Time Text
Okay, back we are, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for being with us today.
This is the award-winning Rush Limbaugh program, and it is the uh one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
This is the program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
And that is no mean feat.
Looking forward to uh talking to you 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
By the way, folks, one one one thing we we had a call recently, last call in the previous hour from uh a woman who was decrying the fact that Muslim leaders around the world, responsible ones never stand up and condemn the acts of these wacko terrorists.
And uh one and that's true, but I think one of the reasons for this is there's a lot of fear uh in in in some of these mainstream Muslim societies.
If they stand up and condemn it, they're gonna be targeted.
Uh I mean I've got a story in the stack today uh that Syria has its own internal terrorist problem.
Al-Qaeda has a $500 million budget to operate inside Saudi Arabia.
You know, and and and why are they attacking Syria?
Because Syria appears to be caving.
Syria, you know, it got out of Lebanon, and uh that means they abandoned Hamas.
Uh and uh the Lebanese uh, you know, they're on they're on the road there to having uh elections.
Now, this is what happens in a war.
Too many people, I think, have the impression that something good happens and that ends it.
There's always going to be an opposite reaction.
The people you're at war with are not going to go down easily.
Oh, oh, you want us out of Lebanon?
Okay, we'll go.
Just like the Democrats.
Oh, you don't want us running the Senate?
Fine.
Look at them.
Uh you know, the the uh your opponents, I mean, never kicking a quit.
Uh you have to keep beating them.
That's why wars go on and on and on and on and on.
It's why you need stick tuitiveness.
But in terms of the uh mainstream Muslims, I mean, they're just as scared as anybody else is if they stand up and condemn this, because they're gonna be targets themselves.
They will be considered infidels just as you and I are if uh if they don't back this up.
Uh or at least if they don't, if they don't uh they don't stay silent.
Now, Mr. Snurdley just sent me a note, and it's interesting, it's true, by this time uh after 9-11.
9-11 happened here really roughly 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the morning, and the same time in Great Britain.
Uh they're five hours ahead of us.
Uh, but by this time on 9-11, we had we knew who all the terrorists were on those airplanes.
I was stunned.
I uh uh we we knew who they were before they got on the airplanes, we just weren't able to stop it.
And that opens a whole can of worms I don't even want to go back into again, but how we've emaciated the CIA.
Uh save it for another day.
The the fact is that we haven't seen any identity of terrorists responsible for this in uh in Great Britain.
Uh so it's not known who these guys are.
Uh, or at least if it is, their pictures have not been uh broadcast yet and made public.
It just it's it's not a big deal.
It's just by this time on September 11th of 2001.
We had uh it was Mohammed Otto up there, we knew what airplanes they were on, and we knew what flight schools they'd gone to, and we knew how they had paid for their airline tickets, and they knew what commuter flights uh we knew what commuter flights they had taken to get to Logan uh airport to get on those things and uh and to uh uh the Washington airport.
So we knew a lot about these people before they uh uh made the attack.
It was you know that goes back to the old connect the dots uh business.
Now, here's a story that I just want to put things in perspective today.
This this is a story uh that was uh on the website last night for The Guardian, a uh UK liberal paper.
And it was posted last night, our time to run in today's paper uh in uh in uh the UK.
And here's the headline.
UN shows how the West, especially Britain and America, have put military spending way ahead of help for Africa.
Richtern countries spend up to 25 times as much on defense as they do on overseas aid and have increased their assistance to the poorest African countries by just uh uh three dollars ahead since 1990, according to the United Nations.
In the United States, one percent in every dollar goes on aid compared to the 25% of the budget that is spent by the Pentagon.
Now, isn't it interesting that see this was supposed to time out and coordinate with the uh G eight agenda, which, as you know, is uh is saving Africa.
And speaking of saving Africa.
I saw the most amazing thing last night.
Did I print this out?
I know I printed this out, and I want it's it may be too long to read this thing to you.
