Time Text
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh off to a rousing start on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
We go to the phones.
The content of the program is all yours.
This is recognized by many.
As one of the greatest professional career risks ever undertaken by a major worldwide media figure.
That is turning over the content of the highest rated program in the world to rank amateurs.
Well, MSNBC does it every day, but not under that pretense.
These are lovable rank amateurs, mind you.
And we love doing it.
Whatever you want to talk about on Friday, uh questions, comments, observations.
Again, 800-282-2882 if you want to call.
This from the Daily Caller, it ran yesterday under the headline House Republican conservatives set to unveil two and a half trillion dollars in deep spending cuts.
A number of the House Republicans and leading conservative members announced legislation that would cut two and a half trillion dollars over ten years, which will be by far the most ambitious and far-reaching proposal by the new majority to cut federal government spending.
Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee will unveil the bill in a speech at the Heritage Foundation on Thursday morning next week.
Jordan's bill.
Which uh I think yeah, I think Jordan's bill, and I guess next week, which will have a companion bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Jim Demint, South Carolina Republican, would impose deep and broad cuts across the federal government.
It includes both budget-wide cuts on non-defense discretionary spending back 2006 levels, and proposes the elimination or drastic reduction of more than 50 government programs.
Jordan's Spending Reduction Act would eliminate such things as the U.S. Agency for International Development, that's U.S. aid, and its 1.39 billion dollar annual budget.
I have seen that agency in action.
That's the bunch I went with on my troop visit to Afghanistan.
Uh the Spending Reduction Act would eliminate the 445 million dollar annual subsidy for the corporation for public broadcasting.
The 1.5 billion dollar annual subsidy for Amtrak.
I told you the other day, there's so much in this government to cut 20% federal pay, 20% federal employees, sell off some government landers, all kinds of stuff you can do before you even get to the precious entitlements.
And the precious discretionary spending.
Cut $2.5 billion in high-speed rail grants.
The $150 million subsidy for the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority.
And it would cut in half to $7.5 billion the federal travel budget.
But the program eliminations and reductions would account for only $330 billion of the two and a half trillion in cuts.
The bulk of the cuts would come from returning non-defense discretionary spending to the 2006 level of $496.7 billion.
It's right now $670 billion.
Going back to 2006 levels would reduce spending by $2.3 trillion over 10 years.
So just go back four or five years.
Everywhere.
It would not be missed.
The media would be missed everywhere.
I mean, we get an endless parade of people starving.
They would actually show us.
They would have doctors on the street pronouncing people dead from starvation.
Rather than saving them, rather than feeding them, the media and and so forth would be there to document the time of death from starvation due to budget cuts.
That's I mean, at not all that big an exaggeration either.
Which reminds me of one of Sam Kinnison's funniest bits, he always railed at Sally Struthers.
You remember those appeals for money from Sally Struthers on TV?
She wasn't all in the family for those of you of a certain age.
Rob Reiner's wife, Meathead's wife, Archie Bunker's daughter.
And she'd go over to Africa.
And she would surround herself with starving African kids.
And the camera would focus in on the kids, and Sally Struthers off camera would be pleading at the audience to send some money.
Look at that.
How can you look at that and not be moved?
How can the insects were flying and you know, they'd be looking at live starvation.
And Kinison said, just feeder.
Just feed the kids.
You didn't go over there to starve yourself.
Your whole crew's got a boatload of food for you to eat.
Give them a sandwich.
Which resonated with me.
So I uh but I guarantee you know how this is work.
If these these these uh minor budget cuts would be portrayed as actual starvation or what other forms of death with the media there to chronicle the moment of death, with doctors there to pronounce the time of death, all of it with a picture of Bush uh or Sarah Palin up in the corner of the screen while all this was happening.
But that's what the Republicans have planned.
Not clear yesterday whether the bill would be pushed hard by leadership, though the prospect seemed unlikely, at least for the uh moment.
Other cuts in the Jordan proposal include putting the 45 billion dollars remaining in the stimulus toward deficit reduction, eliminating oh, wait a second.
Before the election, how much of the stimulus was left?
Gush.
What did I hear?
Only 65% have been spent prior to the election.
And it was roughly a trillion dollars.
So there was 300 billion unspent.
Now that we now down to 45 billion unspent after the election.
We always knew what that thing was.
It was a slush fund.
That didn't help them, did it?
Sure didn't help them.
Byron York and the Washington Times.
House Republicans began a long drive to dismantle Obamacare.
Everybody knows.
