Time Text
It's another sizzling summer spectacular from the EIB network.
The Rush Limbaugh program, the most listened to radio talk show in America, serving the country on over 600 fine, fabulous, great radio stations.
Coming up on our 20th anniversary on August 1st.
Nice to have you with us, my friend.
I think it's a Friday this year.
Telephone number if you'd like to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushbo, EIB net.com.
I want to go back to the Iranian missile launch last week.
We now know that they faked the whole thing.
They photoshopped some of the pictures.
Several American drive-by news operations got fooled.
There weren't nearly as many missiles fired in the pictures as it appeared.
But not only that, ladies and gentlemen, Iran's missile test last week demonstrated no new capabilities, and may not have included one of the longer range Sahab III missiles or whatever it was called that Iran said was among those launched.
That's the one that could supposedly hit uh Israel.
Now, what's interesting the two things about this that are interesting to me.
Remember last week, right before this test, we were talking about the plummeting price of oil.
It had gone down ten bucks.
Remember that?
I have I have a website here with a constant oil price on it, light crude.
It had dropped, I think what, seven or eight dollars in a day, it was down ten dollars over a very short period number of days.
And then all of a sudden they launched some missiles and say got a brand new long-range missile.
We had wiped uh Israel off the map, and the oil price just jacked right back up.
So now it's uh look 144, 145 uh dollars.
And you know, I I did I did some research here, uh, ladies and gentlemen, into the uh Iranian economy.
When they when they did this fake show of strength with these phony missiles, oil price went up to 146 or 147, but that their economy is in tank.
According to um uh Iranian official figures from a website that I found, unemployment in Iran is between eight and ten percent.
The inflation rate recently surpassed twenty-five percent in Iran.
I mean, this guy, Ahmadineizad is Jimmy Carter too.
Obama would be Jimmy Carter three.
However, economists estimate that real unemployment rate in Iran exceeds twenty percent, and that the real inflation level is at least forty percent.
Experts say that economic sanctions on Iran have harmed the country's economy in more than one way.
Excuse me, wrong button there, broadcast engineer.
Now, these big oil prices, high oil prices are the only thing keeping Iran solvent.
One of the articles I found notes that Western countries are helping it get its oil out of the ground.
Iran said it needs as much as a hundred billion dollars to develop its energy sector in order to significantly increase gas and oil export.
Without investments from major Western energy companies, it's unlikely that Iran can raise the money to develop its oil and gas fields anytime soon.
But because of the sanctions, Iran or its agents cannot buy advanced Western technology both to develop its energy industry and other sectors.
Uh for example, Iran cannot obtain Boeing or Airbus aircraft.
They have to rely on outdated Russian stuff.
So the bottom line is this.
Iran cannot defend itself.
It is headed toward bankruptcy.
All it has is smoke and mirrors, and of course, the most merciful Messiah, Lord Obama, who wants to talk to them and legitimize them.
They are dying to meet with the most merciful Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, in order to buy time and cut a deal, maybe stay afloat.
And of course, the most merciful Messiah, Lord Obama, wants to meet with Iran.
So they do the fake missile launch, uh, and that uh it results in the price right back up, and it is still there on what?
The experts said on fears of instability of Middle Eastern oil supply if Iran launches a strike against Israel.
Which they can't do.
Now I mentioned this earlier in the program.
It was just a few weeks ago that the Democrats in Congress were railing at big oil, telling us that big oil was responsible for high prices, and that Congress, Congress would be taken charge.
Remember Maxine Waters?
She let the cat out of the bag said they wanted to nationalize the oil companies.
Well, what happened to that solution?
What what what happened to getting even with the speculators?
What happened to taking it to those guys?
Hmm.
What happened to that solution?
Isn't it amazing, my friends, that the scapegoaters in Congress have literally dropped the issue of attacking oil companies now in lieu of oil speculators.
So guess who won the debate with Congress debated the oil executives a few weeks ago?
The oil executives.
They manned up.
The oil executives grew a set, and they finally told Congress the facts of life when it comes to supply demand and overregulation.
And look what happened.
Congress was embarrassed.
Americans have figured out who the real enemy is, and big oil's off the hook because they got the facts out.
As a result, big oil was dropped as a bad guy faster than a negative Lord Obama story.
And oil speculators were instantly declared public enemy number one.
Meanwhile, the speculators simply reacting to fake news.
