Time Text
You know, I'm reminded that I forgot to mention Pol Pot.
Pol Pot wiped out in Cambodia an entire educated middle class.
He didn't consider them counterrevolutionary enough.
They were the problem.
These dictator types have to get rid of the people who know what has worked in the past, all the cultural and social goodness of a society, if you're going to ruin it and take it over.
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and our jobs summit today.
President Obama, I just had a chance to watch a little bit more of what he said.
And let me translate this for you, snurdle.
I'm watching it with Snerdley, and it's fun because Snerdley is sitting there shouting and muttering and all that at the television set with every sentence Obama says.
And I, of course, just sit there and study it.
And basically, what Obama said today was that he doesn't know how to stimulate growth in the private sector.
He doesn't know how to do it.
He has to bring in a bunch of people to now segregate in groups, and he's going to check back with them later this afternoon and get their ideas.
He doesn't know how to do it.
I mean, if you know how to watch these things, as I do, that's what just happened here.
Now, what Obama wants people to think is he's got his sleeves rolled up and he's working hard on it and he knows that growth can only come in the private sector.
That's what he says.
He's saying all the right things.
But what he's really saying is if he needs to convene all these people, and he doesn't know how to do it himself.
The reason he's convening all these people, it's a circus.
This is a show.
And the arrogant little guy, he just said, all right, oh, you segregate into your groups.
I'm going to be back later this afternoon, get your reports.
And I want details.
I want details.
What's he doing now?
Where did he go?
Go off to have lunch, play tiddly winks in the Oval Office.
What did he do?
All these groups segregate and so forth.
But here, you must, you must hear this.
What?
What?
It just, it's so timely.
It is a godsend for all of you in this audience to hear this.
This will, if you have doubted me about in my contention that what is happening to the U.S. private sector is intentional, if you have doubted me when I have suggested to you that Obama looks at this country with a chip on his shoulder, it's unfair.
It is unjust.
It is immoral.
There's no equality.
There's no fairness.
All of that is wrapped up in this quote.
And those of you who own small businesses were attacked.
You were blamed for the current joblessness and economic crisis that we face.
Despite the progress we've made, many businesses are still skittish about hiring.
Some are still digging themselves out of the losses they incurred over the past year.
Many have figured out how to squeeze more productivity out of fewer workers.
And that cost cutting has become embedded in their operations and in their culture.
That may result in good profits, but it's not translating into hiring.
And so that's the question that we have to ask ourselves today.
How do we get businesses to start hiring again?
Oh, don't worry.
A little dead air never hurt anybody here, folks.
So what businesses normally do, what this man pretends not to understand, is that the objective of a business is not to hire people so that he looks good.
The objective of a business is not to raise employment so that Obama's poll numbers go up.
The first objective of a business is to stay in business.
If that doesn't happen, all the rest is academic.
Most people, other than the well, I'm not going to characterize them the way I think about them.
Other than the people who live off everybody else in these so-called non-profits, but everybody in business needs a profit to stay in business.
We are in a recession, sir.
We are in a horribly rotten, bad recession.
It is a struggle to stay in business.
People cannot raise prices.
The unemployed cannot buy.
It is a struggle to stay in business.
It is a struggle to show a profit.
A profit is the only way to stay in business.
Other than, I mean, you can borrow, you can do this, but you're just in a climate like this, if you can even get credit, you're just digging yourself into a hole.
So he goes out there today, and this was at the beginning of his remarks.
He goes out there today and basically chastises you in small business for being greedy.
With sales down, you are greedy.
You can't raise prices.
Your sales are down.
And you have now found a way to enrich yourself at the expense of workers because you now have a new culture embedded in your culture.
You are making your existing workers work harder.
So you are becoming a sweatshop.
You are not hiring new people because you are greedy and you want your profits.
And we've got to do something about that.
How do we make you start hiring people?
What Obama wants out of this is further class envy.
He wants to ramp up the anti-business sentiment that exists in this country, particularly among the unemployed.
He wants the unemployed mad at you, not at him or government or Democrats or Congress.
He wants everybody who is about to lose a job, everybody who's overworked, everybody who's not getting a raise, everybody who's getting job salary cuts.
He wants you blaming business, not him.
Not government, not policy.
This is traditional.
It is a tactic out of the well-worn Democrat Party playbook.
Hell, Democrat Party playbook.
This is a page out of the leftist worldwide playbook.
