So nobody knows where Snerdley is, right?
He is?
Well, nobody knew where he was this morning.
Are you are you lying to me covering for him?
Because we thought he was supposed to be back here today.
Well, H.R. came in here today, so I guess I'm gonna have to screen because Snerdley's not here.
We thought he was going to be back today.
A bus hit his car.
A bus hit his car, Snerdley in a foreign country, not to be named uh security.
A bus hit his car and threw him 30 feet.
Holy smokes, why am I just now hearing about this?
I know, so I won't be distracted from the show.
All right.
Greetings, folks.
Uh uh, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Uh L. Rushball.
It's in a hospital?
You get thrown 30 feet from your car by a bus.
Oh, okay.
He's on the beach.
Okay.
All right.
800 282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, folks, the email address L Rushwo at EIBNet.com.
The uh Reverend Jack was on America's newsroom today.
That's a CNN show.
I heard about this in the Gateway Pundit.
I didn't watch it, but the uh Reverend Jackson was talking about gun control, and he said that assault weapons are a threat to national security.
He also said gun manufacturers should be held responsible for shootings.
That is exactly what they did to Big Tobacco.
Cigarette manufacturers are responsible for people that die from cancer, and who made out like bandits, the trial lawyers.
So it's probably safe to say the trial lawyers are universally salivating here over the Reverend Jackson throwing out the idea, hey, let's sue the gun manufacturers.
It has infinitesimal much more weight.
All these proposals.
By the way, speak grab grab a son, I gotta find it.
I think it's the last one.
Yeah, grab Sun by 29.
Here was uh Obama during the press conference today.
He got a question from the ABC White House correspondent Jonathan Carl.
What do you make of these long lines we're seeing at gun shows and gun stores all over the country?
I mean, even in Connecticut, Mr. President, applications for guns are up since the shooting in New Town.
You know what's amazing.
Really are beside themselves at the rapid increase in gun sales.
They are totally flummoxed by it.
You see, from their point of view, their coverage, well, just the event itself.
The Sandy Hook Massacre itself, in their world view, should have had people volunteering to give up their guns for the purposes of uh of public safety.
So when people don't give up their guns, then the drive-bys get into real gear and start guilt tripping everybody.
And they then think that the power of their influence will then make people give up their guns or support giving up their guns or support having their guns taken away or what have you.
When that doesn't happen, and then record numbers of people show up to buy guns after Sandy.
They are flummoxed.
Can't believe it, don't understand it, it doesn't compute.
And you can see it here in Jonathan Carl's question.
Mr. President, even in Connecticut, they're out there buying guns.
I guess in Connecticut, you all should have volunteered to give your guns away after what happened at the school in uh in Newtown.
All of you should have understood exactly what the media believes that the gun is the problem and the people who own guns are the problem.
And you've got to get rid of your gun.
You have to give see what happens to people who have guns.
You've got to get rid of it.
The fact that sales are going through the roof, even in Connecticut has them royally confused.
And so Jonathan Carl's question to Obama, what do you make of all this?
What do you make all these gun sales?
What do you make of people going out of the record numbers, even in Connecticut buying guns?
I think that we've seen for some time now that those who oppose any common sense gun control or gun safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government's about to take all your guns away.
And there's probably an economic element to that.
It obviously is good for business.
This notion that somehow here it comes and that everybody's guns are going to be taken away.
It's unfortunate, but that's the case.
Hmm, I wonder who the president could be talking about there.
the uh The president said in his press conference mere moments ago that the reason you are buying guns in record numbers is because there are people, somebody out there, uh, telling you that the government's gonna take your guns away.
That's the only reason.
The only reason you see, in in his mind, you don't have one of your own.
In the mind of your average Democrat liberal, you don't have a mind of your own.
That's why you need them.
You can't think on your own, and when you do think on your own, you come to the wrong conclusion every time.
So you can't really be permitted to think for yourself.
You've got to have actions taken for you, limits placed on you, uh, boundaries constructed so that you do not engage in your natural inclination to do bad things.
The average liberal, I mean, that that's the root of gun control.
You can't be trusted.
You are not inherently good people.
Liberals look out over the country and seethe with contempt when they look at average people.
Average people are not predestined to good things.
Natural people will, if you don't control them, they'll do evil, bad, rotten things.
So you have to control them.
