Time Text
That's my real name, too.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
800-282-2882 is the phone number.
You people should know that by now.
Rush always says that a lot of liberals listen to his show.
They are coming after me on Twitter.
Good lord.
Oh well, they're upset about my position on minimum wage fast food workers.
I'm moving on, though.
If you're on the phone about that or what have you, I'll get to you eventually.
I'm just stretching my legs here.
I gotta go to the these couple of stories.
Let's get into some local domestic politics now.
We'll get back to foreign policy and the rest of it.
Oh, John Kerry, by the way, says that the Bible tells us we have to protect Muslim countries from global warming.
I kid you not.
We'll get he must have seen that Noah movie, awful movie.
The Democrats are getting clever.
So Pat Roberts is the Republican nominee for Virginia Kansas.
He lives in Virginia.
Pat Roberts doesn't live in Kansas.
He hadn't lived in Kansas in a very long time.
He rents a house in Kansas.
He admitted during the primary that he sleeps on somebody's recliner, mark a lounge or something when he goes to Kansas.
He's never there.
He he and his wife are in Virginia.
He's not polling well in Kansas.
Now the Republicans, they they could have swapped out Roberts for Milton Wolf or someone else in the primary, but they chose to double down on incumbents.
The Republican establishment in Washington operating as an incumbent protection agency as opposed to actually getting Republicans who can win.
They back their man Roberts.
He's been there for a while.
He's been a good senator, not fantastic, but he's been good.
Well, he's in trouble.
You see, here's the problem.
The Democrats have now withdrawn their candidate in Kansas and they're rallying around an independent.
And the independent is actually doing fairly well in the polls against Roberts.
Because so many in Washington have misjudged the mood of the American public.
And if you look at the Republicans around the country and the way they've done some of their nominees, well, take, for example, the attack on Mary Landry.
Now I'm a native of Louisiana.
I live in Georgia, but I'm a native of Louisiana.
The Landrews have been a longtime political family in Louisiana.
Mary lives in Washington, D.C. The American Crossroads or the Crossroads GPS group, they put out an ad the other day showing the mayor of Washington, D.C. praising Mary Landrew as one of the best residents of the city.
And uh Mary Landrew, her voter registration card, she wrote in that she lived in D.C. and had to scratch it out and put Louisiana in.
Yeah, I mean, she is a creature of Washington, DC.
The Republicans are attacking her for living in Washington, D.C. and not Louisiana.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee pushing out these lines of attack.
Well, conservative activists who wanted to improve the Republican field were pointing out that Pat Roberts doesn't live in Mississippi or in Kansas or that Thad Cochran doesn't really live in Mississippi.
And the Republican establishment, oh, you can't make those attacks on them, but they'll make it on Mary Landry.
I hope the attack sticks.
You know, I was an elected Republican.
I I want to get Republicans elected, but I just I think it's silly that they're going to be dismissive of conservative activists who are pointing out that the Republican nominees live in Washington, D.C. too, and then they're gonna do it to Mary Landry.
That's fine.
That's the way the game is played, except it's not working out well for the Republicans in Kansas right now.
I suspect Pat Roberts is going to win.
But the Republicans are going to have to divert resources from other states to keep him winning.
This is you know, Rush has given a brilliant monologue one time.
Based on the code Villapis, the the the the city versus the country.
And the aristocrats that run the country, the city class and the country class.
And that's the problem with Washington.
So much of it is a charade.
They're pounding their fists about doing something to ISIS ISL is the SOBs, whatever you want to call them.
They want to do something for the American public.
Meanwhile, Burger King is fleeing the country for a better tax system because uh neither side wants to actually simplify the tax code.
That's where they get their campaign donations, both of them.
They both get carve outs from their friends in Washington and New York and major corporations by complicating a tax code and then carving out exceptions for their donors.
Look at the story of Eric Cantor, the House former House majority leader.
He's now left Congress.
