Boy, but the Iranians are quaking in their boots now, ladies and gentlemen.
A House committee.
A House Committee has just convened to discuss the Iranians' launching of nine missiles, one of which has the range necessary to strike Israel.
That's a way to handle it.
Have a bunch of meetings.
In Washington.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution, America's real anchorman.
Doing the job the drive-by media used to do a long, long, long, long time ago.
America's Truth Detector and the Doctor of Democracy all combined here as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Telephone number is 800 282-2882.
If you'd like to join us on the phones, the email address, El Rushbow at EIBNet.com from the Australian newspaper, The Herald Sun.
Psychiatrists have detected the first case of climate change delusion, and they haven't even yet got to Kevin Rood and his global warming guru, Kevin Rude, the new Prime Minister of Australia.
Writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Joshua Wolfe and Robert Salo of the Royal Children's Hospital say this delusion was a previously unreported phenomenon.
Here's the first reported case.
A 17-year-old boy was referred to the impatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne with an eight-month history of depressed mood.
He also had visions of apocalyptic events.
The patient had also by the way, who else has visions of apocalyptic events?
Al Gore has visions of apocalyptic events.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has visions of apocalyptic events.
James Hansen of NASA has visions of apocalyptic events.
I would suggest, ladies and gentlemen, these patients would also qualify to be referred as patients suffering climate change delusion.
This 17-year-old kid had developed the belief that due to climate change, his own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people through exhaustion of water supplies.
Never mind the poor boy.
This piece, by the way, written by Andrew Bolt.
Never mind this poor kid who became too terrified even to drink.
What's scarier is that people in charge of our government seem to suffer from climate change delusion, too.
Here is Prime Minister Kevin Rude yesterday with his own apocalyptic vision quote if we do not begin reducing the nation's levels of carbon pollution, Australia's economy will face more frequent and severe droughts, less water, reduced food production, and devastation of areas such as the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadoo, the wetlands.
Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have young children in school?
All the way up to Haskrul, who come home every day and tell you of the latest fear that they have based on what they have been told by their deranged teachers in school.
And how many of you have tried to talk them out of it?
And your kids will not listen.
Because they heard it in school, and because they've seen Al Gore's movie, and because even on some of the Saturday morning cartoons or on MTV or whatever else, you know, rot gut they watch, this message is consistently pummeled into them.
And so now you've got a case of a 17-year-old kid who is afraid to drink water because he thinks the world is going to run out if he does.
And other people will die.
Where is it?
I've got a uh yeah, here's here's another example of this clearly to me qualifies as global warming, climate change a delusion.
I don't know where this is from.
It's an AP story.
Megan Schroeder rides her bike or walks to school to do her part to help the planet.
She also likes the incentives that her scruel, Bear Creek Elementary, uses to reward kids who ditch mom or dad's car in favor of biking or walking.
You get treats, too, usually some kind of food.
I want a bike at the award ceremony, said Megan, who is oh, it's Boulder, Colorado.
She's eight years old.
Since I like animals, I want to save the environment.
Hello, polar bear pictures.
Hello, fraudulent polar bear pictures.
Hello, fraudulent penguin pictures.
Hello, fraudulent scare stories about caribou and oil pipelines.
Across the country, schools are encouraging families to forgo their cars to promote healthy habits, relieve traffic congestion around scruble buildings, and to reduce auto emission students who live too far to walk or bike, are asked to form carpools, use public transportation, or walk part of the way.
Some parents worry about their children's safety, bad weather, and heavy book bags.
Many find it easier to drop their kids off at school on the way back to work.
Sal Laspisa, school age children director at the Garfield YMCA, said, you know.
I uh I knew there was going to be some resistance from parents.
I knew they were apprehensive about this.
But it didn't take them long to appreciate the value of walking, he said.
They saw not only how great it is, but how simple it is.
Walking provides an opportunity to exercise and socialize before school.
Say the proponents, and can have a long-term impact on health.
See, it's all wrapped up here.
This is just total, this is an effort to just totally control as much of individual life and decisions as possible, starting with these little, you know, skulls full of mush, just waiting to absorb all kinds of rot gut drivel and bilge.
