Time Text
I honestly had no idea that when I began this program today that climate change and global warming was going to be as front and center as it is.
But we go with the flow here.
It's not going to distract me from other things.
But it's all related, folks.
It's all the same thing.
It's all what we're trying to defeat.
And that is liberalism.
In the first place, I just didn't have a chance to run this by you with any detail.
The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a 50-state climate warning.
Floods, drought, insect outbreaks.
What in the name of Sam Hill is this?
A 50-state climate warning that happens to be the whole country?
Have you ever heard of a climate warning?
What do you think you're going to have to do here?
You're going to have, no, you're going to, it's not stay inside.
You're going to have to comply.
You're going to have to change the way you live.
Who's going to get blamed for this?
Well, whoever the Democrat Party's political enemies are is who's going to get blamed for this.
You know, our first caller today, the farmer from Minnesota, was making an important point.
She was talking essentially about what's happening here under the guise, under the agency, if you will, of climate change.
The federal government, to save the day, is buying up more and more privately held land.
And they're using it for the solar industry, which is a money loser and it's irrelevant, and the wind industry, solar and wind.
Under the guise of clean, renewable energy, we're not there yet.
There's nothing anywhere near being able to replace oil.
There's not wind or solar that can power an airplane.
There's no wind or soil that can power anything we need to build a highway, build a house, build what?
This is so ridiculous that it's embarrassing to me to have to point this stuff out.
But the solar business, the wind industry are both totally propped up with federal and state tax dollars in the form of subsidies because they can't make it on their own.
There's no way they can turn a profit because there's no business there.
And to do this, the federal government is buying farmland like crazy, which was our caller's point, especially for solar.
Solar is, look at it as a crop.
The federal government's going to start planting solar panels all over the place, which are toxic.
They kill the soil and the windmills kill the eagles, as she was talking about.
And all of this is going to lead to higher prices for food because there's going to be less land usable to grow crops.
But all of this is being done to pay back big donors to the Democratic Party.
It's just silly.
It's like, if I may repeat my point about the consensus of scientists, this hurricane, we've got this Hurricane Matthew just trucking up its track here, but they still don't know where it's actually going to hit.
There isn't a consensus of scientists that can tell us 12 hours out where this hurricane is going to make landfall.
But they want to tell us that a consensus of scientists can tell us what the global temperature is going to be and the sea levels are going to be in 50 years when most of us are dead and won't be around to know whether they lied to us or not.
And then they tell us we're responsible for it.
It's our fault by virtue of the way we live.
Can I give an example of that?
Let's say that you're on a cruise ship and you get mad at something and you go to the edge of the spit in the ocean and the global warming.
See, you are affecting the ocean.
You just spit in it.
That means it's anthropological.
What's happened to the oceans is anthropological because you spit in it.
They take one little incident like that, saying you are responsible.
You spit in the ocean.
The water volume in the ocean thus contains human effect and makes whatever happens to the ocean our fault.
It's idiotic.
The whole thing's idiotic, but they have been so successful in dumbing down basic critical thinking in the public school systems that people just scarf it up, particularly young people.
Does it shock you like it shocks me when you learn that there are some 25 and 30 year olds who really have been made to believe that the planet will not be habitable when they're 65, another 30 to 40 years?
Where is the planet uninhabitable now other than where it's always been, the North Pole, South Pole?
And even that, we can live there because we learned to adapt.
Anybody wants to, they can.
You might run into a bunch of ICE looking for evidence of global warming on your way down there, but you can still live there.
You can live in the Sahara Desert if you want to.
The whole story of humanity is adapting.
But we are being treated to humanity as just a bunch of walking neophytes incapable of doing anything.
And if you are a rugged individualist or if you're self-reliant, they are going to come for you as somebody that can't be trusted, somebody that doesn't care.
I just got a note here that this, now, this is funny.
I've got a guy out there who said that he can hear IFB comments.
He just heard somebody say, stay inside.
Did anybody in there just say stay inside?
