Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, this is getting incredible.
All the people who had encounters with the Orlando shooter, and some of them even told the FBI and nothing happened.
They're always telling us, if you spot anything, tell us, let us know, call the authorities.
A lot of people did.
Nothing happened.
The FBI had the guy on his watch list twice.
It's Friday, folks, so that means we got to get going here.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
Open Line Friday.
Whatever you want to talk about pretty much covers it.
Doesn't have to be the news of the day, although the news of the day is what's compelling.
I'm just throwing it out there as an opportunity if you want to branch out.
Like yesterday, we had a guy who wanted to talk about net neutrality.
Wanted me to explain what it was.
I said, we're not talking about that today.
That's not going to be in place.
So I said, call back tomorrow.
You might not want to hear about net neutrality today either, but I knew you didn't yesterday.
Greetings, my friends, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address, lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
So the gun shop owner, the guy that got the guy walks into the gun shop and wants to buy body armor.
And there isn't any body armor.
So he gets on the phone and he calls somebody, starts speaking in a foreign language.
The gun shop owner is beside himself because they didn't make the sale.
He didn't get the guy's name.
He didn't get any ID.
There was nothing to report.
And the guy's been talking to the media today.
He feels sick.
He said the guy was right in my shop.
He was right here.
He's requesting body armor.
That's suspicious as hell.
Then he starts speaking this foreign language, and it was obviously a Middle Eastern foreign language.
I don't know what it was.
He didn't know, he didn't have a name.
He didn't sell anything, so he didn't get any ID from this particular gun shop owner.
And now we find out that Mateen was texting, what, his ex-wife or wife, Derp, his current wife.
Look at this guy.
He texts his wife.
He called the FBI, called 9-11, somebody, I called the media all in the middle of this attack, and still nothing happened.
Now, we pointed out yesterday the reason that he calls everybody is because that's part of Islamic jihad law.
It's called bayat, and you have to proclaim it.
When you are in the middle of committing jihad, you've got to proclaim it.
If you want to get the 73 raisins, Breitbart has a story today.
One million Muslims have been allowed to immigrate to the U.S. in the Obama administration.
In addition, America has suffered a terror attack every year during the Obama presidency.
Every year.
Obama continues to blame the Republicans.
Here you have a guy.
Follow this.
The Orlando shooter is a militant Islamist and a registered Democrat.
And according to Obama, the event, the massacre, is the fault of the NRA and the Republican Party.
A registered Democrat, militant Islamist massacres over 50 people.
And it somehow, at the memorial yesterday, Obama politicizes this, you know, hijacking the memorial and blames the NRA and the Republican Party for this.
And it doesn't seem, except here and in other conservative media outlets, this doesn't seem to be any big deal to anybody.
They just fall right in line and accept it and believe it.
Not just the low information crown, but the drive-by media is happy to spread that news, as was the New York Times.
So in the middle of it, we have Trump out there saying that he's going to not back down on trying to find out what's going on here and put a temporary ban on Muslim immigration and refugees.
And Paul Ryan says that the Republicans, if Trump's elected and tries to do this, the Republicans will sue Trump.
Did you see that?
Well, I have it right here, Talking Points Memo.
It's a leftist blog that is run by a guy by the name of Josh Marshall.
But if you're a blogger, you have to call him Joshua Micah Marshall because the bloggers refer to each other in as formal names as they can.
Paul Ryan on stopping a President Trump's Muslim ban will sue him.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has made clear he doesn't agree with a proposal put forward by the Trumpster, whom Ryan has endorsed to ban Muslim immigration to the U.S., but in an interview with the Huffing and Puffington Post on Thursday, Speaker Ryan floated taking President Trump to court if he tried to implement such a ban or some of his other controversial proposals unilaterally.
I would say any president that exceeds his or her powers, Ryan said in a back and forth about Trump's claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.
Ryan said he wasn't sure the legal question of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own is president.
This is not mind-boggling.
We're going to sue a potential President Trump while we have signaled to the current Democrat president that there are no stops.
Whatever you want to do, Barack, have at it.
We're going to give you the money you ask for and maybe even more.
And we're not going to institute impeachment proceedings whatsoever, so have at it.
But here's Trump before even officially nominated.
The Republican leadership is talking about how they're going to go wherever they have to go to stop him.
