Time Text
All right, what's happening here?
Hang on just a second, folks.
I've got a loose battery here in my cochlear implant.
Just a second.
Of all times for this to happen.
Hang on just a second out there.
Only Brian did this.
All right, hang on just a second.
This happened once before, and I thought the unit was going out.
It was just a loose battery.
All right, that should fix it.
Testing one, too.
Okay.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution, also known as the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
A thrill and a delight to be with you.
Mike, Grant Audio Soundbites 25 and 26.
You remember I was telling you what I saw on CNBC with what I read about.
I read a summary, a transcript summary.
Here are the two soundbites.
Clifton, this is Dan Clifton of Strategis or Strategis Research Partners.
And Larry Kudlow says, look, there's a big energy play, wind, solar.
Wrap these two real quickly.
Do you have a winner, a loser, or what?
There's a new grant program.
So the wind thesis works.
I looked at Vestus Wind.
I looked at First Solar.
I look at Sun Power.
Obama is moving us into a direction, whether you agree with it or not, where it's going to be renewable energy.
That's where they're pushing.
They'll do anything to get there.
There's going to be new demand in legislation.
The wind thesis works at this point with these two pieces of legislation.
We're creating the infrastructure for this renewable energy.
That's GE.
Those are the tech companies that have to write the software to create this type of new electricity.
All right, let's go down a couple others.
Quickie here.
Healthcare, IT, Microsoft.
Is that true?
I would say that they are going to win.
In each of these issues, whether it's renewable energy, healthcare information technology, we can go right down the line.
Microsoft is positioning themselves to be the big winner in this stimulus package because they're writing the software to make this happen.
Now, this is the guy that is advising his investment clients not to look at the performance of the company or the balance sheet, but rather how much lobbying they are doing.
Because if they're doing a lot of lobbying, they're going to get government contracts.
And it doesn't matter whether they succeed or not.
They're going to have a lot of investment and the stock price is going to go up.
This brought the following reaction from Donald Luskin.
Kudlow says, Don Luskin, what do you make of this rundown, old buddy?
Well, Larry, I'm not even going to dignify this by pretending that they're going to be winners.
This green energy stuff.
Come on.
Throwing subsidies at stupid, unprofitable ideas isn't going to make stupid, unprofitable companies profitable.
It'll just make them subsidized for a year.
You're not right.
My winner in this stimulus bill is gold, because this is leading straight to inflation.
Donald Luskin putting the truth to...
Snurdly told me during the break he thinks the economy is going to rebound in four years, and the big challenge that we're going to have is making sure Obama doesn't get the credit for it.
He preceded that by telling me that he thinks...
We were watching Obama walk to the helicopter.
I guess his piece of videotape watched.
By the way, have you heard about the helicopter deal?
We have, at present, we have 11 helicopters that are in the Marine One fleet.
Most of them are old Sikorskys made in Connecticut.
Obama is faced with a decision of picking up 19 new Marine One helicopters.
Each of these helicopters, each of the new ones, cost more than the current Air Force One 747.
My friends, do you understand this?
We're talking about a presidential helicopter that costs more than a 747 that was purchased in 1990, like 19 years ago.
That is even hard for me to get my arms around.
A 747 being dwarfed in cost by a single helicopter.
The total bill for these 19 new Marine One helicopters will be something in the neighborhood of $6 to $7 billion.
And the reason that they're so expensive, they've got to equip them with all the state-of-the-art communications stuff for the 15-minute ride from the White House out to Andrews Air Force Base.
Anti-missile stuff, direct TV, who knows, $180,000 rear screen projection for the TV to watch direct TV while you're in the 15-minute flight from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base.
Do you know when the helicopter entered the presidential fleet?
I think it was 1957, and Eisenhower was in New Hampshire, and there was some crisis, and he had to get to the airport to get back to Washington.
And there was a big traffic jam, and he couldn't get there.
And he said, we can't have this.
We can't have the president tied up in traffic.
So helicopters entered the presidential air fleet in around 1957, I think, maybe 56.
And of course, the New York Times has this story, a tough decision for Obama.
Very tough decision in these times of economic squalor.
There is a proposed ordinance that would protect not only bikers, but also pedestrians and drivers from carelessly open car doors.
And it did receive an endorsement from the Madison, Wisconsin City Safety Board last Tuesday night.
The Public Safety Review Board voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance for approval by the City Council.
