Time Text
And check these two headlines here.
Los Angeles Times.
Actually, we got four headlines.
In fact, I'll get the headlines after I tell you.
It's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
And we are going to get the phone calls.
I promise you.
The news continues to break out there.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, LRushboatEIPNet.com.
And there are other things happening.
For example, from the Politico today, fresh from a humbling loss in last year's presidential election, John McCain is working behind the scenes to reshape the Republican Party in his own center-right image.
No!
No!
But it's true.
McCain is trying to remake the Republic.
He's already done that, which is why the Republican Party is losing big time.
This is horrible, folks.
If people get wind of this, and of course you have because I just told you, this is going to accelerate the third party movement.
People are going to want no part.
But why would the loser?
This is like John Kerry remake the Democrat Party or Michael Dukakis.
Anyway, it's happening out there.
Here are these headlines.
Los Angeles Times, Chicago's swift elimination at 2016 Olympics host is political blow to Obama.
F. Chuck Todd must not have written that story from Fox News.
Obama's fail in personal pitch.
The Daily Mail, UK, humiliation for Obama as Chicago is eliminated in first round of voting.
I wonder what David Brooks thinks.
Obama is Brooks' guy.
For the UK Times Online, Obama's Olympic failure will only add to doubts about his presidency.
Well, look at the word here.
In the Fox News headline, Obama fails and humiliation for Obama and the word failure here at the UK Times Online.
For those of you on the other side of the aisle listening in who are upset that I sound gleeful, I am.
I don't deny it.
I'm happy.
Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me.
I stand by, you know, I don't want Obamacare to succeed.
I want national health care, socialized medicine, to fail.
I want cap and trade, a national carbon tax emissions policy based on a hoax.
I want that to fail.
I do not want the government owning car companies.
I don't want the government running banks.
I don't want the government in charge of loans.
I don't want any of that.
I want all of that to fail.
And for those things to fail, I'm sorry to say, our president must fail because they're his ideas.
It is the ideas I want to fail, but the architect of those ideals must, by the same sense of logic, also fail at the same time as the ideas do.
So anything that weakens and helps people to see the real Obama, it's a step forward.
Got to say it.
Not going to sit here.
You know me, I'm not politically correct.
The Reverend Jackson is dismayed.
He was on the Fox Business Network.
What's your reaction to this?
Reverend Docs.
I would like to know what happened because there's always underlying politics in these decisions.
But I'm shocked and sad, and I really anticipated we would win.
We sent our A-team.
President, First Lady, made such a great presentation.
The mayor, the governor, Oprah went to Olympic, Olympians.
They sent the A-team.
See, this is their problem.
The A-triam, A-team is all for three.
The president, First Lady, they did not make a great presentation.
It was all about them, Reverend Jack.
Aside from the media in this country and some cult-like followers in this country, the people don't care.
This personal cult-like investment in the Obamas.
People aren't going to award an Olympic City just because a couple of Obamas show up and ask for it based on sad, gut-wrenching personal stories.
Then the reporter said to the Reverend Doc, there was about a 50-50 split in terms of people's support for the city, one of the lowest.
Do you think it had a role?
I mean, clearly, members of the African-American community of Chicago were concerned about it, their neighborhoods potentially being exploited.
But we're not just African-American.
That's not fair.
I mean, this is all of Chicago involvement.
There is concern about displacement, about costs, which came from all sides of town, the tax in Berlin, but also the opportunity to come with that.
I'm concerned, of course, that we were committing ourselves to provide security for the host's children who right now are in Jeff.
But that should not have been the factor, the deal breaker, in the Olympics of Chicago.
I just don't understand it yet.
I don't understand it.
So there's going to be an investigation.
Well, I didn't understand half of what he said either, but I have the transcript.
You want me to read what he said?
Is it man?
Well, okay.
He said, it's not just African-American.
That's not fair.
This is all the Chicagoans involved.
