Time Text
And by the way, for you women out there, and I and I realize that uh, you know, I know human nature.
I know how people think, I know how elites think, I know how average American thinks.
I'm an average American myself, but I'm around elites enough.
I know how they think, I know what the thought processes are.
For you women, what do you think about all these men trying to destroy her?
Now, I know that some women are jealous of her, too.
I mean, this is human nature's human nature, but.
Anyway, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh, the uh the EIB network, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Uh, great to have you with us, folks.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
I wonder what the wizard of smart David Brooks would have to say about this.
As Erasmus poll out, 59% of Republican voters say that Sarah Palin shares their values.
Not that they share hers, but 59% of Republican voters say that Palin shares their views.
No.
What would Brooks say about that?
And there's also this.
In that same Rasmussen report poll, there's an item near the bottom.
And among the political class, just three percent have a very favorable opinion of Sarah Palin, while 64% hold a very unfavorable view.
Uh the political class, meaning people in Washington, for the most part, people in elective office, uh, people that work for people in elective office, uh, much of the uh the commentariat uh or the uh or the punditry out there.
But this this the intellectuals and the elitists and and their fear of Sarah Palin is probably equal to the same reasons that they fear me, or or or don't like me or whatever.
To those who oppose her ideologically, they fear her gaining power and pushing her ideas because they work.
They feared Reagan too.
And they said the same things about Reagan, not quite as vitriolic, but they said Reagan was stupid and amiable, dunce, likeable enough guy, but they treated Reagan like an idiot.
Now, if if I'm if I'm David Brooks or any of these elitists, and I I I've I'm I'm really in tune with what's going on here.
In a contest between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, for example, or Barack Obama and anybody, Obama should lose.
Obama's destroying the United States.
But they love Obama in part because they think he's one of them.
Smart, intellectual, elite, dresses well.
Brooks even writes about the the crease in Obama's slacks and how he's impressed by that.
I kid you not.
He was impressed by the crease in Obama's slacks as a sign of uh uh refinement.
Beltway Republicans, the wizards of smart.
Beltway Republicans have been running things, they have slowly lost Republican political power, so they are afraid of their own jobs and credibility if uh somebody like Palin with her conservative viewpoint rises.
And I I have to tell you, it it the the reason why Palin's being hit here is not because she's Palin's, because she's conservative.
She is the most conservative of the Republican candidates, or I don't even know if she's a candidate, but of all the Republican public figures that might be in politics, she is by far the most conservative, and everybody's threatened by that.
The ideas work.
Conservatism is the number one thing which will undermine Obama.
Conservatism is the under one number one thing that would undermine the Beltway Republicans, the the Rhino Republicans hold on the power or hold on power in the Republican Party.
Any conservative would do that.
Any conservative who sought elective office and might win threatens everybody else, Republican or Democrat alike.
So what that they fear the rise of a conservative.
They fear the success that a conservative would implement if given the chance.
And you know, as for elites, if you don't use your brain, it doesn't matter how smart you are.
And they're not using their brains.
They're reacting totally for intellectuals.
The last organ they're using is their brain.
They're reacting with their heart or some other orifice that's getting jealous, but uh they're not reacting with their brains, and this is the thing that's the most amazing to me.
These are supposedly the smartest people among us.
These are the elites, these are the classically educated, these are the people who have a refined sophistication, and in their reaction to Sarah Palin or anybody else is prominently conservative, they don't use their brains.
They use other emotions, primarily fear and jealousy.
Now, looky here, folks.
This is from the Associated Press.
Obama retreats on climate change.
Grab grab the children of EIB, Mike, and let me know when you have the children of EIB ready to go.
Just thought of this.
Remember the world wildlife fund kids, the kids of the staffers, and they were and and and that Hopenhagen.org push.
Dear Pente Obama, please don't Copenhagen and sign the twenty because the Wongwithon and Polar Bears aren't dying and remember all of that?
Well, we answered it with the children of EIB who appear to have carried the day.
