Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
The Europeans are really ticked off at the man-child President Barack Obama over this climate change failure.
In fact, Der Spiegel, or Der Spiegel, headline, Obama has failed the world on climate change.
And to me, that means the world is temporarily better off.
Are they still personally like him?
That's all BS2.
Greetings, folks, and welcome Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Let me tell you something.
I was reading something earlier today.
HR just shouted in my ear as I was starting the program here, talked about the Europeans angry at him over climate change failure, that they still like him personally.
You know, that's what they're that's what they're pushing on.
This there's I read a story here, I think it's American thinker, not sure where I'll find it, about polling.
And the guy makes the point that I've been making for years, polling has now become a way of making news, of shaping opinion.
Polling and the results of polling are now news when nothing could be further from the truth.
And since every politician is obsessed with it, polling is how agendas are kept alive.
For example, if you look at the issue by issue poll, you find that nobody, there is not a majority that supports anything Obama's doing.
And yet, everybody gives him a high likability rating, and everybody gives him a fairly decent approval number, although that's teetering uh right around 50% at Gallup, 46% at Rasmussen.
But the point is, as long as the pollsters report that Obama is personally liked, that intimidates members of Congress into opposing his agenda.
Because Obama is universally liked, though, they really enjoy him.
He's personal, he's smart, he speaks well, and even though people hate his issues and his agenda, they like him personally.
Well, my theory on that is that these approval numbers are skewed high, perhaps not artificially by by uh the pollsters twisting things, although they do do that with samples.
But I think the old ugly racist head has uh raises itself here.
I think what a polster calls somebody and says, What do you think about President Obama?
I think people are afraid to say anything negative because he's our first black president, uh, and especially if the poll is done in person.
So the point of the story that I read, and I actually agree with it, if you want to find out just how strong Obama is, actually focus on where he is issue by issue by issue.
And if if if you can't find an issue where the majority of Americans support his agenda, that should tell you something.
Because when you go ask somebody, what do you think about health care?
No, no, I'm not in favor of this.
You take Obama out of the question and you get an honest answer.
You put Obama in the question and you get a skewed result.
It's just that simple.
So the Europeans still like him.
Let me tell you something.
Obama came to office in order, ladies and gentlemen, to change our image in the world, make the world like us once again.
Um Europeans are fit to be tied over Obama caving on climate change, because without us, they can't get it done on their own.
And uh they believe this hoax.
They think it's a big problem.
So they're mad, but they still like Obama personally.
Yes, that's what we're led to uh led to believe.
I I just I and this this trial, you know, this this I can't still folks, I still can't get off this trial.
I can't stop thinking about this.
We've got some audio soundbites coming up today from people like Dick Durbin, who you will hear say that the reason for doing this is to change our image in the world.
It really isn't about punishing these guys, it's about trying to make amends for opening club git mo in the first place.
Um in other words, these people think we need to spank ourselves.
As I used to do to make amends for mistakes on this program.
I won't do it anymore now that we have a ditto cam in here.
I will not display spanking myself.
It's uh something that needs to be heard, not seen.
If I did it, I'd have to turn on the I know, I know I could turn the ditto camera, I could turn the bars on, but uh So anyway, uh now the stimulus.
Not only are they making up jobs created or saved, now they are making up congressional districts, which do not exist.
At recovery.org, that $18 million website.
Do you know how this happens?
The people, let's say at the Fred and Maud Shoe Store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
They can go on to recovery.org and say they created or saved uh however many jobs, and then they can put in their congressional district to show where it is.
And the White House is thinking, we're not fudging any of this.
What's happening here is that uh these these good people who are reporting jobs created or saved, just don't know their congressional district, and they're just putting in a number in there that's wrong, and people say, well, then take it out.
Why don't you fix it?
Well, not that easy to do, uh, but uh the the web with website design is such that uh we're gonna leave it the way it is.
So we've got imaginary districts.
Can you imagine how Acorn's gonna have an orgasm over this?
Good God, when you can go in and and uh and make up an entire congressional district and then ballot stuff from a district that doesn't exist, except that it does on an Obama website.
Whoa, an ABC, state-controlled ABC uncovered this last night on ABC's World News Tonight, a montage of the report by Jonathan Carl.
You will also hear in this uh soundbite Joe Biden, the vice president from September 3rd this year.
The $18 million website created by the White House to track the stimulus lists millions of dollars spent and jobs created.
