Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
And there's always somebody out there.
There's always something going on out there.
It's Friday, folks.
Let us go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open live.
Friday!
100!
That means we pay for it.
800-282-2882 People ask me, Rush, after all these years, why don't you get a call-in number like 1-800-HIRUSH?
I don't have that kind of ego.
I don't need a phone number named after me.
Our phone number works fine.
We never had any problem getting calls.
800-282-2882.
By the way, Snerdley just asked me, we're back there in his office.
He said, okay, Patrick Kennedy's not going to run.
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this the last of the Kennedys in Congress?
And I said, yeah.
And if I could somehow get the word to my dad, it might bring him back to life.
I could, folks.
It really could.
By the way, Chris Christie, New Jersey governor, has frozen spending.
The state's budget is in shambles.
He has sliced into the school surpluses, the New Jersey transit subsidies.
The Democrats are furious.
They're furious because he's doing exactly what he promised he would do.
This is the common sense we've been waiting for.
We weren't waiting for somebody to lower the seas.
We were waiting for an elected official in an executive branch to lower the sea of red ink and to get some sensibility back to budgeting.
We were waiting for a leader with guts to heal the spending sickness that grips bureaucrats and big spenders in legislature after legislature after legislature.
This is the kind of thing the Tea Party people are demanding.
And this, my friends, I hope is just the beginning.
Every state, every state is going to have to face tough decisions, and they're going to be state workers, many of them union workers.
They're going to get laid off.
They can't keep bailing them out from the federal government.
It isn't going to fly.
Budgets are going to have to be balanced to avoid bankruptcy.
And every time a state's governor takes the lead in returning fiscal sanity to his or her state, Barack Obama is going to be made to look that much weaker and that much more ineffective.
Governor Chris Christie, there is time to save the country.
This is what a rescue looks like.
This is exactly what a rescue looks like.
And by the way, one thing I have to point this out, ladies and gentlemen, because I'm a sharp observer of things.
Christie's moves of all these budget freezes.
During these recent snow emergencies, they've told all essential, or non-essential, rather, all non-essential federal and local government employees to stay home.
Now, in Washington, that totaled 240,000 people.
A vast majority of them turned out to be non-essential.
This is inescapable logic.
So why do we have any inessential government workers at any level?
240,000 for three straight days stayed home during the blizzards in Washington.
And they made the mistake of telling us all non-essential federal, local government employees stay home.
And look how many of them there are.
I got an idea to balance our budget.
That's just taking right after the model here of Chris Christie.
Do you realize, folks, how ridiculous and unsustainable and obscene it is that we have been presented a budget with a $1.6 trillion deficit, spending $3.4 trillion, $3.6 trillion?
$3.6 trillion with a $1.6 trillion deficit?
$1.6 trillion?
When Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, the federal budget was not even $1 trillion.
It was close, but it wasn't even $1 trillion.
Now, what was the federal budget in 2007?
Which was a pretty good year, was it not?
2007 was a pretty good year.
Unemployment was down.
Social Security was working out just fine.
It was $2.5 trillion.
You know, we could balance the budget right now if we would just reduce spending to what it was in 2007.
Are you trying to tell me that we cannot forget what we have spent the following three years, just the past three years?
The country will not function if we do that?
This is so absurd.
It is ridiculous that we are facing this.
But at least Governor Christie is showing the way.
The state's budget is in shambles.
The liberals are squealing like stuck pigs, but he's doing exactly what people elected him to do.
The governor also cut state subsidies to New Jersey Transit, saying it needs to become fiscally efficient, revisit its rich union contracts, Christie said.
And they may also have to consider service reductions or fare increases.
Ladies and gentlemen, is it wrong to love another man?
Because I love Chris Christie.
Taking on rich union contracts.
This is what is going to have to be done at the state and city level to balance these budgets in the states and cities and counties.
That's where all of this waste is.
That's where all the stimulus money went that was spent last year.
