Time Text
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Rush Limbaugh serving humanity right here behind the golden EIB microphone, broadcast excellence, the fastest three hours in media, this is.
This program's over, you wonder where the time went.
I know I do every day.
We've already got one down.
I can't believe it.
Anyway, here's the number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882 in the email address El Rushbaugh EIBNet.com.
There's one guy on the Democrat side, and there may be more, but there's one guy who is not afraid of Obama's incompetence in foreign policy at all.
In fact, there's a guy out there that uh is not worried about much of anything here except Israel.
As they give you a hint as to who it might be.
The problem in Paris, Israel.
Terror attacks around the world, Israel.
Because of their mistreatment of the Palestinians.
He's an American.
Jimmy Carter.
Wait till you hear this.
This is Monday, and it was in the daily show.
Excuse me, I almost belched there.
He was on Comedy Central.
And he was uh he was asked this question.
I view this extremism as sort of a pretext.
This idea that it's a religious backing seems a pretext for just you know, they're a bunch of angry, nihilistic.
I mean, if it didn't have a religious part to it, it'd be something else.
They would use some other pretext to be violent in this way.
Do anybody have an idea where that question is?
Is anybody know what Jimmy Carter's being asked here?
Did you understand that question?
Let me see if I think understand the question.
Well, it's under it's important to understand the question before you get the answer.
I don't know what he's asking.
Let me here's the exact verbatim quote of the question.
I view this extremism as sort of a pretext.
Pretext or what there's no pretext, it actually happened.
It's not a harbinger.
It happened.
Twelve people are dead.
What is pretext?
No, let's be patient.
I view this extremism as sort of a pretext.
This idea that it's a religious backing seems a pretext for just you know they're angry, nihilistic.
Does anybody know what that means?
You want to take a stab?
What do you think it means?
Hmm.
Okay, so that's so the question Carter's hey, it's not that they're religious.
It's not that they're Islamists.
They're just ticked off.
They're just angry, and they're using their Islamism as the reason.
But if it weren't that they'd come up with a is that what the question is.
So that's they're not really Islamists.
They're just a bunch, probably they need some Adderall.
They need some ADHD meds.
They're just too active, and they're mad and they're running around shooting people.
And if America didn't have such stupid gun control laws, probably wouldn't have happened in Paris.
Right.
So uh if it didn't have a religious part to it, it would be something else.
They'd be mad about something else.
They would they would use some other pretext to be violent in this way.
So okay.
I guess the question he's being asked is asking Carter, look at these guys really aren't Islamists, right?
They're just a bunch of angry tufts.
And if it weren't Islam, they'd be mad about something else.
Is that right, Mr. President?
Here's Carter's answer.
One of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem.
You know, and this aggravates people who are affiliated anyway with the Arab people who live in the West Bank in Gaza.
What they're doing now, what's being done to them.
But I think that's part of it.
Obviously, Carter didn't understand the question either, because his answer is a total.
John Stewart's asking, so look at these guys aren't really Islamists.
You know the game here, Mr. President.
We've got to defend these guys.
We got to defend military Islam.
We're gonna be politically correct, but they're not militant Islamists, they're not even Islamists, they're just saying so.
They're using that as their excuse, right?
That and Carter's supposed to say, that's exactly right.
These young men, uh, if they're not mad about this, they'd have been mad about uh Israelis.
If they weren't mad about this, they'd be mad that I'm not president anymore.
You're exactly right.
That was supposed to be the answer.
But instead, Carter says, Well, one of the origins for this, and he's he's talking about the whole event in Paris.
He's not even reacting to the question.
One of the origins for this is the Palestinian problem.
You know, and this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank in Gaza, what they're doing now, what's being done to them.
They gets part of it.
I don't know.
You know, it's no wonder college kids love this show.
Who can possibly translate this?
But anyway, that's the setup, the big one that comes next.
Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter thinks that terrorism is going to end up being good PR for Islam.
All right, now here's the question.
And this is on the Huffing and Puffington Post Live.
This is a different host.
This is Mark Lamont Hill.
And he says, Jimmy Carter, there's been a concern among some Islamic leaders that that very small percentage, that handful of people in relation to billions of people are unfairly being seen as representatives of the religion.
And it is producing a kind of Islamophobia around the world.
You see, see, two times here, different places, Jimmy Carter's being asked to agree with the premise that, hey, there is no Islamism here.
These are just a bunch of radical extremists, not really, this is not what Islam is.