It'll be taken up by one more committee, the city's Pedestrian Bicycle Motor Vehicle Commission, before it goes to the council for final approval.
The Pedestrian Bicycle Motor Vehicle Commission in Madison, Wisconsin.
Alderman Robbie Weber, a sponsor of the ordinance, stressed that the ordinance protects any users of the road from being hit by a car door.
No, it doesn't.
The ordinance calls for a $100 ticket for a motorist opening a vehicle's door unsafely or interfering with traffic and a $50 ticket for leaving a car door open longer than necessary.
It's really just a question of common sense, she said, Robbie Weber.
People thought it was on the books already.
This is not a matter of common sense.
It has come to this.
It is not a matter of common sense.
It's the government taking over our lives so we don't need to have any common sense.
And then you add a tax to pull in more money to the government coffers.
Now, I will admit, it happens to me three out of five days on the way home from work.
I'll tell you right, it happens right across from the church there, right in front of a little grocery store and a drugstore, and these aging drivers, you know, they try to parallel park going in nose first.
The tail into the car is hanging about two feet out in the street, and then grandpa or grandma opens the door without any regard for anybody coming, and it might take them 30 seconds to hoist themselves out of there.
So you just, you realize that's what you get used to this.
So you just, you're prepared when you see some seasoned citizen parking in front of the drugstore.
You realize they're not going to have any consideration if a car is coming.
They're just going to open a door.
So you wait.
It's called defensive driving.
Now, I guarantee you, if they had the police where I live have to monitor this, frankly, if a door opened to a bicycle rider, I wouldn't care.
I think they ought to be off the streets and on the sidewalks.
Those guys, don't misunderstand here, you bike riders.
Do not misunderstand this.
But just, I mean, if you're going to get in the street, get over there.
Get over as far right in the lane as you can.
You ought to see it Saturday morning where I live.
It looks like a swarm of mosquitoes.
It causes you to take an alternate route.
And so now, poor bike riders, somebody, old Codger, opens the car door, bam, the bike rider does a head flip over the door.
I haven't seen that.
Now they want to clock, not only fine you for opening the door, you don't close it soon enough, you get a $50 fine in Madison, Wisconsin.
How many promises did Obama break during the process of getting the stimulus bill passed in Congress?
The number is seven.
Here are the promises that were broken.
Make government open and transparent.
Make it impossible for congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.
Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public.
Republicans were shut out.
No more secrecy, he said.
Number five, the public will have five days to look at the bill on the website.
This is day Friday, this is day four.
He's going to sign it tomorrow.
You'll know what's in it.
Nobody knows what's in it.
Nobody knew what's in it when they voted for it.
And seven, we will put every pork barrel project online.
Not one of Obama's promises were met in the entire process.
All right, audio soundbite time.
Bill Clinton says that our very civilization is teetering on the brink here because of global warming.
He was on the Today Show this morning.
The co-host at Ann Curry interviewed Clinton.
She said, This week you've been reading this article in Time magazine lists you as number 13 on the list of who is to blame for our current economic crisis.
Should you be 13 on that list?
Oh, no.
Well, let me ask you this.
My question to them is: do any of them seriously believe if I had been president and my economic team had been in place the last eight years that this would be happening today?
And I think they know the answer that's wrong.
No.
Well, that's a hell of a defense.
I think everybody knows.
If my economic team had been in place, nobody's thinking it.
He had his own trouble.
But look at, look at, I mean, the guy that let Osama bin Laden run around half-free without doing a thing about it.
Come on, Mr. President.
The dirty little secret is Clinton is part of the problem with the Community Redevelopment Act.
His economic team was threatening the banks if they didn't make these worthless loans.
The Bush administration tried, what is it?
What did I, 11 times to tighten regulation on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And it was beat down by the Democrats in Congress at every turn.
The only way, folks, I have to be honest with you here, I always am.
The only way that Bill Clinton could say and be truthful, oh, hell no, let me ask you this.
My question to them is, did any of them seriously believe if I've been president of my economic team been in place the last eight years, this would be happening today?
I think they know the answer.
That's right, Mr. President, because you would have cooked the books.
Just like you did with the Commerce Department's closing numbers when you left office.
The Clinton administration would have cooked the books.
Here's what he should have finished this up with, and let me tell you how we'd have done it too.
I mean, everybody knows this.
We'd have cooked the books, and idiots like you, you'd never know how bad it was until the next administration got in pound.
