Time Text
Well, well, well, President Obama is addressing the assembled multitudes in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate.
He's on the giant screens over there.
I don't know if it's taped or if he's live.
Whatever it was.
He had the God Echo in there.
He had the godlike echo in there.
Here comes Merkel.
She's uh approaching the podium.
Hillary just finished it pouring rain over there, so they have these uh poor people holding umbrellas for these dignitaries who are out there speaking.
Obama said uh the work of freedom is never over.
He left out a word.
The work of ending freedom is never over.
At any rate, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh here, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Today does mark the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, starting to come down.
It was midnight, 20 years ago, that East Germans were allowed to travel past the wall from East Berlin to West Berlin and exercise their freedoms.
When Ronald Reagan demanded of Gorbachev in 1987, Mr. Reagan teared down, or Mr. Gorbachev teared down this wall, it came true two years later on this date.
President Reagan, all but forgotten, it seems, in media coverage of this event, was not alone in his belief in the importance and power of freedom.
The Heritage Foundation was right there all along, reinforcing the policy of military superiority and ideological confrontation with the communist Soviet evil empire.
The Heritage Foundation played a huge role in that intellectual conversation, still does today.
Heritage Foundation was intimately involved in several Reagan administration policies.
It's when they really came of age.
And that's when I first heard about them.
And that's one of the many reasons why I am a member of the Heritage Foundation.
It's the reason that you should and uh and need to be a member yourself.
Because if you become a member today, and then uh 20th anniversary of this historic day, truly meaningful.
Just go online to AskHeritage.org.
Askheritage.org is where you'll find tons of information.
Over a half a million like-minded conservatives are members there.
They are the keepers of the conservative flame inside the beltway.
They are relentless.
AskHeritage.org.
Jack Welch, former CEO General Electric, last Thursday in Boston, blasted the Obama administration and Congressman Barney Frank, telling a banking audience that Democrats' actions to restructure the entire economy are insane.
I desperately want more thoughts so we don't throw out some of the great things that we have in this country.
Welch said there were more than a thousand bankers who watched him via video hookup.
Right now, Barney Frank has the floor.
He can send us down paths that might be bad for us.
That's frightening.
I hope the elections in these two states will slow the speed at which we are attacking climate change, financial regulations, and health care.
We can't just pile up deficits and restructure the entire economy in 12 to 18 months.
It's not doable, it's insane.
But they're doing it.
They are doing it.
And they're going to continue to do it.
There's a stealth second stimulus coming, 250 dollar payments to Social Security recipients, another 20 weeks of unemployment compensation benefits.
But Rush, but Rush, these people desperately, I know, but what they need is work.
What they need is jobs.
And the more you pay people not to work, the less effort they're going to put into finding a job.
And work is what they need and what this country needs.
It is uh it's it's just that simple.
The efforts that are being undertaken here to ostensible 10.2% unemployment, folks.
It's higher than it has been since 1983.
And interestingly enough, the uh the state-controlled associated press has a a pretty devastating take on this.
In the last couple of weeks, we've been getting stories from various state-controlled media outlets that hey, you know what?
It's actually kind of good.
We're just discussing uh and discovering how to share what we have with people, and we're getting in touch with ourselves again and having more time to spend with the families, and we're not traveling as much, we're not polluting as much.
Actually, all these wonderful things have happened to people who've lost their jobs.
And we've even had stories that people in Boeing who got fired were better off than the people who didn't get fired because Boeing was such a rotten place to work.
But now all of a sudden.
The Associated Press, it hurts more to be unemployed now than the last time the jobless rate hit 10%.
Now ask yourself why would that be?
Seems like we've got all kinds of unemployment compensation assistance.
We've got everybody out there on food stamps.
Uh we got Obama in the White House has lifted everybody's spirits.
Why would it be tougher than it was in 83?
Americans have more than triple the debt they had in 1982 and less than half the savings.
They spend 10 weeks longer off the job, and a bigger share of them have no health insurance, leaving them one medical emergency away from financial ruin.
For these reasons, the unemployed are much more vulnerable today to foreclosure and bankruptcy than they were a generation ago.
