Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 Podcast.
The views expressed by the host on this show.
Me.
Rush Limbaugh.
Now documented to be almost always right, 99.1% of the time.
Great to have you back.
A fastest three hours in media, the fastest week.
It's already Thursday, and we're almost finished with it, at least here.
Our portion of it on the EIB network.
Telephone number if you would like to join us, 800-282-2882, the email address El Rushbo at EIB net.com.
Remember just the other day, uh ladies and gentlemen, I was illustrating for you how the media uses polling to lie.
How the media uses polling to create news that they want to report.
That's right, Snerdley, it was yesterday.
And now I have another glittering example of it.
Courtesy of the gang at Gateway Pundit.
A Quinnipiac University poll reported today that Americans oppose Obamacare.
American voters oppose Obama Healthcare Plan, Quinnipiac University National Poll fines.
GOP gets lowest grades since Obama elected.
Forty-seven percent of Americans oppose Obamacare.
Only 40% approve of Obamacare in the poll.
So how does the state controlled media report the news?
Here's Bloomberg.
Voters back Obama over Republicans on health care poll fines.
That's not at all what the poll found.
The poll found that 47% of the people oppose Obama's health care plan, 40% oppose it, or in favor of it.
Voters back Obama over Republicans on health care poll fines.
The dirty little secret is it doesn't matter what the Republicans say, do, or think about health care.
Could the media be any more in the tank?
That's just that's an example.
Now from the American thinker.com.
Monty Kuligowski.
What are you laughing at?
Oh, you're laughing at the last name.
You're not supposed to laugh at people's names.
I wondered what I said that was so funny.
I'm gonna realize I make people laugh even when I don't intend to, but I all I did was say by Monty Kuligowski.
In Monty Kuligowski says, How about those Obama approval ratings?
Here's a quote from this piece at AmericanThinker.com by Monte Kuligowski.
How on earth is Obama's approval rating rising?
He only got 53% of the vote.
He has further divided, not united the country.
Just five days prior, the same day Obama was rejected in Copenhagen, it was announced the unemployment rate hit 9.8%.
And yet he's got a 56% approval rating.
I don't find this credible.
Again, these are the words of Monty Kuligowski at the AmericanThinker.com.
This is an APGFK poll.
By the way, I did not know who these GFK people were.
You know, we have AP Ipsos.
We have ITTIBD.
We've got all these pilot.
I never heard of the GFK gang.
GFK guest, so I looked them up.
They're in Germany or not Norway, because Oprah 8 Norway, the Germany somewhere.
Research firm.
That's who AP partners with here.
The uh new AP GFK poll results released Tuesday reveal that Obama's approval rating is up six points from last month to 56%.
It's his first ratings at time have gone up since taking office.
Just five days prior, the same Obama was rejected in Copenhagen.
It was announced the unemployment rate hit 9.8%.
This 56% number is just not credible.
So I went to the AP GFK webpage, writes Monty Kuligowski.
I wanted to know how the question was framed and to whom it was presented.
The question seems fair enough.
Here's The question.
Overall, please tell me whether you approve, disapprove, or neither approve nor disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as president.
Some questions of clarification are then asked, for example, is that strongly approve or somewhat approve?
The responses are broken up into six categories.
Strongly approve, somewhat approve, lean toward approve, lean toward disapprove, somewhat disapproved, strongly disapprove.
Who knows whether there is any effect to stating approve before disapprove when asking the question?
In both basic categories, 27% strongly approve and 27% strongly disapprove of Obama.
Maybe they should just keep the poll simple, approve or disapprove.
One factor that Monty Kuligowski here at AmericanThinker.com found interesting is the polling question directly preceding Obama's approval rating question.
Prior question is, when you think about how things are going in your life in general, would you say you're very happy, somewhat happy, neither happy nor unhappy, somewhat unhappy, or very unhappy?
And if you're unhappy, is it because you're on the pill?
Now I just threw that in there.
That story is coming up.
Since most people want to admit to being happy, the order of the questions is somewhat suspect to me.
After a person answers happy, which 78% did, the very next question turns to approval or disapproval of Obama.
And Lord knows our generation believes the president's responsible for providing jobs, making people happy, and all that.
I mean, there are all kinds of reasons to be happy.
So I wanted to know whether the same formula was put forth when polling about Bush.
