Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And greetings once again to you, music lovers and thrill seekers and conversationalists all across the bountiful.
Plentiful.
Fruited plain.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
This is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
Telephone number 800 282882, the email address lrushball at EIBNet.com.
In his weekly press conference this morning, Speaker Boehner said there is no agreement on a budget number.
This is all so fatuous.
You realize we're talking of what are the differences $70 billion and 40 billion for a week?
I mean, that's the spread on this.
This is so inconsequential.
And uh Andy McCarthy, my old buddy at National Review Online had a an interesting post yesterday.
Why have we gotten ourselves into this into a circumstance here where we're debating time?
We are we're in a debate with these guys over time.
We need to get another continuing resolution for another ten days, another week.
What why are we talking about the money specifically?
Why are we allowing them to make the rules and hold us hostage to some timeline?
Which I think is an argument that has uh some merit.
Boehner said there's no agreement on a budget number.
In fact, he said that they were closer to a deal last night than they are this morning, which makes me wonder about the internal polls.
I mean, if Boehner's gonna sit there and say they were closer to a deal last night than this morning, it means the Democrats are hardening their position, which means the Democrats could have internal polling data showing that the Republicans are gonna end up with a majority get the blame for the uh shutdown if it happens.
Anyway, I'm getting bored with it.
I'm getting bored with the whole thing.
In fact, the latest, I'm not gonna mention any names here, but a well-known broadcast engineer just approached me and asked me a question.
Is it true tax refund checks might not be mailed during the shutdown?
I said, Yes.
Very true.
And I said it's outrageous.
What also isn't gonna happen is military pay.
And I'm gonna tell you, the social security checks are gonna go out.
Now, Obama has sent troops all over the world into battle, and they're not gonna get paid.
And I understand, speaking of Boehner, that Boehner has a uh a separate bill that he's brought forth that would do nothing but compensate uniformed military personnel around the world that are tied up in these uh in these conflicts and put the pressure on the Democrats to oppose that.
We'll see what uh what manifests itself out of that.
Why yeah, Harry Reid said it's not acceptable.
That that okay.
Um, that again tells me that the Democrats are being told by their pollsters that they are winning the shutdown PR game.
If Harry Reid is gonna sit there and say, no, this is uh this bill to pay the soldiers, uh not good enough.
Then they must have polling data to uh back up their tough stand.
We'll see as uh as time unfolds.
On this refund business, I know it's when I was young, it let's see, 1978, 25 years old, it was working for the Kansas City Royals.
And I was a neophyte, I didn't know diddly squat.
And there are a lot of co-workers, friends of mine who started bragging about their big refunds every year, how they were screwing the government.
So I wondered what I was doing wrong.
How come these guys are screwing the government and getting, I mean, multiple thousand dollar refunds.
I'm making twelve thousand dollars a year.
And if I got a refund, it was like seventy-five dollars or some such thing.
If at all.
My father's secretary did my taxes.
I would send her every credit card receipt.
I did what I thought you had to do.
Send in all these expense vouchers and so forth.
And she finally told me, that doesn't matter.
You don't earn enough money to have deductions.
We're just gonna take your W-2, we're gonna figure that we can do your return in five minutes.
You don't need to bother sending me all these credit card receipts and stuff.
Well, I was further deflated.
It wasn't until much later that I found out the only reason people were getting big refunds is because the government was screwing them.
People were over withholding.
And some were doing it on purpose, some it was accidental, but they over they overwithheld so that they would get the refund.
They wanted a lump sum of thousands of dollars to go out and buy a refrigerator or to brag that they got a big refund or what have you.
But it didn't take me long, once I started looking into this to figure out that if you get a big refund, you're getting screwed because the government's keeping your money all that year.
You're not getting any interest on it, you're not getting any use of it.
So my tax philosophy is to owe a little money every April 15th.
Damn straight.
Now, I, uh, like many Americans file quarterly.
I don't have anything withheld.
I'm my own enterprise, so I have to pay my own taxes.
And if you do, you understand uh you have a little bit more awareness and emotion attached to the whole tax code than if you uh have your your income taxes withheld, but to have to write that check four times a year, and to whatever state and city if they have taxes, no longer the place uh applicable for me, but in New York it was a state, federal, and state, federal, and city, when I lived in New York.
