Time Text
Hubbahubba, doobadooba, the fired up and thrilled and excited Rush Limbaugh here on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
This is the award-winning, thrill-packed, ever exciting Rush Limbaugh program here on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
It's great to have you with us today.
Telephone number 800 282882.
The email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
Well, the uh the Wall Street Journal uh op-ed page uh in the break here at the top of the hour has requested for me an op-ed on the conservative crackdown, as opposed to the conservative crack up for their Monday edition.
So uh I agreed to do it.
I'll sit down and uh pen in hand, well, keyboard at fingertips, and uh get this going, because I tell you, folks, this is um this is gonna be one of these seminal moments that the left is gonna be scratching their heads about all next year, not understanding what went wrong, just like they don't understand to this day what went wrong in 2002, the Wellstone Memorial.
Uh they don't understand what went wrong in 2000, they don't understand what went wrong in 2004.
Uh they haven't, they just, and especially when it comes to us.
They they'll never understand conservatives.
It's not in them.
They're not capable of it, they never will.
No matter how open and honest we are, and I think that's that's one of the problems they face.
They just don't know how to deal with honesty.
It's like when Bush campaigned in 2000 and 2004, then set out to do what he said he was going to do.
The Democrats say that's a trick.
Politicians don't do that.
They lie during campaigns, and then they go do what they want to do.
Bush is tricking us.
He's actually doing what he said he was going to do.
So don't let this don't let this Meyer stuff or any of that uh uh get you down on the dumps here, folks.
This is this this movement is too big.
There's a new media, the media monopoly is over.
The shift, the paradigm shift that's long been in the works the last 15 years got a lot of momentum.
It's going to keep going.
I'll tell you something else.
You know, you talk about this base being fired up.
Let me tell you what I know about you people.
I know that you have been paid that a lot of this audience is the conservative base, and there's a lot of the conservative base not listening to the program right now for one reason or another, who are of the same mindset here that I'm about to describe.
The liberals have no concept of how they are perceived.
The media, Democrats, no concept of how they're perceived.
But I'll tell you what we haven't forgotten.
We haven't forgotten forged documents to try to bring down a president.
We haven't forgotten, forgotten Bush is a Nazi.
We haven't forgotten Abu Grab.
We haven't forgotten Club Gitmo.
We haven't forgotten the efforts to demonize and criminalize Republicans and conservatives simply because they are conservative and Republican.
We haven't forgotten all of the character assassination, the filibustering of qualified men and women to sit on the federal appellate bench.
We haven't forgotten any of this, and we're not going to forget it because an attack on all of those people is an attack on us.
They we have not forgotten that they think we are racist, sexist, bigot homophobes.
We are nowhere near having settled the score with these people and letting them know exactly where their words and their policies have taken us.
And I'll tell you something else the vast majority of this base knows better than anything else.
This country's national security cannot be trusted with the likes of any Democrat seeking the presidential nomination in charge of it.
We cannot trust the national security of this country to a Hillary Clinton.
We cannot trust it to a John Kerry or an Al Gore or whoever on their side wants to win the nomination.
Simply can't.
And the conservative base, the Republican base, is an issue-oriented voting block.
It is not a personality-oriented voting block.
And it is educated and informed on these issues.
It is not brainwashed.
And there is absolutely no effort, there's no inclination whatsoever on the part of the Republican base to cede defeat to the people, especially the left, especially where they've gone about trying to achieve it.
The party of Cindy Sheehan, the party of Michael Moore, the party of uh books on how to assassinate President Bush.
We haven't forgotten these things.
And we're not going to forget these things.
And they're going to be part of any campaign that comes up next year or in 2008.
And Democratic candidates are going to be forced to either side with the people who've made these outrageous claims or distance themselves from them.
If you want Michael Moore sitting next to you at the Democratic Convention, you better be prepared to have him at your campaign rally in 2006.
You want these liberal left-wing blog extremist kooks that become the Democratic base.
You want them formulating your policy.
You better be ready to damn well support them and to mention them by name and praise them.
Because if you don't, people are going to know that you're a little afraid because we're going to remind people of it.
Who the left is, we know.