Listen to this soundbite again.
Despite the progress we've made, many businesses are still skittish about hiring.
Some are still digging themselves out of the losses they incurred over the past year.
Many have figured out how to squeeze more productivity out of fewer workers.
Stop the tape right there.
And that squeeze productivity.
Squeeze productivity.
Squeeze workers.
Make you work harder at no additional pay.
Squeeze productivity.
Productivity is the objective.
Something has to be produced.
Something has to be produced and in significant quantities or levels that enough is paid to keep the business going.
We're in a recession.
And yet this man insists on blaming you so that you will get mad at your boss or even small business owner.
He wants you mad at the business sector in general.
Here's the rest of it.
And that cost cutting has become embedded in their operations and in their culture.
Stop the tape.
Cost cutting, wage-cutting for the pursuit of profit, which is evil, has now become embedded in your culture.
I hope you realize, those of you in small business, how you are being targeted today.
I hope you realize what this summit has as its primary purpose.
Oh yeah, he's saying all the right things.
We know that real recovery will only come from the private sector and so forth, and yet let's go trash it.
Let's get as many people in this country as angry at businessmen and businesswomen as we can.
Not me.
I don't want them blaming me.
I don't want them blaming Nancy.
Harry.
Blame Walmart.
And then this, the big piece des résistance.
That may result in good profits, but it's not translating into hiring.
And so that's the question that we have to ask ourselves today.
How do we get businesses to start hiring again?
I'll take a stab at that.
Get the hell out of their lives.
Cease and desist on this debacle known as health care reform.
Stop any pretense of a carbon tax under the hoax premise of saving the planet.
Start talking about tax cuts.
Stop spending these people's children and grandchildren into debtedness that they'll never recover from.
That's how you do it.
You basically have to quit, sir.
If you want to revive the private sector, resign.
We'll be back.
A couple of more sound bites from Obama's professorial lecture to the students where he told them to gather and come up with ideas while he's out playing golf and he'll check back with them later.
Here's the first of these additional two.
I want to be clear.
While I believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately, true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector.
We don't have enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars that was created as a consequence of the crisis.
Wait a minute now.
Just a year ago, almost a year ago, I said only government could fix the problem.
And now we don't have enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars created as a consequence of the crisis?
True economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector.
Not as long as you're around with these policies.
Sir, not as long as you are around proposing your agenda and passing it.
Finally, Coach Obama sends the attendees out to their little huddle groups.
I need everybody here to bring their A-game here today.
I'm going to be asking some tough questions.
I will be listening for some good answers.
And I don't want to just brainstorm up at 30,000 feet.
I want details in our discussion today.
I'm looking for specific recommendations that can be implemented that will spur on job growth as quickly as possible.
I want to be clear.
We won't overcome our unemployment challenge in just a few hours this afternoon.
I assure you there is extraordinary skepticism that any discussions like this can actually produce results.
I'm well aware of that.
I don't mind skepticism.
If I listened to the skeptics, I wouldn't be here.
But I am confident that we'll make progress.
I want details.
I'm looking for specific recommendations.
I want to be clear.
None of it's going to work.
Bring their A game.
The only, the only way, folks, the only way that somebody can bring their A game is if somebody's got the guts to say, Mr. President, you need to stop your agenda.
You need to stop it.
It is your agenda that's causing the problem, sir.
Have you considered resigning?
Maybe go run the UN.
Back to the phones on our own Jamalist Summit today, and it's Jim in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It's great to be talking to you.
Thank you.
Longtime listener, first time caller.
Very appreciate that.
Yeah, I've been unemployed since about the end of June, so I'm entering my sixth month of unemployment.
And I used to work in IT, and there's a lot of positions out there, but a lot of stuff is senior level, and I'm more of a mid-level.
IT, information technology.
Information technology.
Mike, what kind of job would you like in information technology?
I'm a web applications programmer.
So you write software?
I'm a programmer for basically stuff that you would use through the internet.
And there are no jobs there.
Is that what you're saying?
I thought the internet was growing.
Oh, there's a lot of jobs out there.
The problem is they're senior level, and a lot of employers want somebody that's been working for seven to ten years.
And I've only been in the job market for about four.
Oh, so it's an experience thing.
Yeah.
And I'm being passed over because a lot of people out there have more experience, and these employers are able to filter through anyone that doesn't have enough.
