Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 Podcast.
You remember that famous uh New York Daily News headline.
Headless Body Found in Topless Bar.
That headline is the standard for creative headline.
Headless body found in topless bar.
I have found a headline that puts that one to shame.
And it's from uh Fox News website in Dallas.
Finger in Butt Crack Sparks Knife Fight.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's Rush Limbaugh, and welcome to Obamaville, the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882.
Email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Summer of Recovery continues.
Uncertainty about the economy continue to shake consumer confidence in July, pushing a key measure of morale to the lowest level since February.
This is exactly what Obama wants.
How many of you in the tank?
How many of you down on the dumps over the future of the country?
Not just your own, but the future of the country.
How many of you are sitting there thinking about the innocent summers of the past?
I do that sometimes.
Go back to the summers of my youth, late 60s, early 70s, first job in radio.
It was idyllic playing uh high school football at two days in August.
Well, wasn't crazy about that, but still.
I look back on all the innocence and all the good times.
We fast forward to today.
How many of you do the same thing?
It just everybody's in a funk.
And not just about their own personal circumstances and that of the kids.
Grandkids, it's the fate of the country.
We need to face it.
We we're we're in a depression here, either psychologically or economically.
Maybe a recession economically, but regardless.
Uh it's not going to change for the better anytime soon.
It's only going to get worse as long as these people are in power and they revel in this.
This is exactly the kind of attitude they want.
I urge you to fight this and seek out the ways and means in your life that you can be happy.
Somebody said, What's the one thing you could change?
If you could change one thing in America right now, what would it be?
And something instantly popped into my mind.
And I thought maybe I should think about this a little more before answering the question, but something instantly popped into my mind.
It was if I could change one thing, it would be to change the fact that so many people born in this country hate it.
If we could change that, we would eliminate 90% of the problems politically that we have.
You realize that the political arguments that we're having in this country are not just between two competing ideologies.
They're between people who love the United States of America and people who don't.
You might even go further and say it's not just people who don't love the country, it's people who have an active hate for it.
You can see it in the media.
You can see it in all the fake media journalists at uh journalists, you can see it in the Democrat Party.
You can see it in every one of the Democrat Party constituency groups.
The unions, the African Americans, African Americans and NAALCP, the Hispanics, whatever subset of the Democrat Party you look at, there's anger and misery.
There's no love for anybody or anything.
On our side, we have a professed and deep love for the country is founded and our families, and we want everybody to feel the same way.
We want everybody to look at this country as the greatest on earth that has provided more opportunities for human beings than any other nation in history.
Some people have doubted uh Obama's patriotism.
I don't I don't get into that.
Uh you know, I that's not it's clear that Obama has a different view of this country than the vast majority of the American people.
It's clear that the people who support Obama have a vastly different view of this country, it's past, it's present and its Future than the vast majority of the people of the country who are being ruled and governed by a minority of people who have an active, ongoing and increasing dislike for this country.
And they have a pure hatred for the people who do like it and who love it.
It's not just this disagreement.
They have an active hatred for those of us who do love the country.
Dennis Prager has a pretty good piece on this at National Review Online today.
Tries to answer why do they hate?
We've struggled with this ourselves over the course of 21 years.
We always try to figure out the motivations.
For those who disagree with us, sometimes you figure the motivation is not important.
Because you gotta you gotta deal with the reality, but they do hate.
They have an active vitriolic hate.
They are never happy.
So I'm just thinking, if if if I could just wave a magic wand, change one thing, it would be that everybody born here loves the country.
You realize how much that would change things.
Overnight.
And it boils down the fact that it is a matter of love.
The fact there isn't any on the left.
There's only anger, victory, oil, hate, outrage, what have you, at people they don't even know.
At the traditions and institutions of the of the country.
Well, I mean, okay, if if it's too much to ask that they love the country, maybe appreciate it, the two go hand in hand.
