Time Text
Greetings my friends and welcome back Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have while serving humanity simply by showing up here at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
The telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address lrushbow at EIBnet.com.
Your telephone calls are coming up soon.
Reuters just posted a story about a half hour ago.
Action system yesterday, 24 hours ago, a slowdown in the world economy may give the planet Earth a breather from the excessively high carbon dioxide emissions responsible for climate change, said a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, atmospheric scientist Paul J. Crutzen, who has in the past floated the possibility of blitzing the stratosphere with sulfur particles to cool the Earth,
said clouds gathering over the world economy could ease the Earth's environmental burden.
This guy is a Nobel Prize winner.
Slower economic growth worldwide could help slow growth of CO2 emissions and trigger more careful use of energy resources, though the global economic turmoil may also divert focus from efforts to counter climate change, said Crutzen, winner of the, maybe Crutzen, I'm not sure how he pronounces it, winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the depletion of the ozone layer.
Ozone layer is still there, hasn't depleted.
Guy gets the Nobel Prize.
It's a cruel thing to say, but if we're looking at a slowdown in the economy, there's going to be less fossil fuels burning.
So for the climate, it could be an advantage.
Let me check the oil price here.
I don't think this dude knows what he's talking about.
$87 a barrel, ladies and gentlemen.
$87 a barrel.
Audio sound by $35.
Here is, remember now in a brilliant monologue a mere moments ago, people telling me they thought the stupidest question that Tom Brokaw asked last night was asking Obama and McCain who their Treasury Secretary would be.
It's not a stupid question because there are people in important places who want to know that because the Treasury Secretary is now running the U.S. economy.
According to the bailout bill, the Treasury Secretary in the bailout bill right there in the preamble shall use the bailout bill and all associated funds to ensure the economic welfare of the people.
That's an impossibility.
That is central planning.
More central planning, Obama in Indianapolis at a campaign rally.
You heard Senator McCain say, well, we don't need any government involvement in healthcare.
What he didn't mention is he's got health care from the government.
You know, let me tell you, that is something that always burns me up.
When I hear folks who are getting paid by the government have health insurance from the government, are happy with it, wouldn't trade it in for anybody.
But suddenly they say, no, no, you, the American people, the folks who are paying our salaries, who don't have health insurance, or are paying too much for health insurance, that somehow you don't want government involvement.
Come on.
A nice little trick there from Barry Obama.
The government does happen to be the employer in this case.
It is not a national government-run healthcare system.
It may be pretty good.
In fact, if it's as good as Obama describes it, and these guys say we all should sacrifice, how about them sacrifice by giving up some of their great health care print coverage that they supposedly have?
Anyway, you see what's in we need now government-run health care because it works so well for Senator McCain.
I want to go back.
You know, CNN all in playing the race card last night after the debate.
It was just, it was striking.
David Rodham Gergen says too early to declare victory because Obama is black.
Bagala said Sarah Palin was being racist by praising small-town America.
And James Carville said this.
Now, let me be clear here.
If Obama goes in this race with a five-point lead and loses this election, the consequences are, oh, man.
I mean, I don't think that's going to happen, but I think David, it's a point to bring up.
But you stop and contemplate this country, if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five-point lead and loses the election.
It would be very, very, very dramatic out there.
Now, I want you to imagine if, say, I said something like this, or some other conservative anywhere said, yeah, if Obama, he loses, you know, there's going to be riots out there.
The blacks are going to riot.
This is what James Carville said.
You tell me where the racism is in this country.
It is on the left.
Here's Carville trying to scare America, doing two things.
He didn't accidentally come up with that 5% figure.
These guys are worried to death about the Wilder effect.
They are worried about the Bradley effect, meaning they're worried that people are lying to the pollsters, saying they will vote for Obama.
But because they are really racist and don't want to admit that to a pollster, that they will, when they get to the voting booth in private, will vote for the white guy, Yosemite Sam, instead of the Messiah.
