After this hour is over, the next voice you hear on this program tomorrow will be Rush Limbaugh himself.
Cannot wait to hear what he has to say.
Do you have the sense, as I do, that we all went to bed one day and that we woke up on an entirely different planet?
That's how rapidly things are changing.
Totally different planet.
Nothing is as you could have ever wished in your past ten or twenty years of your life.
Nothing at all is the way you thought it would ever be.
The planet we live in has all the usual things that we think of.
It has the blame game.
The you did this first, he did it first, Bush did it first.
BP did it, they did it.
The president said, I don't appreciate those men pointing the finger.
He's the finger the pointer finger in chief, of course, replacing Bill Clinton as the finger pointer in chief.
He said he said, I don't appreciate it, then going up to Capitol Hill and pointing the finger.
I don't appreciate it, sir.
Who are you to appreciate anything?
You don't decide.
These are the oil experts.
So we all went to bed one night, woke up on a different planet where everything is somehow the opposite to how it should be.
If they say don't go to Las Vegas, you go to Las Vegas.
I go to Las Vegas.
Love it.
They say don't go to Arizona because they don't like Arizona's position on immigration.
Then go to Arizona.
You know, I have a theory about why they don't want you to go to Arizona.
I tell you, I the the theory is simple.
In the state of Arizona, there is the largest piece of evidence in North America that climate change and global warming is not man-made.
I'm referring to the Grand Canyon.
They don't want you to know how that got there.
They will tell you that the greatest threat to world peace is Israel.
They won't tell you that China is.
They won't tell you that North Korea is.
They won't tell you that Iran is.
Israel, yes, greatest threat to world peace.
Everything is the opposite.
They'll tell you that the Black Panthers with clubs outside polling stations, not intimidation.
Not intimidating.
But you don't it's the opposite.
I know it is.
They'll tell you that wearing an American flag on your t-shirt during the day of Cinco de Mayo.
Now that is intimidation.
You see, it's opposite land, opposite land.
If they say it's Bush's fault, at this point in the story, it's probably Obama's fault.
They tell you if it's Bush's fault, it's Obama's fault.
Just count on it.
Everything is opposite land.
Man-made disaster, they tell you, the biggest man made disaster.
They don't believe that such things as accidents occur.
I tell you this, the election of Barack Obama is an accident.
Somebody said to me, they wrote a funny thing.
They said, give me liberty or give me Barack Obama's second term.
I love that.
But you know, I hold in my hands from the New York Times a poll that and the headline that says in a poll, Obama was seen as ineffective on the economy.
And it talks about the substantial majority of Americans who say that President Obama has not developed a strategy to deal with the budget deficit, and they found that support for his plans to overhaul health care, the auto industry, to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that all these things fall well below his job approval ratings.
Now this article is dated June of 2009.
Of 2000 Obama's poll is shows that he's ineffective on the economy.
So I ask you, what has happened since June of 2009 to make you feel better about it?
It's I swear, it's almost as if these people desire and have an addiction to chaos of some sort.
Think of the chaos on all the fronts that we have.
We have economic chaos.
Economic chaos.
We have military economic chaos all over the world, by the way.
We have military chaos, military chaos with our enemies, military chaos with our friends, we stab the Polish and the Czechs in the back.
We remove the missile shield.
The very missile shield that Nancy Pelosi was screaming about.
Why doesn't it work when George Bush was president?
Remember that when North Korea was launching their tests?
She said, Why doesn't it work?
Why isn't it working?
Now it's they scrap it.
They scrap it.
You've got the Chinese military.
Have you seen this one?
The Chinese military pose a very serious threat to you and I. The administration does not want to talk about that.
Do you remember in your lifetime at all?
Anyone who is Secretary of State, anyone from the State Department going to China and really putting human rights no place on the list.
They say human rights is not on the agenda.
Human rights is not on the I grew up in a world where human rights was the agenda.
Gotten very complacent.
Hard for me to explain to my 20-year-old son what the what the Berlin Wall is about, what the Eastern Bloc was about, what the Iron Curtain was about.
We've gotten very complacent because we don't have those things anymore.
A whole generation has grown up without them.
The Chinese military has canceled a visit of Robert Gates.
He was supposed to go there this week.
He was supposed to go there this week.
They've canceled the visit.
They say he's not welcome here.
They say he he is out of step with the with correct views.
