Time Text
And greetings, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
El Rushmo having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have as a country goes bankrupt right before our very eyes.
It's a thrill and a delight to have you with us.
The telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
One more Maxine Waters soundbite number 21 on the Soundbite roster.
This is from 1995.
This is Maxine Waters on her high horse over Newt Gingrich's ethics.
The American public does not appreciate double standards.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
No one should be so big, so important, so powerful, they can violate the rules of this house and the laws of this country without suffering the consequences.
Newt may be speaker.
However, he too must account for any and all wrongdoing.
Right, right.
Just just like uh just like Trent Lott did for Throm Sturmund.
Uh, and uh the financial firm Solomon Barney Frank.
And now Maxine Waters is the gander.
Newt's a goose, Maxine's the gander, and Nancy Pelosi, and Obama are throwing her overboard along with.
Who's the other guy, Charlie Wrangle?
Now here's the story.
This is from the Washington Post.
It's uh Chris Silizza.
And I don't know if this was published or on the blog.
I'm not sure which, but it doesn't matter.
Obama versus the Congressional Black Caucus.
President Obama's relationship with members of the CBC is being tested over a series of high-profile incidents, the latest of which is the ethics investigation into Charlie Wrangle.
On Friday, Obama told CBS News, I think Charlie served a very long time, served his constituents very well, but these allegations are very troubling.
It's time to retire with dignity.
A political story.
I quoted a person close to Wrangle saying that the Congressman doesn't give it to him about what the president thinks about this.
New York Governor David Patterson, who is black, whose father came up in New York politics with a wrangle, seemed to offer a thinly veiled criticism of Obama.
In a radio interview over the weekend, Patterson said he was especially surprised when people from our own community, quote unquote, jumped in, this means Obama, jumped to conclusions before all the facts have been aired, because we've been the greatest victim of that for centuries, said Patterson.
Now remember, the White House tried to tell Patterson not to run for re-election.
It's not just Maxine Waters and Charlie Wrangle.
Obama told Patterson to take a hike.
Patterson didn't take a hike.
The Patterson's out there now.
And before that, it was Carl McCall that the Democrats, these Bill Clinton and Andrew Kumo told Carl McCall to take a hike.
And then who was it down in Georgia?
Maynard Jackson wanted to be head of told Maylor Jackson to go fly a kite.
According to sources familiar with the CBC, Obama's comments on Wrangle were seen as unnecessary and piling on.
Another member of the CBC, Maxine Waters also faced a congressional trial on ethics allegations this fall.
Arthur Davis, Alabama Democrat, who is black member of the CBC, said the congressional black caucus of very protective attitude toward black caucus members who face ethics troubles.
Yep, I'd say so.
Got their hands full right now.
They circle the wagons around fellow members by then.
Let's, hey, let's not forget Harold Ford.
Obama and the Democrats told Harold Ford to go pound sand when he was thinking about running for the Senate in New York.
Because they wanted well, they want Gillibrand to stay there because she's a rubber stamp for Chuck Yu Schumer.
So some congressional black caucus members believe that the organization should observe some code of silence when it comes to ethics charges against their membership.
And Obama is breaking the code by going out there and suggesting that Charlie has served past tense with dignity.
And it's time to move on.
Eighty years old.
He's uh is uh got away with a lot for a long time now, and it's it's the time to retire and enjoy it all.
Four rent control apartments, a condo and a Dominican, they're not paying taxes on.
Charlie!
Go enjoy it all.
You've ended.
Obama didn't stand up for Burris either.
Remember Roland Burris from Illinois, Obama dumped him overboard.
The Democrats didn't want Roland Burris.
That's why I say, are there going to be any black members left in Congress after Pelosi and Obama get through investigating them all?
And don't think they're not thinking it.
Pretty soon the CBC is going to change his name to Congressional Black Caucasians.
Instead of Congressional Black Caucus, because there aren't going to be any of them left.
While the wrangle back and forth dominated a headlines over the weekends, the only latest example of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Obama regime not seeing entirely eye to eye.
Again, this is Chris Eliza in the Washington Post.
To wit, CBC members made no secret of their unhappiness with the firing and attempted rehiring of agriculture department employee Shirley Sherrod over allegedly racist remarks and upon further inspection appeared anything but in an interview with Essence magazine.
The charwoman, a chairwoman of the CBC, Barbara Lee, said that the Obama regime, quote, didn't wait like we did, didn't do their due diligence, and reacted to an unfortunate right-wing attack on a great woman.
That's right.