You blame them.
That's exactly what happened.
You think my buddy's going to take the blame for something like this?
You think it's ever happened?
No way, babe.
No way.
What are you doing later, by the way?
Clinton Global Initiative in town here.
What are you doing?
I want to show you how liberals think.
This was Friday.
They had a seminar at Georgetown University during a conference on the presidential transition.
The moderator was John Harris of the Politico.
And he spoke with George Steffi Stephanopoulos from ABC.
John Harris said, how much does that increase the challenge that President Obama has of changing the tone, the partisan tone in Washington?
The fact that there's this industry that to some extent feeds on conflict and ideological debate.
Now, I don't know what industry he's talking about.
I would wager talk radio.
But I think the industry that feeds on conflict and ideological debate is the drive-bys.
We just clean up their messes here every day.
But here's what Stephanopoulos said.
It makes it tough because to the extent you take it on, it appears to be a partisan act.
You know, so when the president takes on Rush Limbaugh, who he thinks is just, you know, engaging in Shout Fest, it becomes fodder for the echo chamber.
So what is this?
Stephanopoulos saying that Obama attacked me in order to stop partisan attacks.
But when you do that, it looks like you're being partisan when he's really trying to change the tone.
He was just trying to change the tone when he called me out.
Oh, I didn't figure that out.
He was just trying to change the tone when he called me out and told people to stop listening to me.
I don't know if that conference call is still happening.
Ron Emmanuel, James Carville, the forehead Paul Bagala, and Stephanopoulos.
They are on it.
They were.
I don't know if it's still happening, but Ram Emmanuel, chief of staff, had called those guys for a conference call.
The old Clinton war room guys every day to discuss the day's agenda.
Speaking of Carville, he was on CNN Situation Room on Friday night.
The fill-in host Suzanne Malvo asked Carville, the president really put a lot of time in at least courting Republicans.
Do you think it was worth it?
Do you think he should have just given up on that and basically go with his own base at this point?
My friend Ron Emmanuel said today that they didn't waste some time on bipartisanship.
I mean, look, this is speeches.
This is for college kids in Iowa and columnists and weekly magazines and newspapers.
Ron, they don't want you to succeed.
They're not going to be for you.
None of them.
Rush Limbaugh said it.
He said, I don't want him to succeed.
It's a show that's dominated by talk radio and southern base, and that's just what the Republican Party is.
You can't get more Southern than Carville.
Rush Limbaugh.
Ron, they don't want you to succeed.
Rush Limbaugh said it.
Where you been?
Don't you know that?
Don't you know that?
Rush wants you to fail.
Which is right.
I want this whole plan to bomb out.
And the only way this plan will bomb out is if it causes the pain that we know it's going to cause.
But I hope it, because folks, if this quote-unquote works, it can only work for Democrats.
It can only work for the big government types.
It can only work for the authoritarians.
You better join me in hoping this thing fails because there's nothing in this to create people's jobs.
There's nothing in this that's going to create careers.
This is not about that at all.
This is about stimulating Obama's presidency, stimulating the Democrat Party.
And we go back to the phones.
People have been waiting patiently for a long time today.
Cordova, Tennessee.
Joe, thank you, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush, and good morning from sunny Timberlake Drive.
The observation I have, and it might be worthy of your comment, is when they were talking about this Porculus bill and shovel-ready projects.
Well, the largest shovel-ready project in the country is the new fence trying to protect our borders between Mexico and the United States.
No, That's off the table now.
Well, of course it is.
But this would be something they should work on.
Yeah, but Obama doesn't believe in that.
Well, of course not.
But I think, you know, what is interesting is if you go 800 miles north, there's going to be a $8 billion, apparently fast rail connection between Los Angeles, which is Assistant President Pelosi State, to Las Vegas, which is assistant President Reed State, which I think is very interesting.
It's not just Los Angeles.
The train is from Disneyland.
Oh, that's right.
It is Disneyland.
To Las Vegas.
Yes.
See, this is another thing out there, Joe.
The environmental impact study on this train is going to take five years before they even get the first shovel to break ground.
The environmental impacts five.
Yeah, but it is Disneyland to Las Vegas.
All right, but it's just from Orange County.
Well, the only rich people left out there in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Orange County.
The only people who can be able to afford to go to Las Vegas.
But I think it's really interesting they're not spending a penny for the protection of our border.
Well, now, Joe, why would you think they would?
