Time Text
Hang on a minute, folks.
Late arriving show probably right with you.
Just listen to music for a minute here.
Okay, ready to go.
We are greetings.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution here on the EIB network, 800-282-2882, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Let's go back to audio soundbite number four.
I have to admit to being caught off guard on this.
I listened to Joe Klein here on the Charlie Rose show last night.
Uh quote, Obama is saying, we are the ones we've been waiting for, and I have not heard Obama say that.
Uh but I haven't spent a whole lot of time watching and listening to Obama press conference or appearance.
I've seen him on debates so forth, but when he's uh doing a campaign rally, I you know, when the people start fainting, it's when I change channels.
So let's let's listen to Soundbite again.
The question uh to Joe Klein from Charlie Rose is what what is Obama's patriotism problem?
Not what's reality, but what's the perception about patriotism for Obama to deal with?
One of the greatest problems he has is one of his greatest strains.
He has a very highfalutin way of talking.
When he says, you know, if you're a typical uh, you know, working class American and working two jobs, trying to get your kids through college, you come home from your second job banging the cash register at 11 o'clock at night, you turn on the TV, and there's this guy saying, We are the ones we've been waiting for.
You say, huh?
What's that about?
And I think that he has made some adjustments to talk about the meat and potatoes things that people care about, but something like this kind of knocks him off stride.
Okay, I have to admit to being one of these people banging a cash register at eleven o'clock getting home and hearing Obama say we are the ones we've been waiting for and saying, huh?
Because I said huh when I heard Klein say it.
So I've got three references to it here.
Uh Harry Boyd, uh, this is from a blog, I guess, called Tell History.
Harry Boyd from the University of Minnesota shared with us the story of the Obama campaign phrase, we are the ones we've been waiting for.
In a column in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, he took Maureen Dowd to task for suggesting Maria Shriver was the source of the quote.
Instead, Harry Boyd recalls the phrase from a song composed by Dorothy Cotton, inspired, he said, by a line from June Jordan's poem to South Africa Women, and familiar from his days with the uh Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
The uh campaign phrase reflected the surprising note of optimism in a session addressing how civic engagement had stalled in universities.
Anyway, so that's one reference to it.
Andrew Ferguson at the Weekly Standard in a piece called The Wit and Wisdom of Barack Obama says the origins of the phrase aren't nearly so glamorous or exotic.
Two years ago, before Obama even said he wanted to be president, the left-wing radical feminist lesbian novelist Alice Walker published a book of essays and called it We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For.
Believe me, if the line had come from the tribal elders of the Hoppy Nation, Alice Walker would have been more than happy to say so.
Instead, she said it came from a poem published in 1980 by the left-wing radical feminist bisexual poet June Jordan.
Neither Walker nor Jordan has said what the sentence means.
But Walker did offer this hint in the introduction to her book of essays.
Quote, we are the ones we've been waiting for, because we are able to see what's happening with a much greater awareness than our parents or grandparents, our ancestors could see.
Well, now that makes total sense to me from the standpoint of the arrogance and hubris of liberals.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Because we're the smart people.
We can see what's happened.
We're much more aware.
We are smarter than people.
Now, Oprah Winfrey also introduced Barack Obama as the one.
I. And then in another reference here, we are the ones we've been waiting for.
The first thing I thought, I don't know where this is from, uh, but the first thing I thought of was the old 60s slogan, we are the people our parents warned us against.
And doesn't that make sense?
You've heard of these people out there And imagine them, and it dawns on you that they are us, as Pogo once said, we have met the enemy and he is us.
Obama's phrase, which has been traced to Alice Walker and thence to left-wing radical feminist bisexual poet June Jordan is a nicely positive use of what is not that unusual rhetorical device.
And anyway, Joe Joe Klein's point is that average normal everyday Americans, the people that Obama criticized in San Francisco, get home from their two jobs every day and hear him say this and have no clue what he's talking about, and that it knocks him off strides.
So he's got to learn how to talk to regular people.
I don't think I don't think he can.
I don't think he considers himself a regular person.
And his comments in San Francisco indicate that he has contempt for regular people.
In his, I guess in his stump speech, Obama uses this phrase.
We are the ones we've been waiting for at the end of his riff on people waiting around for things to change.
Uh somebody else.
We're the ones we've been waiting for to create change.
