Time Text
And once again, a warm greeting to all of you music lovers, conversationalists, and thrill seekers all across the fruited plain.
Rush Limbaugh and broadcast excellence from the EIB network.
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist.
Exceeding audience expectations every day.
If you missed the first hour, here's what you missed.
The Associated Press has run a story on all the covert operation executive orders that President Bush has issued over the course of the war on terror.
As you recall, during the course of the Bush administration, the drive-by meeting of the Democrat Party called him Hitler, called him Busch Hitler, did movies about his assassination, books about his assassination.
They said to talked about impeachment hearings.
They said that Bush was spying on Americans, all this secret stuff going on out there, fought a war that wasn't necessary, didn't go get bin Laden.
Nothing about the horrible, just a horrible, worthless dread of a human being.
And uh then, ladies and gentlemen, this story says that these covert ops executive orders will most likely be left in place by Obama to grant him the flexibility necessary to continue going after bad guys, as Bush did.
They even say in the AP Obama story that he needs this flexibility if he decides he is going to bomb Pakistan without telling Pakistan first, uh as he said he would during the campaign.
So it's all's good now.
Covert operations are fabulous.
And oh Obama needs them for flexibility.
We also learned from the uh Chicago Tribune blog The Swamp that we had the worst bombings since July in Baghdad yesterday.
Thirty-one uh, I think dead, thirty-one uh casualties.
Uh yep, killed at least thirty-one, and that is being hailed as progress.
Thirty-one dead in a bomb blast in Baghdad hailed as progress by the Associated Press Obama because there's been I mean that was that that's just the first one since July.
That's progress now that Obama is running the show, ladies and gentlemen.
And we also learned a number of other things.
Camelot is back, according to Sally Quinn and Douglas Brinkley, Camelot is back, which means the mob will be back.
Uh, which leads me to speculate and ask which black civil rights leaders are gonna get wiretapped if uh if Camelot is back.
Uh by the way, uh Mike, I goofed up here.
Rather than the I I do want to play sound by number four before we get to number seven.
As you know, the president graciously, oh, that's another thing we learned, how gracious and and and decent President Bush is the drive-by.
We had a long montage of all the drive-by media talking about how gracious uh man President Bush is what a decent, decent guy he is.
Uh because he's so nice to Obama when Obama stormed in there for the meeting yesterday in the Oval Office, which of course the details have been leaked, and only Obama and President Bush were in the meeting, so we know that Obama was the uh the leaker.
And it I think he leaked to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington.
This is what she said on MSNBC uh TV last night.
Barack Obama came with an agenda, and this was not just small talk.
He talked about the economy.
And he talked about the fact that the auto industry needs more money, that the 25 billion dollars set aside needs to be dispersed more quickly, that there needs to be an economic stimulus package now, and this means uh tax cuts for the middle class, all targeted for the middle class uh before he takes office.
And he also talked about foreclosures and the fact that people with adjustable rate mortgages now face more foreclosures, all this before he even takes office.
So he's basically coming into the living room and the office of the current lame duck president and saying, This is what I want before January 20th.
A pretty aggressive move.
Uh, right out of Chicago thug politics.
Now you know for her to have that kind of detail, he or somebody had to call Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, and to Taylor, and look at how she portrayed it.
Obama, he's tough, he's strong, he hit the ground runner.
He walked into the living room and the Oval Office of this lame duck guy, and he told him how it's gonna be.
He laid Down the law.
We love Obama.
He is not, he's not wasting a minute.
He wants Bush to do those tax cuts now.
He wants Bush to take care of the mortgages now.
He wants Bush to bail out the auto companies now.
He went in there and he practically wagged his finger.
Now, obviously this is true.
To have this kind of detail, at least this is the story Obama wanted in the media after the meeting.
It reminds me of a story that Drudge had up over the weekend.
Apparently, the first time Bush met Obama was when he hosted a breakfast at the White House for newly elected senators.
And Obama walked in and Bush put his arm around and said, Hey Obama, want to meet you.
You got a great future ahead of you.
Very just apparently he's outgoing and as nice as he could be.
