Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Would somebody give Hillary Clinton a participation trophy already?
Somebody please, so they would shut up about the Russians and about blaming everybody when they lost.
Now Obama's back to blaming me, back to blaming Fox News.
Said that I created the character Barack Obama that misinformed everybody about the great guy he really is.
But I can't take it anymore.
The Russians this, the Russians that.
We got Obama out there to story that's saying one of Obama's advisors wanted Obama to threaten the Russians with military action.
That this was an act of war what the Russians did was hack the election, but Obama said, no, I'm going to handle it my way and called up Putin and said, cut it out.
That's a far cry from declaring war.
Hey, Vlad, cut it out.
And that supposedly happened in September, and that's Obama's out there saying the Russians stopped.
They were quaking in their boots because Barack Hussein O said cut it out in September.
But now they're back to saying the Russians didn't stop.
Now let's look at this.
Hillary Clinton had the entire mainstream media, not just here but around the world.
She had the entire entertainment industry.
She had all of corrupt academia.
She in fact had the entire establishment culture, and she even had some people in the Republican Party on her side.
And she still lost.
And so did the Obama agenda.
So did the actual agenda items that Obama has implemented in the past eight years.
All of it was sent packing, including Mrs. Clinton.
Where did Mrs. Clinton spend her vacation time?
Where did she spend the summer?
She was in the Hamptons.
She was in Martha's Vineyard.
She was doing fundraisers on the Upper East side and the upper west side of Manhattan.
And then under cover of darkness, she would sneak down to Soho and the West Village.
And she's raising all this money while vacationing at this.
Where was Trump while all this was going on?
He was in every state in the center of the country, four and five speeches a day to the people who make the country work.
And Hillary's vacationing in the Hamptons and at Martha's Vineyard and hanging around with all the swells in the elite establishment, and they are all under sight, and she still lost because she didn't have any kind of a message.
She's a lousy candidate.
Isn't it amazing now how many on their side are now admitting she was a lousy candidate?
This is what gets me.
In all these postmortems, you know, like Doug Schoen and all these other Democrats, and not just him, I mean there's a whole slew of them out there, folks, that are now talking about what a bad campaign she ran and what a lacking candidate we was.
Well, wait a minute now.
Why were they also telling us at the Democrat convention there was never anybody even as close to being qualified to be president as Hillary Clinton in the history of the country?
We are dealing with some serious derangement here and dangerously deranged and unhinged behavior by the maybe if somebody just give her a participation trophy and make her think she won something.
This will all go away.
Great to have you, Rush, Limbaugh behind the Golden A by EIB microphone, telephone number 800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.us.
So there's a tweet from Donald Trump this morning at about uh 1041 a.m.
I have this tweet.
I'm holding it here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
I want to read this tweet to you.
Someone incorrectly stated that the phrase drain the swamp was no longer being used by me.
Actually, we will always be trying to drain the swamp.
Well, now who was it that went out there?
Who was it when out there and said that Trump was going to disclaim the phrase that he was going to now try to elevate things?
Was that Newt?
Was that Mr. Newt that did that?
What did I tell you yesterday, folks.
I know it's so many things it's impossible to know to the specific thing I refer.
I mentioned to you that highly achieved people who are in the limelight.
It's one of the most dangerous times for highly achieved people.
When they're in the limelight and when the light is casting a great glow on them, and they are the focus of attention because everybody wants to get close to them.
Everybody wants to be seen as part of the inner circle.
Everybody wants to make it look like they are one of the really tight insiders.
And then there are those who will attempt to parlay that that uh perception into an attempt at manipulating the highly achieved person.
I can tell you that this happens.
And I know, and you know, that there are probably some people in the Trump orbit, and there's several Trump orbits.
I mean, you've got the real close insiders, then you've got the second and third tier, the fourth tier, and there's a bunch of people in the uh in the Trump orbit, and the farther out they are, the closer in they want to be.
And so the more insider they will try to make themselves look like they are.
And then you have people who really think you know, they love Trump, think he's okay, but man, he's got to stop some of this reckless language.
You gotta stop.
So they'll go out there and just say, I'm not accusing Newton of this.
I don't really know what happened here, but I'm telling you this kind of thing happens.
That people go out there and and and try to influence and manipulate, say, Trump in this case by claiming he's gonna stop using the term drain the swamp because they think he should.
