Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It's a rebob greetings to you, music lovers, thrill speakers.
We've got a mixed minus problem here.
Let me see if I can persevere.
There we go.
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the bountiful fruit and plane, L. Rushbow back at it.
After a couple of weeks away, great to have you with us as always.
I just want to tell you at the outset, folks, there is no way that I'm going to be able to get to everything I want to do today.
There's no way this if the soundbite roster alone, if I played every soundbite, which I'm not going to do it, if I played every soundbite, it would take up the whole program.
I mean, they've been collecting this stuff while I have been gone.
And there is just gods and gods and news.
There's just no way to get it all in today, which probably is the case pretty much every day, which is the reason why you need to be here every day so that you don't miss it.
We're going to give it a good attack here today.
We're going to get a good stab at getting uh a lot of the stuff.
It's amazing how much hasn't changed since I was last here.
I guess the Russians still hack the election.
The Democrats are still, there's no evidence.
There's literally no evidence that they hacked the election.
They might have hacked Fedesta, and they might have revealed the truth about the Democrats.
They didn't hack the election.
I can't believe after two weeks it's still a meme out there.
But it is, and we will uh we will deal with it.
Also, the uh the confirmation hearings begin soon for Trump nominees.
I have a point to make about these people that have been nominated, and I I think it's crucial.
I think it's it's uh well it's not crucial, but the point I want to make is is I think salient and important about these people because the usual stuff is happening.
They're being derided because they're successful, and they're being attacked and vilified because they are wealthy.
And of course, we've got the Globe Golden Globes and Merrill Streep and the special kind of stupid that, you know, I think this is all good, folks.
Everybody's now seeing these people for who they are, and they are able to uh uh look at this and digest it now with a totally different uh mindset and and circumstance.
These are the losers now that are saying all this, not the winners, not the people who've been dominating.
They are the losers, and it's it's just striking.
I listened to people like Merrill Streep and I listen to people like Hugh Laurie, who I just wish they'd shut up.
I don't want to watch their work anymore.
You know, Hugh Laurie is great.
He was great in house, he was great at what is it, uh the night manager.
He was great in a in a Hulu exclusive called Chance.
But I don't want to watch the guy anymore after this.
Because they're stupid.
I mean, Merrill Street actually thinks that Donald Trump's gonna deport Hollywood.
She must literally think that to say what she said.
This is stupid.
And in this business that Trump mocked and made fun of, a special needs or or or not special needs.
Umicapped uh I've got he didn't do that.
I have my own personal experience with this.
I know exactly how the left does this kind of stuff.
So we'll deal with that.
But look a little housekeeping here first uh before we get into the program, because I I need to inform you that we have redesigned Rush Limbaugh.com, and we've been working on it during my absence, particularly the past week.
None of the guest hosts, and by the way, thanks a million to all the guests hosts for giving up their free time and coming in here and hosting the program.
We're so grateful.
I thank them so much.
I wouldn't be able to leave if they weren't able to come in here and accept the 25 grand a day that we pay.
Uh oh, wait, no, that's for something else.
That's that but still it's it's significant.
And I do appreciate them coming in.
We had to do something about Rush Limbaugh.com.
It started to look like the penny saber.
Uh, and you couldn't distinguish the penile extension ads from the content.
And I said, this just cannot go on.
We're gonna have to just stop this.
I mean, I I I really I I don't know what I'm looking at here.
It just got more cluttered and cluttered and cluttered.
So we put a screech.
You know, we've been working on this for a year, folks.
I have to we were supposed to roll this out.
If it had if it tell you what all's involved here, you you wouldn't believe it.
We were gonna roll this out six months ago.
The problem was there is so much content that we have accrued over the years that the migration of all of the data.
I keep saying that Rush Limbaugh.com is an encyclopedia, and then some.
It took months to migrate this.
We used a company in Ukraine, they were attacked by Putin a couple times.
We had to start over three or four times.
Well, I'm only joking about them being attacked by Putin.
I don't know.
I'm just feeling feeling kind of feisty today, folks, in the face of such blatant stupidity surrounding us everywhere.
Yeah, and this election being hacked and uh this other stuff, the Hollywood stuff.
It's just it's made to order.
Anyway, um we have not put a full load test on the new website until right now.
None of the guest hosts mentioned it.
And we've been tweaking it and we've been uh testing it in any number of ways.
But the real test obviously begins now, with all of you being told that the design is new.
