Time Text
Not only is Obama running around touting the economy, uh, ladies and gentlemen, but the politico is reporting that Pelosi took a shot at Bush, as well as Obama taking a shot at Bush.
Pelosi said that the 71,000 private sector jobs added to the economy in July is a sharp turnaround from the 700,000 jobs per month lost under President Bush.
That's how they're trying to, of course, and the politico going right along with it.
There weren't 700,000 jobs lost a month during Bush.
Bush gained jobs.
The 700,000 jobs lost per month started, by the way, with Obama's election.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
One exciting hour to go.
And the telephone number is 800-282-288-2.
The email address L Rushball at EIVNet.com.
Oh, yeah, things are really hot out there.
They're really great.
Obama's touting his recovery.
We're on life support.
Pelosi, 71,000 jobs gained.
She doesn't talk about the 131,000 lost.
There weren't 71,000 jobs gained anyway.
But they're out there trying to spin the.
Meanwhile, 20 states, what is it, 20 states are suing the federal government to repeal health care or to exempt themselves from it.
If Obama wants to go ahead and try to portray this as hunky dory and a panacea, by all means, let them continue to do so.
I got an email.
Rush, do you remember when you uh went to the White House for your birthday a couple years ago and Bush hosted you?
You ought to tell that story.
It's in contrast to um uh Michelle my Bell, Antoinette Obama flying over to Spain, 60 rooms in a five-star hotel paid for by all of us, 40 of her friends, Obama with all the parties in the White House, all the Kobe beef, while everybody else is tightening their belts, the Obamas are living large because they think it's owed them.
Like Marion Barry said once at the Democrat convention 1984 when he was mayor of Washington, San Francisco making a speech.
Tonight, tonight we're on the inside.
So the Obama's, yeah, Michelle my Bell Obama.
She's the first time she was ever proud of her country.
Her whole life was when her husband was running for president.
So now they're in there and they're taking what they can get.
It's owed them.
The story is this.
This was Tuesday, January 12th, that was my birthday.
This is the week before Obama was to be immaculated.
And the president had me up for a uh one of his farewell lunches.
It was in the dining room off the Oval Office.
They had called the day before, a couple days before, asking for my menu selections.
Well, okay, well, here's uh whatever you want, Mr. Limbaugh.
So I listed off uh a couple things.
Three things.
So we show up, have a little conversation in the Oval Office.
It's uh the president Ed Gillespie and me.
We move into the dining room, and the the stewards come out and start taking everybody's orders.
And I said, Well, I thought I did this three days ago.
So he started bringing things that we had not ordered, in addition to what I had ordered, it looked like I was King Henry the eighth there.
I mean, there was food upon food upon food in front of me.
The president tells the steward, I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and make it grape.
I don't want it at red stuff.
The hated and reviled and the out-of-touch George W. Bush ordered a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
And make sure it's grape.
I don't want any of that red stuff.
And meanwhile, here we have the Obamas doing their impersonation of King Louis the Fauteenth and Marie Amtronette.
Well, I took a tour of Versailles once at the Palace of Versailles, and the tour guide spoke broken English.
And I found out that in French they can't Say four.
It's it's it's not in the so Louis XIV was Louis the Fauteenth.
Louis the Fauteenth.
Anyway, the Obamas are up doing this French Revolution business, uh living living large and so forth.
There's Bush eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Grape.
Don't bring me any of the red stuff.
And then when it was all over, they brought a birthday cake out.
It was actually wasn't a cake, it was a chocolate microphone.
It was the EIB microphone in the shape of chocolate in the shape of a microphone.
And he and Gillespie are singing happy birthday to me.
And the White House stewards are uh are singing Happy Birthday.
It was a microphone.
It was a it was a chocolate microphone, snurtly.
It was a model of the golden EIB microphone.
It was not a cake, it was chocolate.
And yes, it was a microphone.
It had the microphone boom and uh and everything.
And they brought the guy out who had made it, the chef, pastry chef brought him out, said uh said hello.
But it's a good guy remembered this because it is a good contrast over the way the supposed man of the people, Democrats, uh, Obama and so forth.
I mean, these guys have an aristocracy going on.
The Obamas are doing an aristocracy.
Yet, Don, I know what he's trying to sucker me into doing, and I'm not going there.
I'm not, I'm not I'm not it was a microphone, it was a six or seven-inch chocolate microphone.
