Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It's gonna backfire.
This is what they don't get.
I don't care how effective people think it was, I don't care how good, how devastating, whatever people think it was gonna backfire.
It's a thing nobody figures out all these attacks on Trump, they backfire on the people that launched them.
Hi, folks.
Friday it is, that means live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, sir, rebub, the end of another busy broadcast week hosted by me, your highly trained broadcast specialist with great broadcast instincts, Rush Limbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone for yet another three-hour excursion into broadcast excellence.
Open Line Friday means when we go to the phones, and we will.
And you'll get to talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
I kind of know what it's going to be, but it doesn't have to be.
It doesn't have to be the campaign.
Politics can be whatever.com and again 800-282-2882.
You know, I've been regretting this moment the entire week, folks, but I have to tell you something.
I'm not gonna be here next week.
And I'm I had the Republican primary still be going on, where it's still happening and were it still undecided that I would have canceled the plans.
And I would have hung in here and I would have rescheduled uh this long scheduled week off uh for another time.
But since it's the Democrat primary next week, there really isn't any drama here.
I'm gonna predict to you right now, just to show you, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pretend as though it's next Tuesday or next Wednesday, and I'm here, and you want to know what happened and what it means, I'm gonna tell you right now.
Bernie Sanders may well indeed win the California primary, but Hillary Clinton will win a Democrat Party nomination the same night.
I don't care what happens, Bernie Sanders is not going to be the nominee, and he never was going to be the nominee.
I would love to be wrong about it.
Don't misunderstand, but it was never ever gonna happen, and it isn't gonna happen next week.
For one thing, the drive-bys are so excited over these riots.
Well, some of them are.
Actually, some of the drive-bys were repulsed by what they saw.
We'll have sound bites coming up.
The drive-bys are also orgasmic over Hillary's foreign policy speech yesterday, which wasn't a foreign policy speech, it was an attack on the Trumpster.
And they just love it.
They have been wanting to do it themselves, and they've tried, but it hasn't worked.
It just bounces off.
And Hillary finally went out and she launched six months worth of what everybody that doesn't like Trump has wanted to hear.
She just fired every barrel she's got, and the drive-bys are they can barely contain themselves with how happy they are.
And so they're reporting on it as though it was the greatest speech ever.
They're really saying it was Hillary Clinton's greatest speech ever.
Even people like Dr. Krauthammer are acknowledging that it was devastating, that this is the kind of thing that had a Republican.
Running for president in the last six months, said these things.
It might have had an impact on the outcome.
It might have prevented Trump from winning it.
My memory is a lot of them did.
Didn't Mitt Romney give an entire speech devoted to Trump's unfitness, intemperance, lack of qualifications, didn't Rom did a whole speech, a 45, 30, 45 minute speech.
I know he wasn't running, but still, it was a Republican, and he was toying with the idea at the point at that time.
Uh Marco Rubio took his best shot at Trump.
Uh Jeb Bush and the Bush camp, they had a hundred million dollars that they spent.
Although I have to most of it wasn't spent on Trump.
Oddly, it was spent on Marco.
On Marco Rubio.
But but regardless, the drive-bys.
See, they you talk about Starcrossed.
They have such mixed emotions about Trump.
They hate him.
They despise him, but they need him.
They hate him and they love what he's making happen for them.
Donald Trump is reviving the drive-by media.
The drive-by media was dwindling away, fading away in both number, presence, and influence.
And now Trump, wherever Trump goes, ratings are up.
Programs that were seeing declines in audience.
Network shows that were showing audience fade away.
When Trump is a semi-or regular guest, their numbers are skyrocketing and they know it, and they've been able to monetize it to a certain extent.
But they hate Trump.
They hate him, they hate, they hate his personality, they hate that he gets away with saying what he says.
Only Democrats are supposed to be able to say things like that and get away with it.
Only Democrats are supposed to be able to get away with the behavior Democrats are getting away with when they riot against.
And by the way, these riots, the most recent one, San Jose, they're not riots against Trump, they're riots against Trump supporters.
You probably by now have seen the videos of the anti-Trump riots in San Jose, but as I say, they're not really anti-Trump.
They're anti-Trump supporter riots.
And beyond that, they're really anti-America riots, since they are really violently protesting as American citizens exercising their constitutional right to express their political opinion.
And it is bloody.
It is dangerous.
