Time Text
Yeah, he's running for president.
He's running for pres Evan Bai, the son of Birch Bye, says he's leaving the Senate because of excessive partisan gridlock.
Excessive partisan gridlock.
For all of last year, his part, his party had 60 seats in his Senate.
They still have 59.
I mean, he's bailing out of this even before the summit.
I mean, you're gonna get some bipartisan there, Evan, at the Obama Presidential Health Care Summit on February 25th, bailing out before that.
Greetings, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network on President's Day, 800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Al Gore has a blog.
Folks, you're not gonna believe this.
He has made a statement.
And it is without any foot in reality.
He is using the media who is using faulty science to make changes in politics, just as I said, from blog.algore.com, Al's Journal.
From the home office in Nashville, I kid you not, right here in my formerly bigger team stained finger.
Al's Journal, February 12th, 2010, a couple days ago, 7.08 p.m., worse than we thought.
More evidence of the climate crisis is unfolding before our eyes.
The situation in the Arctic is worse than data from satellite pictures have told us.
This I'm not gonna read this whole thing to you, folks, but it's um it's hilarious.
It's I don't I this guy, when he goes somewhere to make a speech on global warming, he snowed out or iced out everywhere he goes.
So February 12th was Friday.
It was on Saturday or Sunday that the UK Daily Mail publishes the interview with Phil Jones, whatever his name is over there at the Hadley unit, who says, Yep, it's all made up.
It hadn't been any warming since 1995.
Two days before that admission, here comes Brother Al Gores, worse than we thought.
The country is digging out of folks.
I got look, I've been teasing you about fleeing the cold weather, and I've been teasing you, complaining that it was so cold it barely hit 70 in the Bahamas, but it barely hit it.
In fact, two days we were there, did not get the 70.
It was 73 on Friday night we got there.
It never got the 70 on Saturday or Sunday.
It was at 55 at night in the Bahamas.
They are not prepared for it.
They don't have heat in any structure over there.
They're not prepared for it.
This is, they couldn't believe it.
This is so unlikely, it's so unusual.
I can't remember the last time this.
And guess what?
They're only gonna reach 70 one day this week.
They're gonna be in the 50s, and that day is today.
They're gonna be in the 50s all week, just like we are here.
I mean, normally what happens, you have a coal front that hits the southeast United States.
By the time it gets down to the Bahamas, which is due west practically of Miami, Nassau is uh due east of Miami, the warm water temperatures warm the air enough so that coal fronts generally don't get down there.
So anyway, this is it's it's it's it is not a joke.
It really is not a joke.
I have I have watched people of all political and apolitical persuasions grapple poorly, I might add, with the flood of news and information about the collapse of the great man-made global warming hoax.
Folks, I'm dead serious about this.
There has been such a massive uh emotional and intellectual uh investment in this issue in the man-made global warming fraud that millions, if not billions of people here and around the world, have bought into it.
And they need to be welcomed back to the universe of reality from the universe of lies.
Uh, we have to allow them back with their heads held high.
And I'm not talking about the Al Gores and the Phil Jones.
I'm talking about the average ordinary duped citizen.
Has bought into this uh admitting, stop and think for a moment how they must.
I mean, they have been the biggest dupes in modern history.
And they now know it or soon will.
They have been played for the biggest suckers to come down the pike in a long time, and they bought it, hook lined and sinker.
And admitting to having been thoroughly duped is not easy.
They may not want to give up their belief.
It may be easier emotionally for these people to continue to believe the hoax than it is to come back to the universe of reality.
It's a painful thing to admit that you have been made a fool of.
It is a painful thing to be reminded how stupid you've been.
It is a painful thing to realize what a dope and an idiot you have been.
Most people do not want to admit that they have been doped, duped, or are dopes and idiots.
This is why I was kind to Perot voters and welcomed them back with open arms after that.
They eventually saw the light.
They hated me when I was telling them what was, they despised me.
My broadcast partners at the time worried I was going to lose my audience and thus my show.