We know them like every square inch of our glorious naked bodies.
They don't understand conservatives for the life of themselves, and they never will.
But we know liberals better than they know themselves.
We know what liberals are going to do before they do it.
We know what they're going to say before they say it.
We know what objections are going to raise to people before they raise those objections.
They are infinitely predictable.
We also know they have nothing new to offer.
We also know that liberals have not one thing new to offer, and they cannot be honest about who they really are, because then they would seriously doom themselves.
They can't come out and say they want to raise your taxes.
They want to grow the government.
They want to get the military out of Iraq.
They want to do all they can't come out and say the things that they really want to do.
They can't come out and say the things that their base is demanding that they say.
Because if they do, they're doomed.
So what do they have to do?
Continue to camouflage themselves, mask themselves, try to pretend that they're something that they're not, make voters believe that they are something that they are not.
Well, in the new media paradigm, they can't get away with that anymore because they don't control the media.
They don't dominate it even anymore.
And this is something that, as I say, the base on our side is not going to forget.
They're not going to forget the reaction that Mel Gibson got with his movie The Passion of the Christ.
They're not going to remember the slights that Gibson got in Hollywood.
They're not going to remember all of these movies and TV shows that have attempted to besmirch and uh impugn conservatives.
This these memories do not go away.
We're not simply going to sit by and be torn apart by a Supreme Court nomination and allow this coalition to go defunct and turn the country over to the people that we literally do not trust to run it.
And if the liberals think that that's happened, and if they think it's going to happen, then we should encourage them.
Because they've already got the election won in 06, just like they had the 02 election won and the 04 election won.
They thought they've had Bush impeached.
How many times?
They thought Cindy Sheehan was going to do it.
They thought the Bill Burkett Forge documents were going to do it.
Then they thought Richard Clark was going to do it.
Then they thought the 9-11 Commission was going to do it.
Then they thought the Jersey girls were going to do it.
Then they went back to Cindy Sheehan.
Then they've gone back to all of these things.
They went to the National Guard story four or five times.
They're going to go back to it again in the Harriet Myers confirmation talks.
Confirmation hearings.
They got nothing new.
They continue to give themselves awards for rotten coverage.
We don't, we're not going to forget how they totally, totally misreported what happened in the aftermath of the hurricane.
We're not going to forget.
We're not going to forget how they've used the media to advance an agenda.
Not going to forget these things.
We know that they're going to keep doing it.
We know them like every square inch of our glorious naked bodies.
We'll be back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Now I haven't forgotten a New York Times piece.
Robin Toner citing these three areas where Bush is losing it, and the Democrats have a chance to win.
The war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and I forget.
I forget what the third one was.
I'm going to go to those things.
I've got a lot to do here, and I want to get to your phone calls too, because I haven't taken but one phone call yet today, and a lot of people have been waiting patiently.
Then there's David Broder today in the Washington Post for Democrats a Path Back to Power.
Tim Russert said on the Today Show today, Democrats are giddy over these poll numbers that have come out.
I just told you that Bush's low point poll numbers are higher than the seven previous presidents at their low point.
None of that gets reported.
It's all ignored because they think it's over.
Oh, we got Bush right where we want him, and conservatives are cracking up and so forth.
So I'm going through this broder piece.
And listen, a Broder at least gets the power and influence of these activist extremists on the internet, these Democrat bloggers.
Because that path, this is an excerpt, because that path aims down the political center, it will not be easily accepted by many of the activists, meaning there's a there's a group advocating a Democrats become more moderate.
And Broder's saying, and it's it's a third way is the name of the organization.
And the third way.
It's just it's a it's a it's a bunch of people that again want to lie about who they are.
A liberal is a liberal liberal, folks.
There is no left-wing extreme liberal, moderate liberal.
They're all liberals.
It's just you have degrees of liberals trying to cover it up, and liberals honest being about who they are.
And the left-wing democratic activists on the blogs, they're the honest liberals.
They're the ones who, hey, this is who we are, this is what we believe, this is the language we use, this is the language we want to hear.
Then you've got all these subgroups of Democrats who mask themselves to one just one one degree or another to uh or camouflage trying to hide just how liberal they are.
