Where is it?
I just had it here.
I just had it.
Well, I don't need it because I remember it.
And I wish I had it.
Well, it's somewhere.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
The award-winning thrill packed, ever exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds rush limbaugh program back.
Program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
It's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And you know the rules thrown up online Friday.
Whatever we talk about on the phones is up to you, ladies and gentlemen.
You can bring up whatever it is you want, whether I care about it or not.
Telephone number 80082882.
And the email address is rush at EIB net.com.
You know the uh the number of uh voters in Iraq?
How many people showed up?
Well, I just I just saw the uh the number flashed up on uh television as 11 million.
Now that's an interesting figure.
11 million people in Iraq voted.
That equals exactly the number of illiterate people there are in this country.
There's a story out there.
Says that one in 20 Americans, which would equal 11 million, are illiterate in the English language.
That doesn't mean they can't read or write.
It just means they can't read or write English.
I've had 11 million Iraqis vote and 11 million Americans are Doomkoffs.
And I'm sure they all read the New York Times.
Every damned one of these illiterates reads the New York Times.
By the way, uh we've talked a little bit about Time Magazine, uh, person of the year, man of the year, woman of the year, computer of the year, entity of the year, plant of the year, tree of the year, whatever the hell they end up doing.
I don't care.
I couldn't care less.
I care less than an amoeba.
The only thing that matters to me is who is going to be the man of the year in the limbaugh letter, my newsletter.
And I can tell you who it is.
Now we our our man of the year issue will be in February of this year.
We don't do it around December.
We don't do it conventionally the way everybody else does.
We do it February.
We're gonna do it in February, and I am the man of the year in the limbaugh letter.
So stand by for the man of the decade, man of the past two decades.
Look for it in your mailbox and newsstand soon.
This story is this is hilarious.
It's the Washington Post.
Democrats criticize Bush for saying delay is innocent.
This was the this was the total topic at the White House press briefing yesterday.
David Gregory was was a vulture.
He was a turkey vulture.
David Gregory would not let go of Scott McClellan on this.
Democrat leaders sternly, and of course, Gregory may as well be a Democrat leader.
The NBC White House correspondent.
He sternly, uh Democrat leader sternly criticized President Bush yesterday for saying that Tom Delay's innocent of felonious campaign finance abuses, suggesting his comments virtually amounted to jury tampering before delay stands trial.
Dingy Harry said the president of the United States said a jury doesn't need to assemble that Tom Delay is innocent.
To have someone of his stature, the president, prejudge a case is something I've never seen before.
This happened during a Brit Hume interview on the Fox News channel.
We played you some of the soundbites yesterday.
Dingy Harry says he's never seen it before.
I'm not surprised he's so old, he's got Alzheimer's disease.
These fools who defended Clintons for years say this about Bush and Delay.
During Monica, during Paula, during Kathleen, during Juanita, during Craig, during all of these things, Edmund Burda.
During the impeachment, during the stained dress episode.
Democrats did nothing but go on TV and say Bill Clinton's innocent.
When Bill Clinton went out.
I never had sex with that woman a single time ever.
Madeline Albright led the charge of the White House staff going.
We believe our president was lying through his teeth.
You don't remember this, Dingy Harry?
You don't you don't remember prejudging Clinton's innocence?
And he's actually a felon.
It's not a contempt of court.
Sorry for my voice rising here.
I'm just incredulous today.
Other exciting items in the news.
Have you heard, folks, I I saw this yesterday.
Have you heard that Ralph's supermarket chain's been indicted on charges it violated a number of federal labor laws during the 2003 grocery strike in Southern California?
Well, you've heard, and you probably heard as I did, because I was watching a cable channel.
And you probably heard that Ralph's supermarket is owned by Kroger.
Okay, fine.
Well, Ron Burkle owns Ralph's supermarket chain.
Ron Burkle is a billionaire California businessman who has long funded everyone from the Clintons to the uh Reverend Jackson.
It was Ron Burkle who provided the money for the uh Reverend Jackson to settle with his mistress.
Ron Burkle has funded the California public employees' pension funds.
