Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Yeah, I was at a campaign rally in Philadelphia.
They threw a book at Obama.
Obama's out there and it yet streaked.
Obama got streaked.
Guy was paid a million dollars to do a Sanford and son in front of Obama.
Guy streaked him.
Obama didn't notice either the book or the streaker because he couldn't take his eyes off a teleprompter.
Now, Bush, when they threw the shoe at Bush when he's in Iraq, Bush had the athletic reflexes necessary to duck and get out of the way.
We still don't know what the book thrown at Obama was.
It would be juicy if it was his own.
Like Audacity of Hope Smack.
Anyway, greetings, folks, great to have you here.
You know what this is, you know who I am, and you know how we do it, so we don't waste time telling you.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address Lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
We watched a movie over the weekend Secretariat.
It's a um really, really I was I was surprised it's a good movie, and I saw a review of this movie.
If there's anything that indicates the cultural divide that we're in, I mean, Secretariat, it's a Disney movie, and it's all about never quitting, never giving up.
I, you know, I was 22 years old when Secretariat won the triple crown, and it was 1973, and I had just left home and I was I was uh starting in my radio career, and I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the details.
I just knew the horse won the triple crown.
I had forgotten how phenomenal the horse was, and I did not know any of the backstory of the uh horse's ownership or syndicate, which is what the movie is uh is is really all about.
A woman who didn't know a thing about the horse business inherits it.
Everybody in her family and outside says you gotta sell it.
She's offered eight million for the horse, what she owes six million to stay afloat.
She turns it down because she's believing that the horse can win the triple crown to be worth three times that.
She turns out to be right, but everybody tells her she can't do it.
I mean, the values here are superb, and there's this review in Salon.com of this movie that slams secretariat as a tea party fantasy.
I mean, here is a movie about standard good old fashioned you can do it if you put your mind to it values, and it gets slammed by a guy.
When you first read this review, you think it's a satire, and as you keep going, you find out that this guy is is is dead serious.
Uh in its totalitary uh totality secretariat is a work of creepy, half-hilarious master race propaganda, almost worthy of Lenny Reifenstahl, which was uh she was Hitler's videographer, and all the more effective because it presents as a family-friendly yarn about a nice lady and her horse.
I mean, everything nothing in the in the movie is not true, and this is said to be a half-hilarious master race propaganda, almost worthy of Lenny Reifenstall Secretariat, actually goes much further, presenting a honey-dipped fantasy version of the American past as the Tea Party would like to imagine it, loaded with uplift and glory and scrubbed clean of multiculturalism and social discord.
None of the nothing could be further from the truth.
It's 1973.
Her own kids are hippies.
They're going to Woodstock, they're blowing weed, they're having doobies.
The woman's out there trying to save her father's horse farm.
Happens to be she wins a coin toss and gets the fold that produces Secretariat, and the rest is history.
And this, you know, it it really is fascinating.
I uh I I tell people that um here we are in in 2010, and I say the media always hated Ronald Reagan.
The media hated Richard Nixon.
We've always had a partisan political divide, but the abject hatred that is aimed at decent middle-of-the-road Americans by the mainstream cultural left is something like I've never seen before.
There is nothing in this movie to hate.
There's nothing in this movie to dislike.
It's a harmless movie.
In fact, it's it's up.
Even I, uh, ladies and gentlemen, El Rushbow.
And Catherine, we're watching it together.
I got a little misty-eyed at the end of this movie.
I wouldn't normally admit that to you people.
You know, supposed to be Mr. Tough and Gruff and so forth.
I got misty-eyed.
I mean, I'm trying when I start crying, I actually suppress it, try not to.
Uh, and so I I clear my throat, and I uh what am I I mean it was I was stunned.
I've you know, I've saw Seabiscuit, I've seen horse movies, but I didn't know the backstory to this.
And I mean, I wasn't even gonna spend that much time talking about it.
You know me, I don't talk about movies until I read this review at Salon.com.
Again, in its totality, Secretariat's a work of creepy, half-hilarious master race propaganda, almost worthy of Hitler's videographer, and all the more effective because it presents as a family-friendly yarn about a nice lady and her horse.