I think the children of EIB have had more influence than the world wildlife kiddos because President Obama and other world leaders agreed yesterday that next month's much anticipated claim and change summit will be merely a waste station, not the once hoped for end point in the search for a worldwide global warming treaty.
So much for Hopenhagen, eh?
192 Nation Climate Conference beginning in three weeks in Copenhagen had originally been intended to produce a new global climate change treaty.
Hopes for that have dimmed lately, but comments by Obama and fellow leaders at a hastily arranged breakfast meeting here on the sidelines in Singapore served to put the final nail in any remaining expectations for the December summit.
Michael Froman, Obama's deputy national security advisor, said, yeah, there was an assessment out there by the leaders that it's unrealistic to expect a full internationally legally binding agreement that could be negotiated between now and Copenhagen, which starts in 22 days.
The Prime Minister of Denmark flew overnight to Singapore to present a proposal to the leaders to instead make the Copenhagen goal a matter of crafting a politically binding agreement in hopes of rescuing some future for the struggling process.
Let me translate this for you.
When other countries talk about crafting a politically binding agreement with the U.S., it means spreading our wealth around.
A politically binding agreement with us means they get to fleece us.
Now it was just a year ago, I think that was a time frame that Obama said we couldn't wait a year.
We can't wait a year.
How many stories have we had on this program alone over the last six months that have said it's too late now to even do anything?
Or we've got six months.
The uh the uh UN General Secretary, Ban Kay Moon, we've got four months, he said.
Four months.
Dr. Roy Spencer, our official climatologist, sent me a story today saying, we've only got ten years to fix this, or we're toast.
And they've been saying ten years since 1984.
Actually, ten years since '89.
In 84, it was 20.
And we're still here, and the sea levels are not rising, and it's not getting warmer.
In fact, it's cooling off.
And so this and this, I think is a great illustration of they thought they were going to get this done, and they put out all this.
Oh, yeah, it's just a fate of complete.
All we gotta do is get there.
All we gotta do is get to Copenhagen, get Obama there, and uh, we sign on a dotted line, and that's it, and all of its PR, all of it is attempted pressure to uh uh on on opponents to get them to stand down to make them think it's already a done deal.
This never ever quit opposing stuff, folks, because the media and the left is always gonna say it's a done deal, or they're always gonna say it's just a matter of time.
I mean, we're within an inch here, we're so close you can't even see the space between now and completion, and it's uh it's always it's always bunk.
So I'm gonna put it off a year.
They're gonna put it off a year.
Now, here and they've agreed to put it off a year.
Why?
Because they can't get agreement.
But don't forget this.
The world can't wait the year.
If these people are serious, if they're right, that we are on the precis, precipice of destruction of our ecosystem.
We can't wait, right?
We can't wait.
Now all of a sudden we can wait because we can't agree.
So really, what are we waiting on?
Just as we're not waiting on health care legislation, we're not waiting on climate change legislation.
We are waiting on other things that politically can't be done right now.
Health care is all about stealing one sixth of the U.S. economy and making as many Americans totally dependent and fully regulated by the state as possible.
Health care is just the vehicle.
Climate change, simply the vehicle for world government.
Pure and simple.
So that an elected body or an unelected world body gets to control everything that happens as though there are no nations with borders.
And they're doing it under the rubric of climate change.
Every thing the left attempts to succeed and pass always happens to accompany a crisis which could do what?
Wipe us out.
If we don't get health care done, why look at the people are gonna die.
And look at the and the fact is look at the people are gonna die if we do get their health care done.
So it it's it's always a crisis, and it's always got to be done now, just like the TARP thing had to be done right now.
And the stimulus had to be done right now.
And those two things.
TARP was not about bailing out the financial sector.
If it were, there wouldn't be over half of it left.
Over half of the TARP money is left.
The original purpose was buying up toxic assets and getting credit flowing again.
After they got it passed, guess what?
It turned into a liquidity thing for the banks, saving the banks.
Stimulus.
It was about what?
Creating jobs?
