Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, we had the by the way, welcome Rush Limbaugh, EIB Network, Limbaugh Institute, and all that.
You know the drill.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Yesterday we had the story of the Muslim guy bought a TV network, Buffalo to enhance the image of Muslims.
He was under arrest for removing his wife's head.
There was a picture of the loving couple in the TV control room in happier times before her head had been removed.
I guess it's sort of you know, unscrew it, maybe put it back on when you uh when you want her head to be there.
It's a strange word uh used to something's been beheaded.
Today, ladies and gentlemen, we have a story.
The New York Post has a story today on Travis the chimpanzee in Stanford, Connecticut, that is just hilarious.
Now they had to kill Travis because he went berserk yesterday, attacking cops, attacking cars, attacking people.
200-pound chimpanzee.
Now, we most people see chimpanzees when they're little babies when they're young, like in Tarzan movies or on the TV shows, and that they're really cute.
And when they get big, I mean, these are these are aggressive, they can be brutal aggressive creatures.
We we learn in this New York Post story, I'm gonna read it to you in great detail in just a minute.
We learn in this story that Travis was a fan of the New York Mets until they fired the manager Bobby Valentine, at which time Travis the chimp uh switched his allegiance to the New York Yankees.
Uh further details on this uh coming up as the program to tell you.
Uh how did he feel about what?
Well, I don't we don't know.
The story does not say how he felt about Arod.
He'd probably withheld his opinion about Arod, Arod's press conference on steroids, not until 1.30 this afternoon.
Travis is now dead.
Uh and and Travis is because he's dead, he'll never know what uh Arod has to say about this in his press conference before we get to that.
And uh let me just set up what's coming.
I had I got a I got a couple notes from a friend last night that have caused me, ladies and gentlemen, to do some serious recalculating, and I'm not sure just where I fall in on this now.
A guy, friend of mine in Kansas City was out to dinner, and he overheard two people at the table next to him just praising Obama to the hilt on the basis, you know, it's good we finally have somebody in the White House doing something about this, meaning the economy.
And my friend was a little incredulous because they appeared to not care what it was that he was doing, just that he was doing something.
That led me to remember my oft-repeated warning to you people that liberals are never held to account on the results of their proposals only on their good intentions, only on how much they care.
The only Democrat who has really paid a price for messing up the United States economy was Jimmy Carter.
And even he now has been rehabilitated by the Democrat Party and the media.
Another note from another friend expressing exasperation.
His kids, late teens, early twenties in college.
He has been trying to convince them for years of the fraud and the hoax that his man made global warming.
He has hit them with statistics.
He has shown them things that they can read.
None of it mattered.
They thought, eh, Dad, come on, they'd roll their eyes.
You don't understand how serious things are.
What has changed their minds is this cold winter.
His kids now think Al Gore's an idiot because they have had a horrible winter.
It's been bad.
They're mad.
They don't understand how anybody can say global warming is going on out there in it when it's as cold as they can ever remember in their lives.
So he he concludes to me that the actual experience of something has far more persuasive power than does making an argument.
And I said, Well, you know, sometimes arguments are not just about winning arguments.
If you have a good connection, you have a good connection with your kids.
Well, my connection with my kids is as good as anybody else's kids.
I mean, I, you know, they're they're past the rebellion stage, but they they still haven't realized I'm the smartest guy in the family yet.
They think they are.
And I said, well, that led me to think that that got me to start thinking of something else.
We have the stimulus package out there, and theoretically, practically, everything it's a disaster.
It is an absolute disaster.
But telling people that is not going to change anybody's minds.
They're going to have to see evidence that it didn't work.
Now, here's the thing.
The U.S. economy is a very powerful thing.
U.S. economy, you would have to say is larger than what was this?
$189 billion.
The U.S. economy is larger than that.
Perhaps one of the reasons for the speed and the haste in getting the stimulus bill passed was because common sense tells you that at some point the U.S. economy is going to recover.
It is.
It just there's too much ingenuity.
This bill is not enough to stop all the ingenuity.
It's a this bill is not large enough to totally socialize the country.
You know, the stock market is in bad, bad shape, down 270 today on fears of bank nationalization.
I mean, the signs that it's going to get worse or better is the big Nev Brzezinski's out there talking about food riots between rich and poor if something doesn't end.
