Time Text
Hi, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being.
Should be allowed to have.
It's open line Friday, and we got one hour to go.
Let's get started.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
800 282-2882, the email address.
L Rushball at EIB Net.com.
Unbelievable.
Well, it is believable.
Barack Obama.
Now focusing on jobs.
You know why?
Rasmussen reports, 61% of the American people say it's time for Congress to drop health care.
That is a clear majority.
61% say it's time for Congress to drop health care.
So there's Obama.
He's out in Illyria, Ohio today, with a jobs and economic town hall.
Big whoop.
Folks, if I had the power he's got, I could create more jobs in 25 minutes than he's going to create in four years.
If I had the tools that he has at his disposal, I could create more jobs in 25 minutes than this guy is going to create in four years.
I must really be getting to this guy because he just said there are some people in this country that think if Obama loses, they win.
But when you win, I win.
Well, uh, no.
When he wins, we lose, folks.
He said, I could have had, I could have had high poll numbers if I didn't do anything.
But I came into office.
I inherited an economic mess.
He's back to whining like a little bitty baby.
If I I can have high poll numbers if I didn't do anything, if I didn't want to offend anybody, I want you to understand this is not about me.
It's about you.
It's all BS.
Everything is about him.
And we're going to put it to music here.
Everything's about him.
And he can't get me off of his mind.
And I still want Obama to fail.
Shout it.
He's going to keep fighting for health care reform.
Good.
Keep it alive for another six months.
Why don't you keep it alive for November?
He says, I signed credit card reform just for you, he's telling these people.
And some people are telling you that they win if Obama loses.
And that's true.
Ever so true, U.S. investors overwhelmingly see President Obama.
This is Bloomberg, by the way.
U.S. investors overwhelmingly see Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey.
The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers finds that 77% of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business, and four out of five of them are only somewhat confident or not confident at all of his ability to handle a financial emergency.
The poll also finds a decline in Obama's overall favorability rating one year after taking orifice.
He's viewed favorably by 27% of U.S. investors in the October poll.
32% favored him.
Only 27%, so 27% approve of Obama as uh of investors approve of him.
After his one year jihad against capitalism.
After his one-year jihad against capitalism, there are still 27% of investors.
Who are they?
Are they led by Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League?
Who are these 27%?
Are they carbon traders?
That's just uh that's amazing.
National Enquirer is submitting John Edwards coverage for a Pulitzer Prize.
They want to get a Pulitzer Prize for dragging uh the drive-by media kicking and screaming into this story.
Uh, and I'm I'm all for it.
Uh you know that the Pulitzers.
You know how you know how Joseph Pulitzer got his start.
Yellow journalism, Joel Joseph Pulitzer was the national inquirer.
And he was so upset at the end of his life that he had no integrity and no uh no respect That he established the Pulitzer Prizes as a means of regaining respect for his uh his work, his career, and his family name.
Speaking of Edwards, you've got I gotta play you some sound bites here.
This is just we need to take a break here and have a little fun.
So let's do I'm gonna start with myself, January 27th, 2004, right here on this show.
This is in the midst, of course, the presidential campaign, and this is what I said about Senator Edwards.
Once again, this will establish in your mind if it hasn't been established already that I am prescient.
That I know these people, like every square inch of my gloriously shrinking naked body, and that I am indeed on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
The threat posed by Edwards, as I'm as I'm picking up on it, is he comes by this the most naturally.
As did Clinton.
Clinton was a natural fraud.
Clinton didn't have to stop and think on his feet or in advance strategically of how to how to about how to fool people.
It it just is who he is.
Clinton is a master at disguising himself.
Imagine Clinton is walking around with body armor.
Clinton's walking around with all kinds of boundaries that you can't get through and you can't see through.
Clinton, and that's Edwards.
In Edwards's case, he may not even know who he really is.
I think in Edwards' case, it may be even more pathological, he may not know who he is.
He has been so skilled at putting forth who he wants people to see him as, he may have become what he wishes he were.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
And I tell you, I about flipped when John Edwards stood up there and said, if John Cara becomes president, Christopher Reeve will walk again.
That was cruel to say that to people who are suffering spinal injuries.
So, this morning on Good Morning America, we have a montage of highlights from a 2020 upcoming interview with former Edwards campaign staffer Andrew Young.
Andrew Young is the guy who, no, no, that baby's mine.
That baby is mine.
