Time Text
All right, let me see if I can help you people understand this.
Every time Howard Dean opens his mouth, I start getting emails.
I get emails from friends and my friends say, This is it, Rush, he's gone.
Democrats can't afford to keep him in there.
He's gonna be gone by next week.
He's gonna be gone by next month.
He's gonna be gone by sometime in the fall.
And every time I get one of those emails, I reply, and I say, nope, you what you have to understand is he's saying exactly what a lot of Democrats would love to be able to say themselves, but don't dare.
He is articulating the Democratic Party message.
He is articulating what the Democrats think.
I'm gonna prove it to you today.
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
It is hump day.
It's uh hump day because this is the third day of the week for you, five days a week, 40-hour a week work people.
Uh once you get this day behind you, you're over the hump, three down, two to go.
Uh it's a short week for me here at the EIB network.
I'll be out on Friday.
So remind me that we'll do sort of an open line Thursday tomorrow.
Uh, because I'll probably forget.
I have so much going on.
Uh, but yeah, it'll open line Thursday on Friday, Open Line Friday on Thursday is what we'll do tomorrow.
Uh also uh a number of I I I shouldn't say it this way, but but it does it it seems like nothing can make you people happy.
It just we offer podcasts, we we we we set the trend, we become the industry leader in podcasts, and I'm still getting complaints from website subscribers.
What happened to the grooveyard?
So you give us podcasts, but you cancel the grooveyard.
What happened to that?
What's wrong with you?
How come you're cheating us?
How come you're screwing us?
What's wrong with my computer?
Let me explain this.
I should have explained this when we did this.
But for the same reason that we can't offer music on our podcasts on our MP3 downloads for you.
The same we've decided to pull the grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.
Now, those of you who are not subscribers of the website, this didn't affect you, but we have hundreds of thousands of them out there.
And uh the 30 minutes prior to the start of the program, uh, we just spun tunes.
My favorite tunes from uh the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.
And we have decided we just we we can't we can't take the risk of sending this stuff because we got so many emails to people recording it, and that's a problem for us because that's the same thing as including music in the podcasts.
That's that's the uh illegal distribution of somebody else's copyright owned material.
So we can't we can't do it.
What we're thinking of doing, though, we're always trying to be of service here.
We are going that we're thinking about putting together a list of all the tunes uh in the grooveyard playlist, uh and then and releasing those to you so that you can go buy those songs somewhere online if you wish.
Uh, but we just we just cannot continue to play the music uh pending a release or some kind of a deal uh with the with the music industry at large.
And I I I don't want to get into the dollars and cents, but you have no idea how prohibitive the cost is, and it's not something we would even want to pass along to you.
Okay, we'll do the grooveyard if you pay for it.
It's just it's not it's it's not it's not this is too much, and it's uh uh at some point you have to draw the line, and so that's what it is.
I'm I'm flattered so many of you liked it, uh, and I'm I wish it could continue because I liked it too.
It's my favorite tunes from uh from across the years, and they're all oldies because I can't recognize new music now.
It all sounds like the same note to me.
So that's why we called it the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.
All right, here's the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
So Howard Dean's out in San Francisco and he opens his mouth and he uh he continues to put his foot in it.
He goes on the Today Show today to defend it.
Uh and and you've got stories, well, there's some Democrats out there say, eh, I don't think he should be saying this kind of stuff.
You don't see anybody making a move to get rid of him, do you?
You don't.
In fact, you've got a lot of Democrats like Bill Richardson.
Well, you know, uh these are the kind of things uh it's it, you know, it's doing a good job as a chairman.
Uh sometimes he's going a little over the line.
Then you've got Joe Biden and a couple others, but you don't have a rash of Democrats out there acting embarrassed and angry, do you?
I'm telling you, folks, this is what they think.
I have been trying to tell you this for I don't know how long.
This is what they think of you.
Why why should this even be a surprise?
You know the enmity they have for evangelicals.
You know the paranoia that and the fear they have of religious people.
You know how they hate and don't understand the makeup of people in the red states, and you know that they've had these fears for years, many, many election cycles.
Now, what they've done, they've gone out and got a party chairman who can't raise as much money as even the punk did.
