Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
All right, so I have not seen the staff in a week.
10 days since I last saw the staff.
What's the first thing Brian says to me?
No, he asked me, how did you do on your diet on your golf trip?
The answer is I lost three pounds during the golf trip.
But of all the things to say, what were you worried?
You think I was going to balloon back up when I was gone?
Anyway, greetings, folks.
America, obviously happy to have me back.
Have you seen Wall Street?
It's up 130 points today after lackluster performances last week.
So not only are you happy to have me back, but so are investors.
It is great to be back.
We are here behind the Golden EIB microphone.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, lrushbow at EIBnet.com.
We are in for a fast and wild week, folks.
The pundits are still totally missing it on Sarah Palin, except for Willie Brown.
Willie Brown with a column in the San Francisco Chronicle over the weekend understands Sarah Palin.
Of course, the Sophomaior hearings got off the bat this morning, got started.
And, you know, she probably a lock in there because the Democrats have a majority of the votes.
But the Republicans are really unified in their message.
They're making this all about her record, her public comments, liberal judicial activism.
Jeff Sessions was fabulous.
We got audio soundbites of this coming up.
They're going after her on substance and the differences between judicial restraint and liberal judicial activism.
And the Democrats are on defensive on this.
The chairman, Pat Leakey Leahy, started out by making it about race and background.
And Leahy said something that was the most...
Let me look at this here.
I was...
I was watching Leahy in his opening statement today, and he said that the classics were unavailable to her.
He started out trying to make this all about her life and how hard it's been and how poor she was and how hard she worked.
And the classics were unavailable to her.
The classics?
My fear is that most Americans watching this are saying classic whats, given the public school curriculum these days.
But nevertheless, she went to Cardinal Spellman High School.
Cardinal Spelman High School.
The classics were not available.
She couldn't go to the library if she wanted to access the classics.
That is one of the most, oh, tear-jerking.
Let's play the Stradivarius and get the tears going for poor Sonia.
So the Mayor, she was denied access to the classics.
My guess is she'd have found racism in all the classics.
She'd have found bigotry in all the classics.
If she read the classics, she'd wonder why the hell are these classic?
This is Western civilization, white-dominated culture to help with this.
But just, I don't know, folks.
So the Republicans are going, they're staying united on this.
As I say, Sessions was good.
And so after a couple of Republican senators were united in their comments on her record on racism, they had bigotry.
They didn't use the words, of course, but the wise Latina thing, guns, abortion, racial preferences, even Ricci.
The Democrats are now trying real hard to walk back her statements and her record.
And they're trying to paint her as a proponent of judicial restraint, the rule of law, separation of powers.
I mean, you listen to Democrats after, they sound like they're big fans of Clarence Thomas.
They sound like they're big fans of Antonin Scalia here.
Originalism.
So anyway, cap and trade.
The EPA says it won't work.
Have you heard T-Boone Pickens out of the alternative wind market?
Do you hear about that?
T-Boone's out.
T-Boone's giving it up.
All that money he spent.
Sterdly, don't doubt me here.
I'm telling you the truth.
T-Boone is giving up the wind business.
And in a specific place in Texas, he's giving up the wind business because there aren't any power lines from the windmills to wherever they need to go, but he's getting out of it.
And he spent a whole lot of money there.
Just not happening.
Cap and trade, of course, that's all about redistribution of wealth, health care, all these tax increases that the House Democrats are talking about here.
And Wall Street's most accurate analyst the last couple of years, Meredith Whitney, is now predicting 13% unemployment.
Obama's now seriously talking about stimulus three.
We've had the current stimulus is number two.
Don't forget stimulus one was the Bush Pelosi package, $168 billion to send everybody but us here at the EIB network a check that would, what, buy you a muffler?
Whatever it was.
That was done in April, over a year ago, 15 months ago.
Unemployment was 4.8% when the first stimulus happened.
And of course, we're now at, what, 9.5 after two stimuli.
And now they're talking about a third stimuli.
Anybody with a brain, ladies and gentlemen, anybody sane has to admit that this is not being done to revitalize an economy.
Everybody with a brain knows this.
This is what is so outrageous about this.
There's world history, American history, recent history.
This is not how you stimulate growth in the private sector.
And by the Federal Reserve, don't forget they've already pumped a trillion dollars into the economy.
And how's that working out?
So it's, I don't know, we've got to continue to fight it here.