It went to bailout states to make sure that public employee union people were not laid off.
But the day is coming.
So the Obama budget, the Obama budget has $2.5 trillion of taxes.
That's what they estimate.
With $3.6, $3.8 trillion of spending.
Thomas G. Donlin of Barron's, February 8th this year, page 47.
Tax revenue is expected to reach $2.5 trillion next year, pretty much what the government spent in 2007.
So 2007 was a good year, pretty good year.
Three years ago, just three years ago, before the liberals took Congress, this is the key.
2007 is when Pelosi and the Democrats took over the House to join the Democrats in the Senate.
And you look at the explosion since 2007.
They turned a manageable deficit into a $1.6 trillion nightmare.
So we have a really solid idea here.
A rallying cry that could unite the Republicans and the Conservatives and the Tea Party and the Independents and even some liberals, those who pay taxes.
Just roll back spending to 2007 levels before Pelosi took over.
Roll back spending to 2007 before Pelosi and the Democrats wrecked the U.S. budget.
In other words, roll back Pelosi.
Just roll back.
Say it together, folks.
Say it.
Roll back Pelosi.
Say it with me.
Roll back Pelosi.
Because that's where the damage began and it has been truncated, not truncated.
It has been expanded by Obama and Democrat control of the Senate.
It is obscene.
Roll back Pelosi.
By the way, we just learned that the vegetarian lifestyle is causing global warming in Europe.
Snerdley, a place you might consider moving.
This is from Foxnews.com.
Congestion pricing to reduce car travel.
Elimination of curbside parking.
A carbon tax of some kind, not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags.
Advocating vegetarianism and veganism, complete with meatless or vegan Mondays.
Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Cambridge Climate Congress.
This is the hometown of Harvard.
The Cambridge Climate Congress, an entity created in May of last year to respond to the climate emergency plaguing Cambridge.
Going green will not be optional in Cambridge if the Cambridge Climate Congress has its way.
It will be mandatory.
Mandatory?
How does mandatory dovetail with individual liberty?
How does mandatory dovetail with freedom?
How does mandatory, how does that require everybody to go meatless on Monday or to go vegan?
Here's the Green Police from that Audi ad that ran in the Super Bowl.
Dr. Ken Green, a resident scholar on environment and energy at AEI, conservative Washington think tank said he found an overall redundancy in the proposals, specifically regarding a carbon-based tax coupled with congestion pricing, increased parking.
Who cares about the highfalutin intellectual look at this?
Can't we just look at the First Amendment aspect of this?
What if the concept of freedom?
What the hell gives the city of Cambridge the right to mandate that people not eat meat on a Monday?
What gives them the right to do that?
Speaker, I'm going to get off this global warming stuff, folks, if they just keep bombarding me with this.
From the UK Guardian, get this now, a member of an independent panel to investigate claims that climate scientists basically ran a hoax at the University of East Anglia, has been forced to resign.
Philip Campbell, editor-in-chief of Nature, stepped down from the panel yesterday.
Did you know that they had set up this independent panel to investigate what the hell happened at the Hadley Climate Research Unit at East Anglia?
How did this hoax happen?
How did this scam happen?
What in the world went wrong?
Why were they hiding the decline?
All this was to be investigated.
And this guy from Nature was on the panel.
And he was forced off after an interview emerged in which he said that there was nothing to suggest a cover-up by climate scientists at the University of East Anglia.
There was nothing.
Nothing.
Not one thing to suggest a cover-up.
He said, I made the remarks in good faith on the basis of media reports.
Nature, the guy that Nature magazine media reports.
What media reports?
U.S. media reports?
Anyway, he's gone, and we've got to take a break.
We'll do that.
Your phone calls are coming.
Lots of other stuff too.
The EIB networks open line Friday right after this.
We just about missed this story.
We almost missed this.
February 7th in the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Northside stimulus bogs down.
Last July, Vice President Biden stood in front of a hulking five-story abandoned factory in the North Side with good news.