Wait, wait, wait.
The president just said that people are squeezing existing employees, making them work longer hours because they're greedily pursuing profits.
It would seem to me that they can get you cheaper than somebody with seven to ten years of experience.
That's the problem, though.
And they are right about squeezing, but they can get people with more experience much cheaper because why hire me when you can get someone with double the experience for the same cost?
Aha.
So what needs to happen for you?
If you were at the job summit today, what would you tell these people?
Well, you kind of nailed it on the head.
He needs to stop focusing on health care and the climate stuff and focus on the economy.
I know he thinks he's got it in the bag because he passed the stimulus, but that hasn't done anything.
It's hurt.
It's harmed.
His policies are what's, they are the wrecking wall here.
Absolutely.
You know, you say the internet's alive and well, but I'll tell you something.
One of the things that any responsible business person out there is holding back because they don't know what the climate's going to be next year.
They don't know which of this stuff is going to pass.
All they know is that if any or all of it does, everybody's taxes and costs are going to skyrocket.
And until they know what they're dealing with, they're not going to significantly expand.
I wonder if anybody in that room today will come up with this and tell him that.
Anyway, Jim, you face a problem that people throughout the history of capitalism have faced, and that is the experience thing.
And you're going to catch 22.
How do you get experience when you're not working?
And when the people that have more experience than you are are willing to work for less than they could otherwise get because of economic circumstances.
It's why my dad, why my dad thought that he was a failure because he couldn't convince me to go to college.
Because in his day, Great Depression, the only way out of that, the only way you had a chance of getting a job is if you were formally educated and could prove it with a diploma.
And you face a problem similar to many college grads.
They've got zero experience.
They're coming out with all of these degrees.
There aren't any jobs.
They have zero experience.
You're at least ahead of the game there.
So in situations like this, and I don't know how long this is going to go on.
And I don't know.
Are you currently on unemployment benefits?
Do you have those?
Yes, I am.
So you got, how much longer on them do you have?
Well, it's only been, I'm in my six months.
Six months.
I'm sure I've got quite a while since they keep extending them.
Right.
But the benefits are they anywhere near what you were earning before you?
Oh, no.
No, it's about a third of what I used to have.
Right.
I'm actually lucky in the sense that prior to me being laid off, my wife was unemployed.
She'd been unemployed since January.
What did she do?
She got a job in May.
So she got a job just before I got laid off.
So it could be worse.
It could have been much worse.
Could have been worse.
We would have both been unemployed and it just would have been really bad.
Well, what is your computer programming, software programming, is that your passion?
Yes.
That's really what you love.
Yep.
Are you asking yourself yet, why do you have to work for somebody else?
I asked myself that back in 1999 when I was basically a freelance web designer.
And there were many, the internet was booming back then to the extent that I was debating whether or not to go to college.
And I'm glad that I did because shortly after that, we had the dot-com bomb.
That's exactly.
And all those companies crashed.
So at least I survived that and got a degree.
But I've done it before.
I mean, I could do it again.
Well, you may really want to look at that.
This is still, I mean, this economy has not been destroyed.
This is still an economy where you can create your own job.
Absolutely.
If you have to, if you want to.
You already have a job that requires creativity.
I mean, it's a unique job.
I know there are a lot of people in IT, but writing code, writing software, improving and all this sort of stuff, that's something that not everybody can do.
And as such, they need somebody to do it for them that they can pay.
They have to pay.
So if things get desperate and so forth, you can always rely on the fact that if you have any entrepreneurial skill at all, if you have a real passion or desire for this, you've probably worked for people and you've had to do it their way, which is normal.
The boss is the boss.
But have you ever worked someplace where you thought it could have been improved upon?
Oh, yeah.
And if they left you alone, could you have done it better than what they were asking you to do it?
Yeah, that's usually the case.
I mean, but you always have to do what the client asks you to do.
Well, the client or the company that's paying you, I mean, it's a two-edged sword.
I mean, the client wants what he wants, but I'm talking about maybe I'm not understanding your employment.
You were working for an IT firm that clients that had clients, right, that needed the services of the firm.
Yes.
Okay, so the firm actually was paying you, the clients had to get what they want.
Well, anyway, you've got enough experience there.
You know what clients want.
Sometimes clients want what they want, and you can tell them, hey, there's a better way to do it.
Might be cheaper, might look better, might be more functional or what have you.
