Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
It is L. Rushbow, America's real anchorman, America's truth detector and the doctor of democracy.
All combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball here on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
Great to be with you as we kick off Thanksgiving week 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
This this hypocrisy business.
They're always saying that we Republicans, we conservatives are hypocrites, you know, when some high-falutin uh famous, well-known conservative has an affair or something, whatever it is.
And I look around and I see all of the hypocrisy on the left, the two sets of rules they devise, one for all of their leaders to live by, the others for the rest of us to live by.
And it just it's sort of, it's striking, like Al Gore.
Al Gore's on this big global warming kick and cap and trade program.
He's he's got he's got all these private jets he flies around in and drives his own gas guzzlers uh around.
Here's uh Obama is talking about overhauling the auto business so that they um auto business, fuel efficient cars, alternative energy technologies, and he charters an MD-80 for himself and four friends to fly to Washington.
His wife flies on a separate airplane, and we don't hear the hypocrisies, well, Rush is the president-elect to security.
I I understand that.
But I have I have a larger question, because it's it it stems from the premise that these people advance as to why we need to totally redo this uh this magical alternative energy when there isn't any.
There really isn't this.
Solar is not enough, wind isn't enough, it doesn't exist.
The truly alternative energy is nuclear, and they won't go there.
But Obama's new limousine, his new presidential limousine, is one of the most gas-guzzling hogs.
It is a the new Cadillac limo for the president is built on an SUV chassis.
It is basically a truck that has a body to make it look like it's a Cadillac stretch.
It will protect it and understandably now, all of this is understandable.
It's it's got high defense mechanisms, very thick bulletproof glass, it has a huge hog of an engine to drive itself around to get around because of all of the weight of the uh of the car.
During the campaign, Obama's promising to get a million plug-in hybrid cars on the road by 2015, but the car he's gonna be running around in is not green at all.
It's a monster gas guzzler made by General Motors.
Armor plated, raised roof, windows five inches thick, extra strength tires, a body made of steel, aluminum, titanium, and ceramics.
It's thought to be based, not it's it's thought to be based on a GMC 2500 truck that gets less than 10 miles to the gallon.
Three cars are believed to be in production so that two can serve as uh as decoys.
The car is built to survive roadside bombs as well as gunfire, but which I don't understand because I thought that everybody was gonna love the Messiah and Obama and America.
I don't understand why we have to have all this protection.
Most environmentalists are in a forgiving mood at the prospect of the greenest U.S. president making a mockery of green.
But they're used to liberal leaders being hypocritical on these issues.
Now here's here's well, I understand and don't make a big deal about this.
I understand that the president has to be protected and security is paramount, and all of that.
The thing that gets me is that they present to us a premise of utter destruction and uh uh almost apocalyptic circumstances if we don't change what we're doing.
If we don't change the way we eat, if we don't change the way we drive, if we don't change the way we uh use energy, the country is gonna go to hell, the world is gonna be destroyed, global warming is gonna change the climate to the point that we're all gonna die.
The polar bears are already leading the way in all this.
So they present this as something that is drastic.
It is a crisis crisis, a super crisis.
And yet, all of them are going to be driving around in their suburbans and their SUVs and flying around in their big airplanes.
So the question has to be asked: how serious is this really?
So I think what this does is destroy their premise of how drastic an emergency we face in all this.
And you know damn well that the people in power are not going to be subjecting themselves, except for show purposes, to the same lifestyle restrictions they hope to impose on everybody else.
And so my reaction is they're making it all up.
They're exaggerating how bad things are.
They want you thinking this way, so that you'll go out and willingly give up some of your freedom and buy things and do things that you really don't want to do because it's the new patriotism.
Or it's the new uh new way to measure the responsible global citizenship or uh or some such thing.
But there's plenty of uh of hypocrisy in all of this that I think just destroys their whole premise.
The economic crisis may be doing what pastors, family therapists, and matrimonial counselors have long struggled to accomplish, and that's keeping troubled marriages together.
People that want to get divorced can't do it now because they're unable to afford it.
Unhappy couples staying together as the economy makes divorcing too costly.
And the reason they get they can't even live separate lives because two households are such can barely pay for the one they have.
So the economy is also in addition to stifling a number of other things, it's also keeping people who hate each other under the same roof when they would rather not be there.
