Time Text
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And on the telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Stop the presses.
NASA says they found a significant amount of water on the moon.
Okay, roll the pressers again.
So what?
Big deal.
But rush, but rush, but rush, there might be life there.
There might have been life there in the significant because we're destroying Earth, which means we can colonize on the moon because the moon has um water.
Found significant amounts of water.
It's probably not polluted like our water is.
Oh yeah, paradise awaits.
The freaking moon.
800-282-2882.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, uh, you remember what a circus the Masaui trial was?
Zacharias Massui.
We've seen all this before.
Do you remember during the the trial of uh of Mussoi, even supposed 9-11 families showed up to plead for Masoui, to plead for leniency, to plead for justice.
And that was a lot closer to the events of 9-11.
And it was on a much smaller stage.
That's that trial was uh in uh Alexandria, Virginia.
It's Washington, I guess.
Washington area.
Now we've this this case is not gonna go to draft for a couple years.
Can you imagine the discovery process?
Uh alone, the motions, the papers, the the I shudder to think what what a circus this is going to become.
And I'm gonna tell you, since 9-11.
And in New York, you've got a bunch of radical leftists who, after six years of ginned up hatred for George W. Bush, have as much hatred for this country as people who don't live in New York, some people out on the left coast, and and uh believe me, there's there are there are enough people in this country who are going to applaud this country being on trial.
Uh and and some of them may even end up on the uh on the jury.
Let's stick with the audio sound bites here.
This is uh President Obama in Tokyo at a press conference.
He was asked on Afghanistan, if I might, can you explain to people watching and criticizing your deliberations what piece of information you're still lacking to make that call?
I don't think this is a matter of some datum of information that I'm waiting on.
It's a matter of making certain that when I send young men and women into war, and I devote billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money, that it's making us safer, and that the strategies that are in place, not just on the military side,
but also on the civilian side, are coordinated and effective in our primary goal, which is to make sure that the United States is not subject to attack and its allies are not subject to attack by terrorist networks, and that there's stability in the region that helps to facilitate that larger goal.
The decision will be made soon.
What a bunch of psychobabble.
We just had a terrorist attack.
A lone wolf, maybe not, maybe he was part of a terrorist network.
I'll bet you a lot of people in our intelligence community think he is part of a network.
All these lone wolves are actually being run by somebody.
Uh and here brings up this idea of money again.
Money.
What did he say the other day that it's um a billion dollars for every thousand troops you send or something like that?
So the total would be 30 to 50 billion dollars, depending on the troops that you send, number of troops.
$50 billion is a quarter compared to what this guy is spending everywhere else.
It's about the money.
Can you imagine his poor guy McCristol?
Here's this four-star general.
And he has to sit there and listen to this community organizer who wouldn't know the butt end of an AK-47 if he saw it.
Tell him how to run a war.
And then he's got to sit there and put up with a really strategically timed statement from our ambassador appointed by Obama in Kabul.
I don't think we need uh any more troops.
Uh it's just uh.
Yeah, it would be a funny joke if it were a joke, but it's not a joke.
Now here's the soundbite on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Now, this is quite telling here, folks.
Every president's ever gone to Japan, has been asked this question, has made the case to defend our actions in dropping those bombs, but not Obama.
Japanese reporter, President Obama, you are a proponent of a nuclear-free world, and you've stated, first of all, that you would like to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki while in office.
Do you have this desire?
And what is your understanding of the historical meaning of the A-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Do you think it was the right decision?
We share, I think, a vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
Uh, we recognize, though, that this is a distant goal.
It will not be reached, probably even in our own lifetimes.
Obviously, Japan uh has unique perspective uh on the issue of uh nuclear weapons as a consequence of uh Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And that I'm sure helps to motivate the Prime Minister's deep interest in this issue.
I certainly would be honored.
It would be meaningful for me to visit those two cities in the future.
I don't have immediate travel plans, uh, but it's something that uh would be meaningful to me.
Did you hear an answer in there to the question?
No, you didn't.
So the reporter asked it again, and he just ducked.
He said I moved on to the next question or left the poly riding, did not want to tackle that.
And I'll tell you you want to know why he didn't answer it.
What do you that's right?
He cannot give the answer that he wants to give.
The answer he would like to give is my country was wrong.
That was one horrible crime.
