Time Text
I did.
I turned the bars on.
Stop telling me what to do when the show starts.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
As always, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Yesterday I was doing this program with half my mood tied behind my back.
Today it's a little bit better.
Great to have you here.
800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address.com.
The Billy Carter.
Billy Carter Service Station Museum.
Opened after two years of planning and eight months of rummaging through the possessions of former President Jimmy Carter's late brother.
The service station Reed Gasoline.
The service station museum represents the actual service station where Billy Carter held court with both locals and world media in Plains, Georgia before, during and immediately after his brother's tenure as the 39th president.
The project is a joint effort of several departments within the University of Georgia, the uh the Plains Georgia Better Hometown Association and Billy Carter's widow Sybil.
This is actually great news, folks.
Another place to stop and pee when you are traveling through Georgia.
Have you heard about what happened to Paul McCartney?
This is just Lexis gave him a hybrid.
They gave him with the LS 600H, cost 84,000 pounds.
It was a gift to McCartney from Lexus because he's been out there helping to promote it.
But instead of shipping it by boat from Japan to the UK, they put it, they put it on a Korean air flight as cargo, created a carbon footprint almost 100 times bigger than if the car had come by sea, and McCartney says he is horrified because his eco car.
His eco car is flown 7,000 miles from Japan.
Is his horrified by this.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, uh Barack Obama was in Cape Girardeau, Missouri yesterday, watched the speech, watched his appearance, did not see all the QA, but we heard enough.
Here is a portion of remarks made by Barack Obama in Rush Limbaugh country.
Right now, we don't have enough troops.
And NATO hasn't provided enough troops because they are still angry about us going into Iraq.
So we just don't have enough capacity right now to deal with and and it's not just troops, by the way.
It's like uh Arabic uh interpreters, Arab language speakers.
We only have a certain number of them, and if they're all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them.
Yeah, and and obviously that they may not speak Arabic, but the the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are, they're gonna be uh needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere.
So we've got to focus on Afghanistan.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, what you just heard was the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee wandering aimlessly in desperate hope for a cogent thought.
His point was he was trying to tell these people in his audience in Cape Girardeau yesterday that our foreign policy is all screwed up because every asset that we need to actually win the war against Islamo fascists is in Iraq.
And that's a phony war.
It shouldn't happen.
We don't even have any Arabic translators for Afghanistan.
And then he quickly realized.
Wait a minute, they don't speak Arabic there.
Oh God, what am I gonna do?
Then he then he makes up a couple languages that they speak.
But then he said, We need some Arabic translators there, because you never know who is there.
They speak Dari and Pashto in Afghanistan.
I Have been there.
Afghans do not speak Arabic.
Now, this is from the guy who said he's visited 57 states.
This is the guy who, by the way, when he was on the floor of the U.S. Senate yesterday, was not wearing his American flag lapel pen.
When he showed up in Cape Girardeau, he was wearing his American flag lapel pin.
Now, here's the thing about this.
Nobody would be making a big deal of it other than he started it.
He made a big point of telling everybody why he was not going to wear the flag pin after 9-11 because he wanted to show real patriotism, patriotism ideas, not the patriotism of symbols.
So he brought it up so people started paying attention to it.
And a lot of people said, come on, and there's other things about Obama that we can talk about.
Let's not mess around with flag pen business.
It's not going to get us anywhere.
But now he takes it off.
Now he takes it on, depending on where he is, he puts it on, depending on where he is, he takes it off.
On the floor of the Senate, doesn't want the flag pin on, probably doesn't want his Democrat buddies to see it when he gets to Cape Girardo in a Republican district, swing state, babbo, time to put the flag pin back on.
I'm just telling you.
If this guy were Dan Quayle, if he if he if can I channel Gerald Dean Ferraro?
If Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago.
Democrats keep telling us that George W. Bush is an idiot.
And a lot of Democrats think that George W. Bush did it because he can't speak.
He can't articulate.
Here's Obama.
Let's listen to this again.
Audio soundbite number five.
Here's Obama without a teleprompter.
You tell me if what you're hearing is a man with gravitas.
Right now, we don't have enough troops.
And NATO hasn't provided enough troops because they are still angry about us going into Iraq.
