Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Maybe.
Time will tell.
Maybe.
It could well be.
I mean, it appears so.
What I just heard.
You can listen for yourself.
The audio soundbite's coming up.
Hi, folks.
How are you?
We jamming here at the EIB Network.
L Rushbo at Christmas time at 800-282-2882.
And the email address L Rushbaugh at EIB net.us.
Just telling uh the staff there on the other side of the glass that my little tech blogger buddies, who really literally hate me, are just gonna be beside themselves today.
They're not going to know how to process this.
They are going to be confused and angry and questioning the purpose of life.
All because Bill Gates went on CNBC's squawk box this morning and was asked by the hostette there, Becky Quick.
Donald Trump mentioned he had a phone call with you.
How'd that conversation go, Mr. Gates?
I had an opportunity to talk to him about innovation.
A lot of his message, in the same way that President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that.
I think that whether it's education or stopping epidemics, and in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that his administration is going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation.
Bill Gates just compared the Trumpster to John F. Kennedy in a favorable way.
And Bill Gates is joining a lot of these other corporate people who during the campaign were savaging Trump and talking about their devotee, uh their devotion, uh devotee status for for Hillary Clinton.
And so many of them now, after Trump has been elected, are not just sidling up to Trump, but they are literally singing his praises after having met him.
I mean, this is incredible.
But in the same way President Kennedy talked about space mission and got the country behind that, I think whether it's education or stopping epidemics or this energy space, and I would I'm not I don't think he's talking about global warming here.
I think he's talking about energy creation, maybe innovation uh in energy creation.
Uh he said there can be a very upbeat message that Trump's administration's gonna organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation.
Gates further said that he uh spoke with Trump on the phone, discussed the power of innovation.
Gates said, of course, my whole career's been along those lines, and Trump was interested in listening to that, and I'm sure there will be further conversations.
Gates also said of Trump, a lot of Trump's message has been about where he say things not as good as he would like.
Well, well, well, well, well.
But there is another possibility.
It's remote.
Very, very because I think Gates is being honest here, but go to Audio Soundbite 14, Maureen Dowd, the famous Modo, was on a late-night so-called comedy show on NBC last night, and the host, a guy named Seth Myers, asked Modo this question.
You make this argument that Donald Trump's very susceptible to compliment.
And he's also very susceptible, in your opinion, to the last person he's talked to.
And so that's affecting the way people would deal with him.
Right.
That's why his staff, jockeys to get the last appointment of the day.
Because the last person who talks to him has a lot of sway.
And you know, he over flatters people, and he likes to be over flattered because basically he doesn't his ideology is his ego.
So, you know, everybody in Washington, from President Obama to Mitch McConnell is trying to flatter him.
Yes.
It's almost like a host body, and they think they can change his mind or pour their agenda in with some flattery.
And that worked with Putin.
Everybody in Washington is trying to flatter him.
In what Washington is she paying attention?
But anyway, you get the point here that Modo is saying a lot of people in order to trick Trump.
This is what she's saying.
A lot of people in order to fool Trump.
A lot of people setting Trump up by flattering him, by telling him how wonderful he is, by telling him how great he is.
And in this way she is basically saying here, this is how Trump's enemies and opponents can disarm him and then be poised to sneak up on him for the kill.
You're right.
Kiss his butt and you own him, is what.
And so I played that bite following Gates because I'm sure that Modo, upon hearing Gates says, that's this is exactly what I'm talking about.
Gates is flattering the guy.
Gates does a really think this guy's JFK.
Come on, he's just flattering Trump to get on Trump's good side.
This is how you.
In fact, folks, that is not how you deal with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is not unsure of who he is.
It's exactly, however, how you must deal with Barack Obama.
This is interesting to me because this is this is the precise way you have to deal with Obama.
You have to regard Obama as singularly great, uniquely great, uh unprecedented, a special kind of smart.
That's how you do it.
He demands it practically.
It's how he looks at uh at himself.
Uh is there any doubt in your mind?
I mean, I'm sure you've heard Trump praise Obama.
We have reported to you on this program the details of that.
He talks about how he loves talking to Obama, and Obama's advising him, and Obama's being very helpful, and he really, really, really has grown to like Obama.
