1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Well, here we go, folks game on same old, same old, 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: same formulas. So the bad guys put out a book 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: that excoriates, impunes, defames the president. The drive by media 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: pick it all up and promote it, try to make 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: it look like everybody in the country agrees with it. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: And we have to come in here and once again 7 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: unpack it all and tell people what's actually true and 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: what's really going on. And the cycle just keeps repeating. 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: It's become a formula, it's become predictable. Bad guys write 10 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: a book, bad guys go on TV, drive by, circle 11 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: the wagons, amplify, lie, distort whatever. We've got to spend 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: all of our time defending the garbage all in us 13 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: posed battle for the hearts and minds of the American voter. 14 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: And so we're here and that's what's on the agenda. 15 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: It's great to have you with us. Open Line Friday, 16 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: we go to the phones. Anything you want to talk about, 17 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: have at it telepone number eight hundred to eight to 18 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: eight to the email address ll rushbo at eib net 19 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: dot com. If you note that I sound somewhat frustrated, 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: you would not be incorrect, because none of this is 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: news where all of us are caught up in the 22 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: middle of never ending political agendas. Uh, but it's disguised 23 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: as news. We're being told that this is news, this 24 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: is earth shattering breaking news. Why we had no idea 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: this was coming. And that's not at all what any 26 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: of this is. This is all prepackaged, and it's pre planned. 27 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: It's been edited and formatted, and it's been timed. It 28 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: has everything about it designed to move forward a political agenda. 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: But everybody involved in that's like, no, no, there's nothing 30 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: going on here. We just have an honorable guy who's very, 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: very worried about the country and wants to set the records. 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: If he wants set the records, right, why did he 33 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: wait a year and do it for millions of dollars 34 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: if he cares so damn much about this? Anyway, yesterday, 35 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,559 Speaker 1: my friends, I spoke about the concept of two Americas, 36 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: at least two America's, and I want to illustrate exactly 37 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about here, if you'll pardon me for 38 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: just to if you'll indulge me here for just a 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: moment again, to restated on one side. Here, we have 40 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: the country and the people who make it work and 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: the way they live their lives. They get up every 42 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: day and they go about their business, and in the process, 43 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: the country works using the freedoms and the liberty, the 44 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: ambition of talent, the desire, whatever it is that makes 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: up people would ever it is that makes everybody who 46 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: we are. Everybody gets up and goes to it. On 47 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: the other side, we have the drive by media and 48 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: the American left, which is engaged in a single project 49 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: of tearing the other America down and tearing it apart, 50 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: all because they don't like American all because they don't 51 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: like the people who are making the country work from 52 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: top to bottom, and so there's is a never ending 53 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: quest to tear it down. They tear it down, or 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: try to tear it down by depressing and dispiriting the 55 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: people who are getting up and going to work or 56 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: whatever it is they're doing that constitutes actual living life 57 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: as opposed to the other side. Yeah, they're alive, but 58 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: they're not living life. They are people absorbed and drenched 59 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: in hatred and resentment, anger and outrage, and they're taking 60 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: the fact that they're outraged and unhappy and miserable out 61 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: on everybody else, and in the process one half of 62 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: America spends its day making the country work and trying 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: to defend it. The other half is just trying to 64 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: tear everything apart. And last night I was with the 65 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: half of America, or whatever percentage it is, it makes 66 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: the country work. Last night was the annual dinner for 67 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, the annual fundraising dinner. 68 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: M cleff is twenty three years old. I was there 69 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: in the home of one of the founders as the 70 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: whole idea was being put together. In three It was 71 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: a home in Rockville Center in New York, and it 72 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: was a number of Great X Marines, some now in 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: aw enforcement, somewhere in finance, and they wanted to put 74 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: together a foundation which would provide college scholarships for the 75 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: children of Marines killed in action. They later added law 76 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: enforcement to it, and many of them worked in the FBI. 77 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Many of them worked in law enforcement police departments elsewhere, 78 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: And so what was originally a charity to provide college 79 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: scholarships for the children of Marines killed in action was 80 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: expanded to include children of people in law enforcement and 81 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: on extreme emergencies. Night nine eleven, m cleft expanded to 82 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: all federal agencies were heads of families died and their 83 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: children needed college scholarships, they became an early donor. I've 84 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: i've I've never been an active practical participant in the 85 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: actual structure to charity, but Cather and I have been 86 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: active Downer as an active fundraiserism. As you well know, 87 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: much of what we do is tied to mcleff.

I told him that we've 175 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: got a serious challenge, that we've got a great nation 176 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: at risk in a dangerous world. And I talked about 177 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: this divide, and I talked about you've heard me to 178 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: the theory that I don't think we have any advind 179 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: us together anymore like we had in World War Two. 180 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: This guy stood up after I had finished. There were 181 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: some other comments, and he referenced it not by me 182 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: and by name, but he said, look, we just tell 183 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: them we were in a uniform here in this room tonight. 184 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Don't worry we got it. We got it, just like 185 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: the NYPD, they got it, just like the Port Authority 186 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: cup they got it. Don't worry, we got it. We 187 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: stay in our lane. It doesn't matter who's running the show. 188 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: We know what we gotta do, and we got it. 189 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: And that's why we couldn't get along without those people 190 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: in that room. And those people in that room last 191 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: night are among those who get ripped and lampooned and 192 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: impuned by these other guys that we have to spend 193 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of time chatting about here today, as though 194 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: what they think matters, as though what they say or 195 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: right is gospel. So we have spend time exposing who 196 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: they are and exposing the lies or the misrepresentations, the 197 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: deceit that they're using you this repeating formula of left 198 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: on the assault against the country, and a few of 199 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: us here on the right standing up trying to say 200 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: no and stop them and defend it. But it was 201 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: the people in the room last night, the Marine Corps 202 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: Law Enforcement Foundation, not just the uniform Marines, but the 203 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: people that were there as donors and who show up 204 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: every year. It was a microcosm of what I believe 205 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: is people who make the country work, make the country run, 206 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: and it was it was an honor for me to 207 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: be part of it. It was distinct privilege to be 208 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: asked to speak in that room. I always think I'd 209 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: bomb it too. I mean, I always think I didn't 210 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: do nearly as good as I could have when that 211 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: I've fretted over and all the way home last night. 212 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: But then I realized I would have today to fix 213 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: any not infny wrong. Just just you know, I'm so 214 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: hyper critical that I never, ever, never ever, I rarely 215 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: tell myself I nailed it. But the crowd was was 216 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: up and supportive. It was just it was it was 217 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: a great room to be in and a tremendous event 218 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: to to be part of.
