Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Would you all stand up, please?
Stand up, please.
Thank you.
I have entered the room.
When I enter the room, everybody stands up live from the office of America's Anchorman.
I am Rush Limbaugh, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and today I give you my plans for the future of the country.
Except there's a big difference between myself and the president selected.
And that is the ideas will be mine.
I have no team to farm it out to.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you here.
800-282-2882's a phone number.
If you want to be on the program, the email address today, Lrushball at EIBNet.com.
Second day in a row, President Select Obama starts a press conference right as this program begins.
I don't think.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's sit down, please.
Yes.
Soon as I begin, of course, that's the signal to sit down.
When I appear, you stand, you rise.
And as soon as I have assumed the position of the microphone, you then sit down with due respect.
Listen to my B.S. And then ask me meaning meaningless questions designed to make me look like I have a handle on everything going on when I really don't know beans.
I'm just farming it out to the team, giving them assignments to come up with things to do, and sound confident about it all.
So that's that's that's the procedure from now on here at the office of uh of America's Anchor Man.
Again, now where was the telephone number 800-282-2882 if you like to be on the program, email address Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
Somali Pirates aced out of their chance to buy into Citibank, have uh instead hijacked another vessel, a uh Yemeni cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden.
Mr. Andrew Mwangura, the coordinator for the Kenya-based East African Seafarers Assistance Program, identified the vessel as the MV Amani, but no other details were immediately available.
Who are these guys?
The Somali Pirates are just racking up score after score after score.
I guess they're burned up.
Burned, I bet they're angry here.
They obviously made a play for Citibank and they got aced out by the U.S. government uh bailing it.
How about Robert Rubin?
Why is Robert Rubin not fired?
Why are some of these people you know for every every one of us, well, when I want to say every one of you, but I actually don't mean you.
I'm talking about the the people in the country who are fed up with all these CEOs and these execs at, say, the Big Three or at Big Oil or wherever they are.
I mean, there's so many so many people in this country who have genuine hatred for corporations now, thanks to the Democrat Party and their class envy strategy, and they have personal hatred for these CEOs, and they want to see their heads lopped off, and they want to see the end of their golden parachutes.
How in the world do you justify having Robert Rubin around the New York Post and the New York Times?
The New York Times used to be Rubens personal PR machine.
New York Times today with a story uh on on Rubin and how much money he's made for doing nothing except screwing things up.
It is uh well, let me it's it makes him cabinet material in the in the Obama administration.
There's there's no question about it.
Um the Halo finally coming off.
This is Robert Rubin.
Uh is being caught out by the New York Times for having earned 107 million dollars in fees for part-time work leading Citibank into this current morass that required this hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout money.
And he's been there for let me let me find he was the architect of this.
And he was he was brought in there to save the you know, his expertise.
This is the guy that was so wonderful for the U.S. economy and so forth.
The New York Post today has a uh a good expose.
Robert Ruman, uh Citigroup special advisor, sat on the board at Citigroup from 1999 until this past August.
He has a special contract with Citigroup that paid him more than 107 million dollars.
And he's right there as a consultant and as an advisor as Citigroup hits the skids with the stock price.
Last I looked, it was hovering just below $5.
Which is why is nobody shouting for his head?
Because he's loved and adored inside the beltway.
He is uh he's he's a DC beltway hero uh to all of the uh the media and the leftist elites in that town.
But I mean, it's uh just if you if you're gonna get mad at the auto CEOs and if you're gonna get mad at the big oil CEOs, then by all means, ladies and gentlemen, don't be um uh well just feel free to let loose on some of these financial CEOs that are actually uh doing for their businesses what some of these other CEOs that everybody's outraged about have been doing for theirs.
Now, listen to this.
This is a fascinating story in the midst of all that's going on, and as more people start paying attention to all of these bailout dollars, and that seven port 7.4 trillion dollar bailout number that I used yesterday, the debt that we're gonna have is now starting to circulate.
It was a Bloomberg news story yesterday.
It's now starting to circulate.
People say, What?
Where is this gonna come from?
7.4 trillion dollars.
We're talking, I mean, that we we're talking a percentage of the national debt here, the federal budget deficit next year, well, this fiscal year, 1.3 to 1.5 trillion dollars.
We've not been through anything like this since 1945.
So listen to this.
800, it's AP Obama story, but I don't think the Obama division of AP actually proved this.
Headline $846 million of Katrina aid is unclaimed, and rents in New Orleans have risen despite federal programs to help landlords.