We got a new modern website, it's gonna blow you away.
The website, for example, says 30 jobs were created and over 700,000 spent in Arizona's 15th Congressional District.
The problem?
The state has only eight congressional districts.
There is no 15th district.
In virtually every state, the website lists millions of dollars spent and jobs created in fictional congressional districts.
The administration chalks it all up to human error and says the mistakes were most likely made by grant recipients who filled out their forms correctly and may not even have known what congressional district they live in.
They say that the overall numbers given by the White House about job creation are still accurate.
How can they say that?
How can it be?
They're literally making up numbers out of whole cloth.
They are sending money to places that are not there.
Where is the money going?
Where is it going?
What do you think, Snerdly?
Where's the money going?
God only knows where it's going.
I'm telling you, it's a slush fund.
As I explained yesterday and uh and also brilliantly on Friday, it's a slush fund.
It's a giant slush fund.
Imaginary made-up congressional districts, and when they get caught, they blame it on who?
Idiot.
Americans.
Oh, yeah, but the numbers they're reporting are correct.
If Arizona only has eight congressional districts, why would somebody think that they live in the 15th?
And if you don't know, why would you just make it up?
I mean, if you're reporting to the government, if you're really into all this, you're obviously going to send in as many uh uh legitimate uh items.
Well, maybe not because they're they're lying about the numbers of jobs, too.
Uh these people cannot even read maps.
There are imagin by it's not just Arizona.
I mean, the the the list, the reporting problems are not just in Arizona, Oklahoma.
Recovery.gov lists more than 19 million dollars in spending, 15 jobs created in more congressional districts that don't exist.
In Iowa, it shows 10.6 million dollars spent, 39 jobs created in non-existent districts.
In Connecticut's 42nd district, which also does not exist, the website claims 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars.
The list of spending and job creation in fictional congressional districts extends to U.S. territories as well.
68.3 million spent and 72 million spent in the first congressional district of the U.S. Virgin Islands, 8.4 million spent, 40.3 jobs created in the 99th Congressional District of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
1.5 million spent, three jobs created in the 69th district, and 35 million for 142 jobs in the 99th district of the Northern Mariana Islands.
None of these places exist.
$47.7 million spent, 291 jobs created in Puerto Rico's 99th congressional district.
No, the White House didn't catch any of this, and don't you get Biden out there, uh the state-of-the-art website, they'll blow you away.
Uh, and and these are the people, this is this is the this is the common rejoinder.
These are the people that claim they can fix and run more efficiently and cheaper.
One-sixth of the U.S. economy known as uh as health care.
In New Mexico, in New Hampshire, in California, uh, all of these fake districts in all of these real states.
Jobs, if the congressional districts are made up, what about the jobs being made up?
I mean, of course, this is the two go hand in hand.
I mean, that this this website is an $18 million boondoggle joke.
It's a propaganda machine.
It's run right out of the White House, and to now blame these uh these these phony, non-existent congressional districts on people in the states not knowing what district they're in.
Yes, the official program observer with another question.
What's the question?
My website did not cost $18 million to build.
Someday it will generate $18 million, but it does not cost, did not cost $18 million to build.
And I this thing probably did, but how much how much graft fraud and deceits in that?
Anyway, we got to take a brief time out, but before we do, I want you to think about something.
Eric Holder, and the people he said he consulted before deciding to have a civil criminal trial of the 9-11 masterminds.
He says he consulted with two people, his wife and his brother.
Here are people Mr. Holder did not consult.
The president, the vice president, uh Congress, the judicial branch, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of Defense, the Governor of New York, the mayor of uh uh uh uh uh oh, I'm wrong.
I'm wrong.
David Patterson has let the cat out of the bag.
The governor of New York, he's upset about this, he doesn't want this trial in his state, much less New York City, and he let the cat out of the bag.
He said that he was warned and told advised six months ago from the White House that this was to be the decision.
Now look, folks, we're not that shouldn't surprise you.
You really believe Eric Holder did not consult Obama?
Do you really believe Obama had no idea what the decision was going to be?
Don't don't don't don't even go down that road.
This is Obama's decision, and it is purely political.
Now I have a friend Andy McCarthy, I talk about him all the time.
He was the U.S. Um uh attorney's office, Southern District of New York, it's Manhattan.
He was on the prosecutorial team that put the blind shake behind bars in 1995.
