Breitbart News has leaked something today. Headline: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2017\/03\/13\/ryan-dumps-trump-in-new-leaked-audio.html\">Breitbart Leaks Audio of Paul Ryan Dumping on Donald Trump.<\/a>&#8221; Now, this was during a conference call with Republican members in the House, Paul Ryan on October 10th of 2016. So what\u2019s this, three weeks before the election? He\u2019s talking about Trump. Now, the Breitbart story said&#8230; Hang on for the audio. It\u2019s coming up. It\u2019s only 16 seconds, so we\u2019ll squeeze it in here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A previously unreleased audio recording of House speaker Paul Ryan telling Republican congressional representatives he would never again defend the party\u2019s presidential nominee was published by Breitbart News last night, the latest salvo in the war between the beleaguered speaker and the far-right news outlets sparked by the introduction of the American health care&#8230;&#8221; This is a Daily Beast story, not Breitbart. They released the tape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The audio was recorded during a conference call between Ryan and Republican members October 10, 2016. It was three days after a decades old video surfaced showing then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women.&#8221; I guess this was the Access Hollywood video. So it\u2019s three days after that video\u2019s been released and in the recording Ryan is heard telling his party members he would not defend Trump then or in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-225373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RYANTRUMP.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RYANTRUMP.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RYANTRUMP-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>RYAN: I am not going to defend Trump.

Here\u2019s a question you have to ask&#8230; On October 16th, remember now, everybody thought Trump\u2019s gonna lose then. Everybody. I don\u2019t think that changes the long-term meaning.
