Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Gee, I'm totally confused over what's happening in Egypt.
Can you imagine poor Mubarak?
I mean, the message he's been getting, stay, go, no, stay and stay.
No, you better go, but don't go till September.
No, we don't want you to leave.
You better stay.
And then the king of Saudi Arabia calls Obama, don't you humiliate my man Mubarak?
Obama says, all right.
Now we wake up today, we find out the military is going to take over the country, which is a violation of the Egyptian constitution, by the way.
The constitution says that the succession of power is supposed to go to the speaker of the Egyptian parliament.
So the military is, I mean, effectively a coup.
Now, the military is the glue that holds that country together at the same time.
So, but looking at the pictures on television, our media, I mean, CNN, like a Suzanne Melvaux, have you seen her?
She's so excited, she dressed up like Cleopatra today on CNN.
It's amazing if you haven't seen it out there.
Well, maybe Neffer TV.
I'm not sure which, but one of the two.
So the news media over there and the supposed Democrat-craving protesters in the street seem to be all for this.
But I mean, it really is, I'm serious.
It's confusing to me because we've had different messages every day from the regime and from our regime.
And our regime is going out of the way, saying, we have nothing to do with this.
They got spokesmen out there saying, hey, this isn't us.
But everybody in their right mind knows, understands the regime wants everybody to think this is Obama's move, that this is Obama's influence being felt.
But until it actually happens, we just have a couple of people telling the news agencies that Mubarak will step down tonight.
But until he actually doesn't, we don't know.
We're waiting for his address to the nation of Egypt.
CNN says that Egyptian TV is running a crawl that says Egypt is changing.
Now, up to now, all their programming had been very pro-Mubarak.
So something obviously is happening.
But I'm just wondering if the Egyptian military cleared the move with Obama.
Do they get yesterday's memo?
It's okay now for Mubarak to stay.
That was the message yesterday.
Remember all the confusion with Wiz?
Since Frank Wisner over there to nudge the guy out, Wisner from our State Department goes over there and says the guy's staying.
And Hillary and Obama have to stand up and say that Wisner's not speaking for us.
It was a total, it was a fire drill.
Can't say what kind of fire drill.
It upset those people.
Yeah, that's can't say anything anymore.
But it is.
So we're trying to keep up with this.
Now, clearly it is a revolution, ladies and gentlemen, if I may be serious for a moment, but it's not usually the first revolution that is the problem.
If you look at the, well, when the Russians overthrew the Tsar, they installed a Republican government under Alexander Kerensky.
But then the Bolsheviks overthrew him.
And that's how we got a communist Russia, eventually a Soviet Union.
And the same thing in Germany after World War I, the people overthrew the Kaiser, instituted the Weimar Republic, but the Weimar Republic was soon overthrown by the Nazis.
So it's the second revolution that counts.
So I don't know whoever is behind this, if they don't survive, and the military is aligned with them, if they don't survive this, is it the Muslim Brotherhood waiting in line to then overthrow whatever happens here?
And it may take years for all this to play out.
We don't really know, despite the efforts of our media, I know what they want.
What do they want?
They want by tonight, by the evening news tonight, the U.S. media wants to be able to say that Barack Obama has transformed Egypt into a democracy of peace-loving people and that their economy is going great, that the joblessness numbers are going down.
They want to be able to wrap this up in a pretty little bow and say Egypt's fixed by the evening news, certainly by the Sunday shows on Sunday.
And that's what they're all angling for.
But there hasn't been any consistency from the White House on what their message is and what their position here is.
It's great to have you with us, my friends, El Rushbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
You want to be on the program today.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882.

It really is interesting to me that if all this pans out as we're being told, that Mubarak is going to hand power over to the Egyptian army.
Now, people that claim to be in the know and understand what happens in Egypt know the army's key to everything over there.
If the army would align with Mubarak, then that's it.
If the army aligns against Mubarak, then that's it.
That apparently they really are the institution that's going to determine the future there.
But the Egyptian Constitution, and we know that, sadly, we know constitutions don't matter much anymore.
Certainly not here, certainly not in Egypt.
But the Egyptian Constitution clearly states the succession of power is supposed to go to the Speaker of the Egyptian parliament.
Now, a couple of stories have said that this guy Suleiman is going to end up being the head honcho there.
