Time Text
Okay, folks, as usual.
I nailed it.
I nailed it.
Arlene in Kensington, Maryland.
I was exactly right.
Greetings, folks, Rush Limbaugh on Friday.
It's time.
Live from New York City.
It's open line Friday.
Raring and ready to go, revved up behind a golden EIB microphone from high atop.
The EIB building in Midtown Manhattan.
I am America's anchor man, Rush Limbaugh.
You can be on this program like millions of others have been.
My dialing 800, well, I don't know, we don't take that many calls, even over 18 years.
I doubt we've had a million people on this show.
Thousands.
Yeah, maybe hundreds.
But you can be one of them, 800-282-2882 if you'd like to try.
So Arlene from Kensington, Maryland called to tell us that uh uh Montgomery Blair High School, uh, some students are gonna walk out on Monday, uh, some big protest day, April 10th, National Day of Action and Mass Rally, and that somebody, the superintendent, is gonna is gonna give them community service for community service time.
Essentially, you can say they're gonna they're gonna reform of uh of a grade uh for walking out of school.
Why didn't they do this when I was a student?
So uh Mr. Winterbully Cole Screener went to the to the uh this the Montgomery Blair High School's online student newspaper website.
And boy, they're organized promoting the hell out of this.
Students to join immigration protest in D.C. Smob, that's uh what is that?
Smob.
Well, that's it's an acronym for something, but anyway, helps organize student event.
Smob helps organize oh, member of the board of the Board of Education.
Anyway, it's it's by the online foreign desk editor.
This at a high school newspaper, they got a foreign desk editor.
And here's the story.
Senior Sebastian Johnson, student member of the Board of Education, is helping to organize students in Montgomery and neighboring counties to participate in the National Day of Action and Mass Rally on April 10th at the Washington Monument.
The event's being organized nationally by the National Capital Immigration Coalition and local locally by Casa de Maryland, an organization that provides services to DC metropolitan area immigrants.
Protests will be held simultaneously in major cities across the fruited plain, including Nueva Ortic, Miami, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Fini, and San Antonio.
Uh Gustavo Torres, executive director of Casa de Maryland, contacted Sebastian Johnson, student member of the Board of Education on March 29th about publicizing the event among Montgomery County students.
So the Kooks, the Kooks have gotten their hands into the high school and are protesting or leading the protest.
We did further research.
Just to let you know this is not so wacko given where it is.
Arlington and Montgomery counties in Maryland are the only local jurisdictions, from the Washington Times from 2004.
April of 2004, about two years ago, Arlington Montgomery counties are the only local jurisdictions that do not check the immigration status of applicants for local housing subsidies, allowing illegal aliens to receive taxpayer-funded rent assistance.
So is it any wonder that whoever runs the school system there would give community service credit for the students that walk out to join the protest Monday at the Washington Monument?
Yes, let me read that again.
Montgomery County spends $3.7 million a year on rent assistance for 1,600 households.
And Arlington County spends about $2.4 million a year on housing grants for $680 household.
Neither county verifies the immigration status of the head of household or of household members who get help in paying rent.
So thanks for cluing us into this, Arlene.
Right, this is Montgomery County that tried to ban smoking in your house.
That's exactly right.
Because I think this was the place they had some wacko woman who lived football fields away from somebody smoking inside the house and claimed she could smell the uh exhaust from his cigarette 300 feet away with the windows closed.
And so the city council did, well, we're gonna ban smoking in your home.
And uh I think that's the it that might not be Montgomery.
Somewhere that happened, but I know in Montgomery County they did try to ban smoking in your house.
Um so yeah, we're dealing with WACOs.
Now, folks, I hope you heard the opening monologue of this uh of of the show.
Uh I can't repeat it because I want to always move forward.
If you missed it, uh it'll be on the website, of course, transcript and uh audio, but and Ditto Cam, too, if you're a subscriber, but it was all about I'm not playing ball with this stupid idiotic story on Bush leaking, authorizing Libby to leak, it's a non-story, it's much ado about nothing, and it's based on a totally false premise and template.
Instead, I gave a very uplifting uh uh monologue on the need to stay focused on offense regarding the great legitimate substantive economic boom that's going on in this country, despite the obstacles that the people of this country have had the last four years since 9-11 on the war in Iraq and a whole bunch of things.