You know my theory on that.
And I gotta be very careful.
I don't want you people to tell anybody so that Obama would hear it, because that kind of give it away.
But my theory is that Trump is very much aware of how dangerously and precariously perched the country is for now the next what, six weeks, five weeks.
And the last thing that you want to do is irritate and provoke the guy who still has control of all the levers of power.
And so you go in there and you regard him as a superior, as smarter than you, really, really helpful.
Talk about how much now don't tell, look, don't tell Obama anyway.
If you tell Obama this, then the ruiz is destroyed.
Just keep it between us.
Well, no, I'm not the drive-bikes don't listen, and media matters is not going to highlight this.
So we can keep this among ourselves.
But I'm gonna be fascinating if this is how they think they have to deal with Trump.
I actually think Gates is being honest.
I think Gates is like many people, talked about it earlier this week.
My gosh, I meant the guy.
I can't believe what a nice guy he-I can't tell how many times I hear that, even now after 30 years.
I I can't believe you're such a nice guy.
I mean, my gosh, what people say about you.
I didn't know what to expect.
I thought you're gonna walk in a room and start identifying all the liberals and start insulting them and kicking them out.
I've actually had people tell me that.
I mean, you don't you you you don't do that.
No, I I don't do that.
And by the same token, people are finding that Trump is not this monster that the drive buys have made him out to be.
I mean, he's a profoundly successful uh businessman, and that's what Gates is.
So we'll see here.
But I I think I think people are in for a lot of shock and surprise, even more people who meet Trump.
He's got is it today or next week that must be next week because they're not talking.
Trump's got this summit with all the Silicon Valley uh CEOs, including the the Google Obama guys, are coming in.
And I will I will wager that not all, but a lot of them are gonna come out of that meeting singing a much different tune than they will sing going in.
And it I'll tell you folks, it does surprise me.
We're talking about intelligent people here.
We're talking About people who see themselves reported on in the media who ought to know that much of what's said about them isn't true, and they might then assume or think that much of what's said about, say, somebody like Trump isn't true.
But that's not how it works.
You tend to believe what you read or watch, and it forms an impression, and then you meet whoever it is that you've created this impression, and they turned out to be totally different, and you're flabbergasted.
I think there's more of that coming, but I can't wait till after the program today, consult my tech blogs to find out how many of them are on the ledge, threatening to jump and wondering what Trump had to pay Gates, or offer Gates to get Gates to say what he said.
After talking with Trump, Bill Gates says President elect could be like JFK.
Notice he didn't come out of the meeting and say, My gosh, I thought I was talking to Hitler.
Oh my God, I thought I was talking to Mussolini.
Oh my God, I thought I was talking to a fascist.
We're in trouble.
Oh my God, this is worse than I He didn't say that.
He came out comparing Trump, the JFK and the Moon program.
Ladies and gentlemen, what is one of the things it's an unfair question because there's so many possible answers.
What is what would come to your mind first or second if I asked you the question, what have I said consistently about Obama in trying to get people to understand who he is.
Answer.
He's got a chip on his shoulder about this entire country from the founding forward because he thinks it's unjust and illegitimate, was a slave state and still is, and therefore is heavily balanced and biased against African Americans.
And I've said that I can't tell you how many times.
Obama's not that simple.
It's got to be much more complex.
No, no, no.
It is that simple because Obama's a liberal.
He's a liberal radical.
As such, that's who he is.
He's not the only one who looks at America that way.
I mean, he's presiding over a country that in his his eyes deserves to be in decline.
He's presiding over a country for which he needs to apologize.
Well, Obama gave an interview.
He was on Comedy Central on Monday night.
It was on a daily show that's hosted by Noah Trevor or Trevor Noah, I forget which.
It doesn't matter.
And on this program, Obama said that America by no means has overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism.
America has by no means overcome any of that.
Here's what he actually said.
Grab audio sound bait number three.
It was last night Comedy Central, the daily show with Trevor Noah.
And the question from the Comedy Central host, if you're a white person speaking about race, then you're just a person who's interested in race.
If you're a person of color speaking about race, it's like, oh, the black thing started again.
So the question I've always wanted to know is, how did you navigate that?