And this is about Senator Edwards and being asked to lie about being the father of Riley Hunter's baby.
The senator made the full pitch.
Not just for me.
I mean, he didn't just have to convince me that I was going to take paternity.
He also had to convince Riel that she would publicly claim that I had been the father.
It's been two and a half years.
And uh, you know, for it to come out a week before my book is coming out, uh I I've expected it for a long time.
I expected that they were going to do a public relations campaign to promote him, uh, which I'm very skeptical of.
All of a sudden he's a doting, loving father uh of of Quinn.
Uh I'm skeptical of it.
As everybody should be.
This is guy is as phony a construct as there ever has been.
So Stephanopoulos, host of Good Morning America, shocked, outraged that a guy would run for president while hiding an affair.
That's what's hilarious.
Stephanopoulos worked for a guy and helped a guy hide affairs.
And here he is, outraged at John Edwards.
This is uh this is Stephanopoulos uh this is I guess he's uh talking to uh Robin Roger, just talking to himself, I guess.
How did he ever think he was gonna get through a presidential campaign sitting on all this?
It's just unbelievable.
How did he ever think he was gonna get through a presidential campaign sitting on all of this is just unbelievable?
Let's go back then.
Let's go back 1993.
This is from the documentary film The War Room.
It's about Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.
Governor Clinton, Jennifer Flowers have this exchange about their affair.
Any kind of paper driver?
Like what kind of paper?
Any kind of personal record or checkbooks or anything like that, phone record.
Do I have any?
Yeah.
I mean, why?
I don't know, Roger.
You you usually call me for that matter.
Uh, but I just think that if everybody got recognized, you got no problem.
If everybody's on record tonight, you got no problem.
See, John Edwards did not have a Betsy Wright on the payroll.
George, how how how how did John Edwards think he was gonna get how did you guys think you were gonna get Clinton through with all the gab bag baggage he had?
What John Edwards didn't have was George Stephanopoulos and James Carville.
That's what he didn't have.
My God, if John Edwards would have had James Carvel and George Stephanopoulos and Paul Bagallo the forehead, who knows how high he might have flown.
July 19th, 1992, this week with David Brinkley, Sam Donaldson and George Stephanopoulos have this exchange about Governor Bill Clinton.
Now, Governor Clinton has a character problem, but I take it that your line has no characters.
Your line of counterattack is that it's unwell, I mean, he is not denied that he has engaged in marital infidelity.
He denied his specific.
That's right.
And he uh he has talked about the draft, and to some people it's a character problem.
Bill Clinton's passed his character tests throughout his life and throughout this campaign.
And he's shown it through his commitments to real fights.
Now the anger of good morning America is George Stephanopoulos.
I mean, this is stuff that's too good to be true.
It's just hilarious.
Here next is uh finally Stephanopoulos from the film war room talking somebody out of making an allegation of infidelity against Clinton.
Think of yourself.
I guarantee you that if you do this, you'll never work in democratic politics again.
Nobody will believe you.
And people will think you're scummy.
The alternative is you don't do it.
It causes you some temporary pain with people who tomorrow aren't going to matter.
And you have a campaign that understands that in a difficult time he did something right.
So here's here's uh Stephanopoulos counseling a bimbo.
You better not.
Better not come forward.
You better not think of yourself.
I guarantee if you do this, you'll never work in Democrat politics again.
Better not do that.
Now, see, all that was missing for John Edwards is George Stephanopoulos.
But he's busy.
He's now he's now in the mainstream media.
He's now anchoring Good Morning America.
He's gone from being interrogated by Sam Donaldson to now being a colleague.
We'll be back.
Obama continues to sing his own praises, now saying the Recovery Act, this is the slush fund, extended jobless insurance.
Yes, to a record length of time, beating the jobless extension, this is unemployment compensation, uh, that we set in 1982, which is promoting unemployment.
And guess what?
The unions have just announced that they are going to get behind Obama's bank tax.
Big surprise there.
How much wealth can one man destroy when he's trying to?
Asian markets fall after Obama bank plan.
Asian stock markets tumbled Friday after Obama proposed a sweeping overhaul of Wall Street banks to avert future financial crises.
Even in Newsweek, I think this is.
Yes.
Michael Hirsch, the end of Wall Street as we know it.
Now, by the way, they make this political like they do everything else, but it's it's kind of a convoluted story, but the guy in the end says that he doesn't think Obama's really thought this through, and it's probably true he hasn't thought it through because it's based on class envy.