Out of Iran, fake news promulgated by the U.S. drive-by media.
We can't drive our SUVs as much as we want, by the way.
But the Lord Messiah, Barack Obama, is considering a NASCAR sponsorship.
Did you see this?
What's next?
We're going to find that Lord Obama's favorite restaurants and all you can eat buffet while he's telling us we can't eat as much as we want.
Speaking of the SUVs, I told you I hate to be and I told you so.
But I oh, global warming stack.
Try these headlines.
Why climate change affects women more than men?
Schwarzenegger blasts Bush on global warming.
But I'm told that Schwarzenegger is even thinking about proposing himself as uh Obama's uh energy czar.
No, I'm sure I've heard that.
He wants to be Obama's energy czar.
Uh SUV love story comes to sad end.
Can I take you back to 1996 when the Sierra Club first mounted its attack on SUVs?
And I warned you.
They're not going to rest until they can get you out of yours.
And there are going to be stories about how dangerous and destructive, how filthy, how unfair, all of those things they are.
And you poo-pooed me.
You said, come on, Rush, the SUV.
There's no leftist group get rid of SUVs.
We're going to buy what we want to buy.
Really?
Take a spin by an automobile dealership.
By hooker by crook, be it's a gasoline price or whatever, people are not buying them as much.
And they're trying to offload the ones that they have.
And so here we come with the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The golden age of the big SUV has come to a rapid end.
This is the second such story from these punks in the drive-bys that I have seen celebrating this.
Surging gasoline prices are making tens of thousands of Americans reconsider their desire for even bigger SUVs, with the largest fuel-hungry vehicles turning from status symbols to expensive burdens.
Sales of full-sized utility vehicles in the past three months dropped to less than half what they were at their national peak in 2002.
And lower than they have been in at least 13 years.
As recently as three years ago, light trucks and SUVs made up 55% of the new vehicle market.
Okay, fine.
They're all happy.
SUV comes to a love story, at least.
The love story has come to you hate your SUVs now.
So that's the first step toward you getting rid of your SUV.
But remember, remember all these stories we've had.
These SUVs are not going to let you kick It out of the garage just like that.
These things have minds of their own.
Well, maybe they've driven people off the sixth-floor parking garages.
They've flipped off of interstate highway bridges.
They've run over people.
They've backed into people's houses.
No mention of ever having been driven.
They just did it on their own.
This was part of the campaign to get you hating the SUV.
I still talking about SUVs.
I'm still I'm still sitting here struck by how quickly Congress dropped.
And by the way, the SUV is going to be back.
Our economy is going to be back, and at some point the gasoline price is going to rationalize with everything else in the cost of living, and the SUVs are going to be back.
Mark my words.
All these drive-bys and leftists who think they've killed the SUV dead wrong.
Don't doubt me.
I just find it amazing, folks, how quickly members of Congress and the Democrat Party dropped blaming big oil for the prices of gasoline and have moved on to the speculators.
What a breathtaking quickness took place here.
Shifting blame from big oil to the oil speculators.
I mean, it's a given that Democrat policies will never be examined regarding that or any other issue.
So there's always going to be a distraction, and the Democrats are always going to need a demon.
So does this mean that the decades of endless investigations and public rebukes and condemnations of big oil have been wrong?
Seriously, folks, these are our members of Congress.
These are the guys that pass the laws and then act like spectators.
These are the guys that gave us the subprime problem.
These are the guys that create all this.
These are the guys that won't drill for oil.
These are the guys that cause runs on banks like Charles Chuck Hugh Schumer.
And they sit around and get to act like spectators.
Now all of a sudden, they drop the hot potato of big oil.
Does this mean they've been wrong all these years?
Does it mean it's been a total waste of taxpayer money to go after big oil all these years?
How many millions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on investigations and big show hearings, show trials targeting big oil?
They were going on in the 1970s.
How many hundreds of millions of dollars has it been?
How many millions of the oil companies had to spend defending themselves?
And the countless hours of favorable news coverage at the same time, devoted to Democrats showboating on TV, acting as prosecutor, judge, and jury with their declarations that big oil was ripping off Americans and getting filthy rich with their ill-gotten windfall profits.
Whatever became of all that.
Is that now just inoperative?
Because it's the speculators' fault.
Big oil was guilty until proven innocent, and there would be no innocence.
There is no innocence in oil prices.
Somebody's guilty.
They're going to find somebody to get you mad at.