Obama fired Shirley Sherrod on the word of Andrew Breitbart.
And the CBC not happy.
Can you believe that?
Can you believe Andrew Breitbart puts a video post up there in the White House, oh my God, get rid of the woman.
Things are it's not.
Hunky Dory there.
Florida Congressman Al C. Hastings told the St. Petersburg Times that he was, quote, a little bit put out by the mixed signals that are coming from the White House regarding the Senate candidacy of Representative Kendrick Meek.
Kendrick Meek is a black Democrat going for the Senate seat in Florida, and it appears that the Obama regime is prepared to back Charlie Christ.
No, it appears that way.
Now the White White House is trying to say, no, no, no, no.
But Chris does call them up.
And what makes this funny is Chris just weeks ago was trying to convince all the Republicans how conservative he was.
Now he's trying to get the White House endorsement for his Senate run against Mario Rubio, Marco Rubio, and Alcy Hastings, who knows a thing or two about crime from both sides of it.
From the commission side and the judging side.
Al C. Hastings, I don't like what they're doing to my boy Kendrick.
And Kendrick Meek is meek.
You don't hear about it.
He's minding his own business out there.
He's been very dutiful, he's followed all the rules.
Well, he endorsed Hillary too.
I mean, if you if you if you dig deep here, you don't really have to dig too deep.
You'll find out that that a lot of the uh CBC members under investigation and being thrown overboard, voted, endorsed, campaigned for Hillary Rodman Clinton.
Now, uh, and this Alvin Green.
This this guy in South Carolina.
I mean, the voters might have thought it was Al Green, the gospel singer, but still he got 60 some odd percent of the vote.
And the Democrats everywhere from Dick Hart Pooleon all the way up to the White House were trying to throw this guy overboard.
Meanwhile, we're supposedly the racists here on this side of the aisle.
And before it's all said and done, as I said, the CBC is not gonna be the Congressional Black Caucus.
It's gonna be the Congressional Caucasian caucus, the CCC.
And we're still not through the Chris Silizopis.
Elijah Cummings, a former chairman of the CBC, told the New York Times over the weekend that much, this is a quote, much of the House is in a wait and see mode to see how helpful the president will be.
Wrangle and waters.
Elijah Cummings said he has to come into these districts with the same gusto, the same sense of hope that he came into the election with.
Meaning, is he gonna campaign for CBC members?
Sources familiar with the relationship between Obama and the CBC point to three major causes of tension a generational divide, a lack of relationships, and pure politics.
Well, now this generational divide, you know what that means.
He ain't down for the struggle.
He does not have slave blood.
He does not have any cotton in his past.
He's a magic Negro.
He's exactly what David Einstein said he was in the LA Times.
Generational divide.
He couldn't find Selma on a map even after they took him there.
He had never been beat upside the head while crossing the bridge in Selman.
Nobody ever toned a fire hose on him.
In fact, the way it was paved for Brother Barack.
So that's the generational divide.
Lack of relationships, meaning he doesn't hang with them.
He hangs with the homies, but not with these guys.
He's not hanging with these guys.
These guys over in the hood.
Barack up in the White House eating a Kobe beef.
CBC doing barbecue.
There is no relationship friendship.
And then there's pure politics.
Now taking the generational factor first as Chris Eliza, clearly a divide with the even within the CBC between older African American politicians who tend to put race front and center of their campaigns and a younger group, of which Arthis, Obama, Kendrick Meek, and Harold Ford are a part that tends to deemphasize race in the context of their campaigns.
Deemphasize ra Obama?
Deemphasized race?
Ha ha.
Not true.
Don't forget Obama directly challenged the African American political chain of command when he ran and lost in the 2000 Democrat primary for the Illinois 1st District to Bobby Rush.
Now the the political thing here is this.
What's less clear than the why behind the tensions is the what now.
One party strategist, familiar with the Congressional Black Caucus, painted the following doomsday scenario.
You have a bunch of frontliners and blue dogs, predominantly white members, calling for Wrangle and Waters to step down.
The CBC digs in and defends them and goes after Obama and the party for not adequately defending them.
This causes a big drop in enthusiasm among African Americans for Democrats, coupled with the bitterness over the Sherade incident, and they stay home.
And they say they're not gonna stay home.
Stay home for who?
It's not clear, however, whether dissatisfaction toward Obama within the CBC means broader dissatisfaction within the black community.
Each member has a political base, but there are real questions in the minds of some party strategists whether the collected political power, the CBC, can sway black.