And Carter is supposed to agree with both premises.
And here's what he says in answer to this attempt to get him to agree with them.
I think this is going to give uh a lot of people an incentive to look into Islam and see what is about this religion that makes it great.
That makes it appeal to really billions of people, and to understand that the Islamic leaders condemn this kind of terrorism just like the rest of the world condemns it.
I'm s I'm sorry.
Is that not?
I guarantee you, if this guy Leslie Geld probably afraid of this guy, too.
You talk about non-sequit or nonsensical.
Okay, let's parse this.
Again, Mark Lamont Hill is trying to get Jimmy Carter to agree that the terrorists are not really Islamists.
They're not representative of the great religion of Islam.
Just just say, just say yes, Mr. President, you go on to the next show.
Instead, Jimmy Carter said, well, I guess it's going to give a lot of people incentive to look into Islam.
And what it is about this religion that makes it great.
Yeah.
Islam is killing 12 people is going to make all of us curious to go find out what's great about this religion.
Jimmy Carter.
He the the the fact that they run around doing all this terrorism, that's that's I mean, that's gonna make an appeal to really billions of people.
It does appeal to billions of people.
We're gonna be investigating here to find out why, to understand the Islamic leaders condemn this kind of terrorism just like the rest of the world.
Look, I don't I don't want to be insolent here, but who's he talking about?
Do you know where where are these uh Islamic leaders have condemned it?
I'm that help me out here.
I'm telling you, I don't know.
Are there any?
Have you seen any?
I haven't.
But I don't want to say there haven't been any if there are.
Who?
Who?
Like who?
Give me a name.
Just say Muhammad, okay?
Just say Ahmed.
Give me a name.
Who?
Okay, nobody in there can give me a name.
They don't know off the top of their heads, they can't remember a militant.
Uh sorry, uh Islamic leader condemning this.
I can't either.
I'm not saying that they haven't.
I just um I'm still stuck on Jimmy Carter saying terrorism will make people look at Islam to see what's great about it.
If anything, people are gonna look into Islam to find out what the heck is it that's motivating terrorists like that.
That's what people are going to advent.
You got one who?
Who?
Salomon Rushdie.
Don't give me Salman Rushdie.
Salman Rushdie dates women that are 18 years old.
You can't run around and tell me that he's a moderate Muslim leader.
He's an author.
Salomon Rushdie, he's not even an Imam.
Salomon Rushdie.
I think Carter, this is incredible.
Carter actually thinks that these militant acts of terrorism are gonna cause people to get curious about Islam, what they're gonna be doing.
If anybody, they're gonna be in investigating this to find out what is it that is inspiring this.
I mean, Jimmy Carter, he's a fact saying Islam must be great.
Look at how its followers kill people who won't accept it.
Well, that's what's all about.
Infidels.
Okay, there is one.
There is one.
Uh somebody named El Sisi.
Al Sisi.
Somebody named Al Sisi is the only person who's condemned militant Islamic extremis extremism.
I read his name in the uh show prep that Al Sisi.
S I S S I, but I can't remember any more about him than that.
Quick time out.
We'll get to your phone calls when we come back and give continual thanks.
Jimmy Carter is no longer president, but actually, we've got Jimmy Carter's second term here.
And Hillary Clinton is going to be his third if she ever gets elected.
Make no mistake about that.
Abdel Fatah El Sisi.
He is the current president of Egypt.
He was the general who overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama's buddies in Egypt, and that is why he he is the only Islamic leader of any type that I'm aware of who has come out and criticized militant Islamism.
And in fact, Abdelfatah al-Sisi actually has called for a revolution in Islam.
And he was uh, you know, he was he was the uh Egyptian military and participated in ousting the Muslim Brotherhood way, way, way back there in the Arab Spring.
Obama's buddies.
And uh so Jimmy Carter nor Obama would have much regard for Abdelfhat Sisi.
But I can't think of anybody else.
Jimmy Carter's here is with all these Muslim leaders denounce it.
I he's the only one that I can recall.
To the phones, we're gonna go to Bruce in Farmington, New Mexico.
You're up first today, sir, and I appreciate your waiting.
Great to have you with us.
Hi.
Thanks, Raj.
Thanks for having me on.
And since you don't know me from Adam, it's not an honor, but it is a true privilege.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I appreciate that, sir.
Hey, I wanted to clear up some of the stuff about fracking, and I've been dying to get on and talk to you.
I'm a I'm an exploration geologist, and I work used to work as an engineer in a frack group.
