Time Text
I have been thinking about a question.
No, I haven't heard anything about exit polls.
People, it's two o'clock.
I don't know if there's a two o'clock wave of exit polls.
I haven't heard anything about exit polls yet, Zoo.
If I hear anything about exit polls, I'll let you know.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, 800 to 82-2882 if you want to join us.
We had a guy call uh last hour from Peoria.
It might have been in the first hour.
I am not sure.
And uh he said, how long is it going to be before the Obama people basically say, what?
We didn't vote for this.
That's the question.
This is serious.
When you get right down to it, there may not be that many.
How many Obama voters are actually voting for socialism?
It's not as though it's unknown.
It's not as though it's unknown that Obama wants to redistribute the wealth.
We know that there are 47 million Americans that do not pay income taxes.
So how many people are going to be shocked when Obama does what he's going to do?
And by the way, about this.
Who's really going to run this administration?
Obama hasn't ever run anything.
He spent 143 days in the Senate.
He bombed out as a community organizer.
He bombed out working with heirs on the education challenge, part of the Annenberg thing that he did.
I saw a list of potential people in his administration, and we've seen them all before.
Tom Dashell is perhaps going to be the uh chief of staff as a whole bunch of names in it.
But I mean, you usual cast of characters from the Democrat Party past.
Looks like they're going to have key positions, plus his campaign people are also on list for administration positions.
And there's Joe Biden going to be sitting over there at the U.S. Naval Observatory, which is the uh where the vice president's residence is.
So I don't know who knows.
Now we've there's a map.
I just had a I just had this link sent to me.
I haven't had a chance to send this to anybody, and I won't be able to send it to any of my people here till the end of the break.
But there is a map from my fox Tampa Bay.com.
It's a Google map that shows areas in the Tampa area of Florida, and actually much farther out than just Tampa, all the voting problems that are being reported in Florida.
I just went to the Palm Beach Post website.
Ah, no, not very many problems out there at all.
Things seem to be going along pretty well.
Well, I just got a note from somebody who tried to vote in West Palm Beach.
They walked in there and the machine didn't scan the votes.
The ballot wasn't scanned, and so this person took the ballot up to the person running the place, said the vote didn't scan.
And the guy said, That's okay, just put it here in the emergency box.
No, no, no, no.
I want another ballot and I want you to tear this up and I want to vote again.
My vote didn't.
No, no, no, no.
Put it in the emergency box.
Everything in there gets counted.
Right.
Everything in the emergency box gets counted.
How does anybody know that everybody think an emergency box gets counted?
Here's something else for those of you here in the West Palm Beach area and in certain districts of South Florida.
I haven't voted yet, but I've been told that they got to get another new ballot this time around, and apparently the place where you vote for either Tim Mahoney, the guy who had three affairs, uh, or Tom Rooney, who the former West Point or Naval, it's a West Point graduate, Jag.
Judge Adjutant General, he's a very accomplished guy, served in the military.
Apparently, this place to vote for that race is hard to find on the ballot.
It's all the way down lower left, did you say?
They list every presidential candidate put Mahoney and Rooney under all the presidential candidates.
By the way, do you know I saw this last Thursday?
I just I don't know if it was one day or not, but the uh the Palm Beach Post published their voters' guide and left off McCain Palin.
I've got the somebody faxed it to me when I was uh in Indianapolis, getting ready for the Colts Patriots.
And sh uh by gosh, sure as hell, when I looked at it, it it got every there are more people running for president in this country you than you ever knew.
We got the Socialist Workers' Party, the Communist Party of America, the Red Right and Blue Party.
Oh, I mean, it must have been ten different parties on the voter guide, but no McCain Palin in the Palm Beach.
Well, you know, we sit here and laugh at this, but this again is media.
Now, I don't know if it was just that one day.
I don't know if they published the voter guide for a series of days, because I don't take the paper.
So I don't know if they just made an error on that one day or uh or not.
But there's there's there's shenanigans going on all over the place.
They're trying to steal Philadelphia, they're trying to steal Virginia, and I mentioned earlier I've got good feelings about both states.
Snurdly thinks I I'll tell you what I'll do, Snardley.
I will put my money where my mouth is.
Snerdley just informed me.
I don't know how this can happen.
Snurdley professes to be a big National Football League fan, and he has the NFL Sunday ticket on DirecTV.
Now we are in week, we just finished week nine.
There are 17 weeks in the season.
We're over halfway through.
Snerdley just discovered.
