Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Uh where is Snardley.
Nobody knows where Snerdley is.
I know I saw him earlier today.
Make sure he hasn't fallen asleep in there.
Ah!
Nice of you to show up, Snerdly.
Greetings, my friend.
Greetings and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, and this is the EIB Network.
Great to have you here on the fastest three hours in Media, the fastest week in Media.
We're rolling on.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program today is 800 282-2882.
The email address L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
Another Obama week.
Another half million Americans out of work.
The uh number of newly laid off workers seeking unemployment insurance unchanged last week, remaining above the level.
That would indicate the economy is adding jobs.
They're struggling so hard.
State-controlled associated press remaining above the level that would indicate the economy is adding jobs.
Still, new claims are down about 22% from the spring.
That's because so many people have given up.
The labor department said today that first-time claims for jobless benefits were a seasonally adjusted 500 5,000.
Uh the same as the previous week's revised figure and matching analysts' expect- Oh, so nobody was surprised this is the first.
Nobody was surprised.
Nobody was surprised.
I have I was the last time we've read a jobless report where the experts weren't surprised.
Mark this day down on the calendar.
It actually says here, um uh matching analysts' expectations.
Okay, so how's that hope and change working out for you?
Uh here's a little added data to this from Rasmussen.
Data from Rasmussen Reports National Telephone Survey shows that 15% of Democrats in the workforce are currently unemployed and looking for a job.
Uh among adults not affiliated with either major party, that number is 15.6%, while just 9.9% of Republicans are in the same situation.
So the uh the the story here is that Democrats and unaffiliated are more likely to be unemployed than Republicans are.
Democrats, women, and minorities, hardest hit.
Uh these findings are from interviews with 15,000 American American adults in October.
The numbers show an increase in all categories from earlier in the year.
The percentage of unemployed Democrats has grown less than a point from 14.2% in February.
But it's it's inching up almost a full point to 15% now.
I shouldn't be laughing.
I'm sorry, I should I shouldn't shouldn't be laughing.
But I mean.
And then um it's gonna be a long cold winter, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
One million workers could lose their unemployment benefits in January unless Congress extends aid.
More than a million people are gonna run out of unemployment benefits in January unless Congress quickly extends federal emergency aid, a non-profit group said on Wednesday.
So the pressure being brought to bear.
Does anybody doubt that we're going to extend unemployment benefits?
I don't.
This is exactly the agenda.
This is the point.
Get as many people as possible, depending on government.
And I'd say the more you extend unemployment benefits, the less.
This is human nature, the less people are going to look for work.
Uh, oh, and folks, I'm sorry to keep pounding you here with with the reality, but I must do it.
Uh, more than 14% of American homeowners with mo with a mortgage were either behind on their payments or in foreclosure at the end of September.
A record high for the ninth straight quarter, and a problem that could threaten the economic recovery.
Every every story contains this little the fig leaf of hope.
maybe there's a recovery going on, but this really could uh hamper that.
Uh the mortgage bankers association's report today adds to fears that the housing market and the broader recovery could be thwarted by the continuing surge in home loan defaults, especially as the unemployment rate keeps rising.
Lost jobs rather than the shady loans made during the housing boom are now the main reason homeowners fall behind on their mortgages.
Shady loans.
So now the subprime uh crisis is being referred to as shady loans.
And of course, we're supposed to be uh thinking that the banks are the ones who are shady here uh when it was just the banks who were forced uh to make these shady loans.
I thought this was fixed.
I really thought Obama had a program here to fix this.
We've got a website and uh oh, there's a related let me find the related story because it proves.
Yes, yes, I'm gonna get to health care.
Give it to I can't do everything in the first 15 minutes.
I got a lot of stuff on Reed's health care billets.
That's funny.
Where is this uh there's a I should have gotten this out of the bottom of the stack and put it up at the top, but it's basically uh all of these uh plans to help people pay their mortgages and so forth.
Not nearly, I think maybe 15% of the money's been authorized, is all there is, which just proves to me again that the whole thing is just a slush fund.
It's like 15% of the stimulus.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Found it.
And it's in no less than the uh CNN Money.com.
Obama mortgage rescue, only a few get lasting help.
Only a handful of homeowners are receiving permanent loan modifications under the Obama administration's foreclosure prevention plan.
That's the headline in the subhead.
Here's the here's the way the story starts out.
Only a tiny percentage of troubled homeowners have received permanent modifications under Obama's foreclosure plan, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the $75 billion effort.