I don't know who I at some point people are gonna have to figure out that you don't manipulate Donald Trump, that he manipulates you.
He's he's not unsure.
You can only manipulate people that are not sure of themselves.
You can only manipulate people that are um imbued with uh degree of self-doubt.
That happens to be most people, by the way.
But it's very, very hard to manipulate people, especially people like Trump, who have been the targets of manipulation their whole lives, you learn to spot it, and you really resent the people that try it because it's an insult to your intelligence.
So I I don't know, I again I'm not saying that any of this is what's going on with Mr. Nude.
I'm just using this event as a teachable moment.
There are other examples of people out there saying that Trump's gonna stop doing this or not do this, he's gonna start doing this.
It dates back to the campaign.
We had people, yeah, Trump, she's gonna start acting more presidential very, very soon.
He realizes he needs to act more presidential.
Well, there's no doubt there's people that were in Trump's camp, but were nervous.
Trump wasn't appearing presidential enough.
So and you know as well as I do that the first time people spot a camera or microphone, many of people just gravitate to it and want to be seen or heard.
This is one of the greatest it's not one of the greatest.
It is a tremendous potential uh trap for highly achieved people who are in the midst of great moments of fame.
You know, fame is a cyclical thing because after a while you're not new.
After a while it wears off.
After a while, uh people get used to you.
You're still famous, but the intensity of that, and and then other in terms of presidents uh when Trump is inaugurated and actually starts doing things, then all this is going to change a little bit.
Right now, Trump's on a free ride, essentially.
Not a criticism, but when actual things happen to have his fingerprints on them, well, then it's gonna change a little bit.
They're still gonna have the hangers on.
He's still gonna have the people to suck up sycophants and so forth and so on.
But it's something that people in his position have to be very aware of.
And then there are phonies that are close to him.
Really, they're uh if if they if he makes them unhappy, if he doesn't give them what they want, might run out privately trying to undermine him.
I mean, it is a vicious jungle in the world Donald Trump lives in right Now, the outward appearance is, man, it couldn't get any better.
This is great.
President of the United States, and it is, but it's got a lot of pitfalls.
It uh it has a lot of potholes that Trump has to avoid.
Okay, looky here.
Obama's done it again, folks, from the Hill.com just a short time ago.
Obama gets rid of visitor registry before Trump takes over.
The Obama administration abolishing a national registry program created to track visitors from countries with active terrorist groups.
A move likely intended to send a strong message to Donald Trump just weeks before he takes office.
This is actually a New York Times story the Hill is repeating.
Now, this follows the terror attacks in Berlin, which we're going to spend some time on today.
Trump, after the terror attacks, went out and called this an attack on humanity, and then said that he's reviving his idea of a Muslim ban.
He's going to start rethinking this.
Some think that he had been talked out of it or had relaxed the idea himself.
But now it's getting serious.
And, you know, it's it's wise, folks.
Uh Andy McCarthy has a piece today at National.
He's an expert in this stuff.
And Andy's point is this guy in Berlin.
Yeah, he's an immigrant.
Yeah, he's a refugee.
And yeah, he's a jihadist.
And yeah, he came in from who knows wherever, and he's got a he's got a record a mile long.
This is a bad guy.
But Andy's point is when you allow the immigration of refugees from jihadi areas, from uh Islamic hotbed areas, they end up living together in enclaves.
Like in France, they have a couple of areas, and the cops are even afraid to go there.
In Germany, there are 20 such enclaves where the immigrants, the refugees, end up living amongst themselves.
And what happens if there's ever unrest there, the cops go in, and what happens is that 40 or 50 men will surround the cop car and threaten them with all kinds of violence to the point the cops don't even show up.
We've heard this, we've had people deny it, but we know it's true.
Now, Andy's point is that those enclaves are breeding grounds that you can have perfectly innocent, fine, wonderful people that come in from, say, Syria or any other war-torn area, and you put amongst them a bunch of jihadis, and you've got a powder keg.
And it's not so much, I mean, it's a danger, the actual jihadi who gets in illegally one of your open spots on your border, but just as dangerous, if not more so, is the breathing grounds, these enclaves, which is where this guy in Berlin came from, and where he goes back to hide.
He's probably running around free as a bird in one of these enclaves if people are afraid to go.