In Chicago, the Cook County Circuit Court system reported that uh divorce and separation filings fell by 600, or roughly 5% during the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year.
Comparable drops have been reported in Fresno County, California and Comanche County, Oklahoma.
Recessions are good.
Well, I don't know if you recessions are good for family values, yes.
Uh, if you if you want to, if you want to call people that would rather split up and go their separate ways, uh unable to do so, a family value.
It's it's it's it's it's I'm telling you, folks, liberalism is about spreading misery.
That we the only way that we can all be equal is if we're equally miserable, and this is just another example of how it manifests itself.
Now we've gone through the past couple of days the real story of Thanksgiving, and it's a tradition on this program on the day before Thanksgiving to actually read that story from one of my two best sellers.
But there's a story in the Madison, Wisconsin Capitol Times today, the headline, the pilgrims were really grave robbers.
Story is by Mike Ivey.
Everything you know about the first Thanksgiving is wrong.
Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims Perseverance, Big Feast, Happy Indians sharing in the bounty.
It's all bunk, except maybe for the part about eating turkey.
Early settlers were so hungry they ate about anything with fur or feathers.
Otherwise, there is little connection between reality and the version of Thanksgiving events still taught in most schools.
That point was hammered home someday by award-winning filmmaker Patty Lowe, a member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior.
Uh Low was the keynote speaker at the third annual interfaith Thanksgiving celebration held at Lakeview Lutheran Church on Madison, Wisconsin's North Side.
Lowe said the problem with a traditional Thanksgiving story is that it plays to the American version of history where peace-loving English settlers tame the wilderness and survive attacks from The bloodthirsty Indians.
Said Patty Lowe, it is the quintessential American holiday.
It involves escaping dangers, surviving in a harsh environment, carving out a new life.
Unfortunately, she says the whole story is nothing but myth.
In reality, the Indian tribes living along the eastern seaboard had been decimated by disease.
In the years preceding the storied landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620.
What was it that destroyed the Indians?
Give me a guess, Mr. Sturdley.
From this wacko leftist historian, what was it?
What what decimated the Indians?
Well, yes, it was Germs of bubonic plague, but I mean who brought it.
Right.
An epidemic of bubonic plague, bubonic plague, most likely, most likely, an epic uh epidemic of bubonic plague most likely brought to the new world by European fishermen in 1617, had killed an estimated 90% of the Indian population by the time the pilgrims landed in Massachusetts.
Yes, the program observer has a question.
What's the question?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Just I don't know why the white guys never caught anything from the Indians in history.
But let me stick with this because this gets even better.
Okay, so where are we now?
In 1617, early arriving European fishermen brought bubonic plague that wiped out 90% of the Indians.
When the pilgrims showed up, what they found were empty villages with crops still in the field, caused the Indians had either died or left.
Now wait just a second now, just a second now.
The more religious of the settlers, only 32 of the 102 who landed at Plymouth were actually pilgrims.
The more religious of the settlers thought the existing villages in cleared fields were a sign that God was providing for them.
Other settlers took to digging up the graves of the dead Indians, picking through the housewares, blankets, or weapons buried with the dead.
So the first Thanksgiving in America was actually held by grave robbers.
Said Patty Lowe, filmmaker.
She challenged the audience to tell the correct version of events and think about what it means when they celebrate this Thursday with family and friends.
So we're not we're not just talking about feel-good history, but history that reflects the truth, said Patty Lowe, who's a longtime local TV anchor who serves as associate professor of life sciences communication at U University of Wisconsin Madison.
Now, if the crops were still standing in the fields, I guess 90% of the Indians must have just died overnight, you know, right before the harvest.
If the crops were still standing in the fields and they were robbing graves, why didn't the pilgrims get the bubonic plague?
What spared them from getting the bubonic plague that these European fishermen trucked over in 1617?
I don't think Thanksgiving was not the first year either.
It took a long time here for the Indians, for the uh pilgrims to have enough of a life to be thankful for anything.
Uh to anybody.
So this is this is how American history.
This is the multicultural curriculum.
You know, you sit here and tell jokes about it.
Oh, yeah, the early white Europeans, they brought syphilis, they brought uh environmental destruction.
It's being taught.
It's being taught.
University of Wisconsin, Madison, and there were 200 people that showed up for this film documentary on the uh on the history of the first Thanksgiving.
