Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Live from the Office of America's Anchorman.
It's the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network hosted by me.
America's real anchor man, the truth detector, and America's Doctor of Democracy, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations.
Great to have you with us, my friends, as we kick off a brand new week.
Christmas week of broadcast excellence.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Barney Frank, fit to be tied out there, ladies and gentlemen, trying to put his finger in the dike.
Out there trying to.
What is so funny?
What did I what did I say?
What did I say?
Barney Frank's putting a finger in the dike.
He was trying to stop all this economic haemorrhaging.
He's trying to stop Rick Warren from showing up and giving the prayer.
He's really upset about that.
At uh at Obama's inauguration, the Democrats are now again lowering expectations.
Uh uh, ain't gonna let that happen here.
Not only are they lowering expectations on policy matters, uh also they have reduced the the headlines say that the inauguration crowd originally projected at six million.
They say it'll be cut by about half.
Actually, no, the the projections if you read the article in the Washington Times, uh two million is what they're expecting.
That's uh that's a reduction in expectations by two-thirds.
Uh also Bush's uh last inaugural drew four hundred grand, so you know that the report will be that there were five hundred grand or more at the Obama inauguration.
It'll it'll dwarf whatever just by virtue of the reporting in the drive-by media.
Ladies and gentlemen, the uh the the soap opera here continues.
What are we gonna call this soap opera?
This soap rep is gonna be called liberalism in America.
Let me give you some headlines today from the Drudge Report.
Bitter cold high winds chill the Midwest.
Uh wind chill minus 30 in Chicago, minus 10 in New York City.
All parts of Canada may see their first white Christmas since 1971.
Severe cold wave to hit Europe.
Beijing's coldest December day in 57 years.
Now, if God is writing this sitcom, we'll call it liberals and liberalism in America.
What God is doing is revealing what a con artist.
This guy's got nothing.
Al Gore has nothing on Bernie Madoff.
Do you realize the global warming hoax is larger in scope than Bernie Madoff's uh scheme?
Al Gore is being uh is being displayed here as a liar.
But God is doing it as a in a in a kind and compassionate way.
Oil costs next to nothing, which means we can heat ourselves with his creation coal is down too as well this winter while we sort out the global warming lies.
Some people, this this this cold wave that's gonna hit Europe, Joe Bastardi today at his blog at Acuweather.com says that it is going to be worse than anybody will ever remember.
This cold wave is gonna come in.
And he makes the point, and some people could say, well, this is just a sign of how we have been warming uh when it when a cold wave comes.
No, that's not the way to look at it.
And he, by the way, he's not a he's not a global warming believer.
The way to look at this is very simple.
If we've got global warming going on, then how is it that all of this frigid weather can make a comeback?
If you are vanquishing the enemy, you're vanquishing the enemy.
And if global warming is going to destroy the planet and our climate, where in the world is all this cold coming from?
And don't tell me that it is an illustration of just how fast the earth is warming.
This is what the drive-by's and the uh environmentalist wackos want us all to believe because they have their agenda.
So anything abnormal weather-wise is said to be the result of climate change.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to illustrate something.
Uh many people can go on the radio and just tell you what they think.
Many people can give you their opinions, right, wrong, informed, uninformed, what have you.
One of my most recent suggestions to all of you as a means of helping you to keep your sanity to the next two years, four years, uh, sixteen years, twenty years, whatever.
The reign of Obama ends up being.
You will go crazy, I said, if you listen to what he says.
You will go nuts if you expect the drive-by media to in any way be critical.
He's too big to fail.
What you must do instead to understand why his voters love him is to listen to how he says what he says.
And I want to illustrate this, and I want to do it using Blogo.
Blogo went out Friday and delivered his defiant denial of having done anything wrong.
We have three sound bites here.
What I did was ask Paul Shanklin to record verbatim in his Obama voice everything that Blogo said.
I said, keep the humor out of it, do not exaggerate Obama affectations.
Give me as straight an Obama impersonation as possible.
And what we're going to do here, we'll do a side-by-side so that you can see what I'm talking about.
You listen to a punk like Blogoyovich deny it, and you listen to Obama deny it, and you tell me which of the two you would believe will play the three Blogoyevitch bites first.
