Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
Honored to be here.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
You're never gonna see me at uh some Rose Garden celebration.
R uh Rush is away for uh a couple of days.
He's actually having a a fully fledged proper vacation.
So he's he's he's supp he's supposed to be enjoying himself.
Uh it's not he's not having some uh cochlear ribod or anything like that.
He's not doing a chair.
It's supposed to be just pure vacation.
And uh Eric Erickson's gonna be here tomorrow, and then Mark Belling comes in and uh uh Rush returns Monday to address all the news that has taken place, because they they keep the news now for the days when Rush is away, because they think if they let things happen during those few days, it'll be less of a headache for the administration.
That's how good their news management is.
It's way more advanced than Karl Rove's uh hurricane machine that only targets the black voters.
It's like this is so sophisticated now that uh this that they've got this news management, they hold the news until Russia's gone away on vacation, but he will be back Monday.
And if you're already finding that the uh what are we today, Tuesday, and you're thinking, oh well Tuesday, how many more guest hosts to go?
You can go to Rush Limbo.com.
And it is as if Rush has never gone away.
You can join Rush 247 and you get Rush in all known fields of distribution.
You get him in audio, you get him in video on the Ditto Cam, uh, you get him in transcripts, you get the whole thing on your time.
So when you join Rush 247, it means what it says.
If you're some creepy fellow who sleeps all day and you're only awake for three hours in the middle of the night, that's when you can listen to Rush, if that's what suits you.
All you need to do is go to Rush twenty-four-seven, uh Rushlinbaugh.com and become a subscriber to Rush Twenty-four-seven.
And uh make sure you listen to uh to Eric Ericsson when Eric's in tomorrow.
Uh we've been we've been talking about the contrast between guys the uh the president wants to hold a rose garden ceremony with, the guys he goes the extra mile for, uh the extra several thousand miles for, uh, like this uh like this fella he's just uh sprung from Afghanistan, and then others that he's not so interested in, like uh Sergeant Tamaressi, who's in this uh is just, you know, a couple of hundred yards south of the border in a Tijuana jail, uh, and ought to be out immediately.
Uh the my only concern is what he'd offer for it, because if he was prepared to give uh five uh battle-trained hardened senior Al Qaeda operatives for one deserter, uh then for a fellow who actually has uh served with distinction like Sergeant Tamaressi, he he'll probably wind up giving uh the Mexican government the entire state of California, but uh we'll we'll see.
That that guy should be out of jail.
Marion he might or he might agree to accept uh some more some more immigrants.
Uh that's true.
Another I think another fifty maybe if we agree to take another twenty million Mexicans, then Sergeant Tabaresi will get back.
Uh lovell uh uh every time I'm on uh th the Rush Limbaugh show, people go, Oh, I'm really looking forward to Uyghur Wednesday, which arose for a few weeks.
Uh uh uh it it it's been quiet on the the Uyghur front, and I haven't I don't think I've been here many Wednesdays uh for whatever reason.
But the Uyghurs is where this thing started.
Four guys at Gitmo, four Uyghurs that Obama decided to spring.
And they're actually Chi Uyghurs are Chinese Muslims.
And the Chinese didn't want them, because they're causing a whole heap of trouble.
They're blowing stuff up all the time in China.
In the Chinese hinterland, these guys are causing big troubles.
And he couldn't find anyone to take them.
Uh so he went and did a deal with uh the Premier of Bermuda, who's a fellow called Ewart Brown.
And the only problem of that is that Bermuda is not a sovereign state.
It's a colony.
And uh the whole point the whole point about uh uh about uh colonies is that they don't have privileged state-to-state relations.
To put it in American terms, like if if you can't see what's wrong with Obama giving four Uyghur terrorists to Bermuda, it's the equivalent of David Cameron dumping a bunch of IRA terrorists on Guam or the US Virgin Islands, and they're or Puerto Rico, and then telling and then Obama finds out about it afterwards.
So he put these four Uyghurs, he dumped these four Uyghurs on Bermuda.
The British were furious in London, because they're not meant they're not meant to be doing that.
And one result of that is that uh I mentioned I saw them crossing the street in St. George's Bermuda a couple of years ago.
One result of that is that they are the unhappiest, loneliest Uyghurs.
There's no other Uyghurs in Bermuda.
It's like a Uyghur free zone until these guys showed up.
And Obama has made them the unhappiest Uyghurs in Bermuda.
