Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Oh, come on, give me a break.
Presidency in total meltdown.
Wishful thinking, Snurtley.
Presidency in total meltdown?
What do you how can a presidency, which features a president as a foreign agent, be in meltdown?
They're not in meltdown.
They're hitting Grand Slam home runs.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome, Rush Limboa after a restful, relaxing weekend.
Great to have you here.
We are at 800-282-2882 when you want to be on the program email address.
Let me just ask you one quick question here, folks.
If instead of a mosque, somebody wanted to build a Walmart near the World Trade Center, the left.
That is to say the unions, including Obama, would be up in arms at the loss of community.
You can't find a Walmart in New York City to this day.
There are 30 mosques at least.
There are, I think there's a mosque uh uh what, 10, 20 blocks from the from the from ground zero already.
You try to put a Walmart there, and can you imagine the out war?
Upro I mean this is the first time in a long time, snurdy, that I can recall a Democrats, a liberals ever even caring about property rights.
Really?
There's so much here.
There is so much to learn here.
Uh, you know, we we thought Obama was our first post-American president.
We might have underestimated him.
Our first anti-American president.
Here's a guy, Snerdley says is in meltdown, and uh, I don't know.
Now, it the the administration might be in meltdown because Robert Gibbs, the defense secretary, wants out, says he's quitting in 2011.
Christina Romer, who believes in supply-side economics, she jumped shifts.
You go back to Berkeley.
Uh Orzag left.
Maybe he's got some more illegitimate kids.
We don't know about he's got to raise, but he was the office of management budget director.
He's out of there only 20 months into the regime.
I think a lot of the people inside the administration think this guy's a disaster, and they're running for the tall grass.
And I think it's gonna be tough to find any self-respecting individual to be Secretary of Defense.
I think one of the reasons Gates wants out of there is that Obama's internally talking about slashing that budget like crazy.
And so it's gonna be fascinating.
He might have he might have to go as far as getting Cindy Sheehan to take the gig.
Uh depending on you know what kind of self-respecting people will be asked to uh head up the Department of Defense.
You know, I how about folks, let's do this.
Let's let's suggest that we build a Hindu temple right next to the um Arizona Memorial out at Pearl Harbor.
See, well, why?
We'll outreach.
Shall we have no hard feelings?
Put a Hindu temple there.
Um how about a mosque next to the Pentagon?
Why stop at the World Trade Center?
Put a mosque next to the Pentagon, and let's put a mosque right next to the soon-to-be-completed Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania.
I mean, if outreach is what we're talking about here, why stop it at the World Trade Center?
I mean, let's go, let's go all the way.
But just remember, a Walmart ain't no it would be up in arms.
I've got I've gone through and looked at some of the uh some of the partisan political operative media headlines.
And this is just hilarious.
In no particular order, this is uh Karen Tomulty and Michael Scheer from at just, I mean, at a panicked spinning Washington Post yesterday.
Obama backing Muslims' right to build New York City Mosque is not an endorsement.
Politico.
GOP takes harsher stance toward Islam.
Oh GOP takes a harder Mike What's his name?
Mark Halpert in Time Magazine.
Republicans, be careful.
You better not come out against this mosque.
You've been doing okay up till now, but you better not come on.
Hamas.
Hamas has come out in support of the mosque.
Hamas is agreeing with Obama.
Hamas, a terror organization.
We've got the audio.
But this is GOP takes harsher stance toward Islam.
Now I remember Roger Simon, Politico.
Back during the journalist days, he wrote this embarrassing denial of his publication's flagrant bias.
After reading Ben Smith's embarrassing analysis of uh of how the Republicans have responded to the attempt to build a victory shrine back in July 28th.
This may be the most embarrassing thing I've ever written.
And looking back on my writing, there's a lot of competition for that dubious distinction.
When I became a reporter, it was almost a holy calling.
We really believe we were doing good.
This is he's embarrassed about all of the bias uh that showed up on the journal list.
And now his publication comes out.
GOP takes harsh.
Damn, folks.
You can't, you can't get any debate.
And the political doubling down.
GOP keeps mosque flap alive.
You people do you realize what a laughing stock you have become?
GOP keeps mosque flap alive.