House Republicans, along with three Democrats, voted Wednesday to repeal Obamacare.
But fewer people know what those same Republicans, this time with 14 Democrats, did Thursday, yesterday.
By a vote of 253 to 175, the Republicans directed key House committees to report on ways to lower health care premiums, allow patients to keep their current health plans, increase access to coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, and decrease the price of medical liability lawsuits.
In other words, the committees are beginning work on replacing Obamacare with Republican health policies.
Repeal got a lot of press coverage, replacement got hardly any.
If they needed any reminding, Republican lawmakers are learning that controlling the levers of power in the House does not mean controlling the media narrative on health care.
Well, no kidding.
I warned them of this all the way back to 1994.
Democrats wanted to characterize repeal as draconian, ignoring the fact that uh we do have very, very positive alternatives, Representative Dave David Dreyer, uh, who is chairman of the rules committee said it's been difficult for us to get that message out there.
We said repeal and replace, and we're in the process of replacing House Republicans are pursuing a three-part strategy.
Part one repeal.
They promised to do it.
They did it.
Part two is replace, which in coming months will involve House votes and a series of GOP health care measures.
And part three, since full repeal cannot win the Senate yet, is another series of votes on measures to repeal individual parts.
And this doesn't even touch on another part of the strategy, which is to defund elements of Obamacare.
So there's a lot going on that you're not hearing about.
There's a lot going on that what you are hearing about is being misreported on.
But the Republicans are following through on their promise.
Now, twenty-six states have joined the Florida lawsuit.
Twenty-six states have joined.
A lot of people say, Well, what about the other 24?
No, it's not the other 24, it's the other 21.
Uh 31.
They're 57 states, President said so.
No, seriously, 26 states.
What happened?
What about the others?
The others are not suing the government, not because they like Obamacare.
None no state can afford it.
There's not there's not a state, Not very many that support Obamacare.
There are other vagaries and reasons why the others haven't joined the lawsuit, but just because they haven't joined the lawsuit does not mean they support Obamacare.
That's a uh a point which needs to be made.
A quick call.
Violating program format.
We throw it out the window.
We'll take a call in the opening segment here of the second hour.
Open line Friday.
John in Orlando, Florida.
Great to have you with us on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Uh, 24-7 Ditto's from Soggy, Orlando today.
Thank you very much, sir.
It's a pleasure to uh speak to you.
Um the reason I was calling, I was listening to the program earlier, and I heard you say something about something doesn't smell right with this uh uh whole birth uh certificate.
Right.
It doesn't, because the director of health out there says he's seen the birth certificate.
The governor says he wants to release it, but he can't find it.
Now it's this uh something's not anywhere near right here.
Well, it would be I'm sure that Obama and the and the left would like nothing more than to get talk radio, you and Hannity and Beck and all the rest, talking about all this stuff going on in Hawaii, sounding like a bunch of berthers, and then come back and discredit you just before or attempt to discredit you as if they could, just before the election.
No, no.
You're just a bunch of nutbags out there complaining and whining and all the rest.
Yeah, because I can't I can't imagine, I can't imagine uh Abercrombie being a free agent on this.
Abercrombie gets inaugurated governor out of the blue and says, Ah, you know what, I'm worried about this birther thing.
They may have something there.
I gotta find that birth certificate, and I'm gonna release it.
I'm gonna prove it once and for all.
Then he says, I can't find it.
Oh no, I'm in trouble.
I can't find it.
I'm really embarrassing myself here.
And that's that's the hook.
And the bait, the unsuspecting and the beguiled, are expected to chomp on that hook line and sinker and be reeled in.
I agree with you.
It's something about this is there is untruth throughout this.
If the Department of Health guy in Hawaii has seen it, and Abercrombie can't find it, and the White House is not commenting.
Yeah, I I I think I think John, you're on to something.
All right, now time for an obscene profit timeout back after this.
And we're back.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, Bellevue, Washington.
Did they still have the Darwin Awards?
You know what the Darwin Awards?
The Darwin Awards were s were given to the people that made us think our time as a species was near the end.
It's so stupid, so dumb, that it had to be breeding, and if it was the case, we're we're finished.
I don't know if they still have the Darwin Awards, but if so, here is a nomination.
Contestant.
A fire that engulfed a van in Bellevue on Wednesday was caused by the passengers filling up the van with gasoline while it was being driven.
Bellevue police investigator said the fire burned three people in the van, sent them to the hospital.
The passengers used a water bottle to transfer gas from the bucket directly into the carburetor in order to keep the engine run.
