Time Text
You know, it's even worse for the kids out there than I knew, ladies and gentlemen.
Greetings, and this is it live from the office of America's Anchorman Rushlin bought the excellence at Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here.
Our telephone number 800 28282 in the email address L Rushmow at EIB net.com.
This is from AP Obama in Atlanta state law, meant to keep teenagers out of indoor tanning booths, have not made a dent.
This, according to a news study, disappointing doctors hoping to reduce deadly skin cancers.
Researchers say it's not clear why the laws failed, but pointed to lax enforcement as a factor.
This is a sitcom.
It get why does any law fail?
Because people ignore it because it isn't in for because this one's stupid.
Protect the kids from just keep them out of tanning booths.
Oh, parents.
It's so tough out there for our kids.
We're doing everything we can to protect them from each other and from themselves, and they still stupidly go ahead and act like kids.
I don't know what we're gonna do about it.
Yeah, you could tax tanning bids.
I don't know, just taxing everything else.
I have an idea.
And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, in case you missed it, I announced the official policy here for all of us when it comes to union workers and so forth.
We support the workers, we do not support the unions.
We are all for the workers and the great sacrifices and contributions they make, but we are not for the unions.
As such, I myself am getting a little fed up here with all this talk now.
Chris Dodd saying the General Motors CEO should resign.
Rick Wagner.
Who the hell's Chris Dodd?
He ought to be under investigation for the Fannie Mae.
Freddie Mac subprime crisis and for his taking money and sweetheart deals from a guy his committee oversaw.
Angelo Morillo of countrywide.
Out again, there are no ethics violations possible when you are a Democrat, because your intentions are always so honorable.
But nevertheless, we're hearing all of the blame being showered on the automobile CEOs, but guess who's getting a free ride, so to speak?
And that is the head honcho of the United Auto Workers, Mr. Gettlefinger.
Shouldn't somebody suggest he resign?
Maybe we've got some Republicans in the Senate.
Maybe we have some Republicans in the House of Representatives who say, well, you know what?
The auto industry's been gummed up a little bit by the unions.
Maybe Mr. Gettlefinger ought to quit too.
He's got nothing to hang his hat on here.
The whole industry seems to be in a big quagmire problem.
Yeah, the CEOs ought to go, but Mr. Gettlefinger ought to be right behind them.
We support the workers.
But not the unions.
I have an idea.
We're into solutions here at the EIB network.
Instead of 15 billion or 18 billion dollars, whatever they're thinking about doing here for the auto industry.
Why not let the free market just give it a partial chance?
Because Congress can do anything right.
They can run this business.
I mean, they're the experts, are they not?
We're investing in Congress's final authority to do everything right, are we not?
So my idea, ladies and gentlemen, is Congress should put in an order to buy a million or a million and a half cars.
Cost 15 billion eighteen whatever number of cars you could buy for 15 to 18 billion dollars.
Buy the cars.
That's what needs to happen here, is it not?
We need to sell American cars, so Congress should go in and buy the cars, and then let Congress figure out how to sell them.
They know how to get re-elected.
They know how to raise campaign cash.
They know how to get and spend earmarks.
They know how to get away with destroying certain businesses.
Let them show us how to save one.
Go in, buy the cars, and then sell them.
That's hard work.
Selling cars is hard work.
We need the best and brightest for this.
Obviously, the dealership system isn't working.
Obviously, the way General Motors is doing it isn't working.
We need somebody to buy cars.
Congress has the money.
They're appropriating it right now, supposedly going to get a deal here, $15 billion, go out and buy cars.
Maybe Obama could move these cars on the internet to his fundraisers.
Maybe he could award a car to every one of his fundraisers who donates a certain amount of money to pay off Hillary Clinton's debt so you can go into State Department without any conflicts.
I have an idea.
I have a better idea.
Here's how Congress can sell $15 billion worth of cars.
And that is put Obama's logo or his likeness on all four hubcaps.
Or wheel covers.
So that wherever you go in America, these cars purchased by your bailout money, every one of them would have an Obama likeness on the hubcap or the wheel cover or somewhere.
Maybe make it the hood ornament.
You think those cars wouldn't sell fast?
Yeah, I mean, you um you you'd have you got even a built-in advertising slogan.
See America the Obama way.
See the USA, the Obama way.
Just bring back an old Chevrolet Jingle, see the USA in a Chevrolet.
Updated.
See the USA, the Obama way.
So let's review.
We we get Gettelfinger to resign along with the executives because he's had as big a role in screwing all this up as anybody else has, because he's part of the union.
