Time Text
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limb Boy, your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, despair, chaos, and even the good times.
It's great to have you with us.
And it is open line Friday on Thursday, ladies and gentlemen, because tomorrow starts the traditional annual Hartley Open.
Hartley invitational you have to be invited.
It's our annual guys' golf trip to Hawaii.
And we're gonna be taping a couple of episodes of the Haney Project while in Hawaii next week.
First one was Sunday without Haney, with just me, the production crew and the cameras out there getting an idea of my golf game.
And there was some chit-chat interviewing with the off-camera producer.
And then Monday after the program went up with Emerald Dunes and uh and Haney showed up.
We played uh went to the range, putting green and played three holes.
All on tape, and we'll get together with Haney on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week out on Hawaii.
This is gonna be a blast.
This is um it's gonna be a hoot.
The first two of Chuck Barkley, which everybody admits was a lost cause effect.
They told me, you know, have you ever seen Barclays Golf Swing?
Have you seen it, Brian?
I mean, it's here's a guy who's a professional athlete.
It it's it's got five hitches in the swing.
You know what a hitch in a swing is?
It's chop, chop, chop.
He's got five of them.
And uh Haney worked hard trying to get rid of the hitch, and they couldn't in the last episode from what I told a head ago, Barkley had to get some of his buddies out there to play in the last episode to get some decent golf out there.
And uh Ray Romano did the second season, and I think we start airing in January, so we've got until now until January.
They say two to three days a month, and there's eight episodes, a half hour each.
It's typical television.
They're gonna have, they're gonna have hours and hours and hours of video tape.
They're gonna have to edit down to 30-minute segments.
Well, actually 22, 23, because they're they're sponsored.
And as is the case with every show I do.
They're gonna end up with more than they can use, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they expand the season by a couple episodes or have bonus.
Uh this is a particularly if I improve a lot, which I fully intend to do.
So uh tomorrow we got uh Urbanski from Los Angeles doing the program, who will be interviewing my brother David on his fabulous great new book, Crimes Against Liberty, which I I said the other day, the book came out on the 23rd, uh, three days ago.
I'm really proud of David.
This is um just a tremendous effort.
Uh really, really hard work, well written, and it's uh not, you know, books like this can be oh well they can be monotonous and they can they can be like I love Friedrich Hayek.
Constitutional Liberty, Road to Serfdom, but they are laborious.
I mean, you've you really have to get into it to read it deep.
And a book like this could be, but uh David has has made this as uh as close to a uh page turner as as you can get with this subject matter, and he delves into areas that some people most people have not put on print.
Nobody's put in print uh about the combination of Obama's character and his policies and so forth.
Yes, I'm uh well, I'm not gonna be in Hawaii the whole ten days that I'm out.
I mean, there's the Labor Day weekend.
Uh Hawaii is here's what's gonna happen.
We're gonna leave here at uh we get wheels up at 7.30.
We stop in a city I'm not gonna mention to pick up some uh additional guys, and then we hightail it to Hawaii.
We'll get there about noon or 12.30.
And after 11 hours on a plane, we'll head right to the golf course.
And uh team vodka will uh tee off about an hour after we land, and then we finish uh we head back to the host's house.
This is a blast.
I got one of these uh uh well, I don't I don't think this trip, but one of these dinner social things all these guys will be part of the Haney project.
I'm thinking, you know, I host the guys in November.
Always the first week in November for the uh uh El Rushbo invitational.
So uh but we just have we have an absolute blast.
But we'll be leaving.
Damn right, play golf every day.
Damn straight, snurdly.
I live on the beach.
Why would I go to the beach?
Besides, no, no.
We we play golf.
Team vodka.
Play golf.
Team vodka.
Allen brothers in the evening.
We have five or six massage babes.
Oh uh beach.
Well, we see the beach from from where the host lives.
Great, great uh view, great, great location.
We'll be leaving for home next.
We'll play golf next Friday on the third and probably depart Hawaii late in the afternoon and get home.
Probably get home at five in the morning on Saturday the fourth or whatever, and then have the uh Labor Day weekend.
So no, it's all not gonna be golf.
People are gonna think I'm Obama.
Uh if he's out.
He got when did he when did he get to Martha's Vineyard?
Sunday or what?
He's already playing his fourth round of golf today.
But he's president of the Yeah, I know David's book is number two on Amazon.
It was it was number one shortly after I told people about it.
And he's doing great on these interviews with Hannity.
