Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this show, documented to be almost always right, 99.3% of the time.
Great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I have a question.
Kill the music.
I have a question.
Here we have General McChrystal urging the president to send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan to save the operation.
We have NATO signing on.
We have Anthony Zinney signing on.
We have all kinds of people signing on.
But General John Swifty Carey has assumed operational control of the mission.
And this is what he had to say about Stanley McCormick McCristol.
His current plan reaches too far too fast.
We do not yet have the critical guarantees of governance and of development capacity.
The other two legs of counterinsurgency.
And I have serious concerns about the ability to produce effective Afghan forces to partner with at the rate that we need to so that we can ensure that when our troops make heroic sacrifices, the benefits to the Afghans are actually clear and sustainable.
That is ch did we were we concerned who would run Germany in post uh post uh after Hitler?
Did we decide to wait till we figured out what the Germans would do if we got rid of Hitler?
Um my question is this where where is General Colin Powell on this?
General Powell, of course, the um ideal Republican who endorses and votes for the Democrat presidential nominee.
Uh a highly decorated four-star, five how many stars is he said five-star, five-star general.
Where is the leader of the Republican Party on this?
Where is General Powell?
Has he nothing to say about our Afghan operation?
You know, it's interesting.
It was a moment ago, Snerdley tells me about this new bogus poll out there that suggests there's massive support, majority support for public option.
I said, yeah, if you run around and tell people it's free, you run around and tell people it's going to cost them anything, the government's going to pay for it, which, you know...
I mean their neighbors are gonna pay for it.
Government doesn't have any money.
Oh, you know, I was out in Las Vegas.
I gotta tell you the Las Vegas newspaper, a big story yesterday.
Steve Wynne has done a 180.
We had his sound bites on uh Fox News Sunday.
He is actively going to work for the defeat of President Obama.
He has uh in this article, he was quoted as saying that Obama has targeted Las Vegas.
Steve Wynne was one of his early supporters.
I think Steve Wynne was one of these guys.
Ah, post-partisan, post-racial, post this, post everything.
Oh, we how can we vote against this guy?
First black president, uh historic.
Uh blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And uh, it was it was amazing.
Uh it was a fascinating story.
And in fact, one of the uh the angles that the writer took.
All right, well, let's see just how much government has helped Steve Wynn.
And so you know what they you know what their biggest example of the government helping Steve Wynne was?
The internet.
Because people can now reserve hotel rooms and other services at Wynn's hotels and casinos on the internet.
And who gave us the internet?
The Pentagon in the 70s, a government program.
I didn't read the whole article, but that's what that was their first example of how Wynne has benefited from the uh from the government.
These chumps in the me here, the guy that was largely has built the modern Las Vegas, made it what it is along with a lot of other people, and the local newspaper got to trash him because he jumps on Obama.
While Vegas is in a they're not doing well out there.
Obama said United Days of getting on your plane and going to Vegas are over.
And people have listened to him.
All right, here's Pelosi.
This back to healthcare, by the way.
We get two sound bites.
This this is uh yesterday in Sunrise, Florida, Nancy Pelosi.
I do think that when people think of it as their option, their consumer option, because public is being misrepresented as being something that is paid for by taxpayer dollars, which it is not.
See, Snerdley, you poo-pooed me.
I didn't even know she had said this.
I used you tell me that there's some stupid poll out there, the majority of people support the public option.
And yeah, you run around and tell people it's free.
Of course they're gonna support it.
You can find a right bunch of people who believe that.
By the way, Lieberman just said he'll join the filibuster unless Dingy Harry pulls his public option out.
Olympia Snow has wed Sayanara, she's out of there.
Blanche Lincoln in trouble on this, Ben Nelson, Nebraska, in trouble on this.
If they don't get this, folks, if they don't get this, this is gonna be a bigger monument to failure than even Bill Clinton when he failed health care because at least he could have blamed it on his wife.
Obama can't blame it on anybody.
He can't blame it on the Republicans, although they'll they'll try.
Now, this afternoon on uh the live desk, Trace Gallagher was talking to Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, and Trace Gallagher said, now wait a minute, Speaker Pelosi says the public option is just a competitive option, not government-run health care, but it would be government-run option because it'd be funded by the government.
Where would the money come from?
No, uh it wouldn't be funded by the government.
Which would be fully paid back.
