Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 podcast.
Yeah, people if people only knew the uh if only knew the truth here.
Yeah, they arrived.
The iPhone here.
I'm I'm I'm currently restoring from my iCloud back up.
But I could have been on this 45 minutes ago instead of just starting it now.
It's so typical.
I was given the wrong phone number.
Anyway.
It's Friday, folks.
I'm gonna do everything I can to keep focused on this show today here.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Also have audio soundbite number 12 standing by, Mike.
Don't worry, folks.
I'm only teasing with you.
Here we are, open line Friday, and we are loaded.
We are loaded.
We have upbeat and well.
It is upbeat and inspiring in terms of the campaign.
But the same news is devastating for our country.
That's the dichotomy.
Obama is stepping in it big time.
He was finally, for the first time, maybe in four years.
Obama had some real questions.
And from of all places, from Univision.
From the uh from the Hispanic channel Univision, find some hard questions.
I've actually put a montage together here, just the question.
The questions tell the story.
His answers were were you can't change Washington from the inside.
You can only do it from the outside.
That's how I got elected.
It's stupid.
It's silly.
You can't.
Yeah, they did.
You can't change Washington from the inside.
I've learned that now.
You can only do it from the outside.
That's how I got elected.
Well, then what the hell are you doing?
You're admitting you failed.
He admitted he failed.
Anyway, uh we got that.
We've got I told you the end of the program yesterday.
This, you know, the stuff we had yesterday with the media say we're in the recovery, all because that stupid story from the census on people moving.
I hate to tell you, but the the economic news is not good.
It's not good anywhere.
It's it's this is the dichotomy.
That's for us in the campaign that's good, and ultimately it's good because our side can fix this, but you hate the bad news because it's reality for people.
So it's it is what it is.
And uh we deal with it quite it to show you.
I'm I'm minding my own business here, preparing the program, not bothering anybody.
I happen to look up at Fox, and I see they're doing a story.
It's this morning.
It's two hours ago.
What graphics says?
White House compares Middle East upheaval to the Berlin Wall falling.
I said, what in the Berlin Wall falling?
This is more like 1979.
There's no there's no sim the Berlin wall falling meant freedom for everybody.
We got tyranny spreading across the Middle East.
They didn't burn the embassy in Berlin.
Now they're burning the embassy in Pakistan.
Oh, speaking.
Folks, you gotta hear this.
Let me find it.
Sound by twelve.
I mentioned this to you yesterday in the program, and then last night I finally got the audio.
There you're not gonna get everything.
Listening to this, but you'll get enough.
There's some graphics on the screen.
Um that little translation and they have some stuff, but for the most part, this a the 42-second commercial.
It's an Obama regime ad apologizing to the Muslim world in Pakistan for the video.
Now that that story's over.
Everybody's admitting that Susan Rice was sent out to try to establish a narrative on the Sunday show that the video was the reason for all of this, and that's imploded.
So their narrative is imploded, but they are continuing to apologize.
And if somebody, well, you know, the embassy in uh Pakistan are just as uh bunch of neophytes as the embassy in Kai.
It's not the embassy, it's Obama.
This is his show.
He's giving the orders.
It's his, it's it's his uh culture that has been established in this administration.
The culture of any organization, some of the guys top.
That's why the culture here is so clean and pure, wind-driven snow, optimistic, upbeat, happy, uh achievement oriented.
I I set the culture here.
Roger Ailes sets a culture at Fox News.
It's one of the most that's amazing.
All the hundreds of people there.
That culture.
Well, Obama sets a culture for the regime.
So they can try to pass all this off on the employees of various embassies.
And I have no doubt that they're, you know, little knuckleheads that come out of conflict resolution 101 and all that.
But you gotta hear this.
This is running.
I mean, keep in mind now that there's there's burning the flag and the embassy in Pakistan's under siege.
And uh more than 17 people have died in demonstrations in Pakistan after the government declared today to be a public holiday to let people protest.
You know what they're doing?
This is a public holiday in Pakistan.
Let people protest under the banner of Love the Prophet Day.
And all carrying this notion forward that this video out there has so blasphemed the prophet that whole countries have to get the day off now to deal with it.
Um in the midst of all this, 17 people have died in demonstrations, love the profit day and 17 people die.
This ad, this ad is running on Pakistani television.
Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths.
We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence.
None.
Let me state very clearly, and I hope it is obvious that the United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video.