The federal government had approved a $1.6 million in stimulus money to help transform the American Canned Building into new stores and apartments.
The project would create 100 construction jobs, proof, Biden said, that the stimulus was putting people to work.
Seven months later, the project remains stalled and has yet to make good on that promise.
The problem?
Are you sitting down?
While $1.6 million in federal money will help the developer clean up the site, the project still needs more than $4 million in private capital to get going.
And so far, the banks have been unwilling to lend it.
The vice president's office conceded the project has not moved as quickly as it had hoped.
But we didn't get into this mess overnight.
We aren't going to get out of it overnight.
What an abject fool.
Joe Byte, let's take a look.
Roll back Pelosi.
Federal spending, 2007, $2.5 trillion.
Great year.
Look at what it is now.
Let's compare things.
In the 2006 midterm elections, the Democrats took back control of Congress.
In January of 2007, the Dow Jones industrial average was $12,398.
Current, let me see what it is.
Current is $10,000.
Down 2,000 points.
2,400.
In January 2007, the unemployment rate, 4.6%.
Today, 10%.
The federal deficit, January 2007, $162 billion.
Today, $1.5 trillion.
Federal debt, January 2007, $8.7 trillion.
Current, $12.3 trillion.
Three years of damage, unlike we have never seen the Democrats and total control of the U.S. Congress.
All right, to the phones we go.
This is Rhett in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush and Dittos from the Tario State.
And I just want to tell you I appreciate you taking my call.
I also want to thank the men and women of the U.S. military for their service for our country.
And here's my question, and I've got to comment afterwards if I can make it.
Sure.
The midterm elections, the Blue Dog Democrats.
I want to know if you think we'll see a major defection in their ranks to change party affiliation now that they see the true Trotskyist agenda of Obama.
And because of his expansionist win-at-all-cost ideology, can we trust them?
It's going to be real interesting to see.
I have been warning the Blue Dogs that they're not going to be able to vote for any of these Obama agenda items and go home and pretend that they are fiscal conservatives.
A number of Democrats have already switched parties or announced that they're going to.
I think as we get closer to November and the unraveling of the Obama agenda continues, I don't know if they're going to change parties or not, or if they just quit.
I really don't.
But there's going to be a major upheaval, and they're going to know it, and it will dictate what they're going to do.
What is your comment?
Well, I just wanted to tell you that, you know, right now we've got the birthers of the Tea Party and the Tenthers of the Tenth Amendment, but I don't know if they've coined you as one of the truth tellers of our time for the conservative movement, but I consider you right up there with Joe Wilson of South Carolina and also Justice Salito, because y'all are exposing Barry for what he is.
He's not telling the American people the truth.
It's somewhat of a political equivalent of the emperor isn't wearing any clothes.
And that's the first step for America to take back this country is to realize that we have a problem.
And I just want to tell you, thanks for everything that you do.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks very much.
We finally got hold of the Bloomberg story.
I printed it out today, the interview that Obama gave, in which he said, oh, yeah, I like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan getting big bonuses.
Those are savvy guys.
I know both those guys.
And of course, the left had a cow.
That whole thing prints out to 13 pages.
It is striking.
When you read this, and it would take me too long, I mean, to go through all the excerpts of this thing, but when you read this Bloomberg piece that came out today, you are struck by two things.
This guy has an arrogance and a superiority complex like I have never seen, coupled with an acute, abject, total ignorance of how business operates, how it runs, what the principles are.
The guy is an absolute disaster.
He's got this personality trait of utter elitism, superiority, smarter, better than everybody else.
We are so lucky to have him.
He inherited all these problems.
And as he makes these problems worse, he's saving us.
And he doesn't have the slightest bit of understanding.
It's not really hard to understand that he doesn't understand it because he's never been in business.
And nobody in his administration ever has.
There are a bunch of theoreticians who hate it.
Professors, a bunch of professors who deal in theory all the time.