I am embarrassed for my country for being the only nation that's used nuclear weapons against an enemy.
It was uncalled for, it was unnecessary, and I am going to make sure it never happens again.
That's what he wants to say.
But he can't bring himself to say it.
Last night, Elmendorf, Alaska, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Obama spoke to the troops.
This is a little bit of what he said.
I will not risk your lives unless it is necessary to America's vital interests.
And if it is necessary, the United States of America will have your back.
We'll give you the strategy and the clear mission you deserve.
We'll give you the equipment and support that you need to get the job done, and that includes public support back home.
That is a promise that I make to you.
Of course, we don't know if this was televised into Afghanistan.
We don't know if the troops in Afghanistan heard about this.
What is this?
We're gonna back you to the hilt.
We will have your back.
We'll give you the strategy and the clear mission you deserve.
He's still ripping George W. Bush.
This is nothing more than a campaign question and answer.
Ripping Bush, ripping previous uh uh strategies on war and uh and all the other it's just public opinion.
He said he did say that.
He said, We'll give you the equipment support you need, and that includes public support back home.
We'll give you public support.
How can he guarantee public support back home?
His poll numbers are falling.
Well, how can he guarantee public support back home?
Well uh what what is he what in the world is he talking about?
Anyway, a quick timeout here, folks.
We'll come back.
It's open line Friday, and we will get to your phone calls right after this.
By the way, I'd be remiss, my friends, if I did not point out to you that Reverend Wright was and is obsessed with the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, brings it up all the time.
He he says it's at the top of the list of America's crimes, and he in his famous Audacity to Hope sermon, which Obama claims to have been inspired by.
Wright excoriated the United States for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So we know what Obama would love to say.
And that's why he dodged the question because he knows he can't say it, at least not yet.
And about this trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his buddies.
Can you imagine the fun the New York Times is going to have with that?
I mean, they've got this guy there named Scott Shane, and he's the guy who outed one of the interrogators.
Deuce Martinez, soft spoken analyst who spoke no Eric Arabic, had turned down a CIA offer to be trained in water boating.
He chose to leave the infliction of pain and panic to others, the gung-ho paramilitary types whom the more cerebral interrogators call the knuckle draggers.
This is you know, this guy Scott Shane uh couldn't wait to tell the world who tortured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Uh so imagine the fun they're gonna have with this.
Okay, to the phones as promised.
We'll start in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Laura, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Mega Ditto's Rush.
Thank you very much.
Um my husband and I are both retired military veterans, and this week we had to listen to empty words from a commander in chief who says, like you just played, um, that he wants a clear mission and that he won't put troops at risk.
Um with the indecision of not making the commitment with what his generals recommend, we feel that those are just empty words that matter not at all.
And it sickens us to hear these kind of speeches like on Veterans Day that we're gonna do everything for our vets.
You're not doing that.
And I hate to say, you know, liar like some people do, but we need some decision and we need leadership um on this issue.
These these troops, um, you know, their morale, I'm sure, is thinking as they're um, you know, put in into danger by people who are in the leadership that won't make those choices.
And I think it takes courage, but I I really appreciate you with uh building up the morale of the military, telling them that they are, you know, uh the people that help us enjoy our freedoms and that victory is the clear mission, and we want it done as soon as possible.
Yeah, well, join the crowd.
Uh the armed, by the way, there's a story I'm looking for it.
I think it's AP, but I'm not sure.
The army is saying that uh military among the troops in Afghanistan w it is a way, way, way down the the morale is no one and who uh who in the world would be surprised by that.
Uh I you know, I'm I'm uh I'm sort of hamstrung here.
This decision, this lack of a decision.
Remembers three months ago that McCrystall made his recommendation or his request for more troops, and we're continuing to dither here.
And I I I f I f I have such uh empathy for all of you out there who are military families, whether you've got family members deployed or not, because you when you when I hear from you, you speak in the context of a citizen of a country which has as its top priority winning, being victorious, vanquishing our enemy.
And you hope and you expect a decision along those lines soon.
And I'm telling you, it's it's it's really hard to say this to you, but you you don't have a president who looks at life or war or the United States in any way, shape, manner, or form the way you do.
You have a traditional view of this country based on your service to it and your commitment to it.
We don't have a president who shares your commitment to the country, who shares your commitment to victory.
