Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Hiya, folks.
How are you?
Great.
Hey!
The levels are perfect right out of the back.
Why, this has this is a great omen.
This portends great things here.
The audio levels do not need any adjustment whatsoever.
It is our swan song program from Los Angeles today, folks.
Live from the left post at our satellite studios in Los Angeles.
It's open line Friday.
Why don't you guys put a Sharpie and draw some arrows there on the um where the potentiometers meet the dials?
Anyway, folks, great to have you with us.
It is Open Line Friday.
We're in Los Angeles, the final busy broadcast of a busy broadcast week.
We'll be back at our normal Southern Command headquarters on Monday.
Telephone number 800 28288 to the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
Now last Friday, I just want to remind you if you were if you were here and were listening, actually if you weren't too.
Last Friday had one of the best open line Fridays in a while.
There were, I bet you out of all the calls we took, only two of them had to do with issues.
And the rest of the stuff.
Well, I just tell you, I I I mentioned this once earlier this week.
I had I had people, and it kind of surprised me.
I thought I was okay.
I didn't think it was anything stellar last Friday.
I analyze every program every day.
And I go home, Catherine says, how was a show today?
And I'll say, eh, it's okay.
It was really good.
I mean, this was kick ass today.
Or it was a barn when it was good.
It was it changes day to day, my self-assessment.
Last Friday, how was showed it eh, I had more people telling me how great they thought it was.
So I just okay, what was different about it?
And they said it was personal.
It was so personable.
It was really you talked about your cat and all this other stuff.
And you know, sometimes people don't want to hear all that to stick to the issues crowd.
You know, I got to hear is the word golf, and they turn into maniacs like you find on left-wing blogs.
And uh so anyway, uh just it it's that's what open line Friday is for.
Does not have to be uh things I care about issues, particularly if you want anything else, feel free.
Again, telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
This Ebola thing.
Folks, I uh what let me ask you what has been worse?
Honestly now, what has been worse?
The Bush administration response to Katrina or the Obama administration response to Ebola, especially given how relatively limited the Ebola problem is.
It it is literally an African problem, or it was.
You see, right there, I just know the politically correct and the when you say that, that lights a fire.
Oh, we should leave it in Africa because somehow they deserve it, Mr. Limbaugh.
Is that what you no?
No, you see how difficult this has become because of political correctness.
The point is, it started in Africa.
That's where its roots are.
There were steps that could have been taken to keep it out of the United States, and those steps were not taken.
That's right, Mr. Limbaugh, but it's only fair that it's not fair that it's only Africa.
This is how this stuff works.
And and and if you have thinking like that in top-level administration positions, you're gonna end up with Ebola outside its primary area.
There's no reason for it to spread.
If the existing governments in Africa aren't going to do everything about it, we should take steps to make sure it doesn't get into the United States.
So we did not do that.
It's plain and simple.
Now, the fact that there might be people that are that are obsessed with political correctness and think, well, it's only fair.
The correct response is screw them.
It's too late anyway now.
And so it's I think it's uh a rational question to ask.
Just again, not for the answer, but to illustrate to inform and to teach.
This is not to praise the Bush administration, it's to illustrate the continuing incompetence of this one.
The Bush administration to Katrina was said to be disastrous, and it was said to be uncaring, and there was no urgency, and Bush didn't care because it was black people in New Orleans.
Remember that?
That's right.
And Bush, in fact, Bush even steered Hurricane Katrina in there because he wanted to turn Louisiana into a Republican state by forcing the blacks that lived in New Orleans to move to Houston, where they'd be outnumbered by the whites.
I heard all of that.
By the way, have you heard this?
A couple members of the Congressional Black Caucasians, one of them's Elijah Cummings, the other one is Emmanuel Cleaver, are running around, and they are saying that their constituents, who obviously be African Americans, are asking them if the Secret Service is purposely letting people in the White House because Obama's black and they don't care as much about protecting him.
And that story, you know where that story is?
That story is in the da-da-da-da-da-da.
Wait for it.
The New York Times.
So the crowd at Zaybars this morning got up, read the New York Times.
Wow.
Wow.
Holy cow.
