Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, let's see if I understand this right.
Marco Rubio and his wife are being investigated by the New York Times for 17 moving violation tickets.
17 traffic tickets, big story, the New York Times, 17 traffic tickets.
And you got Denny Haster basically drummed out of the human condition for withdrawing his own money from a bank.
And meanwhile, over here are the Clintons and their Crime Family Foundation and Zip Zero Nada.
Not a single thing.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday.
Yes, sir Rebob, my friends, Open Line Friday, which many people think doesn't sound like any other day in the broadcast week, and that's up to you.
It's totally up to you.
It's also up to Mr. Snerdley.
Look, I have no idea.
I can't sit in there when the phone calls are screened.
I happen to know that Snerdley professionally disagrees with my desire to do Open Line Friday.
I've heard this said.
I mean, there's office scuttlebutt in every office, including here at the EIB network.
And according to what I've heard, Snerdley thinks that Open Line Friday, if he really does it the way I describe it, it's a pain in the rear for him to do it.
You see, Monday through Thursday, it's easy to weed out the callers that do not qualify.
It's very easy.
If they're not talking about something I care about, they're gone.
And if they can't talk, they're gone.
And if they say something that Snerdley believes, he'll put them on, whether I believe it or not.
But Open Line Friday is specifically aimed at people, the callers, choosing what we talk about, whether I care about it or not, whether Snerdley agrees with it or not, whether I agree with it or not, whether Snerdley can understand it or not.
And yet every Friday, it doesn't sound any different than Monday through Thursday.
And so the link in this mystery has to be Snerdley.
I have to think, I mean, I've been offering all kinds of great opportunities for callers to call here and talk about whatever they want.
Doesn't have to be politics, doesn't have to be anything I agree with.
And this is like Catherine's dad the other day came up, arrived in town for a little stay here at the family of Boe and said, you know, I love Open Line Friday.
I said, why?
Because it's the same as Open Line Monday.
I can't tell a difference.
You're just joking with people.
I said, no, no, I'm not.
Snerdley may be messing with me.
I'm not.
Literally, folks, I can only take the calls I get.
And that depends on Snerdley.
So if Snerdley harbors a secret professional format disagreement with me, then I can sit here and promise you all kinds of stuff that you'll get on the program whether you talk about something I care about or not.
Anyway, that's the way it works.
And it was designed.
If you go back to the Ruits, I don't have guests, and I don't take that many calls.
And some of the early criticism of the program was that I talk too much and that I dominate programs with my show.
I dominate the program too much.
So I came up with Open Line Friday as a technique to show fairness and tolerance and openness and so forth.
But I've got dissension in the ranks.
If the official program observer and call screeners thinks Open Line Friday is a pain in the rear for him and therefore doesn't do it, then that's where we are.
Now, I know what's going to happen now.
He's going to purposely try to find the most confusing, hard-to-understand people to put them through.
So that's what you said you wanted.
I have such an open relationship with my employees, they can openly, they can willingly, in front of my face, engage in insubordination and think they're going to get away with it and expect a bonus.
So, anyway, give it a shot here again: 800-282-2882.
If you want to be in the program, the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, we mentioned, I mentioned this to you some time ago, and then it went dormant because I had to wait for the day to be able to tell you the day has arrived when Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, the first in a series of children's books, age 10 to 13, on American history.
When the first book came out, immediately people said, You've got to make this book available in Espanol.
And then the second book in the series came out, and a third book in the series came out.
And each time a new book came out, people clamored for more, demanding more.
Kids calling, Will there be another Rush Revere book?
I want more of liberty, blah, blah, blah.
And in each case, we've always been able to answer in the affirmative.
And I told you that we're working on a Spanish version of these books.
And I'm here to tell you that we have pulled this off.
And it is no mean feat, this.
It's taken quite a while to make this happen.
Not going to bore you with all of the things that we had to do.
And I'm not talking about concessions.
I mean, it was just you have to convince people there's a market for it.
But we are here to announce that on June the 9th, we will be releasing Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, the first book in the adventure series in Spanish.
And our hope is that newly arrived legal immigrants coming to the United States will be able to learn the positive and incredible story of the founding of the greatest country on earth in an accurate and fun, involved way.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, overwhelmingly, universally popular, even among adults.
We've had stories from people who've read these books.
