Time Text
Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
By the way, uh, Mike Standby Audio Soundbites 29 to 31.
Great to have you here, folks.
It is the EIB network and Rush Limbaugh at 1800-282.
2882.
Email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So not very long ago, ladies and gentlemen, I received a depressing email.
Here I am in the middle of what I think is a gangbuster radio program today.
We here at the EIB Network are having literally more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And I get this email says your show is depressing the heck out of me today.
I said, What?
This this show is six.
I mean, what we're having funny.
No, it's depressing as hell.
Three exclamation points.
And I got to thinking, what about this show could be depressing.
The only thing I can think of is what I mentioned earlier.
All these stories that are out there today about how Democrat factions may block the Bamsters plans and how all these unfortunate distractions, Obama may not get everything he wants from it.
I put that into context for you.
Said, this ain't gonna happen.
This is all media drivel designed to make it look like Obama's has all these obstacles to overcome as a centrist.
That's the left wing kooks that are standing in his way when, in fact, he's going to get 95 percent of what he wants.
Now, maybe if telling you the truth about this is depressing, so be it.
Elections have consequences.
And if folks, if if you this is I said during that brilliant analysis, our side makes the mistake of reading things in the drive-by media, and if we want to believe it, we believe it, such as the BAMster having trouble, the BAMster having distractions, Democrat factions standing in his way.
If you read that stuff on the drive-by media and you get all excited, all right, all right, all right, and then I come along and set you straight.
Don't blame me.
Hell's bells, folks.
It was before we left on vacation.
And I shared with you information about how the drive-bys were wringing their hands over whether or not they ought to even be adversarial with Obama, because they just find it impossible to do.
I'll make this prediction to you.
But if it hasn't, get used to it when Obama has press conferences.
These people in drive-by's are going to apologize in advance for asking him a tough question.
Mr. President, forgive me, but Mr. President, I know that this is I really don't want to ask this, but it is what it is.
Elections have consequences out there, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
I think being forearmed with the truth uh is one of the best ways to uh forestall it and not have it.
If you're gonna sit out there and fall prey to what you want to read, what you want to believe in the drive-by media, remember who they are.
They are the drive-by media.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to rewrite house rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation.
Her polos her proposals are draconian.
Um basically she's gonna get rid of all of the rules that the Gingrich House came up with.
These rules may be voted on today.
The fairness rules they were called that were written uh around Gingrich's contract with America.
She's going to, if she gets away, Republicans will not be able to offer alternative bills.
Republicans will not be able to offer amendments to Democrat bills.
They will not even be offered the guarantee of open debate accessible by motions to recommit for any piece of legislation during the entire 111th Congress.
Nancy Pelosi is effectively gonna shut him out.
This is and this is from Nancy Pelosi, by the way, who uh after the 2006 victories was talking about the new bipartisanship, the new transparency, the new openness, and all this sort of stuff.
Now the Stalinist tactics are coming into play, and it'll be interesting to see how the Republicans deal with this.
Uh I know they wrote a letter.
Uh They wrote a letter and they signed it and asked her not to do this and so forth.
They protested it and so forth, but you can write a letter when this stuff actually happens.
I mean, I was just watching a little bit of C-span, the volume was done.
I'm reading the closed captioning.
This is you know, I probably shouldn't mention this because I don't know what Boehner was talking about.
Boehner was up there giving his speech as a Republican leader prior to Pelosi being sworn in.
And he said something, I didn't, I don't know who he was talking about.
But what I did read in the closed captioning was it was a he uh crossed the aisle and work together for the American people, and the whole place stood up and applauded.
Now, if Boehner said that and a Democrat stood up and applauded, something's wrong.
I don't know who he's talking about.
I didn't, I'm sorry I didn't catch all of it.
I don't know who it was that was being applauded for standing up and reaching across the aisle.
I don't know that it was McCain.
I don't know who McCain I have no idea.
Uh uh.
I mean if you want to get depressed, I will admit there are reasons to get depressed and angry out there.
There's no question about it, but elections have consequences.
And depression isn't going to accomplish anything, folks.
Action is, and the next set of elections is 2010.
All right, audio sound bites.
I mentioned last hour I was watching the BAMster do a little press deal after he'd come out of a meeting with his economic advisors.
And I was I turned the sound on on this, and I was a little stunned at all of the shutter bugs.
There must have been a gazillion photographers in there because the sound of the shutters and the auto wines was drowning out the BAMSE.