They thought they'd be in Bermuda, like sitting on the beach, enjoying cocktails at uh uh the uh Hamilton Princess, uh the Southampton Princess Hotel sitting on the beach, enjoying cocktails, and then they would go back to Uyghur land and be hanging out with other Uyghurs.
Uh and they can't, and the reason they can't is because Obama made the British mad.
The Bermudans are British subjects.
They travel on British passports.
So when these Uyghurs applied to get passports, uh basically uh Bermuda has to clear it with head office back in London, and London says, You mean the guys you s you you and Obama did this deal with to screw us over?
Nuts to that.
These fellas aren't getting British passports, they're not British, they're not becoming British, you can forget about that.
So these four unhappy Uyghurs are the unhappiest Uyghurs in town because oh of what Obama did.
And if you recall when I was here a couple of days ago, I said the thing that most annoyed me about his West Point speech was the most fatuous definition of American exceptionalism yet.
Um you if you remember when he was first asked about it, he said, Oh, sure, I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I'm sure the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism and and the and the Slovenes believe in Slovenian exceptionalism, and the South Sandwich Islands believe in South Sandwich Islander exceptionalism.
You know, it's the classic America as participation award, you know, everyone is exceptional.
Everyone is exceptional.
And uh he gave an even more stupid answer now, because uh at West Point he said uh what makes us exceptional is that we live up to international norms.
And I pointed out that if it's a norm, it can't be exceptional.
The point about a norm is that it's normal.
Everyone does it.
Uh so he defined American exceptionalism as living up to international norms.
And the funny thing is, he he doesn't.
You know, Bush was supposed to be the cowboy, but Bush wouldn't dump wouldn't dump terrorists on a colony of our allies.
He wouldn't even he didn't get on particularly with Jacques Chirac.
But he would never have dumped a whole bunch of Gitmo terrorists on uh Saint Pierre and Miquelon or some other French colony.
Uh Bush respected international norms.
Uh Carney, Carney stands up and says, they say, Well, wait a minute, on what basis are you releasing all these guys?
He goes, Well, the president has the power.
The president has the power to deal with foreign governments.
Okay, what country does the Taliban govern?
They're not governing any country.
They're not the government of any country.
They used to be, and then the United States military overthrew them, and now they're just a terrorist organization.
Uh so they don't represent any sovereign state.
And in fact, in terms of international norms, the International Criminal Court uh wants to try these guys for war crimes.
But but Obama says, Oh, says, nah, who cares about that?
Screw 'em!
If he get back and they kill thousand poor Muslims, well, again, not my problem, not my problem.
Uh and and again, it's this business of, you know, even the most you would think that was just PAP for most people.
Oh, we respect international norms.
Who doesn't say it?
You know, the Prime Minister of Finland says it.
The uh the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea says it.
Uh well, no, Robert Bugabe, most people who say it actually do mean it.
H.R. points out that Robert Mugabe says it.
Actually, Robert Bugabe doesn't accept international norms.
And in fact, the only line Rob Robert Bugabe's ever said I liked when he was when he accused uh Tony Blair of leading the gay government.
He accused Tony Blair of being a gay gangster leading the gay government of the gay united gay kingdom.
And I thought, well, say what you like about Robert Mugabe, but there's a guy who knows a sound bite when he delivers one.
Uh but but that ought to be, you know, that he most people when they just say, Oh, we accept international law.
If if if the foreign minister of uh of Belgium says it, you think, ah, yeah, well, you wouldn't even notice it.
Obama can't even say that without it actually being a lie.
He doesn't accept international.
He accepts international norms in the same sense he accepts the US Constitution.
You know, it's pick and choose.
It's a pick and choose buffet.
There'll be this little international norm he likes, this little bit of the United States Constitution he likes, but this bit over here he doesn't need.
He doesn't want it on that plate.
It's a salad.
You know, you just pick it's it's like standing uh at the buffet at Denny's, and you just like pick the little menu items out you want to put on there, and that's it.
That's all you need for international uh international law Obama star.
Uh I also was uh talking earlier about this uh these new environmental regulations.
Uh because we don't want, we really don't want any of these fossil fuel emissions.
What emissions do we like?
I've talked before uh on this show about the bovine flatulent.
In fact, I think Buck Buck was talking about bovine flatulence uh yesterday.
He touched on it lightly.
There was just the frisson of uh bovine.
He didn't go in depth into bovine flatulence, but there was the frisson of bovine.
