Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You see those exit polls out of Wisconsin last night.
Even the stupid vote starting to move toward Obama.
I mean, the trends, the trends here, away from Mrs. Clinton, are uh striking.
And a lot of people out there are saying it's over.
And it's over.
I'm not sure.
You know, we thought this about New Hampshire, too.
I didn't get away till Texas comes in before you say it's over, but it is time to start asking what will Hillary and Bill do next.
What are they gonna do?
And you're at the right place to find out, because nobody knows these people better than I do.
Greetings, my friends.
It's great to have you here on the EIB network, L Rushbow at 1-800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Warning folks, I'm on a really irritable mood today.
Everything's fine.
There's one of these days I'm bumping to things that aren't there.
I'm tripping over cardboard boxes when I try to get up from the from the desk.
I uh I'm I'm getting irritated.
All the mouse clicks I have to make to complete functions in my computer.
Just I got I'm gonna get a handle on this, but I just want you to know.
Again, 800-282-2882.
The email address is rush at EIB Net.
Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
Uh the uh Democrat vote obviously is uh the most interesting here from what happened yesterday, Wisconsin, so let's start there.
Uh first thing, but before anybody you know, you know, burst any bubbles out there, the uh the vote last night was almost exactly as predicted by the by the polls.
Um it looks like let's let's let's assume that the people are saying it's over and that Obama's gonna be the nominee.
Let's take that uh and run with it just for the sake of discussion.
It's it's it's I think it'll be pretty clear cut here.
We're gonna have a hardcore radical leftist in Barack Obama who is even more brazen in his views than George McGovern.
Now, last night he did his usual vapor, you know, the the the vapid, the nothing speech, but he also He got very specific on economics last night, folks, and it's not pretty.
And it is as bad as anything Mrs. Clinton is talking about.
So we're gonna have a brazen hardcore radical, uh, probably to the left of George McGovern versus a progressive hawk in uh in John McCain.
And by progressive, of course, I mean uh a liberal on many major domestic agenda matters.
Here's the problem for Hillary.
The problem for Hillary is this 50% of the country cannot stand her.
That includes an awful lot of people in her own party.
Obama offers them an alternative, and that's a simple alternative.
Um what we have here now is the equivalent of a prison break on the Democrat side, because you got a lot of people who felt obligated to support Hillary for a number of reasons, who are now freed from that prison of obligation.
So you got you've got a prison break going on on the Democrat side.
Now, what is Hillary going to do?
You know, everybody's asked, what's Huckabee gonna do?
There are any number of things that Mrs. Clinton could do now.
Let's let's go through a list of some of these things.
Uh does she have the vision and the experience to recognize that it's over?
Or will she play off the string much like Huckabee?
Is she capable of losing gracefully like Romney and planning for her future ambitions?
No, I don't think there's no future ambition, right?
This is it.
I mean, a whole kitten caboodle is ramped up in this election.
Number three, will she and her husband tear the Democratic Party apart and blow up the convention hall in Denver with every loophole and bomb and court brief at their command in order to secure this?
Yeah, possibly so.
Uh will they ask for something huge in order to get out, such as demand a Democrats build a new bridge over the Potomac, a toll bridge, with all the revenue going to Bill's massage parlor in Little Rock.
I mean, they could ask uh for something for something huge here.
Uh all these Democrats thought that they would have to vote for Hillary, that she was inevitable, but now she's not only vulnerable, Hillary Clinton is flat on her back now.
Now, I don't know what they're doing behind the scenes.
Uh They're gonna see how it goes in Texas and Ohio.
And if they lose Texas and Ohio, there's really nothing they can pull to save themselves other than going bonkers at the convention.
Now, one thing that we have found out this morning that they are doing, ABC News has learned that a group of Democrat politicos have set up a new 527 called the American Leadership Project with the express purpose of helping Hillary beat Obama in Ohio and possibly Texas and Pennsylvania as well.
