Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings to you once again, music lovers, conversationalists, and thrill seekers all across the fruited plane.
It's time for more broadcast excellence from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It's great to have you here.
You know, the risk of sounding deplorable.
I couldn't help it.
I'm watching Obama give his swan song address to the United Nations.
And by the way, it it looked just like the Cantina scene in Star Wars again.
The General Assembly just does.
And Obama's up totally, totally talking about himself and how great he's been, and how great America was and is.
And he limited his apologies, and it was uh it was a typical, you know, I've been I've been really good, underappreciated, and y'all gonna miss me when I'm gone.
That's basically what he said.
But while he was talking, I couldn't, and I know it sounds deplorable to say this, proudly, but I was just imagining how much fun it would be to hear Trump addressing the UN.
I mean, can you imagine if Trump wins one year from now, it'll be Trump addressing the UN.
Can you imagine the buildup to that?
Can you imagine the threatened boycotts?
You know, it might even wait a number of people have suggested it would be better if we just close the UN and take it out of business.
Trump might be able to accomplish that just by winning the presidency.
So I was having all kinds of fun imagining what that whole scenario uh would uh would look like.
Anyway, um folks, we have the uh we have high highlights, soundbites not highlights, sound bites of Obama's Swan Song Address.
There is a great, great this is in fact the one.
There is a column today by Victor Davis Hanson at National Review Online.
And the headline titled, and I don't know that he wrote the headline, I'm just giving you the uh identifier here.
Never never Trump.
This is the definitive piece criticizing the never Trumpers for their decision to oppose Trump at all costs, even if it means the election of Hillary Clinton.
Uh and when I say it is the one, it's the definitive.
It is it's the piece that everybody who is really bothered by the Never Trumpers and can't understand why in the world they would do anything that would facilitate the election of Hillary Clinton, although we do know why.
Get in trouble mentioning why, because it offends them.
But I mean, we there they're I don't know, couple dozen reasons, but three or four primary reasons why the never Trumpers are never Trumpers, but Victor Davis Hanson, slices and dices.
It prints to 10 pages, so I can't read the whole thing.
And it's uh well worth your reading, so I'm sure by now Coco's gonna link to it.
And uh I will highlight certain aspects of it as the program unfolds before your very eyes and uh and ears today.
But I think I think people are stealing from me.
Do you remember last week?
Yeah, it was last week.
Last week was the week after Hillary had the seizure and the near collapse being thrown into the van after the 9-11.
Yeah.
And I offered an idea to Trump.
I said, you know what, the first debate you should show up with a with a surgical mask.
Because they said she had pneumonia and pneumonia is contagious.
Well, they said hers was non-contagious, mild bacterial pneumonia.
And I said, Trumping, you should show up with a surgical mask.
It's just, and of course, the outrage over that would just be incalculable.
Well, guess what?
Jimmy Fallon did it when Hillary showed up on the show last night.
This on the Tonight Show, we have the audio of this.
Um Jimmy Fallon interviewing Hillary Clinton, and here's his introduction.
It's tonight's show.
Welcome to Hillary Clinton.
Welcome, welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome.
Uh, Thank you so much.
It is great to have you here.
Let's talk about you so much for being welcome.
I am not contagious.
Right, so he's got the surgical mask on.
So she's obviously in on the joke.
So my idea has been purloined before Trump could uh could get to it.
But anyway, she would not have been on it had it been Trump's idea, and the media would not have been on it.
Can you imagine?
And I know some of your detractors, all you want to do, Russia.
She said, Oh, you want to do just you want to continue shock and just want the outrage?
No, no, that's not all I want to do.
As I say, I'm fantasizing.
I'm thinking about some of these things that could well happen based on, you know, experience guided by intelligence.
Uh that you know will never happen, but you'd still love to see them happen.
Try this.
I'm going through show prep today, run across this headline.
Hillary Clinton vows to speak directly to white people to stop racial police shootings.
It's a Breitbart story today.
The subhead Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton vows that she will tackle the racism in the nation's law enforcement system.
We gotta tackle the systemic racism, this horrible shooting again.
How many times do we have to see this in our country?
She said in an appearance on a radio show.
Clinton was specifically referring to the police shooting of Terrence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma, saying it had his hands in the air when he was killed.
Clinton told Harvey that if the American African American community came out and voted for her, she would work to stop racial shootings by police officers.
Maybe I can by speaking directly to white people.
Look, this is not how would she do this?
