Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, they had a big dilemma today at the White House.
Didn't quite know what to do.
The census form arrived for President Obama to fill out.
And if you've seen the census form, there's a lot of problems.
I mean, what race does he put down?
Negro, other, Indonesian.
We don't know.
They haven't told us how he filled it out, just that he did, and he included the mother-in-law.
Anyway, greetings, my friends.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh.
This is the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to be back with you.
We're here all week, Thursday and Friday, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
They're already rolling their eyes and shaking their heads on the other side of the glass.
Let's not forget John Dingell, March 23rd, 2010 in Detroit.
Well, W, we're not ready to be doing it, but let me remind you, this has been going on for years.
We are bringing it to a halt.
The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 American people in different ways, it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.
To control the people.
And controlling the people.
A great illustration, a great illustration of controlling the people is this phony promise of offshore oil drilling.
It is a feint.
It is a head fake.
Here's all you need to know about, I mean, this is Los Angeles Times citing administration officials, summed up the four biggest elements of the plan.
Eventually.
Eventually open two-thirds of the Eastern Gulf's oil and gas resources for drilling.
Proceed with drilling off Virginia, provided the project clears environmental and military reviews.
Each one of these things has an out.
Study the viability of drilling off the mid and southern Atlantic coasts.
Study the viability of drilling in Alaska's Beaufort or Bufort, don't know how they pronounce it, a bear, and the Chukchi Seas, areas hotly defended by environmental.
We know where there's lots of oil, and none of that area is being drilled.
None of it.
And war, we need lots of oil not being drilled there.
This is a head fake.
This is designed to show Obama is a moderate guy.
Position him as a moderate in favor of developing America's natural resources.
It's an attempt to draw rhinos into a cap and tax agreement.
And it's no accident that Obama is going to Maine today to sell the health care bill.
Why sell the health care bill?
Why, after the fact, what's the big deal?
Well, very simple.
Two names, Olympia Snow and Susan Collins.
You go up there and you attempt to get them to fall in line on his other stuff.
I think Obama's probably going into their backyard to show them how he can hurt them.
He wants to pick them off for other stuff to show he is bipartisan.
And remember, folks, independents, little politics here.
Independents are leaving Obama in droves.
The congressional generic ballot, again, the survey is out.
And the Republicans are over the top big in this.
And it's only happened three times in history that the Republicans have won the generic ballot.
I mean, it's huge, the portend for the November election.
So this offshore drilling, this is designed to mollify swing voters by misleading them again.
And I think it's a test of political instinct, a test for the hopelessly gullible.
Anybody upon hearing this say, hey, maybe we've misjudged the president.
Got to give him credit out there, but he does something right.
Now, if that's you, you have flunked.
The people fooled by this sophistry will be duped again when we get closer to November.
Look at Obama is a radical leftist.
He still wants cap and trade.
They're going to accelerate.
the new cafe standards from 2020 to 2016, which means that corporate fleets must average 35 miles a gallon.
All of this talk about reducing dependence on foreign oil, if he really wanted to do it, there's all kinds of oil in places we know it to exist, including North Dakota.
Is that where the big shale oil deposit is?
But this is all just, this is just temporary.
It's like the nuclear plants.
He's not going to do it, and he's not going to drill.
He's not going to have any new nuclear plants.
All of this is designed to counter the allegations by people like me and other critics that Obama is a radical leftist, period.
He has been in office over a year.
He has not done a thing, not one thing, to make this country more prosperous.
Why would anybody think that he's interested in doing that now?
Everything is designed to grow government.
Everything is designed to weaken the private sector and fool the gullible, the brilliant and ever-reasonable independents and moderates among us.
And that's the thing that you have to remember.
Now, here's a quote, statement from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Most, and they put a press release out on this.
Most of Alaska, all the Pacific Coast, and other areas that could yield affordable energy for American consumers are still closed off from any development.
Rather than a painful compromise, this is therefore actually a step back from what the American people thought had been achieved in 2008.
When gasoline reached $4 a gallon, the American people were shocked to discover that most of our domestic oil reserves were locked up by the federal government.
They demanded change.
In 2008, President George W. Bush revoked his father's executive order barring new offshore energy development, and the Department of the Interior prepared a five-year offshore leasing plan.