He is heavily invested in funds that he heads.
Burkle's firm Ralphs has been charged with several very serious violations of federal labor laws.
Now it's a 106-page indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles.
Prosecutors, this happened uh uh yesterday.
Prosecutors say that a grocery score chain issued thousands of paychecks to employees hired under false names and allowed the workers to cash the checks at its stores.
The indictment also says the chain tried to conceal the practice from the union by sending locked-out employees to work at stores far from the ones where they were regularly employed.
Now, do you you you suppose the party and the unions involved will move their pickets and campaign against Walmart to Ralph's?
But how could a big Democrat do this to a union?
It's a horrible day for the unions today.
The Democrats in New York told the transit workers, screw you.
You're not getting the raise that you want.
You ever tried to make it make ends meet in New York?
You I don't care where you live.
Well, there may be a couple places that are pretty close, but mo more than likely 99% of you wherever you live, you have no clue what it's like to make ends meet in New York.
And here are these lowly transit workers and they're union people and they elect Democrats and they campaign for Democrats, and they have their wages and their can't they're whatever the union uh the does uh go to Democrats and liberal leadership of New York just says.
And so they threaten a big strike, and everybody's worried it's gonna be a big strike, and it wouldn't a big strike.
Two bus lines, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
And so the ant farm that is New York continues to get by on slave labor led by Democrats, and meanwhile, we can run out there and we can rip Walmart to shreds for their unfair labor practices.
Nancy Pelosi, Miss America, House Minority Leader, said yesterday Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying that differing positions within her caucus are a source of strength for the party.
Pelosi said the Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections, but it will not include a position on Iraq.
There is a consensus within the party.
President Bush has mismanaged the war, but a new course is needed, but House Democrats should be free to take individual positions, she said.
Uh that there is no one democratic voice.
Uh there is uh there's no one Democrat position, she said in an interview with the Washington Post reporters and editors.
This is the biggest backtrack I have ever seen.
It's all because the elections went well over there.
Not even going to have a position on the Iraq war in the 2006.
I don't even think they're going to come up with an issue agenda.
They're just they can't.
They've had how many behind closed doors meetings to come up with whatever it is they believe, and they're still empty-handed.
But even if they do come up with one, it's not going to contain a position on the Iraq war.
What are the kooks that support these people going to do?
I gotta go quick time out.
We'll be back.
It's gonna be fun to watch, though, whenever it does happen.
Stay with us.
Now this cheers me up some.
Manheim's steamroller.
Christmas time cheers me up.
Gotta go to a wedding this weekend.
Those scare me.
That's on Saturday.
I got football on Sunday, so it's gonna be a mixed bag.
But I may friends will I will get through this.
Now the Washington Post had a story today, uh, and I'm sure that the this their attempt to uh to dilute the success, the magnificent success of the Iraqi elections yesterday, but they obviously put this story together before knowing that the New York Times is going to come out with his bogus, fraudulent, deceitful, phony, misleading story about Bush secretly spying on you.
Do you know what this really adds up to?
The same chumps, the same Lily livered do-nothing in power for eight years chumps who whined and moaned about Bush not connecting the dots before 9-11 today in the New York Times accused him of spying.
Go figure, folks.
That's that's who we have as the loyal opposition in this party.
They're no different.
The New York Times, no different than Al Jazeera.
When's the last time you saw a leak in the mainstream press that was favorable to this country?
When is the last time?
You haven't.
Because they don't happen.
Washington Post story, experts cautious in assessing Iraq election.
High turnout, low violence, a positive step, but not a turning point, analysts say.
It's by Robin Wright.
From President Bush, the strong turnout for Iraq's election yesterday may represent the best day since the fall of Baghdad 32 months ago because all major factions participated in the political process.
But according to U.S. and Middle East analysts, the sobering reality is that the vote itself did not resolve Iraq's lingering political disputes.
So the election was worthless.
We may have well not even had the damn thing.
It was a total waste of time.
The only thing good about it was that there weren't a whole lot of bombs.
And actually, we wish there would have been a lot of bombs because that would have made it look even more fraudulent than it was.
