Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
So what do we do now, folks?
That's the question.
Everybody wants to know what do we do now?
And what we do now is what we should be doing all along.
I'll give you an example.
Obama's on television this morning.
By the way, hi, Rush Limbaugh here.
You know that.
Telephone number 800 282.
2882.
Obama's on TV this morning.
He was in uh Falls Church, Virginia doing a campaign speech, and in this appearance, he announced yet another plan to bail out people who are underwater in their houses.
This, I don't know what this is.
HARP two HARP III.
This we alluded to this a few weeks ago, where Obama was going to take people over underwater and basically refinance their mortgages and have a monthly payment max out at something six or seven hundred dollars.
It's essentially not quite forgive everybody's mortgage, but the effort was to make them think that was going to happen.
That's the reason, one of the many reasons Obama's out there saying, vote for me today.
We predicted this a few weeks ago.
I think I'm not sure was the first to predict it.
He's promising the government will refinance everybody's loans, no credit checks, no credit checks, no proof of anything.
All you have to do is promise to vote for him.
And that's implied.
That is understood.
I mean, that's that's the whole point of it.
So how do you fight this?
What do we do?
The only thing that has ever had a chance from the first days of this election, this campaign, has been to make it about Obama.
Every day.
On issues, on Obama's record, on the things he can't defend.
That's what needs to happen.
That's what our chance is.
Our team.
Our team, not all that good.
You know it, and I know it.
They're just not.
But look at what we had the CBO projections yesterday.
Folks, it is the latest CBO report mentions projects the U.S. economy to only grow at a rate of 1% in 2013.
That is the year whoever the next president is is inaugurated.
This is the ostensibly nonpartisan CBO, and the projection rate for GDP is 1%, 2.2% for this year.
Some of this is due to Obamacare kicking in in 2013.
In addition, ladies and gentlemen, the Bush tax cuts are going to expire in 2013.
That's not a coincidence that the economy is only going to grow at 1%.
There is going to be at minimum a 30% increase in revenue to the government.
A 30% in other words, 30% more money going to come out of the private sector in the form of tax increases or tax cuts ending.
Let's put it this way.
Tax rates being raised is what's going to happen.
It's going to result in 30% more money headed to Washington.
Also, there's a story here in the stack.
It's from Rasmussen.
The federal deficit for this year is going to be closer to $4 trillion rather than the published $1.1 trillion.
The focus needs to be on Obama.
Whoever you were for, are for in the Republican primary.
At the end of the day, Obama remains the target.
Obama is the ultimate political target.
The White House is the ultimate political objective.
And they don't have a single thing they can defend.
If they want to try to, you know, buy votes, which they will go ahead.
If they want to go negative on whoever the nominee ends up being, they will.
But that Record can't be denied.
This is not 2008.
The magic is gone.
I mean, I've a story here in the stack about racial tensions in the schools.
You know, so what does that say about all our vaunted diversity training for the last 25 years?
All of liberalism is a mess.
It's a gigantic failure, and it needs to be pointed out each and every day.
This needs to be an ideological campaign aimed at Obama.
Congressional Budget Office, yesterday's from Rasmussen, just put up today at noon.
Congressional budget office yesterday reported the federal budget deficit projected to reach 1.1 trillion in 2012.
That number is troubling enough, but the reality is much worse.
The United States will actually go about $4 trillion further in debt during the year.
The difference comes from the fact that government accounting procedures simply ignore the cost of benefits being promised to future Social Security and Medicare recipients.
While precise estimates vary as to how much these promises cost, they are in the range of three trillion dollars every year.
The government does not recognize the debt piling up for future Social Security and Medicare benefits because they have officially determined that no such liability exists.
The old off-budget trick.
It's not there.
As explained in the federal budget, the last one we had, the federal government uses the term trust fund very differently from the private sector.
I'm reading to you from the federal budget.
The beneficiary of a private trust fund owns the trust's income and may own the trust's asset.
For example, you who have trust fund kids and have trust funded your babies $25 million when they hit age 25 or 30.
They own it.
In the private sector, that's what a trust fund is.
The federal government, however, owns and manages the assets and earnings of most federal trust funds.
If that wasn't enough, the government can unilaterally change the law to raise or lower future trust fund collections and payments or change the purpose for which collections are used.
