Time Text
Oh, there it is.
I'm just looking for one other thing here, folks.
hang on and then we'll, oh, look at this.
Hostile men more likely to pack on the pounds.
I better pull that out because I know how to translate that one.
Let's see.
Oh, this is another McCain and Dorgan to seek Senate Committee on Financial Crisis.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's about six months late.
Let's see.
Where is it?
Well, I thought I had it in a stack.
Yes.
Yes.
No, it's getting close.
I don't need it because I actually know this off the top of my head.
We have the most.
By the way, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
In case you don't know by now, telephone number 800-282-2882.
If you'd like to be on the program, the email address El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
So Barack Obama, a man who promised the most transparent government transition administration in East Wai, sends a secret letter to the Russians.
A secret letter to the Russians.
It went out weeks ago.
He sent it to Medvedev and Putin.
And the letter essentially said, look, guys, I'll be glad to take our missile shield out of Poland that's going to protect our European allies from you.
I haven't consulted our European allies because I really don't care what they think, even though this administration is going to restore confidence and respect for the country.
I don't care what European allies.
I will take the missile defense that we're going to put in Poland out.
I won't put it there if you'll help us out keeping Iran from going nuke.
Secret letter.
Well, Medvedev kind of blew the whole thing and went public.
Say, yeah, we got this letter from President Obama.
We'll be glad to talk about the missile shield, but we're not going to haggle over this Iranian stuff.
We'll be glad if he wants to pull the missile shield out, that's fine, but we're not talking to him about Iran.
Thud.
Duh.
Then not only are secret letters being sent to the Russians, secret phone calls occur every morning from Rahm Emmanuel, the chief of staff, to George Stephanopoulos at ABC News and Paul McGella and James Carvel over at CNN to get the daily talking points out.
Now, people have asked me, why is there no representative from NBC?
Have you watched lately?
They don't need a phone call to get the talking points.
These guys are such, I mean, these are capital B butt boys.
They don't need Emmanuel to tell them how to spread White House propaganda.
It just happens naturally to them.
By the way, there was a meeting in the Oval Orifice mere moments ago between President Obama and the Prime Minister of Britain.
That would be Gordon Brown.
Now, normally, and, you know, Brown was all excited about this.
Gordon Brown and the wife flew over here because normally, I mean, they're our number one ally.
Normally what happens in things like this is they meet in the Oval Office and they discuss plans.
In this case, Gordon Brown's got an idea.
He wants a global new deal.
I'm sure Obama does too, but he doesn't want to have Brown anything to do with it.
So they have the meeting, and then normally after this, the first time there's a joint press conference in the East Room with British and American and reporters from around the world.
Obama told Brown, screw that.
We'll take some questions in the Oval Office, or we're not doing this joint press thing.
Also, the first couples are not meeting together.
Normally they have lunch, but Michelle Obama's entertaining Gordon Brown's wife in the crayon room of the White House, wherever they're doing it.
But they're not meeting, and there's no social event planned at all.
And the UK Daily Mail headline, Downing Street left embarrassed after President Obama scales down first meeting with Brown.
Downing Street left scrambling to avoid a diplomatic embarrassment today after the White House ruled out a formal press conference to mark Gordon Brown's first formal meeting with President Obama.
Officials denied that the Prime Minister was being snubbed after it emerged that the new president would not make himself available for the traditional joint appearance before the White House media.
They did bring cameras in the Oval Office for a while, which they always do.
Mr. Brown's aids are trying to make the best of what is a distinctly low-key visit compared to the family hospitality lavished on Tony Blair by George W. Bush when they met for the first time.
Although Sarah Brown flew to Washington today to join her husband, there were no plans for the two couples to meet, and she will instead have a brief one-on-one meeting with Michelle Obama.
After overnight protests from British diplomats, the White House agreed to allow journalists into the Oval Orifice for a brief round of questions with Obama and Brown after their talks.
This is the second diss of our number one ally.
The first diss was the statue of Winston Churchill.
Statue of Winston Churchill is in the Oval Office.
It was given to President Bush after 9-11.
Obama sent it back.
He didn't want it in there.
He wanted nothing to do with it.
And so they took it back over to the British Embassy.
And now this.
And of course, Gordon Brown made public what he was going to be talking to Obama about, this global new deal.