They said nearly all aspects of the relationship between the United States and China are moving forward in a positive relation except the military relationship.
This is what the Chinese are saying.
One of China's top colonels promised recently.
He said we will have hand-to-hand fighting with the U.S. within ten years when we are strong enough.
He said we must make them hurt.
What exactly is Barack Obama's plan for this?
Runaway China, where you've got the civilian leadership and the military leadership, and you wonder who wins in that in that conversation.
Is it the military leadership?
Chaos.
Absolute chaos every place you turn.
Chaos every place you turn.
Peggy Noonan had a fabulous piece the other day.
She talked about this report from the Inspector General's office of the Justice Department.
They issued a report, got no coverage, virtually no coverage at all, issued in May, saying that the Justice Department is not prepared to ensure public safety in the days or weeks following a terrorist attack in which nuclear biological or chemical weapons are used.
That is a very shocking report.
The story was overlooked every place.
The most important overlooked story possibly of the past week, past several weeks, possibly the most overlooked story of the past year, because it is not surprising.
We're not prepared.
And also because I think people don't want to notice it and deal with the reality of it.
Chaos.
Chaos every place.
The whole idea of 9-11 and all the the weight of implications that go along with it, you know, it it's in a way so much on our minds that we put it out of our minds.
So the report from the Inspector General of the Justice Department issued the end of May.
It says the Department is not prepared to ensure public safety of the days or weeks after a terrorist attack.
The Department of Homeland Security is designated as the first responder, and uh every agency and government has a role, an assigned role, but justice is to manage and coordinate law enforcement and step in if state and local authorities are overwhelmed.
Well, the report goes on to show how poorly they would do and how ill-prepared they they are for it.
Where where is that?
President who will not talk about enemies in terms of enemies?
President who whose very attorney general will not bristles, bristles at the words, the very words that name specifically who the enemies are.
President who would not discuss the Fort Hood shootings for what they were for what you and I know they were.
You know, where are we?
Where are we?
The vigilance has to start absolutely at the top from the leadership.
And of course, uh if you don't have it from the leadership, you've got nothing.
The disease begins and ends in the White House.
It begins and ends there, and the cure needs to come right from the top.
You know, one worries.
Will we have a wake-up call?
How many people speculated that we might during this administration?
How many people speculate it's a leadership deficit, isn't it?
Leadership deficit.
We're back to the same question.
Same thing we've seen in the Gulf, leadership deficit leadership deficit.
To your calls.
In Fairfax, Virginia, Lorraine, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Thank you so much, Doug, for taking my call.
You've come up with some very thought-provoking uh topics uh today.
Uh and I was wondering, could I ask you a quick question before I get to my comment?
If that would be all right with you.
Well, why not?
What else have we got to do?
Well, uh listen, it's just it'll just be a quick question, but when you're a guest host, uh, and you do you have to make the trip to uh to Rush Limbaugh's um studio to do the show or if you have your own show, you know, your own radio show elsewhere at your hometown, do you just do it from there with your own staff?
Or do you actually had to come down to the to the Rush Limbaugh show, the EBIA, you know, the EIB network to do that.
Yeah, you're asking me secrets that must not be given away.
There's much I will tell you.
When you do the limbaugh show, they've asked that I wear a tuxedo.
That is the only requirement is that I must wear a tuxedo and stand at a podium.
You you can't you can't see that, of course, but that is the protocol, at least the first time you do it at a and a bow tie.
And it's in his studio.
Why you keep asking this question Lorraine, I told you the the details of the location of the limbo show are secret.
Oh, but what you wear is a tuxedo.
I can't can I be any clearer, Lorraine?
Why do you want to know this information?
I'm just I was just curious that it's uh it's just you know but don't be so curious, Lorraine it's okay.
It trust me, it's okay.
If you have another you had a real comment you wanted to make it a little bit let me get to the heart of the matter that might be of interest to the Rush Limbaugh listeners which are very educated, very smart people.
What what the Obama and his administration have done with this Gulf oil spill, I know a lot of people think he's just incompetent well that that's that's partially true, but he didn't ask for help from other countries that offered it for a very good reason.
