Time Text
I saw that.
For media junkies, it's kind of interesting.
Howard Kurtz is out at the Washington Post.
That's right.
Howard Kurtz is out at the Washington Post.
He's going to the New Beast, Daily Beast, Tina Brown's website, The Daily Beast.
He said, I read what Howard Kurtz said.
He's always wanted to work for Tina Brown.
Always.
He said forever.
Well, then he changed it.
But he said he wants to work for Tina Brown.
He's still going to have his CNN show.
So look at it.
It doesn't surprise me.
Newspapers are not where it's at, even their websites.
But there could be more to it than meets the eye.
Who knows?
Great to have you back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
3M Company confirmed it would eventually stop offering its health insurance plan to retirees, citing Obamacare as a factor.
The changes will not start to phase in until 2013, but they show how companies are beginning to respond to Obamacare, which should make it easier for people in their 50s and early 60s to find affordable prices on their own.
How the hell is that?
Would somebody explain to me how companies are getting out of it is going to make it easier for people in their 50s and early 60s to find affordable policies on their own?
Who the hell wrote this?
It's a Wall Street Journal.
While thousands of employers are tapping new funds from the law to keep retiree plans, 3M illustrates that others may not opt to retain such plans over the next few years.
Yeah.
And this is supposedly going to make it easier for 50 and 60 year old people to get affordable policies.
The St. Paul, Minnesota Manufacturing Conglomerate notified employees last Friday that it would change retiree benefits both for those who are too young to qualify for Medicare and for those who qualify for Medicare.
Both groups will get an unspecified health reimbursement instead of having access to a company-sponsored health plan.
So in other words, as always, it's up to me to translate.
In other words, 3M has decided they will no longer be able to afford to provide health insurance under Obamacare.
And so instead, they're going to give their employees money towards setting up a health savings account.
The maker of Post-It Notes and Scotch tape said that it made the announcement now to give retirees a chance to explore different options during this year's benefit enrollment period, according to a 3M memo reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.
3M's trying to make all this sound like it's a good thing for their employees.
And here's the L.A. Times story.
We talked about this earlier.
California officials cutting off the use of state-issued welfare debit cards at casinos across the country and on cruise ships in the wake of Times reports that the aid cards have been used to spend or withdraw millions of dollars in benefits at popular vacation spots, including the Vegas Strip and on ships sailing from ports around the world.
The department instructed the vendor that administers the debit card program to make the changes yesterday afternoon in response to a report in the L.A. Times Monday edition.
Now, the L.A. Times, let's be honest here, to me, commended for their great work on this story, as well as their dogged investigation of corruption in the city of Bell and other locales.
This is what it must be like to have a real watchdog media.
How long has it been since we've had stories like this?
We're examining corruption in government.
You know, when the Democrats run the show, there's never any corruption.
Still, to me, it is appalling that such obvious malfeasance was ever allowed to happen in the first place.
And who knows for how many years this has been going on?
Welfare debit cards, Vegas casinos, and on cruise ships.
Fascinating.
Audio soundbite time.
Let's go back.
Number four, Barney Frank.
We played the soundbite earlier where he said last night that I launched a vicious homophobic attack.
We honestly cannot think of when we did that because we didn't do that.
But last night on MSNBC's The Last Word, Barney Frank continues about the financial crisis and the Republican Party.
They are blaming us, me as chairman of the committee, for their own errors.
The Republicans were the ones who, for example, resisted any effort to curtail predatory lending.
We started in 2004, Democrats on the committee that I serve on, to get legislation adopted to stop predatory loans.
The Republicans said we were interfering with the market.
Now they're blaming us for the loans that we tried to stop.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
That's one of the ones that they've thrown at me.
The Republicans controlled the Congress from 1995 to 2006, did nothing.
The House tried to do it and couldn't get it done.
Now, this is just, this is absurd.
So I guess now it's not homophobia that's doing him in.
It's these rascally Republicans who are out there accusing him of being to blame for the subprime mortgage business.
Yeah, the Republicans controlled the House in 2006, 1995 to 2006, and the Democrats cowed them at every turn, practically, particularly as they got closer and closer to 2006.