LA Times, Obama supports plan for mosque near ground zero.
This is this is before everybody started trying to walk it back.
New York Times, I'm sorry, Washington Post.
Uh, backing Muslims' right to build New York City Mosque is not an endorsement.
That's the headline.
L.A. Times, mosque dispute takes Obama off message on Gulf Coast.
L.A. Times, mosque dispute takes Obama off message on Gulf Coast.
I don't know what the message of the Gulf Coast was.
I guess that it's okay to go in in a bay nearby the Gulf and go swimming out there and eat uh eat shrimp and stop and have some ice cream.
President's uh constant message is off message here.
Um the uh the the state operative media here screwed him up.
Uh the frenzy over his remarks muddles his main mission of showing the beaches are open for business, is the uh is the subhead.
Let's uh let's go to the audio sound bites, shall we?
We'll start.
Let's go back, in fact, to September 14, 2001.
This is George W. Bush at Ground Zero talking to the firemen and the rescue workers, and this will give you an idea of just how far we've come.
The rest of the world hears you and the people and the people who knock these buildings down.
We'll hear all of us soon.
Rat on Radon Ronald.
That's Bush, September 14, 2001.
Here is this just our sophisticated intellectual, educated post-partisan post-American post racist.
President Barack Obama, the White House on Sunday, five, sorry, uh uh uh at the at the annual Iftar celebrating the end of Ramadan.
Let me be clear.
As a citizen and as president, I believe that Muslims have the right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country.
That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.
This is America.
Yeah.
And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.
Right on.
The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country.
Right.
And that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.
The writ of the founders must endure.
Right.
Okay, let's try a nativity scene next to the mosque then and see what happens.
And then let's put a nativity scene next to the New York Times building, see what happens.
And then let's uh let's put a nativity scene on the White House grounds.
This holiday season see what happens.
All right, so there you have it.
Now now it was very clear here.
Obama's endorsing building the mosque, two blocks from ground zero.
By the way, I have heard people raising the point, but Rush, what's a big deal?
Nothing hit that building.
It was an old coat manufacturer, coat factory, Remington coat factory or something that was shut down.
I am told USA Today has a story.
I've seen a couple other places that some of the landing gear and other debris did hit that building, went through the roof, nobody was in there.
But if that's true, if debris from the attacks actually hit that building, then that building is part of hallowed ground, and it's a it's but people, it's only too much, right?
Two two blocks, I mean, it's not even it's not even there.
Well, then why do you want to put it there?
Why not 15 blocks away?
Why not 20 blocks away?
There's no question this is an act of provocation, and even Muslims know it.
A couple of them have written about it in the Canadian media.
But there's no no doubt here, right?
The same Imam, by the way, the same Imam has a mosque twelve blocks away from ground zero.
So he wants to have one two blocks away.
Communities outreach.
And Obama there, you heard it, clearly endorsing it.
But then the fur flew.
And uh Saturday afternoon on CNN's newsroom after Obama delivered his remarks about the Gulf oil spill, Ed Henry talked to him about the mosque business.
He said, What do you think about the reaction to your speech about the mosque?
What about the reaction?
Well, you know, my intention uh was to simply let people know uh what I thought.
Which was that in this country we treat everybody equally in accordance with the law.
Uh, regardless of race, regardless of religion.
Uh I was not commenting, and I will not comment on the wisdom making a decision uh to put a mosque there.
I was commenting very specifically on the right that people have that dates back to our founding.
That's what our country's about.
And I think it's very important that you know, as difficult as some of these issues are, you know, we stay focused uh on who we are as a people and and what our values are all about.
Oh, now he cares about the founding.
You know, for the first time in his uh regime, he cares about the founding.
He hasn't cared about the founding up until now.
So here he is walking it back.
No, no.
I I I hadn't I was not endorsing the mosque.
I'm simply talking about the wisdom.
I'm talking about our founding values.
Uh I'm talking about freedom and equality.
And why wouldn't he talk about that?
He's a leader of the country.
He says, I don't get involved in local issues.
But he did get involved in local issues.
Here's Gibbs saying that the mosque is a local issue.
This is back on August 3rd at a press briefing.
