Time Text
Yes, America's anchor man is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
No long form birth certificates whatsoever, no sir.
Obama is now doing long form birth certificate jokes.
Uh he was at uh Town Hall in New York yesterday speaking to some thirteen hundred donors and he and he came out and he said, My name is Barack Obama.
I was born in Hawaii, the fiftieth state of the USA.
And they gave him a big cheer.
This is this is what uh Donald Trump has reduced him to now.
He's uh now doing birtherstick.
And uh a lot of people wouldn't put up with that kind of thing from Trump, you know.
I I believe Donald Trump uh asked uh the Queen to produce her long form birth certificate, but she's not rolling over the way uh uh the way Obama did.
No, sir.
And I tell you something, by the way, when you're uh when you're the Queen, uh a long-form birth certificate is a real long form.
I mean that uh it's got a big uh embossed uh crown at the top and everything, goes on forever.
Uh but uh but she's not going along with that.
But Obama he rolls over and now not content with holding a press conference to announce that he has a birth certificate, unlike Clark Kent Superman who's renounced his US citizenship, uh Barack Obama is uh now uh opening his speeches with, My name is Barack Obama, I was born in Hawaii, the fiftieth state of the USA.
By the way, is he sure about that number?
Because I think back when he was campaigning, Hawaii was the uh the fiftieth uh uh fifty-seventh state uh in the Union, I think, uh after whatever it is, the f the fifty-third is Guam, and then I think the fifty-fourth is uh Cryptocristan, uh Barney Frank's the uh senator for that one, and then I think the fifty-sixth is uh uh the the fifty-sixth is Charlie Wrangell's vacation uh tax uh non-tax deductible vacation rental condo in the Dominican Republic, and then I thought Hawaii was the fifty-seventh state.
But apparently uh Obama's revised that and uh Hawaii is now the fiftieth state in the Union, so he's doing uh birthdays.
We were talking earlier about uh the intelligence of the president uh and the smartness of the president.
And uh uh uh Rush talked about this yesterday, that you've got to figure the guy, if the guy is smart, if the guy is as smart as we were told, then he can't simply be screwing up.
He can't simply be inept because we were told he was the smartest guy ever to become president.
Uh so he can't when he's driving the price of gas up, uh and when he stands in front of his subjects, the gracious sovereign from Barackingham Palace stands in front of his subjects and tells them uh they should trade in their gas guzzler for a new hybrid.
Uh and he tells them that green jobs are gonna save the planet.
Uh when he gave that speech after the BP oil spill, which by the way, another thing Rush was right about, that i i that uh it wasn't that big a deal.
Because you know, the planet shrugs us off.
You can pretty much do what you like to the environment.
You can fret about it all you want, but the planet shrugs it off.
And when this country is in a wasteland, a total devastated wasteland, when it's been reduced to rubble, uh, which on the uh the present pace of Obama operations will be around twenty sixteen or whatever, uh the pristine wilderness will grow back and it will be as if we were never here, because the planet can do a pretty good job of of shrugging us off just as the way the Gulf uh shrugged off that BP oil spill.
Rush was right on that too.
Now, uh he comes out and gives a speech after the BP oil spill, and he says, Well, not to worry about this, we're developing lots of new green jobs, and he starts talking about uh some insulated window, some factory that's making insulated windows.
He reminded me of that moment, and you remember that that uh that uh Kevin Klein movie, In and Out, where Kevin Klein is a teacher uh and he's uh there's these rumors that he's gay, so he's taking manly lessons, and there's the uh the he has to respond to these tapes with the appropriate manly answers, uh and he gets it wrong and at one point says, What an interesting window treatment.
That was what Obama says in response to uh the energy needs of the United States of America.
He says, Don't worry, there's a factory with lots of interesting window treatments.
Uh this guy is so smart.
We've been told this guy is the smartest president ever.
Uh he's been compared to all the giants, the giants, Lincoln, FDR.