It's the establishment speaking.
Yes, it is.
We've got updates on polling data from yesterday, further analysis of the polling data we talked about.
There's really a lot of concern.
We had two stories about the Trumpster yesterday.
The poll that shows, this is a big deal, too, if this is correct.
Because this may, we're all sitting here wondering, have we lost the country?
You know, let me just be blunt.
We are all asking ourselves, are those of us who think the way we do, are we in the minority?
Are there people who don't think and believe the way we do now in the majority?
We're asking ourselves this.
And we're waiting for elections to kind of tell us.
And I had that poll yesterday.
I think this was the CBS poll.
I get them confused.
It was one was Reuters, one was CBS.
And I'm doing it from memory.
I don't have it in front of me.
And please, don't anybody send it to me.
I've got enough paper today.
I don't need to be weighed down with any more data.
Everything I need is in my head.
It showed the question was approve or disapprove of Trump's comments after the Orlando event.
Remember, 25% of the people in the survey agreed with Trump and 51% opposed Trump and thus agreed with Obama's take after the Orlando thing.
And people are saying, how can that be?
25%?
So now people are asking, has Trump been that damn?
Trump hasn't gotten any ads running.
Trump's relying on free media that he's getting.
Trump thinks he's going to be able to counter all the Hillary ads and all the expenditures the PACs are going to make with just constant TV appearances, free meal, like it worked in the primaries.
Karl Roe and other experts out there saying, general election, you can't rely on free media.
You can't control it.
You've got to have ads.
You've got to go out and fundraise and all this.
So you look at 25% versus 51%.
You have to ask yourself, if you assume the poll's accurate, and it's a dangerous road to go down and say, well, we don't believe that poll.
It could be made up, but it's risky to start reacting that way rather than facing what may be the truth.
So 25% disagree.
And what was Trump's response?
Trump's response to me was perfectly reasonable.
This is getting out of hand.
Nobody's doing anything to stop this.
What we're doing or not doing is insane.
We're going to have to put a moratorium here on immigration to find out what's going on and how to deal with it.
Perfect sense to me.
25% agree.
51% disagree.
And by disagreeing, 51% sides with Obama.
And if you look, Obama's approval numbers are plus 50.
52, 53.
Gee, whiz, does that make any sense to anybody?
But then, folks, if you find out how if you dig deep and find out how young people have been educated in this country, essentially textbooks written by a guy named Howard Zinn, I'll explain in detail as the program unfolds.
And you might not have as much trouble understanding, but we've got a point that two and a half generations alive today have been raised having been taught what a rotten place this country is, how it was founded in a totally unjust and immoral way.
And that it was not about liberty and freedom.
It's not about any of the things that people think this country is about.
That's just a myth that the propagandist of, this is what young people have been taught for two generations in grade school, junior high.
Howard Zinn, Z-I-N-N, look it up.
I'll get to it here in just a second.
got a lot to do here today.
Still, you know, the drive-bys, this is one year anniversary of what happened in, what was it, North Carolina, the Dillon roof.
So, guess what's the big news?
Dylan Roof, not Mateen.
One-year anniversary, how horrible right-wing bigots are.
Ted Cruz goes to the Florida Senate and says, you know what?
Everybody's echoing me here, talking about how the left hates us more than they hate ISIS, angrier more at us than they are at ISIS.
It's been obvious to me for quite a while.
Remember the show opened yesterday when I explained to you the Obama administration's program, Countering Violent Extremism?
To sum up, countering violence extremism specifically named to leave out Islamic, Muslim, al-Qaeda, no reference, countering violent extremism specifically, purposely does not mention the kind of terrorism that's happening in this country.
And it's specific and purposeful.
And one of the things that we uncovered yesterday was that the FBI is not permitted to independently investigate Muslim neighborhoods, communities, mosques, or what have you.
They're not allowed to independently gather intelligence.
They cannot even use what militant Islamists post on Facebook and other social media.
This guy did it in Orlando, the San Bernardino II.
They posted their intentions on social media.
The FBI was not allowed to use it.
The only way the FBI can use that is if a representative from an Islamic or Muslim community reaches out to them and says, hey, there's something going on here that we think you should know about.
Can't tell you the email reaction I got to that all afternoon yesterday.
