Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I kid you not.
He did.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright in a triumphant return to the pulpit, ladies and gentlemen, at the Trinity Church in Chicago this past Sunday, of course, this past Sunday was Pearl Harbor Day.
Here is what the Reverend Wright said about December 7th.
He said today is December 7th, the day that this government killed.
Over 80,000 Japanese civilians at Hiroshima in 1941, two days, before giving an additional 64,000 Japanese civilians at Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on innocent people.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a triumphant return.
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome.
Great to have you here.
It is the one and only EIB network and the Rush Limbaugh program and the sitcom continues, ladies and gentlemen, unabated.
Barack Obama, the president-elect, poor guy, I believe him.
I I think I think I heard Sawyer's press conference today, and I Obama said he had no knowledge, had no idea any of this was going on.
I think we have no choice but then to believe the president's elect.
Look, ladies and gentlemen, this man uh tough road a hoe here.
Uh this man is walking a straight line in a crooked world.
Uh he is able to walk on the cesspool, that is Illinois and Chicago politics without being touched by it.
You would think you would think the way they're starting to talk about this now that Ron Blogoyevitch was starring in one flew over to Cuckoo's Nest instead of being a tr casting director in a sitcom.
But that's exactly what he is.
I mean, everybody.
Everybody on television is saying now that uh Ron Blogoyevitch is a nut.
And this is the defense.
This is what they're setting up.
This is exactly how the Clintons did it.
The nuts and sluts defense.
In this case, the nuts defense.
Blogoyevitch, we can't believe anything Blogoyevitch says.
He's a nut.
I mean, he might have said it, but he's insane.
The drive-bys have picked up on this.
We have a montage from yesterday and last night.
Hometown folks use words like sociopath, delusional and compulsive to describe their governor.
It was a delusional aspect, clearly, to Blagojevich.
He's delusional.
The delusional nature of Blogojevich.
The governor was delusional.
I've been told by people for some years that he was a little on the uh touch side.
He has a long reputation for being a little weird.
These quotes from him do not suggest mental balance.
Literally crazy governor.
The notion that the governor Bagoyovich thought he might get uh appointed to pastorship is just uh you know it's like smoking glue or something.
This is the act of a madman.
This is what you call insanity.
How off his rocker he was to be talking the way he was.
Obviously, this guy Blagoevich is crazy.
He ought to plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
That's probably what he's going to do.
That was Bob Schrum.
Do you hear how this is all being set up now?
The only problem here is that Blogoevich is starring in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and he's refusing to resign.
He's not going to go away.
He's in effect, he's flipping all of these people off.
Now, Obama pretended that Jeremiah Wright was acting like a raving lunatic when Wright's sermons came to light.
Uh, and and Jeremiah Wright correctly noted that Obama was just saying what a politician had to say.
That is, Obama knew damn well what Wright was all about.
Wright was shocked that things that he had been saying for 20 years were now somehow controversial.
He got rich, he got famous with his anti-American racist rants.
His uh buddy Obama thought they were inspirational for years.
So what happened?
I mean, Blagoevich, like heirs like Wright, had gotten used to life in Illinois.
No one had complained until Obama put him under the microscope.
Wright airs Blogoyevitch hot stuff until Obama ran for president.
Maybe they were.
Do you really there is a trail of destruction?
There is a tail, a trail of destruction that Obama leaves behind wherever he goes.
And it but I believe firmly, folks, none of it involves him.
I I don't think any of it touches him.
But it's just amazing.
Utter destruction.
The guy's a one-man wrecking crew.
He's leaving Illinois and Illinois is now one.
It's what it's always been for everybody to see.
Blagojevich is ready for the funny farm.
Jeremiah Wright's in the funny farm.
Bill Ayers is being interviewed by Chris Matthews on PMS NBC.
And Matthew says, you know, you agitate your way, I agitate my way.
As though there's some sort of mutual respect.
Mm-hmm.
Who did I say this about?
Who else did I say this?
Well, that's true.
And Clinton does leave a path of destruction, or he did too.
Clinton, I mean, Clinton destroyed people's lives.
And Obama here is uh doing the same.
Well, but but I I firmly believe I believe the president's elect when he says he had nothing to do with this.
Uh, and he knew nothing about this.
I mean, he said he knew that Blagoyovich was trying to make a deal.
Um, he said that.
Said he was not amenable to any deal making, which means he had to know that deal making was going on.
