Time Text
How about this headline?
It is from Reuters.
It's the latest unemployment numbers.
U.S. private sector axes 742,000 jobs in March.
What's wrong with that headline, Mr. Limbaugh?
What's wrong with that?
U.S. private sector.
Axes, U.S. economy loses 742,000 jobs, 742,000 people lose their jobs.
No, U.S. private sector, the evil capitalist sector of the American country.
Yes, the evil capitalist side fired 742,000.
But the precious and lovable government didn't do it.
Rick Wagner, he's gone.
Yay!
Yay, we got rid of Rick Wagner, and you're next if you're a banker on Wall Street.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, and the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A telephone number if you want to join us, and we're gonna get to your calls El Quico in this hour, little Spanish lingo there.
800 282-2882, the email.
Email address L Rushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
All right, straight to the audio sound bites here.
We have some doozies.
By the way, the uh it's the G20, this is a drive-by media reporting the protests at the G20 and some of what Obama did.
But this is great.
You know, one of these uh the one of these groups, this massive group of liberals with too much time on their hands.
Have you looked at the throng that is over there protesting everything?
What do they do for a living?
Are they just perpetual students all obsessed with what people think about them?
They're just a bunch of people about and everything is about them.
Me, me, me, me, me.
So they they they actually stormed their way into a Royal Bank of Scotland or United Bank of Scotland building, and some of the staff inside the building on the upper floors grab some 10-pound uh notes, like 10-pound, $10 bills, they just started waving them at them.
You know, just taunting them.
At least the people inside had a sense of humor about this.
All right, up first is Richard Engel of NBC on the Today Show today.
The um correspondent they're reporting live from the protests of the Bank of England in London.
The message here is that capitalism isn't working.
They don't want to pay for what they consider to be a banker's crisis that has caused many corporate failures, unemployment.
I'm sitting next to an effigy right now, a dummy dressed in the uniform of a banker, a dark suit.
He has a noose around his neck, and many in the financial sector in this country today are trying to take precaution.
There are some radical groups that are calling on direct action to be taken for some bankers to be attacked.
So called the protests here have been quite festive.
There are people with music, there are families here.
Festive!
The protests are festive, they're breaking in the banks.
They're breaking when does the riot police addict another riot cops and Scotland Yard totally unprepared, and they were driven out.
It's festive.
It's a festive protest, and of course, families were there.
This is school day over in the UK.
What the hell are families doing there?
Here's another thing, ladies and gentlemen.
And I mentioned the top of the hour, the message here is that capitalism isn't working.
Where?
There isn't capitalism in the UK.
There isn't capitalism, and it's starting to make a little comeback in France, but throughout much of the European Union, they're talking about Western-styled socialist democracy.
Germany's starting to break out a little bit, but what capitalism?
This is anti-U.
This is an anti-U.S.
protest, and as I said, I'm a little perplexed.
They're out there bashing capitalism, and one of the premier anti-capitalists in the world is attending the G20, who just happens to be the president of the United States.
These people ought to be festively Celebrating.
Because they've got an ally.
The President of the United States himself is an anti-capitalist, as evidenced by his policies, as evidenced by his desire to take over.
Large gulps of the U.S. private sector.
Now, this next bite, this is you're going to listen to this the right way.
But to me, it's a see I told you so.
We finally get the truth about all these protesters and who they really are.
This is from PMS, NBC this morning, the co-host Tamron Hall talking to uh ITN reporter Damon Green live amongst the protesters of the Bang of England.
The Bank of England.
Well, it could be the Bang of England today, basically what they're doing out there.
Uh the anchor Tamron Hall says, it seems there are a number of different groups represented, but is there a larger organization there represented, or is this just a hodgepodge of anger?
This is not even really a coalition.
Everyone is here, every group is represented.
And if you look at the various placards, no two placards are the same.
There are people protesting against pollution of the oceans.
There are people protesting against growing debt in the developing world.
There are people protesting against the war in Iraq.
I've even seen protests of uh transsexuals against the war.
Everyone is missing George W. Bush.
If he was still president of the United States, there would be a unifying character here.
Everyone would be protesting against him.
But you have Barack Obama, and things are different.
Just amazing.
