Time Text
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
We are having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And I I'm that I'm gonna tell you why we're having fun here, because we're getting the truth out.
You know, this is a program exclusively devoted to the truth, a relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
And I don't say this on a bragging, even though I can because it ain't bragging if you can do it.
I'm just pointing out I'm watching everywhere here.
There are there's one exception, and it's a couple people on Fox, and one person on CNBC that's getting this right.
Other than that, this program and other similar programs on talk radio are the only place you can go to get the truth about what is happening here, what precipitated this, what caused it, and what the solutions are, and what happened yesterday in the bailout vote.
And that's why we're having fun.
I am jazzed here to be able to provide the truth to people, which is what we always do, and it's such, you know, it's frustrating, but it's also comical to watch these so-called wizards of smart, the so-called elite media.
They're not elite in any way you would define it, except a superiorist attitude.
They're not elite in social standing, they're not elite in income, they're not elite in job status, they're not elites, period.
But they are all on the same page, and they are all blinded.
They have they have uh blinders on, they are not interested in truth.
Truth eludes them because they don't seek it.
I mean, the truth, not even afraid of these guys in the drive-by is because they're not trying to find truth.
Now, let me, by the way, here's the phone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882 is the number.
And if you want to go email, it's L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Here's another reason why I'm I'm having fun.
As I alluded briefly in the previous hour, do you do you all understand the glorious opportunity this whole thing presents?
Conservatism.
We're just absent a conservative leader, but we've got the greatest opportunity we're gonna have, and I don't know how long.
Every disaster, every aspect of this disaster can be laid at the feet of liberalism.
The blame, you we can show how this has happened time and time again every time liberalism has unchecked power and unchecked control to assert itself.
People are feeling miserably in terms of economics, they're they are feeling the crisis.
They're being told by the drive-by's it's a Republicans' fault, it's liberalism's fault.
If there's somebody out there who could make this case, we could wipe out Obama in a landslide, we could we could retake the House and retake the Senate.
It's just sitting there.
It we've got it like all state.
We're in good hands here.
It's right, it's right, it's right in the middle of our hands here.
And yet our presidential nominees out there saying bipartisanship is tough.
Bipartisanship isn't tough, bipartisanship is gutless.
Bipartisanship is just like liberalism.
It's the most gutless choice you can make.
What's tough is standing on and for your principles when you and they are under assault.
That's what's hard.
That's what's challenging.
Bipartisanship is easy.
You simply compromise part of what you believe to go along with people who want to destroy you and say, look at me, I can get along with the other side.
I could do that.
I could do that twenty-five times a day.
We all could.
That doesn't take any effort.
Just like it doesn't take any effort to be liberal.
Now I want to explain something I said in a previous hour in talking about the blame game here, because you know, I I sit here and I smile at the opportunity it presents me.
I still cringe at part of it, though.
So much of the so-called conservative media is out there saying, with their hands ringing, both sides are at fault.
This is uh this is the bipartisan problem.
Both sides have nothing to be proud of today, both sides wrong.
Both sides are not at fault.
Both sides are not to blame.
I'll give you the names and you tell me what their ideology is.
Barney Frank, Franklin Reigns.
Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Jamie Gorellick, Jim Johnson, Janet Reno.
Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed.
Tell me, are any of them Republicans?
Any of them Democrats?
Yeah.
Are any of them liberals?
Are any of them conservatives?
No.
There's one ideology here that's to blame here.
And I said the only thing in the last hour, the only thing that the Republicans screwed up was when they conducted oversight hearings in 2004 when the regulator came in and spelled out the problems.
Four years ago at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Republicans didn't do anything about it.
Well, here's why.
As was pointed out yesterday, this whole subprime thing, and the whole concept of lending to people who never ever stood a chance of paying back the loans over the term of the loan.
It's a racial thing.
It's a minority thing.
You listen to what Barney Frank was saying yesterday and Maxine Waters and Lacey Clay, the things we pointed out they said four years ago.
It's clear what this was about.
The liberals use race to get away with everything because it stifles any legitimate criticism.
Imagine 2004.
If those hearings had occurred and the Republicans, it's okay, we're going to clean this mess out, and we're going to shut this down and we're going to Franklin Reigns is gone, we're going to do this and that and the other thing, we're going to straighten this out.
You know what would have happened?
Barney Frank, Lacey Clay, Maxine Waters would have brought into the committee room an endless parade of minorities looking as bedraggled and near homeless as they could make them.