And Secretariat actually goes much further, presenting a honey-dipped fantasy vision of the American past as the Tea Party would like to imagine it, loaded with uplift and glory, and scrubbed clean of multiculturalism and social discord.
I mean, there was all kinds of multiculturalism.
You had the groom is black, the uh the other trainer is French Canadian portrayed by Jewish guy.
Diane Lane, no conservative plays that plays the lead role here, Penny Tweety.
I mean, her kids, a couple of them, you know, maggot-infested long-haired rock and roller types blowing doobies.
And this guy says that there's no multiculturalism in it.
In fact, this woman's husband, I mean, you could reverse the roles, this woman's husband gets mad because she's never home.
She's off running the family business, 1973.
The feminazis should love this.
The feminazis should could should should go to Penny Chennery was her maiden name, latch on to this and say this is what we were talking about.
Except she didn't have an abortion.
Maybe the feminazis couldn't watch in her for that.
But regardless, to say that this thing is milk toast and pure fantasy and all this hunky-dory little uh uh so sweet that you can get an insulin shock from it is ridiculous.
Well, I I I don't this this what's this guy's name?
Uh what is his name?
Andrew O'H I don't even know how to pronounce this.
O apostrophe H-E-H-I-R.
O'Heer?
Probably O'Hare.
Probably pronounced O'Hare.
And this is this actually, the guy obviously feels threatened by the movie.
I had no idea.
It opened this weekend.
I had no idea how it did.
Um the year Secretariat won the Triple Crown, this is from the review, was the year the Vietnam War ended and a Watergate hearings began.
You could hardly pick a period in post-Civil War American history more plagued by chaos and division and general insanity.
Okay, well, you could pick right now, maybe.
Wallace references the social context in the most glowing or glancing and dismissive manner possible.
Penny's eldest daughter depicted as a teen anti-war activist, but our heroine's double life as a Denver housewife and Virginia horse farm owner proceeds pretty much as if the 50s had gone on forever.
The words Vietnam and Nixon are never uttered.
Well, I don't know what Nixon of Vietnam had to do with Secretariat.
I don't know that Secretariat ever knew him.
Secretariat was a horse.
Sports, you have to call horse racing a sport.
Sports has always been an escape from the daily humdrum.
Sports has always been fantasy island for people.
It's what most of us wish we could do.
Wish we had the talent to do.
Wish we had the ability.
That's what that's the beauty of spectator sports.
It's the one thing I always say, in which you can totally invest passion without consequence.
You can't do that in any other area of life.
You're always guarded with your team.
You'll give them everything you got.
The only thing he'll do, though may disappoint you and lose.
Of course, my team did kick me out of the stadium once, but normally that doesn't happen.
It happens to me, but I was able to take it, rebounded well from it, as is evidenced by the fact that I'm still here.
It really is a it's a fun movie, and for those of you who um this horse won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths.
I had forgotten that.
I don't know that I ever knew it at the time.
And the theory was this horse couldn't last that long in the Belmont star, you know, and it the horse's uh history was to start last in the pack and then accelerate for the whole race and win.
And the same thing happened at Belmont, only five horses in the final.
It never trailed, and 31 lengths.
That was, it was it's never been done since.
Not even close.
Uh and for somebody, there's nothing in this movie to feel threatened by.
There's nothing in this movie to dislike.
The only thing in this movie is to be informed, educated, enlightened, inspired.
Uh well, what part made me cry?
Well, um, just the ending.
Just the the whole when everything came together.
That the the movie, it's it kind of starts slow.
The one thing for me that saved is I knew what was gonna happen.
I knew the horse won the triple crown.
You know, so you sit for that.
Sound like when I watched a stoning of Soraya M. I knew what was going to happen.
Title, Stoning of Soraya M. I knew Soraya M's gonna get stoned.
So you wait for the movie for that to happen.
This thing starts a little slow, but if you don't know the backstory, it's faster, which I didn't.
I had no clue of the backstory.
Look, I was 22.
I was on the pathway to stardom.
I was totally absorbed in me.
I didn't know the backstory here.
So this was a wonderful expensive two hours and two minutes.
Uh and Catherine and I watched, we didn't start watching until 10 o'clock on uh Friday night.
