Time Text
Hang on a minute.
Phone call.
You tell them I am not gonna do a TV interview at two o'clock in the morning.
Why even ask me that?
Why would somebody even ask me if I want to do an interview at two o'clock in the morning?
Greetings, my that's an automatic no.
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome back, Rushlin Ball, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network 800-282-2882 is uh phone number if you want to uh call the program.
We got an exciting uh busy broadcast hour uh straight ahead, and the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
All right, let's let's move on here for a moment to the real problem that Obama has with Bill Ayers.
Now I am convinced that this is hitting.
I'm convinced it's sticking.
The Obama campaign is getting nervous about it.
The drive-by's are trying to cover for this.
In fact, last night on DNC TV before the second presidential debate, Chris Matthews, with the tingle up his leg when he discusses Obama, was talking to David Axelrod, the chief Obama campaign strategist.
And Matthew said, in the political life of your candidate Barack Obama, what role did Bill Ayers play?
Virtually not.
Every news organization that's looked at it has come to the same conclusion.
The fact is that Bill Ayers today is a professor of education in Chicago.
He's an aide to the mayor on school reform, and that's how they they came to meet.
That is a lie.
That is a full fledged lie.
The closest he got to the truth there was saying that Bill Ayers is a professor of education.
But wait till you hear in mere moments what kind of education.
Matthews then said, Well, was he politically rehabilitated in your eyes by the time he met with your candidate?
He wasn't making a political when he served on these boards.
They were working on some uh school reform issues, but the fundamental point here is he doesn't he has nothing to do with this campaign.
He doesn't advise him, he's not involved with him politically, he won't be involved in the future.
That the sp the I'll tell you these guys are nervous.
Bill Ayers was one of the formative influences in Obama's life.
Now the editorial guys at the Investors Business Daily have a great, great piece today, entitled Obama's Real Problem with Bill Ayers.
We all know who he is.
Weather Underground bombed the Pentagon, was the uh host of Obama's coming out political fundraiser party, 1995, gave Obama 150 million to head up education, the Annenberg Challenge, uh worked and introduced him to Acorn.
Uh Bill Ayers is uh very, very close to Michelle Obama.
In fact, it may well be, uh, folks, that uh Michelle Obama is as instrumental in Obama knowing Ayers as Obama himself is.
At an education forum in in Venezuela, let's go back here and remember what Axel Rod said.
Bill Ayers today is a professor of education in Chicago.
He's an aide to the mayor on school reform.
That's what Obama's campaign advisor says.
At an education forum in Venezuela, Bill Ayers showed that the real issue is not his terrorist past.
It's the socialist revolutionary agenda that he and Obama want to impose on the nation's schools.
Still more evidence of how the media are in the tank for Obama was evident in Tom Brokaw's description of Ayers on Meet the Press Sunday.
School reformer is how Brokaw identified the co-founder of the Weather Underground radical organization that bombed government buildings, banks, police departments, and military bases in the early 1970s, and private homes.
as well.
Bill Ayers is a school reformer in the same sense that Joe Stalin was an agricultural reformer.
An idea of what Ayers has in mind for America's schools was provided in his own words, not 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but less than two years ago.
In November 2006, at the World Education Forum in Caracas, Venezuela, hosted by dictator Hugo Chavez.
With Hugo Chavez at his side two years ago, Bill Ayers, who is a professor of education in Chicago.
Bill Ayers voiced his support for the quote political educational reforms underway here in Venezuela, under the leadership of President Chavez.
We share the belief that education is the motor force of revolution.
I look forward to seeing how all of you continue to overcome the failures of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.
That's Bill Ayers, Obama friend two years ago, praising revolutionary education techniques to overcome the failures of capitalist education in Venezuela.
Ayers told the great humanitarian Hugo Chavez, quote, teaching invites transformations.
It urges revolutions large and small.
La educación is revolucion.
It is that form of socialist revolution that Ayers and Obama have been working to bring to America.
Ayers is now a tenured distinguished professor of education, University of Illinois, Chicago.
He works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
He is not interested in teaching them math, science, history, any of that.
These kids in the schools over which Obama and Ayers had purview were taught to rebel against capitalism to be promoting of socialism revolutionaries.
Saul Stern at the City Journal in New York says Ayers and his education school comrades are explicit about the need to indoctrinate public school children in the belief that America is a racist, militarist country and that the capitalist system is inherently unfair and oppressive.
