Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
The pulsating rhythm line, the baseline of this song starts hearts beating a little faster.
The mental anticipation of the next three hours ratchets up because it's time for me, L. Rushbaugh, to clean up the mess made over the weekend by the drive-by media, as well as comment on other things and talk about them with you.
Look forward to it.
Great to have you with us, folks.

Let's go to the audio sound bites.
I predicted this.
You know, I have been promoting.
I've been suggesting everybody go out and watch the Academy Award winner for foreign film, The Lives of Others.
By the way, have you done it?
Have you gone out?
Well Tisk Tisk Tisk.
So anyway, this is a movie about what it was like in East Germany under communist control in the 80s, all the way up to the Berlin Wall.
And we, when I watched this, and I urged everybody to watch it, go out and rent this movie because it is a it's it's flawless.
It's a perfect illustration, lifelike, of uh of governments that get so powerful that they powerfully control and monitor every aspect of citizens' lives.
And it was such a devastating portrayal of communism.
I said, How in the world did this win an epidemic award?
And I said to myself after asking the question, well, obviously, this is how liberals look at the Bush administration.
Has to be Let's Go to the Tape, Bill Moyer's Journal on Friday night on PBS.
Remember the lives of others, the movie that won this year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a story of life under East Germany's secret police.
The critic Roger Ebert said the movie is relevant today as our government ignores habeas corpus, practices secret torture, and asks for the right to wir tap and eavesdrop on its citizens.
Such tactics, he said, did not save East Germany.
They destroyed it by making it a country its most loyal citizens could no longer believe in.
What a crack!
What to say it couldn't happen here, but we've been close before.
During the Cold War with the Soviet Union and then the hot war in Vietnam, a secret government mushroomed in this country.
I told you I knew it.
Ebert and Moyers think that that movie represents what's happening in the United States under the Bush administration.
It is hilarious, scary, but it is hilarious.
I love this line.
Uh they destroyed East Germany by making it a country its most loyal citizens could no longer believe.
They had no choice about believing in it or not.
They were trying to flee the place.
It's this is just it's mind-boggling.
This is what we are up against.
And I knew it.
I know these liberals better than they know themselves.
I know what they're gonna say before they say it.
You know, it's the old line.
I know them like every square inch of my glorious naked body.
Troubling news here, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Snerdley pointed this out to me, but I had seen it earlier.
Democratic presidential frontrunner, Mrs. Clinton, has dominated news coverage of the 2008 White House race, partly due to negative segments about her on conservative talk radio.
Uh, this, according to a news study released today.
Mrs. Clinton was the main subject of 17% of stories during the first five months of the year.
Uh that's almost twice as much coverage as the leading Republican candidate, Rudy Giuliani, uh, who had 9%.
The tone of coverage for the two during that period was about equal.
Roughly 37% of stories were negative, 27% were positive.
Conservative radio show hosts, such as El Rushbow have criticized Clinton for years.
From her days as the first lady in the 90s to New York Senator and now candidate for president, the review found that 86% of the Rush Limbaughs of the world comments and segments on Mrs. Clinton were negative.
My friends, this is not good enough.
We are not doing our job.
Only 86% are negative.
Who are making the 14% positive comments?
That's what I want to know.
Who among us, the Rush Limbaughs of the world?
We've got work to do Here, folks.
This needs to be up to 100% negative if we are said to be doing our job.
By the way, this uh survey was done uh by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard University's Schorenstein Center on the press politics and public policy.
That happens to be where Marvin Calb works.
So this was distressing to me.
Only 86% negative.
Of course, you know, I wonder how many positive stories NPR, the Liberals'official government radio network, has done on George W. Bush.
Could we have a study of that, you people at the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Schornstein Center for whoever at Harvard?
Just uh just a little uh tit for tat would be nice.
You see this headline, human race will split into two different species.
Get this.
This is from the uh the UK, the Daily Mail.
The human race will one day, and this again, this this story again, this illustrates my ability as a forward thinker and visionary.