He's um he was on with uh uh our brother Levin.
He's been on with a lot of people, and and Urbanski is gonna have him on this program uh tomorrow.
I w somebody just asked me if I will have to come off the golf course for a conference call on the economy, uh, like Obama did.
That that was we mentioned this in the first hour.
The media actually we had a montage audio soundbite.
In fact, let's grant it.
I guess number three, uh might be number four.
Let me see if I can find it.
It's coming up very quickly here.
Yep.
Audio soundbite number three.
Last night and this morning, all these media people trumpet this as breaking news.
President Obama took a break from his vacation holding a conference call with his economic team.
The president took a break from his vacation to have a conference call with his economic team.
The president held a conference call from his vacation.
The president held a high-level conference call with his economic advisors.
But President Obama today held a conference call with members of his economic team.
President Obama took time out of his vacation to hold a conference call with his economic team.
Imagine this.
So he had to, in other words, just on vacation.
Damn it, he had to go to work.
How unfortunate, how unfair that our young president had to take a conference call while on vacation.
By the way, this number two, my brother's book number two on Amazon, that's both nonfiction and fiction list.
That's not just on the nonfiction list.
So that's an that that that's that's uh that's we're all very proud of David, and it's a it's a it's a this is the book.
This is the um, if you need one, the the the handbook going into the election.
This is the one to prepare you with knowledge to be able to answer any question from you know idiots, dorks and nerds that you run into who may not understand uh you know what all of the uh what all the issues are.
So uh anyway, that's that's the rundown, and so that's what no no no uh no it's a this is the usual end of August, first week of September, depending on the uh calendar and how the dates fall, the annual guys' golf trip in uh we used to do this in Spain, Ireland, uh, Scotland, and we've decided to keep it domestic and uh and go to Hawaii.
Yeah, a couple guys are gonna be on the Haney episode that we shoot on too.
Brett will be uh in the Forsum on Tuesday.
Snerdley continuing to ask questions here.
From the um New York Times new forecast shows Democrats losing six to seven Senate seats.
Uh and there's a 20% chance of losing ten or more seats in the Senate.
I think it's gonna be more than six or seven.
By the way, Lisa Murkowski, who is trailing by sixteen hundred and eighty-eight votes in Alaska has just asked for the National Republican Senatorial Committee to send a lawyer to oversee the recount and the uh whatever if they and they're gonna do it.
You know, and a lot of Tea Party PFs, a Tea Party candidate up there that that beat Lisa Murkowski, and a lot of, I want to prepare a lot of you in the uh Tea Party movement, you're gonna, why?
Why are the republic why are the Republicans gonna try to sabotage our case?
You have to understand here, she is a ruling class Republican, and it's just like you didn't understand why Bush would uh would endorse Spectre.
You didn't understand why the Republican Party would endorse Spectre over Pat Toomey.
Politics is politics.
It is a business, it has it has requirements.
And uh the Lisa Murkowski is the Republican.
I I have had so many people ask me why the Republican Party is not so embracing of the Tea Party, and and it's I got I'm glad I get the question because it's a good way to be educational informative people about what we're dealing with.
The Tea Party is about overthrowing the establishment.
The Tea Party.
Folks, here's the thing about the Tea Party, and this if we're going to be consistent, and I must say this.
A lot of us, I'll include myself in this.
We elect Republicans and they head to Washington, and in one way or another, they let us down.
They join the ruling class or they uh fail to govern as they promised they would when they campaign.
Their conservatism sort of fades away.
And when this happens, we always say, we're not gonna vote for these people again, we're gonna vote for real conservatives.
And what this is done, the combination of the the party being created and evolving, a lot of people who have no previous ties to politics and are not at all sophisticated in the world of party politics have decided that it's worth running for office and enduring the media anal exam and all of the insulting criticism they're gonna get because they've heard the call.
They've they've they themselves have complained about uh Republicans getting into Washington and failing to govern as they had promised.
And so they said, okay, I'm gonna do it.
I'm and and it's at that point that they need to be supported.
And especially because it's at that point that the establishment, including the media, starts ripping these people as neophytes, inexperienced goombas, they have no clue what they're doing and so forth.
They try to besmirch them and they try to make it embarrassing to publicly support these people.
And unfortunately, it works with some people who are embarrassed.
What do you think the Palin business?
You know, Palin is a great example of what I'm talking about.
They tried to they try to embarrass as many Republicans as possible into not supporting Palin from the moment she was named the vice presidential running mate by by McCain, and it continues to this day.
