Time Text
And I'd say the media can barely keep its pants up.
All right, the jury instructions are next in the Zimmerman trial.
They just can't wait.
Although I do, I don't I don't think the media wants a verdict today.
Because they get lost over the weekend.
Maybe the Sunday shows.
They'd rather have the verdict on Monday.
So they can use the whole week to trash the country.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yeah, plus the riots are scheduled for Monday.
They probably don't have the rioters ready to go today.
But they still they can't help themselves.
I mean, folks, it's amazing.
Closing arguments are finished, and then the prosecution did their rebuttal closing arguments, and a judge next are going to charge the jury.
For those of you who are real in it, it doesn't mean arrest them.
That means you're going to give them their instructions.
And then the jury's off.
What if it's like the OJ jury and they come back in like an hour?
Friday is a better day for a riot.
The jury's been sequestered a lot.
They may just want to get out of there and take the occasion of Friday to run away from town and hide.
It's hard to predict.
What's going to happen?
Well, Monday or Friday, what difference did they make to a rioter?
No, no.
A big difference.
Even if you get media coverage of your riot on Saturday, it's not as impactful as you get media coverage on a Monday or Tuesday.
So the rioters, they're not going to be revved up to go today.
The rioters, I'm sure the bus reservations and the hotels.
Well, no, they'll trash those.
Oh, I think the DOJ's probably already done the organizational aspect of the riots.
Yeah, yeah, you know, this is this is it if CNN Well, let me tell you what happened.
H.R. just asked me if CNN does it, will they blow the verdict again?
Go back to the Michael Jackson trial.
That the what, the child molestation trial out in LA?
The media was convinced that he was guilty.
And I remember, folks, I kept nobody likes to predict juries, but I was fearless in telling you that I won't be surprised if he's acquitted because I don't think they made the case.
Remember that?
Snerdley, I don't I don't remember where you came down on this.
Were you the same, or were you thinking there's gonna be I never I know, but but but did you think that?
Okay, so we were on the same page.
I I didn't think that the prosecution made the case.
I I thought this is uh an example of uh of of an overreaching, zealous prosecution that was relying on media.
And anyway, literally a few short minutes before the jury came in, Jeffrey Tubins goes on scene and predicts a massive conviction.
And in just minutes, he was proved wrong.
The jury acquitted.
So when H.R. said to me, is CNN gonna come out and do the same thing.
Um I don't know, but I'm just gonna tell folks the media is invested in a guilty verdict with the max punishment possible.
It's what they've been hoping for, planning for, trying to make sure that happens since this whole case began.
This case serves a lot of purposes.
Also is an opportunity to make up for what went wrong in the Duke Lacrosse case.
They are and now it's wall-to-wall analysis of what the judge is gonna say in her instructions, and in wall-to-wall analysis of what the jury's gonna be doing while they are deliberating.
Um it it's it's been a long time for the drive-by.
There haven't been any real decent riots since Rodney King.
I mean, if you um you you you you really might have to go back to Rodney King to find some really decent, really qualified riots in terms of the way the media looks at these things.
Yeah, not just uh a sports championship riot doesn't count, because that's that's engendered really by joy and and happiness and you know.
If people want to tear down their town because their team wins, that's one thing.
But if they tear down their town because they think they've just been given a racial shaft or something, that's made to order.
Well, that that riot in Brazil doesn't count because nobody saw any pictures of that.
Remember earlier this week, folks.
I had a short little story from AP.
And it was written as though this happens every day.
There was no nothing remarkable about the story.
I mean, the way it was reported, there was no emphasis.
There was nothing.
It was it was a story about how when somebody turned on the faucet, the water ran.
But the details were unlike anything I've ever seen before.
In a soccer game down in Brazil, a referee stabbed a player that he had ejected from the game.
Fans stormed the field and killed the referee, sliced him up into four pieces, decapitated him, and put his head on a stake.
Now that is a riot the media could sink its teeth into if that happens here.
But that happened in a soccer game all because the star player got tossed out by the uh the referee.
This they're just hoping.
I mean, they they uh, as I say, they haven't had any real good riots since Rodney King.
They're long overdue.
What do you what are you shaking your head at in there, Donald?
Do you think that's not true?
No, I'm not now we don't even the media.
I'm talking about the media needs.
I don't want any riots.