For years, ladies and gentlemen, again, and I I must honestly say I I I do feel a little trepidation about saying, I told you, I told you, but we've been doing this 20 plus years now, and for these 20 years I have said things, and among the things I've said is that these protesters are just every liberal group in the world showing up, protesting their their little pet cause.
When you did have Bush, the media would report them as being unified against, and they are, they're unified against freedom, they're unified against liberty, they're unified against capitalism.
These are people with basically meaningless lives.
Their own estimation, not mine.
They basically feel like they're just lost in a sea of humanity with no purpose.
This is how they try to get noticed.
Facebook's not enough for them.
MySpace, not enough for them.
YouTube videos, not enough for them.
They gotta go out there where they know there are real cameras and live television, and they've got to be seen.
They have to be part of the story.
They want to matter.
They want to make it look like their lives have meaning.
It's the media who reports them as unified against a certain figure.
So of course, none of these protests could be against Obama.
No.
Why, he'd loved and adored over there in Europe.
If that were the case, there wouldn't be protesters, would there.
And then this idiot, Damon Green of ITN, everyone's missing George W. Bush.
Everyone How about you, Mr. Green, Miss George W. Bush?
How about your buddies in the UK drive-by media might miss George W. Bush?
These people aren't missing anything.
They're throwing box, rocks, and bottles, and in one case I read that they're through launching missiles at the windows of this bank.
What are they missing?
They're hitting the target.
Everyone's missing George W. Bush.
If he were still president, there would be a unifying character here.
Everybody would be protesting against him, but you have Barack Obama, and things are different.
How does he know?
Now the next bite is the same reporter, Damon Green, live amongst the protesters at the Bank of Bank of England.
He added this.
This is not a protest at all against uh President Obama.
He is a U.S. president who enjoys enormous popularity in the United Kingdom.
Popularity no American president has enjoyed here for many years.
perhaps Bill Clinton at the height of his powers, then you have to go back possibly to JFK, to a president who was so universally adored here.
So it can't be Obama.
They can't be protesting Obama because he's universally loved and adored here.
Perhaps more so than any president ever, except Bill Clinton, at the height of his powers.
Well, if if this is the case, if if these protesters love Obama, why didn't Obama call on them to stop?
Of course, Obama loves this.
The chaos, the confusion, the uh the the uh I level bombicides.
There well, I haven't seen any I love Obama signs.
Have you?
There were there were a few yes we can signs.
Well, that's the Obama slogan, you know, from the uh from from his uh at Grant Park uh when he accepted the Democrat won the election.
But I haven't seen any I love Obama signs.
Have you?
I haven't seen him.
Now here's the real story on the protest.
This is from Fox News and the correspondent Greg Palcott, who is live amongst the protesters.
Police clashing with protesters.
Police are now estimating 4,000 protesters doing something what they call the G twenty meltdown in honor of the G twenty economic summit tomorrow.
They were targeting the Bank of England as their principal villain in what they see as a financial catastrophe hitting the planet.
Wait, wait, wait, stop the tape.
This idiot Damon Green just said there's nobody there or nothing there that was unifying.
There were no unifying character.
But apparently the unifying character is the Bank of England.
Uh here's Paul Cott and the remainder of his report.
Did a pretty good job of holding them off.
There were 23 arrests there, some injuries, the windows were smashed, and protesters got inside, threw furniture out.
It should be noted, guys, that the Royal Bank of Scotland was a benefit of a UK bailout, including an executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland who got a clean million dollar a year pension from that.
So there's a lot of populist anger here.
Right.
So we we do have a unifying place, the bank, and apparently we have a unifying principle for these nomads, and that would be bailouts.
What we have here is populist bailout violence from a good reporter, Greg Polcut at uh at Fox News.
Let's go back to me on this program yesterday.
Uh I gave you a prediction on what happened here at the G twenty.
I guarantee you.
Don't fall for all these reports.
That this G twenty is on thin ice is gonna fall apart, that these European leaders are gonna tell Obama to go to hell or all that.
It's gonna be just the opposite.
Mark, he wouldn't go otherwise.
He's not gonna go.
Unless this is all etched in stone before he gets there.
Any president would do that.
I mean, these these kind of things there.
He's not, you know, th they're they're not gonna get the Russians to agree with him on Iran and to slow them down.
But but they're gonna put out a statement, all his hunky-dory, it was love and wonderful.