We're at uh 10.2% unemployment.
I did it was Indianapolis Saturday, it had dinner with a very highly educated network executive.
Not gonna name the network, not gonna name the division, whatever.
When I told him that only 14% of the stimulus have been spent, he was stunned.
He didn't know.
I said, it's not a stimulus bill.
It's a slush fund.
This is Chicago politics.
So is TARP.
It's a slush fund.
Look where the money's going.
It's going to political uh cronies and allies.
Next year it's gonna go to Democrats for their re-election campaigns.
Only 14% has been spent.
Ostensibly to create jobs.
It was never for that.
Now, if you go to Congress as uh as president, say, I want a $750 billion slush fund.
I want you to authorize me $750 billion so that I can buy political favors with it.
He'd never get it done.
But if you go there and say, we gotta save jobs, we need a stimulus bill, infrastructure, shovel-ready jobs, put people back to work, we gotta rebuild this economy.
Oh, yeah, but he signs on, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because who's against rebuilding the economy?
Who's against people working other than Obama?
Who's against any of that?
So you sign it and you pass it.
And the same thing with TARP.
What you end up with, in fact, is two slush funds.
That's what we're dealing with here.
Climate change, slush fund, healthcare slush fund.
With the uh added benefit that with all that money and uh newly acquired power, the world body, whoever it would be, and the Obama government get to regulate every aspect of human life under the auspices of saving money and cutting costs in uh in health care.
It's the Chicago way, folks.
It's the thug Democrat way of uh of doing things.
You can't get what you want with the legitimacy of a democratic vote because nobody is in for in favor of this stuff.
So you go buy it.
And that's what they're doing.
Be right back, stay with us.
All right, people have waited patiently as they always do.
It's such a thrill to be on this program that people will wait hours for that opportunity, and we'll uh we'll go to the funds now.
We're gonna start Brooksville, Kentucky.
This is Vicky.
Great to have you here.
Hello.
Hey, good afternoon, Rush.
It is a pleasure and an honor, and mega hillbilly did have.
Thank you very much.
I would like to talk to you about Barry, our president.
Um, I think that he's just a coward, that he won't he he shuts a shovel shuttles off all of his decisions to someone else.
Um the only thing that he can't shuttle off is Afghanistan because he is the president and he has to make the decision.
So that's what's taken him so long.
He's a coward and won't make the decision.
But he's done he's he's put health care into Congress.
Um let's see, what else has he done?
My God, every decision.
He he pushes off on somebody else, so therefore he loses no nothing politically when everything goes south because he didn't do it.
Yes, absolutely.
I say it may be, but I say it's deceitful.
Absolutely.
I say aren't cowards always deceitful.
I say it is Obama willing to throw anybody, including his friends, overboard to save him.
He's a narcissist.
It's all about looking and also, you know, when it when it comes time for re-election, it's Obama that people are going to vote for in his mind.
Or vote against a vote for Holder.
Uh they're not going to be voting for Casey, uh, they're not going to be voting for Gates, not going to be voting for McCrystall or any of that.
And what Obama is admitting here, he needs no fingerprints on this stuff because the American people don't want it.
So he the American people don't want these terrorists being tried in New York, so roll it off on Holder.
But don't for a minute think that he is not his decision.
He's not afraid to make the decision.
He's making the decision.
He's making somebody else be the face of him.
But publicly, he doesn't want anything sticking to him.
himself.
Oh, that's right.
He makes it appear as if somebody else is doing all of this, and he's completely innocent.
He's just the innocent bystander, you know, that they Congress has to do health care.
Holder has to make this decision.
It's the Attorney General for Congress.
This is see, this is liberals in general.
I mean, this is the way Bill and Hillary worked it uh during their eight years.
Bill knew that he was the guy on the ballot.
So he had to come off as the triangulating moderate centrist and let Hillary go out there and sh let Hillary supposedly find the Janet Reno's and all the cabinet people, let Hillary be the face of health care.
