Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You really can't find out what party these pork rhyme eaters are uh uh are in.
I can't Well Fourteen people indicted in Appalachia election fraud probe, and nobody can find out what party these people are in.
Which has got to tell us something.
We've been snurdly's been trying to find for an hour.
I'll give you the details.
We got a lot of stuff to do here on the program, folks.
It is Friday.
You know what that means.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Oh, goody goody gumdrops, ladies.
There we are on my favorite day of the busy broadcast week.
And that's hard because I love all five days of the busy broadcast week, but this one is special because Monday through Thursday, as you know, we spend time talking about only the things that interest me.
That is a policy here.
I'm not going to waste time talking about things that bore me because then you would be bored listening to me sound bored.
But on Friday, I will allow things that I may not care about to be brought up by callers.
It's your golden opportunity.
This is a huge career risk, by the way.
I am a highly trained broadcast specialist, and I turn over the all-important area of subject matter to veritable rank amateurs, the people on the phones.
I say that with love and affection.
There's no way you could not be a rank amateur.
You are a listener.
You are not a highly trained specialist.
But it's still fun to find out what's on your mind.
If you have things that uh you think should have been discussed and haven't been, or if you think you got a point nobody else has made, ha ha, give that a shot.
Whatever.
Question, comment.
Uh phone number is 800 282-2882.
The email address is rush at eibnet.com.
Had a great time in Washington yesterday.
The uh there's a trade magazine, uh, my favorite trade magazine, Radio and Records.
They do a talk radio seminar seminar every year.
They rotate between Santa Monica, a place I refuse to go, and uh and Washington.
It's a tough, it's a tough call.
I I you know I got out of there late.
I got home at um well, I got to bed at four o'clock this morning.
Uh and I uh I never spend the night in in Washington unless there's just no alternative, because that town can infect you.
Uh inside the Beltway mentality, it doesn't take long for it to overcome.
So I got in there, got it, and got out.
Uh had a great time about it was standing room only, I guess about 400 people in the ballroom at the Renaissance Hotel, all radio uh executives, general managers, program directors, and uh some hosts, and uh had just had a great time.
I I uh I well no, the people used to fire me were in the music business uh when I was a DJ.
I have I've not been fired as a talk show host.
I've well, I was fired in Kansas City when I w uh I was doing news in the afternoon and I couldn't keep my opinions out of the news.
And they said, you can't do that.
I said, why Peter Jennings does it every day?
Why can't why can't Well no, you can't you just so they gave me a commentary uh and they ran a commentary you know twice a day, and I did it every day, twice in the morning, twice in the afternoon, sort of play came.
But that's the place I got fired for using the word therefore too much.
So I was fired once in a spoken word form, but I was not hosting a talk show then, so I'm technically still correct.
Um but no, you know, I uh these are the people uh and you and I uh what I told them goes equally for in fact I we posted a little excerpt of my uh of my speech that that Radio and Records has has put up on their website and we've linked to it at Rush Limbaugh.com.
But what I told them essentially, I told them a lot.
I can't we're we got a video of the speech, and we're gonna try to look at it, push put it up on the on the website on Monday.
Um and there's still shots and oh I did look really dapper.
Went in there with my black mock turtleneck and a s and a just a sharp gray suit.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely just like the one you're wearing today, except I didn't I didn't have the EIB logo on it.
I figured they knew who I was.
But I told them exactly what I told you.
These are the people you all in the audience and the people of these radio stations that carry this program are the ones that made me who I am.
Uh and I'm always asked about satellite radio, and and I'm glad satellite radio is out there, but it makes no business sense for me to cannibalize the people who've made me who I am.
Uh and it makes no sense for me to reduce the the scope of of uh of reach.
I mean, on radio every day.
What are you frowning at in there?
What how in the world can what I just said cause you to frown?
You ought to be in there celebrating.
Here I am praise.
What what what?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Uh no, Snerdley keeps I I didn't have to say that.