There's concern about displacement, meaning Valerie Jarrett's slums would be torn down and people kicked out.
There's concern about costs, which came from all sides of town, the tax burden, opportunities that come from that, the opportunities that come from the tax burden.
And we were committing ourselves to provide homes for children right now.
Oh, is that what this was about?
Homes for children?
That's what the Olympic bid was about.
Anyway, that shouldn't have been the main factor.
Deal breaker in Chicago.
I just don't understand it.
Last night on ABC's Jeopardy, the host, Alec Trebeck, and an unidentified contestant had this exchange.
In 2009, this controversial radio host called Colin part of the stale, worn-out GOP that never won anything.
Andy, who's Limbaugh?
Rush Limbaugh, yes.
Jeopardy question last night on ABC.
All right, let's go to David Letterman.
Oh.
Where is that story?
You know, folks, this is a day where, as I have said, the fraud and corruption that is the U.S. media is on display real time.
It is visible, viewable, detectable, real time.
Now, we all know what happened last night at Letterman.
AP.
AP is a television writer named Lynn Elber headline, Letterman creates brilliant hour of TV from Woes.
It was business as usual for David Letterman, the CBS late show.
The band played the host, Dapper as always in a well-tailored suit, recited his monologue, some jokes hit, some missed.
Then Letterman proceeded to take viewers and television on an extraordinary journey that was part confessional, part entertainment, and wholly, if jarringly, hypnotic.
The medium has come close to moments like this before.
Hugh Grant's prostitute maya culpa on tonight is the familiar example of recent years, but never achieved the merger of farce and drama that Letterman finesse.
So here is AP illustrating the entire corruption, the social moral corruption that is the U.S. media, saying that last night's Letterman show is only paralleled in its greatness when Hugh Grant went on the tonight show and admitted that he had paid and bought a prostitute and put her in his car in Hollywood.
Great television.
So we've done something.
Here's Letterman admitting the affair and the audience laughing.
The creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show.
Now, my response to that is, yes, I have.
I have had sex with women who work on this show.
And would it be embarrassing if it were made public?
Perhaps it would.
Perhaps it would.
Especially for the women.
But that's a decision for them to make if they want to come public and talk about the relationships, if I want to go public and talk about the relationships.
But what you don't want is a guy saying, oh, I know you had sex with women, so I would like $2 million or I'm going to make trouble for you.
So that's where we stand right now.
So he was being extorted, so he went out there and told a story, and the audience laughed about it.
I, ladies and gentlemen, wanted to take this occasion to tell you that I have never had sex with anyone on my staff.
I admit, because, no, not because you're all ugly.
It's because I have standards of decency.
I have never had sex with anyone on the staff.
Never, ever have I had sex with anyone on the staff.
What's indecent about having relations with me?
It's a power thing, Snerdley.
You don't do it.
You just don't do it.
You know, you don't.
I got all kinds of phrases I could use to explain it.
You don't eat where you go to the bathroom.
Everybody knows it's common decency in business anywhere.
And here's Letterman being laughed and applauded for it.
So what we have done, we have taken Letterman's statement and we have gotten some comments from previous statements by others, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama.
Letterman has spoken to Obama and about Palin, and here is how that goes.
The creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show.
Now, my response to that is, yes, I have.
Pretty pathetic, good old David Letterman.
I have had sex with women who work on this show.
What a commentary there.
And would it be embarrassing if it were made public?
Perhaps it would.
He's a jackass.
And we'll be back right after this.
Don't go away.
And we're back at Jel Rushbo here at the Cutting Edge of Societal Evolution.
Open Line Friday.
Your phone calls are coming right up.
And I want to go back.
I want to play the, because I just enjoy it so much.
I want to play the soundbite from the Reverend Dach earlier today when asked on the Fox Business Network for his reaction to the embarrassing, humiliating failure and defeat of the Obamas and Oprah in Copenhagen.
