Oh no.
The company that owns the Dubai ports can't pay its bills.
Dobai World has asked for a debt standstill.
Now, if those oil sheiks that own the Dubai Ports deal can't pay their bills.
What does that say about the recovery?
I don't know if Obama bail them out.
Uh greetings, uh, welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh here, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies, uh telephone number 80082-2882, the email address.
Lrushbaugh at EIB net.com.
How about how about that federal census worker who killed himself and tried to make it look like he had been killed by Tea Party conservatives?
He arranged he hanged himself.
The cops finally found out that it would the whole thing was a uh an attempt to make it look like murder.
He had painted the word Fed on his chest.
This is in Kentucky.
Um he was trying, he was trying to get money.
He's trying to get $10,000, I think, trying for financial gain, uh, and give political ammunition to the radical left.
And uh said the media fell for it hook line and sinker.
It would fit the template perfectly.
So it ran around sort of blaming talk show hosts in Kentucky and uh various elements of the Tea Party movement.
And now we find out, just as in the Duke Lacrosse case, the whole thing was not as it was portrayed.
Will there be any apologies forthcoming?
Unlikely.
I got an email.
An angry woman.
Dear Rush, and the main her name is Ashley.
Uh one of my all-time top ten favorite female names, by the way, when it's a woman's name.
Uh dear Rush.
How dare you?
How dare you use the term chickification to describe what has happened to the military due primarily to the men at the top.
As a woman, I would never give in to political correctness over the lives of our soldiers.
I have a son in Iraq.
What's happened to the military has nothing to do with chickenfication.
I'm really tired of hearing the term Ashley.
Well, I guess I've had my being yelled at for today, so we got it out of the way.
It happens at least once a day.
Uh maybe she doesn't understand what I mean by chickification.
Chickification is exactly what the uh the SEAL TIM member SEAL team member described with the the tail hook situation and so forth.
But I nevertheless, I understand what she's talking about, but let me tell you something.
Um chikification means precisely men stop being men.
They've been neutered, and they uh just it results from a number of things.
Nagging, uh in this case, not nagging, but in this case it it it c it results from clearly these guys saw the way to the top is PC.
After tail hook.
That's the way to the top, PC.
PC is destroying this country's destroying institutions left and right.
And by the way, the spin on Afghanistan has begun in advance of President Obama and his trip to West Point to announce his great war strategy for Afghanistan.
I asked earlier, I wonder if the Army will detain him while he's there.
It's a dream.
Uh no, it won't happen.
But get there, wasn't it just last week?
Snerdley helped me out on this.
Wasn't it just last week that the people of this country were against the war?
In growing numbers.
They were against the war because there was no s no no nobody had a strategy.
There didn't seem to be any reason we were there, and the uh the support for being there was was eroded.
War fatigue, I mean it was plummeting.
Well, guess what?
Guess what now, folks?
It's a miracle.
Enriam Mitchell, NBC News in Washington on MSNBC this afternoon talking with the White House correspondent Savannah Guthrie.
There is in this latest, the newest Gallup poll today, some encouraging news for the White House that there is more public support, at least for adding troops.
For adding 40,000 more is up two points, less than 40,000 up three percentage points, reducing the numbers down five percentage points.
There's more people now favoring than disfavoring sending more troops.
Yes, and then this has to hearten the White House to see that trend.
Isn't this a miracle?
Isn't this a miracle?
Before the president has even announced his strategy.
Support for more troops is on the rise in the Gallup poll.
A highly shouted there by Savannah Guthrie and Andrea Mitchell, NBC News.
Ladies and gentlemen, on Saturday is a college football game.
3:30 in the afternoon.
It's an annual game.
The Mizzou Tigers against the Kansas Jayhawks.
This is a real rivalry.
It is a real border war.
It has roots.
Normally this game is played at night, but this year the two teams are not really going anywhere, so they've moved the game to 3:30 in the afternoon.
