Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, thrilled and delighted that you are here.

Okay, the oil rig explosion out there in the Gulf of Mexico.
Are there any coincidences in life?
When we are on the verge, at least on paper anyway, of the regime saying we want to have renewed offshore drilling, even though the areas in which they want to drill don't have any oil.
All of a sudden a rig blows up.
All of a sudden a rig blows up in a Gulf of Mexico, and of course the oil slick, massive and gigantic, now being whipped toward the Gulf Shore in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama by winds, and it will hit there at some point.
And then of course they panic.
We'll get the pictures of the pelicans and the birds trying to fly away, but they can't because they're slicked up with oil.
We'll get little kids out there being given days off from school with jars and bottles of dawn dishwasher determinment detergent to get out there and take the oil and the mess off of the birds.
How convenient for the environmentalist wackos.
They haven't had an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico in a hundred zillion years.
And here in an election, when we're trying to get cap and trade, which Lindsay Gramnesty may have uh fouled up along with immigration as well.
And I do want to get to that today, but I'm not through with his Goldman Sachs business because a couple sound bites coming up.
Carr 11 dropping the S bomb 11 times.
Now he's quoting emails, but he does this with delight.
If we didn't bleep this, I could get fined.
Or if I said the word that he says 11 times here, I could get fined.
Well, I couldn't, but the radio station carrying the program could get fined.
And then they would let me know that they think I should pay it.
But Carr 11, member of the regime, can sit up there and drop the S-bomb all he wants.
Now, here in a nutshell is what's going on.
The SEC is complaining.
Their complaint claims that uh the Goldman Sachs buddy John Paulson, the hedge fund king, made a one billion dollar profit from going short on these collateralized debt obligations, the subprime the pools of mortgages from some prime mortgages.
While the purchasers of the materials lost the same amount, there are people who thought these were good investments.
Say Paulson, and I think was he an inside guy?
Was he allowed to pick which mortgages were put into the pool?
And if so, was there fraud here?
Was there coercion between Goldman Sachs and the big hedge fund guy, Paulson?
Um, and to the to the uh harm of the people who lost the billion dollars.
Now the two main investors who lost money were ABN Amro and IKB Deutsche Industrie Bank.
Deutsche Bank.
Uh Deutsche Bank lost 150 million dollars within months on the purchase, and AB and Amro lost $140 million.
Where are these people that got the shaft?
Where is Seth Waugh of Deutsche Bank?
Where is the CEO of ABN Amro?
Where are the screwed here standing up and saying we got screwed?
Why haven't they been brought in to testify?
Why haven't we heard from?
I mean, maybe we have that it hadn't been in the news.
So Goldman Sachs claims that they have lost 90 million dollars in this deal.
The SEC is alleging that Goldman materially misstated and omitted facts in disclosure documents for the synthetic collateralized debt obligation product it originated called Abacus 207-AC1.
Goldman was paid a fee of approximately $15 million for its work in the deal.
The allegation is that Goldman misrepresented to investors that an objective third party, ACA, had reviewed the mortgage package underlying the credit default obligations, and that Goldman failed to disclose to ACA that a hedge fund, Paulson guy, uh, was going to short the package.
Who and he had helped select the mortgages for the package, against which he planned to bet against.
The SEC also alleged that this guy Terray, Francois Francine or whatever, Terray misled ACA into believing that Paulson invested approximately 200 million in the equity of Abigail 207 ACICI.
That is, he took a long position, but Goldman claims to never told ACA that Paulsman was a long investor and that his normal business practice market makers do not disclose the identities of a buyer or seller and vice versa.
Now the the the upshot here of this is that right now no criminality has been alleged.
It's a civil complaint.
If, and this is this is where Goldman's gonna get shafted here, folks, and you may think they deserve it.
I'm leave it up to you.
I'm just telling you.
Whenever it comes to the Democrat Party led United States government versus anybody in the private sector, I'm sorry, I side with the private sector.
My instincts are it may be both a pack of thieves.
And in this case, Goldman, I know is in the in the back pocket of the regime.