It's a big well, maybe eight, eight or nine, whatever this microphone is.
And I've got pictures of it, too.
We have pictures of it, and they sent a picture of it.
I've got it, is it here or do I have it somewhere at home?
I think it's at home.
I've got it framed at home in my uh in my in my library.
It's really uh I was I was floored, I was flabbergasted.
I didn't even know it was my birthday.
I didn't know that they knew it was my birthday.
I mean, when they when they invited me up there, I did, oh yeah, I'd love to come.
By the way, do you know Ed?
It's my birthday hint, hint.
I don't do that.
But I guess at the White House they know everything.
Patriot Act.
Remember, Bush was spying on everybody, intercepting our phone calls.
Remember that.
Obama spying on emails.
I know.
It's uh fascinating to watch.
We had there was a rumor earlier in the week.
Oh, oh, by the way, speaking of before I get the rumors, let me get the fact.
Um wedding pictures looks like Tuesday or Wednesday.
We're gonna be posted on Facebook.
We're gonna yes.
I'm gonna have a Facebook page.
We're not gonna let anybody write on the wall.
No, no post.
We're gonna do it, yes, we're going Facebook.
That's where we're gonna do the face.
Facebook has finally um, it's gotten to the point they've evolved where they meet our standards.
Uh prior to now it has not made sense for us to uh to have a Facebook page, but recent advances that they've made uh have uh made it sensible now for us to have a Facebook page.
So we're going to we'll put the initial uh run of wedding pictures, and I think it's 10 or 12, maybe 17, I'm not sure how many uh that we're putting up.
And we've got some surprises uh to go along with the inauguration of our Facebook page.
That'll be either Tuesday of next week or Wednesday.
As you know, I'm not gonna be here Monday.
I've got a late night on the left coast on Sunday, so Carl Rove will be here doing the program, his first ever radio talk show.
And of course, the state control media is beside itself.
They're just worried as they can be.
They're in panic, because they know that this will be the most power Rove has had since he left the White House.
In fact, it'll be pretty much commensurate with the power that he had while he was in the White House.
Now, this rumor, there was a rumor out there that Obama in August was going to forgive every mortgage that's underwater.
Have Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac just forgive every mortgage, and this is going to be done as an October or August surprise to secure votes.
What better way to get people voting for you than to bail out their mortgage and make them whole and get rid of the principal and and and just bail them out?
So the Washington, I'm sorry, the Wall Street Journal today has uh an editorial suggesting why Obama will not do this.
They hope he does it.
They hope the rumor's true, but they don't think it is.
The journal says, you know, people are making jokes about the United States turning into Argentinaville, and a gap or gambit like this would push us close.
The Treasury Department yesterday tossed cold water on the story.
The administration is not considering a change in policy in this area.
Now, what's striking is that the notion got this much elevation in the first place.
Serious mortgage analysts on Wall Street have been discussing it in postings all this week with input not only from Morgan Stanley, but from Credit Suisse.
Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, UBS, and even FTN Financial.
You don't see this sort of firepower deployed unless the big boys think something real is afoot.
Why would they think that?
They would think that only if this administration had created an atmosphere in which such notions could fester.
And they have bailouts.
This administration has created an atmosphere in which bailouts fester.
The argument behind the free stimulus is that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration own or back about 37 million loans.
And so the government already owns the risks.
It wouldn't be any big deal to forgive them.
They already own these mortgages, which are already underwater, which are already valueless.
So why wouldn't they go ahead and just forgive them?
If the mortgage agencies effectively forgive some of that debt, voila, the indebted homeowners have much more cash to spend.
It's an economic stimulus, and Obama and the Democrats get all kinds of credit because they have made homeownership now universal.
The journal cautions set to one side that this would trash much of the discipline that has returned to banking, and set aside the suggestion under current stimulus theory that requires uh contributors to the financial crisis to honor some of their debt obligations being less important than the hope that they will spend an alternative windfall on consumer items.
A backdoor stimulus via Fanny and Freddie.
This is this is the journal's opinion.
A backdoor stimulus, meaning forgiving every mortgage that's underwater.
Just telling those people, you know what?
You own your house now.
No more monthly payments.
You own it.
We're retiring the principal.
There'd be a couple interest payments here and there, but pretty much are free and clear.