The Democrat Congress cooperated by dropping the longtime moratorium, which banned offshore oil production everywhere except in the western Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic Ocean of Alaska.
Now, remember when they caved on this, four bucks, I'd never forget it, $4 a gallon gasoline, and they caved on this.
And right after they caved on it, there were a lot of Democrats running around saying, we really didn't mean to do this, and we really didn't want to do this, and we're going to put this back.
We're going to bring this moratorium back as soon as we can.
The Obama administration suspended the plan and delayed a planned lease auction scheduled for 2011.
And it's now proposing a plan that's even more limited than that.
So they have put the moratorium back on, and they've opened it up in these other areas, again with the words study, eventually, hopefully, and maybe.
Anybody, this is Myron Ebel, the Director of Energy Policy, Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Anyone who sees this as a step in the right direction should remember that Obama still supports energy rationing policies to address global warming.
Oh, by the way, Arctic sea ice traditionally starts melting about this time of year.
Natural.
It is still freezing.
Arctic sea ice is expanding and it is not melting.
By the way, well, I don't know if we're in danger.
I don't know if we're in danger, but I'm looking for a story here.
Ah, ah, here we go.
This is from FoxNews.com.
Global warming activist freezes to death in Antarctica.
I'm trying not to laugh here, folks.
I'm really trying to, we don't want to laugh at this kind of misfortune, but famed global warming activist James Schneider and a journalist friend were both found frozen to death on Saturday, about 90 miles from South Pole Station by the pilot of a ski plane practicing emergency evacuation procedures.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, recounted the pilot, Jimmy Doolittle.
There were two snowmobiles with cargo sleds, a tent, and a bright orange rope that had been laid out on the ice, forming the words help-cold.
One friend of Professor Schneider told EcoInquirer that he had been planning a trip to an ice sheet to film the devastation brought on by global warming.
Instead, he goes down there and dies from exposure.
His wife, Linda, said that she had heard him discussing the trip with his environmentalist activist friends, but she assumed he was talking about the Greenland ice sheet, a much smaller ice sheet than Antarctica.
He kept talking about when they get down to Chile, and I thought they were talking about the order in which they would consume their food supplies.
This is reminiscent of James Brown's wife.
He'd been called the ambassador of Seoul, and she got pulled over for speeding and asked for diplomatic immunity.
Seriously.
So this guy's wife, yeah, we're heading down to Chile and she thinks she's talking about food.
I had no idea when they were talking about Chile, the country from which you usually fly or sail in order to reach Antarctic.
Apparently, while all of Professor Schneider's friends were assuming that the July trek would be to Greenland during Northern Hemisphere summer, his plans were to actually snowmobile to the South Pole, which in July is the dead of winter.
Mr. Doolittle related how some people do not realize that even if there has been warming in Antarctica, the average temperature in July still runs about 70 degrees below zero.
Some people think July is warm everywhere on Earth.
Now, okay, so Obama still believes that global warming is happening, even though the ice and the Arctic ice, is the Antarctic ice?
Well, I'm going to get confused.
Arctic sea ice grows back to normal.
First time since 20 or 2001, Arctic ice grows back to normal.
It's normally melting, starting to melt by this time.
And we have global warming activist freezes to death.
Yeah, with the sign that laid out in orange tape there, help?
Cold.
And we're not going to drill for oil, folks.
This isn't going to happen, just like we're not going to have these new nuclear plants.
Anyway, back to Myron Ebel's statement here.
Anybody who sees this as a step in the right direction should remember that Obama still supports energy rationing policies to address global warming that would cause electricity prices to, in his own words, necessarily skyrocket and would require gas prices of at least $7 a gallon, according to a recent Harvard study.
And I remember reporting that.
$7 a gallon Harvard study stuff.
Anyway, brief timeout here, folks.
We'll come back.
Your phone calls coming up as well as catching up on a number of things that have happened while away.
And I think the story of the week, the story of the week is all of these companies taking a first quarter charge because they are required to.
Generally accepted accounting principles and the SEC require them to do this so that investors have all the information they deserve and need to know whether to continue investing a company like AT ⁇ T or Caterpillar or what have you.
And now Henry Nostrilitis Waxman is summoning every damn one of these people to a hearing in which he is going to demand they explain themselves because this healthcare bill is supposed to lower everybody's costs.
