Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back.
It's Rush Limboy and the EIB Network.
Great to have you with us.
It's the fastest three hours in media.
And also the fastest weekend.
If you're just joining us, a raucous weekend here, and I'm just a little horse from it.
And I am doing my professional best to cover for the hoarseness.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
If you'd like to join us, the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
If you just joined us, I spent a lot of the first hour exposing one of the uh greatest uh efforts by Obama at mischaracterization, misrepresentation, perhaps out and out lying, and that is his claim that most small businesses earn less than 250,000.
He doesn't specify net or gross.
I don't know.
He's the guy to ask, not me.
I don't think he even knows what he's saying.
I think it's a campaign tactic.
The 250,000 dollar figure is a magical number for him.
Anybody above it is going to get a tax increase, he says anybody below it is going to get a tax cut.
But that's a lie, too.
He twice voted to raise taxes on seniors.
He said he would eliminate federal income taxes for seniors earning less than 50,000.
However, he twice voted for a budget resolution that would have raised taxes on anybody earning 42,000 a year.
This little socialist squirrel cannot keep his lies straight.
But it doesn't matter because the drive-bys are not demanding any information or explanation from him on this.
They are helping him promote all of these things.
Senator Obama, and this is a this is from uh MSNBC's first read, or NBC's first reading, well, MSNBC, posted Thursday, October 2nd.
Barack Obama voted twice in favor of the Democrats' FY 2009 budget resolution that would raise taxes on those making just 42,000 a year.
He's out there saying if you make 250 grand or more, you get a tax increase.
If you make less, you get a tax cut.
He's lying.
All the minutiae, all the details here are not that relevant.
Now, one other thing I want to say, just an additional thing about before we get to some audio sound bites here.
Uh Bill Kristol has a column today in the uh in the New York Times lamenting the McCain campaign.
Yeah, the McCain campaign got to be fired.
Gotta fire the McCain campaign.
That's how he opens it up.
It's time for John McCain to fire his campaign.
Well, now, got me to thinking about something.
In the first place, McCain, or rather, uh David Brooks and and uh uh Bill Kristol, when they both were at the Weekly Standard back in 2001, wrote a long piece.
I have it here.
I'm not gonna read it to you.
We'll link to it at rushlinbaugh.com for later this afternoon.
They wrote a long piece defining conservative redefining conservatism.
What it means that what was wrong with American conservatism was there wasn't any America in it.
Conservatism was elite, it was special, it was for select few.
We need to broaden it, is their point.
And they were both touting McCain as the nominee in 2000 and in 2008.
They got exactly what they were gonna get.
This is the campaign they wanted.
They wanted a campaign reaching out to try to get Democrats to vote for Republicans.
They wanted a campaign trying to get independence to vote for Republicans.
They wanted a campaign that de-emphasized the Republican base.
They've got it, and now they say fire the campaign.
Fire themselves.
I've never met Brooks.
I know I know Bill Kristol and I like him.
I have a uh I haven't seen him in a while, but have always had a very civil relationship with him.
When he's he's come under fire several times in his career, and I was, you know, took up for him.
But this never made any sense to me.
Now they've got exactly what they want, and it's not just these two.
It's not just Brooks and Crystal.
There's a bunch of people on our side, the so-called conservative media, who have been wanting to de-emphasize Reagan conservatism.
I mean, they said the era of Reagan's over.
But notice the era of FDR is never over.
Notice the era of LBJ is never over.
But yeah, the era of Reagan is over.
No, we got a redefined conservatism.
I'm sorry.
They got the exact campaign they wanted.
And now they want it, they don't like it.
Well, what the hell did they what did they expect was going to happen when you have a campaign, Republican campaign that is going to emphasize attracting Democrats and moderates in order to win.
I remember back earlier in this year when McCain pulled the nomination out of the fire with a help of Huckabee.
And I remember warning you.
Folks, I don't know.
I don't, I'm not crazy about this idea of going out and attracting Democrats as Democrats.
And going out and attracting independents as independence.
Reagan moved the country to the right.
Reagan didn't get Democrat votes by telling Democrats they're going to be comfortable as Democrats in the Republican Party, because we're going to de-emphasize conservatism.
Reagan made several million Democrats like conservatism.
So he attracted them.
But the McCain campaign strategy always was to play off the fact of how well he reaches across the aisle.
Okay, so where are we?
Well, I'm looking at the polling numbers.
You gotta you're gonna spread anywhere from 11 to 4.5 or five points.