Lance people had no idea.
Well, let's go to the audio sound biceps last night on the Kelly file.
Megan Kelly spoke with James Calstrom, who used to run the New York office of the FBI and is a founding director of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
And she was asking him about the FBI's investigating Omar Siddiqui Mateen and then ending the investigation.
She said, what's going on here?
Why is the FBI not getting these guys, even though they're being told, even though they're on the radar?
Get this wet blanket of political correctness off the backs of law enforcement, off the backs of the FBI.
Last time I was on with you, Megan, I got about 35 calls from agents who are on the job now at different levels saying, boy, you hit the nail on the head.
The rules of engagement, what the Bureau is being told about what they can do and what they can't do.
They can't go sniffing around anything to do with Muslims.
They can't go around to Moss.
They can't do things that they would normally do.
I'm not talking things that are off the charts.
I'm talking about things that normally would be done.
But the audits have come down from the White House.
There you have it.
That's evidence, if you needed it, countering violent extremism.
Here's James Calstrom, the former head of the New York office, the FBI, explaining it.
When he says we can't sniff around, they can't gather intel.
They cannot gather human intelligence.
They can't gather signal intelligence.
They can't gather rumor intelligence.
They can't do any of it until somebody from inside a mosque or the community calls them and says, hey, you know, we're hearing scuttlebuts, some members here may be talking about blowing up a bridge.
We think you ought to know.
That's the only way they can act.
Even if they learn about it, folks, they're not allowed to do anything with it, like the social media.
You talk about tying hands behind back, in front of your back, or what have you.
Megan Kelly said, do you think Director Comey wants to do it that way?
Or wait, you think Comey would rather do it the way you want to do it, the way the FBI used to be able to do these things?
Yes.
But Comey can't talk about it either.
I'd like to think if I was the director, I would talk about it.
Comey needs people.
The FBI needs more people.
So, okay, you've got these hoops they got to jump through, and you've got them being very cautious.
And then you've got the fact that we got this huge population of people that they can't possibly keep track of.
A thousand cases, they couldn't possibly do the types of things they need to be doing.
You know, but people think it's the opposite.
People think the FBI, and I look, I don't think it's not a specific thing.
People have an used to be a justifiable trust in the FBI.
It's the United States government, endless resources.
The FBI is on the cape.
People used to rely on the fact the FBI was on the ⁇ not that they never made mistakes, but that they were there.
Somebody knew what was going on, even if they never announced it, that we were safer because the FBI.
This is not true.
Here's the former head of the New York office, the FBI, admitting they can't do anything.
Now, to me, folks, this is, we report this as just, okay, here's the news today, folks.
What do you think of this?
This is big.
This whole CVE thing is huge.
It is almost tantamount to securing defeat.
It's almost tantamount to making sure that these acts of terror do happen.
And then when they do, what do we hear?
It's the fault of the NRA.
There are too many guns out there because of the Republican Party.
And then a bunch of Nimrod, low-information people start shouting, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you people who you did stupid all over social media.
They have to take a break.
You're the gun shop owner.
Come back and go away.
Grab audio soundbites one and just number one for right now.
And I saw this soundbite on the roster today.
I said, this may be the first time in what, this is 1993 or 94, whenever the world, Oklahoma City bombing, this is the first time I've seen the drive-by media admit this in whatever number to 20 some odd years.
It happened yesterday afternoon, a Fox Business Network's intelligence report with Trish Regan.
That's the name of the show.
And she was speaking with the media buzz, the media analyst expert at Fox News, Howard Kurtz, about the New York Times editorial saying the Orlando terror attack happened because the Republican Party exploits prejudice rather than extinguish it.
The New York Times did say that.
Blame the Orlando attack on the Republican Party because we exploit prejudice.
The host said, Howard, you have the Times saying Orlando is the Republicans' fault, not radical Islam.
Isn't that going too far, Howard?
This has gone on for a long time.
Both sides occasionally have engaged in it.
I can remember when Bill Clinton pointed the finger at Rush Limbaugh saying he'd created or helped create a climate of intolerance before the Oklahoma City bombing.
For the New York Times to take legislative fights about gay rights legislation and somehow tie this to this horrific event when Orlando, I just think goes way too far.
I've never heard anybody in the drive-by media admit that they knew this.