And they'd be blaming Chris Shays and all these other Republicans on that committee for throwing these people out of their homes.
And the Republicans knew that.
And they said, why do we have no reason to tackle this?
We're just going to be real, we'll be defeated in our own re-election.
So this whole business of pandering to minorities, affordable housing, meaning they get a house without being able to pay for it or even having to pay for it, uh, shuts off any attempt to correct it.
This is this is this is a stratagem that the left uses constantly and frequently.
It's on display now in the presidential campaign.
If Barack Obama loses, it's strictly because he's black.
It's not because his policies are reckless and dangerous, and not because he's incompetent.
It's not because his associations and he likely are nothing but extreme radical leftists who want to remake this country as socialists.
Oh, no, no, it wouldn't have anything to do with that.
Just because this country's racist and black.
Now, as to let's check the emails, if people disagree with me, understand this.
Well, no, I don't understand it.
After 20 years plus, I don't understand how anybody would disagree with me on anything.
You always know that at the end of the day I've proven right on this stuff.
So I mentioned yesterday that the Pelosi Democrat Congress got exactly what she wanted.
She wanted this bill defeated, and she wanted the media to blaming Republicans for it, and Barney Frank and the guys went out there on cue, blamed Republicans, blame McCain, the AP today with a big story, bailout failure, lends credence to McCain's incompetence.
He flew into Washington, couldn't get it done.
It's a Republican problem.
They got exactly what they wanted.
They got Armageddon, they got crisis, they got destruction, they've got uh Great Depression too, and they've got the media out there running interference for them, claiming that it's a Republican problem.
This is election year politics.
New York Times today, lawmakers grope for resolution as they attempt to avoid economic calamity.
In the end, only 65 Republicans, just a third of those voting, backed the plan, despite personal pleas from President Bush and McCain, by contrast, 140 Democrats or 60% voted in favor.
Well, that's not the story.
The story is that 40% of Democrats voted against it.
Not the percentage of Democrats that voted for it.
Forty percent of Democrats voted against the bill.
And the Republicans saw that happening.
And a lot of these Democrats voting against it are in highly contested re-election races in their districts.
And when the Republicans saw these guys voting against it, they knew Phil full well what was going on.
Democrats didn't go out and campaign for re-election.
I voted against that bill.
You know it, I know it.
You weren't for it.
I heard what you said, re-elect me.
And then it even says people's re-elections played into this to a much larger degree than I would have imagined, said Representative Deborah Price, a former member of the Republican leadership who was retiring.
They saw it.
They saw that re-election was what this was about.
The Democrats voting against why should the Republicans put their necks in the noose for this when the Democrats in tight races were going to vote against it in order to get re-elected.
And why were they going to vote against it in order to get re-elected?
Because they knew even in Democrat districts, their constituents were mightily opposed to this.
So they saw what was what was coming.
Also from the prowler today at the American Spectator.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ordered her majority whip Jim Cleburn to essentially not do his job in the run up to the vote yesterday.
Clyburn was not whipping the votes that you would have expected him to, in part because he was uncomfortable doing it, in part because we didn't want the push for votes to be successful, said a Democrat leadership aid.
All we needed was enough to potentially get us over the finish line, but we wanted the Republicans to be the ones to do it.
This was not going to be a Democrat passed bill if the Speaker had anything to say about it.
Quote unquote Democrat leadership aid.
This was not going to be, and it never was going to be a Democrat past bill.
They were going to hang this around the Republicans' necks, just like they attempted to lose in Iraq and hang that around Bush's neck.
During the floor vote, House Majority Leader Stenny Hoyer and House Democrat conference chair Rom Emanuel could be seen monitoring the vote on the floor, gauging whether or not more Democrat votes were needed.
Kleiburn had expressed concerns of being asked to press members of the black and Hispanic caucuses on a bill he was certain those constituencies would not want passed.
Do you realize the Congressional Black Caucus voted against this?
It worked out.
We didn't have a dog in this fight.
We negotiated.
We gave the White House a bill.
It was up to the Republicans to get the 100 plus votes they needed, and they couldn't do it.
Said another Democrat leadership aide.
Ram Emanuel, who by the way served on the board as Freddie Mack, one of the agencies that precipitated the crisis, had no misgivings about taking a leadership role in tanking the bill.
He was cheerleading us along.
He was mothering the votes, said the aid we wanted enough to put the pressure on the Republicans, and Congressman Emmanuel was charged with making it close enough.
