Time Text
And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Limboy here, a uh doctor of democracy, America's truth detector, America's real.
Anchorman serving humanity.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you here.
The telephone number, if you want to join us, 800 282-2882.
And the email address, L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
A big uh big nuclear, supposed nuclear reduction arms treaty signed today with uh Barack Obama, and Putin didn't even go and he sent his puppet.
He sent Dmitry Medvedev.
And they had this joint gleeful signing ceremony after which Putin recorded a message for the people of the United States.
Vladimir Putin with a message.
The American people.
He may dislike America more than we ever did.
Just fax it over.
Whatever the new agreement he wants, next one is just fax it over.
We'll sign it without reading.
All right, welcome back.
Uh speaking of uh this deal, there's some fireworks happening in the little country of Kyrgyzstan.
Opposition leaders declared they had seized power in Kyrgyzstan, taking control of security headquarters, a state TV channel, and other government buildings after clashes between the cops and protesters killed dozens in the nation that uh houses a key U.S. air base.
The president who uh came to power in a similar popular uprising five years ago was said to have fled to the southern city of OSH.
And it was difficult to gauge how much of the impoverished mountainous country the opposition controlled.
As of yesterday, the uh the security service and the interior ministry, all of them are already under the management of new people, said a former foreign minister uh who the opposition leader said would head the interim government.
The opposition has called for the closure of the U.S. air base in Manas, outside the capital of Bishkek.
That's a key transit point for supplies essential to the war in nearby Afghanistan.
So what apparently has happened here, uh they're blaming this, by the way, on uh the uprising on civil unrest.
The anti-government forces were in dis in disarray until recent widespread anger over the 200% increases in electric and heating bills unified them and galvanized support.
200% increases in electric and heating bills.
Many of Wednesday's protesters were men from poor villages, including some who had come to the Capitol to live and work on construction sites.
I think what's really going on here is the hand of Putin.
Because the air base in Bishkek is key to our being able to supply our troops in Afghanistan.
And the Russians have wanted that base closed and shut down, and the old guy who was ousted didn't do it.
So now we have a popular uprising here, supposedly brought about by 200% price increases in utilities and heating bills.
Uh but uh, and they were asked, by the way, uh Medvedev and Obama, if they were asked what put out a statement about about Kyrgyzstan, that according to Fox News, they were told that now is not the time to put out a public statement about Kyrgyzstan.
They're still all over uh uh Shashkavili and uh Shashkashvili in Georgia.
Uh Putin's out there calling him mentally insane and unstable editorial cartoons.
It's uh kind of funny.
But this seems to be happening a lot.
Uh Thailand's beleaguered prime minister declared a state of emergency Wednesday to quell weeks of paralyzing protests in Bangkok, costing businesses tens of millions of dollars.
The demonstrators championing the rights of the rural poor remained uncowed here, and it was unclear if the showdown can end without violence.
The move for the Prime Minister came after mostly peaceful protests turned chaotic when demonstrators burst into parliament, Forced lawmakers to flee on ladders over a back wall with senior officials hastily escaping by helicopter.
Can you envision that?
Angry protesters stormed parliament, and the elites inside ran for their lives, evacuated with helicopters, climbed over walls, and ran for the hills.
The demonstrators called the red shirts for the attire they wear benefited from the populist policies like uh cheap health care and village loans.
The chaos Wednesday was a continuation of the long-running battle between partisans and the country's former leader, uh, who was ousted uh by military coup uh 2006 and those who oppose him.
He was accused of corruption and showing disrespect to the country's revered monarch.
Uh oh.
Just compare and contrast uh my friends how Bush treated Russia during their attempt to take over Georgia, and how Obama is bowing and scraping and give away our national security while they're doing the same thing in Kyrgyzstan.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Now's not the time for a public statement.
So no, no, no, it wouldn't be wise, uh, public statement right now.
Richard Trump, head of the uh, what is he, AFL CIO?
Yes.
I remember this guy when I lived in Pittsburgh.
He was with the coal miners union, I believe.
So he's moved on up.
Now head of the whole AFL CIO.
He made a speech last.
This goes back to what we were talking in the first hour of this program about greed.
Frankly, you know, I'm fed up with being called greedy because I'm a capitalist.
Corporations, people that earn profit, that's supposedly greed.
The greed in this country exists where?
In Washington and at every union.
