Time Text
Hey, uh, Ed.
Grab uh audio soundbite number two again.
Uh, and then we'll go two, three, and four, and five.
Hell just to go in order.
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
Great to have you here as we have more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, as I do that which I was born to do.
Telephone number 800 282-2882.
Obama keeps saying that he is uh is pushing government run health care, which he mischaracterizes as reform for the people, but the people do not want what he is pushing.
Which is why I'm gonna replay a soundbite here from Robert Gibbs in just a second.
Every poll shows the American people do not want what he's pushing.
It's a good thing he doesn't have to sell anything to get what he wants.
He can send his press secretary out there to say I fan the flames here to sell advertising.
Every dollar spent in advertising on this program is freely given by the people who spend it.
I don't have the power to take one person's pet money, not a penny from anybody.
He does, and he's doing it.
He's taking money out of the pockets of us, our children, our grandchildren, and kids that have not even been born yet.
He has taken money out of their pockets.
This underscores what is going on here.
Obama is pushing his own agenda.
It's not an agenda in line with what the nation wants.
He doesn't care what the nation wants, nor do liberals in general care.
They're going to do what they want to do however they can do it, whether you want it or not.
And now Obama's trying to use brute political force to get it, dumping on the CBO, trashing insurance companies and doctors, and pressuring all these members of his own party.
Let's not forget, you know, they can they can sit out there and say I'm fanning the flames all they want.
I'm not the guy that hates doctors.
I'm not the guy that impugned doctors in a primetime press conference, claiming they do tonselectomies unnecessarily just to line their pockets.
I'm not the guy who said, I don't like insurance company profits.
They're too big, I'm gonna squeeze them.
He said that Wednesday night.
You know, we're we're we're forgetting uh, I think what the most important aspect of that press conference was his attack on the health care system as it exists, and it's all got it all got shoved aside because of the Gates question and answer at the end of the press conference.
But to illustrate the brute force of this man, no poll shows that anybody wants any more stimulus.
No poll shows that a majority of the American people want his health care plan.
It doesn't matter.
How's that hope and change working out for you?
How's all that reform working out for you?
By the way, from the Washington Prowler at the American Spectator.
It was not out of a need for racial healing that Obama reached out to his old buddy Skip Gates and the uh sergeant James Crowley.
A White House source told the American spectator, we were looking at house hearings on this matter, moving fairly quickly, and that wasn't gonna be good for us or for Gates.
We needed this thing to go away fast.
Early Friday, the White House got wind.
Representative Adolphus Towns was uh interested in holding hearings into the matter of Gates arrest, and more broadly, Towns was looking into the issue of racial profiling by law enforcement.
Uh Adolphus Towns, the chairman of the House Oversight Government Reform Committee, as well as the senior House Democrat member of the Congressional Black Caucus, adding to the desire to get the story buried was the media's seeming refusal to let it go.
By noon Friday, Robert Gibbs, along with the other senior White House officials, recommended that Obama either walk back his statement further than he did on Thursday or take proactive action.
So it wasn't out of racial healing.
It wasn't out of any desire to they didn't they did not want Democrat hearings on racial profiling.
They didn't want towns going to town.
It wouldn't help Gates, it wouldn't help Obama.
Uh, didn't want Congress getting sidetracked and putting on a national show on this sort of thing.
They want to they they want to move the issue of race along in a little bit more stealthy way.
Now I want to go back to this soundbite from from Gibbs.
This is uh Friday night on MSNBC to fill in host.
Rush Limbaugh says it's all about Fne the Gates uh episode, all about ethnic politics.
He said the same pretty much about Judge Sotomayor and the white firefighters, who even compared the president to the prosecutor and Duke rape case.
Barack Nifong.
And he said the president was playing the race card.
How do you respond to somebody with a bullhorn who's trying to stoke racial fears and resentment?
The president wants to have constructive dialogue with people that clearly want to have constructive dialogue on issues that are as important as race.