What this all is, predicted by me on this program last week, what all this is about is setting up the notion that American private sector businesses are responsible for whatever goes wrong in healthcare so that the government can move to a single payer system even faster.
I'll have details and analysis coming right up.
Stay with.
Welcome back, El Rushball, off to a rousing start.
Snerdley, it worked.
You know, normally, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not a conformist.
Valentine's Day, and I don't do much because everybody else does.
April Fools.
Long ago, I stopped trying to do April Fools jokes because everybody's expecting them.
So I told Snerdley today, I'm going to do a hoax story as though I buy into it for real because there are going to be some people who will buy into it because I will have credibility.
Now, this story about the global warming guy freezing to death in the Antarctic is a fraud hoax story.
It's from FoxNation.com.
FoxnewsNation, it's not foxnews.com.
It's a parody site.
And it's been running around.
This story has been running around since 2008.
And it's one of those things that, you know, it works because it has an element of truth in it.
We do know that we were frozen guys trying to get to the North Pole had to be rescued, global warming guys studying the concept of global warming, and they almost froze to death heading up to the Arctic Circle.
So here's a global warming story that is for real.
Professor James Lovelock, the scientist who developed the GAA theory, has said it is too late to try and save the planet.
The man who achieved global fame for his theory that the whole Earth is a single organism now believes that we can only hope that the Earth will take care of itself in the face of completely unpredictable climate change.
Interviewed by the BBC today, presenter John Humphreys, videos of which can be seen at the website, he said that while the Earth's future was utterly uncertain, mankind was not aware it had pulled the trigger on global warming as it built its civilizations.
What is more, he predicts the Earth's climate will not conveniently comply with the models of modern climate scientists.
He said, look, he's 90 years old now, this guy, Professor Lovelock.
Whether the planet saves itself or not, he argues, all we can do is enjoy life while we can.
We can't save the planet.
Too late.
So there's a global warming story that is for real.
Also, this story is for real from Susan Page, USA Today, which is often confused with a parody site.
Americans anxious about unemployment and the economy increasingly blame President Obama for the hard times.
This is according to USA Today Gallup poll amid signs of turbulence in November's midterm elections.
Last week's jubilant signing of the health care overhaul, Obama's signature domestic initiative, seems to have given the president little boost.
Instead, his standing on four personal qualities has sagged, and 50% of those surveyed say he does not deserve reelection.
26% say he does deserve a great deal of the blame for the nation's economic problems, nearly double the number who felt that way last summer.
In all, half say Obama deserves at least a moderate amount of blame.
Now, USA Today and Gallup were very much shocked.
And upset by these results, so they also included in their poll the status of congressional leaders.
And of course, they have to point out, dutifully so, the president fares better than other Washington leaders.
In the poll, 52% say they have a favorable opinion of Obama.
That's much higher than Pelosi at 36%, Boehner at 29%, Harry Reid at 29%, and McConnell at 31%.
So half the country, more than half, blame Obama for the poor economy and for unemployment.
It's about time.
But they had to balance that out with, but he's still far more popular than the people in Congress.
Now, here is TheHill.com, and their reported the same poll.
Americans believe Democrats are just as much to blame for the violence and threats surrounding the health care debate.
49% of respondents said that controversial political maneuvers by Democrats were a major reason for the threats.
29% said it was a minor reason, which is a total of 74% who assign blame of one sort or another to the Democrats.
Meanwhile, 46% said criticism of the bill by conservative commentators was a major reason, with 26% calling it a minor reason.
That's a 72% total.
And so they're trying to balance this out.
Democrats just as much to blame as Republicans for violence and threats.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are lying low after their health care victory from Reuters.
The week after passing landmark health care reform and handing Obama an important victory, members of the U.S. Congress returned to their home districts for a recess to face constituents and justify their votes after a bruising legislative battle.
While Obama made flying visits across the country to tout it, a number of key Democrats seem to keep a low profile and are doing little to beat the drum.
Well, if the health care bill is so marvelous and so wonderful, why are they lying low out there?
Before public anger over health care phage, Republicans from veteran senators to freshman congressmen racing to get their message out at the outset of the two-week spring recess.
One Democrat, some guy from Ohio, has canceled a town hall meeting because he got a letter, a death threat.
And of course, this is the kind of news that Democrats are fundraising off of.
They're using this as fundraising.
