Time Text
And once again, a warm greeting to all of you music lovers, conversationalists, and thrill seekers all across the fruited plane.
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 media of the Democrat Party called him Hitler, called him Bush Hitler, did movies about his assassination, books about his assassination.
They 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 this.
Just a horrible, worthless dreg of a human being.
And 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, as he said he would during the campaign.
So all's good now.
The covert operations are fabulous.
And Obama needs them for flexibility.
We also learned from the Chicago Tribune blog, The Swamp, that we had the worst bombings since July in Baghdad yesterday.
31, I think, dead, 31 casualties.
Yep, killed at least 31.
And that is being hailed as progress.
31 dead in a bomb blast in Baghdad hailed as progress by the Associated Press Obama because there's been, I mean, 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, which leads me to speculate and ask which black civil rights leaders are going to get wiretapped if Camelot is back.
By the way, Mike, I goofed up here.
Rather than the, I do want to play somebody number four before we get to number seven.
As you know, the president graciously, oh, that's another thing we learned, how gracious and decent President Bush is.
The drive-by, we had a long montage of all the drive-by media talking about how gracious man President Bush is, what a decent, decent guy he is, 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 leaker.
And I think he leaked to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington.
This is what she said on MSNBC 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 set aside needs to be dispersed more quickly, that there needs to be an economic stimulus package now, and this means tax cuts for the middle class, all targeted for the middle class, 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.
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 tell her, and look at how she portrayed it.
Obama, he's tough.
He's strong.
He hit the ground running.
He walked into the living room and the Oval Office of this lame duck guy, and he told him how it's going to be.
He laid down the law.
We love Obama.
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've got a great future ahead of you.
Very, just apparently he's outgoing and as nice as he could be.
And after he shook hands, he offered Obama some of that hand purifier stuff that you put on your hands after you shake a lot of people's hands and so forth.
And 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 got pugnacious again and tried to take over and very aggressive and so forth.
And it rubbed Bush the wrong way.
This was the story 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, I guess Obama, one of the reasons he might have chartered an MD-80, a big airplane, 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 his hand washed.
I don't know.
Do Messiahs swab?
No, you don't swab your ears with Zycam.
No, it doesn't work.
The cold is a rhinovirus.
Rhino means nose.
You've got to swab and not real far up.
It just swabbed just inside, pinched bulk nostrils for five seconds after you use it.
Stuff's miraculous if you get it early enough, it stops cold.
These guys ought to be using that stuff instead of his hand wash.
I mean, a hand wash is a good backup, I guess.
Let's see.
So many places to go here.
So little time.
Let's stick with the audio sound buttons.
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.
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, Snerdley told me during the break that he had, 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.
Snerdley 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.
Snurdley 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?
And Snerdley's getting exasperated as he tells me the story.
I had to calm him down.
I said, you don't, you got to, you have to understand what this is.
This is the exact scenario of the death of Princess Diana.
Remember, we watched that.
I was like, what the hell is going on?
Millions of people lining the street, all those flowers, people writing notes to a dead person and hanging them up in the street signs.
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 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-bys, 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 a drive-by will interview them.
But 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.
Americans are human beings to me.
People are human beings.
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 caught up in this cult-like thing 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 be 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 sending in troops and I'm bombing.
He'd be applauded.
John Kerry was that, they would applaud.
The French would applaud it.
There is nothing he can do wrong right now.
It's creepy.
And you know, the funny thing is, 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 said, boy, they just, they do.
They're buying this Messiah gig that I've created.
And he's a creature.
Creepy.
He's creepy and people that are going bonkers all the time.
Creepy.
It's very, it's very, it's creepy.
Very singular.
And it's just, it's highly manipulative and creepy.
So people, you know, they really, Snerdley, 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.
I can't spread.
I don't know.
Tickets.
In fact, Diane Feinstein, who heads a committee that passes out the tickets, she had to go on television yesterday, say, hey, do not sell these tickets.
People are scalping them.
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 the tickets, 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 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.
Washington's bad enough on a normal day.
Look what happens to Republicans when they spend the night there.
Just takes 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 obligate it to anybody.
If I start asking for inauguration tickets and they give me some, you know what the payback is going to be somewhere down the hotel?
I would 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.
75% believe Obama will do a good job.
Have you ever heard of such poll before?
What's he going to 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.
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?
Yeah, 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 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 this guy Brokaw and two Newsweek guys, they don't know what he is, but they think it's creepy.
So, so here is, do you know what Obama's approval rating is?
Do 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, Sturdley.
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.
We'll be right back.
Now, as you watch the news and as you listen to me tell you about all of this, this Princess Dye 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.
52% of voters went with Obama.
Just 52%.
This is not a nationwide thing.
57, 58 million voters voted against Obama.
But 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-bys were.
They are part of the president-elect staff, and they will be part of his administration.
Make no bones.
That is Kansas City Star laying off more people.
A couple of their newspapers laying off people.
You think, well, okay, the Obama campaign staff 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.
The public is far more skeptical of Obama than the liberal reporters and the drive-by media in leading you to believe.
I want to warn you about this, 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, just an odd ball that you're cast out.
You're just kooky.
A whole country loves Obama.
A whole country wants to go on your inauguration.
The whole country's caught, and you're not.
What's wrong with me?
They want you asking yourself, what's wrong with you?
And this is a, this president-elect Obama is acting presidential.
The media is acting as though he is president.
They are creating 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.
Public is far more skeptical and level-headed than the reporters are.
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 DC, she's happy she have dinner parties again.
She'd invite people that 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.
Let's see, I guess it was last night.
Tony Morrison is the one who called Bill Clinton the first black president, by the way.
