Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Man, oh man, ladies and gentlemen, now it is getting good.
It's getting good everywhere out there.
I have just about laughed myself into paralysis here about 10 minutes ago when Snerdley brought me something.
It's in the New York Daily News today that I missed.
It explains why I'm trending at the top of Facebook's news, whatever it is, on the lesbian farmers.
When you hear this, I don't know that I'm going to be able to explain this to you without cracking up.
And then, who knew?
You mentioned what's lesbian Jeb Bush today?
Who knew?
I'm sorry, folks.
She's a bigot.
Who knew?
First, they tried Marco Rubio.
They tried the gang of eight.
They tried Jeb Bush.
They tried any number of people to convince.
They tried me.
They sent emissaries to the EIB Southern Command.
They tried everybody they could think of to try to convince the Republican base to support some form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
I'm sorry Who knew?
I know it frustrates you to hear me.
I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Regain my composure.
Who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come and convert the GOP base to supporting amnesty?
The same week, Ann Coulter's book comes out.
Poor Ann.
Oh, my God, she's got this book in Trump We Trust.
And in it, she says the only thing, the only thing that could cause Trump any trouble whatsoever is if he flip-flops on abortion or on immigration goes amnesty.
And it looks like he's getting close to it.
And she's out.
She's just beside herself with this.
I mean, what, what timing?
Greetings, my friends.
It's great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB microphone, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, you know, send an email.
We have a new email address.
It is elrushbow at EIBnet.us.
Pardon me.
I have to dry my eyes here.
I was watching CNN today.
You know, I really like the Trump spokeswoman, Katrina Pearson.
Pardon the sniffles, folks.
I really, if Snerdley hadn't shown me this, I would have totally missed it.
I really like Katrina Pearson.
I think she goes in there and stands up for Trump against all kinds of odds.
She's on CNN today.
And the subject in the roundtable is Trump's near-flip-flop.
Not all there yet, but near flip-flop on amnesty.
And this whole notion that he's softening his position on immigration.
They asked her to explain what Trump's doing.
And she said, well, he hasn't changed his thinking on this.
He's just changing the words that he's using.
I stared at the TV and there were four other people on the panel and they started laughing and tried to stop.
They started smirking.
They had to go to a commercial break early because nobody could keep a straight face.
After, no, no, no, he's not changing what he thinks at all.
He's just changing the words that he is using.
Well, we'll get to that in the great detail that only we can do here at the EIB network and offer the perspective that only we can offer.
But first, you remember yesterday I was informed that I found myself to get at the top of the, what is it called?
It's the top of the Facebook trending, whatever it is.
I'm up there at the top.
And it's over the story we had one week ago about the Agriculture Department making financial grants available to lesbians if they would become farmers.
Okay, hang on just a second here, folks.
I've got to blow my nose.
I mean, really, I have been in uncontrollable mirth here.
Thank you.
Pardon me for that.
People watching on the ditto cam could see me blow my nose, but they couldn't hear it.
So I said, okay, why now, though?
Why has this taken a week?
So Snerdley walks in here today, and he's carrying a news story that he's printed out, and he's holding it so that I can't miss it.
It's a New York Daily News story.
Rush Limbaugh warns Obama regime is sending government-paid lesbian farmers to invade red states.
What in the world is this?
And Snerdley said, they are livid.
They are as angry at you as they have ever been over any, except what for?
He said, read it.
You'll see.
So the thing that puzzled me about this was I didn't make anything up.
I barely even added to it.
I mean, I could have used all kinds of lines about zucchini, but I didn't.
You know, I tried to keep it all above board talking about lesbian farmers invading red states.
It was a Washington Free Beacon or Washington Examiner story a week ago yesterday about an event that actually took place in Iowa where the Department of Agriculture is indeed offering grant money to lesbians and others if they'll go out in rural areas and start farming.
Did the story, been there, done that, moved on.
It shows up number one, trending at Facebook, and then I hear late-night comedians are talking about it.
Then I see this story, and it's just, it's just hilarious.
In his latest crazy on-air rant, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh accused the regime, the Obama regime, of trying to unleash on red states a scandalous scourge of lesbian farmers.
What they're trying to do is convince lesbians to become farmers, he told listeners.
There's a specific sinister motive to the shift Limbaugh claimed, ruining conservative voting blocks.