They put it in the introduction.
The guy introducing me said that.
Yeah, uh, but but he's talking about, you know, you you're giving them all this credit, but hill, you're the one that saved the A.M. band.
I am not a braggart, and I don't run around and say that.
I the they put it in the introduction.
I, but you know, I I took the occasion to tell these people how gr of my gratitude for them.
Um, you know, they've stuck with this program through thick and thin.
Uh we've put these people that have supported this program through a roller coaster ride now and then, and they haven't wavered.
Yeah, they have and when we first started, you know, yeah, when the audience numbers were great, but of course this program was tagged as controversial, and there were people uh uh that there were opposed to this program's success, and they were attacking the stations and all that, but and they they weathered all the storms.
So I don't want to go through the entire speech here uh because I frankly don't remember all I said.
I I went up there and winged it.
Um all I know is that I enjoyed it, had a good time, and I think the uh the audience did as well.
Now, when I was when I was flying up there yesterday, of course I was I I I took the movie Walk the Line with me.
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan.
I used to play Johnny Cash Records when I was a DJ in the 60s back in in my hometown when I started.
My favorite Johnny Cash, that's a toss-up between Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues.
Uh Ring of Fire kind of wins out, but it's it's a it's a toss-up.
So I got this movie, uh, just came out on DVD, so I was going to either watch it or watch the news.
And I figured, well, I'm working tomorrow, so and I may have to comment on the news this afternoon of my speech.
So I watched the news.
And there was so much going on yesterday.
It's one of those days you just knew that the left was going to take liberties with my absence.
So we got this.
Who do you think leaked, for example, this this uh to the AP, this videotape of uh of the FEMA meeting uh with Mike Brown.
Who who benefits from that leak?
Mike Brown.
I mean, the and wait, wait till you hear some of the sound bites we have today.
The media which demanded his head is now the drive-by media is resuscitating this guy.
And Wolf Blitzer was asking him, why do you think you're gonna f if Mike Brown should be.
You drove by, you lobbed a bunch of bullets where I happen to be.
You just stirred everything up, and I had to be the fall guy.
He didn't say that, but it's what I would have said were I he, were I him, if I were the guy.
And then I'm watching this story break out of uh Aurora, Colorado.
Uh this kid records his teacher, and the teacher's one of these long-haired maggot-infested FM types, and is up there ranting and raving, just what exactly the kind of stuff you hear on these lunatic fringe left-wing blogs, trying to tell these kids in a geography class that George Bush and Hitler have similar patterns of speaking, similar nodes and modes of operation.
Which frankly, I don't it's like I told the group yesterday, this is nothing new.
This is this is Ward Churchill all over again.
They've been leftist professors, teachers in the classroom, higher education, elementary school, institutions of higher learning, all over the place for 50 years.
What the new thing now, and the encouraging thing now is that the students, and these are all Rush Limbaugh.
These are all Rush Limbaugh.
These students, well, a Rush Limbaugh is a hascruel or college age student who grew up with the radio in the house turned on to this Program.
The parents listen to this program.
And the kids, the great thing, what's happening here, the sign to take from this thing in Aurora, Colorado, is that the kids are speaking up about it and they're not sitting there, and some of them are more armed with facts and information than their stupid teachers are, and they're and they're challenging them.
The teachers are going to keep doing this stuff because, well, I actually think.
Let me let me amend that.
They are going to keep doing this stuff.
I think we are on the verge here, or at the very beginning, of the um, what shall I say?
The assault that will end the monopoly the left has in the academy.
That's what I see here.
And it's going to be a slow long march.
But did you see all those kids that walked out of school yesterday?
Some were in protest of uh of what had happened to the long-haired uh dope smoking FM maggot infested uh teacher, and the others uh were supporting the uh the student.
Um I actually think it was none of that.
I think these are bright kids that saw a chance to get the hell out of prison for a few hours and said, hey, they can't stop us.
