Time Text
Hey, greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plan.
Broadcast excellence resumes, hosted by me.
Your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, tumult, chaos, unpredictability, a transition, and even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh, 800-282-2882.
Nice to have you with us.
Mr. Broadcast Engineer, moving forward, audio sound bites, so we'll start at number 14 when we get back to them.
Watching MSNBC at the top of the hour.
I saw something.
So I don't read the New York Times ever, I don't get the newspaper.
Sometimes I'll check the website now and then, but they had a they had the Chiron banner at the bottom of the screen.
New York Times transition edition.
I said, you have got to be kidding me.
They have a transition edition of the paper out.
And then underneath that it said, Bush administration has been working on transition for the past year.
And I said, Well, now that explains a whole lot.
I'm surprised.
In their oval office meeting yesterday, Bush just didn't throw the keys at Obama and say, here it is, pal.
It's all yours.
Have at it.
Go get Bin Laden.
If you need me, I'm available by phone down in Crawford.
The drive-by's are acting like the transition's already happened.
Obama is running the show.
That is the news.
That is the tenor.
That's the narrative.
That's the template that they are putting out there.
Remember, he did it was not a record turnout.
52% of the vote.
48% voted against him.
57, 58 million people, but they're creating this illusion out there that this is uh the most amazing thing that's ever happened.
Camelot's back.
It's Camelot, Camelot.
And the Kennedys are back.
People haven't been this excited since the uh the Kennedys uh were there.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Rockford, Illinois, the nation's economic troubles play out one family at a time at the New Horizons Learning Center.
In this struggling city, two hours northwest of Chicago.
Some parents have been laid off and they have to pull their kids out of daycare until they can find a job.
Others' employment hours have been cut, so they reduce their kids' attendance to a few days a week.
See, I think this is a good thing.
I think it especially this is government-run daycare.
Get the kids the hell out of there.
This is this is one of these little shining little stars, little uh silver linings in the cloud, they say.
I realize a lot of you people aren't gonna see it that way.
But the children are not the children are suffering in daycare.
We just don't know it till they get out of there.
The children are being polluted, they're being perverted, they're being corrupted, they're being indoctrinated in daycare.
Get them the hell out of there.
Those thug teachers.
Parents nationwide are telling daycare providers they must scale back or abandon their services.
Instead, they keep kids at home with grandparents.
Or upend their work life balance because gas and food prices have been gas and food prices prohibitive still.
What's the date of this?
Have they the oil price is 59 bucks a barrel?
Gas in some places is two bucks a gallon.
But look at the narrative in this story.
Oh, yeah, gas and food prices are so astronomically high.
Uh, it's prohibitive.
Uh at average child care costs outpace rent and mortgage payments, even for those drawing salaries.
It's horrible out there.
Have to pull the kids out of daycare.
Uh I we know we need to look at Oklahoma.
Do you see the election returns out of Oklahoma?
John McCain got 65.6% of the vote in Oklahoma, the highest state percentage for him in the country, even though Democrats hold an edge in voter registration by about 300,000 votes in Oklahoma.
McCain swept all 77 counties, repeating Bush's feat four years ago against the haughty John Kerry.
No Democrat has won a presidential race in Oklahoma since Lyndon Johnson's landslide in 1964.
When I saw this, I said, No, what's different about Oklahoma?
Other than the people who live there, what's different?
I asked myself, do they uh they have early voting?
Do they allow registration and voting on the same day?
Do you need an ID?
And isn't it interesting?
The GOP for the most part, I'm gonna get Democrat governor David Bourne, but the GOP for the most part runs the state, and this story says the Oklahoma state economy's in good shape.
Oklahoma's not in trouble at all.
65.5% voted Republican.
So I looked it up, folks.
And here is what I found out.
You could not register and vote on the same day in Oklahoma.
Voter registration ends 25 days before election day.
You can visit your county election board or mail in the form.
Deadline is Friday, October 10th, to mail in your vote.
An ID was required to vote.
When you register to vote in Oklahoma, you'll receive a voter ID card from the election official.
You need to bring that card with you, your voter ID card when you go to vote.
If you lose or misplace your ID card, you get a new one by contacting the county elections official.
Cards are not issued during the 24 days before the election.
They did have early voting in Oklahoma on the Friday before the election, not 30 days before, not 25 days before they had early voting on the Friday before.
They had Friday, Saturday, and Monday early voting from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Now it sounds like Oklahoma has elections the way the whole country used to have elections.
