Time Text
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
Excellence in broadcasting.
Half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
It's always a thrill and always a delight to have you with us.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Okay, we had our last caller, Norma making the point that the problem is the Egyptian poor don't have enough money.
We've got to do a better job of distributing the wealth.
Hell with that.
We don't need to do that.
If that's a problem, why didn't Mumaric just print some money and hand it out out there at the Here Square?
If that's what the problem is, print the money, that's what we've done.
Don't smirk at me, snurdly.
That's what we've done.
What do you think of stimulus?
Do we have the money?
Did we have the money to give away to Obamas?
But we didn't.
What did we do?
We printed the money.
We printed the money to vote.
No, but the people in Obama wanted to get the money, got it.
The unions or whoever, wherever he intended that money to go, it went.
I mean, we are the model here.
How he keeps himself in office and become beloved by the same people at Haiti's guts here.
What's so hard about this?
Just print the money.
Or, you know, call up Hu Xian Tao and borrow some for crying out loud.
Offer to make the iPhone cheaper than the Gycoms do.
I don't know.
Rush, why are you being so flippant about this?
Folks, flippant.
I'm taking real world events and applying the American solution to them.
You got problems with people who have enough money?
Print it.
You give it to them and you call out a stimulus plan.
Tell people this is about getting new jobs.
This is about rebuilding roads and bridges.
This is about rebuilding our infrastructure.
This is about making sure that our country becomes modernized again.
This is about bringing employment down to eight percent.
We're gonna have a revived economy and we're gonna finish this by the time our stimulus is in pat in place, employment will be down 8%, hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created, blah blah.
Uh well, we did that.
We were told all of that.
We didn't just print trillion dollars for TARP or for porculus.
We printed a two trillion dollars for TARP and whatever else the Fed did.
We're continuing to print money, QE2, to funnel to the stock market.
And it's all for the express purpose of revitalizing our economy.
I don't know what their health care situation is over there, but if Mubarik would have just, you know, come out in favor of universal health care, but it gets coverage, keep your doctor, keep your plan, keep your whatever you have to say to him, get it passed.
He wouldn't have people in the streets.
He's got the role model of how to do all this, and he's just totally ignored it.
He sits around waiting for us to give him the money when he can just print it.
Why are we the only ones that print our money?
We don't have any.
And we not only we not only print it for us, we printed for him.
Uh a lot of other people too.
Anyway, her call is interesting and from the standpoint.
The reason I wanted to query her about, well, where are we gonna get the money?
It's a it's if you have a problem with poverty, what's the solution to it?
And I intended the question as a think piece, obviously I failed uh with with her because she had limited time to respond, and she had the passionate answers that she wanted to say.
But think about it.
If you have a problem with poverty, what is the solution to that?
Okay, creating wealth, but you gotta define that.
Uh we have had in this country a whole lot of programs to fix poverty.
We've had a great society.
We've had a war on poverty.
We have had any number of welfare programs, and I would ask you, have we reduced poverty as a as an expression or as a as a percentage of our population.
No.
Now, compared to poverty in Egypt, our poverty isn't poverty.
But compared, you know, to the standard of living in this country, we do have poverty, but not when compared to poverty in the rest of the world.
So we arguably in this country do far, far better with our underprivileged than uh many other countries do.
Why is that?
The answer is very simple, folks.
This is it's what's so frustrating about the election of Obama in the first place.
The answer is the unequal distribution of capitalism around the world.
If you want a prosperous population with robust opportunity, you have to have free markets.
You cannot have a command and control economy.
You cannot have as your as your standard operating procedure the notion that you are going to transfer from earners to non-earners, or from producers to non-producers, and create wealth.
That is not creating wealth, it's destroying it, which is all governments can do.
Governments cannot create wealth.
All they can do is destroy it.
And that is happening in this country.
I'm sure it's happened in Egypt.
I don't doubt these people at the Heri Circle are ticked off because of poverty concerns, standard of living concerns.
But they're not going to have a solution to it with just a new figurehead.
They're not going to have a if the military ends up running the show or Suleiman, somebody they're not going to have a significant change in economic circumstances until there is a significant change in economic structure.
And even then it isn't going to happen overnight.
And we can sit here all day and lament the fact that Mubarak lives in a palace and these people in the protest to live on two dollars a day.
That's not going to change tomorrow.
When Mubarak's gone.
It isn't going to change next year after Mubarak's gone.