And now it's the speculators.
Somehow we just can't bring ourselves to call up Ahmadineizad and say, pal, you know, you keep heading this direction.
And we're going to tighten these sanctions on you, and you're going to be able to export none of your oil out of there.
And they don't have any refineries in Iran.
They have to import gasoline.
Did you know that?
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
You know, there's a little facts here that I have in possession of that if I shared it with you, we can we could probably cause a firestorm out there in many progressive liberal locales.
Now, I'm sure many we've talked about the amount of fuel in pounds.
417 million pounds of tanker fuel for two operations in Iraq.
417 million pounds a pound of jet gas, six and a half gallons.
417 million Pounds is enough fuel for you to drive two and a half times to the sun without a refill or fuel up.
Now, such a lot of fuel.
That's a huge carbon footprint out there.
But you know, some people don't think about this.
We have aircraft carriers.
A lot of nations have aircraft carriers, and we have the best.
We have big ones.
And those airplanes have to land on those aircraft carriers, and they don't have much room.
That's why they're tail hooks.
These guys come in full power.
It's called power on landing, something like that.
In case they miss the hook, or something else goes wrong, they gotta be able to have the thrust to get back up and come around.
They also cannot land with anywhere near a full tank of fuel because of weight restrictions and other safety features.
You don't want one of these fighter jets returning from a mission fully loaded.
So what do they do with the fuel, folks?
What did these returning brave handsome pilots perhaps having just refueled from an Air Force tanker, flown a little mission, did not use as much of the fuel as they took on, because you fill up.
Can't take any chances out there.
What do they do with the fuel?
What do they do with the fuel?
It's an aircraft carrier.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means it's on the ocean, which is water.
It is displacing water.
It's moving around out there.
My friends, I hate to tell you this, but many returning fighter jets simply dump their jet gas in the ocean.
Right down on Flipper.
Right down on Willie the whale.
Whoever, whatever's down there.
I've uh I've I've been told by aircraft uh carrier pilots that they've probably dumped more fuel in the ocean than they have used in their career.
It's something that simply must be done.
Now let's think about the reaction to this fact, this little news, in the deep dark, sinister corners of left-wing Blocville.
Well, it's not just war as hell.
Think of the environmentalist wack's on learning this.
I mean, the carbon footprints are giving them a heartache and a headache and a and a stroke.
But now, unused fuel sometimes is dumped into our pristine and very brave oceans.
Meanwhile, Ted Danson's been telling us since 1988 that the oceans had ten years to live and we were dead if we didn't do anything about them.
Now they've added another ten years to this.
Saw a story on sea and ended, I think it was C. Some people, apparently there's a little oil washed up on shore somewhere.
And so some people, you know, went out there to do their good civic duty as human beings, and some dawn dishwashing detergent and some paper towels, and they're trying to clean the oil off of the rocks and so forth and out of the sand.
I'm just laughing at this.
And they ran a little crawl that said 63% of all oil in the ocean is due to natural seepage.
Which is also true, comes on the ocean floor, seeps up there, and the ocean, I mean, it ocean's vicious stuff, eats it up.
Eats it up, spits it out, or whatever you far more powerful than we are.
I think it's probably even more than 63%, because there aren't that many oil spills, other than, of course, these fighter pilots dumping their jet fuel.
Here is uh I love passing this.
I just love tweaking the new castrati.
Oh, yeah, poor flipper, poor poor poor Willy the whale, whatever the what wasn't the whale's name?
Willie.
What free willy.
Yeah.
And who knows whatever else is out there?
Probably some octopus has been uh, you know, hit.
You never know what's out there.
Here is uh Steve in Richmond, Virginia.
Hi, Steve.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Thanks, Rush.
I'm a 17-year listener, and I thanks for all your input for us to us, and thanks for exposing us to Tony Snow and his ability to really transcend his ego.
That's why he was so down to earth.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I'm a stay-at-home working dad.
And my son just turned eight years old, and I'm really concerned about his future and his freedom.
Yeah, um, the bailout.
The bailout to me is another vehicle of the government.
To exercise additional uh encroachments on our freedoms.
Hey, Steve, can you hang on?
I I misread the clock when I took your call.
I thought I had a minute and a half, and I didn't have I just had 45 seconds.
You gotta go.
Uh hang on, we'll continue this because this this is uh important topic, and I'm glad you called on it, because after all, I only spent the first hour on it.
