Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I've been chomping it to bit to get here today.
Finally, showtime has arrived on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
I don't want any of you to tell me when I'm late coming back for a break ever again.
Greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Lynn Boy and Open Line Friday.
You know the drill on Friday.
When we go to the phones, the program is all yours.
Monday through Thursday, it's about what I care about.
On Friday, I fake it.
If I don't care about it, I'll act like I do because this is the one day of the week where you get to run the show when we go to the phones.
Telephone number, 800-282-2882.
The email address, LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
Senator McCain today in Green Bay, early this morning, well, Central Time, 8 o'clock, he made a speech, and it was welcome to hear, just trashed into Obama, trashed, you know, tore right into Franklin Reigns, tore right into Jim Johnson.
He has an ad running, ripping Jim Johnson.
Obama's all upset about it.
Obama denying that Franklin Reigns has anything to do with his campaign, but the Washington Post says, yes, he did.
May still do have something to do with it.
Obama's down at the University of Miami today, gave a speech, and he didn't have an answer for his own recovery plan this morning.
He said he wanted to wait a while.
And the reason he wanted to wait was to find out just how much trash talking of the economy he had to do.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average at this moment up plus 403 as a surge is occurring worldwide.
Told you all week it's an excellent buying opportunity was going on here.
And the speech was dull, and it was, but the people like Obama, you know, the Harvard, the elitist crowd are going to love it because it's very professorial.
But then when they went to Q ⁇ A, he was lost.
When they went to Q ⁇ A from the journalists, it was, you know, just wandering all over in vain search of a coherent thought.
Also, what happened yesterday with the situation in New York, the conference of major Jewish organizations where they disinvited Sarah Palin after Hillary refused to appear with her.
Malcolm Honlein runs that organization.
Malcolm Hohenlein is a friend of mine.
Malcolm Hohenlein is the man who arranged and accompanied me on that wonderful trip to Israel that I had in 1993.
And I think what's happened here, the George Soros people are taking credit for shutting this down.
The George Soros people are sending emails all over to each other saying, we did it.
We did it.
We did it.
We shafted APAC, meaning the Jewish lobbying firm, American Israel Political Action Committee in Washington.
Soros, a huge anti-Semite, even though he's Jewish himself.
But their idea was to get Palin out of there because she's so overshadowing everything.
Hillary had pulled out.
Hillary had pulled out because she didn't want to appear with somebody wearing a skirt.
I'm not kidding.
She didn't want to appear with somebody wearing a skirt.
She didn't want to appear with somebody that – well, Hillary's excuse was I – she doesn't have my stature.
Why should I show up with her?
Here's the real question.
And forget Malcolm Honlein and his bunch for a second.
We hear all about the Democrats from the Democrats, particularly Obama, that we need unity.
And we're going to unify this country.
We're going to make the world love us again.
Now, what this was, was a protest over Iran.
And I've known Malcolm since 1993, 15 years.
And all of this talk about terrorism for all this time, Malcolm Honeline and his organization have been zeroing in on Iran.
They know and trying to get the word out that Iran is the official state sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East and around the world.
Al-Qaeda satellite operations and so forth.
They're all together.
But, you know, Iran's there funding a lot of these people.
Has been for a long time, long before even Mahmoud Ahmadinezad came on the scene.
But here's the point of this.
The point of all this.
I mean, you get mad at the group chickening out and not wanting any partisan politics there.
If this country, if the Democrat Party and its extreme cook fringe cannot even unify, if we can't unify, we can't stand as one against the threat posed by Iran, then what the hell can we unify on?
And why the hell should we be worrying about crossing the aisle and trying to break bread, make contact, find some sort of commonality with people like this who would rather embarrass Sarah Palin and deny her a chance to show up and protest Iran or this group, APEC, pressure them, the American Conference of Major Jewish Organizations, I'm sorry.
What is there that we have in common with these people?
How do you compromise with people who hate the country?
How do you compromise with people who want this country to lose military conflicts?
The Soros crowd, the far left.
How do you compromise with them?
Why do you want to walk across the aisle and meet them halfway?