He's getting a job.
I want to read you.
This is a political piece from yesterday or today.
Listen to this.
Cantor defenders say he is not exactly raking in massive cash.
Pay attention to that phrase, massive cash.
The former Congressman's initial pay package with a minimum value of around four million dollars over two years, is indeed hardly mammoth by the inflated standards of Wall Street.
He's going to make two million dollars a year minimum, and his defenders in Washington say he's not exactly raking in massive cash.
This is Washington at its finest.
Now, I I don't fault Eric Cantor for getting a well-paying job when he left Congress.
God bless him for doing it, but you and I couldn't get that job.
He got it by virtue of having been in Congress.
This is the thing.
The founders of the country were wise, wise men, wise beyond their years.
They had lived a world that we only view in abstract.
One of the things the founders understood is that a permanent political class is not a good thing.
Congress did not meet year-round.
Congress was not permanent.
The tenure of members of Congress was not long.
But now we've got people.
They go to Congress.
They stay there for a long time.
They move to Washington, D.C., only going home to campaign like Pat Roberts or Thad Cochran or Mary Landrew.
They claim to be from those states on the ballot when really they're in Washington, D.C., the only part of the country that hasn't suffered in Barack Obama's economy.
And you've got the media there.
Luke Russert, there's a story out yesterday.
Luke Russard is a member of the Lucky Sperm Club.
By virtue of who his parentage is, Luke Russert gets to be on NBC.
Luke Ressert wouldn't be doing that on his own merit.
He's doing it because his last name is Russert.
And now he gets to be on NBC's Meet the Press because that was his dad's show.
His dad, the gold standard in those Sunday shows, untimely died, passed away.
But Luke Russard wouldn't be there except by virtue of being a member of the Lucky Sperm Club.
By being Tim Ressert's son, he gets to do it.
You will never have that opportunity because you're not in that club.
And there are two clubs together, the fraternal order of former congressmen and the Washington elite Lucky Sperm Club of kids of members of Congress and the rich and elite in the country.
They get together and they have formed an American aristocracy, and they're doing quite well.
Now the irony of all of this, actually, the sheer hysterical nature of it, is that the president of the United States and the Democrats are going out playing on class warfare.
The president of the United States and the Democrats want something done.
What they want done is to take from those who have and give to those who have not.
Hello, Carl Marx.
They don't want to empower the poor to seize opportunity and rise up.
Instead, they want to pass a law that increases the minimum wage.
Raising your costs to give to others.
Or they want to raise your tax rate and pass that money on to someone else.
And it's the thinking the Washington Republicans are no better at this, by the way.
The Washington Republicans, when Eric Cantor was in office prior to his departure and loss and defeat.
He wanted to rephrase the Republican Party, repackage it.
You probably heard Rush talk about this.
I remember the day Rush talked about it.
First time I'd heard of it.
It was true, as usual.
Eric Cantor wanted to brand the Republican Party as what can government help you do?
I'll tell you what government can do for me.
Leave me the hell alone.
Let me go out and try to succeed in life.
I may fail.
But I should at least be able to succeed.
Instead, Washington, the Republicans and the Democrats together, they want to pile all of us up on a social safety net while they go off and jet set around the world and have fun.
Their kids get the TV shows because they had the TV shows.
They get the two million dollar a year jobs that are, quote, not exactly raking in massive cash because they were members of Congress.
And then you get the Russian companies.
You know, the Russian bank should be sanctioned because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This may actually be the first time I didn't say the Ukraine.
Good on me.
Russians invading Ukraine.
And now their banks and businesses should have sanctions.
So guess what?
They're hiring former members of Congress, these banks and other businesses.
They're hiring former members of Congress to go give money to current members of Congress to make sure that the businesses that should be punished to help stop a war are not actually punished.
Or look at the XM bank trying to extend the XM bank.
You've got large corporations writing major checks to members of the Washington elite to keep the good times rolling for them.
