Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Yeah, I just got the audio soundbite roster here, folks, about five minutes ago.
Uh yeah, that's about when I always get it, snerdily.
What do you mean?
No, I don't get this hours ahead of time.
I get it five minutes before the show starts.
Because I'm a professional.
That's I can go through it so fast.
Oh, that's that's true.
Most hosts probably would need the audio sound bites an hour early to be able to figure out how to move into program.
No, I get them at five minutes for short if I'm lucky.
So we're supposed to have a post-racial president.
Instead, Barack Obama's the most racial president.
Folks, I went through the audio sound bites here, and 95% of them are about race.
95% of the audio sound bites are about race, one to one degree or another.
And I predicted this would be the case.
Greetings, great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh behind the proverbial golden EIB microphone.
Our telephone number as always 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I never forget this.
Before the election, during the campaign, 2008.
Rush, Rush, don't you think the election of Obama will put race behind us as a nation?
Nope, it's only going to make it worse.
It's only going to make it worse, I said, and it is.
Now we've got Shirley Sherrod.
Shirley Sherrod essentially saying Obama's not down for the struggle.
She wants to talk to him.
She wants to talk to Obama because he hasn't gone through things like she went through, meaning he's not down for the struggle.
He doesn't have slave blood.
That's how you translate that.
This is getting ridiculous.
It's embarrassing.
And it is tearing the country apart.
And everybody thought it was going to end.
Everybody thought we're going to have this new unity here.
And you can't get past the issue.
You simply can't get past it.
And of course, it's the left.
It keeps bringing it up.
Charles Krauthammer had a great point yesterday on uh on the special report with Brett Baer.
And that is that the uh we had the country had an argument over size of government, and the people that want a big government lost.
So now they go back to the race card, which is what they always do when they're in trouble.
They're cheapening the whole notion of race and racial differences, and they're they're creating a whole hum reaction in a lot of people about it.
The the people whose reactions is not whole hum is not the kind of reaction the left wants unless they are purposely trying to keep the country royal, which they are.
Now we'll we'll get to all that, but you know, most racial presidency we have, not post-racial.
Leading indicators suggest recovery slowing.
And from the keepers of the faith at the Associated Press, a private research group says its gauge of future economic activity dropped in June, the second decline in the past three months, suggesting a U.S. economy, your economic recovery will weaken.
Now, for the recovery to weaken, it would actually have to be happening.
It would have to be a recovery, and there isn't.
The only place there is an economic recovery is in the hearts and minds of the non-existent media.
The people who pretend to be reporters, anchors, and all that.
That's the only place a recovery exists.
There is no economic recovery.
The number of Americans filing for initial unemployment insurance climbed last week.
The government said Thursday, and there's nothing surprising about it this time.
Normally this headline would say the story would say the number of Americans filing for initial unemployment insurance surprisingly or unexpectedly climbed last week.com.
Now remember just last week when these jobless claims were down.
And everybody was all excited about it.
Now, now of course, uh Reuters Uh version of the story uh says labor department officials said there were no special factors affecting the job numbers, but noted that the Independence Day holiday could have caused a backlog in processing applications.
Great.
There's never been a Fourth of July holiday before.
This is the first time ever that a Fourth of July holiday actually affected unemployment numbers.
The uh the jump in jobless claims signals more coming in the way of a slack labor market that'll curb the growth of wages and employment income and thereby consumer spending.
This just read Oh, and folks, there's a there's a couple of stories out there.
One's in the Wall Street Journal, one's in the Hill.com today, about all of the Democrats now who want to extend the Bush tax cuts.
It's not a whole lot of them, but there's a significant number of Democrats who don't want the Bush tax cuts to sunset in uh in January for everybody, including for the rich.
Now, what's interesting about this is do they mean it?
Or are they just articulating this for their campaigns, their re-election coming up this fall?
Let's assume hypothetically for the moment here that they mean it.
What does it tell us?
It means they know, and they've known all along the real value of tax cuts.
If they want to extend these tax cuts, because they're saying we don't need tax increases right now.
We don't have an economic recovery going on.
We're gonna forestall a recovery if we increase taxes.
They are admitting these Democrats are that raising taxes slows the economy.com.
General Motors, Government Motors, will acquire autofinance company Americred Corp in a three and a half billion dollar deal aimed at increasing the availability of auto loans and leases.
The uh the deal gives uh government motors an in-house lender for the first time since it sold uh control of GMAC.
