Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 podcast.
And greetings.
What a depressing America this guy sees.
Did you guys watch the uh commercial last night?
You did.
Well, I did.
I did.
Well, I was I was in a good mood after I watched it.
I'll just share with you my notes.
As uh as animal we'll analyze this in greater detail.
Anyway, greetings, folks, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
And the email address is El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Obama really is a depressing man, and he sees a depressing country.
He sees an America with nothing but victims.
He's got a depressing family.
He has depressing friends.
His solutions are depressing.
He's got depressing methods of running a campaign.
He's got he's got policies that are going to lead to an economic depression.
I mean, the word that we need to associate with Barack Obama is depressed and depression.
Clinton is so depressed out there, shilling for this socialist thug.
He can't think of anything positive to say about him.
Did you hear what Clinton said in Kissimmee, Florida?
I defy you.
I defy you to tell me what he means here.
Clinton's explanation of why Obama is qualified was interesting.
Clinton said, and look, if if if we've not learned anything, we have learned that we need a president that wants to understand and who can understand.
What does that mean?
It means this guy knows nothing.
It means this guy is an empty vessel.
It means this guy is a risk if we have not learned anything.
We've learned that we need a president that wants to understand and who can understand.
I mean, that's Clinton's attempt at saying nothing like Obama says nothing.
All right, I'm just going to share with you the notes that I made, and we've got some audio to back this up here in just a second.
But I want to share with you the notes that I made for show prep while watching the Obama commercial last night.
In order, just this is as it happened.
Paving a picture of a failed nation.
Depression.
Not one thing inspiring so far.
Four families of woe and despair.
Testimonials to his compassion by Kathleen Sibelius and Daval Patrick.
Tax cut for everybody under 200K, not 250.
And remember, this was taped a week ago.
A lie about offering a tax break to small businesses who hire people.
Let me explain that one to you.
Said I'm going to cut taxes.
I'm going to give a tax break to everybody who hires a full-time people.
You have $3,000 tax credit when it's going to cost you $50 to $75,000 to hire somebody.
Tax increases for companies who outsource jobs.
And then they popped up Eric Schmidt, the billionaire co-founder of Google, who was praising Obama, and it was followed by the Virginia Governor Tim Kane saying not to think about wealthy CEOs.
I mean, here came here came Google's CEO talking about whatever he was talking about.
And then here comes here comes the uh that idiot governor from Virginia now ripping into CEOs right after Obama showed us one.
Then the next thing I saw was this humongously large fat family eating dinner at a huge table.
The mother has to get up before the sun.
I said, My gosh, this is a bad TV show.
Mom goes off to teach problem kids at what looks like a kid prison.
And I wrote this note, Obama America, fat poor people, Google billionaire lecturing about wealth.
Mom has to ration milk because of high gas prices, bad economy.
Fat family had to be 12 people sitting around the dinner table.
Now here's a picture of Obama with his dad.
His dad, but no picture of him with his aunt on Yango, who was found yesterday living in a Boston slum.
More on that in uh in just a moment.
Uh now we got video of the Greek column address, where he says he's gonna create great schools.
Yeah, like the schools he created in Chicago that worked all that well.
He's now talking about health care, but he still hadn't given away the P. Diddy CDs, and he hadn't given away any cars yet.
My mother never saw her grandchildren, blamed health care for his mom's woes.
I think I wasn't quite sure about that.
Uh And then he got then they played the audio, the video from the uh from the Greek column acceptance speech in Denver.
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper.
Left out of the commercial was Obama Ant found in Boston Slum.
We go from hut, sweet hut to slum sweet slum.
I mean, this guy takes care of his family not at all.
It is incredible when you measure the way this guy has cared for his family versus what he talks about with charity and how we've all got to help each other out.
He's not helping out his own family because he doesn't want to use his own money.
Let's let's go to the audio sound bites here.
This is last night.
This is the brief moment of the uh of the uh infomercial here where he uh let's see.
This is uh I think this is the audio from the convention acceptance speech.
It is that fundamental belief.
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper that makes this country work.
Well, we got the news yesterday, and he taped this a week ago.