Uh well, I've got it in some stack here, but it is an African leader, and his whole and it was an interview with Der Spiegel, the German magazine designed to, you know, coordinate with G8.
And this guy, this African leader, stop the aid.
You're killing us.
You're turning us into a welfare country.
You're depriving our people of the ability to work for themselves.
You're creating a bunch of laziness over here.
He gave great examples.
He says, Stop sending us all your goodwill clothes.
We don't want them.
You're putting our tailors and clothes manufacturers out of business.
I mean, it's is it's and every question that Der Spiegel asked was, but but don't you want more?
No, we don't want more aid.
It's an ab, it's an abomination.
You have killed this continent with all of your aid.
Look at where it ends up.
Is that it it ends up in the hands of people that have made slaves out of most of the people that live in this continent.
And on and on and on.
I didn't I didn't find it here in the stack that uh I thought it was in, so I will uh I'll do my best to dig it up.
Maybe not today, uh, because other things we're discussing.
But it's it's just it's just fascinating that now with this event having taken place to go back and look what was on everybody's agenda beforehand, and here comes this piece.
We're spending too much in defense, and we're wasting all that money, and we're not spending enough on Africa.
And of course, that's a flat out lie anyway.
The U.S. alone, since 1960, 43 years, uh almost six hundred billion dollars alone to Africa.
That's not insignificant.
Uh and and the the rest of the world combined the amount of money they've sent in there uh from the UN and all these other World Bank operations and IMF and so forth, it's the the amount of money in there, probably close to a trillion dollars in the last 40 years, and look what's resulted from it.
I think just like we've learned in this country, the war on poverty, hey, when are we gonna, you know, define an exit strategy for that?
We've been fighting that for 40 years.
We still have the same statistics of poverty in this country.
And it wasn't until welfare reform came along that required work and so forth that the poverty rolls actually started going down in this country.
So, one thing that these uh terrorists in London today have done is taken this Africa business off the uh front page and off of the uh lead agenda item at the G eight.
Now, the G eight, Tony Blair said that's not gonna happen.
It's his agenda, and he wants to try to keep it focused, but he had to leave today to go to London.
He said he's gonna fly back to um Glen Eagles up in Scotland after he had spent some time in London to make sure his agenda remains on track, which is global warming, climate change, and and uh and and Africa and so forth.
And I think an event like this just sort of puts in perspective uh uh all of these things that are uh prioritized in ways that are uh really uh incongruent, uh way way out of whack.
At any rate, that's that.
We uh got your phone calls.
I want you to hear what President Bush said.
We've got the uh audio sound bites from him uh and some of the media, uh not much, but some.
I've got Marvin Calb and I've got Brian Ross of ABC, and of course, we've got Mrs. uh or Mr. Christiana Manpoor, uh Jamie Rubin, who was uh he was on Fox and Friends talking about all this.
Interesting to hear what the press is saying about it.
Sit tight, all that, plus your uh phone calls coming up when we come back.
And back we are, 800-282-2882 into Tampa.
Hello, David, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Russ Megadetto's from Tampa.
Thank you, sir.
Just wanted to uh thank you for your wisdom and perspective every day, but especially on days like today.
I appreciate you saying it.
Thank you.
Much needed.
My question was just was um of course the inevitable is gonna happen.
Uh you're gonna have Kennedy and uh Kerry and Pelosi all out there saying, well, this and even some modern Republicans probably saying that we now need a timetable to withdraw from Iraq.
And um my question was is this is this not a golden opportunity for the Republicans and Bush also to stand up and and you know slam dunk that argument just just to totally negate it.
Yeah, I think it is, and I think it's uh it'll be interesting to see how long it takes Democrats to stand up and say this.
Uh the the real test, if they really believed it, they would say it today.
If they really thought that we needed to get out of Iraq and stop this, they would say, do it today.
They would stand up and they would offer their opinions today.
But they're gonna wait out of some uh uh sensitivity to the suffering and the uh families uh of the wounded and dead in uh in London and so forth.