Donald Schenck knows.
He's been without work both times.
It's worse now, he says.
Back in the early 80s, when Schenck lost his job at a phone company, he was able to find several temporary jobs, including one testing pinball machines, to make ends meet until he landed full-time work nearly two years later.
But now Schink, 55 of the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois, has been seeking work for a year and a half after losing his IT job.
Potential employers aren't interested if you're not a perfect fit, he says.
The unemployment rate hit 10.2% in October, all told 15.7 million Americans are out of work.
If you add in workers forced to settle for part-time work or those who've simply given up looking, the rate is 17 and a half percent.
Now the next subhead is better in some ways.
Only twice since World War II has unemployment topped 10% now and from September 82 to June 83.
In a few respects, life is better today for the unemployed than it was then.
See, here comes the obligatory.
It's really worse.
It's bad than ever.
Worse than ever, it's horrible, but actually, it's better today.
In the same story.
Unemployment benefits are more generous, adjusted for inflation, and the internet allows job seekers to network, scan for openings, look at porn, and apply without leaving home.
And thanks in part to higher home values, Americans are worth more.
What?
Higher home?
Where's the AP been?
Higher home values.
People what is the term underwater?
People's homes are worth less than what they're paying for them.
Higher home values.
Well, measured in 2009 dollars, net worth comes to about 173,000 per person compared with 94,000 in 1982.
According to Lynn Reese, president of the National Association for Business Economics, even if the average American has a larger cushion to fall back on, times are tough.
Okay, now we're going to switch gears.
It's worse than ever, worse than it was, but it's not so bad.
In fact, it's better in some ways, but now we're back to times are tough.
A much larger share of jobs these days are in the service sector.
Tax preparers, hairstylists, retail clerks.
These jobs generally pay less and offer fewer benefits than blue-collar manufacturing work.
Manufacturing typically offers more generous benefits, accounts for less than 9% of payrolls today, down from 19% in 1982.
Back then the UAW persuaded the big three auto companies to pay up to 95% of the gap between a laid-off workers' unemployment benefits and what he or she made on the job.
But since the decline of the size and influence of unions, it's surreal.
That would be inconceivable today.
It's at University of Illinois professor Michael Leroy who studies unions.
Yeah, just give another year or so.
and they'll have that fixed.
I'll tell you what we need is a misery index.
Just like we had in the Carter years, we are long past the time where we need a misery index.
That's how we have to measure it.
I got a quick break.
Uh more of your phone calls are right around the corner here on the EIB networks.
Stay tuned.
Mike, stand by there on audio somebody 13.
Talking about the uh anniversary of the falling of the Berlin Wall.
And they are leaving Ronaldus Magnus out of this.
Uh they're praising Gorbachev over there.
Let's go back June twelfth, nineteen eighty-seven in West Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate.
The advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.
There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable.
That would advance dramatically, the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev.
If you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev teared down this war.
And the wall came down, and Gorbichev gets the credit for it.
Mikhail Segeyevitch Gorbachev.
That's the credit.
And Hillary Clinton was our official representative over there.
And then Obama, I don't know if he was on tape or live, but he was on the screens with the godlike reverb in um in what he said.
Okay, to the phones to Newman, Georgia.
This is Herb.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, Rush.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
Mega Diddles.
Thank you very much, sir.
I d I'm just standing here pacing back and forth because I don't keep see how you can keep your sanity half the time.
I mean, from the word get go, uh when are these people gonna wake up?
There's so many thoughts running through my head, is it's hard to get them all out, but I know one thing.
I'm tired.
I'm fifty-six years old, spent ten and a half years in the military.
I've did it all.
I've suffered, I've cared for my family, I've worked two and three jobs sometimes.
Things got tough.
You know, it just seems like Obama, and believe me, I have no prejudice about being black, white, it don't matter.
But when uh it seems like all he is is a cliche, or somebody's wrote him some some fancy s slings.
You know, like um, it's time for change.
What change have we seen?
Nothing to the good.
It's time to pull yourself up by the bootstraps.
I have no problem pulling myself up to the boot.
Oh, whoa, hold it a second.
Obama's not saying that.