And it would be a good idea.
We hope it would be fully paid back.
But right now the numbers don't square like that.
I mean, what what you're saying is okay, go ahead.
No, with all due respect, they they they do square.
That's why CBO has scored our bill at less than the 900 billion dollar threshold that President Obama has called for.
That we are going to make sure that it doesn't add to the deficit one dime.
And we make sure that by using a competitive option, we provide for more competition and choice with the other private choices because otherwise you'll continue to have the private insurers basically give substandard policies.
Yeah, they're showing a profit of two to three percent.
Do you know that Hershey's candy makes a bigger profit than the insurance business?
It won't be funded by the government.
The public object competitive option won't be funded by the government.
It's gonna be free.
It's not gonna use taxpayer dollars, it's all gonna be paid for, it won't add a dime to the deficit.
People are loony.
I know the house plan's still over a trillion dollars.
They're hiding money.
They did they that's why they came in with this revised figure of uh eight hundred and some odd sixty-three billion dollars.
Oh, it's all smoke and mirrors.
This is gonna cost two trillion dollars.
Uh, let's see.
All right, we got to hear this.
Uh, after the do the three three sound bites here, and then we're gonna get to our environmental wacko uh segment with Volus.
It's just how the how how how this movement can have any sane people still involved in it is beyond me.
But first, last night on PMS NBC, there was a there was a panel discussion there with uh Barney Frank and Ralph Nader, and they are debating Barney Frank's proposed financial regulations, and Ralph Nader said this.
Giving uh shareholders non-binding authority on uh gigantic executive bonuses won't work.
He should give shareholders binding authority, and the shareholders should have in these giant companies a small staff so they can take on the executives.
But the important thing is, and this is where I think Barney is the weakest.
Uh, in 2000, he voted for bill that continued the deregulation of the the burgeoning derivative racket.
And now he's supporting a bill that has a huge loophole in terms of exempting trillions of dollars of certain categories of derivatives.
Now, you know, Ralph Nader doesn't know how close to right he is.
I don't think he actually does.
Because basically what Ralph Nader is saying, wait a minute, Barney.
You're the one that made these banks do what they did.
You sidle up to them, you enable them to do this stuff that was irresponsible.
Enable them, you forced them to do it, and now you're taking it out on them.
Uh, with all this.
Barney, of course, he doesn't sit still for this kind of stuff.
Ralph gets to luxuriate in the purity of his irrelevance.
We're in there fighting these things.
The right wing took control of government and ruined it.
They gave it a bad reputation.
Now that we are trying in every front to increase the role of government in the regulatory area, we run to this public opinion that says, hey, those are the guys who screwed up Katrina.
So the frustration is they're benefiting from their own internal.
So that's uh Barney Frank saying that Ralph gets to luxuriate in the impurity of his irrelevance.
The right wing took control of government and ruined it.
So Barney insults Nader, admits the Democrats' goals to expand government on every front, and blames Republicans and Bush for giving government a bad reputation.
This is a Saturday night live script.
And in Barney, he kept going.
He was on uh Anderson Cooper 365 last night, which I think is garnering about 200,000 viewers a night.
It's in fourth place.
It is losing to reruns on headline news.
Reruns on headline news.
It's losing CNN.
Anderson Cooper 365.
So he had Barney Frank underwest is a great way to get the numbers up, isn't it?
I'm sorry, John King was sitting in for Anderson Cooper on Anderson Cooper 365.
John King says, You have the new plan to deal with the institutions deemed too big to fail.
Is CNN too big to fail?
We need to start asking that question.
They have already failed.
CNN invented cable news.
I am said to have invented modern talk radio.
When I started in 1988, CNN was it.
Now look at my chart and my graph compared to theirs.
I mean, their chart looks like employment in this country.
Down, down, down, down, down.
Well, anyway, uh Barney Frank was asked if a new plan to deal with the institutions deemed too big to fail.
Help us to understand how this works.
There's going to be a systemic risk council.
This systemic risk council will have the duty of monitoring to see if any institution or any pattern is causing a risk.
If it is, they will step in well before we're faced with this kind of collapse.
They would have said to AIG, you may not sell any more credit to Fallswaps.
We are going to use the bankruptcy authority of the Constitution to put these regulatory body in charge of putting these people out of their miseries.
