Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program have simply dazzled and scintillated the country.
The views expressed by the host on this program may not necessarily be those of the staff management or sponsors of this station.
They should be and they will be.
Great to be with you, ladies and gentlemen.
I am your host.
The all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, Maharushi.
800 282-2882.
The phone number will get to your calls quickly in this hour.
I promise, since we didn't get to the inn in the uh in the first hour.
The um, oh, one of the things I was going to mention to you in the last hour about the whole thing I was thinking about last night, the shallowness and the lack of substance in this presidential campaign.
It just did really hit me last night when I got home and I was thinking about the show yesterday, especially the first hour and a half of it, totally devoted to this insane, ludicrous proposition that properly inflated tires is a central, central, central aspect of an energy policy.
And I think is this the best we can do?
Is this the best we can do?
And it found a story from the Associated Press today that that sort of dovetails with the whole notion here that we've just got a plastic banana good time rock and roller presidential campaign going on.
Listen to this.
John McCain's favorite television commander in chief plays the first black U.S. president.
Just the role Democrat Barack Obama is looking to fill.
You know, I hope that I and all Americans can be colorblind about my president, said McCain when asked about the similarities between Obama and President Palmer on Fox's 24.
So we have a presidential candidate.
That means for those of you in real end, we have a guy running for the office of President of the United States comparing Obama to a fictional character on a television show.
24.
Saying, I hope we can all be colorblind.
McCain said that he likes President Palmer, who is a fictitious character.
Played by the actor Dennis Haysbert.
Hayesbert, by the way, is a nut.
Hazbert thinks that Bush knew that the planes are flying into the towers.
He might think Bush did it on purpose himself.
I mean, he's Hayesbert.
Nice guy.
I ran and run into a couple golf terms, but he is way out there.
He's he laughably way out there.
But he's an actor.
And he's never been president, and he's never run for president.
McCain is saying that he likes President Palmer, and there's never been a President Palmer.
He likes President Palmer because he makes tough decisions.
He takes charge.
He's ready to sacrifice his interest on behalf of the interest of the country.
We are we are talking about an actor.
We're talking about an actor who's never been.
talking about script writers who put words in an actor's mouth.
Practicing restraint here again.
Ladies and gentlemen.
You know, McCain McCain did a set visit to the show 24.
He had a little cameo role in it a couple years ago.
And I wonder if he met Haysbert.
I wonder if he went up to President Palmer.
You know, I really admire the way you handle that crisis in episode six.
What was it like?
I mean, hey, can you share with me about how tough it was?
Yeah, Will, Senator, we didn't get it right till the tenth take.
But we finally got it down.
I knew I saw I saw I saw you the final result.
Masterful very sad about what happened to your wife and that uh serious your wife turned on you.
How'd you deal with that?
Moving on, in separate interviews with Entertainment Weekly, McCain and Obama discuss their pop culture picks, films that choked them up as kids, and who handles a remote control at their homes.
The interviews appear in the issue that hits newsstands Friday.
Obama says he has some clout with the remote when he's at home with his wife Michelle and their two daughters.
He says I'm not home a lot, so Michelle is usually willing to give it up.
Said Obama.
The only time I grab for the remote is when a game is on.
I'm not home a lot.
The guy with the wife guy, his wife, his wife is willing to well.
Wife is willing to give it up.
I think he's talking about the remote here, Snerdley.
He's not talking.
Your mind out of the gutter.
Five seconds would be helpful.
We're talking about the Democrat presidential candidate and the remote control habits inside the family domicile.
Everybody knows the women control a remote in every house because they hate it when the guys channel surf.
They don't like channel surfing.
They want to pick one thing and stick with it even through the commercials.
Anyway, he said Barack Obama said his television is usually tuned to HGTV.
That, my friends, is the home and garden cable network.
And Obama says I suffer that silently.
Okay, so they got the home and garden network on and the Obama household.
No wonder he's not there much.