So much to talk about here.
Is the Michael Jackson funeral over?
Is it?
Well, I'll tell you what, I know who was great?
The memorial was great.
I had a great golf trip.
I'm going to tell you about it, but not right now, because if I tell you about it right now, the stick-to-the-issues crowd will be bombarding me with every place they can.
But we went, Tom Fazio was on the group.
He was the premier golf course designer in the country today.
And he put together an itinerary of five Fazio design courses.
Starting in Montana, went to Cordeline, Iowa, Redmond, Oregon.
Here are the courses.
Stock Farm in Montana.
They're all great.
And the people at these places were just, you know, I'd like to be a member at every one of them.
Stock Farm in Hamilton, Montana, which tolerant of Missoula.
Cordeline, Iowa.
Gorgeous place.
99.9% conservative.
Gorgeous, gorgeous place.
Gausser Ranch is the name of the development, the golf course.
And it's on Lake Cordeline, some of the most beautiful vistas from the golf course.
It was just stunning.
Then we went to Pronghorn, which is in Redmond, Oregon.
From there, we went down to Martis Camp, M-A-R-T-I-S, which is a truckey California north of Lake Tahoe.
And we ended up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at a course that's just opened the day after we played it, officially opened, Shooting Star.
And then we winged our way back.
Five places in five days.
It was just a hoot.
It was just a hoot.
Well, that's what I was going to say.
We're in the airplane, you know, going to these various places at the end of the day.
And yeah, you couldn't miss it.
In fact, one of the problems with the Jackson Memorial, it took some really important Obama news off the news.
A lot of really important, I think that's why the state-run media gorged on Michael Jackson news.
They gorged on Jackson news long after there wasn't any, because it allowed them the opportunity not to report on some of the negative stuff happening with Obama and the administration.
I did not see any of the official memorial.
I saw the Hearst leaving the Oaklawn private lawn, Forest Lawn, Century, whatever it is, and heading to the Staples Center.
But I didn't see anything of what happened at the Staples Center.
I did hear that Magic Johnson said that Michael Jackson made him a better basketball player.
I always thought that was Arsenio Hall, but nevertheless, you say it was good.
I didn't see it.
It's not that we purposely, we couldn't miss it, no matter what channel we tuned to.
Even the sci-fi network was covering it.
I'm kidding.
So so much happened in just one week.
But I've had so many people email me, say, this wasn't the same without you here talking about it.
It didn't seem as vibrant.
Is that true, Mr. Snerdley?
Well, we'll start here for what's most current.
That's Sotomayor.
But I mean, some of the things, Biden, we misread the economy.
This is the second time he said this, and we guessed wrong.
We misread the economy.
This is so predictable.
A couple of polls.
The Gallup poll sees more Americans moving right.
But don't get your hopes up on that.
That's just because it's physically impossible to go more left right now.
Rasmussen poll.
Rasmussen poll, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight of 10 key issues.
I'm not sure I trust any of them.
Let's see.
G8 rejects global warming.
Is that true?
G8 rejects global warming.
I thought they accepted except for China and India.
The undeveloped nations.
Well, there's another thing.
See, if indeed developing nations and their carbon emissions are destroying the climate, how in the world can you come to a climate agreement with two of the largest developing nations, China and India, exempt?
So it's not about changing the climate.
None of what Obama wants to do is about the stated purpose.
Healthcare is not about health care.
Cap and trade is not about cap and trade.
Cap and trade's about making Goldman Sachs trillionaires.
I got it right here.
I offered that opinion last week.
I was stealing from Nina Easton.
She's the one that gave me the thought.
I was watching her on Fox.
Got a story in here.
Rolling Stone.
Who is that, Jan Winner?
Rolling Stone, big left-time liberal music.
Long, long story, just ripping Goldman Sachs, blaming Goldman Sachs for every bubble we've had, a tech bubble, a housing bubble, the gasoline price bubble.
And now the cap and trade, they stand to make, well, cap and trade.
Trade is trade.
That's what happens on Wall Street.
Who's going to be the broker of the trades taking commissions on both sides of the story?
They say it's going to be Goldman Sachs.
Also, there is a story from the New York Times.
Now, this is why you people should be very happy and appreciative that I'm back, because most people read this story and they wouldn't even bring it to the air.
It's from the sports section of the New York Times.
Built to win now, the Mets face the future at their peril.
