Time Text
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Right here from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Ideological Purity.
Also known as the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to join us, 800-282-2882, and the email address L Rushbow or EIB at EIB net.com.
Before we get to the health care story and the Supreme Court, White House Dossier.com.
A blog, Keith Koffler.
Obama fundraising suffers huge drop-off.
Here is the final paragraph of the uh of the story.
This helps explain the vitriol Obama has been dumping out on the campaign trail.
He needs to get people motivated to send him their money.
And if he can get the hating thing going, hate Republicans, hate the rich, hate everybody, maybe they'll part with some money.
Because here are the details.
And it's actually the blog is founded in the New York Times.
Obama will raise substantially less in the second quarter of his campaign than the first.
The New York Times writes that Obama campaign manager Jim Messina has told Democrat officials the president will raise about $55 million in the quarter that ends September 30th.
That's $30 million less than he raised the first quarter of his campaign, which ended June 30th.
The uh the news is buried within the New York Times story.
So $55 million.
It's a fair amount of money.
But the regime is admitting it.
The regime is out there suggesting their fundraising is way off.
Now the regime campaign attributes part of the decline to the need for Obama to stay in Washington to address budget battles with Republicans.
That he needs to be president.
Poor guy.
He has to stay in Washington and be president.
He has to fight those evil Republicans.
That's why his fundraising's down.
When's the last time he was in Washington for crying out loud?
This guy's on the road more than any president I could ever recall.
Being president isn't keeping him in town.
There was a New York Times article on Saturday said many small donors are hesitant to start giving to Obama again.
And it's no secret that even for Democrats the thrill is gone.
See, fuck, I'm gonna tell you something, and I've I've mentioned this to you before.
I think, given what the state-run media is reporting about Obama, I think it is that much worse.
I think his approval numbers are far worse than what the average opinion poll is showing.
What are they showing him?
42, 43 percent.
Yesterday we had a poll from The Economist magazine, which is approved and accredited with the establishment.
I mean, the Economist is a is a is a great British magazine, and they've got a poll with some voting group, I forget the name of the group.
Obama's approval number net polls 36%.
His fundraising is down.
I I'll tell you, I and I've said for the longest time, I remember telling you for the longest time that the internal polls in the White House, and by internal, I mean the ones they do for themselves, not polls bought and paid for by networks.
These are polls, the internals, another way to describe internals are the right ones.
The campaign has to know exactly where it stands.
The campaign can't lie to itself about where it is in a poll.
The New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or NBC, these people can they can ask questions in any way they want.
They can fudge results any way they want to produce a result.
That is what they want.
But the regime can't afford to do that.
They've got to know exactly where they stand.
I just think it's far worse.
And when the fundraising is down like this, and when he's embarking on fundraising so consistently, and I think this blog has it right.
I I I think the um there's absolute, I think a sense of panic within the regime over Obama's position.
And I think a lot of people don't realize it or don't think of it because of conditioning.
People on our side, I mean.
We have a lot of people who find it hard to process the notion that people who have rigged the game can be in such trouble.
I mean, look at the advantages they have.
They own the media.
The Democrat Party, the left, the president, whatever.
They own the quote-unquote legacy media.
That's big.
They have, because of that power, they have the ability to define language any way they want, and whoever defines the language often wins the debate.
You couple that with the fact that the Republican leadership in Washington is still afraid of itself.
And people just find it hard to process the fact that the Democrat candidate, particularly this one, first black president, all of this phony baloney, plastic and banana, good time rock and roll image crap that they created of the guy, we find it hard to believe it's all just evaporated.
Here is a guy we were told was universally loved, adored, and appreciated unlike anybody else back in 2008.
Now the election returns didn't show that.
It was 5347.
That's not a landslide.
But nevertheless, people who are soaked in pessimism, and you have to admit, people on our side are drowning in it.
People on our side have been drowning in pessimism for I don't know how long.
And by that I mean you think, a lot of people think that the Democrats are totally in charge of everything and everything they're doing is a big trick, and that we can't keep up with them, and that in fact, all of this is probably just a trick to get us to uh get overconfident or what have you.
But I don't think it can be denied that most of the people on our side, particularly the elected Republican leadership, just can't process the fact that Obama and the Democrats are in this much trouble, even though the evidence is all over the place, and even though it has been the case many times in recent years.
The House races in 1994, the Reagan elections in 1980 and 84.