We absolutely reject its content and message.
America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation.
That's that's that's that's folks, that's I I can't believe this.
But it's true.
That ad is running all over Pakistani TV.
We were, if not the first, we were among the first to tell you about this yesterday.
Uh we didn't have the uh actual audio of the ad, but we uh we knew about it.
Now the uh the ad obviously uh isn't isn't working.
Sorry, I this don't want to laugh.
But I mean it's so it's so pathetic.
This is just this is just it's embarrassing.
This is rank incompetence, and they're dead serious.
They actually, you have to understand now, somebody thinks this is a brilliant idea.
Stop and think of it.
Somebody at the regime thinks this is a brilliant idea.
$70,000.
$70,000, what I think it's the uh, yep, cost the embassy $70 grand.
$70,000 to run that.
White House comparing the Middle East of people to the Berlin Wall.
Coming that in their dreams.
Either they don't understand what happened at the Berlin Wall, or else they're depressed about what happened at the Berlin Wall.
Probably a little bit of that.
Or they're just idiots.
By the way, I gotta give a shout out to Andrea Tarantula at Fox News on the five show yesterday.
This was great.
Beckle, poor Bob.
Bob, you know, he's he's he's on Fox.
He's he's got to spout the regime line, and the regime line is Osama's dead and GM's alive, and that means Obama's qualified best president ever or what have you.
And apparently Bob Beckel kept repeating GM's alive, Osama bin Laden is dead, to which Andrea Tarantula said, so is our ambassador in Libya.
Ouch and double ouch.
Snerdley is applauding that on the other side of the glass.
So is our ambassador to Libya.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, open line Friday.
It means when we go to the phones, you get to talk about whatever you want.
That's not the case Monday through Thursday, even though it may not sound like it.
We're height tightly and heavily screened on Thursday.
And what it means you only get to talk about things I care about Monday through Thursday.
Friday, doesn't matter if I care about it or not.
Snerdly will zoom you right through.
Let's take a brief time out here, get started with all the rest of the program when we get back.
You're overthinking it.
You're over Yeah, I just threw out a very obvious question to Snurders.
Why?
Let's go, let's go to Benghazi for a second.
Why would you not blame terrorism for this?
Why would you go out of your way to blame a video?
Why would you not blame terrorist activity for this?
Well, Snerdley gave me this 10-minute dissertation of well, if you're out playing golf, and if you're not reading the intelligence briefs over and you don't know, no, no, no, no.
I mean, other than that, it's a great answer.
Don't misunderstand.
I am not, I'm not in.
Don't you want the natural instinct?
It was a political effort.
So that guy with the video equals Romney.
That guy with the video equals conservatives.
You blame the video because they're a bigger enemy, the video conservatives bigger enemy than all than Al Qaeda is.
You blame the video for campaign.
It's a campaign tactic.
It was a strategy, and it's backfired.
The video was made by a conservative Christian.
That's that's that's the story.
And then they're sticking to it.
Another reason, why wouldn't you want to blame the terrorists?
I mean, 9-11, 2001, terrorism, it happens, it's been happening for two, three decades.
Why would you, as president of the United States, go out of your way to exonerate the terrorists who kill your own ambassador?
Why would you do that?
Folks, the answer to that is a profundity.
Well, you could say, if you blame the terrorists and they really get mad.
Oh, they really get mad.
And there might be some of that in the State Department.
There might be some thinking along those lines.
If you blame the terrorists, then you are admitting that your foreign policy is in shambles.
If you blame a terrorist, it means your security isn't up snuff.
If you blame the terrorists, it means they got away with it.
If you blame the terrorists, it blows to smithereens this whole notion from 2008 that was never going to happen anymore because Obama's in there.
Obama gets the speech in Cairo.
Everybody loves the guy, unifies the world, makes America loved again.
Uh-oh, in the middle of campaign, 9-11 anniversary, a terrorist blow up our embassy in, well, they try to in Cairo, and they wreak the damage in the murder in Mayhem in Benghazi.
So this guy, the president of the United States, takes the easy way out and blames some irrelevant video on YouTube for this.
And then runs an ad in Pakistan apologizing for the video.
Still, that ads on the air.
After the age the embassy in Cairo apologized in advance of any violence, uh any violence.
It's all about Obama can't be made to look incompetent.
He can't be made to look like his the promise of Obama 2008 was false and phony.
