Time Text
All right, if you people that are on hold will stay there.
We're going to get to you very quickly in the hour today.
I know that I know, I guess sometimes it's tough to stay on hold for a long time, but at least when you call this show, you know that the odds being on hold, at least in the first hour, are pretty good.
So we'll get to you as quickly as possible here.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, it is the nation's most listened to radio talk show, Rush Limbaugh, meeting.
and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis to repeat the highlights of the first hour.
Philadelphia, they're trying to steal it.
The Democrats are trying to steal.
We've got audio soundbites coming up.
Virginia, they're doing the same thing with military ballots.
They are not behaving at all like people who expect a landslide victory.
Exit polls are going to come out.
I don't know if there's a first wave anymore.
Normally, two o'clock wave and a five o'clock wave.
May just be 5 o'clock, not sure.
Expect the exit polls to show a result not close to reality.
The drive-bys cannot wait to declare an Obama victory tonight.
They're going to do it as soon as they can.
The odds are that they will get some states wrong at first are pretty high, I think, based on the people in the track record of lying to exit pollsters and the sample of Democrats that participate compared to Republicans being much higher.
I think Pennsylvania is a state that McCain can win.
I think Virginia is a state that McCain can win, contrary to conventional wisdom in the drive-by media.
North Carolina, this is what's crazy.
North Carolina, lots of people are leaving high-tax regions in the Northeast and moving to North Carolina, Democrats, and they're going to vote for high-tax candidates.
They're going to vote for the same people that created policies that made them flee their homes in the first place.
David Frum's diary today at National Review Online.
Listen to this.
And if you're Jewish and haven't voted yet, look at me.
The Greek newspaper Avriani features today a big photograph of Obama and the following headline, the end of Jewish domination in the United States.
From posted a link to the news roundup from the Athens News Agency that cites the headline, the world rejoicing.
If Obama does win, are you prepared to see militant Muslims around the world in Arab countries dancing in the streets and throwing parties?
You probably will see that.
The drive-bys may not show that to you.
They might keep that from public view.
But the Greek newspaper Avriani features today a big photograph of Obama and the headline, The End of Jewish Domination in the United States.
As we mentioned, among other voters who've shown up to vote at the Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, along with Obama, were Calypso Louie and William Ayers.
They all live in the same neighborhood.
They live in the same precinct.
Bill Ayers dedicated a book to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy.
Farrakhan is the country's best-known Jew hater.
And both these guys know Obama well.
They're good neighbors.
They worked together on policy in the past.
And the Greek newspaper Avriani celebrates the end of Jewish domination in America if Obama wins.
Audio soundbites, a replay here for those of you just joining us.
This is Jim Moran, a Democrat congressman from Virginia.
And again, this is the crux of what this election is all about.
We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in this simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth.
And they may be able to sustain that for a while, but it doesn't work in the long run.
Capitalism doesn't work in the long run.
May be able to sustain it for a while.
Jim Moran, Joe the Plumber, found this out and extracted it from Obama.
The biggest problem you people have wealth is that you expect to keep it.
You earned it, you expect to keep it.
Who the hell do you think you are?
You have an antipathy toward giving it away.
No, we don't have an antipathy toward giving it away.
We have an antipathy toward it being stolen.
We have an antipathy toward people who have no right to it, taking it, thinking it is their wealth to redistribute as they see fit.
The crux of what this election is all about.
Rick Leventhal, Fox News, reporting from Philadelphia.
I don't even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of Philadelphia.
One of the two Black Panthers who was allegedly blocking the door of this polling place is standing right over here, who then accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and a microphone.
He didn't answer questions, but other people here have confirmed that another person in Black Panther attire was holding a nightstick, and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote.
Black Panthers in Philadelphia intimidating voters.
They are trying to steal Pennsylvania because they don't have Pennsylvania.
And Fast Eddie Rindell warned Obama of this for the past week.