Snerdley, what do you think it is that has them so dang mad about this?
Here.
Then they quote me on this, and they quote me accurately.
They say they're trying to bust up one of the largest geographically conservative regions in the country.
It's rural America.
Rural America happens to be largely conservative.
Rural America is made up of self-reliant, rugged individualist types.
They happen to be big believers of Second Amendment.
Okay, said that, quoted me accurately.
And then they keep quoting me.
So here comes the regime with a bunch of federal money and they're waving it around.
And all you got to do to get it is be a lesbian and want to be a farmer and they'll set you up.
And then I said, I'm like you.
I never before in my life knew that lesbians wanted to be farmers.
And I suspect what really ticked them off was my next line.
And like I say, I could have thrown in things like about zucchini and carrots and any number, but I didn't.
I kept it above board.
The next line was, I never knew that lesbians wanted to get behind the horse and the plow and start burrowing.
That's probably what ticked them off.
Never lesbians wanted to get behind the horse.
I even laughed at my own line when I read it.
I never knew it, but apparently enough money made it happen.
Limbaugh's atrocious rant on August 17th, which just started gaining traction online over a week later, was sparked by the Iowa LGBT Rural Summit.
For the Des Moines event, the USDA collaborated with LGBT groups to educate the gay community about a variety of policies, including rural housing loans, community facility grants, and bullying, according to the event website.
The Washington Free Beacon fanned the flames of lunacy with an August 16th article titled Feds Holding Summits for Lesbian Farmers.
Limbaugh took that and ran with it.
There's nothing that I said that isn't true.
In fact, they in the New York Daily News provide more information about this than I did.
And the information they provide actually crosses T's, dots, I's, and exclamation points the things that I did say about it.
The all-day summit will teach lesbian and transgender hillbillies how to get subsidies from the government like rural housing loans and community facility grants.
That's what the newspaper wrote.
I didn't say that.
The Washington Free Beacon did.
Limbaugh took that and ran with it.
And they quote me again.
You sit in there and you laugh.
Okay, go ahead and laugh at it, but I'm telling you what they're doing.
And then they talk about how Twitter heard about it and erupted in anger and outrage and humor.
And it shows up number one on the Facebook, whatever it is.
And then Conan O'Brien, this is last night on his show, audio soundbite number one.
Didn't even know this until today.
Rush Limbaugh said something pretty interesting.
Rush Limbaugh is saying that President Obama is encouraging lesbians to become farmers.
President Obama is encouraging lesbians to become farmers.
Yeah.
Then someone explained to Rush, that's just how lesbians dress.
So O'Brien.
Conan O'Brien making fun of the Lesbos, not me.
His joke, he makes fun of the Lesbos.
And it makes it look like I'm naive and don't know how Lesbos dress.
But this woman at the Daily News, what's your name?
Carrie Blackinger.
I mean, the outrage is palpable.
And I'm thinking, you know, if Bill Maher had said exactly what I said, they would be suggesting he should get an Emmy for great humor and comedy and creativity in television or what have you.
And it's, it's, I literally, when I saw this and I first read it, not knowing it was coming, I was out of control in laughter at so many elements.
How angry they are over this when every aspect of it is true.
Well, well, one thing, the one point that I made that is not in the Free Beacon story is why is the regime doing this?
The regime is doing this to invade rural America because it is a conservative outpost.
Now, you can laugh or you can get mad at that, but Obama's doing the same thing to suburbia, which we have talked about at great length here with housing policies.
And the upshot of that is: if you're a developer, say the Westchester County outside Manhattan, and if you want to build a new housing development, you have to, in order to get permits to build it, you have to build low-income, affordable housing as part of the development, or you're not going to be permitted.
And it's all rooted in the fact that the left is really angry that people who had the ability to left the cities, went to suburbia, made their own lives, were able to escape whatever they didn't like about the cities, but the poor had to stay.
Stanley Kurtz has written about this in a number of articles and I think even a book about one of the great hidden agendas of the Obama administration is the conquering of suburbia because he doesn't like that what the suburbs really are is people who have fled the cities and it's not fair that some have been able to leave the cities while others haven't.
So this is to make it easily more easy or easier for people in the city to actually infiltrate suburbia.
It's the same thing going on with the lesbian farmers.
