Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Boy, oh boy, oh boy, President Obama out there with a brilliant, brilliant speech, ladies and gentlemen.
He said, Georgetown University, we got to give him credit when he deserves credit.
We got to be willing to acknowledge when Obama does something right, and he's giving a great speech.
I think the students are falling out of their chairs there, so mesmerized.
I found myself unconsciously drooling near a coma state while listening to Obama's speech, a brilliant speech, making anybody listening to it think that not only does he have a grasp of all the economic issues, but that they do too.
Brilliantly conceived, flawlessly executed.
One teleprompter glitch slowed down.
President Obama appeared to lose his place.
But man, he's good.
But he snapped right back in there like it was hardly anything at all.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The telephone number if you want to be on the program today.
800-282-2882, the email address, lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
President Obama in an economic speech at Georgetown University, and he started by saying, look, it's going to be a longer speech than I usually give because it's so important here.
He has gone, he's laid out in this speech everything that we're cutting it up now.
We're going to have audio soundbites on this as the afternoon progresses or as the morning, depending on your time zone progresses.
President Obama laying out all the reasons why this happened.
And it's predominantly George Bush, Wall Street, Main Street, everybody but the Democrat Party had a role in this.
The Democrat Party tried to stop this from happening.
They're now in the process of trying to fix it.
He has just laid out in a brilliant speech all that has gone wrong.
And then he's laid out in the second part of the brilliant speech all that he has done to bring this economy back.
And just as this program was starting, after laying out all the brilliant steps that he's taken and using the strawman arguments that he uses.
Some say we shouldn't do anything.
Nobody's ever said that.
But he uses the strawman argument and he lays out all the brilliant steps that his young administration in less than 100 days has taken to fix all of these problems.
And they're on the road to being fixed.
And after brilliantly laying out just exactly how much brilliance has been employed in a form of policy, more government spending, larger government, government owning part of the automobile industry, after brilliantly laying out why that's called for, he just said, well, I don't want you to get falsely optimistic here.
2009 is going to be a bad year.
It's going to be bad out there.
2009, still a lot of things left.
So after telling everybody how all of these steps that he's taking are brilliantly positioned to cause a massive revival in our, this was not just a normal down business cycle.
This was caused by greed on Wall Street.
He has really, and I love this, as you know, he has trashed AIG four or five times in this speech.
Oh, he has.
He's really trashed AIG a lot here.
He made a show of trashing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but it wasn't very sincere.
You could threw that in there.
But even that, despite all of the brilliance of our brave young president and his new plan, his policies, all of the things that he has dictated that will happen here to bring the economy back still says ain't going to happen this year.
So there is a glimmer of hope, just not this year.
The glimmer of hope is not this year.
But there's a glimmer of hope in 2010 and election year.
A glimmer of hope will happen in 2010, which happens to be an election year.
The glimmer of hope is there.
We have to keep agreeing with all of the brilliant policies and plans that he has put forth in order to see that glimmer of hope become a glimmer of reality.
It's the modus operandi here.
The way the Associated Press deals with this, of course, they got a text copy of the speech before the president delivered it today.
President Obama trying to strike a careful balance between highlighting economic progress and underscoring continued challenges as he seeks to reverse the recession he inherited but now owns.
The president was slated to give an economic speech would outline the state of the economy when Obama took office in January, steps his administration has taken the first three months, and what still needs to be done to right troubled sectors, including the housing, banking, financial industries.
He started out by once again claiming, ladies and gentlemen, that the subprime problem is due to predatory lending, lending money to people who had no hope of paying it back.
They were predators.
The people that lent the money did it for quick profits.
They convinced people that couldn't afford a house to buy a house.
They convinced people who couldn't get a loan to get loans, leaving out conveniently any of the role of government in ordering the banks to behave in this way.
But nevertheless, we are told that we must praise President Obama when he does good things.
And he's delivered a good speech.
I have to tell you, it's a brilliant.
If you watch this speech, you conclude he knows intimately what he's talking about, and he makes it sound like you do too.
So he's doing a great job delivering the speech.
Teleprompter is on the money today.
You've got to give the teleprompter credit too because the teleprompter put the words up there that President Obama is saying.
Now, he's into the second half of the speech, and it's starting to slide in now to Barbara Streisand.