He's got this massive plasma TV, he's got this massive receivers, all this audio video gear.
He just discovered he's not been watching these games in high definition.
He forgot to order the HD package for the NFL Sunday ticket.
I say, how can this?
If you can't tell the difference between HD and standard definition, so they startly I will pay for your season to date upgrade.
I mean, it won't cost you a full season.
But I'll pay if if if we if if McCain wins Pennsylvania.
No, if McCain loses Pennsylvania, if McCain loses Pennsylvania, I'll front you the money.
And if uh if if McCain wins Pennsylvania will figure out what you can do for me, it's so hard because as a member of the staff, he already does so much.
Uh it's incalculable.
Uh contribution is not overrated, no.
No.
Anyway, let's go back to the audio sound bites.
Jim Moran just discovered this today.
This is Jim Congressman from Virginia.
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.
okay they're not going to work that long they want to keep what they own what a simplistic So, yesterday morning on MTV's Ask Obama special.
A correspondent was Sway Callaway.
And here's the question.
If your desire is to spread the wealth around, what incentive is there for me to try to work hard?
If I'm only gonna get more taken away from me the more money I make, why why wouldn't I just slide into a life of relaxation and let rich people take care of me?
And a lot of people are asking similar questions, and I wanted you to specify what does this mean exactly.
What's amazing to me is is this whole notion that somehow uh that everybody's just looking out for themselves.
Uh I mean, the fact is we just talked about student loans.
When young people who have the drive and the skill to go to college can't afford to go to college, how do you think we pay for scholarships or or loan programs?
Uh that money doesn't grow on trees, it's got to come from somewhere.
And the attitude that I have is that if we want to grow our economy, the way it grows is from the bottom up.
You don't just give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.
What you do is you make sure that the tax code is fair.
Now look, not only is this dangerous, it's it's incoherent.
I'm gonna I'm gonna take this line by line, as they say.
This this is incoherent.
What is amazing to me is this whole notion that somehow everybody's just looking out for themselves.
That's the essence of the country.
Not look he's he says selfishness, but self-interest is looking out for yourself.
Self interest provides for your family.
Self interest thus elevates the economic standard of your community.
Selfishness is hoarding.
Self in no, you know, there are already people paying confiscatory taxes, you little squirrel.
This was a country founded on the concept of the individual.
Rugged individualism, the individual is unique.
We are all different from one another, but we are working toward the same objectives off of the same principles.
And so some do better than others.
And those that don't do as well, we have a history of taking care of them, but in the process we have destroyed many of them.
Because we have destroyed their ambition.
When young people who have the drive and the skill to go to college can't afford to go to college, how do you think we pay for scholarships or loan programs?
Well, let me take a stab at this.
You worked for the Annenberg Foundation.
You got through Bill Ayers, your little squirrel.
You ended up with a 90 to 100 million dollars, or maybe it was 150 million dollars to play with to try to improve education.
Where do you think that money came from?
The Annenberg Foundation, with their wealth, started a charitable foundation, and they doled out money to where they thought it would do some good, or for whatever political reason they whatever.
You yourself used money donated, donated, donated, donated by wealthy people.
The second thing, where do scholarships come from?
Have you ever heard of alumni?
You may not know this Obama, but how many alumni endow various universities with tremendous amounts of money?
Where do they get that money?
They've either inherited it or they earned it or whatever, but they donate it.
Obama.
Have you donated anything to Harvard or Columbia, sir?
Now the student loan program, yeah, that that that comes from tax receipts.
What is this?
What is this magic of everybody who wants to go to college should be able to go?
Where does this stop?
Everybody wants a Mercedes, so they should be able to get one.
Everybody wants a house on the beach, so we should get one.
Where does this stop?
I am amazed at this whole notion somebody just looking out for themselves.
The it grows, it's from the bottom up.
It's not from the bottom up economically, it's not possible for anything to grow from the bottom up economically.
Obama, the way people in the lower income twin quintels move up is through work and earning money, not through transfers of wealth.
Obama, if transfers of wealth made people rich, there wouldn't be any welfare in this country.
There wouldn't be any welfare recipients in this country.
There wouldn't be any homeless.
From the bottom up.
Tell me what poor person did you apply for a grant for someday?
What poor person ever hired you?
I take it back.
He's never had a job.
Sway Calloway then says to Barack Obama, well, just out of curiosity, for those that are being taxed, making more than 250 grand a year, how much difference would it be from how much they're being taxed today?
Right now they're getting taxed at 36%.