Uh that one ha you know, a Lincoln Lincoln uh enacted the policies uh he did because he thought they were the right things to do.
FDR enacted the policies because he thought they were the right things to do.
So you have to uh you have to suppose that this guy isn't just incompetent.
This is the way he wants it.
Uh this is what Rush was talking about yesterday.
That that if you look at his if you look at his view of the economy, if you look at his view of uh American power uh in the world, then the stuff that's happening, the shambles in Libya, uh the uh the the dead economy, the spiraling debt, the ever increasing dependency uh uh uh of the American people, the ever larger proportion of the American people who are wards of the state.
Uh this isn't an accident.
This is the world he wants.
Obama is building the world he wants.
Uh it comes at a huge price, but the idea that somehow, you know, in effect he wants he he wants uh sustained economic growth uh and he and he and he wants a stable uh geopolitical regime around the planet under uh under the benign American superpower.
No, sir.
He doesn't think it's a benign American superpower.
He doesn't think capitalism is good.
He thinks we should have gas prices uh the same price they are uh over in Europe.
Gas is ten bucks a gallon in the United Kingdom.
That's why they're all going to the wedding in carriages.
Cause uh because the horse uh isn't ten bucks a gallon.
Admittedly uh the the horses are very flatulent and that increases the global warming, which is as devastating as gas uh from uh your automobile, but uh it's not ten bucks a gallon to saddle up your horse and ride the gold coach uh uh over to uh Westminster Abbey.
So uh so this is the world that Obama is ushering in.
And that don't forget, this is what intelligence means to these people.
I'll give you a couple of examples of what intelligence is in the world today.
This is from the first edition of the Journal of Animal Ethics, a new academic publication uh published jointly by the Oxford Center for Animal Ethics and the uh University of Illinois, uh Barack Obama's uh current uh state of residence.
He has his long-form residency certificate from the state of Illinois.
Uh they've issued an editorial condemning the use of derogatory terms for animals such as critters and beasts, and says that derogatory language about animals can affect the way they're uh they're treated.
Uh they call on us to stop using the word wildness uh as synonymous with uncivilized, unrestrained, barbarous existence.
There is an obvious prejudgment here that should be avoided.
So when you s you switch on the TV and it's spring break in Florida and you and the host says, girls gone wild in Florida, uh it's very demeaning to animals to compare them with American girls.
And this uh Professor Lindsay, Professor Andrew Lindsay, and Professor Priscilla Cohn of Penn State University have written a strong editorial attacking this uh dis derogatory use of the term wildness.
But it doesn't stop there.
There are also many other terms in the English language that they want to see stamped out.
Phrases such as sly as a fox, eat like a pig, or drunk as a skunk are all unfair to animals, they claim.
This is how intelligent people pass their days.
This is this it took not just Oxford University, but the University of Illinois and two professors, this other one's from Penn State University, uh it it took it took the greatest minds uh of the planet's most elite uh educational institutions uh to come up uh with an argument that using phrases such as sly as a fox, eat like a pig, drunk as a skunk, uh are deeply uh damaging uh and derogatory and should not be used.
Okay, that's one thing.
Now we got another guy.
This is from Surgery News, which is published by the American College of Surgeons.
And the president-elect of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Lazar J. Greenfield, writes an editorial for Valentine's Day a couple of weeks ago, uh in which he says uh that uh everybody should be romantic on Valentine's Day,
because studies show that the happiest women are those who are having unprotected sex because of ingredients in semen that include mood enhancers like estrone, cortisol, prolactin, oxytoxin, uh, and serotonin.
And these are all you may not think about it on Valentine's Day.
On Valentine's Day, you may Your priority may be uh the box of chocolates, the lights turned down low, your old Johnny Mathis greatest hits LP on the hi-fi.
You may think that's doing all the work, but it's not.
It's uh it's ingredients in semen like estrone cortisol prolacting, oxytoin and serotonin, uh, and of course sperm.
Uh delivering these compounds into the richly vascularized vagina turns out to have major salutary effects for the recipient.
