Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
All right, folks, it's very simple.
This debt, this debt commission report, Irks and Bowles, Alan Simpson, forget it.
It's worthless.
The premise is totally corrupt.
Don't get caught up in debating any of the minutia or the aspects of this thing.
It's a setup, it is a trap.
All it does is cement the notion of expanded government spending ad infinitum.
Not even.
I'm not even I'll give you a couple of reasons why I'm saying this, but I'm not going to waste my time like I see them doing on a news networks, dissecting this stuff.
There's nothing bold about it.
There's nothing revolutionary about it.
It's a trick.
Hi, Rushland bought 800-282-2882.
Snerdley, I the rest of you, I'm I'm gonna have to do some serious self-examination.
Everybody around me is depressed as hell.
Everybody around me is mad about something.
I get up every day, happy as a clam.
I come in here and I am surrounded by, well, you're all ticked off about whatever we're doing with the Chinese.
Dawn's mad at the color of my shirt.
Brian's upset at the large FedEx delivery came in today.
Uh I mean, yeah, yeah, go to New York.
I'm sure the people up there would be crypto and moaning about something.
Uh I it's just, it is just, it's just amazing.
You know, I've uh I I've uh I've I've been told that when this is the case, that it's not me, it's them.
Uh I've been told by professionals that when people are mad or happy, and it isn't me, but it seems like it happens.
I get up every day, I'm in a great mood, and by the time this show starts, I am surrounded by fatalism, depression, angst.
Uh, it's just I mean, the last three days is uh it's just been over the top.
We're gonna start with some football today, folks.
I I read something today.
I can't stomach.
It's just you know they've had a quarterback change in Miami.
The Miami Dolphins have decided they're gonna sit Chad Henney as the been the starting quarterback and are put it put in there Chad Pennington.
So the coach Tony Sperano walks into the quarterbacks meeting to announce the change, and the two quarterbacks start crying.
I'm not I'm right here it is.
Shortly after Coach Tony Sperano walked into the room to inform the group that a change was needed.
Chad Henney and his mentor turned replacement Chad Pennington a heart to heart that turned into a sob session.
The quarterbacks of the Miami Dolphins are crying.
I have never read or seen anything like this.
Maybe this is what happened when you get two guys named Chad in the same room.
I don't know.
But we're back now in Florida.
We got another Chad controversy.
First it was ballot boxes, now it's a quarterbacks, and the two quarterbacks of the Dolphins are crying about it.
Well, I'm sure they hugged.
It's uh it's a situation that's not fair.
I've been benched before when it really wasn't my fault.
I understand every emotion he has, said Pennington, who uh learned to be taking over the Dolphins' erratic offense during a 45-minute meeting with Sperano.
I understand everything Chad Henney is going through.
He has every right to feel the emotions he has.
Well, let's just have an encounter group session here.
This is a national football league for crying out loud.
The two quarterbacks are in a sob session.
When the change is in there, I just and then the media won't let go of the McNabb stuff.
McNabb's in Washington.
We got two sound bites here this morning, Philadelphia.
Uh WTXF eyeball TV News, good day live.
A co-host Seanette Wilson is talking to some radio guy and about Mike Shanahan, the coach of the Redskins.
You know, there's a controversy there because supposedly the McNabb can't have the cardiovascular ability to run the two-minute offense.
So now they're saying they're trying to say Shanahan's a racist.
I kid you not.
They're trying to make a point.
Shanahan has never had a black quarterback in his history as a as a it's this is absurd.
Listen to this.
For years, the reason that blacks were not playing quarterback in the NFL was they were perceived they're not smart enough to run the offense.
Shanahan is dumb because you're opening up this avenue that people can go down.
At worst, he's saying in a very somewhat thinly veiled way, my black quarterback isn't smart enough to run the office.
He's not saying that.
He did not say that.
This is what the media is interpreting.
What Shanahan said, he's had two different versions.
He said he didn't know the playbook, didn't know the two minute offense, and he said the cardiovascular wasn't there.
And he brought in uh he brought in Jamarcus Russell, the black quarterback, um, uh gave him a look seat and tried.
Now the Philadelphia media is all over this.
Now now the head coach of the Redskins are racist.
And of course, this story wouldn't be complete without my name being thrown in the middle of the case.
The racial tone is there.
The fact that Mike Shanahan hasn't had an African American quarterback, even as a backup in 20 plus years, lends some credibility to it.
Another thing that's interesting is Donovan McNav has always been labeled as kind of the company man.
He's the anti-militant.