Did you ever see the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School?
One of my favorite portions of that movie got this stuffy pipe-smalling professor, pipe-smoking professor, who's an arrogant, condescending, has the leather patches on a tweed jacket on the elbows, has this vivis accent of the ass, pity all about him.
He's putting down theory on the chalkboard of how businesses work.
And Rodney Dangerfield is a successful waste management guy who is going back to school to try to get closer to his son, who's at the same school.
You got to watch this.
Sam Kinnison has a pretty small role, but it's hilarious.
And so this guy, the professor, also hates Rodney Dangerfield because Rodney Dangerfield has made a move on the professor's girlfriend, Sally Kellerman.
And she kind of likes Rodney Dangerfield.
He's, you know, he's a standard, ordinary businessman, but a little rough around the edges.
He's got a sleevy, sleazy, slick-looking chauffeur.
He brings in Kurt Vonnegut to write his finals papers because he didn't want to do the studying.
And Vonnegut gets a D, by the way.
Rodney Dangerfield chews him out and fires him.
But during this business class, this stuffy, arrogant, condescending professor is describing on the chalkboard how business works and how you go get money to start it and the capital here and capital there.
And after he finishes, any questions, Claus, and Rodney Dangerfield puts his hands up.
You left a whole lot of stuff out here.
You want to enlighten us?
Well, yeah, I mean, before you can do any of that, you got to go talk to the people who are going to take your trash away.
And if you think that's easy, you got to be prepared to do some stuff under the line and you got to be able to go behind closed doors and do something.
Because if you don't get those people on your side, your business is never going to open.
And he's, well, we don't run businesses in our classroom like yours, Mr. Whatever's name was.
He just kept making mincemeat out of this professor because the professor, and it was, it's great.
It's funny as hell because it was a clear illustration.
Somebody in the business, even though it's a movie, somebody in the business world telling a professor who drives his cheap little tiny MG around smoking his pipe, who doesn't have the foggiest idea how business works.
He's teaching it, versus a guy who's in the business world is a multi-multi-millionaire success at it.
And of course, the professor tells the business he doesn't know what he's talking about.
And it's just, this is what we face now.
Obama is that professor.
When you read this interview at Bloomberg, it's just, it's, it's, it's dangerous.
It is really dangerous.
The people that elected this guy owe us big time.
We want to send out our best wishes to President Clinton, who's back home resting comfortably after a couple of stints placed in a blocked coronary artery yesterday at the hospital in New York.
And we just, all of us need to be thankful we don't yet have Obamacare.
Otherwise, somebody on the death panel might have assumed that he's old and retired and might not have been worth the expense.
You never know.
You just never know.
Back to the phones we go.
Francis, Nashville, Tennessee, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
I'm trying to stop laughing after that one.
You may be able to help me, Rush.
Most people I know are absolutely convinced that I'm a full-fledged conservative because I've been listening to you for about 10 years, and I agree with you about 98.5% of the time.
Yeah, that pretty much seals the deal.
Well, I only disagree with you on the rare occasions that you're wrong.
But, you know, I grew up in a very liberal Democratic background.
And what I've learned, especially in the last 10 years or so, is that everything I was taught to believe about liberals and conservatives turns out to be exactly the opposite.
When you grow up being a liberal, you think that liberals are in favor of individual liberty and freedom and are opposed to oppression and tyranny and all that.
And what I've learned more and more is that it's really just the opposite.
And if somebody had said to me in 1992, you know, Rush Limbaugh, I would have said, oh, well, he's just some right-wing nutcases.
And, of course, I had never actually listened to you in 1992.
And I think that one of the things about liberals is they kind of parrot stuff that they've been taught almost robotically without ever really questioning it or analyzing it.
Oh, yeah, there's no question about that.
So here's where I need your help because this is the question.
Can I be a conservative and yet be opposed to amending the federal constitution to prohibit abortion and to prohibit homosexual marriage?
Yeah.
Conservative.