And they wanted me to come out and support Peros.
I can't do it.
It's a hoax.
Perot doesn't even want to win.
And there was concern and worry at the highest levels of the EIB network.
Except the level occupied by me, which was the highest level.
It's the same thing now.
Except we have a world of Perot voters.
A world of duped, decent, caring, compassionate, only want to do the right thing, idiots.
A people who have been duped by something that has been presented to them almost as a religion.
They've donated time.
They've donated money.
They have walked, they have marched, they have done car washes for peace, car washes to save the polar bears.
They've done all of these things that people do emotionally to make themselves feel better.
These were the people who were told they were responsible for all of this.
It was their advanced lifestyle, it was their automobile, their SUV, it was their use of fossil fuels that was causing the polar bears to lose their habitat and ultimately die when in fact the population explosion among polar bears is such that people have to go shoot them now.
So these people were blamed and they sought redemption.
They agreed to hire taxes.
They agreed to drive around little puddle jumpers and risk them and their families at high speeds on the highways.
They agreed to roll back their lifestyles, and then some of them became zealots and demanded that everybody else roll back their lifestyles as well.
They donated money to further the hoax regarding the idea that by simply living our lives we were destroying the planet.
These hysterics and other well-meaning people have angrily ridiculed and lambasted their fellow man who did not fall for the scam.
We were called deniers in an effort to tie us to Holocaust deniers.
And to now suddenly come to the realization, or at least secretly suspect that it was all a lie for whatever reason it was a lie, and most people do not want to believe.
It's a lie.
As a person who studies and is an expert on the subject of human behavior, that's me.
I can confidently report that there's going to be all kinds of emotional fallout from this orchestrated deceit.
You're gonna have people wandering aimlessly out there not knowing now what's up and what's down.
As a person whose career has existed on the cutting edge of societal evolution, I, the all-knowing, all seeing, all caring, all feeling Maharashi.
Am that someone.
That's the use of the nominative.
I am that someone to once again get out ahead of the curve, which is where I live every day.
There's gonna be anger, there's gonna be denial, there's gonna be detachment.
There will be a whole host of reactions to what is now admitted to be climate fraud.
It is clear that science was politicized and has become one of the four corners of deceit.
Academia has been politicized for years, as has journalism.
And that is now beyond a reasonable doubt.
There is a problem, nevertheless, that must be solved.
Someone who has total credibility on this issue, someone who has been right from the beginning.
That person is I should and must step forward with a plan to allow otherwise critically thinking human beings with a path back to reality.
The universe of lies is not their real home.
There's a safe way back to the universe of reality where we all are.
And just as I welcomed parole voters back to this audience with forgiveness and understanding, so shall we attempt the same thing with these poor people who have been duped for decades now into believing this hoax and furthermore believing they were responsible for it.
It has been insidious.
Not only was there global warming, it was being caused by people simply trying to live a better life.
In other words, progress, progress was to blame for the destruction of the planet, and most people want to matter.
Most people want to be somebody.
They want to be able to tell themselves that they are more than just a walking piece of cells soaking up energy.
They want to say to themselves that they matter, and so they accepted the hoax that it was their fault, and they embarked on plans to make it right, agreeing to elect fraudulent political people, Democrats mostly, uh, to office in order to take from them the things that caused the destruction of the planet or were causing.
That's how they sought to matter.
And we must welcome them back and re-educate them that progress is good and has not hurt anything.
It's only helped.
So I'm putting together a peace initiative.
The limbaugh peace initiative that calls for amnesty for warmers, not amnesty for Al Gore, not amnesty for the scientists, not amnesty for the politicians, not amnesty for the knowing fraudsters.
I'm talking about amnesty for the duped.
Amnesty for the suckers.
Amnesty for those who, because they were laden with guilt, they did not deserve, bought into this hoax.
Now, my initiative, my peace initiative is not complete here, but here's a preview of what I'm thinking.
Subject to change at all times.
I may put together an amnesty summit for warmers and invite members of Congress and the president.