And I'll start with your methane comment today.
Fracking has nothing to do with methane.
Methane is the natural gas that you burn in your house that is the byproduct of drilling the wells.
And up here in in the Farmington area, we've got 30,000 wells.
Of that 30,000, 90% have been fracked.
And there is nothing new with fracking.
We've been doing it since the 1890s, and hydraulic fracturing since the 1930s.
In the 1960s, the Department of Energy even used nuclear weapons up here to try and see if that would frack better.
Right.
What's new is the drilling processes, the horizontal and the directional drilling.
But because everything is political and words have meaning, the left has gone on to fracking because nobody understands that.
They haven't heard it before.
Everybody can everybody can relate to drilling.
And everybody knows you have to drill.
Yeah, I'm I'm not ignoring, I'm looking for the story that mentions methane as part of fracking, and the story even postulates that's why Obama is now trying to limit methane or cow farts.
Well, what happens with it with methane and the wells when we drill the well.
Well, I'm looking I'm glad to point if if you're right, doesn't matter.
I've got a story here that says it nevertheless.
So that the media, whoever is behind this, is just putting out absolute BS.
Yes.
In order to drum up support for Obama on this, no matter what, we know that's happening.
Well, and and they can't point to drilling and saying these new drilling techniques are bad because they know we've been drilling since early 1800s.
That's not stopping them.
They're blaming earthquakes on fracking horizontal drill.
They're blaming everything they can on it.
Right, and it has there's nothing new about it.
Absolutely nothing new except that the p the public is aware of it now.
Well, wait a minute.
You mean there's nothing new about horizontal?
Look, I know it's not a new technology, but it's newly occurring because of the cost, right?
We haven't been able to engage in it until the price of oil reached a certain level.
Well, the the the technology actually does horizontal drilling has evolved significantly in the last 10 years.
Um, we we had tried to do it before, but we knew these beds were full of oil and gas.
We just couldn't get to it economically because we didn't have the ability to drill a mile out horizontally from the vertical wells.
Right.
And we do now.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
But we we we've that's why I say it.
We've always known how, but it was never economically feasible or sensible to do it.
Right.
And the Saudis now, which who who who are actually actively uh lowering the price of oil by and participant, they're trying to harm our newfound independence via fracking.
They're trying to make it more expensive and at least less sensible for us to do it.
No question about it.
Well, the the problem with that with that thought process is that we already know it's there.
We'll just idle everything until the price of oil goes back up again and then get back after it.
I mean, the only thing they're gonna do as far as hurting us is a very momentary uh pause in what we do, and then you know, when we need it again later, we know where it is, we'll go get it.
Just like we've gone and gotten it now.
But see just the the the thing that some people are and I think uh wisely afraid of.
What if Obama comes out with some anti-fracking executive order, just outlaws it.
Uh and and and with with the with the ration of fear that exists understandably of government power today.
What if people just shut down?
And I he's gonna be gone someday, I know, and someday the price of oil is gonna come back up.
It always does, it always has.
Although I saw this the other day, too.
Some expert somewhere, might have been an OPEC, said that the day of 100 a barrel oil is gone forever.
It's never gonna get that high again, implying they weren't gonna let it.
It won't happen like that because what what this is hurting is is the uh the Soviets.
And if their industry collapses, they can't recover like we can.
Right.
And once they collapse, the price of oil, uh OPECA will own it again.
And you think a hundred was expensive.
Wait till it's 150 or 200, and then we will crank back up again.
And we can do we can just turn we can turn it back on.
This this country has got such depth and such capability, the industry will come back.
Spirit of entrepreneurism.
Yes, sir.
I I totally agree with that.
And I I totally understand it.
Uh at the same time, do not doubt that people in this regime are going to be doing everything they can to make it impossible.
With regulations, with laws, with penalties that are punitive financially.
That's how they are going to do this.
It is very obvious, and the Keystone Pipeline and Obama's deliberations and his whole modus operandi, it is very clear the the the Obama and his administration do not want the U.S. to have oil independence.
They just like every Democrat, they run around, they campaign on it, and they complain, they run against Exxon and they run against Mobile and all these other people.
When it comes down, it's time for the pedal to hit the road, they don't want any part of energy independence.
They don't want this country to escape that yoke.
It's just who we have.
I appreciate the call, Bruce.
Thanks much.
This is Hussein, Orlando, Florida, your next sir.
Hello.
Hey, how's it going, Rush?
