Time Text
Okay, we are back.
Great to have you with us here, folks.
The Excellence in Broadcasting Network, El Rushball, and Broadcast Excellence, all yours.
We are on the Ditto Cam.
We will be for the remainder of the program today.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
The email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
If you're just joining us, this guy from Livermore really had a good point.
And I had to go through this pretty quickly because we were running out of time in the previous hour.
His point was this.
And this is all about the arrogance and the superiorist attitude of the people on the left, including many people in the media.
And his point was, you know, 90% of the Washington Press Corps admits to being liberal, but they then say that has no effect on how they do their jobs.
Why, we are objective journalists.
It has no impact on the way we, of course, we know that's bogus, but that's what they say.
Yet here comes Judge Roberts, who is a conservative.
We know more about John Roberts than we know about every journalist in this country combined.
We know more about John Roberts and his personal life.
We know more about his professional life than we will ever know about any journalist.
And yet the same journalists who claim to be objective then stand up and say or question Roberts' ability to be lawful and abide by the law.
I'm going to tell you something else to be able to look out for.
Mr. Snerdley is right to have pointed this out.
I myself have noticed this.
You may have too.
Have you noticed all of the recent reporting on Roberts has references to Justice Scalia?
That he is in the Scalia mold, that he is a blood brother to Scalia, that he and Scalia cut from the same cloth.
You've heard of these references.
Why are they doing this?
Scalia is already on the court.
There are two reasons why they're doing this.
Number one, if Roberts makes it through, they are setting down a marker and it's okay, this guy, but nobody more conservative or more out of the mainstream than this guy.
No more Scalia's.
We're not going to put up with any more Scalias.
We're not going to put up with common sense and intelligence on this court.
We want liberalism on this court, and we're not going to tolerate any Scalias.
And another reason they're doing it, the reason they're setting up this marker, setting it out, is to lay the groundwork for opposing Scalia should Bush name him to be Chief Justice down the road.
Make no mistake about this, folks.
These people, they may appear disorganized when they get out these anti-war movements.
They may appear disorganized and other things.
But on this, this is where they circle the wagons and do the best that they can.
And this because this matters as much to them as the White House does.
And I had all these groups.
I mentioned to you all of these groups.
Let me go through these groups.
There's a massive PR newswire dump today.
All of these liberal groups have come out of the woodwork en masse on the same day announcing their opposition.
The human rights campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and parents, families and friends of lesbians and gays put out a united step.
Why do they have to unite?
Because they don't represent very many people.
They unite because they don't represent very many people.
Here's the other group that came out today was the new Democrat majority.
New Democratic majority joins growing list of progressives opposing Roberts' nomination.
It's liberals.
It's not progressives.
And then you've got people for the American Way and all this.
The big, dirty little secret is who do these groups represent?
As a practical matter, nobody.
They have no authority to speak for you and me.
These groups individually or combined couldn't come close to the membership, say, of the National Rifle Association.
Couldn't touch it.
Or concerned Women for America or any of these other groups on the right.
What gives them the illusion of representing mainstream America is the amplification they get from their cohorts and willing accomplices in the mainstream press.
But who do they really represent?
And why are they having to combine forces?
Because individually, they're insignificant.
They represent minorities of people, which is okay, but they're made to look like they are the mainstream.
They are made to look like they're the mainstream and that John Roberts and Antonin Scalia and Ronald Reagan and George Bush are the oddballs.
When, in fact, it is just the opposite.
Back to the American political scene.
Now we'll get to your phone calls, by the way, in the next segment.
This is, well, I don't know where this is from.
Something called, oh, I do too.
Anklebitingpundits.com.
Ankle-biting pundits.
I assume it's a bunch of right-wingers that consider themselves ankle biters to the left.
I don't know who they are.
This is the first time I've come across them.
I'm not putting them down.
I'm just the first ever heard of them.
But they have an exclusive scoop, and that is that Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel is privately meeting with his top advisors and political contributors to discuss the prospects of an independent bid for the White House in 2008.
According to the source, high-level GOP source, Hegel has already begun to posture himself as an independent, believing that by doing so, he can tap into the perceived growing frustration voters feel toward both major parties.
Recent polls show widespread voter dissatisfaction with leaders of both the Republican and Democrat parties in Washington.
At issue is the concern among Hegel higher-ups that the Nebraska senator will not be able to outshine President McCain in a GOP primary.
Hegel and McCain are reported to be close buds.
They share a similar profile.
Both are Vietnam veterans.