And there's some uh some new features that we're gonna be adding to it as uh as well.
So if you visit it, don't be surprised if it spits you out or if it shuts down.
This is this is part of the normal rollout.
We've tried to iron out as many of the bugs as we can.
Uh but it's it's a work in progress, although the vast majority of it's done.
It's just this we put a huge load.
If I mention a website, whatever that website is, a huge load, we shut them down.
Try not to shut down my own site.
Um, as I say, we've tested it for a few days here.
It has not been mentioned on the air.
A bunch of problems have been solved in the past week or so, but a lot of the bugs, and there's always bugs in this kind of thing.
We're still smoothing out some of them.
And there were some glitches that popped up today, uh, for example, as we got ready to roll out.
We're working through them.
It's a work in progress.
Uh so just be patient with us uh while this all gets going.
Now, some of the things at Rushlinbaugh.com I just want to mention.
Hang on just a second, my DirecTV screensavers popped into play in here, and I've got to get them off so I can see what's on the.
I don't know.
We need to change the timing of these screensavers so they never come on.
Available to everyone, both on the free side and the subscriber side, something called just in from Rush.
This is a place right at the top left of the home page where I will be able to post thoughts when I'm off the air.
This will be how other people use Twitter, just in from Rush.
If I, and I'm not promising anything, but if I'm sitting at home or somewhere and watching the news or seeing something that I want to react to, then that's where it will be at Rushlimbod.com on the just in from Rush.
I mean, who needs Twitter?
I have my own website.
And if you want to know what I think about something, if I care enough to update it off hours, meaning when I'm not on the program, that's where it'll be.
There's also the EIB news ticker.
This is where we're gonna update you on uh news about the show and post things for you to see during the show.
Uh when I when I send a link, for example, on the in the program up to Coco, he'll throw it in the ticker, and it'll be there for you in uh in mere moments.
The Ditto Head Wall of Fame, cool photos and quotes from you right on the home page.
We're gonna have a quite serious effort in in audience outreach that we want to incorporate here in the new redesigned Rushlimbod.com.
Some of the new features for members only.
We have a free side and we have the subscriber side.
The revamped rush stack of stuff.
Uh no longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program.
Now you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and uh select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time.
It's going to be more of a real-time-based feature rather than just a generic list of places that I go to prep the show.
This is gonna be more specific to things I got to and intended to get to and didn't get to.
We're gonna make this the real thing, and this is one of the things that is is gonna be a a rollout feature that probably is gonna take some time to get up and running.
Uh If I don't talk about it on the air, you don't need to know about it anyway.
If I don't talk about it, it's not that important for you to know about, so that if you don't see it there, it's it's not a big deal.
There's some other things too that I'll mention over the course of the of the week, but they're the design's gorgeous.
The design is absolutely gorgeous.
As I say, it is it was getting too cluttered, it was getting too blue, it was it was just overwhelming, it was just too crowded.
Uh we didn't really have penile extension ads.
I was just mentioning that.
I mean, who would have known there was so much clutter in there?
Somebody could accused us of it, and we might not have been able to deny it.
Yeah, the banner at the top is pretty now.
A couple other things are going to happen here, folks.
Uh, as you know, I have hobbies.
Keeping up with the latest technology innovation, invention, news, that's a hobby.
And of course, sports.
But the stick to the issues crowd here really resents it when I take time out from bashing the left and telling the truth about the news.
Uh and so we're gonna have an actual tech section.
And the same thing with uh with sports.
And on the tech section, for example, I'm gonna offer with screenshots tips on how to fix things that go wrong with your iPhone or hidden features that you may not know about, uh, how to check battery life, how to get the best battery life, um, all kinds of little things that most users probably don't even know are available on their iPhone or iPad.
And there's going to be a way for you to submit questions.
Don't know how often this is going to be updated, but it's something that I really care about and want to put some time into.
And the same thing on the sports side.
So that's the newest at Rushlimbud.com.
Rolling a new design out today that does have different content algorithms and and all, and as I say, it's gonna be a little spotty here for a week or so.
So if you if it crashes on you or if there are delays, if you think your internet's down, it's not that.
It's just uh an attempt here to make it smooth and iron out the always present bugs.
Now, your phone number hasn't changed.
800 28282.
If you uh want to call and if you want to send an email, the email address is L Rushbo at EIBNet dot US.
The Russian hacking.
I see as I get back, and I for the past two weeks, folks, I was off the grid.
