Time Text
Greetings, welcome back.
I'm Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity, half my brain.
Tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
And the email address lrushbow at EIB net.com.
So Obama's personal life, none of our business.
Obama's past, none of our business.
Obama's promises don't matter.
Obama's policies don't matter.
Unless they can be spun in his favor, all the focus, all the attacks must be on whomever his opponent is.
It's not just uh, it's not, it's not just the terms of the debate and a premise that the left and a lot of the fools on our side accept.
Obama personally off limits, Republicans personally fair game.
But it's the same thing when it comes to the issues.
Liberal media do the same thing.
We've got rotten economy, blame it on Bush.
Rising gas prices, blame it on Gaddafi.
Poor old Obama can't close Gitmo, blame it on the Republican Congress, etc., etc., etc.
I've been sick of it for I don't know how long.
How do I know he's lying when he's thinking of close club get because he's a liberal, socialist, Marxist, whatever the hell, they all lie.
Their foundation is a series of lies.
I mean, we all know these are the people who can't dare be honest about their true intentions.
They wouldn't they wouldn't win one election in this country outside of San Francisco, maybe Boston and New York.
Anyway, this next story.
This story is a metaphor for what's going on in Wisconsin and the rest of the country.
With public sector unions versus the taxpayers.
Listen, it's a CNN story.
A man who broke into a house.
Guy who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called the cops.
Guy who broke in to the house called 911, claiming that he was afraid the homeowner, the guy he was going to rob, had a gun.
The suspect, Timothy James Chapik, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night.
Accompanied by two German shepherds, a homeowner, asked Chapick what he was doing in the house.
Chappick had locked himself in a bathroom, made an emergency call, a cop said.
He'd broken into the house.
The owner had come home.
Said he was concerned the owner might have a gun.
So the thief calls 911 to turn in the owner of the.
Is this not sort of like what's going on in Wisconsin?
With the public sector unions versus the taxpayer.
The homeowner also called the cops to report that he had found a man in the house.
So the cops had dueling 9-11 calls.
Oh my gosh, who do we believe?
Police with dogs took the uh the uh the thief, the intruder, Chapick 24, into custody without incident, they said he was booked for criminal trespass.
They did not say if the homeowner did in fact have a gun, but he did have dogs, as did the cops.
So why didn't the PERP call PETA?
So I mean, here you have here you have a perfect metaphor for what's going on.
The thief, the intruder.
The public sector union breaks into the house and calls 911 afraid that the taxpayer, the governor, might have a gun.
While he's using their bathroom.
And then there's this.
I love this.
You know, every time I see a story like this, I'm gonna be one of the first to pass it on to you.
It's from um, I'm not Queensland Australia University of Technology.
Or cut.
C U T, Queensland University of Technology.
Exercise Can increase people's desire to eat high-fat, sugary foods like donuts, and prevent them from achieving weight loss goals, a new study shows.
Queensland University of Technology Associate Professor Neil King from the Institute of Health Biomedical Innovation said exercise caused an increased wanting or desire for fatty, sweet foods in some overweight and obese peoples.
Professor King, a behavioral scientist, said his previous research published in 2008 had shown the ability of overweight people to shed weight through exercise, but it varied considerably.
What that told us is that exercise won't work in the same way for everyone.
Some people lose weight equal to or more than expected weight, whereas some people lose less weight than expected, and we're now beginning to find out why.
Some people exercise increases the number of trips to Dunkin' Donuts.
C. C. I keep telling you.
All right to the audio sound bites.
This is my CPAC speech, February 28, 2009.
I mentioned this yesterday, and I want to revive it today.
When I told the crowd, the assumed throng, that we're gonna hamstring ourselves if all we do is stay focused on policy.
From a standpoint of what we have to do, folks, this is not about taking a policy or a process that the Democrats have put forward and fighting over the round the edges.
If we're gonna convince the minds and hearts of the American people that what's about to happen to them is as disastrous as anything in their lives in peacetime, we're gonna have to discuss philosophy with it.
We are going to have to talk about principle.
Because our principles are not present in what's happening here.
So where the hell do we go to compromise what we believe in when our principles are not there?
Principles are just the opposite of what is happening.
And this was a you know, it was in a longer rant here about the uh this whole notion that everything focuses on policy.