Starting to slide into the BS.
The second half kicked off with the success at the G20.
It was not a success.
The things that he wanted Europe to do did not happen.
The G20 trip was not a success, but it doesn't matter because it's being reported as a success.
And he's saying it's a success.
So it's a success, even though it's not or wasn't, it is.
And he's talking about how the money is already doing great things, but it isn't going to happen this year.
All the money we're spending is creating new credit.
Even though your credit card companies are raising your interest rates and lowering your balances that you can carry, there's still credit out there.
You can go buy a house now.
You can go buy a car.
His policies have worked to create an expansion of credit.
So the BS is starting to settle in now, just so you know.
You know, I had a report.
I got this at 2.30 yesterday afternoon that I just didn't have a chance to work it in yesterday.
It's this Department of Homeland Security report.
It's nine pages.
I've got the PDF here.
And by the way, this speech of Obama's and the DHS report yesterday are timed for one reason, and that's the Tea Parties tomorrow.
This speech, the primary purpose of this speech is to take any glall off the Tea Parties.
The media is going to report on this speech later this afternoon and tell me about how great the economy is doing, how on top of it Obama is, how it's going to be a little wild before it rebounds, but it's coming back.
And then in having used that as the setup, they'll then go to videotape of the Tea Parties where they'll try to mock what's going on with these people, just agitators with no real reason behind what they're doing.
So this speech is designed to totally blunt the Tea Parties, which are grassroots affairs that will happen all over America tomorrow.
The DHS report, this comes from the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.
Now, when you read this whole thing, and it doesn't take long to read it, it's only nine pages.
You can go to various places and read summaries of it as well.
For example, there is no proof here, no proof offered, no evidence offered that anything they project is true.
However, suggests, well, let me give you one.
Yes.
The Department of Homeland Security assesses that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat.
These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of right-wing extremists, including lone wolves or small terrorist cells, to carry out violence.
The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join right-wing extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from psychological effects of war is being replicated today.
Even quote Timothy McVay in this report.
This is the Democrat Party Department of Homeland Security.
Janet Napolitano put this together.
There is not one instance they can cite as evidence where any of these right-wing groups have done anything.
I'll tell you what this is on the par of.
This is on the par.
Remember in Missouri where the state police put out a pamphlet warning local police departments in Missouri that if anybody had like an NRA bumper sticker on their bumper or a pro-life bumper sticker that they were potential members of the right-wing militia.
We had a call from Michelle yesterday in Pensacola, I think it was Pensacola, Florida.
And she's agreed to let us call her back sometime during the program today.
She's so upset because Obama's trying to unify us all, trying to bring us all together.
And why am I opposed to this?
Well, here's a clear example.
Janet Napolitano, Ed Morrissey at Hot Air Today.com writing about this suggested that Janet Napolitano needs to resign and that Obama needs to withdraw this report.
And I read things like that and I understand where Ed's coming from, but I don't believe for a minute Obama had nothing to do with Obama.
He provides the vision.
He says so.
He puts the members of his cabinet there.
The idea that Barack Obama is not a partisan, that he's a unifier, how can anybody today still go for that?
The only way they can is to remember what he said during the campaign, but ignore what he's doing as president.
Because this thing, this Department of Homeland Services report is nothing more than a partisan hit job filled with lies and innuendo that portrays any conservatism as right-wing extremism.
And I could read you here.
Let me read you a couple of excerpts of this just so that you get the idea.
Right-wing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool.
Many right-wing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use.
Right-wing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment.
From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, right-wing extremists have capitalized on related radical and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.
What you have here is Jan and Napolitano, Barack Obama, forget Napolitano, says his administration, he provides the vision, he puts people in these positions that he wants to do his bidding.
This is Barack Obama, and this is an effort to stifle what anybody would consider to be normal political dissent.
He is characterizing those of us who oppose an expanding government, huge socialistic tendencies, legalization of illegals for the purpose of making them Democrats.
We are now right-wing extremists and we are arming up.
And this report is to warn other law enforcement agencies of the dangers posed by right-wing extremists.
The thing came out yesterday.
Well, I think it actually did it came out.
Yeah, it was last week on April 7th.
And it just, Roger Hedgecock and a couple people found it, made it public yesterday afternoon.
