Time Text
Hi.
Hey you, folks.
Great to have you here.
It's Rush Limbaugh serving humanity.
As usual, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
We always do that, because I'm a nice guy.
Telephone number 800 28282 and email address, lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Today is D Day.
How many people you think know what D Day is.
You think over 40 years old only half know what D Day is?
Wow.
D Day, of course, the invasion at Normandy.
World War II.
The Allies invading France and getting it back from the Nazis.
I was there.
Not when it happened.
I went later.
And Omaha Beach, it's it's it's an amazing place.
If you ever get a chance, go to France.
Omaha Beach, Normandy.
Go to Puan Duho.
It's spelled for those of you in Rio Linda Point Duhoc.
Pound Duho.
This is where the Army Rangers climbed 200 feet straight up, being gunned down by German machine gunners.
It's down the road from Omaha Beach.
Reagan made his speech, his famous Normandy speech at Poinduho.
These are the boys of Wonduho, he said.
This is an amazing place.
And Obama is not commemorating it.
Second time in a row, second year in a row, Obama not oh, he's fundraising in California.
Not even a brief event to mark the 68th anniversary of D-Day.
Obama already on his way to San Francisco.
He'll have a couple razors there before going on to Beverly Hills for two more.
Meanwhile not lifting a finger to help anybody.
Does anybody know who Amanda Bynes is, the actress?
She's 26-year-old.
You know who Amanda Bynes is?
I'm I ought, you know, to show that I'm hip and everything.
Oh yeah, Amanda Bines.
I don't know who she is.
All I know is this.
She was charged yesterday with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and she has asked Obama to fire the cop who arrested her.
She's serious.
She gets arrested for DUI, and she says she's going to get Obama on this.
And she made in a pits in People Magazine where they think it's cool.
Yeah, this is exactly the kind of brain dead voter that still supports Obama.
There are death threats against Scott Walker.
Milwaukee Police Department said that they and the Wisconsin Department of Justice are looking into death threats made against Governor Walker.
They are all over the internet.
One guy even claims that Walker's dead within a week that he's already put out the contract, he's bought the hit.
But it's particularly vicious and it's voluminous.
There are a lot of Democrats who have gone online and to Twitter and any number of other places, Democrat websites, demanding that Walker die.
Demanding that Scott Walker be killed.
I haven't heard any calls some civility, forcivility, haven't heard anybody say this is uncivil.
I haven't heard anybody suggest that Obama, the Democrats, need to get in gear here and calm down their voters.
I'm not hearing any of it.
I'm not hearing anybody say that Obama ought to disavow these people.
I'm not hearing anybody say Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz or anybody else of the Democrat Party hierarchy ought to distance themselves.
Now Romney, meanwhile, ought to throw Trump overboard, and Romney ought to throw me overboard, but these people that are threatening to kill Scott Walker or who are happily celebrating should it happen.
No, no, no, it's just politics, Rush.
You have to kind of uh expect it.
Back to the audio sound bites.
Back to the polling date.
If you missed the first hour, it's too bad.
You'll be able to catch it at Rush Limbaugh.com.
We spent a lot of time focusing on the polls, the exit polls, how how just worthless they were, totally wrong.
And in the White House today, guarantee at the campaign, they're asking themselves if any of their polling is accurate.
Is any of it right?
Remember, these people live and die by it.
They live and die.
They plan everything they do on polls, political, personal.
And I would hate to live that way.
I would hate to be a prisoner to that kind of, but they do, and they have to be asking themselves now.
Oh, and I want to repeat something.
The uh elections in San Diego and San Jose, where public sector employees were told that they're going to have to start contributing some to their own pensions and health care in retirement.
It's not just Wisconsin, but I want to I want to make this point here that they're not being asked to pick up the whole thing.
It's really little.
These so-called union cuts are not draconian.
They're merely being asked to pay a pittance toward their own insurance and their own pensions.
In Wisconsin's case, it's uh 12% of the pension, 5% to health care.
Maybe it's verse visa.
Which only makes sense.
Whatever happened to this notion in America, if you want it, you buy it.
If you want it, you pay for it.
Whatever happened to that, why is that considered so out of touch?
Where did this sense of entitlement come from?
This sense of entitlement has grown so strong that there no longer is any rationality to it.
The people who feel this sense of entitlement, who think they are owed some, they're union people.
They are public sector union people.
I'm not talking about, I'm talking about government workers, federal, state.
They don't even have any concept of where the money they have comes from.