When will the fact that Obama is helping no one anywhere filter through the haze that surrounds this man?
We've had 15% of the stimulus spent.
It's a slush fund.
And now what what per 1.2%, 1.26% of all trial adjustments were made permanent after three months.
Only 1.26%.
So this is that this 75 billion dollars here is just another slush fund.
The overall percentage is this less than 5% of the trial modifications on loans owned or guaranteed by Freddie Mack were converted to long-term adjustments as of September 30th.
So mortgage delinquencies hit a record high.
Obama mortgage rescue, only a few get lasting help.
Uh billions of dollars were allocated to fix this.
Not one thing, not one thing that he has done has resulted in a fix of anything.
At some point, at some point, that fact that he is helping no one anywhere has got to filter through the haze that surrounds him.
His hair is turning gray because of the pressure.
He's losing weight because of the pressure, just really not eating out there.
That's the uh story because he cares so deeply, you know.
He cares so deeply.
I mean, his heartaches over all of the pain is happening out there.
Now, this CNN story contradicts the AP story.
While the foreclosure rate has eased a bit recently, thanks in part to the growing number of people in trial modifications.
Some experts fear foreclosures will start rising again unless more people receive permanent assistance.
Uh mortgage delinquencies hit record high, is the AP story.
Uh record high.
Uh foreclosure rate uh eased a bit.
Now get this.
Experts fear foreclosures will start rising again unless more people receive permanent ass permanent assistance, permanent assistance.
Now, those of you who are in a mortgage who have a home in a mortgage and you're paying it.
Understand that there are experts out there who think others ought to have their mortgages permanently paid for by a plan that only has spent five percent of the money allocated to it.
So there there are slush funds all over this administration.
TARP is a slush fund, the uh stimulus package, a slush fund.
No question about that.
And now this this uh foreclosure plan, that's obviously a slush fund, too, because it's not being spent on the uh on the stated purpose.
Fox News opinion dynamics poll out just today.
Obama's approval rating, 46% in the Fox News opinion dynamic poll.
Uh the last period was October 27th and 28th.
He was at 50% uh approve and uh 41% disapprove.
This polling period is uh 900 registered voters, 17th and 18th of November, which is just the last couple of days, 46 approve, 46 disapprove.
8% don't know.
So he's under 50% in two polls now, Quinnipiac and the Fox News opinion dynamics poll.
Gallup has a just teetering there on the little teeter totter at 50%, and they're doing everything they can.
They're upping the sample of black Americans to keep him up at 50% in the uh in the Gallup poll.
Speaking of black Americans, the uh Reverend Dax, have you heard about this, Mr. Snoodley?
The Reverend Dax last night criticized Representative Arter Davis, Democrat Alabama, for voting against a Democrat's health care bill in the Senate or in the House.
The Reverend Dax said, we even have blacks voting against the health care bill.
You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man.
That's yeah, really Jesse Jackson, there he is, there he is, the arbiter of race in this country.
One of the two experts on race that the state controlled media constantly turns to to find out where we are in this country in the uh matter of race relations.
The remark stirred a murmur at a uh at a reception Wednesday night held by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation as part of a series of events revolving around the 25th anniversary of Jackson's run for president.
Do you believe this?
Life is just one big party to this guy.
They had a they had a party to celebrate the anniversary of Million Man March, and now they had a party to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Reverend Dax's presidential campaign.
Are we gonna get a 10-year anniversary for Al Sharpton's?
Everything is black and white in the Reverend Jackson's constricted world.
Now, Pete Rosell.
Uh well, Pete Rosell, you mean Roger Goodell.
Uh Pete Pete Rosell uh uh, you know, is up with a great gridiron in the sky.
Uh is Roger Goodell weighed in this?
Yeah, I don't know.
I haven't, I don't know that he knows about it yet, but uh uh Jesse Jackson, you can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man.
You can be a black man, uh, but you can't call yourself one.
The reception celebrating the 25th anniversary of Jackson's run for president, though, is not to be confused with Mr. Jackson's birthday celebration, which was Friday, November 13th, 2009, which was held in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
So less than a week ago, there was a birthday party for the uh Reverend Dax, and then there was a reception six days later, five days later, for the 25th anniversary of his run for president.
Uh for some people, life, I guess, is just one big party.
And I wonder, can you throw so many parties for yourself as this guy does and still call yourself a black man?
I have a question.
I have I have a question, and I must ask this question of the official Obama criticizer.
So could you suspend the call screening for a second?