We had other things to do, and then uh watched the movie, did some other things after that, which it was um it's a great way to spend a Friday night.
I I I tell you, I no, we're not gonna watch the Bachelorette.
Bachelorette's not on, Snerdly.
The season has ended.
What's on is dancing with the stars.
You you are no, we're gonna be watching the uh of the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets tonight.
That's what we're gonna be doing.
Anyway, I got a brief time out here, folks.
Um lots going on.
Oh, before we before before before we go to break, before we go to break, audio sound bite.
You know, I've often remarked how similar to when you listen to the Iranian lunatic president Mahmoud Ahmedini Zad speak.
He sounds just like any Democrat.
America's rotten, America lies.
All this sounds just like any Democrat running for office.
I've often remarked that if I were a Democrat, I'd be embarrassed.
To have somebody like Ahmedini Zad mouthing everything I believe.
So last night on C-SPAN's after words.
You ever heard of this program?
I've not.
After words?
It's two words, not afterwards, but after words.
On C-SPAN, what is their after words?
Nothing but a shot of the house chamber.
The guest was Arthur Human Mazd.
His book, The Ayatollah Begs to Differ.
This week's interviewer was Columbia University Iranian Studies Professor Hamid Dabashi.
And Hamid Debashi asks, author Human Majid, how about Ahmadini Zad?
What is your assessment of Ahmedini Zad?
Listen to the plays to the audience, whoever the audience is.
If he's talking to Iranian Americans, he'll sound like John Kerry.
If he's talking to a hardline audience of Vasijis, he'll sound like Rush Limbaugh.
The Iranian Rush tries to come across a nationalistic Persian hero is fighting for the rights of Iran.
This is a first.
This is the first.
Mahmoud Ahmedini Zad, who is a parrot of the Democrat National Committee, uh is now said to sound like me, or maybe verse visa.
But I am said to sound like Mahmoud Achmedini Zad.
And of course, they still haven't gotten over the he's a jackass comment.
Last Friday night CNN situation room, uh Brian Todd, the correspondent, had a report on me calling Imam Obama a jackass.
This is how it sounded.
Right wing commentator Rush Limbaugh levels this broadside on President Obama during his radio show.
It's a jackass.
He's an economic illiterate.
He's an economic ignoramus.
Does it reflect a certain mentality on the campaign trail and on the political discourse overall this year?
It reflects a mentality of mean-spiritedness that people are not focusing on the issues.
They're insulting the opposition.
So it uh reflects uh mentality of the mean spiritedness.
Uh from the group of people like here's Obama out there now trashing the Chamber of Commerce as a foreign interest, trashing the Chamber of Commerce, people not focusing on the issues.
That whole jackass comment came after a brilliant erudition of the issues and how Obama is an economic illiterate.
Anyway, just to show you, my friends, your host everywhere, from Iran, C-Span to CNN, and of course here the EIB network, where we will continue after this obscene profit timeout.
Don't go away.
And we're back, Rush Limb Boy, as always, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
You know, if the horse secretariat, if the owner had married the horse, the end of the movie, perhaps, on the left and the reviewer at Salon.com might have seen fit to enjoy the movie.
And that's really, folks, that's the last I'm going to say about it, but it's it's it's absurd to see anything.
I mean, uh what really strikes me is is the is the I guess the struggle and the the um the country has.
There's nothing in secretariat, there's nothing but just wholesome decency, and for people to be threatened by that.
Uh to want to take comfort in the fact that that no longer is what defines America.
That's a problem to me.
That's an indication of uh where we find ourselves, not just politically, but culturally as well.
And it's made even worse.
You know, Obama last week, he's out there camping, he's not even on the ballot.
He's out there campaigning for other people.
He tells the audience, which is by the way, stocked, they've put out a casting call for actors at Obama's appearances now.
And he says, uh, no, don't don't, don't make me look bad.
No, make me look bad out there.
The problem is he's already done that himself.
He solved the problem of his supporters making him look bad.
He beat him to it.
Unemployment, the deficit.
You know, I'll bet you the real unemployment in this country is closer to they say that the U6 is 17.1 to 17.5.
