Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Now, there was a movie last night that I thought was gonna win that didn't.
I know it wasn't eligible because it didn't start until uh this year.
So what really WAG the contraceptive.
And like Wag the Dog.
A movie about a fake war that was on television, Wag the Contraceptive.
Better than anything that was on the roster of possible best movies last night, Wag the Contraceptive.
It just continues.
It continues, and now, ladies and gentlemen, your host, I, the adorable, the lovable, the harmless, lovable little fuzzwall, it's right here in the sound bites.
I'm overwhelmed today, by the way.
I got more than I can possibly get in here, and that's sad.
Because it's all good.
I, ladies and gentlemen, I am killing the Republican Party.
I, your host, the lovable, adorable, harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Am destroying the party.
Let's just go right to the sound bites.
We're gonna start with Saturday night.
What is WBC?
Is this NBC?
What is World News Weekend?
What if what is WBC?
I just now noticed the source.
I never heard of WBC.
Doesn't matter.
They had some guy, some correspondent named David Curley, talking about the Republican Party and Santorum and me.
Establishment Republicans are starting to worry.
Santorum, who leads some national polls, has spent a week talking about social issues instead of jobs.
Everything from abortion, prenatal testing.
Okay, hold it just a second.
Hold it.
Stop, stop the is that our computer problem or is that the bite?
All right.
Good.
Well, I got a window here in my computer that I can't get rid of either, so I don't know how it happened.
Let me get the computer fixed here.
That was just irritating.
We could have sat through that and heard it all.
But I was distracted, but the constant burps and belches.
Okay.
ABC's World News Weekend, David Curly.
Are we ready to give this another wing?
Here we try it again.
Take two in three, two, one.
Establishment Republicans are starting to worry.
Santorum, who leads some national polls, has spent a week talking about social issues instead of jobs.
Everything from abortion, prenatal testing to contraception.
In the past 24 hours, the conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal ran two pieces on Santorum, asking, is he a moralizer in chief, and proclaiming Democrats are praying for a Santorum nomination.
Conservatives, including radio host Rush Limbaugh, aren't buying it.
The Republican establishment is essentially saying that the conservatives are screwing everything up, making a mess of this.
All this talk on social issues, this move to the right apparently is not helping either candidate among that important group of independent voters.
Mitt Romney, our latest ABC news poll, shows him with a gap of 14 points.
And Rick Santorum has seen his unfavorability rating going up as well.
Yeah, wait just a second.
In the first place, this is a crock because Santorum is talking about far more than just social issues.
He's hitting the economy, he's doing all of this.
But the social issues, once again, wag the pill, wag the contraceptive, whatever, brought up by the Democrats.
They entered it into the fray, and I'm not gonna let anybody forget about it.
Second thing is, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that I don't believe the polling numbers.
I've got some polling numbers in the stack here to show Obama's not doing well, and the gas price is hurting him.
And it's interesting, too, on that score.
I've got a couple of stories on um why the gas price, eight reasons, ten reasons why the gasoline price is rising, and not one of them is a is is to do with Obama.
It's it's it's uh both stories are efforts to um uh protect him, to insulate him from having any role whatsoever in the uh in the rising gas price.
Anyway, here's Joe Klein.
This is uh Chris Matthews syndicated show Sunday morning, and uh he's at Time magazine speaking with uh Matthews, who said uh Democrats certainly keep these tapes of the Republican debates alive for the general, right, Joe?
I gotta say, this is Jonestown.
These guys have all drunk this Kool-Aid that spews from places like the Rush Limbaugh program.
God help me.
And I have never seen a field go so extreme and so intemperate and caricature their opposition as the antichrist as this field has.
They are living in an alternative universe where Rush Limbaugh is God.
Uh Man is the jealousy just not dripping in that remark.
They're living in an alternative universe where I, Rush Limbaugh, am God.
Here's how I look at this.
Because all this is aimed at Santorum.
It's all aimed as Joe Klein, the guy, great guy to tell us what's good for us.
Joe Klein really wants Republicans to do well, right?
Joe Klein really wants conservatives to triumph, right?
Joe Klein's telling us, my God, you guys are drinking the Kool-Aid.
You're going off the uh off the edge of the cliff here with Jim uh Jim Jones' Rush Limbaugh, who's God.
Now, Rick Santorum, and a lot of us, by the way, are simply defending the Constitution, which is under assault by this administration.