And he wasn't moving.
They could have had two or three pool photographers in there, take two or three pictures each, and that was it.
And I asked Cookie, I said I hope she was rolling on it.
We have some sound bites from it.
Uh here is Obama on the budget and his recovery plan as he tries to speak over the din of the camera flash shutters.
We're gonna have to stop talking about budget reform.
Uh, we're gonna have to fully embrace it.
It's an absolute necessity.
Uh and it has to begin with the economic recovery and reinvestment plan that Congress will soon be considering.
Uh we're gonna be investing an extraordinary amount of money to jumpstart our economy, save or create three million new jobs, mostly in the private sector, and lay a solid foundation for future growth.
Now he's back to saving.
He eliminated that the other day.
Now he's back to saving.
The other day was gonna create three million new jobs on Monday.
Now he's now back to creator saving.
And this, folks, I'm telling you, don't discount the possibility.
This 20% of the uh new jobs in private sector or in the public sector, government jobs, 600,000 of them.
The fastest way to get that number to that figure is the draft.
And uh, we've got some audio soundbites coming up from Rom Emanuel on that very subject.
But here's the second Obama bite.
Now, this is laughable.
This is pure 100% laughable.
My recovery and reinvestment plan will set a new higher standard of accountability, transparency, and oversight.
Uh we are gonna ban all earmarks.
Stop the tape.
The whole thing is earmarks.
The whole stimulus plan is pork.
If this bill were written in good economic times, it'd be called a giant pork bill.
This whole thing is in in effect earmarks.
Here's the rest of the soundbite.
Which individual members insert pet projects without review.
We will create an economic recovery oversight board made up of key administration officials and independent advisors to identify problems early and make sure we're doing all that we can to solve.
Yeah.
And uh now politics all of a sudden stops at the water's edge.
Now he will not discuss foreign policy till he is inaugurated.
When it comes to foreign policy, I think the need to adhere to one president at a time is particularly important.
In domestic policy, uh Democrats, Republicans, we can have arguments back and forth about uh what tax policies are gonna be uh when it comes to international affairs, uh Other countries are looking to see who speaks for America.
Right now, President George Bush, as President of the United States speaks on behalf of the U.S. government and the American people when it comes to international affairs.
After January 20th, I'm going to have plenty to say about the issue.
Oh, I am not backing away at all from what I said during the campaign.
It didn't stop you from trying to secure defeat for our troops.
When you were a candidate, all of a sudden now George Bush gets to speak for the country.
Politics stops at the water's edge.
Way to go, Bamster.
Way to way to be tough out there.
He says, I'm not gonna, I'm not backing away at all for what I said during the campaign.
Well, that would be hard to do because they didn't say anything during the campaign.
He said nothing better than anybody else I've ever heard say nothing.
How do you back away from nothing?
He's got a clean slate.
He can say whatever he wants and say he said it before, because he never said anything.
Now, this tax cut business.
I mentioned this earlier.
The tax cut uh 350 billion dollars, a portion of the stimulus plan.
Wall Street Journal analyzes this.
A key provision would allow companies to write off huge losses incurred last year.
By the way, the Republican Party loves this, and Obama's pretty smart politically.
He's talking tax cuts.
He wants to get their support on this, but it's a mistake.
I'm just telling you up front, these are not tax cuts.
This is welfare.
The vast majority of the tax cuts are not going to people who either pay taxes or earn a profit in business.
The vast majority of the tax cuts are going to go to people that don't pay taxes.
It's more it's Joe the Plumber right in front of our face.
It's the redistribution of wealth, is what's happening with Obama's tax cut plan.
A key provision would allow companies to write off huge losses incurred last year, as well as any losses from this year to retroactively reduce tax bills dating back five years.
In effect, it would entitle companies to receive cash from the government that they otherwise could not have claimed.
Now that sounds really good, doesn't it?
Except what if your company made money?
You're not included.
Picking winners and losers.
Plus, this is looking back.
It helps struggling companies with a check in the mail, but for planning purposes, it's a one-shot deal.
I mean, that's fine, but permanent tax cuts going forward would help companies plan and budget years ahead.
A second provision would entice firms to plow that money back into new investment.
The investment write-offs would be retroactive to expenditures made as of January 1st, 2000.
Are you following me on this?
Let me let me start again.
This this is the tax cut portion of the plan.
A second provision would entice firms to plow that money that they're being given by Obama back into new investment.