They feel entitled to other people's earnings.
Those people, many of them are out of work.
They're not earning anything.
Therefore, they're not paying any taxes.
Therefore, the money to pay these pensions and health care plans in retirement is dwindling.
They don't care.
It's gimme gimme gimme.
I'm entitled to it.
I'm a member of a union.
It means I've been shafted my whole life.
That's what they obviously think.
Being a member of a union, being a minority, you get the shaft in America.
And I'm owed.
I am owed for taking the hit and for getting the shaft.
I want my pension.
I want my health care.
Oh, okay, fine.
You have this sense of entitlement.
Do you have any idea where it comes from?
Do you have any idea what happens when that pile of money shrinks and ceases to exist?
What of your entitlement then?
How about paying a little bit of your own?
No way.
I have been screwed my whole life.
That's what being a member of a union is.
This country screws us.
This country shafts us.
This country takes advantage of us.
We are owed.
What if there's no money?
Get it.
It doesn't matter.
Print it.
I don't care where you get it.
It's ours.
We want it.
It's almost uh childlike.
All of this in Wisconsin, if you want to boil it down, all of this rigamarole, this tumult, this chaos, really was about people in unions being told, you know what?
You're gonna have to pay a little of your health care and a little of your pension.
And all hell broke loose.
Oh, and also the fact that collective bargaining rights were taken away.
I kept, I loved reminding all these people that, you know, FDR, who is their god before Obama.
FDR would not permit collective bargaining for federal union employees.
You can't do it.
I forget the exact quote FDR said, you cannot have the people who are paid by the taxpayer threatening to go on strike.
You can't get into a collective bargaining agreement with them.
Can't have, I mean, that's it's it's it won't work.
As FDR knew it would set the American people against each other.
Would set the American people up as enemies of one another.
At least he knew that.
None of that, of course, matters.
L FDR got up on the wrong side of bed that day.
FDR was stupid that day.
And we don't FDR didn't know what he was talking about.
That day.
It was Jimmy Carter who took away collective bargaining from federal workers.
Jimmy Carter.
Scott Walker only took away some of their collective bargaining rights, not nearly all of them.
That's what little it was that caused all this tumult.
Audio sound bites.
We have a montage for you here.
CNN and ABC journalists.
All excited here about the exit polling.
In the exit polls tonight, the voters say they are inclined.
If the election were today, President Obama would have won by a decent margin.
Exit polls show those very same people who let Governor Walker keep his job in exit polling said, "I'm going to support President Obama." Good news for Obama and the numbers.
Exit polls show that voters still favor him 53 to 47.
Even though Walker won by seven points against Barrett last night, voters polls said that they largely favored President Obama.
This exit poll shows that Obama leads Romney in the state.
The same people who voted today said they'd vote for Obama by nine points, so that's pretty significant.
You know, a lot of people, though, fell for this.
The exit polls had it wrong.
The exit polls had this 50-50.
The exit polls said that the networks couldn't call the race until the real votes would count because it was too close.
So the exit poll, which was off by seven points, Walker's victory margin.
That same exit poll is cited by these wizards of SMART as showing Obama would win by nine over Romney.
Wait a minute.
How can you do that?
The exit poll was full of it.
The exit poll was worthless.
Well, yeah, but see that's where it says there that Obama would win by nine.
That's what we want to happen.
So we're going to believe that.
We're going to report that.
But but none of the exit poll information ended up being right.
Doesn't matter.
We like that.
We're going to report that.
Obama wins by nine if if if if the presidential race was today.
Really, you believe that?
You believe in a state where Scott Walker wins by seven in an exit poll situation shows the race tied that Obama wins by nine.
Yeah, yeah, that's what we're going to believe it because we want to believe it, and that's what the exit poll says.
Well, what about the rest of the exit poll that was wrong?
Well, that's we want to believe that.
So that's what's going to be.
Modern American journalism.
Move forward.
Audio soundbite 13.
I'm sorry, 12.
This is Bill Clinton, who is gone rogue.
He is on the war path, undercutting Obama in two ways.
He's taking the opposite position from Obama on the Bush tax cuts.
And he's also saying that we have slipped back into a recession.
We're not in a recovery.
We're already in a double dip recession.
What I think they should do is to find a way to keep the expansion going.
They will probably have to put everything off until early next year.
That's probably the best thing to do right now.
I don't have any problem with the extending all of it now, including the current spending levels.
They're still pretty low, the government spending levels.
But I think they look high because there's a recession.
