It happened again.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 200 points.
Bernanke.
Paulson go up there and testify.
We're down 70 points.
They destroyed another rally.
The Wizards of Smart that are gonna save the United States.
That are gonna save us with their bailout.
Greetings, my friends, welcome back, L. Rushball, the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
We have uh audio soundbites coming up of some of the stuff that happened this morning as the Wizards of SMART all gathered to uh examine what's gone wrong here with the bailout.
How come it hasn't worked?
How come it didn't stave off the uh the emergency?
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Let me amend one thing here.
Mr. Snerdley, who's not not the boss today, by the way, uh, told me in no uncertain terms that he thinks I've overstepped here in saying that criticism of Obama as the criticism of Clinton didn't work.
And I simply mean by that that both guys won despite voluminous information that should have disqualified both of them from ever being president.
The criticism didn't work in defeating them.
Now, that is not to say it didn't work.
After all, how many people voted for McCrazy?
58, uh McCain, 50 uh 58 million people, or what was it, 40?
How many it was a seven million points from the point of fifty a lot of people voted for McCain.
A lot of people voted against Obama.
See, obviously the criticism worked for some, and look at I'm not a dunce here, folks.
I know it really boils down to this.
Our standard bearer not only did not have any charisma, our standard bearer didn't have a campaign, did not have a core theme, did not have a core set of principles and beliefs, is articulating, he's running as a war hero with a heroic story.
And didn't work.
Look at all the war heroes that can't win elections anymore.
We have we have we have George Bush, well, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go through this list here.
Bush 41, great war hero, 1942, 44, what it world war two, shot down over the Pacific, got back on this on the uh on the aircraft carrier, lost to a draft dodger, lost to a guy who wrote in his past he loathed the military.
Now the draft dodger only got 43% because uh Ross Perot was in there.
Ross Perot himself in his own way is a military hero, given his support.
So maybe if Perot's not there and George Bush 41 gets those votes, but some polling data indicated he wouldn't.
That Clinton would have still won even were Perot not there.
We go 4-96, another war hero, Bob Dole, Skunk City.
We get to 200, and we don't really have a war hero.
They tried to make Gore a war hero by saying he was a journalist in Vietnam.
2004.
Vietnam era war hero, the haughty John Kerry, versus a guy that the Democrats tried to claim lied about going to the National Guard duty and serving.
Um yeah, McGovern, McGovern's a war hero.
He got blown out in 1970.
He was a war hero.
He was a pilot in uh in World War II.
Now we come forth 2000 again.
We had a war hero lose to the most unknown, the most inexperienced, the most the most unqualified, and perhaps the most opposed to America as it was founded, Democrat candidate ever.
So the war heroes, I mean, it's it's it's not it it's God love them, and God bless them, but they're not the ticket to victory anymore.
Now, why is that?
Very simple, and I warned you people of this not long after I began to serve this nation from behind the golden EIB microphone.
We are well, Vietnam ends wins, 72, 75, 30 years.
That's a generation.
In 30 years, we've Had a whole generation born that has no direct experience or knowledge with an America victorious in war other than the four-day Gulf War.
And that was over so fast it looked like a video game to a lot of people.
So we have a lot of people who have no knowledge of an America victorious.
In fact, our war heroes in 19 or 2004, 2008 came out of the most hated war in our adult lives, that's Vietnam.
A war hero for Vietnam, yep, yep, whoop whoop.
We had a war hero run in 2008 from the most hated war in American history.
After six years of the American people being told how lousy and rotten the U.S. military is.
Unfairly, of course, it was it was it was unseemly what was done, but we had the Democrat Party and the drive-by media praying for defeat.
The military is immoral, the military is unjust.
So we ran a war hero against all of that.
But it was not the war hero stuff that doomed McCain.
It was that what's he gonna do?
What's he stand for?
Earmarks and he's a maverick.
Okay, next.
Certainly no charisma.
But also about this criticism business, McCain wouldn't criticize Obama.
So we really don't know if criticism would have worked.
Now, Dole did try to criticize Clinton in 1996.
He said, where's the outrage over all this?
Where is the outrage over the way this country's being run and who this guy is?
He's a moral reprobate.
Where's the outrage?
And of course, Clinton's answer was with a smile on his face, no attack ever fed a hungry child.