Whether or not Rush Limbaugh wants to be part of a constructive dialogue or whether he wants to get ratings to sell commercials on a radio show, I'll let him answer that question.
Rush is paid a lot of money to fan the flames uh again, so he can sell advertising on his radio show.
I don't think that's what it's always stopped.
It always comes down, you read you're right.
My money.
Money, money.
It always comes down that and rage.
The Moyers, here's Gibbs.
I didn't start anything.
They did.
And just as I'm as I want to reiterate here, every dollar spent on advertising in this show is freely given.
It none of it is coerced.
The president of the United States cannot say that.
The president of the United States, in order to fund what he wants to do, has to take money from every one of us.
And it was the president of the United States who fanned the flames.
He's he lit the match, and he fanned the flames.
So when this White House gets in trouble, lash out at Rush Limbaugh.
Go to go to soundbite number uh five right now.
This is um also Friday night on MSNBC.
The same fill-in host, Richard Wolfe, is interviewing the sociology professor from Georgetown, Michael Eric Dyson, one of your favorites, Snerdley.
And Richard Wolf says the president by his own admission helped to ratchet up this matter, and he clearly wants to tone things down and elevate the discussion.
Did he do enough today to move that in the right direction?
And we now know that elevating the discussion and uh toning things down had only to do with the fact that they were scared of a Dolphus Towns committee doing hearings into this.
They weren't they weren't trying to soothe racial tensions, or it was all politics.
It's always all politics with everything this bunch does.
Now, here's here's the answer to that question from Michael Eric Dyson.
Did uh Obama do enough today to move in the right direction?
Rush Limbaugh has perverted the nature of the conversation.
To call Barack Obama an angry black man is as ridiculous as calling Rush Limbaugh a first-class intellectual.
So the reality is that uh President Obama with equanimity and poise articulated his viewpoint, talked about the competing forces that uh made this situation untenable, and then tried to resolve it by acknowledging that perhaps uh tempers flared on both sides, but not denying the legitimacy of the point that must not be lost here in all of the discourse.
The president is committed to using his bully pulpit to inform to enlighten and to elevate the conversation beyond the trashy character that Rush Limbaugh is addicted to.
Ah, bullseye last Friday, bullseye, bullseye.
That just it's uh no that but well, you know, it's the not just the Barack Nifong line, but and they're finally hearing me once he's an angry blank.
I I I do believe that about the president.
I do believe he's angry.
I used to I think I think his wife is angry.
Well, all liberals are enraged all the time anyway.
They're always mad, but I I I think uh how if he's not mad, if he's not angry, why does he run around apologizing for the country all over the place?
There's something going on here, and it certainly isn't a love and devotion to the whole concept of American exceptionalism, is it?
Yeah, Barack Nifong.
First class intellectuals like us, and says that trashy Rush Limbaugh first-class intellectuals like us.
Right on.
Lord, thank you for my enemies.
Grab soundbite 20.
Grab audio soundbite number 20 this morning in Washington.
Washing.
Oh, whoa, wait, wait.
Uh just a sec, folks, before we play the soundbite, get this.
From Port St. Lucy.
From Port have you do you know the story?
Headline says it all.
Weight watchers demonstrator accused of shoplifting cupcakes at Port St. Lucy publics.
A woman involved in a Weight Watcher's demo at a Publix was arrested after shoplifting cupcakes.
And other according to a police report obtained Friday, uh, a loss prevention official.
Have you ever heard of that job title before?
A loss prevention official.
Security guard.
It's like window washers are no longer window washers, vision control coordinators.
A loss prevention official told police that Kelly Barber, 47, was in the store conducting a demo for Weight Watchers.
The loss prevention official said she saw Barber conceal store items in a blue bin and leave the store without paying for the goods, which included Weight Watchers' cupcakes, a book, and teeth whitening strips.
When uh questioned, uh the woman said she just wanted to whiten her teeth and uh started, it was stated it was stupid, she stole the items, she'd never done this before.
