Time Text
You know, Jim DeMint, Jim DeMint, I am envious.
Jim DeMint has done today what I normally do.
I've spent an hour here trying to categorize this Obama speech.
And I'll tell you why I goofed up.
I goofed up because I take this job seriously.
And I was trying to give you in-depth analysis and tell you what was wrong with this thing.
And it doesn't take two seconds to do it.
Jim DeMint had the best reaction.
It's from an interview at National Review Online.
Jim DeMint said, frankly, I can't believe what he says anymore.
It was really hard to take it seriously.
He was duplicitous.
It was hard to listen to the contradiction.
That nails it.
You just don't believe what he says.
You can't take it seriously.
I was trying in my analysis to you to take it seriously, but you can't.
Well, just because he's the president doesn't mean you have to.
But my point is snerdly that I could have done a better job for the audience in analyzing this rather than go through the hand-wringing here and trying to analyze it topic by topic and so forth.
I could have just said what DeMint said.
Folks, basically, I didn't take it seriously.
I don't know what to believe.
You don't believe anything he says.
Of course, I never have.
This is the thing.
Some people have, but it was.
It was genuinely mindless.
And all this, I was trying to be civil.
And this is what happens.
I was trying to be civil in that first hour.
I was trying to be respectful and analyze this in the serious vein in which it was ostensibly given.
And I ended up with diarrhea of the mouth.
And so normally doesn't happen.
Normally, it's people like DeMint quoting me.
So I realized I got to work even harder here.
I got to stop practicing golf more and get back into here.
That's for you at the stick to the issue scrub.
But DeMint is exactly right.
You can't believe what he says anymore.
It's hard to take seriously.
Here, I get my little game.
I told Cookie, go grab me three Obama soundbites.
I don't care what they are.
Don't work hard.
Don't study.
Don't find any specific.
Just pick three.
Like, throw a dartboard.
Throw a dart up there.
So she gave me June 2 of last year, February 1 of last year, and June 15th of last year.
And I defy you to tell me what's different.
So here he is.
This is at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh last June.
We have to build a new and stronger foundation for growth and prosperity.
And that's exactly what we've been doing for the last 16 months.
Really?
It's a foundation based on investments in our people and their future.
Investments in the skills and education we need to compete.
Investments in a 21st century infrastructure for America, from high-speed railroads to high-speed internet.
Investments in research and technology, like clean energy, that can lead to new jobs and new exports and new industries.
This new foundation is also based on reforms that will make our economy stronger and our businesses more competitive.
Reforms that will make health care cheaper, our financial system more secure, and our government less burdened with debt.
Sounds like a commentator, not a president.
Here's a guy.
Well, here's what we need to do.
We need to ramp up here.
We need to ramp up.
He's been in charge for two years.
He's basically trying to position himself as an outsider here, as a spectator.
This is what we need to do, forgetting for the fact he's been in charge of ostensibly fixing all of this, starting with the stimulus bill.
And after two years, no progress by his own admission.
But not because he hasn't tried, just because nobody has.
The Republicans are still the problem, or whatever is in his mind.
So that's so close to last night.
Scary.
Now, let's go to another one.
This is February 1, 2010, almost a year ago at the White House.
We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money, as if we can ignore this challenge for another generation.
We can't.
In order to meet this challenge, I welcome any idea from Democrats and Republicans.
What I will not welcome, what I reject, is the same old grandstanding when the cameras are on and the same irresponsible budget policies when the cameras are off.
It's time to hold Washington to the same standards families and businesses hold themselves.
It's time to save what we can, spend what we must, and live within our means once again.
This is a year after he's blown the budget sky high, a year after he has blown it all up.
You think all this isn't planned?
He just said that a piece of Sputnik crashed in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he happens to be today 50 years ago, underscoring his statement last night.
This is a Sputnik moment.
So he goes to Manitowoc.
Apparently, he went there only because he wanted to be able to say, Sputnik crashed here 50 years ago.