And that's where the unions are right there.
Now the unions have come out and get behind Obama's bank tax.
Yes, of course they would.
Hugo Chavez mouthpiece says the U.S. hit Haiti with an earthquake weapon.
The United States apparently possesses an earthquake weapon that set off the catastrophic quake in Haiti and killed 200,000 people, according to Hugo Chavez.
The strongman state mouthpiece uh TV shot out a press release saying the 7.0 earthquake was a test of our earthquake weapon that we're planning to use against Iran.
And then from the world socialist website, U.S. military operations block relief efforts in Haiti.
The world socialist website, U.S. military intervention in Haiti after the January 12 earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 people, continues to block the arrival of critical supplies to the devastated country.
And they even quote Doctors Without Borders issuing a statement protesting the U.S. military's continuing refusal to allow its planes to land at the Port of Prince Airport.
So we caused the quake with our doomsday weapon uh that we're testing to use against Iran, and now the military in our occupation of Haiti won't let anybody's relief in.
And the unions on the same page as worldwide leftists and socialists have now said they are fully behind Obama's bank tax.
Let's listen to a little bit of Obama.
I know it's painful.
But you have to hear this, folks.
You have to hear this.
Obama attacking the banks in Ohio.
One man seeking to destroy as much wealth as he can in four years.
I walked into office a year ago in the middle of a raging economic storm that was wrecking devastation on your town and communities everywhere.
I made it worse.
We had to take some very difficult steps to deal with that mess.
To save off an even greater economic catastrophe.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
We had to stabilize the financial system.
Yeah.
Which, given the role of the big banks in creating this mess was a pretty tough pill to swallow.
I knew it would be unpopular.
And rightly so.
Blah, blah, blah.
But I also knew that we had to do it because if they went down, your local banks would have gone down.
And if the financial system went down, it would have taken the entire economy and millions more families and businesses with it.
We would have been looking at a second Great Depression.
So I hate the banks.
I despise them.
But I had to save them.
I had to save them.
Otherwise, we'd all been killed.
I had to say that.
But now, now that I've saved the banks, I'm gonna destroy them.
I'm gonna cream them just for you.
Because I know you hate them.
I can read the polls and you hate the banks, and you hate their bonuses.
And so I'm gonna make you think I hate them too.
But I've winked at him, I've called him and I've told them look, I'm gonna rip you guys publicly.
We're not gonna do anything about it.
Just take it.
I'm gonna make people think I hate your guts, and I'm gonna tax the hell out of you.
You know it's not gonna happen.
Then he goes public and does it, and people get sapped into this again.
He ramps up the class warfare in this next bite.
I want to make this absolutely clear.
I did not run for president to turn away from these challenges.
I didn't run to kick these challenges down the road.
I ran for president to confront them once and for all.
I ran for this office to rebuild our economy so it works not just for the fortunate few, but for everybody who's willing to work hard.
Of which there are many who can't find any work because of you, sir.
He ran for this office to remake this economy, to destroy the capitalist system of this country, and that is his challenge, and he is succeeding way too much.
This next one is where he says it's not about me.
There's some people though who think that if he loses, we win.
I want you to understand.
This is not about me.
This is not about me.
This is about you.
This is not about me, this is about you.
I didn't take this up to boost my poll numbers.
You know the way to boost your poll numbers is not do anything.
That's how you do it.
You don't offend anybody.
I'd have real high poll numbers.
All of Washington would be saying, What a genius.
I I I didn't take this on to score political points.
I know there's some folks who think, you know, if if Obama loses, we win.
But you know what?
I think that I win when you win.
He says it's not about me, and every line was about him and how he could be perceived as a genius, how he didn't do this for this, he didn't do it for you, he didn't do it for him, he did it for me, he didn't do it for himself, did it for you, did it for us.
Everything in this paragraph was about him.
Why would he need to say any of this?
Why would he why would he have to say it isn't about me?
I didn't pick this up to kick it down the road.
Uh boost your poll numbers, I have to do nothing.
God, we'd all be so much better off if he had done nothing.
You realize if he hadn't done anything, how much as I said, I could create more jobs in 25 minutes, and this clown is gonna create in four years.
Here's one more bite.
As I have uh some breath in me, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I will not stop fighting for you.
I will take my lumps, but I won't stop fighting to bring back jobs here.
I won't stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded.