The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent, ruling elite, and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.
One hundred thousand years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.
The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist uh theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 2000.
These humans will be between six feet and seven feet tall to live up to a hundred and twenty years.
Physical features will be driven by indicators of health, youth, and fertility that men and women have evolved to look for in potential mates.
Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices, and bigger penises.
Well, it says here, according to Curry in a report see Dawn's eyes.
Folks, oh I wish we had a camera.
Don, how about cryogenics?
You open to this now, freeze yourself to 3,000.
Uh women, women will have glossy hair, smooth, hairless skin, large eyes, and pert breasts.
Don, I think I'll cryogenically freeze myself right behind you.
Pert breasts, large eyes, smooth hairless skin, and uh glossy hair.
Racial differences will be a thing of the past, as uh interbreeding produces a single coffee-colored skin tone.
Medicine.
Well, we'll weaken our immune system.
We will begin to appear more childlike.
And then, of course, we haven't even gotten to the ugly, and what's going to happen to these goblin-like creatures, the ugly, but they're going to be shunned.
The elites will be the beautiful people, and the ugly will be sh the thing that this scientist misses, uh, humans have already split into two species, liberal stupidious and conservo erectus.
Now I can tell you this, and I I am not even a uh a scientist.
Members of the liberal stupidious subspecies are typically arrogant.
They are mentally challenged, frequently suffer from illusions of grandeur.
They try to get other species to do everything for them.
Uh through deception, they take that which does not belong to them in order to try to get others to like them by giving away some of what was taken.
Because members of this species are usually not self-sufficient.
This is the liberal stupidious species, it's already evolved.
Their continuing survival depends upon a host species, usually a member of Conservator erectus.
Uh, the typical conservator erectus.
That's us, folks.
Highly intelligent, very industrious.
Uh, unlike liberal stupidious, this species finds cooperative ways to include members of its own and even other species in productive activities, which help all individuals to evolve in positive ways.
Unfortunately, though, conservator erectus is often too busy being productive to notice that liberal stupidious is constantly devising new ways to fool conservative erectus into giving up some of what he has produced.
Still remains to be seen which of these two will become the dominant species.
But I can tell you that the conservator erectus species is the good looking bunch.
Just look at feminists.
Uh bunch is the ugly goblin-like.
This scientist says it's not going to happen for 100,000 years, but folks, we are living it now.

More news from across the pond.
British brains dominate the list of living geniuses.
And I did not make the list.
The list of 100 geniuses worldwide.
There are more British people on it.
First I get shunned in the Nobel P- Oh, I've got to tell you this.
I saw this over the weekend.
There was a cartoon, an editorial cartoon.
This is about two weeks ago.
Now, whenever it was the Saturday after the Nobel Peace Prize was announced at Al Gore won.
And the editorial cartoon in the Honolulu advertiser was hilarious.
It it had a uh the drawing was of uh grapes, a bunch of grapes with my face drawn in there, and underneath it it said sour grapes.
And on the left side, it talked about how Gore won the Nobel Peace Tries of the left side of the grapes.
On the right side of the grapes, it had me railing against the Nobel Committee as a bunch of biased Swedes.
They're Norwegian.
I just oh, it's just so funny.
I just I I just love putting people on, and these people fell for this hook line and sinker.
They can never take my nomine away nomination away from me, so I lose that.
And now I'm not on this list of British geniuses.
And wait till you hear of some of the people who are.
Britain has more living geniuses per head of population than anywhere else in the world, according to a new survey which reveals the country's influence on science, technology, bidness, and the arts.
Almost a quarter of those featured in the list of 100 living geniuses are Britons.
Uh Osama bin Laden is on the list at number 43.
He shares that with Bill Gates of Microsoft and Mohammed Ali.
You want to hear some of the names on the list here?
George Soros, number three.
I guess I should tell you that number one that the top living genius is a tie.
Albert Hoffman is a chemist from Switzerland, and Tim Berners-Lee is a computer scientist in Britain.