I would like to know what happened, because there's always underlying politics in these decisions.
But I'm shocked and sad, and I really anticipated we would win.
We sent a Team.
President, First Lady, Mitt sent a great presentation.
The mayor, the governor, Oprah Winfow Olympic, Olympians.
Let me assist here.
Reverend Zach, what happened was that a bunch of white Europeans voted against Obama.
Plain and simple.
That's what happened, Jesse.
How soon before we see the new Obama bumper sticker?
No, we can't.
And think about this, folks.
It is quite possible that Chicago may have gotten the Olympics if Obama hadn't politicized the process, if he hadn't gone over there in the first place, if he hadn't sent his wife over there in the first place, if they hadn't politicized it and had the media come over there and tell the world, oh, what rock stars?
Oh, these people have come over.
They've taken over.
They are just the most popular people here.
You know, people are human beings.
Human beings are human beings.
They have jealousies.
They have all this.
This is the IOC's show.
It wasn't the Obama show.
They came over there.
They tried to hijack the whole thing, and the IOC bitch-slapped them.
And it's no more complicated than that.
How about some journalists looking into that angle of the story?
Jesse Jackson wants to know what happened?
Well, find out what really happened.
Don't just sit there and impugn the vote and say, find out what really happened.
Could be that the International Olympic Kennedy members simply didn't like the arrogance of what the Obamas were doing.
And maybe they don't give two squats about Oprah Winfrey, who is now eating her way through the fjords after consuming Norway.
Here is Ken in Detroit as we go to the phones.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yeah, Rush, I wanted to say that I am extremely happy that the International Olympic Committee did reject Chicago for the Olympic Games.
My reasoning behind it is that it shows me that the rest of the world, they have the intellect, the intelligence necessary to see through and reject the phony and the undeserving rock star, superstar, messiah image of Barack Obama that's being promoted in this country.
It could be that.
It could also be that the IOC hates America.
Well, I don't think so.
It could also be that Europeans hate America.
Look at just because George Bush is gone does not mean all this so-called animus against the country, the United States, is gone.
I think you're right to a point.
I do think that the IOC, as I just said, they're human beings.
Here come this entourage over there taking over, and they got their media in tow and their stories all over the U.S. media, worldwide media.
Oh, the rock stars are here.
Oh, they've taken over.
Oh, everybody loves them.
Oh, this or that.
Oh, my God, we can't get enough of them.
Can I get a picture with you, please?
And I think it does illustrate that the image of Obama concocted by our fraudulent corrupt media is a total myth.
It's even a myth in this country.
Well, Rush, I don't think it really is a problem with the world not like in America.
And I say that because I know a lot of people who travel around the world.
And for the most part, they actually do like us.
Yes, I know, but I'm talking about these European socialist leader types.
Well, you got to look at countries like Germany.
They've been voting in candidates who are pro-capitalist.
They've been rejecting the old socialist way because they found it don't work.
The Labor Party is on its last skids in Great Britain, too.
What is in store for us has happened to them, and they're ready to throw the bums out in Great Britain.
Thanks.
Ken, appreciate the call.
Columbia, South Carolina.
Mark, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
It is such an honor to talk to you.
I mean, that's mega dittos.
And I'd like to also say mega dittos to Susan.
Her call did, has motivated me and a lot of people, and I just want to tell her just job well done.
But anyway, the reason I'm calling is I believe I can't, I haven't seen any press about this, and I started thinking about it.
And I believe that Saturn failed Saturn-Penske deal is actually the first visible link to Obama's failed policies.
And the reason I say that is Renault Samsung Motors, their board of directors, were actually the ones that rejected the guaranteed cost of the vehicles to be produced for Penske to make Saturn vehicles because GEM rejected after 2010, they rejected the vehicles to be made by General Motors.
And they said we're not going to produce them anymore, so then they had to find somebody else to continue Saturn to keep growing.
Well, the board of directors rejected it on one basic thing.
