Time Text
The views express but a host of this program make more sense than anything anybody else happens to be saying out there, ladies and gentlemen, I am Rush Limbaugh.
America's real anchor man.
Serving humanity simply by showing up all the while executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
And that is because I am a highly trained broadcast specialist.
The telephone number 800 282-2882 and the email address Lrushball at EIB net.com.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is, let's see, Brad Sherman.
Democrat California interviewing or interrogating the bank CEOs yesterday as part of the House Financial Services Committee hearing.
I'd like you to raise your hand if your company currently owns or leases a private plane.
Let the record show all the hands went up except uh for the uh gentleman from uh Goldman Sachs.
Gentlemen, we know that it's extremely expensive to operate these planes, that you could sell them and generate capital for your company, and that capital could be used to repay taxpayers immediately.
The big show of not buying one particular new plane flies in the face of how you're really flying.
That is, folks, I cannot tell you how this inferiates me.
This Sherman guy obviously is a dunce for a member of Congress to be telling CEOs of anything they have to sell their jets.
Does this guy not understand for crying out loud?
This Congress is supposed to be about creating jobs, we're told.
They're out there trying to destroy the automobile business.
Now they're trying to destroy private aviation.
Do they have no idea who it is that flies these airplanes and why?
Do they have no idea what it takes to build these airplanes?
Do they have no idea the company that owns Cessna is based in Providence, Rhode Island.
I think they just laid off 4600 people.
They just laid off 4600 workers at the company that makes Cessna Jets.
Now, Cessna, one of their assembly plants is in Wichita, Kansas, of course, but the uh the outfit that owns them is a company called Textron.
And let's see, Textron is I think their headquarters is in Rhode Island or New Jersey somewhere, but they laid off 40, they announced layoffs of 4,600 people simply on the basis of what is being said by members of Congress about private aviation.
They are stigmatizing the purchase of a business tool.
They have stigmatized these jets to the point that they're nothing but toys for people.
And that's not the case.
Now I went through yesterday what all is involved.
With a private jet, it's like anything else in business.
It's like any other product.
Businesses use these things as tools to maximize the efficiency of executives' time.
They have business interests all over the world.
And you say, well, they can fly commercial, I have to fly commercial.
If they can afford a prop private jet, and if it makes business sense, what business is of anybody else's that they make the decision to do that?
And it's certainly not these clowns in Congress.
Now you might say, well, it is now rush because these guys are taking federal bailout money.
I know, I know, I know.
That infuriates me even more.
But even as such, for adult like this guy Sherman to be standing up and demanding these guys sell their private jets, Cessna Aircraft has run a full page ad.
Cessna says it's okay to have a private jet.
Their ad in big block letters says, Timidity didn't get you this far.
Why put it in your business plan now?
Why?
And it's directed at business owners, CEOs, boards of directors.
Did you get where you are by being afraid?
Did you get where you are by being timid?
Why be timid now?
A few months after lawmakers bashed Detroit Automakers for traveling to Washington via private plane.
Cessna is making a bold case for corporate America to get back on board.
Cessna makes Cessna, they also make hawkers, and by the Hawker is a great airplane, too.
They make Beechcraft.
they are launching a marketing campaign to convince executives not to uh let their wings be clipped, so to speak.
Timidity didn't get you this far.
True visionaries will continue to fly.
In other words, don't let these little imbeciles in Washington guilt you out of a time-saving decision.
Support needs to be given to businesses that have the good judgment and courage to use corporate jets, not only to survive the current economic downturn, but to find ways to turn the economy around, said Jack Pelton, who's the Cessna chief executive.
This guy gets every gold star I have to offer.
Jack Pelton is putting his career on the line, standing up to these people in Congress.
He said the reality of business aviation's a far cry from the misconception of CEOs flying in large luxurious airplanes.
Most of these aircraft are fairly spartan.
They're designed for business with a cabin about the size of a minivan or an SUV interior.
And he's talking about his Cessnas and his hawkers.
And the beach jets.
Now the biggest Cessna private jet is the citation 10.
It is the fastest jet in the sky.
I happen to think it looks like a pregnant cat.
But it is the fastest jet in this.
Arnold Palmer flies one.