Uh, Rupert Murdoch is number 20, Steven Spielberg number 26.
The artist formerly known and now currently once again known as Prince, is number 32.
Uh bin Laden 43, Bill Gates 43, Mohammed Ali 43.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, number 49.
Now, I have to be kind here.
I'm I'm I don't know what genius.
Stevie Wonder is also tied at number 49.
Henry Kissinger, number 49, Meryl Streep at number 49.
Paul McCartney, 58, Stephen King, the author at 58, David Bowie.
Uh, the musician at 67.
Hell, Dolly Parton makes this list, and I don't.
Dolly Parton is number 94.
How can this is this is as insulting as the annual 100 most influential people in America list at Time Magazine puts.
I've never made that, and how how can that not be the case if if not for um if not for bias?
Couple couple things here about the fires.
In uh California, this is from the New York Times uh a couple days ago.
Uh, as Californians sift through the cinders of this week's deadly wildfires is a growing consensus that the state's war against such disasters cannot be won.
California has lost one and a half million acres of the last four years.
Said Richard Minich, a professor of Earth Sciences, uh, who teaches fire ecology at the University of California at Riverside.
He said, When do we declare the policy of failure?
Hey, I did it last week, Doc.
When I suggested we pull the firefighters out of there, we can't win.
We can't beat the fire, it's too big.
We're risking the lives of our brave firefighters for nothing, because even if we do beat the fire this year, it's just going to come back next year.
Pull them out of there.
I've already suggested that we declare the current policy a failure, but not for the re not because we can't fight the fires.
It's because we've made them impossible to fight with stupid environmental wacko policies.
Fire management experts.
I'm not reading from this story, like Professor Minich, who has compared fire histories in San Diego County and Baja California in Mexico, say the message is clear.
Mexico has smaller fires that burn out naturally, regularly clearing out combustible underbrush, and causing relatively little destruction because the cycle is still natural.
California has giant fires because its longtime policies of fire suppression, in which the government has kept fires from their normal cycle, has created huge pockets of fuel that in other words, we have Mexicans doing the jobs Americans won't do, only this time in Mexico.
The Mexicans are clearing the underbrush and limiting the size of their fires and making it easier to fight them.
But we're not doing that here, and that's uh they're thinning the forests.
And I want to read a letter to the editor to you from a man in Sykeston, Missouri, letter to the editor of the Southeast Missouri in my hometown and hometown newspaper.
To the editor, California's burning.
The raging inferno has reminded some of hell.
Remember the platitude, the road to hell is paved with good intentions?
Well, news flash for you.
Wood and biomass burn.
The more fuel, the bigger the fire.
And big fires are more likely to burn out of control.
The weather's obviously a primary culprit, culprit.
However, the West Coast has been working toward this disaster for decades by de facto waging war on the timber industry.
The environmental extremist Luddites have done everything in their power to prevent any brush from being cleared or any tree from being harvested.
According to an October 25 news report, where even limited but sensible woodland management was permitted over the environmentalist objections, not a single home nor life was lost.
There really is a time to reap, even for trees.
If man doesn't harvest the timber, Mother Nature will, and she can be quite roofless.
Imagine trying to tell a farmer, I love this line.
Imagine trying to tell a farmer he cannot harvest his corn because some third party thinks it's pretty.
We can't harvest the truth to crop, a tree's a crop, we can't cut it down.
We can't harvest it because environmentalist wacko think that's pretty, Metherlinball, we must maintain the prethine nature of our planet.
Blah blah blah.
But as for those hundreds of thousands of acres of scorched earth, now go find a kangaroo rat or spotted owl on them.
You won't.
And that letter was written by Ed Masters of Sykeston, Missouri.
More on health care from the UK.
And this, you know, we've uh we've we've talked about how because of the National Health Service, a universal socialized medicine in the UK, there has developed a uh a gap, if you will, or there are two ways to do it.