Roger Penske said, look, I need U.S. currency.
I need the cost of the vehicles to be based on current U.S. currency rates, which is a smart business decision.
The board of directors rejected that, and they said we can do the deal, but we will not base it on current rates.
And Penske said, I'm not going to put up my money, you know, I'm paraphrasing or taking liberties.
Pay backed out of the deal.
So I don't want Saturn under these circumstances.
I'm not going to take these trends.
I'm gone.
And this is the first time that.
And so Saturn's gone.
The whole Saturn brand is gone.
The General Motors Saturn brand's gone.
Thousands of jobs.
Thousands of jobs.
Oh, God.
That's a current.
And by the way Roger Penske, if anybody could have saved it, he could have.
That's right.
And his irresponsible spending and printing of money that's devouring the U.S. dollar, even the Europeans and the Americans and the business community, the experts, the economists, everyone.
I'm tired of my intelligence being insulted to say, why does every expert say this is the way it is?
You print so much money that the U.S. dollar is going to go down.
You are going to have to raise taxes to pay for this thing.
And you're going to send us back into another recession.
In 2011 and 2012, we are going to be facing another historical thing.
Why does Obama think that his policies are any different than all theories and economics at all?
He doesn't think they're any different.
My friends, I am thrust into the uncomfortable position once again by virtue of this phone call from Mark in Columbia, South Carolina to tell you nobody, even the Obama's a moron.
He's an imbecile.
In terms of running over to Copenhagen without having his thing in the bag, this is something presidents just don't do.
But I'm telling you, there isn't anybody with a half a brain of economic literacy who would be doing anything Obama is doing right now, policy-wise, in the middle of a recession.
Nobody would dare say that what they are doing is designed to create jobs.
This is being done on purpose.
The President of the United States has a chip on his shoulder about this country.
It's unjust.
It's immoral.
You can hear it.
He says so.
The country is only good and decent now since he's been elected.
This is about the redistribution of wealth in this country, returning the nation's wealth to its quote-unquote rightful owners, the poor minorities and his favored union buddies.
This is about destroying the private sector and replacing it with a bigger and bigger government sector.
All this has been done on purpose, folks.
You know, Snerdley, it was just yesterday that we had that call, a woman asking, can you do this a little fun right?
Maybe just one hour Obama free, and I was going to try to do it today.
Not possible.
And besides, this has been a fun show.
This has been a great show.
A country is up and inspired like it hadn't been a long time.
I wonder how proud of her country Michelle Obama is today.
I wonder how proud of the Olympic Committee Michelle Obama is today.
You don't think she's very proud, Mr. Snerdley?
I don't even know why Jesse Jackson's whining about it.
He's a citizen of the world.
Wherever the Olympics goes, he's a big shot.
Obama, too.
Why are they upset?
Obama's the president of the world.
He ought to be happy.
You know, we have 4% of the world's athletes, but we win 25% of the medals.
Obama doesn't like winning.
He doesn't like competition.
I wonder how victory seems to Obama now that it has escaped him.
But he ought to be happy.
Some place that's never had the Olympics got the Olympics.
Maybe the drive-by spin will be.
Because they're all asking the Washington Post now, what went wrong?
What went wrong?
CNN still can't believe it.
They ran this story.
The CNN said, Henry, today, Michelle Obama steals show in Copenhagen.
Yeah, right.
The anchor, Tony Scott, whatever his name is, on CNN doing live commentary when the announcement came that Chicago was first eliminated, could not believe it.
I was just stunned.
So they got to come up with some reason.
Now, try to blame me for spreading the fail vibe all over the world.
Then they'll blame Bush for residual hatred of America, even though he's not here.
And then they might turn it around and say, well, you know, Obama's really a feasible, way ahead of all of us.
This clears the way for Chicago to get it in 2020.
Much cleaner.
And then they will come out and they'll say, you know what?
Obama probably really didn't want the Olympics.