We have a president and an administration who believes this country's guilty of things.
And he's gonna he's gonna have trouble pulling the trigger on more troops over there, and even if he does pull the trigger on more troops, I think the constraints on their procedures over there, the rules of engagement are gonna be such that I it it's gonna be useless.
I can't tell you how I hate thinking these things.
I can't tell you how repulsed I am saying them.
David in Lincoln, Nebraska, welcome, sir to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Russ, thanks for having me.
You, sir.
Hey, you're doing a great American thing out there.
We appreciate it.
Thank you very much, sir.
Appreciate that.
You're welcome, sir.
Thank you.
Uh, real quick here, uh, I'd like to just let people know.
Daniel Pearl did not get a trial.
He was beheaded just because of him being an American.
These people have pled guilty.
They are guilty.
Everybody knows they're guilty.
It's it's they we need to deal with it differently.
This is gonna be just a major, major, major circus.
And I want to be out there when it starts so that I can sell popcorn peanuts, cotton candy, hot dogs, whatever.
I'll make a killing.
Like I told you in the first hour of this program, before this is all said and done, because you're right, these guys have no defense.
They've pled guilty.
They've admitted it.
They wanted to be executed.
They still do.
And therefore, the country is what's gonna be on trial.
And our techniques and our procedures, and our uh very intelligent system, uh, programs, all of it.
We're gonna be on trial before it's all said and done.
There are going to end up being a lot of Americans convinced that all this was our fault.
That we have so mistreated these poor, impoverished people from the deserts of the Middle East.
We have we have taken their oil, and we have we have uh allied ourselves with their blood enemy, the Israelis.
Uh, we have uh bombed their countries.
We have done all of these things are going to be said.
And at the end of the day, there will be weak-minded Americans who say, you know what, Myther Limbaugh, I totally understand now why these people wanted to blow up our World Trade Center.
I totally understand.
I can empathize these people.
That's that's what is going to be the objective here.
You want to hear a joke?
Byron York has the story at the DC examiner, the politico has the story.
Obama plans to announce a war on deficits in his State of the Union speech.
President Obama plans to announce in next year's State of the Union show that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010.
He will downplay other new domestic spending programs beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president's plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month's Democrat election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House.
On the practical side, Obama has spent more money on new programs in nine months than Bill Clinton did in eight years, pushing the annual deficit to 1.4 trillion.
That leaves little room for big spending initiatives.
On the political side, Obama can help moderate Democrats or moderate Democrats avoid some tough votes in an election year.
Now, what people are saying here that's gonna go by the wayside is cap and trade.
They're just not gonna have the money for that.
Well, don't be so short, because if Obama does go over to Copenhagen, those uh Western European elites and all the elites from around the world are gonna have something to say about that.
Because they're gonna say we can't get anywhere on climate change unless you take the lead.
And you said you were gonna take the lead, and the House has already passed cap and trade.
You better get in gear.
The big question for Obama is whether the sudden concern about deficits will be more rhetoric than reality once his first State of the Union address concludes.
Now, this date is November 13th.
It's a Friday.
I'm going to have to search my mental archives, otherwise known for those of you in Rio Linda as my memory.
I don't recall ever hearing the plans released of the details of a State of the Union speech in late January in mid-November.
Do you help me out if I'm wrong here?
I don't recall the State of the Union contents being divulged like this.
Especially if you're gonna tell a whopper, because I don't believe a word of this.
He's all of a sudden gonna become a deficit hawk.
What moron's gonna believe this?
To believe this, you talk about a willing suspension of disbelief.
You've got to suspend any reality that you're exposed to to believe it.
He's gonna all of a sudden turn into a deficit hawk.
It's gonna be rhetoric only, and it is designed for election year, but I'll tell you why.
Barack Obama is losing the independence, folks.
They have figured this out.
Job summit, deficit focus, tarp money to reduce the deficit.
The White House is reeling because independents have figured it all out.
Look at the the yet the administration knows that job numbers are going to continue to fall like leaves in the autumn.
The estimates that some people are making now, 12 to 13% unemployment.
I think the White House must believe that's gonna happen, or they wouldn't be scrambling to put fancy gift rep on their on their gift to the American people, a deteriorating economy that can be blamed on George W. Bush.
Because the truth of the matter is the American people are getting angrier by the day because they've been lied to.