And as I look at the internals, I don't see a whole lot of Democrats voting for McCain.
I don't see it.
I never did see it, but I but others said they thought it was gonna happen.
Where are they?
Where are these Democrats voting for McCain?
Where are the independents that are voting for McCain?
A story today.
Now, this is the AP, so you know it's worth the toilet paper here that they write it on.
Independence split evenly between Obama and McCain.
Well, if that's true, then they're awash, and it doesn't matter what they do.
If they're split evenly, they ain't the answer.
Right?
Now my guess is they're not split evenly.
They're probably tilting McCain, which is why the AP, AP Obama wrote this BS.
As election day approaches, though, independents are sounding more like Democrats than Republicans.
Well, that's because they are.
It's because they are the independents or Democrats in waiting.
What caused McCain to surge?
It was the choice of Palin.
Who's Palin?
She's a conservative down the line, maybe a couple detours here and there, but she's a conservative.
They're trying to uh, by the way, diminish her by saying she's a populist.
Drive-by's today have stories.
If this woman's the future of the Republican Party, the Republican Party's dead.
That's what they're writing today.
Well, we can take that to mean just the exact opposite.
If she or somebody like her is the future of the Republican Party, Democrats have a lot to worry about.
Okay, so McCain goes out and chooses Palin surprise move.
At that point you could say, aren't too many Democrats now going to cross the aisle?
Because I mean, why would a Democratic, you know, she's rock ribbed conservative perception is pro-life down syndrome, baby.
This is not the way you go out and attract Democrats.
And McCain's been trying to do it, but apparently it's not working.
So what is it that these guys all learn too late in the game?
But by the way, I do not think it's too late in a game.
I still think this is wide open, and I still think there's a great chance, and that's why I'm talking about all this stuff today.
There is a great chance if a full-fledged conservative twist, turn whatever in these last three weeks can make a huge difference.
Because you if you're Republican candidate, you're not going to win without your base being fired up, and Palin's done that.
And it's it's it's incumbent upon the campaign that he knows fire the campaign, I don't know, candidates to campaign here.
But it's not, it it certainly is not too late for this.
Let's listen.
In fact, uh Ed Grab soundbites 27-28.
This is this morning in Virginia Beach.
Virginia's now swing state.
We used to own this state, but Obama's running TV ads in North Carolina or North North Virginia, which is the populated D.C. suburbs.
They're running uh campaigns about how wonderful his white mother is, his white grandmother uh is he is running as uh he's running as a Caucasian in uh in Northern Virginia.
And he's been doing this with local TV ads all along.
Palin today at a joint rally.
We have two sound bites.
Here's the first.
We know that all across America right now, there's a lot of anger, there's anger about the insider dealing of lobbyists, And anger about the greed on Wall Street and anger about the arrogance of the Washington elite and anger about voter fraud.
America.
America, let John McCain turn that anger into action.
See, as a senator, John has confronted the corrupt ways of Washington and the wasteful spending and the abuses of power.
As president, he's gonna end those once and for all.
Here's the second bite.
We have 22 days to go.
We're six points down.
The national media has written us off.
Senator Obama.
Senator Obama is measuring the drapes.
And planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections.
And concede defeat in Iraq and concede defeat in Iraq.
My friends, I won't concede defeat.
I'll bring our troops home with victory and with honor.
My friends.
But you know, you know what they forgot?
They forgot to let you decide.
My friends, we've got them just where we want them.
In a way, he is right.
In a way, we do have them right where we want them because they think it's over.
They're measuring the drapes.
Pelosi and Hoyer are planning a post-Obama election special session of Congress.
Anytime somebody with three weeks to go, is this sure that it's over?
This sure it's in the bag.
They are ripe.
It's going to take the right approaches to do so, but they are ripe.
It is not over by any stretch of the imagination.
I gotta take a brief time out.
We'll do it.
Be back right after this.
Don't go away.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I just became aware of something.
This this could be interesting.
I mean, this could be very, very big.
And it involves my Congressman.
Now, I want to take you back to the 2006 midterm elections.
Are you all, ladies and gentlemen?
Uh, remember why those elections actually were lost is because of the word macaca in the Senate by George Allen and Mark Foley, who was not our Congressman, is close by, but he's not our congressman.
Mark Foley and the uh text messages to the pages.
House pages.
And that allowed the Democrats and the media to talk to talking about the culture of corruption that existed in the House of Representatives, how horrible it was, and for six weeks it was macaca and foley.
Macaca and Foley.
Never-ending investigations.
Try this.