Bill Clinton, that's on CNBC with Maria Baccharomo, and the question he was asked was, so what about this upcoming fiscal cliff?
A lot of people are worried.
Markets certainly have been reaching to the idea the Bush tax cuts will expire at the end of the year.
Spending programs uh will expire.
Should those programs and tax cuts be extended?
No Obama wants the Bush tax cuts dead, once them over.
And is also touting his recovery.
Clinton went out, cut him off at both knees on CNBC yesterday.
Last night on the NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams talking to Clinton.
He said, Roger Simon, the political writer, has a piece in the web today, headlined Bill Clinton out of control in 2012.
And people, Mr. President, are wanting to find room between you and the president on issues like Romney and Vain Capital.
But you quote that they had a sterling record in their line of work.
Is there any difference between you and the tack the Obama campaign's taken?
Mr. Simon may think I should be an employee of the campaign, but I'm not.
You know, I've been aghast by all this flutter about it.
I don't think I should have to criticize Romney personally to disagree with his politics.
Roger Simon wrote that Clinton is uh employee, the campaign.
And Clinton, I'm nobody's employee.
I don't have a boss.
Who these people think they are?
Mr. Simon may think I ought to be an employee, but I'm not.
I don't work for anybody except Hillary.
I don't work for anybody.
Now he's out there, I'll tell you, folks, this is um insubordination.
It's it from Obama's standpoint's insubordination.
From Clinton's standpoint, it's you know what?
This little ego maniacal little emperor is gonna have to be taught the ways of the world, and I am the guy to do it.
Here.
Did Clinton say that?
He did.
Clinton debts right in the South Carolina primary.
In the South Carolina primary in 2008, that's right.
Clinton said of Obama, he was talking to some other guy, talking to Ted Kennedy.
Clinton was talking to Ted Kennedy, and they were talking about Obama.
And he said, You know, Ted, wasn't long ago this guy been serving us drinks.
And word of that got out, and that's when Clinton started hearing that he had thrown the race card.
Yeah, yeah, Ted, you know, what long ago this guy had been serving us drinks.
Who does he think he is running around treating everybody like the way he is?
I'm telling you, I I think pent up frustration, Clinton's been waiting for the moment for payback, and it is upon us.
Back after this.
Do not go away, folks.
Yeah, you know, it wasn't that long ago, Ted.
Had guy Obama, he'd be serving us coffee.
He'd be getting us adult beverages.
And we're back, Rush Limboy having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Here is Dana Bash, Dana Bash at CN last night on Anderson Cooper 133, had fill-in host John King doing double duty.
And he's talking to Dana Bash, a CNN InfoBabe, about uh Clinton's remark that the Bush tax cuts should be extended.
And and John King said to Dana Bash, what's the conversation on the ground?
As opposed to what's a conversation in the air.
What's a conversation on the ground, John?
Just from my regular perch on Capitol Hill, the fact that President Clinton said that he would potentially take uh tax cuts off the table is not going to make Democrats on Capitol Hill happy because privately they have been saying that they have a big card, and that is if they sit back and do nothing, taxes go up.
And that is why they feel that they really have Republicans there.
And President Clinton saying, well, maybe we shouldn't use that card.
Democrats on Capitol Hill again.
Not happy.
Democrats on Capitol Hill not happy.
Clinton throwing away one of their cards to use as leverage.
The Republicans want the Bush tax cuts extended.
What'll they pay for that?
What will they give up?
And now Clinton's out there basically agreeing with the Republicans.
And I think the conventional wisdom is the Bush tax cuts are going to be extended anyway.
Even if Obama wins, they're going to be extended.
Yeah, that's conventional wisdom.
There isn't going to be any economic improvement.
It's going to have to extend them.
That's the conventional wisdom.
Now, conventional wisdom is often wrong.
I'm just telling what the conventional Wisdom is.
Not that they're right.
The conventional wisdom is that no matter who wins, the Bush tax cuts get extended.
But the Democrats don't want anybody thinking that that's automatic.
They want to have the Republicans give up something for that.
And Clinton is blowing that all the smithereens.
But David Rodham Gurgen, who is the walking embodiment of Washington conventional wisdom, was also on John King USA before he went to Anderson Cooper 133 as guest host.
And John King said to David Rodham Gurgen, uh what David should we take from all of this?
This could give the president some cover.
I have to say this.
Bill Clinton tells the truth, but he's also the best spokesman for Obama on many issues.
Last night he gave a very, very strong endorsement of the president.