But these types of issues seem to follow him around.
You've got the Rush Limbaugh issue.
Maybe if he just stepped up at some point and said, Wait a minute, the way I'm being treated is disrespectful.
Maybe some of these coaches would realize there's some backlash to doing some of this.
When would this happen?
What would this this was 2000?
Is it five or six years ago this all happened with the uh ESPN pregame show?
And here they are in Philadelphia.
McNabb doesn't even play there anymore, and he's coming back.
Uh well, I think the Eagles, the Eagles go to Washington this weekend for the uh rematch.
Just amazing.
Since we're on the subject of race, let's stick with it.
Have you ever noticed when we end up talking about race, it's always a bunch of liberals that are responsible for it.
Liberals in the media, uh, liberals in the Democrat Party this morning on MS NBC, the daily rundown, a co-host F. Chuck Todd interviewed former Democrat Congressman Martin Frost, who's now some wealthy rich lobbyist.
He does some commentating on TV.
F. Chuck said, some speculation here.
Pelosi trying to end the fight just between Stenny Hoyer and Kleiburn.
Hoyer wanting Kleiburn to go back to the back of the bus.
Uh uh leadership battle here.
Kleiburn has no interest in going down to the next leadership post.
He wants the whole shebang.
They're talking about creating a new spot for Clyburn.
Is that the right thing to do?
Here's Martin Frost, a former Democrat from Texas.
Here's the thing the top two leadership positions get a car, a driver, they get uh more staff, they get security, they get an office in the Capitol.
When it was the three in the majority, did Clyburn also have all that?
Okay, when you're in the minority, caucus chair doesn't carry any of the stroke or the perks that it carries even in the majority.
Do you believe what we have here today to start?
We got quarterbacks crying in Miami.
We got television people on the air in Philadelphia trying to say that a head coach of the Redskins is a racist.
And now we've got the Democrats worried that that Kleibern's getting a shaft because he's not going to have a car, he's not going to have a driver, he's not going to have security, he's not going to have any of the stroke or the perks.
That's what this is all about.
So last night on PBS, the Tavis Smiley show.
Tavis is interviewing the Washington Post Congressional correspondent Paul Kane.
You all know Paul.
Smiley says, You don't know Paul?
Fine.
So nobody else does either.
Uh, you start to hear footsteps of a brown black coalition who might be lining up behind Jim Clyburn.
Now, I only raise this, Tavis Smiley says, because I'm wondering how that might fracture or splinter the Democrat Party in the House, quite frankly, along racial lines.
Barack Obama is starting off his re-election campaign now.
He needs to re-energize the African American vote.
All of those first-time black voters from 2008.
He needs to get that group of people back behind him 110%.
He does not want to begin that by kicking the highest ranking black congressman ever out of leadership.
That's just a recipe for disaster.
What's Obama got to do with it?
Obama's he's gone.
You know, we're gonna we're gonna extend the Bush tax cuts to everybody here.
Where's Obama?
Axelrod's out there saying, hey, you know what, we have to deal with the reality that it is.
This means, folks, don't tell me we can't secure a veto of uh healthcare.
I'll get to this in more detail here in just a second, but uh now Obama's gotta get involved here, save Kleiburn.
Obama's got to get involved because the white Democrats in the House are gonna throw Kleiburn overboard, take away his car, take away his driver, take away his perks, take away his stroke, take away his uh uh uh whatever, and put him to the back of the bus.
And Tavis Smiley's in on this now.
Last night, Tavis Smiley responded to Paul Kane.
He said this.
It's amazing what happens when black and brown people after years of not having any power start to demand some respect.
Oh, hell seems to break loose in the Democrat Party.
So there you have it.
All hell breaking loose in the Democrat Party because now black and brown people, after tonight, tonight we on the inside.
We want to get in there.
You have the current white leadership responsible for the biggest shellacking in the history of the Democrat Party.
Well, since the 30s.
You got Pelosi throwing a party to celebrate this yesterday afternoon.
Pelosi threw a party at 3 30 to celebrate the achievements.
The white racist leadership of the Democrat Party trying to ace out Kleiburn.
Tavis Smiley says it's what happens when black and brown people after years of not having any power.
Now, Kleiburn has had power.
Kleiburn has had power, but they want to take it away from him here.
Tavis Smiley not down with this.
Uh Kleiburn's starting to demand respect, and all hell seems to break loose in the Democrat Party.
Hey, I have a suggestion.
You know, I like to mediate these things.
I like to bring people together.
I like to unify people.