Saul Lewinsky's rule for radicals since we've got a master manipulator in the White House, which is what Obama is and he taught law r uh you know uh Solowinski's rule for radicals when he was uh at Harvard as a as a uh professor well he wasn't a professor there but go on he was yeah he was a uh he was a visiting professor someplace else but he's still professor but what is your what is your point well he's also a constitutional expert too but here's the thing no he's not a constitutional expert this is one of the most over hyperbloviated
things in the world he is not a constitutional he was a guest lecturer from a leftist activist point of view about the Constitution this does not make you a constitutional expert Lorraine you know by the way Lorraine Lorraine do you you stand corrected do you not?
Well, yes, I do.
What I was trying to say with that point is that he's slowly dismantling our Constitution with the leftist agenda of his.
And one of the ways he's going to do it is with cap and trade.
This Gulf disaster is going to be a way that he can present to the public the need for cap and trade.
It's the biggest it's the biggest story that most the most intrusive aspect.
If it wasn't intrusive enough for them to take control of your body and what is done with it.
medically the most intrusive thing it will be decided what is done to your home, how your house gets tagged, how you can sell it, how many children you have, the carbon footprint of even eating a hamburger will be something that they look at.
I promise Lorraine I got a scoot Doug Bansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh be right back.
I felt for some time that the idea of legitimate executive experience was the thing that would really uh better equip you to be president of the United States, you know being senators especially voting president being bureaucrats very bad very bad background for the presidency once you've had the chance to manage something to operate something to be a legitimate executive you have some experience running something then you also have crisis remember Ronald Reagan had run a union a really serious union
too.
He had negotiated with hard Hollywood people.
So we are witnessing an almost unimaginable failure of leadership, a leadership deficit that the media has covered up for and covered up for and covered up for.
And I don't care about these stories that you've seen come out that sort of are slightly critical from the left media because they still come down on one side of the equation.
Can you imagine?
It's the same media that blasted Senator McCain for his age.
They blasted Sarah Palin for being being irrelevant same same media that supports Barack Obama I mean reality is stranger than fiction in the story executive experience and can we say the word governor don't you think there's some governors that would be ideal presidential you watch in New Jersey Governor Christie remarkable remark the non presidential presidential candidate.
He doesn't look like a president he doesn't speak the way that a packaged president is supposed to speak but man oh man oh man he speaks in giant giant thoughts in simple small sentences man watch this guy he's de and he's afraid of no one he takes them all on the non presidential I don't need a president who looks like he's off of a a commercial.
I made the point before.
That the Clinton era marked, you have to remember this, just tie it into the culture.
The popularity of the Clinton era, mostly, was because Dynasty and Dallas had been canceled immediately just beforehand.
And with the Clintons, you've got Jim McDougal, you've got all the great characters who we missed from prime time.
It's no different in the Obama administration.
You have to wonder when they were voting for Obama, were they confusing it with an episode of American Idol?
Because it's the American Idol president.
Court's backfired.
Governor, governor, Chris Christie, watch this guy, watch him.
You can't get him on interview shows because he's not in a rush to talk to cameras.
And man, when he talks to the press and to his state government, he talks right over the heads of the press directly to the people.
They hate him for it, and of course they can't stop him.
You can't stop him.
Watch this man.
So we're faced with a crisis where we have a crisis in uh the world of finance.
We have a war uh going on in Afghanistan.
We have a corporate environment that is a a disaster because of the hatred of free enterprise.
How ironic, how ironic.
Do you think John McCain would have handled the situation better than Barack Obama or you know, we think back of the Giants, Mrs. Thatcher.
We think back of Mitterron.
We think of the leaders who played chess on the stage of the world.
And you're watching a guy who um barely is playing checkers, as is as it is.
And by the way, blame is not a strategy for anything.
It's not a strategy in the Gulf, it's not a strategy with the Chinese.
It's not a strategy with North Korea.
Blame is not a strategy.
So Obama's success factors, his year and a half in office.
The first thing he wants to do, he's got to create a permanent voting block of socialists, permanent bloc, and he's gonna do that with the young, the young who don't know of socialism, who don't know of the Berlin Wall.
He's gotta empower the global media.
He's gotta empower it and he's gotta captivate it.
They do not like the fact that I can come here today and say what I say to you.
No one has told me what to say, by the way.
No one has told me, there's no notes.
They're telling me now I must say it's the Russian Mush.
1-800-282-2882 is the number.
You know that already.
They've got to complete, they've got to declare an economic warfare on small businesses and on big business, or get in bed with them.