So they've got this group called the Third Way proposing a more moderate approach.
And Broder says, Well, that path aims down the center.
It's not going to be easily accepted by many of the activists in the organizations that control the Democratic Party at the grassroots and dominate its fundraising, whether they be Hollywood millionaires or internet deniacs, and they're not just DNiacs, Mr. Broder.
These men and women who provide most of the energy in democratic campaigns, these are the kooks.
It's become the base.
Ardently oppose both the domestic and international policies of the Bush administration, and they yearn for candidates who would reverse President Bush's direction on Iraq, taxes, gay rights, abortion, and other issues.
Because of the work they do and the money they raise for the Democratic Party, elected officials, especially in Washington, heed their views.
Yes, they do.
They won't invite them to their parties, and they won't show up at their rallies.
But they do speak their language when it's time.
Their influence, the kook, the kook base, their influence is reflected in democratic votes against everything from the Central American free trade agreement to the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts.
Then he goes on to say that uh the perception that the Democrats are weak on confronting terrorism and hostile to the culture of the deeply religious has cost the party dearly, especially among married women and Catholics.
And by the way, that's not going to change because this hostility to the deeply religious and and uh the deeply moral, I might say, is is a foundational building block of liberalism.
They're not going to moderate on this.
Broder thinks that they can.
But they can't.
And he says, but if they can, if they can, if they can change course on that, this is like saying if you could automatically become a girl, you could have a baby.
It's gonna be that hard.
You know, you if you're a guy in the audience and I say to you, you know what?
If you can become a girl, you could have a baby.
It is possible.
Oh, really?
Saying to a liberal, hey, look, if if if you if you if you can change your viewpoint on the deeply religious and the deeply moral, uh, then you might win the election.
Right.
They're not going.
The religious and the moral offend liberals.
Like nothing else does.
They're not going to moderate on that.
But Broder, then, after assuming that this is possible, says this.
This opens the way for Democrats to recoup.
Recoup ground if they find a candidate who conveys strength of conviction on national security, the opposite, say of Kerry, saying, I actually did vote for the 87 billion before I voted against it would help.
Broder writes, if the candidate also had a solid marriage, a church-going habit, and an ability to express sympathetic understanding of those who disagree with his or her personal support of abortion and gay rights.
Well, what is Mr. Broder suggesting a Democrats need in order to win the White House?
A Republican.
That's what's laughable about this.
Yeah, the Democrat It reminds me of the time I was at Democratic Convention in uh in San Francisco in.
Guess this would be 84.
Yes, it'd be 80.
Yeah, it was 84.
Mondole was the nominee.
And a good friend of our family.
I'm from Southeast Missouri, Cape Girardo, in the little town south of us, Sykeson, as a good friend of our families who was a very powerful player in the Democratic Party of Missouri who was at the convention and my dad told me to look him up when I went out there.
And I did, and he invited me to one of the receptions.
It's where I met Gephart and a bunch of these other guys.
It was one of these fancy bancy little hotel ballrooms that you don't think Democrats ever go in because they're the men and women of the little people.
There they were with their cut glass and crystal and gold uh surroundings in this ballroom, uh sipping champagne and accepting money from other rich Democrats with Tip O'Neill arriving in a limousine and so forth.
But this this friend of the family came up to me and he said, You spot me a hundred electoral votes, and we can win this election.
I looked at him and I said, Spot you a hundred electoral votes.
You mean you're that close?
Well, it's like it this is no different than when Broder says if the Democrats could find a candidate who conveys strength of convention on conviction on national security, and a candidate who also had a solid marriage, a church-going habit, and an ability to express sympathetic understanding of those who disagree with his or her personal support of abortion and gay rights.
You have a candidate like that surface in the Democratic Party, if you can find him or her, and that's the challenge would they would first face it.
If you can find that person, then they can jolle that person to actually become the nominee.
This kook left wing base is going to destroy that person.
It ain't gonna hap the so Broder is essentially saying the Democrats need a Republican candidate in order to win the White House.
That's what he's saying.
So don't fall for this business here, folks, that uh this crack up is happening and that all the left has to do is sit around and watch and then get the vote out and show up and they will win.