Yeah.
Conservatism is not something that excludes.
There's no litmus test here.
I tell you, abortion, the only choice that the Democrats and the left are going to allow before it's all over is abortion.
It's the only choice they're going to allow.
But, you know, gay marriage, both of those things are not going to be solved by amending the Constitution, and nobody's trying to.
Those things are going to be solved or dealt with at the state level.
And they're not going to be pleasing to people.
I mean, it's, but these are things that as a, you know, those are cultural issues, the so-called social issues, which a lot of Republicans have, they want nothing to do with.
But still, those are things the people of the country ought to vote on via the elected leaders that they send to various state legislatures around the country.
We've never voted on abortion.
You know, abortion does not nearly royal the British society like it does ours because they voted on it there.
It was not imposed by a Supreme Court, nine people wearing black robes.
Gay marriage, there's a political issue behind gay marriage.
The militant homosexual community has been pushing the envelope on a lot of things.
But the way to deal with all of these is to have the people of the country or various states vote on them.
Yeah, I agree with you at the state level, not at the federal level.
Right.
Yeah, that's the question.
You're going to get people arguing.
Well, if one state allows gay marriage and 48 don't, are you saying every gay that wants to get married has to go to that state?
Well, yeah, at some point, that's what the practical end result of it would be.
And it's still going to be a controversial issue because where the states have voted to make it illegal, the gays are going to continue to press and force the issues so that they can change the vote there, which is what the country is all about.
Okay.
Well, you've relieved me.
Now, just tell me one other thing.
Yeah.
Why is it called conservatism and not conservativism?
We don't have liberalism.
We have liberalism.
Well, because that's just word structure.
That has nothing to do with changing the meaning or deflecting it or hiding it.
It's like, why do we call the Democrat Party the Democratic Party and the Republican Party not the Republicanic Party?
Okay.
See, I call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, and they get ticked off because they like the illusion of Democratic, Democratic Party, Democratic National Convention.
So I call them Democrat Party, Democrat National Convention.
They get livid about it all the time.
By the way, I need to correct myself one, a rare error, but it will not subtract from my accuracy rating.
Thanks, by the way, Francis, for the call.
I made an error of fact.
Rodney Dangerfield is not in a waste removal business in the movie Back to School.
He runs a big and fat clothing store, a men's big and tall shop, a series of them all over the country.
Now, we have tracked down that segment of the movie.
We got to edit.
I mean, it's a ribald movie.
And it's a movie.
Rodney Dangerfield is a ribald comedian.
We're going to have to bleep out just a few expressions that he uses in it.
But we're preparing it right now, and you'll be able to hear it very soon here on the EIB network.
Now, this next story, this is shocking, even for unions and even for Michigan.
This story, when you hear this, this makes card check look like child's play.
This is from Fox Business Blogs.
This is a John Stossel story, and it's called Forced Unionization.
Get this.
Michelle Berry runs a daycare business out of her home in Flint, Michigan.
She thought that she owned her own business, but she's been told that she is now a government employee and a union member, and it's not voluntary.
And Obama wonders why people don't want to hire anybody.
Obama wonders why people don't want to start businesses.
Now a union can take over your home-based business thanks to government.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Here are the rest of the story details.
Suddenly, Michelle Berry and 40,000 other Michigan private daycare providers have learned that union dues are being taken out of the child care subsidies that the state sends them.
The union is a creation of AFSCME, the Government Workers Union, and the United Auto Workers.
This racket means big money to AFSCME, which runs the union, writes the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a free market think tank.
Today, the Department of Human Services siphons about $3.7 million in annual dues to the union.
Now, the money should be going to home-based daycare providers, themselves not on the high end of the income stale.
Ms. Berry now sees money once paid to her go to a union that does nothing for her.
Patrick Wright, who is a lawyer for the Mackinac Center, says that the union was forced on the women, 40,000 of them, after a certification election conducted by mail, in which only 6,000 daycare providers out of the 40,000 voted.