That's what's going on here.
The First Amendment is being shredded by the Obama regime.
That's what's going on here.
And we're defending the Constitution of Christianity.
Now I know I have said I stand by it.
Nobody ever won anything by defending it.
What are we supposed to do, though, here?
We sit back and do nothing while the Constitution's under assault.
Forget that it's Christianity or religion or the Constitution is under assault.
The president doesn't have the power he's using.
Not legally.
So what's happening here is we are defending the Constitution and Christianity, both of which are the target of big government leftists and of the media.
People like this David Curly guy and Joe Klein.
Now, Santorum, he may defend a little awkwardly here and there.
I mean, I I wouldn't say that what JFK ever said wanted to make me puke, like Santorum did, but the substance of what he said, I can uh I can agree with.
He's feisty.
But the thing about Santorum, the reason they're upset about this is that Santorum's not going to back down.
He's not going to surrender.
He's not going to give away.
He's not going to be shut up on this.
That's what bugs him.
He's not, oh, I'm sorry for bringing it up, and running to the nearest corner and cowering.
He's not doing that.
When liberals attack religion as Obama is with this contraceptive rule.
Obama's not asked about separation, church and state.
Have you noticed this?
This is a fundamentally key and profound point.
The left runs around all this separation of church and state business.
And what Santorum reacted to JFK's Catholic speech in 1960.
And what basically JFK said was that absolute separation.
There is absolute, I will never ask a priest or a friend in religion for advice.
I'm never going to Dad.
That's not what the founders intended.
That's this whole separation of church and state thing has been entirely manufactured and made up, the phrase not even in the Constitution.
And these leftists, they're the guys so concerned about separation of church and state.
Let me tell you who's playing God, and that's Obama.
Obama's playing God.
He thinks he's God, and he has been acting this way since the campaign started in 2007 or 2008.
When Barack Obama tells the Catholic Church or its schools that it must make free contraceptives available, that's the violation of First Amendment.
He cannot do it.
He is violating the precious separation church and state, and when he does it, he's never asked about it, is he?
Oh no, Obama never asked.
Oh no, can't do that.
Well, no, no, Obama's on the right side of this.
Obama's trying to shut up these dangerous social issue Christians.
So it goes one way only for the left.
The state, the regime, Obama, free to impose its will on religious institutions.
All it wants.
But religious institutions are not free to exercise their faith in the public square.
That's what Joe Klein wants us to believe, this curly guy at ABC.
Obama and all the rest on the left.
Obama's free to trample on the whole concept in the Constitution of religious liberty and freedom.
They can impose their will on religious institutions.
They can make the Catholic Church give away abortive fashions and uh birth control pills, all this stuff.
And if that doesn't fly to make the insurance companies do it on behalf of the Catholic Church.
And nobody says, wait a minute, what about separation of church and state, Mr. Obama?
But then a religious institution stands up, tries to exercise its faith in the public square.
It's shot down.
It's criticized.
It's told it can't do so.
Separation of church and state.
Now, who said that these values issues are being debated anyway.
Santorum's hammered Obamacare.
Santorum is hammered Romney care.
Um Romney and Santorum are all over the gas price issue.
They are not ignoring economic issues.
The emphasis in recent weeks on social issues is due to the media.
George Stephanopoulos, January 7th, bringing the whole subject of contraception up, asking a question of Romney in a debate in New Hampshire.
Nobody was talking about it.
Specifically the presidential candidates of the Republican side.
Nobody was talking about it.
They were all talking about the economy.
And that's why this came up.
Because they don't want the Republicans talking about the economy, because it's a blithering failure on the part of Obama.
They don't want them talking about it.
That's why the whole contraception thing came up.
And it came up precisely because Santorum and Romney and Newt are not ignoring economic issues.
Now, if people are sick of these things, if you in the audience, if you are sick of this stuff being discussed, you're sick of the media then.
Don't be sick of the substantive responses that we're getting here.
Then you got people saying that Rick Santorum is ignoring real problems.
He's talking about something because the media asks him about it.
He needs to stay on message.
Why are we so afraid of the media?
Let's attack the media then.
If it's the media's fault, if what you know, let's let's let's all join an attack on them.
They're the ones trying to derail this.
All for Obama.
But you just keep in mind the real denial of separation of church and state being perpetrated by the White House.