When the right wing started talking about death panels, they were right for the wrong reason.
We are going to have death panels, but they're going to be death penals that are going to put to death these institutions before they can cause us problems, not old people.
This is just too much.
This is great.
How do they expect anybody in the country listening to this to love it by into it?
They're going to be a systemic riskle.
The systemic risk custom with a duty of monitoring the sea.
It's covering a risk.
Look at that.
It's whack them.
Somebody get me some Lysol for the Golden EIB microphone.
Um I wonder how many regulators Barney whacked trying to stop what was going on in the subprime mortgage stuff.
And by the way, uh these guys want to try to take risk out of everything.
I made the point last week.
This is a nation built on risk taking.
That's what entrepreneurialism is.
Gotta go.
Quick timeout, back with much more right after this.
Don't go anywhere.
Sturdley is screwed up.
Colin Powell's a four-star, not a five-star, hadn't been a five-star since World War II.
Everybody thinks I screwed up.
I didn't screw up.
I asked, Well, how many stars he got?
Five.
Okay, five.
It was irrelevant to the story, so I went with it.
John Kerry.
Just had the sound bites of John Kerry.
Talking about Afghanistan and McCrystal.
John Kerry 2003 in December to the Council on Foreign Relations again.
In fact, I fear that in the run-up to the 2004 election, the administration's considering what is tantamount to a cut and run strategy.
Their sudden embrace of accelerated Iraqification and American troop withdrawal dates without adequate stability is an invitation to failure.
The hard work of rebuilding Iraq must not be dictated by the schedule of the next American election.
Nowhere is the need for collective endeavor greater than in Afghanistan.
We must end the Bush administration's delay in expanding NATO forces and deploying them outside of Kabul.
We must accelerate the training for the Afghan army and police.
A disarmament of the warlord militias and their reintegration into society must be transformed from a pilot program into a mainstream strategy.
So here's John Kerry in 2003 accusing the Bush of Administration of thinking about cutting and running from Iraq and Afghanistan before the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations.
While we are in the midst of cutting and running from Afghanistan, under the leadership of President Obama.
From a disappointed Associated Press, just weeks before an international conference on climate change, the United Nations signaled it was scaling back expectations of reaching agreement on a new reality, a treaty rather to slow global warming.
Yanus Pesture, director of the Secretary General's climate change support team, said Monday, it's hard to say how far the conference will be able to go because the U.S. Congress is not agreed on a climate bill, and industrialized nations have not agreed on targets to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions or funding to help developing countries limit theirs.
Secretary General Bancaimun has made a new climate treaty his top priority, hosting a September 22 summit on climate change to spur political support.
Pastor told a news conference there's tremendous activity by governments in capitals and internationally to shape the outcome of the climate change conference in Copenhagen.
But he indicated Copenhagen most likely won't produce a treaty.
Instead will push governments as far as they can go on the content of an agreement.
Scaling back expectations.
And I I think if if if to the extent that this is accurate, it is uh because Dingy Harry and boys are nowhere near getting crap and tax uh here before the end of the year.
Obama's not going to go over there with a bill in hand.
He may not have his health care done by then, which is uh early December.
From the UK Daily Express, a medium-sized dog has the same carbon impact as a Toyota land cruiser driven 6,000 miles a year, according to a new book.
Now, folks, as I say, I do not understand how it is that any sane person can still support any of this.
Time to eat the dog, the real guide to sustainable living is the name of the book.
Also suggests a cat a cat.
My little pumpkin is the equivalent to running a Volkswagen golf.
The findings are based on the amount of land needed to grow food for pets.
Even a pair of hamsters do the same damage as running a plasma TV, say the book's authors, Robert and Brenda Vale.
But rabbits and chickens were eco-friendly because they provide meat for their owners while a canary or a goldfish does little harm to the planet.
Do you believe this?
I do.
Nutcase leftists are running around.
I mean, it's just it's they want no living thing on this planet other than them.
How dogs damage the planet like a four by four.
And this from the UK Times from a couple of uh actually it's it's from uh I guess it's this morning.
People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming, Lord Stern, said meat Is a wasteful use of water, creates a lot of greenhouse gases, it puts enormous pressure on the world's resources.
A vegetarian diet is better.
Now, these people are these are the people all trying to gain control of a of a worldwide government to implement this stuff.
Direct emissions from methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gas.