Well, they should, but there are Democrats who are afraid to lose the Latino vote, I guess.
Yeah, that's a pretty good guess.
Just like the infrastructure for national health care is in place in the porculous bill, it ain't going to be long before we go back to amnesty.
And it isn't going to be long before we start doing a number of...
I'll bet you by this summer Obama comes back for another stimulus package after they do TARP 2 sometime in March.
Mark my words.
That's the way this is going to happen.
Remember, FDR didn't spend enough soon enough.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, another email.
I love getting these emails too.
They are extremely satisfying.
Dear Rush, infinite dittos, you have changed my life politically.
Now you've saved me from computer failure.
After hearing you talk about Carbonite, I purchased it using Offer Code Rush, of course, and it saved me.
Hundreds of pictures of my crumb crunchers were restored after a worm killed my hard drive.
Thanks don't ever stop.
I keep getting emails a lot about this.
Carbonite is a backup system for your computer that it's online, but it's nowhere near.
You back it up online to servers that Carbonite has.
It happens every time you use the computer.
It happens in the background.
Once you do it the first time, once you tell it to start, it just updates everything that changes.
It doesn't update your whole computer all the time, just files that change.
Just like standard backup programs that you would have on a second hard drive or something, if you do an incredible backup, it'll only back up the files that have changed.
That's what this does.
So the first backup can take a little while to do, depending on how much data you have on your hard drive.
Your hard drive's going to go on you.
A worm's going to eat it.
A cat's going to knock milk in it, or something's going to happen.
It always does.
It's going to get, if it gets stolen, it's even worse.
But if it's, you just, depending, more and more people putting more and more important things on their hard drives, and they're just guaranteed to fail at something at some time.
And if you have your hard drive backed up with Carbonite, it's a simple matter to restore with a new hard drive, a new computer, or whatever.
They're freeze, they crash.
43% of people lose irreplaceable files every year.
And Carbonite, spawning all kinds of cheap competitors out there now.
But they are the number one online backup system because Carbonite securely automatically backs up your hard drive whenever you're connected to the internet, stores it off-site, and restoration is easy.
And now this special deal because they are aware of the economic crisis that we're in.
You get a full year.
Well, actually, you get 14 months for the price of a full year, $3.57 a month.
Just go to carbonite.com, use offer code Rush, Carbonite.com.
That's something that once you do it, you'll forget about it.
You'll forget about it until the worst happens.
And then you too will be sending me an email in case you missed this.
Earlier in the program on Saturday from a Daily Telegraph, actually, this is from Australia.
I misidentified it earlier as the UK.
This is an Australian newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, a blog by Tim Blair.
The headline, Hassan Chop.
New York man, Buffalo guy by the name of Muzam al-Hassan founded a pro-Islamic television station, Bridges TV, five years ago to combat the negative public image of Muslims.
He's currently under arrest for beheading his wife.
That's the lead to the story.
They have a picture of the couple.
They have a picture of Hassan, Muzam al-Hassan, and his wife when her head was still on.
And the caption of the picture is the couple in happier times before Hassan removed his wife's head.
And he's in jail.
He went to the cops after he did this.
He told them why he did it and pointed out the headless body.
But he was just trying to combat the negative image of Muslims.
Now under arrest for beheading his wife.
I'm reading an honest caption of this picture.
The couple in happier times before Hassan removed his wife's head.
Audio, what are you groaning about in there?
Yeah, exactly right.
Dawn's just in there muttering under her breath, and I could tell that something was wrong.
Remove the head.
So like you just, you know, unscrew it, you know, set it aside.
Now you put it back later.
Yeah, he removed her head.
You have to wonder if for him, happier times are after he removed her head.
I doubt it because he's in jail.
Audio soundbite time.
Meet the press.
Their panel yesterday, totally in the tank for Barack Obama.
Here's Eugene Washington of the Washington Post.
Obama is a winner this week because he got through a huge, complicated, almost $800 billion spending rescue bill in record time.
I mean, this doesn't happen in Washington.
And, you know, sure, the beginning of an administration is a time when you really want to spend some political capital and those chips.
But wow.
Eugene, do you have a slightest idea what's in this?
Eugene, did you read it?
Obama won.
What about America?
Did America win here, Eugene?
Or does that not matter to you people in the media anymore?
It only matters that Obama won, right?
Screw the American people.