The investment write-offs would be retroactive to expenditures made as of January 1st this year to ensure that companies don't sit on their money like the banks are doing until after Congress passes the measure.
What is this?
This is a tax cut?
This is micromanagement.
Why all this complexity?
Don't put a toe in the water, just jump in there.
It's very simple.
Cut corporate rates to 20%, eliminate capital gains for two years, then cap them at 10%.
Just get out of the way.
Just get out of the way of the U.S. economy.
Don't start giving money.
Don't start redistributing wealth.
This is not a tax cut.
And our guys are falling for it, hook, line, and sinker.
Because they know that all you're going to hear is tax cuts.
And they're afraid they can't oppose tax cuts.
This, since Obama has opened the door to tax cuts.
What is needed here is for a bold counter proposal by the Republicans so that they can define themselves on this issue and not lose it.
Oh, President elect Obama, we are so happy you want $350 billion in tax cut in your new in your stimulus plan.
Well, let's tell you how you look, let's compromise here in some way.
Let's actually cut taxes.
Let's cut the corporate rate from 35 to 20.
Let's get rid of the cap gains rate for a couple years, period, and bring it back later at 10%.
Let's give the American people a tax holiday for a couple months.
You want money in the private sector to rebuild the economy?
Fine, put it there by letting people keep what they earn and let employment come back with these tax.
That's the Republicans, another golden opportunity.
I don't know whether they'll seize it.
If you want to get depressed over this, feel free.
I'm not.
It is what it is.
It's a golden opportunity.
This just it's this is all, folks.
All of this is typical liberal drivel designed to confuse everybody, thinking a tax cut is nothing like what it really is.
This is welfare.
This is the redistribution of wealth.
Just cut taxes across the board, get out of the way, get to work on reducing government spending instead of planning on trillion-dollar deficits year after year after year.
By the way, have you noticed the stock market has not jumped on this?
Have you noticed the stock market is not roaring and rhetoric coming back and going, whoa, boy, do we love this?
Stock market was up twenty the last time I saw it.
Stock market's not all that excited about this.
This plus on the individual side, the people are going to be getting tax cuts, they're not paying taxes.
They're going to get a couple will get a grand, a single person will get five hundred dollars, whether they're paying income taxes or not.
Now the people that are not paying income taxes are going to get a welfare check.
They're going to become tax consumers.
Joe the plumber.
I don't know.
I'm confused.
I I I at some point one thing I've read, it says that every American's going to get 500 bucks, every married couple will get a thousand.
Every.
Every.
So I may.
I may get 500 bucks.
You want it.
You can have it.
I may get 500 bucks.
Uh, bottom line here is, folks, that the the the that when you get down to the end of the day, over half the American people right now are not paying taxes, and the the bottom 50% that are paying taxes are paying something like 3% of the burden.
Well, this is going to wipe that out.
This is going to wipe that out, and those people are going to become net tax consumers.
And once you put over 50% of the country not paying taxes, you have lost the tax cut argument.
This is a brilliant mover by uh by Obama, disguised as a tax cut.
This is time for the Republicans to reassert ownership of the tax cut issue by loudly proposing a tax cut.
I just hope their fear of being critical of Obama, and that leading to the charge of racism doesn't stop it.
Investors Business Daily has a piece on this.
Outcome tax cuts.
The last line sums it up perfectly.
But cash from Washington for people who don't pay income taxes and for businesses that don't work is not tax cutting.
Instead, it's exactly what Obama, the candidate, promised Joe the Plumber, wealth redistribution.
You might think it's very good to give businesses who are losing money tax cuts.
A business losing money is a business not working.
You don't pick winners and losers in Washington, but that's what we're doing now, folks.
People have been waiting patiently on the phones, and Snurtley has lined up a bunch of good ones.
So let's go to Jerry, Kansas City.
Jerry, thank you for calling.
Great to have you with us today.
Well, thank you, sir, and happy new year.
Same to you.
Yeah, uh, just listening to what you said about the tax cut thing, and we're a one-income household.
I'm at home now, and I just don't like that idea.
I'm a writer and I earn a little money, not much, but I figure that's my money, and it shouldn't be going to anybody else not willing to work for it.
And you were talking earlier about uh Senator uh Reed, and he's going to allow Al Franken in there, assuming that he gets over the next week in Mr. Coleman's uh filing thing, but he won't seat Mr. Burris,
who you know is legitimately appointed because like it or not until the Illinois House or Senator, whoever has the right to do it, impeaches him, as you pointed out, and I don't necessarily like the idea.