This is from ABC News.
West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a 121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff, who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.
Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, who was married, also promised the woman Patricia Allen a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising.
A Mahoney spokesperson would not answer questions about the alleged affair or the settlement, but said that Alan resigned of her own accord and has not received any special payment from campaign funds.
Senior Democrat leaders in the House of Representatives, including Representative Rahm Emanuel, Democrat Illinois, the chair of the Democrat caucus, have been working with Mahoney to keep the matter from hurting his re-election campaign.
This from Mahoney Staffers.
A spokesman for Emmanuel denies that account, but said that Emmanuel did confront Mahoney upon hearing a rumor about an affair in two thousand seven and told him he was in public life and he had a public responsibility to act accordingly.
The spokesperson added that it was a private conversation had nothing to do with Mahoney's re-election prospects.
Now, ladies and gentlemen.
So, Was Rom Emanuel involved in the hush money error effort?
Did the Democrats circle the wagons around Tim Mahoney in order to keep this news and the payment of $121,000 to the hush money payment of $121,000 to the mistress?
Did they circle the wagons and was Rahmanuel involved in this?
Let us see, Chuckle Chuckle, how aggressive the drive-by media is on this.
Let's see if they run story after story about this as they did with Foley.
But here we actually have Emmanuel named a top house Democrat, big lieutenant to Pelosi.
To what extent was he involved in this hush money and cover up?
And who else knew about it?
I'll tell you this.
We know that this is this is this is far more egregious and criminal than anything Foley did.
Foley was sending text messages.
Pure and simple.
This will continue to unfold before our very eyes and ears, at least it will here.
But again, this is from ABC News.
We'll see how eager they are to follow it up.
This is my congressman having an affair a year after he gets elected on the basis of some so-called sex scandal involving Mark Foley.
Now he's out there having an affair with a woman who was blackmailing him, threatening to sue him, so he pays her off 121 grand.
And all the Democrats can say, well, it didn't come from campaign money.
Didn't come from campaign.
We lectured him.
We told him he's got to live a responsible life.
Rahm Emanuel named.
Here's Carl.
We're going to go to the phones.
We're going to start Jacksonville, Florida.
Hi, Carl.
Nice to have you, sir, on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing, Rush?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Um, when you when you were talking about the uh small businesses, I mean, I'm probably the smallest business owner right now.
You can, you know, when you talk about people having owning small businesses, because I'm I'm doing I'm a single man operation.
I'm I'm trying to make my business grow, and I know it's going to grow.
And it's going to do well past 250 gross.
That's that's what I'm talking about.
And my concern is what's my incentive then to hire guys to even make this business grow if I'm going to get taxed up the yin yang that that he's talking about, Obama.
And and I don't think it's it's it's uh I think he's talking about gross.
I don't think he's talking about income.
Because uh small businesses, I mean there's thousands of us out there that own small businesses and do this.
I mean, it's it's it's ridiculous.
We don't know what he's talking about.
Well, that's the thing, and that's what I always talk about.
We don't know if he's talking income, we don't know if he's talking gross, we don't know, and he doesn't either.
None of this is true.
The two hundred and fifty thousand dollar figure and his statement that ninety-five or most ninety-five percent of small businesses earn less than that.
Gross, net inventory, whatever.
It's just the magic figure to play the class envy card.
But he's got he's gotta clarify that because it's scary.
I mean, it and I I'm telling you, everybody I know is a small business owner.
They have a lot of people.
Let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
Sure.
This statement that he's gonna raise taxes on people over 250 grand, he's made it numerous times in campaign.
It was last week in the town hall presidential debate where he said small businesses, the vast majority of them are 250,000 or less.
He didn't clarify, specify the thing.
You say, well, he's gonna have to be forced to explain it.
Other than today, have you heard anybody even reference the fact he said it in that debate?
No.
That's a that's a good one.
Did you watch the debate?
Did you watch the debate yourself?
Yes, I did.
You didn't even pick up on it then until I talked about it today.
I wish he did.
I've been I've been talking about it for the past month, and I don't hear anybody talking about it and trying to get more specific on it.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's what and and that's crazy, because there are a lot of small businesses that make over 250.
When I say I'm I'm not, I just started last year.
And my business will go over 250,000 because that's I know it can.
And I know there's and the guys that I do business with, and the people that are around me that do own small businesses, I'm doing more than 250,000 a year.
And that's what, and then that's what we're doing.
Okay, look, look at I got very little timer.
Do the your friends know what's headed for them?
