RUSH: President Bush is now making remarks thanking the House, praising the House for passing the bailout bill. One of the things the president said was that this is now going to enable the banks to start lending money again. Now, they tried this (I mentioned this to you) in Europe. They tried this. I mentioned this to you yesterday. They tried this in Europe earlier this week. Some banks said, ‘We need some liquidity,\u2019 so the central banking organization over there blew in $150 billion, and the banks did not lend it. They deposited it. They invested it. They\u2019re holding it for when times improve. I will be interested to see if indeed the banks start lending money after all of this. They keep calling it a $700 billion bailout bill. We know it\u2019s $850 billion because they added $150 billion in the Senate. <\/p>\n

Let me tell you why I\u2019m laughing. I shouldn\u2019t be, but I have to tell you why I\u2019m laughing. During the break at the top of the hour, we had Fox on in Snerdley\u2019s office and they have Pelosi, Barney Frank, Jim Clyburn, Steny Hoyer, and some other Democrat, and they just got the biggest smiles on their face, and there\u2019s not a Republican to be seen. She\u2019s taking questions from the press, and they\u2019ve got the bill in a big blue box, open to the signature page. They\u2019re passing it around. They\u2019re showing each other the passed, signed version of the bill, and they\u2019re just yucking it up like you can\u2019t believe. I\u2019m saying, ‘You know what?\u2019 We had the sound down. We couldn\u2019t hear what they were saying, but I know exactly what they were saying. <\/p>\n

‘We screwed \u2019em big time! October surprise, hello. We screwed \u2019em again,\u2019 meaning the Republicans, and there wasn\u2019t a Republican anywhere around. ‘We did it! We pulled it off, October Surprise.\u2019 They had the biggest smiles on their faces. I have never seen people smiling so much over the passage of a simple piece of legislation, and they were not smiling because of how tough this was. They were smiling because of what it is. They just got themselves totally exonerated from any culpability in this. No wonder Barney Frank is smiling. The only thing missing was Chris Dodd. They shoulda brought him over from the Senate and showed him the signed bill. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian in Freeland Park, Florida, it\u2019s nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, that\u2019s Fruitland Park, Florida.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is it, Fruitland?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, Fruitland Park, close to Lady Lake.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fruitland, Freeland, sorry.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No problem. Listen, this bill that just passed probably just buried me. I\u2019ve been working really, really hard. I\u2019ve got a medical condition I\u2019m trying to pay for. I\u2019m self-employed and I\u2019ve been robbing Peter to pay Paul, and originally what I was going to call you with was that my situation is when I did my loan three years ago, it was based off of a credit score through a lending guy, not the actual bank. All I needed was for the bank — and I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a lot of other people out there like me — to make an adjustment, not on the principal but rather the interest. To me, I don\u2019t understand why the banks don\u2019t do that. It would stop the foreclosures.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m having trouble. You lost me, because you said this is going to wipe you out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the bill will, yeah, because now the bank\u2019s going to look at me if I\u2019m 35 to 40 days behind like I\u2019ve been running for the last four or five months — always able to make it but make it late — now they\u2019re going to look at me and say, ‘Hey, we need to speed this process up and just get rid of him altogether.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, before anything goes into effect. Let\u2019s wait and see if that happens. I\u2019m going to have to find the date certain that this goes into effect. The president\u2019s gonna sign it, but I gotta find when it goes in effect to see if that\u2019s going to be a factor. Brian, thanks for the phone call. I appreciate it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
