Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're Jamison Naples farn As we go back to the
phones on open line Friday. Hi, Hey, Hi, Rush, sucker
punch did it? Thank you? Thanks very much, Harbor. Hold
what is sucker punch? Dittos? Well, sucker punch is just
instead of saying hello, Mary Christmas, I feel sucker punched
(00:21):
by the election. I'm calling from the lady from two
calls ago when you were talking about a reaction the
next day, the next week. You know, it's like a
sucker punch, babe, And you know this is how this
country was what seventy one years ago, although you wouldn't
know about the news today because nobody wants to talk
about Pearl Harbor and what where our country was then.
(00:44):
But let's go to the present, okay, and I'll tell
you you know this and just everything you just said
about women and looking at it. Oh, you're so right,
You're so right. And this is my Merry Christmas present
myself just talking with you because you I don't know
(01:04):
where we just pray for your daily effort. Well, thank
you very much because I need it and I appreciate
you must be so worn out because we're worn out.
But ba Dolly, you know and for me, I've got
two two boys military. One just came back. When you
(01:28):
stand with your kids at Arlington and he's buried one
of his men. Okay, you get it. You get what
we're fighting for and what the people before us have done,
and we we cannot quit. I am scared. I am,
I am realistic. I am in the real world, and
(01:49):
I think we were sucker punched with the stimulus. We
came so close to closing down Obama Care. But I
know that's not what you're sucker punched about. Let me try.
Let's let me help out, because I know correct me
if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. What
really has you flabbergasted is the scary thought that we've
(02:12):
lost the country. But of the people who vote a
majority believe this crap, you're you're and you're one. How
in the world we change that? How do we reach
these people? That's what you're frustrating. Will never do it
with public schools. I've come out of the public schools
as a teacher for the last years, and your your
(02:34):
remarks on that have been right on, and I have
said that it's a wonder we still even have a
chance when those seniors votes in an election because they
do all voting. I'm telling you it's vote as demos.
How can we fight that? That's been going on for years?
They come out program well, a lot of people have
(02:59):
been making that events just by themselves as an example,
living through such a horrible economy with so few job prospects,
many people have been thinking that would do it. And
the real, sobering, shocking reality is that it doesn't. That
(03:22):
we have two things. We have a welfare we have
we have a Santa Claus president who is providing what
work used to provide, and a media which is blaming
people have nothing to do with this for the problem.
And you are scratching your head, like everybody, how do
we penetrate this? How do we stop this? Because you're
(03:46):
like every you don't want to see the country no
matter what happened this election, you don't want to give
it up. You call here talking about Pearl Harbor. Pearl
Harbor was nineteen one. Pearl Harbor probably isn't much, and
if it is, my fear is that it is really
(04:07):
downplayed as as an event, and it may even be
a vehicle for teaching how horrible this country is with
nuclear weapons in the public school system. Pearl Harbor is
probably a gateway for some anti war teacher to say,
it was Pearl Harbor the United State, it's overreacting and
(04:28):
killing innocent people with two nuclear bombs, and blah blah
blah blah blah, and the true nature Pearl Harbor, what
it meant, and what it revived. Pearl Harbor was the
catalyst for bringing this economy back out of f d
r's stagnation due to the New Deal. Pearl Harbor awakened
(04:50):
a great country and allowed this country to show what
it's made of and what it could again in liberating
millions of people, millions of oppressed people from tyranny. And
now you see people in this country unwillingly, you hope,
(05:12):
voting for a modified tyranny, voting for an ever expanding
Washington d C would ever expanding power over the individual.
You see developing a totally different relationship between citizen and government,
(05:35):
and you're scared to death. You think that a pretty
good shot was spent fighting this. A fairly decent effort,
not the best, but a fairly decent effort was made
in repelling it and beating it back, educating people it's
the wrong way to go, and it didn't work, and
so you're at your wits end. Everything you believe in
(05:58):
you think people are laughing at everything you believe in,
you think people I don't think is important anymore. Everything
you believe in, you think, you get the impression that
that people mock. And so you're tennis is the heck
with it? You know, why? Why why should I care anymore?
But as much as you'd like to quote unquote tune out,
(06:22):
you can't because you do care too much and it
does matter too much. And you're not quitters. I mean
you're talking to Pearl Harbor to me, you're not a quitter.
So I know that you're always going to be counted.
This is from Daniel Helper at the Weekly stand of
It's actually according to the Senate Budget Committee Welfare Spending.
(06:46):
Let me relate this to Pearl Harbor. If I may
seventy one years ago December, or as f DR said, December,
some nane to imploy won't all day which we're living
in Boma, n seventy one years ago. Whenever we went
(07:11):
to war to defend our country from tyranny, we were
attacked from outside. Now we are watching it being given away.
All throughout the Great Depression into World War Two, we've
fought to liberate people from tyranny, from oppression. Country that
(07:35):
stood for freedom and rugged individualism. And you know, it's
it's it's a term that gets thrown around. I actually
think this is probably tests negatively entrepreneurial. I think it
almost if I had to guess the Democrats focus group
that word, and it tests negative like the rich tests negatively.
So it probably ought to stop using it. But look
(07:58):
at what we've become here. According to the Senate Budget Committee,
welfare spending per day per household in poverty is one dollars.
That's higher than the one seven dollar medium in a
median income per day. Now, when you break that down
(08:19):
per hour, welfare spending per hour per household in poverty
is thirty dollars. That's higher than the median income per hour.
We're spending a hundred sixty eight dollars every day for
every household in poverty. And by the way, we're not
eradicating it. We are spending more in poverty than the
(08:45):
median income in this country. In other words, we are
giving more money away than the median family is earning.
What's gonna happen. That's a tipping point. Figures why work
I can get more not working, and welfare benefits are
(09:07):
not taxed. In addition, now this is said to be compassionate.
This is said to be caring for the downtrodden. It's
not compassionate. This is consigning people the lives far less
than what they could be on their own. But we
get just it's insensitive to say that, mean and all
(09:29):
that that's an amazing stat to stab it's a figure
