Time Text
And we are back having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have L. Rushbo.
Here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, this a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations.
On a daily basis, latest opinion audit.
We're due for a new one before the end of the year, by the way.
The latest opinion audit from the Sullivan Opinion Auditing Group in Sacramento, documented now to be almost always right, 98.5% of the time.
You want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
Okay, here's Brian's story.
Man pleads guilty in horse sex case.
Now we've been following this case.
We told you about this case from the very first stages of it.
Uh it's dateline Seattle, but it actually uh occurred in the uh in the community of and I'm not sure how you pronounce this uh Enum Claw or Enum Claw, it's E N U M C Enum Claw, somebody here knows Enum Claw.
Interesting, uh interesting name for a town where horse sex took place.
At any rate, uh a man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse sex case.
James Michael Tate, 54 of Enham Claw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission.
Tate admitted to offers that he uh officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with a friend, Kenneth Pinion, to have sex with a horse.
Tate was videotaping the episode when Pinion suffered internal injuries that led to his death.
Now, the mind can only wander during or after hearing such a statement.
Tate was videotaping the episode when his friend, Kenneth Pinion, suffered internal injuries that led to his death.
Tate pleaded guilty Tuesday, was given a one-year suspended sentence, a $300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no contact with the neighbors.
No contact with the neighbors.
What about no contact with the horse?
The prosecutor's office said that no animal cruelty charges were filed because there was no evidence of injury to the horse.
Now do you know what this means?
It means that it's okay to have sex with a horse in your own barn.
As long as the horse doesn't complain.
How else is anybody gonna know if the horse is hurt if the horse doesn't complain?
How's the horse going to get hurt anyway?
Somebody tell me that.
At any rate, that's Brian's story.
Now on to our global warming story, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
This is if this is just getting better.
Uh this can be summed up by saying that global warming is causing global cooling, which may lead to a mini ice age.
Uh this is from New Scientists.com and the Guardian, the UK Guardian, also has uh a version of this story.
If this comes to pass, Great Britain is in big trouble.
Europe is gonna be hardest hit.
The ocean current, the Gulf Stream that gives Western Europe its relatively balmy climate is stuttering, raising fears that it might fail entirely and plunge the continent into a mini ice age.
The dramatic finding comes from a study of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic, which found a 30% reduction in the warm currents that carry water north from the Gulf Stream.
The slowdown, which has long been predicted as a possible consequence of global warming, will give renewed urgency to intergovernmental talks in Montreal this week on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
Harry Bryden at the Southampton Oceanography Center in the UK, whose group carried out the analysis, says that he's not sure yet if the change is temporary or if it signals a long-term trend.
We don't want to don't want to say the circulation will shut down, but we're nervous about our findings.
They have come as quite a surprise.
Now, here's how all this is supposed to going to work.
The North Atlantic is dominated by the Gulf Stream, currents that bring warm water north from the tropics.
At around 40 degree north latitude, which is the same as New York and Portugal, it's where New York and Portugal are, the current divides.
Some water heads southwards in a surface current known as the subtropical gyre or girl, While the rest continues north, leading to warming winds that raise European temperatures by five to ten degrees Celsius.
But when Bryden's team measured north-south heat flow last year using a set of instruments strung across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to the Bahamas, they found that the division of the waters appeared to have changed since previous surveys in 57, 81, and 92 from the amount of water in the subtropical and the flows southwards at depth, they calculate the quantity of warm water flowing north had fallen by around 30%.
Now, you might be asking yourself, okay, how is global warming causing this cooling?
Well, the first thing you have to understand is that global warming explains everything.
Global warming explains why Bush sent troops to Iraq.
Global warming explains what happened to New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina.
Global warming is said to be the reason for everything.
Global warming is a political issue.
Global warming is a political issue, and as such, it cannot die.
It will not die.
It is an issue that leftists around the world are carrying in their hip pockets and trumpeting from their mouths as a means of doing their best to destroy or weaken capitalist industrial societies.
