBR, some such thing as that.
Or if Obama finally uh lowers the boom, however that would happen after the convention, then they can maybe plug in plugs.
Plug in Biden after the convention, after Bernie's people have disbanded, there's nothing to protest, burned down uh whatever.
If you have you have three or four people in the race and these independent guys, remember they're not there to win.
They're just there to disrupt and and maybe pull off a couple other objectives.
Uh the crystal third party guys, they're designed to stop Trump.
However, the third party uh Gary Johnson libertarian designed to stop Trump.
Notice nobody's designing stop Hillary here.
That's the thing that's that's concerning to me.
Anyway, there's all kinds of scenarios that we'll go uh over as the program unfolds uh today.
The Zika virus, Obama already wants 1.9 million dollars to fight this virus.
Yeah.
One point no, 1.9 billion.
Obama's requested 1.9 billion.
So you have to start asking a me, who benefits here?
You know, this is so typical.
You you you you create a crisis, you you take what what may be a disease out there, we don't really know.
This is the thing.
This is the we don't we're prisoners to what they tell us.
And we got a deadly disease out there, deadly to children.
Oh no!
Oh no, don't have time to ask whether this is true or not.
We don't have to have time, we don't have time to ask uh or have time to investigate whether or not we're being spun here.
This is a potentially deadly disease, so We must stop it, we must stop it because it's aiming at our children.
Oh no, oh no.
And 1.9 billion.
And did you hear how Obama sold this?
Obama's quote, if the GOP really cares about pregnant women and their babies, they will okay my funding plan for the Zika virus.
If the GOP really cares about pregnant women and their babies, then they will okay Zika funding.
We need to break this down, and I think I think we're being scammed.
I I can't prove it.
Instinct, intelligence, guided by experience.
It's a perfect distraction.
It is something that focuses people on the role of government in their lives and turns people to government to save them, to fix it or what have you.
It allocates more money, and who benefits from that?
In this case, the big big pharmaceutical would benefit, which does have a crony relationship with Obama.
On the weekend at Harambe, the 400-pound silverback gorilla's Cincinnati Zoo was killed.
Sixty-nine people in Chicago were killed over the same weekend.
You haven't heard about that.
You never do hear in the drive-by media about people shot and killed in Chicago, or any other Democrat-led city.
And try this.
In a Harambi-related story, a woman was driving a bus.
Which in this day and age is not unusual.
Women drive buses, women drive lots of things, do lots of things on buses.
School bus driver swerved to avoid a cat in the road.
The driver, after swerving to avoid the cat, lost control of the scroll bus, crashed into an East Charlotte, North Carolina home yesterday morning, injuring 14 children and herself.
She was later suspended from her job.
According to the accident report, the driver told police that a cat ran across the road and she attempted to avoid hitting it.
That's when the bus, which was headed to the Randolph Middle School, went off the road and hit a parked car before continuing down a 30-foot embankment, and it then crashed into the side of a house.
The bus was traveling at an estimated speed of 25 miles an hour as it swerved to miss the cat.
Twenty-three students were on the bus at the uh time of the crash.
Medics say that 15 people went to area hospitals with minor injuries.
Eight students were taken to Carolina's medical center, six students taken to a different hospital.
The bus just crashed into a house.
I got bleeding children, I got broken bones.
She told the operator before yelling to the student, yo, get out of the street, baby, get out, get out of the street, get out of the street.
All that to avoid a cat.
Think the woman was thinking Harambe when the cat ran in front of her bus.
Oh no, I can't kill.
Oh no.
Probably not.
But I mean, what what kind of irony is this?
Anyway, and there are criminal charges being pursued.
It looks like criminal charges being pursued in Cincinnati, but everybody was wrong yesterday.
They apparently they're not pursuing the zoo, they're pursuing uh the family.
Did I read that right?
I saw it.
Saw a Chiron graphic on one of the news networks today at a glance, I'm not sure, but I thought it said that they were pursuing uh criminal charges or investigating uh criminal charges family, which I thought that this isn't criminal negligence, family, that those kind of charges don't happen in things like this.
Even though people think they would be justified, they just don't happen.