Yes, they do, and they're not that's why we're not voting for Barack Obama.
All right.
Well, if you're running to people, that doesn't matter, you know, don't use Obama's name.
Well, you'll have to use Obama's name.
Just you run into other small businesses who don't know what's in store for them, tell them.
We'll be back after this.
Well, now this is interesting.
We have an AP Obama story that uh just cleared the wires about 45 minutes ago.
Democrat Barack Obama calling for a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a two-year tax break for businesses that create jobs as part of a plan to heal the nation's economy.
The presidential candidate says that banks that participate in the federal bailout should temporarily postpone foreclosures for families making good faith efforts to my this is so wide open.
Postpone foreclosures for families making good faith efforts.
What's a what's a good faith effort?
You're one month behind, you're two months behind, you're six months behind, and you're non-mowing a yard?
What's what's a good faith effort?
Wait, this gets better.
And by the way, two-year tax break for businesses that create jobs.
Well, what business would not go out and create a job?
If all you have to do to get a two-year tax break is go out and create a job, who wouldn't do that?
So it can't be there's got to be businesses that create jobs.
What's that mean?
How many jobs, and not only how many, but who must you hire in those jobs?
Let us not forget who we're talking about here.
We're talking about the United Socialist states of America.
He also called for a $3,000 tax credit for each additional full-time job a business creates.
That tax break would end after 2010.
So whoopy do.
You get a one-year tax break of three grand or tax credit for every additional full-time job you hire.
So Obama is going to replace the market, but only for one year, and then all of a sudden you don't get the tax credit after you've hired these people.
For every full-time job, doesn't say small business.
For every full-time job a business creates, Obama is also proposing letting people withdraw up to 10,000 from their retirement accounts without any penalty this year and next.
As a way of can Obama, do you know that there isn't much left in them?
Barry, there are not a whole lot left in people's retirement accounts right now.
But beyond that, Barry, do you know what your guys in the House are doing?
George Miller is crafting legislation that would eliminate this tax break for a lot of people who deduct money from their pay to go into their 401k.
And then the last line, I get this.
From this is Christopher Willis at the uh Associated Press Obama.
The Obama campaign emphasizes these ideas can be done quickly, either through executive order or legislation.
The AP, a press release for the Obama campaign.
Now, one other thing about this Tim Mahoney business.
This infuriates me over what happened in 2006.
Get Makaka out of there, get Mark Foley out of there.
Neither of those two guys did anything that warranted the kind of investigation, the kind of intense scrutiny.
Ron Emanuel was all worked up about Mark Foley, if you remember, folks.
He demanded an ethics investigation and media joined in.
They started shouting about the culture corruption and all that.
Now we have an accusation that Rom Emanuel was involved in the cover up of Congressman Tim Mahoney, Democrat Florida, who paid $121,000 in hush money to a mistress who was threatening to sue him.
Ram Emanuel knew of the money payments.
We know the Democrat Congress won't look into this, but now we shall see just how worthless the media are, as if we don't already know.
If they'll keep this as a one-day flash in the pen story, or if they'll determine whether the House Democrat leadership was involved in the hush money.
You know, it is interesting.
Somebody wrote the other day over the over the weekend, and go back to uh Bill Clinton's second term.
And it was fascinating.
It was fascinating for a time.
The drive-bys were actually obsessed with finding the blue dress and a cigar.
Even though the blue dress and the cigar would provide problems for Bill Clinton, they couldn't wait.
They were doing everything.
They were discrediting everybody on on the uh on the right in the process, but they were still desperate to get hold of that dress and the cigar.
They wanted to find out what happened.
Probably so they could cover it up, but they still wanted to find out what happened.
There's no desire here to find out anything about Obama.
All they want to do is cover up Obama.
And we will see if they if their salacious interests.
Well, hell, what am I talking about?
We already know they had to be dragged and kicking and screaming by the National Inquirer to the uh to the Breck girl story.
So I'm not expecting this is gonna be a one-day flash in a pan, and not even ABC is gonna take it much farther than this.
Because what ABC will say, well, this doesn't reach the threshold of continuing because he was reprimanded by the Democrat leadership.
They'll then they'll say the Republican leadership tried to cover up Foley.
They try to keep anybody from knowing it.
Oh, well, we can say, well, the Democrat leadership knew of the hush money payment.
What we want to know is did Emmanuel suggest it?
Did the Democrat leadership suggest this?
We know they knew about it.
Foley was never accused of paying anybody anything to buy their silence.
