| Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast. | |
| Hi, folks. | |
| Great to have you here. | |
| You know it is amazing. | |
| How coincidence happens. | |
| When coincidence happens, it makes you ask. | |
| Is it coincidence? | |
| It's amazing how events occur in your life with unbelievable timing. | |
| Last night, I saw a movie which puts the folly and selfishness of Colin Capernick in full focus. | |
| And it was by happenstance. | |
| Pure happenstance. | |
| Greetings and welcome. | |
| Great to have you. | |
| 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. | |
| We're going to get to all the stuff today. | |
| We'll get to the campaign Trump and Hillary. | |
| We'll get to Wiener and Huma and Apple and the European Union. | |
| By the way, how's that globalism working out for us? | |
| It seems like there's a lot of anti-Americanism in Europe right now. | |
| I mean, this woman that did that press conference announcing at Apple owes 15 billion, loved it. | |
| She just loved putting the screws to an American company. | |
| So we'll get into that in great detail. | |
| I saw a movie last night that I really, really, really hope you get to see. | |
| I hope you take the time to see it open Friday. | |
| It's called Greater. | |
| But before I describe this movie to you. | |
| A little bit more on Capernick and developments since yesterday. | |
| There's a rookie linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles named Mike Tavaris. | |
| And on Monday, he said that yesterday he planned to what to join Capernick. | |
| Capernick's protest refused to stand during the National Anthem at Upcoming Games in the National Football League, and then within hours changed his mind. | |
| Now I want to I want to issue a I don't know what you call this, a message. | |
| I just want to say something to you players of the National Football League. | |
| The American people love your sport. | |
| And the American people respect you who have the unique human ability to play it at the level you play it. | |
| But the American people are not going to sit by idly and watch the stage of the National Football League stolen and used for personal political purposes. | |
| Now, you players in the NFL, you can go ahead and try to continue stealing the stage of the NFL if you want. | |
| You can take the example of Kaepernick. | |
| and And you can try to get some news coverage, you can draw attention to yourself, but you run the risk of obliterating the stage on which you perform that earns you your living and gives you the opportunity to succeed beyond your wildest dreams. | |
| You better be careful in what and how you express your thoughts on this country. | |
| Greatest place in the history of mankind, and the residents of this country are among the luckiest in the history of all humanity. | |
| the National Football League is on TV it can easily be turned off Thank you. | |
| The National Football League is sponsored by beer and cars and soft drinks that can easily be not purchased. | |
| Not that hard. | |
| Just turn it off. | |
| You better be especially careful because the opening weekend of the National Football League this year is the 15th anniversary of 9-11. | |
| Opening Sunday in the National Football League this year is September the 11th, the 15th anniversary. | |
| And if a number of you endeavor to try to steal the stage of the National Football League to call attention to a personal political issue. | |
| Attention you could not get without Stealing the stage of the National Football League. | |
| You run the risk of doing grave damage to the league and business in which you play and are paid. | |
| A business which depends on massive public love and support and attention and money. | |
| So you, I think need to consider all of this responsibly. | |
| And try to understand who your audience is and why they are watching. | |
| And understand that they tune in to three hours, six hours, nine hours, however many hours on Sunday and Monday they watch, and now Thursday, to escape what they consider to be the stresses and the strains and the humdrum of their lives. | |
| They tune in to the National Football League for a little break from the hassles of life. | |
| They tune into the National Football League to forget all of these things that are causing controversy and divisiveness. | |
| They want to be entertained. | |
| We want to be entertained. | |
| We want to watch spectacular athleticism. | |
| We want to watch the drama of competition. | |