They're not going to appreciate it.
They're out to destroy it, as it was founded, and that's what so many of us really have trouble getting our arms around.
The active desire to destroy the country.
This WikiLeaks business.
Look at this.
This is from an ebullient, ebullient AP, huge leak of secret files, so's new Afghan war doubts.
Yeah, exactly.
The purpose.
The leak of 90,000 secret military files has emboldened critics of the war in Afghanistan, who raised fresh questions Tuesday about the viability of the increasingly unpopular U.S. led campaign.
As if that wasn't the idea in the first place.
And this little willow of a wisp who runs the WikiLeaks guy outfit, working in conjunction with the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and the UK Guardian, and Gibbs, the White House press secretary yesterday, yeah, yeah, we knew.
We sent a message through the New York Times asking these guys to be careful, but we didn't try to shut it down.
They sent a message through the New York Times.
You think back, a meaningless, phony, made-up story about the leak of a name Valerie Plaint.
Look at the anxiety and the angst, the controversy, the outrage that caused.
Here, there's practical celebration.
The irony is this is the war the Democrats wanted.
Throughout the Iraq War, they all said Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan.
You gotta go to Afghanistan.
That's where you go to go find bin Laden.
They wanted this war.
This is the Democrats' war.
They want out of it.
That's why these leaks.
The League of 90,000 Secret Military Files has emboldened critics of the war.
Who are they?
Who are the critics?
The New York Times.
Their Spiegel.
Democrats and liberals everywhere, it's their war.
And that's the whole point.
In Berlin, a defense ministry spokesman said releasing the documents could affect the national security of NATO allies and the whole NATO mission.
Again, that is precisely the intention behind the leak.
Certainly one of the major results of this leak is that it will disparage any other country in the world or any groups in the immediate area from ever cooperating with the United States because once it's found out you're helping us, you become the enemy as well.
And then when it's found out that we'll cut and run, why would you join us in the first place?
Which is the purpose?
So we have let, well, wrong way to put it.
Mother Jones, was that the magazine took down McCrystal?
Or was it rolling?
Rolling Stone, Rolling Stone, a rock and roll, long haired maggot infested dope smoking magazine, gets rid of McCrystal.
And now we've got this willow of a wisp, Julian Afonge, and some stupidly named website WikiLeaks.
Why does somebody name a name Wiki?
What is Wiki in Wikipedia?
What does it mean?
I look at this thing, and I must admit, I get curious why and how people name things.
WikiLeaks, at any rate.
Now we're gonna we're gonna pull out of uh Afghanistan.
That's the whole purpose here.
It's gonna discourage any other country in the world or other groups in the immediate area from helping us.
Since no one will ever be sure that their cooperation won't appear on the front page of the New York Times at any given moment.
Ask yourself how after this, how any Muslim tribes are going to risk such exposure to sign up with us to fight the Muslim Taliban, which is exactly what the New York Times and the America haters at WikiLeaks want.
For whatever purpose.
In the meantime, we go to Dallas.
Finger in butt crack sparks knife fight.
A Dallas woman touched her friend's buttocks, sparking an assault and attempted suicide or stabbing, I should say, according to cops.
The alleged incident happened at an apartment in the southern section of the city.
According to a police report, the unnamed suspect rubbed a finger along the victim's butt crack, prompting her to clinch her buttocks.
The victim claimed a clinching caused the bed she was sitting on a break, angering the suspect.
That happens all the time to me, doesn't it?
You clinch your butt and a bed cracks.
Or uh a bed uh bed uh bed breaks.
Happens is that happened to you, Snerdley.
You know, the kids have a name for this called credit carding.
The kids actually have a name for it called credit carding.
So a fight ensued in which the suspect repeatedly hit the victim before grabbing a butcher knife and threatening to kill her.
According to the report, the suspect said, Are you ready to die?
All because of a finger in a butt uh crack.
Sparked a knife fight.