And I don't hear anybody telling Arnold Palmer to get out of his.
Now, I've been in one.
And they're fine airplanes.
One seat on each side of the aisle.
The center aisle is lowered from the floor so that you can stand up in there.
And you even at that, you barely can.
But when he says Spartan, I know what he means.
There are not gadzooks full of all this state of the art electronics and so forth.
And if there is, you have to pay for it.
Let me give you an example.
Direct TV.
You can have DirecTV in a jet if you want to.
Do you know what it costs?
Would you like to know what it costs?
Would you really want to know what it costs?
$600,000.
Just to have it installed.
That's for four receivers.
The antenna, I'll tell you why it costs this much, why it doesn't cost you $600,000 at home.
The antenna for direct TV in an airplane has to be tiny enough to fit in the tail.
At the top of the tail, do you realize when you're flying an airplane at 500 miles an hour, the challenge of keeping that antenna locked onto that satellite when you're banking, when you're turning, when you're taxiing on the ground?
This was a tremendous technological feat to get this done.
You can now get wireless internet in jets, and that's by the way, it's not just corporate jets that have direct TV.
JetBlue has it.
And a number of other airlines are now starting to put wireless internet up there.
That costs another $500,000.
And that's tricky because that satellite, that's in orbit satellite.
It's amazing.
The feet, look at the people that invented it, look at the people that designed it, look at the people that market it and sell it.
All of this is private secular stimulus.
And all the people that work at the plants that manufacture all of this are probably largely Democrat voters.
They are the quote unquote little guy.
Now a jet just doesn't get built.
It's got people that have to make it, design it, build it, complete it, do the interior.
You realize, do you know the hassle that you have to go through to get one of these things certified to fly after it's manufactured?
It can take an additional six weeks just going through the FAA to get the damn thing certified.
You know what that costs?
Then after you take delivery, you have to put fuel in it at whatever that costs.
Somebody benefits.
There are things called fixed base operators on airports.
They are just jet gas stations.
That's what they do.
And they provide facilities for pilots to do flight plans, plan the next leg of their trip or whatever.
It's it's uh it's you know, it's A little step up from a gas station, but this is essentially what it is.
They all have employees.
They all they all have employees.
And then who do you think services this?
When the plane comes, it's got to be cleaned up.
And the laboratory has to be has to be cleaned and sterilized.
And then the line crew has to come out, and if you're staying overnight, tow it someplace.
I mean, the support staff for an airplane is made up of quote-unquote little guys, quote unquote little people.
And so you, as a member of Congress, you start threatening these guys, sell your plane, you're stigmatizing the whole corporate jet industry, and you're going to make it tough for other people because they're going to be guilt laden and they're not going to want to be conspicuous, so either park their jets or they'll not buy new ones.
And so the very people that exist to support them and keep them in the sky, probably going to be laid off too from manufacturing on down to completion, all the way down to the FBO level.
All the way down, I mean, a lot of airports, their number one service, number one traffic generator is private.
Here in Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, over half of the flights every year are private.
The airport survives on it.
It's just now been stigmatized.
There are five or six FBOs at this airport alone.
They're all over the place.
This is no different than these people targeting the SUV.
This is no different than the way they're playing the global warming scam.
Meanwhile, it's okay for Nancy Pelosi to fly her 757 or whatever it is for her whole family to get from Washington to California.
It's okay for these guys to take junkets on these very planes, by the way.
It's okay for them to take junkets or campaign trips as long as they only pay first class fare.
Let's say you get on a, I don't know what the direct operating costs of a citation 10 are.
But let me just pick a number, and if I'm wrong, I'll apologize later.
But let's say the DOCs of a per hour of a citation 10 are um, let's say 2,000, $2,500.
It may even be higher.
A Gulf Stream 4, Gulf Stream $550, the direct operating costs back when the gas was four bucks a gallon for cars, it got up to $3,500 in some cases $4,000.
If you go charter one, you're gonna pay $5,000 an hour.
Members of Congress can fly on these things.
So let's say you take at $5,000 an hour.
Let's say you take a, and if you charter, you got a four-hour minimum, that's $20,000 minimum.
Go to New York and come back five hours or something like that, plus whatever time it's parked on the ground out of use, reduced rate for that.
