Time Text
And greetings once again, ladies and gentlemen.
You are tuned to the most listened-to radio talk show in America, hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh from the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's the phone number if you'd like to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
And of course, you can send an email at lrushbo at eibnet.com.
Fox News is reporting that a mole-like growth has been removed from Senator McCain's face.
Don't know any more about it than that.
And of course, we got the news today that Robert Novak is in a hospital in Boston, having been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
And he has suspended his work.
Hopes to be back as quickly as possible.
So send our condolences out and our best wishes to Bob Novak.
He's a great friend of this program.
He's one of a million.
This is one of the first reporters to actually opine in journalism and get away with it.
That's why he was called a Prince of Darkness by his colleagues on the left, even though they loved him in Washington, D.C. Barack Obama, back in Chicago after a tour of Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Europe, saw a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical Center on Sunday night to deal with a sore hip.
His hip's been sore from basketball for a few weeks.
He's going to go see an orthopedic doctor, said Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Obama's a lifelong basketball player, and he squeezes in a game every now and then on the campaign trail at one stop during his overseas trip.
He shot baskets with U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Oh, just had to slip that in, didn't they?
See, this is what happens when you go play basketball and don't go visit the troops.
You throw your hip out.
In no way, Obama, you could have thrown your hip out had you gone to visit the troops.
More challenges in Denver for the Democrat National Convention.
The host committee is in as much as $10 million debt because they're short in fundraising.
Financial difficulties have forced it to cancel 24 parties for delegates.
Denver officials are scrambling to deal with the logistical challenge of Obama's acceptance speech being held at Invesco Field at Mile High.
Even special daisies that the city bred, partly to show off for the convention, are failing to sprout in Denver.
That's got to be a bad sign.
The daisies are failing to bloom.
Yes, to add insult to injury, special Denver daisies bred for the city's 150th anniversary in November and designed to bloom during the convention are having a hard time growing.
Only about a third have blossomed.
It's an issue so serious, the city council heard a report on it this month.
Okay.
It's a big deal to them in Denver, ladies and gentlemen.
Here, by the way, we got a call about Nancy Pelosi on the view today.
In fact, let's, I'll tell you what, Mike, let's go play, after Pelosi, let's go back to Soundbite 8.
Now, here's Pelosi on the View today.
The surge's purpose was to have a military timeframe where there would be military security to enable the government of Iraq to make the political changes necessary for reconciliation.
I said it before when I was here, and I say it again.
Even with all of the time that has elapsed, they still have not done that.
The purpose of the surge was to pass the laws to bring the reconciliation so we could bring our troops home safely, soon, honorably, and responsibly.
And that has not happened.
Now the government of Iraq is saying, we want you to go home, so maybe the time has come for us to sit down with them and figure that out.
All right.
Now, I know that the reaction that many of you are having is, what a lying woman.
What she's just lying through her teeth, or maybe how stupid is she.
Again, she's not stupid.
She knows who the audience is.
She knows who watches the view.
She's spoon-feeding them what they want to hear.
None of what she said is accurate.
The surge was not done to bring the troops home soon.
The surge was done to help achieve victory, to quell a bunch of violence, insurgent violence, and defeat terrorists who were keeping that country just torn apart.
It has succeeded overwhelmingly.
Even Obama, who said this yesterday on Meet the Press, agrees.
There's no doubt that the violence has gone down more than any of us anticipated, including President Bush and John McCain.
If you talked to them and said, you know what, we're going to bring down violence to the levels that we have.
I think, I suspect USA Today's editorial board wouldn't have anticipated that.
The ego of this guy knows no bounds.
Well, you talked to anybody, well, it's worked better than anybody thought.
Aside from having not heard that before from anybody, but especially from Obama, the idea that the surge worked better than anybody thought is akin to saying, you know, those bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, man, they worked better than we thought.
Why drop the bomb?
Why do the surge if you didn't intend it to work well?
But aside from that, here you got Pelosi saying one story, it didn't work, it didn't accomplish anything.
You've got the Democrat presidential nominee, presumptive, Obama saying it exceeded everybody's expectations.
The more interesting to, I know what Pelosi's doing, and she's just pandering to an audience that watches that stupid TV show.
But this thing with Obama is what's fascinating to me because with every story he tells about the surge, he has a different view.
Last week, surge didn't really make any difference.