Again, they're targeted age 10 to 13 who say they learn things in these books that they didn't know.
I mean, people that are parents' and grandparents' age.
And it's been a rewarding thing, as you know.
I've spent a lot of time talking about these books using the vehicle of time travel, be able to take students really back to seminal events in American history and put them there and enable them to talk with people like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, George Washington.
I mean, the whole shebang.
And to have the books available in Spanish is something we were urged to do almost from the get-go.
And so here we are.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Spanish edition, will be perfect for bilingual American families that want their kids to further their Spanish language skills while at the same time learning the true story of American history and being a part of exciting adventures.
So we essentially we're participating here in an effort to assimilate people into the American culture via American history and the American way of life.
Really proud of this, folks.
Really, really proud of this.
We're going to be posting special announcements on June the 9th on Facebook on all of our websites.
They're going to start a very limited quantity at Barnes Noble, Walmart, Amazon.
You might have to search a little to find these.
This is part of the marketing thing that we've been going through here, but we are expecting great things.
And since so many people have been asking, I just wanted to let you know that we have succeeded here and are able to make the announcements.
On June 9th, the first book, the inaugural book in the Rush Revere series, Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, available in Espanol.
Hey, folks, what is more dangerous?
Smoking or living in Baltimore?
No, no, no, it's a serious question.
Tobacco is taxed.
Why is it taxed?
Tobacco is taxed for a plethora of reasons.
It's taxed to discourage people from using it because it is said it can lead to an early death.
It can lead to other problems.
It kills.
We also tax tobacco in order to pay for, and in a couple of cases, entirely fund, children's health care programs.
Are you aware of that?
The taxes derived from the sale of tobacco, that revenue is used to pay for children's health care programs.
I've always said that smokers deserve a special thanks, despite all the obstacles they face.
I mean, we don't ban the product.
We make it available.
You can sell it.
You can buy it, but you can't use it very many places in America anymore without running the gauntlet.
And yet these people continue to buy the product.
They continue to use it at higher and higher prices, just astronomically high prices.
They continue to buy the product.
They pay the price.
And the taxes go to children's health care programs.
So if tobacco is taxed to discourage people from using it, because it can lead to an early death and other problems, and that's the primary reason it's taxed.
I mean, let's pay the tax revenue and the prices are designed to dissuade people from using the product.
I mean, that would be the primary purpose that the nannies in life and the social do-gooders would give you.
So using that logic, should we not be taxing Democrats?
Look at their policies.
Look at Democrat policies.
They ruin families.
Democrat policies spread ignorance in the scrools.
Democrat policies make health care unaffordable.
This results in great stress from unemployment and underemployment.
And Democrats have created and maintained dangerous cities with horrible crime and death rates.
It's arguably more dangerous living in Baltimore than it is to smoke cigarettes.
Look at the death rate.
I'm not joking.
It's an excellent way to make a point.
And I think it'd be perfect opportunity to say we need to raise tax, just tax registered Democrats the way we tax tobacco because Democrats are causing illness.
Democrats cause strife.
Democrat policies are ruining cities.
Democrat policies have ruined families.
Just a little think piece.
You heard about the controversy in Pittsburgh.
You know, these public transit buses have advertising banners on the side of them.
And in Pittsburgh, there's an advertising banner on the side of buses with the words Ziggin and Zaggin.
Z-I-G-G-I-N, Z-A-G-G-I-N.
And officials say that they have received complaints recently that the slogan Ziggin Zagon is offensive when read backwards because it spells out a racial slur.
And so Jim Ritchie with the Port Authority in Pittsburgh said, we will acknowledge that we are going to remove the message from the buses.
Due to recent complaints about how this message appears when read backward, we have decided to remove the message from our vehicles.
Now, it's going to take us several days to remove these things properly.
Please be patient.
And we apologize to anyone who may have been offended.
A few days ago, a driver complained after seeing the slogan on a bus in her rear view mirror.
She says that it spells out a racial slur when you read it backwards.
In terms of the message being offensive, it's not a surprise at all.
It's a very serious and hurtful offensive message.
And we felt the best thing to do was simply take it off, said Jim Ritchie, the Port Authority spokesman, said the slogan had been wrapped around nine buses since 2003.
And it's the first time anybody had ever complained about it.
