Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
Have you people heard the latest?
Uh global warming is now going to lead to a mini ice age.
Have you seen that?
Europe, Europe's gonna be hardest hit.
It's uh there is, according to the WECOS, an explanation for this.
And it's just one of the exciting items on the agenda today.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
Here we are at the one and only Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I am America's anchor man, L. Rushbull.
All ready to serve humanity here on a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Here's the phone number if you'd like to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
The email address is Rush at EIB net.com.
I'll tell you what, three weeks ago, a week ago, you might have thought that all was lost, that the Democrats had totally skunked us all on the war with Iraq.
They had they had finally unified, and they had finally convinced everybody that it wasn't worth it.
We ought to bring our troops home.
After one presidential speech, the Democratic Party is falling apart.
It is literally falling apart on the issue.
First, you've got Hillary Clinton with that email that she sent out to 1,600 supporters or maybe a 1600 word email, whatever it was.
Jimmy Breslin in New York told you this yesterday, refers to her now as the king of fakery.
And I got to tell you this because where he went, nobody else will hear it.
He went on a liberal radio network today and said Hillary Clinton can kiss my butt.
He's also upset at uh her attempt to triangulate the Iraq war.
She's trying to follow in her president in her inner in her husband's footsteps.
The problem with triangulating the Iraq war is there's no center on it.
There isn't this this talk about you gotta go out, you gotta find the moderates.
That's how you win elections.
Well, when it comes to Iraq, there aren't any moderates.
There aren't any people who don't care about it.
They're either pro or against it.
And Mrs. Clinton I think it's just a sign.
Her political instincts are not what everybody thinks they are.
Her political instincts are not the king of the world.
She's not the smartest woman in the world.
Uh she is trying, in fact, trying to uh rewrite some pages from an old playbook herself.
It happens to be her husband's playbook.
And we also have John Mertha back on in action now.
Most U.S. troops will leave Iraq within a year because the army is broken and worn out and living hand to mouth.
Mirtha told a civic group.
Two weeks ago, Mirtha created a storm of comment when he called for U.S. troops to leave Iraq now.
He spoke to a group of community and business leaders in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
The same day President Bush said that troops would be withdrawn only after they've achieved victory.
Mirtha predicted most troops will be out of Iraq within a year.
I predict you'll make it look like we're staying the course.
Staying the course is not a policy.
I admit I made a mistake when I voted for the war.
I'm looking at the future of the United States military.
This is again uh uh partly a media creation as though Mirtha did a 180 only three weeks ago.
Mirtha's been anti-war for a month now and and is has been vocal about it.
But his uh his by the was a stunt, by the way, that and Howard Feynman's the source of this.
It was a stunt that Pelosi and Mertha cooked up to have that big announcement, which caused the media fire storm.
At any rate, Mirth is back out there and says, eh, but the army's broken and worn out.
This is the same day John Kerry's out there saying, none of us have ever talked about withdrawal.
We've never talked about an immediate.
We want a timetable for success.
The Democrats are all over the place.
Then after Mertha did what he said.
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has endorsed a proposal by Mertha calling for a quick pull out of U.S. troops from Iraq.
She backed the withdrawal plan proposed by Mertha.
Uh two weeks after he introduced his resolution calling for a pull out of troops within six months.
Pelosi threw her support behind the legislation.
She said, I'm endorsing what Mr. Mirtha is saying, which is that the status quo is not working, and that we need to have a plan that makes us safer and our military stronger and makes Iraq more stable.
I believe uh that uh what he has said has great wisdom.
While the president's digging a hole, Mr. Murtha is speaking for the light of day about the realities in Iraq.
Now it was just what?
Last Friday or how many two Fridays ago where they had a chance to vote on all this?
And only three Democrats showed up to vote for the whole Mirtha idea.
Only three of them.
Now two weeks later, Mirtha's back.
They're tired, they're old, they're worn out, they're living hand in mouth.
Two weeks later, Pelosi's, I endorse what Mertha said.
Well, Miss Pelosi, then you have a responsibility.
As the leader of the Democrats in the House, it is your responsibility to assemble your caucus and demand another vote and to go down and make this vote reality.