Uh, under Bill Clinton in the 1990s, they're taxed at 39.6%.
You're talking about a 3.6% difference.
And, you know, uh for uh you know the average person uh who is making half a million, a million dollars.
Now, people like you, Sway.
You know that's uh you know that's that's that's chump change.
That's nothing.
But it could make a big difference for that young person who's trying to figure out whether they can go to college or not, if we can give them more of a break or give them scholarships or grants to go to the government.
Obama, this is horrible.
They're all they're not paying taxes.
College students are not paying taxes, giving them a tax cut is not going to mean anything.
Did he really mean to say this?
The average person making half a million a million dollars.
He actually said that, or is he talking about the average person who makes?
It's chump change.
See, this is your money, is it doesn't matter to you.
Your money is not yours, it's his, and he's gonna determine how much you need chump change.
This line I never had a tax cut, I never even asked for the tax cut.
You know, Clinton's loved to throw that line around.
So this is uh this is who we're electing.
This is who people want to go vote for.
And his way doesn't work.
And by the way, he's right about one thing.
The 36% top rate now is going to go to 396.
That'll happen when the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010.
That'll be before Obama's other tax increases that he has announced and that he has planned.
One other thing about this uh Obama soundbite with Sway Callaway on the MTV, when he admits that uh taxes when the Bush tax cuts expire are gonna go back up with the top rate uh or top income earners from 36 to 39.6% to be what they were during Clinton.
Uh just hit me.
Do you know what that means?
Pretty sure that the the uh top rate during Clinton was on all income above 150 or 153,000, something like that.
So that means is that Joe Biden was right.
Biden was right.
All it takes is you have to be a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more, and in two thousand ten, your rate's gonna go up almost four percentage points.
Thirty-six to thirty-nine point six.
Not two fifty, not two twenty, not two hundred.
Looks like it's around one fifty-three.
This interesting soundbite.
This is a YouTube video of an unidentified man who says he's media from the University of Pennsylvania approaching a Philadelphia polling place and has an exchange with two Black Panther members holding night sticks at the door.
Now, part of this video also is a citizen calling CNN and saying, Why aren't you covering this?
But when we listen to it, that was sort of confusing.
You you you have to know that's what was happening.
So we've edited that out, but this is the YouTube video of an unidentified guy claiming to be media uh encountering two Black Panther members holding nights at the door to his polling place.
Hi, I'm here at 1221 Fairmount in Philadelphia, and there's a guy with the Billy Club right here.
So, do we have any problems here?
What's going on?
Everything okay?
Everything's fine.
I'm just making sure.
I don't think 1220 at Fairmont.
I'm here.
I'm just uh media guy.
And that's all I'm doing.
I'm with the University of Pennsylvania.
Who are you with?
Sorry.
Security.
Okay.
I mean, I'm not I have a poll watcher certificate, so I can go inside.
Wonder why you come up taking pictures.
What?
Okay.
No, no, no.
I think it might be a little bit intimidating that you have a stick in your hand.
That's why.
You know?
I mean, that's a weapon, so that's why I'm a little worried.
I mean, I'm a concerned citizen.
I'm just worried that you might be in the Okay, but you have a night stick in your hand.
I mean I have a camera phone, which is not a weapon.
Black Panthers, polling places, Philadelphia, as Obama tries to steal the election in Pennsylvania today, Olsip, Illinois.
This is Al.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, how are you doing, Rosh?
Very well, thank you.
Uh, yesterday they had the funeral for the uh Hudson family, her mother, brother, and uh nephew.
Yeah.
And I mean it it was a tragedy, you know, and I mean I'm not trying to uh diminish that at all.
But I mean, just as tragic is is the fact that uh over four hundred and thirty Chicago uh public school children have died already in the streets of Chicago this year.
There's been more more children die on the streets of Chicago than have died uh in both both Mid East conflicts.
I mean, and this is the this is his neighbor.
This is I mean, we have the war in the streets right here, and this is the uh this is the community that he did he or this is his neighborhood.
This is Obama's neighborhood.
And uh it's just you know, it's just that the media never never reports any of that stuff.
Well, of course the media's not why what do we expect the media to report anything that is gonna be harmful to Obama?
You know, in fact, I asked a question earlier about answered a question from a caller earlier.
He says, How long is it gonna be before the average Obama voter gets mad?
What in the however?
What is this?
Who didn't vote for this?
You know, it I could be wrong too.