So forget the terrorist stuff, although it's relevant.
Bill Ayers to this day is working to overthrow the capitalist system of the United States through the education system of the United States.
School children, you wonder where the curricula come from.
That so many of your kids in high school and in college are subjected to, it comes from the thinking of Bill Ayers, and he attends many seminars teaching teachers, instructing teachers how to engage this curriculum.
Now, if Ayers was just another nutty professor, we'd be lucky, but he wields great influence in academic circles, and he has had Obama's ear.
He is the author or editor of 15 books.
Chicago's current mayor, Richard Daly, has employed Ayers as a teacher and teacher trainer for Chicago's public schools and has consulted him on the city's education reform plans.
Just last month, Mr. Ayers was elected vice president for curriculum for the 25,000 member American Educational Research Association, ERA, is the nation's largest organization of education school professors and researchers.
In a recent interview on Fox, Obama upgraded Ayers' status from a guy who lives in my neighborhood to somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago than I know.
Actually, Obama knew him quite well, having worked together on a school reform project called the Chicago Annenburg Challenge.
In the 1990s, Ayers was instrumental in starting the Annenberg Challenge.
He secured 50 million dollars in a grant to reform the Chicago public schools.
Obama was given the Annenberg board chairmanship only months before his first run for office.
He ran the fiscal arm that distributed grants to schools and raised matching funds.
And this is at a time when Obama's, I didn't know this guy who he was.
Well, he didn't know who he was, he knew who you were.
He's given you 50 million dollars to spend.
Ayers participated in a second entity known as the Chicago Scrual Reform Collaborative, the operational arm worked with grant recipients.
During Obama's tenure as Annenberg board chairman, Ayres' own education projects received substantial funding.
One of Ayers' descriptions for a course called Improving Learning Environments.
One of Ayres' own descriptions for a course called Improving Learning Environments says that a prospective K through twelve teacher needs to be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
Don, this sounds like that this teacher that your daughter had for history last year went to this seminar.
John McCain needs to repeatedly point out the stealth socialism of Ayres education agenda and Obama's complicity in it.
But he won't because that will be partisan.
But that is who William Ayers is today.
And he and Obama have worked on Ayers projects for years.
To overthrow the capitalist education system, replace it with a radical socialist education system bent on revolution.
Standing side by side to Hugo Chavez in praising the socialist dictator Chavez for his revolution curriculum.
That is William Ayers, and that is Barack Obama's friend, Maggie Gallagher.
In the New York Post today.
When John Murtaugh was nine years old, Bill Ayers' friends tried to kill him.
Murtaugh wrote recently in the City Journal, I remember my mother pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood.
Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below.
We didn't leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside.
It wasn't personal.
John Murtaugh's dad, when John Murtaugh was nine, was a judge presiding over a trial of some Black Panthers.
John Murtaugh still remembers the red graffiti on the sidewalk the next morning.
Free the Panther 21.
The Viet Cong have won, kill the pigs.
As best he recalls, John Murtaugh, Bernadine Dorn, who is now Bill Ayers' wife, first claimed credit for bombing John Murtaugh's home in 1970.
John Murtaugh is now a lawyer and Yonker's city councilman running for the state Senate on the GOP ticket.
I reached him or Maggie Gallagher reached him this week through his campaign.
It wasn't hard.
Has Obama ever tried?
Obama was only eight when Murtaugh's house was bombed by Bernadine Dorn, Bill Eyre's wife.
He has nothing to do with the trauma the Murtaugh family went through, but Obama was a grown man when he decided his path to power lay through Bill Eyre's connections.
Obama's campaign is busy fudging his top political advisor claims Obama just didn't know Ayre's history when they first met.
Bomber?
What bomber?
Right.
If that's true, Obama has to be the dumbest man who ever graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, snorts Murtaugh.
I don't buy that at all.
Murtaugh believes that the relationship between the Obama's Ayres and Bernadine Dorn goes back 30 years to Michelle Obama's time at Siddley Austin, a law firm that also employed Bernadine Dorn.
Murtaugh doesn't blame Obama for what Ayers and his friends did.
He blames Obama for picking a man like Ayers as a friend and mentored and covering up the friendship.
In politics, things get complicated.