I think it's being played at Airhead Stadium in uh in Kansas City.
But I want to talk to all of you in Kansas right now.
Because if you care about your country, everybody in America roots for Mizzou on Saturday afternoon.
And here's why.
The University of Missouri is opposing federal legislation that would put caps on its greenhouse gas emissions because those limits would cost millions, according to the University of Missouri System President Gary Forsey.
He has said this in a letter to federal lawmakers.
Given the impact of such unattainable increases on the university's already hard-pressed budget, we urge you to oppose these bills or ensure that specific exemptions are included publicly.
He sent this to Missouri's entire congressional delegation.
Cap and trade legislation has already passed the House.
It's passed out of the Senate Environment Committee this month.
The bill would require industries to limit greenhouse gas emissions in a phased-in process starting in 2012 and running through 2050.
I have I have friends that live in Kansas, and I know that they are going to overwhelmingly support Mizzou.
Saturday afternoon.
This is a gutsy move for Gary Forcy to make.
Because colleges all over the country basically beg for money.
They beg for money, even if they got a successful football program, they're out there begging for money.
And who do you beg for money from?
Members of Congress.
And yet Forcy is putting his university and the state and even the country ahead of uh of you know what might otherwise be a personal pursuit to go out and make a deal to get some money here.
This is this is a really gutsy and courageous move.
And I don't want to say too much about it, uh, more than I already have, because um uh I like Gary Forcy, and I don't I don't want to harm his reputation by having it be said that uh know him and then uh went to school with him, and uh really like what he's doing here.
Well, I guess I just did.
Um, Sarah Obama, U.S. President Barack Obama's 87-year-old Kenyan grandmother.
This is the one that just had the electricity lines run to her hut.
Sarah Obama, 87-year-old Kenyan grandmother, has arrived in Mecca to perform the Muslim pilgrimage of the Hajj.
According to the Saudi Daily Okaz, the Saudi uh Sarah Obama, one of her grandchildren, and ten people from her village in Kenya made the pilgrimage at the invitation of the king of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, that would be King Abdullah.
The Saudi monarch invites Muslims from around the world to make the pilgrimage at his expense every year.
Among his nearly 3,000 guests this year, almost 2,000 are relatives of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
So it looks like Mr. Obama's Bow to the Saudi King has paid off.
Ladies and gentlemen, uh let me clarify one thing and remind you, in the in the next half hour of the program, uh the traditional real true story of Thanksgiving.
And George Washington's first Thanksgiving address.
Um for those of you uh uh liberals out there listening to the program, and you know who you are.
We know who you are.
We know you're there.
I just want it known.
I did not consult Gary Forcy, nor did he consult me before writing his letter to the Missouri congressional delegation asking them to stop Cap and Trade.
I had no idea he was doing it until I saw the news story.
ABC has just released breaking news.
I have it.
The Queen of Daytime will interview the president of the country during an ABC holiday special that brings together Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.
The network has announced Christmas at the White House, an Oprah prime time special, which includes an interview with the president, a conversation with the first couple, and a tour of the White House.
The special marks the first time Winfrey has interviewed Obama since he took office.
Christmas at the White House will air Sunday, December 13th at 10 p.m.
Hang on just a second.
I gotta look something up real quick.
Hang on just a second, folks.
Stick with me.
I gotta look the NFL schedule up and find out who's playing that night, because I want to find out real quick what the numbers are gonna be for this Oprah show.
Schedule.
There it is.
Hang on, folks, it's coming up real fast here.
Uh December 13th, nighttime.
Philadelphia at the New York Giants.
Philadelphia, two big markets, Philadelphia at the New York Giants.
Oh, then uh Snerdley with a question.
Well, maybe pose it to you.
Even if there was no football, who would watch Oprah Winfrey and Obama?
Right.
Who wants to see that?
Obviously, ABC thinks everybody does.
Here's uh Lawrence in St. Petersburg, Florida.