So now I I try to uh see to it that I owe a little bit every uh April 15th.
Harry Reid with a press conference, just Durban up there, that they clearly now have the polling data has to show them on the winning side of this.
GOP has made the decision to shut down the government.
And of course, the willing accomplices in the press are on their side.
Remember, the only reason we're here is because these guys did not do a budget.
They didn't do a budget for this year in 2010.
They purposely avoided doing a budget because it was an election year, and they did not want to further alienate voters any more than they already were by being crystal clear about what their spending plans were.
GOP's made the decision to shut down the government.
Boehner does not want to shut down the government.
That's the dirty little secret here.
He's petrified of shutting down the government.
That also could be a factor in these guys' full court press here.
Durbin and Reed now claiming that there's definitely gonna be a shutdown, could be a ruse to panic Boehner, because Boehner went out, he basically went out and admitted that there wasn't gonna be a shutdown.
The Republicans weren't gonna do it, and still he's demanding all these things.
It's kind of like showing up at the 7-Eleven, saying you're gonna rob the place.
You call them up.
Okay, I'm coming in and I'm gonna rob you.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
You show up with an unloaded gun.
It's sort of the approach here to claiming we don't want to shut down, we don't want to shut down, but we're gonna we're gonna really go to the mat here over this $30 billion spread in the differences that we have.
You probably heard that a lifelong friend of Mr. Obama has been arrested for soliciting prostitution in Hawaii.
Now, none of the reports have mentioned from which sex Obama's friend solicited sex from a prostitute.
The gentleman in question, whose name is titkum, uh or titcom, I don't know how he pronounces it, T-I-T-C-O-M-B.
I've heard it pronounced it in another way.
Titcom titcom.
Uh Titcomb.
It's uh it has multiple pronunciations, all dependent on how the owner of the name chooses to pronounce it.
But he has been, Mr. Titcomb has been uh one of Obama's favorite golf buddies.
And this guy up obviously knows about teeing off.
They've been playing golf together since they went to school together in Hawaii.
Now Trump is out there claiming that nobody knows anything about Obama's past life.
This titcom guy does.
Obviously, now we got a character witness.
We've got somebody, this titcomb guy who has been arrested for soliciting prostitution who knows Obama well.
By the way, Trump.
I know some of you people in this audience don't like Trump, but he went to the Today Show today and he dropped a stink bomb on poor old Meredith Vieira.
She didn't know what to do with this.
This was just amazing.
We've got the audio.
During a discussion about Obama's birth certificate, Meredith Vieira said, in the state of Hawaii, they say they have seen this document that he was born in the United States.
That's good enough for them.
A birth certificate is not even close.
A certificate of live birth is not even signed by anybody.
I saw his.
I read it very carefully.
Doesn't have a serial number, doesn't have a signature.
He spent two million dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue.
And if he weren't lying, why wouldn't he just solve it?
I wish he would.
Because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period.
It's that's true.
If if if Obama was not born here, this is a huge scam.
One not just in politics, but a uh uh one of the greatest scams ever.
Uh Meredith Bierra, by the way, leaving NBC.
She's leaving the uh today show, and she might be leaving uh uh who wants to be a millionaire.
She hosts that, the game show.
She came back at Trump and she said, You have people, you have people in Hawaii searching this.
They cannot believe what they're finding.
I would like to have him show his birth certificate.
Can I be honest with you?
I hope he can.
Because if he can't, if he can't, and if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility, I'm not saying it happened.
I'm saying it's a real possibility, much greater than I thought two or three weeks ago, then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics.
And beyond.
You should have seen Meredith Viehara.
She doesn't know what to do with this.
You know, she's clearly she she's from the state controlled media that there's no question here.
He's born in Hawaii.
She never has seen proof.
She's like everybody else, she's not seen proof.
She just knows it.
Everybody else in her circle knows he was born in Hawaii, born in America.
And here comes this guy, Trump, who has his own NBC show.
They got to be very careful here.
What's Trump's show?
You're fired?
What is it?
Oh, celebrity apprentice.
So here he is, I mean, as off the reservation as a uh state controlled media apparatus uh can possibly uh witness, she finally said, You've criticized Obama quite a bit in this interview and in the past.