We got the news yesterday that old Auntie Onyango was found living in a Boston slum.
She may not even be a legal citizen.
We're not sure about that.
People have been looking into it and can't find out, can't find out.
And note that it was a UK paper that found this.
The UK Times, the U.S. drive-by's still are not talking about this.
By the way, Mike, hold on to audio soundbite number one here because I'm going to call for it again.
I want to read you this quote from the story.
Aunt Zatoone and Uncle Omar are the children of Mr. Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama by his third wife, the woman Mr. Obama calls Granny, because she raised his father.
Mr. Obama's father, Barack Sr., was on Yango Obama's son by his second wife, Akumu.
That makes Zatoone and Omar a half sister and a half-brother of Mr. Obama's father, or Mr. Obama's half aunt and half uncle.
You got that.
Okay, let me go.
Let me go through this again.
I know family trees are trough.
Let's go through the genealogical trace here again.
This in the UK Times.
Aunt Zatuni, now this is this is the aunt living in a slum in Boston.
Obama's aunt living in a slum in Boston.
Now, I'm not trying to make a too big a deal about this.
I think it matters.
You measure somebody's words, and we uh measure their words of compassion and caring, and we look at how the people closest to him live, ones in a hut in Nairobi living on 12 bucks a year, and here's Aunt Zatoone living in a slum.
A slum housing project in Boston, and Zatoone and Uncle Omar are the children of Mr. Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, by his third wife.
The third wife is the woman Mr. Obama calls Granny because she raised his father.
Mr. Obama's father, Barack Sr., was Onyango Obama's son by his second wife Okumu.
That makes Zatune the aunt living in a slum in Boston, and Omar, a uh her husband, a half sister and half-brother of Mr. Obama's father, or Mr. Obama's half aunt and half uncle.
Got it now?
Okay, now now it uh now it clicks.
And she was not uh, by the way, included in the uh infomercial last night.
She um has been affectionately described in his book, in his best-selling memoir, Dreams of My Father.
Zatuny Onyango was described affectionately.
She was discussed a lot in his book.
So it's not as though she's a distant aunt or half ant.
She is living in Boston in a slum.
Compassion.
She's living in Boston in a slump, slum, sweet slum.
Hut, sweet hut.
Hutt hut.
Auntie Zatuni in Mr. Obama's memoir.
She declined to answer other questions the UK Times asked about her relationship with Obama until after the November after the November 4th election.
She said, I can't talk about it.
I just pray for him, that's all.
After the fourth, I can talk to anyone.
So poor old Aunt Zatuni here, not only living in a slum, she'd been buttoned up.
She'd been zipped up, duct taith on her mouth, duct tape on Michelle My Bell's mouth, and of course, George On Yango Obama Hussein of what is stuck over in the hut.
And nobody can find him.
Yes, Mr. Sturdley, quit.
Mm-hmm.
It's sort of like stay here and shut up or stay there and shut up.
And you don't know me.
And uh, and I don't know you, even though I wrote about you extensively in the book.
Just shut up, Aunt Zatooney.
Noranian caviar.
But but that was, by the way, that was a false story.
That turned out being retracted by the New York Post that said Michelle My Bell was not even there.
The Waldorf hysteria on that afternoon.
It's not clear when Mrs. On Yango, Aunt Zatuni, uh living in the Boston slum, uh, first came to the U.S., she said, I've been coming to America ever since 1975.
I always come and go.
She is a frail woman who walks with the aid of a metal stick.
Neighbors said she lived alone in a ground floor flat, normally set aside for people facing physical hardship.
This is the aunt of Barack Obama, living in a Boston slum.
Let's go back to the audio sound bite now from the Denver acceptance speech.
It is that fundamental belief.
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper that makes this country work.
So it's really showing its success rate in your family, isn't it?
My friends, this is important.
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper.
That's what makes this country work.
Country's working, Obama's family is not.
Can you imagine Obama family reunion?
How did the how does the guy living in the hut get to the family?
Where is the family reunion?
Is there a family reunion?
Can you imagine Anne Zatuni?
She walks with a metal stick, not a cane.