That's liberal thinking to a T. And it right here is expressed with Obama.
These people could not possibly be buying guns because they're trying to protect themselves.
They couldn't possibly be purchasing guns because they worry that they are in danger.
They couldn't possibly be buying guns because they worry about new legislation.
No, no.
The only reason people are buying guns is because some irresponsible people in the media are threatening and telling them that somebody wants to take their guns away.
And by the way, these evil rotten people in the media are making a lot of money doing this.
It's uh, and and the people in the media that are telling you that the government's gonna take your guns away, you don't even really believe it.
They're just doing it to get rich.
That's what Obama said.
But strip it all away, and the bottom line is you don't have a mind of your own.
It's even in Jonathan Carl's question, not well, you might have a mind of your own, but it's an idiotic mind.
What do you mean?
Even people in Connecticut are buying guns at record clip, even in Connecticut, after New Time, see what are you supposed to do, Connecticut?
In their mind in Connecticut, after that event, you're supposed to be so horrified that not only you give up your gun, but you demand that nobody else buy one either.
Because you're supposed to realize that the gun there was the problem.
And we have to.
Now, why would people in this country think that Democrats have designs on their guns?
Can somebody answer that question for me?
Why would people in this country think that Democrats have designs on their guns?
Who is it that's constantly talking about the second amendment and what it should mean?
Democrats.
Who is it that's always trying to come up with new ways to control guns?
I. It's Democrats, is it not?
Who is it that even now trying to come up with legislation to ban this weapon or that weapons?
Democrats, right?
Who is it that is suggesting a limit on the capacity of magazines in automatic weapons?
Democrats, right?
Therefore, why would anybody think that Democrats have designs on their guns?
Could it be because Democrats do?
You realize how much trouble I'm in for pointing this out.
Does anybody does anybody doubt that if, say Diane Feinstein could she get away with it?
She'd pass a law saying that you can't buy any more guns.
Does anybody doubt that she would do that?
Do you think she'd try?
Or Chuck Schumer, pick pick your favorite Democrat.
But as far as the Democrats are concerned, you don't have mind of your own.
You don't have a thought process of your own.
Well, you do, but it's not good.
People are not inherently good people.
They're inherently bad.
That's why they have to be controlled.
But it's it's not, it's not the big gun makers that are ginning up fears.
It's Joe Biden.
I mean, it's a Democrat talking about exploring ways to use executive orders to control guns.
People hear that.
They put two and two together.
Uh they hear Eric Holder, 1995.
We're going to change people's attitudes on guns.
We've got to make them look at guns the same way they look at cigarettes.
Get rid of them.
Do the Democrats expect that people aren't going to hear them when they speak?
Do they expect they're not going to understand them when they speak?
Do the Democrats think that people aren't going to believe them when they speak?
Should condom manufacturers be sued for unwanted pregnancies when a condom was used.
Brief time out.
El Rush both serving humanity simply by being here, the essence of common sense, blinding the country after this.
Don't.
Gabriella Hoffman.
Gabriella Hoffman, a 21-year-old Virginian who works at a nonprofit.
Her paycheck is a little lighter today, thanks to the payroll tax increase that's forcing millions of Americans to make the kind of tough budget cuts that representatives in Washington are unwilling to tackle.
Well, because there is no Soum explained why in his press conference the debt limit isn't about new spending.
Raising the debt limit isn't about spending at all.
It's just about paying bills.
You've got to raise the debt limit just to pay for what we've already spent.
But there's no new spending in the debt limit.
That's what he said.
Gabriella Hoffman is 21 years old.
As I say, she works at a nonprofit.
She estimates that her paycheck will be roughly $30 less this biweekly period, or about $780 a year that she will not get thanks to the end of a two-year cut on payroll taxes, which fund Social Security.
The tax has gone back up to 6.2% from 4.2%, costing somebody making $50,000 a year about a thousand dollars for year.
And a household with two high-paid workers could cost them up to $4,500 a year.
Can I take a brief I won't explain this to you?
I've gotten in trouble.
Well, not really trouble, it's just people think I don't know what I'm talking about.
Every time I've explained this, the common way of understanding the Social Security or payroll tax is that your employer pays half, and that you pay half.
And your half is 6.2%, and the employer matches it at 6.2%.
In reality, you are paying it all.