What do you think he's done well?
This I always used to get this question.
You know when I when I when I deigned to go on these shows, is there anything nice and gay?
No, no, no, mommy.
Why is there anything he'd accomplish?
Isn't there not one thing he done?
Always got a question like that.
Here's what Trump said.
Get elected.
I think he did a great job when he ran for office.
If I had my choice of having Obama do great as a president and do a really great job for this country and not running, as opposed to running and doing, I'd prefer that he did a great job.
I love this country, but this country is going to hell.
I would run a great, great country.
This country will be great again.
It is not great right now.
We have huge deficits, we have huge unemployment, we have huge problems, and we're not respected.
We're not respected in the world.
The world laughs at us.
They won't be laughing if I'm president.
This is he's tackling this birth thing head on.
I mean, head on.
And they can't, they can't say that Trump is part of the Tea Party.
He's not there.
I mean, he's uh, you know, a marginal Republican in terms of the way people classify.
But I mean, this nobody, nobody is out there tackling this the way he is.
Nobody's out there, and I I actually think, by the way, that Trump is providing a blueprint here.
I I the the way to beat Obama 2012 is to just go at him.
Uh stop this.
You know, everybody lives in this this media created fantasy that the guy's unbeatable and he's the greatest orator on the world.
You get him away from the prompter, I'm serious, and he's lost.
He's a gaffe machine.
He and Biden are in the same class, and it doesn't take long to call a role.
There's a mythology that has been created about Obama that that uh unnecessarily makes people afraid.
And Trump is illustrating the way to do this.
And Paul Ryan's budget is just you just go right after him.
You just go right after him, instead of pussyfooting around worrying about what the independents are gonna say or worried about what the uh people that pay attention to politics two years or two two days a year are gonna say, just go after it.
Last night, while um appearing with the Reverend Sharpton in New York, Obama said that he stood by his record the past two years.
Said he is proud of what he's accomplished.
Well, what is that?
What has he accomplished?
That's not an achievement.
That is an albatross.
Obamacare.
What has he accomplished as president, except ruining the economy?
Is that what he's proud of?
And the scary thing is, it very well might be back after this.
We got so much today, folks.
Chris Christie has said the New Jersey teachers unions are a bunch of political thugs.
The uh leaders, and he says school teachers are great people.
But that the union leaders are uh a bunch of thugs.
And Moamar Qaddafi.
Moamar Gaddafi has written an open letter to Obama.
I I am going to get into detail.
Obama insulting this guy gets eight miles a gallon as SUV at this thing yesterday to Obama.
So maybe you need a trade-in.
Um that will not stand on the that that that needs to be exploited big time.
I'm gonna show the way on that.
We'll get to that as the program unfolds.
But I this this this thing and in Mexico, I don't know if you've seen this or not.
Thousands of people are protesting in Mexico.
According to the AP, they are protesting against the government crackdown on the drug cartels.
The protesters in Mexico claim that all the violence and the mayhem and the killing is resulting from the government trying to hold the drug cartel to account.
I kid you not.
They're blaming the government's crackdown, trying to maintain the law as the reason for the violence.
That's scary stuff too, because that's the people.
But back to Qaddafi and Trump.
Maybe Trump knows something more than we do.
Qaddafi has an open letter to Obama.
I have a copy of it here, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
And he keeps calling Obama his son.
Now, we don't know where Qaddafi was born.
We've not seen his birth certificate.
And here you have Kad.
Here you have Qaddafi.
It in fact, in his letter to Obama, Qaddafi calls him our dear son, Excellency Barack Hussein Abu Auma.
Which apparently is the full-fledged Muslim pronunciation or variation of Barack Hussein Obama.
Our dear son, Excellency Barack Hussein Abu Uama.
Maybe we should start calling him that out of respect.
I mean, here's a guy.
Obama is bombing this guy.
Obama is is sending is sending NATO in to help the rebels are trying to bomb this guy, and Qaddafi is sending letters to Obama.
Uh our son Excellency Barack Hussein Abu Uama.
Maybe, you know, the way I'm gonna read this letter, it looks to me like Qaddafi fully understands that all this is is an effort to get his son re-elected.
