Time Text
It is the fastest three hours in media and by extension.
It's the fastest week in media.
We are already at Thursday.
And it's great to have you here.
I am Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity as America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, America's Doctor of Democracy.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Time magazine on their website by the uh the putrid Michael Grunwald is the writer of the story.
The BP spill.
Has the damage been exaggerated?
President Obama has called the BP oil spill the worst environmental disaster America's ever faced.
And so has just about everybody else.
The green groups are sounding alarms about the catastrophe along the Gulf Coast.
CBS, Fox, MSNBC slapped disaster in the Gulf Chirons on all their spill-related news, even.
The BP Fall guy Tony Hayward, after some early happy talk, admitted the spill was an environmental catastrophe.
The obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh has been a rare voice, arguing that the spill, he calls it a leak, is anything less than an ecological calamity, scoffing at the avalanche of end is nigh eco-hype.
The obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh writes the putrid Michael Greenwald.
Well, the next paragraph begins this way.
Well, the obnoxious and anti-environmentalist Rush has a point.
The deep water explosion was an awful tragedy for the eleven workers who died.
And it's no leak.
It's the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.
It's also inflicting serious economic and psychological carnage.
Damage on the coastal communities.
Yes, the spill has killed birds, but so far less than one percent of the birds killed by the exonvaltees.
Yes.
We've heard horror stories about oiled dolphins.
So far, wildlife response teams have collected only three visibly oiled carcasses of any mammals.
Yes.
The spill prompted harsh restrictions on fishing and shrimping, but so far the region's fish and shrimp have tested clean, and the restrictions are gradually being lifted.
And yes, scientists have warned that the oil could accelerate the destruction of Louisiana's disintegrating coastal marshes.
But so far, shoreline assessment teams have only found about 350 acres of oiled marshes, when Louisiana was already losing about a hundred or fifteen thousand acres of wetlands every year.
So it's a convoluted piece.
Ladies and gentlemen, but does point out that the obnoxious and anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh has a point that it's all been exaggerated.
Marine scientist Ivor Van Heerden, another former LSU professor who's working for a spill response contractor, says there's just no data to suggest this is an environmental disaster.
I have no interest in making BP look good.
I think they lied about the size of the spill, but we're not seeing catastrophic impacts, says Van Heerden, who, like just about everybody else, is being paid out of BP's spill response funds.
There's a lot of hype, but there's no evidence to justify this catastrophe, he says.
The scientists I spoke with cite four basic reasons the initial eco-fears seem overblown.
First, the deep water horizon oil is comparatively light and degradable.
It's like something I said within the first week of the spill.
Which is why the slick in the Gulf is dissolving surprisingly rapidly now that the gusher's been capped.
It's not surprising to me.
It was predicted by me.
And I didn't even have to predict it because I knew this would be true.
Second, the Gulf of Mexico, unlike Prince William Sound, is balmy at more than 85 degrees, which also helps bacteria break down oil.
Third, heavy flaws of Mississippi River water helps keep the oil away from the coast, where it can do much more damage.
And finally, Mother Nature can be incredibly resilient.
Everything pointed out by the obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh.
Mother Nature can be incredibly well, who's Mother Nature.
I'll say it again.
Mother Nature is God, the God of the Bible, the God of creation.
Van Heirden's assessment team showed me, this is the putrid Michael Greenwald, the writer, around uh uh Cassette Island, I hope we're pronouncing that right in Timbalier Bay, where new chutes of Spartina grasses were sprouting in oiled marshes, and new leaves were growing on the first black mangroves I had ever seen that were actually black.
Comes back fast, doesn't it?
Van Heerton said.
Remarkably resilient, comes back fast.
There you have it, the obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh.
And there's also uh see USA Today has a uh a story on this.
I find it in the stack here.
I put it way down, and I got two stacks, and I put that in the first stack.
And here the missing oil in Gulf baffles officials.
This is by Rick Jervis, USA Today, a partisan political operative.
For more than three months, Gulf Coast residents and federal officials have asked where the oil spill was headed, how much damage it would deliver.
Now a new equally baffling question looms.
Where has the oil gone?
Where is it?
The amount of surface oil it's bubbled up from the leaking well at the site of the rig has rapidly shrunk in size since the well was capped.