I mean, we know how she speaks when she goes to Selma.
I'm sorry, when she goes to Selma, I no way hard.
She gets that black African American dialect, well, as good as she can.
How would she speak to white people?
Hillary Clinton vows to speak directly to white people.
There are no statistics, by the way, anywhere that support any of this that she is inciting.
The fraternal order of police have endorsed Trump, and here she is.
If if the Hillary P. If you wonder why you can't shake Trump, if you wonder why you're not at 70% at Trump's 30%, this is why.
You know, it's patently obvious the establishment types still to this moment do not understand why Trump supporters support Trump.
They don't understand what the primary objections that people have to them are.
But the worst thing is they don't care.
That's what you in an establishment in the bubble, the elite circles you can get away with not caring.
But it's it's uh still all speaking of that.
Yes, yes, yes.
I got an email.
First thing I saw when I woke up this morning, I had an email about this situation with Kathleen Kennedy was at the home of George H. W. Bush last year.
What it was, you know, he he started the Thousand Points of Light Foundation.
That was one of his campaign slogans in his first term.
And I, of course, in point of light number 773 in the Thousand Points of Light.
And there was a there was a uh I don't know, a reception cocktail party of sorts at the Bush family home in Maine, I believe it was last night.
And it's intended to be a bipartisan effort that demonstrates the ability of uh disparate groups of people to work together towards solutions to the common goal.
So Thousand Points of Light is uh is is what you would think uh a bipartisan Republicans and Democrats, leftists and rightists can come together and show that they can agree on helping people through poverty or whatever.
Ostensibly, what there's no witnesses to this.
Apparently, what happened?
Kathleen Kennedy was talking to George H.W. Bush.
She posed for a picture with him.
And then the next thing she knows, you know, she posts the picture on Facebook and claims that 41 told her that he's voting for Hillary.
Now there's nobody that saw it.
I have it on good authority.
There are no witnesses to this.
All we have is Kathleen Kennedy, the last name Townsend, and her assertion, and of course, the Bush family spokesman, when asked about it, his vote is private.
He has never intended to announce who he's going to vote for and isn't going to now.
So they're taking that, hey, it's a non-denial.
They would have denied it.
So now the words out there that George H.W. Bush told Kathleen Townsend Kennedy, your Kennedy Townsend is going to vote for Hillary.
And there's really no way of knowing.
You just have to take it on faith one way or the uh or the other.
The what do you think about this, though?
What do you think of Kathleen Kennedy?
I mean, this is a, I know it's a thousand points of light foundation type meeting.
And trust me on this, you can't assume that everybody that shows up at these things considers it an off the record kind of event.
It's not really supposed to be political.
So Kathleen Kennedy thinks she hears something or makes it up, or he did say it.
We don't know.
But then she goes to Facebook and puts it out all over the world.
What do you think of that?
I know look, I know she's in Kennedy, and she may not have known that you understand this.
Uh, but the likelihood is that she knew exactly what she was doing.
So she's in the living room of the former president of the United States, and they're having a chat, I guess, and she decides to divulge part of what was said.
And so I well, no, I can't give you any insight over what the truth is, I wasn't there.
And I'm not going to play the game of guessing based on how I know, I mean, I know George H.W. Bush.
And I um, and he's in his 90s.
And there's a lot, there's a lot of things you could say, but all of it would be speculation.
So I I don't think it's gonna matter anyway.
This is this is the the bottom, even if he did say it, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is out there saying it isn't gonna matter.
I mean, it's it's it's I think if something like that is something if Hillary needs, then she's in bad shape.
If Hillary needs the so-called endorsement, oh no, we can't call it that, that's not what it was.
If Hillary Clinton needs for her to be successful, for it to be known that George H. W. Bush is gonna vote for her, she's gotta be in some big trouble.
That ought to be a non-event that ought to be in in the real world, Hillary Clinton would reject that.
If this were any other time, Hillary Clinton wouldn't want any part of the support of a Republican.
They would give the left too many fears and concerns about her.
I mean, they these these leftist freaks and extremists, oh my gosh, George Bush is supporting her.
See, we told you, we told you Bernie's the guy.
It would create a ton of problems for it in a normal cycle.
The fact that she needs it, or that Kathleen Kennedy Townsend thinks that she needs it.
We have the polling data from yesterday that we shared with you that Hillary is in deep doo-doo with Hispanic voters, is uh not being treated enthusiastically by African American voters.
In fact, how about this?