And he uh after he shook hands, he offered Obama some some of that uh hand purifier stuff that you put on your hands after you shake a lot of people uh hands and so forth.
And uh Obama took it, kind of looked odd about it, but he rinsed his hands with the hand wash that the president offered.
And then in the meeting, apparently Obama uh got pugnacious again, and was uh tried to take over and were very aggressive and so forth, and it rubbed Bush the wrong way.
This was the story that that was put out.
You know, this business about the hand wash, that stuff, I mean people use it, but that's not the way to stop yourself from getting sick when you start shaking a bunch of hands.
I was wondering about the I guess Obama, one of the reasons he might have chartered an MDA the a big airplane uh with only two or three people, because there'd be so few people on there that he might have a cold, he wouldn't catch a cold.
All he's got to do is use ZyCam.
You think Obama would use Zycam?
You think Obama would swab his nostrils with Zycam to stop getting a cold, and it's hand washed.
I don't know that's it.
Do Messiah's swab.
Uh no, you don't swab your ears with Zycam.
You know, no, it doesn't work.
The cold is a rhino virus.
Rhino virus, rhino means nose, you gotta swab and not real far up, it just swab just inside, pinch bulk nostrils for five seconds after use it.
Stuff's miraculous if you get it early enough, it stops cold.
And these guys ought to be using that stuff instead of his hand wash.
I mean, a hand wash is a good backup, I guess.
But uh, let's see.
What do we so many places to go here?
So little time.
Let's stick with the audio sound buts.
Most of the country, I think, is like Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose.
They have no idea what Obama's plans are, but they're hopeful.
And they really don't.
I I at this point, I think most of the people that voted for Obama don't really care.
I don't think they care.
Folks, we're in the middle here.
You know what this is?
Like Snurdley told me during the break that he had he had uh what?
You say four people?
Four people, eight requests.
People are not even political.
His good friends called him and asked because they thought he had pull, since he knows me.
They asked him to get tickets to the inauguration on January 20th.
And these are people that couldn't care about politics at all.
Snurdley said to him, you have a hotel room?
No, no, we don't need a hotel room.
They live in California, by the way.
No, we don't need a hotel room.
Sturdley said, you are going to travel 2,500 miles without a hotel room to stand out among 240,000 people, and you're not going to be in the front row.
I don't care what tickets you get, to watch a speech in Washington in the middle of January.
Yeah, yeah, we got to get there.
Can you help us?
Now, Snerdley's getting exasperated as he tells me the story.
I had to calm him down.
I said, You don't, you gotta you have to understand what this is.
This is the exact scenario of the death of uh Princess Diana.
Remember, we watched that, what the hell is going on?
The millions of people lining the street, all those flowers, people writing notes to a dead person and hanging them up in the street signs and so what the hell is going on?
And then, ladies and gentlemen, we figured it out.
In such a pop culture and media-centric world, everybody wants to be on TV.
Everybody wants to be part of the story.
Everybody wants to say, or to be able to say that they were there.
And that's what's going on here.
You have people who may not have even voted for Obama, who are getting all caught up now in all of this, the uh historical nature of it or what have you, the first time aspect of it.
And what they see, if they spend time watching the drive-by's, what they see is everybody going bonkers like this has never happened.
Why, this is the greatest, and they just want to be part of it.
They want to be able to say when it was over that they were there.
They maybe even get on TV while they're at it.
Maybe maybe a drive-by will interview them.
But it it's it is a mistake to assume that all of this throughout the country is a devotion to Obama policies because nobody knows what they are really.
It's a devotion to a charismatic demagogue.
It's a devotion to a creature.
And all of this, I must say, is very creepy.
The behavior of all of these Americans.
We're talking about a human being, granted the first black human being elected president.
But as I said, I'm past that.
He's a human being.
You know, Americans are human beings to me.
People are human beings.
I you know, ideas are what count here, but most people haven't gotten there yet.
They're still caught up in the pomp and circumstances.
Watching all these people get messianized and and caught up in this cult-like thing is is creepy.
We've seen this before.
We have seen this before.
It is just creepy.
They don't care.
Right now, they don't care what he could bomb, he could bomb Baghdad all over again and get applauded for it.