He did a great job.
They just fell a little short.
So contrary to everybody badgering the Republicans for saying they got upset and changed their vote because of Pelosi's speech.
That's that may be what they said, but that's not what changed their votes.
They simply were paying attention.
They were simply paying attention to what the Democrats were doing on the House floor, how they were voting, and they saw what was coming.
They saw this whole thing is going to be hung around their neck.
Everybody up there knew that a vast 80% of the American people want to know part of this.
That's why Pelosi wanted to hang it around the Republicans' neck if she could.
Now, regardless of what CNN, the New York Times or the Washington Post might say about yesterday's vote, the Democrat leadership knew exactly where they were.
They knew the math just didn't add up.
They went ahead and they held the vote.
The Dow plunged 778 points.
Some members of the majority have gone around saying that the Democrat leadership was being a little less than honest about how many votes they had.
They knew their count and where we were, and they knew it wasn't enough.
This is an indictment.
They knew they were going to lose.
They knew and they still went ahead, Pelosi did and trashed the market with this.
Here are some vote tallies that are interesting.
The number of additional votes needed to pass the bailout was not many.
They needed twelve.
The number of Democrats on Barney Frank's committee who voted no, twelve.
The number of Democrats total who voted no on the plan, ninety-five.
Had Barney Frank been able to get his committee members to vote, or Pelosi, the Democrats, or had Barack Obama bothered to pick up the phone to support the plan that he said he favored, it would have passed.
AIDS to Obama said he uh had not directly reached out to try to sway any House Democrats who oppose the measure.
Democrats had the votes to make this pass.
They didn't want it to pass with their votes.
Being the majority, they wanted to hang this around the uh the necks of the Republicans.
Quick time out.
We'll be back, and we'll work some of your phone calls in when we get back, plus some sound bites, so sit tight.
John Boehner, the uh House Republican leader, put out a statement today.
The presidential candidate's support for increasing the FDIC cap is welcome news.
Increasing the FDIC cap is a proposal put on the table by Roy Blunt and House Republicans, but ruled out by Democrats during the negotiations that led to yesterday's unsuccessful vote.
So what Boehner is saying here is hey, we tried we tried to up the FDIC insurance cap from 100 grand to 250, but the Democrats said no.
Now we're gonna let it be part of the bill.
So today Obama is out claiming it's his idea and wants it in the next bill, wants his the president to do it, and McCain's out there saying it's his idea too.
When it was the Republicans' idea and it was thrown out by the uh the Democrats.
Interesting piece from the Politico, by the way, who wrote this?
Want to make sure I properly credit the Ben Smith and Glenn somebody.
Glenn uh well, it didn't it didn't show up.
Thrush didn't show up right.
Meanwhile, neither candidate, neither presidential candidate, appears to have fully grappled with the force that brought the House bill down.
It's deep unpopularity.
Many of the no voters are members of both parties facing tough re-election campaigns.
Many challengers of these guys announced that they would vote no in the hope of drawing a contrast with a threatened incumbent.
Boy, if that there's so much profundity in the news today.
Neither candidate appears to have fully grappled and understood the force that brought the House bill down, its deep unpopularity.
That's just, you know, that's a side light.
That's a no big deal.
So the public doesn't want to screw them.
What do they know?
Is the attitude of Washington on this?
And they failed to grapple.
It's just McCain's out there talking about bipartisanship.
It's a tough thing.
I'm going to go to the phones.
But when we go to the sound bites, folks, I got the most incredible sound bites for you.
Kids in um North Korea and Cuba.
Saddam Hussein's older rock and other regimes were taught to sing songs to their leader.
There's a video out that uh says that the where it was shot.
Fact, you know what, since I brought it up, go ahead and grab the bites.
It's 363738.
The beginning of the video says that uh the video took place at a neighbor's house in Venice, California, as if it were some kind of spontaneous grassroots effort by a bunch of musically inclined neighborhood families.
But the video itself doesn't support that.
We obviously can't play the video here.
We can link to it at Rush Limbaugh.com.
The kids have t-shirts with what looks like a professionally designed logo, and they had to have spent many hours with these kids teaching them to sing in harmony.
A song that doesn't sound like it was written by some random parent.
The indoctrination of children, three bites of children singing about Barack Obama.
We're gonna spread happiness.
We're gonna spread read them.
Obama's gonna change it.
Obama's gonna leave them.
We're gonna change it.
And we arrange.
We're gonna change the world.