I've talked to people who were there at that fundraiser.
They said Bill Clinton did a better job of framing the choice for Obama in the fall than Obama himself.
Yeah.
I mentioned this at the beginning of the program, that here's Clinton out there apparently undercutting Obama, but the smart thinking, conventional wisdom is that Clinton is simply giving Obama cover to extend the Bush tax cuts.
That Obama would pay a price if he did it himself without any support whatsoever.
But if he's got Clinton paving the way and softening the blow, if Bill Clinton, who is still universally loved and adored and celebrated, the Democrat Party says, hey, buddy, after you bring me that coffee, I think you better extend the Bush tax cuts.
Then when Obama does it, less of a problem for Obama since the way has been paved.
That's the theory from David Rodham Gurgan.
And I think that's wishful thinking on their part.
I don't think anybody can say Clinton's out there trying to engineer his re-election.
No need to think about it.
We do that for you here at the EIB network.
Your phone calls are coming right up.
There's a couple things.
Actually, three things.
First, I do not believe Obama will extend the Bush tax cuts.
I'm telling you the conventional you heard it from David Rodham Gurgen.
You heard it.
He could give the president some cover.
I have to tell you, Clinton tells the truth.
He also the best spokesman for Obama.
Well, I thought Obama was the great communicator.
Why does why does Obama need a spokesman?
There's no way Obama is going to extend the Bush tax cuts, and David Rodham Gurgen does not know what he's talking about.
He's the old Castrati.
He's not the new Castrati.
These guys, Obama's not conventional.
They don't, they're still caught up in this notion Obama wants physical reform.
He wants physical restraint.
They still believe that Obama's getting policies to lower the deficit.
The Gurgens of the world, the the all of the aged writers at all the time and newsweek, they still look at this in conventional political terms.
Obama is not about continuing anything that's rooted in capitalism.
If he wins re-election, the Bush tax cuts are not going to be extended.
I don't care what he can extract from the Republicans for it.
It isn't going to happen.
And that's why Clinton running around and saying he thinks they should be extended is such a big deal.
He's undercutting Barry again.
Now the the second thing, and this is a I want to pose this as a little think piece for you.
Because I find this fascinating.
I ran across this at uh PJ Media.com, pajamasmedia.com.
There's a guy there by David Goldman, writes under the name of Spencer.
You know, we have always focused on the tipping point in this country being where net takers from the government begin to outnumber the payers.
People getting government assistance, outnumbering those of us who pay taxes to pay for it.
That's always been what we've looked at as the tipping point that the country's lost once there are more of them than there are of us.
But Mr. Goldman points out, and he's got plenty of charts.
I'll send a link to Coco.
We'll link to it at Rushlimbo.com.
Give me some time to do that because I'm swamped here.
But he points out that the biggest net takers, and he's got the chart data to back this up.
The biggest net takers are not welfare recipients.
The biggest net takers are the municipal unions.
Federal and state employees.
Now, this dovetails with, I mean, their total to everything they have comes from taxes.
It's not called welfare.
It's called their salaries and their pensions and their health care and their benefits package.
But every dime of it comes from taxpayers.
Government doesn't produce anything.
Every federal worker, municipal, employee union, and every state is who Mr. Goldman says are the biggest net takers.
Now Snerdley's in there frowning because he's so rooted in this notion that the food stamp crowd and the AFTC crowd and all these others are the biggest net takers.
But this guy's got the chart data.
Again, it does me no good on the radio to show you.
But just stick with me on this.
Not very complicated.
The biggest net takers are municipal unions, the biggest net payers are owners of property.
Because it's much easier to raise property taxes than it is to enact brand new taxes.
What you you get your property tax bill?
What recourse do you have?
It goes up.
What do you you have no recourse?
Even when your property value is falling, your property taxes are going up, are they not?
So biggest net takers, municipal unions, biggest net payers are property owners.
Now, fortunately, property owners still significantly outnumber municipal union workers.
So the tipping point in this way of looking at things is a little down the road.
We're not quite as close to it.
And added to this, property owners are ticked off.
Their property values are way down, and yet their taxes are way up.
And this could be one of the best things that we have going for us that's not commented on, not reported on.
This could explain in part the origins of the Tea Party.
Tea Party are property owners, not all of them, but many of them are.
Their home values are plummeting, property taxes are rising, everybody's Wisconsin recall and the whole contre-ton of the past two years is focused attention.
How many people, largely because of this program?