I remember seeing the regulators that were brought in to testify about what was wrong at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, what was wrong with the subprime crisis, what was going to happen, where it was leading to, and the Democrats, Maxine Waters and Barney Frank, lashing out at these regulators and demanding that they shut up.
It was pure intimidation.
The Republicans did try to stop it.
They just have the guts to keep going after the Democrats got their hackles up on it.
Let's go back September 10, 2003 in Washington.
This is on Capitol Hill during a House Financial Services Committee hearing into the oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Barney Frank, this is what he said.
I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis.
That is, in my view, the two government-sponsored enterprises we talk about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis.
I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.
The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate a threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the Treasury, which I do not see.
I think we see entities that are fundamentally sound financially and withstand some of the disaster scenarios.
And even if there were a problem, the federal government doesn't bail them out.
But the more pressure there is there, then the less I think we see in terms of affordable housing.
Well, that's genuine mumbo-jumbo.
I mean, that's genuine mumbling.
And right there, here's Barney last night saying, they're blaming us.
They're blaming us for the problems of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
But it was the Republicans who caused the problems.
The Republicans get rid of Congress for all those jewels.
It was the Republicans.
And now back from 2003, Barney, there weren't any problems.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were hunky-dory.
Everything was just fine.
Wasn't any kind of crisis.
To say so is to speak against affordable housing.
To say that there's problem with subprimes, to say there's problem with Fannie Man, Freddie Mac, was to say there's a problem with affordable housing.
Mr Inconsistent here last night, Republicans, they were the ones that were blaming me when there was a fault.
They were the ones that are in charge and we couldn't stop it.
We tried to stop it now.
In 2003, there wasn't anything wrong.
In 2006, there wasn't anything wrong.
No, no, no, everything was hunky-dory.
And if you stood against any of this, you were against affordable housing.
Barney Frank, let's go back to 1998.
If you want to get to the root of all this, this is the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary Andrew the Como, held a press conference about discrimination in public housing.
Discrimination isn't always that obvious.
It's sometimes more subtle, but in many ways more insidious.
An institutionalized discrimination that's hidden behind a smiling face.
Housing agents who say, well, there are no vacancies right now.
That you just didn't qualify for the mortgage because your financial credit history wasn't good enough.
About 15,000 families, we estimate, will get mortgages who would not have gotten mortgages otherwise.
But aggressively to take a greater risk on these mortgages, yes.
To give families mortgages who they would not have given otherwise, yes.
All right, so here's Andrew DeCuomo running HUD, running the program for Clinton.
This is the subprime mortgage crisis, the subprime mortgage policy that he's talking about.
We should point out for Barney Frank, Andrew DeComo actually did run a homophobic campaign for his dad against Ed Koch.
But that's another story.
Here you have Andrew Cuomo explaining how it's going to work.
We're going to put people in mortgages that couldn't afford mortgages otherwise.
It's affordable housing.
We're going to be fair about it.
April 3rd, 1998, Department of Housing and Urban Development, question and answer.
Reporters said to Andrew DeComo, minorities are represented in that low and moderate income group.
Is that what you're saying?
It is by income and is it also by minorities?
Yes.
With the 2.1 billion lending that amount in mortgages, which will be a higher risk, and I'm sure there'll be a higher default rate on those mortgages than on the rest of the portfolio.
That is the remedy that we sought and the remedy that I would prefer, 15,000 families.
This is of a scope so beyond anything that we've really done in the past.
Yeah, so he's admitting that they're high risk.
He's admitting there's going to be defaults.
He's admitting this thing is full of holes.
But we got it by a scope we've never done in the past.
Well, we have to do it anyway.
Because it's affordable housing.
It's affordable housing.
In other words, in other words, it simply isn't fair to say that just because you can't afford a house, you shouldn't own one.
I mean, what's fair about that?
It's not fair.
You should be able to own a house, even if you can't afford it.
Because other people who can't afford it own a house.
It's not fair that you can't.
And so we, Bill Clinton, Democrats, Barney Frank, Andrew DeComo, and everybody else, we're going to see to it.
We're going to pressure the banks to make these loans to these mortgages.
And this is just the first 15,000 families.
If it had been held at 15,000 families, we wouldn't be in the trouble we're in now.
We wouldn't have the crisis.
But it ballooned way beyond 15,000 families.
