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.
Don't miss it.
But it's all related, folks.
It's all the same thing.
It's all what we're trying to defeat.
Yeah, 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 gonna have no, you're gonna it's not stay inside.
You're gonna have to comply.
You're gonna have to change the way you live.
Who's gonna get blamed for this?
Well, whoever the Democrat Party's political enemies are is who's gonna get blamed for this.
You know, our our our first caller today, the uh the farmer from Minnesota was making an important point.
She was talking essentially, but what's happening here under the guise, under the ages, 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 s 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 it's 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 gonna 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 Democrat Party.
It's just silly.
It's it's like, if I may repeat my point about the consensus of scientists, this hurricane.
We got this Hurricane Matthew just trucking up its track here, but they still don't know where it's actually gonna 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 gonna 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 uh the edge of the you spit in the ocean and the global warm.
See, you are affecting the oceans.
You just spit in it.
That means it's anthropological.
What's happening in 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.
I don't does it 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, in North Pole, South Pole, and even that we can live there because we learned to adapt.
Anyone 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.
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 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 uh 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 the broadcast engineer.
Oh, that's right.
Mr. 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.
Well, leave it up, and 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 and I did not think that climate change is going to be such an issue.
But here, look at this.
We've already, we've, if you missed the first hour, we've already heard where an NBC reporter actually characterized the latest U.N. 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 this is the South by South law and event at the White House.
It was on Monday.
There's already been some interesting work, not defended, but powerful, showing that the happenings are 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 of 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 uh the TV show, Madam Secretary?
Madam Secretary airs on Sunday nights, 8 o'clock, something like that.
And it 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.
Ta 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, about say it just 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 uh war in Syria.
And I 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 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, 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 be if you were hated Bush and hated the Iraq War and thought the country was in the wrong tracks.
There 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 the 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 the.
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, we're going to be post-political, we're 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 wouldn't cancel his personal appearance again.
The drone was going to get him.
Hillary says, I don't recall wanting to drone 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 had a 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.
That's what it's a Bright Bart 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 hounds' 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's running around savaging the healthcare.
This thing is the craziest thing I have ever seen.
I have no idea what they were thinking when they put this thing together.
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 gotta 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'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 an ex 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 when we get back.
Don't go away.
It's Rushlin Born, 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 Tomorrow.
M.O. Okay, great.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Yeah, I'm glad to be here.
Um, I'll get right to the point.
It's kind of off subject from global warming, but um, I want to talk about this whole we've just spent the last five days or whatever complaining about uh 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, do.
And yet, five years later, he hasn't paid voluntarily any more taxes.
Um he's not a villain.
You know, and uh 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 I just can't even believe I was hearing that.
So, anyways, uh, you know, I 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 hypocrite, you know, they're hypocrites, because that's not what they are.
They're just these are tactics and an idea of the city.
Exactly.
And that, by the way, that is 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 of Democrat liberal hypocrisy just today.
I'll find them.
And I look at them and I and I say, you know, it's gonna 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 Kane was so opposed to illegal immigration, he was more opposed to it than anybody alive today.
Tim Kane, the current vice presidential nominee.
Okay, so I've told you, is it gonna change the way if if you're 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 cane guy, her vice.
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 the illegal immigration.
It was 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 is at work on him 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 from Tucky from uh 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 uh from the feminists and the you know the now gang, the nags and so forth.
Same thing with Keynes.
So those stories are all over the place about the hypocrisy.
But it 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 uh Republicans.
On this tax bill, it says 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 you didn't pay taxes for 20 years.
That's right, my friends.
A man, a legend away of life.
Sticking with the phones.
Kevin in St. Louis, great to have you, sir.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to our program.
Diddles Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Um I don't think people really care about Donald Trump's taxes.
You know, it's it's just that tactic that they're used to, you know, but it doesn't work anymore.
You know, I I don't remember I few remember when you were being audited, I think, in New York, and they said all that stuff about you, and you know, nobody cares about it.
Wait, wait, hold on a minute.
You said when I was being audited, nobody cared.
Why would anybody care?
Well, you know, they try to say that you were um I something about you were taking like $10,000 out of a day or something.
I don't know, I can't remember, but they tried to use it to make to make you look bad, but it didn't work.
Well, I must have missed that.
I usually I'm aware of every effort they make to look make me look bad, but I didn't know anybody coming up.
But I mean, my point is the taxes, it doesn't work.
You know, nobody really evidence that it that it doesn't work.