He could say, by the way, I have intelligence that they are going to attack us from a suburb outside Paris, and I'm sitting in troops and I'm bombing.
He'd be applauded.
John Kerry was they would applaud.
He the French would applaud it.
No there is there is nothing he can do wrong right now.
It's creepy.
And you know, the funny thing is, as as the newsweek guy said, he goes out and makes his speeches and he backs off and watches everybody watch him, and he looks around and says, Boy, they just they do.
They're buying this Messiah gig that I've created.
And he is a he's a creature.
Creepy.
He's creepy, and people that are going bonkers all the creepy.
It's very, it's very it's creepy.
Very singular.
It's just it's highly manipulative and and and creepy.
So people, you know, they really snurdly, it doesn't matter.
Your friends don't think they've lost it.
They're just caught up in something they don't have the strength to resist.
It's I want to be on Jerry Springer's show syndrome.
Um I can't spread I don't.
Tickets, in fact, Diane Feinstein, who heads a committee that passes out the tickets.
She had to go on television yesterday and say, hey, don't sell these tickets.
People are scalping them.
People don't put them on eBay.
They're not going to give out the official tickets till just right before the event to avoid scalping.
They're not supposed to be paid for because the tickets are 240,000 of them, they're freebies.
I don't have act.
Do you think I could call a Democrat member of Congress and get uh inauguration tickets?
I could not.
I don't want to.
I will watch it on television.
I don't go to Washington.
This would be the worst day to go to Washington.
If you go Washington's bad enough on a normal day.
Look what happens to Republicans when they spend the night there.
Just takes one or one or two nights, maybe a week.
But this particular day, we will watch it on TV.
I don't want to ask anybody for tickets.
You know I don't do that anyway.
I don't obligated anybody.
If I start asking for inauguration tickets and they give me some, you know what the payback's gonna be somewhere down the road.
I don't even want to contemplate it.
All right.
Last night's situation room, Bill Schneider, a report about President elect Barack Obama.
While three quarters of Americans believe President Bush is doing a lousy job, three-quarters believe President elect Obama will do a good job.
What's he going to do exactly?
Most people are not clear exactly, but they have great expectations.
You heard right, they are polling people on Bush's approval rating and people's expectations of Obama.
Seventy-five percent believe Obama will do a good job.
Have you ever heard of such poll before?
Uh what's he gonna do?
They don't know.
They just have high expectations.
Let's go back.
Friday night, Charlie Rose, Tom Brokaw on PBS.
I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
No, I don't know how he really sees where China is.
We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
I don't really know.
And do we know anything about the people who are advising them?
You know, it's an interesting question.
He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational speeches.
I don't know what books he's read.
What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
There's a lot about him we don't know.
That was uh October 29th, the Friday night before the election.
So we've confirmed now, thanks to Bill Schneider and CNN, the American people don't know what he is.
They just have expectations.
Charlie Rose and uh and uh this guy uh Brokoha and uh two newsweek guys, they don't know what he is, but they think it's creepy.
Uh so here is you know what Obama's approval rating is?
You know he's got an approval rating.
They have taken a Barack Obama presidential elect approval poll at CNN.
The fill-in host John Roberts revealed the results.
64% of Americans have a positive view of what Obama has done since he was elected.
What's he done?
It's the same thing you could ask with his career in the Senate.
What's he done?
He's acting presidential.
This is what I told you in the last hour, Sterley.
He is, and the rest of you, he is acting presidential.
He was acting presidential in Berlin.
He was acting, he hadn't done anything except leak that he went in and bullied.
George W. Bush will be right back.
Now, as you as you watch the news and as you listen to me tell you about all of this, this princess die type fawning behavior on the part not just of our fellow citizens, ladies and gentlemen, on the part of the drive-by media, keep something in mind.
Fifty-two percent of voters went with Obama.
Just 52%.
This is not a nationwide thing.
Fifty-seven, fifty-eight million voters voted against Obama.
But the the drive-by media, they are keeping this up.
They are making this look like it's a grounds where they're creating this image that people say, Oh, I've got to be part of this.
They were part of the Obama campaign, the drive-by's were.
They are part of the president elect staff, and they will be part of his administration.