It's great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It's a pleasure and an honor to speak to the great one.
Thank you, sir.
I bow to you.
Um no one bows to me.
I don't I don't uh I don't tolerate that.
Well, uh uh please accept it.
Um in regards to your pet peeve on the Ponzi scheme, the climate hoax.
How long do you think the uh Republicans will be before they get out there and uh and uh move the ball forward with this opportunity and uh and uh speak their peace.
Well they've been duped.
Well, one of them has, Senator James Inhoff is we're gonna he's gonna call uh when his committee for an investigation in the Senate.
Now the Democrats are on the committee, so we'll see how far it gets, but he's he's uh he's gonna try to get to the bottom of it.
You can ask that question on a number of things.
Um where the Republicans on health care, where the republic Republicans on Cap and Trade.
Uh I I think that there is at still at this remember, we're not even a year into this kingdom.
And I uh the there's still a great fear of criticizing Obama because they're gonna turn around and call you racist.
And those they are doing that now, sir, but uh uh uh I believe that if the Republicans uh are in conservatives want to uh uh take back the the country, uh they need to uh blow their horns now and let people know that they're not going along together.
Hey, I agree.
I said that yes earlier in this show.
It's time get on every television show you can.
The Global Warming Hawks is the perfect platform to get on the radio, on the TV, anywhere you can and start denouncing the entire liberal agenda.
We're on the same page out there, sir.
Therefore, I accept your bow.
Spokane Washington, Greg, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
God bless you, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I'm an Iraq veteran.
My grandpa was a Pearl Harbor survivor, and I re-enlisted after 9-11 and had uh debilitating post-war trauma due in part to uh candidate Obama's efforts to secure defeat.
So I wanted to thank you for your inspiration to persevere because of your own efforts on being fired a number of times.
Uh I ultimately got up off my back and found healing by transforming trauma into uh handmade wrought iron beauty, so thanks, Rush.
Well, thank you, sir.
uh uh happy Thanksgiving.
Oh, and likewise, thank you very much.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your support of the troops.
Uh well, thank you, but it's you know, it's it's uh all of us who um daily thank you.
And all the rest of your um people, brethren sister and whatever in the military.
Rick and Reno, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush been trying to get a hold of you since the twelfth.
Send you an email.
I had a birthday on the eleventh of November, turned sixty-fourth.
Happy birthday, sir.
I finally got my wife listening to you, and on that date, that also was our thirty-first anniversary.
And uh she said, Guess what?
Rush has convinced me that the sleep number bed we need, we uh we're going to get another one.
So I have an IOU from her that prior to Christmas she's gonna end up ordering a brand new pillow top sleep number bed.
So not only do I need to thank you for all the things that you end up doing for all of us, and and every day Rush, I thank God that we have a day like tomorrow when we can all kind of get together and say thank you for all of the things that we have in this country.
And I think that a lot of those things are brought daily from you to show us what we really have here.
Well, th uh thank you very much, sir.
You got you love the bed, but I I uh and what uh what what did you do to uh or what did I do, rather to bring your wife around.
Well, I'll tell you she retired two years ago and she never listens to the radio very much.
Uh when she worked at the location she worked at, it was always on a music station because that was what everyone else worked uh listened to.
I've listened to you uh because in my job I have an office, and so consequently I listen to you every day and have ever since you've been on the radio.
And uh so I finally convinced her at home, I said, You need to end up listening to Rush on a daily basis.
We talk about you.
We both have the same ideas that you have, and uh she finally started uh she uh during her retirement would end up leaving the radio on, so when she's outside, whatever she's doing, she'd come back in and you'd be on.
She found herself listening to you more and more and uh was very thankful that I had ended up telling you that.
Then one day she she heard you speaking, uh I I don't know whether it was an advertisement or what it was about the sleep number.
Uh a number of years ago I got the uh the I believe it's the one thousand series.
So anyhow she had had some problems with it.