Uh she did not have an explanation for the cupcakes.
Just the anyway, she faces a retail theft charge.
I just I love the news that comes out of this little town.
Wait, what?
Well, that's no, there's no mention of a 9-1-1 call here.
I I don't think the loss prevention official called 9-1-1.
That only happens when McDonald's is out of McNuggets.
All right.
Audio soundbite number 20.
This morning at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, the International Trade Center, Obama addressed the uh inaugural U.S. ChICOM strategic and economic dialogue.
And here's a portion of his remarks.
No one nation can meet the challenges of the 21st century on its own, nor effectively advance its interests in isolation.
It is this fundamental truth that compels us to cooperate.
Let us be honest.
We know that some are wary of the future.
Some in China think that America will try to contain China's ambitions.
Some in America think that there is something to fear in a rising China.
I take a different view.
I believe in a future where China is a strong, prosperous, and successful member of the community of nations.
A future when our nations are partners out of necessity, but also out of opportunity.
Now, let me explain to you what's going on here.
The President of the United States wants China to become a superpower.
He does not want the United States to be the sole superpower in the world.
But there's something else going on here too, folks.
And it is this.
The Chai Coms own our debt.
And the Chai Coms are not happy with what's happening to their investment.
If you were an investor in the American government, in the United States government, and you're a communist, and your whole party is communist, and you see what one of your brothers is doing to your investment, you'd be steamed, too.
And they want, the Chai Coms want answers.
That's what all these dialogues are about.
U.S. and China, partners in what?
Communism?
What does he want to be partners with them in?
But but you know, they're asking Geithner all these questions.
Geitner's promise, no, we're gonna get our deficits down.
I told you first hour that means they're gonna raise taxes.
Uh but if you were if you if you were a huge investor in our debt, and you saw that what you'd be steamed as well.
And you would want answers, and you wouldn't like what is being done to the engine that is going To be responsible for making your debt whole, making your debt good.
So that's I'll tell you, it it's it's just every day.
It's five or six things that this white house is doing, and for the most part, they're stumbling now.
And this Eric Dyson guy.
And Gibbs.
These guys, oh, we if we want to have a constructive dialogue, and if Rush Limbaugh wants to be part of that, well, we'd welcome constructive dialogue.
Who was the first to offer a compromise stimulus proposal?
Me.
Wall Street Journal op ed.
I published that offer in the Wall Street Journal.
As for ratings and profit, I'll take my ratings over Obama's any day of the week, folks.
Mine are way up, his or way down.
As for profit, I don't need lectures from people who've never created a real job or held a real job, but who are in fact destroying jobs in record numbers.
I don't need to be lectured by people who are tearing apart the U.S. economy.
Profits beat bankruptcy.
Profits propel jobs.
Profits beats your philosophy of socialism, Gibbs.
We gotta take a break.
Sit tight.
We're coming right back.
Your phone calls are straight ahead.
I just noticed on the next page of the audio sound bites that there was more from uh Michael Eric Dyson.
So I'll tell you what, let's grab number five.
We'll play these two back to back so that they uh they are in uh context.
Michael Eric Dyson uh asked on MSNBC Friday night if Obama had done enough to move in the right direction toward racial healing.
Rush Lumbaugh has perverted the nature of the conversation.
To call Barack Obama an angry black man is as ridiculous as calling Rush Lumba a first-class intellectual.
So the reality is that uh President Obama with equanimity and poise articulated his viewpoint, talked about the competing forces that uh made this situation untenable, and then tried to resolve it by acknowledging that perhaps uh tempers flared on both sides, but not denying the legitimacy of the point that must not be lost here in all of the discourse.
The president is committed to using his bully pulpit to inform to enlighten and to elevate the conversation beyond the trashy character that Rush Limbaugh is addicted to.
Did he write his answer?
Sounds like he's reading a written answer.
I know, I know it's a speech pattern.