She don't even have a cane.
She has a metal stick.
It's probably a pipe she picked up in the hood.
How in the world does she walk around to get to the family reunion?
Now, isn't it interesting?
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper.
That's what makes this country work.
He is nobody's keeper.
What he's going to do is make us everybody else's keeper.
He isn't anybody's keeper.
Now let's go back.
Let's go back to August 16, 2008.
He just said, we just played the audio here of Obama and his acceptance speech.
It's that fundamental belief.
I am my brother's keeper.
I am my sister's keeper that makes this country work.
Rick Warren at the saddleback church, August 16th said to Obama, what would be the greatest moral failure of America?
America's greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we we still don't abide by that that basic precept in Matthew that uh whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.
And that notion uh that basic principle applies to poverty.
It applies to racism and sexism, it applies to uh you know not having uh not not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class.
I mean there's there's a pervasive sense, I think, that uh this country, as wealthy and powerful as we are, still don't spend enough time thinking about the least of these.
His aunt lives in a slum in Boston.
Since 1975, she's been coming and going.
His brother lives in a hut outside Nairobi in Kenya.
There's a pervasive sense, Obama says, that this country is wealthy and powerful as we are, still doesn't spend enough time thinking about the least of these.
The basic precept in Matthew, whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.
Does this mean that we should demand Obama move to a housing project or a hut?
Is he blaming America for the circumstances in which his aunt lives in a slum in Boston?
He's not even willing To take care and help his own family and how many mesmerized Americans think he's going to take care of them.
By the way, there's a lot of early voting going on in Florida, ladies and gentlemen, and a lot of people are shocked.
He are they are shocked because the number of Republicans voting early is ahead of the Democrats by four or five percentage points.
This is also happening out in uh in California, where it's almost neck and neck, Republicans and Democrats voting early, and of course the uh uh and my source for the Florida thing is Florida Today newspaper, which is Gannett, which is laying off 10% of the workforce.
Yes.
Um the uh bottom line here is that the early voting was supposed to be all Democrats so enraged, so upset, so eager to get rid of the evil George W. Bush and Republicans and so forth and put in this socialist thug.
And it seems there's as much energy among the early voters among Republicans in Florida, California, uh perhaps some other states, as there is for the Democrats.
Let's go to the Obama infomercial last night.
It what it really was, folks, it was a parade of victims.
It looked out over America and saw nothing except horror.
It was well, it contained nothing inspiring.
It contained there one of the things that was really striking about this infomercial was that there was not one mention, not one example of any accomplishment.
Because there aren't any.
There was not one example of Obama's leadership.
There was not one example of Barack Obama being able to cite things he has done that he wants to talk about.
All we got was a mesmerizing speaker, and frankly, I don't even think it was that mesmer.
I thought it was a boring as a television show.
It was boring.
It was like watching 30 minutes of one-minute campaign ads.
Would you do that?
Would you sit down and watch a half hour of one minute camp?
That's what this was like.
But it was striking how there was no whatsoever mention of any accomplishment, achievement, nothing to testify to his leadership.
He couldn't bring a bunch of people up and say, yes, I fought for this, and I got these people behind me, and we went out, and there was none.
None of that.
Now, coming up at the program later, Fawad Ojami with a brilliant piece about the psychology of crowds.
It's in the Wall Street Journal, and it it it its basic point is that people that show up in crowds for Obama, the great thing that they go for is the equality.
They're all the same there.
Uh and it's it's exciting.
And then when the event's over, they go back to their lives and so forth, and it's just a it's a mirage, it's an illusion.
Okay, here's Obama, first family last night.
Rebecca Johnson complaining the economy is tightening her budget regarding the purchase of snacks for her kids.
Rebecca Johnston is all about her family.
This is where our snacks would go.
Um, Gabriella, and then Nathan, and then my husband and I, and my daughter and Ethan, my son.
If they know that it's this is it for them for the whole week, then they will make it last longer.
I think everybody feels the same way that they'd like to see an end in sight to all the worry and the chaos of everyday living.
Trying to make ends meet.