And it's gotten to the point now where people are actually thinking that if they get in a car, they're destroying the planet.
And if they walk, they're saving the planet.
A bunch of people with meaningless lives who desperately want to matter, who desperately want to so-called contribute.
And so they fall into these notions of doing silly things.
We just saw.
We just saw, it was this in New York City.
That video tape.
It would look like it was some city.
And what was it called?
A green clean cargo bike.
It was a new way of transporting cargo in cities.
It looked like a four-wheel bicycle with some guy chugging along, pedaling and so forth.
It was a girl.
Fine, doesn't matter.
All right, and right in the middle of all this traffic, you know, it's doing five miles an hour while cars are trying to get around it and doing their usual 30, 35, whatever the speed limit, whatever you can go in a in a city, whatever the speed limit will allow.
And we're working that we're going back to Rickshaw's.
They're taking us back to Rickshaw's.
And don't say they're taking us back to the horse and buggy because they don't even allow those in New York, or they're trying to stamp them out anyway, because of the horsies.
Yes, it's cruel to the horsies to have to pull all those fat people through Central Park.
On those heavy, ugly, hideous carriages.
The fat people, they should be walking through Central Park.
It just these poor horses are being built, Mythroombaugh.
So you don't even want to take us back to the horse and bug.
I'm on the verge of profanity here for I better take a time out here because I. About about the official psychiatric designation now of climate change delusion.
Here is senior Sydney Morning Herald journalist a journalist aghast at the horrors described in the report on global warming released last Friday by the president's guru, Professor Ross Garneau.
Garnow said Australians must pay more for gas, must pay more for food, must pay more for energy, or ultimately Face a rising death toll.
So I guess the Prime Minister's new campaign slogan, when he's up for re-election will be pay more for food or die.
As Mr. Bolt says, yeah, we can laugh at this and we must, but the price for such folly may soon be your job or at least your cash, Rude and Garno want to scare you into backing their plan to force people who produce everything from gas to coal fired electricity, from steel to soft drinks, to pay for licenses to emit carbon dioxide.
The gas they think is heating the world to hell.
The cost of these licenses, totaling in the billions, will then be passed on to you through higher bills for petrol, power, food, housing, air travel, and anything else that uses lots of gassy power.
In some countries, they're even planning to tax cow flatulence, so there's no end to the ways that you can be stung.
Prime Minister Rude hopes this pain will make you switch to expensive but less gassy alternatives, and in presto, the world's temperature will then fall already as it is.
Where is it?
Global warming stack.
See, I've got a graph here sent to me by my official EIB climatologist Dr. Roy Spencer.
He has a graph that he prepares.
It's tough to describe this on the radio.
I'll send this graph up to Coco at the web.
Well, Coco Jr., because Coco Sr. is on vacation.
So I'll send this up to Coco Jr.
But it is a chart of the global average temperatures from NOAA and NASA satellites beginning in 2006.
The chart runs all the way out through 2015.
And the uh the on the left side, the temperature departure from normal in Celsius degrees, Al Gore is predicting that by 2015 we will have increased the global average temperature by 0.8 degree Celsius.
However, the actual temperatures, the global average temperatures since uh the middle of 2006 have fallen.
And in fact, in June of this year, just a few short days ago, the readings for that month came out, and the global average temperature in June and May fell almost two-tenths of a degree Celsius.
After a high in about mid-2006 of the global average temperature being 0.6 degrees Celsius above mean or above the norm, it's fallen from 0.6 above to 0.2 below since 2006.
It is cooling.
While we're pumping all these gases out there, it is cooling off around the world.
I have another chart here.
Do you know that all these all the and this, by the way, these are these are these are charts, these are actually graphs from many, many moons ago on a science website that depict Arctic ice.
Do you know the amount of ice in the Arctic this month versus this month 20 years ago is identical.
There's not less ice now than there was then, and there's not more ice than there was.
It hasn't.
It's all it's going to come back.
They say it's all going to disappear, which is nonsense.
Total 100% hoax.
And meanwhile, while all this is going on, while the Australian government is telling its citizens pay more or die, which is about what we're being told here.
In fact, this poor kid in Australia thinks if he drinks, the world's going to die, so he's killing himself by not drinking.