Here's number one.
I'm here to tell you right off the bat that I am not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, that I intend to stay on the job, and I will fight this thing every step of the way.
I will fight, I will fight, I will fight until I take my last breath.
I have done nothing wrong, and I'm not going to quit a job that people hired me to do because of false accusations and a political lynch mob.
Change my mind.
I want to play that same thing with Obama.
So Mike, it'll be a start-stop here.
Here is Obama saying the same thing that Blogoyevitch said last Friday.
I'm here to tell you right off the bat that I am not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing.
That I intend to stay on the job, and I will fight this thing every step of the way.
I will fight.
I will fight, I will fight until I take my last breath.
I have done nothing wrong, and I'm not going to quit a job that people hired me to do because of false accusations and a political lynchbob.
All right, now, which of those two do you think sounds the more credible, ladies and gentlemen?
I there's no contest, right?
Obviously, the Messiah comes across as deeply sincere, uh, very confident, very self-assured, uh, and uh non-combative.
Here's uh more of Blogo.
Let me tell you what I'm not going to do.
I'm not going to do what my accusers and political enemies have been doing.
And that is talk about this case in 30-second sound bites on Meet the Press or on the TV news.
Now I'm dying to answer these charges.
I am dying to show you how innocent I am.
Well, do it.
And I want to assure everyone who's here and everyone who's listening, that I intend to answer every allegation that uh uh that comes my way.
However, I intend to answer them in the appropriate forum in a court of law.
And when I do, I am absolutely certain that I will be vindicated.
I think we've got the uh in fact, let's go ahead and play the next Blogoevich bite, and then we'll play the Obama version.
Roger Kipling wrote, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, and make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating.
All right, so there's Blogovich uh reading poetry.
Here is now Barack Obama with the blago transcript.
Now that's what I'm going to do.
Let me tell you what I'm not going to do.
I'm not going to do what my accusers and political enemies have been doing, and that is to talk about this case in 30-second sound bites on Meet the Press or on the TV News.
Now I'm dying to answer these charges.
And I'm dying to show you how innocent I am.
And I want to assure everyone who's here, and everyone who's listening, that I intend to answer every allegation that comes my way.
However, I intend to answer them in the appropriate four.
In a court of law.
And when I do, I am absolutely certain that I will be vindicated.
Okay.
You tell me, ladies and gentlemen, which of these two sounds like somebody you would trust, and which of the two sounds like you wouldn't.
Which of the which of the two says it doesn't matter what he's saying.
Here is one more little, I don't know if this is going to sync up perfectly, but here is uh one more uh Barack Obama from the Blogo press conference.
Kipling wrote, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself, we're in all men doubt you and uh make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting or being lied about, don't deal in lies or being hated.
Don't give way to hating.
And then start talking about creating three million jobs or saving three million jobs, uh, and everybody swoons.
So remember, it's not what he says.
It is what Blogo said.
It's totally what Lago said, not how he said it.
But with Obama, it's not what he says, it is how he says it, and you'll go a long way toward maintaining your sanity if you remember that.
By the way, an update, ladies and gentlemen, we had the shocking and frightening news last week that the Northern Hemisphere is losing two minutes of sunlight every day.
And if this crisis continues, that we will be in total darkness by June or July.
Frightening new information has surfaced from daylight change research.
The data indicates drastic changes to the environment that have already started.
Many species of birds, millions of individual birds have left the northern hemisphere.
The impact of the loss of these birds is unimaginable.
Insect life has been severely affected.
Most can no longer be observed.
Large mammals have been observed lying in a state of near-death torpor in their dens.
Crop production has fallen to dangerously low levels, and the models of the researcher predict famine in the very near future.
In addition, the computer models did not project this, but actual eyewitness observation has shown that most, if not all, leaves have fallen off all trees in the researcher's hometown.
Now, these and other effects of the loss of daylight demand our immediate attention if we are to prevent a climate catastrophe.
Remember total darkness and everything that would result from it by June or July if we cannot enact policies now that change this leakage back after this.
The crisis, the controversy over the eventual selection of Caroline Schlossberg to replace Hillary Clinton in the United States Senate continues, ladies and gentlemen.