As I say, I could have cracked a lot of jokes that I didn't crack.
I tried to keep this above board.
I tried to keep this respectful.
I tried to keep it family-oriented.
I didn't go anywhere near the lines I could have.
I could have done it with different words.
I could have, it's amazing.
There's no anger at the Washington Free Beacon for doing the story, and they're the source.
And in fact, the event did happen.
The regime does want lesbians to become farmers, and they're paying them to do so.
They're offering grants.
Okay.
Now, some of you might be a little perplexed at my comment about Trump being the Republican to come along and convert the Republican base to supporting Amnesty.
We will explain this as the program unfolds.
I'm going to tell you, Ted Cruz and the Cruz supporters are all over the place out there in Politico Cruz and saying, We told you, we told you, we told you that every Trump policy has an expiration date.
And it looks like Trump's immigration policy has just expired and he is now adopting the policy that we all had.
And Jeb Bush is out.
Well, is it Jeb actually saying it or somebody saying it for Jeb?
Yeah, Trump is out saying, don't doubt me on this.
I'm going to fix it.
And they say, well, that's exactly what Jeb Bush said.
Jeb Bush's immigration policy is exactly what Trump's articulating now, including saying, trust me, I'll fix it.
But it all leads to the question, will this cause a problem with Trump supporters?
I've done an informal survey here, and apparently it won't.
That's why I say, who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come along and convert the GOP base to supporting amnesty?
I don't see a lot of people preparing to abandon Trump over this.
Maybe Coulter.
Who knows what she's going to do?
I mean, her book hits, and it's just had the rug pulled out from under it.
What else?
Well, there's a number of other aspects about this.
Let me take a break and give myself enough side time on the other side of this to keep going.
But hang in there, folks, because we are just cracking the lid now.
We'll see what's inside when we get back.
Welcome back, El Rushbo.
As always, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I don't think, including Trump, I don't think there's anybody that irritates the left more than I do.
I know how to do it.
I do it even when I'm not trying to do it.
And I'm trying to do it.
I know how to tweak them.
I know how to irritate them.
And it's fun.
And it's even more fun when it happens and I'm not aware of it.
I think, as I say, I'm even better at that than Trump is.
Speaking of Trump, here's the Katrina Pearson soundbite that I mentioned.
It was on CNN this morning.
And here's who was on the panel.
It was Amanda Cooper.
She used to work for Cruz.
She was a communications director.
And Erica Hill.
There were two others there, maybe three, in a total of five people, including Katrina Pearson.
And they all were on at the same time with headshots.
And the question was to Katrina, how do you square these two?
And I'm quoting, Trump says, I just want to follow the law.
We'll work with them, meaning the illegal immigrants, which everybody up to now thought he's going to deport them.
I mean, he said, they got to go.
They got to go.
What people don't know, may not remember, and I'm going to remind you, is that Trump has said they're going to come back.
But he has made it plain that they're going to be deported.
And so Katrina Pierce was asked to explain what all this is.
He hasn't changed his position on immigration.
He's changed the words that he is saying.
What he has always said is that he does not know that he does not want to allow people to stay in this country illegally.
He does want to build the wall, but he wants to work.
And that's exactly what he has said from the they were smirking.
They were laughing.
They were having trouble keeping straight face when she said he hasn't changed his position.
He's changed the words.
And then she tried to explain what she means, and they laughed even more because somebody then spoke up as Katrina.
He said, get them out.
He's been very clear about that.
This is a change.
This is a shift.
It's a flip-flop.
It's an evolution of whatever words you want to use.
No, Erica, it's the how that's being discussed now.
He's always said if they're here illegally, they have to go.
Before he talked about the how he was going to be able to do it.
But now he's the deportation force.
So now he is shifting.
Katrina, there is a definite different message that we're hearing now.
There's not a different message.
He's using different words to give that message because everyone on the news is saying that he's a bigot and that he's a racist because of the words that he uses.
Now he's simply saying, yes, we are going to follow the law.
We are going to enforce the law, which ICE is immigration and customs.
They do remove people from the country who are here illegally.
He wants to start with the criminals.
I can point to several speeches he's given saying the exact same thing.
Okay, so her point is nothing's changed here.
He's just changing the words and he's trying to soften the way his policy sounds to people.