But they botch everything so badly that I'll probably just announce the initiative as my own and not gum up the works with a bunch of people who would screw it up anyway.
I'll announce further details of this amnesty program as the program unfolds in future days and weeks.
But some of the things that you can do now, stop contributing to any group that still participates in the fraud known as man-made global warming.
Do not read anything written by any scientist who tells you there is man-made global warming.
Demand in writing that schools cease and desist from advancing the agenda of environmentalist wackos.
Get it out of the textbooks.
Tell your kids that if any teacher or professor perpetuates this fraud and hoax that there is man-made global warming, that they are not to believe one syllable of it.
People's emotions have been scarred here.
The four corners of deceit have been exposed, and people around the world are in denial, and some are in a state of shock.
Somebody, grounded in reality, has to help them cope and offer them a path back home, just as we did the parole voters.
That person is I. Look, folks, this is not all bad.
I mean, a lot of people ought to be happy, like Cheryl Crow.
She can start using more than one sheet of toilet paper again.
You remember that?
A critical perfect example of a duped person.
Actually suggested only one sheet of toilet paper to save the planet.
Would you want to live with that person?
Yeah.
Not I. Not me.
Uh, and for those of you who have been duped.
Look at I'm I'm coming to you with sincerity here.
Uh my amnesty program is about helping you cope, offering you a path back home.
That's what this is all about.
Helping people, really helping people.
Not Obama helping people, which is screwing them.
Really helping people.
And not for recognition, not for some phony peace prize, but because it's the right thing to do.
And there's even an upside.
For the duped.
It's not like the global warming agenda was completely implemented.
You found out before we all had to start paying through the nose for it.
You didn't buy a carbon credit, did you?
I know I didn't.
And you fall for that scam?
Probably some of you have.
But you haven't been totally duped into changing your lifestyle.
It is a godsend what has happened.
And we're gonna be on a cutting edge of the here.
This is from the American Thinker.com, February 15th.
A major issue nobody is talking about.
Littering the landscape with rusting wind farm junk that continues to kill birds and leak fluids, among other problems.
Wind energy's ghosts.
Bankrupt Europe has a lesson for Congress about wind power.
That sound floats on the winds of Cayley, the southernmost tip of Hawaii's big island, where Polynesian colonists first landed 1500 years ago.
Some say the place is haunted, and it is, but not by Hawaii's legendary night marchers.
The mysterious sounds are the disembodied voices of 37 skeletal wind turbines abandoned to rust on the 100-acre site of the former Kamoa wind farm.
Rust, leaking fluids.
Clean green energy, yet another aspect of the hoax.
By the way, this is a funny story.
This is Politico.com.
Democrats are shocked at the reasoning Evan Bye is giving for retiring.
Peter Finn, Democrat Media Consultant.
I'm shocked, shocked.
Usually this is said in sarcasm from the line in the movie Casablanca, but this one comes a big surprise and should engender more than a typical political horse race analysis.
If what Evan is saying about the political environment in Washington is truly the reason for his departure, and I believe it is.
That should mean something to people on both sides of the aisle.
This is not the same Senate that his father served in for 18 years.
This is not the same public service career that Evan signed up for at age 30.
Partisan gridlock, victory all dripping from nearly every press release.
60 votes accepted to rename a post office.
Serious problem swept under the rug because Congress can't function.
That's not a blip.
This is a sad commentary on our politics.
But why did these people run for office in the first place?
Hopefully, not simply to get re-elected again and to get.
Yes, Peter, that would be the reason.
That and power and money under the table.
Partisan grid block.
Thank God for it.
And if that's the real reason he's quitting, how the hell can you have partisan gridlock when your party has 60 freaking seats?
How can you have partisan gridlock when you have a supermajority in the Senate and a clear-cut majority in the House?
How can there be partisan gridlock?
Oh.
What do you say about the truth, Sterling?
Well, apparently can't tell the truth.
The partisan gridlock.
If there's partisan gridlock, it's partisan Democrats who can't get along with each other from the House to the Senate.
