Time Text
Now look, folks, I want to say this one more time.
Every bit of this financial crisis, the bailout, what caused the bailout, what led to it, what's happening with the bailout, every damn bit of it, can be traced directly back to the Democrat Party.
Every bit of it.
Glad you're with us.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, open line Friday on Wednesday today, taking the next couple days off for the annual Limbaugh Golf Open.
800-282-2882 if you'd like to be on the program.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you have noticed this as have I. I, of course, a highly observant uh human being, it's my job.
I sometimes participate in life by observing others doing what they do as they live.
And I have been observing something that's not happening.
Now you may say, Rush, how can you observe something that isn't happening?
That's why I am the host.
I have been watching all of my televisions, and I have been reading all of my websites, and I have occasionally even seen an actual newspaper in places.
And I have not seen the fact that millions of liberal bloggers are using the N word, angry at black people in California for voting against Proposition 8.
The gay marriage amendment to the Constitution in California.
Roseanne Barr.
Black preachers.
Irresponsible, immoral.
Black people are ignorant.
Roseanne Barr, black people are ignorant.
And the N-word is being bandied about, and black churches are being criticized.
And I'm not hearing a word about this.
I haven't seen a single report on this, ladies and gentlemen.
And I take you back now to September the 10th.
Barack Obama speaking before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
They are counting on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airways and rise above the fear and rise above the demagoguery.
And finally enact comprehensive immigration reform.
Well, they're counting on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves.
The hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves.
Can you say fairness doctrine, ladies?
Can you say censorship doctrine is what it is?
So he's gonna stop hateful rhetoric.
Hey, Obama.
Your people are being insulted by others of your people.
Your gay people are insulting your black people.
With the N-word, your Hollywood people are insulting black people and black ministers as immoral and black people as ignorant.
You said you were going to stop the hate-filled rhetoric.
And I see that the hate-filled rhetoric is continuing.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, we have some Barney Frank sound bites coming up, and as always, prior to those da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-la-la-da-la.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Barney Frank, Congressman Massachusetts, is fit to be tied.
He is not happy.
The $700 billion bailout is not being used as it was intended.
He thinks it is his money.
He chaired a hearing today of the House Committee on Financial Services.
The bill we passed that is accompanied by uh a requirement that any profit that is made on those loans be returned to the federal government uh in varying percentages for the first five years, and even more by the fact that uh the federal government then takes the House.
This is not a free ride for that new borrower.
Right, he continued.
We specifically put in that bill of authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to buy whole loans or mortgage bank securities to make us the lender, to make us the owner so we could do these kind of reductions.
Again, the distinction seems to be between obviously owners and services.
To date, Secte hasn't used that authority.
That's a question now that we will have to address.
And it will involve using the second three fifty.
But I believe that we still have a need for that funding to be used to put the federal government in the position of being the owner so we can do the kind of sensible write down of mortgage payments to avoid foreclosure that's in the interest of the economy as a whole.
Yeah, let me translate this for you.
He's he he made this speech after Paulson went out there and basically said, you know what, we're not we're not gonna do what we originally gonna do.
We're not we're not gonna buy up the bad paper.
We're we're not gonna do that.
Uh started begging the banks to start lending, and then you know we're talking about bailing out uh credit card companies and auto companies.
So Barney is saying here uh we explicitly put in the bill authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to buy uh these mortgage backed securities to make us the lender, the owner.
Uh and they're not doing that.
They're not doing it, it's his money.
It's it's being like his money being stolen, his food is being taken away from him on the table.
Uh, and and and because of this, Barney now says he feels vindicated.
I will say I feel vindicated when the Bank of America announced that it was buying countrywide.
A number of my friends were concerned that uh this would be a problem, that Bank of America was too big, and I was asked with some consternation by one person with whom I've worked on some issues, how I could justify supporting the Bank of America buying countrywide.
My answer is at that point I would have supported Syria buying countrywide.
The disaster that was uh inflicted on the country by countrywide was deep seated.
I think Bank of America did a useful thing.
Obviously, they're trying to make money, but I think the society will benefit.
I think the society will benefit.
I would have supported Syria by countrywide.
That's Chris Dodd's bank.
Maybe Dubai could come back in and buy the ports now.
We're gonna sell countrywide to Syria.
Here's one more.
There have been some plans floated to have taxpayer money go in, uh buy up the loans, and then reduce the amount paid.
I think it should be very clear, no matter what people have argued, there is in my judgment zero likelihood that federal taxpayer dollars will go to those who hold loans that never should have been made in the first place.