They didn't fill the fuel tank.
They poured gasoline into the carburetor from a water bottle.
The van.
Well, uh this kind of van.
I got a picture of it here, and yeah, the van can be open, but it's it's one of these vans that doesn't the hood does not cover the windshield.
You like one of those old like a VW bus.
Is what it looks like here.
It's not a VW bus, but it but it looks like a flat face, like almost like a bus kind of van.
It was the the van was filled with gasoline fumes as the three people drove east on Camber Road.
The van stalled just before 145 place southeast, and as the driver tried to restart the van, it exploded.
The van became fully engulfed in flames, started rolling backwards.
Witnesses said the woman jumped out of the back of the van, fell to the ground on fire, and then the van rolled over her leg.
Investigator said that two men jumped out of the van and ran toward the gas station.
All three people were on fire, desperately trying to put it out, investigators said.
One man made it to the gas station and tried to douse himself with water.
It's a wonder he didn't turn the gasoline hose on himself.
Given every What in the world.
Why not stop?
Get out and put the fuel in the fuel tank.
Oh no, I'm I I'm sure as far as these people are concerned, there is a perfectly legitimate reason.
Well, I have no I don't even I don't even want to speculate.
Will in Columbus Ohio open line Friday and the program now is all yours.
Hey, Rush, Megadiddos, it's quite the honor to say.
Thank you, sir very much.
Hey, uh I I just have a I agree with 99.9% of everything you cover.
I mean, you're fantastic, but where you lose me is is when you make the statement that people that get retirement checks from their pensions or what have you were nonproducers and we're paying nonproducers, and and my question would be this I mean, wasn't our count country founded on contracts?
Wait a minute.
And if you if you make a chen did I say that about pensioners, when did I say unproductive?
You're talking about when I have talked about companies who are unable to pay people who no longer work for them, like General Motors and some of these dollars.
Right, when theyalth care retirement.
And these people entered into contracts with these companies and what's the contract worth now?
Is the point I I know they went and entered into contracts, but point is they did something that's nonsensical.
You can't you can't pay people to not produce anything.
You just can't do it.
It it doesn't it it this is all gonna come imploding on you at some point.
We've just happened to reach with the.
I agree with you, but then the cup company should suffer the consequences of their bad choices, and the people that push for those contracts should suffer the consequences for their bad choices.
Well, they the bad consequence for the companies here is going out of business.
Right.
And that company here, the last bolt should be sold, and it should be paid to the people that they owe because they entered into contracts.
And so these people that are not.
Well, no, the route for that is bankruptcy, or if you're the United Auto Workers, uh it's bailout by Obama.
But right, but the way you're not talking about a recipe for getting your money.
Right, but some of the companies still exist and they continue on, and as long as they exist and are in this country, they should honor their contract.
Because people gave up their lives, Rush, to work for these companies for thirty years, so they didn't start their own businesses based on what a contract, which is the foundation of our country, based on the contract, they saw that these benefits and they believed right rightfully or wrongfully, they believed that they were going to get these benefits, they didn't start their own business.
They gave up thirty years of their life.
And so these people are entitled to anything these companies um have left.
Well, actually, in the case of Chrysler and General Motors, the exact opposite happened.
The the bondholders and the primary investors in both companies were told to take a hike that their investments were worthwhile and they were not going to be paid back.
And that's wrong.
And the pensioners, the pensioners, the United Auto Workers got their pensions upheld and their health care.
And that was wrong.
Well, but see, it's still it it happens on both sides.
And in it in either case, a company assumed an obligation, it knew down the road it wasn't going to be able to meet.
The government knew it too.
That's why the government has a division that that takes over bankrupt pensions and what pays fifty cents on the dollar in some cases.
And they and they shouldn't do that.
Why is why is the government taking over pensions?
That's because there's some corporations out there that lobbied certain Rhino Republicans that got this passed where they could take those dollars that they should have been investing in people's pensions and use them for whatever other purposes they government is taking over pensions to buy the votes of the pensioners.
Right.
So then it comes back on Congress.
It comes back on we the people who elected them, but the bottom line is the people that have the pensions do them Or due, unless the company goes bankrupt and the money's not there.
I just don't think well, our government shouldn't have been bailing out these companies in the first place.
Our government should have stayed out of it.
The problem here is, and you're not gonna like this.
I know you're not gonna like it.
I'm not trying to irritate you.
I really am not.
Trust me, Rush.
You're dead on.
We're talking about what what I'm talking about.