But more than anything, it's what I have said.
We American conservatives pose a greater threat to Barack Obama than Al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, or any of the other terrorist organizations over there.
But I think if you just think about it in the context of he did everything and still is to exonerate the terrorists.
They sent Susan Rice out on television to say, oh, it's the video.
Everybody, Stephanie Cutter, oh, it's the video.
Or then it was Mitt Romney.
It was the video, and then Romney didn't know what he's doing.
He uh he uh shot before he aimed or aimed before he shot, whatever that phrase is.
Uh I think you stop and think about it in that context.
It is absolutely chilling.
That the president of the Here we have an act of terrorism, our ambassador's dead, three Marines are SEALs, and the president went out of his way and still is to exonerate those who are guilty.
And they've admitted it, by the way.
They've now admitted it had nothing to do with the videos a pre-planned attack, two or three days in the works, a hundred people, RPGs, mortars, you name it.
And still it's the video.
I I think it is just so telling.
It is so instructive of who this guy is.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
I asked Cookie the last moment.
I put her under the gun.
She came through like a champ.
I said, I just want the questions of Obama at Univision.
We all know the answers.
Uh well, you can't change Washington from the inside.
You can only do it from the outside.
Immigration.
Uh oh, yep.
Uh analyze all that in just a second.
I want you to hear the questions.
This is a montage of Univision questions.
They come from Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas.
And for the first time in four years, Obama got some legitimate questions.
He was actually questioned about his role as president.
He was questioned about his performance.
He was held accountable for the first time in four years by of all things Univision.
I don't mean to be putting them down, but we would assume that they're in his back pocket.
Haven't we told them we told the Hispanics love Obama, they're all in?
It's hopeless.
Ramley'd have a chance to get any Hispanic votes.
Don't even try.
Hispanics love Obama, and I'm sure he thought so going.
You would see him in this interview.
He's sitting there all cocky and arrogant and thinking that they're thinking he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
And he doesn't know what's hitting with these questions.
Here, just listen.
This is it's about a minute and a half.
Bam bam bam.
Montage.
One question after another.
Why wasn't your administration better prepared to with uh more security uh uh uh at our embassy since September 11?
Do you have information indicating that it was Iran or Al Qaeda was behind over organizing the protests?
At the beginning of your government, you had control of both chambers of Congress.
And yet you did not introduce uh immigration reform.
And uh before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you did not keep your promise.
I don't want to get lost in translation.
You promised that.
And a promise is a promise.
And with all due respect.
and keep that promise.
Mr. President, you have been the president who has made the largest number of deputations in modern history, more than 1.5 million so far.
You have separated many families.
Some of your critics to say that it was just only to win the Hispanic vote.
Why didn't you do that earlier during your presidency?
Mr. President, I'm a student at the journalist in school and you am.
This is my question to you.
What would you recommend to Latina women such I in order to be successful in my search for employment in the United States?
You have supported President Calderon policy against drug trafficking.
Do you think that after 65,000 deaths it's time to change the strategy?
Can you consider that 65,000 deaths a failure and the policy should change?
That's why we have to die for it.
Shouldn't we attorney jail Eric Holder?
He should have known about that.
And if he didn't should you fire him.
So do you have nothing to hide then?
Why are you not releasing papers?
Why don't we have uh very briefly independent investigation?
Uh that is not from the Justice Department.
What is your biggest failure?
Let me do you hear this?
You hear the now they're they're upset about two things.
The Univision people, they're upset that Obama has not done amnesty.
They want amnesty.
That's what it immigration is to the immigration reform.
They want amnesty.
And he didn't do it.
He promised he would do it, and for the first two years, the Republicans could not have stopped him.
And that's what they know.
The Republicans didn't have the votes to stop Obama on anything, but he pursued health care.
He said, Oh, well, go health care first, that's what the other thing that they're mad about Fast and Furious, because they know it was Hispanics who died.
Hispanics who died.
In Fast and Furious.
Three hundred at latest now, between two and three hundred.
You heard the question.
Shouldn't Eric Holder be fired?
List as media montages to somebody too.
The uh domestic media kind of shocked here at the questions Obama got.
The president fending off.
He did questions tonight.
He got some tough questions.
Tough questions at a town hall held by Univision.
President Obama faced some tough questions.
Some very tough questions.
Today he faced some really tough questions.
How about that?