We support the workers, but not the union.
Congress, rather than give these guys $15 billion, buys $15 billion worth of cars, trucks, SUV.
In fact, go out and buy the electric cars.
Go out and go and buy the whatever they're making out there.
The hybrids make the cars, buy the cars that you tell us we ought to be driving, and then go sell them.
Congress sells the cars.
Because that's really hard part here.
That's what really needs to happen.
Congress sells the cars.
Any problems selling the cars, offer an incentive.
Obama could offer a free car.
We're not talking trade-in.
No, no, we're not talking about you might want to trade in.
Congress will handle the details of the trade-in, give it a flat amount for your car, regardless how old, worn out, or new it is.
Forget the details, sternly.
Tom Dashell has shown us the way.
No details here.
There will be no details.
We're just going to do it.
Congress is going to buy $15 billion worth of cars.
Congress is going to sell them.
If you have a trade-in, trade it in.
Take whatever they give you.
Buy the new car.
We'll equip it with Obama wheel covers or hubcaps so you can see the USA the Obama way.
Obama could even buy some of the cars himself to offer his incentives to fundraisers and donors who help retire Hillary Clinton's campaign debt so she can go into the State Department unconflicted.
No details, just do it.
You can bail them out or buy them.
Now what they need to do is sell cars.
Now get this.
Another reason that Gettlefinger needs to go.
This is a story's story.
This is from the Los Angeles Times.
And it is from December the 6th.
Um, I should tell you, you know, there's a story in the stack here, because I think this guy comes, this writer comes from a low-income family.
Now you might be asking, why would I say anybody comes from a low-income family?
Because we have there's research out there.
Have I found it?
Um there's research out there that the different stack too, and I've got it in color here in this stack.
I'm looking for it here.
The details of this are Ah, ah, here we go, found it.
New research from the University of California at Berkeley shows that the brains of high-income children function differently compared to the brains of low-income children.
The study of normal nine and ten-year-olds who differed only in socioeconomic status showed detectable differences in their prefrontal cortex.
That is the front part of the brain responsible for so-called executive functions, like personality, decision making, and social behavior.
Half of the children were from families with low incomes, mean household income of 27,192 bucks, and half from families with high incomes, a mean income of $96,000.
For each child, the researchers measured brain activity while he or she was engaged in a simple task, watching a sequence of triangles projected on a screen.
The subjects were instructed to click a button when a slightly skewed triangle flashed on the screen.
In some cases, children from low socioeconomic environments showed a lower response to the unexpected novel stimuli in the prefrontal cortex that was similar to the responsive people who've had a portion of their frontal lobe destroyed by a stroke.
What does all this mean?
It means that children who grow up in the highly privileged households don't just have money advantages, they also develop brain advantages.
The differences may become apparent in problem solving and in scruble performance.
This is in the Wall Street Journal.
It is in a blog.
And it's called This Is Your Child's Brain on Wealth.
Now there are people in the uh in the drive-by's who are trying to say that this is a wage gap issue, and it is a very, it's very unfortunate, and it's uh, and of course it's not a wage gap issue at all, has nothing to do with that.
Now the reason I mention that story is because this guy, Jonathan Cutler, who is an associate professor of sociology at Wesleyan University, has a piece.
He's got a book also Labor's Time, Shorter Hours, The UAW and the Struggle for American Unionism.
I'm convinced this guy grew up poor.
I'm convinced he's got a very underdeveloped frontal cortex.
You want to hear his idea to fix the problems?
He said the big three's real union problem is this.
If there's a hope long term for the unionized big three companies and for the UAW, it rests in dealing with the unfinished business of the 1980s, unionizing the unorganized transplants.
Jonathan Cudler.
See, only an idiot could look at this mess and conclude that the problem is that we need to unionize the companies who are making money.
We have an auto business in the South that apparently is thriving.
They are able to sell their cars for $2,000 on average less than the big three because their workers are not unionized.
Their workers have health care, their workers have all these things.
They're just not unionized.
They're not paying a bunch of people to no longer work for them.
They're not paying lifetime pension and health care benefits for people that no longer work for them.
As such, they can make cars that people apparently want and sell them for $2,000 less.
And this brainiac from the University of Wesleyan University, associate professor of sociology, says the solution is to sick the unions on the southern automobile industry so that their prices of their cars have to go up to equal the price coming out of Detroit in the Big Three.
This is an illustration of a point that I have always made.
Liberals see inequality and inequity.