And I will guarantee you, well, I can't guarantee you, but I will give you my thoughts.
My thoughts are that Brown starts talking about a meeting he's going to have with Obama, and he starts talking about this agenda of a worldwide New Deal.
And Obama probably thinks he's being trumped.
Obama probably thinks that he's being stepped on by Gordon Brown.
So it's time for the snub to occur because something is massively important as a global new deal.
That is something I think Obama would like to announce them themselves.
However, my friends, while they're not happy in the UK, they are ecstatic in Gaza as the Obama administration has announced $900 million in aid.
Is it million or billion?
You know, I get these $900 million in aid to Hamas.
No rush.
It's not Hamas.
It's people in Gaza that have been attacked unfairly by you think $900 million U.S. dollars.
By the way, where are we getting this?
$900 million for Gaza?
You know, what about Vallejo, California?
They could use it.
$900 million for Gaza.
You think the terrorists that run that little strip of land are just going to be content with it showing up as rice cookers and so forth in the homes of citizens of Gaza?
And Mrs. Clinton comes out today and says we happen to believe that moving forward towards a two-state solution is in Israel's best interests.
No, it's not.
Wake up, folks.
Wake up.
Let me give you these little statistics.
October 8th, 2007, a year and a half ago, the Dow hit 14,000.
This October of 2007, one year after the Democrats elected to Congress, the Dow hit 14,000.
Unemployment rate was the lowest in 25 years.
Past due mortgages were less than 1%.
Foreclosures were less than 0.01%.
Interest rates were at near all-time lows.
The percentage of Americans employed the highest since World War II.
Gasoline was under $2 a gallon.
What happened?
Well, in November of 2007, Democrats won control of Congress.
That's how far we have come.
That's how far we have come.
And we're being taken even lower by the Obama administration.
Now, here's this, this is a Reuters story.
Hostile men may pack on more pounds over time than their less hostile, more laid-back peers, according to new research.
The more hostile a man's personality, the more his body mass index increased over the following two decades, said Dr. Herman Nobi of Hospital Paul Brusset in France.
Look, I don't need to read all this.
I'm just going to translate it for you.
Hostile men more likely to pack on pans.
That means high body mass index.
That equals conservative.
Angry, white, fat, belligerent, hostile conservative.
More laid-back peers, less hostile equals Alan Alda and Michael Kinley and the real men of liberalism.
That's, well, I mean, angry white men.
No, it could include all people, not just white people.
But, I mean, I know how to translate this.
I know how to translate this up.
Quick.
Time out.
We'll come back.
Obama soundbites here on the stock market, where he admits, I don't care.
We're not going to do policy based on fluctuations in the market.
I mean, that would make things even worse.
Wait till you hear right after this.
Don't go away.
I said yesterday there was a CNN commentator out there who said over the weekend that he knows somebody that said Obama's speeches, Obama's speeches, I mean, they're like sex are better than sex.
I can see how that's true.
When Obama speaks, the American people get screwed.
This morning in the Oval Office, Obama talking with Gordon Brown.
Here is a portion of the conversation.
What I'm looking at is not the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market, but the long-term ability for the United States and the entire world economy to regain its foot.
And, you know, the stock market is sort of like a tracking pole in politics.
It bobs up and down day to day.
And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy.
Did you hear that?
He said it's a tracking poll.
It's like a tracking poll in politics.
It's going to bubble up and down.
You can't pay attention to tracking polls.
If it's a tracking poll, if that's what it is, you're in the tank, Mr. President.
He's not concerned.
$3 trillion of wealth has vanished since he was elected.
The Dow Jones Industrial average down around 3,000 points.
He doesn't care.
He just said, we're not looking at day-to-day gyrations.
How about month-to-month declines?
There are no day-to-day gyrations to speak of here.
There is just a steady decline.
Besides, he's got to worry about the long-term ability of the U.S. and the world economy to regain its footing.
The stock market happens to be where people who have skin in the game are located.
And they're getting out.
Here's another exchange Obama had with Gordon Brown.
What you're now seeing is profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it.
I think that consumer confidence, as they see the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act taking root, businesses are starting to see opportunities for investment and potential hiring.
It's not going to happen overnight.
No.
My main message to the American people is to just recognize that we dug a very deep hole for ourselves.
There were a lot of bad decisions that were made.