What has to happen is an accompanying change of structure.
Free markets.
And even then, with free markets, not everybody is going to be wealthy.
Not everybody is going to be as prosperous as others.
You are still going to have gradations of it, of income and wealth.
You can divvy ours up into five quintiles, which is done for study purposes.
Bottom fifth, second fifth, third fifth, middle fifth, the top fifth, whatever.
You could divide it into tenths or quarters if you want to, but you're still going to have a disparity.
And the best efforts to make everybody the same always fail.
It's not possible.
Every effort made by command and control structure, economy, government, what have you, to equalize outcomes under the premise of fairness or whatever, dismal failure.
That primarily is what Egypt is based on.
Any socialist authoritarian country is based on the false premise that everybody's going to be equal.
Everybody's going to be the same.
Everybody's going to be comfortable.
Everybody, it never works out that way.
It all goes back to why and how did this country in 230 short years outrun, outperform every other civilization in history.
And it's the way we structured ourselves, which allowed for our true freedom, intelligence, and ambition to surface and prosper and function unimpeded for the most part.
Most people in the world do not have that basic structure in which to function.
And sadly, many people in the world don't want to take the risk.
They just as soon sacrifice a little freedom, sacrifice a little security for a guaranteed meager wage rather than take the risk, hard work or what have you, depends on how they've been conditioned.
But to sit here and say they live on two bucks a day, we have to have compassion for them.
We do.
But you just can't, you just can't start passing out money to them.
Because when do you stop?
If you start doing that, you're not changing anything.
You are prolonging the problem and actually making it worse.
The true creation of wealth, the true generation of wealth resulting in legitimate economic growth, the expansion of the pie cannot happen under an authoritarian, I don't care how well intentioned.
It cannot happen under a socialistic government.
I don't care how well intentioned.
I don't care how much compassion is behind it.
I don't care how much good intention is involved.
It is not structurally possible to grow an economic pie.
We, the United States of America, are the textbook lesson in how to do it.
And I'm amazed.
I'm amazed that there has not been, have not been greater attempts to emulate what we do.
We're surrounded by people who want to stamp us out.
We're surrounded by people who want to tamp us down.
Sadly, some of those people now are in positions of power in our own government, which is why there's a Tea Party made up of people who understand that the greatness of America is under assault.
So yeah, it sounds really good.
Oh yeah, we've got to just we have to, we have to be fairer as we distribute the wealth.
Well, somebody's got to create it first.
Somebody has to earn it before somebody else can take it and give it to somebody else.
And as long as there is an animosity and a hatred for those who do that creating of wealth, who do the generation, who do who create and grow the economy.
So long as we have people who foster a resentment and hatred for those people.
It's going to be very difficult to be constantly successful at doing it.
People don't want to feel like targets.
People doing good things, people playing by the rules, people using their natural talents, are sick and tired of being blamed.
For what other people don't have.
It's not their fault.
It's not Walmart's fault that somebody doesn't have something.
It's not the fault of anybody or company or group of prosperous people that somebody else doesn't, but the way we've set things up, it's a zero-sum game.
And if there's a bunch of rich people, it means there had to have one time been other rich people that had things stolen from them.
So the socialist communists come along and say, we're gonna we're gonna equalize, we're gonna take these people that took your money in the first place.
We're gonna get it back.
But you never get it back because you never had it in the first place.
Because the whole premise that you've been stolen from, robbed, or what have you is flawed.
And it's a it's a message and a premise put forth by shameless politicians who have tried their best to convince people just vote for me, vote for me, and I'll end your poverty, or I'll end your misery, or I'll I'll end your unhappiness.
And I'll make sure these people stealing from you these unfair people taking stay stop that.
I'm gonna get it back for you.
I'll make sure everything's okay.
Never works out, does it?
You end up with Egypt.
Every single time.
So, yeah, it's frustrating to get somebody calling, well, you need to give them some more money.
We just transfer more money.
That's the Yeah, immediately it is, but unless they figure out a way to produce it for themselves and make it long-lasting and systematic and institutional, it isn't gonna matter a heel of beans.
I gotta take a brief time out here, my friends.
We will do that.
We'll come back and continue in uh in mere moments.
Rush Limbaugh at the whoa.
Wait a minute now.
CNN, Egypt's infoministry Mubarak is not leaving.
Fox says Egyptian official say Mubarak stepping down.