CNN's White House correspondent Suzanne Malvo said there's a debate taking place in New York City whether or not it's appropriate to build a mosque, Islamic cultural center near the site of ground zero.
What is the administration's position on this?
I've been asked about this a couple of times.
I I think this is a uh rightly a matter for uh New York City and the local community to decide.
The president takes a position on religious freedom on tolerance.
Why wouldn't the administration I think you've heard this administration and the last administration talk about the fact that we are not at war with a religion but with an idea that has corrupted a religion?
But that having been said, I I'm uh I'm not from here going to get involved in local decision making.
Okay, uh that's back on August 3rd.
Not going to get involved.
It's a local issue.
Uh we're we're not gonna get involved, but I'll tell you, folks, this issue, what's fascinating about it, aside from the Obama, is that it is it is illustrating for once and all just who and what the American left are.
And anything, anything that reeks, or anything that allows them to um support an action based on their belief that America is guilty that America has to make amends.
They're all for it.
You should have heard the media over the weekend.
This was courageous.
After Obama walked it back, they're giving him credit before he walked it back.
What a courageous move.
This is Obama.
This is the Obama we knew.
Then he walked it back.
They go, oh no, don't walk it back.
We're giving you credit.
It's a great courageous thing.
This was courageous.
The American left loves it when anybody sticks it to America.
And it's clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
There's no doubt about this.
They're making it so.
I gotta take a break.
We'll be back.
We'll continue with all this.
Plus have the name of our most recent iPad winner on Facebook when we get back.
Don't go away.
By the way, this mosque business is not a local issue.
It was not New York that was attacked.
It was America.
It is not a local issue.
That's the president cutting and running.
Trying to walk it back.
He said what he meant to say.
And at the end of the day, he's going to stand by it.
By the way, I need to make a correction.
I said Buddha, I said a uh uh Hindu temple at uh uh Arizona Memorial.
I meant Shinto Shrine.
Um Hindus are Indian.
Buddhists uh in Japan.
So that's put a Buddhist temple out there is uh is my point.
All right, we have our second of nine iPads given away on our Facebook page.
Janice W of Billings, Montana, big sky country, is the winner of the second engraved iPad that's got my signature and the EIB logo engraved large on the back of the iPad 64 gig 3G capable Wi-Fi iPad.
There are seven of them left, and we'll be announcing another winner tomorrow.
We make the drawings late in the day on Monday at midnight, uh Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so we'll have another winner uh today, uh announced tomorrow and Thursday.
And then again next Monday.
If you're all uh there's a random computer selection, we're just gonna spin the bottle.
You know, computer version of spin the bottle.
That's how we pick the winner.
Don't ask the it's it doesn't matter.
It's it's it's legit and fair.
You think if it was rigged, we'd pick somebody from Montana?
Come on, Janice W. We're not rigging anything.
I can't believe you asked me the question.
Anyway, uh no, I love Montana, it's not the point, it's obscure.
Don't snurdly.
You're distracting me here.
We got important stuff to talk about here.
The Facebook page, we're up to 376 people have clicked like on that thing.

Facebook.com slash Rush Limbaugh.
That's too much to remember.
Uh we've got a link to it at the top of our page at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Now, I want to bring up some other points about this business of the mosque, ground zero.
I've already made what I think is a pretty good point.
Imagine a Walmart.
In fact, I think, if I'm not mistaken, at Pier 40, they did want to put a big box retailer, try to revitalize the area, and the community went berserk in New York.
You know that if somebody came along and wanted to put a Walmart there, the unions would go nuts and Bloomberg would go nuts and they would have a conniption fit.
A nativity scene down there, nobody'd be a conniption fit.
Obama, we we can't we can't impose our religious views on people this way.
That's not outreach.
But remember, remember Obama pressuring Bibi, Netanyahu, To stop building Israeli settlements in Jerusalem.
Why?
Well, because some might find it offensive, Obama said.
In Israel's country, in Israel's capital.
And Obama demanded that Israel respect the sensitivities of those who didn't want more settlements.
Sensitivity counts.
Well, how about the sensitivity of the 9-11 survivors who don't want a mosque in the shadow of ground zero?
It's a sacred place.
This is about the victims of that attack, and they were Americans, not just New Yorkers.