Except that's not what she's going to do.
She says she's not speaking for the caucus.
She's not speaking for the she's leaving it up to individual members to make up their own minds.
So what does this all mean?
It means that Democrats are, and Stenny Hoyer, who is her number two, disagrees with her.
Stanny Hoyer says pulling out now would be a huge error.
So three weeks ago it appeared the Democrats were unified, but I told you they weren't because they wouldn't even put their votes where their mouths are.
Then Bush comes out and makes this speech and has just nuked them, has just totally blown them to shreds, and now they're out there hand to mouth themselves.
They're all independent contractors.
Pelosi endorses Mertha, says we need to get out now, but she will not demand that her caucus vote that way.
She will not even demand that her caucus agree with her.
She's the leader, the minority leader for the United States House of Representatives.
She is the leader of the Democrats.
Now you were elected, Miss Pelosi, to lead your Democrats.
And if you're going to make a statement like this, you gotta then lead them and get them to go along with you.
That's why you are the leader.
If you're gonna just run out and make these statements and then not demand that your caucus follow suit, not ask for a vote, and in fact, your number two is going to disagree with you by 180 degrees.
What good is your leadership?
Well, what we know is this is not about leadership, and it's not about the Democrats voting one way or the other.
It's about fundraising and is about keeping the uh the most fringe and wacko elements of their base.
Uh just placated so they'll keep sending money.
Uh but as far as actually turning their policy into votes, turning their position into policy, they don't have the guts.
They don't have the guts.
This is why these people can't be defended or or or um uh trusted to defend the country.
Can you imagine if these people were running the country with this kind of thing going on now?
These people would abandon their own policies.
These people would say, you know, like Carries, well, I voted for it before I voted against.
Imagine if Kerry were president and he sends troops over to Iraq and then pulls them back, says, I never sent them over there.
The Congress wanted this done.
Congress lied to me.
I knew it was a mistake, I listened to the wrong people, but I'm pulling them out now.
Somebody would disagree with him and he'd change his mind.
Guess who else doesn't want us to leave Iraq?
Yes, who else?
The French prime minister, Dominique de Villapin.
He's getting all worried because he knows the truth now, Devilopen.
You can't get out of there now.
Why it would cause so much instability in the region?
Why, why it would be a disaster.
Well, I thought John Kerry thought we should always take the advice of the French.
I thought Mertha and these Democrats believed that the French and Germans had all the answers, the European community and the international community, and here's DeVilipans say, Oh, no, no, no, you can't get out now.
So winning would affect the region too.
Devil Pan says you can't pull out now, that would mean we would lose.
That would mean De Villapan now knows that Iraq would become what Afghanistan was, a terrorist headquarters.
It would become a terrorist nation.
By the way, and I'm going to explore this in greater detail as the program unfolds, but you know, we can conduct a test.
We got a side-by-side A and B test that we can conduct.
One nation, Iraq, one nation, Iran.
We're dealing with Iraq our way, the conservative way, the American way, and the rest of the world is dealing with Iran its way.
As a Pisers, negotiators, the State Department way, the carry way.
The Democratic Party way, the liberal way.
I ask you, which nation is closer to becoming a nuclear threat and a genuine threat to the world, Iraq or Iran.
There's no question.
Iran is.
They're being dealt with the same way Kerry and his crowd wanted to deal with Iraq.
We got it.
It's folks, it's it's it's just up there for everybody to see plain as day, and I'll spell it out in greater detail as the program unfolds.
I mentioned yesterday that the Democrats got themselves into this mess starting in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War is where the Democratic Party and the 60s turned virulently anti-war and pacifist and in the process anti-American uh military, anti-American superpower status, and really they gave up the notion of any concept of American exceptionalism.
America is guilty.
America is to blame.
America is at fault.
Well, it all started in the Vietnam War, and they think that that position back then launched them to great heights.
It launched them to great power.
They have a misguided notion of their own history.
I mentioned yesterday that George McGovern was the Democratic Party presidential nominee in 1972.
And here's the relevant part of his acceptance speech at the convention in July 72 of Miami Beach.
And within 90 days of my inauguration, every American soldier, every American prisoner will be out of the jungle and out of their cells, and then home in America where they belong.