Unfortunately, the website archives don't go back that far.
Also, it's interesting that the poll methodology is not listed for this particular poll.
We only know that 1,000 three adults were surveyed, surveyed as a 3.1% uh margin of error, and the results supposedly carry a 95% confidence level.
Data on the website from a past poll indicates the very survey sample included the uh contiguous 48 states plus Alaska and Hawaii.
By the way, for those of you in Hawaii, I have bad news.
They are going to raise the unemployment compensation tax on employers to pay for unemployment benefits and extensions.
There's a little side note for those of you out there in the South Pacific.
So how on earth is Obama's approval rating rising?
He only got 53% of the vote.
He has further divided, not unified the country.
Monty Kuligowski concludes, I think the poll result is fishy.
Now, we had a call.
We had a call with uh old buddy Brett in Philadelphia.
And we talked about the economy and the way the the uh uh media reports it.
And here is a story on the CNN Money.com website that I do not believe passed their editors.
The headline, take this jobless recovery and shove it.
Economists argue that job growth always lags following a recession, but this time may be different.
It's hard to have a recovery with unemployment near 10%.
Listen, it's by Paul LaMonica.
Australia's rising interest rates, the global recession is over.
The only question now is how strong and fast the economic rebound will be.
Hip hip hip ray.
Not so fast.
I hate to ruin the celebration, but before you throw another shrimp on the Barbie, consider this.
All the talk about whether or not the economy is currently in the midst of a U-shaped, V-shaped, W-shaped, and L-shaped, or a J-shaped recovery misses the point.
Sure, the recession may technically be over, stocks are rallying once more on hopes the economy may finally be growing again, but as long as people continue to worry about their jobs and with good reason, it's unlikely that any rebound will feel like a recovery to the people that matter most, and that's consumers.
The National Retail Federation announced Tuesday that it expects sales during the holiday shopping season to be down one percent from last year.
Aha, that's that's optimistic.
In its forecast, the NRF cited concerns about job losses and anemic wage growth as primary reasons why consumers are likely to spend less.
Simply put, the notion that unemployment can be dismissed as a lagging indicator, and that the economy can enjoy healthy growth in a so-called jobless recovery may be a myth.
Maybe a myth.
It is a myth.
You talk about drinking the Kool-Aid, and this is a this is exactly the media.
This guy's obviously an op-ed guy that they are putting on this website for balance, because I guarantee you, nobody at CNN thinks it feels this way.
Because they're all in the tank reporting, yeah, it's gonna be a it's get a recovery's already roaring back out there.
It really isn't a jobless recovery.
Unemployment always uh lagging indicator.
And anybody with a brain though, how can you have a recovery with no jobs being created?
How the hell does that happen?
Does it mean all this new money's going into Wall Street?
Why is money going into Wall Street?
Because the real economy is a disaster and getting worse.
There's no place in the real economy to put money.
So stocks and municipal bonds are it for liquidity right now, which is basically why there's activity in the stock market.
I mean, take a look at the gold price if you want to really know what's going on and what people think the future holds, particularly for inflation.
If that kicks in, as it almost has to with this debt and this this printing of money, you throw that in the mix with no jobs and more jobs being lost, and Obama will not be able to print enough money to keep people eating.
These are dark days for our nation.
I know I was gonna do Nancy Snyderman, but I haven't got the audio from the Fox guy yet.
Let me check on that.
We'll be back and continue in just a sec.
Stay with us.
Coming up in a minute, try this headline.
This is from uh Time magazine.
Calling them out, White House takes on the press.
The White House thinks the press is giving it the shaft.
But first, ladies and gentlemen, let's go back to our archives from earlier in today's program.
During her program at uh 12 noon on PMS NBC, Dr. Nancy Snyderman promoted an upcoming segment by saying this.
Why does one popular radio talk show host not want to get his flu shots?
Uh, when did medicine get hijacked by politics?
When did medicine get hijacked by politics?
What the hell is national health care being put together by a bunch of warrior doofus politicians?
When did medicine get hijacked by politics?
Have you heard of the people you vote for, Dr. Snyderman?
The Democrat Party.
When did medicine get hijacked by pol No, in her warped worldview?
I, L. Rushbow, your devoted host, have hijacked medicine by politicizing my announced refusal to um follow the command of the Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sabelius.