Because the truth of the matter is the one thing the left never does is examine itself.
The one thing the left wing media never does is honestly report on itself, and they are not facing their problems, and they are not admitting their problems, and as such they're not working on solving their problems.
So they're sitting around finally thinking that all this negative attack business that they've been engaging in for all these decades has finally worked.
They think when the conservative movement is bad is mad at George W. Bush, who they still continue to run against.
If I didn't know better, you know, people ask me today, Rush, who do you think the 08 nominee is gonna be?
I'd say Bush.
What do you mean he can't run again?
Well, as I listen to Democrats, that's who they're running against.
So I think Bush is gonna change the constitution, Rove's gonna change it, whatever, and Bush's gonna be on the ballot in 08.
That's who the Democrats are running against.
Well, they think they finally split Bush's coalition, that means they beat Bush, that means they win.
It's cocky.
It is loopy, but that's where they are.
And uh, you know, we often say, you know, you there is a saying, if your enemy's destroying himself, get out of the way and let it happen.
Uh, but that's not what's happening.
Their enemies not destroying themselves.
There's not a crack up from within or anything of the sort.
In the meantime, they're not doing one thing to address the problems they've got, and as you read things like Broder, what they knew what they need to do to win, oh yeah, it all sounds great, but in reality, it can't happen.
You can't keep the base that they've got by nominating essentially a Republican as your nominee and calling him a Democrat.
Ain't gonna fly.
Tim and Roanoke, Virginia.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Rosh Megadeths, man.
I've been with you for 17 years now, and today you are particularly excellent.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I had a question regarding the uh Harriet Myers nomination.
Yes.
Um this comes from my thought process as a uh 17-year student.
Would you think that uh Bush has maybe painted himself into a corner with this nomination?
And uh you know, would he I know that he doesn't read a whole lot of the uh you know the rags out there as far as the mainstream media stuff.
What do you mean by painted himself into a corner?
Well, I mean by her nomination and the fact that a lot of people consider it stealth, and it's not hasn't been the normal way of doing things lately anyway, does uh what would the implications be if he if he decided to change his mind or okay, okay, okay, I see what you're saying.
Well, what what what would the fallout be if he changed his mind?
Well, see I know there are a lot of uh lot of people demanding that uh that he pull the nomination.
He's not going to.
I I would um I'd bet the golden EIB microphone askers have a backup that uh that he's not gonna do that.
He won't pull her nomination.
It's too loyal, too stubborn, he's he's not he's not gonna do that.
Whether or not she eventually pulls out, I don't know.
But you know, I'm I'm not a Pollyanna, as you people know, but this is all gonna work out.
It's all gonna work out one way or the other i it will work out.
And now speaking hypothetically, if he pulls the nomination, the left will think, or if she pulls out, the left will consider that a big victory or what.
Nobody's gonna know how to analyze that until I have told you how to analyze it and how I analyze it.
If that happens, I'll wait till it does to share with you my thinking on it, because I don't want to jump the gun on any of this, but uh be cool out there, folks.
This is this is really all this debate is just good.
It's good for all of us.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, screen uh Brian.
Brian, time for the ditto cam out there.
Let's let the base in on all of the positive vibes that are happening here and let them in on it video uh with video, the Ditto Cam at Rushlimbo.com now on.
Give yourself 45 seconds for the streaming to uh buffer and load and you'll see it.
Uh I want to go back here to Robin Toner in the uh in the New York Times today.
And again, her piece, Democrats See Dream of O Six Victory Taking Form.
Already, the response to Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq and soaring gasoline prices have taken a toll on the popularity President Bush and conservative Republicans, Congressional Republicans.
Now, let's take a look at this.
Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq, and soaring gasoline prices.
Now, one of my theories, and I've always shared these theories, the liberals, like Feynman, let's go back to him.
Feynman, some time ago, last three weeks or so, wrote a piece.
Two years late.
He just he had just just now discovered what Broder knows, the power of the left-wing blogs and extremists and activists here who have become the Democrat base.
The Democrats, along with their allies in the media, create an alternative reality based on the news cycle.