Here's our own drive-by media, stunned.
They've forgotten what tough questions are.
They hear them being asked by Univision, and it's a story.
It's so rare for Obama to face tough questions that they do a story about it.
See, our media would never get mad at Obama over failing amnesty or uh fast and furious.
But the Univision crowd and the Hispanic, they're mad that he didn't fulfill that promise.
They bought it.
They believed it.
They thought it would be reality by now.
Hi, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Here it is, open line Friday.
You know, these questions were one thing.
But Obama lied all the way through them.
He lied and it in his answers, and believe me, they knew it.
Now, folks, I want to stress again.
We've been told, Romney's been told, don't worry about the Hispanic.
You can't get enough of it to matter.
The Hispanic population, all Democrat all the time, and they love Obama.
Really?
Is that what we saw yesterday at Univision?
They basically ask him why you failed.
Haven't you failed?
Why didn't you why do you get this?
No, why'd you lie to us?
And I'm happy out there.
And I'll tell you who else isn't happy.
You're not hearing anything about this.
Black preachers are fit to be tied over Obama and gay marriage.
And a bunch of black preaching, I don't know how many is in their churches are urging their flocks not to vote for Obama.
It's a big deal in the black community.
You're not hearing about that either.
All you're hearing about is his massive love and support for Obama.
It isn't there, folks.
I mean, not to the extent that it's being described.
So let's let's delve into this just a little bit here.
Uh this is a question uh about uh let's see, what's uh well Hey Ramos says, I I don't know if you've already read the book No Easy Day, a Navy SEAL tells the story how Obama bin Laden was killed.
According to many, his death was your biggest achievement.
What's your biggest failure?
Obviously, uh the fact that we haven't been able to change the tone in Washington is disappointing.
You know, we know now that as soon as I came into office, you already had meetings among some of our Republican colleagues uh saying, you know, how would we figure out how to beat the president?
And you know, I think that I've learned some lessons over the last four years, and the most important lesson I've learned is that uh you can't change Washington from the inside.
You can only change it from the outside.
You can't change Washington from the inside.
You can't, you all you can do is change it from the outside.
That is an admission of failure.
That right there.
And the media is trying to explain this away, the politico, all these other drive-bys are doing everything they can to try to to smooth this over.
But what does it mean?
He's just said that he's worthless.
He's just said he's unable.
He just because he's inside now.
He's disqualified.
He's learned you can't change Washington as president.
You know what?
You can't change Washington.
You can't change Washington from the outside.
You uh from the inside, you're gonna do from the outside.
What a what a crock.
Sununu was on TV last night.
What he said, this inside outside stuff is much crap.
You change Washington from the top.
And he's exactly right.
You change Washington from the top.
And the top is the president.
So Obama's new slogan, no, I couldn't.
You know, after the election 2008, yes, we can.
Yes, we can.
Obama, sorry, sorry.
Nope.
I couldn't.
I couldn't do you you can't do it.
This and this is a superior intellect.
This This is what everybody goes, oh man, nobody's smarter than this guy ever.
Let's go back.
June 3rd, 2008.
St. Paul, Minnesota.
I guess something else you can't do from inside inside Washington.
This was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick.
And good jobs to the jobless.
This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
This was the moment when we ended the war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last best hope on earth.
This was the moment.
This was the time when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals.
Thump.
Lowering the sea levels, ending the war.
I guess.
You can't do any of that from inside Washington either.
Here's how Mitt Romney, by the way, Romney's here in Florida.
He was a couple fundraisers last night.
One of them was a hundred grand a couple.
And it was up near Seminole Golf Club, which is near Juno Beach.
He had two last night.
One was 50 grand a couple, the other 100 grand a couple.
And the crowds, I don't know if you've seen it.
The crowds that Romney is drawing in this state are huge.
They are huge crowds, and it's not being reported.
You aren't seeing the people attending know it, but you're not seeing it.
I happen to know notice it in a still shot on the website last night.
It wasn't commented on in the caption of the picture or in the story about Romney and his fundraising.
It was just there.
I mean, it was patently obvious to see that it was, I think it was just Sarasota.
But wherever it was, it was massive.
A massive crowd.
Don't forget, last night I'm watching the Giants and the Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
And that's where Obama was supposed to fill up that stadium for his acceptance speech.
And I looked at the blimp shot, the stadium before the game.
And the place was full.