But hey, Barack, do you have another TV so you can go to the other TV when the game is on rather than somebody sit there with a pick and a hoe and plot some grass?
Uh said is uh McCain said he and his wife, Cindy, compete for the command of the remote control.
McCain says, sometimes I win the arm wrestling contest, but foolishly she continues to try to assert her control over the remote.
This is a battle that will continue for a long time.
And both candidates' spouses watch American Idol.
So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the kind of thing I mean, get the story about who watches what the remote control, who has control over the remote control, and this kind of thing.
It's just can we do any better?
It's not like it's not like we're in a uh an era here of peace where we're suffering no threats, where nobody has any grievances against us.
It's not as though we live in a time where liberals have been defeated and can no longer destroy the America we know and love.
I mean, all these things are happening.
And we get treated to guys that know more than God about the weather, that know more about health care than the people in that business, and the New York Times.
The New York Times is writing editorials on energy policy and condemning big oil for making profits, when in fact the New York Times is demonstrating it cannot make a profit.
It cannot run its business profitably.
And how dare they tell anybody else how to do it?
But they are liberals, and even though they've never done any of the things that they claim need to be done, they say they have all of the answers.
And this reduces itself to arguments over who gets the remote control in the house and tire gauges to keep your tires inflated, so we don't have to drill for oil.
We've got to be able to do better than this.
We just have to, and then.
Today I wake up and I find out that Obama's out there bashing our country to a seven-year-old little girl at a town meeting.
Got to be able to do better than this.
And we're back.
Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Look at it, it's come down to this.
You know, we did our we did our side by side AB side by side comparison, Paris Hilton discussing her economic and energy plan versus Laura Tyson on Obama's staff discussing his plan.
When Paris Hilton, an empty vessel into whom words were poured, she memorized them though.
When Paris Hilton sounds smarter than the Obama advisor on energy.
then you know we have succeeded in defining dumbness down.
It's just happened.
And And I'm having this dream, ladies and gentlemen.
McCain out doing the set visit at twenty-four talking to President Palmer, portrayed by actor, Dennis Hayesbert.
And by the way, it's gone to Hazbert's head, too.
He thinks he set the stage for the Obama presidency.
He said that a number of weeks ago.
He did.
It's all gone to these guys' heads.
So McCain's talking to President Haysbert, fictional character.
Say, you've got to tell me, how'd you handle that crisis in episode six?
And Haysbert says, I called in Jack Bauer.
He didn't have any McCain amendments to worry about.
He just went out and got the bad guys and we won.
We can dream.
Now to the phones, we go, and uh this is uh Kendrick in Gaston, Alabama.
Kendrick, nice that you called.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, how are you doing?
Good.
I'm doing fine.
Oh, you waiting on my statement.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't ready for you.
Uh uh.
That's that's okay.
You got the radio on by any chance, because if you do, you need to turn it down.
Yeah, I'm upstairs, yes, sir, but the radio is on downstairs.
Okay, well, you can't hear it, though.
No, sir.
Okay, good.
Well, it's great to have you here, Kendrick.
What'd you call about?
Uh, I wanted to agree with your statement that America is a great place with great opportunities, but I also believe that African Americans deserve time to heal psychologically and gain more trust in this country.
Approximately 40 years ago, African Americans great injustice in um the South.
And I think it is going to take time for us to embrace this country as you feel we should.
I can't understand why this is isn't logical to people with more intellect than I have, honestly.
Uh no, it's not that it's not logical.
But because if you if you want to if you want to discuss it in a psychological sense, uh but like it's like I would ask Obama, and you agree it's a great place.
I would say when when was America better than it is today?
Was it better?
I mean, if there was a time, I I should say uh possibly when the pilgrims are when they first came over, when there were uh indentance servants instead of just slavery.
So I d that would be my opinion.
So you gotta go back to the pilgrims to find when this country that wasn't even a country then.
