Time Text
Hey, folks, Coco up at rushlimbaugh.com is going to link to that map I was just talking about.
I don't think you've seen it.
It's not a red-blue map.
It's not a county-by-county map at all.
I'm not even going to attempt to describe it.
Let you see it.
Give us about five minutes, maybe 10 at the outside.
Just keep clicking at rushlimbaugh.com and Coco make it prominent there at the top.
And we'll have a link to it and you can see the way this works out.
Donald Trump won 2,623 counties.
Hillary won 489 counties.
But it really is even more dramatic than that.
If you, this is just a mathematical exercise.
This is not a what-if.
If you take out New York City and L.A. County, because what they're trying to say to Hillary, well, Hillary won the popular vote, 3 million people.
And they're trying to make you think that because of that, the country is still a leftist-oriented country.
We're still getting rid of conservatism and the right wing, and Obama's agenda is still carrying the day.
And of course, it isn't.
It was defeated.
It was on the ballot.
The Obama agenda was on the ballot, and he put it there.
He campaigned on it.
He even went so far as to personalize it.
If you want my legacy to continue, then you'll vote for her.
He put it all out there and he made it, he made it sound like he has this deep connection with vote.
He doesn't have a connection.
Trump does.
Trump has a unique connection with his voters.
There aren't that many people personally invested in Obama.
The people invested in Obama are invested in an idea that it's about time white America took it on the chin.
That it's about time the people that founded this country found out what it's like to not be in the majority.
That's the kind of people Obama has a connection to.
But Trump's connection is personal.
It's rooted in personal desire, personal loyalty for him to succeed.
Obama doesn't have that, never did.
But don't try to tell Obama that.
Obama believes that he has the exact kind of connection with voters that Trump has.
And I'm telling you, there hadn't been anybody in a long time that Reagan did, but there hasn't been a president since then.
Clinton with certain Democrats, I think, you could say that Clinton had it with certain Democrats with a personal investment, live or die, no matter what Clinton did or said, they weren't going to abandon him.
Well, obviously, it's not the case here with Obama.
I mean, people abandoned the Obama agenda the first chance.
When they had a chance to vote without him on the ballot, they told us everything they think about the Obama agenda.
Him being on the ballot changed everything because of race.
So Obama's out there campaigning in all this, and it was repudiated.
His agenda was repudiated.
Obamacare, immigration, everything he stands for was repudiated in three different elections.
But yet they're out claiming, well, Hillary won the popular vote.
That means, it doesn't mean anything because the campaign was oriented toward the electoral college.
The campaign was oriented toward the way we elect presidents, the electoral college, not the popular vote.
The popular vote doesn't matter.
This is not a direct democracy.
We have a representative republic, and the popular vote doesn't matter, and it never has by design.
So all these are just exercises in mathematics.
Hillary winning the popular vote by 3,000 doesn't mean anything.
Obama's agenda was on the ballot and it was repudiated.
Then if you take it down even deeper, it's been said that if you take out New York and Los Angeles County, then Trump wins the popular vote by 2.8 million.
It's even better.
If you just take out New York City and Los Angeles County, just New York City, not New York State and California, but New York City and L.A. County, Trump wins by half a million votes.
Now, Trump didn't campaign in New York City, and Hillary didn't either.
And Trump didn't campaign in L.A. and nor the rest of California.
But in the county-by-county area, it's a smoke job.
Trump wins, again, what's the number?
2,633, 23 counties, and Hillary with 489.
You know how many counties independents won?
Zero.
Just like they always have.
Not one county.
Independents did not win one county.
The exception to that, 1992, when Perot won 15.
The independents don't win anything.
That's why I've always, the precious independents and the moderates and so forth.
So much bohunk out there.
Look, this was a clear repudiation of liberalism because that's what Obama is.
It was a clear repudiation.
People don't want any more of it.
The left can't come to grips with that.
And they're trying to hang on to this illusion that they're still the majority, the illusion that the American people still prefer their way of doing things.
None of it true.
Now, let's move on to this.
By the way, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh here at 800-282-2882.
We're here all week, folks, right up until the 23rd here.
And if Christmas Eve were Friday instead of Saturday, we'd be here on Christmas Eve.
Favorite time of year.
Love being on the radio this time of year.
