Time Text
With talent on loan from God.
I am Rush Limbaugh doing the job.
The drive-by media should be, and some say once used to do.
I doubt that.
But you get a more balanced presentation of news stories and a more honest take on all of them.
You will learn more in these three hours.
Then you will learn in a whole day of watching the drive-by media because we don't do soap opera template following here.
We deal with the news that is important and relevant and what is happening and the analysis and commentary unassailable.
Great to have you with us, folks.
Phone number if you want to be on the programs 800-282-2882 and the email address El Rushbow at EIB net.com.
So the Steelers have got some linebacker problems.
They lost a couple on Sunday night in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers.
They lost uh one of their great rookies, Ryan Shazier, number 50.
And a second year player, Jarvis Jones, just coming into his own dislocated or broken wrist is going to be gone at least eight weeks.
Not known how long Shazier is going to be gone.
Steelers played an amazing defensive game Sunday.
Shocked everybody the way they played.
So they want to keep the momentum going.
So they've gone back to old number 92, James Harrison, who announced his retirement from the Steelers back in September at a formal ceremony at the Steelers facility.
Now Harrison, for those of you who follow the game, know that he's been in trouble with the league before because this guy was a head hunter.
He followed the rules, but he hit with his head.
He led with his head laid a bunch of guys out, and he got fined repeatedly.
And he was on highlight rules called he got jacked up back when ESPN used to make stars out of guys that laid other guys out.
That's before they were guilt tripped.
And the whole concussion business.
So it's time to bring back James Harrison.
So they got to give him a physical, they got to negotiate a new deal with him.
That's being done.
But then somebody said, wait a minute, wait a minute.
James Harrison, didn't he hit a woman once?
Now right here it is, USA Today, at a time of heightened sensitivity in the National Football League about domestic violence.
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlins says that he expects no problem whatsoever with the Steelers' decision to re-sign a player as an issue in the past that has parallels to Ray Rice's.
Linebacker James Harrison, number 92, admitted to police in March of 2008 that he broke down a bedroom door, slapped his girlfriend in the face, and snapped her cell phone in half during an argument that the Steelers said at the time was over whether to baptize Harrison's son.
That was all in a criminal complaint.
Allegheny County prosecutors dropped charges of simple assault and criminal mischief against Harrison after he entered into domestic abuse counseling.
And the girlfriend, Beth Tibbet, said that she did not wish to pursue further charges.
Now, the chairman of the Steelers, Dan Rooney, faced scrutiny at the time for applying a double standard.
When the team cut wide receiver Cedric Wilson hours after his own domestic violence arrest less than two weeks later, Steelers stood by Harrison.
The NFL did not suspend him.
So naturally, at a press conference yesterday, they asked Mike Tomlin about this.
They want to know here, what's the deal bringing back Harrison?
And the question was, I know it's been seven years, but it's a different claimant now with everything going on around the league.
What went into the thinking about standing by James Harrison when he had his incident when it hasn't been the case with other player?
Meaning they let Cedric Wilson go.
They kept Harrison.
Look, everybody knows the answer to the question.
Harrison could play.
It's why the Ravens wanted to keep Ray Rice.
He can play.
I mean, it's one of the, I don't hate the phrase dirty little secrets, but everybody knows.
They had invested a lot of money.
They less invested a lot of time in Harrison.
Harrison had spent ten years with the team getting cut numerous times.
He'd really worked his way up to a starter position and may in fact have the greatest play in Super Bowl history, a 100-yard interception return against the Arizona Cardinals.
Anyway, here's what Mike Tomlin had to say.
It's been seven years.
And it is a different climate.
I've discussed directly that climate change with James.
But knowing James over those seven, eight years, he's grown a lot as has his lady, and I don't anticipate that being an issue at all moving forward.
Obviously not, or they wouldn't have brought him back in this climate, as you say.
And there haven't been any subsequent issues with James Harrison since that incident, seven or eight years ago.
Now, in light of that, you know, last week, I think, in the heat of all of this discussion about Ray Rice, domestic violence et al.
In the National Football League, I referenced a piece I'd read in the New York Post by Phil Mushnick in which he pointed out that every one of these players in the NFL that's been accused of or charged with some form of domestic violence is a college man.
They all come out of college.
What was going on in college?