Make no bones.
Kansas City Starr laying off more people.
A couple other newspapers laying off people.
You think, well, okay, the Obama campaign staff is uh is being fired.
No, they'll end up somewhere in the administration.
They'll end up doing something.
These people are part of the Obama campaign team.
Um the public is far more skeptical of Obama than the liberal reporters and the drive-by media leading you to believe.
This is I want to warn you about this very very important because the way this is all coming down, the way it's being reported, you once again, the objective is to make you feel like you are odd, weird, uh uh just an odd ball that you you're cast out.
You just you're just kooky.
A whole country loves Obama.
Whole country wants to go to the inauguration.
The whole country's caught, and you're not saying, what's wrong with me?
They want you asking yourself what's wrong with you.
And remember this is a th this president elect Obama is acting presidential.
The media is acting as though he is president.
They are creating uh this mistaken image that he is loved and adored by everybody, not just in this country but in the world.
We did not have a record turnout for this election.
Keep this in mind.
Despite the lies in the media about it, we did not have a record turnout, as was predicted.
The public is far more skeptical and level-headed than the reporters are.
Uh and and the Chicago Tribune five hours ago talking about inauguration mania.
Folks, there's always inauguration mania.
Every time a president is inaugurated, there's mania about it.
It's just in this case, it's Camelot.
Camelot is back.
This is the Washington social culture.
Sally Quinn, the social doy N of D.C., she's happy she had dinner parties again.
She invite people to dress right.
She can invite people that speak right.
She can invite people that look right.
Oh, it's a grand day.
Obama's back.
JFK is back.
Camelot is back.
But there's one person who's not going to the inauguration.
Tony Morrison.
She was on Charlie Rose.
Uh let's see what I guess was last night.
Tony Morrison is the one who called Bill Clinton the first black president, by the way.
And Rhodes says when you realize he was president of the United States, since everything you've written has touched on race.
Yeah, I felt some exhilaration.
Some?
Yeah.
Why just some?
I mean, I'm Hallelujah.
Jesus Christ.
You know.
I don't want to put too much weight on that.
You know where my reality is.
You know what?
On religion, I just said you don't want to put too much weight on the one man.
This is an exceptional man.
He's not an African American.
He is that particular one.
You know, he's really specific in his talents and his abilities and his intelligence and what I call wisdom.
Yeah.
Um, she's not going to the inauguration, though.
This is the next bite.
Nah.
What?
This is not gonna happen.
Too many people.
Oh, come on.
This is not gonna happen.
What's not gonna happen?
I'm not gonna go.
Yeah, you're going.
You've got to go.
I really do.
Now I have a dress.
I'll get you a dress.
Get your dress.
She can't go to Tony Morrison.
Why should she have to go?
She already saw the first black president, Bill Clinton.
Why should she have to go to the inauguration?
She doesn't want to go.
She didn't have a dress.
Too many people.
She even said he's not an African American.
He's that particular one.
She's seen all this before in Bill Clinton.
She didn't want to go.
Charlie Rose.
Going to get her a dress.
Make sure she goes.
Hitzel Rushbow and the Cutting Edge.
Great to have you with us.
Broadcast excellence unfolding before your very eyes and ears.
By the way, it has uh the Sioux City Iowa Journal newspaper has a story.
The uh the chair from the Illinois Senate that Obama used is now well somebody thinks it should be an artifact.
Uh it should be spirited away and kept in a museum.
It is an historical treasure destined for future display in a museum.
Obama's Illinois State Senate chair.
Why not uh why why why why put it in a museum?
Why not just call the Pope and say, hey, we got an Obama chair coming.
We want it in the Vatican Museum.
Isn't that where Messiah's things go anyway?
Is in the Vatican.
Let's put it over there.
Folks, get ready.
Here is where we are headed.
This is what some of Obama's voters think they're going to get.
It is a story from the UK Mail.
A mother of five claiming benefits, is living in a detached home worth a million pounds, taxpayers helping pay her 25,000 pound annual rent.
It's a luxury five-bedroom home with two sitting rooms, a conservatory, and a double garage being paid for with housing benefits handed out by her local council.
This place is situated uh on a North London street.