CNN says Mubarg, I knew Snurdly, I, you know, it's it's easy for somebody to sit here and say, I told you so, but from the moment this program starts, I would like to go back and see if I made it clear in the first hour of this program, but I'm not convinced this is happening.
Mubarak Not leaving.
All these reports.
We don't know now whether that's true or not.
Meanwhile, where's Obama?
He's at a candy store in Wisconsin signing copies of his book.
Does he run around with copies of his book in case people want a signed copy?
Okay, well, we gotta constantly keep up with things that are breaking and happening as the program unfolds before your very eyes.
Sit tight, we'll be right back with more after this.
Well, now we sweeten the pot a little bit.
Reuters with a story that the uh Muslim Brotherhood not happy with what's happening here.
The Muslim Brotherhood thinks this is a military coup that's taking place over there.
They don't like that.
They want to run the show, not the military.
And now the Muslim Brotherhood has a spokesman in the Reuters story.
I'm gonna read this very quickly if I got this right.
The problem is not with Mubarak as far as the Brotherhood is concerned, it is with the regime in total.
And that's uh that's the problem is uh is not with Mubarik, it is with the regime.
That isn't al-Aryah of the Brotherhood, which is banned, seen as Egypt's biggest organized opposition group.
I feel worry and anxiety.
This looks like a military coup.
The problem's not with the president, it is with the regime.
Well, now that adds clarity, doesn't it?
CNN's still reporting he's not going anywhere.
They're the only ones, every all the other networks.
Mubarak to meet protesters' demands, Mubarak to step down.
Egyptian officials say Mubarik will leave.
Mubarak will be flogged at dawn.
Mubarak march to the sea in change.
Mubarik dead and buried as of noon Saturday.
CNN says he's not going.
Meanwhile, back to the phones.
Toby in Miami, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
It's such an honor to talk to you.
So I think the reason the media are, you know, have it in for Mubarak is because he does recognize Israel and most Arab countries don't.
And I think they take it as like normal and expected that of course the Arab Street is anti-Israel.
And all these years I've always talked about all these supposed, you know, the human rights violations that Israel is getting.
Wait, wait, wait, hang on, just wait, wait, wait, wait, just a second.
You're you're going faster than I can understand.
Are you saying that Mubarik likes Israel and the street doesn't?
Is that what I heard you say?
Right.
I think that's how the media understand it.
I mean, Mubarak doesn't really like Israel, but at least Egypt has been at a cold peace with Israel as opposed to war.
They they do have, you know, diplomatic relations.
And I think the media are assuming that the man in the street in Egypt, like real Muslims, real Arabs are naturally not going to want it to have relations with Israel.
And that's like to the media, that's normal and expected and right.
And it's somehow anti-democratic that the Egyptian government recognizes Israel.
Yeah, but what about you?
What do I want?
Yeah, what do you want?
Well, I I want Magav to stay in office, or if he doesn't, I'd like to see you know a government in power there that that continues to recognize.
You want Mubarak to stay in office because of his relations with Israel, right?
Right, because as Arabs go, he is moderate.
And the fact is we haven't had a war with Egypt in all these years.
All right.
Okay, so we've got a bunch of different reasons here.
Mubarak's gotta go because he's too cozy with Israel.
Mubarak's gotta go because the mob's hungry and doesn't have enough money.
The Muslim Brotherhood saying, hey, by the way, it ain't just Mubarak, it's this whole stinking regime.
And if you don't get rid of all of them, we ain't going away.
That's what the Muslim Brotherhood's saying.
Yeah, baby.
So we got clarity here.
This gets foggier and foggier.
Uh, if I'm reading this right, Egyptian run state TV is denying that uh uh Mubarik's going anywhere.
Egyptian State Run TV is denying that Mubarak will step down.
The Wall Street Journal is also reporting what CNN is reporting as information minister's denial that Mubarak will step down.
So what do we have here?
We have, ever since this program started at noon, Mubarak's gone.
He's going to make a speech within a half hour to an hour.
He's going to split the scene.
We got tanks and barbed wire fence outside the palace where he's going to make the remarks.
Then he's going to go.
Then we have other say no, he's not leaving.
Foreign ministry says he's not leaving, backed up by CNN in the Wall Street Journal.
And then a Muslim Brotherhood pipes of, hey, wait a minute now, we got a military coup going on here, and we're not happy about that.
And if if it ain't gonna matter if we just get rid of Mubarak.