There isn't going to be any political power before Pelosi gets finished.
I'm trying to help you guys in the CBC.
I know you don't think I'm on your side, but I'm gonna tell you.
Anyway, you see it, you may not want to admit it, but they're gunning for you.
Charlie Wrangle, Ways and Means, bye bye, William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
All he did 90 grand in the freezer, big deal.
That's nothing compared to what Rostinkowski used to do, and he hung around until the old folks wanted him gone.
But the House didn't kick him out.
Maxine Waters, some chump change to her husband's bank.
I mean, for Krana, well, Chuck Schumer was allowed to take down a bank, and he's still there.
Pelosi and Obama offering no words of support, no words of encouragement.
Now Pelosi's out there doing okey dokie trying to bamboozle the CBC, trying to hoodwink him.
While Obama's out there saying that the Republicans are trying to do to bamboozle him, the bamboozling is being done by Pelosi.
Reverend Wright, Reverend Wright.
The paraphrase Reverend Wright.
Because he was right here.
Obama ain't never been called a Negro.
But the CBC guys have been.
Sometimes they have, well, in their lives, they have been.
Obama and his life hasn't been.
This is a serious, serious thing here.
When you've got the Washington Post writing about this, uh, and and when you have uh various members of the uh of the uh uh powerful political operative media debating you know what the outcome of this is going to be, it falls upon me to put it all in perspective.
It's very simple.
When Pelosi is finished, there won't be a congressional black caucus.
It's gonna be the Congressional Caucasian caucus, and that's it on the Democrat side.
Back in just a second.
Don't go away.
Now, not only is it the Congressional Black Caucus that's being thrown overboard, so is Vice President Bite Me.
Joe Biden is now under the gun.
Uh yesterday in the White House press briefing, Robert Gibbs threw him under the bus.
Uh former Virginia Governor Doug Wilder threw him under the bus.
I'll tell you what Wilder said here in just a second.
There's a report out there that uh that John McCain and Tom Coburn did itemizing all of the wasteful porculus projects out there.
And it's uh it's Civitas Institute, poured through the federal website, charged with tracking stimulus spending, and created the 10 worst federal stimulus projects in North Carolina.
Number one, a study of monkeys using cocaine, 71 grand.
North Carolina Dance Theater, 50 grand, reducing hot flashes through a yoga.
That got 170 or 147,000.
Collecting, researching, and reporting on the stimulus act.
They paid 115, 150, and 220, a total of 492,000 to collect research and report on the porculus bill.
To create interactive dance performance technology, 762,000.
This is all in North Carolina alone.
African, I'm sorry, American Dance Festival, got 50 grand.
Construction of a new town hall in Bladenborough, total of 300 grand.
North Carolina Folk Life Institute, 25 grand.
Anyway, these are the things that they found.
And remember, Biden was put in charge of making sure this didn't happen.
Remember, Obama said nobody messes would bite me.
Well, I said nobody messes with Joe.
So yesterday, at the White House press briefing, Susan Malvo, who certainly once had a crush on CNN Info Babe, says the McLean McCain Coburn report that cites economic stimulus money says it's been mismanaged or wasted.
They cite 97 projects out of 70,000.
Is this good news, bad news?
Some acknowledgement that some of those projects might not be well managed.
Every day, the vice president, the vice president staff uh work diligently to ensure uh that projects that receive funding abide by certain standards.
Uh all of that is on the internet, uh, a level of transparency uh not seen in government programs, particularly those uh of the magnitude of this.
And I would suggest that uh John McCain and his chief economic advisor during that campaign.
I think the debate's probably better with between the two of them.
Okay, so I mean they all these excesses are cited, and and basically Gibbs says, well, the vice president's in charge of this.
And it's plain as days, plain as it were transparent as hell.
Now, uh L. Douglas Wilder, the whole piece on politico.
Here, Here's here's his main beef.
He wants Wilder.
He wants bite me out, he wants Hillary on a ticket, 2012.
I will refrain from running through the list of Biden Gavs.
Not because I dismiss him, but because late night comedians have made him legendary.
I realize many say that he brings some more humanity to the administration, but there are just too many YouTube moments here.
Even recently, he has continued to undermine what little confidence the public may have had in him.
During his trip to Florida in June, the presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Alex Sink was so upset that she told Politico the whole trip was a screw up, and she was embarrassed by Biden's speech.
A Democrat Party trying to elect its woman governor of a swing state, one Obama's gonna need in 2012.
During the middle of the oil spill crisis in the Gulf, no vice president should leave such ignominy in his wake.