The news cycle has been singular with derivatives since 2001.
That is destroy Bush.
Remember, Enron was going to destroy Bush, folks.
Remember that?
Enron was going to destroy Bush.
Didn't.
Nothing that they've tried has destroyed Bush.
So they create this alternative reality, and then they believe it themselves because it's what they want to be real.
So when the response to Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq, and soaring gasoline prices.
Those are the three elements of the latest cycle that they think explain the plummeting phone poll numbers for George W. Bush.
And those three things form the basis of their belief that Bush is falling apart, the Republicans are falling apart, and the Democrats can win.
Well, what they and again, pardon me for being redundant, but it's important.
What they fail still to realize is that they cannot create an alternative reality anymore.
They can amongst themselves, and they can live it, and they do.
Let's take Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Katrina and the reporting of the aftermath, we now know was totally bogus.
We know so much.
There weren't rapes, there weren't mass murders.
There wasn't total anarchy at the Superdome in the convention center.
The floodwaters did not become a toxic soup.
The city is already being repopulated, although not sufficiently fast for school bus Nagan.
More on that later.
He's very upset.
But Marty Gras is scheduled.
None of this was gonna we're gonna be down six months.
New Orleans might not ever come back.
Then the media is out giving themselves awards, and they're getting new shows and they're getting new assignments and they're getting cover stories in magazines about their social conscience.
When the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of Americans now know that it was all bogus.
There wasn't anything to it.
The fact that Bush's poll numbers are down now has nothing to do with the Hurricane Katrina response because the Hurricane Katrina response is responding.
It's working.
It's all coming together.
But they still think that America is stuck back in that first week after the hurricane still seeing those pictures in their minds.
Still blaming Bush for this, still blaming Republicans.
What's what really has, and this they are hopelessly incapable of seeing, what really has become known and became visible to a significant number of Americans is this.
That 60 years of a liberally dominated and run city was a shambles before the hurricane hit.
There was racism, there was massive poverty, there was discrimination, there was misery, unhappiness, and this is the exact opposite of what it should be.
In fact, I shared the story with you earlier this week, liberals in a funk they are hoping that the aftermath of Katrina would help them build on their existing poverty programs ain't happening.
Republicans in Congress aren't going for it, because what's become known is existing poverty programs for all these last 40 or 50 years failed dismally even been run by Democrats unchecked and unbridled for two or three generations.
So they can create this alternative reality of the Hurricane Katrina response being horrible and Bush's fault and by the way they can then give respectability to people like Lewis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton who want to go out there and say that the levies were blown up to destroy black New Orleans.
They give it credence when Pat Robertson comes up and says whoever that little thug down in Venezuela is ought to be taken out why it's news for a week Robinson's losing his mind.
Robertson is actually crackpot when Robertson says all these floods and hurricanes and earthquakes might represent the second coming in the last days they go bananas.
Oh, he's an absolute loony tune.
This Robertson, he's an idiot.
And they go down to New Orleans and they talk to people.
Do you think this is the last days?
Do you think there's a conspiracy down here to blow up the levees?
Meanwhile, Calypso Louie, who is ten times, a hundred times to average people now, a hundred times the crackpot that anybody on the right is, is given respectability.
He's going to do a million Brazilian gazillion man march.
and it's all going to be focused on the fact the levies are blown up and it's going to get covered and the media is going to give him respectability he's a bigger kook to the American people and worse he's a dangerous kook than Robertson could ever hope to be in the minds of most Americans media can't see this I ran this theory by a good liberal buddy of mine the other day.
When I meant when I drew this comparison between Calypso Lewis and Pat Robertson face went blank.
Never even thought of it that way never even considered it and I said okay go ahead and defend Farragand to me.
I want you to intellectually defend Farrakhan to me I want you to tell me where he's got a point I want you to tell me where it's important to hear what he has to say.
They just distinctively believe it because any enemy of Bush's is a friend of theirs.
And since he's out there saying Bush set the charges to blow up the levees, well, hey, on our side.
That's all we need to know.
