Time Text
Right on right on right on back we are Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies Starting a Million Conversations Mind Over Chatter.
Telephone number 800 282882, email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Listen to this.
This is uh from last Thursday on MSNBC Hardball, a Democrat polster Mark Penn was on there with uh with uh what's the hardware Chris Matthews.
And this is what Obama needs to do.
Or this is what needs to happen for Obama.
President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma.
And the president ranks seems removed.
And it wasn't until that speech that he reclicked with the American public.
Obama needs a similar kind of thing.
Well, now, what what was Oklahoma City?
It was a terrorist attack, right?
So here's Mark Penn.
Obama needs something similar to be able to reconnect with the American people.
Now you think this is strange.
Don't forget, after 9-11, people like Mark Penn were running around saying, ah, if only this had happened, if only this chance for greatness had happened when Bill Clinton was in office.
So and this is Hillary's pollster.
Mark Penn is Hillary's polster.
What Obama needs is another terror attack.
I mean, that's that's how you analyze that one.
All right, folks, I uh look it.
I alluded to this, and I gotta do it before I forget it.
By the way, I would say to Mark Penn, Obama has had these moments.
He's had terror attacks.
He's had the Fort Hood shooter by a Muslim.
Uh he's had the BP oil spill.
Uh he's had the Times Square bomber.
He's had all kinds.
They had the Christmas bomber.
He's had all kinds of chances to connect with the American.
He doesn't care.
You know, you you you Democrats who he holding out hope Obama will connect with the American people, when are you going to understand that he thinks of himself so far above the American people that a connection with them would be too big a step down for him?
You know, asking Obama to connect with the public is like asking you to become a garbage man.
You aren't gonna do it.
Obama needs to connect with the people.
He can't.
Do left-wing intelligentsia types ever connect with the people?
They hold them in contempt.
At any rate, I told you I was gonna have fun with this story.
Twinky diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds.
I love stirring the conventional wisdom pot, as you know.
And I love being right.
It's a folks, it's a thrill.
I have to tell you, you don't know what it's like to be right as often as I am, particularly when you simply following instincts.
When being right really didn't have that much to do with formal education, just being streetwise smart, just having commons is having the guts to say what you know to be true, regardless what the reaction to it's gonna be, and then when it eventually is all proven, like I hope he fails, all this stuff.
What have I told you about diet and exercise?
Exercise is irrelevant.
What matters in losing weight is what you eat, pure and simple, and it's how much.
Nothing more than that.
And everybody tries to tell me I'm wrong that I don't know what I'm talking about.
And every time a story comes out on this, I am validated, and nobody has ever said, Rush, you know you were right about this.
And this is in CNN on their web page.
For ten weeks, Mark Hawb, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of the ate a twinkie every three hours instead of meals.
To add variety in his steady stream of hostess and little Debbie snacks, he munched on Doritos, sugar cereals, and Oreo cookies.
This is a nutrition professor.
His premise is that in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters, not the nutritional value of food.
The premise held up.
On his convenience store diet.
Now remember, this is what Michelle My Butt Obama.
That's the second time I've done that, and I apologize.
You know, I was swear, folks.
I have sworn I am not going to do stories that I'm not I'm not going to pass on stories to you that have to do with her fashion sense.
Because I frankly, I don't care.
You know, I really I don't care.
But some of it's getting too hard to stomach now.
Well, the fact that she's a fashion icon, I'm sorry.
You have to say I don't care.
Well, she gets off the plane wearing something.
It looks like it got grease splotches on the dress.
Looks like she ran up against the hydraulic machine on the airplane, and they're calling it a fashion statement.
I'm sorry, it just doesn't.
It doesn't cut it with me, and I don't care.
But when you go that far overboard to claim she's a f making fashion statements here.
They call it vintage.
Yeah, that's what they're calling it vintage.
No, I haven't forgotten a diet story.
Look, it works here.
They're calling it vintage.
Go back and wear old-fashioned stuff that you should have thrown away from the 80s, that you still have, and then you mix it with what somebody bought you today and call it a fashion statement called vintage.
When basically you wear what fits.
You and I, we wear what fits the hell with fashion.
We don't have time for that.
Anyway, Michelle Obama's on this big uh obesity kick, right?
Gotta eat healthy stuff, you gotta eat the garbage that she grows in the garden, nothing but fruits and nothing but vegetables.