The moment is now blah, blah, blah.
We are so it's it's an attempt to be inclusive.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
But of course, now that we know the origins of this, it becomes even more peculiar.
And anyway, that's that's we have another Joe Klein.
All this, by the way, is the product of Operation Chaos.
Remember now, that's a theme under which all of this is taking place.
In the next bite, Klein goes on to admit that Operation Chaos is working.
He doesn't say Operation Chaos.
No, no, no.
It doesn't, but that's not the point.
We're not here for credit.
Operation Chaos has created chaos.
He details the chaos here in this bite.
The thing is that what's happening now is I think that both of these candidates are diminishing themselves as the weeks go by.
Obama is being diminished by the attacks against him, and Clinton is being diminished by the fact that she's launching all these attacks in a way that is very unusual for a Democratic candidate.
You don't see a Democratic candidate often playing the race card, even in the subtle ways that Clinton has played it.
That's exactly right, but that's what Operation Chaos is creating.
The race war in this country is in the Democrat Party, and the Clintons brought it to the surface.
I kind of like this lament from Mr. Klein.
Obama's being diminished by the attacks against him, and Clinton's being diminished by the fact that she's launching the attacks.
These liberals are wringing their hands.
Oh, this is not good.
Now, when when, you know, say a uh George Bush is being diminished.
That's great.
That's wonderful.
We need to diminish George W. Bush.
Uh Joe, from an average regular person here, uh, it is Obama who's diminishing himself.
You know, this is Obama's not just trucking along here innocently and acting as the Messiah and running a campaign like he was before all this stuff with Reverend Wright hit.
He's saying these things, Joe.
They are coming out of his mouth.
It is obvious he believes these things.
He's diminishing himself.
What's Mrs. Clinton supposed to do?
She's seeking the nomination for herself.
What's she supposed to do?
Just ignore this.
Finally, Charlie Rose asks Dick Poleman, who is also a guest on the program, are they diminished by this dick, or are they strengthened?
Absolutely diminished.
What I hear the most from people as Democrats is that they're getting increasingly concerned, maybe to the point of being petrified in some cases, about the prospects in the fall.
This notion that these two very good candidates are just kind of like, you know, pull each other down and clear the way for McCain.
Operation chaos.
Once again, the objectives being met and exceeded.
Now we move on to PMS NBC live yet late yesterday, Nora O'Donnell speaking with former Congressman Tim Roamer, who was on the 9-11 commission.
And she said this to him.
Rush Limbaugh went off on Barack Obama today.
Not that that's a huge surprise, uh, But he said this quote Barack Obama hangs around people who are bitter to the core.
His entire inner circle is filled with almost insane rage.
Barack Obama has been attracted to extreme radical elements his entire life.
But you now have this narrative that's developing on the Republican side, essentially, that uh Barack Obama is an elitist, out of touch snob.
Um, that he's, you know, a liberal.
I mean, do you see this narrative sort of developing, and could that be harmful in the way that Republicans painted John Kerry as this windsurfing elitist in the 2004 campaign?
Well, he didn't do anything.
He windsurfed.
He went out there and went.
Anyway, here's Romer's response to the question.
Here's Rush Limbaugh, who's the expert at ripping America apart.
And I never hear any answers from him, uh, never any solutions as to how to bring people together and solve problems, just kind of ripping at the seams of how to how to tear people apart.
Senator Obama is talking about how do we bring people together, and where is he getting his support?
His support is built on the small towns of Mississippi and Alabama and Kansas and Missouri.
They're giving the 50 and 60 dollar donation when they can hardly afford uh filling up their gas tank with the price of gas uh lane these days to put in their truck, they're sending it to Barack Obama.
To put in their truck.
And they're sending 50 or 60.
Doesn't it strike you as strange if that is true with gas prices and food prices, milk prices the way they are?
Why are these people sending all this money to Obama?
Obviously, Mr. Roomer's never listened to this program.
Um ripping America apart.
Sorry, Mr. Roomer, your party's doing that every day, doing too good a job of it, Mr. Roomer.
Never hear solutions or answers as to how to bring people together and solve problems.
We provide answers each and every day.
It's very simple.
Defeat liberalism.
Inspire people.
Let them know that they're far better than they think they are.
They can do more than they think they can.
They are more capable than they even know, with the proper motivation and uh inspiration and with people around them with high expectations.