Let's go out and mingle and pretend it's recess.
And they use the excuse of wanting to be involved in some sort of protest.
We have uh I'm sure you've heard it, but I want to hear it for myself, the audio of uh of this long-haired maggot infested FM type teacher.
Uh what was his name?
Benish.
I think that's his name.
So we've got that, we've got if there's if there was ever any doubt that Bill and Hillary Clinton do not engage in pillow talk.
It is, or maybe any other kind of talk, it's the do by port deal.
Clinton's out there advising the UAE on how to get the deal done, trying to get them to hire Joe Lockhart while Hillary's out there railing against the deal.
Uh and she says, I I didn't know Bill was uh for this.
Now we don't know whether these people are ever telling the truth, so uh it's still a mystery, but at least the the top shelf story on this is that they're not talking.
They're not communicating, they're not speaking about uh about the story.
So we got we got a loaded stack here today, uh, folks, plus this story out of Appalachia, which it's more funny than anything else.
And the funny, nobody can find out what party these uh these people who have uh been indicted in in election fraud.
But here, let me just give you.
If there's any doubt This is a wise county, Pennsylvania.
The indictments show that the Virginia, I'm sorry, Wise Cyber Yeah, that's right.
Uh the indictments show that the investigation hasn't just been about pork rinds.
There were pork rinds and beer, right?
They were giving away pork rhymes and beer for votes, folks in and cigarettes.
Pork rhymes, beer, and cigarettes.
Now, how many Republicans do you know that eat pork rinds?
He dropped a bomb on me.
This is uh uh this is either brick or the Daz band, right?
It's a Dasman that it is.
Greetings, folks, welcome back.
It's one of my favorite tunes here in the bumper rotation.
The gap band.
That's right.
I knew it was I knew it was one of those three.
The uh the gap band.
Here's this this pork rind story, uh, folks, it just it's um wait till you hear that the grand jury has handed down a total of nearly 1,000
felony counts leveled against the 14 individuals on 269 alleged violations of law ranging from conspiracy to it's about pork runs.
Uh violations of law ranging from conspiracy to tampering with absentee ballots to forgery to illegal seizure of private property by law enforcement enforcement officials for their own personal use.
Excuse me.
300-page indictment.
This whole investigation began.
And what we can't find out what members, what what party these people are are the story does not say.
I've got two different versions of the story, and and there's no reference made to what party.
Snerdley called Up there.
And what was the first person you talked to?
The who was it?
You talked to the office of the city in there, wherever it was.
She's I'm just she just the what clerk?
Oh, she she's okay, it's even better.
Sturdly got hold of the person identifying herself as the water clerk in the city of Wise, Virginia.
She said, uh uh uh Appalachian.
And I'm I'm I don't vote myself and I don't know.
And then he called somebody else, and um they said, Well, you know, we really don't most people up here are independents.
The investigation began after residents of a government subsidized housing complex said that they were approached by a supporter of one of the candidates and offered cigarettes, liquor, and in one case, a bag of fried pork rinds for their votes.
Don't you just love it?
Umspecified number voters allegedly escorted inside the polls, had votes cast for them.
I wonder why.
The entitlement also alleges 55 instances of tampering.
Uh with there's more to this, but I'll I'll save it because I got I've got something else here for you.
Um, there's there's I've got two stories about diets uh in the stack of stuff.
One story is that uh Americans aren't dieting nearly to the extent that everybody believes they are, because they don't care anymore.
And they just want to be happy and they don't want to be miserable, and they don't want to deny themselves, and they don't want to go into these forced disciplined things that they know they're not gonna last the rest of their lives anyway, so they don't care.
And another guy says that our obesity problem in this country is worse than terrorism.
I've got both those stories in the stack.
Yes, uh our obesity problem is worse than global warming, it's worse than terrorism.
But third story is the charms from Health Daily News.
Sorry, Health Day News, new research.
New research suggests that a few extra pounds can be good for you if you're male and unlucky enough to be in a car accident.