Now, the theory on this, as I understand it, now, I am not a scientist.
But I'll tell you as as they explain this.
What happens is this warm water from the Gulf Stream flows north and obviously it cools.
And as it cools, as it gets north, it sinks.
And it it interacts with another current in the deep that brings it back down toward the equator and back to the Gulf Stream, and that's like the conveyor belt.
So if that water stops sinking, then it stops being conveyed back and then stops being returned on the south to north part of the conveyor belt.
Now you say, okay, wait a minute, Rush.
Global warming says that we're already losing a bunch of glaciers up there, and the glaciers are melting.
And because the glaciers are melting, uh that ought to be putting a whole lot of cool water in in the in the area where it's not staying cool enough.
Well, the explanation for this is that the melting water from the ice caps is fresh water.
It is not saline.
And what's happening is that the fresh water is diluting the saline content of the Atlantic in the northern regions here of that conveyor belt where the Gulf Stream drops to the cooler section, comes back, ends up flowing north again as warm water.
And as the saline content of the North Atlantic is diluted, the Gulf Stream warm water that cools doesn't sink as deep.
Because there's a difference in weight and mass between saline and fresh water.
And if saline solution of the saline content is diluted, then that's what they're worried about.
They're worried.
But now interestingly, this is the first I've heard of this, although they say they've been predicting it for all these years.
But here you have global warming, which is causing the melting of the ice caps, which is going to lead to an ice age.
Now, the bottom line is a lot of people have been just as recently as 1979, Newsweek had a cover, the coming ice age.
And then in the 80s, nope, we're going to make this global warming because uh uh it's never 30 degrees in June, but it can be 65 in July or in January, and so global warming will be much more believable to people.
But if you tell people we're having an ice age and it's 105 degrees when it's supposed to be 105 degrees, nobody's going to believe it.
But if we tell them global warming is happening and the sun's out in New York or Michigan or wherever, and it happens to be 65 or 70 a couple of days in January, as it always is, uh, then we'll be able to sell that.
So this whole concept of global warming has been sold since the eighties, and it's been sold as, well, you know, we can't really predict it, we can't guarantee it, but we don't have time to pretend otherwise.
We don't have time to wait, because if we wait and it turns out to be true, we're doomed.
Our goose is cooked.
Well, the Kyoto Protocol came along.
We didn't sign on to that.
There hasn't really been a whole lot of, at least as far as the wackos are concerned, uh concerted, devoted effort to deal with global warming.
So now they say that the Gulf Stream is down by 30%.
And the result of this, by the way, if this happens, is that in the next 10 to 12 years, Europe's average temperature will decline one degree Celsius.
One degree.
Now, I that is not a mini ice age.
One degree Celsius is not a mini ice age.
But regardless, let's say they're right about this.
Let's say that all this happens to be true.
Here we have global warming, which I guess the predominant factor here would be the ice caps melting, because they're that that's what's supposedly get in the way of everything.
These glaciers and ice caps are melting and they're weakening the saline content of seawater.
Now, I I have another question, and I look, I'm not a scientist, and so I'm not afraid to ask what some of you scientists might think are dumb questions.
But if an iceberg at the North Pole is fresh water, I want to know where it was made and how it got there.
How can an iceberg in in ocean water be fresh water?
I understand how when, you know, uh all water gets uh it can rain fresh water over the ocean because the whole evaporation process and condensation process actually distills it.
Uh but I don't understand how an iceberg can be fresh water.
But it must be because they're saying so.
So the icebergs melt, and that weakens the saline.
That causes the Gulf Stream flow to be interrupted and perhaps stopped, and the result is everybody's going to freeze their tushes as a result of global warming.
So they've got a hard PR cell here because now they're saying that the worst outcome of all this uh would be a mini ice age as a result of global warming.
I just want to keep you up to speed on where they are headed with all this.