So he says here that there is in his judgment zero likelihood that taxpayer dollars will go to those who should never have had loans in the first place.
It's the same guy who said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were on solid ground.
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, these people ought to be answering questions, not making statements.
Uh yeah, let me translate all four of those sun bites.
Those this is supposed to be our hostess now.
Those those are our houses.
There's supposed to be our house was supposed to be owner and lending us.
It didn't work out.
The uh way old Barney thought it would.
Let's get a call.
Cincinnati.
We'll start with you, Chris.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
This is Chris in Cincinnati.
It's a honor and a pleasure to speak with you today.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Yes.
Um, I just add a comment about something you said yesterday.
And let me preface this by saying I've been listening to you for eight years.
As an African American female, I do get a lot of slack from family or friends for that.
However, I like to have many different points of references when I'm making my opinions on things, and you happen to be one of them.
Thank you.
Very much I appreciate that.
I can't understand why you would seek another after hearing mine, but give me time.
Yesterday you spoke about how uh the exit polls stated that um if the Republicans had come out, a lot of them stayed home, but if they would have came out, we would have beat Obama.
But during the election, you were speaking of the exopoles as oh, don't pay any attention to the active polls, you know, they don't mean anything.
So which is it, Rat?
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Now this is a this is a nice trick.
See, you you you should have called up and stumped the host day.
We very rarely do stump the host day anymore because it's not possible anymore.
It used to happen.
Okay.
But what I said on election day, pay no attention to the first wave of exit polls that are released at five o'clock.
The first wave of exit polls that were released at five o'clock, actually at two o'clock back in two thousand four, and then the second wave at five o'clock had John Kerry winning in a landslide.
That's why I said pay no attention to the exit polls before the polls close.
Before the actual votes are counted.
I said on election day, pay no attention to exit polls.
Not ever.
Okay, so thank you for clearing by that clarifying that.
But I do want to I di I do want to say, however, before I go, that the sky is not falling.
And because Obama is president, um, believe me, as a self-made woman who's working on her PhD, raising my children on my own, that I feel that there's been 44 presidents.
So, you know, in terms of yes, I did vote for Obama.
I have my reasons.
Let me ask you a question.
Yes.
Uh, do you have financial ass I assume you do?
You're good that you're in the process of getting your PhD.
Uh-huh.
What do you have you have uh this is really none of my business, but I this it is an interesting little game I play sometimes with callers.
Do you have do you have an annual salary or amount of money that you want to make?
Absolutely.
What is it?
What do you want to make?
What's your what is your dream?
Well, my dream, I don't you know what?
I don't think there's ever enough money depending on the lifestyle that we lead.
I've been blessed to be able to take care of what I need to take care of.
I do have to do the last, I will say that.
But what's put it this way.
If if someone asks me my next job, which I plan to go into public health, what do you want?
I need to make at least 150 to 200,000 dollars, which I don't make right now.
All right.
Good.
You have just fallen into Barack Obama's tax increase target income, and at that point where ever whenever you are paid that amount of money, that is when your American dream ends.
I I don't believe he'll be able to do that.
Oh, okay, sure.
Fine.
I just listen to what he says.
You choose to ignore what he says and instead invest in an image that you have of Barack Obama.
By the way, I've not I've not said the sky is falling out there.
Uh-huh.
Sky is blue, the birds are chirping a little brighter, the uh poor people are even nicer when they beg.
It's a great, great, great, uh, great national mood out there, Chris.
It is, it is.
And you know what?
One thing I will I would like to leave you with is that although you know, I don't agree on all his fiscal policies and everything.
Um, I will say, I have a 17-year-old son who has uh had a hard time motivating him.
Ever since Barack Obama has come into the scene for what it's worth, my son has gained an internal motivation that I have not seen.
So, although it's a little small piece r uh rush, a lot of African Americans are feeling that.
I've I've got a story in the stack, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Uh, and I think this is one of the genuine uh positive reactions here.
I think one of the problems one of the problems the African American community is its leaders have continued to make people in that community feel inferior and like they have no chance.
So if Obama can make people think that their horizons are brighter, uh fine and dandy, as long as he gets out of the way and doesn't get in their way, their horizons will be brighter.
But I've got a story coming I've got a story coming up here, Chris about about how the AP or somebody went out another poll, and they have found that increasing number.
Get this folks, increasing number of white people now say that they would feel comfortable working for a black boss.
Open line Friday on Wednesday here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the most listened to radio talk show in America to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Hi, Eric.