Truth becomes hard to find, but not this.
The night they attacked our home, Bernadine Dorn, friends of William Ayers.
They also firebombed an army recruiting station out in Brooklyn.
Police patrol cars outside of Greenwich Village.
Three weeks later, they accidentally blew themselves up.
They intended to attack the officers club at Fort Vicks.
Murtaugh says, lay your cards on the table.
Obama's free to associate with Dorn and Ayres.
That's his right, but don't hide the relationship and be forthcoming and let people decide the significance of it for the significance of it for themselves.
I uh I predicted in the first hour.
This Ayers stuff is going to stick.
People are already starting to pay attention to it and notice it now.
And I think at some point Obama's gonna have to come out and distance himself from this guy.
Can't just say, well, he's some guy new in the neighborhood.
Well, he's somebody worked with on education.
He's gonna have to come out and say this is not Bill Ayers I knew.
This is not the Jeremia Wright that I knew.
So you have to do something.
It will not be Senator McCain that presses it, unless they do it in ads, but it will not happen in the upcoming debate.
I doubt.
Like to be wrong about that.
Brief timeout will come back.
Much more your phone calls are straight ahead.
I want to take you back to the, I guess this is a presidential debate.
It was a primary debate in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia.
It was the Pennsylvania primary debate with Mrs. Clinton and Obama.
Was it a debate was live, it was on ABC, and uh this is what Hillary Clinton said then about Bill Ayers.
The date of this is April 16th of this year.
Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And if I'm not mistaken, that uh relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board uh continued after 9-11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York, and I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9-11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more.
And what they did was set bombs.
And in some instances, people died.
So it it is, you know, I I think it is again an issue that people uh will be uh asking about, and I think that uh this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.
Really, uh, Mrs. Clinton, which Republicans are gonna raise it?
I don't think our nominee is going to raise it.
Certainly those of us in the new media are raising it.
He did have an editorial, a commentary on 9-11, talking about the only thing he was unhappy about was it didn't do more back in their terrorist days.
I don't have Obama's response if there was one, but I do know this.
I knew the drive-by's didn't do diddly squat with that comment.
The drive-by's didn't investigate, didn't do diddly squat with it.
And they're not going to now.
They're gonna they're gonna do what they can to cover it up like Broco did on Meet the Press.
Education reformer.
Bill Ayers is an education reformer.
Before we go to the breaker, I gotta tell you about Acorn.
Michelle Malkin has a brilliant piece today now at Townhall.com.
I don't have time to give you the whole thing.
You got to remember this is Obama's group.
This is the bunch he worked with when he was the street agonizer and organizer and agitator.
Back in Chicago, systemic corruption of our election process continues.
Everybody just sitting around watching this.
Well, actually, some people are now taking action.
Barack Obama and his old buddies 80 corn and Project Vote are leading the way.
A radical revolution taking place in your backyard.
And the voter fraud racket is on your dime on Monday.
The two liberal groups, Acorn and Project Vote, announced the wrap-up of a 21 state voter registration drive, targeting low-income people and minorities in battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, and Wisconsin.
What's wrong with that?
Well, for starters, these two groups are militant partisan outfits purporting to engage in nonpartisan civic activity.
And their campaign comes amid an avalanche of fresh voter fraud allegations involving acorn in many of those same states.
In addition to the Las Vegas raid, fraud allegations keep piling up.
Lake County, Illinois.
Election officials this month rejected a large portion of the 5,000 registration forms Acorn turned in after conducting registration drives in the area all summer.
In Milwaukee last month, officials discovered at least seven felons employed as voter registration workers for Acorn and another affiliated group in Florida.
Orange County alone, acorn workers turned in multiple copycat forms for six separate voters over the summer.
According to the Miami Herald, one individual had 21 duplicate applications.
Thug fizzle is street slang for performing your trademark move.
Obama and Acorn have practiced their thug fizzle together for years, organizing an ever-expanding community of ineligible and marginal voters to expand the Democrat power base rules be damned.
You have to you have to remember here, folks, that all of these investigations, these indictments, fraud allegations against Acorn are I they may as well be made against Obama.
It is his group.
He has worked with this group in the past.
They have his agenda.
They are do Obama gets to show up as the Messiah, the clean cut looking suave and debonair guy wearing the suit and tie where these people are Obama in the background.