And no doubt every player in the story voted Obama.
No doubt.
Can there be any doubt about that?
We'll be back after the No, and then I know what Wiki means.
It means a cooperative website.
You can change things on your own.
Like Wikipedia.
You can make up your own facts.
You can make up your own leaks.
You can add whatever you want.
That's what a wiki uh website is.
Greetings, Ben, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity.
Here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
My friends, I continue to live rent-free.
In the heads of many Democrats last night in Washington, on the House floor, Representative Hank Johnson, Democrat Georgia spoke.
Within the last 17 months, the leader of the Republican Party said that he hopes that President Obama fails.
And that is my good friend Rush Limbaugh, who for every day, five days a week, since that same message out to Americans who are hooked on that show.
He sends it out to them relentlessly, and they remember it and they act on it.
But they're not the only ones who have acted on it.
It's been the followers in the Senate who have acted upon it.
And it's been the followers here in the House who have followed his leadership.
And they have embarked upon this strategy of obstruction.
Now, this uh what is this?
This June, July 26th, when this happens.
Hank Johnson, who I've never met, uh calls me his good friend, goes to the floor in the house to talk about I hope he fails.
Uh the obviously he has.
Well, depends on your perspective.
He's succeeded.
I mean, his objectives are being accomplished.
Uh, and so actually He has not failed.
But these people cannot get this out of their system.
You know what prompts this?
You think this is accidental?
This Hank Johnson guy goes to the floor of the house, starts railing against me on I Hope He Fails.
That dates back to January of 2009.
Over a year and a half ago.
Now, why are they doing this?
Why they can do because they need to obfuscate.
They need to get in the way.
They need to distract people away from the fact that Obama is failing.
He certainly is.
And it's it's uh plus Obama's trying to get his numbers up.
Obama's either gonna go on the view.
He's going to tape an appearance on the view, even fast Eddie.
Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania.
No, no, no, don't go on that show.
I mean, that's like going on Jerry Springer.
A lot of Democrats say this is not dignified.
You're not dignifying the office of the pre office of the president.
The dirty little secret is that for every day Obama's in that office, he denigrates it.
He becomes less and less presidential with each passing day.
And so now he's gonna go on his gab fest.
I followed through, by the way, sent some knee pads to Maud Behar, uh FedEx, she ought to get them today in advance of the taping of the show tomorrow.
Back to this program, back to the archives May 3rd.
On this program, this is what I said.
The oil spill will break up.
I'm not trying to minimize it here.
But ecology does take care of itself.
The uh the planet does.
While the panic?
Oh, a crisis.
Well, it's gonna break up.
It's not gonna be a giant glob when it hits, but it's gonna pose problems.
I'm not gonna say it's not gonna pose problems, but he's saying that as it breaks up, it will break down.
You know, seawater is pretty tough stuff.
Try living in it for a while.
Oil has a tough time surviving.
This many gallons of oil seep from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico every day, just spread out over the whole floor of the Gulf, and it never surfaces because it gets eaten alive.
But it seeps from the ocean floor to at this amount, not as concentrated, obviously as coming from this well.
They can't find the oil.
ABC News, BP oil spill, cleanup crews can't find crude in the Gulf.
As the size of the slick shrinks, experts say the oil's breaking up.
It's staying below the surface.
Once again, I L. Rushbo was right.
You remember how hated I was when I made this statement on May 10th or May 3rd.
How I made that I was unsere and sincere and I was unfeeling, and I had no compassion.
Oh yeah, it's just gonna break up.
Now all of a sudden I am being validated for 86 days.
Oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from the well.
The federal government and BP have amassed an army to clean the well up, but there's just one problem.
They're having trouble finding the oil.
At its peak last month, the oil slick was the size of Kansas.
But it's been rapidly shrinking now down to the size of New Hampshire.
And it's not even that big.
The amount of oil, if if if if the Gulf of Mexico is, let's say the Superdome.