Great to have you here with us.
Oh, my man Rush.
This Is uh going to be rough here.
I'm probably people are gonna think I'm a very mean, hateful person, but as a black American who is strongly evangelical and very conservative.
I'm certified black enough to criticize Obama.
I'm certified Christian enough to criticize his ungodly moral positions uh on abortion and homosexuality, and I'm certified conservative enough to criticize you.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What do you think about these prop eight gang calling a using the n-word out there?
Well, when you are immoral as uh immoral is immoral goes, that's just part and parcel with the way they are.
So that's not surprising.
But one thing is Rush, uh, I'm the same guy, the same Eric Woods out of Charlotte who called you about uh back in 2005 that you said was one of the best calls you ever had.
But I want to get on you big time because you're talking about yesterday the I told you so, and I'm gonna criticize Obama as well.
I got some very ugly things as you'll find out about to say about him.
But you talk about the I told you so, the I Told You So there's this song that uh Johnny Mathis and Denise Williams sang a few years ago called Too Much Too Little Too Late.
I remember that song, and I love that song.
All right, great.
Too much too little too late to ever do something again, whatever the lyric line was.
Right, right.
Well, that's what you did yesterday.
You talked about how creepy.
Obama's not creepy.
There is a wicked element.
I'm gonna be very strong here and say what you're doing.
Wait a second now.
I'm quoting Newsweek people.
You gotta listen every day, Eric, to know what's happening.
They have this show in context.
It's newsweek reporters that covered him during the whole campaign.
He's creepy.
He's singular.
He uh sends and watches us watch him, and so if they're gonna call him creepy, and he is creepy in a way, I'll call him creepy.
I'll take the lead from the drive-by's.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm agreeing with you, but I'm going a little step beyond and saying.
Oh, I'm not hitting hard enough then, okay.
No, because see, the point the word that you probably are reluctant to use or reticent to use is the word wicked.
And I'm going to use it in a moment, and and and you'll see why I'm saying this.
But the point is, Rush, you back during the campaign, and I warned you back in January of this year that when we were talking about Huckleby, I said Huckabee, they're going to go in bloody, bruised, and hobbled and beaten because of the way conservatives were just really, we were just so hard on our own.
And Ro Reagan said the eleventh commandment is don't criticize the Republican for certain reasons.
Now there's some worthy criticisms to be made.
Eric on a second.
All right.
Reagan did have the 11th Commandment, but during the 76 primaries and the 80 primaries, Reagan was destroying other Republicans so he could get the nomination.
Well, we we have And we're talking about a primary here.
Well, listen.
I stayed out of the primary.
Well, I stayed out of it.
Many people think that's what blew it.
Rush, you're gonna have your three hours, man.
I'm trying to tell you this is I gotta say as much as I can, it's quick because I won't you won't let me say too much.
Eric, get to it.
What what what what am I responsible?
What did I do wrong?
What I'm trying what I'm trying to say is look, we had silly people like Ann Colter, foolish people who are out there saying, I'm not voting for uh uh uh McCain, I'm gonna vote for Hillary.
We have foolish people like James Dobson saying, I will never vote for McCain and wound up eating his word.
We had people down here in Charlotte, we had a Jeff Katz here, just really everybody was just so hard on McCain, and he was so bloodied and brutalized in it, and what happened is we suppressed, we well, we depressed our own turnout.
And so when you talk about yesterday wait a minute.
Now, Rush, come on, please.
No, I'm I respectfully disagree with you on this.
I think please those of us who were sounding those warning bells have been vindicated as right all those many months ago.
We got exactly what we feared we were gonna get.
We got the exact campaign, we got the exact result, we got everything we knew would happen should the party nominate Senator McCain.
Well, Rush, the problem that I'm trying to say is Anne was silly.
I and was silly.
Hold on, look at look at there were a lot of people talking about voting for Hillary.
Hold on.
There were a lot of people.
The point is nobody caused Republicans to stay home except the Republican Party.
Rush, that is true in part.
You're leaving out a crucial component here.
We had people calling in saying, I'm trying you know, they were listening to the host like Ann Coulter and you and Dobson saying, I'm not trusting McCain, I'm not gonna vote for him.
And we wound up suppressing our own turnout rush.
Think about it, you may not want to admit disagree with you on this.
Well, of course you will, but you know, i it w uh are you are you capable of assigning any responsibility for what happened here to the candidate?
What responsibility does the candidate have in his own victory or defeat?
Well, you speak too fast.
