Time Text
Hey folks, you remember everybody talking about the October surprise?
What's it going to be this year?
I think we're living right in the middle of it.
Isn't it interesting how all of the Democrat scandals got swept off the table here?
From Charlie Wrangell to any number of other stories involving Democrat chicanery.
And now look, we have the single biggest pocketbook issue in my lifetime this close to an election.
And the people responsible for it brought it to us.
And they're escaping any culpability or responsibility for it whatsoever.
Great to have you back.
Rush Limbaugh here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
And the email address is Elrushbow at EIBnet.com.
Now, this interesting story is we want to move to the Palin-Biden debate, which is tomorrow night.
To get into that, there's an interesting story.
Kenneth Timmerman at newsmax.com.
His story is getting no coverage whatsoever of the drive-bys.
And of course, this is not surprising at all.
It's about Obama's eye-popping fundraising operation.
The bottom line is this.
Obama is raising gobs and oodles of money from foreigners outside the United States.
This is a violation of federal law.
And matching gobs and oodles of money inside the United States from phantoms who are blowing out the individual contribution limits by, among other devices, making up identities and breaking up contributions in amounts less than $200 for which reporting requirements are less rigorous.
Now, according to Kenneth Timmerman, the Obama campaign has raised nearly half a billion dollars, $429.6 million, but refuses to provide the names of most of the donors.
Election law requires the campaign to track this information, but not for it to disclose the names of those who donate less than $200, which is most Obama donors.
It should be pointed out that Senator McCain discloses the names of all of his donors.
The Obama campaign has raised millions of dollars from outside the United States, and only Americans living overseas can lawfully contribute.
But because the Obama veteran vetting machinery is negligent, the vetting machine is negligent.
It doesn't exist.
There is no vetting of Obama by the drive-bys.
The probability is that enormous sums are coming from foreigners.
The campaign knows the FEC is a lethargic agency, won't have a full accounting until perhaps after the election.
Almost half a billion dollars from sources nobody in the campaign will identify.
Of course, this isn't going to matter to anybody, but it does provide perhaps a question that Senator Palin could raise in the debate tomorrow night.
She could simply bring this up, ask Senator Biden about all of this unaccounted-for money that's coming in in less than $200 increments so that it can't be tracked, and that some of the money might be illegal.
It'd be delicate the way she'd have to go about it, but she nevertheless could do this kind of thing.
Senator McCain, by the way, yesterday in Des Moines, Iowa, was interviewed by the Des Moines Register Editorial Board.
An unidentified member of the board asks Senator McCain about Governor Palin dragging down his campaign.
And McCain answered it this way.
I haven't detected that.
How do you reason?
And I haven't detected that in the polls.
I haven't detected that amongst the base.
We get 20,000 people that come to our rallies.
So, again, I fundamentally disagree.
Now, if there's a Georgetown Cocktail Party person who, quote, calls himself a conservative and doesn't like her, good luck.
Good luck.
Well, McCain gets testy there with Georgetown Cocktail Party conservatives.
I don't know.
I don't know who he means.
All I know is that I have seen stories all over the place today about it's polling people and drive-by media analysts who are suggesting that the recent decline of support for Senator McCain in the polls is due to Palin.
And if that's true, and who knows, if it's true, it would be a direct result of the, I mean, they have set about destroying Sarah Palin since she was announced.
It has been a drumbeat of personal attack after personal attack after personal attack.
And in the midst of these personal attacks, they hid her.
She was nowhere to be found.
And then when she was produced, she went out there and was mirroring what McCain was saying about reform this and reform that and so forth.
She was not the person she was when we were introduced to her at her acceptance at the convention and at her introduction speech in Ohio when McCain revealed that she was the choice.
So that's why so many people were saying, let her be who she is.
Don't try to repackage her.
Let McCain handle the reform stuff and let her go out and continue to do what she did, and that's solidify the base and rev up enthusiasm and so forth.
We have some audio sound bites.
This is from Hugh Hewitt and his radio show.
They're sending her out to certain conservative talk radio shows.
And Hugh Hewitt talked to her yesterday.
He said, Governor, your candidacy ignited extreme hostility and hatred on the left in parts of the media.
Are you surprised?
And what do you attribute this to?
Oh, I think they're just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, you know what, it's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency.
And I think that that's kind of taken some people off guard and they're out of sorts and they're ticked off about it.
