Time Text
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity.
How?
Simply by being here.
Talent on loan from God.
You have to say God.
More impact.
Talent on loan from God.
We're great to have you here, the uh phone number, and we'll get to your calls El Quico, a little Spanish lingo 800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Let's go back in time.
This is Obama.
Uh ten years ago.
Well, nine years ago, 2001 on a Chicago FM radio station, WBEZ, and the host Gretchen Helfrick was interviewing then State Senator Barack Obama.
And among uh other things in a long answer, he said this.
As radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical.
It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf.
And that hasn't shifted.
And one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused.
Uh I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change.
And uh in some ways we still suffer from that.
There it is.
That's Barack Obama.
It's all there.
Um it's uh it's uh that's uh negative.
Uh Charter of Negative Liberties says what the states can't do to you.
Uh it doesn't break free from the essential constraints placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution.
Yep, there were purposeful constraints on the government, not on the people.
Obama wants power for the government constraints on the people.
And I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change.
And in some ways, we still suffer because the Warren Court didn't do anything about community organizing.
It's all that here we have in in 54 seconds.
We have the essence of Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-hmm.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I've got to talk about this iPhone business.
There's some incredible stuff going on being said about the iPhone 4.
Now, I have I have seen four iPhone 4s.
They are amazing devices.
It was kind of interesting.
When Apple was a uh number two and not a big threat to anybody, they were treated as a boutique little company, and whatever their successes and shortcomings uh shortcomings might have been, they were just sort of laughed at by the big wizards at Microsoft and Hewlett Packard Dell, and you name it.
But now Apple is second only in market cap to Microsoft.
It's surpassed Microsoft, I think, at least until the recent market plunge.
Past Microsoft.
They own the smartphone market right now.
I mean, the the competing phones, the Android phones from Google and so forth.
And if you like yours, that's fine and dandy.
I'm not proselytizing here.
But I just I find it amazing because I, in a way, I kind of relate they can't, they can't rip Apple successfully for what they do.
So they try to rip the credibility of the product, in this case the iPhone 4.
And there is a reception problem that is common to many cell phones.
It's common to a Nokia phone, for example.
Uh you put your hand on the phone, and you might negatively impact the antenna that receives The cell signal.
And so your bars might decrease, or you might lose signal string.
You might lose a call.
You might drop a call.
And apparently, if you listen to uh, or if you read all the Apple blogs, this is happening to a lot of people who've purchased the iPhone 4.
It's happened so much that a law firm is setting out to establish a class action lawsuit against Apple over this loss of signal.
Tell you how absurd this is.
When you buy the phone, you've got two weeks to 30 days to take it back and get your money back if it doesn't work or if you don't like it.
You're not stuck with it.
You've got some time.
They're filing trying to get this class action lawsuit going before that contract period to take the phone back has expired.
Which is immediately suspect.
Now, I've I've seen four of these phones.
I have yet to be able to duplicate this problem.
I am not denying it happens to people.
I've some of these websites are showing video where people pick up the iPhone.
It's called a death grip.
You pick it up, and if you hold it in your left hand, and you cover the left hand corner, then you lose your signal.
I've tried to duplicate it.
I've tried to duplicate it in the car.
I've duplicated, tried to duplicate it here at the uh EIB Southern Command at home in Minneapolis.
Wherever I've been since I've got the I can't duplicate it.
I do not lose signal.
Now, admittedly, I don't make a lot of phone calls because I don't like the phone.
There's always somebody on the other end of it.
And they generally want something.
So I email and text and so forth.
But this this iPhone has a new video calling feature called FaceTime.
It's got two cameras, and you can actually talk to somebody while they see you and you see them.
Just hold the phone in front of your face.
Like the original picture phone was supposed to be that I famously test marketed for Bell telephone in Pittsburgh back in 1972.
And it's amazing.
It works.
It works over Wi-Fi.
It's not even a cellular call.
You don't get charged cell minutes for it.
You initiate the call over a cell network, but it transfers to Wi-Fi.
It'll only work over Wi-Fi.
So I look at all of these lawsuits, this class action lawsuit against this.
Now there's a story here.
San Jose Mercury News more glitches found in new iPhone.
Apple's new iPhone 4 already criticized for problems with its antenna and screen, also suffers from glitches in its camera system that can undermine the video chat program that is one of the standout features of the new phone.
iPhone 4 owners first started reporting troubles with the device's camera system on Wednesday, the day some users who had pre-ordered the gadget received it.