Tellers at First Citizens Bank, College Street, in Lacey, Washington, call the cops on Wednesday last week after a guy tried to cash a stolen $470 check.
This prompted an investigation, led to a car trunk full of stolen mail belonging to 214 identity theft victims.
One guy and a companion, Joshua Lomsdale, 24 years old, his companion, Pepper June Johnston, 28, both of Olympia, Washington, were arrested on suspicion of 214 counts of identity theft, three counts of forgery, according to court paper.
There's a story like this every day.
And it's not just one person losing their identity.
It's the possibility of hundreds, including thousands.
Not long ago, there was this story, Ben Bernanke, the head haunch of the Federal Reserve, had his identity stolen.
It wouldn't have happened if he were a Life Lock member.
Won't happen to you if you're a Life Lock member because they have the best identity alert system there is.
They'll take all the information they need to keep your identity safe, but they won't sell it to anybody.
Some of their competitors do.
Really, it doesn't cost hardly anything.
It's a great investment, peace of mind, knowing that all this identity, and it's ramped up in bad economic times like this.
To be confident it's not going to happen to you, it's worth it.
Call 800-440-4833.
Use the offer code RUSH, and you'll save even more off the already ridiculously low price at Lifelock.
800-440-4833 offer code RUSH.
Yes, I wanted to hear it again.
The happy organ, Dave Baby Cortez, 1958, I believe.
Might have been 1960, whatever.
I am seven, eight, nine years old.
Bow, bow, doom, doom.
And I am listening to KXOK St. Louis from Radio Park and say, List 6.30 on the dial, wanting to be on the radio playing the song.
When I was seven years old, eight, nine years old, that is why this song is in the bumper rotation.
Did I ever do DJ views at parties?
No, never, never, never did that.
Never wanted to do that.
I wanted to DJ on the radio, not at the parties.
No, no, no, no.
That wasn't even invented yet anyway.
I mean, DJing at parties.
Who wanted to work at parties?
I did do the announcements at school once.
Yeah, I did the homeroom announcements I did once.
I did one.
No, I didn't do skating rings.
No, no, no.
But I just, I remember that's, I wanted to be on the radio playing that song.
It's seven years old, folks.
I mean, that's seven or eight, nine, whatever it was, whatever year that song was.
I knew then that's what I wanted to do.
Fritz Mondoll.
How old is Mondo now?
He's in his 80s.
Fritz Mondahl, who was Jimmy Carter's Veep, and then Reagan shellacked him in 1980 when he ran for president on it.
Was it 84?
Yeah, Mondo was 84.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 84.
Mondo, yeah, Mondo promised to raise everybody's taxes, thinking that's what everybody wanted.
And Reagan's commercials are mourning in America.
And Mondo's, I'm going to raise your taxes.
He will too.
He just won't tell you.
Well, that was Eleanor Mondole, who Mondale, her name was, she's not dull, Eleanor Mondale.
Monica Lewinsky, they get jealous of her, but Monica Lewinsky saw her going into the West Wing one day when Monica was supposed to be there to visit Clinton.
Yeah.
Anyway, here's Mondahl.
He was on CNN last night's Situation Room.
Wolf Blitzer said, you know, Obama's not feeling people's pain the way Clinton was capable of feeling pain.
Why is that?
Why do you think Obama's not capable so far of really doing that?
I think some of these backyard events are terrific, but I think he's very bright, matter of fact, brilliant, and I think he tends to, and he uses these idiot boards to read speeches in television.
And I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters.
You're talking about the teleprompters that he always has when he's delivering a formal speech.
You don't think that works.
Is that what you're saying?
If you're looking at the teleprompter, you're here, you're here, you're here, and your audience is right there.
And I think he needs to do more of that.
It's even worse than Mondo knows.
Obama takes that prompter out whenever, even when there's not television, he takes it to meetings.
Obama takes the idiot boards to meetings.
That's what in Mondahl's era, that's what they called the teleprompter, idiot boards.
That's what they thought of them back then.
Here's what I said, May 21st, 2008, right here on this show.
It's going to be Jimmy Carter's second term.
They don't care about ruining the country.
We're running against people who want doom and gloom to happen.
May 21st, 2008.
I said that.
Let's go back June 20, 1979.
Washington on the roof of the east wing of the White House during a ceremony to dedicate newly installed solar panels on the White House.