It's about time somebody responded.
My ego could get hurt if I weren't so strong.
All right, back to Stephen Richmond, Virginia.
Thank you, uh sir, for the continuing to hold on.
Eight-year-old son, you're worried about future with the uh all these bailouts.
Just his freedoms, too, not just uh it comes down to big oil, right?
Government is attacking big oil.
What about us attacking government for a big bailout?
And the bailout being just another vehicle to encroach upon our freedoms.
I mean, that's the end game.
Punish and control society.
What do you think?
Yeah, I know this this is this troubles me greatly.
Uh this I I I as I hey, I spent a large part of the first hour discussing this.
All of these bailouts is getting the point now that there isn't any risk.
That whoever takes a risk doesn't really view it as such because there's it's gonna be it's gonna be bailed out.
The bottom line, we Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are classic to me.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are they they they exist in in in an impossible universe?
They are government-owned private businesses.
It just and they they pay no taxes, the SEC can't look at them.
They are immune from any regulatory structure uh examination.
They have theoretically a limitless supply of money, and they're going broke.
What in the government isn't going broke?
And what was the purpose of Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae?
Why do we need two?
Why wasn't Fannie Mae good enough?
Why then did we need Freddie Mack?
Was it because of political correctness and gender equity?
Why did we need two of these?
Why did we ever need more than the FHA?
FHA used to make no down payment loans or low interest loans to people that couldn't afford a 20%.
They still do.
FA.
Okay, so the VA and the FHA, then we got Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
And Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, how in the world can you have a a government-owned private business?
But that's that's the best way to explain it.
And they're in they're in deep doo-doo.
So we gotta bail them out.
I mean, two there's too much too many people have borrowed money to buy their houses from the government.
This is not by accident.
The people who set these agencies up, we've been trying to tell people for years and years and years the whole purpose of a lot of people in government is to get as many people dependent on it as possible.
That's why the whole notion of self-reliance, people sneer when you discuss it.
Oh, yeah.
Easy for you to say.
Well, you walk a mile of ice and find out about self-reliance.
Well, a lot of people have.
When you become when you become dependent on the government, not just for your needs.
I mean, that's bad enough.
But when you start depending on the government for your wants, folks.
And when the government's always there, even when you botch it, even when you make a lousy decision with government money, they're gonna bail you out.
That's what this they they can't they can't afford to let this go south.
No offense.
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee.
They can't they can't they can't allow this to happen.
And so as I've been, as I have been brilliantly pointing out all day, these renegade conservatives who want a big active government interested in people's lives, ought to be celebrating today because we've got it.
And the problem is the people that do not end up investing in government or taking government money or having the government support them are gonna end up paying for it for everybody else.
So it it encircles and entwines uh virtually everyone.
Kevin in Bozeman, Montana.
It's great to have you with us on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, mega big sky dittoes.
Thanks very much, sir.
Uh Absolute pleasure to talk to you.
Hey, I wanted to touch on something you um give you a comment on something you said earlier about uh AP article where they're valuing human life, and they they put it at what six and a half million or something.
Six point nine million.
The government has now valued each American life of six point nine million down a million from two years ago.
Well, what do you what do you think of this?
I think they're starting to put that out so it to tie it to um you know our our the socialized medicine that we're probably gonna be getting.
Well, that's exactly it's how you can compute the value of medical.
It's the whole reason the EPA is doing it.
So they can compute the value of benefits and the amount of benefits and how they can shortchange people on it.
Well, your life's not worth as much as it used to be.
You don't need as many health benefits.
You don't need it.
And then they'll start breaking it down to the first 25 years, the second 25 years, the third 25 years, and the fourth.
And then what we'll say is, well, by the fourth 25 years, if you're 80, your your life is really only worth 100,000, and if you need a procedure that's 250,000, well, you're out of luck.
Right.
Yeah, because you've long since you outlived your value and usefulness to your government.
And now that you need uh uh surgery here that will sustain your life another two years, we have decided we don't need you another two years.
You've already been useful, we've used you up, so we're not gonna pay for it.
You're dealing with yeah, and and they're introducing it to us slowly the way they do.
They incrementally give us this stuff so we digest it and people are like, oh, you're crazy.
That's not what they're doing, but they slowly dribbs and drabs, they they give it to us until it's like, oh, okay, it uh eighty year olds only worth a hundred thousand dollars, apparently.