Now, this is a scientific survey.
And this guy, who's the president elect of the American College of Surgeons, writes this editorial, and immediately a certain kind of woman you I don't need to go into details here, but a certain kind of woman who doesn't like all this talk about, you know, the benefits to a vascularized vagina of all this uh male stuff like sperm and prolacting and oxy token and serotonin and all this kind of stuff, uh, complains about it.
And so not only does Dr. Lazar J. Greenfield, the president elect of the American College of Surgeons, has to issue a groveling apology uh for even daring to suggest uh that women benefit from having unprotected sex with men, he then has to uh he has to resign.
He goes ahead, uh the prominent surgeon resigns post after backlash over editorial.
This is from National Public Radio.
The American College of Surgeons will have a new president come this fall.
Uh he's ba this president has basically been taken out by male sperm.
He dared to suggest there's no precedent for this in the history of the American College of Surgeons.
The president of the American College of Surgeons has had to resign for suggesting there are benefits to women from male sperm.
These are so we have the first we have the uh animals, uh the animal ethics guys from Oxford University and the University of Illinois uh suggesting that it's derogatory to use terms like drunk as a skunk.
Now we have the uh now we have th the uh Dr. Colleen Brophy, a professor of surgery at Vanderbilt University, uh, said she was aghast at the suggestion, aghast at the suggestion that there may be benefits uh to women from male sperm.
Uh and so the the the poor old guy, he's over.
He's had to uh fall on his sword, so to speak.
Dr. Lazar Greenfield, it's over for him.
Uh the American College of Surgeons uh has been taken out uh for suggesting for for for for in effect reporting a scientific study uh analyzing benefits to women from semen.
These are how intelligent people in America now pass their time.
What do you think would happen if one of their own got elected as President of the United States?
Well, the faculty lounge in November 2008 got one of its own elected as President of the United States, and uh the picture is pretty much as you would expect.
1800-282-2882, Mark Stein in for Rush.
Mark Stein in for Russia's Royal Wedding Fever Mounts.
By the way, by the way, do you know where the Queen was?
Where on the planet Princess Elizabeth was at the moment, at the precise moment she became queen.
She was in Kenya.
Eh?
What do you think of that?
That's a mighty odd coincidence, isn't it?
You see, the conspiracy goes way deeper than you thought.
Let's go to Matt in Matt is calling from uh Niceville, Florida.
Hey, Niceville, isn't that uh where Clark Kent grew up?
Niceville, Niceville, Florida.
Welcome to the uh Rush Limbaugh Show, Matt.
Great to have you with us.
Hello, Mark, uh, thanks for taking my call.
That's a small bill.
We're uh small truck.
That's true.
So you're not renouncing your US citizenship.
Not one bit.
Not one.
Okay.
Okay, that's good.
You want to be an American, uh God for nothing, all the other good stuff.
Right.
Hold on to that long form birth certificate.
You bet, you bet.
Hey, listen, I was gonna call and talk to you about the piece you alluded to about uh about uh the comparison of Obama with Neville Chamberlain and how you had mentioned that uh Winston Churchill was a moron.
That's how they won the war.
Well it seems to me that there is a uh Democrat icon named Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who actually uh initiated a lot of social programs before the war and actually became a good wartime president as well.
So would that make the uh liberal icon and Democrat icon a moron?
Yeah, that's uh that's fascinating because the the thesis as uh as invol uh as invoked by the these guys is is that war brings the moron into his own.
So that uh for the nineteen thirties you needed a smart guy like Neville Chamberlain in Downing Street, but then once uh Hitler started uh invading countries, uh you need you need a world renowned moron like Churchill.
Once we had 911 we needed a renowned moron like uh George W. Bush that the moron is better in water.
So where does that leave FDR?
As you say, he was he was there all during the 30s, instituting social security, the big liberal icon.
Uh and he's also there uh seeing the United States through uh through to victory uh in the Second World War.