But it's the independents that have Democrats in the White House in a panic.
Uh they can say they can say what they want at the White House about the results of uh New Jersey and Virginia in those elections.
Well, the fact is they have been forced to deal with issues deadly to Democrats.
This health care bill.
I mean, it's it's a poison pill to anybody voting for it, and that's the worst kept secret in the nation's capital.
Jobs, the deficit.
Uh those issues are not going to go away.
You're an economic ball and chain on Americans, a political ball and chain on the Democrats, and they know it because they can see the independence damage.
And that's why we're being told what the SOU is going to be.
So to play again, the children of EIB replying to the children of the World Wildlife Fund.
and Great to have you here at Rush Limboy and the EIB network.
Folks, I I'm sorry, I can't get off this decision to bring these terrorists to New York and conduct trial.
I just I I this is such an insidious plot.
It is such a disaster.
Do you realize?
Barack Obama is tougher on insurance companies than he is on the 9-11 mastermind.
And I want to know, Eric Holder.
I'm still struck by things he said in his press conference.
We gotta find a jury of their peers.
These guys are not citizens.
Who the hell are we gonna find a jury of their peers?
Do you realize we're standing 200 years of American history on its head?
A jury of their peers.
The only one I can think of is Chris Matthews, but we need 11 more.
And you know what I think we ought to do?
I think Obama to the judge, he ought needs to appoint Cindy Sheehan to the federal bench and let her be the judge in the case.
I mean, if they're gonna make a mockery of this, let's go all the way.
Who else besides Matthews would be a jury of uh uh on the jury of a bunch of peers?
Olberman.
Go out there and find I it's just I I can't get off of it.
Jeremiah Wright, oh except he doesn't live in New York.
Airs, yeah.
But we look at it, as long as we're throwing the rules out of here, we're conferring constitutional rights on non-citizens.
Why the hell do the jurors have to come from New York?
Let's put Bill Ayers on the jury.
Let's put uh let's put his wife Bernadine Dorn on the jury.
Let's put Jeremiah Wright on the uh on the jury.
Uh let's go get Sololinsky's son, I think he lives in Boston, put him on the jury.
Uh Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, who else could be?
We're talking about a jury of peers of these terrorists who hated this country so much they wanted to blow up the World Trade Center and did.
And uh Cindy Sheehan is the judge.
Oh, put Harry Reed on the jury.
This war has lost.
This war, and get Senator Durbin.
Senator Durbin sides with these guys, get Sea Stack.
Durbin says that our interrogators were nothing more than like pull pots, renegades and Nazis and the Soviet gulags and so forth.
So yeah, we get Dick Durbin, uh John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.
John Kerry.
Oh, boy, look at the jury we could impanel here.
Yes, sir, Reboy.
Hey, get this.
Get the now, this is from Bloomberg.
Confidence among U.S. consumers unexpectedly dropped in November as the loss of jobs threatened to undermine the biggest part of the economy.
What?
What the hell?
Unexpected drop of consumer confidence in the midst of job losses.
I swear they've got a macro.
All these media people have a macro.
There's a like a keystroke that you hit that types in unexpected.
Don't even have to type out the whole word.
Oh, website update on Wednesday.
I talked about this.
Uh flew to uh White Plains, New York, actually a Terrytown to uh participate in a ceremony and a dinner honoring Roger Ailes as the Westchester Putnam County Scout of the Year.
Uh and we've now got video of all of it at rushlimbaug.com.
We've got the links are in the big orange banner there at the top of the page at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Heritage Foundation morning bell today.
Big labor bankrupting our country.
Listen to some of this.
Last month when the White House released its visitor log for the first six months of the Obama presidency, one name appeared far more than any other.
Service employee International Union President Andrew Stern.
Now, Stern has every right to expect to be welcome in the Obama White House.
He's repeatedly bragged about the fact that under his leadership, the SEIU spent $60.7 million to elect Obama.
And what is Stern buying with that $60.7 million besides access to the White House?
He's buying ever-expanding federal government programs and state government bailouts, which are rapidly bankrupting our country.
Unlike his predecessor John Sweeney, who came up the ranks after starting with the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, Stern entered the labor movement when the SEIU organized his shop when he was working as a welfare caseworker for the state of Pennsylvania.