Sputnik is a big theme.
It's disingenuous.
But again, he speaks as a bystander, not as somebody who has promised to fix this stuff.
Not as somebody who said jobs, jobs, jobs is our focus.
Not as somebody who said, I'm rolling up my sleeves.
We're getting serious about this.
One more, this is from June 15th of last year from the Oval Office.
What has defined us as a nation since our founding is the capacity to shape our destiny, our determination to fight for the America we want for our children.
Even if we're unsure exactly what that looks like, even if we don't yet precisely know how we're going to get there, we know we'll get there.
So that was the boundless JFK Reagan-esque optimism that America can own the future from last night.
No.
Does anybody know what this means?
And again, that sounded lifeless as last night because he doesn't believe this.
And by the way, one of the reasons that DeMint says, I can't believe what he says anymore, it's really hard to take it seriously, is because the media has built this guy's expectations up so high.
It's built him so high that there's no way he can meet people's expectations.
Starting to become a ho-hum to a lot of people.
All right, Politics USA.
It's an obscure leftist blog, serving my purposes well today.
They say they do real liberal politics.
Headline, Rush Limbaugh insanely claims Michelle Obama is coming to get your furnace.
On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh insanely claimed that because indoor heating contributes to obesity, Michelle Obama will take away home heating.
He said, if indoor heating contributes to obesity and if obesity is the number one problem facing America's kids, the next step is not to call Michelle Obama because if you do that, your heating will be taken away from you.
Here is the audio courtesy of Media Matters.
So Media Matters took it seriously.
The Limbaugh used a study by the University College of London that found reduced exposure to cold may impact the body's ability to maintain a healthy weight to smear First Lady Michelle Obama with a new conspiracy theory.
After reading the article on the air, Limbaugh said, if indoor heating contributes to obesity, and if obesity is the number one problem facing America's kids, the next step's not to call Michelle Obama because if you do that, your heating bill or your heating will be taken away from you.
We're going to get government-regulated thermostats, but that's, well, they're talking about indoor heating, not a literal lot.
They're just talking about the existence.
In order for this theory, if you take it out to logical conclusion, you got to get rid of furnaces.
And, well, kids in the streets, they don't have this problem.
They don't have indoor heating.
They've already saved the planet by freezing out there.
These people are dead serious, folks.
Furnace tax, that could be a setup for furnace tax.
Who knows?
It's from the College of London.
See, folks, this is why one should never do drugs.
Rush managed to take an obscure university study about heat, obesity, and blah, blah, and turn it into Michelle Obama's coming to take away your furnace.
Tweaking these people, folks, is the easiest thing I've ever done.
Rush seems to be ignoring the fact that even if the first lady had something against indoor heating, which I'm sure she doesn't, the first lady doesn't have the power to take away anybody's anything.
The first lady has no formal power.
She's just the wife of the president.
As if I need to say this, this guy writing for his audience, Michelle Obama is not coming to take away our furnaces, our wood burners, our space heaters, our home heating oil, fireplaces, splints, sticks, two rocks.
She's coming to take away your food.
She goes to Walmart, tells them what they have to sell, what they can't sell, what price.
This was all in a discussion of how many ever heard of Michelle Obama five years ago.
Now, all of a sudden, she is the nation's foremost health expert.
She is the nation's foremost food expert.
And why?
Not because she's an expert, but simply because she's the first lady.
And these people have, it's a waste of time to even explain it.
But they obviously have no sense of humor.
You take what obviously, and they have no sense of satire or parody.
But Michelle Obama is taking over school menus.
She's doing everything it can.
That's her cause is obesity.
So it makes total sense to say if she figures this out, if obesity really matters, if the best way to fix it is to make people freeze, then let's make them freeze.
Because what's important?
The problem is these people are too absurd themselves to even understand absurdity.
They are incapable of understanding the whole concept of illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
All right, your phone calls her next.