Belgium has them, Paris has them, Germany has them.
So Trump talks about putting his registry back in place, his is his uh uh is Muslim ban.
And right, what is Obama do?
Obama gets rid of visitor registry.
The regime has abolished a national registry program created to track visitors from countries with active terror groups.
This is Obama.
Remember now, we just had Muchel my Bell Obama on with the Oprah, talking about how they're gonna be so cooperative.
They're gonna be so helpful to the incoming President Trump, unlike the way they've been treated.
Oh yes, unlike the way the Obamas have been treated.
The Obamas have been treated very mean, unfair, and unjust.
But they're not gonna do that.
They're bigger people, they're gonna be above us.
They're gonna let Trump come in and offer all the assistance they can.
And they're trying to undermine Trump.
Here come these executive orders in perpetuity, but no gas drilling, no oil drilling here or there, and now here's Obama getting rid of the visitor registry.
I don't know how many terrorists actually sign up on this registry.
I mean, I can say don't know how big a deal this is.
You know, I mean Ali Sahid Skyhook shows up from Syria, signs in occupation terrorist in waiting.
Well, I don't think it happens that way.
But still, you know, it's Obama throwing down the gauntlet of Trump.
While we're being told by the drive bys that there's massive cooperation.
The Obamas are big people, great people, way above this pettiness that greeted the Obamas when they arrived in the White House.
Have you heard about the business that happened with Ivanka Trump?
You heard about this?
There's two things.
Ivanka Trump was flying out of New York that I assume to come down here.
I assume she said it to Marilago.
So I assume she left JFK on a jet blue flight.
She was traveling with her kids and some other family members in coach on a jet blue flight.
I'm thinking, what in the world is Ivanka Trump with her kids doing flying coach?
Flying commercial.
I mean, from a security standpoint, for claiming her dad is the president elect.
Could easily charter a jet if Trump won is locked here in uh in in Palm Beach.
So maybe it is an effort to appear uh unelite.
I don't know.
But it's a risky thing to do, and it was risky.
There was an out-of-control passenger on her flight began verbally beraving her and jeering at her three kids.
She was on a jet blue flight, leaving JFK this morning with her family when the passenger started screaming, Your father's ruining the country.
Guy screamed, why is she on our flight?
She should be flying private.
The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade.
A passenger on the flight told TMZ, which happens to be everywhere.
Was TMZ have a reservation on every flight?
Is TMZ have a reporter?
Does Harvey Levin have a guy on every airplane that's flying in this country?
TMZ's everywhere.
A passenger on the flight told TMZ that Ivanka Trump ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons.
Jet Blue personnel escorted the passenger off the flight.
As he was removed, he screamed, You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion.
JetBlue released a statement.
The decision to remove the customer from the flight is not taken lightly if the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict in the aircraft.
The customer will be asked to de-plan, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during the flight.
Our team worked to reaccommodate the party on the next available flight.
The husband of the unruly passenger tweeted an hour before the plane took off, Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5 flying commercial, my husband chasing them down to harass them.
What?
The guy's gay?
I don't mean to sound shocked.
I know it's the new normal.
Forgive me.
I just...
The husband of the unruly passenger tweeted an hour before the plane took off.
Ivanka and Jared at JFK Terminal 5 flying commercial, my husband chasing him down to harass them.
So Jed Blue was right to get rid of the Malcontent.
These people, I'm telling you, these are the ones we media keeps telling us they're tolerant and compassionate and uh and understanding.
And now artists, you know, Ivanka has a house.
She lives someplace, and she's a big art aficionado.
She's got a lot of apparently very expensive art.
The artists have found out that their works are handing or hanging on her walls, and they're in mass, angry and demanding that she take them down.
They don't want their work anywhere near the Trump's.
Had that happened here too in a different way.
We'll gotta take a break, though.
Hang in there, folks.
Be back here with just more.
And greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program.
Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair, and that's the same we do it every day.
Big believers in fairness here.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Okay, um Ivanka Trump, big into the arts.
She has a lot of, I guess it is expensive art that is hanging on the walls of her home.
And there's a Picture of her standing next to one of these great works of art.
I frankly think it's a mess, but you know, it's personal taste.
Anyway, group of New York artists, angered with Trump's victory are taking their frustration out on Ivanka, demanding that she remove their artwork from the walls of her home.