And I've mentioned before, well, last week, that parade of congressmen marching through the Tea Party protesters on Sunday of the health care passage in the House of Representatives, Pelosi carrying that giant gavel.
I mean, it was an in-your-face.
And they were trying, Jesse Jackson Jr. videotaping the whole thing on his cell phone, recording it, video on his cell phone, trying to get footage of misbehavior.
They didn't, so they had to make it all up.
Emmanuel Cleaver, reports were that he was spat upon, that he's been interviewed in Kansas City, WDAF.
He will not talk about the incident.
He will not talk about it.
So he's still laying low on that.
They're using this to fundraise.
All of these incidents probably set up as part of a strategy.
We'll be back.
Sit tight.
I don't believe what I'm seeing, folks.
I'm seeing a brunette on the Fox News channel.
And they actually have one there, a brunette.
Maybe it's just April Fools, and that's their trick.
El Rushbaugh back, serving humanity simply by showing up telephone number 800-282-2882 and El Rushbow at EIBnet.com, the email address from CNNMoney.com.
Private sector employers continued to cut jobs in March, highlighting the challenges still facing the nation's job market.
According to a report released yesterday, automatic data processing, which processes paychecks for one in every six U.S. employees, said private sector employers cut payrolls by 23,000 jobs in March, marking the smallest monthly decline since February of 2008.
Now, about this, the census workers now finally get tabulated, the temporary workers, on the unemployment calculation.
And they're going to report tomorrow the, I think the advanced word is a net gain for the first time since 2007, a net gain of jobs.
And I want to warn you that they're going to go nuts over the, oh, it's finally working, Obama, the stimulus final.
It's not, it's just temporary workers.
It's government workers.
Private sector unemployment continues to rise.
And even with, even with the 100,000 census workers that are going to be, and that's just this month, there are over a million of them that are going to be eventually totaled on the unemployment rolls or the employment rolls, but they're temporary.
The fact of the matter is, unemployment is going to be reported as 9.8%, up one-tenth of a percentage point.
That's the best guesstimate now.
And so the private sector continues to shrink by design and on purpose.
The number of job cuts in February from the private sector survey revised to a loss of 24,000 jobs from the previously reported 20,000.
The decline surprised many economists.
It always does.
I don't care what the news is.
A consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a gain of 40,000 jobs instead of the loss of 24,000.
American businesses are on the cusp of recovery, yet this report shows that they remain hesitant to increase their payrolls.
Well, why would that be?
Let's take that sentence.
This is Gary Butler, who is the chief executive of ATP, the big paycheck company.
Let's take his sentence here at face value.
American businesses are on the cusp of recovery, yet this report shows that they remain hesitant to increase their payrolls.
Now, why would that be if they're on the cusp?
Well, I have a story later on down in the stack, and it's all about how their companies are mean and evil, and they are going to make their existing employees work even harder and get their productivity up from their current employees, making them more efficient and therefore not needing to hire any new workers.
And everything that is being reported as something sour or bad in terms of economic news, such as all of these corporations taking their first quarter charge because of this one page, one page of the 2,700-page health care bill, one page cost ATT a billion dollars.
And a lot of other companies are adding to it daily.
And of course, these guys are going to be brought in to summon to Henry Waxman's committee in late April to explain themselves.
And I hope the hell they do.
I hope the hell they do explain themselves instead of caving in.
I have no idea what's going to happen, but I sure hope they don't cave.
So they're going to be blamed.
This is the way it's all being set up.
Remember, when Obama first started talking about this brilliant tax credit for every employee hired, small businesses would get $3,000 tax credit for every employee hired.
And even I, who am not an economist, know full well what a joke that is.
If you hire somebody, let's just pick a round number at $50,000 a year, and it costs you another $10 to get them health care benefits.
So you have to pay $60,000 to hire somebody, and they're going to give you a $3,000 tax credit.
It ain't worth it.
And so, when small businesses do not take up Obama on his offer, why, guess who gets to blame?
He gets to run around to, I'll try it, I'll try small business, I'm on their side, but they still refuse.
They refuse to bring on new workers.
Greed and the profit motive are more important to them than their work.
And that's exactly what's going to happen here with these companies being brought into Washington to face Henry Waxman.
And Bart Stupak, by the way, is the number two Democrat on that committee going to be grilling these people, just so you know.
