Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
The president of the United States, Barack Obama, needs to apologize to the American people.
Today, yet again, in signing a couple of executive orders boosting big labor with a phony bill about the middle class, the president of the United States once again did not tell the truth about the status of the United States economy.
It is irresponsible for this man to keep trash talking the U.S. economy.
It's bad enough without him stoking literal fear in the hearts and minds of people who are looking to him to get this thing fixed.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And you know the rules on open line Friday.
They really basically are none.
Whatever you want to talk about, fair game, even if I am not interested in it.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
In addition to all a heavyweight serious, it really matters a lot this time news.
It's also Super Bowl Friday.
I love Super Bowl Friday.
We're going to be talking to the Hutch at the top of the third hour, two o'clock Eastern today.
Ken Hutcherson, a man of the man of the cloth, a man of the Lord, now a minister.
In fact, uh a lot of the visiting teams that go on to play the Seattle Seahawks.
The Hutch does chapel for the visiting teams in their hotel, sometimes in the locker room.
Former player, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, and for a time with the San Diego Chargers.
And he'll be he'll be here, as I said, the top of the third hour.
And I also, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who have a long histoire with this program, I have coming up very soon.
An environmental wacko pick.
For those of you new to the program, back in the early days of this program, you know, I love football, and I get people kept saying to me, uh, you stick to the issues.
We don't care about football here, or we don't care about golf, or we don't care what you did over the weekend.
Just stick to the issues.
So I said, okay, I'm I'm I'm not gonna give up talking about football.
I love it, so I decided, okay, how can I talk about football in a way that people that don't like it, who want to stick to the issues, would accept it.
And I ingeniously came up with the environmentalist wacko method of picking games, looking at National Football League games, the way environmentalist wackos and animal rights people and so forth would analyze them as a means of talking politics and making a political point while also picking the winners of NFL games.
So we've put it on hiatus for a couple years or longer, actually, but the environmentalist wacko pick will be back very soon.
President Obama should apologize.
This is getting out of hand.
And it's getting you remember yesterday uh was talking about I guess all week long, uh the the immorality of of this so-called stimulus bill, the porcupist bill, the fact that so many elements of this, from the contents of the bill to the way it's being sold to the way it's not being reported by the media, is just morally wrong.
And it is, you know, I I watched again today of an MSNBC info babe interviewed Tony Blankly.
She had no clue what he was trying to say, no clue what he was talking about.
Total Obama apologist, total anti-bush, she doesn't have any idea.
What is in this debacle?
She doesn't care.
Other drive-bys are trying to make it seem as though they do know what's in it.
Let's take a look at the GDP number that came out today.
The GDP number shows that what the fourth quarter was down 3.8%, right?
Now, for the longest time, we've been hearing that we're in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
The Great Depression with 1930s.
So that's 70 years ago.
Now all of a sudden, Obama said this morning that the uh economy and the fourth quarter GDP number was as bad as it's been in three decades.
Now he said that to confuse his own voters.
He should have said 30 years.
Wait a minute, 30 years and 70 years a big difference.
Do you know what the GDP, you know what happened to it in 1982?
That was Ronald Reagan's second year in office.
The GDP for 1982 was minus 6.
Almost twice what the fourth quarter was in 2008.
Not only is this economy right now nowhere near as bad as the Great Depression, it's nowhere near as bad as the recession of 1982 when we were coming out of Obama One, also known as Jimmy Carter.
Now I'll tell you when our gross domestic gross domestic product is going to be minus 6.8 or 7 or whatever, and I'll tell you when the misery index is going to get back up to 21%, and that's two years after Obama's out of office in 2012.
You give him four years with nobody to stop him, and we're going to end up like 1982.
We are not there now.
And this is a lie that is being perpetrated.
It is a myth that is being sold.
It happened on CNN last night on Campbell Brown's show, no bias, no bull.
Campbell Brown had as a guest a CNN business correspondent by the name of Ally Veshl uh Velshi.
Allie Velshi.
Campbell Brown said, This quote from Rush Limbaugh today, getting a lot of attention.
A Wall Street Journal.
Tax cuts are the surest and quickest way to create permanent jobs.
We know that when tax cuts are cut in a recession, it brings an economy back.
Now listen to the business correspondent of CNN in full fledged ignorance mode.
This is not the economy that Ronald Reagan ever saw.
We have not seen anything like this in our lifetime.
Anybody who tells you this is how it works is lying.