Jimmy Carter.
We must work together to turn our vision and our dream into a solar reality.
By the end of this century, I want our nation to derive 20% of all the energy we use from the sun.
Direct solar energy and radiation and also renewable forms of energy derived more indirectly from the sun.
I'm proposing a coordinated government-wide effort using all the tools at our disposal to spend more than $1 billion in fiscal year 1980 to stimulate solar and other renewable forms of energy.
Jimmy Carter, June 20th, 1979.
Barack Obama, June or last Saturday.
Last Saturday, Barack Obama, number 12, Mike.
Last Saturday, Barack Obama on the White House YouTube channel.
For decades, we've talked about the importance of ending our dependence on foreign oil and pursuing new kinds of energy like wind and solar power.
But for just as long, progress had been prevented at every turn by the special interests and their allies in Washington.
My administration has made a historic commitment to promote clean energy technology.
This will mean hundreds of thousands of new American jobs by 2012.
Jobs for contractors to install energy-saving windows and insulation.
Jobs for factory workers to build high-tech vehicle batteries, electric cars, and hybrid trucks.
Jobs for engineers and construction crews to create wind farms and solar plants that are going to double the renewable energy we can generate in this country.
These are the jobs building the future.
Second term of Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter, 1979, on the roof of the White House.
Here are my solar panels.
And last Saturday, Obama, the White House YouTube channel, talking about solar panels on the White House, solar panels on his house in Chicago, renewable energy.
We spent a billion dollars in 1980.
We're going to spend how many gazillions of dollars now, and are we anywhere near the thing?
Nope.
Second term of Jimmy Carter.
Only worse.
Serving humanity simply by showing up, having more fun.
And a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
Back to your phones here in just a second.
This morning on the syndicated TV show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The host Meredith Vieira and a contestant and a question.
The odd couple, your category.
In June 2010, Elton John shocked supporters by performing at What Conservative Pundits Wedding?
Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck.
It's a big story, actually.
Oh, yeah, it was a big story.
And he got a lot of flack for this.
Let's see.
Is it Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly?
I know it's not Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck.
Those are definitely not the ones, and it's...
We have two lifelines left, if you feel you need them.
No, I'm going to go with Rush Limbaugh B. Final Answer.
You got to be careful, audience, to jump on that one because it might not be right.
It's right.
You got it right.
You got it right.
It is Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh and the Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
What, Snirdly?
What's that look on your face?
You're just stunned.
It still bothers them, right?
It still bothers them.
They still can't figure it out.
Pat, somewhere, parts unknown, Indiana.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Thank you so much, great one.
You bet.
Thank you.
We were talking earlier about the ignorance of the Democrats, and I just wanted to give you a little first-hand knowledge from me.
I'm a poll worker here in Indiana, and we have probably the simplest ballot that could be used.
You simply fill in the arrow, the little blank space in the middle for the candidate that you choose to vote for.
Yeah.
About 10 to 1 on spoiled ballots or dumb questions, it's Democrats always.
Yeah, we had the same thing happen here in Florida in 2000.
Here in Palm Beach County, in fact.
You might remember the old butterfly ballot and hanging Chad's.
Right.
Nothing could have been simpler.
And in this case, the Democrats designed the ballot.
I mean, it was, they send the ballots out to everybody.
You're supposed to look at them.
It's simple as pie.
And these people ended up...
The instructions printed all the way across the top of the ballot also.
Well, that doesn't help if people can't read.
And if they come from the public education system, the odds are the reading skills may be deficient.
That's why they did the butterfly ballot here.
You don't have to read somebody's name.
There's just a hole that you punch.
It's just a hole.
It's like something that happens here in Palm Beach County every night.
You just stab it.
You know, right where you want to stab it, you stab it there.
You make sure you stab it all the way through.
And these people in Palm Beach County, thinking they were voting for Gore, claimed they voted for Pat Buchanan.
Now, there's no way.
Even Buchanan had to come out and say, look, I have to tell you, I know who these voters are.
And if they're voting for me, I know they don't mean it.
What she's talking about, earlier on in the program, we played Christine O'Donnell's TV, the audio from it, and I expressed an opinion about it.
And many people disagreed with me on the basis, you don't know how stupid voters in Delaware are.