Uh anyway, and then more animal experts are out now saying there was no choice.
In fact, I think it was Jack Hannah, it might have been somebody else.
Jack Hannes, hey, look, that gorilla was gonna kill that kid.
There's no two ways about what was gonna happen.
Some animal planet zoo show host somebody, I think it was Jack Hannah, I'm not sure.
That child would eventually die.
If they hadn't, if if if the gorilla had been left alone, that child i gorilla might not have even known that what he was doing would kill the child, but the child would have ended up dead if they didn't take the action they took.
That's and that's from an animal lover expert TV animal show host, whoever it was.
Two stories today on Clinton might not be the nominee.
One is from Doug Schoen, who is a uh well-known Democrat pollster and consultant who appears regularly on the Fox News channel.
And uh that it runs in the Wall Street Journal.
Uh you know what?
I have two versions of the same story.
Wait, maybe there are two stories.
Hang on, the pages are stuck together here.
Yeah, there's a it is a second story by uh James Freeman opinion commentary.
Wall Street Journal, why Hillary may not be the nominee.
Plus, in the same story, Trump rolls out a good energy plan.
This is not going to make Brett Stevens happy.
Brett Stevens, Wall Street Journal went on CNN recently and said the Republicans do everything in their power to defeat Trump.
These Republicans need to be shown a lesson.
They need to be shown what a bad mistake they've made.
Trump needs to lose in the biggest landslide there's ever been in politics.
These people need to be humiliated, embarrassed.
Trump supporters do.
So Doug Shonen in the Wall Street Journal, Clinton might not be the nominee, explains why we'll have details, and this guy, James Freeman, why Hillary may not be the nominee.
And plus Hillary's, I think most people like me.
Oh, and Hillary's also out there.
This is great.
Let me uh this is one of the things.
I'm just setting the table here.
Hillary.
Quote, people say I really like you.
I just don't know if I can vote for a woman.
She claims that this is what people are saying to me.
Of course it's me.
This is Yahoo news, though, so the low information crowd's gonna be all over it.
Yahoo's, I mean, that direct access to fake book.
You know, and and and what do they call it?
Trending news.
Hillary Clinton, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People say they come up to me and say, they really I really like you.
I just don't know if I can vote for a woman.
That is such BS.
That is Hillary expert.
Well, in her mind, expertly, it's so transparent.
She's playing the victim card.
Oh, woe is me.
People like me, but this country's so sexist that people say they won't vote for me because I'm a woman.
How sexist and how big it's-that's what she wants the conclusion to be.
You think people are actually Hillary, gosh, I love you.
I love you so much, but I just can't vote for a woman.
I just can't see it.
You think people actually saying that to her?
She's making this up.
Okay, on this program yesterday, we opened with a short review of the Trump press conference.
It turned out to be very adversarial, Trump and the media.
And apparently, folks, I'm telling you, I didn't watch any cable news yesterday or last night when I got home.
I'd uh not one second.
I uh I watched the latest episode of Person of Interest, one of my favorite shows that there that's been canceled.
It was at 10 o'clock last night.
I flicked around and finished a couple things that I've been looking at on Netflix, but I did not have cable news once.
I paid no attention to cable news this morning when I got here.
So I get the audio soundbite roster, and I find out I'm half of it.
And it's because I apparently am the only person in major media who had the take on the Trump press conference that I had.
Apparently, virtually everybody in the cable news universe that cable news networks go to for analysts, analysis and so forth, thought that Trump stepped in it big time yesterday, made one of the biggest unforced errors of the campaign to treat the press that way, to deal with them that way, to have this adversarial relationship with them.
And so, because apparently I am the only one who had the take that I had.
My take became fodder for reaction all over.
And I didn't know any of this until five minutes before the program began.
Now I know what many of you are thinking, Russia, are you really telling us that you don't know what the audio sound bites are going to be until five minutes before.
Yes, folks, I'm telling you that.
We have a smooth oiled machine, and after 27 years, same people that were here on day one, and they know exactly what I want and don't want.
I don't have to tell them, which is the way it should be.