Goldman donated all kinds, almost a million dollars to Obama.
So I got no brief for Goldman here.
My problem is that nobody can beat the regime when the regime targets you.
And the regime is not doing this to protect people.
The regime, in essence, you have these two Deutsche Bank and the other outfit who lost a billion dollars.
You could say that Carl Levin is holding hearings today to protect fat cat Goldman Sachs clients.
Could you not?
Okay, yeah, they're going after Goldman Sachs, but who are they defending?
They're defending Deutsche Bank.
And they're defending this other bunch that lost 800 and some odd million dollars.
So, whichever way you look at it, the government's in bed with somebody here who is a fat cat.
And the Deutsche Bank guys, your turn next when the regime thinks that they can score some points off of you.
Here's Carl Levin.
I'm gonna grab a phone call real quick here because I want to address the point here that uh that uh no.
What was his first name from Lake Worth?
What was the guy's name?
Doesn't matter.
We had a guy from Ray from Lake Worth, Florida.
He wanted to talk to me.
He said that Republicans can't win going up against Wall Street.
And I want uh well his point was anything, HR, either reform package or this.
His point, I well, I'm assuming, because I wanted to talk to him about it, his point was that the Democrats are always gonna win in circumstances like this that they set up, because no matter, no matter the truth of the matter, that class envy for 50 years has set it up in people's minds that Wall Street is evil and they're mean and they're careless, uncaring, uh, have no compassion.
They got billions of bonuses in the recession.
Well, people were losing their jobs, these fat cats were rewarded, and his point I'm sure was going to be there's no point for the Republicans to go against the government and defend Goldman.
I disagree.
This is why I wanted to take his call.
As I've said here constantly, I'm not defending Goldman, I have no brief for him, but I do know this.
I do know that they did what they did because they were under orders to by virtue of federal regulation.
I know that this whole subprime thing was created by government, by Democrats, and the purpose of it was to get people into homes who couldn't pay for them.
These people would thank government, would thank Democrats for making it possible for them to have a home.
And that's all this was about.
The wreckage in the financial system of this country was caused by the Democrat Party.
The financial wreckage in this system was caused, and I give you the names.
Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Franklin Rains, Jamie Garellick, and anybody and everybody that ran Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack.
And they're turning around now and they're trying to blame their victims, which may be another den of thieves for all I know, Goldman Sachs, but they're trying to blame their victims for acting independently outside of regulation.
When I I have a this why I've preached to you people, I've asked you constantly, would you please?
Please try to have even half the suspicion of government that you have of any private sector company, big oil, big retail, uh, big pharmaceutical or whatever.
Just have half the suspicion.
I don't care whether the Republicans win in this.
This, I'm not trying to tell a Republicans what to do, and I am not trying to look for a campaign edge.
That's not what I do.
I'm using my radio program to be honest with you about what's happening here.
We live at a time where we have a regime that's trying to permanently transform this country into something it's never been.
This cut this regime is in the process of destroying the private sector.
That's the place where people's jobs come from.
I had a conversation over the weekend with some friends.
And again, it was another uh uh an issue that was said to be a loser for the Republicans.
And it's about these pensions for state teachers and state workers, whoever they are, union people or whatever.
And this guy said to me, Rush, do you understand it's never going to be a winner for people who have multimillionaire portfolios, multi-million portfolios, or people who are successful, to begrudge a state worker a hundred thousand dollar a year salary or hundred thousand dollar a year pension.
He said to me, I see all of these people in the private sector who lament that a teacher or an auto worker, not not an auto worker, but a federal union employee has a great pension, a great health care system.
Whatever great health care pension they have, whatever great retirement pension they have, it's nothing compared to the massive investment portfolios all these all these critics have.
So I thought about this for a minute.
I said, from the class envy standpoint, I can totally understand.
Am I making myself clear here, Snerdley?
Um for example, uh let me let me try to make it even clearer.
Without divulging any names here because I don't want to get anybody in trouble or focus attention on them.
But I know people who are very well off, and they've earned it.
Now don't misunderstand, they're very, very well off.