Because we watched you do it.
But I also wanted to know how you navigated that through your two terms.
Now, I did anybody know what he's asking here?
Is he asking Obama, how did you navigate the fact that this is a racist country that doesn't want you in the is that what he's asking?
What was he asking?
You don't know.
Well, anyway, it doesn't matter.
Here's what Obama said.
Race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives.
We have by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we've made has been real and extraordinary.
If I'm communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn't mean that they're not open to learning and caring about equality and justice.
Well, it leftist gobbledygook there, but you heard the answer.
No, no, no.
Uh my general theory is clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable with my own skin, clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives.
So his legacy, setting it up here.
His legacy is all about race.
And I want to go on record.
He's the guy, folks.
He and the Democrat Party are the ones who made his his regime all about race.
His race defined his presidency.
It would defined everything about it.
What you could say about him and what you could not, what you could think and what you could not.
It paralyzed so much of this country in terms of criticism and opposition.
And he's president of the United States.
He's not a dictator.
What he wants just doesn't automatically happen.
But nobody had the courage, very few had the courage to stand up and oppose what he was doing because of the racial component.
Racial strife in this country is maybe worse than it.
Well, it no, definitely it's worse than than when he took office.
But I'm play the soundbite just to let you know that I know what I'm talking about.
I know who these people are, know how they think.
And that chip on his shoulder is there.
And his wife has it too.
They do.
And I think they're providing lip service here to the w when that when they say that there's been incredible progress, because that's not what they focus on.
They don't focus on the incredible progress.
That's a throwaway line.
The Democrat Party is a party of identity politics.
The Democrat Party is a party that seeks its power by putting its members into groups of victims who have grievances against America.
And the grievances are all rooted in the American founding.
And it has led us to where we are, and there has now been a huge backlash against it.
And Obama admits going out of office that race is his legacy.
A brief timeout will come back.
Don't doubt me on this stuff, folks.
Do not ever doubt me.
As the program unfolds, we will continue with the latest on the whole hacking uh fantasy.
Tell you a little about Rex Tillerson, who he is, where he comes from, and what the lines of opposition will probably be, lots of other things.
But I want to stick with President Obama here for a second because HBO has a new nightly newscast show called Vice.
And Obama was on this program, Vice Special Report.
He was on this show Friday night.
Now Obama came into office with me on his mind.
This is not ego speaking, it's fact.
Two weeks after Obama was emaculated, he held a meeting in the White House with congressional leaders from both parties.
And John Boehner was there and Mitch Makato from the Senate.
There's about eight or nine Republicans here with and a uh an equal number, maybe a few more Democrats there.
And Obama was laying down the law.
And he was explaining how things were going to be, how they were going to work together to get things done, cross the aisle and all that happy horse manure.
And Obama looked at the Republicans and he said to them, You've got to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.
That's not how things get done in Washington.
And John Boehner looked around and said, Well, what's that about?
He Boehner came down here a couple weeks later, had a meeting with him, he told me about it.
He said, I don't know why he would say that.
I said, Mr. Speaker.
He was hoping that you or McConnell or somebody from your group there would walk to the microphones outside the White House, inside the West Wing, and agree with him that it was time to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh, and that the Republicans were now working with Obama toward a new day.
That's what he was hoping.
He had had a meeting.
He had had a dinner party with the conservatives.
He wanted to be known as the conservative leaders in Washington.
George Will, Charles Crowdhammer, Larry Cudlow, forget the three or four others.
But he wanted them to stop listening to me.
So he comes into office, warning the Republicans to forget me, because he was under the impression that they're afraid of me and they're afraid of me criticizing them, so they don't do what Obama thinks they should do.
On this program on HBO Friday night.
Shane Smith is the host.
Said, Mr. President, you're leaving office soon.
Two terms, a lot of partisan politics, a lot of fighting, known for that.
Seems as if it'll become even more paralyzed now that you're leaving.
Where do you see politics going?
We have some structural problems in our politics more broadly that are creating greater polarization.
The fact that our media has gotten so splintered.
You know, as recently as Bill Clinton's presidency, certainly with Ronald Reagan's presidency.
The majority of people still consume their news from the nightly networks.