People out and about moving around doing things on the go.
Hopefully with holiday cheer.
We try to contribute to that and add to it, make it even much more worthwhile.
Now, yesterday, we had a couple calls yesterday, the day before, and I've alluded to it myself without the calls, that Trump's big, big, big deal is a stimulus.
And it is.
He wants this infrastructure bill is something he's really serious about, folks.
You listen to him.
He brings it up every rally that he's had.
He's embarrassed of our airports.
He is, I mean, if you drive around New York, I swear, you know, you come into New York, you land at Newark, say, or Teterboro, and you cross the George Washington Bridge, and you take, you end up on the FDR, and you're going through Harlem by Yankee Stadium.
You're looking at all those roads and bridges, and you wonder, is it going to collapse when you drive over it?
I mean, it's rusted out.
It looks like it's in really, really bad shape.
And there's all kinds of examples of this all over the country.
Trump wants it fixed.
He's talking about a trillion-dollar stimulus bill.
And that immediately generates red flags because the last time we heard a stimulus bill talked about and passed, it was Obama's.
And it was touted as $787 billion.
But by the time it was all finished, it was near a trillion dollars.
And of course, no bridges were rebuilt.
And no roads were repaired other than those that were already in the pipeline to be.
And there certainly wasn't any additional modernization airports.
In other words, nothing that wasn't already in the pipeline from previous budgets for upgrade and repair was added to it.
Obama's stimulus was pure political.
It went to donors who then formed companies like Sylindra.
Obama paid back donors with his stimulus.
He funded industries that he wanted to advance at the expense of fossil fuels.
And he made sure that union workers, as many as possible, did not lose their jobs.
If you look at the allocation of Obama's stimulus, you'll find a shocking percentage of it went to union employees, including teachers.
But it didn't rebuild any roads.
It didn't rebuild, not any new roads, new bridges or airports.
Trump is serious about actually doing it, but a trillion dollars we don't have.
We do not have a trillion dollars.
We didn't have Obama's $787 billion.
And believe me, the people that elected Trump and the people that were four square behind Trump know full well we don't have the money.
And they believe Trump when he has said we don't have the money.
We haven't had the money.
We're $20 trillion in debt, $19, $20 trillion in debt.
We don't have any money.
And the people that voted for Trump believe that the days of mass addition to the national debt are over.
That's one of the attractive aspects of Trump.
Okay, so here's Trump now talking about a trillion-dollar stimulus.
And immediately there's all kinds of people getting really worried about this because this is right out of the Democrat Party playbook.
Government spending, federal spending on projects, paying back donors, funding the unions, all of the political expenditures, busting the deficit, busting the national debt, and nothing getting done.
That's the track record.
And in fact, here's another reason why people are scared.
Grab audio soundbite number four.
This is Chuck Yu Schumer.
Yesterday on Powerhouse Politics, ABC News, it's a podcast.
Jonathan Carl talking to him about the infrastructure bill.
And he asks Schumer, do you think you'll be working with Trump on this?
We think it should be large.
He's mentioned a trillion dollars.
I told him that sounded good to me, but I told him that, you know, you couldn't do the kind of infrastructure building we need in America with just tax breaks.
I said to do this in the way that at least we wanted to do it, he'd need to alienate a good number of his right-wing Republicans.
And he said he realized that.
We're not going to oppose something simply because it has the name Trump on it, but we will certainly not sacrifice our principles just to get something done.
All right.
So you add Trump stimulus, trillion dollars, rebuild Rosebridges, whatever.
Then you add to it, Chuck Schumer saying he's on board.
Oh, man, we can't wait.
Trillion dollars.
Sounds good to me.
Conservatives are shaking.
They're quivering.
They're frightened.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This is exactly what we were afraid of.
And then Schumer puts the cherry on top by saying that he told Trump the only way to do this is by alienating a good number of right-wing Republicans.
And Trump said he realized this.
So now you have some never-Trumpers.
You have some conservatives who are on the verge.
They're probably writing the pieces right now.
The CI Told You So pieces.
They can't wait to go on Fox News and say, I told you it was too good to be true.
Trump's just a New York City liberal.
Here he is in bed with Schumer.
And a trillion dollars sounds good to him.
And Trump admits he's going to alienate right-wingers.