The real crossing of that line is not occurring with Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or me or anybody else.
It's happening with Barack Obama.
The Democrats and the media, they're the ones blurring the line.
They're the ones trampling on religious freedom and religious liberty.
And I gotta take a break.
And I'll be back right after that breaker.
We're gonna continue this.
Phone number if you want to be on the program's 800-282-2882.
So there.
You know, the real irony here, ladies and gentlemen, is that the founding fathers of this country wanted there to be no religious test for federal public office.
There was not to be a state religion.
And that's what the Constitution said.
And the original intent was that there not be an official religion and that there not be a religious test for federal public office.
What we have now, ironically, it practically is a religious test.
You cannot be religious and hold public office.
You cannot be Christian.
You cannot be pro-life and hold public office.
That's what the Joe Kleins, the Barack Obamas, and this uh David Curley clown at ABC.
That's what they're saying.
If anybody is bastardizing the U.S. Constitution, it's the Democrat Party.
It is not.
The Republican presidential candidates.
It certainly is not I, the harmless lovable little fuzzball El Rushbow.
Oh, there might be some kooky Republican talk show hosts that are trampling on the Constitution.
I don't know who they are.
But certainly nobody major.
The left is where this is happening.
Very simple.
Now, there's polling data out there.
Gallup USA Today poll.
The Obamacare mandate is hurting Obama in the swing states.
Polling uh the respondents were asked Do you think the individual mandate under Obamacare is constitutional?
75% nationwide think the health care mandate is unconstitutional.
75% in a Gallup USA Today poll.
Now we we have noted before there are very few things that 75% of the U.S. population ever agree on.
But the unconstitutionality of Obamacare is one of them.
As are most of Obama's other dictates.
Dictats, if you prefer that pronunciation.
Obama is the one ruling against the American people.
It is Obama trampling on individual liberty and freedom.
Religious freedom included in that.
In fact, I'll tell you if you look at this, we've got a clear majority of registered voters who call the passage of Obamacare a bad thing.
They support its repeal if a Republican wins the White House in November.
Don't believe any poll that shows you repeal of health care is 50-50 or even slightly majority opposed to repeal.
It's massive the percentage of people that want to repeal this.
In some of the battleground states, I have to say this, according to this poll, Romney care seems to be hurting Romney a little bit.
In head-to-head matchups, Santorum leads Obama 5045.
And yet Joe Klein and these guys want us to believe that all this is hurting the Republic.
It's the exact opposite.
The Romney campaign, the Santorum campaign are all broad-based.
They are hitting all cylinders in the campaign against Obama.
They are answering questions in the media about this phony wag the pill issue that the Democrats have created on this contraception business.
One more audio soundbite about how I, your host am destroying the Republican Party.
This was uh Saturday morning, MSNBC's up with Chris Hayes.
And he said this, he's a guest on some um some columnist named Victoria DiFrancisco.
But he's the guy, Chris Hayes, and this is what he said.
The rhetoric of Russia, the rhetorical Republican Party, the rhetoric of local Republicans was hung around the neck of John McCain, who had walked away from comprehensive immigration reform, and he did very clearly.
So we killed off McCain too.
So we destroyed a Republican Party this year.
Killing the Republican Party.
And the ABC story basically that we played the first soundbite is about how the Republican establishment's in panic over what I'm doing.
Republican establishment in panic over the fact I'm killing the party.
And you know how I'm killing the party?
By not relegating discussion of social issues to the ash heap.
They don't want it talked about.
Oh, go.
Oh no.
They just can't handle it being discussed.
They think it's going to send the independence driving away, and the electoral history of this is anything, but I remind you again about the 2002 midterms.
Do you remember those?
After the midterms are over, the exit polling data came out.
Nobody believed it, but all of the exit polling data was that values played such a large role.
In Republicans winning in a midterm election where historically the party in power does not win seats.
The Republicans gain seats.
It's after 9-11, true.
And there was the time universal support for George W. Bush, but still it happened.
Couple other light-hearted things.
New York Daily News.
Bronx community leaders are upset over a billboard selling vodka.
It greets drivers near an area once synonymous with prostitution.
The billboard says it names the vodka.
And the line on the billboard is escort quality hooker pricing.
And the Bronx community leaders are not happy about this.
Bronx Community Board 2, who've been battling for a decade to revamp Hunt's Point's reputation as a place to pick up hookers.