And that's when we go out and play games on the payroll tax reduction game trick, whatever.
Scott Rasmussen notes the simplest way to get people to make bad decisions is to give them bad information.
That's the way conmen work.
And that's how America's political class led America into a fiscal crisis.
For several decades, the federal government's consistently systematically misled the American people about federal spending deficits and the federal debt.
And Rasmussen notes here that the actual federal debts closer to $120 trillion rather than the $16 trillion.
That's all these promises 50 years out.
All the unfunded pensions and liabilities, all of it.
Not $120 trillion.
That's every, not the 16, the $16 trillion is just the sum total of all the annual deficits since the founding of the country.
The $120 trillion is that plus all the promises that have been made to people not born yet, for example, with their Social Security and their Medicare and their Medicaid and what have you.
Food stamps, you name it.
That's what's owed.
Now, there will be revenue against that.
So there's not yet because some of that money is the is is just waiting for revenue in the particular year it's it's it's due to be paid.
So it's still going to be big.
Still going to be so the the answer here, focus on Obama.
It's always been what this has been about.
Every time I've I've I've heard uh Republicans and various corners of the political class and the establishment say, well, I don't want to nominate this guy, I don't want to nominate that guy.
Yeah, well, make the focus Obama.
Don't tell us, don't start whining and moaning about which nominee is gonna be the way I look at it, every damn one of these nominees has been the focus.
It's what happens in a primary.
Do you know and but I've I looked at the exit poll data, and of course the drive-by's love this, and I'll give you a summation of it here.
Romney won every significant category but one.
Every age group, Romney won here in Florida.
Every religious denomination, Romney won.
Every income group, Romney won.
Every ethnicity, Romney won.
He won outright majority of women.
He Newt got 30% fewer votes from women than Romney got.
Romney even tied Gingrich with evangelical Christians.
Now remember the calls we had yesterday on this program.
The evangelicals hate Romney.
They're going to vote for a Mormon.
He tied with the Newtster.
In the evangelical vote, the only sector, the only sector that Gingrich won was very conservative voters.
This is exit poll data now.
Hang in there with me.
Gingrich won very conservative voters, but in the Florida Republican primary, closed primary, according to the exit polls, very conservative voters made up a third of the electorate yesterday.
Very conservative.
Then there's somewhat conservative, and then the number of conservatives is far higher than that, but the very conservative is 30%.
Now it would be a big mistake.
It would be a big mistake.
You could say Gingrich won the cracker vote.
Yeah.
That's what he won, according to the politico.
According to the political, Gingrich won the cracker vote.
And that's what they said at the political they were interested in.
That was going to keep them up late, they said.
Anyway.
When you learn, there's a guy at the Atlanta Urital and Constipation by the name of Jim Galloway.
And the headline of his blog post is all you need to know to explain the exit poll data.
On Florida television, Newt Gingrich was outgunned 65 to 1.
For every one ad that Newt ran, there were 65 Romney ads.
So you can take this exit poll data and you can pretty much toss it.
When you hit not totally toss it, I'm going to say totally ignore it, but when you have that big, a television ad advantage.
It kind of renders all of these sectors less meaningful.
65 Romney ads to every one Gingrich ad.
And of course, last night, cable news still totally immersed in what I did yesterday and how I voted and what that might mean.
And you'll hear it all when we come back.
you Sorry, folks.
Everything about my computer operation is running at one-tenth the normal speed today.
I don't know why, but it's like everything's in mud.
We are back.
Rush Limboy here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Mitt Romney.
Grab audio son by number 19.
This morning on CNN.
It was the starting points of show The Solidette O'Brien.
And she's interviewing the winner of the Florida primaries.
The conservative writer, Kathleen Parker.
By the way, Kathleen Parker is not a conservative, but that's just me.
So we'll just say columnist Kathleen Parker wrote about how it isn't that Romney can't connect with the people, as has been pronounced repeatedly, it's that the people can't connect with him.
This also explains why the far less perfect Newt Can attract support against all reason.
How do you fix that, Mitt?
I'm in this race because I care about Americans.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
We have a safety net there.
If it needs a repair, I'll fix it.
I'm not concerned about the very rich.
They're doing just fine.