Recent flyovers of the spill area spotted only one sizable oil deposit in the region, down considerably from the large pools of thick reddish oil that washed into Louisiana's coastal marshes and beaches along the Gulf.
What we're trying to figure out here is where's all the oil at?
said Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard Admiral.
There's still a lot of oil out there that's unaccounted for.
You can't find it.
I'll say it's hiding next to 3.6 million jobs that have been saved, Admiral.
The uh all the oil is it's it's it's hiding right next to all the heat that the global warming people can't find.
So you can't find the oil, the global warming hoaxers cannot find their global warming, and there's three and a half million jobs that have been saved out there that nobody else can find.
They're all three hiding out together just as screw you.
You realize the only reliable reporter in the media today is me.
Now you're gonna have a lot of people say, well, I, you know, I can't lie, of course, oil was gonna nobody had the guts to say this when it happened.
I mean, Gene Taylor did, a Democrat from Mississippi, Gene Taylor did, and of course Anderson Cooper of Anderson Cooper 24 raked him over to Kohl's, as well as me for being insensitive and heartless and having uh zero compassion about this.
Federal scientists estimate that 128 million to 218 million gallons is spilled into the Gulf.
About 80 million gallons of that has been skimmed, burned off, or captured, leaving at least 40 million gallons of crude unaccounted for.
Where is it?
The Gulf's searing summer heat could speed up the biodegradation process.
Microbes have been known to eat as much as 50 to 80% of oil patches in a few weeks during experiment.
What?
You mean the ocean's gonna take care of it?
Exactly as who said?
The obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh, who said the oil is gonna eat it alive?
Those are my exact words.
The ocean is gonna eat it alive.
I said, try surviving in seawater for very long and see what happens to you.
Oil seeps from the ocean floor daily in amounts equal to what was leaking daily from the oil rig spill.
Never makes the surface.
It literally is eaten alive.
And now all of a sudden, microbes.
Microbes In the Gulf of Mexico, evil microbes have been known to eat as much as 50 to 80% of oil patches.
I my exact words, the ocean, the Gulf's gonna eat it alive.
It's gonna eat it up.
It's gonna absorb it.
It's gonna evaporate.
And I'm not a scientist.
Alan said that no one should breathe easy yet.
Okay.
We're not breathing easy.
We're still in anticipation.
It's a Soviet disaster.
Right.
Federal scientists say that less oil on the surface doesn't mean that there is an oil out there beneath the surface.
However, our beaches and marshes aren't still at risk.
That's true.
They're not.
The beaches and marshes are not still at risk.
That's that beaches and marches are not.
It's right here.
Beaches and marshes aren't still at risk.
They're not.
Just in time for the Obamas to head down there on their third of four vacations in the last 30 days.
Federal scientists still trying to determine how much oil may be lingering underwater.
The underwater oil floating through the water column, not embedded on the seafloor, said Jane Lubchenko, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a lack of surface oil, is being closely followed by the teams of fishers who have been recruited to clean up the oil as part of BP's vessels of opportunity program.
Many of them have relied on the program for income ever since this spill forced their fishing grounds to close.
And now that source income's dried up.
There's no oil.
Will BP be given its $20 billion shakedown fund back?
Ha!
No, it didn't say I'm anti-environment.
Time magazine, the putrid Michael Greenwald referred to me, the obnoxious and anti-environmentalist.
Rush Limbaugh.
Now why am I obnoxious?
Because I'm right.
Because I'm as simple as pie.
I'm obnoxious because I'm right.
They just can't stand it.
I'm obnoxious because I'm right.
And let me tell you something.
Why are they acknowledging it?
That's a good question.
They could have written a story that putting my name in there.
I guess they just wanted to call me obnoxious.
Probably why they included me in the story.
It is a good question, though.
They could have written that story.
Guess what?
The oil is not there, baffling everybody.
But no, they say the obnoxious Rush Limbaugh wasn't fooled.
Now this is a lesson.
I asked the question, why am I obnoxious?
The answer because I'm right.
You see how they try to intimidate people from speaking their minds.
See how the ruling class tries to intimidate you from being right.
If you're right, you're mean spirited.
If you're right, you're obnoxious.
If you're right, why you're anti-environment.
You're anti everything if you're right.
Quick time out.
More phone calls, more audio sound, but who we got coming up?
Oh, yeah.