Moderately overweight men are more likely to survive serious car accidents than either the thin or the very fat.
Apparently, a bit of extra padding provides extra protection, according to the to the uh to the study.
For reasons that aren't clear, women don't get the same protection from extra weight.
Being fat thinner in between didn't affect their likelihood of dying in a car accident one way or the other, the study found.
They've said that if you read the whole story, what you'll find is it's the spare tire on men, the love handles.
The no, no, no, not a beer gut.
We're not talking about well, if you if if you want to include a beer gut go, I'm talking about the spare tire.
That is what affords men extra protection against death and serious injury in an auto accident.
Yes.
According to Health Day News and this new study.
And I've, you know, I've always have a story here that says men who wear tight pants run the risk of reducing uh uh passion levels, if if you know what I mean.
Which is why they don't they don't call me old baggy drawers for nothing at the uh at the club.
Who's up first?
Do we have time?
We don't have time to take a call.
Uh we'll get a call after by the way, folks.
If you're wondering what's wrong with me, nothing.
It's just uh I'm very giddy when I'm working on like three or four hours with actually three hours sleep.
I'm in a fabulous mood.
I'm in a fine mood, and if you're saying, well, where are the issues, Rush?
I mean, all hills breaking loose.
We are gonna get to them.
It's a three-hour program.
But I had this funny stuff that I wanted to share with you first.
We've done some serious issues already, and we're gonna be expanding on them.
We got audio tape of this long-haired maggot-infested uh FM type uh teacher from uh Aurora, Colorado coming up next.
There's another story about Bush is being tried in a mock war crimes trial in a New Jersey school.
We'll be back in just a second.
Stay with us.
America's anchor man, America's truth detector, the doctor of democracy, general all round good guy, packaged as a harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
With half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair, here on open line Friday, 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
All right, it's Open Line Friday.
Let's let's see what excitement lurks out there behind those blinking yellow lights on a phone.
Janet in Venice, Florida.
You're up first.
It's a burden being first because the first caller on Open Line Friday sets the tone.
Well, thank you, sir.
You bet.
Um I saw my first Hillary Clinton bumper sticker the other day for president in Sarasota.
And recently given the distinction that city of being the meanest city to the homeless.
And I might add they went for Carrie in the last election.
But anyway, um I didn't have the reaction, but I thought I had when I saw it.
And I think it's because of your recent comments about her viability.
But my question is uh is her machine so great, political machine so organized, uh that it's a done deal.
Can they just howardine her in the primaries?
Is that possible?
Uh uh are you basically asking me.
First off, I have to ask you, d do you have Hillary fear?
I did, but it's it's lessening over the last couple months.
All right.
That's good.
I'm not I am not tolerant of Hillary fear.
I know that.
I'm I'm I'm really not.
But I I I I I sense uh using my powers of perception that what you're asking me here is is Hillary gonna go out there and suck up all the money, and therefore it doesn't matter who else wants to run if they don't get any contributions or enough money, then uh they don't have a chance anyway.
Is that basically what you're asking is?
Is her yeah, that's why I'm the host.
So if if uh I think that's very perceptive on your part.
I think she's that that process is underway.
That is one of the uh one of the techniques that they that they're using.
I don't think I think there will be uh opponents of hers in the primary.
I mean I know there will.
I don't know what chance they're going to have.
Right now it appears that she is the lock, that she is a f that her nomination is a fate accompli uh within the party.
Uh it doesn't bother me.
I I I frankly think that everybody that's that's joining the conventional wisdom on Hillary is misreading it just like most conventional wisdom this far out gets things wrong.
I think there's there's this thing called Clinton fatigue.
I I just I just don't think that that that people are gonna want to go through another four or eight years of the Clintons at the top, just like they wouldn't want another bush uh at this stage.
I uh it's it's of course way too soon to predict any of this, but the one thing I don't care how much money she gets, she's going to get a lot, but you the one Dick Morris is right about something.