I don't have a producer because I don't want the distraction of having to talk to one or deal with one.
I don't have a producer because I don't want anybody questioning what are you sure you want to do that?
I just uh coco up at the website.
I don't have to tell them what I want there every day.
They know.
They've been doing this long enough.
They know what I like, don't like, they know what I say I want up there, things I don't.
So I take what cookie gives me.
There sometimes if I see something on TV at night cookie, I just saw something X time frame.
Here it is, make sure I have that tomorrow, but it happens so rarely because she's gonna find it anyway.
I mean, the number of days that that I get the audio soundbite roster and what I'm looking for isn't their account on one hand.
So, yeah, I found out five minutes before the program about all this.
So if you take a break, we'll come back and get started because the reaction to it is what's interesting, not what I well, you already know what I said.
The fact that I'm the only one who said it.
Uh interesting in its own way or many.
Okay, let's start with um Fox News this morning on the program they call America's Newsroom, Martha McCallum was speaking with Carl Rove.
Now keep in mind that that Rove and the Bush White House never responded to the Democrats when political allegations or slime or defamation occurred, and it was constant.
The Democrats, amplified by the media, destroyed the George W. Bush second term.
People were frustrated throughout that the administration, the Bush administration never responded.
I asked the president about it numerous times.
He said I'm not gonna sully this office.
I'm not gonna take this office down to the gutter where those people are, I have too much respect for it, too much reverence for it.
So when they go all political on me, I'm not responding to it.
I'm not gonna get down in the gutter.
And that's why he didn't do it.
Carl Rove later uh admitted that that might have been a mistake to have this blanket no response policy.
But that just is a setup, because Rove is asked to respond to this as one of many who did.
So it uh begins this way.
It's hammering the press, and it's something that may work well for Donald Trump.
We've seen this happen time and time again.
Let's listen to this soundbite from Rush Lamb.
How many years have people been begging for a Republican to just once take on the media the way Trump did?
All the way from the premise to the details to the motivation.
Near the end of it, a frustrated journalist.
Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, is it gonna be this way?
Is it gonna be this way?
Are you gonna be attacking us after you become president?
People at home watching this off.
Because folks, in the age of internet trolling, manners are out the window.
It's a waste of time asking for manners.
It is a waste of time asking for propriety and so forth.
Internet trolling defines how people interact with each other.
And of course, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, is it gonna be this way in Trump's?
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
You're the most dishonest people ever dealt with.
So then um uh Martha asked Carl Rove to react to it, and that's what he said.
I think Russia's right that it helps him, but who does it help him with?
It helps him with the 10 million people who voted for him in the Republican primaries.
In the general election, there'll be a hundred and thirty, hundred and thirty-five million people turn out to vote.
I'm not certain it helps him with the people who are swing voters up for grabs, and it certainly is very unpresidential.
It would not be a good spectacle for our country to have a President Trump acting like candidate Trump acted yesterday afternoon.
You can have your disagreements with the press and you can make pointed arguments, but the bullying and the threats and the mean tone and the angry comments, they don't serve him well over the long haul and wouldn't serve our country well either.
What do you think about that?
Uh you know, if if this were a and and don't misunderstand, I'm not being polyanti here.
If this were a level playing field, the press treated everybody the same, now this they may have a point here.
But of course, that has never existed and won't exist.
Democrats have no reason to bully the press.
Obama, by the way, if you listen to certain media people, is more disrespectful of the press than they say any other president in their memory.
But they don't talk about it much, and they don't call him on it because of course they want him to succeed.
They're pushing, I mean, they're they're Democrats.
Journalism is their is their cover, if you will.
I mean, they're agents for the Democrat National Committee, Democrat Party, and so forth.
It's not a level playing field.
And something has to be done here in order to keep your supporters revved up for one thing.
Anyway, we'll continue this in just a sec.
So during the break, Snurley's saying, what do you mean?
You don't think a producer could be helpful.
There's no way a producer.
What do you want the job?
Let me tell you, I don't want a producer here, because a producer is going to want to have his job validated.
A producer is want to be the guy that wants to take credit for what happens on the program.
