Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Thrilled and delighted that you are here.
I am America's real anchorman, America's truth detector, and the doctor of democracy.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
The email address, LRushBaugh at EIBNet.com.
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, the rig blows up in the 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, bottles of dawn dishwasher 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 100 zillion years.
And here in an election year, when we're trying to get cap and trade, which Lindsey Gramnesty may have 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 soundbites coming up.
Carl 11 dropping the S-bomb 11 times.
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 Carl 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 this Goldman Sachs buddy, John Paulson, the hedge fund king, made a $1 billion profit from going short on these collateralized debt obligations, 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 they're thinking, 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?
And to the 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.
Deutsche Bank lost $150 million within months on the purchase, and ABN Amro lost $840 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 them?
I mean, maybe we have, but it hadn't been in the news.
So Goldman Sachs claims that they have lost $90 million in this deal.
The SEC is alleging that Goldman materially misstated and omitted facts in disclosure documents for the synthetic collateralized debt obligation product that 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, the Paulson guy, was going to short the package.
And he had helped select the mortgages for the package against which he planned to bet against.
The SEC also alleged that this guy Ture, Francois or Francine or whatever, Ture, misled ACA into believing that Paulson invested approximately $200 million in the equity of Abacus 207 ICI.
That is, he took a long position, but Goldman claims to never told ACA that Paulson was a long investor and that his normal business practice market makers do not disclose the identities of a buyer or seller and buy his personal.
Now, the upshot here of this is that right now, no criminality has been alleged.
It's a civil complaint.
If, and this is where Goldman's going to get shafted here, folks, and you may think they deserve it.
I 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 to say it may be both a pack of thieves.
And in this case, Goldman, I know, is in the back pocket of the regime.
Goldman donated all kinds, 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 going to grab a phone call real quick here because I want to address the point here that, oh, no.
What was his first name from Lake Worth?
What was the guy's name?
Doesn't matter.
We had a guy right 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, well, his point was anything, HR, either the reform package or this.
His point, well, I'm assuming because I wanted to talk to him about it.
His point was that the Democrats are always going to 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, 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 Reigns, Jamie Gorelik, and anybody and everybody that ran Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
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 have, this is 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, big pharmaceutical or whatever.
Just have half the suspicion.
I don't care whether the Republicans win in this.
I'm not trying to tell 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 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, 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 multi-millionaire portfolios, multi-million portfolios, or people who are successful to begrudge a state worker a $100,000 a year salary or $100,000 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 an auto worker, but a federal union employee has a great pension, a great health care system, because whatever great health care pension they have, whatever great retirement pension they have, it's nothing compared to the massive investment portfolios 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, Snurdley?
For example, 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 written in retirement after working 25 years.
And I've said to them, do you realize you're going to have nobody sympathizing with you on this?
Here you are with your giant house.
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 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 $100,000, you have to understand the people paying for this, vast majority of them, are not going to have retirements of anywhere near $100,000 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, $100,000 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 highfalutin big business guys.
When now everybody knows fat cat cronies on Wall Street and big business guys are in the back pockets of the Democrats 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 is 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've got 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 of 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 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 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 know, well, just look at the clock.
Got to 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 will 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.
I'm going to 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.
When the argument today is not about rich versus poor, where we are 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.
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 recovering Democrat, and I thank you for all that you're doing.
My husband's been a big fan of yours for over 10 years.
This Goldman Sachs business, you know, they gave money to Obama during the campaign.
A million dollars worth total.
You know, you would think he would look on them a little bit lightly, but 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, George Soros.
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 has profited.
He's profited from the decline of the British currency.
He has stated over and over again that this is his life's achievement, is wrecking the U.S. and the world economy.
He profits from it.
You're talking about going short.
Exactly.
George Soros.
And, you know, there are people who think that Soros is in bed with the American left 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.
They don't like the way it is now.
But look, by definition here, Rose, 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 taking on Goldman Sachs.
He's a huge capitalist is the wrong way to put it.
Is an industrialist wrecking capitalist societies he doesn't like.
George Soros made 2.8 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 the the the, the housing bubble.
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.
He profits amidst decline.
He made 3.3 billion dollars last year in just in just one area of the market.
I mean, that's not his whole annual.
Take rose.
Thanks, Walt in Glendale Arizona.
It's great to have you on the program.
Hi, Mega Dittos Rosh, thank you.
Um, it's interesting uh that today they're going after Goldman Sacks and they're slapping him around, but a year ago march, they uh sold Indymac 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 Shumer.
Chuck You Schumer.
Who goes public with how Indymac 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.
There's no stockholders and in the first nine months they made 1.6 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 thing about this too, is that we're always told it's the 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, we know that Obama is not.
I mean, this is that, this is, this is uh, corporate cronyism.