| We want to watch programming that has no script. | |
| Therefore, we have no ending until it actually ends. | |
| And you run the risk of destroying all that. | |
| If you misplace your priorities. | |
| Now, what helped me bring this into greater focus last night, my friend Nick Searcy, well-known Hollywood actor, said, hey, I got a DVD screener I want to send you. | |
| New movie just came out. | |
| I have a little part in it. | |
| It's called Greater. | |
| And I said, Nick, I'd love to watch it, but you're going to have to have them caption it, or I'm it's going to be a worthless endeavor for me. | |
| I literally cannot understand dialogue in a movie with all the other noise, the soundtrack and whatever other things are going on without subtitles or close. | |
| No worry, we'll take care of it. | |
| The guys are going to do it, they're going to do it. | |
| I said, cool. | |
| So I had never heard of the movie. | |
| I didn't know the story. | |
| The movies about, I didn't, I didn't know anything about it. | |
| I received the movie on Saturday, and I had a chalk fill weekend, and I didn't get a chance to watch it. | |
| So Nick sends me a note yesterday. | |
| Did you see it? | |
| Did you see it? | |
| And I wrote, sorry, Nick. | |
| Haven't had time, gonna watch it tonight. | |
| So last night about 7 o'clock, I plugged the DVD screener. | |
| I inserted it into the tray of my DVD player, and lo and behold, there was no captioning. | |
| So I put it on pause and I wrote Nick, I said, look, there's no there's no captioning file. | |
| And I'm gonna watch it, Nick, because I watched the first five minutes of it, and I was already hooked. | |
| I was already intrigued, and I was really frustrated. | |
| I was turning the volume up as loud as a house could take it. | |
| I was rewinding in 10 and 15 second bits. | |
| I got up and I stood as close to the speakers as I could to try to make out the dialogue. | |
| And throughout the movie, I was only able to pick up, I'll bet you I didn't get 30% what was said, but I know this movie, I know everything in it, I know it, I it it was incredible. | |
| I tried three different DVD players, thinking, well, maybe one of them's not picking up the file. | |
| I tried every which way I could think to get the captioning file to display, but it didn't. | |
| So a movie with a little over a two-hour runtime. | |
| I spent four hours last night watching, rewinding parts that I wanted to see again. | |
| The timing of this compared to this Capernick folly. | |
| Story of Brian or Brandon Burlsworth, Brandon Burlsworth, who I'd never heard of, and I'm shocked that I had not heard of him, born in Harrison, Arkansas. | |
| A chubby kid with a father that was not a factor in his life. | |
| Mother loved him dearly, had an older brother, a brother that many people thought was his father, such was the age difference. | |
| Kid was really chubby. | |
| He sat on the sofa watching college football, eating chips and cheese. | |
| Family chided him, made fun of him. | |
| He would watch, I'm gonna play there someday. | |
| I'm gonna I'm gonna be a razor back. | |
| I'm gonna I'm gonna be on the Ark of the Day. | |
| Everybody laughed at him. | |
| Oh, really? | |
| Really, Brandon, you're gonna be a razorback? | |
| Hey, Pig Suey, yep, I'm gonna that's gonna be me someday. | |
| Pointing to TV. | |
| This kid had no connections. | |
| Harrison, Arkansas. | |
| He is his dad was not there. | |
| He literally had no connections. | |
| He had no money. | |
| There was no way he would ever attend any university unless he could acquire a scholarship. | |
| And there was no way he was going to get a scholarship because the coach who first saw him said, I don't know whether to put you on life support or send you down and get you outfitted for a uniform. | |
| He was so overweight. | |
| Because a coach had told him when he was 275, he was too small to play at Arkansas. | |
| So he started eating and got up to 330 and showed up, said, No, this is not what we had in mind. | |
| He was a walk on. | |
| University of Arkansas. | |
| Today his jersey is only the second Jersey retired in the history of Arkansas football. | |
| His locker permanently ensconced in glass in the razorback locker room. | |
| Here are the various awards and honors and foundations started because of his achievements. | |
| The Brandon Burlsworth Foundation. | |
| He died 11 days after being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts at age 22 in a traffic accident near his home on his way to Indianapolis. | |