How many people do you think for the first time really understand how municipal employees are paid?
And how many people for the first time understand they're earning more than the people who are paying them?
And how many people for the first time understand the circuitous laundry money route, laundry uh money laundering route that union does take before they end up in campaign coffers of Democrats?
It's a never-ending cycle.
Here's how it works.
It's very simple.
Taxpayer Joe Snerdley pays his taxes.
A portion of Joe Snerdley's taxes goes to pay Melvis Nerdley, the union employee that works at the city.
And her salary and her pensions and her benefit.
She's a member of a union.
She pays dues.
The dues go to the union leaders who do what with it?
Spend it to re-elect Democrats.
It's a law, it's a money laundering scheme.
It's a way to get people to donate to Democrats who have no control over the money.
It's not very many unions that allow their union members to direct how their dues are going to be spent.
By the way, an added source of contre ton to join a union if they didn't want to, and that takes the dues out of the whole thing, and the money laundering scheme takes a hit.
And that's another reason why the unions were fit to be tied in Wisconsin.
How many people do you think are learning this for the first time?
How many people, at largely because, well, forget why, we all know why.
And in the midst of this, the Tea Party is born, and people, property owners, their taxes are going, they finally figure out what their taxes are doing.
They're funding all these union people who are showing up and beating up people at Tea Party rallies and so forth.
And they said, we're paying these people.
It's our taxes paying these people.
It's our taxes paying their pension.
And we don't have a pension.
It's our taxes paying their health care after they retire, and we don't have anything like that.
It's our taxes paying them.
And they're out there saying, give me more, give me more, give me more.
They're out there with a sense of entitlements.
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, and they're tearing things up like state capital buildings that'll get their way like a bunch of spoiled rotten kids.
People are finally saying, no more.
And if we'd have known this 30 years ago, we'd have stopped it then.
And that's why it's not going to go away.
That's why the Tea Party's not going to vanish.
That's why it's not going to dematerialize.
It's only going to intensify.
More and more people have a hands-on understanding of it.
Oh, another thing.
That that those ads we played yesterday with Sarah Jessica Parker and what was her name?
Metal block.
Anna Winter.
Anna Winter.
Big sweepstakes.
Dinner at Jessica Parker's house with Clinton and Muchell.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yah.
Who today, a brand new two if by tea sweepstakes announced coming up in the next hour, that's going to blow anything Clinton does out of the water.
And particularly for you golfers or people who know people who like play golf.
I got a quick timeout.
We'll come back.
Your phone calls are next.
Don't go away.
Okay, and we're going to start on the phones in Bedford, Indiana.
Hi, Mary, I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Um, yeah, I was going to ask or talk to you at the very first part of the show, I heard you talking about uh the exit polls and how they can be so wrong.
And um my husband's a union member, and I can tell you that um they won't uh a union member probably won't be truthful to a polster if they're not gonna a lot of them who will vote Republican will not say that.
They'll say, you know, they would say they would re uh support Obama.
Oh, a union person who votes Republican won't be honest with the pollster yourself.
Well, you know, that's my my opinion, but this has happened to me where I've been called, and mainly by the the local, and they'll say, you know, actually, in the last Obama or the last election, and they would say, you know, are you going to the polls?
You know, we want to make sure everybody gets the polls will you vote for Obama?
And I'm like, yeah.
Well, you wouldn't say no because totally understand this.
Totally understand.
I look at you know why I understand it?
I'll tell you what I understand it.
Because I know that everybody is obsessed with what other people think of them.
So, you're walking out of the polling place, you're in Wisconsin, the news media is filled with the fact that unions are God's gift to everything, and that Satan is Scott Walker and the Republicans.
So you walk out, and there's an exit poller, and once the pollster wants to know how you voted, the safest thing to do is to tell them you voted for the Democrats.
Then the union guy will, or the pollster will love you and not get mad at you and won't yell at you, and maybe won't follow you home, and maybe won't poison your water.
That's what people think.
By the same token, if somebody calls you, even if it's a roll ball call, polling you at home on the presidential preference, and one of the candidates is Obama, oh gosh, I'm voting the black guy.
I don't care what his name is.
You want to write it down in all Caps, I'm voting the black guy.
Then you hang up, turn to your wife.
You think we're okay?
Think we're safe.
I have no doubt that this happens.
People want and like their kneecaps.
They want to hold on to them.
So if you are a union guy in Wisconsin, you walk out, you've just voted for Walker, and here's some exit pollster, and you know he works for a network.