You can stay in the socialized system and suffer, or if you're wealthy, uh you can go to a clinic that the private sector is uh is uh building, a number of them, and get personalized care for a steep price, uh but it's good care, and it's when you want it, and there are no lines, and you can avoid the socialized system.
Now something else has happened.
Record numbers of British people are traveling abroad for medical treatment to escape the NHS, the National Health Service.
Seventy thousand patients expected to fly out this year by the end of the decade.
Two hundred thousand health tourists will fly as far as Malaysia and South Africa for major surgery to avoid long waiting lists and the rising threat of superbugs.
This according to a uh new report.
Patients needing major heart surgery, hip operations, and cataracts are using the internet to book operations to be carried out thousands of miles away.
India is the uh the most popular destination for surgery, followed by Hungary.
Turkey, folks, do you realize how had bad it has to be.
Nothing against these other countries.
But if you live in Great Britain and you're willing to go to Hungary, Turkey, Germany, Malaysia, Poland, and Spain to get medical care.
Dozens more countries are attracting health tourists as well.
New research has shown that the growing NHS bureaucracy has left nurses with little time to see patients, most of them spending long periods dealing with paperwork.
Catherine Murphy of the Patients Association said the health tourism figures reflected shrinking public faith in the government's handling of the National Health Service.
Amen.
Headed our way, folks, if we aren't careful.
That's why we got to get that 86% critical figure of Hillary higher.
They got to get it up there on the basis of her health care scheme and plan.
That 86%, I have a goal, will be 100% by the next time the Schorenstein crowd and at Excellence Project and Journalism, what an oxymoron does their next survey.
That's exactly what we do, folks.
We make the complex understandable.
Something I specialize in here at the EIB network.
I guess Gerald Ford's got a new book out or coming out, and in the book, Gerald Ford wrote uh prior to his death that he thought Bill Clinton was a sex addict.
And uh needs to needed to get treatment out there, but uh but wouldn't do it, and thinks Hillary wears the pants in the family, and that Bill's just a sex addict.
And I, you know, this is not news.
I mean, there are a lot of people who've uh held that view, but uh that that's that's the kind of stuff that's selling books these days, uh and very titillating uh for what it's worth.
At any rate, I want to grab some calls of people have been patiently waiting here.
We're going to Colorado Springs and start with John.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
I just wanted to comment that uh years ago I read a series, science fiction books, and that's what it was about was how the race split in two one of them was nice, and the other one was hideous by a lady named Julian May.
Uh uh Julian Nay wrote it?
Yep, Julian May.
So what are you saying?
I mean, what what are you saying that this uh this uh scientist in Britain stole the idea?
Well, I'm saying maybe he's read too much science fiction and didn't get enough sleep.
Okay, well, I appreciate the call out there, John.
Thanks much.
Jim in Bloomington, Indiana.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
It's uh pleasure to speak with you.
Actually, I'm vacationing in sunny uh uh Fort Myers, Florida.
I'm down here enjoying the global warming uh for vacation.
And I as I was telling Snerdley, uh, you are an influential person, uh, whether other people agree with that or not, because whenever I plan a trip, I always go on and find out what station I can pick you up at on my way, and then once I get to the destination, what are my uh what are my different choices?
Uh, you know, because I don't want to lose you as I'm traveling, so I'm always trying to pick out what station uh I can pick you up at and where it is so I can continue my education in uh in your school.
Well, I appreciate that.
That's uh that's an admirable effort that you're making, and I understand it's well worth your while.
Well, you know, after all these years I've been listening to you, I just can't uh, you know, I can't go uh, especially a week uh without listening to you, so I made it a point years ago to, you know, to know what stations, to learn what stations carry your broadcast, so I can continue my education.
You know, one thing, Rush, we're gonna have to get you to Bloomington, Indiana.
You know, I I'm a conservative, and I'm surrounded by liberals, and uh, you know, it's evidently a place to be because the Dalai Lama was there last weekend.
Yeah, the Dalai Lama's been everywhere.