Folks, I'm gonna explain something to you about vegetarianism.
Snurdley, you tell me.
What is the primary source of protein for vegetarians?
No, don't give me that protein powder stuff.
Don't give me that.
Beans, exactly right.
Now we all know what if and if beans are your sole source of protein.
I mean, you can run around and do the powder mix, put it in your water out there.
But you can fool yourself, but beans are it, and we all know from the blazing saddle scene what happens.
So we're gonna get rid of all the livestock.
We're gonna get rid of beef.
I'm going to get rid of cattle and all that to be replaced by a bunch of...
It's going to end up that vegetarians are causing global warming.
Don't care.
Beans do.
I don't care what tofu makes you do.
Beans do.
Chickpeans, white bees, black beans, black-eyed pea beans, whatever they try it.
Navy beans.
Why this is why not kill all the elephants and hippoponamuses and gazelles and beers and buffalo and uh bears, everything else.
They're all expel gas.
Uh and there's even more in this.
Sit tight.
Look, folks, here with no global warming when the buffalo were out there roaming around.
Yeah, this is a this this is is truly inane.
Um when they want us to go vegetarian out there, always always ask myself, why stop a domestic livestock?
You know, why not?
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I forgot to mention something.
Uh during the break, I heard from my broadcast partners at Clear Channel, who are concerned that I made a racial slur by designating peas as black-eyed.
And they have asked me to apologize for this slurred, so I happily do this.
I uh I label peas as black-eyed, and I can understand how some people would think in our climate today that that's uh a racial slur.
So I'm I'm I'm deeply sorry if anybody was offended by that.
No, I I'm not suspended.
If they told me if I apologized within five minutes that I would not be suspended for a week.
So I've just, okay, I'll be glad to apologize to the peas.
I didn't want to offend them.
Uh well, got that out of the way.
Anyway, why not, if if we're gonna get rid of it, if if animals cause global warming, why not kill all the elephants?
Why not kill all a hippopotami, all a gazelle, all the bears, the buffalo?
Every other animal out there that eats beans, that eats vegetables.
You ever been around a zoo where that's what the animals eat?
Why not kill all the animals and just close all the zoos?
Barney Frank.
Barney Frank.
You know, I was thinking Barney Frank is worse, ladies and gentlemen, than any executive who has ever been a crook in the private sector.
Barney Frank uses his uh position and the law to promote the destruction of the housing market and all that goes with it.
Then he blocked efforts to correct what he and others of his ill can unleashed.
If you want to know who Barney Frank is, he is Enron AIG, WorldCom, Global Crossing, all the rest wrapped up in one and worse.
Barney Frank is an example of what is wrong with Soviet-style industrial policy.
Bancai Moon, who is the uh grand Puba of the United Nations.
New York Times op-ed on Sunday on the Copenhagen meeting.
Every day the critical December summit in Copenhagen grows closer.
All agree that climate change is an existential threat to humankind.
No, all do not.
U.S. leadership is crucial.
That is why I am encouraged by the spirit of compromise shown in the bipartisan initiative announced last week by John Kerry and Lindsay Grimnesty.
Here was a pair of U.S. Senators, one Republican and the other Democrat, coming together to bridge their party's differences to address climate change in a spirit of genuine give and take.
Looking forward to Copenhagen, I have four benchmarks for success.
Are you ready for this?
This is a general secretary of the United Nations.
Number one, every country must do its utmost to reduce emissions from all major sources, including from deforestation and emissions from shipping and aviation.
Number two, a successful deal must strengthen the world's ability to cope with an already changing climate.
In particular, it must provide comprehensive support to those who bear the heaviest climate impacts.
Yes.
Number three, a deal needs to be backed by money and the means to deliver it.
And number four.
From Bancai Moon, General Secretary of the United Nations, a deal must include an equitable global governance structure.
All countries must have a voice in how resources are deployed and managed.
That is how trust will be built.
The best answer to all these questions was given last week by Senators Carey and Gramnesty.
Yes, we can.
Lunatics are running the major institutions of the world and this country.
Genuine, deranged lunatics.
One worlders, power grabbers, anti-capitalists, anti-freedom, anti-liberty lunatics.
From the Associated Press.
An analysis of global temperatures by independent statisticians show the Earth is still warming and not cooling, as some global warming skeptics are claiming.