Trump's not said that.
Schumer is saying it.
So what kind of stimulus is Trump thinking about?
Well, we turn to the Washington Post, and it actually is pretty close to some things I've already heard.
The Trump stimulus, and I'm going to go out of the limb here because I really think Trump has different ideas of doing things like this.
I think Trump tells the truth when he talks about our political leaders being stupid and doing things in dumb, stupid ways.
I think the people he's chosen for his cabinet are expressly, purposely for projects like this, people who know where to find money, investment money, federal money, state money, where to find it, and put it to use to actually improve things, build things, construct things.
And I don't think this is going to be your average, ordinary run-of-the-bill, run-of-the-bill political legislation with a giant authorization bill that is filled with news spending and tax breaks and incentives.
The same way it's always been done that nobody wants any more of.
And it never results in actual progress.
It never results in whatever the objective is actually happening.
Remember, part of Obama's stimulus was, who was it, John Deere was all of a sudden saved, not having to lay people off, or was it Caterpillar?
Caterpillar, never going to lay anybody off.
And Caterpillar kept laying people off even after Obama's stimulus.
The Trump stimulus, he has assured everybody's going to be revenue neutral.
But when people hear that, they smirk too.
Well, that's what everybody says, revenue neutral.
But it's never, Obama told us that Obamacare was going to be revenue neutral, and nothing's ever revenue.
So built-in opposition to that claim.
Trump's stimulus is not in one year.
He doesn't want a trillion dollars next year.
He wants it over 10 years.
So it's $100 billion a year.
And he does want to fund quite a bit of it with tax incentives, the kind of which we don't know yet.
He also wants the states to throw in some where these projects are, and he wants private money.
And everybody's private money.
How in the hell do you do that?
Why would anybody in the private sector throw money after a federal government project?
Well, it would be an investment.
Well, how?
What kind of investment?
How would they make any money on it?
Well, we'll have to wait and see.
But the Washington Post has a little bit more detail on how this is all going to happen.
And apparently, well, they say that the administration, the Trump administration, is going to have a task force rather than the existing bureaucracy.
And this task force might even bypass the cabinet departments that would normally be used on a project like this.
The Washington Post says that the Trump task force to manage his stimulus is not cabinet level.
Cabinet would play a critical role in coordinating among federal, state, and local officials as well as private investors as a new administration prepares to inject hundreds of billions of dollars into projects across the country.
Trump has promised to mobilize anywhere from half a trillion to a trillion dollars into upgrading the nation's aging roads, bridges, and transportation hubs, i.e.
airports and train stations.
Airports, the biggie.
But that plan might not rely on direct federal spending.
Hello, that's exactly what I've been saying for the past.
It will not rely on direct federal spending.
Wilbur Ross, who is in Trump's cabinet, a rich guy, which is all anybody knows about him.
He's a venture capitalist.
He's Trump's nominee to run the Commerce Department.
And a professor at the University of California, Irvine, Peter, by the name of Peter Navarro, have proposed an investment tax credit that they say would cost $137 billion and would stimulate a trillion dollars of private investment.
And they say furthermore that this plan would be revenue neutral.
And of course, the rest of the post story is this is not possible.
How in the world can you come up and turn $137 billion, no matter how you get it, into $1 trillion?
That kind of return on it.
That just doesn't happen.
And that's the exact kind of thinking that has put us into the circumstances we're in where nothing new ever gets done, takes years to get started.
There hasn't been any innovative thinking whatsoever.
We have the traditional find the money in the budget, create new money, print new money, whatever, take it from here, take it from there.
Nothing ever gets done.
This is a revolutionary new way of thinking about it.
Everybody's poo-pooing.
Like they poo-pooed every aspect of Trump's campaign because it was outside the box.
It was outside the establishment.
It didn't make sense.
No way it could work.
Just like no way Trump can win.
I have to take a break.
There's more to this.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Look, folks, I think banks are going to have a lot more to do with whatever Trump's doing here than the federal treasury.
I think that's where this is all headed.
But I'm getting way ahead of the game.
Let me share something with you.
CNN.
An hour ago, Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chow.
That's the wife, by the way, of Mitch McConnell.
Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Howe Chow hedges on massive new infrastructure injection.