And uh well, they might wait.
Yeah, they'll probably wait for some polls.
They're probably taking the polls right now.
They're probably out there asking, okay, how should we as Democrats react?
They've probably got polls, private polling going on in the country today, uh, asking the American people uh what do you want Democrats to say and how do you want them to react to this?
So once they get all that data in.
But see, that's the difference.
If they really believed that this all happened because we're in Iraq, stand up and say it today.
Well, really, if I believed it, I would.
I don't know why why are you laughing sturdy?
I I mean it would it would not be political suicide if they really believed it.
If the they they they would they that's this is my whole point.
They don't do what they really believe.
They're gonna come out in two or three days, and they're gonna try to make a political case by saying it two or three days from now, once the raw emotion of this day has subsided, and in that you have a calculation, and they're calculating timing and a number of other things,
but it's going to be nothing more than a continuation of their whole political agenda, which is to divide and to force a partisan wedge between the people of this country and to try to end up blaming this on George W. Bush uh and the war in Iraq.
Now, they're probably in, you know, some kook circles, it's already being said, but I haven't seen any elected Democrats out there saying it today.
But uh look at if uh I don't have any problems saying what I really believe about this today, have I?
They haven't said anything.
Well, then why should they?
Why should they have any problems?
What they really believe, let's hear it from them.
If they really think Iraq is responsible, come on, this is the day to say it.
This is the day when the world will hear them say it.
But no, they're not dare they don't dare do it today because they know they know it isn't true, and they know they can't make anybody believe it today.
So I I think I think it just illustrates the bankruptcy of their whole core, that there is none.
That all there is is a calculating polling unit that has one objective, and that is their own reacquisition of power, and it's all rooted in their fear that they're losing it.
So we'll wait and see.
But it it uh i it I mean, Pelosi did say it yesterday in a speech, this war caused terrorism.
If I were Pelosi, and she was speaking to her constituents, uh Boxer said it, Senator Boxer, and she said it to Commonwealth Club out in San Francisco.
I think that was the group at some hotel.
And she said in a speech yesterday that Iraq, the Iraq war caused and is causing terrorism.
Well, if she and I'm sure she got a standing O from her Bay Area constituents, if she really believes that, today's the day to come out and see say, I told you yesterday.
I'm prescient.
I told you yesterday.
I told a speech yesterday, said a speech yesterday, and I said that this war is causing things like this, and look at what happened today.
But she won't do it.
For whatever reasons.
But among them is she didn't have the courage to do it.
Oh, waitily emotions died down, and then uh and then and and I'm sure they're having their strategy sessions now, the talking points are being produced.
Uh so everybody is on the same page.
You gotta get those to the media too, uh, so that they know what to ask uh when Ted Kennedy and so forth shows up.
It'll all happen by the Sunday shows.
By the Sunday shows, mark my words.
Here's Rick in uh in St. Francis, Wisconsin.
Hello, Rick, nice to have you on the program.
Oh, Dentos Rush, it's an honor to speak to you, sir.
Thank you.
Um, you know, my first thought when I heard about this, uh, with all the mayhem going on and whatever, was that uh it happened in London.
I was wondering how they did this.
And then I started thinking about our borders.
And you mentioned saying that they picked London because it's harder to get into our borders, but I know that you said they could still get here.
Don't you think that it's time for Congress and the President to rethink about our borders, how easy it is to get across the bigger.
Oh, yeah.
I this this that's all encompassed in the immigration discussion, and a lot of people uh uh don't understand the lack of action on attention to the borders from a whole different view, a whole different uh number of standpoints or contexts.
For example, uh just the notion that illegal immigration is illegal.
Nobody seems to care to enforce that law.
Then you've got the open border connection to terrorists easily getting in.
Uh uh nobody seems that concerned about although there was a an interruption, somebody it's two Al-Qaeda guys or were stopped at the uh I think California border the other day, or somehow associated to Al Qaeda.