And uh and so uh and so that that's is he the exception that proves the rule, or are they now want do they now want to argue that FDR was uh a renowned symbol and uh merely a uh bumbler in the uh in fact who who was it who said somebody said uh there was somebody who said that uh uh that uh FDR was a second class mind but a first class temperament.
Now who was it?
Was it Oliver Wendell Holmes?
I forget who it was now.
Uh but so uh so they wouldn't be the first to advance the argument that uh that F FDR was a second rate thinker.
But the but the but the the whole argument with Obama was that he was actually Michael Beschloss, who's the historian who studied uh Roosevelt and the other American presidents, is uh advanced the proposition that Obama is the smartest man ever to occupy the Oval Office.
And I'm fascinated by this.
I'm fascinated to know what original thought, what original thought has ever been expressed by Barack Obama?
I mean, g has it has he said anything that to you, Matt, that has struck you as particularly incisive.
Uh not particularly.
I think all of his ideas have been um presented to him on a teleprompter.
Um but uh but with the um the duality again with uh with Roosevelt being um a wartime moron and a peacetime brilliant liberal democrat, perhaps the duality causes demise.
Uh yeah, he died well, he died uh at the age of sixty-five.
Uh it's it's it's always interesting to me that uh that the father of social security intended it to be for you to live for your last two or three years of life.
FDR himself died uh uh before he could ever collect uh social security.
But the idea that Franklin Roosevelt would be would be cheerily proceeding with a program in which people spend twenty or twenty-five years uh living off the government as a kind of long holiday weekend is uh is uh in is uh preposterous.
Uh and that's actually the po that's actually uh the trouble with a lot of the big thinkers is that the big thinkers attempt to legislate the future, which is what entitlements are.
Entitlements are an uh uh an attempt by a here and now legislature, here and now administration, uh, to legislate the future.
And even your great liberal genius like FDR uh never factored in uh declining birth rates, increased life expectancy, the idea of uh octogenarians, non-igenarians, people like Obama's mother getting uh grandmother getting hip replacements, uh, and basically spending uh so we're when we're advancing to the kind of Greek model where you retire in your fifties, live until you're eighty, uh, and basically spend uh uh a third of your life living off uh living off the government.
And uh uh that that's the problem that here and now legislatures, here and now administrations attempt to uh legislate the future, and you and you can't do that.
Thanks for your thanks for your call in uh in is Niceville as nice as it sounds, by the way, Matt.
Oh, Matt's gone.
So I'm uh that's that's great, uh HR.
I'll never find out how nice Niceville was now.
Uh that's uh I'm uh tra tragedy, tragedy for me.
Uh Matt in Niceville in uh Niceville, Florida.
I hope it is as nice as it sounds, uh I'm uh I'm sure as is.
And it was Smallville, he he corrected me.
It's smallville where Clark Kent grew up.
Smallville is a hellhole.
You know, smallville, where big guys like Clark Kent, they land from Planet Crypton, they get taken in by Americans, they're raised, this country does everything for them.
Then he goes to Metropolis, he gets this lifetime tenure job uh at the Daily Planet.
He's gonna be the last working newspaper reporter in America.
The New York Times is laying off people.
Uh the Miami Herald put itself up for sale and was told it was completely worthless except for the uh uh for the waterfront uh property.
Uh newspapers are going out of business all over this country.
Clark Kent will be the last working newspaper man in America, and the ungrateful SOB decides he's going to renounce his US citizenship.
Uh Clark Kent, Superman, has decided has said in his words that uh truth, justice and the American way isn't enough for him anymore.
He's there there's a line to stick on Obama's prompter.
Truth, justice and the American way isn't enough anymore.
Just doesn't cut it for him, doesn't do it for him anymore.
It was nice, it's kind of back in 1938, that kind of thing you could run with, you could go with, uh, into the 50s, into the sixties, it was fine, it was fine.
But truth, justice in the American way just doesn't do it for him anymore.
