Clint Eastwood appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Friday to discuss a number of issues ranging from his now-famous “empty chair” speech at the RNC, to Washington’s apparent inability to do anything productive.
When CNBC’s Becky Quick asked Eastwood what he thinks of the “empty chair” speech in retrospect, knowing that some called it embarrassing while others still reference it as a crystallization of the Obama presidency, Eastwood remarked: “You know, the one thing about getting into the senior status of life you don’t really care. You just say what you say and then you can get away with it.”

But what’s really grabbing headlines was Eastwood’s words for Washington.
Speaking about the budget, he remarked (all transcripts via CNBC):
Who’s doing these? I mean, you got a big staff, a lot of people. Isn’t anybody helping? Isn’t anybody jumping in there? People going places on expensive rides. Let’s get in there and get it done.
On the average American’s role in mess:
I think [elected officials] have to hear from the public out there. And maybe the public is a little lackadaisical as far as– you know, most– the average laymen out there sitting– going, “Well, nothing I can do about it. So I’ll just wait it out.” But meanwhile– you know, I don’t want to wait too long.
And on Simpson-Bowles and a debt reduction plan:
They were just dismissed and that was the end of it. And that’s kind of– it’s almost like they don’t give a damn. And so if they don’t give a damn, why did they expect anybody else to? And obviously they’ll– you know, people get complacent and then things really go bad.
[...]
Somebody’s got to give somewhere along the line. And if they don’t give then it’ll just be more of the same. Then we’ll slip back into recession again which is what– would be very worrisome this time.
Here’s video of Eastwood’s remarks:

Feb. 10, 2013 at 10:19amI respect Mr. Eastwood for at least trying, but the poor guy just doesn’t understand who Obama is, what his kind are trying to do and the tatics. Until he start reading up, he”’ continue to say things that embarassingly out his lack of knowledge.
He obviously lacks so much knowledge, we’d need to do a quick jump start to get him on track. Maybe direct him to Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016: Obama’s america”, and the books Liberty and Tyranny (Mark Levin), Ameritopia (Mark Levin; which will also jump start his knowledge on Leviathan, the Communist Manifesto, etc., so he understands these people better), some Thomas Paine, John Locke, Edmund Burke. He may not care about what he says, but he’s got to understand he’s not just speaking for himself, but us, and we need him to at least kow what he’s talking about.

Or somebody like Iran could fire just a few missiles from a submarine offshore that would explode above the US in an Electro Magnertic Pulse attack knocking out power grids, satellite electronics and almost everything in the country.
That’s a very real possibility the Pentagon has to factor into the equation in determining whether or not to attack Iran.

Feb. 11, 2013 at 12:16am@Ichyopterus The term ICBM is even outdated. The Navy is retiring the Enterprise aircraft carrier. Do you know top speed of the Enterprise, slowest of the attack Carriers? It was 55+mph. The carrier was designed to take the wave of a Nuke if the strike was more that a mile away, close up all ventilation, spray flight deck with sea water, etc. Do you think the carrier’s are defenseless? How about the support ships? You think they use pop guns? What is obsolete is fixed bases that can’t move 55mph and bring the war to an enemy.
What is really obsolete are stupid people who mouth off without facts.

Witness the devaluation just initiated in the Venezuelan currency. This will lead to a heady increase in the price of oil as currency devaluation spreads through South America and the rest of the world.
I have been dragging my feet for years, justifying not buying gold. It’s time to act, even if there is a short-term dip in the price as stock markets implode and over-leveraged speculators in the stock market sell gold to cover their losses. Too many central banks are broadcasting their defense: they’re hoarding gold! Waiting to buy on the dip may mean that you can’t find the physical gold to buy.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 2:22amThe tea party is not dead, were just waiting to see what happens next. We’ll never go away. You liberal twits, need to understand there are Americans out there who are willing to fight for freedom. While you liberals walk down the path thinking somebody can do a better job of running your life than you can, voluntarily giving up all your rights to people say they have better way, like killing the old people, blowing up buildings in the name of their so called way of peace through their so called attrition of numbers. They are the false gods, and prophets who couldn’t help anybody but themselves. That’s all that’s important to them, as I’ve said before if you liberals think Obama really cares, just wait, he’ll prove who he really is. He could care less about anybody but himself. Liberals are so blind. I guess it’s easy to give up something you’ve never had to fight for and taken for granted. Freedom is precious and should be protected at all cost. You liberals will never know until you lose it. Listen to all the college professors they all talk of Utopian life they just can’t make it work without sheep like you liberals. Oh did they also tell you that they’re on top of the ladder and your working for them, that’s their idea idea of Utopia. Stupid liberal sheep.

Feb. 10, 2013 at 6:59amI can remember in the recession of the early 70′s (because we fell on hard times) that food stamps were not free. You had to pay for them with money. you might have to pay $30.oo to receive $75.oo worth of stamps, so you had to apply yourself a little bit somewhere or you could not afford to buy them. AND they were STAMPS that the CLERK tore out of the booklet. Loose stamps were not accepted. There was a little STIGMA involved, which was a GOOD thing, it created just a little bit of SHAME because it showed you were not taking care of yourself well enough.
And another thing, they did not allow you to buy anything but food and things like chips and sodas were not condidered food. That also meant you could not buy SOAP, TOOTHPASTE, or TOILET PAPER with them.
All of these things were small incentives to get OFF the program as soon as you could. Just where do you suppose they went wrong?