Everybody's still trying to make the case is going to be horrible, rotten, and so forth.
But the reality is the U.S. economy may in fact rebound.
What if it rebounds next year?
Late this year, next year.
Guess who's going to get the credit?
The stimulus package, which and the stimulus package will have had nothing to do with it.
The stimulus package, if anything, will actually retard this.
The real danger of the stimulus package, of course, is, and by the way, I mentioned this to you some weeks ago.
What Obama really wants is to raise taxes.
He has not been able to do that because of the uh status of the economy.
So the economy's going to rebound at some point.
The United States economy.
It always does.
We rebounded from the depression.
We rebounded from the recessions in the late 70s, early 80s.
We rebound from the we rebounded for the recession of the 60s.
We got out of Great Depression.
These things happen.
It comes, it'll come back.
And the um the real long-term effects of this are going to be profound because when it comes back, then the focus is going to be on all the deficits.
And that's when Obama will come and raise everybody's taxes.
Like two or three years from now.
Sooner if he can get away with it.
At which time the real structural damage that Obama's doing to the economy will start to take place.
So it's, you know, we're these are these are precarious times.
You know, I sit here and I I make no bones about the fact that I hope Obama's plans fail, and this is exactly why.
Because I hope they fail in a way that's noticeable.
It's the only way this kind of disaster is going to be rejected.
But if the the economy's bigger than this right now.
The economy is uh the economy is is bigger.
I have to define the failure, Mrs. Why do I have to define the failure?
What's so hard to understand about the stop snurly shelling at me here that I have to define failure because if I don't, nobody else will.
You mean the failure of the policies?
What what?
Okay, what is failure of the Obama economic plan mean?
Well, no, see, you can go two ways on this.
The failure of the economic plan would result in the economy boomeranging because the plan didn't work.
That's one definition of failure.
It fails to do what it says it's going to do.
Revive the U.S. economy, create gazillions of new jobs.
And that's that's one definition of failure.
If that, if it doesn't work, because you've been telling me, you know, we'll go into your office every top of the hour break, and you say people are gonna figure This out, man.
And it's gonna come back.
After a while, these people that voted for this guy, they're not gonna see their jobs come back, they're not gonna see prosperity comes back, it's gonna happen.
And I've been warning you that the uh average Obama voter, even in the case of Democrat politicians, especially this guy.
Remember, the Great Society, it was a failure.
The war on poverty was a failure.
Ten trillion we've spent.
It's a failure.
And yet the people that came up with the plan are lauded to this day as great, compassionate, concerned Americans.
Not because it succeeded or failed, but because they cared, because of their intentions.
Well, Obama's intentions, nobody's gonna ever question what his intentions are.
You know, Obama, I got a little piece on this coming later.
Obama, we think that Obama said that they're lying to people.
He's not really lying.
He just gets away with saying meaning two things every time he says something.
And I'll I'll give you details of what I'm talking about as the program unfolds before your very eyes today.
Before we take the break, I want to give a lot of lot of attaboys to the Republicans in the California Assembly.
I don't know if you know what's going on out there, but the Democrats are veritably holding the Republicans hostage.
They are one vote short in the California Assembly of uh being able to raise taxes.
And the Republicans are holding firm out there.
They are that they are putting up with uh insults, all kinds of efforts to keep them in the in the assembly without letting them get out of there.
Uh the Associated Press has a story today in the Washington Post.
After a frustrating holiday weekend that failed to yield the one vote needed to end California's budget stalemate, the state is poised to begin laying off layoff proceedings today for 20,000 government workers.
One members, the now, the speaker is uh, well, the the Senate leader, the pro ten leader is Daryl Steinberg is from Sacramento.
And he warned lawmakers bring their toothbrushes.
They're not gonna leave until that one vote is secured.
One member, he said, one member, one more member to put the interest of the state ahead of ideology and ahead of any parochial concern.
Like other states, California faces plunging tax revenue that has imperiled state services.
The proposal put before lawmakers this weekend was negotiated by uh the governor and the four legislative leaders appeared to have support of the required two-thirds majority in the state assembly.
However, it fell one Republican vote short in the Senate.