No early voting, you had to have an ID.
No registering and voting on the same day.
I mean, the Democrats are in the process of stealing the Franken Coleman election in Minnesota.
They're just doing it.
I mean, they're finding all these votes after 100, and this is exactly what they did in the state of Washington with the governor up there, Christine Grego Gregory, however you pronounces her name, I've been told and I can't remember.
But they found more votes for her than people actually lived in the state.
After 100% of the votes were counted, they have found something like 500 new votes for Al Franken.
And none for Coleman.
They're stealing that Senate race right under everybody's nose.
Everybody's watching this happen.
The margin, I think, started in uh 700 some odd, now it's down to 200.
And the recount hasn't even started.
So you got that, you got all this early voting, all this funny registration and stuff.
I th I think our elections have been uh I think they've been corrupted.
In fact, there's no doubt in my mind that the uh elections have been corrupted.
All right, from the politico.
This is um from today's website, politico.com.
Barack Obama promised that he would lower taxes for 95% of Americans and raised them from the 5% who benefited most under Bush's tax policies.
Remarkably, though, the most affluent 5% supported Obama, and that was perhaps the key to his victory.
This group, the rise of a new elite class of voters, is at the heart of the fast-paced changes in demographics affecting the political, sociological, and economic landscape of the country.
While there has been some inflation over the past twelve years, the exit poll demographics show that the fastest growing group of voters in America has been those making over 100,000 a year in income.
Well, now hell's bells, folks.
What does that tell you about all this rigmarole we've been hearing for six years about how rotten the economy is?
We've been living in supline America, they've been telling us.
People are losing their jobs or having to choose between dog food, cat food, and real food and medicine.
They've been talking recession, recession, recession for six years.
They have been talking gas price up, people being laid off, people can't afford to drive as much.
You remember all these stories.
It was relentless for six years.
And yet, now, in the exit polling data, the fastest growing group of voters in America has been those making over $100,000 a year.
That is superb news.
And it's happened in the Bush economy recently.
We got to change these policies, Obama says.
We got to get rid of these Policies.
The failed policies of the past eight years, they say.
And yet look at all of this increase in income.
In 1996, get this now.
In 1996, only 9% of the electorate said their family income was as high as 100 grand.
Last week, that 9% had become 26%.
Twenty-six percent of the electorate say their family income is at least 100,000 a year.
That's more than one in four voters, folks.
Those making over 75,000 a year are up to 15% from 9%.
If you put this another way, more than 40% of those voting earned over 75 grand, making this the highest income electorate in history.
Now, from speaking for myself, this is fabulous.
I love hearing this.
This is great news, and I'm not surprised the Bush economy, like the Reagan economy, lowering people's tax cuts was superb for people.
And the economy was roaring for this to be the case.
We kept hearing about the failed Bush policies in the last eight years.
Now we've got to go in there and change all of this.
And by God, we're going to change it.
And this these numbers of people growing their income ain't gonna happen.
Those people now are gonna face Obama's new tax increases, folks.
This is gonna be choked off.
This is going to be shut down.
The poorest segment of the electorate, those making under $15,000 a year, has also shrunk from eleven percent to six percent over the past twelve years.
Those making between 15 and 30,000 a year, the working poor shrunk from 23 to 12%.
Do you realize the magnitude of these numbers?
The poor got richer, everybody got richer, but they were the failed policies of the last eight years.
The failed policies of the last eight years, the media jumping right along trying to convince you while you were doing great, while you were doing well, while you were upwardly mobile that somehow it wasn't real, it wasn't happening because not everybody was, and you had to be feeling guilty about it.
Journalistic malpractice, mouthing the talking points of the Democrat Party smearing the president, smearing the economy, smearing the military, smearing the United States of America for six years.
But I have one more observation about this, and then we'll take a break and get to your phone calls.
This group, the rise of a new elite class of voters, all these people now making more than 75, all these people now making more than a hundred.
This would seem, ladies and gentlemen, I say this happily so, uh, this would seem to undermine the pseudo-intellectual conservatives on our side who are arguing that all conservative appeals must be to the middle class.
We genuine we really do.
You know, rebuilding the conservative movement in the Republican Party is going to be a challenge.
It's gonna be an epic battle, and we've got people on our side who think we have missed the boat because we're not targeting Hispanics, we're not targeting Walmart voters, we're not targeting the middle class, and we're not targeting them the right way.
We actually have people calling themselves conservatives who say what we need to do is just be like Democrats, but not as bad.