She got 2,700 pictures on her Instagram, and many of them feature the art in her home.
She'd posted a picture on her own social media of her standing next to a piece by Philadelphia artist Alex de Court.
DeCourt recently wrote the following to Ivanka on Instagram.
Dear Ivanka Trump, please get my work off of your walls.
I'm embarrassed to be seen with you.
This bunch of people.
We've dealt with this here.
You know, over the course, my first time that I appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Uh, James Taylor was scheduled to be the musical guest.
He canceled as an actor protest, which is fine with me.
I think his music sucks.
And then Michael McDonald of the Brothers El Dubo refused to allow one of the bridges in his song to be used in a bumper rotation here.
And then Carlos Santana, although his note was respectful and nice, but this happens.
These people on the left, these are the most intolerant bunch of children.
A bunch of arrogant, condescending children.
No, I've never, I've never, James, I've just never gotten, I've never been into that kind of musical science.
It didn't bother me he canceled.
They told me, no, no, it's not about you.
It's not about yes, it was.
All right, Newt Gingrich just uh tweeted.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, Newt Newt just tweeted, I goofed.
Draining the swamp is in.
So again, Trump tweeted about 1040 this morning, the following tweet.
He said somewhat incorrectly stated that the phrase drain a swamp was no longer being used by me.
Actually, we will always be trying to DTS drain the swamp.
Uh that's a key thing.
Draining the swamp, what that means is a key thing to Trump supporters.
It really is.
You know, there's another story out there today that it isn't getting, they don't have any legs yet, but I'm telling you, if this thing, if if this if this gets a wide birth, it's going to cause all kinds of problems.
GOP considers holding off on repealing Obamacare taxes.
Why?
Doesn't make any sense here.
Repealing Obamacare is repealing Obamacare, and the taxes are a big part of it.
Stories at the Hill.com.
Congressional Republicans are considering holding off on repealing some of Obamacare's taxes according to lobbyists familiar with lobbyists.
What do lobbyists have to do with this?
See where I'm going with this.
This is not, this isn't Trump.
GOP lawmakers in the House Ways and Means Committee discussed the possibility of keeping some of the taxes in place during a retreat last week at a library of Congress.
Even if some of the taxes are not removed as part of the initial repeal bill, it does not necessarily mean that they will remain indefinitely.
Some Obamacare taxes could be dealt with as part of a larger tax reform bill later in the year.
Here we go, kicking and can down the road, just keep kicking the can down the road.
No excuses now.
There's no excuses for not dealing with this stuff.
Still, it says here there is at least a possibility that some taxes could remain in place to provide revenue for a replacement health care measure.
Now, again, the first thing that we have to say is this may not be true at all.
It may be totally fake news.
Nothing's changed where the media is concerned.
The media will continue to do everything it can to separate Trump supporters from Trump and Republican supporters from Republicans.
The media will do everything it can, in other words, to undermine this election, the transition, and the Trump administration.
So when you hear stories like this or see them, the first reaction has to be, especially when it doesn't make any sense.
What?
Is there a name?
Is there somebody quoted?
No, there's nobody quoted.
According to lobbyists, familiar with this well, lobbyists are not very happy right now, folks, because Trump has made it plain that they're not getting to do with his administration.
They had nothing to do with his campaign.
They had nothing to do with him getting elected, and he's put a ban on anybody in his administration working in lobbying for five years after they leave.
So lobbyists are not the happiest campers right now.
So here we have a story at the Hill.com.
According to lobbyists, congressional Republicans are considering holding off on repealing some of Obamacare's tax.
That doesn't make sense with what this campaign was about.
It doesn't jive with what Trump made clear that one of his objectives is.
Now, about repealing Obamacare, I mentioned this a couple times, and it might be worthwhile to throw it out there again at this point.
There is a miniature battle going on within the Republican Party on Capitol Hill about just how to repeal Obamacare, and then what do you do next.
And there are...
There's...
Well, there are two versions going around of what is on the table.
Repeal Obamacare going to happen.
That is supposedly a given.
The replacement is where all of the question marks are.
Now, there are stories out there that the Republicans don't have a replacement plan yet.
That in all of this time spent as the minority while Obama implemented Obamacare, and while the Republicans were out opposing it and promising to repeal it if they ever got a chance.