You know, stop talking to them about how they have no future in a rotten country, but instead tell them how great this country is and how much opportunities out there.
Your party doesn't do that, Mr. Roomer.
We do that on this program each and every day.
But he probably doesn't even listen.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
We have met the enemy, and they are liberals.
Okay, now the origins apparently of uh we are the ones we have been waiting for can be traced as some bisexual wacko poet from South Africa, some tribalist and so forth.
Now, I have a question about the serious question here.
Why is it that whenever the left wants to foist a radical new idea on America like we are the ones we have been waiting for?
They claim it actually came from some backasswards tribal heathen cra, you know, but hundreds of years ago.
Well what what is the magic here?
Well, if you stop and think about the uh the real extreme global warming crowd, they want us to go back and live under those kind of circumstances.
They're trying to roll back advancements.
So they've got they've got some kind of uh magical mystical attachment to these tribal.
I'm not dissing, I'm not dissing anything.
I'm I'm I just but we we you know we we had to face these tribal factions over the course of our history.
Wiped them out, we had to defeat them.
So we got you know, uh aside from not being a good source of ideas on how to govern America, what what what's the fascination with backwards tribal societies who use leaves from trees instead of toilet paper?
What what is the attraction with this?
Nob nobody, nobody ever talks about you know the wisdom of advanced cultures.
All I'm saying, nobody ever talks about the wisdom of societies who have who have advanced.
The wisdom is always among all these people who have been bypassed technologically, sociologically, any number of ways.
What What is the fascination that the left has.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
If you break that down, it is nonsensical.
We've been waiting on ourselves.
We've been wait, we've been waiting on ourselves.
I was there the whole time, but I'm still waiting for me.
I've been here all my life, but I'm still waiting for me.
I'm the one I'm waiting for.
We are the ones we are waiting for.
I'm the one I'm waiting for, but I'm so how can you wait for yourself?
But it sounds mystical.
It sounds magical.
And it sounds like it has real cosmic deep meaning that only elitist intelligent people can understand, but in fact, it is gobbledygook.
It's psychobabble.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
I'm waiting for myself.
We're waiting for ourselves here.
And you're gonna go on waiting for yourselves.
Because if you're sitting around waiting, you're not doing.
Who can blame who can blame the backbone of America for not understanding this gibberish?
Joe Plein did.
Okay, so you got these poor schlubs in liberals' view.
It's so bad out there in Pennsylvania, so bad out there in the middle of America, the rust belt, the heart belt, or wherever it is.
That you gotta have two jobs, and the second job, you get home at 11 o'clock from banging a cash register, you turn on the TV because you can't, you just don't want to go to bed, turn a TV, and there's Obama saying, we are the ones we've been waiting for, and you go, huh?
Which is the absolute brilliant reaction to it.
We are the ones who've been waiting.
The people in the heartland working two jobs are the smartest people in the country for not understanding gobbledygook and new age psychobabble.
In the meantime, the people who come up with the phrase, those stupid nuts, they haven't got the smarts to figure out how brilliant we are.
Hence, you get the arrogant condescension brought about by American leftists in their view of America.
You know, there's something new people that like the tribes and the tribalists and all these, I don't care wherever you find them, in the Andes, the Mayans, I don't care wherever you want to go.
How did they keep warm?
They skinned beavers.
They skinned animals.
They're running around wearing fur.
What do you think the fur crowd in a Democrat constituency would say about going back to that where it was a must to run around and kill animals to survive?
That's if the members of your tribe even dressed.
Get this, get this.
Friday night CNN situation room, Wolf Blitzer talking to Jeffrey Tubin and Jack Cafferty.
You won't believe this.
Bletcher says, Jeff, you think what do you think about Hillary Clinton's reaction to Obama's bitter remarks?
Hillary Clinton is clearly distorting what Obama said.
And by the way, what Obama said is factually accurate.
It's been true throughout history that people who have economic problems lash out against various others.
I mean, I just think it is it is embarrassing for the Clinton campaign to hang on this as if it's some sort of gaffe.
Look, Jeff's right.
They call it the rust belt for a reason.
The great jobs and the economic prosperity left that part of the country two or three decades ago.
The people are frustrated.
The people have no economic opportunity.
What happens to folks like that in the Middle East, you ask?
Well, take a look.