This is the way socialists and liberals work.
They put on a good front, put on a good face.
The street soldiers and agitators are doing their dirty work while they get to look like mainstream reasonable people.
It's exactly what is going on here.
We have Obama's response to Hillary's statement about Bill Ayers.
It's interesting, too.
April 16th, 2008, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, you have a Democrat presidential uh candidates debate, and Hillary Clinton said this about Bill Ayers.
Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And if I'm not mistaken, that uh relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board uh continued after 9-11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York.
And I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9-11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more.
And what they did was set bombs.
And in some instances, people died.
So it it is, you know, I I think it is again an issue that people uh will be uh asking about, and I think that uh this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.
And here is how Obama replied by Senator Clinton's own betting standards.
I don't think she would make it, uh, since President Clinton uh pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me.
Uh serving on a board with somebody for actions that he did 40 years ago.
Now, you see, he doesn't deny anything she said about Bill Ayers.
Forty years ago was not two thousand nine eleven, two thousand and one, sir.
Weather underground is their organization.
Your buddies.
Clinton parted partied uh pardoned your buddies.
But it's not about you serving on a board with somebody for actions he did 40 years ago.
You and your buddy and Acorn, you are inseparable.
Radical socialists attempting to overthrow the capitalist system of this country, plain and simple.
And if you and if Ayers is down in Venezuela with uh Hugo Chavez two years ago, praising the overthrow of capitalist education systems.
He's in charge of the curricula for a 25,000 teacher organization, still working on it today.
Obama doesn't know him.
See, I know liberals and I know how they work.
They have to do it in stealth.
Bill Ayers could no more run for president and get past the first primary than Daffy Duck.
Remember way back I said I sp I speculated to you, said it's got to be somebody behind this guy, Obama.
Somebody had to pick him out, somebody had to choose him, somebody had to put him out there and decide he can be the front man for whoever it is that really has this agenda.
Not that he doesn't himself.
I don't know, Soros, some of these people in Chicago, whoever it is, but make no mistake about it, he's the frontman for a huge socialist revolutionary organization.
He's the one by getting elected that will en uh enable and empower them to begin working from the inside for the first time.
Andy in Niles, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you today.
Thank you, sir.
I just uh watched uh some of the debate last night, and and uh boy, you know, Obama seems to be able to say anything he wants and get away with it.
And and I would expect uh McCain would have wanted to to take him up on the one thing I I heard him say last night was when the question was asked about using the military for human rights violations, and how would you do that?
And he said uh he said that you know, hey, I would I would send him in, and That's a huge important thing.
And uh, you know, they've been arguing for you know months now, but you know, in the debate last night too about the fact that uh we should never be in Iraq.
We shouldn't be in Iraq for any reason.
Uh that was the wrong thing.
Right.
That's exactly that's a great point.
We shouldn't be in Iraq, but we should be everywhere else in the world on human rights vice.
Exactly.
And so, you know, I mean me.
McCain should have just stopped him right there.
So, well, so you're saying that we shouldn't be in Iraq for any reason, including these human rights reasons that you would have sent troops there for and you know, that that's that's very well perceived.
Very very shrewd of you.
And of course, the the both answers are a lie.
He's not gonna send the U.S. military around the world every time there's a human rights violation someplace.
And he would uh and and the whole business about Iraq, he's just gonna gotta continue to play to his left wing fringe base on that.
You know, uh Iraq is is something that it's just it's become something it isn't.
It becomes it it's a symbol for Bush hatred, and he has to continue that that's he's just triggering Bush hatred with a word of rock.
Uh but I think it's it's uh it's just amazing.
The things that he will say that he will do.
We we don't have the he he's the one saying we're spread too thin now in two theaters.
So we gotta pull out of Iraq to be able to win in Afghanistan.
But every time there's a human rights violation.
So where we're gonna send in the troops?
Ha!
By the way, that d did he somebody told me that he made mention of uh everybody having to join the Peace Corps not voluntary.
Did you hear that or see that?
Sometimes they get hieroglyphics messages from people, and I I have trouble translating.
They always assume I know everything they're writing about, and if I don't, I can't I have I'm clueless.
Uh Harlan in Sioux, South Dakota.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes.
Uh good to be with you.
Well uh, I gotta ask you a question.
Sure.
What kind of phone are you on?