Not for the whole time, but part of getting away is literally getting away.
And it's it's really hard for me because I love this stuff so much.
It's hard to put it aside.
Uh I've always said that this really isn't work, and that if you enjoy your work, it isn't work, and it's gotten much more uh meaning to you in that regard, and you do better at it when it's not considered arduous and something that you have to do.
You get up and can't wait to do it.
Well, I I'd get up and I would purposely not go.
I didn't turn on the TV.
And I spent uh very little time on the computer, but not the whole two weeks.
So the last three or four days I started thinking it's about time to get back up to speed, back in gear, and started reviewing things that had happened in the past two weeks.
And I look at this Russian hacking business, and I see that people are still writing about it, the drive-by media still talking about it, and they're still trying to create the impression that the only reason Hillary lost is because the Russians hacked the election.
It's fake news, it isn't true, it is it is amazing the lifespan.
When you do it every day, you look at it every day, of course it's obvious, but when you take some time out, time goes by, and you come back to some, and you find out that the left of the media are still as intense in pushing a false narrative as they ever were.
It has an even greater impact.
So we've got this intelligence report that came out with all of the highly vaunted intel services.
And it promptly leaked.
And I find the juxtaposition of things here fascinating.
During the Bush administration, George W. Bush, the Democrats despised the intelligence community.
In fact, Frank Church, uh Democrat senator back in the 1970s, hated the CIA, did all kinds of things as a senator to handcuff and to penalize the CIA and to restrict them.
It was incredibly just despised, along with the military, the CIA.
Now all of a sudden the intelligence agencies are infallible.
The intelligence agencies are valued.
The intelligence agencies are some of the best friends the left and the Democrats have ever had.
It's like when I was growing up, the left loved the Soviet Union.
The Democrat Party was in bed with the Soviet Union.
The Democrat Party saw nothing wrong with the Soviet Union.
I mean, it in on balance.
If it came down to a question of a Republican president versus the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would always win.
The Soviet Union would always be given more respect.
And now that's reversed.
Now all of a sudden, the Democrat Party despises Russia, hates Russia, doesn't trust Putin.
And it just illustrates the pure political nature of everything these people do.
They politicize everything.
And as such, it's very difficult to trust anything that you hear or read or see anymore in the in the drive-by media, because it all has a political objective.
And very low down on the priority list is actually informing people.
And so the effort has been made, and even at the intelligence agencies themselves, I mean, these are people populated, these are agencies populated by people that are leftists in some extent, some cases, and they're sympathetic to Obama, and they're doing everything they can to protect Obama's legacy and destroy Trump's.
And they're trying to destroy Trump before he's even been inaugurated.
That hasn't changed either.
So I want to go through some of the details here that I I it's it's astounding to me how this still has a life.
Despite everything that's known about this report, or the composite report from all the intel agencies.
The idea that the Russians tampered with this election is still out there.
And the left is still trying to push it.
And they're still trying to convince people of it.
When there's not a shred of evidence, it didn't happen.
And that's not to say the Russians do not try.
It's not to say the Russians did not involve themselves, and it could well be that the Russians did get into the Democrat National Committee computer and did get into John Podesta's email and did release what they found.
But that didn't, they didn't spread disinformation.
Everything they told us, everything we learned about what was in Podesta's email account happened to be true.
The Russians didn't run a disinformation campaign.
They didn't tamper with voting machines, had nothing to do with the two things when you're dealing with an election that matter.
You got votes.
You cast them and you count them.
And the Russians had nothing to do, and they couldn't have had anything to do with either side of that.
Quick timeout.
We'll come back and we will continue after this.
Don't go away.
So last week, one day last week I'm out on a golf course.
I'm on the back nine on the 14th hole.
My phone starts ringing.
I look at the number.
I don't recognize the number.
It's a 212 number.
So I think it's a wrong number, and I just click decline and move on.
Keeps ringing.
Keeps ringing.
Keep hitting decline.
I don't know the number.
I don't know what he I never answer the phone anyway, can't hear what people are saying on it.
Next thing you know, my email starts going nuts.
It turns out President elect Trump was calling.
And so I get an email.
President elect Trump is trying to reach you.
Here is the callback number.
Could you call back as soon as you can?
And I wrote back and said, well, I'd love to, but I got I've got about Five holes left here.
I'm in the middle of golf course.
Will they be around in an hour and a half?
Mike Pence sends an email.
He really wants to talk to you right now.
