Ha.
Whoa.
How are you?
Great to have you, ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and it is Friday, live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And the telephone number if you want to appear on the program 800 282-2882.
The email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Remember, on Friday, we relax our strict call screener rules.
And whatever you wish to talk about, you can discuss.
We go to the program, go to the phones rather.
The program content is up to you.
And I don't think people realize what a tremendous risk.
There is no one in the major media that takes this kind of risk with program content.
That's because I love you people and I have strict confidence in you.
Plus, it's fun.
So again, 800-282-2882 in the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, said today that politicians who suggest that lifting a ban on offshore oil drilling would ease rising fuel prices in the U.S. or blowing smoke.
Actually, I guess he said this yesterday in Miami.
This is what he said.
From the rethinking nuclear power to pushing biofuels and more renewables and ending the ban on offshore drilling, and he goes on and on the list.
But anyone who tells you that this will bring down our gas prices immediately or any time soon is blowing smoke.
Now, Governor, you and I know each other.
And you're smarter than this.
You are smart.
Nobody's saying, nobody has ever said that drilling is going to bring down the gas price tomorrow or next week.
Governor, that's not what this is about.
What this is about is eventually increasing the supply.
What this is about is coming up with ways, real ways right now to establish energy independence.
You know, this argument, we had a great call about this this week.
This argument that we start drilling today is not going to have any effect tomorrow.
Well then why do anything?
Why start college?
Why start, why take the first step on your career ladder?
If you have a 500-mile trip to drive, why even leave?
You're not gonna get there tomorrow.
You're not gonna get there tonight.
Where did this come from?
This is this is designed not just to depress people, this is designed to suppress the whole notion of energy independence.
All of their alternatives were all blue in the face from saying this.
You think wind power is gonna reduce prices tomorrow?
Name for me the alternative energy.
Offering a 300 million dollar award for somebody who comes up with a mechanism by which an automobile can get 100 miles to the gallon, or whatever his deal is, think that's gonna happen tomorrow?
You think you're anywhere nearer?
An automobile gets 300 miles or 100 miles to the gallon when we start working on it to happen the next day.
And by the way, you know, there's a little hypocrisy here.
Governor Schwarzenegger lives in Pacific Palisades, I believe, somewhere in Los Angeles.
And Governor Schwarzenegger as governor works in Sacramento.
Governor Schwarzenegger communicate or uh uh uh commutes every day up to Sacramento and back from Los Angeles.
You can do it in about an hour, 45 minutes.
He does it in a Gulfstream G550.
One guy, maybe he's got a little entourage on the plane, I don't know.
And I don't care if he's uh doesn't matter to me, but if he's gonna tell everybody else they got to cut back and that we can't start drilling for oil, and yet he's up there burning all those millions of gallons jet fuel over the course of a year, flying back and forth to Sacramento to do his job.
You know how he says he gets away With it?
Well, I'm I'm buying carbon offsets.
I'm uh I'm investing in carbon offsets that uh that uh uh compensate entirely for my use of fuel here.
Well, that's absurd.
This state, California is an I every time I go out there, and I love it there.
I've I lived there for three and a half years, I have a lot of friends, and I love it out there, but I would never live there, and I would love to.
But the tax rates, the illegal immigration, that's that state is precariously balanced.
The overall liberal tilt of that state, the absence of any significant Republican Party opposition.
I mean, California just passed their big global warming uh plan, cap and trade plan, uh and that's not gonna is that gonna work tomorrow?
It's not gonna work, period, but is it gonna work tomorrow?
The cap and trade plan.
So all these things that they're coming up with to so-called save the country, save the state, save the planet, are they gonna work tomorrow?
No, they're not.
It's just it's it's a it's a very frustrating thing, and it and all these people know it.
Schwarzenegger knows damn well we're not talking about getting oil out of the ground tomorrow and lowering the pump price tomorrow.
He knows exactly what this is.
So there's an opposition to oil here that's based on reasons these people are not telling us.
Their opposition to oil is based on things they don't want us to know they believe.
Now, when you when you take a look, if you have a basic understanding of the role oil has played in the enrichment of peoples across this planet, if you understand the role that oil has played in the expansion of freedom and opportunity and the creation of wealth, if you understand that, and most people do.
How in the world can you be in Obama and say, well, drilling for oil right now?