So we just don't have enough capacity right now to deal with.
And it's not just troops, by the way.
It's like Arabic uh interpreters, Arab language speakers.
Yeah.
We only have a certain number of them.
And if they're all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them.
And obviously they may not speak Arabic, but the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere.
So we've got to focus on Afghanistan.
Wow.
Now there's a giant intellect on parade.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is an intimidating intellect.
There, I guess, is the gravitas that the Democrats keep telling us George W. Bush lacks.
Forty percentage points.
Hillary Clinton wins in West Virginia by 40 percentage points.
The drive-by media today is just ripping its hair out.
Why don't she quit?
Why won't she quit?
Why would she quit for the good of the party?
Why won't she get out?
Why did he drive by?
She's not doing this for you.
Drive-bys.
What's the big deal with the party?
Are you a member of the Democrat?
I thought you guys, you know, objective and all that.
What do you care what happens to Democrat Party?
Why won't you get out?
Why wouldn't you get it?
They're also upset that their guy can't close the deal.
Sit around and say that all these Republicans are voting against McCain in the primaries, which they are.
How about all these Democrats voting against Obama since February 22nd drive by?
Why don't you tell us about that?
The newspaper in my hometown of Cape Girardeo, Missouri.
Ran a story today on the Barack Obama visit to Cape Girardo headline, candidates visit draws supporters, curious to Thorngate Lot, that's the manufacturing plant.
Dozens and dozens of people milled around in the parking lot and out dozens and dozens for a presidential candidate.
Dozens and do hey, look, HR.
He just said, hey, there's your hometown.
There are a lot of Democrats in that town.
You wouldn't believe I get some of the most hateful letters to the editor written about me in my hometown Paper.
You wouldn't believe it.
This section called Speak Out.
My North Carolina mistress sends me all this stuff.
Oh, some of the most vicious anti-rush limbaugh letters to the editor are to be found not just in the Palm Beach Post here, but in my well, plenty of Democrats there, but only dozens and dozens show up to see the new Democrat Party's Messiah.
And of course, the Southeast Missouri and then goes out and talks to some of these people.
Van Ayres, Nancy Caldwell Ayres, stood in line waiting for the security check before entering Thorngate.
They said they came to see the next president of the United States.
Another guy, uh Billy Curry, 41.
Yeah, I just came here to get a glimpse.
I've never voted presidential election before, but I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do it this year.
Kim Baker, who owns Bootheel Cash, just a block away from Thorngate.
I have no idea what that is, boot heel cash.
She closed her shop to take her daughter Savannah and an employee, Tempest Southall, to wait in the parking lot.
No, no, no, not that we're supporters of Barack, but if he becomes president, my daughter, I thought she needs to possibly see him.
Uh she has seen George W. Bush.
And the last person they talked to, Betty Michael or Betty Michelle, it's M I C H E L. We want Obama to know that he does have friends down in Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardo and fooie on Rush Limbaugh.
Folks, it's time for a little history lesson.
Now we're gonna get back to the phones, or we're gonna get to the phones here in just a second.
Please be patient.
But I want to I want to do a little history lesson because also, while in Cape Girardo, Missouri yesterday, Barack Obama said this.
I don't think that we're necessarily going in the direction of the Depression.
In response to a question during a visit to a suit making factory.
He said there are some similarities, though, to the Great Depression.
To what happened back in the late 20s and early 30s and what's been happening now, and the biggest similarity is how we've been dealing with Wall Street and what's happening in the financial markets.
As your president, my job is to regulate what happens in the financial markets to make sure that people aren't taking these kinds of risks, and that we're having full disclosure.
Now, I have a question.
How in the world is a Democrat Party about to have this degree of an uneducated man for president of the United States?
How in the world do you graduate from the best university in the world and not know more than this about the Great Depression?
For a presidential candidate to assess the current U.S. economy as showing similarities to the Great Depression or what happened in the late 20s and the early 30s is mind-blowing.
I do not know how you come out of Harvard not knowing anything more than this about the Great Depression.
And then he said the U.S. housing crisis resulted from lack of regulation of mortgage lenders, investment banks, who ended up with worthless assets.