Or even partial way?
Why don't you instead just want to wipe them out politically?
Well, that's what you and I want to do.
And this, of course, is what we will continue to focus on.
Now, I want to get all of this stuff coming up in greater detail, but I want to get to the Wall Street Journal op-ed today that the, I told you it was coming yesterday.
We've linked to it at rushlimbaugh.com.
If you haven't seen it, I want to thank everybody who has written me kudos about this.
Not just you from the audience, but several friends of mine and the conservative media just all over the place.
The response has been heartwarming.
And the real bottom line, I tell you what, I think what this purpose of the Spanish language ad was in part.
Of course, it was to distort what I had said and what McCain's views on illegal immigration are.
But I actually think that there was an attempt by the Obama people, and this is not my ego speaking.
I'm analyzing this politically.
I really think that part of what they hoped was that McCain would race to the microphones and denounce me, thereby marginalizing me as a commentator, participant, what have you, in the remaining days of the election.
This is why the rapid response, I had to go to the airport at 4 o'clock, wheels up on Wednesday afternoon for Austin.
And I was doing this rapidly, responding to these reporters and giving a truth out there.
We actually started it before the program was over.
We started researching here what I had actually said, how it had been lifted out of context.
We found the morning update from 2006.
The other, it took us a little while to find it, the NAFTA comments and a transcript of a radio show in 1993 responding to a caller.
But it wasn't until I was in the air on the way to Austin that I was able to get this information to these reporters.
We were doing emails and firing all this stuff out of 49,000 feet, folks, and I got the computer out there and HR, he's going with me, and he's sitting to my left.
And every time we got a favorable response of Politico or Jake Tapper or whatever, I said, okay, this is working.
Our version of this is getting out there now.
And so it did.
And this proves that it's a rapid response.
A lot of people don't think rapid response is called for because it's defensive.
Well, sometimes, yeah, if they're lying about you, it depends on the degree and what's happening, what the stakes are.
In this case, I couldn't sit around and let this go because I've been through this too much.
You know, the whole distortion of the Donovan McNabb thing, the Michael J. Fox situation, both those are fabulous examples of exactly what Obama tried here.
And this is the tactic of the left, and it has been, and I've been used to it.
I've been victimized by it so damn much, and I can recognize it before it even shows up.
So when I saw this ad, I'm saying, wait a minute, I didn't say that.
I know I didn't say that this way.
You just knew it.
So the research began, and we were able to dig it out.
It really, folks, it's paramountly obvious here.
Any candidate like Barack Obama who employs the tactics of the old segregationists of the 50s and 60s is unworthy of the presidency.
Barack Obama is unworthy.
He is stoking racism.
He personally is doing it.
And of course, he knows it well.
One of his mentors is a flaming, out-of-control, reactionary, radical racist, Jeremiah Wright.
He and his wife have learned it well.
They know exactly how to do it.
And he got his training as a Chicago street thug, community organizer.
He doesn't just get people, he gets people out of the way.
He has a history of getting his opponents off the ballot or out of the way.
So anyway, all well, that ends well.
We got some Evanson drive-by media commentary about this.
I'll show you the value of rapid response.
Last night hardball, a montage of correspondent David Schuster's report.
Obama, though, is also running a false ad, and this one is on Spanish television.
The spot quotes Rush Limbaugh saying Mexicans are stupid and unqualified.
The narrator then says, John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces, one that lies to get your vote and another that continues the failed policies of George Bush.
The problem is that John McCain and Rush Limbaugh don't agree on the issue of comprehensive immigration reform.
And today a McCain campaign spokesperson said, quote, it is offensive and dishonest for Barack Obama to lie.
Now, in that case, Schuster does not get the truth out about how my comments were lifted and taken out of context.
But he does get right that McCain and I don't have any agreement on this issue at all, other than, you know, as I write in the piece, I'm gratified that McCain has now come out and said that he's for securing the borders first before trying anything else.
This is Howie Kurtz last night on CNN.
The commercial talks about intolerance, making Hispanics feel marginalized in this country we love so much.