So you mind telling us how you voted?
Not at all.
What do you want to know?
Who'd you vote for?
I voted for uh Tom Barrett.
All right, Polster writes it down.
Then you lie about everything and you go home and you're safe.
And in the process you confound him.
I have no doubt that that's happening.
This is why the unions want card check.
They don't like secret ballots.
If the secret ballots, the union, who knows how much strength that they would lose.
I mean, just go to Twitter.
Look at all the death threats that Scott Walker's getting.
Look at the death threats Scott Walker's getting.
If you think Walker's getting death threats, you think, well, maybe you'd be a target too if you admit you voted for him.
To a pollster.
And you also think, my gosh, they know who I am, even though they say they don't want my name.
They know who I am.
They can find out who I am.
They all think.
Jesse Jackson, I've got it here.
I printed that out.
Where did I?
Jesse Jackson compared Scott Walker to uh George Wallace.
I've got it here somewhere.
Where did I put it?
It's in one of my stacks here, but I do have it.
I'll find me go on to the phones.
Um Mary, thanks.
I appreciate it.
Jim in Houston, Texas.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Thanks for taking my call rush.
I appreciate it and I appreciate all that you do.
Thank you very much, sir.
Sitting here with my three grandkids turning them into rush babies.
My question is, if this election in Wisconsin sent a note to the Democrats, what do you think it sends to the Republican National Committee and to Romney because you've already touched on the fact that the compromise is an out thing and it always has been, but do you think Romney will get the message that he needs to be able to do that?
I hope so much moderate and more conservative?
This is the great unknown.
I don't.
I I really would love to tell you that yeah, they're going to get the message.
I don't know how they couldn't get the message.
But this is the big question.
Will the Republican establishment figure out here that victory was achieved not by compromise and not by crossing the aisle, but by hanging tough to what you said you were going to do, staying loyal to your conservative principles if they if if if they don't, if they're unwilling to recognize that conservatism and and and no compromise with liberals was central to this victory, then no, they they won't learn the lesson from it.
Well, I'm one of many people in this country who is not particularly happy that Romney is our candidate, but I will vote for him because he's obviously considerably better than current president.
But if he doesn't get the message, there's going to be people, if you read the blogs, that say that uh they're not going to vote for him.
I really can't believe that because Obama is so bad.
But it is a little bit of a concern to me that Romney is not willing to step up to the plate on some issues and be thoroughly conservative.
I understand, but I tell are you happy with the way Romney is hitting back.
He's got a rapid response team.
He is not, he's you know, they think they want him to throw Trump overboard.
He's not doing that.
He is not giving them what he wants, what they want, and he's firing back twice as hard at them.
And they're not they they were not expecting this.
I'm very glad of that, and I like what I see so far because McCain would not do that.
I also have a concern about who he's gonna pick as his running mate because a couple of the names that have been mentioned as potential running mates like Fortman or uh what's his name, Mitch Daniel, those names don't appeal to me.
He needs to pick a very strong conservative running mate, and I'm fearful that he won't do that.
Well, there are a couple names out there already upsetting Mike Levitt had a transition.
Guy loves these health exchanges, has made a lot of money on them.
That's alarming to people.
And there's um uh Levitt, there's one forgot I mentioned it yesterday.
So there's a no not as bad, but there are a lot of people concerned over over some of his close top advisors.
Yeah, we'll just have to wait and see on your primary question.
Time will tell.
This is what's been frustrating, though.
I mean, and the question's legitimate.
You would think the Republican established would have learned from Reagan.
And two landslide victories in the 80s.
But as recently as six months ago, a year ago, the Republican establishment wanted no part of that.
They had a Reagan conservative nominee equals a Barry Goldwater landslide defeat.
Right.
So we'll see.
Here's the Jesse Jackson story.
The Reverend Jackson said yesterday that Republican Governor Scott Walker is trying to do in Wisconsin what the anti-civil rights and segregationist George Wallace tried to do as governor of Alabama.
Wallace tried to deny the right to vote, and Walker's trying to limit access to voting with voter ID scheme and roll purging.
That's what Jesse Jackson said yesterday.
We'll be back after this, folks.
Don't go away.
Glenn Hubbard was the name I was looking for, the other named Romney admiser who happens to believe that the rich may not be paying their fair share in taxes if we're talking about sources of new revenue.
And that's so it's it's Hubbard and Mike Levitt that have some people nervous on the Romney side, as our caller indicated.
All right, sit tight, folks.
