Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Say, folks, how'd you like that speech by John Favreau last night?
And you did you see the speech by John Favreau, Mr. Snerdley?
Who is John Favreau?
Favreau wrote the speech.
He wrote the speech that Obama read off of the teleprompter.
Now, Favreau, he's he's not as nearly as teleganic.
He doesn't um he doesn't have Obama's smile, he doesn't have Obama's cool.
But uh he can sure write a speech.
He can write a speech that promises socialism while sounding conservative.
Do you realize what a tough challenge that was?
Even the guys at the politico admit today, and this is a positive thing in a way, and you have to you have to look for them wherever you can find them.
Even the guys at the political today who are in the tank for Obama, and they've been in a tank for Obama for months now, over a year.
Even they admit that he couched all that he wants to do in conservative rhetoric.
I'll give you an example.
And by the way, no more dropouts.
I'm gonna go for that.
You are not only dropping out of school, you are dropping out on your country.
And we're not now he doesn't mean that for a minute.
He wants as many dropouts as he can get.
Now you got folks, you have to understand here when you uh this this is why I am host, and and and you are not a great example here.
But I don't even I you know before the speech started last night, I said I don't even want to watch it.
Because I didn't it w it it was meaningless.
I knew what it was gonna be.
His speeches to me are tired.
We've established that he's a great orator, have we not?
We already have established, we've already agreed he does great speeches.
Okay, so what?
What's next?
You know what, even Tom Shales.
I have a piece here by Tom Shales who who despises me.
Not that that relevant or anything, but I just know that he does.
Tom Shales in the Washington Post today reviewing this thing, and he basically says, Look, just another Obama great speech.
Liberals on the train, HR driving in.
It's a good speech, but it wasn't as filling and satisfying as when he was new.
It's a great speech, but then so what?
I gotta sneeze.
I can't believe Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen.
I sneezed quickly.
I, by the way, I do not hold back sneezes.
If I'm gonna sneeze, I sneeze.
I get it out there.
It's a normal bodily function, it happens for a reason.
Uh largely to Well, nevertheless.
It offends people.
That's why I use the um the bleep button.
Here's here's Shales for all his oratorical skills, however, it seems very likely that Americans who watch the speech probably not terribly eager to see another one soon.
Tom Shales, who is full-fledged, as liberal as you can get.
Speeches are always going to make news, but the fact that he's a pretty great communicator, no longer a revelation.
So after perfecting his style and having given a speech last night that was full of practical content, there isn't much further he can go as a speechmaker.
Now the next two words uppermost to the national consciousness.
What next?
That's Tom Shales writing in the uh in the Washington Post today.
I did end up watching it.
By the way, greetings and welcome.
It is the Rush Limbaugh program, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the nation's most listened to radio talk show in America.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, is 800-282-2882, and the email address L Rushbo at EIB net.com.
It's kind of a tough day for a lot of people.
A lot of people mistakenly disappointed in Bobby Gendal.
A lot of people depressed over the winning style of Obama.
Did you watch speech last night, Dawn?
Depress you?
Did depress you?
Why did depress?
Let me guess.
It depressed you because he gave a great speech.
It seemed like the timing was perfect.
It seemed like it seemed like the applause, the setting, everybody going nuts in there, the visuals.
Oh my gosh, everybody's buying this.
Everybody's buying this, but you listened to what he said.
Right.
All right.
And all of Dawn's female friends called up.
They were so excited.
Oh, he was just wonderful, just wonderful.
That's got to deal with this.
That's that's that's the impact the speech has.
Uh and a great example of why you need me, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all feeling, all concerned, Maha Rushi.
When a president delivers a major address to the nation, Standard operating procedure would be, and we've done it in the past to come in here and play key elements, key points, analyze them, parse them.
But in this case, the speaker was Obama.
The words are not intended to be taken literally.
They're just words, words that you want to hear.
They're not for analysis.
They are for feelings.
And I learned, folks, we did this with Clinton, and it didn't matter.
And this guy's better than Clinton.
This guy lies better than Clinton.
He says the opposite of what he means better than Clinton.
Clinton got away with it.
There is no way we're going to sit here and change anybody's mind by running through this speech sentence by sentence.
Oh my gosh, what did he say here?
That's that's that's not the way this is going to happen.