Obama wants to pull you up by your bootstraps and then put you where he wants you to be.
Well, my daddy taught us that when things got tough, you tightened up your belt and you went to work and you're done without.
That's insensitive today.
That's it's easy for you to say, but what about these poor people that don't have jobs?
It's easy for you to say.
Oh brush, I I scrimped and saved.
I I was uh and I know this you're gonna think this is funny.
I was married twenty-seven years, lost my wife of breast cancer.
Um five years later I met a woman remarried.
I was still in the same bed.
When sh when we got married, she she really didn't like sleep in another woman's bed, but we started saving, and we've heard you talk about sleep number bed.
We saved for two years.
When the economy went down, we said we reset our had to pay things that we had to pay.
And it's just not that, it's just one thing after another.
People talk about national health care.
I've experienced over overseas I was stationed.
I had a son born in Scotland.
I had to experience their national health care.
They let my son be born two months premature, just so it wouldn't cut into the doctor's um holiday.
Okay, he came out with small birth defects, which he still suffers with, but it's okay.
Now, you know, we're we're strong, we're gonna make it.
You know, it's just when are people gonna wake up and see what's going on and go to the tea party meetings and and rally around somebody.
Uh I just get so disgusted.
I mean, I drive a truck full time, and sometimes I just go down a row with tears coming down my face because I see the changes, and I just don't know what to do no more.
I just I just don't know what to do.
I know, because all the things that you have cited, thrift, hard work, uh taking care of yourself, uh being responsible for your family and so forth, serving your country, all these things you've mentioned.
People sneer at them now, oh that's just old fashioned stuff.
What do you mean go get a job?
I that's easy for you to say, but I I there's there's uh uh a fundamental change in American culture that's taking place.
Yeah.
And this this it's it's I look at totally understand your frustration.
There are millions of you out there, and I know when your voice will next be heard, aside from the tea parties.
It'll next be heard next November.
A year from now.
Mark Mark My Works, especially they're talking unemployment may now hit eleven percent, and it's not gonna go down anywhere anytime soon, uh, even in the next year, if that's the case, KB bar the doors.
And if they've if they've put health care on top of this, uh it's good it's it's it that that's that's where voices will next be heard.
It is so frustrating.
I I'm glad you're able to keep your sanity and and your sense of humor, because that's what we need to we need to hear you out there, and I'm so glad when you came around and opened up there the AM waves before you well, you know, AM radio wasn't that big.
And when you come along and got it affiliated, it was just a godsend.
And I say that freely now.
Who knows when I'll be able to say that again.
It's not that bad yet.
Uh Herb, I'll tell you when it's time to panic.
I know you will, right.
It's we're close.
I mean, that we these are desperately serious times.
I mean, I I'm sitting here and and I just tr you know, talking to you and getting a little bit off my chest, it just makes me tremble because we could see what's coming.
We could see what's going down the road.
I mean, if what would they say it if if Bush would have spent nine thousand gallons of fuel just to plant a tree on Earth Day?
You know, and that's just one instance.
I mean, it's just too many double standards.
People gotta get out there and work, do whatever it does, don't take the easy way, and just don't get on the company dole and let somebody else worry about you.
It's just well, you're you're describing uh an old American uh work ethic and tradition that as I say is sneered at by a lot of people.
Oh, I know, I know, I know, but there's still a lot of us out here, and a lot of us are still got I know, and there's more than you think.
There's more than you but you know, you ask me, you mean you how I avoid uh going insane.
I understand that there are some people who think I am insane.
Um none that know me, don't misunderstand.
There's people who think I am.
But you just said you you you thank me for the opportunity to call here and vent.
See, I I get to vent every day.
I that there's that is wonderfully therapeutic.
I get I get to I get to vent to these twenty, twenty-two million people every day, and and uh most of you in the audience um are we uh are are you you you're sitting there and you're wondering if anybody's hearing you?
Are you alone?
Does anybody does anybody agree with you other than the guy on the radio?
Because you don't see any action other than the tea parties, the protests in Washington on Saturday, but even those you see those people being sneered at.
That's exactly right.
But we hear you we hear you, Herb.