And people just marveled.
And uh, well, uh Dole said he wanted to take us back to yesterday.
Some Americans do want to go back to yes, I guarantee them to you that they'd love to go back to August.
Some Americans, yesterday would be just fine to a lot of Americans, Mr. Snerdley.
Last month would be fine, two months ago would be fine.
Can we do this over?
Um but regardless, I'm not saying that the criticism should be taken off the table.
I'm saying it should be redirected.
The the especially now, when it's a waste of time to criticize Obama.
He hasn't done anything.
Wait till he does something.
He's he stands for something.
It's gonna be very easy to explain it once he starts doing it.
And therein lies the uh the opportunity.
I I know full well that because McCain was not criticizing Obama, that most Republican voters in this country were chomping at the bit for somebody to get the truth out there, because the media wasn't.
So it would not be totally accurate to say it didn't work.
It did generate a significant number of votes for old Yosemite Sam.
But since he wasn't joining in it, Yosemite Sam couldn't get the dynamite to go off.
You know, and you know, you remember what Yosemite Sam looked like when a dynamite failed to go off.
He just prancing around there, not having a clue what happened here.
Doesn't care if he was trying to kill a roadrunner, if he was trying to kill Wiley Coyote, whoever, Elmer Fudd, the dynamite never went off for your old Yosemite Sam.
And it was um it was the same thing in in this campaign.
Well, I'll give you another example.
The economic crisis, the bailout.
Oh, that we're we gotta this is horrible.
It says, Rod, we're never gonna be a country in two days if we don't do something about it.
McCain says, I am shish-spending my campaign.
I'm going to Washington deal with it.
And Obama said, no, I can multitask.
They need me, I'm here on the phone.
We laughed at it at the time, but it turned out there's Mr. Cool.
Mr. Cold, actually, but there's Mr. Cool versus, you know, Mr. Grandstander.
I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna fix this.
And then the meeting happened in the cabinet room of the White House, and we heard that McCain didn't say diddly squad till the end of it.
And the word that came out of there was that Obama ran the meeting.
It also came out at a meeting fell apart with Obama running it, but we didn't hear about that enough.
We just heard that Obama ran the meeting.
You know, you it it's you know, everybody can look at these things in hindsight and find out what you did wrong and what you'd like to do over again.
I just, I'm just telling you, I think going after all this personal stuff, personally criticizing Obama, even if it's policy oriented to just wait for his inauguration for something to uh actually happen, and the way to go about it then will be to go after Obama ism, collectivism.
Uh, because you know you don't hear him personally, even he's gonna have a honeymoon with his supporters.
You're gonna have he's gonna have a while you're not gonna persuade anybody that's for the guy to change their mind right off the bat.
Just isn't gonna happen.
But you can frighten them about what he's gonna do.
You can frighten them about what's going to happen because he's president or because the Democrats are running a show or what have you.
Just seems to me to be a better bet.
Uh how about this headline?
This is from uh the Associated Press Obama, in fact.
Wisconsin woman pleads no contest in toilet corpse case.
You don't get to see that headline every day, folks.
A woman accused of helping her religious leader hide a decaying corpse on her toilet so they could continue collecting her social security, was convicted of a misdemeanor in a deal for her to testify against the religious leader.
A prosecutor said yesterday, Tammy Lewis, 36 of Wisconsin, pleaded no contest to obstructing a police officer.
She was fined $350 in the plea bargain that defers prosecution of more serious charges.
Juneau County Circuit uh Judge John Romer ordered her to pay the fine within 60 days or serve a seven-day sentence.
Lewis and Alan Bushy, 58, were accused of hiding 90-year-old Magdalene Alvina Middlesworth's body on a toilet in Lewis Bushy's home after she died in March.
Investigators said that Middlesworth and Lewis were members of a religious sect, that Bushy led, it was called the Order of the Divine Will.
Bushy told Lewis that God would revive Middlesworth, who friends and family said was from Washington State.
Lewis Bushy and May initially told a sheriff's deputy that Middlesworth was on vacation.
The deputy later discovered the elderly woman's rotting body in Lewis Bushy's stench-filled home.
She also told authorities that she was Middleworth's power of attorney.
The older woman used all of her money to support their six-member religious cult.