And rather than raise people at the bottom, they want to punish people at the top and make everybody miserable.
The only way we can be be equal, folks, is if everybody is miserable.
Nobody, have you noticed Obama's not promising prosperity anymore?
No, it's gonna get worse.
All during the campaign, his election was going to make things all better.
Now it's gonna get worse.
Brief time out.
We'll continue.
Stay with us.
How are you?
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Here's Larry in Atlanta as we go back to the phones.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
It's great to talk to you.
Megadiddos.
I just wanted to I heard you say something about Shamblet earlier.
And the reason Shambles had such a decisive victory here in Georgia, I think, is because Obama's voters didn't come back out for the runoff.
And I hope that Shamless hasn't deceived himself as the chairman of the Republican National Committee said that Republicans down in Georgia have learned how to win elections.
Uh, because nothing could be further from the truth.
I would prefer right now that Shamless, after his stunt in August, and uh which brought him to your show right after he joined up with the Democrats and taken away the only issue the Republicans had to that point, which was the uh oil issue.
If uh if I had my way, Shamless would resign right now while we have a Republican governor, so he could appoint a real conservative to finish out his term.
Well uh uh what do you think the odds of that happening are?
Zero.
Yeah.
He likes the club that he's in, and he's not gonna give it up.
So okay, so uh you you you need to rechannel your energy because that's not gonna happen, and you don't want to go through the Christmas holidays disappointed.
Oh no, I won't.
There's something that you want to happen, isn't gonna happen.
One thing Shambless said after the uh election was we gotta return to the roots of Ronald Reagan.
He did say that.
I think see here's the thing, these guys all know.
It's just it's um there's a there's uh a couple obstacles in their in their way.
And you say the Obama people didn't show up, fine.
Uh I you know, you win elections, you lose them.
He didn't get his people out.
Obama didn't want to did not want to go down there and run the risk that they wouldn't show up even if he did go down there.
Obama's smart enough to know that people's emotional reservoirs where he is concerned, it's over.
Once Obama was elected, that was it.
The only place where this this well, not the only, but I mean the the unforgiving, he can't do anything wrong.
Barack Obama as Messiah now almost always are are exclusively exists in the media.
He's well, even if even if Obama's voters had showed up on runoff day, I st I think Shamless still would have won because uh it was just so close on uh the general election day.
Yeah, it's exactly right.
And by the way, Obama, if he couldn't throw himself at him, he threw the best he had.
He threw ludicrous out there, he threw P. Diddy, he found every rapper he could find uh to get behind this this Martin Joker.
Uh, and it's still it still still didn't work.
This, you know, it's it's that race, the uh the Gal race in uh New Orleans that got rid of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
Uh this this whole this this this whole election need not have happened the way it did.
Now I'm not crying spilt well, I am crying spilt milk, but I know we can't go back and change it.
But uh it was not, it was not irrevocably in the cards that Obama was gonna win.
Had the Republicans have we well been through this time and time again.
And well, you know, it just it just it it something that need not have happened, and everybody looks at it here as a fate accompli.
Uh here get this next call's the reason why that I'm going for this need not have happened.
Here's Jose in Miami.
Nice to have you, Jose.
Welcome to EIB Network.
I Rush, Hallelujah, finally got through to you.
Truly excellence in broadcasting.
Let me begin by saying Mr. Smugley, a true professional, a gentleman, you guy, well, you wouldn't find yourself in nothing less.
Thank God for you, uh, people like you inform and entertain us.
I come from Cuba.
Uh I lost a country that was born in fifty years ago without elections.
You know how it goes.
I see things going the same way over here right now, and I have a bunch of ideas.
I think we as individuals should group together, do grassroots, and uh try to get people like yourself influential and uh uh and uh to to uh rather up uh g gather up the uh the rest of the people and do some things.
Uh I'm not gonna take much time from you, just that if you I like to discuss some of the ideas with you, see how viable they are, because we really gotta do something and do them now.
Well, I see I I know what your question is.
Even though you haven't asked it yet.
I I know what your question is, because I I know where you're headed here.
I have several.
You want to know how do we stop all this insanity that has become this daily sitcom we're all living in, right?
That's yes, yes, yeah.
Not only the bailout, but also all these politicians, Chris Doddable, they should be like you said, investigators.
I know, I know.
You want how do we stop that?
How do we stop parents from raising their kids to be a nothing but a bunch of soak them up sponges?
Um, I I am I'm tempted to be so honest.
Folks, we're not going to be able to stop it for a while.