You look a lot better now.
You've lost some weight.
Excellent job.
Thank you.
Well, we hear you, Herb.
Well, thank you, Rush, and uh just keep preaching the gospel because uh sooner or later people's gonna understand.
I think look at we're at ten percent unemployment.
People are understanding.
They're just shell shocked.
This is the United States of America, and this kind of stuff doesn't happen here.
Now the old timers still around remember FDR trying this stuff.
But it was it was you know he was building things for the first time then, like social security and all these other things.
All things are built now, and they're not working.
They are leading to debt, and now people see we're going to add on to that, and we're doing it with an assault on the engine that made this country the greatest economy for the good of all humanity in the history of humanity.
We see an assault on the United States economy.
We see a pilfering of the U.S. private sector.
We see the government.
We see 238 millionaires in the House of Representatives.
238 millionaires.
Uh that's not quite 50%.
Over in the Senate, there are tons of millionaires as well.
We are now led by a governing elite that looks upon us with contempt, especially the Democrat Party.
They're sitting up there, they know full well that nobody wants this health care plan.
They're asked muscle numbers out today, even after it's passed, still 52% oppose it.
It's going to be even higher than that.
Once people figure, do you remember Reagan came up with this plan for catastrophic health insurance for seniors?
And the wealthiest among them would be charged 560 bucks a year.
And they had a fit when they found out.
That's when they stormed Rostinkowski's car in Chicago.
And that's when he lost the election.
And they had to withdraw that.
Well, wait till people find out that the average family is going to have to cost up, cough up $7,000 a year to buy health insurance mandated by the federal government.
Wait till they find out out.
Wait till upper income people 15 to 25,000.
They don't know this stuff yet.
When they do, you wait.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Well, I need to apologize here.
I did not hear Herb correct.
I thought Herb said, Herb from Newman, Georgia.
I thought Herb describing his situation, his wife died, he married a new woman and had to sleep in the same bed until he saved up enough money to get sleep number bed.
I thought he got the bed and then had to cut back.
While being told here that uh uh he had to cut back before buying the bed.
Now, had I heard that properly, and I'd I could, it's my fault.
I could have looked at the Steno over here, but I thought I heard it correctly.
So I didn't.
So Herb, call us back here if you can.
And don't any of you people out there who are not Herb call here and tell us you are.
Because Snerdley is an expert in voice recognition.
So Herbert, the lines are jammed, they always are, but uh Herb, I know you're out there keep trying.
I need to get back in touch with you.
Uh we uh we did not get his phone number, and uh so we have no way of uh of reaching Herb.
Folks, there are some people whom are who are saying that the incident at Fort Hood is just another glaring illustration of why we need gun control in the United States.
Why we need gun control.
If you are one of these people who think that the lesson of Fort Hood, the Fort Hood massacre is gun control.
May I remind you, as Jay Neudlinger posts at National Review Online today.
Yeah, yeah, right, an army places uh base is no place for weapons, right?
Gun control on an army base.
Guess who was unarmed?
There were 300 unarmed soldiers that were packed into into cubicles in there with five-foot-high dividers.
It was a cop, a five-foot-two-inch woman, who took out the shooter.
What a gutsy woman, five foot two-inch local cop.
Because these soldiers were unarmed on their own base.
That makes a lot of sense.
Gun control, the lesson of this?
Huh.
I mean, that's just that is just typical liberal knee-jerk.
Blindness, template doesn't see the truth right in front of their eyes.
Just amazing.
Here's hey, here's here's Obama.
Here's the godlike echo.
Audio sell by number 38.
You got to hear this.
This is Obama.
It's his address to the Berlin Walls celebration.
And I don't know again if it's live or if it was on tape, but they played it on the big screens over there.
It's not extended.
Congratulations to the people of Germany.
And the people of Europe on this 20th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Hall.
I'm sorry that I could not stand there today with so many friends.
I'm pleased that Secretary Clinton is leading a delegation of Americans who represent our respect for this extraordinary event in history.
November 9th, 1989 will always be remembered and cherished in the United States.
Stop it.
Did you take journalistic license to add any reverb?