Free from campaign finance rules.
Thank you, Senator McCain.
Free from campaign finance rules, American leadership project, the 527 will not be legally permitted to coordinate with the Clinton campaign.
So what?
They won't, but it's clearly intended to help her.
The group is targeting uh through TV ads, mail phone communications, white women under 50 in the Ohio area, specifically Cleveland, Columbus, Youngstown, Charleston, West Virginia, Wheeling Steubenville, Zanesville, and Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Uh white men also going to be a focus.
And if there are any excess funds, Latinos in Texas, middle class families in Pennsylvania will also be targeted.
Our purpose here is to encourage audiences to look beyond the campaign speeches, the political rhetoric to specific proposals to address these core issues, uh, says the American leadership project mission statement.
So I guess what we can infer from this, uh, ladies and gentlemen, is that the um existing 527s and all the other Clinton front groups, from Media Matters for America to uh what is it?
Uh uh that pedesta play.
There's so many of them.
What?
Move on.org.
Well, I'm not sure move on.org.
I don't know where their loyalties are lying right now, but yeah, that's one.
Um the Americans coming together, and then there's the thing Podesta runs, uh Center for American Progress, Think Last Project, or what I don't know what it is, but they've all these different things out there have failed in this cycle.
So they've set up a new one here specifically for Ohio and uh maybe Texas and Pennsylvania.
Um, something else that she might try to do.
Uh uh look at these are the Clintons.
You don't put anything past uh them what you when you're talking the kind of ambition and plans that they have.
She may send out feelers, and this is gonna happen after Texas, or it may not happen till the convention, but she she might send out uh feelers try to become vice president.
You know, this was unthinkable just months ago, just weeks ago.
Hillary is uh on the ticket.
But if that's the last option she has to get to the Oval Office, don't rule it out, folks.
Remember, we are talking about the Clintons.
She could, I'm just giving you a list of possibilities here.
She could try to become the VEP.
Then if Obama wins, work to undermine him and eventually quietly seek his impeachment.
I mean, who knows?
What we do know is that it's going to continue to be all about her and Bill.
Now, if the Democrats were smart and they're not, uh, they will use all of this to cleanse themselves of the Clintons.
They have that opportunity.
If they really want to get, you know, it's talking about moving forward and so forth, they really want to do that.
This is a great opportunity for them to just wash the Clintons right out of the party.
Uh the Clintons have had uh, you know, uh vice grips hold on this party since 1992.
And it is clear this party, the people of the voters in this party are rejecting them.
Now, the uh but but the but the the problem is the Democrat machine is the Clintons.
So they've got a uh Democrats, you know, have some serious questions to ask themselves amidst all this euphoria uh that they think they're feeling and and that That is uh that is genuine.
Now, on the Republican side, folks, it is not as clear.
Uh Senator McCain not piling up massive majorities over Governor Huckabee, even though the voters know that uh did Huckabee is uh no longer a serious candidate.
In fact, grab grab audio soundbite number one.
I mean, that's they're still exit polling me.
The exit polled me in Wisconsin last night.
This is the Fox News channel.
Meghan Kelly said this.
How about conservative talk radio?
Folks like Rush Limbaugh, they continue to rail against John McCain.
Is it actually having an impact in Wisconsin?
Twenty-nine percent of the voters in the GOP primary there say they listen to conservative talk radio frequently.
And those folks are voting for John McCain.
Fifty-six percent to Huckabee's 32.
All right.
So the drive-by's are using their exit poll data and their question here to claim that McCain has won over the conservatives.
Uh in and this is this is this is the first time in the primary process for th that this kind of margin for McCain among conservatives has existed, and it coincides with the fact that Huckabee is for all intents and purposes toast.
Um race is over, essentially.
The turnout is uh very small.
Uh so it it it really is not all that uh meaningful.
By the way, uh uh she said here that that I continue to rail against McCain.
Have I been railing against McCain?
I haven't.