Democrat voters.
I mean, she's going to need Democrat votes.
You don't know how stupid they are.
She's got to play to them.
So people have been writing me and calling me to say, yeah, Rush, you really, I mean, you think you know, but you don't know how stupid the voters are.
You know the elected Democrats, but you do not know how stupid they are.
And so now we got a confirmation they're dumb.
The Democrats Indiana are as dumb as the Democrats in Delaware.
Chris, speaking of the devil, Wilmington, Delaware, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Yeah, you mentioned that Chris Coons might be bringing Al Franken to Delaware to campaign for.
Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
That's a that's, I mean, is that fruit?
It sounds like a joke.
I just had to laugh.
Well, I think it argues for the stupidity again of the Democrat voters.
Yeah, well, there's plenty of them here in Delaware.
Why not bring Joe Biden in?
You know, the vice president.
Why not?
If you're Coons, why not bring Biden in to campaign for you?
Well, that just shows you.
Why do you have to go scour the bottom of the Senate pot and come up with Al Franken when you've got your favorite son, Joe Biden?
I wouldn't.
It's a mystery.
It really is.
Stop and think of that, folks.
That is a real, real.
You got the vice president who lives there, and of all the people in the Senate, you want to come in and help you?
You go get Stuart Smalley.
Alex, parts unknown, somewhere in New Jersey.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Rush, thanks for my call.
Yeah.
I think he's talking about contractors and small businesses.
I'm a contractor here in New Jersey.
And I firmly believe that Obama's laughing because everybody keeps calling and saying how hard it is for us.
And we are struggling.
And I don't think he cares.
And I think he's honestly laughing with the drive-by media listening and watching every breath and word you take.
They see it, and they're laughing at us.
And this is what he wants.
He wants us to suffer.
And I believe it's happening.
That would follow if he's doing all this on purpose.
If he's doing this on purpose, he would have to be unaffected by the suffering.
He would have to think you deserve it.
Yes, and I think he believes that we do deserve it.
I do too.
I do too.
I think he believes you're wealthy, whatever you are, because you've stolen it from minorities and the oppressed.
You've come by it in ill-gotten ways.
And it's about time you paid the price.
Well, yes, that's what he believes.
But, you know, my parents always told me, you know, become your own boss.
Strive.
Take the risk.
Be your own business owner.
And I have, and I am suffering beyond belief.
Yeah, because you become a target.
Look, you're an entrepreneur.
You're an entrepreneur and you are successful.
And that makes you a target of today's Democrat Party.
This is very true.
You don't need it.
I do have a small other problem.
I'm actually married to a school teacher.
And this is probably a bigger problem being self-employed.
Is my wife will not allow me to go to any functions.
I can't go to a Christmas party, a Halloween party, because all her teacher friends are there.
And I am a very big conservative.
And she's afraid that I'm going to say something wrong, which is a major problem.
And she fears for a daughter.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, welcome to marriage.
I mean, this is nothing new.
Wives are constantly afraid of what their husbands are going to say and do sometimes.
Don't take that personally.
I'll try not to.
I'm really not.
I'm really not.
And when my wife now is supporting me as a union employee, it's disheartening to me at that point.
It really is.
If she's supporting you, don't play by her rules right now.
I am.
Unfortunately, I am.
Would you want to go hang around a bunch of teachers at a convention anyway?
I don't.
You know, it's a party, family party, but it's so hard.
They're somewhat friends, but we all have to party.
We are getting, we're falling party.
You know, their liberal ways are not my ways anymore.
And my wife's slowly changing, you know, towards a conservative way.
She's suffering.
She understands.
Yeah, but you know, it's look at this is this is written.
It's written in a contract.
Wives are always scared to death.
Their husbands are going to embarrass them with their mouths.
It just, it's, I mean, that's that's that's Adam and Eve.
Yeah, that's what MLA.
It's just, it's, it's just the way it is.
Uh, she wouldn't be afraid.
Anyway, she, she could, she could take one of your friends.
She wouldn't care what your friend said.
If your friend, if she took your friend, let's say you were busy, she took your friend, and you insulted her friend, that'd be fine, actually.
If you do it, you're Irish.
You're right.
It's kind of like, you know, the old line.
Dog.
Dog ran away from home, gone for 12 hours.