I I don't know that I think there are a lot of guilty white people voting today for Obama just to make themselves feel better, thinking they're ending a period in history.
Uh Clinton rate of 39-6 started at 250, I'm being told.
So we're I'm gonna iron this out regardless.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, your taxes, I don't care who you are, are going up if the anointed one uh happens to uh win the presidency tonight.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, uh did you happen to notice you had to look really dig deeply.
Did you happen to notice that last night Sarah Palin was cleared of all ethics charges in the Alaska Trooper Gate thing?
She was damn.
Why, it's fascinating, isn't it?
Night before the election, Neil Cavuto yesterday afternoon on Fox had on New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez and just destroyed Menendez on taxes.
Cavuto said, fact of the matter is when Ronaldus Reagan took office, Ronaldo's Magnus, he was bringing all tax rates down.
Barack Obama would be bringing a couple of key ones up.
I'm talking about income taxes, Senator.
When he makes uh the comment uh that he would be lower than Ronald Reagan, it's true.
Uh for middle class uh income tax individual tax rates, he'd be at 4.3 percent.
Ronald Reagan at its lowest was around 9.3 percent.
And when you talk about capital gains taxes for families making over 250,000, it would be about 20 percent versus Ronald Reagan's 28 percent.
While giving that, you're talking about individuals in the country.
Ultimately a thousand dollar tax problem.
I'm not interested in stump speech.
I'm interested in some facts.
It's not a stump speaking, but I think that's a good thing.
No, no, no.
The fact of the matter is you are equating a 20 percent capital gains rate with what some in passing could assume is the new top rate.
The new top rate would rise to close to 40 percent under a President Obama, when with Ronald Reagan, he lowered that from in excess of 70 percent to 28 percent.
Now, listen to this next bite and see if if you think that New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez knows the difference between income tax rates and capital gains rates.
Middle class families making over 250,000 a year would be at a tax rate of twenty percent.
Ronald Reagan had it.
Hold it, oh, Rick then, hold it a minute.
Obama's calling them the rich.
250,000 and up is the rich menendez middle class family to making over 250 grand a year.
So Menendez out there saying middle class is gonna get a tax increase.
Here it is again.
You see if he knows the difference between the two types of taxes.
Middle class families making over 250,000 a year would be at a tax rate of 20 percent.
Ronald Reagan had it at 28 percent.
That's significantly different.
What tax rate, Senator?
Are you talking about it?
Capital tax rate.
Now, I'm talking the one rate that you guys seem to be ignoring.
Ronald Reagan reduced that one.
The big enchilada, the top rate from an excess of 70 percent under Jimmy Carter down to 28 percent.
Now that's the rate I'm talking about.
Barack Obama is going to take that rate and make it 20 percent.
Now at about 30 no, no, no, no.
The Senator, do you know these numbers?
I do.
It's it's 35 percent now.
He's going to bring it up to 39.6 percent to bring you back, Senator.
I'm talking the top marginal rate.
I am talking about families.
Maybe you want to talk about different families.
I'm talking about families making over 250,000.
They would be paying a 20 percent capital gains rate versus 28 percent on Ronald Reagan.
Okay, well, that's what you just did.
God bless you, you answered my question.
Now, this this is.
So what this guy's trying to say is that Obama's capital gains rate is gonna be less than Reagan's capital gains rate.
Reagan's is twenty-eight and and uh Obama's is gonna be twenty.
And the capital gains rate uh what is it now, fifteen or twenty?
Now I'm getting confused with all these all these breaks.
No, no, it doesn't matter.
It's one of the point is he's gonna raise it, and Obama is so stupid about this, he thinks that you can make the capital gains tax rate progressive as well, is the point.
Menendez clearly doesn't understand the difference in the two.
And he wants he's trying to convince Cavuto here that the capital gains rate under Obama will be lower than the marginal income tax rate under Ronaldo's Magnus.
So finally, Cavuto here, trying to be polite and understanding has had enough.
He finally says the 95% that you say are going to get a tax break under an Obama administration.
Do you recognize that half of those people don't pay income taxes at all?
No, I don't recognize that.
And the bottom line is I don't know where you're extrapolating that from.
The bottom line is 95% of all working families of 95% of all working families making under $200,000 a year would get a $1,000 tax break.
God bless you.
I give up.
You just wore me out.
Um but I'd love to have you back, but and I'd love to show you the tax code.
Maybe you could take a peek at it.
Clueless.
Either that or he's just obfuscating and filibustering.
This is Nate in Indianapolis.