I don't know of any election that resolves political disputes.
2000 election, 2004 election resolve political disputes in this country.
New York Times, same subject.
Freedom from fear lifts Sunnis.
Freedom from fear lifts Sunnis.
Ali is only nine, but when he and his buddies broke away from a street soccer game to drop into a polling station in Baghdad's Admiya district at noon on Thursday, Ali, a chirpy tousel-haired youngster, seemed to catch the mood of the district's Sunni Arab population as well as anybody.
He said, We don't want car bombs.
This is a nine-year-old.
We don't want car bombs.
We want security.
Yards away, Sunni grown-ups were casting ballots in classrooms where the boys would have been studying Arabic or arithmetic or geography.
Boring, boring, said Ali, had the school not been drafted for use as one of 6,000 polling stations in Iraq, so nine-year-olds understand what the liberals in this country don't.
Nine-year-old Iraqis get it.
Hire this guy as a reporter.
The truth from Iraq from a nine-year-old.
Haven't read the rest of the story, but I'll bet you there's a critic saying that this nine-year-old has ADD and you can't rely on what he says.
I'm not even gonna bother looking.
It's go to uh Brown's, I'm sorry, Bronxville, New York, and mark your next on the EIB network high.
Rush, how are you?
Good, sir.
I'm glad you called.
Well, thank you very much, and it's a pleasure to speak with you.
And uh before I get to my uh environmental echo uh question for you, uh, my brother is a U.S. Marine, and I'm I'm trying to get him the 24-7 membership, and he made the point that adopt a soldier is uh actually an insult to the Marine Corps.
They'd rather be called Marinians.
Well, okay, tell him it's the Adopt a Marine program.
We'll call adopt a military person.
I will I will I will do that.
I mean, it's not it's not it's it's it's it's it's not meant to be exclusive of anybody but soldiers.
Well, no, I know.
But uh he he just made that point, so I just wanted to get that out there.
I'll tell you what we're uh what we're encountering is that a lot of these people uh I can't accept this.
I uh this is a freebie.
I a lot of people are saying my honor won't let me accept this.
And we've been trying to tell people you're looking at this the wrong way.
You gotta learn to receive.
There are Americans who want to show their support for what you're doing during these political times where you're being criticized and lied about, misreported.
American people desperately want to uh show their support.
So tell your marine buddy, your brother, learn to receive.
I I will do that.
We'll definitely do that.
Get him to sign up.
And if he does, sign up for him.
You know, he'd have to do it himself.
You can sign up for him.
So uh I'm hoping he gets it soon.
And uh he looks like so he really needs to hear what's going on.
Way to be.
Yeah.
Well, listen, Rush.
Um, by environmental uh wacko pick, it's uh I I think it's a tough one.
Uh this weekend, uh the undefeated Colts playing at home against the Chargers and uh Chargers, of course, the source of energy, uh look at lightning bolt and the Colts uh horse, so what do you think?
You want the environmentalist wacko pick?
Yes.
All right.
Well, uh this is actually it's it's not that complicated.
On paper, the environmentalist wacko pick looks challenging because you've got the chargers, and if you look at the chargers uh logo is the lightning bolt.
So the chargers have roots to electricity.
On the other side, you have the Colts.
The Colts, horses.
In this case, white stallions.
White, if you look at the well, they are, you know, blue and white, but we've never seen a blue horse, so it's a white horse.
Good guys, you know, they they ride the white horses.
So what do you do?
Well, it's easy.
In this case, you take a look at the cults, animals, stallions, roaming free, brought here to pollute this land by evil white Europeans, along with syphilis.
The horses ended up being burdens, beast of burdens for people that rode them to kill people, and the horses didn't stop it.
Horses allowed it to happen.
That was okay when the Indians did it because the Indians were at one with nature.
The Indians running around killing things, but the Indians deserved to because it was their country.
They are the indigenous peoples.
But here came the white Europeans.
They brought other horses.
The Indians got their share of the horses.
But so did the white Europeans hold on to their share.
Then they got wild horses had to be tamed, but the horses, even the wild ones that were tamed, allowed the evil white Europeans to ride them.
