Time Text
Just remember one thing, folks.
War cannot be won with apologies.
And that's what Obama basically did today was apologize for the behavior of the United States in the past seven years.
You don't win wars on defense.
You don't win wars with apologies.
Greetings and welcome Rush Limbaugh and the most listened to radio talk show in the country.
Our telephone number if you want to join us.
800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushbaugh at EIB net.com.
The FBI busted a homegrown terror cell late yesterday, like well, last night, as uh the four men sneaked around a Jewish temple in Riverdale, planting uh what they thought was packages of C4 explosives.
The four African American men, three of whom were said to be jailhouse converts to Islam.
So, yeah, let's let's bring these Guantanamo Bay guys up to our prisons, and maybe maybe we can keep them from escaping.
Yeah, but what kind of recruitment can they do from the inside?
The four African American men, three of whom are said to be jailhouse converts to Islam, also allegedly had what they believe was a working stinger missile in their car.
Officials said they hope to shoot down a plane at Stewart Air National Guard base in Newburgh in Orange County.
I have flown in there.
I have a friend that lives up there, and I've flown into Stewart.
I have seen the place.
It's closer than going into Teterboro and then driving up.
It just makes more sense to fly in there.
So I know where this place is.
Sources said that the four men were arrested after a year-long investigation.
It began when an informant connected to a mosque in Newburgh said he knew men who wanted to buy explosives.
So FBI agents posing as militants sold them what they thought was 30 pounds of C4 and a stinger missile.
It was all phony.
The men were arrested as they planted fake bombs in front of the Riverdale Temple in the Bronx and under cars parked in front of the synagogue, and they were going to use the stinger to shoot down airplanes that were coming in and going out of uh of Riverdale.
So Jewish hating Muslim extremists actually do try to carry out their threats.
Jewish hating Muslim extremists actually try to carry out their threats, but somehow we don't think Iran will.
I mean, these guys were not broadcasting their intent.
These four guys, they got caught with an informant, Mahmood Ach Madinizad, is broadcasting what he intends to do.
And yet, President Obama appears to be getting comfortable with the idea that Iran will soon have nuclear weapons.
They're launching missiles that have a range, and they're being very proud of this that can hit uh that can hit Israel.
Yeah, and Europe and U.S. bases.
Yes, true Snertley, yes, everybody wants to get in on the act.
Ever since I retired, resigned as the titular head of the GOP.
Now everybody thinks that I've lost some authority here, and they can just chime in and make me say what they would say if they were hosting.
Yes, okay, parts of Europe and American bases.
Yes, it's a big range.
Mahmood's missiles can hit.
The point is there doesn't seem to be any urgency here to stop any of this.
In fact, Leon Panetta over at the CIA said that there'd be big trouble if Israel were to independently attack Iran.
Let me tell you what's being set up here.
No, no, no, no.
By the way, the drive by media, from what I heard yesterday, drive by media is totally misreporting the meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and uh Obama.
Apparently Netanyahu said, yet, and yet yet, no, no, no.
It was not at all the Obama, here's the way it's gonna be, bud, and you're gonna behave this way.
It wasn't that way at all.
Obama tried it, but Netanyahu didn't go along with it.
Um, here's here's what I think the strategy of the United States defense establishment's gonna be.
They have to know that at some point the Israelis, excluding the ones in Tel Aviv, because that's like San Francisco.
The Israelis are gonna have to do something about this because they can't afford, they they are a nation at constant war.
They can't afford to not believe Ahmed Dinizad.
Especially when Ahmadine's odds getting close to the nukes, launching test missiles, threatening to wipe them off the map.
They can't afford to ignore him.
And at some point, if they take him out, you know, the uh drive by media says that the American defense establishment has told Netanyahu he's got to get permission.
I think it's just the exact opposite.
I think he's been told if you do it, we don't want to know.
If you do it, don't tell us.
We don't want to be complicit.
You do it, you do it on your own.
We're not gonna know that you did it, because then we could have stopped you, then we become a bigger target.
That's the defensive posture of this administration.
That's what I think is actually the operating strategy here when it when it comes to all this.
But now here we have this story about Jewish hating Muslim extremists.
They had taken steps to wipe out two Jewish synagogues and a jet from the sky.
Shocking news.
See, I if you listen to Obama, I thought all this was just rhetoric, that none of these people really meant this.