It was part of a marketing campaign that comprised six different slogans like rock and rolling, moving, grooving, ziggin' zagging.
Some people say the stickers need to be taken off immediately, while others say they don't see a problem.
Cynthia Sharkey of Moon Township.
It may be an overreaction, but I can see where some people would be offended.
Benjamin Dixon of Homewood.
Come on, you got to be kidding.
Who really thinks about looking at it backwards?
It's ziggin' and zagging.
A vehicle zigs and zags to the city, picks somebody up.
It's a bus for crying out loud.
So now we've gotten to the point where if you can see a word backwards and it offends you, it's got to come off a public bus.
What do you think ziggin' zaggin is backwards?
It doesn't even spell a word.
It might spell a pronunciation, but it does not spell a word.
Well, maybe in the urban dictionary, it's spelled that way, but we're talking with Z's in there.
This is the height.
This is political correctness run amok.
How many people were offended?
One or two?
And look at the reaction.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, I see what you're talking about.
Oh, we'll take this down immediately.
Ziggin?
We're losing the language here, folks.
Something, there's not even any intention here.
There's not even any ill intent.
You know, this reminds me of this poor guy that was in the Washington, D.C. City Council.
He used the word niggardly to describe a problem they were having in the city budget.
And they had to, the guy got fired for using the word niggardly, N-I-G-G-A-R-D-L.
It means stingy, any number of things.
But because the word sounded like the N-word, it has nothing to do with the N-word, nothing to do with the definition.
It just sounded like it.
And because of the ignorance and stupidity of people who didn't know that there was a word called niggardly, they had to get rid of the guy.
The guy got fired.
I'm reminded of an Ohio minister who once found the satanic message in the Mr. Ed theme song.
And the Mr. Ed TV show, which was his indication, had to be canceled.
Well, actually, it wasn't.
The minister in that case did not succeed.
Everybody laughed him off.
That's the point.
Ohio minister comes around.
Hey, there's a satanic message in the theme song to Mr. Ed.
If you play it backwards, what do you mean if you play it backwards?
Who in the world can play the theme song on a television show backwards?
How do you do it?
Anyway, the guy claims it was there.
They told him to go pound sand.
Now, somebody comes up, looks at the word ziggin zagon, and they claim racial insult, racial offensive remark words, and the city of Pittsburgh Port Authority just hops to, oh, gee, sorry, yeah, you know what, you're right, and they take it down.
I got to take a break.
We'll be back and continue.
It's Open Line Friday, by the way.
Taking next week off, folks, the golf trip that my buddies and I usually do late in August or in early September has been moved up to next week.
And so that's why.
So this is the last day for me.
Mark Stein, a couple days next week.
Oh, yeah, Eric Erickson, Buck Sexton next week.
So, yes, Hedgecock is back.
Hedgecock's going to be back for a day.
Oh, look, Snurden, you're happy about that because he doesn't do Open Line Friday, right?
One person, one person driving a car in Pittsburgh sees the word ziggin and Zagon, says she's offended, and the city just snaps to and says, fine, you're offended.
We don't want to offend anybody.
We'll get rid of it.
Where's this going to lead?
The word live or live, spelled backwards, evil.
Lived, spelled backwards, devil.
That going to offend some people.
Knits, spelled backwards, spelled stink.
Snug, spelled backwards, smells, spells guns.
Where's it going to stop?
You know, I keep waiting.
I really do.
For somebody besides us, folks, I know you're with me.
Somebody besides me, I'm somebody stand up and just tell these people to screw off and go away instead of everybody standing up and bending over and grabbing the ankles and acting afraid of all of this.
There's a big story today.
It's in The Spectator.
And it's another, see, I told you, so it is call me Caitlin or else the rise of authoritarian transgender politics.
Exactly.
Just as I pointed out, the rise of authoritarian politics, gay marriage, state of Indiana, I said, if you want to know what Sharia law looks like, you're watching it.
Transpose itself on Indiana during all of that.
It's not that you will accept it.
You will accept it and you will love it.
You will accept it and you will support it.
You will accept it and you will not condemn it.
It is a demand that you accept all this stuff.
So one person driving a car in Pittsburgh can say she's offended.
And everybody, oh no, oh, oh, oh, we can't have that.
Where is this fear?
Who are they afraid of?
Where does it stem from?
I keep waiting.
I really do.