When I say they're long over it from the media perspective, we haven't had a good riot in this country in I don't know how long.
A riot is an opportunity for the media to show how unjust and unfair, basically how sucky the country is.
And there hasn't been that chance.
Okay.
We had this as our morning update today, but here are here that in case you missed it.
Screw officials in Carmel Clay, Indiana said that they lost $300,000 last scroll year.
Because students are rejecting the healthy menu changes brought on by the first lady, Muchell Obama, and her federal lunch regulations.
I've had a lot of complaints, especially with the little guys said to Linda Wyerman, a food service director for North White School Corporation.
They got a they get a three-quarters cup of vegetables, but if it's something you don't like, it goes down to garbage disposal.
So are a lot of complaints that they're going home hungry.
Amy Anderson, the food service director for the school district, said the rules made her feel less like an educator, more like a food cop.
The changes have even made her consider retiring early.
Lori Shafroth, the Tippecanoe Screw Corporation food service director.
Why do they need these people with Muchell running the show?
Look at all these food directors they've got.
Here's another one.
Laurie Shoffroth, the typical Screw Corporation food service director, said that many students are throwing food away, putting a dent in the district's budget.
They're teaching our kids with this meal pattern, it's okay to throw stuff away, she said.
Now we did a waste study on three different schools, and there was a huge amount of food wasted.
And that's just with the produce, the fruit or the vegetables and the milk, the kids hate it.
Other students aren't eating the lunches at all, resulting in a $300,000 loss for the district.
Now, earlier this week we had a story about a school in New York that was getting rid of the Muchell Obama way of feeding kids because they were hungry at the end of school.
They didn't like the food.
They weren't eating it.
There wasn't enough of it.
Now we have this other district here in Indiana losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, trying to comply and failing because the kids hate it.
You know, pretty soon they're gonna have to, they're gonna have to come up with a limbaugh theorem for Muchell because this is all being blamed on her, and that's not the way this regime works.
When things go wrong, Obama does not get the blame for it.
He's not even attached to it.
But this school lunch debacle is really being blamed all on Muchell, and rightly so.
But again, I have to ask a question, and I may be the only one with the guts to publicly ask it.
But who made her the expert in this?
Don't give me this first lady because so what?
Being first lady means that she is qualified to design a school lunch menu for the whole country.
You know, and what experience?
What's the resume say that her experienced track record in this field?
She's got two girls.
That's right.
She got two girls in a garden.
That's all you need.
That's right.
Okay, so she is and she's first lady.
She's wife of Barack.
So Barack knows more than anybody about the health care industry.
Barack knows more than anybody about coal.
He knows more than anybody about energy.
He knows more than anybody about taxes.
He knows more than anybody about Creed and Job.
Guys, people don't know diddly squat.
They are the least qualified you could find who are otherwise educated to be in charge of anything.
I know they won elections, or he did, but seriously.
Why is she in charge?
I know first ladies have to do things and they've got to be altruistic or charitable or you know, like learning to read or don't do drugs or whatever.
But seriously, what are her qualifications?
No, we've got kids all over the country claiming they hate the menu, they're not eating it, they're going home hungry.
Okay, so her arms are toned and she knows about exercise.
Do you think Michelle is hungry?
Do you think her kids are hungry?
You think her daughter, hell no, and hell no twice.
Say what it is.
No way her kids are hungry, and no way she is hungry, right?
But if you're Michelle Obama, and if you are convinced the country has a morbid obesity problem among the UTS, isn't the point that they should be hungry.
Sorry, folks, you can't go on a diet without being hungry.
There hasn't been one made.
Unless they can give you some speed to suppress the appetite.
Outside of that, which, you know, a little riddle in here, a little etterole, you never know.
Nice little side effect.
But outside of that, there's not a diet that does that.
I mean, if you if you're gonna lose weight, if you're morbidly obese, you're gonna have to face the consequence.
You're gonna be hungry.
But we don't want the little children to suffer.
But anyway, that's not what this is about.
This is Michelle, she knows better than anybody else about healthy foods because she has a garden.
Big whoop.
You know, the proofs in the pudding.
When her husband gets the chance to eat the way he wants to eat, what does he do?
He adds to these three guys' burger place and gorges on five guys, whatever it is, and gorges on on triple decker cheeseburgers and fries, and he takes heads of state with him.
He doesn't care.