So that selection of five points, that's key.
And I've told you, if Obama is not up by 10 or so, it's going to be a much closer race than everybody thinks.
But for James Carville to suggest that the political immaturity of the majority of the black population in this country is such that they will take to the streets and riot.
I hope all of you African Americans listening to this program understand how that means the Democrat Party sees you.
In fact, I might go so far as to say, I'm not about Carville, I don't know, but there might be some on the Democrats that wouldn't mind seeing some riots if Obama loses.
Nevertheless, that's what they think of you.
You are going to take this story.
It's going to be Rodney King and South Central Los Angeles all over the country.
So there's a fright factor here.
There is a bigotry factor here.
And of course, there is racism on the parade, on parade, all over the place.
And once again, the racism originates and comes from the Democrat Party.
All right.
Just discussing the energy bill, I want to get to this point here since we're on race.
Discussing the energy bill last night, McCain referred to Obama as that one.
It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies.
And it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney.
You know who voted for it?
Might never know.
That one.
You know who voted against it?
Me.
Well, now they're just up in arms over this.
Now, would somebody explain to me why they're up in arms over this?
They're the ones calling him the one.
They're the ones who are out there.
He's the anointed one.
He is the Messiah.
He's Barack Obama's citizen of the world.
Here is Chuck Todd And Brian Williams asked Chuck Todd of NBC if you had to pick one moment, he had to pick one moment, one utterance that lives on from tonight, what would it be?
Clearly, the Obama campaign is pushing this that one moment.
They're pushing it hard.
They've already emailed it around a half dozen times to reporters.
So whether it should be the moment or not, they're pushing it, and that matters.
And here is Enria Mitchell.
Everything here in Washington.
Certainly, a lot of people of color, minorities, will take offense at that.
It seems dismissive.
Oh, that's what it's dismissive.
You people on the left are talking about riots if Obama does not win, and now you insult the intelligence of black people by saying that minorities will take offense at the dismissive, that one.
Isn't it amazing for those of you who are African-American in this audience to listen to people who claim to be your best friends insult you to basically say you are brainless?
And here's Axelrod.
The Obama campaign spinners harped on it in the spin room.
This was on C-SPAN 2 last night.
Unidentified reporter talking to the campaign manager David Axelrod.
What did you think of McCain calling Obama that one?
I thought that was odd.
I mean, I seemed a little disrespectful.
Well, I'll let others decide.
I mean, I think that people saw the debate.
Why was it odd?
Well, Senator Obama has a name, and generally you'd expect opponents to use the name.
I'm hoping McCain misspoke.
I'm hoping what McCain meant to say was the one.
But they're all bit out of shape.
And of course, as predictable as a sun coming up in the morning, blackvoices.com has conducted a poll.
How did you react?
This is, by the way, it claims here to be the number one online destination for African-American news, culture, and community.
And they took a poll of the science users following the debate last night with McCain talking about that one, meaning Obama.
And here are the results.
How did you react to McCain's that one reference to Obama?
Thought it was childish and disrespectful, 66%.
I was outraged by it, 20%.
I totally missed it.
What's that?
8%.
It's a good soundbite, nothing more, 6%.
Total votes, 2,163.
If you are doing any coverage of this story, please feel free to use the poll results, but please credit blackvoices.com.
So, where are we here?
That one is more important than anything Obama has ever done with Bill Ayers.
That one is now a bigger point, a more interesting point, a more controversial point than Obama's own racist preacher, Jeremiah Wright.
We're supposed to get worked up over McCain using the term that one, but we are not even supposed to investigate Obama's close friendship with a man who blows up government buildings.
Okay, we're going to go to the phones.
People have, as is the usual case lately, been patiently waiting.
We start in West Frankfurt, Illinois.
Lanny, great to have you with us.
You're up first.
Hey, Rush, make it to those.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, I basically called to say once again that you were right.