I don't know if you're talking about the same thing.
When I originally make this statement, I'm talking about unions, and therefore I'm not talking about contracts.
I'm talking about looting.
Well, and then who it goes back to companies have to make the decision to tell the unions no, we don't agree to this contract.
Okay, how about the contracts in Bell California pay the city manager $600,000 a year?
Totally ridiculous.
And as managers, I mean, if it gets down to the point of the case.
But should they get their money?
It's a contract.
I know.
The people that entered into those contracts should be held criminally liable.
I guess he's well, there you there you see.
I have a question for all of you who think that those contracts with all those city officials in Bell California at 500 grand a year, 400 grand a year, 600 grand.
Those are silly, right?
Those are ridiculous.
Why?
Well, I mean, who's gonna pay people that much money to run the city?
It's ridiculous.
That's no more ridiculous than making a deal to pay somebody for 20 years after they have stopped working for you and pay for their health care.
Whether you're paying the city manager of Bell California half a million dollars, or Anistas Mikoyan for 20 years full salary and benefits after he's retired.
Both are silly in the common sense ledger.
But a contract's a contract, right?
Okay, so the Bell California city manager gets his half a million dollars a year.
Contracts contract.
Backbone of America.
But Rush, but Rush, that's silly.
That's silly.
I know, no more silly than any other union deal that promises people gonna make full salary or even 80% salary and health care benefits after they've stopped working until they die.
Jeez Thank you.
Anyway, Obama.
There's a photo op in there.
Do I have the sound bite here?
Or did I throw it away?
Hang on here just a second.
I'm in one of those moods.
Half of what I see I throw away because I think I'm not interested, and then I change my mind.
Yeah, well.
Yeah, well, go ahead.
Grab some by 30.
By the way, I have, let's see, the golf channel.
Two episodes have aired, five to go.
No, six to go, two more to complete.
We have six episodes in the can.
There are two more episodes.
I got a film tape one episode two days next week, and then uh over a weekend in February, and then we'll be done.
But guess who owns the golf channel?
NBC.
Comcast NBC.
Don't be surprised if the series is canceled, particularly after today.
Here's Jeffrey ML.
Well, I've been pretty hard on this.
This is this is a joke, all this insider stuff with Obama and NBC and Melt.
Did you hear the I I still I don't know that one reading of this is sufficient.
I'm gonna go back to this.
June 29th, 2009, from an unfazed Washington Post.
General Electric, the world's largest industrial company, has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of a TART program, which was for banks.
They recategorized General Electric as a bank to get it TARP money and then subjected it to no regulations like all the other banks are subjected to.
Then there is this never-ending association between the regime and GE on green energy projects and light bulbs and stuff.
And then yesterday, Obama names the CEO of GE to his new um commission on jobs.
And and and this company gives Obama two TV news networks to further his agenda, NBC and MSNBC.
And it's just no rush, that's just coincidental.
So Obama's up there in uh Schenectady, New York, touring uh GE turbine engine manufacturing plant.
Jeffrey Immelt is up there too, and introduces Obama and some other stuff.
We're a high tech company, and that's very much the story.
We're the number one win player in the year.
And right here in this facility, we have 4,000 employees that work on power generation and water, renewable energy.
We're in the Capitol region, we are really big in the Capitol region with 7,000 employees.
We innovate with the Global Research Center.
We we build things here.
It really is an honor to welcome you here today and introduce uh uh President Obama.
I'm now honored to lead your council on competitiveness and jobs.
It's a great it's a great honor.
Gosh, why do I have this job?
Why do why is it left to me to say this stuff?
I could be on the golf course with no cameras.
I can be out there just enjoying myself.
Somebody has to say this stuff.
Where is the competitive where is the competitiveness here?
You have a one-way street.
Well, it's two ways from GE to Obama, back and forth.
Well who can compete with GE when you got this kind of a relationship with the government that they have?
Competitiveness.
Sorry, Mr. Imelt, if I don't get it.
Just on what appears plain as day here.
I where have you had to compete?
Oh, geez.
This is I I uh call GE a bank, they're not a bank.
Give them TARP money, only goes to banks, they're not a banks, and GE's a bank all of a sudden.
All the rest of this.
Anyway, Obama, this photo op up there.
Just said that the economy is growing, ladies and gentlemen.
It's growing but not fast enough to make up for the damage done by the recession.
Which, to my mind, to my fertile mind means the economy is not growing.
If the economy is growing but not fast enough to make up for the damage done by the recession, how the hell can it be said to be growing?