But, you know, it's motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe Six Pack, like me.
That's really one of the reasons she's despised, and she's exactly right.
She did not have to use the liberal prescriptions to get where she is, just as Clarence Thomas didn't.
And therefore, she represents a huge, huge threat.
I mean, the hatred for this woman by people on the left is visceral and it is palpable.
Last night, she's back with Katie Couric.
By the way, Couric's numbers are lower than they've ever been, even with Sarah Palin.
Her audience numbers are lower than they've ever been.
I have never seen this degree of mediocrity in big media tolerated and promoted as something other than what it is.
Failure.
AP did what?
Well, no, I say AP, she's got a day.
I know they did a book.
I've got that here.
AP did a big puff piece on Katie Couric today.
The whole AP story roster today, I mean, it just makes you want to start a fire with all the paper.
Speaking of fires, just throw it away.
The entire AP story roster today is just, for your mental health, it's better not even to read the garbage.
Anyway, she was on Katie again last night, and questioned from Katie.
A 15-year-old is raped by her father.
Now, by the way, you can imagine, you're not going to hear these answers anywhere because they were good.
You're not going to hear her answers, but we have them.
If a 15-year-old is raped by her father, do you believe it should be illegal for her to get an abortion and why?
I am pro-life, and I'm unapologetic about my position there on real-life, and I understand good people on both sides of the abortion debate.
I would like to see a culture of life in this country, but I would also like to see taking it one step further, not just saying I am pro-life and I want fewer and fewer abortions in this country, but I want then those women who find themselves in circumstances that are absolutely less than ideal for them to be supported, for adoptions to be made easier.
There you have it.
The adoption answer is always best in that situation.
Here is correct.
But ideally, you think it should be illegal for a girl who was raped or the victim of incest to go get an abortion.
I'm saying that personally I would counsel that person to choose life despite horrific, horrific circumstances that this person would find themselves in.
And if you're asking, though, kind of foundationally here, should anybody end up in jail for having had an abortion?
Absolutely not.
That's nothing that I would ever support.
And next, Katie goes after her on the morning after pill.
Some people have credited the morning after pill for decreasing the number of abortions.
How do you feel about it?
I'm all for contraception and I'm all for any preventative measures that are legal and safe and should be taken.
But Katie, again, I am one to believe that life starts at the moment of conception.
And I think that you don't believe in the morning after that.
I would have to see fewer and fewer abortions in this world.
And again, I haven't spoken with anyone who disagrees with my position on that.
I'm sorry.
I just want to ask you again: do you condone or condemn the morning after personally?
I would not choose to participate in that kind of contraception.
You know, it's just funny, frustrating.
The templates that these people have had for 20, 30 years, they will not let go of the techniques they use to try to discredit decent and good people.
And this is one of the reasons why Katie Couric's numbers are in the toilet.
Can't bail out everything.
Can't bail out Katie.
Can't bail out CBS Evening News, even by giving her Sarah Palin.
Again, they try to paint her as some wacko outside the mainstream.
Katie Couric, do you believe evolution should be taught?
Evolution, abortion, RU486.
Evolution, abortion, morning after pill, RU486.
Evolution, abortion.
They're trying to paint her as some sort of Christian freak.
Do you believe evolution should be taught as an accepted scientific principle or as one of several theories?
Oh, I think it should be taught as an accepted principle.
And, you know, I say that also as the daughter of a school teacher, a science teacher who has really instilled in me a respect for science.
It should be taught in our schools.
And I won't ever deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is Earth, but that is not part of a policy or a local curriculum in a school district.
Science should be taught in science class.
Okay, so here they're trying to portray poor old Sarah Palin is just a freak, conservative, wacko extremist and all that.
Stupid, short-sighted, idiotic.
Let's go back to September 13, 2007.
Yahoo hosted an online forum with the Democrat presidential candidates.
And the moderator was a genuine nut, Bill Barr.
Senator Biden, forgetting about the upcoming Iowa caucus for just a moment, which would you honestly say is more likely to contribute to the death of your average American, a terror strike, high fructose corn syrup, or air that has too much coal in it?
Air that has too much coal in it, corn syrup next, then a terrorist attack.
But that is not in any way to diminish the fact that a terrorist attack is real, but hundreds of thousands of people die and their lives are shortened because of coal plants, coal-fired plants, and because of corn syrup.