Elections have consequences.
We're gonna get an Obama public works program.
We're gonna get a lot of this stuff.
We're gonna get a bailout of the auto companies.
We're gonna get Chris Dodd and Barney Frank being superstars for a while.
We're gonna get it.
This is what happens.
In fact, Bill Crystal, noted conservative thinker, in his New York Times column today says, you know, we all ought to just come together and support this public works project as something worthwhile that government is doing because it's going to happen.
Opposing it is silly.
So there is a body of conservative thought that says big government for the right purposes is something we should join hands with Obama on.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh, I apologize.
We we uh stuck in our commercial break a little longer than normal by design.
It was ordered by me.
I'm having a real problem today with Mr. Snerdley.
Ever since I got here this morning, Snerdley has not stopped talking about Tony Romo and Jason Whitten and the Cowboys.
And since I'm a Steelers fan, he just he's just beside himself because he now realizes that Cowboys may not make the playoffs at all, and has just got him discombined.
He's a relatively new fan.
I mean, he's been a fan of Cowboys a long time, but just in the past couple years has he been a daily devotee of uh of Cowboys News.
I had I know, I know, Snurley.
The thing you gotta realize here is that over the long haul, there will be exceptions.
There are just certain realities in a National Football League you have to face.
One of them, one of them is, excuse me.
The Dallas Cowboys will not beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
There will be the occasional like the Super Bowl in 1995, Super Bowl 30.
There'll be occasionally one of those, but it just isn't going to happen.
The Dallas Cowboys will not beat the Steelers.
And if you if you'd have realized this going in, you would have expected yesterday's collapse.
Anyway, we're back, uh uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you here.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
We have a lot of great ones here today.
The drive-by's cannot wait for Obama to be inaugurated.
They've got to do something.
The weight is killing them.
What people are beginning to say is that this president-elect should be president now is the same.
People voted for change in this this strange, odd 77-day waiting period that we've imposed, in effect, between our election and our our inauguration.
The president is a lame duck and is impotent, then you want the new guy to take over.
Thank heaven we now swear to be in new president in January.
I'd be in favor of moving it up to December 1st.
The flow of news has so speeded up that from now to January 20th is still a lifetime.
We got to change the Constitution, make the president take over December 1st.
It's just incredible, folks.
They just, they just they can't stand it.
There's one little problem, and let me give you the names of the people in this montage because I want to address them directly.
Uh they were Gwen Eifel.
Uh Peter Baker, who is from the New York Times, uh, said this 77-day waiting period that we imposed.
People voted for change.
This strange 77-day waiting period.
Why, why that's it's only the Constitution.
The Constitution is nothing but a bunch of suggestions anymore.
The way that the left have been looking at the Ten Commandments for about 150 years.
David Wessel is from the Wall Street Journal.
Dan O'Rather is from HDNet.
Howard Feynman, MSNBC and Newsweek, and Chris Matthews from everywhere.
The only problem I want to address all of you who want Obama inaugurated tomorrow.
The biggest obstacle you've got to this is Obama.
Obama does not want to be inaugurated now.
A story in the Wall Street Journal.
I think, ladies and gentlemen, I, El Rushbow, am the only one who has been on top of this.
The basic the point of the story is it's it's uh Obama preserves political capital for stimulus plan.
Barack Obama wants the economy to suffer even more.
He wants the economies, he wants your perception that the economy is suffering for as long as possible.
Why?
For his own selfish political purposes.
He is not putting the country first here.
Barack Obama is helping to contribute to a negative perception of America by its citizens.
It's gonna get worse, he said yesterday on Meet the Press.
We elected Obama to make it better.
It was supposed to be magically all better simply by electing him.
Nobody forgot that somebody forgot to tell us here that the magic wouldn't happen till he was inaugurated.
I mean, now the Iranians are even upset with the Iranians are urging him to change his approach.
Mahmoud Ahmadini Zad does not like what he's doing.
The American left is all upset because there aren't any communist kook freaks in the uh in the cabinet.
For those of you on the left who are upset with Obama, because none of your people are in the cabinet, chill out, babe.
You're gonna get so much of what you want, just shut up.
If you leftists would just slink away back to your sinkholes, let Obama work his magic.
You're going to get everything you want, or as much of what you want as is possible with a Democrat president and a Democrat Congress.
You're going to have our culture blown up, you're going to get national health care, you're going to get abortion on demand anywhere, paid for by everybody else.
You're going to get doctor assisted suicide all over the country.
You're going to get your culture of death.