I was never able to get it adjusted correctly to her, and she kept saying, Well, maybe it's the fact it's not a pillowtop, and so anyhow, when she heard you talking about it and how great it was, she decided that that's what she wanted to get for.
The what, sir?
The husbands never know anything.
I do know that my side is working quite well.
Well, do you have d do you take Zycam?
No, sir.
Oh.
Don't need to.
Oh, you don't get colds.
No, sir.
You don't even have it around in case you gotta get a cold?
Well, you know, I do think that I have some in my cupboard, but it's probably been there for about five or six years.
Now, we're talking about that also.
Hold on to it, it's golden.
I mean, that's a stuff's good.
That's gonna be a good thing.
Oh no, it w it works just as well.
Uh but the the you got the gel swabs, right?
Yes, sir.
Yes, they go right in the rhino virus area there, right in the in the nostrils.
Yes, sir.
Um if you're Henry Waxman, it's easier to use than if you're not.
Well, all I can say, Rush, is thank you very much.
Uh uh, my wife asked me back in nineteen seventy-eight what I wanted for my birthday, and I said I'd like to end up uh having you as my wife.
And we've been going together for about a year and a half at that time, and she said, Why do you want to get married on your birthday?
So you don't forget your anniversary, and I said no.
I said, I really just don't want to continue to remember my birthday.
And uh I d I didn't feel there was any need to celebrate my birthday, so after thirty-one happy years.
Oh, by the way, that's the last time I asked her for anything for my birthday, just so you know.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, you shouldn't have to ask for anything.
Well, I figured that that was enough, you know.
But uh we've we've got thirty-one years in, and uh and uh two beautiful grandkids, uh grandboys, and matter of fact, they uh whenever they come over, they want to sleep on that bed also because they run the thing down to about twenty-five and they enjoy it while it's so soft.
So thanks for calling.
This is look at you you've made my day here.
All every everybody that's uh that Snerdlies put on here that uh uh thanking me, it's it's I I appreciate it more than uh more than you will ever know.
And do not throw that Zygam out and keep it with you because this is it's what's gonna happen.
He just he just you just angered the cold gods.
You just said you never get a cold.
The cold gods don't like that.
It's sort of like when you're out playing golf and you hit a great shot, and you say, I got this game figured out.
The golf gods nail you on your next swing.
So the cold gods are gonna get this guy.
Then he's got to have it around.
You should have it around too, at the first sign you think you're getting a cold.
Take it.
There's a couple different forms, lots of different flavors, works.
It'll it'll it'll it'll reduce the severity and the length of time you have the cold.
Is there something going on in there?
You're done Oh, phones are ringing all over the place.
Well, I can't hear it because I'm in the closed off uh studio.
Sally Quinn, uh, ladies and gentlemen, audio soundbite number nineteen, Mike, can we get back?
Sally Quinn was on Larry King Alive last night, and the way she described the crowd at the state dinner in the tent at the White House, had I said it, was she said I would be taken out of context and run out of this country.
Reminds me, I gotta find that unprecedented story.
Yeah, here it is.
I gotta get that in here before this program ends today, because this is a the White House's unprecedented use of unprecedented uh politico dot com, which reminds me how how come uh the Oprah was not at the unprecedented White House state dinner in the unprecedented tent last night.
The Oprah's uh uh friend Gail King was there, but no the Oprah.
I think it's unprecedented that the unprecedented queen, the Oprah, was not at the unprecedented dinner of the unprecedented uh uh first black president in the unprecedented first tent.
Uh here's Sally Quinn, and I hope, I really hope Sally Quinn does not have any desires of owning a national football league team.
There are also a lot of African Americans on this guest list, which I I have not seen that many before, and I think that that obviously is a statement that they're making.
And then, you know, there's a tip of the hat to the Hollywood and Bollywood.
I mean, that the Indians have their own film industry.
And awful lot of um of big donors, too.
Now can you imagine if I had said that?