Mr. Lumbeau, each time you try to explain it to get thillier And thillier and stupider and stupider, and it just can't possibly be true.
Well, let me try again, as Frank Sinatra said when he came out of retirement.
Let me try again.
Very simple.
When you get hired by somebody, the total cost, what it costs in total to pay you is more than your salary.
You agree to so let's say a salary of $50,000.
Plus some health care.
Let's say the total cost of an employer to hire you is $60,000.
I'm just using round numbers.
$10,000 of it you never see because that's benefits.
Sick pay, health care, vacation pay, whatever else.
But it's still costing the guy sixty grand.
You see $50,000 of it gross, but you don't see that.
You see the net after deductions.
Part of the deduction is the payroll tax.
It's the thing called FICA there on your pay stub.
And contrary to the idea that the employer is matching what you pay, the employer is paying that 5.0, the employer's paying 12.4%.
What's actually happening is only half of it is being deducted.
So you think you're only paying half, but it's costing your employer all 12.4% to hire you.
Therefore, you're paying it.
The fact that you don't see it doesn't mean you're not being paid it.
Just like when you don't see your health care benefits, it's still there.
So if you're making $50, it's costing somebody more than that to pay you the $50 because of the benefits and the unseen things that are, and that's social security.
And it's a bug of it's it's a part of my effort to have people understand economics, but I'm not gonna it's not a deal breaker for me if you don't get it.
If you want to continue to think that the employer's matching your 6.2, that's fine.
Here's the other point about it I want to make.
For two years, you were only paying 4.2%.
Now you're paying back up to your 6.2.
So instead of paying 12.4, you were paying uh roughly 8.4%.
So that FICA money funds Social Security.
It is the only way Social Security is paid for.
The only way not one penny of revenue from anywhere else funds Social Security.
So while you did get, while we all got, well, I didn't self-employed, I pay it all, and there was a certain income brackets, this didn't apply.
Not sour grapes, just being precise here.
Fact is that payroll tax cut defunded Social Security.
Now, how often do you hear elected officials talking about how we can't do that?
They just undercut Social Security by all of this money.
They just made it less viable.
They were taking money away from Social Security in order to give you the payroll tax cut.
Now, Social Security is sacrosanct.
You don't touch it, but the payroll tax cut did, and there's no way of making that money up.
It's lost forever now.
Which just means it's going to become insolvent sooner than it otherwise would have.
Anyway, the bottom line here is that none of this matters.
What matters is take home pay is 30 bucks to 50 bucks in some cases, $75 less per paycheck now than it was in December.
Is this happening to a lot of people who voted for Obama and who trusted him when he said that they wouldn't see a tax increase.
So many of them are now engaged in basically self-inflicted injury.
They voted for this.
They don't understand it.
They're fit to be tied, and they all think that the Republicans did it.
I said Virginia earlier.
Fred's in Richmond, Washington, and I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you here, Fred.
Hello.
Oh, Russ, what an honor.
Uh, sir.
Um, you'll have to forgive me.
I'm a little nervous speaking to you and angry about my taxes, but yeah, we got the shock of our life when uh my wife looked at her pay stub, she can look it up electronically because she gets, you know, automatic direct deposit.
And she goes, Oh my god, we got sixty bucks missing here, and I went, What?
And she goes, Yeah, we're we're lower middle class.
And uh, yeah, it's it's sixty dollars less than it was, you know, last month, and that's because of the tax hike.
Now sixty bucks per paycheck times let's say twenty-four paychecks a year, that adds up to a lot of money for somebody like me.
For everybody, most people, particularly in this economy.
Well, in in this economy, which is a few.
Every penny counts.
We had a call last week from a woman who was in tears here because she didn't know this was gonna happen, and it was taking well, d uh t uh a dollar out of her paycheck was causing her incredible pain.
Well, the the the sixty you know, i if you take you know, sixty dollars is is is a lot of what is that, fourteen hundred and forty dollars a year, that's that's a whole other paycheck.
That's a lot of fuel.
Well, it's a new muffler.
They said it's a new muffler.
It's uh did did you know that this was happening or not?
I suspected it.
I mean, I have to preface this.
I I I didn't vote for Obama because I knew what he was.
I mean uh anybody I am not a low information voter.
Um I'm very learned in the subject and and I suspected it, but the drum beat, if you listen to the media and if you listen to everybody.
