Time Text
Greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you, uh conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
Rush limbaugh, meeting and exceeding all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, the email address.
L Rushball at EIB net.com.
I want to go back and replay an audio soundbite this this morning in Washington, the Oval Orifice.
President Obama signing an executive order calling for the closure of Club Gitmall within one year.
Now we will not have the uh chisel sounds.
We've already chiseled this bite in marble, so you will not hear them here.
In order to affect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo.
Uh and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice.
I hereby order.
That's amazing.
And we then provide uh the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.
We will be uh is there a separate uh executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're gonna dispose of the detainees?
Is that uh we will be setting up a process uh whereby this is going to be taking place.
Okay.
Greg, is there gonna be another executive?
What are you guys doing back there?
Did you write another executive order or is this it?
That's Greg Craig, the White House counsel represented uh the father of Elian Gonzalez and uh Fidel Castro Cuba.
Also representative Bill Clinton impeachment hearings.
I didn't play this to once again highlight Obama not knowing what's going on with his own executive order.
What I did was to play it for is to illustrate it's not very FDR-like.
And I wanted to make mention of this for those in the Obama administration monitoring this program.
This isn't what you did today.
Purely political, not oriented toward the security of this country.
And I'd like to you people in New York feel safer now.
I mean, you may like your country a little more, but do you feel safer here?
We're gonna close a prison for terrorists in the interest of national security and justice.
And the foreign policy interests of the United States.
Anyway, FDR would not do this.
Remember, FDR put Japanese citizens in internment camps.
He did what he had to do in time of war to protect this country.
This is this is not FDR-like, and I had to make that observation.
Dick Morris.
A great column at the Hill.com.
I'm holding it here in my formerly nicotine state.
It was posted on January 20th, two days ago at 612 p.m.
The Obama presidency.
Here comes socialism.
Excerpts.
2009-2010 will rank with 1913 and 14, 1933 and 36, 1964-65, and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, our politics, and lives.
Just as the stars were aligned for Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson, and Reagan, they are aligned for Obama.
Simply put, we enter his administration as free enterprise, market-dominated, a laissez-faire America.
But we will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden, a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private sector priorities, and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.
Obama will accomplish his agenda of reform under the rubric of recovery.
Using the electoral mandate bestowed on a Democrat Congress by restless voters and the economic power given his administration by terrified Americans, he'll change our country fundamentally in the name of lifting the depression.
His stimulus packages won't do much to shorten the downturn, although they will make it less painful, but they will do a great deal to change Our nation.
In implementing his agenda, Barack Obama will emulate the example of FDR, not the liberal mythology of the New Deal, but the actuality of what it accomplished.
When FDR took office, he was enormously successful in averting a total collapse of the banking system and the economy.
But his New Deal measures only succeeded in lowering the unemployment rate from 23% to 13% over four years.
It never went lower, and his policies of overregulation generated such business uncertainty that they triggered a second term recession.
Unemployment in 1938 rose to 17%.
And in 1940, on the verge of the war-driven economy stood at 15%.
These data and the real story of Hoover's and Roosevelt's missteps, uncolored by ideology, are available in the book The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes.
A great book, by the way, copyright 2007.
But in the name of a largely unsuccessful effort to end the depression, Roosevelt passed crucial and permanent reforms that have dominated our lives ever since.
Social Security, Security Exchange Commission, unionization under the Wagner Act, the federal minimum wage, a host of other fundamental changes.
Obama's record will be similar, although less wise and more destructive.
He will begin by passing every program for which liberals have lusted for decades, from alternative energy sources to scrual renovations, infrastructure repairs, technology enhancements.
These are all good programs, but they normally would be stretched out for years.
But freed of any constraint on the deficit, indeed empowered by a mandate to raise the deficit as high as possible.
Obama will do them all rather quickly, but it's not his spending.
This is key.
It is not Obama's spending that will transform our political system.
It is his tax and welfare policies.
In the name of short-term stimulus, he will give every American family who makes less than 200,000 a welfare check of a thousand dollars, euphemistically called a refundable tax credit.