And he he has a long piece recounting all of the people consulted and the uh the things everybody had to consider in deciding whether or not to indict the blind sheik.
And they they talked to national security people and they talked to uh all kinds of Justice Department people.
Uh they consulted with the president, the office of the president, vice president, all of these people.
Uh it was it was a tough decision.
They they consulted with Janet Reno.
Janet Reno's the one who wanted to do the trial, but others didn't, and they uh they had to figure out the right thing to do.
The point is that Eric Holder did not make this decision after just talking to his wife and his brother.
And yet that's what they maintain.
And they say Obama had no idea.
Of course not.
He's over in China.
Uh I love the ChaiComs.
I have to tell you, I love the ChaiCons.
They took Obama on a tour of the Forbidden City.
And they kicked everybody else out.
Obama did not get to go preen.
He did not get to pretend it was Berlin making a speech to 200,000.
Nobody saw him.
They do not allow political show boats over there.
I and uh, you know.
I mean, in one way, a number of ways I actually do have a kind of respect for the uh for the uh for the Chikoms.
So we we are to believe that Eric Holder consulted no other human being that has any position of responsibility in the government about creating the trial of the millennium in New York City, other than his wife and his brother.
Right.
Yeah, okay.
President Obama in China visiting the Chaicoms.
Our microphones were there.
And now, behind the scenes, as President Obama meets with the Chinese leadership.
I think we have had some very productive talks today.
We are very disappointed.
But I told you we weren't going to go through with the climate summit in Copenhagen, and that we were going to try to contain or control you.
And I bowed down to each and every one of you.
We are disappointed that you did not make someone like Sarah Perrin, your vice president instead of international joke.
Uh that is Joe Biden.
Someone who understands capitalism.
Uh keeping debt under control.
I told you we were going to try capitalism if this doesn't work out.
Uh you gotta give it a chance.
Uh uh how about Taiwan?
You want Taiwan?
President Obama visiting the Chikoms on his Asian trip.
Speaking of which, yesterday in Shanghai, President Obama held a town hall meeting with Chinese university students.
This is what our president said about our country.
It's very important for the United States not to assume that what is good for us is automatically good for somebody else.
We have to have some modesty about our attitudes towards other countries.
We think it's important, nevertheless, to be true to our ideals and our values.
And we when we do so, though, we will always do so with the humility and understanding that we are not perfect, and that we still have much progress to make.
Uh if you talk to women in America, they will tell you that there are still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society.
Yeah.
Okay, uh, President Barack Obama once again essentially saying, look, there's nothing special about our country.
I'm sorry that we've had presidents before me that have tried to impose such wonderful things as freedom, economic prosperity, capitalism, golden education opportunity.
We're sorry that we ever had anybody that tried to quote unquote impose that on you.
But we're through doing that.
We're not going to impose our ugly system based on free markets and capitalism and liberty.
We're not going to impose that on you anymore.
And we we're we're in fact, we're going to be humble.
We're going to realize here that we're actually not nearly as good as you are.
That we're certainly no better than you are.
And uh if I we we we we apologize here for all of the ways that we have offended you in the past, but those days are over now because I'm president and I'm not going to offend you.
I mean, we we haven't gotten much right in our own country anyway.
We're not perfect.
We still got a lot of progress to make.
If you talk to women in America, they'll tell you there's still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society.
Can I tell you how dead wrong he is about that?
What's happening in this country, Mr. President, is that the men of this country are becoming chickafied.
The Huffing and Puffington Post has a new section on that website where they explore why women are unhappy.
It is a daily thing, daily posts trying to explain why women are unhappy.
And they have posted this why men are becoming more like women.
Men's attitudes more and more resemble women's attitudes.
In 1977, for example, 72% of men believe that men should be the primary breadwinners, and women should be the primary caretakers of home and family.
Today, only 42% of men hold those opinions, which uh happens to be almost exactly the same as the percentage of women who feel that way.
Men's behaviors are becoming more and more like women's.
To know a culture, look to its heroes, goes the saying, and here too we see change and new models of leadership gone are the macho monarchs.
Jack Neutron Welch, George the Decider Bush, Michael Micromanager Eisner, and Carly the Fighter Fiorina.
In their place, we have a new style of leader, no less visionary, but more pragmatic, more conciliatory, building consensus.
Barack Obama, Mark Hurd at Disney Headquarters, Bob Iger, all of these guys that have become more and more like women are now said to be the real men of America.