On the discussion boards on Apple's website and in comments on various blogs, users have complained that the phone's camera application locks up soon after launch, leaving them unable to take a picture.
I've yet to encounter any of these problems.
I'm not denying they exist, but to say that they are in every phone that there's a giant glitch worthy of a class action lawsuit.
Now Snertly said, Why do you care about Apple?
They don't like you.
It's not the I don't care about Apple.
I love the product.
You know, I'm sort of an evangel for this thing.
I use Macs everywhere here in our office.
And I am especially sensitive to uh efforts to uh destroy the credibility of somebody when they can't destroy the substance of somebody.
I mean, that's been happening to me for 21 years.
Nobody ever argues my ideas.
They just say, oh, he's fat.
Or, gee, says extreme things, or he's mean or what it is.
But nobody ever argues with my ideas about things.
And now with this phone, it's clear that Apple has got the state-of-the-art product out there and the attacks are on.
And they can deal with it.
I mean, they don't need me speaking up for it.
I'm just, I just I look at all this class action lawsuit over signal loss within the first 30 days of the launch.
I'm reading there might be a software update to fix this, if it's a software problem.
Uh whatever, I believe they'll get it fixed if it is a problem.
But and maybe I'm not bragging when I tell you I don't, I'm not experiencing any of these problems.
I have a couple of friends who say they are.
But I haven't experienced it.
Uh no, Dawn saying mine were specially tested by the president.
No, no, no, they weren't.
You know, I might my phone's uh randomly selected from the production line, just like anybody else's were.
But look at if if if if if the problem happened, I would want to get it fixed.
Uh but the effort to go out and try to make Apple out to be some sort of rotten bad guy is just typical of what happens when you become the best.
They just go after you.
Even some of your own fanboys will go after you.
So anyway, they're still lined up.
A and T is AT.
Oh, I'm sure the bloggers let's say I snurdly, I I don't care the bloggers take me on over this.
The primary reaction to the bloggers of me, if Limbo has an iPhone, I'm certainly getting rid of mine.
That's what they'll say.
But uh I just I the whole notion of a of a of a lawsuit over signal law when every phone.
Now, Steve Jobs, he didn't help matters.
He said, Don't hold a phone that way.
There was a purportedly apple issued a statement of don't hold the phone that way.
You're holding the phone wrong.
Well, I'm sorry, there's no way you could if you hold the phone in your left hand, there's no way you can't hold the phone that way and make a phone call.
Then they then somebody else's jobs issued a second statement saying, there is no reception problem, stand by.
And people are standing by thinking they think that maybe this is a fix uh coming for the thing.
Just imagine if the United Auto workers made the iPhone.
Just imagine if Obama took over the company and his bureaucrats decided they were gonna make the iPhone.
Uh all right, here's here's my brother.
I'm not looking for you to say this on the air.
Right?
Well, then why did you say it to me, Dave?
Uh mine does drop the connection when I hold it a certain way.
It's happened when I've had to hold it up to my ear with my shoulder when I need to free my hands.
It's happened about five times yesterday.
Well, this is the first I've heard of that.
How in the world can you hold this thing with your shoulder when you can't hold it in your hand?
Okay, so there my own brother writes to contradict me.
Uh yeah, you can you can you can put in.
No, oh, oh, that's Snerdley says, oh, they have earpieces.
This is another thing that's irritated people.
One of the fixes, of course, go to the Apple store and buy a $29 essentially rubber band colored case that will insulate your hand from touching the stainless steel antenna, which is the border of the phone.
And I heard that I would no more put a pink or pastel blue rubber band on this phone and destroy its looks uh than I would put Mickey Mouse ears on it.
But you can get a Bluetooth uh uh earplug there and use the Bluetooth wireless connection to use the phone.
Uh I just my brother lives in Cape Girardo, and I think a lot of people lose things in Cape Girardo, folks.
It's a small town.
It's one of the reasons I left.
I'm just kidding.
Of course, I'm uh I'm just kidding.
But I've never lost one of these FaceTime calls.
I have never lost a phone call.
I have never lost, I've I hold the phone constantly.
I've tried to try to duplicate this, and I can't make it happen.
Cannot make it happen.
More glitches found in the new iPhone.
High court to take up Arizona immigration law.
Supreme Court has agreed to referee the first round of a tug of war between state and federal governments over immigration.