I don't expect an immediate answer.
I know you're gonna have to ponder this one.
But uh because the official Obama criticizer is certified uh black enough to criticize.
Uh, what percentage of slave blood do you say you have one hundred percent pure organic slave blood?
Uh uh flowing through the magnificence of Bo Snerdley.
All right, so here's the question.
Can you knock up a woman who works for you while you're married, and then pay her out of your nonprofits' funds to keep quiet and call yourself a black man.
You can do that.
It's been done.
It Jesse Jackson, that's right, Jesse Jackson.
Oh.
See, this is why we have the official Obama criticizer on our staff.
I knew, I knew, I thought it might take some research on your part.
The official Obama criticizer reminds us that yes, Jesse Jackson has done this.
But and I I and he can call himself a black trailblazer.
It's right.
He can call himself a black man uh because he's for health care reform.
Right.
And he knocked up a woman uh while he was married, it was working for him, and paid her to keep quiet uh from the funds out of his nonprofit, the monochrome coalition.
Okay.
This program, folks, if we have questions, this program gets answers.
By the way, AOL plans to cut one third of employees, about 2300 employees, more saving and creating jobs going on out there uh in this country thanks to the policies of the uh Reverend Jackson.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have something.
We're gonna post this at rushlimbaud.com immediately.
A webmaster is waiting on it.
Al Gore has a new book out.
It's called Our Choice, a plan to solve the the climate crisis.
And uh this book, uh, according to our official climatologist here, Dr. Roy Spencer, uh, University of Alabama at Huntsville, formerly of uh NASA.
Dr. Spencer tells me that this Gore book is a metaphor for his twisting of reality to suit his needs.
He took some NASA imagery of the earth and photoshopped the following into it.
And we've got a website here with both pictures.
The original uh snapshot of the earth from NASA, and in the way Gore photoshopped it.
And here's what's on the picture that's photoshopped four hurricanes that were not there.
The hurricane closest to Florida is spinning in the wrong direction.
The hurricane off of South America is almost on the equator, which is physically impossible for hurricanes.
All of the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is removed, but snow cover over Canada and Alaska remains.
Cuba in Gore's photoshopped picture of the Earth.
Cuba doesn't exist.
It is not there.
Cuba is totally underwater, which would require a sea level rise of over 6,000 feet, which means Denver would be underwater as well.
If Cuba is underwater, so so would be Denver.
Now, half of the Greenland ice sheet is gone, but it's out of the center, the thickest part, rather than around the edges where it's the thinnest.
It's a joke.
This man is an absolute joke.
He's photoshopped a picture of the earth, and the website where this is uh uh taking place is PrisonPlanet.com.
That's where we have the pictures side by side from Gore's book, Our Choice.
Uh I think the same people are doing people photo chop photoshop the Obama jobs numbers.
Jobs created or saved.
The recovery.gov, uh what have you.
I want you to listen.
Let me check the sound like if I have time to squeeze this in.
We do.
Uh I want you to listen to this.
This sets up what's coming next.
September 27, 2006, Washington, D.C., Senator Barack Obama on the Senate floor.
The irony of the underlying bill, as it's written, is that someone like Khalid Sheikh Muhammad is gonna get basically a full military trial with all the bells and whistles.
He's gonna have counsel, he's gonna be able to present evidence, he's gonna be able to rebut the government's case because the feeling is is that he's guilty of a war crime and to do otherwise might violate some of our agreements under the Geneva Convention.
I think that's good that we're gonna provide him with some procedure and process.
I think we will convict him, and I think he will be brought to justice.
I think uh justice will be carried out.
Again, now that's September 27, 2006, when Obama was still the Senate.
Did you catch the drift of that?
In this, Obama is supporting a full military commission trial, a military tribunal.
He's in full support of it because he's convinced it'll be fair.
He's also convinced the guy is guilty.
I guess Eric Holder didn't see this video.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Hey, did you people here, did you hear that Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Secretary, is blaming Bush appointees, Bush administration officials for the uh mammogram change uh screening from 40 to 50?
And wait till you hear the details of this story.
The the government is essentially saying now that it will not uh uh uh implement its own guidelines because there's been such an outcry uh over this.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, uh I want to turn to the uh the the Khalid Sheikh Muhammad trial for uh just a moment here.
There are two things out there.
First, there's a uh a story in the uh the Hill.com from concerning former Attorney General Ashcroft, and let me just read you some excerpts of what Ashcroft said in this story.