| He was just an incredible story, incredible young man. | |
| The Brandon Burlsworth Foundation was established after his death by family and friends in honor of his work ethic and his Christian values. | |
| Then there's Burl's kids. | |
| Provides underprivileged youth a chance to attend Arkansas Razorback and Indianapolis Colts football games. | |
| Eyes of a champion. | |
| He lost a lot of his eyesight. | |
| had to wear giant Coke bottle glasses underneath his helmet to play, and did. | |
| The Eyes of a Champion program was started in 2007, and that is a program in partnership with Walmart and Sam's Optical Department and the independent optometrists across Arkansas, providing eye care to thousands of pre-gendergarden through 12th grade students. | |
| There are Brandon Burlsworth football camps. | |
| and He won numerous scholarships. | |
| There is the Burlsworth Award. | |
| He was a walk-on. | |
| He had no connections. | |
| He had no money. | |
| He shows up at Arkansas, fulfilling a dream, sitting on the sofa at eight, watching razorback football, saying, I'm going to be there someday. | |
| I'm going to that's going to be me someday. | |
| He overcame insurmountable odds, seemingly insurmountable odds. | |
| He is the most famous walk-on, success story in college football. | |
| And to this day, there is a national award given to the college football player who achieved the most as a walk-on every year. | |
| He was teased. | |
| He was ridiculed. | |
| He was bullied. | |
| He was laughed at. | |
| He was told he couldn't do it. | |
| And he never stopped smiling. | |
| The personality that Brandon Bullsworth had throughout all of this adversity, as portrayed in this movie, which, by the way, is a multi-year project. | |
| A lot of heart and salt has gone into the making of this movie. | |
| Neil McDonough is the lead actor, plays the brother, the much older brother. | |
| You know, the thing about this, folks, I mean, what this really is an incredible, genuinely incredible story about the values that you and I all hold dear. | |
| That we hold on to, that we to this day trust make the difference in success and failure, happiness and misery, hard work, perseverance, competition, leadership, faith. | |
| All of that takes place in this movie with SEC football as the backdrop. | |
| Because this man's life was culminated with his success story at Arkansas. | |
| Now the movie opened last Friday, and it is expanding with a bunch of theaters and screens. | |
| It was practically sold out Arkansas, and now it's expanding. | |
| And here's the thing. | |
| I mean, there are a lot of movies with these values. | |
| There are a lot of movies that try to capitalize on what the producers think are conservative values, and so they throw these conservative values into a story, make a movie of it, and think that conservative people, people of faith are going to show up. | |
| There's not a single cliche in this movie. | |
| I mean, it's all real. | |
| And probably because it's based on an actual life. | |
| It is all genuine. | |
| There's not a single cliche. | |
| Now, I have to say I've there was no captioning and I missed some dialogue. | |
| There might be some cool. | |
| My point here is that there's nothing fake or phony, but this man existed. | |
| He was real. | |
| He was uh just completely unique. | |
| And I'm telling you, the chance that, you know, I could have watched this thing on Saturday or Sunday and didn't. | |
| The fact that I didn't watch it till last night after this whole bro, with Colin Kaepernick and all of the people speaking. | |
| What a great, brave thing he's you that's folly compared to the story of Brandon Burlsworth. | |
| Maybe the cliche is somebody taken way, way before their time. | |
| Why does why do bad things happen to good people? | |
| I mean, you can't help but be moved by this. | |
| It isn't. | |
| It could have been cheesy. | |
| It isn't. | |
| It's inspiring. | |
| This is backbone of Americans. | |
| When I describe on this program talking to you about the people who make this country work, it's things like this that I have in mind. | |
| People that come from places in the country you've not heard of who are just out living and trying to do the best they can. | |
| No connections. | |
| No networking. | |
| Nobody knew anybody. | |
| Nobody in his family knew anybody to call it Arkansas. | |
| He had to earn every step of it. | |
| Now, he plugged away at it, almost didn't make it a couple of times. | |