Meanwhile, NOAA has made it plain, national uh open o uh ocean uh atmospheric uh oceanic atmospheric association, it's a government agency, hurricane people.
No evidence whatsoever global warming has anything to do with any increasing hurricane activity or intensity.
Quick timeout, back with more after this.
You're listening to Rush Limbaugh on the excellence in podcasting network.
I told you I was out in California last Saturday, and I'm when I played golf with some guys, and uh one of the guys hadn't seen him.
I say, hey, Rush.
Look, are you gaining a little weight?
And I said, uh, maybe a little.
I've been having Democrats for lunch a lot lately.
Ha ha ha ha.
One more thing on this global warming business, folks.
I have not uh don't don't get confused.
I'm not done a 180 and I'm starting to buy this.
I believe what may be happening could be happening.
This this conveyor belt business with the Gulf Stream and uh being interrupted.
We've had ice ages on this planet, in case you don't know that.
And we've had ice ages long before man was ever industrial, before we started burning all these fossil fuels and so forth.
I have not abandoned my belief that whatever is going on is not caused by us.
I do not believe that prosperity, technological advancement, uh, and and Western democracies and civilizations uh are causing all these weather fluctuations.
I think the Earth's climate is is more complicated than we can possibly understand, but certainly we cannot control it.
We cannot make it rain when we want to.
We cannot stop it from raining.
We can't do anything where the weather's concerned other than go somewhere else.
If this stuff is happening out there and if these icebergs are melting, uh it's happened before.
It has happened long, and all these systems are cycles and they repeat themselves.
We've had ice ages.
If you're in France, don't worry about it.
You can burn cars.
You got all kinds of cars in France you can burn to stay warm.
Another upside, summertime, not going to be nearly as hot.
All these thousands of deaths that happen in Europe in the summertime because of uh no air conditioning.
You may not need air conditioning if we get this mini ice age.
There's an upside to all of this.
But the idea that we are causing this, do not fear.
I have not wavered, not changed from any of that.
I just think these these wacko environmentalists take these naturally occurring climactic cycles, climatic cycles, and and try to blame uh primarily America and other civilized, civilized industrialized nations uh for all this, and it's purely political.
But these things are going to happen, and if if this is happening, there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Snurdly says, Well, I mean, head up there and just dump a bunch of salt and there's nothing we can do to stop this if it's happening, because there's nothing we've done to cause it.
It's but it is an interesting uh uh fact.
And now if you start reading the right places, you can find a lot of scientists who actually do believe that we are nearing the end of a solar warming cycle, uh, and that could be uh uh a factor here in in whatever uh new sense of global cooling is uh is now being uh forecast uh by people.
Anyway, uh here's Debbie in San Rafael, California, as we go back to the phones.
Nice to have you and welcome.
Hi, Rush, how are you?
Uh couldn't be better, thank you.
That's good.
I just wanted to call and say thank you, and also to say publicly to the president thank you for five finally fighting back on all this stuff um with the troops in Iraq.
My son uh graduated from UC Davis, he chose to become a Marine Corps officer.
He has been in Ramadi.
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Your son graduated UC Davis and joined the military.
How did Yes?
Wait, wait, wait, wait just a second.
How did UC Davis miss your son?
This is not supposed to happen.
No graduate of UC Davis is supposed to do anything other than live in a commune and eat organic green beans.
Well, Sunday Rush, I'll email you.
UC Davis tried to uh get my son kicked out uh out of there on a plagiarism charge which was unfounded, which would have kept him out of the military.
So they tried their damnedest to keep him from becoming an officer in the Marine Corps.
But he prevailed and um he was commissioned in 03.
He's uh infantry officer because if he says why else become a Marine.
And um he got back on Easter Sunday.
He was supposed to be leaving with his unit this next week for uh seven months in uh Asia uh doing some training exercises, and they are putting the Marines are putting together some unit that is going over to Iraq for twelve months, and my going there, so he's being sent to Iraq.