The journal says that if they did that, it would result in every Republican and almost every independent camping out for a week prior to election day to show up and vote.
The journal thinks, the journal thinks, the editorial people at Wall Street Journal think that if the administration did this, then it would be the end of them.
Because the country's tired of bailouts.
The country is simply fed up with bailouts.
And however many mortgages we're talking about here being underwater, who would uh who would which would be bailed out, the number of people who would not be bailed out, the number of people who have been paying on their mortgage would simply be overwhelming.
And the sentiment and outrage would be unstoppable.
I guess the journal's theory is the American people are fed up with bailouts.
They don't want anymore.
We don't have the money to bail anybody out.
We've already put people in homes and had no business being in homes in terms of being able to pay for it.
We have already bankrupted ourselves, lending money to people that can't never were going to have the ability to pay it back.
And now, after all of this, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, i.e., Obama forgive all these loans.
Reason enough for the Obama administration to assure the world that it's not going to happen.
And they did.
They came out yesterday and said, This is not going to happen.
We're not thinking about this.
We're In no way we are going to do this.
So how did this get started?
How in the world did this get started if there's nothing to it?
Because all these banks took it seriously.
The journals write.
All of these bank people were chatting about it.
Ooh, looking for an opportunity here.
Anytime the government's doling out money or forgiving loans, banks, financial people, anybody is going to try to find a way to get their myth on it.
Now one of the popular theories is that some of these interns and staffers in the White House sitting around thinking up ways to jumpstart the economy.
They came up with this idea.
Let's make everybody's house free.
And then maybe some people in the White House like Obama or Valerie Jarrett, maybe Ron Emanuel Hurdits.
You know, that's a good idea.
That might that might work because this is their mode of thinking anyway.
So now the word's out, the rumors out, and the White House, Treasury Department, Little Timmy doing everything they can to put the kabosh on this.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
We will continue after this.
Open line Friday, your phone calls don't go away.
And we are back.
It's open line Friday.
I am L. Rushbow, serving humanity simply by showing up.
To Orlando.
This is Joe.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're up on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you for everything you do.
You appreciate it, sir.
Thank you.
Um I just wanted to make the comment that there is uh a lot of people, my estimate would be that I probably know ten people that are on unemployment, and I'd say six or seven out of ten are doing side jobs, or paying people's houses, or helping people with their docks.
They're doing work everywhere.
They're working two or three days a week and doing unemployment.
They don't want to get off unemployment.
Yeah, we've seen actually anecdotally, we've seen a lot of stories about that.
The people don't they they they're double dipping and they're enjoying it.
Not having to work as hard, government keeps extending unemployment benefits, and all of this, by the way, is fine with Obama.
Well, it's happening.
They're taking jobs away from people that if they weren't getting unemployment, they'd put them back to work.
But the the people that are running construction companies or something, they're uh the people are doing so many side jobs that they're not getting the work.
Well, uh part part of the reason for this is that uh uh employers do not want to take on full-time workers anyway.
That's true.
They want to take on part-timers, that way not to pay any health care benefits.
They figure they're gonna be offloading health care programs anyway once Obamacare kicks in, so why not go the uh temporary worker route?
All of this, though, is exactly what Obama wants.
He wants it.
He wants this chaos, he wants people not earning a lot of money.
He wants people earning two and three jobs, working two and three jobs, he wants uh uh the the whole wealth creation mechanism in this country to be arrested, which he's done a good job of uh uh of getting a start on.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, Joe, thanks much.
Is um Sal in Wallingford, Connecticut, your next.
Great to have you here.
Yeah, hi.
Uh please do me a favor.
If you have to hold me over, I've got something extremely important to tell you.
If you remember right, back in uh the eighties when uh Ronald Reagan was president, uh, Mrs. Reagan changed to China in the White House, and the liberal establishment went wild.
They said that she was a spentrist, and she was this and she was that.
Yet Barack Obama's wife goes to Spain with an entourage of about 40 or 50 people.
I don't know what it is.
Sixty.
Sixty?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
Well, it's 40 rooms.
You know better than I do.
I didn't realize she went with 60.
Sixty people.
Forty rooms.
She goes to a hotel and it costs six thousand dollars a night.
No, no.
Maybe her room does.
The average price is twenty five hundred dollars a night.
Oh, well, I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
Uh uh twenty-five hundred dollars a night.