We had a story on our morning update today.
Temple University Hospital.
They wanted to get rid of a perk that they can't afford anymore.
Union nurses, union people at work at the hospital.
Their kids got free tuition to Temple University.
And what else did they want?
There was one other perk that they wanted to eliminate or or give back.
I forget what it was.
The hospital said, look, we'd rather put this 5.6 million dollars into patient care.
And the union said, screw you.
Oh, oh, the you the hospital, the hospital wanted a provision in the new contract that said union members could not defame the hospital.
So in other words, the union was asked, please don't run around and publicly humiliate us and criticize us because we're paying you.
Union wouldn't go for that, and they wouldn't go for losing the free tuition.
No union is giving up anything.
They don't want to give none of these labor unions are, airlines exception.
Uh be they in the health care industry or wherever, they are they're nobody.
So I'd put them right there as the top of the pillars of greed, right along with government.
Listen to Trumpka last night.
He gave a speech at Harvard at the uh the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government.
Our politics have been dominated by greed and the force of money for over a generation.
Now, amid the wreckage that came from that experiment, we hear the voices of hatred, of racism, of homophobia.
At the moment of economic pain and anger, political intellectuals face a great choice whether to be servants or critics of economic privilege.
And I think that's a very important point to make here at Harvard.
See, the economic elites at JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs and the other big Wall Street banks are happy to hire intellectual servants wherever they can find them.
so you see my point the um the elites at jp morgan chase and goldman sachs yeah they can go they're happy to hire uh intellectual servants wherever they can find them he went on to talk about all of this being caused by voices on the radio i read the whole speech um So this is this is a great illustration here of Trump.
Reagan is in the last 25 years, led to all of this.
Led to all of this.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Remember, where do unions publish their op-eds?
In the newspaper of the Communist Party USA.
So we have uh the moment of economic pain and anger.
Political intellectuals face a great choice whether to be servants or critics of economic privilege.
I don't even know what that means.
But uh AFL by A FLCO CIO, by the way, had thrown the communists out of the Union, but Trump could bought him back in.
He's now regularly featured in articles of the Communist Party USA.
And he's up there speaking at Harvard.
I gotta take a quick break, folks.
Uh be right back.
Your call's coming up after this.
Bernie uh Murrayhead, Murray Headminus the Trinidad singers here, one night in Bangkok.
Do you know Bangkok is really appropriately named?
The largest number of prostitutes per capita in the world in Bangkok, Thailand.
Don't ask me how I know.
I think I read it in National Geographic.
Last night, David Korn of Mother Jones magazine was on MSNBC.
Got a question about the anger in America over mandates and other things in the health care bill.
And this is what he said.
The Heritage Foundation, that conservative think tank here, said that America is no longer a free nation.
It's a mostly free nation.
They rank countries every year.
And they dropped America.
So now we're living in a not so free United States, according to the Heritage Foundation.
So people are picking up on this, and their paranoia is really kicking in.
There was a lot of anticipation about what the health care bill would do, but no one's even waiting to see that.
They're already, you know, acting as if it is the worst case scenario.
First, we had Obama, the the foreigner, the guy wasn't born here, coming in and basically taking over the government, creating a regime as Rush Limbaugh calls it.
And now he's imposing socialism.
Anybody who lives in a socialist country, whether it's Europe or any place else, would be laughing at this as the notion of socialism.
You ought to be applauding this, corn.
It is socialism.
It is the kind of destruction you people at the nation have been angling for for I don't know how long, as long as I've been reading the nation.
Of course, the editor of the nation, uh Hurricane Katrina Vandenhoobel does think we have a center right media.
Read that piece to you yesterday.
Guess what, folks?
Go to audio soundbite number three.
This morning in Sacramento, California, KXTV News 10, eyeball news, good morning.
The co-anchor Kelly Jackson and a co-anchor Dan Elliott reported about a comedy troupe performing in a show they call the Real Housewives of Rio Linda.
Here's the clip.
Five ladies from right here in our area have been hitting up comedy clubs and night spots to bring light to the actual reality of being a real housewife of real Linda.
Although none of the women actually live in real Linda, Stephanie Garcia, the working housewife, explains why using that specific town is actually important to their act.
The economy, it's been hit so hard, and I think that real Linda had been hit hard hard in this area.
And it's just kind of like that's real.