I'm concerned about the very heart of America, that the 90-95% of Americans who right now are struggling, and I'll continue to take that message across the nation.
Okay, I like firing people.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
Both of them, if they're standalones and taken out of context, are big problems, and they indicate a problem.
Taken in context, which isn't going to happen with the drive-by media, taken in context, it's understandable.
But I even have a problem with this in context.
I'm not worried about the poor, we got a safety.
The safety net is one of the biggest cultural problems we've got.
We had better be worried about it just like we had better get angry over Obamacare.
Obamacare is worth getting mad about.
Mitt said that it wasn't.
This business, I'm not worried about the very poor.
We got a safety net there.
Right.
The safety net is contributing to the destruction of their humanity and their futures.
Now everybody knows what he's trying to say, but he didn't say it.
And he's he makes himself a target with this stuff.
He comes across as the prototypical rich Republican.
And it it's gonna make it harder and harder and harder to go after Obama because this turns around.
You know, all these wizards of smart in the Republican said, well, you can't have Newt out there.
Why Newt's gonna be the topic.
We need Obama be the topic.
We need Obama be the guy the campaign's about.
But if Newt's out there, it's all gonna be about Newt.
Well, what evidence is it or is there that it's not gonna be about Romney with these kinds of statements?
Let me read to you what who is it Aaron Clon Aaron Goldstein in the American Spectator today.
Note the contrast.
Newt says in insane things every now and then because he bombastic by nature.
He sees himself as needing to fulfill the big ideas image that he's crafted.
Romney, by contrast, says stupid things because he doesn't know any better, and it comes naturally to him.
This is a hard-hitting piece here in the spectator.
Neither of these character flaws is a prescription for success against Obama.
Like Romney, Obama says lots of stupid things.
Corpsman, 57 states, breathalyzer, take a pill, indicative of the fact that he's just not as smart and well educated as he's reputed to be.
but Obama has the media covering every one of his screw-ups, while Romney will have the media magnifying every one of his.
It's like what Rush noted yesterday about that Politico guy, John Martin, talking about Newt going for the cracker vote in the South.
If a conservative journalist said that, he'd be out of a job, but it's a lefty drive-by guy, so it's ho-hum another day in the office.
And then he goes on, let me see, he goes on to say that he's really afraid that Romney's ill-equipped to deal with what's coming.
Romney, too.
You know, Romney complained about Newt's onslaught, but he was in a position to outspend Newt 65-1.
Don't forget that number.
So the Newt onslaught against Romney in the ad-war arena wasn't even a pinprick in the greater scheme of things.
But Obama will be able to match Romney dollar for dollar.
So it says here that Romney's not a very good politician.
Sure, he's a nice guy.
Seems more detached than likable.
This is this is the kind of uh stuff.
And this just bouncing off the I'm not concerned about the very poor.
Yep, 65 to 1.
As I said, uh it's in the Atlanta Urinal constipation, Jim Galloway.
right there in his headline.
Sixty-five ads for every one Newt ad in Florida.
So you can take whatever the exit poll data is and de-emphasize it significantly.
Mitt comes out of Florida winning every category, but when you learn that he ran 65 ads for every ad that Newt ran, it kind of mitigates a little bit the uh power of this stuff.
So we're being told all kinds of falsehoods and have been told all kinds of falsehoods or misleading things by the established, such as we can't have new.
How many times have you heard this?
We can't have Newt be the nominee because that means the campaign will be all about him.
Media will make it about him, the Democrats will make it about him, because Newt's got so much baggage.
And then you get to the electability question.
Well, where is the evidence of that?
As somebody pointed out last week, he's won nine out of 25 elections.
Maybe 10 out of 26.
Election.
And yet he's got the electability category all sewn up.
So Obama not that smart, not nearly as smart as his reputation, but the media there to cover it up.
But Romney will say things like, I don't like firing people.
And again, in context, you can make a case for what he's saying.
I know what he means about this.
I don't care about the very poor.
He means is they're taken care of.
He's trying to relate and connect to the middle class with that statement.
But the way he put it offers an opportunity for everybody to do everything but point that out.
Here are the raw numbers on ads in and spending in Florida from the Wesleyan Media Project.