Here is a citizen's account of what's going on in Philadelphia.
Rick Leventhal asked the citizen, what's going on here?
We got a phone call that there was intimidation going on.
And so as I walked up to the door, two gentlemen in Black Panther guard, one of them brandishing a nightstick, standing immediately in front of the door.
As I walked up, they closed ranks next to each other.
You know, I'm an Army veteran.
That doesn't scare me.
So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers.
They said they've been here for about an hour, and they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.
Black people are going to win this election no matter what.
Black Panther Guard intimidating people.
Leventhal says to another citizen, well, this is the first time I have heard of Black Panthers being stationed outside of a polling place.
This one gentleman who's still here, is he a poll watcher?
Sure, and he can wear whatever he wants.
The other person, the other Black Panther, was not and is not allowed to be standing here with a nightstick in his hand.
Right.
Well, you can't stand with a nightstick anywhere.
A nightstick is a weapon.
And, you know, obviously you can't stand with a weapon tapping it menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.
But he is.
Or he was.
Amanda Carpenter reporting at townhall.com today, GOP election board members have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.
A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their minority status as a cause.
Now, it's the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Those on site is describing it as pandemonium.
And there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th Divisions, 6th Ward, 12th Division, 32nd Ward Division, 28.
Election Board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process.
The idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes doesn't allow for an honest and open election process, said a McCain Palin spokesman.
Philadelphia was roiled in controversy in 2004.
You might remember this because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, by the way, before the polls had even opened.
A man used also a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, Division 11 in 2004, and a Black Panther guy saying black people are going to win no matter what.
But despite all this, I don't know, folks, gut feeling, whatever.
I think Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I think Pennsylvania is actually going to end up looking pretty good before the day is out.
Snerdley's got this look of just utter shock and disbelief on his face.
And it just tells me, Snerdley, what a prisoner you have become to the templates and drive-by, and you think all this cheating is going to work and so forth.
Philadelphia is Philadelphia.
We know what's going to happen in Philadelphia.
We know what's going to happen in Pittsburgh.
But that's, you know, this state, Pennsylvania, is more than just Philadelphia and Pittsburgh anymore.
By the way, check this.
This is from the Associated Press Obama.
And it's in one of these stories about turnout, record number of voters expected to deluge polls.
It's by Deborah Hastings, A.P. Obama.
Long lines and malfunctioning machines greeted election officials on Tuesday as polls across the country were deluged by people wanting to vote in this historic race between black Democrat candidate Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
Pennsylvania Governor Fast Eddie Rindell urged voters to hang in there as state and county officials braced for a huge turnout in the hotly contested state.
More than 160 people were lined up when the polls opened at the first Presbyterian church in Allentown.
I could stay an hour and a half at the front end or three hours at the back end, joked Ronald Marshall, a black Democrat.
I thought the election was not about race.
And if you're going to tell people Obama's black, why not mention that McCain's white?
But they didn't do that.
So here's the hope and change.
If you're going to vote today in Philadelphia, let me tell you what the hope and change is.
If you bought into this Obama notion of hope and change, the hope and change is that you don't get killed.
The hope is that you don't get beat up by a Black Panther with a nightstick trying to vote against change.
That's the change.
Really, though, is there much change in that circumstance?
I'm waiting on the printer again.
Hang on just a second.
Show prep never stops here in the EIB network.
Okay, here we have a website called, and it's a Lebanese paper.
No, sorry.
The website is www.israelnationalnews.com.
It's by Hannah Levy Julian.
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama privately expressed his support for a new Arab state within Israel's current borders, including Eastern Jerusalem, during his meeting with Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah this summer.
According to a report published Tuesday in the Lebanese paper Al-Abar, Obama told Abbas Obama told Abbas, you know, that's what it says.
Obama told Abbas that he supports a Palestinian state and Arab rights to East Jerusalem as well.