They probably got him eating berries and twigs and leaves and everything, too.
And he's probably starving.
That may be one of the problems.
By the way, folks, I I uh mentioned yesterday that the uh interview, the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter is Conrad Black and his book The Flight of the Eagle, The Grand Strategies, Made this country what it is.
The previous issue interview was was Dr. Helen Smith.
And I read this piece today by the guy in the American Spectator, Matthew Flynn, on what's wrong in our culture vis-a-vis men.
Helen Smith is PhD Shinoxville, Tennessee, and she's got a book, Men on Strike, Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage Fatherhood and the American Dream and Why It Matters.
And it is excellent.
And I'll tell you that this is something that more and more people need to seriously think about.
The whole concept of manly is being erased from our culture.
And it and that's been going on for quite a while.
And it has serious, serious consequences, and we're living them.
So her book is Men on Strike, Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, the American Dream Why Matters, is Dr. Helen Smith.
Okay, to the phones as promised.
Joanne in Virginia Beach.
I'm glad you waited.
I really appreciate your patience.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you so much.
Um I was in dentistry for twenty-six years, and I find this whole thing absolutely ludicrous.
Um the wife I saw on the dinner cam, she's not unattractive.
Maybe a little lifestyle lift, you know.
Get her back to where she where she thinks she needs to be, but it's definitely an issue between their marriage.
If the husband thinks that he might have an affair with an employee because she's attractive, give me a break.
It's ridiculous.
Um let me uh play devil's advocate with you here.
Okay.
There are some women who might think this guy is wonderful.
There are some women who might think this guy is great, that he saw a temptation, that he took steps to remove it in order to preserve and protect his marriage.
That he was admitting a weakness that he might have fallen and done great damage to his marriage, and so he took a proactive step and got the temptation out of the way.
Well, I think that's uh it's a bunch of horse hockey.
I think that if their marriage is strong and if they have a good relationship and that they have good communication, nothing can come between the two of them.
So okay, but I can I infer from that that you think there might have been something wrong with the marriage to begin with.
Absolutely.
I worked I worked for dentists for twenty six years.
Well, what is that guy never ever date a dentist?
They're insane.
Oh, okay.
I was just gonna ask you what that has to do with anything.
So in dentists are insane.
Well, they have the there's a certain type of personality goes into dentistry, and a lot of them are perfectionists.
Yeah.
And um, you know, I've worked for some lot of really good dentists, but they they have they have f they have their own particular quirks.
You know, just like uh there's some there's some um industries where it it takes a certain type of personality to do that particular job.
Well, it's like this uh you I'm telling you, you have to be off kilter psychologically to succeed at this job, the one I've got.
I absolutely I have to I have to agree with you.
You have to lie to yourself every day.
Well, uh you have to, otherwise you're gonna you you can make yourself crazy because everything that's you know, I'm not that much younger than you are.
Yeah.
And I'm watching right turn into wrong, wrong turn into right, up is down, down is up, and I'm like, what happened to the society I grew up in?
And for this couple to go ahead and take, you know, this this person's livelihood away because she's attractive.
I mean, she did her job.
She was good at her job.
That's true, there was no one.
She wasn't flirting with the dentist.
I mean, there was that's right.
There was no complaint about her job performance.
It was strictly and the and the the court acknowledged that this was not about anything other than feelings.
This guy was allowed to make this move because of feelings.
Well, if that's the case, could he fire an unattractive female assistant because she makes him nervous for some other reason.
Well, I'm sure.
I mean, this opens Pandora's box to whatever.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
I have I've been fired from jobs before for non-performance or attitude, you know, when I was younger, but never Because of personal appearance.
I mean, it it's it's just I I think there's something something wrong with their marriage, something wrong with their relationship, and she was just a convenient excuse.
I think they they need to work on what whatever it is because uh no but no employee in his office is safe until he retires.
Joanne, thanks.
I appreciate your input on that.
Again, the court said that such firings do not count as illegal sex discrimination because this is all motivated by feelings, not gender.
So you could you could as I did, you could infer that employers can now fire unattractive people because of the feelings that they generate.
Why not?
Kevin in Blandon, Pennsylvania.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Thanks, Rosh.
Megadiddles from Blandon.
Um my question is a sidebar to the George Zimmerman trial.
Um, when X NFL star Aaron Hernandez comes up for trial, can we expect the mainstream media to refer to him as a white Hispanic?