And remember now, at this point in time, we just got shellacked, and I'm the only guy not willing to cave and give in and try to get along and mitigate the damage.
I'm out there saying I hope he fails.
And everybody's having a cow over that.
And I'm saying, why do we accept their policy premise and then negotiate around the edges?
Why do we accept that there must be a health care bill?
Okay, they say we need a health care bill.
Fine.
We disagree with yours, we'll do our own.
Why?
Did we come up with the idea of a health care bill on our own, or are we reacting?
Same thing with all the other policies.
So if we get caught up in policy, they're gonna win all the time because they're the ones that have this never-ending policy agenda.
And we're always going to be on the defensive.
And where do our principles and where does our philosophy tie in when all we're doing is discussing policy after policy after policy.
Let's listen to Reagan.
1961.
This is um the Operation Coffee Cup campaign against socialized medicine, as then proposed by the Democrats.
This is a uh portion of citizen Rinaldus Magnus from a recording distributed by the American Medical Association.
Back in 1927, an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism.
But he said, under the name of liberalism, the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.
It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project.
Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it.
This is 1961, 50 years ago.
50 years ago.
Okay.
Another portion of what he said.
Let's also look from the other side at the freedom the doctor loses.
A doctor would be reluctant to say this.
Well, like you, I'm only a patient, so I can say it in his behalf.
The doctor begins to lose freedoms.
It's like telling a lie, and one leads to another.
First, you decide that the doctor can have so many patients.
They're equally divided Among the various doctors by the government.
But then the doctors aren't equally divided geographically.
So a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town, and the government has to say to him, you can't live in that town.
They already have enough doctors.
You have to go someplace else.
And from here it's only a short step to dictating where he will go.
This is a freedom that I wonder whether any of us have the right to take from any human being.
Amen.
And that is a superb way of looking.
Do we have the right to take that away from anybody else to dictate where they have to get?
By the way, this was in Hillary Care.
Hillary Care was going to a portion doctors geographically.
Pure and simple.
Here's more Operation Coffee Cup campaign against socialized medicine proposed by the Democrats 1961.
You and I can do a great deal.
We can write to our congressmen to our senators.
We can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms.
And at the moment, the key issue is we do not want socialized medicine.
Write those letters now, call your friends and tell them to write them.
If you don't, this program, I promise you, will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow.
And behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country.
Until one day, as Norman Thomas said, we will awake to find that we have socialism.
And if you don't do this, and if I don't do it, one of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset ears telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free.
Fifty years ago.
Five-o.
Five years, five, oh years ago.
Now, many things become obvious and apparent.
That is, the left never goes away.
They never stop.
Look how patient they've been.
Fifty years they've been pushing for this.
That health care bill's been written, sitting in some staffer's drawer for how who knows how many decades?
With just modifications made to reflect current times.
Philosophically, they've had that health care bill that's now Obamacare written for who knows how many decades.
Now how do you interpret Reagan describing this?
I mean, it's pretty tough here.
Talk about losing our freedoms, looking about not just here at everyone, losing our freedoms.
That's not an idly irrelevant thing to say.
Pretty hard-hitting.
But I how many uh how many Republicans these days want to talk about in terms of the Obama agenda resulting in loss of liberty or freedom?
I don't know.
I don't I don't I don't know too many, how many, if any.
When you constrain yourself simply to talking about policy, you know, freedom, liberty kind of tough to integrate as a policy.
Now, how can you have an honest debate on policy when the other side simply lies about their policies all the time?
It's why it's so important to talk about where they're coming from.
Who they are.
So that their real agenda, their real policies are, can be explained and exposed.
Yes, sir, rebub.
Obama's so popular, we have this story from roll call.
Fears grow as Obama hits trail.
On the same day that Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry was taking steps to jumpstart bipartisan talks to avert a government shutdown.
President Obama was in Florida trying to jumpstart something else, his 2012 re-election campaign.
While there may be 609 days to go until the presidential election, Obama has already begun reverting to campaign mode, and some Democrats are starting to worry that their most important ally won't be there when they need him the most on Capitol Hill.
Hey, he's never been there.
The president has made noticeable overtures in the past week to remind people that he is as much the commander-in-chief as he is a candidate up for re-election.
Tonight, Obama heading a Democrat congressional campaign committee dinner with Nancy Pelosi in Boston.