The sources said that Abbas and the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayed heard the best things they ever heard from an American president, quote unquote, during the meeting.
However, sources quoted in the report, the candidate asked him to keep his declaration a secret.
Palestinian Authority spokesman Nimar Hemad said he had no comment on the remarks other than describe the briefing Abbas and Fayed had given to the presidential HOFL.
Palestinian Arabs, Palestinian Authority Arabs who live in Gaza were celebrating in the streets with impromptu demonstrations waving Hamas flags in anticipation of an Obama win.
We know that we had an outsourced fundraising effort going on from Gaza for Obama.
Yeah, this is, you know, what it is, the IsraeliNationalNews.com website here.
But keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, this little passage here that leaders claim presidential candidate Obama asked him to keep his remarks about East Jerusalem secret is consistent with his instructions in Iraq when he was talking to commanders on the ground there when he went back in July before he moved over to Berlin.
He asked them to keep his remarks secret as well and to not leak them.
All right, to the phones we go.
After patiently waiting, we'll start in Peoria.
And this is Steve.
Hello, sir.
Thanks for the call.
Yeah, how are you doing?
Rush, you're a great American.
Thank you, sir, very much.
And welcome to the Mid-America.
Question.
Just for the sake of argument.
Should the Democrats win everything, how long will it be before the people who've elected these people in become disillusioned?
How long before the people who elected these people become disillusioned?
Two years, four years?
No, I don't think it's going to take that long.
Because I think most people voting for Obama have no idea who he really is.
I mean, he's a blank slate to them.
He's a symbol, and they have been able to make him whatever they want.
In fact, Anne Applebaum today in the Washington Post has a pretty good piece, Five Election Myths.
Three of her election myths are these Democrats will be thoughtful and responsible with their newfound power.
Single party rule is efficient.
That's another myth.
And the world will suddenly love us is another myth.
None of these things are going to happen.
If Obama wins, our standing in the world will improve immediately just because he's different.
Unlikely a Congress and White House under the control of a single party will function more efficiently.
That isn't true.
I think they're going to be, there are a lot of people you have to understand, especially some of the doofuses on our side that have endorsed him, don't even understand he's a leftist.
They just think that's positioning.
They think he's going to be a centrist.
He's not really going to be who he is.
I think that there are a lot of people who are going to end up having buyers' remorse, but keep in mind a lot of people won't.
47 million people don't pay income taxes.
There are a lot of people who expect Obama to take care of them.
Now, that also is problematic because Obama can't take care of all 47 million of these people, or he can't take care of half of that, and he can't take care of 1% of that number.
Hell, folks, he can't even take care of his family for crying out loud.
Can we be blunt?
His aunt lives in a slum.
I feel like heading to the top of the Empire State Building and shouting this with the biggest megaphone I can find.
His aunt Zatudi lives in a slum.
And this is the guy with the biggest, most compassionate heart we've ever elected.
His brother lives in a dirt floor hut, nine by 12.
Most of your bathrooms are larger than that.
This guy, Obama's brother, lives in a hut for 12 bucks on 12 bucks a year.
But you know what?
What this question from Steve really gets at?
You know what it really gets at?
Steve wants some Schadenfreude.
Steve thinks we're going to lose out there.
Steve thinks Obama's going to win.
So Steve wants Obama supporters in misery as soon as it can happen.
He wants those people realizing they've goofed up and made a mistake, and he wants to know how long it'll take before they realize that.
I can understand this, ladies and gentlemen.
I can understand people wanting Schadden Freuda, wanting these Obama people to figure out.
Really, it boils down to this, doesn't it?
We all love seeing stupid people learn something.
One of the greatest things in life is to see the stupid actually learn something.
And that's what Steve here in Peoria is basically saying.
Obama's people are a bunch of just glittering jewels of colossal ignorance.
Total.
And at some point, they're going to figure out their mistake.
And not only that, old Steve wants them calling him on the phone begging his forgiveness.