Now, stick with me on this, and you have to understand here.
I don't care whether we're talking sports, whether we're talking entertainment, whether we're talking hard news, journalists are leftists.
Even before the Mets were swept in Philadelphia last week, and now this July 7th is the date of the story, so this is six days ago.
Some of their fans were calling on the team's general manager, Omar Manaya, to wave the white flag.
They'd seen enough inept play, deflating losses, debilitating injuries, to call for Manaya to trade the team's older players and stars for young prospects and get a more competitive team next season.
Throw in a towel, break up the Mets, said one blog entry.
Mid-season fire sale is needed.
The Mets are in third place, four and a half games behind, blah, blah, blah.
Now, here's the take on this.
I'm not going to read the whole story to you, but sports writers who are as leftist as any other journalists, they can sit here, they diagnose the financial problems of a struggling big market baseball team with no problem.
The New York Mets, they come down, they've gone through this.
Here's the Mets payroll problem.
Here's their financial problem.
They're in big trouble in the future.
They have paying all these old guys that aren't producing a whole bunch of money.
It's just in deficit.
What are they going to do?
And they offer the exact proper prescription for Mets to be fixed.
But they can't seem to see the same thing when it comes to Obama's economy.
They can look at a baseball team and they can see just outrageously poor financial performance, planning, and so forth, and how it's all going to lead the team to sink further down the drain and come up with the solutions to it.
Cut costs, get younger players develop.
But when they look at the Obama economy, they don't see it the same way.
It's just, I don't know.
I thought it was interesting.
Everywhere we went, by the way, global warming, 35 or 40 degrees at night, never got to 75.
I don't think it would have got to 80, one place we'd...
Well, the lack of humidity is hard on the cigars.
Absolutely.
Unless you know what you are, what you're doing.
Anyway, we've got to take a timeout here, folks.
We'll come back.
Your phone calls will be part of the mix, as always, at 800-282-2882.
Before we get into the Sotomayor stuff in great detail here, a couple of other things.
The Sunday New York Times published a recent interview with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg.
And after expressing her annoyance over a 1980 decision that forbids using Medicaid tax dollars for abortions, Justice Ginsburg said this.
I want to quote it.
Frankly, I had thought at the time that Roe was decided that there was concern about population growth, particularly growth in populations we don't want to have too many of.
So that Roe was going to then be set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.
Unquote.
Now, growth in populations, we don't want to have too many.
That's planned parenthood.
That was the original goal of Planned Parenthood.
The original goal of Planned Parenthood was to abort various minorities out of existence.
That was the original purpose.
I think in Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg's case, when she says that she thinks Roe was about Population growth, particularly growth in populations who don't want to have too many of.
She's probably thinking about aborting conservatives.
But the problem with that is it's the liberals that are aborting each other or themselves, their future generations.
Now, what's astounding about this is that a matriarch of modern liberalism was candid about the underlying objective of the abortion movement.
That is to rid society of entire populations deemed unworthy.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was an early proponent of this.
It's called eugenics.
And her aim was to wipe out the African-American population.
Other infamous world figures acted upon similar instincts using other means to achieve their objectives: concentration camps, mass gassings, so-called ethnic cleansings.
Planned Parenthood's no different, Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood, no different than any of the people that use concentration camps, mass gassing, so-called ethnic cleansings.
And what's just ironic as it can be is that the primary supporters of Planned Parenthood are liberals.
And here comes Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg just out of the box admitting what this is all about.
Now, it is all about women's right to choose.
I mean, that's the umbrella under which it all happens.
But, you know, the thing about this group, Planned Parenthood, and you put up an adoption center next to an abortion clinic, and what will happen is the Planned Parenthood people come out and try to keep every pregnant woman possible from going into the adoption center.
There's money involved and all of that.
Now, Justice Ginsburg has not yet stated which American population she would like to see wiped out using Medicaid taxpayer-funded abortions.
New York Times interviewer didn't ask.
Perhaps assume that New York Time readers already know what population Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg.
I'm mentioning this now because we got another one of these type people being investigated today.
Confirmation hearing.
Sonia Sotomayor is probably right down the path with Justice Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg on this issue.
But somebody like me who can read the stitches on the fastball, read between the lines, Justice Ginsburg's remarks tell the real story.
And they ought to dispel for all time any notion that the abortion movement's about privacy or choice or freedom.