Issue after issue, example after example.
I keep waiting for somebody to stand up in a position of authority and tell somebody to go pound sand.
And it hasn't happened yet.
And welcome back, Open Line Friday.
Rush Limboy here behind the Golden EIB microphone at 800-282-2882.
Mrs. Clinton is out accusing the Republicans once again of plotting voter fraud.
And she is making this allegation in front of African American audiences.
And it's as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning.
And it's one of these things where you know it's coming, and yet there doesn't appear to be a strategy to deal with it.
Yet you know it's coming.
And in fact, if there's any voter fraud going on out there, it's being perpetrated by the Democrats.
And the reason for it is that the Democrats know.
I don't care what your perception is of the country's status right now.
A lot of people think that we've reached a tipping point and we've lost it, that the forces of evil or transformation or change have won and that we're in a constant state of cultural and political decline here.
I don't think we've reached it yet.
But I think social media and the way it's hyped and promoted is in part done in order to create the impression that we have entered a point of no return in terms of cultural transformation.
I think the left knows that they remain a minority, a numerical minority.
They remain a minority in terms of the way of thinking in this country.
And so they use all of the power that they have in their domination of media, both news media, Hollywood media, cultural pop media, to create images and impressions.
And, you know, all of this normalization of, say, transgenderism or homosexuality and gay marriage, all of it, we're talking about less than 2% of the population.
And yet we're being told here that's the new normal.
And you better accept it.
And not only you better accept it, you better love it.
You better support it.
If you don't, we're coming for you.
I mean, that's the impression.
And people are scared.
They have been cowed into believing 70% of the people is going to have been cowed into believing they actually are a minority.
And so when a bus driver in Pittsburgh raises hell about two words zig and zagging on the side of a bus, I'm offended.
It's a racial insult.
Everybody makes tracks to get rid of the two words.
The point here is that I don't believe that we've reached that tipping point.
I don't think, I mean, some people think that we're very close, and it's oftentimes a question of perception and reality, and sometimes perception is reality.
But it's just, it's a really problematic thing.
So here we come now with the Democrats alleging voter fraud.
But the bottom line is they're the ones that engage in it.
It's the only hope they've got.
Who is it standing in the way of voter ID?
It's the Democrat Party.
And why are they afraid of voter ID?
You have to have an ID for anything else you do in this country.
You can't get a hotel room.
You can't rent a car.
You can't buy a car.
You can't take everyday things in life that you must have a photo ID for.
And yet, when it comes to voting, that's going to lead to voter fraud.
A photo ID is going to lead to voter fraud.
And of course, Mrs. Clinton, the Democrats target this message at African Americans, perpetuating a 50-year myth that the majority of this country is racist and bigoted and aligned against them and wants to do everything they can to make sure they have no power whatsoever in the American political system.
When in fact, it's dead Democrats that vote over and over again.
It's people who registered.
Remember the phenomenon, all of the superheroes that somehow registered, Batman, Superman, these Mickey Mouse, these people all registered to vote and did vote.
They were found.
So Mrs. Clinton's out there warning everybody that the Republicans are planning voter fraud.
And right on schedule, everybody in the media is talking about it exactly as Mrs. Clinton presents it.
So in this instance, yet again, the Republicans are on the defensive, answering a charge.
Some of them are doing a fairly good job at it, but still it remains a defensive posture, no offense.
Once again, the allegation, the Republic, if you're going to try to reestablish new norms, as I've been saying, at the same time, you have to establish the new weirdos, the new uncool, the new unhip, the new squares, I mean, whatever oddballs, kooks, whatever term you want to use.
And it's all of these disparate Democrat minorities, so small you need a microscope to see them.
They're the new normal.
Yeah, they're the new hip.
They're the new what's happening now.
They are the new cutting edge.
And all of you people that comprise 70% of the population, you're the new oddballs.
You're the new old-fashioned kooks and idiots and uncool people that maybe laughs at and makes fun of.
And social media, in part, is used to create that image or impression is one of the best things that the left can do in their mind is to make you defensive and dispirited, to have you just give up, to have you think you've lost, and that nobody's championing you and nobody's standing up and nobody's defending what you believe in.
When somebody does try to stand up and defend, look what happens to them.
The left targets them and tries to destroy them.
So we're living in a bunch of false images.