These uh these three people need to keep up here.
You know, this program moves fast.
You know, we don't talk about what happened yesterday for four days.
We talk about what's happening now.
I am the candidate of right now.
And we talk about the future.
And uh uh we we're always moving forward on this program.
We look back to do C I told you so's in order to establish what we said yesterday that came true today, what we said last week that came true today.
Uh but regardless.
Um Senator McCain not piling up massive majorities over Huckabee, even though Huckabee is no longer in the race.
Uh well, he's not a serious candidate anyway, cannot win the nomination.
Uh and I you know I I uh it it appears to me, it seems that what Senator McCain has decided to do is forswear uh conservatives, if he must, and go after blue state voters.
I mean, those are the voters who helped secure him the nomination in the first place, so those are the voters that he feels uh loyal to.
One thing, you know, the I I was talking uh uh I think it was last week.
Remember when the FISA bill came up in the Senate and uh McCain went and voted for the new restrictions and the immunity for the telecommunications companies.
Then uh uh uh made the point that neither Obama well, Obama showed up and voted against it.
Hillary didn't show up.
This is a golden opportunity.
This is a golden opportunity for McCain to drive home the point that he's the national security guy, and they're not.
We finally found Andy McCarthy, National Review Online found out why.
When the whole thing was originally proposed, McCain sided with the Democrats on it.
So he's vulnerable to being the charged with a hypocrite if he I mean his vote's one thing, but if he goes out and makes a big deal about how these people, uh Obama and Hillary are not taking security seriously enough in this FISA situation.
Uh they can go back to uh to Fox News story from 2006.
To uh to find where McCain was pretty close to them, at least on the same page.
Look, they have a brief time out here.
Lots more coming up on the program today.
Looking forward to talking to you as well.
Sit tight back before you know it.
Ha!
How are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limboy.
You're guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, despair, hopelessness, and all that other crud, plus even the good times.
From the heavily uh secured subterranean depths of the EIB Southern command.
By the way, this is all starting to break as I thought it would.
It's all starting to break out as I told you would.
Uh last night, Letterman stands up in his monologue.
Here, rat tat tat tat tat six jokes about McCain and his age.
He's the guy that you first see when you walk into Walmart.
Uh, for example, I mean just it is this it's starting.
And I knew it was going to start, and I told you it's going to start.
If you look at some of the national polls, uh folks, it is not pretty out there.
Obama is it's sweeping.
It's I don't even want to it uh I I don't even want to describe for you how bad these polls are right and it's not I mean it's not even March yet and anything can change.
I mean the general election campaign hadn't even begun, but uh and by the this this this cult like personality people have uh uh uh or attachment that people have to Obama cannot emotionally sustain itself from now through November.
It can it can die out and be revived again at the convention and get a new life if it dies out soon enough here, uh soon enough by you know after Texas and Ohio.
Um last night his acceptance speech was more like a State of the Union speech in in content and length.
It went on and on and on, and when he started, every network dumped Mrs. Clinton.
It just like that.
So what what can McCain do here?
Well, the key for Senator McCain will be to try to get to Obama's substance, such as it is, uh, and his ideological radicalism.
And that'll mean separating Obama from the public personality that he's manufactured for himself.
Now, Hillary couldn't attack Obama from the left, because they're as far left as each other, and so it's it would be difficult for her to do that, but McCain can, at least on some issues, uh, attack Obama from the right, attacking his uh his extreme liberal ideology.
Now, Obama, when that happens, Obama's gonna hit him back not only with the usual liberal compassion rhetoric, but uh Obama will remind McCain of his own dances with the liberals.
Yes, you've got to understand what's going to happen here.
McCain's gonna have to hit Obama on extreme liberalism.
And when that happens, Obama's gonna say, well, you know, I I remember Senator McCain, um uh you joining several of us uh several times on several votes in the uh in the Senate.
Uh now, despite that, and that's gonna happen.