Over the uh let's see, over the weekend we had some sound bites that uh happened out of this as we says Gary Ankerman was up first actually yesterday on Slay the Nation.
Uh Gary Ackerman, Congressman Democrat New York, Bob Schiefer.
A lot of the Democrats in New York, elected officials have said that they think this is a good idea.
But so you so far you have not been one of those people.
I don't know if it's a good idea because I'm not sure I know who she is.
I mean, everyone knows who she is, but we're not sure what she is.
Uh, you know, uh they're Kennedys, uh, they're all they're all boats, but is she a sailboat when we need a battleship?
That remains to be seen.
And the very fact that she's sequestered herself for her whole life, nobody knows what what her values are, we can assume.
We don't know the second thing, which is probably more is as important in New York and in national politics, what kind of fighter she will be.
Does she have the guts and the gumption to do it?
Well, you see, it's not smooth sailing here for Caroline Schlossberg.
Gary Ackerman and followed up.
They've basically Sarah Palinized her, if I can coin a phrase.
They've they've they're answering questions that you have to submit in writing.
She's not talking to reporters as she makes this grand tour.
DNA in this business can take you just so far.
You know, Rembrandt was a great artist.
Uh his brother Murray, on the other hand, Murray Rembrandt wouldn't paint the house.
Murray Rembrandt.
Rembrandt had a had a brother named Murray, and he couldn't paint a house.
So you see, DNA only takes you so far, and that's that's that's quite a cut to say of Caroline Schlossburg that she has been palinized.
Geraldine Ferraro also is not on board this move.
Uh Bob Schiefer said to her, You've asked the governor in a letter to appoint one of the six female members of Congress that come from New York.
It's not about an individual.
It is about the state and the needs of the state.
I said in order to get somebody who hit the ground running, I I specifically said, I think you should look to members of Congress.
They've been dealing with these issues for the last several months.
What they have to do, their biggest concern is moving from one side of the Capitol to the other side of the Capitol.
They know what's going on, they know the process they can move.
And then I did put in a little bit of a uh a support for the six women members.
I said, I don't know if any one of them wants it, but I think you should reach out to them and ask them.
Yeah, you know, this is something troubling about this, and that is the balkanization of things that the Democrats and the Liberals get into.
Only women can have this seat, only a black can have Obama's seat, only women can represent women, only this or that, and she's a woman.
Caroline Schlossberg is a woman.
Uh, it has been learned, uh, ladies and gentlemen, her big charity, the place that she supposedly devotes most of her time.
Why are you laughing in there, Brian?
I haven't said any funny yet.
Well, you still have the Barney Frank finger in the dike business.
I'm telling you, he's got he's trying to stop a whole bunch of bleeding out there.
At any rate, Caroline Schlossberg apparently spends one to two hours a week working at this big thing that is her her pet.
You know, her uh her most uh important cause.
The long knives are coming out for this woman.
But it seems like this has already been wired.
Remember last week, I think it was Friday, Caroline Schlossberg trundled up to Harlem.
First time beyond 110th Street, no doubt, where she had lunch at Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant with the Reverend Sharpton.
And I made mention of the fact last week before she did this when I found out she's gonna go up there, that she does look a little thin, which in circles of rich and wealthy people is exactly what you want to be.
You want to be a social x-ray.
You want to be thin, thin rich is in rich.
And this is what people like this strike for.
And I was stunned when she went up to Sylvia's and she actually ate something.
Uh, and I uh it was it was uh a major faux pas, ladies and gentlemen, showing her this is not lack of any anything innate, it's just lack of political experience.
You never ever eat.
While a camera is on you, you do you might spill something, you might choke, you might look bad when you some people have the rotten, most rotten eating habits, make noise and this sort of thing.
And if you look at the video, you will see, ladies and gentlemen, that the Reverend Sharpton clasped his hands over his plate so that he would not even be tempted to reach for a fork, a knife, or anything on his plate while the cameras were rolling.
But Caroline was slicing, she was dicing, she was putting food in her mouth, and she would chomp it away, and the Reverend Sharpton may be responsible for this, my friends.
Everybody agrees that she is social x-ray thin.
So the Reverend Sharpton, you don't go to Sylvia's to sit there and drink water.