On Friday, he headlined separate fundraisers in Miami for Senator Bill Nelson and a Democrat senatorial campaign committee.
During those events, he ticked off his accomplishments.
For the past two years, said his supporters were the reason he has seen success.
It's unbeatable, though.
People on our side think he might be unbeatable.
Personally popular.
And yet West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin planning to rip Obama on his budget proposals.
In a Senate floor speech today, a rare rebuke from a freshman Democrat, clearly worried about the politics of deficit spending.
Manchin says the president has failed to lead the way in reducing spending.
But he's also criticizing Republicans for partisan and unrealistic budget proposals as well.
Yada yada yet.
But still ripping into Obama.
So loved and so popular, so unbeatable.
Forty-eight percent approval rating.
If he's so popular, how come five Democrats are quitting?
Might be more.
Five Democrat senators splitting the scene, flying the coupe.
And they got a lot of seats they have to defend in 2012 to boot.
So again, it's just more conventional wisdom.
It isn't true.
Universally popular, universally loved, unbeatable.
Our side seems to be believing this.
Their side doesn't.
All right, let's go to the phones because people have been waiting a long time.
Newport Beach, Florida, and John.
Hello, sir.
You're next.
Rush, good to talk to you.
Long time listener, first time caller.
Thank you, sir, very much.
The problem with this S attack is policies because he can change his policies in a second.
Doesn't it I mean, it gives him much too much wiggle room.
He can do whatever he wants to do.
He can say whatever he wants, he can be whatever anybody wants him to be.
Well, there is that.
There is that.
You need to the the approach needs to be assessing his character.
I would love to see someone set up a website and the name of it should just be Obama Lies.
And put on there every lie he has made in the last two or three years.
There may not be the bandwidth necessary to have a right.
One thing about this financial process that we're in, any time you choose to politicize a financial process, you ensure a deficit right off the bat.
So this thing's got to be stopped.
This in this debt process is continuing to really uh enslave our children in the future.
Oh, I know.
But remember now, it's all Bush's fault, and it's Republican Congress's fault, and it's Qaddafi's fault.
All of this, you believe that gasoline prices are Qaddafi's fault.
Honest to God, I mean, you read the state-controlled media, and gas prices are expected to fall when the Qaddafi situation is resolved, one way or the other.
By the way, the Saudis, God love them, our friends, the Saudis, they can't make up the difference in Libyan oil that's lost, because it's two different, completely different grades.
Libyan oil, I believe, is the light, sweet, crude, high quality.
The Saudis is not of that type.
So it's not a it's not a zero-sum game where the oil is um is concerned.
Who's next?
John Three shaped this Jack in uh in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Hello, sir.
You're on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
You know, you mentioned uh you mentioned Palin and Bachman have shown that they've got the guts to take on Obama personally.
And uh they're contenders, I mean they're contenders, especially Palin.
Why why don't why don't you say that uh there are some contenders, GOP contender?
Just because the Rhinos are trying to marginalize Palin uh doesn't mean she's not a top contender.
I think she is, and I think she's going for it.
I'm not I'm not trying to marginalize her.
I just I don't see her in Iowa.
I I don't, I don't I haven't.
She look at there are a bunch of a bunch of Republicans who have said they're running.
They've made it very clear they're running.
Those are the people I'm talking about.
She hasn't yet.
She's running.
Nobody can really announce until she announces.
Uh, true.
That's exactly my point.
But uh but you did so I I I I can't Well you put it this way, Rudd.
Just because she hasn't formally said I'm running, in her she's doing it her own way, and and surely she's running.
I don't know that.
Oh, come on.
You don't either.
You just said it yourself.
No, no, no.
I know she's running.
She just hasn't announced it.
Well, I'm sorry, I don't know that you th I'm the one guy that has the guts to defend her, and you call me for ripping her.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying that geez, that when you were saying no Republican contenders are willing to take on Obama forcefully, Palin and Bachman, especially Palin's a contender.
Do you understand that I have said who did I just say?
The only people gonads on our side wear skirts.
Precisely.
Well, okay.
Who am I talking about?
Yeah, but then to quit saying there's no GOP contenders.
They're they're the contenders.
And Palin's the number one contender.
Uh look, you might want to be her campaign manager, and you might want me to be her campaign manager, and you might want me to take up that charge.
I'm not gonna do it.
She hasn't announced.