He wanted it to go to a city that had never had the Olympics before.
And so he tailored his presentation to see.
Well, look at these people in a time.
You think that sounds ridiculous.
It's no more ridiculous than their day-to-day coverage of the guy to come out and suggest that he wanted to lose it on purpose.
But hey, it's not fair.
You know, no one country is going to dominate another again.
No one country is going to tell other countries what they can and can't do, especially us.
The guy runs around apologizing to the world for nine months for his country, and then we get voted down.
He shouldn't be surprised.
He engineered this.
I'm just telling you, it sounds ridiculous to you.
You think I'm off my rocker here, but you, I'm telling you, nobody knows the media like I know the media.
Nobody knows leftists like I know them.
They've got to save this guy's bacon.
Folks, this is a disaster.
Do you understand what a disaster this is?
This is a worldwide humiliation.
Barack Hussein Obama, mm, mm, mm, and Michelle Mabel Obama, put it all on the line.
And they got bitch slapped, humiliated in front of the world.
There's going to be somebody that's got to cover the bases on this.
Somebody has got to come up with a way that this can be explained, that Obama maintains his brilliance, his uniqueness, that he is a step ahead of all of us.
Mark my words.
I just don't even say.
Yes.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, is talking with F. Chuck Todd.
Moments ago.
Listen to this.
A little bit of the shine is going to wear off today.
It's a stomach punch.
But we'll see.
There'll be plenty of people that will write on a lead to their column.
Boy, on a day that unemployment went up, his hometown doesn't get the Olympics.
He couldn't bring it home.
You know, is this guy's president?
Blah, blah, blah.
You can see how that storyline could shape itself.
President could use a victory here sometime soon, that's for sure.
Well, it's a good thing he did well in the diplomatic talks with Iran, but that's another whole subject.
What the fussy?
See what I mean?
You laugh at me when I tell you how the media is going to spin for the guy.
Let me tell you what the New York Times Obama meets with McChrystal.
It's in their Asia Pacific section of the New York Times.
And I don't know if this is in the paper today or if it just got posted on the web, but the point of this story, the real reason Obama went to Copenhagen was to secretly meet with McChrystal on Afghanistan.
The whole Olympic thing was a clever ruse by Obama.
That's the New York Times.
I'm looking at it right here.
I have summarized the story for you.
So here you have, I mean, the fraud and corruption of the U.S. media is happening in real time before our very eyes and ears.
So now the whole, did I not just tell you, Sturdley?
Did I not just, and you laughed at me.
You poo-pooed my brilliance.
You come on, Rush.
You're going to sit there and say that Obama threw it just so some other country that never had it could have it.
That's what it is.
I'm not saying that.
I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if the media did.
Now, the New York Times, the whole Olympic thing, the whole trip over there, it really wasn't about securing the Olympics.
No, no, no.
It was to secretly meet with McChrystal, the general in Afghanistan.
Now, he did meet with McChrystal for 25 big minutes.
So you fly overnight to go to Copenhagen as a trick.
Who are we going to keep this secret from?
Why is it a secret?
He's going to talk to the general.
Yeah, why do you need a ruse to meet with your general?
It's not like you're flying to Afghanistan to meet with the general.
You're going over to Copenhagen.
You're going to Denmark for crying out.
You're not going to the theater of battle to talk to the guy.
Why do you need, why does the president of the United States need a ruse to talk to his commanding general in Afghanistan?
So I'm telling you, folks, don't ever doubt me when I am telling you possibilities about people on the left in the media at all.
Well, I know they'll have fun with my show today.
I can't wait for it.
This whole show, in fact, has been the giant tweak of the day.
This whole show is a tweak the media.
Do you realize CNN?
I still can't get over this.
Michelle Obama takes Copenhagen by storm.
They were humiliated.
Ed Henry wrote this.
They were humiliated.
So now we're going to be treated.
Now we're going to be treated to this whole notion that it was a ploy, it was a trick.