Uh excellent question.
Let's see now.
You know what?
He did the well, the the the deceased in that case is an African American.
Yeah, there's a lot of parallels here.
African American, scrawny looking guy from the pictures versus this uh NFL muscle man, incredible hulk kind of guy.
It's not a leap to consider that he too, Aaron Hernandez.
By the way, he's from Connecticut.
Uh you know, that's white people live in cold weather.
So you're a white Hispanic?
It's it's not that door's been opened now.
That's an excellent, excellent question.
Will the media refer to Aaron Hernandez as a white Hispanic?
Are they even going to care about that case?
Another interesting aspect.
In the meantime, another obscene profit timeout.
We'll be right back.
So I checked the email during the break.
I'm glad I did.
Somebody said, Rush, you you were talking about uh major crimes earlier.
What were you?
I just wanted to make a note.
You know, I watched this show, Major Crimes, and I like it, and I just wanted to tell you this it's a great it's a funny cop show.
It's it's the uh replacement for the closer.
And everybody on the show is good.
They've got this character actor, G. W. Bailey, who was in I think it was an Animal House or something.
Not maybe not Animal House, but something.
I don't know.
The guy is funny as hell.
And I just I made a note.
I for some reason I just wanted to mention it to you.
I was watching this week's episode, and I just uh season three of the closer, they had one of the funniest episodes I have ever seen on television.
No, I'm not it would take me too long to tell you about it, and I got too many people here waiting.
Been patient.
It's open line Friday.
Here's uh well, there's nobody signified here, so I guess none of these calls are worth it.
Oh, Eli in Lule.
Great to have you on the program, Eli.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
Um I'm 15 years old, and I'm telling you not to give up on the future generation.
Uh I've been watching you since I was five years old.
My dad is conservative, and I cannot wait till I'm able to vote when I turn 18, which will be in the next election, which will hopefully be a conservative.
Why are you gonna wait?
Um if you're a Democrat, they'd have you voting by now.
No, no.
I'm only 15.
Well, that's that's that's um actually actually good.
I where did you get the impression, or maybe you didn't, maybe you're just saying so.
But where do you get the impression that that we're giving up on the younger generation here?
Well, it just seems like that uh in the last election, a lot of the kids that I know have seem to think that voting for Obama is the cool thing to do.
That's always you know, uh you are an exception to the rule, and God bless you.
But most young people are are motivated by hip and cool and and pop culture things and feelings.
Uh most young people are by virtue of being too young, just not that informed yet.
They haven't been Alive long enough to have acquired uh certain information, education, and and matured around it.
And so I mean I I have honestly thought about just getting an education and leaving the country.
I mean, it's been horrible.
Uh just my family's farm has been tax depth.
They can't even grow things, they can't even get a profit.
You know, I look, I know how you feel.
Um, and you're you're not alone.
There are I did an interview with a guy uh for my newsletter two days ago.
His name is Conrad Black, and he has written an extensive book on the history of America from the perspective of the founding to present day how it became the greatest nation on earth, how it became the world's real lone superpower.
And it's uh it's heavy reading, it's but it's exceptionally good.
I think you probably there aren't too many 15-year-olds that would read it and stick with it, but you probably could.
It's called the flight of the eagle, if you're interested.
But the point I wanted to make to you was that uh I asked him, because most people, Eli, most people's historical perspective begins with the day they were born, and they put everything that's happening uh in that universe.
For example, every generation, Eli thinks that it's in the last days.
Every generation thinks that what's going wrong is worse than it's ever gone wrong ever.
Every generation thinks this.
It's it's you can make book on it.
Every generation has people who think that the times in which they're living are worse than they've ever been.
So I asked Mr. Black, has it ever been worse in this?
Oh, he said, Oh, yes.
The decade leading up to the Civil War was far worse what's going on now.
However, and this is important, he said, and just what you know and what your your family knows.
This nation is in decline right now.
It is in a serious decline, and it is a decline that is being helped along.
It's a decline that may be occurring on purpose.
And what really has people upset, Eli, and this is what I think even at 15, I know you instinctively get this.
The problem is that the institutions that have been built into this country to guard against this are failing.
The Constitution is fail.
Well, it's not that the Constitution is failing, it's that the people charged with defending it are failing it.