Uh but the the the the problem in Great Britain uh is an immigration problem.
You know, this is not often said.
I'll say it today.
Hell, that's so I mean that's what I do.
I will say it today.
One of the problems that all of these Western European countries have is that they're wide open and the and the the militant Islamic uh these Islamo fascists have a have a strategy, and it's to get as many people in these countries as they can as residents.
I mean, it's you you'd be stunned.
I mean it the the Brits, you know, they're they they're beginning to talk about it.
There's some people concerned about it.
It was part of their recent campaign over there.
Uh there are a lot of people very, very concerned about it.
There they there are there are lifelong Brits who are thinking they're losing their culture, they're losing their identity to uh to uh all of the immigration that's coming in.
And it's happening in France.
What do you what do you think the reason that France is so is so afraid, uh other than their natural tendency to to surrender and and and to pretend that you know they're not really part of the world when bad things are happening.
Uh it's it's just as bad in France.
I mean, it really is.
You can sit there and laugh snurdly, but it is it is it is a serious problem, and it is led to um uh the the Chirac uh not having the guts to lash out because so many of the people that live in his country are.
Twenty-five percent of France is uh is Muslim now, and I don't know what percentage of that would be qualified as middle of Islam.
Nobody knows.
That's that's the uh that's the thing.
Twenty-five percent of France and and uh this is it's all it's all part of uh strategy, folks.
So it's uh I don't know, it it it's it it in many ways you can look at at what is happening uh in various parts of Europe and see it happening here, see the beginnings of it to happen here.
But we've got a little roadmap to follow.
They're a little bit ahead of track there, and it gives us an opportunity to uh prevent it here uh as it is happening there, but it's gonna take leadership.
And a lot of people are scratching their heads and saying, where is it?
Meaning the uh leadership.
Lou in Houston, hello, sir.
Next up you are on the EIB network.
Well, I'm a ma'am and not a sir, first of all.
Oh, you I'm sorry you're right.
I misread the line, Lou.
Sorry about that.
But uh I I I had to call in and tell you that I am angry also, and I have been seething for a long time.
I have a son in in in the military, he's in the army.
He's been to Iraq twice.
Those young men that went down in that helicopter in Afghanistan last week was from from his unit.
And it's been his duty to deal with the families, get the personal effects.
He has to meet with the families and help them deal with this.
Uh which is all of that is is terrible for a young man to have to go through.
But he gets it, and I get it.
Susan Sarandon made the remark sometime about she hates war, whether it's us against them or them against us.
Well, my son gets it.
He hates war.
I hate war.
Probably most of the of the young men and women that he deals with hate war.
But the terrorists don't hate war.
That's the point.
They love it.
And if it weren't for young men like My son who hate war weren't for people who hate war standing up against people who love war.
Those people who blew up those trains this morning and and and flew planes into our buildings and I have to stop here, Lou, because of time, but you you've hit the nail on the head.
I'm going to expand on this a little bit when we come right back.
Sit tight, folks.
Here's an interesting story for you.
Not saying there's any connection.
It's just an interesting story.
It's from January 27th of this year.
Uh January 27, 2005, and it ran on the BBC website.
The headline, Freed Guantanamo 4, a threat.
The four were held at Guantanamo Bay for nearly three years.
The four men who have been released by UK police a day after returning from Club Gitmo still pose a security risk, U.S. defense officials have said.
Martin Mubunga, Faraz Abbasy, Richard Belmar, and Mozambeg were reunited with their families on Wednesday night.
The men from Birmingham and London were freed without charge, but the U.S. says the UK has agreed to monitor them.
As Matt Begg, the father of Mozambeg, said that his son appeared to be in reasonably good condition when they met.
Washington had claimed that all four were enemy combatants who trained at camps run by Al-Qaeda.
They were released after UK police concluded there was not enough evidence to charge them with any offense.
Home Secretary Charles Clake, or Clark, said that Britain had uh listened to U.S. concerns.