Where was it that Obama is it was that fundraiser?
It was that fundraiser, 65 people were Obama blame me and Fox News for Hillary's problems.
You note that that hasn't made a lot of news, by the way.
And the reason it hasn't made a lot of news is precisely because Obama said it to a bunch of donors.
65 people that paid a you know a lot of money to be there.
And let me briefly explain how these things work, because I went to one of these here in South Florida with George W. Bush.
If you heard the story yesterday, please indulge me.
So Bush is coming in for an appearance of four donors, and these things are events where Bush the the candidate thanks the donors, extends to them uh his appreciation, lets them inside.
I mean, these people are giving a lot of money.
And so they have to get something in return.
Uh not all of them are going to get what they want policy wise.
So the president, and I'm sure Obama did the same thing at his.
Bush came in and spent 45 minutes going around the world telling these donors the way of the land, who he was dealing with, what he was doing, and there were a couple of times when he was a drink and 45 minutes, not one stutter, not one pause, not one moment of appearing not knowing what he was going to say next.
It was totally unlike the George W. Bush that you all saw on television.
It was decisive, it was confident, and a couple of times during his remarks to the donors, he looked right at me.
He said, Don't you dare say any of this on the radio.
And I put my arms up and go, who me?
Yeah, you.
You don't say a word about this.
Because this is stuff this is for the donors.
He would these are things you don't say in a speech.
This is it's it's extending this insider status to the donors.
They're paying a lot of money, you gotta give them something back.
Well, that's what Obama was doing.
He had sixty-five people, and he's out there and he's telling these donors, they're all worried why Hillary Clinton appears to be in sewer.
They can't get her out of the sewer.
She's in big trouble.
They think she's at 70% should be at 70 percent.
She's barely, barely ahead of Trump in some polls, losing in others.
It's uh it looks like a dead heat right now, including the Electoral College, and they're panicking.
And these donors want to know from Obama what's going on.
So Obama tells them that the reason Hillary is looked at negatively by so many people is because of Fox News and me.
If people people, all they do is it watch Fox News and and listen to Roch Limbaugh, then they're gonna they're gonna have the uh disordered view of Now, why single us out?
Because we're the only two that he can't control.
He can't control Fox, he can't control what happens on this program.
That didn't make broad news.
You know, the the the news networks didn't spend a lot of time on it because it wasn't publicly stated.
And as as such, uh it was a it was a it was a fundraiser that took place in coordination with Hillary being in trouble.
Well, just like this points of light foundation thing at the home of George W. Bush last night.
Donors, when they leave these things, they don't talk.
It's it's this traditional thing that you respect.
The privacy, particularly in this case of the host, the uh the former president.
So I I think that Kathleen Kennedy Townsend running out there and posting this.
The fact that this is done because Hillary needs a boost tells us quite a lot about the Democrats' assessment, the Hillary campaign.
You know, she'd taken a day off today.
She had a rally, I guess she had 300 people show up somewhere.
Where was it?
North Carolina, 300 people showed up.
That's an exhausting rally for Hillary.
That's a lot of people.
That's about a hundred people ward and show up for a book signing.
So she taking the day off.
Anyway, I have to take a break.
Sit tight, my friends.
We'll be back with much more right after this.
No, you stop and think how much the Clintons and the Democrats hate well, not the Clintons.
Mainstream Democrats, how much they hate Bush.
Now, you might think it's George W. Bush they hate, and they do, but it's not just him.
The Democrat Party spent seven years destroying George W. Bush with the help of the media.
And the last four years of his term, this the second term, they destroyed Bush.
They destroyed the war on terror.
They just they did everything they could to destroy the success of the war in Iraq.
And now all of a sudden, here comes, supposedly, according to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, George H. W. Bush saying he's gonna vote for Hillary.
Uh in the normal flow of things, they would have problems with this, but they apparently don't.
It's looked at as a positive for Hillary.
And by the way, her rally was at Temple Temple University of Philadelphia, two hundred people, not three.
I was exaggerating.
She only had two hundred people show up.
And no, I didn't donate any money to to go to the George W. Bush fundraiser.
I'm a powerful, influential member of the media, and was invited to be there by the hosts of the event, or which are which are people who uh live part of the year here.
Well, I was invited with the knowledge of the of the presidential advance team and so forth.
And I was even in the reception line when the president arrived and the donors uh showed up.
But no, no, no, no.
I I didn't uh didn't have to donate any money.
Not not everybody that shows up.