You fill the superdome with water.
The amount of oil in the superdome is equal to a 24-ounce can of beer.
It's infinitesimal.
And it is being dissipated.
That everything I said here is true.
Oil seeps from the seafloor all over the earth into the ocean every day.
It never surfaces.
It gets eaten alive.
It gets broken down.
In fact, at the end of this piece, uh, there's somebody, ABCP's, yeah, it's just Mother Nature doing her job, said Ed Overton, professor of environmental studies at Louisiana State University.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Mother Nature doing her job.
Who's Mother Nature?
Mother Nature doing her job.
Why doesn't anybody ever say, yeah, Mother Nature's gonna take care of this global warming stuff?
Mother Mother Nature's being defeated by human beings in global warming, but all of a sudden they can't find the oil, and Mother Nature's doing just fine.
Just fine.
You know, even when Obama goes on the view, I mean, this is a sad reality.
He's gonna be the least experienced and the least qualified guy in that room.
He's gonna be the least talented person in that room when he goes on the view, and that is saying something.
We had the story last week about they can't find oil.
They're out there looking for it, and they're eagle eyeing it, and they can't find The oil.
And the reason they can't find it now is because Mother Nature is taking care of it.
Mother Nature is doing her job.
I didn't say that we should not do anything.
I never said that it wasn't a big deal.
That's what the media reported, however, ignoring all context.
But they're not going to be able to find it all.
Now they're resorting, well, yes, they're plumes of oil underneath the seafloor.
We can't uh we can't actually see it.
Here's a montage, number 13.
It may sound too good to be true.
Much of the oil that gushed into the Gulf for months now seems to have disappeared.
Where is all the oil?
On day 98, much of the spill is actually hard to see.
According to experts, much of it was reabsorbed into the environment.
Mother Nature is doing what she's supposed to do, and we're losing most of it to microbial degradation in the ocean.
Where is the oil?
What does this mean?
Is this good news that it's all dissipating?
Anderson Cooper 210 there.
What is this?
Is this good news?
They can't find it.
Where's the oil?
You were on the cutting edge.
You knew this was going to happen months ago.
Okay, so they can't find the oil.
They're out there looking for the oil.
They can't find the oil.
They're opening, they are reopening areas of the Gulf to fishing.
They aren't gonna need 20 billion dollars to pay people back for damages, and yet they've swindled BP out of 20 billion dollars.
The CEO, the ex-CEO, Tony Hayward, who's actually been sent to Siberia, I mean literally been sent to Siberia.
A BP Russian oil project in may as well be Siberia.
Said early on, the ecological damage is going to be minimal here.
He's dead right.
And you pay a penalty in this country for being dead right.
You are hated, and you are despised, and you become a target.
So now BP has been swindled, shaken down for 20 billion dollars for no reason.
There was no major destructive crisis.
The earth, Mother Nature, and to me, by the way, when you say Mother Nature's taking care of who's Mother Nature?
Mother Nature, listen to the left.
Listen me on the left.
Mother Nature, you know who it is?
God.
You spell it G-O-D.
Mother Nature is God.
Mother Nature is not a tree trunk.
Mother Nature is not some forest somewhere in the Amazon.
Mother Nature is the God of the Bible, the God of creation.
And the God of creation taking care of all this.
Despite our folly.
But if you don't have any concept of love, you'll never be able to understand anything of importance that happens on this planet, either between people or the interactions of things in nature, of which we are as much a part of nature as anything else is.
Now, Obama is in the Oval Office, or is outside the Oval Office, or is whatever, Rose Garden or wherever, making a statement supporting small business.
We've got to get money into the hands of small business.
But we're not going to cut their taxes.
No, we're going to find a way to lend them money that they don't want to borrow.
We're going to get capital.
We've got to get money.
We've got to support small business.
Everybody agrees that we've got to do this.