We got a great statement, mission statement to move forward.
Nothing's gonna get done, but they're gonna portray it as though great accomplishments have taken place, and that's already written.
It's already done.
You don't go over there if you're sure that Sarkozy is gonna walk out of it.
Sarkozy not going to walk out.
These mindless threats here, that's Sarkozy campaigning to his own people.
So here is Obama himself now.
This this uh agreement's already in place.
See, I told you so continues.
Obama talking about his uh meeting with the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev of the KGB.
Uh I am very grateful uh to the President Media for taking the time to uh visit with me today.
Uh I'm particularly gratified uh because prior to the meeting, uh our respective teams have worked together and have developed a series of approaches to areas of common interest that I think uh present great promise.
What I believe we've begun today is a very constructive dialogue that will allow us to work on issues of mutual interest uh like uh the reduction of nuclear weapons.
Now at that point, Medvedevino was seen with his with his hand over his mouth and then quickly uh recomposed himself when he heard President Obama said, Yeah, we made great strides here getting rid of nuclear weapons.
Medvedev could barely contain himself.
The teleprompter made Obama said that, uh say that, and and it was just Medvedev could hardly wait to get out of that room and call Putin and say you won't believe what he just thinks we agreed to.
But did you hear?
Just to show you I know what I'm talking about.
I'm particularly gratified because prior to the meeting, our repres uh respective teams worked together and developed a series of approaches to areas of common interest that I think present great promise.
So they had all the substantive talks before Obama gets there with Dmitry Medvedev.
I will wager you.
They they may have talked about nuclear weapons, but there's no framework for the Russians to reduce them.
And I just love Medvedev.
The Russians are saying this is going to be so easy.
Gordon Brown, and I I told you that, you know, yesterday this is Fox.
No, take it back, it was PMSNBC.
They were doing a story, an advanced story on the G twenty.
And uh this was before they started running stories on the countdown to Air Force One's touchdown at Stansted in England.
Air Force won a touchdown soon.
Barack Obama to deep lane soon.
Prior to doing those reports, they actually were having a discussion and they had the uh Chiron headline at the bottom of the screen.
Can Obama save the world economy?
Can Obama save the world economy?
Here's Gordon Brown finally got his joint press conference with Obama and a portion of his opening remarks.
I want to thank you for your leadership, your vision, and your courage, which you've already showed in your presidency, and congratulate you on the dynamism, the energy, and indeed the achievements that you have been responsible for.
Your first 70 days in office have changed America.
And you've changed America's relationship with the world.
So here is a full-fledged committed global socialist praising the president of the United States for all of his achievements in the first 70 days.
A global socialist happy with the changes Obama has made.
And uh you have changed America's relationship with the world, which is why all of the losers that make up the protesters are breaking bank windows.
But the slobbering, the slobber, this guy, folks, I'm telling you, he if he keeps this up throughout the G20, Gordon Brown will come down with anal poisoning and may die from it.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Your highly trained broadcast specialist meeting and surpassing all audience expectations by the minute.
All right, to the phones.
We still have uh uh lots of audio sound bites.
Obama next.
But we'll go to Columbus, Ohio, and uh and say hi to Matt.
Matt, you're up first to the Well, yeah, yeah, you're the first call.
Great to have you here.
Hi, thanks.
Yeah, I got a question about the budget and the Republicans' alternative budget.
Yeah.
The um the media, I can't find I just want to find out what the differences is are as far as how much less money we're gonna spend.
It seems like the media just isn't covering it.
I've heard that it's laughable, but they don't seem to want to tell you the details unless you decide for yourself.
And I was wondering where why is that?
Well, probably because it's never gonna happen.
But I I that's one reason they're not reporting it.
The other reason they don't believe in it, they're not they're not the media doesn't care what the Republicans are doing, proposing.
Um they're judge, jury, and executioner, basically for their alternative ideas.
Yes, at this stage, I mean they become activists.
They're not I mean is is it possible?
So we're gonna have to come up with something new again, like a contract with America, something that's bigger that they just can't ignore that hits them in the face and no, no, no, you're missing no, no.
Look at I'm gonna tell you what's in a Republican budget here, but you have to learn something.
Okay.
And I have uh I have begged and asked people to do this for the course of uh many years of my Sterling broadcast career.
