Time Text
Oh yeah.
Here we are, Fastest Week in Media.
It's already Friday.
Not just TGIF, but T GIB.
Thank goodness it's Bush.
All that's actually going on out there.
Rush Limbaugh on Friday.
You know what that means?
Let's go.
Oh, yes, sir, Bob.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
And all of that.
Open line Friday, where I and we did take a call last hour.
I snuck one in there.
Na nick of time.
Monday through Thursday.
It's all about what interests me.
On Friday, it doesn't have to interest me.
If you want to talk about something, go for it.
This is the day.
You can ask a question, you can make a comment.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
The Nayroll people have pulled their ad because uh people misconstrued its meaning.
You didn't quite figure out what they were talking about.
And also because of conservative pressure as a public service, we are airing the Nayrol ad today, free of charge, in the hopes that more and more of you will understand this ad.
It's our own version of Operation Rescue, if you will, as we uh uh attempt to help Nayrol here in their quest to be understood.
Uh you could say that NARA all aborted their own ad, but actually that would not be true.
It's a partial birth abortion on their own ad.
That ad lived.
That ad was out there, saw the light of day for a couple of days, and then they killed it.
Uh so we'll have that.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, you you know me.
I mean, you've you've listened to this program, many of you here since its inception on August 1st of 1988, and others of you have uh no doubt been listening long enough to know one thing about me if you don't know anything else, and that is that I'm a uniter.
That is that I believe in fairness.
I believe in compassion and understanding and bringing people together.
I want people who agree with me.
I have a desire that the people of this country be unified.
I I I I like to heal rifts out there.
And there's a huge rift that has developed here on the eve of the National Football League season, and somebody needs to do something about it.
It's occurring with the Philadelphia Eagles.
As you know, the head coach Andy Reid has banished the star wide receiver Terrell Owens to his home in New Jersey until at least next Wednesday.
Owens wants a new contract.
He came into camp uh acting a little childish, pouting, uh, not speaking with uh other teammates, not signing autographs, and finally Coach Reed had had enough.
It's a team game.
T.O. is not interested in that.
He's pouting, trying to get more money.
The Eagles insist you pay for what you agree to play for or you don't play.
We're not gonna we're not gonna redo your contract, we're not gonna trade you.
You either you either sit out or you play, but no change in money.
T.O. is now lifting weights and shoot shooting baskets at his home in New Jersey with helicopters flying around all over his house.
Uh, and he goes out and lifts weights and does push-ups and stuff.
Meanwhile, the latest development is that Donovan McNabb has told TO to stop talking about him.
The leader of the Philadelphia Eagles, the quarterback Donovan McNabb, is I don't I'm not troubled by what TO's doing, but I don't want to hear him mention my name.
If anybody's gonna talk about me, it's gonna be me.
This rift cannot be allowed to continue, ladies and gentlemen.
It just can't.
And I would like to offer this program uh as uh as a means of getting these two uh these two Americans and star players back together.
They may not want to talk to each other face to face, but perhaps perhaps they would join me on this program and speak to each other telephonically via this program and settled this.
And it's silly.
It's silly.
They're they're adults, they're being paid millions of dollars to play basically a game.
I know it's a high-risk game, injury-wise, but they're um the the length of time they have to make big money and play this game is limited because it's athletics.
They're squandering opportunities.
They came very close to the Super Bowl last year, and they just and I know Owens has a problem with McNabb about that.
He got tired at the end, but I think it was a very unfair comment.
Uh and uh these two people need to get back together.
And I I would like to facilitate that if possible.
So if if Donovan McNabb and Owens would like to appear on the program, not in studio, but telephonically, Owens from his uh basketball court in New Jersey and McNabb from the Eagles training camp or wherever he wants to call from.
I would be more than happy to broker this and put these two guys back together for the sake of the Eagles for the sake of the NFC East and for the sake of the National Football League.
I mean it doesn't need this kind of stuff uh with uh with us being on the uh on the verge of the uh of the National Football League season.
I just wanted to put it out there, let everybody know that I've made the offer, and I'm standing.
It is beautiful, it's a beautiful thing, and I'm I'm I'm standing by.
I I'm ready at at uh you know it's a tough thing to get on this program.
We don't have guests.
I I seldom invite people on this program.
If, you know, when a guest appear on this program, it's because they've called and groveled.