Even though Romney has not been on the airwaves as much this time around as he was in 2008, the Romney campaign and allies have uh aired almost 13,000 ads on broadcast television across the state.
This was as of Wednesday the 25th.
Gingrich and his allies have aired about 200 commercials.
Ron Paul and Santorum were out of the TV game.
They didn't spend any.
There was no ad, there were no ads.
So Newt's got uh 200 spots that he ran in Romney 13,000.
That's a 65 to 1 ratio.
In terms of the number of ads run.
And the the dollar equivalent is accordingly going to be off the charts.
So exit bowl data is what it is, but with that kind of smother.
Now the whole state has been smothered with Romney Romney Romney, and every now and then you see a Newt ad.
Newt's so mad he hadn't even called Romney to congratulate her to concede her.
And he's not even a robo call, folks.
He hadn't even called at all, not even a computerized call.
I want to give the Romney uh sound bites here on the not concerned about the very poor, going to two of them actually, and then we'll go to the uh media review of last night.
So here's Mitt on CNN this morning, and Solidad O'Brien wants to know how how do you fix this?
Newt's able to connect to people, and you apparently aren't.
I'm in this race because I care about Americans.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
We have a safety net there.
If it needs a repair, I'll fix it.
I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine.
I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90-95% of Americans who right now are struggling, and I'll continue to take that message across the nation.
So everybody knows what he's trying to say here, but you give them, I not concerned about the very poor.
You chop it off there, and it could be about anything.
I'm not concerned about the poor and the way they're eating.
I'm not concerned about the poor in the car they have.
I'm not concerned about the poor where they live.
Can do all kinds of things with that.
And it isn't gonna be enough to say, well, hey, hey, hey, you take an eye context.
The whole thing.
We know what he's trying to do.
He's trying to zero in and tell the middle class I'm thinking of you.
But this repair the safety net stuff.
Safety net is contributing to poverty.
The safety net contributes to poverty.
It does not solve it.
We've got proof every year since the Great Society and whatever else uh Johnson named it, starting in the 60s.
Hasn't fixed anything.
Solidad O'Brien then followed up.
I gotta ask you, you you just said I'm not concerned about the very poor because they have a safety net.
And I think there are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling who would say that sounds odd.
Can you explain that?
Well, you had to finish the sentence, uh Soledad.
I said, I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net, but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.
Got it.
Right.
Oh, okay, got it, got it.
So but it's still, even with the clarification, you note that I mean the headline, Newt, or or Mid, I don't care about the poor.
Headlines up.
Let's go to the audio sound bites featuring cable TV pundits and analysts.
Jim Vande High this morning on MSNBC on Morning Joe.
Jim Vande Hy, the uh uh executive editor of the politico.
What Newton needs is he needs the anti-establishment conservatives to officially rally around him.
He would really need, and I think in pretty short order, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, other conservative leaders who don't like Washington conservatives to basically all gather around and say he's our guy.
Scarborough replied He's got Sarah Palin because you listened to her last night on Fox, and I mean she's everything but a new surrogate right now.
Not so with Rush Limbaugh, though.
A lot of people have mistakenly been saying that Rush has gotten behind new.
He's not going there.
And I think Newt Gingrich did more to hurt himself with people like Rush Limbaugh and other bedrock conservatives with those silly bane attacks a couple of weeks ago.
Then Jim Vanderhee decided to reply to that.
One of our reporters emailed Rush Limbaugh yesterday before the vote, and Limbaugh said he was undecided on who he was going to vote for.
If he actually ended up voting for Romney, that would be a huge uh surprise and a big blow to Gingrich.
And that prompted Scarborough to keep it all going.
Very difficult, and Limbaugh yesterday commented on how he was getting hammered by some for not attacking Romney enough.
And, you know, not trying to read between the lines, but it's certainly possible, judging from what he said that the guy voted for Romney or Santorum.
They're still dying to know.
They're still trying to figure it out.
Staying on the same show.
Morning Joe, Scarborough, new guest, Time magazine senior political analyzer, Mark Halperon.
And they're talking about the primary.
And Halperon decided to weigh it.
He said this.
Part of what this month is about is waiting to see what happens to that conservative movement that Jim's talking about, and whether they see Romney now as somebody who has to be stopped.
Okay.