This is the segment from Dr. Snyderman.
Rush Limbaugh's take on the H1N1 vaccine.
Now you've got Kathleen Sibelius saying you must take the pig flu vaccine.
You must take it.
Screw you, Miss Sibelius.
I am not going to take it precisely because you're now telling me I must.
Outrageous.
If I could make the spin higher than five, I would, but my thermometer would break.
Totally crazy.
Are you not going to put on your seatbelt?
Are you not going to take your anti-hypertensives?
Are you not going to do what people suggest for you to do just to take care of yourself, Mr. Limbaugh?
This is not a conspiracy.
These are doctors and scientists who donated hours of their lives, dedicated themselves to trying to make people like you well.
It's a vaccine that works.
What silliness.
And my concern is that people listen to you and won't get well.
So you people are going to listen to me say, I'm not going to take the swine flu vaccine, and you're not going to either, and you're going to get sick, and it's all my fault.
That's exactly how it works.
Now, I've never had a doctor suggest I get a flu shot.
and Never had one suggested.
I've never had one.
But this notion that I and there are doctors.
There are doctors and scientists who donated hours of their life.
Donated my rear end.
They're about to donate under Obamacare, but they're not donating yet, Dr. Snyder.
Sorry.
So let's go to some interesting audio, shall we?
From a doctor.
Dr. Kent Holtorf.
From September 2009 is on Studio B, Fox News Channel.
A co host Greg Jarrett interviewed the infectious disease expert, Dr. Kent Holtorf.
Jarrett says, Doctor, what do you think of the pig flu vaccination?
I have more concern about the vaccine than I do about the swine flu.
It's been rushed to market.
There are high levels of uh adjuncts which um make it more potent.
It's kind of an unrefined method that they use.
They had these high levels of these adjuncts, including it.
It's an antiseptic uh preservative, and hasn't that been linked in some cases to autism?
It has.
And you look at it, it's been shown to cause autism in children with mitochondrial dysfunction.
Oh, the problem is you don't know if your child has mitochondrial dysfunction.
I also worry about children, pregnant women, chronic neurological illnesses, and chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
I've seen these people have been devastated by these infections.
Would you give it to your kids?
I definitely would not.
Oh, what are we to do?
What are we to do?
Listen to me and Dr. Holtorf or Dr. Snyderman.
What a dilemma.
What would you do, Snerdly, in this case?
We if I if I heard this right, I'd talk to my doctor too.
If I were I'd say, I'd ask my doctor, I heard an infectious disease expert say that there is a uh uh antiseptic preservative that's been linked to autism in this vaccine.
Is that true?
If my kid has mitochondrial dysfunction, and I give the kid the vaccine, could get autism.
And Dr. Snyder, this is not a conspiracy.
These are doctors and scientists donating hours of their lives, dedicated themselves to try to make people like you well, Mr. Limbaugh.
It's a vaccine that works.
What silliness.
The real point again, uh once again, Dr. Snyderman.
Mine was not a medical reaction to Kathleen Sibelius.
It was a political reaction.
I I I am I've not reached the point, like apparently you have, Dr. Snyderman, where you're just a mind-numbed robot and a sheep.
And some government official who's a dunce to boot, issues a demand with no constitutional authority.
There is no law.
She cannot make me take this.
That's what I react to.
That's what I'm rejecting to.
Well, that you what understand, Snerdley?
Snerdley's blowing his gasket in there.
You're already well.
What does she mean?
What does she mean?
People won't get well.
She's assuming everybody already is sick, I guess, if she if she meant to say what she said.
But you know what reminds me I was this was during the Clinton years.
I think it was the Clinton years.
Might have been Bush 41 years.
I know it was during this show, which started in 1988, there was a town hall meeting somewhere in the Midwest, and the people that showed up were raucous and unruly, and CNN was the network televising thing.
And Bernard Shaw was the AMA.
He was trying to quiet the crowd.
Wait for the officials, he said.
Meaning whoever from the government was showing up to conduct this particular town hall.
I don't even remember what it was about.
Wait for the officials.
And I'm saying, why are the officials godlike to you, Bernard?
Just because they're in government, they are infallible?
And they have to be listened to all the time.
They are never wrong.
Or is it that you just are a total authoritarian and you will bow down to the authority of anybody who is in government who attempts to exert any totalian totalitarian control over people.