Everybody thought that Bill was just sort of henpecked here, and this was Hillary's price, but he's every bit as much for it as she was.
They're a team in that regard in terms of advancing liberalism.
It's it's just it's just an indication of how deceitful these people are when it comes to approaching the American people, that they have to mislead, be dishonest about who they are, lie about what they believe in order to get elected.
Absolutely.
I couldn't agree with you more.
But in when you look at it, not only is it the narcissism, but it's cowardice.
He's a coward to come forward.
Reagan wasn't a coward.
You know, President Reagan stood up and said, This is the way it is, and I take responsibility.
He won't take responsibility for anything.
And I just want to say one last thing to you, Rush, before you go.
My husband is a disabled vet.
We spent 24 years in the Navy, and he sends his regards to you and thanks you for everything that you do.
God bless you.
Well, it means a lot to us.
Well, thank you very much.
I I can't tell you how much that means to me, more than I can tell you.
Well, you have no idea what you mean to us.
And it's so wonderful.
I mean, it it's like my heart lifts every day for us when we turn on Rush.
You know, I get I get a dose of energy because I get so damn depressed all the rest of the time listening to this jerk that I don't know what happened.
There was some sort of demonic.
Your husband's a disabled vet, and I you get up every day and and you feel like you go to war with this administration in his own.
Exactly.
There are no bullets flying.
But I mean, you feel like you're going to war every day to save what matters to you to protect what matters to you.
Your freedom.
Yes, because what your husband fought for.
He spent twenty-four years upholding the Constitution and doing the right thing.
And we took much pride in that, you know, a lot of pride.
And and to see this man in office just breaks my heart.
It breaks my heart for the for the guys in Afghanistan that are over there dying every day because this jerk won't get off his butt and and make a decision and send them help.
This is just cruel.
I know.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Man child, however, uh more appropriate.
I just got a blurb here uh from an ABC News business story.
Obama administration slashed sixty thousand jobs from recent stimulus report.
Unrealistic data.
Little chance that a forty two thousand dollar grant actually created five thousand jobs.
I'll click on the link here in a minute when I have uh time to get full details of this, but it's just it's just more insults that uh that pour our way.
A quick little uh soundbite here.
Remember last week, a ladies and gentlemen, and I I mentioned this to Sarah Palin when I was talking to her, but she did not respond.
I said to her, you know, it's very clever that there's no index in your book because the inside the beltway crowd never read books.
They just go to the index to find what page, if they are mentioned, they are mentioned on, and read what is written about them.
I said, Your book has no index, so these people have to read the book if they want to find out what you say about them.
Silence.
She didn't say a word.
But if that was the intention, it worked.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, this afternoon on Andrea Mitchell reports, said this.
Let me just share with you something uh on page 379 in the book.
This is about that weekend in July when I went fishing with Sarah Palin.
Secretly, I must admit, I really wanted to see the likes of Andrea Mitchell on my home turf, witnessing how happy and of peace of mind my family was.
The last time I had seen Andrea, and she goes on to having seen me in Washington.
So they issued an open invitation to us in the press to go fishing with her.
And she says, I wanted to see Andrea and her colleagues sporting fish slime waiters banging around in a skip, stuck in the mud and trying to pull themselves back over the bow.
At the very least, they would see there was no Diva in me.
But she writes that the weather didn't cooperate.
It was sunny, hot, and flatcom, so dang it, none of them got slim.
Yes, indeed, but Andrea Mitchell, somebody had to read the book to get the 379, page 379 to find it and tell Andrea about it, or Andrea herself had to read, because there's no index in there.
And that that's the uh that's the point.
All right, Floral City, Florida.
Carol, glad you called.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Thank you so much, Rush, for taking my call.
We just love you and thank you for everything you're doing.
Thank you.
You bet.
I'm scared to death of the Sarah Palin phenomenon.
I'm a huge fan of her, so I don't want to get on the wrong side of you.
I love her.
She, if she's our only hope for two thousand twelve, we're going to blow a golden opportunity to defeat the most destructive administration we've ever had.