You know, for all the talk, ladies and gentlemen about the uh the Bush administration and George Bush personally trying to manage his legacy with the automobile bailouts and and other things.
Uh you can see here that the Democrats are already building Obama's legacy before he takes office.
Wall Street Journal today, Democrats try to lower expectations.
Even as they depict A massive stimulus package as indispensable to turning the economy around.
U.S. Democrat, oh, by the way, speaking of that, speaking of that, Obama has added to the number of jobs that he is going to create or save.
Remember, it was two million.
It was two million jobs he was going to create or save.
Now all of a sudden the Obama people are out there saying that he is going to save three million jobs.
This comes, ladies and gentlemen, after last Friday, when I audio sign by number one here, Mike, this comes after last Friday after I said this.
Remember, Obama promised to add or save two million jobs.
Remember?
First said he was going to add two million jobs.
Policies would add two million jobs over the course of a couple years or so.
And then he started adding the word save to the figure.
Add and save two million dollars.
Well, George W. Bush just saved two million jobs for him.
The figure they're throwing around here is that the an auto bankruptcy would cost one to three million jobs.
So you round that off.
Uh you get two million dollars.
Bush just saved them before Obama saves them again.
So by the time we're finished here, we will have saved four million jobs because Obama will claim his two million.
And so uh do I know these people?
I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked buddy.
I know what they're gonna do.
So Bush saves all these jobs.
Obama has to up the ante.
Otherwise, Bush gets the credit for it.
So two million jobs are already saved.
Obama's now got to save or create just a million in order to make himself appear with drive-by media assistance, of course, of having outperformed even Bush.
Uh, by the way, uh, ladies and gentlemen, Mark Stein, a brilliant syndicated column from Friday last week.
And it is uh it starts out, so we're talking about bailouts of the auto industry.
Listen to some of the numbers that Mark Stein reports in his column.
General Motors now has a market valuation about a third of bed bath and beyond.
And no one says that your swash 700 elongated biscuit toilet seat bid is too big to fail.
GM has a market capitalization of around 2.4 billion dollars for purposes of comparison.
Toyota's market cap is 100 billion and change, the change being bigger than the whole of General Motors.
General Motors, like the others of the big three, is a vast retirement home with a small money-losing audio subsidiary or auto subsidiary.
What a way to describe the big three automakers.
A vast retirement home.
He says the United Auto Workers is AARP in an Edsel.
The UAW has three times as many retirees and widows as workers.
Did you hear that, ladies and gentlemen?
The United Auto Workers has three times as many retirees and widows as workers.
General Motors has 96,000 employees, but provides health benefits to a million people.
And the UAW, of course, this one was one of the things, you know, Barney Frank trying to stick his finger in a dike, he's trying to save the unions because the um the bailout is for the unions, and the unions, of course, are going nowhere near anything like a concession.
And the nothing in the Bush plan that bailed them out that mandates that anybody do anything.
They just kicked this can down the road to March so that Obama can do with it what he wants.
GM has 96,000 employees, provides health benefits to a million people.
And I know what some of you are saying, yeah, Rush, but GM made the deal.
They might have made the deal, but it can't be sustained.
That's just if you don't think this is one of the primary problems they're having, then you need to take your head out of the sand.
How do you make that math add up?
You do not, if you've got 96,000 employees and you're providing health benefits to a million people, you're not gonna, you're gonna you're not gonna make up the difference by selling cars.
Mark Stein reported that Honda and Nissan make a pre-tax operating profit per car of around sixteen hundred dollars.
Ford Chrysler and General Motors make a loss of 500 to 1,500 per car.
That is to say they lose money on every vehicle they sell.
Like Henry Ford said, you can get it in any color as long as it's red.
Uh this is startling.
Striking information.
So now with Obama upping the ante, ladies and gentlemen, on his job saving and job creation out of three million, uh, the headline in the Washington and the Wall Street Journal, Democrats try to lower expectations, even as they depict a massive stimulus package as indispensable to turning the economy around.
U.S. Democrat leaders are aggressively lowering expectations that the package will yield dramatic accomplishments quickly.
David Obey, who is uh playing a key role in assembling the stimulus stimulus plan, which is expected to approach $800 billion, said recently that an infusion of federal spending is the only game in town, quote unquote.