Never mind you, never mind me, never mind any of us outside of Washington and New York.
They just want to keep the good times rolling for themselves.
This this canter story, and again, I don't fault him for taking this job, but let's not kid ourselves.
He couldn't have gotten it but for losing his election.
And his defenders say he's not raking in massive cash.
Two million dollars a year minimum, not massive cash.
They will protect their own in Washington and New York.
They will provide and care for their own.
And for you, me and everyone else, we're supposed to be piled together on a social safety net.
Those at the top are supposed to have their income redistributed to make it comfortable for the people on the bottom who have everyone else piled up on top of them, while the rest of these clowns go off and do other things.
And in this environment where so many people are anti-Washington as it exists, whether Republican or Democrat, the Republicans are in jeopardy of losing a sure win seat in Kansas because they decided to renominate a guy who doesn't even live in Kansas, but is one of their own in their club in Washington.
The Republicans don't understand.
We hate them and the Democrats because they're creatures of Washington.
We hate Washington.
And the winning Republicans are going to be the Republicans who campaign on making Washington leave us alone.
Again, it's Washington that's the problem, not Democrats in charge of it.
And too many Republicans have forgotten that.
Eric Erickson in for Rush.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back.
It's Eric Erickson, in for Rush Limbaugh, 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
Let us go back to the phones.
Beth in Santa Ana, California.
You're up next to the EIB network.
Yes, hello, Eric.
Um, I have a different take on why Mr. Obama is uh failing to get us involved to uh in wiping out these despicable people.
I think it's uh a money issue.
Uh more costs money.
And I think he would rather divert all of those funds to his Obamacare to shore it up and also to further more entitlements to make more people dependent on the government.
Well my take.
More and more people, they may need Obamacare if ISIS crosses the border and does something, so maybe he's hoarding his resources for that.
I I don't know.
Look, I really think the president isn't in now, I hear the liberals right now, Beth, yelling at the two of us, saying he's sending cruise missiles.
Yes, he's sending cruise missiles, but not to Syria, where their main headquarters are.
Because again, we we have no strategy for Syria yet.
You know, the interesting thing, Beth, as an aside here.
Total tangent, I apologize.
But the people in the Pentagon are beginning to leak.
Like presidential appointees are beginning to leak that that the idiot.
No, we've been telling him about this for a year.
Generals are beginning to leak.
That's not a good sign.
But on this issue, I really, yeah, it could be money.
It very well could be money, but I really think part of it is that the president thinks that the United States has been the aggressor and that so many of the world's problems have been caused because of the United States, and he really belem, he said he wanted to fundamentally transform America.
He's gone on a world apology tour for the sins of the country.
And I really think he thinks if he pulls us off the world stage, that maybe the world can take care of itself.
I I'm I he the whole thing is so frustrating.
Beth, thanks very much for the call to the EIB network.
Let's go to Tom in Saginaw, Michigan.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hi, Eric.
Uh I got a cop uh comment on the uh people that are striking against uh McDonald's and Wendy's and the FCIUs behind it.
And the problem I have here is the FCIU is in the Oval Office, you know, five days a week, if not more, and Obama raised the federal minimum wage to ten dollars and ten cents.
So why is it the FEIU striking against the White House instead of striking against McDonald's and Wendy's and Burger King and everybody else?
Oh, right.
Now the president, he he didn't do it across the board as he could, but for projects within the federal government, he did by executive order, raise that wage.
But you see, the SEIU, they want the private sector minimum wage raised because they've already got so many of the people doing these agreements with the government.
They're already in unions.
The SEIU's got to expand its numbers in the private sector.
It's got to unionize the fast food market.
It's got to show these people who have never needed a union before that somehow the union is needed because they got to boost their numbers.
I mean, that again, Tom, as I was saying earlier, that's the sheer irony of this.
Let's say they're successful, and they raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for these people, assuming that they're suddenly not all unemployed, and we're only talking about 3-4% of the American public.