I'm just uh but the first class first class intellectual, exactly right.
Uh Obama was not using the bully pulpit to inform to enlighten and elevate the conversation, trying to shut it down.
He was trying to stop the conversation, Michael.
He's trying to stop it because one of his buddies in the house was gonna start having hearings on it, and that wasn't gonna help anybody.
So then the next question will uh Rush Limbaugh did say that Obama played the race card.
He said, Here you have a black president trying to destroy a white policeman.
So how do Republicans win black African American voters, even suburban independent voters when this is the kind of debate they're listening to?
Rush Limbaugh does not play to the better angels of their nature.
Rush Limbaugh, his entire modus operandi is to deconstruct the the sheen of genius and of incredible popularity around this president.
The Republicans must be willing to be self-critical.
Uh, we've heard of driving while black now, housing while black, being housed while black, is that a sin as well?
What is he talking?
What is that?
Well, I don't understand that.
Driving while black?
Oh, do you say they've profiled it?
That's the aura of genius.
That he for first I guess it is first-class intellectualism.
If nobody can understand what it means, then it sure as hell is first class intellectualism.
Um if Obama was not trying to harm this cop, what was he doing?
You think Obama would have said a word about this if the cop had been black.
Do you?
You think there would have even been a question at the press conference, asked if the cop had been black.
as it turns out there were three cops there, and one of them was black and the other one was Hispanic.
The white guy was outnumbered.
I know the white, that's right.
No, the the woman that called in, the woman that called in did not identify the race of the guys that she thought were breaking into Gates' house.
So I s the only people that yeah, I mean, Gates and Obama were the ones that uh went after the cop.
They're the ones that first injected race into this.
The cop didn't.
The 911 caller didn't.
But somehow now it's it's old Rush, fan in the flames here, uh tearing at the better uh angels of our nature.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Back to the phones now, and Cincinnati, Rosie, hi, great to have you with us.
Hey Rush, how are you?
Just fine, thank you.
Good, good.
Hey, I'm gonna try to keep this cohesive.
I'm I'm a little bit upset.
I just got off the phone earlier with the AARP.
And I called to express my concerns about their support of Obamacare.
The response I got was there are only a couple of ideas with which they agree, or was or or that they would condone.
Um I said, Well, how do you expect those ideas to remain if we're under government control?
You know, do you trust them to do what they say they're gonna do?
And their response was, well, you know, there are a lot of myths about this going on, and you really have to pay attention to which news outlets are giving you correct information.
And I said, Well, first of all, I can I can discern for myself uh what this means, but are you telling me that you know you think the government is gonna do what it says it's gonna do?
And she said, Well, this is not socialized health care.
And well, wait a minute.
She denied a charge that you hadn't yet made.
Exactly.
So obviously uh they're very defensive about this at the AAR because they're the the AARP, if they go along with this, is selling every member down the river.
Exactly.
And she she was very clear.
She said, Look, this is not socialized medicine, she said, because people would have the option of keeping their private insurance.
She's just ignorant.
That's not true.
It's been pr it it's it's that that's constructive dialogue, the president's lying.
Well, I understand.
And if you know, whatever counterpoint that I gave her, she would feverishly type on the other end, and obviously a script would come up because it was certainly sounded as if she was reading is that right?
Yeah.
And you know, I said, Well, you know, this doesn't make any sense.
How would you expect businesses to remain competitive?
Um, you know, she they just really didn't have any good answers other than we only um there are only a couple parts of this with which we agree.
Um you know, business one-on-one, it it it upsets me that no one really protects those that they ostensibly lobby for.
And no one seems to do due diligence, and obviously someone's gotten to the head of AARP.
Oh.
And no one completes a thought.
It doesn't make any sense, Rush.
Yes, it does.
You're just looking at it with the wrong context.
You're looking at it with the with the wrong premise.
It makes total sense when you understand that the AARP is no different than the National Association of Gals.