We don't know how it works.
We have never seen anything like this before.
Mr. Velshi, you are incompetent.
You are a disservice to your business, except you fit right in at CNN.
Disinformation, character assaults, this economy is nowhere near as bad as it was in 1982.
In fact, Mr. Velshi, the entire economy, the GDP rose 1.3% for all of 2008.
It was down 3.8% in the fourth quarter, but it grew 1.8% the whole year.
Now, Mr. Velshi, after calling me a liar, and I'm not even a business reporter, but you pretend to be.
1986, GDP down over 6%.
We were in a recession.
What was the centerpiece of Mr. Reagan's economic recovery plan, Mr. Velshi?
Let me spell it for you.
T A X space.
C U T S. In fact, Mr. Velshi, you may not have seen anything like this before, but I have.
I've seen worse.
I lived through worse.
When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, the top marginal tax rate, Mr. Velshi was 70%.
When Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, the top marginal tax rate was 28%.
The only way you can say that tax cuts didn't lift us out of a recession is if you want to lie like Bill Clinton did and claim that the 80s were the worst economy in the last 50 years, but you go back, you look at the prosperity that was created by those tax cuts throughout this country, look at the prosperity that was created through the 90s that Bill Clinton got to claim the credit for.
But aside from all that, to go on a cable news network, call me a liar, while you are as factually incorrect as you could possibly be.
If somebody was trying to get Ali Velshi fired at CNN, this is the kind of script that they would write for him to say.
The problem is that nobody at CNN knows that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
I wonder what Mr. Velshi thought when he got up today and saw the story.
He probably didn't see it.
He probably didn't see the story that the whole economy was up 1.8% in 2008, and he probably didn't see the news that uh 1982 GDP was minus 6.8%.
We've never seen anything like this, not even the Great Depression.
We've never seen anything like this.
Make a mistake, Mr. Velshi, feel free.
Don't call me a liar.
Here's Obama at the White House this morning.
Big labor audience is announcing Joe Biden as the middle class czar or some such thing.
What?
What are you saying to me?
You're not saying to me to me.
My staff is livid.
They're in their mouthing their disgust, and I think they're talking to me.
Here is Barack Obama speaking to a group of union leaders about his new middle class working families task force.
I'm pleased that the House has acted with the urgency necessary in passing this plan.
I hope we can strengthen it further in the Senate.
What we can't do is drag our feet or delay much longer.
The American people expect us to act.
And that's exactly what I intend to do as President of the United States.
Mr. Obama, my plan is not the end.
Oh, I stopped.
I thought it was the end of the bite.
I'm sorry, my mistake.
Too eager to put this in context.
As um Peggy Noonan wrote today, there's no sense of euphoria in this country after this thing was passed with the House, is there?
In fact, the Democrats are mad.
The Democrats are mad they couldn't get any Republicans to go along.
Why do they care?
And now some some Democrats are suggesting, well, I just cut the Republicans loose.
Just cut them loose.
Exactly right.
You don't need the Republicans to get any of this shamble done.
Cut them loose.
Why do you care that no Republicans are on board?
I'm I'm just fascinated to read all these Democrats and all these media people worried about the future of the Republican Party, because they don't get it and they're not on board.
The future of the Republican Party is in resisting.
This destructive debacle, this porculus bill.
That's the strength of the Republican Party.
Now let's see.
Let's see.
We have more from Obama.
I forgot the big point I was going to make when I interrupted him when I thought the bite was over.
Oh, passing my plan's not the end.
It's just the beginning of what we have to do.
Exactly right.
I told you yesterday they think FDR didn't spend enough in the early years of the Great Depression.
Here's more Obama from the same setting.
We have to reverse many of the policies towards organized labor that we've seen these last eight years.
Policies with which I've sharply disagreed.
I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem.
To me, it's part of the solution.
We need to level the playing field for workers and the unions that represent their interests.
Because we know that you cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement.
All right.
Let's let me address this before we go to the break here, because this this is more uh just flat out BS.
Over the last 100 years, uh, ladies and gentlemen, the middle class, this is what Obama said today.
Over the last 100 years, the middle class was actually this is Biden, too.
Biden, they're they're they're going back and forth, but they're they're on the same message, but this quote actually comes from Biden.
Over the last 100 years, the middle class was built on the back of organized labor.
Without their weight, heft and their insistence starting in the early 1900s, we wouldn't have the middle class we have now, in my view.
