Time Text
I know, I know.
I was sitting here late arriving show prep, folks.
Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
I am your highly trained broadcast specialist, Rush Limbaugh, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every damn time out.
It's on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And we have an hour to go on open line Friday.
We're wrapping up our week here high atop the uh magnificent EIB building in Midtown Manhattan.
We'll be back at uh EIB Southern Command as we commence next week's series of broadcasts.
Here's the telephone number if you'd like to join us, 800 282-2882, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
All right, uh some of the details of the Bin Laden tape, supposed bin Laden tape, have been uh have been released.
Now, this is a hoot.
In the first place, there is no specific threat to the United States in the tape, unless there's one in code.
But there's no there's no promise that we're gonna get hit again.
Uh there may be some code in there, but but nothing direct.
But it is amazing, folks.
It is a liberal rant.
He blames the U.S. for global warming.
He blames U.S. corporate interests for corrupting the political process because our politicians have to run out and raise so much money in order to run for president.
He excoriates the Democrats.
This is now I understand why some people were saying earlier that this tape could not be good for Democrats, because what what apparently he says on this tape is this this bin Laden look alike.
I'm sorry, I refuse to believe it's bin Laden.
Just me.
If I'm wrong, when we find out I'll be glad to admit it, don't have to do it very often, so I'm used to it.
But I'm gonna tell you this.
He excoriates the Democrats, he he he lets it known, uh lets it be known that he favors what they promise.
He said you Democrats won the election in November because the American people want this war in Iraq over.
But what have you done?
You have continued to authorize billions and billions of dollars for the war.
You are failing in your mission to the American people.
Uh go on and on with things like this.
They're blaming the United States for uh for global warming and stealing the world's resources.
We're basically the pri it is a liberal rant.
It's everything you would hear out of San Francisco.
It's what you would hear from a major major uh uh uh college campus from any, you know, take your pick of a professor.
Uh it's on the Senate floor.
I mean, it's it's anything you would hear out of the mouth of an average elected Democrat, and it's stunning.
And I I uh I I can't wait to get hold of the actual transcript of this thing.
Yeah, because I mean it's obviously in uh in uh in a language.
Damn it.
And uh that would be worthless to play that because we wouldn't understand it.
We're gonna get the transcript of this thing.
It may not happen until Monday.
Uh, but I was watching the drive-by's Jim Mikloshevsky on PMSNBC was uh going through the um brief during the break here at the top of the hour, he's going through a brief summary of the transcript.
He's focused on how this cannot help the Democrats.
It might not.
Well, what do you think?
Whose sake are they on anyway?
Why is this a surprise?
I mean, when that when they are when the Democrats in this country look good, they've invested in defeat.
They own defeat.
They've they've they've and they're cementing that investment today and yesterday, and they'll do so next week when the Petraeus report comes out.
How can anybody assume they're on anybody's side but bin Ladens?
Rush, you can't say it that way.
Why not?
You know, this this just is like back in the old Nicaragua days.
Let's review this.
You know, because I don't I don't care what intentions are, I care about end results.
So we've got a budding little Soviet client state down there in Nicaragua, run by Daniel Ortega, who, by the way, back in power down there, however, I don't know what shape his government's in after Hurricane Felix went in there.
But regardless, uh you remember the Contra wars, and Reagan was trying to do everything he could to get some money down there to the Contras, the so-called freedom fighters, the modern equivalent, our founding fathers try to defeat this Soviet beachhead being established.
And the Democrats in Congress voted down every funding effort, which is what led to the Iran Contra scandal and so forth.
But that's the the point.
Any attempt to fund these, the Democrats were constantly voting it down.
And then after a number of votes, Ortega would get on a plane and go to Soviet Union.
And he'd come back with a big aid package from the Soviet Union.
It would be, and he'd start bragging about it.
A Democrats in Congress, you can't embarrass us this way.
And they'd send people like George Miller from California, and Kerry went down there a couple times.
They scold the guy.
You can't do this.
And so people started saying, you know what, you guys are actually voting with the communists of Sandinista government down in Nicaragua.
You challenge our patriotism.
Well, sir, you may not be voting for him, but if you how what would be the difference if you were?
I mean, the result of your actions is you are supporting the establishment of a Soviet beachhead in Nicaragua.
By the way, they still speak glowingly of Castro.