I was one of these conservatives that got on the Obama bandwagon there for a while, for a few months.
And basically came to the realization that the guy, you know, I guess at first I thought, well, you know, maybe we need some new blood in there.
Somebody that's not been around forever that maybe can as almost like a pastor in a pulpit can motivate people and make some change.
And I started thinking, what are you thinking about here?
I mean, this guy's a liberal.
He's going to spend all the money he can get his hands on.
He's a radical.
You knew that at the outset, yet there was something about the Messiah that made you overlook your conservatism.
What was it?
And you and overlook his avowed liberalism.
Well, you know, like I said, I can't put my finger on any one thing.
I guess I just, I mean, let's be honest.
The guy can make a presentation.
He can speak, like you said.
But behind all the speaking and all the speeches, what's left?
And I overlooked that for a while, I guess.
And I guess I would have to say to all my conservative friends or even moderate or liberal friends listening, you've got to get to the substance of this.
Look, in Russia, here's another thing, too.
This whole issue with the economy looking bad and it being a deficit for McCain, I think we're looking at that backwards.
I think that'd actually be a bonus for McCain.
If Obama was in office and we all had $100 bills falling out of our pockets and the butterflies and the unicorns were buzzing around and bluebirds were on our shoulders, you could say, okay, maybe we should give this guy a chance.
But the economy is bad right now.
And what's going to happen if he does get an office?
He's going to spend even more money that we can't afford to spend.
So I actually think that should be a benefit for McCain and not a liability.
Well, yeah, I agree with that.
But of course, got to know what to do with the data.
You've got to know what to do with the issue.
I think the economy, energy, these are slam-dunk-winning issues for McCain because his opponent is a socialist who wants to central plan everything.
His opponent is a guy who's basically saying we aren't the solution to the problem.
We're the burden.
And the government is burdened with us.
And the government's going to have to work very hard and get bigger and appropriate even more money to take care of us because we are boobs and we can't take care of ourselves.
And we don't have the money to do that.
And in the midst of even this economic decline, Obama is still out there promising to raise taxes and spend even more.
It's just, it's amazing to watch how this is shaking out.
Energy as well.
Slam dunk.
Obama last night says we can scare the Russians.
I'll tell you how to deal with the Russians.
We start conserving energy.
Yeah.
We all start using our tire gauges to keep our tires inflated, and Vladimir Putin and KGB are going to be quaking in their boots.
This is ass backwards.
If you want to scare Putin and the KGB, we start producing additional energy.
Conservation is not going to grow anybody anything.
I'll tell you what, in addition to that, I have to make this point again about the debate last night.
And this is the moderator.
Now, one question on abortion.
And that's bad because Obama supports infanticide, killing babies who are intended to be aborted but who survived the abortion.
Obama votes to kill them.
Let the doctors kill them.
Immigration didn't come up.
Gun control did not come up.
You talk about somebody vulnerable on an issue that has been an issue on which votes turn.
That's Barack Obama and guns didn't come up.
A whole lot of things like this.
Foreign foreign contribution, fundraising and irregularity.
They are shielding Obama from virtually everything.
Bill Ayers didn't come up.
At some point, Acorn didn't come up.
Some point, Obama's going to be forced to answer these questions because whether McCain likes it or not, we are not going to let the issues die.
Thanks for the call out there, Lanny.
Here's this Deborah in Topeka.
Nice to have you.
Your second today on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Well, at this point, I wish I was running for office.
I was so I listened to that debate last night, and there was nothing from either candidate.
I was so mad at McCain on points.
When Obama says, we're going to raise taxes, 95% of you, we're going to do the wealthy, and we're going to do big business.
People, without big business in this country, we have nothing.
We have got to support big business.
What are we all going to do?
Are we all going to go to McDonald's and get jobs, flipping burgers?
The wealthy and big business is who creates jobs in this country.
They have the money to go and do it.