As long as we close Guantanamo or say we're going to, then these people are going to care.
They're going to be nicer to us.
They're going to stand back and they're going to say, hmm, hmm.
Maybe we've been wrong about America.
It's not how they do it.
They sit back and they watch all this, and uh uh they laugh and they see weakness.
So if I'm if I'm Obama, and snerdily ask me at the top of the break, you know, you've got this guy pegged.
How do you I mean you just how how do you do it?
How do you get you you the minute I hear you describe Obama in the first hour of the program, I know you're right, you've got him pegged.
I said, I've worked for people like this.
I've worked with people this kind of ego and arrogance, unchallengeability.
They've not had this kind of power, but I mean I've I've worked with this personality.
Plus, I know liberals, folks.
I've just studied them.
You know, I know what they're gonna say and do before they do it.
That's why I am so often able to go back to the archives of this program and say, here's what I said six months ago, and this just happened, isn't it?
Because I know them.
Now, if Obama had not been forced to be on the defense and make his speech here defending what he's gonna do with Guantanamo Bay, his attitude to the news of the four Jewish hating Muslim extremists who were captured in a sting opposition operation might have gone like this.
Obama calling this a terror plot is not going to help heal the wounds.
Having Guantanamo Bay open probably caused this or led to this.
Fighting in Iraq, maybe the drone missiles in Pakistan.
Let's have an open heart and an open mind.
We can respect each other's different points of view without condemning these for them.
We must understand that we brought this on ourselves.
There's also a contraving view out there that this plot to blow up Jewish people in New York City happens to be politically convenient for Obama.
The fact that the terrorists are home grown, some people think feeds right into the uh Obama's belief that America is the true enemy, not the Muslims.
I don't think this is gonna fly.
Uh Obama had nothing to do with capturing any of these people.
This was the New York FBI that's been tracking these people for over a year.
In case you missed it in the first hour, President Obama has approved plans for the United States to help the United Arab Emirates, i.e., Dubai, become the first Arab nation with a nuclear power industry that will fuel the country's growing demand for electricity.
Under the pact, the United Arab Emirates, i.e.
Dubai, must import rather than produce fuel for its nuclear reactors.
The United Arab Emirates also has committed uh not to enrich uranium or reprocess spent nuclear fuel for plutonium, which is used in nuclear bombs.
Okay, so we're gonna let the UAE and Dubai get a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy to power their growing needs and demands for electricity.
I expect when people hear this, they're going to freak out.
I mean, we wouldn't let them run the ports.
Why are we giving them nuclear power?
I don't understand.
Well, I don't know why either.
Um I frankly, folks, I don't have a problem with it.
Some people think, and I don't think Obama is this way, I don't think he's this smart in this in this sort of calculating way.
Some people think that the UAE nuclear deal is to get ourselves a foothold in the region to do sort of balance out uh Iran, and that we're actually doing over there is putting together nuclear weapon manufacturing facility under the guise of nuclear power, just challenge Iran.
I don't buy that at all.
I just don't, because I don't think Obama considers Iran enough problem.
If we want to deal with Iran, we'll let the Israelis do it and pretend we didn't know.
And uh we don't we don't need another nuclear manufacturer.
This guy's running around saying he wants to get rid of all nuclear weapons, so you get in the UAE, Dubai, build electrical power plants.
What frosts me about this is that while we are exporting the technology and the means for Dubai and the United Arab Emirates to go nuclear to satisfy their growing demand for electricity.
What the hell are we doing?
We are exploring freaking worthless windmills and solar panels and driving little beanie cars, taking ourselves back to the stone age, while telling these other people around the world and showing them and teaching them and giving them the stuff necessary for them to go nuclear to produce their power.
Not good enough here.
We're trying to take out the coal industry.
We're trying to take out big oil and go nuclear in the UAE.
Well, we go windmill and solar panel.
Oh, and curly cute little compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Sorry, folks.
That's what I see about this that uh that angers me.
Before we go to the break, a statistic.
In the past six years, United States military.
There have been 3,444 combat deaths the last six years.
I looked it up.
Cafe standards, mileage standards, emissions standards for American automobiles, kill 3,009 per year.
500 more Americans die per year than combat deaths in six years because of CAFE standards.
This is from CNBC.
The key to better mileage is lighter weight cars in which people die more often in traffic accidents.