We are cleaning up that mess.
It's going to be sort of full of fits and starts in terms of getting the mess cleaned up, but it's going to get cleaned up.
This is Obama distancing himself from his own economy, distancing himself from the failure of his own recovery plan and dumping it on the Bush administration.
We inherited everything.
He's going to get away with this for a while with a lot of Americans.
Let's go back.
Let's listen to David Axelrod, February 12, 2009, in an interview with The Washington Post.
Well, it can drive a White House.
It may not drive ours.
We try and keep our heads about us and pursue what we think is the appropriate strategy, and that's what we're going to do here.
He was asked about the stock market and the daily drop.
And it can drive a White House.
It may not drive ours.
We don't care what's going on in the stock market.
That's not our plan here.
Now, back to audio soundbite number five, Mr. Broadcast Engineer.
This is the Today Show Today, the co-host Meredith Vieira talking with Chuck Todd, who, by the way, yesterday said that I am part of a dying medium.
Radio.
Radio is a dying medium, and it's, you know, the internet and television.
That's where the action is.
Hey, Chuck, we ought to do a little poll.
Who is Chuck Todd?
He is in the meeting.
He's in television.
He's in a very active, big-time, really popular television medium.
Well, you should do a little poll.
Who is Chuck Todd?
And then give some, you know, Obama butt-boy, NBC correspondent, internet reporter, fired journalist from the Rocky Mountain News.
And we have four different possibilities here.
Wants to work at Chicago Tribune, but they're not hiring.
Wants to work at L.A. Times, but they're not hiring.
Wants to work at New York Times, but a share price there is less than the cost of the Sunday edition of the paper.
So Chuck Todd yesterday said that I am in a dying medium.
After all of this, after all of this that they're doing, I am in a dying medium.
So who is Chuck Todd?
Do you know who Chuck Todd is, Dawn?
She doesn't know who he is, and she looks at him every day with the sound down because all the TV monitors are on in front of him.
She doesn't know who he is.
No, of course no need for the fairness doctrine.
Radio is a dying medium.
In fact, you know, fairness doctrine.
I want to get in on the Rahm Emmanuel secret phone call talking points phone call.
He's only calling libs.
White House is only calling fellow libs and Democrats, Stephanopoulos, DeForehead, and Serpent Head.
You know, I like to get in on those phone calls.
It's fairness.
It's only fair that I find out what they're aiming at me.
Anyway, here is Chuck Todd on the Today Show today to question Chuck.
What does this back and forth say right now about who is the face of the Republican Party?
Democrats in the White House are ecstatic that Michael Steele apologized.
They've been trying to make the case all weekend that Rush Limbaugh was the face and the leader and the intellectual force of the Republican Party.
Here, Michael Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican Party, criticized him, looked like it was going to be a rift, and when less than one news cycle, he apologizes, making that point.
But Democrats ought to be careful.
The last time they thought and they were giddy about the idea of a talk radio guy being the face or the inspiration of the party, he helped lead them out of the wilderness and get them back into power.
Now, that's today.
They should be leery of me because last time they came at me like this, I led the Republican Party out of the wilderness, back to power.
Yesterday, I'm part of a dying medium.
And the White House better be careful.
You know, a lot of people are saying that.
Where is the evidence that taking on Limbaugh works?
Clinton tried it three times.
He tried it at the White House Correspondence Dinner.
He tried it aboard Air Force One.
And they tried blaming me for the Oklahoma City bombing.
Carville, I think, told him, shut up.
It was during the 96 campaign against Bob Dole.
And Clinton went out there, said something about me and Carville.
And it went on television.
It ain't Limbaugh.
None of them.
Doe!
Say the name Doe!
Doe!
Doe!
So the chucker here has a he has a point.
All right, let's see.
Quick phone call here before we have to go to the break.
This is Jonathan, Greenville, North Carolina.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Yeah.
I have been a longtime listener, and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the, or shining basically the light of truth on what's going on in Washington and making it understandable to so many people across this country.
I'm just so grateful for that, and I hope you keep up the good work, sir.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, Jonathan.
More than you know.
Arnie in a truck, which means he's a target of the Obama administration in Vermont.
Nice to have you, sir.
Hello.
You know, the great socialist state of Vermont.
Rush, I can't believe the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-seeing Maharushdi does not see that he is being played like a fiddle from the far left.