As I say, I got my copy at 2.30 in the afternoon.
This is being made and widely disseminated now on the day prior to the Tea Parties as well.
Here's another excerpt.
Right-wing extremist chatter on the internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures.
Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish financial elites.
Right-wing extremist chatter is spreading this kind of stuff around?
These accusatory tactics are employed to draw new recruits into right-wing extremist groups and further radicalize those already.
So what you have here, you have a report from Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama, Department of Homeland Security, portraying standard, ordinary, everyday conservatives as posing a bigger threat to this country than al-Qaeda terrorists or genuine enemies of this country like Kim Jong-il.
Wait, wait, they wouldn't write anything about Kim Jong-il like this.
They wouldn't write anything about Obama, Osama bin Laden.
Don't forget, this is the same bunch that the same bunch that once referred, well, not referred, but suggested, or yeah, they suggested the speech code in which references to jihad and Islamofascism were to be purged.
We were not to discuss terrorism with those words.
It was not to be discussed in the country.
It was not to be discussed in the government.
And so the same people who wanted to purge references to jihad and Islamofascism are now out with this report, which is a genuine hit job on standard run-of-the-mill mainstream ordinary Americans.
DHS will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in right-wing extremist activity in the United States with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive right-wing extremist radicalization.
That's just a portion of it.
It's nine pages long.
Homeland Security warning of radicals on the right, defined as groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
Anybody opposed to federal authority, expanding federal authority, will now be tagged as a member of right-wing extremist groups.
All right, a brief timeout.
We'll come back.
We will continue with much more after this on the EIB network.
In light of all that's happening, Obama's speech on the economy justifying the basic destruction of the U.S. free market, which is what the speech is.
Only way to describe it, the justification of the destruction of capitalism, the free market as we've known it, and this inflammatory report from Department of Homeland Security calling mainstream conservatives right-wing extremists, militia members, tarring and feathering returning veterans as becoming right-wing extremists and warning everybody to be on the lookout for these people on the eve of these tea parties.
I want to go back to last week.
Last Thursday, the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, held a press conference to announce that he supports the House Concurrent Resolution 50 in support of states' rights under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.
He's all upset about the bailout money, TARP money, the social or the stimulus money.
This is great stuff.
Here's the first of several bites from the governor of Texas.
The federal government has become oppressive.
I believe it's become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state.
Millions of Texans just like yourself that are tired of Washington, D.C. trying to come down here and tell us how to run Texas.
We think it's time to draw the line in the sand and tell Washington that no longer are we going to accept their oppressive hand in the state of Texas.
There is a point in time where you stand up and say enough is enough.
And I think Americans and Texans especially have reached that point.
Amen, bro.
That's the governor of Texas.
Rick Perry was home with Larry Kudlow last night.
Question, three Texas tea parties.
You got 10 rallies being planned just in the Metroplex area itself of Dallas.
I just want to ask you, Texas, one of the best state economies in the country.
You've got relatively low unemployment.
What are they doing?
Why are they doing this tax revolt thing in Texas?
We want to keep it that way.
And the message is for Washington, D.C. Here in Texas, we keep our taxes low, our regulatory climate fair, a legal system that doesn't oversue, and a good, accountable public school system.
Then we believe in getting out of the way and letting the private sector do what it does, which is create jobs.
Somewhere between 70 and 80 percent of all the jobs created last year in America were created in Texas.
Now, what this is about, Texas and all the other states are being forced to take a percentage of all the stimulus, the porculus package money.
And a number of governors have said they don't want it.
Bobby Jendel says, I don't want it because this is going to end up costing us money.
Unemployment demands they're putting here with the way we run the system.
Mark Sanford, South Carolina, doesn't want it.
And Governor Perry in Texas doesn't want it.
They do not like the idea that the federal government under Obama is now telling the states what they have to do.
It's unconstitutional, and that's why Perry is speaking up.
All right, another timeout.
EIB Obscene Profit Center break.
Back in a moment.
We are back.
The all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned.
Maha Rushi.
Here behind the golden EIB microphone, a couple more Rick Perry soundbites last night with Larry Kudlow.
Perry has just described how conditions in Texas are not as bad as they are around the country, but yet there are a lot of tea parties planned for Texas.
Kudlow says, why are these people in Texas dissatisfied then?