The four-unit shotgun house that Sandra Marshall bought after decades of double shifts has sat untouched since the flooding of Hurricane Katrina, while nearly eight hundred and fifty million dollars in federal aid for her and thousands of other mom and pop landlords sits on a bureaucratic shelf.
Congress just gave themselves 700 billion dollars.
How many times now?
How many 700 billion dollar bailouts have I just watched Obama at the beginning of this press conference?
He said he's gonna go through the budget line by line.
That, by the way, is gonna be very difficult to do.
There are hundreds of thousands of lines in the budget, but he's gonna go through it line by line, and he's gonna strike out anything that there is raised wasteful money.
Whatever he finds that's wasteful, he's just gonna eliminate it.
He's just gonna whack it.
Now he's gonna have, you know, interesting times in Congress getting this done because here's the one he cited as uh as he found this this morning.
He found that the federal government is paying farmers uh 49 billion dollars uh uh in in uh the aggregate to not grow crops, you know, crop subsidy payments and so forth and so on.
Uh and he found out that some of these people getting the subsidy make two and a half million dollars already that they are not qualified for.
He's gonna wipe it out.
Okay, now that means that Obama is gonna try to take a huge chunk out of farm bill.
Now, I want to see that play out in Washington.
We have heard this before.
Every time uh the people start looking at crop subsidies and so forth, uh incoming administration, oh, we're gonna target that, we're gonna get rid of that, and then you get into Congress, where the uh people that are elected from these states by these farmers and conglomerates have something to say about it.
But it but at any rate, the point here is that we have if if you're looking for waste, and if you're looking for evidence that government bailouts don't work, you don't have to go back in history very far, although you can and you can find example after example after example.
All you have to do to do is to see it is go to Hurricane Katrina.
There's eight hundred and fifty million dollars in federal aid for mom and pop landlords who got who got uh really harmed by Hurricane Katrina.
It sits on a bureaucratic shelf, the landlords cannot get it, and yet Congress just authorized themselves $700 million for their crony buddies wherever their crony buddies happen to be.
Sandra Marshall is 56.
She says, I have old tenants calling me all the time asking when I'm going to get the place back up and running.
I wish I knew.
She has applied for a repair loan from the nearly forgotten Louisiana small rental property program created in the aftermath of Katrina to provide financial help to as many as 13,000 live-in owners of the shotgun and cottage conversions that kept rents cheap in New Orleans for region uh generations.
So far, it has put money in the hands of only 352 landlords.
The hurdles have been its flawed implementation, limited financial resources among applicants, and lately the national credit crunch.
Now the state's seeking to overhaul the program and divert the funds, divert them to what?
Or to who?
There's $850 million that was designated.
Whether it makes sense or not is not the point now.
$850 billion million dollars designated for landlords and are not getting it, the hurdles for them to get it are insurmountable.
Housing advocates say the program's failure, this is a federal government program failure, has contributed to a 40% spike in rents citywide, just like federal money raised the cost of college, everything the government touches, the price goes up.
And it's now being evidenced in New Orleans.
Now, all of this has forced the federal government to pour even more band-aid relief into the recovery in Katrina, including a $28 million a month disaster housing assistance program that helps $31,000 families pay inflated rents now.
So a program that was designed to help landlords get up and running and lower rents during the recovery after Katrina has done just the opposite.
The money's not gone to the landlords.
Rents have skyrocketed, so there's now a federal program to help renters pay the higher rents.
And this was all, you know, this compassion.
And we're gonna we're gonna throw all this money at the Hurricane Katrina area and survivors because we're gonna help them out.
The failure of the small rental program is one reason why many blue-collar New Orleans residents find themselves no longer able to afford life in their beloved hometown, it says here.
And they say, A.P. Obama also writes, it also illustrates how the billions of taxpayer dollars thrown at the hurricane recovery effort have yielded limited progress.
Duh.
Money thrown at anything yields limited progress.
Federal you throw money at your kid.
You are going to see limited progress.
You throw money away and you create the impression that more is going to be thrown your way, and you are going to yield limited progress.
The rental program is launched under former governor Kathleen Blanco, or Blanco or whatever, as a companion to the $10.3 billion Road Home Program, which has issued $120,000 rebuilding grant.
Look at all of the look at all the garbage that people live down there have to go through in order to try to rebuild the city.
Every road takes you to a government building of some kind, and then multiple rooms and doors inside the government building.
Banks lack confidence in this program.