Investigators believe that Middlesworth's Social Security and annuity checks, totaling nearly three grand, were deposited after her death into a bank account that she shared with Lewis Bushy.
Okay, Don, you said you wanted to hear something funny.
There.
And I mentioned this at the uh at the uh at the top of the hour.
This headline is just these stories.
I in fact, you know what?
I can't believe that these stories are actually happening now that the Messiah has been uh elected.
This is from the Associated Press.
Some 691,000 children went hungry in America, some time in 2007, while close to one in eight Americans struggled to feed themselves adequately even before this year's sharp economic downturn.
This according to the agriculture department.
Almost a third, 1990 or 11.9 million adults and children went hungry at some point.
That figure has grown by more than 40% since 2000.
The government says these people suffered a substantial disruption in their food supply at some point, classifies them as having very low food security.
A new term from the agriculture department, very low food security.
Until the government rewrote its definitions two years ago, this group was described as having food insecurity with hunger.
That's what it was called.
Food insecurity with hunger is now led uh become very low food security.
And then the paragraph that follows says this the findings should increase pressure to meet President Obama's campaign pledge to expect Jesus who believed this.
Pardon me for saying Jesus.
I'm just sorry.
So the AP does a story on all these hungry kids out there, and then they say this should increase pressure to meet Obama's campaign promise to expand food aid and end childhood hunger by 2015, said James Weil, president of the Food Research and Action Center.
So that's why they're doing the story to help Obama keep a promise.
Now, folks, this is the United States of America.
And I travel to a lot of it over many, many years.
And I have seen, as what everybody reports, the obesity problem that exists in this country, I see it everywhere.
We heard news last week that the number of people, number of families, have grown into an income level of a hundred thousand dollars a year or more is profoundly high.
A great number of people have moved, even the lower income levels moved up.
There's something terribly wrong every time there's a story about hunger in America.
And that very low food security.
Very little we have an official government term called very low food security.
If you go out and you ask the parents of kids that are 14 or younger, ask if their kids are hungry.
Yeah, they're always hungry.
They always want to eat.
They always want Snickers.
They always want a Coke.
They always want a pizza.
They always want a Kentucky Fried Chicken pizza.
They always want to eat.
It's not that they're hungry.
They just want food.
Kids might even tell anybody who asks that they are insecure about food because they can't get it on their own.
They have to wait till mommy and daddy go buy it.
Or if they're typical spoiled American kids, they have to wait till mommy and daddy fix it.
Now, when you offer these same little kids an apple or yogurt instead of cookies and candy, I'll bet you they're not so hungry.
You offer them McDonald's.
I know that McDonald's is having no trouble in these hard economic times.
This is just another one of these endless stories to make this country look like a dismal failure.
I'm here to tell you the idea of perpetual hunger and starvation in this country is a myth.
It is absurd, it cannot be.
Just to check the email, rush, rush, rush.
It sounds like you think the bailout isn't gonna work.
I'm sorry for being so um uh unclear about this.
It's not that I don't think it's gonna work, it's that I know it's not gonna work.
And the reason it's not gonna work is because Bernanke and Paulson are fighting the market, and the market will always win.
The market is the market, and it will always win, and they can't manipulate folks.
If anybody had way had figured out a way to manipulate the market, do you realize there would never be anything other than 100% growth and prosperity for one and all at all times.
If anybody were able to manipulate the market to make that happen, he would be president for life.
And then they would clone him.
And his cloned offspring would be presidents for life.
No government has ever been able to guarantee prosperity, no government has ever been able to fix the market.
The market takes care of itself, and until all of this pressure, all of all of this desire to manipulate, and there's more going on here.
This is not just altruistic.
This is not these congressional leaders and financial leaders trying to save the country.
This is a bunch of people trying to use the government's pile of money to save their own bacon.
It's just it's no more complicated than that.
But when they do that, when they when they use uh other people's money to shore up their own businesses, then you see what falls out of that.
Utter total chaos.
There is no guarantee that any entity, be it a human being, a small business, a large business, or an animal, there is no guarantee that that entity always enjoys prosperity, never encounters problems, and doesn't fail.
And never gets Fired or never goes broke.
Those things don't exist because every entity sees itself having all kinds of problems, challenges to overcome, and some of them are worse than others.