They're way down in their fundraising.
Uh, and yet he's still, he's still saying if you go to Democrat websites, I mean, this is this is what the the average Democrat voter thinks today.
If you listen to them, average Democrat people, these are the fringe that become the mainstream of this party.
I mean, it's it's no different than having Michael Moore as your party chairman, and they wouldn't object to that.
You know, so I I think the thing to understand is that this is this is who they think you are.
And all of you who think, well, this is he's he's this he's uh sowing his own fate here, stealing his own doom.
I I'm just telling you, I don't see a massive move on to get rid of Howard Dean, and in fact, I don't see anybody trying to rein him in from what he's saying.
I just hear a you know some mild disagreement, but I don't, I don't, and the mainstream press is not really being that hard on him.
Uh you might say that Matt Lauer was hard on him today, but all that was was an opportunity to repeat it.
And Dean dutifully repeated it.
Now I said a moment ago, I'm gonna prove to you my contention, this is what the Democrats think, and this is what they like being said.
And they know that their elected officials can't go say it, but the party chairman can say it and get the message out.
Remember what they're about.
You you have the these people are so into their own supremacy and superiority, which is funny because what's really bothering them is a giant loser inferiority complex.
And so they're really psychologically all confused and twisted into thousands of little pretzels.
And they don't really have a uh a positive outlook on life.
They don't get up and see anything decent and good.
Uh, and so they've got a party chairman out there that that uh cements the notion every time he opens his mouth, they don't even have an agenda.
All they've got's a bunch of hate, and all they've got's a bunch of rage and a bunch of anger.
And of course, if you hate somebody, if you're really filled with rage, if you're seething with it, you want them to know it.
And especially if the people you hate laugh at you, you get even angrier and you get even more forceful and useful.
Okay, you don't believe me.
I hate you.
Are you hearing me?
I hate you.
And we just keep laughing at him, and all it's doing is turning up the temperature on the little heating pad that he's sitting on.
If we acted outraged about it, if we said, I demand you shut up and all that, then he would uh think the mission was accomplished.
But laughing at him just stokes him even more.
This is the best thing could have happened.
I I told you all this is going to happen when they named him the chairman.
I remember it.
I remember specifically some of the Democrats that you know, we have a problem with him because the party chairman's not supposed to get into policy.
That's what our candidates do, and that's what our elected officials do.
But he's not supposed to get into policy because the policy of the party is actually set by the presidential nominee.
Whenever that happens, now they're wandering in the wilderness looking for that.
They think that they think it's Hillary.
Oh, speaking of which, I got an interesting note from a friend.
Apparently, the Fox News All-Stars, the round table of journalists on Brit Hume's show, a couple of nights, uh, got around to discussing Hillary's speech.
And my friend's observation is uh quite interesting.
He says he listened to them all.
He said they all were analyzing Hillary from the standpoint of who she's trying to be.
And it was clear that not one person watching Hillary Clinton ever said that's who she really is.
In fact, she can't be herself.
She's not her, she's a caricature.
She has to be something different each and every day.
There is no real Hillary.
Um, at least the analysts said that's not the right way to explain.
Let me find his note, because that's that's actually not the right way to put this.
I hope I kept the note here in the stack.
Let me take a break.
I'll come back, we'll get into some of the Howard Dean audio, and I'm gonna prove to you.
I'm gonna prove to you.
It'll be audio soundbite number five.
I'm gonna prove to you that he's saying exactly what the Democrats believe, and in fact, most of them Want him to keep saying we'll be back after this.
Greetings, my friends.
How are you?
Great to have you back here.
We're already having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh, the prestigious and distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
All right, well, let me let me deal with something else out there.
I I don't know where this is coming from.
I don't know who is responsible for having some of you people think this, but this idea that Howard Dean is being who he is and saying what he is to make Hillary look moderate is one of the silliest things I have ever heard.
Now, somebody's out there trying to be too smart by half because this theory uh is is not even good enough to be seductive.
You know, you know where this theory, you know, how come that theory like that will evolve?
It evolves from the paranoid uh thinking that the Democrats are still much more masterful than we are at strategizing, manipulating, and all of this.