You can't, you can't go out and grab a burger like her husband does every chance he gets.
I mean, here comes some foreign leader.
The last one was Dmitry Medvedev or Medvedev or whatever.
Where does he take him?
To a burger joint in Virginia.
That's because he doesn't get to eat that stuff at home, and he is the president of the United States.
So he's having to eat all this so-called healthy stuff, and Michelle Obama wants to spend 400 million dollars to combat food deserts.
She's all upset that the only food available to poor urban people are convenience stores.
The 7 Eleven's uh where did Biden say?
You gotta be able to speak Indian.
Yeah, you can't go in one without finding an Indian.
Yeah.
That's what that's what the Joe Bite me said.
So she's complaining about food deserts.
Meaning and then Michelle Obama wants to punish big food and big retail for not putting uh quality food stores in uh poor neighborhoods, right?
And that's why there's an obesity epidemic, right?
Okay, along comes Mark Hobb, professor human nutrition, Kansas State University, who ate a Twinkie every three hours, and when he got tired of Twinkies, he ate Doritos, sugar cereals, and Oreos.
And he was out there to prove that pure calorie counting is what matters most, not the nutritional value of the food.
And the premise held up.
On his convenience store diet, available in what Michelle calls food deserts.
He lost 27 pounds in two months eating twinkies, Doritos, Oreos, and sugar cereals.
For a class project, Professor Hobb limited himself to 1800 calories a day.
He didn't care where they came from.
It was 1,800 calories.
Now, a man of his pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories a day, so he followed a basic principle of weight loss.
He consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned.
His body mass index went from 28.8, considered overweight, to 24.9, which is normal.
He now weighs 174 pounds.
He weighed 201.
But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered.
Not so.
His bad cholesterol or LDL dropped 20% on a diet of Donnie, you're listening to this or you're ignoring me on purpose.
Catherine, you hear this.
She sent me a note up there.
Don't get any twinkie ideas.
When I first mentioned this in the first day, she sent me an instant message.
Don't you get any twinkie ideas?
Catherine, are you hearing me on this?
Nothing but twinkies.
I don't even like them.
Don't worry.
I don't I don't like Twinkies.
I don't like hostess cupcakes.
If you like them, fine.
Now I am a sucker for Doritos.
That's why we don't have them in the house.
I am a sucker for Doritos.
I don't like sugar cereals and I don't like Oreos.
But you know, I'm not a big sugar guy.
Solvents.
Yeah, I like, yeah, salted snacks.
I mean, I'm I'm right in there.
Well, you do need to, you do need to balance that stuff out with the occasional twinkie because you need to go from the salt to the sugar.
That that's why people eat caramel corn instead of regular popcorn.
That's why sometimes you'll see a people at the movie leave popcorn with butter on them and go grab a Snickers.
All I'm telling you is if you do that and keep it under 1,800 calories, you are going to lose weight.
That's what this guy has proven here.
And his cholesterol went down, his good cholesterol went up.
He reduced the level of triglycerides by 39% eating this so-called junk food.
Oh, let me tell you something else.
Let me tell you something.
Marvin Harrison, number 88 wide receiver, Indianapolis Colts, recognized as one of the finest wide receivers in history of pro football, no longer playing.
Ate nothing but junk food.
He was known as a junk food junkie.
You ever seen Marvin Harrison?
String bean.
Now, granted, he's out there running the equivalent of a marathon every week, but still.
Okay.
It doesn't matter.
Exercise doesn't.
I maintain he'd have looked the way he looked.
He was able to eat more of it, is the point.
Exercise doesn't matter.
You gotta be when you're running, if you run a marathon every week, yeah, you're gonna be burning some calories, but not as many as you think.
Don't distract me.
That's where the head scratching comes, said the professor.
What does all this mean?
Does it mean I'm healthier?
Does it mean now that we define health from biology standpoint?
You know, I'm not geared to say this is a good thing to do.
I'm stuck in the middle.
I I guess that's the frustrating part.
I can't give a concrete answer.
I went out and I ate this junk food, I lost weight, and I got healthier.
And furthermore, he says, I used to eat before the Twinkie diet.
I tried to eat a healthy diet, included whole grains, dietary fiber, berries, bananas, vegetables.
Basically, he ate cardboard, and he occasionally treated himself to pizza.
There seems to be a disconnect between eating healthy and being healthy, Hobbes said.