And all of the the marriage, all of the cultural things that that are supposed to keep this country in on its lofty perch aren't working, or they're not being used.
And they're not being used by the nation's leaders.
And this is what has people non-plussed.
It it has them panicked and scared.
I had an eighth grade teacher, uh, my social studies teacher who uh had a very strange interpretation.
She was a liberal of the Constitution, and I did not agree with that.
I mean, it confused me like the like the interpretation just did not make sense at all.
Well, of course not if she's liberal.
She probably thinks the Constitution is bad, uh unfair, unjust, and needs to be changed, I'm sure, because there are parts of it written in those ancient times that don't and can't possibly apply to today.
But by the way, those people are all over the that they own education.
Those kind of people, Eli, own it.
Just today we learned that Janet Napolitano, who runs the the Homeland Security Department, has just been hired, the first woman to head up the entire University of California system throughout the state, not just Berkeley, but every university part of the UC system.
It's crazy.
She's as far left wing as anybody.
This is a job that no conservative would ever be offered, but in it it's a it's a job that a conservative needs to fill in order to fix it.
But you're going to be surrounded by these people.
I hope, Eli, that you are able to to uh what's the proper word?
I I hope you're able to fend them off.
I hope, I hope that they don't get inside your head in.
I'll try.
Please do.
Because I'm going to tell you a little short story.
Way back in the like first two or three, four years of this program, we had a call from a young man in North Dakota, and his uncle, I believe, was a member of Congress, and this man was about your age, maybe a little younger.
And he was great.
He was tell he was he just he thought his uncle was just full of it.
He thought his uncle was just an absolute joke, and he may call here and gave us every reason why.
And it ten years later, we heard from him again, and he was embarrassed that he had called.
He had done a 180, total 180.
Uh somebody got into him, and he had become exactly what he had called here criticizing.
Family've gotten to him.
My point is, Eli, you're great, but the pressure, especially when you leave home to go to school or whatever, and you're separated from your parents, the pressure on you is going to be immense, and I hope that you're able to fight it off.
I will try my best.
And I hope you don't leave the country, because the country's gonna need people like you.
Mm-hmm.
No, no.
I'm not just saying that, Eli.
It's gonna need people like you.
If it's if it's gonna re if it's gonna re you know, there's always gonna be an America, Eli.
But is it gonna be the kind of America your parents and grandparents grew up in?
And is it gonna be the kind of country that you're gonna be able to grow up in that you want it to be?
It's gonna take people like you uh doing what they can to preserve it and beat back these forces of change that are that are trying to take this country in an entirely different direction.
Um are you are you um I'll call you a conservative because it facilitates conversation.
Are you a concern because your whole family is?
Have they influenced you tremendously on all this?
Well, I've I've self-informed myself a lot that my entire family, extended family and everything, is conservative.
Well, that's good.
That means you've got a great, you're gonna have a great support system there.
What do you you you said they they're farmers?
Yes.
Um well I'm not a farmer myself.
My grandparents are.
And they've had to cut their hogs off.
Now they're just to uh wheat, beans, and corn, and they can't they can't ta support any livestock, they just can't make a profit off of it.
I know they're just too high.
I know.
I know.
The farmers have been hit in there a lot of well, what do you want to do?
Do you know yet?
Uh I'm deciding between an architect, um, politician, that sounds I d I don't really know yet.
I need to decide though.
Well, there's nothing that says you have to know yet.
Um but it's at some point, uh whatever you love and really, really you're passionate about will reveal itself to you.
And then it's up to you to follow it.
Uh but whatever it is, uh, you know, you just you you you keep thinking about things the way you are now.
And uh another thing I tell people like you, uh, just live your life the way you think it should be, and you'll influence more people in you m you than you'll ever know.
You don't have to talk to people and convince them in order to persuade them.
You can do that also by setting an example the way you live, uh and and uh the way you act, the way you lead.
So you have you tremendous potential in this the uh sky's your limit, whatever you want to be.
Don't let anybody tell you differently.
Oh, thank you for that.
Well, I'm glad you called.
You like computers, Eli?
I do.
You have an iPad?
Uh I have uh earliest one.
The early, you get the antique iPad.
Okay.
I have the antique.
Yeah, the antique.
Well, what would you say?
Wait, let's see, what'd you give us?
Uh I got a new why don't I say what would you would you rather I let me give you your choice.