The Secret Service might have actually let these bad guys in there because Obama's black?
Really?
Unbelievable.
Never mind the fact that the uh Reverend Dax has run for president, had Secret Service detail.
He's still walking and breathing and talking about it.
Reverend Sharpton had a Secret Service detail.
Much as many people thought it was a waste of money and time, he got one.
He's still alive.
He's still living and breathing and talking.
Why don't they go ask those guys about it?
But oh no, because we've got to have the possibility.
And all it is is a possibility.
It's quite in fact Emmanuel Cleaver and uh and and uh Elijah Cummings are they they told the New York Times, oh, of course that's not the case.
They're telling their constituents this.
Of course that's not the case.
Secret Service would never do that.
But then they say, but we can understand why our constituents think it.
It's just unreal.
Just unreal.
Now we've got an NBC cameraman.
Freelance cameraman has been quarantined, came down with with Ebola, and get this.
It's an unnamed 33-year-old cameraman working with NBC News correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman is tested positive for Ebola.
The man had been working for NBC for about a week prior to his infection.
Sources at NBC said the man was being flown home so he could receive the best treatment possible.
A spokesperson also stated that the rest of the crew would be flown back to the U.S. aboard a private charter where they would enter voluntary quarantine for the next three weeks.
NBC News withholding a cameraman's name at the request of his family.
How did this happen?
I thought this is hard to get.
I thought it was hard to pass on.
Didn't we hear that?
The regime, the president himself said it's hard.
Centers for disease control guys, it's hard to pass on.
If somebody's not showing symptoms, you can't get it.
Then we had this crew.
Did you see this?
The pictures out of Dallas where the stories, this this guy, the Ebola victim from Africa that shows up in Dallas.
The stories coming out about where he lived or lived or families.
I mean, it's as gross.
I mean, every story talks about this guy's vomit.
And he vomited outside, he vomited inside, and they got pictures of cleanup crews hosing it down, vaporizing it.
And we're saying, did they use bleach?
Oh my God, did they are they just spread?
They're not wearing any protective gear.
They're stuff sweeping it up, spraying it with the fire hose and a water hose or whatever.
People living in this apartment complex, hey, shouldn't we be tested?
No, you just have to stay inside for three weeks.
We'll deal with you later if you come down with it.
No, we want to know if we've got no stay quarantine.
It's a joke.
It's an absolute joke.
But it needn't have happened, folks.
And now we've got audio sunbites you're going to hear shortly.
The CDC direct, no, it would have been a terrible mistake to stop this disease in Africa.
It'd be a horrible mistake to close our borders.
The political correctness dictates that are responsible for the irresponsible application of common sense here.
And I'm not kidding you.
When you point out, when you say, like I just did at the top of the program, Ebola was relatively limited.
Right there, those are fighting words.
The politically correct is what it means is it was in a relatively few countries in the world.
Three, it was in a relatively small geographic area compared to the rest of the world, Western Africa.
And it would have been easy, or well, and an effort could have been undertaken that would not have been that difficult to keep it there.
And here come the political, oh, it's not fair.
You want to discriminate against them, you want to make sure they get sick, but that nobody else.
That's the way this thinking takes place now.
You say something factual.
I can imagine the politically correct in this audience thinking I've just said something inconsiderate, lacking in compassion.
But it's true.
The Obama response to this, given how relatively limited the Ebola problem was, given all the warnings Obama had, given the fact that nobody's trying to stop the regime from helping.
And still it it's being treated and dealt with in the most irresponsible, incompetent manner you can think of.
The news reporting on this every day has some of these drive-by people, the drive-by media interviewing the CDC guy, they're beside them, so they don't know what to do.
He's a loyal Democrat, therefore he's got to be propped up, but they can't believe what they're hearing from the guy.
And if he were a Republican, he would be destroyed on camera.
He would be out of a job before he left the studio if he were a Republican.
This they try to have to cover for the guy while maintaining credibility with their dwindling audiences by asking tough questions.
Why won't Obama stop the flights from Africa?
I keep one.
What do you mean you can't?
I mean he can't.
By who?
Who would vilify him by stopping?
No, no, you know you know why he can't stop the flights?
It's not because he'd be vilified.