I voted Obama, Steve.
Gosh, can you forgive me?
I had no idea.
Steve, well, we tried to tell you now.
Leave me alone while we save the country from imbeciles like you.
I know exactly what Steve's thinking out there.
That's why I'm host and he's a caller.
Here's Tammy in Oklahoma City.
Hi, Tammy.
Welcome to the Rush Lindblaw Program.
Great to have you here.
Hello, how are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Ma'am, ma'am, madam.
Sorry, thank you.
Yes.
No, that's okay.
I was just calling to tell you about an experience I had with a girlfriend of mine when we were early or trying to early vote on Saturday here in Oklahoma.
By the way, do you know what I saw yesterday flying up to Washington at a football game?
Or maybe it was earlier in the day.
Well, there was a report in the news that yesterday was the last day for early voting in Ohio.
Oh, it was.
It was the last day for early voting in Ohio.
Well, but, well, of course it was.
It's a day before the election.
What?
What?
Today's the last day for early voting.
If the rest of them can get away from the city, okay, you early voted out there in Oklahoma.
Steve Hardy.
Well, we were trying to early vote.
We actually had gone down, and we had a small, I mean, it was a very small McCain Palin bumper sticker on her car.
That's the first mistake.
I warned you yesterday not to do this.
I know.
I'm not the type of girl that gets intimidated.
I'm going to tell you.
So there we go.
We're going to drive down to the polls.
And when we got there, it truly looked like a carnival atmosphere.
They were selling t-shirts.
They had their arms linked.
They were waiting for me.
Look at Fox.
Look at Fox.
I don't believe.
Oh, no.
I'm shocked.
Are you shocked?
I'm shocked.
They just had a video of Hillary.
If she ever sees it, whoever was the cameraman at Fox testicles are going to be in a lockbox.
That's all I'm going to tell you.
Actually, Mike, before we get, we're up to sound by six, and before we get to number seven, though, I'm going to ask you for number 31 again, Jim Moran.
Said you're going to go 6317, and then as long as I feel like it.
All right, we're back to Tammy in Oklahoma City.
Tammy, I terribly sorry.
I apologize for my outburst when I saw the photo of Mrs. Kuwait, the video of Mrs. Clinton in natural light, something we have not seen in 15 years.
And that was very rude, interrupted your comment.
You were telling us that you're in Oklahoma City, and you were wearing a little, you had a little bumper sticker with McCain Palin on the car.
And I expect what you'll say is that you encountered some intimidation.
Yes, it was amazing the amount of intimidation we experienced.
We had our windows down about an inch.
People were screaming things at us that I wouldn't even repeat.
I mean, we had racial slurs coming at us.
We had threats coming at us.
They wouldn't let us turn in.
The police that were there, there were three, they were doing zero to even let us, you know, turn in to go vote.
And in order to stand in line to vote that day, we had a three-hour wait.
So if we were going to get out of the car and be yelled at for three to four hours, I mean, that's insane.
We went ahead and left, and both of us have gone and voted today in our normal precincts.
But what concerns me are two things.
Number one, if there are elderly people or other women that are intimidated to the point where they're not voting, and then also, if this were reverse, if these were McCain Palin supporters who were preventing Obama supporters from voting, it would be all over.
You're damn exactly right on that.
Let me ask you a quick question here.
Sure.
Why?
There's not a criticism.
Don't misunderstand the tone in my voice.
I'm genuinely curious.
Why did you want to go early vote?
The entire reason to early vote that day was, you know, it's really kind of hard to explain.
We just kind of wanted to go out and see number one, what was occurring in the community, and then to show our support for McCain.
Neither one of us are the type of women that cower back from our belief.
I got it.
I got it.
Well, I'm looking at, you know, they have early voting down here where we all live.
Right.
And there are people standing in line for four hours.
What's the point?
It's not going to take that long if you wait till Election Day.