He is still the sitting governor, and you know, that is one of his rights.
He wasn't right to try to sell it, but it was his right to appoint whoever meets the constitutional criteria for being a U.S. Senator.
You know, Jerry, you sound like a guy who normally doesn't agree with me, but on this occasion happens to agree with me.
Well, yeah, and I told Mr. Certainly as much when uh he put me through, and I'm glad I got to.
I tried a number of times, and people want to talk to you and vent their views, and if I only get this once to do it, I want to take advantage of it and hope I sound halfway intelligent because I honestly Well, you did.
I mean, you you passed that test.
You agreed with me.
Uh, and that there's no better way to demonstrate one's intelligence than to do that.
Thanks very much.
Great to have you on the program.
Ha!
Welcome back, Rushland Boy.
We continue now.
On the phones.
We're going to Libertyville, Illinois.
John, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Happy New Year.
They say the same to you.
You said earlier in your show that uh Rob Blagoevich had played the race card.
And I gotta tell you, I think he did something else.
I think he played you.
And if you'll indulge me for a minute, I'll tell you why.
I think that I think Rob Blogovievich knows that the big problem for Republicans is that Barack Obama is an extremely popular guy.
The Democrats have elected a black guy to the president seat, and that Republicans aren't going to have a significant minority vote for a long time.
What's the biggest?
So, you know, what's the biggest problem for you then?
Is that you have to try to convince your audience that somehow the Democrats are really a bunch of racists and the R. Wait a second.
Do you really believe?
Do you really believe when Blogoyovich appointed Burris, he's sitting there calculating what I, El Rushbow will say in another.
I actually, I actually have to tell you, I think he did.
Because I gotta tell you, I can't imagine a better thing for Rob Logoyovich than to tune into your show yesterday, and in the first two minutes, you start your show with a lie and say, Harry Reed said to Rob Logoevich, don't send me a black guy.
And all of a sudden, the subject on your show isn't what a isn't what a cruelt Roboyevitch is anymore.
The subject on your show is Harry Reed is a big racist.
I gotta tell you, you're doing exactly what Blogoevich wants you to be doing.
You've been singing the So you believe you you believe that uh you you would believe Harry Reed over Blogoevich.
I think that's the one.
See, that's my problem here.
We're talking about two Democrats.
Who the hell do you believe between Blogoevich and Harry Reed?
They're both liberals.
Liberalism is a myth and they lie.
You know who ought to be depressed today.
What did we just hear?
Blogoyovich planning all this to suck me in.
I am the last person on Blogo's mind, I will guarantee you.
You know who ought to be depressed?
It is me.
I'm the one who ought to be depressed.
My friends, I am doing brilliant radio.
And look at how many Looney Tunes don't get it.
If I had a weaker constitution, if I had less stamina, if I had less love for myself, I would be devastated.
I'd be telling myself, why bother?
Why put in all this time, all this hard work?
Why try to meet and exceed the expectations of the audience when the average Dingleberry isn't gonna get it anyway?
But I only work harder, ladies and gentlemen.
Don't tell me you're depressed, because of all the people have a right to be depressed, it is me.
Imagine if Johnny Carson got no jokes in the monologue.
Imagine if NBC brought in a bunch of idiots who had no clue what he was talking about.
Now I'm not talking about all of you in the audience.
I'm talking about some of these people that are new arrivals here.
Like obviously this guy, or he's a seminar caller plant.
If I'm gonna tell let me tell you something.
It ain't Blogo who's worried about me, it's Dingy Harry.
This guy may even be on Dingy Harry's staff for all I know.
But the guy who does pay attention to what I say is Harry Reed.
This we know.
We raised 4.2 million dollars off of what Harry Reid said.
Well, let's let's persevere here.
Uh Sean in Hermosa Beach, California.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush action ditto.
Thank you, sir.
I'm I'm uh sure everyone's aware of the stimulus, the massive stimulus package that uh Obama's going to be offering us.
Don't count on it.
Really?
Just kidding.
Well, the reason I'm calling is there's going to be an equally massive propaganda campaign that that he's going to be having in David David Axlerod's words, fanning out everyone to sell this thing.
It's going to be all over newspapers, TV.
He's got a text messaging database he can use to do this.
And perception is important.
Just like on global warming, it's it's important how people think about these things.
Precisely.
And I've discarded my public school education on the Depression.
And uh adopted an EIB education on it.
I actually live through Jimmy Carter years.