A brief timeout here, an obscene profit timeout on the EIB network.
L. Rushboard, 800-282-2882.
Back before you know it.
Did Obama talk about this in the State of the Union last night?
Buyers purchased the fewest number of new homes last year on record, going back 47 years.
Sales for all of 2010 totaled 321,000.
That's a drop of 14.4% from the 375,000 homes sold in 2009.
This is all from the Commerce Department.
It was the fifth consecutive year that sales have declined after hitting record highs for the five previous years when the housing market was booming.
2010, 29, it's Obama's years.
Still, economists say it could be years before sales rise to a healthy rate of 600,000 units a year.
But I thought we had all this fixed.
I thought we had the mortgage mess fixed.
I thought we had Fannie Mae Freddie Mae fixed.
I thought Fannie Mae Freddie Mac.
I thought we had all this foreclosure stuff fixed.
Mortgage insurance and assistance and all this other was all fixed.
Obama said last night the economy was roaring back.
There wasn't any applause when he said that either.
But it was remarkably little applause last night.
I was stunned.
I was listening to Fox and, you know, Brett Baird did the recap, said that the president was interrupted some 82 times or whatever.
They had to count Biden when he clapped once as one of those.
I thought it was remarkably free of any kind of spontaneous reaction.
Now, the Washington Post, and I've got it coming up here in the stack.
They do criticize Obama's speech for not being tough enough.
They chided him for not leading the way on austerity.
Can't do that because that's how they're trying to nail a Republican.
The Republicans are the slashers.
Obama's out there creating jobs.
That's the narrative.
Anyway, Janine in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
It's great to have you on the program.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Very well.
Thanks much.
Hey, I hope I can make you feel a little better.
Your evening was not in vain because my husband and I knew that you were going to be enduring the State of the Union.
We went out and had a great time last night.
Well, congratulations.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
Well, you know, it's the gig.
It's part of accepting the responsibility doing this.
Well, we can't thank you enough.
We went to the movies and we had a great time.
So thank you for Catherine, you and Catherine for your sacrifices.
What did you go see?
What did you see the movies?
We went and saw True Grit.
True Grit.
Did you like it?
Yes, very much.
Did you see the original True Grit?
Yeah, John Wayne is my favorite actor.
So how did this stack up against the original True Grit?
It was actually really good.
Some of the lines even came from the original.
It was really close in some places.
Jeff Bridges did a terrific job.
And I'm not a big Matt Damon fan, but he was actually fun to watch.
You know, Glenn Campbell was in the original True Grit.
Yeah, but I didn't know.
They went through like gallons of hairspray for Glenn Campbell.
When he wore the cowboy hat on top of the hairspray, the hair puts a dent in it, so they had to redo the hair after every take, not just every scene.
It took them weeks to finish that movie.
I know.
And, you know, because of his hair, you just could not believe he was a Texas Ranger.
Who, Glenn Campbell?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I'll tell you something.
There has, other than Judge Napolitano, the adult Eddie Munster, there's never been anybody with a better head of hair than Glenn Campbell.
I mean, that's something I think we can all agree on.
Well, some people would say Donald Trump's got a great hit of hair.
Well, yeah, Trump's, yeah.
That's one way of looking at it.
By the way, I don't know if you know this or not, but there's a story in the Wall Street Journal, and there is trouble in, well, the Brett Girl.
But, yeah, but I still think you've stacked Glenn Campbell up against any of these people, and nobody had a more natural, better head of hair.
Back in the days of his TV show days than Glenn Campbell.
Anyway, there's trouble in Hollywood.
Janine, do you want to know about it?
I do, please.
No people of color have been nominated for Oscars.
No African Americans, no Hispanics, no Asians, no Alaska, no medicine men have been nominated.
In 2002, the Oscars had a breakthrough.
Denzel Washington won the award for best actor, first for a black actor since Sidney Poitier in 1963.
And Hallie Berry became the first ever African American to win the best actress honor.