Were they not trained?
Were they not educated?
Would they engage in this behavior in college?
Was it looked the other way?
I remember, just as a illustration of this, I don't know how many five years ago now, maybe six time flies.
The former coach at the University of Tennessee, Philip Fulmer, one year, twenty-one players on his team were arrested for various problems with the law.
And he was driven to frustration, and he actually at a press conference said he couldn't understand why young men with such a unique and great opportunity to play football at Tennessee and perhaps end up playing on Sunday in the NFL and all that could mean to them economically, financially.
He didn't understand, couldn't understand why young men would just throw that all away over in one night.
and Now the odds are he did.
I don't want to put words in his mouth, but the point is these guys all come from somewhere.
My point back then was the NFL doesn't turn these guys into this kind of behavior.
They arrive that way.
And in many cases, it's the same way on college campaign.
They arrive that way.
So what is it that is happening in their lives that they arrive with these behaviors intact?
And why is it that there hasn't been any discipline meted out prior to that?
Well, one of the answers to that is, and I'm sure you've seen it in your life, a young kid could be as young as 11 or 12, exhibits rare athletic talent and skill.
Could be pitching a baseball, could be hitting one, could be throwing a football, could be swinging a golf club at a hundred miles an hour, it could be anything.
But once it is spotted, those kids are immediately focused on and coddled and shaped and formed, and everything is done for them to ensure that they have every chance to take that skill or athletic talent as far as they can.
So it's looked the other way.
If they cut class, they don't go to class, it's looked at the people don't pay attention.
And they are coddled, and they very rarely are said no to.
They're not subject to discipline, everybody else is, and they grow up expecting that kind of reverential treatment.
You've seen it, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Hell, let me give you this is a really it's a it's an example of this, but it's it's not this is not bad.
This is just an example.
When I worked for the Kansas City Royals, an incident, it was it was kind of it was funny in a way, it was charming in a way, but it's it's still illustrative.
Every off-season, various clubs have awards, banquets, and dinners to keep interest in baseball alive during the cold and snowy winter months, and they'll bring in award winners from around the league that come in at a big banquet and dinner, and they'll show video highlights of all the players from outside of town.
And we had a guy that was invited to go to the Milwaukee awards dinner, and it was in January.
Well, there weren't any direct flights from Kansas City to Milwaukee.
So the player had to go through Chicago.
The player had never been in an airport, even though he traveled with the team, though it's all charters.
Bus takes you to the airplane, bus picks you up at the airplane, bus takes you to the hotel where you are met by an official with your room key.
You don't even see the front desk.
You get on the plane, the plane flies, the plane lands, you get on a bus, go right to the hotel, you're given your room key, you go up to your room, you never check in, you never check out, you never see your luggage.
And it's done that way for convenience.
It's the you're gonna move around a lot of people.
That's that's the way you do it.
It's not done to treat them like kings, it's it's for efficiency.
But this poor guy didn't know what to do once he got off the plane of Chicago.
He'd never changed planes.
He didn't know what to do.
We had to ask him what signs are you seeing, and uh I just mentioned that as an example of how a lot of them end up being sheltered and and and protected once they're very young and exhibit this kind of of talent.
Now it's all leading up to this story.
This is from Alabama.com.
I just got this about 25 minutes ago.
Auburn University is reportedly, now keep this in mind, Alabama.com, state rivalries and all that.
So we'll we'll take this under advisement.
Auburn University reportedly recruiting a defensive tackle dismissed by Georgia over assault and family violence charge.
Now I'm not gonna mention the guy's name because I don't know how true this is, but I'm just gonna read you the story.
It appears that X is working his way back into SEC circles.
Auburn is reportedly keeping tabs on the 6'5, 320-pound defensive tackle, who was cut from George's program in July, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, family violence, and was subsequently dismissed by the Bulldogs.
It wasn't his first run-in with the law, as he was also one of four players arrested after trying to double cash scholarship checks in March.
Now, while his uh legal issues have yet to be resolved, X is currently on the road to redemption at a community college in Mississippi.
So the point here, while everyone's focused on the Ray Rice incident in the NFL, this is a little nugget here for you.
Auburn and LSU are both trying to recruit X, who used to play at Georgia.
The coach dismissed him at Georgia after he was arrested for punching his girlfriend in the face.