Well, the Panthers can sell it out.
They told us, yeah, the community's too small.
There really not enough hotels and stuff.
We didn't have room for everybody in that 65,000 seat place, so we had to shut it down and move it inside.
I looked at that, and it became clear to me how over this whole thing with Obama is.
Because in 2008, they did fill stadiums like that.
And there it was filled last night for football game, the very place that Obama was going to accept the nomination this time around, and to realize they couldn't even find 20,000 people to put in there.
In fact, where Obama did give his acceptance, what's the capacity's 20,000, at 15,000, them were media.
The rest are family and delegates, 5,000 or so.
So I just, it just struck me.
Filling that state, that would have been a big deal.
For any single individual to make a speech to fill a stadium, that would have been a big deal.
And he didn't do it.
Not like he did in 08.
And nobody's talking about it, but they had to move something similar in Vegas two weeks ago or last week from outside to inside, and they used weather as an excuse again, and there wasn't any weather on that day.
Here's what Romney said, inside outside.
We face a Washington that's broken that can't get the job done.
The president today threw in the white flag of surrender again.
He said he can't change Washington from inside.
He can only change it from outside.
Well, we're gonna give him that chance in November.
He's going outside.
Well, I hear an animated Romney there.
I hear it jazzed and fired up Romney.
That was in fact in Sarasota, Florida.
Okay, let's uh just do a couple hits from the Univision interview.
It was down at Coral Gables where the University of Miami is.
And to meet the candidate for him.
Romney was there earlier, by the way.
Romney went to this thing earlier this week or last week, I forget which.
And it was um didn't get a whole lot of coverage, but it was respectful.
He answered the question seriously.
I don't think there's any contest, folks.
Um really, in terms of real people, just because it doesn't get reported doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Okay, so the question, Mr. President, Presidente.
I want to ask you something.
It's known as the Obama promise, May 28, 2008.
We had a conversation in Denver.
You told me the following, and I'm going to quote you, but I can guarantee that we will have in the first year an immigration bill that I strongly support.
I want to emphasize the first year at the beginning of your governing, you had control of both chambers of Congress, and yet you did not introduce immigration reform.
You did not introduce amnesia, is what the guy's asking.
And before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you didn't keep your promise.
This is Jorge Ramos.
To the president of the United States, drive by's watching this, can't believe it.
And wondering if Ramos is going to get out of there alive.
And here was the one's answer.
When we talked about immigration reform in the first year, that's before the economy was on the verge of collapse.
Lehman Brothers had collapsed.
The stock market was collapsing.
And so my first priority was making sure that we prevented us from going into a Great Depression.
So that took up a huge amount of time in the first year.
What I confess I did not expect.
And so I'm I'm happy to uh take responsibility for being naive here, is that Republicans who had previously supported comprehensive immigration reform.
My opponent in 2008, who had been a champion of it, and who attended these meetings, suddenly would walk away.
That's what I did not anticipate.
But El Presidente, it didn't matter because they didn't have the votes to stop you.
Presidented, what does it matter where Senor McCain went?
Or in these other mythical Republicans.
You had the votes.
You could have had anything you wanted.
That was the question.
He lied right to their faces.
You think they bought that?
After the question mentions you've got all the votes, the Republicans stop couldn't stop you.
You had both houses at Congress, and Obama's answer, I didn't realize uh the Republicans gonna change their mind.
Where's his bill?
Where's it?
That's what the question was.
Where's your bill?
He didn't even put forth the bill.
Well, I didn't realize the economy that bad.
Stay off Great Depression.
Well, how'd that work out?
Yeah, and I had the stimulus and I had a shovel ready to judge.
How'd that all work out?
Folks, this is incompetence on parade.
See, if this I got to thinking last night, how and I've said this before, and I'm not crying over spilt milk.
I'm not even crying, just observing how different this would all be if the media were even 35% fair.
A lot of people, in a constitutional sense, look at the media as the referees.
And I don't know that they've ever been the referees.
Uh, but I'll tell you one, I'll tell you how most people feel.
I think most people think you bring it down to the essence of what's going on.
We're being cheated.
It's just that simple.
This isn't a level playing field.
The arena of ideas has been stacked.
The media is cheating.
And this interview at Univision demonstrated just how much they are cheating.
And just how corrupt they have become.
And it was so profound that the media was doing stories on the hard-hitting questions Obama got.
Can you believe that?