That's the best phone I've heard on a caller in months.
Um just a general electric phone.
Where did you buy it?
Oh gosh.
Um one of those discount joints whether it was Walmart or Kmart, I don't remember.
I knew it.
It wasn't some of these high-tech things in these high-tech stores, a basic G I didn't even know GE made phones.
Yeah, um.
They uh it's a s and it's got some fancy things on it, like uh some some memor uh uh what is it, twelve memory spots for for phone numbers and redial I'd have never called twelve people and I never call anybody back, so I don't need redial, I don't need twelve storage numbers.
Does it have voicemail uh capability?
Oh no.
Even better, so nobody can clog up your phone with wasteful, worthless bugging messages either.
I've got to go look into one of these.
I've got this panasonic system with three lines on it, all these buttons to call every part of the house, and I never use it because I don't like it.
Yeah.
Uh Rush, the reason I was calling is uh is is I'm a retired examiner for the Treasury Department.
I'm not sure.
No wonder you're using a GE phone.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh uh I uh I've reviewed packages of loans uh and and the mortgage back securities and and all of that stuff.
And and the reason I was calling w was uh uh y everybody's heard Obama saying, Oh, uh I I'm gonna put all my emphasis in in into the student loans now.
Uh and uh I want to remind everybody, anybody that paid any attention to student loans knows that we've already had to bail out Sally May because of all the delinquent loans that were there.
And uh it i i i i it's just the mini version of the current things that's going on now.
Uh and and and uh now he's gonna go on and and uh go go a huge uh advance in that and they'll pull the same dumb garbage that they pulled before of oh no, bank we we we won't let you put in the contract that th that if if if you take this government loan uh th that one percent or two percent or three percent or five or ten percent uh of your take home pay check gets automatically sent to pay your loan.
Oh no, though that that's just too cruel.
And and we w we we won't allow any of the judges that when you get into court that s set up a solution f w when the thing ends up in a w in a workout that that they can impose that kind of thing.
Oh no, that's too cruel.
I mean uh that th that's the kind of lunacy that the de uh uh Democrats have been pulling on us.
Uh uh I sat there when doing the exams when when Bill Clinton took over and CRA clobbered us.
Yes.
Everybody's unfair.
It is so unfair to enforce these rigorous standards that uh other people are forced to obey.
Can I read you something?
Uh you're gonna love this, Harlan.
This is Stanley Kurtz.
God bless Stanley Stanley Kurtz, National Review, and uh uh he's uh at the Ethics and Public Policy um Institute as well.
And this guy, he has gone to Chicago, he's trying to find out about the the uh Ayers Anadberg challenge, they've hidden some of the papers he just they the Obama people have attacked him on radio and so forth.
Listen to this.
He has a piece on uh acorn, Barack Obama, and the Democrat Party entitled Planting Seeds of Disaster at National Review Today.
Quote, you've got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank.
Your job pays uh your dog food wages, your credit history's been bent, stapled, and mutilated.
You declared bankruptcy in 1989, don't despair you can still buy a house, unquote.
That is how an article in 1995 in April began in the Chicago Sun Times that went on to direct prospective home buyers fitting this profile to a far-left community organizer group called Acorn for assistance.
In respect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness.
But at the time, the 1995 Chicago newspaper article represented something of a triumph for Obama that same year.
As a director of Chicago's Woods Fund, Obama was successfully pushing for a major expansion of assistance to Acorn and sending still more money Acorn's way from his post as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
So in the Chicago Sun-Times, April of 1995.
You only got a couple grand in a bank, your job pays your dog food wages, your credit history's been bent stable, mutilated, you declared bankruptcy, don't discare, despair, you can still buy a house.
So and you've you've and uh these become worthless and they have to be packaged uh and sold and and and fired up as as as uh securities or derivatives or whatever the hell they they do with them.
Well, hey, it the the bankers I was at knew when they granted them these were nothing they wanted, so so they never held them in their portfolio longer than it took to sell them.
And and the that uh Sally or Fanny or Freddie would be buying them immediately, so it uh it i if if it was a one billion dollar package, it might take a little longer than a half a million dollar uh uh th than a five hundred million dollar project,
but uh or or it might it might go to ten million, so they'd have to have it on the books for three months before they could get enough together to the whole point is it's worthless because the people can't repay it.