I don't like seeing this kind of strife.
Kleburn's worried about not having a car.
Kleiburn's worried about not having the perk of uh uh a big office, uh driver, so forth.
The way this can all be worked out, Kleiburn's new position, driving Miss Nancy.
He gets to keep the car.
He gets to go everywhere she goes.
Parties and everything else.
He's not in the back of the bus.
He's in the driver's seat, and she's in the back of the car being chauffeur.
Solved problem.
Thank you.
We'll move on in just a second.
State control media doesn't know what to make of uh the story in the Huffington Puffington Post today, uh quoting Axelrod, saying we have to deal with the world as we find it, the world of what it takes to get this done.
This is Axlrod during an unusually candidate.
What does that mean?
He lies most of the time.
During an unusually candid and reflective 90-minute interview in his office with the Huffington Puffington Post.
There are concerns, he said that Congress will continue to kick the can down the road in the future by passing temporary extensions for the wealthy, time and time again.
But I don't want to trade away security for the middle class in order to make that point.
Uh listen to this.
The temporary continuation of uh Bush era tax cuts, including for the wealthiest taxpayers, that appears to be the only way, Axelrod said that middle class taxpayers can keep their tax cuts given the legislative and political realities facing Obama in the aftermath of last week's electoral defeat.
So he's trying to say, and this is they've been working on this for the longest, and trying to say that the Republicans, if they don't get their tax cut extension for the rich, if the middle class are not gonna get their tax cuts at all.
And so Axelrod's saying, look, we gotta deal with reality, and we're gonna make sure the middle class get their tax cuts, so we gotta go along with the rich getting theirs.
That's not why this is happening.
The reason this is happening is because everybody knows the economy is a Disaster, and this would make it worse.
And they get they they they they if they gotta they they can't they can't go full board destroying the economy overnight.
I think it's spiraled out of their control.
I don't think they have any clue uh what to do with the circumstances they find themselves in now.
But but this little sentence here, that appears to be the only way, said Axelrod that middle class taxpayers can keep their tax cut.
Is that not a direct endorsement of the concept of tax cuts being helpful?
You want the middle class to keep their tax cuts.
Why?
If if if if tax cuts deprive the government of money, why is it preferable?
Because the middle class pays much more in taxes a total aggregate than the rich do.
I mean, the rich pay the largest percentage, but if you add up all of the the dollar for dollar comparisons, it's not an insignificant amount of money that government quote unquote doesn't get.
So they come around and they will admit in their darkest times that tax cuts do make sense.
The bottom line is these people are lying through their teeth all the time when they're said to be advancing their agenda.
Here's a state control media uh not happy about it.
We have a montage here of uh Axelrod, their their reaction to Axel Rada Huffing and Puffington Post today.
The White House continues to signal its willingness, the president's willingness to compromise on the Bush tax cuts.
The administration softening its position on the Bush tax cuts.
He is open to compromise.
President Obama making his first concessions to Republicans.
So the White House has caved essentially, and we're talking about all of the tax cuts across the board.
Obviously, compromises in the air.
So what is to be learned from this?
Now you on one hand, you could say January 1st is coming up.
We got the lambduck session of Congress coming up, and you could interpret this if you wanted to as saying the president blinked.
You could say Obama caved.
Axelrod's out there saying, well, look, we have to deal with the world as we find it.
That's a tantamount admission that they got creamed.
It's a tantamount admission that there is no support for their political position on these tax cuts.
So now there's a little maneuvering going on in terms of the language.
They want to make it look like the Bush tax cuts are now the Obama tax cuts.
The tax increases would take Bush off the president's blame list.
Now the economy, number one issue in exit polls, the economy has killed the Democrats in this election cycle.
And now the president's in the crosshairs for 2012.
Uh Obama didn't care about Democrats in 2010, but this is now.
So if Obama's caving on raising taxes.
And remember how firm he was in this.
Remember how firm the Democrats axelarod Obama's been throughout the year on the fact that there would not be any compromise on the tax cuts, Bush tax cuts for the wealthy being extended.
It wasn't going to happen.
So if we don't know this yet, I mean, these people are liberals, they lie.
This could be a trial balloon floated out there.
You know, this combined with this hilarious deficit commission report has got the unions climbing the walls.
The unions are beside themselves.
The unions cannot believe what's happening.
Because the ratio in this in this deficit commission report, the ratio of spending cuts to tax increases is 75 to 25.
And that alone makes me think the whole thing's a trap.
Seventy-five percent of the savings are um spending cuts.