Both enjoy reputations as mavericks in the Senate.
And both will sell out their parties to get on television.
It doesn't say that.
My mistake, folks.
I added that editorially.
But McCain is an 800-pound guerrilla.
Hegel is a mischievous lemmer.
Now, somebody ought to tell Senator Hagel that this is probably McCain's gambit, too.
You know who McCain's hero is, don't you?
He's Teddy Roosevelt.
Teddy Roosevelt went in the Bull Moose Party.
Teddy Roosevelt ran against Washington, ran against the insiders, did all this.
McCain's burned his bridges with the right-wing base on purpose.
I don't know about these polls.
The poll in 2006 of what American people are mad at, both political parties and leaders.
I hear this every time somebody tries a third party.
American people fed up with both parties.
Where do these third-party people end up?
Where do they end up?
Where do they end up?
They end up nowhere.
But they, for some reason, must believe this.
I think they both, McCain and Hegel both believe that they may have blown their chances with the Republicans, probably Hegel more so than McCain.
I'm talking about their own self-perceptions.
But if McCain's thinking of going this route and Hegel's going to go this route, then Hegel's angling for something else.
Secretary of State, the McCain administration, Who knows?
Too early to prognosticate here, but nevertheless, that's the latest on Senator Hagel.
We love Senator Hagel here.
We sometimes question the directions he goes and some of the things he says.
Now, this next story, I saw this.
I cleared this last night at 7.31.
Yes, I'm working at 7.30 for you people.
Every night I'm working diligently to prep this program.
In fact, I never stopped working to prep this program because I love it.
That's what I do.
I saw this last night, and you should have seen the steam coming out of my ears.
You should have seen it.
U.S. Muslim leaders seeks Bush's support.
A leading U.S. Muslim group called on President Bush called on President Bush yesterday to show his support for mainstream Islam in this country and worldwide, worldwide, by meeting with the group next week in Chicago.
Bush could make a powerful statement to the world's 1.2 billion Muslims by appearing at the annual meeting of the Islamic Society of North America, just as he showed his support for adherents of the religion when he visited a Washington mosque a few days after the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, said Saeed Saeed, the group Secretary General.
Now, damn it, folks.
We Americans, not just George W. Bush, we Americans have shown more support from moderate Muslims than any other people in the world.
We have gone to war in part to free tens of millions of Muslims in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
And let's not forget how we joined the Muslim mujahideen in Afghanistan to help vanquish the Soviets.
Let's not forget what we did in Bosnia, which was siding with the Muslims there against the Serbs, essentially.
We have nothing to prove.
What is this demand that Bush show up and prove that he's got what it takes to get the support worldwide of Muslims?
What more does it take?
Just it's it's it's it's absurd.
It is literally absurd to have this demand met.
Even if it's not a demand, even it's a suggestion.
What more do we have to do?
American lives have been sacrificed and lost for the sake of freedom for Muslims.
Moderate Muslims around the world.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
All right, I promise we're going to go back to the phones and let's do that.
Michael in San Bernardino, California.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome.
He is gone.
He hung up.
What was he going to say, a liberal who likes?
Oh, really?
He's an attorney.
He was a liberal.
He disagrees with Nice and likes Roberts.
Was he on a cell phone or something, I guess?
Yep.
All right.
Ricky in St. Augustine, Florida.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
I want to know what your prediction is about this Abel Danger accusation.
I want to know if what you think.
Is it really going to go through?
Are we the people really going to hear the truth about this?
Or are they going to be able to say it's all a lie and then it's going to fade away?
What is your prediction?
Well, my prediction.
Is this the biggest story that we've had ever?
Some people think that this has the potential to outdo Watergate.
I mean, nobody died at Watergate.
Exactly.
But, before I go there, uh, let me, I'm not ready to say that about it yet.
I just know others who are.
But before I give you my prediction, I just, I need to repeat what I have said over and over about this.
I think that the purpose of these blue ribbon panels is to insulate personally the elites of the Washington political class from any damage.
I think this 9-11 commission was put together with its verdict already determined.
I agree.
They conducted the hearings privately in order to get to that verdict.
Their public hearings were an attempt to embarrass and destroy George W. Bush.
I agree.
But privately, they had their agenda.
What is the agenda here?
Okay, we had 3,000 people blow up and get killed.
We had two buildings knocked over and the Pentagon.
Pardon?
Civilians.
Not people who joined the armed forces willingly, but these people are civilians.
Right, right.
Okay, so we had, all right, 3,000 civilians.