And you know, I mean, when Mrs. Reagan changed the China, the liberal establishment went wild.
Now the other thing I wanted to talk to, and if you please could hold me over, it's about you.
Get started.
I have people who say to me, you know, Rush makes in the millions of dollars.
And I say to him to say to them, God bless that he makes million millions of dollars.
He is an entrepreneur.
He's a man who hires people.
He's a person who goes ahead and is uh an individual who uh has worked for every penny he's got.
You know that's true.
That's that's very true.
Upset with this administration.
Here people are dying so far as the uh so far as unemployment is concerned, and people go to Spain and twenty five hundred dollars a night.
What's going on with this country?
Um what basically what you're asking is why isn't there any outrage similar to the outrage in the media over Nancy Reagan changing the China?
Why is there no outrage over Michelle My Bell Obama with all these expenditures?
Sixty Secret Service people, by the way, on this trip to Spain.
Uh the answer is patently obvious.
I guess you're also asking why is there so much anger over the fact that I have earned what I have.
It's as simple as conservative versus liberal.
It's uh it's it's it's it's no more complicated than that.
And as far as the media is concerned, Mrs. Obama uh uh deserves this.
Look at the sordid past.
Look at our slave past, look at our discriminatory past.
It's it's only fair that people of color get their taste of the wealth of America too.
That's your answer.
I just can't.
I'm all I almost cannot stomach it.
Uh just in fact, I'm gonna turn it off.
I'm gonna turn on the I'm watching Obama praise Kagan at the White House.
She's gonna be sworn in the Supreme Court, and this is a biggest bunch.
This is a biggest I mean I feel like I'm gonna have an insulin reaction.
So much damn syrup BS here.
Let me change channels.
It's just depressing.
Woman can barely see over the microphone.
Is she four feet tall?
We've got an activist on the we we've got just like this judge in California yesterday.
This is essentially what we have here.
We put a judge like this activist on the uh on the Supreme Court.
Uh want to go to the audio sound bites.
We have uh, ladies and gentlemen, the uh the man, the Imam of the ground zero mosque.
The imam sixty minutes.
Uh did a story, I guess it's gonna air.
Oh no, it did air.
I take it back.
This is September thirtieth of two thousand one.
And this is the the same guy, I think, that's gonna be the the Imam of the Ground Zero Mosque.
Back in September 2001, Ed Bradley interviewed American Society for Muslim Advancement Founder Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf.
And Ed Bradley says, Are you in any way suggesting we in the United States deserve what happens is after 9-11?
The United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.
Because we have been an accessory to a lot of of innocent lives dying in the world.
In fact, it in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.
There you have an Osama bin Laden made in the USA.
This is the grand poo bah of the mosque, I guess.
The Imam Faisal Abdul Raf.
Now let's move forward to June 18th, 2010 in New York City on WABC, our New York Blue Torch affiliate Aaron Klein, interviewed the Imam Faisal Abdul Raf, and he said, Do you agree with the State Department's designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization?
I'm not a politician.
I try to avoid uh the issues of uh the issue of terrorism is a very complex question, and um I'm a bridge builder.
But But I'm I'm asking though is Hamas a terrorist organization.
My work.
My work.
I've defined my work as a bridge builder.
Do not I do not want to be placed, neither will I accept to be placed in a position of being put in a position where I am the target of one side or another.
So they don't want to come condemn Hamas.
Um and law abiding uh Americans, and then the United States policies were an accessory to the crime of 9-11.
That's no different than Jeremiah Wright saying America's chickens have come home to roost.
Now we had a uh we had a caller moments ago upset that the media is giving Michelle My Bell Obama a pass, and they really ripped into Nancy Reagan.
Not true.
Last night the CBS Evening News, here's a montage.
Cheryl Atkison, the investigative reporter on Michelle Obama's trip to Spain.
A posh hotel where rooms normally run from $300 to $6,000 a night.
The first ladies' group is said to occupy 60 rooms.
Curly personal parts will be paid for by Mrs. Obama and friends.
Official portions, the first lady will visit the King and Queen, will be on the taxpayer's dime.
That includes transport on the Air Force version of a 757, 146,000 for the round trip, not counting four to five days ground time, expenses for Mrs. Obama's support staff, and the mandatory Secret Service detail, which could number 70 agents at the $273 a day federal per diem.
That's $95,000 just for Secret Service room and board.