Does that sound familiar?
And it's so you wonder where these players with these attitudes come from.
As Mushnick said, they're all college men.
Where does this where does this start?
So the NFL gets blamed here.
But as I said, I uh the NFL is not creating this atmosphere of behavior, uh, or this climate of behavior.
They may have been looking to get away in certain instances tolerating it, but they're not in fact I I'll just say one more time.
The NFL, in many cases, is probably the first real formal workplace discipline that a lot of players have uh have ever encountered.
It's required to stay on a team.
I'm talking about discipline at the facility, not in your uh off hours or private life.
Okay, I gotta take a quick break here.
We'll come back and continue because there's still lots more, my friends don't go away.
Greetings, my friends, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
I'm gonna get the phone calls after the next I may squeeze one in here before the next break, but there's one more thing I want to get into before I get to the phone calls.
As you know, ladies and gentlemen, I am mayor of Realville.
And what that means is I do not live in fantasy land, and I don't construct scenarios that I wish were true and live them.
And I don't see things and analyze them and massage them as I wish they were.
I am the mayor of Realville.
I'm totally devoted to what's real.
The population of Realville is very small, by the way.
It didn't take much to get elected mayor.
Nobody else ran.
Story here, Mainstreet.com headlined, what economic recovery.
The upshot of this story is a poll that 72% of Americans believe we are still in a recession.
Exactly.
This is something that I have known for a long time.
In all of this reporting about the unemployment rate coming down and the recession supposedly being over and there being an economic recovery.
If you've been listening here regularly for the past three years, you know full well that I have unabashedly said there is no recovery.
We haven't recovered from anything.
We're getting worse.
We got 92 million Americans not working, yet they're all eating.
We have unemployment which is actually skyrocketing.
People working 30 hours or less now because of Obamacare.
Part-time work, if work is to be found, is about what can be found.
But certainly the idea that there are opportunities for career building, they're dwindling.
And we've been told by various elements of the regime, well, you know this is the new norm.
Well, the past, the Reagan years, all this economic growth, that really wasn't natural.
That's the exception.
The real America is what is happening now, and you'd better adjust to it.
We've been told that in any number of ways by any number of people in the Democrat Party and in the media.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the economic system unfairly favors the rich, and most 72% believe the U.S. is still in a recession.
Economists generally agree that the Great Recession ended in June of 2009.
I mean, really, five months after Obama was immaculated?
Come on.
But as individuals, reality is the life we live, it says here, and for so many of us, 57% reality means we are in fair or poor financial condition.
This is, according to the just released 2014 American Value Survey fielded by the Public Religion Research Institute.
People are cutting back on meals, struggling to pay bills.
That's a fact of everyday life for a surprisingly large number of Americans.
Robert Jones of the Public Religion Research Institute said, despite the fact there's been improvement in the economy since the Great Recession, approximately four in ten Americans live in households experiencing high or moderate levels of economic insecurity.
Economic insecurity remains highly stratified by race.
Nearly 60% of black Americans living in households with high or moderate levels of economic insecurity, despite the fact that the president is African American and is the first African American president.
If America was once viewed as the land of opportunity, the mindset, or that mindset, land of opportunity seems missing in the people who were polled.
More than half 55% of citizens surveyed here believe that one of the biggest problems now facing the country is the fact that not everyone is given an equal chance to succeed in life.
76% of blacks, 62% of Hispanics, 58% of Asian Americans think that not everyone is given an equal chance to succeed.
Two-thirds, I I would like to know who gives that that uh chance.
I I don't know who it is.
Did you know sturdy when you're growing up that you who did you go see to get the equal chance to succeed in life?
I didn't even know the office.
What town was this equal chance at success dispensed in?
Well, no, it wasn't in Realville.
We do not have an office for equal chance to succeed in life.
I don't even have a cabinet level area for that.
What is this equal chance to succeed in everybody given an equal chance to succeed in life?
Who gives that chance?
Where is that chance?
Where do you go apply for that equal chance to succeed in life?
Okay, but to these people in this poll, they believe that.
So what does this mean that they believe?
They're denied what?
Uh what is it you need to succeed?
Well, whatever they think it is, they don't think they're getting it.
Which means what?
Success is handed out.
That means horrible things.