I've been there done that, and I don't want any part of that.
The main reason, though, is a producer is going to want to have everything slated out, planned out, this this time, this at that, and I don't know when I'm gonna do what.
This whole thing every day is improv, and I have never ever in 27 years, other than the broadcast engineer, tell him what sound bites I think are coming up.
And oftentimes I change on the fly what I've told him doesn't happen anyway.
But that's it.
I don't I so uh no producer, because I don't want to have to tell anybody what's coming, because I don't know what's coming.
I don't know what I'm gonna do next.
Like I didn't know I was gonna be saying this until you mean you really that strongly against a produ yes.
Yes, if I wanted a producer, I would have one.
There's no need.
I often thought a few why would a show like this need a producer?
Why does any radio talk show need a producer?
Why does any radio talk show need a consultant?
You can either you can either do it or you can't do it.
Well, what you okay, if you're defining producer as somebody who lines up the guests, then fine.
I can see that.
But since we don't do that here, um need a producer.
No, no, no, I'm not insulting anybody.
Why do you think insulting anybody?
I'm not insulting a soul here.
I'm just answering your question about why there's not a producer here.
There never has been.
Oh, I really don't I don't get it.
What do you mean I don't get it?
Oh, well, I can't say that.
I can't.
He's snurledly talking inside baseball stuff.
I that see, I can't say that.
If I were in the sewer looking up everybody, I could say that.
But I from top down you can't say stuff like that.
That's that would be poor manners, talking about manners.
Okay, back to this, apparently me having the only take on the Trump presser that I had.
I'm I'm I I am a little surprised.
I'm the only prominent national voice that had to take it.
And that's why this soundbite's all over the place.
It was on MSNBC, too, but we've got a band there, so we're not gonna have any sound bites from there.
But uh next now, Greta Van Susterin's, you know, she's sharp, and and she she comes close to getting it here.
This is uh her show last night, uh, and she's talking about all of this, and she again starts her segment by playing my audio clip.
Conservative radio host and the king of radio, Rush Limbaugh, even saying this was the news conference Republicans have been waiting for for decades.
How many years have people been begging for a Republican to just once take on the media the way Trump did?
All the way from the premise to the details to the motivation.
Near the end of it, a frustrated journalist.
Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, is it gonna be this way?
Is it gonna be this way?
Are you gonna be attacking us after you become president?
Because folks, in the age of internet trolling, manners are out the window.
It's a waste of time asking for manners here.
One of Greta's guests was uh Nina Easton, former uh Bureau Chief of the Boston Globe, and now she's a Fox News contributor, actually writes for fortune.
And Greta said, if uh i if he gave if he gave one to the the wrong veterans group, and we'd be all over him.
I I assume that they were investigating these groups.
Uh she said the media and the way they were harassing Trump or investigating Trump or scrutinizing Trump or uh whatever they do.
And here's what Nina Easton said in the Bible.
I thought it was a very interesting moment today because you saw this what you thought would have been a general election candidate, right?
More presidential, giving to veterans, groups, doing great work there.
Instead, it turned into the primary candidate of attacking name calling.
And look, everybody hates the news media.
Get it, got it, good.
This follows attacks on uh his fellow candidates.
It follows recent attacks on fellow Republicans.
Um and it also goes to this question while people don't like the media, people in a general election in particular, I think want candidates to undergo scrutiny.
I see f I in the first place.
This this business about being presidential, George W. Bush was the epitome of acting presidential.
There is you there's nobody other than he, his father, and Ronaldus Magnus, who held the office of the presidency in such reverence, such high regard, and went to great lengths to never sully it.
George W. Bush was the epitome of what these people are all talking about.
Uh they think Trump should now assume this posture of general election candidate and should become more presidential and more accommodating of the media, more understanding and less critical of people and less uh bully like.
Well, George Bush did all of that, and where did it get him?
He may be one of the most currently reviled ex-presidents we've got.
And it's such a shame, so unnecessary.
Bush was a he was a good president.
He was he's a great guy.
He was it was he was somebody that uh fits every characteristic and quality people say they want in a president in terms of deportment, comportment, uh behavior, manners, uh reverence for the office and all this, and where did it get him?