A situation that had not changed throughout a weekend, marked by long hours and uncertainty over the state's future.
The plan includes 15.1 billion in program cuts, 14.4 billion in temporary tax increases, which are never temporary, and 11.4 billion in borrowing.
And Daryl Steinberg says, you clowns are not leaving here till I get that one vote.
I don't care what.
Bring your toothbrushes, but we're not getting out of here until we get that one vote.
You gotta drop your ideology from mine.
There's a great column today.
James Morone writing in the uh New York Times.
Here's a great definition of bipartisanship.
Roosevelt and Reagan reveal the dirty, rotten secret of bipartisanship.
It happens only when one side is cowed, beaten, or frightened.
More competitive elections mean more ardent debates.
And there's a perfect definition of bipartisan.
The Democrat version, we're gonna beat you down, we're gonna make you bring your toothbrush in here, and you're gonna go along with us because we're gonna frighten you, we're gonna cow you, and you're gonna make you think it is hopeless.
And that's bipartisanship.
Only bipartisanship only happens when one side caves in.
And that's why we here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies despise bipartisanship because it involves quitting.
And of course, Winston Churchill, whose statue, whose bust was sent packing by Obama.
One of his favorite quotes never give in.
Never give in.
Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force.
Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
I myself have received a Churchill Award from the Claremont Institute and also from Hillsdale College.
And I didn't get this reward because I surrendered.
Yes, Churchill was married, and even despite that, he had that philosophy, but that is a philosophy for outside the home.
And in matters of state.
Never giving in, never giving in, never, ever, ever, in nothing, great or small at home.
Well, that's a different matter.
So I would talk to Charlton Heston once.
When I learned he'd been married 50 years, I said, How did you do this?
He said, I learned three words.
Then they never failed me, honey.
I was wrong.
Well, if you have a never give in, never ever, ever, ever give in strategic, you certainly never never say, honey, I was wrong.
So Churchill's philosophy, certainly outside the home.
Never ever give it.
The Republicans in the California Senate are not giving in, and it's frustrated.
They need to be support.
I'll tell you what they need to do.
I just have a little there's this session starts in 40 minutes at 10 o'clock on the left coast.
That's where they got to bring their toothbrushes.
And uh they're either they're gonna Democrats are gonna offer a bunch of bribes, uh, or they're just gonna browbeat that one Republican till he caves in.
The Republican position ought to be, they ought to counter.
They ought to counter, not just sit here and resist it, counter it.
Force the Democrats to adopt a majority vote to raise taxes.
A majority vote.
Now, that would probably be declared unconstitutional by the California courts, but at least they could kick this down the can or kick the can down the road, move this down the road a little bit, uh, and uh and delay it a little bit.
But I enjoy seeing this.
And I think when I when I saw about this, and I've been keeping up with it over the weekend, I wanted to take some time here to applaud them.
Uh it's not easy being a Republican in California.
It's especially not easy being a Republican in the legislature out there, and they're holding fast on the whole concept.
That state, look at the tax increases they're planning.
Well, all of this uh and how about Kansas?
How about Kansas?
Suspending tax refund checks.
California has also done that.
California's issued IOUs.
At any rate, look at a little long here.
I gotta take a brief time out.
We'll uh do that.
We'll come back after this.
Sit tight.
Barack Obama in the air, even as we speak on the way to Denver from Chicago to sign the massive porculus bill, ladies and gentlemen, and then tomorrow on the Mesa, Arizona, to make sure that people who can't afford their homes are able to stay in their homes in the meantime.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is flirting with minus 300 points down today.
Primary fear, the nationalization of banks.
Where we headed, folks.
1929.
1929.
That's uh white comedian Paul Shanklin as Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore.
Tentative plan to overhaul Massachusetts transportation system, charging you a tax for every quarter mile you drive.
We have an update, ladies and gentlemen, on the shocking story out of Buffalo, in which a Muslim man started a TV network to improve the image of Muslims, removed his wife's head.
Uh featured a picture of the couple in happier times before her head was removed.
Police now say that the man Muzamul Hassan, wait till you hear his wife's name.
You want that?
Muzamo Hassan is charged with murdering his wife, Asiya Hassan.
It's uh A-A-S-I-Y-A and uh Y A, and the pronunciation guide here is uh S E E Yah.