But all he's going to do is what he's always said he's going to do.
He's going to enforce the law.
If they're here illegally, they're going to go.
They got to go.
They got to go.
They're going to come back, but they got to go.
And we're going to build a wall that Mexico's going to pay for.
That's basically where it is right now.
New polling data out.
This is from thehill.com.
Hillary Clinton leads Trump by three points in the latest national poll.
It's a tighter margin than earlier this month.
It's 4744 Hillary.
The poll is the economist slash yougov online poll, registered voters based on a head-to-head matchup.
Hillary had a three-point edge in the poll early this month, but she had expanded that to six to seven points in recent weeks, now back down to three points.
Headline should be, Hillary loses half of her lead over Trump.
But of course, it never will be.
I'll tell you, we had polls yesterday showing Hillary only up two in Florida.
Maybe Trump was up two in Florida.
The race is tightening.
And what's amazing about the race tightening, and you can see this, the drive-bys in their coverage and even on some conservative websites that are never Trumpers, they're expecting, with all of the Trump softening and the slight modification of his position on issues, they are expecting massive abandonment of Trump by his supporters, and it's not happening.
Now, I don't know what's going to happen yet with the immigration, which is being portrayed here as a flip-flop.
And believe me, people are piling on now and claiming that Trump's position is no different than Marco Rubio's now.
It's no different than what Jeb Bush's was.
In fact, he's even using the exact words Jeb Bush used in a Telemundo interview, which Trump attacked.
Trump attacked Jeb for being weak and gutless and this kind of thing.
And now he's adopting Jeb lingo on this.
And it remains to be seen.
That's why I said at the opening of the program, who knew that it would be Donald Trump that would finally bring the Republican base along into not outright objecting amnesty.
And the reason for that is that Trump's supporters are going to stick with him no matter what.
Now, people argue why that is.
I have my own theories as to why Trump's supporters are loyal, and I know that my theories are pretty much dead on.
And there are a bunch of reasons that explain it.
One is, and in no order of priority, one is that a total, total opposition to Hillary Clinton.
A lot of people downplay that, by the way.
A lot of people are saying, no, no, no, no, the Trump voters, they don't care.
They don't care.
It wouldn't matter.
They're Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, because Trump represents exactly what they hate about everything.
It wouldn't matter if Hillary was the nominee.
It wouldn't matter if they put John Kerry in there.
It doesn't matter who it is.
The Trumpers would still be with Trump no matter what.
Well, yeah, probably.
But I'm warning everybody, do not make the mistake of believing that Hillary is not a factor in the support Trump has.
She's huge, but there are other reasons as well.
The New York Times has not published one word of that AP story.
Hillary Clinton selling access over half the people that she met as Secretary of State paid for it.
By the way, if you heard the way Hillary's team is attacking this, they're saying, well, but the AP left out all of the government people she met with.
I mean, Hillary met with thousands of people at the State Department, thousands of people at the Defense Department, thousands of people in the executive branch.
Exactly.
That's what she should do.
You shouldn't count them.
That's what the job is.
The AP's point was, of all the non-governmental people she met with, over half of them paid for it.
There's no way they can spin this into not being a blockbuster story.
And the proof of that is that the New York Times won't even cover it.
The New York Times won't even mention it.
From the Washington Post, Trump softening on immigration, many of his supporters don't seem to mind.
That's the headline.
Trump has been signaling for days that he might be open to a softening of one of his most extreme immigration positions and no longer call for the deportation of 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
He and his aides seem to be testing the waters, setting off alarm bells among some conservatives who've rallied around Trump's hardline immigration stance.
But judging from the rallygoers in Tampa yesterday and at an event Tuesday in Austin, many rank-and-file voters will give Trump relatively broad latitude to alter the parameters of his immigration policies.
That's a wordy way of saying that Trump's supporters are not going to sell him out.
Trump's supporters are not going to abandon him on this.
They're not going to be talked into abandoning Trump.
They're not going to believe what other people say in analyzing Trump about what he means.
They're going to continue to believe Trump.
And Trump is saying my position hasn't changed.
None whatsoever.
We're going to enforce the law.
If they're here illegally, we're going to send them back.
Now, one of the things that happened, there was a town hall meeting last night on the Fox News Channel.
Was Sean Hannity, the whole hour with Trump.