Whoa, really?
I wonder why.
And now we all lack confidence in the banks.
Where was their lack of confidence when they were giving mortgages to people who couldn't pay?
If they were giving mortgages to people who couldn't pay, why don't why are they worried now about helping people who can't pay?
Folks, this is absurd.
This is just flat out ridiculous.
And here's the evidence.
All these bailouts, and this story goes on for another two pages.
We will link to it at Rushlinbaugh.com.
All of this.
This Hurricane Katrina is just one example of the absolute nightmare that's created by this.
And it is done by design.
This is called maximizing crisis opportunity.
And when the feds get involved, maximizing crisis opportunity, they build layer upon layer upon layer of bureaucracy.
It becomes so complicated that you can't dismantle it.
It doesn't work, and so the cycle repeats.
Members of Congress say, well, we need more money.
We're underfunded here.
Now, go to audio soundbite number five quickly before we go to the break here.
Last night, on hardball, we had uh who is it?
Uh Mike Barnacle sitting in there.
He's talking to Jim Moran, the genius member of Congress from Virginia.
Bartigle said, Jim, I'm a I'm a taxpayer.
I'm scared.
I can't stand looking at the headlines every day.
Tell me why all these billions in bailouts is a good thing, and tell me that my money given to you, the federal government will work the way you think it'll work.
I think it's very hard to justify it until the economy comes back.
But I think we have to justify this, and what troubles me the most is that we're never going to pay this money back if these equities and liabilities don't improve in value.
We're doing this all on our kids' credit card.
And of course, the holder, the servicer of that credit card is China Inc.
and other foreign nations.
You know, we're at a precarious uh position here, and I just hope that it works out.
Well, that's really inspiring, isn't it?
Congressman big liberal who believes in all this kind of stuff.
Crosses his fingers and says, I hope it works out.
You contrast that with the president select Barack Obama who comes across as confident and certain and sure that everything is going to be just fine, although it's gonna be hurtful, it's gonna be fraught with pain for a couple years.
But that's by design too.
Pardon me for being cynical.
But if you're sitting there as Barack Obama, and you know you've got a troubled economy, deleted your well headed your way, and that you're gonna be running it, you you give yourself two years, and you turn it around.
You want it to start turning around two years from now.
Not now.
Two years from now is when you start your re-election effort.
The economy is a back pocket issue.
It matters a lot in re-elections or elections, period.
So you make sure this economy sort of chugs along, showing some signs, but then whammo, there's the next day, just like I said yesterday.
And then all of a sudden you do what you can to goose it, starting in 2010.
You might suffer some losses in the House and Senate in the midterm elections, but you figure the Republicans they got nobody out there that they can run that wants to run that can win, so you say as the hell with that.
You say, I'll start getting the economy in gear here in 2010, so we're just showing a little bit of an uptick and growth as we head into my re-election.
It's called the Rama Manual School of Expert Crisis Exploitation.
Back in a second.
You know, it is so great to be back here in the EIB Southern Command when there's no union and there's no Mo Thacker, union thug of the United Screeners of America, telling me I can't turn on my own microphone.
It's so wonderful to be in total control of the operation to turn it on and turn it off without being uh without being uh in fear of being written up or cited and called before the grievance board.
But wait till they give the card check provision to the United Screeners, and uh they'll they'll vote to unionize our little office down here.
You guys they'll probably get you to vote for it, they'll pressure you, they'll they'll thug you up.
Um, get you to vote for a union in here.
It's gonna be fun.
As we watch all this transpire, look at this, folks.
Uh Associated Press Obama.
The potential cost for the government's efforts to contain the financial crisis, in my estimation, is a financial crisis.
The financial crisis is what is being done to fix it.
Six trillion dollars.
This according to AP Obama, according to Bloomberg yesterday was 7.4 trillion.
Folks, the potential cost for the government's efforts to contain the financial crisis now top six trillion dollars.
Do you realize we we've That that means, well, the way I interpret this, we have pumped six trillion into somewhere, and it hasn't mattered, has it?
Unemployment goes up, the economic growth rates go out.
It's not as bad, by the way.
Thomas Sowell has a great piece on this today.
Not as bad as everybody's making it out to be.
It's not the Great Depression, it's nowhere close to it.
But they got everybody thinking it is, and in politics, perception is reality.
So we got to deal with the fact that most Americans think that we've already gone to hell.
And all they've got is the handbasket that took us there.
And of course, Obama is the savior.