It may not be the same.
I was eating healthier, but I wasn't healthy.
I was eating too much.
He maintained the same level of moderate physical activity as before going on the diet.
Didn't exercise any more than usual.
To avoid setting a bad example for his kids, he ate vegetables in front of his family.
But that was just a fake them out.
So there you have it.
Every day, every well, not every day, every every six months or so, we're going to get a story like this.
And it's just going to confirm what I, old El Rushball, have always said.
It is incredible.
It is incredible.
And it's snurdly, what makes it even more incredible in the rest of you is that I have Known this instinctively all it is what you eat.
It's it's the content, it's the quality, it's it's not all the health food garbage, it's calories in versus calories out, pure and simple.
It's not health foods, it's not exercise, pure and simple.
You can make junk food, yep, stay under whatever you you gotta figure out how many calories at your body size and age that you uh can eat every day without gaining weight, and then subtract from that.
And whatever it is you, even if it's booze.
But you if you go over the eight, if you go over the limited calorie, then the whole thing's blown.
In other words, if it takes eighteen hundred calories a day to lose weight, and you eat 1900 or more using doesn't matter what you eat.
I know what you people, but rush, but rush, what about the Atkins diet?
There's low carbohydrate, because you can eat all the protein you want.
Yes, you do it first, but after a while, you people have been on that diet admit it to me.
You lose your appetite after a while.
One of the effects of a no-carb diet, high protein diet is called ketosis.
And that is an appetite suppressor.
That's how that diet works.
For the time it works.
Don't doubt me on this stuff.
That's that's just all I'm telling you.
All right, gonna go back to the phones at 1-800-282-2882 to Chrissy in Navari, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi, Red.
Thank you for taking my call.
I just wanted to get your thoughts on how Obama, whenever he talks about his politicians, he always seems to go back to the first six months in office, really.
He does not acknowledge everything else he has done in the past year and a half.
Well, um, that's just denial.
I mean, I've let's see.
I've got we've got some 60-minute sound bites here.
Let me see if I can.
Uh let's see, here's one.
This is two.
Which which one are you talking about specifically?
What did he say?
Well, he just when he was asked a couple of questions, he always seemed to go right back to well, my first six months in office, I did so much at once.
I didn't give the American people a chance, and it just seems to me that's his call.
Oh, oh, oh, that that's that's part that's just that's the messaging stuff.
That he's just he's just trying to the first six months I tried to do so much.
I care so much.
I wanted to fix this country so bad that I didn't take the time to explain to people what I was doing.
That's all that is.
It also kind of seemed like to me last night that they didn't really prepare him for some of the questions, that he was caught off God almost about them, that he wasn't expecting them.
Uh I don't think he cares what the questions are.
I I don't I don't think I I don't think there is any prepping Obama for for these things.
I don't I don't think he cares.
I don't think it's these this these interviews, they're perfunctory.
He's do he does them because the White House says, we think he ought to go do this 60 minutes, first election, post-election interview.
Uh his answers are just mumbo jumbo.
I mean, the bottom line is here, uh Chrissy, he he cannot accept responsibility.
He's never gonna be narcissists.
This guy's never had to accept responsibility for anything.
He's always had people covering up for him.
He he blamed the Republicans for the unpopularity of his health care reform bill.
He he it's the Republicans' fault if people don't like Obama's care.
The Republicans didn't help him enough.
So I mean, I don't mean to be dismissive.
I just I uh I've got these Obama 60 minutes sound bites.
I don't even I don't even care to play them on it because I don't there there's nothing newsworthy in them.
I'm I'm watching I'm watching a National Football League games yesterday afternoon and they're doing this promo for Obama coming up on 60 minutes.
And they're telling us breathlessly.
Obama's first post-election interview with Steve Croft, the sixth big whoop.
If it were his first interview in months, interesting, but this is one millionth interview in 500,000 days.
Or what have you.
Why why do I want to listen to goblety gook?
I I just I'm sorry.
I look I'm not trying to be dismissive.
It just I don't need to hear the guy to know who he is.
Uh Edward, is that right?
Edward in uh Shelby Township, Michigan.
Great to have you on the ED.
Hi.
Uh Megadiddos to you from uh Michigan, who is now controlled by all Republicans and both houses and the governorship.
Right.
This is terrific.
Uh I didn't think I'd ever see in my lifetime.