Dalai Lama was in the White House.
Uh every time I see the Dalai Lama, I say, cover the arms.
You know, I just I d we're not in the bedroom here, but I'm being unfair.
Uh but if the Dalai Lama's been in Bloomington, Indiana, Bloomington, it may not be big enough for me, to be honest with you.
I'll have to think about it.
I only go to big towns.
Uh I'm just kidding.
Just kidding, in a rare mood today.
Jim, thanks for the uh for the phone call.
I appreciate it.
Um story here from the French news agency, Democrats seek direction as 2008 polls loom.
I want to go back to this little study that we got out of Harvard and the uh the Center for the Project for Excellence in Journalism, and they say that conservative talk radio is critical of Mrs. Clinton, has been 86% of the time that she has discussed in the last five months.
Uh you know what I would like to see?
I don't need to see it, actually.
I don't need to see it.
How about the drive by media and all of the time they spend, not just the last five months, but the last six years on what do the Democrats have to do to get back in power?
What must the Democrats do?
What will the that never ever are stories of what Republicans must do to hold the White House, what Republicans must do to retake the majority in the House of Representatives and Senate.
No, no, no, no, no.
We are obsessed with what the media is obsessed with story after story after story of what do the Democrats have to do to win, and here's another one.
Almost a year on from snatching Congress and the Republicans.
U.S. Democrats say they're doing a tremendous job, but voters don't seem to be listening, riding a wave of anger.
Over the Iraq war, Democrats carved narrow majorities in the House and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But they have disappointed supporters who hope that they would halt the war.
Recently sparked a nasty foreign policy row with Turkey, and it found that Bush, though wounded, remains a ferocious adversary.
I'll say he's kicking their butt at each and every turn on issues of importance that matter to him and matter to them.
Democrats are also still short of the two-thirds House and Senate majorities needed to override presidential vetoes.
Repeated failures to force Bush to accept troop withdrawal timetables, changes to U.S. strategy, longer rest periods for American troops, appear to be overshadowing the rest of the Democrat agenda.
And there's a new CNN poll out there.
Spells bad news for Democrats, finding Congress is less popular than Bush, with an uh with an approval rating of only 22%.
Dingy Harry has his own woes.
His popularity ratings in his own state have tumbled just 32%.
I have a higher approval number in Nevada than Dingy Harry does.
So apparently what what's happening here, the Democrats once again, if you read the balance of the story, uh what you will conclude is that they're not getting their message out.
The drive-bys and the Democrats just don't believe that the Democrats are getting their message out.
Well, let me give you a hint or a helpful uh tip, uh, an idea for you Democrats who want to get your message out.
Just tell us what you really stand for.
They all this, this every we get these stories periodically.
Democrats can't get their message out.
Democrats seek direction.
As 2008 polls loom.
How many new directions in just the last six months have the Democrats needed to forge?
What what what kind you realize this new direction or any new direction is simply another way of the Democrats are what do we need to do to fool these people and get them to approve of us even because they can't tell us what they really think?
They can't do that.
Uh for one, uh, if they could articulate it, people would run away from the Democrats as if their hair was on fire.
Uh and and then there's this companion story.
This is from the Hill.
Internal Dem Memo, False Party Message.
Democrats are losing the battle for voters' hearts.
See, this is a second story.
This one is they're both from uh a Friday, October 26th.
Democrats are losing the battle for voters' hearts because the party's message lacks emotional appeal.
According to a widely circulated critique of House Democrat communication strategy.
Dave Helfert, a former appropriation spokesman, now works for Neil Ebercrumby of Hawaii, says our message sounds like an adult report on defense logistics.
Why are why are we defending the SCHIP program instead of advocating a healthy kids' plan?
Hilford sent the memo this week to an email list of all Democrat press secretaries and communications directors after staffers met on Monday to discuss rolling out the Democrats' latest message.
He said the meeting left him cold because it focused on what polling shows voters want rather than how to present persuasive messages.
Let's see.