I mean, I I the thing about because they use it all the time, but I mean, people are still I mean, he's up in the polls, you know.
I I just I I think people have are caught are you know caught on to it.
They don't 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 ought to the the polls are all over the place.
I it's it's like these computer models.
For example, the Bible is the real clear politics average of polls.
That's what 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, and there's recent Reuters and Ipsos polling.
It's not in the state real clear politics averages.
You've got the state's individual and then they average them out than the national.
In Colorado, Trump up 4543, 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, you know, biting the bullet wherever he's supposedly biting the bullet in his debate performance just was a death blow.
And uh and the taxes, I mean, they're they're trying to make the case that the fact that Trump hasn't paid taxes or 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.
So, but it works.
I've always thought that it works.
I've always thought because taxes are one of these things that would would you be surprised if I told you, I'm pretty sure I'm I can't say for certain, but I think Warren Buffett is still arguing over a uh a tax bill he's got of one billion dollars.
Now nobody gets mad at Warren Buffett for owning 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 of the 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 uh with 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 I hope it doesn't uh 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 the for subsidizing wind and solar.
And it's not just Democrats that are bought off this way.
Republican politicians are contributed too 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 like the bank bailouts were for themselves, and the corporate bailouts were for themselves and so forth.
But there hasn't been a real wage increase for average Americans 15 years.
And the same people are now demanding that a 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.
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 it's hard to get a handle on it.
And then you have the debate like we had with Hillary and Trump, where he, in the in the first 30 minutes of that debate, owned it.
It was his debate totally.
And if for some reason uh 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 they even that didn't cause Trump supporters to abandon him, it just got a little bit worried.
Um I hope you're right that this tax business is not a harmful thing.
My experience has been that it is, that it that it always works.
Look at look at Harry Reid and Mitt Romney, if you want evidence of how it works.
Here's Harry Reid, Senator Nevada, and he calls a press conference as he has a friend, told him that Mitt Romney hadn'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 uh uh Romney why he hasn't paid his taxes in ten 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 in-here's a rich guy, Mitt Romney, one of the finest people you'd ever run into, was made out to be a tax cheat.
A guy hated animals and didn't respect his employees, with just three ads and so forth.
Uh Let's see, who's next?
This is Bill in the Southampton.
South 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 can pretend that what I'm thinking is right, it just seemed like we were on our heels rather than taking it to him.
And this is interesting.
Do you even think that about Pence?
I do.
I do.
I really 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.
We don't I mean, he he's filling stadiums.
Tens of millions of people support him.
So, you know, what's the problem here?
What how how come uh 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 my 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 gonna let them gain a bunch of ground, but you're not gonna 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 Cain repeating the same thing to Pence, and and and you're mad that Pence didn't fire back.
What 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 with what should he do to get off of the defensive uh position or posture there in the midst of Cain's attacks?
Dismiss it.
Say, look at 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 caller said, we're beyond all of that junk.
And we 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 let's let's then go back to Trump.
So Trump is up there and Hillary's going through these imaginary reasons why he didn't pay his taxes.
She she actually I thought throw him through 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.
Um 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 didn't 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 gonna come Sunday night, he's gonna 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 I don't know about that.
But uh 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 I 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's just, 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 like, 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 Cain's going through his litany of things that uh Trump said and Pence is not defending it, it seems to me that the simplest best way to go after Kane or Hillary is just to say, why are you even running?
If things are so good now, what is you why why are you talking about all this change?
We're in a mess in this country, and it's 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, 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, uh 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 a second.
Apparently, Frank Lunz and one of his recent focus groups.
That was uh CBS this morning.
That's the latest Frank Lunch 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.
Lunch told CBS this morning they are more upset over Hillary Clinton's emails than they are about Trump's tax returns.
Trump said Lunch 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 and the Clintons are responsible for this because they they change the vernacular.
Tax increases, tax payments have become contributions, have become investments.
And therefore, if you don't contribute, you're a sleaze bag.
And if you don't help with the investments into what?
Child care, making America whatever, then you're a sleaze bag.
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 dollars 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.
Twenty 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 funds 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 vote this one.
Back in just a second, folks, though, go away.
So now we learn 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 them, and you won't want to hide somewhere.
Details will be coming up in.
Yeah, you know, I do have an because well, I'm not going to offer any excuses.
Excuses are for losers, and I'm not a loser.
But I've been looking at the clock at an angle here, and I thought, but there's still not enough time to delve deeply.
But here's 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.