Uh a retina 15-inch MacBook Pro laptop computer, an iPad uh four, which is the the full-size retina, or an iPad mini.
Which would you prefer?
Oh, I I would love to have the MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro.
Yes.
Great.
I need one of those for high school.
Great, great call.
Okay, this one's maxed out.
It's got the fastest processor, the largest uh solid state drive, 767 uh uh gigabytes.
Uh so you hang on, and we will get your we'll have it shipped, and it'll arrive to you tomorrow if you want it Saturday.
Now, don't don't hang up, snurdly'll get your address so that uh we can get it out to you.
Eli, thanks for calling.
It's great to have you out there, okay?
Thank you so much.
You bet.
Be right back.
Don't go away.
Ha, welcome back, L Rushbow, and it's open line Friday here on the EIB network.
I mean, I'm also gonna send Eli in uh in Louisville.
I'm gonna send him uh a couple of these really cool turvust tumblers that have the revered rush on one side behind the golden EIB microphone and the rush revere.
Two if by tea legend and icon on the other.
You can put coffee in them.
I mean, they keep hot beverages hot, cold beverages cold, ice doesn't melt, the tumbler doesn't sweat.
You've probably heard of these things, these turbus tumblers, particularly people in in in hot climates that do a lot of uh outdoor activity.
They're fabulous because the they don't sweat.
The ice doesn't melt so fast it dilute everything.
But the fact they don't drip all over you, that's the big deal to me.
Dale in Jacksonville, Florida.
Hi, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, megadata dittoes from Jacksonville, Florida.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet.
Uh it's all about the uh low information voters.
That's what you've talked about all the time.
Oh, yeah.
I've got a suggestion, a solution that that you might be able to get through to them.
I think you ought to travel around the country over the course of the week and uh and go on a rush limbaugh low information voter bus tour.
And each day of the week you you do your show from a different city, and maybe you interview the Kardashians or Paris Hilton, you know, you get some of the people that they're they're looking to for their information on your show.
And also, if you would allow me, I'd love to tell you about my uh book.
It has a breaking story aspect, and my agents currently pitching it to uh publishers.
Uh I'd appreciate that.
It'd be awesome to have that break on your show.
Um okay, briefly.
Okay.
Uh well, the book, it is uh it won't sound believable, Rush, but it is uh I live in Realville just like you do.
You're the mayor.
I'm one of the citizens.
Uh three years of research, and uh uh the bat the evidence backs all this up.
It's it's not gonna it's gonna sound fantastical, but it's Vincent Van Gogh was Jack the Ripper.
And uh the website, if you allow me, is Vincent Aliasjack.com.
I know it sounds hard to believe, but uh I've uh done the research.
You have uh irrefutable evidence that Vincent Van Gogh was Jack the Ripper?
Yes, sir.
It all started.
I'm an artist.
It all started with uh discovering hidden images in the Van Gogh painting that relate to Jack the Ripper.
In fact, it was one of his uh victims named Mary Kelly.
Did uh did Vincent Van Gogh rip himself?
Well, he did.
He did cut his ear.
Yeah.
And he also uh cut some of the Jack the Ripper cut some of his victim's ears.
Right, you're trying to get publishers to uh your agents trying to pitch the book to publishers?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Vincent Van Gogh as Jack the Ripper.
Uh that could work in the low information uh market.
Al no, might not know who Vincent Van Gogh is.
Anyway, the idea of a bus tour through low information what communities, neighborhoods, interviews, interviewing Kardashians and so forth.
It sounds it sounds good, but that's actually the least effective way of spreading the word.
And it becomes a uh a distract.
Plus, folks, I don't really like interviewing people.
That's the problem.
That's why I don't have guests on it.
I don't really care what anybody else thinks.

This is what it was a cost, a tentative agreement.
Tentative agreement to overhaul the federal student loan program was close to collapsing last night after the Congressional Budget Office said that the proposal would cost the Treasury $22 billion over 10 years.

It means that lowering the student loan rate to 3.4% would cost the Treasury $22 billion, and we can't do it.

The New York Times version of the story is the Republican Party wants to do damage and raise the deficit by lowering the student loan.
This is incredible.
And the students are blaming the Republicans.
A Georgetown University student blamed Republicans for allowing student loan rates to double while another student said that all Republicans should be put to death.