But we don't know for how long.
So I don't, would you call this a military coup with the military taking over?
Well, yeah, I don't know if it's a, I know there aren't any constitutional fetishists in Egypt worrying about this.
Like, I have a fetish for the Constitution, according to critics.
And it doesn't seem to be anybody like that in Egypt that we're hearing about.
And that's just it.
We don't know all of the factions involved in this.
But is it a coup if Mubarak willingly resigns and the military takes over?
It seemed to me it's a coup if they force Mubarak.
Of course, the argument could be made that that has happened.
So regardless, if we have a military coup, what does that mean?
This is one of the rare times where our media has been pro-military.
They are all for, I mean, it's amazing.
It didn't take long.
This Mubarak guy may as well be Satan incarnate.
It happened in a couple of days.
And he's got to go.
And when that happens, then everything is hunky-dory.
Here's, let's go, audio soundbite number five.
This is this morning on MSNBC.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, described what she thought of all this.
She was asked specifically, Andrea, was this much of a surprise hearing that Mubarak is El Finito?
They clearly have been talking non-stop.
Joe Biden has been talking to Vice President Suleiman, the intelligence and military contacts back and forth.
We understand that officials are in the situation room at the White House.
Officials at the State Department are waiting to hear the final word.
The last thing they want is for this to be perceived as an American-run operation, not something that comes from Egypt itself.
But there have been constant conversations in person on the phone with foreign leaders, with King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah in Jordan.
The Israelis, the Defense Minister Barack, was here yesterday meeting with all of the top officials.
So you can imagine how closely this is being coordinated, being watched here.
Well, it's the administration, the regime does not want any credit here.
Andrea Mitchell tells us that no matter where you go, the State Department, the Situation Room, depending on this to be perceived as an American-run operation.
It's just the opposite of that.
They all do.
They want this to be seen as an Obama-run operation, make no mistake about it.
So the foreign minister of Egypt says that the United States is trying to impose its will over there.
This was on the news hour with Jim Lara, although Jim Lara was not there.
Senior correspondent Margaret Warner interviewed Ahmed Abul Rait.
She said the United States has had a lot to say about all this.
And just yesterday, Vice President Biden called your Vice President Suleiman and asked for a prompt and meaningful change, immediate progress.
How do you take that?
I mean, do you regard that as a helpful advice from a friend?
No, not at all.
Why is it so?
Because when you speak about prompt, immediate, now, as if you are imposing on a great country like Egypt, a great friend that have always maintained the best of relationship with the United States, you are imposing your will on him.
Well, it says the Egyptian foreign minister thinks that the regime is imposing its will on Egypt.
Clearly, look, Mubarak doesn't want any of this, so you'd have to say that it is a military coup if he doesn't want any of this.
If you break the law, it's a coup.
The Constitution says that the order of succession goes to the VEP.
Now, the media covering here for Obama, he doesn't want any credit until he can be sure it's going to work out all right, and then he will take all the credit.
Can't take all the credit right now.
Hell, things might blow up over there.
But when it's safe, when the bets are in that it's safe to take credit, that everything's calmed down sufficiently so, to take credit for all this, then they'll move in and do that.
Leon Panetta, who is the director of central intelligence, was testifying at Capitol Hill at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on international security threats.
Mike Rogers, Republican Michigan, said CMN and Fox are currently reporting that Hazni Mubarak may step aside today.
And I want to give you the opportunity for the first time to talk to the American people about your assessment and real-time intelligence about this, where we need to go.
We provided a number of reports about what was taking place there.
We teed up these issues, and as you can see, I got the same information you did, that there is a strong likelihood that Mubarak may step down this evening, which would be significant in terms of where the hopefully orderly transition in Egypt takes place.
Now, bottom line is, he doesn't have any intel.
At the time, this was this morning in testimony before a House Intelligence Committee hearing.
Panetta did not have any intel.
He went on to say that I know exactly what you do, and I know what you know, same way you know it, news reports.
So, the director of Central Intelligence was not at least willing to admit that he had any intelligence suggesting this is going to happen.
So, everybody's trying to make it look like this was a big surprise.
Everybody woke up today, and news reports were that Mubarak is stepping aside.
And you hear Panetta here.
Hopefully, the orderly transition in Egypt takes place.