And it's it's it's it's this this belief or this theory that Dean's being this wacko loony-toon to make Hillary look normal is a strategy that they have cooked up among themselves.
Uh it gives them way too much credit, and it's a bad idea anyway.
It's not working.
Hillary is not coming off as a moderate.
Hillary went nuts before a bunch of feminists and women in a fundraiser in New York, and it got reported.
And now even Democrats are laughing at some of the things that she said.
Well, I found my friend's note.
The comment that he made after watching the Fox All-Stars comment on Hillary is that not one of them said she should be who she is.
They were all saying she should do this or she should do that, she should go over there, she should affect this kind of personality, she should affect that kind of attitude.
Nobody's just be who you are, Hillary.
And she can't be who she really is, because it's not gonna work.
The whole none no liberal can be who they really are, folks.
Look at Dean.
Dean is who they are.
And look at the reaction everybody has to.
You think Dean's building a base among new voters for the Democrats?
Hell no.
Dean's be Dean is who the Democrats are.
The Democrats cannot be that way when running for office.
That's why everybody's scratching their heads over it.
And I and the psychology is they must be so just I I don't know that rage is the word for it anymore.
I don't know that hatred is the word for I think that I think that they are just beside themselves that they're not running the show.
They're beside themselves.
They keep losing elections.
They're beside them.
Now these judges are being confirmed.
They're having political fallout over that.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, she's all upset.
She's saying we'd much rather have a white guy with a silver spoon in his mouth as one of our judges than Janice Rogers Brown.
Just because she's a poor little colored girl from Alabama.
I mean, this is nuts.
These are the very people that that that whose whose reason to exist, they've always claimed is to support poor little colored girls from Alabama, to overcome this vicious white racism, and yet look at these vicious white racists, quote unquote, are elevating this poor little colored girl from Alabama to a position of power higher than Elder Holmes Norton would ever dream of achieving on her own.
And so they're livid with rage.
This is not the way things are supposed to.
The only thing they have left are the courts, folks, and that's why they're fighting so hard.
And now they even see that dwindling away with these three nominees being confirmed.
Uh there's even talk now.
The Democrats, after the week or two has gone by, they're even more flabbergasted at the moderate Democrats in that gang of seven for selling out than we were mad at the moderate Republicans for for selling out.
Now, also here, this is from the American Spectator Online edition today.
Even Democrats were laughing about Senator Hillary Clinton's speech in a fundraiser Monday for her re-election campaign on Tuesday.
Staffers for several U.S. Senators, including uh fellow New Yorker Charles Schumer, Senator Dick Durbin, and Senator Barbara Boxer, were emailing friends a particularly ironic quote from Clinton with messages that essentially said, if anybody should know, it's the wife of Bill Clinton.
The message, the quote from her that they were sending around was her attack on the Bush White House when she said, I can tell you this.
It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing.
It's very hard to stop people who've never been acquainted with the truth.
This is a this is the wife of a man who was convicted.
Well, yeah, he found in contempt of court for lying in a grand jury deposition.
And so even Democrat staffers of Schumer, Durbin, and Boxer are sending that quote around to their friends with the with the response being, if anybody should know, it's the wife of Bill Clinton.
I mean, even Democrats are laughing at her.
Folks.
Even Democrats are laughing.
She's saying this about Bush and the Republicans, the wife of Bill Clinton is saying this.
The Democrats are laughing about it.
And I wouldn't assume that every Democrat wants Hillary to get the nomination.
And I don't mean just John Kerry or some of these other guys who have.
I wouldn't assume every Democrat wants her to get the nomination.
It's such a lock in people's minds that some of them are afraid to speak up.
But I just I refuse to believe all this conventional wisdom that the Democrats are united 100% behind Hillary Clinton.
And I know they're not if they're running around making fun of her in their private emails.
But this idea that Hillary is uh or that Dean's doing what he's doing to give Hillary cover to be a moderate, uh I don't want to be insulting.
But but uh whoever has come up with this is uh is an amateur, is an amateur political analyst.
This party is not in that much control.
This party does not have itself that together.
And even if it were that together, it is a stupid way to mean look at look at what it says.
It says Hillary's not a moderate.
We have to have some guy act like a raving lunatic every day to establish that our that our presumptive nominee is reasonable.