You're going to get the military being pared down to the point it's not worth much.
You're going to get the military fighting in places like Darfur and other words, not protecting U.S. national interests.
You're going to get another Kennedy in the Senate.
Or if you don't get a Kennedy, you're going to get a Cuomo.
If you don't get a Cuomo, you're going to get another Clinton.
You're going to have your leftist royalty in the Senate.
You people on the left need to shut up and stop embarrassing the Messiah.
He knows what he's doing.
He's putting all these figureheads out there, these centrists, to make everybody on our side, like the Bill Crystals of the world think that we can meet up and meet him halfway and go unkydorily into the future.
The bottom line is that Barack Obama wants you to think things are bad and he wants you to think they're getting worse because he wants you in a state of crisis as much as possible.
The more you suffer.
I tried to explain this during the campaign.
The more you suffer.
The more your perception is that we're going to hell.
The more you will be willing to let Obama and his magic fix everything.
Like taking over the auto industry and telling them how to run it and taking over health care.
Let me give some details here from the story by Jonathan Weissman and Deborah Solomon in the Wall Street Journal.
In last week's Democrat radio address, Obama read the text of the address in which he outlines five specific components of his plan.
He'd been stressing for weeks his desire to increase assistance to homeowners.
Point that he reiterated Sunday, and then to reporters as he introduced his choice for Secretary of the VA, Eric Shinseki.
For more than an hour on the conference call, the people familiar With the situation said that Treasury and Federal Reserve staff outlined the three main ideas under discussion a modification of the proposal pushed by the FDIC, a plan to bring down interest rates, and a proposal championed by the Fed to buy distressed mortgages.
When they had finished outlining the proposals, Treasury staffed asked the Obama age for their impressions.
The Obama aides demoured.
They refused to endorse any of the ideas.
When asked what they would like to see or how they envisioned a foreclosure program, they were noncommittal, according to people familiar with the matter.
A person familiar with the call said the Obama aids were vague about their thoughts.
Obama aides said even before the call was convened, the administration had been warned that Mr. Obama saw the call as a chance for Treasury to brief the transition, and that Obama age were not there to offer their opinions or to express transition policy.
The aids on the call weren't of sufficient rank to have made the policy decisions that Treasury is demanding.
And so you see, ladies and gentlemen, Obama wants nothing to do with whatever proposals are hammered out now.
And frankly, neither do the Democrats in Congress.
They want to be able to hang as much of this on George Bush as they can, which means Chris Matthews and Dan Rather and Gwen Eiffel, sorry to disappoint you, but your president elect does not want the job right now because he's not interested in fixing anything right now.
He's comfortable with it getting worse right now, so that when he does take office in January, he'll have a smooth, clean, clear road in front of him to wave his magic wand and do whatever he wants.
And I think Chris and the rest of you better understand something.
He's stoking the fire of unrest.
He is turning up the heat on the notion of crisis.
It's gonna get worse.
It's gonna get worse.
It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets any better.
In fact, let me stop quoting him.
Let me find it.
We have it here in the audio sound bites.
Stick with me here.
Oh, I knew I saw it.
I thought it was headlined.
We'll find take a break and I'm gonna find it when we come back.
Sit tight, folks.
The EIB network in El Rush will back after this.
I found that sound by was right in front of me.
And I thought it was in the back of the stack, but it was in the front of the stack.
It's audio soundbite number eleven.
This on Meet the Press yesterday, Barack Obama being interviewed by uh uh Meet the Press anchor emeritus Tom Brokaw.
And Brokow said, on this program about a year ago, you said being president is 90% circumstances and about 10% agenda.
The circumstances now are, as you say, very unpopular in terms of the decisions that have to be made.
Which are the more unpopular ones the country is gonna have to deal with?
Now, the fourth layers answer, you have to understand something here.
This question from Brokaw as media guy and as a leftist, this notion, remember during the the Iraq war they were obsessed with all of us sacrificing?
They're obsessed with pain.
They are obsessed with suffering.
They don't like for certain people to have to suffer, but they think others of us should.
It's their class envy.
It's called getting even with everybody.
So when he asks this question, what's the most unpopular decision that you're gonna have to make that people are gonna have to deal with?
He wants us to have to suffer.
Here's the answer.
As tough as times are right now, and things are going to get worse before they get better.
There is a convergence between circumstances and agenda.
The key for us is making sure that we jumpstart that economy in a way that doesn't just deal with the short term, doesn't just create jobs immediately, but also puts us on a glide path for long term sustainable economic growth.