You know, the cavalry, the early cavalry rode horses, didn't have tanks back then, riding horses, firing guns, all the Indians had was bows and arrows.
It wasn't even a contest.
The horses didn't do one thing to stop it.
Now you might say, well, Russia's just a horse.
What can a horse do?
Horse has no control over a human being.
A horse that cared.
And a horse that knew might have done differently.
So you say the horse was exploited.
The horse was exploited by who?
Human beings.
Let's go to the chargers, the lightning bolts.
Electricity.
Now you get a hurricane like Katrina and people or Wilma here, and you lose your electricity, and they say, Oh, we can't have this.
This is horrible.
But before emergencies or disasters happen, electricity is viewed as a bad thing.
Electricity is something that contributes to global warming because guess where we get electricity?
It just doesn't, I mean, we can't harness it out of the sky.
It happens naturally.
Up there in thunder, lightning and all that.
But when man produces it, man has to destroy.
Man has to get fossil fuels or other kinds of fuels.
The extraction, the drilling, these fuels causes pollution, destroys the planet, destroys nature.
And what does electricity end up doing?
Electricity benefits the rich.
The poor have to use as little as possible because they can't afford the bills.
The rich can use as much as they want, air conditioned for homes, five homes.
They're private jets.
They're fifteen cars.
And they don't care what it costs.
They abuse it, they use it.
Electricity, though, kills.
Electricity, you it does.
It's portrayed as this grand, wonderful thing, but it kills.
Here we have a football team adopting an article of nature that kills versus the cults.
An article of nature that allowed itself to be used for the express purpose of killing, particularly the indigenous peoples.
So how do you weigh this using the environmentalist wacko method of picking this game?
How do you choose between electricity and a poor, innocent but gorgeous and Majestic and beautiful horse.
Well, if you're an environmentalist wacko, it's no choice.
You choose the horse.
Because if you're an environmentalist wacko, you love manure.
Because it's natural.
The more manure, the better, because more manure, more trees, more grass, electricity, it's for the rich.
Besides the average get ripped off, like in California, when the electricity companies like Enron buy it and sell it as a commodity at the expense of the poor.
So sorry, environmentalist waddle wacko pick says take the Colts and lay the point.
It's easy.
And welcome back, folks.
Nice to have you.
It is a it's a real delight and exciting thing for me to welcome to the program the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Mr. Secretary, I know your schedule is extremely tight.
Thanks so much for joining us.
I I wanted to uh uh ask about your personal take on the results yesterday from Iraq.
I see that the New York Times today has done their best to erase that success from the from the uh lead item in the news today, but what's your take on it?
Well, it's a hi uh truly historic event and and it it needs to be understood as such.
For these people in Iraq to have gone through what they've gone through with a repressive dictatorial regime, a war, and then to fashion a constitution that they wrote, and then they ratified it on October 15th,
and then go out and risk intimidation and assassination and car bombs and what have you, and vote in the overwhelming numbers that they voted, and not just the Shia or the Kurds, but the Sunnis as well, is is truly just a historic event.
I'm I'm so pleased with it, and I know that the Iraqi people are proud of their accomplishment.
Well, they ought to be.
Does it does it uh uh distress you when you uh get the impression, if you do, that uh a large number of people in this country don't think it's that important.
Well, you know, uh it's it I think there are people who feel that way, and and they tend to be affected by what they read or hear.
On the other hand, there are an awful lot of people who are um family and friends of the hundred and fifty-five thousand troops that are over there, and they get emails back from those people every day.
And those people out there, and the men and women in uniform who are doing such a superb job, know that they're accomplishing something enormously important.
They know it's noble work, and they do see the progress, and they come back to their family and friends with information every day that contradicts what frequently people read in the press.
Well, I know, and it I I try to put myself in your position if I were uh if I were Secretary of Defense or a member of this administration, and uh I know you're informed on a daily basis in the media, you see it, you you you uh you talk to them, I mean you deal with them.
Uh it's got to be, as I put myself in your shoes, frustrating, and and you you've come under personal attack throughout all of this for so many things from Abu Ghrab and so forth.