It's idiotic.
And and and when you get right down to it, in the midst of it, there's no reality whatsoever.
Everything's a game, everything's a spin.
How can we fool them today?
Now that might have worked in the days of the media monopoly, but it isn't gonna work any longer.
Here's Howard Dean's at the uh San Francisco Chronicle interview in San Francisco, and this uh I guess this was last night.
The Republicans are not very friendly to different types of people.
They're pretty mildly party, they pretty much all behave the same, they all look the same.
Uh and they all, you know, it's pretty much white Christian party.
Uh and the Democrats are got everybody you can think of.
Democrats adopt everybody you can think of and are for a white Christian party.
You know, a greater percentage of minorities, including blacks, voted for George W. Bush than live in the state, Howard Dean governed.
Forty percent of Hispanics voted for George W. Bush.
In fact, Dean was on the Today Show with Mount O'Hour, and Mount O'Hauer said, What did what did you mean by that comment?
I mean, 62 million people voted for President Bush in the last election.
Is that your message to those people a year away from the midterm elections?
Let me read you something very quickly here.
Um, by a series of recent initiatives, Republicans have transformed our party in the political wing of the Christian conservatives.
That was written by uh former Senator uh John Danforth, one of the most respected people in Episcopalian minister.
I think it is true that the Republicans are in fact a largely white Christian party.
There's nothing the matter with that.
I'm a white Christian myself, but they don't include uh other folks.
And this is a this is a very diverse country.
In fact, they've gone out of their way to use other kinds of people as scapegoats in order to win elections.
So he's gonna go out and you'd have to quote a moderate Republican, John Danforth, uh, who uh may as well you know get together with Christine Todd Whitman.
I don't think neither of them understand where the party is these days, what the base is and the values that hold the base of the Republican Party together.
But it is a pejorative.
You have to understand it as Dean uses it, white Christian party is a priority.
Let me tell you something.
The Democrats are more fearful, and I've told you this too, they're more fearful of Christians than they are of Al-Qaeda.
The Democrats are more fearful of Democrats than they are of Islamist terrorists living in this country.
They are more fearful of Christians than they are of any enemy of the United States of America.
They probably have more fear of Christians than they do nuclear weapons being launched by North Korea.
And there's a reason for it.
There is a substantive reason for it.
These people are secularists.
The vast majority of the left, not all, but the vast majority of the left and the vast majority of Democrats are secularists, secularists.
They want no guardrails in life.
They to them, Government is God.
Government is God.
The Constitution that's being written by liberal judges is their Bible.
And that constitution is something that is results oriented and always grows the government and always institutionalizes their beliefs.
And Christianity and related Judeo-Christian religions are nothing more than a threat.
They are they are a very solid competitor to the to the lack of values.
I mean, where do you what do you think moderates are?
Moderates are people that don't have values and core.
if they were, they wouldn't be moderates.
Liberals have their own values, but they are in direct opposition to many of the values that were established, in fact, at the founding of the country.
So they have a tremendous amount of fear, and it if you don't understand it now, it'd be wise to accept it.
Yes, my friends, greetings and welcome back.
We are having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
It's the excellence in broadcasting network.
Program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Now look at this.
On the one hand, while the Democrats are dumping all over Janice Rogers Brown, an African American nominated by Republican president, Howard Dean's running around saying the GOP is a white Christian party.
And let's let's not forget this.
The Democratic Party stopped Carl McCall in his race to be governor of New York, longtime black official.
They stopped him from being governor.
They did not fund his campaign as promised.
They stopped the late Maynard Jackson, former Atlanta mayor from being the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
They stopped Miguel Estrada from serving on a federal appeals court.
They tried to stop Clarence Thomas from getting to the Supreme Court.
They tried to stop Janice Rogers Brown, and they're out there saying that they are the party of diversity.
And yet I have just mentioned to you two blacks in their own party they stepped on and squashed, and other blacks and an Hispanic in the Republican Party they're trying to step on and squash.
If you look at the leadership of the Democratic Party, it's pretty lily white to me.
And I often can we'll have to go look this up, but I can cite for you all the complaints during the Kerry campaign of 2004 from civil rights activists.