So join with me in this campaign.
Lend Senator Eagleton and me your strength and your support, and together we will call America home to the ideals that nourished us from the beginning.
From secrecy and deception in high places, come home America.
From military spending so wasteful it weakens our nation, come home America.
McGovern's words were essentially echoed by Mertha on November 17th and yesterday by the Democratic leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi.
And look where it got McGovern.
McGovern lost in a land slide in 1972, in case people have forgotten, and that's exactly where the Democrats are headed today.
Do you realize since 1980, the Democratic Party has not garnered over 50% of the vote in a popular presidential election?
Since 1980, no Democrat candidate has ever gotten more than 50% of the vote.
And yet they claim they're the mainstream.
They claim to sit up there on these high pedestals and determine who's qualified for the Supreme Court because he's in or out of the mainstream, who's qualified to be there or there, who's qualified to run the country, they are not the mainstream.
We'll take a quick time out and be back after this.
Stay with you're listening to Rush Limbaugh on the Excellence in Podcasting Network.
You are listening to Manheim's steamroller Christmas music.
Part of the bump rotation all month long during one of our favorite times of the year here at the EIB network, 800 two eight two two eight eight two.
If you'd like to be on the program, couple items from the New York Times.
First, not a bad story, actually, uh, from Elizabeth Bumiller.
Gaining control in Iraq and regaining support at home.
It's a news analysis piece.
While there may be Democratic gains in the Senate, both parties doubt that the Republicans will lose control.
Democrats did not dispute the White House estimate of the number of competitive house races next year, but they said it was far too early to dismiss Iraq as a major factor in the elections.
These are just a couple of excerpts.
In response to the Democrats who have demanded a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, the president said setting a deadline would send a message around the world that America was weak and would vindicate the terrorists'tactics of beheadings and suicide bombings and mass murder and invite new attacks on America.
Between the lines, a document that the White House put out offers an unusually candid assessment of what the administration still faces in Iraq.
Let me summarize the piece for you.
One of the, if you live in the Beltway, one of the theories, one of the little bits of scuttlebutt that's going around is that everything the president's doing here is oriented toward the 06 elections, that he's hearing and reading the polls.
and he's got to do something that the Republicans in Washington are getting concerned because their re-election chances uh uh this is before yesterday.
Their re-election chances were looking iffy, and there were some people that actually thought that the Republicans are gonna lose both the House and the Senate.
And the point of Bumiller's uh uh piece here is this.
The President's speech yesterday and his pushback in Iraq is not driven by concerns about Republicans losing control of Congress next year.
Uh Bumiller points out that both sides of the aisles agree that's not likely to happen.
Instead, uh Bush's pushback is is uh uh driven more by the worries that support for the war could drop enough by 2008 that Congress would hold back funding of the troops in a cut-and-run strategy.
It's not at all about electoral politics.
The president's doing what he's doing here because he thinks it's the right thing to do.
And all these Democrats have been looking at this as nothing more than election tool, and they thought they had convinced the president to do so as well.
And what the Bumiller piece points out is that he's not looking at it as an election tool in any way, shape, manner, or form.
And I just I I tell you, folks, the similarities are more uh they're closer to the McGovern model than they are to anything else you can come up with for today's modern Democrat Party.
We've had the polls, we've shared with you the uh the the overwhelming numbers of Americans who think the Democrats' actions are purely political, that are harming the uh morale of the troops, and it's it's you look at this and you analyze it real carefully, and you will see that the Democrats are starting to sound just like McGovern.
They're starting to sound just like the anti-war Democrats of the sixties, which they have been for quite a while, but the last three weeks they've really been flexing their muscles on this because they think it's a winning issue.
Well, it's not.
They think that that's what drove Nixon out of office along with Watergate.
They do believe that they helped turn the tide against public sentiment for Vietnam, but they weren't rewarded for it at the ballot box.
And and I it's amazing to watch these people repeat their same steps into hell.
It's amazing to watch them repeat their same trek to the quicksand.
And that's exactly what they're doing.
Now there was a rotten editorial in the New York Times today.
