Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I think he's in trouble.
And I think, ladies and gentlemen, he knows he's in trouble.
Now, you would never know it unless you have a highly trained and experienced eye and ears like mine.
Watching the Barack Obama press conference.
Well, it wasn't a press conference because he didn't take any questions, but watching his appearance this morning in the White House with a couple of CEOs, I have an entirely, and of course, what's odd about this, I have an entirely different take from those who analyzed this event in the White House that happened just mere moments ago.
Greetings and welcome to the fastest week in media and the fastest three hours in media, the Rush Limbaugh program.
And we are ensconced firmly here behind the golden EIB microphone.
Telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
On January the 9th of this year, what would that be, 19 days ago, Barack Obama said there is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.
How would you interpret that?
And by the way, prior to that, he said government is the only entity that can get this go.
Cookie, I'm sorry, I didn't think of this until just now, but see if you can find that.
I don't remember if that was an audiobite that we played or if it was a quote we took from it was a quote out of it.
I could have sworn I saw him say it.
I know I saw him.
I don't know whether we had the soundbite.
Cookie, search the archives.
We got great archives.
We got a really great archival system, and we back it up, by the way, so that never lose it.
But find it when he said, it was this month.
Government's the only entity can do this.
And then, because it relates to what's coming next, then he said on January 9th to repeat, there is no disagreement that we need action by our government, comma, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.
Today, an entirely different tune.
Today, Barack Obama morphed into Ronald Reagan.
He stood aside from the podium while two CEOs, one from IBM and one from Honeywell, sang his praises.
There were no small business people up there with him, just major corporate people.
And of course, IBM and Honeywell probably will benefit greatly from whatever government action there is with internet wiring and updating technology and computer networking, this sort of thing.
But I don't want to besmirch the CEOs.
I mean, this is a con game, and they've got to go up there and pay the protection money.
But they sang this guy's praise.
He's a great leader.
Oh, this is going to be the greatest thing.
And Obama got up there and sounded like Ronald Reagan.
And this, to me, is the signal that he knows he's in trouble.
Now, he's not in trouble in terms of getting his bill eventually passed.
But I'll tell you, more and more people are now starting to see that this is not a stimulus bill at all.
It's what we've been calling porculus.
It's just, it's a standard budget bill that has a 30% increase in the budget is what it is.
That's all it is.
And if you look, there's been some a conservative analysis of the bill suggests that only 12 cents of every dollar will go to genuine stimulus things like creating jobs and so forth.
But they are part-time jobs.
They're static jobs that have a start and end time.
They're not career jobs, which is a big, big difference.
And of course, the news is getting out of just how filled with pork this is, how typical it is of the way Washington spends money.
The Republicans in the House seem to be holding firm.
He doesn't need a Republican vote at all.
And I think the pressure, the purpose of this meeting today was, or the result of the meeting was he knows he's in trouble because he desperately wants Republican support.
Because when this goes down the tubes, he wants to be able to say that all of Washington was complicit.
He doesn't want Republicans to be able to run reelection campaigns in 2010 and 2012 saying they opposed this when we're in the mess that's even deeper than it is today.
So he wants Republicans there.
He doesn't want a repeat of what happened in 1993, where not one Republican voted for the Clinton budget, which then led to the Republicans partly a factor taking over the House in 1994.
He doesn't need the Republicans.
As I said yesterday, why in the world, if this is so great, if this is so wonderful, if this package of his is going to reignite an economy like we've never seen before, why wouldn't he want all the credit?
Do you realize he could destroy the Republican Party forever if his plan works and none of them vote for it?
Can you imagine what he could say four years from now?
It would be the end of the Republican Party.
And if that's the case, why not do it?
Because we know that in politics, the objective is to wipe out your opponent.
It just is.
The Democrat objective is.
It used to be ours, but we're going to get that back.
We're going to get that back.
So there's a lot going on here that is underneath the surface.
We've got perception galore today because the picture that Obama wanted was these two CEOs and a bunch of other CEOs in the audience singing his praises, suggesting we've got to get this done.