And what happens when they get taxed higher?
They're going to leave.
That's what's been happening the last 20 years.
It has been cheaper to do business in other countries.
The last 10 years, we lost a million.
You know what?
We already have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world, 35%.
In the world.
And everybody, go look on the internet.
Just type in corporate tax rates.
You will see that America is exactly what Rush said.
Our corporate tax rate is ridiculous.
I had a business for 12 years.
Out of that 12 years, I paid 30% taxes.
One year I didn't because I had a client that owed me $70,000.
I didn't pay any taxes one year.
Walmart, they paid 37.4% in tax in 2007.
Go look this stuff up.
I'm not making this up.
These are facts.
Go look it up.
This is America.
We have to encourage businesses to come back to America.
If we tax them, they're just going to send more jobs overseas.
China is offering to companies, and they have offered to some companies, no tax.
Come over here.
You won't pay any taxes.
You're actually right about this.
Why do you think Obama doesn't get this?
Or does he get it?
Why does he want to make his enemies list include American business, large and small, and wealthy people?
Why are they his enemies?
They're not his enemies.
What he's saying, and Americans are smart.
Hopefully they'll get this.
He is trying to appeal to the mass quantities of people.
The majority of people are middle-class people.
And what he's saying is what's going to get the vote.
He's telling you, go against the wealthy people because it's appealing on your emotions.
That's exactly right.
It's the class envy card.
And the thing I always try to tell people about this, Deborah, you're very, very smart, by the way.
You're very brilliant.
You're a great caller.
I always tell people, okay, you're middle class or whatever.
You don't make as much money as you think you should be making.
A lot of people make more.
And you hear that those people make more than you're going to be tax increased.
And you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, shoke them.
Okay, they get their taxes increased.
Has your life changed, Danny?
You have any more money in your back pocket?
You got going to buy a new car because they got a tax increase?
Doesn't change your life a bit.
And if you're happy in a Schadden-Freud sort of way, that your neighbors are getting stuck with a bigger tax bill.
I think you raised some excellent points.
I'm out of time here, Deborah.
I've got to run, but thank you so much for the call.
Quick time out.
We're coming right back.
Ha, and welcome back, Rush Limblaugh.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Boynton Beach, Florida.
This is Edward.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Omega Doodles.
Thank you.
The reason I called is because I feel McCain has really been blowing the debates, both of them.
On both big debates, Obama started trying to track all the current-day problems back to eight years of Bush administration.
And I thought when he did that, McCain should have gotten up there and said, this is in fact back to eight years of Bush administration.
This is tracked back to President Carter and President Clinton and Democratic Congresses that forced the banks to make risky loans to people that couldn't pay for them.
Yeah, you and I and the rest of the Republican Party conservative movement agree 100%, don't understand.
Well, we watch this stuff and say, okay, it's up to us.
We're going to have to be the ones to secure victory if we're going to drag him across the finish line and then take on the other challenges that that presents.
You know, one step at a time here.
We can do it.
That's the way it's going to have to be done.
I'm going to explain to you so you will no longer be frustrated why McCain does not do that.
I mean, Obama handed him a, I mean, slow-pitched softball hanging curve.
Yeah.
All he has to say, I'm sorry, Senator Obama, but the roots of this particular crisis are in fraudulent mortgage lending started and suggested by Jimmy Carter, expanded by Bill Clinton, implemented by Jamie Gorellik.
You have two advisors who implemented these loans at Fannie Mae and Freddie could have just knocked it out of the ballpark.
He won't do it.
I'm going to tell you why.
Okay.
Very simply, so that you don't get frustrated anymore because it's going to keep happening for the rest of the campaign.
McCain is going to get hanging curveball after hanging curveball.
He's going to strike out.
John McCain believes that the key for him to win the election is in the undecided moderates, the independents, moderates, all these people who have not declared who they're for, the great undecided.
And the theory goes that they are all moderates.