Now, Government Motors has purchased a private sector lender.
What this essentially means is that the Obama administration has taken over a private sector lender because the Obama regime owns General Motors.
So another creative means of moving assets from the private sector to the regime.
While everybody, oh well, look at this.
General Motors is growing.
Look at they have so much money can go buy a finance cup.
Whose money is it?
And then you get dingy Harry, dingy Harry out there, Graham.
Let's see what it is.
Audio said by 27.
This is dingy Harry yesterday morning on the Senate floor speaking about all of this.
Isn't it a good thing today in America we have an automobile manufacturing sector?
If it had been up to them, General Motors would be gone.
If it were up to them, Ford Motor Company would probably be gone.
Chrysler would definitely be gone.
Uh Harry Reid saying that the auto bailout saved Ford when Ford didn't get any bailout money.
Uh this is desperation.
Nothing is working, no liberal idea is working the way they've all, some of them thought their ideas are going to work, and now they've taken over another private sector lender.
Under the guys, look at this.
Look what we did.
Our takeover of government motors has been so successful, we're able to go out there, we're able to go out there and buy and expand the auto company by having our own lender, yeah, the government.
Uh weekly claims turn higher, keeping jobs outlook fragile.
Congress has an approval rating of 11%.
That's the news today.
11% approval.
Obama has orchestrated all of this pain.
He's delivered the pain.
Obama enjoys what he sees from the Hill dot com.
What is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction, and that the surest way out of these storms we've been in is to keep moving forward, not back.
That's the president.
Prepared remarks, set for delivery.
Smith electric vehicles in Kansas City last week.
Clinton said, I feel your pain.
And Clinton pretended to be hurt by the pain we were having that he was feeling.
Well, Obama is delivering the pain.
Obama delivers the pain on a silver platter.
And he really, really likes it.
He golfs, he parties with $100 per pound wagyu beef.
He celebrates what he sees across the fruited plain.
He's out there talking about we're back from the brink.
Whatever he's looking at, he's happy.
He sees all this and he sees economic recovery.
More job destruction, less disposable income in the pipeline, a regulation nightmare for fossil fuel energy companies is next.
And uh, oh, this is you know, this is next story.
I love this.
Grab audio sound bites three and four.
Um back in the initial days of the oil spill.
I always take a risk here.
In our culture today, folks, it's a risk, to tell the truth.
And I said, Yes, spill is bad.
We'd rather not have it happen.
But the earth is a magical thing.
And this is going to be taken care of.
The ocean, the Gulf of Mexico will handle the oil that is leaking into it that's pouring into it.
The problem we're gonna have is if oil gets ashore.
That's when it's a problem.
It gets into the groundwater when it gets into the uh in the actual ground itself, then you've got major cleanup challenges.
But out of the out of the Gulf, it's a blip.
And remember we gave you the stats.
Fill a bathtub with water.
The amount of oil in that bathtub to equal the spill in the Gulf of Mexico wouldn't fill a thimble.
In fact, it would be infinitesimal.
There's now a graphic that's out there that shows um the inside of a football stadium.
If the inside of, say, Texas Stadium or the Superdome were the Gulf of Mexico, the amount of oil that's leaked so far would be equivalent to a 24-ounce can of beer.
Gulf boats having trouble finding any oil, U.S. official says.
Some 750 boats drafted in to scoop up oil from the Gulf of Mexico, having trouble finding any crude in the sea.
Yeah, we're we're starting to have trouble finding oil, said U.S. point man Thad Allen in charge of handling the government's response.
The boats which have been drafted in to skim oil off the surface of the Gulf, they're really having to search for the oil in some cases.
Um around the area of the well, we we just can't find it.
Uh Allen said some of the boats used in the skimming operations were being brought ashore for repairs as attention turned more towards cleaning up the oil, it's already washed ashore, which is what they ought to be focusing on.
But now our lead point cannot even find the oil.
They're out there looking for it and they can't find it.
And they're even looking deep.
If the Gulf was a football stadium, the Gulf of Mexico is the seventh largest body of water in the world, contains approximately 660 quadrillion gallons of water.
That's 660 with 15 and zeros.
If the Gulf of Mexico was represented by the stadium, the football stadium, cowboy stadium in Dallas, the largest dome stadium in the world.
The amount of oil spilled would be about the size of a 24-ounce can of beer.
Yesterday in Lafayette, Louisiana, there was a rally for economic survival protesting the deep water drilling moratorium of the Obama regime.