They hailed from everywhere.
Connecticut, New Jersey.
The sensitivity of the families.
Can't it's it's clear what we have going on here.
And it's clear who we have going on here.
Worldwide now.
Hey, hey.
In all four corners of the world, I am a household name, El Rushmore, behind the golden EIB microphone.
You know, a lot of people think that it's important to confirm that debris from the aircraft that hit the World Trade Center on 9 11 actually impacted the building that now will house the mosque.
I had a couple of sources here confirming it.
One is the Houston Chronicle.
This morning, or that morning, the terrorists attacked United Airlines flight hijacked Airlines Flight 175 as part of their attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers.
They crashed a plane into the South Tower at 903, triggering the tower's destruction hours later, the plane penetrated through the tower.
Part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower, crashed through the roof of 4547 Park Place, and through two of its floors.
That's the building we're talking about.
The plane destroyed parts destroyed the three floor beams and severely compromised the building's internal structure.
The New York Times also has it in a story on July 13th about Ric Lazio opposing the mosque.
Now it is an important point.
If debris from the plane hit that building, then of course you are talking about ground zero, not two blocks away from it.
But I mean, even at that, I mean this is this is really a no-brainer.
You get caught up, yeah, surely have the right to do it.
I mean, if you can get the variances, if you can get within the ordinances, everybody knows that.
Um this is not a do you have the right?
This is what's the real reason here.
What's going on?
Why are we bending over backwards here?
What is the point?
Why are we trying to make everybody think what happened is our fault?
Somehow we have to make amends.
From the Ottawa Citizen.com.
Mischief in Manhattan.
We Muslims know the ground zero mosque is meant to be a deliberate provocation by Rahil Raza and Tarek Fatah.
Rahil Raza, the author of their jihad, not my jihad, and Tariq Fatah, author of The Jew is not my enemy, to be launched in October, both sit on the board of the Muslim Canadian Congress.
They write.
Last week a journalist who writes for the North County or North Country Times, small newspaper Southern California, sent us an email titled Help.
He couldn't understand why.
An Islamic center in an area where Adam Gadan, Osama bin Laden's American spokesman came from, and that was the home to three of the 9-11 terrorists was looking to expand.
The man had a very valid point, which leads to the ongoing debate about building a mosque at ground zero in New York.
When we try to understand the reasoning behind building a mosque at the epicenter of the worst ever attack on the U.S., we wonder why its proponents don't build a monument to those who died in the attack.
New York currently boasts at least 30 mosques, so it's not as if there is pressing need to find space for worshipers.
The fact that we Muslims know the idea behind the Ground Zero Mosque Is meant to be a deliberate provocation to thumb our noses at the infidel.
The proposal has been made in bad faith, and in Islamic parlance, such an act is referred to as fitna, meaning mischief making that is clearly forbidden in the Quran.
The Quran commands Muslims to be considerate when you debate with people of the book, i.e., Jews and Christians, building an exclusive place of worship for Muslims at the place where Muslims killed thousands of New Yorkers is not being considered or sensitive.
It is undoubtedly an act of fitna.
So what gives Imam Faisal Abdul Roth of the Cordoba Initiative and his cohorts the misplaced idea that they will increase tolerance for Muslims by brazenly displaying their own intolerances in this case.
Do they not understand that building a mosque at ground zero is equivalent to permitting a Serbian Orthodox church near the killing fields of Sebronika, where 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered.
There are many questions that we would like to ask.
Questions about where the funding is coming from.
If this mosque is being funded by Saudi sources, then it's an even bigger slap in the face of Americans, as nine of the hijackers, the Twin Tower Calamity were Saudis.
If Roth is serious about building bridges, then he could have dedicated space in his so-called community center to a church and synagogue, but he didn't.
We passed on this message to him through a mutual Saudi friend, but received no answer.
He could have proposed a memorial to the 9-11 dead with a denouncement of the doctrine of armed jihad, but he chose not to.
It's a repugnant thought that 100 million dollars would be brought into the United States rather than be directed at dying and needy Muslims in Darfur or Pakistan.
That's an interesting point.
Muslims around the world are going to fund this place with a hundred million dollars rather than take care of other Muslims dying or in need.