Stern's public sector entrance into labor is by no means an anomaly.
In fact, for the first time ever in American history, preliminary estimates of union membership for 2009 show that most union members now work for either the local, state, or federal government.
And there's a reason for this.
It's not an accident.
Heritage scholar James Shirk has the numbers.
The overall unionization rate between January and September 2009 stood at 12.4%.
Unchanged from last year.
However, this difference masks a large difference between unions in the private and public sectors.
Union membership has fallen to 7.3% of private sector workers.
That's the lowest rate since Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act into law.
But it's a completely different story in the public sector.
37.6% of government employees belong to unions, up almost a percentage point since last year.
And those 7.9 million unionized government employees are 51% of all union members nationwide.
So over half of the unionized workers in this country are in the government.
The days when union member meant an American working in a steel plant or a coal mine or an autofactory are gone.
Today unions are dependent on government, not the private sector, for their livelihood.
Therefore, unions like the SEIU have little interest in private sector job growth.
Private sector jobs don't help fund $60.7 million political campaigns, but government jobs do.
When you have that many federal employees unionized and their dues are being extracted and used for political purposes.
You have a slush fund, essentially.
And these are Obama's buddies.
These are the people to he tells the truth to about his desire for single payer, government-run health care, when he goes and speaks to him.
But the heritage people are making a fundamentally important point here, and that is unions have little interest in private sector job growth.
Private sector jobs don't generate enough dues to fund $60 million political campaigns.
Now, get this.
In Oregon, the labor movement is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to two ballot issues, fund two ballot initiatives to raise personal income and business taxes.
The unions want tax increases instead of cuts in the gold plated medical benefits for state workers.
In California, the SEIU spent one million dollars on a television ad campaign pressing for higher oil, gas, and liquor taxes instead of spending reductions.
So these public sector unions are in the tank with Obama as they assault the private sector.
Look at the UAW.
They already made General Motors and Chrysler so uncompetitive they had to be bailed out by President Obama.
But uh who will Obama turn to when Stern's SEIU is bankrupted us?
Every day, every day you wake up and it's something, it's it's it's it's something more hideous each and every day.
Go to Askheritage.org, my friends, find out all about this and find the wealth, the treasure trove of scholarly thinking written in ways that you can we can all understand it.
Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, no, don't but do it.
You need to be informed.
In fact, there's a great piece coming up later in the story.
It's from the American thinker.
People are constantly asking me.
Uh, what can I do, Rush?
What can I do?
You've heard them here on the phones.
What can I do?
And somebody has tackled this at the American uh at the American Thinker.com, and it's basically Joe Herring.
And let me tell you the story let me, I gotta take a break here, but but but he starts this way.
I recall a conversation I had with a young co-worker in the latter weeks of Obama's campaign for president.
Joe the plumber had just exposed the redistributionist bent of Obama, and I expressed my assessment of Mr. Obama as a not so closeted socialist, and my co-worker then earnestly asked, what's wrong with socialism?
We'll be back in just a second.
Rush Limbo, the man everybody wishes they could be, serving humanity from behind the golden EIB microphone here on Open Line Friday.
Now, I you gotta hear this sound by Mark Halperin uh from uh Time Magazine, he's their editor at large, was on with Enriam Mitchell, NBC News in Washington on her MSNBC show.
And she uh she said, Mark, you recently traveled outside in Milwaukee under the radar.
Sarah Palin went to Milwaukee.
Nobody knew it, no cameras that most people know about.
What kind of crowd?
What was the excitement there for Sarah Paler in Milwaukee?
A big event at the state fair grand, so about 4,000 people who paid $30.
$4,000.
A week ago this was?
This is a Friday night, I think one week ago.
They showed up really early.
I got there three hours early, and I was not the first person in line by any means.
And the line stretched over half a mile, and they love her.
I've never seen anything like this in my career.
The gap between we say casually she has support amongst the grassroots, she truly does, and we'll see it on the book tour next week.
People at the grassroots love her personally.
They want her to run for president.
The gap between that and what people in this city say, people we know say about her prospects couldn't be wider.
Now, in this soundbite, Mark Halperin swerves, stumbles upon the truth.
Sarah Palin represents the disconnect between Washington and the rest of the country.
Now, I don't want to take anything away from Sarah Palin.
He's three four thousand people who paid 30 bucks.