And the mayor of San Jose, some guy named Sam Licardo, a Democrat and a Hillary supporter, criticize Trump for going to places like San Jose and igniting problems that local police departments have to deal with.
He said at some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.
Really?
So you have a mayor who pretty much, it looks like told the cops to stand down while Trump supporters were viciously attacked.
And they were vicious, they were bloodied up.
And many of these people are anti-America.
They have signs saying make California, Mexico again.
They're bought and paid for by Democrat donors like George Soros.
Remember the first such riot?
It was in Chicago, and Trump canceled an appearance in advance when word leaked out that there was going to be trouble.
So Trump canceled it.
The riots happened anyway.
And the drive-bys immediately started blaming Trump.
And so the onus was on Trump to get his supporters in line.
The onus was on Trump to stop inspiring his supporters to beat people up and beat them upside the head and so forth.
It was on Trump.
It was his requirements, his responsibility.
Well, where are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders?
After such events, San Jose, San Diego, where are they?
Asking their supporters to stand down.
Where are they not even distancing themselves from these supporters?
These are Hillary Clinton supporters.
They're certainly not Trump supporters.
They're Bernie Sanders supporters.
They're liberal Democrats.
Some of them are illegal citizens, illegal aliens.
Some of them are illegal.
Some of them are malcontent, some of them are criminals, some of them reprobates.
They're human debris in many cases.
And you don't see Crazy Bernie or Mrs. Clinton distancing themselves.
You don't see the media admonishing them.
The media, some of them uncomfortable what they're seeing, but at the end of the day, they like it.
They have wanted this kind of stuff to descend on Trump.
They feel Trump has gotten away with things no Republican should ever be allowed to get away with ever.
They have been powerless to stop it.
Everything launched at Trump has backfired, including their attacks.
Hillary attacks other Republicans have launched attacks.
It always backfires.
Nobody's learned that lesson yet.
Hillary's speech yesterday is going to backfire as well.
But the drive-by media says nothing to see here.
Fox, these are just your average, ordinary steeped in tradition American protests.
Nothing unusual.
And about the violence?
Well, of course, that's Trump's fault.
Because Trump, he says mean things.
Trump says really provocative, stupid things, and it's no wonder he's driving our normally sane, beloved liberal Democrat voters crazy.
It's totally understandable they would behave this way.
It's totally understandable they would beat and bloody up and riot against Trump supporters.
Because Trump is such a reprobate.
It's all Trump's fault.
That's what they're sticking to.
For the most part, Trump supporters have not really defended themselves, which is the irony.
85, 90% of the violence is coming from anti-Trump participants.
Anti-Trump supporters.
Anti-Trump supporter rioters.
The pro-Trump people basically flee, try to get in their cars and get home, get away.
They haven't retaliated yet.
If this keeps up, that's the next thing that obviously is going to happen, human nature being what it is.
So we're dealing here with the with the drive-by's ecstatic over Mrs. Clinton's greatest speech ever.
We have the drive-bys in the Democrat Party ecstatic over these bloody riots, which feature plenty of anti-Americanism.
In fact, there's a couple of Trump supporters that were caught up to local media in California, San Jose said, you know, I this doesn't even this doesn't look like the America I know.
And it doesn't.
I mean, the American flag is being burned, the Mexican flag is being waved, the protest signs say make California, Mexico again.
And these are America's leftists.
These are the people when they vote, they're going to vote for Hillary Clinton or Crazy Burney.
And then again, the California Democrat primary is Tuesday.
And it's sniping tuck according to the polls that go either way.
Bernie Sanders could even win it, but it doesn't matter.
She's still going to get the nominee.
You're seeing stories, because I've seen them.
You're probably seeing stories that Crazy Bernie happens to actually pull an upset next Tuesday in California and wins this.
Then some super delegates.
Some super delegates are going to start thinking real hard, and they're going to reach out to Joe Biden, who we are told is just chomping at the bit to get in this.
Yeah, that's right.
Drive-by media sources saying if Crazy Bernie actually beats her in California on Tuesday, that that signals Biden getting in.
It does not single Crazy Bernie getting a nomination.
My instincts in the very beginning were that he's not going to get the nomination no matter what happens.
And even if he wins Tuesday.
That's why I feel comfortable.
Well, I don't feel comfortable leaving.
You know, I never feel comfortable leaving, but as you all know, such intense pressure, relentless focus.
You have to take a break now and then the recharge.
And I figured if the Republican side was still going on, I'd have postponed.