What they fail to grasp is that the vast majority of the American people now do not trust them in the mainstream press, are very dubious and skeptical of what the mainstream press is reporting because it is so obvious.
obvious what their agenda is yet here's the I don't know if it's a Ms or Mr is Robin toner male or female.
I don't even know so I'll cover my best basis.
Here's Mr or Ms. Toner writing that the Hurricane Katrina aftermath is one of the things that's really uplifted the Democrats the real truth is in her own newspaper earlier this week liberals in a funk over the fact that they aren't making hay on rebuilding existing poverty programs because of this aftermath.
Now what's the next one?
The war in Iraq well let's take a look at the war in Iraq what's going on there the uh Iraqi National Assembly yesterday approved last minute changes to the draft constitution in an attempt to attract Sunni support before Saturday's nationwide referendum on the charter.
The changes endorsed by the President, Prime Minister, and U.S. officials who had pushed for them addressed Sunni concerns about the unity of uh Iraq and the persecution of former supporters of uh of Saddam Hussein, but it was not clear whether the amendments came in time to influence rank and file Sunni Muslim voters who until now have been urged by party leaders and clerics to vote against the Constitution.
Well, let me just let's get Iraq.
Sovereignty wasn't going to happen.
The elections we should postpone them.
We can't we can't guarantee security, and we don't even have all the polling places, the precinct are not open.
Remember John Kerry, we need to set that back, then the elections happened.
Remember the remember all the columns after those elections?
Maybe Bush was right.
No, that's not the respective perspective.
Maybe you were wrong.
Bush hadn't changed what he said.
Bush said these things are going to happen when he said they're going to happen, and they've happened when he said they were going to happen.
You guys have been the doubting Thomas's.
You've been the pessimist.
You've been the defeatist.
You've been saying it can't happen.
Everything that Bush said is going to happen has happened right on time.
And yet, maybe Bush was right.
No.
Maybe you were wrong.
Whatever, they miss all of this.
Now, this this news that the Iraqi National Assembly yesterday approved last-minute changes to the draft constitution, big loss for the Libs.
Big loss for the insurgents, big loss for the terrorists.
Wasn't supposed to happen.
Let me share with you a piece here from John Armour.
Now, John Armer is a First Amendment attorney, lives in North Carolina, Blue Ridge Mountains.
And he's uh has this piece posted at uh at uh what is it, newsbusters.
I think it's on newsbusters.
Uh is it newsbusters Yeah, that's that's Brent Bozell's uh website uh uh the arm of the Media Research Center.
And he writes this for two days, all parts of the American press have been reporting a constitutional compromise which has gained the support of a main Sunni political party.
With this compromise, it is expected that upwards of half the Sunnis, who are 20% minority in Iraq, will support its new constitution and it'll be ratified in the vote on Saturday.
Well, all well and good.
But hasn't anyone in the press recalled certain adventures of James Madison?
He was in all the papers at one time.
We in the United States have been through exactly the same process they're going through in Iraq, but no one in the American press has so far remembered and mentioned that fact.
There was a bitter fight between the Federalists and the anti-federalists in Philadelphia in 1787 whether we would have a new constitution at all.
And if so, what would be the powers of the new federal government?
When the Constitution was submitted to Congress for its review and afterwards to the states for their ratification, that same fight spilled out to the state capitals.
The Constitution missed defeat by only ten votes in Virginia, by only three votes in New York.
Ratification delegates in those two states and in a majority of the other states demanded the immediate promulgation of a bill of rights as the price of accepting the Constitution.
Any member of the press who has a marginally competent education in the history of the U.S. should know this.
I would wager that they don't know this.
But that's how the Bill of Rights came to be.
It was the result of an argument over the role and power of the federal government.
More than 200 state demands for amendments were placed in the hands of James Madison, a newly elected Congressman from Virginia.
He distilled them into 17 amendments, which passed the House of Representatives.
Twelve of those passed the Senate.
Eleven were ultimately adopted as the Bill of Rights.
And the 27th Amendment, by the way, ratified in 1992 was part of Madison's work too.
That's how far back it dates.
Why is this relevant today, Mr. Armor asks?
Well, the compromise struck in Iraq to assure ratification of his new constitution is exactly what happened in the United States between 1787 and 1789.