Let's not forget that a mosque is an exclusive place of worship for Muslims and not an inviting community center.
Most Americans are wary of mosques due to the hardcore rhetoric that's used in pulpits, and rightly so.
As Muslims, we are dismayed that our co-religionists have such little consideration for their fellow citizens and wish to rub salt in their wounds and pretend that they're applying a bomb to soothe the pain.
If this mosque does get built, it will forever be a lightning rod for those who have little room for Muslims or Islam in the U.S. We simply cannot understand why on earth the traditional leadership of America's Muslims would not realize their folly and back out in an act of goodwill.
And for those teary-eyed, bleeding heart liberals such as New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and much of the media who are blind to the Islamist agenda in North America, we understand their goodwill.
Unfortunately for us, their stand is based on ignorance and guilt, and they will never in their lives have to face the tyranny of Islamism that targets kills and maims Muslims worldwide, and is using liberalism itself to destroy liberal secular democratic societies from within.
That's a couple Muslims, writing in the Canadian press, admitting that this is deliberately provocative.
And of course, Hamas.
A leader of the Hamas terror group is in a New York Post today.
A leader of the Hamas Terror Group yesterday jumped into the emotional debate on the plan to construct a mosque near ground zero, insisting Muslims have to build it there.
We have to build everywhere, said Mahmood al-Zahar, the co-founder of Hamas and the organization's chief on the Gaza Strip.
In every area we have, as Muslims, we have to pray.
And this mosque is the only site of prayer.
And he said this on WABC Radio, our flagship station in New York.
There are the numbers vary, 30, 50, but there are a lot of mosques in New York City.
And Mr. Faisal Abdul Roth is the Imam for a mosque.
It's only twelve blocks away from ground zero as it is now.
Why isn't that close enough?
For community outreach.
We have to build a mosque as you are allowed to build a church, and Israelis are building their holy places.
Well, yeah, allowed in the United States, but not in most Muslim countries.
How easy is it to get a synagogue up in Saudi Arabia?
Is there one?
Hamas, he added, is representing the vast majority of the Arabic and Islamic world, especially the Islamic side.
Zahar said Muslims around the world, including those who live in this country are united in a common cause.
That's very true.
That's too true.
First of all, we have to address that we are different as people as a nation totally different.
And we would agree, folks, you and I. We already are living under the tradition of Islam.
Islam is controlling every source of our life as regard to marriage, divorce, our commercial relationships.
Well, even the Islamic people or the Muslims in your country, they are living now in the tradition of Islam.
They are fasting, they are praying.
This is another thing that Obama and Hamas agree on, folks.
Indeed, just like Hamas, Obama believes Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque at ground zero, but that Israelis cannot be permitted to build houses on their own land.
I mean, there you go.
And use, I mean, the the rude treatment that Bibi Netanyahu got at the White House over the building of these settlements.
Now, Obama since done a walk back on that, but as we get closer to the election.
But still, it was all about sensitivity.
Well, some people are offended at those settlements.
It's not good for the peace process.
Well, there are a whole lot of people, sensibilities, offended at the idea of a mosque at uh at ground zero.
I have some friends who lost um a son.
They are beside themselves.
They just none of it makes any sense.
They they don't understand why.
We can't even rebuild a place.
They don't understand why.
The people that did what they did are not considered our enemy.
They don't understand any of it.
They don't understand all the outreach of the people responsible for this.
It's driving them nuts.
Driving them crazy.
They wanted to vote for Obama.
I mean, they're they're part of the group that thought we need to bridge our divide.
They have too much partisanship in America.
Maybe this guy.
Now they're just totally bamboozled and flummoxed.
No, I told them.
I told him before the election, this guy's not who you want him to be, not who you hope he will be.
And you're going to find out.
And they have found out.
We have Hamas audio on this.
Let's see.
Looking for here we go.
Soundbite's 12 of 13.
Aaron Klein, investigative radio, AM77 WABC New York.
Klein said to the Hamas co-founder, Mahmoud al-Zahar, what do you think about the new initiative?
To build a mosque near the World Trade Center in New York.
We have to build the mosque as you are allowed to build the church and do the Israel are building near holy places.
We have to build everywhere.