Well, that's a failed policy of the past.
Another one of those failed policies of the past.
Failed policy of the past.
Where would we be without it?
So why do they want us to not drill for more oil?
You think it's about saving the planet?
Do you think that it is about all of this global warming stuff?
Do you think it's about preventing oil spills?
You think that's why they're opposed to drilling for oil?
It isn't.
It has nothing to do with that.
It has everything to do with liberalism and the expansion of government and the reduction in ever so slowly of individual liberties.
And it has everything to do within the minds of some of weakening this country on purpose.
I will never forget, and I caught hell for this on this program.
I caught hell for it.
I remember during the recall election out there when Gray Davis was on the outs and Ardell was running and he's showing up on Jay Leno's show.
And everybody going, gaga.
Arnold's a great conservative.
I say he's not a conservative, folks.
He's not a conservative.
He may be a Republican, but he's not a conservative, and I gave them example.
They did not want to hear it.
I got grief.
You remember this.
I got I had people calling me telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about, that I was that I was sabotaging this good man and his race for governors.
No, no, I'm not telling you not to vote for him to say he's not a conservative.
Where are you now?
Where are all of you who told me I didn't know what I was talking about?
Where all of you who told me I was sabotaging Arnold's campaign for governor.
Haven't heard from you lately?
Haven't heard you call here and tell me what great conservative things Arnold is doing for the state of California.
The lesson here.
Don't doubt me.
Hey, Governor Schwarzenegger, you're big on cafe standards.
A lot of you liberals are big on cafe standards, the fleet mileage standards that automobile manufacturers must meet.
Standards established for them by the wizards of SMART in the U.S. Congress, right?
Now the cafe standards are always meant to be reached in five, six, seven, ten years, right?
So let me ask you people a question.
Why even have cafe standards?
Cafe standards are blowing smoke.
You got these new mileage requirements, we're not gonna happen for ten years, they're not gonna happen tomorrow.
Why do it at all?
It's gonna take another ten years to replace all the existing cars on the road that violate these.
You just can't go tape away from people.
It's not gonna happen tomorrow, so why do cafe standards?
These people starting to make me mad.
And they ought not get away with this kind of ignorance.
That kind of ignorance that Schwarzenegger uttered ought to provoke an outrage, mass outrage from in in intelligent, engaged citizens in California.
Because that is not smart.
It's not caring.
It's not compassionate.
Why invest in biofuels?
It's going to be a long time before biofuels well, we actually know they're they're bombing out try this.
This is from the Associated Press.
Growing global demand and supply constraints will push oil prices to $200 a barrel and gas prices to seven dollars a gallon within four years, forcing 10 million U.S. cars off the road according to Jeff Rubin, chief economist at CIBC World Markets.
Now that's where this started some guy at Wall Street.
$200 a barrel oil in four years, $7 a gallon gasoline.
This is news, right?
And guess what?
10 million fewer cars by 2012?
Uh really they know this, do they?
Yes, many of those in the exit lane, many of those getting rid of their cars will be low income Americans from households earning less than $25,000 a year, said Rubin, at their current driving habits filling up the tank will have risen from about 7% of their income to 20%, an increase that will see many start taking the bus.
Which is exactly what they want.
They want as many of you in suburbia to get on mass transit because then you are theirs.
You travel on their set schedule you travel where their mass transit takes you think I'm making this up and you think I'm exaggerating it, but I'm telling you there what else can this be?
Ten million fewer cars.
Again, speculation about what's going to be the case four years from now that makes its way into the AP as a news story.
All right back to the phones.
Bill in Stewart, Florida, right up the road from here.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Uh yeah, hey Rush, thanks for taking my cally Billy and Stuart, Florida.
And uh yeah yesterday you came on the program um and uh first said uh man I'm nervous.
Uh so I'll just try to make not look like an idiot but you said why do we wait on the Supreme Court every every year in June?
Well while we wait on them, Rush, or why we listen to what they have to say because anymore they're the law of the land.
Anthony Kennedy has been the most powerful man in the world for the last three weeks.
And we don't have we don't have Congressmen.
We don't even have a president who will stand up to him last night I saw on TV Bobby Jingal and I know you probably heard this he said that you know since the Supreme Court won't let them uh give the death penalty to child rapist now they're going to castrate them and he said he didn't care what the Supreme Court thinks.