Elaine Chow, she's already answering the questionnaire in preparation for confirmation hearings.
And she's making it clear she's not big on this kind of stimulus spending.
And she prepared to say that.
And you say, well, my God, why would Trump appoint it?
And if she's out there, she's out there saying that she doesn't necessarily agree and like the way Trump's going to do it.
Well, back to this task force that I mentioned to you.
One of the possible wrinkles in the entire Trump plan is that this task force, which I told you is not cabinet level, would assume part of the role traditionally played by the transportation secretary, especially when it comes to roads and bridges.
Trump's nominated Elaine Chow.
It sounds to me like what Trump is doing, he's got all these cabinet people, he's nominated them and so forth.
But when he's really going to get something done, he's going to have a task force outside of the normal cabinet channels.
Why wouldn't he when his cabinet secretary's appointees are already saying they don't like the way he's going about this?
They're not personalizing it.
I just, I still believe people grasp the newness here.
Look, I want to get back to the phones, but I'm searching for a way to explain this.
Let me try this.
Just in the, what, five hours ago, AP had a story on Trump's infrastructure bill.
Trump's commitment to infrastructure vow is being questioned.
And from the article, we glean the following.
It is not at all clear that President-elect Trump's plans to spend massively on infrastructure are going to unfold as he promised.
Lately, lobbyists have begun to fear that there won't be an infrastructure proposal at all, or at least not the grand plan they'd been led to expect.
Does anybody not see the fallacy in that?
Trump has exclusively, he has explicitly told anybody who's paying attention that lobbyists aren't going to have anything to do with what he does.
The very fact that there may not be a grand infrastructure proposal that everybody in the establishment's used to seeing is probably the secret to this.
And let's go back to Chuck U. Schumer.
Grand Body O'Soundbite number four.
I want to parse this a bit because this soundbite is designed to scare the heck out of all of you who supported Trump.
Here's what he said about the Trump stimulus.
We think it should be large.
He's mentioned a trillion dollars.
I told him that sounded good to me, but I told him that, you know, you couldn't do the kind of infrastructure building we need in America with just tax breaks.
I said to do this in the way that at least we wanted to do it, he'd need to alienate a good number of his right-wing Republicans, and he said he realized that.
Stop the taxes.
I said to Donald Trump, this Chuck Yu, I said to Trump, to do this in the way that we Democrats want to do it, which is not a factor, by the way.
The way the Democrats want to do it is not a factor.
Anyway, Schumer says, I said to Trump, the way we want to do it, he'd need to alienate a good number of his right-wing Republicans.
And he said he realized that.
That does not mean that Trump agreed that the way Schumer wants to do it is the way it's going to be done.
And it alienated, of course, Schuler wants to, Schumer wants to alienate Republicans, but Trump doesn't.
But this soundbite is designed to make it look like Schumer has already got an agreement with Trump to do it the way Schumer wants to do it, which would then alienate Republicans.
Yet the AP is out here saying that lobbyists can't even find the plan.
They don't even think there's going to be a traditional infrastructure proposal.
at least not the grand plan they had been led to expect.
What Schumer means is he's only going to help out if he can raise taxes, but I don't think, how can I explain this?
There's another, by the way, one other piece of analysis to this that you need to be aware of, because the point I'm trying to make is that everybody in Washington still cannot help themselves.
They're still plugging Trump into their system, and they haven't figured out that their system is what was defeated.
Trump is not going to try to plug himself into their system.
He doesn't like it.
He thinks it's dumb.
He thinks it's stupid.
So one of the added criticisms that establishment media and others are saying, you know, if Trump really does this, is he not even thinking about the pork barrel aspects of this?
For example, they say, if Trump really does a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, does he have no idea how many members of Congress and the Senate are going to be adding their little projects here to get their little portion of the pie?
And that failed for Obama.
You know, Obama said that we could give all kinds of investment money to clean energy like Cylindran, but how did that work out?
And so they're still plugging Trump into the system.
So Trump's deal won't work because the pork barrel people will go in there and destroy it, or because the lobbyists are not going to get what they want, or because Chuck Schumer isn't going to get what he wants.
Meanwhile, they're making the mistake of assuming that the way Trump is going to do this is the way it's always been done, which it isn't going to be the way Trump does it because that way never works.