It's this whole regime that we don't dig, and if you don't get rid of the whole regime, then we're not happy here.
Uh that that would mean uh Suleiman is not the VP is not approved by the uh Muslim Brotherhood.
Now, CNN is quoting an American official which says Egypt Vice President Suleiman will take power.
CNN is reporting that Egypt's information ministry is saying that Mubarak is not leaving.
So somehow I I just uh Yeah, it's from CNN, the Egyptian information minister denies that President Hasnibubarak is stepping down, State TV reported.
Uh this is well, i the if the crowd has been told by the military guy that your demands are going to be met tonight, that you're gonna get what you want tonight,
and now if if if all of that's bogus, okay, before we get back to this Egypt business, we're talking here about um printing money, wasting money, spending money that we don't have.
The Republicans are talking about talking about cutting spending, cutting the budget, finding areas of the budget that are laced with fat, easy to cut.
Get this.
This is from Tom Coburn's website, Senator Oklahoma.
A financial audit of the Department of Health and Human Services reveals concerning findings for fiscal year 2010.
The nonpartisan analysis of an audit conducted by Ernst and Young on the balance sheets of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for FY 2010 was included in HHS's FY 2010 agency financial report dated November 15th last year.
Here are the results of the audit, some of the results of the audit.
Health and Human Services not in compliance with federal financial management law.
Nearly two billion taxpayer dollars are stuck in limbo as of September 30th, 2010.
The audit identified approximately 102,500 transactions, totaling an approximate 1.8 billion dollars that were more than two years old without activity.
Now, what would those be?
Well, can only guess.
But imagine you're one of these people that gets paid by a hundred people.
You've got a check here, a check there, a check there, and you put them all in a drawer, and you forget half of them.
And a couple years go by and you still haven't cashed them or deposited them.
Now you might not be able to relate to that.
I don't know.
What do you mean?
People sending me money, I wouldn't put it in the bank.
I don't know.
I mean, here you're you're dealing with amounts of money that are so large.
If you're if you if you're dealing uh people paying you a million and a half here, a million and a half there, and you get a 10,000 dollar check.
Ah, screw it, I'll put it in a drawer for a while, forget about it.
Uh the point is here that there are 102,500 such transactions out there that have not people have been written checks that they've not cashed, that they've not done anything with.
Two billion dollars in limbo.
It must mean that the money wasn't necessary.
If we've spent it, if we've given it out, and the people who received it don't need it, or what have you.
Nearly $800 million in the HHS budget could not be explained.
Differing between HHS's records and Treasury Department records, based on our review and discussions with management, we noticed differences of $794 million that could not be explained.
Some processes and procedural manuals have not been updated since the 1980s.
Current health and human services personnel need training to complete their day-to-day responsibilities.
So there are billions of dollars unaccounted for in the HHS budget.
Anybody with a brain, folks, anybody with the brain knows that in a budget of three trillion dollars.
Three trillion, we can't comprehend it.
There's no way we ought to be broke.
Three trillion dollars.
I tell you, the number of freeloaders, the number of people we have feeding off the taxpayers, the number of institutions we have feeding off the taxpayers, the number of people not doing a damn thing or doing very little.
It's called work and being paid for it.
If a true audit, if a true audit of the entire federal budget were ever done, there'd be a revolution in this country.
I guarantee you, what's happening in Egypt would be happening here.
There would be barbarians at the gate if there were an audit of this entire federal budget for the last ten years alone.
You would be stunned at where money is being spent, and then to be told we don't have enough for firemen or for cops or not for education or what all these so-called essentials are, you would be you would be blown away when you found out who's getting all this money.
It's akin to when they found out janitors in New York City were making $400,000 a year and own yachts.
Sixty minutes to the expose.
Bill in Bailey, Michigan.
Hello, and welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Russ.
Hi.
Um what I'm interested in is first of all, I'm interested in this country.
And what I think is uh Israel runs this country and along with you.
And also what I think is well, really you think you think Israel you think Israel runs the country along with me.
Yes.
Okay.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
Um first of all, Bush went into Iraq and you know, took that country over and upset a balance between Saddam Hussein and Iran.
Right.
And that's why we're having problems with Iran now.
Hmm.
Okay.
Okay.
So Bush goes into Iraq, gets rid of Hussein, and that's why we got problems at all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know you're you're, you know, you you say Hussein should have been there and all this.