I know there but the drumbeat was there's not gonna be a middle class tax increase.
It wasn't gonna be, and there is.
Back to the phones, we go to Smyrna, Georgia.
This is Adam.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Rush, hi, it's great to talk with you.
What a joy.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, you're calling from the soon to be isolated South.
Well, I was I was actually gonna say I'm deep within the isolated South.
I think it's already partially isolated.
And the effort to isolate you is ongoing and intensifying.
I can I can feel the eyes watching and the breath on the back of my neck.
Well, I'm not kidding.
I I I know you have the ability to look at it with jocularity.
Yes.
But there there's an ongoing effort to marginalize conservatism, and the South is the greatest concentration of it, and therefore the words are Lincoln didn't finish the job.
I mean, that was in Salon.com last week.
Lincoln didn't finish the job.
And and what's worse is probably that I'm actually uh a young pastor, and so I'm I'm probably one of those uh uh right wing kooks.
And a uh target because you preach to others.
Yes, yes, that is anyway.
I welcome you to the program.
I'm glad you're here.
I I'm glad I'm here as well.
In fact, just holding the line, I I felt the thrill run up my leg.
But uh the purpose of my call is I I've actually been on a uh meals on wheels delivery route this morning, and um when I walked into uh the apartment uh of uh one of my customers, uh she's an elderly uh minority lady living in in poverty, and uh she had on she had the tube turned on and was was uh watching the press conference, and I said, How are you doing?
She said, Well, I'm doing all right.
I'm just watching my president on this uh press conference, and I'm trying to get my head around what's going on.
And she went on to tell me that uh her social security went up 13 bucks.
Uh she said, but that really doesn't matter because she's been told by her doctor that with everything that's been transparent, she's gonna owe a hundred and forty-seven dollars for every visit before Medicaid or Medicare even touches it, and she was asking me, What in the world am I gonna do?
And she said, you know, I uh she said that she feels like she's kind of being left out in the cold.
Um she said all this to you while she's watching Obama and his press conference.
Does she blame the Republicans for this, or did she say did she say?
No, she she seemed to uh she seemed to be uh feeling a bit disenfranchised, if you will, by her presence.
She she referred to him almost in jest as her president.
No, and they just Adam, let me add, did you did you say this woman's African American?
Uh well I said she's a minority, she is an African American.
Okay.
I was gonna say y uh you don't sound like a Southerner, you mean you're helping her.
I'm being facetious.
You don't sound like a Southerner, you're helping her.
Well, uh yeah, that's right.
Uh uh no, you know, it it's interesting because uh just in my previous interactions with her, uh I feel like she's she thought highly of the president.
I imagine uh she probably voted for him uh if she voted.
Um, you know, she's she's she's gladly referred to him as her president before.
Oh, sure.
There's gonna be a lot of confusion.
I th I think I think there's going to be a lot of confusion among Obama voters.
Because they believe him.
Um like the the people who are now experiencing smaller paychecks because the payroll tax ended.
The payroll tax cut ended, and the full FICA deduction has been restored, so people's paychecks are smaller.
And they see this, but they trust the media.
They trust Obama.
They they they were told that their taxes aren't gonna go up.
They were told that only the one percent or two percent would see a tax increase.
That that any taxation had to be fair and balanced and responsible, and that meant they weren't going to be called on to pay the burden and here right off the bat, their first paycheck is smaller, somewhat or a lot smaller, depending.
And they're going to be folks really conflicted.
The media for the past year, two years has been spreading the word that the middle class isn't gonna face a tax increase.
Only the rich are.
Obama's been saying the same thing.
And these people are not going to want to think poorly of President Obama.
They voted for him.
They're not gonna want to think poorly of him.
They're they're so they're gonna be really confused and conflicted.
They believed him.
They believe the media, and they still do.
So they're gonna start asking how did it happen?
And i it's going to be somewhat easy for the media to somehow blame this on the Republicans, and I think the way they'll do it is simply say the Republicans wouldn't negotiate with the president.
The Republicans just simply refused to move off of their desire for tax cuts for the rich.
And the president tried, he tried very hard, he worked very hard on this, uh, did the best he could, but and now the Republicans are try are trying to hurt the country and hurt the president again on the debt limit deal is the way this is all going to play out.