And he will so sharply cut taxes on the middle class and the poor that the number of Americans who pay no federal income tax will rise from the current one-third of all households to more than half.
In the process, he will create a permanent electoral majority that does not pay taxes, but counts on ever expanding welfare checks from the government.
The dependency on the dull, formerly limited in pre-Clinton days to 14 million in women and children, the aid to families with dependent children, will now grow to a clear majority of the American population.
Will he raise taxes?
Why should he, with a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be?
There's no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression.
Instead, Obama will follow the opposite of the Reagan strategy.
Reagan cut taxes and increased the deficit so that liberals could not increase spending.
Obama will raise spending and increase the deficit so that conservatives cannot cut taxes.
And when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be his evil rich Republicans.
Obama will move to change permanently the partisan balance in America.
He will move quickly to legalize all those who have been in America for five years, albeit illegally, and to smooth their paths to citizenship and voting.
He will weaken border controls in an attempt to hike the Latino vote as high as he can in order to make red states like Texas into blue states like California.
By the time he is finished, Latinos and African Americans will cast a combined 30% of the vote.
If they go by top heavy margins for the Democrats, as they did in 2008, it will assure Democrat domination until they move up the economic ladder and become Republicans.
All of this, by the way, we warned you of during the campaign.
That this is the objective of all these economic plans, the entrenchment of the Democrat Party in power in perpetuity.
That's what's being fixed here.
What was broken Was the 50-year rule of power that FDR engineered with Social Security and Medicare and all these other things.
The Republicans then botched all that by winning the Congress in 1994, and it's about the House of Representatives.
That's where the power is, that's where all spending bills originate.
White House can go back and forth.
Democrats control the Congress, as we saw in the last two years they run the show.
Therefore, this is all about empowering and retrenching the Democrat Party.
Obama will also enact the checkoff card system for determining labor union representation, repealing the secret ballot in union elections, that result will be to raise the proportion of the labor force in unions up to the high teens from the current level of about 12%.
Finally, he will use the expansive powers of the FCC to impose local control and ownership of radio stations and to impose the fairness doctrine on talk radio.
The effect will be to drive talk radio to the internet, fundamentally change its economics and retard its growth for years hence.
I firmly believe this is going to be attempted, but not under the words fairness doctrine.
I have seen the Obama White House website where they are going to attempt to affect this.
And they are going to do it.
Morris is right here.
They will do it with something called the local content rule.
And public interest regulations and requirements, which will mandate on local broadcasters that they do certain things in the public.
It will be in public interest.
It will be a stealth way.
And they'll put it in a stimulus bill.
They will put it in an omninous omnibus spending bill.
There won't even be any debate on it.
Nobody's even going to know it's going to happen.
It'll just be in one of these things that no senator or member of the House can read because it's too large, and the focus will be the stimulus getting us out of this rotten economy.
And that's how they're going to go about implementing the uh the fairness doctrine.
And make no mistake, they're going to do it.
But none of these changes, Morris writes, will cure the depression.
It'll end, the depression will end when the private sector works through the high debt levels that triggered the collapse in the first place, and then the large stimulus package deficits will likely lead to rapid inflation, probably causing a second recession to cure it.
So Obama's name will be mud by 2012 and probably 2010 as well.
And the Republican Party will make big gains and regain much of its lost power.
But it'll be too late.
It'll be too late to reverse the socialism of much of the economy, the demographic change in the electorate, the rationing of health care by the government, the surge of unionization, and the crippling of talk radio.
This is what Dick Morris sees, and Obama is moving fast on a lot of these things.
And we're going to keep a sharp ride to see how quickly he moves.
But this is Dick Morris, the Obama presidency, here comes socialism, moving on to the United Kingdom.
The London Daily Mail, an editorial.
A victory for the hysterical Ultra Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago.
Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on America.
Comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama worshippers everywhere.
A victory for the cult of the cult.
A man who has done little with his life, but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer, in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.
Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world.
Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarendon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence.
For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
That would be me.
Resisting the tug of the popular sentiment.