I thought I've been the only, now you may have, I can't follow everything.
I follow more drive-by media than most people do.
It's a wonder I'm still saying, by the way, and in a good mood every day.
I know people that read the drive-by media 15% as much as I do, and they're already in a funk for the rest of their lives.
It's a wonder I'm still stable after having to dispose myself.
But seriously, I have never seen anybody else refer to that.
I've played the soundbites here of Clinton saying, those angry voices of hate.
And we've all heard about the radio.
And they claimed they were talking about the Michigan militia shortwave.
But I've never heard anybody in a drive-by meeting.
I said, they've known all along what Clinton did.
They gave him a pass.
They never once condemned him for it.
And Howard Kurtz really isn't condemning him for it here.
He's just repeating the fact that Clinton did it.
And then by association saying that the New York Times went a little bit far here blaming what went on in Congress.
I guarantee you, Mateen had no idea what's going on in Congress.
He didn't care.
It's Open Line Friday.
Rush Limbaugh wrapping up yet another busy broadcast week.
From here at the EIB Southern Command, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Here's another example of the countering violent extremism program and its impact.
This morning on Fox and Friends, correspondent Griff Jenkins spoke with the gun owner, the gun shop owner, Lotus Gunworks.
His name is Robbie Abel, about having reported Orlando terrorists or Omar Siddiqui Mateen to law enforcement authorities several weeks ago.
Several.
The more we're learning, we're learning that all kinds, it was on the, it was in the FBI watch list, two of them, I think, at least two instances maybe.
It was clearly a situation where this guy was known.
He was people aware of him.
And we're all told, if you see something suspicious, you call it in.
If you see something hot, tell us about it.
And a lot of people were doing that.
And it still didn't stop anything.
And look, folks, there can be only one explanation for this, and that is that this poison of political correctness has paralyzed everybody.
If there is a Muslim or an Islamist or potential jihadist even involved here, people freeze.
For who knows however many reasons, one of which, of course, would be political correctness paralyzes everybody.
But there could also be personal fear involved.
Anyway, the thing that the gun shop owner said is this.
He was asking some odd questions on a high-grade of bulletproof vest, which at the time was concerning the questions how he was asking it.
So we let him know we don't carry it, nor have we ever carried it here.
And when he did, he pulled away and got on a cell phone and was having a conversation with someone of a foreign language.
At that time, it kind of keyed him in that this is odd, him having that conversation and asking for the body armor.
It was concerning, so they had a little meeting and they contacted the authorities on it, that he was suspicious.
Yeah, and they were aware.
This is, you know, they keyed.
He's having this foreign language speaking.
It was an indication that something was not right.
It's almost, remember when we learned that the 9-11 hijackers went in to take flying lessons, they only wanted to know how to land the airplane.
They didn't care about taking off.
They only wanted to know how to land it.
And the reason they wanted to know how to hit on target and didn't raise any red flags.
You know, obvious Islamists walk in, hey, they want to take flying lessons and they don't care about tick off.
Only want to learn to land the plane.
Fine.
We have a course just for that.
And they enroll and sign up and learn how to hit targets.
And we learn about it after the fact.
But we learned that people were aware that this was odd, that it was curious beforehand.
Now this guy walks in requesting body armor.
Let's see, not a lot of profile.
This gunshop owner is going, I probably shouldn't be thinking this.
What a rotten guy I am.
That's what political correct does to you.
It makes you think that you're some kind of Cretan for having a normal, instinctive, and proper, correct reaction.
Intelligence guided by experience is all this guy was having happen to him, the gunshop owner.
Senator McCain, we're moving on here in order in the audio soundbites.
Yesterday, Washington, Capitol Hill, Senator McCain spoke with reporters.
Barack Obama is directly responsible for it because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, Al-Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today, thanks to Barack Obama's failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq, thinking that conflict's in just because we leave.
Multiple reactions to this when people first heard about it, they said, yeah, right on, McCain.
It's about time some Republican stood up and told the truth.
Because so few Republicans do.
Then the next reaction was, wait a minute, that's going far.
You're blaming Obama for the attack on Orlando.
And McCain says, no, no, no, that's not what he said.
It's not what he said.
Listen carefully.
And he's right.
He blamed Obama for the fact that there is ISIS.