Let's say the whole trip can cost you 40 grand, member Congress pays first class equivalent to fly on the airplane.
He's now trying to get the corporate CEOs to sell.
It's the law.
It's a law.
They can't tape gratis trips, but they do have to reimburse at first class commercial rates for the same leg.
Uh I I just the the citation 10, uh, the fastest airplane in the sky, if if they want to really throttle it to the wall, it'll outrun anything out there.
Uh not by much, maybe 25, 30 miles an hour, but to some people that matters who want to get where they want to go quick because they've got to get things done when they get there.
The airplane has to be serviced every every year.
It is federal law that you have to park the airplane for at least a week for an inspection.
Federal law, you've got to take it back to manufacture, it gets inspected.
Manufacturers have entire departments and divisions that just inspect aircraft.
Once your airplane gets to 1,200 hours, they have to tear it apart.
They x-ray the wings, they do all kinds of this as safety regulations.
Then they have to put it back together.
This costs the owner.
The owner pays the manufacturer, and whatever repairs have to be made, and engine.
Depending on the airplane, depending on the engine, after you get to a certain number of hours, the engine has to be overhauled down to zero hours, meaning rebuilt to brand new.
It can cost a million dollars an engine to do this.
Well, now you may think, well, I don't have a million dollars to overhaul.
Well, somebody does, and the people doing the overhaul are the little guys who are getting paid to do it.
Now, all of this support system is now being threatened by the very people who claim to be for the little guy.
This Brad Sherman guy is an adult.
Who do these people think they are?
And who, if I would have been one of those CEOs yesterday, I would have stood up and I would have, who do you think you are telling me how to run my business?
And of course the envy is not, well, you took my money.
You took taxpayer money.
And I would have had to sit down, but then I would have pop right back up.
It's the worst decision I ever made to take your money, because you clowns don't know.
And at first place I'd stand up.
You people put me in this position.
You people forced me to make loans to people that couldn't even repay them.
You know, this is the this is a this like I said yesterday, these guys at the CEOs yesterday, they are not the target.
They are the symbols.
What is on tap for everybody here is the full assault on capitalism.
That's what's happening in Washington, D.C. today.
That's what's happening with these CEOs up there.
Now these costs that I mentioned about private aircraft.
You think that's something try owning an airline and having to buy airplanes that cost 70 and 80 and 100 million each and having to maintain those according to federal regulations, then sell tickets with competitors, and you've got your own support staff.
Aviation's not cheap.
Do you understand what aviation do you understand gravity?
Do you know what it takes to get something that weighs thousands of tons in the air flying 600 miles an hour?
Oh Rush, how come it how come it can't fly a 300?
Well, it could, but you'd burn up far more fuel.
You would waste fuel at 300 miles an hour because you'd be much lower.
You'd have much more air to fly through.
Besides all of that, besides all that it's the in order to create the air pressure deferential that people call lift, you have to have enough speed.
A 747, fully loaded, needs 10,000 feet of runway, and has to take that much to get up to 120 miles an hour ground speed.
I think that's their rotate speed.
But you've got to add speed to it to keep it there.
That takes power.
That takes amazing thrust.
That takes all kinds of fuel.
It's amazing that it's been invented, created, and that it works, but it isn't cheap.
I don't care what kind of aviation you're talking about.
Even if you go to little Cessna 150, that's still that's quite costly compared to driving in a car.
Not nearly as expensive as a jet or anything else, but the idea that that things that cost a lot that only people with a lot of money can afford to buy or use should be eliminated from our existence because not everybody can when everybody benefits from it.
You may not know a single person that flies a corporate jet, but if they are operating in a business environment and it's a business that you happen to patron, the Walmart people flying around a corporate jets.
They have one of the most smoothly run business models in the country.
I guarantee you benefit from their employees flying around and their management flying around.
You just don't stop to think of it.
But all of this is interconnected.
None of it's a zero-sum game.
I'm a little long.
I got a quick time out here, folks, back in just a second.
Hey, by the way, uh, folks, what one more thing on this private jet business, two things.
One group I keep leaving out are the pilots.
You need pilots to fly these things, and they're not raking in huge bucks.