If you twitch your nostrils, there were you might have detected the frisson of bovine flatulence in the air during Buck's show yesterday.
Scientists at Michigan State University have developed a system that turns cow manure.
And you know this this bovine flatulence is killing the planet.
It's way worse than your SUV or uh or any of your other uh big uh uh big carbon footprint stuff.
It's way it's cows are a bigger threat.
Holsteins are a bigger threat to the planet even than Al Gore's house.
Uh the the uh the bovine flatulence, so so what are we gonna do about it?
Uh the McLanahan nutrient separation system has been developed by Michigan State University to turn cow manure into clean drinking water.
Uh the McLanahan uh I think that McLean it wasn't she in the Golden Girls.
Uh the McLanahan and the Well, I wondered what she'd been doing.
Uh the McLanahan Nutrient Separation System uses an adaerobic digestion digester coupled with an ultrafiltration air stripping reverse uh osmosis system uh to turn the cowmanure into drinking water.
So when the Obama doctrine says we don't do stupid fecal matter, that's that's how ahead of the game they are.
They do smart fecal matter.
This new this is what your you laugh now, but a couple of EPA regulations down the road, you are going to be showering in bovine manure and loving it.
You're gonna be saying, Mmm, the minty fresh water, where does it come from?
Uh well, you see that uh Holstein over in the Farkow corner of the field?
It comes from him.
That's how great it is.
So that that's a uh yeah, that's right.
You you want you what you put it in your cup of coffee in the morning.
You might want to make through sure you it's been through the McLanahan nutrient separation system uh before you before you put it in your your uh grinder, though, because otherwise it uh it can it can clog it up.
But you get it makes a terrific cup of coffee.
Mmm, the best part of waking up is bovine manure in your cup.
Mm-mm.
I love it.
Uh you'll be going into Starbucks and asking for your bovine macchiato.
It's tr it's uh it's fantastic.
So that's the next stage.
Uh so the seventy percent of Americans who are on board with this with this EPA regulation, two EPA regulations down the road.
Obama is literally, he's not gonna be forcing you to eat uh fecal matter.
That's the next stage.
But right now he's just gonna force you to drink fecal matter thanks to the McLaren nutrient separation system.
Coming soon to a showerhead near you.
Mark signing for rush.
We'll take your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein in for Rush on America's number one radio show.
Great to be with you.
Let us go to John in Orlando, Florida.
John, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Good afternoon, Mark.
You're doing an outstanding job.
Thank you for talking about climate and uh polar bears and uh citing the deceptive hockey stick chart.
Well, thank you for mentioning that.
I'm actually going to be going to court as soon as the sclerotic District of Columbia justice system rouses itself.
And the guy who created that hockey stick is taking me to court over it.
And I'm hoping to be shoving it where the global warming don't shine.
And that will be coming to a D.C. superior court near you.
You should book a vacation, John, in your fine capital city.
And take the trade up from Orlando, because that'll be a hot trial to see.
I bet it would.
Well, thanks again, sir.
I just wanted to add to the propaganda war on climate change some basic facts that our group, which publishes the only authoritative independent global climate report every quarter, is aware of basically the issue of whether we even have global warming versus what's really happening, which is a new cold era that has begun.
And when would you say this new cold, because you're right that there's been no global warming since whatever it is, 1997 now.
When would you say that the cooling period began then?
Well, most people are not aware because of the mainstream media and what the president's saying.
But fundamentally, we track all the global temperature indicators.
Global oceans have been cooling for 11 years now, since 2003.
the atmosphere for most of that time all of which was predicted back in oh seven uh by me and other scientists who follow solar cycles as the primary determinants of climate change.
Right, right.
So you're saying in effect that uh the EPA administrator can stand up there and and kill the US say what the U.S. economy needs is another stake driven through its heart but that it actually doesn't make any difference because uh climate variability isn't dependent uh whatever the narcissism of the progressive liberal uh climate uh climate uh variability isn't dependent on whether you drive an SUV or a hybrid.
It makes no difference whatsoever that this is this is bigger than that.
Much, much larger the sun is clearly the primary driver of climate change and it uh changes climate on a very predictable basis for those of us who study uh solar activity and solar cycles we know that right now we're in the midst of a very rapid changeover uh from the past global warming to a new period of global cooling based on a 206 year cycle of the sun.
So your you're saying because I do think the I do think the propagandists if if we enter the third decade without global warming, I do think the propagandists have a problem because at that point right now they're saying that it's hiding in the oceans that it's like uh it's like Godzilla it's just gone down to the depths and it's lurking it's lurking there and suddenly it'll spring out of the oceans.