We're led to believe that in all of these past five years, let's say, there hasn't been a single Republican sit down and write a replacement piece of legislation.
Paul Ryan says there is.
They've got one, but nobody knows what it is.
And it's that's an off-the-record comment that has been shared with me.
So we either have a replacement bill or we don't.
But then the next aspect of this is when do you do the replacement?
The repeal is apparently going to happen immediately.
Meaning we're going to go on record as repealing it, but we're not going to get rid of it right away.
We're going to replace it with something that nobody apparently has yet, either in two years or in three years.
There are arguments for both.
There's also a third option.
Don't replace it with anything.
Just cancel Obamacare.
And then let insurance companies start selling insurance across state lines.
Bring some market competition back into this, and let things fall out.
And everybody on Capitol Hill is afraid to do that.
They are afraid to replace Obamacare with nothing.
They're afraid to let the market determine the fate of health care.
They think it has to be regulated, it has to be legislated, it has to be scripted, it has to be written.
So the two-year implementation of a replacement or three-year is purely political.
And it comes down to the midterm elections in 2018.
Right now, the Democrats have a slew of seats in the Senate that they have to defend.
I think it's like 25 seats.
They have 25 seats up for grabs, and it's not looking good, obviously, based on the election results last November.
So among these 25 Democrats, there are seven or eight that are really vulnerable because they are in red states.
They're in states that Trump won.
So the argument for waiting for three years to replace Obamacare is you wait till after the midterms, where it's possible the Republicans could literally have sixty to sixty-two seats in the Senate.
And if the Republicans ever got to 60 or 62 seats in the Senate, then they own it, and there's nothing that Democrats can do to stop it, filibuster, you name it, as long as whoever won Mitch McConnell keep all 60 together, and they're thinking this is possible.
However, there's a group of thought, school of thought says, no, no, we don't want to wait for that because you don't know what's going to happen in the midterms.
Trump may screw up, it may go south on us.
We may not get enough seats.
We might end up losing seats in 2018.
We can't wait three years.
We've got to repeal it while we have the chance.
Or replace it while we have the chance.
So those are the arguments taking place.
And it's amidst all that that this story hits in the hill.
GOP considers holding off on repealing Obamacare taxes.
And I'm just here to tell you the wise thing to do, based on the source being quoted here as lobbyists, the wise thing to do is punt and don't get suckered into this.
They want you thinking that Republicans are going to sell you out, folks.
They want, I know, I know Republicans have in the past.
There's a different equalizer, however, here, and that's Trump.
And right now, people on Capitol Hill, whether they like it or not, and they don't like it, trust me, are going to go along with Trump.
He clearly has the mandate on the Republican side.
He clearly is the reason they all won.
He is the reason.
I mean, folks, don't forget, a month out, Paul Ryan gave up on Trump.
Paul Ryan was out saying, I'm focusing on maintaining as many seats in the House as I can.
A month out, you had ref Republican officialdom thinking Trump was going to lose, and they were in self-protection mode.
They are where they are because of Donald Trump, and they know it.
So what Trump wants to do in Obamacare is what's going to happen.
But see, right now we're in the transition, so all these people are out there jockeying and trying to say things that are making Trump supporters nervous.
And we just need to be patient.
Wait.
See, there's another there's another example of this about how the media is totally misleading, and it's a story about the people Trump wants in his cabinet.
And this story, what is this story in the Washington Post?
We can trust what's in the Washington Post, right?
Here's the headline of the story.
Donald Trump wants appointments to look the part.
What do you think?
When you hear me read that headline, or if it was in front of you and we're reading it, what do you think it means?
Trump wants appointments to look the part.
Well, it means Trump wants beautiful people.
Trump wants good-looking people.
Trump is a surface person.
Donald Trump has no depth whatsoever.
And it proves that he's a misogynist and a racist.
This shows that Trump only cares about what people look like.
Okay, is that what the story says?
Well, let's see after the break.
But I'll give you a hint.
It's not.
It's not even close.
To what is actually meant by that with the more after this.
Trump wants appointments to look the part.
Washington Post.
Fake news.
It's total misdirection.
It gives a tirely incorrect impression of a singular quote from one of the Trump spokespeople.
First paragraph of the story.
President elect Donald Trump is taking appearances into consideration as he crafts his administration, according to a new report.