Wright told Stossel his clients, like Michelle Berry, say they were shocked to learn they were suddenly in a union.
They want nothing to do with it.
One of the clients has said, look, look, this is my home.
I'm both labor and management here.
They wanted nothing to do with this union, and they don't think that it has any purpose beside siphoning money away from them.
And Michigan isn't the only state funding unions this way.
14 states have now enabled home-based daycare providers to be organized into public employee unions, affecting about 233,000 people.
This is how unions now recruit by force, because nobody wants them.
And this woman didn't even know.
Didn't even know.
She'd got a federal subsidy, I guess, to run the daycare center along with 40,000 of her women, people.
And part of the subsidy is going to pay union dues for her.
And she had no idea.
Mackinac sued Michigan on behalf of the daycare owners, but the case was dismissed.
They have appealed.
Neither Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, the Department of Human Services, nor the union would talk to Stossel about this.
But last month, Michigan Representative Justin Imish proposed a law that would end stealth unionization of private entrepreneurs.
Card check.
Anybody?
Anybody need cart check?
And we don't need it.
They're already doing it this way.
Haberback Rushland by the EIB network.
By the way, a new 24-hour snowfall record in Dallas.
12.5 inches for DFW Airport.
180,000 people without power.
And this is all because of global warming, you see.
All this moisture in the air, global warming.
Now, remember, folks, we get the summertime.
It usually gets hot.
As Al Gore reminded us, it's going to get hotter this summer than at any other time of the year.
And we're going to hear when we have these wild gyrations, oh, global warming.
I want you just to remember back how cool, abnormally so, last summer was.
We're on a roll here of below normal temperatures.
Okay, we've got now it's two hours, sorry, two minutes, 15 seconds.
This is the scene where real life meets the economics professor Rodney Dangerfield's first economics class with the elite professor in the movie, Back to School.
Let's start by looking at construction costs of our new factory.
What's the product?
That is immaterial for the purposes of our discussion here.
But if it makes you happy, let's say we're making tape recorders.
Tape recorders?
Are you kidding?
The shit will kill us on a labor course.
Okay, fine.
Then let's just say they're widgets.
What's a widget?
It's a fictional product.
It doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Tell that to the bank.
Easy, take it easy.
It's the first day.
On the board, you will see a cost analysis for construction of a 30,000 square foot facility, which will encompass both factory and office space and is fully serviced by all utilities, a railroad spur line, and a four-bay shipping dock.
Hold on, hold on.
Why, Bill?
You're better off leasing it a buck and a quarter, a buck and a half a square foot.
Take your damn payment and put it into CDs or something else you can roll over every couple of months.
Thank you, Mr. Mellon.
But we'll be concentrating on finance a little later in the term.
For the time being, let's just concentrate on the construction figures, shall we?
You will see the final bottom line requires the factoring in of not just the material and construction costs, but also the architects' fees and the costs of land servicing.
Oh, you left out a bunch of stuff.
Oh, really?
Like what, for instance?
Well, first of all, you're going to have to grease local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up.
Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters.
And if you plan on using any cement in this building, I'm sure the teams would like to have a little chat with you.
And that'll cost you.
Oh, and I'll get something for the building inspectors.
Then there's a long-term course, such as waste disposal.
I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business, but I assure you it's not the Boy Scouts.
That'll be quite enough, Mr. Mellon.
Maybe bribes and kickbacks and mafia payoffs are how you do business.
But they are not part of the legitimate business world.
And they're certainly not part of anything I'm teaching in this class.
Do I make myself clear?
Sorry, just trying to help.
That's all.
Now, notwithstanding Mr. Mellon's input, the next question for us is where to build our factory.
How about fantasy land or honey danger field?
That professor, that's Obama.
When you read this Bloomberg piece, Obama doesn't even know that much.
He doesn't even know that much.
By the way, there's a new story.
I've got this deep in the stack here.