Uh the uh Superman is renouncing his US citizenship.
Don't try this at home, folks, because the RS still has the right to tax you for ten years after you renounce your US citizenship.
Yes, America's Anchorman is away.
This is your undocumented anchor man sitting in 1800-282-2882.
We've been talking about uh the smart guys.
The smart guys got the smart president they always wanted, uh and and look at and look at what's happened.
We're borrowing a hundred and that's how smart we are, by uh by the way.
We're borrowing a hundred and eighty-eight million dollars.
The government of the United States is borrowing one hundred and eighty-eight million dollars every single hour.
In the uh in the course of uh today's show, they will have borrowed three-fifths of a trillion dollars in the time I of a billion dollars in the time I'm on the air.
Three-fifths of a billion dollars.
They do a hundred and eighty-eight million dollars.
This is the official figure, so you can bet it's actually higher than that.
Uh and by the time you factor in liabilities uh under uh uh under Social Security Medicare, you know, we'd need to borrow uh uh uh a figure ten times uh higher than that.
But a hundred and eighty-eight million dollars we borrow every hour.
The federal government of the United States of America borrows in your name.
Now I mentioned uh uh earlier why uh people like this would why people would think President Obama is smart, and it's a particular definition of smartness.
It's the kind of smartness that as I mentioned earlier, when the uh president of the American College of Surgeons makes an allusion to a uh uh to a scientific study uh showing uh that there are benefits from male sperm uh and uh and and that the ingredients in semen have a have a healthy effect on the richly vascularized vagina.
Uh and by the way, I only keep saying that because I've never had course in all the years I've been on this planet, I've never had course to use the words vascularized vagina.
You know, every time, occasionally when I'm uh at the office party and they say stand up and sing a Christmas song, there's no Christmas songs.
I mentioned the phrase vascularized vagina.
You don't get to use it terribly often, so I'm saying it a lot today.
Vascularized Vagina watch on the EIB network.
Uh the the uh president of the American College of Surgeons had to resign because female doctors like Dr. Colleen Brophy, a professor of surgery at Vanderbilt University, uh objected to him alluding to this survey that uh that uh about the uh scientific survey about the restorative properties of unprotected of women having unprotected sex with men.
Don't try that, by the way.
Female listeners, any females listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show, don't whatever you do, uh even think about having unprotected sex with a male of the opposite sex.
Don't believe what what the head guy of the American College of Surgeons tells you.
It's not in the least bit healthy.
Stay away from it, stay away from it.
Tuck yourself up with uh with a uh with uh with with with a nice glossy magazine uh that's got a uh a picture of Prince William with it.
But don't br in it, but don't go anywhere near a real male of the opposite sex.
Uh don't even think about that.
That's what smart people are telling you.
And then we got the other smart thing from the uh new publication, uh the Journal of uh Oxford University and uh University of Illinois saying we can't use phrases like sly as a fox and drunk as a skunk because they're derogatory to animals.
This is how smart people react.
Now, uh a guy uh a guy uh wrote to me, uh just sent me an email, Gary H. sent me an email saying uh those guys saying you can't say drunk as a skunk and and sly as a fox are dumb as a rock.
You can't say dumb as a rock, Gary, because the uh uh American uh uh uh uh American Journal of uh uh of uh of uh geological ethics will tell you that that is derogatory to rock.
So please don't please don't even think of using the phrase dumb as a rocks.
These are these are what the smart people in our society busy themselves with.
And when you when you what's the point?
What's the point of uh of of erecting a regime in which a man has to resign, a brilliant man, a man who has climbed to the very peak of his profession, and he gets destroyed.
He gets taken out by feminists who who object to his Valentine's Day editorial.
What is what is the the point about the animal ethics magazines?
It's all about control.
It's all about getting you to tiptoe around on eggshells to absurd degrees, ever more absurd degrees.
On Sunday, in the Isle of White in England, a pub singer was arrested on suspicious uh suspicion of racism for singing the classic chart hit Kung Fu Fighting.