They're smiling and they're talking about how competent he is and how open he is, how much he listens.
And he goes out and sounds like Reagan.
And then the drive-bys dutifully point out that while this wonderful kumbaya meeting is going on in the White House, the evil, mean Republicans in the House are getting ready to vote no and the whole thing.
And look, who's for it?
Why American business is for it?
So this is perception.
And that's why he knows that he's in trouble here.
He's not in trouble that this thing is going to pass someday.
He's in trouble because he knows the Republicans are starting to stand firm and not join up with it.
He's trying to create this perception here of using conservative language to advance his leftist agenda.
It's a total, it really was pretty smart, and it's very good at creating this perception because that's exactly what's happening.
Let's go to the audio soundbites and I'll show you what I mean here.
The first one, this is a portion of his remark where Obama keeps his promise to meet with people that you wouldn't think would be on his team, sat down with American business leaders today.
Here's the first of two bites, a portion of his remarks.
I'm very grateful that all of these individuals have taken the time to come.
These are some of the leading CEOs in the country.
These are people who make things, who hire people.
They are on the front lines in seeing the enormous problems in our economy right now.
Their ideas and their concerns have helped to shape our recovery package.
I'm grateful that they're here today to talk about why it's so important that we act and act swiftly in order to get this economy back on track.
Their ideas and concerns have helped to shape our recovery package.
Huh.
Not buying this, folks.
This is not how business operates.
Business, well, I guess maybe I'm wrong.
Business now does go to Washington with their handout.
They do.
Here, here is Barack Obama, whose plan is pure Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Pure New Deal, pure grow government as large and as fast as we can, sounding like Rinaldus Magnus.
In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America's workers and the businesses that employ them.
They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have.
For in the end, it's businesses, large and small, that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people's lives and dreams depend.
All we can do, those of us here in Washington, is to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper.
Businesses can thrive and our economy can grow.
Keep that in mind.
Let's go back to January 8th, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, Barack Obama.
Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe.
Only government can break the cycle that are crippling our economy.
That's why we need to act boldly and act now to reverse these cycles.
That's why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.
That's Barack Obama 20 days ago, suggesting only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep.
Only government can break the cycle that are, he said, crippling our economy.
Play number 1A again, Mike.
Keep in mind.
In fact, I want to do this back.
Let's do this chronological order.
Play 19 and then 1A, back-to-back, nothing in between.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe.
Only government can break the cycle that are crippling our economy.
That's why we need to act boldly and act now to reverse these cycles.
That's why we need to restart the flow of credit and restore the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.
In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America's workers and the businesses that employ them.
They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny just as they always have.
For in the end, it's businesses, large and small, that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people's lives and dreams depend.
All we can do, those of us here in Washington, is to help create a favorable climate in which workers can prosper.
Businesses can thrive, and our economy can grow.
Can I translate that for you?
That's right out of my mouth, except I say it a different way.
It's the people who make this country work.
What government has to do is get out of their way, eliminate obstacles, regulations, cut their taxes, unleash the creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit born of individual freedom on which this country was founded, and get out of the way.
Let the economy recover and let it happen right before our very eyes.
Now I know what he told these business leaders.
What you just heard is what he told the business leaders.
Do you think, GrabCUD19, in his meeting with business leaders before this appearance today, he said this.
Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe.
Only government can break the cycle that are crippling our economy.
Stop taxing.
That's why we need to act.
Or did Barack Obama tell his business leaders this morning in his meeting the following?
In the end, the answer to our economic troubles rests less in my hands or in the hands of our legislators than it does with America's workers and the businesses that employ them.
They are the ones whose efforts and ideas will determine our economic destiny, just as they always have.
For in the end, it's businesses, large and small, that generate the jobs, provide the salaries, and serve as the foundation on which the American people's lives and dreams depend.
Stop the tape, blunt, force, comment.
He doesn't believe a word of what he said there because his plan has none of this in it.
Folks, there's a game going on here, a giant con game right out of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
It is clear that he is in trouble.
He thinks he's in trouble in getting what he wants here.