I mean, he had some stragglers and so forth.
But no, no, no, no.
I uh if if I had donated, believe me, the drive by's would have told you, if I had given money to anybody, they would ferret out those records and they would be publishing every bit of information because I've done it a couple of times way, way back in the 90s, and it happened, and they found out and they made a big to do about it.
Anyway, we'll get to the audio sound by some of what Obama said at the Star Wars bar scene.
When we get back, don't go away.
Listen to this.
This is Harvey Levin, TMZ.
TMZ.
This is the Gen X and Millennial Generation's one of the top five networks.
It's a gossip network.
It finds scandal about public.
Oh, you know what?
I'm surprised there's any news at all today.
Have you heard?
Have you heard this?
Well, it's it's no big deal to me, but I I'm surprised that the networks haven't shut down.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Joe Lee.
It's not working.
It's Sayanara.
It's kaput.
It's it's just the end of everything a lot of people have believed in.
And you know what?
The supposed dispute is over.
As she has grown older, she is growing more serious.
This is just what they say.
I have no idea.
They have six kids.
And she wants to move to some.
Well, they already live.
They live in France and they live in place.
She wants to move somewhere remote, desolate, and raise these kids, and Pitt doesn't want to do that.
He wants to stay and hang around in Hollywood.
If you were Brad Pitt, where would you rather be?
But then, after all of that, a little bit of news trickled out that puts it all to perspective.
And apparently Pitt recently started a movie with a French hottie by the name of uh Marion Coty.
I don't know how to pronounce her name.
It's C-O-T-I-L-L-A-R-D.
And I botch French every time I try to pronounce it.
So it just looks like co-tillard.
I know it isn't.
Apparently he's been um he's been um what did Colin Powell say about Bill Clinton and the bimbos up in Chapel.
I can't say that.
Yeah, you can say that I can't I can't say it.
How do you Colin Powell?
I mean, in one leaked email thread, your entire image as Mr. Clean, Mr. Unopinated, is destroyed because of your description of the way Bill Clinton runs around with floozies.
Anyway, Brad Pitt was rumored to have had she hired a private eye.
Angelina Jolie had a private eye and found out that Brad Pitt was uh doing a nasty with with uh what's her face, Codelard.
And it's where we are.
And it is devastating a lot of people today.
And I that's why I I can't really believe that news is still happening, rather than this being a national day of sorrow and shock.
Uh because to so many people, I mean, that was what they aspire to, that kind of life, that kind of supposed relationship.
Just another lesson to all of you.
Nothing that you know nothing about, nothing is ever what you really think it is.
Particularly in this era, this day and age where everything is spin, everything is narrative, everything in the news is essentially the script of the Daily Soap Opera.
You're really much safer being suspicious of everything as reported.
Everything, whatever it is you think you know, doubt it until you can confirm it yourself.
Now, this leaves me, I was going with TMZ and Harley Harvey Levin, who uh is the founder, the head honcho, and the uh the uh the conscience, if you will, behind the TMZ network.
And he was, where was he?
He was uh TMZ Live uh the host, the co host Charles uh La Toubrier speaking with uh Harvey Levin about Jimmy Fallon, about the criticism that Fallon is receiving for his interview with Trump last week.
Apparently he was too nice.
He was too engaging, he was too accommodating.
He wasn't supposed to, like, can you believe I still can't believe I really can't believe this.
Folks, I can't believe the way they on the left everywhere are dumping on Matt Lauer.
You know, presidential forum.
He first goes out there with Hillary, and uh the the controversy is he was wearing an earpiece, and somebody in the booth was urging him to not let go of Hillary and her email question to keep hammering and hammering.
And Hillary got visibly upset.
And it was there was nothing unusual.
There was nothing wrong with his line of inquiry.
In fact, it's the kind of questions that Hillary should be getting every day.
So Matt Lauer asks them.
And to this day, you open the New York Post or the New York Daily News, and you'll read the latest story about how Lauer is in dire straits.
NBC's throwing him under the bus.
Everybody at NBC thinks it was a horrible job.
He may lose his career over this.
It's incredible.
And you couldn't get more protected than Matt Lauer before this.
You couldn't get more cemented in the approved relationships of the upper echelon of the ruling class in the establishment.
From New York to the Hamptons, he was it, and they've thrown him overboard.
It's in c the stories about even the NBC brass.
I'm sure Lauer is up there scratching his head saying, I just I just did what they have the NPC or piece and he was accused then of going easy on Trump.