I I tell you I I like to hear guys like that Rush but but what I want to know is is how do people like me how do how do the people like us conservatives how do we get our country back?
I want to tell you if you'll let me talk just a second my wife last week on this on the oil prices the subcommittee supposed to be out my wife got on email tried to get through to the congressman who are on the subcommittee if you're not in their district you can't even get in their email.
Mel Martinez conservative from Florida who I voted for sends you out a foreign letter never answers your questions when she sends him anything says it's the oil company's fault.
How do we get rid of these people?
How do we get our country back?
You vote them out of office and you focus on voting on conservatives not Republicans.
Okay Rush that's a good answer.
When Mel Martinez ranks but it's not going to happen tomorrow it's not going to happen tomorrow.
It's not going to happen next year.
This is going to be this is this is something that's going to have to be the focus of a long term project and it's going to take people willing to be involved in a long term basis.
Nothing nothing happens tomorrow.
Now this business about Bobby Gendal and the and the thing that well, what let me address something else that you said first.
What I actually said was yesterday that I'm distressed that the people in our country have been manipulated to the point that every June we sit around and pant, waiting for the Supreme Court to tell us what is.
The Supreme Court is no longer just the ultimate authority on legal and constitutional matters.
The Supreme Court is now taken upon itself the role to determine our political outcomes as well, to decide controversial political outcomes, and of course, these people are not elected.
They're appointed and then confirmed or nominated and then confirmed by presidents in the Senate, but they are not elected.
And once they're there, you can't vote them out.
And this is not what the founders intended.
The people who make the political decisions, the political calls, the laws and what have you, are people we elect.
Uh this is all about conservatism beating liberalism.
It's really no more complicated than that.
It's just that we don't have any elected conservative leaders.
I look, I I don't go through this again.
This is open line Friday, it's the end of the week.
I've been through this I don't know how many times in the psychology of Republicans in Washington, we all know what it is.
And that's why the the focus here and in a lot of the so-called new media is simply discrediting and defeating the left.
That's a that that's about what we can do.
When there's somebody on our side we're promoting, we promote them.
But if there's not, we don't.
It's uh it's just it's just that simple.
Now, as for Bobby Gendal.
Yeah, he said he's gonna castrate them, chemically.
Uh castrate him.
Bobby Gendal also said, and so did Mayor Daly.
Mayor Daly is out there and says, screw this.
That was a law that affected a District of Columbia and not the states, and I'm not gonna abide by this.
Screw the NRA, Wayne Lampierre's gonna go up there gonna sue everybody.
And then the NRA, there's a gang that shows you how to act on offense.
The NRA doesn't take any prisoners, and they are going for the throat of the left, and look if they've won.
They have won, and look how hated they are.
And that's what people can't put up with is being hated.
And they can't put up with being lied about, and they can't put up with being this impugned, but Lapierre and his gang don't care.
They don't care what the left says about them, and that's the first thing I think the number one thing that has to happen to our side is they need to get a steel spine and not care.
The left is gonna lie about them anyway.
I as I grow older, I have to tell you I have so much impatience with people who are so concerned with what others think of, especially people they don't even know.
I can understand if you're concerned with your wife or husband thinks about you, that matters.
And I can understand you'd be worried what your kids think about you, but that matters less because they're gonna hate you at some point too.
That's natural.
They're gonna think you're an old idiot, you know, when they're teenagers and they're gonna but but but people that you don't know.
It's like newspaper.
I couldn't care less what they say about me in the newspaper and the media.
I don't know those people.
I know what the truth is.
I know what the truth in my heart is, and you do too, those of you who listen to me.
I got over this a long time ago.
And, you know, people in my I don't care what people think of my brother.
I love him.
People that don't know him, my cousins, members of I don't care what they might say about.
I care about if what happened if what they say about me harms them.
But I don't, you know, and this the the problem with the Republicans is that they are so concerned what the New York Times says about them and the Washington Post says about them, or what the AP says about them.
Because they have to get elected ever so often, and they think it they think it matters.
I think if they ran around and showed people they don't care, Wayne Lampierre doesn't care what people say about him, and none of the other Charlton Heston didn't damn well care.
Charlton Heston had a big victory yesterday, too.