In every area we have Muslims, we have to breathe.
And this mosque is the only site of Greece.
The only site of Greece.
There's 23, 30 of them in New York.
Um Maybe there's 50 of you confuse New York City with Manhattan.
If you go to the five boroughs, there's got to be more than 20.
Or 23 mosques.
Next question Do you think that should even be a point of controversy about building a mosque near the ground zero site?
Or do you think it should not be built there?
We are different.
We are as people, as nation, totally different from your story.
We already are living under the tradition of Islam.
Islam is controlling every source of our life.
Marriage divorce commercial relationship, even the Islamic people or the Muslims in your country.
They are living now in the tradition of Islam.
That is the co-founder of Hamas.
Mahmood al-Zahar, supporting the building of a mosque.
And I might say, in total agreement with President Barack Hoover Obama.
Did a little research here during the Break from Bloomberg News, July 27, 2009, New York City has more than 100 mosques compared with 10 in 1970.
More than 800,000 of its 8.21 million residents are Muslims, said Philip Banks the Third, Chief of the New York PD Community Affairs Bureau.
More from Bloomberg.
Here's some numbers on the Muslim community in New York City taken between 1998 and 1999.
28 mosques in Queens.
This is ten years ago.
Twelve years ago.
Twenty-eight mosques in Queens, 27 in Brooklyn, 20 in the Bronx, 17 in Manhattan, 18 in Staten Island.
But there are probably a lot more than that because some people put a mosque in their apartment.
You can't see it from outside.
They worship there.
So to say that there's a shortage of worship space in New York City for Muslims.
Not the case.
Henderson, Kentucky.
Tim, you're up first today on the phones.
Great to have you here.
Hello, sir.
Yeah, uh, Rush.
I think your uh and me of the Republican uh leaders are acting fairly ignorant on this particular issue.
Um, you know, we it's a chance for us to show the world how our form of government is superior over the Islamic forms of government, Saudi Arabia or Iran, well uh we're not Islam is not a form of government.
It's a religion.
Uh we have a form of government.
We are not at war with a government.
We are at war with an ideology.
That is disguised as a religion here.
Militant Islam is not a government.
We're not going to impress anybody with this.
All all we're doing is beating ourselves up, as though we're the ones guilty in whether we have to make amends for whatever happened here.
We're not showing anybody anything.
We've we've gone out of our way already to show the Muslims we mean them no harm.
Our form of government is superior to theirs because we allow this.
We don't want to be a tit for tat.
They don't have a they're dictators.
The Taliban's a bunch of dictators.
We're not talking about a form of government here, and we're not we're not gonna we're not gonna change Islam just like they're not gonna change Christianity.
Well, may I say one thing?
Well, yeah.
We have a mosque in the Pentagon, in the Pentagon.
Yeah.
Where we lost 185 people.
How is that different than this issue?
It's in the Pentagon.
How is that different?
Uh I don't think it is a mosque in the Pentagon.
It's a prayer center where Muslims are it is a room where Muslims can pray, but it is not a mosque.
How is this different than a chapel at a YMCA?
Uh it's not a church.
Well, neither is a slight center.
It's not a church.
Don't get a chance to do that.
Yeah, it's a mosque.
It is a mosque.
Mosques have minarets.
It's where you have calls to prayer.
There's no minarets in the Pentagon.
It is a community center with a prayer center.
Let me ask you a question.
Why are you so insistent on this happening?
Why am I so insistent?
Yeah.
What is it you don't like about America that you think needs to be fixed?
I love America.
I love the religious freedom we have.
And that is my.
We don't have religious freedom.
Try building antivity scene at ground zero and see what happens.
Not on the government property, we don't.
Of course, not put it anywhere.
Of course, you can put it anywhere else.
Put a timity scene on the church lawn and see what kind of hell you get from the ACLU.
No, see, what is what is wrong with our country that you think this is going to fix?
I think this is a teaching opportunity where we can show that we are superior.
above the form of government that Islam has in their countries.
And we can show we are better than they are.
It's not going to change because we're not dealing with a form of government altogether.
All we're gonna do is send a signal to people like Mahmood Ahmadini Zod and the Chikon leaders that we're finished.
That we've had it, that we're ready to surrender.