Here is Governor Bobby Gendal.
The President of the United States came down here, met with us in person.
This is what he told us.
He said this to me.
He said, Governor, if people lose their jobs because of the moratorium, they can file a BP claim.
I said, Mr. President, with all due respect, what if BP doesn't pay?
He said, Don't worry, Governor, they can file an unemployment claim.
I said with all due respect, Mr. President, our people don't want a BP check or an unemployment check.
We want to go back to work.
Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Gendal taking it to President Obama.
We don't want to check.
We don't want welfare.
We don't want a BP check.
We don't want to on an unemployment check.
We want to work.
Here is the second bite from Governor Jindal's remarks.
They don't understand in Washington, D.C. They literally said to us.
The administration said to us, the rigs will just come back.
The rigs will just come back.
Like you could turn off and on a switch.
They don't understand.
Once these rigs go, they're gone for years.
In Louisiana alone, we'll lose 20,000 jobs.
Across the Gulf Coast, tens of thousands of additional jobs.
That's why today is so important.
We need our voices to be heard.
We need them to understand if they hear nothing else from today.
They need to hear us say this.
Let us go back to work.
We don't want a BP check.
We don't want an unemployment check.
We want to go back to work, powering the American economy.
That represents the majority of thinking throughout this country, not just Louisiana, not just down in the Gulf of Mexico.
The story on this from the uh advocates Acadiana Bureau, thousands protest drilling moratorium at rally.
Thousands attended a rally in Lafayette yesterday aimed at convincing the Obama regime to lift the drilling moratorium, which officials said could further endanger the state through the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.
The rally for economic survival was held at a Cajun Dome.
It drew about eleven thousand people.
Some dressed in their oil industry uniforms, others in shirts with messages bearing drill baby drill and no moratorium.
Lieutenant Governor Scott Angel served as master of ceremonies and fired up an already lively crowd, proclaiming it's time to quit punishing innocent American workers to achieve some unrealistic political agenda.
If I'm not mistaken, he's a Democrat.
Gindle, of course, is a Republican.
One of 12 speakers pleaded with Obama to let our people work.
The rally was in opposition to the Obama regime's ongoing efforts to temporarily block deep water drilling.
Anybody doubt that this is purposeful?
Anybody doubt the aim here is to cause harm?
Now imagine.
Have you seen much about this rally?
Have you seen much about this in the so-called media?
No.
But imagine if this rally had been an anti-drilling event.
Imagine if 11,000 people had shown up for an anti-drilling event.
Americans forced out of work by a regime hostile to non-union workers, it's what's going on here.
If this story had agreed with the media and agreed with the Obama regime template, it would have been all over the news last night and today.
Instead, Americans will hear a federal bureaucrat was fired because conservatives are racist.
That's the big story today, this continuing racial embroyo, which we'll try to put in perspective.
Here's really all you need to know.
It turns out that Andrew Breitbart was exactly right.
This woman did not have an epiphany when she was at the USDA.
When she was speaking to the NAACP, she did not have an epiphany about you know what?
It isn't about race.
It's about rich versus ports.
If you listen to the whole speech as people have 43 minutes, she's racist.
The NAACP is racist.
And this whole story has been manipulated, wind and dyed, formed and flaked in order to present the usual template that it's us, that it's conservatives who are racist.
Quick timeout, friends, a lot still to go, of course, in the first hour here of the EIB network.
Do not go away.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity.
Simply by showing up.
Great to have you here.
There was a story recently, uh Gallup poll, the generic ballot that showed the Democrats were all of a sudden way ahead of the Republicans.
Nobody could figure it out.
What brought this about?
What happened?
And the spin from the apparatus.
You know, I'm I'm really I'm still looking for a term.
I you know, we're we're in it's ingrained in us to refer to these people as the media.
We know there is no media.
They're just leftists.
These are the propagandists, the pretenders, the the apparatchics.
Uh regardless, these people who pretend to be media, the spin was, well, the reason the reason the Democrats have launched themselves ahead of the Republicans in the generic ballot is because the Republicans opposed expending extending unemployment benefits.
Well, Neil Stevens at redstate.com has looked into it and has a post that Gallup was caught lying about the generic ballot.
The Gallup Generic Ballot is a trusted, widely respected source.
I've analyzed it extensively, defended it to others, but yesterday when I covered the poll's latest release, Gallup lied.
I was lied to, you were lied to.
Everybody who's trusted the Gallup name got lied to.