And then Will Smith had been up for best actor, same ceremony for Ali.
This year, not a single person of color, 10 movies nominated for best picture, not a single one of them, stars an actor of color.
And they're all worried about this.
The blogs and the filmmakers are talking to each other about, oh, no, what does this say about us?
The Oscars are about to happen out there, and it's a minority's hardest hit.
They're all worried.
My God, what does it say about us?
Are we a bunch of bigots?
We a bunch of racists?
Is it too late to nominate Obama playing the role of president in the State of the Union last night?
I guess it's not long enough to be a feature presentation.
Probably a short or a documentary or something.
Anyway, I didn't, did you, did you know any of this, Janine?
Well, I thought that Hattie McDaniel was given an Oscar back in 1939.
It may have been a special Oscar, but I thought Hattie McDonald got an Oscar for Gone with the Wind.
Maybe, but we're talking about now.
We're talking, say, Hattie McDaniel wins one back in the Gone with the Windays, and not a single person of color nominated for anything in the 10 nominated movies for Best Picture.
But you know why?
That's because Hollywood is racist and they don't give black people good parts.
Well, you might think that.
What would the average American conclude here?
You have a very powerful industry run by liberal Democrats, very rich liberal Democrats, and they have their top 10 best movies nominated best movies, and not a single person of color nominated for anything.
Not even best supporting Stooge.
Nothing.
Zeronada.
Well, you know, I think Obama should get an Oscar for his portrayal as president.
The problem is he's all too real.
Now, this Wall Street Journal story is interesting.
The near shutout of actors of color from this year's award season is already drawing comments from bloggers and filmmakers.
Will white be the only color on the red carpet at the 83 Academy Awards?
Ask the Hollywood Reporter story.
The nominations were as much about who got left out as who got nominated for an award, wrote Nasinga Burton on The Route, an African-American website.
Some critics blame the fact that Hollywood's casting choices aren't diverse enough.
Others say that because Hollywood is making fewer serious films, it's hard for any actors, regardless of their race, to find rich parts.
Now, the only reason I find this fascinating is these are the people that tell us how to live.
These are the people, the Rob Reiners and the Norman Lears and all the others out there that have all the answers.
They're the ones that are constantly calling us racists and bigots and sexists and homophobes.
And here in this most enlightened industry, you can't find a single person of color nominated in any of the 10 pictures up for Best Picture.
An essay titled Don't Blame Oscars for Lack of Black Nominees on the Grio.
Now, this is an African-American website.
Don't blame Oscars for lack of black nominees.
Now, this guy, whoever wrote this, suggests that economics and not bigotry are to blame for the lack of black nominees at this year's Oscars.
His theory is, this is David, or Javier David is his name, is movies are a function of stark economics and financial viability.
Ultimately, what gets green lighted is a reflection of the public's willingness to pay.
So the African-American blogger Javier David said, it has nothing to do with racism or bigotry.
This is the market.
This is a market.
Well, it may be excuses snurdily, but he says it's the market.
He said the people that make movies are facing stark economics, and they have to pay attention to what the public is willing to pay to see.
Does he realize what he's saying here?
Apparently, he suggests that the market right now does not want to see people of color in prominent roles in Hollywood movies.
Well, I don't know what he's saying, snurdily.
I'm just, you can analyze it.
But I tell you, how long is it going to be before we get calls to reparations here for all of the missed opportunities if this is to replicate society?
Serving humanity simply by showing up El Rushbo behind the Golden EIB microphone, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, a program note.
We will be doing the program from Los Angeles tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Mark Stein here on Friday, correct?
Correct.
Mark Stein will be here Friday.
I will be in Parts Unknown on Friday.
Secret stuff going on out there in Los Angeles tomorrow.
It's always fun.
Change your pace.
Get out there and do the program from L.A.
It always is fun.
By the way, Dingy Harry, not happy with Obama from last night, recently, just moments ago on TV.