They're not they're not threatened at all if bothered by Hugo Chavez.
So it's the same situation here with the Iraq situation.
They may cringe and they may react at allegations that they're on the side of the terrorists, but how are their votes and their statements to be interpreted any other way?
We certainly can't claim that they're on our side.
Not in not when the side that we're on is victory.
They are clearly not for victory.
They have no interest in it.
Total defeat.
So this this bin Laden tape makes it clear that he is on the Democrat side and he excoriates them for not doing what they were elected to do.
Now, I'm if I'm a Democrat and this tape comes out and I accept the fact that this is actually Bin Laden, which of course they will, and I got this guy who blew up 3,000 Americans and would like to do it as often as he could, sidling up to me, being critical because I'm not doing my job to do what he wants accomplished, which is us out of Iraq.
How would I feel?
Would I would I be the slightest embarrassed?
If I'm Jack Murphy, if I'm Dingy Harry, if I'm if I'm Nancy Pelosi, or any of the Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer.
Am I embarrassed at all that Osama Bin Laden is on my side.
I would think that I would be.
I I I just but I don't think they look at it, I don't think that is what gets through their thick skulls.
You know, they'll come out with the requisite there's a piece of the only difference between him and a bag of manure is a bag, whatever they're gonna say.
But to people paying attention, folks, there can be no mistaking it.
Osama bin Laden expects the Democrat Party of this country to do his bidding and excoriates them for failing in this latest tape of his.
We hate the USA.
Osama bin Laden and the Democrat Party with featured stars impersonated there by our old buddy Paul Shanklin, a well-known white comedian, as the drive-by's labeled him during the magic Negro crisis.
Before we go to the break, here is Jim Mikleshewski at the two o'clock break newsbreak here on PMS NBC, a partial report on the content of the alleged bin Laden tape.
Bin Laden, according to this transcript anyway, uh says that the vast majority of Americans want it stop.
Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning.
On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions of dollars for the war in Iraq.
Yeah, and he goes on to excoriating them.
Just like their own rabid supporters are at MoveOn.org and all these fringe kook websites.
Bin Laden probably posts there.
And you've got uh the the United States being blamed for global warming, the whole, the whole just obscene extreme left-wing agenda apparently comes out of this guy's mouth in this purported tape.
Hang on a minute here, folks.
Later we're having show prepper.
You won't believe this.
You will not, well, you will believe it because of where it comes from, but you won't believe.
I guess I must have the slowest printer in the world up here in this studio.
All right, here we go.
Judge acquits nude carpenter of indecency.
It is from San Francisco.
Well, actually, it's this it's in Oakland.
It's the Bay Area's San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, Percy Hanobal.
That would be H O N N I B A L L, Percy Hanobal, an Oakland carpenter with a fondness for working in the buff, was acquitted today of misdemeanor indecent exposure.
I I wanted to go to trial to prove a charge couldn't stick, that it was an overreaction, said the building contractor.
He's 51.
You don't expect all of a sudden to see somebody in a nude, but there was never a threat.
There was never anybody in danger.
Of course, of course there's not.
This is part of the culture in San Francisco.
In uh in 2005, Hannibal was working on a bookshelf project at a client's house in the Montclair district of Oakland when a neighbor spotted him carrying materials in the nude.
The neighbor happened to be a police officer in Berkeley.
So she reported him.
It's great to know the cops enforced the law out there.
He was engaged in an activity where he was not intending to draw attention.
He was simply doing his work.
He was not acting in a lewd manner.
Uh said his lawyer.
Hanneball had previously clashed with local law enforcement over public nakedness.
Berkeley had cited him three times since uh 2002.
Uh anyway, the lawyer says as he's learned his lesson, he's he's not going to continue to work naked, at least not where he'll be in a public area.
Apparently, this guy has a history of contractor.
A history of uh working naked.
Who who would who would hire this guy?
I mean, yeah, you walking around with construction equipment nude.
I mean, you gotta at least be wearing the safety glasses.
Uh why would you hire somebody to work around your house naked?
Uh with with with sharp tools and so forth.
Contractor tools and so forth.
Uh tell you what.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's yeah, the perpetual butt crack.
I mean, I have to wait for the guy's jeans to fall down when he bends over into the sink.
And uh this from Atlanta.