Dick Morris is a uh he's uh is a Hillary file, if you will, and he's got polling data he can show you that the more she speaks, the worse her numbers get.
Right now she's got surrogates out speaking for she can't even figure out how she wants to sound.
She's responding to Ken Melman saying that she sounds mad, so she goes out and tries to sound soft and angelic and she can't pull it off.
She doesn't doesn't sound genuine.
When she's genuine, she sounds like a screeching ex-wife.
And and uh and I don't say that there's nothing against ex-wives or women, I'm just trying to be descriptive here for you.
Uh men will know what I mean by this.
And I I I'm I'm sorry, I'm just I have folks the requisite understanding of the danger a Hillary presidency would pose.
What I am not doing is quaking in fear over the possibility.
Uh yet I don't think that I ever will be.
I just I'm I think Hillary fear is rooted in paranoia that dates back, and it may be justified, dates back to the eight years of Clinton, where they got away with seemingly everything.
Uh the American people seem to get constantly fooled by these people.
Do you think it can happen again?
It may be, but I'm not that worried about it.
And I I don't think that she can meet everybody's image of her.
I don't think she can meet everybody's expectations of her, and I think the dirty little secret is that there will be women all over this country who will vote against her.
They may not say they're gonna do so in polls, but it will happen.
This is Shin in Fortuna, California.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Uh Shin.
Rush.
Anyway, uh, I was calling to say that there's what did I say?
What uh I think you said Shannon, but my name's Shin.
I'd say you said Shin, and I'm saying Shin.
Oh, okay.
I thought.
Anyway, um I was calling to I heard that there's a uh a bill going through the Senate right now on immigration.
And what I was calling to talk to you about is that uh I think that it's not only the immigrants coming into the country illegally that we need to take care of, but also that we need to go off after the employers that are Wait a second.
Well, you mean what do you mean what do you mean take care of?
That could cut both ways.
What do you mean?
Because that has a welfare state sound, or you it means like get rid of them.
Which one do you think?
Well, that it needs to be uh uh better regulated.
Um people need to uh you know I love people come to this country.
It's a great country, and you know, I love people to be here.
It's uh kind of opportunity.
But they need to do it through the proper channels.
Well, I agree.
I like that.
The employers that once they get here, that there are people that employ these people for low wages and they don't pay the uh uh workers' compensation taxes because these people are not legally here and they employ them.
There's something that needs to be done about the employers that are like they need to be fined or you know, something like that.
Well, there are a bunch of different versions, and I've I've got this in the stack, and I will I will get to it uh as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears.
There are a bunch of different versions.
I mean, it seems like every Tom Dick and Harry all of a sudden has an immigration bill uh in the Senate.
McCain's got one.
Who's who's McCain's with?
McCain uh McCain's joined forces with somebody.
Spectre has one.
Uh uh bunch of bills out.
They have some similarities, but they have some noted differences as well.
Now, specifically what you know what you talk about, the the employers, this is the problem that the Republicans have.
The Democrats are hard-pressed doing about it because they see a wave of new voters.
The Democrats have have have no luck in outreach.
The Democrats aren't persuading anybody to join their cause because there isn't a cause.
Nobody knows what they're for.
All anybody knows is that they are perpetually enraged and angry and trying to make a scandal out of everything.
But in terms of having an agenda, well, people like me know what it is because they're liberals and I know liberals like every square inch in my n glorious naked body.
I know what it is, and a lot of people, but they don't have an agenda that they're standing behind.
They don't have a uh uh uh position or policy paper stating what they're for.
Uh so they're not persuading anybody.
It's this wave of illegal immigrants.
Why do you think that Hillary's out there trying to change the law so that felons can vote?
That's their voter outreach program.
That and illegal alien on the Republican side.
It's what you said.
The rift on the Republican side is that uh there is a that's particularly in the agriculture uh industry, but there's a lot of others too that use the labor of illegal immigrants because it is cheaper.