I'll bet it's closer to 20% unemployment.
And Obama and people at the regime are trying to tell everybody that 10%, 9.6 to 10% is the new norm.
And so now we have a spy, ladies and gentlemen, our staff is everywhere.
We have a spy that gets regular dispatches from Obama's website organizing for America.
Our spot.
Well, I can't give the spy's name.
Because then the organizer America people will know it, but Dear SPY.
This is a threat to our democracy.
This is a dispatch on the on the email and internet from organizing for America, which is Obama's website.
This is a threat to our democracy.
And if we just stand by and allow the special interests to silence anybody who's got the gust of sand up to them, our country is going to be a very different place.
That's what the president just said about the Chamber of Commerce.
A right wing group spending $75 million to beat Democrats this fall and reportedly taking money from foreign operations, some even owned by foreign governments.
Are you kidding me?
Obama is the only man on the planet that thinks he still looks good, and to come out with this, the Chamber of Commerce.
You want to smear the Chamber of Commerce as a right wing foreign group that has been infiltrated.
I don't care what Obama's supporters do to not make him look bad, they can't overcome himself, making himself look bad.
In just two years, this guy has accomplished the impossible.
He's made himself look worse than Jimmy Carter.
And you can only do that by trying.
And he's managed to pull it off.
He did it without the help of Bill Ayers.
He did it without the help of Jeremiah Wright.
I mean, Barack Obama is a self-made failure.
And now to come out with this business, and it got so bad.
Let me a couple sound bites.
This is uh this is an ad, face the nation.
Bob Schiefer played a DNC ad for David Axelrod yesterday on Slay the Nation.
Carl Rove, Ed Gillespie, their Bush cronies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, their shills for big business.
And they're stealing our democracy.
Spending millions from secret donors to elect Republicans to do their bidding in Congress.
It appears they've even taken secret foreign money to influence our elections.
It's incredible.
Republicans benefiting from secret foreign money, tell the Bush crowd and the Chamber of Commerce, stop stealing our democracy.
The Democratic National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
I mean, even the New York Times has run up.
Even the Times is run a piece saying there is no foreign money.
This is a baseless charge.
Bob Schaefer, who's eager to spread the Obama agenda, CBS News basically said to David Axarell, is this the best you've got for me this morning?
And Axelrod says, Yeah, they gotta prove that there isn't foreign money involved.
Well, how do you prove a negative?
Here's Schiefer after that ad to Axelrod.
Do you I guess I would put it this way?
If the only charge uh three weeks into the election that the Democrats can make is that there's somehow this may or may not be foreign money coming into the campaign.
Is that the best you can do?
Now here's Bob Schaeffer.
You know, he's he's desperate for Obama to come back to Democrats to wipe the Republican slate clean.
He's really hoping for big stuff from the Messiah, and he says to Axel, is this the best you've got for me?
That's how weak it is.
That not even the state-controlled media can get on board.
Much more straight ahead.
Do not go away.
And we're back.
El Rushville having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
So here's Obama and Axelrod out there with this charged the Chamber of Commerce.
It's like saying the Rotary Club.
It's like saying the Lions Club.
It's like saying the VFW is a bunch of foreign infiltrators.
I mean, this is this is bottom of the barrel.
Desperation conspiracy stuff.
And of course, the media, well, not all of them, even Bob Schiefer.
I mean, I folks, I think it's here, play grab number 11 again.
I f this is hilarious.
Axarod comes on TV, plays this ad, and you have to know now.
Put yourself in Schiefer's position.
This is not looking good for Schiefer.
CBS, the whole state control media.
All the polls say it's going to be a Republican sweep in November.
These guys are hoping that Obama, Mr. Brilliant, the Messiah's got some magic pull out of his hat and make sure this Republican sweep doesn't happen.
They got Axelod coming on the show, and they're they're just busting buttons with so much anticipation.
It's Christmas morning to them.
Axelrod coming on to announce the grand strategy to make sure the Republicans win nothing.
They play that ad.
Foreign money has corrupted the Chamber of Commerce, and Bob Schiefer says.
Do you I guess I would put it this way?
If the only charge uh three weeks into the election that the Democrats can make is that there's somehow this may or may not be foreign money coming into the campaign.