We need to go to these voters and tell them what we run in government are going to do for them.
Middle class voters, Walmart voters, whatever the categorizations these uh these intellectuals on our side are talking about.
When in fact, everybody is more upwardly mobile than anybody new.
This this whole business of class politics.
It gets confusing.
And you know what?
It makes me want to just abandon all this class politics.
I hate it.
I hate identity politics, I hate class politics, because we are all Americans.
I don't like we gotta go out and get the Hispanics, though, Rush.
That's uh there's a way to get Hispanics as we get we can get African Americans, we can get women, we can get everybody with a set of core principles that we do not abandon that benefit everybody, regardless the damned color of their skin or their gender.
We're all Americans for crying out loud.
And now we've got people on our side who want to get into class politics and identity politics and come up with a portion of our agenda that targets this group, say it's Hispanics, or this group say it's the working poor, or I'm gonna go get this group, one armed amputees on West 14th Street in the village.
I mean, however they want to get this down, pet we've got to go wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Broad principles that apply across the board.
Conservatism, liberty, capitalism, free markets, property rights, national security.
It's not tough.
But I'll tell you, until a leader emerges in the arena of electoral politics.
We're going to have all these pseudo-intellectuals on our side wandering all over the countryside telling us they've got the brilliant answer to what went wrong.
And their let me tell you something.
Their candidate is who lost their ideas, these pseudo-intellectuals on our side.
The way to go who who McCain made every move possible for Hispanics, right?
Did he get them?
He did not.
They don't even have the guts.
These people on our side do not even have the guts to stand up and say, okay, my candidate didn't work and my ideas didn't work.
Because these pseudo-intellectuals who want to get into class politics and look at Americans like liberals do and see a group there and a group there and a group there and come up with a government plan for that group, a government plan for that group, they got that campaign.
And we saw what happened to it.
And the tragic thing is, we could have beaten Obama.
Obama could have been beat.
You look at the percentage of Republicans who stayed home.
Have you seen that in the elec in the exit polls?
There's so much to mind from these exit polls.
Twenty percent of conservatives voted Obama.
Same percentage of Republicans, but a lot of Republicans just stayed home.
This was not a record turnout election.
And we had people calling here throughout the campaign.
I don't care what you say, Rush, I'm staying home.
I'm so mad I'm not voting for any of them.
I can't vote for Obama and I'm not voting for the Republicans.
And they stayed home and they did.
It's just tragic.
Obama could have been beaten.
None of this need have happened.
And the next call is from a woman in New York who wants to know how we're going to beat this card check business of the unions.
We'll get to her right after this.
Don't go away.
Back to the phones we go.
As promised, this is Regina in Kruegers, New York.
I'm glad you waited, Regina.
Great, uh great to have you here with us.
Thank you, Rush.
Uh I want to wish you a very happy uh Veterans Day, and as a Vietnam era vet and former commissioned officer of the United States Navy, I commission you as honorary admiral of the fleet of conservative talk radio programs.
Thank you very much.
I'm I'm I'm I'm uh honored by that.
Oh, well, thank you.
Uh I am also a feminist for life, and uh as such am very concerned about this Freedom of Choice Act, which is uh in Congress and has been uh promised by Mr. Obama to be passed, or he's going to be able to do that.
Let me I want to define terms here.
You said you're feminist for life means you you consider yourself a feminist, but you're pro-life.
Absolutely.
Now, when you're talking about the Freedom of Choice Act, which act are you talking about?
Well, um it's a um it's a bill that's in Congress, and what it will do is um it will shut uh shut down uh parental consent laws um nationwide, it was Obama can't wait for that bill.
He's um uh uh supports infanticide.
I know that.
Uh there were three, uh there were many uh uh people who are running for Congress who were very pro-life, uh Deborah Honeycutt in Georgia, Adam West in Florida, uh New York, uh Chairon Michael Lawler, um I can't remember all of them, but many, many, many uh and Russell, who was running against that guy, Mertha out in Pennsylvania.
Uh so I think most of these guys lost.
Uh so a lot of our our hopes were dashed.
Now, I know that uh in in former uh cases we've uh flooded the lines of these representatives and senators to uh get them to ward off this horrible thing.
But uh I don't know if there's other types of uh pressure that we can put on them.
Uh let me be blunt.
May I be blunt?
Absolutely.
Elections have consequences.
Yes.
And we lost, and we don't, and we lost numbers.