Now, by moderate, I mean people who do not make up their minds because they think it's offensive to have an opinion about anything.
And they also, this is the theory, and I think it's all wet and wrong, but McCain believes it.
The theory is that moderates get offended by partisanship.
So McCain does not want to be partisan and offend them because that's who he's seeking the votes of.
Now, here's where this theory is so flawed, it's embarrassing anybody accepts it.
It is a myth, and it is one of these theories that's been alive in American politics put forth by Democrats and put forth by the media to get conservatives to shut up.
It is designed to scare people like McCain into not saying what he knows is the truth because he believes he will offend these precious moderates.
And what will they then do?
What will they do?
You tell me, Edward, what will the moderates do if McCain offends them by being partisan?
What will they do?
Well, Obama's partisan, too.
I mean, that's the point.
We're told that they will run to the Democrat Party.
They will run to the Democrat Party if McCain offends them.
Now, tell me, is the Democrat Party, is Barack, are they partisan?
That's what causes the whole problem in the first place.
He tries to blame everything on the eight years of Bush, and that's not true.
It's worse than that.
They wanted to lose an Iraq.
They are responsible for the financial crisis.
They call General Betraus to say that the Democrat Party, the American left, is all sweetness and light.
See, folks, do you understand how illogical it is for us to believe the notion that we've got this great group of moderates out there?
I'll tell you who they really are.
They're a bunch of stuck on themselves, conceited, arrogant elites who think they're smarter than everybody else because the pollsters and all both campaigns always focus on the undecideds.
And these elites sit out there.
They think they have the election results in their hands.
And of course, they play it up.
I don't know how many of these people Frank Luntz gets that claims they're moderates, but I know damn well that you're not going to get on a Frank Luntz show if you're decided.
Frank Lunt only gets focus groups of undecided people.
Well, how do you get everybody once on TV, right?
Including these Doomkoff moderates.
They love to get on TV and he'll tell everybody, because they're smarter than anybody else, what happened in a debate.
And I watch these people, I get embarrassed.
I said, please tell me you're not registered.
These some of the stupidest people I've ever seen are these undecideds who show up these focus groups.
They've got their little dials and they're doing all this tweaking and working graphs.
Have you seen the way CNN does this on the high definition screen?
Did you watch that?
They've got all of their, what are their analysts grading the debate as it's going?
And then they've got some meter down there underneath it going up and down, Democrat, Republican is each candidate speaking.
You guys, you get nauseous watching the graph.
My God, I'm going to throw up if it keeps coming up and down like this.
Where's the peptobismo?
So anyway, we are told that this select group of what, 20%, 18, whatever it is, every election, the great undecideds, the great moderates, they're the ones who are open-minded and don't make up their minds until they've heard everything.
Let me ask you, if you're undecided, what are you waiting for?
What the hell do you not know that you think you're going to learn in the next three weeks?
Some of you may not know yet the full extent of Bill Ayers and William Western Jeremiah Wright.
Well, what do you not know?
What do you not know?
Quads?
Rush, do you really think you ought to be insulting your audience?
I'm insulting the audience.
I'm trying to spur these people to get some gonads.
Grow a pair.
Don't be afraid to tell people what you really think.
And don't tell us that if the Republican candidate happens to get partisan, that that's it.
You can't handle partisanship and mean-spiritedness.
And you're going to run to the Democrats who own the definition of mean-spirited extremism.
So this whole notion of going out and getting the moderate independents is a fraud.
McCain has gotten totally caught up in this myth.
And so long way around this, Edward, my man, the reason McCain is not even going to take a swing at these hanging curveballs is because he believes that if he does, these moderates are going to go running right to the Democrats and Obama.
I know it's silly, but that's what he believes.
And that's how it's going to be.
That's why, as I say, it's going to be up to us if this, well, it is, folks.
I mean, I hate, I'm not, I'm not being braggadocious here.