If I'm looking at the guest list, how does she know looking at a guest list?
How does she know looking at the guest list?
She's profiling.
She's profiling by name.
A lot of African Americans on this guest list.
I I've not seen that many before.
I did that's I'm quoting Sally Quinn, Mr. Goodell.
Uh I I didn't say it.
Watch it show up now.
All right.
It's time for the traditional true story of Thanksgiving, as written by me in my second bestseller of two and a half million copies in Hardback, see I told you so, chapter six.
Dead white guys, or what the history books never told you the true story of Thanksgiving.
The story of the pilgrims begins in the early part of the seventeenth century.
That's the sixteen hundreds for those of you in Rio Linda.
The Church of England under King James the First was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority.
Those who challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, sometimes executed for their beliefs.
A group of separatists first fled To Holland and established a community.
After eleven years, about forty of them agreed to make a perilous journey to the new world where they would certainly face hardships, but they could live and worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences.
On August 1st, 1620, the Mayflower set sail.
It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty pilgrims led by William Bradford.
On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs.
Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from?
They came from the Bible.
The pilgrims were a people completely steeped in the lessons of the old and new testaments.
They looked to the ancient Israelites for their example, and because of the biblical precedents set forth in Scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work, but it was no pleasure cruise.
The journey to the new world was long and arduous.
When the pilgrims landed in New England in November, they found, according to Bradford's detailed journal, a cold, barren, desolate wilderness.
There were no friends to greet them, he wrote.
There were no houses to shelter them.
There were no inns where they could refresh themselves.
And the sacrifice they'd made for freedom was just beginning.
During the first winter, half the pilgrims, including Bradford's own wife, died of either starvation, sickness, or exposure.
When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn to fish for cod and skin beavers for coats.
Life improved for the pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper.
And this is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end.
Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude grounded in the tradition of both the old and new testaments.
Now here's the part that has been omitted.
The original contract the pilgrims had entered into with their merchant sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store.
And each member of the community was entitled to one common share.
All of the land that they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well.
They were going to distribute everything equally.
All the land they cleared, the houses they built belonged to the community as well.
Nobody owned anything.
They just had a share in it.
It was a commune.
It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the sixties and seventies out in California, and it was complete with organic vegetables, by the way.
Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that his form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had taken so many lives.
He decided to take bold action.
Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, and in doing so turned loose the power of the marketplace.
Long before Karl Marx was even born, the pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism.
And what happened, it didn't work.
It never has worked.
What Bradford and his community found was that the most creative and the most industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anybody else unless they could utilize the power of personal motivation.
But while most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over a hundred years trying to refine it, perfect it, reinvent it, the pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently.
What Bradford wrote about this social experiment should be in every school children's history lesson.
If it were, we might prevent much needless suffering in the future.
He wrote, the experience that we had in this common course and condition tried sundry years that by taking away property and bringing community into a common wealth would make them happy and flourishing as if they were wiser than God.
He wrote for this community, so far as it was, was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been fair and should have been to their benefit and comfort.
For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength To work for other men's wives and children without any recompense?
Was that thought injustice?
Why should you work for other people when you can work for yourself?
What's the point?
Do you hear what he was saying, folks?
The pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive.
So what did Bradford's community try next?
The unharnished power of good old free enterprise by invoking the ungirding capitalistic principle of private property.
Each family, every family, was assigned its own plot of land to work.
They were permitted to market it their own crops and products.
What was the result?
Well, Bradford himself wrote that this had very good success, for it made all hands industrious.
So as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.
Bradford doesn't sound like much of a Clintonite, I wrote then.
Is it possible that supply side economics could have existed before the 1980s?
Yeah.
Read the story of Joseph and Pharaoh in Genesis 41, following Joseph's suggestion.
This is Jennifer excuse me, Genesis 4134.
Pharaoh reduced the tax on Egyptians to 20% during the seven years of plenty, and the earth brought forth in heaps.