Now, this was Biden on CNBC yesterday.
Does anybody know what's factually wrong with that?
Union membership is 12% and plummeting until this election.
The middle class is not big labor.
The middle class is not organized labor.
Their numbers are dwindling, membership numbers.
Then Biden went on to say, so I think labor getting a fair share of the pie is part of it.
So the stimulus plan's gonna go to labor?
It is, and it's gonna do it in Punitive ways.
Now, since organized labor represents a small fraction of the workforce in this nation, and much of it is in government jobs.
Most, you know how many organized labor jobs there are in government?
How can it be said that they represent the middle class?
They may be part of it, but they are not the middle class.
What's happening here is more Obama dumbing down the English language, dumbing down what it means to be in the middle class.
This is where and people like Ali Velshi at CNN fall for this kind of stuff, hook line and sinker.
What Obama is talking about, look at me.
What Obama's talking about with his organized labor middle class task force is nothing more than his constituent groups, big labor, wacko environmentalists, the poor, the slackers, the demanding, the people who aren't accomplishing anything, the people who don't have any skin in the game, who are demanding benefits, galore, health care, and all of that.
There's no middle class tax cut in his bill after promising 95% of Americans a tax cut.
There is no middle class tax cut on his bill.
He can say there is, but there's not, because he doesn't cut the personal income tax rate.
He's giving welfare checks, but he's not cutting the personal income tax rate.
Meanwhile, small businesses not only are ignored, small businesses once again are portrayed as the enemy, and they are going to be the fertile hunting grounds for further union unionization when Obama keeps going.
This is this is all smoke and mirrors trying to redefine the middle class.
The middle class today is nothing more than the constituency groups, the acorns, the community organizers, the code pinks, the unhappy, miserable rabble rousers that make up the core constituency groups, angry women, the feminazis, that's what middle class is now.
Traditional Democrat voters.
And that is what the middle class task force is all about.
Buying votes continually from this group of people while claiming that we care about the middle class, the people that are being so left out of all of this because of these evil Wall Street titans and their bonuses and their jets and their redecorated bathrooms.
And then he's got his army of dumbed down, ignorant reporters and so-called experts all over the drive-by media reporting every lie, every bit of misinformation he can, and then when people point out the truth in the lies of what Obama is saying, then these people then go out and attack those of us who are the agents of truth.
We'll be back right after this.
Welcome to Open Line Friday, folks.
Open line Friday, L. Rushbo, here is President Obama today lying about the United States economy.
This is this morning in the White House at his new middle class working families task force.
Today we've learned that our economy shrank in the last three months of 2008 by 3.8%.
That's the worst contraction in close to three decades.
This isn't just an economic concept.
This is a continuing disaster for America's working families.
The recession is deepening, and the urgency of our economic crisis is growing.
Three decades, 30 years, it's 1978.
The 3.8% annualized drop in the fourth quarter of 2008 marked the weakest quarterly showing in the fourth quarter.
Since a 6.4% annualized plunge in the first quarter of 1982, when the country was suffering through a severe recession.
GDP shrinkage worse than since 1982.
They've been telling us we have the worst economy in the last 50 years of the worst economies of the Great Depression.
It was worse In 1982, and it was precisely a program of tax cuts.
And you know what else that was demonstrated?
We were able to cut taxes, reduce the deficit starting in a couple years after the tax cuts went into play, about 1985 when the deficit started being reduced.
And in addition to that, we did this without inflation.
Which stunned all the Keynesian.
By the way, what John Maynard Keynes, Keynes, and Keynesian is simply just spend as much federal money as you can print.
At a problem, roads and bridges and whatever.
Supply sides Reaganism.
So Obama's out there 3.8%.
He's now saying worse the exact quote here.
Transcript.
Our economy shrank in the last three months.
The worst contraction in close to three decades.
Regardless, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States is trash talking the United States economy for his own benefit.
For the benefit of his party.
As I wrote my Wall Street Journal op-ed yesterday, we don't have to trash talk the economy.
We don't have to depress the hopes and the dreams of the American people.
We don't have to get up and tell them, my God, it's going to be worse than we even knew.
Even though the only upside is I predicted this all during the campaign and all during the last couple months of the year.
You watch, I said, they're going to get in power and they're going to discover things.
Well, that's worse than we even knew.
Look what was held back from us.
Look what we didn't know.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So there you have it.
And there is no sense of euphoria.