Twenty-five percent of the revenue changes are tax increases.
Well, Pelosi's looking at that.
Durbin's looking at this.
Whoa, there is no way.
The unions are going bonkers.
Our guys are kind of get sucked in here on the Republican side.
There's, well, you know, we have to look at the some uh uh potential here or maybe some things to work with.
Dirty little secret about this is that what it does is establish as a premise the notion of gigantic government.
And I will right after the break, I'm gonna explain this to you.
There was a great post at Ricochet.com, which is a uh a new blog out there, Peter Robinson.
And there's a post by a guy named Steve Manachek who who has analyzed this and has come up with some absolutely scary analysis.
Well, it's not analysis.
He has found scary admissions in this thing, such as the level of government spending expressed as a percentage of GDP.
It is skyrocketing under this proposal.
So all this talk about spending cuts, it's it's it's smoke and mirrors.
Anyway, if Obama has blinked, he can be made to blink again.
If we stand firm.
Rush Limbaugh, no crying behind a golden EIB microphone like there was in a quarterback's meeting in the Miami Dolphins today.
I still don't believe that.
I still cannot believe.
They announce a quarterback change of Miami Dolphins and a two quarterbacks, both named Chad start crying.
Even the guy who got the job.
And the media, the left, they have gone bat guano, folks, over this uh tax cut business.
Salon.com, Obama's tax cut surrender.
The richest Americans can breathe easy.
Their taxes won't go up.
Not now, probably not later.
Something else that Axelrod did in this interview with a Huffing and Puffington post that we still haven't seen a transcript of it, by the way.
But when he acknowledges that they had to do this to keep the tax cuts of the middle class, he's admitting that there were tax cuts for the middle class.
Which obsolete now the Democrats always denied.
They always said these are Bush tax cuts for the rich.
So who is this?
This is this is Andrew Leonard writing at Slate.com.
There's no sugarcoating this.
The White House has failed utterly on a goal that it tried to make its signature issue right before midterms.
Now the administration is clinging to a very slender thread.
The notion that if Congress makes tax cuts to the middle class permanent while only allowing a temporary extension of tax cuts for the wealthy, it'll force a vote further on down the line of whether or not to continue extending tax cuts for the richest Americans.
So far, the Republicans have conceded nothing while operating as the minority party in both the House and the Senate.
That's as of now.
We are still a minority party.
We won't become the majority till January.
What possible reason do we uh have for thinking that Republicans will be in any mood to compromise on anything after such a clear, overwhelming victory?
Damn straight.
But Mr. Leonard, you asked, let me answer the question for you, trying to make you feel better.
What possible reason do we have for thinking Republicans will be in any mood to compromise?
Because they're Republicans.
And they think reaching across the aisles is gonna get them loved by people like you.
From politico.
This is not good.
I mean, you've got Richard Trumke out there, uh union thug leader pronouncing the uh details of the deficit proposal as unconscionable.
Working Americans taking it in the chin here, getting the shaft of unions don't like it, Dick Durbin doesn't like it.
And now the tax cuts for the for the rich, and now this from politico.
From political, President Obama failed to reach agreement on two international deals to help spur the U.S. economy.
Now, just this morning I read that Obama was close to just just taking over that G20.
And he was having his way with those members.
And he was gonna make sure that jobs were created for the American people by virtue of his command of the issue and his leadership capability.
And now all of a sudden, he's a non-entity from politico, and they've got an inside track to this bunch.
President Obama failed to reach agreement on two international deals to help spur the U.S. Economy, unexpected setbacks on an Asia trip that was supposed to emphasize Obama's stature abroad and change the subject from last week's electoral drubbing.
Emphasize his stature abroad.
He doesn't have any.
You people in the drive-by's tried to create this notion, this image, this aura of stature.
Would you explain to me how it is that these worldwide leaders at the G20 are going to think a guy arriving two days after having his party wiped out in midterm elections has any stature?
I don't follow the logic.
What are these guys over there supposed to say?
Lula in Brazil, the South Korean guy.
What are they supposed to say?
Oh my gosh, get make way.
Here comes the Messiah.
Here comes Obama.
He just got he just got creamed in the midterm elections, but make way for Obama.
I don't know if we have the ability to even be in the same room.
What are we who are we kidding here?
The Democrats in this country, Democrats in the Senate know they elected a mistake.
They know they've got something untenable in the White House.
Look, there's even more of this.
And the stack of stuff coming up.
There's even more of this.
We're talking about this on MSNBC.