It makes more sense to American readers to explain foreign events as a compare and contrast With events here.
But that counts on somebody, anybody knowing in the American press, our American history, and recognizing the parallels.
But if they don't know it, they can't report it.
Anyone interested in the Bill of Rights as the price paid for ratification of the U.S. Constitution to read about it in the introduction to Robert Yates' secret proceedings and debates of the convention to form the U.S. Constitution.
Facsimile reprint, Birmingham Public Library, 1987.
And anyone who reads that introduction will understand more about current events in Iraq than the entire American press understands.
So all week long, oh they have to do a compromise.
Oh, this is bad news.
They're having to give up this and give, oh, this is bad as Sunnis.
They got to keep the Sunnis happy.
But it's exactly how these things happen.
And it's exactly how it happened here.
Point is all this is reported as bad news.
How many what was just a few short weeks ago?
This constitution wasn't going to make it.
They're not going to vote for it.
And the insurgents are going to try to stop it.
They're going to start blowing up people left and right.
They're going to they're a terrorists are going to make sure it doesn't happen.
Yet all these things continue to happen.
Now, the alternative reality, media creation is that we are losing in Iraq.
We're losing thousands every every month, whatever, that the Iraqis don't want what we're doing there.
They don't like us being there, that the terrorist insurgents are winning, and his constitution is simply a bush rubber stamp and being forced on them.
Pure and simple.
But the truth is what I just shared with you.
Now, as for rising gasoline prices, what can I say?
The gas price are going down.
Oil prices going down, gas prices are going down, and frankly, all of the hooting and screaming about those has died down quite a bit.
But as far as the mainstream press is concerned, why people are selling their SUVs left and right, and they're buying hybrids, and they're mad as hell at Bush and the oil price.
No, they understand what hurricanes do to supply and demand.
The press stuck in its alternative reality, which is a false one, and yet that's what they base Bush's problems on and the conservative crack up on, and they're almost guaranteed lock to win in 2006.
Well, lies don't carry you very far, folks.
Ask Bill Clinton.
Back in just a second.
What is what is that?
That sounds like somebody's wailing and it's like a sounds like a wildebeest in pain.
What song?
Okay, see what?
What s that's Baker's.
I don't hear this song enough to remember it.
It sounded like a wailing, moaning, in pain, wildebeest to me.
Just to give you an example of how I hear music that I'm not familiar with.
That's sound like woo.
That's what it sounded like to me.
It was distracting.
Well, I don't care what you do with it.
Uh play it on somebody else's show.
Uh ditto camera, didto cast soon with the iPod.
Oh, yeah, Sterley's Apples come out with their video iPod.
Well, we have Ditto casts soon.

You know, it would it would really be cool, but we've got, you know, I I don't they've made that deal.
I'm gonna have to look more to that deal.
I don't know.
See, with their podcasts, they demand it be given away with their podcasts at Apple, and I don't know that is ABC giving away lost in those other shows that are that are being are the buck ninety nine.
I don't know.
But uh it'll be interesting to see how this thing how this thing does, uh the video iPod.
But it's gonna change.
I mean, you know, Iger now running ABC in Disney, and uh uh it though the whole point of time shift viewing and watching when you want and delivering it in different ways.
I mean, we're in the midst of a huge media revolution here, folks.
We are at the cutting edge forefront of it here on uh on this program.
And to watch these dinosaurs on the left not get it and not understand it is just it is delectable.
All right, uh, here's what's coming up.
Well, I've got I've got school bus Nagan uh begging New Orleans evacuees to come back, having trouble repopulating the city.
We got Howard Dean last night on uh on on Letterman's show, uh, trying to explain Al Gore's beliefs on environmentalism and global warming.
And Dean will try to convince us all how global warming will lead to an ice age.
Uh it's it's it's hilarious.
We've got John Edwards, uh John Edwards uh has joined, I guess, the Other America.
He has joined a wealthy investment firm located in the Other America.
He's the guy with two Americas.
So there's all kinds of them.
Gore says he's not running for president now.
We got lots to do, plus your phone calls.
It's all coming up.
Stay glued as you are.