The UK had negotiated a security package with the U.S., and every practical step was being taken by the relevant authorities to maintain national security within the law.
But under the new proposals for dealing with terrorism suspects, which he announced on Wednesday, the four men could have been placed under house arrest.
I know that Mozam's a nice gentleman.
He's always ready to help uh when he gets a chance, said Asmat Begg, father of Mozambeg.
Uh my son is innocent.
So anyway, bottom line.
We held four guys at Gitmo.
The Brits said you don't have enough to charge them, let them loose.
We let them loose.
These guys are still dangerous.
They still pose a security risk.
UK said, all right, we'll monitor them.
And they kept them locked up for a day.
I'm not making any connection.
I'm just going back here and finding uh interesting stories that look uh maybe a little different.
As you uh can use hindsight in this case, take this event today and go back uh and look at recent news about the G8 or stories such as this.
I want, as I said, for you to hear Tony Blair and President Bush.
Let's go to top of the uh order here for the audio sound bites.
This is this morning at Glen Eagles, Scotland.
Tony Blair, surrounded by uh seven other world leaders, said this.
We condemn utterly these barbaric attacks.
We send our profound condolences to the victims and their families.
All of our countries have suffered from the impact of terrorism.
Those responsible have no respect for human life.
We are united in our resolve to confront and defeat this terrorism that is not an attack on one nation, but on all nations and on civilized people everywhere.
We will not allow violence to change our societies or our values, nor will we allow it to stop the work of this summit.
We will continue our deliberations in the interests of a better world.
Blair went on to say about that.
Here at the summit, the world's leaders are striving to combat world poverty and save and improve human life.
The perpetrators of today's attacks are intent on destroying human life.
The terrorists will not succeed.
Today's bombings will not weaken in any way our resolve to uphold the most deeply held principles of our societies, and to defeat those who would impose their fanaticism and extremism on all of us.
One of the things I've been reading uh during the program today, uh commercial breaks, newsbreaks, top of the army, reading various websites, and uh today especially I decided to go to some of these left-wing websites.
And one of the things I'm here let me let me put it to you in the form of a question.
Do you think that what happened on 9-11 and what happened today in uh London are acts of war or are they just acts of murder?
Are they just criminal acts or they're just acts of war?
Because uh the sites I've gone to today and read these are not war, this is not representative war, these are just acts of murder, and they need to be dealt with criminally uh with prosecutions and so forth.
But this is not a war.
Uh and see, that's that's one of the problems in my estimation is that so many people don't really get this.
Even even on a day like this, they don't even get it.
Uh or do get it and uh don't want to admit it.
Let's move on to uh uh Soundbite 5 and 6, uh Mr. Aldemont.
This is George George Bush, uh who is uh uh took his turn to speak, and this is what he had to say.
Spent some time recently with the Prime Minister uh Tony Blair.
I had an opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences to the people of London, people who lost lives.
I appreciate uh Prime Minister Blair's steadfast determination, restraint.
He's on his way now to London, here from the GA to speak directly to the people of London who carry a message of solidarity with him.
This morning I've been in contact with our homeland security folks.
I instructed them to be in touch with our local and state officials about the facts of what took place here in London, uh and uh to uh be extra vigilant uh as uh our folks uh start heading to work.
President also said that uh we will not yield to terrorists.
We're gonna find them, and we're gonna bring them to justice.
You got people here who are working to alleviate poverty and to help rid the world of pandemic of AIDS, and they're working on ways to have uh clean environment.
And on the other hand, you got people killing innocent people.
And the contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions uh and the uh hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty and those who kill, those who've got such evil in their heart that they uh they will uh take the lives of innocent folks.
This is uh the war on terror goes on.
I was most impressed by the resolve of uh all the leaders in the room.
Uh their resolve is as strong as my resolve, and that is we will uh not yield to these people.
We'll not yield to the terrorists.
We will find them, we'll bring them to justice, and at the same time we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate.