And they're constantly complaining about their property taxes and everything that go to pay for cops to get $100,000 a year in retirement after working 25 years.
And I've said to them, do you realize you're gonna have nobody sympathizing with you on this?
Here you are with your giant house.
Uh here you are with your multiple automobiles, and you're upset that cops or firemen or teachers might have a retirement system that pays them 70 to 100 grand a year when they quit.
When you have millions after you quit.
And the guy said to me, all well and good.
The problem is we're all paying it.
Those people, the firemen and the cops are not paying me.
I'm making my money in the private sector.
But it's my property taxes and everything else all the minute that's going to provide all this.
And it's out of whack.
And if we don't get a handle on it, it's going to bust city budgets, town budgets, and state budgets.
And about that, he's right.
If you look at California, we don't have the money to pay these people what they have been promised.
500 billion, half a trillion unfunded pension liabilities just for the teachers and the public employees in California alone.
And that's just one state, and it's that way all over the place.
And it is the property taxes and the overall taxes of citizens that's paying this.
And this guy made a point to me, he said, Rush, you're looking at it the wrong way.
When you say to me that people aren't going to have any sympathy, because I have X numbers of millions of dollars, and I'm complaining about a retirement plan that gives a teacher or a fireman a hundred grand.
You have to understand the people paying for this, the vast majority of them are not going to have retirements of anywhere near 100 grand.
Because they're not being paid by other taxpayers.
They're in the private sector, and they're having to scrimp and save.
So these teachers and the firemen and whoever else that have these great retirement plans, pensions, 100 grand a year until they die after working 25 years, it's actually not being paid for by me.
It's being paid for by gazillions of people who don't make anywhere near what they make.
And that's why it's relevant.
Because the people paying them don't make nearly what they're getting in retirement.
But this is an illustration of the class envy problem we're up against.
Okay.
So here we've got the Democrat Party, which has made a career and a life out of bashing the wealthy when they are the wealthy.
They've made a career out of bashing Wall Street.
When they are in bed with Wall Street, they have labeled Republicans as the fat cat cronies of Wall Street and all these high-falutin big business guys.
Well, now everybody knows fat cat cronies on Wall Street and big business guys are in the back pockets of the Democrats.
And the and the regime.
So a guy wants to call here and say, Rush, the way you're going about this is wrong.
You're never going to get people to side with you that Goldman Sachs needs to be defended here.
Well, maybe so, but I'm not going to stop trying.
I am not going to stop trying to explain the facts and the truth of all this, because the future of the country depends on it.
This is all one, this is one little small part of a giant transformation of this country.
This regime's not just going after the big guys.
This regime's going after everybody.
Have you seen the unemployment rate?
Have you seen the foreclosure rate?
The people getting hurt in this country are the very people the Democrat Party claims to stand for, the little guy.
They're the ones that are taking their future's gone.
The future of their kids gone.
Their chance of prosperity, if all this stuff stands, is gone.
All this debt, all this spending, all of this shrinkage of the private sector where the American dream, the opportunity for it exists.
The opportunity for the American dream does not exist in a bureaucracy.
Although it's coming to be that case.
So you have a shrinking private sector, fewer and fewer opportunities.
Unemployment, the regime itself says it's not going to change from 10% for the next couple years, if then.
Taxes are going up left and right, this health care bill's abomination.
Everybody now starting to get the truth out about that.
Illegal immigrants are the way is being paved by the regime to get them all in the country and get them get them nationalized, amnesty, which is going to put even more competition.
In fact, there's a story in the immigration stack today.
Some company in Arizona was forced to fire 300 illegals.
There was an ice raid.
The ICE people found a 300 illegal aliens and they had to get rid of them.
And those jobs were filled immediately by Americans who we have been told all these years would not do that kind of work.
Yes.
The Boston Herald has the story.
300 people filled those jobs immediately.
So those jobs, the 300 jobs being held by the illegals were denying 300 Americans jobs in a recession.
And the regime has sided with the illegals.
So it's not Goldman Sachs they're going after.
It's not Wall Street they're going after.
And I, well, I just look at the clock.