And those people contribute mightily to the Republican Party.
And the Republican Party, like any other Republic uh any party is uh uh very attuned to people who give it money.
The ag industry and other businesses that use the illegals for cheap labor will say, okay, you get you then fine, be prepared for your consumer prices to skyrocket.
And that's the uh the anvil they're holding on everybody's head.
In the meantime, what gets lost here is this word illegal.
Uh and we hear excuse.
Well, we can't get them, we can't round them all up.
We can't find out who they all are.
Well, let's start spying on them then.
Hell, we're spying on everybody else.
Let's spy on the illegals.
Let's use the NSA program to spy on them.
Hell hell's bells.
We could we know when they're coming in.
Uh I'm I'm I'm just kidding.
I'm trying to tweak the libs in the audience here.
But I'll let me go through the uh the various forms of the uh immigration bill.
This is I still say this is an issue that uh one party is gonna triumph on at the expense of the other.
And it's a tough one for both because when you get right down to it, folks, when you get right down to it, neither party really wants to do much about it because Democrats see a new wave of potential voters and welfare state members, by the way, entitlement recipients.
And uh because they you have to understand that liberals have have contempt for people.
You cannot not be a liberal without having contempt for people.
You have to condescend.
You have to assume people can't do anything for themselves.
You you you you have to you have to have a contemptible view of humanity.
Uh and of course, we conservatives believe just the opposite.
So the Democrats see this wave of potential new voters and new entitlement uh members, and Republicans see cheap labor.
Uh and uh it's so it's uh it's a balancing act that somebody's gonna have to probably be like everything else in Congress.
They'll go through a motion, flap the gums, talk tough, and at the end of the day, come up with something nobody can understand that everybody will praise as having dealt with the issue.
Quick timeout, back after this.
Your guiding light through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, torture, humiliation, anger, famine, economic depression, housing bubbles, and even the good times.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
Here behind the golden EIB microphone on Open Line Friday to Minneapolis, Bill, you're up, sir.
Welcome and uh we're glad to have you with us.
Thank you.
Long time listener, first time caller.
Thank you, sir.
Uh remember your TV show enjoyed it then, and you've been on doing this now for almost twenty years, haven't you?
Uh we're in our eighteenth.
Very good.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah.
Um that kid in Colorado who recorded his teacher, and they're acting like uh it sounds like they're acting like because he broadcast this recording because he publicized it, uh, that the teacher got fired.
And I happen to notice one thing about that so called rant.
Um Wait, though, the teacher hasn't been fired.
It was just is a put on administrative leave.
Now the teacher's suing.
Um the fact is he's a geography teacher.
Where was the geography lesson?
Where was it is isn't this he's just a little long-haired maggot infested FM type activist.
Yeah.
That's all he did disguised as a teacher, but they're all over the place.
They're all over these schools.
Yeah, he sounded more like an activist than a teacher, but I mean, he should be suspended.
I think he ought to be canned for one reason.
He's not doing his job.
He's supposed to be teaching geography.
He's supposed to be.
Now, where is your concern for academic freedom, sir?
Oh, where's your concern for the first amendment, the fourth amendment, the fourteenth amendment, the twenty-third amendment?
My concern for academic freedom is fine as long as he wants to exercise uh he shouldn't be posing as a geography teacher.
If he wants to rant on about political stuff, he should be a political science teacher.
Or okay, let's say he was a political science teacher and said this.
Would that would would would it still upset you?
Uh yeah, it would, because comparing someone to Hitler, I mean, come on, where are the concentration camps and the gas ovens and stuff?
He's gonna compare Bush to Hitler.
Well, it's it's not even that's not the worst.
He would he he totally lied about what but what what Bush uh said about this nation's role in the world vis-a-vis God and so forth.
Oh, yeah, this guy agreed to be.
This guy is a typical, he is I mean, it's a stereotypical left-wing lunatic.