I want now to move on to the uh some of the media sound bites.
This is from Good Morning America Today, uh Charlie Gibson talking to uh reporter uh Brian Ross, and he said, uh Brian, there have been some indication that Al Qaeda wanted to move its operations, uh, which now seem focused in Iraq out of Iraq.
Bin Laden supposedly has sent a message to Zarkawi in Iraq, uh, move your people if you can out of Iraq to attack Western targets.
And at a recent security conference in London, in fact, that was the main focus of the possible threat that uh jihadist uh trained in Iraq uh under Zarqawi, uh, much more skilled at urban warfare than those trained in the camps in Afghanistan, would begin to show up in Europe and perhaps in London.
London has long been a center of recruitment for uh Zarqawi and for Bin Laden's groups.
So um uh this this this little bite here I predict to you will be the opening that some people made to uh blame us, uh the United States.
You see, if we weren't in Iraq, why these guys would not have been able to get trained in urban warfare, but they've had to get trained in urban warfare to stop us.
And so we have actually helped them get ready for this attack in London by erroneously and mistakenly going to war in Iraq.
You know how you have to know how to read between the lines here, in this case, here between the lines.
You gotta re you gotta be able to understand a template that's used to put together uh these reports.
On the Fox News channel this morning, of all people, they went out and talked with the former foreign policy advisor to John Kerry, who uh you may not know, served in Vietnam, Laos, uh Cambodia, and was at Omaha Beach in World War II.
And uh this guy's name is Rand Beers.
And the uh the uh the host, Bridget Quinn said uh to Rand Beer's John Kerry's foreign policy advisor, why why why do you think they did this?
Is this all about disrupting the summit, or are there much deeper reasons, underlying reasons for it all?
It's a combination of the displeasure with British policy uh since uh the 11th of September, and particularly in relationship to Iraq.
I think that uh uh GH summit may have had something to do with this specific timing of the event.
Okay, so here we have is a noted expert on this attack in London, Rand Beers, Rand R. A N D Beers, the former foreign policy director for the defunct John Kerry campaign, saying, Well, they're mad at the Brits because of the uh, you know, the 7-Eleven September 11 and uh and the Iraq War and so forth.
You would expect nothing else from somebody in the Kerry campaign.
This is another one we're responsible.
If we hadn't gone to Iraq, uh this wouldn't happen.
British policy since 9-11, particularly a relationship to Iraq, and a G-8 may have had something to do.
The answer to the question, they did it because this is what they do.
And they've been doing it for 20 or 30 years.
And they did it before we went to Iraq.
9-11 happened before we went to Iraq, Mr. Beers.
This, you know, this is an example of a pointy-headed intellectual elite who is thought to be among the smartest people in the country, is actually a lame brain.
So caught up in templates, unable to think outside the box, so utterly predictable, and still incapable of they do it because that's who they are.
They did it because that's who they are, and they thought they could get away with it.
Let's go back to Fox, Marvin Caleb.
He's uh Grand Poo-Bah at the Joan Schorenstein Center for the press, uh up at uh up at Harvard.
And Fox just hired him as a hired him as an official commentator analyst or whatever.
And so uh Bridget Quinn says, Tony Blair, even though he faced a tough re-election, I would think Marvin, this would only steal his resolve despite all the criticism, all the flack he took over supporting the U.S. in Iraq.
Tony Blair is a man from all of the evidence that we have, is very much like President Bush.
They are both determined to take on global terrorism, no matter what the domestic political costs may be.
Um obviously they are both politicians.
Obviously, they want to be elected.
And even when I pointed out before that the president last year said we fight in Iraq in order not to have to fight at home.
I believe the president might have meant that when he said it.
But that doesn't mean that that's what the terrorists intend to do.
They could be operating on several timetables all at the same time.
They could be setting off bombs in Iraq, setting off bombs in London, and planning to set up bombs in the United States, whether or not we had troops in Iraq.
See, you gotta take your shot at Bush here.