You're interrupting my train of thought.
Sorry.
It's only my highly trained broadcast specialty here and specialties that allow me to keep it.
Okay, so civilians.
You got 3,000 people that were murdered, civilians that were murdered, and people in the Pentagon, too.
And this is big.
This has never happened before.
And in the immediate aftermath, we found out who these 19 hijackers were.
We found out that night.
We had pictures that night.
We knew who these people were.
We knew they had gone to flight school.
We knew where they went to flight school.
We knew where they came in the country.
We knew how many driver's licenses they had.
We knew where they bought their airline tickets that morning to go to Boston and Newark to get on these airplanes or Washington or wherever it was and hijack them.
If we knew that within 24 hours of the attack, we had to know it beforehand.
So this commission gets together with parties, both parties represented.
You got Republicans and Democrats.
The chairman's a Republican.
The co-chairman's a Democrat.
And the purpose of this is twofold.
The Democrats on this committee want to make sure they can dump as much off on Bush as possible and protect Bill Clinton, should it come to that?
The Republicans just flying blind, just trying to find the truth probably in an old-fashioned National Honor Society type approach to it, do the right thing.
Not trying to blame anybody.
The bottom line is that when push comes to shove, they are going to circle the wagons and make sure that no member of the political class, no member of the elite Washington establishment gets blamed for this.
So in giving you a prediction, do I think that the truth is knowable?
Yes.
Do I think that we can peg it on whoever or whatever screwed up?
Yes.
Do I think that'll happen?
I don't know.
When the Washington political class circles the wagons to protect itself, it's sometimes very hard to penetrate.
But I can tell you this.
I spoke to Kurt Weldon on Tuesday afternoon.
I've never heard an elected official speaking the way he was speaking.
He sounded like you and me.
He sounded like a regular.
He is fit to be tied.
He is angry as hell.
For one thing, they've tried to discredit him and they've tried to discredit his sources.
They're not believing what he's saying.
Everybody's demanding he present more proof and he does and they still try to come up with reasons to escape what he's saying.
And he is loaded for bear now and he is not going to stop.
How far he's able to get.
You've got to understand there are a lot of sources and these sources are just average Americans.
They don't make a lot of money and they can be threatened.
You know, there's a lot.
I'm telling you, if this is as big, Ricky, if this is as big as, for example, you think it is, then it is worth keeping secret because this could end up ruining somebody forever or a group of people forever.
And these people did not go to Washington to amass power to just simply watch themselves be destroyed.
So it's going to be really, really hard.
And unless something happens that causes a mass consensus of people to demand the truth like happened in Watergate, it's going to be tough.
I'm hesitant to predict that we're going to get to the bottom of it.
So how do we as the American people demand the truth?
What do we do?
What do we say?
Who do we write?
Congressmen, senators, letters to the editor of the newspaper, call programs like this.
But follow Kurt Weldon on this.
You don't want to get out in front of this.
You don't want to assume things based on what's been reported.
Just react to it as it comes out.
We've already got hearings now.
We've got Hastert that's agreed to conduct hearings in the House.
We've got Specter who's agreed to conduct hearings into this in the Senate.
Take a look at these hearings when they happen, if they happen, when they happen.
And we'll get an idea if there's a whitewash being attempted there.
We'll get an idea if they're trying to come up with something just to satisfy people like you, Ricky, and make you go away, give you just enough to smell blood, but send you away happy.
We'll be able to figure this out as it develops, but don't jump the shark and get ahead of this.
Well, I'll take your lead, Rush.
You tell us what to do.
We want to know the truth.
I believe everybody wants to know the truth.
No, some people don't.
See, that's the thing, Ricky.
And I'll guarantee you this.
There are a lot of Americans in this.
Let me just give you a hypothetical.
Give you a hypothetical.
Let's say, and it's a pure hypothetical just for illustration purposes.
Let's say that these hearings take place, and let's say that we uncover some things that actually do, without any doubt, illustrate that it was the Clinton administration and persons in that administration that erected the wall and knew of Abel Danger.
And precisely because the wall existed, did not want Abel Danger to have its information spread.
If we learn that that happened, there are going to be more people than you realize circle the wagons around Bill Clinton and Hillary because she's the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee.
And there are going to be people who are going to be more concerned with not damaging the Clinton's legacy and her presidential chances than they are going to be concerned with the truth of this incident of 9-11 coming out.
Make no mistake.
I'm telling that's how hard this is going to be.
These people play for keeps.