Authorities in Atlanta looking for the persons responsible for setting dogs on fire, including a six-week-old puppy.
Since the beginning of July, shelters have seen too many dogs coming in burned.
Pet rescue groups say that they believe it may be a new trend.
Thursday, six dogs were found burned, all in the same fashion.
They've had flammable liquid poured on them and then set a fire.
Officials suspect could be a gang initiation because the burned dogs are coming from a wide area.
They don't think it's the act of just one person.
I don't understand how this even made news.
This is just a cultural thing.
Um, look, that's what we've been told.
We we've got to learn to accept these things that we're told these cultural things, setting dogs on fire to get initiated into a gang.
No big deal.
David in Forest Park, Georgia.
Welcome.
Uh, you're back with us.
Open line Friday continues.
Hello.
Hello.
Georgia Conservative, life itself on loan from God megadidto.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Um something, I heard something in the Republican debate the other night that actually brought a tear to my eye.
What was that?
In response to Ron Paul's rant about how we would the Republicans would lose votes if we didn't get out of Iraq immediately.
Uh Mike Huckamy said something along the lines of uh even if we lose elections, we should not lose our honor, and that is more important than the Republican Party.
And that brought a tear to your eye.
Absolutely.
I I think it's about time that we have politicians who put more emphasis on wanting to do the right thing and telling people honestly what they intend to do that they believe is the right thing from the conservative perspective than saying anything to get elected.
Well, no question about it.
That's the age old lament uh about politics.
And that's why the people, you know, people you're talking about who have uh done that, been able to pull it off in an authentic way because they are authentic, have genuinely won elections in large landslides.
Ronald uh Reagan comes to mind.
Uh FDR had that ability.
Uh Nixon uh came off as authentic when he ran in 1968.
Uh I'll never forget that was his comeback tour, and I'll never forget some of the town meetings that he was doing.
He came off as really, really authentic.
Uh and that's that's interesting.
You know, Huckabee is uh when these things all started, everybody said, Russ, sure you force.
I don't know, it's too soon.
You never know.
Anybody can spring out of this thing in a surprise.
Now Huckabee hasn't moved into top tier yet, but I think that uh he's attracting a lot of attention that nobody expected to go his way.
Uh and we'll see where he goes from here.
But I've had a lot of people respond positively about Huckabee in the last two debates.
Uh so it's it's interesting that you call and make that observation.
I appreciate it.
Jupiter, Florida, not far.
It's far enough, but not far from the EIB Southern Command.
This is Mark.
Great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Roshmega cigar smoking dittoes from the best shop in Florida.
Thank you, sir.
What's that?
Um I have a uh point I want to make about most of your show today and and these Democrats in the Paul Shanklin song about uh how these uh modern liberals really do hate America.
But can I relate a real quick story about the greatest generation and this point?
Uh I got a about the Greek.
Yeah, the greatest generation, yes.
Okay, uh my first manager in the insurance business twenty-five years ago was a bombardier in a B-24, and he flew fifty-three missions.
Um he once told me over lunch when I was a young guy that he despised the Democrats.
He'd been a lifelong Republican, and he despised them because they would always put party in power above even the interests of the United States.
And at the time I thought that was way, way over the top.
Uh but having watched it now uh all these past years and decades, and uh and particularly uh through this war and listening to the remarks of Baghdad Jim McDermott and uh uh who went to Schumer with Chuck Schumer.
Chuck Schumer at Al, the whole Pelosi bunch.
Uh I I'm convinced that he's absolutely right.
They they really do hate America.
I mean, I I reminded your um screener uh and and anybody I talked to on this subject that the reason you call him Baghdad Jim is because he traveled to Baghdad with David Banyer right before the war broke out when we were debating it uh whether to go to war, and basically said on international TV on CNN that you know he had met with Saddam and that he trusted them and he thought he was basically a decent guy uh and made the case why the American people should not believe their president George Bush.
Right.
We remember we remember all that.
Look, I've got to take a break.
This is I'm gonna hold you over uh so you can get to the point that you originally called about, but I gotta take a brief time out now.
So don't go away.
I know.
Uh half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
We go back to Jupiter, Florida, and uh and Mark.
Um what was it you actually called about?
Well, that was that was my main point is that what you you're calling it right, and it's not over the top.