On Snacks, and it really was a focus there on snacks, kids' snacks.
Yeah, they'll tough it out.
They'll make them last for a week if they know that's all there is for a week, but it's really hard out there in Obama's America.
That would have made such a great commercial.
If Senator government commercial versus socialism, he should have just featured the ant in the slum in Boston and a hut dwelling brother over in Kenya.
That would have made a great segment.
And if I were Obama, I would have used the uh the the uh the brother in the hut in uh in Kenya.
Not only is Senator Obama pushing welfare for working Americans and socialism for everybody here in America, he has his global poverty redistribution Of our wealth scheme, where he taxes us billions of dollars a year to redistribute around the world in conjunction with the UN, uh, even in Kenya.
So no wonder Obama is not helping out the aunt living in the slum in Boston, and no wonder he's not helping out the brother living in the hut in Kenya.
He expects us to.
When he institutes his socialism and UN Global Poverty Relief Program, you and I are going to help his aunt in the slum in Boston and the brother living in the hut in um in Kenya.
But his lack of concern for his own family is striking.
Let me give you some comparisons here.
This is a cold man.
He is angry, he is cold, he is a charismatic demagogue.
He funneled millions of other people's dollars to Jeremiah Wright, to Billy Ayers, Tony Rescoe, and their ilk.
With his own money, he donated approximately $20,000 to Wright's church of racism, bigotry, and hate.
And yet, hut sweet hut, slum sweet slum, get nothing.
But he has a history of giving away or trying to give away a lot of money.
All right, time now for family number two.
Uh in the Obama commercial last night, and I it was a four-family spread of utter misery and despair.
Uh, the first woman, Rebecca Johnston, uh tight budgets causing uh cutback on snacks for the kids.
Up next is uh Larry Stewart and his wife Juanita, who are talking about their medications.
After 30 years working on the BO Railroad, Larry Stewart and his wife Juanita hope to reap the rewards from their working years.
Six grown children, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a home that they own themselves.
Well, with her rheumatoid arthritis and other ailments, their medical bills have been rising.
I take twelve different medications per day.
When Larry was working, all of that was covered.
When he retired, I did not have medical insurance.
And each year it just got worse, worse, worse.
So here we have some people in, you know, the poor circumstances being used by Barack Obama.
A lot of lot of people have uh arthritis.
That does happen in America.
It might surprise some of you uh to know that, but arthritis does happen to human beings who happen to leave in America.
But what the Messiah is going to do is lay his hands on these people and cure the arthritis as soon as he's elected president, has your money and our money to uh to do so.
Now, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, um, this is two of the four families, and I have a a question.
Will there be efforts to use government databases to smear these people who appeared in Obama's infomercial as was done to Joe the plumber?
Will the liberal media track down these regular Americans and check out their tax and their employment and their criminal and marital records like happened to Joe the plumber?
Will we find out if they have licenses or certificates to do what they say that they are doing?
Or do we only do that to Joe the plumber and others who dare to ask questions of the Messiah?
We're gonna get investigations.
You think the Republicans in states they control will use computer databases to find out who these people are who are concerned about economic cutbacks for snacks.
Oh, yeah, the liberal Democrats can go out and destroy Joe the plumber, but nobody will look into these people.
Here now the um this is the soundbite with uh perhaps I was cruel when I said the fat family.
I just it just I always get I always get which is my first reaction.
That's what I wrote down.
I'm trying to be brief.
Let let's let's call them the um the large family.
They were large and they were sitting large, and they were sitting large at a large table, and they were and they were eating, and uh, this is Juliana Sanchez talking about her financial situation.
Juliana Sanchez is a widow with two children and a mortgage.
Her parents, Richard and Francis, were both educators.
Like her family, Juliana's devoted her life to giving her daughter Jessica and son Adam a good education.
Every morning she's up before the sun.
Health care, food, electric, gas.
It takes out so much out of my paycheck.
You go buy a gallon of milk, and you're like going, okay, is it a gallon or a half gallon?
What can I afford?
You feel like you you can't breathe, even though you need to breathe.
This is what it was.
I mean, this was the whole show.