We got we got a couple sound bites coming up on people about the political fallout of the judge's decision yesterday, the political fallout for the Democrats and Obama.
The who in our bumper music rotation, Mama got a squeeze box.
I thought when that record came out, I thought we would not be able to play that record, or at least announce the title of it.
And I found out what a squeeze box was.
You know, there's another reason why the left is angry out there.
And I about this oil spill.
Obama did not lift a finger to help it.
This is such the left is looking at this, the environmentalist wackos.
They're looking at this as such a blown opportunity.
He did nothing.
Sat around for how many days?
58, 60 days, and did diddly squat.
God took over.
Obama cannot raise the seas.
He cannot lower the seas.
He cannot clean up the seas.
He cannot get rid of the oil.
I have the guts to report it.
So all they can do, and don't be surprised if this happens.
Don't be surprised if the partisan political operatives in the so called media, the fake media.
So, well, of course Obama didn't do anything.
He knew that this would take care of itself on its own.
No, no, no.
We're not gonna let him get away with that because it wasn't how long ago was it?
Obama went on TV.
Said he was in there shaving one morning.
Which he has to do, I understand, once a week.
And he said his little girl came in at Daddy, Daddy, did you plug daddy?
Did you plug the hole?
So when it when the fake media comes around and says Obama knew it was gonna take care of itself.
That's why he wasn't in a panic.
Obama no no no.
Obama's family was panicking over whether or not he'd plugged a hole yet.
Very, very simple.
I went back during the break.
I went back to the um L Rushbo's stack of stuff at my website.
I went back, and this is this is from um my website quick hits page.
Back in uh back in May 18th, and the headline was Hayward got bashed for telling the truth.
This is what I said on this program back on May 18th.
I saw on television today, the CEO of BP.
I forget his name, but he's a PhD, and this guy is really in for it.
I don't know, this this guy obviously has not been trained about how to deal with the media in this era because he told the truth.
Hayward said, come on, don't worry.
This is not heavy crude like came out of the excess of Aldees.
He said, when you look at the total water volume of the Gulf of Mexico, compared to what's leaking from the well, this is nothing, quote unquote.
Hayward said that.
I said, uh he well, he didn't say nothing.
He said, this this is this is not gonna kill marine life.
He said they will adapt to it.
The marine life would not be able to adapt to heavy oil, but this is light sweet oil, and compared to the entire water volume of the Gulf, why this is like raindrops in the ocean, he said.
And he's a geologist.
I know he's a geologist, but I said this guy's crucified now, back on May 18th when he said this.
I continued by saying, I just learned this guy's name is Dr. Tony Hayward.
He gained a first class geology degree and a PhD from Edinburgh University, age of 22.
But what does he know?
He's the BP CEO who put in perspective the amount of oil that's coming out of the leak compared to the entire water volume of the Gulf of Mexico.
He would know much more than these politicians, of course.
And yet the Obama regime is now having more investigations.
Ken Salazar's come out, you know we failed.
Somebody call Obama and said a member of his regime is using the word fail.
So Hayward was right.
The point is, just like I was, now he's been forced out of a job.
He was attacked unmercifully, and he has been forced from his job.
All because he was right, he didn't show us sufficient compassion.
He didn't show sufficient empathy, didn't show sufficient understanding.
So he's gone, and he's literally been dispatched to Siberia.
And he was right.
He put it in perspective.
To the phones we go to Walter in uh in Burleville, Rhode Island.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hi, Rush.
Really an honor to speak to you.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, uh, to view this morning, President Barack Obama called himself a mongrel.
Not just himself, he called all African Americans and even some white people mongrels.
Well, is it safe now to say the son of a bitch has to go?
Oh.
Hey, campaign slogan.
Uh, you know.
I think we got Walter Williams on the phone here, uh, ladies.
So campaign slogan, um, uh, he has to go.
The uh the best campaign slogan that's out there is we're not democrats.
What what bothered you about him using the term mongrel, Walter?
It's not made for for humans.
Uh the term mongrel, you gave the definition.
It's the animals.
Right.
And he's calling himself, he's calling, he's calling everybody of you know, mixed descent mongrels.
Right.
Well, that's safe to say no, the son of a bitch has to go.
No, you can't call You can't say that.
Well, you can't, you can't, you can't say his mother was white.
You can't say that.
Well, I did.