Gotta take a break.
back after this.
Hi, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know.
I have been targeted by the regime.
Dingy Harry, and the famous letter to my syndicator asking them to censor me.
I have been personally blamed for Oklahoma City and so forth by the regime.
The difference between me and Goldman Sachs is that I had no desire to get in bed with the regime.
Goldman wants to stay in bed with the regime.
That is why they'll pay the fine here.
And they may even let some executives go.
And the executives will start their own hedge fund companies and be worth $25 billion pretty soon.
And they'll be sending chocolates and flowers to Obama very soon to stay in good graces with the regime.
I have no desire to get in bed with the regime.
These other guys do.
I'm not a crony capitalist.
They are.
Now, I'm concerned.
We'll go back to this public pension system, public employee pensions, medical coverage.
I'm concerned about it, not because it affects me directly.
I mean, I'm not upset that teachers and cops are getting $100,000 a year or whatever they're getting.
That doesn't bother me.
It's because the system can't sustain it.
The money isn't there.
To pay all of this, the people who are paying it are overtaxed as it is.
We don't have a way of paying these pensions.
So the system is going to collapse.
It's going to destroy the society and our system if these obligations are met, which means nobody's going to escape it, folks.
The fact that a wealthy person like me brings it up and addresses it is not because I'm directly affected in a seriously adverse way, but because it's destructive of society and eventually almost everyone in it.
And my concern is for the people who actually pay the taxes that pay for all this.
And we now know that despite these high levels of taxation, the money isn't there.
It may never have been there in California.
None of this may have been real.
In order for UAW workers to get their pensions, look what's had to happen.
The regime had to take over the car companies for crying out loud.
Well, you want the regime to take over California's schools.
You want the regime to take over every other unfunded obligation.
Look at Social Security.
We've all been talking about the unsustainability of that for years.
It doesn't have any measurable impact on me.
But the fact is it will horribly affect millions of people who aren't wealthy.
It will be dragged, it'll drag down the whole system.
It'll destroy the golden goose.
I love this country.
I can't sit here patiently and say just because it isn't going to affect me, not be upset about it.
It destroys me.
It rips me apart.
The greatest country on earth being systematically dismantled right in front of our eyes.
And the Republicans are getting blamed for it.
At the same time, it's absurd.
Ladies and gentlemen, all of this that we are discussing today is why this class warfare strategy is so destructive.
Class warfare is used as an excuse or even a justification for a leftist agenda that will destroy our society.
Rich, poor, everybody in between.
The leftist agenda is destructive.
It is underway right in front of our faces.
It's not even being disguised anymore.
This class war strategy is used to further it.
And when the argument today is not about rich versus poor.
Right now in our nation, we're in a battle over freedom versus tyranny.
Liberty versus tyranny.
It's not rich versus poor.
Because everybody in the capitalist system is under assault here by this regime.
Now speaking for the Republic.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Uh as to the Republicans.
Those of you who think that they can't win on this.
When average Americans find out that government workers' compensation is now close to double what the average private sector compensation is.
If you count all salary and benefit and retirements.
Millions of people will join the GOP on this if the GOP has the guts to use this as an issue because who is it that's paying these people?
And what are these people contributing to the output or the gross domestic product of this country?
Nothing.
They are a drain on it.
The larger the government gets as a percentage of gross domestic product, the less production we have.
There is no productivity.
Paper shufflers, regulators, paper pushers.
And they're making more than the people paying them.
That can't stand.
That isn't sustainable either.
Here is Rose in Flint, Texas, as we start on the phones.
Great to have you here.
And hello.
Hey, Rush, it's an honor to talk with you.
I am a uh recovering Democrat, and I thank you for all that you're doing.
My husband's been a big fan of yours for over ten years.
Uh this Goldman tax business.
Um, they they gave money to Obama during the campaign.
A million dollars worth total.
You know, you you would think he would look on them a little bit lightly, but you know, apparently it didn't matter, and they're accused of all this manipulation.
Well, there's another name that comes to mind from a manipulation standpoint, especially currency-wise, global wise, uh, George Soros.