And you had common basis of facts.
Then today, anybody with access to a website has an opinion.
The Republicans are only concerned about what's on Fox News or what Rush Limbaugh is saying, and Democrats are looking at the New York Times or Huffington Post.
So Obama comes into office telling Republicans that they can't listen to Rush Limbaugh anymore and get things done.
That's just not how it happens in Washington.
And he's leaving office, having failed to remove one of his main impediments from his equation, and that would be me.
So after eight years, Obama, he comes into office with me living rent-free in his head, and I'm still there.
As he prepares to exit.
We think as he prepares to uh to exit.
You notice, yeah, we want the good old days when it was just ABC, CBS, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post.
Because everybody was working off the same set of facts.
Everybody was working off the same set.
The same narrative, the same propaganda.
Democrats have lost control of media now.
Jim in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
I'm gonna start on the phones early today.
Great to have you.
How are you doing, sir?
Hello, how are you?
Very well, thank you.
Hey, I uh was listening to you talking about uh Maureen Dowd and Seth Myers at the top of the show, and I was laughing because uh for the last eight years I haven't watched the news or talk, you know, uh the late night talk shows or whatever, they're just not funny, and it's always depressing.
But uh since the election, boy, I can't get enough of it.
I just have to cut on the six o'clock evening news and just I just laugh so hard.
And I was thinking, you know, you always talk about the college kids being snowflakes, but boy, the meltdown that I've seen uh Francis Myers and some of those other ones do, it's just they're not funny, but it's hilarious.
You can't pick a name.
They're all melting down.
Everyone's the New York Times, the New York Times just named its sixth White House reporter.
They're gonna have six people in the press room.
Six people covering Trump.
Oh my.
Yeah, it's just absolutely hilarious.
I'm actually feeling celebratory this uh holiday season.
Well, you know, I'm glad to hear that, because I can I share I I'm I'm I'm getting a little fed up with some of the pessimism that I'm hearing.
Not from any of you, but but from friends of mine who are worried that the media stuff is gonna we I it's a it's a frustrating thing to me because I know a lot of people.
No, no, no.
I don't know a lot of people.
I know some people, I'm sure you do too, who will not be convinced we've really won anything until the media changes.
And that isn't gonna happen.
And so they look at the media not liking Trump and they think it's failure.
They look at media ripping Trump and destroying Trump and they think it's gonna work, and it means failure.
And I get so fed up, I said, Do you people not understand we're on the cusp here of some one of the most exciting next four years?
The growth potential, the the the potential of putting this country back together or getting started on that is off the charts.
You know, I so I'm I'm with robust optimism here, and I get a little fed up uh with with these naysayers.
So I'm glad to hear from you out there, Jim.
You know, you know, I think I may actually smoke a celebratory cigar, and I know you're an expert.
What would you recommend?
Uh uh celebratory cigar.
You can't go wrong with anything padrone.
Padrones.
Padrone.
You choose your size, choose uh some people like the padrone Maduros, the dark rapper.
I prefer the uh the non Maduro, but but you can't go wrong with uh either one.
Anything from Arturo Fuente.
Arturo Fuente.
Charl Fuente.
You know, when I start doing this, I'm gonna anger all these cigar people whose names I don't mention.
Because well, I know them.
And I thought, man, you'd be the best person to uh you you Well I am.
I am, there's no question.
Expert.
I am.
I am.
And then there are differences in them, and there are some that are much better than others.
I'm not gonna I'm just gonna give you the names Fuente, can't go Fuente Don Carlos, number two.
Fuente Don Collis number two.
I'm gonna have to try it.
Or uh or or one of the padrones.
Uh there's Ashton is uh there's so many Rocky Patel, Rocky Patel has uh, you know, he's got a cigar named for Gary Sheffield, who played for the uh the New York Mets some other teams.
And it's actually the band is a picture of shape.
He's got one for Ray Lewis, too.
But Rocky Patel cigars are fabulous, too.
Look, while I have you, as you probably know, every caller, this is the fourth week, gets to choose a new iPhone 7 or 7 plus.
And it's your turn.
Would you like one?
Oh my, absolutely.
Thank you very much.
That's awesome.
Now, uh, what size would you like?