How?
Gallup is combining two different sampling methods into one so-called trend of registered voters.
And there's a graph here that shows this.
They get different results, but they pretend that they show one trend all the same.
The bottom line here, without going into all the minutia in detail, is that nothing is real.
Nothing is real.
And I mentioned the other day, now that we know who these people are, they're activists, they're not reporters, they're not media.
Their polls, as we've also known, are also unreal.
This morning in Washington, D.C., the leader of the regime signed another piece of legislation, the improper payments elimination and recovery act.
Now, what does that sound like to you?
The improper payments elimination and recovery act.
Then make it easy.
What is it?
What the hell is this?
I have no idea what this is.
The improper payments elimination and recovery.
So we're going to eliminate improper payments.
Who's improper payments?
And what recovery?
Anyway, here's Obama explaining why this is all wonderful.
When government doesn't work like it should, it has a real effect on people's lives.
On small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college, on the men and women who've served this country and are trying to get the benefits that they've earned.
And when we continue to spend as if deficits don't matter.
That means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debts that they'll never be able to repay.
The guy's a joke.
He's an ever-loving joke.
The problem is he's president of the United States and he's destroying us.
When government doesn't work like it should, it has a real effect on people's lives, as though the only thing important in your life is government.
And when government doesn't work, you get the shaft.
And it is just the opposite.
When government doesn't work, an example, on small business owners who need loans, what does government have to do with small business loans?
And if it has anything to do with them, it shouldn't.
Small business people look to government and say, what do I have to do to escape these people?
Small business owners look to government, okay, what kind of obstacles are they going to put in my way?
Small business people look at government and go, oh no.
Small business owners look at government and curse.
And here is this.
A most inexperienced boob in any room he happens to occupy, saying when government doesn't work like it should, it has a real effect on people's lives.
On small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college.
Why should government have anything at all to do with whether you want to go to college or whether you do go to college or what happens to you when you're at college?
What why why should government have any involvement?
On the men and women who serve this country and trying to get the benefits that they've earned.
You know, there's a there's there's a word in the American lexicon that by itself is destroying us.
And that word is benefits.
Virtually everything in life is now portrayed as a benefit from the government, and it's something that people ought to aim for.
Make sure you get your benefits.
I hate the word benefits.
I utterly despise it.
I despise it for what it means.
That way it's used, the current context, I despise the word for what it creates in people in terms of a thought process or goal or an objective, yeah, I'm out to get my benefits.
Let me tell you in my life, and I'm not that uncommon.
I have never once been focused on benefits.
Not once.
Even when I was applying for jobs and the benefits of the I mean, I wasn't focused on sick days or vacation time, health care, or any of that.
I just, you know, what am I going to get paid?
How can I get paid more?
What do I have to do to get paid more?
What do I have to do to get the job and keep the job?
What is benefits garbage?
And then we got the political part, Democrat Party of the Left.
All I do is talk about benefits when government isn't working, people don't get their benefits.
Unemployment compensation benefit.
It's a welfare program.
It's a new entitlement.
Benefits.
And of course, benefits and entitlements go together.
We are entitled to our benefits.
The men and women who serve this country trying to get the benefits they've earned when government doesn't work.
Whose fault is it when government doesn't work?
And when we continue to spend as if deficits don't who is spending as if deficits don't matter?
Mr. President, who?
Who is spending as if president deficits don't matter?
None other than you.
None other than your party.
That means our kids and our gradkids may wind up saddled with debts they'll never be able to reap.
They already are, thanks exclusively to you.
Maddening.
And then, of course, our buddies from the Ministry of Truth.
How about that as a name for the media?
The Ministry of Truth from the regime, the regime's ministry of truth, to replace media.
I'm going to come up with something.
Because there is no media.
And what they do isn't real.
And we have to sit here and we have to have our intelligence and everything else we have insulted every day by this little man child who has no more business being in the White House.
I'm really starting to get steamed in here.
This is I hear soundbites.
Play this damn soundbite again.
I can't, I I, folks.
What the hell did you people have voted for this guy have done?
What have you done?
Do you have any regrets whatsoever?
When are you people voted for this doofus going to apologize?
We are owed an apologize, an apology.
Look at what's happening.
The most racial president we've ever had.
He's come to divide all anybody's talking about its race.
This is the one-year anniversary of Obama calling the Cambridge cops stupid.
And now we've got Shirley Sherrod.
Wants to talk to Obama because he's not down for the struggle.