We don't know why he didn't report this to the authorities, and nobody in the watchdog media asked him about it at his uh at his press conference uh today.
Meanwhile, there's a story here from CBS Chicago.
Some question Blagoevich's mental health.
Chicago resident Meg Olson.
Well, we think he's nuts.
He has some kind of mental problem that he that he could have the audacity to do such a thing.
Could it be, asks Jim Williams of Chicago Eyeball News, CBS 2.
Could it be that Blogoevich has a mental illness that has impaired his judgment?
Dr. Daniela Schreier is a forensic psychologist at the Chicago Scrual of Professional Psychology.
She does not see any signs of mental illness in the public blogo, but she does believe he has sociopathic traits.
We're just talking about traits here.
She says, we're not talking about full-blown diagnosis.
But certainly there's the same sense of entitlement, the same sense of thinking I'm superior.
I can do whatever I want.
I'm not going to be caught.
Sounds exactly like Clinton disease.
Could a claim of mental illness be Blogoevich's best defense in court?
CBS II Eyeball News legal analyst Irv Miller said, Well, there's a difference between being crazy and being legal legally insane.
Miller says he doesn't expect Blogoevich's attorneys to even try that defense.
So you see how they're setting this up.
I hope Blogo understands what's going on here.
He is being hung out to dry.
He is the only corrupt official in Chicago, but not even he is corrupt, he's insane.
He's a sociopath.
Therefore, he's not responsible for what he's doing.
Mr. Snerdley says I might want to explain to some of you what is wrong with uh Jeremiah Wright's statement in his triumphant return to the pulpit last Sunday at the Trinity Church in Chicago.
He said today, December 7th is the day this government killed.
80,000 Japanese civilians Hiroshima, 1941.
Two days before giving an additional 64,000 Japanese civilians the bomb at Nagasaki, dropping nuclear bombs on innocent people.
Quote unquote.
If you did attend the public schools, December 7th, ladies and gentlemen, is not the day we dropped a bomb on anybody, nor is December 5th or December the 9th the day we dropped a bomb on anybody.
December 7th is when bombs were dropped on us at Pearl Harbor.
It is when Imperial Japan attacked us out of the dawn sky on a Sunday morning in Honolulu.
We didn't attack anybody on December 7th.
You have to wonder, Obama listens to a guy 20 years preaching from the pulpit of the Trinity Church, whose command of history is such that he thinks December 7th commemorates the day that the United States bombed Hiroshima.
In fact, listen to this the Chicago Tribune account of Wright's sermon makes his error sound like a political decision.
Noting the date, December 7th, which marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Get this.
Sturdley, you've got to listen to this.
This is the drive-by, so this is how they do this.
So you got Jerry and his triumphant return, and he's out there, and he's claiming December 7 is when we killed 80,000 Japanese at Nagasaki.
Or Hiroshima.
Here's how the Chicago Tribune reports it.
Noting the date, December 7th, which marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Reverend Wright instead chose to focus on the thousands of Japanese civilians who died four years later when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
Thank you.
It's a sitcom, ladies and gentlemen.
Now forget the fact that the Obamas listened to this guy.
The exigencies of national politics have rescued them from Wright's silliness.
This is just this is just hilarious.
Wright chose instead, as though he knew what he was saying is wrong, but he wanted to focus.
Okay, so he chose instead to highlight what?
American killing innocent people.
This is after we had been attacked.
Those two bombs ended the war and gave us victory and led to Imperial Japan becoming a free and democratic nation.
Good grief to have to constantly teach American history because American liberals continue to botch it briefly.
Brief time out.
We'll be back and continue after this.
This folks, it's it's just too good.
So I'm watching PMSNBC.
There's a discussion between the infobabe from the Washington Post and uh David Schyster from MSNBC, and they're discussing Valerie Jarrett.
Now, Valerie Jarrett was Obama's original pick for his Senate seat.
And out of the blue, and this is all made clear in the complaint that was released by Patrick Fitzgerald.
Out of the blue, Valerie Jarrett withdrew her name.
And so people have been going, whoa, whoa, what explains this?
Well, let me tell you how the drive-by's are explaining it.
Well, Valerie Jarrett is completely up and up, and she's very, very savvy.
And when she realized what was going on, that Blanco was attempting to sell the Senate seat.
She wanted no part of that because she's so up and up.
And she went and she told Rom Emanuel.
And then Rom Emanuel went and tipped off Fitzgerald.
And that's how this whole thing got started.