All this that the heat is somehow uh hiding in the depths of the Pacific where that Malaysian plain is basically in the depths of the Pacific and Indian oceans.
And and that's just a guess John.
They don't know that do they do not know and they they are unable to explain how heat from the atmosphere uh goes to the deeper ocean layers which are progressively colder and somehow all this heat stays at the lowest coldest levels and then reappears.
It is another myth it is another ploy to keep the myth of man-made global warming alive as long as they can so that they can uh use legislative impact, use these recent EPA guidelines to place more and more controls over our industry and take away uh basic uh rights of the people unfortunately that has been the motive all along has nothing to do with the science.
Yeah it's uh basically that thing at Copenhagen five years ago was about uh basically a sort of protein plan for world government.
I mean what's interesting about this John, and you'd know about this because it's a science question, it's only really in the last uh I think six or seven years that they've even been able to have kind of real coverage what the temperature is like below a depth of seven hundred meters.
So they don't th this idea that somehow they can confidently announce uh that it's all happening underwater is uh is crazy, isn't it?
It certainly is.
And if you look at the fundamentals of ocean temperature, the Pacific Ocean is now in its thirty plus year of cooling.
Uh that's why we're seeing ocean uh sea levels dropping out there.
Uh the Atlantic Ocean has now reached its peak and is that.
That's that's yeah, so we're in a cooling cycle on the ocean, so that's uh that's a great point, John.
Thank you for your call.
That's uh a guy who knows his science uh telling us uh that in fact we are in a cooling cycle, not a global warming cycle.
Lots more still to come.
Hey, great to be with you.
Uh the White House uh has tweeted, has tweeted that uh that President Obama's new clean power plant standards uh will lead to fewer school absences.
There will be an uh an estimated one hundred and eighty thousand fewer school absences per year.
So that that works out to an extra one hundred and eighty thousand days each year that lucky American children will be able to not miss out on uh the indoctrination and social engineering.
And that's uh that's terrific news from these clean power plant standards uh that the president has uh has regulated into being.
Uh and uh and uh this and he also says three hundred and ten thousand fewer lost work days per year.
He's got a picture here of a sad looking mummy and junior looking out at this great belching power plant.
I would love to know, by the way, which part of America that this is, because uh everywhere in this quarter of the world, all the mills and plants uh have uh uh have closed and they're now just uh being converted into restaurants, coffee shops, holistic massage places, uh personal training gyms.
Everything's called every new business in my part of the world is called like if you say, uh hey, have you heard about the new restaurant?
No, what restaurant is that?
Oh, the restaurant at the old mill.
Really?
Where is it?
Well, it's at the old mill.
Uh oh, and have you uh have you gone to um the uh uh uh to the new therapeutic massage place?
Oh no, what therapeutic massage place is that?
Oh, it's uh old mill therapeutic massage.
Hey, have you been to the Great New Cafe?
What is it?
It's oh it's like beans at old mill.
That's every where is the where is where are the mills and power plants belching out like this uh this woman of this kid uh look at it.
Anyway, so that's what they're saying.
They're saying that's gonna be a hundred and eighty thousand, fewer school absences per year uh because of Obama's clean power plant standards.
And uh it's a myth.
It's this is we are we are attempting to tackle, we are attempting to tackle.
It was summed up in a fabulous headline in The Guardian yesterday.
New EPA rules spur prospects for deal to end climate change.
An actual uh an actual uh editor with a college degree uh who speaks English as a first language actually wrote that headline.
Deal to end climate change.
It's that easy.
It's like negotiating with the Taliban.
Uh it's like although if Obama was to negotiate with the climate the way he negotiated with the Taliban, basically the lower 48 would be underwater by now.
Uh new EPA rules spur prospects for deal to end climate change.
This is Obama.
You can't enforce the border.
Uh that can't be done.
We can't stop tens of millions of people walking into this country and demanding social security numbers and driver's licenses and eventually citizenship.
We can't do that.
Uh we can't get one marine back out of a a uh out of a uh Tijuana jail.
We can't get one wife of an American back out of an omdoman jail cell.
We can't get this uh Pakistani doctor out of the Islamabad jail cell.
Uh we can't do any we can't do any it'd be absurd.
It'd be absurd to think the president could do anything about this.
It would be absurd to think the president could enforce our borders.