I mean, they make more than an able natur uh uh a national average uh by a lot, but you still need people to fly these.
They have to go to school to stay upgraded and updated on the latest navigation systems or what have you.
They have to constantly get recertified.
There are people that run those schools.
They get paid for pilot recertification.
I mean, it's just it's like this is this is like this yacht business.
You know, they raise taxes on the yachts, and people went out and bought yachts outside the country, and the people that make the yachts lost their jobs.
The yachts were sold elsewhere than here in America.
They repealed that tax, the luxury tax on the yachts.
In addition, some of these corporate jet owners uh charter their jets when they're not using them.
A lot of jet Owners figure out I got nothing gained by this airplane sitting on the ground.
So they will charter it when they know they're not going to use it.
And they'll try to try at least to defray, you don't make a whole lot of money chartering, you can if that's all you do, but at least you defray your own operating expenses.
And the people that that business is like anything else.
I mean, these people are not, it's not like, hey, well, let's go buy a corporate jet.
You know, I'm a big CEO, I want to go fly around.
And so there are business reasons why this is done in most cases.
But yeah, look, they're bad actors throughout business, and I'm not trying to um make a brief here for every corporate exec as being clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, but I'll tell you something.
I know for a fact, folks, that I would trust and I would work for, and I would promote and I would sponsor your average small businessman far more than I would want to go work for somebody in Congress running a business.
You know, we Americans used to be proud that we built things.
We used to be proud that we generated a national wealth and a national gross domestic product that created opportunities for prosperity for anybody who wanted to access our great capitalist system.
Anyone could take their shot at it.
And we're stigmatizing that whole thing.
And we are we're being told that the achievers, the builders of great things, the achievers, they are somehow now to be suspected, they're suspects.
We're to be ashamed of them.
They are giving the world the wrong impression of America.
And so forth.
And it's just I tell you, it frosts me.
Just this whole business yesterday frosted me.
I keep thinking of things.
One more thing about the private jet business.
From the standpoint of employees.
In the case of a Gulf Stream, it can take about a hundred to a hundred and fifteen days to make an airplane to build just it's called a green airplane before any interiors in it, before it's painted.
Comes out of there in a hundred days, it's green.
It can take another hundred and fifty to complete it, meaning complete the interior, paint it, put all of the electronics in, everything that's going to go in this thing and make it.
I mean, it's able to fly, but when it comes out of the uh manufacturing plant, but it's not able to carry passengers, it's not certified for anything other than test pilot activity.
Now, the people who complete these airplanes, and the people who make them, they're two different plants at most manufacturers.
Uh Gulfstream, for example, manufactures in uh Savannah, Georgia, and I think someplace else in in Georgia, but they have completion centers in Appleton, Wisconsin, also in Savannah, and Long Beach, California.
So when the plane's done, they fly it because it takes longer to complete.
They need more completion centers than they do assembly lines.
And the people that do all this work, it's to them it's a work of art.
They take their job as seriously as anybody else, and it's crucial.
They're dealing with something that people are putting their lives in, they're they're trusting their lives to these people that manufacture these airplanes.
These people that work on these airplanes inside and out know that firsthand, they consider what they do to build these aircraft, works of art.
They are not rich people.
They are they are they're manufacturing types.
I mean, they're they're they're assembly line people, they're highly talented and gifted, but they're woodworking specialists, they are electronic specialists, uh, avionic specialists, but at the same time, they and they're in the process now, everything they do is being stigmatized by a bunch of adult members of Congress who are trying to destroy,
well, they are in the process of damaging, whether they're trying to or not, all of these industries that all these little people who are supposed to benefit from all of this stimulus are working at.
I just find it so strange that these people in Congress have no more respect for the people who do the real work that makes this country work, And yet they say they stand for them and they represent them when they are in the process here of targeting them.
Maybe indirectly.
But if you fix it so that nobody's got the guts to buy a jet, well then nobody's gonna have to build one, and nobody's gonna have to complete one, and nobody's gonna have to service one.
And then the layoffs start.
And that's called compassion.
I want you to listen to how bad it is.
After this Dalt Sherman from California told these execs, well, you can sell all your jets, and you can put that capital work.