He attacked bankers, and then he wasn't attacking bankers.
And then he back to attacking bankers.
I guarantee you, the most popular part of the speech was when he when he really jammed the CEOs and said the days are over.
Days over, you're going to escape on a private jet.
Yeah, I guess America probably stood up on that.
That's nothing new.
America's always hated the rich.
America's always hated barons.
America has always had class envy.
Uh he declared he declared war on earmarks in a bill that's got 9,000 of them.
That that's well, folks.
I watched it and I vowed.
I'm not gonna get mad.
It's a waste of time to get mad, especially when what happens is what you expect to happen.
It was exactly what I expected.
The reaction from the drive-by-exactly what I expected, even on Fox.
They're all the suck-up media now.
They're all in the suck-up vein here because of the historical nature of the presidency.
I don't like big government, while he's making it bigger than it's ever been.
It's exactly snurdly.
There was another line in there.
I this this one, this one I just I I had to.
I just I he's get this one.
Regulations were gutted for the sake of a quick profit at the expense of a healthy market.
People bought homes they knew they couldn't afford from banks and lenders who push those bad loans anyway.
And all the while, critical debates and difficult decisions were put off for some other time on some other day.
And he said this without bursting out laughing, too.
He's got to know when he says this, that it's just BS.
The only difference in his words in a bag of manure last night was the bag, and he knows it.
Oh, these poor victims.
Somebody rounded them up in a bus and took them to the local bank.
Get in there and borrow money for a house that you can't afford.
And the evil banker, get in here.
They put leashes on these poor people to bust up to the bank.
Get in here.
You are going, you are going to borrow this money.
Don't read it.
Just sign it and get out there and enjoy the American dream.
And nobody came along to try to stop this other than George Bush, ten or eleven times.
Uh what nobody.
It was just hilarious.
And let's let's move on to something else hilarious.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is great.
This CBS Early Show today.
Uh co-host Maggie Rodriguez interviewing Joe Biden.
Nobody gonna mess with Joe.
That's it.
Nobody, nobody's gonna mess with Joe.
Mr. Vice President, we uh we watched a speech last night with a cross section of Americans, and we asked them if they had any questions for you.
And I'd like to share one of them with you from a viewer who had a layoff the most ever staffed last year, Hendrickson is his name.
And he says, What I'm looking for are real clear details about how the stimulus really gonna help small business.
Now get this.
I would recommend that woman call my office directly, and I will be able to guide her as to how what pieces of this package would be directly helpful to her.
For example, stop this and Q and Q stop this epicue it back up to the top.
Let me let me I hate dead air when I'm expecting.
Let me get the here's the question.
We got a woman on CBS this morning who asks Biden.
Look at I'm looking for clear details about how the stimulus package is really gonna help small business.
I would recommend that woman call my office directly, and I will be able to guide her as to how what pieces of this package would be directly helpful to her.
For example, it may very well be that she's in a circumstance where she is not able, where customers aren't able to get to her.
There's no transit capability, the bridge going across the creek to get to her b uh business needs repair.
It may very well be that she's in a position where she is unable to access the her energy costs are so high by providing smart meters by being able to bring down the cost of her uh of her uh workforce.
So expect a call from Lisa Hammond.
Okay, very good.
All right, did you hear that?
Can I can I translate this for you?
This woman, smart meter yes, this woman has a chance to ask Biden, all right.
What are you gonna do what's in this stimulus uh in the stimulus package for small business?
Well, if you or your customers can't get their small business, we're gonna build a bridge.
And if you uh if if if you're if your business costs are too high, we'll we'll put a smart meter in there.
How do you not laugh your butt off at this?
And then there was this, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh Maggie Rodriguez had this exchange with Vice President Biden.
By the way, do you know the website?
You know, I'm embarrassed.
You know the website number?
I su uh you know I should have it in front of me, and I don't.
I'm I'm I'm actually embarrassed.
I'm gonna call your office director too and get it later.
It is recovery.gov.
Recovery.gov.
Is that up and running already?
What is the website?
What's the website number?
What is the website number?
He didn't even now I guarantee if George Bush or any Republican had said what's the website number, there would have been no attempt to bail him out here.
And if somebody shouting in Biden's ear, it's recovery.org, recovery.