Not gonna bother reading it to you, but I did compose a potential letter to the editor, the New York Times, and I'm thinking of sending.
This is just a brief outline of it.
R. E. Today's lead editorial, New York Times.
The President never said the war is going just fine.
This is an urban legend that you people have helped propagate.
He has from day one advised that this confrontation would continue for years, if not decades.
You at the New York Times have such a vested interest in his and our failure in this mission that I plead with you to recuse yourselves from coverage of the war.
If a Supreme Court justice can be asked to recuse himself from a case, why not an employee of the New York Times and the Schultzberger family?
Because it's becoming so obvious you are the DNC Times.
You are not the New York Times.
You are not even truthful in your editorials, much less most of the news pages.
So anything right and proper would be if you recused yourself from further coverage because you have shown that you have a conflict of interest.
You are invested in our defeat.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
John Kerry showed up on the Today Show today.
Matt Wauer was talking to him.
It's interesting.
Today, Kerry did not mention the words winning or victory or success as he did yesterday.
Those words must not attested well with Democrat focused groups, folks.
First question.
Senator, the President talked about the political process as well and laid that out in his plan for victory.
And I've been reading the key points of the plan that you laid out back on November 10th.
And in all honesty, except for the fact that you want to withdraw 20,000 forces immediately following elections in December, it doesn't seem you have all that much disagreement on the big items on that list.
Actually, we we do have a disagreement.
Number one, I want to set a target for the transfer of authority.
For instance, we ought to be able to say that within the next two months or three months we're gonna transfer uh the responsibility for the control of Baghdad to Iraqi troops.
Or by such and such a time, it is our goal.
You don't have to set a specific uh target that's going to be adhered to no matter what.
There are obviously uh, you know, variations on what happens.
And I don't have time for the next bite, but Lauer pressed Kerry on exactly uh his what exactly his differences with Bush are.
And uh Carrie says the Iraqis are not willing to stand up and defend themselves.
Uh it it got it got to the point uh where in in this interview uh Kerry starts to answer a question that Lauer asked at a Laura said, Look, with all due respect, which means no respect.
Uh with all due respect, uh uh you did say just that.
The other you it didn't go well for Kerry today.
He was followed by uh Mary Madeline, who just kicked butt on the Today Show today.
She happened to be interviewed by the Perky One, uh Katie Courick.
We'll have that and all the rest of the program coming up right after this.
Don't go away.
Don't go away.
I love this techno music.
I just always have.
Ditto Cam is coming up, by the way.
A reminder for those of you who wear the uniforms.
If you're stationed anywhere in the world.
You are a member of the U.S. military.
You have to wear the uniform.
You can be undercover, you can be special ops.
Don't care.
If you want, we would love for you to register as uh a part of our adopt a soldier program.
Uh it's easy to do.
We're trying to build as big a database as we can of qualified military personnel around the world.
Simply go to www.rushlimbaugh.com.
It's right there near the top of the page.
It's a it's just a little form that you have to fill out.
It's a way we can verify that you're actually military so we can uh keep cheapskates from jumping in on the deal.
Uh if you are a family member of a military person, you can register that person yourself if uh the military member of your family is not able to do so.
We're gonna match donors in the Adopt a Soldier program with all these troops around the world and give them complimentary one-year subscriptions to the uh uh newsletter, Limbaugh Letter, and uh Rush 24 7 website, which is practic it's encyclopedic, uh, is what this website is.
We're eager to share it with uh with all of these people around the world uh given the roiling political conditions going on in this country.
So please pass the word to all military people that you know it's just easy to do.
Go to Rush Limbaugh.com, sign up and register, and uh as soon as this happens, we'll match you with a waiting donor in the Adopt a Soldier program.
Now, I'm not gonna play any more John Kerry's Well, I I I do have one more Kerry soundbite, but uh this it's it's it's actually uh a waste of time.
John Kerry is a spokesman for defeat.
And in the final analysis, why do we care what he says anyway?
He lied repeatedly about Vietnam 30 years ago.
He lied about war crimes on our forces back then.
Um war crimes our forces never committed.
I mean, when you stop and think about it, John Kerry and his party have sought to prevent victory, and now they are complaining that victory hasn't come fast enough.