Now don't don't misunderstand.
I'm I'm I'm merely trying to counter these people who are saying that Trump needs to become more like that, because that's what's expected.
Well, okay, uh if if you define being presidential as what George W. Bush did, it didn't help him.
The image of being presidential, refusing to get down in the gutter, not answering any of the critics, letting himself be lied about, letting his policies be lied about, letting the war in Iraq be lied about, let it be summarily destroyed in the media with all these books about how to assassinate him, but none of this reacted to, tell me how it helped him.
It it just it just didn't.
Plus, we're living in a different age.
I think people are going to have to realize here it's a different age, and people are continuing to try.
If you don't evolve, particularly as you get older, and it's such a trap.
It is such a trap.
There are certain things that are universally true, and that is as people grow older, uh, if they're not careful, they become completely dismissive of what younger generations think, do, and how younger generations behave.
They end up thinking all hell is breaking loose, and we're all going to hell in a handbasket, except there's a shortage of handbaskets.
And they long for the old days and they rely on and and and live in in nostalgia, instead of recognizing that things are in constant flux, constant change, and this is a world that is made for the young.
It just is.
It always has been and always will be.
And and it's by young, I'm I'm talking about 40s, 45, I'm not talking about 18 to 25 and so forth, that's important.
But the point is you can get stuck and not realize how society and culture is evolving.
Uh and if the objective is to win an election and to get more votes than anybody else, you have to know the electorate.
And I'm thinking that a lot of people are are still looking at a presidential electorate the way they looked at one 20 years ago, 25 years ago, trying to imagine the population of the country's expectations of what a president should be.
20, 25 years, if that were the case, we wouldn't have Obama.
Obama would not have been elected a second time if if uh people had the same standards and desires in a president.
But let's face it, we're we we've shifted.
This country wants a president that's even more powerful than the Constitution permits.
The people in this country are totally fine.
Look at the college students signing on to socialism.
Doesn't matter they don't know what they're doing.
You try to educate them into how they're wrong and hope that they grow and mature and discover it on their own, but the fact remains that it is what it is.
People are how they are.
You can't take this social media stuff out of the equation.
You know, this social media stuff is such a pitfall for people.
I have been trying to warn people for over ten years about this.
But such is the desire for fame among average ordinary people.
They watch and pay attention to certain areas and elements of media, and they easily can end up concluding that life is nothing but the red carpet, the celebrity opening, and the and the after party,
and having all kinds of paparazzi follow you around, and everybody wanting to know what you're doing, when you're doing it, how you're dressed, what you're thinking, and so all of this stuff, they are vomiting all over social media.
They are casting every bit of privacy aside.
In fact, do you know that there was a ruling that came down yesterday was forget which circuit, it might have been the second circuit court of appeals, basically said that law enforcement can go to any cell carrier and get any customers' location data without a warrant that that does not
qualify as a violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
And you know why?
Precisely because, and it's not just this court, a bunch of lower courts have found all the way back to the 80s, that if people are willingly giving up broadcasting, sharing with anybody and everybody details of their privacy, then we cannot hold a cellular company responsible for violating it when their customers are beating them to the punch, giving away elements of their privacy and their identity multiple times a day.
Well, tell you how this is going to manifest itself.
Every time you tweet, every time you retweet, every time you do anything, somebody's got a record of it.
Once you send it out, it's no longer yours, and anybody can take it and do with whatever they want.
And a lot of people are doing this because they're seeking fame, they're seeking notice, they want to matter, they want everybody to know about them and learn about them.
They want to have their followers, they want to have their likes, and they learn what it takes to get all of that.
And who happens to be the champion of it right now?
Donald J. Trump happens to be the champion of how you do all that.
And once you know the behavior patterns on social media are, as we all know, and very few of us actually approve of the behavior on many of these social media sites are reprehensible in terms of what everybody's standards of good manners and politeness and respect.
All that's out the window.
Internet trolling has become its own behavioral mode.
You can say, oh, that's horrible.
It is, but it still is happening, and it is what it is.