I well, I could say when it was great for us, uh for my answer.
No, I'm not I can't say that we shared in the same way.
No, no, no, no.
See, this is not an us versus them question.
This is you I I'm not asking when it was better for you.
He's talking about the country at large.
When was it better?
Well, see, that that's almost like somebody asking me when was the Celtics game better when I never went to a Celtics game.
That's what I'm saying.
We we we weren't able to participate in this, so how can I say when it was better when the descendants of Wildcrowd?
Well why are you comparing America to a sports team?
Because everything is a game.
It is a game, it's a big game.
Life is a game.
Well, some people can look at that way if you do that's fine, but life is a game, yeah.
You get challenges, you got easy money, bad money, you got to go to jail cards, there's all kinds of stuff that can happen to you in life.
But what what is it what what is so bad now compared to when it was better?
Not not for you, but for for all of us.
Well, honestly, I understand what you're saying, the dangers of an African American president, because they're possibly could be, because of psychological things dealing with this country.
Well, I agree with that.
Okay, but before we had Obama, we had Oprah Winfrey.
I go, I go back to the body.
And arguably Oprah Winfrey is far more powerful and wealthy than Obama is.
But she also is an entertainer, going back to to Bo Jangles stage.
She's an entertainer.
She's not a philosopher or a doctor or a scholar.
She's the entertainer.
Or their audience is a very good thing.
No, no, no.
No, no, we gotta stay on the same page here because I really want to talk to you about this.
Okay to her audience, Obama is a philosopher.
She she may well be a psychologist to her audience.
That's that's she's a self help artist and all this sort of stuff, whatever.
I agree.
And she's learned to cry on cue, which which you know, she can she can command emotional responses from people.
She's uh what what's wrong with being entertainer?
She's she's wealthy.
She's really if we live in such a racist country, how did this happen?
You know, this is this is to say that there hasn't been progress in forty years there's not enough time to heal psychologically.
Did any of the stuff that happened in the eighteen hundreds happen to you?
No, sir, not in the eighteen hundreds.
Did anything that happened in the nineteen hundreds happen to you?
Not to me.
But but psychologists would be a good thing.
What are you what do you have to psychologically recover from?
The environment that I live in.
The environment I live in is totally different than other environments.
When I go to different other neighborhoods, whether it's Jewish, uh European European places, you don't see people standing in front of stores selling drugs.
It's not allowed there.
So many things are not allowed in other neighborhoods, but in my neighborhood, it's just it's it's chaos everywhere.
And the environment plays a great role in what you may become.
It plays it gives odds in it.
And the environment that I stay in is is chaotic.
And it's like we're supposed to overcome and rise above this environment that is very hard to do.
And you know possible though.
But do you think any of that's going to change if Obama's elected president?
Not with people behind him supporting him, no.
I don't think one person can change things that's going on.
I think she takes everyday people to change it.
Okay, so it doesn't matter who the president is in terms of the environment you just described, people standing outside stores selling drugs and so forth.
That's going to go.
No matter who's well then uh then uh what are the people in these neighborhoods and communities doing about this if they know that a first black president's not going to end it?
What are they doing?
They're looking for a great black hope.
They're looking for a great black hope.
Well, how many have there been?
There's been Jesse Jackson, there has been Martin Luther King, there's been Malcolm X. Now there's Obama, there's been Cassius Clay Mohammed Ali.
How many, how many, how many or how many are needed?
That's a good question.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I mean, I'll be honest.
I'll be honest.
I'll be there's no great black hope.
I I agree with you.
There is none.
It takes individuals, I agree.
And it's a waste of time looking for one because looking for one continues this notion of separation.
It does.
Non-integration.
I'm not looking for one.
And it also invests the responsibility for cleaning up messes and improving circumstances on somebody you don't even know.
Rather than on the people that live in this in these neighborhoods.
I agree.
I agree.