And uh said they got a book or a movie or they get some issue they want to talk about.
Uh, but we seldom, I mean I think this year alone we've we've we've asked one person to come on the program that we've got two, Bernard Goldberg and Rick Santorum, and then that's it.
Uh uh.
So this is a rare opportunity that's being offered here.
And I'm I'm see Mr. Snerdley laughing in there.
I'm I'm deadly serious about this.
This is childish.
It's ridiculous to see all this going on.
And uh people of Philadelphia, you ought to see that I've been reading the papers.
People turned against TO.
They don't like TO.
This is not good for the Eagles.
TO is, yeah, they're really down on TO.
T-O go home or whatever they're saying.
Um, and he already is at home.
So I I just wanted to make the offer.
Uh and and let everybody know I'm serious about it, and his program is available anytime Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens would like to avail themselves the opportunity for an impartial arbitrator to sit here and put these two guys back together in at least sufficiently so that they could perform uh uh at peak level during the season.
Uh TOTO did say that Andy Reid uh told him to shut up and that uh his name is Owens, and nobody tells him to uh shut up.
Well, that I'm not trying to broker anything here between TO and Andy Reed.
I mean, I uh Andy Reed is the coach of the team, he's in effect the boss of the team.
That's you know, that's for TO and Andy Reid to work.
I would not I would not intrude uh on that relationship.
But I mean, these two guys the same thing.
They're players, you know, they're they're both players.
I know Donovan is a quarterback, the leader of the team, but uh this is not good for Eagles fans.
We care about Eagles fans.
We love Philadelphia on this program.
Uh been to Philadelphia for some of the most memorable moments in my life.
And so I I owe the city.
And I I'm on I'm serious.
If uh somebody wants to spread the word, I'll I'll um uh sit here eagerly uh awaiting uh some sign that the two warring factions here are willing to uh avail themselves of this really unique uh and not very often offered uh opportunity.
All right, now moving on to uh other items in the stack of stuff, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, it's amazing.
Uh I I amaze myself.
I I must admit this.
Even even I amaze myself.
You know, I will tell jokes about liberals, I'll make jokes about what they're gonna do in the future, and lo and behold, they they do it.
Uh the jokes come true.
Uh I have often said that I am on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
If you listen to this program, that you will uh know what's going to happen before it happens, should be in a cutting edge.
And I've documented how this is true time and time again over the course of the many years of broadcast service that I have offered the nation from behind this golden EIB microphone.
Here comes yet another sterling example.
This this is from the uh Los Angeles Times, and it's from today.
The California Supreme Court yesterday gave broad protections to workers who oppose orders that could be discriminatory, giving employees rights that legal experts said appear to go beyond those in any other state.
The ruling came in the case of a supervisor at a cosmetics and perfume company who resisted her boss's order to fire a woman who was not good looking enough and to replace her with somebody who was hot.
In other words, in other words, discrimination against the ugly has now ended in California.
I have long told you.
For example, undeniable truth of life number 24, written back in 1987.
Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
And even to this day, people poo-poo this And say it's insensitive.
How could you possibly say something like that?
Well, because I mean it, because I believe there's something to it.
And now, lo and behold, the California Supreme Court ruled four to two that the supervisor could sue the company for allegedly retaliating retaliating against her with poor evaluations and job requirements because she was ugly.
She didn't fit their mold of hot.
The ruling significantly expands protections for workers who refuse to follow orders they reasonably believe violate the state's anti-discrimination law.
So if somebody tells you to fire a co-worker who they think is ugly, you don't have to do it anymore.
The ugly now have job protections, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to the California Supreme Court.
It was on this program that we invented the term uglo Americans.
Everybody asks, Well, when you're talking about the ugly, I mean, who are you talking about?
I said, Oh, we don't have to.
The ugly know who they are.
You can you if this is this is not a mystery.
And and and you know when you see it.
It's just like pornography.
I mean, it may be hard to define, but you know when you see it.
And apparently, so does the California Supreme Court, and they are outlawing it in California.
The ruling, as I say, makes it much stronger for all California employees.
This is from William Quackenbush, an employment lawyer who was not involved in the case, but he said, you don't have to go and complain and risk losing your job because you're a complainer to be protected from retaliation.