It means that they're preferences in who succeeds and who doesn't.
And that somebody's in charge of that.
And what do you bet in these people's minds it's Republicans that do that?
Okay, back to the phones, as promised.
And let's see.
Let's let's try Joyce in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Hi, Joyce.
Welcome.
Great to have you here.
King of Think, Mayor Realville.
I thank you very much.
How are you?
I'm good.
I've talked to you before, and I have your books, and I'm 59 years old, and I I've learned so much from them.
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much.
That's very nice of you to say.
You didn't have to say it, despite how much you were paid, and I appreciate it.
I was I wish I was paid.
But no, I really learned a lot.
In fact, I've always said I need to go back to grade school.
I've been saying that for years, you know.
Right.
And it but they used to teach us that stuff.
You know.
And they don't anymore, which is why I've um found it necessary, literally necessary to write these books.
They're fun.
They're fun and and they're very worthwhile, but they've they're necessary as well.
But that isn't why I called.
I called for two things.
Can I uh be mad as Hades with you, not at you.
Um my two things are um I need your opinion on one of 'em, but I'm mad as hops over this reluctant lawyer thing.
What kind of a label, lame excuse slash lie did he concoct before he came out with that?
So, well, you let me the the reluctant warrior thing is easy.
No, I I don't want to be insulting when I say it's easy to understand.
Don't miss it.
The reluctant warrior thing is just to not tick off his base.
The reluctant warrior is code language for okay, you fringe Michael Moore types.
He doesn't really want to do this, but he's got to so that we don't lose the Senate in November.
Reluctant warrior means he hasn't changed.
He's not a warmonger, he's not a hawk, he really doesn't want to do it.
He'd be dragged and kicking into it, but since he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it the best he can, but he really doesn't want to.
So you leftists don't think he's betraying you.
That's all reluctant warrior means.
I know that, and you know why that makes me so mad, because I uh saw the those 13-hour guys that saved or tried to Ambassador Stevens.
They are warriors.
I looked up in dictionaries, and reluctant and warrior or contradiction in terms.
Of course, it's not possible.
Reluctant warrior is the you're not warriors are not reluctant.
They're not reluctant.
No.
Heroes can be thing is do the libs want a reluctant I wasn't gonna say doctor, but I'm gonna say veterinarian.
Do they want a reluctant veterinarian?
No.
No.
Okay, so that's my one thing.
I'm not sure.
What's the other thing?
Um let's see.
My other thing is, oh I can't even believe I would say something like this, but I'm the same.
Oh, it must be really juicy then.
What is it?
What is it?
I'm the female general patent.
My husband calls me an army sergeant.
He's done it for years.
Oh, I can see that.
That just means he loves you.
He's uh you know Oh, we do love each other.
You're the warden.
You're the warden of the house.
Oh, he's the boss.
Oh, he's the general.
Anyway, what is the what is the second point?
Oh, the second point.
Okay.
Uh is Obama trying to lose this war?
I mean, seriously.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No way.
No, no way.
That no Democrat wants to lose a war with himself in the Oval Office.
If they could have engineered losing the Iraq war with Bush in office, they didn't do that.
No, he doesn't want to.
That's why they're gonna proclaim it a victory.
That's why Kerry's out there already on the verge of proclaiming it a victory.
They know that they're weak in in in people's minds on national security and military matters.
Uh so it all it all folds nicely into this reluctant warrior uh label.
He really doesn't want to do.
You know, Obama, he's really not a war guy, and and he he he promised that the U.S. isn't gonna be doing this anymore.
And believe me, folks, the left wing base.
I I've said this a number of times, and I'm uh I'm thinking maybe you might be tired of hearing it over, but you've got to.
I because it's true.
The left wing in this country is unstable anyway.
Their natural state is is imbalanced and unstable.
But they were turned literally insane for five years by the Democrat Party and the media over the Iraq War.
I mean, they're hatred was inflated and pumped up.
It was intensified for five years.
The Democrat Party and the media drove their own base into abject insanity that resulted from the hatred they were they were uh instructed to feel over what Bush was doing in Iraq and Shaney with Halliburton and all of that stuff.
And Obama got elected, promising that bunch of people never again.
We're not gonna go to war.
We're gonna save the planet.
We're not gonna kill it.