It's amazing how quickly a media narrative is established.
It's amazing how it gets and how everybody ends up being wedded to it without any question, without any disagreement, without any doubt whatsoever.
The assumption the media narrative is Mubarak's got to go.
Last week, was there anything of this in the news?
Well, I don't know when the day before we saw protests at the square in Cairo, was there any indication whatsoever that anything was going on of this nature in Egypt?
No, one day we see the place populated with protests, and the narrative immediately became Mubarak has to go.
This is a democratic uprising.
Mubarak must go.
Got to get rid of Mubarak.
And then the next day, no, Mubarak's got to stay.
We got to keep him in there till September.
The next day, Mubarak's got to go and he's got to go now.
Well, what does now mean?
Well, now meant yesterday.
Then the next day, well, we send this guy Wisner over from the State Department to nudge him out.
And our guy publicly says it'd be wise to keep Mubarak in power for a while in the interest of stability.
It would be very imprudent to nudge him out now.
And that became the theme of the regime.
Well, no, we don't want to move him out now.
And Gibbs was saying, oh, it's none of our business here.
It's up to Egypt what they do.
We don't have anything to say about this.
We just want it to happen orderly.
We want it to happen now.
But how it happens, or what happens, that's up to them.
I'm always amazed at how quickly these narratives, these templates, spring up.
And once they do, every report, every story about it is based on that template.
There hasn't been any discussion of, well, wait, why does Mubarak have to go?
What all of a sudden happened?
Mubarak didn't change overnight into a rotten guy.
He's either been one all along or he's not as bad as people have been saying.
He is an ally of the United States.
Why are we paying Leon Panetta?
He doesn't know anything more than what CNN knows.
That's kind of embarrassing.
Well, maybe he knows and doesn't want to say so.
But it's still kind of interesting that the director of CIA says, well, I found out about it the same way you did watching Cleopatra report it on CNN.
I don't know any more about it than you do, except we do expect the guy to announce that he's getting out of there later tonight.
You have to think they know more than what on television, CNN or Fox or wherever.
But he didn't say that they did.
So there's a lesson in everything.
And this is an abject lesson in media templates and how they get started, narratives, and how they stick.
And how everybody just remains totally loyal to the narrative.
And so now, without anybody really being able to tell us why, Mubarak has to go.
He's got to go.
It's the only way to save Egypt.
What?
Who's lurking in the wings?
What's Egypt going to become?
Doesn't matter.
Mubarak has to go.
What do you mean it doesn't matter what happens to Egypt?
Well, it's a democratic uprising, Limboy.
You ought to know this.
Well, why should I accept that it's a democratic uprising when I have word that the Muslim Brotherhood's intimately involved in this?
I don't care when they entered the scene.
They may not be leading this, but they're clearly, as I say, folks, it's the second revolution.
Oftentimes, that's what you have to really pay attention to.
And I dare say that most of the people reporting on what's going on over there are clueless.
They're just paying attention to the template.
The template is Mubarak has to go.
There's a democratic uprising, and we are pro-democracy.
And that's it.
And anything that doesn't fit the template, we don't hear about it.
So we are keeping a sharp eye.
They keep moving back.
Apparently, Mubarak was supposed to have this press availability, this statement at 1:15 hour time, 45 minutes from now.
And that's been moved back.
We now do not know the precise time, but the press continues to say he's going to step down shortly, that he's meeting with his VP.
There was a report that he was over at a Red Sea resort, but he's not.
He's in the Egyptian capital in his house meeting with his vice president right now.
So all we can do is sit around and wait and see what happens within the confines of the media template that's out there.
Try this.
Changing gears here from the New York Post.
Try this headline: Chelsea Clinton, husband, spotted together.
That's a headline.
That is a news story.
Chelsea Clinton and Mark Mesvinsky made themselves visible around New York City over the weekend in what looked like a calculated campaign to knock down swirling rumors of a troubled marriage.
Have you heard about those rumors, Snerkely?
Just a week after the newspaper reported that Mesvinsky left his job at the hedge fund 3G Capitol to be a ski bum in Wyoming, the banker hurtled back to New York to see and be seen with his wife of six months.
It was reported that Mesvinsky would stay in Jackson Hole for a few months while Clinton would remain in New York and visit him every few weeks.