He didn't care what people said about him.
I mean, here was a guy who at one time, because of his movie career was Moses.
Moose.
And he ended up hated and reviled by the American left, and no more wonderful man would you ever meet than Charlton Heston?
He didn't care.
He had an objective.
He didn't let what people were going to say or what he thought they might think intimidate him.
That's our biggest problem.
And until our side gets over that, it isn't gonna be able to do other things.
Because that's gonna be the prison that they're gonna constantly be in.
The first thing they're gonna say, Well, what are they gonna say about me if I say this?
What are they gonna say about me if I advance this bill?
You're dead.
You're dead.
What they need to be concerned about.
What are my voters going to say?
Is this good for the country what I'm trying to do here?
Screw what they say about it.
I know they're going to criticize it because it's good for the country.
Little interesting question for you, Bobby Gindle.
Supreme Court said you cannot execute a child rapist.
But if the Supreme Court also said yesterday that you have a gun in your home.
So a rapist enters your house, 11 o'clock at night, finds his way to your little girl's bedroom.
You spot him raping your child, and you shoot the rapist.
And the rapist dies.
What are they going to do to you?
You can have a gun now.
Yes, I know.
And then in the process, I'm trying to find something here.
It's a great example, illustrate what I am talking about.
I've got to find this.
I may not be able to find it here when on so many stacks here.
I thought I'd put it in this stack, but it's not in this stack, it doesn't appear.
Yeah, here we go.
Two things.
Actually, three.
Along the lines here of what do we do here to overcome the problems that we're in?
Now, I again, I don't want to sound like a broken record here, but we have been through this.
There's a lot happening to the Republican Party.
The country club blue blood Rockefeller types are trying to take it over, and they're trying to exclude as much of the Republican base from that party as possible.
And here is an example.
It's a story from McLean's in Canada.
The decline of America's religious right.
Why Obama may be poised to lure churchgoers away from Republicans.
Given that 10% of Americans believe that Obama is a Muslim.
Who said that?
Where is that poll?
Have you seen that poll?
10% they well, whatever.
And many more believe he followed a preacher who's a radical, the Illinois Senator seems an unlikely candidate to deliver religious voters to the Democrat ticket.
They go on to make the case here that the religious right is close to migrating to Obama.
Part of it is global warming, uh, stewardship of the earth and so forth.
But part of it is that they are very much aware in the religious right that the Republican Party's telling them to go to hell.
That the Republican Party's not in, they're embarrassed of them.
That you've got the conservative intelligence.
And by the way, once if this happens, if the religious right in significant numbers goes to Obama and votes for him in November, you're going to see the biggest chart.
The drive by's are going to love the religious right.
They are going to talk about them as the most enlightened voters in America to have seen the light.
No more will they be making fun of the stills in the backyard.
No more will they be making fun of gun racks, NASCAR jokes, pickups on Saturday night in a church parking lot to get a close parking space.
No jokes like that at all.
No more calling them to clampets.
They're going to be among America's most respected voters, the religious right to cross over and vote for Obama.
In the midst of all this, we have a ladies and gentlemen, an enlightened new conservative intelligentsia in the media.
And it is led by names that you have heard, among them David Brooks at the New York Times, and this new branch of conservatives, pseudo-conservatives, really believe in big government.
They believe in an activist government that has conservative tendencies, which is oxymoron.
It cancels itself out.
A large government with conservative tendencies is not possible.
And what these people have done, they've basically accepted the premises of the left.
Let me, there's a there's a new book out by a couple young conservatives.
I don't remember their names, but they have the proscription, they say, for salvaging and saving the Republican Party.
And their book is praised today by Mr. Brooks, or it might have been yesterday.
Yes, today, the New York Times.
Let me read to you what Mr. Brooks wrote about these two young bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Republicans who have an idea to save the party.
They open the book with a working class view of a recent American history.
They write admiringly about the New Deal.
So we've got a book by two young Republicans, one of whom I think was an intern at National Review, saying that the secret to success of the Republicans is to go back and get working class voters, that they have been abandoned.
Republicans focus too much on the rich.
And these two guys say we need to look to the new deal to find out.
Wait a minute, stick with me here.
We need to look to the New Deal to find out our salvation and where it is.
As Republicans.
Mr. Brooks continues.