| And you have to allow that I may miss some of it because I didn't get all of the dialogue, so I can't for certain say he had no connections. | |
| My impression watching this and hearing what I was able to hear and the portrayal of the father make me pretty confident in saying that this was stories all the result of perseverance. | |
| Yeah, I know, gotta take a break. | |
| Not to belittle connections, by the way. | |
| Don't misunderstand here. | |
| Back here in just a second. | |
| Name of the movie, the title of the movie is Greater. | |
| One word, greater. | |
| I have to tell you, I watched the movie last night. | |
| I can't believe that I had not heard of Brandon Bullsworth or the story. | |
| You know me, I'm the most informed man in America. | |
| But I'm not a college football devotee, so that may be it. | |
| But I stopped short in listing some of the awards. | |
| There's the Brandon Burlsworth Award, given out yearly to a male or female at Harrison Haskrul and the University of Arkansas. | |
| There's the Bertlesworth Trophy, created in 2010, named in his honor. | |
| It's given yearly to the most outstanding Division One college football player who began his career as a walk-on. | |
| There are numerous foundations and charities associated with the not disabilities, but the challenges that Burlsworth had to overcome to succeed. | |
| Now it wouldn't be what it is if all there was was athletic achievement, which is phenomenal, but it was the kind of person he was. | |
| By the way, person of faith, but they don't preach to you in the movie. | |
| I mean, it's not beaten into you. | |
| It's just portrayed as it was a part of his and his family's life. | |
| But it's genuinely inspirational. | |
| It is genuinely uplifting. | |
| And it provides such a contrast. | |
| The events of the movie take place in the 1997 to 1999 era. | |
| And it will give you hope that such values and so forth may one day dominate yet again. | |
| But it shows their value. | |
| And the fact that the young man was a uniquely special individual is why all of this has happened. | |
| Not just the athletic success and achievement, which in itself was phenomenal given all the obstacles he hadn't overcome. | |
| So I just wanted to share this with you. | |
| Because the movie opened Friday and it's uh they're hoping for the Labor Day weekend, and they deserve it. | |
| It's really, really well done. | |
| Name of the movie is Greater. | |
| I'm gonna take a brief time out now. | |
| We'll come back and uh we will deftly swerve into the other news of the day. | |
| John Carey, for example, served in Vietnam, saying that the media ought to stop covering terrorism so much. | |
| It would upset people less. | |
| Or something like that. | |
| I would love to see the eggs at Anthony Wiener hatched from. | |
| Does this guy not know? | |
| Does he have not the slightest idea how the internet works? | |
| After having been caught once, does he have no idea how nothing on the internet is private? | |
| If you listen to the drive-by media, the biggest scandal about the Huma Wiener and the Carlos Danger Contre Ton is that Trump is using it to question Hillary's judgment. | |
| Yeah, they're trying to build a wall around Huma Wiener. | |
| It's just it's just unconscionable how Donald Trump would seek to exploit the pain and suffering of a couple in their private moments. | |
| Private moments? | |
| Private moments. | |
| We have some we have a woman who is advising Hillary By the way, folks, you should know something. | |
| I have it on the highest authority that there are people within the Hillary camp starting to get worried about Huma in terms of the advice that she's giving Hillary. | |
| People are looking at Huma's life, and a lot of it doesn't seem to make sense. | |
| And they're wondering what in the hell is she advising Hillary to do? | |
| And there in other words, there may be trouble in paradise. | |
| I do not know to what degree, and I don't know how serious it is, but there are people who are concerned about this. | |
| Then of course they're the national security implications. | |
| Now, what Trump tweeted yesterday was Huma Abaddon, the top aide to Hillary Clinton and the wife of Perv Sleasbag Anthony Wiener was a major security risk as a collector of information. | |
| And the drive-bys are having a fit. | |
| I mean, they're so irritated or having a liter of kittens out there. | |
| Never mind, every word that Trump said is true. | |
| And they're worried, they're they're angry. | |
