| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Yeah, folks, if you're on hold on the phones out there, once again, I beg you to stay.
You're on hold for reason.
We want to talk to you.
I appreciate your patience.
We'll get to your calls.
El Quico in this hour.
It is the one and only Rush Lindbaugh program, the EIB network, the most.
Listen to radio talk show in the country and around the world.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on a program is 800-282-2882, the email address, Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
It's true, it's true, it's true.
Most of the American public, especially the segment of the populace that listens to this program, are far more informed about the events going on in this country and around the world than your average reporter is.
That's the key.
They're all living in past narratives and news templates and so forth.
Yeah, Republicans want to cut social security.
Republicans hate women and children.
Republicans create homelessness.
Republicans created people with age.
Republicans don't care.
Republicans cold hearted, mean extremists.
And all we have to do is position things so that that uh becomes apparent again, and the Democrats win big.
This is what they think.
Hence all of the efforts here to portray Republicans as these draconian budget cutters.
But again, eight hundred billion dollars.
Stimulus, porcupist, what have you?
Eight hundred billion dollars.
Far as the media is concerned, hey, no problem.
In fact, hey, that's real compassion.
That was Obama putting the country back to work, shovel ready jobs, rebuilding the infrastructure.
We had all kinds of stimuli before that.
We had TARP.
We've had any number of financial stimulus acts.
This budget deficit, projected now to be 1.6 trillion dollars.
And yet, we're told Obama is going to cut the deficit in half in ten years.
800 billion dollars in what turned out to be no stimulus?
No problem.
100 billion dollars in budget cuts is an absolute disaster.
A cold hearted trick.
A mean spirited maneuver by the Republicans.
Come on, media, get real.
100 billion dollars is chump change.
Spending or cuts, but particularly cuts.
You want to try to create the narrative that a hundred billion dollars is going to lead to mass death, sickness, irreversible economic damage without calculating the very economic damage done to this country by this regime and this president.
You really think you can get away anymore with positioning a hundred measly billion dollars as utter destruction of the United States of America?
If eight hundred billion dollars in stimulus spending did not help the economy, how can one hundred billion dollars in cuts hurt it?
You're still 700 billion ahead of the game for crying out loud.
Take a hundred billion dollars away from the stimulus.
You still got 700 billion dollars in new spending, and you dare tell us about cuts.
There aren't any cuts.
There are meager reductions in the insustainable rate of growth.
Come on, media, you're better than this.
Actually, they're not.
I just thought I'd say it.
I'm mistaken.
The media isn't better than this.
And that is the real cry and shame.
Well, what are you?
What do we get?
You you you can ask what we got from the stimulus.
You might also ask, what exactly do we get for our 3.7 trillion dollars for the entire federal budget?
Besides defense, which is the one thing the Democrats want to do away with.
Name one thing you get from the federal government.
Remember the post office isn't part of it.
Well, clearly there are things that's being spent on something.
People are giving ethanol subsidies, farm subsidies, any number of people being subsidized here.
But what are we getting for this?
As a nation, where's the boom?
Where are all the jobs?
Where's this prosperity?
Where's this new alignment?
Where's all this magic?
Where are all the green jobs?
Where's this revolutionary new energy economy?
Where is all this?
What are we getting for this spending?
Zilch.
Zero.
Nada.
Well, so poor old Jay Carney, first day on the job, his creditability's down the toilet.
Yeah, we stand by the budget.
Well, that's helpful.
You know, we have a game here we play now and then called How Gullible Are You?
Time for a new season of How Gullible Are You?
Do you believe inflation is under control even after you pay your food bill and fill up your gas tank?
Do you believe the unemployment rate is only 9% when the regime explains it's seasonally adjusted?
Do you believe the Obamacare program will cut costs and improve services, even though your own doctor denies it and is thinking of quitting?
Do you believe Obama's stimulus created millions of jobs and tons of shovel-ready projects?
Do you believe that $800 billion in stimulus created a massive economic boom and employment, the likes of which the country hasn't seen, but that 100 billion dollars in marginal budget cuts will destroy people's lives.
After all, we're still 700 billion dollars ahead of the game after these 100 billion dollars of cuts.
Do you believe Obama is fiscally responsible?
You believe Obama wants to be fiscally responsible.
Do you believe Obama intends to ever be fiscally responsible?
Clearly, the answer to all those questions is no.
And what are we faced with?
We get stories about how Obama is setting traps for the Republicans.
Obama has set traps for the country.