It is simply the chickification, the feminization of our society.
That's what's happening, Mr. President.
And we're back.
Rush Limboy, a reminder, Sarah Palin at the top of the next hour will be a rare guest.
Her new book out today, going rogue.
It will set sales records.
We'll be talking to her for quite a while in the uh in the next hour.
I want to know what decade Barack Obama's living in.
Women in this country have more rights than women and most men anywhere else in the world.
Because they are Americans.
I want to know what day he every time he talks about human rights, he's over there pushing human rights to the chicoms.
Every time he talks about human rights, he gets on this notion that women are still downtrodden, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
And it ain't the case, as no less than the very liberal Huffing and Puffington Post.
Documents what's happening in our culture is that men are being neutered.
Men are thinking like women today.
Sturdly, you didn't hear this because you were screening calls, or did you hear it?
Okay, you heard.
Well, let me tell you something.
It's this is why men are becoming more like women in their recent special on State of Women, Time Magazine announced that the gender wars were over and then declared a tie.
It's no longer a man's world, Time concluded, nor is it a woman's nation.
It's a cooperative with bylaws under constant negotiation, expectations that profits will be equally shared.
Uh I'm not so sure, writes Marcus Buckingham, leading expert in personal strengths and best-selling author, posting at the Huffing and Puffington Post.
In a war, no matter the outcome of a certain skirmish or battle, the winner is the party whose attitudes, behaviors, and preoccupations come to dominate the post-war landscape.
By this measure, the outcome of the gender wars, if wars they were, is clear.
Women won.
Men's attitudes more and more resemble women's attitudes.
In 1977, for example, 72% of men believe that men should be the primary breadwinner.
Women should be the primary caretakers of home and family.
Today, only 42% of men think that.
Could we correlate that with the unemployment numbers?
You think there might be a little bit of a connection between sitting at home receiving unemployment checks and thinking it's not your job to be the primary breadwinner.
Think it might be a factor, folks.
Thirty-eight percent of women feel the same way.
That men should be the primary breadwinners.
Uh 42% of men, so it's it's almost a tie.
Men's behaviors, writes Marcus Buckingham, are becoming more and more like women's.
In 77, for example, here's the old benchmark, and this has always irritated me.
In 1977, men spent on average only six hours a week doing housework as compared to 21 hours for women.
Today, when it comes to the second shift, men look a lot like women.
Men now spend 13 hours a week on housework while women spend 17.
And this is called progress.
Well, there's an important factor to throw in here.
Yes.
These guys might be single.
Uh either that or they're living with their parents, and their parents are making them Clean their own room.
The war is over.
Women won and is ever to the victor go the spoils.
And what are the spoils of this particular war?
The spoils are choice.
Women have more choice than ever before in their work, home, and lifestyles.
And yes, men are becoming more like women, and so men are starting to face the same multitude of choices that women tackle.
That's just gobbledygook.
None of this, if if women have more choices than ever before in work, home, and lifestyle, why then does the Huffington Post have a site documenting and chronicling how unhappy they are?
Maybe it's because of all the choices.
And maybe so many choices leads to dissatisfaction with the choice you make.
Anyway, it just irritates me when Obama starts talking about all the discrimination women face in this country.
It's the exact opposite way around now.
I mean, even in case of childbirth, a guy has no say so in whether the child is born.
The husband has zip zero not a say so.
And we're we're we're led to believe here that uh not legally, I mean.
According to the law of the land, it's not anything to do with him.
Yet women somehow, in Obama's view, are discriminated against.
This must be the fact he knows Oprah very well, and obviously uh Michelle My Bell is um having uh quite a bit of influence on him here.
Uh Mark Maxie Shields, you gotta hear this.
Sunday morning, Washington, local Channel 7, inside Washington, Mark Maxie Shields said this about pres Did you get that?
Don Maxie.
Okay, here's uh Mark Shields.
Maxie Shields, a local Washington TV on Sunday.
We have a president of real intellectual horsepower who's cool, detached, and analytical.
And if anything, you can watch the emotional side of him emerge in this process.
There's an emotional aspect.
It's a comforter in chief as well as the commander in chief.
Both roles.
And I think it makes me nostalgic for those days when we had a manly man in the White House who could say, let's kick some tail and ask questions afterwards.
You know, that's what we really need instead of any reflection.
Now, uh somebody help me out here.
Is he being serious or is he joking?