Well, what?
Oh, the broadcast engineer.
Oh, that's right.
So, Mamon, be careful.
Everything you say is going out over the air.
This is why normally when we're in Florida, we do not grant the support staff their own microphones.
Why can't we hear these people you're talking to?
Because it's the stream, not the actual radio show.
That would make sense.
Okay.
We'll leave it up in.
It's going to be interesting.
It's a change for people streaming the program.
Let them wonder what it is.
As I said, ladies, I did not think that climate change is going to be such an issue.
But here, look at this.
We've already, if you missed the first hour, we've already heard where an NBC reporter actually characterized the latest UN climate deal as designed to stop hurricanes like Matthew.
Piece of paper in the United Nations.
Okay.
From the Daily Caller, President Obama said that global warming contributed to the Syrian civil war, shifting some of the blame for the deadly conflict from the Assad regime to people driving SUVs.
Well, that's what they claim is causing the greenhouse effect, all the CO2 emissions.
Obama said, this is the South-by-South law they've been at the White House.
It was on Monday.
There's already been some interesting work, not defended, but powerful, showing that the drought that happened in Syria contributed to the unrest in the Syrian Civil War.
There you have it.
So, Syrian Civil War is not because there's an evil dictator that does mean things that no, no, no, no, it's because of climate change.
It's incomprehensibly idiotic.
And yet, did you see, how many of you people watch the TV show, Madam Secretary?
Madam Secretary airs on Sunday nights, 8 o'clock, something like that.
And really, the show began.
It's like in its fifth year, fourth year, third year, whatever it is.
Its design was to get Hillary Clinton elected president.
Madam Secretary, she was Secretary of State when the show started.
Tay Leone is the star, and it's designed to get everybody comfortable with a female Secretary of State becoming advisor to the president.
It's filled with left-wing politics.
And the opening of, I was talking about this, how the left has polluted all of these once really fine TV shows to the point you don't want to watch them anymore.
And the first episode of Madam Secretary was exactly about that.
Pushing the global warming agenda through the State Department, advising a Republican president that the greatest threat the nation faced was climate change.
And even though he didn't believe he's got to do something, he's got to come to terms with this about saving dams.
It's pervasive.
It's everywhere.
And I think one of the explanations for Trump is that anybody in Washington, in the establishment, these insiders, they all fall for this stuff.
And they all put Republicans, Democrats, they all push this stuff because it ultimately makes government bigger.
It ultimately makes government more powerful.
It ultimately turns people to government for solutions rather than relying on themselves.
It turns people into robots.
It turns them into mind-numbed robots with the government having all the answers, all the solutions.
Government makes most of the messes that we have, and then people turn to the government to fix it.
Let's see.
It is an interesting story that's juxtaposed with Obama and the climate change war in Syria.
And when I saw this today, I kind of did a double take because I was shocked.
It's an AP story.
They have something called the big story, which is supposed to be a more important story than anything else they do during the day.
This is the AP big story.
Now, everything AP does, you're supposed to pay attention, but this, you are really supposed to pay attention to this.
And the headline to this one is: once lauded as a peacemaker, comma, Obama's tenure fraught with war.
You remember in 2009, this would be Obama's first term.
Remember when he got the Nobel Peace Prize?
And he hadn't done anything.
And we all laughed about it and said, well, we know what these next four eight years are going to be.
I mean, this was totally on the come.
Obama hadn't done diddly squat, but he was a blank canvas, and you could make him be whatever you wanted to be if you were hated Bush and hated the Iraq war and thought the country was in the wrong track.
So here comes his savior, Barack Obama, and the world bought into it.
Nobel Peace Prize.
Now they're thinking of taking it back because there are more wars going on with more American involvement than even during the evil George W. Bush.
And the AP story of all stories points this out.
Seven years ago this week, when a young American president learned he'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize barely nine months into his term, a somewhat embarrassed Obama asked his aides to write an acceptance speech that addressed the awkwardness of that.