The frustrating thing is that you and I know that in terms of body of thinking and numbers of people, we are the majority of thought in this country.
We are the majority politically.
But nobody says so.
It's portrayed the other way around, in fact.
We're this extreme fringe, angry white male, whatever the concoction of the day is or month is uh minority.
But I I'm here to tell you that if if they're $55 million down in this quarter in fundraising, you put it all together, these approval numbers, even the ones being reported are nothing to write home about.
And uh you've got the jobs that nobody no nobody nobody wants any part of Obama.
When he goes out and campaigns, he still can't find a whole bunch of Democrats willing to stand side by side with him.
He's toxic.
You know, life circumstances in this country are real.
People want to work and can't find a job.
Their home values have been destroyed.
This stuff.
Obama isn't.
It's real.
It has had a disastrous effect on people's lives.
They are living it, and yet we still have people who think that even those people can be fooled into believing it the Republicans' fault.
At the end of the day, that that's who's going to ultimately get blamed, a Republican.
Yeah, they're gonna watch Russia, you're gonna you're gonna see them succeed in getting away blaming the Republicans for all of this.
A lifetime of pessimism is tough to overcome.
Now, I do not share this pessimism.
How many months have I been telling you if the election were today or tomorrow he'd lose in a landslide?
So you put it all together and and and the regime is in trouble.
Plus, folks, these speeches just don't accomplish anything anymore.
The magic that was the concoction of Obama is gone.
He doesn't hold sweat.
The more he speaks, the worse it gets for him.
He doesn't have the ability any longer to give a speech and turn people into mush.
You look at November of 2010.
Look at that election.
That by any definition was a landslide election.
The midterms in 2010, and not just in Washington, all the way down the ballot, state and local ballots.
It was horrible for the Democrats.
Now, why should Obama be in any less trouble today than he was in 2010?
The economy hasn't improved.
There's no upswing in jobs.
Health care is more expensive and less available.
None of what Obama has promised has come true.
He promised all these jobs.
He promised cheaper health care.
He promised unity.
He promised the world would love us.
He promised there wouldn't be any more.
Nothing he has said has come true.
Why?
Is it odd to think he's in trouble?
Why is it weird?
Why is it foolish to think Obama is in big trouble?
Why?
Why is the smart play to think, oh, this guy's got us right where he wants?
American people.
You know, Russia's stupid.
American people stupid, and if 47% of them don't pay taxes, all Obama's got to do is tell them he's going to give them this, and no, we can't win Russia.
We've lost the country.
I sorry.
I don't subscribe that November 2010 wouldn't have happened.
They're trying to tell us the Tea Party, I've seen this in a couple places.
Tea Party's not nearly as powerful as was.
When did that happen?
The Tea Party not nearly as relevant as it used to be.
When did that happen?
The Tea Party not nearly as large as it used to be.
When did that happen?
When did the Tea Party start slinking off the face of the earth?
I haven't seen that.
Far as I'm concerned, Tea Party's growing.
Herman Cain win the straw poll in Florida.
Why do you think he won the straw poll in Florida?
You want to know why Herman Cain won the straw poll in Florida?
Because you can't find one example of Herman Cain at any point in this campaign not being a conservative.
Herman Cain's not hedging his bets.
Herman Cain's not trying to be all things to all people.
Herman Cain is not out there trying to make sure he doesn't offend this group or that.
Herman Cain's out there, and he is pedaled to the metal, 100% conservative.
Every time he opens his mouth.
Not surprising to me he wins the Florida straw poll over somebody who's meavy mouthed and is trying to have it both ways on any number of issues.
I know where this country is.
I know what the people of this country want, and they don't want John McCain Jr.
They don't want another moderate Republican who can work with the other side.
They don't want somebody who wants to cut it both ways on illegal immigration or on health care.
They want a conservative.
The candidates who are proudly, unashamedly, cheerfully, unabashedly conservative are going to win.
And they are.
Who was it was judged to do the best in that Thursday night debate?
Herman Cain and Santorum.
Have you ever heard Santorum say anything other than a conservative position?
And what else does Herman Cain do?
He takes it right to Obama.
He doesn't take it to Romney.
He doesn't take it to Perry.
He takes it to Obama.
Because Republican voters know the end of the day Perry's not the enemy, and Romney's not the enemy.
There may be better choices, but Obama is the enemy.
Obama is who has to be defeated.
Obama is who the people of this country have got to be constantly told is their problem.