It's going to bring us out of hell.
But I tell you, that six trillion dollars, that's the financial crisis itself.
Because we don't have this money.
And we're allocating it as though we've got it in some bank.
Oh, yeah, well, we'll spend it there.
Here, Dick Army.
Barnacle asked him last night.
Say, Mr. Army, you're a PhD in economics.
Why should I not be scared over all this?
Well, I don't know.
It's all very confusing to me.
Let me remind you, I have a PhD in economics.
And I have to tell you, we used to say that inflation is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods.
Right now we've got this unbelievable flood of bad money chasing worthless product, and nothing new, nothing is being produced out of it.
It's like we're putting the whole family in hock to pay the bail and pay the fines and pay off the bad debts of our irresponsible relatives, but is creating nothing of value in the economy and preserving a lot of trash off on the corner.
And it's keeping some people in their Hamptons homes rather than having to sell and move to Yonkers.
And we're back Rush Limbaugh, as always, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Here's another CI Told You So.
This is from the New York Times environmental blog that they call Green Inc.
For politicians, two of the most dreaded words in the English lingo are gas tax.
And it was only a few months ago that a few politicians, including some presidential candidates, were proposing gas tax holidays for the summer driving season.
As it stands, the current federal gas tax is at 18.4 cents a gallon.
It's not budged essentially for 15 years.
Every state except Alaska slamps its own tax on gasoline.
These two rarely get raised.
This whole point, the whole point here is uh this blog is to encourage the states.
Some states are now flirting with raising the gasoline tax, and the New York Times Green Inc.
blog wants them to go forward and uh and do so.
It is uh I think it's interesting because once again, there's a great lesson.
Our friends in the government all tell us that we have to start conserving that we are wasteful when it comes to our use of energy.
Doesn't matter what kind.
We need to go out and buy smaller cars, even, despite the fact that most people, if they had their druthers, would buy large cars.
Gotta go buy small cars because we have to save the planet.
And then we got to go buy cars that get even better gas mileage, perhaps even use some kind of alternative fuel, even though it might destroy boat motors.
We still have to do it.
And so, people are eager to please their government.
Ever since the days of FDR and Franklin Roosevelt moving forward, some people in this country are eager to please and help their government, as uh Biden said during the campaign, it's even patriotic to pay higher taxes.
So people are eager to please their government.
And so they let their tongues drag the floor and they start panting.
And they run out and do what the friendly government tells them to do.
And the government also says, by the way, if you do this, look at the money you will save.
It will give you more disposable income in your family budget because you're driving a smaller car with much better gas mileage, you'll be using less gasoline, you'll be saving the planet from global warming.
It's a win-win.
You go out and do what you can to help your government, which is not the same thing as helping your country, by the way.
You go out, help it's not anymore.
Maybe one day it used to be, but it's not.
I I I won't be surprised if Obama in his uh in his inauguration asked not what your government can do for you.
Demand what my government will do for you.
The country is a lost cause.
It's a it's a country is a is an old passe concept anyway.
Now government is the thing.
So people are eager to help their governments.
They go out, they do all this stuff, and lo and behold, something unexpected.
An unintended consequence.
You do everything you're told to do to save the world, to save the planet, to save your government, and to give yourself more money.
And then they realize that you're not creating as much tax revenue.
And then they say, well, we have to do something about this, because they can never do with less, and so they start talking about raising the gasoline tax.
And then something else happens.
The oil price plunges, and the gasoline price gets back to a normal price that people were used to paying for years in the $2 to $2.50 range.
Well, that creates less tax revenue for the states.
So people then discuss and start hearing about raising gas taxes even more, and that's where we are.
So you do everything they ask you to do, and it's gonna cost you money no matter what.
If you get involved with the government, why do you think so many people try to structure their lives to have as little contact with government as possible?
Because it costs them to have contact with government.
And some people can't help it.
You have to go through the twists and turns of the regulators and so forth to uh be able to do what you want to do.
Gloria Borger.
In fact, um have Audio Sunbite 7 standing by before we get to Audio Sunbite 11.
I'm making a mid-program change here.
You got that?
Yeah, good.
Okay, Gloria Borger today in the uh CNN's website.
Obama takes ownership of the economy, is the headline.
Which is fascinating because he hasn't said anything yet.
He hasn't offered anything specific.
In fact, some of the drive-bys are worried about this.
We'll get to that later.
Here's how Gloria Borger begins her piece.
At long last a team.