What the hell here?
Partisan gridlock?
And now Peter Finn.
Oh, it's so bad.
It's true.
It's true.
60 votes to rename a postal.
Thank God.
Geez.
Place is a.
Can you imagine being in a room full of Joe Biden's?
I mean, that's what it is.
Who would want that?
Quick phone call here.
This is Vance in Francisco, Indiana.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Good afternoon, Russ from Southwest Indiana.
Thank you, sir.
Home state of Indiana slut, Evan Bai.
Yes.
The beginning of the end rush for Evan Bay was when he uh he earned the nickname, the Indiana slut for voting for Obama's health care.
That's what he's known as Indiana, Indiana slut.
Well, you know, we got Ben Nelson of the Nebraska.
He's prostitute.
Mary Landrew prostituted her vote out down in Louisiana.
Evan Bay got nothing.
He went with Obama.
He went with hell.
Oh, I report.
So you can't call him a prostitute.
He has to be a slut.
Gotcha.
He got nothing for his vote.
That's the beginning of the end of Evan Bay.
Except a ticket out of town.
Got a ticket out of town.
Okay, so you got prostitutes in Nebraska, prostitutes in Louisiana, but slut in Indiana.
You know what?
You know what the male word for uh for uh a male slut is?
No, I don't.
You don't?
No.
Do you know what it is, Don?
Stir.
Libertine will work, but no, it's a Sater.
S-A-S-S-A-T-Y-R.
Look it up.
I'm the host, look it up.
S-A-T-Y-R, I think that's how you spell it.
Libertine will work as well.
Racontour, not quite there.
Uh but still think your reason is funny.
Prostitutes get something, slut's note.
Back after this.
We're back, El Rush Bo, serving humanity simply by showing up on a holiday.
Just for you.
That will show you our level of commitment to excellence here at the Limbaugh Institute.
800 282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Some doubting Thomas is out there, a friend of mine sends me this note.
These people, Rush, these uh even the duped people.
They're never gonna admit that they're wrong.
Any more than the left has admitted that communism was wrong.
I mean, even after the wall has come down, they still won't admit communism is wrong, they're still trying to impose it on us.
This is nobody's ever said that communism's a hoax.
I mean, I've said it.
But the communists, leading communists have never come out and said, guess what, folks?
Communism is a hoax.
It's a false promise.
We've been making it all up, we've been lying, communism, nobody's ever said that.
But the global warming deniers or the global warming architects of deceit are saying now it was all a hoax.
That's a big, big difference.
I mean, it can be some stages of grief that these people are gonna go through here.
It's gonna take a highly trained professional like me to help these people.
You're gonna have denial, then you're gonna have anger, and then bargaining.
And then depression.
If they get past that, they get past all that, then there will be the acceptance.
It's gonna be a long process.
I don't, I don't doubt that.
I admit I'm taking on a lot here.
But it's worth it.
Because it's the right thing to do.
What a day this is.
What a day.
From the Politico.com.
More Democrats weigh in on the centrist.
Evan Bai.
This guy is as far to the left as Obama is.
He's voted right down the line with Obama on every Obama issue.
Diane Ravich.
Professor of Education, NYU and Brookings.
Evan Bay's retirement is not a good sign for the future of bipartisanship.
He is a centrist, and it seems that the center is not holding.
This they can't, these people cannot possibly believe this.
If senators such as Bai leave or lose the rancor in Washington, we'll get it louder and meaner.
Not good for the country, not good for Obama's agenda.
Damn right, Diane.
There ought to be rancor over this agenda.
It's un-American.
There I've said it.
The Obama agenda is un-American, not as we've known America.
They're trying to remake it.
He's even said so.
Is redistribution of wealth American?
Is that what this country was founded on?
Mike McCurry, former White House press secretary.
Evan Bide part of the glue that holds an increasingly polarized place like the U.S. Senate together.
What?
Evan by is part of the glue that holds an increasingly polarized place like this.