She doesn't think he understands what it's like to have grown up the way she did.
And yet at the same time, people are telling us she's not about race rush.
This woman's about rich versus poor.
This woman's about equality.
No, no, no.
She was at the NAALCP, which is which equals racism.
Forget it, forget calling them the NAACP.
They are now the R-A-C-I-S-M.
NAACP equals racism.
And they're all applauding her when she's talking about racism.
We got a president who's inspiring this.
We have a president who's encouraging this.
And saying absolutely stupid, ridiculous, insulting things like this.
Audio soundbite 28, I guess.
When government doesn't work like it should, it has a real effect on people's lives.
On small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college, on the men and women who serve this country and are trying to get the benefits that they've earned.
Benefits, benefits.
And when we continue to spend as if deficits don't matter, that means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debts That they'll never be able to repay.
When we continue to spend deficits don't matter.
That means our kids and grandkids may wind up saddled with debts that they'll never be able to repay.
Meanwhile, let's go to sound bites five and six.
Here's the second most unqualified guy in any room he walks into.
This diminutive, tiny little egghead elitist treasury secretary, tax cheat.
And we were told he had a we had to forgive his tax cheat, tax cheatedness because he's the only guy qualified to administer the TARP bailouts.
This is last night on the Ministry of Truth's Charlie Rose show.
And a question did it drive a wedge between the president and the administration on one hand at Wall Street and the uh and the business community on the other.
There's nothing remarkable in this, is that businesses would like to be able to operate with less regulation, fewer constraints, and lower taxes.
As you'd expect, they want as much leverage as they can, power influence as they can to make sure that they can operate with lower taxes, lower regulation in the future.
Our job, though, again, is to try to do what we think is best for the broader public interest for the economy as a whole.
And I think in this bill, you saw that broader public interest prevail.
That's regime speak.
That is elitist speak.
That is this is ruling class speak.
This is I'm smarter than you, this is I'm better than you.
So he says, well, of course, yes, businesses uh lower taxes, of course.
You expect that they want as much leverage as they can.
Power, influence, uh, if they can't make sure they can uh operate with lower taxes, lower regulation, but screw them.
We're gonna make sure none of that happens because we're working for the benefit of the American people.
And the benefit of the American people is to make sure they don't shafted by these people who want lower taxes and less regulation.
We're gonna make sure there aren't any businesses to hire anybody.
We're gonna co-cap for the American people because we're smarter than everybody else.
We I'm Tim Geitner and I'm smarter than you are.
I got an egghead-shaped head, and I'm that means there's bigger brain in there, and I got more brain cells, and I'm smarter than you are, and these people want lower taxes, and they want lower regulations, but screw them.
He wasn't through.
Ranking member of the Ministry of Truth, Charlie Rose.
Some people worry the recovery is stalled, Mr. Geitner.
Job creation's not where it ought to be.
Look at the housing market.
Are we getting worse?
Are we getting better?
It's not getting better as fast as we would like.
And a lot of that is simply because, again, you know, this is a crisis in part because caused by the fact that people were living beyond their means for a long period of time.
And so inevitably we were going to go through a very difficult transition as people saved more, reduced their debt burdens.
And the crisis, you know, caused stunning damage to basic confidence among businesses.
So uh uh uh Geitner here has blamed the financial crisis ultimately on the American people living beyond their means.
Uh it's not getting better as fast as we would like.
Uh a lot simply uh, again, you know, this a crisis in part because it's caused by uh the fact that people uh living living beyond their means in a long period of time like me.
Uh I wouldn't pay my taxes.
Um inevitably uh um we're we're really go through a very difficult transition.
Uh people save more, uh, reduce their debt burdens.
Uh the crisis, you know, is stunning damage, uh basic confidence among businesses.
What the hell is he talking about?
It's all gobbledygook.
Kind of cocktail party jingo that you get from people that have the faintest idea what they're talking about.
This is the kind of theory you get in the faculty lounge.
Where everything's abstract.
There aren't really people.
There aren't businesses, and there aren't jobs, it's just abstract theory.
That only the smart people caneuver the chess pieces to uh make it all work.
Geitner's the guy he told us that capitalism would be different under Obama.
Back in uh March of 2009, he appeared once again with the Ministry of Truth's Charlie Rose, and toward the end of the interview, he said American capitalism it's Uh it's gonna be different under Obama.
It's uh financial system, too.
It's gonna be it's gonna be different uh under Obama.