This this is far more serious than the Foley matter.
Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, he paid the ultimate price.
He left Congress altogether.
So you might want to say, well, what does Pelosi know?
She's supposed to know everything that goes on in there.
If she knew nothing, how is that possible?
Isn't it her job to know in an election year who of her members are vulnerable?
Damn well she knows this.
You damn well straight she has to know about this story.
So you had a Republican Congress thrown out of there because it was said to spend too much.
This Democrat Congress has spent hundreds of billions more than that Congress.
They were thrown out before they were because they said to be steeped in in corruption, yet this scandal is far worse than Foley.
We shall see.
Well, let's see.
Let's go to Mike in Detroit.
Mike, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Outstanding.
I want to talk a little bit about the uh tax situation also with uh as it relates to small business.
And uh something I think that John McCain needs to get his arms around very, very quickly.
Um, because I I really don't think he he sort of gets what we are going through out here.
Uh Barack Obama is definitely Captain Nebulous, no doubt about it.
And uh I do believe he's talking about uh uh individual income as opposed to just corporate income.
But let me explain quickly how that adds up.
I've got about a $25 million company here.
We employ several hundred people, uh, mostly in the Midwest, but throughout the country.
And there are thousands of businesses between the let's say five million and fifty million dollar in revenue companies around the United States that are providing most of the most of the job creation that we have today.
Um when you when you take the income that we have as individuals, the way the tax structures work for most private companies is whatever earnings we have, pre-tax earnings the company has are added on top of your personal income, and that makes people with high growth businesses well, well over that 250,000 dollar range, and you are going to smack us uh down in our ability to create jobs.
No question.
Well, uh what hold on a second.
You're you're I'm a little confused because you've got a business, you say 25 to How much?
Um 35 million dollar business.
Our business is 25 million, yes.
25 million dollars, and you you you think I would assume that you you're you're you know Obama's number is two hundred and fifty thousand.
What do you think?
We don't know.
What do you think he means that two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is?
Well, I I I think he I think he means the income from the business.
But what I'm saying is, you know, he's right about one thing, and that is that the material.
Okay, well, hold it, hold it, because I got you gotta help me out here.
Okay.
You're 25 million dollar small business.
Yep.
Do you earn less than 250,000 a year on it?
No.
Well, of course not.
No.
And and that's what what I'm saying is the 75% of the jobs today in America that are being created are being created by small businesses.
Exactly right.
And the growth companies in there are about uh usually in the five to fifty million dollar range are still considered small businesses.
Under 500 employees.
We're the ones that are gonna get just absolutely slapped silly.
And our ability to create jobs is gonna be seriously impaired.
You throw the the in the uh take away the cap on the Social Security tax and and make that unlimited.
This it becomes Armageddon.
Oh, I know.
That's uh that's that's uh I don't know if he's gonna make it unlimited, but he's certainly going to raise the ceiling.
No question.
There's no question.
But you you guys were all gonna get soaked.
I mean, this is the point.
We're all gonna get soaked, even in an economy like this.
Well, that and that and that's it.
I mean, right now, if we it sounded to me with what you were talking about earlier, like I'm gonna get a tax break on my tax increase.
Is that what I'm hearing?
Yes.
A tax cut on your tax increase.
Uh this guy's a train wreck looking for a pair of tracks.
And he I think unfortunately, I think he's found them.
Well, look at here's uh my I I maintain that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Oh, you're I don't think there's any question.
I think I I think he's got some economic people down there preparing all this.
He's not yet economic people.
He has got political people putting together an economic proposal that uses this magic number to convince most people that everybody but them is going to get soaked.
And this comes after they keep saying eight years of nothing but tax cuts for the wealthy, and this economy is in the dregs because of tax cuts for the wealthy.
And so those people, those rich people have caused me to lose my house, this is the theory from Obama campaign headquarters.
They're gonna pay now.
Obama's gonna stick it to them.
It's the old class envy business.
You know, in the past, it it's been debatable as to how effective it's been.
It didn't work for Mondel and Carter against uh against uh Ronaldo's Magnus.
It didn't work for Al Gore and John Kerry against Bush.
But they weren't in uh as dire economic circumstances as uh as it did work for Clinton, you might say, in 1992, but that also happened when perception was that we were wholesome in the worst economy in the uh in the last fifty years.
This is why I've been trying to reach out to the people, regardless what your political persuasion is.
I know a lot of Democrats own small businesses, and I know a lot of a lot of Democrats work for small businesses.
And you're gonna get we're all gonna get soaked if this guy actually implements what he is promising to implement.