But let assuming they're not all of a sudden unemployed, suddenly their taxes are going to go up.
They're going to be in a tax bracket difference.
They're the fees and and and charges related to Obamacare are going to go up because their income's going to go up.
And suddenly they're going to have be members of the union, and their union dues are going to come out, and they're going to probably wind up at a deficit from where they are right now.
But the unions, of course, aren't going to point that out to any of them, because the unions are in this.
But and you know, the media's not going to point this out.
The media is in cahoots with him.
That reminds me, there's a story out.
I don't know if you people heard about this.
It broke last night.
The Huffington Buffington Post.
They've hired a 9-11 truther to cover national security.
It's not just any 9-11 truther.
It's Dante Stalworth.
He was a wide receiver in the NFL.
He's been hired.
He hadn't played any game since 2012.
He's a 9-11 truther.
He said that Osama bin Laden wasn't responsible for the attacks and that the Pentagon wasn't hit by a plane.
Never mind that Osama himself took credit for the 9-11 attacks.
They actually put this stuff on Twitter.
Now the Huffington Post wants you to know that Dante Stalworth, yes, yes, yes, yes.
He he did plead guilty to DUI and he killed a 59-year-old in Florida.
That's true back in 2009, but they believe in redemption and second chances, and they want you to know that Stalworth hasn't been a 9-11 truther for five years.
So in other words, he was a 9-11 truther for eight years following September 11, 2001.
But in the last few he hasn't been a 9-11 truther.
He still apparently doesn't believe that a plane hit the Pentagon.
He was tweeting about that late last year.
But you know, here's the here's the funny irony in all this.
Had Dante Stalworth tweeted anything in support of traditional Marriage, or if he gave money to Proposition 8 in California, there is no way he would work for the Huffington Boast.
But he can be a vaccine conspiracy guy and a 9-11 truther, and by God, he can work for a liberal publication.
Hi there.
Welcome.
The phone number here at the EIB network, 800-282-2882.
You can get me, Eric Erickson, on Facebook and Twitter at E.W. Ericsson.
Remember, I have a C and a K. Yes, someone asked me to explain my comment from earlier.
Yes, I I am we're not going to make a discussion nor take phone calls, but I'm going to grad school.
Since the last time I was here, I've gone to grad school.
It's technically seminary RTS Atlanta, but I'm I'm going back.
I I figure I can advance my education and read some some German and Wachamadiggy philosophers and theologians expand my mind.
All sorts of exciting things.
Now, we're going to go back to the phones.
I'm going to go to Steve and say what?
What I you know, I t Snarley wants to know if my mind is expanded.
I suppose it is.
All the big words I'm having to look up in these books.
You know, I I'm not planning on being a preacher or anything.
I just feel like I the world wants us to care about some of these issues.
I should go check up on them, and I I'm I'm reading some of these books and I I gotta have a dictionary by my side for some of them.
I thought I was smart, but man, some of these guys who wrote in the 17 and 1800s, oh, they they used some big words back then.
So, yeah, I guess my vocabulary is expanding, maybe not my mind.
How about that?
Let's go to Steve in Sacramento, California.
Steve, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
I appreciate you taking my call and I'm uh sending warm California greetings to Marietta, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.
Yes.
I wanted to ask you I wanted to ask you, Mr. Erickson, do you believe that the American media reporters you know like you have Fox News and all them other uh uh news networks that were over there uh uh in uh reporting from uh you know Israel and and Palestine conflict over a l live allocation, sympathizing with Hamas.
Do you think that our reporters over here are are paying attention to what happens to reporters over there uh with ISIS?
Well, they are to the extent that some of their colleagues have literally lost their heads, uh, but they're not there, and they're so invested in Barack Obama and the Democrats.
Remember, we do have a situation where everyone is largely convinced Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State for Barack Obama is going to run for president.