They're trying to couch this as a case about an employee who refused to follow the orders of a higher-up and fire somebody.
What this is really about is the uh the higher up wanted to get rid of somebody who wasn't hot enough, wasn't good looking enough in the intermediary, so I'm not gonna do it.
I'm not telling her she's gone because she's ugly.
Well, then make up something else, but you gotta fire her and get her get replaced her with somebody who's hot.
Well, no more.
In the case before the court, Elisa Yanowitz, a regional sales manager for L'Oreal USA, Inc., said her boss ordered her to fire a female sales associate with a strong performance record because the dark-skinned employee was not attractive enough, quote unquote.
Talk about cutting edge, folks.
I've been telling you that this was coming since 1987.
The boss expressed a preference for fair-skinned blondes and directed Yanowitz to get me somebody hot, or words to that effect.
Upon learning that Yana Wits had ignored his order, the boss reiterated he wanted the associate terminated uh terminated.
He passed a young, attractive blonde girl, very sexy on his way out, turned to Yanowitz and told her, get me one that looks like that.
After she again refused his request, the company retaliated by giving her bad evaluations and changing the requirements of her job.
Citing stress, Janowitz eventually left L'Oreal on a disability leave because she wouldn't fire the unattractive co-worker.
Don't doubt me, folks.
Don't doubt me.
And it's open line Friday, Rush Linbaugh, as usual, enjoying myself immensely, having more fun than a human being, should be allowed to have.
And Tacoma, Washington, we'll start with Larry.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, nice talking to you.
Thank you.
Hey, um, I think your love for football has gotten in the way of your common sense of uh fair play and ethics.
Um, you know, in my opinion, Tio's just uh nothing but a punk.
He's he's one step below uh average NBA player for uh common sense and good class.
He's um Donovan McNabb, on the other hand, is a classy guy.
He took your comments on ESPN in the context that you portrayed them in, not the way the the first the right uh wing liberal media tried to portray it.
They uh basically gave you the Jimmy the Greek job on that deal.
So um, you know, uh and he doesn't understand the word contract.
What is a contract?
That's a binding agreement between two people.
And he wants to uh renegotiate his contract.
I'd like to see him pay back half his money if he didn't have a good season.
I think Minnesota did the right thing by getting rid of him.
He's a clown, he should be out of the sports.
He's a great athlete, but he's a clown.
All right, uh hang on here.
The two things.
Uh I want to address the the NFL contract situation, uh, and I also want to address uh your your reference to TO as a punk.
T.O. is a child of God.
Uh is a human being.
He Obviously, I think the people on the left would say he's engaging in a desperate cry for help.
I am here to offer and to assist.
I can.
I could bring these two guys together.
I've been there, folks, and I could do this.
And I'm serious in my desire to do it.
As to NFL contracts, the players have a point.
This is a this is a real uh folks, don't think this is sports discussion.
This is an employment issue here, and and this is this is going to be an economics lesson to you.
So please, for some of those those of you that hate sports, try to try to try to still listen to this and don't tune this out.
The National Football League is one of the most well-run and well structured uh business models uh that has franchises in in the history of this country.
And they have they have managed to have peace up till now with the players' union uh since 1983.
That was the last work stoppage they had, 1982 or 83 of the strikes, maybe it's 81, but in the early 80s.
And the way they've done it, uh you know they were wrong about one thing.
They thought free agency and players traveling from team to team would uh would tear down the cohesion of teams and loyalty to fans as it has done just the opposite.
But in the process, free agency has also created uh a disparity of pay from uh, you know, within a team.
Uh it is impossible, and for for to understand this, accept this.
I have heard this from four different NFL owners, it is impossible to lose money in the National Football League, primarily because of the amount each team gets from television radio and other other marketing, but it's impossible to lose money in the National Football League.
Uh there is a salary cap.
Now, in Terrell Owens case, I'm not going to get the specifics exactly right, but yeah, he signed a contract last year.
And I understand totally everybody say, live up to it, TO.
Live up to it.
Uh but if you look at the average NFL contract, next time you hear that an NFL player signed for seven years and 49 million dollars.
Don't believe a word of it.
Because that 49 million isn't guaranteed.
What you may have out of the of the 49 million TO's case, maybe six million of it's guaranteed or maybe nine million, but he can be cut any time.
He will get the bonuses he's due for signing.