They've got to capture industry.
And you watch what they're going to try and do.
They've tried to do it with health care, they're going to do it, pharmaceutical industries.
Back when Eisenhower was president, he warned us of the military industrial complex, but no one warned us about the pharmaceutical medical industrial complex.
No one warned us about that.
The most important thing they're doing is rewriting the history of this country and rewriting the history of American exceptionalism.
When you read of people like George Washington and our founders, and there's nothing wrong with reading about them.
And when you read about Ronald Reagan, you you too were well up with pride that we had such great men who believed in individualism.
I want to go back and talk about Lorraine for a moment.
I gave her a short shrift when she was on the phone a few minutes ago.
Lorraine asked where the show was located, where I was.
He wanted to know if I had to go to New York, if I had to stay in my hometown.
And I was I didn't want to tell her the details of it.
What I will tell you, Lorraine, is that they're very, very, very helpful here.
Someone like me, who, as you can tell, is not a professional radio host, has come here, and they give you Rolls-Royce treatment.
You must go to them.
They will do it, they'll give you uh all sorts of accommodations to do it, and they'll show you how the show works.
And it is really like flying a 747.
It's like flying a 747.
That's also a half-breed with the Concord, because this is gonna go at a supersonic speed, and you you have to be very careful you don't crash it.
But Lorraine, anyway, that that is what they do, and um I don't know where all the guest hosts have done them, but many of them are professional hosts with their own with their own show.
But as I did tell you, you have to wear tuxedo.
That was the one thing that was the one I didn't fit into mine, uh put on some weight since the last awards ceremony.
They can attack capitalism.
No one knows what capitalism even means anymore.
If you use the words free enterprise, everyone knows what that means, because it speaks right to your heart.
It goes right to your gut free enterprise.
They want to control your wealth, of course, the private sector.
They want government government finance.
You've seen what they're doing with the college funding programs.
That's a very nasty grab.
Eventually, you watch they're going to want to redefine the electoral system.
That is that is their eye is on that one.
You wait and see.
The electoral system, and of course, all the boundaries of America, our language, our legal boundaries, the foundation of the country, all of it is slowly going to be erased.
You watch Douglas Rubelski filming and be right back.
Really nasty piece, really nasty piece of the New York Times online commentary.
And they use the word, they call it the very angry Tea Party.
The word anger or angry is used again and again and again in the in the piece, with no background or evidence given to the nature of this uh anger.
They must label it.
Of course, they're great at labeling.
And you do have to wonder when they talk about Tea Parties, and it is a really uh an organic movement that has sprung up on its own.
It's an activist movement.
It may in fact be activist conservatism, which what I was talking about a little bit earlier.
By the way, it's the sort of activism that the agitator Obama himself specialized in, but that anger apparently is the good anger, that's the right anger.
You know, I have here on the big broadcast desk that I'm allowed to visit.
I actually have in my hand the book by Saulinsky Rules for Radicals.
I'm memorizing it.
I'm memorizing it as if it's the Quran.
I want to know everything that's in it.
It's great stuff.
It is brilliant stuff.
It is talented stuff.
It is demented stuff too.
It is demented almost from page six onwards.
But it is brilliant, and you read it.
It's not complicated to understand.
Look, it can't be complicated to understand, Barack Obama understands it.
So the New York Times online commentary says the very angry Tea Party.
It says more than their political ideas.
It is the anger of the Tea Party members that is already reshaping our political landscape.
He says the vast majority of House Democrats are now avoiding holding town call style forums.
And he compares the reason to, he says, just as you might sidestep an enraged jilted lover on a subway platform, out of the fear of confronting Tea Party rage.
Has there been a lot of Tea Party rage?
I may have missed it all.
They're trying to dissect what are the exact events that have inspired what the New York Times again calls the fierce anger of the Tea Parties.
And then he he tries to dissect the reasons.
He says, well, the Tea Party wants to keep the government out of health care.
And he wants to point out the contradictions to you.
The Tea Party wants to keep the government out of health care, but they want to leave Medicare alone.
They want to balance the budget, but they don't want you to raise taxes.
These are not genuine contradictions, by the way.
These are invented come these are invented ideas so that he can shoot down the whole concept of Tea Parties.
Because obviously, if you want to balance the budget, but you don't want to raise taxes, that means you must cut spending.