I heard four hours in one.
Did I hear that?
It's at least two hours.
Rachel did, your friend Rachel said, four hours.
Four hours.
I just, it doesn't take that long on election day unless you're voting in Iraq and they're shooting at you.
No, they do not usher me in.
Snirdley's asking me if when I show up to vote, they usher me in like they do the other candidates.
No, I show up and I just get in line like everybody else does.
You know, and I, yeah, I wait in line.
If there's a line, I wait in line and get up there.
It doesn't take me very long.
I go after my vote doesn't count.
You ever feel like you vote five or six o'clock in the afternoon?
It's too late, even though the polls are still open.
It doesn't count.
The exit polls are already done.
The network's out there already telling you your vote doesn't count.
I never go in the morning because I'm too eager to get here to work.
And there are usually lines in the morning, but I haven't found that to be a problem in the afternoon.
Yeah, they give me this course they give you.
You can't get out of there without the I voted sticker.
Yeah, and you put it on.
You put it on your little shirt or whatever and you wear at home.
And I get the usual pointed fingers behind Audacity to come in.
I can't believe it.
This sort of stuff.
He is voting.
We don't even need to give him a ballot.
We can just steal it out now.
But we all, folks, we all share our various forms of intimidation.
You know, the bad thing about it is you've got all these people hanging around like Hillary politicking five feet away from me.
Did you hear she was doing that today?
Based on the video I saw, I don't think it would have been very effective.
Here's Kathy in Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Here in Massachusetts today, we have question one, which is an end to state taxes.
Income tax, state income tax.
Right, which is going to put $3,000 back in all of the taxpayers' pockets, which is going to be fantastic.
Yeah, but it's interesting, too.
You know what?
That would rid the state.
I think, correct me if I'm wrong, the number I read here, that if they repeal the income tax, that the state loses something like $12.5 billion a year.
That seems low.
Is it more than that?
But whatever, it's a large amount of money the state would lose.
Right, but I'm all for it.
I don't like the way they spend our money.
But Governor Patrick has already gone and cut things starting two weeks ago.
And what he cut was programs for the disabled, the blind, the deaf.
And he eliminated programs that help recipients of public assistance find jobs to become self-sufficient.
And I thought, wow, isn't that just wonderful?
I mean, I'm sure him and Obama, you know, they're both very compassionate people, but I just couldn't believe he's already cut those things.
This is how it works.
I'm glad you call him mention this because we here in Florida have recently undergone similar type behavior from the dim-witted city fathers from the various local communities here.
There have been property tax cuts or rumors or desires of cutting property taxes.
So what happens then when these local communities fear that they're going to lose increased property tax revenue, they start bellyaching and caterwalling about all the services they're going to have to cut.
And they start talking about, we may have to close the fire station and we may have to fire half the police force.
And then, of course, and we might even have to reduce the number of school buses and the distances they can travel.
And then by that time, all the parents say, we're not cutting the property tax.
We will not stand for it because they know that if you go out and tell a certain number of people that essential services, they will never cut the money they spent protecting certain kind of plants along the bike path.
They will never cut the money they spend feeding themselves at lunch or what have they will never cut.
They will never remove or cut somebody from the public staff.
It's always, they always go the essential services.
I'm not surprised that your governor, first thing he did, all right, well, we're closing all services for the blind.
You're on your own out there.
And if a bus hits you, blame the people that voted to get rid of the income.
Exactly.
We have Proposition 2.5, so they can't do anything about property taxes here.
And our legislature, of course, you know something?
Your state is like New York.
None of this matters.
The Supreme Court told your legislature to legalize gay marriage.
Oh, please.
Right?
In New York, the Mayor Bloomberg said, hell, with term limits, I'm writing a new law myself.
The city council's going to approve it, aren't you, City Council?
Yes, Mr. Mayor.
And so he's getting booed all over the place because the people voted interim limits, but it's such a desperate time.