Why is why is he never looked at?
Well, a lot of people suffered under him.
And he made much, much more than Goldman Sachs has.
I know.
He is profited, he's profited from the decline of the Bureau of the British currency.
Um he has stated over and over again that uh this is his life's achievement, is wrecking the U.S. and the world economy.
He profits from it.
You talk about going short.
Exactly.
Uh George Soros.
And you know, there are people who think that uh Soros is in bed with the American left to uh to bring all this about.
I mean, a lot of people don't like this country.
A lot of people don't like what it's done in the past, don't like the way it is now.
But look, by by definition here.
Uh Rose, the the the this regime's not going to go after its patron saint.
But he's a huge capitalist.
And they want to bring that down.
I understand exactly what you're saying, Rush.
But if they're if they're taking on Goldman Sachs, he's a huge capitalist is the wrong way to put it.
He is an industrialist wrecking capitalist societies he doesn't like.
George Soros made two point eight billion dollars in 2008 alone, shorting American housing.
That was the second biggest profit made throughout this country.
George Soros, 2.8 billion dollars in 2008 shorting American housing.
Now you can 2.8 billion, I don't care what Goldman Sachs did uh pales in comparison here.
And Soros is out there and he's he's gotten he supposedly went into retirement and has now gotten back in the game because he's so excited about the uh opportunities present.
Soros is a guy that that uh uh he profits amidst decline.
He made three point three billion dollars last year.
In just in just one area of the market.
I mean, that's not his whole annual take.
Rose, thanks.
Walton Glendale, Arizona.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Mega Ditto's Rush.
Thank you.
Um it's interesting uh that uh today they're going after Goldman Sachs and they're slapping them around, but uh year ago in March they uh sold Indy Mac Bank to who else who else but George Soros and John Paulson, along with a couple of other people.
Yes, you know, this is I'm glad you brought this up because and that's that's the thing.
Remember who got that ball rolling?
Oh, yes, Chuck Schumer.
Chuck U. Schumer who goes public with how Indimac is not solvent.
It's a big problem, created a run on the bank.
Guess who gets in there and buys it?
You're exactly right.
Uh George Soros and John Paulson, who's also the hedge fund guy who made the billion dollars here, shorting the collateralized debt obligations of Goldman.
And it was and it was a private sale, too, not a stock the there's no stockholders.
And in the first nine months, they made one point six billion dollars.
And if you figure that that's about a million dollars an hour.
So if I'm getting slapped around a little bit, I'll take a million dollars an hour.
Well, and the the the thing about this too is that we're always told it's the reti Republicans, all this insider trading stuff, profiting here and look who's involved in all this.
George Soros is by no means a Republican.
Uh and I don't know about Paulson, but I don't think he cares.
Uh uh we know that Obama is not.
I mean, this is uh this is this is uh corporate cronyism, and that may not be an apt description of what all is going on here.
But I think if you look at the other people that bought it, they one guy had seventeen years of Goldman Sachs and went out and started his own uh fund management fund, and the other one had twenty years of Goldman Sachs.
And and the problem is these people, to me, I mean I'm an AN RAN capitalist.
These cut people aren't producing something, but I I still think Wall Street, you know, they provide a real service.
They they you know it's a marketplace.
As long as the marketplace is a fair marketplace, then it helps it it helps the economy uh at all, you know, completely.
I I hate this thing about Wall Street versus Main Street because Wall Street is really important in our in our overall uh economic strength.
It's when someone has an advantage, and usually the government provides that.
That's where uh it's unfair, and that's where it's not capitalism.
I don't even want to call it crony capitalism.
It's it's fraud, basically.
Well, I I get your point.
Uh uh I get your point on that.
But it is what it is is class warfare is what's happening here.
Oh yeah, it's a class warfare strategy which which is does nothing more than advance liberalism.
But but but Rush, where are the the uh reporters who this this appeal at surprise?
I mean, you here you have George Soros, who, when you were talking about the the British thing, that was September 6, 1992, when he made 1.1 billion dollars in one day.