American public should understand, and I surely will as time goes by, that the president has enough power.
He should just back off.
He's got enough to do without messing in what we do.
He feels this is good for him and his image.
And maybe it is.
I just think he's wrong.
What was Dingy Harry upset about?
Dingy Harry was upset about earmarks, what Obama said about earmarks.
Dingy, you need the attitude of Jim DeMint.
Ignore it.
Can't take anything he says seriously.
He didn't mean it.
He couldn't get along without him.
This is really petulant here on the part of Dingy Harry.
Listen to this again.
This is Dingy Harry basically telling his own president to take a hike and stuff it.
American public should understand, and I surely will as time goes by, that the president has enough power.
He should just back off.
He's got enough to do without messing in what we do.
He feels this is good for him and his image.
And maybe it is.
I just think he's wrong.
To back off.
He's got enough to do without messing in what we do.
It clearly is not very civil.
Ladies and gentlemen, our recent story about the dearth of nominations for actors of color, actresses of color, the top 10 movies nominated for Best Picture, has evoked a deep sentiment with the official Obama criticizer Bo Sturdley, who has asked to weigh in on this subject.
Rush, there is something tremendously insidious and vile underneath this resegregation, re-segregation of Hollywood.
Our leading Hollywood producers, and we all know who they are, the Spielbergs, the bigwigs, are simply looking at black and Latino America in the face, especially black America.
And you know what they're saying to him?
They're saying, look, we gave you people enough.
We elected him president.
We did that.
We don't have to put any of you people in movies anymore.
You people.
You people.
We were railroaded to putting you people in movies.
Those roles were ours.
You really think we wanted to put Will Smith and all those moneymakers?
You got to be crazy.
We didn't want him in there, but we had to do it to look good.
You really think, do you really think we wanted to get, what's his name, Fox, playing Ray?
We had that role all set for Nicholas Cage.
No, no, no.
We had to give those roles to you people.
Well, guess what?
We gave one of your boys the biggest role in the United States.
Y'all ain't getting no more.
Thank you.
That is the official Obama criticizer.
Have a version of that for our brothers and sisters in the hood.
My brothers and sisters in the hood, y'all been played.
Guess what's up?
Check this out.
Y'all thought y'all was doing it.
Y'all thought y'all could see yourself on TV commercials selling toothpaste, chewing gum, and in Hollywood movies.
We got something new for you this year.
When you turn on the Oscars looking for the brothers and sisters, when you're looking to see who got back, who ain't got back, who's smacking with Mac, y'all ain't gonna be showing up in the house this year.
That's right.
Party's over.
Y'all flipped.
Y'all out the hood.
You're out of the picks.
We ain't got nothing for you except to clean up afterwards.
And by the way, some of those joints are going to be catered and they're going to call y'all in there.
Y'all not having no soul food this year.
We're going back to the regular stuff.
Y'all ain't in the mix.
Get on up out of here.
Your day's done.
Hollywood's being run the way it was run when, well, need I say more.
I'm out of here.
And that is the official Obama criticizer Bo Snerdley.
And we'll keep in touch.
Essentially, there's a lot of outrage that just sprung up here over the just learned fact that there are no people of color.
The official Obama criticizer has asked for more airtime.
Go.
One more thing.
Where's Jesse?
Where's Al?
This is the biggest outrage in America.
Here you got segregation at the highest levels of the land.
And where are them, brothers?
Where are they?
Where you at, Jess?
Where you at, Al?
And where's my boy up in San Francisco, that little state senator?
What's his name?
Leland, whatever his name?
Yo, this is what's up, y'all.
Hell, we got segregation here.
People are being beat upside the head.
Their jobs have been beat upside the head.
They can't get no roads and feed their family.
And we're in a recession.
Where is the support?
Where the love?
Thank you.
Again, the official Obama criticizer, Bo Snerdley, a little upset here when he figured out that there are no people of color nominated.
Actor, best supporting actor, actor, actress.