They mention Roosevelt's economic policies, but they also emphasize the New Deal's intense social conservatism.
Self-conscious maternalists like Eleanor Roosevelt and Francis Perkins ensured that New Deal programs were biased in favor of traditional two-parent families.
So what do we have?
We have a prominent conservative, so-called, writing conservatism in the New York Times, promoting a book, the focus of which is the salvation and future of the Republican Party by suggesting the New Deal was conservative.
Now that's where we are.
You wonder what you can do about it.
I'm telling you there's an all-out assault on conservatism, even from within the Republican Party itself, not to mention the Democrats and the Liberals and what they would like to do.
You know what makes this even more absurd?
We have these two guys, these two young guys writing this book about how to save the Republican Party and make it the dominant party, saying the New Deal is our answer.
Learned how government interacts successfully and compassionately with the most people and get yourself in charge of it.
And make sure that the working class understands that we as a party are for them, and a way to do that is to get government working for them.
Now there is a usefulness to David Brooks in that he is a foil.
David Brooks is illustrative of what has gotten the party where it is today.
He doesn't realize.
He doesn't realize the Republicans have been taking the lead on this agenda.
Why did they lose those six?
It wasn't corruption.
There were spending like drunken sailors, and they got caught up in the perks of power.
The government's bloated.
It can be the Republicans didn't put the brakes on it whatsoever.
The Republicans were doing earmarks just like the Democrats did.
And Republican conservative voters, limited government, limited government, smaller government, get it out of our way is the is the coin of the realm.
And so what Mr. Brooks doesn't realize is this is exactly where the Republican Party's been headed for seven or eight years now.
And he's only noticing it now and commenting on it as though it represents our future.
Now, if the Republican Party's been doing this, they haven't embraced the New Deal, but they may as well been funding it, along with the Democrats, and if it was going to be our salvation, then how come everybody thinks we're going to get shellaced in November?
We've been doing what these two guys in their book and what Brooks is promoting in their book.
We've been doing it for seven years.
We've been growing government.
We've been trying to use government to interact with people's lives, a powerful and engaged executive.
And we have been trying to say we're not mean and we're not cruel, and we love you.
And we've been trying to give people as much of what government.
We even created our own entitlement for crying out loud, the Republicans came up with a new entitlement.
Can you believe it?
New Deal.
We're close.
We should be in the stratosphere.
The Democrats ought to be able to barely muster 25 or 30% of the vote if these guys are right.
They're not right.
What's happening is the Republican Party's falling apart.
You take the guy that just called from Stuart Florida's frustrated.
He got nowhere to turn politically to get what he wants.
He doesn't know who to vote for.
His senator sends him a form letter after he inquires about oil drilling and a number of other things.
Senator Dunny Mel Martinez.
In the meantime, we've got McCain up in Ohio, and he's assuring social conservatives that he's going to be on board and he's going to say the right things and do the right things, but then you run into this.
ABC News.
Oops.
In an interview on the ABC News Shuffle Podcast yesterday, Senator Lieberman, the independent Democrat from Connecticut, made his case for the campaign of John McCain.
He said, I'm going to make a provocative statement.
In many ways, I think John McCain on foreign policy is closer to where Al Gore and I were in 2000 than where Barack Obama is.
Now I like Joe Lieberman.
I have a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman.
But will you tell me how in the world it is going to help Republicans have confidence in McCain by saying his foreign policy is closer to Gore's in 2000 than it is to Obama's today?
It ought not be anywhere near either of them.
The McCain foreign policy o'hab very little in common with anything a gore or an Obama would do.
So you put all these things together, and what you have is an assault on the Republican Party from within the party, and of course the natural everyday assault on the party that you get from the drive-by media and the Democrats.
I'll be right back after this.
Emotional rescue, the stones.
That's exactly what happens on this program every day.
We rescue your emotions from the assaults of the drive-by media.
Get this from the New York Times today.
Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years.
You environmentalist nutcases, you've shot yourself in the foot out here.
You've got we got these solar plants out there, and they didn't do an economic impact study, so we're gonna shut them down.
I guess there won't be solar power tomorrow.
I guess we're not gonna get any solar power for homes tomorrow.
Or next week, a two-year moratorium while we study the how do you get one of these things built without an environmental impact for crying out loud, I couldn't put an outhouse in my backyard without getting one.