By by the way, this notion that they have to sell the jets because they might have bought them with and they didn't.
Nobody Bank of America, Citibank did not buy their jet with uh TARP money.
They ordered it four years ago.
They got it probably cost them more money to to not take it than to take it.
The penalties for refusing delivery.
I mean I could go on and on and on about this.
But they didn't use taxpayer dollars.
But even if they did, what the hell's Barney Frank living on?
What the hell's Nancy Pelosi living on?
Obama, every damn one of them's salary is taxpayer money.
And they have all these perks and junkets and benefits, they dare sit there and tell private sector people what they can and can't do with private sector money.
I'll tell you what, I damn well would love to be able to convene my own hearings and find out what all these people in Congress are doing with our taxpayer money and pass judgment on their usage of it, just as they're passing judgment on everybody else's use of their own private money.
All of all of their money that they live on and pay themselves is ours that is taken from us in taxes.
Somehow taxpayer funds become holier than now.
Except when they're in the government, why they're sure to be no questions asked.
There shall be no doubt, whatever failed, because these are our modern day royalty.
Listen to the the uh CEO of Citibank, this in his opening statement yesterday.
I would also like to say something about the airplane that was in the news.
We did not adjust quickly enough to this new world.
And I take personal responsibility for that mistake.
In the end, I canceled delivery.
We need to do a better job of acknowledging and embracing the new realities.
This is this he doesn't mean a word of that.
He is just saying this to satisfy these nebobs up there.
We need to understand the new reality, and the new reality is that you're not gonna let us buy these jets.
The new reality is the government is gonna tell us what we can and cannot do.
And that money was purchased with money that that company earned or had or whatever long before TARP came along.
Here is a Republican, Walter Jones, North Carolina, warning the bankers to show compassion.
At this time to help the image of the biking industry, show compassion, show compassion for that American citizen that's out there losing their jobs, having a cut in pay.
You need to nationally speak to some of these things, all of you, if you issue charge cards, and say that yes, we're gonna suck it up, too, by the way, Mr. Taxpayer, and we're gonna take less in interest so you can have a better quality of life and maybe meet some of your bills.
Have compassion.
So that's a Republican lecturing these guys.
Now I want you to listen to this next bite.
This is I know it's torture.
This is Ruben Hinojosa, Democrat Texas.
He had this exchange with the uh Bank of New York Mellon's Robert Kelly, State Street Corporation's Ronald Log, Morgan Stanley's John Mack, Ken Lewis of Bank of America, and John Stump from Wells Fargo.
What type of outreach have all of you and your companies made to help homeowners on the verge of losing their homes?
Congressman, we're not in the uh mortgage business.
Congressman, we also are not in the uh mortgage business.
Congressman, we do have an outreach program.
We've had it for some time.
Congressman, we service one in seven mortgages in America, and we have doubled our staff to six thousand people who spend uh make thousands and thousands of calls a day contacting people who are either past to or potentially would become past due.
Okay, so the wizard of smart there, Democrat Congressman Ruben Hinojosa.
What are you doing?
What kind of outreach to help honour homeowners on the verge of losing their homes?
We don't sell mortgages, Congress.
We don't sell mortgages.
We don't sell more.
Oh, we have a big outreach program.
We have just idiots.
They just they're just grandstanding idiots.
Okay, back to the phones we go, and one final attaboy to Cessna.
Manufacturers Cessna, Hawker, Beechcraft.
I think they even do some leers, but they are CEO of Cessna is standing up, Jack J. Pelton, deserves some major gold star attaboys for standing up to this relentless assault on capitalism.
His business of manufacturing jets is just as valid as any other business in this country because there is a demand for it.
Here is Sue Ann in Pozo, California.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Oh, Maha Rushi, I'm very nervous.
I choose not to participate in any of this that's going on, and I think other people should choose the same.
What do you mean by that?
Anyone who can live on as little as possible or is smart enough to learn how to live on as little as possible can choose not to participate.
If we it sounds horrible, but if we it bring it on faster.
Oh, I get it.
Your your definition of not participating in the recession is spending the bare minimum and letting businesses that you used to patronize suffer so that the economic crash speeds up to what end.
I I'm not quite sure.
I think once there's a catastrophe, people get smarter.