I just wanted to say to you personally, I I think you're a a statesman, and I think you've given so much of your life to public service.
Uh, and I think people need to know what it's like to sit up and take the slings and arrows that you were taking while uh while not wavering and and and and compromising your beliefs and fortitude all this.
And I've I'm glad to have the chance to say that to you.
Well, you're very nice to say that.
I I must say it uh the mood during a war uh historically has been difficult.
I mean, George Washington was almost fired a couple of times.
Uh Abraham Lincoln was vilified, Franklin Roosevelt was called a traitor to the country, and and uh just terrible things said about him, and so too with Harry Truman during the Korean War.
Uh I I guess and Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War.
I guess the that's part of of uh uh the nature of the public debate in a free society.
And I guess the the balance that one has to have is to recognize that uh throughout history uh we've seen this kind of of um debate and and controversy, uh, but that in those instances where we've stuck to the course and and uh fulfilled our conviction uh that this country has benefited, and and the fact that we're here today means that most of our leadership in over the decades has has refused to quit and toss in the towel.
What's next in Iraq?
Now the election was a success.
This is a third successful election.
Each one has been more successful than the previous.
Uh We hear calls for now, okay.
This is a signal we can start withdrawing troops.
What is next for the country and for the region as a result of this?
Well, the uh uh next thing that would happen would be that the election results would be certified, and then there's a fixed period of time after that when the assembly is to be seated, and then they will begin that process of selecting a president and deputy presidents, and then eventually a prime minister, and the ministers of the various uh ministries, defense ministry and oil ministry and all of that.
That'll take some time, just like it takes us from the first Tuesday in November to uh the uh I guess January twentieth when we inaugurate a president.
That's quite a while from November third to January twentieth.
So they'll be doing that, and there'll be challenges ahead.
The the uh enemies of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government.
Uh there's a lot of pressure on them, and they're being uh captured or killed in large numbers, but there's still a number there, so there'll be challenges that we'll have to face.
My biggest concern right now is that I'm anxious to see that the next Minister of Defense and the next Minister of the Interior in Iraq are people who have the kind of competence and the breadth as as leaders to see that those two important wartime ministries are functioning effectively so that they we can continue to pass off responsibility to the Iraqi security forces.
Well, are you optimistic about that?
I I would think you would be after uh the the events of just the last two to three years.
I am.
I think that we've we've there there are some fine leaders in that country.
Um, but uh we just have to make sure that people understand the importance of that.
We our goal, of course, is to keep passing off responsibility to Iraqis.
We've passed over something like uh twenty-nine bases thus far, and we're we're transferring responsibility for certain pieces of real estate, about half of Baghdad's now under the control of the Iraqi security forces.
And we want to be able to keep doing that so we can free up the pressure on our forces and uh and the coalition forces and begin a drawdown of some of those forces so that they can come back home and and and leave that responsibility to the Iraqis.
Now, am I would by be correct in in also uh uh feeling optimistic that the insurgency, the terrorists, whatever failed to stop this election yesterday and that there were fewer attacks than predicted, fewer attacks than previously were mounted uh at other uh election occasions.
You're exactly right.
I I must say I'm amazed that uh that the attack level was so low.
I think the Iraqi security forces and the coalition forces have done a superb job.
And by shutting down uh traffic uh for a period of time, uh they undoubtedly made it very difficult for terrorists to move around.
Um I'm I I'm quite encouraged and and uh hopeful about it.
Now you mentioned earlier that uh the uh the the troops over there that get emails from back home.
I know that the Department of Defense has uh uh started a program called America Supports You.
There's a website and so forth.
What is that?
And is this something that the Department of Defense has not done before?
No, you're quite right.
The Department is not, and and what what is happening is uh our folks here decided to create a website called America Supports You dot mil, and anyone can go to that site because on it they'll find things that families, individuals,
corporations, schools, uh private organizations have have decided to do to support the troops, the wonderful troops that are over there in in Iraq and Afghanistan and and elsewhere around the world, and also to support their families and their loved ones.