Well, our legislature is so panicked that about a week or two weeks ago, one of our state senators, Senator Diane Wilkerson, was found stuffing money into her bra, $100 bills, because of an alleged selling of liquor licenses.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was something funny about that that I said.
But it was at the filibuster bar.
Restaurant.
Yeah, but no, it was the excuse that she gave, or it was the excuse that people gave her.
I forget.
I forget, you know, she was unhappy with the way she was naturally endowed.
This really wasn't about the money.
No, she's very endowed.
So that's not a problem.
Well, I forget what it was, but the excuses that they made for her on this were just, they were just laughable.
And by the way, she's still running for office after being caught red-handed.
She's a right-in candidate because the people in her district, the Democrat, Republican, they both, neither one wanted her.
So she's a right-in candidate.
And of course, she's not going to win.
But Patrick, I mean, Governor Patrick has been for her and has done some commercials for her.
Oh, of course.
Of course.
I mean, if a woman starts stuffing $100 bills inside her bra, that means that Governor Patrick can go in and stuff his hands inside the bill, the bra, and get the bills himself.
Once a politician allows hands under the bra, then any other politician, okay, there's money in the bra.
I'm going to go get the money because that's what they exist to do.
New Hampshire is another state that is thought to be in the Barry bag.
But Barry didn't win New Hampshire.
Hillary did.
And they've got Barry up 14 points in New Hampshire.
But I have a spy in New Hampshire.
Here's the report.
Turn out very, very heavy.
20 to 25 percent of registered voters in this particular district where the spy is, and they're both small towns, voted in the first two hours.
I don't know what to make of that.
Nobody does.
20 to 25 percent voted in the first two hours.
New Hampshire's 96 percent white and independents, and they've gone McCain the last two cycles.
And yet local state polls say that it is a Barry 14% margin.
So if it is an Obama 14% margin, then why this?
Fox just reported that the Republican Party has filed suit in New Hampshire against the Secretary of State.
They say that in a number of precincts, Republican Party poll watchers are being kept as far as 40 feet from the new registrations table so that they're unable to verify new voters against the records of new registrations.
So they're trying to steal New Hampshire.
They've kicked Republican monitors out in Philadelphia because as minority party, they have no right to be there, according to a liberal judge.
The Republican Party hopes to have this case heard by a judge in the next couple minutes so the legal, illegal situations can be corrected immediately.
But no Republicans allowed at the new registrations table.
And by the way, you people in Chicago tonight, if you're going to go to Barry's big party in Grant Park, you better have a photo ID.
You can't get into Barry's big bash without a photo ID, but you sure as hell can vote in Chicago without one.
And you apparently can vote in New Hampshire without one.
Meredith in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Meredith's 24 years old.
Great to have you on the program.
Oh, Rush.
You are awesome.
I've been listening to you five years old, and I was brought up right.
Let me just tell you.
How about that rush, baby, right here before our very ears?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I'm one of the few conservative college students, let me tell you.
And I'm just scared to death.
I'm a senior in college.
I'm about to graduate.
I've got a biology degree coming, and I've been working so hard.
You know, like, once I get out, you know, I'm going to get a job, and I'm going to be punished for everything that I've done.
No one's going to want to be successful anymore.
The standard is going to be lowered because no one's going to want to succeed because they're just going to lose money in the long run.
I mean, it's not just that.
That's only half the story.
It's not just that they're not going to want to succeed because they're going to want to pay the money.
There are going to be others who won't even try to succeed because they're going to get some money.
Exactly.
The whole standard has been lowered, and there's no point in being successful anymore.
I don't understand.
It hasn't yet because the election's not over.
Well, thank God.
Hopefully McCain will pull it out.
I just don't know.
I'm just scared to death.
And I voted three weeks ago, and I mean, I got told I was communist in the line of early voting because I told them that, you know, they needed to be informed of who they were voting for.
And they said, oh, that's so confident.