You know what we're learning about this subprime business?
You know what we're you know, we're learning that quite a few of these people who are abandoning their homes, never lived in them.
They were speculators, got caught in a flip.
All this talk about people walking away, there's a term now, walk-away mortgages, people walking away because ostensibly can't afford them.
They're walking away because they know they're gonna be made whole.
They're walking away because they don't have to pay for them.
They ever lived in these houses.
They were flipping them, they were speculating.
But back to the Great Depression.
Okay, Obama compares housing crisis to Great Depression.
That is the headline from Reuters.
Obama compares housing crisis to Great Depression.
I'm wondering how many of you know what caused the Great Depression and what ended it.
And after it started, what it was that exacerbated it.
Now I was trying to figure out last night, and you gotta remember here, I am steaming.
When I left here yesterday, you can ask Snertley.
I walked out here, we go out, we get in the cars, usually tell each other, yeah, good show.
Didn't say a word.
I got in a car and I spit off.
Snerdley was so he stayed here to play with a new computer.
I got home, I just I I just I was stewing you I I I take it very poorly when I do what I think is a subpar.
Uh broadcasting yesterday was.
In terms of mood, content made have been okay, but but you know, anybody can show up on a radio and be mad that that doesn't take.
My mood is better today.
My mood's better today.
Can't you tell?
Of course my mood's better today.
So I got to thinking, what in the world?
What in the world could Barack Obama have been taught about the Great Depression if he compares today's economy and the housing crisis to it?
So I went and did some Google searching.
I just entered Great Depression.
And I came up with some fascinating stuff.
I shouldn't be surprised.
Here in one of the first stories I found, the second page of six.
At least in part the Great Depression was caused by underlying weaknesses and imbalances within the U.S. economy that had been obscured by the boom psychology and speculative euphoria of the 1920s.
The Depression exposed those weaknesses, as it did the inability of the nation's political and financial institutions to cope with the vicious downward economic cycle that had set in by 1930.
Prior to the Great Depression, governments traditionally took little or no action in times of business downturn, relying instead on impersonal market forces to achieve the necessary economic correction.
But market forces proved unable to achieve the desired recovery in the early years of the Great Depression.
Does anybody know what is wrong with that claim?
I don't know who wrote this.
Uh it's it's it's got a website, English.
I don't know who it is.
Doesn't matter, it's not byline.
Yeah, but there was one it's hard to it's hard to pinpoint one thing.
But when when reading this sentence, market forces alone proved unable to achieve the desired recovery, and this painful discovery eventually inspired some fundamental change in the U.S. economic nature.
Government action after the depression, whether in the form of taxation, industrial regulation, public work, social insurance, made a principal role, played a principal role in ensuring economic stability.
What's wrong with this?
You think about it, there's another one.
Paul Alexander Gus Moreno, May 13, 1996, main causes of the Great Depression.
The major reason for this large and growing gap between the rich and the working class people was the increased manufacturing output throughout the period.
From 23 to 29, the average output per worker increased 32% in manufacturing.
During that same period of time, average wages for manufacturing jobs increased only 8%.
Basically, he says the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the 1920s and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part of the same decade.
This maldistribution of wealth in the 1920s existed on many levels.
Money was distributed disparately between the rich and the middle class, between industry and agriculture within the U.S. and between the U.S. and Europe.
This imbalance of wealth created an unstable economy.
The excessive speculation in the late 20s kept the stock market artificially high, but eventually led to large market crashes.
So in two instances, Google searches, we find out that the gap between the rich and the poor was the cause of the Great Depression, and that only government intervention stopped it.
None of that is true, but I'll lay you ten to one, that's exactly what Barack Obama was taught at every level of his education.
Now I want to spend a little bit more time on this Great Depression business, and Obama in Missouri yesterday comparing the housing crisis to the Great Depression.
That is ladies and gentlemen, that that's shockingly ignorant.
I don't know whether he Actually believes it.
I think he does, because I think it's what he was taught.
I don't know if he believes it or if he's just pandering.
But at the same time, I want to I want to just check your knowledge of history.
As you know, I am a famous college dropout.
Just a question on Jeopardy to this on this very day.