So they can't go all in on showing what a scam foreign policy this administration's been running because Hillary Clinton was directly involved in the formulation of that policy, so they can cry for their friends who've lost their heads, they can be angry about it and wish the president will do something, but ultimately, at the end of the day, the National Press Corps in America, the circle of jerks that forms it, they are all in on Team Democratic Party.
Now, what I think they're gonna do is they're going to shift, Steve.
They're gonna shift from being very pro-Obama to what we're already starting to see.
Bob Schiefer a couple of weeks ago started saying that all these reporters saying Hillary is has misplayed her hand.
No, no, she's right, something's gonna happen.
Schefer, he's the he's the dean now of the the circle of jerks up there, and then the the CBS News, the Sunday shows, he's gonna start suddenly, you're gonna see the whole tone of the media shift.
And they're gonna start saying, gosh, darn it, if only they had listened to Hillary more.
They're gonna start piling on John Kerry.
See, John Kerry's career is over now.
John Kerry, Chuck Hagel, they're done after Obama.
They got to rehabilitate Hillary.
And the way they rehabilitate Hillary is a fall guy.
It's gonna be Kerry.
It's going to be Susan Rice, Zamantha Powers, whoever, it's gonna be Barack Obama.
The press is they're on the team.
So they're upset.
They're upset.
Notice how they've downplayed stories, though.
Toby Harndon, I I I heard Stein talking about this the other day.
Toby Harndon has put out these reports, accurate reports, confirmed by sources in the Pentagon, that the president dragged his feet on trying to rescue Foley and and the other reporters.
He dragged his feet.
You haven't heard that widely spread among the media.
They've been dismissive of it.
They've been dismissive of Toby's reporting.
They've been dismissive of the sources in the Pentagon.
Because at the end of the day, they're on Team Democratic Party.
They're moving from Team Obama to Dean Hillary.
Right now, though, they've got to get through 2014.
They've got to stop the Republicans from getting control of the Senate.
They've got to push the Republicans out of as many governors' mansions as possible, so they will do whatever they can for Team Democratic Party, including if it means undermining our national security and avoiding certain stories.
For example, I mean, what's going on in in Ukraine right now?
The Russians have invaded Ukraine.
The president in his press conference last week where he said he had no strategy to deal with ISIS also said we're doing absolutely nothing to stop the Russians.
Putin, some of you out there, let me say this.
Some of you out there seem to be, well, admirers of Putin.
Well, he's got it going on.
He's got an agenda.
He he looks more manly than Barack Obama does when they're both outdoors.
Well, yeah, yeah, okay.
He is, yeah, okay.
He's he's more of a man.
He I I bet he does it peace sitting down.
But he's not a nice guy.
He's he's not our friend.
He's got an agenda, and it is not an agenda any of us should embrace or want to embrace.
Well, no, okay.
Obama doesn't have one either, and he's not necessarily our friend either, but I mean, yeah, I I I understand Snurley, but the Russians put it to you this way.
Barack Obama doesn't want to invade the United States.
He's already here.
Booty Boot would love to invade the United States if he had the opportunity.
He wants to sweep over Europe and take on a bunch of people who are our friends.
The polls are a little nervous and they're really nervous about Barack Obama.
But all the stuff, I'm getting distracted here.
All of this, the press isn't reporting.
The press isn't really reporting any of these things.
My buddy Strife over, he put this up at Red State.
Obama's talent speech probably guarantees peace in our times.
He's probably right.
Remember, Neville Chamberlain, he came back from negotiating with Hitler saying we would have peace in our times.
Everyone applauded, yay, we're not going to go to war with the Nazis.
It's only a little while later, the Nazis were rolling through Poland.
The president is the second coming of Neville Chamberlain.
Except, you know, Neville Chamberlain, he at least had Britain's interest at heart.
I, you know, for the longest time I sat on the sidelines and was pretty sure that Barack Obama was just incompetent in oversight.