Do you know kung fu fighting?
Number one, number one record in December nineteen seventy four.
This guy uh he does oldies night at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown on the Isle of White.
Uh and he's in the middle of singing kung fu fighting and a couple of guys are passing by.
They're not even patrons of the bar.
They just happen to hear the sound of kung fu fighting the strains of kung fu fighting in the middle of the song leaking out onto the sidewalk.
And they're Chinese.
So they go and report this guy for racism and uh and the Isle of White police come and arrest him.
By the way, don't you think uh Isle of White itself actually is a pretty racist name.
I mean why doesn't that island change its name?
If ever there was a racist name, Isle of White is it, you know come on.
And he shouldn't be singing if he's on the Isle of White he shouldn't be singing kung fu fighting.
He should be singing play that funky music white boy play that funky music Isle of White Boy.
So he's there, he's there.
He's singing kung fu fighting and that now is a race crime in the United Kingdom.
And that is why the idea that Obama would usher in the postracial utopia was completely preposterous.
Of course he's not going to do that he comes from the world the same world that says you can't say drunk as a skunk because it's derogatory to animals and they'll have the the skunks will launch the almighty class action suit against us.
he comes from the same world as the American Academy of Physicians where the feminists say it doesn't matter what the scientific survey says, how dare you insult members of the lesbian physician community by suggesting that all they need is to have a good bunk up with some fella who's loaded up with restorative properties of male sperm.
How dare you?
How dare you?
I don't want to see the scientific survey.
Identity politics identity politics is the world in which this guy has lived and it is getting more insane.
It strikes at the heart of uh equality before the law for example if I sing uh if I sing kung fu fighting to HR that's not a that's not a hate crime because HR doesn't belong to any uh designated identity group as far as I know he's not a Chinese person he's not a lesbian he can't sue me for singing kung fu fighting uh at him he's a white male so he just has to sit there and suck it up and take it even if I do the extended disco remix.
But if you happen to sing kung fu fighting while a couple of Chinese guys are passing by, it's a hate crime and you get arrested for racism.
Now I wouldn't have chosen this isn't the hill I would have chosen for Western civilization to die on.
You know, disco hits of nineteen seventy four.
But as Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer said in the darkest days of Nazi Germany, first they came for the guys who sing kung fu fighting and I did nothing because frankly I was never into disco and I still have painful memories of when I snag my afro on the top of the glitter ball back in nineteen seventy seven.
But when they come for the guys when they make uh singing kung fu fighting racism the smart guys have made the world's most stupid civilization and a civilization too stupid to survive.
So if we do have to if if if kung fu fighting is gonna be the last ditch, then let's go for it.
Everybody was kung fu fighting don't any police guys out there come and get me it's a race crime and I'm proud of it.
Those cats were fast as lightning come and arrest me lock me up for it.
In fact, it was a little bit frightening.
It is a little bit frightening.
It's a little bit frightening how stupid Western society from the United States to Australia has become that we think it is now entirely normal to arrest a guy uh because uh a couple of Chinese people happened to hear him singing kung fu fighting.
Because it inc uh, you know, I don't know why.
Did they not like the line there were funky China Man from Funky Chinatown?
I always thought that was great.
I well at the time I f when I first heard it, I thought of how cool it would be to be a funky China man from funky Chinatown.
I was a non funky honky.
Why is that a race crime?
The the world, the Western world is putting itself out of business.
This royal wedding, by the way, tomorrow, I see the Queen is offended by the fact that the bride and groom have chosen to have a disco after the ceremony.
Uh I hope at this disco, if he's got any guts, Prince William of Wales will stand up there and he will take his beautiful bride, and the very first song they play at the Royal Disco after the wedding will be Kung Fu Fighting.
Kung Fu Fighting.
When they criminalize kung fu fighting, it's over.
You're dead.
Your society is gone, man.
Gone, gone, gone.