No, I didn't say that at all.
No, I'm trying to, I'm not I'm not yet disputing.
I don't I uh I'm still trying to comprehend, I'm trying to understand.
You uh uh make sure that I'm hearing what you're saying.
Yeah, I'm saying what I'm saying is that uh you're altruistic saying uh Saddam Hussein shouldn't have been you know oppressing that country, but I'm thinking about this country, my country, the country I went into service for, the thinker I fought for, okay.
Well, why why did Israel tell Bush to invade Iraq?
Israel didn't tell Bush to invade Iraq.
What uh what am I missing?
Well, you're missing that that we evaded Iraq because Israel had to ask us if they didn't want to go and invade Iran uh Iraq, we had to ask us to do it, and Bush did.
Well, no, you we we spend a lot of money.
we is we spend more money for Israel than any country in the world, plus technology, okay.
Well, but you just said that Israel you says that Israel runs this country.
So I'm I'm uh I'm under that rubric or umbrella if we invade Iraq, Israel is no no, I said Israel wants you.
Oh, oh, I I miss it.
Not this country, you I run the country and Israel runs me.
No, you don't run the country.
Israel wants you.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Um and second of all, um, if we would not have done that, we would not have the problems with the have Iran now, okay.
Uh okay.
I'm just I'm listening.
If if if uh if we hadn't invaded Iraq and got rid of Saddam, we would have no problems with Iran.
Well, exactly, yeah.
We wouldn't have the problem.
But what is our problem with Iran?
Iran is um actually uh, you know, there are Shiites, they're Shiites and Yeah, but what's our problem with them?
The problem is they're you know, they're gonna make uh bombs.
I guess, as far as I know, to uh nuclear bombs.
Right.
And they're only doing this because we got rid of Saddam in Iraq.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I just want to make sure we're all following.
Right.
Um because Saddam Hussein was a balancing factor between Iran and Iraq.
You understand that?
So Joe Wilson was right.
What?
Joe Wilson was right.
Joe Joe Wilson has nothing.
This is me.
I'm you know, I'm seventy years old.
I know what's happening.
Rumsfeld and Cheney were hob knocking with uh Saddam Hussein because of the oil.
The oil was supposed to pay for this war.
No, that they were not Hobnobbing.
No, wait a second.
We did have we did have an allied relationship with Iraq in the uh early eighties, in the early eighties during Iran and their eight-year war with Iraq.
Our our our best and brightest mind said that of these two countries we would hope that Iraq would prevail in a war between the two.
So we did we did align with uh with uh uh Saddam Hussein in the early days of the Well, according to Wolf-Wells and uh Pearl, the the Iraq war was supposed to pay with their oil, with with Iraq's oil to pay for this rump, this war.
And it never happened.
Well, plus they didn't give us our nerve gas back.
I don't care about the nerve gas.
Now, what does this have to do with Egypt?
Is there a bridge?
Yes, there is.
All right, what's it?
Because they see what happened in Iraq and they see what happened.
Uh Egypt and all over the Arab countries.
They're thinking that we have no power.
That's what this has to do with Egypt.
Okay.
All right.
I'm I'm totally clear on all this.
Except how Israel runs me.
Well, you know, um, what network are you on?
I'm on the EIB network.
Okay, who runs that?
I do.
You do?
Yes.
All right.
Well, maybe Israel doesn't run you, but um, oh, are you saying that the this is this is the Jews own the media uh uh business, and that's since so therefore we have to be loyalty to the owners of the media?
Yeah, business is business, right?
Oh, I see, okay.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
That's that's that's not me.
That's other people.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, that's I I whatever you say, you know.
No, I'm telling you, they're the the Israel does not have a stake in the uh in the EIB network.
Okay, fine.
Air America, it's another story, but not here.
It always happens.
We get uh calls like we've had two or three of them today.
Rush, why are you taking these calls?
What are you finding these people?
Why are you wasting our time, folks?
These are your Democrat voters.
This is the American left.
This we're doing a service here in helping you to understand who they are.
How they think.
What it is that motivates them and inspires them.
They are your countrymen.
Here's Bobby from the New Jersey Turnpike, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Russ, uh, what a pleasure to talk to you again.
Uh I'm I'm happy you didn't put me on right after that guy.
My head was still spinning.
Thank you, sir.
Um but uh I just wanted to to congratulate and uh thank you for your speech at CPAC in 2009.