So why is it a surprise that Herman Cain would win the straw poll in Florida?
All he's done is be consistently conservative.
And I'll tell you something else Herman Cain has.
He's got a specific economic plan, this 999 thing, and it's easy to understand.
And it makes total sense.
And it's not dressed up in a bunch of what ifs and maybes and so forth is just what it is.
And it's offered by somebody with confidence, a little ravado, sense of humor, optimism.
Not surprising to me he wins the Florida straw poll.
My point here is it is Obama who's in trouble, not Romney.
It's Obama who's in trouble, not Perry.
They may be in trouble within their own little universes of whatever they're trying to accomplish now in the Republican primary.
And and Romney may not be in trouble.
I mean, I I was in Indianapolis over the weekend, of course, wherever I go, people want to talk politics.
And to so many people, left, right, center, it didn't matter what their affiliation, it's over.
Romney's a nominee.
That's just it.
I mean, not that they care or disagree or approve of it, is it's over.
And it's not over.
And I think Romney's the nominee because nobody else has the money and nobody else has the time, and Perry got in too late.
He's too nervous in the debates, doesn't come through, and these other people don't have a chance.
Ah, King has great no.
He doesn't have a chance, Rush.
Santorum doesn't have a chance.
Bachman doesn't have a chance.
Who says?
Why are we gonna why are we gonna sit around?
Did not Herman Cain win the Florida straw poll.
That was flooded with a bunch of Ron Paul people, by the way.
So my only point to you in all of this is I see a story's fundraising is down, his poll numbers are down.
On the campaign trail, he's acting like a petulant little narcissist who for the first time in his life is not getting his way.
Handpicked questioners are standing up saying the stupidest stuff.
Mr. President, raise our taxes.
Hey, Walter Mondale, how'd that work for you in 1984?
Do you think anybody is gonna win the presidency on a campaign of raise my taxes, Mr. President?
Do you think it is a winning campaign strategy to run around and say, I'm gonna raise your taxes, I'm gonna raise your tax, I'm gonna raise your taxes because why, Mr. President, are you gonna Well, because we haven't made enough investments education.
People have lost the value of their homes.
They don't have jobs.
And you're trying to tell me that are overtaxed, they're trying to tell me we haven't invested, we've invested in so much and it doesn't work is why we're broke.
People want some responsibility and some sensibility returned to all this, and Obama has blown it sky high in terms of irrationality.
We have the most or the least qualified guy in any room he walks into running the country, and people are starting to realize it.
So his fundraising is down, poll numbers are down on the campaign trail, he's becoming mean, angry, bitter, focusing on people he wants us to consider the enemies of all the rest of us, and that's the successful.
This isn't 20 or 30 years ago.
It isn't 40 years ago.
It's not working.
And the fact that it isn't working, he's doubling down on it, getting even angrier is evidence to me.
Back in a moment.
Okay, we're back, and we're gonna start on the phones, and that'll be College Park, Maryland.
Hi, Jeff.
Great to have you on the program.
Welcome, sir.
Hey, Russ, I think um the Elizabeth Warren was out of name.
Yes.
She's in telling the whole story.
She says that the roads are built, and uh, you know, we all pay taxes, so nobody got rich by themselves.
Well, she's right as far as that goes, but she's also missing this.
I mean, this guy's here a perfect example.
He's living off dividends.
He's not digging ditches.
He didn't get rich because he dug more ditches than anyone else.
He got rich, and most people in this country get get rich because they've got other people working for them, which means they're selling the labor of these other people for more than they're paying for it.
They're paying a guy eight dollars to dig a ditch, and they're charging somebody else twenty dollars for that ditch.
Abraham Lincoln said that before there's capital, there's labor.
And all capital comes from work that real human beings do.
This guy's sitting home collecting sex dividends from other people's labor.
American Express's biggest corporate priority is making sure that people don't unionize, because they know their corporation is profiting by selling the labor of their workers for more than they're paying.
So nobody in this country has gotten rich without putting other people to work and paying them less than what they're actually worth.
So when we're talking about classes, I like your characterization.
I pay wait a second now.
Wait, I like your characterization, paying them less than they're actually worth.
Most most people in this country got rich because of uh capitalism.
Right, which and all capitalism comes from labor.
I guess what I don't understand is that when we're talking about class warfare, and people have worked all their lives and paid for the Social Security and they've paid for their Medicare.