Nate, you're next as we head back to the phones on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Russia's Nate out, and you got God bless you and all that you do.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, uh, I'm 26 years old.
Uh started uh becoming a landlord about three or four years ago.
And I just want to kind of illuminate what would happen if if our tax rates go up to um people renting, at least for me in my particular situation.
I'm I'm not a tax professional, but uh I I just trying to describe to people if if I pay more taxes from for my income, uh, three or four percent, uh that takes money out of my pocket.
Well, instead of doing that, I'm just going to raise my rent three or four percent, which in turn um affects all the tenants um renting from me.
So how how the trickle down effect kind of happens is you know, i if you if you raise taxes on people like me, and I do not make two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year.
I'll say that right now.
Um it's gonna affect the people that are the middle class, are the lower class in more ways than one.
And I I you know I'm not a rocket scientist, but it's it's pretty straightforward the trickle down effect to me.
Well, let me tell you something.
I appreciate your call.
I am the equivalent of a rocket scientist in my own field.
And let me explain this to you because your your common sense is profound.
Okay, so you're sitting there and you're hearing that you're going to have a tax increase, a personal tax income tax rate increase of uh 36 to 39 or whatever, four points is gonna go up for you.
Right, right.
And you know, you you're you're out of business.
Your landlord, you're gonna make that back somehow.
So you're gonna have to raise your rents.
And then the but the people that are paying your rent, but what is the average unit that you rent?
You rent apartments?
Oh, no, just this uh single family uh three bedroom.
Oh, wait, what is the average rent you collect for your or your properties?
I I would say probably 700.
Well, I guarantee you those people are gonna have a tax increase too.
So you're gonna have to raise this is the way this works.
You're going to have to either eat it or eat a part of it, or raise your rent in order to maintain your life and your business.
I mean, you got to service these homes.
You gotta maintain them because you own them.
Well, these people are gonna have their taxes go up too, but they just can't go out to their employer and say automatically give me four percent to make up for this.
And even if they did, that four percent increase would be taxed again.
So they would not net the four percent increase.
So but then what happens?
Then they might not be able to afford to re-up with you and have to go someplace cheaper to rent.
And so what this ends up causing is people becoming poorer.
And that trickles down too.
Well, and so the bottom line here's the here's the key.
This is what Obama wants.
Obama wants more people depending on your redistribution of income.
Well, there's two other things uh that go with this, too.
Um if the Bush tax cuts go, the people that are earning the money to pay the rent, not only are gonna get taxed to buy me, because uh I'm mine's going up three or four percent, but but their income um that's their payroll taxes, I guess, um, are are also going to go up.
And as well, those those people that are getting government assistance for rent, um, you know, say they get three hundred dollars, yeah.
They pay and four hundred dollars the government will pay.
Well, if I raise my rent, the government will have to make up uh the difference, or you know, split the difference with the person.
So it it the only person winning in this, it it really is the government because my income wouldn't be increasing.
I'm doing it incrementally.
But see, in the long run, in the long run, they lose too, because this is gonna end up producing less revenue, and they're then gonna have to go borrow it or print it or what have you.
And then finally, after enough years of this, some brilliant conservative who's not afraid to be a conservative, come along and run for office and have the explanation for this, and we'll fix it with another 49 state landslide.
The problem is we're gonna have so much rot gut to to roll back if uh if this little if if Obama happens to win.
Look, I'm glad you called out there, Nate.
Thanks very much.
I gotta tell you a story.
Flying back from Washington last night.
Well, this morning, we got on listening.
What time?
It was about 210.
Got on board the point.
Well, that's what the wheels up.
We got 210.
And I had to wait for about 10 minutes to get a little bit level off.
Now open a computer, put the computer on the table, and I started doing some work because I hadn't been at the computer all night.
That was at the football game, the Redskins and the Steelers.
And I didn't want to have to stay up for two hours when I got home at 4 30.
So I was I'm doing some work, and I found a bunch of stuff that I was uh that would normally find this morning.
I printed it to the printer here, but it's my laptop.
I never bring a laptop into work.
You know, I keep it at home or for for travel or what have you.
And I backed it up.
I backed up all these emails and things that I found that I needed to print.
And lo and behold, I got in here today, and only two of them had printed, and I had deleted all the emails because I wanted to take them off the server, so that I wouldn't be inundated with 150 emails this morning that I had already read to go through again.
And if I hadn't backed them up, I would have lost them.
I would have lost a whole bunch that I had planned for today's show.