Well, a lot of let me tell you something.
I know it can't be proved because the two words most likely, most likely, the Indians were decimated most likely by a disease.
They can't be proved.
Nobody knows this is this is this is just a multicultural curriculum which is designed to get as many little kids as possible to question the decency and the goodness of their own country.
Quick timeout, folks.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
The first wave of family arrived tonight from Missouri, a week-long festive celebration of Thanksgiving arrivals will take place all through Wednesday.
Actually, some are not even gonna get here till Thursday, and that means at the L Rush Bowl place, and one day, to when four of the next five days will feature Allen Brothers products.
Four of the next we're gonna have pork chops, beef, hamburgers, prime rib, all of this sort of stuff.
It's a treat.
I think this is half the reason why the people I invite show up.
It's not me.
If they know that I serve Allen Brothers, and they all talk about it because they can't get it anywhere else.
It makes great gift giving.
Website is ABstakes.com, and I warn you go there at your own risk because when you look at the pictures, your mouth is gonna order.
By the way, they have desserts, they have turkeys, they have they have everything.
The beef is what's special because it's the finest prime rib produced in the country.
They even have Wagyu, which is American Kobe.
Uh if you that's sort of off the charts right now with the price-wise, but they've got rush packs and a number of other things that you can try.
Is this a time of year to treat yourself, and it's uh well worth it.
Allen Brothers, AB stakes.com.
Rick in Eton Rapids, Michigan.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing today, Rush, from the uh uh Socialist Republic of Michigan.
Uh thank you, sir.
Uh I don't know if you know this or not, but the taxpayers have been underwriting uh that jobs bank for a long, long time in the way of unemployment payments.
You know, I did not know about the jobs bank until all this stuff with GM started hitting and and Ford, you know, the big three in general.
I did not know to the the I I knew about pensions, and I I knew about uh all the the 95-95% of salary being paid to people uh after they retire and health care and so forth.
I did not know about the job bank until maybe ten days or two weeks ago.
Well, here's what happens is these people sign up for the jobs bank.
Most of them are taking a voluntary layoff, which in the first place should uh void your unemployment.
But these people going into the jobs bank are eligible underneath a Carter rule for up to two years of unemployment compensation.
So they draw about $300 a week, and then GM Porter Chrysler pays the rest of their pay, up to up to 90%.
So actually what they're what they're drawing from the company is bigger than their unemployment check.
So the yeah, uh the the jobs bank is made up of people who accept a buyout essentially.
Uh accept a buyout or take a voluntary layoff.
Right.
And well, what really kills me in this is number one, they get up to two years.
And the average person here, like like uh my whole family's work for GM off and on forever.
Now I've got sons-in-laws who work for GM subsidiaries, make half of what the people at GM make.
Now, if my sons-in-law are laid off, they don't get the supplemental pay.
So they have to live on unemployment.
Okay.
If they take a part-time job to make up the difference, that's automatically taken out of their unemployment.
Now, wait, but you're these are people that work for the subsidiary, not for General Motors.
So they're not in the jobs bank.
No, they're not.
But the people are in the jobs bank, you're telling me get unemployment benefits, plus the 90-95% of their salary.
No, no.
They get the unemployment benefit, and then General Motors makes up the difference.
Up to 95%.
Oh.
But so the un the So it's the U It's the U.S. taxpayer that's making up the difference.
Yes, it is.
Well, no, not that the U.S. taxpayers paying the unemployment.
General Motors, then whatever the difference between the unemployment is and 95% of the jobs bank guys pay is they they pay.
Yep.
But if if you work for a subsidiary, you don't get the jobs bank.
You don't get the subpay or any of that.
So if you take a part-time job to make up the difference, they take away your unemployment.
Well, see, uh Rush, there's a lot of dissension right now within the UAW because of things like this.
And that's part of the reason Obama is is getting ready to give the UAW this open election thing.
So they can root out the troublemakers.
Uh yeah, the that's that's oh, I forgot about that.
Yes.
The um end of the secret ballot on union organizing.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly right.
Okay, Rick, uh appreciate the phone call out there.
I just I'm struck.
I'm putting myself in the position General Motors is in, and if if I were sitting here every day having to pay people that don't work here in a large enough, I would be mad.
From Oklahoma City.