The one million pound home is out of the price range of most families in the UK.
The average house price in Britain is two hundred and twenty-four thousand pounds.
Now the mother of five is pictured here.
Her name is Omo Wunmy Odia.
And she's very pleased.
I got a big shopping bag there.
Uh very pleased with her new detached house, which uh was worth as much as one million pounds at the height of the property boom.
She is Nigerian.
She's a single mother.
Omoonme Odia moved her family into the home two weeks ago and last night said that she was pleased to be living there, although she criticized the large house for having such small bedrooms.
Family been living in a cramped flat before the move.
I was living in a two-bedroom apartment with my five kids.
I only moved in here two weeks ago.
She's in her thirties.
They didn't have any council houses big enough for me, so I found this one.
I like it.
The kids like it.
Mrs. Odia had been living in the UK for ten years and is thus entitled to the home under government rules.
It has uh recently been revealed taxpayers have paid 14.8 billion pounds For housing benefits in Britain in 2006-2007.
Get ready, ladies and gentlemen.
This is where we are headed.
In fact, we may already be there in effect with this mortgage business and the way their bailouts are going to deal with people who can't pay their mortgages.
I mean, Obama walks in there yesterday and trash a strong arm Bush and then making quick moves that would allow people that can't pay their mortgages to stay in their houses, which is really no different than this mother of five single woman from Nigeria being supported in a one million pound house by British taxpayers, Sugarland, Texas.
This is Jay.
Glad to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Magnonimous one.
You mentioned something at the beginning of the program in the recap, you didn't say it again, but uh Raul Castro going to going to Russia and the president of Russia gonna ask for a release of part of the embargo, if not all of the embargo on Cuba.
Uh sort of reminds me back in 1962 of getting underneath my desk as a junior in high school.
Uh it's gonna be a little bit a little bit more difficult this time, because he's not only got uh Cuba to worry about, he's got uh Kugoschavez.
So he's liable to send they're liable to send uh missiles over to try to shortcut the Polish uh Wait a minute.
Who you who who's liable to send missiles where?
Uh uh the the Russians are liable to send missiles back into Cuba or try to.
I think they've already mentioned that as a possibility.
I think isn't that story two or three weeks old that they're talking about at least having defense training exercises down there, at least doing something like that.
I think that was Hugo.
No, no, no, no, no.
This this this was this was uh no, not a hurricane.
This this was the Russians.
They had it, they had exercise in Cuba uh two or three weeks ago.
You're it is what it is, it is the the rebirth of uh history is repeating itself.
And the uh, you know, the the old story still holds true is that uh those who sit back and don't remember the past they're certainly bound to relive it.
Well, they there's a lot of this stuff happening all over the world.
Medvedev put missiles pointed at Poland.
Um Biden told us that there are going to be something horrible happen, and that uh countries not gonna like the Obama response to it, and he begged people.
This was out in California or the state of Wall, I think Seattle, maybe he told told the crowd out there you gotta hang with us.
Remember the love that you have for us right now.
We're gonna need that because they're gonna test this guy.
They're gonna this guy's spine is made of steel, Biden said.
They're gonna test this guy.
Well, uh there are a number of situations.
Hugo Chavez is thinking about sending tanks into the streets in Caracas because one of his allies is not being supported.
Uh a campaign or some such thing.
The Cubans trying to revive their relationship with the Russians, the Russians eager to do this.
The Sandinistas are back in power in Nicaragua.
I mean, there's all kinds China.
China is saying, hey, you better you've got to tone down your big lifestyle over there.
Uh you live in too well and too high on the hog.
You gotta you gotta roll it back.
You've got all these people making big moves on global warming now.
I mean it, folks, there's there's there's this is not gonna be some casual little uh uh 100 100-day honeymoon of an administration.
There's gonna be all kinds of stuff popping out there.
And I let's just talk about what's happening domestically.
Let me share with you what's in the Wall Street Journal today.
Automakers force bailout issue.
The auto industry crisis is forcing a broader debate over how far the government should go to prop up ailing industries, as the Bush administration resists.
Democrat requests to use part of the 700 billion dollar financial rescue fund to aid Detroit's three struggling car makers.
House Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry in a letter Saturday, formally requested the Treasury Secretary consider giving a temporary assistance to the auto industry using money originally appropriated to shore up the banking system.
The Democrat lawmakers said that federal aid should come with this strong conditions, such as requirements that car makers build more fuel efficient vehicles and equity stakes for the government so taxpayers could profit if the companies recover.
Do I need to translate this?
Reed and Pelosi are saying to the big three, you let us have financial stake in the companies.
You let us design the cars, you have got to make more fuel efficient cars.
This is what in part, it's not the sole reason, but this is what in part has led the big three to the problems that they have.
Do you know that their businesses around the world are thriving?
General Motors Ford Chrysler, well, General Motors Ford, I'm not sure about Chrysler, I think's true for them too.
You can't, I mean, China, the favorite car in China is a Buick.
In Europe, they make all kinds of General Motors and Ford cars, and people buy them left and right.
And one of the reasons is that there aren't as many restrictions on mileage and cafe standards, all this other gobbledygook, that people have no idea about building cars and designing and have forced on the domestic production of U.S. automobiles.
It seems like such a long time ago.
Remember when the phrase was, as goes GM, so goes the country.
Whatever happened to that.
What happened to that means is that there's no more capitalism in the auto industry.
Now it's as goes the U.S. government, so goes GM.
And Ford, Chrysler, and so forth.
It's just.
And so here's the auto manufacturers and CEOs, dire straits, so here come Pelosi and Obama pressuring Bush.
All right, we want stakes.
We want ownership.
And you better get in gear.
You better get in gear making cars we say you ought to make.
How many of you want to buy a Nancy Pelosi design car?
How many of you would hire Harry Reed to design a car you wanted to build?
Get serious out here, ladies and gentlemen.
But here is the thing, besides all that is the most offensive.
Reed and Pelosi said they want equity stakes for the government so taxpayers could profit if the companies recover.
Now that just insults my intelligence.
Now, when they talk about money coming into the government from a situation like this, all of a sudden it's ours.
In the normal ebb and flow of a Washington day, no money is ours.
It's all Washington's.
And as I said yesterday, they then start calculating what the government cost of every rule in the tax code is.
What's the cost to us, the government for the mortgage interest deduction?
What's the cost to us of having uh a 401ks?
What's the cost to us of allowing people to have their health care benefits not called income and therefore not taxable?
Government looks at every dollar in this country as its own, and they look at the cost to the government of what your income is, what your taxes are, so forth and so on.
But now, now all of a sudden, if they invest in in General Motors and Ford, and if General Motors and Ford show a profit and are able to pay back some of the law, why?
You and I, folks, we're gonna benefit.
Which is a crock.
Taxpayers would profit.
Let me ask you a question.
Let's say they go ahead and bail out General Motors and Ford.
General Motors and Ford like Chrysler of Lee Irococo fame, happen to turn it around and repay the loans all back to the federal government.
And then let's assume that the federal government does relinquish its stake in the auto companies, but don't count on that.
But let's just hypothetically say they do.
And all of this profit starts coming back, a great investment the government made in the big three.
Is your paycheck gonna get any bigger?
No, you're not gonna see a dime of it.
But rush but rush, the treasury would swell, income would roll it right.
And what's gonna happen to that money?
We're gonna be so far in debt, it's just gonna be debt service.
There aren't again it is not gonna be any profit, folks.
The government doesn't know how to create profit.
The government only knows debt.
The government only knows limitless spending and debt.
They do not know profit.
All they Know is how to tax profit.
All they know is how to punish profit.
All they know is how to set up obstacles in the way of profit.
This notion that we, the taxpayers, might profit if the government bails out the big three and that somehow we're supposed to go along with this.
On that basis insults my intelligence.
But hell, it's over anyway, because the big three auto CEOs are on their hands and knees.
And they're saying, not only will we build more fuel efficient cars, not only will we do that, we will agree to limit CEO pay.
The CEOs of the big three have agreed that they've really literally bent over gravity ankles.
Okay, you give us the bailout, and we'll go along limiting executive pay in the auto industry.
That's how desperate they are to get the goods.