And so he's willing for Libya to be bombed.
He understands that the whole purpose of this is for his son.
Um Barack Hussein Abuama to be re-elected.
He says, we have been hurt more morally than physically because of what had happened against us in both deeds and words by you.
Despite all of this, Baraka, you will always remain our son, whatever happened.
Now remember, Qaddafi has as long believed that Obama is a Muslim, and he's gone out there and he said so.
We still pray that you continue to be president of the USA.
We endeavor and hope that you will gain victory in a new election campaign.
So Qaddafi understands that he's being bombed by his son, so his son can win re-election.
He's oh he's happy with it.
This is the most unreal I've ever seen.
On the cutting edge, Rush Limboss serving humanity.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Moar Qaddafi in his letter to dear son, Excellency Barack Hussein Abu Uama.
We still pray that you continue to be president of the USA.
We endeavor and hope that you will gain victory in the new election campaign, which shows that even Qaddafi realizes that all of this is about getting his son, Mr. Abu Uama, re-elected.
Now the question is, will this endorsement put Obama over the top?
What would you expect from a supporter financially and morally of the Reverend Louis Farrakhan?
A mentor, after all, to uh Obama's spiritual mentor, to be Jeremiah Wright.
Uh uh Qaddafi further said, You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action.
I am sure that you are able to shoulder the responsibility for that.
Now, this tells me that Mr. Qaddafi does not know his son very well at all, because Mr. Abu Umama has never admitted a mistake, let alone shoulder the responsibility for one.
But still, what I take away from this is Qaddafi is getting the ever-living kicked out of his country, and he writes in a letter to Obama, his son, saying, uh, we understand why you gotta do this.
And we hope you win your re-election.
All right, moving on to uh Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, yesterday, at the Gamesa Technology Corporation, Obama spoke, and during the QA, an unidentified guy said that you're talking about the rise of gas price.
Oh, before that, let me grab this AP story.
This outrageous and hilarious at the same time.
Shoppers shrugged off higher gas prices and cool temperatures to give retailers a surprisingly strong march.
Did you know that?
Did you know that you just shrugged off high gas prices?
You did you pull into Pump Bryan's in the new gas price?
Eh, no big deal, I gotta go to the mall.
You would you ever gas prices are nearing the $4 tipping point nationwide.
They're already at $4 in certain states a gallon.
Would you would you ever see a story like this with a Republican president?
Shoppers shrugged off higher gas prices?
Well, the fact is, shoppers' voters are not shrugging off higher gas prices.
This guy at Obama's town hall yesterday in Pennsylvania said to him, you were talking about the rise of gas prices.
I know back in the 70s they were going from our license plates, odd to evens, days we could get gas.
I know we're not at that stage right now, but but they did lower the prices after that.
Is there a chance of the gasoline price being lowered again?
Now listen to Obama's answer.
I'm just gonna be honest with you.
There's not much we can do next week or two weeks from now.
If you're getting eight miles a gallon, you may want to think about a trade-in.
You can get a great deal.
I promise you, GM or Ford or Chrysler, they're gonna be happy to give you a deal on something that gets you better gas mileage.
Gas prices, they're gonna still fluctuate until we can start making these broader changes, and that's gonna take a couple of years to have serious effect.
He's talking about his green energy programs, and they will not be anything productive in two years or thirty years.
Oil is it.
But that's not my point.
Here is a guy who has an SUV who's asking about gasoline prices.
And Obama says, hey, you know what?
Eight miles a gallon, you better go get a trade in.
This is a total disconnect.
It's as disconnected as it gets.
So may I have the attention of all Americans, all of you who make a living using your trucks, pickup trucks, vans, four-wheel drive vehicles, all of you painters, your construction workers, delivery men, cab drivers, even soccer moms.
Those of you who depend on large vehicles for your business or for the safety of your family.
Your president has just told you to trade it in for some electric job that his company happens to make.
Trade in your vehicles.
Go out and buy a subcompact.
See, that's that's that's how this works for you.
Problem solved, according to Barack Obama.
I want to go back to 2005, 2006, gas price getting up to four bucks.
George Bush gets a question about it.
Why don't you go trade in that gas guzzler of yours, pal?
What would the news reports be?