They don't want the conversation being on the good conservative policies coming out of the conservatives in Washington.
What they're doing is they're starting a fire over in the corner, and they're saying, look, look, CC, look, everybody look over here.
And that's what they're doing.
They're deliberately picking a fight with you so the people of the country don't focus on what they're supposed to be focusing on.
And I think, Rush, they're playing you like a fiddle.
What are they supposed to be focusing on?
They're supposed to be focusing on some of conservative ideas, low taxes, less government, less regulation out of Washington, come out of the conservative corner.
Arnie.
You know, but they don't want that conversation.
Arnie, I love you.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks.
I appreciate it.
Well, we love you too, Rush.
But it's calls like this that make me think, what am I doing?
I'm wasting my time.
No.
Yes.
I just finished a record ratings speech to CPAC laying out the conservative agenda, Arnie.
It's being talked about all over.
It's been replayed on C and it's been replayed on Fox.
We're talking about it here.
I am illustrating the fraud that is the Obama agenda.
I am representing conservatism.
You don't even hear it.
You think I'm being played like a fiddle?
When I get a call like this, I say, what's the point?
Hanky, go play golf.
Some of the finest bumper music known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
Rushlin bought talent on loan from God.
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist, executing assigned host duties flawlessly.
Zero mistakes.
I got a couple emails today that echoed the sentiments in the previous call.
Let me deal with this for just a second here, folks.
The notion that I'm being played like a fiddle, the notion that I am being distracted from the Obama agenda, the fact that I am not putting forth the conservative principles.
These have to be seminar emails and seminar phone calls.
As otherwise, I mean, what's the point here?
I mean, conservative ideas coming out of Congress.
Could somebody tell me where they are?
This notion that Democrats are picking a fight with me and playing me, taking the focus off the conservative ideas in the Republican Party.
Folks, that's the point.
There aren't many conservative ideas in the Republican Party right now.
They are shell-shocked at the Republican Party.
They live in the world of polls.
They live in the world of focus groups.
They live with the constant media barrage that Obama's great and that they are just gnats best dispatched with.
The threat to the Republican Party isn't just moderates.
They do present a challenge.
The Democrats, notice the Democrats are not going after any moderate Republicans here.
The Democrats are going after me because my ideas and my exposing of Obama what he is remains the only threat to Obama completely dominating.
If I'm being distracted and if I am fiddling while Rome burns, would somebody tell me where anybody else is standing up and focusing the truth on the Obama agenda?
If I didn't matter to them, they'd leave me alone.
And they wouldn't dignify responding to anything I do.
It's just the exact opposite.
You know, Snerdley came in.
I was not going to tell you people this, and I'm still a little nervous.
You think I should.
You know I don't like talking about myself.
And I don't, I get, I'm very self-conscious telling you.
Snerdley yesterday came in about 10 minutes before the program and he was in tears.
And I said, what's wrong?
And he said, I just, I don't know how you do it and you don't deserve it.
So what are you talking about?
He said, I can't stand it anymore.
All the lies and all these hits.
You are the only one there.
The White House is out trying to destroy you.
The Democrat Party is out trying to destroy you.
They're lying about what you're saying.
They're making things up about you.
It just is not for why.
How do you put up?
You don't need this.
Why are you still doing this?
And he said to me, look at everybody asked me, why are you putting up with this?
You've got yours.
You could retire, live like a king behind some gate.
You could go play golf and you could read about the encroaching socialism in the newspaper every day and call a TV show now and then say, I tried to warn you, but I haven't got time to talk.
I got a tea time.
And you could get in your car and drive and go wherever you wanted to go.
You don't need this.
Why are you doing it?
And he says this, you know, really in a pained way.
And I said, well, well, I didn't say anything.
I mean, he provided all the answers.
I didn't really.
He said, everybody knows you're doing it for everybody else.
Doing it for us.
He said, you're doing it for us.
And he's partially right.
The thought of retirement never enters my mind.
Anyway, remember, I'm not quitting until every American agrees with me.
And that hasn't changed.
These people are not going to drive me out of here.
These people are not, these mindless twit butt-boy criticism are not going to drive me out of here.
I said it at C-SPAC.
A CPAC.
I love the country, and I wish everybody could experience what's happened to me.