He's doing a great Saul Alinsky, even as he speaks, because while he talks about elevating and supporting small business and urging members of Congress to put partisan politics aside to support whatever his next destructive program is, the simple fact of the matter is that if you own a small business, you are in for it come January.
Let me give you the details.
The Obama administration and congressional Democrats have said that they want to raise taxes on the top two income tax rates starting in January.
Under their plan, you know what it is.
The 33% rate will rise to 36%.
The 35% rate will go up to 39.6% automatically in January.
These rates affect families and small business owners earning at least $200,000 a year.
Because small business owners file their taxes, if they're sub-S, they file on their personal tax return.
Business profits in small business flow through to the business owner.
The business owner pays taxes on his or her small business by adding the profits to his or her income tax rates.
on the income tax form.
Therefore, personal income taxes are the same thing as small business taxes.
A subchapter S, if I can explain this in great detail.
If you file, if you're a subchapter S corporation, which the vast majority of small businesses are, you file your tax return every year on your personal tax return, not a corporate tax return, but your personal tax return.
And whatever profit that you have made, which is what you pay yourself, is taxed at personal rates, not corporate rates.
So you, as a small businessman, if you have an income, 200 grand or more, you're facing a 40% federal tax rate, an increase.
Right now you're paying 35%.
All the while this guy's sitting there talking about trying to help you.
They gotta get capital in their hands.
He said, We gotta get money that they can lend and they're gonna expand, and that's how jobs are created.
No, it's not.
You wouldn't know the first thing about creating jobs.
Obama on Good Morning America yesterday was asked a stupid question.
Do you feel the pain?
Obviously a Clinton supporter, this reporterette, asked uh Obama, do you feel the pain the American people are going to Obama said, yeah, you know, our retirement counts uh it's taken a hit.
Well, we uh we're we're we're we've we're not immune here.
We've taken a hit too.
Yeah.
His wife has just booked 30 hotel rooms for four days at a five-star hotel in Spain.
They're gonna take four vacations inside of a month.
But Obama feels our pain.
He's not paying a dime for 30 hotel rooms.
This is for Michelle My Bell and one of their daughters.
And they're leaving on Obama's birthday.
And he's not going.
So the family's skipping out on the president on the day celebrating his birth.
They're going over to Spain.
And they're gonna stay in some place that's a reputed to be the nicest hotel in Spain, five stars.
They have reserved 30 rooms.
These people fly their dog in on a separate airplane on vacation.
Oh, yeah, and they feel they take it some hits too.
So here's the damster outside the White House.
We gotta get money into the hands of small businesses.
Why?
So I can take it back starting in January.
According to the IRS, most small business profits pay taxes in households making more than 200,000 dollars a year.
The IRS keeps track of two types of small business income sole proprietors and pass-through entities like partnerships and subchapter S corporations.
There were 30 million tax returns reporting small business income in 2008.
On the net, that's profits minus losses.
These owners reported business profits of 981 billion dollars.
A large chunk of this net profit, 488 billion, faced taxation in households making more than 200 grand per year.
So a majority of small business profits will face a tax rate increase under the Obama Pelosi Reed tax plan starting January 1, 2011.
And he 40% tax increase, and he's out there today talking about how we gotta get it.
Money into the hands of small business, we gotta make sure that they can go out and borrow the money out there.
That's how business is high.
He wouldn't know about hiring anybody if his life depended on it.
He doesn't know the first thing about generating income to pay anybody anything.
In fact, when he worked in a private sector business, he wrote that he felt like it was in the enemy lines.
Thank you.
This man is a destructive force like we have never seen.
And his people.
The left is all angry.
They're still not happy.
He's 18 months...
If I could do as much for this country in 18 months as this guy's done against it, I'd be ecstatically happy.
But they're not.
There were 22 million tax returns reporting sole proprietor income in 2008.
On the net income, these owners reported business profits of $264 billion.