Which is one of the main sacraments of liberalism is spending, or I should say confiscation.
Confiscation of your money.
He points out further in the contradictions that Tea Party folks would like to let individuals take care of themselves, but leave Social Security alone.
He says it's a paradox that Tea Party folks do not support Wall Street, support Wall Street, but they want to let the Wall Street wealthy get on with it without regulation.
That is not true.
We have had very good Wall Street regulation over the years.
We do not want to see such things as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the environment that creates this failure, fueled and fertilized.
You do want to see banks lend to small businesses.
Another writer in the New York Times argues, he says that Tea Parties have a hodgepodge list of animosities.
They do not have a coherent body of political grievances in a conventional sense.
He says they are lacking the thread of achieving political power.
He calls the Tea Parties activists.
A libertarian mob, since they believe that they can do anything by themselves if left alone.
Now here's the point.
Were we not are we not told that being an activist is a good thing?
Being an agitator is a good thing.
Is that not what Barack Obama has done himself?
I mean, tea parties have organically grown up, and they're worth listening to.
It's not going to be a third party.
We're not going to end up like one of those countries with twenty-five parties.
Places where the phones haven't worked for twenty-five years, places where this trains have ceased running since nineteen fifty-four.
We're not gonna be one of those countries.
I hope.
Not yet.
To your calls in California.
Howard, you're holding you're holding on for a long time about something I said a while ago, aren't you, Howard?
Well, I was, and one thing that uh, you know, I wanted to say after listening uh to you change topics a little bit was that uh, you know, we we've all come to realize now that Barack Obama is not the person, not the president, and not the ideologue that he said he was going into the campaign.
And I think a single word sums up his Howard.
You meant he is the ideologue.
You meant he is the ideologue.
He is the ideologue, but the ideas behind that, what he put forth were the exact opposite of what his real intentions were.
And I think the word obfuscation is something that sums up his presidency, that he has a total refusal to tell the truth, and even more important, his lack of forthrightness about what his intents are, is what is really damaging.
I would be more respectful if instilled disagreement of his ideas, were he to be more forthright about what his ultimate goals are.
All right, Howard.
Howard, the night of the election.
My wife and I were watching it, and I'll never forget Barack Obama standing there in that park in Chicago.
And he talked about creating an America where every American could fulfill the American dream.
And I found it rather creepy because I wanted to know what his idea of the American dream was.
Precisely.
Precisely because his idea is not the same idea of yours and mine of the American dream, is it?
And if my idea is different than his, my idea is somehow subservient to his, and because he is some, as the Democrats seem to think that we are all mental weaklings and we should bow to their ultimate wisdom, for there's some magic piece of information that we aren't able to see that gives them clairvoyance and an ability to dictate how.
Well, it's not merely that.
It's not merely that, Howard.
Howard, they have this obsession with outcomes of everything.
But Michelle Obama is obsessed with the weight of children and whether they should be giv whether a child should be given a cookie.
She wants cookie police out there.
They're obsessed with the redistribution of wealth.
They're obsessed with Americans not thinking of themselves as as exceptional.
You've heard some of the college addresses this guy gives.
They are absolutely obsessed with the equal outcome of every single circumstance.
You're right.
And it's disgusting in the way that they pervert the logic to make it seem something quite the contrary.
But my original comment was about Abby Sunderland, the uh sixteen-year-old girl that uh was rescued in the Southern Ocean.
And I don't have so much a problem as a former professional sailor uh of young kids going out into the ocean, should they be mature, and she was a very good sailor, is a very good sailor, and a very well-equipped boat and and fundamental.
Yes, yes, yes, get to it.
The original problem is that it's a competition to be the youngest.
This is the problem, you see.
This is the this is the whole problem.
There's a nihilistic uh uh idea here to compete, and you put your children at danger.
I mean, in in the world I live in, child protective services would want to know what you're doing with a sixteen-year-old by pushing her little canoe out into the sunset in the Pacific.
Going to sea, but look at the Jessica Watson, who's now the Australian girl who's famous and rich.
The whole problem is that we are looking at people like that, and there's this competition, and you wonder we're glorifying it.
We're glorifying it, and it's absolutely disgusting.
And what it's gonna do, it's gonna ruin the people who legitimately deserve to be going offshore and competing and doing things that have Years and years of experience who likely wouldn't have been screaming mommy from the Southern Ocean, but would have cut their rig away and put a jury rig up and tried to sail the shore.