A few weeks uh later, Biden comes south and says that a fundraiser to heavy lifting is over, and now the campaigning can begin.
Really?
Has their crude oil off the uh Gulf Coast disappeared?
Is the unemployment rate back to its mid-90s low?
Is a deficit magically under control of president's approval ratings in the mid-sixties?
Do large majorities of Americans believe we're on the right track?
I don't think so.
But none of that seems to matter to Biden.
People around the country are hurting, and Biden's told him a Democrats in Congress and the White House have done all they can, all they will for him.
So here's Douglas Wilder.
Wanting Biden off the ticket wants Hillary back on.
Obama's getting rid of blacks who supported Hillary for the creational back caucus.
And Gibbs drove Biden overboard yesterday.
You figure it out.
Okay, gonna get to your phone calls in just a second.
But since we're talking about Vice President Bite Me, let me remind you of something.
Vice President Bite Me was just ordered recently to uh what it pay, I think pay back 220,000 to the Treasury because his campaign, presidential campaign, failed to report almost four million dollars in payments and one million dollars in debts.
Now that's corruption.
Now, Bite Me said, Well, yeah, I just forgot about this.
Uh sloppy bookkeeping uh got away with it.
However, however, he's white and he got away with it, the Democrat side.
Charlie Wrangle, Maxine Waters, they're not white.
They're not getting away with it.
He was just ordered to pay back 220 grand.
He failed to report almost four million dollars in payment and a million dollars in debts.
He was dishonest, he lied.
Faulty bookkeeping.
Big uh no big deal.
But uh you have to ask if he were a person of color, would he have gotten off so easily?
I mean, they're clearly double standard here.
Bite me a white guy, hands off, kid glove treatment, Charlie Wrangle, Maxine Waters, see ya.
Time to quit with dignity.
Freddy and Duchess County, New York, your first.
I'm glad you held on.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Oh, hey, great to speak with you, Rush.
Great show as always.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I wanted to talk about this moss that's in the news down the city.
It seems to me like as soon as it made the news, it was a no-win situation.
And why it made the news is beyond me, because the best thing our politicians do is demagogue, filibuster.
I mean, where's uh, you know, my whole life?
I just wanted a bureaucrat to go away, and this is the one time I wanted one.
And, you know, so I just wanted your thoughts on it.
What do you mean it's a no-win situation?
Well, I think uh, you know, if you stop it, it's a religious war.
If it goes ahead, it's a victory for the enemy.
I mean, there's no good in it.
It just seems like it's dividing us again, like uh the Arizona situation.
The people that are sensitive and the people that aren't.
You know, you got all these ones, oh, you gotta let the religion through.
You know, the same old saying.
Now wait a second.
I don't I don't buy the premise that it's a no-win situation.
There are hundreds of mosques all over New York City.
New York City's not denying Muslims mosques, but I mean to put one at ground zero.
I mean, that's caving.
That's not that's not a and to say there's a no-win in Arizona over illegal immigrant.
What happened?
What where's no win in enforcing the borders?
I mean, this is the only way you can have that kind of attitude is if you don't want any controversy or any confrontation or any disagreement.
And that's I mean, you can you can live your life that way.
That's give everybody what they want.
Whatever it means to you, whether they are right or wrong.
And you won't have any confrontation.
Everybody will love you.
You'll be a doormat.
But everybody will like you.
I don't mean it personally, Freddie.
What I I just accept don't accept the premise that this is a no-win situation.
Cliff Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Hello, sir.
Rush, it's an honor.
Thank you.
Rush, I like what you're talking about today.
I think that the Obama administration reminds me of a drowning person.
They are grasping for whatever is in sight, and this is why they're throwing their own under the bus.
Because frankly, they're in trouble.
I mean, the economy stinks.
They have thrown down the race card already, and they've already put their ace on the table, and they're done.
I mean, we're 90 days from this election, and I don't see them.
I don't see anything happening, but they're getting crushed.
They are getting crushed, but Obama's not going to get crushed.
Obama doesn't care.
Obama's not on Obama's not on the ballot.
Obama's not going down the tubes.
He may be thinking these guys over the tubes are maybe throwing them down the tubes himself, but he's not going.
But he's drowning in the arena of history.
He doesn't care.
No that.
He doesn't care.
You think in whose history?
Depends on who's writing the history.
If the communists and the Marxists are writing the history is a hero.
If the unions are writing the history, he's a hero.
That's absolutely correct.
Very choreography rush.