This is reality, and like the real How Lives of Atlanta is.
That's not real.
You can catch the real housewives of Rhea Linda this Friday at the Fat Cat Lounge in Modesto, James.
And while a lot of people might think, God, real Linda's not as well known as Atlanta or some of the other cities where they do that.
Thanks to Rush Limball.
A lot of folks have heard of Rhea Linda who otherwise might have made that a little more popular.
I am devastated to hear uh that Rio Linda hasn't changed.
Uh I thought I thought we had uh got property values up, but from the uh nature of this report, it seems like well, what do they say?
Uh real Linda uh really really been hit hard.
Rio Linda been hit real hard in this area, and that's real.
So I guess I I've well I've tried.
I I guess they still have the cars jacked up on concrete blocks in the front yards and the uh old, you know, the the the manual roller washing machines on the porch.
Uh Martin in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hey Rush, how are you doing?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Yeah, I just want to make I've listened to you for ten years now.
I just want to find out why that you make people that like getting unemployment make feel like they're, you know, useless and stuff like that.
I just didn't know why you do that.
There's some people that have to be on it, you know, and looking for jobs.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Run that by me again.
You are you want to know why I make people on unemployment feel useless?
Yeah, like you talk like they're no good people and stuff.
And I just wondered why.
When did I ever say that they're no good people?
I'm just saying just the way you talk.
I'm just saying.
No, no, no.
You tell me exactly what I don't give me the way I talk stuff.
Tell me what I said.
You know, like they're dope addicts or you know, and stuff like that.
I don't know what you're saying.
I don't know what you're referring to.
I've never called the people on unemployment dope addicts.
Maybe lazy a couple times, but never dope addicts.
Well, I'd be listening to 10 years.
I I love I like you.
I love you, you know, everything, but I just you know, some people that you know, like me, I have had some injuries and stuff and have to be on unemployment and trying to find a job, you know, because I was doing a trade before what I did for twenty years, and I have to do another trade now, and that's just what I'm saying.
It's actually a good question.
Let me explain this to you.
Let me explain my fear of this.
Okay.
I do believe that never-ending unemployment extensions, and I think this is the purpose, uh put less pressure on people to go find jobs.
Okay.
I think there's dignity in work.
I think people working is what makes this country great.
Absolutely.
And telling people they're worthless is not what I do.
It's this regime that's telling people they're worthless by trying to destroy the very market in which they could get a job.
I am so angry over what this administration's doing.
I have nothing but compassion.
But I think I just it it's not the United States of America to me to find people on unemployment for 99 weeks.
Oh, I know.
I understand, but it's just you should go try to find a job out there, like said when you were doing a trade for so long and you try to do it.
I know.
I think what you're I think you're confusing when I was talking about the forty-seven percent that don't pay income taxes.
Oh and how they're freeloading, I think you're confusing that with me calling them unemployed.
I think it's two different groups of people.
Okay.
There might be some unemployed getting in on this because the point is if you make fifty thousand dollars a year uh and have a couple of kids, you can end up paying no federal income tax at all, whether you're working or not.
Right.
And it's that that that problem, that's how you create a permanent underclass.
Because pretty soon you're gonna have people realizing tax increases are what they live off of.
And it's it's that's hideous.
It's we this this this regime is destroying people just like the the Great Society and the war on poverty broke up the black family.
He took the place of the black father, so there were single parent mothers with multiple children out there, cultural disarray.
Black people themselves will tell you this.
And it was the never-ending flow of welfare money that made it happen.
It allowed the fathers and husbands to uh forget their responsibility.
Right.
So I'm these these kind of programs never work.
It's not it's undignified.
They do not help people become better people.
I just think I think if Russ some if uh Obama would get down and make more jobs, you know, we could get our jobs, and I think it would all get you know better.
Obama can't make a job.
See, that's Obama can't make a job.
Yeah.
The government cannot make a job.
Like I said, he's worried about everything else but jobs, and that's what we need.
Well, yeah, while he's over there smiling while signing a deal that gets rid of our national security a bit.
Right.
If he wants to create jobs, he's got to cut taxes, he's got to remove some federal regulations.
He's basically got to get out of people's way.
He's got to stop taxing achievement.
He's got to stop punishing risk takers.
He's got to do the exact opposite of what he's doing.
The blueprint for coming out of one of these recessions exists back in 1981 and 82.