Because once the New York Times says this, I got two requests from drive-by journalists today for comments before the show started based on something in the New York Times.
What do you think of X?
What do you think of X?
Do you think X is?
I wrote back.
Do you people originate anything that doesn't start with the New York Times?
So the New York Times, it was a ruse.
I guarantee you it won't be long.
Before the end of this program, you're going to start seeing stories about how Obama just tricked everybody.
He's so, so far ahead of us.
The Republicans were out there mocking him because he refused to meet with the general.
He was worried about his healthcare plan.
He didn't want to meet with the general for fear of angering his left-wing base.
But he did it.
He mocked the Republicans.
He's made a fool of the Republicans.
He met with the general.
He met for 25 minutes and he managed to do it on a secret trip to Copenhagen.
It was looking like he was going for the Olympics, but in fact, he mocked the Republicans.
And in fact, the Politico.
Bad day for USA, good day for GOP.
That's the headline, the latest post there.
Bad day for USA, good day for GOP, question was.
Here we go.
Folks, these people are so predictable that it is laughable to me.
And by the way, that 25-minute meeting, that's the shortest secret meeting with the general I've ever heard of.
So in 74 days, Obama has spoken maybe an hour total three times with the general leading the charge in Afghanistan.
Play Cut 27 again here.
F. Chuck Todd talking to Andrea Mitchell in be seen here.
A little bit of the shine is going to wear off today.
It's a stomach punch.
But we'll see.
There'll be plenty of people that will write on a lead to their column.
Boy, on a day that unemployment went up, his hometown doesn't get the Olympics.
He couldn't bring it home.
You know, is this guy's president?
Blah, blah, blah.
You could see how that storyline could shape itself.
President could use a victory here sometime soon, that's for sure.
Well, it's a good thing he did well in the diplomatic talks with Iran, but that's another whole subject.
President could use a victory here sometime soon, that's for sure.
Slip of the tongue there by F. Chuck.
There's F. Chuck telling us just how bad it is for Obama.
He needs a victory sometime soon, that's for sure.
And of course, the brilliance of Andrew Mitchell.
Well, you know, he really, really did well in those diplomatic talks with Iran.
Yeah.
I just love it, folks.
I just love it.
All right.
Still have my brain tied behind my back, folks.
Don't need the other half.
Even now.
Rush Limbaugh Open Line Friday.
Here it is.
Wait for it.
New York Times.
President Obama met here Friday with General Stanley McChrystal, his Afghanistan commander, to discuss a possible change in strategy and proposed troop buildup in the eight-year-old war.
The meeting had not been previously announced.
General McChrystal flew to Copenhagen from London, where he was on business.
He joined Obama in the forward cabin of Air Force One on the tarmac at the Copenhagen airport for 25 minutes after the president finished his presentation to the IOC on behalf of Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Games.
That's it.
That's in the New York Times.
It's published after the announcement.
So it's on their website, Obama Meets in the Crystal.
That's the story.
That is, and I guarantee you, the rest of the state-controlled media will echo this theme.
He met with McChrystal.
Now, the fringe lunatics are going to be angry at this, but he still did it.
The New York Times on their website covered, where do you think, wait for it, where do you think they put the story on Obama's bombing out?
No, no, no, no, no.
They put it in a sports section.
I didn't know the New York Times had a sports section.
I didn't know they cared about sports in the Upper West Side.
But they put it in the sports section on their website.
Obama humiliating failure In the sports section of the New York Times.
Now, the New York Times also has a blog.
This is the Dot Earth blog, the environmentalist wacko blog of the New York Times, posted within minutes of the Olympic announcement cutting Chicago out of the picture by Andrew Revkin.
President Obama's fruitless effort in Copenhagen to promote Chicago has provoked discussion over whether he'll return for the global climate treaty talks there in December.
Greenpeace campaigners hung a banner from a church near the Olympics meeting reading, Obama, right city, wrong date.
