[](https://www.addtoany.com/share) ***![](https://www.citywatchla.com/images/stories/Jan-2014/CW12060J.png)LEANING RIGHT***-For the last 5 years we have been bombarded with the dire statistics of the country’s economic conditions. We have read about the numbers of Americans living in poverty, we have read about the numbers on food stamps, we have read about the numbers going hungry every day, we also learned of the administration ignoring the abundance of oil here in the states – more than all other oil in the world. We recently got hit with one of the most stunning statistics of all. We now have 92 millions not working. These are able bodied and skilled people. According to everybody’s math this equates to a lot more than 7%. Of the paltry few that were added to the work force in December half were part time, meaning they are less than 30 hours because of another White House farce – Obamacare. The labor force participation rate continues to shrink, 92 million not working, 74,000 jobs created, which is actually the biggest month of the year, versus the expectation of 200,000 expected new jobs, and half of these are part time. The only visible action of the current administration is to extend unemployment benefits yet another three months. Help is on the way. KEIB Radio Station is arming and on 20 January will start filling the air waves with the most talented broadcasters in the country who pull no punches. **KEIB** (1150 [AM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_broadcasting "AM broadcasting")) is a [radio station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_station "Radio station") licensed to [Los Angeles, California](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles,_California "Los Angeles, California"), and serving [Greater Los Angeles](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles_Area "Greater Los Angeles Area"). Owned by [Clear Channel Communications](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Channel_Communications "Clear Channel Communications") and licensed to its Citicasters Licenses, the station brands itself as The Patriot, and currently broadcasts a [conservative talk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_talk "Conservative talk") format. The station's studios are located in [Burbank](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burbank,_California "Burbank, California") and its transmitter is located in the [City of Industry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry,_California "Industry, California"). KEIB itself evolved over the years beginning in 1927 and has undergone various changes in the call sign. Its DJs have included Jack Nemo, Charlie Tuna, Dick Whittinghill, Gary Owens, and Johnny Magnus. Many long time Angelenos will recognize these DJs. The weekday schedule on "The Patriot" features the nationally-syndicated The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson (3-6AM), *[The Glenn Beck Program](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck_Radio_Program "Glenn Beck Radio Program")* (6-9AM), *[The Rush Limbaugh Show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rush_Limbaugh_Show "The Rush Limbaugh Show")* (9AM-12PM), and *[The Sean Hannity Show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sean_Hannity_Show "The Sean Hannity Show")* (12-3PM), *[Carlos Amezcua](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Amezcua "Carlos Amezcua")* (3-6PM), and *[Clark Howard](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Howard "Clark Howard")* (6-10PM). Weekends feature former [KNBC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNBC "KNBC") newsman and [KFI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFI "KFI") news reader David Cruz hosting a two-hour program that deals with local issues. These guys are all heavy hitters and are sick and tired of 92 million Americans being unemployed in the greatest country the world has ever seen. ***The Glenn Beck Radio Program*** is an [American](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_in_the_United_States "Radio in the United States") [talk radio show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_radio "Talk radio") hosted by [pundit](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pundit "Pundit") [Glenn Beck](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck "Glenn Beck") on [Premiere Radio Networks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiere_Radio_Networks "Premiere Radio Networks"). Since its inception as a [nationally syndicated](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_syndication "Radio syndication") show in [2002](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_in_radio "2002 in radio"), the program has become one of the [highest rated radio programs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-listened-to_radio_programs "List of most-listened-to radio programs"). Furthermore, it led to [a television show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck_(TV_program) "Glenn Beck (TV program)") on [Fox News Channel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel "Fox News Channel"), six New York Times-best selling books (five of which debuted at #1), a magazine, and a stage tour. In 2009, many editorials, such as those on *[The Huffington Post](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Huffington_Post "The Huffington Post")* singled out Glenn Beck's radio and television programs for raising issues which led to the resignation of Obama advisor [Van Jones](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Jones "Van Jones"). ***The Sean Hannity Show*** is a [talk radio show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_radio "Talk radio") hosted by [Sean Hannity](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Hannity "Sean Hannity") on [Cumulus Media Networks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulus_Media_Networks "Cumulus Media Networks") (formerly ABC Radio Networks) and [Premiere Radio Networks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiere_Radio_Networks "Premiere Radio Networks"). The program is broadcast live every weekday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. [ET](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone "Eastern Time Zone"). The primary focus is the politics of the day, with regular interviews of [liberal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_liberalism "American liberalism") commentators, such as [Leslie Marshall](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Marshall "Leslie Marshall") and [Bob Beckel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Beckel "Bob Beckel"), as well as noted [conservatives](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States "Conservatism in the United States"). *The Sean Hannity Show* is the second [most-listened to commercial radio show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-listened-to_radio_programs "List of most-listened-to radio programs") with millions of listeners, behind only [The Rush Limbaugh Show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rush_Limbaugh_Show "The Rush Limbaugh Show"). A new poll shows that ***Rush Limbaugh*** is one of the people Americans admire most. Rush Limbaugh is the ninth most admired person in the United States! That is, at least according to a new poll released this week. But if you are like me, I’m sure you have the same question: Why isn’t Rush higher up on the list? For example, the poll has the Dalai Lama coming in at number seven, two spots ahead of Rush. But, honestly, what has the Dalai Lama really accomplished? He just walks around in a robe and talks about peace. Rush, on the other hand, has 20 million listeners and is responsible for coming up with new content five days a week on his radio show. As an aside, when all these changes were taking place I couldn’t figure out what was going on. John Phillips replaced Hannity’s time slot on KABC. In reflecting, now I am glad because Phillips is right up there with Hannity’s talent plus he presents a Los Angeles perspective. *****(Kay Martin is an author and a CityWatch contributor.