Some fail, some get killed, some die off for causes, natural what have you.
And this effort to manipulate all this is just gonna make it worse.
And the people doing the manipulating know it's gonna make it worse, but to them there's something more important in the short run and it's saving themselves.
Members of Congress do it every day, save themselves from decisions they've made.
Greatest example is this.
Most recent great example is this.
They write a piece of legislation, $700 billion to save America's economy.
They put one guy in charge of it, the Treasury Secretary.
They give him dictatorial control, total authority, no oversight, and today they're doing hearings, wondering where the oversight is and why this guy's doing what he's doing.
He doesn't even owe them an answer.
In truth, he was given total authority to do what he wants.
How about these Somali pirates?
How about this?
I mean, Somali pirates, are those of you in Rio Linda, this Somalian pilots.
This pirates is a third world country.
And these guys are hijacking giant oil tankers owned by Saudi Arabia.
And they're holding crews hostage, the second one today.
One of their tankers that they, these Somali pirates, have hijacked, holds a hundred million dollars worth of oil.
And of course the Saudis are out there.
What are they gonna do about it?
They don't have a military.
You think Iran's gonna help them out?
Iran's not gonna help them out.
Who's gonna go to the rescue of Saudi Arabia here?
Where I know the German na No, we don't let them have a Navy or an Airport.
Um the French Sarkozy surely will.
May NATO will snow NATO didn't even get involved when uh Russia invaded uh Georgia, South Ossetia.
Uh let's see, uh Belize is a Caribbean superpower, uh believes maybe they could.
Oh China!
China will go teach.
No, they benefit from this, sorry.
Um who's gonna stop these little Somali warlords?
It's not gonna be us folks.
I mean, we uh we're we're we're we might convene and have a meeting with them and try to find out what their grievance is, but I don't think that we're gonna deploy uh military uh might here to try to get back that oil tanker.
Uh let's see, who could do this?
UK.
Well, they wouldn't do it without our permission, and I don't I don't think that we're gonna grant them permission.
Uh let's see, who else?
Who am I leaving out?
Um Greece.
They don't have a Navy.
Uh um Italy.
They don't have Spain.
That's right.
Spain.
No, that United Nations.
Well, no, because the United N the United Nations thinks that the Somalis probably deserve, they've been so mistreated, they've had so many starving people.
The world doesn't care about the Somalis.
If the Somalis have to hijack an oil tanker to feed themselves, the UN probably won't understand that.
Uh see.
The rapists of Congo.
UN peacekeeper.
Well, but no, you can't send a peacekeeper force in a military act.
You can send them in to keep the peace, or they can rape innocent women and children when they're keeping a peace, but you can't send them in there in the military, for the blue helmets don't go where there's action.
Um the Saudis ask Israel, ha!
I don't think that's uh gonna be the case.
I I don't think so.
I don't think they'll ask Israel.
Uh of course the Israelis, if they got ticked off enough about it, wouldn't wait to be asked.
They just go take the oil tanker back.
Um see, um I don't know who's gonna do anything about this.
I really Hugo Chavez has not completed his deals with the Russians to buy a navy.
Uh Castro, I don't think has the means yet, because they haven't solidified their Deal with uh with the KGB.
So I I don't I don't know what's left other than to uh convene a meeting and talk.
Find out, you know, what the grievance is, and maybe they'll give the ship back.
Yeah, maybe they'll give the uh maybe give the oil back.
I don't know, just it's very puzzling to me because I was under the impression that uh the this kind of anger and animosity had vanished since the United States presidential election.
I I thought the world was a much happier place, uh, that the world was a much uh uh more relaxed place.
Uh America's certainly more loved and and respected, and let's face it, some of this oil was no doubt headed our way.
I mean, this is you could say this is our oil.
I'm sure that we're buying some of that oil, or we have already bought it.
Um I don't know.
I I think and plus, you know, you'd have to say this is terrorism.
We call it piracy, but it's uh it's it's terrorism.
And I just I I just I guess I'm laboring under a misconception, but I really thought that after this presidential election that there was going to be so little need for anger and uh and animosity and uh acts like this.
So keep a sharp eye, find out.
I mean, I saw a picture of the hijack crew.
They look like they're being tortured out there.