But despite that, McCain will have some issues where he can still stand against hard left domestic policies, including, and this will be a big one, including health care.
Uh but it's going to be much harder for McCain to separate himself from the radical ideological leftism, uh, liberalism of Obama than it would been for Romney or Thompson, because uh class warfare rhetoric is out of the liberal playbook, his attacks on drug companies, his support for the reimportation of drugs.
But uh somehow on uh on issue after issue, McCain's gonna have to resort to conservative policies and arguments to undress Obama's left-wing radicalism if McCain has any hope of winning.
He's this is the point.
When you have such a such an uh extreme ideological liberal running, and that's what Obama is and Hillary is too.
You don't counter that by being less liberal, less ideological, and more moderate than they are.
You counter that with down the middle conservatism.
That's the only way you can compare and contrast, which is what McCain is going to have to do.
And when he does, I just want to warn you Obama and his people are going to be able to say, but Senator, you were with us on several of these things.
Have you changed your mind now?
Just get ready for this, folks.
This is um one of those things that's that's uh it's headed down the uh headed down the pike.
So um I I'm just I I look at this uh and and I uh it's hard to know if Mrs. Clinton is genuinely out of this yet.
But I'll tell you these exit poll numbers out of Wisconsin last night.
One thing interesting about them is this.
The base of the Democratic Party seems to be as split in the primaries as the Republican Party is.
Uh Obama won women 5149.
Now that's a split.
And the the interesting thing about women, white females, uh in s in primary states through February 18th, the Clinton margin of victory was 21% in white females.
In Wisconsin, her margin of victory among white females was eight.
That's a net difference.
She's lost 13 points.
She's trending in the wrong way.
She's losing a lot of things, and that's why these numbers are getting closer here.
Um Obama won all age groups under 65.
He won All education levels, including the dumb, uh, which she was able to make a claim to.
He won all religions of the state of Wisconsin, urban or all regions, I'm sorry, urban, suburban, and rural.
He won voters without college degrees, 50 to 48.
He won among Democrats 50 to 49.
He won among whites 53 to 46, white men 59 to 38, voters who decided in the last week 58 to 42, one or tied voters of all income levels, tied among white women, tied among union members, tied among union households.
And as I say, these these uh these these exit numbers by themselves are striking.
Uh, but the trend, Mrs. Clinton used to have huge advantages in a number of these categories, and has uh has lost them.
All right, brief time out, folks, sit tight.
Uh audio sound bites out the wazoo today, plus your phone calls all straight ahead.
Screams of joy or panic at the very mention of my name, Rush Limboy meeting vocal vibrations.
Coast to coast on the one and only excellence in broadcasting network.
By the way, I left out a category on the uh Wisconsin Exit Poll data.
Hillary Clinton did win one group, the second generation transgendered amputees.
She's always done well with that group, and she sewed them up uh once again last night.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Lawrence Eagleberger, former undersecretary of state, uh assistant to uh Dr. Kissinger, uh, was on uh uh DNC TV last night.
Uh uh Eagleberger is now NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, uh, was talking to him last night.
So, what do you say to the conservatives who are really going after John McCain, saying he's not right wing enough?
I don't know who elected Rush Limbaugh or Hannity as the heads of this conservative movement.
They throw that word around as if it were theirs and theirs alone.
I thought I was a conservative, but that doesn't mean that I have to buy off on everything that these poo bars think that is what's necessary to be a conservative.
And in the end, from their point of view, at least, and certainly from mine, national security has to be a major consideration.
And how they can walk away from a McCain when they know perfectly well he is the only one of all of these candidates that has an experience in terms of national security.
They bogged my mind in terms of what it is they think they're doing.
The whole thing is so confusing to me and so illogical that I cannot understand what they have in their minds.
We're trying to win.
We're trying to win, we're trying to avoid a 50 state landslide, Dr. Eagleberger.
We are trying to win.
What good is having a national security candidate if he's not gonna win?