Oklahomans without health insurance could lose their driver's licenses, state income tax deductions, and even their college football season tickets under a surprising approach proposed by state insurance commissioner Kim Holland.
Such penalties might help Oklahoma improve its dismal ranking and the number of residents who have no health insurance, said Holland during her agency's summit of the high cost of health insurance.
None of those are very pleasant, but there needs to be a consequence, said Kim Holland.
We've developed this culture over the years that some don't feel like they have to pay their medical bills, and it's uh it's gonna take us a while to overcome that, and it's gonna be painful.
The idea has an obvious potential for problems, including unfairly targeting targeting a large group of people who can't afford to buy medical coverage.
Well, while there might be some merit to target Oklahomans who earn enough money to afford health insurance but choose not to, policymakers must avoid penalizing those who can't afford or qualify for insurance, said Jeff Raymond, the director of the nonprofit.
Oh, this this is misses the whole point.
This is the wrong way to look at it.
Once again, we have a freedom issue.
The Oklahoma State Insurance Commissioner has proposed a ban to make sure that all Oklahomans have medical coverage.
And that means it's mandatory.
And if you don't go out and get it, they'll take away your driver's license, take away your state income tax deduction, but the biggie, the biggie, is take away your college football season tickets to either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, or whatever other university in the state that you have season tickets to.
It's a freedom issue.
And of course, their only concern here, well, what about forcing those who can't afford it?
What's the difference in somebody who can't afford it and somebody who doesn't want to buy it?
Well, Mr. Limbaugh, they can't pay their bills at that point.
Well, then in the old days, the hospitals would send somebody out and repo the car.
If you didn't pay your hospital.
We're talking, we're not even talking catastrophic here.
We're talking just average ordinary run-of-the-mill go-get a checkup kind of health coverage.
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma, 65% voted for for McCain.
Until this, I was going to require the Republican Party to study what's going on in Oklahoma.
But now I don't want them to study because they'll probably think it's a good idea.
By the way, I'm um I'm now persona non grata.
Uh or should be.
I should be persona non grotto in the Republican Party.
Morton Kondracki has instructed the Republican Party to fire me.
We go to Saturday night's Beltway Boys on the Fox News Channel.
Mort Kondraki and Fred Barnes have this exchange.
I read that excellent column of yours in roll call about what Republicans need to do, and except for the vicious attack on Rush Limbaugh.
It made a lot of sense, particularly at that Republicans or Democrats for that matter, if they're in the minority, need to present alternative policies.
Wasn't a vicious attack on Rush Linball and the rest.
All I said was that Republicans should not allow them to be their intellectual bosses, uh, as in immigration, where they lost the Hispanic vote, right?
What the Republicans, I mean, it's going to be very hard.
They're down to 170 odd uh members, of whom 165 are from the most conservative districts in the United States.
And they're very subject in those districts to harangue from the likes of Rush Limbaugh.
And the result of that is the tendency will be not to think, but to just go right, right, right, right, right.
And say no, no, no, no, no.
That is not the road back.
Mort Kondraki, a uh moderate centrist Liberal uh advising the Republican Party to ignore me.
Uh, you know, Ed Morrissey at um uh Hot Air, the hot air blog wrote about this last week.
It really i it's a stretch of the imagination, and it's a stretch of the facts to blame me for McCain's loss.
Mort, I would tell you, I would tell you what I've told everybody, you got the candidate you wanted.
All of you guys in the Fox All Stars, when you started talking about the Republican presidential nomination, you wanted McCain.
McCain was a guy who could get the Hispanic vote.
McCain was the guy who could get Democrats, hello, Colin Powell.
He can get independence and moderates, hello, Colin Powell.
He could get all these groups that the right wing Republicans couldn't get.
And McCain went out there and he gave it his best shot, didn't he?
You guys, Schwarzenegger, you got the campaign you wanted.
Conservatism wasn't on the ballot.
Conservatism didn't lose anything.
When conservatism was on the ballot, Prop Aid California, and some tax cut propositions in other states, bam oh.
It won.
What do you think is the alternative, Mort to liberalism?
What's it Mort said the Republicans need alternative policies?
Yeah.
And yet you suggested McCain, who had no alternative policies.
McCain, this is not possible, but he did it.
He lost the tax cut vote to a collectivist.
That's not my fault, Mort.
And that's not any conservatives' fault.