They go to places like Al Qaeda training camps.
I mean, there's nothing new here.
You heard right, Jack Cafferty has just compared small town Americans to Islamic terrorists.
They both like guns.
Well, the Islamic terrorists like bombs.
I I'm yes, you did hear that.
And then there's a first of a two-part series today from the Detroit News, bulging prisons drain Michigan's budget.
Ought to send this to Jack Cafferty.
Jack, if you want to know what's killing Michigan, take a look at which political parties been running that state for how many years?
This is a devastating story by a Detroit newspaper on the status of Michigan.
And it has nothing to do with Rust Belt economics.
It has to do with liberalism.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Full disclosure, the staff is in a state of great concern, ladies and gentlemen, fearing that my comments and the last broadcast segment will be filtered.
Take another context and spread throughout the alternative media, and I will be accused, not just of singular racism, but global racism, because I went after the Mayans, and I went after the Aztecs, and I went after the Cortez bunch, and I went after the Africans, and I went after the bisexual lesbians and the bisexual Marxists of wherever they are.
So now here's yeah, how about Rush Limbaugh?
He's everyone he ever loved.
It's like we are the ones we have been waiting for.
He is the one he's now.
Here's the point about this.
Had I done a riff attacking America, I would be heralded in these places.
They would love me.
They would say limball's coming around.
But I stood up for America and I asked, why in the world does the American left always want to go back to the stone age and beyond to say that's where our genuine humanity and values are to be found.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
Now, about that, you know, you could turn that around like a conservative could look at we are the ones who've been waiting for and translate that as a statement of self-reliance.
But that's not how the left is translating it.
As Alice Walker said, who is the inspiration for this?
We're the smartest people.
We're the ones to see.
We're the ones to see how stupid everybody else has been.
That's that's the leftist translation.
I mean, you could say on the old, on the other hand, that we are the ones we've been waiting for is a, you know, okay.
We didn't wait for everybody else, but they've botched it.
We've got to take care of it ourselves.
But that's not what the Obama interpretation is.
Um I quoted uh Michael Baron in his piece, and I wanted to finish it because this whole argument that uh Obama advanced or started with his statement about these idiots in the small towns of Pennsylvania and around the country.
They cling to their religion, they cling to their guns when economic times are bad.
Barone says it reminded him of the argument of Thomas Frank in What's the Matter with Kansas.
Uh Frank's argument is that low earners are too stupid to realize that their real interests are in voting Democrat and that they are hugely stupid for voting Republican because of their religious beliefs or their views on trade or their views on gun control or their anti-immigrant sentiments.
Now, look, and that's right.
I remember this guy's book.
He couldn't believe it.
All these all these liberal Democrats all over the country voting for Republicans, voting against their best interests, voting against government handouts.
And that's what that's what Obama meant, folks.
There's no other way to interpret this.
And don't you find it interesting that we can play soundbites from Jeffrey Tubin and Jack Cafferty and any number of other leftists who think he was right.
Bob Herbert, not only was he right, he didn't go far enough.
He should have called those Hayseed Hicks and Pennsylvania racists.
Meanwhile, Obama is out trying to rephrase what leftists think is the correct thing to say in the first place.
Well, I want you to hear this CNN bite again with Jeffrey Tubin and Jack Cafferty commenting, this is Audio Summit number nine, commenting on Hillary Clinton's reaction to Obama's remarks.
Hillary Clinton is clearly distorting what Obama said.
And by the way, what Obama said is factually accurate.
It's been true throughout history that people who have economic problems lash out against various others.
I mean, I just think it is it is embarrassing for the Clinton campaign to hang on this as if it's some sort of gaffe.
Look, Jeff's right.
They call it the Rust Belt for a reason.
The great jobs and the economic prosperity left that part of the country two or three decades ago.
The people are frustrated.
The people have no economic opportunity.
What happens to folks like that in the Middle East, you ask?
Well, take a look.
They go to places like Al Qaeda training camps.
I mean, there's nothing new here.
You heard this right.
So you people rust belt and the small towns when the economy goes south, you uh you turn to guns and bombs.
And then you go to church.
Now, I mentioned the Detroit news newspaper with a first of a two-part series, Bulging Prisons, drain Michigan's budget.
State faces hard choices as get tough laws, put more behind bars.
Uh, the story written by Charlie Kane and Gary Heinlin.