It depends on how much you love this and want to strike out on your own and set up your own firm.
But it's still America, and you can still do it.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
And we are back.
Rushlin Bohr, the EIB network, coming to you from the safe confines of the heavily fortified and bunkered EIB, Southern Command.
You know, we do these programs now and then on the economy and jobs and so forth.
And invariably, the subject of entrepreneurism comes up, and because it is one of the, you know, becoming your own boss, starting your own business, it is, I mean, it's a scary thing to contemplate.
What gets you over the hump on it is your passion, you know, your love for it, and the desire to actually have somebody pay you for what you do.
What you do is generally what you enjoy the most, and you're generally the best at that.
And the trick is to getting somebody to pay for it.
It reminds me of the Life Lock guy had his identity stolen.
Had his identity stolen.
And it was hell.
It was a pain in the butt.
But it gave him the idea to start the business to help other people from having that happen.
And he just charges people $10 a month.
I don't know if you've, I've never had my identity stolen.
I know people who have, and it is no fun.
It is, nobody believes who you are because everything is computerized.
You can show up in person, show them who you are.
It doesn't matter if the computer doesn't say it.
And it won't if somebody steals your identity.
And during this economic climate, when even bail bondsmen are having trouble, people are out there taking shortcuts, trying to get money.
And one of the best ways to do it is identity theft.
One of the ways it's happening right now is people are stealing your identity off the internet.
A lot of sites say we're secure.
Don't worry about it.
But hackers are everywhere, not just at climate sites.
And they have figured out a way to purloin people's identity.
And more than 20% of identity theft incidents reported nationwide are paper-based.
Somebody went through a stack of papers.
Somebody did something foolish, like threw all the papers in the dumpster.
All some crooks need is a name and driver's license number.
They get a box of blank checks from Staples and print them with your name on it, and they're off to town.
Nobody can fully stop it, but Life Lock is the best out there.
I said it's $10 a month.
It's actually less than that because when you mention my name, you're going to save an additional 10%.
And the number to call is 800-440-4833.
Use the promo code Rush.
You don't know what magic that is.
Whenever you call any of these people, offer code RUSH.
Doors will open to you.
You'll see.
800-440-4833.
By the way, for those of you out there looking for work, one of the very few sectors that has added employment during the recession is what, Snerdley?
What sector?
One of the very few sectors to have added employment is healthcare.
And that's the one thing Obama's vowed to fix.
This is from July 30th of this year.
Healthcare has grown 3.7% since the recession began, while the labor force as a whole declined 4.7%.
This is from Heidi Scherholtz, an Economic Policy Institute economist, citing U.S. Labor Department data.
The article, by the way, offers nothing to back up the claims about green tech jobs.
There aren't any of those.
They're only talked about in terms of the future.
And all the sources on that are from front organizations run by George Soros.
All right, back to the phones to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Christy, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
How are you doing, Rush?
Very well.
Thank you.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
Don't you?
Nightmare.
Like, what the heck's going on here?
Nightmare, nightmare.
More than a dream, and I'm hoping to wake up from it.
I don't know.
We have to do some praying.
Hey, the one thing I just want to tell you, I am currently unemployed.
My husband and I just decided to send him back to school.
We're going to help with a little bit of student loans and a grant we got.
I was a loan officer for a bank, and I feel like this is a big scam.
I get to see some different things happening that we actually worked with the illegal immigrants, actually getting them loans under their ITIN number.
Have you ever heard of that?
Wait a second here.
You worked at a bank in Fort Wayne.
You were a loan officer.
No, no, no.
Not just Fort Wayne.
No, no, this was a big bank.
But your job, you were in Fort Wayne.
Okay, okay, not a Fort Wayne bank, but you live in Fort Wayne.
This is where this is happening.
Yeah, I was a loan officer.
You're a loan officer at a big bank.
We would all know the name of the bank.
And your job was to help illegals get loans, mortgages.
I feel blessed in a way, Rush, because I feel like just God's giving me an opportunity to be able to see this stuff because it wasn't a big deal.
Nobody really said a lot about it, but I felt good about it, you know, because I thought that they, you know, we're all immigrants, but they're good people.
They're hardworking people.
They pay their bills on time.
So I felt, you know, but now that I stuck these people on these loans, and yes, it was probably something that's more quiet.
But now, you know, foreclosing on their houses.
Oh, yeah, hold on.
Hold on.
We know what's happening out there.