There weren't enough black people in his campaign at the high level.
Remember this?
And yet here's Howard Dean running around saying that the Republicans are a white Christian party.
It's it's absurd.
But this is what the Democrats believe.
And this is what they want to hear.
So nobody's gonna make a move to get rid of Howard Dean.
Back to Matt Lauer and the interview today on the Today Show.
Lower said, you said they don't include uh some other kinds of people.
But in the 2004 presidential race, President Bush got 40% of the Hispanic vote.
Now that was generally thought of as a stronghold for Democrats.
So does that play into this idea of a white Christian party?
Well, unfortunately, by and large, it is, and they have the agenda of the conservative Christians.
Look, this what's really going on here, Matt, is they take these things that I have said, which is true.
I mean, I don't think it's pretty hard to deny that predominantly that's what the party, the Republican Party looks like.
It is a uh a party controlled by the conservative Christian agenda, and they take that stuff.
They want to divert attention.
They're trying to make me the issue.
I Howard, you're making yourself the issue.
I mean, that that that's the point.
We're all laughing about this.
I don't know any Republicans upset about it.
Republicans I know are happy.
Keep talking, Howard.
This is just this is great.
I mean, if this if this is uh if this is going to meet be uh set the standard for Democratic Party official political discourse, keep it coming.
So Lauer says to says to Dean, well, let me just read you some comments over the last six months that you've made.
January 29th, you said, quote, I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for.
February 11th, speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus, you said, quote, you think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room only if they had a whole tell staff in here.
And on April 14th, you said Republicans are mean, they're not nice people.
One of your jobs, aside from fundraising, is to strategize for the Democratic Party.
So what's the strategy in these comments?
Well, they are outside the mainstream.
Uh They have not included a lot of people in this party who are in their party who are incredibly important to America.
And in fact, they have used words like quota to try to separate black from white Americans.
They did scapegoat gay Americans by putting an anti-gay amendment on a in 11 states where gay marriage was already against the law.
And they are attacking immigrants.
Two Republican congressmen, Jim Sensenbrenner, and Tom Tancredo have incredible anti-immigrant legislation.
This is not the way America needs to be.
We need to be all in this together.
You may notice that I'm actually reaching out to evangelical Christians because I think that there are evangelical Christians who believe that there's more than two issues that matter when we're talking about a strong agenda.
All right, okay.
This is this is even better.
Now he's reaching out to uh evangelical Christians.
This is, I guess, a reach out program.
Well, that's new.
I hadn't heard of that.
So this is what his reach out program is like.
As to Sensenbrenner and Tancredo, they're not against immigration.
It's illegal immigration, Dr. Dean, that they are talking about, and you know it.
And you know, and I both parties are on the verge of blowing this.
This is this is something that got people of the country riled up to the point that uh you know it's it's whatever party champions this is going to get a leg up.
And I'm just I'm just and the Democrats, the Republicans uh and Democrats both seem reluctant to do it.
The Democrats are looking at future voters in uh in illegal immigration.
Uh the Republicans uh at the at some level of their party don't want to upset their contributors who uh who hire uh illegal immigrant labor.
Uh so it's uh you know the party interests here diverge, but but they end up uh basically not doing anything about a program in a in a in a in a situation that just has an increasing number of millions of Americans upset and outraged that nothing is being done about it.
Now here's the bite.
I told you about at the beginning of the program that pretty much establishes my point that Howard Dean's saying what the Democrats want him to say.
And Howard Dean's pretty much saying what they think, and they don't really have a problem with it.
Victor Camber, who is also one of the most outraged and angriest Democrat strategists out there.
Camber was big back in the 90s uh during the Clinton era when the Clintons were in the White House, Camber has a or had, I don't know, political consultancy.
I think uh I think I think Ann Lewis used to work in his office, and I'm not sure about that.
But Camber was big, and he may still be big, I don't know.
But he was on with Bill Hemmer today, CNN's American morning.
And Hammer said, Joe Biden and some others are saying that they're kind of like walking carefully around these comments of Howard Dean's.
Do you do the same?
The issue is was he wrong in what he said, or are we just uncomfortable that he said it?
I'm not sure he was wrong in what he said.