It was the political coalitions that did come together that Pelosi just this morning denied have come together and have worked.
This party cannot even get on the same page about all this.
This is a party that has invested in defeat and Pelosi still is.
Obama is obviously privy to, he's running a different campaign here than she is.
And he's obviously seen some focus group data that indicate that he'd better get on board this thing because the American people like victory.
And to try to talk it down and to suggest it isn't one is not going to help him.
The thing is, I know what a lot of you are saying, but Rush, but Russia's a fraud.
He's a plain old fraud.
I mean, this is worse than Clinton.
I agree with you.
I was watching a little television here at the top of the hour break.
And CNBC, the street sweetie, was promoing some things coming up in her program.
One of them was Obamaomics.
What the hell is Obamaomics?
And then I remembered, today Obama has a meeting with the close economic advisors.
And it's the same retreads from the Clinton years.
There's no change.
And there certainly isn't anything new.
Obamanomics?
Boy, he dropped that Middle East trip real fast, didn't he?
Now got to get onto the domestic side.
And he's got, this is a group of 10 or 12 people.
Robert B. Rice, and Larry Summers, and Warren Buffett.
Who else is in this?
Robert Rubin, a former Howard Citibank doing there, Robert.
That's exactly.
What you see, the stock price of Citibank, Robert?
What's it around $15?
And this is Clinton's Treasury Secretary Savior.
What change?
But see, folks, you can go out there and you can say he's a fraud all day long.
I'm telling you, it didn't work.
We tried that with Clinton.
We tried pointing out how you never get the truth out of him.
You don't get the truth out of Obama.
You get different stories for different audiences.
He's running multiple campaigns, at least two.
And that's why he's unsure of himself when he's speaking off the teleprompter.
But the focus has to be on his lack of experience, not that he's a fraud, because the people that are going to vote for him, this is going to be a referendum on Obama.
It really is.
And some people are going to have to vote against him.
And, well, I know that's not a perfect world.
Have somebody out there you could vote for.
But this campaign, this election, is going to be a referendum up or down on Obama.
And people are going to have to be convinced that there's a great risk in electing this guy.
And just running around and telling him he's a fraud, that's just going to be interpreted as politics as usual.
Well, look at this, same thing you guys said about Clinton.
We like Clinton.
Same thing you guys said about that.
We like that.
Even though it's true, even though the guy lies through his teeth, even though the guy is just all over the ballpark and says things strategically and tactically without any foundation.
See, we know what the foundation is.
The foundation is pure ultra-liberal leftist and liberalism.
And that's what they're trying to mask with all of these things.
Anyway, I'm not through working out the strategic plan here to deal with this, but I think it's obvious that running the same kind of critical campaign of Obama that people tried of Bill Clinton is not going to work.
We've seen this, and the people that end up supporting people don't care about all that.
They care about how these candidates make them feel.
And so the campaign has to make them feel scared of Obama being in power.
Whatever takes place has to make them frightened of what this guy is, and not because he lies, and not because he's a fraud, because most people think all politicians lie, and most people think that all politicians are frauds.
So for one party to say that about another and vice versa is not going to change anybody's vote.
Quick timeout.
Back with much more after this.
Don't go away.
Hello, Rush.
This is Don Rumsfeld.
Congratulations to you.
20 years on the air.
My goodness, but it's nice to see a young fellow like you just starting out.
Rush, you've given literally millions of Americans a voice, and a strong voice it has been.
The conservative cause, and I would argue our country as well, are much the better for it.
You have my warmest congratulations.
You have my great respect for your remarkable achievements.
I want to join you and tens and thousands of friends in thanking you and wishing you very well.
Please keep hard at it for the next 20 years and more.
Best wishes.
Wow.
Wow, Donald Rumsfeld.
You know, there is a guy, and we've talked about this numerous times.
Here is a guy who devoted much of his life to public service.
I mean, he was around in the Gerald Ford administration working with Dick Cheney back in those days.
He's been at the Pentagon a number of times.
He was vilified like George Bush has been vilified during the first four years, five years of the Bush administration.
And he was trying to modernize the Pentagon.
But here's a guy who didn't need it.
He didn't need the abuse that he was taking.
He didn't need the abuse that he was getting.
He was president of a company called GD Searle when they developed and then rolled out a product called Aspertame or Equal.