But why do you think this stuff isn't tolerated in these other neighborhoods you mentioned, the European neighborhoods and the Jewish neighborhoods, I think you said, why is that stuff?
Why is storefront loitering and selling drugs as you described it?
Why is that not tolerated in those neighborhoods?
Because they don't tolerate it.
Why?
Because of their upbringing.
They they're understood, not not too.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
But see, we also have to understand what the name African American means.
It is it's African descent who took on a culture that was totally misunderstood and forbidden to learn until a certain amount of time, past in years.
And then we were able to learn certain things, so you have to think of the time scale that we're behind.
I'm gonna be don't even know our own culture.
Okay, I want to be brutally honest with you.
Please please do, please.
See, I really feel bad for you, and I I I have it's not sympathy.
Just I I f I'm frustrated.
Because there's a whole country out there that is filled with robust opportunity, and you, if you want to look, can see all kinds of African Americans who have done it, from Bob Johnson at B.E.T. on the left to all of the uh economists and judges that are black on the right, that's nobody's stopping them.
There's there's there's no inherent discriminant.
What what's happening is that you maybe not you personally, but too many people in minority communities in this country are being raised under influences that have you believing by the time you're five or six that life is stacked against you because you're black or you're a minority and you live in America.
And it the sad thing is is that there are people who are profiting, people in your own race who are profiting from that attitude, spreading as far and wide as it can within the minority communities, because as long as you're mad, I'm using the you generically, not specifically.
Understood.
As long as you're mad and angry and feeling inferior, and as long as they're willing to tell you that it's somebody else's fault, and that no matter what you do, you're never going to get out of these circumstances.
Well, I would be mad too if I believe that stuff.
But you've got enough evidence out.
This is what's this is what's amazing about Obama to say this country is not what it once was.
I think every day in this country is better than the day before.
And you've got all this evidence out there of how prosperity is just waiting to be tackled.
It's as we waiting to be pursued.
Uh it's it's there.
The country provides it for anybody who wants to try, and we all have our own obstacles to overcome in pursuing.
Your obstacles happen to be a uh, you know, a slavery tradition that you think requires psychological healing from.
And that may be true, but the problem that uh that I see is that there are too many people that have too much influence over the black community that don't want that psychological healing to take place.
And those people are out there saying even if Obama's elected.
That doesn't mean race relations in this country have changed an iota.
Well, now that is silly.
We will uh stick to the phones for the time being.
Steve in uh Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Rush, it's uh great honor to speak to you.
It's uh it's a dream of mine.
Thank you very much.
Uh I wanted to congratulate you on your twenty-year anniversary, and uh my my father introduced me to your program nearly twenty years ago.
He's a World War II veteran, and uh some of my fondest memories are listening to your show with him.
Wow.
Well, that's cool.
I I appreciate that.
Rush, uh, you know, I'm calling from Purto Bay, and I work for a company that does uh drilling or exploration support for the uh for the oil companies.
Okay.
And um what I wanted to mention is, you know, the Democrat mantra has been uh the oil companies have all these leases secured and they're not doing anything with them.
And uh, you know, Shell Oil has been trying to drill on leases that they secured several years ago, and they've been held up in court by the environmental lobby.
Of course.
And the animal rights people, and the entire left, which mobilizes to prevent any of this.
You know, uh th they've been they've invested an enormous amount of money, uh, outfitting ships to uh to do this work on leases they're paying for.
And uh and and they are active on these leases.
That they're active their activities in the court system.
You know, I have a uh Oh, what did I do with it?
You know, I've got it somewhere here.
I've got four stacks here today.
There is a story of about some people who finally have figured out what the environmentalists it's a UK news.
Yeah, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Let me grab this out here and and and uh share this with you.
This is by Alice Thompson.
It's in the Times of London.
And the headline here, sometime or suddenly, I'm sorry, suddenly being green is not cool anymore.