I don't think that he was embarrassed at all.
Obama's not the kind of guy gets embarrassed with accolades.
He expects them.
This is the exact kind of thing that he thinks that he should be getting every week.
Plaudits, credit for greatness and supremacy and superiority.
You read further, he is the erstwhile anti-war candidate now engaged in more theaters of war than his predecessor.
Who lauded Obama as a peacemaker?
He was, remember?
He was a peacemaker.
He was going to unify us.
We're going to be post-racial, post-political, going to be post-partisan.
The world was going to love us again.
And now Obama drones you to death if he doesn't like you.
In fact, Hillary wanted to drone Julian Assange.
So Julian Assange, we canceled his personal appearance because the drone was going to get him.
Hillary says, I don't recall wanting to drown Julian Assange, right?
Well, you didn't recall before the grand jury either.
But the people that lauded Obama as a peacemaker, the same people who predicted Obama would bring racial harmony, same people predicted Obama would cut the deficit in half, same people who said that Obama's ransom to Iran wasn't a ransom.
Same people who said the Affordable Care Act would be affordable.
And even Chelsea Clinton, oh, did you hear this?
Chelsea Clinton did a personal appearance the other day.
Let me find the headline because I have a take on this.
This is, here it is.
Luck shines on me.
I go.
125 people turn out for Chelsea Clinton in Iowa.
That's about as many as show up to hear her mother.
But I think the headline is wrong.
The headline actually says only 125 people.
It's a Bright Mart story.
Only 125 people turn up for Chelsea Clinton.
I think the headline should be: drop the only.
Just put 125 people, because who would believe the 125 people would show up to hear Chelsea Clinton?
I'd be surprised if she could draw a crowd more than 50.
Anyway, while she had these people in the palm of her hands, she started critiquing the Obama Health Care Act, the affordable health care act.
She said, yeah, we have a problem with the affordable part.
And her dad, Bill Clinton, is running around savaging the hell.
I think it's the craziest thing I have ever seen.
I have no idea what they were thinking when they put this thing there.
So why are all these Democrats now running down Obamacare?
Don't get the wrong idea, folks.
It's not because they genuinely see something wrong with it.
Because if you listen carefully as I do, when they talk about what we need to do to fix it, it's not get rid of it and turn it back to the private sector.
No, no, we need to go single payer.
That was the mistake.
We didn't put the government in charge of all of it.
That's what we need to do.
The government needs to be the insurer, the only insurer.
The government needs to take over, get rid of the insurance companies, get rid of the private sector insurance market, let the government take it over.
Full-fledged Canada, can you see single-payer is what they're advocating, which is what it was intended to be from the, it was designed to fail.
It was designed to do exactly what it's doing.
It was designed to be unaffordable.
It was designed to have people unable to buy it and create a crisis and have people, you've got to fix it.
You've got to fix it.
I don't have any health insurance.
All right.
I tell you, how about if you just had to go to government again?
Would that be it?
It'd be great if I could do that, but don't make me go to a website.
We'll handle that for you, too.
So the government does it all.
So it's right on schedule, designed to fail.
It was built in.
The high costs were built in, running the insurance industry out of the business, built into it.
So now here, the Clintons, what they think is on the cusp of Hillary becoming the next POTUS, setting the stage for single-payer health care.
And I must take another brief time out.
We'll take that.
Our obscene profit break.
I call them more phone calls coming up.
We get back.
Don't go away.
It's Rushlin Board, Los Angeles, behind the golden EIB microphone to Omaha.
This is, well, your name is grayed out.
I can't see your name.
But welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It's Mo in Omaha, Nebraska.
How are you?
Fine.
What did you say your name is?
Mo.
Short to Morris.
M.O. Okay, great.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Yeah, I'm glad to be here.
I'll get right to the point.
It's kind of off-subject from global warming, but I want to talk about this whole thing.
We've just spent the last five days or whatever complaining about Trump and his failure to pay taxes.