Since CAFE passed in 1975, smaller cars have killed almost 50,000 more people than otherwise would have died on our roads and highways, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is an arm of our government.
And that was in 2002.
CAFE kills up to 3,900 extra people every year, a study by Harvard and the Brookings Institution has concluded.
It finds that for every 100 pounds less than an automobile weighs, up to 780 more people die in traffic accidents in a year.
Now the Liberals told us American deaths, not just combat, but American deaths since the war began, March 19th of 2003, 4,296.
The combat deaths, 3,444, 3,900 deaths on the highways, additional because of cafe standards.
Maybe the networks will start reading off the names of those Americans killed as a result of cafe standards at the end of their broadcasts.
Cafe standards that Barack Obama ordered as a commander-in-chief would order troops into battle.
decision.
The Karzar in chief has just signed the death warrants of thousands and thousands of innocent Americans.
I doubt they'll get, families will get letters of condolence.
And you might say that this is a sneak attack on the social security system.
More people get killed in cafe standard autumn crashes, the less you'll have to pay out in the future.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC Washington is on television right now talking about how long these speeches were today.
Obamas, I'm telling you, we got cast road.
Some people thought I said castrated in the first hour.
I wanted to clarify this.
We got cast road.
I just wandered on and on and on and on and on and on and other than that.
It was about him and him and his father and how his personal story weaved into or woven into national security.
All right, people have been waiting patiently on the phones.
So that's what we're gonna do.
Take a phone call.
We go to Woodby Island in Washington.
Barbara, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I'm so happy and proud to be talking to you.
It's the first time I've ever called and actually gotten through.
You're very lucky.
That doesn't happen to many Americans.
I know.
There are people out there been trying to get in for 20 years who haven't made it.
It was meant to be.
And your last statement that you said we got castroed, not castrated.
Well, let me just say that the only person that got castrated today was Barack Obama and Dick Cheney had the knife.
I am I've also You know, I just love it when women talk this way.
I don't I don't I don't know why.
I don't know why, but I uh you know, I have always been a proud American, but today for the first time, I think this was Dick Cheney's finest hour because besides you, I he he spoke for me.
He spoke for the way I feel.
He was not only compelling, but he was gutsy.
He wasn't defiant, he wasn't defensive.
Uh he was on the offense, and I just absolutely love the part where he was talking about the little the men uh caused disasters and the overseas contingency plan.
He it was so great.
It was like what he was saying was look, if it if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
But the way he said it was just was just riveting.
I actually started to miss up when he started to talk about 9-11 and the reasoning behind what the Bush administration did.
Because there's going to come a day when Obama and the Liberals are gonna have to stop blaming George Bush for this.
Well, when is that day going to be?
I hope it's soon, but no, but what's it gonna facilitate?
What what what what is uh what's gonna be the catalyst of the event that see, I think you're wrong.
I think if there's another hit, if there's another hit, guess what?
All of this is to set up blaming Bush and Chaney for the next hit.
Because if you listen to Obama with this nonsense that Guantanamo Bay was a recruitment tool for Al-Qaeda terrorists, nothing could be further from the truth.
They were recruiting before we opened Guantanamo Bay.
We got hit by them before Guantanamo Bay.
The number one recruitment tool for them is a successful attack.
9-11 itself was the giant recruitment tool.
There has not been an attack on our soil since, but they're running around setting all this up so that torture and suspension of uh rights and they're they're gonna get away or try to get away with blaming Bush if there is another attack.
Uh remains to be seen if they succeed with that, but I know that that's what their their intent is.
I think I think actually the the blame Bush is actually showing signs of starting to fail.
There I live here in Oak Harbor, uh, on Wibby Island, where we're proud hosts of a naval air station, and we're retired Navy.
And there's two islands.
It's uh it's like the the island's like 47 miles long.
Well, the north half of the island is pretty conservative, but the South uh part of the island is very, very left wing.
And there's like an underground up here.
We can't we have to be careful what we say as to who we talk to.
And I think that Dick Cheney today, I actually feel now, because I'm a graphic designer and photographer, so I have clients here on the island, and most of my clients right now are left leaning grants uh from the county, you know, the Department of Ecology and things like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Every time I'm very well that I know the type you're talking about.
They run around, I I've I call me.
I'm looking for a grant to do this, I'm looking for a grant to do the grant.
why always why don't you go get a job?