That what these guys are doing these days is treason pure and simple, and the greatest generation had Jim McDermott and David Bunye done that in December of 41, gone over to Europe and you know proclaimed that we should listen to Hitler and ignore Roosevelt, uh they would have been strung up from a light pole when they got back to this country.
And we really you know, you're on the right track, and we need to start calling it what it is.
This is treason.
Uh they're undermining our our military, they're undermining all of our efforts, and it has very, very real implications for the safety and the future of this country.
And and it's uh No question about it.
Absolutely right.
Okay, so the first point that you wanted to make was the the your your B-24 bomber pilot boss.
That's that was I thought you were gonna talk about Obama.
Uh uh Osama Osama.
Oh sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he he's from the greatest generation, I suppose, huh?
Well, he's uh he's he's he's clearly uh they're worried that PMS NBC just had Mik Lashewski on there again reviewing what bin Laden said, and now it's a rambling message in which he excoriates the Democrats.
But he's rambling.
Some places it's incoherent.
The only threat that he mentions is continuing to kill us in a rock.
But he he really blames Democrats for uh not following through on what they uh the uh says to the American people look, you want out of Iraq, and you elected a Democrats to do it, but they're not doing it.
I I just I I I sit there, I watch this stuff, and and I just I uh I I I really do wonder what must it be like for these Democrat leaders to hear these tapes come in with bin Laden and Zawahiri and have them be saying exactly what I'm saying.
I mean, if I'm a Democrat leader, if I'm Dick Durbin, if I'm Schumer.
And if a bin Laden tape comes in, am I proud?
Am I proud because bin Laden hates Bush and I hate Bush, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Still only 2007.
Already the candidates have been measured on practically every scale.
Now Gallup has borrowed one that it calls the feeling thermometer ratings scale.
Senator Barack Obama wins the race for warmth while Senator Hillary Clinton leaves many cold.
Gallup said today that it recently tested a public images of several of the Republican and Democrat candidates.
Of these, only one of them, the adorable Barack Obama stirs up warm feelings in the majority of Americans.
Clinton's image is the most polarized of this group.
Nearly as many Americans say she leaves them cold as they say feel warmly toward her.
That's not a surprise.
We need a poll for that.
There's one of these obvious studies like chimpanzees are smarter than two-year-old human beings.
the other way around, but I don't believe that survey.
Here's, now here, this is Associated Baptist Press.
This is a religious news organization.
Progressive Baptist women wary of Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
Many Christian conservatives have put her on the anyone but category that they'll vote for.
However, progressive Christians, who some think should be the seniors, the senator's natural allies, aren't jumping on her bandwagon.
What what what this is what is it?
Progressive Christian?
Liberal Christian?
Is that you mean there are liberal Christians?
Well, this is going to shock Hollywood.
Liberal Christians?
How can that be?
While Clinton might win some evangelical support if she can portray her faith as authentic, say political observers, she simply must win support from progressive and liberal Christians to have a chance of gaining the White House.
Now that's a fascinating assertion.
I've not heard that.
I've heard she's got to get the dumb women's vote and the smart women's vote.
Right now she has a dumb women's vote.
Barack's got smart women's vote.
She can't lose the black vote, smart or dumb.
Uh she needs the Hispanic vote.
She needs a union vote.
She needs teachers' vote.
But I've never heard she needs a liberal Christian vote.
So let's keep digging in this story, shall we?
Clinton's campaign is aggressively cultivating liberal Christians who are enjoying some time back in the spotlight after years in the religious rights shadow.
But so far such Christians' response to Senator Clinton has been tepid.
Even some Baptist feminists are saying they have yet to warm up to Baptist feminists.
What?
Is there such a thing?
Well, obviously there must because the I think one wrote the story, Hannah Illiot.
Well, it's uh moving here.
Many progressive Christians are attracted to Obama, who has a more liberal voting record than Clinton.
According to the National Journal, he earned a rating of 86, 100 being perfect.
In a 2006 tally, Mrs. Clinton earned a rating of 70.2.
Others say that Clinton's perceived aloofness is the main reason why more women haven't jumped to endorse her.
The perception of Clinton as an overly scripted candidate doesn't set well with evangelicals.
Hillary is too polished, she's very cool, there's just something about her that people don't like, said uh uh Garrison, uh, some guy named Garrison writes books.