And of course, this is the time of year when they're gonna be separated, and it's it's important that people uh go to that website, take a look and see if there isn't something that uh they might want to do to to show their support for the troops.
Give me some examples of what people can do on this website to show support.
Well, they there's a number of people who have sent gifts across the ocean over to those folks.
There are a number of people who've who've written letters that uh no thousands of letters have been sent.
Uh there are people who will go to a house of a uh family member where the service person is overseas and help them install something if there's a problem, uh a leaky faucet or uh uh a leak in the basement or the roof, and there are organizations that are available to go in and provide that kind of assistance.
Um and that kind of a gift to the troops and the family of the troops while the troops are over there giving the gift of freedom to the Iraqi people and and that region is, I think, a wonderful thing for people to do.
And I uh based on the reaction I get from uh the folks in this audience.
I think there's a uh uh a strong desire to do that.
They they see the criticism of the war and the uh and the troops.
They see some Americans seemingly invested in our own defeat over there, and they want to show their support for these troops.
So this is a great thing that uh that the Department of Defense has set up then because people want to be able to do this.
They they they feel frustrated at uh inability to express their love and support for what these people are doing.
So that's a that's a good thing, and I think you can expect a uh uh a strong response to that.
I know you've got to go, but I wanted to once again uh just individual to individual.
I admire you for sticking to this.
Um these are things you don't have to do.
You've been a success in life.
Well, you can be doing other things.
You can be on the beach.
You you but but you uh you you take the arrows each and every day, and I don't think most people understand what life can be like for a person in your situation, uh, but you believe in it and you don't waver from it, and uh we all thank God that you're doing what you're doing, Mr. Secretary.
Well, Rush, I thank you for that.
I must say I feel fortunate as a human being to be able to be involved in in work that I believe is so important to our country and to our people, to protect them from terrorists, and and let there be no doubt the efforts we're engaged in in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere around the world are to assure the safety of the American people and so that the American people can maintain their way of life.
And I'm proud to be involved, and I thank you so much and wish you a merry Christmas.
Same to you, and uh and and all the best in the coming year.
That's Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, and we'll take a brief time out here at the EIB network and be right back.
We are back on the cutting edge, L. Rushball, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Get this.
The uh mayor of Chicago, uh Richard uh Daly, uh this is in the what is it, the Chicago Sun-Times today.
Paris style riots could come very quickly to America's cities unless something is done to end the isolation of the poor, Mayor Daly said uh yesterday.
The mayor issued his dire warning on what Chicago Housing Authority Chief Terry Peterson called a historic day for the State Street corridor where Chicago isolated its poorest residents.
Ground was broken on Park Boulevard, the first new mixed-income development along the State Street corridor since the CHA launched its 1.6 billion dollar plan for transformation.
It's a 311-unit development where the CHA stateway gardens once stood.
It's bound by 35th Federal State and Pershing.
Daly said, We're the only city in the nation attacking this problem.
If they don't attack the problem and do something about it, you keep reading all about Paris outside of Paris, isolation to the poor.
What's taking place there?
That could come very quickly to the U.S. Yes, especially if eminent domain continues to be used the way it's been used.
We are taking the poor who are isolated, we're going to isolate them even further.
We're going to move them out from where they live for a bigger tax base.
We'll keep a sharp eye on to see where this mixed income project works.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen.
By the way, uh we had a call earlier.
The uh guy wanted the environmentalist wacko pick between the uh the uh Indianapolis uh Colts San Diego Chargers.
The real interesting environmental wacko pick.
Uh and I haven't looked at a whole schedule, because there's some dog games up there this week, as there always are in the NFL, but uh the the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Minnesota Vikings.
Now that there you've got there you got a real challenge of the environmental wacko pick.
The environmental wackos hate them both.
Vikings and steel.
I mean, in this polluting still, who how how in the world would environmentalist wacko come down on this game?
And it really it's very simple.
I mean, the Vikings are these marauding, polluting ravagers, they rape, they pillage, they just take over and for real.
Four of them have been charged in the sex boat uh escapade.
One of them the quarterback Daughty Culpepper, who is denying it all.
Um but but three of them uh have been charged.