He's using conservative language to a conservative group of people to promote a socialist leftist agenda.
It's all intentional.
It is all contrived.
The key here is perception.
He is creating perceptions.
He's a likable guy.
He speaks well, but he conceals his real politics with his language.
So you've heard two Barack Obamas separated by 20 days.
You might say, well, how do we know which one's real?
Go look at the stimulus plan and tell me if you can find anything in there that does anything to strengthen business, to get government out of people's way.
You will not.
So what we just heard at the White House today was smoke and mirrors, a 100% show.
And of course, the drive-by media that analyzed it after it was over fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.
I, of course, didn't, which is why I remain enemy number one.
Pioneers take the arrows, folks.
And I have a thick skin and am eager for them to keep aiming.
Back after this.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Coming up in a few minutes after the bottom-of-the-hour break, Congressman Phil Gingry from Georgia.
He says that what the Politico wrote about him yesterday commenting on me, the story was headlined, GOP to Rush, back off, claims that it was not accurate and so forth.
So he wants to come on and set it straight.
Eric Cantor from Virginia will be here after the 1.30 Eastern Time break.
Again, remember Tony Dungy tomorrow in the second hour, the top of the second hour.
And on Friday, The Hutch will be here to discuss the Super Bowl.
I was reading some comments from Jerome Bettis, former great running back for the Steelers, number 36 out there.
And Bettis was echoing my theory on the game.
Bettis said this game is going to come down to the Steelers' offense against the Arizona Cardinals' defense.
I was happy to see that Bettis agrees with me.
Bettis is stepping up.
ABC News, a blog, reported this exchange from the meeting Tuesday between Barack Obama and Republicans.
Roscoe Bartlett, a Republican.
Mr. President, I probably come at this from a slightly different perspective, speaking to Obama here.
I remember when FDR beat Hoover in 1932, so I remember the Great Depression very well.
I don't remember any of the many government programs affecting the course of the Depression.
Government programs didn't work then, and I don't know why we think they're going to work now.
Mr. President, I think our obsessive borrowing has fully mortgaged my kids and my grandkids, and now we're working on mortgaging my two great-grandkids.
Mr. President, I think it's more than a little bit selfish to try to solve our economic problems, which we created by burdening future generations yet to be born.
This prompted applause.
Obama said the only reason I'm pursuing this plan is because if we don't get the economy moving again, the situation for future generations will inherit will be even worse.
So the Republicans in private, at least Roscoe Bartlett, some were standing up to the Messiah.
In a really hilarious story here of audacity.
So on FoxNews.com and try this headline.
President Obama said he expects and respects philosophical differences with Republicans, but he wants to keep politics to a minimum so they can get the economy back on track.
Obama has urged the Republicans to keep politics to a minimum on the stimulus bill.
Now, this is audacious as you can get, suggesting there is a minimum politics in the biggest political stimulus plan in history.
He wants to keep ideology out of this.
No compromise.
By the way, he said no compromise on taxes.
He said, we won.
Now, one of the things that the Republicans have to do, it's not going to be a sufficient, I think, just to say no.
They have to have an alternative.
And the alternative, obviously, rooted in conservatism.
Now, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, earlier this week, I presented to you my serious, and if I do say so, quite brilliant, bipartisan stimulus plan, the Obama-Limbaugh bipartisan stimulus plan.
And it took me an entire monologue to recite this to you.
Essentially, it is to use the election returns as a means of dividing up what we do here.
We've got a trillion dollars that we're going to spend on this stimulus before it's all said and done.
Obama gets 54% of the vote.
McCain got 46.
So 54% of the trillion dollars, let Obama spend it however he wants.
The 46% represents $460 billion of the trillion dollars.
We on our side will begin a plan of immediate tax cuts, capital gains, tax cuts, perhaps even elimination of capital gains, slashing the corporate tax rate in half, throw in some real estate tax relief as well, and we'll just see side by side which works.
It would be true bipartisanship.
It'd be true compromise.
I have reduced, ladies and gentlemen, that monologue to 750 words.