Five years ago, remember the close personal friend of Obama, Warren Buffett, said guys like me should pay more taxes.
Remember that?
Yeah, I do.
And yet, five years later, he hasn't paid voluntarily any more taxes.
He's not a villain, you know.
And another point I want to make about that, if you're one of his investors, many of whom are worth tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, can you imagine having him advocating for you paying more taxes?
I just can't even believe I was hearing that.
So, anyways, you know, I would call this hypocrisy in the media, but I don't because they're not media, and these are just tactics.
They're doing exactly what they want to do.
There's no point trying to make them convince them that they're hypocrites, you know, they're hypocrites because that's not what they are.
They're just, these are tactics in an ideal activity.
Exactly.
And that, by the way, that is why the hypocrisy angle on the left doesn't work.
I mean, I've got, I mean, I can't recall anything off the top of my head.
I've got two or three examples of Democrat liberal hypocrisy just today.
I'll find them.
And I look at them and I say, you know, it's going to be effective.
Oh, I know what one of them is.
You know, I've got a story here that back in 2005, I've got a whole story on how Tim Kaine was so opposed to illegal immigration.
He was more opposed to it than anybody alive today.
Tim Kaine, the current vice presidential nominee.
Okay, so I've told you, is it going to change the way if you are a person that's destined to vote for Hillary for whatever reason?
And I convince you, I tell you, you know, this Kane guy, her vice president, you realize back in the day, he was a huge, before he became a person with a national agenda, before he had national aspirations.
He was agreeing with all of us on illegal immigration.
It was a violation of law.
We had to stop it.
Oh, really?
Well, okay.
What does he think now?
Well, I don't know what he really thinks, but what he says is he's all for it.
The whole charge of hypocrisy doesn't work on them because they are allowed to get away with it.
They are said to have grown in office or what have you.
It's like both Al Gore and Bill Clinton, when they were senators and governor, were among the biggest pro-lifers because that's what it took to get elected.
Senator Kentucky, from Tennessee, Governor Arkansas, you had to be pro-life.
They both were, proudly and big time.
The minute they both had national aspirations, they had to go pro-choice.
And not so much for the people, but to get the money from the feminists and the now gang, the nags and so forth.
Same thing with Kane.
So those stories are all over the place about the hypocrisy.
But I've never found it to be effective as a tool in persuading people to not vote for him or to not support him.
It just doesn't work.
Hypocrisy always ends up nailing Republicans on this tax business.
It's the same thing with Trump's taxes.
You can explain Trump's tax return and everything about it perfectly clearly, totally honestly.
People aren't going to hear it.
They're going to hear, he didn't pay taxes for 20 years.
That's right, my friends.
A man, a legend, a way of life.
Sticking with the phones.
Kevin in St. Louis.
Great to have you, sir.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to our program.
Ditto's Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
I don't think people really care about Donald Trump's taxes.
It's just that tactic that they use, but it doesn't work anymore.
I don't remember.
You remember when you were being audited, I think, in New York, and they said all that stuff about you, and nobody cares about it.
Wait, hold on a minute.
When I was being audited, nobody cared.
Why would anybody care?
Well, you know, they try to say that you were something about you were taking like $10,000 out a day or something.
I don't know.
I can't remember, but they tried to use it to make you look bad, but it didn't work.
Well, I must have missed that.
I'm aware of every effort they make to make me look bad, but I didn't know anyway.
But I mean, my point is the taxes, it doesn't work.
Nobody really wants to work.
What is your evidence that it doesn't work?
Because they use it all the time, but I mean, people are still, I mean, he's up in the polls.
I think people are caught on to it.
They don't care about that stuff.
So you don't think that story has hurt Trump?
No, I don't think it does hurt it.
Well, you know, the polls are all over the place.
It's like these computer models.
For example, the Bible is the real clear politics average of polls.
That's what all of the establishment types aim you at.
Because that's not just one poll.