He must think.
I'm gonna tell Obama must think the Hispanic press is as stupid and biased as the English language press is.
They know he didn't put up a bill.
They know he didn't lift a little finger on immigration.
They know that all he did was talk about it.
They know that he could have had anything he wanted.
The Republicans couldn't stop him.
It was even mentioned in the question.
A promise is a promise.
And with all due respect, but you didn't keep that promise.
Well, here's what I would say, Jorge, is that uh, and we've had this conversation before.
Uh, there's the thinking that the president uh is somebody who is all powerful and can get everything done.
In our branch of uh in our system of government, I am the head of the executive branch.
I'm not the head of the legislature.
I'm not the head of the judiciary.
Stopped it.
You have this pandering.
Okay, let me tell you stupid Hispanics how it works.
You've got the whole wrong idea.
I'm president, but I can't do it all by myself.
I don't know what you're thinking of it.
There's the executive branch in our sense of uh government, and I'm not the head of the legislature.
You were you had it in your back pocket here.
Finish the bite.
Have to have cooperation from all these sources in order to get something done.
And so I am happy to take responsibility for the fact that we didn't get it done, but I did not make a promise that I would get everything done a hundred percent when I was elected as president.
He made a promise.
He didn't put forth a bill.
He had the Congress totally behind him.
The Republicans didn't matter.
He may as well have been running the legislature.
For crying out loud, folks, he bypasses Congress to give temporary amnesty to children of illegal aliens who are born here.
He bypasses Congress in stripping the work requirements out of welfare.
He bypasses Congress any damn well time he pleases.
I have to take a time out.
I know it's unfortunate.
I know you want me to keep going, but I have to stop.
I gotta breathe.
And we're back.
It's Open Line Friday, El Rushbow and the EIB network and a Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Okay.
One more question here when we get to your phone calls.
This is from a student.
Ariana Al Corta.
I'm a student at the J School here at the University of Miami.
This is my question to you.
What would you recommend to Latina women such as me in order to be successful in my search for employment in the United States?
In other words, how do I get a job in your rot gut economy?
Look, the economy uh has been very tough uh for the last four years.
And so there are a lot of young people out there uh who graduated, have a great education, but have still had trouble uh getting work.
The most important thing you can do, the best investment you can make to make sure you have a good job, uh, is to get a a college education.
So what you're doing now cuts in half the likelihood that you end up unemployed.
Not guaranteed.
This cuts in half.
So you uh you only have fifty percent of it, and that's if you stay in in college.
You could.
I mean, there's there's another way of doing this.
Which is what many Obama voters are doing.
Deal with this situation.
The way Obama voters deal with unemployment and uh uh non-Obama voters deal with it's it's a very different thing.
For example, what's her name um uh Ariana Al Corte, Ariana, you could uh you get a husband to make him work.
Um you could live with your parents.
Stay on their health care plan.
Um you could blame George Bush.
Instead asking Obama what's wrong, blame Bush.
If you stood up there and say, Mr. Obama, I can't find a job.
I'm a journalism school, University of Miami, I can't find a job.
What did George Bush do?
See, that should have been the question.
But didn't it?
Hard-hitting stuff out there.
Okay, Windermere, Florida.
Julie, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, who are you?
Hi.
I'm very well, thank you.
I would like to talk about that YouTube video rush, and I think that Barack keeps talking about it because he wants to use it as a reason to censor the internet.
It's the only media that he doesn't control.
Not for long.
There no that there's legislation that's pending, and it may have already been signed, or is he gonna have the master on off switch.
Exactly.
The president not just him, I mean it's happening during his regime.
Now that you're onto something here, the president of the United States will be able to essentially flip the switch and turn off the internet during times of a national crisis or emergency as defined by the president.
I don't know what limits there are on it.
But it's uh it's it's cybersecurity, and the president's gonna that legislation's working its way.
I'm the bone up on it.
But I know that it it's it's a uh big possibility.
So he won't have to control it if he can turn it off.
But that doesn't mean that he still wouldn't like to.
I mean, that's the way people like this are.
Control the flow of information, keep people malinformed, ill-informed, uninformed, what have you.
Hitting dumb.
That's uh how you stay in power.
Fastest three hours of media, open line Friday, and one of them's already down.
But folks, I really I know this has been powerful and jam-packed, and highly persuasive.
But we haven't even scratched the surface yet.