She's great.
I love what she's doing.
She ha does not have enough appeal enough to win.
We need voters for her to actually win.
We've got to win.
You mark my words, Rush.
The elite media is gonna start pushing her as our leading candidate so they can squash her like a bug.
It's uh it's about winning, and if she's our only hope, I'm scared to death that uh w Obama's gonna win, and I don't think this country could withstand it.
Okay, all right.
Fair enough.
Who else can beat her?
I don't know.
I'm still wa I'm still mourning over George Allen.
I mean, I don't know.
There's no one out there.
That's the problem.
So if we keep pushing her and we're not looking for somebody else, we're gonna have another uh a repeat of Obama.
Well, now I I you uh you think the elite media is pushing her to be the nominee.
I look at it the other way.
I think they're trying to destroy her.
Well, they will, but but they would love her her to run against him because they know she can't win.
Oh still, I'm thinking that's the same.
No, no, no, wait a minute.
It doesn't make sense.
Well, here's why make sense to me.
No, here's why it doesn't make sense.
Okay.
If they really thought she was a guaranteed loser, they wouldn't be trying to destroy her.
They'd be promoting her.
They'd be talking about how she may be the only chance the Republican Party has.
They'd be doing whatever they could uh to uh put pressure on Republicans and nominator.
What they're doing is putting pressure on Republicans to abandon her, to leave her alone.
And I think that's because they really I know it's that they they if sh i it it's not even her.
If there were another Republican in the mix that or was able to articulate conservative values and principles like she does, they'd be attacking that person too.
I realize that, Rush, but you don't think uh two years from now they'll completely turn things around because they're not true to anybody or themselves even.
So I I just don't trust these people so much, so that nothing would surprise me.
Well, another problem I have with what you're saying is that you're saying we can't do anything successfully unless we somehow out trick or woo the media.
And that's simply not true.
We defeat the media all the time.
They don't, their candidates don't win every time they run for office.
Can you think of anybody out there?
I can't I can't find a soul.
I mean, I can't think of a but I'm not endorsing her either.
Oh, I know that.
It's way too soon.
I but I've I'm just I'm I'm I'm commenting on things as they are today.
I can't see the future.
I don't even know what she's going to do.
I asked her and she wouldn't say.
I don't know what her plans are.
You have to read between the lines in the in the book, and I, you know, the the subtitle of her book is uh a title, and I think this might be telling.
There the title of her book, the subtitle is An American Life.
That just happens to be the title of Ronald Reagan's autobiography.
Uh biography.
I I I don't think that's accidental that she's tying into uh into Reagan.
I I don't know uh specifically what her future is, and I don't know, you know, wr a lot probably will be learned on this book tour.
She's able to reconnect with the base out there and how this all goes.
You know, she's going to small towns in the heartland.
She's ignoring big cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and I expect certain people on our side to say, well, hell, she can't win if she's going to ignore New York, San Francisco, LA, which is going to be a mistake, because that's like saying we can't win unless we convince enough liberals to vote for us.
Um she's going to where the uh the people that make this country work operate.
Uh and and if if you want to say that there's a strategy here that leads into a future political campaign, I think you could conclude that as a guess.
But nobody really knows, and nobody knows what the next two years are going to bring.
Nobody knows what the next two months are going to bring in terms of politics.
And who else is gonna and try to get in the race?
I'm you might have Mitch Daniels from I uh Indiana trending to it.
Uh Bobby Gindle.
There's a whole lot of names that are not at the top of people's minds right now, other than the people that ran last time.
The Romneys, uh the uh uh Huckabes.
Uh who else is out there?
A couple others.
And and they put Palin in the mix when they poll it, but nobody knows what she's going to do.
But um I'm a I fear a cult like following as Obama.
I just feel that she can do no wrong to the Christian right of which I'm one of them.
But what I'm saying is, wait a second.
Wait a second, Carol.
What?
No, I must say, I must be honest as host, I'm getting a little suspicious here.
No, I'm I'm I'm a fan of hers.