I would have ultimately gotten to that rush, but you wouldn't let me get to that point.
You cut me off too quick.
You got to listen sometime.
Well, you've got only take so much.
I mean, I'm glad to listen, but not when you're wrong.
And I was I owe a duty to the audience here.
Oh, look, it's just too bad.
Out of time.
John Eric, I'm sorry.
It's great to have you on the panel.
Rush Limboa.
Talent on loan from God.
Open line Friday on Wednesday.
All right.
Well, back to the bailout news here and uh some of the uh interesting stories related to it.
CNBC today had a video clip uh a segment, I should say, that uh that that deals with the auto industry since they're being talked about uh in terms of being bailed out.
And the um it it there's a chart, they had a chart, and if I got hold of it here, and when you look at the chart, it's no wonder that General Motors and Ford and Chrysler are having financial problems.
Their costs are fifty-three percent higher than Toyota and 132 percent higher than other manufacturing.
The cost per hour to manufacture at the big three auto companies is $73.20.
Uh and that's that's uh total compensation per hour, selected workers 2007-2008.
At Toyota, it's $48 an hour.
Management and professional $47.57.
Goods producing, $3,159, all workers, $28.48 an hour, average out all workers, and it cost the big three auto companies $73.20 an hour.
And they're pay a lot of this is they're paying people that no longer work for them.
And these pensions in the union did this if we bail out the auto companies.
Let me tell you, let me ask you a quick question.
If today all three auto companies received what they're talking about, $25 or $50 billion of divvy up.
What change do you expect from these companies?
What change would you expect?
Well, there wouldn't be any right off the bat.
I mean, they've already got $25 billion has been pledged for retooling and rebuilding, but do you realize what's happened?
The federal government and these executives, they are so strained with these union contracts.
This is not a bailout of big three.
This is a bailout of the United Auto Workers Union.
That's what this is all about, folks.
It is a bailout of the United Auto Workers Union.
It is a Democrat SOP to Jennifer Granholm to make sure that her reputation doesn't get solid because she's already running a state in recession that she helped put there along with her party.
This is a bailout of the United Auto Workers and the Union contracts and everything else that uh that goes hand in hand here.
And the executives are in such trouble at these companies, they are they are promising everything.
Well, of course, we'll do all we'll make all kinds of cars to get better mileage, and we will limit executive pay, and we will end golden parachutes.
Liberal Democrats are infecting and perverting elements of the private sector and the free market private sector that I never dreamed would ever happen in my lifetime.
We're bailing out unions, is what we're doing, and we're gonna be bailing out credit card companies and whoever else you wouldn't believe a number of lobbyists that are signing up to get their hands on the bailout money.
Lobbyists for various companies are lobbying the Treasury Department for their companies to get a percentage of the bailout.
Why why should it be any different with a bailout than it is any other pile of money?
Congress sits there with a budget every year of three trillion bucks, lobbyists and everybody else, and this is not against lobbyists, by the way.
You're never gonna get rid of them.
I don't care what any politician says, you're never gonna get rid of them.
They do what they do.
Most of them actually perform a service.
At any rate, I don't want to get off on a tangent of that.
But why did everybody expect purity and comedy and seriousness when you throw a pile of $700 billion at people?
I mean, every every year they get three trillion, and everybody starts divvying that up.
Who's going to get that portion?
Lobbyists start lobbying Congress.
Ah, this group needs some money.
Now we need to build a bridge out there.
Congressmen senators do their own lobbying.
So now we got the $700 billion bailout bill, which could not wait.
It was a crisis.
It was deathly.
This country's future, its very existence, rested on this bailout being passed in 24 hours.
And then as weeks went by, before it was passed or a couple weeks, everything kept chugging along.
People kept getting up going to work before stores had food in them, gas stations had gasoline.
But it was a crisis.
And we had to deal with this.
We had to deal with it immediately.
Otherwise a country would simply implode and cease to exist, but the country kept on working.
So now the original purpose of the bailout has been broomed.
The Treasury Secretary says, nah, we're not going to buy up that bad paper.
He begged banks to start lending today.
And then he apologized to the world.
For the United States failing to meet its responsibilities and obligations and having contributed to the global financial collapse.
Well, all that means is that all these little tin horn dictators and every other hapless fool leader around the world is, okay, you take the blame for it.
Fine.
Well, we've been irreparably harmed by your immoral behavior as a superpower.
Where is my damage payment?
So we're going to have the world coming at us with our hands out.
They already come at us now, due to United Nations and stealth ways.
Now they're just going to be open about it.