Is joking?
Is he joking?
Uh if he's joking, he got it right.
There is no emotion, though, from Obama.
That he's not cool and calm.
He's cold.
He doesn't, he doesn't display any emotional connection to these people who have no jobs at all.
He displayed no emotional connection.
We went down there to Fort Hood to speak before the uh people down there after the uh after the uh the terrorist attack uh by the by the lone wolf down there, uh Hassan.
Oh, the latest about this guy, have you heard the latest about this guy?
He sought war crimes prosecutions of U.S. soldiers.
Major Nidal Malik Hassan's military superiors repeatedly ignored or rebuffed his efforts to open criminal prosecutions of soldiers he claimed had confessed to war crimes during psychiatric counseling, according to investigative reports circulated among federal law enforcement officials.
This story just keeps getting worse and worse and worse, and Obama will not provide witnesses for the Fort Hood hearing.
Obama does not want Congress to conduct any kind of investigation.
He wants to let the military examination of this go through.
He doesn't want a political show trial, he says.
Yet we're gonna bring the masterminds of 9-11 to New York for just that purpose.
A show trial.
The man's glaring inconsistencies are there for one and all to uh to see.
So now the latest, since so now we know that this guy was uh trying to get U.S. soldiers prosecuted for war crimes.
Now the drive-by's latest spin is he might have self-radicalized himself.
He might have self-radicalized, meaning he just all of a sudden woke up one day and said, You know what?
I'm a radical Islamist.
No Imam had anything to do with it.
No mask had anything to do with it.
No, this guy just snapped.
He decided he woke up one day, looked in the mirror.
I'm a radical.
That's the spin from the drive-by's Today.
So Mark Maxie Shields joking about wanting a manly guy in the White House.
Let's kick some tail and ask questions afterwards.
Here's David Patterson, a governor of New York.
Uh, yesterday, groundbreaking City University of New York and Hunter College.
This is what the governor said about the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Muhammad in New York City.
This is not a decision that I would have made.
It's very painful.
We're still having trouble getting over it.
We still have been unable to rebuild that site.
And having those terrorists tried so close to the attack is going to be an encumbrance on all of New Yorkers.
Uh Patterson, not a decision he would have made.
Now, didn't Obama tell Patterson to get off the ticket and not uh seek re-election because he was doing so badly in the polls.
I know I saw I know I saw somewhere last night that uh Patterson said he was told six months ago about this decision that a White House let him know that uh that this was coming.
You want to hear Dick Durbin's take on this during a press conference to talk about the possibility of bringing Guantanamo detainees to an Illinois prison.
You know, folks, these guys in Chicago are talking about all the job creation here.
All these new jobs will be created by bringing the Gitmo terrorists to Illinois.
Here's Dick Turbin.
1800 good paying jobs with full benefit packages is a dream come true for many families in that part of the state.
And then think of what those jobs lead to in terms of businesses, new schools, new hospitals, new libraries, new opportunities.
Do you believe this?
Bringing Gidmo terrorists to Thompson, Illinois will be a dream come true for the people there.
Look at the jobs with full benefit packages.
Oh new schools, new hospitals, new libraries, new opportunities.
So if I follow their logic on this, folks, and I do uh follow their logic, we need to import even more terrorists to create good jobs in America.
Seems to be the only way Democrats can think of to create jobs is to put terrorists in jails in our own country.
So what we need to do is go everywhere around the world where there are terrorists, wherever they're being held, and bring them here.
And start out fill ups fill up this prison in Illinois, then go somewhere else and look at all the jobs that'll be created.
So it seems to me that if the Democrats really want to talk about job creation, they need to sell the idea of importing more terrorists to the United States and putting them in prison.
Uh here's Durban, he was he was uh he was asked about the uh possibility of Chicago becoming a terrorist target.
Some of the criticism about this decision has crossed the line.
Talking about actual buildings as targets in Chicago, please.
That doesn't do us any good.
Speculation on where the terrorists might strike next.
Does that really help us as a nation?
I don't think it does.
Okay, then let's shut down the CIA.
Let's shut down every intelligence organization that's trying to find out where the next attack's gonna be, because that's really not the United States.
That that doesn't do us any good.
Speculation uh where terrorists might strike next.
Does that really help us as a name?
You believe these guys are saying this stuff.
It's just like the almost the tallest building in the country is only gonna be a hundred or so miles away from where these uh jihadists are being holed up.