That's an average of all of the major polls, and it's the trend that you look at, not the day-to-day result.
But yet I've got some polls here that are not included in it.
For example, there's recent Reuters and Ipsos polling.
It's not in the state real clear politics averages.
You've got the states, individual, and then the average them out, then the national.
In Colorado, Trump up 45, 43.
Nobody's talking about it.
Arizona, Trump 46, Clinton 44.
Nobody's talking about it.
Georgia, Trump 51, Clinton 38.
These are not in the RCP averages.
In Iowa, Trump 49, Clinton 42.
All we're hearing is that Trump's biting the bullet wherever he's supposedly biting the bullet and his debate performance just was a death blow.
And the taxes, I mean, they're trying to make the case that the fact that Trump hasn't paid taxes of whatever it is 20 years, and nobody knows that, by the way.
They're just extrapolating from three pages of a tax return that had multiple hundreds of pages in it.
But it works.
I've always thought that it works.
I've always thought because taxes are one of these things that would you be surprised if I told you, I'm pretty sure, I can't say for certain, but I think Warren Buffett is still arguing over a tax bill he's got of $1 billion.
Now, nobody gets mad at Warren Buffett for owing taxes.
They love Warren Buffett because Warren Buffett's out there saying guys like him are not paying enough taxes.
And that's how you keep the wolves from baying at your door.
If you're a rich guy, the best thing you can do is demand tax increases on the rich.
That way, the poor will leave you alone.
The middle class and media will leave you alone.
But he owes a billion dollars in back taxes.
I mean, these things do seem to work on Republicans.
They do seem to, with certain Democrat voters anyway.
And it all boils down to the fairness issue and the equality issue.
And I hope you're right.
I hope it doesn't have that kind of all of this stuff, by the way, folks, to me, when you look, our first caller from Minnesota today about the impact on privately held farmland and all of subsidizing wind and solar.
It's not just Democrats that are bought off this way.
Republican politicians are contributed to heavily by climate change, global warming, environmentalist wackos.
And that's how they're brought on board with this.
And that's why an outsider like Trump is so appealing to so many people.
Because it's just, after so many years now, it's just suspected by most people that there simply is no way to change the direction Washington's going or the country's going or to do anything about that small group of establishment elitists in both parties ended up running things for themselves to ensure the bank bailouts were for themselves and the corporate bailouts were for themselves and so forth.
There hasn't been a real wage increase for average Americans 15 years.
And the same people are now demanding that the flood of illegal immigrants continue.
So people feel the deck is being totally stacked against them.
And the Democrats have various things in their playbook to go after opponents.
Taxes is one of them.
Now, I don't think it's going to take an ardent Trump supporter.
I don't think it's going to make an ardent Trump supporter abandon Trump.
But Trump's going to need more than just his ardent supporters if he's going to win.
And so you don't know how to judge this stuff.
His rallies are still overflowing with people, and the excitement is beyond being able to measure.
The overflow crowds outside satellite offices or satellite locations where they have TV screens for people to see the Trump rallies.
There's Hillary out drawing 500 if she shows up somewhere.
So it's hard to get a handle on it.
Then you have the debate like we had with Hillary and Trump, where he, in the first 30 minutes of that debate, owned it.
It was his debate totally.
And if for some reason, energy level dropped, and whatever Trump does to me, Trump stopped.
And the consensus was that Trump fumbled the ball and Hillary won the debate and so forth on traditional debating points.
But even that didn't cause Trump supporters to abandon him.
They just get a little bit worried.
So I hope you're right that this tax business is not a harmful thing.
My experience has been that it is, that it always works.
Look at Harry Reid on Mitt Romney.
If you want evidence of how it works, here's Harry Reid, senator in Nevada, and he calls a press conference and says he has a friend, told him that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years.
So the media says, well, who's your friend?
Who can we call to ask?
How do you know?
And Harry Reid says, no, no, no, you need to go ask Trump or Romney why he hasn't paid his taxes in 10 years.
And that's what they did.