This this is the America that Barack Obama wants everybody to see.
The Democrats have been trying to create this image uh for the last six years of a soup line America of depression America.
And that's what Obama tried to do last night.
And I'm telling you, this is a large family sitting around a large table.
And uh she's she's worried now about whether to buy a gallon of milk or half gallon of milk.
And as I'm watching this, I say, why don't you ration the Pepsi?
Why don't you ration the Coca-Cola?
You have fell mean, Mr. Limbaugh.
No, I am not.
I am not sitting here and willingly accepting this picture of my country because this is not my country.
These are some unfortunate people going through some tough times like everybody else does.
I feel sorry for these people.
I I feel so sorry because they're waiting around for Obama to literally lay their hands on him or the country and raise them out of these circumstances in which they find themselves.
I feel sorry for them.
This is precisely what I mean about the Democrat Party and Liberal Democrats seeking to destroy people's lives by taking away from them their drive, their ambition, their desire, their work ethic.
And making them look at this country as though it's hopeless and there's no hope for them, and the only hope we have is somebody who cares about them in the White House, such as Barack Obama.
All right, Mike, in these next bites, six through nine, we're gonna mix in 44 and 40.
Well, actually do 44 and 45 at the end of six through nine.
This is uh the Obama infomercial, and he this is this is the the ceiling on which you're gonna pay taxes.
Remember, he he taped this a week ago.
All through the campaign, the ceiling's been 250.
If you make 250 dollars or less 250,000 or less, then you don't get a tax increase, which another lie, but that's what he's saying.
And then all of a sudden it became 200,000.
And then Biden, who I think they've put in one of the laboratories on a campaign plane and locked the door.
Biden lowered it to 150,000, and now it's back up to 250 and 200, then last night it's 200 again.
Obama taped this a week ago.
Here's the first of these series of bites we have to show you this.
As president, here's what I'll do.
Cut taxes for every working family making less than 200,000 a year.
He taped it last week, but he's been saying 250,000.
This is July 7th in St. Louis.
If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, then it is a debate I am happy to have.
Because if your family making less than 250,000 a year, my plan will not raise your taxes.
And in, let's see, this is uh television ad in uh this year later in the campaign.
This is just recently.
If you have a job, pay taxes, and make less than 200,000 a year, you'll get a tax cut.
And then Biden got in on the action TV interview in his uh in his district in Scranton.
Well, I mean, he it wants people to think his district is scranton.
Here he is.
It should go like it used to.
It should go to middle class people.
People making under 150,000 a year.
All right, so we're bowl over the board now.
But the most recent figures last night, 200,000 in the infomercial, right?
Play it again, play cut six.
Just to remind you, here is Obama last night in the commercial.
As president, here's what I'll do.
Cut taxes for every working family making less than 200,000 a year.
This morning in Sarasota, Florida, Barack Obama, the most merciful.
How many people make less than a quarter million dollars a year?
Raise your hands.
All right, that would appear to be the majority of you.
Uh, no matter what, Senator McCain may claim.
Here are the facts.
If you make under $250,000, you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime.
Not your income tax, not your payroll Tax, not your capital gains tax, no tax.
The last thing we should do is in this economy is raise taxes on the middle class.
Okay, the infomercial last night, 200,000.
Now we're back up to 250,000 today, but even that is a lie, because the Bush tax cuts are going to expire in 2010, and everybody's tax increase is going to happen.
Everybody's taxes are going up.
He just said nobody under 250 will pay more taxes, and all of you at that level or below will.
Then, this morning in Sarah, Sarasota, Florida, final bite from Obama.
John McCain and Sarah Pound, they call this socialistic.
You know, I I don't know when they decided that they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.
A virtue out of selfishness.
A virtu.
Look at we're not talking charity here, Senator Obama.
When you use the government to take what people have produced, that's thug behavior.
When you force the long arm of government into people's bank accounts, that's not charity.
And what is this virtue of selfishness?
Sir, if there's anybody selfish in this race, it is you.
Your aunt lives in a slum in Boston.
Your brother lives in a hut in Kenya.
Hut sweet hut.