And it's formidable.
With Tim Geisner, eyed for the head of the treasury.
By the way, the New York Times kind of dumps on this guy today, too.
So he was everywhere to be found in the Citibank collapse.
He was everywhere in a lot of these bailouts.
He was everywhere.
Some people are not happy with Geithner, although he's been portrayed as a wonderboy savior like Obama.
But Gloria Borger here still uh uh smelling the coffee, whatever, when Tim Geitner eyed for the Treasury Department, Obama has chosen a fellow already knee deep in the bailout, somebody who gets what's gone right and is smart enough to understand what could go very wrong.
Somebody who gets what has gone right, I don't know that anything has yet.
Because remember the brilliant monologue from yesterday.
Every time they do a bailout, it's yay, and then there's the next day.
Where it just doesn't seem to have mattered.
She goes on to praise Larry Summers and all the other people that Obama named, because it's the inside the Beltway crowd, they're back.
We're gonna have parties, the White House is gonna be festive again, it's gonna be cool.
And all my friends are back in power now, which means I have access.
And then there's this paragraph.
Some Republicans have predictably begun to grumble about the size of the stimulus package, but here's a question.
What would you in the Republican Party do differently?
Would you continue the deregulation that got us into this mess?
And didn't you folks break the bank over the last couple of years yourselves?
Aren't even some of the most conservative economists now advising spending as a way to get ourselves out of this hole?
Now, the natural uh knee-jerk reaction uh to anything on CNN or Gloria Borger is to is to reject it.
These are actually pretty good questions that Ms. Borger raises.
Would you in the what would you and the Republican Party do differently?
Well, I don't know.
I can't speak for the Republican Party, proudly, I say.
Proudly, and thankfully, I can't speak for the Republican Party, but I can speak for conservatism.
What will we do differently?
Let them fail.
We would follow the Ronaldus Magnus model.
He was asked to bail out the big three back in 1982.
He said, Nope.
They're going to have to become more competitive.
They were worried then about Japanese and Korean imports.
Would you continue the deregulation that got us into this mess?
This is the one question that Ms. Borger asks that has a flawed premise.
As I assume it's deregulation, I don't know what deregulation she's talking about.
There was plenty of regulation at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It was just ignored, Gloria.
And if I'm not mistaken, it was the Bush administration that numerous times attempted to get new regulators in there and new forms of regulation.
The exact opposite of deregulation, and I think, Gloria, if you'll go look this up, you will find that it was people like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd that rejected new oversight on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
I think you'll also look, Gloria, you might find that this whole subprime mortgage thing is one of the primary problems that has caused the collapse of a lot of other things that were associated with it.
The whole subprime thing was a flawed, unworkable premise in the first place, loaning money to people that never had a chance to pay it back, and letting them stay in their homes, and then trying to secure the value of that worthless paper with the creation of new forms of securities like derivatives and credit default swaps and these things piled on top of each other in an effort to make this paper value uh have some value and it didn't.
And it still doesn't.
There's still toxic assets out there that the Secretary Secretary of Treasury says, Well, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not gonna buy them up now.
We'll just leave them out there as toxic assets.
I don't think that deregulation is the problem here.
I think lack of regulation is the problem.
Uh, and it was the Democrats who did not want any regulations whatsoever.
See, this is this is this is somewhat offensive because anybody worth their salt could look at what happened to the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac thing and see for certitude where the fault lies.
But this is dump on President Bush time, this is dump on the Republican Party time, and for the life of me, I don't know why people in the Republican Party wouldn't stand up and say, look, here's the truth about this.
I mean, Chris Shays might have been able to save his seat in Congress, but he didn't want to be partisan.
And I who knows why Republicans or Republicans.
And the next question didn't you folks brank the bank over the last couple of years?
Yeah.
Unfortunately, there was too much federal spending over the last couple of years, and we see where it got us.
Uh if you ask conservatives what we would have done about this, Gloria, we would have stood up and tried to stop it, but there weren't enough conservatives in the House or the Senate to make a case on it.
Plus, when you're Gloria, when you're when when the president of your party uh is uh behind all the spending, it's very difficult for members of the party in the House and Senate stand up and oppose him.
Uh that just doesn't happen much.
Aren't even some of the most conservative economists now advising spending as a way to get ourselves out of this hole.
Depends on what kind of spending, Gloria.
Consumer spending is the fastest way to get us out of this, and therefore what we conservatives would do would be to cut taxes.