I'm I I've I'm not convinced that she's going to run.
Uh I know.
I know.
After I know, certainly, this is what it's like to be me.
Uh uh after Gitmo, they still question me.
After Gitmo, they still tell me what I'm doing wrong.
23 years, I still don't know what I'm doing.
After 23 years.
Well, 22 years into our 23rd, I still have um no clue how to do this.
So forth.
Well, that's why I say you need a strong constitution, sense of self, backbone, and all the rest.
Yeah, I know a lot of people are doubting me to admit there's nothing unusual about that, Brian.
People doubt me every day.
That's what I say.
Makes no sense, but they do.
That so many people doubt me is precisely why we have so many problems in the world today.
It is not a coincidence.
You realize how few problems would exist in this country if people did not doubt me.
I mean, it's what it is.
Now, I also must allow for something.
It is clear, Sarah Palin has not backed off in her criticism of Barack Obama.
Policy-wise, human being-wise, uh character-wise and all that, nor has Michelle Bachman.
And of course, look at what the media's done to both of them.
So it could well be that the rest of our field is holding back because they don't want the same treatment.
They don't want the same thing said about them.
They don't they don't want the Palin treatment.
They don't want the well.
I'm telling you, they look at they look at Palin as unelectable.
They they look at Palin as having been destroyed.
They they look at the at Palin as having been defeated by the media that she could never win an election.
That's what they think.
I mean, coupled with the fact some of them wouldn't want her to, don't misunderstand, but some of them think you gotta understand, folks, our side for for all the avowed intelligence and so forth, they are still creatures of the inside the beltway game led and dominated by the media.
It's still a game about getting the media to like you or to leave you alone or to praise you or treat you fairly.
That that that's the objective.
You know, the media.
I mean, case number one is is uh is McCain.
Look look what what he did in the years prior to seeking the Republican nominal.
Look who he tried to make his base.
And a lot of people on our side um think that they could never get elected if they got treated like I do by the media.
They couldn't get elected, they get treated by the media as Palin is treated.
So they will take steps, see to it that they don't get treated that way.
And one of those steps, don't say anything bad about Obama.
Just that simple.
Here, I mean example of what we've been talking about all day today, a P story by Jonathan Faye.
Gas prices rise when oil prices rise, and they fall when oil prices fall, except when they don't.
When you pay at your gas station depends on an array of factors from what happens on an exchange in New York to what the competition is charging.
You ever remember seeing this story during the Bush years?
When the oil price was zooming to $150 a barrel of gasoline price was upticking to four dollars a gallon.
Do you remember this detailed explanation of why gasoline prices go up?
No.
All we got was Bush's fault.
Gas prices rise when oil prices rise.
And they fall when oil prices fall, except when they don't.
Gas prices are about more than just oil, says A.P. This can wrankle drivers, especially these days.
Gasoline reached a national average of 351 a gallon on Monday.
That's a 14 cents or 4% over the past week.
The week before, the average rose 20 cents, the steepest increase in September 2008.
A year ago, the price was 275.
The average is the highest it's ever been this time of year.
Analysts expect it to climb higher in the coming weeks.
Oil is the biggest factor in gas prices.
It amounts for 50 to 70% of the cost.
Recent upheaval in the Middle East and strong demand for oil around the world have pushed oil prices over a hundred dollars a barrel for only the second time in history.
But the price of a gallon of gas in the pump rises and yes falls for a number of other reasons.
Oil prices can be moved by geopolitics, the value of the dollar, extreme weather or Chinese demand.
Gas prices can be moved by oil prices, refinery problems, or even weather.
Anyway, the p look.
One thing is absolutely clear.
Oil and gas prices have absolutely nothing to do with who is president or which party controls Congress when that's a Democrat.
Only Republicans can be blamed for this.
This is a long story to explain to you how it's not the fault of Obama.
It's not the fault of the Congress.
It's not the fault of any Democrat.
It's not even the fault of big oil.
Big oil is not even blamed here.
No.
And I'm sure you remember how AP wrote such long-winded explanations about how nobody was to blame for high gap price gas prices during the Bush administration, right?
I don't either.
But the eighth AAP makes one thing absolutely clear.
The increase in gasoline prices has nothing to do with Obama.
Nothing to do with the Democrats.
I mean, it doesn't even have anything to do with big oil.