Slum sweet slum.
Selfish.
All right, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Poor Miss Sanchez, who's concerned about all of the costs that Obama's gonna fix, the health care and all of these things.
I think Miss Sanchez, if you check, you probably learn that you pay more in local, state, and federal taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, property taxes, payroll taxes, then you pay for food and electric and gasoline.
I'll bet she does.
And you know why?
Because most Americans do.
And isn't it striking that when these circumstances come and happen to people?
They whine the government's not doing enough when the government's who's making them poor.
The government and every level of state and federal taxation that people face.
And that they keep looking to people like the Messiah and the government.
That socialist statement by Obama, he just admitted it.
He doesn't say he's not a socialist when when when uh when he recounts McCain accusing him of being a socialist.
Um he says he just doesn't believe selfishness is a virtue.
So what he's doing with that, he's defining capitalism as selfish and is not denying he's a socialist.
To the best of my knowledge, he is he has yet to.
This is the language of the socialist.
Capitalism is selfishness.
That's what they want as many people to believe.
But I'd like to ask the little messiah something.
Barry, you're running around the country, you're rushing from place to place.
Uh, you're preaching uh redistribution of wealth, you're preaching materialism, you're uh promising money to people who contribute nothing in taxes, or all those people who want something for nothing.
Who are you uh you were pandering to?
Are they selfish, Barry?
Are these people selfish?
Are they sitting around waiting for you to take somebody else's money to give to them?
Would you call them selfish after you call McCain and Palin selfish?
Have you called capitalism selfish?
Who's selfish?
Now I realize many on my loyal staff whose contributions are vastly overrated, think that I have uh exhibited a lack of sensitivity to people who have a shortage of cereal in the cupboard and snacks.
The Milky Ways are down by half, the uh fruit loops, the Skittles.
The MMs just barely have enough to last the week, and a lot of moms and a lot of people feel this way, it's really bad out there.
And then I, by sounding like I was disapproving of their woes.
Let me try to explain this.
I told you once I feel sorry for people like this.
Because they are they're being they're being conditioned to believe they have no recourse to solve this other than the election of Barack Obama.
And that's a crime because this is exactly what liberals have done to people is depressed their spirit, destroy their own initiative, destroy Their own knowledge and idea that they can fend for themselves.
He wants as many people as possible to believe their country horrible.
That sucks, that it's not what it once was, and they can only recapture its former greatness by putting socialists in charge of everything.
This is serious stuff to me.
A great country is made up of great individuals.
We want as great a country as we can be.
We want individuals thriving and prospering.
We want them dreaming.
We want them with great ambition, desire, uh, can do spirit and so forth.
We don't want this country portrayed as a nation of victims and whiners.
Because the effect of this on people who might watch this, oh, this is horrible.
I'm doing okay in my life, but low, this is horrible.
I can't stand to see people in conditioned life.
We have to do something.
And of course, to do something is always elect Democrats.
And like I said yesterday, the Democrats have had all these years to apply their fixes to all these circumstances.
We can go back 50 years and find we can pull identical stories from different families.
And we can then ask the question well, if this circumstance, poverty or economic hardship in some places have existed 50 years ago, and the Democrats have had all these plans and programs to fix it.
How come it's still there?
Well, the answer from Obama is because McBush, Bush and McCain, Republican policies.
You go back and look in history, Republican policies have produced the greatest prosperity in the history of the earth.
If the Democrat policies, which have done just the opposite, okay, back to the infomercial.
Obama last night.
And as commander in chief, I will never hesitate to protect our country.
As president, I'll rebuild our military to meet 21st century challenges.
All right, fine and dandy.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
Let's go back to 2007.
Obama taped this message for the caucus for priorities, a campaign that set out to recruit 10,000 Iowa caucus attendees to pledge support for a presidential candidate who is strongest in their commitment to significantly shift Pentagon funds to unmet social needs.
As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with caucus for priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq.
I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning.
And as president, I will end it.
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons.
I will seek a global ban on the production of thissel material, and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand.
So he told this group in Iowa before the caucus that he would uh basically disarm.