Proudly, By the way.
Victory for a man who is no friend to freedom.
He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced.
Without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement, like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that justice pornography should be censored, So should talk radio.
In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who, even in triumph, cannot tolerate any criticism or opposition or dissent.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family is.
For those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching, and for those who are naively convinced that if it is the West that's sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy, even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes, and economic stagnation.
And finally, a victor for victory for intrusive lawyers.
Banal sentimentalist, sentimentalists and social extremists and urban snobs.
Congratulations, America on your choice.
It's an editorial in the UK Daily Mail.
It ain't me, babe.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, throughout Deb.
And when we come back, let the scandals begin.
Or continue.
Political interference seen in bank bailout decisions involving the banking queen, Barney Frank.
And we're back.
It's Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Happy to have you with us, my friends.
Let's see.
Um this is from the UK Telegraph.
I've not seen this reported anywhere in the American Drive by Media.
So let me just read it to you as it's reported here.
CNN's orange-haired Septuagintarian chatterbox Larry King has been bowled over by the new age of Obama, enthusiasm that his youngest offspring from his seventh marriage wants to be black.
Interviewing a visibly uncomfortable Bob Woodward on his CNN show last night, Larry said my younger son can he's eight, and he now says he'd like to be black.
I'm not kidding.
He said there's a lot of advantages.
Black is in.
Is this a turning of the tide?
He asked Bob Woodward.
The distinguished Watergate scribbler said, Well, maybe.
And talked about how his 12-year-old daughter liked Obama's speech before gingerly steering the discussion toward Bush's magnanimity and how he hasn't, you know, made any cheap shots at his White House successor.
Black is in, and Larry King's eight-year-old son wants to be black.
Michael Jackson can become white, I'm sure this can be arranged.
To the phones now.
Let's uh let's say Mary in Temecula, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Morning, Rush.
Rush, this executive order by Obama to close Getmo is so offensive to me as an American citizen.
I mean, after only two days in office, his top priority was to extend the rights of terrorists.
Are you surprised?
No, I'm not.
But I mean, we knew this was coming.
Elections have consequences.
Yes, they do.
But during the campaign, he campaigned on my rights as an American citizen to health care to have my mortgage paid if I'm struggling to affordable gas and housing and clean energy.
And that after only two days in office, his top priority was the rights of these terrorists.
I am so offended as an American citizen rush.
Well, he's got to placate his political left.
He's got to, he's got to.
Those people are not happy with what's happened so far, and He's got to send them the signals being true to their extremism.
And that's why all these executive orders today are political.
They have nothing to do with uh United States national security.
But certainly you're not waiting around for him to make your mortgage payment.
You're just being facetious, correct?
Absolutely.
I've made my own mortgage for the last 20 years.
The last person I want paying my mortgage is Obama and any of his cronies.
Well, uh, you know what?
It's a great joke.
I mean, your your facetiousness and your sarcasm is well placed because I will I will guarantee you that there are people who wondering why he hasn't done those things yet.
He was gonna bring back their house.
He was gonna give them their mortgage.
They were gonna be out of debt.
They were gonna have health care.
And I guarantee you that some of the people that voted for him are wondering when he's gonna get going on that.
Apparently, ladies and gentlemen, I was not the only one to notice that Obama's executive orders that he signed today seemed to be executive orders he hadn't seen yet.
He's asking Greg Craig, uh, what are we doing here, Greg?
Uh and Greg Craig says here's what we're doing, and Obama repeats it as though it's his own words.
This afternoon on the Fox News channel, John Scott talked with Democrat strategist Bob Beckle about Obama's signing of the executive orders today and the confusion with the media.
And I don't know what.
Maybe it's shouldn't have been I don't know what confusion with the media there was because I wasn't there.
But here's the question that John Scott asked.
If you were running the media show at the White House, would you call somebody on the carpet?
I mean, you want the president to look presidential, right?
Yeah, I suspect that this is going to lead to a discussion here with a few people.
Look, for people who pulled off, just think about what they pulled off at the Democratic National Convention.