Chocolate may lower the risk of stroke, especially when it's on strawberries.
Especially when it's not like Sherry's Berry's.
Chocolate may lower the risk of stroke.
How many times have we heard chocolate's going to kill us?
By the way.
All right.
This is just not fair.
This is just not fair.
The Wall Street Journal.
For those wondering why luxury spending is back, even as unemployment hovers close to 10%, consider this.
Unemployment among the affluent is only 3%.
Unemployment among the affluent only unemployment among the affluent is only 3%.
That's just not fair.
According to a study from Northeastern University Center for Labor Studies, unemployment for those in the top income group, the decile, individuals earning more than $150,000 a year was 3% in the fourth quarter of 2009, which compares with unemployment of 31% for the bottom 10% of income and unemployment of 9% for the middle decile.
The 10 categories are instead of 5, quintiles or decile.
What's fair about that?
What the hell is fair about that?
Joseph in Vancouver, great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Oh, my God, Rush.
This is the greatest honor of my life.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
I understand that.
I'm 56.
I travel all over the world, and I'm an educator, and I've also been in business.
So I've been on both sides of this thing, and I teach theater.
And I'm calling about the Camelot allegory.
Oh, yes.
Well, you know, it's a perfect myth to address this whole thing with Obama.
Because if you follow the whole playthrough to the end, at the end, Camelot is destroyed by the illegitimate son of King Arthur and a Trist with Queen of the Fairies.
Yes, yes.
And that's Morris.
He comes back in and he attacks Camelot and destroys it.
And he sings this song called The Seven Deadly Virtues.
And it would be like a perfect thing for Obama's voice to be singing that.
I mean, it's incredible.
And you have King Arthur would have been, I guess, Kennedy, and Lancelot would be Clinton.
And Carter is the crazy King Telenor, who's the guest of King Arthur.
So, I mean, the allegory is perfect.
Well, who would Obama be?
Queen of Mordred.
Who?
Mordred.
Mordred.
Illegitimate son.
Son.
Now for the Camelot.
For the sake of peace, for me, over the weekend, would you spell fairies as in Queen of Fairies?
I think her name is Morgaus.
All you have to do is get the script for Camelot.
No, no, no, but you're no, no, no.
I totally understand.
But you said Queen of Fairies.
Yeah, King Arthur went into the forest and was subdued by trickery, witchcraft, and then the queen had a relation with him, and the child of that illegitimate relationship was Mortred.
Right.
But she was queen of what?
The fairies.
I just need you to spell the queen.
The fairies.
Fairies.
Fairies.
Like the mystical, the tinker bells that are in the forest.
Oh, F-A-I-R-I-E-S.
OK, I just I just because he said it, I just want a peaceful weekend.
Okay, well, thank you so much.
It's a great honor to be on your show.
Thank you.
No, Joseph, that's great.
It's a great idea, and we've got just the guy to put this together.
Just the guy, Paul Shanklin, white comedian, to put this together.
You know, we're calling it Camel Not now because the last Kennedy is leaving Congress.
The last Kennedy's leaving Washington.
A Camelot ends with a horrible ending.
Why would they choose that for the allegory of their, you know, well, you know, they didn't choose that until after JFK was assassinated.
And I think it was Jackie, Jackie O who came up with that.
Well, yeah, Ted White.
Theodore White came up with it.
The ending's not good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was manufacturer and a public hymn.
It was great marketing at the time.
And the press, the press is still longing for the next one.
They thought they had it with the Clinton administration, but that kind of went down the tubes with a semen-stained blue dress.
And it happened again, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm misinformed by a well-meaning member of the staff.
It was Ted Sorensen and Jackie O who created, they just made it up Camelot to describe JFK's years in the White House.
It was not Theodore White, Theodore Sorensen, who wrote most of what JFK uttered in speeches and in his books.
Okay, fastest three hours in media, two of them in the can on the way over to the warehouse housing artifacts for the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum.
One hour remains.