Because you see, there isn't any media today.
There isn't any news.
The purpose of media today is to keep reporting and reporting until the viewpoint they want you to have, you have it.
It's about creating opinion.
It is about establishing and creating opinion.
It's it's it's not about bias so much, although you can't do that without bias.
It's not, it's not about lack of objectivity.
The media's purpose now is to make and create the opinions that they want people to have.
And Lauer did not facilitate that in either of the way he interviewed Hillary or they interviewed Trump, and he's still catching grief over it.
So now it's Jimmy Fallon's turn.
Because Jimmy Fallon was too engaging with Trump.
Jimmy Fallon was too nice.
He was too accommodating.
He didn't destroy Trump.
He didn't laugh at Trump.
He didn't make fun of Trump enough.
And so they're talking about that on TMZ Live last night.
And here's Harvey Levin's reaction to that.
An absurd criticism.
To me, it's like the media, it's so weird to me, is that there is an expectation now that the media is automatically supposed to be an attack dog, depending on what your political leanings are, whichever side you're on.
There's this expectation that if you don't attack, if you don't go for the jugular, you haven't done your job.
Nobody's reporting the news anymore.
Everybody's just attacking.
See that's the weird thing about this election is that I think the media has become more irrelevant this time around than they have in the history of television.
I really believe that.
Now, what he means by irrelevant, he doesn't mean that they're not effective.
He's talking about irrelevant and relevant within the context of what they used to do.
They used to be, even though they did all the opining, they did all the bias, and they still inform people.
There still was news.
I mean, you turn into ABC, CBS, NBC, you would learn something you didn't know that it happened that day.
That doesn't happen now.
That's not what the news is, and that's what he's commenting on.
The news is exactly, he's exactly, you gotta go for the jugular of the person you don't want to be elected in his case, Trump.
And if you don't do that, if you're in the drive-by's and you don't do that, your fellow drive-bys and establishment members are gonna are gonna savage you.
And it's starting to happen a little bit to Fallon.
It is still happening to poor old Matt Wauer, who I am sure is is in in PTSD shell shock over this.
These guys don't know what that kind of criticism.
We get it every day.
And have for 27 years, it's part of being conservative in life and in America, but they don't know how to deal with it.
They're totally unaccustomed to it.
Professional criticism, personal criticism.
And it is in the case of Matt Wauer, it's vicious even still.
And it's coming from the upper echelons of NBC.
His only defender is Andy Lack, who's the news division president, who is actually, they say the other guy on the side of the earpiece, but NBC's.
No, no, no, no, nobody was feeding Matt questions.
Yeah, they're leaving him out to dry.
He came up with that device of demanding Hillary come clean on the emails on his own.
But imagine his career in jeopardy because he dared pursue a line of inquiry in Hillary Clinton, that is verboten.
So Levin's right.
No news.
What he means by irrelevant.
I think maybe he's he's he may be saying that if they were as relevant as they used to be, they would have taken Trump out by now.
I mean, Trump is a target rich environment.
And if they had the power and the influence they used to have, they would have taken him out.
Now, maybe so, but there's another aspect of that.
Hillary Clinton is the alternative, and believe me, that's not an upper.
What let me find a story here.
Here it is.
It's a piece by Mark Tyson at the uh Washington Post, a column.
A recent, but it cites a poll.
The NBC, recent NBC Wall Street Journal News poll found that just 11% of Americans say that Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy.
Now to put that in perspective, 14% of American voters believe in Bigfoot.
So more people believe in Bigfoot than people believe Hillary is honest.
So you can say, yeah, they haven't succeeded in taking Trump out.
Well, the problem is they don't understand why Trump's where he is.
They don't understand why he's attractive, they're starting to, and they're getting worried about it.
The alternative is Hillary, and nobody likes her either, and she certainly has no modicum of respect.
And 11% thinks she's honest.
How does Hillary have the polling number she's got if that happens to be true?
Ponder that.
So we take an obscene profit break.
Okay, so you you see how Matt Wauer is being treated, and you see how they're starting not a dump on Jimmy Fallon.
You think the moderators for the upcoming presidential debates notice this?
You think they are sensing what happens to people who are honest and straightforward regarding Mrs. Clinton.
There is news, by the way, about her and her emails, and it just will not go away.
And it involves Reddit of all places.
A group of Redditors, Reddit is a it's a blog slash website for particularly focused people.
And a group of people that spend time on this place, the Redditors have convinced that they have found a smoking gun in the Clinton email saga.