I mean, these are pros, and they're gonna they can't make little little mistakes like this because we're gonna talk about it.
So I suspect that there's gonna be a few heads that are gonna roll, and I also suspect you're not gonna see many missteps after this.
I'm not sure what he's talking about here.
I don't know what the misstep of the media was, unless it is Obama not knowing what his executive orders said.
But this could be some maybe there was a media screw up in there, maybe people didn't get in there, maybe I have I have no clue what this is about.
I uh I hope to find out.
There was a media issue yesterday.
This is, but this is this this says it's about the executive order.
Well, I know about that.
I know about that.
The controversy yesterday was the White House released photos of uh of the finger and Obama in the Oval Office, or Ram Emanuel in the Oval Office, and the drive bys are upset because they didn't run the picture because uh they want their own photographers in there.
And they and they weren't allowed in there to take their own.
They had to run, they had to run their own uh the White House picture.
Of course, the drive-by's, you know, occasionally they'll stand up for themselves, even with its Obama.
So we're not gonna run your propaganda.
We didn't take the picture, it's a White House picture.
We want our own pin.
And we run the propaganda around here, and we want our cameras in there to record the propaganda.
Well, he cut his finger off, didn't he?
Or do something.
He'd uh he cut his little finger off to show toughness or something.
He cut it and he didn't get it looked at, and it was getting uh it was getting uh ugly looking out there, had to go chop it off uh in a show of great toughness of.
Yeah, like the Yakuza guys, yeah, the the uh the uh the Japanese mafia.
Exactly, exactly, Snertley, exactly.
So I don't think Beckle here's talking about I I think we still are the only ones talking about the fact that Obama had no idea what executive orders he was signing or what they said.
Now, for those of you our last caller had a good point.
She's uh waiting for her mortgage to be paid, her gasoline to be paid for, her job to be found and so forth.
And she was being facetious, but you know, there are a lot of Obama voters.
What the hell is it getting most of where's my job?
You know, where's my health care?
Wall Street Journal bill may not stimulate jobs right away.
This is a story of a stimulus bill that isn't.
As President Obama's $825 billion economic recovery package began making its way, the Capitol Hill.
Congressional budget analysts suggested a key plank of the plan may not provide.
As big a near-term lift for the economy as expected.
Congressional budget analysis.
That's the old CBO gang and Democrats run that.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Give me a break.
It's always run by the party that runs the House.
And right now that's a Democrats.
The CBO projected that less than half of the $355 billion that House Democrats want to spend on highways, bridges, and other job-creating investments is likely to be used before the end of fiscal 2010.
This is like the money we gave the banks that isn't being used.
Now we're going to give money to fix the roads and bridges that aren't going to be used.
The CBO said the balance would likely be spent over the next several years after the recession is projected to end.
Wait, but wait, but wait.
I thought they told us that this money was going to be spent to end the recession.
And now they're telling us it's not going, and it's not the Wall Street Journal, the CBO, Congressional Budget Law.
Sometimes I feel like, you know, sometimes I really think I'm sitting here, not most of you in this audience.
Please, you know who we've got we've got stragglers out there.
We've got we got school teachers from Wisconsin to tune in now, and then we've got liberal Democrats from Seattle and Washington and California.
And I go through and I spend a lot of time detailing this.
Sometimes think it's a waste of time.
Here I'm not even a journalist, and I am a thousand times more informed than most of them combined.
Tom Brokaw, Jim Vandehay, John Harris.
They say they don't know anything about Obama.
I do.
And I'm the one that gets criticized.
So here now, for those of you waiting for Obama to get you your health care, to drive you to the hospital, to fill up your car, to get you your job, to get you your gift certificate at Walmart.
Now we're being told that over half of the money weren't going to show up until after 2010 when the recession's over.
By the way, I'm going to tell you what, if he gets what he wants, if he gets what he wants, there isn't going to be a recession in 2010.
It's going to be a depression.
So what we have here, this is a pork stimulus bill.
Do you know who's really getting this money?
Not those of you who want to lift to Walmart, not those of you who want your health care paid for, and not those of you who want to build roads and bridges.