Ah see ya.
And uh it just the story just continues here, ladies and gentlemen, to uh grow fruit, uh, so to speak.
Police say that Asiya had an order of protection against her husband, and he had been kicked out of the house they shared in Orchard Park near Buffalo.
The police accused the 44-year-old Hasan of removing his wife's head at the TV station where he launched his TV network to improve the image of Muslims.
In an AP interview, he said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following 9-11.
The uh reason for this, the reason it all happened, the reason he removed his wife's ASIA head is because she had filed for divorce.
That's that is uh that is what has been learned.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, an update, if you will on the havoc caused by Travis the chimpanzee in Stamford, Connecticut, the New York Post write up of this.
Three people wrote this story.
It's just incredible.
The headline Havoc is Chimp Goes Ape.
By the way, I saw there was they had a still picture on the Fox News channel.
Somebody caught a picture of the ape just before he was shot by the cops.
His head is in a huge thing, taller than the car.
Head is inside the passenger window.
And there's a cop car there, and you can't see any people, but there's a telephone pole, and there's a sign on the telephone pole says, beware of dog.
Not beware of chimp, a massive chimp who loved flowers.
Philet Mignon and the Yankees went berserk.
Oh, there's a picture of the uh of the of the chimp now, even on uh on Fox, uh sitting in his cage.
Those things get uglier as they I I used to work with a guy in Sacramento, looked just like a chimpanzee.
Uh but but this um I think Terry Bradshaw bears some resemblance to chimpanzees as well.
But that's uh I'm getting I'm getting uh I'm I'm I'm getting distracted here.
Captain Richard Conklin of the Stanford police said that officers had no choice but to open fire on Travis the chimp after he cornered a cop and a cruiser about 3 30 in the afternoon.
Police are not sure what triggered Travis Wilde in the jungle rampage, though Conklin said the ape had been acting odd in uh in the in a home of his owner, 70-year-old Sandra Harold, and neighbors claim that the chimp suffered from Lyme's disease.
Uh he said that uh the owner gave the chimpanzee Xanax in his tea to quiet him, but the chimp grabbed the keys to open a kitchen door, went outside, started banging on car doors to indicate that he wanted to go for a ride.
It's a very clever chimp, said Captain Richard Conklin of the Stanford police.
Meanwhile, the owner called family friend Charlotte Nash, 55 to help round up the chimp.
Just as she arrived at the house and got out of her car, the chimp went up to her, jumped on her, began biting and mauling her.
This is unprecedented with this chimp.
Uh he said, noted that Travis had lived with Harold and her late husband for nearly 13 of his 16 years.
Why he might have been going berserk because of the stimulus bill.
He might not like what's in it.
There might not be enough in it for him.
I mean, if this guy, this chimp, has got the wherewithal to be a Yankees fan uh after the Mets fire Bobby Valentine, which enraged him, then clearly he has the wherewithal to understand what's in it for him or not in it for him in the stimulus bill.
So anyway, the owner to save her friend now being mauled by the chimp.
The owner went and got a large butcher knife and stabbed the chimpanzee numerous times.
Now Travis was uh severely injured, seriously injured, But he roamed the property nevertheless as the cops swarmed in.
The wounded Travis zeroed in on one cruiser, running to one side, trying to open a locked door, quickly scooted to the other side, ripped off a side mirror while opening that door.
The trapped cop inside shot Travis several times in self-defense.
The mortally wounded ape then staggered back into his house.
They followed the blood trail in the house.
They found him dead in his cage.
The mayor of Stanford, Danell Malloy said that the bizarre attack was not expected.
Wild animals are wild animals, he says it's just the power of these animals.
We should never forget that.
Now, Conklin, again, the police captain here speculated that Nash, who had visited before this, the woman had got mauled, may have confused the chimp by wearing her hair in a different style.
She wore her hair up that might have angered the chimp.
Chimp might have might have this is what the captain says.
The chimp might not have appreciated the hairstyle being up, didn't recognize the friend and wanted to show his displeasure for her hairstyle.
Don Mecca, a friend of Harold, the owner, and her late husband said he was stunned, noting that Travis was normally so well behaved.
A chimpanzee liked watering flowers, he liked wine, liked expensive steak, liked brushing his teeth.