He's never seen anything like that?
He's never seen anything like that.
Has he never been to a Sean Hannity Freedom concert?
Does he not know what happens out there when conservatives get together and rally?
Has he never been to a rush to excellence tour stop?
Has he never heard about one of those?
Two thousand people in Washington, it was capacity right where he lives.
Ditto Detroit all over the country.
I don't do them very often, but but you know, Hannity, Levin, their guys are out there, Beck goes out and draws crowds all over the place.
And Sarah Pay, I'm not taking anything away from her.
Because she she is, he's right.
This book tour starts next week, and Washington is going to be stunned.
The one thing he's really right about is they don't get it.
They haven't the slightest clue how disconnected they are from the base of this country.
They have no idea in Washington how disconnected they in the media are.
From not just grassroots people, but the people who make this country work.
Why do conservative books sell so well?
Do they do they ignore that?
No, they don't ignore it, because over at the Huffing and Puffington Post, they want the New York Times to set up a conservative only list because the Lib books are getting shellacked.
The only reason, there are two reasons that a Democrat is in the White House today.
Well, maybe three, but I'll focus on two of them.
We had the wrong candidate in 2008.
And we had a Democrat candidate who just pulled a biggest scam on the people, the innocent people, the people that are not actively daily involved in politics, he pulled the biggest scam on them ever, making them think that he was something never before seen.
A Messiah that was going to come and get rid of all the angst, get rid of all the arguments, get rid of all the partisanship.
We're going to lower the sea levels.
We're going to be loved and we're going to have jobs, everybody's going to be rich, and they're not going to be any poverty and so forth.
And of course, who wouldn't want all that?
And you have some guy with some supposed skill at oratory, it's actually reading a prompter, who was able to make that pitch.
The third reason is the Bush administration just refused to defend itself.
And I mentioned that to Governor Palin in my interview with her yesterday after this show for the uh for the newsletter, because we were talking about, she in her book, she has the same question that I've always had, and that is how do you respond, and when do you respond to uh baseless, totally fabricated made-up criticism?
And the uh, you know, we had a discussion about it, and she said something, uh I don't remember specifically what it was, my reaction to it was well, what you know, we weren't helped by the fact that we had all kinds of people in this country willing to go to the mattresses over this, but the administration, the leader of the party just did not want to get political because Bush felt that it was lowering the prestige of the office to respond to all these attacks and critiques, and so therefore, all the lies were allowed to stand.
That's that's I mean, they've the the media and the Democrat Party did a pretty good job of ginning up even more people who hate this country who think this country's guilty.
Because people of the highest levels of Republican Party were not refuting it.
Their strategy was it's uh it'll story last a day and uh and move on to other things.
But if it takes 4,000 people at a Sarah Palin rally for these guys to understand their disconnect, so be it.
And she is gonna set records with her book sales.
I think probably already has.
Now, what's wrong with socialism?
Joe Herring at the American thinker.com.
You often ask me, Well, what can we do, Rush?
Here is one answer.
I'm gonna give you the sum total of his piece.
The answer is this.
Become my father.
Become Roger Ailes, become Snerdley, become me.
Become the person that your friends and family turn to when the subject turns to politics.
You be the one that's informed, you be the one that has history on your side, you be the one with historical facts, you be the one Able to talk about it.
You be the one able to persuade.
We cannot assume that people understand what's bad about socialism because they haven't been taught it.
Just like Obama probably has only been taught that capitalism is horrible.
I doubt he's ever been told what its benefits are.
Somebody comes up to you and says, What's wrong with socialism?
You probably think they're joking.
But they're not.
You be the one to be able to tell them what's wrong with it.
You realize, and how can you be the how can you become the one?
Easy.
You listen to this show every day, and you'll know everything you need to know, and it'll inspire you to want to know even more.
You become the person your family and friends consult.
Assume your name is Anastas.
What you have to do is become the person, everybody says, What would Anastas think about this?
It's not hard to do.
We'll be back after this, folks.
Stay with us.
Remember, my friends, the left never will lay claim to the true legacy of socialism, which is utter disaster.
It is we who have to hang the failure around their necks and ignore their good intentions and focus on the results.
The left have grown accustomed to shedding the responsibility for the damage they've done.
They are adept at shifting the blame.
Become the person your friends and family consult.