So I know that that picture was not taken at Guantanamo Bay.
So wherever they're being hit.
I don't think they're gonna try to sell the oil.
I think it's a ransom for something.
I don't think the Somali pirates are trying to get any oil business here.
I think they're sending a a uh a different different kind of message.
We don't know.
I'm sure they have.
We just got to take some time to understand this.
I'm sure they have a legitimate grievance and a thoroughly understandable reason why uh they're hijacking oil tankers.
You know, we to make money, of course.
But I mean, that there could be an altruistic purpose behind their hijacking.
We'll just we we got we no, no, no, no, no.
We we've got we got people in charge now that can get to the bottom of this and and and find the answers, and we'll be fine.
Uh there have to be, moving on to something, there have to be folks some hurt feelings out there among the left-wing kook base.
In fact, I know that because it's Lieberman thing, there already are the left kooks, they are fried.
They wanted Lieberman strung up and flogged.
After all the public threats, Harry Reid walked out to the cameras.
He said nothing was going to be done to Lieberman for leaving the reservation and backing McCray uh McCain and Lieberman still chairman of Homeland Security, no punishment, no nothing.
And it was Obama who interceded to guarantee it, and on the you know, various websites out there, the left I've checked it out.
They are fit to be tied.
They're saying we count for nothing.
We mean nothing.
Democracy's a nice word, but it should never threaten the entitlement of the most most exclusive club in the world.
No matter what Lieberman does, the people who are protecting him hate you much more than they hate him.
These are libs talking to each other.
Now, this decision to hold on to Lieberman and not punish him came the same day.
More bad news for Kooks hit the drive-by media.
Two advisors for the Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, the most merciful, told the press there is little, if any chance the Justice Department will bring criminal charges against uh Bush officials who authorized or engaged in harsh interrogations of the terrorists at Club Gitmo.
They were going to be they were set on war crimes.
They wanted trials.
They wanted Bush and Cheney and everybody in charge at torture strung up, and that's not going to happen.
Adding more insult to this injury, another favorite of the Kook left base, Senator Pat Leakey Leahy, was asked during an interview on Vermont Public Radio if Bush administration officials would be brought up on war crimes charges.
Leakey said in the United States, no.
Now that implies that maybe some other country will do it.
So these kooks, do you understand what they were hoping.
They wanted impeachment.
They wanted war tribes, war crimes trials.
They wanted Nuremberg type things.
They wanted Lieberman strung up and flogged.
None of it's gonna happen.
And they're the ones feeling sold out.
They're the ones thinking, my God, we bought a bill of goods.
We have been used.
We have been, he's not who he says he was, and this is just the first wave of it.
There will be much more of this as we move from the kooks to what we think we call the left wing mainstream, if you can say there's such a thing, they too will have their eyes opened in the coming months.
Michael Ratner is a professor at Columbia Scruel of Law.
He's president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and he's also mad.
He wants the Bushies to pay for protecting us from terrorists.
Here was his quote.
I don't see how.
We regain our moral stature by allowing those who were intimately involved in the torture programs to simply walk off the stage and lead lives where they are not held accountable.
So now even a Columbia law school professor has been left out in the cold.
Let me tell you, those of you at the Daily Coast and wherever else are you all upset about Lieberman, uh those of you at the Democrat Underground or wherever else uh upset that uh Justice Department's not going to bring criminal charges over anybody anybody at Club Gitmo.
Uh those of you uh who lurk at various like the Huffington Post, if you're all upset that the Bush administration will not be brought up on war crimes charges, relax.
Don't give up hope for change.
Little program note, ladies and gentlemen, won't affect anything, but we're going to New York.
And we'll be doing the program from New York uh Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Is it tomorrow, HR?
We're doing a thing with Barbara Walters.
Uh tomorrow's yes, that's tomorrow.
Uh Barbara Walters has uh named me unbeknownst to me, uh a clear surprise, one of the ten most fascinating people of 2008.
I know I know I'm told I'm fascinating, but uh but but one of top ten on the on I mean I've been I've been one of her top ten one time, like back in uh 1990 or 92.
I forget exactly when it might have been 93 or I forget exactly when it was.
But that were taping a short little uh uh interview tomorrow afternoon after the program at a super secret uh location, and I think it airs December the second or the fourth.