I gave you the lowdown on this on Monday.
People are still talking about the debacle that Obama is for the Democrat Party.
And this notion he's going to have stature over there in the G20.
Obama was unable to achieve a free trade agreement with South Korea.
South Korea.
Vowing to keep talking to get a better deal for U.S. automakers.
What does he need South Korea for?
Have you heard the big news?
GE has said they're going to buy 25,000 volts, big whoop.
12,000 of them in the first phase.
This is all about trying to get the IPO price up.
So General Electric is going to buy.
Aren't you excited?
Pretty soon you're going to be driving a vault.
Well, 40 miles to the charge.
I'm trying to be nice here.
So Obama unable to achieve a free trade agreement with South Korea.
And after meeting with the leaders of Germany and the ChICOMs, he continued to meet resistance from the two countries about reducing their trade surpluses with the U.S. to give a boost to American manufacturing, putting the best face on a compromise that only calls for the goal of lowering them.
One of the things I think that we're all messed up on here, we look at our economy and these guys in charge of fixing it are missing the one key, most important element.
Everybody's focusing on exports.
We got a trade imbalance with the Chikoms.
They're exporting to us, and we got to figure out a way to export to them.
No, we got to figure out a way to create American customers, period, for anything.
You can sit around, you can print all the money you want, you can do QE2, QE3, you go up to QE15.
You can have all the magic wands you want until you create consumer demand for anything in this country.
You can you can whistle Dixie about having export parity with the with the ChICOMs.
Back in June, by the way, you may have forgotten this.
Back in June, Obama was the only G20 leader who refused to pledge to cut their government deficits by half.
So here you have here you have General Electric buying 25,000 volts, and the ChICOMs are buying stock in General Motors.
And we're running around printing money, and we got a deficit commission panel, which essentially is uh establishing the notion of an ever larger government.
Let me get to that right now.
I've teased you with this.
This is Steve Manisek.
What am I missing?
54 minutes.
This is yesterday a post at Ricochet.com.
The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform has released its co-chair's proposal.
By the way, the membership didn't even know they were going to do it.
The other commissioners had no idea that Irkson Bowles and Alan Simsenbabe were going to release this thing.
Durbin, by the way, Dick Durbin is one of the commissioners.
And he was fit to be tied.
He didn't know they were going to do this.
A lot of the introductory verbiage could have come straight from the mouth of Ronald Reagan.
Cut and invest to promote economic growth, cut spending.
We simply can't afford wherever we find it.
Reform and simplify the tax code, broaden the base, lower rates, bring down the deficit.
I shared all this with you yesterday, and so on.
And there are pages and pages of more or less specific proposals.
Some more pleasing to conservatives, others to liberals.
But here's what I don't get about the initial reactions.
Mr. Manachek writes, putting aside all the minutia and all the detail, the crux of the proposal comes down to two points.
Capping federal government expenditures expenditures at 22% of GDP and capping revenues at 21% of GDP.
Each of these represents a big problem.
The first is on the spending side.
Except for the anomalous stimulus bailout recession years of 2009 and 2011, federal government expenditures haven't reached 21% of GDP since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
And Mr. Manachek writes here, except for the anomalous stimulus bailout recession years of 2011 or 2009, what the whole point, if you want to really view the dirty little secret, I know I overused that phrase.
The truth about the stimulus package was to increase the baseline on which future budgets are built.
In two years, they increased the baseline around 20%, maybe even more.
He's out there saying, shovel-ready jobs, and he said there aren't any shovel-ready jobs.
It was never about jobs, as we know.
There aren't any jobs that were created.
We continued to lose jobs.
It was rhetoric.
Jobs created, jobs saved.
This was about massively increasing the budget for all time.
That's what the stimulus bill was to up the baseline.
Now, those of you who have been regular listeners since the early 90s know all about baseline budgeting.
We spent a week explaining it to you.
The baseline is simply the amount every year that every budget item is based on.
Whether the item is overfunded or underfunded, it doesn't matter.
So, when Mr. Manichek writes here...
Except for the anomalous stimulus bailout recession years of 2009 and 2011, federal government expenditure expenditures have not reached 21% of GDP since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but they did with the stimulus.
Permanently.
The stimulus raised the baseline.
And so now this debt commission comes up and says, we're going to cap federal government expenditures at 22%.
But the problem is we've never spent 22% of GDP.
Since World War II, spending only exceeded 21% of GDP during the Reagan-Bush military buildup of the 80s and 90s for virtually all of the Clinton and George W. Bush years and during all the Kennedy-Johnson-Nixon years, federal spending ranged between 18% and 20% of GDP.