As of now, it will run as an op-ed in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal, which is a perfect publication in which for it to run so that people in the business, people are going to look at this perhaps and say it's an economic op-ed.
It's not an economic op-ed.
This is a political op-ed.
But what's happening here, we're all getting sidetracked because this is not about the economy.
It's about big government.
It's not about creating private sector jobs.
This whole dog and pony show today at the White House was a total sham.
And I've got more after this.
Remember, folks, despite the Reagan-S language from President Obama about 45 minutes ago, back on January 8th, he said, only government can fix this.
Only government has the means.
Only government, only government can do it.
So pure perception today, trying to make it sound like you, the people who make the country work, are going to be the ones responsible.
They're going to get out of your way.
Government's going to get out of your way.
It's the exact opposite.
This was pure perception.
It's not about the economy.
This whole stimulus bill is not about the economy.
It's not about the economy at all.
It's not about your job.
It's about big government.
It's not about creating private sector jobs, as the president intimated today.
It's about expanding government jobs and expanding the size and reach of the Democrat Party.
It's not about growing the economy.
It's about controlling the individual.
But he says what he says very well, and a lot of times people don't care what he says.
What he says doesn't matter.
It's how he says it.
We'd like to welcome to the microphone Georgia Congressman Phil Gingry, who ended up being quoted yesterday by Jonathan Martin and somebody else at Politico.com.
Congressman Gingry asked to come on the program today to address that, and we are happy to have him here.
Congressman, welcome to the program, sir.
Rush, thank you so much.
I thank you for the opportunity.
Of course, it's not exactly the way I wanted to come on, but I appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
Mainly, I want to express to you and all your listeners my very sincere regret for those comments I made yesterday to Politico.
Basically, the intent of my words to them was to discuss the unique position of congressional Republicans and our leadership, particularly John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
I clearly ended up putting my foot in my mouth on some of those comments.
And I just wanted to tell you, Rush, and all our conservative giants who help us so much to maintain our base and grow it and get back this majority that I regret those stupid comments.
Well, look, I appreciate that.
I have quite a lot of experience with people in the media.
And believe, they loved the little storm that they were able to create yesterday.
And I thought this was one of the goals.
When it was reported that the president told you guys not to listen to me last Friday in his White House meeting, I thought one of the objectives was to have some of the Republican conference or caucus come out and denounce me as well because he would like to co-opt you guys as on his team and distance you from conservatism.
And so would the media.
But it is what it is, and I'm glad that you called.
And I've read your explanation for this on the website.
We all want to be on the same team here, Congressman.
Our numbers are dwindling in Congress, and there's a reason for it.
And we want to reverse that.
Well, we're down, as you say, Rush, we're down to 178 in the House, and our House membership is looking more and more conservative.
And we're going to work our tails off across the country trying to recruit additional Republicans that understand that as you've so well said, that this economic bailout rescue stimulus package is nothing but growing the government and is not growing private sector jobs.
And again, I was trying to defend John Boehner, who basically is providing very good leadership on this issue.
I can assure you, Rush, that on the House side, there will be very, very few Republicans.
Look, I totally agree with you on that.
I think the backbone is clearly visible here.
And look, I understand why you guys might be upset with me.
I don't have thin skin.
And when I make the statement that it appears the president's more concerned with me than he is with Mitch McConnell or John Boehner, I can understand how that would offend some people.
But look at it this way.
Look at me as taking the heat.
Look at me as taking the fire, directing it away from you, so that you guys can go stealthily do what you're doing here in building an opposition to this.
I want to ask you a political question about the vote.
I know that you don't know how it's all going to end up, but what is your thought?
Let's say not one Republican votes for this.
I happen to think, leading question, I happen to think that would be perfect for the future and your reelection efforts.
What's your thought on that?
Rush, I agree with you completely.
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen because you know on the Senate side, there are some rather moderate leaning Senate Republicans in 2010 and you names and there are a few in the House and they're going to tend to go along with this.
But it's going to be a very, very small percentage.
But I agree with you.