The Democrats are dangerously close to having a sixty vote filibuster proof majority, and if they get Franken, they're one they're one step closer, and all they need is a couple of pro-choice Republicans to go along with them.
They got a filibuster proof vote on the Senate on this.
Uh I don't think too many pro-life Democrat senators are gonna buck their party on this thing.
You go to the House, I mean, w uh w we don't have the numbers to stop these people.
And I'm telling you, uh, Regina, Obama and his team, are they are good old-fashion Chicago machine politicians.
Now what they want, they are going to ram through, and they're going to do it as quickly as they can.
And I laugh at all this talk that Reed and Pelosi are going to be dealing with this little man-child amateur, and they're not going to let him get away with all he wants because there's a natural tendency for these two branches to fight it out over power.
I'm going to tell you who's going to lose these fights is going to be Reed and Pelosi.
They don't know what has hit them.
You think you're going to be burning up phone lines, uh, opposing the Freedom of Choice Act.
Obama's going to have 3.1 million people emailing recalcitrant Democrats, threatening them with loss of fundraising if they don't go his way.
Um Regina, hang on, I have to take a break here, but I want to hit you between the eyes with reality.
We come back.
And we go back to Regina in Kruger's New York.
Uh Regina.
Oh, uh, Rush, can I just ask something?
Being it's uh Veterans Day.
I have a nephew, Major Edmund Riley, over in Afghanistan.
I'd ask that you keep him in your prayers and thoughts and all of the people that listening, and of all of our troops that are over in Iraq and Afghanistan.
By all means.
I just want you to know that I, all of us here at the EIB network, and throughout this audience, we celebrate veterans every day.
We thank God and them for veterans every day.
And we have, and we always have, we always will.
I think the other thing I wanted to ask you was um relating uh somewhat to this pro-life stuff.
Uh there are a number of uh of organizations uh basically uh constitutional lawyer firms that are pro-life that uh go after uh abortion mills and try to help them out.
The uh uh J. Seculo has one, uh Sears has another one, um uh Liberty Council is another.
Anyway, uh how many uh openings are left in the Federal Circuit Court and other federal courts that uh Bush was not allowed to fill and will be done.
I don't even want to know.
You don't want to know.
They uh the the numbers are striking.
The Democrats have uh there are so many vacancies, there are so many nominations for the circuit courts, the appellate courts.
There have been some action on the district courts, but uh even there, there are nominees that have been waiting for three years, Regina.
And the Democrats are just stalling everything, and they stalled it on the basis they knew Obama was gonna win.
Obama's gonna get these appointments.
Look at I I here again.
I d I hate doing I told you so.
I just I hate it.
But I gotta hit you between the eyes.
You want to know how we're gonna stop the Freedom of Choice Act?
Tell me how we're gonna stop the tax increases.
Tell me how we're gonna stop anything.
We do not have the votes to get even close to stopping anything in the House of Representatives.
In the Senate, they don't have a filibuster proof every day, majority, they don't have 60 seats.
But depending on if they steal this election in Minnesota, they're gonna get close to it.
And we've got enough wishy-washy moderate Republicans in the Senate who might feel the need to go along with a majority on some of these things.
Ironically, ironically, let's go to the House of Representatives for a moment, because ironically, the best hope that we might have for stopping any of Obama's stuff is Democrats in the House.
Blue Dog conservative Democrats.
Rahm Emmanuel, starting in 2006, was assigned by Nancy Pelosi To get enough Democrats elected to make her speaker.
Well, Rahm Emanuel knew that he couldn't get liberal Democrat members of the House elected in certain regions of the country, so he went, he recruited conservative pro-life, low tax, small government Democrats in North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, a number of other places, they got elected.
They were running against Republican incumbents who had lost their way, who at one time used to be conservative.
But they'd either come out against the war, they were criticizing Bush, or they had spent wildly, or they had abandoned their own conservatism and they were sitting ducks.
And we had some more of these run in 2008, and there are more conservative blue dog Democrats in 2008, or will be next year, than there were in 2006 in that election.
So ironically, when it comes to cultural issues, the best hope we might have legislatively is conservative Democrats opposing their own party.
But you can't put a whole lot into that because they're going to be so outnumbered.
All Pelosi has to do is drag them in the office and say you want to be re-elected.
In fact, let's not even talk about re-election.
Do you want to ever make it up the leadership ladder in this place?
Because if you do, you better vote as I tell you, or as Stanny Hoyer tells you.