And this is a disaster in the making.
And people don't realize it.
And I think grassroots campaign.
And they won't realize it till the disaster happens.
Like I said, of course this is all uh perception.
That's that's what my purpose of my big monologue earlier in the program, all these stories about how, oh, whoa, is poor Bamster.
Everybody's standing in his way, Democrat factions and all.
He's going to get 95% of what he wants early on.
And they're going to treat it as the greatest things in sliced bread.
Folks, I'm going to make a prediction to you.
Because I've I'm already right about this.
I predicted it last year.
There's already been a story last week about how the uh experts are saying that the recession ain't gonna last nearly as long as people thought.
Within a week of Obama's inauguration, I predict you are going to start seeing stories in the drive-by uh media about how people start to feel better about the economy now.
And uh you're gonna see stories about people getting new jobs.
You it's not gonna be a lot.
It's not gonna be an onslaught, but it's gonna be the beginning.
It'll be a trickle, it'll be the beginning of what will become a tidal wave of how damned wonderful everything is.
Mark my words.
It's gonna be a it's gonna be a balance, as I said, because the Obama people want the economy to stay a little bit in crisis to enable them to keep going with their leftist agenda as uh as as far as they can.
So it's gonna be a it's gonna be a a delicate balancing act.
I appreciate the call out there, uh Sean, from ABC News.
President elect Barack Obama took big money from the guy at the center of a federal probe that has forced Bill Richardson to withdraw.
Financial records showed that the Obama campaign got more than thirty thousand dollars from California financier David Rubin.
Rubin is the target of an investigation into donations and the uh possible pay-to-play deals involving Bill Richardson, the former pick for Commiss Secretary, Commerce Secretary, uh David Rubin attended exclusive Hollywood fundraisers for Obama.
He sat at Table 17, one table away from Leonardo DiCaprio, David Katzenberg, who produces Survivor, and the comedian Chris Rock.
So uh hmm.
Uh in early September, two weeks before Rubin attended Obama's Beverly Hills fundraiser, a group of Alabamans sued Rubin's firm, and this is what we reported to you in December, or in September, rather.
No, we reported this in December, that's when it came to light, and others over multi-billion dollar bond deals.
The suit alleged that uh Rubin's company, CDR, was part of a conspiracy which defrauded citizens and with bribery and corruption.
So this guy was at Obama fundraisers and giving money to Bill Richardson.
Uh I I said earlier, when I'm watching the Senate get sworn in, it's like the bank opening the vault to the thieves, welcome them in, welcoming them in.
I mean, the I saw, oh, I saw something else about Richardson last night on television.
One of the things he asked this outfit to do, maybe not be CDR, but some outfit, he asked for some company to pick up his personal expenses at the Democrat National Convention.
Now, when you ask that, as opposed to it being offered, when you ask that, you're opening yourself up for quid pro quo.
But you know, the thing that hit me about that more than more than the possible political corruption, and this it's starting to irritate me more and more about people.
And I know some people personally are this way.
Mr. Richardson, if you want to go to the Democrat convention, pay for it your damn self.
If you want to get a nice hotel, pay for it your damn self.
If your salary doesn't give you the opportunity, go with the DNC to do it, or don't go, or stay in a cheaper place, or don't throw a big party for everybody.
What is this notion that people in politics are entitled to everybody else's money?
They're entitled to yours and ours to spend, they're entitled to lobbyists to party off of.
This is a big personal buggaboo of mine.
I I and I know a lot of people whose active life philosophy is to get where you want with connections.
Scratch your back, I'll scratch yours.
Don't do it on the basis of achievement.
Don't do it on the basis of deserving it.
Do it on the basis of connections.
Ask somebody to pay your way here, pay your way there.
Use somebody else's money.
Even if you're a big corporate titan, how about this guy that gets a $750 billion golden parachute, gets an apartment, gets access to the company plane, and is if you're given $750 billion, don't take the apartment and go get your own plane.
Do you realize how many people in our culture and at the top, the people that we elect to run our affairs, do you realize how many of them are frauds who think other people's money is theirs?
How do you think these people that make $150 grand a year in the Senate or the House live the way they do?
You know, I just, and it's not, it's not the system that's corrupt.
It's corrupt people who think of themselves as royalty who have these expectations.
And we remember Dan Rossy Rostinkowski.
We found out that he's out to dinner every night with lobbyists and whoever, and they're paying the freight.