So after I teed off on the 14th hole, I told my buddy, take the cart, head on down to the shots, I'll walk up and meet you.
And I uh I returned the call, and I had about a five-minute phone call, and Mike Pence was on the uh on the call with President elect Trump, and it was No, I can't tell you what was said.
I mean it was it was it was No, no, no.
It was fine.
It was fine.
It was very nice.
It was very uplifting.
Uh it was very it was it was fun.
Uh five or six minutes, and uh that was.
I did well, I figured he he would under look, I'm on the golf course.
I'm on the I want to call him back.
I'm gonna he plays golf.
He should understand.
I got five holes to go.
Yes, I did.
I'd rather have a more private setting with maybe a little better cell connection to return the call, and I said, No, you he wants to talk to you right now.
Yes, I did say, can you give me five holes?
What's so big a deal about that?
Greetings and welcome back, L. Rushball back in the saddle here in the cutting edge of societal evolution to get a brand new website design, folks.
And the login, by the way, just to uh in case you're having trouble finding it, upper right hand corner of the page is where the uh login area is.
Same address, Rushlinbaugh.com, just a website redesign.
Uh before we get into the details of the Russian uh the intel report in the Russian, because this I want to try to put this to bed, at least here with you in this audience.
And I want to get some of these sound bites.
Some of the I I did, as you know, I paid no attention, I went off the grid.
It's one of the ways I define getting away from everything.
And I'm stunned here.
Uh Cookie has a bunch of sound bites involving me when I'm not even around.
Um I am surprised by that.
Uh won't say any more, but it does, it it always surprises me.
But some of them are really good in terms of providing excellent opportunity to react to.
The whole soundbite roster today is good.
But I want to talk about the upcoming confirmation hearings for members of Trump's cabinet.
Because I think there's something about this that needs to be said.
And it's not politics.
We all know the politics of this.
We all know what the Democrats are going to do.
They've said so.
Chuck Schumer and his gang in the Senate are cr are going to try to delay the confirmation of as many of these nominees as they can.
They're going to try to destroy Jeff Sessions again as a racist.
All of this is going to blow up in their face because they don't have the votes to stop these people, and they've got a filibuster problem of their own making.
But they still have to fundraise, and they still have to satisfy these looney tunes that send the money.
People like Meryl Streep and Hugh Laurie.
I mean the genuine new kind of stupid that they have to pander to in order to get those idiots to write them checks.
And so, but not that they're not going to be serious about it.
I mean, they're sure they would love to destroy Sessions.
I'm sure they'd love to destroy Rex Tillerson.
And that's the point.
The Democrats are not just going to oppose, they're going to try to destroy these people.
Now, if you look at the way I think it's always interesting and useful to go back and compare.
When Obama was elected in 2008 and began to announce his cabinet.
If you go back to January of 2009, there were just 41 Republicans in the Senate.
And so they couldn't stop anything.
They couldn't stop a single piece of legislation.
They could not stop a single nominee from being confirmed.
Forty-one votes.
No hope of getting anywhere near 51 or 60 or 61.
And that number 41 was a little misleading because the Democrat number kept expanding.
Arlan Spector, if you'll recall, switched to the Democrat Party at the end of April in 2009.
I mean, he was reading the tea leaves, and he said, well, I guess the end of my party, so we joined with the Democrats.
Al Franken's fraudulent election was not settled until the end of June.
So they added a couple people as the year went on.
Now let's look at some of Obama's nominees and how they were treated.
Hillary Clinton was nominated Secretary of State.
She got 94 votes.
94 votes in favor, two against her.
Eric Holder, I'll never forget this.
Eric Holder's nominated as attorney general, and what did the Republicans do?
A number of conservative think tank intellectuals and elected Republicans started singing the praises of Eric Holder.
What is this?
The guy is straight out of the extreme left.
Well, we thought we could show them we're not really bad people.
We'll come out and we'll show support for Holder, plus he black.
We have to support him, so they don't think we're racist.
So Eric Holder ended up getting 75 votes, 21 against.
Kathleen Sibelius, another genuine mental midget, overqualified, unqualified to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, she got 65 votes.
Tim Geifner, who cheated on his taxes, was confirmed as the Treasury Secretary.
He got 60 votes.
There were 34 votes opposed to him.
It would have been more if it had not been learned that he cheated on his taxes.
What was there?
Something happened when I was gone.
We found out a bunch of left.
Oh, half the staff.