And those people have a whole different definition of what's presidential than people 20, 25 years ago did.
Now, I don't want to be misunderstood here.
I am not abandoning my standards or anything else.
But I the point of this is I think there are still lots of people that are probably of a certain edge, and might have very high inflated opinion of themselves, who haven't the slightest idea yet why Donald Trump is so popular.
And they keep trying to say, well, he, if he's gonna hold he better, he better he better return president.
What did I talk to two weeks ago?
I said there are going to be efforts to change the guy, and he'd better resist him.
You know, the old saw, you dance with the one that brung you.
You are who you are, and if that attracts a crowd, remain who you are.
But don't let somebody come in or a series of consultants and tell you that you have to stop being who you are because now it's time to switch gears.
You've got to follow your gut, you've got to follow your instincts.
At the end of the day, you you rise or fall based on who you are.
The more you phoning it up, the more it's gonna crash and burn on you at some point anyway.
And so all of these people say Trump needs to change presidential that it doesn't apply to him.
But Rush, but Rush, what about what Rove said?
Yeah, it's a 10 million people that vote for him, yeah, they love it, but what about the independence and the undecided and all that?
Well, we'll see.
They got more votes in a Republican primary than anybody ever has.
Yes.
If you look at the polling data out there, he's ahead of, or even within the margin of error for Hillary, and every expert said he's gonna be a landslide loser when this all began.
I gotta take a break.
I'm way long.
I'm sorry to interrupt myself, but I have to have no choice.
Okay, I'll have more on that monologue.
So I don't I don't even think you know what I I don't I don't think Trump was even avoiding scrutiny yesterday.
That's not what was going on.
This whole thing's being misrepresented.
People are not seeing it because they're plugged into templates, they're plugged into narratives that are that are generations old or years old, and they're missing everything that's happening right in front of them.
But I'll explain more on that.
I got two more bites I want to squeeze in here.
First, CNN's newsroom, Isha Aisha is her name.
I should say, talking with Braun Brownstein of the Atlantic.
Question how much of this media scolding that Trump did was strategy, and how much of it was him just trying to dominate the news cycle, Mr. Brownstein.
I had a conversation, interesting conversation during the primaries with Alex Castellanos, who's a longtime Republican consultant, and he was puzzling himself over why Donald Trump was able to hold so much support among conservatives, despite all his deviations from conservative orthodoxy.
And he said, you know what he finally concluded was that Trump was so popular because he went after our enemies, Hammer and Don.
Rush Limbaugh, you know, described this as the press conference Republican voters had been waiting for forever.
So here's Brownstein admitting it took a Republican consultant to tell him why Trump was pop.
You couldn't figure it out.
And what they've concluded, yeah, Trump's popular because he goes after enemies, he's a fighter.
That's part of it.
There's no question it's part of it.
There are many, many, many other reasons.
Um, but that is uh clearly and of course it was I, your host, El Rushbo, who provided the exclamation point to the claim.
And one more, last night, uh Fox Bidness Network, risk and reward with Deirdre Bolton, and she spoke with the Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pearson about me and the comments you're not familiar with.
And here's that exchange.
Brush Limbaugh started his radio show this morning with this.
People been begging for a Republican to just once take on the media the way Trump did.
So, Katrina, how much feedback on that 40-minute press conference are you getting?
My inbox is so full right now from so many people across the country saying finally, people are so fed up and frustrated with the hypocrisy on the way Republicans are covered versus the way Democrats are covered or lack thereof.
And that's what Trump was Trump was not bullying these people because they demanded answers on his on his vet donations, what Trump was, he was he was not avoiding scrutiny, answered their questions.
He's got these 27-year-old young journalists out there, and and all he was pointing out is that where is the scrutiny of Mrs. Clinton?
Where is the same scrutiny of Democrat candidates?
It's one of the many things that I heard in that press conference yesterday.
Much more.
Yeah, of course I want to hear what you have to say about all this.
It'll weigh in with phone calls of the next hour, gets underway.
Remember, Obama said if Republicans really care about pregnant women and their babies, they will okay Zika virus funding.
They really care about pregnant women and their babies, right?