This is music and lyrics by uh Lily Campbell, age nine.
Children uh got together to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election.
This is in California, have a partial list of those who helped produce this quote unquote grassroots effort.
You want to hear the names?
Jeff Zucker, president and CEO of NBC Universal, postproducer and former choreographer Holly Schiffer, motion picture camera operator, steady cam specialist Peter Rosenfeld.
He appropriately enough worked in uh Yes Man, a movie about a guy challenging himself to say yes to everything for an entire year.
Darren Moran, another motion picture industry professional who just finished filming Land of the Lost, and Andy Bloominville, Hollywood film editor.
Grassroots, my ass.
Grassroots Hollywood people here, writing, scripting, producing this video.
Here's another one.
Twenty-two children between five and twelve gathered.
Oops, not gonna be able to squeeze this in before the break.
I just have to have you hold on through the break.
We got two more.
Uh ages five to twelve, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election, and they are singing the praises of and their devotion to the Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful.
We will yes, it's true.
You should see the video.
Okay, here's some more to Crumb Crunchers wailing away a supposed grassroots effort, singing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election.
When in fact, Jex Jeff Zucker of NBC and a bunch of Hollywood types put this whole thing together.
Now's the moment where each voice you sing, sing with all your heart.
For our children, for our families, make you so joy as one.
Sing for joy and sing abundant peace, courage, justice, love.
Well, there you go.
Twenty-two kids there, age five to twelve, little crumb crunchers, and it's just a little grassroots effort here, of course, put together by the neighborhood.
Which it was not.
It was put together by Hollywood people.
Uh nations all joined as one.
John Lennon.
Imagine there were no countries.
Imagine there was no religion.
They had uh what we call it uniforms, but uh, let's see, they've got they uh have t-shirts with what looks like a professionally designed logo.
Obviously, they had to spend a lot of time teaching these kids harmony.
They're I mean, well, how old are they?
They're between five and twelve.
So uh, you know, you have you have here uh ladies and gentlemen.
Uh this is this is what happens in North Korea.
This would happen in Saddam's older rock, this would happen to the Soviet Union.
The little kids in school sang to the leader.
They sang to the leader.
They were forced to the kids don't know what they're talking about here.
They're five to five to twelve.
Here's the final song.
This song called Yes We Can.
Yes, we can.
And yes, we can.
And yes, we can.
We're able to understand that.
I was not, and I've got the transcript.
Were you able to understand that?
Basic lyrics were yes, we can lift each other up in peace and love and hope, change, change.
Uh I d and I watched a video.
I did not see any uh little red book with Obama quotations in there.
The Yes We Can Manual.
I didn't, I didn't see you're Chairman Ma, right?
I did not uh see any of that.
Yes, we can.
Nations all joined as one.
Sing for joy, sing abundant Peace, courage, justice, hope, peace, love, hope, change, change.
Kids five to twelve.
Little crumb crunchers, skulls full of mush being polluted and perverted by a bunch of Hollywood pro-Obamaite liberals.
All right, let's go to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
We're going to start in Potomac, Maryland.
This is Kathy, and you're up first.
It's great to have you here.
Oh, Dr. Limbaugh, your lecture today is brilliant.
And I thank you for taking my call.
Thank you very much.
I believe there is so much anger and distress distrust, cynicism out there over the fraud perpetrated at Freddie Mac and Fanny May, and especially at the failure of congressional leadership, that what we have is a crisis of confidence in government, not the markets.
The foxes are putting themselves in charge of the hen house, and the hen house is where the golden eggs would be laid if the government got out of the way.
That is so damn perceptive.
I must applaud you.
Well, thank you, Dr. Limbaugh.
I learn at the feet of the master.
I think that's a I think that's a great way to put it a crisis of confidence in government.
Not in the markets.
There's got to be some of that.
Kathy, because the drive-by's and the and the and the Democrats for the last two weeks have been drumming that up.
Remember now, for the last um what can we say, six years or five at least?
The Democrats and the media have been talking recession, recession, recession, recession, unemployment, unemployment.
They have been trying to convince people we are in a recession when we're not even close to one for five or six years.
Some people have obviously bought it.
Some people have believed that uh Obama, our better days are behind us.
Some people obviously believe this.
But the vast majority of people who are contacting members of Congress don't buy it.
They are they are they're ticked off about this, and it they i their anger is at government.
You're exactly you're exactly right.
Those lines must have been burning up on Capitol Hill yesterday because it took me a long time to reach Barney Frank's office, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, my own representative, Chris Van Holland.