The American people are not buying this, are they?
You get any sense that they're all revved up about the porculus bill.
Say, help me out.
Who some company, some outfit, announced uh 6,700 jobs lost yesterday.
You remember who that is?
It puts the total, the casualty total, in Barack Obama's war on prosperity now at 46,700 jobs lost just since January.
Many of those in one day.
And I can't recall I don't remember who it is, what company laid off 6,700 people yesterday.
But guess what?
Disney's laying off 200 ESPN's going to be.
Yeah, it was Kodak.
It was Kodak, that's right.
And now we learn that Disney, ABC ESPN laying off a lot of people coming up soon.
Uh, yes.
We're getting close to the magical 50,000 casualty figure in the Barack Obama war on prosperity.
These are people's lives we're talking about, their jobs, their family.
Starbucks cut some more, that's right, while still flying the jet.
And so we have so we we're getting we're getting dangerously close.
We're we're we're tabulating here, ladies and gentlemen, the uh the casualties in the war on prosperity waged by Barack Obama, just as they shadowed, just they just as they uh talked about the encounter the casualties in the war in Iraq.
Uh there are also shadow casualties as well.
People who are not listed in official jobs, official roles, outsourced workers being cut by some of these companies, too.
So I think we've exceeded.
I think we can say that we have exceeded easily in just this past two weeks.
50,000 casualties with no end in sight.
In fact, uh the general in the war on popp or war on prosperity is telling this more people are going to lose their jobs.
So we will keep a running tally, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
We're getting we're getting into that into that period of time now.
We're we have we're getting close to Quagmire.
In the in the war on prosperity, uh being led by uh President Barack Obama.
I don't relish, unlike the drive-by's in the old days, I don't relish the reporting of these casualties.
But they are real, They are people and it's their lives.
In fact, I'm beginning to see, you know, some of the people that were wiped out by Bernie Madoff.
There's some people now saying he ought to be tried for murder.
I mean, it practically killed people by wiping them out.
So the Obama war on prosperity occurring in the killing fields of American labor.
And I have yet to see one mainstream reporter dispatched to the war zone to get to the bottom of this.
By the way, yesterday at the White House, President Obama signed in a new piece of legislation called the equal pay law.
Meaning women are no longer going to get the shaft in uh in job payment and in compensation.
Because Obama took care of that.
It's named after a woman named Liddy Leadbetter.
Now there's some things about this that you don't know.
There's some things about this that you weren't told.
Obama didn't tell you, and of course the sycophant slobbering drive by media didn't tell you.
Years and years after someone is fired after a after the result of this bill, like Dawn Less for just for an example.
Let's say no, just an example.
I'd rather do it this way than than read some of the lingo of the bill.
Let's say that I fire you.
Okay, fire you and with cause and so forth and so on.
This bill will allow you to sue me years after.
You have been canned.
This is nothing but a huge gift to the trial lawyers.
It will be an enormous burden to businesses.
This is not about equal pay.
This is about pay for the trial lawyers.
It's exactly what this is.
Just it allows businesses or actually fired workers to uh target after you know, after give the lawyers time to reach them and dredge up some phony case of discrimination and then mount the big guns years later when the employee the employer of the company is focused on other things.
All right, let's get a couple of phone calls in here.
Since it is open line Friday, we'll start in Herndon, Virginia.
This is Gary.
Great to have you here, sir.
Welcome.
Thank you very much.
You know, in the interests of national unity and nonpartisanship, I want to change a tone here.
The Democratic Democrats say government spending will solve a problem?
Fine.
Let's get behind them and say, why this tepid trillion dollars?
Make it ten trillion.
Make it twenty trillion.
You're just inventing money out of nowhere.
So let's uh get them to go all the way and fix the whole problem.
Uh uh give them time.
I'm afraid so.
Give them time, it's coming.
They know they can't get that done in one fell swoop.
Obama said today, this is just the beginning, this is not nearly enough.
Do you know, by the way, have you heard about the uh the need for what is being called a bad bank set up of the federal government?
Yeah.
The bad bank is going to be set up to buy the trillions of dollars of toxic assets that are the result of the subprime mortgage crisis.
And do you know how much money the experts are saying, and they're gonna call this TARP too, T A R P 2, 2 trillion dollars.
To buy up all the toxic assets that the 700 billion last fall was supposed to take care of.
Two trillion dollars for the bad bank to buy up the toxic assets.