There's none of this, as far as the media's concerned, none of it will will be allowed if they have anything to say about it, to attach itself to Obama in terms of blame.
Now I'm just telling you this, trying to to make sure you don't get as frustrated as you otherwise would.
Because I know you all sit out there and you pray, that at some point this country's gonna wake up.
You pray that at some point people are gonna finally realize that what they've been told isn't true.
And they're not going to want to believe that for a long time.
Obama's a cult like figure to some of these people.
And uh it's just it's gonna be a it's gonna take a number of these betrayals before they start to substantively question whether or not Obama and the media have been not telling them the truth.
Adam, I appreciate the call.
God bless you.
Tony, Charlottesville, Virginia, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey Russ, how are you doing?
Good.
Great to have you here, sir.
Yes, sir.
I was listening to the gentleman a little while ago and listening to you and different stuff like that, and they were, you know, of course, talking about the the paychecks and you know, less on the paychecks and all like that.
And I was telling the the caller, the the gentleman when he answered the phone that something popped in my mind.
What do you think, Rush, about the idea that Santa Claus, good old Obama, at the end of the year is going to give people a stimulus check, what have you, for the amount that their paycheck is left.
No, I think what he's going to do is and then that's that's of course possible, but I don't think he's gonna wait that long.
You don't think so?
No.
I I think I think what he'll do is propose a middle class tax cut real quick.
Maybe maybe even part of the State of the Union show.
Maybe in his inaugural address.
But soon he's because this is gonna take off.
I mean, everybody is seeing a tax increase, not just the rich.
Everybody is.
That that is gonna put political pre- if he's not gonna want to the way he'll blame it on Republicans will be to be the one to call for a middle class tax cut.
Oh.
Even though he was responsible for the Bush tax rates expiring.
Right.
He's the one responsible for this.
Right.
He'll shift the bl I think this is an easy prediction.
I made this prediction before the I mean, even if we didn't go over the cliff, this tax increase was going to happen.
And he's gonna be he'll he's I think he's gonna propose a tax cut for the middle class some way somehow.
Right.
I one one way or the other he's gonna come out smelling like the like the rose, that that's for sure.
You know, he's gonna wash his hands above any any wrongdoing and with the media like it is and the way they blow him up almost like a like a brown dog pick, you know, he spells up and yeah, that's that's just what happened.
Exactly.
The the media will see to it that Obama comes out smelling like a rose.
You're exactly right.
Quick time out, folks, be right back.
I want to go back and play an Obama soundbite from the press conference.
Actually, uh they're both from the press conference today.
Here's the f first one, we played it moments ago.
This is the president suggesting that nobody wants to take anybody's guns away.
That's that's just somebody in the media saying that.
Uh and getting rich while saying that.
But that's that's it's ridiculous.
I think that we've seen for some time now that those who oppose any common sense gun control or gun safety measures uh have uh a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government's about to take all your guns away.
And there's probably an economic element to that.
It obviously is good for business, this notion that somehow uh here it comes and that everybody's guns are gonna be taken away.
It's unfortunate, but uh that's the case.
Okay.
So you heard you say there's people in the media making this up.
Nobody wants to take their guns away, and they're getting rich doing so.
They're very effective at scary people about the role of government in their lives.
They're very effective at this.
So Jonathan Carrell, ABC, ask the president this.
On the issue of guns, given how difficult it'll be, some say impossible to get any gun control measure passed through this Congress.
What are you willing or able to do using your powers as president to act without Congress?
What can you do?
And I'd also like to know what do you make of these long lines we're seeing at gun shows and gun stores all around the country?
What do you make of all these people buying guns now record numbers?
My understanding is the Vice President's gonna uh provide uh a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence.
Some of them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through executive action.
And so I'll be reviewing those uh today, and as I said, I'll I'll speak uh in more detail uh to what we're gonna go ahead and propose uh later in the week.
But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation uh and that uh are are within my authority as president.
Uh and uh where you get a step that has the opportunity to reduce the the possibility of gun violence, then I want to go ahead and take it.
Why would anybody be worried about what the government's gonna do after hearing that?
Well, there's plenty I can do with executive order to reduce gun violence, uh fair and balanced way and uh common sense measures, and I can do all this with executive orders.
I don't even need Congress.
Why would anybody hear that and be concerned about what the government might be planning or what the president might be planning when he's talking about using executive orders to get around Congress On all this.