Well, the Treasury Secretary apologized.
He said the United States is responsible for all this hell that's going on globally in the financial markets and other areas of economics.
He said the United States to blame for it.
So in the meantime, we're going to bail out the United Auto workers.
And we're going to bail out credit card companies.
And in the process, the federal government, run by Democrats, are going to have their fingers in every business they can get it in, and they're not going to ever let go of it.
And so they couldn't, they couldn't actually muster the votes for limits on executive pay.
And some of you, by the way, may say, well, Rush, that's pretty good.
I think that'll that'll that might actually help employees like management a little bit.
You know, there's a lot of resentment out there, Rush, because these executives pay themselves all this money, and the workers don't get very much at all.
Fine.
Okay, so you're going to limit executive pay.
They will find a way.
Last time they tried this, it led to stock options.
They'll find ways around this.
There are always ways around this.
But even if there aren't any ways around, even if executive pay is limited, ain't going to make the workers any happier.
Their paychecks aren't going to get any bigger.
That's not the result.
We're not going to have a trickle down, if you will.
So all these years we wanted to limit executive pay.
Now executives are going right along with it.
And Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank needs to be good at designing cars.
Newspapers in trouble, too.
Everybody, I mean.
Time magazine asking for volunteers to leave, take a buyout.
Newspapers and financial distress.
Circulation's down.
Advertising's down.
Reputation is down.
Well, what do they do in the newspaper business and news business?
They cut corners.
One of the things they do in the news business is rerun old news.
Look at all the old news that's being rerun.
Camelot.
Camelot is back.
Do you realize that Camelot did not become Camelot until after the Kennedy assassination?
Ted Sorensen and uh who was that little guy?
Arthur Schles, Jr.
Ceded that word.
Jackie Kennedy actually was the one that Jackie Kennedy was responsible for getting that word seated into the media to establish this great image and legacy for her family and her husband, and that's how Camelot was born.
Nobody called it Camelot while Kennedy was serving.
But now we got Camelot back, and Obama's not even there.
Oh, by the way, from Newsweek, Obama will not meet everybody's expectations.
Well, whose expectations in Newsweek trying to manage here?
The end of the article, interesting quote.
To be sure, America's friends will be grateful for the change in tone Obama is likely to bring.
They'll be delighted if he closes Guantanamo Bay as promised.
And even if he disappoints allies early on, now listen to this, folks.
Even if he disappoints allies early on, there will be plenty of time to repair things later in his term.
One reason for hope.
Kennedy and Clinton went on to become immensely popular around the world.
Now, what's going on here?
These guys at Newsweek are setting the stage for failure.
But there'll be plenty of time for Obama to recover.
Because he's been there for four years.
One reason for hope.
Hope for what?
What are we hoping for here in Newsweek?
You got the guy failing miserable, but now you hope that somehow his reputation can be resuscitated?
The hell is this?
Why does this matter to anybody?
Kennedy and Clinton went on to become immensely popular around the world.
Why are why the liberals so insecure that they have to be liked by people who will rob, cheat, and steal them blind, who will burn their crops, salt their fields, kill their livestock, poison their wells, kidnap their women, and then slit their throats the first chance they get.
This is the approval, the kind of approval the Democrats seek, the type of people.
Why?
What does it matter?
What the reprobates of the world think of liberals?
What does it matter?
So the whole focus here in the Newsweek story is he's gonna screw up, he's gonna screw up, but there'll be plenty of time to repair things.
And one reason for hope.
Kennedy and Clinton went on to become immensely popular around the uh the world.
Do I need to correct something?
It was the Theodore White.
And I said Sorensen, right?
Theodore White introduced Camelot after interviewing Jackie Kennedy.
So the whole the story is true.
They manufactured this whole image Camelot after the uh JFK assassination.
It was not called Camelot while they were ruling.
But have you seen the number of stories where Obama will rule?
They're all over the place out there.
We'll be back after this.
Okay, headphone time, Don, going back to the phones here.
800-282-2882.
This is James in Cincinnati.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Uh Megatidos Rush.
Yes.
I've got a very simple comment here.
I I think that there's a very simple solution to uh to the conservative crisis and the financial crisis in the country.
Uh goes like this.
Get out your electoral map.
You flood the red states with conservatives, and you begin to actively promote the conservative way of life that half of Americans in this country want to live.
You know, family, free enterprise, freedom, and faith.
It would make the governors happy, it would make the business leaders happy.
When you say you flood these states, what do you mean if people move there?