Obama has set traps for the United States.
Lots and lots of traps.
Washington whispers, U.S. News and World Report, the IRS says that it will need 1,054 new auditors and staffers and new facilities at a cost of more than 359 million dollars this year, just to watch over the initial implementation of the unconstitutional affordable care.
And among the new core corps, C O R P S 81 workers.
IRS wants 81 additional workers assigned to make sure tanning salons pay their new 10% excise tax.
These 81 new employees will cost 11.5 million dollars.
IRS wants 81 new agents to monitor tanning salons, 11.5 million.
The Affordable Care Act will require additional resources to build new information technology systems, modify existing tax processing systems, provide taxpayer outreach and assistance services, make enhancements to notices, collections, and case management systems to address and resolve taxpayer issues timely and accurately, and conduct focused examinations to encourage compliance of the newly released IRS budget.
In its request, the IRS explained that the tax changes associated with health reform, a huge implementation of the Affordable Care Act presents a major challenge to the IRS, said the IRS.
The Affordable Care Act represents a largest set of tax law changes in more than 20 years, with more than 40 provisions that amend the tax laws.
This is from the IRS.
The requests, however, are just beginning.
The new health care program is evolving, it won't be fully implemented until 2014.
This is just one year's request from the IRS.
11.5 million dollars for 81 agents to monitor tanning salons just for this year.
It'll go up as new elements are implemented.
And all the while we're talking about something that's been vacated by a federal judge.
We're talking about something which is unconstitutional.
The detailed IRS budget spells out exactly what most of the new workforce will be doing.
For example, some eighty-one will be tasked just to handle a tax reporting of 25,000 tanning salons.
They face a new 10% excise tax on indoor tanning services.
Another 76 employees will be assigned to make sure businesses engaged in making and importing drugs pay their new fee, which is expected to deliver 2.8 billion to the Treasury in 2012 and 2013.
The new health care core will also require new facilities and computers.
Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, who's become a point man uh in this budget battle, told the U.S. News and World Report that the president's irresponsible budget empowers the IRS to begin to audit Americans' health care.
As the IRS says Obamacare represents the largest set of tax changes in more than twenty years.
Adding hundreds of new jobs and millions of dollars to the IRS is not going to make care better, health care better, it's or more available for anybody.
Basso says that he will continue to fight to repeal and replace Obamacare with patient-centered reforms that help the private sector, not the IRS, create more jobs.
Here's a brief summary from Barrasso himself.
The IRS will have to hire thousands of Washington bureaucrats to implement Obamacare measures.
We've talked about tanning tax.
Uh eighty-four full-time employees at almost 10 million dollars to strengthen oversight of exempt hospitals.
100 full-time new employees cost 35 million for new health care coverage information reporting, whatever the hell that is.
150 new full-time IRS agents at a cost of 22 million to assist taxpayers in understanding the new provisions.
Not complying, just understanding.
150 new agents to help us understand the unconstitutional affordable care act.
And 15 million dollars for changes to the call center.
The 800 line where you call to have your questions answered.
And it's the IRS budget request to implement the Affordable Care Act for just this year alone.
Your phone calls are coming next.
Don't go away.
Well, MSNBC is on the case.
Their cameras are in Wisconsin.
F. Madison protesting or chronicling the protests of the governor there, Scott Walker.
If you look, the original news report said hundreds had gathered to protest.
Now the hundreds have become thousands in print reports.
They just showed a picture of the mob gathered outside the state capitol protest.
Well, I know it's lunchtime there.
It's 20 minutes after 12, but it's also not thousands.
Don't doubt me.
All right.
We go to the phones.
As promised, we're going to start Columbus, Ohio.
This is Kevin.
Welcome, sir.
I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the program.
Thanks a lot.
And I just wanted to thank you for all you do.
Um you expose every day to me.
How racist and seditionist.
Anti-government, domestic terrorists, all of that.
You guys, man, I just it's unbelievable.
It really is.
That you can have so much hatred for uh president.
That just happens to be black, but I think that even makes it that much more delicious to you guys.
Okay, let's for the fun of it here.
Uh racist seditionist, anti-government, domestic terrorists.
I expose every day.
Who's every talking about?
Who am I talking?
What who am I exposing?
You're exposing all the people that listen to your program with some of their comments.
Some of your com well, actually most of your comments are that way.
Even with your little, I guess you want to call it satire, you guys hide behind that line when it's racism, actually, you'll say satire.
Like what do you give me an example?
