Time Text
You know, Jim Dement.
Jim Dem.
I am I am envious.
I'm Jealousy.
Jim Dement 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 Dement had the best reaction.
It's from an interview at National Review Online.
Jim Dement said, frankly, I can't believe what he says anymore.
It was really hard to take it seriously.
It's 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 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.
I mean, but but but uh my 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 Dement said.
Folks, basically I 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, some people have, but it was.
It was it was it was genuinely mindless.
And all this is I was trying to be civil, and this is what happens.
I was trying to be civil in that first hour, trying to be respectful and analyze this in this serious vein in which it was ostensibly given, and I ended up with with with diarrhea of the mouth.
And uh so it normally doesn't happen.
Uh normally it's people like Dement quoting me.
So I realized I gotta work even harder here.
I gotta stop practicing golf more and get back into here what what that's for you at the stick to the issue scrub.
But Dement is exactly right.
You can't believe what he says anymore.
It's it it's it's hard to take seriously.
Here I get my little game.
I told Cookie, go grab me three Obama sound bites.
I don't care what they are.
Don't work harder, 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, uh February 1 of last year, and June 15th of last year.
Uh 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.
Uh 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 a problem, or whatever is in his mind.
So that's that's that's so close to last night.
It's 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.
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 say 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.
Uh you think all this isn't planned?
He just said that a piece of Sputnik crashed in Manitouac, Wisconsin, where he happens to be today.
Fifty years ago.
Underscoring his statement last night, this is a Sputnik moment.
So he goes to Manitouac.
Apparently he went there only because he wanted to be able to say Sputnik crashed here 50 years ago.
Sputnik's 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 Dement 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.
Started to become a hoe hum to uh 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 limb boy 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, if obesity is the number one problem facing America's kids, the next steps not to call Michelle Obama, because if you do that, your heating bill or your heating will be taken away from you.
We're gonna 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 gotta 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.
These 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, flint 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 it's it's a waste of time to even explain it.
But they obviously have no sense of humor.
You take what obvious and they have no sense of satire or parody.
But Michelle Obama is is taking over school menus.
She's doing everything he can.
That's her cause is obesity.
So it makes total sense to say if she figures this out, and 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 are next.
A brief timeout here, an obscene profit timeout on the EIB network.
El Rushbow at 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 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 144 to four uh 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.
Twenty ten, twenty-nine, that'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 May fixed.
I thought Fanny made Freddie Mac, I thought we had um all his foreclosure stuff fixed, mortgage insurance and assistance and all this other was all fixed.
Obama said last night the economy was roaring back.
I 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 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 that's the that's the narrative.
Anyway, Janine in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
It's great to have you on the program, and I'm glad you waited.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Hi, Roger, how are you?
Very well.
Thanks much.
Hey, I just I hope I can make uh 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 uh 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 in the movies?
We went and saw true grit.
True grit.
Mm-hmm.
Did you like it?
Yes, very much.
Did you see, 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.
They act 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.
It went through like gallons of hairspray for Glenn Campbell because you put when he wore a cowboy hat on top of the hairspray hair, puts a dent in it, so they had to redo the hair after every take, not just every scene.
It was it took them it took them weeks uh 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 uh adult Eddie Munster, there's never been anybody with a better head of hair than Glenn Campbell.
I mean, well, that's something I think we can all agree on.
Well, some people would say Donald Trump's got a great head of hair.
Well, uh Yeah, Trump's Yeah.
Uh well, 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 uh well, the Breck girl.
But yeah, but I still think you 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 than uh than Glenn Campbell.
Anyway, there's trouble in Hollywood.
Uh, Janine, do you want to know about it?
I do, please.
Uh no people of color have been nominated for Oscars.
No African Americans, no Hispanics, no Asians, no Alaskan, no medicine men, uh, 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 Poitiers in 1963, and Halle 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, ten 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?
And the Oscars are about to happen out there, and it's you know, 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.
Um it may have been a special Oscar, but I thought Hattie McDonald got an Oscar for Gone with the Wind.
Uh maybe.
Uh but we're talking about now.
We're talking that's it's say Hattie McDaniel wins one back in the Gone with the Wind Days, and not a single person of color nominated for anything in the ten 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.
Uh 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 ten best movies nominated best movies.
Not a single person, a color nominated for anything.
Not even best supporting Stooge.
Nothing.
Zilt Zero Notta.
Well, you know, I think Obama should get an Oscar for his betrayal of pre as president.
Uh the problem is he's all too real.
Now, this Wall Street Journal story is interesting.
Uh 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 in a single Burton on the root, 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 because 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 big 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 ten pictures up for best picture.