We're gonna do all kinds of wonderful, beautiful, we're not gonna have any need for war anymore because the world is going to love us once again.
We're not gonna have any enemies.
That's what Obama can do.
And add to that, Obama claimed that he had wiped out Al Qaeda after getting Osama.
So of all things the irony that for for Barack Obama to save the Senate for the Democrat Party, he has to go to war.
What irony?
I mean, in in one sense, it's juicy as it can be.
The thing that got him elected, the stances, the anti-war positioning, the anti-war statements, the anti-war exhortations to his own base got him elected.
The promise to get out of Iraq, the promise to close Gitmo, the promise to essentially lose the Iraq War, got him elected.
And now look.
So he has to be a reluctant warrior.
It has to be, he doesn't really want to do it.
But you know, they did such a good job of taking out Al Qaeda that this new splinter group, the Kardashians, is formed, and the Kardashians are out now trying to regroup and do what Al-Qaeda did.
So poor old Obama.
He thought he wiped him out, but there's a couple cockroaches that started populating and bam, they're back.
So he's gotta go back and he's gotta do it.
He really doesn't want to.
But no way.
No way is it ever going to be said we lost this?
Are you kidding?
Does Obama want to lose the war?
Now not not while he's in the Oval Office.
Or on the golf course either.
He does not want to lose.
And have that on the uh on the presidential historical record or resume.
Joyce, thanks for the call.
Appreciate it.
This is uh this is Mark in Seattle.
Great to have you, sir.
Thank you for waiting.
Hello.
Rush.
Yes, sir.
Hey, what an honor.
Thank you much.
Never won the lottery, but I now know how it feels.
It's uh a true honor, true privilege.
Um anyway, I wanted to talk about the uh the war, uh the bombing.
Right.
And uh I was uh listening to the news and uh listening to how big of a success it is and how much they're accomplishing by dropping the bombs, and it's just unreal.
And and I would it hit me.
I was wondering if it's so successful.
If the bombing mission is so successful, why don't we uh send in the girl scouts to wrap this thing up then?
What's uh what's the hesitancy for bringing uh you know not putting boots on the ground?
Well, they haven't said it's that successful, uh send in the girl scouts.
By the way, isn't the Girl Scouts isn't that a prejudicial organization?
I mean the girl the Girl Scouts, don't they they they don't let lesbians in, or is it the Boy Scouts that didn't want gays in?
Whatever.
Um the Boy Scouts, yeah.
And I don't know.
Do the um Does ISIS like cookies?
You might have a good idea if they like cookies, could poison a cookbook.
And where do we go next?
Tuesday night.
This is Joyce, Joyce in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rosh.
How are you today?
I'm fine and dandy.
A challenging uh day in some senses, but I think we're triumphing here.
Uh how about you listening?
Sir.
Yeah, go you you're you're this is what I mean by challenging you.
You're up.
You're your turn to speak.
Okay, my turn.
Mayor of Realville, I'm pretty grounded in real bill.
And I just want to comment first on what a lot of other people said about putting boots on the ground.
Yeah.
And I wonder if any of them have a son or a daughter or a parent that are the people who are going to put those boots on the ground.
I mean, we're sacrificing American lives, and we're gonna deja vote, aren't we?
Well, but now wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, well, hold just a second here.
The people that join, it's a volunteer force.
People that join know full well uh what what they're up against.
And and the fact remains, Joyce, that if you're gonna engage in an operation like this, the military experts, the generals, the joint chiefs, everybody, they say that whatever you secure with air power, you will not hold it without ground troops backing them up and actually conquering or taking territory prisoners, whatever that the air power uh gives you, then without ground troops, all of this is eventually gonna add up to nothing.
I understand that.
But those people sign up to defend our country.
Isn't that what they sign up for?
We already went to R Iraq and put our boots on the ground with a very little success.
And they have to Well no, wait, wait, wait, not not true.
The surge Well, they did have success, but we're back in the same boat, aren't we?
We are back in the same boat because Obama removed all of the ground troops in order to placate his base after he was elected.
We're still in Afghanistan, too, and that hasn't solved it.
Well, we're in Afghanistan, but we've announced we're leaving, so that's essentially waving the white flag.
I just want to make a point about you know, I'm just an average everyday American who works for a living.
I understand.