Trump's aides have accepted that he may rule out candidates who do not satisfy his image of what represents particular roles.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
That's the language he speaks, said a source familiar with the Trump transition team's internal deliberations.
Again, one source, name not mentioned.
He's very aesthetic, says this source.
You can come with somebody who's very much qualified for the job, but if they don't look the part, they're not going to get anywhere with Trump.
So once again, fake news.
We are being asked to believe something an anonymous source is probably knows is out of joint because he didn't get a gig with Trump.
I guarantee him to you that's what this is.
I'm just, I don't, I actually can't guarantee it.
But my wild guess is that the source for this story is somebody who wanted a position and didn't get it, and their nose Is out of joint for some reason.
Source supposedly close to Trump, telling all this to the Washington Post.
You think people who work for Trump are secretly blabbing to the news media?
Not people close to him.
No way.
Maybe people that he has not chosen.
Maybe people who knows out of joint for one reason or another.
Here is the basis for this story in this next paragraph.
A Trump transition spokesman said that Trump considers how officials representing his administration will appear in public.
Jason Miller, quote, presentation is very important because you're representing America, not only on the national stage, but also the international stage, depending on the position.
People who are being selected for these key positions need to be able to hold their own, need to be doers and not wallflowers, and need to convey a clear sense of purpose and commitment.
Now, folks, there's absolutely nothing that Jason Miller said that supports the claim that Trump is picking people that are only good looking.
And this is classic.
This is exactly what fake news is.
This is why people are fed up with the media.
This is why they're losing readers, why they're losing page views, why they're losing advertisers, and why they are gaining distrust.
Because this is an out and out juvenile misrepresentation of what Jason Miller said.
Jason Miller's talking about stature.
He's talking about confidence.
He's talking about passion.
He's talking about knowledge.
He's talking about ability in how somebody presents themselves.
The key word here is wallflower.
They don't want anybody that can't explain themselves.
They don't want anybody who's not confident.
They don't want anybody who's not qualified.
And this becomes Trump is such a such a heathen, it's such a striff individual that if he doesn't, if you're not a model, if you're a woman, if you don't look at a model, then Trump's not interested in.
That's what they want people thinking.
This is this is medium ill practice.
And it's much like this story in the Hill.
GOP considers holding off on repealing Obamacare taxes.
We have some ticked-off lobbyists as the source for that.
Not saying it isn't true, but but there isn't any source authority here that backs up the story, and it's designed to make you irritated when there isn't any reason to be irritated yet.
Quite the opposite.
The people that are irritated are the people who should be irritated.
Obama, Michelle, Hillary, Bill, Podesta, the people that should be irritated are.
And they resent that, and they're trying to make you think that you're being sold out, that you've been lied to.
There's not a thing Jason Miller said here that has anything to do with how someone looks.
And then the next paragraph.
Trump reportedly, that word is being bandied about like the word conclusively is.
Trump reportedly ruled out John Bolton for Secretary of State because of his mustache.
The source, the anonymous Trump source, told the Washington Post, yeah, Donald was not gonna like that mustache.
We're really supposed to believe that somebody close to Trump would say something like this.
This is somebody, if this has actually been said, if this stuff actually has been said to somebody, I guarantee you this is somebody that wanted a position with Trump and didn't get it, and their nose is out of joint, and they're running around, yeah, you need like bolt because you like the mustache.
No, this is um it's not gonna end either, folks.
This isn't gonna we we're literally in terms of me, we're prisoners to a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
They're kids, they're really a bunch of juvenile delinquents in these positions.
I have to take a brief time out.
I intended to get a phone call in here, but that didn't work out either.
So I'm gonna keep trying.
You know what I think I can squeeze a phone call in here.
I misread the clock there.
Let's go to Tampa.
Raymond, you're in.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Make it fast, you can make it count.
You're up.
Hey Rush, I've been listening to you for 25 years, Merrick Christmas.
Thank you.
Same to you.
a black Christian independent.
Oh.
And I'm telling you, it has been something else watching the Democrats blaming everybody else for Hillary's loss.
Isn't that amazing?
One person who is truly responsible.
Barack Hossein Obama.
He is the one to be blamed for her loss.
He's the one who created an environment that of anti-Americanism that has been spreading through this country, and people like me and millions like me couldn't take it anymore.