I mean, when the Republican Party loses the tax cut vote, you gotta start looking at people in the party and you gotta start looking at the candidates.
People listening to Rush Limbaugh harangues.
The dirty little secret is Obama could have been defeated.
But I just uh, you know, Mort's Mort's like all these other people here, trying to blame me for what is happening.
And saying if a Republican's gonna win, like an immigration.
They really think that I and others of my quote unquote ilk destroyed the Hispanic vote.
What more could McCain do to get it than what he did?
He went out there and was the author, the visible author with Ted Kennedy of the amnesty bill.
The dirty little secret is, Mort, that the Republicans are not going to be able to get we we shouldn't the Republicans should not look at the electorate as they got to get the Hispanic vote, and then we gotta get some of the black vote, we gotta get the female vote, and we gotta get the Walmart uh vote, and we gotta get the NASCAR vote.
We don't balkanize the electorate.
Conservatism doesn't look at people and sees people, sees human beings, sees Americans.
And we think that our ideas lift everybody, regardless of their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or what have you.
And the sad thing is, Mort, the blueprint's there.
It's been used three times since 1980, and it's been victorious each time it's been tried.
The problem is the Republican Party's listening to people like you, who think it needs to go moderate.
You got the candidate you loved.
You got the candidate you thought could win.
It was just predictable.
Everybody that I know knew for a fact once Senator McCann got the nomination what the outcome of this election was going to be.
And the idea that we can go out and get the Hispanic votes with with being right on immigration, you're just telling everybody forget principles, forget core beliefs, go pander, go tell this group what they want to hear, and then go tell the corn farmers in Iowa that you love ethanol.
And then you go tell the women whatever you think they want to hear.
I don't know what it is, because they don't even know half the time.
Then we're supposed to go to the Walmart middle class people, and we're supposed to promise government programs to help them.
Why in the world are we supposed to get into a competition with liberal Democrats who are the professionals at growing government and offering programs to get votes?
Why should we enter that competition?
That's not who we are.
Who's next on this program?
Robert in Huntsville, Alabama.
Great you called, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Bush, uh happy Thanksgiving from a former GM employee.
Thank you, sir.
Um listen, the point of the call was to uh and you did talk about it in the last hour quite extensively, but my main concern with this deficit spending is the fact that uh we're we're we're raising the ceiling so much.
When are we gonna see the collapse of the dollar?
Uh well I have no idea.
What about the what about the uh interest rates?
You know, we we we saw an up surge in those about ten years ago when we got into a big deficit problem.
Well uh what the the uh guy that runs the International Monetary Fund over the weekend uh was interviewed in some elitist paper, and he said we don't have the money to do what our charter requires us to do.
He's he said that that central banks are gonna have to lower interest rates to practically zero if the world has any chance of coming out of this.
What I take from that is nobody knows what the hell to do.
Everybody's trying to micromanage this.
If they just get out of the way, let the market handle, yeah, there would be a lot of pain, but there's going to be anyway.
Oh, absolutely, absolutely there is, and then it's it's better to um to uh weather this thing uh early on as opposed to this tank everything.
Well that we can't rebuild it.
This is only going to prolong it.
I remember people have forgotten this.
I but I I tend to remember uh 1982.
1982 that Reagan's you know second year, it was a recession.
Oh, big time.
It was a huge recession, big recession.
And I remember back then that the um the I was in Kansas City, and we were all sitting around talking about it, and the uh the basic plan back that was just let it happen.
It's got to happen to clean up all the things that had been made bad by Jimmy Carter and even some years previous with Nixon.
And so it was.
And what did Reagan do amid he cut taxes?
And by the time he was through the topinal rate, the marginal rate went from 70 to 28 percent, and revenues to the treasury doubled.
People put things back together because it's the people who make the country work, it's the people that make the economy work.
So when you ask me when the dollar's gonna collapse, I have no clue.
I I don't even know that it is.
Uh it is.
I just this this deficit that we're gonna end up having, one point four trillion dollars, we're gonna have a deficit.
It's over half of the annual revenue produced during the next fiscal year.
We have never had that in my not my lifetime, we've never had that.
So we are entering for me, uncharted territory.
Last time we had a deficit, the percentage of the uh annual revenue that high was 1945.
Coming out of World War II.
Anyway, appreciate the call, Robert.
Quick timeout.