Well, so what they must have done, they must have taken the audio feed from the speakers at the ceremony rather than a direct line audio feed, or else Obama recorded it that way.
But you know, he has a tendency to do that of putting his voice in uh in reverb out there.
I just wanted you to hear that.
Here's a uh a blog posted at the New York Times today, lawmakers detail Obama's pitch.
In an odd coincidence, the House debate on Saturday to overhaul health care took place on the third anniversary of the 2006 election that gave Democrats a majority control after 12 years of Republican dominance.
It fell to President Obama and to congressional leaders to persuade those Democrats still sweating the final vote that it would not prove the party's undoing in next November's midterm elections.
So they had Obama, he'd come up there, came up there, go ahead.
You think you're gonna lose the election, you're gonna lose the election next year because of this.
Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized the election of the the Owens fellow, New York 23, and then posed a question to the other lawmakers.
Now remember, and the the source for this, by the way, is a Democrat member of Congress, uh Martin Heinrich, who is uh from New Mexico, he's a freshman.
And Obama's up there trying to talk these recalcentrant Democrats into voting for the bill, and he's trying to assure them that it will not mean their defeat next November.
And according to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, I'm sorry, this is the source, Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, the president asked the Democrats this question.
Does anybody think that the teabag anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care?
All it'll do is confuse and dispirit Democrat voters, it'll encourage the extremists.
So bitter clingers stated at a San Francisco fundraiser during the campaign, and now tea parties are teabag people, the teabaggers, which of course is a pejorative term applied to certain uh rituals, uh, the homosexual community.
And let's see, uh, anti-government people are gonna support them.
All it'll do is confuse and dispirit Democrat voters, it'll encourage the extremists.
Teabags, extremists, bitter clingers.
So if you oppose President Obama, you are an extremist.
No matter where else you fall in line, you are an extremist.
Uh Ed in Columbus, Ohio.
Welcome, sir, to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here.
Thank you.
Mega small business owner dittoes, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, um, I know how people can um understand what's going on here with our government, and that is, and even though I'm a um uh conservative all my life, I think I want the Democrats to win the House and Senate again in 2010 so that if the economy is still in the tank in 2012, the people will understand Rise Up and vote them all out of office.
Well, I don't think we have time for it.
I have I have been hosting this program.
I don't know how long you've been listening to it, and I've been hosting this program for over 21 years.
And numerous times in various election cycles, there have been people who have uh offered the theory, you know what, Rush, we need to lose.
Let the Democrats let them implement all this.
Let the American People see what a disaster they are, and people will rise up in opposition.
And I reject that happening each and every time the theory is proffered.
Especially now.
If we if we cede 2010, you can kiss the country goodbye as you know it.
You can kiss it goodbye.
There won't be an uprising.
And if there is an uprising, even if Obama's defeated in 2012, I mean it's it's look at I remember during the Reagan years, one of the one of the big things conservatives said they were going to do was just dismantle the uh Department of Education.
Has that happened?
People say, well, we'll get up there and we'll reverse all this.
That doesn't happen much, folks.
Entitlements, new bills don't just get canceled.
They don't just get reversed or rescinded.
You've got to stop them before they happen.
And if we see the 2010 election, uh it's disastrous.
No way.
We'll be back.
Coming to a screw near you.
Now, this right now is a story from the UK telegraph, and it's coming to a scrual near you.
Sex education will become compulsory in all scruals, it was announced today.
This is uh from uh November 5th, as thousands of parents lose the right to opt their children out of the lessons.
See, the libs always trigger or opt-out provision or whatever in the beginning, and then when we get a little comfortable, they snatch the trigger away.
Pupils in England will be given classes in sex and relationships from the age of five under government plans to cut teenage pregnancies.
Which get ready for the explosion in condom sales and the explosion in teenage pregnancies.
All mothers and fathers will be able to keep children out on moral and religious grounds, but will lose the right of withdrawal when the kids turn 15.
The ruling will affect six six hundred thousand pupils a year.
The left on the march around the world.
Uh and get this.
The school's secretary in the UK is a guy by the name of Ed Balls.
Ed Balls, the uh the school secretary, you can teach the promotion of marriage, you can teach it you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage.