Feb. 9, 2013 at 10:34pmSorry Clint, but you’re living in the past. Easily 30 or 40 years ago when people cared about the country instead of themselves. Before two generations of kids were taught Progressive Liberal ideas such as:
1 It’s never your fault, it’s always somebody else’s fault.
2 If somebody has more than you, they must have stolen it from you (justifying:L)
3 It’s Ok to hire a govt official to steal from someone else and give it to you (that’s called
the Tyranny of the Majority)
4 Debt doesn’t matter = Not a Spending Problem
I could go on, but to what use? This country will have to go through some real bad times before enough people understand that you can’t consume what you didn’t produce and that jealousy and envy destroys us all.
Or to put it another way, “How many conservatives does it take to fix a broken Liberal country?” “Only one, but the country has to really want to be fixed.”

Feb. 9, 2013 at 11:37pmI was born in ’83
I went to public school throughout my education.
I care about others move then I do myself…..which is why I don’t whine like a little girl when I pay taxes.
1. “It’s never your fault, it’s always somebody else’s fault.” I do admit when something is my fault, and I take responsibility for my actions. I don’t throw my faults on some “savior” and pretend I’m forgiven like the majority of Americans.
2. “If somebody has more than you, they must have stolen it from you (justifying:L)” No one says that, but it’s also foolish to ignore instances of when private corporations take advantage of the population for their own greed
3 “It’s Ok to hire a govt official to steal from someone else and give it to you” Government jobs employ people…which in turn leads them to buying things….which in turn leads to more production….which in turn leads to more jobs to meet demand. Unfortunately we created an economy based on consumption and anything that slows down consumption will slow down the economy.
4. Debt is a problem, unfortunately when the people who claim to care about the debt (the tea party) gets into power, they focus more on passing bills dealing on social viewpoints like abortion and marriage.

With all due respect, you are dumber than a box of rocks. You are the quintessential example of why our country is going to fail. If you believe that government jobs can replace the private sector then there is no hope for you. You’re view of success guarantee’s you will NEVER be successful unless YOU yourself lie and cheat. You should move to a country that is more in line with your views. I recommend North Korea or Venezuela. You are a sorry example of an American and a perfect example of our horrible education system. Here’s a lesson: Government is payed for by taxing (e.g. forcefully taking money) the populous. This money is then used to pay government employees. Because there is no bottom line, there is no incentive to provide high quality services. Because the money is not earned, politicians spend it frivolously. Here’s a news flash dumb a$$, the only time things get better, is when the dumb sh**s like you wake up and realize that the TEA PARTY folks have the solution. How someone can actually believe that government control of job creation is a good thing makes me fear for my country. Did I mention your a dumb a$$?
What we want (I comment as a TEA PARTY supporter) is a small and limited government that believes in TRUE capitalism and that allows a free people to decide the market. We are people who want the elimination of the crony capitalism happening today. We want dumb people like you to use common sense when looking at issues.

“I was born in ’83″
Well, that certainly explains a lot. You better hope you never try to mess with me when I’m minding my own business walking down the street. I’ll leave you for the roaches and rats to pick over young troll.

Where in the world did I say that I want government jobs to replace private sector jobs? That is the biggest straw man ever. In fact I said that government jobs give people money, that creates demand for private sector jobs because demand is increased. Nowhere did I say I am for mindless spending and I didn’t say that a government job should be created when one isn’t necessary. I agree that debt is the problem, did you even read my post? I said that the only problem is that when the tea party gets into power, they focus more on abortion and gay marriage then actual financial problems.
I am a fiscal conservative. I have no debt, have lots of savings and don’t spend beyond my means. Maybe if you spent less time calling me a “dumb@ss” you might have understood what I wrote.
@THE-MONK
What are you babbling about now?

Feb. 10, 2013 at 11:39am@Moderationisbest……You Christians, always so eager for bloodshed……sounds about right.
You certainly have a funny way of imposing your views. If more people followed the teachings of Jesus, I wouldn’t need to remind you how important it is to be a Christian. Notice I did not say the importance of freedom of religion. Know the difference and learn!

What are you talking about?
Tons of people on here claim to follow Jesus’s teachings.
All i see on here is people calling for bloodshed. Threatening that they’ll “leave me for the roaches and rats.”
All I see on here is a big circle jerk of tea party nuts that claim to worship Jesus, and then spend the next 10 minutes spewing hatred about our President, gay people and anybody who disagrees with them.
I think the problem with America is that there are too many people claiming to follow Jesus’s teachings.
I think the human race would be better off if we didn’t think a human sacrifice was necessary to keep us from an eternal torture that their God created. Then again, I think the human race would be better if we left all superstition and myth in the past.