It was the biggest uh profit on the forex exchange ever, and that was the day it's called Black Wednesday in Britain, because that's the day the British pound died, and he basically took ten billion dollars, shorted the pound because it was because it was weak, and he knew it was weakened and and that's what you do.
I mean, if you're uh if you want to make a lot of money, he knew that the British government was not going to uh put up the money to to change that.
And they didn't, I don't think they realized they had someone out there that that could, you know, along with him with other people too when it when it started to when he started to short it.
But he made one point one billion dollars and and uh in one day, uh just just shorting the pound.
Well, what was your question about that?
You said where is who in the Where Where is the reporters?
When you talk about uh just think of it, Rush would uh if you connected the dots here just on Indy Mac, it's a great it's an interesting story.
Why can't they you know you take the Democrats and and they're making this this money with Indy Mac?
That's that's like asking why doesn't Satan tell us the truth about hell.
Yeah.
It's not gonna happen.
Well, I have I have a reporter from the Times who've been following this because I was an IndyMack customer.
In fact, I was after Chuck Schumer wrote that letter on a Thursday on my mortgage was due, and I went to the bank the following Monday after the FDIC had taken it over, and there was a line around the block with people taking their money out, and I was putting money in, and these people in the EMAC were shocked.
They could they didn't understand what had happened.
They they said, Why are we being picked out for this?
You know, because uh because at that point uh the you know they they they felt they were just a good bank.
And uh, you know, they there were some.
I'm sure Angelo Mazzillo's trying to figure out what the hell happened here.
I gave Dodd his favorable mortgage, give all these guys low-rated mortgages.
Look at me.
I'm out of I'm out of work and I'm I'm destroyed.
What happened to me?
Yeah.
The other another thing, I I have a friend who is in the bank, and and I I'm in the construction business, and we can't get loans here.
And I asked him, what about construction?
Um what about construction loans?
And they said, Oh, we we stopped giving those a long time ago.
So the question is, how can you make one point six billion dollars in nine months without giving loans to people?
And there's a there's another story in there.
I've just heard some rumors on how that how it's how this deal went down with the FDIC, but it's uh but but you still it's it's hard to believe that you took a bank that Chuck Schumer killed, and that you somehow can make one point six billion dollars in the first nine months.
Right.
I mean, how does that happen?
Well, it's not too hard to do when the SEC investigators are watching porno movies on the internet in their offices.
You know, Snerdley happens to love this line that I came up with.
Having reporters tell the truth about the regime is like asking Satan to tell us the truth about hell.
Well, here you there's a big story that the the Heritage Foundation's morning bell today uh makes it makes a great point about about Obama's deficit reduction committee, uh headed up by Irks and Bowles and Alan Babe Simpson.
And there and the and the point that he's making is is uh that the morning bell makes one I've made frequently about a lot of other things, base closings is this is nobody's responsibility but Congress.
The deficit is what it is because of Congress and the President.
Congress, we don't spend a dime in this country unless Congress authorizes it.
There's not a tax law passed unless Ways and Means comes up with it and originates it.
And yet we've got this massive debt problem, and all of a sudden we get to farm it out to a commission headed up by Irks and Bowles and Alan Babe Simpson.
And they get to come back with all the recommendations of a bat tax and this tax increase and that tax increase, and as usual, the guilty, the members of Congress who drove all these deficits up, the people that voted for them on the basis of wanting handouts, and the presidents of the United States who agreed in all this, get to act as innocent bystanders.
Well, that's right, Limba.
I had no idea.
I'm sitting here.
Uh I got I got all kinds of things going on.
I had no idea defects get out of here.
In fact, I left this country with surpluses.
You well know who did not do any such thing.
They get to act like like like spectators.
So they get to not do their jobs.
They get to pass off the dirty work to somebody else.
It would be like Satan appointing a commission Headed up by somebody totally unrelated to him to explain how hell happened.
It's just it's it's a look.
While I have your attention here, you know, Mother's Day is coming up, and I got an idea here for you.
But this is good, not even for Mother's Day.
I mean, for things if be beyond Mother's Day.
I mean, this this is just the best of its kind.