I do.
Do you?
I know you do.
Do they?
Of course they're being foreclosed.
Were you what was this?
Sounds like.
Well, this had to be part of the subprime loan program.
Well, could these people afford it?
Couldn't the Hispanic community afford these loans?
Could they afford the loan?
Oh, my.
They could afford it better than Caucasian people.
I mean, they were honestly, that's all we dealt with.
And they were an example to how people should be paying.
On time, cash money, working two jobs, 40 hours a week, both jobs.
You know what I mean?
I'm just trying to digest it.
Your job was to make loans to illegals, and in the process, you learned that they are better than a better customer, better than Caucasians, as you said.
Yeah.
But yet they're being foreclosed on.
Well, the reason they're being foreclosed on is because they started out on two-year arms, and they stuck them on five-year arms, and a few of them did get 30-year arms.
But, you know, it started, I watched it because they would start threatening about doing the raids and all this stuff.
So I'm sure they had gotten nervous.
A lot of them probably just packed up and went back.
So, you know what?
It's a plan because they knew they were going to do that.
They knew they were going to stick millions of people into these houses, and they knew that they could get back.
They own the banks.
They want the money.
They want the control.
Who is they?
Who is they?
The world's elite.
The world's elite.
Yeah, I mean, it's a big plan, right?
I'm not.
I've lost you somewhere along the line.
It might be my cochlear implant unable to keep up with you.
Go for it.
I talk quick.
Well, I don't even know how to paraphrase what I just heard.
Sure.
Let me piece this together.
You are a loan officer.
I was.
I gave up my license because it's just unstable, too unstable for my family.
We've made different plans, which I'd like to talk to you about in a second.
Go ahead.
It's a long time before we get there.
You should look on to go ahead and Google it.
It's called undocumented resident alien ITIN.
No, I got all that.
I understand that the bank told you to go out and make loans to people, and you claim that they can pay the loans, that they were qualified.
Oh, my God.
I'm being completely honest.
My hand to God, I'm a Christian woman.
They are really good examples of the way we should be paying.
Where did the world's elite come into this?
This is where I put this.
Well, the way I see it, the way I see it is that they plan this whole bank dropout.
I'm sitting there at my desk that day, and I get an email that says, our bank just closed.
This is a big bank.
And I had people sitting at closing tables, people that were waiting for their loans to be funded on their houses, my biggest month yet.
And they closed the doors.
You know, I was paying $300 a month on insurance.
It's just done.
So that part of my life's over.
But to see this stuff.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I think I'm getting enough.
You were a predatory lender.
The bank, the world's elite, made you lend money to these good people.
And eventually these elites foreclosed on them and took their houses from them and so forth.
And it was all.
They knew.
Yes, they knew.
This is how I feel.
They knew that the market, you know, they were going to do this to the market.
They know they're going to start.
All right.
All right.
Now I get it.
Your focus is all wrong.
The elite, yes, but you got the wrong elite.
The people that made this happen are Democrats, and they go by the name of Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd primarily.
They are the two that made this kind of thing happen.
And when this program broke down, the Democrats came up with the term predatory lender to castigate your bank and you for taking advantage of these good, decent people who you now call here and say are far more worthy and honest and so forth than the Caucasians that you see.
Look at how they've polluted your mind.
I mean, you got the elite right, but you're missing who's doing this and what their purpose was.
This is what Barney Frank calls affordable housing.
These people actually could not afford these loans is the point.
You think they could, but they couldn't.
They couldn't afford them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in foreclosure.
I'm sorry, my friends.
It took me a little while to understand this, but it's still sad because even somebody working at the bank believes that the bank was the bad guy.
And the world's elite, of course, are bankers.
I'm telling you, Christy, the Democrat Party is who you ought to be pointing your finger of blame at here.
We'll be back.
I got to go.
This is the soundbite from Obama today.
This, folks, is the clincher.
This is how we know the whole thing today is strictly BS.
If there are things that we're doing here in Washington that are inhibiting you, then we want to know about it.
That's all you need to know.
This is a dog and pony show.
It is a scam.
It is a sham.
In fact, it's a golden oldie.
They did this at the beginning.
I have to think they're doing this out of panic.
And the unemployment number is going to come out tomorrow, and it's going to be up.
And I have to think, his numbers are cratering.
I have to think here that this is not good.
People say things like this and go out there and bash small business and greedy profiteers and so forth.