It would be absurd to think the president could do anything about the tripling uh the the crippling levels of American debt.
It would be absurd uh to think the president could do Anything about this flatlined economy that is just contracted by one percent.
But changing the very heavens that he can do simply with a stroke of his executive order pen.
He can uh he can uh come up with a quote deal to end climate change, unquote.
Uh this is how these I don't even know how these guys can I don't even know how if even if you support the president, even if you're a liberal, you can believe in this kind of stuff.
Let us go to Ilona in Merrimack, New Hampshire, uh a little ways uh south uh East of me.
Great to have you with us, Silana.
Thanks, Mark.
First of all, I just want to say I think you're hysterically funny, and I love listening to you and reading your articles and books.
Well, thanks, thanks for that, Ilona.
I I don't get that from all my Grad Estate neighbors, sad to say.
So I'll take it from you.
Um second of all, for over three decades I've been a full time college professor at a small private college in southern New Hampshire, and I have seen first hand from my students how they've been indoctrinated and propagandized from preschool through college.
I affectionately call them my darling little relativist, materialist Marxist socialist believers in climate change.
And um it's true, that's what that's what I call them.
Some of them laugh and some of them resent me, of course, because I try to present a different view of everything they've had shoved into their heads for the past fifteen years.
But I actually had in one seminar a student say in class that well, what Hitler did in Germany may not seem right to us, but if it was good for Germany at the time, who are we to say?
Right.
I mean, that's pushing relativism to its far farthest reaches, but they don't see a problem with that.
No, and you know, that's not that's not just a hypothetical.
That's not some clever fellow sort of thinking he'll he'll he'll get into the debating society if he makes some clever point.
That's actually how that's actually how large numbers of Americans think about uh the the wars we've been in uh since the beginning of this this century.
Who are we okay?
Uh so they perform female genital mutilation and they behead homosexuals.
Who are we to who are we to judge?
Would you really exactly and would you really I mean we we're about to mark the seventieth anniversary of D-Day.
I mean it's my father landed on Omaha Beach in the second wave.
He was a sergeant in the army, so I have a special love for this anniversary coming up.
Well you what what I'd be interested to know from your grandfather is whether uh he thinks that f from your father is whether he thinks that these guys uh uh today's generation uh would be would actually be be capable of doing that.
Because that's the great question.
That's the great imponderable uh whether I mean I I I noticed last week it was the anniversary of the Battle of Monte Cassino uh and I was reading a report from New Zealand, and a ninety-two-year-old New Zealander is over in Italy, uh and i Charlie Kenney, ninety-two with the twenty-third battalion, and he said, uh our tank crews got cooked up, and I still can't stand the smell of roast pork.
He's there.
Nobody even remembers.
Most of uh the people you teach wouldn't even know what the Battle of Monte Cassino was, doesn't remember it, doesn't remember, but he lives with it every day, those tank crews being burned up and he can't face the smell of roast pork because it takes him right back.
And can you can you imagine, can you imagine this generation being being able with this relativism being able to storm those beaches at Normandy, knowing that they were uh what they were doing was in a righteous cause and being willing to fight for victory alone.
Teach a self-designed course this semester.
I had two sections of it called Honor and Valor, the ideal warrior and literature and on film.
I had thirty-five students who I would say the majority of them were actual conservatives, and what they didn't know about this, they were pleased to learn about it.
They had never heard of Sergeant York, they had never heard of Audie Murphy.
And I filled the course with honor and valor and how wonderful it is to serve in the military.
I did have an ex-Marine in the class.
He was twenty-four, he was older than the other students.
I have another student who's entering the Marines.
So it really warmed my heart to see that there are still some young people for whom this does mean something.
Well that's that's good to know, Ilona.
And I I hope there's uh I hope there's enough of them.
Uh and I and uh and I hope that that we still have them in ten, twenty years' time.
Thank thank thank you for your call.
I I I complained about the the quality of what I was hearing at the uh at uh the graduation exercises over the last few days.
I went to a baccalaureate uh service on Sunday.
This is the sort of thing.
The reason it was on a Sunday is that because a few years ago it would have been uh broadly speaking a conventionally Christian uh service the baccalaureate service.
Uh now it's not because of the separation of church and state and all the rest of it.
And it would have been a Christian service by the way, not because anyone's inter particularly interested in being an observing Christian, but because those hymns and that scripture are where our civilization comes from.
That's a kind of slightly tangential thing to to being an observant Christian.
It's beyond that.