Now, this is genuine foolishness.
High fructose corn syrup, that's what they sweeten your soft drink with, is more deadly and risky than a terror attack.
Joe Biden, Obama's Democrat presidential nominee.
This is lunacy.
And let's not forget this, a 1988 debate.
Biden's closing statement at the, September 1987, 88, whenever it was, the 88 election, and this is what he said.
Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?
Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree?
May of 1987 at the Welsh Labor Party conference, Labor Party member Neil Kinnock.
Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?
There's your plagiarism on display from Joe Biden, and yet he is hailed as brilliant and experienced.
He's a doofus.
We love him.
Hey, Chuck, stand up.
Let him see you out there.
Jay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, love you.
What did I do?
Chuck, Chuck, let's stand up for Chuck.
We got to take a timeout.
We'll do that.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
All right.
To the phones we go, people.
As always, waiting patiently to Clinton, Tennessee.
This is Heather, and welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Thank you very much.
I'll get right to my point of what scares me the most, Rush, as a mother trying to raise full responsible children is along with the growth of this liberal agenda, people have forgotten, I'm afraid, what it means to live in a free country.
You know, there's a solution here.
Raise your kids to be irresponsible.
The government's going to take care of them now.
It honestly, it scares me to death.
With freedom, Rush, comes responsibility.
And these liberals with their programs, and I have been browbeating this for my whole adult life.
And I'm 38, so, you know, I've got a little bit of experience under my belt.
But these programs strip people of responsibility.
They don't work.
And you brought up today, Katrina.
You know, I love to point to that one as just prime example.
And then, of course, what we're going through right now.
I mean, you know, a little struggle under your belt is not bad.
It builds strength and character.
And I'll let you speak now.
Well, I don't, you're exactly right.
Philosophically, you are dead right.
There's nothing I can add to it.
The problem is that we have a political party who's doing just the opposite of that, trying to create as much irresponsibility, lack of accountability, no agenda, no ambition.
They're destroying people's lives.
They're robbing them of the opportunity to use the freedom and the prosperity this country offers to make something of themselves.
And the Democrat Party and liberalism in general is turning them into waifs.
They're turning them into serfs.
Yes.
Dependent serfs who are never going to meet anywhere near their full potential.
It's really sad to see what is happening, but it's all being done by people who claim to care about people, care about the little guy.
They're destroying them all for the sake of their votes.
And up to Obama, let me tell you what all this foreign money is about.
It's called Acorn.
It's called Walking Around Money on Election Day.
It's called Get Out the Vote.
It's called all kinds of stuff.
It's unaccountable.
It's a kind of money Al Sharpton likes and so forth.
This is, you know, there's a war for the soul of America going on, and one side doesn't understand the gravity of it.
No, they don't.
And you talk about the foreign monies, and I understand we have to keep good diplomacy with our foreign countries.
But I sat down with a World War II veteran at a Boy Scout fundraiser about a year ago.
His mother was from France.
His father was from Italy.
He was raised here in the United States.
He fought in World War II in Italy.
And I asked him about his mother's side.
I said, why is it?
And this was after the French sent us caught after Katrina.
I said, why is it the French hate us so much?
And he replied, they're jealous.
They're not free.
Why are we comparing ourselves to this?
Well, we're comparing ourselves.
We're not comparing ourselves.
The Liberal Democrats are comparing us to the French.
And they love the French government.
I don't know if they're crazy about it under Sarkozy prior to that because it was socialist.
Pure and simple.
Thanks very much, Heather.
I appreciate the phone call.
She's right on the money.
I saw it again.
There's another story out there, especially now these dire economic times.
Some computer script, some hacker got in, and 1,500 people's identity, social security numbers, all these things were stolen in the midst of all of this crisis going on out there.
And people, well, so what?
Nobody's extending credit.
Nobody can do it.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that if you lose your identity during a crisis like this, because there's no credit, that people can't make hay with your identity.
They can take your bank accounts, your credit cards, steal your wallet, open new accounts, commit a crime in your name.
You can be up the creek without a paddle if you don't protect your identity.
LifeLock can protect your identity, and it's so inexpensive.
It's senseless not to do this.
Simply call 800-440-4833 or go to lifelock.com.
They have a promo code Rush.
Some special goodies await you there.
LifeLock can save you a whole bunch of trouble.
That's Lifelock.com.