Julie Birchill can't stand them, according to her new book, not in my name, a compendium of modern hypocrisy, she thinks all environmentalists are poo-faced, unsexy, public school alumni who drivel on about the end of the world because they don't want the working classes to have any fun, go on foreign holidays, or buy cheap clothes.
Basically, the environment the green bunches is a bunch of rich elitists who wants to enforce their own world view on everybody.
Michael O'Leary, the chief executive of Ryan Eyre, agrees in an interview with Rachel Sylvester and me, he told us that the nutbag ecologists are the overindulged rich who have nothing better to do with their lives and talk about hot air and beans.
So the salad days are over.
It's the end of the greens, where only a year ago the smart new eco-warriors were revered.
Wormeries and unbleached cashmere genes are now seen as middle class indulgence.
But the problem for the green lobby isn't that it has been overrun by toughs.
It's the chilly economic climate that has frozen the shoots of environmentalism.
Espousing the green life with its misshapen vegetables and nondisposable nappies is increasingly being seen as a luxury by everybody.
Now that everybody and people are fighting for their own survival rather than their grandchildren's survival, uh they put crime, the economy, and rising prices at the top of their list.
Meaning economic matters are trumping all of this.
So uh it's just a it's a small little step, but it's in the UK paper, and finally these environmentalists and these greenies are being accurately portrayed uh as who and for what they are.
Robert in Detroit, you're next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Uh hey, Rush.
Hey.
Hello?
Yeah, hi.
How are you doing?
Uh I'm glad you uh took my call.
Um, you know, I've been uh, you know, listening to you uh for you know, I don't know, probably about this political season.
And um, you know, basically the thing with the uh the oil.
Uh the whole right wing is uh making this whole thing uh with uh drilling for oil, and of course Americans definitely want uh relief from these high oil prices.
But let's face it, um the only reason that you guys are making this a topic is because you tried to bring Barack down with Jeremiah Wright.
That was a failure.
Operation Chaos was a complete failure.
It um let me see.
Uh you tried to make the man a Muslim.
That was a complete failure.
Nothing that you guys have tried, I mean, has really worked.
And so, you know, now that we are at this point, the man is definitely going to be the president.
I also want to add, before it's all said and done here, that just get over it, Rush.
I mean, you know, you have uh can put on the radio an onslaught of the most ridiculous crap that I have ever heard.
Like Americans are not Americans are now wait a minute.
Now you've gone too far.
Americans are wait just a second.
You've gone too far.
We don't do it.
We don't want most crap on the radio, sir.
We do not do ridiculous.
Your whole show is a joke, man.
It's entertainment.
Robert, we do not do ridiculous crap.
You do not know everything that you put on there.
It is absolutely ridiculous to uh you put a montage on the radio of uh a bunch of stuttering that Obama was doing.
Damn right I did because he's off.
And you expected Americans to go, wow, he is not who he says.
And who says you're my attacks on Obama everything.
Last I saw, Obama was below 44% and tied with McCain, so I think that our little hitch.
And you better enjoy this as much as you can.
You and the case.
Because Mrs. Clinton may get the nomination away from your guy.
If this man is so bad as racist as this country is, it should have been a piece of cake to bring that brother down with Jeremiah Wright.
That lets you know.
Jeremiah Wright brought the fact that the brother's Jeremiah Wright brought down the brother.
You got a fact of the brother.
I did not put any words in Jeremiah Wright's mouth.
Oh, Robert, I want you to listen to me.
Waste of time.
Robert, look at me.
Robert, Robert, look at it.
Get over it.
Your president, Rush, Robert.
Robert is not Robert, look at me.
Your president's skin is going to be brown, Robert.
Get over it, sir.
You, Hannity.
Everyone, get over.
That's you know what?
Your president's skin is going to be a big deal.
I don't care what the skin color of my president is.
You do.
You're the one that's obsessed with the skin color of the president.
But Robert, I'm telling you, what worry about the main one that we have to worry about when he becomes president.