Please, ladies and gentlemen, do not ever seek validation for your own views, do not define success in advancing our cause by whether or not we are discussed accurately in the drive-by media.
There are certain realities that one has to face, and there are certain realities in life that you cannot change.
And when you can't Change something, it's ridiculous to be obsessed with it.
It is a total waste of time to be obsessed with the media and what they say about Republicans.
You can sit there and say, but Rush, but Rush, they're poisoning the minds of the Yeah, but George W. Bush still won two terms, Ronald Reagan won two terms.
The right candidate can win.
Right message can win.
The drive-bys don't win all the time.
If you believe that the ultimate success of what you believe in resides in seeing it promoted and respected on the NBC Nightly News every night...
You are going to be disappointed and sad for the rest of your life.
That isn't going to change.
Nothing you can do to change it.
Focus on voters, not the media.
If you were with us yesterday here on the Rush Limbaugh program in the EIB network, then you know that the North Korean government has purchased a few commercials on this program to get their message out to the United States of America.
They specifically asked for a message from their um uh leader, the potbellied dictator Kim Jong il, to be run today.
He's not been invited to the G twenty.
He's very upset about it.
You know they're threatening to launch missiles that uh they claim are satellite missiles, but the Japanese and uh number a number of other nations are gearing up.
Our own defense secretary said there's nothing we can do to stop it.
So uh ever the world waits to see what's going to happen between I think it's between April 3rd and the 6th, or 6th and the 12th, or that's the window that the North Koreans have said they're gonna launch.
So now, uh ladies and gentlemen, a paid announcement from the President of North Korea or the dictator, what do you call himself?
The the the dear leader, dear leader, Kim Jong il and now a brief but loud communique from the dear leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-il.
Greetings and salutations to the new but badly flawed Obama administration.
Already the thin shoulders of your messiah are buckling under the weight of responsibility to build a socialist people's paradise in this first one hundred days.
Ah, a truly strong president, similar to myself, would do this in one day.
No thirty or sixty days for a company to submit to me.
I would just confiscate the wealth and burn the factory to the ground the same day.
And I had such high hopes for you in the beginning.
Uh me.
You are weak.
And who is this dragon lady you send to lurk at my door?
Oh, bright.
Where is the ever sexy Melana Albright Basketball Ford in all of North Korea?
Only she can attempt to stop our launch of the new bang pan rocket into space.
With a peaceful satellite greater than even Sputnik.
But before Warren, this new advanced rocket powered by dungas and wood shabbies.
Well, with a very large cloud of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
Warming your side of the earth in the extreme.
But we will consider delaying our launch if certain gifts are forthcoming.
Exercise equipment, such as complete with instructions.
And correct format you sent the British Prime Minister.
Then we may also engage in talks.
But under no circumstances will President Obama be allowed to visit our country, since the North Korean people already have the one and only Save your messiah.
Kim Jong il.
That is all.
A message to the American people.
Kim Jong-il, dear leader of North Korea, not part of the G twenty.
Still desirous of getting his message out.
All right.
The question was what's in the Republican alternative budget proposal.
Couple sound bites here to explain it.
Paul Ryan this morning in Washington, Congressman from Wisconsin held a press conference to introduce the Republican budget.
We have a couple sound bites.
Here's number one.
Our budget avoids the huge tax increase scheduled at the end of 2010.
By making the 2001 and 2003 tax relief permanent.
Second, it permanently extends the alternative minimum patch tax.
Next.
Our budget reforms the broken tax code by making it simpler, more pro-growth, and more competitive.
For individuals, we offer taxpayers a choice.
You can have the current code with all of its bells and loopholes and deductions if you want to.
Or you can switch over to a choice-based system, a simple system.
A system with two rates.
10% on the first hundred thousand dollars for couples or fifty thousand for individuals, twenty-five percent above that.
And here's his second part of his presentation.
But get this economy growing.
We propose a number of reforms.
Number one, cut the corporate tax rate.
Currently, it's the second highest in the industrialized world to the average industrialized nation rate, 25%.
We also propose to suspend the capital gains tax through the year 2010.
We need to spur investment, not punishing.
That's Paul Ryan, Congressman Wisconsin with the alternative Republican budget, and the ideas are great.
Don't misunderstand here my flippantly about this to the caller.
The ideas are fabulous.