Do you know the difference in the two?
Well, hey, Trump won, so let's go big.
Good for you.
Which what's your carrier?
A T and T. AT is to pick a color.
What color do you want?
Uh black or whatever you have the most of.
Whatever, whatever's not moving fast enough to be.
I can cover you.
I can cover you want black, jet black, or you want the matte black.
Um what do you recommend?
Which you know, whichever you have the most of.
I'm not I'm not picky.
It's not a factor, whichever I have the most of.
It's uh when I start giving stuff away, I don't run out.
Oh, okay.
So the the here's the thing.
The jet black is the the both blacks are new, jet black and mat black.
The jet black is an actual shiny piano black, and it has been the toughest to get because it's the toughest to make.
It does show fingerprints on the back, but it has a different feel.
It's not as slippery as in your hand.
The matte black is just as gorgeous, but it's matte, it's not shiny, and and it doesn't show fingerprints or any of that.
Both have the same front.
So I uh play the piano, not as well as your nephew, not by any means, but I do play the piano, so I'll go with uh shiny black man.
Shiny Jet Black.
Okay, hang on.
So now you're you're a ATT shiny jet black.
Let me tell you what, this phone's gonna come unlocked.
It'll work on any carrier.
It has no SIM card in it.
So what kind of phone do you have now?
Uh it's a Chinese knockoff brand that I got in college, and all the college kids.
You'll have to take the new phone to an ATT store, tell them it's a gift.
Okay, doesn't have a SIM card in it, and tell them to move the number from the cheap Chinese knockoff that you have over to the new phone, and you'll be up and running.
Hang on so we get your address and get it out to you.
Appreciate it.
That's Jim.
Who's next?
Where are we going next?
Give me that be Mindy in Cincinnati.
Mindy, welcome.
Great to have you with us in the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey Rash, it's Mindy.
I'm a first-time caller, longtime listener.
I'm concerned about Trump's picks um about his cabinet.
Now with Teller is being appointed, I'm really kind of concerned about the small business guy.
Tillerson's choice as Secretary of State concerns you for the small business guy.
Yeah, well, I mean, he's appointing a lot of um cabinet members that are h businessmen, wealthy businessmen, billionaires, millionaires, and I'm worried how that's gonna affect the small businessmen coming down the pike.
Why?
What what what's are you worried that these picks of his are not Well, I I'm just afraid that he's not gonna that they're not gonna pay attention to the small businessmen.
I'm afraid that with all these big b billionaires being appointed to the cabinet that they're gonna forget about the little guy.
How so?
Tell me how you think that's going to manifest itself.
Well, I just think that they're focused on big business, you know, they're trying to bring all this stuff back into the country, and I'm just worried that they're not gonna, you know, that they're not gonna build up the small business guy.
They're gonna forget about him, and I'm just worried about that.
All right.
Well, I w let me try to allay your fears.
Um I I don't detect any animus or lack of caring from Donald Trump on anybody in business.
I think anybody in business is small, medium, or large, in his view, has the same set of problems, and that is obstacles put in their way by government regulators and various government agencies.
And I think Trump wants what he wants America to be, he knows where most of the jobs are created in this country.
I think he's he's got these successful big guys in there that he's choosing, and not all of them are in in cabinet departments that have to do with uh with business.
He just he's got successful people who've navigated the waters, and they're these guys are not exclusive.
They're not trying to deny anybody else success.
They're trying to, these are the people that try to shower everybody with it and open up the uh the avenues of success for practically everybody.
That aspect, I I don't have any concern about that.
I don't think there's any evidence that Trump is uninterested or has any kind of an animus against small business people.
I think it's just the opposite, in fact.
You think so?
Yes.
Now, if you if you can cite me something specific that you've heard Trump do or say other than no, I I just with all the picks and that just being so like it's he's gonna have like the richest cabinet ever in the world.
So what's the right thing?
Don't know you're falling prey to liberal memes.
You're right.
You're right.
You're falling prey to the notion that a rich person's not to be trusted, that a rich person doesn't care about anybody else, that the rich people are trying to arrange the deck only for themselves.
Not that's it's it's not true.
These are people who manufacture products and provide services they know the middle class has to be able to afford.