They had to put him in a psycho ward.
Your kid could be next, folks.
Now in China, the ChICOMs released their own global warming strategy a year ago, its own Garnot report, this is Rude's guru in Australia, which bluntly refused to cut its total emissions, said Ma Kai, head of China's Powerful State Council, quote.
China does not commit to any qualified emissions reduction commitments.
Our efforts to fight climate change must not come at the expense of economic growth.
The Chicoms of all people get it.
The ChICOMs.
If anybody ought to be leading the charge on this, it'd be socialist communists, but the Chicoms know full well the disaster that awaits anybody who buys into the delusion and the requirements to fulfill the delusion as advanced by Al Gore.
Mr. Bolt writes, in fact, we had to get used to more gas from China, not less.
It's uh it's quite inevitable that during this industrialization stage, China's energy consumption and CO2 emissions will be quite high.
Damn straight.
They're growing.
They're going to expand.
Here's another instance.
India.
India has said that it will not stop its per capita emissions from growing until they match those of countries such as the U.S. Right now, the emissions per capita in India are 1.02 tons.
We are at 20 tons.
So the nation of India says, screw you.
We're going to keep growing and we're going to keep emitting until we equal the United States.
Now, given that uh India has one billion people, that's a promise to gas the world like it's never been gassed before.
But what makes the Indian report so interesting is that unlike Ross Garneau in Australia, who just accepted the word of those scientists wailing that we face doom.
Scientists in India went to the trouble to check what the climate was actually doing and why.
And you know what they found?
Scientists in India said they couldn't actually find anything bad in India that was caused by man-made warming.
No firm link between the documented climate changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established.
In fact, they couldn't find any change in the climate at all.
As their emissions are growing, they found no change in the climate in India whatsoever.
And this is because there isn't any.
There isn't any change in the climate in the United States.
There's no change in the climate in China, other than it's more polluted.
There's no change in the climate in Australia.
Temperature is going down worldwide.
It's the forecasts of the apocalypse.
Oh, yes, it's going to happen ten years from now, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 years from now, they say.
This is just the lull before the storm.
And don't forget, a bunch of these doomsayers actually admitted six months or so ago that uh ocean patterns in the Pacific were responsible for this cooling, and they were going to delay the onset of warming for nine years.
But boy, after those nine years, Katie barred the door, batting down the hatches because we are gonna cook.
Meanwhile, with all these emissions, somehow the earth is finding a way to cool things.
I don't believe the emissions warm the planet in the first place.
I don't buy any of it.
But your kids are being sold this bill of good folks.
They are eating it up.
Keep a sharp eye on them.
They might soon qualify for global warming delusional or climate change delusion syndrome.
Here's Chris and Fresno as we go back to the phones.
Chris, great to have you here.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Ah, excellent to talk to you.
Twenty years in the waiting, and I'm happier than a pig in poop.
Well, thank you, sir.
Very much.
Appreciate that.
This this crap that Obama spewing forth about our necessity to learn Spanish is I I'm sorry, it's laughable.
I see it is no more than his feeble attempts to pander to the Mexicans in the United States.
First of all, all of them, they don't speak Spanish.
They speak Mexican.
If you look at the verb conjugation, there's a complete difference between Spanish spoken from someone from Mexico and Spanish spoken from someone in Spain.
I know.
It's like the differences between uh speaking female in New York and female in California.
There are there are minute differences if you know how to spot them.
Yes.
Exactly.
Same thing.
However, when is he going to point out the real problem?
The problem isn't our inability to communicate with our neighbors to the South.
It's our inability to fix our school system.
You know, if is he gonna do something about the unions that is keeping our children from learning what they need to learn, or is he gonna force us to become a non-right to work country?
Let me tell you what this is about, Chris.
It's not about Spanish.
It's not about English.
It's not about French.
It's about Obama being embarrassed of his country.
It's about Obama thinking the Europeans are heading shoulders above us more sophisticated.
It's about Obama being embarrassed when he goes to Europe.
It's about Obama being embarrassed to lead or be a citizen of this country.
And it's an attempt here to insult the people of this country, coupled with a uh a mandate.
We must teach our children a second language.