What do you mean he can't stop the flights because over here he's gonna do amnesty?
And what does he need for amnesty?
Open borders.
He can't close them.
It's all political.
This is my never-ending point.
The reason he's not gonna stop the flights from Africa or anywhere else Ebola happens to be is because he's gonna do amnesty down the road.
He promised the Hispanics yesterday.
It's gonna happen.
He was bragging about the fact that he rode to the Hispanic speech with a couple of illegals, bragging about it.
And he promising him it's gonna happen.
Well, you can't shut down flights from Africa.
You can't, you can't close the border.
Not if you later plan on using the open border for amnesty.
But again, let me just ask from a common sense, forget politics for a minute.
Let me just ask the question.
What would be wrong with stopping flights into the U.S. from those West Africa countries being overrun with Ebola?
What would be wrong about it?
You know, during the latest round of fighting between Israel and Gaza, Obama didn't have any trouble stopping flights to Israel.
He said it was a matter of public safety.
Remember that?
He shut down flights to Israel.
Remember that?
From the United States.
He was not letting people under the guise of safety and security had no problem stopping flights to Israel.
And the reason for that's political, that was to do economic harm.
So what do you mean he can't do it?
He'd be vilified.
He already has done it.
He could have stopped flights from those countries into the United States.
And under the same premise that he used when he announced that we were eliminating or terminating temporarily flights into Israel.
But but no, the head of the CDC, this Thomas Frieden guy said we have to stop it in Africa.
But the problem is it's pretty clear we're not stopping it in Africa.
And this guy turns around and says we can't stop it in Africa by closing the borders here.
We we we can't stop it in Africa.
The Ebola patient in Dallas proved that.
He got out of Africa.
Hello, Meryl Streep, and got into the United States just as he proved the screening being done by the locals in those African countries is practically useless.
Remember the CDC guy bragging about the procedures they've set up to prevent what happening or what happened from happening?
The African guy shouldn't have got here because, well, they're doing they got exhaustive uh screening techniques.
They're asking uh interviewing people to fill out forms and then they're wanding them to see if they have uh fever.
But this guy got past it all.
You think Dr. Frieden at the Centers for Disease Control would let his daughter sit next to somebody from Liberia on an airplane for 14 hours.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but maybe some reporter should ask him.
They're not gonna ask him that, never mind.
So, Dr. Nancy Snyderman and the whole NBC crew now, voluntary quarantine for three weeks.
You've got a cameraman over there.
These are people who know what to do to avoid getting the disease, and they still got it.
And we have reports of doctors in these countries in full hazmat gear getting the disease, and over here were told it's hard.
You don't have anything to uh worry about.
By the way, NBC has named that freelance cameraman.
His name is Ashoka Mukpo.
Any update, by the way, on the 3,000 U.S. soldiers Obama sent to fight Ebola.
Has anybody heard about that mission?
Greetings and welcome back.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, the guy on the radio you never get tired of listening to.
Had a caller tell me that yesterday, and I've had many people say, no, that's really true, and I wish I'd been the one to say it.
I appreciate that.
He never, he will not know how meaningful a comment like that was.
It's open line Friday, 800-282-288-2.
Did you see where the Texas hospital?
That at the emergency room, the guy from Liberia shows up, says he's from Liberia, he shows up and they send him home with antibiotics.
That hospital in Texas is now blaming flawed software.
Watch them blame it on Apple.
Blame it on iOS 8.
Everybody else is blaming everything on it.
Blame it on iOS 8.
Uh no, blame it on 8.0.1.
In trouble, blame Apple, folks.
That's what everybody else is doing.
And then get this.
Both NBC News and the Washington Times are reporting that a patient at Howard University Hospital, who has just returned from Nigeria, is being monitored for Ebola.
Howard University Hospital is in Washington, D.C. Now, if it turns out that this is an actual case of Ebola, and it is in the nation's capital, then everything's going to change because that's where the establishment is.
When it's in Texas, Montana, Wyoming, it's one thing.
When it's in their town, uh-oh.
I know it's a cruel thing to think and say, but it happens to be true.
Human nature.