You're aiming at the wrong guy, Robert.
Rush.
You're aiming you're aiming at the wrong guy.
I've heard you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Would you just listen, Robert?
Go ahead.
I'm listening to the bigger.
Because Mrs. Clinton is about to take the nomination away from your guy, and you're aiming your arrows and darts at me when in fact Mrs. Clinton and her husband are plotting to take this nomination away.
If you think there are people that don't want to have a wait a second, if you think there are people that don't want a dark skinned guy to be president, take a look at the Clintons and half of your own party, my friend.
Well, look at here, man.
The Clintons ain't the uh I mean they're not.
Now you're looking you're starting to sound like Al Sharpton, and I gotta stop you there.
You're gone too far now because I don't hear the Clintons ain't no better than I mean the Clintons ain't no better either.
I mean, they they are just as underhanded and dirty as you guys on the right.
I mean, they are trying to take it because they're letting me friends don't.
Empathy tells me that you listening to this program are tired of this, as am I. You got you got other such people what you let's go to Ed in Houston.
Ed, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
You're next.
Hi.
Hello, Rush.
Thanks a lot for putting me on after that guy.
Uh, if I was ever wavering between voting libertarian and conservative, I think uh he just made my mind up.
Uh hey done, Rush.
Never never better, sir, doing excellent to outstanding.
Well, lifelong friend here.
I I'm listening to you even before you came to Houston and uh picked you up on the radio between Corpus Christie and Houston and just used to have to tell my girlfriend, turn that loud mouth off.
And uh once you got here and I started listening to you, and I realized that you and I were just one in the same.
Thank you very much, sir.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for everything that you uh done.
My only question is is is what has happened to all our conservative candidates over the year?
How come uh uh we don't have the candidates out there to run on every level, state, federal, city.
Um you would think that after someone like Ronald Reagan laid out the game plan and had the formula to sweep this nation, that more and more people would come forward and say, Hey, that's a winning proposition right there.
I'm gonna follow that.
This is a uh that actually is an excellent question, and the answer to it will require a little more time than I have here.
Uh and it would uh also require to be makes require me to make some educated guesses about this, but I think in a general sense, the big culprit is Washington.
Is even when really solid conservatives go there, most of them end up caving over time to the social and the political and media pressures that uh that exist there.
And plus, conservatism was never that thoroughly loved and appreciated by many in the Republican Party.
The country club blue blood Rockefeller set in the Republican Party was never enamored of Reagan.
And they uh they just they they bit the bullet and smiled while it all was happening and winning two landslides and so forth.
But the fact that the Republican Party did not seek to build on that is clear indication that when I say he was not really universally loved and appreciated in his own party, it's true, because the recipe, the blueprints for moving the country forward for actually moving people to your agenda, was spelled out and demonstrated over eight years.
And what's happened now is that Reagan moved people to the right.
What's happening now is that both parties nominate people who see where people are and try to get there ahead of the other guy.
So there's an absence of leadership, if you will, and it's a race to see who can be the greatest and most creative panderer.
Brief time out.
We will continue after this.
Don't go away.
And we're back, Rush Limboy and the excellence in broadcasting network.
Have you seen how few books Nancy Pelosi has sold?
2,007 copies of her book.
She did all of the appearances last week's did the view.
She did Good Morning America, she did a whole bunch of things.
And her office is saying, Well, you know, she really wasn't trying to sell the book last week.
Too much going on.
This there will be an uptick this week.
Well, a publisher would like to hear that, that she wasn't trying to sell the Book the first week that it came out.
The unions will take care of this.
They'll buy up boxes of books in bulk that nobody will ever read.
But the bottom line, without that happening, the Democrats have this arrogance.
They have this assumption that everybody lives and breathes for them that hangs on every word that they say.
In the meantime, Jerome Corsey has the Obama file, whatever the title of his book is out there, with hardly any publicity that's going to be number one on the New York Times list.