We've had George Lackoff rhymes with.
Then we had somebody came in and took his place from uh Yale.
I this guy apparently didn't get the job done.
Now they're talking to a Stafford that works for Neil Abercrombie.
Um they still can't find a way to get their message.
You know, we talked about this last week.
This party is in deep, deep trouble.
They are not unified.
Stenny Hoyer, have you heard this?
Stenny Hoary, who's Nancy Pelosi's number one lieutenant, has said that they're going to go back to a four-day work week starting in two thousand eight so that members can spend more time with their families.
And remember when they took office earlier this year, we're gonna roll up the sleeves, or we're not gonna have this four-day work week like the Republicans say we're gonna get an air, we're gonna get it, we're gonna get out, and we're gonna make things happen here.
They haven't made anything happen.
Pelosi is uh is reeling from recent setbacks.
Dingy Harry, the the these two are the most ineffective leaders Democrats have had in either the House or Senate in my lifetime.
And I think Stenny Hoyer now announcing the four-day work week.
Where's Pelosi?
This is the kind of thing she ought to be announcing.
So I think deep in the bowels of the party, they've got all kinds of they have bent over backwards and forwards to please the Kook fringe.
And in doing so, they have marginalized themselves.
Why do you think they're so concerned with polls?
And when these drive-bys are doing these stories, you have to understand these stories are not accurate representations.
These are panic driven stories.
And the drive-bys are trying to help the Democrats come up with another new message, another way to fine-tune the message, because whatever they've been doing now isn't working.
And that's how to take this.
And this is a reason for people to be confident.
Uh one Democrat leadership aide said everybody's a message expert.
Fact of the matter is Democrats are working hard to communicate our accomplishments, which is a problem, folks.
It really is, because there aren't any minimum wage.
Anybody?
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
You know, this the this uh don't want to relive in the past because we at the EIB network are constantly moving forward, but um everywhere you know I'm starting to see letters to the editor all over the country from people who have written their local newspapers complaining about the lack of coverage in the drive-by media that dingy hairy smear letter episode got.
Uh we have uh intricate monitoring systems for letters to the editor and newspapers all over the country, folks, and it's stunning.
The number of people, uh number of letters to the editor chastising the drive-by.
There was one on Saturday in the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Uh uh, and the and the the woman that wrote the letter said, as a local resident, has just seen to it that through an act of the abusive power of Congress, four point one million dollars is going to a marine charity, and none of the media singles out this local resident.
Yet some local resident will donate, you know, spend nine hundred thousand dollars on a party to generate one hundred thousand dollars to the charity, or one million, of course the net is one hundred thousand to the cost of nine, and they get thousands of pages and pictures written of the beautiful people who attend these things.
This kind of thing's happening all over.
My point is that the the you know, you live in this in this drive-by media bubble where you don't see these kinds of things reported, not talking about the dingy hairy story, I'm talking about people's attitudes.
Uh, but this stuff that they've been engaging in, the betrayal stuff, all of the criticism of the military, the investment and defeat.
Don't think this stuff is not being noticed by a lot of people, and the key, the trick to understanding it here, is once again, last Friday, two more stories on what the Democrats have to do to refine their message.
And how about this business Democrats are losing the battle for voters' hearts because the party's message lacks emotional appeal?
The problem with the Democrats is that everything is emotional.
We cry over a tree that falls in the forest.
They cry over Greenland's melting, supposedly.
Every the real empathy and compassion and emotion that they should have for people gets washed out whenever it does exist because they're totally emotional.
And the reason they're not connecting with people is not because their message lacks emotional appeal, it's because it lacks honesty and it lacks credibility and it lacks believability.
And I've got to take a quick time out back after this.
Ha!
Welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh.
Hey Bulwark, tireless.
The EIB network.
Jim in St. Louis, nice to uh have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Well, Rush, it's an honor to speak with you.
Um real quick, I I wanted to tell you that I like the message That you give to people about how individuals need to get things done.