And if true, it means they have done at Reddit, it's R-E-D-D-I-T, for those of you unfamiliar.
If if this is true, they've done a much greater investigation job than the FBI did.
What they believe they've discovered is posts from an IT specialist who was looking for advice on how to delete and remove content of very VIP emails.
Apparently, somebody working IT for Hillary went to Reddit and asked Redditors if any of them knew how to do this.
Do you know how to strip remove content from very VIP emails?
This request was made on July 24, 2014.
You know what happened?
I'm in July 24, 2014.
You know what happened the day before?
On July 23rd, 2014, a congressional committee chaired by Trey Gowdy confirmed A deal to get Hillary Clinton's records and emails.
And this is where the agreement was made that she would get all 60,000 of them, and she'll weed out the 30,000 only had to do with yoga and her daughter's wedding and wedding reception and where they were registered for gifts and all that.
And then she would keep those.
And then she'd give the other 30,000 to the State Department to go through.
After that is when somebody from her IT team, it is suspected, got hold of Reddit and said, Is there anybody here who can tell me how to mass, who in bulk delete and remove content of very VIP emails.
So the very day after the Gaudi Committee confirms it's going to get her records.
A Hillary ITE asks Reddit how to strip VIP email and address from archives, email addresses in the archives of what she's going to send.
And this is considered to be a smoking gun.
Guy Benson put these two dates together and tweeted it out.
He's the uh political editor at Town Hall dot com.
So this isn't going to go away.
This this email, everybody thinks we've seen the end of it.
Well, no, no.
A lot of people on the left think we've seen the end of it, but it just continues to be a drip drip drip drip drip.
And as you know, Hillary says, I've done everything, I've been as optimis as I can.
I have not held back.
I have.
And then she faints, or ceases up, and they revive her, and she continues the denial.
And after every denial, a new bit of information drops that contradicts what she has most recently said about this.
So it's it's continuing to be problematic, and the people don't doubt me on this.
You don't know who these people are.
They're the people behind the closed doors, the cloakrooms, deep dark corridors of power.
The Democrat National Committee of Democrat Party, and maybe Stephen elected officials that are public, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer.
They are really, really worried.
This is this is not at all how this was supposed to have shaken out.
Here's Jim in San Antonio.
I'm gonna grab a phone call as I always try to do in the first hour.
Jim and San Antonio, I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you with us.
What's up?
Rush, it's a pleasure to speak to you first off.
Thank you.
Um my thought is, you know, I've been listening to you for an awfully long time, and I hear people talk about, you know, if the Democrats win, we're gonna have to wait four years before we can do anything.
My premise is that with Supreme Court nominees, with legalizing the illegals, with opening the borders and all that.
My premise is that I do not think the conservatives can win another national election for the foreseeable future.
We've got Trump.
Trump is saying that this may be the last election the Republican Party can win.
Uh I know what he means.
I know what he means by who are these people that are saying we got four years.
If if we lose, we get four years to put it all back to who give me a name.
Can you give me the type of people saying that?
Well, I mean, I listen I listen, I listen to you, I listen to Beck, I listen to Hannity, but the I mean, some of the the no Trumpers right now, some of the some our leaders in the GOP party and all that, you know, your McCain's, your uh all those people and everything.
But you know, and I think this will spill over even to some of the na uh statewide elections.
You know, midterm elections, we're gonna have a chance, but I just do not think we're gonna have a chance with the electoral electoral vote situation and everything.
I I I think it looks pretty bleak.
Oh, I think you're right.
I I don't this this there is no for the people that are saying, hey, you know, if we lose, we're gonna really be setting ourselves up for a massive win in four years, because after four more years of this, it's gonna be so bad.
And I they're they're missing the vote entirely.
This is it.
Uh in in a lot of ways.
Not that there's not gonna be an American, there's always going to be an America.
It's just what kind of America it's gonna be, and who is going to be leading it, and what kind of character and morality and value system is going to be dominant.
And that's what's what's at stake.
And and some of the never Trumpers don't think there's any such crisis at all like that.
This is a good transition for me to lead the next hour with excerpts from Victor Davis Hanson's piece that I talked about earlier at National Review.
It'll dovetail exactly what you're talking about.
We'll get to it right after this.
Never never trump.
Victor Davis Hansen, National Review online today.
This this could be the one, I mean the definitive piece calling out and questioning the thinking of never Trumpers on the right.
Can't by any stretch read it all.