And there are many days that I give thanks I didn't end up in college and have my mind polluted and brainwashed by a bunch of Marxist professors teaching me about how rotten my country is, which is what I think has happened to Obama.
This piece that I found, searching on the Great Depression by Paul Alexander Gus Morino, the third, written May 13, 1996.
Let me give you some more excerpts of this.
The main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the twenties and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part of the same decade.
This imbalance of wealth created an unstable economy.
The excessive speculation in the late 20s kept the stock market artificially high, and eventually led to large market crashes.
These crashes combined with the maldistribution of wealth caused the American economy to capsize.
A major reason, well, he continues in the next two paragraphs to focus on the primary cause of the Great Depression being the gap between the rich and the poor.
He then writes, the federal government also contributed to the growing gap between the rich and the middle class.
Calvin Coolidge's administration and the conservative controlled government.
Mr. Gus Moreno, there was no conservatism during Calvin Coolidge's administration.
The federal government also contributed to the growing gap between the rich and the middle class, Calvin Coolidge's administration and a conservative controlled government favored business.
And as a result, the wealthy who invested in these businesses.
An example of legislation to this purpose is the Revenue Act of 1926, signed by Coolidge, which reduced federal income and inheritance taxes dramatically.
Andrew Mellon, Coolidge's Secretary of the Treasury, was the main force behind these and other tax cuts throughout the 20s.
In effect, he was able to lower federal taxes such that a man with a million dollar income had his federal taxes reduced from 600,000 to 200,000.
Even the Supreme Court played a role in expanding the gap between the socioeconomic classes.
So what we're getting here, written in uh in May of 1996, is a rehash of liberalism to Marxism today.
This guy, Paul Alexander Gus Morino, has a little disclaimer here at the top.
Note, don't plagiarize.
It isn't fair to me, your colleagues, or yourself.
Mr. Gus Marino, you better check Karl Marx and see if you plagiarized him in putting this piece together.
It's almost word for word what communists taught their kids about American capitalism.
No wonder these people like Obama can't get it that America is a great nation.
They have no clue what made us great.
Or an economic superpower.
All they've been taught is any American downturn is because of the rich and the poor, and it's leading to a Great Depression.
The large and growing disparity of wealth between the well-to-do and the middle class made the U.S. economy unstable.
For an economy to function properly, total demand must equal total supply.
Did you read this?
Did you did you hear this?
For an economy to function properly, total demand must equal total supply.
Zero sum game.
It's exactly what liberals think.
You get a dollar raised, somebody loses a dollar.
You get a job, somebody gets fired.
Zero sum game.
They've always thought this.
No growth, it doesn't happen.
In an economy with such disparate distribution of income, it is not assured that demand will always equal supply.
Especially what happened in the 1920s was there was an oversupply of goods.
It was not the surplus products of industrialized society were not wanted, but rather that those whose needs were not satiated could not afford more.
Now, how many of you know what the cause of the Great Depression was?
The stock market crash was not it.
You know, this Great Depression.
I mean, it was bad.
Don't misunderstand it.
I just don't think Obama knows what it was, and I don't think he knows what caused it.
The Great Depression caused a worldwide economic downturn because even at that point, the United States, even in 1928-29.
Remember the Roaring 20s?
Have you heard of the Roaring 20s?
You know what the Roaring 20s were?
I mean, it was exciting.
The Great Depression, and Milton Friedman has said this.
The Great Depression was not caused by the stock market crash in 1929.
It was a normal downward cycle.
We had a stock market, the bottom fell out.
I asked you ten minutes ago if you know what the single most exacerbating cause of prolonging the depression was.
That would be the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act, which was protectionism.
The initial government response to the crisis exacerbated the Great Depression.
This Paul Alexander Gus Marino III is exactly wrong.
What prolonged a stock market problem was the government getting involved.
And their first response was Smoothawley, which was protectionist policies, tariffs on anything that we imported.
And rather than help the economy, it strangled global trade.
And this led to the rest of the world suffering an economic downturn.
And businesses that suffered the most during all this because of this were agriculture, mining, and logging.
The New Deal was supposed to get us out of this.
The New Deal was supposed to get an active government involved in solving the depression.
It exacerbated it.