And I I hear this from some of you that he really is.
He's he's an amateur.
It's amateur hour at the White House.
No, I have decided it is malicious.
I am Russia's Russia's been an evangelist towards me on this for a while.
And he's always been right when when people, when Obama first got elected and people were giving Rush hell for saying for we need for Obama to fail so the country could could succeed.
Now they understand what he was talking about.
Obama's been a little too successful.
The world order is collapsing in around itself, and the media won't report on any of it.
Because they're too worried about Republicans getting back since it's like these gay marcheries.
Did you know a judge in Louisiana yesterday upheld Louisiana's constitutional amendment affirming not only that marriage is between a man and a woman, but the state doesn't have to recognize gay marriages from other states.
You're not hearing about that in the media.
Or the European Court of Human Rights.
I read about this at the Daily Signal over at the Heritage Foundation.
The European Court of Human Rights, you know, American liberals love the idea of the Supreme Court taking direction from the European Court of Human Rights, because they're progressive.
They've got it together.
We should be more like those Europeans till last week when they ruled that gay marriage isn't a human right.
And you don't hear those stories in the media.
You don't hear anything that goes against the democratic narrative in the media.
You don't Hear stories of judges doing what they should be doing.
You hear stories of judges throwing out gay marriage around the country.
You hear stories of Barack Obama and hero worship and the great things Obama's doing and it's like the story in the stack of stuff today that unemployment benefits, they only went up slightly.
Unemployment claims, they went up.
But the media wants you to know it's just slightly.
They are going all in on Team Democrat.
They're going to have to start throwing people under Hillary Clinton's bus.
Her bus is starting to hit the road, putting Barack Obama's bus on the side of the road, and they're gonna have to start throwing people under Chuck Hagel, Powers, Rice, you name it.
Carrie, they're all gonna be under the bus pretty soon.
Joe Biden, his day is coming under Hillary Clinton's bus.
You just watch.
The media, what they choose not to report is as telling, if not more telling about their bias than what they choose to report.
Eric Erikson in for Rush Linball.
Welcome back, Eric Erickson, in for Rush Limbaugh today and tomorrow.
Unless you've had your fill.
The phone number full hey no, I was about to give you my cell phone number.
That's not a good thing to do.
800-282-2882.
I'm sorry.
It's it's I've been rambling on anyway.
So my friends, I I'm I s I'm on the radio.
This may surprise those of you in Rio Linda, but the voice you're hearing is coming from your radio.
And if you're hearing my voice, it means I'm talking behind a microphone live on the radio.
And for some reason, friends of mine are continuing to text and call to let me know that I'm on the radio, which I already know.
All right.
I'm going to go to George in Riverside, California.
George, I've been waiting for someone to take exception to this.
Welcome.
Thank you very much, Eric.
And here's the reason I take umbrage to your statement about uh people failing life.
People working minimum wage are losers.
First of all, I'm not saying they're losers, I'm saying they've failed at life.
There is a difference.
Failed at okay, failed at life.
You you can also somebody could construe that as losers, but failed at life.
Anyone in my opinion who works, whether at minimum wage or a CEO's salary, I respect.
I don't know why they're in that position.
Whether education, lack of English language, maybe they're working their way through it to get somewhere else.
But I do not like the idea of saying that.
I would prefer that they work and have something that they're prideful of than to be on welfare.
Now, I'm no fan of unions.
I watched the first time.
Let me stop you there, George.
George, George, George, George, George.
Let me stop you there.
Don't filibuster me.
Look, I want people to know who are working for minimum wage.
I'm glad they're working.
I also want people to understand that the overwhelming majority of people on minimum wage are teenagers in their first job.
But I'm I'm maybe more crass and hard than than you would like me to be, but if you're a 30 or 40-year-old and you're flipping a burger in a fast food place for minimum wage, then something has happened in your life and you failed at life.
That doesn't mean that you have to keep failing.