By the way, who elected Lawrence Eagleberger?
I've always had profound respect for this guy.
What how many what it's like, you know, the uh Hitler once said of the Pope, how many divisions does he have?
Well, Mr. Eagleberger, uh how what size is your audience?
You're you're working where PMS NBC boggles his mind in terms of what it is we think we are doing.
We've always wanted to win.
We don't have a death wish.
Another CI told you, so moving right along here.
This is what I said two days ago on this very program.
I don't think most of us can understand the lust, the sense of entitlement.
Wanting something since you were 19 in college, and thinking that just because you wanted it, it was yours, and after planning an entire life forgoing the normal pursuits of happiness and pleasure,
in exchange for every day of your life being a calculation, the people you hang with, the friends you supposedly make, all of the money you raise, the obligations that you enter into, All of it engineered not for the genuine human concerns of relationships and family and friends, but for a political prize.
And to have it six months after you thought it was inevitable, be up for grabs.
And just go away quietly.
Folks, it's not going to be that.
That's why this is to me shaking out to be so much fun, because we haven't even seen the fireworks start yet.
All right.
The next sound sets up uh is set up by that.
The Ashley Wilkes uh was on MSNBC's morning show today.
Retired General Wesley Clark.
Uh team Hillary members of guest Joe Scarborough said, hey, the Clinton campaign never saw this type of landslide coming, did they?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not inside the campaign in the sense of sort of working it day by day, but I've known Hillary Clinton for a long time.
And uh she's a very resolute person.
She's got a lot of great ideas.
She's wanted this opportunity all her life, and she's going to work it very, very hard.
See.
Folks, I'm telling you know these people as I know exactly what's motivating them and how what what they're going to do when they get desperate, which they are now getting desperate.
Um and even when you hear some of the other sound bites coming up from MSNBC.
Chris Matthews last night, remember he got taken to woodshed uh by Hillary twice, had to apologize a couple times, or maybe once and Schuster did.
He'd been in a tank for Obama up until last night, all of a sudden.
They've done a big 180 over at PMSNBC for Mrs. Clinton, and uh it's it's obvious that it comes after Mrs. Clinton threatens not to show up on the network for one of their televised debates.
Fa phone time now.
Joanne in uh Birmingham, Alabama, we'll start with you.
Great to have you here.
Diddle's Maharashi.
Thank you.
Well, as a person who's been observing Barry Obama after the last, I'd say probably three years.
I'm here to say that this entire messianic aura that he's got going on right now is not gonna last.
And I totally agree with you about that.
He has become absolutely nauseating to me.
Just his body language, the way he peers upon the crowd with that condescending sort of aura coming out of him.
It's just sickening to me at this point.
Uh is is it is it Obama that's sickening to you, or is it the reaction that average American Democrats are having to him that really sickens you or frightens you?
It's him.
It's him.
It's really not I see I saw him speak back when he was running for the Senate against Alan Keith.
And uh wasn't he running against Alan Keys at one point?
Back in uh Yeah, exactly.
Right, exactly.
For Alan Key isn't even live in Illinois.
I mean, that was that was uh Right, right.
And of course, Key shot himself in the foot as usual, but um the way he spoke back then, I said this guy is trouble for the Republicans.
Well, I got some interesting information about this.
There's uh a guy that that uh named David David Axlerrod, uh, who is uh running Obama's campaign and ran Duval Patrick's campaign.
Um and uh a c who else?
Um was it 2004?
What what uh oh there Yeah, it was Edwards.
He ran Edwards in two thousand.
This guy and and this guy may be the source of with the 26-year-old speechwriter they got and Ted Sorensen doing the advising.
Uh but the point what all this goes to, folks, what all of this goes to is the authenticity.
Is this really Obama, or is this the product of his advisors writing his speeches and so forth?
That's that's where the somebody's gonna go there.
Uh the Clintons will go there, McCain will go there.
This is how authentic is this?