Oh, sure, yeah, just like you do in California.
The liberals uh flooded California and San Francisco, and they create a little sort of uh liberal oasis.
Uh there's no reason that conservatives can't do the same thing, and uh, you know, it'd make everybody happy.
Business leaders, evangelicals and Catholics, all people of goodwill, happy.
Well, you know, it's interesting.
I saw today the uh the final uh um county map, red state, blue state map by county.
And if you just landed here from Mars and you looked at that map, you would swear the Republicans won this thing in a landslide.
If you didn't know where the population centers are, I guarantee you by county and by square mileage, we skunked them.
But then you look at the coasts, you look all up and down the left coast, you look all up and down the East Coast until you get past New Jersey and Maryland, D.C., even Virginia for three counties in Virginia won it for Obama.
You have to, those three counties are microscopic on the map.
But it's just it's just amazing that population centers feature big cities, of course, and people who live in big cities are largely Democrat.
Uh And I don't know, for example, how many conservatives are going to want to move to a place like California.
Look at the tax rate in California.
How many conservatives wanted for Dorothy to live there want to move to New York?
I mean, you need you need a you need a great job, a lot of money to live there.
Besides, you know, conservatives don't balkanize themselves.
They live, they live their lives, they want to be happy and so forth.
Liberals are the ones that organize in little communes and cliques and cities and so forth, and only want to hang around with each other and themselves.
We're not, I don't, we're we're we're not that way in uh in many regards.
Some parts of uh country that that happens to be the case, but this map is just stunning.
And I'll tell you something else that's stunning.
If you look at the counties in what I call the Hispanic border states, you go up the uh the border of Mexico with Texas, and you look at those the only blue counties in Texas, other than one outside of Houston, are right on the border with Mexico.
And then you go into New Mexico, same thing, going to Arizona, pretty close, same thing.
You go to California, you can see.
You can see the Hispanic vote.
You can see where it's going.
It's all blue.
Well, not all, but I mean it's it's just amazing.
And the Republicans think they're going to crack that by going out acting like Democrats just promising a better list of goodies.
It ain't gonna happen out there.
It's not the way to do it.
The way to do it, in fact, we gotta let me put this audio sound but for you right now.
This is interesting.
We've got number 10 here, Andrea Mitchell on Nightly News last night.
She had a report about Chris Shays, and I, all over the news yesterday and last night, also in this report.
Is the party over?
As Republican governors prepare to meet in Miami to debate what went wrong and who will lead them out of the wilderness.
Republicans have to resolve their identity crisis.
Do they want to follow moderates like Chris Shays, who lost his Connecticut house seat?
You've got to reach out to African Americans, you've got to reach out to Latinos, and you gotta be an inclusive party.
And we aren't right now, but we will be.
Or should the party align itself with traditional conservatives.
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.
That was from yesterday, and I stand by that.
We start going after groups of Americans, the middle class Walmart people, and then the Kmart people, and let's go get the uh the uh let's go get the Starbucks crowd, and let's go get this group, and let's go get the Hispanics loser.
We just did that.
We just did it.
The architects of this should be disqualified from running another Republican campaign.
Set of core principles that improve life for every human being in the country, and you will attract them.
I don't care where they were born, I don't care what their skin color is, what their gender is, what their sexual orientation, or none of that.
You'll attack enough, attract enough of them to win.
By the way, folks, I I want to share something with you.
I am uh I'm getting it this one of the sheer pleasures of this job is hearing from people who have patronized a sponsor and have loved the product.
It happens, uh it's happening a lot with the Renai Tankless Water Heater.
It is happening with Carbonite, the computer software backup.
I can't tell you just yesterday, last night, I got two emails from people who finally tried a Renae Tankless Water heater.
So it was the toughest thing because it's so unconventional.
Everybody's so used to having the tank, big tank.
The problem is the tank heats up all the water you'll never use.
It's a waste of money.
It's like a Model A. This new technology is phenomenal.
And these people finally, they both of them put it in and they're just stunned.
The hot water never stops.
No matter what number of appliances in the house using hot water being used.
It's just they just and that that just warms my heart when people actually go out and try this thing because that the best thing you can say about any product is it works.
So the Renae Tankless Water Heater is pleasing a lot of people.
Foreverhotwater.com, by the way, is the website to see how it works and see maybe if it's for you.
Foreverhotwater.com.
They've got a hub in Delaware.
They got a hub there.
If you're talking about Wilmington, Ohio and DHL.
By the way, folks, uh further evidence when we come back here.
Do not doubt me.