Attorney General Eric Holder lacks authority to make a decision on moving terror detainees to civilian courts for trial.
Former Attorney General John Ashcroft, who held his position during the Bush administration from 2001 to 2005, said that Eric Holder lacked the legal standing to decide to move alleged 9-11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Why what is alleged?
Obama's already pronounced him guilty.
The guy's already confessed.
What is this alleged business?
Anyway, the Attorney General doesn't have the authority to mandate that the Secretary of Defense turn somebody over to him and yield jurisdiction so that something that would have been done in a military setting is done in a civilian setting.
Now, this happened on a talk show in Kansas City, where Ashcroft made these statements.
And a lot of people uh I think people sent me notes about this, a lot of people did, and I think a lot of people misunderstanding uh this.
Ashcroft is essentially saying it wasn't Holder's decision because Holder can't make it.
Therefore, what we have said all along, it was Obama's decision.
Obama can do whatever he wants.
He's the president.
He can order anybody military out of a uh of a prison and in a military to a civilian court.
He can do it.
Holder can't, but he can only do it on Obama's authority, and that's the point.
Because Holders out there saying it Obama didn't know anything about it until the decision was made, which is all BS because the governor of New York, David Patterson, let it slip that he was told six months ago that this was gonna be the decision from the White House.
So what they're doing is continuing to give uh Obama plausible deniability on this, they're dumping it all on Holder.
But the point is that Holder can't do it on his own, which I think is Ashcroft's point if you read the whole story.
Um the if if if they disagreed, for example, Obama would have to resolve it.
Let's say that two members of the administration, Holder and somebody else, uh, want to bring these terrorists up to New York for a civilian trial.
Somebody else is, no.
Let's say it's Gates, Secretary of Defense.
No, you can't take him out of there.
Obama would have to resolve it.
Neither one of those two guys can make the call.
Now, they've been considering this for ten months.
Everybody knows where everybody stands.
If Obama told Holder to make the decision, he was effectively making the decision himself.
It boils down to the fact that Holder is lying.
And everybody else in the administration is lying about this when they say that it was Holder's decision.
And that Holder consulted his wife and uh his brother, uh, who was a cop in the Port Authority uh back when this all happened.
So it's just it's it's uh it's a mountain out of a molehill, but it's just, I think it's another way to get around the, or get to the truth that this was Obama's decision.
And here's even here's even more evidence of it.
There was a great, there was a great time, a great segment yesterday, when Lindsey Graham was questioning Eric Holder.
Senator Graham said, Here's my concern.
Can you give me a case?
And by the way, Lindsey Graham hit on what I talked about on this program yesterday at just about this time.
What's the precedent?
Whose rules are going to be used here?
What rules are we going to use to try these guys?
Where's the precedent for this?
Well, Lindsey Graham raised that.
Can you give me a case?
He asked Holder.
In United States history where an enemy combatant caught on a battlefield was tried in civilian court.
Holder said, I don't know.
I'd have I'd have to look at that.
I think that you know the determination I've made.
Uh and Lindsey Graham's interrupted him and said, We're making history here, Mr. Attorney General.
I'll answer it for you.
The answer is no.
Holder said, Well, I think, Senator Graham, the Galani case, he was indicted for the coal bombing before 9-11, and I didn't object to it going into federal court, but I'm telling you right now, we're making history and we're making bad history.
As my learned colleague Andy McCarthy points out, how in the world could Eric Holder, the attorney general, not know the answer to this question.
Because anybody, those of you in the law know that stock and trade in your profession is precedent.
You go there, you find whether you're a prosecutor, whether you're any other lawyer faced with a policy question, the first thing you want to know is what does the law say on the subject.
Has this come up before?
Are there prior cases on point?
What have the courts had to say?
Those are the first questions you ask always.
And Holder didn't.
How could he be stumped by the question?
Lindsey Graham said, Have you ever done this?
Have we ever had an enemy combatant caught on a battlefield tried in a civilian court?
Holder didn't know.
Yet he said that he studied and agonized over this decision.
And if he did, this would have been the first issue he'd have considered.
The fact that there's no legal precedent for what he wanted to do.
Look at it this way.
If there was a single case in American history that supported what Holder wants to do here.
Obama, forget Holder.
This this is this is further evidence.
Let me just nail a coffin shut on this.
This is more evidence, this whole thing is a political and not policy decision.
If it were policy, if it were legal, they would have gone and tried to find precedent.
Had they been able to find a precedent.
That's all they'd be talking about, and the media would be shouting it from the rooftops.