Well, he volunteered to give up his spot going to Asia so he could go to back to Iraq.
And he called us night before last.
We just said goodbye to him Sunday night, thinking that we weren't gonna see him till July, and he called Sunday night and he said, I just want to let you know that I volunteered today to go back to Iraq for twelve months, and he could hear the dead silence on the phone from his mom because even though I'm very proud of him and I know they're doing the right thing over there, it's you know, very scary.
And he said, Mom, I'm doing the right thing.
This is where we need to be.
I'm trained to do this.
You know, they're asking for volunteers of officers, and he said, I'm going.
I'd much rather be in Iraq for twelve months than doing training exercises for seven months in, you know, Asia.
And you know what?
I I totally applaud him, and I am so tired of all, especially where I live, everybody thinking that we're there because of the oil, or we're there because of the Bush family, or you know, we're there because Bush had to settle some score for his father.
We're there because there are terrorists there.
And as my son said, they'd slit your throat if they stood next to you for more than five seconds.
They they are terrorists to their own people, and we must be in Iraq.
If we are gonna live safely in America, we must be in Iraq.
And we need to show total support to those boys over there because when they hear all the media, which Katie Cork should have answered her own question, all the media um stating that we are, you know, di um that the we sh you know the poll numbers are down and that you know we shouldn't be in Iraq and Hey, that's not that's not the worst of it.
I th they they can cite the polls.
Debbie, what they're doing is they're quoting Democrats and amplifying Democrats as Democrats say we can't win.
They're saying that our our our Mertha just said yesterday that that we're hand to mouth, that that we're we're broken down and empty.
We're not competent, we're not qualified.
That's what they're amplifying.
That's what they're gleefully amplifying.
It's one Thing for Mertha to say, and he can say whatever he wants.
But when somebody like Lieberman writes a piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday that totally counters what his whole party is saying, he's a ghost.
He lives in a ghost town.
Nobody's interested.
Nobody wants to talk to him about it.
The worst part about what's being done is that all of this is being amplified excitedly and eagerly because it's nothing more than a political issue to these people.
And and I uh you know, when I hear stories of your son, and we we hear this every day now.
Uh people like you, parents call and tell us.
Just had one earlier today on the program.
Uh you know, we're just we we're so appreciative of what uh of what kind of man your son is.
They're special people.
Uh and they don't deserve to be impugned and denigrated by their own citizens.
And that is precisely what's happening here from practically every voice in the Democratic Party.
And it makes people sick.
I'm glad you called.
We'll be back and continue in just a moment.
And we're back.
Great to have you on the program, folks.
Rush Limbaugh.
Already Thursday here on the fastest week in media, go to uh Navarre, Florida and Donald.
Great to have you, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush.
How are you doing today?
Good, sir.
Uh listen, I'm a Democrat voted for Kerry, and I'm opposed to the war, but undercutting the president's about the stupidest thing anyone could do at this stage.
Uh if we force political concessions and he has to remove troops, it's going to start a bloodbath over there, the likes of which we couldn't even imagine.
Well, then you're not really on the same page with the with a lot of Democrats, because I'll tell you, you know, they when it comes to this war, there is no middle ground.
There's no room, for example, for Hillary Clinton to triangulate this.
The Ira the war is either you're very for it or you're very against it.
You uh you're not on the page with what is becoming an emerging Democrat base, which wants out of Iraq no matter what happens, uh I guess because they don't think that uh there's any real danger caused by what happens in the Middle East, so we need to get out.
But I think it's also oriented at just humiliating and defeating Bush.
Well, what but what what what why why do you differ from so many others in your party?
I think it's the leadership that differs, but the Democrats uh in in my area all have the same, you know, agenda.
Yeah, we didn't want this, but we're there, and we can't back off.
Uh I don't say I don't know where the leadership's getting their information from, but me and my friends, we all agree on the same thing.
I mean, if we try to withdraw under political pressure, that's just gonna be a red flag.