As long as Obama wins and the Republican Party loses, you're happy, right, Eugene?
And the rest of you guys in the media.
Did America win?
Did you read this?
Eugene, I'm going to throw this out today like I threw it out Friday.
Would somebody in the drive-by media, would somebody call here or call the office and speak to HR if you don't want to get through on the air?
I can understand that.
Would one of you take your own initiative?
I don't want to call you.
Take it your own initiative and tell me why it is so important that this bill pass because it's Obama's.
Would somebody tell me why it is so crucial that this thing passed last Friday and gets signed into law tomorrow?
And if it's so crucial, how come he didn't sign it Friday night while leaving to Chicago for a date with my bell Michelle on Saturday night?
He can sign these things anywhere.
It's such a catastrophe, such a crisis.
Hell, a country could have gone bankrupt Saturday, Sunday could happen today, and the bill wouldn't be signed to save us.
But, Eugene, do you even know what's in this?
Did you read it?
Are you just marveling that Obama got something done faster than anybody else ever has?
What if it's no good, Eugene?
What if it's bad for the country?
Or is that not possible since Obama's behind it?
I wish somebody in the drive-by would tell me what is it about Obama that this thing had to pass without anybody knowing what it is.
It was more important that it passed regardless of what anybody knew its contents were.
It had to pass.
It had to pass.
It could not fail.
Why?
What is the big deal about Obama that makes this manifest?
Here is Ronald Brownstein.
Where is he now?
Atlantic media.
He used to be at the L.A. Times before they started the cutbacks.
Ron Brownstein said this about the deal.
The magnitude of it.
This bill was a presidency in a box.
He achieved more of his aims in this single legislation than many presidents will achieve in an entire term.
I mean, there is more new net public investment here on things that Democrats consider essential for long-term growth, like education, scientific research, alternative energy, than Bill Clinton was able to achieve in two terms.
Oh, baby.
You know they're in the tank when they tell us that one boondoggle of a debacle piece of legislation was more than Clinton got done in two terms.
I asked the same question of Mr. Brownstein.
Have you read this?
Do you know what's in it?
Do you know how it destroys welfare reform?
Do you know how it adds to the welfare roles?
Do you know how it creates dependency?
Do you know that it nationalizes or sets up the bureaucracy to nationalize health care?
What is this rigmarole net public investment in things that Democrats consider essential for long-term growth?
Yes, of their party.
See, Mr. Brownstein, you're correct when you say Democrats consider essential for long-term growth, but you stop there.
Education, scientific research, alternative energy.
They are looking for long-term growth of their party and their power.
And finally, here is Roger Simon from the Politico.
I don't think it was such a bad thing for President Obama to reach out his hands to the Republicans and have those hands slapped away.
Here's a party shattered after two congressional elections in a row, whose only unifying principle is that they're against Obama.
In the end, that's not a winning hand for the Republicans.
President Obama is being seen to get things done.
Now, if those things succeed, and that's a big if, that's a huge victory for him and a huge defeat for the Republicans who turned their backs on him.
Oh, you're still lamenting and worrying that the Republicans aren't part of the deal, eh, Raj?
Big if that this succeeds, huh?
Big if.
Huge victory for Obama, huge defeat for Republicans.
By the way, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Simon's been fair to me in this program over the years in his commentary, but I'd like to return the favor.
We're not against Obama.
We're against what Obama stands for.
We support the president.
We just don't support any of these policies or very, very few of them.
They are horrible.
They are a disaster.
I can't speak for the Republican Party, but we conservatives stand for ideas and core principles, and we just don't abandon them because we are pressured by our opponents to get along for the sake of a new president.
Why?
What is so important, Mr. Simon, that this guy succeed?
Especially if we don't think it's good for the country.
We're not just going to park our principles at the door, check them at the door, and then walk in to the party.
It's a mistaken understanding for the drive-bys to think that our only unifying principle is that we're against Obama.
We were against Obama for reasons.
I got to go.
A quick timeout here, ladies and gentlemen.
The fastest three hours in the media resumes after this.
All kinds of stories today.
You know, the auto companies have to present their plans to Congress tomorrow, their reorganization plans.
And the government told them, you've got to get some union concessions here, too.
And they tried, but the UAW walked out over retired workers' health care plans.
The whole thing has broken down.
And guess what?
In the stimulus plan, there still is a version of buy American in there, even though Obama told the Brits he's going to take it out.
And the Canadians, there's still a strain of it in there.