And if you don't, then you may be here two years or ten years, but you won't matter a dime.
So a lot of pressure is going to be brought to bear on them.
But ironically, that's the best hope that we have a blocking Democrat action in the House.
But there aren't that many of them.
There are a significant number, but it's not that many.
It pains me to say that some of the most conservative members of the House are Democrats.
Pains me to say this.
But it's true.
It's true out there.
So here, folks, the reality.
Legislatively, whatever Obama and Reed and Pelosi unite on and want to do, we can't stop.
Not legislatively.
Can't stop it.
During the election, during the campaign, I went deaf.
I went hoarse.
I went everything trying to say to people, they are gonna, they're gonna redefine what this country is made of, how it functions, and it's gonna take a generation to roll it back.
It's gonna take 25 years to get rid of this stuff.
These judicial appointments they're gonna make for life.
They're gonna populate the bureaucracy even more than it is now with career liberals.
This is what they do.
The Bush administration, by the way, announced to its career people that when he leaves, they leave.
Bush is not playing that game.
Bush is not leaving any quote unquote career Republican appointees in the bureaucracy.
He's making them all leave with him, because that's the right thing to do, leaving it open for the next administration.
But we're playing against a team whose whole reason for living and existing is to control the government.
Ours, of course, is to limit it.
So we don't have the same even objective.
I mean, they live and die to work in government, to get paid by government, to rob from government, to pervert government government to lead it, to populate it, to grow it, to make it the central thing in as many people's lives.
That's their objective.
And they have succeeded.
The most radical Democrat ever has been elected president by acting presidential.
They have succeeded.
We have an administration led by a guy who is going to do everything in here.
They're not going to make the mistakes the Clinton people made.
They're telling themselves that.
They're not going to go middle road to get things done.
They don't have to now.
There aren't enough Republicans who can stop them.
They're not worried about the Republicans winning the House in 2012.
I frankly believe that when you have this much hubris and this much arrogance, that you can overreach, and I think they will overreach.
And when they overreach, I don't know when it's going to be, when they overreach is when all these people that think they're at the Prince's Die funeral again.
That's when the lights are going to go off in their heads.
And that's when they're going to realize, oh my God, what have we done here?
Not all of them, but enough.
They will overreach.
And on some of these things they overreach, they're going to get away with.
You remember after the 2000 Wellstone Memorial, I said, I'm not worried about this election.
These guys, they're not going to win.
They're not going to take the Congress back after that display.
I was right.
But every time I predicted similar things, I've been wrong.
I thought this kind of rage and hatred aimed at the president.
I thought the rage and hatred aimed at the U.S. military.
I thought the desire to lose in Iraq, I thought the effort to make people think their country was finished, that there was no economic future, I thought there's no way a majority of people are going to vote for this.
There is no way the people of this country are going to reward this kind of insane lunatic-based anger, rage, and hate.
And I was wrong.
I was wrong this year, I was wrong in 2006.
So let me ask you something.
Do you think we ought to start acting enraged and angry?
Think we ought to start marching in the streets even when it's not who we are.
Should we be angry?
I know the acting is the rage is real.
I know everybody's mad as hell.
I understand everybody is filled with rage out there on our side.
There's 58 million people that are angry, did not vote for Obama.
Okay, so you start replicating the behavior of the Democrats.
Should you start calling Obama names?
Should you start treating Obama the way they treated Bush?
It worked for them.
When everybody in the world thought that it wouldn't, it worked for them.
I noticed Charles Crowdhammer on the Fox All Stars last night said, yeah, it did work for them, but we should not do it.
Republicans ought not do this.
Why?
If it worked.
And the sad thing is it obviously did.
It did not hurt them.
All this insane rage and anger, all of these personal, I mean, writing books and movies about assassinating Bush and to have them critically acclaimed.
To wish for defeat of the United States in the war on terror.
And countless other things I can't even recall now.
I just said human nature is such, this is not going to be rewarded.
But it was.
Maybe it wasn't, maybe it was just the power of the charismatic demagoguery of Obama, who did not come across as angry.
But regardless, we lost, and we are hip deep in doo-doo.
We have the most radical leftist extremist, disguised as something much tamer and milder, who is insisting on putting an imprint on this country such as it has never had.
You think the Great Society and all that stuff was bad, and you think Jimmy Carter was bad, these people are going to look at that as kindergarten.
Romper room.
They're going to overreach and they're going to destroy a lot of things.
And it's going to be and eventually.
That's the primary source of your concern is what kind of country are my kids going to grow up in?