We're living with a bunch of false impressions that people think are real.
Social media is a big part of that.
And yet, if you strip away all this and get down to the truth, you find that the Democrats, everywhere they are, that things are going to hell in a handbasket.
Pick your city, the Democrats run.
Pick your economy that Democrats run.
This one.
I mean, it's patently obvious.
So they've got to do everything they can to cover that up and then shift the blame.
And one of the most favored practices that they use is accusing their opposition of the things they actually do.
It's a phenomenon, actually.
And I've got some audio soundbites coming up on this.
Just one more thing before we get to them.
You see the unemployment numbers?
Unemployment number went up from 5.4 to 5.5%.
And CNN says, yep, yep, it went up for all the right reasons.
The unemployment rate went up for all the right reasons.
The unemployment rate going up is great news, CNN says.
You'll hear it coming up.
I just want to address one more thing.
And look, folks, Friday is designed to be all across, all over the place, all over the board.
Friday is designed to be loosey-goosey, go with the flow.
And I have to tell you, we've had a couple people, they were drive-by callers earlier this week after I told the story of Les Moonvis only having a wad of $100 bills to pay the valet who got his car at a fashionable Bel Air California restaurant.
And it turns out the valet said, it's okay, man.
It's okay.
I know you're not going to give me $100 bill.
You're Les Moonvis.
So that's okay, man.
And Moonvest said, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll catch you the next time.
Which, you know, I've been there.
I've been in the same circumstances, Les Moonvest, although I've never been embarrassed by it.
I've just gone ahead and tipped the valet before and after.
Well, this generated a couple of phone calls and people who claimed that I was being out of touch.
Demonstrating how out of touch I was, that I could just toss around a $100 bill on a tip means I've lost touch with what life in America is like for most people.
And the second caller said, not only had I lost touch, I was bragging about it, which, of course, is a very offensive human behavioral characteristic.
And I'd been bragging, unless, I mean, it isn't bragging if you can do it.
But I agree with it.
Condescension, arrogance, bragging, especially on the part of people that are not good at something.
Yeah, I agree.
But that's not me.
But I will agree with you on one thing.
And that is, in certain areas, I am, I mean, I would even happily admit, woefully out of touch.
And I'm going to give you an example.
Until last week, I had never heard of the Duggars.
Is that how you pronounce it?
And until the Octomom made news, I had never heard of the Octomom.
And I had never heard of Casey Anthony until the trial.
And I had never heard of all of it.
If you're in a reality show, I don't know you.
If you do anything in a reality show other than the Duck Dynasty guys, and that's not because I watched it, it's because it made news.
I'd never heard of the Duggars.
Still don't know what network the Duggars were on.
I still don't know why.
TLC, the Tender Loving Care Network.
Oh, it's the Learning Channel.
The Learning.
And it's a family with 19 kids.
Is that what it is?
Or 19 people in it?
19 kids, say mom and dad.
Are they all, are any of them adopted?
You mean they all came from a womb?
I mean, her womb.
They all came from the same womb.
19 of them.
And how old is she?
I know.
I just saw a picture.
She's 40.
I'll tell you, the learning, let me tell you something.
The learning channel is not learning anybody about birth control.
It's obvious.
Only one baby daddy here?
Just one baby.
So you got one baby dadder, Mr. Duggar, and Mom Dugger had 19 Duggars.
And then one of the Duggars decided to touch the breast of one of his sisters while she slept one night.
Right?
Well, that's what I've been able to.
My point is, if you want to accuse me of being out of touch, I'm going to tell you right, I'd never heard of them until this story broke, till last week.
I don't know any reality show.
Well, there's a bunch of others out there that I've since heard about that I don't know.
Now, if you want to say this makes me out of touch, I've never seen the Kardashian show.
I don't even know what network it's on, but I know that exists.
Now, I'm going to tell you there's some reality shows when they've made news.
I never heard of the people.
Like, I don't know, like the Octomom.
She's the first one who comes to me.
I had no idea the show was on until the Octomom made news.
And by the way, why is the Octomom big news anymore anyway if Mom Duggar had 19 of them?
Okay, look, on the Duggar business, I'm just trying to be open and upfront here.
I remember I used to have games and play games doing this stuff.
Early, early on in the history of the program, some, I have to call them friends, some let's say some associates, asked me to dinner at a fashionable New York dining establishment where they were well known.