Well, the thing is, is that at every one of these meetings, it is inevitable that somebody brings up the Bush administration, Dick Cheney, Guantanamo Bay, it's formulaic, it's formulaic.
Look at you, Barbara, you're dealing with emotions.
You're not dealing with rational thought, and to react to them that way is going to be very, very uh uh frustrating.
Obama, you you say he thinks he's losing this.
They have to I I I th I think Obama is just outraged that Cheney's out there speaking it all and challenging him.
I think that's what it is.
And you don't challenge the Messiah, you just don't do it.
Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve Bank's latest forecasts for the U.S. economy are gloomier than the ones released three months earlier with an expectation, expectation for higher unemployment and a steeper drop in economic activity.
The Fed now says unemployment will be between 9.2 and 9.6 percent.
The previous forecast was between 8.5 and 8.8, and we're already at 8.9.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not laughing about that.
I'm just laughing at their bad prediction.
They say that the GDP will uh drop between 1.3% and 2%.
The previous estimate was half a percent to 1.3 percent.
So their previous highs, now they're low on the GDP drop.
Now what I have a question, and this is a question that's born of simple logic.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, how can economic forecasts?
Key word, forecasts.
How can economic forecasts get gloomier after the porculus bill and the earmarkless bill were passed, and the bailout of the auto companies, and shaking it to the banks and taking it to AIG and fixing Wall Street?
How can the forecasts get worse after all of these stimulants, these stimulants, the makework jobs, the shovel ready jobs, the roads and bridge repair, all the repair work on the screws, all of the new jobs that are going to be saved and created.
How in the hell can that not be happening?
After all that we have stimulated this economy with.
We have stimulated this economy so far to the tune of a $2 trillion deficit this year.
And a grand total of $11 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years if this stuff doesn't change.
And we were told by Barack Obama that only government, the government was the only entity that could fix this problem.
Obama and Pelosi and dingy Harry and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd said they had all the answers.
That we could borrow and spend our way out of this.
In fact, that's the only thing that we could do.
The only solution we had was to borrow and spend our way out of this.
So they spent all the money and then some.
And things are getting worse, and they're forecast to get worse.
So let's add it up.
This crowd was wrong about Iraq.
They're wrong about Guantanamo Bay, they were wrong about General Patraeus.
They were wrong that Americans want bigger government and higher taxes.
The odds are that this bunch is wrong about the economy too.
Shouldn't, for example, I still cringe when I think of Obama's commencement speeches.
Shouldn't college graduates be encouraged to go out and create jobs instead of working for nonprofits.
Shouldn't college graduates be encouraged to go out and work and produce and lead the next generation to prosperity, so that fewer and fewer freeloaders have to run around and begging for grants.
In fact, with the economy in the tank, not-for-profits will be not in existence if Obama gets his way much longer.
And the same thing for non-profits.
What's...
If the economy keeps tanking, how can the predictions get worse?
And then I want to ask you a question.
Every time President Obama goes out to talk about the economy, when he talks about unemployment, and I'm serious.
I want you to examine in your memory, as you've watched him talk about unemployment or all these economic woes, do you get the sense he really cares about it?
See, I don't.
Do you get the feeling he's really concerned, or is it just platitudinous speeches, establishing an image of a wonderful utopia down the road if we pay the price now?
I don't think he really cares.
This is it's getting worse.
There are ways, by the way, oh what with the limball would you have done differently to stop this?
I already announced it.
There's a way to stop all of this right now.
There's a way to bring it to a screeching halt and start the reversal toward growth.
And it's not complicated, but the problem is it will not stimulate Barack Obama.
And it won't stimulate Dingy Harry.
And it won't stimulate Joe Biden.
Of course, not much does.
It won't stimulate Chris Dodd or Barney Frank.
What has to happen here, folks?
You got to turn the American people loose.
You have got to remove on them the burdensome regulations and taxes that they face.
Employment taxes, investment taxes, capital gains taxes, corporate taxes, reduce that, not increase them.
You stop talking about nationalized health care in the midst of a giant economic downturn.
You stop talking about all of these plans to nationalize this business and that business.
And you turn the American people loose.
It's the American people that make the U.S. economy, not a bunch of politicians and arrogant egghead elites.
Central planning things in Washington, D.C., get this.
You know the cap and trade, the cap and tax program is called the Waxman Markey Bill.