And it dovetails with the New York Times story yesterday, thank God for Barack Obama.
Remember that one for signing the ethics bill three months ago that led to all this falling down on the head and shoulders.
This guy looks like a cabbage patch doll, by the way, Blogoevich.
I've been trying to, he reminds me of something ever since I've been looking at him closely.
He looks like a cabbage patch doll.
Nevertheless, so the the uh the wagons are being circled here.
Logoyovich is insane.
He's a sociopath.
Nobody can believe this.
Valerie Jarrett's up and up couldn't handle anything.
When she found out what was going on, she pulled herself out of there and told Rom.
And Rom went out there, and he told Fitzgerald, and of course, this was put forward by David Schyster.
And Kornblut said, well, I don't know.
They were doing a lot of guesswork here because we really don't know yet.
But that sounds very plausible.
These are journalists.
By the way, uh bouncing off of the Obama and Blogos story with uh Barry hardly knowing Obama.
That's another thing you've you've seen that out there.
Oh, I didn't really know him that well, except for when I helped him become governor.
John Fund has a piece today, and here are the uh relevant paragraphs.
One reason for Obama's reticence may be his close relationship with the powerful Illinois Senate president Emile Jones.
Mr. Jones was a force in Obama's rise in 2003.
The two men we heard about this guy yesterday in that AP story.
Remember that?
AP did a long story on these questionable associations that Obama's had all these years.
We heard about Jeremiah Wright for the first time yesterday.
We heard about Blogoevich yesterday.
We heard about William Ayers.
We heard about Tony Resco.
The AP told us about this.
Oh, they got around to it late.
I thought they had vetted all this stuff before, but I was wrong about that.
We heard about all these guys yesterday, and Emile Jones as well.
In 2003, Emil Jones and uh and Obama talked about Illinois' soon-to-be vacant U.S. Senate seat.
As Emile Jones has recounted the conversation, Obama said to him, You can make me the next U.S. Senator.
Jones said, got anybody in mind?
Yeah, me.
Starting in 2003, Jones worked to burnish Mr. Obama's credentials by making him lead sponsor of bills, including a watered-down ban on gifts to lawmakers.
In 2002, Mr. Obama turned up to help Blagojevich, a staunch ally of Mr. Jones, win the governor's mansion.
Rom Emanuel, Mr. Obama's incoming White House Chief of Staff, told the New Yorker earlier this year that six years ago he and Mr. Obama participated in a small group that met weekly when Blagoevich was running for governor.
We basically let out the general election.
Barack and I and these uh these two other participants.
Blagojevich won, obviously, but long the forelong problems surfaced in 2004.
Zalwinica Scott, the governor's inspector general, and his administration's efforts to evade merit selection laws exposed not merely in ignorance of the law, but complete and utter contempt for the law.
Nonetheless, Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2006.
But here's the point.
But helped him get elected governor.
Now, if Blagojevich has a mental problem, if Blagojevich is a sociopath, as they are all now saying in Chicago and in the drive-by media nationally.
Obama and Ram Emanuel seem not to notice it over the last six years.
While they provided key help to get Blagoevich elected in the first place, and then to help him get re-elected.
They practically ran his campaign.
They didn't know that he was insane or a sociopath then.
It's only now that this, ladies and gentlemen, has come to light.
Moving now to Washington, D.C., this is from the Chicago Sun Times, a gossip column by Michael Sneed.
President elect Obama has asked to do something unprecedented.
The White House guest house is called Blair House.
It's across the street from the White House.
Traditionally, the president select and his family move in there on January the 15th, five days before the inauguration.
Obama asked to move in on January 2nd.
The White House has rejected the Messiah's request to occupy Blair House on January 2nd.
Obama wanted to move his family and his transition team to Blair House two weeks before the president's elect historically moves in there on January 15th.
A source told Michael Sneed at the Sun-Times, there were reportedly two reasons for the request.
Obama's kids start scruel in early January.
Plus the move could be interpreted as a New Year's symbolic gesture showing the president-elect in a presidential capacity across in the White House on January 2nd, the day after New Year's Day.
Blair House nixed the request.
It was a polite rejection.
But Blair House nevertheless was appalled at this break and breach of protocol.
An Obama spokesman told Michael Sneed they were told Blair House had guests until January 15th.
Sally McDonough.
Spokesman for the First Lady Laura Bush said respectfully we are keeping transition conversations quiet, but January 15th is historically the time when incoming presidents occupy Blair House, which is the president's guest house.