Uh it's been great.
Uh I think you were one of the causes that helped us, and I've been listening to you since about 1990.
Yeah.
Um what I'm really concerned about.
The reason I called today is the fact that uh the government printing presses are uh printing money uh at breakneck speed.
And I listened to uh Paul Ryan and Darrell Issa on Sunday when they were on Fox, and um Paul Ryan knows this budget backwards and forwards, and he really really is an intelligent man if he's able to get anything through Congress.
Right, and you're you're worried about the devaluation of the dollar, right?
Oh it's i it's more than that, Rush.
I'm worried about the country in general.
If if the dollar falls below where I think it's gonna go.
I mean, I've been buying commodities on the market, and they've been going up at ridiculous breakneck.
All right, now here's the thing about this.
Without going into detail of what it means, the bottom line is you know it and everybody knows it, and yet it's being done, which means it's purposeful, which means people are going to have to square up and face the reason why.
Back after this.
I'll never forget when I was on William Shatner's show, that uh it's on A and E, I think, or Bravo or whatever network, I forget even the name of the show.
I mean during the interview, raw nerve, that's right.
And during the interview, I said, Well, how do you know?
You know, I was so certain about how do you know?
I said, because it's my job to know.
How do you know all this?
One of the reasons I know what I know is that I know liberals and I know liberals lie.
And if Michelle Obama's gonna be out there ripping into food deserts and saying this is the white people are fa I know it's not true.
Russ, you really believe that it's that simple to you, liberals lie.
Yes, it is, folks.
Once you learn that, once you come to grips with, once you accept that, the rest is easy.
Very, very simple.
Now, my my doctor, my doctor has never told me to res to re uh uh restrict my intake assault.
But if he did, I wouldn't.
I'd just spend more time in the steam or the sauna, sweating it out.
There are more than two ways or three ways to skin a cat.
Well, you sweat it out, Snertley, absolutely right.
If the idea is to re is it limit your intake of salt, then just go ahead and intake it and sweat it out.
What are you sweating, Snertley?
Why do you think your dog wants to lick you when you've been sweating like crazy?
Or your cat, it doesn't matter.
Look, and I don't want to stick a nutrition.
I already got an email saying this guy's turning off his radio for the rest of the week now.
It always happens.
I don't care what Oh, I could talk golf.
I could talk, I had a you taught want to talk golf.
I could spend the rest of this show telling you about the three days or two days I spent in the Bahamas.
Actually, it was three.
Uh video taping filming the latest episode of the Haney Project.
Well, I'm not gonna give it away here, Snerdly.
I just I'm just telling you this.
I I I uh I uh flew over there on Friday after the program, flew into Marsh Harbor, and had to take a boat over to Baker's Bay, which is where the episode was shot for the weekend.
And on the boat over with the golf channel crew, I said, you and Haney are in for a shock.
You and Hank Haney are in for a surprise.
And I said, when we get there, the minute This boat ducks, we're heading straight to the range.
We had 20 minutes of sunlight left.
We're heading straight to the range.
We're not going to this social thing tonight.
We're not going to the cocktail party.
We're not going to go to dinner.
We're going to the range.
And I went to the range for an hour after sundown.
They pulled a couple of Jeeps out to light the range for me with the cameras rolling.
And they were shocked.
And I went on a limb.
I went on a limb and told them you're you guys are going to be stunned.
You're going to be surprised.
And I went on a limb.
Tell them, what if what if I didn't have it?
What if Saturday comes?
And I don't have it, but I had it.
Yeah, well, that's the objective.
The previous two uh uh uh well students didn't.
So it was it was yeah, it was about time I we're we're on episode four here of eight.
So it's about time.
And bamboo magic happened.
Magic.
And I knew it was gonna happen, and I told them you guys are in for a surprise.
Haney was not there on Friday night.
It was just the camera crew and me.
They got tape of it.
Damn it.
Tape on the boat going over there.
I'm looking right in the camera.
You guys are going to be surprised.
And I told them we're not messing around with any social stuff tonight.
I couldn't care less about a cocktail party or dinner.
I'll do that after we're going to the range.
We're staying there till I'm through.
And that was an hour after dark, which would have been 7 30.
We got to 6 p.m.
5 30.
No, we got there at 5 o'clock.
5 30.
We had a half hour.
45 minutes of light left.
That's right.