One of the reasons we're in the mess we're in is that the people in the establishment, the political class, keep screwing these kind of projects up.
And the hubris, if you will, or the conceit that makes all these people think that Trump is no different than any other president, he's going to come up here and basically let us write the bill, and he's got to go by and associate with us and make sure we incorporate what he wants.
The key to this is these lobbyists in this AP story.
I'm sure AP thinks this story is very, very damaging to Trump.
What they don't understand, that this story really uncovers how Trump is going to do this.
Again, it's not at all clear that President-elect Trump's plans to spend massively on infrastructure are going to unfold, as he promised.
Lately, the lobbyists have begun to fear that there won't be an infrastructure proposal at all, or at least not the grand plan they've been led to expect.
To me, understanding Trump, understanding his campaign, taking a look at how Trump has succeeded in business and the people he's done it with, and the people he's put in his cabinet, the exact point is that there may not be a massive infrastructure proposal at all.
Maybe there isn't going to be some grand plan that can be carpet-bombed, cherry-picked, and nuked.
Maybe Trump is just going to get his cabinet guys like Wilbur Ross and some of these other brilliant, succeeding people and go out and make this happen.
Meanwhile, all these guys in Washington only know one way, and that's their way with legislation and the Federal Treasury and the itinerant pork barrel projects that you have to have because that's just the way we do things here, Mr. Limbaugh.
And we got to have the earmarks and we got to have the pork barrel projects.
And I just don't see how Trump can succeed.
And they've been saying that since July 16th of 2015.
And right in front of them is the news that Trump's going to have a task force and he may not even use his transportation secretary in this whole project.
Well, that won't compute.
What do you mean?
He's not going to use the transportation.
How can you modernize the airports and not involve the transportation?
What we're about to find freaking out.
Pardon my French folks, but what's so hard to understand about the fact that Trump's not one of these guys?
That Trump doesn't like the way these guys have been doing.
Well, apparently it is hard to figure out.
Maybe it's hard to admit or accept.
It's, Mr. Snerdly just said, you know, it's very hard to figure out.
It's very difficult to understand how you could spend that much money without going through Congress.
Hmm.
Well, some of it will go through Congress, obviously.
There's going to be some of it that's going to be federal money, but it's not all going to be federal money.
This is what everybody's missing.
I'm just, look, folks, I'm not wired.
I don't know anything.
I'm not meaning I haven't got any inside information.
I just pay attention.
I pay attention to who people are and what they say.
And some people, I believe it when they say it, and some people I don't.
Trump, I happen to believe what he says about when he's talking about success in business and succeeding.
I know how he's done it.
It's not always been ways that many people would approve of.
But you just, you, you, it won't be long to find this out.
But he's been leaving people in the dust since this whole thing began.
And I think intelligence guided by experience.
Why now are we going to all of a sudden start plugging Trump into the system that he just snookered and blew to smithereens and has criticized as ineffective and wasteful and never gets anything done?
Why would he plug himself into that?
Why would he set himself up for failure?
I just don't think he does that.
We'll see.
Let me grab another call quickly.
Medina, Ohio.
David, glad you waited.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
It's a real pleasure to get to talk to you.
My dad and I have been listening for a long time, and I actually met you in 1994 during a commercial break when I attended a taping of your TV show.
Oh, yeah.
And you signed, you signed my See I Told You So book, copy of C I Told You So, and you were like so gracious and shook my hand.
So I have to say that was like the funniest show, and I really missed it.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate you saying that.
A lot of people do, and I'm very appreciative.
Well, my question is, I noticed that when Tillerson was announced to be the Secretary of State and not Romney, that the Trump campaign announced that Romney's niece would become the chairman of the Republican Party.
And I wondered, do you think Romney has been neutralized by this?
And was it a coincidence?
Or do you think that maybe Romney should be appointed, say, ambassador to France, given his French background?
What do you think Romney's still a threat that Trump needs to send to outer Slobovia or something?
Well, I was just wondering what you think.
And I see that the Dallas paper says that Etson Tillerson brings the Trump and the Bush worlds together, too.
So maybe they have been neutralized too.
So what do you think?
I think you've got to ignore all of that.
Brings the Trump and the Trump and the Bush worlds together.