So they said, Nope, you can't come in here.
Now, what is you might say, so what's the big deal?
I watched Obama's press conference today, and I, as I told you people earlier, I didn't listen to what he said.
Because what he says doesn't matter.
In terms of his, you know, we're all looking for the day when his supporters wake up and realize what's happened.
It's there's got to be a long time for that to happen, folks.
We got much bigger problems than worrying about when his idiot voters figure out what he is and what they did.
I listened to how he said what he said, and I observed Obama and the way he comported himself.
And I noticed this guy.
Remember, I speculated some uh few days ago, ten days, two weeks.
This guy, I think, is more interested in just being president than doing things.
I know he's got a big leftist agenda, don't misunderstand.
But he's caught up in the notion of being, and he was standing there like he thinks he is royalty.
And he had he had his eyes looking almost at the ceiling at rather than directly at people as he was making his comments, stuttering through them on the Bugloyevitch matter.
This guy asking to go to Blair House, he thinks he's royalty.
I am struggling, uh, ladies and gentlemen, valiantly here to keep a straight face, while sharing with you the information of the day.
For example, Barack Obama who announced yesterday that when he takes the oath of office, we'll use all three names uh because it's traditional.
So he'll be sworn in as Barack Hussein Obama.
I wonder if McCain will denounce him for using his own middle name.
Anyway, at his press conference today, Barack Hussein Obama announced Tom Dashell as his new Secretary of Health and Human Services.
What was funny about this?
Now remember, Dashell's wife is a huge lobbyist.
Dashel, when he lost his Senate seat, became a lobbyist.
Obama said no lobbyists in my administration.
He just hired one.
Tom Dashel.
But that's not even the funny part.
He said that Tom Dashel can reach across the aisle.
Tom Dashel is bipartisan personified.
He is the foremost health care expert in the country.
Tom Dashell was the most partisan man in Washington.
The only time he reached across the aisle was when it was to pluck Jim Jeffords away from the Republican Party.
When the Republicans led by Trent Lott decided to go, we had we had a what was it, a 50-50 uh majority and a lot agreed to share power on committees, an equal number, even though the vice president gave us the tie vote, so we officially had 51 when it came down to it.
And Dashell said, Oh, really?
You're gonna be that good?
Okay, then he went to Jeffords, who uh, as long as we're talking about insane and so forth.
By the way, speaking of insane, Pelosi's insane.
Harry Reid's insane, we may be insane.
Isn't it insane to think that Pelosi and Reed can run the auto business?
Well we we are in the middle of a of a sitcom here that's turning into a Greek tragedy.
I thought Hillary Clinton was the nation's foremost expert in health care.
Can you imagine how she's gonna react to this when she hears that Dashel?
And of course, Obama said, he said, I know what you're thinking.
When we're spending so much money on other things, how can we go ahead and spend money on health care?
That's not the question.
The question he said is how can we afford not to?
So get ready.
Also, here's Jeremiah Wright from the pulpit, triumphant return, Trinity Church in Chicago this past Sunday.
Today is December 7th, the day that this government killed over 80,000 Japanese civilians at Hiroshima in 1941, two days before killing an additional 64,000 Japanese civilians at Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on innocent people.
you hear the applause there in Obama's church?
People applauding this, and of course, remember now the Chicago Tribune reports he chose on Pearl Harbor Day to focus on American atrocities.
Not is this idiot no history, but he chose to focus.
Have you ever noticed, by the way, ladies and gentlemen?
When Democrats are in power, it's always America dropped bombs, or the United States dropped bombs.
It was never Harry Truman, it was America dropped, or America did whatever.
America put Japanese in interment camps, not FDR.
America boycotted the Olympics, not Jimmy Carter.
But it was Bush who attacked Iraq.
It was Bush who put people in Gitmo.
It was Bush who authorized torture.
It was Bush.
Who laughed at what happened at uh at uh Abu Ghraib?
So these things you have to study the media, you have to know how to read the stitches on the fastball.
What is the standard for insanity since they're now trying to lay this off on poor old Lagoyovich?
How about being delusional to the extent that you think that a Congresswoman from San Francisco and a senator from Searchlight Nevada know better how to run the American automobile industry than the people who live and breathe it?
Isn't it somewhat deranged, delusional, and crazy to think that Pelosi and Reed can run the automobile industry?
Isn't it somewhat crazy to think that Barney Frank can run the financial industry as the banking queen?