So to whom does he want to be a hero to?
If I if I'm Obama, I'm feeling pretty good about what I've been able to destroy here in just 18 months.
And if my party's in trouble, there's a price to pay for everything, and if this is worth it, fine and dandy.
And if destroying America as founded, if wiping out the American capitalist system is the objective, and if it's going to cost your political party a bunch of seats for a while, go for it.
Or it's worth the price.
There's also an upside for Obama.
There's a big upside.
If he gets rid of a Democrat majority, and the Republicans do win, and all they do is oppose Obama, then he can start blaming them.
I don't doubt that this is something they're planning on.
I mean, if if two years after the fact they're still going to run on run against Bush, if two years after the fact they think the road to victory is running against Bush and trying to convince everybody in the country that this economic disaster is Bush's, then I guarantee you he's looking forward to being able to blame Republicans for eight years while he succeeds in doing what he wants to do.
They're not this is a this is not politics as usual.
This is not politics as if we've always known it.
This is this is not just the usual, okay, the Republicans are gonna win now and then the Democrats are gonna win now and then and um we'll go back and forth uh like a seesaw and uh and trade power.
We've never had an administration like this.
We've never had a president like this.
We we've never had a political party which is willing.
And the party leadership, Pelosi, Stanny Hoyer, Harry Reid, these people are willing to lose in order to finally implement their dream agenda that they have been harboring for 50 years.
It's worth the price to them.
And Obama's not gonna lose anything.
He's not on the ballot.
Here's Joe in Centerport, New York.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, nice to talk to you.
It's an honor.
Thank you, sir.
I've been trying to reach you for many years now.
Uh Rush, I'd like to talk to you today about the mosque in uh in lower Manhattan.
Yeah.
Um and I'd like to just point out to all the liberals out there who think that this is some sort of an outreach program to us.
Just look at the name of the mosque, the Cordoba Mosque.
This is named, this is a significant name in the Muslim faith, okay?
It was uh captured in 7 Eleven, and anybody could just Google this.
All right.
This is nothing I'm making up.
766, it was named the great capital and financial and cultural center in the religion.
What they're doing is claiming victory.
The day the f that that the first piece of concrete is knocked off of that old building to make way for this mosque.
It'll be all over the news.
Oh, I know.
Exactly.
This is exactly as I said at the top of the program.
This is a way to claim victory.
This is not an outreach program.
No, not at all.
We have to this is at the line in the sand.
The people have to come out, come out of their homes and start making themselves seen down there and stuff and and just prohibit any anybody from going near that building.
That whole area down there is sacred ground.
Three thousand citizens die.
Doesn't anybody remember that?
Uh yeah, but they don't want it to happen again.
And so they think that making nice uh will stop these kinds of things.
No, no, that's not gonna happen.
Let me ask you, what what what would happen, do you think if the Ku Klux Klan wanted to establish a memorial at Gettysburg?
Well, uh you know, I don't know.
Nothing's happening in lower Manhattan.
What do you mean you don't know?
You they wouldn't get the first base.
Nobody would put up with the clan building a memorial anywhere, much less Gettysburg.
Well, well, you're right there, but where's where is the the where is the public outrage if we don't have it for lower Manhattan?
But public outrage is there.
You're just not seeing a march in the street.
Bloomberg uh uh Rasmussen, a lot of people are polling.
I mean, the numbers opposing this mosque are in the 70s and 80s.
And and how do you explain Bloomberg's stand on this?
You know, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
And he hasn't even brought that out.
How do I explain Bloomberg's stance on banning trans fat?
For one thing, he's a liberal.
That's all I need to know in explaining Bloomberg.
Number two, he's power hungry.
And number three, he's a nanny.
I I understanding liberals is easy for me.
The frustration you're you're frustrated people aren't in the streets opposing the mosque when the vast majority of the American people, not just in New York, but American people oppose it.
What's frustrating to me is after years, decades of examples of liberal failure and destruction, people still refuse to identify it and recognize it when it's right in front of their face.
How do you explain Bloomberg?
He's a liberal.
Hey, don't give me this.
He's a Republican, or he's a moderate independent or a libertarian.
He's a liberal.
And one of the things that you have to understand about liberals is they look at this country as flawed.
Many liberals.
Privately, some of them publicly believe we got what was coming to us on 9-11.
Because we've been running the world roughshod.
We've been conquering and we have been stealing resources, and we have been enriching ourselves while making the rest of the world poor and impoverished.
Uh it's no, it's not it's it's not hard to understand at all.