It goes by the name of Ronaldus Magnus.
And it worked so well that this regime is doing everything they can to reverse every aspect of Reaganism.
Now, I yes, Dawn, I do say good morning.
Uh if you're just waking up on unwelfare, welcome to the program.
I yes, but that's that it's it's that's welfare recipients.
I'm not talking about the unemployed.
I have never I have never insulted the unemployed.
The unemployed, the vast majority of them are nothing but pure victims of this regime.
To put it bluntly.
My heart goes out to him.
Ninety-nine weeks on unemployment.
At some point, you give up looking.
And that doesn't help you find a job down the line, even when the recovery happens if it does.
She's about a mover.
1965, Sir Douglas Quintet.
The original version of this song sounded nothing like this.
There was no organ in it.
And the record label, I forget what it was, said you gotta re-record this.
They went to Doug Summ, who is the Sir Douglas.
You gotta, you know, this is the original version was about half that speed.
Uh sounded nothing like the melody was the same, but it sounded nothing like it.
So they went back into the uh recording studio and put that together.
And at iTunes, you can't get that version, you get the original version.
Yeah, I had to get it from our profit system.
You can't find the radio version of uh of She's About a Mover anywhere.
Now, somebody, when I was telling the story, somebody actually sent me a 45 RP the vinyl copy of it.
That's when records really sounded good.
They really it uh they really all right uh back to the phones.
Clark, New Jersey and Lou.
Great to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
I'm so glad to be finally speaking to you.
And I've been listening to you for 20 years.
I like what you say.
Thank you, sir.
And over the course of time I grow to like you very much, too.
What I want to talk about, and I think it's very important, is there's a vast left-wing conspiracy of guilt and professed guilt.
And uh first let me tell you who I am so that maybe you can get to know me a little bit better, like I know you, and you hear what I have to say, maybe you like what I say too.
Okay, here I am.
I'm eighty years old, married to my wife Joyce for 56 years.
She had eight kids in ten and a half years, which is a remarkable accomplishment.
I'm a father of eight kids, grandfather of twenty-four, and we are grandparents to six great-grandchildren.
And my parents were Polish immigrants, came here in 1910, and we grew up in poverty during the depression and everything else, but there was an air of Thanksgiving in our family that that's what we're missing in this country today.
That Thanksgiving made this country what it is.
We say God bless America, and we mean it.
Right?
There's thankfulness and saying God bless America.
This country was built by folks who were thankful to be here.
Okay.
Yeah, I got you.
All right, we're on the same page, by the way.
I know, that's why I'm agreeing with that's why I I called you.
I've been trying to get through you for a long time.
In fact, I sent you some emails too.
But with here's what happened.
Everything changed, and you'll you'll attest to this too, because everything changed on January 22nd, 1973.
This country split right down the middle.
In the Bible, it says, choose you this day who you will follow.
That's a Bible uh uh statement.
And it's either man or God.
And people chose, people made a choice.
And when they did make that choice, they chose either Thanksgiving to God or guilt.
For killing a baby.
I'm a I'm a proponent of pole life guy, and that's this is where it all started, though.
That's why this country did nothing to split this country down the middle more than Ruby Wade.
Nothing.
Today, it's prevalent.
Democrats, pro-choice, republicans, pro-life.
That's amazing, isn't it?
Uh speaking of which, I didn't print it out.
I'm gonna go have to find it, they're gonna break.
But Obama has just allocated a hundred and forty-two point five million dollars to have people sent to planned parenthood for HIV testing.
Correct.
Uh so I again it's a hundred and forty-two and a half million dollars we don't have, but he's still gonna do it.
Um, I know look, it I know I the the and I've often espoused a theory very close to yours, but uh and the date that he gave, January uh twenty-second, nineteen seventy-three, is the day the Supreme Court found the Roe vs.
Wade abortion is uh constitutional right.
And you're right, it has roiled the country because of that.
We've never voted on it.
The people have never had their say.
It was just forced on us by an activist judge, an activist court, uh, and it sanctioned the legal killing of human beings.
And there have been millions of them uh aborted over the ensuing years.
And I've always said that once a society becomes comfortable with that, uh gradual erosion of the entire sanctity of life has to happen.
And then you start well, you know what?
If if we're gonna if we're gonna kill people in the womb because they're basically an inconvenience to us, uh then the old people are an inconvenience to us too.