Isn't it delusional to think that obviously destructive liberal policies had nothing to do with this problem?
See, I think that Blagoevich is just as normal as any other liberal Democrat politician.
They're just trying to say that he is insane and delusional as a means of covering this whole thing up and sweeping it away.
And I know that there are people on our side who are saying, let's just bide our time here.
And let's just wait.
The Fitzgerald investigation is going to go on and on and on.
There's already a hundred pages here and a hundred hours of tape.
We don't know what else is on these tapes.
Let's just be patient.
We're going to Don't People understand that what's happening here is an attempt to make all of that irrelevant because the guy behind it needs to be fitted for a little white strait jacket and visited by the guys that drive the little yellow bus wearing the white coats and head him off to the funny farm.
So that anything that happened here is rendered irrelevant.
I made a prediction on this program yesterday.
It has already come true.
Here is what I said.
In fact, I have a prediction for you.
It won't be long.
Mark my words for the next round of media spin.
And it'll go something like this.
You know, Abraham Lincoln had to deal with lots of distractions.
Abraham Lincoln had to deal with a lot of innuendo.
In fact, Jesus Christ did too.
Jesus Christ had his problems dealing with the people in his immediate orb who were corrupt.
He had his own traitors to uh to deal with.
This is nothing new.
This has happened throughout our human history.
I predicted yesterday it wouldn't be long before the same thing was said.
Let's go to the tape.
David Rodham Gurgen did it.
He didn't use Christ or Lincoln, he used Harry Truman.
Last night on Anderson Cooper 180, Cooper said, Look, even if there aren't direct connections, do you think in some way probably in conservatives' minds taints Obama or links him to Chicago-style politics clearly there's a strain of Chicago politics of corruption?
It's important to remember history, Anderson.
Harry Truman was a great president.
Harry Truman was a product for the Pendergas machine, a famous machine in the 1930s and 40s in the state of Missouri.
And a lot of people thought, well, he must have the paint of corruption.
He wasn't.
He was an honest man who came out of a corrupt system.
And I think that we've always regarded him as one of our best and most honest presidents.
So I think it's unfair to say that about Obama, because he comes out of this milieu, which has a lot of this corruption, that he himself, he seems to have come out of this with a lot of innocence.
There you have it.
That's David Rodham Gergen, ladies and gentlemen.
Basically saying what I said to open the program, Obama.
He is walking a straight line in a crooked world.
He is able to walk on the system.
That doesn't sound like laughter.
Well, you know why it doesn't sound like laughters, because we had to download this in the internet because our sound effects guy can't be found.
Oh, you got a couple more.
Well, here, let's just audition the laugh tracks right now.
Play the couple more.
Let's hear one, right.
All right, let's okay, okay.
what's the second one?
Like number two.
All right.
Okay, we're gonna put this to the test now.
Play number two.
Play Mr. David Rodham Gurgen again and put these laugh tracks in when appropriate.
I shouldn't have to tell you when that is.
It's important to remember history, Anderson.
Harry Truman was a great president.
Harry Truman was a product of the Pendergas machine, a famous machine in the 1930s and 40s in the state of Missouri.
And a lot of people thought, well, he must have the paint of corruption.
He wasn't.
He was an honest man who came out of a corrupt system.
And uh, I think that we've always regarded him as one of our best and most honest presidents.
So I think it's unfair to say to that about Obama because he comes out of this millionaire, which has a lot of this corruption, that he himself, he seems to have come out of this with a lot of innocence.
Okay, so that's we're still in the experience.
See, my problem is I can't this this stuff does not sound like laughter to me at all, which is why I got fooled by the first one.
So you guys have to tell me because this this just sounds like this this sounds like applause to me.
I can't tell anybody's laughing in this bite.
Um so I you know, my my question about Gergen is is CNN paying him to be a joke?
Or does it just come naturally to him?
See, what's happening to the drive-by is they are all becoming jokes.
They are making abject fools themselves, just like David Shyster today with Ann Cornblut.
They don't know beans yet about what happened.
All they've got's the various denials.
But now they're spreading the rumor, the spreading the word that Blogoevich is insane, that he's a sociopath.
And then that to take the cake to explain why Valerie Jarrett, who Obama really wanted to get his Senate seat and who really wanted the Senate seat, why she pulled out.
Well, it's obvious, even though they don't know anything.
It's obvious that she got wind of what was going on that Volgoych was trying to charge money for this.
And she's so up and up, and she's so smart that she wanted no part of this.