| How dare Trump, dude, how dare Trump say it? | |
| Just like Trump's tweet about the murder rate in Chicago over the weekend. | |
| It kind of illustrates what telling the truth about a circumstance looks like now. | |
| How dangerous it is to tell the truth, and what it looks like when you do. | |
| We've had so many years Where spin, buzz, and PR have substituted for reality that when anybody dares actually go there, it seems so odd, it seems so coarse, it seems so insensitive, it seems so ooh, ooh. | |
| And yet what Trump said is true. | |
| Huma Abaddon holds the keys to the kingdom. | |
| That's why Huhuma Abaddon's mother is relevant to the extent that Huma works with her mother, and that her mother is a big believer in Sharia. | |
| I mean, it's these are all legitimate questions. | |
| We're talking about electing the person president of the United States. | |
| I thought all vetting was was that all vetting was required. | |
| Of course, we've learned that there's no such thing when it comes to Democrat candidates. | |
| We didn't vet Obama, the drive-bys did we did. | |
| The drive-by's did not. | |
| And the same situation involving Hillary. | |
| Now, the after all this, the the woman that that uh that Carlos Danger was sexting in his latest escapades a Trump supporter and even a staunch NRA supporter. | |
| But she could have just as easily been a KGB agent. | |
| And who knows who else Weiner has been interacting with, and who knows what their connections are. | |
| These are all legitimate concerns given who Huma advises. | |
| Blackmail vulnerability, all of these things are that'd be irresponsible not to consider this. | |
| How do we know, for example, that Carlos Danger wasn't duped into doing this in the first place? | |
| Blackmailed it, because this doesn't make any sense. | |
| How stupid is this? | |
| You caught once doing this, humiliated, you lose your job because you're a Democrat, you're able to come back when you almost get elected mayor of New York. | |
| Then that blows up and you revert to the same behavior that nearly destroyed your career the first time around. | |
| Who is that stupid? | |
| Or who is that arrogant? | |
| This is the kind of setup the KGB and other foreign intelligence agencies dream about. | |
| Even though Houma has cut the cord from Carlos Danger, it still has people's antennae raising. | |
| And then we have our Secretary of State, our esteemed Secretary of State, John Kerry, who once served in Vietnam. | |
| He said yesterday during an appearance in Bangladesh that the media could do us all a service if they didn't cover terrorism quite as much. | |
| Well, might be doing Obama and Hillary a service, which is probably why John Kerry said so. | |
| Maybe it is why the drive-bys have stopped covering terrorism as much as they used to. | |
| Carrie was speaking at a press availability, said no country is immune from terrorism. | |
| It's easy to terrorize. | |
| Government and law enforcement have to be correct 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. | |
| But if you decide one day that you're going to be a terrorist and you're willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people. | |
| You can make some noise. | |
| Perhaps the media would do us all a service. | |
| If they didn't cover it quite as much. | |
| People wouldn't know what's going on. | |
| Here you have a ranking member of the regime actually saying the people wouldn't know as much. | |
| What kind of government officials think that way? | |
| The people wouldn't know as much. | |
| What kind of Democrat, what kind of liberal dreams of that circumstance? | |
| The people wouldn't know as much. | |
| Seems like that's already happening when it comes to the media reporting on Hillary and her emails, or Hillary and the Foundation, or Hillary and Pay for Play, or Obama and anything he Did it seems like the objective here was precisely that the people wouldn't know what's going on. | |
| And precisely because of that, people do not have the ability to fix blame to this administration for the policies they have implemented that have caused the degradation of the American economy and the American culture. | |
| Because Obama's not attached to any of this. | |
| Obama's not tied to anything in the economy except when they try to tout this great recovery going on. | |
| Of course, there isn't one. | |