And then say, if we're inhibiting you, your whole administration is a giant inhibition standing in the way of all kinds of progress on purpose.
That's why all this makes me livid.
At any rate, Alex and Katona, New York, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hi.
Rush.
Yes.
You're there.
I'm right here.
All right.
Yes.
I was laid off from one of the big four accounting firms in February from KPMG.
I've collected no unemployment since then, essentially, just because I have the ability to not do that, and I don't want anything from the government.
Well, but you've paid into that now.
You've a little bit of your unemployment.
Yeah, I understand that, but I don't.
There's something, there's some part of me that doesn't allow me to do it.
Now, I understand.
The stigma.
Yeah, I just can't do it.
Now, you come from an old time.
Yeah, so I was consulting before I went to KPMG and decided to go back to consulting.
But the business climate compared today to three years ago is entirely different.
I mean, businesses are, they're frozen.
They don't know.
I mean, I'm in New York, so it's not just the federal problems that are happening.
It's also the state problems.
So they don't know whether New York is going to pull a California and say, hey, we're going to raise everybody's taxes because we're broke.
Yeah, they do.
It's going to happen in New York.
It's just a matter of time.
Yeah, so the businesses are frozen.
They don't know what to do.
They don't know what the playing field looks like.
So they're certainly not going to grab their helmet and run out in the field and have no idea what's coming down the pipe.
That's exactly my point.
So what are you going to do?
What am I going to do?
Yeah, what are you going to do?
I'm going to continue what I'm doing.
I mean, I'm trying to get consultant work here and there.
Like I said, luckily my wife has a good job, so I don't have to, I don't need to worry too much, but I just got to try to keep kicking it on the consulting side.
I mean, government just needs to get the hell out of the way.
They need to pay the taxes.
Obama needs to step back.
We have reached our conclusion today.
Our job summit has been purely substantive.
There has not been one showbiz aspect to it.
It has not been about advancing my approval ratings or anything of the kind.
It is about coming up with a genuine solution, which we've all known.
The point was to instruct and inform others.
And the solution to unemployment is get the government out of the freaking way for the Obama administration agenda to be halted.
The ultimate would be for President Obama and Vice President Plugs Biden to resign.
Now, we know that's not going to happen.
But to illustrate the depths of our problem and to show you what the genuine solution would be, the best thing that could happen would be if Obama were just to decide he wanted to do something else, go run the United Nations, or maybe try to rehab that climate research unit over there at the University of Lies, East Anglia University.
You can take Barbara Boxer with him.
Maybe hunt down and find that hacker.
You know, the guy that's the real problem.
You know, stop and think of these guys at East Anglia.
What's their problem?
What is their problem?
They got caught.
They got caught.
And they were backed up?
You know, have you, speaking of that, have you backed up your hard drive on your computer yet, folks?
Have you done this?
Carbonite cannot get hacked.
What happened to the Hadley Climate Research Unit cannot happen to you with your data backed up at Carbonite?
Your hard drive is going to blow up on you.
Even a new computer, it's going to happen.
There are weird things.
Half of them could blow.
You could lose half your data.
The whole thing could go.
Somebody could spill something on it.
You never know.
And people, I don't have to back up my TV.
I have to back up my dishwasher.
A lot of people, especially new to computers, don't understand the technology, but everything on there can be erased, too, even if it doesn't crash.
One mistake with a computer stroke.
So, carbonite.com, back up your computer off-site, online.
Happens every time you're logged onto the internet in the background.
Don't even know what's happening until your hard drive crashes, and then you'll be glad that you took my advice.
PC or Mac, $55 a year, 15-day free trial, two free months if you decide to buy.
Carmenite.com, offer code Rush.
Look at it this way, folks.
Would you hire Barack Obama to run your business?
Well, then why let him run your business?
Would you hire him as an employee in your business?
Why let him be part of your business?
He's admitting he doesn't know anything about it today with his summit.
By the way, Al Gore has canceled a lecture on global warming for 3,000 people in Denmark on December 16th.
And I got a foreign press story on it, and they are livid about this.
Al Gore has had to cancel.
No reason given.
Hmm.
Could it be me?
Could it be the University of Lies at East Anglia?
Mark Belling will be in tomorrow, my friends.
I have some things I have to do tomorrow.
They can only be done during showtime.
I'm sorry about that.
But even I face these things as you do.
See you on Monday.