The top 10 nominated best movies of last year.
I guess we could safe to say that this year's Oscars, it's minorities and women that are hardest hit or hurt most.
But I'm certain, I look at the Mr. Snerdley, there are some women nominated.
Clearly, there's the best actress, the best supporting actress, and so forth.
But none of color.
None of color.
From the area of the country which veritably preaches to the rest of us how to live.
And they even put that in their movies.
Even make movies about driving Miss Nancy.
Miss Daisy.
Take it back.
Driving Miss Daisy.
Okay, where were we going to send birds?
Let's see, what have I got to say on Mrs. Obama?
Obama, no.
Oh, yeah, I do want to get Bob Schieffer.
Now, we've got some Michelle Bachman and Paul Ryan in both of their responses to the State of the Union last night.
And folks, do you remember 1996?
I'm sure by now you do.
I've mentioned this countless times.
I read that the Sierra Club was targeting SUVs.
SUVs were one of the primary culprits in planetary destruction.
The SUV consumed so much gasoline, fossil fuels, belched so much pollution, causing global warming and essentially destroying the planet.
And I brought it to your attention.
And I said, be on the lookout.
Once these people get something in their craw, they don't let go of it.
Once they target something, they don't stop until they've been victorious.
Could take 20, 30 years.
And I remember you, not all of you, many of you poo-pooed that.
Come on, Rush, who called and said, come on, Rush.
Exaggerating.
Nobody's going to come after SUVs for crying out loud.
This is a bunch of kook leftists, a bunch of environmentalists.
And now look from the New York Times.
Story in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Here's the headline: States lawmakers turn attention to the dangers of distracted pedestrians.
Now, what could be distracting pedestrians?
Well, let's read.
Many joggers don earbuds and listen to music to distract themselves from the rigors of running.
Wait a minute.
I thought all these people running liked it.
What is this rigors of running?
See, I was right about that.
They don't like it.
They're out there doing it because they think they should, because somebody's told them they're going to be healthy.
What is the rigors of running?
But I would like to point out to the official Obama criticizer: there are more minorities at tea party rallies than there are in Hollywood movies.
There are more minorities at tea parties/slash Republican rallies who get beat up by leftist union thugs than there are minorities starring in Hollywood movies.
In fact, I would go so far as to say there are more minorities employed by the EIB network than there are starring in Hollywood movies in substantial leading or supporting roles.
So there.
And now back to distracted pedestrians.
Many joggers don earbuds and they listen to music to distract themselves from the rigors of running.
But might the black-eyed peas or Rihanna distract them so much that they jog into traffic?
Well, that's the theory of several lawmakers pushing the latest generation of legislation dealing with how devices like iPods and cell phones affect traffic safety.
The ubiquity of interactive devices has propelled the science of distraction and now efforts to legislate against it out of the car and into the exercise routine.
In New York, a bill is pending in the legislature's transportation committee that would ban the use of mobile phones, iPods, or other electronic devices while crossing streets.
Runners and other exercises included.
Legislation pending in Oregon would restrict bicyclists from using mobile phones and music players.
A Virginia bill would keep such riders from using a handheld communications device.
In California, a state senator who led a successful fight to ban motorists from sending text messages and using handheld phones has reintroduced a bill that failed last year to fine bicycles 20 bucks for similar multitasking.
The big thing has been distracted driving, but now it's moving into other ways that technology can distract you and do everyday things, said Ann Teigen, policy specialist for the National Conference of State Legislatures, exercising in Central Park on Tuesday.
Marie Wickham, 56, said that she understood what all the fuss was about.
Yeah, they're zigging and they're zagging.
They don't know what's around them.
Can be definitely dangerous.
But Ms. Wickham added that she would be opposed to any ban of such devices.
I think it's an infringement on personal rights.
At some point, we need to take responsibility for our own stupidity if we happen to be run down by a car.
Well, that's a foreign concept to a lot of people accepting responsibility.