And this is horrible.
You know, after you get through with uh the Obama fixing the car business and this new $1,300 additional cost per car, which is going to be much more than that by the time 2016 comes around.
And don't think you're going to save money on gasoline because you're using less, because they're just going to have to raise the gas tax.
Government never does with less.
You're walking into tax increases if you do everything they t they tell you to do.
You just walk in dead aim right into tax increase after tax increase.
And this cap and trade is even worse.
What it'll do to your utility bill every month is double what's going to happen to the price of your little putt-putt car, your clown car that you're going to be forced to drive in.
In anticipation of tomorrow's House Energy and Commerce Committee vote on the Waxman Markey legislation, cap and tax, the National Black Chamber of Commerce released a new study that determines the potential economic impact of the federal cap and tax system outlined in the bill.
Compiled by CRA International, the analysis determines that by 2030, the law would reduce national GDP, roughly $350 billion below the baseline level, would cut net employment by two and a half million jobs even after accounting for new green jobs, and would reduce earnings for the average U.S. worker by $390 a year.
This is the National Black Chamber of Commerce coming out against Obama's tax and cray at tax and tax and cap and tax.
And while the Feds reporting all these horrible forecasts for economic activity and unemployment, at the same time, some Federal Reserve officials are open to raising the amounts of mortgage and treasury securities that will be purchased beyond the 1.75 trillion dollars they've already committed to buying, according to the minutes from the Fed's April meeting.
Officials, meanwhile, projected an even deeper recession than they expected.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now you're supposed to look at this, oh, goody, oh, goody, oh, goody, they're gonna secure it and they're gonna take care of it, they're gonna back it up.
Let me tell you, is the housing business doing well right now?
Who's who's who's been in charge of fixing whatever's whatever, whatever these people in Washington tell you they're gonna fix, is it worse?
It is worse.
Is it forecast to get worse?
It is forecast to get worse.
Housing market is even forecast to get worse than it is now.
That we're nowhere near the bottom.
But the wizards of smart, they're the ones fixing all this.
Buying up ever more of the private sector.
Let me grab a quick phone call before we go to the break.
It's Patricia in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
A pleasure to speak to you, Rush.
Thank you.
Uh, first of all, on Obama, this is a guy that won the market tank the first time he laughed.
And someone must have told him to knock it off because it didn't look good.
My husband said, how dare that arrogant son of a gun laugh when people are losing their investments?
But to see the way I see him is he's going to get even with us.
Those of us who have worked, saved our money, retired in comfort, and taught our kids that this is the way to do it, he's going to get even with us.
Well, I don't remember him laughing when the Oh he laughed.
Yes, he did.
Well, now what was the what was the give me the specifics of this?
The first time that the market tanked.
When?
Shortly after he took over as president, the market fell, and it seemed like every time he spoke, the market fell, and he came out and they said, Well, what do you think about the market?
And he says, Well, I I can't really worry about that, you know.
Oh, I think it's a good thing.
The market goes up and the market goes down.
Yeah, I we don't we don't pay attention to the market every day and putting our policies together.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Okay, well, you've nailed it.
I mean, you're you are a sitting duck.
You're a target, you're a retiree.
You got some money in his view, and it's in you on you unfairly got it.
Look at I keep saying it.
Repetition sometimes necessary, however.
If you want to understand economics as under Obama, you just have to understand his objective is return the nation's wealth to its quote unquote rightful owners.
And the rightful owners are union members and the poor, the nonproducers, in his view, they've all been shafted.
That's why they don't have any money.
They've been shafted by the people who do have the money.
Um, th there's a there's an element of this, too, folks, that is personal that I I have not expressed to you before.
You may have heard of somebody else, but I don't know.
But if you see, I Obama, uh, if you look, and there have been recent stories about how his family lived way beyond its means, before even before the books uh were published and the royalties came in, that they were second mortgaging their house and borrowing.
Remember Michelle running around making speeches how hard it was uh to make ends meet, uh $10,000 for piano lessons and all that during the campaign.
Um all of these liberals have somehow gotten away over the years convincing people the last thing they care about is money.
And I think they care about it more than anybody.
All these charity goods, these nonprofits, they care about money as much as anybody.
They just they they they act like they don't, the nonprofit, the whole term nonprofits to make you think they don't care about money that they're into just good works, but obviously they can't do their good works without somebody giving them money.