Insulting her, attacking her, making uh make it embarrassing, and it works with people.
I can't tell you the number of Republicans who, on the one hand, complain, whine, and moan to me about all the Republican sellouts in Washington, who then start complaining that Palin doesn't have the smarts, she doesn't have the experience, she needs to go to policy school, and I've I have lost my temper a couple of times with people in my own home.
Because I'm listening to people complain about Democrats, complain about Obama, complain about liberals, and they fully understand Obama's the worst thing that could have happened to America in terms of our economy, traditions, and so forth.
And then Palin's name comes up, and they say, well, we can't have she's not smart enough, she's not bright enough, and I look at them and I say, compared to who?
Compared to Joe Biden, compared to Harry, who's she sm who's she dumber than?
Would you rather have Obama?
Oh no, but I want somebody that can win.
Well, tell me who it is.
You tell me who packs arenas more than Palin does right now.
And at the time we're having these discussions last summer and uh and and after the convention and so forth and after the election, I say, who's who's who's creating more excitement among Republicans in an electoral sense than Palin is?
Well, it still embarrasses me.
Well, who the hell are you?
What do you know about the Indian subconscious?
Well, I just don't think she's going.
How do you even know what she knows or don't know?
You're falling full prey to what media critics and the Democrats are saying about why why do you want to be so easily swayed?
Why I ask these people, and I I really a couple occasions was shouting, why do you want to echo the very people On every other day of the week, you rip people like the media, people like Democrats, as people you know you can't trust, you know they lie.
Why all of a sudden we start talking about Palin, and now any of the other Tea Party people like like Sharon Angle, why do you want to believe them?
So the dichotomy is people want outsiders and they want challenges and they want people who've not been part of the system.
And then when some people show up who are outsiders and not part of the system, some of our people that want that then say, well, I don't think they're not polished enough.
What do you mean not polish?
If we're gonna fix this, it's gonna have to be made up of people who who have enough passion and care enough to run the gauntlet of having their personal lives exposed, running the ricks of risk of having the political establishment, both Republican and Democrat in the media destroy them and their lives, their families and so forth, with never-ending criticism publicly.
We can't on the one hand sit here and ask, well, we're the good people.
How come we have the same old people?
She has a new people pop up, and then we start savaging them.
I'm just saying this because it ought to be ought to come as no surprise that the Republican establishments go out there and do whatever they can to protect Lisa Murkowski.
She is an incumbent.
They raise a lot of money on her behalf, and let it open your eyes.
If if you are among those who don't quite understand, if you think that party loyalty is based on issues, don't make that mistake.
It is with with a lot, but not all.
I but I really remember getting um I got so mad I had to apologize to one guy, because I literally lost it.
I'm listening to this guy who I don't think he could find the Indian subcontinent on map.
I don't think he, I don't think he could have found half the stuff we talk about or knew about it, but he was convinced Palin was a was a dull and would be an embarrassing thing for the Republican Party, would be a guaranteed loser.
I said, Well, what do you want?
You want to win with somebody you're gonna end up criticizing as being unfaithful and so forth.
It's a something if you really, really mean it, that you want challengers from outside the system, true outsiders, when they show up, and you know what it takes, you enter the political arena, and you're not a liberal Democrat, you know that the moment you show any potential of rallying people or winning an election, they're gonna come out and destroy you.
Palin's a great classic example of that.
They'll always tell us who they fear.
There's nothing I said to this guy.
If they if they really thought Palin was the blithering idiot that they say she is, they wouldn't be worried about her.
Anyway, let me take a brief time out here, folks.
Rush Limbaugh making most of every precious broadcast second, saying more in ten seconds than many say in a career.
Hi, welcome back.
El Rushmore, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
The uh ruling class in the Murkowski vote, they're gonna find some missing ballots.
I don't care whether it's Republicans or Democrats, they're gonna find them already.
There are rumors of found ballots.
This is before they get to the absentees.
I'm telling you the truth.
Murkowski is refusing to go away quietly.
She's allowing her campaign to float the idea of a third party bid or a write-in candidacy if she ends up losing this.
There you go.
There you go, and a third party bid is gives gonna is gonna do that's gonna give that seat to a Democrat, currently held by a Republican.
There you go.
And you might so you say, well, doesn't she care about the party?
Well, what do you think?
She first and foremost cares about herself.
Is she gonna have an election here where there's 1,600 votes where she might lose by found ballots, election fraud?