But it's not a Christian service now.
It has the outward form of a Christian service but they say that we're you know we're now celebrating diversity and we're celebrating all faith traditions and all the rest of it.
And they had invited instead seven people representative of different faith traditions to come up and uh and talk.
And the first one, the first so the first senior to come up and do a reading.
And he announced he was going to do a reading from Nietzsche and immediately he said that I knew what he was going to do.
And he did uh reading from Alzheimer Sprague Zarathustra with the words with the with the famous uh God is dead bit in it.
And it's almost like a parody of relativism.
Uh that the we have we have created this world in which we think it is entir i it and so then we got into afterwards came the Buddhist and the all the rest of it.
But the the guy started out it's something that only exists this service because it has the form of a Christian a Christian uh celebration.
But but all that has been stripped out and what is in has been put in place instead he's reading about Nietzsche and God is dead.
And there is a continuum between him and that point.
It's just a phase he's going through.
What does he care?
12th grade.
He's not really thinking of anything.
In a couple of years'time, he'll be worried about the polar bears.
He'll be advising us to drink more bovine manure in our water.
He'll find some other cause.
But for the moment, this is where he is.
And that continuum, that emptiness, that tinny hollowness you hear at this nonjudgmental relativist culture is the vacuum in which people like John Walker-Lynd
the fella just sprung from that Afghan prison incubate because in a vacuum a vacuum is going to be filled up and if you're lucky it'll be filled up by climate change or transgendered bathrooms or something else but if you're unlucky it's going to be filled up uh by fellows like John Walker Lind essentially going over to the enemy.
Mark sign in for us more ahead.
James is in Seoul South Korea.
James great to have you with us on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Yes sir I you know and I I think you probably I know you hear this uh so many times but I it's an honor for me to even say this.
Uh it is an honor to to talk to you, Mr. Stein.
Thank you very much.
Oh no no no don't you sound like Obama uh bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia.
We're all fine upstanding free-born individuals here.
There's no need to prostrate yourself, James.
Roger that.
Yes, sir.
I wanted to call, and I really appreciate the time, allowing me to come on and talk.
I've been listening, and especially as we talk about President Obama's foreign policy and national security policy, and kind of where it's just words and no actions there.
I think a lot of times in the United States, we see that on the news, and we kind of see it domestically, but don't really realize that there is a major and dangerous ripple effect that comes throughout the world, not just to our country, our enemies but to our allies.
You know I have the I have the opportunity of stationed here in Seoul for uh with the US military and on a daily basis I work with not only our our South Korean allies but also um allies from seventeen different countries uh with the United Nations command.
And I can tell you straight up that uh they are scared.
Uh they have genuine fear um you know in their hearts and minds here on the fact that you know American credibility has just sunk.
Um dramas you know, drastically.
Right.
Uh you know, we we have uh we've promised pretty much the Far East, you know, me you know, specifically Japan and South Korea, protection under our nuclear umbrella.
Um but you know, when you know we get we can promise that protection, but when you know our words don't really mean anything, um and and at the same time we're seeing China and North Korea, you know, really taking advantage of what's what's going on uh with Obama's policy.
I um I you know I don't blame them for being you know very, very scared.
No, you're absolutely right there, James.
What and and again that gets the the point I was making just in a schoolroom sense, the vacuum of American power.
A vacuum is always filled up.
And in uh your part of the world, that vacuum is being filled up by the expansion of China.
Since the end of the Second World War, the Pacific has has been supposedly an American lake.
The Chinese don't see it that way, North Korea doesn't see it that way, and they are taking practical steps to ensure that it will not be that way.
They get they get the message, James.
Absolutely.
We're seeing it with you know with China's um you know very uh you know, f for I guess for lean moves throughout the South China Sea and uh, you know, and and what they're doing with um with even islands that are you know uh contested between Japan and South Korea.
Yeah.
That's right, that's right.
Those d those disputed uh those disputed islands.
I mean that's that's the thing.
Other these these people, whatever you feel about the Chinese Politburo, whatever you feel about Vladimir Putin, whatever you feel about the Mullahs, these guys are calculating their national interest.
They're not leaving foreign policy and uh global strategy to twelve-year-old pajama boys who think that sophomoric's slogans about don't do stupid fecal matter is the most sophisticated foreign policy that's ever been devised.
Thank you for your call, uh James.
We gotta run.
We'll close things out in just a moment.
Mark Stein in Farush on America's number one uh radio show.