Back to the phones.
Nina in Dallas.
Nice to have you, Nina.
The last Nina was sort of off the charts.
I hope you're better.
Well, it's Nina.
It's not Nina.
I'm Nina.
Okay, it's been a it's a pleasure waiting on you.
And I have uh I want to talk about George Carlin.
And uh my son and I think uh that uh well, whatever it was that uh uh what was it, a skit?
Was it a skit?
Well, it was from one of his comedy acts.
There were three sound bites here from one of his uh I think it was probably from an HBO special that he did.
It might have been a stage show, but uh it might have it doesn't matter.
It was it was it was actually George Carlin on stage in performance.
Yeah.
Well, we just well, you we think that you probably need to put that on every day.
Really?
Why, I'm not good enough.
No, but uh you need the liberals to hear that crap.
You know, you need to they need to hear it.
This isn't crap.
What what I know, I know Carlin said it's not oh, you think because Carlin's a liberal, uh that other liberals, if they hear Carlin, they might be more inclined to be persuaded than if they heard it from me.
That's right.
Well, I see, I get it.
And uh uh that means I should be a liberal for half the show.
Oh no, no, you're fine the way you are.
But I was gonna tell you that uh Tyler Cox uh from Dallas uh and I, uh bunch of people came up to see you, and oh, I don't remember what year.
But we really enjoyed it and that you came up to see the TV show.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that would have been uh ninety-three or ninety-four.
Yeah, not probably ninety-four.
Yes.
Oh, the that was the year that Republicans took over the the House representative.
Well, that's that's exactly what it was.
It was nineteen ninety-four.
They were uh they were crowned uh and began their reign uh on uh January of nineteen ninety-five.
I I ran up and down the hall every time they come on, you know, someone uh uh Republican beat uh uh Democrat, you know, and I'd run down the hall to chem by a son, which is in bed with a stroke, and I'd run back to listen to the radio and all that stuff, and it was just wonderful.
I just loved every second, and then they just messed around and went back liberal.
Um they got a little, they got a little, they got a little um got a little arrogant.
They stopped teaching conservatism.
They thought the whole country had gone conservative, and so they thought they stopped teaching it fatal error there.
Let's listen to some of these.
This is the George Carlin bites that she's talking about.
He played them earlier in the week.
You know, he died.
Heart attack, uh, heart failure, age 71.
We have three, I think is it three sound bites, George Carlin on the environment.
Here's number one.
Let me tell you about endangered species, all right.
Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature.
It's arrogant meddling.
It's what got us in trouble in the first place.
Doesn't anybody understand that?
Interfering with nature.
Over 90 percent, over, way over 90 percent of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone.
They're extinct.
We didn't kill them all.
They just disappeared.
That's what nature does.
We're so self-important, so self-important.
Everybody's gonna save something now.
Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.
And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet.
What?
Exactly right.
This next riff could have come right from behind this microphone.
I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths.
People trying to make the world safe for their Volvos.
There is nothing wrong with the planet.
Nothing wrong with the planet.
The planet is fine.
The people are different.
Difference.
The planet is fine.
Compared to the people, the planet is doing great.
It's been here four and a half billion years.
Do you ever think about the arithmetic?
Planet has been here four and a half billion years.
We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years.
George Carlin on the environment, and another riff that could have come right from this program.
Two hundred years versus four and a half billion.
And we have the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat, that somehow we're going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a floating around the sun.
The planet has been through a lot worse than us.
Been through all kinds of things worse than us.
Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference.
The planet isn't going anywhere.
We are going away.
I just I don't believe what I'm seeing.
Hillary Clinton standing off to the side while Obama's at the podium up there in Unity, New Hampshire.

You ever see her stare at him from the gallery at the house during the State of the Union speech?
I mean, the nurse Ratchet face was up.
She's looking at him like oh, like he is the second coming.
It's all an act.
By the way, the uh he's saying that we we we uh we need to uh stop our dependence on dictators for energy.
Well, what kind of energy do we get from dictators?
Oil.
Does he want to get our own oil?
No.
He wants to have a green energy program.
By the way, the Iraqis got blown out in their attempt to go back to the World Cup in soccer.
The soccer team got beat.
They have fired the soccer coach, and they fired everybody on the team.
Which is an improvement.