What else is she gonna do?
You can't build a bridge of nowhere if you're not in the if you're not in the Senate.
Not that she anything to do with it.
I'm just speaking euphemistically.
So, yeah, she's toying with the idea of a third party.
And if she goes third party, where do you think the Republican Party will go?
With her or with the Tea Party candidate.
You think the GOP go with the Tea Party.
In Alaska, you think the Tea Party bit would the Tea Party candidate would have the support of the Republican Party?
We'll see.
I don't know.
The fact that I even have to ask the question is interesting to me.
Brad in Quincy, Michigan.
What is it?
Quin everybody knows Quincy is in Illinois.
Snerdley finds these.
Nothing wrong with Quincy, Michigan.
Nobody ever heard of it till Snerdley got a call from there.
Nothing.
No offense here, Brad.
I'm just mounting off.
How are you?
I'm good.
Good.
Welcome to the program.
Yes, Rush.
I just wanted to run uh funny kind of thing past you, at least in my mind.
Uh years ago, about 33, I got hired in to the Ohio State Auditor's Office as a token Republican.
And uh luckily my boss was a token Republican, so we got along pretty well.
Well, uh one day I was called into the office, and a uh fellow employee was in there for disciplinary action.
So they had me come in as a witness.
And uh my boss, before things got so politically correct, was very direct and asked the token employee.
He said, Listen, John, which is not his real name, but I have to be careful.
Uh he asked the token employee.
John, we have a problem here.
You are either lazy, you're incompetent, or you're a liar.
Or D. Brad, hang on, I gotta take a break here, but I uh don't go away.
We're gonna get your call, we come back.
I can't Obama applied for a job or was working in Quincy, Michigan 33 years ago.
We are back to Brad in Quincy, Michigan.
So you're in there, you've got uh Tolkien Boston, you're the token employee, and somebody else is uh been called to the carpet.
Pick up the story where I had to interrupt you.
Well, anyway, my boss asked the uh employee, John.
We have problems here.
You are either lazy, you are incompetent, you're a liar, or D, you're all three.
Now, in your opinion, would you pick A, B, C, or D on Obama?
Or would you uh well, I guess that's the question.
Well, um, is he incompetent and or liar and or lazy?
Yes.
Um, yeah, but I mean, so are a lot of people.
I I think I think to uh to get to Obama, we need to go a little bit deeper.
And uh let me focus mostly on the lazy.
Because I think I think the lazy, if if, for example, here he's in his sixth vacation, he really doesn't appear to work very hard, gets to the oval orifice at 9.30 in the morning.
Bush got in there at seven.
Uh Reagan got in there at seven, took a nap at 7.15, got back to work at 10.
Just kidding, tweaking the left.
But Bush Bush got in there early.
Obama is late.
He doesn't spend a lot of time in there.
Uh but I don't think it's laziness.
I think it is arrogance.
I think Obama thinks himself is above the job.
I don't think he likes the job as much as you thought he was gonna like it.
I I uh I don't think he likes the White House.
I think he looks at the White House as confining.
I think one of the reasons all these vacations is he gets out of there.
He and his wife do not like living there.
To them, the White House is not great place of honor.
It's uh it's a lot, it's a prison, and a lot of presidents have felt that it's a it's a prison, but to them, uh it's it's it's like like some African Americans say Fourth of July ain't no big deal to me, yo.
Well, the White House to a lot of African Americans, the same thing.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff that came out of there by presidents that were in there that they're not particularly happy about.
I don't think for me, if I were president, you couldn't get me out of the place.
And I would be, I'd be up till all hours walking through every nook and cranny to learn as much about the place as I could.
Uh and I and I would have the historian escorting me to say, okay, why is this room?
What happened in here?
Why are these things on the wall?
What's the I'd want to know everything about the place?
Um I I would want to learn such things as Lincoln bedroom is not a bedroom.
It wasn't Lincoln's.
Lincoln's bedroom is with the second floor, is where Lincoln's office was.
There was no West Wing.
So the president's office was on the residential floor upstairs.
And I didn't even know if it was a residential floor at the time Lincoln was president, but His office was up there.
You know, I have spent the night in the Lincoln bedroom, right across the hall from it, it's the Queen's bedroom.
And there are two or three guest bedrooms.
One of the funny stories that I remember is that after my night, it was in 1992, in the summertime that I had uh spent the night in the White House of George H. W. Bush, president, Roger Ayles and I spent the night there that night.