First time caller, long time listener.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, um, yeah, I think uh George Will has it wrong.
Uh Obama's desire not to have that pipeline uh come across the U.S., I think has to do more with his um adoration for Islam.
He has he has a uh soft spot and adoration for especially the radical parts of uh Islam and the Middle East, so he's not gonna do anything to weaken the Middle East.
Having U.S. be self-sufficient, having the U.S. be able to reduce own oil is gonna weaken the Middle East.
That's not something he's gonna do.
And at the same time, he's gonna have the ability to weaken oil companies which support Republicans.
All that may be true, but that's not what George Will was saying.
Uh George Will was not commenting on whether Obama's right or wrong.
George Will's point was that Obama's handling of the Keystone Pipeline has illustrated that he's a faux intellectual, that he's not thoughtful, that he's not particularly bright, and that he's not anything everybody thought he was back in 2008.
And George Will's point was that this is so obvious everybody knows it.
And my voice, who is everybody?
I don't think the vast majority of people yet realize what a fraud Obama was.
I don't.
This is my point again.
I'm not disagreeing with George Will.
Anybody to misunderstand me?
I wish he was right.
Now, maybe in his world, you know, people inside the Beltway that play chess and checkers every night, they may be talking about Obama being incompetent.
What a fraud, and they figured it out.
But do you think in Hollywood they figured it out?
Do you think it's Sony they figured out?
Do you think it uh take your pick of anywhere you want to go in the country?
The oil business knows.
I mean there's certain elements of uh the free market-based economy who know, but I'm low information crowd, anybody in that crowd realize now how Obama has exposed himself as a fraud by virtue of the way he's handled a Keystone pipeline.
I guess this is hard to explain.
All I'm asking is George George Will stating what you and I all know to be true.
I knew it before the Keystone Pipe.
I didn't have to have Obama.
I knew that he was a fraud in the phony from the get-go.
But George Will claims that the peace Keystone Pipeline, the way Obama's handled it, hasn't finally shown everybody.
And I'm just not sure everybody gets it.
That's my point.
Okay, I found it up in there, folks.
This is it.
Uh Obama, it's an AP story.
Uh Obama moves to create first methane limits for gas drilling.
The regime laid out a blueprint yesterday for the first regulation to cut down on methane emissions, a new natural gas wells, aiming to curb the discharge of a potential or potent greenhouse gas by roughly half.
The White House set a new target for the U.S. to cut methane emissions by 40 to 45% by 2025 compared with 2012 levels.
To meet that goal.
The EPA will issue a proposal affecting all oil and gas production.
I told you people I saw this.
Caller says, nothing to do with methane and oil, but tell Obama.
And tell the EPA, because they're getting ready to regulate it here.
The EPA will issue a proposal affecting oil and gas production while the Interior Department will also update its standards for drilling on public lands.
Methane, which leaks during the production of natural gas.
Leaks.
Yeah, that means it's not supposed to be there, right?
Yeah, it leak also leaks when cows expel gas.
Yeah, not supposed to be there, right?
Methane has grown as a concern for environmentalist wackos amid the boom in drilling for oil in National.
Of course it has, because they're opposed to it.
And so is Obama.
That's what Keystone Pipeline shows.
And now, now with the gasoline, well, the oil price down hovering around $50 a barrel, now the anti-Kestone people are coming along.
Hey, see, we don't need it anyway.
We don't need the Keystone Pipeline, and we don't want that dirty, filthy oil transversing our country to pipeline.
We don't need it anyway.
But whatever, they're not, they're not.
They don't care about energy independent, not for the United States.
That's not part of Obama's dream of transformation for the country.
The companion story that the methane and drilling story is uh with Pope.
Reuters, Pope wades into climate change debate, says it's mostly man's fault.
Well, this Pope sure has got his priorities right.
Climate change, the biggest thing facing Catholicism, Catholicism, and Christianity.
You believe this?
You know, when this guy came out with his economic statements and I said it's Marxism, the world erupted in outrage, and I would dare characterize the Pope as a Marxist.
But his economic policies or philosophies is he explained them were completely dead.
And then if I'm not mistaken, the Vatican went on a what do you call it?
Circle the wagons tour to that's not what the Pope was saying.
Pope is not a Marxist.
Okay, fine.
They had to they had a dial it back.
But a poured the Papal Plane.
This is uh from Reuters, the reporter is on board the Alitalia plane that's ferreting the Pope around.