What are they yelling at?
They're sending Washington the message.
I mean, we're still part of the union down here in Texas, and our folks would like to keep it that way, but we see some things going on that are peculiar.
They're frustrating.
Part of my message is going to be be loud and be consistent and keep sending the message to Washington, D.C.
We understand that you can't tax and spend your way to prosperity.
Washington needs to quit spending money.
Let the private sector have the freedom to grow.
And we'll grow our way out of this recession, but you can't spend your way out of it spending money out of Washington, D.C. That's not what President Obama said today.
You can.
In fact, President Obama in his speech today ridiculed the whole notion that government shouldn't spend during a recession.
That was just stupid.
He said, people saying that, it's laughable.
He didn't say crazy, but it's what he meant.
I can't believe it.
People saying we can't, Washington government shouldn't spend in a recession.
Why, that's absolutely incorrect.
So he disagrees with Governor Perry.
The more spending, remember now, the Obama administration think the only reason FDR failed with the New Deal ending the Depression was they didn't spend enough soon enough, which is, of course, historically inaccurate and economically incorrect.
But what's true and accurate and right no longer matters.
The facts, what's true, what's historically accurate, what is, according to the sciences of economics, what works, what doesn't, none of that matters.
There's whatever Obama says, that's the new reality.
Finally, Cuddlow says to Governor Perry of Texas, you've got one of the few states left in the union.
No personal income tax.
You have no corporate income tax, so far as I know.
You do have a 6.25% sales tax.
Has that gone up?
No, it hadn't, and I don't think you'll see people talking about raising the sales tax.
The key is here, we have created a real business climate.
You mentioned Art Laugher in your section before.
Art did a comparable between California and Texas, and he said, look, it's not even close.
So Governor Perry, not on board with anything that's happening out of the Obama administration.
I guess, according to the Department of Homeland Security report, Governor Perry is a right-wing extremist and is encouraging militia groups to form.
He's out there with what Governor Perry's saying, according to Janet Napolitano and Obama at the Department of Homeland Security, Governor Perry is actually trying to recruit right-wing extremists to oppose our brave new president and his massive plans to create a utopia here on earth.
Have you ever noticed, you look at this DHS report?
We've made comment on this before.
Wouldn't it be nice if the liberals of America actually acknowledged our real enemies the way they acknowledge conservatives?
I mean, the language they use in this report to describe conservatives.
We hear all the time that the left is a bunch of pacifists, make love-nut war types.
They don't want violence, and they just want to get along.
And why can't everybody just be happy together?
And yet, when you read what a typical leftist like Obama or Janet Napolitano put together in this Department of Homeland Security report, you conclude none other, nothing else, that they are extreme partisan radicals, and they're ready to go to war with a domestic enemy, conservatives, that they consider to be a greater threat than Iran, than China, than North Korea, than Venezuela, Russia, or any other nation that threatens the United States.
Conservatives are the biggest threat to America.
That's the message coming out of Washington from Obama and Janet Napolitano.
With that, we go to Michelle in Pensacola.
Michelle was with us yesterday.
We ran out of time.
Michelle, thanks for letting us call you back.
Hi, how are you?
Well, I'm not in the best of moods today, but I'll be nice talking to you.
Well, thank you.
I'll be nice talking to you.
I'm not in the best of moods.
You were very nice talking to me yesterday.
Thank you.
Why are you not in a good mood today, Michelle?
I would think the opportunity to appear on this program two days in a row would make your day.
Well, I would think so too.
But apparently the consensus of opinion around here is do not talk to them, do not talk, and my family.
So, you know, I'm not sure.
Why does your family tell you not to talk to me?
One of them says you're an idiot.
You're only going to make fun of me, and you are going to try to prove how smart you are by using me.
You don't have to prove that.
I don't have to prove how smart I are.
It's self-evident.
You are so smart.
But I have no intentions of humiliating you, just the exact opposite.
And we don't make fun of people on the phones here.
Well, you know, you know what you were just saying about people who dream of something good.
Unfortunately, that would be me.
I am a dreamer.
I am a hoper.
I hope.
And all this is about is for me, my hope for our country.
And I realize that, you know, God didn't apply for the position of president.
So other than that, you're never going to have perfection.