It would be the best possible message for this country would be for every single Republican to vote against this.
The way I look at this, by the way, we're talking with Congressman Phil Gingry from the 11th District in Georgia.
Obama's presenting this as the end-all to all of our problems.
This is going to magically create jobs, magically reignite prosperity.
It's going to eliminate all the bad memories that we had from the Bush years.
If it's that wonderful, if it's that magical, why even care whether you have Republican votes?
Why not have all Democrats, because he doesn't need one vote from you guys pass this.
He's got enough votes in the House to get it done himself.
Why not let the Democrats take all the credit for this magic?
Oh, because if it fails, and I expect that he will, he wants to say that, well, hey, the Republicans voted for it too.
You know, it's not just me.
Don't blame the Democrats.
This was a bipartisan bill.
Exactly.
He wants cover.
Exactly right.
Well, you have, you know, I know you hear from your constituents, but sometimes the Beltway can be a lonely place.
You can end up being isolated up there.
And I'd just like for you to know on behalf, at least the people I can speak for, most of them in my audience is, that they have extremely high hopes, expectations, or what have you that you guys can hold firm and represent an alternative ideological approach to what President Obama is trying to do.
Because we keep hearing about how the American people are scared, and they should be.
Even Obama has said if this thing passes, we're going to have 10% unemployment, even if he gets this.
There's a war on prosperity.
People's lives are at stake.
They're losing their jobs.
And some of them didn't vote for him, Congressman, and they don't think his plan is the way to get this done.
They think what you believe is their ultimate hope and the ultimate way that they're going to be able to rebuild their lives, get their 401ks back up.
There are a lot of people invested in you guys.
Well, Rush, congressional Republicans and our leadership need you and other conservative giants to galvanize the millions of Americans who don't live in Washington.
They may not even live in Republican districts.
Maybe they're in Democratic districts.
But we've got to have your support.
And, of course, I know you reach millions of people across the country.
I'm telling you, I've heard from quite a few of them since my foot-and-mouth disease yesterday.
And I just thank you so much for what you're doing.
And we're with you 100%.
And we know that you're with us 100%, more importantly.
Congressman Phil Gingry, Georgia.
Thank you very much for calling, sir.
It's great to have you here.
Thanks, Rush.
You bet.
We'll take a brief time out here, folks, and we'll be back.
We will continue in mere moments.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Again, I say, I'm just so sad my parents are not alive.
I would not believe this.
You know, you talk about bailouts.
My friends, I do have an apology to make to you.
Were it not for me, the TV network MSNBC would have no audience.
I single-handedly have bailed out NBC for the fourth day in a row.
I have an audio soundbite roster here that has a minimum of 12 sound bites from various MSNBC shows throughout the busy broadcast day.
They are talking about me now under the rubric of, am I the new leader of the GOP?
Which illustrates clearly even these people who now claim to be listening to me every day still don't understand what I do here.
This isn't about the Republican Party.
At any rate, were it not for me bailing this network out, they would have no audience left.
I have replaced George W. Bush in the crosshairs at MSNBC.
And for this, because they would have dwindled away to zilch to statistical zero in the ratings.
So I offer my apologies for this, but it was not done purposefully.
And I'm not going to alter what I'm doing just to take away programming material from MSNBC.
To the phones, we start in Pittsburgh.
This is Shelly, and it's great to have you with us.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
What a pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to call and make sure that you got my email via the Democrat Committee website where they encouraged us all to write our comments about your comments, you know, about hoping Obama failed.
Look at, there are so many of these.
I think the well-wishers using the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee website, people sending me good wishes far outnumber the malcontents that the DCCC hopes sign their petition.
If I'm doing such great damage to the Republican Party, why petition against me?
If I'm doing all this damage, this is another thing.
It's just hilarious.
I think you're right.
I was on there and I emailed you and I read a few comments.
And of course, there's the sheep who don't bother to research any of what you really said and are demi-media.
Yes, they did.
They lied about it.
They took it totally out of context.
They got a little clip, a 19-second clip of me at the end of a long monologue explaining why I hope he fails.