I uh I watched it in its entirety again last night, and it was um it was uh incredible to watch your sense of confidence and your patience in reaffirming what conservative conservatism is and what it should be and what it could mean and how that speech really laid the foundation for what has transpired over the last two years.
Uh um you know that I'm I'm glad that you glad you reminded me that 2009 were it's either the second or or or third anniversary of that speech.
CPAC speech right that that CPAC speech, I mean that that was given within three weeks of two weeks of Obama's immaculation.
That's correct.
And at that time there wasn't there wasn't a dry eye in conservatism.
Everybody was in tears, and everybody's heads were hung low, and everybody thought we were destined for the wilderness for generations.
You really couldn't tell that from from watching you go.
I mean, you're uh Well, that's my point.
That's my point everything was tremendous.
Well, I'm glad thank you very much.
That was a um that was a fun day.
That that went on for an hour and twenty minutes.
I was supposed to go for 45 minutes, and during one of the uh sustained periods of applause, the uh CPAC people say, look it, can you keep going?
Uh there's another 45 minutes to be fine.
I said, sure.
So we uh yeah, we had a room all night.
They said we don't have to get out of here till ten o'clock.
So I'm glad you mentioned maybe we'll uh we'll we'll make that because this CPAC is um their their convention's happening now.
What what prompted you to go back and watch it?
I just uh you know the fact that CPAC was coming on again and and uh I remember watching that and uh sort of applauding to myself and my family at home at the time and and uh really sort of getting a charge from it because it was darkest sort of times for everybody uh that that believes like we do, and it really was the start of how things turn around.
You made a couple of mentions that were kind of interesting knowing how things have unfolded since.
Uh you mentioned, you know, uh the couple of tea parties that had popped up and and I guess uh the guy on CMBC had uh Santelli had mentioned you know, or had his little rant uh shortly before your speech, etc.
And and uh the healthcare thing hadn't fully unfolded, and and it was interesting to see um, you know, in context of history, and I true truly believe that it was a historic speech and um tremendously important for our country, and and I I'm tremendously happy to be able to be on and thank you for it and and congratulate you.
It was tremendous accomplishment.
Thank you very much.
No teleprompter, of course, as well.
No.
Your your first address to the nation is.
That's right.
First national address, my first address to the nation without a teleprompter to boot.
Exactly right.
Thank you very much.
You have made my day.
I had um I'd forgotten it till he mentioned it.
I mean, it's not something I think about every day, but it was fun.
It was a um you know something interesting.
We're driving into town, you know, Catherine's with me in the back of the car being being driven into town, and I had no idea what I was gonna talk about.
I never do.
This is why I really don't like doing speeches, because I'm I never plan them.
I don't even outline them in my head.
I always wait because I know sometime right before I'm gonna start, I'm gonna get some inspiration.
Something, some giant spark is gonna be ignited.
And driving into town is when I had the idea.
I looked at Catherine, you realize what this is.
This is my first address to the nation.
And we started laughing about that.
So that's that that's what I used as the as the foundation for the whole thing, and that gave me my mindset about what the speech was.
Okay, here's an address.
I'm addressing the nation at this point in time about, and that's what that's what unlocked the deep dark secrets of knowledge in my mind as to what I wanted to talk about.
And I'm I'm sweating, I'm driving into town, I don't know what I'm gonna talk about.
I cannot, it's it's it's it's it's I I do not have the the what all it ability, talent, or whatever.
I cannot sit here and write a speech and I'm gonna give tomorrow night, next weekend, or whatever.
I just can't do it.
When I sit down to write, my brain freezes.
I lose half my knowledge or my my ability to recall half my knowledge.
I lose half my vocabulary.
Sit there, the first error I make on the typewriter computer keyboard, I stop to correct it, train the thoughts gone.
So I I hope and pray every time I'm supposed to do a speech that I get that spark.
I do.
It it's touch and go.
I'll bet you I lose 15 pounds in the one hour before a speech in nervous energy because I don't know what I'm gonna talk about.
I'm sitting there waiting for the spark.
And I got that one driving in about 45 minutes before I was to give it.
Yeah, Mr. Rockefeller.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They they do.
They think it's the Jews.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's working working perfectly, sir.
Uh no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
I really do.
See you next meeting.
No, no, no, they really do.
They think it's the Jews.
I just had to, you'll have to hear it.
I'll send you the tape.