But it'll be bigger than that.
It will be bigger than that, because the stimulus bill is gonna get over three over over one trillion.
So already we're up to three trillion here if the if the TARP two money is uh is right.
What some people are starting to say, I think Larry Cudlow said this last night on CNBC.
He said, you know, that we we've got to do TARP first.
This this is not a stimulus bill, it's pork.
Well, let's set aside the pork, let's get liquidity back in the banks.
Let's get rid of these toxic assets.
If it takes two trillion for TARP two, let's do it.
But we can't do the stimulus, the porculus at the same time.
And some experts supposedly agreed.
But I his point is if government spending is the salve, why stop it?
one trillion?
It's sort of like the same argument I make about the minimum wage.
Well, if ten dollars an hour is great, why not twenty?
In fact, why not fifty?
Why not fifty dollars an hour minimum wage?
Why not a hundred dollars an hour?
Why not just guarantee everybody two hundred thousand dollars a year, which is what all these jobs are going to cost, if they're ever really created, which they won't be.
And of course, in fact, why even why just give the money directly to the people?
Why don't you just do that if you want to stimulate?
Now the government there's so much in it.
The government is coming up with a plan to make you buy cars.
Wait a second.
I thought we bailed out the auto companies.
Ford didn't want it.
But I thought we bailed out the auto companies.
Now we got a clunker law.
We are going the federal government's coming up with a plan to give you money to go buy a car.
This is out of control.
At the same time, you're being told that the future is worse than anybody knew when in fact we're not even half as bad off as we were in 1982.
My friends.
My other friends at the Heritage Foundation have found something else in the porculus bill.
Listen to this.
This is from www.heritage.org, President Barack Obama's trillion dollar stimulus plan, porculus plan, has morphed into an appropriations bill devoid of debate.
The process forgoes any pretense of targeting unemployed people and resources.
For instance, Obama's porculus bill has this provision, provided further that not less than 140 million dollars shall be available for climate data modeling.
Which raises the question of how many unemployed climate modelers are out there pounding the pavement.
So the heritage people call Pat Michaels, the former president of the American Association of State Climatologists.
He said, I don't know one unemployed modeler.
Now, whether or not another one hundred and forty million dollars for climate data modeling is a good idea, it's hard to see any economic stimulation from this item.
I'll tell you something else that's going on with this.
This establishes you're a climate modeler.
You get money from the federal government.
This government is the Obama government.
They want to propagate this man-made global warming hoax.
You take money from them for your climate computer models when you don't even need it.
What do I wonder your results are going to show?
Exactly what Obama wants.
Where did I find this?
Heritage Foundation.
Ask heritage.org.
It's all I did.
Go to the website, Askheritage.org, special reports on the stimulus, the porculus, any number of things.
Become a member, and you will have an encyclopedia open.
I've been using the Heritage Foundation, one of the most crucial um educational elements throughout the last 20 years of this radio program.
I've I've used them the first moment I discovered them when I when I learned that they were um uh heavy architects of Reagan administration policy, they're quality class people, they're us.
They're us people, they're scholars, but they're not eggheads.
They're scholars and they're brilliant geniuses, but they are not elitists.
Www dotheritage.org, Todd, Red Bank, New Jersey.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for taking my call, Russia.
You bet, sir.
I am high school economics teacher, and I just feel like if people really understood where this money was coming from, they'd be more outraged about this bill, whether it's the increased welfare or more payments to unions or any of the support of the typical constituencies of the Democrats, you think of the GDP, the economy, not as money, but it's it's made up of what we as Americans produce every day.
So it's a $13 trillion pie.
And that sounds like a big pie, but your income is really just your slant of the pie.
Whatever you put into it, you get out of it.
Yeah.
But it's not a zero, it's wait a second.
Here's the it's not a zero-sum game.
Too many people think you get the $13 million pie and you take out a hundred thousand of it.
That they think somebody's lost a hundred thousand.
They don't believe in the growing pie.
How difficult a time do you have?
You teach high school economics, you said.
Uh How difficult is it to teach it?
How difficult is it these kids learn?
Um I'm grading my midterms right now and I'm finding out it's harder than I ever think.
It's just the economy.
It's a difficult thing to understand.
But it's like I said, what I wanted to get to is every dollar that you give to somebody that didn't earn it does come out of somebody else's pocket who did produce that dollar.
Yes, but I'm right.