And it should also tell you why they are so damned insistent that Medicaid, that's poor people medical care, Medicaid money be used for abortions.
Tell you why liberals reacted so strongly to my term feminazi.
My term feminazi hit way too close to home.
Hi, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh emitting vocal vibrations.
Happy to be back here at the distinguished Limbaugh Institute.
For advanced conservative studies, President Obama has turned to the deep south for the next Sturgeon General, a rural Alabama family physician who made headlines with fierce determination to rebuild her nonprofit medical clinic in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Regina Benjamin is the new Sturgeon General.
She's black.
She is an environmentalist wacko, and more importantly, she is a Katrina survivor.
She also does not believe doctors should make a profit.
What more could anyone possibly want in a surgeon general?
The only thing better was if she also believed in masturbation to stop pregnancy, as did what was her name, Joyce Lynne Elders, who also, by the way, loved Eric Klappner, the famous rock guitarist.
So there you have it.
Regina Benjamin, the new nominee for surgeon general, black environmentalist, Katrina survivor, doesn't believe doctors should make a profit.
All right, to the audio sound bites involving the hearings with Sonia Sotomayor.
This is very important, actually.
Lifetime appointment that will affect this nation for decades.
Soto Mayor will be involved in rulings that impact the next generation.
And I don't care about flash polls.
I don't care what Chuck Yu Schumer says.
What I care about is that Obama has nominated a radical who reflects his beliefs.
Remember the importance of these hearings.
Even like Lindsey Graham's out there saying, well, she's probably going to make it barring a meltdown.
Well, why do the hearings, Lindsay?
Look, there's politics here.
This woman will, if done right, and Republicans got off to a good start today.
If done right, these hearings could help inform the country about who Barack Obama is because this woman, Sonia Sotomayor, is a reflection.
She is a radical.
She reflects the beliefs of Barack Obama, including his own racial attitudes.
Conservatives and Republicans must not only expose her, but they have to vote against her.
This empathy business, empathy is another word for activism.
Sessions was great on that today.
The truth is that a judge who uses empathy to rule is not empathetic.
This is the interesting thing.
Empathy means that you're able to feel the circumstances of other persons.
Not sympathy.
You don't feel sorry for them.
You empathize.
You relate to them.
You understand the hard times they've had in their lives.
A judge who uses empathy to rule is not empathetic.
Sotomayor is abusing her position to punish someone because of their race, their income, which has nothing to do with justice.
This is perverse.
Empathy means understand who's been disadvantaged for whatever reasons, and then you go after them.
And you give them preference and weight.
It's an affirmative action judge.
Call it whatever you want.
Now, Democrats want to make this all about Sotomayor versus me.
We have a spot, a new ad run by a liberal Latino organization called Presente Acción.
They have a website called denunciarus.com.
Denunciarush.com.
And they're running these radio ads in Florida against John Micah and Adam Putnam.
Sonia Zotomayor, está punto de ser la primera latina y la primera puerto riqueña hacervir en la corte suprema de los estados unidos.
Es un momento dior cuyo para nuestra comunidad.
Sin embargo, los leaderas republicanos insisten enatacarla.
She doesn't have any intellectual depth.
She's an angry woman.
She's a bigot.
She's a racist.
Esofue el leader republicano, Roche limbo.
Diciendo que la juestoto mayor es racista y prejuiciada.
Esto y su un insurito a todos los Latinos y americanos.
Le preguntamos al congresista republicano John Mica si denunciaría las palabras de limbo sur respuesta si lincio.
Must have hit home on that one if they're running ads out there trying to denounce.
They've got a whole website called denunciarus.com because they call her a racista.
A racista and uh and a bigot.
And they're taking that.
And by the way, I sounded pretty good in that soundbite, don't you think?
I'm the only one in English in a whole bite.
You know, so but you, I mean, you get the drift here.
But the last line of this, we asked Republican Congressman John Micah if he would denounce Limbaugh's words as response to Lencio.
Silence.
So we from that, we were able to glean how Pat Depends, Leakey Depends Leahy, would open the hearings today.
Unfortunately, some has sought to twist her words and her record and to engage in partisan political attacks.
Ideological pressure groups began attacking her even before the president made his selection.
They then stepped up their attacks by threatening Republican senators who do not oppose her.
That's not the American way, and that should not be the Senate way.