And it's gonna be long before people uh the hemlock society and euthanasia and Dr. Kavorkin sprung up, and we've got him back in the White House now, except his subject is the U.S. economy instead of an elderly person.
And it has certainly royal the country.
And I know what you mean by there's a conspiracy of guilt.
Um a lot of what Obama was elected on guilt.
Obama was elected, it certainly wasn't elected on substance.
Obama was elected by a bunch of people who thought they could assuage their guilt over being called racists simply because they live in America.
Our original sin slavery.
Even people today who've never owned slaves were made to feel guilty about it.
Uh a lot of the welfare state is based on guilt.
A lot of the welfare state, I you know what, I'm I'm gonna make myself a better person.
I'm gonna see to it that you pay higher taxes so that I can give your money to unfortunate people.
And I I make myself feel really, really good, and I have transferred guilt to people to get them to agree with my raising their taxes.
And it's gotten to the point now where there's so much guilt that people who go to work and try to earn a profit are being told they are the problem.
And some of you say, how can I change this opinion?
I'll just be quiet about it.
Oh, I'll just be quiet about it.
Uh so I know, I know uh point is um well taken.
I know exactly what he means.
Thanks, Lou, for the call.
I appreciate it.
Uh Ron in O'Latha, Kansas.
Welcome, sir to the EIB network.
Hey, Ron, are you there?
Hello.
Hi, Ron.
Is this Ron?
Huh?
I can't hear you, I'm sorry.
Ron hung up.
Well, no, Ron didn't hang up.
Somebody probably injured Ron, some little kid picked up the phone there.
We'll go to somewhere else.
Anita in uh Newport Coast, California.
I I pause there because I've never heard of Newport Coast.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, Rush.
I've been listening to you for 20 years, and you have helped me to keep my sanity in these hard times.
Well, I'm losing mine.
Don't do that, please.
We need you.
Um I'm calling with sort of a different take on things, and I'd be interested in your opinion.
But basically, I don't think America has ever gotten uh has ever graduated from high school.
And the reason I'm saying that is because when I was in high school, the athletes and the cheerleaders and the class clowns were absolutely the most popular.
Nothing they could do was wrong ever.
And the kids who really studied and worked their tails off to get those good grades, they were sort of um, they were classified as glee geeks and um ostracized from the the group in general.
And well, I was in neither group.
Um the athletes and the actors are making these millions of dollars a year, and no one ever says anything um about that negatively.
And yet it's the kids who studied and worked their tails off and then worked their tails off for years in the corporate structure or through their own personal undertakings and business to rise to the top.
And so now they're finally experiencing some of the fruits of their labor, and it's all wrong.
They can't make it.
Some the the branding ones still have no right to the fruits of their labor.
And I just wonder what you think about that.
Well, um, I've had I've dealt with this uh theory in a number of different ways over the course of my star-studded career here.
It's come at me in the form of we pay athletes way too much and we don't pay teachers enough and so forth.
And you're really to understand the uh the the wealth that athletes and actors earn, you have to really understand basic market economics.
Uh and uh I'm not saying you don't, uh, but the reason that that they're very seldom vilified is because very few of them take political stands.
I guarantee you the athletes that have the first chance a sports media has to go after them, they do.
Lenny Dykes drove suggesting that they I'm not saying that they don't deserve what they make, but I'm suggesting that there's a double standard.
Because there's also competition in the in the marketplace for those positions and the Kareem always, you know, well.
It's it's it's real simple.
Uh to understand I the the what what they earn.
I are you talking about attitudinally the way we look at those people, the way we celebrate them, even though many of them are reprobates, and the people that are really worthwhile have great character, we kind of scorn.
Is that what you mean?
And that's why the high school analogy?
Yes.
Like the brain dead cheerleader and the idiotic, you know, 40 IQ quarterback.
Uh one of those.
You know something that skill set, not only in high school.
Yeah, but it's so rare, don't get it if you follow it up, the trail through um uh the the corporate trail.
These people that get to the top, they're brilliant people and they've worked their tails off, and yet they're not given any um uh any credit for that.
Well, some of them are some giving.
Some of them are, but but that skill set, when you're talking about athletes particularly, that skill set is so rare.
You look, we have a population of three hundred million people, and how many in this country are qualified to play at the major league level?
I mean, it's not very many.