And this was one of the more incredible such events that I have seen.
What happened was that in the midst of discussing all this, Trump started his office.
He said, Well, you know, what do you think?
We've got people who have been here 20 years.
They've not broken the law.
They've got kids.
They've got families.
I mean, you want to be compassionate.
Maybe we don't send those people back.
Then he turned around and asked the audience, what do you think?
What do you think my policy ought to be?
And that's the first.
I've been trying to think if I can ever recall a presidential candidate anywhere turning to the audience at a rally or anywhere and asking, taking a poll what his audience thinks that he ought to do.
I'm used to candidates who know what their policy is and telling the audience what it is and trying to persuade the audience to understand it, agree with it, and help the candidate promote it.
In this case, Trump turned to the audience on the town hall and said, what do you think?
And a form of chaos ensued because there was massive disagreement among the audience members of this town hall last night.
But you still have to remind yourself that Trump is outside the normal parameters of what people expect politics to be.
Therefore, what happened last night with Hannity is, as far as Trumpers are concerned, no big deal.
No big deal.
This is all about standing out and being different from the scripted playbook of American politics.
So who cares if Trump turned around and asked the crowd what they think he ought to do?
We like that.
That's refreshing, they say.
Here's a candidate who cares what we think.
Here's a candidate who's willing to factor what we think into this before he makes his decision.
Here's a candidate willing to talk to us about his policy.
So whereas the traditional blue-blood establishment types are looking at this, oh my God, this is a disaster.
You don't do this.
You don't do a town hall.
You turn to the crowd and ask them what they think.
People in Trump world don't see it that way at all, or many don't.
I mean, there might be some who think, this makes me uncomfortable.
The guy doesn't seem sure of himself.
And then the chaos, I mean, chaos did ensue, a mild form of chaos, meaning the audience, there were disagreements even among the audience, and they had to spend a little effort in getting things back under control.
Still, there is no doubt that Trump is trying to change the way he is perceived on this issue.
And people are eagle-eyeing this and asking themselves if this is going to have a killer impact on his campaign because this, you know, immigration is viewed as the one issue, the issue that has made Trump, the issue that separated him from the PAC.
And if there is the slightest doubt among his supporters, the slightest fear that Trump is going to abandon his long-held position on this in any meaningful way, then what will they do?
And while all this is happening, now polling data doesn't yet factor in the last couple of days, but while all of this is happening, the race is tightening.
Hillary is losing ground in a lot of places, and Trump is gaining ground.
And while all this is going on, Hillary is not looking good either.
I mean, have you seen, you know, we're not supposed to point this out.
And I pointed it out the other day.
I'm going to mention it to it again.
I saw her at a personal appearance.
I don't know if it was a rally.
But it must have been scorching hot because every woman in the picture that I saw was wearing sleeveless tops, tank tops, what have you, shorts.
And Hillary shows up in a house coat, looked like a heavy house coat, long-sleeve house coat, giant captain kangaroo type pockets, and slacks.
And she showed up that way again.
Then there's a picture of her getting into her SUV, and they have to put a step, a stool down there for her to step on because it's too high for her to comfortably get in from the street.
So all of the photos of Hillary Clinton, and these are things that create perceptions that nobody talks about, but impressions are made on people.
And she does not present a picture of robust vigor and vim and energy.
And now she's actually linking Trump to the Ku Klux Klan.
This is in response to Trump calling her a bigot.
And by the way, that line was written.
It was on the teleprompter and he delivered it, meaning they wanted to say it.
He wanted to say it.
It didn't just pop into his head.
He didn't go off-prompter to mention it.
So, I mean, it's this is this is getting more intense than anybody thought it would be at this time.
I mean, this is August.
You know, half the drive-bys are on vacation.
This is the dog days.
And yet it is intense as people expected it to be post-Labor Day.
We have more.
Your phone calls included, so don't go away, folks.
I'll be right back.
All right.
Look, let me take it seriously for just a second.
I got some emails that I checked during the break.
Rush, really?
You laugh about it.
Why are they mad at you over this lesbian farmer story?
And they are.
If you read this New York Daily News, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop laughing.
I know it's frustrating to listen to somebody laugh as though they've lost their composure.
I thought I did a good job of regaining my composure in a decent amount of time.