So that's uh that's Mark Halperin, summing it up by saying the next month is gonna be determined by what happens on this show.
Is that what you heard, Snertley?
And when he says part of what this month is about is waiting to see what happens to that conservative movement that Jim's talking about, and whether they see Romney now as somebody's gotta be stopped.
So they are gonna be listening with rapt attention to everything that happens on that they do anyway, but particularly for the next month on this show.
Because February's pretty quiet in terms of coke eye and uh uh primaries, Super Tuesday, is uh is up next.
So we go to last night, the MSNBC's special Florida primary coverage, the co-host Rachel Maddow.
By the way, I feel bad for Rachel.
She was a Jeopardy question recently, and nobody had heard of her.
Rachel Maddow was a qua, I think Jeopardy question, some game show on TV, and nobody knew who she was.
None of the contestants had ever heard of her.
That's gotta be a blow.
Particularly when you work at MSNBC and you end up thinking that gazillions watch you every night and that they have a pop culture game show, have no contestant knowing who you are.
Got got to hurt.
Anyway, she was hosting uh F. Chuck Todd, who is the NBC News political director.
And they were having a discussion about criticism of Romney by conservatives.
And Maddow said, Do you think that if the margin is huge enough for Mitt Romney tonight, that he essentially decides he can weather the storm, he doesn't have to take the Tea Party people seriously enough, he can just keep winning states.
Here's what F. Chuck Todd said.
Does he want constantly over the next month uh an array of folks on talk radio basically attacking him for taking them for granted?
You gotta remember about the talk radio base of the Republican Party.
It's not a majority of the party, but it's the loudest, it's the most vocal of the party, and he can't afford to have them constantly badgering him on this.
So he has got to figure something out about having to come up with some sort of new plan, new tax idea.
That's the thing I keep hearing that there's a lot of people prodding him.
Come up with a simpler, more easy to digest and bolder tax plan idea that could excite both the base and yet actually have a conversation with independents.
So it's still the independent independent conversation with independence.
That's where the future of electability is for for the Republican nominee.
Got to be there.
But but what F. Chuck is saying here, basically, and the idea that that's formulating out there is that Mitt Romney has to come up with some kind of new idea that'll shut up talk radio.
Just shut up talking.
Let me let me give you a hint here.
We don't need any new ideas.
Just embrace some of the old ones.
Some of the old, tried and tested and true ideas.
Embrace those.
We don't the talk radio base is the Republican Party.
And I know they're thinking they're gonna pay attention to this show for the next month to find out, but isn't everything in politics determined by what happens on this show?
And I thought going into yes, I thought Romney owned talk radio through Bain Capitol.
That's what they're talking about.
But Romney owned it.
Stephen Hayes was on the uh Fox show last night, and they responded.
There was a the my last comments on this show yesterday created a big buzz out there.
The very last words.
I don't know if you heard them.
This is how I ended yesterday's excursion into broadcast excellence.
Well, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellences in the can.
By the way, folks, just I have to remind you again that Gingrich debated John Kerry on global warming one point, and they agreed on practically every point.
Nobody is innocent.
Everybody is guilty of some transgression somewhere against conservatism, except Santorum.
See you tomorrow.
Well, even Snerdley got wide-eyed at that one.
They all on the other side of the glass got wide-eyed at that one.
That was the last 20 seconds of the program.
But they're out there listening to all of it.
That became a big discussion point.
Special report with Brett Bear.
They played that bite.
And Stephen Hayes from Weekly Standard.
Baer said, What about Santorum?
Potentially attracting conservatives who may be disenchanted with this back and forth in Florida.
At the end of the Rush Limbaugh show today, he mentioned Rush Limbaugh did, said, you know, Rick Santorum is the only one in this race who's doesn't have to apologize for anything that he's done or hasn't strayed from conservatism.
Was that tantamount to an endorsement?
People are debating that, probably short of an endorsement, but I know Santorum's people are quite happy that Limbaugh gave him that shout out.
All right, so what do we?
We have we have now the media thinking that I have endorsed them all.
Or not in, but I've I've I've expressed a preference for all of them.
From Jim Vande Hy and the guys at Politico to F. Chuck Todd to the people at Fox on the Brett Bear roundtable.
I'd say brilliantly played here.
Did I call Mitton here?