What got us out of the Great Depression was World War II.
17% of the American male population at being drafted that took care of a lot of unemployment, not all of it.
Rosie the Riveter, women went to work in the factories building airplanes and so forth.
It was gearing up to beat the Japanese and the Germans.
And by the way, you might even be able to make a claim, although this is arguable, but you might be able to make a claim that the Great Depression and its exacerbation smoothawley and tariffs might have led in part to the Japanese saying the hell with America.
It's arguable, but the whole world was thrown into a downward cycle.
Not just because of Smoot Hawley, but but the point is we're nowhere near anything like that today.
We are nowhere near anything.
And we've got the Democrat presidential presumptive nominee in Southeast Missouri claiming the housing market reminds him of the Great Depression.
The Japanese needed oil.
They needed oil for growth.
We had all these tariffs going on.
They invaded China for the same reason.
And yet, what is being taught to these skulls full of mush in even the best universities?
Marxism.
The disparity between the middle class and the which led to the Great Depression.
Well, a little common sense.
If that were the case, wouldn't we be in one right now?
And wouldn't we have been in one since basically our founding?
And wouldn't Great Britain be in a Great Depression?
You think it's bad here?
They've got royalty.
They have an aristocracy that sits around and starts sipping gin and tonic at four in the afternoon after getting up at noon.
Talking about work output, Zilt Zero Nada.
You want to talk.
Look at Russia.
Look at anywhere there's a you think there'd be well, there ought to be Great Depressions all over the place.
I am convinced, I'm not convinced, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Obama goes to one of the greatest universities in the world and comes out not knowing diddly squat about the country that the Democratic Party says he is the best they have to lead it.
Ha, welcome back.
Rush Limboa, your guiding light to times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, traitors, chaos, sellouts, spineless wimps, torture.
And even the good times.
I guess I better go to the phones.
I just scratched the surface here, but we got to go to the phones because people have been waiting here since we start answering the phones about 20 minutes after the program begins.
Nathan in Washington, nice to have you, sir.
Thank you for waiting.
Hello.
Speaking of the Great Depression, I am depressed.
It's almost as if McCain just wiped out all of the help that was bestowed upon him as a result of the entire Operation Chaos mission with his environmental speech.
Mr. Limbaugh, please don't downplay the monstrous negative effect of our media.
It's that it's having on everything that we cherish.
We ditto heads have placed our faith in you to not allow this media to destroy our country.
We want you to use your power to stop them.
We don't want to hear about liberals or liberalism or Democrats, all of which would not exist if we force our media to uh report truth, Rosh.
Please defend power that only you have, Mr. Lumbaugh.
Yes, and I appreciate that.
And you're right.
That power I do possess.
However, that power, the power to rid the media of liberalism does not exist.
And I have I have I have warned you countless times in this audience.
If you are going to sit out and define happiness and or success based on how much of liberalism is trashed and gotten rid of in the mainstream media, you're going to forever be disappointed.
They own it.
They will for always and ever be liberal.
The idea is to get to the hearts and minds of as many Americans so as to render the drive-by media less potent.
This has happened.
It will continue to happen.
Look at their newspaper circulation.
Down.
Look at their advertising revenue.
Down.
Look at a number of layoffs at big papers.
Down.
Look at circulation.
Down.
Look at ratings for cable TV networks that are on the left.
You need a magnifying glass to see them.
Look at the declining numbers of the evening news.
The difference is they are 24-7.
They pound and pound and pound and pound.
But we've shown over recent years they can be beaten.
They can be beaten back.
That's what's so frustrating right now, if you ask me.
We will continue to endeavor into our objectives here and will be undeterred.
Of that, have faith and be confident.
Dave in Concord, North Carolina, your next speaker.
Hello, sir, great to have you here.
Well, it's a pleasure to speak with you, Rush.
I'm uh I've been listening for a long time, and this is the first time I've ever tried to call.
I'm glad you made it through.
Uh I I hope I am too.
I was I was wondering or was referring to your last hour about uh your comments about Nancy Pelosi and trying to to run conservative Democrats and um uh take uh you know broaden her base in the uh in the Democratic Party.