And it's just the trivial end, by the way, uh, of of what is uh most destructive and offensive about identity group politics, which that it starts it it ends equality before the law.
Uh for example, this uh pastor, the Koran burning pastor who's been basically being forbidden to go and protest uh in Dearborn, Michigan.
He's basically subject to a form of internal exile of the kind they had in the Soviet Union, uh, where he can't go.
This guy cannot go and hold lawful protests outside mosques uh in Dearborn, Michigan.
He's basically outside the mosque exclusion zone.
The mosques are in the green zone and he's not allowed uh he's now uh not allowed into it.
Uh th that that's the what this kind of thing does.
It strikes at the heart of equality before the law.
If you sing kung fu fighting to HR, it's not a crime.
If you sing kung fu fighting uh to the president of China, you've just committed a hate crime.
Equality before the law is the most important principle, and all this nonsense imposed on us by the so-called smartest people, uh is is killing us.
And you know why?
Because it's not about being smart, it's about control.
It's about ever more statism and the statist enforcers that you need to enforce all these kinds of stupid laws.
Oh, you were rude to the you said you said drunk as a skunk.
The skunks won't like that.
You can't say that.
Ooh, you talked about the restorative properties of male sperm.
Oh, you can't do that.
You gotta lose your job.
Oh, you sang kung fu fighting, we gotta arrest you for racism.
It's about control.
Control control.
It's certainly not about being smart.
Mark Stein in for Rush 1800-282-2882.
Let's go to Wesley in Howell, Michigan, and doesn't the state of Michigan just make you wanna howl?
Great to have you with us, Wesley.
You're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Thank you for taking my call, Mark.
I really appreciate you taking it.
Uh I've been listening for about ten or fifteen years to the insanity that goes on in this country.
And um I was a turnaround specialist in an international environment.
I served in seven different countries.
I turned around more than twelve companies using the people that was there.
And uh what I when I look at the management process that's going on within this government, nobody's in charge.
There's not a plan.
An organization is dysfunctional.
Direction is lacking, and everybody's trying to control everything.
It it's nothing but insanity that goes on.
But you know, you know why that is, Wesley?
It's because uh there are not guys with private sector experience.
Now you said you worked uh you you turn around whatever it was, twelve uh twelve companies in seven different countries.
Yes.
This this administration has the least experience of private sector business of any uh US administration this century.
I mean, uh Obama knows nothing about the private sector.
Timothy Geithner, the man who regulates, presumes to regulate a multi-trillion dollar economy, has never created a dime of wealth in in his life.
They they they know nothing of the world in which you've lived.
Well, you know, if they if they read the first page of management one oh one, they're gonna find out that you need to participate, you need to synergize, and you need to empower your people, and you need to build functional and cross-functional teams and listen to them.
Because, you know, when when I went into a company, we took the top level out and I re I took that job.
Right.
And we replaced those people with people that were the results oriented, people with experience.
And people that knew how to do things.
I mean, you know the you know I've dealt with a lot of intelligent people in my life.
Not very many intelligent people are smart at all.
What happens is they think that if they control everything and they tell people what to do, things are going to get better.
But what happens is they continue to do the same thing and expect different results.
And that that's been going on for twenty years.
And nobody wants to change what they're doing in order to to make things better and to give some sensibility to what goes on in this in this government.
But is but isn't there a difference though between a government and a corporation?
Walmart, for example, decided to go green.
They got Al Gore, an Al Gore advisor, they put him on his board.
Uh he was repositioning the company, they were they were taking out all the sort of we sell it cheaper than anybody else on the planet stuff, and they were getting in all this sophisticated, eco-friendly stuff, and uh they uh it it was catastrophic.
They started making losses uh, I think for the la whatever it is, the last six straight quarters.
So they changed, they got the message and changed.
When when when uh when government creates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack, when it creates Medicare, when it creates socials, even though we're heading straight for the iceberg, everybody nobody changes.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter how many icebergs you stick in front of the ship, government just plows on straight for it anyway.