But I think if you if you look at the trail you must follow to end up in some form of government service, there's no question that for the vast majority of people in it, your trail takes you through Ivy League schools, Harvard being the preferable one, then Yale, and then the rest of them, Cornell Brown, uh, not to leave anybody out in these Ivy Leagues.
But these people come out of there, they go in arrogant.
They go in as we're the smartest people in the world, because we got in here.
They come out of there even worse.
And I think they have, and they hold a deep resentment for people whom they consider to be half as smart and half as educated, having much more money than they have.
So I think there's a personal element to this, in addition to an ideology, ideological element of wanting to return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners.
I think there's a deep-seated resentment on the left for the rich, except their own rich.
And I think that these people in government think tanks, well, not so many stink tanks, but but the the bureaucracies of government who have all of this education, who are making a G13 salary.
Those who haven't come from family wealth and inherited it.
And they look around and they see Fred Slobodnik, who started from nothing with a widget factory in Oshkosh, who's got what he's got, and they look at Fred Slobodnik as an absolute idiot.
Somebody they'd be embarrassed to be in the same room with.
Twenty-five times as financially successful as they are, and it rubs them wrong.
And I think I think guessing here, but I think Obama is one of these type people.
How much did community organizing pay us?
Whatever you could steal, right?
Well, whatever you could siphon from whatever donations were coming in.
How much did he pay?
How much did being a law professor at University of Chicago pay?
It didn't.
He had to get help from Tony Resco to buy a house, had to get his wife a no-show job at Chicago hospital until the book royalties came in.
Just my two cents, but usually my two cents are worth a hundred bucks.
Never forget that.
I got a story coming up in the next hour you do not want to miss.
It is from the National Post in Canada.
And the headline is this reusable plastic grocery bags may cause food poisoning.
No, that's good, Snerdly.
That's good.
The reusable plastic bags, that's what the environmentalist wackos made to start using because they didn't like the paper.
Everything the liberals tell us to do ends up killing us from cafe standards to social programs.
Well, it's coming up in the next hour, uh other things as well.
Here's Phyllis in Westchester in New York.
Nice to have you, Phyllis.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
I'm so happy to speak to you.
I've been trying to get through for a year, and I really want to first apologize to you.
Really?
Why?
Yes, because uh um I'm a born-again conservative.
I became a conservative on 9-12.
Well, actually, the afternoon of 9-11.
Before that, I was a Kool-Aid drinking liberal.
I'm you know, grew up my childhood in New York City, and it was, you know, with in your mother's milk there.
And I was a teacher, a social studies teacher, history teacher, and I just kind of bought everything that was said about you until I started listening to you.
I love you, Rush.
You d you're a paid.
Well, that isn't sweet.
Uh that uh thank you, Phyllis.
You are you are a hero, you're fighting the good fight.
I every time I hear you savage, because you know, the the whole thing about, oh, he hates.
I have never in the years I've been listening to you, heard you say anything even remotely hateful.
You talk about issues, you talk about facts, you don't attack people as individuals.
And I guess great respect for you for the Well, thank you very much.
You know what?
I'm glad you called and mentioned this, because you um you're you're a great example or illustration of how, you know, the the the characterization of me in the media you used to uh uh frequent is all wrong and it's personal and it's distorted, and the purpose of it was to keep you from listening.
It it was to discredit me in your eyes, so that you wouldn't listen.
The reason the reason those critics, the people you responded to for a while, don't want you listening is because they know the program's effective.
Yes, and also uh as as a historian, I look I'm scared to death.
I grew up during the Cold War with the duck and cover under the desks, and that was pretty scary.
This is much more scary because I see patterns here.
I'm not saying Obama is Hitler, but you see the patterns of fascism.
It didn't take hold in Germany overnight.
It was a slow process over the world.
Yeah, you're you're not you're not the First, to mention that, and and people that mention it to me don't mention it so much in the context of Obama.
The people that mention that similarity to me are concerned about the blindness of the American people who are falling for this.
We've had people like Obama throughout world history.
We always thought Americans were a little bit more astute and observant.
That's what uh alarms most people about the cult-like ability of the low process of political seduction that this guy succeeds with.
UK Telegraph has one of the funniest reviews of an automobile I've ever read.
It's the new Honda hybrid.
And it is it's hilarious.