Rafael Salamanca Jr.'s boy.
When I saw it, I almost fell out of my seat.
That's an inappropriate billboard given what the Hunts Point community's gone through in the past.
But the creators of the ad stood by it but said that they would be responsive to feedback.
So you had a picture of a goat or a lamb wearing a cowboy hat, a bottle of vodka, escort quality hooker pricing.
In Hunts Point in the Bronx, it's obviously working.
The population there, the citizens, the residents obviously get the meaning of it.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, brand new week of broadcast excellence.
Happy to have you along.
Telephone number 800 28282, and the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Michael Janotsky at the New York Times, April 24th, 2006.
About years ago.
Democrats eager to exploit anger over gas prices.
That's it back in 2006.
The Democrats were running for office for the midterm elections, trying to talk us into a recession.
This is after they had failed at trying to talk us into failure in Iraq.
Democrats running for Congress are moving quickly to use the most recent surge in oil and gasoline prices to bash Republicans over energy policy and more broadly the direction of the country.
With oil prices hitting a high this week, prices at the pump topping three dollars a gallon.
In many places, we're now over five dollars in California.
2006.
Prices at the pump topping $3 a gallon many places.
Amy Clobusar, Democrat Senate candidate in Minnesota, making the issue the centerpiece of her campaign.
Ms. Clobushar says it is one of the first things people bring up at her campaign stops.
To various degrees, Democrats around the country are following a similar script that touches on economic anxiety and populist resentment against oil companies.
Yep, it's a metaphor for an economy that keeps biting people despite overall good numbers, said Chuck Yu Schumer of New York.
What else do we have at Chuck Hugh?
Chuck Oh, Chuck Hughes in the news today, folks.
Chuck Hugh tells Clinton to pressure Saudi Arabia to pump more oil.
Senator Chuck Yu Schumer, once Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to press boy.
She's got she's got her own section in the program today for her own rampant hypocrisy.
We'll get to that in due course.
Chuck Yu Schumer wants uh Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to press Saudi Arabia to boost output as rising prices are hitting consumers of the gasoline.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
More oil?
Chuck Yu wants more oil.
Asking the uh the Saudis to pump more oil.
Is that right?
Is that is that what that means?
Senator Schumer tells Clinton to pressure Saudis to pump more oil, he wants more oil.
Then how come this regime vetoes the Keystone Pipeline and has a drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico and says Mox makes fun of the whole concept of producing more oil in the United States?
So Senator Chuck Yu Schumer is asking Senator Clinton to make us more dependent on foreign oil.
That's what he's doing when he's uh asking her to pressure the Saudis, pump more oil.
He wants us to be more dependent, doesn't want to use our own oil.
Obama doesn't want to use how come Chuck Hughes not out there saying, Hey, everybody go buy a vault.
How come Chuck Hughes not have to, hey, everybody go buy um Prius?
Go buy a hybrid.
How come Chuck Hughes not after saying, get your tire gauge out and make sure the pressure's right?
Get a tune-up.
That's what Obama did.
So the Democrats want more oil.
They want the price to come down with more supply.
Funny how that never works domestically.
So in 2006, New York Times, Democrats eager to exploit anger over gas prices at three dollars a gallon.
From BigGovernment Gut.com, Winton Hall with a story, seven gas facts.
Number one, September 2008, Obama's Nobel Prize winning physicist of an energy secretary, Stephen Chu, told the Wall Street Journal, somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.
Which is anywhere from I forget now, 10 to 18.
It's much higher than what we're paying.
Obama has said he wants high price.
Why don't these guys come out and say this exactly what we want?
Stephen Chu, the energy secretary, Nobel Prize winning physicist, has advocated for higher prices.
So has Obama.
Now they're getting higher prices.
You know why they want higher prices.
So you'll have to go out and buy a vault or a hybrid, or get on a bus, or get on a subway, or take mass transit and become like a number.
A robot.
An interchangeable part of the system.
Like a Chinese citizen, taking orders and dictates from the state and their command and control economy.
Truth is they want higher prices.
Problem is it's an election year.
Can't advocate for higher gas prices in an election year.
The second gasoline fact Obama can't escape in 2008, then candidate Obama admitted that he believed high prices, gasoline prices would be a good thing, because they would force Americans to wean themselves off of oil.
But he would have preferred a gradual adjustment.