They went out and said, why haven't you paid taxes in 10 years instead of demanding proof?
And then after the election was over, Harry Reid said, you know, I didn't have any proof, but I don't care.
We won.
But it worked because people, and here's a rich guy, Mitt Romney, one of the finest people you've ever run into, was made out to be a tax cheat, a guy who hated animals and didn't respect his employees with just three ads and so forth.
Let's see.
Who's next?
This is Bill in Southampton and South.
A call from the Hamptons here.
This is cool.
Bill, how are you?
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Rush, my take on both debates was that we were on the defensive and we didn't take it to them.
And so, like, I would like your, what would you advise Trump in the next debate to go on the offensive and A, if you think I'm right, or if even if you could pretend that what I'm thinking is right, it just seemed like we were on our heels rather than taking it to him.
This is interesting.
Do you even think that about Pence?
I do.
I do.
I mean, because, you know, it was all about, well, what did Trump, you know, how could you justify what Trump said?
Like, you just indicated, we don't care.
I mean, he's filling stadiums.
Tens of millions of people support him.
So, you know, what's the problem here?
How come Kane didn't get the memo that the American people want change?
You mean Pence?
No, I'm saying.
Oh, you mean Pence should say that?
Pence should have said that.
Okay.
That's the point.
Okay, so even if I don't agree, he wants me to pretend I agree and then suggest what to do.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Well, now, hang on here.
Because the premise is a good premise.
You can never advance the ball on defense.
You're absolutely right about that.
And particularly if you go into the prevent defense, where you're going to let them gain a bunch of ground, but you're not going to let them score.
The prevent defense prevents victory.
And being put on the defense, it seems to work every time they try it.
And all it takes is Hillary with these constant allegations about Trump and why he didn't pay his taxes and what it could possibly mean, or some of the other quotes about what he said about Mexicans and others.
And then here's Kane repeating the same thing to Pence.
And you're mad that Pence didn't fire back.
Okay, let's let for a moment here.
Let's assume you're right that Pence was on defensive, on defense, but how would you think he should deal?
What should he do to get off of the defensive position or posture there in the midst of Kaine's attacks?
Dismiss it.
Say, look at Trump's.
The message is resonating with tens of millions of Americans.
I don't want to hear about any of this.
This is old school politics.
We're beyond that, just as your previous call has said.
We're beyond all of that junk.
And let's talk about the issues, but I tell you, there's something going on in America.
People are responding to Trump.
He won the Republican nomination.
Let's get off of this accusations and name-calling, blah, blah, blah.
Right.
Yep, undeniable.
Well, okay, let's then go back to Trump.
So Trump is up there, and Hillary is going through these imaginary reasons why he didn't pay his taxes.
She actually, I thought, threw him two or three hanging curveballs that he didn't even take a swing at.
Amen.
The foundation, Benghazi, her incompetence as Secretary of State.
Her deplorables comment.
Deplorables comment selling access to foreign governments and individuals in advance of her becoming president.
He didn't go there.
I don't know why.
I don't know if it slipped his mind.
I don't know if he'd made a strategic decision.
You know, some people are saying now that he did this on purpose because he's going to come Sunday night.
He's going to unload like you haven't seen.
And he was just setting everybody up by going docile the last half of the debate on Sunday.
I don't know about that.
But look, there's a point that you're, I agree with you to a point that you never do any good being put on the defensive and staying there.
And for some reason, our side seems to be afraid to go on offense because they've been so savaged.
If you dare go out and criticize Hillary Clinton, they'll call you attacking the girl.
You've been unfairly attacking the girl or unfairly attacking her husband, and it becomes a whole different media narrative.
You become a reprobate for a whole different reason.
And it seems to have worked into silencing a number of Republicans into not criticizing, even extending to not defending themselves.
But I'm a big believer in going on offense, and I think Hillary Clinton is the ideal target on whom to go on offense.
I think she is vulnerable.
She is not liked.
She's not overwhelmingly popular.