But a lot of people listening to this out there, Kevin, think that we're taking this a little far that we are exaggerating.
Our government would never say to a seasoned citizen, you need a 200,000 dollar procedure, but our charts uh show you're only worth a hundred grand to us, sorry.
It could happen.
Folks, if we are broke now, if we are having to bail out, we haven't even gotten to health care yet.
We haven't even propped, we haven't even gotten to national health care.
Can you imagine paying single payer socialized medicine?
Can you imagine getting to that on top of this?
And you think you're gonna get decent care just because you don't have to pay for it?
You are gonna be paying for it in more ways than one, but can you imagine piling another entitlement or anything on the m on top of the mess that we have now?
What are we gonna call the new national health care program?
Health Mac?
We've got Fanny Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Health Mac.
What are we gonna call these things?
We haven't even gotten there yet.
I mean, seriously.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Macon promise to give everybody a house.
They just commit to make it available to some people who otherwise couldn't get a loan.
But uh, you know, national health care single payer is gonna guarantee everybody health care.
We can't even afford, we can't.
No, I didn't see that.
I didn't see Snerdley's telling me the reason why there was some dead air.
Dead air never hurt anybody, folks, so don't worry about it.
Sterley was telling me a story, some woman fell over in a hospital for 40 minutes.
New York City, people just kept walking, city hospitals kept walking by her, and it's kind of like that video out of Connecticut where the guy gets hit by the car and everybody just watches him, you know, uh unconsciously in the middle of the street.
Or how about that woman got caught in the elevator for three hours and uh and died?
Nurses, doctors, 40 minutes just walking around the guy in the New York hospital.
No, I missed that uh video.
I did not did not see it.
Let's see.
Hemet, California.
Vern, thank you, sir, for calling.
You're up next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Oh, Rush Libball, Rush Lindbaugh, God bless you, Rush Lindbaugh.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Um you've also made me laugh a lot, and I just wanted in that vein, you were talking about the bailouts this morning.
And there's a number of institutions.
You know, we're gonna bail out Freddie Mac and Sandy Mae.
Why don't we uh why don't we bail out liberal talk radio?
And uh Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
They've been trying.
Do you know how many idiot investors have infused money into that bottomless pit over and every time they do it, the drive-by media salivates.
And they report every new investment.
That's been tried two or three times.
I got another one.
Uh, how about organized crime?
They they took a big hit in the 80s and 90s uh from investigations and prosecutions.
Why don't we help them?
You know, there's another American institution.
And then while we're at it, you know, how about us?
How about me?
I just took you talk about how I just uh my own personal stock dropped a million in just one year.
Uh how about me?
Well, you you've lost some significant uh equity in the uh in the stock market.
No, no, I lost my own personal.
You said uh the value of a life dropped one million from uh 7.9 to 7.9.
Bail you out, make up the difference since it's the government claiming your value has shrunk.
Anyway, that was uh that was my contribution to today.
And you know, I've got one on a trucker here in LA.
I've got one thing that I write on the back of my trailer.
Yeah.
Instead of save the planet, I've got use the planet.
So uh I wanted to pass that off.
Well, that's what the hell it's for here.
That's right, it's our birthright.
Anyway, all right, good buddy, I gotta hit the trail here because it's time for a windfall EIB profit timeout.
We'll be back right after this.
See, we're Mahmood Achmondini's uh coming back to the United States uh this fall for another United Nations General Assembly meeting.
That's just a cover.
He's coming into campaign for Obama.
He's gonna facilitate that meeting.
All right, uh, let's see, Kathy in Williamsville, New York.
Uh, great.
Hi, Rush.
How are you doing?
It's gonna be hard to make a serious point after that soccer commercial.
That's very funny.
Thank you very much.
You know, we have we have ended up with a society where all the people that work in government, all the politicians, the teachers, the firemen, the policemen, all of our state governments, municipalities, and we are in a very heavily uh governed area here in western New York.
All of them are living inside the castle walls.
And all of us, all everybody else is living outside of the castle walls.
And all of the rules they make protect them.
Well, our people, the public employee, they can retire at 55 here, and they live to 85.
Yeah, but you know, even that.
I know what you're saying, and and conceptually, theoretically, you're right on the money.
But was it with Vallejo, California?
I had the story about a month ago.
They can't pay their pension promises to the cops and some of the other city employees, and they're offloading the program, and these politicians made these promises to these city employees, and that's what got them elected and re-elected, and they can't afford it.