2007 Arizona law penalizing employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers.
The case that the uh justices will hear in the term it starts in October offers a preview of the clash over Arizona's newly enacted criminal penalties for migrants, illegal illegally present in the state.
The regime asked the court to review the Arizona employment law and has indicated it will sue to block the enforcement of the state's current immigration law, which is uh scheduled to take effect on July 29th.
All right, a brief time out, folks, sit tight.
I was really only kidding about Cape Girardo being his wife.
I Really was, I mean, my heart's still there.
I was just really was just only kidding.
My brother lives so far out of town, I think the cell tower is probably 25 miles from his house, too.
Yeah, yeah.
The official program observer, Mr. Snerdley.
Just asked me, why is the antenna on the bottom of the phone?
If you hold the phone and you put it in the palm of your hand where the ball of your thumb in the left hand meant where you'd hold the phone, that's where the antenna is.
Actually, the whole border, all the antennas are there.
The GPS, uh, the Wi-Fi, the Bluetooth, the cell signal cellular data, all it's there, but the whole around the whole phone, but it's in the lower left-hand corner, apparently where the phone antenna is.
The reason is there's a federal regulation that the antenna has to be as far away from the head as possible because of the what?
Ongoing threat you might get brain cancer.
So Apple has said they've put the antenna where and by the this happens in a lot of other cell phones too.
Nokia.
In fact, Nokia, Nokia tried to get a little edge up on Apple.
I made a TV commercial poking fun at Apple, losing signal when you hold the phone a wrong way, and somebody said, Well, it happens to my Nokia, and they made a video showing it happening on a Nokia.
It happens to a lot of cell phones.
What fascinates me is I've had every iPhone there is, and every problem the whiners and complainers of our society have come up with.
I have yet to experience.
FCC rules require this antenna.
Well, I'd love I I don't use it as a phone, HR.
I said somebody's hates phones, you're really like that.
I don't use it as a phone.
It's a this thing is you know, I'm a gizmo guy, and it's it's it's revolutionary.
But I I just I've I've never even if I had the problem, I last thing I would do is join a class action lawsuit.
I'd either, okay, this doesn't work, and I'd go get something else, or I'd try to get this fixed or what have you, but the wine and moan, and have everybody act like this is the worst thing that ever happened to them in their lives.
What a bunch of whiners our society has become.
Oh, yeah, to the phones we go, Alicia.
Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Uh I'm honored, Rush.
Um, as I told Mr. Snerdley, I'm a little nervous.
So I'll try and be very coherent.
Uh we were told this president was the smartest president since ever.
Ever, that's what I was gonna say, ever.
And though we wouldn't know because they never released his school transcripts.
So he had to know the moratorium was gonna send the rigs away.
And I'm a retired manager.
I gotta tell you from the phone company, I don't know a first line manager who couldn't have done a better job coordinating the cleanup and the containment of the oil on the gulf.
This is the the question that keeps popping up, though.
And that is Jimmy, this guy's gotta be really, really stupid.
Well, he's got an ulterior motive.
I don't know what it is.
That's what I can't figure out.
That's that's the dilemma, because is he that stupid?
Is he so stupid to realize that a moratorium would destroy the Gulf oil business because the rigs would simply go somewhere else, or does he know exactly what he's doing?
Look at you have to side with the notion he knows exactly what he's doing.
If you listen to what he has said, he he's he's guaranteed to put the coal business out of business.
He says we can't rely on oil, we've got to go green.
We've had Rama Manuel say it's terrible that a crisis go to waste.
You've got a genuine ready-made crisis in this oil spill for a bunch of leftists who hate oil, who hate oil companies, who think oil is destroying the environment and the planet and everything else.
Here's a chance to shut it down, to blame them.
You know what gas prices go up a buck and a half.
You know what happens to big oil.
They start getting tarred and feathered.
Love, and this is made to order.
And Obama's been out there dutifully ripping in the BP.
They're gonna pay, and they're gonna keep paying.
And they keep it.
He shook shook them down for 20 billion dollars.
Uh the slush fund.
Well, that's the way the Gulf states to destroy the country.
I don't think Obama looks at it as destroying it.
I think he looks at it as fixing it.
See, in Obama's in Obama's view, the way he's been educated, the way he was raised.
The United States has been unfair.
It's been unfair because it's been too big.
It's not fair that we've been such a superpower.
It's not fair that we've had such a uh uh a robust uh standard of living.
It's not fair that we've had all of these technological and lifestyle enhancing uh improvements.