It happens to even me.
I know many people think that all of these average rigor little problems in life never happen to the powerful and the influential, but they do.
And that's why you have to start if you haven't yet backing up everything on your hard drive.
And by the way, if you this it's our PC now, but uh LifeLock is um our carbonite, right?
Or carbonite is going to be offering their Mac program at the beginning of the year.
They back up just gazillions of files, restoring them offline, by the way.
So if you happen to lose your hard drive or even a portion of it, you can restore, and you don't have to back up everything.
You can not back up your applications, just backup files.
You can choose what you want to back up, pictures, important documents.
Uh carbonite, though, is a lifesaver, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should.
You can try it risk-free.
It's Carbonite.com.
Don't even have to give them a credit card.
Just use the offer code Rush.
We'll be right back.
Back to the phones we go, Rush Limbaugh, here about their wrap it up.
Still nothing on exit polls.
I don't believe there's a two o'clock wave anymore.
Well that they report anywhere that they maybe there is.
The five o'clock is what everybody uh looks for.
Paul in Maringo, Illinois.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, Rush.
I have uh federal bailout size dittoes for you.
Thank you very much, sir.
That's a lot.
That is.
I just also want to thank you for steering my teenage years.
I uh, of course, was in school, not a high school dropout, and I caught your program in the evenings.
That's how long I've been listening to you.
And uh right to the point, I just want to say uh my question for you is could you help us figure out with uh all of Obama's celebrity endorsements, all of his friends from Oprah to all of uh the Hollywood elite, when he's talking about spreading the wealth around, and we have all these multimillion dollar actors and celebrities.
Why aren't they going ahead and giving him all of their money so that it could be spread around?
Um well, it depends on the celebard uh in order to answer this question.
For example, Oprah.
When you look at an Oprah, she's um she's a billionaire, right?
Yes, sir.
She's a billionaire out there.
Oprah has homes in uh Montecito.
She got homes all over the place.
She's probably got homes that probably have more homes than McCain.
And I'm sure she has more household staff than McCain.
So you're probably wondering why in the world would Oprah vote for a guy that's gonna take her wealth and redistribute it.
Uh in in Oprah's case, uh, you can't, you just you just cannot.
I think she partially believes all this garbage, by the way, and does not believe it's gonna happen to her.
But I think the racial component here you can't take out, and I think of some of these other celebrities you're talking about.
There is so much in the celebrity community.
I've run into them.
There is so much white guilt over civil rights violations in the past slavery.
This is gonna clean the slate as far in their hearts.
This is gonna say their country is decent again.
And they actually think the country sucks.
Let me give you a piece of advice.
Stop worrying why any of these mental midgets do or think what they think.
It's not worth your time to try to figure out.
Just ignore them.
I know it's hard to because they're out there all over these television shows polluting.
By the way, uh before we I gotta I gotta squeeze this in.
Uh ah, you gotta hear this cut 36.
This is Rick Levanthal talking to Black Panthers in Philadelphia today.
Did you tell that gentleman that you were tired of white supremacy, or did your colleague say that?
Ah.
Don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know why you're coming up here and making it look like we are doing something wrong.
We are just standing here right now, just serving our people.
Okay.
Well, that's terrific.
Is there any reason in particular why you're wearing uh the uniform?
And and all that there is not necessary.
Well, I I didn't mean to harass you.
I'm just here to ask a question.
That's all I mean I don't know why you're here at the polling place with the camera in the first place.
Well, it's our constitutional right to be at the polling place to record the I don't want you recording me.
How about the community doesn't want you recording them?
People come to vote and they come to vote in a peak peaceful atmosphere.
They don't come to have somebody put taking cameras and microphones and putting it in their face.
Well, what do people come to vote with expecting to see someone with a night stick out front?
Was that nobody here has a night stick, and so I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, there was a person with a night stick.
We have video of it.
I don't care about what was, I'm talking about what is.
Okay, well, that person was escorted out in here by the police, correct?
Um I I don't know what you're talking about.
All right.
Well, we have video that shows the person with the nightstick standing right next to you on this very curve.
You have me telling you that you have no authorization to be here at this polling place.
That's what you got.
That's the Black Panthers talking to Rick Leventhal at CNN.
Uh at Fox.
I mean, if they're they're in the process trying to steal the state, folks, that didn't Pennsylvania, and they're not gonna do it.
We'll be back.
Yes, my friends, there will be a tomorrow.
Sun will come up, and we will be here, won't we?