And about that, he's entirely correct.
We reviewed the reasons why I don't need a repeat.
Obama could not wait to get out of Iraq, was offered favorable conditions in a negotiation for the U.S. military to stay in Iraq.
Obama rejected for political reasons.
We got out of there that left it wide open.
Hello, ISIS, which is just essentially a branch of al-Qaeda.
When you get right down to it, I mean, they're all pretty much made up of the same ideology, the same desires, and so forth.
We left the place basically stateless, just like Afghanistan was stateless.
Hello, Taliban.
Hello, Osama bin Laden.
And McCain's exactly right, but they've beat up McCain.
He's now starting to withdraw all this, by the way.
You should be a no, should be aware.
McCain's starting to pull back on this.
Let's, if you can stomach it yesterday afternoon in Orlando, after meeting with survivors of the terror attack in Orlando, and I don't think Obama blamed us on a video like he did Benghazi.
We have as many soundbites here as, well, not as many as you can take.
There aren't that many, but I just want you to hear a couple of the things Obama said at the memorial at the memorial after meeting with survivors of the terror attack.
Given the fact that the last two terrorist attacks on our soil, Orlando and San Bernardino, were homegrown, carried out, it appears, not by external plotters, not by vast networks or sophisticated cells, but by deranged individuals warped by the hateful propaganda that they had seen over the internet.
Then we're going to have to do more to prevent these kinds of events from occurring.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
You hear that?
It's the internet's fault.
Yeah, all this hatred on the internet.
Yeah, there's all that propaganda on the internet.
We're going to have to do more to prevent these.
Can you say the words net neutrality?
If you can, then you might be aware of how Obama intends to take control of the internet, using this as justification, which, sadly, many low-information Americans and propagandized Americans themselves will applaud.
But it will not be, Obama's takeover of the internet will not be to prevent these kinds of things from happening.
He's got an entirely different agenda.
All the Democrats do.
It's total control.
It's limiting access to information.
It's about shutting down opposition.
That's why they want control of the internet.
Pure and simple.
So now we're blaming it on it.
We'll blame it on Republicans.
We'll blame it on Republicans to be anti-gay.
That inspired this guy to be anti-gay and then homophobic and all that.
And then we'll not blame Islam at all.
Never mind the fact that there are surveys, just saw them.
Over 50% of American Muslims believe in Sharia law over the Constitution.
Maybe close to 60%.
If I saw it right, 60% of American Muslims prefer Sharia to the U.S. Constitution.
And moderate Muslims, not jihadists, not the militant Islamic extremists or terrorists, but moderate mainstream Muslims are on record as agreeing with some kind of punishment for homosexuality.
Somehow this all is the fault of the Republicans and whatever's going on in Congress.
Obama, the Democrats, progressives can't wait to point fingers and blame.
And the reaction is, my God, we're going to sue Trump.
Well, you know what?
We're going to sue Trump for this Muslim ban of his, just like we've sued Obama.
We've sued Obama.
We've sued three or four times.
Excess of power, we're going to sue.
Here's the next Obama bite, if you can stomach it.
This debate needs to change.
It's outgrown the old political stalemates.
The notion that the answer to this tragedy would be to make sure that more people in a nightclub are similarly armed to the killer defies common sense.
No, why it is that we think our liberty requires these repeated tragedies.
That's not the meaning of liberty.
If we don't act, we will keep seeing more massacres like this because we'll be choosing to allow them to happen.
Your administration allowed them to happen.
You run it all.
You run the FBI.
You run the investigatory agencies.
You run the policing agency.
You let it happen.
You, sir, are preventing any intelligence gathering or investigation of the group of people responsible for Islamic terrorism.
And I'll damn well tell you if somebody in that nightclub had had a gun, a lot fewer people would have died.
That is the common sense.
Let's not forget the starting point.
Mateen was not innocent.
Mateen swore committed to breaking the law.
So whatever law you have is irrelevant.
You can have every law and laws that you haven't even dreamed of written up and signed into law, and it's not going to affect anybody who swears or intends to break them.
The stupidity or the ignorance is not understanding that.
There isn't a gun control law that you could write that would stop Mateen from doing what he did.
You couldn't, if you banned every gun from inside the continental United States, you would not stop Mateen from doing what he did, because there's always going to be a black market of them.