It's not class warfare when people talk about taking that away from them, you know, increasing eligibility age or uh you know, eliminating the cost of living adjustment, even though Social Security's return is only two and a half percent.
It's not class warfare when we're taking money out of the pockets of people that need it, millions of people, but it is class warfare when we have rich people in this country that have gotten the money that they have by selling other people's labor for more than what they're paying for.
That is class warfare.
I mean, I mean, explain, explain.
But Obama is the one talking about taking away Medicare.
Obama is the one who actually is cutting Medicare.
And you support them.
As far as that goes, he'd live to take away entitlement.
You think entitlements are welfare, that people that paid for it don't deserve it for some reason.
Well, but you're you there are a lot of holes in in uh in in what you're saying, because you're you're you're you're making some equal assumptions about circumstances where there are a lot of variables and there is and and and no two situations are the same.
So you this is this is the problem that you socialists have, or that you Marxists have.
You you you cannot calculate the dynamism, and you refuse to calculate the dynamism that exists in any set of economic circumstances.
Anyway, uh I know what he means with it with his labor comment.
I'll explain when we come back.
I got to take a quick break here.
Don't go away.
Don't go away.
Okay, we are back.
This guy, the our last caller, uh, ladies and gentlemen, was reading from um there was a the the fringe left-wing website, the Daily Cause, I don't know how you I've never known how you pronounce this,
produced an email circulated back in 2009, that is from Abraham Lincoln talking about slavery versus uh labor versus slavery, and what they've done is take this thing out of context and they've urged every one of their readers to print this thing out, send it to as many people as they know, uh, and if they can get on radio talk shows and read it.
And it's from January 29, 2009, Abe Lincoln pro-labor, send this to your uh Republican friends.
That's the that's the link to it from the Daily Coast.
And they have to take Lincoln out of context, labor versus slavery.
This Lincoln was talking about the immorality of slave labor, which costs nothing.
You didn't pay them anything other than their room and board.
That was pure and simple.
But if you apply this to the real world today, it breaks down.
I uh the here's a great example.
This guy believes that I'll use myself here as an example, that I am getting rich, and I'm not admitting that, by the way, that I am getting rich by paying the people who work for me less than what they are worth, not what they deserve, less than what they're worth and getting rich off of it.
Therefore, I am screwing the people who work for me.
Now let's use Mr. Snurdley as an example.
These people would believe that Snurdley is worth far more than I, no matter what I'm paying him, and they have no clue, but that Sterley is worth far more than I'm getting rich on Snerdley's back because I'm not paying him anywhere near what he is worth.
The belief is that labor comes before anything else.
So the answer to it is, Mr. Snerdley, let's look at him specifically.
Could Mr. Snurdley make more money screening calls for himself?
Could the United Auto worker make more money building cars for himself?
Could you, wherever you work, could you make more money doing what you do for yourself?
If you think so, go for it.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Give it a shot.
The cost of labor in any business is not calculated on value or worth, except in some circuit.
Everything's every situation is different.
Every hire is different except for a union hire.
They are all the same.
That's why I've never wanted to be a member of a union.
Or a trade union, a labor union.
They don't explain the phenomenon of genius.
They say it's irrelevant.
They say that the genius has been used to trick other people.
They say the genius has been used to exploit other people.
The genius is not a factor in their achievement.
Genius is making them smarter than everybody else, so they're able to exploit their workers.
This is, I mean, it's right out of marks.
It's it's uh it's it's it's it's once you understand, just Elizabeth Warren, if I've always said, folks, if you just understand these liberals, if you understand them, all of this makes sense.
And if you understand that they lie and make things up, if you understand what it is that animates them, then everything makes sense, and you'll never ever vote for one.
You would never even consider it, no matter how bad anybody else is, you would never ever vote for a liberal.
Properly informed and properly educated.
So the the whole the whole point here is let's talk about labor, cost, so forth and so on.
In every company, large and small, there are people who do work.
There are people who have jobs more important than other people.
Therefore, there is work that is more valuable than other work.
This is the first thing that ticks the left off.
They don't like that division, they don't like the classifications, they don't like the fact that somebody's more important than somebody else.
That's it really at the root of it.
That's unfair, that's discriminatory, that's uh mean, you know, what have you?
It leads to people not having same advantages as other people.
And liberals never believe that that difference in value or worth is born of reality.
It's always born of favoritism.
Or some other thing that can be bought, negotiated, or purchased rather than real qualitative assessments of somebody's work.