We'll be right back.
Friday was hot.
You can't fool me.
Friday was hot.
Either way, uh MSNBC just announced that uh home builders, the some I guess some home builders association has applied for a 250 billion dollar bailout.
And I again am Rush Limbaugh, one of the few of the proud, the brave, who have not asked for a bailout.
You know, NBC bought the weather channel.
And now NBC has fired the climate unit.
NBC made the first of potentially several rounds of staff cuts at the Weather Channel Wednesday, axing the entire staff of the forecast Earth Environmental Program, and they did it in the middle of NBC's Green Week.
They also got rid of several on-camera meteorologists.
They got rid of Dave Schwartz, they got rid of Cheryl Lemke uh and Ebony Dion were let go.
The timing of the forecast Earth cancellation was ironic since it came in the middle of NBC's Green Week, during which the network has been touting its environmental coverage across all of its platforms.
Forecast Earth normally aired on weekends, but it's presumed last episode was shown on a weekday due to the environmentally oriented week.
Forecast Earth was hosted by Natalie Allen, who used to anchor at CNN with contributions from climate expert Heidi Cullen.
You know, she's the one that started preaching to people on that channel about global warming.
And I don't know what's going to happen to her.
But it was the only program on the Weather Channel that focused on global climate change, and NBC cancels it.
And fires everybody involved with it.
I have a theory as to why.
And I well, quite frankly, if you want to watch the weather channel, you want to watch what?
You'll want to see what the weather is.
I tune to the weather channel.
If they're running a story on if sometimes in December, January, they'll do uh they've got this horrible storm series that sometimes runs for an hour or two, and you get no weather.
In an hour, you got to watch documentaries of hurricane destruction.
And I'll bet you the same thing with it.
I don't know how many people watch the weather channel anyway, except during emergencies it spikes up.
But obviously, people don't want to be preached to on the weather channel about the way they live.
Just tell me what the weather's gonna be and shut up.
I don't care what you think of the car I'm driving.
I don't care what you think of the I just want to know what the weather's gonna be when I head to Grandma's house on Wednesday.
And if you don't get that when you tune in there, then you don't stay there.
So I'm guessing that uh that the that's one of the reasons that it's gone.
It certainly is not because the global warming issue is over.
And it certainly is not because NBC has given up on the global warming issue.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I know that's another thing.
I don't watch NBC to see Green Week.
I was I was channel surfing around.
I I took Sunday off, yeah, just to veg.
And uh I'm channel surfing around before the football games all start, and I got a channel 74 on Direct TV, which is uh uh NBC Universal High Definition.
And they were they were playing uh a replay of Friday Night Lights, which I've never watched.
So I'll hang around here.
This looks like I sat through four minutes of commercials and green promos.
Before they got to by the time I got to Friday Night Lights, I don't care about Friday night lights anymore.
I've been preached to here about my light bulbs and all this.
And I said, these people can just stuff it.
I am not gonna turn my freedom over to a damn network.
Got enough trouble holding on to it in the face of the government.
Paula in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Welcome to the program.
Megadeth rush from the hometown of the evil Walmart.
Yes, madam, thank you very much.
Rush, this is the week of Thanksgiving, and I just want you to know I'm grateful for ye.
You make me laugh and you make me think every day.
I appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
Rush, I want to submit to you this big agenda of Obama and the Dems.
I think this uh card check legislation.
You've already referred to it once today.
I I believe that Walmart is the target of that.
I think they're they are salivating at the idea of collecting union dues and unionizing Walmart all across this country.
No question about it, but I don't think they're just the sole target.
I think they want to, I think they want to get as many unions and as many small businesses as they can.
Uh they want to rebuild the unions to keep campaign donations going and votes and so forth.
And meanwhile, Congress conducts secret votes on whether our Senate does on whether or not Lieberman should stay on the committee.
And they all think God a secret vote.
By the way, I had an answer to the question of an asking why is it Obama's putting all these Clinton people in his administration?
No, she's from Arkansas reminded me of it.
And the answer is when you're a community organizer, and that's all you've ever done, you probably don't meet a whole lot of people.
It could be cabinet secretaries.
The fastest three hours in media comes to a screeching temporary halt.
But we will be back in 21 hours looking forward to it.
Thanks so much for being with us today, folks.
It's always a pleasure and looking forward to Magnana.