Pope Francis waited into the global debate about climate change on Thursday, saying that he believed that man was primarily responsible, and that he hoped this year's Paris conference would take a courageous stand to protect the environment.
The Pope said that his long-awaited encyclical on the environment was almost finished, and that he hoped it'd be published in June in time to provide food for thought ahead of the UN climate meeting in Paris in November.
Speaking to reporters on the plane, taking him from Sri Lanka to Manila.
He was asked specifically if man was mostly to blame for climate change.
He said, Well, I don't know if it's all man's fault, but the majority is, for the most part, it's man who continuously slaps down nature.
Man.
Oh man, you know, I folks, I've got a I gotta really watch it here.
We are talking about the vicar of Christ here.
The vicar of Christ believes man is not part of nature.
Uh okay, I'm gonna leave it there.
I'm just gonna it my religious beliefs are what one of many things that inform me that we couldn't have any impact on the climate, the planet, the globe, creation, no matter what, no matter how much we wanted to.
It's beyond our reach.
But that's just me.
I'll leave it there.
Boko Harem.
Not to be confused with Proclharem, great rock group of the 60s, Boko Harem.
Says now that they have killed another two thousand to twenty-five hundred people.
How's that hashtag working?
Save our girls.
This bunch is just on the march, the horrific aftermath of Boko Harem massacres on Nigerian villages, and infrared satellite images show destruction of densely populated towns.
A witness says that terrorists shot and kid that by the way, these are Islamists.
Sorry.
Terrorists shot and killed a woman who was in labor.
Estimated 2,500 people killed.
More than 3,700 structures were razed.
Extremist group Boko Harem decimated towns of Baga and Doron Baga.
One of the towns nearly wiped off the maps is Amnesty International.
Survivors describe fleeing over dead bodies of people killed like insects.
They have left a trail of murder in Mayhem all across Nigeria.
February 2014, they raided a village in the north of the country and murdered dozens.
April 2014, nearly 300 screw girls abducted from the town of Chibak, which then Boko Haram burned to the ground.
August 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped 97 people during raids on villages in the Borno state.
They killed 28 boys and men.
November 2014, 120 people killed in a bomb attack on a central mosque in Kano, the principal city of northern Nigeria.
And January 4th, this year, Boko Harem kidnaps 40 boys and young men, believed to be 10 to 23 from a village in the Nigerian state of Borno.
How's that hashtag working?
Is it insensitive to ask?
Yes, it is.
You wait.
You wait.
It's going to be insensitive to bring up the hashtag.
We weren't supposed to let this stuff happen after Wanda.
We're wanted.
Clinton's still apologizing for not paying enough attention to the tutos and who.
Yeah, but but yeah, this but see, Rwanda was a genocide among warring tribes.
This is a particular group about whom we're not going to.
We're not going to associate their active activities with their religion.
well yeah it's genocide it's all of that but it's black lives matter of course black lives matter but they're being taken by black it's big Obama would love to do something about it I'm sure he's just too busy there's all kinds of stuff he's got to get ready fill out the brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament coming up he's got opening of the golf
season football games this weekend but I just they engaged after the 300 girls were taken to kidnap them to save our girls hashtag no Michelle yeah leading Saudi Arabia you know Saudi Arabia folks actually Iran is said to be and has traditionally been said described as
the epicenter of worldwide terrorism and it's always been true to one degree or another but something that has been missed in focusing on Iran has been the role of Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism and the Saudi Arabia is is complicit in a lot of this too in radicalizing young men in the
mosques and it escapes you
know the king the royal family escape any association with this and yet the king is the principal head of Islam around the world the king of Saudi Arabia Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and routinely the king somehow is exempt I remember talking to some some experts and they were telling me about this for me it was a learning exercise trying to get up to speed on some of this stuff some
month ago now and this guy was focusing on Saudi Arabia and its vast role in raising money and donating it to militant Islamists in the form of Saudi charities around the world but just the stuff that goes on in the country and I said because I was totally ignorant I said well is the king part of this?
you know King Abdullah?
yeah they run it the royal family runs this stuff I said but they appear to be westernized and he said don't be fooled well anyway the point of all this is you remember it wasn't long ago last October or November King
Abdullah welcomed the newly named ambassadors to Saudi Arabia from other nations around the world he welcomed them to his palace and he delivered a speech which is traditional and he warned them about ISIS and he told them that they needed to go back to their home countries and tell their leaders back there that if people didn't get their hands on this and didn't get their arms around that ISIS was going to end up taking over the world and
literally scaring everybody into submission they were the most brutal the most dangerous the most terroristic and he was genuinely afraid of them and I couldn't help but think at the time well where do you think they come from I
mean he went back he told these visiting these newly named and arrived ambassadors to Saudi Arabia he told some of them and this was I forget I think it was the UK Telegraph that I was reading the story and he told them that Europe if these people didn't get their act together Europe would fall to ISIS by 2020 he
said they're on the march and a lot of people okay the guy is just exaggerating to make a point well maybe not Saudi Arabia Arabia is building a six hundred mile great wall Saudi Arabia is building a massive fence six hundred miles Long.