Is that the best you can do?
I mean, Schiefer is almost embarrassed.
Is that all you got for me today?
This this from the party of Charlie Tree.
Let's not forget Charlie Tree, John Huang.
So who was uh was it Charlie Tree that owned a Chinese restaurant in Little Rock?
Yeah, China Charlie Tree, John Huang.
Tom Brokaw went to find the Huang bunch in China, and we had all kinds of China the People's Liberation Army was sending uh missiles and rockets into the uh Long Beach Harbor.
Uh all those money orders, foreign money.
I mean, for they were in corrupting the nuns.
Remember, Al Gore said there's no controlling legal authority.
White House coffees for crying up.
The selling the Lincoln bedroom.
And of course, the media gloss over.
Obama, in his campaign, when he accepted Allah knows how many credit card donations from under $200.
You know, that's a limit.
No, Allah knows.
Lord knows, all of those.
It's a it's a little play on Imam Obama.
Anyway, the way that you get around having to identify all your donors is to make them $200 donations or less.
All these credit card donations of $200 million.
Remember, it was revolutionary.
Why, we'd never seen anything like it.
This amount of money raised on the internet.
Well, where did it come from?
Nobody knew.
They didn't have to disclose any of that.
Uh this resulted in the possibility of millions in foreign donations to the Obama campaign.
These were amounts in odd dollars and cents, which indicated donations have been made using a foreign exchange rate.
And of course, lest we forget Obama's campaign knowingly Turned off the automatic address check verification on credit card donations so they wouldn't know where these donations were coming from.
So it's a case projection.
When the left, when a Democrats accuses you of doing something, it's generally something they're doing themselves.
And that's how they know that it's been done.
BP.
BP, big donors to Obama.
You know this.
BP is a foreign company.
BP is over there in the UK.
And BP, for all their effort, they donated all this money, he still shook them down for a 20 million dollar slush fund.
And still we have the drilling moratorium.
Foreign money.
Here's Axelrod responding to Schiefer and actually calling the Chamber of Commerce a threat to democracy.
The Republican Party and these interest groups who are now the major force in some of these campaigns want to turn the clock back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place that uh exploded our deficits that put the special interests in control to write their own rules, the oil industry, Wall Street, insurance industry that presided over economic policies that punish the middle class.
Why is the oil industry, the uh Wall Street, and others spending this kind of money to defeat candidates and elect others in this sort of secretive way.
And uh, you know, that is a threat to our democracy.
The oil business contributed to your guy.
BP, we just mentioned it.
Huge donors to Obama.
Hell folks, Obama took money from Hamas.
The terrorist group in Gaza.
And who knows?
Wherever else.
The Associated Press.
This is stunning.
A new Democrat TV ad all but accuses the U.S. Chamber of Commerce using foreign funds to secretly back Republican congressional candidates, igniting a furious round of denials and counteraccusations from Republicans.
Democrats presented no evidence to substantiate the charge.
This is unheard of.
Normally, the way this works is Axel Rod, Obama make a charge, the state-run media picks it up and run to the Republicans, demanding that they deny this and show proof that they are not accepting foreign money.
But here, the AP says Democrats presented no evidence normally, you know it's the seriousness of the charge.
The nature of the evidence is irrelevant.
If the charge is against a conservative or Republican, that's all that matters, how serious is the charge.
There's any evidence?
Nah, it doesn't matter.
Charge is serious, that's why you're going to look into it.
Well, that template's been thrown upside down here.
A Democrat National Committee ad issued barely three weeks from elections in which their hold on House and Senate majorities appear shaky, calls the chamber, shills for big business, and says it's spending millions from anonymous donors to help Republican candidates.
It appears they're even taking secret foreign money to influence our elections, the ad says.
The commercials allegations echo remarks that Obama made in a speech last week.
They go on to recount the history of it.
But then they claim there's no evidence.
And the New York Times does the same.
No evidence whatsoever.
But the charge is out there and it continues to be made.
And Washington Post today, Obama continues attack on Chamber of Commerce.
This is all coordinated.
Starts last week, goes through the weekend.
Obama picks it up.