They would certainly be focused on the insensitivity of Bush.
Well, he doesn't care what gas costs because he doesn't have to buy it.
And he is in a limousine that only gets eight miles to the gallon.
Well, so is Obama.
Obama's lemo gets eight miles to the gallon.
His fleet of security vehicles, the suburbans, they're not going to switch out.
Classic illustration here of how statists live and work and you don't get to play in their league.
So you just got to go trade in your car.
You gotta go get a subcompact.
You gotta go out and get if you want to spend less on gasoline.
We're not gonna drill.
We're not gonna increase our own supply of oil.
No, we're gonna hold out for a worthless so-called green energy solution that does not exist and won't exist for decades.
And don't doubt me.
He's not gonna try to lower prices.
He's not gonna try to lower taxes.
He is not gonna lower the corporate tax rate.
He's not going to take any action that'll make the cost of living less because he doesn't want to.
What we need to do is trade in Obama.
We bought the wrong president.
You have to go trade in your car.
You didn't get an Obama-approved vehicle.
Oh, let's not forget about students and those making at or near the minimum wage.
If you don't have a high mileage car, you're screwed.
The president doesn't care.
You got that?
Your gas prices are not going down.
He doesn't care.
He's on record as saying he didn't mind a $4 a gallon national gasoline price.
He was a little upset at how fast it got there, but the overall effect of the price didn't bother him at all.
So what are you going to do now?
You show up, you tell the president of your concern, eight miles to the gallon, and he tells you to go trade in your vehicle.
Well, you might not be able to afford to drive to the polls in 2012 and vote for the idiot who loves high gas prices.
That's what you should tell him.
Now this is from a guy who says he remembers he knew we've got the I think we've got a yeah.
Grab.
Let me see if I have the I got these sound bites all out of order.
Yeah, I don't know.
Um is it 11 where he talks about uh no?
I need the one where he talks where he pumped gas when he was young.
And I've got these everything came in in a in a cockaman order today, so I don't can't find it real quick, but he said he remembers What it's like to pump gas.
And that's when gasoline was cheap.
He remembers what it was like to buy gas before he became president when Bush was president.
Gasoline has doubled in price since Obama hit town.
He says buy a new car.
The federal deficit has ballooned since Obama hit town.
tells you to trade in your car.
He says, Sarah Palin is an embarrassment.
Yeah, Sarah Palin is an embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Obama is destroying the little guy.
High gasoline prices, high food prices, inflation on the way.
Try that one out, seasoned citizens.
All of you on fixed incomes, gas prices are not going down, food prices won't either.
Welcome to Obamaville.
Having more fun a human being should be allowed to have.
Oh, grab audio sound by 34.
This is Boehner.
This is uh this morning in Washington.
He held his weekly presser.
And during the QA reporter said, Speaker Boehner, last night leader Reed said he was optimistic that um you'd reach a deal.
Then uh this morning seemed to indicate that you moved further apart, that the discussions had deteriorated.
You agree with that.
What seems to have happened over the last twelve hours?
We made some progress last night, or at least I thought we did.
But uh, you know, when I see what the White House uh has to offer today, it's really just more of the same.
We're gonna have real spending cuts.
And I don't I don't know, but some people don't understand about this.
There is no agreement on a number.
In fact, I think we were closer to a number last night than we are this morning.
Okay, both sides agree they were closer last night than they are on a number this morning.
You and I both know that the numbers on both sides are a joke.
I know you have to start somewhere.
Folks, 40 billion, 70 billion.
We're talking about interest that accumulates has to be paid over a couple of days here.
Now, when you start talking trillions as Paul Ryan is talking, now you're talking real dollars.
And we've got ourselves hemmed in on a timeline.
Gotta get this done by midnight tomorrow.
Why?
Why is it why are we looking at a timeline?
I really like this point.
Why are we getting hemmed in and and having all this pressure brought down on us by the timeline?
Why shouldn't the focus be on the size?
I know it is partially, but as long as we're doing this.
No, I know everybody on our side is afraid of budget shutdown.
I just our government shutdown.
I'm not in their business, so it's easy to look from afar here and say you'd do it differently if you were in their shoes.
But I just I I'm not governed by the fear.
Fear kills.