It's a combined fence and ditch.
Its purpose is to separate Saudi Arabia from Iraq to the north.
Most of the area on the Iraqi side of the border with Saudi Arabia is now controlled by ISIS or ISIL.
But they're not just building a 600 mile fence.
And by the way, why are they building the fence?
They're building the fence to keep ISIS out.
And you know why?
Because fences work.
It's not just a fence, folks.
This is a five-layered fence.
And it has ditches.
This is a massive construction project.
It has berms, it has razor wire, thermal sensors, radar, and helicopters.
It is a full protection security system.
Five hundred miles of that.
Stop and think for a moment.
A 500 mile, five-layered fence.
This is not just a bunch of stakes in the ground with some barbed wire running.
This there are guard towers, so every so many feet, miles, whatever.
The trenches are deep.
They are all packed with sensors to detect anybody trying to cross.
And if you get caught, you're going to be beheaded.
They don't mess around.
Stop and think of this, though.
Six hundred miles.
This is going to dwarf in si not not the length, but it's going to dwarf in in size, scope, and effectiveness.
The Great Wall of China.
It's going to be militarized using technology available in 2015.
30,000 troops will man this fence.
And the sole purpose of the fence is to keep ISIS out.
The Saudis are scared to death of ISIS.
And the king made it clear to those newly arrived ambassadors last fall.
It's abundantly clear the Saudis are scared to death of them.
If the Saudis, if these guys are too radical and too what for the Saudis, it ought to tell you that they are a bad, bad bunch.
Must take a brief time out.
Talent on the loan from God, meaning it will be returned someday.
Rush Limbaugh at 800 282-2882.
James in Arburndale, Florida.
Welcome, sir.
I appreciate your patience.
Hanging on.
Rush.
An honor to talk to such a person of a high position of authority as you.
God bless you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I don't know about that, but I accept your nice kind words.
Pertain to the Keystone Pipeline.
When you're contradicting the uh talking points of the Democrats, I've never heard you talk comment about this, and I'm con I was interested in this.
If there ever was an oil spill.
Under this Republican bill, the United States would have to pay everything, and Canada would be off the hook.
Democrat or Republican, that's not right.
A fair question to ask you, yes.
Uh well, I mean I'm not even up to speed on the concept.
What happens if there's a spill now in the Alaskan pipeline?
Good question.
I don't know what happens.
I I don't think they're going to build this with the idea of a spill.
They'll probably build it with the idea of making sure it's tamper proof and and uh and all that.
But uh, you know, we clean up the messes of the world, we just do it.
Whether they happen here or elsewhere.
We accept the blame for everything.
True.
Thank you very much for taking my call, my friend.
You bet.
Happy to be of assistance out there.
What?
What do you mean?
What was he gonna say?
Yeah.
No, he didn't, he didn't wimp out.
He said that.
No, he he said he was a well, he might not have said he was a Democrat, but he was.
But he said he's in all the times that he's heard me talk about the Keystone Pipeline, he's never heard me address the concept of who's gonna clean it up.
Yeah.
Oh, he was gonna say that.
Oh, the caller was going snerdily, this isn't the screening process you'll learn these things.
And the snurtery says he was going to make the point that we would never see a dime as a country from this, that it would all go to Canada.
Well, I don't know.
The refineries would the oil would go to refineries, and they don't work for nothing in there.
Um, I wish he'd have gone there, but he didn't, and that's it.
We're out of time for this busy broadcast hour.
We will be back.
Get this, Oxford University, Oxford.
Oxford, Cambridge, Oxford, has warned authors not to write about bacon or pork to avoid offending Muslims.
And they now engage in the Muslim call to prayer every afternoon from a bell tower somewhere on the campus at Duke University.
And Billy Graham's son Franklin Graham has come out and came out and told Duke to cancel that.