It's just maybe we'd like not to have those things said somewhere.
So you agree with his characterization then of the Republican Party?
Well, I think it is a white Christian party, isn't it?
I mean, let's be honest.
I I don't know that they have uh many African Americans, many Hispanics, many uh Jewish, many uh Muslim.
I mean it's a white Christian party.
So there's one of your leading, I mean, this guy in Washington, Democrats go by uh every syllable he says.
He's a power broker, he's one of these guys.
I don't know if he still is, but at one time he was at the top list of consultants you would hire to help you run a campaign to run a media campaign.
Vic Camber.
He's uh he's uh and he's always been an angry guy.
He's always been what Howard Dean is.
And if he's pretty much echoing here what Dean said, uh you don't you don't hear anybody suggesting Dean needs to go.
Here's uh Alan in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Alan, uh you're up first today.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Yeah, hi, Rush.
I'm a liberal Democrat, and for once out of a million times, I'm gonna totally agree with you that most of us feel exactly the way Howard Dean feels, you are exactly right.
You're explaining to your audience what a real liberal democrat is, and that's the way we feel.
So anybody who's afraid to get on the radio or television and explain that to you in the audience, is just trying to fool you.
It has nothing to do with making Hillary look good.
This is the way 90% of what Dean said without the anger, without the hatred that you talk about.
This is the way we feel about the policies of the Republican Party, whether it's from the far-right Christian group, whether it's trying To do something about church and state, abortion, rich people not wanting to share any of the wealth.
You are a hundred percent right.
This is the way the liberal base feels, and when you said Michael Moore could even be the spokesman or the chairman, again you are a hundred percent right because he and Dean and myself are explaining to you and your audience what the Democrats really inside believe.
So I give you credit for being more honest and more street smart than people uh like O'Reilly and Hannity and others who really don't understand what's going on here.
This is the way we feel, and this is the way we view the policies, not the people, not personal attacks, the policies of this Republican party.
What is it that you fear uh uh with with all of the Rush?
You use the word fear.
It's not so much fear as major, major disagreements on almost every single one of 20 issues, from religion to the court to abortion to the environment to health care to the unequal distribution of wealth.
It is a way of living.
So don't get hung up with little personalities or little words like hatred and fear.
We don't fear religion.
We don't make religion anywhere near a part of our life the way the majority, not all, but the majority of Republicans do.
We don't want religion interfering, and you're right again with a basically secular environment and secular uh citizenry because we believe that the secular values lead to more contentment, peace of mind, and happiness than 90% of the wealth in this league.
You know, this is I I appreciate your saying that, but no, honestly, Alan, when I look around and and I I I I see a bunch of secularists, I don't see people who are happy.
And I and I don't I don't see people who are content.
And I don't see them as a majority, uh, don't see them as a majority either.
I I think they're uh people that that uh would identify themselves as secularists are on the losing end of elections, and they're they're certainly not a majority of people uh in the country.
And what puzzles me is is I mean, if you if you want to be the majority someday, then you have to, just like we conservatives way back when when we were you know being trampled on as a minority 40, 50 years ago, 20 years ago, other than Reagan, we had to figure out a way to become the majority, not just assume we were and impose ourselves on everybody.
So we started doing grassworks, uh grassroots things to basically win elections, educating people and uh sending those people to ballot box and winning elections, and that's what's happened.
What puzzles me what puzzles me about secularists, though, I don't see that going on.
You you have to realize you're in the minority now if you're ever to come back as the majority.
But you I think you just said that you think that most Americans are secularist, uh, and they have a a view that's diametrically opposed to the quote unquote white Christian view.
And I don't think that's true.
I think I think secularism is a is a minority, particularly i i in the political realm.
Uh you may have a lot of a religious people, apolitical people don't care and follow politics at all, who may not also be religious.
But of those that are involved in the political uh uh discussion and uh of those who vote, those are uh you know determined to have an impact here.
I think the vast majority of them are religious people, whatever, be it Jewish, uh be it Christian, whatever, but I think the the minority is is who the secularists are, and that's what bothers them.
When you use the words majority and minority, it is so misleading, not only from the seven-year-ago or six-year presidential election decided by a court, but the people in this country in the blue states and most representatives in Congress represent more total population than twenty or thirty of the red states combined.