Uh it's it's just not fair whether the rest of the world is starving or still walking around in muck, uh living in huts like his brother does over in Kenya.
It just isn't fair.
Uh and it's it and the reason the United States is all of these big things is because we've cheated and lied and stolen from the real owners of the world's wealth all over the world, and it's his job to give it back, to redistribute, to cut this country down to size.
So he and Joe Biden out there saying, or Geitner out there saying, there's uh look, the the the days of the U.S. being the economic engine of the world are over.
Well, what what more do you need to know?
We've never had a president who has presided over the decline of a country, apparently happily so.
And we can't impeach him.
Well, uh any president can be impeached, but uh realistically, uh is there an impeachable offense is taking place?
Is there a violation of the oath?
Uh I don't even want to go there.
That's that's we want to solve this at the ballot box.
And we get started doing that in November.
And uh and the key to that being successful is just more and more people learning, figuring out, hopefully on their own, uh exactly the mistake that was made in November 2008.
Be right back, folks.
Sit tight.
Green onions.
Booker T, MG is a story from Reuters out of London by Kate Kellen, the health and science correspondent.
It might have been better for the environment to have done nothing about the enormous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, except to keep the oil out at sea, British scientists said yesterday.
Marine biology and environmental experts said they feared the aggressive cleanup operation during which oil has been set alight, i.e., a fire, and oil dispersing chemicals have been dumped into the sea might be more damaging than the oil itself.
Economically, clearly the impact has been very large, but environmentally the jury's still out.
One of the tensions between the environmentalists and the one and politics is that politicians can't be seen to be doing nothing, even though doing nothing is sometimes the best option.
Some 10,000 people were flown to deal with the Exxon Valdez spill.
Uh Boxolf said that scientists now wondered whether the cleanup town that grew up around it caused more environmental damage than the oil itself.
Boxall said it was important to remember that oil coming from the BP well.
As we pointed out in the early days of this, is a light crude that would break down and evaporate fairly quickly when it came to the surface.
He said there are three golden rules of oil spills.
The first is don't spill it in the first place.
The second is if you do spill it, try and pick it up as quickly and easily as possible.
The third is in the open ocean, the best thing to do is leave it alone.
Unfortunately, politically, that always looks like a cop-out.
Fascinating stuff.
To the phone, Steve Farmingdale, New York.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Well, thank you very much, Mr. Lombaugh for taking my car.
How are you today?
Very well, sir.
Thank you very much.
Well, it's just I'll be quick.
I wanted to weigh in on Kagan's confirmation, free pass.
It seems when I remember when Justice Thomas was being confirmed and Biden sat on that hearing, uh they grilled him.
He called it an electronic lynching, and and they brought up uh, I think that Adidas Hill with the uh pubic hair, his poor wife was sitting behind him.
What a humiliation.
It seems that everyone's afraid to ask some hard questions about National concerns about uh well, they alter family image, uh abortion, things like that.
It's just a free pass.
Uh uh, it really uh is discouraging.
Yeah, I know, and it points up uh a stark difference in the two parties.
Uh the Democrats want the judiciary to reshape America, to reshape life, and the judici to them, the judiciary is insurance against losing elections because judges are for life.
So even if you lose elections and you lose power in Washington, you still have the judiciary, which ultimately rules on legislation in many instances, and you know, other uh cultural and and basically legal things throughout society.
We, on the other hand, um we we we we don't look at controlling the government as an objective.
We want to depopulate it, we want to uh de-emphasize it and make it smaller.
In addition to that, and you're very perceptive about this.
We just don't have the stomach for it.
I mean, there is nobody on on our side of the aisle that's gonna go after Elena Kagan as she has been going after on blogs and on radio talk shows like this.
Well, people make mistakes, uh roll right, and uh, you know, we learn from them and that doesn't mean uh all those considerations in Harvard.
Uh doesn't mean that uh it's a free pass and it's not consideration uh to ask some hard questions.
That's all.
I mean, everybody else seems to get grilled.
Uh let's not just hand it to a lot of people.
Well, that looks basically.
I I'd like to know some things just as a concerned citizen.
It's not even agenda.
I agree.
All right.
You're not gonna learn them.
Because no matter what questions are asked, she has been coached to maintain a stone face and to say nothing.
Well well, that means she could fill in this uh negative uh rights with what she feels is right, and that's kind of scary.
Yeah, she's sitting there talking about she's an originalist.
I mean, she's she's totally misrepresenting who she is.
