That -- -- -- that -- I have no I.

And let you know it was it was spot it was just a Broadway Show it it was really that we had a good time with you get fired at the end I was ultimately everybody gets -- All right so let's talk about what happened in Egypt over the weekend.

The Muslim Brotherhood candidate was elected in the first free presidential election is in as Mohammad.

Morrissey.

Where are we to make of that.

Well I think Obama's foreign policy is that a total disaster here a lot of people say they should detect about foreign policy because he's done so well.

And you'd think what he does well I think it's our policy is -- it disaster.

Now the Muslim Brotherhood -- taken over each of which is about as bad as it can get.

-- -- We give billions and billions of dollars to Egypt Egypt was a so called friend of Israel it's not going to be a friend of Israel value here what they're saying.

And I think overall speed of the foreign policy of Barack Obama this is just one of many many instances -- been a disaster.

But what do you expect him to do for example if they go out and vote and most people want the group that's been banned for the last eighty years from any election and they vote -- -- we supposed to put our finger on the scale.

Though it would not supposed to do that but you know we -- helped the -- Bart station -- -- was a friend of ours and he was different Visio.

And we dropped him like gay -- red hot potato if we just drop it now is -- sitting in jail waiting to die.

But he was -- so quickly it was incredible so that's that is supporting people that have really supported us.

But look what we do -- this Muslim Brotherhood and take it over Egypt which is by the way -- disaster.

For Israel.

Because the protesters were not Muslim Brotherhood they would young college kids who wanted to change those kids have been sidelined.

And the income the Muslim Brotherhood because they were well oiled machine compared to the other group.

They weren't tired they read it beautifully and sparkly and the outsmarted the United States as usual what's -- with that everybody else but.

So don't don't ship the et Al.

-- China or wherever else an import dirty OPEC crude.

I mean we're gonna go down as the dumbest generation.

If we do day for me we're fools if we do it because the that we have so much natural gas -- -- -- We got enough natural gas for a couple hundred years why -- at a town Donald Trump well.

Right except for one thing that we're going to go down we are down -- the dumbest group of people we have the dumbest leadership.

But it did it basically many generations just incredible -- would -- -- he's a 100% right we're loaded up with natural gas we do not think about it.

I can't get it they did not adapting cars still it.

We could we could solve this problem so quickly we don't need OPEC would have beat anybody but we don't do anything about it it's hard to believe actually it's hard to believe.