And the people that are on the the border, the ones that are wanting democracy but still a little skittish, if we start showing that we're not going to be there, they're gonna fly to the other side because that's the only thing that'll save their life after we're gone.
Yeah, well, and then and then you've got a whole new uh Afghanistan situation with Al Qaeda basically running the country.
Okay, so if that's the case, what is your reaction when you hear a Mirtha or a Nancy Pelosi or a a John Kerry as a Democrat?
As a Democrat?
As a Democrat.
Yeah, I mean, they're these guys are the leaders of your party.
You have a markedly different view from what the leaders of your party are advocating.
These are the people trying to get your vote, they're saying this in part because they think that's what you want to hear.
Well, I don't uh I don't agree with them.
And one thing I've learned being a Democrat, and I am a Democrat, tried and true.
If I wait long enough, the party will come back around to me because they never stay one course too long.
Well yeah, but y the problem the problem with this, uh I'm I'm I'm saying this to you as a as a Republican, uh actually as a conservative and as an American, uh somebody's got to put the brakes on these people.
If they were to happen to succeed, it would be a horrible event for this country, as you've just laid out.
So they have to be opposed.
They have to be defeated.
That's why I asked you the question.
You're a Democrat, you disagree profoundly with them on this.
Uh there are probably other areas of liberal democrat policy you do agree with them on.
Is this enough to make you not vote for a Democrat for president if this is what he is saying or she is saying at the time?
I personally would never vote for anyone that would put our troops in that jeopardy.
And don't get me wrong, I oppose Bush.
But I will stand behind him if it strengthens our position in Iraq.
You know, I mean, I will keep my mouth shut if I have to.
Were you a military?
Yes, sir.
I was in the military, I was in the army, during the A. Okay.
Explains it.
Um like I said, I'm not a big supporter of the Republican Party or Bush, but you you can't turn around and undermine the commander in chief without undermining the military effort.
I know this.
And anyone who doesn't know this is not thinking very far ahead.
Well, let me tell you something.
They know it too, and that's what makes it even worse.
And when you, you know, this is why some people want to use the word treason with what some of these people.
When when Murph comes out and says what he said today, that they're worn out.
In fact, let me get exactly what he said, because I I don't want to I don't want to paraphrase this.
But it is it it's it's just he says the army is broken, it is worn out, it is living hand to mouth.
Uh this is that's not criticism of Bush.
It may be cast as criticism of Bush, but he's taking a direct hit at the Pentagon and at the men and women who are wearing the uniform.
That they are broken and that they're worn out.
He's trying to make it sound as though he's blaming Bush for this, but he's impugning them.
Now, there is nobody I know that has this idea of the U.S. fighting force today.
Nobody thinks of them this way.
To run out and say this kind of thing, it is it is it's got one purpose.
It is to undermine the effort.
Now, Mirtha wants everybody to believe that this is a compassionate way of supporting the troops and bringing them home.
And I you know what one of the things I loved.
Kerry talked about it yesterday, the safety of our troops.
The safety of our troops, the safety of our troops.
The one thing that you know, it's it's a little oxymoronic in a way because they go to war.
Their purpose is to kill people and break things.
In the process, some of them are going to get killed.
Now, I understand you want safe vehicles and you want safe transport and you want good ammo and good, you know, all kinds of uh uh weaponry and so forth.
But this notion they're not a bunch of school kids that we have to keep safe and make sure, you know, we don't need patrol boys for the military to make sure they don't get run over by an enemy tank.
We talk about safety in the concept of kids, safety in the concept of civilian air travel, safety on the highways and all of this, but the safety of our troops, it it it makes them sound like children.
They're in the danger business.
And to sit here and and put your arms around them as little children and say, Well, putting our troops in jeopardy or troops safe, and that's what Mirth is doing.
Mirth is making these people out to be helpless, not industrious at all, not capable of fending for themselves.
They are the epitome of being able to do that.
They are the they are fighting machines.