But but forget all of that.
It doesn't do us any good as a nation.
Please, actual buildings as targets in Chicago, speculation where the terrorists might strike next.
That doesn't help us as a nation.
We gotta bring terrorists into country, uh job creation.
And uh no, find out where the terrorists could do you believe these guys are actually saying this stuff.
They are saying it.
The uh state controlled media is not reporting much of it, but we are.
Be right back.
Stay with us.
You know, I uh uh uh President Obama and oh, it's so bad in my country, the the way some men view women.
You know, Obama could have chosen a woman as his vice president, or he could have chosen Hillary, but he didn't.
He chose a nitwit.
He could have chosen a woman, but he did.
He chose a nitwit.
And Obama himself has a program for equality among the sexes.
Put everybody out of work, and both sexes are going to end up dirt poor.
That's how he's going to equalize things.
And for those of you women out there who have a lot of hope invested in Obamacare, a U.S. government group recommends that women delay getting regular mammograms until age 50 instead of 40.
The age at which the American Cancer Society has long advised women to begin screening for breast cancer.
The government group issued its new guidelines yesterday citing evidence that the benefits of regular screening do not justify the potential harms in younger women.
I'm appalled and horrified that Dr. David Dershaw, director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, in response to these new uh guidelines, there's no doubt mammography screening in women in their forties saves lives to recommend that women abandon that is absolutely horrifying to me.
Hello, Obamacare.
Here you have a government panel upping the age of mammograms to 50.
This is the beginning of rationed care.
Obamacare.
And he's out there, ladies and gentlemen, talking about the poor discrimination that women face brutes of men they have to deal with in the United States.
Naperville, Illinois.
Rick, welcome to the EIB network to grab a couple calls here, and you're first.
Rush Megamanly, Boy Scout Diddos from the land of the Ronald Reagan tollway of all things they name after the great man.
And uh my comment is first of all, I want to put up my Dick Turban shield right now because I'm much too close in the broadcast.
I was too close to all those foolish things that he was uttering right before I came on.
So no way I've ever voted for the man never would.
Uh but my comment earlier you were commenting on uh Sarah, I'm sorry, on the uh districts that did not exist where where the jobs were being counted.
And my statement on that is it's really an interesting contrast, and a very negative interesting contrast that things could be made up about things that you never said, and that things could be picked apart for Sarah Palin'u uh comments that you know they need eleven reporters to pick apart six different things, find six minor what they call discrepancies.
And while there's a huge discrepancy right in front of their eyes about things that don't exist that they're touting.
Well, uh, it's interesting.
Uh a lot of news is fake.
A lot of news is totally made up.
And if the if the made-up news is beneficial, they stick with it.
In this case, they're gonna stick with the fabricated districts because the focus is all the jobs created or saved.
And ah, the districts are wrong.
No, no, no.
That was bad input by citizens reporting to us.
But no, though we we've created and saved all these wonderful jobs.
So it's fake news, and that has become almost the foundation of modern day media.
William in Myrtle Beach, Florida.
Great to have you here on the program.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
God likes what you're doing.
That's what I thought when I looked at it.
Yes, hi.
Uh and I hope you'll make this point a little bit more clear than I will.
Well, I'm sure you will, but I was thinking about what you said about Senator Durbin's comments about new jobs, and I got to thinking these are public sector jobs.
Public sector jobs are in a way a form of redistribution of existing wealth because they don't create anything that's new.
So they take my tax money or somebody else's tax money, they create a public sector job with the tax money, which is what pays for it as a rule, and then that's money I would have I would have circulated in the economy anyway, so there's no real value add at all.
That's exactly right.
And I uh I couldn't say it much better than that.
I would just add one thing, and that is that all these new jobs working at the prison and the schools that are gonna be built for all the guards guarding the terrorists and all union jobs, aren't they?
Government union jobs.
So not only are they not private sector jobs, they are adding and swelling uh union roles.
S E I U, A F L C I O, which just means more campaign cash for the Democrats.
You know, it is kind of ironic, uh, Ladies and gentlemen, that President Obama over chatting with the ChICOMs dares talk about the discrimination women in America face.
I wonder I wonder what kind of rights, freedoms, equality ChICOM women have.
I wonder...
I wonder if he would say this the next time he bows down to the king of Saudi Arabia.
We are so screwed.
Top of the next hour, coming up in mere moments.