A large chunk of this net profit, 90 billion, faced taxation and households making more than $200,000 a year.
34% of sole proprietor profits will face a tax rate increase under Obama.
There were 8 million partners and S Corp shareholders in 2008.
These owners reported business profits of $717 billion.
A majority of this profit, $398 billion, faced taxation in households making more than $200,000.
55% of S corporation and partnership profits will face a tax increase under the Obama Pelosi Reed tax plan because all of these different business structures file their income taxes on their personal.
On their personal income tax return, which rate is going up to near 40% starting in July.
So a majority of the small business sector is facing higher taxes under Obama.
Now that's not how you create jobs.
It's not how you expand the private sector.
Yeah, here's the in fawning Obama interview, ABC elicits hot scoop about babysitting.
Sasha and Malia or Malia, how is it how Malia?
Sasha and Malia babysit to earn extra cash, Obama said.
Babysit who?
Who are they babysitting?
Are they actually leaving the White House and babysitting?
Or are they babysitting Geitner's kids?
Does he have kids?
Who's who's kids?
They baby well, Orzog has a couple of legitimate kids, and maybe they're babysitting his kids.
Well, I don't know if they report the income.
Uh Sasha and Malia doing babysitting to earn extra cash.
Obama says he's not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.
Here's the question.
Has your own retirement fund taken a hit?
Can you feel the pain that other Americans are feeling?
Obama said, Well, we're not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.
And uh, yeah, when we're not far from you, it's right through that gate.
We're not far removed from where you are.
I mean, you see the homeless over there in Lafayette Park are less than a football field away.
We're real close to them.
So Michelle My Bell and the fam.
The Obama's made five and a half million dollars last year, by the way.
Michelle's Spanish hotel room rates, $2,859 a night.
Michelle picked the hotel because the hotel via Paderma allows children.
Does the Secret Service have to go along when these two kids babysit?
Who are they babysitting?
And does the Secret Service have to go along?
You know.
Uh, no, no, no.
I've got no.
If they want to go spend all that money to go on a hotel vacation, fine, but make it theirs.
Spend their money.
I look at Benjamin Franklin said it, folks.
Benjamin Franklin on Wealth in a letter to his trusted advisor, Benjamin Vaughan.
He considered whether a society was in need of a remedy for luxury.
He argued against such a need.
He said spending on luxuries means somebody else gets paid.
Ask John Kerry.
You just went out there, bought a 76-foot sailboat.
He got cornered by the had bought it in New Zealand, so somebody in New Zealand made some money putting the thing together.
He's docked it there in Rhode Island.
He didn't take it to Massachusetts, where he lives because it was a $500,000 tax if he does that.
So and the press cornered him yesterday.
Oh, pay my taxes.
I'm going to tell you what I'm going to pay my tax.
Can I get out of here now?
And he jumped in the SUV and sped off.
And then I read he's going to charter the thing.
He is going to charter it.
In addition to using it himself.
He's going to charter his 76-foot sailboat.
Absolutely a cheap skin.
It's not even his money.
It's his wife's money.
That bought the damn thing.
At any rate, so here you have all these phony baloney plastic men and a good time rock and rollers talking about the rich or horrible.
Here are the rich or horrible.
The Clinton wedding.
We're told today in a fawning New York Daily News story, the Clinton wedding, the Chelsea Clinton wedding.
Between three and five million.
It's gonna be the biggest wedding since Prince uh Pat Nixon or since uh Trisha Nixon got married.
Really?
You people of Daily News not heard of Princess Diana?
I think it's a little bigger than the Nixon wedding.
Even though it wasn't here in the uh United States.
So they're out there, and of course the Clintons and the and the and the Carries and the uh and the Obamas are always just ripping into the rich.
Just maligning the rich and impugning the rich and the wealthy and threatening to take care of them and threatening to get even with them.
And then lo and behold, look how they live.