If whatever you make or or or or whatever you make and sell or whatever service you provide is priced in such a way that your own employees can't afford it, you're not doing something right.
These people that they not I don't I don't know about all of them, but I don't think any of them were born to this.
I think they all started small.
They know what it takes to get that's what Trump likes.
They know what it takes to get there.
They have done it.
They have faced adversity, they've climbed the ranks.
Rex Tillerson.
Rick's Tillerson started at Exxon in 1974.
It's the only place he has ever worked.
And he didn't start in the executive suite.
He worked his way up to it and had to win a very fierce competition to get CEO after Lee Raymond, who was the preceding CEO, um retired.
I I I'd be very, very careful about falling prey to the same things that liberals say about people.
That is, rich people are automatically untrustworthy.
They love to use class envy and they love to attack the whole notion of trickle-down economics by pointing out the rich or miserly and they don't share and they don't give and they don't.
It's all a bunch of it's it's it's it's not true.
You just wait and see.
You'll you'll find out I'm right here.
Yeah, I I think I hope so anyway.
You will that way.
Now, what kind of phone you want?
Seven plus or seven?
Uh seven plus, please.
Plus, your carrier?
Uh ATP.
Okay, take your pick of colors.
Uh jet black.
Jet black.
It will be yours.
Yours also will come without a SIM card unlocked.
It'll work on any carrier.
So what kind of phone do you have now?
Um, I actually have just a track phone.
A track phone, okay.
Okay, well.
It's like from straight talk.
Okay.
Then take that phone and the new one to the ATT store.
They'll have to put a new a SIM card in your new one with your number on it, and they'll move it from that phone you've got now.
Wow.
And take take it in the box so they have all the numbers that go with it, and you tell them that it's a gift and that it's unlocked from the factory, and they'll say, yep, okay.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Don't hang up.
Need to get your address back in just a second, folks.
After chatting with Mindy, I checked something and I found something from Bloomberg today.
Small business owners' optimism skyrockets following Trump victory.
And here's what this article, Bloomberg says.
President elect Trump's victory in the U.S. elections is a giant leap for small businesses, according to a survey of small business owners.
The November reading of the National Federation of Independent Businesses Small Business Optimism Index jumped to 98.4 from 94.9.
That's the biggest surge since 2009, Obama's first year in office, with all of the increase in sentiment coming after the elections held on November 8th.
And among those who were surveyed following the election, the balance of opinion on whether business conditions were expected to improve skyrocketed from a reading of minus six to plus 38.
Small business optimism is off the charts out there, Mindy.
According to a Bloomberg story today.
And look at who Trump is going out.
Look at who one of his constituency groups is.
White working people.
Now you might think that they work at major corporations, but these are not highly paid wealthy people.
They are the people Trump is championing.
Those are the jobs that Trump is trying to save or bring back into the country, no matter who employs them.
I I really I would I would really guard against falling prey to any liberal criticism of conservatives and Republicans here because it's wrote and it's been made for decades, and it's rooted in the rich are out to get you, the richer out to cheat you, rich CEOs and their companies are out to kill you.
I mean, I just ignore it.
These people are flailing away.
They are melting down.
They are imploding.
But they're not going away.
The hacking news will continue as we uh as we move into the next hour.
But I saw a story also from Bloomberg, I'm sure you've seen it elsewhere.
And I the same reaction that I had all during the Obama years.
Here's the headline Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan back the CIA after Trump attacks the hacking probe.
The two top Republicans in Congress offered strong support for the intelligence community yesterday, in sharp contrast to President elect Trump's attack on the CIA after reports the agency found the Russian government tried to help him win the presidency.
I'm gonna tell you what I think.
I've got dwindling seconds here.
But this red flags, immediately I saw.
They went up when I saw this headline.
McConnell Ryan back CIA.
Look, I understand the need for solidarity with the intelligence aid.
They can do great damage to you if you buck them.
But hang on.
We will continue here in mere moments.
First hour in the can, El Rushbow serving humanity simply by showing up.
I'll tell you a little bit about Rex Tillerson when we get back.
And conclude my thoughts on the headline, McConnell Ryan back CIA after Trump attacks.
Their probe of the hacking of the election.