The analysis was conducted at the request of the Associated Press to investigate the legitimacy of talk of a cooling trim that's been spreading on the internet, fueled by some news reports, a new book and temperatures that have been cooler in recent years.
So AP commissioned their own research.
They are a bunch of journalists.
I assume these journalists get paid.
They commission their own research.
In short, it is not true, according to our statisticians who contributed to our AP analysis.
How convenient just before Obama set the jet off to Copenhagen.
The old hey, for those of you who living in places where record cold temperatures were set in October and September, where record snowfalls were set.
Earliest snowfalls.
It ain't happening.
It didn't happen.
It really wasn't cold.
That wasn't snow that you saw.
Probably uh bean curd in a in a in a protein mix that got somehow swirled up into the atmosphere.
Who knows what it was, but it wasn't snow.
AP commissioned their own research.
Oh, I know well, their research will continue, but the warmest year in the last ten last 11 years was 1998.
The warmest year was 1998.
Now, uh let's see, uh Senate Republican conference chairman Lamar Alexander yesterday said that Obama is promoting a climate change bill that would deliberately kill American jobs.
A statement immediately dismissed by the bill's chief promoter, Senator Barbara Boxer.
Boxer has released a 900 page bill with foreign relations committee chairman John Kerry, that's expected to be marked up next week, but hearings are scheduled to start Tuesday for three days.
Nine panels of 54 total witnesses expected to come before the committee.
Alexander said the country should devote itself to building a hundred more nuclear power plants over the next 20 years, converting half the country's autos to electricity in the next 20.
Oh, that's stupid.
Increase offshore oil exploration, that's good, and increase investments in energy research and development.
So they can't say there aren't any ideas for the Republican Party on this.
But I mean, do you realize what a statement this is?
For a sitting senator to come out and say that Obama is deliberately killing American jobs, that's big and that's true, and it is accurate.
And I no longer feel like I'm on the plank by myself out there on this.
Here's uh Matt in Charleston, South Carolina.
Hey Matt, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
Uh the people in South Carolina are furious with Lindsey Graham.
He's being praised by the other side, I might add, for being bipartisan for teaming up with Kerry on this climate bill.
Yeah.
He is not bipartisan.
He is a turncoat.
He has Benedict Arnold from hell.
He has totally jumped ship, and along with Kerry, he is carrying the flag for the other side.
And we are we have had it.
Rush, if he was up for reelection right now, and I know how you feel about the third party stuff.
Tell me if a conservative was to run against him that you wouldn't support a third party against this clown.
What now?
If a conservative did run against Grahamcy in a primary.
I'm talking if he was to Graham's a sitting Senator Rush.
Yeah.
It's tough to beat him in the you know it's how tough.
I know.
Look at I heard, I heard before he was recently re-elected.
I heard I can't tell you how many calls sounding just like yours I got.
We're fed up with Graham Dusty.
He didn't have a chance here.
He's finished his fee.
Well, if it comes down to it, Rush, I'm I'd I'd almost have to say anybody other than him.
Uh just so we know who we're up against.
He's a turncoat.
Well, it he was just last year, right?
Re-elected 08.
Yes.
Yeah.
So he's got he's got five years to uh make up for this.
He's figuring you're not gonna remember this.
I know.
Well, hey, Rush.
Hey.
Any updates on your not so secret secret scheme?
And are you going to give it a name?
The not so secret secret scheme.
I love it.
It's gonna work.
I can't wait.
Yeah, I've we're still we're still working on this.
See, uh I did announce a secret scheme last week, and I asked everybody, don't tell anybody, so the media doesn't find out.
That one of these days I'm just gonna come out and say, I, you know, I've already looked at everything, and I think Obama's right about the objective of the scheme will be to trick the media into abandoning Obama, because the one thing they will despise more than anything is agreeing with me or having me on their side.
That they will not tolerate.
And I'm trying to figure out a way to get the media to abandon Obama, and I figure the best way to do it is to agree with him.
But I gotta spring this on people when they're not looking for it.
I can't announce the scheme and then do the scheme shortly thereafter.
Uh, we're working on a name for the scheme, but the but the name for the scheme will come up after the scheme has been flawlessly executed.
We're in the brilliant conception stage of the uh of the scheme now.
But folks, this it it'll only work if you don't tell anybody.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Ha, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, this, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
You ought to hear this.