Why would anybody think these crazy thoughts that these irresponsible people in the media make you think?
Just wanted to share that with you.
New Milford, Connecticut, Bill, thank you for calling.
It's nice to have you with us.
Hello.
Yeah, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for what you do.
Appreciate you saying that.
Um hey, earlier you had talked about uh Obama blaming the Republicans on the debt crisis and on the on the money that's been spent.
Um, since you're the head of the Republican Party, you might make the point to the rest of the Republicans to say it was during the time where the Democrats uh occupied both houses and the presidency when Obamacare was rammed through.
And everybody knows that Obamacare is probably the single most expensive uh proposition that was put forth by the Democrats.
So that that wasn't new spending.
That reduced the deficit.
Oh, yeah, right.
Um, I mean you laugh, but that's what he said.
Well, I know that's what he said.
But as I said, you you had some time back said somebody has to come up with a message that speaks over the head of the uh of the media and over the head of the low information voters.
Yeah.
And a message that simply says uh this debt was was put into place during the time where the Democrats held all three branches of government.
Um I think um not all three branches, but at least the House, the Senate, and the um and the presidency, that's very easy to pin it on them.
Um and there's no refuting it.
It's a very simple message that could that any even them even the uh even a politician would be.
Yeah, but here uh look at I'm not trying to to be a downer, but we've we've said that.
Uh I've the stimulus.
I mean, that you know, the Republicans for the first two years couldn't stop Obama on anything.
They didn't have the votes to stop him on anything, health care or anything else.
Exactly.
And the Republicans still got the blame for everything.
Well, I know, but I mean, if you if the if somebody were to very clearly and succinctly simply say it it ain't our fault because we weren't there, and we weren't allowed to even uh um even to debate it on the floor.
Well, it's an interesting I have a I have a piece.
This piece that I have addresses what you're talking about.
It's a relatively long piece, and it came out January 8th.
It's in a publication called The Irish Examiner.
America's leading Irish newspaper.
I didn't even know this thing existed till I saw this.
And the headline, low information voters just not interested in politics.
And what this piece is about is exactly what you're addressing.
How do you reach them?
How do conservatives reach people who don't care about politics, except maybe once or twice every four years and for a very short period of time when they are interested?
How do you reach them?
Let me give you two pull quotes.
Here's the first.
The GOP allowed the Obama campaign to get away with that tax the rich mantra, which is all the low information voters heard.
There wasn't one Republican opposing what Obama was saying.
And the the by the way, the author here is Alicia Coland, C O L O. She's right.
Well, you know one of the things that's bothered me throughout my career.
What's bothered me throughout my career when a conservative, a public conservative gets in trouble.
Other conservatives tend to throw that person overboard to get rid of the problem rather than defend them.
But not me.
You know, when Clarence Thomas came under attack, I ginned up the defense.
Same thing with Robert Bork.
I was in Sacramento then, but I still did.
And I don't care who Ollie North, I don't care who it was.
When they came under attack, I launched a defense of them.
The left circles of wagons around their people, but we never have.
We didn't have people defending Romney on the specific charges made against him.
The Bush people didn't even defend themselves on some of the absurd accusations they faced.
We just don't do we don't defend our own people.
And so the Obama campaigns were in the tax the rich mantra that all the Republicans care about is uh tax cuts for the rich.
Nobody speaks up against it.
And there's this little passage, and I would love to know what you think of this.
And I'm not totally sure I know who the authorette is talking about here, but it says conservatives simply have no one in the media that has any credibility with low-informed voters.
Conservatives simply have no one in the media that has any credibility with the ill-informed masses.
Now I think that's true.
I also think I know why.
It's true.
Sadly, I don't have the time necessary to tell you right now.
I must take an obscene profit timeout.
But I'm going to tell you why I think this is accurate.
Part of the answer goes back to the fact look at how many conservatives are demonized.
Look at how many public conservatives are impugned, their character, their credibility.
That's what I meant earlier when I said Obama does not offer solutions to problems Obama has nothing but enemies that he attempts to discredit and defeat and eliminate.
And so when the assertion is made that conservatives do not have one person in the media credible with the ill-informed masses, I think that's probably true.
people.
And I think I know the reasons why.
And they are many and varied.
We'll be back.