Michigan runs one of the nation's largest, most costly prison systems, two billion dollars a year, crowding out other spending priorities at a rate many officials fear the state can't uh any longer afford.
Uh let me summarize this.
Uh those on welfare and those in prison are going to be the only two types of people in Michigan left.
And there won't be anybody there to pay the taxes to support either of them.
Because they're all going to have become terrorists, according to Jack Cafferty.
The state, this this state, according according to the Detroit News, this state is a harbinger of what would happen if liberals gained unchecked control of New Orleans is the same thing.
And what happened after Hurricane Katrina?
Uh I mean, you read this piece, and you will find so many results of liberalism in reading it.
Maintaining one of the nation's biggest prison systems is impacting other state programs.
Spending on higher education, for example, has been slashed by a quarter billion dollars this decade, forcing parents and students to dig deeper to pay for tuition more.
I'm sorry to laugh.
Because who would have ever thought it's the parents' responsibility in the first place to pay for this?
Can you imagine the outrage of parents?
You mean we have to pay for our kids to go to college?
State can't afford that anymore.
Why?
Well, because there's so many people in prison.
Michigan is one of four states that spend more to run its prison system than for its public universities.
I just asked you, who's been running Michigan?
Who has been running Michigan?
Continuing on now with the audio sound bites, uh, ladies and gentlemen, Hillary, much to the chagrin of Jeffrey Tubin and Jack Cafferty at CNN, has come up with a new ad using small town Americans angry at Obama's comments.
Barack Obama said that people in small towns cling to guns or religion as a way to explain their frustrations.
I was very insulted by Barack Obama.
I think it just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is.
I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness.
I find that my faith is very uplifting.
Good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said.
Hillary does understand to citizens of Pennsylvania better.
Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life.
Where's the I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message?
Anyway, Obama will not walk away from his elitism.
I understand my opponent came this morning and uh spent a lot of his time attacking me.
Well, you know, I know that many of you like me were disappointed by recent remarks that he made.
And I think it's important that uh, you know, we give people the chance to really compare and contrast us.
Stop that.
I'm already bored with it on board.
The engineer screwed up, played the wrong bite.
Play eleven.
This is Obama responding to Hillary, well, not responding to Hillary's above saying that uh Obama won't walk away from his elitism.
Contrary to what my poor word choices may have implied or my opponents may have suggested.
I've never believed that these traditions or people's faith has anything to do with how much money they have.
But I will never walk away from the larger point that I was trying to make and have made in the past.
What was the larger point?
The American people in small towns are idiots and and rubes.
And you know, they're just they're just stupid, and they cling to their guns and they cling to their religion, and are basically people you wouldn't want to hang around.
You take the money, but you wouldn't want to hang around them.
Well, again, Obama's out there trying to rephrase something the left thinks is right.
The left is agreeing totally with the guy.
The uh the the Hillary comment that I stopped, it was in Pittsburgh yesterday.
She was speaking for the at the Alliance for American Manufacturing, and uh uh the the drive-by's are saying she was jeered.
Uh let's listen, cue that.
I'll play just a little bit of it.
I I don't know if we can tell how much the jeering actually was uh in this, but there were some booze, but let's see how bad it really is.
I understand my opponent came this morning and uh spent a lot of his time attacking me.
Well, well, you know, I know that many of you like me were disappointed.
All right, that's Operation Chaos working.
They're both getting booed.
They're all having problems out there.
But Jeremiah Wright is back.
Saturday, Chicago, the services at Trinity United Church of Christ.
Jeremiah Wright trashed Thomas Jefferson.
The introvocant men who put together the founding documents which gave birth to this nation, plans in slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this Republic, Thomas Jefferson in his notes on Virginia right now.
Query number 18 said that God would punish America from sin.
Of stink, I guess that makes no steps of unpatriotic.
He had fierce things in 1787.
y'all call me fox i call the face but they also had babies by a 15 year old slave girl i think the gentleness called that pedophilia were you able to make that out you able to make let Let me the transcript of this.
The intelligent men who put together the founding documents was gave birth to this nation, planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this Republic, Thomas Jefferson.
In his notes on Virginia Write It Down number 18 said God would punish America for the sin of slavery.
I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic.
If they had fixed news back then, they called it Fox, I call it fix.