But since we know what the outcome next week's going to be, it's just as good a week as any, because once we get to the conventions and after the conventions, and it really, really intensifies.
There are also other things in the news that have nothing to do with the campaign.
We keep that stack alive and current each and every day, too.
So a lot of things I want to get to, plus a lot of your phone calls since it's open line Friday.
So, without any further ado, our first obscene profit timeout as we monetize the increased fascination and interest in American politics.
We'll return before you know it.
Why is nobody blaming Hillary for this violence?
Why is nobody blaming the media?
I mean, after all, Hillary gave the greatest speech of her career.
You will hear drive-by is an analyze it that way coming up.
And what it was, it wasn't a foreign policy speech, it was an attack on Trump.
So she goes out, she attacks Trump in every which way possible.
And then her supporters go out and attack innocent people.
I mean, the way they play this, we could say her rhetoric caused this.
Haven't they always said that what happens here on talk radio makes people behave in certain ways?
Every time there's a movie shooting, every time there's a mass shooting somewhere, yes, San Bernardino.
What's the first thing the drive-by's do?
Try to find linkage to talk radio, do they not?
Folks, this is something, you know, I I don't lose my temper over over things like this, but but but uh there is such a clear double standard here.
They have never in 27 years been able to prove linkage one time.
Bill Clinton tried to blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing.
There have been other similar efforts made by Democrats and the media in all the 27, 28 years I've been doing this.
And Mrs. Clinton goes out, pretty much incites a riot.
Great speech, greatest speech ever.
Nobody even tries to make a connection between what Democrats say and what happens.
I don't know how many of you have heard of the website Vox.
It's uh started by some young kids that used to be at the Washington Post and Politico and so forth, and they wanted to strike out on their own.
So as usual, as good liberals, they went out and found funding.
They went out and found Sugar Daddy.
They went out and found an investor.
Or a series of them.
And so they started this website, Vox.
And the editor of Vox's VOX, it's a website, is somebody named Emmett Renssen.
And Emmett Renson took to Twitter last night to declare that since Trump is a racist and a fascist, then all forms of violence short of murder are completely legitimate.
One of the tweets was if Trump comes to your town, start a riot.
Do you know what young people like this think a fascist is?
They have no idea the actual definition.
To them, a fascist is somebody who says things you don't agree with.
That's all it is.
They haven't the slightest idea.
It's fascism.
What we're looking at here is brown shirts.
With these riots against Trump supporters.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is a uh just excuse me, a little audio sample of the riot, some of the things that we were able to actually hear in all the noise.
America was never great!
I'm not gonna say to me!
America is numbers here!
America's never great!
Donald Trump M. America is never great!
America's never great!
So all the F-bombs there, Donald Hump and his hate, Donald Trump and his hate, America was never great, fulfilling every prediction about these people I've ever shared with you about who they are and what they think of America, and they're Democrats.
They are liberals.
These are people that support and vote for Democrat candidates.
Tom Yamas is an ABC reporter.
This is the guy that Trump called a sleaze.
In his press conference earlier this week.
He was on Good Morning America Today.
This is a portion of his report about what he saw outside the Trump rally in San Jose.
This was one of the most violent scenes I have ever witnessed at a Trump rally.
At times it seemed like the police had no control of the situation.
People were getting beat up right in front of them.
And these were not clashes, these were pure attacks.
Trump supporters, men, women, even the elderly, left this building last night and walked right into danger.
Many of the people we saw were young men and young women who were here to do only one thing, which is to throw punches, and on more than one occasion, we did see young people throwing up gang signs in those mobs of protesters.
Wow.
This is the guy Trump called a sleaze, and even he went out and had to report what he saw.
So you have people inside the Trump rally leaving the building, and they were literally attacked.
They were hit on.
They were bloodied up, they were punched out.
They were shouted at.
They were followed to parking garages.
And even this guy had to point out that this is he's never seen anything like this.
And you're looking at pure liberal Democrats here.
This is who they accept payment from and who they vote for.
And you haven't had one demand on Clinton or Sanders to denounce this, to distance themselves from it, or any of the sort, because everybody on the Democrat side is busy applauding this.
So you want specifics from this clown, Emmett Renson at Vox.
Well, here's what he tweeted destroying property, legitimate.
Shouting down, legitimate.
Disruption of all events, legitimate.
Murder isn't.
Pretty much all forms of protest is fine with him.
Because Trump deserves it.