And I'm in awe that I love it so much.
I'm willing to do what I can to fight for it.
I believe in it.
But I tell you, when I get calls like the last one, I'm being played like a fiddle.
Sometimes I do ask myself, what's the point here?
What really is the point?
Why put in all the effort if people aren't going to get it anyway?
But I know those are few and far between.
So let's look at this Michael Steele-Rush Limbaugh thing.
That's just a brushfire to distract people, right?
It's far more than that.
First, the White House was thrilled that Steele and I are disagreeing.
Now they're thrilled that we are not disagreeing and that Steele apologized.
Do the media realize how idiotic they sound?
Yesterday, they're just, they're jazzed.
Steele has taken his shot at me.
Steele has said what everybody thinks.
Then Steele apologized.
And they're happy about that.
And you know why they're happy about it?
Because they say, see, Limbaugh is such a grand poo-ba that within 24 to 36 hours, every public figure who takes a shot at him is going to have to apologize.
And they're just, they think it's wonderful.
They think that, see, well, we've been through this over and over.
What they are trying to do is discredit and marginalize the only national critic they've got.
You know, the citadels of conservatism are many.
We have publications.
We have websites.
We have think tanks.
Very few are daring to take on the Obama agenda, and very few are daring to put forth the conservative agenda that many of them claim to be leading the movement.
The Heritage Foundation is about the best think tank out there for advancing conservative principles.
But some of the publications, not all of them, but some of the publications and websites have just, they're phoning it in every day.
They're just phoning it in.
Nobody is standing up for conservatism.
Nobody is defending other conservatives.
Conservatives right now are trying to take each other out.
I'm trying to take the Obama administration down a peg or two and have everybody understand exactly what's coming out of this administration, what the point is.
And I will be willing to do this for as long as is necessary.
Let's go to the tape.
Let's give an example of how the White House is encouraging reporters to stay focused on me.
This is, and don't tell us that those Rahm Emmanuel Stephanopoulos Carvalbagala secret phone calls every morning don't have meaning.
This is a, let's see, who's the question is Ed Henry, CNN of Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman.
The president has spoken a lot about bringing the country together.
Ed, you're a butt boy.
You know, before, this is what happened.
My fertile brain, I'm exploding with reaction.
Just to one phrase of the question from Ed Henry.
Just so you know, Ed, the American people want the country to come together.
The American people see it being divided.
The American people want the stock market to succeed, Ed.
They want their neighbors to succeed.
The American people want free enterprise to succeed.
President Obama is proposing policies that are destructive of these purposes.
I want the people to succeed.
I want the country to succeed.
You don't hear me talking down American history.
You don't hear me talking down our enterprises.
You don't hear me talking down our economic system.
And you don't hear me talking down the traditions and institutions that made this country great.
It is Barack Obama, Ed, who talks of a failed nation.
I talk of a failed ideology that is being advanced.
You know, Ed, you people in the media, you ought to be paying some attention to what Obama's policies and comments are already doing to the economy.
Obama's administration is predicting more economic problems for a long time, a contracting economy, while at the same time they're advancing their ideology to remake the nation.
And Obama admitted it this morning.
There's a disconnect here between helping the economy grow and helping to create jobs and the ideological agenda of Obama, which is destructive to those ends.
Where is the intelligent reporting on this, Ed?
All of you in the White House press corps, excepting Jake Tapper.
Jake Tapper is the one guy that's outside the but-boy bubble in the White House press room.
But there's a huge disconnect here, Ed.
You know, have you, Ed, have you seen what's happened to your 401k since Obama was elected?
The disconnect between helping the economy grow and helping to create jobs and the ideological agenda of Obama, which is destructive to those ends.
There is no intelligent reporting on this.
The fact is, Obama is killing the economy, doing so on purpose while he's expanding his power and that of the federal government.
Isn't that a news story, Ed?
Isn't that a bigger news story than me?
Isn't what's happening to people's lives and their jobs and their homes and their futures.
Ed, isn't that a bigger story than me?
Why don't you ask Robert Gibbs about that?
Mr. Gibbs, isn't the economy and the Wall Street collapse and people losing their jobs in their homes, isn't that a bigger story than Rush Limbaugh?
Do you think Rah Emanuel could talk about that, some of his talking points to George Stephanopoulos and Carville and Bogalo?