I think we have a high responsibility to base any criticisms we have on a fair and honest statement of the facts, and that nominee should not be subjected to distortions of their records.
This is just absurd.
I mean, this is a guy that seeks to destroy every Republican nominee that comes up there.
It's not the American way.
It's not the Senate way.
Partisan political attacks.
Here's the woman who comes out and says a wise Latina would rule better than an average white guy.
Her ruling overturned the Ricci fireman ruling in Connecticut, New Haven, Connecticut.
Now, during the hearings, all these senators get their opening statements.
Soto Mayor still hasn't said a word.
He's sitting there beaming and not beaming when the Republicans are speaking, except for Lindsey Graham to.
And those bullhards are going through their opening statements and telling everybody how important they are.
They're creating soundbites for their reelection efforts.
Here's Russ Feingold.
Now, Cookie, who put the audio soundbites together, is convinced Feingold was talking about me, even though he doesn't mention my name.
I'm glad, however, that Judge Soto Mayor will finally have an opportunity to answer some of the unsubstantiated charges that have been made against her.
One attack that I find particularly shocking is the suggestion that she will be biased against some litigants because of her racial and ethnic heritage.
This charge is not based on anything in her judicial record because there's absolutely nothing in the hundreds of opinions she has written to support it.
That long record, which is obviously the most relevant evidence we have to evaluate her, demonstrates a cautious and careful approach to judging.
Instead, a few lines from a 2001 speech taken out of context have prompted some to charge that she's a racist.
Uh-huh.
She is.
She's racist and she's bigoted.
Look, if words still mean things, then she is.
Wise Latina would be far better to make judgments because of her rich background as a wise Latina than your average white guy, average white male.
Now, we may not want to face the hard realities of the definitions of words, but there's no other way to characterize what she's talking about.
Also, he says here that there's nothing in her judicial record to support this.
Well, what about being overturned all these times by the Supreme Court?
What about the Ricci case that was just overturned?
She didn't even delve into the constitutional issues of that case.
She simply decided against the white firefighters.
There's no question what the woman is.
She reflects the racial anger attitude that Obama has.
And they both have used that anger to advance themselves throughout their careers.
Next up, it was Dianne Feinstein from San Francisco.
And they had a little problem here in the middle of Feinstein.
Everything in your record to indicate that you...
The Senate, the Senate, the police will remove that man.
Let me make very clear.
There will be no outbursts allowed in this committee, either for or against the nominee, either for or against any position that Senator Sessions or I or any other senator will have.
This is a hearing of the United States Senate.
We will have order and we will have decorum.
Now, this bite is because the screaming starts and the gavel pounds and Leahy starts yelling.
You can't hear everything that the abortion protester said, but what he said was, stop the genocide of unborn Latinos.
He was a ponytail guy, looked Hispanic, I'm not, but I don't know.
But he was screaming, what about abortion?
Stop the genocide of unborn Latinos.
And that's when they jumped into gear and they got the guy out of their little fireworks early on.
Here's Jeff Sessions laying out what the hearing is all about.
Our legal system is at a dangerous crossroads.
Down one path is a traditional American system so admired around the world where judges impartially apply the law to the facts without regard to personal views.
This is the compassionate system because it's the fair system.
In the American legal system, courts do not make law or set policy because allowing unelected officials to make law would strike at the heart of our democracy.
Down the other path lies a brave new world where words have no true meaning and judges are free to decide what facts they choose to see.
In this world, a judge is free to push his or her own political or social agenda.
I reject that view and Americans reject that view.
That's Jeff Sessions, the Republican leader on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He was good and all that followed, they're pretty unified on all this.
Before we go to the break, he was so good, state-run media had to rebut Sessions.
And what we have here, this is Matthews.
Chrissy.
Here's Matthews talking with Richard Wolf of Newsweek.
This fight between Republicans and Democrats today across the board, you're saying, oh, wise one.
It's not just about Soto Mayor.
This is a proxy battle about President Obama.
Does he represent core American values?
Can you trust his word?
Is he in league with some foreign power?
This is code word for stuff that we all know circulates on the extreme of the conservative movement.
Somehow a world government's going to come into Nebraska or in Idaho and take away your guns and then take you away or take away your private property for a shopping mall.
I think that happened not in Nebraska.
It happened in New London, Connecticut, did it not?
A liberal enclave, did it not?
Did not the Supreme Court take away someone's home to build a shopping mall that has not been built?