They're just using that.
It's the Michael J. Fox thing all over again.
Right.
And I just wanted you to know that I emailed them also, and I told them that if they wanted to confront you and win, they should learn a lesson from their debacle with Harry Reid, and they should do it honestly.
Because what Harry Reid did, twisting your words around and that just blew up in his face.
And he didn't even have the good sense or class to admit that he did that after you raised all that money for charity.
He tried to horn in on that and take responsibility for it.
And it just made him look like an absolute ass.
So I suggested to them that if they were going to try and take you on, the best would be to do it honestly.
Wait, wait, just a second.
See, this is, it might have made him look like an ass, but where is he today?
He's the majority leader of the U.S. Senate.
Was he harmed by that at all?
I bet to this day he doesn't think he is or was.
We won't know until he begins his own reelection effort in Nevada in 2010.
Folks, you've got to understand what this is about.
If you want to take this stuff seriously, to me, this is old hat.
This is just the latest stunt that they've tried for a number of years.
But let me tell you, let me offer you a contrast.
It wasn't very long ago, was it, that the Democrat Party spent entire weeks praying, hoping, demanding defeat in Iraq.
They spent years saying they hope President Bush failed.
In fact, Google, back in the old Google search days, if you searched it, they had to pull this down eventually, even I've got the screenshots.
If you put in the words George W. Bush in the search field at Google, the second or third entry was miserable failure.
Dick Gephardt called George W. Bush a miserable failure way back in 2002.
Now, the idea that the Democrats have behaved like angels the last six years and all of a sudden it's mean old Rush now saying rotten things about Obama and they have to take me out of context again to do it.
Now this is a troubling to some people.
It's interesting nevertheless.
We had brave men and women in the U.S. military losing their lives, getting wounded.
We had the members of the U.S. military who were following orders and succeeding, succeeding in taming the wild west known as Iraq.
And all during that time, Harry Reid and others are hoping that they lose.
They are calling the commander a liar to his face.
Commander General Petraeus, when he's brought up to testify, every Democrat from Waxman to Hillary Clinton to Harry Reid, they were waving the white flag of surrender before the surge even began.
This war is lost.
Jack Murtha was accusing them of being murderers and rapists.
They said some of the most outrageously wrong, lying, personally destructive things about George W. Bush.
So it rings a little hollow to me for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee to now, and by the way, this is an association of elected Democrats.
This, once again, the similarity to Harry Reid is this.
You have elected Democrats using the power of their office to attempt to stifle the speech of a private citizen who is in the media.
And the First Amendment's free speech clause was expressly, not expressly, but it was focused primarily on political speech, which is what we do here.
And so the Democrats get this free ride.
Nobody was up.
I don't remember too many people in our party doing what the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee is doing today.
I don't remember people petitioning the Democrats to shut up, stop aiding and abetting the enemy, stop saying we can't win.
Remember, we would do side-by-side audio soundbites of how talking points from Harry Reid or Chuck Schumer sounded just like they came from Mahmoud Ahmadinezad, or when a tape came from Ayman al-Zawahiri, how similar Zawahiri or Ahmadinezad's views of America were to what Democrat leaders were saying.
The idea that they have been angels and behaving clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, and all of a sudden I come along and they have to manufacture a lie or an out-of-context statement in order to get their rabble rouses.
This is an attempt to stifle dissent.
Remember what Hillary said about dissent.
Dissent is the new patriotism.
Well, not anymore.
The new patriotism is paying higher taxes, according to Joe Biden.
So, you know, we've got, we're in a, we're in a serious battle here.
These people play for keeps.
The Obama philosophy is to clear the playing field, not level it, just get rid of anybody on it who could stand in your way.
And that's what the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee is doing.
And they're doing it dishonestly.
So, you know, I appreciate everybody responding to it and sending a message.
But what they're going to do, predict this to you, it won't be long today or tomorrow.
They're going to say they exceeded their goal in signatures.
They're going to say, we got more signatures to tell Rush to shut up than we ever dreamed of getting.