And they had an air about them that was kind of abrasive to me.
And they were parading me around, as people are wont to do.
This is way, way back, early days of the program before I was really up to speed to understand what was happening.
I had a brief, I had just a hint of it here.
At the same time, there was a Matisse exhibit at one of the museums in Manhattan.
And my hosts, we were seated very prominent place that started talking about the Matisse exhibit.
So I said, what's Matisse?
And you could see they just got embarrassed.
They looked around to see if anybody had heard me.
Because they were well known in this place.
And I wasn't yet well known, but was becoming.
And they looked at me.
Okay, you know what Matisse is.
No, no.
What's Matisse?
Calm down.
Just calm down.
My host said, just calm down.
I was beginning to embarrass them here.
No, no, you know who Matisse is.
He said louder than he needed to, so anybody in the restaurant would, you know who Matisse is.
Stop joking.
No, I said even louder.
I do not.
What is a Matisse?
I never heard of it.
It's a famous French Impressionist.
Oh, well, okay.
I never heard of him.
I kept making the point.
Now, I'm not doing that here with the Duggars.
I really don't know who they are.
And so, but the reason I bring them up is because the Palins, Sarah and Bristol Palin, have come back and said, what is everybody going after the Duggars for and leaving Lena Dunham alone?
Lena Dunham wrote a book where she admitted having sexual relations experimentally with one of her sisters growing up over and over and over again.
And everybody applauds Lena Dunham.
And yet here we go going after this Duggar guy.
And where is the sense of proportion?
And I thought, man, the Palins even know who the Duggars are.
Of course, that would make sense because reality show people kind of hang together, right?
I don't know.
Should I be embarrassed not knowing who the Duggars?
Oh, really?
I should be?
Oh, I should.
Oh, man.
I never heard of them until this.
I didn't.
I had no idea who they were.
Well, frankly, I'm not, no, I can't, you can't miss them.
They're on Megan Kelly.
She had her highest ratings ever doing an expose on the Duggars.
And here I am.
I don't even know who they are.
And I frankly don't care.
I'm saying, maybe it's time to get out here.
Because, I mean, there's a whole area of pop culture out there I never heard of.
So I'm starting to ask myself, is it time?
You know, is it all in the rearview mirror here?
I mean, if you don't know who the Duggars are, and if you are in media, I mean, what does it say about you?
Well, it may say that I'm sane, but still, you know, I've told everybody, if you want to know what's going on in this country, come here.
You'll know what's going on before it matters.
And here I have to admit, I have no idea.
Before it matters.
Well, no, it doesn't matter, but it does.
To a lot of people, this stuff matters.
I can't believe how big a deal it is.
And it's bigger than the Denny Haster thing.
And Denny Haster just withdrew his own money.
Here's this CNN soundbite.
We'll get to the voter fraud and Hillary because we got a great soundbite from Sheila Jackson League.
Oh, yes.
But here's Christine Romans.
This is on CNN newsroom this morning with Carol Costello.
The combined IQ here, probably that of a pencil eraser.
And they're discussing the new unemployment numbers, and here's what there is to know.
The unemployment rate ticked up, and 5.5% is the unemployment rate now, but it ticked up, Carol, for all the right reasons.
It ticked up because 397,000 people in the month came into the labor market.
They hadn't been looking for a job in the months before that, and they decided that they were going to try their hand at it.
So that's why the unemployment rate ticked up for the right reasons.
If you want to go out there and start looking for a job, this is a good time to be looking for a job.
Wages are increasing.
We saw those in this number.
That's very important.
See, it's a great time to go looking for a job.
Why?
Because all kinds of new people are looking for a job, which means there's more competition to find a job.
And wages are supposedly going up.
So unemployment rate went up for all the right reasons.
Now, I know the point that she's trying to make here.
We've had some people who were on a beach now admitting that they're looking for jobs, so they get counted as unemployment.
But since they're now looking for jobs, rather than sitting home watching e-entertainment TV, that's good.
But it's just an illustration again.
Bad news turns into good news when it's about Democrats.
So we'll be back.
Open line Friday.
Okay, we got a full boat.
I'm curious to see just who we have on hold.
And in order to find that out, we've got to go to call soon in the next hour, which we will do.
Looking forward to it.