You said it.
You said it twice.
But don't say it again.
Okay.
Promise.
I mean.
We got.
We probably have 20 seconds to decide whether or not to beep this.
Do we want to beep it or not?
We've got about 15 seconds to decide whether we want to beep this.
We've got about 10 seconds to decide.
I'm told now it's actually 20 seconds we've got to decide what I want to beep this.
Because he said it twice.
We've uh I'm not talking about Mongrel.
I'm not talking about bleep and mongrel.
He said can't the answer I know context is.
Well, it's too late now.
It's we have to live with it.
From the uh from the well-known inside of Bellway newspaper, thehill.com comes this headline.
And an accompanying story.
Biden tags economy, Bush recession.
Vice President Joe Bitemey trotted out a new line of attack against Republicans, terming the nation's economic difficulties the Bush recession.
The Vice President Bight Me sought to explicitly link the recession, plaguing many Americans to President Bush, as Democrats ramp up their attacks on the previous administration.
Now there's a problem.
This is the summer of recovery.
Now, how can there be a recession in the summer of recovery?
When three million jobs have been created or saved, even if we can't find them.
How in the hell can you have a recession in the middle of the summer of recovery?
And I thought the subprime mortgage meltdown was caused by Wall Street's greed, and now we've got Senator Bite Me out there declaring the country still in recession, blaming Bush in the middle of the summer of recovery.
Now, the important takeaway, I'm not going to read a whole story to you here, folks, but the important takeaway from this story is not that Bite Me would try to blame Bush for Obamaville.
But that the operatives, the partisan political operatives disguised as media would fail to challenge this nonsense.
And I, you know, I didn't get the there were two stories I said I was going to parse yesterday, and I just parsed one of them.
I didn't parse the second one.
The second one is this political story by Roger Simon about the journalist.
This is a story in which F. Chuck Todd says he's being kept up at night by what he learned was going on at the journalists, is sullying the reputation of everybody in journalism.
You know, you know who you would you watch the tonight show.
Do you ever watch it?
Well, Leno has this bit where he goes out on the street and he finds, you know, so-called average ordinary American says, what is two plus two?
And I said, I don't know, ten.
Uh, who is George Washington?
I don't know, my pimp.
They don't know anything.
That's how I see Joe Bite Me.
Joe Bite Me is one of those guys on the street that Leno finds to start asking questions.
Now, the the point here.
We learned in the politico yesterday, I guess I'll parse this piece.
There are only a few bad apples in the journalism barrel.
I mean, in truth, the media cares.
They are on a mission from God to save the country from propaganda deceit.
They just want to do it right.
That's what Roger Simon says.
So when Bite Me comes out, I try this.
Do they have steroids for stupidity?
Because if they do, bite me is on them.
They got steroids for everything else.
Fragget brain steroids too.
It speed up whatever your brain activity is.
If it's stupidity, they make you stupider.
Let's just go to this, let's just do the political piece right now.
Because this may be one of the most embarrassing pieces I have ever read.
And looking back on the things I have read, there's a lot of competition for most embarrassing thing I've ever read.
This piece may be at the top.
Journalist veers out of bounds by Roger Simon, Politico.
This may be the most embarrassing thing I have ever written, and looking back on my writing, there is a lot of competition for that dubious distinction.
But when I became a reporter, it was almost a holy calling.
Now, Roger, the thing about journalism, it's supposed to be objective, dispassionate, and skeptical.
It's supposed to be a lot of curiosity in there.
A holy calling implies none of that.
A holy calling means you got all the answers.
And you're out there to save something.
That's what a holy calling is.
Um really believed we were doing good, he writes.
We informed the public, and we helped make democracy work.
We were out, well, he didn't say this, but you go to any J School and ask, you know, the students running around the halls.
Why are you here?
I want to save the world.
I want to I want to write the injustices of the world.
Well, why are you here?
This is not where this is supposed to happen.
I want to save the world.
This is basically what he's writing here.
We really believed we were doing good.
We informed the public and helped make democracy work.
Folks, even I frighten myself sometimes with how right I am.
For the entire history of this program and dating back to even before this program, when I was doing this program in Sacramento, people would ask me about journalists.
And I'd say they think they are the personal guarantors of freedom.
They are the personal guarantees.
They are the last line of defense against the Constitution and the First Amendment.