No, I could I can spend the rest of the show telling you about that, but in the minute I go to my email, I'm gonna have five more.
Well, I just I don't want to hear about golf.
I'm gonna turn you off for the rest of the week.
You could have wasted five minutes on it, and that's all I would have taken, but now you spent ten.
I've had it with you.
I just got one of those after doing the diet story.
It happens all the time.
David, Aventura, Florida, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Thanks, Russ.
I agree with you a hundred percent.
I've been in this field for about 35 years.
Thank you very much.
What which field?
The exercise and nutrition field.
Oh, exercise.
As a trainer for over 35 years, and I I keep meaning to call you and telling you how right you are about it, not because uh of any other reason, because you are right.
Specifically, right about what?
About the calories in.
It's total number a number of calories, it always has been.
All right, now so exercise is not that big of factor in losing weight, but why does it matter?
Absolutely a zero factor, believe it or not.
Your body will adapt to it over time and it'll be part of your lifestyle.
Therefore, it's not calories out, it's all 100% calories in.
Okay, so if exercise increases your appetite, you'll just eat more.
The exercise Well, that that's a psychological.
I can't I've never been able to measure that.
I don't believe it does.
Never does anything for me except for make me more tired.
And many people more tired.
So you're a trainer, so wait a minute, though.
You said you're a trainer, so that I assume means you're an exercise trainer.
Well, what's there obviously some value in it.
Why do you do it?
Oh, yeah, and it makes them if you do it properly, it makes you more efficient human being, makes you stronger and more efficient at doing things better.
But uh many of the claims that they have out there in the field of exercise are uh they're specious.
Like weight loss.
Like weight loss.
Weight loss, absolutely not very inefficient, very poor mode for weight loss.
Very hard, too, because all it does is make you hungrier, at least that's me.
And it increases my appetite.
I can't tell you how many people.
No, David, seriously, I can't tell you how many people I know who do exercise a lot, who tell me the reason they do it is so they can eat a lot, they love to eat, and so they exercise to accommodate for how much they're eating.
Uh that's funny because we see a lot of people that uh acquiesce to that.
And in my opinion, they're just fat-active people.
Okay.
And uh I'll do you one better than that.
There's no such thing as cardiovascular exercise.
Oh, now that's controversial.
That's gonna light some fires out there.
No such thing.
Well, you I mean, if you look at it, uh don't you think the truth and uh economics and uh I do, but I mean this is the cardiovascular exercise is one of these uh unmitigated truths.
I mean, it's just it's just accepted.
Yeah.
Though you just said it's accepted.
It's traditionally accepted without scrutiny, just like uh liberalism is tr traditionally accepted and passed down without scrutiny.
What else are we doing?
I wouldn't call the show.
Well, yeah, I know, but you're gonna have to explain to people w w what is what is the uh what what is what's the ruse?
What what do people what are they mistaken about when they think they're helping themselves doing cardiovascular rectas?
Are you saying it doesn't strengthen the heart, it doesn't strengthen your your cardiovascular system?
No, it strengthens the skeletal muscles involved.
It makes them very skillful at uh performing the said recreation, said sport said activity.
Uh-huh.
But it doesn't make your heart any healthier.
Let me let me go at this a different way.
Let me ask you a question.
All during junior high school, grade school and junior high school, we had the the president's, you had this physical fitness test we had to do twice or three times a year.
And one of the things on it, you had to do the 600-yard walk and or run in a certain amount of time.
I was uh I did that, yeah.
Okay, I don't care.
I could I don't care what I weighed, I could not run 600 yards straight.
I had to stop and walk some of it.
Now your theory is no matter how much cardiovascular I did, I would still that would not change.
No, absolutely not.
It's a specific uh activity unto itself.
So when Coach Mike Shanahan of the Washington Redskins says I pulled Donovan McNabb because he wasn't cardiovascular prepared to run a two-minute drill.
Uh I find that uh I thought I found that to be ridiculous when I heard about that.
Well, you're right.
I can't tell you why I know, but you're right.
I I found that to be absolutely ludicrous, uh, but I I find a lot of those things to be ludicrous.
So, yeah, um what I'm saying is it's your skeletal muscles that perform the work, the heart gets specifically so-called conditioned for that set activity.
If you really want to uh it it's it's a very um accepted traditional thing because it's you it's not your heart or vascular system forms of work, it's a skeletal muscles.