He even watched baseball games on television.
Neighbors said he liked to pretend to drive his owner's cars, including a pink Cadillac.
He also fed hay, well, not see.
Somebody just said to me in the IFB he could surf the internet.
He could.
He could log on to the internet.
It's coming.
If you just let me get to the story, all of this will be revealed.
Travis also fed hay to the horses near his house in a in his house in a rural part of Stanford.
Now, Travis the Chimp, now deceased, briefly rooted for the Mets when Stamford, Connecticut native Bobby Valentine, was the manager.
Travis the Chimp knew that Bobby Valentine was a native of Stamford, which is where Travis the Chimp lived.
And this made Travis a Mets fan.
But when the Mets fired Bobby Valentine of Stanford, he later then changed his allegiance to the Yankees, according to his owner.
He loves baseball.
He likes anything with action, she said in a 2003 interview.
He dressed himself and could log on to a computer.
Despite being domesticated, Travis had a wild side.
Anyway, it's a tragic story.
A wild animal being treated as a pet finally acts as a wild animal does and goes wild.
And it's only after the fact that we learn how bummed out was he about Arod.
I mean, we he never really heard Arod in his press conference.
That's afternoon at 1.30, but who knows what could have depressed the chimp?
The stimulus bill.
It seems like he started losing it and went over the edge when the Mets fired Bobby Valentine.
And not even the wine and the filet mignon and the pink Cadillac and the horses.
It seems, and then when the babe shows up with the hair up and a different hair do that.
I think it was just too much stress.
And uh and the chimpanzee just went berserk, and it forced the authorities to fire fatal shots.
Do you also remember the story from last week?
Lady we have an update here on the story where a lot of rich millionaires, multimillionaires, were having to choose between their jets and their other possessions and their mistresses.
You remember this?
And we found we learned that that four out of five rich people are saying Sionara to the mistresses to hold on to the jets and so forth.
It was a terrible story, shocking.
Very, very sad in a human interest sort of way.
And we had a Chinese version of this story.
A married Chinese businessman who could no longer afford his five mitresses, held a competition to decide which one to keep.
But the contest took a fatal turn.
When one of the Women eliminated for her looks drove the man and the four other competitors off of a cliff.
The spurned mistress died.
The other passengers were injured.
Police initially thought the car had plummeted off a mountain road in eastern China on December 6 by accident.
And they learned of the contest through a letter the dead woman had left behind, the Shanghai Daily Newspaper reported.
So basically, a married Chinese businessman who could no longer afford five mistresses held a comp because of downsized.
It's even hurting the economy is down certain in even hurting China rich people.
Held a competition to decide which one to keep.
But one of the women who was who was who was eliminated because she wasn't pretty, as the other four decided to take them all out.
Five Chicom mistresses fall victim to economic downsizing.
Now let's see.
Women knew of one another, but none elected to break up with the man and give up their rent-free apartment and a $5,000 seven hundred and thirty dollar monthly allowance when the economy soured.
The uh the businessman apparently decided to let go of all but one mistress.
He staged a private talent show in May without telling the women his intentions.
An instructor from a local modeling agency judged the women on the way they looked, how they sang, and how much alcohol they could hold.
The judge knocked out the woman who killed everybody in the first round based on her looks.
She decided to exact revenge by telling her lover and the four other women to accompany her on a farewell trip.
And then drove them over to Cliff.
Ladies and gentlemen, an urgent, urgent, urgent, historical development here, a share of one piece of stock, one share, one stock, one share of stock in the New York Times now cost less than a copy of the Sunday newspaper itself.
In the New York City Metro area, the New York Times costs four bucks on Sunday elsewhere.
The New York Times Sunday edition cost five dollars.
At around 1240 this afternoon, a share of the New York Times company cost three dollars and eighty-two cents.
The share price is down 79% in the past year.
I hope President Obama will urgently address this as he signs the porculus bill at 2 40 Eastern time this afternoon in Denver.
And now we go to the phones.
This is Joe in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you here, sir.
Thank you.
Hi, Rush.
How you doing?
Just well, just fine.
Hey, Rush, I don't I wonder if you remember me from over a year ago.
I called you in 07, complaining about George Bush, and I likened him to our Jimmy Carter in the Republican Party.