No different from the NAALCP, no different from people for the ethical treatment of animals.
What do they all have in common?
They're liberals.
They love big government.
And they are totally snowed by Obama, and they've got a lot of skin in the game with money that's going to get kicked back to them from stimulus plans and the health care plan and so forth.
So, you know, th this this health care plan's all about Obama taking care of his buddies in the unions and sort of just like the stimulus was.
So you you're expecting them, I mean you have a lot of respect for the AARP, I guess.
You're expecting them to be intellectually honest, they analyze the plan and stand up for the people that are members of the AARP.
That's not what they're about.
They're about they're about advancing a big government agenda.
Can I tell you what was most telling?
Sure.
Uh at the end it was uh you know, she contradicted herself because I gave her the the example of look, if you got two businesses uh on the same street.
You got a pizza maker here whose bottom line is he makes three bucks a pizza.
And, you know, another guy makes four bucks a pizza.
And the difference between the bottom line there is that one keeps his private insurance for his employee and the other doesn't.
So who d to remain competitive, you know, why not dump that private insurance and get on the bandwagon?
And she said, Well, you know, people do go to jobs for insurance, so why would the company with private insurance dump it for the government insurance.
Well, I have I I have to know what you said to that.
Well, I said thank you for your time.
Clearly she's an idiot.
Oh, I said, Well, obviously, she's an idiot.
I mean, I I was I was being restrained, you know.
Uh trying to keep the dialogue constructive.
Oh my goodness.
Uh cle clearly you were talking to a phone idiot.
You you were talking to somebody the purpose of which is to tell you that you're the idiot.
That you don't know what you're talking about.
That that was her job.
That's why she's typing up your questions and bam on her computer screen pops the answer.
Uh it's kind of the way Michael Eric Dyson, first class intellectualism on television shows.
He's got these answers programmed into his mind and he gets a triggered uh by a key word and a question and pam, runs with it.
But the reason that businesses will get rid of their private insurance is to offload the cost.
Exactly.
So that their bottom line will go.
That's that's that's one of the uh selling points Obama knows he's got.
That's why that's why your private insurance is gonna go on the down the drain and why you won't be able to keep the plan that you have.
I mean, look at there's been an independent analysis here.
The Heritage Foundation has done it.
They had they had the uh outfit I think called the Lewin Group.
Eighty-three million Americans will lose their own private insurance plans.
Eighty-three million will be lopped off and uh and have to go to the public option.
Uh Rosie, I appreciate the call.
Thanks much.
Deborah in Pensacola, Florida.
Hi.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
I just wanted to say one thing.
I saw you on TV the other night with Greta, and my husband and I are very thankful that you have lost so much weight because we need you.
Thank you very much.
You are a necessary part of our nation.
You know what I lost six pounds over the weekend.
You look great.
I mean, you're very handsome, you look great, we're really happy for you.
My husband listened to you on Greta the other night.
I recorded the program.
He's a very bright man, board certified in two specialties of medicine.
He's an associate professor at FSU Medical School.
We live in Pensacola, he teaches students, blah, blah, blah.
So you get the idea.
He was listening to you and we listened to the whole show, both of them.
And my husband said to me, he goes, you know, he goes, Obama is a very good speaker.
He's eloquent.
He goes, but Rush is much more eloquent because he is able to get down to the people in terms that they understand without doing this rhetoric that he constantly does with his fancy language and his, you know, chip on his shoulder and the way he struts his information.
You are so intelligent.
You are much more intelligent than he is, and they are afraid of you.
They're afraid of you and Sarah Palin, they're afraid of Sean, and they are afraid of Glenn Beck.
You guys are just the best, and we need you.
Well badly.
They're also afraid of Levin.
He's got a million copies of his book.
Oh yeah.
I'm sorry, I didn't need to skip over.
Well, you get if you gotta you gotta you gotta include uh Mark Levin in the in the roster.
I just want to I thank you very much because you're very bright to have spotted my intelligence.