From Washington, schools should educate teenagers and even children as young as eleven about abusive dating situations, say experts.
How about teaching them how to read?
How about teaching them how to do math?
Just once.
A man, a living legend, a national treasurer, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and a general all around good guy, Rushlin bought the EIB network from the New York Times today, a story by uh Carl Hulse and David Hershenhorn, the headline, lawmakers re-energized on energy.
Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, said anxiety over fuel oil costs is a crisis now in her state.
Senator Amy Klobuchard, Democrat Minnesota, said oil drilling advocates weighed in from the sidelines as she marched in a 4th of July parade.
Senator Bob Casey, Democrat Pennsylvania, heard it even closer to home from his own teenager.
My daughter said, Dad, what are you gonna do about gas prices?
Senator Harry Reid, Dingy Harry of Nevada, has made a refrain in recent weeks of saying we can't drill our way out of this problem, but he opened his news conference yesterday with a different approach.
Let's begin the discussion here by saying Democrats support domestic production.
No, you don't.
And you haven't.
Senator Reed and the rest of your party, you have stood as obstructionists.
You have been obstacles to America's independence when it comes to energy and oil.
Should an energy measure begin to take shape, lawmakers have a variety of their own ideas to offer.
Senator Casey is proposing a bill that would subsidize the cost of fuel for volunteer firefighters responding to emergencies.
Senator John Warner, Republican Virginia, has resurrected the 55 mile per hour speed limit.
What a mealy-mouth thing to say.
Energy bill would subsidize the cost of fuel for volunteer firefighters responding to emergencies.
Absolutely it's a specious, stupid idea.
And I'll tell you this 55 mile an hour speed limit.
That's gonna happen.
They are gonna get the you mark my words, folks.
They're gonna get that back.
This keeps up all this panic.
I'm this is this is not by the way, there's the story in here that Dick Turban has decided that he, too, ladies and gentlemen, wants to um uh start drilling.
Where is this story?
Here it is.
Wall Street Journal today, faced with mounting pressure from voters to respond to record gasoline prices, some senior Democrat lawmakers today or yesterday, opened the door to a compromise with Republicans that would open more land on and offshore to oil and gas exploration and production.
Separately on Tuesday, Pelosi called on the Bush administration to draw down a small This this is such a trick.
Pelosi called on Bush to draw down a small portion of oil held in the emergency petroleum stockpile in an effort to boost available supplies and reduce prices.
Uh White House said that that's opposed to doing that.
It's a one-time thing, it's not gonna matter a hill of beans.
Uh just doing it one time.
Speaking to reporters, and that's that's Pelosi's out.
She's trying to get people to go along with that idea rather than drill.
Richard Durbin talking to reporters yesterday, said, quote, I'm open to drilling and responsible production, adding that he and Dingy Harry could support a modest expansion of offshore production.
Now, Durbin did say that any compromise on drilling would be contingent at a minimum on a requirement that oil and gas companies sitting on existing acreage either produce oil in those areas within a specified period or return the leases to the government.
What if there's no oil there worth getting?
But anyway, the drift of this, and the essential part of this is the Democrats can read polls, and they see that over 60% of the American people are fed up here, and they clearly understand what it is.
The laws of supply and demand, and if we had our own energy supplies, or if we increased them, that the overall supply of oil in the world would go up, prices would come down, and we would also be less dependent.
Now, as I said yesterday, if Republicans cannot win with these gas prices, while the Democrats have an inexperienced, arrogant, condescending moron elitist who doesn't understand why anybody would object to continually rising gas prices, which is going to drive up the cost of everything, then they are the latter half of dumb and dumber.
This is a gold mine opportunity.
You've got a Democrat Party presidential nominee, and we can get the tape, who has said the only thing that bugs him about $4 gas is how fast we got there.
He didn't like the speed and the rapidity with which the price went to $4.
The Republicans continue to tell us that they can't win, that this isn't their year.
This that's that's B.S. This year is served up on a silver platter.
Now we've got the Democrats wavering and caving on this because they see the reality.
People vote their pocketbooks.
Democrats are on the wrong side of the biggest issue since 9-11.
This is a huge, huge opportunity.
An aggressive and innovative ad campaign wins this going away.