If they had fixed news back then, they would have called him a wackadoodle.
Jefferson had intelligence, but he also had babies by a 15-year-old slave girl.
I think the judges call that pedophilia.
So, the Reverend Wright, back at it again.
Operation Chaos.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
I am the one you have been waiting for.
Check the email here in the break.
Rush, you know, I'm listening to you today, the global warming stuff and talking about Reagan.
You just sound so old-fashioned.
And I said, no, no, no, no, no.
I wrote back.
Um I am old-fashioned above the waist only.
I've I've very moderate in uh in that regard.
Audio soundbites Harry Reid on the Senate floor yesterday.
Mr. President, someone wanting to visit the Capitol today.
There's no place for them to gather.
They gather.
Used to be out on the East Front, now they gather on the West Fr.
And the people who work here joke about you can always tell when it's summertime because you can smell the visitors.
And what we mean by that, Ms. President, they stand out there in the high humidity, heat, sweating, and there's it's really there's no place for them to go.
The bathrooms in this facility are almost non existent.
There's one on this side, one on the other side, both very small.
So um Harry Reed says you can smell these small town people when they show up to visit the Capitol because they stink.
Because they sweat.
Now we haven't talked about Senator McCain for a while, but Senator McCain, you know, yes and no on the sound bites today.
Here's this this might as well be right out of an Obama speech.
This is this morning in Pittsburgh.
Americans are also right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs, in some cases, the very same CEOs who helped bring on these market troubles bear no relation to the success of the company or the wishes of the stockholders.
Something's seriously wrong.
And the American people are left to bear the consequences of reckless corporate conduct.
While Mr. Kane of Bear Stearns, Mr. Mazzillo of countrywide, and others are packed off with another 40 or 50 million for the road.
All right.
So it's just what we're dealing with here, folks, and we're gonna we're gonna be hearing things like that, but then uh we'll hear things like this.
As president, I will also order a prompt and thorough review of the budgets of every federal program, department, and agency.
While that top to bottom review is underway, we will institute a one-year pause in discretionary spending increases with the necessary exemption of military expending and veterans benefits.
A one-year pause in discretionary spending.
The next, this next we have got to get this in writing.
I will send to Congress a proposal to cut the taxes these employers pay from a rate of 35 to 25 percent.
I will also send to the Congress a middle class tax cut, a complete phase out of the alternative minimum tax to save more than twenty-five million middle class families more than two thousand dollars every single year.
I'll send to Congress a reform to increase the exemption with the goal of doubling it from thirty thousand five hundred dollars to seven thousand dollars for every dependent in every family in America.
Get that in writing.
He says he's gonna cut taxes.
Get it in writing.
Mr. McCain, Senator McCain, even if Mars collides with Earth, you will not break that promise.
And here's another good idea for McCain.
I propose that the federal government suspend all taxes on gasoline now paid by the American people from Memorial Day to Labor Day of this year.
The effect will be an immediate economic stimulus, taking a few dollars off the price of a tank of gas every time a family, a farmer or trucker stops to fill up.
There you have it.
So it one out of four.
No, one out of four, not one out of four on the left.
So you know that that that's that's uh three out of four got right.
Senator McCain in Pittsburgh today.
Todd, we have one minute.
This would wait a long time from St. Louis.
I got one minute, Todd.
Can you do it in one minute?
Oh, yeah, Rush.
You're the funniest and most entertaining guy on the radio.
We love you out here.
Thank you.
Hey, this back on this global warming scam.
I'm I'm from the old school that you got to pay attention to history to help yourself today.
You know, back in the 1400s, the Dutch and the Portuguese, these tiny little specks on the earth were the world superpowers.
And they they were superpowers because they dominated the oceans.
And the reason, the only reason that they dominated the ocean and nobody else did, was that they threw off the 1,400 scientific consensus that the world was flat, and if you sent your ships out too far, they'd fall off the edge.
I I just think that Kyoto is the is the leftist and the communist way of trying to neuter the superpower status of the United States.
Absolutely right.
You have you have nailed it in 50 seconds.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Sadly, we have uh come to another screeching halt uh because we have run out of precious broadcast moments uh here at the EIB network, but we'll be back tomorrow, 21 hours from now, revved up and ready to go, folks, and I'm sure loaded for bear at the same time.
Been great being with you today.
Can't wait for tomorrow.