And I got to know the usher.
They were all big fans.
And it was like a hotel room.
You could leave a wake-up call.
This isn't the same floor that the president's wife lived.
It's big floor, obviously.
But you could order coffee from quote unquote room service.
It'll be a uniform steward that would bring it to you.
And I got to know all these people.
And when uh when Clinton won the election, I remember Harry Thomason and his wife Linda Bloodworth Thomason talking about how they couldn't wait to slink sleep in the Lincoln's bedroom after Clinton was inaugurated.
So through um channels, I reached people that I had met in the White House.
Could I leave a note that you would leave for Harry and Linda on the pillow in the Lincoln bedroom the night that they're in there?
And it happened to be inauguration weekend, I think, that they spent with it.
And uh took a while, but a couple weeks came back, and they said, sure.
So I wrote a note, and a note said, Dear Harry and Linda, never forget this.
I was here first, and I will be back.
Signed your buddy Rush, put it in an envelope, and then you just wonder if it ever happens.
So, not long after the Immaculation inauguration, Harry Thomason is on C-SPAN.
He tells the story.
Yeah, so Linda and I get into the Lincoln bedroom, it's a long night, we get in there, and when they pull the covers back, and there's this envelope on the pillow.
So we open it up, and it's a note from Rush Limbaugh.
And I heard this and I said, yes, because then I knew they had seen the note.
You couldn't keep me out of the place.
Uh I would when it came vacation time, yeah, I might leave, go play copper, whatever, Camp David.
But Christmas time, I would be there.
What a beautiful time.
Thanksgiving, I would be there.
Easter, I would be there.
And I would invite, you know, places I usually go, I would invite friends and family there.
They would consider it an honor too.
This bunch gets out of there as fast as they can.
And they uh, you know, another reason that I wouldn't travel on Christmas is a secret service.
Half of them wouldn't have to go and leave their families.
I mean, that but that that's just me.
Now I know this is a roundabout answer, but I'm I'm getting there.
I think Obama has spoiled.
I I think for his entire life, he has been told how special he is, and he has believed it.
And I think for reasons which are very, very obvious to me, that I'm not gonna spend time detailing.
I think Obama's had so many guardian angels.
This was a guy who frankly was never going to be allowed to fail.
That's why when I said I hope he fails, they all had their proverbial cow.
Because if Obama's at Harvard and does C or D work, he's gonna get an A. There's somebody covering for him at every step of the way.
Charmed life or what have you, for whatever reason.
I know the reasons.
I'm not gonna waste time explaining them.
It'd be a great media tweak, but they wouldn't get it.
So I is that laziness or is it um you know Obama?
I think he wants to run the world.
This is this White House, this country too small, too small for him.
As to incompetent, that's like is he smart or dumb?
We have to define competent or incomp.
If his purpose is to restructure the American economy from capitalism to socialism, he's pretty competent.
If he really is serious, that he thinks he's got the best ideas on creating jobs, then he's incompetent.
So to answer that, we'd have to know what his real purpose is rather than just surmise.
I'm pretty sure I know what his purpose is.
Nobody who really wanted to create jobs revive an economy would do what he's doing and stick to it.
Now, liar, it's a Democrat.
Well, more do you need to know?
He's a liberal.
What more do you need to know?
He's a socialist.
What more do you need to know?
They lie by definition, they have to lie.
If Obama had told you what his plans were, he wouldn't not got 30% of the vote.
No liberal ever would.
So as usual, a question like that's not easily answerable without getting into um much detail.
In fact, Jennifer Rubin, way back, I kept this because this she wrote something that is um right along the lines of of what I think about Obama.
This is August 19th in commentary, The Perils of Praise.
To be blunt, Obama suffers from a lifetime of others excessively praising his intellect.
It insulates him from ideas and facts that conflict with his pre-existing liberal rubric.
Uh so every economist believed the stimulus would work.
It leaves him unprepared to engage in real debate with informed opponents, like at the healthcare summit.
He didn't know what to do with Paul Ryan.
He had no clue other than to stare daggers at him.
It skews his understanding of how geopolitics works as he imagines that his own wonderfulness can sway adversaries and override nations' fundamental interests, right in the Middle East.
He really thought that his presence alone would so dazzle Mahmoud Ahmed and his ad that he'd give up the nuclear program.
Really thought that.
Jennifer Rubin believes he really believes this.
So he's delusional.
But he believes this because he's been told this.