An essay titled Don't Blame Oscars for Lack of Black Nominees on the Greel.
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's nothing to do with racism or bigotry.
This is the market.
This is a market.
Well, it may be excuses, snurdily, but he says he says it's the market.
He said that 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, Sturdle.
I'm just, I'm just here.
You can analyze it.
But I tell you, how long is it going to be before we get calls for reparations here for all of the missed opportunities if this is to reproducate society.
Serving humanity simply by showing up, El Rushmow 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 of pace.
Get out there and do the program from LA.
It always is fun.
By the way, Dingy Harry, not happy with uh with Obama from last night, recently, just moments ago on TV.
American public should understand, and I sure they 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 and what Obama said about earmarks.
Dingy, you need the attitude of Jim Dement.
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 sure they 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.
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 ten movies nominated for best picture, has evolved a deep sentiment with the official Obama criticizer Bo Sterley, who has asked to weigh in on this subject.
Rush, there is something tremendously insidious and vile underneath this resegregation.
Resegregation of Hollywood.
Our unleading Hollywood producers, and we all know who they are.
The Spielbergs, the big wigs, 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 in 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.
You 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 gonna be catered, and they're gonna 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.
Yo 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.
Uh 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 them brothers, where are they?
Where are 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 roles and feed their family.
And we're in a recession.
Where is the support?
Where the love?
Thank you.
Again, the official Obama criticizer both snerdily, a little upset here when he figured out that there are no people of color nominated actor, best supporting actor, actor, actress, the top ten nominated best movies of uh of last year.
I guess we can safe to say that this year's Oscars, it's uh minorities and women that are hardest hit or hurt most.
But I'm certain I look at the uh Mr. Schnerdley, 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 uh movies driving Miss Nancy.
Uh, Miss Daisy, take it back, driving Miss Daisy.
Okay, where were we gonna sound bites?
Let's see, what have I got to sound?
Obama, Obama, no.
Oh.
Yeah, I do want to get Bob Schiefer and 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, beyond 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, but many of you poo-pooed that.
Come on, rush, you called and said, Come on, Rush.
Exaggerating.
Nobody's gonna 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 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 it?
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 Party 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, 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 find bicycles twenty 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 Teagan, 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.
It 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.
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.
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 Lindbaugh, 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 uh 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 elected election of Obama, and yet there's no satisfaction.
Racism's 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 mood.
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're everything Hollywood cares about and promotes with that one single thing.
That's what they could do.
Now, whether or not it would sell at the box office...
Who knows?
DVD would clean up.
Uh Walter in Ponte Vidra Beach, Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
I uh last night he really came down on uh domestic oil uh and he just he he had that awful smirk, and there was a complete silence and yeah, but see there's nothing new about that.
I mean the oil subsidies and uh uh I there's 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.
Well, what's your take on it?
Well, Rush, you know, uh I've I heard this Denish uh de Souza, the uh president of the King's College uh back in 1016 uh last year, uh talking about two billion dollars going to Brazil to help him develop oil, and uh we're not getting one drop of it.
He's sending um billions of dollars to Mexico and other places to develop their oil, and we're not we're not the beneficiaries.
What's going on here?
We have chronicled that very story on this program.
It's ten billion dollars to Brazil.
Ten billion, and while that, and and you're we're helping them.
Uh, what's the name of the country?
Petrobas, I think.
Petro Petrobras, yeah, like multiple dolly partners, petro bras.
Anyway, they have the ten billion dollars.
Oh and and to help them develop their their um uh their oil industry.
The same thing.
We are not objecting to the Vietnamese drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Chicoms 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?
I it didn't he didn't isn't China going to get that uh that oil they made a big contract with them with Brazil.
Yeah, of course.
Oh my so our enemies are getting our oil the the taxpayers the benefit of us American taxpayers Wait a minute here.
Wait, just a minute, Walter.
What do you mean?
Enemies?
The Chicoms, the Chicoms Our President is telling us we need to emulate the Chicoms in infrastructure and building buildings and high-speed rail and all that.
What I you know what?
I'll tell you what I'd like to emulate the Chicoms 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've said Roger Ailes told me they've got a factory.
It's on Bikini Atoll.
And uh it is amazing.
I mean, they'll pop up there.
You people you've never seen it before, and they just they just they just move right in there and they they 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.
It told all made sense.
Try this headline.
This is from Arab Harrow.com.
Egypt's president's son and family flee to Britain.
This is Hasni Mubarak, the Egyptian dictator.
Now, I don't think the Bamster talked about this last night at the 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 uh just a little few minutes.