Have you gone to recovery.org, have you looked at it?
It's nothing more than an Obama propaganda campaign site.
Under the guise of uh helping people uh keep the government informed about whether or not the stimulus money is being spent in the right way where they live.
So let's go back.
Joe Biden's greatest hit.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
That guy was in a wheelchair.
You know, when Bobby Gendal was making his response speech last night, Joe Biden was probably wondering who he got to sit in for him during his shift at 7-Eleven.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Hello and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
A great delight and thrill to be with you each and every day behind the golden EIB microphone.
Uh let's see, couple comments I want to move on.
We've got some audio sound bites here, but uh, I just I I want to get away from this.
It doesn't mean anything.
These were just words last night.
And he um the the the most interesting thing about this, they did indeed try to make him sound Reagan-esque now and then.
He was all over the ballpark.
Don't misunderstand.
I mean, he sounded uh, you know, totally totally socialist as as well, the appropriate times.
But the fact is he knows he's got to sound conservative to sell this.
Most people in this country's instincts, the way they live, are conservative.
They just don't vote that way often enough uh for a host of reasons, but they live their lives.
The majority of people do.
Don't ever forget this.
Don't give up hope on that.
Uh it is the truth, and it it that fact alone provides us the opportunity for the rebound that will happen in the years ahead.
Obama said that everybody's gonna see a pay uh uh uh uh tax cut in her paycheck coming up in April.
Starting April 1st.
Maybe so, but you're gonna have to have a microscope to see it.
He kept talking about the deficit that he inherited.
Maybe so.
But Obama and every Democrat in that body last night voted for every spending bill that came out in the 19th, well, uh the the 2000s, the Bush administration, they were Unhappy that it there wasn't more spending.
What I thought was funny, there was a funny moment last night.
Obama says we need to understand how this economic mess happened, and right then the camera turned on Chris Dodd.
Chris Dodd was pictured just after.
No, I don't expect the Nimrods of our society watching this last night to get that, but I I thought it uh I thought it was funny.
And he said wealth was transferred to the wealthy.
That same old line.
Funny, I thought wealth was earned, except if you're a Kennedy.
Or a Madoff.
Or this Democrat in Texas, whatever his name is Stanford.
I thought wealth was earned.
How can we take charge of our future by borrowing and printing money?
Obama says we can, so I guess we can.
Then there was, I don't know.
How many of you noticed this?
And so tonight I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training.
Brian, you signing up to go back to school.
Don, you said, well, he every American.
I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education.
This can be community college, a four-year scruble, vocational training, and apprenticeship, but whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma.
And dropping out of high school is no longer an option.
Really?
Dropping out of high school is no longer an option.
We'll find out just kind of what kind of loyalty the dropouts of America have to Barack Obama.
Because I'll guarantee you that during the presidential campaign, the dropouts of America thought they were going to hand have handed to them a plate load of goodies, like Henrietta Hughes over in Ford Myers.
The last thing they thought they were getting when they voted Obama was a requirement to go back to school and learn to read.
We might have the beginnings of a little protest here.
So Obama is going to require everybody to work.
This is, I mean, I I just I find some of these things just hilarious.
You know, folks.
What would make this country a better place is this.
Anyone in the public sector who has not worked in the private sector must work in the private sector at least one year, or they may not keep their job.
Everybody working for government, some places got to leave for at least a year and work in the private sector and see what it's like.
Further, no one can work in the public sector unless they've worked in the private sector at least four years, being better than spending four years in college.
Everybody in the public sector must take their lunch hour and listen to the Rush Limbaugh program forever.
Be the best free education they ever received, and it'll be the best stimulus this country could ever get.
Can you imagine if every public sector employee were required to take their lunch hour from whenever this program is on and listen to it exclusively during their lunch hour?
Oh, come on, Rush, don't be so what do you think you heard last night?
You heard similar kinds of commands.
You heard an authoritarian last night tell you what you have to do.
Now, a couple words here about Bobby Gindle.
There's a great disconnect, ladies and gentlemen, between the Beltway pundits in the drive-by medium, and I sadly have to include the the Fox News all-stars in this.
We we live in a world, obviously, where style counts for more than anything else, and that's not good.
Obama's a great stylist, a great orator, great speech last night, but if you listen to it, it was meaningless.