So it's most important to find the most efficient way and to work your skeletal muscles and you let your heart do what it does best is keep you alive.
Yeah, well, it makes all sense in the world to me.
I don't I don't doubt any of it.
I have known some professional athletes, particularly NFL players who smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, who who were among the best at their positions.
What?
Yeah.
Well, I know I've done it.
I step in it every time this subject comes up.
Every time.
Every time it comes up, I'm the one that doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I'm where I'm well aware of it, Snurley.
It's been my lot in life.
How many of you happen to see either the actual live coverage of New York City Marathon yesterday or maybe some highlights of it later on?
Do you see it?
Look at the people who ran in a New York City marathon.
Most of them look like death eating a cracker.
I thought I'm looking at cadavers eating crackers.
And I I just I just know that that's not for me.
If you are sitting at your computer right now, I want you to stop and think about something.
On your computer, you're listening to this program probably on the uh Rush 24-7.
Uh who knows what else you have up.
But you know on your computer you've got hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures that mean everything to you.
And you probably learned how to scan important documents and turn them into electronic files and you're storing them on your Computer.
I want you to imagine if right now your computer died.
Mine.
Well, my iPad did let two of them.
My computer ate both of my iPads.
The point is, imagine if your computer just gets wiped.
You're sitting there, you're not doing anything, and all of a sudden it goes black, and you can't turn it on, and you don't know what's happened.
And imagine you've lost everything.
That happens to people.

Dick, welcome to the EIB network.
Nice to have you here.
Fine, sir.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I just wanted to uh talk a little bit about this uh story that hasn't gotten much airplay, and that's this sleight of hand scheme cooked up by Ben Bernanke and Tim Geitner to steal 1.2 trillion dollars from the American public.
You're talking about QE2.
Well, I'm not sure what the nickname is for it, but it's the bond buyout scheme.
Yeah, that's opposing uh quantitative easing, QE2.
It's it's it's it's roughly a trillion dollars, and it's got the rest of the world upset.
What we're doing is monitorizing our debt.
We're gonna get rid of our debt by monitoring because we're we're and the rest of the world, the Chicons of Germans are fit to be tied because we're gonna take the rest of the world economy with us while we fix ours.
That's what they're upset about.
Well, no one's talking about it, and uh, I mean it doesn't get much airplay, but I mean essentially that's uh if there's 350 million Americans, that's nearly 7,000 for every man, woman, and child in America.
Well, have you seen the number on the Drudge Report today that the nations of the world owe a total of 10.2 trillion dollars?
I haven't seen that, but that we're already Greece.
And and and really the uh the analogy of printing money is not accurate because this is just a stroke of a keyboard where they're going to uh they're gonna they're gonna erase the debt that they they sold the bonds for, and then they're gonna double it because essentially they're printing money to pay for the debt that's exactly.
That's what I mean by monitorizing the debt.
You're exactly right.
And it got even less news the first time they did it, QE1, and it didn't work then.
It was supposed to be uh a market stimulus, but it didn't work.
So now we're gonna double down and do it again.
They're not even bothering to print the money.
Bottom line.
They're not even bothering to print it, they're just gonna say we're paying off.
Yeah, but I don't think that anybody actually realizes the uh really the No that well.
Who do you mean?
Who do you mean nobody?
The Chicams are livid over it, the Germans are livid over it.
What do you mean nobody?
Well, I think that the American public, I mean, they see this figure of the 600 with a B at the end of it, and they have no idea what it is.
I don't know that that's true.
They may not specifically get this particular thing, but this election was all about this.
This election was all about this unsupportable level of debt that we've got.
This election was all about taking the earnings of people not yet born to further social programs of the Democrat Party.
The American people know full well that something's about this isn't right, that this is not how things have worked in Washington.
That's I have no doubt they're aware of it.
And we'll be back right after this.
We're going to be talking to George W. Bush at 106 Eastern Time tomorrow afternoon about his new book, Decision Points.
He's uh he's all over media.
This will be his first radio interview tomorrow, be live at 106 in the afternoon, and they got this email, dear rush.
Uh Debt.
Don't know who it was, that idiot that sent you this note about though cardiovascular X. I don't know where he went to school, but he's dead wrong.
And I knew that was going to happen.
He just knew that was going to happen.
They don't call me old Captain Stir the pot for nothing.
See you tomorrow, folks.
President Bush, top of the second hour.