They do believe they are our personal guarantors of freedom.
What is he write here?
We believed we were doing good.
We informed the public and helped make democracy work.
We exposed wrongdoing wherever we found it.
We reported without fear or favor.
As a columnist, I tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Well, even that's true.
How do you rise to the ranks of journalism, find somebody and destroy them?
And then the Washington Post might hire you.
Afflict the comfortable.
But when's the last time you did that, Roger?
When is the last time you exposed wrongdoing wherever you found it?
When's the last time you reported without fear or favor?
Why all the polls that prove journalists are liberal and vote democrat with the regularity of a well-made clock, a journalist does try to comfort anyone?
They inform them.
What is this comfort business?
And when did becoming comfortable become a sin worthy of affliction?
We're here to afflict.
I'm comfortable right now.
I guess that's why they come after me.
Because I'm comfortable.
What in the world is sinful about being comfortable?
Why is that an affliction?
They inform?
Supposed to.
Why why why be a pr wh why why be proud of afflicting the comfortable?
That to me sounds like you enjoy attacking achievers.
And you think that's a holy calling?
To attack the chief.
And yes.
As I answer my own question, yes, it is.
Attacking achievers is a holy calling.
He next writes, I warned you that this would be embarrassing.
You're right, Mr. Simon, but not for the reasons that you think.
We loved what we did, he writes, and we did it with passion.
We were proud.
We felt I'm just gonna go ahead and say it honorable.
We were honorable.
Um as I'm concerned, honorable people don't do what journalists today do.
Forget journalist, forget the listserv.
I mean, don't try to use that as a scapegoat for what journalism at all has become.
Journalist.
The list served, those four hundred activists.
Tiny, tiny story compared to what we know about the partisan hack media.
That is coast to coast.
Rathergate?
Rathergate?
You circled the wagons, Roger, to protect the guy who used and you forged fake documents to effect an election.
This is honorable.
You get mindless promotion of climate fraud.
No curiosity whatsoever.
There's a giant hoax that's been perpetrated on the world, and you're right there.
Promoting it.
You're honorable.
Journalism was honorable.
The things that you at Politico and others have done to Sarah Palin and Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork and George Allen.
Honorable.
The politics of personal destruction advanced by phony journalists did not start with Ezra Klein.
Mr. Simon.
Honorable.
What's Sarah Palin ever do to you?
Best we can figure she threatens you somehow.
Mr. Simon then writes, there were wrongdoers, fakers, plagiarists, those with private agendas who wished to slant the news.
When found, they were often fired.
When found, they weren't found, they were exposed.
Nobody was looking for them on the inside.
They happened to be exposed.
And by the way, if you're Lawrence Tribe, and you hire an assistant to plagiarize somebody else, you can still hold on to your job at Harvard, as can Doris Kearns Goodwin.
A lot of you people have plagiarized and stolen.
Honorable circle the wagons and protect each other.
There were those with private agendas who wished to slant the news.
Were those with private agendas?
Any and all of you perpetrating a hoax on global warming, any and all of you who failed honestly investigate and probe the power of this administration and how it's being used to govern against the will of the people.
Slant the news?
How about become part of the agenda?
There is no news anymore, Mr. Simon.
There's no more media.
Nothing's real.
Even when they were subjected to a lesser punishment, their sins were made clear as a lesson to the rest of us.
And a few papers, those who wished to slant the news were publishers or editors who wished to please their publishers.
They were rarely fired, but their numbers were few.
Oh.
Or back to this.
There aren't that many people slanted.
And most of them were editors and publishers.
But they were close to the conservative owners.
That's how this is to be translated.
The lines were not muddy.
You played it straight, he writes.
Even if you were a columnist and allowed to publish your opinions, you were expected to be fair and accurate.
Yeah, this is an embarrassing piece.
At the end of the day, you often went home feeling good.
When was that?
Somebody's career had been destroyed.
Somebody's life had been to somebody had been lied about, so that he'd been distorted, maligned, and impugned sufficiently that they were finished.
Is that when you went home and felt good?
People asked you what you did, you replied with pride, I'm a journalist.
Not shame.
The last time I think you went home happy is when you got Obama elected.
What do you do for a living?
I got Obama elected.
What do you do for a living?
I got Democrat majorities in the House elected.
I got Democrat majorities in the Senate elected.