It had all kinds of lies.
Those of us who've studied Obama know exactly what he's gonna do.
He's gonna grow the government as big as he can.
He's going to expand the government sector, he's going to do it uh at the expense of the high end of the private sector, he's gonna do this.
And he's got, he's got the vote.
By the way, he's if if his if his speech created um a bump in his approval numbers, he's got the votes to do anything he wants.
He can do camp and trade, and he can do uh health care reform in 30 days.
He can do whatever he wants as soon as he wants, depending on the bump and the bounce he gets out of this speech.
And I fully expect that the drive-by's will run polls showing that his approval numbers are way, way up.
And the market is way, way down.
Again, the people with skin in the game heard the speech last night, and they don't like it.
The market is uh it's vacillating around 150, minus 150 today.
It's been around 180, 122.
It started out at minus 14, now it's at minus uh 151.
So the people with skin in the game, the people who invest their money to try to grow the economy are not digging what they heard last night.
That continues to be the case with real people who make the country work.
So we've we've got a great stylist, a great orator, who makes a great symbolic speech, wows everybody with his style, everybody falling all over themselves last night to praise Barack Obama in new ways that they think he hasn't been praised, elegant.
He was uh I forget some of the things, but I'm sure you were frustrated listening to it.
Then Bobby Gendal came on.
And everybody trashed Bobby Gendal.
That was the worst response I've ever seen.
Why, that was horrible.
Well, this is embarrassing.
Why is this get get him off of this is rotten?
We blew his chance and so forth.
Very mistaken to have that impression of Bobby Gendal.
I'll tell you why when we come back.
Comforting words from the president of the United States.
If you lose your gig, that's the plan.
Learn to love it, and get to know your dog even better.
And maybe visit a museum.
All right, we are back.
Uh, one more thing about Obama than we're finished.
But we I I I, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to do the female summit today, by the way.
We will do the female summit in the third hour of the program today.
And the reason we're going to do the female summit, public policy polling in North Carolina published a national poll on your beloved host, El Rushbo.
And they found I've got 46% approval, 43% disapproval, but I got a huge gender gap.
My gender gap between men and women is 31%.
31% the differential between male approval and female approval.
And so yesterday I said, what can I do about this?
What could be done?
What is the explanation for this?
Because I'm just a harmless lovable little fuzzball.
I am the sweetest, the nicest, the most generous, compassionate, confident, cocky, I know what I want, and I know what it's right, and I'm going to say what I think kind of guy you'll ever run into.
And I'm saying to myself, what could be the explanation for the gender gapness?
Why should I try to understand it myself?
Why not do a female summit with breakout groups and the whole thing like Obama does on social security and uh electricity and procurement.
So we're going to do a female summit.
It may take more than one day, depending on the answers we get.
I've got a lot so far in email, by the way.
But what'll happen?
We're going to take calls only from women in the last hour of the program today.
And very rarely do I define requirements for callers.
But today I am going to do so.
I, for this for the purposes of the female summit, it would make no sense for women to call and say how much they love me.
We already know that there are many who do, and we know why.
We need to hear from women who don't particularly love me, who don't particularly like me, or from women who do like me, who know women who hate me who can tell me why.
But more than that, we need calls from women who will have suggestions for what they think I should do to close the gender gap.
And I must add, some of you may think I should not Worry about.
You can say that too.
The only thing off limits is fawning love, adulation, devotion.
We'll save that for open line Friday.
But today, the female summit must offer constructive criticism and hopefully some solutions.
And then I'll take it, you know, on a call by call, case by case basis.
So what'll happen right before the final hour, Snerdley will screen all the calls.
Or broom them.
And uh when the when the segment uh the break at the top of the hour for the third hour begins is when we will start taking calls only from women.
Now, we've done this before.
We are highly trained broadcast specialists, and we know what's going to happen.
A bunch of men are going to call trying to disguise their voices.
We'll catch you.
A bunch of men are going to put their girlfriends or wives on the phone to fool us so that when it's their turn to get on the air, the guy will actually be there.
I want to warn you.
Anyone caught trying to perpetrate a tr perpetrate a trick on this program and your host will be met with in a most direct and what you might consider unkind way.
The first moment that I sniff deceit, you're gone.