Sherry's berries.
And I've told you about these.
These are the strawberries, biggest damn strawberries I've ever seen, hand dipped in chocolate.
They come to you, they're from Sacramento.
They come to you uh refrigerated by FedEx.
Or UPS, I think it's FedEx.
And you have to refrigerate them, you have to use them pretty quickly because it's a perishable.
But each one of them is hand dipped with a different pattern of chocolate, white and dark chocolate.
And it it's they come as a you get a half dozen of them or a dozen, a half dozen is just 1999 plus shipping and a and free premium toppings with uh with each order, and if for just ten dollars more, so 2999, uh Sherry will double the order to a dozen of them.
I'm telling you, if you're having friends over for the weekend for dinner, great for dessert.
Uh they're great to put around a salad uh at first, and they're good for Mother's Day presents and so forth.
They're simply unbelievable.
You know, I I I don't eat this kind of stuff normally because of my diet regimen.
But of course, since they became a sponsor, I had to personally try these things.
I don't I'm not gonna say ate the whole box.
We still get shipments of them in here, and uh we I did I took them home for the weekend.
They they are the they are just out of this world.

Curtis in Tempe, Arizona, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
It's a real honor to speak to the person who's caused every problem in America since the Kennedy assassination.
Only kidding, only kidding.
No, no, no.
I'm happy to take the blame for that.
Well, you know what's a shame is you're gonna be in blamed for a lot of things.
It's totally I mean, I don't see how these people are stupid for even trying to come to you on this.
But I'm calling you to talk to you about in Arizona.
Obviously, you know about the immigration law that was just passed.
Yeah.
Here's my problem with it, Mr. Limbaugh, and maybe you can help me.
Everybody that's on in New York in Washington, D.C. is an expert about what's happening way out here in West.
Uh like uh Reverend Um, the guy who lies all the time.
Um, here, grab grab grab audio sub by 27.
I want you to listen to this with me together, Kurt.
Are you maybe talking about the Reverend uh Dak?
Hmm.
Uh yeah, or something.
Al Sharpton.
Well, we'll get to him later, but here's a soundbite this afternoon on television from the Reverend Dax.
Is it time for Congress to tackle the issue of immigration?
It is time with 12 million ondocumented work who do generate revenue, who do pay taxes, who do have children in schools, who are born here.
In fact, it should be addressed and immediately because it's becoming an issue that's hot and then just really it's a form of terrorism.
For the innocent, not just for the guilt.
I mean, you look suspicious because you are Mexican okay, Curtis in Tempe, Arizona, the Reverend Jackson has just claimed that your law out there is terrorism.
Yeah, right.
Isn't that the same guy that embezzled a million dollars out of Operation Push back in 68?
I'm from Chicago.
I think that's Jackson and Al Sharpton, whether they want to realize it or not, they have no street cred, especially Al Sharpton.
He hasn't apologized for the lacrosse Duke lacrosse thing for the Tawana Brawley thing.
I mean, he's got no street cred in my mind.
Well forgive me, but if the blacks want to, and and I'm not, I mean, I was born in Gary, Indiana raised in Chicago.
And forgive me.
But if the blacks want to, you know, if they're I mean, if I'm getting off point, but this is if they want to have, you know, the racial tensions and everything eased down, they got to get rid of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson because they're the ones stirring the pot.
Well, it's not going to happen because uh uh the Reverend Sharpton is now the uh the regime's liaison to the street.
Obama and Sharpton are now inseparable.
So I said yesterday, Sharpton has gone from the streets to the suites, back to the streets to complain about the sheets.
Okay, we'll navigate uh into the Arizona immigration thing.
We get back in the next hour.
But notice here all this outrage over Arizona's abuse of power.
Right?
Now, notice how the the Democrats, the regime, the media, the left are calling Arizona's new immigration bill an outrageous usurpation of power.
Meanwhile, that same regime is moving to take away our salt, our light bulbs, reaching down into every nook and cranny of our lives, and they don't bat an eye.
And yet they have the audacity to accuse Arizona's immigration bill of being an outrageous usurpation of power.