And I'm helping Obama destroy the American capitalist private sector.
I go home, I feel really good.
That's what I do.
I'm a journalist.
As I said, it was a holy calling almost.
He writes, and almost accompanied by a vow of poverty.
Somewhere along the way, though, things have gone terribly wrong.
Journalism's become a toy and electronic plaything.
I don't blame technology.
The giant megaphone of technology has been coupled with a new angrier, more destructive age.
Yes, you can find extremely angry, extremely partisan times in our past, but I always thought the goal was to progress over the centuries, not regress.
Until recently, there was a semi-secret, off-the-record organization called journalists.
It was a list serve.
A bunch of people who sign up if allowed, and they get the same emails and can reply to everybody on the list.
It was founded by Ezra Klein, 22-year-old kid, 2007, working for the liberal publication, the American Prospect.
Klein continued running it when he went to the Washington Post in 2009.
The Post is a mainstream public.
No, it's not, Mr. Simon.
It's a liberal activist, agenda-oriented enterprise.
But journalist was limited to those from nonpartisan to liberal center left.
And he goes on to describe what journalist was.
And some are still troubled after the exposure.
Chuck Todd, political director, chief White House correspondent, NBC News, who was not part of journalists, told me this quote, I'm sure Ezra had good intentions when he created.
No, he didn't.
Well, what define good intentions.
But I'm offended that the right is using this as a sledgehammer against those of us who don't practice activist journalism.
Journalists was pretty offensive.
Those of us who are mainstream journalists got mixed in with the journalists with an agenda.
Those folks who thought they were improving journalism are destroying the credibility of journalism.
This has kept me up at nights.
I try to be fair.
It's very depressing.
F. Chuck Todd, NBC.
Not an activist journalist.
Just got to make sure Obama wins the day every day.
But we're not an activist journalist.
No, they don't have any noise.
Back to the phones we go.
Rush Limboss surfing.
Humanity.
By the way, what is my accuracy rating?
Gulf oil spill.
Uh a couple other things that come along.
Uh, that that might just in the next opinion ought to jump it up.
I don't know if a full tenth of a point, but maybe I don't know, almost always right, 99.963 percent of the time.
But I mean, there have been some home runs here, documented in the last couple weeks.
Uh, Fort Mill, South Carolina.
This is uh Luke.
Great to have you, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Ditto's uh twenty years of Ditto's and God's blessings on your new marriage.
Thank you very much, sir.
Yeah, I uh was listening to you earlier talking about uh the federal government working with local you know law enforcement, and uh I had the uh uh the uh I guess I'm gonna say it's the good luck.
I had the bad luck to be the last uh hijack in the United States before 911 of a passenger airplane.
I don't remember that one in 1978 where we jumped out of the cockpit windows and escaped.
Everybody broke their legs in Denver.
Yeah, I remember.
Yeah, anyway, what happened was after we uh escaped from the hijacker, we'd already got the passers off.
Uh the FBI arrested him.
Uh, he surrendered because he didn't have hostages, and then they were we were getting interviewed, and they were gonna charge him with the hijacking, but uh he had already been declared insane by the Veterans Administration.
Under federal law, you can't incarcerate an insane person who commits an act or a crime.
So they charged him under state kidnapping laws.
This is the FBI, and uh had a hearing just to see if he was competent.
They declared him criminally insane.
He's still in the funny farm down in Colorado.
He's never been charged with hijacking.
Right, they're coming to take me away, haha.
Yes.
So they what I'm saying is that the law they're selected and they enforce what they want for us when they feel like it, and they can uh use state laws for benefit to use federal laws.
Exactly what I was gonna say.
When it suits their purpose, they'll play ball.
That's right.
When it doesn't suit their purpose, they won't.
And that's it's it's I mean, it's very, very clear now.
This regime is not at all interested in protecting the borders.
This regime is not interested in keeping illegal aliens out of the country.
Now, what is it that you think makes them work for cheap labor?
What is it that makes them work cheap?
It's being illegal, right?
Yep, it is.
When you grant them amnesty, when they become citizens, they're not gonna take it.
The next group of illegals are gonna come along and work dirt cheap.
So are they shafting themselves in the long term anyway here?
It's being illegal that it makes them afraid to demand more money, but when they become citizens, they're competing with the next wave of illegals.