I will break my rule of never hanging up on anyone and do it today.
We are serious about the female summit.
It's a crisis point in our country today, and we haven't got time to fool around with jokers, practical jokers.
I'm the king of those.
I spot them before anybody knows they're coming.
So get ready, gear up for the final hour today being the first ever Rush Limbaugh female summit on the EIB network.
Now, this is not nitpicking because Obama thinks that they're 57 states.
He said that during the campaign.
But I need to ask you people the question who invented the automobile.
Oh, one more thing about the female summit.
Sorry, no transsexuals.
We're not going to have anybody who's had an aadicty, and we're not going to have anybody who's had a chabatic off of me.
We are going to have women from birth.
Nothing against transgenders, nothing against transsexuals.
But that doesn't apply because they weren't polled.
Only women were polled in this.
So if you had an adenicomy, you can't call here and say you used to be a woman.
Ain't gonna work.
And if you had a chabadic off of me, uh, and you used to be a guy, you cannot call here and say you're now a woman.
You can try it, but it isn't gonna work.
Now we ask that all of you be honest.
We ask that all of you be sincere in our effort here to close the El Rush or Rushboat gender gap uh based on the polling from public policy polling.
I I just got a note uh can employees participate in the all-female summit.
Can employees particip?
Well, I assume so, but the employees must go through the regular channels.
There will be no preferential treatment shown to callers.
Nobody will be called by us.
There will not be any special super secret phone numbers.
And you know what will also happen here, Mr. Sternley?
Not gonna tell you who's asking that.
Not gonna tell it doesn't matter who it is.
I'm just gonna say this.
What might happen, and it's I think very likely, is that you will fail, not through any fault of your own.
You will fail, and there will be a couple of uh deceitful phony callers, seminar callers, who will try to convince you of one thing get in the air and do something quite different.
This will result uh in in uh something that we have done before uh in in uh on this program, and and that is uh what do we call them?
Not caller seminars, but we um uh what where callers were trained how to be better callers and what made them better.
I know that, but I just kept well wasn't called caller seminars, but it was called caller something or something or other.
But it we that might automatically uh be brought back to life as a result of the caller clinics, they were caller clinics.
Uh in the early days of this program, folks, the callers were were, I mean, they were nice, they were doing everything they could, they were trying, but they were bad.
And uh necessitated doing caller clinics, because I had to explain, you know, the the the the uh the best calls are those that make the host look good.
But that does not mean you make the host look good by calling up and going an endless praise.
That's not what I meant.
So we did caller clinics, we could end up probably having one of those as part of the female summit.
Okay, Obama thinks fifty-seven states, he said that during the campaign.
He also said last night that uh the American um America invented the automobile.
Now, a quick pop quiz, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh who actually invented the uh the automobile?
It was I'm sorry that the Americans didn't do it.
The internal combustion engine and the first automobile was invented by a German by the name of Carl Benz, which led to Mercedes Benz, which then begot Wilhelm Meibach, which has led to the revival of the MyBach automobile.
Henry Ford invented the assembly line for manufacturing automobiles, and he did invent the model T, but the automobile was invented by Carl Benz.
There Obama didn't know this.
It doesn't matter.
Uh he didn't get much else right either.
But I just know we're sticklers here for uh perfection and accuracy, and I wanted to make that point.
I have not forgotten Jendle, but I did have to announce the um the female summit.
Quick timeout, we'll come back.
I'm gonna tell you what I really think about the gendal speech and the reaction to it, and then we'll get to your phone calls.
Let me just say it right out.
I love Bobby Gendal, and that did not change after last night.
I respect Bobby Gendal.
I have great enthusiasm for Bobby Gendal, the governor of Louisiana, and nothing that happened last night changed my mind.
Now these answers to State of the Union speeches have been silly since I first became aware of them after Nixon was giving speeches in the early 70s, and the Democrats had to come out.
I got almost got fired from a music station.
I was doing a morning show in Pittsburgh, and I watched the maybe they had happened before this, but I think it had to be 1972, and I'm watching a response to a Nixon speech, and I'm on the air the next day.
What the hell was that?
It's not in the Constitution.
Where's this response stuff?
And it's always been silly.
I remember Jim Wright, Fort Worthless Jim, the Speaker of the House from Houston, or somewhere in Texas, responding to Reagan.