Rex Tillerson, just because George W. Bush thinks it's a good choice.
Let me tell you exactly what's going on here.
Mitt Romney, in his private moments, still despises Donald Trump as much as he ever have.
There's nothing's changed.
Everybody in Washington still despises Donald Trump as much as they ever have, Republican and Democrat, and they're just waiting.
And they're all mouthing platitudes.
What a great guy, what excited times these are, but they can't wait for the guy to fail.
They think it's inevitable because he doesn't know what he's doing.
They're the professional politicians.
They're the establishment types.
And he's not.
And he's going to embarrass himself.
They're still waiting for him to implode.
He was going to do that on the campaign, but it didn't happen.
But it's still going to happen.
And there are people who are positioning themselves even now, people you know and don't know, but they are positioning themselves to pick up the pieces when what they think is inevitable happens, when Trump implodes, when Trump crashes, when Trump bombs, when people abandon Trump, when Trump screws up, when Trump makes a bad mistake, whenever he doesn't accomplish anything, whenever he breaks a promise, whatever one of his big promises doesn't happen, they're waiting to, they don't like Trump.
Trump winning, if anything, has deepened the animosity.
It has not converted all these people to Trump friends and Trump fans.
Some of them are natural suck-up artists and sycophants, so they'll do whatever they can to get in close and get in tight because some of them, without Trump, have no future in the establishment or in government.
And so there will be people, not naming names here, who will attempt to make it look like they are now on board and full-fledged supporters.
But Trump winning, it doesn't, human nature is, oh, my, people that hated Trump despised Trump and they were legion.
I mean, in the political establishment, just because he wins, it doesn't mean all that's out the window and there's a newfound love and respect.
It's like when Reagan won.
He was deeply resented by the Republican establishment all eight years.
But the longer he was in office and the more successful he was, the greater benefit to them.
So they had to really bite their tongues.
The same thing will happen with Trump.
If he succeeds, they're going to continue to be silenced.
But the moment they think Trump is slipping, they're all going to pounce.
Whether he sends Romney to outer Slobovia or back to back to Boston, doesn't matter where Romney is.
There are airplanes.
You can get on a plane and pick up the pieces of a broken Trump administration from anywhere in the world inside of a half a day.
Another thing about these lobbyists, you know, Trump doesn't owe any of them anything.
Trump doesn't owe a single lobbyist.
He doesn't owe a single donor anything here, folks.
This has not been, well, there may be some donors, I don't know, but not like traditional politicians that put donors in cabinet positions, put donors in ambassadorships.
And Trump doesn't know, doesn't owe lobbyists anything.
It's no wonder lobbyists would be out complaining and whining.
Well, I don't even know that we're going to get a big bill.
I can't see where Trump even knows what he's doing.
Makes perfect sense.
The lobbyists are just part of that group of people that can't stand the guy.
Trump has gotten this, not having to reward hardly anybody.
He'd have to pay very many people back at all with any kind of patronage.
It's a big deal.
Here's, oh, that last caller took a sim-free gold iPhone 7 Plus.
He said that his carrier sucks and he wants to change and he doesn't know which one, so he took a sim-free unlocked iPhone 7 Plus gold.
We'll get that out.
I was long.
I didn't have a chance to ask him on the air, but Snerdley took care of it.
Who's next?
Where are we headed next?
We're going to Orlando.
This is Don.
Great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Rush, it's a great honor to thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
I've been listening to you, I mean, since the Challenger disaster, that's how long it's been, about 30 years.
Oh, man.
I know that's not the great anniversary, but listen, as a Cuban-American Latino, I was born here.
My parents immigrated here legally.
I was raised conservative, anti-Castro, you can imagine.
Recently, I have to tell you the reason why I called, I just had a lot of depression and hopelessness from the election, and the mainstream media just completely just got me to the point where I didn't even know what I was going to do, just complete hopelessness.
So I just went back to you.
I started listening to you, Rush, and I started following the Deutsch report, got off the mainstream media.
I was feeling like our country was lost and there was no way out.
You know, I just went back to you.
I just wanted to let you know you were the first, the first fighter.
You fought back against the mainstream media.
You gave me hope then, and I needed it.
Thank you.
I needed it.
I busted up their monopoly is what we did.