The way they give you guaranteed money in the NFL is to give you a signing bonus or a roster bonus for showing up at a certain time.
Uh and they prorate that bonus over the length of your contract to apply it to the salary cap.
So where Owens may get a a a uh uh oh a 49 million dollar contract, his yearly salary may be just over a million dollars.
But he's got the bonus money up front.
What the and the it's this does not happen in baseball.
Baseball money is guaranteed.
You get injured, you get the money.
And the NFL players are trying to say, wait a minute, all these big contracts, 49 million here, 60 million there.
It's it's BS, it isn't true.
We're not getting that money.
If we get cut in the second year of a seven-year deal, we don't get any other than the bonus money that we've been given.
And they want to try to change that around, and they're trying to arrange so that they get more guaranteed money in the deals that they get.
Uh, and the reason they don't is because of the way the NFL successfully structured itself.
And this is gonna be one of the sticking points when the players association tries to put together a new deal, which they're trying to do at present with the uh with the NFL.
Now, I I understand the player's side of this uh uh in in terms of okay, the team's agreeing to pay him 49 million dollars, but they're not.
There is no way, for example, that Terrell Owens will fill fulfill that contract with the Eagles if he's the best player in the history of the game in the history of the human race.
Because at some point he's gonna get so old, those contracts are so backloaded that uh to keep him on the roster uh for the sixth or seventh year of his contract could cost the team a 10 or 11 million dollar bonus when he's 35 or 36 years old.
No 35 or 36 or 38-year-old is gonna get a 10 million dollar roster bonus in the National Football League.
You're you're approaching Social Security at that age in the NFL.
And this is this is uh this is the really T.O.'s agent Drew Drew uh Rosenhaus is one of the agents that's trying to take the lead and get the whole structuring of an NFL contracts changed.
I think TO's going about it all the wrong way.
This is not, you know, he did sign the deal just one year ago.
This is not the time to come back and do this.
But just in the sense, in the sense that the players have uh a point here.
Uh the league, The league does announce these teams announce all these huge mega deals, but those players never see half of that money.
They don't see half of it because it's all toward the end.
The salaries get up so high in the end.
You know, you could you look at look at a third-round draft choice.
Um traditionally will sign for a $600,000 bonus and get the minimum salary for the first three years of his deal.
Uh second round a little bit better, first round, of course, the the cream of the crop.
Um, but it's few others.
Uh you go to work for someplace, and if you have a contract, uh they agree to pay you X for X number of years, you're going to get it.
Unless you quit.
But if you stay there and work it, you're going to get it.
And the NFL, they're structured in such a way you can't stay there long enough to earn it.
Back in just a second.
It's open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Uh Tim in uh in White Plains, New York.
It's nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Hey, listen, just call to express my annoyance and wondered if you'd agree that the news media has failed to question Cindy Sheehan's real motivations.
I mean, just listen as she adopts a line right out of Michael Moore's playbook and demands that the President Bush, you know, send his two daughters to Iraq and everything like that.
I mean, I think that she and Michael Moore have always forgotten that we have a volunteer military force.
Her son volunteered to join the armed forces, and I think she dishonors his choice, his service, and ironically, his death by stalking the president and attacking his family with Michael Moore's.
What are your thoughts about that?
Well, yeah, I I totally understand that point of view.
I I have uh I guess my view is somewhat similar, although I I find it difficult to be uh critical uh of uh of Cindy Sheehan.
I think she's I I I I she she's a woman lost her son, and I know that there have been a lot of people lose their their kids in war.
Uh and I don't care who they are, it's it's not easy.
And uh people deal with it in in their in their own ways.
Um I I think the real shame here is her exploitation uh by the Democrats by John Conyers.
John Conyers dragged her to his impeachment meeting over the Downing Street memos.
They have made her a star in her own mind, and this attention that she's getting, I'm sure, is helping to assuage her loss.
And it's just to me, it is a and the media is exploiting her like she is a genuine uh spontaneous eruption.
They are not telling the truth about how this woman has been shepherded by Joe Wilson.
There are pictures of her with Joseph Wilson, yes, a Valerie Plame fame.
She has shown up at all these anti-war rallies.
She was an anti-war mother before any of this began to happen.
She she uh it's it's who she is.
And she, you know, she she has the right to go anywhere she wants in the country.