I'm not even being egotistical.
I said yesterday, I did a little monologue at Senator.
Senator McCain, you owe the country you love to tell the truth about the people who seek to change the country you love.
You owe it to us.
You're the nominee.
You owe it to us to defend this great country as it currently exists to prevent it from being redesigned.
But that's that's not, I don't think that even enters the thought process.
And I don't know about the people, you know, his campaign agents running his campaign.
I have no idea who gets close to him and who has any influence over him or not.
But I'm just telling you, don't expect him to take swings at these things.
Now, also know this.
I will issue a caveat.
I know that Senator McCain believes that the last 72 hours determined the election.
Now, that apparently was told this to prepare myself for fireworks in the last 72 hours.
And frankly, I'm worn out with all these expectations being built up.
So like I said earlier, and Edward, Boynton Beaches goes for you.
If you would be a happier American and more motivated and inspired to vote by not watching next week's debate, then don't watch it.
If all it's going to do is depress you, make you mad, throw your hands in the air and say, hell, I should be running.
Don't watch it.
I will.
And I will tell you what, if anything, out of the ordinary you missed.
Here's Amber in Canton, Michigan.
Amber, you're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Fine, Dandy.
Thank you.
I just want to say thank you to you.
I'm not giving up.
And every day I get a call from my sister saying, we're doomed, we're doomed.
But I know, I know in my heart that the Americans aren't stupid people, and they're not going to elect somebody so far left that will destroy our country.
Well, I want you to be prepared.
There are plenty of stupid people, and they are going to vote for Obama.
Yeah, but I have two points to make.
I believe, too, that even though the Democrats out there are saying, I'm going to vote for Obama, I believe once they get to that booth, they're going to change their mind because they aren't as far left as he is.
And secondly, I feel that, you know, McCain always talks about his strategy with war and da-da-da.
You never show your hand.
I feel in the next couple weeks, he is going to come on, and he's going to come with fire.
And I'm telling you, he's going to come on strong.
And he's just not showing us his hand yet.
And I've just got to believe that he's going to.
I don't want to tell you, Amber, that you are experiencing a triumph of emotion over common sense in expecting these fireworks from Senator McCain.
And I hope you're right.
But I don't want you to be disappointed if they don't happen.
I know, but we do have Sarah Palin, too.
And remember, she is that firestorm.
Well, see, that's a good point.
I forgot to throw that into my analysis in answer to a guy from Boynton Beach.
One of the reasons Palin is there is so that she can go be the firebrand and do what she's doing, which allows McCain to go out there and stroke the independents and the moderates.
And we're back.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, an honor and thrill be with you each day discussing the important issues that determine our future.
This is Gene in Cary, North Carolina.
I'm glad you waited.
You're up next.
Hey, Rush, make a ditto.
It's great to talk with you.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I want to know, am I a racist if I'm prejudiced against these appeasing liberals who will survive these United States?
Is my opinion, any opinion I have now, because I'm not a liberal or I'm not black or I'm not Muslim, does that make me a racist?
Because I have different opinions.
What makes you a racist is A, you live in North Carolina.
B, you're Republican.
Exactly.
Because I live in the Ph.D. capital over here.
And if you can tell by my voice, I am from Brooklyn.
And so, you know, they look at me like daggers.
Just the way it is, but you can't take this stuff personally.
This is, in fact, I've got an audio soundbite.
Grab audio soundbite number 36.
I want you to listen to this with me.
Okay.
Because we just played James Carvo, and you heard it.
James Carvo on CNN last night claiming they're going to be right.
Traumatic out here.
They had traumatic times out there if Obama doesn't win.
I think that's unbelievable.
Well, no, it's totally believable.
They're the racists.
And they are insulting black people, and they are.
I agree.
All right, now wait, wait, wait.
Now, I want to play you Carville on May 15th of this year.
Good morning, America.
Remember, at one time, Obama was running against Hillary.