Uh former Texas Governor Ann Richards said it's because she's a strong woman, but but I don't know why.
Uh A. G., on the other hand, somebody listened to the story here, said Clinton's manner is not the primary issue in her lack of enthusiasm for the senator.
Get this quote.
I'm not curling up with you at night, and I don't need a best friend in Washington, A. G. said.
I need somebody that I feel comfortable with around the nukes and around my womb.
So this this liberal Christian is saying, Hillary, stop this business of being my friend, and uh I'm not gonna curl up with you at night at your website.
I need somebody to feel comfortable with around the nukes and around my womb, and I don't necessarily feel comfortable with you around either.
So these polls about uh Hillary and her unlikability or uh their numbers in the unlikability are I think pretty uh pretty accurate because the uh the sentiment's been there and understood by people long before the poll came out.
Move on.org uh is asking its members whether it should support primary challengers of anti-war Democrats whom the group says have not been sufficiently forceful in their uh opposition to current Iraq policy.
Move on.org said a Democrat majority has failed.
Move on on some issues, usually because too many of them are afraid to fight.
Well, here we go.
Move on.org echoing the Osama bin Laden tape.
And so move on.org is going to target, they're talking about targeting Democrat incumbents who aren't doing enough to advance the Democrat agenda.
Uh I hope they do.
They'll probably campaign better against them than we do.
Uh Mark and Cleveland, welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you.
Uh I wanted to ask or go back to um the complete statement made by Tehran Chuck.
Because in the complete version, he goes on to say that Maliki seems to be reveling in his own incompetence.
And it strikes me that not only is uh Senator Schumer uh slagging off our military, but he's also swagging off the Iraqis for refusing to embrace federalism.
Well, they've been doing that.
They've been they've been they've been they've been ragging on Maliki for uh months.
Ever since the surge started working, they've been focusing on the lack of political progress.
Now this guy's uh uh has them at the benchmarks.
Uh you know, it's been a it's been laughable.
But what is your your point is that their their criticism is total.
It's not just the U.S. military, it's of every aspect of the enterprise.
Well, sure, he could have been he could have been slagging off our uh the our own revolution.
I mean, you have to have complete control of the country.
I mean, the the war is being won, one city and county and what have you at a time, and you can't have political cohesion until the whole thing is uh is won.
Exactly right.
That's the nature of fighting counterinsurgencies.
We went through this yesterday with an expert in fighting counterinsurgencies and war in Algeria in the uh uh what was it in the fifties?
Uh and that's exactly right.
You win it town by town, province by province, state by state, however you want to go, but you can't do it the whole country at one time because you have to have the population on your side, which is what's happening, which is what makes that original statement by Senator Schemer uh sophist.
It's just it's it's stupid, purely political and stupid.
And we got news we got that he was trying to walk back his comments yesterday, but I I didn't see him walking back any comments.
Uh we wouldn't have played them anyway, but I still didn't.
Dooba do ba do ba do do.
Hi, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh, this, the excellence in broadcasting network.
Look at this.
This is uh Cybercast News Service building a fence across the entire 1952-mile border of the U.S. and Mexico can be done with only two requirements needed, according to engineers.
All that takes time and money, said Brian Damkroger, senior manager for border security and exploratory systems at the New Mexico-based Sandia National Laboratories.
Yeah, it's a large-scale project, but it's not high tech.
You just have to have people to throw at it.
You'd also need the political will to do it, and that's exactly you know the idea that we can't build a fence, folks.
You know, I I'm very optimistic about this country, as you well know, but that doesn't mean there are things that don't trouble me.
And not just culturally, you all know what those are.
Can we go back to the 1930s?
In the 1930s, what was happening?
The Great Depression.
Look at what we built in the 1930s.
We built the Golden Gate Bridge.
We built the the uh the Bay Bridge, both in San Francisco.
We built the Hoover Dam.
The uh the Wall Street, no, the uh the Empire State Building came in early and under budget.
All this in a depression.
You know, we say we can't build a fence.
We're not building things.
We still have a hole down there at ground zero.
Coming up on six years Tuesday.
And you know why we got a hole down there?
Because nobody can figure out what To do.
We've got well, we I think they have now, but the they should have just put the damn things up a foot taller than the previous building.
Just rebuild them like they were.
And this time put some asbestos in them.
Can't do that.