Here's the real reason they're mad, folks.
And I think this is, it makes the point that I've always made.
The reason they're mad, they think that it is stupid.
They think it is, what's the word, conspiratorial, kooky, whatever to think that Obama and the Democrats would dangle money in front of lesbians to have them become farmers and go to rural areas where mostly conservatives live.
They think that's the stupidest thing they've ever heard.
And why do they think that?
Because, well, A, they're leftists and they're young millennials and they have no, they have had no education.
They've had no instruction in ideology.
They don't know what liberalism is.
They don't know how liberals work.
They haven't the slightest idea.
When somebody like me comes along and makes a statement like I made, yep, Obama, the USDA, dangling financial grants in front of LGBTs, lesbians included, encourage them to take the money and go out and be farmers.
Okay, that's one thing.
But then to tell people why, that's where they, how dare he think this is just about invading conservative, because they have never been instructed, taught, conditioned to understand liberalism.
They think they know what conservatism is because it's bashed all the time.
But liberalism is something that they've not had any instruction in.
They have no understanding of the politics of the ideology of liberalism.
So as millennials who are afraid of controversy and need safe spaces, they react in outrage to something that they don't understand and think that I am some kind of lunatic.
When in fact, if they would listen to me and just take a moment to investigate what I'm saying, they might actually learn something.
Here's Scott in Houston as we start on the phones.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Yes, you hit perfectly on the Donald Trump turning to the audience.
I've been yelling and screaming all morning at Good Morning America.
Why aren't they covering that?
That is George Washington.
It doesn't matter what Trump thinks.
It doesn't matter what I think.
He wants to know what the people think.
And I think that goes straight to our Constitution.
We the people.
I remember Governor Perry did the same thing with two things that he wanted, but us people here in Texas and we didn't want it.
He's like, you know what?
I'm for the people.
The people don't want it.
And I changed that.
Show me anybody in Washington that'll do that.
And when that happened last night, I was so excited.
I'm like, our country might actually come back to us.
Hey, wait a second.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, just a second.
Because let me rephrase here so people know what you're talking about.
On the town hall last night on Fox, during the discussion of immigration and deportation and quote-unquote amnesty, Trump turned to the crowd.
It's a town hall meeting and asked them what they think he ought to do.
And you'll have to admit that a mild form of chaos ensued because there was disagreement among the crowd and it looked for a while like they had lost control of the show.
Now, I've had people, just so you know, Scott, tell me, and it's all anecdotal, and just to give you something to bounce off of here, a lot of people have told me they don't like that.
They don't want a candidate that turns to the audience and asks what he should do.
They want a candidate who knows what he's going to do, is confident about it, and is out trying to persuade other people to agree with him.
But you are making my point.
Trump turns to the people, hey, what do you got it?
And they love it.
They absolutely love it because that to them is Trump listening to them because he cares, right?
Exactly.
I had tears in my eyes.
It's just that that's we, the people.
It's our country.
And it's just, it's fascinating that they're not even covering that.
That's groundshaking, you know?
Right.
And so I happen to mention it because I have, well, I knew it was important.
I knew it was a big deal.
And that's why you think, well, I'm the only show here where you've heard this mentioned, right?
Rush, you have been in my life over 25 years, and I'm going to start crying, but yes, man, thank you for everything that you have taught me.
I mean, all my life, this three hours that I spend at work when I listen to you is the only time a day that life makes sense because people can't see.
Can you see what's going on?
I have a 10-year-old daughter that I want the America I grew up in.
I want her to grow up in that.
And they're changing it.
Don't change the Constitution.
I want everything for my daughter to have.
Scott, I'm glad you called, and I thank you very much.
You've been out there for 20 years, and it's obviously paid off for you.
It's obviously been very beneficial.
You're extremely informed, highly passionate, and very articulate.
Honored to have you out there.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
I got an idea how to soften this whole Obama dangling money to lesbian farmers.
What Trump could do is say he supports it because we're going to need to replace some of the farm workers who are going to be deported under the Trump immigration policy.
So he could come along and say, you know, I've heard about the administration dangling federal grants to lesbians to become farmers in rural areas, and we're going to need replacement workers out there.
It might be a way.
And he could broaden his base again in ways that would irritate the left.
I mean, going after the lesbian and gay transgender movement, whoa.