You know, and we love General Motors here.
These auto companies may have made some mistakes over the years, but I actually think that most of their problem revolves around government regulation for years on mileage and this kind of thing.
And there are a lot of people, by the way, this Buy American thing that are really patriotically thinking that that's what we need to do as part of a genuine economic stimulus.
So I realize many of you are holding on to your cars and other assets longer than you thought.
But for those of you who are in the market for a new car, and you can still get a loan for one, don't listen to people say you can't.
The new Buick and Pontiac and GMC, they're offering great financing, even cashback deals on a lot of cars as part of the President's Day sale.
It's going on now through March the 2nd.
Buick, Pontiac, GMs, even the Cadillacs.
The Buick Enclave is a fab.
That's a crossover type SUV.
It's a fabulous car.
So is the Sierra XFE, 21 miles per gallon EPA estimated, and 315 horsepower.
They really have turned the corner in making some quality automobiles at General Motors, the Pontiac G8 GT, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds.
If you need to run away from somebody.
So the president's day sales now is going on through March the 2nd, Buick Pontiac GMC dealer or BPGDealers.com for details here.
But you can strike while the iron's hot.
Deals can be made, obviously.
And if you're in the market for a new car, you owe it to yourself to bop into a Buick GMC dealership and take a look.
You'd be surprised if you haven't for a while.
Charlie in Westchester, Pennsylvania, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Rush, it is an honor, 19-year dittos.
I love the night we saw you on the Rush to Excellence tour in Philadelphia.
I'm so glad to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
My point made me laugh when you were talking about the law with the car doors.
This pales in comparison to what really is out there with the porculus bill.
But to hear you talking about the bike riders, there are a lot of us out here that are in that evil 2% Al Gore talked about of wage earners on bicycles, custom-made.
I've been car doored and hit twice.
Two of the times, the police officer, I have broken bone stitches.
And I understand I've ridden down there where you live.
That we're all over the place.
I have a question here.
I have never been car doored.
It hurt.
Why are you so damn close to the car?
You're in a bike.
You've got all the lane room unless you're in a pack of bikers and you can't move.
Great question.
I like that.
We're going through a town and you're looking for them.
Your head's on a swivel.
You're listening to any noise in the car.
You hear them coming.
I can feel the car without even seeing it.
And there was a tinted window car, and like you said, get on the sidewalk.
Can't do that.
That's illegal.
Stay as far right as you can.
You have traffic panels.
I know.
It kind of tees me off.
The sidewalks are for pedestrians.
The streets are for pedestrians when they happen to wander in one.
And now the streets are for bike riders.
And we automobile drivers, what the hell do we do?
We have to give way.
We have to yield to everybody whose streets were not designed for.
Exactly.
It's not like you're up.
Your point's valid.
But now I'm defenseless.
I'm on an 18-pound bicycle, and there's a minivan, the door, she swings it open.
I didn't go over it.
I went into the car, and it destroyed a very expensive bike.
The guy that turned left in front of me, I'm sitting there with my leg open that required a tourniquet, and the police officer responded to me.
It's my fault.
Okay, so it's a problem, right?
Oh, it is.
It is.
Well, all right.
Everything's a problem.
If you're listening to the right people, there's not a thing in the world that's not a problem.
It's a problem.
It's just that some of these problems got to keep the government out of them.
I guess that's a lost cause.
CJ in East Texas, I got 45 seconds, but I wanted to get to you.
Hello.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe it.
Thank you for taking my call, and thank you for talking to me.
I'm all more for McDonald's, but hey, marijuana ought to be legal.
I'm telling you, Gabal Spot, and I've said that for years in my talk shows when I was on the radio, and my God, Almighty Rush, it's so awesome to talk to you, brother.
Thank you.
I love you, and I'm telling you, it ought to be legal.
It's not going to be any worse than the stimulus package.
It could help because it's going to be smoked no matter what they do.
God bless you, Mr. Limbaugh.
If I could work for you, all I want is a hut.
CJ in East Texas making the robust, passionate case for legalization of marijuana and also offering to work for me for nothing more than a hut.
It's enticing.
I'll have more details on this tomorrow, but there's a new limit on lead in children's products.
It means books are going to have to be burned and dirt bikes taken off showroom floors.
$100 million in inventory is going to have to be taken out of stores.
Government regulations about to ruin yet another business.
See you tomorrow, folks.