Everybody wants lower taxes.
Lower regulation and uh remarkable thing is they're gonna lower taxes and try to manipulate that future and so on.
Our job was to screw them.
No, no, no, but the NAACP has released the entire video of Shirley Sherrod.
That's what's happened.
They've released it.
And everybody's jumping on Andrew Breitbart because he only played an edited version, and the edit was uh was such that the whole video is taken out of context.
We'll go listen to the whole thing now.
Just the NAACP has asked everybody to listen to the whole video, so go do it.
And play parts of it now where where this woman, Ms. Sherrod, is revealed accusing Republicans and conservatives who oppose government-run health care of doing so because the president's black.
Or some such nonsense.
You ought to watch the entire video.
It's 40 some odd minutes.
I I can't listen to it.
It's it's it's got so much reverb in it, I need to have it closed captioned to be able to hear the whole thing or read a transcript of it.
Uh, but parts of which I have read transcripts of, and it's it's clear.
There this woman did not have any epiphany about learning that it's not about race, it's about haves versus have nots.
And even if it is about haves or have nots, isn't that part of the Democrat redistributionist agenda anyway?
One of her she has some children, one of her kids is named Russia.
As in R U S A S S I A. Now I'm going to grab some phone calls here quickly.
We're going to go to Rockford, Illinois, January 1st.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
I love you.
Thank you.
Congratulations on your wedding to you and Catherine.
Hey, I I've been listening this morning, and these sound bites from this doofus that we have in this white house has just got me angry on so many levels.
Um I I I want to know what world this guy lives in because he he is just so out of touch.
My husband and I own a small business, and we have two retail stores.
We're trying to expand into a new location.
Oh, not into another location where we think that the business would be more profitable and whatnot.
And we can't get a loan.
We have gone to the bank that holds the mortgage on our one building, and they won't give us a loan.
We've gone to the ball.
Well, now wait, wait a minute.
What that that's that's what Obama says.
He says that's where government needs to fix.
I know.
You can't government government, uh, when government isn't working, you can't get a loan.
Does it right?
Well, and so you're agreeing with Obama.
No, wait, so you're agreeing with Obama.
Well, no, no.
I think he is the reason that we can't get the loan.
He's done all these things and put all these regulations, all the financial reform, gobbledygook, as you would call it, and and into place, and we just we can't find financing.
We've exhausted almost every bank in in Rockford.
We're on our last straw right now.
We just we went to another bank that we have no affiliation with.
We're just we're just grasping at straws.
And the the thing is, Russ, we're not a brand new startup business.
My husband has been in this business for over 30 years.
Um we started our first expansion right before 9-11 hit.
We spent eight years digging ourselves out of that hole because the business really dropped.
Let me ask you a quick question.
Uh, why do you want to expand now?
Well, we're we're just we're c the location that we're in right now, we just don't have the retail traffic.
It used to be a mall, and then um, without giving away too much stuff, I really don't want to get into it.
Well, let me rephrase it.
Let me let me rephrase it.
Why do you want to take on more debt?
Well, no, we're looking to make more money for ourselves, actually.
We we we struggle, we you know, we pay our bills on time and all that, but we just we just can't grow the business.
We're just kind of at a standstill, stagnant point, and we know we can make it, and you know, our we've been successful.
We spent eight years digging out after 9-11, but we know we can make it, and we can't find the financing.
And it's so frustrating.
It's just it's just it's just unbelievable.
I I'm tired of this guy giving the impression to the American people that he is behind the small business man that who does he think is doing this to us.
I mean, it it's him.
It's tax policies, it's it's this health care bill, it's everything.
And I guess the last point I would like to make is as for an apology from the idiots who voted for this guy.
I'm not waiting for that.
I'm not even gonna hold my breath because um I'm gonna go.
I know.
I was making an apology, Russ.
How about a vote for Republicans or conservatives in November instead of an apology?
All right, thanks very much, Jane.
I appreciate it.
Every time I take a call here, I just can't get past the anger and the desperation that's out there.
I don't care, it's a farmer, a small business person, they want to grow, they want to expand, and they can't.
And we all know why.
And this frustration is just it's frustrating itself to hear all of this.
It is perfectly obvious to me, and when you hear the sound bites coming up as we continue to explore the Shirley Sherid case, as it were, that all these people who have been clamoring for a colorblind society do not in any way want one.
They live off race, they thrive on it.
The people demanding an end to racism are the last people that want an end to racism.