They had 60 votes, Mike.
What is this?
The Democrats can't hold together.
And it's because of Obama.
Central centrism is not much in fashion these days, but the lack of it is wrecking our country.
No, it's saving it.
A lack of centrism is saving our country.
Doug Wilder, who last week wrote a piece saying that Obama needs to fire the Chicago thug acracy surrounding him because they're misleading him.
Forgetting that Obama is the lead thug of the Chicago thug acracy was uh was on C-SPAN's Washington, that would be Washington for those of you in the Rio Linda Journal on Saturday morning.
Does anybody watch C-SPAM on Saturday morning?
Other than people.
Certainly does.
What?
Do you also dress up in revolutionary war garb and run around and pretend?
Well, that's what people who watch C-SPAN on Saturday morning do.
I once, in my my my ill-fated one year in college, I had a college history professor that did that.
They uh they they reenacted a civil war in Cappaha Park with the blues and the grays.
They actually pretended to shoot people and die.
This is a forerunner of the Great Peace March for global nuclear disarmament, which when they walked across the country, they got to the energy department, and they died at a die-in on the steps there, and they just poured red paint all over themselves in the steps, simulate what would happen in a moment of nuclear blast.
Actually, it's what would happen in a saw movie.
A nuclear blast, you wouldn't see any blood, it'd be vaporized.
Have you seen the Saw movies?
You don't want to.
If you if you don't know about them, you know you don't you don't want to watch them.
But they do pose an interesting moral premise.
In fact, I just watched Saw Six last night.
Oh, yeah, I've watched them.
I watched Sauce 6 last day.
It's gruesome.
But it's all about the immorality of insurance companies and health care.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Even the Saul movies got political.
Now I like Tobin Bell, who played the evil bad guy in these movies.
Tobin Bell was also in the first or second season of 24.
He's a great evil mastermind guy.
Anyway, Doug Wilder, where was I?
It's hard.
It's not hard.
It is hard to stay focused on somebody like Doug Wilder.
Eminently boring.
Uh that's why he's on C-SPAN on Saturday.
And he was uh Washington Journal and had a caller from Ohio.
Why has Obama and his spokespeople allow certain people to Republican Party to get away with saying that they hope he fails?
Somebody like Rush Limbaugh could get away with it because he's not a patriot in any way, shape, or form.
He's a political pundit.
Nonetheless, he and anybody else who would ever publicly state that they hope the president should fail should be called out and said, How can you possibly be a patriot?
Predict failure, that's okay.
Hope for it, no way.
They're really saying they want to see themselves fail.
They want to see their country fail.
They want to see uh their children and their grandchildren fail.
Anyone who wants to see that isn't really speaking for the betterment of our country and our nation.
And uh there's no need to continue to argue with those people.
Nobody's arguing with me, Governor.
They're denouncing me, but nobody's nobody will debate me on this.
Uh, but how can you get how how can somebody be so wrong?
They're saying they want to see themselves fail?
No.
Governor, I want I I want to continue to succeed, and I don't want some president taking away the opportunity.
And I want every American to have the chance to succeed.
I want every American and his kids and grandkids to have a chance to succeed, and it's being taken away from us by Barack Obama.
If Obama gets what he wants, success is gonna have to be defined in a whole different way.
Like, how much did I score from the government last month?
Not how well am I doing my job.
Anyone who wants to see that isn't really speaking for the betterment of our country.
We're trying to save it, Governor.
We're trying to save America from this assault.
A caller from Ohio.
The comments by a gentleman who disagreed with Rush Limbaugh's ability or right to say he hopes Obama fails.
He didn't want him to fail.
He wants his policies to fail, such as cap and trade, this overblown health care stimulus plan.
I get tired of people taking certain things out of context, making an issue out of them.
And that's what I really have to say.
Thank you very much.
Well, you know that old expression.
It ain't what you do as the way you do it.
It ain't what you say as the way you say it.
A lot of people have come away with the idea that Mr. Limbaugh's impression and his statements were calculated to say that he wished that the president would fail.