Maybe tough to accept, but it isn't hard to understand.
This takes a little courage.
Look, look at this.
I the couple of people have sent me this news story today.
Uh it's out of Kansas City.
The latest form of identity theft doesn't depend on stealing your social security number.
Now, identity thieves are targeting your kids' social security number long before your little crumb cruncher even has a bank account.
Hundreds of online businesses are using computers to find dormant social security numbers, usually those assigned to children who don't use them.
Then they sell those numbers under another name to help people establish phony credit and run up huge debts that they will never Pay off.
I remember my dad took my brother and me down to the Social Security Office.
We were single digits in age.
And we got our social security numbers.
And I said, What's this for?
Yeah, you're gonna need it, son.
It's how the government identifies you.
You're gonna need it.
Anytime you have a job or you're just gonna need it, may as well get it done now.
He was not crazy about it because he knew what it was.
We had to do it.
Well, I had a social security number for years before I ever had a job.
Before I ever had a bank account.
And now identity thieves, and a lot of people are getting their kids social security numbers because they have to do it.
Now, everywhere you look, identity theft is popping up, and it's increasing.
And there are steps you can take to prevent your kids' identity or your own identity from being stolen.
That's life luck.
When it comes to protecting your family, your identity, there's nobody else.
I mean, there are others, but why would you go to anybody else?
Because life luck is the leader in identity theft protection.
The number's 800-440-4833.
And you can save 10% off their already ridiculously low price just by using the promo code Rush.
LifeLock, they have the best identity alert system there is.
800 440 4833, Lifelock offer code Rush.
Hey, I got an idea, folks.
Let's go to Hiroshima Nagasaki and let's build giant monuments in the shape of nuclear bombs.
And call it the Manhattan Project.
I mean, you'd have Americans objecting to that, wouldn't you?
Robert Gibbs today, at the White House press briefing, was asked the White House position on the mosque at ground zero.
You know what he said?
He basically said it's in the hands of the local authorities.
The local authorities.
Which reminds me, have not we been told for years by the Democrats, the rest of the left for years that international terrorism's a local police issue.
That we don't really need to deal with it like the Bush administration.
We need to deal with it legally, local police issue.
And now we're told that illegal immigration is not a local issue.
Illegal immigration in Arizona is not a state issue, it's a federal issue.
Only the federal government can handle it.
But a mosque at ground zero.
That's uh something for the local authorities.
Uh worry about, uh, Gibbs said.
Don't bother me here at the White House.
We got more important things to do than worry about that.
Like coordinating the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial near the mosque.
When it's built.
This regime, uh, ladies and gentlemen, seems to be very highly selective in deciding what matters should be left to the local authorities versus those that should be directly controlled by the regime.
Local authorities.
Does that not sound Orwellian?
Local authorities.
I remember there was a town hall meeting back in the Clinton years.
Clinton was gonna go somewhere in Ohio Sea, and it was covering it.
And the people were not happy.
I don't remember what it was about.
And uh, what was his name, Bernard Shaw?
Bernard Shaw was the anchor, and they went on the air before Clinton and the administration, Madeline Walbright, somebody came out there.
And the people were just going raucous, and Bernard Shaw's wait for the officials!
Wait for the officials as though the final ultimate word was got from the officials, meaning the administration.
Wait for the officials before you get mad.
Wait for the authorities.
The authorities are at checkpoints at the Berlin Wall.
The authorities.
We have time to squeeze in a call here.
I don't think so.
I'm looking at the list here, and I don't see anybody that's only worth less than one minute.
So those of you on hold will get to more phone calls in the ensuing hour as soon as we get into it.
In the meantime, Washington Post, save the date, America.
Democrats in Austin, Texas, throwing a Hawaiian-style luau tomorrow, complete with delicious tropical fruit, desserts and side dishes.
There's a presidential pot luck in Phoenix.
49 candles for America Party in Des Moines.
And a yes we cake celebration in Evanston.
Tomorrow is the one's birthday.
The one is 49.
In need of an enthusiasm transfusion, the president's partisan political operatives are staging a nationwide birthday extravaganza for the president.
Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm.
Donate some of your unemployment compensation money to the Obama birthday party.
They say tomorrow's his birthday, but we really haven't seen any proof of that.
This is the average white band in the bumper music rotation here.
I got an idea.
For those of you in Arizona, I have an idea to solve the immigration problem.
Just build a wall.
Start building a wall along the border and call it a mosque.
Call it and by the way, you can say, look at Arizona's not being attacked.