This is how they've been trained.
And to sit here and say these kinds of things about them, all for your own personal political gain, is just outrageous.
And I'm I'm gonna folks, I'm gonna tell you again, the Democrats th this kind of an attitude and these kinds of public statements that they made back during the Vietnam War, doomed them as the the party they are today.
They are perceived as weak on the military, weak on national security, weak on national defense.
They are perceived accurately as not having spines.
They want to turn over our defense and foreign policy to the United Nations.
Their ideal uh is to let people like the diplomats in France and Germany and from elsewhere around the world, particularly the European Union and the United Nations, dictate our defense policy, hence John Kerry's global test.
He would seek the permission of the world before he deployed troops anywhere, even if there were a direct attack on this country.
He said so in a debate in the 2004 presidential campaign.
They have not changed in the in the years since Vietnam.
They're weak, weak, weak.
They uh they vacillate.
They can't you you just said it, they can't come up with a policy and stick to it.
In this case, they don't even have a policy.
They don't have an alternative.
Their alternative is to quit.
The Democrats are advocating quitting.
The Democrats are advocating and investing in defeat.
Because to them that's victory.
Now, this is outrageous.
And as a Democrat and a f and a veteran yourself, I would I would think that this would would be a breaking point.
You you you maybe want to content to sit around and wait for the party to go through its extremist motions and join you some years later here, back in some moderate position, but my lifetime has seen this party shift further and further and further left, and they haven't gotten nearly as far as they want to go.
They haven't gone nearly as far left as they're capable of going.
You're going to be sitting around waiting a long time for this party to come back.
In fact, this party may not come back as the Democratic Party.
If they keep going the way they're going, they are going to implode.
They are not a party of popular support.
As I said at the beginning of this program, since 1980, no Democrat who's been elected president has gotten 50% of the electoral vote or the popular vote.
It's not happened.
They claim they're in the mainstream.
They're reliving their Vietnam glory days because to them those are glory days.
This is Democrat glory.
This is Democrat valor.
John Mertha, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, this is Democrat valor.
This is what you're going to get if these people run the country.
This to them is their high point.
This is where they're really proud.
This is the last three weeks have been flexing their muscles.
These people think they're on top of the mountain now.
And what have they done?
Nothing but doom and gloom and pessimism and apocalyptic talk about their own country, about their own military, about men and women who wear the uniform in this country deployed around the world.
They are nothing but doom and gloom and apocalyptic.
And that makes them feel good.
It makes them feel powerful.
And somehow, in some warped way, it makes them think they're going to get majority support of the American people.
They're already counting the seats that they're going to win in 06 in the House and the Senate.
They think they're going to take it back.
They need to go back and look at what happened to them in 1972.
And they need to go back and take a look at what happened to them in 1980.
Jimmy Carter tried to huff and puff.
And Jimmy Carter, he was, you know, he's trying to be huffing tough and do all these things, but he tried to do it in a typical liberal Democrat way.
And look where it got him.
And there's no different today than they have been in all these past years.
The reason they don't understand the precarious position they're in is because their buddies in the mainstream press create the illusion that they are carrying the day, create the illusion that they're dominating the thoughts of the American people by virtue of these polls that come out.
Well, these polls that come out have been rigged.
These polls that have come out have questions asked to which the answers are almost assured.
The polls are nothing more than an extension of the editorial page at a newspaper or on a television network.
And they're used to falsely portray news.
They're creating news.
They're calling it a poll, but they're creating news.
All this has given the Democrats this sense that they're back and that they're in charge and that they're in control.
And the greatest thing about it from our standpoint is they think all this has happened because of the way they've behaved the last four years, particularly the last two.
They think their attitude the last two years has made them the majority party in this country again.
They are so certain that they're going to win in 06 and 08.
It's a slam dunk.
So they're going to continue on.
They think beaten up on the military, beating up on the press, beating up on national defense, acting weak is a winner.
I urge them to continue.