One newspaper called Mrs. Obama Marie Antoinette.
That was the uh New York Daily News.
So at least Cheryl Atkison.
Don't know for how long she'll be at CBS, but she did do a report on Katie Croick's CBS Evening News last night about the uh actual experiences.
Now, Nancy, uh since somebody brings up Nancy Reagan in the and the China, as is the case almost all the time, it's unreported, misunderstood, misreported.
State dinners had become so large by the time of the Reagan presidency that none of the China could accommodate the number of guests that they could put in a state dining room.
So Nancy Reagan, she did.
I mean, she ordered over 4,700 pieces of Lennox China, which was enough place settings of 19 pieces for 220 people, which is what they can squeeze into the uh state dining room.
Now that was nearly twice as many place settings as other recent services that they had.
They just didn't have the number to replace.
See, when she bought American.
Michelle My Bell Obama's over in Spain.
Michelle My Bell Obama is not stimulating the American economy at all.
So we can say here that Nancy Reagan turned to an American company and had them create and sell some White House China.
It probably cost less than one night and all of Michelle's guests in that hotel in Spain.
But because and this should go without saying, but I realize that new tune-in factory and people have these questions, and even though the answers after 22 years may bore me, they still need to be given.
There's a double standard.
And people on the left, first ladies, presidents, what have you.
They can't be racist, they can't be bigots, they can't be extravagant.
They're not guilty of anything.
Everything they're doing is justified and understandable because they are at war with us and we are evil.
They they are a genuine aristocracy.
are no more representatives of the working people of America than anybody else is.
But the double standard exists, and there's nothing that is going to change it.
There are just...
Why do you think it's so easy for me to tweak the media every day?
I mean, I have more fun tweaking the media because I know how they're going to react to something.
All I have to do.
Look at the media's got its templates.
They've got their narratives, and one of the narratives is that they hate the birthers.
They despise people who raise questions about the fact that Obama hasn't been forthcoming About the place of his birth.
They despise those people.
All you have to do, all anybody has to do rev them up is hey, it's President Obama's birthday today to the extent that we know.
That's all it took, and they had a conniption.
They had a commission fit.
See, I know how to tweak these people.
They know I know how to tweak them, and they still allow themselves to be tweaked.
Because the narrative and the template is what's important.
I mean, we just had this Clinton wedding.
Look how it was portrayed.
It was portrayed as uh a camelot kind of wedding.
Was there any problem with the Clintons doing that during these economic times?
No, there wasn't one raised eyebrow.
There wasn't one frown, there wasn't one expression of gee, that seems a little out of time.
No, in fact, Tina Brown of the Daily Beast wrote a big column on why we all needed that wedding.
Why America needed the Chelsea wedding.
Meantime, I got married on June 5th.
Elton John was the performer.
They think they know what it cost.
And for a week, there was genuine victory all and anger over the fact.
There was no speculation of why, only condemnation.
There was no intrigue, there was no interest, there was no support, there was no there were no stories about all of the stimulation in the local economy that took place because of the wedding here.
None of that.
No, no, no.
It was mocked, made fun of.
This is just who they are.
If it's like I say, answering this stuff bores me after 22 years.
Because this is one of the things that isn't going to change as long as the media is made up of the people it's made up of, it's not going to change.
And I the my frustration is that if we have people looking for their own validation in the way media reports, we're for you're forever going to be miserable, and I'm going to be ticked off answering your questions because you are never, we are never going to have the media on our side.
The media is never going to present our side.
The media's never going to represent us properly.
The media is never going to condemn Democrats the way they condemn us.
It isn't going to happen.
And if you're waiting around for that to happen as a sign that things are leveling out or that we're winning, then you're going to perpetually think we're losing, and we're not.
The media are who they are.
The sun comes up, comes up in the east.
It isn't going to change.
Not unless something dramatic happens, but this is it's just this is the level playing field or the playing field that we're on.
We have to deal with it as it is.
So it's totally under spent understandable that Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan, all would be.
I mean, look what they accused Reagan of going over to Lafayette Park and stealing pork and beans from the homeless and going back to the White House and opening the cans and eating it.
And then rubbing his stomach and saying, Boy, these are good.
I'm glad the homeless are starving.
They actually reported that kind of stuff.
So naturally, Michelle Obama in Spain, it's a wonderful thing.
It's a wonderful mother and daughter trip.