Give me an example out there, Kev.
What what do you what are you referring to?
Okay, all of your little commercial breaks or whatever, you're all your little songs.
It always seems to be some Negro dialect you got going there.
And it's not even that funny.
That's why I say what Negro dialect and what satire?
Well you just played three or four in a row.
You got whoever's supposedly is Obama singing those songs, whatever.
And only heard McCain in there and that's only because you don't like him.
But I never hear anybody from your side doing anything.
I mean I don't ever hear that.
You don't ever pitch with them.
You just always one side it hire somebody supposed to believe you're fair and balanced when it's that way.
I mean I listen to you a lot there and that's all I ever hear.
I've I've never said that I'm fair or balanced.
Well I know you never say it because you couldn't say that but you just I guess Fox is must be the same way.
They never they're not really either right what is hey Kevin what is let's see if we can isolate this.
Okay.
Because I really want to know um do you read the New York Times you sound like people there's not from New York and I'll read No you don't have to be from New York here read the New York Times in Oshkosh if you want to it's called the internet or do you do you read it and post comments there.
No sir I never have you wonder why I don't criticize people I like no I didn't say that at all.
I said even whether you like them or not if they do something that maybe is not right or whatever I never hear you criticize them.
Like who that's what I'm saying that's why it's like who you don't do it.
You have people messing up all the time what about Sarah Palin what about Michelle Bachman what about some of the crazy statements they make what do you want to never say a word give me an example of some crazy thing.
Just give me a crazy thing Sarah Palin said to do is uh pull her up anything she says to me really is kind of crazy.
No no no you're gonna give me an example of it and you know what I've noticed this tactic too whenever I talk to a right wing person the first thing they want to do is deflect the question you asked them by asking you a question.
I'm not deflecting anything I I'm I'm um I'm trying to find out exactly what it is that you think Sarah Palin said that is stupid oh so you don't think anything she said is dumb huh?
Okay I see this is what I mean you don't have anything everything she said is um very intelligent and and it's correct that what you believe right what about okay let's just go back when she first came out what about seeing Alaska from or seeing Russia from her backyard do you think that was stupid or not she never said it's my God this is the well hey it's my God too so watch it.
Well you don't act like that she never said it never Kevin I I look at I have the audience would agree here that I have uh been very fair and bound I have given you I have given you so much opportunity to be specific about your complaints and you can't do it.
I mean, you want to call me a racist.
Yeah, I think it's amazing.
The president proposes a budget.
Even the Washington Post is saying the president punted on the budget.
Even members of his own party question the budget.
Foreign governments are questioning the budget because it's an outrageous run on our treasury, a threat to future generations.
And you call here and tell me that I say it's racist.
You are, it's a shame.
We've lost your walking cliche.
partly responsible for the for the problem this country's in because you are willingly ignorant you willingly keep yourself stupid and ignorant and uninformed and you run around and live in your political cliched world and you unwittingly are Contributing to the problem that we've got by not getting up to speed and understanding what's really going on.
The people that I assume you support are actively destroying whatever opportunity you might have to make something of yourself someday, if that opportunity still remains for you, an open question.
That's anyway.
Kevin, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
Waited an hour and a half, ladies and gentlemen, uh, to use his EIB broadcast time in this fashion.
He waited an hour and a half.
Now, no, he doesn't have a point.
His point is that I mean his point is that his problem is I'm right.
It bothers him I'm on the air being right because it challenges his worldview, so he's got to call in and try to dero isomy.
That's what he's trying to do.
Now keep in mind, I have questioned Pelosi, and over the years I've questioned Kennedy, Carrie, Cuomo, on and on.
I've questioned the policies and philosophies of whomever holds office, whomever is proposing policies that conflict with my views of freedom, the Constitution, the rule of law, but this caller insists on making this racist.
He has nothing substantive to say about anything, which is to be expected.
Because whenever the left is faced with a direct confrontation on their views, they don't have any.
They can only resort to deceit and lies and all these cliched accusations.
Racism, ageism, sexism, starving children, hating aliens, on and on and on.
He said not a single substantive thing.
Not one, despite my compassion.
Despite my guidance, I attempted to guide him into something substantive.
Okay.
But you just heard the definition of mind numbed on this program.
You know, Candor, folks, callers like this last guy who make me question the whole concept of evolution.
How can there be evolution?
Where doesn't logically compute with me.
But now and then it serves a purpose for this kind of stuff to happen.