The more private Clinton is reportedly pursuing a Ph.D. at New York University's Wagner School of Public Service.
I guess with the Clintons, I hate to say this, folks, but it appears that it is news when a married couple involving a Clinton or Clintons show up together.
It's a kind of like, remember when Bill and Hillary danced on the beach down there in St. Thomas before the Lewinsky story broke, there was no music.
They're just dancing out there.
And that made news.
And now this: husband and wife spotted together.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And we start on the phones in Corning, Arkansas.
Hi, Zane.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Thank you, Rush.
I got a pretty important question for you.
Very important question, eh?
I want to know why you weren't on the red carpet for the Super Bowl.
They had all these celebrities come out, people that didn't have a clue about football were giving interviews, and I couldn't find you anywhere.
You know, I'll be honest, I didn't even know there was a red carpet for celebrities at the Super Bowl.
didn't go as a celebrity.
I wasn't invited to the Super Bowl.
Here's what I do every year.
We make a weekend of it for our top clients here.
We always have a client dinner at a fine restaurant in town on Friday night of a Super Bowl weekend.
This weekend it was at Nick and Sam's, one of the finest steakhouses in Dallas.
And Al Michaels and Mike Irvin, Michael Irvin came by and did QA, interacted with my guests.
And Saturday we set them up at a bunch of different parties.
And Sunday, I have a suite at the game that I host that I pay for.
I'm not a freeloader on any celebrity red carpet at this thing.
I didn't even know there was a red carpet.
I've never seen a red carpet at a Super Bowl.
Were you disappointed that I was not on the red carpet at the Super Bowl?
Yeah, I really was.
I thought maybe you turned down the invitation because they had everybody else walking the red carpet.
Well, who were these people on the red carpet at the Super Bowl?
They had like Harrison Ford, a couple of people that are starting some TV shows.
I mean, they had Adam Sandler.
Okay.
It sounds to me like you had the usual, like, Adam Sandler's got a new movie out.
Harrison Ford, I don't know what he's got going on.
Jerry Jones invited a bunch of these people to sit in his suite.
I'm sure that's what it was.
When we were watching the game, they had still shots of all these people sitting there in Jerry Jones' suite on the giant board.
One of the most embarrassing shots, by the way, you might have read about it.
Cameron Diaz was spotted feeding popcorn to Alex Rodriguez, and he is livid that that shot happened to make it also on national TV.
I saw it happen.
I watched it happen.
Yeah, he wasn't happy about it.
Meanwhile, we had about 50 people in 50 guests of mine in my suite.
It's like the third or fourth year that we've done this.
So to me, the Super Bowl is where I host people important to me.
I don't know.
I wouldn't want to be part of being on display, a red carpet, that kind of stuff.
I love the game.
I had a business reason for doing this, and I do it every four years.
So that's the answer to your question.
I'm sorry you were disappointed.
I was disappointed, sir.
Thank you very much.
All right.
All right, Pro Flowers, Rush.
That has helped me out these past three years more than you know.
No, I appreciate that.
In fact, I just got a note from a friend of mine who just made his order for Valentine's Flowers from Pro Flowers that he got the Rush deal.
You can't do better than that.
Yeah, it is a very horrible thing to be fed popcorn by Cameron Diaz.
A-Rod apparently was robustly embarrassed by that.
Sherry Moline, Illinois, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
Megan Didos from the Quest Cities.
I just wanted to say that I find I take comfort in the sense that with regards to Egypt, I don't think the citizens of Egypt trust Barack Obama.
At least they've got his number, and he can't get away with Charming Chrisma replacing character with those people.
Wait a second.
Now, why do you think the people of Egypt don't trust Obama?
Where have you seen anything to indicate that?
Well, the media doesn't show a lot, but when I was watching probably Fox News or something, when there was just some fighting, I just feel that there's really nothing real specific.
They don't like America.
They don't want America to intervene.
And I guess it's just an extension of the.
Now, that's interesting.
If this protest is made up of anti-American people, people with anti-American sentiments.
I don't know that it's anti-American sentiment, but I just think there's no room.
This is too serious of an issue for their nation and for the world for Barack Obama's little personal, you know, personal gain.
Oh, well, yeah, but look, you have to understand the personality type we're dealing with here.