Putting up quotes from Rush Limbaugh about, quote, stupid and unskilled Mexicans.
But the Arizona senator bucked his own party in pushing legislation to create a path to citizenship for those here illegally.
And the Limbaugh comments are taken out of context.
During the NAFTA debate 15 years ago, he wasn't talking about immigrants.
He was saying that uneducated and unskilled Americans would lose their jobs to stupid and unskilled Mexicans working in Mexico.
And Limbaugh, by the way, was one of McCain's loudest critics during the primaries.
So this is they're nailing this ad.
The bottom line is they're nailing this ad.
Last night, CNN, Anderson Cooper, 180, talking with Candy Crowley.
Spanish language ads linking McCain and Limbaugh have been directly pointed out as being unfair.
Absolutely, and directly wrong.
I mean, there have been several people that have looked at this ad and compared to the actual record.
Rush Limbaugh was taken out of context.
The tie between Rush Limbaugh and John McCain is non-existent, and yet that's what this ad does.
Rush Limbaugh was taken a fan.
Rush Limbaugh was not a big fan of John McCain for a long time, as I recall.
Absolutely.
Yeah, so this is why Rapid Response works.
Here's last night, Wolf Blitzer, elitist member of the media, as described by lady Lynn Forrester de Rothschild, talking with Buffalo Bill Bennett.
And Bob or Wolf said it's a pretty tough ad.
Well, Buffalo's in part of his email address.
Like I have a friend named Al, and his email address, Uncle Big Al.
You know, whatever and so forth.
So that's how I use these people.
A couple I know, Penny and Richard, they call them Penrich.
What I call them.
If you're going to have an email address that has that, then that's how I'm going to address you.
Here's Bill Bennett.
Wolf said, you know, it's a pretty tough ad, basically suggesting what McCain and Limbaugh, they're now partners in this anti-immigration mood out there.
It's a pretty tough ad.
If there are two people who had diametrically opposed views on immigration, it was Rush Limbaugh and John McCain to be linking those two.
This was probably Rush Limbaugh's least favorite presidential candidate.
So, I mean, I know people love to hate Rush Limbaugh, my friend, but this is scurrilous and ridiculous.
And they also had the forehead on last night, Paul Bogalo with Blitzer.
And this is what McGala said.
Limbaugh and McCain had opposed views, and that is true.
But now McCain has come around to the Limbaugh point of view.
Apparently, Limbaugh is since the passing of Jerry Follows, most important person in the Republican Party, is perfectly fair because the fact is today, because of pressure from the right and Limbaugh, McCain has the same position on immigration as Rush Limbaugh.
He does not.
But this is, here's a campaign operative, the forehead, doing what campaign operatives do, and that's Rip McCain.
There's no similarity to McCain and me on the immigration issue.
The one thing he has moderated on is he's for open borders now, so securing the border rather than before starting anything else.
But anyway, that's let's see.
One more.
One more.
Here's Contessa Brewer of MSNBC talking to Democrats, strategerist Keith Boykin.
Now, this is another lib defending the ad, even though he can't understand it.
Obama's campaign is trying to tie talker, radio talker Rush Limbaugh and John McCain to the same immigration policy.
So here it is in Spanish trying to reach out to another pivotal block of voters.
And Keith, it's wrong.
Rush Limbaugh and John McCain do not have at all the same stance on immigration.
Well, I have to say, I couldn't hear the ad because it was in Spanish, but I'll tell you this much.
John McCain's position on immigration has changed.
He flip-flopped on the issue.
Last year, he was in favor of an immigration bill that this year he said he wouldn't even vote for.
So I can't say that that ad is wrong because we don't know where John McCain is.
That's not what he said.
He has said if it came out, he'd vote for it again, but he knows that it doesn't have a chance.
He has not moderated on this, but they're trying to say that he has.
Anyway, it ain't going to work.
None of this is going to work.
And on Monday, I just let you know all of this that I have said, monologues, the 2006 morning update from which they lifted the quotes out of context.
We're going to have a Spanish-speaking gentleman say everything I have said about this on Monday in Spanish, not just to the four states Obama's running this pathetic ad, but across the fruited plain.