I won't stop fighting to make sure there's accountability in our financial system.
I'm not gonna stop fighting until we have jobs for everybody.
Substitute the word speechifying for fighting, because that's all he's doing.
He's one of these coulda woulda shoulda guys.
You know what a coulda woulda shoulda guy is gone?
You probably dated a bunch of them.
I'll explain it when we come back.
I wanted you to play uh Soundbite 30 again before we go to Sun by 31, because folks, this is his first campaign speech of the year.
That's all this is.
It's called a town hall meeting, but it's a campaign speech, and it's all about him.
What they're doing here is taking Obama back to the cocoon of his comfort, which is a campaign and at a time when he was considered the Messiah, when he was considered the one, when he was considered transformational.
But I want, and he keeps talking about, hey, I want a reward.
People are at hard work.
What has he ever done to help reward hard work?
What has he done?
Folks, he hasn't done anything good for anybody.
Or anything other than him.
Now while he's talking, he's out there to job summit.
He's out there to jobs and economic town hall from state-controlled AP.
Unemployment rates rose in 43 states last month, the government said today, painting a bleak picture of the job market that illustrated nationwide data released two weeks ago.
So he's out there not creating one job, by the way, not saving one job.
He's a he's a coulda, woulda, shoulda guy.
Now, you women, because I it's women who've told me about coulda, woulda, shoulda guys.
They're smooth, they're primarily smooth, and they may be good looking.
But they're always on the cum.
Something's always gonna happen down the road.
And when it doesn't happen, it shoulda happened.
And then when it shouldn't happen, it woulda.
If only this had happened.
And then the cycle repeats itself.
Something big's gonna happen.
I'm on the verge of it.
Coulda.
And then it doesn't happen.
It would have happened if you hadn't gotten away.
It would have happened if Limbo hadn't gotten in my way.
It would have.
And then after that phase passes, it should have happened, damn it, is not fair.
It should've.
Then the whole cycle repeats.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Women, ladies, you are looking at a coulda, woulda, shoulda guy.
He doesn't accomplish anything.
He doesn't solve anything.
There are no solutions.
He demands solutions, but he doesn't create solutions.
He's an agitator.
He's an organizer.
He's not a leader.
Alinsky told us the difference in the two.
Agitators do not become leaders by definition.
Agitators demand things.
Agitators are coulda woulda shoulda guys.
Now get this.
Unemployment rose in 43 states last month.
Nationally, more than 600,000 people left the labor force in December.
According to government data, the large exodus from the labor force indicates that unemployment's a lot worse than the numbers suggest.
As we have been suggesting for months now.
And the second big story, the unions are getting behind the Obama bank tax, which now people are estimating could cost the banks $13 billion, which means it's gonna cost us $13 billion.
They're gonna pass uh as much of it along to us as possible.
So here you listen to these next two bites, one you've heard just a moment ago, but this first campaign speech of 2010.
So long as I have uh some breath in me.
Not about me.
As long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I will not stop fighting for you.
I will take my lumps.
Not about me.
But I won't stop fighting to bring back jobs here.
I won't stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded.
I won't stop fighting to make sure there's accountability in our financial system.
I'm not gonna stop fighting until we have jobs for everybody.
It's not about me, though.
I'm not gonna stop fighting, it's not about me, it's not about me.
And finally, his new campaign theme.
We're having a fight right now, because I want to charge Wall Street a modest fee to repay taxpayers in full for saving their skins in a time of need.
We want our money back.
We want our money back.
And we're gonna get your money back every dime.
Each and every dime.
Let me tell you people, if you're in Elyria, Ohio or anywhere else, you're not gonna see a dime of anything.
You're gonna lose money under Obama.
Obama is gonna take money away from you.
These banks have already repaid their TIRP loans with interest.
He is flat out lying.
I'm gonna get them baby money back.
Saving their skins in a time of need.
I hate him and you should hate him.
Again I ask, what has Obama ever done to reward hard work?
Gary in Minneapolis, I'm glad you called, sir.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes.
Hello, Rush.
Yeah, how are you, sir?
Oh, wonderful.
Thank you for everything you do, Rush.
Say, I have uh a question about uh what Axelrod yesterday he said about uh the uh if the president runs in 2012.
And I was just wondering if I'm reading too much into that or if is it a dream come true here?
That's right.
It was Axel Rott who said that.
I think we're reading too much into it.