Let me explain to you what's happening here because we can't lose you.
Okay.
You're at a prime age here to be hassled and harassed into acquiescing to these people that are giving you trouble.
Oh, it's awful.
Professors, too, left and right.
I've been trying to convince them.
All right, but you're over the hump on this stuff.
Just hang in there.
Here's what's happening, and this is why we need you.
People your age are going to determine the future of the country if Obama does win this election.
Because there is a, we don't know how big yet.
We'll find out today.
But there's a significantly large portion of people who live in this country who don't like it the way it's currently constituted.
They have been made to feel like they have no chance, no hope, because people like you are discriminating against them with your drive and with your ambition.
And it's other things too, but there's a whole voting block here, and we don't know how large it is, that actually wants this country to become a welfare state.
And your fear is understandable based on what you've heard Obama say, based on what you've seen them try to do to Joe the Plumber, who doesn't even have a lot of money.
Right.
But he has a dream, and they set out to try to destroy that.
Now, we know that if, according to Biden and Obama, if you earn more than $120,000, $150,000 a year now, that's when your American dream stops.
Yeah.
We're all going to be equal, and we're all going to be socialists, and it scares me to death because socialism hasn't worked anywhere yet.
And that's what he's saying in so many words.
I mean, capitalism is what we need.
That's what capitalism has worked, and we need to continue it.
And he scares me to death.
There's too many red flags that have happened.
I actually talked to Sean Hannity in March, and I've been trying to get through to you for months, and I'm just so excited.
I finally got to talk to you.
Did you hear the audio sound like today that I played with Jim Moran, the congressman from Virginia?
Yes, I did.
I did hear that.
This is where the Democrats want to take us, but they want to take us there for the express purpose of their own power.
But I want to implore you to never abandon the idea of being the best you can be, regardless who's running the country and regardless what their policies are, because it is people like you, especially young people like you, pursuing excellence that will give this country a chance to survive as the country we've always known.
So it's just if you ever, if you ever get down in the dumps, I want you to call back here.
Six years from now, two years, so you call back here, and I will tell you when it's time to drop out and collect your goodies and move behind the gate or go to Cayman Islands or whatever.
We haven't reached that point yet.
These battles have been waged as long as I've been alive and even longer.
It's just we've never gotten to a point here where we actually had a candidate who promised what Obama's been promising, and so many people seemingly accept it.
Well, we don't really know what the truth of those numbers are, but one thing I do know is the only thing that's going to keep this country great, and I assume you want to have a family of your own someday.
Oh, yeah.
You want to bequeath a country that you found, the only way that's going to happen is if no matter what the obstacles, you keep trying to be the best you can be.
Now, it may well be that, I don't could well be that they're going to have a tax rate that will deny you the opportunity to amass wealth per se.
But even if that happens, that shouldn't stop you from being the best person that you can be with the best integrity and character and trying to succeed and accomplish the most you can, because that's the kind of behavior that we're going to need en masse to overcome and beat back this welfare state socialism that appears to be on the march here.
We can't give up to it.
I mean, I won't give up.
I'm going to keep trying and trying to convince people, and I'm going to work as hard as I can.
But, you know, it just scares me to death because I worked so hard and I feel like fear sometimes can be an excellent motivator.
Yeah, oh, I'm scared.
I'm definitely scared.
Oh, the fear is in me tonight with the election.
I'm going to be sitting there watching the news the whole day, scared to death.
I just don't know what is going to happen.
And you can't start the country.
I told you earlier, I warned you, do not watch the news.
Regardless what happens tonight, listen to me tomorrow.
Enough said.
I'm glad you called, Meredith.
Keep on.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, so Jim Moran, Congressman Virginia, says people want to keep their wealth, a simplistic view.
They want to keep it.
Obama, wait till you hear what he told MTV about people who are just looking out for themselves.
Now, he doesn't appreciate people like that.