That hasn't been corrected by Mr. Limbaugh.
Oh, we're correct.
He has every opportunity because he's on live all the time to say, no, I wish the president does not fail.
I don't think you're going to get him to say that.
No way.
If he adopts a Reagan agenda, I'm going to be the biggest supporter Barack Obama has in this country.
If he adopts a freedom and liberty and economic expansion of the private sector, not government agenda, he's going to have the biggest supporter in the world in me.
But if he continues on this path of wrecking the country as we've known it, I do want him to fail.
Wanting him to fail is identical with his policies failing.
I wanted Gorbachev to fail.
I wanted Stalin to fail.
I wanted Deng Xiaoping to fail.
I want Chavez to fail.
I hoped that Castro would fail.
Now, Sturdivant's going nuts in there.
Why are you going...
What's possible?
On president's day.
Oh, on President's Day, Limbaugh doubles down.
Obama to fail.
Oh, guess get this.
How bright are these people representing us?
Here's here's Hillary Clinton this morning in Doha Cutter.
That's Qatar, for those of you who believe in traditional translations.
She was speaking to a televised university audience.
We see that the government of Iran, the Supreme Leader, the president, the Parliament, is being supplanted, and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship.
You know, that is our view.
Duh.
What was your first clue?
When did you figure this out, Hillary?
Oh, yeah.
How about that professor?
How about that female professor denied tenure in Alabama and unloaded on three people?
Turns out that she shot her brother in 1986.
And you know who the DA back then was?
Was um Massachusetts Congressman Bill Delahunt.
Who didn't file charges?
Uh thought it was an accident.
Now they're re-looking into that because and this woman, it is said that this woman was a far nutty left-wing radical obsessed with Obama to the point of being off-putting to colleagues about it.
So she's a nutcase.
She got denied tenure.
She starts unloading on people.
Um Dellahunt may be the next to flee.
You know, Massachusetts falling apart.
I mean, apparently, Ted Kennedy was the glue that killed held that place together.
And it's all Massachusetts is not what it was.
Hey, everybody weighing in on my uh on my peace initiative for the uh duped.
Global warming.
Oh, come on, Russia's a bunch of BS.
We don't need very many of these idiots to admit that they're idiots.
We're always gonna have 20 to 30 percent of the wacko idiot population of this country never changing its mind on things.
The trick is to not let them run things.
And and that's that's what we've had for over a year now.
The idiots and the wackos are running things.
All we need is a simple majority of people, like in New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, to stop all of this.
You're never gonna convert the 20 to 30 percent.
Who the hell wants to waste time in the idiots anyway?
See, nobody has compassion for these people except I. And I'm not talking about 20 to 30 percent of the idiots.
I'm that there are some mainstream people.
I folks, you know, when Dawn's not here, we have a uh a roster of substitute transcribers.
And one of them came in here just after seeing Al Gore's movie and just and the kids and thought, oh we're destroying the planet, oh, we've got to stop.
Well, we we finally turned her around.
Those are the kind of people I'm talking about.
This woman's not a politically active woman at all.
But she saw that stupid movie and the phony pictures of little polar bears on these little three square feet sheets of ice, thinking it was a melted glacier.
Many of these people, many of these duped people are children, ladies and gentlemen.
Children.
What are we doing to our children?
What have we done to our children?
They have been brainwashed in the scrubs.
Those are the people I'm talking about, not the 20 to 30% wired wackos whose brains are so screwed up there's no f no hope of fixing them.
I'm not talking about them.
I will not give up this quest.
Simply will not.
Here's uh Wayne and Roanoke, Virginia.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Yeah, Rush.
Thank you very much.
It's such a privilege to be able to talk to you.
Uh what I want to speak about uh with uh increasingly looking like uh more and more like the uh the republics to take over the House and the Senate.
And uh like uh Bob McDonald did here in Virginia, the first thing he did was say he's cutting his pay and his and his staff pay and the and the cabinet pay.