Like I was telling Sturdley yesterday, remember the uh at the at the Republican convention, wherever it was last one, last convention, the Democrats snug somebody in there wearing a cigarette costume and call him Buttman, and this guy was to uh represent the Republicans uh tie to evil corporate interests who kill their customers.
Well, fine and dandy.
We could make this part of Operation Chaos, get people dressed up as oil wells and gas pumps and walk around a Democrat National Convention, or a sandwich board in there with a gas price on it.
Something smart, but this is the issue.
There isn't anything else right now.
Republicans ought to be all over the radio with this.
Everybody in a car who has a radio is a potential target.
Because a car's what takes gasoline.
People in their cars are listening to the radio.
That's why the Republicans need to be on the radio.
How mad do you get every time you pull in?
How mad do you get when you see the price?
And you know that there are people who are standing in the way of doing anything about it within the economic laws of supply and demand.
You don't expect a magic wand, but you do expect some responsibility.
Then you realize it's a Democrats who want you mad.
It's a Democrats who want you suffering.
It's a Democrats want you mad and suffering because they think you're going to blame Republicans and elect them.
Every gas station owner is a potential Republican voter.
Every cab driver, every trucker, everybody owns a boat.
Anybody who drives anything is a prime target here for Republicans.
All this doom and gloom and this apocalyptic stuff about their chances from the Republicans is insane.
Why run around and create your own negative self-fulfilling prophecy?
I understood, well, Russia just try to lower expectations.
Screw the lowering expectations.
Where is an aggressive campaign on offense about this?
I mean, to me, to me, ladies and gentlemen, I'm venting the obvious.
But it just seems to me the Democrats ought to be the party on the run here.
And they are now all of a sudden, little by little, a number of Democrats are starting to change their position on offshore drilling.
They are running scared.
They are on the run.
It's time to take advantage of it.
Need to be full of optimism for what tomorrow brings.
Like I said yesterday, folks, and I saw I thought this was quite descriptive.
Even for me.
I often do not compliment myself because it would require a lot of time.
There is no shining city on a hill without domestic oil.
Ronaldus Magnus.
The picture image he painted of America as a shining city on a hill.
There is no shining city on a hill without domestic oil, coal, gasoline, nuclear power, natural gas.
See, the Democrats have no interest in the shining city, period.
They're trying to turn out the lights in the Shining City, because they think the Shining City has been bully, has been arrogant, and offends the Europeans.
So the lights are out in the Shining City on the hill with the Democrats in charge of it.
They've got the dimmers on.
They would prefer a blackout of the Shining City on a hill.
By the way, that's not an Obama joke.
I heard a rumor.
A title of the tune, it's my banana.
MTV days, you know, back in the early 80s.
Mid-80s, I guess.
Anyway, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
I question here about these Democrats who all of a sudden are now open to the notion of offshore drilling, such as Senator Durbin, uh Senator Casey, uh Senator Collins, who's a Republican, at least in title.
I I thought that the Democrat litmus test on this was that whatever we did had to lower prices tomorrow.
Otherwise, it was a waste of time.
It's not going to affect gasoline price tomorrow.
We can't drill.
What happened to that?
What the hell happened to the mantra?
What the hell happened to the litmus test?
That's what the Messiah says.
The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama has not changed his position on offshore drilling.
He has.
When did he not yet?
He hasn't, he has done so yet.
He's still out there talking it's coming.
But he's still out there talking about it's not going to produce any gasoline or oil tomorrow.
We either do something that lowers prices tomorrow, we do nothing.
This is from the people who have orgasms over raising cafe standards.
Thirteen years in the future.
Cars that won't roll off the assembly line in ten years.
And they're all excited about their cafe standards.
About Obama and his uh his uh suggestion that you start teaching your children Spanish.
Fine and dandy, but I have some other languages I think they should learn first.
Such as your kids, and they should learn it from you if they're not learning it in school, the odds are pretty good they're not learning it there.
The language of economists.
To be able to translate phrases like supply and demand and understand their meaning.
The language of scientists and climatologists.
Be able to listen in on their conversations when they talk about water vapor being by far the number one greenhouse gas, and that carbon dioxide is necessary for plant life and makes up less than point zero four percent of the atmosphere.