She has the right to go sit where she wants, she has the right to say fruitcake things all she wants.
It's the exploitation of her that I think is so typical of the left in this country in the media.
If anybody ought to be feeling sorry for her, it is them because they're the ones who are out there decrying all the loss in Iraq and all these 1,800 deaths, and yet they are happy to exploit this woman and capitalize on her misery or her sadness or her grief or whatever it is, and they're pumping her up and making her feel important.
And the bottom line of this is, Tim, she's killing their cause.
She's not hurting her cause at all.
She's making a mockery of the media that supports her.
She's making a mockery of the Democrats and the Michael Moore's that support her.
She's no different than the nayroll ad.
If people have the sense to figure out the nayroll ad is is uh is is BS uh and uh and just just obscene.
The the same thing here with this on a little bit different level.
Uh I take comfort in the fact that she I get emails from people, for example.
Rush, Rush, I was watching cable TV last night, and they hit a and I make note of the station that they say they were watching, and I go look at the ratings and I see 200,000 people watch this show.
And I say, so what?
Let her have the whole network.
200,000 people, folks, don't get so agitated here.
I keep telling you That the days of this kind of stuff winning hearts and minds of a majority of Americans is over.
Your reaction to it, I guarantee you, is much more similar to the majority of people watching this than not.
You still have this fear that this Cindy Sheehan story in the press lying about her and making her out to be something she's not is persuading a lot of people.
It's not.
All it's doing is reinforcing these kooks who already hold this jaundice view of Bush and the war on terror, is just reinforcing them in their opinion.
They're not winning any hearts and minds and not persuading anybody.
And at the same time, they are exploiting this uh this woman.
It got to the point, yeah, her father family had to issue a statement begging her to stop this.
I mean, that that's if if if if you need to know anything, know that.
If you want to know how this is affecting people, her family feels bad for her family thinks that she's being exploited, her family thinks that that she's being made to look, you know uh unfortunately like a fool here.
Uh your your anger at this, I think give her a break.
Even if she, even if this is her natural mindset, there are countless Cindy Sheehan's in the country, but they're not doing what she's doing.
And just because she's sitting in a ditch down in Crawford, Texas, she's become a hero.
And the media doesn't tell the truth about her because they want to exploit her.
They are trying to use her.
They don't care about her.
They don't care about her, they don't care about her son.
John Conyers doesn't care about her son.
They just care about using her to try to gin up the same the same negative hate and seething rage that they have, that they've been unable to transfer to the majority of the American people.
And that's what I think is is noteworthy about this.
Roger in uh New Fallujah, Michigan.
Welcome to the program.
Great to have you with us.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
It's an incredible honor to speak to you.
Uh, I've been a devoted follower since uh Gore tried to steal the elections in 2000.
Thank you, sir.
Um, I do have a comment about Jamie Gorellick, and uh I I think it's a little odd that uh the one key player in this whole fiasco is actually assigned to the uh to the commission to investigate all this.
I mean, what better ways what better place to hide somebody than in plain sight?
Exactly right.
And remember, the Democrats in Congress got to choose the Democrats on the committee, the Republicans in Congress got to choose the Republicans.
And uh I take it you don't think it's a coincidence that Ms. Gorellick is on this commission.
I think it's an incredible coincidence that uh, you know, that she magically shows up on this commission.
Uh what better way to protect her?
What better way to shield her?
Because eventually the truth will come out like it has.
And now they can say, well, wait a minute, you can question her why she's on the very commission.
Right.
Um, and it protects those who appointed her.
And I think they knew in advance that she was guilty, and I think every death as a result, including the 3,000 people in the World Trade Center, should be uh attributed to them for sensory uh towards to murder.
I think they should all be charged.
I I I think that there is a uh there's no question that they put her on this commission in order to to uh help hide this wall business.
Because by virtue of having her on the commission, the commission, well, we're not going to attack one of our own.
Why we're an independently construed and constructed commissioner.
Why why who do you think we are?
We're not gonna go after one of our own blah, blah, blah.
And so you're right.
She does she does get a uh a measure of uh of protection.
Speaking of of uh of all this, you mentioned the um 3,000 people dead in the uh World Trade Center, which I'm I'm just looking here.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, soundbite rostered.
Mike.