I voted to be a good thing.
I'm beginning to think you may be a seminar caller out.
Not at all.
As God is my witness, I am not a seminar caller.
I'm just did you witness any of the McCain Palin campaign?
Yes, I did.
It was dis it was terrible.
No.
Not no, no.
No, what was terrible?
The whole the way the the thing was run.
I mean, he just I it he acted like he didn't want to win.
Let me be more specific.
Did you see any of Palin's campaign appearances?
Yes, I thought they were great.
I thought she was great.
Did you think there was a cult-like following there?
No, I just think there is now.
I think since then there's a p I uh maybe I'm wrong.
I hope I am wrong, Rush.
God, I hope I'm wrong.
I want to defeat this man so badly that I'm I think I don't know.
I think I know what's happening to you because it's happened to some of my even closest friends.
What?
I told you about the you may have missed the story, but a couple weekends ago I had nine golf buddies and these guys every bit as conservative as I am.
These guys send me stuff, email all this stuff all the time.
These guys, I mean, they they they know me left and right.
And a couple of them were talking to me about Palin pretty close to terms like you are, echoing the sentiments of what they hear in the media.
And I just I I got so angry one night that I started throwing a napkin down on the table at at dinner, and I said, why in why in the world you n you you guys hate the media?
You know exactly who they are and what they do and how they undermine why do you accept what they say about Palin?
And the the this business of of of a cult like figure uh and you you think it's cult-like.
Let me let me tell you what's really happening, Carol.
The reason that people are excited about Sarah Palin is not again so much about Sarah Palin.
They don't know her that well.
What they have learned about her they like.
The people that are getting excited about it, uh excited about her are the people the Republican Party has abandoned.
The mainstream conservative base that is the majority in this country.
Both parties have cast them aside.
She represents what they believe.
She validates what they believe.
It's the opposite of a cult.
Sarah Palin, when she goes out there and talks, talks specifics.
She talks specifics on energy policy.
She talks specifics on budget restraints and constraints and responsibility.
Obama is who had the cult like following.
Obama was the one, you know, just shouting platitudes, meaningless nothings out there.
His supporters had no idea what he stood for.
His his supporters all they knew was he sounded smart, he had a good voice, he sounded really good when he talked, and he wasn't George W. Bush.
Now, I don't I don't detect any cult life.
In fact, to have a cult-like appeal, you almost have to have a sycophantic media.
She's got she's got a media and two political parties trying to destroy her.
And yet she still has all this support.
So I think there's uh more to it here than than what you're assessing.
I I think you are being affected by what you're seeing on television, because you can't miss it.
It's everywhere.
It's on every network, even on Fox.
There are people out there ripping palin to shreds.
Uh and people, well, that Fox is doing it, because oh, it must be true, because Fox is our network, and if Fox is doing it, blah, blah, blah.
So, as uh as Pat Buchanan, you'll say, keep the powder dry out there.
There's a long time to go before 2012.
We got uh what what's what's more important, 2012 right now, Carol, is 2010, the midterm congressional elections.
We'll be right back, folks.
Thanks for the call, Carol.
And we're back, El Rushbow, the fastest three hours in media.
It's um already coming up on the uh rapidly coming up on the close of our second hour.
We have a 16-year-old on the phone from Daytona Beach, Florida.
It's Jordan, and hello, Jordan.
We welcome you here.
Thank you, Mr. Rush.
How are you?
Very good, sir.
Thank you.
Um like you said, I'm 16, I'm currently in high school, I'm dual enrolled also at a college.
I just wanted to uh hear your take on what do you think the country in general, ours, uh has in store, especially in my future.
That's an excellent question.
And I got two ways to go here with this.
I can tell you the truth, or I could paint a picture hoping that what it would do would be motivate the heck out of you.
Which do you want?
Uh does it have to be just one?
Good, you want both.
All right, here's what I actually think is gonna happen.
I think we are in this this is a great country at risk in a dangerous world, and Jordan, the threats to this nation have always been external.