Genesis 4147.
In no time the pilgrims found that they had more food than they could eat themselves.
Now, this is where it gets really good because if you're laboring under the misconception, that I was, as I was taught in school.
Now you know the truth.
They set up trading posts, they exchanged goods with the Indians.
The prophets allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London, and the success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the Great Puritan migration.
But this story stops when the Indians taught the newly arrived suffering in socialism.
Pilgrims how to plant corn and fish for cod.
And that's where the story stops.
And the story but basically doesn't even begin there.
The real story of Thanksgiving is William Bradford giving thanks to God for the guidance and the inspiration to set up a thriving colony.
Their bounty was shared with the Indians.
They did sit down and they had dinner.
And I think they had a turkey.
But it was not the Indians who saved the day.
It was capitalism and scripture which saved the day.
Brief time out.
We'll be back with more after this.
We are back.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to um I want to read to you, if I find the first page, what did I do with the first page of this?
George Washington's um Thanksgiving address.
Yeah, got it.
All right.
Now, before I read this to you, I've I've I've I've read it uh just a very few times in this program.
Before I do, I want you to try to understand.
This is this is uh in uh 1779, and I want you to understand they knew 1789, they they knew what they had done, these founders.
They knew what they they knew that they had participated in a miracle in creating and founding this country.
George Washington, Thanksgiving proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be graceful for his benefits, to humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal flavors of Almighty God by affording
them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the twenty sixth of November next, to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was,
that is, or that will be, that we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for this kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of his providence,
which we experienced in the tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the National One,
Capitol O, now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge, and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and ruler of nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations,
to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed,
to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations, especially such as have shown kindness to us, and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord, to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us,
and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best, given under my hand at the city of New York on the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789, George Washington.
Again, you gotta know his frame of mind when he um issued this proclamation, wrote it.
He knew what he had done.
He knew what he'd been a part of.
They were grateful as they could be.
They they all of these stories that you've the people of multiculturalists have tried to put out that uh founders were atheists and they were agnostics.
Uh, or uh, or what have you.
Uh the first Thanksgiving was about thanking God just as the pilgrims.
First Thanksgiving was about thanking God.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, folks, our friends at the Heritage Foundation encourage you to remember and appreciate all the freedoms that we enjoy in this country.
Freedom is why the pilgrims came to America in the first place.
They were in search of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, press, assembly, and a freedom of enterprise.
America had the kind of freedom the world had never seen before.
That was what was exceptional about America.
We still have it, though it's under assault.
This is the freedom the Heritage Foundation is dedicated to preserving in America, and me too, and all of us.
And there's a reason the Heritage Foundation has the word heritage in its name.
They're dedicated to preserving the heritage of freedom on which America is founded, same freedom that we are thankful for this week.
So if you go online to Askheritage.org, you'll learn more about America's founding fathers and first principles, and you can become a member of this great organization.
It's easier than ever to become a member of the Heritage Foundation.
Easier than ever.
Membership can be as little as twenty-five dollars, payable monthly, quarterly, or all at once, if you want to splurge.
In these times, America needs an organization holding our country to its founding principles.
Go online to ask heritage.org, if nothing else.
You'll be validated and educated, informed, and inspired.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, Thanksgiving, this this traditionally the beginning of the quote unquote Christmas season, Hollow These Woods, and one of my favorite times of year.
We're just days away from starting our manheim steamroller, Christmas bump music rotation.
And it's all I get choked up at this time of year when I think of the blessings that have been bestowed upon me and my family, and it's all because of all of you.
Uh I say it every year.
I've had people thanking me all day long for what I do in the show.
You you have no idea what you have meant to be.
There's no way I could properly uh express my gratitude, other than to thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving as well, as well as all uniformed military personnel in the theater of battle overseas.
Back after this.com Newsweek.
Is Obama's star dimming as U.S. stock drops?