Use the promo code RUSH.
You know, I have a genuine fear.
We're going to need a Life Lock to protect America's identity if Obama gets elected.
And it's going to cost a lot more than it does now.
Now, I have a little bit of information here from my friend Anthony McCarthy at National Review that you may not remember.
In fact, you may never have heard of this.
But this is in the context of the debate coming up tomorrow night and how Sarah Palin has no experience.
She's dangerous.
She's reckless.
She's been around.
How long has she been around?
Six weeks now?
Whatever.
It's weeks.
She's been on the scene weeks and they have destroyed her.
They've done everything they can to destroy her.
Biden's been around 30 years and they puffballed this guy up in ways that he does not deserve.
Here are the last two paragraphs of a story Andy McCarthy wrote for National Review September 29th.
If you it's the current issue, it's entitled Biden's Baggage.
Finally, it's a lit, it's six pages.
It's a litany of Biden gaffes and stupid policy ideas and statements.
But the last one is the PAS des Résistance.
Finally, were it not for the national spotlight on his Iraq Farragone?
By the way, that was, we should partition Iraq because all else would fail.
Biden would be best known for his relentless appeasement of Iran, the world's leading sponsor of jihadist terror.
Along with top members of Clinton's inner circle, Biden was in the vanguard of foreign affairs engagement enthusiasts who got goo-goo eyes in 1997 when the president of Iran, Mohammad Khatami, proposed a dialogue between civilizations.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps had only recently assisted Hezbollah in bombing the Khobar Towers complex in Saudi Arabia, murdering 19 members of the U.S. Air Force.
Iran was busily pursuing its nuclear aspirations.
Still, as AEI scholar Michael Rubin recounts, Biden stubbornly pushed for cultivating Iranian reformers and encouraging trade and dialogue to bring the mullahs around.
Exactly what Obama wants to do, by the way.
The European Union followed just such advice, increasing trade threefold with Iran, which promptly diverted 70% of the haul to its military and nuclear programs.
The Mullahs responded to this sensitive diplomacy by installing as their president Mahmoud Ahmadinezad, who is more clearly reflective of the death to America philosophy.
As the Iranians laughed all the way to the bank after getting his money from the European Union and continued killing Americans in Iraq, Congress voted last year, and you'll remember this, to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization, a move that imposes economic sanctions.
Only 22 senators opposed that designation.
Biden and Obama were among those who opposed naming the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization.
That called to mind the immediate aftermath of the 9-11 attacks.
This is what you may not remember.
As policymakers considered potential responses to the 9-11 attacks, Biden had a brainstorm.
Seems to me, he told Foreign Relations Committee staffers, this would be a good time to send no strings attached to check for $200 million to Iran.
Do you remember that?
Or is this the first time you're hearing this?
It's TWU, folks.
It's TWU.
He told Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffers in the aftermath of 9-11, this would be a good time to send no strings attached to check for $200 million to Iran.
I think Governor Palin could admit tomorrow night that she does not have that kind of foreign policy background to come up with something that stupid.
She could very well admit, she could say that her critics, she doesn't have the kind of foreign policy experience that would have said send 200 million bucks, no strings attached, to Ahmadinezad and the Mullahs in Iran.
If I were Palin, I don't care the first question that Gwen Eiffel asks tomorrow night.
I don't care what it is.
I would start out with, by the way, Ms. Eiffel, congratulations on your new book on the Obamas.
Just say that, and then I would answer every question with a lecture on conflicts of interest and how destructive they are to America and good government.
The mortgage crisis was filled with conflicts of interest.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd taking lobbyist money and running interference for the crooks their party put in Fannie and Freddie.
Point them out.
Point out the attempt to send billions to ACORN, Obama's pet organization, Democrats insisting on surrender in Iraq.
A massive conflict of interest.
When they tell us they support the troops, they have the best interests of the country in mind as they do everything they can to embarrass the president, gain advantage in elections.
Education?
Teachers' unions are in the tank for Democrats.
Explain that conflict of interest and how it interferes with their mission of educating the kids.
Abortion?
They love to ask her about abortion, okay?
If she's asked about abortion tomorrow night, talk about Planned Parenthood, the money they get from government, and their relationship with the Democrat Party.
And find a way to talk about PBS and NPR.
Lots of conflicts there.
They're in bed with the Democrats.