He's chairman of the uh House of Appropriations Committee.
He also added carefully, the downward momentum appears too strong to end the recession any time soon.
Democrats are facing an especially precarious version of that dilemma in crafting a package that'll sink hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars into the economy, they're apprehensive about the fallout if the economy merely continues sputing sputtering along for several years.
And then they're gonna have Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is gonna chair a middle class task force.
The uh, and this is this is one of his themes during the campaign.
So we're gonna have the federal government and a task force run by Joe Biden working on improving the middle class.
And I guess with what targeted spending?
There's only two ways that you bolster members of the middle class, ladies and gentlemen.
You either take those who are lower middle class or out of the middle class on the bottom, and you elevate them so that they join the middle class.
This is what capitalism does.
The other way to bolster the middle class is take those who are above it and tax the hell out of them and regulate the hell out of them and confiscate as much of what they earn as possible so that their wealth declines, and then they end up in the middle class.
This notion that Joe Biden and Obama have a magic formula to help them the middle class do something with targeted government spending, is absurd.
It's been tried throughout history, it doesn't work.
Capitalism is the only thing that's gonna work.
Unfettered just get out of the way, capitalism, allowing the fruits of one's labors to be realized, reinvested, and so forth.
Even Farid Zekar, writing in the Washington Post yesterday, for Obama to be remembered as a great president, he has to do nothing less than rescue capitalism.
Tell me something.
How in the world, Farid Zakarius, supposedly by reputation, one of the smartest guys ever.
Newsweek, CNN, Washington Post column.
He's got a book or something out there about how it's all over.
The end of American dominance because the rest of the world is rising up all around us, something like that.
How in the world do you look at what Obama's stated plans are?
Some of the wacko extremists in his cabinet.
That's another thing.
I'm I'm I'm getting a little weary here of the drive-by's pronouncing that all of his cabinet members are moderates.
This uh this this babe that's gonna run the labor department or the what are her name?
Solese or Solar?
What is what is her first name?
Sola.
This woman.
Well, the reason I ask is because you know Patty Doyle Solis, who used to work for for Hillary.
When I pronounced her name that way, I heard from all over the country.
No, no, no.
It's uh it's Patty Doyle Solis.
So it's spelled the same way as this babe, it's Hispanic name.
So maybe so that's why in today's morning update I pronounced it both ways, because I don't know, I haven't heard her pronounced.
I do not watch the news with the sound up.
It's bad enough watching the news uh with closed captioning.
I do not watch it with a sound up, so I've never heard her name pronounced.
I'm assuming it's Solise.
Uh, but this this woman's got ties to communist workers' parties.
She said she's gonna do whatever she can to unionize as much of the country.
There's nothing moderate about any of these people that Obama has appointed on the domestic side, particularly when it comes to uh labor uh and uh and a number of other things.
How in the world, if you're one of the smartest guys in the history of journalism in the history of academia, Farid Zucaria, how can you look at what Obama's doing and saying that his number one charge is to rescue capitalism?
It may be his number one charge to rescue capitalism, but I'll tell you something, folks.
You don't do it with socialism.
Okay.
I just asked the staff here on the other side of the glass if they've seen a movie from 2003 called Love, actually.
They all said no, except for Snerdley, who looked at me incredulously.
You kidding.
What is it?
Sound like a chick flick.
Well, I happened to uh watch it recently.
It's been heralded by some liberals as a uh classic Christmas movie.
It's British.
It has an ensemble cast.
So I watched it on the basic I love Christmas, and I watched it on the basis that a bunch of libs in the media, of course, have said it's a classic Christmas movie.
And but for 15 or 20 minutes of it, it is.
I mean, it's uh USA network is running an edited version of it Wednesday morning at six.
Why?
I it's airing Wednesday morning at six, I don't know.
But they've edited some of the things it's a sh- it's a shame that you just you cannot show this movie to the children.
Some adults would be offended by it.
Uh in just a few and it it it's just a shame.
I'm not folks, uh you watch this at your own.
I'm that, by the way, when I mentioned that aspect of it, that piqued Snerdley's interest.
Uh, that you couldn't that you couldn't show some of it to uh to kids.
The theory.