And even the Washington Post says it's an allegation based on zero evidence.
And this from the party of John Huang and Charlie Tree and who knows who else.
So it's kind of interesting.
I I um, you know, the they're also accusing Ed Gillespie and Carl Rowe of setting up a group that's taking foreign money to run around and bash Democrat candidates.
Rove and Gillespie, of course, have I mean, they pale in comparison to the amount of money George Soros has raised for Democrats and how it's spent.
So the Democrats have one rule or set of rules for themselves.
If anybody tries to play by the same set of rules, they're condemned.
And then the foreign money stuff, I mean, that that's I tell you, it's it's a sign of of how panicked I think that they are.
I mean, look at it this way special interest money from foreign companies.
This is here the here.
Let me put it this way.
Obama's problem is not this.
Obama's problem is double digit unemployment.
Taxes about to skyrocket.
The deficit is out of control.
Generational theft.
People are worried that their kids and grandkids' lives will not be as prosperous as their own.
And to deal with that, Obama says special interest money is the big problem.
Did special interest money drive up unemployment?
Did special interest money raise taxes?
Special interest money balloon the deficit.
See, if I were the Republicans, of course I'm not.
But if I were, I would mock the heck out of this.
But I would do it with big picture facts.
Unemployment remains stuck near 10%, and I'd use the Gallup number, 10.1.
I'd use the U6 number, 17.1%.
The Obama Democrat deficits dwarf whatever deficits Bush had.
And Obama, but is that a sideshow conspiracy theory that the Chamber of Commerce is really a secret foreign operation designed to corrupt and pollute the United States.
Even the New York Times can't get behind this.
I just it's it's made to order if uh if a Republicans want to get in gear on this, they're still a little tepid, they're a little frightened that they're gonna be called racist if they go after this.
Plus the theory is when your opponent is making a fool of himself, the theory is just stand aside, get out of the way and let it continue.
So there's that aspect to it too.
A brief time out, we'll get to your phone calls when we come back.
El Rush Ball's serving humanity simply by being here.
Oh, by the way, it's a holiday, it's Columbus Day, and and uh a lot of people ask me every Monday holiday.
Why why are you here?
And because nobody ever tells me.
I'm not oriented toward holidays.
I'm not oriented towards sick days or vacation days.
This is not when I back in the old days when I interviewed for a job, I did not first ask how many sick days do I get, how many vacation days, uh, what's the didn't ask any of that.
And on these Monday holidays, I always feel like I kind of get screwed because nobody tells me that it's a holiday until I'm already here.
And the way I've adjusted to this is to say, well, it's okay.
Only the necessary actually show up.
Only the relevant.
So it's cool.
Sit tight, your phone calls coming up right after this.
Hey, folks, pssst.
Cut the cut the music a second here, Mike.
Pssst.
The media tweak of the day is coming.
Don't tell anybody.
Media tweak of the day is coming.
Speaking of foreign donations, we don't even know if Obama himself is not a foreign donation.
And welcome back, El Rush Ball, the EIB network.
It's Columbus Day today.
Folks, there is a story, a column in the Boston Globe today, the mixed legacy of 1492.
And you know what's about?
It's about the fact how unfair it was when the conquistadores and Columbus and these imperialistic oppressors showed up, they had immunity somehow against all the viruses that the natives, the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Caribs, uh, the Cubans, all that.
They didn't get sick.
But the Caribs, the Mayans, the Aztecs, they were not immune to the diseases that Columbus and the boys brought.
And and this guy's column is how unfair was that?
Why, you know, if it had been Columbus and the boys who had gotten sick and died out because of their lack of immunity to the diseases on the motherland here.
Why, it'd be a whole different story today.
I've multiculturalism is absurd anyway, but now this guy's wringing his hands over the fact it's just not fair.
Of course, these are the same people cite Darwin, survival of the fittest.
Love evolution.
But now they can't handle it when it works against them.
Or own theory.
The Spaniards, well, no, that's the whole Spaniards didn't get sick, Columbus didn't get sick.
Well, I mean, they got sick, but they didn't die out.
They has text of the Well, the well, one of the Okay, Snerdley, everybody wants to do show but me.
The statistics are from 25 million.