And the economy, as we've talked about, is still a big problem with people unemployed and whatnot.
Totally.
Totally understand.
So the Iraqis ran away.
Their army representatives ran away from their own fight.
And if they're not willing to fight for their country, why should we?
No, no, no, no.
Hang on, let me finish.
My other thing.
No, Obama's training them.
You haven't heard.
Yes, I know he's training them.
But that doesn't necessarily mean we need to send our people.
Let me make one more point about this because it all hits the economy.
All right.
Somehow we have money for the uh, you know, Chilean miners and every tsunami and the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war, but all they talk about is cutting Medicare, cutting Social Security.
Why don't we think of that?
Well, hang on, these are the oil.
Wait a minute.
They have a lot of money.
Nobody's why don't we rent the money?
Nobody's cutting Social Security.
No, but listen, they're constantly talking about how we can't afford things, how we have to cut government, and we don't take care of our own backyard when it comes to war like this, which I'm with owning country.
I must respect I must respectfully disagree.
We have spent since 1964, Joyce, 22 trillion dollars taking care of our own.
The war on poverty, LBJ, and the Great Society, Robert Rector, the Heritage Foundation ran the numbers, reported on it last week.
Twenty-two trillion dollars.
Joyce, it simply isn't right to say that we are not taking care of our own.
We have created a European-style welfare state where what we've really done is teach people how not to take care of themselves.
We have created a country where nearly half the population is dependent on government.
Now that's not to disagree with you.
We are extending the same welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
We are extending the same kind of benefits in disaster relief around the world.
We're the only nation that can, even though we don't really have the money.
I get your point here.
But it's not as if we have forsaken our own.
We have not.
Now the the Medicare cutbacks you talked about, once again, everybody was warned about this back during the days we were debating Obamacare, and nobody I can't say this a lot of people didn't listen.
But Obamacare is still not, it never has been supported by a majority of people in this country.
And more and more people are learning as this rolls out that it's going to cost them a lot of money, and they're going to suffer a lot of cutbacks in service, in actual medical coverage, not just insurance coverage, actual medical treatment.
But but but that's simply we don't have the money.
We don't have the money for any of this.
But but you can't say this is it's a it's a standard during the the space program.
This was a common refrain.
What are we doing going to the moon?
Well, we got people starving in the moon.
Don't worry, we're feeding them.
Well, why are we going to the moon?
Because we've got people in this country that can't even find it.
Don't worry, they're on unemployment.
The fact of the matter is that the social safety net in this country became a hammock a long time ago.
And it simply isn't accurate to say we don't take care of our own.
We have to the tune of 22 million trillion.
The problem is we have not taught people to be self-reliant and self-sufficient.
In fact, we have stigmatized those two things.
When it is suggested that like what this this story that I that I just had here about the the poll that 72% of the people still think we're in a recession, they don't think there's an equal chance for success.
You make your success.
You create your opportunities.
You know what luck is?
Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.
That's what luck is.
I forget whose definition that is, but it was a smart guy.
Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.
There is nobody handing out chances at success.
And there never has been, unless you're as a Kennedy.
You have to create your own opportunities.
You have to make your own success.
That's called self-reliance.
It's called pride.
It's called any any number of things.
It's called finding a passion, devoting yourself to it, not sitting around waiting for something to come your way.
But that's what we've done.
We've created a significant portion of our population and converted Them into waiters.
They're sitting around waiting for this to happen or this to be given or that opportunity to come or what have you, because they have been ill educated.
That's the real, if you want to say crime.
The real crime in this country is how the left gaining control of the education system has convinced more and more people that because they are Americans, they are entitled to X, Y, and Z, and maybe even A, B, and C, whatever it is.
And the notion now of self-reliance and hard work, that's stigmatized.
Oh, yeah, easy for you to say.
Well, no, it's just the way it is.
There's plenty of opportunity out there.
There's plenty of success waiting to be tapped.
There's plenty of innovation waiting to be invented or taken place.
It's all over the place, but it never comes to you.
Well, it may, but you have to recognize it when it does.
But it always is the result of you taking action to make something happen.
Let me tell us an added danger to all of this welfare.
22 trillion.
There's another component to it.
Every two years the Democrats come along and tell you the Republicans are going to take it away from you.
And they never do.
We don't take away welfare benefits of anybody.