People look at politics and you cover it on television and you watch it being covered on TV and you don't get the real scope and picture of what this business is all about.
This business is about one thing, pure, unadulterated power.
That's what the business ⁇ the business of politics is not satisfying constituencies and not the business of making sure your voters like you.
Yeah, you do that six months before your election.
This is about power.
And when people who have power are on the verge of losing it because an investigation might get close to them, then you shouldn't be surprised at anything that they would do to save themselves.
Hi, welcome back.
Nice to have you, folks.
Great to be with you on the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network as America's anchorman and America's truth detector, Dan in Freita, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Rush, greetings.
The question I have for you, has the political establishment called in their ace reliever, Arlen Specter, to take care of this mess?
I mean, he's a veteran of the Warren Commission, and to me, a perfect view of the political entrenched in Washington, or am I just a member of the Keepers of an odd society?
I wouldn't say the fix isn't because of that.
I mean, the committee that would look into this, he chairs.
But you're going to have, that's why it says too soon to say.
I can't predict what's going to happen before the committee gets underway if they actually do get underway.
We'll be able to see this if it's happening.
I think what's going to drive this is once they get to the hearing stage and if these able danger people come out and are credible and they've got the documentation, it's going to be hard to stop this because the American people are going to want to know the truth and are going to be outraged about it.
And that could end up driving it.
When I said the political class, I don't have anybody particularly in mind.
I didn't mean to say it for that reason.
And so I don't want to suggest that there is a particular person that I have in mind here.
I just, I know how that world works.
It's a business like any other business.
They have to get elected to get into the club, but it's still a business once they get there.
And it's cutthroat.
And it literally is about power.
And let me tell you what makes it about power.
Forget the ideology for a second because that's obviously paramount and fundamental.
But this is about money.
Look at the money these people have control over.
Look at the money they spend.
Look at the trillion dollars they are in charge of allocating every year.
And look at the portion of that that they can end up steering their way in any number of ways after they leave office.
Sometimes it's been done while they're in office.
You know, that's what I've always laughed when I've, you know, campaign financial reform, got to get the money out of politics.
That's like saying we've got to get the oxygen out of life.
You know, we're never going to get the oxygen out of life.
Well, not human life.
And we're not going to get the money out of politics.
And that's why, you know, there's John Linder and Neil Borts.
They've got a great book out called The Fair Tax.
It's an absolutely fabulous one.
Number one, New York Times.
Steve Forbes has a book out on the flat tax.
And I love Steve Forbes.
I love Borts.
I love these guys.
They're great Americans and they care deeply.
But do you know what we're up against here?
Do you really think that members of Congress are going to just give up the single greatest power they have?
And that is the social architecture they're able to construct via the tax code?
The tax code is as big as it is because that is an illustration of the power these people have.
They can determine homeownership.
If they take away the home mortgage deduction, what do they do to the homeowner's business?
What's the homeowner's lobby or the home builder's lobby going to do about that if they ever tried that?
The various ways that different kinds of income are taxed and not taxed and so forth.
You've got your ideology.
I don't want to be misunderstood.
You've got a lot of ideologues who care deeply about all this.
They run for office for that reason.
I'm not besmirching everybody.
I'm just saying this is a business as well, and it's about money.
So when and power and reputation.
And when something like 9-11 comes along, you have to understand that is a huge failure somewhere.
It is a massive failure somewhere, made ever so evident to me by how quickly we as Americans were told who the 19 hijackers were, complete with photographs.
I don't want to be a brokered record.
Didn't it stun any of you that we knew where they went to flight school, all those details about them that night, the next day, two days after, it had to be known somewhere.
It had to be known.
This event, while people have done their best to erase it from our memories as they conduct modern day politics and fight Bush on the war on terror and so forth, you have to, if you want to put yourself in the minds of those who feel vulnerable on this, go back to that day and remember how you felt.
And those people feel that way anytime this investigation gets ginned up.
And does it, does it, let me illustrate it this way.
Does it surprise anybody that not one person in any level of our government has been fired over what happened at 9-11?
Does it surprise you?
Does me.
Well, actually, it doesn't me.
That's the point.
That's the purpose.
The purpose is to absolve blame from an individual.
What?
Has somebody been fired?
What are you frowning at me about?
Well, I'm not surprised.
I'm not surprised.
The CIA blew this, and the CIA has been in a CYA mode ever since.
The CIA has been trying to blame FBI.
The FBI has been trying to blame the CIA.
They've both been blaming the wall.
Now everybody's blaming a building, the Pentagon.