This is a great illustration of the ruling class versus the rest of us in the country class.
So Kerry didn't buy the yacht with his money, it's his wife's.
We don't know who's funding the Clinton wedding, even though Bill and Hillary reported income of 109 million over the recent years.
Uh there is.
I'm told there's there's a big hoo-haw over people not invited.
Really, people are just discovering they're not.
Really?
Some big donors are not invited?
Well, I don't does Chelsea know them.
You know, who's gonna be at this?
How many people?
I'm gonna ask you this question.
No, 500, certainly.
500 people, but how many of them does Chelsea know?
Chelsea's the bride.
Her husband's Mark Mizvinski.
How many did the bride and groom know?
How many of these people at the Clinton wedding are actually friends of the bride and groom?
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
So an emailer says, Rush, you're you're you're you're not suggesting that Clintons are pimping out their daughter, are you?
You're you're not implying that Clintons are using this wedding to smooth with important guests who could help their political careers and further pad their bank accounts, are you?
I mean, that would be pimping out their daughter.
And of course, it'd be nice if you were, but you're not the first one to say it, Rush.
David Schuster of MSNBC once accused the Clintons of pimping out her daughter.
So don't you're not in a cutting edge on this one, Rush.
That's the email.
Subchapter S corporation tax rates, another email rush.
I'm an S-corp.
I not only pay taxes on what I pay myself, but the profits.
For example, if I pay myself a hundred thousand dollars and the company profits two hundred thousand, I pay taxes on three hundred thousand on my personal return.
And meanwhile, there's Obama.
We're gonna put more money in the hands of these small business guys so they can grow and hire people.
That's how you create jobs in America.
He wouldn't know the slightest idea.
David Fort Benning, Georgia, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Great to have you here.
Uh, hello, Russ.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going?
Very well, sir.
First of all, uh, a couple things here.
You asked what Wiki stood for earlier.
I know what it means.
It means you can do things on it yourself.
You can add to it.
I mean what I know is uh anyway.
First of all, have you ever actually been to WikiLeaks?
Uh have I been to WikiLeaks?
Yeah, I went to WikiLeaks.
I I I after this uh leak, I went there tried to find what it's all about.
It's an unusable website.
Okay, well, um personally I'm I'm a libertarian, and I'm calling because I take a little bit of issue with your uh accusation that WikiLeaks is a left-wing conspiracy.
Um, first of all, it's not a conspiracy.
You know, it's just it's it's not a conspiracy.
It's just the left-wing bunch of people.
Well, but see, uh what I disagree is you said that it only leaks things about you know American corporations and the American government.
Well, there's actually a uh a page on WikiLeaks where it uh it sorts out the different leaks by country.
And there are two hundred and twelve different countries listed on there.
Uh, I went and did some research on this yesterday.
Here's a few of the uh, you know, what you might typically call uh things to the left wing agenda that they leaked.
Um they leaked stuff on the uh Copenhagen Climate Convention from last year.
Yeah.
Uh they they helped blow the story about the uh what is it, the East Anglia uh research.
Yeah, All for the express purpose of advancing the leftist agenda, but notice nobody knows that.
WikiLeaks couldn't get noticed for doing that stuff.
So what did they do to get noticed?
They call the New York Times, the Guardian, and Der Spiegel say, guess we got 91,000 pages of hate America stuff here.
Will you help us?
And all three said yeah.
And nobody's talking about WikiLeaks.
They're on the map hating America.
Case closed.
Speaking of the WikiLeaks uh uh documents, Obama also addressed them at this little statement he made at the Oval Office that are outside the Oval Office, and basically uh he said the WikiLeaks uh doesn't matter.
Uh we didn't learn anything new here.
It was uh we always know that uh Bush sucked and ran the war wrong, and it's what's informed my decision.
There's nothing new here, is what Obama basically says.
You want to hear it, I'll play it for you when we get back.
If not, I won't.