They need to learn the language of mathematicians so we can understand them when they tell us that social security is a shell game and it's going broke.
Your kids need to learn the language of terrorists, so we don't get fooled again into thinking America is responsible for their endless thirst for mass murder.
And that we take them seriously when they make their promises.
We need to teach them the language of Mahmood Ahmadinizad, which is a subset of terrorism.
When Ahmadinizad says he's going to nuke Israel, he means it.
He means he wants to.
And we need to teach them the language of the Messiah so that when we hear the Messiah talk about change, we know that sometimes they're speaking the language of liberals, socialists, and Marxists.
And we need to then teach them the language of liberals, socialists, and Marxists.
There are a number of languages our kids should learn first, and then we can move on to Espanyol.
And then after Espanyol, we can move on to Francais.
And then after that, we'll all try to learn to speak female.
Kathy in Las Vegas.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
How are you?
Fine, never better.
Oh, good.
I love your show.
Listen to you every time I can.
Appreciate that.
Um I have a question for you.
Do you think Israel will retaliate against Iran while Bush is in office?
Uh well, it's possible.
I don't think they'll do it before the election.
No.
They had nothing to retaliate against yet.
These are just test firings of missiles.
They don't have no payloads on them.
Uh uh they had no payloads on them, and they were they just they just they just look at this.
This was you know, we I mean, with the threat, we men have an expression to ex you know that explain what what went on here.
And I can't, I can't, this is summertime the children are out of school here, but they're just, you know, this this was just I mean, it's serious, don't misunderstand.
Right.
I just they're trying to prove that they can do it, that they've got the missiles, plus what if they put a little nuke material in the warhead, you know, worrying about what they're doing with their uranium and so forth.
You know, Ahmedine is just saying, hey, I'm not a midget here.
Right.
Well, when I unzip, I'm plenty powerful, that's what he's saying.
It's about the closest I can come to explain how we men describe what this is.
Yeah.
And some women.
It's the old size matters argument, and he launched nine of these missiles here, and he's trying to show that these guys, you know, that his country is not some backwards little po dunk that uh they got weapons too.
Right.
But what I'm trying to say too, though, if I was Israel, I I I you know, I would take the threat serious.
And I would go, I would they do, but oh, believe me.
But and why don't they just what would happen, Rush, if they just shot him down?
I mean, if they just went after him.
Uh I mean, really, what's the word?
Well, no, no, no, what if they if if they shot down the missiles?
Well, if they just went after Iran and took out their nuclear if they went after the two nuclear sites primarily, uh, if they went after those, um I you know what I mean It's tough, it's tough to predict.
I mean, I I think when they when they took out uh Saddam's reactor back in the eighties, nobody did anything except condemn it.
And there would be plenty of security council condemnation.
The Russians would get all mad, Chicoms would get all mad.
Whether anybody would do anything about it is doubtful because the Israelis probably have nukes.
Right.
Look, Israel cannot be.
I'm sorry, what was what were you gonna say?
No, no, no, I'm just saying, I mean, if uh you take the threat serious, and if I was the little people, I mean, you know, Israel, how much more do you take?
And if you're gonna have any support right now, it'd be with Bush, I would believe.
And you know, whether you think you have that you'd have to assume they have nuclear on that for them to reach to you know, hit them.
So why not just bomb them?
You know what I'm saying?
And worst comes to worst.
Right now, I would hope that the United States would step in and help them and get rid of that little nut over there.
What if something like this happens?
Um I'll just just wild guess here.
If something like this happens, the Iranians won't know for sure who hit them.
There won't be any fingerprints that anybody can find.
The Iranians will automatically suspect a joint operation between the United States and Israel.
But I just it if these di Israel cannot get any more threatened than it is.
This is what people don't understand.
Israel's day, every day, is this kind of thing.
Either Iran is launching rockets or suicide bombers or getting on the buses in Israel.
This is this is life for them.
But this is more serious because the Iranians are working on nuclear tips to those missiles.
And at some point, they're not going to sit around and let it happen.
They'll take care of their own business, but they try to do it without fingerprints.
The glaciers on California's Mount Shasta keep growing.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means the ice up there is expanding.