So you have to deal with the good and the bad.
But I sense and let me stop you on that.
I wouldn't take issue much with that.
But from what I heard you say yesterday, you don't want to admit the bad.
You only want to see what you think is the good.
No, I do want to.
I prefer generally keeping out of it because I am a novice to politics.
But I want to change that, Michelle.
I think ignorance is better.
No, no, it's not.
No, Michelle, ignorance is not better.
It doesn't make you happier.
It makes it easier for people to take advantage of you.
It makes it easier for people to end up harming you when you think they're helping you.
Ignorance is not good here, and it's one of the things I wanted to deal with.
I want to also be very brazen with you about something here.
You said you're a hoper and a dreamer.
Now, I love dreams.
I think too many people are told that their dreams are fantasy land and so forth.
But dreams led to inventions.
Dreams led to this country.
But hope is a different thing.
Hope, in many cases, Michelle, is simply an excuse for not doing anything.
After you hope, what have you accomplished?
You can hope all you want.
And I'm not talking here in the religious sense.
I don't want anybody who, I'm not defining hope in the religious sense here at all.
But after you sit around and hope and hope and hope and hope, dreams sometimes can inspire you to action, but hope never does.
Hope is a substitute for action.
You want everybody to get along, but that's not going to make it happen.
And in fact, everybody getting along is an unrealistic expectation.
It's never been the case.
And I understand that.
I'm not that much of a dreamer.
I'm sorry to have interrupted you.
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
No.
What you said yesterday was that you think that Obama wants to end all the divisions in the country.
You really believe that he wants us all to get along.
I really believe that he is trying to unite us.
Yes, that is my whole reason for this call.
Right.
Now, Michelle.
Yes.
Just so you know where I'm coming from.
Yes.
You couldn't be, and I don't say this to humiliate you or to make fun of you.
You couldn't be more wrong.
Barack Obama is one of the most divisive presidents that we've had in my lifetime.
You know who was really trying to unite us was George W. Bush.
When he first assumed office, he let Ted Kennedy help him write the education bill.
He operated under the concept of the new tone.
He was trying to make all kinds of friends with Democrats, make friends with his enemies.
George Bush tried to reunite, tried to bring everybody along.
What you're reacting to is Obama's campaign promises.
We're going to unite.
No, Because there's no, look at 55 million Americans voted against him, and they haven't changed their minds.
He won.
Yeah.
So let me just say this.
But if Barack, if according to my beliefs, you know, I take my beliefs very seriously.
My beliefs are heartfelt.
I'm a traditionalist.
I believe in the founding of the country, believe in the individual.
If I believe, even though he won, that Barack Obama's ideas will forever alter this country for the worse in comparison to how great we've been.
Why should I support it just because he won, just to get along?
You shouldn't, if that's what you believe.
Well, that's what I'm doing.
I don't.
Okay, I agree.
I understand.
If that is your belief and that's your feeling, you have every right to say it.
Now, would you categorize yourself as a liberal or conservative or is anything?
Well, if I had to, I would probably say an American.
I wouldn't, I don't like those categories.
I really choose not to be able to do that.
But you know what?
Like you said yesterday, the division goes back to the pilgrims.
It's been that way since that long.
Correct?
You said that?
Adam and Eve.
I mean, if you want to talk about this human category, the idea of people in a nation or even a family all getting along, Michelle, it doesn't happen.
It's all about.
Oh, I do.
I am not that much of a dreamer.
You think Obama can pull it off because he wants to unify us?
Did you just hear me talking about the Department of Homeland Security report he put out?
So people like me are right-wing extremists ready to form militias and take over.
That's absolute BS.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me just say this: two things.
To answer that, I would like to hear your idea rather than what he has.
You know, if you have nothing good to say, why say it?
But it's because you're an entertainer.
This is your job.
No.
Yes.
You told me yesterday that you didn't want to be a politician because you'd have to take a pay cut.
That's right.
But I don't want to be a politician because that's a different line of work.
And I'm too honest to be a politician.
You what?
Too honest to be a politician.
Well, see, you know, that's what I think, too, that there's been so much corruption for so many years.
And I feel that people are being outed now.
That's a good thing.
Do you agree or not?
Yes or no?
People being outed.
What do you mean outed?
Well, that they are corrupt.