You gotta do it.
If you're a lib anywhere, you've just gotta do it.
You gotta take your shot at Bush.
You don't take a shot at the terrorists.
No, this is the I mean, they're gonna bombs here, bombs there, bombs there.
Uh Bush.
He said we're fighting them there, so you want to fight them here.
Well, look what happened.
Um this is this is pointless to even analyze this.
I mean, we we know that that that the statement is true.
There hasn't been another attack in the United States since 9-11.
We know that terrorists are pouring into Iraq to fight.
And we know that uh terrorists have also attacked all over the world and are infiltrating all over the world.
Uh, I get worn out, folks.
Honestly get worn out listening to these people.
It's uh you know, it's just depressing to think that this is who so many people think are the best and the brightest.
And they're just not, they're just utterly predictable.
Uh that it's I don't know.
I guess I guess I just choke on the pomposity of it all and the arrogance of it all and the know it all, knowingness of it all.
Anyway, quick time out.
We got a brief break, be back and continue after this.
Welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbo, the EIB network.
Before we get out of here, Mike, uh, want you to go back to the uh mayor of London.
I want people, if they've missed this, cuts three and four, to uh listen to the mayor of uh London, Ken Livingston today, uh, who uh I I think that this is the uh this is the attitude that uh is called for in uh in a circumstance like this.
Just run these two back to back, just like we did the last time we aired this in the first hour.
I wish to speak through you directly to those who came to London today to take life.
I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange for taking others.
Is why you are so dangerous.
But I know you do fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society.
And I can show you why you will fail.
In the days that follow.
Look at our airports, look at our seaports, and look at our railway stations.
And even after your cowardly attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and to fulfill their dreams and achieve their potential.
They choose to come to London, as so many have come before.
Because they come to be free, they come to live the life they choose, they come to be able to be themselves.
They flee you because you tell them how they should live.
They don't want that, and nothing you do.
However, many of us you kill will stop that flight to our cities where freedom is strong, and where people can live in harmony with one another.
Whatever you do, however, many you kill, you will fail.
That is the uh mayor of London, Ken Livingston, uh addressing uh people of uh the United Kingdom today.
And that, as I say, that that's the attitude we Brits say we've seen worse than this.
We were bombed daily during World War II.
You think that this is nothing?
You know, I said in the opening hour of this program, I says I'm gonna apologize in advance because some of you people are gonna think it's morbid.
But to the terrorists, I would say, what, 33 people dead?
Yeah, it's nothing.
You think this was a success?
Ha!
This is nothing.
You think this is gonna stop us?
We've been through far worse than this, and we've overcome it and we'll overcome.
This is essentially what Ken Livingston was saying.
And it's uh it's a welcomed attitude.
It it's uh rather than all the morbidity and the hand wringing and the oh whoa was us.
Quickly, before I have to go, Rob or I'm sorry, Bob in the in Detroit.
One minute, Bob, make it count.
Yeah, uh Russia.
You mentioned what the left is saying on its uh websites and blogs about uh this was nothing but a criminal activity that needs to be prosecuted.
Doesn't that prove that Carl Rove was absolutely right in what he said about liberals in 9-11?
Yeah, it's a good point.
Rove said that uh they want to give therapy to the attackers and uh and uh and hand out indictments.
And I have, I've I've saw I've seen a couple well, the nation is one place.
There's some some some guy wrote a column on the nation uh today on their website.
And you can't, I mean, that's that's that's out there on the left, folks.
That's Katrina Van and Hoovel and her gang.
And uh, oh, this is an act of war, act of this is an act of murder, it's not an act of war.
This is murder.
And so Rove, yeah, right on the money.
We prosecute these guys, hand down indictments here, uh therapy, rehabilitation.
They don't say it in those words, but if this isn't an act of war, it's just a crime.
Uh then Roves right on the money.
Be right back, folks.
Be patient, and we'll be seeing you uh shortly.
Stay with us.