You know how the undeniable true of life, uh, truth of life, I forget what the number of this truth of life I wrote back in 1987 is, but uh it goes like this.
Nostalgia only reminds you of the good things in your past.
And that's sort of the theme of this movie that they have all kinds of pictures that at Heathrow, the airport, around Christmas time.
And all you see is love.
People greeting each other, family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, enemies, haven't seen each other in a while.
All it is is nobody gets off a plane wanting to kill anybody except Al Qaeda.
And they're not in the movie.
You have uh uh one one of the graphics in the opening of the movie is of all the phone calls made from all the three airplanes on 9-11, not one phone call to anybody was one of revenge or anger.
They were all messages as love, and the theory is how Christmas brings that out uh in in everybody.
It's uh and it's it's it's hilarious.
But it's got these, these it's not 20 total minutes, it's a minute or two here, it's 30 seconds here.
If you add it all up, there's probably I'm guessing here, but 10 to 15 minutes of it, that you certainly would not show your kids, certainly not as a as a classic Christmas movie.
But what I found, aside from from liking the movie, what I found, well, here's a movie that's that's that's got things in it that you would not dare recommend.
You wouldn't dare, especially with your young children.
Some of you as adults would not find something.
I don't know what the rating is.
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't pay any attention to the rating of the movie, but it's gotta be.
It's gotta I don't know how I got away without being an R. I mean, it's got nudity in it or threat well, yeah, it does.
Well, partial nudity, it's got it's got really questionable language in little spurts.
But what look would you let me finish the thought here so I can go grab a phone caller?
What amazed me was all of these liberals thinking it's a Christmas classic.
Well, I just it it was quite telling to me.
It was quite because I I would have loved to have been able to come here and tell you you should watch this.
But I just can't.
I know this is gonna make you want to watch it more if you do.
I'm telling you, don't put your kids in front of you, you're gonna get mad at me, and I have warned you.
You have been warned if you watch this.
Uh uh now.
Yeah, it is rated R. Okay, it is.
We just looked it up.
It is rated R. That should be.
I don't even think the people who made it intended it to be a Christmas movie.
Just happened to work out that way.
I'm guessing about that.
Uh Rick in Sarasota, Florida, you are first as we go to the phones today, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Merry Christmas, Diddle's Rush.
Thank you, Chef.
I'm happy to tell you that the loss of daylight crisis is over.
Uh not where I live.
I mean, it got dark yesterday, same time it did last week.
I mean, it I mean, it did uh I didn't check to see if you know we're losing light in the morning or whatever, but I mean it's look at there's still no leaves on the trees, there's still no birds in the northern hemisphere.
Uh, they'll be back.
We've got record cold up there.
I don't see any signs here that uh daylight's coming back.
The the only question is who do we thank for this miracle?
Well, you can't thank Obama.
I think I think you're a denier.
You are a denier.
You you are a denier of the disaster.
You're you're you're you're you're trying to say that this is all cyclical and that it's gonna come back, and that you think it's already started coming back, but you can't prove it.
And you're you're using this program here as a vehicle here to uh to doubt uh what our obvious conclude I mean, legions of scientists have uh have have done this, they've run this on their models, and there's there's no question that uh that we're losing daylight.
Uh there's a consensus of scientists out there who are very alarmed and very concerned that we are losing daylight in the northern hemisphere.
Not just in the United States, in Canada, in the UK, uh in uh in parts of China, uh in North Korea, it's always dark.
I mean, they've got a head start on us.
Uh in so you you you can sit there and try to deny this all you want.
Uh but it it it it eventually you'll find out we get to June and July, and there's no daylight.
It's all down in the southern hemisphere.
You're gonna want to move to Rio except for the crime.
All right, folks, back to this business of Democrats trying to lower expectations.
No, no, no, that's not how it works.
That's not how it works.
You don't campaign on a Messiah platform where you're gonna lower the sea levels and you're gonna fix all these problems.
You don't do that.
You don't run around and make people think the world's gonna love us.
And you don't run around and say, oh, war is going to end, and we're gonna meet our cantini's out, and all these problems are gonna be solved.
You don't run around and do that.
You don't campaign get elected that basis uh uh uh uh by the way, it's gonna be worse than even we thought.