And they're going to bit the blame for this.
They're going to be there.
Waxman said this bill was designed to reduce profit.
But Pelosi, Pelosi said, any insurance company that raises premiums will not be allowed to enter the federal exchange.
Folks, this is, that's, I don't know how to describe it.
Stalinist?
Certainly what Waxman is doing is Stalinist to tell these insurance people, they have no choice but then to raise premium prices.
It's not possible.
Oh, by the way, in the healthcare stack today, do you realize we're back to 46 million uninsured now?
We are back to 46 million uninsured.
Let me find it.
Let's see.
Healthcare loans.
Well, it's in here.
Ah, here it is.
Can't afford health care.
Wait until June.
This is Frank Cavillins, the senior writer for CNNMoney.com.
For millions of uninsured or underinsured Americans, healthcare reform legislation will soon remove some of the barriers preventing them from getting the coverage they need.
The most immediate changes affecting those who don't have health insurance or are not buying enough insurance to meet their needs start in 81 days.
How many people will die in 81 days not having health insurance?
Underinsured consumers are those who incur high out-of-pocket costs, excluding premiums relative to their income, despite having coverage all year.
By one estimate, about 25 million Americans cannot afford to cover the gap between what their insurance covers and what their medical bills demand.
Many other long-term measures will be phased in over the next years.
And wait for it.
More than 46 million Americans currently don't have any health insurance.
Now, during the healthcare debate, it was 32 million, remember?
Now we're back to 46.
I guess somewhere we are actually covering illegals now, somewhere in this 3,000-page monstrosity.
Call a Congressional Budget Office.
How can this possibly be?
46 million Americans currently don't have any health insurance.
Now, the insurance companies have, I don't know how you expect $32 million, $46 million to be given coverage and have premiums not go up.
And Pelosi says if the insurance companies raise their premiums, they're not going to be allowed in the exchange.
Well, what is the objective?
The objective all along has been to rid the nation of the private health insurance business, is to wipe it out and to move as quickly as they can to the single-payer government system.
And that's what Waxman's committee hearing is all about.
He just can't trust American bills.
They're greedy.
They're trying to show up President Obama.
They're trying to embarrass President Obama.
That's what the storyline is going to be.
Got to take a break.
Come back, get some of your calls right after this.
No less than Tim Geithner, the tax cheat and the Treasury Secretary, has admitted that Barack Obama is a failure when it comes to job creation in the private sector.
The unemployment rate is still terribly high, and it's going to stay unacceptably high for a long period of time.
It's going to take a long time to bring it down just because of the damage caused by the recession.
Which was exacerbated by you.
So, as we have been telling you, high unemployment rate setting us up.
The new normal, 9.5%, 10% unemployment, maybe even higher.
Now, we all know that the stimulus bill was and is a slush fund for the Democrats.
The war on prosperity, which is exactly what is happening here.
And they got a story in the stack here that some economists are saying it may be 20 years before America resumes the prosperity that we witnessed in the 20th century.
Maybe two decades for this to happen.
War on prosperity being orchestrated from the White House.
Millions of Americans are out of work, and Obama is unfazed.
Literally unfazed.
Obama has no empathy, shows no emotion, no concern for the plight of these people, no concern that his own policies are causing this.
In fact, this is how dependency is created.
In the White House, they probably got a mission accomplished banner that they don't dare let the press see, but I'm sure it's in there somewhere.
Mission accomplished.
More and more dependence is on tap.
This is how you weaken and destroy the private sector.
Remember, unemployment rate's going to go out.
The news is going to come out tomorrow, and we're going to hear all these new jobs.
Oh, yeah, and everybody's going to be applauding.
But remember, they are census workers, government workers, and they are temps.
Private sector employment continues to fall.
Obama promised 3.5 million jobs, 90% in the private sector when he signed the porculus bill.
It was a lie.
He knew it.
This is why Obama says he's for expanding nuclear power and offshore drilling.
See, what he's doing here, folks, Obama is deeming himself to be concerned.
He is deeming himself a concerned, moderate Democrat.
But really, Obama is the equivalent of the slaughter rule when it comes to creating jobs.
He deems himself a job creator when clearly he's anything but that, except when it comes to government jobs.
Never forget, Obama is a radical leftist.