Part of their taxpayer-funded job is to report the news.
NPR and PBS are Fannie and Freddie.
They're incestuous.
They're corrupt.
It's a giant conflict of interest.
That's what Gwen Eiffel has.
She has a giant conflict of interest.
She has a book about one of the candidates that will obviously sell a considerable number of copies if the candidate wins.
The candidate is Barack Obama.
And, you know, Greta Van Susteren said on her blog that if this were a courtroom, that Gwen Eiffel will be thrown out that this is a mistrial.
This would be declared a mistrial to have one of the lawyers have this kind of a conflict of interest.
Well, the only problem with that is that this isn't a trial because Biden's not on trial.
Palin is.
Sarah Palin will be on trial tomorrow night, but Biden will not be.
It doesn't matter what he says.
The worst Biden can do is a tie.
And because it'll be a tie at worst, he will be said to win.
Why?
Because pundits on our side think they are smarter than she is, and they must demonstrate that smartly, explaining why she's stupid.
It is, she's going to be on total trial tomorrow night.
He will not be.
He has said some of the stupidest, most irresponsible things.
He has never been or seldom been right in this decade on foreign policy.
And yet they tout his experience.
What good's experience if you're always wrong?
Here's Rick in Minneapolis.
Rick, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Yeah, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
I'm an avid listener.
I love your show, and I think you're an asset to the United States of America.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Very perceptive of you.
If you give me 10 seconds, I'm going to preface who I am.
I'm a small business owner who's downsizing.
I have four children, a wonderful wife.
I am a friend of my mayor in my small town of Elko Newmarket, but I was three weeks late.
But I have an idea of this $700 billion bailout.
Instead of being a bailout, I think, in my opinion, and I just want to know what Rush thinks, I think it should be a buyout.
So theoretically, if it's a buyout, then what happens is that the government owns all of our homes who have a mortgage.
If the government takes 2% interest and gives us 2% interest for the next 15 years, it's going to put more money in our pockets, and it's going to increase spending, and it's going to increase the economy.
What do you think about that, Rush?
Disaster.
You think so?
Well, look at the mortgages the government's already been running.
What got us into this mess?
Well, we could get into a long story about that.
Well, it's not a long answer.
How do we get into the mess?
What do you think?
Well, in my opinion, it was Clinton because Clinton wanted everybody to own houses.
And now his dream came true.
All right, yeah.
Now you want the government to own your house.
Well, right.
And that's the same thing.
And people still make money off the percentage of 2%.
2%?
Who's going to make money on 2%?
Well, the government pays us, I think, 3% on bonds, right?
The government saves you 3% on bonds?
Well, I mean, I mean, if I buy a government bond, they pay us 3%.
Well, yeah, depending on the bond, okay.
So the government pays you 3% on bonds.
So if you buy a government bond, pays you 3%, then what?
I guess, well, I guess my whole point, Rush, is that if the government gives us a 2% interest rate for 15 years, then if there's somebody that has to refinance, we penalize them and we give them an extra 2%, which is 4%.
I think it's a good idea.
What you're telling me, nobody's going to get a 2%.
They're either going to get zero interest and no payments required or the full-fledged requirement of the mortgage they've negotiated.
That's what's on tap here.
Now, I did a little calculation yesterday where it repeated some calculations that were made at the WhizBang blog.
And for this $700 billion, the government could virtually own every outstanding first mortgage under $50,000 a year.
But you do that one time, just one time, and it's over with.
The philosophy here is that what you're telling me you want, because not everybody has a mortgage, not everybody has a house.
What you're telling me is you want your neighbors to subsidize your house for 15 years at an interest rate nobody could get.
I don't know.
This is you can't.
I'm hoping your request, your desire here is not typical.
Because if it is, we're finished.
Look, my friends, look at me here.
Look at me.
We do not want the government involved in homeownership.
Oh, that's so depressing.
This previous caller, he's swallowed the hook, bait and all.
If the government has equity in your home, remember, you don't own it till you pay it off, folks.
I mean, you can think you own the home and you're getting the mortgage interest deduction.
By the way, what's that going to be worth to you at 2%?
But anyway, you don't own it.
The government owns it.
The government will have equity in your house.
And if they have equity in your house, they have equity in your liberty.
They have another way to control your future.
You can't smoke in your house if they tell you you can't smoke in your house.