There's no nation or issue bigger than Obama.
Well, there is if you're living in the shoes of an Egyptian person right now, and I guess that's my main point.
Yeah, but Obama's not living in the shoes of an Egyptian person.
Obama is under the crown of the Messiah.
Well, and he can deceive himself all he wants about his delusions of grandeur, but it doesn't, you know, when they need, when the people need, you know, which is what this country may need at some point, too, you know, food on the table and choices about employment and seriously troublesome issues about day-to-day.
Well, they've got, look, there's no question Egypt has unemployment problems.
They have some economic problems.
Most nations do.
Most authoritarian dictatorship type nations do.
There's no question about it.
But the idea that this mob is not anti-American, I mean, they weren't nice to Henderson Cooper 69 over there.
I mean, they beat Anderson Cooper upside the head so much, so he left.
And now he's on Letterman telling everybody how rotten it was to get beat upside the head while trying to do his job as a journalist.
And they knew that he was a journalist.
Other Americans have been threatened.
Other American journalists have been threatened over there.
It's just, it's, you know, one of the things that I do, ladies and gentlemen, when I don't know what's going on, and clearly, I don't know what's going on here.
I wouldn't have the courage, nor would I be audacious enough to try to tell you that I have the slightest understanding what this is.
This is one of those times where I just step back and observe.
And I'm very suspicious of anybody who tells me with ontological certitude that they know what this is about in every degree.
I still don't know.
I have yet to be convinced this has anything to do with pro-democracy, at least as we think of democracy.
When I see the Muslim Brotherhood involved in this, and I know who they are, and I know what they believe, I can't just throw that out because they make up only 20 to 30%, it is said, of the people who are protesting.
I know how rent-a-mobs work.
I know how mobs can be assembled, paid for, and put together.
I know when I see a protest in Egypt with most of the signs printed and painted in English, my antenna go up.
Why?
They don't speak English.
It's not the mother tongue in Egypt.
So clearly, we're being spun by any number of factions where this is concerned.
That's what I was talking about, the media template earlier.
We're all supposed to think that the most rotten SOB on earth today is Hosni Mubarak.
The most despicable, deadly, despised person, leader on earth is Hosni Mubarak, and he's got to go.
And our media is going to devote its resources 24-7 until he's gone.
Till there is some sort of movement by Obarik, Mubarak, that they can, he's moved on, gotten rid of, resigned, or what have you.
I just get suspicious watching all this, and I'm patiently waiting to find out what this is actually all about.
Put all this together, then I see our president at the very early stages of this try to take ownership of this mob, go out and make a speech to him from the White House with all that godlike reverb in it.
People of Egypt, we hear you.
And we hear you.
And we hear you.
And we know that you want democracy.
Okay.
And we demand your demands.
And we want a transformation of power now.
Okay.
And so you're influencing what happens over there from the White House with a godlike reverb.
There's too much of this to be suspicious of to accept the media narrative, which is Mubarak's horrible.
He is despicable.
He has to go.
I know a little bit too much history, history of revolutions, first and second revolutions.
I know the part of the world this is happening.
I know that this country, you know, come Hell or High Water is an ally of ours.
But is that being thrown up for grabs now as well?
This is a region that's clearly, clearly unstable.
We would love nothing more for this to be a democratic uprising.
I would love nothing more than for this to be the result of our success in Iraq.
The Egyptian people saying, hey, if they can do elections and choose their own leaders, why can't we?
So we'll see.
We'll see if that's what this turns out to be.
I just remember, you remember when the head honcho in Pakistan, Musharraf, he was in the media's crosshairs, had to get rid of Musharraf.
Had to get rid of him.
The guy was rotten to the core.
He was dispatched.
You know, back in the Clinton years, we even did a parody on it.
Out of the blue, the media narrative was that Clinton had to fire Bill Sessions, the FBI director.
Clinton didn't say it.
Somebody started the whole narrative.
Got to get rid of Bill Sessions, has to fire Bill Sessions.
So for a week, the drumbeat to fire Bill Sessions was heard.
Finally, Bill Sessions got fired as the director over the FBI.
Same thing.
Okay, Musharraf in Pakistan has to go.
What happened when he resigned?
What happened when he went?
What happened when the media narrative was listened to?