Instead, all the people have to risk their lives to go out and save these people for their ego statistical pursuits.
Thanks for your time, Doc Average.
Yes, you had enough of it, Howard, by the way.
Thank you for calling the Rush Limbaugh show.
Doug Abansky filling in for Rush.
We'll be right back.
Douglas Chabanski filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
It's been a great pleasure.
It's been more than that.
It's been an incredible honor to sit here and visit with you today.
We're talking about Tea Party anger.
God forbid the New York Times criticized unions, however, for their anger.
I mean, really, the seething anger of the Tea Party.
I haven't seen any seething anger.
Nothing wrong with being angry, by the way.
The one thing the Tea Party is a not is violent.
You've not seen that yet.
You have a federal government that is fleecing us through its confiscation.
You have a status quo that needs to be changed.
And yet you have Obama who does not represent change.
He represents a type of hideous economic repression through big government.
That is simple for anyone to see.
All you have to do is open your eyes.
All you have to do is open your eyes.
The Tea Party, folks, if they're angry, they're angry about the very thing that America's founders had warned us about.
They attempted to write the Constitution to prevent this sort of thing.
They're angry about excessive concentrations of power.
And through the excessive concentration of power, something has gone terribly and unpredictably wrong.
Whether it's concentrations of power intended to make everyone a homeowner, it results in financial meltdown of Wall Street, then it threatens the whole financial security of everything.
They're concerned about the concentration of power that results in a national security state that listens to your phone calls, engages in wars overseas, the bizarre continuation of Iraq Obama's Afghan war.
The list goes on.
The Tea Party folks are angry about uh power tending to corrupt people, and absolute powers it is said corrupting absolutely.
It's not a Democrat versus Republican thing.
It is an American thing.
An America at the crossroads thing, and America is, can I say it?
America's in serious trouble.
The instincts of the Tea Party folks are exactly correct.
Exactly correct.
So then rather than the spontaneous instincts of people who should be criticized, they may be, in fact, the last hope.
They may be the last chance.
There's a great interest out there.
The majority of the people of America want to save the Republic.
And you are right.
It is, it is, in a sense, a populist uprising, sure.
Like all populist uprisings, it's going to lack focus.
It's going to lack specific programs.
It's going to lack really dazzling leader at the start.
But their concerns are the same concerns as the founders.
They have the signs that we the f founders were aware of the signs that we should all be concerned about the concentration of power, the excess of power, the power of government.
They knew it.
They knew it.
The Tea Party folks are going to find a voice in wise leaders eventually.
And their natural home, of course, is in the Republican Party.
That is the natural home.
It is always asked how this man from South Carolina, was he a plant?
Well, we ask what sort of Republicans have gotten in the party.
What sort of conservatives?
We ask the question, we see the answers.
Excessive power in the central government.
Look, if this isn't corrected, then the United States, which I believe is man's best hope, stands the great risk of coming to an end.
And of course, what would the world be like?
Ask yourself the question without an America in it.
President Obama surrounding himself with party hacks, lobbyists, special interests always behind closed doors, these czars focused on dubious health care legislation, huge stuff, I'm sure Rush will talk about when he gets back about the reality behind health care.
He thought it was more important to pass all sorts of legacy legislation Than to really know what the American people wanted.
That's our Barack Obama.
Let's finish up with some calls.
Let's go to Chicago.
Cindy, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Oh, hi.
Oh, hi.
Well, now they've been talking about Tea Party, I I'm gonna go back to what you were talking about.
And uh I I just know that Al Gore is probably just thrilled about this, because uh tomorrow the president is going to talk about his green energy, which is gonna be, of course, uh Cap and Trade.
And uh what worries me about so many so many Americans that vote is that, you know, somebody's articulate and you know, the teleprompter, the whole thing, they believe everything there's they say.
Um things.
Yes.
One, we're gonna save money, and two, we're gonna create jobs.
Well, save money, we're not gonna save money.
Because as you as you were talking about way, way earlier.
If you do an exercise and just in whatever room you're sitting, check off everything in the room that you're sitting that comes from petroleum product.
I mean, well, how how about this exercise, Cindy?
How about this exercise?
Pardon?
How about this exercise?
Ask yourself which city, state, county, government that isn't broke, isn't run by Democrats.