Uh I I think he just being uh uh humble uh trying to be if if the president decides to uh to they're not gonna signal right now he's not gonna run.
That's what yeah, okay.
There you go.
Because the only time in my life 61 and Johnson was the only one that I remember saying anything even close to this and it wasn't the first year.
Yeah.
You know, I'm just wondering if maybe we can hope that maybe he was, you know, because I know a lot that Obama says comes out of Axelson's Axelrod's mouth anyhow.
The only way he won't run for re-election, uh, Gary, is if there aren't any elections.
Uh if they've if they've been done away with.
Wow.
Uh but he's and and he's gonna give himself all eight years to transform this country into what he thinks it ought to be.
A welfare state.
And his the way to understand this guy, I'm gonna return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners, i.e., union workers.
Eight percent of the people in this country and on minorities.
About 10% of the people of this country have built it and they've gotten screwed.
Ninety percent of the people have been stealing from those 10% since this nation was founded.
That's what he believes.
That's what he's been taught.
Some of you in Elyria, Ohio, not at the Obama town hall on jobs.
A man who believes that the country is governed by the aggressive use of speeches.
Let me just say again.
Obama's nickname is Mr. Depression.
He can have all these campaign slogans and campaign appearances he wants.
And he goes, We want our money back.
We want our money back.
He is Mr. Depression.
He is cracking down on the banks.
No, he's raping the banks.
He's doing it intentionally.
In Obama's world, there will be no insurance companies.
The government will handle that.
In Obama's world, there will be no oil companies, the government will be in charge of that.
Just call him Hugo Obama.
Or Barack Chavez, whichever.
There won't be small businesses or people earning over 250,000 a year, and there won't be any banks.
He's gonna have all those.
His paradise sounds like it's right out of Mao Tse tongue to me.
And meanwhile, my friends, there he is living like a king.
His buddies in the unions at the leadership are rewarded with tax dollars that they have not earned, and the government gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
He's misusing the language now talking about an activist court decision that simply upholds the First Amendment.
He uses the word regulation to give the impression of reform or consumerism.
But when you hear him use that word, understand that what he means is nationalization in whole or in part.
He always wants to do the biggest, this, the biggest that.
Since the depression or since the founding.
This is a man, and I can look it.
They're making fun of him on CNBC this afternoon for speaking in third person all about himself.
They're finally remarking on it.
This is a guy who is insecure with himself.
He craves annulation.
That's why they took him back to Ohio and recreated a campaign-style appearance, because that's his cocoon of comfort.
He craves that adulation.
And he's not getting it by virtue of his job performance.
He confuses big with right.
He confuses massive with smart.
The thing is, he's out of tricks already.
In one year, he is already having to go back to the campaign and recycle the one thing That's worked.
And that is the flowery rhetorical flourishes and oratory from the teleprompter.
He's lashing out now.
He's imploding.
He's throwing wild punches in every direction now, hoping something that he throws up against the wall will stick.
I think.
I think, ladies and gentlemen, there is some instability taking over now.
There's comments, his actions here.
This this thing in Ohio today, this is makes me very uncomfortable.
All about him.
I don't think he could be elected to Chicago City Council today, much less be re-elected president.
You tell me.
What exactly has he done for the middle class?
What exactly has Obama done for small businesses?
What exactly has he done to bring ethics and accountability to government?
What exactly has Obama done to improve the economic environment of this country?
Zilch Zero Nada.
What exactly has Obama done to improve education, reading and writing and math in the schools?
Zip.
What exactly has Obama done to improve conditions in the inner cities?
Nothing.
And we're supposed to have all these shovel-ready jobs and rebuilding schools and roads and bridges with the slush fund, the storm stipulus bill, but nothing, folks.
It all went to state workers, government workers.
In lieu of doing something substantive and positive, he spends and spends and spins.
He attacks attacks attacks, and he goes out and makes speeches.
Nothing, literally nothing, has improved under this president.
Nothing.
He is petulant.
He criticizes everybody else.
He's like a uh spoiled child always blaming Bush.
He demeans people who have actually created jobs.
He demeans people who have created wealth, arrogantly makes demands, bullies people and businesses.
He has no concept of the role of a president or the limits of his intelligence or his abilities.
But most Americans now do.
Brief timeout coming right back after this.
Don't go away.
You know, Obama's big line now.
It's it's showing up in almost every speech he makes.
We want our money back.
We want our money back.
No, Mr. President, we want our vote back.