Oh, yeah, we've done this before.
Oh, this is not unprecedented.
We've had one case, two cases, whatever it would have been, but there aren't any.
And the fact that Holder didn't even bother to find out means that this whole thing is political.
It has been decided by Obama, and it has as its purpose something other than the conviction of these masterminds.
There's something else afoot here.
It is insidious.
I've known it since the first this that this happened, and you and I have discussed this since it was first made public.
This is the Obama administration, which runs around the world apologizing for this country.
He sees this country the same way a third world socialist dictator does.
That's the lens through which he sees the United States of America.
And he wants this country to be on trial, so he sends his attorney general out there claiming the attorney general made the decision after a long, agonizing moments, after eight years of delay in the Bush administration, yada yada yada yada yada.
And can't even cite one example where it has been done before.
Because he didn't look.
And the reason he didn't look is because this is not legal.
This is not about policy.
It is pure Obama administration politics.
Back after the You know, every day, every day, ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama is uh showing more and more who he really is.
We are learning who Obama is every day.
This this uh decision to bring these terrorists to New York for this trial.
I I referred to it moments ago as as uh politics.
What I actually meant to say uh is ideology.
The politics appears to be bad given the polls, but it is ideology.
Believe me when I tell you, Barack Obama and Eric Holder have uh the mentality of the ACLU.
Remember the original goal of the ACLU was to totally break down the U.S. justice system.
That was the original objective.
That's why they were that's why they formed.
Obama and Eric Holder are the highest officials in a society they do not like, and they do not trust.
They wish to change it, whether the public likes it or not.
Obama, I think it's Victor Davis Hanson who said it.
Obama's view of the United States is no different than that of a third world Marxist dictator.
That's how he views this country.
Immoral, unjust, evil, unequal, discriminatory, all of those things.
With every passing day, ladies and gentlemen, the core beliefs of Obama, Eric Holder, everybody in this administration are revealed.
Damn the public, damn national security, full steam ahead.
We're gonna fix what we find wrong about this country.
Now we're gonna fix it with like the Fox News opinion dynamic full, 46% approval.
A guy sent that to me today and said, uh, I wrote him back.
So you think they're bothered by this?
Do you think they care?
I'm sure Obama cares personally because he's a narcissist, but in terms of uh whether it's gonna alter what their policies are, hell no, they couldn't care less what the public thinks.
If they cared what the public thinks, they wouldn't be doing any of what they're doing.
Learn that.
If they cared, they wouldn't, they wouldn't do one thing as they have done it.
All right, to the phones quickly.
This is Katie from uh Parts Unknown in the Northeast.
Hello.
Hi, Rush, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Hi.
Um I spoke to you once before.
I'm a conservative, I'm also a newspaper reporter.
Um I'm now an unemployed conservative newspaper reporter.
It has nothing to do with my politics because nobody knows about it.
I have to keep it a deep dark secret.
Right, I remember.
Yeah.
Okay, I got a question for you.
I was just driving home in um where?
Pardon?
From where, since you're out of work.
If I told you it would be too embarrassing.
Well, it was a no, it's not like that.
I'm not I'm not re I'm not worrying myself quite yet.
Um anyway, that here's my uh I heard you say something before that just really annoyed me.
You said something about um unemployment and about all these extensions for unemployment, that all these extensions are discouraging people from looking for work.
You have got to be kidding.
You've got to be kidding.
You but what do you think?
People are sitting back and you know, like enjoying all this time off when nobody has any idea if they're gonna be able to get a job.
I mean, granted.
Wait, wait, let me finish, okay?
Granted, my particular industry is dead, okay, and they committed suicide.
I understand that.
But my brother just got laid off two weeks ago, okay, and he and in his in the building he was in, um, Comcast laid off their entire workforce in that the in that floor.
Yeah, and they're by an NBC.
I don't give a damn.
I mean, all I'm sure about is like where how am I gonna get a job?
How's he gonna get a job?
I mean, how are we gonna work and I still have a mortgage to pay?
I mean, come on, Rush.
It hasn't been that long since he got fired.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
It hasn't been that long since you got fired.
Would you stop snickering?
It's really good aesthetics I feel like your husband.
I'm trying to get a word in edgewise.
My husband died.
You won't let me speak.
Look, I didn't know.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry.
You've got you've got more money than God, okay?
Are you starting a newspaper?
No, of course not.
Okay, it's like invest in a dying industry.
Because it's because newspapers are important.