I tried them throughout the morning and the afternoon until I got through.
Barney Frank's office actually hung up on me after I politely suggested that he do the honorable thing and resign.
And then they said, oh, the Republicans then should resign because they were in charge for twelve years, and then she just hung up.
The others at least listened, but I could tell they were under considerable strain yesterday from all the calls.
Let me tell you something what's happening out there today.
Barney Frank has written a piece in the Boston Herald, which is the the quote unquote conservative paper in Boston, blaming talk radio.
And another uh yeah, Brian Maloney has that has this at his uh radio equalizer blog, his website.
There's another Democrat from California, nobody's ever heard of, Sam Farr, F-A-R-R, who's blaming me.
Barney Frank's blaming talk radio in general.
Sam Farr blames me and all the other Kool-Aid drinkers.
And I said yesterday, they're gonna blame me to get around.
I snurdly asked if they blame you yet.
I said no, it'll happen tomorrow.
It actually, it actually did happen uh today.
By the way, Kathy, thanks much for the call.
You might want to listen to this.
Barney Frank asked for an opportunity to address this audience.
Again, you might have might have had some trouble understanding that Barney Frank essentially saying that it's Bush's fault for not reigning him in, not raining Barney Frank.
Barney Frank doesn't know anything about banking.
Hell he doesn't know anything about a prostitution ring being run in his own basement under his own nose.
How do you know about they can fix parking tickets, but that's about it.
So it's the Republicans' fault for not stopping Barney Frank in this uh in this whole mess.
It's it's it is funny to watch how they turn every thing that happens into blame for the Republicans.
What's maddening about it is when our so-called conservative intelligentsia media takes a bite out of that apple and starts joining the chorus.
Barbara in Lexington, Kentucky.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Never better.
Thank you.
Well, I've been listener for quite some time, I think, since the first Clinton election, and uh but anyway, um calling the EIB today so I can get some education because that's exactly what you do is you educate us every day on the things that we need to know because we're not gonna get it anywhere else.
Thank you, madam.
And what I need to know, I I think I probably missed it, and I just don't have the information, but where is the seven hundred billion dollars coming from?
I mean, is it money that we already have in our government, or is it money that we're gonna have to borrow?
I mean, where is it coming from?
What I have found in the in the past when people actually want to learn is when they are steered in the direction of where they figure it out themselves rather than if they're told.
So let me ask you a couple questions.
All right.
Every year we have a budget deficit that is recorded to be $300 billion to $400 billion, sometimes $500 billion.
Do you know obviously what a deficit is.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Have you heard in recent years, last say, seven, eight, ten years that we've had a budget annual budget surplus?
Yes.
During the Clinton years, we were supposed to have a surplus to some degree, weren't we?
Yeah, forget what it was, but it it it it never it was a surplus on paper.
What I mean is, since the Bush administration took office, and budgets have been submitted.
Has any budget been balanced?
Or has any budget shown that we will take in more money than we spend?
No.
All right.
So therefore, the last six, seven, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen years.
We have always spent more than we have.
True.
True.
So there isn't any pot of unspent money even equaling ten cents to give to the mortgage lenders.
So the 700 billion obviously is going to have to be either printed or borrowed from the Federal Reserve.
Now, obviously, you are wise enough to understand the compounding problem posed by this.
The national debt gets a little larger, the federal deficit, however they handle this on the books.
I mean, your question is where's it coming from?
We're going to borrow it.
We may go to the ChICOM, say, hey, will you guys buy some more T bills?
But the problem is that T bills here are like a roller coaster because of all this.
The ChICOMs uh I mean, they they own a tremendous amount of our debt.
If they ever call it in, we're sunk.
We're sunk.
They won't do it because they won't get it.
Uh but they own a lot of our debt.
So uh which that that'll be talked about at some point down the road.
So we're gonna have to print it.
We're gonna have to borrow it from someplace.
Well, I certainly thank you so much for your time and giving me some information to chew on as I listen to all these people who try to tell us all the stuff that's supposed to be going on with the stock market in the world.
All those people, you need to understand something about all those people, because I and the audience know who you mean by all those people.
All those people believe that the beginning, the middle, and the end of everything important, everything that makes people happy, everything that solves a problem is government.
And so there is never any criticism institutionally of government in a deal like this from people to whom government is the religion, to whom government is the god.
And I'm talking about the Democrat Party and most in the media.