In fact, many of them were in my bipartisan stimulus plan op ed published in the Wall Street Journal way back many months ago when Obama was asking and saying he would listen to ideas that maybe were not his if they made sense.
And so I wrote after he told Republicans not to listen to me.
I submitted my bipartisan stimulus plan.
And two of the key ingredients were cutting the corporate income tax rate and suspending the uh capital gains rate for a year or longer.
This is what the Republicans have proposed.
And it makes sense that they would propose this after all.
I have been named by Democrat leaders as the leader of the Republican Party.
Back to the phones.
Anne in Virginia Beach.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
I can't believe I'm talking to you.
I used to wear a Dittohead sweatshirt to school when I was twelve.
Wow.
Oh, I'm it's great that you called.
I'm glad you got in.
Well, I wanted to call you thousands of times over the years, and I can't believe this is the reason I'm calling, but I dreamt about you last night, Rush.
Oh, I love these kind of calls.
Do you know do you know how exciting it is for a guy to have a woman tell him that she dreamed about him?
I can't wait to hear this.
What was the dream?
I wish it were exciting.
But we were uh we were living in a post-Obama America.
I'm not sure that we were all the way uh communist yet, but we were certainly some sort of socialist nation.
Wait a minute.
Keep keep going to some little shocked here.
I will.
We were um in some sort of seminar that we were required to take, and I was sitting at a table and you sat next to me.
A man in another part of the classroom stood up and yelled over Rush.
I heard O'Reilly pulled the plug on his show today, and that you're next.
And I, of course, said, Absolutely not.
Rush would not believe us.
We need him now.
And I turned to look at you, you had a very sympathetic, sad look on your face, and you nodded yes, to which I immediately burst into tears.
And said, No, Rush, no, you can't.
This is not a dream.
I swear, I swear.
No, no, this is a nightmare.
It was very fast.
Huge deal.
I mean, I was expecting to hear stories of uh an island in the Caribbean.
It is.
Pina Colada is a nice isolated suite with a ceiling fan.
I I do with that.
But here's how you comforted me.
There was no paper around.
There was nothing for you to give me.
And you took off your shoe, and on it you wrote, don't fear, and you signed your name.
I think you intended it to be my security bank through the tribulations to come.
Well, you know, that's I I I want to assure you that the that those aspects of your dream will not come to pass.
I I pray they will.
Other than O'Reilly giving up his show, that might happen.
But but the the the other aspects of it, that this this will not happen.
I uh but this this is a a sign of the fear uh that is out.
People are dreaming about Obama camps, re-education camps.
All right, and thanks much.
All right, let's grab a couple more Obama sound bites.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, predicting, uh, by the way, confirming what I predicted he would do at the G twenty.
Here he is, part of his joint press conference with the uh prime minister of the UK, Gordon Brown.
People losing their homes, losing their businesses that they worked so hard for, uh losing their health care in the United States.
Uh people around the world who were already desperate before the crisis and may uh find themselves even more desperate afterwards.
Uh that's what our agenda has to begin with, and that's where it will end.
Well, there you have it.
I mean, he's being very upfront and honest.
People losing their homes.
No, they're not.
We are paying them to stay in their homes.
We're paying their car payments now, too.
Losing their businesses that they work so hard for, losing their health care in the U.S., people around the world who were already desperate before the crisis, they find themselves even more desperate afterwards.
That's what our agenda has to begin with.
May I translate this for you?
What this means is he's not only going to redistribute your wealth to its rightful quote unquote owners in America, he's going to spread it around the world.
He's going to take care, and he's going to redistribute the wealth of the world to its rightful owners.
He then added this.
We must not miss an opportunity to lead to confront a crisis that knows no borders.
We have a responsibility to coordinate our actions and to focus on common ground, not on our occasional differences.
History shows us that when nations fail to cooperate, when they turn away from one another, when they turn inward, the price for our people only grows.
That's how the Great Depression deepened.
That's a mistake that we cannot afford to repeat.
What in the hell is he talking about?
The Great Depression deepened because nations turned away from one another.
I can think of two.
Japan and Germany.
I don't know what trade restrictions.
Well, I don't know what he's talking about here, but this he's certainly sounding globalist, is he not?
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the obligatory conclusion.