Uh Grow, uh go back to uh uh Grab Cuts uh 15 and 16.
Last night on television uh uh we had Kristen Breitweiser, who is uh one of the leaders of the Jersey girl.
She lost her husband in 9-11.
And she was uh one of the group applauding every time the Bush administration took a hit during the 9-11 commission hearing.
So people are bringing her back in light of this story, and uh it her answers to questions are quite telling in that she's still seeking an opportunity to blame all this on Bush.
And her her points are roughly that, well, hey, you know, these members of Able Danger, why, why they didn't turn the information over and they're still there, and Bush promoted them, Bush should be fired.
I mean, that's now, and she claims she's not partisan at the same time.
So that doesn't that doesn't hold a whole lot of credibility for me.
So we got two sound bites here with uh with Hardball last night with David Gregory's talking to Kristen Breitweiser and Roger Cressy.
Cressy was the director, excuse me, of uh internet of transnational threats on the National Security Council staff.
And uh David Gregory says, uh, Roger, given uh given how thorough the 9-11 Commission was in both sides of the aisle, there's uh certainly agreement on that that they were right to be cautious about this.
If they had other intelligence, other information didn't square with something as simple as where out it was the period of time that that may have been sourced back to uh able date.
That that question is just absurd.
Talking about taking up the cause of the commission.
Mr. Gregory, you ought to you You ought to be ashamed to call yourself a journalist.
You're just helping to spread the agenda.
Oh, yeah, very credible.
They never did anything wrong, they were right to reject all.
They were dead wrong to reject all this, especially having heard information about it twice.
Anyway, here's Cressy's answer.
9-11 Commission report is the definitive report on what happened.
So they had to be careful that whatever they put in there was sourced, was corroborated, and they weren't taking individual strands of data.
David, some of what's coming out of the uh Capitol Hill right now is frankly a load of crap.
And we need to get down to square it to the bottom truth here and not jump to conclusions.
And more importantly, David, put this episode in the context of other examples where there was a lack of information sharing, because there were far more significant ones in the course of the 9-11 Commission report that's been documented than this one right now.
I'd like to show Mr. Cressy the memos and letters from Mary Joe White, 1995 to Garelic and and uh and Reno saying, why that this wall is hurting us.
We cannot share information here.
Now, folks, this guy is in pure unadulterated spin control, because he's probably been nabbed a little bit in this himself, calling all this a load of crap.
What's a load of crap is that report that the 9-11 Commission put out.
They didn't do the job.
Here was a committee that was put together to connect the dots, and it couldn't even connect its own dots.
And scant attention was paid to the wall in the first place.
So then Breitweiser shoots back at Cressy with this.
If I could just jump in for a second, um, I I particularly would like to ask Roger directly if he had known about this operation.
Clearly, he and Richard Clark were in a position um at the time that this operation would have been put in place to know of such a thing.
And and Roger, I'm just wondering, did you know of this?
No, not at all.
This was not shared with the National Security Council staff.
And Kristen, let me say that if this information is correct, the real the central issue is why was it not shared with the counterterrorism policy community?
Well, I because I think Roger.
No.
Uh we know why it wasn't shared, and that was because the defense intelligence people at Able Danger were told they didn't have the legal right to share it.
We know why it wasn't shared.
The Clinton administration didn't want to know this kind of stuff.
We know why it wasn't shared because there was a wall that prevented it from being shared.
Cressy follows up with this.
If this was the internal DOD effort and it was being done by SOCOM, then it would be up to the Pentagon itself to determine what came into the policymaking realm.
And if this is accurate, then this is a case where it wasn't shared.
Yeah, well, it's still why.
You know, now Breitweiser and Cressy sound like they've arranged their appearance here, rehearsed it, if you will.
Roger, did you know anything about it?
No, I didn't know anything about it, and I'll tell you this.
Nobody shared it with the National Security Council.
Of course they didn't share it with the National Security Council staff.
There was a wall there.
But folks, this is this is this is drive you nuts here if you if you spent too much time on this.
This is clearly leftist spin and trying to cover their own rear ends on this, and don't be affected by the spin.
It's clear information was available.
It's clear there was a wall that prevented the transference of this information, a transferring of this information anywhere.
The question is why.
And we've now learned, by the way, that the information was not re uh gleaned as a result of an investigation, a criminal investigation.