I'm wondering if uh the uh Republicans and the ones running could make agreements similar to like Newt and said one of the first things they do at the minimum is cut like quit paying for the SARS, take a Czars, take a pay cut, and uh cut a lot of this budget stuff, and there's all this spending like a I think the uh right now the cabinet for Obama administration spent 20% more.
Wait, just a second on this.
There's something I want to say here before I answer your question specifically.
Uh and you are the second person to hit me with this what you think is a likelihood today.
Snerdley was the first.
I walked back to his office, minding my own business, and he's watching Andrea Mitchell come on on her show, and I said I looked at her, I said, this woman looks heartbroken.
It's because leading off with the Evan Buy story.
I said, This woman looks heartbroken today.
He said, They're all gonna want you on election night.
What do you mean?
Yeah, every even these people, I'm I said they're gonna want your opinion on election night.
When that big sweep comes and I, folks, I don't like thinking that.
I I don't, I don't want us sitting here thinking there's going to be this massive sweep that we're gonna take over the house, gonna take over the Senate.
Because if you start thinking that, uh you're gonna let other people do the work and you won't show up and vote.
Don't, don't, it you it's only February.
You can't take that for granted right now.
Uh the last time I was on there was this with 2002.
Tom Brokow had me on, and they're not gonna do it again.
It was Russert that asked me, Brokaw, you know, willingly went along, but they're not gonna have me back there.
Because all they they know I just come gloat.
You know, tell them how stupid and wrong they've all been all these years that this was in the cards, but um I don't want to, it's it's like after the Steelers, I forget the year 2003, 2004, lost the championship game to the Patriots at Heinz Field.
The next season, from the coach on down.
Yep, we're Super Bowl champs this year.
And they asked the owner, Dan Rooney, do you like this kind of talks?
I sure don't.
And we haven't even started a season.
They have us in the Super Bowl.
No, no, no, no.
We still got 16 games to play here.
Well, we got a bunch of months to get through here.
And we got you know, we have we have a lot of Republicans who, I mean, if if we're not vigilant here, they're gonna fall prey to this bipartisan crap.
Uh despite the polls, they're gonna they're they're they're gonna be pressured by the uh by the culture inside the beltway to go along to get along.
And I uh just don't let's not count our chickens before they hatch.
Now let's deal with the hypothetical.
Yeah, the Republicans.
I look at Chris Christie in New Jersey.
He ran on a premise.
We can't afford what we got coming down the pike in this budget, and I'm freezing it.
And he did.
And they are they are squealing like stuck pigs with the hood owls and a pole cats in the barnyard in Morristown.
It is amazing to see.
And then I've got a story here that is just amazing with what New Jersey is facing in pensions.
They can't pay it.
It will, it will have they'll they have no way.
Here it is, the new math.
Union pensionomics levies crushing debt on state and local governments.
Uh I'm gonna just have to give you this briefly because we go into a break here, but how's this for an investment?
You pay a total of $124,000.
Your public employee, you pay a total of $124,000 into your pension plan over the course of your work life, and when you retire at age 49, you receive $3.3 million in pension benefits and $500,000 in health care benefits, a total of $3.8 million in retirement money on a $124,000 investment.
That is a real world example in New Jersey.
Public employee union people get that kind of this is what Christie knows.
We can't afford this.
This the state will go bankrupt if they don't do something about this.
This is simply undoable.
So whether Republicans get over you know tax cuts, getting Obama to sign them is another thing.
I mean, we're not gonna have a veto-proof majority no matter what happens.
We'll be back.
Stay with.
So my brother David sends me an instant message.
Yeah, you're right about the word satyr.
I looked it up.
And uh it's a man who has strong sexual desires.
So I wrote him back.
I said, I know.
I know a lot of words.
He says, Yeah, you know more than I do.
I said, That's right, because I am firstborn.
Tiger Woods is Fox News.
Tiger Woods impregnated a porn star girlfriend twice while his wife was expecting.
That's in Fox News.
Happy President's Day.