Because Trump is a fascist.
Because Trump is filled with so much hate.
Trump is so vicious.
Trump is so mean.
Trump is so bad.
But to these young people, fascism is simply people saying things they don't agree with.
They have no idea what it actually is, and even if they do know what it is, they ignore it and so forth.
But I'd say, folks, this is um.
It's it's it's uh the riots are gonna happen.
These things are gonna happen.
What what is uh missing here is the context and a sense of proportion.
I mean it.
Whenever there is a mass shooting, it is instinctive.
Remember when Brian Ross at the there was a movie mass shooting, movie theater mass shooting in uh Colorado somewhere.
And the first thing Brian Ross did got the name of the shooter, and Brian, the first thing he did was try to find out the guy was a member of the local Tea Party.
And lo and behold, they found in the local Tea Party member roster, they found a guy with the same name.
So Brian Ross hits the airwaves in ABC and says it could well be that this shooter is a Tea Party activist.
Turns out the guy was a numbskull, knucklehead, didn't even know what the Tea Party was.
It was just a screw loose leftist, as many of them are.
But it doesn't matter.
Every one of these kinds of uh be they riots, be they mass shootings, even the San Bernardino shooting, there was an effort made to link it somewhere.
Sarah Palin, me, conservative talk radio, Fox News, you name it, every single time.
You have riots, and these are not the first.
There are many other riots that have taken place after Trump events, outside the venues, and there's not one effort to link the rioters to the Democrat Party.
No, in fact, the effort is made to link them to Trump.
Trump is inspiring them with his hatred and his bigotry and his hate-filled rhetoric.
But here's the thing about this.
And it's not specific to Trump.
This is exactly the kind of stuff that happened in 1968, the Democrat National Convention in Chicago.
Now, there the protesters were protesting as the Democrats.
It was uh the heat of the Vietnam War.
And it did not help the Democrats.
And the point is that this stuff does not end up helping the Democrats for all the things they say Trump is doing and saying that are going to damage the Republican brand and damage Republican turnout and damage Trump with Hispanics and did it's everything backfires.
Everything eventually backfires when you launch it at Trump.
Grab soundbite number 22.
I saw the other day That the Trump campaign hired Ed Rollins.
Ed Rollins ran the Reagan campaign in 1984, and he had been involved in the Reagan organization even prior to that.
This morning he was on the Stuart Varney show on the Fox Business Network.
And Stuart Varney said to Ed Rollins those scenes, those protesters waving the Mexican flag, attacking Americans.
It's like mana from heaven for Trump, right?
I mean, this is just feeding right into what he needs.
Ronald Reagan got elected in 1966 because of the student protests in California.
Richard Nixon got elected in 1968 because of the Vietnam protests across the country.
My sense today is this is going to be an outrage, especially the waving the flag, the Mexican flag is going to cause a lot of Americans to say, that's what you want to do, go home.
That's your home.
And I think that's a bad thing.
This violence in this campaign could be very, very serious from here on out.
And Trump's going to basically go out and campaign across the country, and you're going to have this week after week, and I think to a certain extent it's going to make him stronger and stronger.
Oh, it's he's right about something.
It's just kicking off.
You wait to see what these people try to pull off in Cleveland at the Republican convention.
Oh, yeah, he's exactly right.
This is just now getting started.
For whatever it is now, it is only going to intensify.
And he's exactly right about so here you have it.
It's been reported that the vast majority of the uh the makeup of the rioters, young Latinos, and union members.
But I'm going to tell you this is this is again an illustration of how distant and out of touch establishment types are.
Here are these people out burning the American flag, waving the Mexican flag, claiming America never was great, not great now, make California Mexico.
Give Mexico back California, whatever it is.
You couple that with the sentiment that already exists on the issue of illegal immigration.
And Democrat Party and Republicans who are supporting amnesty have no idea, apparently, how damaging this is to what they want and how harmful.
The problem for us is that public opinion doesn't matter to them.
Public opinion doesn't matter to the donor class.
Public opinion doesn't matter to elected officials anymore.
If they get it in their heads that there's going to be amnesty, there's going to be amnesty no matter what you, me, or anybody else thinks.
But stuff like this, as it intensifies and grows, can bring it to a screeching halt because there is this issue.
This is an illustration of exactly why people don't want any part of amnesty or any part of illegal immigration.
It's lawless, just as this is.