It just um it just oh CNN.
Countdown clock, by the way, 35 hours and 15 minutes.
Well, twelve minutes now, and they are reporting that the first furlough notices have gone out to congressional staffers so that they can prepare for a shutdown.
My heart breaks.
Let's get the Strativariuses out and let's start singing the tunes that bring on tears.
How do they prepare for a snow day?
Which is essentially what is going to end up being.
Let's go to Zanesville, Ohio, as we start on the phones with Joe.
Thank you for calling, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
How are you doing, Rush?
Good.
I just uh I just came up with the idea that uh you hit it on the head uh when you said uh let's not trade in our cars, but let's go one step further.
Let's not trade in our cars, let's not trade in our lives, let's trade in Obama.
Trade in Obama, absolutely right.
I'm glad you like that.
I come from a state.
Uh actually, there's a picture in the New York Times of Kasich being in a little ice cream restaurant uh in Zanesville, Ohio, and that was the one where I work.
I'm I'm actually a general manager there.
And uh my my boss is not Actually a conservative, but he was in K6 boat, and so uh so was I. Now, the thing I come up with is I'm from a state that uses and harvests natural gas, and we're huge on coal, and all I hear is we can't we can't drill for it, we can't mine for it.
And Obama says that you can't uh you know go trade in your car.
Well, I don't want to trade in my car, and he says he can't do anything about it.
Well, you can't tell me that if he said, okay, go ahead and drill, that the price of gasoline wouldn't plummet.
No, it would.
You have to understand.
No, that look, you it's very simple.
You you've laid it out pretty well here.
You got a guy who got coal, nope, not gonna use coal.
Uh gasoline, natural gas.
Nope, not gonna do that.
Too dangerous, could destroy the planet, blah, blah.
What do you have?
I mean, what is all this and up?
You've got a guy and a regime full of people who agree with him.
That their objective is now is to preside over the decline of this country to that of a European type socialist state.
That's their objective.
There's a war on prosperity.
It's happening every day, and it's in their policies.
There's a war on prosperity.
There's no doubt about it.
We've got two and a half years under our belt of regime policies, and we see the results of regime policies.
Now, anybody who really cared about reversing this would see that after two and a half years, their policies aren't working.
They would engage to improve them, maybe alter them a bit so that you get a different result.
No, we're doubling down on the same stuff that got us where we are.
So you go to a windmill company, a guy asks you about eight miles to the gallon in his SUV, and the president says, trade it in.
And he goes to Sharpton's group, says, Yeah, look, you can count on me.
I know I want to like to pump gas.
When did he ever pump gas?
We've been told in his books that the only job he's ever had working one day at a baskin robins.
Now we do know that he worked at felt like he was across enemy lines working in some law firm for a while.
But he worked he worked at a baskin robins, which is why he claimed he hated ice cream, which turned out to be another lie.
He loves ice cream.
Now, don't you think that if Obama pumped gas, that we would have some of the people he worked for and worked with coming forward to brag about it.
Oh yeah, I pumped gas with Obama.
I mean, this titcom guy out there soliciting prostitutes, he's a good buddy of Obama.
Maybe this guy can recall the days that Obama pumped gas.
This is I I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if this is another made-up story.
Just on the fly.
No wasn't on a prompter, so it, you know, all bets are off.
Yeah, yeah.
I um I pumped gas, like the one about him being conceived by his parents while they were in Selma.
He actually said that.
He said that his parents got the idea.
He said that the idea of uh all that one hit what his parents were in Selma.
He said it when he was in Selma, talking about the movement.
Now we borrow four billion dollars a day from China, and we are arguing over the difference between thirty and seventy billion dollars in cuts here, and whether or not we are going to shut down the government over this.
At any rate, um here's what he said.
This Obama last night.
Oh, he said that at a time when the economy is still coming out of an extraordinarily deep recession.
It would be inexcusable given the relative uh relatively narrow differences when it comes to numbers between the two parties that we can't get this done.
He said that last night at the White House.
So I guess he wants to own the budget negotiations now, like owning the mob in Egypt.
But he goes away all day, comes back late at night, then just summons everybody to the White House for a meeting to make it look like that he is intimately involved in all of this.
But note the priority.