They their policy was to prevent victory.
Three weeks ago, they claimed victory, which means our defeat.
The president pushed back yesterday.
Now they're all discombobulated.
Now they're complaining that victory hasn't come fast enough.
I mentioned moments ago that Mary Madeline took Carrie apart after Kerry appeared on the Today Show.
She just sent me a funny note.
She said, Thanks for saying I kicked butt, but honest to God, I couldn't rebut Carrie because I have no idea what he was saying, except that I know he was against it before he was for it.
Other than that, I couldn't make head or tails of what he was saying.
Well, I know that happens to a lot of people.
You listen to John Kerry and you don't know what he's saying.
But I do.
I know what John Kerry's saying because he's a liberal, and I know liberals like every square inch of my glorious naked body.
And so what we've done here is a public service, ladies and gentlemen.
We have prepared a little audio tape here of John Kerry.
Next time you hear him, I want you to think of this.
Here's Kerry making an appeal to the people of America, making an appeal to the Democratic Party.
But this is what John Kerry really means with everything that he says.
I don't care what it is.
Everything he says can be boiled down to this.
Well, post it at Rush Limbaugh.com.
But that's John Kerry.
That's what he says.
Uh that's what he means, regardless what he says, and when he speaks, uh he's speaking for the entire Democratic Party and their entire uh policy.
Uh thought it'd just be easy.
You know, the Shakespeare said it, brevity is the soul of wit.
And right there, I just figured it's easier in 60 seconds to tell you what John Kerry is always saying when it takes him four and five minutes to say whatever he's trying to say.
We can boil it down to 60 seconds, and that was it.
All right, let's go back to the audio sound bites to the today's show today.
Katie Courick talking to Mary Madeline.
First question.
So, what is your assessment about what Senator Kerry just said that basically the very presence of U.S. troops is one of the driving forces of the insurgency in Iraq?
And an estimated timetable for troop withdrawal is something that really needs to be discussed and debate.
An estimated timetable.
Anyway, here's what she said.
It has been discussed and debated, and John Kerry was against that position before he was for it.
He used to be for increasing the troop levels.
Now he's for diminishing the troop levels.
The notion that he or Cy Hirsch or any of these uh partisans would make about these generals being scared witless to tell the president or the vice president or the secretary of defense what they need is competently, patently uh absurd.
You've heard from Casey and Avazate and Vines and uh Pace and all every one of them have said they've gotten everything that they have wanted to get the job done.
And they know better on the ground how to get this job done than people sitting in Washington.
And that's why two-thirds of the people of the Iraqis and the soldiers on the ground in Iraq have confidence that they're going to succeed in this mission, versus two-thirds of the academics and journalists in this country do not think we're going to succeed.
By the way, Mary has stumbled into some.
There is a new mantra.
There's a there's a new uh template out there today, and that uh I've seen it in the Washington Post, maybe the New York Times, two different newspapers.
I'm not sure which two.
Doesn't matter, they're all liberal.
Uh Bush finally on the same page as his generals.
That's the new mantra.
Bush finally on page, same page with his generals, fulfilling their myth notion.
That the generals have been pleading with Bush, take us out, get us out, we can't win.
It's over.
So Bush makes a speech yesterday, and the reaction is nothing new, just a rehash, but Bush is now on the same page with the generals.
They're not going to let go of it.
They're making up news, folks.
They live in an alternative reality.
They're still pushing something that isn't factual and isn't true because they too, as the Democrats are invested in our defeat.
They're liberals.
They want to do anything they can to get their power back and their town back.
Washington is theirs.
Never forget this.
As Democrats and liberals, they are born entitled to power.
This is an interruption they don't understand, and they are blaming everybody but themselves for this.
And their total occupation now is obsession with getting that power back.
Next question to Mary Madeline from Katie Couric.
The president talked about the progress being made.
When it comes to training Iraqi forces, which I think everybody agrees is really a critical component, that transition of power to enable troops from this country to come home.
The president said there are 120 Army and police combat battalions operating in Iraq.
That's roughly 96,000 troops.
But why, if that's the case, is the violence not declining?