Where will be their opportunity?
Is their opportunity going to rest on calling a government agency?
Oh no, we don't want that.
You voted for it.
Or not you, but some people did.
So how do we stop the Freedom of Choice Act?
We don't.
Not in the legislative bodies.
How do we stop card check?
We don't.
We gave up the chance to stop it when we lost the election.
When the Republican Party refused to have an identity.
When the presidential candidate refused to even campaign on behalf of other Republicans.
You can say we deserve what we got.
And it might be true, but it's still frustrating as hell.
So how do we stop this stuff?
The Obama team is going to have three million people whose job is going to be to hassle Democrats who don't toe the line in Congress and in the House.
They're going to threaten them with no more fundraising.
They're going to threaten them with being uh heckled at uh at various public appearances.
Folks, we haven't run into anything like this before.
So what do we do?
We march in the streets, do we call Congress?
Do we send in emails?
And to whom?
Do we send it to our side?
Or would he send it to Chuck Schumer?
We send it to Harry Reid and So forth.
What are they going to do when they hear from a bunch of angry Republicans?
Not going to vote for them anyway.
It's a sad thing to say, but the the best option is to let them overreach and screw it up on their own.
It will happen.
But in the meantime, they're going to get a lot done that's going to take a long time to undo.
And I'm not trying to depress you or be pessimistic.
I'm being realistic here.
And I'm not saying there aren't ways to beat them.
Don't misunderstand.
I'm just saying our guys do not have the numbers in the House or Senate to do so.
Even if they're all unified.
May have some parliamentary procedures to play and things like that.
But the way I'm hearing everybody talk right now, I think there's going to be a lot of fear of going against Obama anyway.
First black president historic.
Why give him a chance, everybody's saying?
And I he's gonna run through that window.
He's gonna run through that window faster than Deion Sanders.
We're not even gonna see him go through that window when he gets all his stuff done.
We'll be back after this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know a lot going on here, folks.
Snurdly, did you did you?
Did you remember to back that up?
Thank goodness.
We're updating all of our computer equipment here.
Snerdley switched out a computer.
He got to get rid of his laptop.
We gave him a tower.
One of the uh one of the Mac Pros.
And he had his old computer and he was uh it transferred the data from the old computer to the new computer.
We in the in the in the Mac where we call this migration.
He migrated it over.
And then he was going to uh I don't know what to do with the laptop, but he wasn't gonna use it.
And I said, You better back that up.
You never know what's but it's on the new machine.
Back it up.
You had it on there for a reason.
Um it reminded me my friend that had the iPhone, and she had sh not very savvy tech wise, didn't have another camera.
Every picture of her family or grandkids was on this iPhone, and she uh she took it into the Apple store and a mistake was made, and they erased everything.
She had not backed it up because she didn't understand the concept of backing it up.
And they were so far gone, retrieval software couldn't get this.

Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Happy Veterans Day, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
Same to you.
Yeah, from behind the orange curtain here in Huntington Beach.
Uh I have an observation, and I'm I'm I'm it seems to me that I believe that the reason why Nevada and Colorado went to Obama is because it's full of a bunch of Californians who couldn't make it here in California, and they still have their same California ideology.
They they go there for for the jobs, the the cheaper housing, the lower taxes, the good school, and and they turn around, they want to change it into California.
You know, the big bankrupt government, high tax, bad for business, increased housing expenses, environmental rules, etc.
And you know, it's kind of interesting, it's like a bunch of cockroaches leaving the state.
You are so shrewd.
You are so shrewd.
Snurdly save that woman for tomorrow.
Tell him to say I got a call I'm not gonna get to.
Look, it's not just it's not just Colorado and Nevada.
You know that North Carolina, North Carolina went Democrat for the first time and who knows how long, and everybody's trying to figure out why.
Let me tell you why.
It's called the in if the North Carolinians will say it's the Yankees.
People from North uh uh Northeast part of the country, Long Island or whatever, they can't stand to live there anymore.
Cost of living is too high, taxes are too high.
So they're everybody's going to California, or or in this case North Carolina, rather.
And the Yankees are going and they're polluting the place.
They're bringing their ideology down there for a cheaper lifestyle than they're trying to turn North Carolina and other places into the places that they left.
That's it, folks.
Another sterling three hours of broadcast excellence is uh temporarily halted for 21 hours.
Be back tomorrow.
Eager, revved, and ready.
Thanks for being with us today.
See you then.