So basically what the what the Republicans would have to do is call her a liar, and Jeff Sessions, God bless Jeff Sessions.
He got as close to it as anybody on our side probably is going to get.
Yeah, it's not easy.
Well, it's not easy also because there's the boy girl aspect of this, too.
Well, uh, that's right.
Everyone's afraid, but it seems everyone can take shots at us.
Uh, I feel it's okay, especially in light of the importance of a lifetime of appointment.
There's look at there's there's no question that there's a double standard.
Well, well, maybe a greater good will come out of it.
Well, let's see what happens.
But I I also uh want to wish you uh congratulations on your marriage, too.
Thank you.
And you've been very kind.
And uh let's keep uh fighting.
You do great work.
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate that.
There there's uh there's another element to this too.
And our guys uh have said it on numerous occasions, or in Hatch.
Look, they won the election.
He gets to appoint judges.
They get who they want.
You might say that that's a mature way of looking at it.
They don't.
When they lose elections, it is a crime.
There has been some crime commit.
When they lose elections, I mean it is peddled to the middle, and they're gonna do everything they can to stop the Republicans from implementing any aspect of their victory, such as Supreme Court nominations and uh and the Swords.
Now, Hatch Hatch did a uh a good job this morning, and he was funny, he was lighthearted, but he nailed Elena Kagan and the Democrats on the lies that they have been telling about the citizens united case.
But he was respectful.
He was it was not the angry victory all that the Democrats used.
I mean, there's never gonna be on our side, somebody like Ted Kennedy who will send a nominee's wife running out of the hearing room in tears, which happened to Sam Alito's wife.
Now, some of you might be saying, well, that's too bad.
We need to send whoever Kagan's family is.
We need to send them running out of there in tears.
We need the world to find out just who this woman is.
We need to expose the fact that she doesn't dare be honest about who she is, because she would not stand a chance of being confirmed.
But there's a reason Obama chose her.
There's no way to find out what she is.
They're not gonna release the memos that are in the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.
They've already said so.
She's got a blank slate.
She's a Harvard Dean.
She cares deeply about minorities and civil rights and equalities.
All this pap.
This is a rubber stamp for Obama.
You know, Ted Kennedy.
Ted Kennedy's denunciation of Robert Bork, that happened within minutes of Reagan announcing it.
They didn't even wait for the hearings on Bork.
And Clarence Thomas, there was nothing there.
So finally, people have forgotten this.
Best evidence was that it was Paul Simon, the centers from Illinois, now deceased.
His wife was as big an activist on the left as anybody.
Apparently she's the one that coordinated this whole sexual harassment thing with uh with Anita Hill.
And the pubic hair and the Coke can and stuff.
And this is this is uh it's just the way that they they play for keeps.
They they look at the at the courts specifically, but but all government institutions, the bureaucracy, they're all about power for the government for themselves.
We are about power for individuals.
So there's a there's a there's a natural disconnect.
Look, uh look at the Harvard students that end up in government.
What are they?
They're trained and educated.
They become part of the old boys' club or Yale Skull and Bones, whatever it is.
They are trained and greased for a life in bureaucracy, diplomacy, government, with the focal point being that government is the center of the universe.
Our guys at Harvard, Yale, or whatever, they want to end up on Wall Street, or they want to end up at some hedge fund.
They want to end up someplace making money.
Some of them want to become lawyers.
The uh the liberal students want to become lawyers, end up doing stupid things like trying to get a class action suit against Apple for a phone that supposedly doesn't hold its signal, even before the 30-day return the phone policy days have expired.
Uh anyway, it is what it is out there, folks.
Uh it's dare I say, this is probably not going to please you, but it's uh it's also a matter of we're the nice guys and they're the bad guys.
It really is no more complicated than that.
We don't uh okay, wusses, snerdily, we're the wusses, they're the bad guys.
Uh I don't look at myself as a wuss.
Are you calling me a wuss?
All right, damn straight.
Now you better not be calling me a wuss.
All right.
They say nice guys finish last.
Uh you know, that's that's something that Vince Lombardi, I don't think ever really said.
I think that that's attributed to Vince Lombardi, but I don't think he ever said it.
There's a lot of I'm the exception of nice guys finishing last.
Uh and the exception to uh to a lot of things.
But we're the nice guys.
We're just looking, folks, I don't want to get in the psychology of this.
We've been doing this for 20 years.
A lot of it is simply our guys want to be loved and respected by the media.