So and I'm thinking the same thing here with Nancy Snyder and everybody else, Kathleen Sibelius.
Kathleen Sibelius?
Who taught us how to sneeze properly?
Into our freaking arms?
And sleeves?
Is now saying we must take this thing, and there's no.
Who the hell are you to tell us we must do anything?
Have you heard of the concept of liberty and freedom?
The Myth or Limbaugh, Mr. Limbo, they're only doing it for your own good.
They're only trying to protect you from getting the thine flu, the pig flu, and everything else flu.
No, they're not doing it for our own good.
That's where you new Castrati guys don't get it.
It's not about they think we're incapable of doing things for ourselves.
They are the biggest screw-ups on the face of the earth.
They can't run anything, they can't turn a profit, they print money, they lose money, they're destroying the private sector, and we gotta listen to them as though they tell us oh you don't know what's good for you.
And I guess Dr. Snyderman is of that view.
We don't know what's good for us.
Kathleen Sibelius knows what's good for us.
Doctors, scientists, donated hours of their lives.
I really want to see the proof of that.
I want to see all these donations of time to come up with the pig flu virus.
As I say, the only donations that doctors are going to be making will come after h Obama's health care is enacted, because he's not gonna pay them.
He's going to reduce their payments, he's going to reduce Medicare expenses by and which he claims he's not gonna do.
Uh it's a disaster.
I got a story, it's a very long story.
I hate long stories because it's tough to synthesize, but a former speech writer, Wendy Button, speech writer for John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Obama, and Mayor Tom Manino of Boston has moved to Massachusetts from Washington and she's lost her health care.
She moved to a place that has universal health care and she can't get it.
And she writes a piece here.
My gosh, if you people in Washington want to find out what you're about to do, come look at the mess in Massachusetts.
The speech writer for these Democrats.
Okay, back we go to the phones.
Um carried away here, folks.
There's so much news out there.
And sometimes I just I uh I forget people are on hold, so I I'm sorry about that.
I appreciate your patience.
We'll start uh back on the phones in Orlando, Florida.
This is Brian.
Thank you, sir, for holding on and welcome.
Diddos, Rush.
Uh, it's a pleasure to speak to you.
Thank you.
First time caller, but have listened since 1990.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I think they need to send this bill to Detroit for the dog poop collection.
Uh I I'm a small business owner, and I am extremely worried about the devastating effect the how health care bill will have on small business.
And they're going to do this mainly through the employer mandate.
Uh in the employer mandate, it requires employers uh to cover 72.5% of the employees' health care cost.
Uh but the big kicker.
Okay, go ahead and say I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna relax your mind well, somewhat, but uh go ahead.
Uh the big kicker uh in in the bill is that employers are gonna have to um cover sixty-five percent of the employees' families health care costs.
Yes.
And in my business, I've done the math.
My business currently we pay about $10,000 a month for employee health care.
Per employer total.
Total.
I mean, for the employees, total.
Yep.
No, no, is that 10,000 per employee or 10,000 for all of your employees?
For all the employees.
All of them don't take the health care.
Uh so I got about 50% of the employees on the plan.
Um now, if the bill gets enacted, I will have a nine-fold increase in uh in my health care cost.
It will go up to ninety-two thousand dollars a month.
That is health uh if the health care bill gets passed.
That is by design.
Now go ahead.
That's by design.
Right.
So essentially what I'll have to do as an employer is dump all those employees onto the public plan.
Exactly right.
That's exactly the plan.
You will have no choice.
It's either that or go out of business and shut the doors.
Right.
This is exactly the plan that how they're going to force everybody into the public option.
Yep.
And And all these employees think that they got health care at their business.
Well, they do right now.
As soon as this bill gets passed, uh, not only is the employer going to have to fire some employees because even even the eight percent uh payroll tax for me is going to be a threefold increase in my health care costs.
Right.
Uh so I'm going to have to uh look and see if I can keep employees uh and uh of those employees that get to stay, they're gonna have to go on the government plan.
Um believe me when I tell you this is all part of the plan.
Oh, I I totally believe that.
The every aspect of it, the increase in unemployment, the expenses to you as a small businessman forcing you to cancel your plan and then get people in the public option.