We have saved the weak and the stupid for so long that everybody's weak and stupid.
Yeah, you know, normally we kind of uh blanch at that kind of direct language, but we have uh what did you say?
We've saved the weak and stupid for so long that everybody's weak and stupid.
Yeah.
It's not the case that everybody's weak and stupid yet, Sue Ann.
Well, I'm pretty sure.
We haven't reached that point yet.
We do have a frightening number of slackers.
I mean, there's no question, and the the candidacy of Barack Obama has no doubt brought the slackers to the forefront.
I don't know if it actually created new ones.
I'm I'm afraid afraid that it did.
Yes, I I'm I'm sure it did.
Why it I'm the wife of an achiever.
And I see all of these underachieving and no achieving people.
Well, I just want to take a moment to uh applaud you.
Thank you.
You have the courage and the guts to call a national radio program and admit that your husband is an achiever, thereby making of your husband and you a target.
A very courageous move that you just made here.
Well, thank you.
A little scary.
A lot scary.
I'm scared a lot.
Where's uh where's Pozo, California, by the way?
It's a little farming community in Central California.
Oh, you Central Valley?
Uh no.
We're closer to the coast than that.
Okay.
But uh yeah, they're trying to run the farmers and the ranchers out of California now, too.
Oh, yeah.
In fact, not just they're in Tennessee or Kentucky.
There's a thirty million dollars in the stimulus plan for some little mouse.
Yes, I I heard that.
You see that?
I can't, I'm in looking for the uh story even now as we speak.
It put it here at the uh I have to say that I will have no respect for an environmentalist until I see them sitting on the side of the road eating grass.
You know I like you, Sue Ann.
I really do.
I'm glad you called.
I I it it's it's refreshing to hear him, so I I I like hearing from you, you you you don't care who you offend, do you?
You're not afraid.
You'll just say whatever you want to say.
That's right.
I'll tell you you and the Cessna guy today, you've made my day.
Wait, we need more of you.
Thank you, Sue Ann Wayne in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Welcome to the EID.
Hey, how are you doing?
Whoa, yeah, fine.
How are you?
Okay.
Listen.
What kind of wait a second?
Wait a wait a second.
Wait a second.
Wait.
What kind of phone are you on?
Hold on.
Let's fix that.
This better?
No.
The f that what was better, I the previous.
I want to know what kind it is.
Oh, hold on.
I go back to that.
Yeah.
How's that?
Great.
What kind of phone is it?
Actually, it's a regular old ATT phone.
Remember that company?
Yeah, and you probably bought it at a Kmart or a Walmart or something, right?
I don't know where we got it.
Well, I'll tell you what, it sounds great.
But there's a plantronics headset plugged into it.
I'm not talking through the regular.
Oh, I see.
So you're using a microphone right up there next to your oral cavity.
Well, actually, it's it's you know, it's got two earpieces and the little thing that comes out in front of your mouth.
Yeah, that's called a microphone.
Oh, it's great.
Yeah.
Anyway, you want me to get to the point where Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry I delayed you from doing that.
No, that's fine.
Listen, you know, I'm unemployed, and and I sit here and I listen to these senators and congressmen telling me there's no pork in this thing.
There's 20 million dollars in it for a mouse.
All right.
That does that have to be, and I think that's what we need to do right now.
We gotta bra break down what we would like to have and what we absolutely need to survive.
And half of the stuff in this package isn't what we need.
It's what we'd like to have.
I mean, it's a picture of Obama today.
Wait a second.
Go ahead.
You disappoint me.
Why?
I've looked at this.
I don't see too much in it I want.
Me neither.
Certainly not half of it.
Exactly.
There's nothing in this thing I'd like to.
Do you realize that there is absolutely no evidence that any stimulus package in the last eighty years has ever goosed economic activity?
I didn't get to that point yet.
Yes, I agree with you.
Well, let me back out of your way then, and you go ahead with your uh two hair pieces and a microphone.
Well, no, it's it's just it's embarrassing to the United States that these people would stand up before the world and insist that this is a stimulus package when all it is, it's blatant spending.
I mean, d do you know anything about building a small bridge?
Most of it isn't even built on a site.
It's all built modular.