Uh uh in light of it being under assault today uh by first class intellectual Michael Eric Dyson, whatever his name is.
But I want to just correct one thing.
Take it as a compliment.
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Take that as a very big thing.
Well, I do.
I do.
That's why I th I thanked God earlier for my enemies.
But but I I I wanted to say too, you you you said or your husband said that I was able to get down uh the American people and speak in a way that you communicate.
Yes.
Yeah, but I'm I am one of them.
I'm not up.
You know, I I'm I'm not an elitist.
I I I don't I don't uh I don't have that kind of attitude or carriage.
You know, the reason the reason that I'm the reason I'm able to speak the truth to people is because I'm one of them.
That's right.
But you know how many people have been one of them, and then all of a sudden they, you know, make a a good living for themselves and all of a sudden they are above it all, they're above the fray.
You're not like that.
You know where you you know, you know who you are, and you realize that you're just one of the people in this country that's trying to um you know make a good living and be a good person.
That's that's what it's all about.
Thank you.
Well, like I said on that in the second half of the show, uh Friday night I said this.
She asked me, how do you have you been around for 21 years at the level?
And the reason that I you know I I've never forget, and it's constantly in my mind, who it is that's made me successful.
It's all of you.
You know, the the You know, I don't I don't know.
You this this show every day, the expectation uh I mean the the desire I have is to meet and surpass everybody's expectations.
And it and those are those are pretty high expectations.
People know this is the number one rated radio talk show in the country, and they they expect it to continue to be that.
I if I started phoning it in, uh I I would lose my self-respect.
Uh but all of this stuff matters deeply to me too, as it does to uh absolutely a lot of people.
Well, you're very kind and very nice.
I really And we all love you.
I mean, there is really true love and respect for you.
That's that's the point that we want to make.
And when my husband says something, because he's not really, you know, um a television person, he doesn't like to watch the news that much because it bothers him because every day his job is affected by it, treating these little twenty-two-week babies.
You know, those are the babies that Obama throws in the garbage.
I mean, I hate to mention it on TV, but those are the ones that mum my husband saves the babies that Obama says, you know, you can abort.
Yeah.
Really, you know, you're not you're not uh elevating the dialogue here with uh that.
I mean Michael Eric Dyson's gonna be on your case.
Uh that would be sorry about that.
MSNBC will be on your case.
I'm flattered.
Well, Deborah, t thank you and and thank your husband for me too, okay?
I will.
Thank you very much for speaking with me, Roger.
My pleasure.
Have a nice day.
Okay.
You do the same.
Barney Frank today made a speech to National Press Club.
I have uh a total of five sunbites.
I just want to play two of them for you right now.
Here is the first.
Hello, Subbite 26.
Is it ready to go to the U.S.?
Well, if you do that, I can't make any money.
The answer is that's not our job.
We're not here to help you make money.
Okay, stop stop, stop, stop it.
Stop stop it and get it back to the beginning here.
Uh uh.
Two sound bites.
The answer is that's not our job.
We're not here to help you make money.
We are here to help have a system in which you will make money as an incident of your providing funds to those who will use it productively.
Did do you people get this?
I'll tell you what he just said.
He says he's got people coming up to him and complaining.
Well, if you do that, meaning this law, that piece of legislation, that tax, I can't make any money.
And Barney says the answer is that's not our job.
We're not here to help you make money.
We are here to help have a system in which you will make money as an incident of your providing funds to those who use it productively.
Whatever.
I mean what the these they this I told you last Friday what the one of the side benefits, and I don't know, I'm gonna give it a whole lot of weight here.
These people, when they have what they think is unchecked power, they will most of them start being very, very honest about who they are and what they want to do, and this is a teachable moment.
By the way, the president, I accused the president of stealing that phrase from me.
He used that phrase teachable moment when he went into the press conference on Friday afternoon, showed up as a surprise to say he's invited these guys to the White House to have a beer and threw gates under the bus or yeah, gates under the bus.