She is not the most qualified woman ever to seek the office.
What an absurd claim.
She's not the smartest woman in the world.
And there's evidence to back up all these claims.
But more than that, you know, when Kaine's going through his litany of things that Trump said and Pence is not defending, it seems to me that the simplest, best way to go after Kaine or Hillary is just to say, why are you even running if things are so good now?
Why are you talking about all this change?
We're in a mess in this country because of what you think.
We're in a mess because of your party.
We're in a mess, Mrs. Clinton, because you've been there.
You are responsible for this economy.
You're responsible for foreign policy.
You're responsible for the massive illegal immigration.
You believe in it.
I think it would be so easy to turn the tables because nobody in America is happy right now.
Everybody thinks the country's headed in the wrong direction.
There's a reason for it.
We are where we are because of policies implemented by Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.
How hard is it to say that?
But apparently it is.
I think I like the term sitting ducks.
I think they're really vulnerable on the status quo and the fact that they are the architects of it.
Just the story today.
We're in more wars right now than George Bush ever dreamed of having us in.
Anyway, look, I appreciate the call, Bill.
I got to take a brief time out a little long here in this segment.
We will continue in mere moments before you know it.
Well, no sooner than I say I think the tax business works than I have been informed.
Wait just a second.
Apparently, Frank Luntz and one of his recent focus groups, that was CBS this morning, that's the latest Frank Luntz focus group.
And he said that most of the focus group people that he convened sided with Donald Trump, that nobody wants to pay taxes.
Luntz told CBS this morning they are more upset over Hillary Clinton's emails than they are about Trump's tax returns.
Trump said, Luntz said that the people in his focus group said nobody wants to pay taxes.
As long as you don't break the law, as long as you didn't do anything unethical, taxpayers are fed up with the tax code.
They actually don't hold him responsible for that.
Okay, so that's a lunch focus group.
Take it for what you will.
Let me tell you what really irritates me on this tax business is the way the Clintons are responsible for this because they changed the vernacular.
Tax increases, tax payments have become contributions, have become investments.
And therefore, if you don't contribute, you're a sleazebag.
And if you don't help with the investments into what?
Child care, making America whatever, then you're a sleazebag.
And now Hillary is out there trying to capitalize on this three-page tax return that leaked illegally in the New York Times.
She's saying that Donald Trump is depriving the country of money to pay for the military, to pay for the roads, and to pay for schools.
Now, I don't know about you, but that offends the hell out of me.
This government is $20 trillion in debt.
If the roads are in trouble, if bridges are in trouble, and if schools are in trouble, it's because somebody in Washington wanted to pay for something else.
$20 trillion in debt.
You telling me $20 trillion in debt, and we couldn't have rebuilt a bridge or a road, and somehow now it's Trump's fault because he lost some money in a business back in 1995.
But that's what they want to convey.
I'm glad the Lunch Focus Group says what it says.
I don't know how widespread it is, but there's also – I've got to take a break.
I can't float this one.
Back in just a second, folks.
No, go away.
So now I learned the NFL is genuinely shocked over their plummeting ratings.
And we've also got the former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, saying she's had it.
She's fed up.
She's done giving interviews.
What happens?
You get in bed with the Clintons and you end up regretting it and you want to hide somewhere.
Details will be coming up in.
Yeah, you know, I do have a look because, well, I'm not going to offer any excuses.
Excuses are for losers, and I'm not a loser.
But we're looking at the clock at an angle here, and I thought, but there's still not enough time to delve deeply.
But here's the Alicia Machado story.
And it's from the UK Daily Mail.
She says that she's done giving interviews about fat shaming after her life story has unraveled.
Yeah, she got in bed with the Clintons.
The Clintons used her, and nobody's got a clean and pure as the wind-driven snow past.
And so hers has been dredged up.
She's not going to give any more interviews on the way Trump treated her.
And she's had it.
And this is after Hillary Clinton spotlighted her, not Donald Trump.