We had the sound bite last week.
We reminded you of it.
When gasoline hit four bucks, Obama said, I'm not, it's okay.
It's okay.
I just little upset how fast it got there.
January 19, 2009, the day before Obama was immaculated.
The price of gasoline was a dollar eighty-four a gallon.
As of February 20th this year, it was $359, and now it's close to five dollars a gallon.
And don't forget, 1986, it was three dollars a gallon, and the Democrats are out exploiting it and trying to turn it into a big political issue.
Gasoline fact, number four, as Senator K. Bailey Hutcheson points out, offshore drilling permits are being issued at less than half the rate of the previous administration.
The average number of leases issued on public lands is less than half than during President Clinton's term.
Number five, in 2008, Barack Obama seemed perfectly comfortable with soaring energy prices if they meant curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
Obama confessed, under my plan a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
In their hearts and minds, Obama and the left are loving gas prices go up.
They just can't say so.
But they love it.
And that's why there's not a huge effort to bring them down.
There's a huge effort to make you think they want to, but have you, how many stories have you seen where Obama's saying, well, there's really not a whole lot the president can do?
And Jay Carney, well, there's not a whole lot the president can do in 2006.
Don't forget, Chuck Schumer and John F. Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, were mocking Bush for asking the Saudis to pump more oil.
Arabs producing more oil makes prices go down.
But somehow the U.S. pumping more oil won't make any difference.
That's what they tell.
No, no, no.
That's the stupidest thing we ever heard of.
That's this tired warn out cliché.
Drill, drill, drill.
And for 30 years they've been saying that's what the Republicans always say, just drill, drill, drill.
That's gonna take us two to three years if we start.
Well, 30 years ago, where would we be if we'd have just started drilling, drilling, drilling.
Chuck U Schumer in 2008.
Schumer to Bush, stop coddling big oil in the Saudis and get on them and make them pump more.
And Chuck U wants Hillary to do the same thing now.
Obama, he can lower the sea level, but he can't lower the price of oil.
Gas fact number seven, try as he might.
President Obama's campaign will try to distance themselves from the fact that a central pillar of Obama's 08 campaign was a pledge to reduce the pain at the pump caused by high gas prices.
We can go back and we can get all of that audio.
That was a centerpiece of his campaign, a pillar to reduce pain at the pump.
But missing no opportunity to invoke class warfare, Obama said for the well-off in this country, high gas prices are mostly an annoyance, but to most Americans, they're a huge problem bordering on a crisis.
Here in Indiana, gas costs 360 a gallon, he said in 2008.
Now it's 2012.
We're over five dollars a gallon, and it's not much we can do about it.
And from MSNBC.
Eight reasons why gasoline will hit $5 a gallon all over the country this year.
And each one I'll just go through them.
I'm not going to give it details.
Number one, Straight of Hormuz, number two, Iran.
Number three, refiners raising prices.
Number four, other geopolitical risks.
Number five, the European Union may save itself.
Number six, the U.S. economic recovery means higher oil prices.
Number seven, summertime.
And number eight, supply risk.
All eight of these reasons.
Not one of them, not one of them mention Obama or his energy policy.
So we have every effort in the world being made to shield Obama from any relationship to high gasoline prices, despite what the Democrats did all during 05, 06, 07, and 8.
Even have some Republicans now saying, eh, we really don't want to try to tie the president to this market forces.
No president can control.
People want to be honest.
We said back in 2006, there's nothing Bush can do about it.
President does not have a magic wand.
Releasing from the strategic reserves doesn't make a significant long-term distance, a difference in the price of oil.
And people who said that back then want us to say something consistent now.
Well, come on.
Let's not jump on Obama for this.
We all know honestly that presidents can't do anything about it.
Bush was not choking the supply, however.
Obama is.
Obama is a factor in the price of gasoline.
See, that's the difference.
Obama is a factor in the price of oil.
Obama wants higher oil prices.
This is energy secretary and he have both said so.
They want higher oil price.
This is not making it up.
They want higher oil price.
It's less freedom.
It's less mobility.
It puts you, forces you into alternative buying decisions when time to get a new car.
So Obama does have something to do with high oil prices.
Gotta take a break.
We'll be back.
We'll continue with much more here on the EIB network.
Sit tight.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limboy, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
I want to go to the phones.
And we'll do so in Brooksville, Kentucky.