Congress is going to be able to give away this money to whoever they want to give it away to.
You know what this is?
2010.
Do you understand the date here?
2010, half the money will not be spent until then.
May I translate.
2010 is an election year for every member of the House of Representatives, our good buddies.
The end of 2010, this money will not be spent till the end of 2010.
This, ladies and gentlemen, where our beloved, and we can't do without the members of Congress all run for re-election.
And why?
During that year when they're running for re-election is when half of Obama's stimulus package is going to be spent.
Buying their own re-elections.
And sadly, you and I in this audience are the only ones that understand this.
I know how alone you feel, folks.
I know how alone you feel.
And how frustrated you feel that so many of your fellow citizens are so stupid or ignorant.
Even when they're told this, it doesn't compute and they don't want to hear it.
But that's not all.
Republicans said the analysis shows that the package which Democrat leaders drew up with Obama to boost the economy would not create the promised jobs.
Eric Cantor, Virginia...
Clearly, we're not even talking about a stimulus bill.
We are talking about a pork re-election bill.
And who says this?
Again, it's the Democrat-controlled congressional budget office.
David Obey is scrambling to come up with something here.
He said, Look, I think I happen to think the CBO's estimates off the wall, but we're trying to respond to it nonetheless.
And from the Washington Post, stimulus projects may be slow, CBO says.
This is the post now, echoing what the Wall Street Journal said.
CBO confirms the complaints of Republicans.
The Congressional Budget Office analysis appears to confirm the complaints of many Republicans and other critics who have long argued that spending money on highway construction and other infrastructure projects is ineffective at quickly jolting a sluggish economy.
We knew this before the election.
I'm sorry, gosh.
The report was distributed to reporters yesterday by Mitch McConnell.
The report also suggests that the House measure would violate Obama's rules for the stimulus package.
Obama aides have said they want the bulk of the spending to occur before 2011.
Obama has pledged that the measure would save or create at least three million jobs over the next two years.
Still the report from the CBO offers a stark assessment of some of the Democrats' top priorities.
For example, of $30 billion in highway spending, less than $4 billion would occur over the next two years.
Of $18.5 billion proposed for renewable energy, less than three billion would be spent by 2011.
And of the $14 billion for school construction, less than $7 billion would be spent in the next three years.
And it's never going to get spent on this stuff because as it's laying around unspent, guess who's going to pick it up?
People like Barney Frank are going to pick it up and start spending it on their own.
Speaking of Barney Frank, this is from the Wall Street Journal.
Troubled one United Bank in Boston didn't look much like a candidate for aid from the Treasury Department bailout.
Treasury had said it would give money only to healthy banks to jumpstart lending.
But one United had seen most of its capital evaporate.
Moreover, it was under attack from regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive pay abuses, including owning a Porsche for its executives' use.
Nonetheless, in December, one United Bank got a $12 million injection from the TARP program.
One apparent factor, the intercession of Barney Frank, the powerful head of the House Financial Services Committee.
Mr. Frank, by his own account, wrote into the TARP bill of provisions specifically aimed at helping this particular home state bank.
Later, he acknowledges he spoke to regulators, urging that one united be considered for a cash injection.
So here we go, let the scandals begin.
This does not take a rocket scientist to realize that when there is a government and a money grab, scandal and corruption are not far behind.
And you know, I've actually covered about 5% of my stacks of stuff today, and I have to take another time out.
We'll be back.
Okay, back to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
We still have a great, great, great roster of sound bites.
But this is Teresa in Huntsville, Alabama.
Nice to have you here.
Hello.
Thank you.
It's an honor.
I appreciate what you do.
Regarding the release of the Bush Cheney records.
There hasn't been a release of the Bush Cheney records.
There has been a door opened for interested parties to go get them.
Well, they will.
But if Congress brings charges of war crimes against Bush and Cheney, are they not themselves guilty by law of aiding and abetting those crimes and inherent approval of the war by their funding of that war?
Uh no.
I mean, in the real world, yes.