Did you see this, Mr. Snerdley?
Something like 80% of the on-air staff at MSNBC had tax liens against them.
70% of the people, maybe more, who work at MSNBC were behind delinquent in their taxes, and these are the people up there demanding the rich are not paying their fair share, demanding taxes be increased on everybody, and we find out they weren't paying, and the IRS had liens on them.
Well, Geitner had cheated on his taxes, and he blamed it on not knowing how to do turbo tax, and yet this was the guy who's going to be the Treasury Secretary.
But here's the thing.
The Senate confirmed seven Obama nominees the day he was inaugurated.
How many of you, when you hear that, didn't even know that the Senate and House are in session that day?
I mean, most people think inauguration day is a party day, it's a celebration day.
You have the inaugural ceremony, you have the parade, president go back to the White House, the case of the Clintons, they invited everybody in, Clinton scouting out chicks, invited everybody in for an open house at the White House, and they go to the White House balls, the inaugural balls, and everybody gets to work the next day.
But the Senate confirmed seven Obama nominees the day Obama was inaugurated, and they confirmed another five within the first week that Obama was in office.
Thirteen of these were confirmed via voice vote without any recorded opposition.
Now, again, it's important to note that the Republicans couldn't have stopped anything.
They only had 41 votes or 40, so they couldn't have stopped anything.
But they didn't even use the occasion to speak out against any of these nominees.
Remember now, Obama had just skunked McCain, and the Republicans are quivering in fear.
They are cowering in the corner.
They are scared to death.
They think it's the end of their party.
McCain's just been defeated.
First African American president's been elected.
You can't criticize the guy.
Then they had to deal with the fact that I was out there saying I hope he fails.
And that did that made him uncomfortable.
Even though everybody knew what I meant.
So the Republicans were self-paralyzed.
They didn't even make an effort to state opposition to these people on the basis of principle, on the basis of belief, ideology or any of the sort.
It was Obama got his blank check and he got it for the most part on inauguration day.
I just mentioned that because the Democrats today are got are not going to do anything of the sort.
Not that I think they should.
That's not my point.
I'm not thinking that there should be tit for tat.
I'm trying to point out the differences in the two parties.
And that is, I think the more people that see this now the better.
The Democrats are not just going to oppose, they're going to try to destroy.
Now look at Trump's nominees.
Let's move on to this.
I think Trump's cabinet, and I've talked to a lot of people who were opposed to Trump or who were scared to death of Trump.
People on our side of the aisle, for the most part Republican or conservative, but they were, you know, they fell prey to whatever nattering negativism that there was in the media that Trump's unqualified, Trump's boar, Trump's course, Trump's this and that.
They were made nervous.
But when Trump got around to appointing his cabinet, they're like hallelujah.
They love these people.
A lot of people, and I think that that is warranted.
I think it's just a fantastic people.
There's not a one of them that needs the job.
There's not a one of these people that needs the power.
There's not a one of these people that needs this job to parlay it into something better in the private sector.
These people, for the vast majority of them, that Trump has nominated to his cabinet are the epitome of success.
They have achieved some of the greatest success known in this country and that is being held against them.
That is going to be held against them by the Democrats who are going to try to point out that well that's that they don't know America.
Why how can you have all these rich people in there?
They have no idea what life was like and it's the Democrat Party that doesn't know what life is like in America.
It's a Democrat Party that's disconnected.
It's the Democrat Party that needs visas whenever they want to drop in on a Midwestern state.
It's the Democrat Party and their allies in the media they are the ones disconnected who do not know this country to this moment to this day they are still mocking and making fun of the people that elected Trump.
They are still cast together in their little elite enclaves and smearing and sneering and condescending with contempt anybody who's not they are the ones that don't know America.
They are the ones Obama's cabinet not a single one of them had ever held a job in the private sector they were all theoreticians, think tank, academics, you name it, not a one of them really knew America.
They all resented America they all despised America for the same reasons that most leftists do.
And by the way I've uh I've stumbled across actual evidence now to prove a contention of mine that these people on the left do not never have think this country's great never have thought it is think it's racist sexist every cliche I've ever used I actually found a liberal writer in Slate or Solana forget which who actually wrote a piece on it confirming everything that I know about these people.
On the other hand, Trump has nominated people who are great.
They have achieved success.
They have worked for it.
They have earned it.
This Trump cabinet, these confirmation hearings, my friends, it's an opportunity to herald the greatness of America.