This is uh Vicky, and you are up first.
It's a delight to have you with us.
Hello.
Well, it's a delight to speak to you, Rush.
Thank you very much.
You bet Medic.
Um Hillbilly Ditto's to you, man.
By the way, speaking of that, hey, Vicky, I gotta ask you a question.
Do you watch Justified?
No, I don't, but uh, you know, I've heard a lot of great things about it.
Yo, it's one of the best shows on television.
You've got to watch Justified.
It's in season three, and it uh it takes place based in Harlan County, Kentucky.
Oh, there you go.
All right, that's where all my family's from is down there.
Well in the mountains.
Now, it's look at uh it's a it it in in terms of it, the writing and production, the acting, it is it's it's great.
Doesn't it it it doesn't say the greatest things about Harlan County?
Yeah, well, you know, there's a criminal element there.
Well, it's about the criminal element there, but it's it's about uh, you know, Elmore Leonard created a character named uh named Raylan um uh metal block in the last name.
Raylan Gibbons, a sheriff, uh U.S. Marshal.
But it's just it's just you know it's it it's R-rated.
It's got warnings all oh speaking of Vicky, hang on here just a second.
I have been meaning to do this since the show started.
This will not take away from your caller time.
Folks, how many of you went and saw Active Valor?
You have got to go see this.
It it cleaned up.
It was number one over the week in the box office.
Folks, this movie I'm gonna tell you is unlike anything you've seen.
It real Navy SEALs in a fictional story, uh intrigue terrorism, worldwide terrorism.
It is just it one of the best war movies I've ever seen.
The only problem with this movie is it's rated R because of the language, and some of you might not um want to take your children to it because of that, and it's a shame because they would love it, and it's it's it's not a it's not a propaganda movie, it's not something artificially pro-Navy, pro-SEAL, pro-military.
It is just a great movie, and it has scenes shot.
I've never seen, and this stuff actually happens.
They could not use stunt men to do this.
They needed real SEALs who had the physical ability and training to do some of this stuff.
It is just we watched it and almost sat there and watched it again.
Talked about it for 20 minutes of sat in my seat stunned when it was over.
You've got to see it.
Act of valor.
I kid you not.
Okay, Vicky.
Thanks for reminding me of it.
Well, what was the U call about?
Thank you.
Well, first of all, I wanted to say that my husband is a 24-year Navy veteran.
He's a disabled veteran at this point, and uh, we've known many.
He was a corpsman, and we have known many, many SEALs over the years, and they are indeed well worth our praise and glory.
Right.
And uh I can't wait to see the movie.
So what I called to tell you was the big problem that the establishment, the reason that everybody is pissed off at you, Rush, and the reason that they're running off at the mouth and diarrhea everywhere, is because you're telling us the truth, and nobody else is doing it.
Even Fox News, as much as I love them, had fallen into the trap of pitching the Santorum being nothing but social issues crap.
And even my pastor of my little tiny church in this town that has uh six hundred people in the whole county knew that it was about religious freedom.
Let me tell you something.
I mean, even us hillbillies get it.
It's about what it is.
The reason why you've got critics saying that people are afraid.
They're afraid of the media, and it it it goes back to something I spent a little bit of time on Friday.
It's a human nature thing.
I I don't know what can be done about it.
It's all wrapped up in people being afraid of what others are going to think of them.
And on this social business stuff, there is such an inexplicable stigma to being opposed to abortion.
People don't want to say that they're they're that they're they're they're anti-abortion in public, they're afraid of what's gonna happen to them because the culture has been created by the by the media to believe that it's uh that they're in a minority.
And so because of the fear of what other people are gonna think, because of the fear of what independence might do.
They want to sweep the subject under the rope.
The bottom line is that Santorum and Romney and Newt are talking about everything.
They're not singularly focused on any one thing.
Social issues or economic issues or what have you.
But I thank you.
I appreciate your observation.
I happen to agree with it uh as well, Vicky, so thanks much.
A brief time out here, folks, back before you know it.
Active Valor made nearly 25 million dollars this weekend.
That's almost twice what it cost to make it.
Folks, you are when you watch this, and those of you who went to see it over the weekend, I know this is true, you're gonna wish that you had the ability to rewind it and watch things again.
You're gonna wish that you had it on DVD.
You're gonna want to go back and see it again to watch some of the of the things they do in this movie, Act of Valor.