Last night, Anderson Cooper 24 spoke with author David Quaman about the book Ebola, the natural and human history of a deadly virus, and how America should respond to it.
Anderson Cooper said, there are those who say that there should not be flights allowed from Liberia to U.S., even flights that have connected through Europe.
Now that's not even really possible.
First of all, I don't think there are many flights that directly connect from Monrovia to the U.S. Most of them are connection flights.
So it's virtually impossible in real time like that to track somebody, I would think.
You can't isolate neighborhoods, you can't isolate nations.
It doesn't work.
And people talk about, well, we shouldn't allow any flights in from Liberia.
I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia, given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery.
We have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help them see this through.
There, if you doubted anything about this, that I have been attributing to political correctness all week, there you have it.
How dare we turn our backs on Liberia?
How dare we ban fly?
How dare Liberia only exists because of American slavery.
We owe them by sharing the burden.
All week long I have been attempting to express the uh convince everybody of how the tentacles of political correctness are slowly destroying the backbone and the spine of this country.
And not just the backbone and the spine.
Political correctness destroys common sense.
Political correctness is a direct attack on achievement and success.
It's an attack on extraordinary.
It's an attack on excellence.
And that's why it's made to order for the Democrat Party, made to order for liberalism.
Now, who is this guy?
This guy is an author.
His name is David Kwaman.
He's written a book, Ebola, The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus.
And he was on CNN with Anderson Cooper last night.
And he's an acknowledged quote-unquote expert on Ebola and how America should respond to it.
And Anderson Cooper basically, in the question says, look, there aren't any direct flights from Africa to the U.S., certainly not from Monrovia or Liberia.
I mean, how are we going to we can't?
We can't, we can't stop all these flights.
There's no way it's virtually impossible.
Right?
And then this guy's answer is not only is it impossible, we have no business stopping these flights.
We have no business trying to keep Ebola out of this country, especially from Liberia.
We have no, we have no guilty, folks.
We essentially deserve this.
You can't isolate neighborhoods, you can't isolate nations.
It doesn't work.
And people talk about, well, we shouldn't allow any flights in from Liberia.
I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery?
We have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help them see this through.
Let me ask a question.
Okay, so I know, I know, I know everybody's shouting things at the radio.
Let me go through these one at a time.
We are not turning our backs on Liberia by keeping Ebola out of this country.
A total nonsequitur.
We are helping.
We're doing everything we can.
We sent every bit of the serum that we had over to Liberia and other countries.
We've done a lot to try to help isolate.
But keeping Ebola out of America is not turning our backs on Liberia.
And then, of course, why we are responsible for Liberia.
Why, if we hadn't had slavery that poor black people had to flee from, why there wouldn't be a Liberia?
Therefore, there wouldn't be any poor slave descendants in Liberia to even get Ebola if it weren't for us.
So we are ultimately responsible for them getting Ebola, because if it weren't for us and slavery, they wouldn't even be there.
And so we can't turn our backs on them.
That country was founded because of American slavery, and therefore, since it's all our fault, we have a responsibility to stay connected.
And by God, if any of them that we sent over there back in the 1800s because of slavery, want to come back here, who the hell are we to say no?
Because everything that's happened to them is our fault.
Hello, political correctness.
And hello, everything happening under this giant umbrella of guilt.
This is also true, by the way, about the nation of Sierra Leone.
Sierra Leone was a resettlement colony made up of former slaves from uh from England.
And in fact, the first ship.
I know you people marvel at the trivia that I know, but it's true.
I do know it.
The first ship of blacks sent to Liberia was called the Mayflower of Liberia.
Anyway, you see how this convoluted thinking goes.
Okay, we had slavery, which is our original sin.
And everything that makes America rotten and worthless and mean and immoral descent from that.
Anything that happens because of our past experiment with slavery or past period of slavery, we own.
Therefore, Liberia exists because of us.
The people in Liberia only went there because they had to get out here because they were slaves.
So anything that happens to them while it's ultimately our fault.
And how do we pay the price?
By getting Ebola ourselves.
That makes it fair.
That makes it equal.
So I do understand.
What do you mean I understand?
Are you being facetious when you shout at me that I understand everything?
This is I do, I not oh, you're agreeing.