It's an opportunity to herald what's possible.
So...
in the United States of America.
It is an opportunity to admire aspiration again.
It's an opportunity to promote the aspirational.
I am worn out and sick and tired of being told that we are a nation in decline, that we've got to learn to do it less.
The left, primarily in the environmental movement, have done more to retard progress and to make life harder in this country than you would ever believe.
And you find the evidence all over your house, from your dishwasher to your shower to...
things you use to wash your clothes the left is just screwed up so much and they have this idea that anybody who's successful is not to be trusted that somehow they've gamed the system Or that they've had an unfair break, an unfair shot, that they have had an advantage, and other people don't have it.
Instead, we need to get failures.
We need to get thinkers.
We need to get intellectuals.
We need to get people that have not become successful.
So they can relate to most Americans.
And so we've stopped being aspirational.
And it's time to bring aspiration back.
And if you don't know what I mean by that, the root word is aspire.
Aspire to be better than you are.
Aspire to be great.
Aspire to live your dreams, aspire to experience them, aspire to live your dreams without being mocked and made fun of.
And there's an opportunity here in this series of confirmation hearings for this to happen.
I have a little bit more to say on this as an explanation, but I have to take a brief time out.
We'll do that and come back right after this.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to get to Obamacare, too.
That's what I say.
Can't do it all here in the first hour.
I may not be able to do it all on this program, but the Republicans are about to fall into a trap on this that's so unnecessary.
You just repeal it.
Anyway, I'll save that for later.
Just one other one other thought here on the on the Trump cabinet, these upsuming uh confirmation hearings.
You know, one of the constant refrains of conventional wisdom laments the proposition that good people don't go into government.
How many times have you heard that?
You know, we just don't get good people.
And you hear all kinds of reasons for it.
One of the reasons is that they all get a media aidal exam.
And they don't want to put up with it.
Their families and everybody just come under the microscope, they know what and they have to get the pay cut.
So the liberals are constantly wringing their hands that we just don't get good people to go into government.
Except liberals, of course.
They're good people.
Well, here we have in the list of Trump nominees coming up for confirmation.
We have a stellar lineup of people who neither want or need anything from government, including power.
They've already got it.
This is so important.
They have acquired their wealth.
They have become successful.
They have whatever power they desire.
They are not taking the job for more.
They're not taking the job for money.
They're not taking the job for leverage.
And contrary to what the predictable allegations are for the left, they're not taking the job to help grease the skids in their own industries.
They've already got that taken care of.
These are the pinnacles of success in their respective fields.
They don't need the government.
They don't need the power and they don't need the money.
And they are going to sacrifice mightily for their country and their ideas.
And this is the way this needs to be portrayed.
It's the way it needs to be understood and looked at.
And they're going to get pillaried in the process.
These people who don't need this.
They don't need the power.
They don't need the position.
They don't need the money.
They don't need the resume.
They don't need this.
They're doing this because they've been asked.
They're doing this.
I know some of them.
They genuinely care.
They're just like you and me, folks.
Many of them think we're about to lose the country.
Many of them think that we've got one chance here to save it.
And they are going to do this as their contribution to it because they've been asked.
And in the process, they are role models.
They're the exact kind of people that we need to be holding up and others aspiring to.
And that's what I mean about them being aspirational.
And you realize what a narrow plank I'm on saying this.
Because if you look at the Democrat Party's enemy list, it's corporations, it's CEOs, it's anybody who is successful that does not donate to them.
Anybody successful doesn't contribute to them or doesn't vote for them.
And they have tried to do their best to destroy the industries these people run and these people personally.
And here I am essentially endorsing these people conceptually.
I'm endorsing their selection and I'm holding them out as role models.
When the left thinks that role models, well, these are the last people that should be role models, uh, you know, people that have overcome, these people have overcome.
We don't know what they've overcome to become who they are.
The left tries to tell you these people were born on third base and hit a grand slam home run.
They try to tell you everything they've had came easy, through the government, through their families, or what have you.
And I think this is a golden opportunity to reverse the way we look at success, to reverse the way we look at successful people, and have these kinds of people themselves become role models and use to aspire others to seek their own greatness and excellence.
Back after this, folks, don't go away.
I cannot tell you, my friends, how great it is to be back.
Great to be back here with you.
First hours in the case cannot believe how quickly it went by.
But there are two left.
And as you know, we make the most of every busy broadcast moment.
So we will continue right after this when we get back.