It's history in the making.
Why should not the first lady be able to represent America around the world?
She is, after all, our number one ambassador, all this yada yada yada.
Expecting her to get the same kind of scrutiny and reporting that Nancy Reagan would get or a Barbara Bush or Laura Bush.
I mean, isn't some things are just not going to change.
They are what they are.
And we will be back.
Journalism long ago stopped being who, what, when, where, why?
Journalism today is who's the Republican here.
Journalism, who's the conservative here?
That's all journalism is.
Now, the UK press is a different story.
The UK Daily Mail is just one example.
They are ripping Obama to shreds in the UK.
Spanish police closed public beach for Michelle Obama's 250,000 pound Spanish holiday.
That's 375,000.
And it's being paid for by us.
Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering $65,000 a day.
And she's I don't misunderstand.
She's not representing America.
She's going to see the King and Queen, much like a businessman would go have a meeting to deduct a whole trip.
This is just this is a vacation.
You don't take 40 friends with you on an official trip.
She's on vacation, and we're paying for it.
The UK press is all over.
They've got picked this.
This UK Daily Mail Store, you can see it at Drudge.
I just looked, it prints out to 12 pages.
It's huge with all kinds of pictures of the beach that's been cordoned off.
And Michelle's uh caravan of SUVs as she moves around, and pictures of the hotel.
So the UK press.
They're laying it on thick.
And by the way, one thing I need to mention about the Reagan China taxpayers did not pay for it.
The U.S. taxpayers did not pay for the China that Nancy Reagan bought.
It was a gift to the White House Foundation by California friends of the Reagans.
I kid you not.
Was not paid for by the taxpayers.
Okay, so we've had what?
We had headlines and reports on the uh the Senate votes yesterday for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan and the $26 billion bailout for states and government unions.
A lot of news about that.
What you won't hear about, except maybe here, and at the Heritage Foundation's website is two amendments voted down by the Senate last night that would have prevented the largest tax increase in American history.
Senator Dement, Jim DeMint, South Carolina, put two amendments out for a vote, and both went down 58 to 42.
The message is very clear from the current Congress, the administration, you can expect higher taxes and higher deficits for years to come.
Now, all this talk, the Democrats wanting to maybe extend the Bush tax cuts, it's it's all PR.
It's all BS.
There aren't going to be any tax cuts extended.
Because Dement wanted to test it.
Oh, so you want to extend the Bush tax?
Let's put some Democrats on record here.
No way.
Both amendments went down in flames.
Our friends at the Heritage Foundation have the research and the resources you need to stay informed on all of this.
You want to make a difference.
Become a member of the Heritage Foundation.
They produced a great new resource guide.
It's called the Patriots Guide, What You Can Do to Restore Liberty in America.
Charts, videos, books, study guides, a lot more.
People want to know what you can do.
This is one thing.

John in Shreveport, I've got one minute, but I wanted to squeeze you in.
Hello, sir.
Hi, Russ.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh, longtime listeners from Sacramento.
Just wanted you to know that uh my wife and I were or were watching uh Greta Van Sestron last night, and uh thank God for Hillary Clinton, because she's been on a compassionate mission to uh help the people of Pakistan with that flood and everything, and she has been raising money for those people,
and we learned last night uh on that show that she has personally made a contribution of her own money of ten dollars uh to that uh compassionate over there in Pakistan.
You know, I I I had that story yesterday, John.
That uh I've even had audio sound bite of it, and I didn't believe it.
Uh I thought this has to be a joke.
No, nobody's gonna be stupid enough to publicize the fact that they made a donation of ten dollars to a flood relief effort.
But he's right.
She did.
And she's being treated great accolades.
What a big heart.
Mrs. Clinton donated ten dollars to the Pakistan flood relief effort.
Now remember, we had a caller earlier.
What are the Republicans gonna do?
What are they gonna say?
There's nothing in writing.
What are Republicans gonna do?
Here Jim Dement, Heritage Foundation found out.
Jim Dement offered a couple of amendments.
Okay, you Democrats want to talk about extending the Bush tax cuts.
Let's see you vote on it.
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
And it went down.
Media didn't report this.
Point is the Republicans, some of them are doing things.
You just don't hear about it.
Another reason to join Heritage, by the way.
Carl Rove will be here on Monday along with all of the media.
And we'll see you back here on Tuesday, folks.