Why would people be worried it could happen to them if it's already happened in New London, Connecticut?
Why would people be worried about that?
Is that paranoia?
Is that extremism?
All right, quick timeout.
We're coming back.
We've got more.
Stay with us.
Unbelievable.
By the way, I apparently said Quarterlina, Iowa as one of the places.
And I'm getting emails from people.
Folks, misspoke.
When I said Quarterline, Iowa, did you really think I'm that stupid?
It was just a verbal dyslexic slip of the tongue.
I know that Quarterlines in Idaho.
I was not trying to insult either Idaho or Iowa.
I've been really brilliant today, and I'm getting, it's Idaho, not Iowa.
And then, right here in the middle of break, Snerdley says, you're the only guy, you're the only guy in the country and go on a vacation five days, five different places, and lose weight.
You want to know how it happened?
You want to know how it happened?
This is my experience in diets.
Now, I'm not going to speak for anybody else, but I've been on a diet since March 9th, since March 9th, and I've not cheated on this diet once, or had not up until a golf trip.
Now, once you're on a diet that long, your body then slips into, mine does, into a fat-burning metabolism.
One of the things that happens with people after they're on a long diet, that they go back to eating the way they did, they don't gain weight immediately.
Sometimes it takes a couple weeks and they think, aha, I can eat again.
And then all of a sudden it catches up when you start putting it back on.
Now, we're very, I mean, I don't know, in any of these days, we had lunch.
And I stayed on the diet.
Whenever there was lunch and breakfast, I stayed on that.
I stayed on it for the most part until the last day.
When I what did I do on the last day?
I forget what about it, but I've stayed on it for most of the time.
I'm motivated.
I'm inspired.
And, you know, we ate dinner every night in cottages.
We weren't out at restaurants and doing all that.
You come in and we just relived the golf day.
And some of the guys had some wine.
We're sitting there just talking about what all had happened.
And they'd bring in some grilled chicken, some grilled fish, some grilled salmon.
Some people had some steaks, some vegetables.
It's all what you order.
And it was, that was, it was easy.
By the way, we have crashed, ladies and gentlemen, we have crashed denunciaush.com.
They are at the moment finito.
Denuncia rush has been crashed.
So Russ Feingold, a couple of words that Sonia Sotomayor said taken out of context.
You mean like maca?
George Allen saying macaca.
We heard about that for weeks and months.
As the Washington Post said, the Democrats sought to destroy Allen.
He'd been a congressman, a governor, and a senator.
Sotomayor's comments are much worse than maca.
And they're frequent and they are long held.
You see how this race thing works, folks?
If you were liberal, nothing you say can be held against you.
And then Richard Wolfe, the British guy, and the last soundbite, oh, yes, they're going to take your private property in Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, and everybody's helping them all.
Well, this is a guy that has written a kiss-up book on Obama is a failure.
Renegade's a book.
It's number 227 on Amazon.
Nobody's buying Richard Wolfe's book and nobody's reading it.
What do you think the G8, cap and trade, and all the rest is about, Richard, you dunce?
It's about the transference of wealth.
It's about the redistribution of wealth.
It is about the expansion of government and the loss of individual liberty.
What do you think Kyoto and its successors are all about?
You know, these libs make no sense.
They talk about being global citizens and the sophisticated and urbane.
And when you call them on it, then they call you a nut.
Richard Wolfe, yeah, that's Richard Wolfe, who wrote the Obama book, Renegade number 217 on Amazon.
I don't know what it is in Quarterly, in Iowa.
217.
I don't know what it is in Quarterly, Idaho.
It was just a slip of the tongue.
Coming up, Colin Powell.
This is last Sunday when I was already off the golf trip.
But we told you we had the preview of what he was going to say because CNN was using it to promote their Sunday show, State of the Union.
And he chimed in on me and called me a non-elected official as a problem for the Republican Party and so forth.
So lots coming up.
Brief time out here.
Your phone calls early in the next hour.
Keep holding on if you're there.
I promise, do not go away.
President Obama, I'm sure, feeling the heat out there, saying the economic stimulus is working as intended.
The thing is, he's telling the truth.
It is working as intended.
It is to drive up unemployment.
It is to push health care.
You lose your job, you lose your health care.
People scared to death of losing their health care.
And then he says it wasn't supposed to work right away.
Really?
Unemployment was supposed to peak at 9% when we did this.
