RUSH: Lo and behold, I just pointed out if we pop our head into any school economics class, we would be shocked and saddened by what we hear. Cookie informs me that we have just such a teacher. Last night on Sergeant Schultz\u2019s show, on MSNBC, a woman that Obama introduced in his speech on the American Jobs Act in Mesquite, Texas. She\u2019s the laid-off teacher. Her name is Kim Russell. And Sergeant Schultz said to the laid-off teacher that was part of Obama\u2019s speech yesterday, “I gotta ask you, how do you feel about what\u2019s taken place in this country right now where there can be an investment in jobs and it doesn\u2019t appear to be happening?”<\/p>\n
RUSSELL: I\u2019m very disappointed —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop. Now, I\u2019m sorry. I parse words. I mean I\u2019m a wordologist. Words are my business, so I listen very carefully to the words other people use. Now, you might think I\u2019m nitpicking here, but she just said, “In general you teach your kids always to get the best education possible.” So in her class where kids are ostensibly getting the best education possible, that\u2019s what she\u2019s telling them? And remember, you gotta get the best education possible, while they\u2019re being educated, she says that. I wonder how many students say, “Yeah, and it ain\u2019t happening here.” Go back to the top of the bite, and I will not interrupt the rest of it. This is a woman, I don\u2019t know what she teaches. It doesn\u2019t say here what she teaches and maybe nobody knows. But she is a teacher.<\/p>\n
RUSSELL: I\u2019m very disappointed. Being a — a — a teacher just in general you teach your kids always to get the best education possible \u2019cause — because they can be who or whatever they want to be. Being a government and economics teacher, I teach them that America is one of the most thriving countries and — and, you know, and innovative countries in the world, and that every — you know, basically every other country wants to have basically the type of — of government, economic system we have. And then I have to turn around and say, but, you know what? At this point now we\u2019re at a — a — in a position where we\u2019ve never seen this type of thing before, where there are positions of police, nurses, teachers.<\/p>\n
RUSH: We\u2019ve never seen this type of thing before where there are positions of police, nurses, and teachers. I guess she means not working. So she teaches government and economics. Right. And she also teaches how important it is to go to get a good education. She said that. Teaches that. Teach your kids always to get the best education possible. Texas. Lives in Mesquite, Texas. Obama used her. She was one of the props on stage yesterday, an unemployed teacher. He brought her up on stage, (imitating Obama) “This is the kind of woman, my jobs bill, put her back to work, along with millions of other people, and if they cross a bridge on the way to work, that bridge ain\u2019t gonna fall down if you pass this bill now.” And of course the only reason that the bridges are gonna fall is because the Republicans want \u2019em to. That\u2019s right. The Republicans have probably snuck over to some of these bridges and put dynamite underneath \u2019em. That\u2019s the next thing that we\u2019re gonna hear. Make this woman senior staff. Take her on the next Moochelle vacation or have her go along with you on the next shopping trip to Target. Tutor the kids. There you go. Tutor the kids.<\/p>\n
John in his truck on I-40 in Arkansas. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. Hey listen, I just wanted to say that each truck out here spends, our company spends $4,500 a year on their units. Our company has 1,500 units. That\u2019s $6,750,000 a year that they pay to the federal government. Now, that\u2019s supposed to go to the government, they\u2019re supposed to divvy it to the states, states are supposed to divvy it to the county. So the infrastructure that\u2019s not getting done, I\u2019d just like to know where the money goes.<\/p>\n