Um as I say, according to the weekly standard yesterday, folks, Obama is shepherding this.
It was really a well-written paragraph.
Obama is angry.
He has a chip on his shoulder.
This is an unjust and immoral country.
These people in Detroit that we played the audio sum, those are model citizens.
And I don't mean these are the people Obama's proud of.
These this they live the way he wants everybody living.
These people are totally dependent on him.
They think they're showing up Cobo Hall and getting money from Obama.
You ought to hear the bites if you haven't heard them.
I've already played them twice today.
It's now that's a straight thing.
You ought to hear the bites if you haven't heard them.
I'm responsible for playing them.
What numbers are they?
Mike, is it one and two?
Yep, well, here.
Here's one is from today, two's from yesterday.
Here they are.
This is what Obama wants.
This is and your employees that you lay off because you can't pay for it anymore.
Unemp and they become unemployed.
Guess what?
They become wards of the state.
They become serfs.
Uh and and this is by design.
This Obama is not observing this happening.
It is something he is shepherding.
Here's the first of the two bites.
Why are you here?
To get some money.
What kind of money?
Obama money.
Where's it coming from?
Obama.
And where did Obama get it?
I don't know.
His dash.
I don't know.
I don't know where he got it from.
But he's giving it to us to help us.
We love him.
That's why we voted for it.
Obama!
That's Ken Rogulski.
Uh not to be uh confused with Monty Kowagowski at uh The American Thinker.
This is Ken Rogolski at WJR in Detroit.
That's from today.
This was yesterday.
Did you get an application to fill out yesterday?
I sure did.
I felt it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
Will you know today how much money you're getting?
No, I won't, but uh waiting for a phone call.
Where's the money coming from?
I believe it's coming from the um city of Detroit or the state.
Where do they get it from?
Some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
And where did Obama get the funds?
Oh, Obama might have gotten the funds from um.
I have no idea.
Tell you the truth, he's the president.
In downtown Detroit, Ken Regulski, WJR News.
Okay.
It's coming from Obama stash.
Some funds that was forgiven by Obama.
Here's your future America.
Obama's America.
Now, 65,000 of people just like this showed up to apply for their share of 15.2 million dollars in stimulus money.
3500 of the 65,000 will get some.
That means 62, 61 and a half thousand people will not.
Do you want to be in Detroit when that happens?
When these people realize that Obama's stash wasn't big enough to cover everybody.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer website.
Sit tight.
Are you ready?
Wait for it.
In a chapter of his autobiography, the late Senator Ted Kennedy confessed to having slept with over 1,000 women and spending more than 10 million dollars in hush money to keep his womanizing ways a secret.
If you crack open the book, however, you won't find a mention of this in there anywhere.
That's because horrified family members and advisors cut it out before the book was published.
A close source also revealed to the National Inquirer.
You know, it's sad to say the inquirer is the only place to get real investigative journalism anymore.
I mean, they had the John Edwards story.
A source also revealed to the National Inquirer that uh before he died on August 25th, Senator Kennedy also revealed that he had planned to seduce Mary Joe Capeckney on the night she drowned.
The source said, while dictating his memoirs into a tape recorder, Ted decided to tell a whole truth about his life, including his love life.
He said that his first lover was an Irish nanny.
She was about 19.
Ted was thirteen.
When his mother found out she sent the nanny back to Ireland, Rose made Ted pray on his knees for hours to ask forgiveness.
Ted recalled that even his sore knees couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
From that day on, he says he seduced as many women as he could from maids and cooks at the family's Hyannisport compound to college friends and his sisters brought home.
Now I know many of you think, Fran Fresh, what are you doing?
It's the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
I am not reading the National Inquirer, but the National Inquirer.
They do investigative stuff.
And by the way, we do know of the Kennedy Dodd waitress sandwich routine at La Brasserie in Washington.
And the women have written about it.
The source added that Kennedy even admitted to having planned to seduce Capeckney the night his car plunged off the road and chap a quitic.
But his lawyers and friends begged him not to open that door.
They said that even after his death, it would hurt his legacy and haunt the family.
He relented about Mary Joe, but went on to admit that he seduced the wives of some of his closest friends and even his brother's girlfriends.
Ted had hoped his book would tell the truth about his life, but family members decided to hold off on including certain parts of it out of respect to the family's reputation.
What reputation?