Within the notions of simple logic.
In fact, if you have a terribly deep recession, any growth should be that much more dramatic, shouldn't it?
We had a terribly deep recession.
We were told it was near a depression.
Now the economy's growing, but it's not fast enough to overcome.
What the hell, folks?
All of this is just gobbledygook PR blasphemy BS.
And it's all part of a re-election campaign.
I haven't heard anything more ridiculous in my life.
The economy is growing, jobs are coming back, but not fast enough to make up for the damage done by the recession.
Then we got Jeffrey Emelt talking about competitiveness when he hasn't had to compete.
I know, I know.
Snerdley is really worried in there that I'm really cruising for it.
You people might want to record this program.
If I'm here Monday, it might be a miracle.
If his program is here Monday, it might be a miracle.
The next episode of the Haney Project airs might be a miracle.
West Palm Beach, Florida.
Chris, welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Yes, hello.
Hi.
Hi, if I had a question, uh, you know, appreciate you having me on.
Um, in regards to Obama, I know I hear a lot of people talking negative um about him a lot.
And I I just want to know if if it's personal or if it's just political, because I know of people that have the same views but actually get sickened by seeing the man on TV.
Do you feel the same way?
Uh no.
I I just it's all policy with me.
I don't get sickened.
You mean seeing Obama on TV?
Yeah, but I I personally know people that they just like literally hate the man that much.
I mean, I don't know, I don't know, but I I I I like the gentleman as a as a as a human being, and I would read his books and all that, but just I don't even know him.
I none of this with me is personal.
I I don't if it when I cringe on TV, it's at the thought that a whole lot of people are listening to it and believing it all.
But uh I I I thought the polls said everybody likes Obama personally.
I didn't know there were people didn't like him.
Yeah, that's that's why I was thinking to have uh I'm sure it's a lot of people.
If I know a few people, you know, sure there's more.
Where have you been hanging around at West Palm Beach if they hate Obama?
Well, I I I don't want to uh really think, but um you know close, so just how near Belvedere Okeechobee is it?
Uh about, yes.
It is in the Lake Worth area too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, well, that makes even more sense.
But I just want you to, for me personally, this is all policy.
This is all about the future of the country.
How how old?
How old are you, Chris?
Twenty-five.
Twenty-five.
This is all about to me, this is all about your future.
I am over twice your age.
And I have I have been able to experience and and uh access the wonderful opportunities of this country.
And I I'm just I I live in fear that for people your age and younger, they aren't gonna be as plentiful, and they may not be at all if if this stuff doesn't get stopped.
Because the engine of that opportunity is freedom, entrepreneurialism, uh, liberty, creativity in the private sector, and all that's being whittled away.
It j it really not just frustrates me, it breaks my heart.
And I understand.
I I don't I don't I talk to people your age, and you're uh a lot of people your age expect things pretty quickly in life.
Uh just the way things have evolved.
And nothing really of decent quality happens quickly.
It takes a long time to achieve it in most cases.
I mean, there are exceptions.
But it's gonna take even longer uh if if some of this stuff is not stopped and rolled back.
And that's my pure thorough concern about this.
It has nothing to do with Obama as a human being, because I I don't even I don't even know him.
I have no idea what he's like to watch baseball at Kaminsky Field with.
I have I have no idea, no clue what it's like to have dinner with him or anything like that.
So none of this is based on anything personal.
Pure, pure policy.
Okay, a couple of audio sound bites uh in Schenectady in New York, which by the way is the birthplace of General Electric.
Uh here is uh Obama, another portion of his inspiring and uplifting remarks.
It's a great thing that the economy is growing, but it's not growing fast enough yet to make up for the damage that was done by the recession.
It's crazy.
Past two years were about pulling our economy back from the brink.
Yep.
The next two years, our job now is putting our economy into overdrive.
Good.
Our job is to do everything we can to ensure that businesses can take root and folks can find good jobs, and America is leading the global competition that will determine our success in the 21st century.
People at Whirlpool are saying, how the hell can we expect to sell microwave ovens and dishwashers compared to GE when they're in bed with you?
Now, this this again, you you heard him in his own words.
The great thing is the economy's growing, but it's not growing fast enough yet to make up for the damage done by the recession.
That means it's not growing.
Folks, this was bad.
This recession was bad.
Any growth.
Any growth would be a reversal.
How can you let me put it this way?
Recession, depression, lose jobs.
Economy growing, create jobs.
You're I don't care what if you create one job against all the jobs that were lost, you've got growth, but we don't have that.