There's only one way to do that, and it isn't his way.
Government doesn't do this.
It didn't happen in the Great Depression with FDR.
It did not.
All these makework programs, infrastructure, all this jazz, it did not sustain or propel or even grow the economy.
I'll tell you why in just a second.
Here's more Obama where he says the days of pork are over.
Now, this, folks.
I'm going to be very careful here.
I don't want to call this an out and out lie.
But what the hell do you think this infrastructure spending is if it isn't pork?
It was Robert Byrd's ticket to re-election.
You can't drive through West Virginia without seeing something named for him, except a rest area.
They name the rest areas after the Republicans in that state.
You got the Robert Byrd Library, the Robert Bird Library Reading Room, the Robert Lard Bird Freeway, the Robert Bird exit ramp, the Robert Bird.
It's everywhere.
And that's how he re-elected himself.
Pure pork.
This is all Obama's talking about.
When I met with the governors, all of them have projects that are shovel ready.
And now we're going to have to prioritize it and do it.
Uh, not in the old traditional uh politics first way.
What we need to do is uh examine what are the projects where we're gonna get the most bang for the buck.
How are we gonna make sure taxpayers are protected?
Yeah.
The days of just pork coming out of Congress as a strategy uh those days are all.
It's just it's just not true.
Uh it's just this is pure pork.
It's 100% pork coming out of Washington now with this plan of his.
But he he needs to listen to his own advisor there, Tom Dashell.
He's getting way too much into detail here.
Just do the plan, Barry.
The hell with the details.
Dashell said the only way we're gonna get health care is avoid the details.
Just do it.
Worry about it later on.
Come up with a principle and do it.
Okay, what's the principle of national health care?
Socialized medicine.
Okay, right.
We now have socialized medicine in America.
Put it up for a vote.
It'll win in a house, it'll win in the Senate.
Obama will sign it, they go about doing it.
That's what Dashell's recommending.
Same thing here.
Screw all these details, Barry Babe.
Screw all this stuff about protecting the taxpayers.
We the government own all the bridges.
We the government will pay for all the we the government will do this.
Just just call it the new constitution.
Call it Constitution 2.
Call it Obama's Constitution.
Sign it into law.
Forget the details.
Bob Beckle, by the way.
Bob Beckle was on Fox News channel this morning, and the co-host Bill Hammer said, Look, Obama's talking about highways, roads, basic infrastructure.
Uh, also talking about government buildings making them greener.
More energy efficient, better broadband system for the internet.
Is this what we need, Bob?
The New Deal, first of all, is an argument about whether it worked.
A lot of it did work, but a lot of it was makework uh projects.
That's what it was, trying to get people back uh employed.
But in this case, the infrastructure needs we've got in this country and upgrading schools and doing the kinds of internet extra outreach that we need are all things that are gonna have to be done eventually anyway.
I thought Al Gore wired all the schools to the internet.
I thought that was done.
I thought he and Clinton personally ran the wires.
They got up there in the crevices and the catwalks and the crawl space.
I thought they already did that.
Or rewire them with fiber.
That's right, because we rewired it with coax.
That's what a coax gone out of business now.
Well, for our purposes.
Um, you know, I I really hate to get see people get sucked in.
What Obama is telling us, folks, is he's gonna take our money, and he's gonna spend it like any good SHICOM.
He marvels at the SHICOMs.
He looks at the SHICOM Olympics, and he marvels, look at all the infrastructure they did.
Look at all the great stuff.
Fancy way of saying Democrats are gonna be getting their names on all these projects.
Bunch of plaques, boatload of new bridges, roads, and buildings.
This is ego spending.
Remember, as I as I told, and I must say, folks, my own inimitable style.
This is quite brilliant and quite perceptive.
Barack Obama is fixing something, but not what you think.
There is a repair project underway, but it's not the U.S. economy.
And it's not the um the country at large.
What Obama's fixing is a Democrat Party that was broken by Ronald Reagan a little bit by Nixon and a little bit by the Republicans taking over the House in 1994.
FDR's interminable, unending rule of the Democrat Party was interrupted.
It was shattered.
Democrats had the House for 40 years before 94.
So all this stuff is just FDR II, New Deal II, in an attempt to repair the Democrat Party so that it once again is restored to its rightful position of power by birthright for as far as the eye can see.
I listen to Obama's infrastructure program looking like he admires the Chai Combs.
I'm convinced he's not governing from the center.
He's governing from the far east.
One hour to go, folks.