I mean, this budget, this president's actions are going to harm the country, and that means everybody in it, regardless of race, regardless of sex, regardless of party, regardless of IQ.
The only blessing, I guess, having no IQ is you won't know how screwed you've been.
Who's next?
Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
This is John.
Thank you for calling, sir.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor to talk to you.
I've been listening to you since before you had a toll-free number.
Well, yeah, we did.
I remember we did not have a toll-free number when we started.
Yes.
The reason I'm calling was to add on to what you said earlier about we added 200,000 new bureaucrats in Washington.
And John Boehner says on uh cut on cutting that they if some people lose their jobs, then so be it.
So be it.
While Nancy Baloney turned around and took uh bits and pieces of it, made it sound like he was talking about the general public, and said, uh maybe uh her quote, maybe so for you know, so be it for him, but not for the people who are losing their jobs.
She made no mention that it was bureaucrats.
And that just ticked me off so much I was just aggravated beyond.
It's the same thing.
You remember uh how the Democrats uh took Newt Gingrich out of context when he was talking about Medicare, and they claimed that he would uh he wanted Medicare to wither away on the vine.
And it and they made a TV commercial out of it, and it was not at all what he was talking about.
Look at all what what you heard Pelosi say, the nude example I gave you, is uh more evidence that there's not a shred of honesty associated with liberalism.
They can't be honest about what they believe, they can't be honest about their agenda, and they have to lie about ours.
Pure and simple.
And that's what Pelosi was doing.
They're at their wit's end.
They're trying to recapture power using an old playbook and an old series of templates.
Here's what Pelosi said, by the way.
She said, just today, Speaker Boehner said that if jobs are lost as a result of Republican spending cuts, so be it.
So be it Democrats do not subscribe to Speaker Boehner's verdict that if jobs are lost in this continuing resolution, so be it.
Maybe so be it for him, but not so be it for the people who are losing their jobs.
Instead, we support Obama's budget to out-innovate, out-educate, and outbuild the rest of the world.
There is no such thing in Obama's budget as any out anything.
The only thing we're outdoing is out debting anybody else, including the uh Western European social democracies.
But he was talking about see the thing that she's leaving out here, and it's pretty important.
Since Obama was inaugurated, 200,000 federal workers have been hired.
200,000 bureaucrats have been hired.
Bahner simply says, look, if some of these people lose their jobs as a result of trying to get the budget under control, so be it.
What Miss Pelosi, how many millions of Americans have lost their jobs because of your policies over the years and Obama's for crying out loud.
Your policies have led to unemployment.
And if not by design, then it's even worse.
It's by virtue of stupidity.
So they create this mess.
The mess has to be fixed.
The people that roll up their sleeves and try to fix it are going to be tarred and feathered as the mean-spirited extremists.
Part and parcel.
As I say, it's the same page from the same playbook over and over and over again.
There's a difference this time.
The general public is far more informed and educated than even Pelosi is about what's going on in this country.
They are far more educated about what the Constitution says than his Pelosi.
They are far more informed than average journalists are about what is happening in this country.
Some people, you know, we we've had people who work for government who call here.
These 200,000 jobs that uh that Obama created in the federal government are high level jobs.
Obama's out there hiring top-level bureaucrats.
Pelosi claimed being unemployed is great for the economy.
Remember that?
She talked about unemployment benefits being a great boon.
Unemployment benefits stimulate economic activity.
Remember that.
So why is she worried that some people might lose their jobs?
It was Pelosi running around saying unemployment is good.
Because unemployment benefits are paid.
Unemployed benefits allow entrepreneurs, artists don't have to worry about health care and benefits associated with jobs now.
They can go ahead and sit in their pajamas in the basement and draw on their canvases and be totally creative and not have to worry about anything.
So unemployment was good.
Unemployment compensation was great.
It was an economic stimulus.
It freed the creative juices.
And now all of a sudden, she's dead set opposed to it.
Well, we know the answer to all this is every bit of what she says is calculated political garbage.
Kelly Yanogdan, Utah.
Hi.
Glad you waited.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you very much, Rush.
I've been listening since 1989.
Appreciate that very much.
I want to uh I just want everybody to remember out there that you are the one who said Obama's presidency would be the second Carter term.
The only thing I would disagree is that may be an underestimate estimation because I don't think anybody guessed it would be this ugly.
So I started calling him Jimmy Obama or Barack Carter.
I don't know which it is.
Worse.
Exactly right.
The only thing they're out doing is Carter.