If they own it, if they own it, you can't smoke in your house.
A lot of things you might not be able to do in your house that if you get caught doing, guess what can happen to you?
Besides, where in the Constitution does it say to you?
Oh, I know that's so quaint to say the Constitution.
I'm sorry for bringing up the Constitution.
I realize it's a has-been.
Richard in San Diego, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Thank you very much for taking my call, Rush.
I hope you enjoyed your show.
Thank you.
I have a question with regards to the FDIC.
I hear on the media and all over that nobody's ever lost any money in an insured account.
However, I often wondered: if you have car insurance, if you have health insurance, if you have home insurance and you don't pay your premium, you don't have insurance.
And I was curious as to how many institutions haven't paid their FDIC insurance premium.
I called the FDIC yesterday and asked this question.
They said they weren't at liberty to give out that kind of information.
Was that right?
Yes.
I even thought of this.
Yes.
The big Senate bill here ups the insurance stake to $250,000.
But if member banks haven't paid the insurance, you have none.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes.
That's what it would seem to me.
So I think the public ought to investigate their lending institutions or place where they have their money to see if, in fact, they've paid their premiums.
Well, see, in the big scheme of things, the public really can't do this.
Individuals can.
In the old days, there was a media that would investigate and find out if these things were going on.
But now the media used to try to expose corruption in high places of power.
Today they protect it.
Yes.
If it's chaired and led by Democrats.
Richard, thanks.
I appreciate that.
St. Mary's, Georgia.
And Sharon, you are next.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi.
Hi.
It is so awesome to talk to you.
Thank you so much.
I want to say Mega Infinity Dittos.
You just don't know how you made my day.
Appreciate that.
But I just wanted to say that I'm one of the ones out there.
I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to fight.
I'm ready to sign up and enlist in the political battle.
I am so tired.
I am so tired of being run over.
I mean, the conservatives, maybe slash Republicans are so good at, you know, militarily, you know, fighting mores and trying to, you know, get them before they get us.
But when it comes to the political battle, you know, I just don't get it.
But the way they need to do it, it's for the best for the country, that they need to go ahead and just tell it like it is.
Tell the truth.
It's best for the country.
It's best for America.
And if they really love this country and they are passionate for it, that's what they're going to do for us.
Meaning go out there and spill it with Barney Franks.
The Republicans and so forth.
Yeah.
They need to go and spill it with Barney Franks and the whole, you know, shenanigans with.
I agree.
I agree.
But the guy that has to do it's McCain.
It is.
I know it is.
It is him.
And it's frustrating to me.
If McCain's not even if he's not even going to realize that a moderator of a debate tomorrow night who stands to make a lot of money, if her candidate wins the debate, Barack Obama, If the moderator of this debate tomorrow night, if he doesn't understand that she hates Sarah Palin and is right now conniving questions and so forth to embarrass Palin and end this camp, if he's not willing to acknowledge that.
Now, he doesn't have to say that publicly, but I know he said publicly, oh, she'll be fair.
She'll be scrupulous.
It'll be the if they're.
It's frustrating, and it's discouraging.
It's so discouraging because people are so out here.
I'm going to have to stop talking about it too because I'm on fire.
I'm ready to get on board.
I'm ready to hear the meet.
Go do it.
I'm just sort of the McCain campaign is such that the more I suggest things, the more they won't do it.
Oh, no.
No, it's true.
It's true.
That's not good.
God, I need to change my tactics.
I need to start advising Senator McCain to do stupid things that do the opposite, and it may help.
Or just go ahead and pass him notes, and the teacher won't see.
You're right.
All right.
Well, look, I appreciate the call, Sharon.
Hey, thank you so much.
It's a pleasure and an honor.
By the way, I'm not trying to dispirit you.
I want you to stay revved up.
Oh, I'm going to stay revved up.
I mean, the other, it's too scary.
I am so scared to death.
You know, I'm a military-wise.
Look at this.
It's people like you that are going to take this energy and show up on Election Day and confound every turnout effort of the Democrats.
That's what it's going to take.
We're all going to have to be a bunch of self-starters.
We're going to have to be leading ourselves to the polls with a referendum on Barack Obama.
We will be back.
By the way, a banker friend of mine informs me that all banks pay the FDIC or they are shut down if they don't pay.
If that still happens, we don't know anything anymore about what's going on.
See you tomorrow, folks.