Millions of Americans want their vote back, Mr. President.
Folks, we have a sponsor here on the EIB product that makes the best product in its class.
And it's a very challenging sell.
You know why?
The best product in its class cannot be bought at a store.
You can't go out and buy it.
But it's the best product in its class.
I'm talking about BG products.
They make maintenance fluids for your automobile, for the engine, for the transmission.
And the only way you can get a BG oil service change is to go to a dealer or a service shop that uses the products.
And they've got a website that identifies those places for you.
It's called findashop.com.
And you'll you'll find the tab there that says BG Oil Service.
The website is BG Findashop.com.
I use it.
I use BG Oil Service.
It adds value and life.
If cars can have lives, it adds life to the car.
This product, BG products, started at Wichita, Kansas about 40 years ago by six decorated World War II veterans.
They had a dream.
The dream was to provide the very best fluid maintenance products available for automobiles.
Everybody has a dream, and that was theirs.
And they told their customers that BG products will help their cars last a lifetime.
They even offer a free lifetime protection plan if their cars, your cars are serviced with BG oil service and uh and fluids.
So it's a tough sell.
And I am I'm I can't tell you how flattered I am.
They're huge fans of the program, and they uh they have become sponsors last year, and you mil millions of you have gone to the website uh to uh to find uh uh a shop that uses BG products near you.
And probably with Obama owning the car companies are not a lot of new cars being sold, certainly not as many.
We know there aren't.
You're holding on to your car longer than you probably would.
You've always heard the best thing you can do is keep fresh transmission and engine oil uh treatments fluids uh in the car as often as you can.
That will prolong the life.
It's absolutely true, and a lifetime guarantee on the engine once you start BG oil services.
Go to their website, BG Findashop.com and help me show these guys how effective I am.
Making it about me.
That's what Obama does.
It must be in vogue.
Try this.
This is all over the nightly news a couple nights ago.
This is how this stuff gets started.
The left is just relentless.
Salt reduction could save 92,000 U.S. lives a year.
Salt reduction.
After Mayor Bloomberg says we're going to limit salt, you know that little the the girl with the umbrella on the Morton salt pack, she's gonna become the next Joe Campbell.
She's gonna become the next Marlborough man.
She's gonna become the next villainous.
The little girl with the umbrella on the Morton salt container.
No question about uh Karna, Naples, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Well, hello, Rush.
It's a delightful to be with you again.
Thank you.
Uh last time we talked, it was last summer, and and actually we talked about uh Obama creating jobs for White House Czars.
I remember you.
I remember you.
Well, now with his trip to Ohio and the job stock, it got me to thinking about a rather interesting event.
Um some time ago, I was actually invited to an evening event at the Obama White House, which is totally weird because I worked for President Reagan for six years, but I was invited to this event.
So I go to this event, and I'm wandering through the the various rooms during cocktails.
I'm in the East Room, and I got to talking to one of the guests there, who I didn't know to know anybody.
And nice gentleman, and we got to talking, and I said, What's your connection to this event?
And he said, Well, um, you see, Michelle's social secretary is my client.
I thought, hmm.
How's that go?
And he said, Well, which one, she's got about 30 people that work.
This woman has more attendance in Queen Victoria head.
Yeah, well, what he said was he said, Well, you see, um, I do her hair.
And I said, Oh, okay.
So he the hairdresser was invited to the White House event.
So he gets to telling me uh he has a uh salon up on the upper east side.
He's got twenty-two uh stylists working for him.
He's a nice guy, you know.
And so I looked at him and I said, you know, sir, uh this administration could actually use some people like you.
And he stared at me, like, you know, what are you talking about?
Hey, you know what, Karna?
I'm embarrassed.
I didn't I misread the clock when I took your call.
It's I've I've got I've got a hard break I can't miss.
Can we call you back Wednesday?
Because I want to hear this.
It's a good story.

And I want to give people a reason to hear this, but I can't, I'm not gonna be back till Wednesday.
Can we call you then?
Sure.
Okay, don't go away because I when Snurley needs to get your number.
I'm sorry.
Uh embarrasses me.
But we'll we'll pick this up on Wednesday from Las Vegas.
Well, who is it?
What's my broker is calling me now?
Broker knows I'm not this is just tell him to sell.
If if my broker's on the phone, just tell him to sell.
He don't have to talk to me.
No, you tell him to sell.
Well, he knows what I'm talking to.