When you use words, I'm going to tell you again because your audience picks up on them, and that's what you do.
When you use words like majority, minority, hatred, wacko, when you use the term environmental wacko, your audience hasn't sat down for a two or three hour discussion on the pros and cons of liberal views on the environment versus conservative views.
Oh, by the way.
So the words that you have are there for a purpose.
They have.
I I present every liberal argument there is on the environment.
That's why I don't need guests.
I I I tell people what the I mean, that's one of the things I do.
I don't just espouse my conservatism here.
I do it after I explain what liberals believe.
As you've just acknowledged, I, on this case, understand it all, you know, from front to back.
Look, I appreciate the call.
I'm a little long here because of the uh constraints of time, and I've got to run.
But Alan, thanks much for your time.
We'll take a brief break and be back after this.
Ha!
Great to have you with us on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
So environmentalists are not wackos.
Try this.
Santa Rosa, California authorities are on the lookout for pistol packing activists who apparently planted endangered wildflowers in order to block a housing development.
The State Department of Fish and Game has determined that Sebastopol metal foam discovered in the Laguna Vista subdivision in Sebastopol was deliberately transplanted from another location.
Very unusual situation, said the department botanist.
I've never known a rare plant to be introduced to a site to thwart development before.
I'll bet you this isn't the first time.
I'll bet you it's not the first time a snail darter or a kangaroo rat or some other impedance.
Impediment to development and capitalism has been planted somewhere to stop private property owners from doing what they want with their property.
Definitely are environmentalist wackos.
By the other question.
In the last campaign, who had more photo ops in churches?
John Kerry or George W. Bush.
Who had more photo ops in churches, Bill and Hillary Clinton or George W. Bush.
Who is it that attempts to get away with appearing religious, but then runs around and rips religion a new one each opportunity they get.
I mean, you the the the you people in the Democratic Party are just hypocrites about this.
You don't see yourselves the way other people do.
And until you learn to see yourselves the way we see you, the way everybody else sees you, you're not going to understand how you come across to people.
And you're never going to understand why you keep losing elections.
This is uh uh from the uh I guess I think this is the Boston Globe's website.
Americans are far more likely to consider religion central to their lives and to support clergy having a say in public policy than people in nine countries that are close allies of the U.S., according to an A.P. Ipsos poll.
Americans are far more likely to consider religion central to their lives and to support clergy having a say in public policy than people in nine other countries that are close allies of ours.
Sixty-one percent.
Say politics uh uh and religion should mix.
Uh so the the well, not that they should mix, but that Americans are far more likely to consider religion central to their lives.
Now that the secularists can sit out there and think that they're in the majority on this because of this red state blue state phenomenon, but look at the election returns.
I mean, it th certain things here just cannot be spun.
Uh and if you're gonna lie to yourselves, and if you're gonna present situations to yourself where you where you uh mistakenly tell yourself you're the majority, where you mistakenly tell yourself most Americans agree with you, you're never going to get to the root cause of what's plaguing you as a party and then fix it.
There was a story yesterday that the Democrats are out looking for a guru, and not a spokesman guru, not like a Lackoff guy.
They're actually out there looking for somebody you can tell them if they would listen to this show.
I know you people have been scared to death for the last six years, and if Democrats would listen to me talk about what they need to do, they could get it fixed.
And it's probably true.
But what I suggest to them are things they can't do, which is why I have no fear they're going to listen to me.
They will never be able to implement my suggestions.
Just like I could fix all these liberal TV news networks, too.
I can bring their audience back, but they will never listen to my suggestions.
Well, they might listen to it, but they would never dare implement them because they go against the grain of their core and who they are.
But I could fix them.
Give me a network.
I can fix it.
I can tell them what to do to gain prominence back.
Back after this, don't go away.
You know what's funny is all these Democrats always pretend that they don't discriminate against people of faith.
Oh no, no, they really object when you accuse them of that, and yet they keep trotting out Howard Dean to repeatedly demean and defame uh Christian people.
There's no it there's no doubt that's what Dean was attempting to do to satisfy the people on the left who want to hear that kind of stuff.
Much more on this after the break.