Now there are Pentagon lawyers.
Not one person.
Not one.
There are people who are put into government, experts, precisely.
We're the world's superpower.
We have the National Security Agency.
We have this big listening device.
We can intercept any bit of intelligence in the world and email, cell phones, satellite phones.
We have the ability.
We've got the NSA has the ability to pull this stuff out of the air.
There's so much of it, it may be hard to go through, but it's there.
Somebody's on the hook here, or some organization is on the hook.
Something is on the hook.
If it comes out, this is where this is going to be.
If it comes out that enough was known to stop this, I am telling you, heads will roll.
And the whole purpose, if somebody already knows that there was information present to stop this, there's been circling of the wagons going on ever since.
And they will continue to circle the wagons to prevent that bit of information from getting out.
But even at that, even if it never gets to that, even if that's not the case, nobody's been fired.
And clearly, there was, if not incompetence, there was laxness.
There was somebody dropped the ball or a group of people dropped the ball somewhere.
Somebody wasn't taking something seriously.
And I just, I'm, in fact, some of the people that have been closer to this have been given medals.
George Tennegot, a medal.
Some might say, why?
I'm not going to speculate on that.
I've gone farther than I want to on this.
I'm just trying to convey to you an attitude or the way I think that these kinds of things happen.
The elite political class in Washington, D.C., folks, it's just like trying to take out Enron.
It's just like trying to take out Halliburton.
Pick your favorite big organization.
Be trying to like trying to take, look at the UN.
The UN's a classic example of what I'm talking about.
Oil for food.
Even the investigator, Paul Volcker, doesn't seem to be interested in finding out what really happened.
It's taking a journalist, Claudia Rosette, to embarrass everybody.
And the Wall Street Journal.
And it's taking a bunch.
Senator Norm Coleman to get to the bottom of this.
But the UN doesn't want anybody to know what really went on there.
And they're still in a CY.
And Kofi Annan even threw his own son overboard to save his own skin.
I'm telling you, this is the big time.
This is not a principal trying to save his job at a school.
This is the big time.
And I just, I think that it's going to be very, very challenging to get to the root of this.
But we've got the ingredients for it to happen.
We have Kurt Weldon, and I talked to him Tuesday, and you'll read this interview.
He doesn't care what happens to him as a result of this.
He told me that he's already been told, Congressman, you proceed and you are giving up any chance to head up a more powerful committee as you get reelected.
If you do this, if you go through with this, you may not get any re-election funds.
You're going to have all kinds of problems.
And these are friends of his and advisors of him telling him what the pitfalls are down the road.
And he told me he doesn't care about that.
He's more, he's almost, well, his personal involvement is unquestioned here, but the degree of passion he brings to this is unlike, as I say, any interview I've ever had with anybody.
And we will, in coming days, I'll share you bits and pieces of this just to show you what I'm talking about.
But already, just with that, if people are already telling Kurt Weldon, you better be careful, Congressman.
What do you think?
And I'm not saying he's being threatened.
These are friends of his saying, if you go through with this, you know, they might shut your career down right where it is.
Well, who is the they?
Who is the they is all I'm saying.
And there's always a they.
And the political class in Washington includes the think tankers, includes the media.
It includes elected officials, includes their staff.
Sometimes staff will be thrown overboard, but it's a close-knit group, folks.
This is the power center of the world.
You have to understand this.
It's not the U.N.
It's not China.
It's not any, it's not Russia, not Moscow.
It's not London.
It's not Paris.
Washington, D.C. is the power center of the world.
And that's why we're despised and hated, because we have so much of it.
But the people that have their own little fiefdoms of power, they're not just going to sit there, for the right thing, yes, I will give up my power.
The idea is to keep the right thing away from you if you're there, if you're incriminated.
If it were other than that, somebody would have come forth already and say, you know what, I blew this.
My agency blew this.
I'm sorry, and I'm resigning.
No way.
It ain't going to happen.
Quick timeout, back with more in just a second.
Stay with us.
Crestkill, New Jersey, up next.
This is Bill.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Now, hi there, Rush.
I think you might be mistaken about some of the Democrats trying to hide this and may really support the investigation that Specta wants to do because this will displace Hillary and this will get some of the Democratic wannabes a chance to get the nomination.
And Kerry might get back in.
You really think that some Democrats would support anything that might turn up something damaging to Mrs. Clinton in this?
Yes, I think some of them would simply to get her out of the running.
Like who?
Like who will risk their life to do?
I shouldn't say that.