Look at I'm telling they can make all these promises, but all these, you know, the the this this paying people money when they're no longer working, when they're no longer productive, and of course, that's you know, an arguable concept of the government employee anyway.
Uh it isn't gonna be there.
Well, New York is slated to go bankrupt first, and we are we are a state that shrunk in population and grew in government workers again.
And I don't understand why they don't get that this model's not gonna work.
Because th well, there's a simple human nature answer for that.
And that is until it happens to them, it's not happening.
Well, they're just they're just saying, well, it's not gonna happen in my lifetime, so it doesn't matter.
That's what it is.
That's what the car is.
That's true too, because this the things that this generation, a couple of generations before us have caused, they're trying to insulate themselves from dealing with.
Well, I'll tell you, I know the car companies, we have GM and Ford here, and my dad used to sell to them, and I said, What were they thinking?
He said they were thinking that by the time that it all crumbles, I'll be retired.
And that's it.
These people that are in office right now, I know in our state capital.
They just don't think it's gonna happen in their lifetime, so who cares?
I know.
I know there are a lot of people outside government think that too.
They really do.
Look, that's great.
Kathy, I appreciate the call.
She mentioned GM Dawn.
I thought that we were getting the new GM car last week.
We're supposed to maybe today or tomorrow.
We're getting this new, you know, GM, let's just drive these new hot cars around here that they uh have coming off the assembly line.
What is the the Saturn View Hybrid?
We drove the uh the Tahoe hybrid, the SUV, which Dawn Love felt as a babe magnet, and we drove the Saturn Astra.
And up next is the Saturn View Hype.
This is it's like a it's like a crossover.
I saw a picture of it.
It's it's it's it's a small version of a crossover 32 miles to the gallon on the highway, and you don't have to dump the fuel when you pull into the garage like you'd have to dump the fuel when you're gonna land on an aircraft carrier.
We love General Motors here.
They've they're they're uh great American institution, they're dealing with obstacles uh like like a lot of uh countries and companies are, and they're trying to come up with uh products that meet demand and customer preference.
And uh we think they're doing it because they let this let us drive these things over that the hot the the the hybrid Tahoe uh everybody says the SUV is dead, the drive-by's do, but it's not.
The gas mileage on that was what, 22 to 24, something like that, I think you said, or that I've read someplace.
Anyway, the Saturn View Hybrid's supposed to be here today or tomorrow.
Then we'll start reporting on it.
EPA estimate 32 million 32 miles to the uh to the gallon.
You go to Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh.com, because we've got a uh a section there for all the information on the Saturn View and every other fine General Motors vehicle that we know about.
Jim and Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, Surging Ditto from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Thank you, sir very much.
Hey, look, Rush, instead of those pilots dumping their fuel on Flipper, why don't they fly around and find some uh something else to strafe or bomb?
Find something else some well, because a lot of times they're out over the ocean.
I got you.
Like in World War II, those guys on coming back from Germany went down low on the deck and found trains and trucks and things.
You mean like just to put an exclamation point on the Well, that was back in the day.
We didn't fight wars under the um under the rules of political correctness then.
We fight wars under the terms of political correctness now.
In fact, it's gotten so bad if our bombs get too close to the target, it's a demerit.
Too close to the target might kill innocent civilians and children and women and minorities.
So uh the farther me they miss the target, the less likely that is the case.
Uh I'm making obviously an exaggeration.
But there weren't there weren't any uh political correct rules.
And I I think also that there is the uh the notion of conserving the ordnance concerning the uh the bomb supply.
Be glad to dump the the the gas on flipper.
But we're not gonna waste those bombs.
They're gonna save those bombs for rockets for whenever they're uh they're worthwhile.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Well, it's possible I mean uh I've just been asked if any sea turtles may have been damaged by uh by gas dumped in the oceans by jet fighters landing on carriers.
You know, it would depend on the migration route uh of the sea turtle.
Look into that.
It it this could explain why the sea turtle has, and this hasn't even been proven, but it could explain why the sea turtle has now evolved to the point of stupidity rather than a little baby hatchlings going to the ocean, which is right there in front of them.
They go to lights.
That might be because of jet fuel being dumped in their environment.
I'll have to check that out.
Quick, what do you call a government owned private business?
Fascism.
Government owned private business, fascism.
Check out the new deal for the roots to this.
