Ladies and gentlemen, even my own staff challenges me. When I issue edicts, commands, orders, ideas, you would think that there would be overwhelming blanket acquiescence, approval, and support.
I think it’s Greek Orthodox – who totally believes in the pope, not anything about attacking the United States, which needs to be because we’re not recognizing the dignity of all people.
The establishment isn’t new. The establishment not wanting outsiders, not wanting conservatives, isn’t anything new.
I’m like anybody else that’s in media. I’ve got my opinions. I share them. I’m not afraid of them.
I would feel much the way I feel when anybody is elected. You deal with what you end up getting.
Republican primary voters, whether they’re close primaries or open, are voting for anybody but candidates attached to the Republican establishment.
That’s why they’re in the problem – having the problem they’re having. They’re not conservative. They’re being run by their donors.
When I hear Governor Mitt Romney in his speech talk about how the Republican Party must stand for legitimate conservative values. They don’t.
I’m amazed at the Democrats and the media who do not know what’s going on in my world. I know what’s going on in theirs. I study ’em. I watch ’em every day.
If people are speaking about something passionately and if they have a level of intelligence about it and if they’re sufficiently informed, it’s going to be like a magnet to people.
The media uses polls to create news stories. I think polls are just an extension of the editorial page, an excuse to get them on the front page. You can ask any question you want, get any answer you want, and then run around with that as a news story.
Most of my critics don’t even listen to me; they are clueless. They just go to Web sites that report what I say out of context.
And one of the things that makes me happiest and proudest is that the talk radio venue, the whole market has expanded. There are all kinds of people doing it.
I have a practice of really not talking about the competition. I’m from the old school.
My family is all lawyers. Most people when they come on shows like this, “I’m proud of the first member of my family to get a college education.”
I don’t think looking at things through the prism of fear is going to accomplish anything.
The danger with mentioning names is that you hurt the feelings of people that you leave out.
I want the largest audience I can get, because that’s how I can charge the highest advertising rate. Which means what else do I want? Money. I am trying to earn a profit. It’s capitalism.
Psychologically, when I sit down at noon, I’m it. I’m the only thing on. Nobody else does what I do. Nobody else has the opportunity. That’s the psychological mindset. It’s not an ego thing; it’s just the way I’ve always approached it.
It is freedom that allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
Each of us can be fearless and strong like this rock when we know, without a doubt, where we belong and what we should do. God helps us to know these things.