You're seeing it every day, the politics.
No, no, what I see is the corrupt getting away with it.
Well, they've been getting away with it.
Well, and they're continuing to get away with it.
Well, you know what, Rush?
He's been in office for three months.
Give the man a break.
He's only human.
No, wait a minute.
Obama.
What did you think of the mood in the country?
The mood?
No, What did, when George Bush was president and the left in this country was calling him Hitler and calling him a liar, and they were trying to engineer the defeat of the U.S. military in Iraq, what did you think then about the attempt to unify the country and everybody get along?
Again, and I don't mean to sound, you know, I wasn't aware of so much back then.
I would hear things.
I would hear bad things about Bush.
I didn't like politics because of all the lies, because of all the deceit.
But now you like politics because of Obama.
Because Obama suddenly inspired me, and I thought, this man is saying what I need to hear, what I want to hear.
You have made a point that I've been making.
It's not what he says.
It's how he says it.
You think he's been saying what you want to hear.
But you probably couldn't tell me specifically what he said.
He just creates an aura or an image for you, blank slate, and he can become a solution to all these problems that you've grown up around with America and so forth.
So he has inspired you, and he's done it all with talk.
Oh, Michelle, I have to go.
The segment here has gone long as it is.
You know, dreamers and hopers, I just want to tell you, since you're a dreamer and a hoper, dreamers and hopers succeed through liberty.
Not government control, not taxation, not brilliant speeches.
That's the opposite of nurturing dreamers and hopers.
Reliance and dependence destroy dreams and hopes.
Dreams and hopes are fine, but without action, they're nothing.
You're just sitting around hoping.
And when you're sitting around hoping, you can fall prey to some slick speaker who can make you think your hopes and dreams are coming true when, in fact, the country you've known and grown up in is being torn apart right around you, and you don't even see it.
We'll be back.
One thing about Michelle, you know, she said she wants to know what I stand for.
And that's not hard to do.
You turn on the radio and you listen, or you go to rushlinbaugh.com.
And so what's happening is she's listening to her friends and family or whatever who are telling her, don't call me, oh, you're going to be, oh, you're going to be chewed up and spit out and so forth and so on.
At any rate, let's see.
Marion in Fox Island, Washington.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
This is not my grandmother America.
And DHS is talking about me.
I'm Heartland America, and I am not a right-wing extremist, but I feel like King Olaf during the Second World War, he wore a Star of David to put himself with the people who were being oppressed.
And I feel like putting an armband on, saying right-wing extremist, to let people know who they're talking about.
Well, I understand your anger about this.
But look at this is the Obama administration.
You know, they say Janet and it's Palatano, but this is what Obama thinks.
This is what Bill Ayers thinks.
It's what Jeremiah Wright thinks.
Right.
And he populates his administration with these people.
And it's clear that they consider people like you to be a greater enemy than genuine threats to our freedom and existence.
Exactly.
So it's, and this is playing to, of course, the left-wing fringe base that voted for Obama.
This is.
So you can wear a T-shirt.
You can wear anything you want, right-wing extremist and so forth.
And it would just be said by those who saw you that finally they're admitting it.
They wouldn't get the humor of it.
I don't know.
That's true.
But you're right to be offended by it.
And by the way, if you read the whole thing, there's not one bit of evidence.
It's all speculation.
It's an intelligence report from the Department of Homeland Security, and there's not one bit of it.
Even go back and quote Timothy McVeigh in this thing.
Well, King Olaf did it for a reason, to let the Jews know that they were not alone.
And probably something like that, if we did that, it would let other people like us know that we're not alone.
And I resent them taking America away from me.
I grew up in the same America that you did, Rush, and I feel the terrible loss of it.
A lot of people do, and that's why the Tea Parties are starting tomorrow.
This intelligence report from DHS is the same party, same political party that made up intelligence and politicized intel.
It's just to me it isn't shocking.
Its brazenness is.
The fact that Obama thinks this is not surprising.
The fact that his Department of Homeland Security would put it out as openly as this is a little surprising.
Anyway, got to take a break.
Thanks for the call, Marion.
We'll be back after this.
I think I'll send Janet Napolitano a quick little note saying, Madam Secretary, given your latest report from the Department of Homeland Security, don't close Guantanamo Bay.