Is it not worth coverage what's happening to the U.S. economy?
Barack Obama is already failing when it comes to the economy.
He is succeeding, however, in empowering himself in the government.
So Obama is killing the economy.
He's expanding the government.
And we're all supposed to stand up and give him a standing O. We're just supposed to stand up and share this like you butt boys in the White House media.
Let me ask you this, Ed or Chuck or Helen or well, Hill.
I can't remember any other names.
The White House Presco, they look like they came out of cookie mold.
But let me ask you a question.
Maybe you ought to ask Gibbs.
I know I'm pipe dreaming here, but here's a question.
Maybe Jake Tapper should ask Obama or Gibbs, what would you like Rush Limbaugh to succeed at?
Don't you want Rush Limbaugh to fail, Mr. Gibbs?
Aren't you interested in Limbaugh failing?
Mr. Gibbs, what does President Obama want conservatives to succeed at?
Or you could ask it another way.
Jake, you could say, Mr. Gibbs, is Obama trying to permanently defeat conservatism so it's not a viable force anymore?
What part of our policy, agenda philosophy, does Obama want us to succeed at?
I'm plenty happy to talk about what I hope he's trying to do fails, but I'm also at the same time the one guy in this country talking about success and my desire that everybody have it.
Here's the thing, Ed.
We haven't lost you yet.
We have a man who is systematically trying to destroy his opposition with his policies, and we are debating my defense of our policies as obstructing him.
Barack Obama is trying to destroy his opposition, not just me, the whole Republican Party, the whole conservative movement, with his policies.
And you entertain this White House-led debate that says I, defending my policies and myself, is obstructing Obama.
I'm getting away in the way of the authoritarian.
When I listen to you people in the White House press corps and on cable TV, I actually get the conclusion, come to the conclusion that you think that we're just to surrender.
Surrender everything we believe in.
Surrender everything we have.
Surrender it all so Obama's remaking the nation becomes a reality.
That's the way you sound as butt-boys in the Obama administration.
Whatever Obama wants, he's going to get, and whoever's in the way has got to be defeated, wiped out, or they must surrender.
Well, I'm not giving up and order any of the people on my side.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
A quick phone call before the Robert Gibbs soundbite that I promised you, Chris in Redding, Pennsylvania.
Hi, nice to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
I just wanted to express my amazing kudos to you for sticking up for the conservative side.
We're out here.
We're listening.
We're waiting for somebody in the political world and the Republican side to say what you're saying, and nobody's saying it.
They're trying to out Democrat the Democrats.
And when the Democrats are picking on you, it's giving somebody an opportunity to express the conservative side and articulate it.
All our politicians do is say we need tax cuts, we need lower government, smaller government, but they never say why.
They never express the benefit.
They never give a vision, and it's just...
They're not in that frame of mind.
It's one of the...
That's why I touched on this at CPAC in my speech.
What we should be all about right now is just what you said, philosophy.
We're caught up in policy.
We're caught up in letting the Democrats establish the agenda or the premise of any issue, and then we debate it as though Obama's just another Democrat to come down the pike.
This is far worse.
This is far more than an average Democrat down the pike.
is an authoritarian who wants to take as much control for himself and the Democrat Party of this government, the economy, as he can.
And it's silly to start playing around the edges here with policy and simply discussing votes and this.
We can't stop anything he wants.
That's why this is an ideal time for Republicans to set the stage for 2010 and to start running around talking about philosophy, principles.
Because you know something, folks?
When you live by your principles, and by the way, everybody falls off the train now and then nobody's perfect.
We're not demanding perfection from anybody.
But when you live your life by your principles, conservative principles in this case that we're talking about, the policy comes naturally.
Now, Obama, he has to calculate policy.
He has to.
We don't, I mean, but this is a perfect time to be selling conservatism, to contrast Republican conservatism with Obama.
They're not there yet.
They're still shell-shocked, and they're still caught up in the process of policy.
But they'll get there.
As this goes on, we get closer to Election Day and this stuff keeps up, they'll catch up, hopefully, because this is the only way we're going to beat this stuff.
We're not going to beat this with Democrat light.
It ain't going to happen.
It's the fastest three hours in media.
Sadly, the second hour has come to a screeching halt.
But there's still an hour to go after this brief time out here at the top of the hour.