| Kerry called these acts of violence and others worldwide a stark, painful reminder that those who aid terror groups or perpetrate these acts have no respect for national boundaries, no concern for the rights of others, no regard for the rule of law, and they do not embody the values of the people of Bangladesh or the U.S. or the majority of people across the globe. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| No respect for national boundaries. | |
| That's a European Union. | |
| I said there was a European Union guy came out just the other day, Monday, maybe over the weekend. | |
| Said the worst thing that had ever happened is the creation of nations. | |
| That's what they think at the European Union. | |
| And uh Kerry is talking about terrorist groups who perpetrate terror acts who have no respect for national boundaries. | |
| Speaking of which, speaking of which, let me there's a story about Mrs. Clinton. | |
| Yes. | |
| This is interesting too. | |
| Remember when Hillary just saw the clock. | |
| Quick timeout, obscene profit break. | |
| Back in just a moment. | |
| Don't go away. | |
| How are you? | |
| Welcome back. | |
| Great to have you. | |
| I got a bunch of emails here. | |
| By the way, the new email address, L Rushbow at EIBNet.us. | |
| No longer.com. | |
| You said it there, it's gonna end up in Ether. | |
| Nobody will ever see it. | |
| It'll have the equivalent of becoming invisible ink before it explodes out there. | |
| So use L Rushbow at EIB net.us. | |
| They got a great email note here. | |
| Rush, Rush, you forgot something in your monologue about the NFL and Capernick. | |
| And the emailer is right. | |
| Let me read this to you. | |
| Listening to your analysis of potential jeopardy for the NFL if the player's socially conscious behavior ends up alienating fans and viewers. | |
| I know why, Rush, but what you didn't say is the NFL only has itself to blame. | |
| It was the NFL that sponsored their own Hispanic Week. | |
| It's the NFL that goes all pink in the month of October for breast cancer in order to make themselves look socially aware. | |
| And as you well know, Rush, as a sports expert, once you bring social consciousness to the field, where does it stop? | |
| Once you open that door, and you are the NFL, how do you tell other people not to do it? | |
| Hands up, don't shoot from the St. Louis Rams. | |
| I can't breathe on t-shirts. | |
| Sitting out the national anthem. | |
| How long do you think it's going to be, Rush, before college and high school players start sitting out the anthem? | |
| What better way to become nationally known? | |
| Why, you can get the same kind of attention and fame that Colin Capernick is getting, and all you've got to do is sit on your butt during the national anthem. | |
| You nailed it as usual, Rushbow, but this is just the beginning, and NFL itself opened the door. | |
| And I have to say, I have to say that this guy has a point here. | |
| But it is the NFL, and it's their stage. | |
| Regardless, if this stuff keeps up, I'm look at my my point remains the same. | |
| People's tolerance for social issues is immense. | |
| People's emotional reservoirs are, but there's a limit. | |
| And I'm telling you, people turn on the National Football League or watch any other thing on TV or sports to get away from whatever they may consider to be the humdrum of their life. | |
| They don't want to be preached to. | |
| It's the same reason why political statement movies bomb. | |
| It's not why people go to the movies. | |
| And I guarantee you, people are not turning on TV to watch players, third string, bout to be cut players, making an issue of disrespecting the national anthem in the country. | |
| That's not where they tune in. | |
| You're gonna have a couple. | |
| You can have some people of percentage. | |
| Wow, this is great, this is controversy. | |
| Man, I wonder what's gonna be going to have that. | |
| But people that watch the NFL for other reasons, who still love the country, and I trust that it's a greater number than 50% of Americans who still love the country are not going to find a lot of tolerance for this. | |
| And then the more the social activists pipe up and start talking about how brilliant these protests are, and how we ought to sit back and pay attention, and we better listen, and we better notice, and we better understand, and we better understand why people hate this country. | |
| We better get with it fast. | |
| We better understand why, and we better be ready to accept whatever demands they make to change this country. | |
| That's fine and dandy, but not on Sunday afternoon. | |
| It's too easy to turn a TV off. | |