You're not being facetious.
I thought, I thought you were being snarky.
Okay.
See what's happening.
Well, you can't hear, folks, and believe me, you're never going to hear it because the risk is too great.
Snerdley is saying, well, you know everything.
I thought he was being snarky.
What he's actually saying is, you know, you called this early this week, and you're exactly right.
What's still amazing?
After 25 years, why are people still shocked that I'm right?
But they are.
But this was clear as a bell.
But my being right is not not the point here.
This is one of many teachable moments.
And so the the the reason why a bunch of people don't think we should be banning flights is because we kind of are responsible for this.
And therefore, if Ebola ends up here, it's only payback, folks.
Slavery.
It's only payback.
And unfortunately, we have elected people in positions of leadership who think this way.
The president is one of them.
That's why he wants amnesty.
He wants low-skilled, low wage, unemployable people to come in because he thinks we have made victims out of them because we were so mean when we founded our country and built it, and it was growing that we were mean to these kinds of people.
And now it's payback time.
And that you can smirk all you want, and you can think that that's a simplistic explanation, but I'm telling you, it is right on the money.
And you just heard it.
Just heard it from an I'm, I'm sure a card-carrying leftist, this guy, David Quan.
Here, listen to it again.
You can't hear this soundbite enough as far as I'm concerned.
You can't isolate neighborhoods, you can't isolate nations.
It doesn't work.
And people talk about, well, we shouldn't allow any flights in from Liberia.
I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery.
We have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help them see this through.
And if that means that we have some cases of Ebola break out in the country, in our country, then so be it.
That's the price we pay.
Because it's all our fault to begin with.
Now you should know that uh Great Britain, the United Kingdom has stopped flights from West Africa.
Other African countries have banned flights from West African countries.
The Washington Post has an article.
Why aren't we banning flights from Ebola countries?
But they're not upset about it.
They give us the answer.
The subheads, air travel restrictions ignore the way Ebola is transmitted.
So the Washington Post has a story.
Why aren't we banning flights?
Because it wouldn't matter, you see.
It wouldn't matter.
Because they say if a passenger is sick or has fever, they won't fly anyway, so the sick are not going to get on these there.
We don't have to worry about it.
That's why we don't ban flights.
Now that doesn't explain how Thomas Duncan got here, because he got on the plane sick, knowingly sick, and he's admitted he came here to get well.
He came here to get, you can't blame him.
I mean, that's that's that's not the point.
The point here is that these are the kind of people running the CDC.
These are the kind of people running the FDA, the EPA, the IRS, uh, the Justice Department, the White House, this kind of thinking that you just heard in this sound by David Kwaman, that's what is leading the country.
That's the kind of thinking we have at top leadership positions.
It's all rooted America is guilty.
And we have never paid the price for it.
We've gotten away with all these transgressions all these years as a superpower, and now it's time to pay the bill.
Yesterday on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC senior correspondent, this is their website, senior correspondent Adrian Arseneau interviewed Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sir Leaf.
And during the interview, the Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sir Leaf says this about Dallas Ebola patient Thomas Duncan.
The fact that he knew and he left the country is so proud of me.
Now, can you imagine what David Kwaman must think when he hears this?
So here is the Liberian president.
Ellen Johnson Surleaf condemning her own citizen for knowingly leaving the country and infecting others as unpardonable.
Her own citizen, she says, is being guilty of action that is unpardonable, unforgivable.
She is condemning his own behavior.
Meanwhile, our politically correct people are saying, oh no.
Oh no, he's only there because we put him there because of slavery, and if he wants to come here, we are responsible for him.
And if we get sick, if there's some cases of Ebola here, why price we pay.
Now, I know Mr. Kwaman is not saying purpose, he didn't specifically say, well, we caused it, and therefore, if we get some cases, then okay, it's payback.
That's what he means, folks.
How dare we turn our backs on Liberia given the fact that this is a country founded because of American slavery?
You know as well as I do what that means.
Slavery is the worst thing this country ever, ever did, and we are gonna be paying the price as far as these people are concerned for as long as they can exact one.
These people have always been around.
The politically correct have always been there.
We've just never elected so damn many of them.