No cell phones while walking.
Sorry, no cell phones while crossing the street.
Now, I remember when I warned you about the SUV, you poo-pooed me.
And when I warned you that these people were going to try to get your cell phone out of your car while driving, even hands-free, you poo-pooed me.
And now all of you exercisers, all of you joggers running around to the beat may be in violation of the law if you cross the street talking on the phone or listening to an iPad.
iPod.
And you try to tell me that Michelle Obama will not go for your furnace.
You better wake up, folks.
Your guiding light, I'm Rush Limbaugh, and this, the EIB network, as usual, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Mr. Snerdley, the official Obama criticizer, an email for you, sir.
Hollywood and African Americans, it seems that they have yet to learn that, especially from the president's example, just being African American is not sufficient anymore.
That was your point, sir.
Hollywood instrumental in the election of Obama, and yet there's no satisfaction.
Racism is not over.
Total diss in Hollywood when it comes to the Oscars.
What's needed, apparently, in order to make the point to fulfill the dream is an unemployed black Jewish lesbian atheist in a movie.
This is the role.
An unemployed black Jewish lesbian atheist trying to save Earth from global warming.
That would be worth, that would make up for all of the transgressions, right?
You cover all bases.
They were everything Hollywood cares about and promotes with that one single thing.
That's what they could do.
Now, whether or not it would settle the box office, who knows?
DVD would clean up.
Walter in Potavedra Beach, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Did those Rush?
Last night he really came down on domestic oil, and he just had that awful smirk, and there was a complete silence.
Yeah, but see, there's nothing new about that.
I mean, the oil subsidies and there was nothing.
These people have had big oil on the enemy's list for I don't know how long.
There was nothing new about that.
What's your take on it?
Well, Rush, you know, I heard this Denish D'Souza, the president of the King's College back in 1016 of last year, talking about $2 billion going to Brazil to help him develop oil, and we're not getting one drop of it.
He's sending billions of dollars to Mexico and other places to develop their oil, and we're not the beneficiaries.
What's going on here?
We have chronicled that very story on this program.
It's $10 billion to Brazil.
Oh, my God.
$10 billion.
And while that, and we're helping them, what's the name of the country?
Petrobas, I think.
Petrobras, yeah, like multiple Dolly Partons, Petrobras.
Anyway, they have $10 billion.
And to help them develop their oil industry.
The same thing.
We are not objecting to the Vietnamese drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Chikoms are preparing to drill in Mexico.
All of this is going on.
We're shutting down or really limiting by the failure to grant permits our own domestic drilling business.
And yet he stands up there and rips into the oil companies.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
You know what?
Isn't China going to get that oil?
They made a big contract with them, with Brazil.
Yeah, of course.
Oh, my.
So our enemies are getting our oil.
The taxpayers, the benefit of American taxpayers.
Wait a minute here.
Wait just a minute, Walter.
What do you mean enemies?
The CHICOMs, the Chikoms.
Our president is telling us we need to emulate the Chikoms in infrastructure and building buildings and high-speed rail and all that.
You know what?
I'll tell you what I'd like to emulate the Chikoms on is putting our Nobel Peace Prize winners behind bars.
Somebody asked me once, Rush, where does Fox, where does Fox News find all of those blondes?
And I said, Roger Ailes told me they've got a factory.
It's on Bikini Atoll.
And it is amazing.
I mean, they'll pop up there.
You've never seen it before, and they just move right in there and they flow right in.
So it's almost like they got a monopoly on it.
And I found out they've got the blonde factory in Bikini Atoll.
It all made sense.
Try this headline.
This is from ArabHarrow.com.
Egypt's president's son and family flee to Britain.
This is Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian dictator.
Now, I don't think the BAMSTER talked about this last night, State of the Union.
This is not insignificant here.
The Egyptian dictator's family fleeing to Britain.
Talk about this in a little bit more detail when we had a little bit more time, which will be in just a little few minutes.