It's important for people to get good solid information that they can rely on.
Yeah, and they're not, which is why so many of them are losing subscribers, circulation, advertising dollars, and all of that.
Yeah, I know that.
Okay, but so what?
I mean, you've got money to waste.
Come on, I mean, don't be so damn cheap.
Oh, and by the way, one other thing, you always keep saying that that you know, this whole big thing was supposed to be that you wanted Obama to fail.
Damn, I said that on election day.
You mean you must be like listening to me or something.
And I said it for the same reason everybody's oh, you look so evil and stuff.
Well, are you accusing me of stealing that?
Yes, I sometimes I wonder if you ever have possibly stolen it from you.
Because we talk about you.
We because we talk about this stuff on AOL.
AOL still has chat rooms, and they have conservative chat rooms, and we talk about this, and I said it on election day, and people I know there for years.
Go to AOL chat rooms.
Do you think I have time to waste as well as money to waste?
Sure.
Running around on AOL chat rooms?
Sure.
Because we will, to be honest, we are pretty blind to have to sit back and listen.
I'm under assault.
You have accused me of saying unflattering things about the unemployed.
You haven't you say it.
You haven't given me a chance to respond.
Excuse me, you did say it.
Now you're accusing me of plagiarism.
Play how can it be plagiarism?
Okay, we're speaking.
Why, because it's written?
Okay, it's considered to be spoken chat, even though it's written.
Okay, I'm sorry, like look, I think you do like a lot of r you do a lot of really amazing and good stuff, okay?
But it's like you have to remember yeah, okay, don't get too flattered, okay?
You you know, you can't like sit back, okay, and make all these like ridiculous like statements about people who are unemployed as is if they're sitting back on vacation, you know.
We're not like you and Palm Beach or wherever the hell you are.
I mean, you know, like don't you ever like to get fired?
I mean, you know, like the eighty-seven times you got fired.
I mean, remember us?
Okay, Katie, Katie, Katie.
Just give me thirty seconds.
I can do it in thirty seconds.
I can count.
Go on.
One, two, thank you.
Three.
I've been fired seven times.
That's all?
That's all.
Really?
How many times you've been fired?
Once.
Okay.
Well, but it was for political reasons.
Well, who cares?
The reason I've been fired seven or eight times.
I've lost count.
As to the unemployed...
Yeah.
I can cite for you countless stories that I have reported on this program, reported by state controlled associated press on people who are no longer looking for work and they're happy about it, and they are finding it, they're getting more.
What do they do for money?
They're getting more They're unemployment compensation benefits.
And then what did they do when that runs out?
They haven't faced that yet.
Oh, there are some people that aren't going to be able to get extensions for unemployment.
I saw that in Fox News earlier today.
Yeah, I don't believe that.
I think they'll extend this as what Obama wants.
Obama wants as many people totally supported by government as he can get.
That will fulfill his agenda.
But there are people.
Look, Katie, there are people.
I'm scared to death.
There well, you know, you have ambition.
There are some people who have been looking for work so long they've given up because there's nothing to find out there.
How do you give up when when you need money, okay?
I'm not the right I'm not the right uh socioeconomic uh melanin content skin color in order to be able to get white welfare.
It's not gonna happen for me.
What do I do?
Wait a second.
What are you saying now?
Oh that's a racist comment you just made.
Racist, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
No, it's not.
I've a hope rested Jeffy Jackson's not listening here.
Look, I'm sorry.
I mean, what what am I and I'll I'll kill myself before I do welfare, okay?
That's never happening.
All right, but what am I supposed to do?
I mean, I'm like I've won awards for my reporting.
I'm a damn good reporter.
Okay, I am great when it comes to digging into stuff and everything, and no, I don't want to work for Vox News.
Are you willing to move?
I have a house.
And I have a brother.
My brother's not going to move.
Well and my husband you're what y Katie, this is gonna sound cruel to you, but realize something.
Most of the limitations we put on ourselves are the ones we put ourselves.
Most of the limitations we face in life are those we place on ourselves.
If you're not willing to move, your chances for work are severely restricted.
It's just the way it is.
I asked Katie for 30 seconds, and she gave me four.
So, Katie, I know you're still out there.
And I'll tell you what, at the monologue segment, the beginning of the next hour, a few short minutes from now, I'm going to reply to you, and I want you to listen.
I want you to listen carefully.
Because you need to learn a few things out there.
And yes, I am going to speak to you in that way.
And you need to learn that there are things that you don't understand about human nature.