Yeah.
This is there's no difference in this guy and what you'll read if you go to Daily Cars to the Democrat Underground and move on.org, people for the American.
This is what they think the great thing is that these kids are not putting up with it anymore.
There's gonna be a new wave of this sort of protest, and whether it affects the teachers or not, th the the is remains to be seen.
But the great thing about this to me is that we no longer have a bunch of young skulls full of mush uh in Toto that are being shaped and formed and flaked into good little commie libs by these wacko teachers.
Now it is happening, but there's they're they're opposing it now.
It's it's not it's not automatic.
This I think, as I said, the first uh part of the program today, this is the first start with Ward Churchill, there have been other examples.
This is the first step toward beating back the monopoly of higher education and the academy, just like we've destroyed the monopoly of the uh of the of the drive-by media, uh television news's monopoly is gone and so forth.
It's gonna happen in academia too, and it's gonna be brought about long over uh long overdue process, but it takes a while for kids to be educated in the home by their parents, by me, uh, and then going through school and learning.
This kid, this kid knows more than his teacher knows.
I've saw the kid on television.
This kid knows more than his teacher knows.
Yeah, I think I think whoever if if somebody's in mind to give that kid a scholarship, you ought to get a good one to good college because that kid's got a good future, regardless of where he goes.
Yeah, but you know what he did?
You know how he brought this to light?
Did he call Dan Rather?
No.
No.
Did he call MSNBC?
Did he call he he called KOA, our blowtorch affiliate in Denver called Mike Rosen?
He knew he knew how to get this out.
Yeah, I I um I I first heard it on Glenn Beck.
It was on right after your show.
And I I missed I uh I didn't get all of your show yesterday, but I heard Glennbeck right after, and I thought we'd Well, you didn't miss much.
I wasn't here.
No offense, Roger.
I'm just kidding.
Here, I want to play the I want to play the bite.
I know you've all thanks for the call out there, Bill.
I'm I appreciate your uh your patience.
Here's this uh here's this uh teacher, Jay Benish.
Uh this is the the sound bite that we have.
And by the way, the uh I think one of the executives of KOA was at the speech yesterday, and I was talking to her about this.
She said, Have you heard the whole thing?
I said, No, I've just seen the excerpts on TV.
So she's you need to hear the whole thing.
You need to actually hear the whole tape of uh of this teacher.
So we need to we need to call KOA out there.
Haven't just email us an MP3 of it.
If uh if some enterprising member of the staff uh heard the order.
Here is the clip that we have.
He started off his speech talking about how America should be the country that dominates the world.
That we have been blessed essentially by God to have the most civilized, most advanced, best system, and that it's our duty as Americans to use the military to go out into the world and to make the world like us.
Stop the tape.
Now, as I listened to this, and as I heard it yesterday, I know this guy.
I know he listens to Bush in fear.
I know that he has no concept of American exceptionalism.
He doesn't understand it when it's spoken of.
That's his interpretation.
Bush has never ever said that God chose America to go out and make the world like us.
Bush and every other president that we've ever had, from George Washington on, has thanked God for the blessings bestowed on this nation.
But the truth is the blessings bestowed on this nation come from our founding fathers, their rooted belief in creation, in God.
It's undeniable, but it is not to say that we're out there.
Uh the we we do think, based on a number of uh indicators that you can cite, that we have a pretty good system.
We have freedom.
Freedom is what we're attempting to spread.
Liberate people from tyranny.
We're not conquerors.
We're liberate, but this guy doesn't have the brains to understand it because he's got so much bias, he has so much pent-up anger as a liberal, he cannot have his worldview challenged, so he has to he has to interpret what his political enemies say as confirming what he thinks they're saying.
That's why he's dangerous as a teacher.
He's just lousy at it.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, first hour of Open Line Friday in the can and is soon to be transported under armed guard to a secret warehouse where artifacts soon to be displayed in a limb museum of broadcasting.