As we have now, and we'll be banned.
A minor correction, folks.
I was supplied with some misinformation.
The British government has not banned flights from countries with Ebola.
British Airways has banned passengers with Ebola banned flights from these countries where Ebola has broken out.
British Airways is not flying from those countries.
The British government itself has not stopped those flights.
Now, Anderson Cooper, In his pregunta, little Spanish lingo there.
Uh in his question to this this this wacko David Kwaman about how it's there aren't there aren't any direct flights.
Uh Africa to U.S. We can't stop them anyway.
It turns out that there are.
Breitbart has a story.
Cheap flights from Liberia to Washington available amid Ebola crisis.
A simple search on TripAdvisor shows that anybody can buy a plane ticket from Liberia to Washington, D.C. for relatively low price.
On any given day, more than a dozen flights from Liberia are available.
Travelers can buy a ticket for as little as uh 1,300 bucks, 1400 bucks, and that gets them from Monrovia, Liberia to Washington.
In many cases, the flights include layovers in heavily populated uh U.S. cities like New York's JFK airport.
So you can.
Anderson Cooper was wrong.
You get on the flight from Monrovia to Washington numerous times, 1,400 bucks.
You can do it.
Now, as I mentioned, both NBC News and Washington Times have a story that there is an Ebola patient being treated at Howard University, which is Washington, which is where what happens.
That's where the establishment is.
Now, if there is an Ebola patient in Washington, you're going to see an entirely different focus on this from Washington.
Just it's just human nature.
People make jokes about the establishment, fly over country, but you watch.
And there's probably if if if if black people think the Secret Service is letting people in the White House to get Obama, then I guarantee you there's probably some thinking out there that says, well, Calypso Louie.
Calypso Minister Farrakhan said that this is all a creation of the CIA to commit genocide on black people.
So you know there's going to be some conspiracy thinking along the lines.
Well, everybody so far that has this disease is black, but you let it spread to white Americans, it could be a cure immediately.
There's all kinds of stuff.
And you know what?
In a vacuum, these kind of conspiracy thoughts rise to the surface, and we've got a leadership vacuum on this right now.
And we've got things happening that are inexplicable.
Like the lack of cleanup, any concern for what's going on in this apartment complex in Dallas where the Ebola patient was.
It's incredible.
Here's uh here's Christine in Seattle, Washington, as we get a phone call in the first hour, open line Friday.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Uh, can you hear me?
Yeah, I hear you great.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
First of all, it's an honor to talk to you.
I've been listening to you since I was 15 years old.
I'm 36 now, and now my children listen to you.
Um I'm calling because, first of all, I'm angry.
Clearly, no one is in charge of what is going on here.
There is no structure.
In fact, I feel like I could have done a better job preparing for this outright.
Um, it's unnerving.
I'm a mother of three, and I'm angry and I'm scared.
I want to know why we aren't using specialists like the Army Chemical Courts, who are trained in chemical and biological warfare to take care of this mess.
Well, I think the answer to this, I'm looking the answer to this is right here in the first audio sound bite that we played.
The answer to this is to your question and and every other similar question.
Why aren't we doing more to stop this?
Why aren't we doing more to clean this up?
Why aren't we doing more?
Why aren't we taking more steps to the answer to your question and all the others is rooted in David Kwaman's answer.
How dare we turn our backs on Liberia?
How we how dare we turn our backs on people with Ebola?
They have it because of us.
If it weren't for us, they wouldn't have Ebola, see.
If it weren't for us, there wouldn't be a Liberia.
If it weren't for us, there wouldn't be black people living there.
It's because of our slavery.
And we owe it to stay connected.
We can't ostracize them.
We can't make them feel bad.
We can't humiliate them.
But we're letting them live in an emboli-ridden apartment that hasn't been cleaned in a week, and all of a and that they government should be ashamed that that's how they're treating these people.
Letting little children run around the apartment complex where the person vomited all over the place.
That's not a way to treat Americans Americans living here.
Well, wait, but I there's a large Well.
See, you can't win.
It's a there's a large illegal immigrant community there.
That that this is all that that's a factor in this too.
It's all politics.
The answer to your question's all politics.