And we'll be back.
Stay with us.
Well, the market is rebounding today, and it's rebounding around the world.
And one of the reasons it's rebounding is because of this massive, massive bailout or whatever it is that may cost $1 trillion.
Now, folks, I'm all for surges here, as you know.
Surges work, and this one's working.
And I'm all for economic recovery and so forth.
For example, I have a friend, and his 401k earlier this week was down $2,500, $2,600.
Today, he's up $9,000 just because of action today.
I mean, that's huge.
But it bothers me just a little bit that the world is cheering this because you know who's running the financial system right?
Guess what?
Barney Frank, Harry Reid, Dingy Harry all got out of town.
They wanted nothing to do with this.
The president stayed in town.
He canceled a couple of fundraisers.
He was working on this.
But he's the only elected official involved.
Everybody else involved in this is an appointed position, not elected.
The financial elite, Bernanke, Paulson, and these people.
And it's just, you know, it's just a little disconcerting to me when I see the world cheering what they think is the United States going socialist.
With the government taking over everything and running this and that and the other thing.
And Victor Davis Hanson today has a nice post at National Review Online.
And I think, you know, I've been trying to say this the past couple of days in an attempt to explain why what people, what really irritates people, and it's irritated me for a long time, too.
The common theme, set it up by asking you, how many times over your lifetime have you heard politicians and pundits complain that the U.S. personal savings rate is horrible?
You need to save more.
You're not saving enough, even though you're putting money away in a Keo plan or a Sepkio or a 401k or what have you.
Most Americans are investors now, even their pension plans where they work.
And yet we still heard this lament that people aren't saving enough.
We had Senator Hollings.
Too much consuming going on out there.
Wee!
Too much consuming going on out there.
Not enough saving going on out there.
All right, okay, so people save money.
Now, here's Victor Davis Hansen's take on this.
The common theme is the hardworking American who tried to save is being punished by those who used his set-asides to unduly enrich themselves, aided by revolving door politicians who now wanted cash donations from and later good jobs on Wall Street.
And I think this is what really gets the bitter clingers.
Lots of people out there getting rich.
Brokers, hedge fund guys, they walked away.
They left the taxpayer holding the bag on all this.
Americans do not resent the guy who makes it by building a better mousetrap, coming up with a better business, a better idea.
But it's guys like Franklin Reigns and this Daniel Mudd guy.
Or take any of these politicians that go in for $150,000 a year to leave and go to Wall Street or wherever, end up becoming multi-millionaires.
They are the ones who need to be called out.
You know, these people that make money off of your savings, telling you you're not saving enough, they need you to save money so they can charge a little fee for it or what have you, or maybe just loot it, however it works.
I mean, wait till you hear, I went to the Wikipedia entry on Franklin Reigns, and wait till you hear what this guy's life has been, what he did, and how little he was punished for it.
And he's right in bed with Barack Obama.
We'll be back after this.
I'm here.
I'm just, I'm looking at this.
Who we got up there?
We got everybody.
I'm looking at a picture of Obama at Miami University, University of Miami making this speech today.
Robert Rubin right next to him.
Laura DeAndrea Tyson, everybody from the Clinton administration.
Change we can count on now or whatever.
One thing, ladies and gentlemen, here about the cancellation of the Sarah Palin invitation, the rescinding of it by the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.
This is an anti-Iran rally that's scheduled for Monday.
And they invited Hillary.
And Hillary is going to go.
She's a big friend of the organization.
And then they invited Palin.
And that's when Hillary pulled out.
Hillary pulled out on her own.
When Hillary pulled out, it meant that Palin would be the last woman standing in terms of representing a political party.
That's when the Soros Obama team went into action and started putting pressure on the Conference of Presidents of major Jewish organizations.
And there are two other groups that are doing this: the National Coalition to Stop Iran now and the Israel Project.
Now, they're protesting Iran and Mahmoud Ahmadinezad.
So they get Palin off of there, and now they're talking about, well, it finally worked.
What a great thing.