Can't do that.
Can't put asbestos in no way.
Can't put things on a space shuttle to save the crew.
We gotta put things in a space shuttle to risk the crew's life to save freaking environment.
We had a bunch of groups down there that wanted a wanted a 9-11 memorial that basically chastised America for all these PC acts racism, sexism, introduction of syphilis, uh uh taking uh land away from the engines, uh environmental destruction, and they had some people down there that were gonna go along with this because you're gonna get a bunch of liberals running a town, you try to appease all these various interests rather than tell them to shut up and go to hell.
It's a 9-11 memorial.
Take your garbage someplace else.
We get we're not building things, and we gotta get hamstrung and tied up.
Are there gonna be any trans fats restaurants in the new towers?
We can't have that get all bogged down.
Are we gonna have smoking areas for the smokers?
And what are we gonna do about fires that all this garbage?
It just we just hamstringing ourselves a ways that totally unnecessary.
Bill in Jacksonville, Florida.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Megadethos.
Thank you.
Uh and long time listeners since the days of the lost furniture from Sacramento to New York.
Yeah, well, that would be day one.
Anyhow, uh kind of interesting thing about the uh Vin Lama Bin Laden comments is that uh if uh if the uh jihadists were doing so good, uh, how come he wants the Democrats to get us to pull out?
Um Yeah, I know.
There's all kinds of all kinds of contradictions in here.
Uh but that see, he doesn't you you're concluding out on his own.
He doesn't really say it.
What he what he says is that the American people elected Democrats to get us out, the Democrats are failing.
Right they got a snap too.
Uh and he the only threat that he makes is we're gonna keep killing you in a rock.
And our brothers are doing a great job.
Our brothers, brothers, he said will continue to do a uh uh a great job.
But that's exactly right.
If we're losing, why can't why kick us out of there?
Why not just cream us?
Why not leave us there as the sitting ducks that we are with no body armor and no up armored Humvees and all these other wacko idiotic things the liberals think.
If we're just sitting there, that's an excellent point out there, Bill Gregory in Philadelphia.
You're next.
Hello, sir.
Sir Limbaugh.
Hi.
Well, thank you very much.
I wanted a voice, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in Philadelphia in October, too.
Um I just wanted to voice my feelings about this whole anti-Western Europe thing.
I don't know European politics intimately, but I know a uh Italian politics very well.
And I can tell you that the uh the Italian right wing is alive and well despite the fact that they were able to bounce Berlusconi.
Um you have to keep in mind that we're fighting a cultural war all over the world as far as what we're gonna, you know, what we're trying to get accomplished.
And imagine my shrimp when I go to Italy and talk to my right wing friends in Italy, and they think that Nancy Pelosi speaks for America.
I mean, there's plenty of people in Europe, in Western Europe, that understand what we're doing, that support us, and frankly, Berlusconi would still be Prime Minister of Italy right now.
You are right.
Except for the fact that the Italian left managed to use Iraq as a leverage point against him, too.
I know, I understand.
I've I've uh I've maintained all along that the people of Western Europe uh are not nearly as opposed and fiddled with hatred and rage as has been reported.
I just refuse to believe it.
The leaders are another thing.
I'm I'm I'm I'm talking about uh places like Sweden and Norway, uh uh Germany, I think Germany's coming around, France obviously come around.
Uh but the the Labor Party in uh Great Britain is especially the UK is especially wussy.
Uh and uh, you know, some of the interior Western uh Spain uh, you know, they they they're they're I don't think they're openly being critical.
This is the point that you know that the that I made in that in that uh conversation we had with a caller that all of a sudden Western Europe is all of a sudden sidling back up.
There's a new Americanism because they need us because they are in the economic outs.
The European Union didn't work out the way they thought it was gonna work out economically.
Uh the Chinese, the ChICOMs are presenting all kinds of new threats to them.
Uh and uh and you just you You cannot have a nation that survives on the basis of its aristocracy.
It's elite liberal socialist aristocrats who sit up there with their little ascots on and sip tea from the little cups and start condemning everybody else who doesn't see the world in a civilized fashion as they do.
And that's uh uh that's who's been running the show in far too many of these Western uh uh, including the UK, uh was not even including Italy in all this, so I appreciate your calling and wanting to defend the motherland.
Back after this, stay with us.