It's like Tiger Wood's dad, if you'll recall, said that Tiger was going to be bigger than Nelson Mandela.
He's going to have a bigger impact on bringing people together and all the and I'm listening to this, and I said, okay, dad's a dad and a father's a father.
There's no way Tiger Woods is going to endanger any endorsements by entering the Nelson Mandela world.
So you remember Margaret Carlson, when when when Obama had blundered into this mosque business, and at the Iftar dinner at the White House, made it clear he supports the Hamas being built there.
Well, it was time for the media to get in gear.
And Margaret Carlson said he's too smart for us.
He is so supremely confident in his intellect that he forgets on his way to the correct decision to slow down and pick up all of us not so gifted stragglers.
That's what she honestly believes.
And Matthews, a lot of these people believe that he's so smart we can't keep up with him.
And I'm sure people all of his life have thought that and told him that.
So he's grown up believing it.
He's illusional.
Tiger Wood's dad said he would bring more people together than Mandela.
And in a physical sense, it may be true.
Did you hear Tiger shot the best round of golf today?
The first day after his divorce is final or second day.
Best round of golf since the whole thing happened last Thanksgiving.
He shot a 65 today in the Barclays, which is uh in New Jersey.
Best round of golf occurs after the divorce with Elon is final.
What it tells me is the sports writer community is just panting, hoping that this means Tiger's back, that he wins the tournament, goes on and makes the Wyder Cup team with no controversy attached to it.
It doesn't tell me anything else.
Snirdly.
It doesn't tell me anything else.
I mean, it could be a whole It could be hilarious.
don't know what you'd get.
So the final analysis.
I mean, one way, you gotta say Obama's smart.
Sometimes you let the mosque slip down, but uh uh there's no question that the guy has intellect, but that doesn't say though.
The common sense uh Street Smart and so forth, there's no substitute for that.
Confidential information for 126,000 students and employees at six Florida community colleges were publicly available on the internet for five days, according to a state library service.
I mean library for those of you in Rio Linda.
A spokeswoman for the College Center for Library Automation would not identify the specific information exposed, other than to say it was protected by a Florida statute and did not include financial information or library records.
That means the information probably includes student names and social security numbers and driver's license information, and that's all you need to know.
This stuff was online available May 29th or June the second, and that means it was available for one and all to find accidentally or on purpose on the internet, and that means that some of these people probably had their identity stolen, and that means life has become hell for them.
Need not happen to you.
There's only one person you should ever give your social security number to, and it's life lock.
I'll have mine.
That's the only way to keep other people from stealing it and using it.
Well, they might steal it, they might get hold of it.
They can't use it.
The life lock alertity uh identity alert system.
See somebody swipes your I your social security number, gets credit card with it, goes to use it.
The moment that happens, the experts at LifeLock are informed.
And you get a call.
Are you trying to buy a bunch of condoms out of a machine at a shell station on Martha's Vineyard?
And you say, No, that's not me.
That's how it works.
That's how the identity alert system works, and it's the best in the business, and they will not sell the information they get from you.

Yeah.
That uh presently with U.S. tax money, they're spending uh U.S. tax money on in 55 countries to restore, refurbish, or otherwise improve minarets and mosques.
Where did you hear that?
I heard it on the Michael Savage program, and it's on his website.
Uh, that they're using my tax money.
To remodel, refurbish, or restore mosques and or minarets in 55 countries throughout the world.
My tax money, you said they're using my tax money.
Everybody's tax money.
Oh, everybody's tax money.
Happens to be true.
Uh it was reported in the Washington Times in April.
Our ambassador to Tanzania participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, uh, William, to celebrate the refurbishment of a 12th-century mosque in Tanzania.
The United States taxpayer provided funds to help the project all along.
Uh and it was not just that one.
They provided financial assistance to say of another mosque in Cairo.
This mosque was named after a Muslim conqueror who defeated Christians in Egypt.
So, yes.
May I make a comment also?
I got 25 seconds.
Uh people, when they speak of um Obama being Muslim, they're not speaking of his declared religious affiliation.
They're probably speaking of what's in his heart.
He's at least a sympathizer.
Every action has been positive towards any Muslim affair.
There hasn't been a neutral or a negative comment or action he's taken.
That's why people think he's a Muslim.
Because in his heart, he acts that way.
Okay.
I appreciate the call.
That's uh William in Westfield, New Jersey.
And we got to take a brief time out.
Look at the time.
Time is zipping by here like I cannot believe.