Now the purpose of a business is not to employ people.
Purpose of a business is not to provide health care.
The purpose of a business is not to make a great community.
That's not why anybody starts one.
Now that may be why a lot of businesses fold, because a lot of liberals might start companies with that premise, and they won't last long if that's why they go into business.
What propels a business or a service is a passion.
On the part generally of one person who starts it, has got a passion for something, loves doing it, thinks other people would love doing it or having it, embarks on a process of manufacturing it and selling it, and who knows.
People make correct assessments of what the public wants and incorrect assessments all the time.
Businesses come and go.
Successful businesses fade.
Successful businesses grow.
It's never the same.
It cannot be plugged into a formula.
Everybody who runs a business looks at paying people who work for them differently.
I would bet you That if the way I run EIB and the way I quote unquote pay labor were ever analyzed, I'd be told I'm an idiot.
I'd be told you can't do it this way.
You can't make any money doing that.
That's absurd.
You're going to pay them that for what?
See, I have my own personal preferences and desires and things I don't like to do.
And there are other things I love doing.
The things I don't want to do, if somebody else will do them, that's worth a hell of a lot to me.
It's time I don't have to spend doing on doing things I don't want to do.
And if they do it well, and if I don't want to have to worry about them being stolen away or leaving going somewhere else, I'll pay above market value, happily and gladly, just so I don't have to worry about it ever again.
I don't like worrying.
I refuse to worry.
I will pay, not to worry.
Now, other people that run businesses don't do it.
A lot of people go by the book, and if they people don't do the job, fine, you're gone, get somebody else to do it.
And they love the process of dealing with.
I hate process of anything, the process of anything.
Nothing will make me run away faster than having to get involved in the process of something.
But there are people that love process.
And if they can do my portion of the process, and I have to worry about it, and I got total confidence that I'm going to be represented correctly and properly and fairly fine.
I'll pay them commensurately to keep me out of it.
I don't know how many other people do that.
Because I've never really discussed all this great detail with other people in my position.
But I do know that in most places, labor cost is the most expensive, and therefore it's the one that's watched over more closely, the most closely, and it's it's for as little as you can get it.
I'll give you the opposite end of what I just described to you.
When I worked at the Kansas City Royals, this is not to put them down.
When I worked at the Kansas City Royals, it didn't matter how well I did that job.
I was going to make X and not a penny more.
It didn't matter how much they liked me.
Now, maybe I would get promoted to a different job and higher paying job.
That was going to be up to me.
But the job that I had, if I were going to sit there and lose sleep over how much I wasn't making, I was beating my head against the wall because that job was worth X to them.
And they could find thousands of other people to do it one minute after they let me go, if I didn't want to do it anymore.
And in many cases, for less than they were paying me, which at the time was 12,000 a year.
That's a job that happens to attract groupies.
You thought I was going to.
No, it wasn't.
12,000.
I've looked at it.
12,000 back then is about 35,000 today.
This is 1979 that I'm talking about.
I think so.
I ran there, I think I ran the inflation calculator on it.
But the point is, uh they were just, okay, this job is worth X, and we don't have to pay anymore for this job.
And we're not going to pay on anything other than what this job costs.
Now, this guy that just called me, that's the kind of situation where he would say they were exploiting me because they were not paying me for my labor what it was actually worth it.
They were getting far more out of me than they were paying me.
That's the way the Marxists would look at it.
The way this guy would look at it, and he was reading what the Daily Cause Post said to read, he could be president.
He read it pretty well.
But the reality is in the business world, the job is worth what somebody will take.
So I'm making 12.
Let's say I fall in disfavor.
And somebody can come along and they say they'll do it for 10.
They're some years younger than me.
They'll do any and get their foot in the jawer, and they'll take it for 10.
Guess what the job's worth has just become?
Not what Marx says it is, and not what some formula say it is, says it is, but the reality on the grounds is that job's worth 10,000 a year because somebody out there will do it for that.
Well, Rush, what about somebody who'd do it for nothing?
Oh, there would have been plenty of people who'd do it for nothing for a while.
But nobody's allowed to pay anybody nothing.
There are laws about that.
12,000 today is 30.
12,079 is $37,000 today.
But the the dynamics of all this and the real world aspect of every single job, the dynamics involved are something something that escapes theoreticians.
Well, interns snurdly by definition don't get paid anything.