There was no proscription, prohibition on sharing this information as a result.
It came from mining technical data.
A bunch of guys sitting around reading words.
They were free to pass it on to anybody.
They were told to shelve it.
This was the Clinton administration Pentagon, the Clinton administration National Security Council.
Why didn't they want to know?
Back after this.
As you know, ladies and gentlemen, we engaged in a very lofty goal today of public service to spread understanding between Nayrol, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and you.
They have uh they've been forced to pull their ad, blaming conservatives.
They're ad against John Rogers.
Uh Roberts blaming uh conservatives for killing the ad, also saying that uh you people uh misconstrued the meaning.
Uh translation is too stupid to figure it out.
CNN has even pulled the ad uh and uh such Nayroll has had to partially abort the ad.
That ad lived, it's died.
Our own operation rescue is underway since uh as I said earlier today, and as I've said this hour, we are into unifying people, bringing them together.
But above all, we want to advance understanding.
We love informing and teaching on this program, and Nayroll thinks that you're not getting this ad.
Well, we want to give you ample opportunity to understand this ad, and the only way to do that is to play the ad for you free of charge as a public service to Nayrol and you from me at the EIB network.
Seven years ago, a bomb destroyed a woman's health clinic in Birmingham, Alabama.
When a bomb ripped through my clinic, I almost lost my life.
I will never be the same.
Supreme Court nominee John Roberts filed court briefs supporting violent fringe groups and a convicted clinic bomber.
I'm determined to stop this fellow, so I'm speaking out.
Call your senators.
Tell them to oppose John Roberts.
America can't afford a justice whose ideology leads him to excuse violence against other Americans.
Don't believe Rush Limbo.
Well, fact check.org when they debunk our ads.
Our ad ran on CNN.
So it must be true.
Not only did Judge John Roberts defend an abortion clinic bomber, but Judge Roberts drove the bomber to the clinic himself.
Drove.
And used his own cell phone to trigger the explosion.
Just like the terrorists in Iraq.
Stop Judge Roberts from getting on the Supreme Court before he kills again.
Informed by George Soros, and they're all friends at Nazi Pelosi.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh, with half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, Morgantown, West Virginia.
This is Shannon, and welcome to the program.
Yeah, I was wanting to make a com uh comment on the thing about Allen, California where the lady disputed her boss about five people who are ugly.
I totally agree with her because, you know, just because somebody is not attractive doesn't mean that they're doing any worse of jobs than somebody that's pretty.
She's working for a cosmetics firm, Lori.
It doesn't matter.
You know, it's looks don't matter on your job performance.
Well, I th look, I totally agree.
I I've I've been one of the earliest defenders of the ugly.
That that's why I wrote that first commentary way back, that undeniable truth.
Uh I've I've I've I've I've been one of the lone defenders of the ugly on this on uh in the media.
And I just I knew that these things were gonna happen in our culture.
I mean, I agree on that same subject.
Do you do you think in fact, let me ask you, do you think this is the first time somebody has uh actually been fired or tried to fire somebody because they weren't attractive enough?
I think it's happened more too often than what we do.
That's exactly right.
And look how long it's taken our culture to come to grips with it.
Exactly.
I mean, I've worked at places down here where I'm from, and I've had trouble getting on places because you look around the malls and look around at other places, you see these really skinny pretty people, and I don't think it's fair that you get f hired or fired because you look.
You're making you're making my point.
I I uh see you you go to the mall and you you you're identifying who you think is ugly, and it's not fair that some are ugly and some aren't, see?
Because the fact is And the mall is one of the best places to see this.
I've I've often said that.
No, because I work I actually got on a place at the mall, worked for a couple years and stuff like that.
And uh it was one of the only stores in the mall that you can come in and you see people that are like a size four and anorexic looking.
Yeah.
And the sickening to walk in the other stores because they expect you to be pretty and expect you to be able to afford their clothes and wear their stuff.
You're you're you're singing my tune.
I agree with you.
I don't think the ugly should be fired simply because they're ugly.
I and I I just want to remind everybody I've I've been the lone defender of the ugly.
I've been carrying this torch by myself for almost 17 years now.
It's the fastest three hours in media, two of them in the can.
It's open line Friday, a sterling broadcast hour awaits you right around the corner this next brief timeout.
I can't wait for it to start.