Here's the population of Mexico fell from 25 million in 1517 when Europeans first came there to one and a half million a century later.
So in a hundred years, twenty-five million to one and a half million in Mexico.
He forgets it all of them came here.
Uh the open borders policy even back then.
But this but it took a hundred years for the disease to wipe everybody out.
That's that's the theory.
In this sense, it's remarkably unfair.
And in one other population group, the Mayans of the Aztecs had 12 million when the conquistadores arrived, and one and a half million when it was too late to do anything about it.
And all because the white guy's immune systems were stronger than the natives.
And it's just, damn it, this is not fair.
So he writes lovingly about my what a different place this would be if it had been Columbus and the boys wiped out.
Because their immune systems weren't strong enough.
More on this book business.
Again, Obama's in Philadelphia.
They fired a book at him.
Good morning, America.
Juju Chang is the correspondent reporting on this.
There was this unscripted monet in Philadelphia Sunday.
Someone threw a book at the president but missed him.
It's unclear who tossed it.
Unscripted moment is how this is referred to.
Unscripted moment.
Somebody somebody versus the other ones which are scripted.
Unscripted.
Everything else is scripted, including the book.
Nobody knows who threw it.
Nobody knows what the book Obama never saw it.
As I said, his eyes were on the teleprompter.
Now let's do a flashback.
Remember when this Iranian nutcase threw his shoe at Bush over there in Baghdad.
A huge insult in this world.
The soul of a shoe, throwing a shoe.
Throwing a shoe is the greatest insult.
Equivalent to a Westerner rising the middle finger.
This really does show anger.
It is a severe insult to have shoes thrown at you.
It's a gesture of severe contempt.
This was not meant as a gag.
Shoe throwing is considered a deep insult.
In the Muslim world, you throw your shoe at someone, it is the worst kind of insult.
It's all the news there was when this happened.
And the media was upset that the shoe missed Bush.
Here we got a book thrown at the president in Philadelphia, not in Baghdad.
And it gets passing mention as an unscripted moment in Philadelphia.
And it's unclear who tossed.
I guarantee you, if it had been Bush up there and somebody thrown a book at him, the media would have found whoever threw it.
He'd be a guest and a hero on all the morning shows.
Quick phone call before we have to go to break Cincinnati.
Jason, great to have you on the EIB network.
You are up first.
Hello, sir.
How are you doing?
Thank you very much.
Hey, in regards to the foreigners, I wanted to.
Hang on just a second.
Hang on just a second.
Yes.
Nothing against you.
Just an observation.
Yes.
I want you to notice, folks, every caller asks me how I am and doesn't wait for the answer.
Okay, Jason, what were you going to say?
I'm sorry about that.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just going to be fun mood today.
Hey, in regards to this foreign money, I guess I'm confused.
Are we now to believe that after how many years of repressive Republican control and Bush, you know, anger and mismanagement, that the foreign money is now saying we want you guys back in power?
Am I to understand that?
That's an excellent point.
That is an because the foreign money was supposed to love Obama.
Uh America was hated because of Bush.
You're exactly right.
The world hated us.
Bush had embarrassed us, and now all of a sudden, the foreign money wants Obama gone.
And Obama himself is admitting it.
Obama himself is the source of the story.
That's excellent, Jason.
You've come up with something that I didn't come up with myself.
That never happens.
Well, I'm well, I'm the first one to do that.
Thank you very much.
You bet.
Thank you.
You bet.
Have a wonderful day.
It really doesn't happen much.
I gotta recover from this.
You know, this foreign money business, I I've just been reminded that Obama, during his first State of the Union message.
He said that citizens united decision would allow foreign governments to influence our elections.
And that's when uh Associate Justice Sam Alito shook his head and said untrue.
You know, Obama had personally insulted the court when they couldn't say anything back at the state of the union.
So that's how long this has been drooling, but uh brewing, but this is the the same party, and this is sort of a takeoff on what Jason just pointed out.
Same party wants us to devise our defense policy based on what foreign countries want us to do at the U. And the same party wants us to use foreign law to decide Supreme Court cases.
Same party wants to allow foreign workers to sneak over the border, work here, and become registered Democrats.