So, Barbara, thanks for the call.
It's a pleasure.
We'll be back and continue right after this.
Look at it.
Dow Jones Industrial Average up 339 at the moment.
By the way, folks, I, your beloved and respected host, can fix the mortgage crisis with one word.
Rent.
I'll say the one word again.
Rent.
Rent what is the mortgage crisis?
A bunch of people had no business being given loans to buy houses, being given loans to buying houses.
There was a time when you and I couldn't afford a house.
What do we do?
Rent.
And what did we hear?
Stop renting.
You're throwing your money down to sewer.
You gotta get in a homeownership.
You need equity, and you need to get the mortgage deduction.
So a lot of us bought homes that we couldn't afford, become became house poor.
We lived there, couldn't do much, had to drive jalopes.
But at least we paid the mortgage.
And if we didn't, they took the house away from us.
There wasn't a Barney Frank or anybody else running interference for us to stay in the house paid for by the neighbors who had no clue what was going on at the time.
Rent.
Spelled R-E-N-T.
By the way, um, you know there's a temporary spending bill has nothing to do with this thing that was voted on yesterday.
Temporary spending bill, Congress is working on 3.9% average pay raise for federal employees in 2009.
Uh so don't worry, folks, the federal bureaucracy is going to be taken care of here no matter what.
Whether the bailout happens, whether it's done right, doesn't matter.
Our precious bureaucrats that we salute and sing to and bow down and praise each and every day will be taken care of.
The bureaucracy will go on.
I am relieved.
By the way, these kids between five and twelve singing these Obama songs.
I'm gonna have to check the video again.
Because I'm wondering if uh one of these kids that's in the lead role is actually just lip syncing because she's cute, and they got rid of the one who actually sang because she had bucked teeth or something like the Chicoms did.
We'll check the video again on that.
And interesting interesting news from Rasmussen following the phone call that we had from Kelly.
Sixty-seven percent of adults, Rasmussen here, not confident lawmakers know what they're doing in economic crisis.
That means 26% have confidence that lawmakers know what they're doing.
Only 26% have con she's right.
This is a crisis of lack of confidence in government, not in the markets.
The American people trust the market.
They don't trust government.
Senator McCain, are you hearing this?
Isn't anybody telling you this?
And if they did, what would you?
Never mind.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Barack Obama this afternoon, Areno, Nevada campaign event.
For the rest of today, and as long as it takes, I'll continue to reach out to leaders in both parties and do whatever I can to help secure the plan.
This morning I talked to President Bush.
I talked to Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
He happens to come from Nevada.
To the Democrats and Republicans who opposed this plan yesterday, I say, step up to the plate.
Do what's right for this country.
And to all Americans, I say this.
If and when I am president of the United States, this rescue plan will not be the end of what we do to strengthen our economy.
It will only be the beginning.
You're talking to people who don't buy it, Barry.
26% think you know what you're doing.
76% don't.
And this is uh this is really leadership, isn't it?
Step up to the plate.
He's out in Nevada telling people to watch.
You step up to the plate over there.
I'm talking to you.
You people of DC, step up to the plate.
You!
Step up!
I'm talking to people on the phone.
You step up.
Here's a guy who had a chance to get the Congressional Black Caucus on board, didn't do diddly squat.
Fraud and a pretender.
Bob in Callahan, Florida, you're next on the EIB Network Hill.
We got about a minute here, but I wanted to squeeze you in.
Hey Rush, uh, how are you doing?
I I don't know how much you you know that you're appreciated from the folks out here that have been frustrated with what's going on.
Not only now, but uh uh real quick, uh, if Barack Obama is who we have heard he has been over the last 19 months, he would have came into that meeting and he would have fixed things.
And what is he did what has happened since he left that meeting?
Chaos.
So please, please.
And stop with those those kids singing, because that was torture.
Well, I agree with you.
I agree with you.
Anyway, but you know we love the children uh here, Bob.
Uh we even even when they're little mind-numbed robots being programmed by a bunch of socialist communist Hollywood people.
You gotta know what's going on.
You're you're is exactly right.
Obama strode in that White House meeting.
We've had chaos ever since.
This from the Great Unifier, this from the fixer, this from the change, this is the guy who's gonna bring all nations together as one can't even unite Washington, D.C., which it hasn't been united in a long time.
Nobody can do it.
I'm telling you the solution here, one word rent.
And if you're not paying the mortgage, how do you get the mortgage interest deduction anyway?
You don't, you're still renting.