I was just really complaining about his support for Spectre.
And now I'm just so angry to see what we have today with Spectre supporting the stimulus bill and everything.
And the only reason I I think Bush could have went to be one of the greatest presidents this nation could have ever had by his association with the Democratic Party, or where he bought us has just really outraged me.
And you called me a whiner back then, but it's just that, you know, me, a businessman back here, I see what we're the direction our country's going in, and it just outrages a lot of us out here.
Yeah, Joe, you got you called back your whining again, and you gotta stop that.
I know that, Rush.
I know that.
You know.
But I guess what it is is when I listen to all us of us conservatives out there and everything, we're all frustrated out here.
I know a lot of great businessmen here in the Lehigh Valley, and we're really hurting because of what's happened to our country.
And we're really hurting.
How many of these businessmen voted for Obama?
None of them.
Not a one.
And actually, I worked for one businessman who was a tremendous Obama supporter.
I talked to him about two weeks ago, and he is even changing his tune right now.
Well, I, you know, I'm hearing individual examples of that.
I I but I don't put much stock in uh uh, you know, how much that's happening around the country.
I've heard two or three people tell me that they've had Obama friends of theirs, Obama voting friends of theirs all of a sudden.
It's hey, wait a minute.
I I um I always, you know, there we gotta See evidence of that in far more than just anecdotal ways.
Now I'm not saying what your friends say is not true.
Don't misunderstand.
Right.
But it's um it's gonna be well.
You know, the media's still propping the guy up.
I mean, he's only been in office a month now, and he's still, I mean, in the honeymoon phase and getting accolades for getting this thing passed faster than anybody.
And by the way, you mentioned Spectre and Snow and Collins.
There's a story today in my stack, I forget which newspaper it is.
But liberals, you if you want to laugh, liberals are angry as hell at Harry Reid.
Oh, it's Stenny Hoyer.
Stenny Hoyer in the House is mad as hell at Harry Reed for letting get this, Joe, for letting Spectre Snow and Collins water down the Senate bill.
Right.
It's a 790 billion dollar boondoggle, and the left is mad that the uh the the they're they're running stories that Spectre rolled Harry Reed along with uh Susan Collins and what's her face, uh Olympia Snow.
Uh and the the the Stenny Hoyer's mad there was little bipartisanship in the Senate.
And so while while while we think while we think they have just robbed the bank, they're mad they didn't get as much as they hoped to.
Right.
And while you're mad at Spectre for joining them, they're mad at Spectre for cutting spending.
Right.
Now figure that.
Right.
Right.
I understand.
Hey, Rush, can I say one other thing?
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
I I I guess when we listen to all these conversations that's going on back and forth about our country and everything, but I still am very optimistic as a businessman.
I mean, I started a company with two guys, and now I'm up to about 30, and I feel nothing but opportunity in front of me.
Well, you know, one thing I've come to learn, and I know a lot of your listeners think like me and everything.
I I don't believe the greatness of our nation is our presidency or our government or our military, but I think that the greatness of our nation has always been our God.
And I think as we as a people, when we start depending on him more than our government, and that's something that has really outraged me about a lot of the ministry and stuff out there in the world who have supported a man just because on the issues of abortion and gay rights, I think it's an outrage.
When you have to have the government say that I am free, you are not really dependent on God.
But I think the greatness of our nation is our God.
And I think more when uh people like us start really crying out to our God, I think we will bring change.
I think that's the greatness of our nation more than anything.
Well, John Adams has a famous quote, and I'm gonna have to paraphrase it.
He was one of the founding fathers, and I don't have it right in front of me.
But he said, ours is a constitution written for moral and religious people.
It will not work for those who are neither.
Right.
So I think you uh you're on the same page here as one of our most brilliant founding fathers, the second president of the United States, John Adams.
I know I'm watching all the time.
You know, but this is a great country, and our uh the the the economy, you're right, the economy is going to rebound.
It always does.
Anyway, uh it's it's gonna have it's gonna manifest itself in different ways, though, this time.
It'll be interesting to chronicle for you.
I gotta run, be right back after this.
Here is the complete John Adams quote we have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true belition.
Religion, our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
That's John Adams, and that's the full fledged quote.