We we only want to help president.
We we only want to work with the president.
You shifty-eyed lying saying you never intended to want you all you wanted to do was destroy.
But I never heard the drive-by media talk about what a rotten, horrible, stupid speaker Jim Wright was.
In fact, they built him up.
And then I remember Dan Roth Rosland Counseling, he answered a presidential speech at one time.
And John McLaughlin, the McLaughlin group, went nuts.
Do we have a new Democrat?
Spokesman Rusty.
So the Democrats go out there and give their responses, be it to Bush, 41 or 43, and nobody dumped on them because they understand it's a lose-lose.
Here you've got the big pomp and ceremony with live feedback, stand-up, standing ovation, plause after applause after applause in the House chamber, and then you go to some dinky little ante-room or even a governor's mansion in front of a staircase where there's no laugh track, there's no applause trackers, none of this.
But I never heard, I have never heard the media, both sides, conservative liberal media dump on a responder in all my life until last night.
And they dumped on Gendal in ways that are damaging and make no sense.
I hear from all of you.
In email or on phone calls, you're sick of style.
You're sick of phony baloney plastic men had a good time rocking rollers, who lie through their teeth and tell people whatever they want to hear, but they do it so well.
You're sick of it because it's destroying the country.
Well, we got that big time last night.
We got lie after lie after lie spoken as well as it's ever been said.
We had nothing said last night unless you knew who this guy is and are willing to admit it, then you can walk out of that room last night scared to death for your country.
But if you don't know who the guy is, you walk out of there feeling great because man, he sounds smart and it looked good and wow, everybody loved him, and oh, it's it's sort of like the faith people have in God.
You can't prove it, but you know it.
You can't tell anybody why, but you know it.
Same thing here.
People who don't believe in God believe in Obama.
Agnostics, atheists, all they because believe me, a plane load of atheists on a jet on the way to Hawaii, and three of the four engines go out, the atheists start praying to who?
God, not the ocean to save them.
So everybody believes in God at some point.
But not until they face their mortality.
Everybody does.
They have some God.
Very few people think they're it.
Obama is one.
I think when Obama prays, it's to himself.
Those of us who know him know this.
Those of us who don't care about that, who just want symbolism, we just want the feel so good.
So, where are we?
Well, we as conservatives are in the wilderness.
And many of you are hopeless.
So we have a guy, Bobby Gindle, 37 years old, first time on the national stage.
Shows up last night to make a response to the Messiah.
All he did was articulate what we believe.
All he did was articulate opposition to what Obama's doing with the obligatory when he's right, we'll work with him.
Just like we worked with Clinton on NAFTA when we thought he was just like we worked with Clinton on welfare reform after we brought him in.
These things happen.
It doesn't mean we lose our distrust.
All Bobby Gendal did was describe the opposite of what Obama selling.
All Bobby Gendle did was tell us what conservatism is.
He used his own life story to do it.
He talked about the American people making the country work.
He had it all.
Now he may not have done it in the same stylistic way as Obama.
I can understand the Democrats trashing the man just as they trash Sarah Palin.
They are mean-spirited, heartless, horrible winners.
But the people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Gendal on the basis of style.
Because if you think people on our side, I'm talking to you, those of you who think Gendal was horrible, you think.
In fact, I don't want to hear from you ever again.
If you think that Bobby Gendal was bad and what he said was wrong or not said well, because folks, style is not going to take our country back.
Solid conservatism, articulate in a way that's inspiring and understanding is what's going to take the country back.
Bobby Gendal's 37 years old.
I've spoken to him numerous times.
He's brilliant.
He's the real deal.
I'm not coming here to defend him, by the way.
I'm just, we look, we're gonna have to figure out what we want.
Do we want to have somebody in our party who can sound as smart as Obama regardless of what he says and convince people to vote for us?
Or do we believe in a set of principles that defined this country's founding and will return it to greatness again?
And if we do, we cannot shun polish politicians who share those beliefs simply because we don't like the way they say it.
We're back, Rush Limbaugh closing out the first hour.
Female Summit coming up, third hour.
Obama might believe that the subtitle of his speech last night was Suck It Up, folks.
They're wrong.
The actual title of speech, suckle up.