That's of course Monica Lewinsky got paid.
And she paid as well.
But that's the whole thing.
I mean, every position has its own inherent worth and value based on that circumstance, not what some blogger thinks, or not what you can take Abraham Lincoln out of context to mean or to say.
But there is the belief these people have that every business owner has gotten wealthy by screwing the employee.
This is how these people this is this is how they keep themselves in a perpetually ticked off, angry, raged state of mind.
And it's simply a total lack of understanding.
And it's based on a principle that everything has to be handed to you.
And that you ought to be able to get something that's fair and just for not doing anything for it.
Just showing up for work.
Anyway, I'm a little long.
I've got to take a brief timeout.
You sit tight, we'll be back.
More phone calls after the back to the phones we go.
This is Bill in Houston.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Howdy, Rush.
Uh you know, I'm not I'm not sure when the last time you've been down my way is, but if you drive on Houston roads, I mean they're they're blittered with potholes.
We've just had a brutal summer, there's been no rain, water mains are busting everywhere.
You know, our city infrastructure is falling apart.
And in the meantime, there's this jobs bill that's just sitting there.
And I just wanted to ask, when will Republicans, conservatives, Tea Party people just put down politics for one day, do what's right, and put some money in people's pockets.
Uh why is it my job to put money in your pocket?
Uh if you were a congressman, it'd be your job to give uh the opportunity of employment to people who who are without employment.
Is Congressman's job to put money in your pocket?
It's their job to, you know, make sure unemployed people have jobs.
No, it's not.
If there's a job bill, it is guaranteed people jobs and employment, then they should pass it.
There, well, maybe Obama will submit a jobs bill someday.
He has.
No, no, this is a good thing.
He's not submitted a job.
There's not there's no jobs in this bill.
It's a tax increase bill.
It's a tax cut bill.
There's plenty of middle-class tax cuts, Rush, and there's plenty of infrastructure jobs available.
Uh then why don't your local construction people and why don't your local city government want to patch the potholes?
Well, they don't have any money, Rush.
There needs to be revenue.
Well, then you need to pay more taxes.
Well, Rush, if I was a millionaire and if I was paying lower tax rates than you know, my secretary, then I would gladly pay a little more so more folks would be able to do that.
Oh, you'll pay more you'll pay more taxes if the billionaires pay more taxes.
Look, Rush, I mean, I own my own business.
You know, I make six figures a year.
I would be, you know, I would be subject to, you know, possibly a one or two percent tax increase sometimes.
You know, I would be fine with that if it meant the unemployed could find jobs and get hired.
Well, if it meant our energy.
Do you realize if Congress and the president were actually responsible for jobs in this country, we should never have unemployment.
It should be simple.
You pass a jobs bill, people go to work, earn enough money to fill potholes, and we're done.
Yeah, if things were that simple, Rush, that would be great.
But sadly you have one fringe group of people in Congress who are determined to make sure that Obama fails at any cost necessary, even if it means depriving people of the chance to have employment.
Oh, so you you you let me ask you, are you serious about this or are you just putting me on?
No, I'm absolutely serious, Rush.
You should come down to Houston and see these roads.
You should see these watches.
I've I've been to Houston, and I'm telling you, it's not my problem.
Houston doesn't have the problem it has because I'm not paying enough taxes.
I will tell you that.
Houston doesn't have the problems it has because Republicans refuse to sign a jobs bill.
That's not why Houston has the problems it has.
Houston has the problems it has because our infrastructure is falling apart.
Hasn't been improved since the New Deal, Rush.
I'm sorry I didn't catch the last one you said.
We haven't had infrastructure improvements since the New Deal rushed.
Thank you.
And this jobs bill would have those infrastructure improvements.
I thought you said approved since the new infrastructure hasn't been improved since the New Deal.
That's that, sir.
That is a crock of absolute BS.
You cannot travel the friggin' highways of this country without encountering construction delays.
Of years.
Infrastructure hasn't been improved.
And I'll tell you what, go out and buy a construction company, do it yourself, and stop bitching at us.
It's about time you took responsibility for you live and fix it instead of looking to everybody else.
We can't make Obama a failure.
He's done it on his own.
We'll be back.
I've got that Lincoln quote that they circulated at Daily Cause and...
And it's um it's it's it's special session, emergency session of uh Congress, December 3rd, 1861, during the beginning of the Civil War, and it's particularly about slave labor.
At any rate, uh much more coming up.