What you can't do is deny young people information about contraception outside of marriage.
This are the same arises in homosexuality.
Some faiths have a view about what in religious terms is right and wrong, and what they can't do, though, is not teach the importance of tolerance.
Ed Balls, the uh school's secretary in the uh in the UK, Mr. Mr. Balls, I think Neville Chamberlain taught all of Europe all they ever need to know about the importance of tolerance 70 years ago.
And the lesson doesn't remain learned.
Now here's liberalism in action.
From the Wall Street Journal, November 6th.
After calorie warnings, diners are ordering more calories in New York restaurants.
A groundbreaking study shows that New York's calorie labeling law is ineffective.
Before food czars get any more punch happy on their Kool-Aid, they need to be purged of the illusion their laws are actually working.
Last month, New York University and Yale medical professors published a groundbreaking study which shows that uh New York City's law requiring fast food chains to post calories on their menus does not reduce their customers' caloric intake.
Lawmakers everywhere should take note.
Efforts to require fast food restaurants to pose nutritional information on their menus have been gaining ground across the country.
Sixteen municipalities, uh, including California, Seattle, Portland, have passed laws similar to New York City's.
And the menu education and labeling act, which would impose labeling regulations nationwide, is pending in Congress.
The bill would extend the nutritional labeling and education act of 1990, which requires food manufacturers to include the information on their packaging, uh, and it would extend now to restaurants.
And we all know how effective that law was since 1990 obesity has more than doubled.
And of course, with the economy, Brian, well, Brian's in there frowning.
Let me explain this so if you don't understand it.
Uh, what's happening here with the economy the way it is?
Fast food happens to be cheaper.
And it's easier and it's simpler, so they go in there.
They think the calories are gonna stop them, the calorie count.
I mean Warnings?
How many of you people, you know, you you buy a new car, you lower the sun visor, there's a warning sticker on there about something.
Does it stop you doing anything?
Doesn't.
And it wasn't warning labels on cigarettes that got people to stop smoking.
It was the constant barrage and the fact that you can't smoke them anywhere.
And the price going up, but the warning label had nothing to do with it.
Okay, you gotta hear this.
One more Obama in his echo fide address at the Brandenburg Gate today.
He mentions John Kennedy.
He mentions himself.
He does not mention Renaultus Magnus, the man who made this happen.
Even as we celebrate these values, even as we mark this day, we know the work of freedom is never finished.
In a Berlin under siege.
President Kennedy said freedom is indivisible.
And when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
Few would have foreseen on that day that a united Germany would be led by a woman from Brandenburg, or that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent.
But human destiny is what human beings make of it.
You had nothing to do with it.
The fall of the Berlin Wall had nothing to do with somebody from Africa being elected president of the United States.
Or some woman from Brandenburg becoming the uh the Chancellor of Germany.
It was not about that.
They want to take all these events here.
Oh, look at what happens when we all work together.
We didn't all work together.
The Soviets resisted it.
Eric Chuniger resisted it.
The whole Soviet empire resisted it.
They had no choice in the end.
There was only one guy who American liberals said it was silly to suggest we could ever defeat the Soviets.
We had to stay friendly with them.
One man and one woman.
Margaret Thatcher.
How in hell you don't mention her either.
But that's Obama.
Everything is about him.
Peter in Rochester, New York.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Rush, for the first time in my adult life, I am proud to be from New Jersey.
You're the first one, man.
The first one to call and tele.
God bless uh your last your caller from Newman, Virginia.
Listen, I'll get right to the point.
Um I heard over the weekend that there's still around a thousand or thereabouts uh people of Muslim uh religion in the armed forces in New Jersey in uh in America.
And I wonder what thoughts you have about that.
Uh you know, uh FDR would round them up.
Um, you know, will Obama give each of them uh Secret Services?
You know, or or what?
I mean it could potentially be a problem.
Why do you say that?
Well, because of um, you know, if if there's any of those, even one out of the thousand more is uh in contact with these Al-Qaeda thugs.
Could have another uh Fort Hoodish.
Uh, we mustn't jump to conclusions.