I would say that uh if you look at uh the the sources of this crisis, uh the United States certainly uh has some accounting to do with respect to a uh regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that had taken place in the global financial system.
Uh I had a uh professor when I was in law school who said some are to blame, but all are responsible.
Uh and I I I think that's the best way for us to approach uh the problem that we have right now.
Touchy feely new age gobbledygook.
Some are to blame, but all are responsible.
He was reacting to a question, and the question was the Prime Minister has repeatedly blamed the U.S. for causing the crisis.
France and Germany blame both Britain and America for causing the crisis.
Who's right?
And isn't the debate about that at the heart of the debate about what to do now?
And Obama agreed.
He basically apologized on behalf of the United States for causing the world financial crisis.
His answer was I would say if you look at the sources of the crisis, the U.S. certainly has some accounting to do with respect to our regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system.
It's our fault.
Apologize for America.
That's why Snerdley, you were all convinced yesterday he was going to go over there, and this thing was going to fall apart because you fell hook line and sinker with the media reports that the French were mad that the Germans were mad that the UK were mad there, but they were mad at Obama, going to blame Obama, and the one thing you forgot was that Obama would agree with them.
You got a bunch of people in G20 blaming America as they always do.
What's new is that we now have a president who blames America too and agrees with them.
Rush Limbaugh with half my brand tied behind my back.
To uh make it fair.
Nice to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
We love you here in Texas.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Awesome to talk to you.
Um I'm a first-time caller And a brand new activist, and I'm late 40 something, so this is kind of new to me.
Um, I have a couple of questions.
One thing I really don't understand, and another thing I'd love to get your get your version of.
And it relates to GM and the state of Texas.
Yeah.
Um, Rick Perry is gonna have probably what I would bet is a sonic boom on his hands if GM, who produces their SUVs only in Texas, decides to close that plant.
Um what kind of sound waves can we expect around here if that kind of thing happens?
I guess I'm trying to say is is Texas gonna have any say in the way things happen with this new Obama world?
No.
No power.
Well, not let me explain to you why.
You are familiar with the stimulus bill, correct?
Yes.
Are you aware that many governors have said they don't want it all, or they uh only take a portion and they don't want any of it.
Uh Governor Sanford of South Carolina, uh Governor Palin of Alaska.
In the stimulus bill is a provision that if governors refuse they have to take it all.
They can't cherry pick and say we want this, we want that.
They have to take every dollar allotted to them in the stimulus bill, porcupist bill.
If the governor refuses it, there is a an unconstitutional statute in the bill that allows the state directs the state legislatures to take the money anyway over the opinion of the government.
Governors in the stimulus bill have been rendered meaningless.
Powerless.
You don't even need powerless, you don't even need to have them.
Now the whole stimulus bill, and there's a greater and greater consensus building on this.
The whole thing, because of things like this in it, which destroy the whole concept of federalism is unconstitutional.
But the but Obama and his people are they they're telling Democrat legislatures are even Republican dominated legislatures, if your governor doesn't take the money, scram it.
So if Obama is indeed going to make General Motors, and there's a story in the stack today that he's going to put more and more of his people on the GM board.
Right.
We know that he doesn't like SUVs.
We know that the government and the uh left does not like these things, they don't like people driving them.
If and we also know that the SUV and the truck lines are among the profitable vehicles GM is manufacturing.
But GM, if if Obama says But they're not part of the objective.
What?
SUVs, that's like on the most hated list.
According to liberals.
They what do you mean they're not part of the objective?
Liberals hate SUVs.
Right.
They are part of the objective to get rid of them.
Mm-hmm.
Is what I need.
If if the Obama Motors Board of Directors tells GM to get rid of the SUVs, uh based on recent behavior of GM, I don't think they'll do anything other than say, okay.
If that results in the closing of a manufacturing plant in Texas, and Obama said more plants are gonna close, and the new CEO said more plants are gonna close.
And Texas is a Republican state, and the way politics works, you're gonna close a state, and you're a Democrat, do it in a Republican state.
They're not gonna vote for you anyway.
If it happens, you have chaos that helps.
You have unemployment, you have a need for unemployment benefits and state assistance, all that's just what Governor Perry didn't want to accept.
Governor Perry doesn't exist.
Oh, this is frustrating, Rush.
When it comes to this, so the the point of it, let me finish the point here.