These are misdemeanors, but they face what is it, 90 days in jail?
Maximum $50,000 fine.
You got the Steelers.
We all know about the Steelers.
If you lived in Pittsburgh during the height, the steel industry, you're dead.
You died.
You had to take four shirts to work every day because by 10 o'clock your white shirt was black for all the steel soot.
Now they've closed all those mills and moved them over to Japan as a not very much of a steel industry in the uh in the country, but the Steelers still represent that.
I mean, these are tough guys.
These are guys that drink beer, they eat hoagies.
They are they are just they're not concerned with anything to do with political correctness.
Nothing whatsoever.
They don't dress properly, they don't care what anybody thinks of them, they just forge a hand.
And the same thing with Vikings.
If you get in their way, they're just gonna rape you.
They're just gonna run over you.
They're just gonna mull you.
They're gonna take over your town, they're gonna burn what part of your town they don't like, and they're gonna keep going.
How do you pick in the environmental wacko method between the the Minnesota Vikings and the and the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Well, you gotta look at this from the environmental wacko perspective.
The environmental wacko may not find anything to love about either of these organizations or teams, but they might find things about one or the other they hate more.
So what would an environmentalist wacko hate more?
Pollution, big steel, dirt, poverty, low union wages in the mills.
Or would they hate the Vikings and their sex boat and raping and pillaging?
And the environmentalist wackos, these are free spirits.
The more sex the better.
Gotta go with the Vikings using the environmentalist wacko method of free love.
All this, these leftists, displaced communists that have chosen the environmental.
You know, I have said this.
How many years have I said this?
That that's what the environmentalist wacko movement is.
George Will, yesterday in the Washington Post, for many opponents of drilling in the refuge, the debate is only secondarily about energy and the environment.
Rather, it's a disguised debate about elemental political matters.
For some people, environmentalism is collectivism in drag.
Such people use environmental causes and rhetoric not to change the political climate for the purpose of an environmental improvement.
Rather, for them, changing the society's politics is the end, and environmental policies are the mere means to that end.
Exactly what I have said for 16 years.
So you got through with the environmental wacko pick, snerdlies asked me who the Colts are going to play in the Super Bowl.
I'm not I don't know, I'm not gonna go there.
I have no clue yet.
But I'm just uh besides haven't talked to the Hutch about it.
When the Hutch picks, I'll pick the opposite, and I will be right.
My buddy in Seattle, former linebacker for the uh Dallas Cowboys.
And he did play for the Chargers, by the way, so of course the Cowboys.
I mean, there's no different than the Vikings.
They just did it in the old West rather than in the Great North and the and North.
But nevertheless, you have to you have to say that the environmentalist wackers would have to go with the Vikings on this.
Um plus they play indoors where there's no pollution.
It'll be the Steelers bringing the pollution with them as steel men.
One other thing about the uh Chargers and Colts, and I I'm sorry to left this out, another, another environmental wacko reason to choose the Colts.
We all know from recent stories from the Great Northwest in this country, horses have good sex.
All right, I gotta get myself ready for this wedding I gotta go to.
I'm telling these things scare me, folks.
You just never know what's gonna happen at them.
Well, that's the point.
This is not mine.
You never know.
I mean, that's the you go to these things and and that's just I've been I I've I've been to too many of them.
I know what can happen there.
Somebody, somebody uh actually a bunch of people rush you.
Well, what do you really think of this sex boat scandal and with the Vikings?
What do you really think about it?
Wish I could have been there.
How's that?
All right, folks, I'll tell you what I got coming up next.
I gotta I got my morning update right here.
And I'm gonna record this.
It'll air Monday, but for those of you who are subscribers at Rush 24-7, in about an hour and a half, you will get the video podcast of the morning update.
Uh as long as as well as the podcast of the uh entire program today.
And these are fun.
I mean, they're fabulous when you hear them, but you haven't seen it till you've seen it.
So you all have a good weekend.
I will look forward to being back here on Monday, and we have a whole full broadcast week next week leading up to uh Christmas and Christmas Eve and so forth, which I of course always look forward to being around at that time.