And there's just there's no good's gonna come out of this.
Well, it's a it's it's I look, I did say it's the second term of Carter, but there's there's a big difference.
Carter.
This is a benefit of the doubt.
Carter was just a bumbling fool.
This guy's not.
This guy's not a bumbling fool.
I don't I don't care what it is.
This guy may be naive on certain things, but this is not.
This is not the result of flawed good intentions.
Jimmy Carter just mumbling around, you know, he.
And he still is bumbling around.
Well, uh yeah, not saying he's not mean.
I'm not but but but there's a difference in these two guys.
The only point is, and I also want to I want to say this to you, Kelly.
Uh I did.
I knew I it doesn't sound classy to say this.
I knew it was gonna be why do you think I was running around saying I hope he fails.
I know where these kind of policies take us.
I know it.
I know what liberalism does.
And it's nothing good.
So I that that's in fact one of the disappointing things to me is that I am not surprised by this, and I'm I'm if you are, that's fine.
Whatever it takes to sock people into reality.
My dream would be that we have a population someday that here's somebody's a liberal, and that that dooms them.
They forever.
They are never gonna have a chance to get elected simply because they're liberals, simply because they're Democrats.
That's my dream.
That people understand what the Democrat Party is all about, as is as it's constituted today, that people understand what liberalism is.
Everybody knows what communism is, everybody knows what socialism is.
Well, we're not far from it with today's Democrat Party.
It's a pretty narrow space between those two in terms of differences.
I think a lot of people do know it.
They just don't they don't want to admit, my gosh, we've elected somebody like that.
Who is next?
Ann and Tallahassee, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Raj.
This is great.
This is great talking to you.
I uh on the lighter note.
Um I've been eagerly watching your program every Tuesday night, the Haney Project, and you're doing I I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
I'm not a golfer.
And uh my husband and I sit down, we watch your show, and um anyway, you you look great out there.
The sad part is you're making Charles Barclay look bad.
But uh you're looking great.
And uh I thought the I thought a cute thing to note was you know, uh Hank Haney was uh addressing a group of uh children or young golfers and and their parents and and he's talking about all the hard work he'd done and and how you know how he's become who he's become, and then he asked for questions, substantial questions, I guess, and one of the parents.
The first question we heard on the on the show was well, how's Rush doing?
So I think you've got a lot of fans out there who are watching you progress.
Well, I appreciate your comments on that.
You so yeah, that was that was in the uh episode last night in the uh uh at Hilton Head.
Correct.
And he was he he was conducting a youth camp uh for young golfers and their parents up there.
And yeah, they did I saw that some guy said, Well, how's Limbaugh's game?
Oh, it was it seems like you two have a great rapport and that you've gotten to know each other, at least up to this point in the show.
And um Yeah, so I I uh anyway, I thought it was I thought it was the best episode so far.
Uh yesterday you sounded like it wasn't your favorite, but uh let me put that in perspective.
Uh it was it was my least favorite.
Although for a lot of people, I had a lot of people say, No, I finally like this.
There was finally some instruction shown in the show last night.
Um in previous shows, the instruction hasn't made the edit cut.
There's been a lot of instruction, but it just hasn't made the cut.
Last night's show featured um uh a lot of instruction, and it was good.
I just uh I have uh knowledge that you don't.
I know what was not included in last lecture.
It did the show taken by itself from start to finish, not a bad show.
Um when I say it's my least favorite, uh it it that's not a comment on whether I thought it was good or not.
Right.
Now the next two, we've got two, we got two shows to go.
And and next week uh on Tuesday night is um uh Al Michaels of NBC Sports and I'm playing golf out in Los Angeles.
Uh we shot this over two days.
Al and I playing one day and Haney comes in the next day, and uh that's a good episode.
That that's gonna be a good fun episode to watch.
We shot the finale over the weekend down in Cabo San Lucas.
Oh, wow.
And uh now, depending on how this thing gets cut and put together, it's gonna be awesome.
It's gonna be it's gonna it's just it it's gonna be superb.
The problem with this one is that they've got so much that they could use.
I mean, we've got nine hours in the can, counting Saturday and Sunday, and only 22 and a half minutes of it's gonna air.
So that it's it's it's gonna be it's a massive editing project, but uh I I think it's I I think you're gonna like both of these remaining two episodes.
Well, thank you again for all you do, Rush, and uh uh you're in our prayers, and we just appreciate the fight.