I I just I you know I I remember when the focus in this country used to be on the private sector.
Good old days, what was good for GM was good for America.
Now we're told what's good according to the Treasury Secretary is good for America.
This the singular focus on Washington is the problem.
Everybody, you know, the market down 267 again.
The Obama recession continues.
And why is this happening?
Because there's no stability.
The markets are frozen, waiting for Paulson to say something.
The Treasury Secretary has all the power here.
The markets are frozen because they really don't know how fast Obama is going to embark on his own destruction of the U.S. economy via his tax increases.
There is so much government interference.
There is so much government control.
There is no incentive to plan for next week.
If you're one of these businesses, unless you're desperately trying to stay alive by asking the government for a bailout, then you're trying to get it next week.
But there is no incentive to plan for much next five years out.
We have a situation where the federal government is daddy, and all these corporate entities are now junior, and daddy is trying to figure out what junior's allowance is going to be, or if he's going to be given enough of an allowance to go borrow the car.
Meanwhile, Junior has no clue what's coming his way, so he can't go buy the car, can't go borrow it, can't rent it, can't do whatever.
So Junior's sitting around waiting for Daddy to make up his mind, and Dad sitting there getting drunk every night with all the money that he's got, trying to figure out where it's gonna go.
You got Obama calling him every night saying, This is where I want the money to go, this is where I want you to send it, and I want you to do it before I'm inaugurated.
So think of yourselves as junior, think of the government as daddy, and you're sitting around, you're begging for an allowance, and your allowance could be to pay your mortgage or to give you a house, to fill your gas tank.
We have Veterans Day.
Maybe we can find a day to salute those in the private sector who used to be leaders in America's pursuit of happiness.
I can, you know, I'm I'm serious.
We ought we need to seriously consider establishing capitalism day so that we never forget what it was.
And we are back, El Rushball, the cutting edge societal evolution.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh let me mention this now so that you are not shocked and stunned.
I'm taking Thursday and Friday off.
It is the annual limbaugh open, a bunch of golf guys, it's an annual thing coming in.
We're doing an expanded weekend this year.
And so we've got who we got.
We we've got uh uh Yeah, Mark Davis Thursday, Jason Lewis on Friday, and I will be back on uh on Monday, taking just a couple of days here at the end of the week, uh, golf buddies coming in every night.
It's just the most fun, and I need it.
Uh uh just uh the need to do this, we serve Allen Brothers every night, just did just I love that stuff.
You know, people say, Why do you like it so much?
I mean, is this stake?
No, it's not.
See, this is the point.
I there's always been something about I like getting what you can't get.
I like getting what you can't get in this case at the grocery store.
I remember when I was a kid, well, not a kid, I remember when I was an adult in the 1970s, early 80s, huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
And at that time the NFL did not sell replica jerseys.
They didn't sell, they sold replicas.
They didn't sell authentic.
The teams wouldn't give them out, except the charities and substance.
You could not get one.
And finally, when I worked for the Kansas City Royals, I worked in marketing and I met the guy who worked for the company at that time that manufactured all the NFL jerseys.
And I begged him, Did I get a couple Steelers jersey?
The real things that you make for them.
I'm sorry I can't do it.
And on Thanksgiving the day before Thanksgiving, they showed up.
He did it as a surprise.
And I did it's just, I don't know if you're like me, but I just always like trying to get things that can't be gotten.
Well, Allen Brothers steaks, I mean, they're you can get them, but you're not gonna get them at the grocery store because it's so rare.
The it's genuine USDA prime.
And there's only two to three percent of all beef that is of that grade and quality.
The restaurants get most of it.
Allen Brothers services restaurants as well.
I mean, it's a great gift to yourself or to anybody else.
I just I just absolutely love this stuff.
You can see it.
They got a great website and catalog, AB stakes.
A B, Allen Brothers, A B Stakes.com.
All right, still lots to do.
I want to tell you when we come back here, folks, about this new voting demographic that went mostly for Obama.
That voting demographic is people who make a hundred thousand dollars a year or more.
We got a call coming up here once to know.
How do we defeat this uh Freedom of Choice Act for the employers, the union business?
Folks, that's not the question.