We have a bipartisan event or nonpartisan.
Now, for his purposes, McCain said that Obama chose politics rather than the national interest by sidestepping the opportunity for a bipartisan stand against Iran's nuclear drive.
Obama won't go there.
Obama won't show up at this thing.
Obama will not appear publicly at a protest against Iran.
McCain leveled this charge after the organizers of the Stop Iran Now rally, planned for next Monday in New York, withdrew an invitation to Governor Palin following appeals by Democrats.
In the statement, McCain said, Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue.
Regrettably, that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democrat partisans.
We ought to stand shoulder to shoulder, alike to oppose Ahmadinezad's goal of nuclear-armed Iran.
Senator Obama's campaign had the opportunity to join us.
Senator Obama chose politics rather than the national interest.
What Senator Obama knows, he's exactly right.
What Senator Obama knows is that Sarah Palin's the hottest ticket in town right now.
And anybody who stands next to her is going to pale in comparison, even Obama, if he were to show up, even the Messiah.
So they can't, the great unifiers, they can't even come together in solidarity opposing a nuclear Iran.
But there's another little story here that has tentacles that touch this one.
And I want to pass that story on to you, ladies and gentlemen.
There is a woman by the name of Penny Pritzker.
Penny Pritzker is an heiress to the Hyatt Hotel fortune.
Penny Pritzker was one of the organizers of the $9 million Hollywood fundraiser for Obama earlier this week.
Penny Pritzker, I am told, is hosting a reception for Mahmoud Ahmadinezad at the Grand Hyatt in New York, Grand Central Station, when Ahmadinezad is here to address the United Nations General Assembly.
Now, haven't been able to confirm this.
I've seen it in three different places, but I haven't been able to confirm it.
But if this is true, here you have Penny Pritzker, who's raising money and organizing things for Obama.
Obama refuses to go to an anti-Iran rally and won't let anybody from campaign show up there.
So Sarah Palin gets disinvited.
And then later this month, when Mahmoud comes to address the UN General Assembly, she's hosting a fundraiser, or not a fundraiser, but a reception for him at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York.
Now, this is not unusual.
The last time Fidel Castro was here, Mort Zuckerman hosted a lunch at his apartment in New York and invited a bunch of New York media types to go.
A friend of mine went and asked Castro, do you believe in God?
And got a 30-minute rambling answer reminiscent of Obama, but did not get an answer.
So this is not unprecedented that New York and Chicago elites would like last year.
It was Obama, not Obama, but what's his face, Ahmadinezad invited to Columbia University.
So this is anybody to know this is happening.
I mean, it's not widely known that this is happening.
If a word gets, well, as I say, I've heard it from three different places and not, you know, people that I know trust very well.
But I haven't seen an official on it, like you say.
There hasn't been a press release that I have seen or anything like this.
But if it's true, if it's true, this is an amazing thing for one of Obama's big fundraisers to be hosting a reception for Ahmadinezad a couple weeks, not that Obama's going to be there.
Now, don't misunderstand.
I don't know who's going.
I don't know who's invited a damn thing.
But one of the organizers raising money for Obama, doing a reception for Ahmadinezad, and Obama can't bother to send somebody to an anti-Iran rally.
And by the way, Obama, he's out there trying to prove to Jewish community that he's with him.
You know, that even though he's taking funds from Hamas or Hezbollah, whoever, that he still sides with Israel and so forth.
This is all, this is all highly convoluted stuff out there.
Let's now go to the audio soundbites.
We're going to go back to, we'll start here with the number 10.
McCain is digging in now.
This is an ad going after Jim Johnson, Fannie Mae, Jim Johnson's connection to Obama.
What Obama says it would be unacceptable for executives of these institutions to earn a windfall is not what he does.
Meet Jim Johnson, former Fannie Mae CEO.
Fannie cooked the books, and Johnson made millions.
Then Obama asked him to pick his VP and raise thousands for his campaign.
Barack Obama.
More empty words.
I'm John McCain, and I approve this message.
I like this.
You know, these ads, whoever's running these ads are getting out there pretty quickly.