Is the very presence of U.S. forces in Iraq fueling this insurgency?
See, another mantra is this.
That our presence is causing all this.
We created the terrorists.
Bush created them just by going over there.
We've made them so mad this is this is quintessentially liberal.
Quintessentially appeaser oriented.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They were like this with the Soviet Union.
Don't don't don't say that.
Don't call them evil empire.
Oh, no, they're gonna nuke New York.
Oh, oh, and they got scared.
Can't tell the truth about your enemies.
No, no, no, that will make them mad.
And by showing up and defending ourselves, that makes them mad.
We shouldn't do this.
So this mantra, our very presence is fueling the insurgency.
Here's Mary Madeline's reply.
I don't know how many different ways to uh say to Democrats how much progress has been made in just a year.
There are over 212,000 Iraqis trained.
The two-thirds of those battalions are working side by side with the Americans.
A third of them are working by themselves.
In March, there were 400, 500 tips from uh locals.
Now there are 4700 tips.
That's human intelligence on the ground.
There's progress every day being made, standing up the Iraqi ar armies and security forces, and there's progress being every day on the political front.
We're about in two weeks from tomorrow about to have the first self-determined elections in that region.
They have the first and only uh constitution in that region.
The per capita income is doubled.
It's up thirty percent from where it was before the year.
There's progress on every single front.
But Katie Courick, who was immune to the truth, said, but as you know, Mary, you know the poll numbers are not really working in the president's favor.
And and before before before you you sigh so audibly invisibly, Mary, let me ask you, I know that the latest Gallup poll shows that the president's job approval rating is at its lowest ever.
It's at 37 percent.
Why, if progress is being made, why do you think there seems to be a disconnect between what's going on in Iraq and how the American people are perceiving this war?
For eight, ten months now, the uh Democrats have been saying the president lied, the president lied, the president lied, with no evidence whatsoever, no shred of information in that same period of time, the president's credibility has dropped twenty points.
Now he's fighting back.
Let's look at the polls.
You want to talk about polls?
Let's look at the polls in Iraq.
Eighty percent of the Iraqis, eighty percent of Iraqis who are living there feel uh hope for their future feel optimistic.
Sixty-seven percent of the soldiers in Iraq feel uh optimistic about our success.
So odd, there's a disconnect.
That's right.
But the people who are living there who are waging this war feel optimistic about the success.
The people here who are bombarded with relentless demagoguery from the Democrats, and frankly, uh a disproportionate uh view of what's going on in Iraq from the mainstream media, and it's affecting the polls, that's right.
So uh I'm uh uh I knew what Mary was gonna say in this answer.
She is very polite.
Had I been there when I got this question, had I gotten this question I almost wish I could go on one of these shows and get these questions.
How do you explain the president's poll numbers being so how how do you explain this disconnect?
I would sit there and I would say to Katie Courick, you know something?
You pose the greater threat to the future of this country than anything George Bush has ever done.
Because you are nothing more than a slave to the Democratic Party.
You look at these polls and you're joyful about these polls, Miss Courick.
Why don't you admit that to me?
You're happy to be able to report these polls.
You want to you want to take credit for having created and caused this.
You don't realize what we face.
It's because of people like you, we're gonna need a couple of three more 9-11s before the whole country gets on board because you're trying to make everybody believe this is a worthless cause, has no purpose, and it's only being done for Bush and Halliburton to get oil.
It's irresponsible what you've done.
You people in the mainstream press and your alliance with the Democratic Party is directly responsible for this disconnect, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
I would just take it.
I would boy, if it would have been me, I would have just taken it right.
But of course, I did that once, and that's why I've not been invited back on the show.
Be back after uh this stay with us.
Yes, yes, yes, be patient, my friends.
Ditto Cam will be coming up.
Uh Brian will in fact we'll turn it on and uh the right as the next hour is beginning.
So sit tight.
It'll be coming up.
Let's go to the phones, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Hey, Bill, glad you called.
You're uh up first today on the EIB network.
Hi.
Let me preface the gist of this conversation with a little statement here.
I have a son that's in Iraq.
He's stationed in Iraq.
He's been over there almost a year right now.
He went over there with no political preference one way or the other, okay?