Some of these people are working hard to improve their station in life.
God bless you.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of them standing outside holding pre-manufactured signs just demanding more wage for the same work.
I personally think that's wrong.
Now I I mean no disrespect to the people who are working their rear end off, trying to improve their station in life.
I hope they succeed.
I I do not think, though, that they should be striking.
But again, I'm i it it it may be too hard for you.
I'm getting blowback from people who say they're conservatives on Twitter that it's just not nice.
But if you're a 30 or 40 something and you're working in a fast food joint and that is your career and you're making minimum wage, you've been doing something wrong, and it may be external factors to you.
I applaud you for getting a job.
But here's the thing.
And this separates the people who are on the line holding the protest signs and those who are still in there today not striking who are doing their job.
The people who are in there doing their job for minimum wage, they don't intend to stay at minimum wage.
They tend to advance themselves in life.
They intend to pass life.
It is the guys on the picket lines who've decided they're not going to go get more education.
They're not going to go improve their job skills.
They're not going to go suddenly get your freaking order right at McDonald's and give you what you actually ordered.
Instead, they're just going to stand out there and hold up a sign and yell and demand that someone pay them more money to still screw up your order.
They have failed at life.
And instead of deciding that they're going to now try to pass and they're going to try to improve their existence, they're just going to go up there and they're going to stand up and hold a picket sign and demand that you and I pay more for our burger or their employer make less profit so that they can get more money to do the exact same thing they were doing the day before yesterday.
The heroes, the people who are succeeding and will succeed, the people who will breed a new generation of successful Americans, are the people who aren't out on the picket line, but are still inside today while their friends are outside getting paid by the SEIU to pick it.
And they're still inside sweating, standing over the grill, flipping the burgers.
They're still at the cash register, ringing up the orders of the lunchtime crowd with less people in there to make it work.
And they're working hard.
And hopefully their employers will notice.
Hopefully, they will be able to get a pay raise without just demanding it.
They'll be successful.
They may not make the CEO salary.
They may eventually get to $15 an hour.
But they're the people who aren't bitter about it.
They're the people who have a contented soul, who understand the value of labor, who understand the value of hard work, and who do not think they need to go join a union and try to shut down a business because it's not giving them what they want.
Life isn't fair.
And just because you failed doesn't mean you can't try to succeed.
But the guys on the outside, the guys who are holding the picket signs, the guys who are complaining that they want extra money to still get your order wrong, yes, indeed.
They failed at life and they don't care to even try to pass.
Eric Eriksen, Infrarushland Ball.
Snerdley's in here giving me a hard time.
I never said the word loser.
You can still pass.
You can still win.
Look, if you fail at life, if you're gonna go out and stand up and hold a protest sign and say, give me more money, and I guarantee I'll still screw up your order.
Yeah, you totally failed at life.
I mean, if they're going to now sign a contract where they're going to get the order, including the customizations precise, then maybe we want to incentivize them to stop screwing up our order.
I I, you know, my kids are picky eaters.
I got a five-year-old and an eight-year-old.
They are, I mean, they are the children my wife and I deserve for our eating habits, and they are so picky.
And the eight-year-old is giving up on hamburgers altogether because she'd go to McDonald's and she'd want a cheeseburger, but she wouldn't want onions and mustard and pickles on just ketchup, cheese, bun, and meat.
And never did she get it the way she wanted it.
So she's just given up.
And those people are gonna stand outside and say we should pay them more.
No, I don't think so.
There.
Now, I didn't realize this.
Breitbart TV has this.
Apparently, we now have a special representative to Muslim communities.
Shariq Zafar, he's a Texas lawyer.
At least they hired a Texan.
He's a Texas lawyer.
And John Carey in a ceremony to appoint this guy says it is the United States' biblical responsibility to confront climate change, including to protect a direct quote, vulnerable Muslim majority counties.
Not countries, but counties.
Oh, I guess he meant countries.