Today, the threat is internal.
The Democrat Party has been so radicalized and is out to remake and essentially refound this country.
They don't like the way it's currently constituted.
They want more and more power, they want more and more people as serfs, dependent on them and the government that they run because they view that as a way to stay in perpetual power because you'll obviously vote for the people that are supporting you, keeping you alive.
The uh there are more Americans opposed to this than there are in favor of it.
And these Americans, you're one of them, are going to do everything they can to prevent this from happening, to stop this politically.
Now, I happen to I happen to be an optimist, and I happen to be one who uh believes in the goodness and the decency of the American people, and I know for a fact that the majority of Americans are not in favor of what President Obama and the Democrats want to do.
They have no desire for it.
Now, a significant percentage of Americans is in favor of it.
Don't know what that number is, but it's nowhere Near a majority.
And there are people all over this country, people that you've heard of and people that you haven't, and people that you will never hear of, who are striving and working hard trying to defeat the Democrats from succeeding at this.
And I have the ultimate faith that we're going to win.
The country means too much to people.
It means too much to their children and grandchildren.
It means too much to the world to just let it go, to let it become one of many nations that's no longer exceptional, that no longer does good and just things around the world.
This is, I don't think America's destiny is defeat.
I don't think our destiny is the loss of greatness.
I think every generation will rise to the occasion, and yours will have to, in order to stave this off.
So now, in telling you that, one of the risks in being optimistic and positive is that people say, oh, good.
Rushing is going to be okay, they don't have to worry about it.
Exactly.
And that that breeds uh apathy and apathy, if too many people do become apathetic, then these forces that are trying to reshape the country win.
So the second option, I could have said, Jason or Jordan, we're in trouble.
I don't know if we can save country.
I've never seen it under attack internally this way.
I have never seen this in my life.
I have never, I never dreamed in my lifetime we would have a president who dislikes this country as much as he does and holds as much of it in contempt as much as he does.
I would have never dreamed that we would have had a president who is doing everything he can to destroy the very engine that creates prosperity and freedom in this country, the American private sector and capitalism.
And in saying something like that, um, some it depends on who you tell that to.
Some people get defeated with that and go, oh, gee, I'll go.
Others get motivated.
Yeah.
Others say, Well, I'm not gonna let that happen.
So the the the answer is is both.
Uh it's gonna be up to you.
Your I would like to think your generation, your generation is the target.
You're you haven't even started earning your living yet.
You may have a part-time job, you may be earning some money, but you're living the result of your education.
You haven't even started earning your living yet, and already it's being taxed because we're in debt.
Yeah.
Well, I'd like to think your optimism would be correct.
However, I think that we're in the situation we're in currently, uh, in specific the people we have elected and our chief and commander Obama is due to the fact of many people in America nowadays are, I believe, just plain out ignorant.
And um, if that is one of the root problems uh and education is not improving, which, you know, I go to a high school and uh I also attend a college as I'm doing roll.
And um, I don't seem to think that you know, education in general is improving.
I just I I I fear that the uh the American people in general are just getting dumber and dumb.
So change it.
Joe, change it.
I agree with you.
I think there's more and more ignorance on the rise.
It's easy to be ignorant, it's hard to learn.
I am here trying to change that.
You gotta join us.
It's one thing to think it, but if you don't take action on it, then you're letting it happen.
You gotta fight it.
Like I said Friday, what can you do?
You be the one in your family that everybody turns to for the right answer on questions of politics and policy.
You be the one that gets educated, you be the one that becomes a teacher.
You be the one everybody turns to when they need to know what the truth is about what's going on.
I just got a note from a friend who wants me to translate the uh story that the Obama people at Copenhagen are gonna back off a year here.
Uh can't get it done this December.
Translation, China told Obama the U.S. had better pay back some of its debt before destroying it and China's economy.
Isn't it ironic to see capitalism being defended by the Chicons?
That's probably pretty I bet that's I bet that's pretty close to what actually happened here.
We'll be back, folks.