Rumsfeld has been successful at virtually everything that he has done.
And I had the greatest admiration for him, even in the face of just overwhelming personal criticism as well as professional criticism.
This guy's a genuine statesman, and he was working hard and oriented toward the U.S. national security, and there were people out to destroy him for it.
And he hung in and was undeterred by it, which most people in his position are.
But I think it's something that most people can't relate to, having that kind of an attack mounted on you consistently, and its express purpose is to destroy you.
There are a lot of Republicans who've been through it, from Robert Bork to Clarence Thomas to George W. Bush.
They know it's part of the lay of the land when they take these jobs, and they still hung in there.
Rumsfeld hung in there and did it.
A genuine public servant.
You hear about people doing public service.
That was and still is, in his own way, Donald Rumsfeld.
Thank you, sir, very much for that.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and how surprised I was to hear it.
They have not told me who these tributes and accolades aimed at me are going to be from all week.
So I hear it the first time along with you.
Hey, here's, let's see, what happened to the babe who thought gas prices were the big political issue?
He just, what was his name?
Well, this is right.
He's right.
We had a caller who was going to echo the host.
And the one issue that's out there on people's minds, and that's why Obama's dropped his international trip, is gas prices.
We've got another guy about gas prices.
I'm going to ask this guy the question.
It's Robert in Saginaw, Michigan.
Robert, thank you for calling.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
God bless you, man.
Thank you.
I heard you in the first hour talking to somebody about the gas prices going down, and you were talking about supply and demand and maybe a couple of other things.
But one thing I didn't hear you talk about was what I remember seeing here in Detroit.
They tried to pull the same thing, supply, demand, and such.
And I called him up, and I said, what you guys aren't talking about is President Bush overturned the presidential ban on drilling here in the United States.
And that was the day, not the next day, even that day was when oil prices started going down.
And OPEC does not want our oil on the market.
And if we could get Congress to overturn their banned also, I think you might see oil go down.
That is not going to happen before the election, and that is why you're right.
It is a huge election issue.
Oh, I know it won't happen.
The Democrats are not going to relax any of these offshore drilling, way offshore drilling bans or any other opportunities that we have.
They want people miserable.
They want high gas prices.
They think that will equal the ouster of Republicans in the election of Obama.
Let me ask you a question here, Robert.
I was going to ask the previous caller who was unable to hang on.
The gas price nationally, because you just said gas prices are the issue, right?
The gas price nationally, as we speak for unleaded regular, and I don't know who buys that anymore, but unleaded regular is now below $4.
And I read some stories over the weekend where the drive-bys went out and talked to people and they were ecstatic over this.
Oh, yeah, you got under four bucks.
Fine and dandy based.
Now, let me ask you, do you think, because a lot of people think gasoline has a tipping point, the price, and that it's four bucks, under four bucks, and people will be okay, and they'll not be demanding more oil or lower prices.
Once it hits four bucks or goes higher, that's when they will.
If you personally, with gasoline now, let me check the crude oil prices for the hell of a year before yesterday.
What's it?
Okay, 124.
It's up a buck from when I looked at it last today, which was sometime this morning.
$124 down basically $21, $23 for its high of $147, $148.
Now, gasoline's under three bucks.
Is it less of a problem to you?
No.
Under $4,000.
It's still a big problem.
I work with a union, and these guys are basically Democrat.
And I've been talking to them about the oil prices and stuff like that.
And they have really gone nut over the oil prices and the gas prices, especially.
And I've told them, I've reminded them since Bush overturned the presidential ban that oil prices and gas prices have gone down.
So what they got to start doing is calling their congressmen and start complaining to them and get them to overturn the congressional ban.
Now, whether they're going to do it or not, I don't know, but I already plan on doing it.
And if you're not going to be able to do that.
Okay, but right, but that's not going to happen before the election.
I know.
I guarantee it's not.
So I'm just trying to face reality here.
So gasoline that's like $3.80 is not going to change the situation for you in terms of it being an electoral issue.
No, it's $370 here in Saginaw, Michigan, where I live.
And I don't like the gas prices being that high.
Okay, because I just want to warn you that if the gasoline price continues to come down and it stays below $3, or I'm sorry, in the $3 risk, it stays below $4 for a long enough period of time.
I want you to steal yourself.