Is this really some inspirational movement here?
Is is is this Dr. Norman Vincent Peel, or is this a presidential campaign?
Um is this a cult?
Uh or is it a political movement?
I mean, people are gonna have to start asking these questions about uh Obama.
You know, last night I was uh I was, you know I just I just felt like taking a bit of a hiatus in some of this stuff.
So when the results came in and it was apparently obvious it was gonna happen, I turned on some entertainment TV.
And all the emails started coming in.
Rush, rush, rush.
You've got to turn on the Obama speech.
You've got To watch this.
I don't like Obama, but he is great.
He's such a great speaker.
Rush, rush, rush.
You've got to look at that stuff on an email in my eyes turn into snake slits.
Why do I have to watch it?
Ladies and gentlemen, you know, I uh this is what I told one of the people who sent me a note last night.
Look, if you want to marvel, if you want to sit there and swoon and go in awe, go right ahead.
But those of us who are the best at what we do are not phased by others who also do it.
I'll be glad to watch somebody's better at what I do uh uh better at uh great at what they do if I don't do it.
Like somebody play football or baseball.
I'm gonna sit around when I know what the guy's gonna say.
When I know this when I when I know the whole approach, I got better things to do.
I'm taking some time off of it.
Read the transcript of the speech later.
Here, we've put together a montage.
We've got two two different things here from this speech that I do wish to highlight for you.
Uh we've put a montage here of the of the uh the the nothingness, but then he got specific on economics last night, and this is frightening stuff.
So here's here's first is the is the montage.
This is at the Toyota Center in Houston, where O'Bach sorry, Obama gave him what would you call this?
Acceptance speech, victory speech, State of the Union speech.
Uh it was all kinds of speeches rolled into one.
We need to move in a new direction.
We're here because we still believe the change is possible.
And so the question I have for you tonight, Houston, is are you really ready for change?
The size of our challenges had outstripped the capacity of a broken and divided politics to solve.
Change in America does not happen from the top down.
It happens from the bottom up.
All across the country, people are standing up and saying it is time to turn the page.
It is time to write a new chapter in American history.
We want to move forward into a better tomorrow.
The American people.
Let's reject!
Yes, we can.
We'll invest in you.
You invest in America.
Together we will march this country forward.
We need something different, and we need new leadership to move into a new century.
Nothing worthwhile in this country has ever happened, except somebody somewhere was willing to hope.
That's what hope is, imagining and then fighting for and then working for, struggling for what did not seem possible before.
All these things are possible if you are ready for change.
What things?
This is amazing.
All of those things change the future.
I saw there were 20,000 people there.
20,000 people there, and they were mesmerized.
I mean, it's a cult.
It's what I'm telling you, snurdly.
Revival, whatever you want to call it, it's cult.
It is a personality cult.
And these people that are showing up at these things are investing all its hope in Obama.
Not in themselves.
They're sitting around, you know, hope, like I keep telling you.
Hope is an excuse for doing nothing.
I know you you you got a whole different opinion of this tonight.
I'm telling you, this will not sustain itself, just like the Perot phenomenon didn't sustain itself.
Uh it's not because it's not valid or any of that, it's because people's emotional reservoirs just uh just aren't that deep.
Plus the whole context of the campaign is going to change.
But despite all this vapidness, he did get specific, and we'll give you a couple examples of that.
When we come back right after this.
It's not over yet, snurdly.
You can't say she's finished this till Texas and Ohio, and even then with these delegate rules.
You know, I'm just I'm just reacting today.
We're doing a bunch of hypotheticals on the context or within the context uh that it's over.
But it it really isn't.
But uh in terms of you know what McCain has to do against an Obama uh uh uh nominee uh in the general election, uh that's the sense in which I'm exploring this stuff today.
Uh Snerdly going nuts here, folks.
It's like it just hit him last night that this Obama thing's for real.
It's been real ever since it started.
It has been real ever since it started.