Don't know where it went.
Oh my gosh, is the dog ever going to come back?
Finally, the dog comes back.
My wife says, Oh, are you okay?
Are you okay?
You hungry?
Can anybody hurt you?
Come here, let me hold you.
You try being gone from home for 12 hours and see what happens.
USOB, where have you been?
Why didn't you tell me?
But see, it's in the contract out there.
I told him I was getting to call you before.
He wouldn't.
He's 18 years trying, and I've been trying for two.
So, Dad, in Princeton, I love you, and I won.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you guys.
Glad you called.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
I didn't say anything.
Hi, welcome back, Rushland.
I've been listening to Happy Oreg here during the commercial breaks.
Now, that's nostalgia.
I'm thinking, here I am, 59 years old.
I'm thinking of seven or eight years old, listening to that song, wanting to be the guy playing it on the radio.
And here, look at me.
I am.
It's a guy on the radio playing the song.
Great to have you back.
El Rushbo, serving humanity.
How?
Easy, simply by being here, documented to be almost always right.
99.6% of the time away from home.
Here is Bill in Los Olsos, California.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello, sir.
Hey, this is definitely an honor.
You bet.
I understand that.
Thank you.
Well, I realize that.
And I'm here on the left coast.
I'm near Morrow Bay between San Luis Obispo and Morrow Bay.
But my question to you is: the stimulus package.
Yes.
That Obama said was going to put people to work.
Yes.
Was that true?
That's what he said.
That's what he said.
In fact, some people just lost their stimulus jobs yesterday.
Okay.
That was my question because I'm thinking, how can the government take money and create jobs?
They can't.
The government does not create jobs.
The government doesn't create wealth.
They can only confiscate wealth.
They cannot and do not create wealth.
That's exactly what I was getting at.
I was wondering, because I figured out if they just gave the money out, the 800 million or whatever it was, was that right?
The stimulus factor.
Well, it's closer to a trillion, but they had to take it first before they had it.
But they don't have it.
They didn't have it.
They borrowed it, printed it, or what have you.
They took it and then they distributed it, but it went to unions and teachers and state governments.
It didn't, I mean...
Create jobs.
No.
Well, there's no way it could have.
Exactly.
That's what I was thinking.
I'm just going to just give the money out, and that'd be 20,000 jobs at 40,000 a year.
Yeah, but there would be no jobs.
It would be welfare.
That's true.
It did not, it doesn't, didn't create jobs.
Not possible.
Your instincts are out on the money.
The stimulus package was patronage.
It was a slush fund.
Pure and simple.
That's all it was.
Joy in Tampa.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hive.
Thanks, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I just was calling to my husband and our real faithful listeners, and we think you're great, but today we got upset when you called Obama a jackass.
We feel that you insulted the jackass.
He's been a very trustworthy and hardworking animal.
They do.
I mean, you're right.
They carry a big burden.
And probably have a higher IQ.
You got me.
I mean, I have to agree.
You're right.
It was an insult to jackasses.
It's also the symbol of the Democrat Party since back before the Civil War.
The jackass, the donkey, the mule.
Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, and it's a jackass is different from a donkey is different from a mule.
I think the donkey is different than a mule.
A jackass might be either one.
Not sure.
No, I didn't learn that in school in Missouri.
Okay, a mule is the offspring of a male donkey.
That's what it is.
And the burrow, see, they're different.
It's like the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.
It's a difference between a porpoise and a dolphin.
You know, they are different.
I just don't know which, but there's like, look at all the different kinds of cats there are, all the different kinds of felines.
And zebra.
It's in the mule family, not the horse family.
And no, I didn't learn this at school.
No, no, my dad told me all about this as he was explaining Democrats to me.
All right, here we go.
This is it.
Looked it up in the break.
The donkey or the ass is a domesticated member of the horse family.
He is a member of the horse family.
I was wrong about that.
The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass.
Now, a male donkey or ass is called a jack.
A female is called a jenny.
So Ms. Pelosi would be a jenny ass.
And Harry Reid would be a jackass.
I don't know what Barney Frank would be, but we a Jenny Jackass.
Regardless, you know, we create these questions, and I like to answer all this stuff before the program ends so that nobody goes away with questions unanswered.
We'll see you tomorrow, folks.