I know, but but where we are now, the people average Americans think, I don't know how many of them.
Wait to use your example.
We're gonna give somebody who doesn't have a dollar a dollar.
It's gonna come from somebody who had it who earned it.
The prevailing opinion in America is good.
It's not fair that somebody doesn't have a dollar while somebody else does.
We need to punish the person that had the dollar.
Yeah.
Capitalism, unfortunately, capitalism makes so much sense.
It's common sense.
Economics is common sense.
I uh I but it's tough to learn.
It's counterintuitive.
Um it is counterintuitive.
And it ought not be.
Liberalism just you all you have to do is feel it, and you think you are one.
But capitalism, uh conservatism, they're they're they're intellectual applications.
Um how much resistance do you get from these kids?
Because look at a lot of them uh have have formed emotional ideas about society.
They watch MTV, they watch all these shows and read all these magazines and listen to all these songs about the disadvantaged and the poor.
Um how difficult how much do they reject some of the concepts that you try to do?
I think just like your listeners, the more you spend listening to the truth, the more you understand it.
I feel like because I have these students 45 minutes a day every single day, I get to start with the basics and work them up to the point where they understand the concepts like the GDP.
Can't be you can't take one part without taking it from somebody else and give it to them.
Like once you explain those things over time, you don't get much resistance.
But it's like most Democrats, it's an emotional reaction.
It's they deserve this.
We shouldn't have poor people, everyone should have health care.
But when you have time to educate, like your listeners have, then you come to understand the truth.
And that's why programs like yours are so important.
Well, I appreciate that.
I uh I'd love.
I d I would love to be able to go into your class for one day.
And and and to and just listen to some of the objections.
I will fill out the guest speaker request form tomorrow.
I guarantee you're you're in uh where are you?
You you're I'm in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Yeah, Redneck, New Jersey.
I I I a red bank, New Jersey.
I I doubt that your school board uh will consider me anywhere near your campus.
Uh too they will say too partisan and polarizing.
Well, that could be, but I'm I'm just as polarizing as you and they let me show up to work every day.
So just because they don't know it.
That's exactly right.
I can't wait till you start teaching them about taxes.
Oh, good night.
Yeah, that's coming up in the spring.
It's always gonna be it's always fascinating.
It will.
Well, good luck.
You're doing the Lord's work out there.
You really are.
I appreciate it.
Who's next?
Laura in Aurora, Illinois.
Great to have you with us here on the EIB network and open line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Um I just had a quick question.
I you know, you say that the Republicans and you know, all our efforts are always behind the Democrats.
Do you have any ideas for you know, like I I hear of all these different places that you could, you know, find out information about and donate to the Heritage Troundation, Newt has his own website, but it's like I feel like we need one central location to like really get it all together and you know, and come back at these guys.
There i y that's not possible.
No.
I would love that too for my show prep.
Hey no, that's how I'm gonna do it.
No, I'm being very so I I I love look at I spent I my average day.
I finished here yesterday at three o'clock.
I did a couple little things for tomorrow's program for like twenty minutes or so after the program.
I went um I went home and I intended to chill just for an hour and a half.
And before I even had a chance to sit down on the couch, I heard about this new moveon dot org big labor union ad pitting me versus Obama.
And I found out about it because a lot of the drive bys were sending me emails wanting responses.
So I had to sit there and, you know, d tell them what I wanted to say about that.
Then I had to uh I didn't leave the computer to veg at all last night until I got up and went to bed at 1.30.
And all during the I've I've got so many places that I go to put together this program every day to learn what I want to, plus the lib sites, plus the uh the drive-by sites and so forth.
There's it's impossible to have a single, even for conservatism, a single clearinghouse.
Um now for ideological conservatism, though, this is what that's what the Heritage Foundation is.
Like this report I just did on the uh climate uh modelers.
The uh I haven't seen that anywhere else.
I uh I a lot of people are pouring through this.
They have multitudes pouring through this bill, finding things.
But it it it's this is just uh one example of what they do.
You really ask heritage.org is a is is is close to what you if you're just looking for how to understand explain ideological conservatism as applied to current day events.
That's that's a pretty good place to go.
That and my website, the essential stack of stuff at one spot will never happen.
Just it just environmentalist wacko pick for the Super Bowl in the next hour.
The Senate may gin up its gang of 14 to forge compromise on the Obama stimulus bill and move on.
And the union's running an ad targeting me, pitting me against Obama.