The drive-by media is going to report the massive drop in prices of gasoline.
They'll tie it to Obama's economic meeting today and advice that people are confident now.
They'll throw in some supply and demand things too, but they will try to say, look at the gas because they don't want it to be an electoral issue.
The drive-bys, the Democrats, if it's coming down, don't want it to be an electoral issue because that helps the incumbents if you're not as angry about it.
So they're going to be trying to tell you any number of things to keep you confused about it.
What do you think, folks?
The most popular, the most widely sold vehicle in China is while you're getting rid of yours.
Hey, get this.
Just found this in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
This is the Scafe paper in Pittsburgh.
The Senator Barack Obama campaign held a news conference or a conference call, I should say, this morning on one of the key battleground states in the race, Pennsylvania.
Team Obama, led by Governor Fast Eddie Rendell, stressed the, and he's from the Clinton camp, by the way.
Now keep that in mind.
Fast Eddie stressed the importance of registering and winning over the 1 million plus unregistered voters spread out over Pennsylvania.
Now, this story goes on, and there's another point here, but I have to stop here because every four years, in fact, you might even want to say every two, but every presidential year, we hear the Democrats working on their get out the vote campaign, brand new voter registration.
We've had rock the vote.
We've had voter die.
We've had all these ute movements again.
We've had Acorn fraudulently registering voters.
If the Democrat Party is so damn popular, and if Barack Obama is the Messiah, why in hell are not Democrats fully registered by now?
What in the world is going on?
We had a story here that the black population's not lining up behind Obama.
He's out in a voter registration campaign to get young blacks to sign.
What's that?
It's just another evidence that he's not how he's being portrayed.
And another bit of evidence that there isn't all that much excitement about the Democrat campaign this year.
Every four years, these guys run out with their voter registration efforts.
And you and I both know what's involved here.
From Acorn on down, and we see what happens in St. Louis or has happened in St. Louis.
They don't trust the voters.
They know that they are not a majority party, no matter what.
So Fast Eddie is out there saying the importance of registering and winning over the 1 million plus unregistered voters spread out over Pennsylvania.
Now, Pennsylvania always goes Democrat.
What's he talking about?
Well, I'll tell you what he's talking about.
He's talking about the fact that none of the usual Democrat voters, when they had a chance to vote for Obama in the primary there, did.
Hillary won the state going away.
And Fast Eddie, Fast Eddie actually said, not all of us are there yet when it comes to Obama.
Not all of us, he's a former Clinton supporter, as you know.
Not all of us are there yet.
Quote, Ed Rendell, a governor of Pennsylvania.
He said, I think that Senator Obama is going to do very well in the suburbs.
I'd be very disappointed if we did not match John Kerry's margin in the suburbs.
When Obama's bitter remarks that he made in San Francisco were brought up, Rendell said that Obama wished that he had phrased it differently.
He said, but there's no question that he's correct, that there are people that are hurting.
There are a lot of people, particularly in small towns who are hurting, need the help of a president that cares about them.
Rendell said that not all of the Clinton people have jumped on board Team Obama.
Quote, not all of us are there yet, but 90% of us are there, and we are getting more enthusiastic by the day about Senator Obama.
So you see, folks, there isn't this uncontrollable excitement.
There aren't Democrats out there that are having to be restrained in their homes and offices from going and voting now because they so want Obama.
They got to register voters.
It's not going well.
And Fast Eddie, why would he say this?
He used to work with Clinton.
Here he is running a Team Obama conference call, and he points out not all of us Clinton people are there yet.
Some of us are, but not all of us are.
Why even say that?
Well, you can answer your question yourself.
He's saying it because A, it's true.
And B, there's some lingering bitterness over the fact that Hillary was just discarded the way she was by the Democrats.
Now, China, let's talk about China and the THICOMs and the Olympics.
Let's try to put some things here in order.
As you know, the Olympics start August 7th, around there, August the 7th or 8th, August the 8th.
The Olympics start on August the 8th.
And many of the venues in which the Olympic Games will be contested will be in the polluted city of Beijing.
You have no doubt, well, maybe you haven't.
The drive-bys are running pictures of a polluted, smoggy Beijing that makes Los Angeles on its worst day look like the Cayman Islands.
So the CHICOMs have said doesn't matter.
We're going to make it rain if we have to to get the smog away and then we're going to not make it rain.