But remember, they were lied to.
That'd be part of the war crimes.
Bush and Cheney and the CIA doctored the uh intelligence and they lied to Congress.
You know, you you could ask the same question.
How can they not be uh accessories here?
Because they voted for it.
Not just the fund, they voted for the use of force resolution.
But that's what they say they were lied to.
Oh.
I don't think they were lied to.
No, no, of course they weren't.
Uh, but they will say so.
We're not we're not talking about reality here.
We're talking about propaganda symbolism over substance.
Uh By the way, yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, President Obama said lobbyists are banned from his administration.
You remember that?
They announced that yesterday.
Lobbyists are banned from his administration.
Yet his nominee to be Deputy Secretary of Department of Defense, Deputy Secretary in Health and Human Services, both of them are lobbyists who break Obama's rule.
Obama's team was asked about the contradiction, and the Obama team, whoever in the administration's answer was, well, rules require reasonable exceptions, and we didn't want to turn the town upside down.
Associated Press says the story this way Even the toughest rules require reasonable exceptions Said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
The New York Times.
A senior White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity, conceded that the two nominees did not adhere to the new rules required by Obama.
When you set very tough rules, you need to have a mechanism for the occasional exception, the official said, adding, we wanted to be really tough, but at the same time, we didn't want to hamstring the new administration.
It turned the town upside down.
Washington Post.
Obama's remarks evoked criticism from the RNC, which noted that Obama had nominated William Lynn, former Raytheon lobbyist as Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Lobbying reports filed by Raytheon with the Senate states that Lynn was part of a group that lobbied Congress and the Pentagon in 2007 and 2008.
So the new lobbying rules don't mean anything.
All these ethics lobby don't mean anything.
Because the Robert Gibbs is doing the White House, his first ever White House briefing right now.
So, well, you know, tough rules require reasonable exceptions.
Now we didn't want to turn the town upside down.
I mean, you gotta have.
It's just like lying now and then is good for people.
Like we know in a tax cheat.
I mean, this we have an historic administration and another historic first.
We've got our first tax cheat as secretary of the uh of the treasury.
And the um who's looking good at the pardons?
Oh, Eric Holder.
Yeah, he's probably gonna escape through, but there's a little trouble there, but he'll he'll probably end up being confirmed, Eric Holder.
Oh, and by the way, Gibbs, this press briefing he's just uh conducting here, he was just axed asked about the executive order and club Gitmost.
Oh, no, no, we're gonna let Greg handle that.
Uh we get down to the uh details of the legal match there.
We're gonna let Greg handle it.
Greg Craig appears to be the man behind the curtain, right?
At least so far when it comes to foreign policy.
Because Obama does not know what's in his own executive orders.
Okay, here's uh who's next on this uh program.
Scott in Crown Point, Indiana.
Nice to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes.
I had uh a question about uh you the uh Dick Morris article, um, which I I had read and I I found it like you to be a very good article.
Uh left me thinking, if we are so soundly defeated, what is the point of going on?
I mean, even if we have a victory in an election, we still have this fundamental shift that is against us.
Then I'm kind of looking to you to maybe how do we change that you know that foundation.
Well, here's here's the thing.
What what Morris is assuming in his piece in his in his column is that the Republicans are going to remain for two years as they are now, basically invisible, laying down, rolling over, and not fighting any of this stuff.
Uh this stuff doesn't all have to happen.
Amnesty doesn't have to have the odds are that it will.
Health care could be beaten back.
It could be pro the Republicans Have to stand up and fight some of this stuff because Morris's point is right.
Even if the Republicans win big in 2010 and we've got this demographic shift of all these new Democrat voters in healthcare, then what are they in charge of?
It's not too late to stop this stuff.
That's why they gotta stand up.
That's what we're trying to do here.
Wall-to-wall sound bites in the next segment, the opening segment of the fastest three hours in media, Rush Limbaugh here behind the golden EIB microphone, and we'll get to your phone calls as well.
Uh, eagerly and happily so.
The telephone number again to call is 800-282-2882.
I agree, you snurder.