But history will show that the people of this country do not elect such people to positions of power because they know they can't be trusted.
We will be back.
Stay with us.
Manheim steamroller, Christmas time music.
Here during the Christmas season, one of my favorite times of year at the EIB network.
I spoke earlier.
Oh, and by the way, coming up in the next hour, I'm going to do this in the monologue of the next hour.
I found the greatest piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday on the whole myth of the hybrid car.
I can't wait.
I cannot wait to pass this on to you people.
I was so right on the money last week when we talked about this.
It is it is by a guy named Holman Jenkins Jr.
He's a columnist at the journal.
And his piece is called Business World.
And what the piece is is a uh it's a fake letter from Toyota to their valued hybrid customers.
And it's just terrific.
But before that, I mentioned earlier in the program that we have a little AB side by side comparative chance or opportunity playing out right before our eyes.
The Bush strategy versus liberal strategy, two opposing theories playing out right before your eyes.
And it's interesting.
It's a debate being settled not on television split screens, not on the floors of Congress, not any editorial pages.
It is a debate being settled in the real world.
And you have to be blind, not sightless, but blind, blinded by hatred not to see it, not to notice it.
A is Iraq, B is Iran, side by side.
Two rogue states, both with ambitions of owning the Middle East.
Both nations at one time rich with oil to fund their ambitions.
Both nations abiding and abetting terrorism.
Both nations dreaming of nuclear power as the great equalizer so that they will no longer be at the foot of such evil nations as the United States.
We have gone our way in Iraq.
The Bush strategy, the conservative strategy in Iraq.
The left is going its way in Iran.
And by left, I mean shorthand for the John Kerry crowd, the State Department, the United Nations, and the Democratic National Committee Times.
We didn't wait for our sunshine allies, the French and the Germans and the Russians in Iraq.
We went in and did and started what needed to be done.
The left in Iran still deferring to the French, still deferring to the Germans, still deferring to the Russians.
Kerry State Department, the DNC Times, United Nations, Mohammed Al Baradai.
They're still talking and while they talk, Iran is ginning up.
We didn't wait for our sunshine allies.
Well, what's the progress report?
You need one?
You really need a progress report?
Iraq will not threaten the region in any way.
It will not threaten the region as a nuclear equalizer.
It is not going to become a haven and a country owned and operated by terrorists because we're not going to leave there and allow that to happen, contrary to what the Democrats want.
Iraq is not going to be a threat, not the threat that Saddam wanted it to be, but Iran, who knows, days, weeks, months closer to having nuclear weapons.
The multicultural crowd will negotiate until the day they launch those weapons, folks.
Now the reason for the different mindsets of our leaders and the leaders of our sunshine allies, uh, partners, whatever.
We know when things get out of hand, the United States ends up picking up the pieces, putting things back together.
We do it with our military, our money, and our morality.
We know in the end that America picks up the tab for all the messes in the world.
The French know they won't have to fix it because we will.
The Germans know they won't have to fix it because we will.
And frankly, neither the French nor Germans could fix it if they had to.
The Russians know they won't have to fix it.
They don't have the money to do it.
We will.
So there you are.
There are two ways to go, two conflicting theories playing out side by side in the real world.
Will the world be safer with an Iraq strategy or with the Iran strategy?
You have to be blind not to see this, blinded with hatred for President Bush not to see this.
Because what's happening in Iran and the way it's being dealt with is exactly what would have happened in Iraq had we deferred to all of these allies.
And at some point, we're gonna have to step into Iran because the left will botch it because their way never works.
They just send the latest Neville Chamberlain around.
They send the latest State Department appeaser around, but eventually the United States will have to clean up Iran.
And we will have to clean up Syria.
That's the way of the world.
With the Bush strategy that you now see in Iraq.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
I'm laughing myself silly.
I don't believe this.
ESPN has suspended Michael Irvin for one week.
For one week.
They've suspended him.
What a what a foolhardy move.