It's it's under it's under fifteen hundred to two thousand.
But I think the same argument could be made for the CEO that rises to the top of the ladder.
Well, now you're bringing politics into this.
Well, that's what I'm trying to do.
I'm not doing a very good job of it, obviously.
Uh politics politics hasn't infected the world of sports unless somebody in the world of sports takes a political position.
But you probably don't know that Michael J uh Michael Jordan's a Democrat.
And I guarantee you have no idea how Tiger Woods votes.
That's right.
Well, there's a reason for that.
If they if they go public with their political views, they've automatically alienated half the country.
Uh and they don't when it when it comes to selling their endorsed products.
Look, hang on, this is a good question.
I gotta take a break.
Can you can you hang on through the break?
Yes.
All right, we'll be back and continue this right after this.
Spanky and our gang, actually some someplace in Illinois, looked like Mama Cass out there.
Got to get to know you.
Like to get to know you.
So they don't make music like this anymore.
Don't roll your eyes in there, Snurley.
You know it's true.
All right, we're back here with Anita in uh in Newport Coast, California.
I know exactly what you're talking about, the idolization of uh people who who uh do certain things.
Athletes, uh entertainers.
I've tried to understand this.
It's it's even it's gone beyond that now.
Just the pursuit of fame.
Look at all of these social network websites.
Facebook, my butt, my space, uh everybody, everybody wants to cash in on this fame.
Even if it's just for 15 minutes, they are willing to give up every personal bit of information about themselves.
Pictures and all kinds of things.
And as it as it relates to, you know, athletes, I do think that it boils down to how rare the skill set is and the fact that everybody wishes they could do it that well.
Everybody who plays golf, and I'm telling you, everybody wishes they could play it like any PGA tour pro does.
Anybody.
Everybody wishes that they could be Brett Favre.
It's it's it's one of these things that uh almost you live your life vicariously through these people.
Well, I I agree with that, but I guess in still these people are on the popularity bandwagon, and the point I'm trying to make is that the skill set what the people have to what what executives have to do to rise to the top of their organizations or even the small entrepreneur to build a business that uh what they have to go through requires a skill set and some of these especially with the larger companies um that go they go we don't see them do it in 20 years into their career we don't see them do it we don't see them
do it.
We don't see the CEO making the wonderful, brilliant decisions that grow his company.
We don't see it.
Now, in one case, we do.
And guess what?
He's a superstar.
His name is Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs is considered that company.
Everybody thinks he does everything.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett.
If we see what they do, if we see the results of what they do, then we lionize them.
But a lot of CEOs, and plus, you know, these people have been demonized politically by the Democrat Party for I don't know how long.
And they have Pesars slapped against them.
You know, Hitler.
Hitler loved movie stars.
I don't know how many people know this.
But his, you know, he had a very close relationship with his propaganda guy, Goebbels.
And Goebbels was making all the movies.
I mean, Hitler even put up with Jewish movie stars.
He forgave them everything.
He forgave them their politics.
He forgave them their religion.
Because he knew they were no threat.
They were easily led.
They were very malleable.
Actors and athletes were exempted from the military under Hitler.
And Mao did the same thing.
Stalin did the same thing.
The skill set of a CEO, the skill set of a jobs or of a Buffett.
Those kind of skills are very dangerous to the powerful elites in government.
Because those people get things to do.
And they're not going to do anything.
done they're very competent they have to operate under different rules than government does and so they're they're they're this naturally lionized and it's you're never going to escape the politicization of corporate CEO for crying out loud look at they've got PAZARS on them now.
They're demonized these are these are greedy capitalists.
So they have been demonized by uh politics and that's one of the reasons why they are viewed as suspects and that's that's so very scary.
It is I like your analogy that we haven't gotten out of high school yet.
Well that's how I see it.
It's the popular it's you know the popular versus the unpopular and who were the popular and it hasn't changed.
Well now see I'm I don't belong to any of the two groups that you talked about.
When I was in high school I wasn't a big athlete and I wasn't a nerd I just didn't want to be there that's why you're still exceptional.
Well thank you but um I uh it's it is an interesting psychological question and it it deserves more than uh a 10 minute answer to your call it really is gonna I understand the point you're making very well it's just I'm I'm I've run out of time again I have to go to our hard break this one doesn't float thanks very much Anita for the call we'll continue here in just a sec.