He was really very naive in the political scene of things.
Now, after uh Mertha, and I won't even justify him or dignify him with the name of Mr. because I get a call that night after his conversation or his statements to the United States of America.
Get off.
And my son reads them on the internet.
And he says, What what in the world is going on over there, Dad?
I mean, uh he he hears all these little rumblings and all this stuff.
Now you got somebody that's supposedly high up that that apparently is knows what he's talking about.
Start telling everybody that they need to get these guys out of here, and that what they're doing over there is essentially useless.
And my son's sitting there saying, Well, look, I got friends of mine that are going out every day.
Some of them are getting shot at, they're getting bombed.
And What are we doing this for?
Now, the whole gist of the the whole thing with uh my son and his political affiliation, that's is a very common thing that was going on with all the younger military people that went over there.
And he's telling me that I'll tell you what, Dad, most of these guys are becoming Republicans because they're sick and tired of being stranded out here, and that's exactly what they feel like.
They're being stranded alive with by the Democratic Party, because they just don't seem to care.
All they want them to do.
What do you tell your son, though, when he calls and tells you about all this?
What do you what do you read?
Oh, I I I tell him what I really think.
I said most of those people probably have parents that are cousins because they can't think straight.
That it's obviously there's some in reading out our system.
No, but I mean Do you tell him that that's not the majority view of the country?
Do you tell him the Democrats are doing this?
You tell him tell him, son, notice this because you're learning who Democrats and liberals are.
They will sell you out, they will sell their country out, they will do anything for power.
Do you tell your son?
Tell your son that you're learning, you're seeing exactly who liberals in this country are and what they're made of.
He's sitting here right now, he's over there.
He's he's coming back home probably in January, is when he's gonna get released out of Iraq.
But he's wanting to go back.
Now, I don't know why he's wanting to do this, to be honest with you, because you go over there and all he hears is this crap that's coming out of the democratic uh mouth of of stupidity.
Well, see, now wait a minute, wait a minute, I gotta stop you.
You know why they do he does it because he loves it.
Number one, he does it because he loves his country.
Number two, and number three, he wants to help.
You know, and that's the point you're making.
There he he is in the process of being demoralized by being exposed to all this crap, which actually is a minority view in this country.
Let me ask you look, I I I've got to ask you some uh uh Bill, real quick, because time is running now.
Have you registered your son in the Adopt a Soldier program?
No, not yet, but I will do it.
I just heard it today as I was listening to your program, and I will have him put in there.
Are you a computer user yourself?
Oh, yes, yeah.
All right, all right.
Well, do that because that one of the best ways you know, this the the one of the points I'm trying to say too much too soon here because time is going away.
One of the one of the the the reasons for this program is the American people are fed up, just as your son is fed up with listening to these Democrats go to the microphones every day and basically sell the country out and sell out the troops while saying they support them.
And they want some way, the people do to show their support for the troops.
And a caller like you suggested this adopt a soldier program, and we've got it set up, and so there are people that are donating one-year subscriptions to this uh website to my newsletter.
All we have to do is get as many military people around the world qualified, and a family member can do it.
There's uh just certain questions we have to ask to verify that the person being proposed here is an actual member of the military so that we don't have uh you know a bunch of tightwat liberals sneaking in here trying to get free subscriptions.
But it's r it's not complicated at all.
Uh and and if your son has access to a computer, and it probably does at some point of the day in Iraq, then he'll be able to access my website and get the real story of the attitudes about the military, about the people in this country, other than the John Merthers and the ones that you uh you've cited.
So please don't waste any time and and and do that because it's it is a it's it's one of many antidotes, but it's readily available to you.
I appreciate the call.
We gotta take a quick time out and be back right after this.
So our broadcast engineer down here, Brian wanted to help out with the show today.
He's one of the little helpers, just sent me a story he didn't think I saw about the guy who was uh founder convicted uh having sex with a horse.
Uh there's been an adjudication of the case, but I have it.
It it's here in the stack.
I just with all this important stuff going, I didn't want to lead the program with a horse sex story, but Brian was afraid I might forget it, so he wanted a little help out there.
Thank you.
Appreciate it, Brian.