If we had our way, we'd wave a magic wand in front of the president select, and we'd have him cut the corporate income tax rate.
We would have him cut the capital gains rate.
At the very least, we would have him say definitively, Gloria, that there will be no tax increases for the next two years.
Give some stability and cut the capital gains rate, and maybe cut the top personal rate just a point and a half.
You want to you want you want to generate an economic rebound, Gloria.
It has to be done from flyover country, not from inside the beltway.
And the only way we're gonna generate more spending is if more people get hired, and if more people have more disposable income, not because the government sent them a check, they're just gonna save it, but because they're earning it.
And they're keeping more of it because their taxes go down.
So there she has great questions.
And answering as a conservative, not as a Republican, is quite easy.
We'll be back.
By the way, one more thing to Gloria Borger and her great questions in her CNN piece.
Yeah, the Republicans did break the bank in federal spending.
There's no question about it.
But isn't it interesting to note, though, that at the time the Republicans were breaking the bank, the Democrats are out there complaining they weren't spending enough.
Oh, whatever it was.
A still said Republicans are making draconian cuts.
The Republicans are hearting uh hurting the uh the little guy.
So forth.
Gloria, look, this you can't, you you, you're, you're you talk about deregulation.
The banks were allowed to diversify in the 90s in a bill sponsored by Democrats, voted into law by Clinton.
That was okay, right, since diversification is saving a lot of banks right now.
But what Republican deregulation is she talking about?
Government policies led to this disaster.
Everybody is making attention, knows it.
It said the drive-by's the Democrats aren't going to admit it because that would be to harm themselves, and more government policy is making this worse.
Officials in the government from the government of California, ladies and gentlemen, have announced plans to investigate the Mormon church over their role in the passage of Proposition 8.
Proposition 8 in California's, you know, one big, it defined marriage as a union between mankind and womankind.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission.
Why do you need one of those when you have the First Amendment?
Well, I know who else is going to do the Inquisitions, but why are there inquisitions when you have a First Amendment?
And the First Amendment, a free speech clause was intended for all speech, but primarily aimed at political speech.
Anyway, the CFPPC said that a complaint by a gay rights group was enough to drive the investigation.
The executive director, Roman Porter, said the decision to investigate the Mormons does not mean that any wrongdoing has been predetermined here.
So we are to be comforted, ladies and gentlemen, by the fact that Roman Porter won't nail a Mormons to the cross just yet.
He has to wait till the investigation is complete to do that.
The loan complaint giving the state of California an excuse to investigate the church claims that the Mormons didn't report the value of work that it did to support Prop 8.
Now remember, liberal bloggers and a bunch of gay rights activists were out there calling black people the N-word for supporting prop aid in large numbers.
Roseanne Barr called blacks ignorant and said their clergy was corrupted.
So here we are on the verge of celebrating Thanksgiving, inspired by pilgrims who came to the new world in search of religious freedom, and California's holding an inquisition of a religious group who dared to voice political opinions.
Very, very fitting.
For the state of California.
Now, if they're found guilty, and is there any doubt?
What is this if?
They're already guilty.
They're guilty when they wake up.
They're guilty when they breathe.
If found guilty, maybe the Mormons should be required to admit that they're heretics.
Maybe the Mormons should be required to denounce their religion or face burning at the stake.
California's serious about this prop eight business, folks, and either the will of the people out there is not ungonna stand.
And they fear the Mormons were right at the root of this evil of defining marriage as that between mankind and womankind.
But the liberals face a real quandary here, folks, the way I see this.
You got this Inquisition going on out in California, led by a guy named Roman, investigating Mormons, ignoring the use of the N-word by gay activists aimed at blacks, ignoring the oral utters of one Roseanne Barr.
And now that what what what to do with Rose Edward?
What what to do with the blacks?
You can't, I mean, especially, you can't.
I mean, you can't.
You just can't.
I mean, in the public, you can't.
You know, these.
You can't blame them.
You got you just you just can't.
The only public lynchings are going to be allowed, in this case, will be the Mormons.
Oh, what a sob story here.
What's from CNN again?
Uh, students to commentary by Campbell Brown.
Students feel the economic pitch.
Uh pinch, a pinch.
Uh just so sad.
It's so hard for our students out there.
They too are feeling the economic pinch.
Of course, it'd be crazy to um for our esteemed universities to lower tuition, right?
I mean, that we know that won't happen.
We'll have to have another government program here to help the students feeling the economic pinch.