See, this is why I could never go into politics and why I'll never have a whole lot of friends from this world, is because I will I don't accept stuff like this without an immediate payback or comedy because I don't want to be obligated.
Now, I mean, friends take me to dinner, it's a different thing.
Friends are friends, but you know, I I um I once worked for the Kansas City Royals, and I was in charge of special events, the little, you know, fireworks on the 4th of July, the giveaway items so forth.
And I had a fireworks guy call me up and offer me seasoned tickets to the Steelers on the sly if I would hire his fireworks firm.
And I went right to my boss and told him about it.
And boss said, What are you gonna do?
And I said, You have to ask.
You think this there's no way there's no way.
I'm amazed people think they can get away with this stuff.
But the problem is the people we're talking about get away with it.
If it Richardson would get away with having somebody else pay his freight at the convention, I that just so offends me.
I'm gonna go on vacation.
I think somebody else ought to pay for it.
My gosh, I'd call somebody to ask them to do it.
Talk about manners and class.
I mean, that's just off the charts, and this is who these people are.
Anyway, a brief timeout here, ladies.
Oh, one more thing about Leon Panetta.
You know, we talked about him earlier and why he got the gig here, but let me tell you something.
I don't want to hear about these objections based on Panetta's lack of experience as a spy or as an intel guy To disqualify him.
There is not one Democrat looking at this logically who can object to Leon Panetta as head of the CIA.
If we can have a commander in chief with absolutely no experience, why can't someone lead the CIA who doesn't know a peephole from the ground?
We were told having no experience as a CEO, no experience as a governor, a mayor, that was somehow a plus.
We can reject people like Sarah Palin, who is experienced.
We can reject people like Roland Burris, who is experienced, but all of us compared to Barack Obama, Leon Panetta is a grizzled veteran here, folks.
This is a Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
A lot of you people are objecting to my speculation Obama could reinstitute the draft.
Who's his chief of staff?
Ram Emanuel, right?
Let's go back to 2006.
New York Daily News Reporter Ben Smith talking to Rahm Emanuel.
Smith said, you know, I'm I meant to ask you about this universal service piece of the plank.
Can you tell me about this?
Uh how's it going to work?
Are people gonna live in barracks?
Universal civil defense training.
We were saying somewhere at the ages of 18 to 25, you will do three months of training.
There could be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint similar experience of civil uh what we call civil defense training or civil service, or some sense of uh service to country and preparation, which will give people a sense of what it means to be an American.
We propose three months.
Yeah, man, they come and says it should be poor.
I'm not gonna say it.
I ain't a whole training.
Democrat Party, he was a member of Congress 2006, talking about a civil defense training program.
Uh Ben Smith said it's a lot more than the U.S. government asks of anybody right now.
You could do it through your state National Guard to be uh the vehicle for that.
You know, the goal here wasn't to sit here and work out a piece of legislation for you.
Uh and all that, but that would be that's one venue to doing it.
Obama's talked about everybody having to go into service.
This is, ladies and gentlemen, the chief of staff for Obama.
If you think that it's a stretch, they might do something like this to create a whole bunch of hundred thousands of new uh we say federal employees.
Just remember this date, January 6, 2009, hot show.
Lots to learn here.
Uh, let's see.
What happened to the guy on um line five?
Whatever you okay, I want Ty in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yes, I'm here.
Good.
What's up?
I have I have about a minute here, so I don't mean to hurry you up, but I must.
That's good.
I can't screw it up then if I only have a minute to do it.
So that's a good way to look at it.
Um I uh own a business that uh doesn't lose money, but just barely makes enough money to keep me getting by, and I would uh uh any money that I can get from anywhere at any time is a good thing for me.
Now I know you're right about uh long-term effects of uh of uh uh rebate, me getting a check in the mail to help me out for a little bit.
Uh isn't the answer, but boy oh boy, if I get it, I need it.
Does it matter?
See, it doesn't if it's not the answer, still it's it doesn't matter, you'll take it.
If it isn't the answer, the problem is that you know you don't qualify.
You're if you're showing a profit, you're left out.
This is my point.
The businesses that work aren't gonna get anything.
Tie.
The businesses that have lost a lot of money are gonna have their losses written off.
And the people that don't pay taxes are it's called well transfer called welfare.
That's called a tax cut under Obama.
Look at this New York Times story some Bill Richardson in Santa Fe, New Mexico, staying can also be such sweet sorrow.
This is a story about how the media had no idea that all this was happening until Richardson quit.