We're going to stop the rain for the opening ceremonies in the games.
But they haven't been able to stop the smog and they have shut down a considerable percentage of their factories and industrial production.
They have told drivers of automobiles in Beijing to park the cars more days a week than not.
They have done everything they can to stop the smog based on what they think is the cause of it, i.e. Chinese human beings, and it hasn't reduced it.
Shutting down the factories hasn't gotten rid of the smog and making people drive less hasn't gotten rid of the smog.
And so people are looking at this and they're saying, why don't they take some draconium measures and really fix, I mean, this is the Olympics.
They've got a big PR show they have to put on here.
They're trying to make a big impression on the rest of the world.
Folks, I'm not even sure they've shut down these factories.
I think half of that is just BS.
Here's a dirty little secret about the Chikoms.
They cannot afford a revolution.
They cannot have a bunch of people unemployed, not working, not productive, with very little income, not in their cities.
It's okay if that's out in the countryside, but even that's getting to be risky.
But in their cities, they can't afford it.
They will lose control of their population.
So as far as the Hu Jintao and the Shikom leadership is concerned, they will pollute this planet as much as they have to to make sure that they don't have a revolution launched against them.
And that's why they're never going to go along with any kind of Kyoto protocol or any other worldwide program to reduce carbon emissions because they know that reducing carbon emissions is going to slow down their economy and they can't afford that because they can't afford people from the countryside coming into the city wanting work when they're cutting back jobs in the city because of all these environmental concerns they must take.
So they're basically saying to the rest of the world, pst on these environmental concerns because they care about themselves.
They care about their country, their economy, and their leadership roles.
And they obviously don't think what they're doing is that damaging anyway.
It's just part and parcel of large groups of people living together.
Now, here in the United States, for a whole host of reasons, chief among them, the high price of gasoline.
But I also think there's a herd mentality in this too.
People apparently, supposedly, according to Drive-By Media reports, for the last two months, three months, have been showing up at automobile dealerships and trying to trade in their SUVs and other automobiles that are quote-unquote gas hogs because they can't afford them anymore with the tipping point price of gasoline now reaching four bucks per gallon.
So we here in America, the most prosperous, the most advanced, the freest, the greatest potential, the most amazing collection of human beings in the history of collections of human beings.
We are getting rid of our SUVs and pickup trucks, and we are in the process of downsizing to driving bubbles with wheels, lawnmowers with wheels, battery-powered cars and so forth.
What are they doing in China?
What are the little Chi-Coms doing, ladies and gentlemen, while we move ourselves back to the Stone Age?
Well, at least in that direction, China's most popular car is an SUV.
SUV sales in China are exploding.
Nodding his head to the disco music blaring out of his car's nine speakers, Zhang Lin Sen swings the shiny black Hummer H2 out of his company's gates and onto the spacious four-lane road.
In China, size matters, says Zhang Lin Sen, 44-year-old founder of a media and graphic design company.
People want to have a car that shows off their status in society.
Nobody wants to buy small.
Zhang grasps the wheel of his hummer, also called a fierce horse in Chinese, and hits the accelerator.
Car ownership in China is exploding.
It's not only cars, but sport utility vehicles, pickups, and other gas-guzzling rides.
Many Chinese remember, remember when Nixon went to China, when Mao Zitong was still running a show over there, barely Madame Mao had tried to off him a couple times.
She was in jail.
But the guy really running the show was Joe and Lai.
Well, Joe and Lai ran around in this giant big Buick.
The Chikom leadership was running around in giant big Buicks while the population was in rickshaws.
And they've always had this fascination with huge large cars because the little Chikoms, seen their Chikam leaders driving these things around.
And now they've got the chance to go and buy these SUVs, these hummers.
Folks, how does it make you feel?
I don't know what the price of gasoline is in China.
And I don't know to what extent, if any, it is subsidized.
Okay, it is subsidized.
Looks like they're more able to afford to get.
See, the Chai Coms need their economy growing.
They need people driving around, moving around.
They need people being able to afford fuel, so they're subsidizing fuel.
They're not bailing people out of stupid home mortgage messes.
They're buying their gasoline for them because they need an economy.
Know what energy means to this.
The whole subject of economic growth.
So meanwhile, the ChiComs, a country certainly growing, certainly on the rise, but it ain't the United States of America.