And and what I want to try and communicate is that the drive by media, which I agree with, everything right now in America is a mess.
The roads are a mess.
Healthcare's a mess.
The water's a mess, the climate's a mess.
I believe that people are trying to keep up.
They read the paper, they watch the news, but they're busy.
They got jobs, they got sick relatives.
They got you know so they're they're trying to keep up and they're frustrated.
Everything's a mess.
Somebody should do something.
It won't be me, I'm busy, or I don't want to, I don't want to take the chance of losing my money or my job.
So maybe the government should do something.
Because somebody should, because isn't everything a mess?
Well, the message that you give is that no, not everything is a mess.
And you also tell people that there are things that they can do to make it better.
The press does not tell anybody anything they can do to make it better.
No, they don't want it to get better.
They want it to get worse.
It's all about electing Democrats, and the theory is the worst things can be made to appear, the more unrest and upset that there will be amongst the people out there, and they will want to change.
The thing the Democrats and the drive-byers are overlooking is we're automatically going to get a change.
George W. Bush can't run.
His name's not going to be on the ballot.
So they're trying to make it out to be a party change, but they're not running against Republicans.
They're running against Bush.
And we're gonna get Bush we're gonna get change automatically.
The theory is Hillary represents new change.
That changes as much inside the beltway and establishment as anybody in this race can be.
Um I just I look it.
I do cringe.
I understand.
Believe me, my friends, I have compassion and understanding, and I know that there are challenges and ups and downs in life, and I know that there are some economic uh circumstances that are that are uh be uh presenting a true real hardship to uh a lot of people right now in terms of the housing situation, the mortgage situation and all that, the rising oil price, which by the way, do you know that most of the oil price going up is just because of speculation?
It's not really the it's not doesn't represent the real true price of the stuff coming out of the ground.
It's just the speculation market is uh is bidding the price up.
I mean it's a real price, but but um it's uh it costs real money, but it's it it it's the speculators are doing this.
All these all this news does tend to impact people in a negative way.
And the way it works is if you're doing really well in your life, you know, okay, stuff is not affecting me, I'm doing pretty good.
It must be bad for my neighbors.
It must be bad for everybody else out there.
Uh and the then you then you then you're on the way to slippery slope, you're having somebody do something about it.
Uh there's also a uh another personality characteristic or character trait that is somewhat related uh to uh what what's the word when you put things off?
That's right, procrastination.
It's kind of related to that.
Although it's not.
You people think that isn't gonna happen.
You watch the movie The Lives of Others, that's not gonna happen here.
Uh socialized medicine, that ain't gonna happen here.
You you think that those kinds of bad things aren't actually going to happen, and so when you have that attitude, you are not enlisting in the battle to prevent them from happening, and you're leaving it to others who may have the same attitude, and that provides an opening for those who do want these kinds of things to happen, and I'm telling you who those people are.
They are liberals and they are relentless and they do not stop.
Those are the kind of things that animate them.
Coming up with policies that expand the government, have more and more control over your life while you're out there focusing on your life and how to improve it economically, morally, any number, spiritually, any number of ways.
The liberals are plotting how they can take over your life.
And it animates them.
So these things can happen.
They're slowly creeping upon us even now in uh a whole bunch of areas, such as, well, we've been through this a number of times, I've got a limited amount of time here before I have to take a break here.
Uh but it's it's something that uh despite all this, uh there's no better place in the world to live.
The opportunity for prosperity and happiness is greater here than anywhere else In the world, despite all this, it's worth fighting for and holding on to, and teaching uh to others who these little skulls full of mush are being propagandized right before our very eyes in our little schools in the neighborhood.
That burns me up, by the way.
I just installed uh the new uh Apple OS 10 Leopard uh last night and this morning.
It's just amazing.
It really is.
And I haven't found any bugs.
I'm sure I'll find a couple things, but uh nothing like happened with uh the previous one.
It took a couple months to iron it out.
This just seems stable and great.
I can't wait to play with it after the program is over.