Pakistan's Musharraf had the media's crosshairs in his back.
Perez Musharraf.
And we got rid of him.
Now, is Pakistan all that much better off now?
Remember, he was the guy that was the problem in Pakistan with Pakistan unstable problems across the border with Afghanistan.
Musharraf has to go.
We got rid of him.
Are we any better off now?
I'm just suspicious of this stuff, folks.
Pure and simple.
Back after this.
You know, it's almost like the U.S. media, like state-controlled media, and the Obama administration want Mubarak to fail.
And isn't that the worst thing that you can hope for for a leader?
Is the worst thing you can do to a national leader is to hope he fails?
And hasn't all this really been oriented around Mubarak failing?
The state-controlled AP, Mubarak, meets with VP, protesters flood square.
And all of these announcements, by the way, are coming from the military.
Here's a pull quote from the story.
Egypt's military announced on national television that it stepped in to safeguard the country and assured protesters that Mubarak will meet their demands.
Strong likelihood he'll step down today.
General Hassan al-Rouwweeni, military commander, Cairo area, told thousands of protesters in Tahrir Square, which is a circle, by the way, all your demands will be met today.
All your demand, all of your demands will be met today, the military told the crowd.
The military's Supreme Council was meeting Thursday without the Commander-in-Chief Mubarak and announced on state TV its support of the legitimate demands of the people.
A spokesman said the council was in permanent session to explore what measures and arrangements could be made to safeguard the nation, its achievements, and the ambitions of the great, great people.
All your demands will be met today, said the military commander for the Cairo area.
Thousands of protests.
That is a huge day.
I mean, there's a lesson in this for the Tea Party.
Can you imagine us marching on Washington and have the chairman of Joint Chiefs come out and say, all of your demands will be met today?
Can you imagine that?
I mean, that's the way to understand this.
You know, Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, a couple others lead a march of people on Washington, 300 or 400,000 people, and here comes the chairman of Joint Chiefs.
Okay, okay, okay.
All of your demands will be met today.
President Obama will leave tonight.
And the worldwide media is on an Obama watch.
Will he go?
Will he go?
Obama, the worst guy in the world.
That's what we would be going through were this happening here.
Hey, we've got rampant unemployment.
We've got economic unrest.
We've got a lot of people not really happy about the way things are going.
We're being spent into oblivion.
Food prices are rising.
There isn't any corn out there because it's all being used to power automobiles.
Yeah, no inflation, we're told.
Everything is fine.
Everything's hunky-dory.
Everybody has a fine great future.
Who's next on the program?
Newcastle, Delaware.
This is Norma, and I welcome you to the program.
Hi.
Yeah, thank you, Rush.
Could I just have a commentary?
Just listen to me, then I'll get off.
The reason why we have chaos in Egypt, President Mubarak, okay.
I don't know him personally, but I do saw a documentary this week on CNN that the people live in cemeteries.
I'm talking about poor people.
They live on $2 a day.
How would he like to live off of $2 a day?
Okay, we need to do something about in all countries, not just Egypt.
These leaders and governments should be more compassionate to the ones that don't have the disadvantage.
And this is a problem globally, not just Egypt.
This is just like, you know, this is the same thing.
You know what?
Norma, you have a brilliant idea that you can.
Yes, we need to help.
This would remedy our situation.
No, no, wait, wait.
I want to explore this.
We've got to find a way to make the poor less poor.
We have to find a way to get more.
We have to find a way to, we have to find a way to care more about the, do you realize that that $2 a day that the average Egyptian lives on is almost 10 times the amount of money Obama's brother lives off of in that hut in, in, uh, in, in, uh, Kenya.
But it's still poverty.
I don't care how you look at it.
Right.
So how would you fix it?
How would you fix this poverty?
The wealth is not evenly distributed.
Ah!
The wealth is not evenly distributed, right?
So, okay.
It's not because, okay, President.
Is that why we have the poor people we have in America?
Because the wealth isn't properly distributed.
And then Obama does not go down into the hood.
He never goes into the hood to see the state of black America, Hispanics, whites living in poverty.
He never goes to the rough places.
He goes to the places that are safe.
Right.
Well.
He's not dealing with the problems of black America.
He's not dealing with the problems.
You have to understand something that Obama's trying to make it so that we send less money to Egypt normally.