Uh so they do whatever has to be done.
What is this?
Moscow angrily rejected U.S. accusations today that Washington had cracked an undercover Russian spy ring and said the Cold War style cloak and dagger saga seemed time to wreck a recent thaw in relations.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said U.S. police had gone out of control after ten suspected spies were arrested in the U.S. in the biggest espionage case for years.
U.S. police out of control.
Well, he would know.
He would know if police are out of control.
He was the KGB.
And don't forget, they may call it the BBD or the BFR to BFF.
It's still a KGB, and no one, no one ever leaves the KGB.
Listen to just five minutes, five minutes of this program this week to understand this point.
You need all the voices you can get in Washington.
It's not enough to rely on elected officials representing your state.
One look at the Supreme Court decision yesterday or the Kagan hearings going on today, or the Bruhaha between Arizona and the White House tells you that you need a voice, a conservative voice in Washington, and you've got one.
That would be the Heritage Foundation.
Because I'm not in Washington.
I know many of you think that I am your voice in what, but I'm not.
I sneak in and out of there.
The Heritage Foundation has planted the flag there.
Intellectually, you can tell yourself all day long that even if you're not a member of Heritage, that they're working on your behalf.
But imagine if you did become a member, and everybody in this audience became one too.
Well, then you and everybody else would be contributing to an even stronger conservative voice in our Capitol at a time it's needed most.
That was 5-4 yesterday.
On the second amendment case, five to four.
It should have been if we had justices following the U.S. Constitution.
The Second Amendment was voted on yesterday.
And it barely passed.
Nine to four.
Heritage Foundation.
It's just $25.
The access that you will have to some of the brilliance.
I mean, it's a think tank.
They sit in there and they think.
Have you ever done that?
You ever sit down and just think?
I mean, a lot of you think you're thinking.
Thoughts and so forth.
Sit down and think.
You know, write down what you think.
Make it scholarly and so forth.
That's what they do.
And you, as a member at AskHeritage.org, have access to it.
There are people who pay far more than that for it.
Empower yourself with your own membership to the Heritage Foundation.
Here's Rick in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hi, Russ.
How are you today?
Very good.
Thanks much.
Congratulations on your uh wedding.
Appreciate that.
Yes, sir.
Uh, I'm a manager of a company uh that works on the Marcellus Shell in southwestern Pennsylvania.
It's a natural gas shell.
And for some reason, uh, one of our senators uh is working very hard.
They're trying to shut down the oil, the gas field.
Uh nobody can understand why there's been uh Wait, a United United States Senator State Senator.
A state senator, a Casey.
Oh, that's a U.S. Senator.
Bob Casey's trying to shove down the oil again.
Why?
Why?
Uh the gas fields, we don't I we have no idea.
The uh this is potentially from the studies that have been done out here.
There's levels below the Marsellas.
We may have more natural gas than the oil in the Middle East.
Yeah.
Well, you want to you want to know why?
Well, they're trying to tax everything out here, and I don't know if that's a backdoor way of trying to bend the gas companies onto their will.
I don't know.
Uh well, maybe that could be part of it, you know, wait to bring it out until they can raise taxes on it, carbon tax, that's sort of possible.
But what what political party, Bob Casey in?
He may not know from day to day, but you might what?
What political party is he in?
I believe it's in the Communist Party.
The Democrat Party.
Democrat Party, right.
Okay, so the Democrat Party, and you you know as well as I do that the Democrat Party is has got.
I mean, they painted a bullseye on the conventional fossil fuel industry.
Gas, oil, all the derivatives.
They painted a bullseye on it.
Uh their president wants to get rid of all that, put the coal business out of business.
Their president wants to come up with uh green technology.
What their president wants to do is preside over the decline of the United States of America.
And this, you know, oil is the fuel of the engine of freedom.
There's no other way to look at it.
And that's why the free flow of oil at market prices is crucial to the growth and expansion of not only our economy, but of our liberty.
And we have elected a regime that looks at oil and gas and the whole fossil fuel industry as an enemy.
Okay, looked it up.
This uh I have more details tomorrow, but it's a Bob Casey Chuck U. Schumer bill that was introduced back uh earlier this month, and it's about protecting groundwater from being contaminated uh by hydraulic fracturing.
Uh that's the guise under which they are halting uh gas and oil production in western Pennsylvania.
I'll give you all the details tomorrow.
In the meantime, have a wonderful rest of the day and evening, and see you 21 hours.