The whole point of it, it's not rooted in anti-Latino, anti-Central America, anti-Mexican, anti-Hispanic.
It's rooted in the fact that the law is being broken with impunity in this country.
There are 300 American cities who flout federal law daily by declaring themselves sanctuary cities.
There are daily reports of vicious violent crime created by illegal aliens.
This is an issue.
You combine it with the anger there is over trade imbalances and manufacturing loss and so forth.
Desires of the establishment here to etch in stone amnesty as a statutory achievement.
It's going to further anger people and it's going to continue to backfire.
Oh I don't know what the Democrats think these protesters are going to accomplish, but I and I don't think they are thinking.
I think this is total emotion.
I think, folks, I think there is so much pent-up hatred for Trump within the establishment, within the media, within the Democrat and Republican Party hierarchy.
Nobody is supposed to be able to do what he's doing.
Nobody's supposed to be able to accomplish what he's accomplishing without being in the establishment.
Nobody, an outsider is not supposed to be able to come in and run rings around lifetime seasoned professionals and veterans at the political game.
Nobody's supposed to be able to, nobody's supposed to be able to get away with talking the way Trump does.
Nobody was supposed to be able to get away with being apparently what they think is ignorant as Trump is.
It blows up every sacred belief they've ever had about their world and what they do in it and how they rank in it.
And there has been this building hatred for Trump and both sides, both parties and the establishment and the media ever since he got in.
And it became more and more clear as the each week went by that he wasn't going to implode, which they all thought was going to happen.
And then every attack that has always worked in the history of politics.
It takes somebody out, doesn't do anything but come back and harm the attacker, they're beside themselves.
They don't know what to do.
They still haven't come to grips with the fact that Trump's the nominee publicly they're acknowledging it, saying so.
But inside, and within the bowels of these organizations, and in the secret rooms where the handshakes and stuff take place.
There's there's there is there's uncontrolled rage.
And so there are people applauding what's happening in in terms of these privately and hoping.
Say what they're hoping.
They're hoping that you who support Trump will see all of these riots and abandon Trump.
They're hoping that you will say, We don't want to see this.
We we we don't like our country this.
We don't we don't we don't like there, they're hoping that you will get so fed up or frightened that you will back off of your support for Trump.
San Jose, by the way, is a sanctuary city.
The mayor of San Jose basically had the cops standing aside last night, do whatever you want to do, and blame Trump for it.
The mayor of San Jose went on and said so.
He's a Democrat's a Hillary supporter blaming Trump for what happened, and Trump didn't do a damn thing.
Hillary started it yesterday with her incessant attack on Trump.
Trump responded to it last night in his speech.
Trump supporters walk out and they are attacked.
Innocent Trump supporters walking out of there to their cars to get home or go wherever.
And there's private applause for this.
Everywhere outside the Trump organization.
One more sound bite here, and then we'll take a break and come back with your calls.
Matt Wower today on the Facebook show, speaking with uh Steve Cornacki, who does something over at MSNBC.
They're talking about the riots outside the Trump rally in San Jose.
I want to talk about this violence outside this Trump rally in San Jose, and let's be clear.
This was people protesting against Donald Trump attacking his supporters.
We've got five months to go.
Emotions boiling over like this.
We're in for a long summer, aren't we?
Yeah, and this raises a serious question, I think, when you think it had to that Republican convention in Cleveland, because you're gonna have protesters not just from Ohio, but from all over the country converging there.
When you look at how this was handled last night, how this got out of control, it raises the question, scale that up ten times, twenty times.
That's what you're gonna have in Cleveland.
Are they gonna be ready for that?
I didn't hear any condemnation of the violence.
I hear an acknowledgement of it and uh maybe even a little bit of hope that it's gonna intensify and blow up in Cleveland, and then some concern, maybe the authorities ready for this.
But I don't hear any condemnation of it.
Now, if this were the other way around, Matt Wauer and every other guest he had on that show today would be condemning this and demanding that Trump say something to stop it, that Trump appeal to his supporters to cease this behavior.
But I didn't, I didn't I didn't hear uh any condemnation.
I just heard, yeah, this is what you get.
This is what you get, you got Donald Trump in the campaign, this is what you get, and only gonna get worse when it gets to uh when it gets to Cleveland.
We'll be back in a jiffy, folks.
The mayor of San Jose, again, his name is Tom Licardo, and he actually said last night, quote, at some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior his campaign.
His people didn't do diddly squat last night.