Here's new Senator McCain ad, by the way.
I'm John McCain, and I approved this message.
Obama has no background in economics.
Who advises him?
The Post says it's Franklin Reigns for advice on mortgage and housing policy.
Shocking.
Under Reigns, Fannie Mae committed extensive financial fraud.
Reigns made millions.
Fannie Mae collapsed.
Taxpayers stuck with the bill.
Barack Obama.
Bad advice.
Bad instincts.
Not ready to lead.
Then McCain.
This is good.
They're listening to somebody.
I don't know who, but they're listening somebody.
And they're hitting back.
They're hitting hard in McCain and Green Bay today on the Packers hosting the Cowboys over the weekend.
What is that, a Sunday night game?
Yes, it's a Sunday night game.
So McCain's going into Green Bay today.
Speech on the economy.
First soundbite.
While Fannie Mae was betraying the public trust, somehow its former CEO had managed to gain my opponent's trust to the point where Senator Obama actually put him in charge of his vice presidential search.
Another CEO for Fannie Mae, Mr. Reigns, has been advising Senator Obama on housing policy.
This even after Fannie Mae was found to have committed, quote, extensive financial fraud under his leadership.
Like Mr. Johnson, Mr. Reigns walked away.
Guess what?
Tens of millions of dollars.
Obama is in the middle of all of this corruption, says McCain.
Heard a lot of words from Senator Obama over the course of this campaign, but maybe just this once, he could spare us the lectures and admit to his own poor judgment in contributing to these problems.
The crisis on Wall Street started in the Washington culture of lobbying and influence peddling, and he was right square in the middle of it.
Yes, he was.
Senator McCain coming out with both barrels.
What's this?
Protesters interrupt a Messiah rally in Florida.
20 or it looked like more than that.
They're still driving or still walking them out of there.
It looks like there's at least 20 or 30 protesters, and they're black, and they're carrying signs that are too small to read, but they're walking them out of there now.
And Obama is, look, he's up there with Larry Wasserman's daughter.
All right, let's get.
Is that what he said?
Let's get back.
Get back to.
Yeah, it is work listening to Obama's speech these days.
It is work being at an Obama rally.
But I mean, this is, and this is on CNN.
Their cameras caught it.
Black people protesting the Messiah.
They're in trouble.
You know, this really, they're down in the electoral polls, electoral vote polls.
They're down in state by state.
They're down nationally.
This is not where they thought they would be.
And this is why, folks, the drive-bys are revved up.
The drive-bys have to take McCain and Palin out.
They are too invested in this, in the Obama candidacy.
It's going to get brutal.
It's going to get vicious.
And even more so than it already is.
Sandra Bernhardt.
Sandra Bernhardt.
I wish I could repeat a joke somebody told me about her, but I can't.
I can't even hint.
It is too obscene, but it's too funny too.
It's so good.
She was at a roast for Jerry Stiller, one of these Friars roasts.
And she didn't say anything.
She just got up and did a lewd dance routine to some song.
And Jeffrey Ross, another smut-mouthed comedian, got up and said, I can't tell you.
But it was hilarious.
Anyway, she's got some new video play, some convoluted thing going on in New York.
And Sandra Bernhard has warned Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang raped by some of Sandra's big black brothers.
Sandra Bernhardt, warning Sarah Palin, stay out of Manhattan or you're going to get gang raped by some of Sandra's big black brothers.
And the people working with Sandra Bernhardt, his current production that she's in, and the reviews and some online websites think this is as funny as it can be.
Nobody's outraged by it.
How racist is it?
It's beyond racist, Snurdy.
We're talking here with the promising a threat of gang rape by black guys.
Okay, well, I mean, of course, there's the rape, and here's a woman promising another woman's going to get gang raped.
And this woman is a liberal feminist.
You know, one of the things they hate most is rape, and here she promised.
I see your point.
Why couldn't she have an army of white guys to go out and rape Palin?
She got to have an army of big black guys, big black brothers, to go gang rape Sarah Palin.
I'm telling you, this is who they are.
What is there to walk across the aisle for here?