There are political risks whether Obama decides to go or to stay home.
He almost certainly will not go if strategists foresee little chance of last-minute compromises replacing the hardened position.
Should have thought of that before heading off to this meeting.
So now they're already speculating the drive-by movie.
Will he go back to Copenhagen?
It was such a humiliating defeat.
But he did meet with the general.
What did I do with a word?
What did I do with a bite?
There it is.
Sounded by number 30, Robert B. Reich.
I can only do it that long because I've been on the treadmill.
Greater lung capacity out there.
He was on CNBC this morning.
You know, he's the former labor secretary.
During a discussion of the 9.8% unemployment rate.
And by the way, you know what the backstory on that is?
Nobody has the guts to mention this, but I will.
9.8% unemployment.
You know what it means?
It means people in business who hire other people are racist.
That's what it means.
They don't want Obama to succeed.
Businesses want Obama to fail, so they're not hiring people because they're racists.
That's what it means.
Well, that's what the left is going to.
Isn't everything due to race?
Opposition to healthcare due to race?
Obama didn't get the Olympics because the IOC is a bunch of racists.
Everybody's racist who disagrees with Obama.
Anyway, Robert B. Reich on the show.
And Larry Kudlow is on there with what's her name?
Where is that?
Melissa Francis.
Now, this actually is better seen because they can't, you know, they're laughing at what you're going to hear Reich say here.
You will hear Melissa Francis stifle a laugh, but if you watch this video, they're both laughing at him.
As he says this in response to Kudlow saying, all these governmental programs may be stopping small business from hiring.
They're worried about government regulations.
What's your take on that?
Rather than worry about government spending too much, I worry, quite frankly, about government spending too little.
As I said before, the stimulus package is the thing that is actually keeping the economy up, keeping people employed.
Without government spending, without the stimulus package, I'm afraid, as the Commerce Secretary said, we are going to be in trouble.
You got to see the video here.
And can anything be more ridiculous?
I'm worried we're not spending enough.
Stimulus is the only thing keeping the comedy going.
Barack Hussein Obama.
I just love this day.
Tina in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
Great to be on the program.
And mega Dittos from my husband David and our 11 homeschooled Rush Babies.
Thank you.
11?
11, yes.
Every day we love.
Mommy.
Mama.
Well, I figure that took, let's see, about 11 kids, five minutes, 55 minutes, 11 kids.
Something like that.
Couple cigarettes in between.
No, not in this house.
Yeah, I hear you.
Well, I am changing the subject.
You have been discussing recently about why women are unhappy.
Well, I've been reporting that there are people in the media studying why women are unhappy.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
And I had been listening to that since the first time I heard you mention that.
I knew the answer.
And I was in the car with my 18-year-old son on Tuesday when you were talking about that again.
And I looked at him and I said, I know why women are unhappy.
Do you?
And without skipping a beat, he said, yes, because they're stepping outside of their God-given roles.
And I think you hit the nail on the head.
And in saying that, I'm not saying it's a lesser role.
It's just a different role.
And I think that women were designed and created to nurture babies, to love them, to educate them, to teach them to achieve their full academic potential, to love their fellow men, to become entrepreneurs.
And I think that they are stepping outside of that in pursuing roles and stuff that just leaves them empty.
I have a hard time disagreeing with this.
Look at Hillary Clinton.
Hey, Axelrod.
Hey, Ram.
Hey, you people at the White House, you better get moving fast on cap and tax.
Listen to this.
Michigan, record low temperatures breaks 1935 cold.
Record low tide at Daytona Beach, Florida.
Cold snap fills up homeless shelters in Idaho.
And we're worried whether Obama is going to go to the global warming conference back in Copenhagen.
It all depends on whether there is a Denmark left.
Ulpra Winfrey now finished eating the fjords and all of Norway and rumored to be headed back to Denmark to take out her anger on what happened there today.