And this deficit report caps it at 22%.
It raises the baseline exactly what the stimulus was.
This thing is a blueprint for the expansion of government and codifying it as law at 22% when we've never spent that up until Obama shows up.
That's one side of this.
The more important problem is on the revenue side.
According to OMB figures, federal revenues have never reached 21% of GDP.
That's what they are targeted to be in this initial report that came out yesterday.
In fact, only in Bill Clinton's final year in orifice and during World War II even exceed 20% of GDP.
During the whole time from 1960 to 2008, federal tax revenues almost always fell between 17 and 19% of GDP, only occasionally rising above 19%.
Chiefly in Clinton's second term.
Or below 17%.
George W. Bush's first term.
Look, there's a lot of numbers here.
The bottom line is federal spending has never been as high as what this deficit commission report suggests.
And federal taxes have never been as high as what this deficit commission report suggests.
This is a trick.
And it's got all the Reagan language in there, and it's got all the stuff that sucks our side, and oh, yeah, well, look at this.
You got the left not liking it because they don't like the ratio of 75% spending cuts to 25% tax cuts.
But there isn't any cutting.
It's just like every year of the federal budget.
There's nothing being cut here.
Taxes, spending, zilch, it's all going up to unprecedented levels in our history.
And that's the truth about this.
And we'll be back.
One more reason to totally ignore the commissioner's report yesterday on the deficit reduction panel report.
Hey, don't even mention getting rid of health care.
And if you if you are serious about reducing government, if you're serious about tackling our debt, you gotta overthrow you gotta you gotta repeal it.
You cannot have any element of it.
And don't even talk about it.
It just, it's it's just it's baseless.
Well, it isn't baseless, it's dangerous what this report does.
Because it's a trick.
It's it's it's sucking our guys in.
Oh, wow, look at the Reagan language in there.
I love broadening the base.
Oh, yeah.
I kind of dig the lower rates in there.
I really do.
I like the spending, the tax cut ratio really.
Take your cue from the left.
They hate it.
They hate it.
And they're stupid.
If they understood what this thing actually proposed, they'd be out there trying to get it passed today.
Dear Rush.
Okay, that did it.
Email from my website subscribers.
No one was crying in the Dolphins locker room.
Just because someone gets a little teary-eyed does not mean he's not a man.
I guess you prefer Big Ben as a sexual assailant as your model man.
Hmm.
When you went through rehab, did you not shed a tear?
I did not.
I sure as hell did when I went through it.
When Scott Brown won in Massachusetts, I got teary-eyed because there was hope for this country.
I find it hard to go to go up to soldiers in the airport and thank them without feeling a little.
We're talking quarterbacks, a football team.
We're not talking about soldiers coming back from Afghanistan.
We're not talking about going through rehab.
We are going to reporter who called it a sob session, not teary eyes.
First it was pink cleats, pink towels, pink face masks, pink mouth guards, and now tears.
In the quarterback room.
Back to the letter.
Sometimes when I talk to my daughters about the greatness of the country, I get a little misty.
There's a difference between showing emotion and being a sissy.
Back off the Dolphins, buddy.
Laughing out loud, Ron from Olive Branch, Mississippi.
See what I mean?
Everybody around me just getting ticked off.
I show up here happy as a clam every day, and everybody around here.
Well, I was grumpy yesterday.
I had a reason to be grumpy yesterday.
I'm starting to get grumpy now.
Hey, Rush, I'm a 24-7 member.
I usually list every word you say.
And I believe you, yesterday I was having a rough day, as it seems you were, but I really got sick of you referring to unemployed people as people who don't want to work.
You're talking about California's debt, you kept referring to the unemployed as people that don't want to work.
Well, I don't live in California, but I am unemployed.
I'm 52.
I'm female and I'm sick that it's so difficult to find work.
I'm not proud to be unemployed.
I certainly wish I was gainfully employed.
Don't tell me and everybody else that we're happy to be unemployed and afraid to go to work.
Finally, some spunk.
If the letter from if the email was from California, I'd feel better about this.
If anybody is gonna start crying in football, let me tell you who it ought to be.
Jerry Jones, who owns a Dallas Cowboys.
Something's worth crying about in football, it's the Cowboys.
You might be throwing uh Wade Phillips in there.
Uh as somebody ought to be crying.
But for crying out loud, crying that you get the quarterback gig for the Dolphins.
Well, wait a minute now.
That might be something to cry about.