I'm not sure it's the fourth right now, but it could change.
Depends.
Well, it's uh it's scheduled for December 4th.
And hey, hey, Charlie, would you make sure with Cookie that she has plenty of Zycam in my desk waiting for me?
I for I have some in the briefcase, but I just want to make sure there's a stash.
Well, it's it's cold up there.
We've got a cold front coming through.
We got two co you know what we've got cold fronts going through down here earlier than I ever remember them.
I've probably 65.
And it's barely gonna bit 65 or 66 tomorrow.
It's gonna be down to 50 some places inland and it's gonna be in the wind chills in the 30s, but the point is that uh I've never seen cold fronts go through here this soon.
Normally Christmas is when you get the first one.
So, and I'm not taking a chance on getting a cold.
Uh I can't.
I just hate them and I despise them.
I'm they're they're nuisances, but they're worse than the flu to me.
I just can't handle them.
And this Zycamp stuff either knocks it out or shortens the durations fast as anything that you can get.
Simple to use, Z-I-C-A-M.
And it works.
That's the best thing you can say about it.
Just cut and swabs, put them in your each nostril every four hours, and pinch the nostril for like five seconds after you do it, and don't blow your nose for 30 seconds or so, and you gotta catch it fast.
You have to do it right when you think you're getting the cold.
Here's Dave in Western Pennsylvania.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Well, Rush, thanks for taking my call, ditto.
Thank you.
Uh Rush, I would like to know who Obama is beholding to or who he owes all this to, because Uh in in any circumstance like this, I mean there's there's got to be somebody that's gotta have a payback on this.
Yeah, I have thought for the longest time that somebody chose Obama uh to run and was a secret uh sponsor, uh, if you will.
Right.
Uh I have no idea.
I would financially probably George Soros.
I think Soros is involved in it.
I can't prove it, though, so I really don't I don't like saying it.
All I know is Soros has raised all kinds of money, and if you look at his transition team, uh Podesta and Ram Emanuel and a bunch of people, I mean, this is these are seasoned Clinton administration types who have a little more experience under the belts and when they were working with uh with the boy president Bill Clinton.
So I but but you know, somebody somebody had to say, Brock, you're the guy that can do us this year because you nobody's gonna criticize you because you're black, nobody'll have the guts to use that.
You're articulate, we can put good words in your mouth.
Uh Republicans, they don't have anybody worth talking about running.
I'm I but I don't know who it is.
I just I'm under the impression somebody, you have to have, when you have no experience, when you have 143 days in the Senate.
Uh there there has to be somebody behind the scenes doing this, and it might be a collection of people.
You know, it might be the mentors that he's had all these years.
I I don't know what political experience they have in terms of advising him, but I understand what you're talking about.
You just don't see people singularly coming.
But but as the uh Newsweek reporters are talking about, he does do everything singularly.
We do know that Axelrod wrote a lot of those uh messianic speeches and so forth.
Joe and Reno, nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Rush, mega University of Nevada Ditto's Yes, sir.
Um I want to know what's your take on Obama when he in in the 60 Minutes interview said that he would use his weight to throw around to implement a college football playoff.
Uh yeah, he wants a playoff system for the Bull Championship series, right?
Well, we all do, but not like that.
Uh you mean you don't want the president doing it.
Well, I mean, I don't want to throw weight around anymore.
When I heard that, you know, my my action my reaction was when I heard Obama say that he is gonna do it.
My guess is that a majority of people who voted for him want him to do that and much more.
They want him to say, here's your health care fixed.
And here's your gasoline price at two bucks a galler, uh barrel, a gallon.
And by the way, here's uh your mortgage is paid off.
And by the way, we're gonna have a playoff system.
I'm just gonna decide this is gonna be done.
We're gonna do that.
It's done now.
I I think there people have voted for him would would would welcome this.
Well, I didn't vote for him at the end of the day.
You think this you think this committee uh that put together the BCS whole system to come up with a national championship and do it any better?
That's what I'm gonna mess that is.
Yeah, well, you know, who do you think that the uh you know the the the tax who you think is gonna go after for the taxes?
The rich BCS people.
He's gonna really do everything he can to What's tax has got to do with uh streamlining having a playoff system.