And that may not be an apt description of what all's going on here, but I think, if you look at the other people that bought it, they one guy had 17 years of Goldman sacks and went out and started his own uh, fund management fund, and the other one had 20 years of Goldman Sacks and and the problem is these people to me, I mean i'm an an-ran capitalist, these 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 helps the economy 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 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 It's not capitalism.
I don't even want to call it crony capitalism.
It's fraud, basically.
Well, I get your point.
I get your point.
But it is class warfare, is what's happening here.
It's a class warfare strategy, which does nothing more than advance liberalism.
But Rush, where are the reporters who this appeal is surprising?
I mean, here you have George Soros, who, when you were talking about the British thing, that was September 6, 1992, when he made $1.1 billion in one day.
It was the biggest 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 $10 billion, shorted the pound because it was weak.
And he knew it was weak.
And that's what you do.
I mean, if you want to make a lot of money, he knew that the British government was not going to put up the money to change that.
And I don't think they realized they had someone out there that could, you know, along with him, with other people too, when he started to short it.
But he made $1.1 billion in one day, just shorting the pound.
But what was your question about that?
You said, where is who?
Where is the reporters?
When you talk about, just think of it, Rush, if you connected the dots here, just on Indy Mac, it's an interesting story.
Why can't they, you know, you take the Democrats, and they're making this money with IndyMac.
That's like asking, why doesn't Satan tell us the truth about hell?
It's not going to happen.
Well, I have a reporter from the Times who've been following this because I was an Indy Mac customer.
In fact, I was, after Chuck Schumer wrote that letter on a Thursday, 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, Indy Mac, were shocked.
They didn't understand what had happened.
They said, why are we being picked out for this?
You know, because at that point, they felt they were just a good bank.
And, you know, there were some.
I'm sure Angelo Mozillo is trying to figure out, what the hell happened here?
I gave Dodd his favorable mortgage.
You have all these guys, low-rate mortgages.
And look at me.
I'm out of work, and I'm destroyed.
What happened to me?
Yeah, another thing, I have a friend who is in the bank, and I'm in the construction business, and we can't get loans here.
And I asked him, what about construction?
What about construction loans?
And they said, oh, we stopped giving those a long time ago.
So the question is, how can you make $1.6 billion in nine months without giving loans to people?
And there's another story in there.
I've just heard some rumors on how this deal went down with the FDIC.
But you still, it's hard to believe that you took a bank that Chuck Schumer killed and that you somehow can make $1.6 billion in the first nine months.
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 a truth about the regime is like asking Satan to tell us the truth about hell.
Well, here, there's a big story.
The Heritage Foundation's Morning Bell today makes a great point about Obama's deficit reduction committee headed up by Irksom Bowles and Alan Babe Simpson.
And the point that he's making is 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 Irksom Bowles and Alan Babe Simpson.
And they get to come back with all the recommendations of a VAT 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.
That's right, Limbaugh.
I had no idea.
I'm sitting here.
I got all kinds of things going on.
I had no idea definitely get out of here.
In fact, I left this country with surplus, as you well know, who did not do any such thing.
They get to act 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 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 it be beyond Mother's Day, I mean, this is just the best of its kind.
Sherry's Berries.
I've told you about these.

I'm not going to say I ate the whole box.
We still get shipments of them in here.
And I did.
I took them home for the weekend.
They are just out of this world.
I've never seen strawberries this big and this delicious and this beautiful looking with the way that looks like the chocolate is painted on them.

And as I say, you don't have to stop with mom.
You can give them to mother-in-law.
Oh, guaranteed to score points there.
Or give them to yourself.
They are just Sherry's Berries, 866-FRUT02 or rushberries.com.
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 being 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.
Like Reverend the guy who lies all the time.
Well, here, grab audio soundbite 27.
I want you to listen to this with me together.
Are you maybe talking about the Reverend Dak?
Al something.
Al Sharpton.
Well, we'll get to him later, but here's a soundbite this afternoon on television from the Reverend Dak.
Is it time for Congress to tackle the issue of immigration?
It is time with 12 million undocumented workers who do generate revenue, who do pay taxes, who do have children's schools, who are born here.
In fact, it should be addressed immediately because it's becoming an issue that's hot and dangerous.
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.
Jesse 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 La Crosse, Duke La Crosse thing, for the Tawana Brawley thing.
I mean, he's got no street cred in my mind.
And forgive me, but if the blacks want to, 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, I'm getting off point, but this is, if they want to have, you know, the racial tensions and everything ease 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 the Reverend Sharpton is now the regime's liaison to the street.
Obama and Sharpton are not inseparable.
So I said yesterday, Sharpton has gone from the streets to the sweets, back to the streets to complain about the sheeps.
Okay, we'll navigate 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 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.