Sorry.
Even though it was removed from the book, it seems the revelations leaked out regardless.
Okay, Cleveland Plain dealer.
Uh Ted Kennedy claimed to have slept with over 1,000 women.
Does that beat Wilt Chamberlain?
What was what?
Oh, so Kennedy's a piker.
Wilt Chamberlain, 20,000 women?
Oh, well, well, I thought the record was in danger here.
All right.
I feel better about everything now.
Look, I'm not going to get to this White House take on the press story from time today.
It's too much to do.
And I'm going to save it for tomorrow.
Also to save the details of the former health care speech writer for Edwards Obama and Clinton writing at Politics Daily about how she's without health insurance now, and she's scared to death is a great piece.
She just nails how rotten government health care is.
Also, uh not the Cleveland Plain Dealer where the Kennedy story came from.
It's a Cleveland leader.
Cleveland Leader.com.
I'm going to give you a Carl Marx quote here.
Carl Marx.
Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.
Need I translate that.
Medicine heals doubts.
As well as diseases.
Carl Marx simply translated.
It means that our government is using medicine slash health care to make us feel better about government.
They're using health care to make us feel better about them.
Medicine heals doubts.
Oh, they really care about our well-being.
And with Mark's understand everything is a scam.
Jeff in Middletown, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Russ, it's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
Hey, I want to comment something you're not hearing too much about.
We're getting ready to uh bomb the moon.
And uh what kind of message does that send, not only to the world, but to the universe if there is life out there.
Such aggressive action.
I it's really surprising to me.
You know, we don't know actually what is living in on the moon.
Yeah, here's the here let me give you the details of this.
Uh I actually think what this is is a test of the new weapon that um I think it's a test of the new weapon that we learned about yesterday, the massive ordnance penetrator, the mop.
This is a uh Well, it's it's it's I don't know.
It seems like a lot of military weapons sound like tools in a porno movie.
Massive ordnance penetrator.
What it is is a bunker busting bomb.
It's supposedly being developed to be able to take out Iranian nuke sites 200 feet below the ground, and the Pentagon's working on it and getting ready to deploy it on a B-2 bomber, which is the stealth bomber.
So maybe this is a test run for the mop, the massive ordnance penetrator.
We are going to bomb the moon.
This is a NASA and Friday, tomorrow we're gonna bomb the moon.
No preconditions, no negotiation.
What did the moon do to us?
Somebody up there on the moon doing things that only Obama knows about.
We're going to bomb the moon.
We you know why?
This stated reason for bombing the moon is near the South Pole of the Moon.
They want to find out if in the explosion, the plume, if there's water.
They are there, it's a it's an unending quest for life.
Because we're all gonna die, you know, uh leafy green vegetables yesterday, the number one cause of death now from center for science of the public interest.
So we're all gonna have to go somewhere.
Uh eventually.
And maybe the moon's uh arrest stop on the way to Alpha Centauri.
And I just you would think that Obama would try sanctions first to see if the moon would give us the water.
Uh this is, folks, here's here's the way this we're gonna this is gonna be televised.
They've got a camera on the thing, and the massive ordnance penetrator gets launched from the rocket as it approaches the moon.
The camera on the rocket will follow the missile for four minutes, and then it explodes.
But the massive ordnance penetrator penetrates the moon first, and there's supposed to be a giant plume that even amateur astronomers with their home telescopes should be able to see.
And you have to ask.
Why why do we why do we care?
At this stage, people in Detroit are starving.
People in Houston, or hell, people everywhere starving.
And we're bombing the moon.
The moon didn't provoke us.
The moon's not attacking, the moon's not getting any closer.
So the quest is there water there, then maybe there's life somewhere underneath.
Maybe there has been life somewhere before on the uh on the moon.
Look, I understand the quest.
You know, we we are strange creatures.
We have the vanity that makes us believe that improving our standard of living, uh typified by the kind of cars we drive can destroy our climate and thus our ability to live.
We are so vain.
We actually think we have this ability, this power.
At the same time, we have this massive inferiority complex.
There have to be other people out there.
There have to be other life forms, and naturally, if there are, they are all 25 billion times as smart as we are.
And that's why we must find them.
Because they have learned how to have peace forever.
No war, no bombs, no sickness, no pestilence, no insects, no cockroaches.