Thanks so much.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Kelly or Ann, I appreciate your call, and I got a quick time out here, folks, a little long, but we'll be back quicker than you believe right after this.
Remember the caller we had at the bottom of the hour about 20 minutes ago.
Upset that all I do is criticize Obama.
Why don't I criticize people on my side, which of course I've done.
But ladies and gentlemen, it's all not uh, you know, love and roses and smooches and kisses out there for Obama.
Last night on PBS, Charlie Rose, he spoke with the New York Times columnist David Brooks about Obama and the lack of entitlement reform in his budget.
And remember, the media is eagerly watching to see if Republicans fall into a trap set by Obama.
They are eagerly hoping that Boehner and the Republicans Bachman the bunch embarrass themselves.
Obama might have outsmarted him.
Obama didn't mention entitlement reform in his budget.
No, he set a trap.
He wants the Republicans to go first.
He wants the Republicans to get tripped up, he wants the Republicans to talk about cutting social security, Medicare, Medicaid, all these things.
But there are voices from the intelligentsia, the elitist, the smartest people in our country in the media.
Charlie Rose and David Brooks terribly disappointed over this.
Devastated, in fact.
They thought Obama was made of much more.
They thought Obama was a leader.
They thought Obama would take the political capital of the Messiah status that he held and attacked all of these terrible things that need to be attacked if we are to become sulfant.
And when he didn't, they shared their misery with each other on the TV set of the Charlie Rose show.
Charlie Rose said, you know, it used to be said in this white house there was a great debate between on the one hand, Axelrod and the political people, the other people, Larry Summers.
What does this say about Obama's instinct for leadership?
You know, I have to say I'm disappointed.
He comes in promising hope and change.
Right.
And boldness.
This is not change.
This is not boldness.
And it's not that imaginative.
He's got a lot of really smart people who have spent their lives creating creative proposals to try out.
Where's all that stuff here?
It's not there.
Where's the vision?
Mr. Brooks.
Where's the crease in his pants?
Remember?
Really dazzled by the crease in his pants at that conservative dinner at George Will's house.
I have to say, Brooks, I'm disappointed.
He comes in promising hope and change, boldness is not change.
This is not bold, it's not imaginative.
He's got a really smart people.
Where aren't they?
See, this is these are the smart people.
They knew Obama was bold.
They knew.
They just knew.
Home patching, they knew it was gonna happen.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Really cued people like me for saying, there's this is all phony baloney, plastic banana, good time rock and roller.
There's no boldness, there's no open change, there's nothing new here.
He's a liberal.
I and others like me.
Well, there's nobody else like me.
I and others who agree with me, were just reamed for being critical of Obama.
Charlie Rose said, but you you believe he has the ideas.
He's simply being co-opted by the politics, or do you believe he doesn't really have a sense of how to get there?
Well, I think A, he's had a hard time, like a lot of politicians saying, what's my vision of American 2050?
He says I'm gonna build a new foundation.
New foundation for watching.
They really should bring in some outside people to give him some vision.
Bring in outside people to give him some vision.
Bring in outside people.
He had the vision.
I thought he was the sole owner of the vision.
And now Obama needs outside help.
Now these guys told us he was unique.
We need uh this Obama, unlike anything we'd ever seen before.
Finally, this exchange.
I was reading about what books he was taken of to Hawaii for the Christmas vacation.
He took Clinton and Taylor Brant, and he took Reagan and Lu Cannon.
I was saying, I wish I could ask David at this time.
What would he recommend for the reading list if you had this president at this time?
I would not recommend Reagan.
This sort of bugs me.
He's always had this thing for Reagan.
He is different than Reagan.
I wanted to take a book about the first Bush administration, H. W. Bush.
Because I think in some ways he has something in common with Bush and James Baker.
Sort of pragmatic guys, sort of level-headed, sort of an aversion to big ideology.
An aversion to big idiot.
He's upset.
Brooks said the era of Reagan's over, and there's Obama reading about Reagan, and Brooks is terrified.
Brooks is just told that down.
He had such high hopes for this young man child.
It bites deep.
Reality draws blood when it bites you in the butt, and that's not a pleasant place to bleed.
Speaking of the Golf Channel Aheny Project, uh Golf Channel just sent us a couple of web exclusive videos for our website.
One of them is uh with Al Michaels in the episode from next week.
It's two minutes.
We're going to be posting both of these videos when we update the website later this afternoon.
That's always between five and six PM and also on our Facebook page.
So that means they'll show up on your app uh on your iPhone or your iPad as well.