Obama paying Acorn, funding Acorn to go out and make these kinds of moves and put this kind of pressure on people.
And it's been a scheme from the get-go to create exactly what's happened.
I gotta go.
I'm I'm glad you called Harlan.
We'll be back here.
Continue in just a minute.
Louise in Indianapolis.
Uh Obama was there today.
Were you there?
I sure am.
Mega mega megadiddles rush.
We love you here in Indianapolis.
Um, I'm calling because I think this Obama quote tax rebate is the biggest scam going.
He's gonna let the Bush tax cut expire.
We're gonna jack up everybody's taxes, including those making over two hundred and fifty.
He's gonna slap another tax on top of that, and then he's gonna give us a measly some undeterminate amount percentage for one year back.
Yeah, big whoop.
But it's fake.
Because he's gonna raise the taxes when he lets the tax cuts expire.
Yeah, this I know that is a tax increase.
But I'll tell you something else.
This business that he's gonna cut taxes on 95% of the American.
Only 70 percent, barely 70 percent are paying taxes, and by the time Obama gets through, the number paying taxes will be 37%.
Uh not 30.
It's g it uh uh uh forty-three percent uh will be paying taxes.
And the balance will not be.
By the time he gets through with this.
This this is and that would be so easy to swat out of the park.
Ninety-five percent are gonna get a tax cut.
Uh you know, this is uh dirty little secret is that Obama's secret new voting block is the thirty percent of people that don't pay taxes now.
They're the ones that want everybody else's taxes raised so they can live off of it from the government.
Yeah, we we're doing we're doing pee in cities people that don't pay taxes.
Oh, the poor middle class, oh, we gotta cut their tax.
They've had their taxes cut.
Now they're paying payroll taxes.
But when it comes to income taxes, they're not paying a 30% of American taxpayers don't pay income tax.
Not 30% of the population, 30% of taxpayers don't pay federal income tax.
And he runs around 95% of the American people are gonna get a tax cut.
It doesn't work out.
The numbers don't work out.
Thank you, Louise.
Carrie in Frisco, Texas.
Hello.
Yes, it's Carrie, C-A-R-R-I-E carry.
What a whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What did I say?
I thought you said Perry.
No, no, no.
I said Carrie.
What kind of phone do you have?
Uh I've got a Panasonic like you do, I think.
Yeah, that's the problem.
Anyway, Rush, I'm I'm calling it I'm 68 and a half years old, and I am fit to be tied over this election.
Totally fit to be tied.
I'm either going to get a divorce or have a stroke or a heart attack before it's over because I'm driving my husband crazy with all of this stuff.
But anyway, what I'm really calling you about today is about the um debate last night.
Yeah.
Uh is it just me or it appeared to me that these people that were there that supposedly these they were their questions?
They couldn't even read the question.
I thought that was.
I thought there was, yeah, I just was going through the sound bites here.
There was one question from a Theresa Finch.
How can we trust either and you with our money when both parties got it and then global economic money?
Now, I guarantee you there is not an average citizen that talks that way.
Global econom and furthermore, both they just were not intelligent enough to write those kind of questions.
They couldn't even read them.
Yeah, well, you're making a good point.
Brokaw made sure that Obama was protected.
Oh, yeah.
You know, the reason the reason the reason McCain likes these town halls is he likes interacting with the people, not some guy they dragged out of Jurassic Park and a mausoleum.
And they had these questions, and and they made sure that abortion didn't come up, immigration didn't come up, gun control didn't come up.
All of these issues that are crucially important to people in a presidential race.
It was just the same old stuff we've heard over and over again.
Just the generic stuff, you know.
Yep, yep, yep.
But I don't think for one minute those people wrote those questions.
I'll never believe it.
Well, you never know, they're a bunch of moderates in there.
They had to be a bunch of moderate undecided.
But do you think they wrote them?
If it was their question, they couldn't even write.
I'm telling you, it's it it's sort of like it's sort of like have you ever watched a golf tournament on a golf channel?
Yeah.
They've got a couple people at golf channel that like a guy will sink a par putt, and the announcer babe will say, and he authors a par.
Nobody authors a par on a golf course.
You make a par.
And nobody, I'm when I'm gonna play golf this afternoon.
I'm not gonna if I make a par, I'm not gonna turn to my butt.
Oh, look at me.