You know, getting a handle on it, putting your arms around what it is, well, it's another thing.
But it's not a political movement.
It's a rock tour, it's a rock concert tour, and if you don't show up at the concert when it happens in your town, you're not hip.
Uh it's a cult.
Uh, it is you know, it's it's a religious movement.
I mean, whatever it is, uh, it it is gone beyond politics.
Because there's there the the one message, you know, you these speeches say nothing.
They say nothing, and it's you th these people, I'm telling you, that are gravitating to Obama in large at least, these people showing up in person.
These are people desperately seeking meaning in their lives because they they don't have any.
We all want to matter.
We all want to have meaning in our lives.
We all want to be relevant to something.
Uh, and and a lot of these people don't feel that about themselves.
They they they feel empty and they're trying to fill the emptiness, fill the void, and Obama does.
Obama gives them hope that they're gonna be something, but that's even not it.
Obama gives them hope that he is gonna make their life substantive and have meaning by virtue of his presence, his messianic, by virtues of existence alone.
They're not gonna have to do anything.
Basically, you can say that Obama is saying this to these cultists out there in his crowd.
I will do my best to take wealth from those who generate it in our country and give it to you, who are hoping for change.
That's one of the essences of what Obama's saying.
Here's a couple more bites here.
Uh, he finally got a little specific on uh on economics.
I believe in the free market.
I know Texans believe in entrepreneurship.
We are an independent and a self-reliant people.
We don't believe in government doing what we can do for ourselves.
But when we've got CEOs making more in 10 minutes than ordinary workers are making it in a year, and it's the CEOs who are getting a tax break, and workers are left with nothing, then something is wrong.
Right, so you throw all this free market stuff that he just said he supports out the window because something's wrong.
It ain't working.
The free market isn't wrong.
There's, you know, Hillary says she's gonna rein in all these corporations.
He's doing the same thing.
He's just not using her language.
Here's the second bite.
I want to take away those tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas.
We're gonna give them to companies that invest right here in America, and we're gonna roll those Bush tax cuts that went to all the wealthy people, and we're gonna give tax cuts to ordinary families, people who are making less than 75,000.
We will offset your payroll tax, senior citizens who make less than $50,000.
We want to say to them, you don't have to pay an income tax.
You're already having a tough time making ends meet.
And I will raise the minimum wage not every 10 years, but to keep pace with inflation because if you work in America, you should not be poor.
And that's a goal that we should set for ourselves when I'm president of the United States of America.
That's what I mean.
This speech last night, folks, very specific.
He is an old-time liberal, he is an old-time socialist.
Very little of that stuff, by the way, that he says he's going to do will ever happen.
That doesn't matter.
He's not going to be able to pull that those kinds of things that drastically are not going to happen.
But he wants them to, and he will try to make them happen.
Obama never worked in the private sector in its shows.
You go out, folks, you try to be a young person.
You try to get a job under President Obama.
He wants to jack up the minimum wage and index it to inflation.
You want to blast young people right out of the job market?
Do the Obama plan.
Goodbye high school and college jobs for kids.
Goodbye entry-level jobs.
So will Barack step up and give our tax money to those he puts out of work?
Yeah.
Because it's never going to be his fault.
It'll be the evil Republicans in Congress who have no compassion.
You know, I, for one, I do not want a naive fool with the zilch experience managing the United States economy.
And Hillary talks this way too.
That's not their job.
Dictators manage economies.
Presidents do not.
He wants to manage upper end wages, CEO wages.
He wants socialized medicine, expand unions, empowers teachers' unions.
All of this stuff is Marxism.
When you boil it all down, these are all old ideas, regressive ideas that have failed.
As Obama is a young, naive man who holds tight to failed old ideas.
I wonder if uh Obama wants to manage how much money people get from their trusts.
You know, like the Kennedys.
Let's cap that while we're at it.
We're gonna cap CEO pay.
Let's cap what you can get out of your own trust.