| It's too easy not to buy the latest beer or soft drink, too easy not to go out and buy sports jerseys and paraphernalia and that kind of thing. | |
| And it's really very easy to say, you know what? | |
| I'm not gonna put up with the trek to the stadium and the traffic and all that. | |
| So I just think everybody ought to be careful. | |
| It's the way the European Union is looking at Apple. | |
| European Union is nothing but a bunch of takers. | |
| European Union wouldn't know how to produce diddly squat. | |
| So Apple is the golden goose. | |
| And they're taking as many eggs from the golden goose as they can. | |
| Because they're out of money. | |
| All these brilliant socialist democrats in Western Europe, all these elites, these pointy headed intellectuals, our so-called betters, can't manage anything, and they have been out of money for years. | |
| They don't know how to budget, they don't know how to behave responsibly. | |
| So here comes Apple, and it's a big pile of money, and they can go get it, and Apple's just the first. | |
| And the interesting thing about this is that who's Tim Cook's idol up to very people who want to do this to his company. | |
| You know what else is interesting about this? | |
| This babe over there that her name is Marguerite. | |
| What's her last name? | |
| Marguerite something. | |
| She just tore in. | |
| Grab soundbite number. | |
| Sorry for the paper rattling. | |
| Uh, number 24, Marguerite Vestager, or Vestager, or Vestiger, I don't know how she pronounces it. | |
| But this was this morning in Brussels during the press conference sheet. | |
| Our decision concludes that splitting the profit. | |
| Oh, listen to this. | |
| Hold on a minute. | |
| Hold this is even better than I thought it was gonna be. | |
| Oh, I'll just listen to spitting the profits, they're not having any facts. | |
| Oh man, this is just too perfect. | |
| Here they hit it again. | |
| Our decision concludes that splitting the profits did not have any factual or economic justification. | |
| The so-called head office had no employees, no premises, no real activities. | |
| The so-called head office was attributed almost all of the company's profits. | |
| The second company, Apple Operations Europe, makes certain Apple computers in Ireland. | |
| Under the same two tax rulings, the majority of its profits was also artificially attributed to a so-called head office that only existed on paper and whose profits were not taxed. | |
| Look, I don't have a dog in this fight. | |
| I'm just telling you that Apple set themselves up according to Irish law. | |
| So they set themselves up according to Irish law. | |
| Look, folks, you're gonna have you can have one or the other, but you can't have both. | |
| You can either have confiscatory taxation like this or you can have jobs. | |
| The problem with leftists is they think you can do both. | |
| They think they can tax the golden goose as often and as highly as they want, and that the golden goose is gonna keep producing. | |
| Because they've never been in that sector of life where the golden goose lives. | |
| All they are is a bunch of takers. | |
| A bunch of people in government with power to take. | |
| But you put on them the responsibility for innovation, creation, productivity, invention, and you've got nothing because they are clueless. | |
| So they come along and they start demanding all of this. | |
| And then they start demanding jobs. | |
| And you can you have to choose one or the other confiscatory taxation or jobs. | |
| What do you want? | |
| But there's another aspect of this that isn't being reported. | |
| And that is the anti-Americanism of this. | |
| The EU, all this globalism, Obama and his cronies trying to tell us that globalism is the future. | |
| And that the U.S. was going to be once again loved and respected once Obama was there and George W. Bush was jettisoned. | |
| And now this? | |
| This woman delighted in screwing the screws tighter to an American corporation. | |
| And the U.S. and Obama did everything to try to stop her from doing it. | |
| And she relished it all the more. | |
| Huh. | |
| Okay, we've got a good roster of calls coming up, folks. | |
| And I've got some news I have to pass on. | |
| It's not going to make anybody happy. | |
| It doesn't make me happy. | |
| They're forcing me to take the three days of this week off. | |
| The last three, they're forcing me to do it. | |
| I have broadcast partners because they're afraid of burnout. |