And she ran straight to Rahman.
And Rom Emanuel said, Well, that's outrageous.
That is not done in the Democrat Party.
We do not pay and charge people for Senate seats and patronage.
And I'm gonna go to the U.S. attorney and I'm gonna get this shut down.
And Cornblut said, Well, that's you know, we're just guessing here, Mr. Shyster, but that sounds entirely plausible.
So they're making jokes of themselves.
And this is going to continue.
And they wonder why they are losing circulation, why they're having to file for bankruptcy.
The half of their audience in newspapers and network news that still have jobs and therefore earn money to patronize advertisers are the people they are alienating.
The people that don't have jobs, the people that can't patronize their advertisers, and the businesses that no longer want to advertise in the papers because it doesn't work, are the very people being alienated by the drive-by media.
Quick time out.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Ha, how are you?
Talent on loan from God, ladies and gentlemen.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
We start on the phones in Rockford, Illinois.
This is Kevin.
Hello, nice to have you here, sir.
It's a great honor, Russ, to speak with you.
Appreciate that, sir.
Okay, uh, yesterday on a local Chicago radio station, they briefly mentioned Talk of Lisa Madigan, the Illinois Attorney General of uh using an obscure law to remove uh the uh governor uh rather than to have him impeached, and I if they do that, uh they're gonna it's not a cover-up, but they're gonna stop the trial, which would be required if they have an impeachment.
And if you know anything about Illinois politics and Chicago Chicago politics, you know everybody's tied in together.
And if they have an impeachment, they're gonna have to throw this stuff out there.
There will not be an impeachment.
There will not be a trial, there will not be a continuing further federal investigation after January twentieth.
What the most likely thing to happen is that Blagoyovich will be transferred to a mental state hospital at some point in late January or February when he refuses to resign, they'll go into his office, grab him out of there, and his wife, who apparently cusses up a storm.
I mean, she's um she's she's they're they're going after her now as somebody who is also unstable.
Uh, and then they'll move the uh the two Blogevitch kids probably to Washington to Sidwell Friends, where the uh Obamas will nurture them uh and raise them to uh to adulthood.
It's the only decent thing to do.
Uh Blagoyovich doesn't know this yet, but even if he's got incriminating news, if he's got incriminating information, if he's got proof that somebody you know suggested this to him and that this is goes beyond him, it ain't gonna matter because he's a sane.
He is a lunatic, he is a sociopath, and he is delusional.
This was established yesterday and last night in the media, and it continues to be established in Chicago.
And I assume the one name that nobody ever mentions in any of this, but you know, is is is the is the Grand Poopah as Mayor Daly.
Now, again, don't misunderstand, and you can confirm this for me, Kevin.
It's not that Mayor Daly orchestrated any of this and said, I want you to do this and do this.
It's that nothing happens there that he doesn't know about.
That's absolutely correct.
If something does happen that he doesn't know about, whoever's doing it isn't going to be doing it for very long.
But Rush, we all know that the governor is not insane.
He's just a typical Illinois Democratic politician.
Well, it's like was like Pelosi and Reed.
I mean, they have to be insane to think they can run the car business.
We have to be insane to think they can.
We're all insane.
This is a sitcom of the insane.
I don't think I don't think God's writing this anymore because God is not this God is not cruel.
And this is getting beyond insanity.
This is getting beyond sitcom.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is getting to the point of becoming a tragedy.
Well I want to apologize to God for assuming that he had authorship of this sitcom.
I knew better than that.
We have free will.
We're doing this on our own.
Uh this is obviously Jim Burrows, my prolific director and writer in Hollywood that's got a hand in this.
Uh, because he's just a he's a great comedian.
He w he he makes he's the guy that makes Hollywood funny.
Uh, and he's turning Chicago politics now funny from deadly.
Anything else you wanted to say about this, Kevin, or did I, as host about wrap it up?
Well, you you said it all, but I would like to give you a big oora here from Rockford and from everybody out there listening.
Kevin, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Where are we going?
Myrtle Beach.
There is no uh Doug from Myrtle Beach.
Welcome to the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, right?
Yes, sir.
Great to have you on the program.
Thank you, Make Itos.
I wanted to comment about the uh notion of appointing an outsider as a car.
And that is that the person that was at the helm of General Motors prior to uh Rick Wagner was a man by the name of Ron Zarella that had uh come to General Motors from uh Bausch and Laum and had uh no automotive experience.