No, it'sn't called Mitt and congratulate him.
But not but neither did Newt either.
He's not even a robocall.
I know.
I didn't why.
Did I call Mitt and congratulate him?
Why would I why why why would I?
You mean for myself or for Newt?
Hey, Mitt, hi, it's Rush.
Yeah, I just talked to Sarah and Newt.
We're calling congrats.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah, right.
Alex Castellanos.
He's a uh Republican strategist.
He was on CNN special Florida primary coverage last night with Anderson Cooper.
Who said can Gingrich continue to raise the money down the road, especially if Romney has a good February in other states?
Can he resist what'll be growing pressure if Romney continues to win?
I think the guy to watch coming out of all this is Santorum.
As we go into some of these uh states coming up, who's the Republican who has the highest favorable ratings?
Santorum.
If Romney has to keep his foot with negative ads on Gingrich's throat, that means Santorum can run loose a little bit.
If conservatives are going to unite on an anti-Romney candidate, I think the bet now is Santorum.
By the way, this isn't over, folks.
They still only have 48 some odd delegates that have been pledged out of 1100 plus.
I think the number's 1144.
It isn't over.
And the further, by the way, in Florida, the further north you go in Florida, the closer to the South you get.
And Gingrich won North Florida.
The cracker vote.
And and everybody is conventional wisdom is that Gingrich is going to do very well in the Southern States.
The Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Joja.
Just as he did in uh uh South Carolina, so did well there.
So that it isn't over by any stretch.
They're trying to make it sound like it is because of momentum and money.
That's that's the thing.
Now you know what Newt's biggest challenge is right now.
Finding people who give him money.
Given all of the thought, the conventional wisdom, all the media, finding people who will donate is going to be big challenge.
But 94% of the uh delegates are still up for grabs.
You asked me if I'm gonna call Romney, you gotta put put yourself in my position.
Uh you have to love all of your children equally.
I I'm the father of the party.
I can't show you see the stock market shoot up this morning after Romney said he didn't care about the poor.
Well, I mean, shut up.
I don't know if it actually because he said he didn't care about the poor.
But the market did shoot up.
Mark Halpern, Time Magazine, just now on uh MSNBC had a comment.
They played the Romney soundbite, and then they played uh then Halpert had this to say.
If this debate and this campaign is going to be fought over, who misspeaks and which side's war room is better able to mock it on YouTube, I think the country will be the poor for it.
That's not a defense of Mitt Romney, it's a criticism of our business, letting political opposition define the news cycle by taking something where the guy didn't speak clearly.
Well, all of a sudden Halpern's worried about taking people out of context.
When it happens to Romney, all of a sudden a drive-by is a concern.
We'll be poorer in our politics, but don't doubt me.
We'll be poorer as a country if we continue to take people out of context.
To the phone, Syracuse, New York.
This is uh Alan.
I thought it said alien up there, but it doesn't.
It says Alan, welcome to the program.
Thanks, Rush.
Uh after all the years I've talked, uh listened to you, you finally got me mad enough to call you.
All right.
Uh oh.
Oh.
I don't know if uh uh Sarah Pell, is she staying down to your house, would you down in Florida?
Or um you guys kind of sound alike last night on the uh on the television.
I wasn't on television last night.
And I've I for the for the record I've never met Sarah Palin.
I'm sorry, sir.
You were on uh you were on yesterday and you were talking about the percentages that uh Romney had to beat Santorum and he had to uh beat uh uh Gingrich or uh he wasn't in the race.
Well, he'd beat them both.
Uh on the if you had the percentages up.
You're right.
I didn't say it was gonna be definite.
It was close, it was one point, but you're right.
I thought yesterday it was possible Santorum and uh Gingrich together could beat Romney, but they didn't.
Romney beat him by one point.
You're right.
So it's pay for the biggest.
I know where I know where Romney's heart is.
Don't ask me why, but I know where his heart is.
It's with the poor.
I we know.
Yeah.
And I'll I'll say one thing about that, though.
There's only one person in there in that race that can get a billion dollars to beat that president that we have in the White House.
To beat that what?
Beat that president in the White House.
I I cleaned that up.
Yeah.
But uh but uh but there's only you ought to you ought to give Romney a million dollars.
Okay?
Not legal.