And I was wondering if the Democrats, if the Democrats in Mississippi were more conservative than the Republicans, why wouldn't you be po why wouldn't you be pleased about that as a conservative?
Uh well, in in in a in a certain context I would, but Pelosi is not trying to broaden her base, and it didn't say that.
She's trying to entrench her leadership.
Once these conservative Democrats get to Washington, they're gonna be brought to Pelosi's office, and they're gonna say, they're gonna be asked, Do you like it here?
Do you want to stay here?
Do you want to rise in the ranks of the leadership maybe?
You want to get on a committee that matters to you?
Do you want to get some campaign contributions that come from outside your district?
And they're all gonna say, yeah, okay, fine, then you do what the leadership says.
We'll give you as many chances as possible to vote along with your district.
But on crucial issues, you're voting with us.
Uh the frustrating thing.
See, I you you you think I ought to be happy that there's conservatism out there.
I'm not happy there's conservatism out there.
I'm happy my own party wants to get rid of it.
I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm not happy.
I'm I'm mad that my own party wants to cast conservatism aside.
I know there's plenty of conservatism out there.
That's the source of the frustration.
But conservatism by itself cannot move things.
It needs a political party.
In our political structure, it is parties that get things done.
The Republican Party was the home of conservatism, and it still is.
But the people that run the Republican Party right now are trying to get rid of it.
Uh And it's a death wish.
It is an absolute death wish.
And I'll tell you, if they happen to win, if the Republicans happen to win in November, because look, as I said earlier, we're not going to vote for socialist Obama.
This is a full-blown ignoramus.
Embarrassingly uninformed about crucial things.
We're not going to vote for this guy.
We're not going to vote for Hillary Hillary.
We wouldn't vote for Al Gore.
Some of us, the question is, is he going to vote at all?
But it's entirely possible this newly constituted Republican Party, which stands for nothing but liberalism light, might end up winning because a lot of the country might look at this socialist bunch the Democrats are offering and say pewee and want no part of it.
And then where we are, then we have an elected Republican party holding the White House who's going to say, see, this is how you do it.
You go out and you get moderates and independents, and you have big government aspirations with compassion, and that's how we become a majority party, not Reaganism and not conservatism.
So when you can look to the future, you can look through the crystal ball, and you can see.
You can see disaster regardless of any electoral outcome.
You can see it.
Now some people say to me, but rush, but rush, but rush, hang on.
I know McCain bothers you on his environmental policies and so forth.
Come on.
Wouldn't his stand on tax cuts and judges and the war on terror, wouldn't that sort of ameliorate some of this stuff?
I said, talk to me when it happens.
We'll find out how many what what the majority of Democrats in the House and Senate are, that Senator McCain's going to have to work with.
And if the Democrats in the Senate have 57 votes plus three liberal Republicans, and believe me, they're there, then they effectively have 60 votes.
McCain could nominate Jesus Christ, the Democrats could stop him.
McCain could propose a tax rate cut to 10%, and the Democrats would stop him.
So you know, all these, all these, but rush, but rush, but rush.
Yeah, you can cite me these specifics, and yeah, this is what we have to deal with.
But do you realize, folks?
Do you realize what a bunch of sitting ducks the Democrats are this year?
I don't care if it's Obama, I don't care if it's Hillary.
Half the country already hates Hillary, and by the time we're through, more and more people are going to be aware that Obama is not a messiah and doesn't know half what he thinks he knows.
Obama, by the way, if you looked at Democrat turnout, don't care where you go.
White people vote for Hillary, black people vote for Obama.
This party is so racially divided, gender divided.
This party is nowhere near unity.
Obama doesn't have the ability to unify them, period.
This party is a sitting duck.
This is a recipe for a landslide a la 1980.
And we're not taking advantage of it.
We're out there trying to compete for the same lugheads that the Democrats are trying to compete for.
Don't ask me to explain why.
Well, because I I think I think there's a lot of people Republican Party who would be just punchy pleased if they could de-emphasize conservatives in that party once and for all, and I frankly think that's what McCain Feingold was in part about.
Have one more thing about tax rates and who was paying what in this country leading into the Great Depression when we come back, and it's eerily similar to today, but not the way you think.
Not quite, but getting there.