He's nothing other than that.
Now, the media desperate to spin him as a moderate.
And all of these environmentalist wackos, they're up in arms here over the new drilling.
He's playing them for saps and suckers, too.
I mean, I doubt that they're in on the game.
I guess he's playing them for sad.
Nothing better in the world.
It's like Sister Soldier moment.
Nothing better in the world for a bunch of leftist environmentalist wackos to be mad at Obama, right?
And you environmentalist wackos, you ought not get mad.
You ought not waste your time.
You're not going to have anything other than what you want.
You're going to get your cap and trade agreement.
The unions are probably going to get card check if people take their eye off the ball.
He's going to do everything he can to get all this.
This is about, and also, I think the psychology here, people, maybe Obama has learned from the rigorous healthcare debate that he must slow down the role of government and turn it into something oriented toward expanding the private sector, like nuclear power and oil drilling.
But anybody who trusts Democrats, after what we have just been through, anybody who trusts Democrats is nothing more than an April fool on every aspect of Obama's agenda.
Now, I want to get something out of the way here.
I got all kinds of people emailing me and sending me flashes here.
You've got to play Hank Johnson.
You've got to play Hank Johnson.
All right, I'll play Hank Johnson.
I'm going to play the audio sound, but there's something you've got to know here.
Hank Johnson replaced Cynthia McKinney.
Hank Johnson has hepatitis C. He's had it for 10 years.
His liver, I'm told, is ravaged.
He loses his train of thought in mid-sentence many times.
The man simply is not all there because of hepatitis C. That's a bad, bad, bad disease.
That Pelosi keeps him on a committee and she puts him out there where he can be embarrassed when actually this should not happen.
This was last Thursday in the House Armed Services Committee during a testimony about the 2011 defense budget request.
Hank Johnson and Admiral Robert Willard, U.S. Navy, have this exchange about Guam.
This is an island that at its widest level is, what, 12 miles from shore to shore, and at its smallest level, smallest location, it's seven miles between one shore and the other.
My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.
We don't anticipate that.
That was Admiral Robert Willard saying he doesn't anticipate that Guam will become so overpopulated that it'll tip over and capsize.
So I wanted to play it for you.
Everybody says, you got to play Hank Johnson.
Well, just remember, he's not right.
He's critically ill, has been for quite a while.
Okay, a phone call or two.
Let's go to Casper, Wyoming.
Samuel, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing, brother?
Very well.
Thank you.
Fantastic.
Well, like I said, I'm in Wyoming, so we're not afraid we're going to tip over and capsize at any point.
I called about the offshore drilling that Obama was talking about.
It's a bit of a misnomer.
Two weeks ago, they canceled 38,000 federal drilling leases in eastern Montana.
Yeah, those are probably on the Bakken formation.
Are you familiar with the Bakken formation?
Yes, very well for more.
Very well aware of that.
1.7 trillion in oil, 155% of what's in Yemen.
If we can get 10% of it, that's just 10%.
They've spent a lot of time talking about offshore drilling and none of their time talking about drilling inland.
Exactly right.
We have enough oil in the Bakken formation.
We've got to recover just 10% of it for export.
Well, exactly.
We've got oil at Brudhome Bay.
We've got oil at Anwar.
All of the places where we know oil exists, he's not drilling.
The most recent data for the areas that Obama has opened up, and by the way, by the way, folks, none of this is going to happen if Congress doesn't vote for it.
He can't just, well, he could issue an executive order, but he won't on this.
Congress has to approve this.
They have to vote for this.
You think the environmentalist lobby is going to let him get away with this?
He knows full well they won't.
Same thing with all the time it'll take to go through the process of getting a nuclear power plant through permits and certification.
But the most recent data we have on some of these areas that he's opened up for possible drilling is 30 years old.
We're not even sure what we're going for in these areas.
The whole thing is a giant scam.
And we'll be back.
Do you remember this story?
This is from August 5th of 2009.
We reported it on this program.
U.S. ready to finance oil drilling in Brazil.
Up to $10 billion in loans to finance the development of massive hydrocarbon reserves off Brazil's coast.
And this also was in league with George Soros.
And this was not to study.
They were not exploring.
They were not testing.
This was to drill.
So we're happy to help other nations do this.
And he just performs tricks on the American people where drill-baby drill is concerned.