Just amazing.
Just amazing.
It isn't going to be long before rising gas prices are going to be blamed on the Republican presidential nominee for things he is saying during the campaign.
Okay.
That's up next.
Here is Jerry in Wilmington, Delaware.
Jerry, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Uh Rush, I this is thrilled.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Listen, let me tell you first why I love your show.
I mean, your political satire is genius.
I mean, driving Miss Daisy, I mean, it's just brilliant.
I mean, I just drive around sometimes, and you know, I laugh, but you know, but some sometimes just I listen like driving Miss Daisy.
I said, That's absolutely brilliant.
Thank you very much.
Driving Ms. Nancy, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm dry, I'm sorry, driving this Nancy.
I'm a little nervous.
Yeah.
Uh listen, um my wife, my we're uh my wife and I were watching um Mitt Romney on on TV the other night, and and she's a big lib.
I mean, really big lib.
In fact, she she holds group meetings of like six, eight, ten women.
They're all liberals, and they they sit around and they complain about men and politics.
And uh after watching Mitt Romney that night, you know, she said, she said, you know, I might consider voting for him, and I was floored.
And I don't think women are enamored with him as much anymore.
And if I can tell you my ex-senator, and I think I know the reason why he lost the women vote and in a couple months ago.
And if I can use a quote from my ex-senator Joe Biden, I'd love I'd love to explain that, please, if you don't mind.
Uh basically, you know, Joe Biden, remembering when he said uh Obama, he he looks good.
He uh sounds Good.
He you know, he's clean, he smells good, you know, and he promised women the moon if if you know they gave him your vote.
So, you know, I think what happened was once they gave him, you know, a piece of their vote, you know, then then things changed.
He didn't call 'em anymore.
And uh I think that's probably, you know, why they're you know, not enamored with him as much anymore and why he's vulnerable.
And you know, what re you know, Republicans shouldn't be afraid uh to vote against him.
So I look at I I agree there ought not to be any fear uh of Obama.
So you're your your wife uh gaggles the hens and they get together six to eight of 'em and and uh and they're turning away from Obama going to Mitt.
Well, she said she mentioned it.
She knows she mentioned it on at you know, uh not at that particular meeting, but at the end of watching them on on TV and I and I was almost floored, you know, and like Well what do they like about Mitt?
Pardon me?
What do they like about Mitt?
Um she she liked as she said, she said, you know, I don't need I don't promise I don't even know.
You want to know what the answer is, I'll give you the answer.
She wants efficiency, basically.
No, that's the fourteen inch part in his hair.
So what?
He got TV anchor hair.
You cannot be an anchor on television unless you have a 14 inch part in that hair.
No, I I don't think that was the main reason, but uh are you saying that you not a big Romney fan, or or uh you don't think he can win or No, I'm not saying no, no, no, no, no.
I was talking I'm not talking about my impersonation of Romney at all.
Mm-hmm.
Anyway I no, I I think she basically, like a lot of people obviously your wife thinks Romney will call her the next day, whereas Obama hasn't.
Right, right, or at least it'll be effective and efficient.
Uh in fact, instead of uh hoping change, you know, he she she should have a poster uh boring but efficient.
I mean, uh I don't know.
It uh that's what that's what he should promote.
Are you allowed to attend these gatherings when your wife and the other gals get together?
Um most of the time I go to movies or go bowling, but uh, you know, to be quite honest, one night I was I was home and I went in the kitchen and uh got a drink of water and they they know I listen to you and Hannity and uh they attacked me one night.
They said, I don't know, how can you be a Republican and how can you listen to those guys?
So they're they're in the they're in the kitchen.
No, they're in the they're in the living room, and I went in in the kitchen to get a drink of water one night, and you know, and they they just uh went after me, you know, because they knew I was Republican and one of them's your wife.
Right.
Right, it's it's a little tough, especially around Valentine's Day.
Yeah.
It's a little hard to buy a Valentine's card for her, to be quite honest.
Yeah.
Totally imagined.
Totally imagined.
Yeah, I know.
Um I assume well, uh never mind.
I was gonna say if your wife she big she follow your beliefs too.
Well you know, there that that is why we have Proflowers.
Um yeah, but like I said, uh You're gonna need it, pal, after today.
Well, she doesn't she doesn't you know Yeah, don't don't don't you're you're you're calling from Wilmington Delaware, she's gonna hear about it.