And Rose 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 some?
I mean, this is hallelujah.
Jesus Christ.
I don't want to put too much weight on that.
You know where my relationship is.
You know what?
On religion, I just said that.
You don't want to put too much weight on one man.
This is an exceptional man.
He's not an African-American.
He's that particular one.
You know, he's really specific in his talents and his abilities and his intelligence and what I call wisdom.
Yeah.
She's not going to the inauguration, though.
This is the next bite.
No.
This is not going to happen.
It has too many people.
Oh, come on.
This is not going to happen.
What's not going to happen?
I'm not going to go.
Yeah, you're going.
You've got to go.
I really do.
I don't have a dress.
I'll get you a dress.
I'll get you a 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 doesn't want to go.
Charlie Rose going to get her a dress.
Make sure she goes.
It's El Rushbo on the cutting edge.
Great to have you with us.
Broadcast excellence unfolding before your very eyes and ears.
By the way, it has the Sioux City Iowa Journal newspaper has a story.
The chair from the Illinois Senate that Obama used is now, well, somebody thinks it should be an artifact.
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 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 are 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 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 on North London Street.
The £1 million home is out of the price range of most families in the UK.
The average house price in Britain is £224,000.
Now, the mother of five is pictured here.
Her name is Omounmi Odia.
And she's very pleased.
I got a big shopping bag there.
Very pleased with her new detached house, which was worth as much as £1 million at the height of the property boom.
She is Nigerian.
She's a single mother.
Omo Wunmi 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 had 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 30s.
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 10 years and is thus entitled to the home under government rules.
It has recently been revealed taxpayers have paid £14.8 billion 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 bailout's going to deal with people who can't pay their mortgages.
I mean, Obama walks in there yesterday and tries to strongarm Bush into 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 1 million pound house by British taxpayers, Sugarland, Texas.
This is Jay.
Glad to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, magnanimous one.
You mentioned something at the beginning of the program.
In the recap, you didn't say it again, but Raul Castro going to Russia and the president of Russia going to ask for a release of part of the embargo, if not all of the embargo, on Cuba.
It sort of reminds me back in 1962 of getting underneath my desk as a junior in high school.
It's going to be a little bit more difficult this time because he's not only got Cuba to worry about, he's got Hugo Chavez.
So he's liable to send that.
They're liable to send missiles over to try to shortcut the Polish.
Wait a minute.
Who's liable to send missiles where?
The Russians are liable to send missiles back into Cuba or try to.
I think they've already mentioned that there's a possibility.
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, This was not a hurricane.
This was the Russians.
They had exercise in Cuba two or three weeks ago.
It is the rebirth of history is repeating itself.
And, you know, the old story still holds true, is that those who sit back and don't remember the past are certainly bound to relive it.
Well, there's a lot of this stuff happening all over the world.
Medvedev put missiles pointed at Poland.
Biden told us that there are going to be something horrible happen and that the country's not going to like the Obama response to it.
And he begged people, this was out in California or the state of Waik, Seattle, maybe he told the crowd out there, you've got to hang with us.
Remember the love that you have for us right now.
We're going to need that because they're going to test this guy.
This guy's spine is made of steel, Biden said.
They're going to test this guy.
Well, 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 in 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 of China.
China is saying, hey, you better tone down your big lifestyle over there.
You're living too well and too high on the hog.
You got to roll it back.
You've got all these people making big moves on global warming now.
Folks, this is not going to be some casual little 100-day honeymoon of an administration.
There's going to be all kinds of stuff popping out there.
And 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 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 to get 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 it's true for them, too.
You can't, I mean, China, the favorite car in China is 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 gobbledygooky gook 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 these 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 Reid to design a car you wanted to build?
Get serious out here, ladies and gentlemen.
But here is the thing, besides all that, 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 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 General Motors and Ford, and if General Motors and Ford show a profit and are able to pay back, sell it a lot, why?
You and I, folks, we're going to benefit, which is a crock.
Taxpayers would profit.
Now, 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 Ira Coco 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 going to get any bigger?
No, you're not going to see a dime of it.
But rush, but rush, the treasury would swell.
Income would roll right.
And what's going to happen to that money?
We're going to be so far in debt, it's just going to be debt service.
It's not going to 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, grabbed the 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 just, you know, 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.
The singular focus on Washington is the problem.
Everybody, you know, the market, down to 67 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's sitting there getting drunk every night with all the money that he's got, trying to figure out where it's going to 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 serious.
We need to seriously consider establishing Capitalism Day so that we never forget what it was.
And we are back, El Rushbo, the cutting-edge societal evolution.
Ladies and gentlemen, 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've got, yeah, Mark Davis Thursday, Jason Lewis on Friday, and I will be back on Monday.
Taking just a couple of days here at the end of the week, golf buddies coming every night.
It's just the most fun, and I need it.
Just the need to do this.
We serve Allen Brothers every night.
I love that stuff.
People ask, why do you like it so much?
I mean, it's this steak.
No, it's not.
See, this is the point.
There's always been something about, I like getting what you can't get.
I like getting what you can't get to 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 to charities and stuff.
So 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, can I get a couple of Steelers here?
The real things that you make for them.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
And on the day before Thanksgiving, they showed up.
He did it as a surprise.
And 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, you can get them, but you're not going to get them at the grocery store because it's so rare.
It's genuine USDA prime.
And there's only 2% to 3% 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 absolutely love this stuff.
You can see it.
They got a great website and catalog, ABSteaks.
AB, Allen Brothers, ABSteaks.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 $100,000 a year or more.
We got a call coming up here once and all.
How do we defeat this Freedom of Choice Act for the employers, the union biz?
Folks, that's not the question.