They were inside the Trump rally, they came out and they were attacked and beaten up and bloodied up and bullied and followed to their cars wherever they were parked.
And here comes this mayor.
At some point, Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.
Breitbart News was there.
Breitbart News is everywhere.
Breven News Daily is everywhere, and they said that they saw several Trump supporters thanking the cops as they left the venue.
In fact, one Trump supporter was supposedly shouting, Police Lives Matter, and an officer responded, Thank you.
But the mayor, according to reports, the mayor had them sort of just standing around like an hour and a half.
Did you see that as well?
That's right.
Okay, we got a call from San Jose.
It's Muriel.
She was at the rally last night.
Muriel, I'm glad I'm uh I'm happy you're the first call today.
How are you?
Good, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Uh at the end of the call, I want to um just compliment you on your two of IT if I made.
Oh, sure.
But to get into the San Jose rally, my daughter and I were so excited to go and see Trump.
Uh my daughter wore her red, white, and blue pants, and I wore my red, white, and blue scarf.
We got in our car.
My husband dropped us off, and they told us it was going to be at one place, but they diverted us to another place.
So we were not even in the place we were supposed to be, so uh a lot of people were confused about that.
Finally we got to the place where we were supposed to be, where to Donald Trump was already talking.
Wait a minute now.
What happened?
Did they did they see?
I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
Even the police were confused.
They said, Well, you know, ask those other cops.
They were supposed to be here.
Well, where did you where did your husband first drop you off?
Uh, he dropped us off right in front of the convention center.
Where did you have to go?
We went around the corner about two blocks away into this umer looking uh contraption thing that they had in there, um, where they do have you know uh a lot of um meetings and things like that.
Yeah, these contraption things I'm very familiar with and we have a couple of them here.
Yeah.
Well, we got there and oh, it was electrifying.
He was wonderful.
I mean, I I couldn't have had more pride in my country just listening to him.
My daughter was just having such a good time.
We were videoing, we were having a good time.
Then there was a protester, and he got one out, and then there was a lady that had her little Bernie sign, and he, you know, kind of told her, yeah, she could stay, she could stay, she's not, you know, doing anything or whatever, right?
And her uh sign is probably even made in China, and we were just laughing and laughing.
But it was electrifying.
It was wonderful.
But when the rally was over, and Mr. Trump stayed there for a good half an hour because we waited, and there was so many people though, you know, wanting to see him.
Then we were interviewed even by a journalist in the Netherlands, my daughter and I, because we were wearing our red, white, and blue, and we had our little Trump sign and our little badges and everything, right?
What well well, wait a minute now.
That sounds like wearing red, white, and blue made you suspicious.
Oh, yes.
That that's just the starting of it.
When we walked out, we met my daughter's boyfriend and his um sister that also went to the rally, but they couldn't get in because they had certain streets blocked off and they went to the wrong place also.
Well, we finally got caught up in that contraption thing.
Oh, it was it was bad.
The police were beautiful.
I mean, I couldn't have thanked them.
Uh, we were just did any of this rioting get close to you?
Did you ever find Oh, yes.
Oh, yes, it did.
We uh first of all, when we got out, they wouldn't let us fall back a certain way.
They had blocked off everything, they had police everywhere because the rioters were way down the street.
So we thought we were safe.
And then they wrapped us around, and then we started walking down the main street, you know, of downtown uh by the St. Clair Hotel, and as soon as we got across the street, they started on us.
They started Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, no, I want were you essentially, Muriel, were you essentially directed toward the area where the protesters were waiting?
No, we were gone directed towards the area where the light rail is, but of course that's where they wanted to be because they knew we were all light rail.
I won't they're hanging around at the light rail.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely where they wanted to be.
Now I look Muriel, I'm sorry, I'm way out of time.
I I know you wanted to say some of two of my tea.
It's it's good, right?
That's that's Oh, it's delicious, and I make my blueberry uh muffin with two of my tea.
I substitute the water for the tea, and it is oh, an experience you wouldn't believe.
Well, I appreciate that.
I re I wish I had more time, folks.
I really uh don't.
We gotta go.
Muriel, thank you very much.
It is open line Friday.
I'm looking at the call roster, and we have uh let's see if we have we have a couple of calls that have nothing to do with any of this.
That's good.
That's cool.
Always look forward to those.
Never know what you're gonna get kind of stuff.
We have a brief time out here at the top of the hour.
We will continue.