So here's Barney Frank.
I...
In his district, every business probably has heard this from Barney Frank for years, and they still vote for him.
It's not our job to help you make money.
We're not here to help you make money.
We are here to help have a system in which you will make money as an incident of your providing funds to those who use it productively.
What is you can you can interpret this two ways.
He's either talking about taxes or paying people who use the money that you pay them productively at work for you.
But I don't think it's the latter.
I think he looks at business.
You are there to provide funds, taxes, to people in Washington to use it productively.
That's the purpose of a business.
I guarantee you that's what that's the way Obama looks at it.
He looks at the whole private sector as revenue generation.
Except he takes it.
Now, here's the next soundbite from uh Barney Frank.
Let me go back to my youth and to the days when radio had a function other than the spewing of venom.
Um, and when fiction on the radio was labeled as fiction, and uh there were people who uh in the finance community want some of the older people here will catch the weapons, they want to revert the turn.
They want to return to the thrilling days of yesteryear.
And let me make one amendment.
They want to return to the thrilling days of yesteryear when the lone arrangers will write again.
And in this view, the lone arrangers will be accompanied by their faithful and submissive companion, government.
And that's not going to happen.
So now he's he's threatening the financial system.
You know, your glory days are over, man.
You ain't gonna happen.
Government is not gonna be a submissive companion.
We are going to be the fist.
And the shackles around your neck.
All right, here's George in South Windsor, Connecticut.
Hi, George, welcome to the EIB network.
Yeah, Russ, I'm so glad you just mentioned unchecked power.
I am so frustrated and aggravated, not surprised over this Gates situation, because all you have to do is listen to Obama's words.
He said in the press conference, I don't know all the facts.
And then the next words out of his mouth are, but the Cambridge police acted stupidly.
There is no other way to interpret that other than I don't know what the hell happened, but the cops were wrong.
And and that is just in his words, his own words.
He is admitting.
Alex prejudice.
Prejudice bias.
How can you not?
And then all these mouthpieces are out there for Obama trying to spin this.
And it's absolutely ridiculous.
And the dirty little secret is this cop's got a recording.
As soon as they haven't played it yet, but as soon as it was going badly, he pressed a button, he's got a record conversation.
And let me tell you what, that must be very incriminating.
And that's why, to your point, Obama's throwing gates under the bus.
He wants to have a beer, he wants to make this all go away with all his mouthpieces.
And I how how can you misinterpret his words?
There's unchecked power.
This is an example of unchecked power in the media.
This guy can do whatever he wants.
And you know, if I could say, can I give make one other comment?
Yeah, quickly.
I think you're speeding up recording is innovative.
I love the way you have sped up all these Democrats.
It shows how desperate they are.
And it's just an innovative way to do nobody else on radio does what you do, and that's an example of.
Well, thank you.
Thank you uh very much.
Uh you're very kind.
I I I appreciate that.
By the way, time is limited here.
I w uh, but I do want to play a soundbite for you.
On Fox News Sunday yesterday, uh, Brett Baer asked Robert Gibbs, before Wednesday's news conference, did you prepare the president for a question about the the Gates arrest?
Safe to say we went over uh uh a whole lot of topics that we thought might come up, and uh certainly uh this was a topic that was and has been in the news.
So they planned for it.
They planned, I'm not saying it was a setup to go to Lynn Swift.
What I'm saying is they planned for it and he still blew it.
Well, he didn't think he was blowing it.
He thought he was Obama thought what all guys like him think.
He thought he was gonna nail this cop, he's gonna get it done.
Nobody could stop it because he's got the power of the presidency.
But then he goes out there and says, I don't know all the facts.
Even prepping it, he still blew it.
We have to admit, and they admit, by course of action they've taken that he blew it.
We'll be back.
Don't go away, folks.
We have to take a break, uh, folks, uh from uh elevating a dialogue and and recalibrating our remarks.