We it growth equaling one job would be growth outpacing the recession.
This is nonsensical.
Think of it this way.
It's like a bold guy saying, My hair's growing, but not fast enough to replace all the hair that's falling out.
And you can spot those guys, they're the ones with the comb overs.
They're still living in fantasy land.
Just like Obama is.
Uh, here's the uh this is this is the this is the next one.
Now, this again, Obama stepped in it, doesn't even know it.
We're going back to Thomas Edison's principles.
We're gonna build stuff and invent stuff.
Now nobody understands this better than Jeff Emmel.
He understands what it takes for America to compete in the global economy.
Jeff Emmelt doesn't have to compete.
Jeff Immelt has the power of the U.S. government.
The U.S. government saw to it that GE would be reclassified as a bank so it could get TARP bailout money while it was showing a profit.
Jeff Immelt does not have to compete.
But that's not the main point of this soundbite.
I wonder how many of you caught that.
Play this again, snurdly.
Anybody in there?
This is huge.
This is the biggest laughter of the day.
Play this sound bite again.
We're going back to Thomas Edison's principles.
We're gonna build stuff and invent stuff.
Stop the tape.
We're going back to Thomas Edison's principles.
We are banning Edison's light bulb.
We are erasing uh uh Edison.
This is comical.
They're going back.
Thomas Edison's principles.
And at the same time, we're gonna get rid of that hacker light bulb.
Thomas Edison is an enemy of the environment, folks.
By definition, these guys are banning his light bulbs.
Those light bulbs have contributed to dead polar dares.
Drowning sea lions, skyrocketing temperatures around the world, record snowfall, whatever has gone out of whack.
Those light bulbs are a leading contributor to our planet's demise.
And here is our grim leader.
Hey, we're gonna go back.
Edison's principles.
While we're getting rid of Edison.
Lord help us.
And this is what passes for unparalleled, unprecedented, never before seen intelligence.
And uh rhetoric.
And the ability to articulate among the ranking members of the ruling class.
All right, who's next here?
Lakewood, New Jersey.
This is Dottie.
Dottie, great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
I have a question that no one seems to have an answer to, and my sister and I have been talking about it for several days.
Yes.
As happy as we are that um Mrs. Giffords is doing so well and going to rehab, we have not heard one word about any of the other persons who were injured, who were shot.
Uh what about these people?
Why can't we get a little update or is it just their families don't want the publicity?
Uh what people are you talking about?
Well, anyone else who was shot uh at Tucson uh that have gone into the hospital.
Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.
I'm and and we haven't heard how are they doing.
You know, I understand, you know, that she's top of the story, but at the same time, we're we're kind of worried about the other folks too.
We shouldn't just put them in the background.
Well, look, uh I have given the media more tweaks today they could possibly choose from.
How would you answer your own question?
Why are we not hearing about those people?
Because I think in the media's mind they're unimportant.
Why?
Um, because they have nothing to do with with the politics or the running of the country or anything else.
Meaning because they're not elected to office?
Yes.
That the media doesn't care about them as much.
I don't think they do, no.
Only if it's a big news story that everybody can get a hold of and blame somebody else for something else, and it's so you think you think the other people who are wounded and in recovery will not help the media advance their agenda.
Well, that's the puzzling point.
Um that might be why we have heard so little about Judge Roll.
I mean, we had a Republican judge that was killed, and we haven't haven't had much of a eulogy about this man in the media.
You're right.
You you may have a point.
None at all.
And I just feel like, well, what about uh what other ceremonies are we gonna see where people jump up and down and scream and holler as if they were at a football game?
Well, wherever Obama goes.
Well, yes.
We hope it doesn't go to the football game.
That's just m that's just wait a minute.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Somebody just whispered it in my ear where there was the one that got arrested.
Who you talking about?
Um, I just happened to make a comment that uh we're hoping that Obama does not go to the Super Bowl.
Speaking of people jumping up and down and carrying on, because that's what it appeared to be at their service, and I it just um oh well that's yeah that's we'll have to wait and see if that happens.
That's a hundred thousand people.
Uh I don't know what percentage of them are gonna go nuts in favor of Obama there.
I mean, this is after all conservative Texas, you know what that means.
Obama keeps saying, folks, that he brought the country back from the brink.
And this is now being treated as fact.
So exactly how did Obama bring us back from the brink?
What brought us back from the brink?
Stimulus, Obamacare, TARP?
What, which was Bush's, by the way.
What what brought us back from the brink?