Who will do that?
Well, Kerry has no chance if she stays in the race, but he would have a chance if she got out.
And also Lieberman.
Lieberman is an upstanding guy, and he would be very, I'm sure he hates what went on, and I'm sure that he would support the commission or the investigation.
You're naming people that circle the wagons around Bill Clinton.
Now, I know Bill Clinton's not 3,000 people dying at 9-11, but you're naming people who all circle the wagons around him.
I know Lieberman gave some little speech to get the Democrats off the hook on morality and how Clinton's failing, but that was orchestrated just to take the heat off everybody.
But when it came time to vote your conscience, Lieberman found nothing wrong with Bill Clinton.
Yeah, well, how about the Democrats from the Democratic senators from red states?
I think they've got a lot at stake if they try to hold this up.
Well, they do, depending on how it shapes out.
I mean, if it becomes pretty obvious that we didn't get the truth in the 9-11 Commission and there's some people obviously trying to steer this thing back in that direction and keep the truth still secret, yeah, they'll pay a price for it.
I think momentum can overtake all this in this.
I think if the momentum gets going, that can trump the things I've been saying about the political class up to a point.
If they have to throw somebody overboard like Kofi threw his kid overboard, they would do it.
But throwing Hillary overboard or somehow or Bill, you know, you ought to, you're from New Jersey.
You ought to go ask Bob Torricelli if that's likely or go ask Andrew Cuomo if it's likely.
I mean, these guys may think they're running the party, but this party is still under the iron shackles of Bill and Hillary Clinton and make no mistake about it.
And that's why Jamie Gorelik is on the 9-11 Commission.
Pure and simple.
Well, some of the big donors are lined up with Hillary, but not all.
Some of the big donors go to Mark Warner and Evan Bayh.
Some of the big donors are going to...
There are some Democrats that think she can not win the election.
They're pretty confident she could get the nomination.
But there are a lot of Democrats worried that she doesn't have what it doesn't connect on TV.
We talked about this.
She doesn't come across as friendly.
She's my favorite name for his nurse Ratchet.
I mean, we created this whole concept of the testicle lockbox in connection with Mrs. Clinton.
I mean, she has that kind of appeal to people.
You fill in the blanks here.
I do know that there's some people who would love for her to not be as strong as she is in this race, but I'll believe it when I see it, that either of those two people somehow get discarded, let's say, by the Democratic Party.
They should have done it long ago, in my opinion.
I mean, I think it's one of their big problems today, that not only did they not get rid of Clinton, they've tried to emulate him.
And I think Clinton's done more to destroy the Democratic Party than Cindy Sheehan has or any of these people down in the ditch that are squatting.
And I've been saying this since 1994.
It's actually one of the biggest blessings we've had.
It was hell to put up with, but it actually proved out, I think, and it's still true, although you won't want to admit it.
Quick thing here before I have to take this break.
We had this story yesterday that 29-week-old fetuses don't feel any pain and therefore don't need to be anesthetized when they're aborted.
Well, it turns out that according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Dr. Eleanor Gray, who was part of the survey group, the research group that did this, is medical director of the abortion clinic at San Francisco General Hospital.
What's more, the report's lead author, medical student Susan Lee, previously worked for NAROL Pro-Choice.
So a bunch of abortion advocates put, I knew that something smelled about this story.
A bunch of abortion advocates put together quote-unquote research saying that a 29-month-old fetus feels no pain when it's aborted and doesn't need anesthesia.
You could have made a book on it.
And if those, some of you out there suspected it when you heard the story yesterday, I applaud you.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
All right.
Just to remind you, we are probably just from the looks of it here, three or four hours from the eye wall to hurricane striking, as they say then around Bulca.
The eye is tightening now.
The northern eye wall is tightening.
And it's probably 20 miles south of here where the real eye wall is, maybe 30.
We think we're going to be okay.
If it's a hurricane, it's a Cat 1.
We are going to do our best to be here tomorrow.
If not, Roger Hedgecock, if we're unable to get out of here electronically, if the phone lines are down or what have you, and if we can't get our satellite link up, you just never know.
But we're going to give it every shot.
We've got Hedgecock in San Diego standing by.
And we hope and we trust that I'm confident that we will be here tomorrow because, you know, knock on for Micah, grant it, knock on granite.
I just don't think it's going to be as bad as they say.
It seldom is.
Even though it could be bad, they always overshoot it.
Make sure people are prepped.
See you tomorrow, folks.
We hope.
If not, then on Monday.