How does it make you feel that Zhang Lin Sin's got a big hummer with nine speakers blaring as he pulls out onto a four-lane road with so much smog you can basically see the car in front of him.
And you are trading in all of your cars and trying to go out and find basically a lawnmower with a couple of seats on it.
Okay, back to the phones of Bristol, Tennessee.
This is Leslie.
You're next.
It's great to have you here, Leslie.
Thank you for calling.
Hi, Mega Ditto's Rush.
The one listener that knows you're in Family Guy presents Blue Harvest.
Well, thank you for remembering that.
Well, I stumbled on a possible mission for your Operation Chaos Troops.
YouTube and the DNC are teaming up again.
The chairman, Howard Dean, is asking the question, why are you a Democrat in 2008?
He's asking you to submit a video, two minutes or less, for you to be creative and compelling.
They'll have five finalists, and then the winner will travel with the press and shoot a video depicting a day in the life of the press corps, and your video will be played live at the DNC.
You got to be kidding.
So it's another lottery that they're running.
Yes, sir.
The other lottery, I think they've changed the rules here, so it's not a lottery, but they're trying to give away five positions or ten to watch Obama's speech from behind the stage at the Democrat National Convention.
This is a great opportunity.
But Do you really think that Howard Dean and his boys and girls will pick a video of why I'm a Democrat submitted by an Operation Chaos troop?
Well, that's why I've put it into your hands because you can do it.
You can make us, your troops, do anything.
So you are crafty, and I'm sure you can figure something for us to do.
Well, we're still waiting for all these public platform committee hearings that we've personally been invited to start up so that we can get going on that.
As far as sending videos into the DNC on what I like about being a Democrat, let me ponder that, Leslie.
I think the fun of this would be not what they choose, but what we make them watch.
What do I like about being a demon?
I like being poor.
I like being a victim.
And I like having to wait for other people to try to help me.
I love it when people have their taxes raised.
That's what makes us a proud Democrat.
I am a Democrat.
I'm a proud Democrat.
I'll tell you why, because I am mad all the time.
I hate everybody.
I just hate people.
I'm mad.
I hate Bush.
I want Bush impeached.
And I'm glad the Democrats don't do any about it because I don't want to end up not being mad.
I want to be mad all the time.
All right.
Richard in Olima, Ohio.
Nice to have you here.
Yes, Rush.
How are your day?
My wife and I were on vacation in 1989 in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.
And on the way to Bonita Beach, the department store, we picked you up on the radio in the car.
I had never heard of you before.
And we were so impressed that we have listened to you all the time since.
Even on our trips that we take or vacations, we always try to pick you up on the radio while on the roads or whatever the case might be.
Thank you very much.
You're driving around.
I have a lot of people telling me, you're driving around.
You hear this guy on the radio.
Who is that?
I've never heard.
This is exactly what I think.
Yes, that's so true.
My lovely wife passed away at 2007, Alzheimer's.
But my music and you and our little doggy Susie is what keeps me motivated.
And we were both Navy veterans.
We loved our country very much.
And of course, I still do.
And we appreciate how much concern you show for the country and the troops.
I just wanted to thank you and hope you have 20 more years.
And I hope I'm around to listen to you.
Well, I will, and you will be.
Well, I hope.
Because, Richard, Richard, I'm not going anywhere until every American agrees with me.
I have made this pledge.
I have made this pledge to the American people.
Well, I appreciate that very much.
And I just have one thing.
I hope Obama does not get elected.
Yeah.
Are you still there?
Did we lose a connection?
He hung up.
Yeah.
Obama doesn't get elected.
Oh.
You know, folks, there, I was just telling the staff here during a recent break.
There are days, even I, my friends, have doubts.
I try to keep them from you because I know I'm the leader.
But even I have doubts.
And there's some days that I think we are just screwed.
And it's going to take four to eight years to roll back all this wild oncoming liberalism.
And then there are other days I think, you know what, we're going to beat it back.
It is going to happen.
That's not going to work out.
It's not happening the way the drive-by.
This is one of those days.
I think we're screwed.
Thanks to everybody for being with us today.
The first day of our 20th anniversary week.
And as I say, we're just dipping our toes in the water here the first couple of days.
We'll intensify our look back once we get to Wednesday.
But until then, have a great one.