Let me ask you a question.
Did James Carville ever say that if Obama didn't get the nomination, there would be riots?
Right, right.
He was asked by Diane Sawyer: should Senator Clinton say that she is rejecting the votes of anyone whose votes based in any way on skin colour?
In other words, she was asking Carville if people are voting for Hillary because they're racist.
I have no idea, honestly.
Do you have like a Senator Clinton have somebody out in front of every bowling place and like you know, quiz people or put them under a lamp or something like that?
But a candidate can't go to what now.
A lot of people that vote for Senator Obama, I'm sure, based on race also.
Should we not let these people vote?
Of course we should.
So when it was Hillary, when Hillary was the opponent out there, Gene, no, no, no, there's no way that people are voting for Hillary because white and he's black.
There was no talk of any riots.
I wonder who James Carville's going to vote for.
I'd like to see.
Do you have a cold, Gene?
Yes, I do.
I thought that I detected a cold.
Are you taking anything for it?
No, but I probably will invest in Peto Bismo.
Well, I can understand why you'd need that, but let me tell you what to do.
Get some Zycam.
I knew she had a cold.
I can tell you.
You sound stuffed up out there.
Well, it's either that or there's plenty of the trees and allergies down here in North Carolina.
Well, whatever.
You can't take the chance.
What if it's a cold?
This is the purpose of Zycam.
The moment you think that you got a cold, you go get just, it's like little Q-tips.
And there's a little clear gel liquid.
You just swab the inside of both nostrils, and then you close your nose, hold your nose like that for about five seconds, and don't blow your nose.
Don't sniff for 30 seconds.
Do it every four hours.
And if you've got a cold, if that's what this is, it will cut the severity and it'll cut the length of time that you have this cold.
It is different than other cold remedies.
They just mask your symptoms.
This will actually attack them.
Zinc-based.
Slow it down.
Zycam, Z-I-C-A-M.
And this is, I don't know if you've got cold weather showing up in North Carolina yet, but for those of you around the country, cold weather.
I look at the weather forecast in New York every morning, 53, some rain.
So this is the time of year where this stuff starts breathing.
Zycam works.
I discovered it the first time I tried it, it worked.
I've got it in every bathroom and office that I have.
I don't take any chances.
Zycam.
Thank you, Gene, for the phone call.
Where are we going next, Snerdley?
Elden in Alliance, Nebraska.
Great to have you, Eldon.
Thanks, Russ.
Diddles from the Nebraska Panhandle.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, what I want to say, I can't understand this.
You've been talking about how they think the moderates will go left if we get partisan.
Ronald Reagan took both elections, and he was never not partisan.
And the reason he wasn't is because he fundamentally disagreed with everything that liberals stand for.
And that's why we elect these people to office is to represent our beliefs.
Why should someone give up 75% of their strong moral convictions to be bipartisan?
I don't know.
This is, look, you people are going to start making me mad here.
I've dealt with this.
I've come to grips with what the reality is.
Now you're making me relive it again.
Because all these questions make perfect sense.
I can't.
There is no way I can explain this.
Because like I said last week, because I got frustrated, it was a day I was frustrated last week.
So can you explain the McCann campaign?
I said, no, I cannot explain the campaign.
If I had to write my doctoral thesis on it, I'd have to promise the prof to flunk me because I couldn't.
There's nobody that can explain this other than the way I just tried to.
Ronald Reagan called him under the carpet every time he addressed the American public.
Let me tell you, I know this, Eldon.
I know this.
Now, you're really starting to get me agitated here like a Chicago street organizer because the Republican Party, throughout our last primary system, was trying to wrest control of this party away from the people that loved Ronald Reagan and voted for him.
They want country club blue-blood moderates in charge of the party.
And if they get that, then it's going to be sewer city for the Republican Party for quite a while.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Barack Obama's real problem with William Ayers and his real problem with Acorn.