There's a book by David Ferdoso, works at National Review, also the case against Barack Obama, and it is selling well.
And even Dick Morris has a book out there that has some critical things of Obama in it, and it is selling well.
Yet the Democrats think they have the Messiah as their nominee.
They think they've got a landslide just waiting to happen.
All we have to do is let the calendar play out.
In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful woman in Washington, the Speaker of the House, an historical figure herself since there's never been a female speaker before.
Two thousand books.
You want to know the real America.
I think this is it.
I don't think that there's all this love and adoration and desire for change with the Democrats.
They think there is.
They live inside their own little alternative universe in their own little bubble, where they allow themselves to believe everything they believe or that everybody else believes what they believe.
They get fawning puff piece press coverage.
They're never challenged, and so they have a view of people in the country.
They look at presidential polls, they see Bush at 29, 30%, they say, aha, everybody hates Bush.
They don't see themselves at 7% of the polls.
Aha, everybody hates us.
Because they don't think they mattered.
You know, the poll is of Congress as of an institution, not an individual.
And the presidential poll is a poll of a man, an individual, not an institution, so they think they're home free.
They do think that the country hates Bush, hates the war in the rock.
They think people hate the country as much as they do.
And so they act as though that's the case with arrogance, smugness, and condescension.
You have to know that Pelosi is shocked.
Stunned, and I guarantee you her publisher is stunned and shocked.
Two thousand books.
Wonder what her advance was.
I'll bet it was huge.
I'll bet it was huge.
And I'll tell you, if Newt Gingrich's book when he was speaker had opened this poorly, that's all we would be hearing about.
But you know the publisher's got to be shocked.
Pelosi and her office have to be shocked, and then you'll look at what's number one on the list, and it's an anti-Obama book.
And another anti-Obama book's right behind it.
Be confident, my friends.
The drive-by media does not reflect majority opinion in the United States anymore.
There is a media blackout on what's going on in the House of Representatives.
John Boehner is asking Republicans, members of Congress, to come back when they can during the August recess so that they don't shut down.
They are continuing to carry this notion to the Democrats that we need to drill here and drill now.
I want to thank all of you who have called these people and given them your support and your uh your encouragement because it's working.
The Democrats have walked into yet another trap.
It's it they open the door right into their noses every time.
If you put, if you put a bag of manure in front of the Democrats, they will eventually find it and step in it.
And they have stepped in it on the price of gas, they have stepped in it on energy.
Obama is out there making jokes about the high price of gasoline.
Obama is making jokes about how to deal with it.
Obama is coming up with pure sophistry, talking about a tire gauge business.
The American people are fed up with it.
The American people want prices down because it's not just the gas price that is impacting them.
It is the food price and it's transportation, a number of things.
And they've always been led to believe the Democrat Party is the party that is going to fix all this for the little guy.
And the Democrat Party's running away from the issue.
Nancy Pelosi shuts down the cameras, turns off the microphones, turns off the lights, goes out, does a couple that sells two thousand measly copies of a book that nobody wants to read.
And hell.
Probably nobody has read.
People buying it probably haven't even read it.
In the meantime, the Republicans, this this, and I I I'm so glad they picked up on the because this is the defining issue.
All we need is Senator McCain to get on this.
If he gets on this, he can renounce his Anwar thing.
If he gets on this, this is an you wonder why Obama's plummeting?
The Democrats want to try to ignore this, but you don't go out there and rip your own country while in Germany.
You don't rip your own country to a seven-year-old girl who asks you why you want to be president, and you don't laugh.
You don't make jokes about the efforts to produce more energy in order to make it more affordable in this country.
And that is what Obama has done.
A brief timeout.
We'll be back.
We will continue after this.
Forbes magazine says Buffalo is among the top ten fastest dying cities in America, but they didn't tell us what the tax rates, city and uh so forth are, nor which political party is in power and has been in Buffalo.