You think so?
No, there's no c does uh tentacles of this program reach deep.
I mean the uh you your your wife is your wife's gonna hear about this.
Yeah, so like I said, every Valentine's I bought her, you know, candy, but flowers is you know, since she's been laughing at me since Obama got elected, which you know, I didn't laugh at her for eight years, you know, when when Bush was uh elected.
Well, oh, really, uh you know what?
Ask her to sh she feel like laughing at all the people lost their jobs that are losing their homes and uh can't pay gasoline prices approaching four.
Ask her how much fun is all this.
I mean if you really want to get down and dirty, ask her, you know, she's having all kinds of fun laughing at the fact Obama wins.
Ask her she digs all this this year.
How much laughter is she getting over the circumstances in the country these days?
So that's that's a good point.
Tell her for all her all her uh talk about me, tell her uh what do you think Lindball was right about that?
He said Gitmore was never gonna close.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
But uh listen, can I just I've always wanted to get on and uh hadn't had a chance.
Can I just make an mention a quick Joe Biden point, if you don't mind?
Joe Biden point?
Yeah.
Well anyway, you know, the I thought you did, but but but have at it.
All right, well, here's a different one.
The media, you know, when they were saying, Oh, I'm average Joe, I'm from Wilmington, average Joe, average Joe from Wilmington.
media never told you.
He he doesn't even live in Wilmington.
He lives in Greenville.
It's the it's the aspen of Delaware with all the movers and shakers.
And he's in a three million dollar estate.
And you want to know who one of his neighbors is?
John Edwards.
Average Joe DuPont.
Yeah.
I always for years I've been saying trying to scream that out.
Yeah, average Joe DuPont.
Right, right, right, right.
Well, interesting.
Well, uh, it's it's hard living with a you know, like a liberal woman in your conservative.
Oh, I know.
I know.
I I I uh, you know, does ask ask your wife if women have to pay higher taxes, if they have children.
Uh and so forth.
She's prepared to laugh at the future her own kids have.
Snardley says if you ask her every question that I have given you that you are uh Valentine's Day or not, you're effectively frozen out.
Ken in Lavonia, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yeah, Rush.
There's uh two stories I keep hearing uh being brought up on uh multiple radio programs that if uh if these turn out to be true, I think it really should uh concern the American people.
What's that?
Well, the first one, uh last week we had two U.S. U.S. soldiers uh that were uh murdered by that uh Islamic youth on the bus in Germany.
That's right.
And what I'm hearing, um I don't know if these have been confirmed, but I'm hearing that uh from uh soldiers that were on those on that bus that uh the soldiers uh had firearms on them, but no bullets.
And I'm also hearing a story Well, no, wait a way, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's just that's that's the courageous restraint uh policy.
Well, I'm also hearing that uh the border patrol agents um are firing bean bags or are allowed to fire bean bags that's true at uh at the trend to enter our country illegally.
It's true.
It's also true that uh we have a policy allowing AK-47s to walk into Mexico, be taken into Mexico by by Mexicans so we can trace them, see where they go.
Um there's also something nefarious about this as well.
But no, you're accurate, you're right, the things you've heard.
Well, I think that when it comes to the border patrol agents, I really think that uh we need to start asking our uh representatives in Congress to see if uh we can get those policies changed, uh putting our uh brave men and women in danger.
You know, Ken, um I don't know how to say this.
Uh we have been uh and they're not listening.
Arizona.
Look at what Arizona's had to do.
Arizona's had to come up with its own law which basically reprints American U.S. law on immigration, and Obama's suing them.
I mean, they're all kinds they're not listening.
This this is this is why the country's royal.
This is why there is a Tea Party.
We have been demanding a lot of these things that are only common sense things.
We're firing bean bags at drug cartel kinds from from Mexico.
Uh no, I I think this we are demanding this.
We are asking questions.
We are demanding answers.
Finally, after 50 years of some hearings here into militant Islam leading to terrorism against Americans, and what's the outrage?
Not that it's taken this long to conduct hearings, but that we're doing the hearings in the first place.
A report says too many whites and too many men are leading the military.
Well, what is the criteria we're using to judge this?
Too many whites, too many men leading the military.
I mean too much success at the military.
What's well, we'll explore this and other things, and MPR.