What's the common ground here?
What's the point in even trying to establish quote-unquote dialogue with lunatics like this?
Quick timeout.
We'll be right back and roll.
I'm going to get your phone calls coming up soon.
Okay, now they're flashing the signs that the CNN, they're replaying the protest.
They're replaying the protests.
And is the Messiah mad at him?
Is the Messiah getting mad at him asking him to shut up or something?
We can't hear what he's saying because we have to listen to me.
Much more important than listening to Barry.
But they had a close-up of the signs.
They had a close-up of the, it said blacks against Obama and then endorsed by the KKK.
What?
Endorsed by the KKK?
These signs are endorsed by the.
Oh, okay.
Wait.
Okay.
Write this down.
Write this down for me.
I can't.
I'm not going to read.
They're feeding the information of what it says about the signs of the Obama protest.
Let me clear something up.
Now, this is the fourth bit of information I've had on this reception for Ahmedineizad at the Grand Hyatt in New York and later this month when Ahmadineizad's here for the UN.
Now I'm being told there's no evidence that Penny Pritzker knew about this, but she does own the Grand Hyatt.
But apparently there's no evidence that Penny Pritzker knew about it.
The invitation to this reception is called Has Not One God Created Us?
And the Quakers and Mennonites are the ones who have invited Ahmadinezad to the meeting is what I am now hearing.
But Penny Pritzker did not, or didn't, no evidence that she knew about this.
All right, Michelle My Bell Obama.
In fact, let's 15 first, Miguel.
15 first on the audio soundbites.
We told you about this yesterday.
Everybody's got the video in the audio now, but here it is on our program.
We may decide to do something that is different from Barack Obama, but we should decide that based on our self-interest and what we think is best.
And the only way that will happen is that if people are paying attention and neighbors are talking to neighbors and family members are talking to family members, people shouldn't make a decision this time based on, I like that guy.
Or, you know, she's cute.
You know, about me.
All right, now that didn't get reported.
But you're nobody voting for you.
How can you put it there and you say, don't vote for her because she's cute?
Who's voting for you, Michelle My Bell?
And by the way, when you say don't just vote for something because I like that guy, what other reason is there to vote for Obama?
What do his supporters know about him other than I like that guy?
What's wrong with voting for somebody you like?
We like Palin.
We're going to vote for her.
We also like what she happens to stand for.
Why am I throwing it?
You know, I'm getting so used to wadding up pieces of paper about Obama, but I need this because there's other stuff on it.
Okay, so she's opened her mouth again here, folks.
And this morning on Good Morning America, Claire Shipman, talking to Michelle Obama, said, What do you make in general, though, of the debate about, you know, five children in the vice presidency?
Is that sexist?
Is that a sexist question?
Sarah Palin has the choices.
She has the ability to make those choices.
That's the kind of progress that we have to make in this country.
It's one thing to be a governor or to be a lawyer or to be, you know, married to someone who has resources.
It's another thing to be a teacher or a bus driver, you know, or social worker or stay-at-home mom when your husband's working at a plant.
Oh, isn't this just, you know, can I translate that for you, folks?
Sarah Palin has opportunities other women don't have.
Sarah Palin has chances that other women don't have.
And here's Michelle back to it again.
She was in Zanesville, Ohio, remember, urging those women not to do what she's done.
Don't go work for law firms and don't go make a lot of money.
Stay in the service industries in your little town here and don't make a whole lot of money.
Sarah Palin's had choices.
She has the ability to make those choices.
That's kind of progress we have to make.
It's one thing to be a governor, to be a lawyer, to be married, you know, to marry somebody that has resources, but it's another thing to be a teacher, bus driver, you know, social worker, stay-at-home mom, your husband's working at a plant.
Why, you can't have five kids and do that.
This is Michelle, my bellow.
They just cannot.
It's just in the DNA.
They just have such resentment, they cannot avoid going to class environment.
Brief timeout, back with more after this.
First hour already in the can.
And I really intended, folks, I really intended to grab a couple phone calls.
But so I promise in the next hour, that will happen.
Sit tight.