There's always going to be a criminal element that is going to have what the law says you can't have.
There is always going to be a criminal element doing what the law says you can't do.
And if somebody like Mateen, committed as he was, wants to blow up a nightclub filled with homosexuals, he's going to find a way to do it, no matter what law you have there.
It is supremely illogical to think that a piece of paper, which is what a law is, at its base element, it's a piece of paper.
And if you think a piece of paper is going to stop somebody like this, you're a fool.
This is why we talk about the meaning of the rule of law and the respect for it and what it is, the glue that holds societies together.
And it's not people like Mateen or the people he idolizes.
It is foolish.
It is short-sighted and it's dangerously incompetent to think that you can come up with a law or a ban that is going to stop these kinds of things.
By definition, law does not apply to these kinds of people.
Any criminal.
After the fact, what the law does is hand out our reaction and sentencing and punishment and all that.
But the law is not a preventative to the people who choose not to obey it.
What is so hard to understand about this?
You could, well, you could never do this.
But I'm saying if this regime wanted to begin a confiscation program, let's just pretend hypothetically they can confiscate every gun that exists in this country.
I know it couldn't happen, but I just want you to pretend with me.
It still would not stop events like this.
By definition, the law only stops the law abiding.
And the law abiding are not blowing up nightclubs or schools or movie theaters.
What is so difficult to understand about this?
Okay, back we are.
El Rushbo on Open Line Friday.
Great to have you here.
Ted Cruz went to the floor of the Senate yesterday to talk about the incident in Orlando.
See what you think of this.
We have three bites.
Here's the first one.
Democrat after Democrat standing for hours incensed, not at ISIS, incensed, not at radical Islamic terrorism, incensed that Americans have a right to keep and bear arms.
I think the American people find it ridiculous that in response to an ISIS terror attack, the Democrats go on high dungeon that we've got to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
Well, 10 years ago, I would have agreed with him, but I don't think that's the case anymore.
I don't think it's, folks, I really, I don't think we can now say, quote, I think the American people find it ridiculous that in response to an ISIS terror attack, the Democrats blame the Second Amendment.
I don't think a majority of Americans do blame the Democrats.
I think more Americans than you would care to admit agree with the Democrats.
Let's be honest about it.
Democrats have succeeded via the educational system in really dumbing down two generations of Americans.
You know, I'm going to find that Howard Zen story here, and I'm going to lead with that monologue segment in the next hour.
It will explain a lot.
All you have to do is patrol social media.
All you have to do look at the comments on I don't care what website you go to.
The ignorance, the anger, the outrage at us is everywhere.
You don't find any outrage at ISIS on social media.
You don't find any outrage at terrorism.
You don't find any anger.
The anger is full-throated and singularly concentrated on us.
10 years ago, it would have been accurate to say the American people find it ridiculous that in response to a terror attack, the Democrats blame the Second Amendment and law-abiding citizens.
I think it's applauded by a lot of Americans today.
That's why we're in the situation where it's why we have the problem that we have.
If it were otherwise, Barack Obama's approval would be 25%, folks.
It would be 30, 35%.
How is it that George W. Bush's approval was at 30 and Barack Obama's at 53?
Acknowledging, not acknowledging, we are assuming the polls are accurate.
It's dangerous to not do that because you can't start cherry-picking.
Here's the next cruise soundbite.
Over and over again, we have seen the Obama administration having ample information to stop a terrorist attack.
And yet, because of the political correctness, because of the ideology of this administration that won't even say the word jihad, won't even say the words radical Islamic terrorism, they look the other way and the attacks go forward.
Let's squeeze the final one in.
I can only do that with no commentary.
Here we go.
President Obama and Vice President Biden are going down.
They will no doubt give a self-righteous speech about gun control, trying to strip away the rights of law-abiding Americans.
How about them standing up and having the president pledge that ISIS will be driven from the face of the earth?
You want to see a response to murdering innocent Americans?
If you declare war on America, you're signing your death warrant.
That is the response of a commander-in-chief.
That's the seriousness we need.
Well, why don't we have it?
And why aren't the American people outraged that we don't have it?
Hmm?
There have to be answers to both of my questions.
Let's take a break.
We will continue in mere moments.