So now we're gonna get tax cuts if you create a job.
That's the latest economic proposal from the from the Obama political team.
Tax cuts if you create a job.
You could also say that that Obama's this is the kind of thinking that would lead uh Obama to try to get Representative Mahoney's mistress a job so that she shuts up the rest of the election cycle.
Now, is Obama also saying that if you lower taxes, that you encourage businesses to create jobs, if he's going to give j businesses just for a year a three thousand dollar tax credit that create a full-time job, is he not admitting that cutting taxes creates jobs.
Obama does not know what he's talking about.
He is repeating it and regurgitating it according to his political people.
I am not more clear than ever before on this.
Well, let's see here, stock market up five eighty-three.
I'm waiting for Obama to take credit for it.
Gasoline price is down on average thirty cents, thirty-five cents across the country waiting for Obama to take the credit for it.
The war in Iraq is going well.
The Iraqi stock market is booming, by the way.
And they're just doing marvelous things with their oil contracts over there and production.
And we all know that's due to Bush embracing the Obama exit strategy.
And let's see, we have uh we've sent more forces to Afghanistan, by the way, which is having an immediate impact, a hundred and so Taliban people dead today.
And we know that's due to Bush following Obama's proposal to send more forces there.
I'm just giving you tomorrow's headlines.
Obama uh says stock market up on his advice on how to deal with it.
But you you know this is gonna happen.
This is the way the drive-by's are uh are playing this.
This is Sherry in New Brunfelds, Texas.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Sherry.
Yes, yes.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
Just a great honor.
Hey, thanks for giving us a voice.
Small business person here with a son who will be headed to Iraq in January.
God bless.
Hey, um, what I want to talk to you about today is um the Democrats plan to spend your way out of debt for America.
And it goes against everything I was ever raised to believe.
And I do not, I'm so frustrated that Americans are falling for this.
It just frustrates me to know it.
Well, not all Americans are, but enough are, and the reason they're falling for it's because they're the one getting the spending.
They're the ones receiving it.
But they're the ones that are not going to be foreclosed on.
They're the ones no, no, I'm not doing the the the family made grant gang.
The the people should have never been went the money in the first place.
Uh extended unemployment benefits so people don't have to look for a job.
Uh Obama's proposing that even right now.
Immediate relief to family.
They're talking about another economic stick stimulus package.
They're talking about expanding food stamps.
And so, yeah, you you can't you can't get your business or your household out of debt by spending like like crazy, but they can because the people that get the spending, enough of them that vote.
Well, Rash, you know, there's intelligence is one thing, but wisdom is another.
And there's some just wise facts that I think many Americans were raised with that is is kind of falling off the table.
And one of those is nothing in life is free.
Nothing.
Oh, we got rid of that in this country.
Where were you, 30, 40 years ago?
There's a growing percentage of people in this country since the New Deal who think that there certainly are things for free, and they write.
Free to them.
They're not free to you and me and others who pay for it, but there are a lot of people that get free stuff.
But it's not free.
But some of them are.
I know, but but they don't.
As I mentioned, Obama's got this new voting group.
This new voting block.
The 30 or 35% of people don't pay federal income taxes.
He's trying to make them into a single voting block.
That's who he's going after with his 250,000 dollar figure that he's thrown around all over the place.
And all this stuff about tax cuts for the rich causing this economic climate that we're in, the uh greed, the uh Wall Street Greed, everybody but the people who are really responsible for this housing problem are being pointed fingers at by Obama.
And that group of people is believing it.
They're not enough to win an election uh by themselves, but that's why this stuff's a constant battle.
A Democrat Party is uh is is doing and will continue to do what it has always done, actually since since LBJ, the last Democrat in the old days that I really knew as a Democrat's JFK.
LBJ came in with the new deal too.
Great society, war on poverty.
Didn't work.
New Deal one didn't either.
But don't try to tell anybody that they think you're nuts.
They think it saved us from the depression.
Uh New Deal 2 didn't work, so well, let's by all means try New Deal three.
And we're in the midst of it.
Now they're not they're not enough to win an election, but that's why they always have to be funny.
You it's I love relying on the on the character, the strength, and the wisdom of the American people, but you have to keep educating people for that wisdom and strength and character to maintain, because the left is going to perpetually try to dumb them down.
We'll be back.
Have you heard of Democrat Congressman?
My Congress had an affair in 2007 and paid off the mistress 121 grand to shut her up.
Have you heard about this?
You haven't?