Now we've we've all been told by Catholic Sibelius, the Health and Human Services uh Secretary, how horrible the swine flu is, other.
We've got to get a vaccine.
We got we got we got people you must take it.
It's horrible.
It's deadly, it's bad, it's rotten.
So she's on the Today Show yesterday, and the co-host Matt O'Hour interviewed her, and uh Mount Wauer said, Remember in the spring there were some countries in Mexico, for example, they took uh much more aggressive steps to curb the spread of the virus.
They shook down a lot of public facilities.
They discouraged large gatherings of people.
Uh you we have a contingency plan in this country, madam secretary, a level of infection where we have a plan like that that we can put into effect.
Right now, the public health officials weigh toward keeping schools open if there's enough personnel to do that.
It's dangerous for kids often to not be in school, to not have a safe place to go to not Get fed on a regular basis.
So knowing that we can contain this disease through vaccination and through mitigation, we're trying to lean toward keeping the business going.
Oh man.
I know.
She doesn't want to close the scrolls because then many children will not be fed.
That is the level of the welfare state we've become.
If kids don't go to school, they'll go hungry.
And even at the risk of getting the swine flu.
We gotta send them to school.
Otherwise, they won't eat.
Otherwise they won't be fed.
The homes are unsafe.
Homes are unsafe.
Schools I what Snerdley, you heard her.
You heard her.
I I can't I can't expand on this uh anymore.
Karen in San Diego, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Yeah, you doing there, Rush.
Um, with this stuff that's going up in Washington, I have private health care.
How's that gonna affect me?
Yeah, private health care.
Well, uh, to be honest with you, you're gonna lose it uh in a matter of years.
It won't be immediate.
How did you mind telling me how old you are, Karen?
I'm fifty.
Fifty.
Not good.
Uh I'm 58, and it ain't good for you and I. Because what's gonna happen here is uh they're gonna get they're gonna get this done if the if they get it done.
It will not be implemented until 2013, so that Obama will not face a revolt in the 2012 elections.
And then when it gets implemented in 2013, you'll still have your private insurance.
It's gonna take a number of years to force the insurance companies out of business and to force people onto the public option.
They're not gonna be able to wave a magic wand and have this done overnight, but it will happen.
And let's say it happened, let's say Obama's target years.
He said it might take 10 to 15 years to totally wipe out private insurance.
Now they're gonna try to do it sooner than that, and they might succeed, but 10 to 15 years makes you 65 and hello death panels.
Oh, I hear you.
And we ask you one guy, one more question.
Yeah.
On on those sleep number beds, are they because I have a bad back?
Does it uh I'm thinking about getting one?
Do they really work for bats?
No, I just make it all up.
Um please.
Of course they work.
Let me tell you something.
I got an email from a from a guy, uh, what it was he, a truck driver or something, and he did bad back, and I read it on the air last week, and he had tried all kinds of medication, all kinds of everything.
He went out and bought a sleep number bed, and he doesn't have the back pain anymore.
Wow, that's amazing.
Yeah, because I get I'll be getting like 2400 for my boyfriend this year for Christmas.
I figured I'd go buy one of those.
Uh how do you know that your boyfriend's gonna give you 2400?
Because you re every year we're together, I get two hundred dollars, and we've been together twelve years.
It increases.
He started it twelve years ago.
Hmm.
Now this is interesting.
Nice guy, huh?
When did you guys strike this deal?
Uh, he struck it one um Christmas Eve.
The first Christmas Eve we're together.
So he came up with the plan two hundred dollars a year for every year you're together.
Uh-huh.
And that was incentive enough to get you to hang in there.
Oh, heck yeah, he's one hell of a guy.
200 bucks.
What does he get after 12 years of bliss?
All of me.
You.
Mm-hmm.
All of you.
Mm-hmm.
I I do what Dr. Loris says.
I know how to treat a man.
Uh oh.
All right.
Uh got you stumped, huh?
So true, man.
So you're in effect gonna be paid twenty four hundred dollars this Christmas.
Not paid.
Just yet, because he doesn't give me flowers or cards or anything during the year, so this is my you know, reward for what I do for him.
You get no flowers or cards during the year.
No, but I get a whopping gift at the end of the year for Christmas.
And this year it's 2400 bucks.
Mm-hmm.