The economy is rolling.
We are beyond statistical full employment.
Okay, two things.
Nancy Pelosi just issued a release, a statement.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to President Bush's remarks this morning on the economy.
Quote, President Bush should ask American families, millions of whom are struggling to make ends meet and going deeper in debt if they believe there is an economic resurgence that's strong, broad, and benefiting all Americans.
With tax cuts for the wealthiest few causing red ink as far as the eye can see, incomes falling and our jobs moving overseas.
The economic record of President Bush is dismal for middle class families.
The Bush economy is going in the wrong direction.
Gas prices are sky high, health costs are an overwhelming burden for too many Americans.
Democrats will not compromise our national security with mountains of debt owned by foreign governments or undercut our domestic strength with an America that only works for the few.
Americans are demanding change, and Democrats have a better plan.
An America that works for everyone.
I thought Cynthia McKinney was the stupid one.
But now I got second thoughts.
This is asinine.
This is based solely on if Bush says it, we gotta go out and we gotta destroy him and disagree with it.
Bush is wrong, Bush lies, Bush is crazy.
The economic figures are not Bush's.
He was just announcing them.
The economic figures are legitimate.
They come from various departments of the government.
Jobs more created, stunning the experts.
Employment, uh unemployment down to 4.7%.
There is no housing bubble.
We're not built on a pseudo stock market that was eventually going to bubble up and bubble out.
We're not we're not basing economic strength on accounting schemes and corporate uh scandals like at Enron and WorldCom and uh and you name them.
I'm I mean if this if this economy were happening in the 90s, we would be writing uh or reading articles about how Bill Clinton's face ought to be the next one on Mount Rushmore, and this economy would be the only story that they would be talking about in the drive-by media.
And here comes Nancy Pelosi.
This is the stupidest.
It's the most essential, and it falls right into play.
They have to make you see doom and gloom.
They are obsessed with you.
Looking out over the horizon and seeing smoldering ruins where great jobs once were.
They want you to see hopelessness.
They want you in utter despair.
If a couple of you opened your office window and jumped out and committed suicide and make their day.
They are trying to foster an attitude of pessimism, hopelessness, defeat everywhere they go.
It's stunning.
In the United States of America, I can understand this if they were down in Mexico.
I could understand this if they were in any of a number other countries in the world, but not here.
This is quintessentially not what America is.
They are not speaking for quintessential Americans.
They have totally lost touch with what it is that makes an American an American.
They aren't in touch with it anymore.
In fact, they resent it.
They privately probably see these numbers and start cursing, get angry.
This is not supposed to happen.
Bush is the worst president.
Bush lied, Bush this, everything, tax cuts for the rich, all this is not supposed to happen.
They can't figure it out.
They're watching, and what they're seeing is right before their eyes, the very proof that their belief system and their policies fail.
And that those they disagree with and oppose succeed.
And so they're gonna do everything they can to convince you that what's real isn't.
They're gonna do everything they can.
But the problem is they send out airheads like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed to do it.
And frankly, who else do they have?
Now try this.
This is from this is the Democrat website.
And and here's here's the quote at the bottom of the page of this website.
Democratic priorities are clear.
We will fight to get the economy back on track.
We will create jobs, and we will help unemployed workers.
And they put that out today with the employment news that we get, the economic news that we get.
They're in worse shape than even I imagined.
And I see if I look out, I see hopelessness and despair, I see the Democratic Party.
Back in just a sec.
And we are back.
I I had this story buried deep in the uh in the uh immigration statement.
Let me get let me get it.
Let me I've got to share it with you because I just this is uh yes, yes.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, here it is.
The uh Reverend Dax, hmm, uh is nowhere on the immigration fight.
And I've I've pointed this out to you.
I don't know how many times, and I've wondered why.
I mean, this is the next big civil rights movement, according to the uh uh esteemed uh Senator Kennedy, and yet I would think that would be upsetting to the uh Reverend Dax and Al Sharpton, uh hearing that their movement is now the illegal immigration movement.
So an interesting little story, this is uh from the Associated Press.
Blacks and Latinos are often united on social and political issues, but they often differ when it comes to immigration.
Newcomers make black progress harder, said Wesley Crawford, who works at the source of knowledge bookstore in New York, or Newark, I'm sorry.
It's a misconception that they're taking jobs we don't want.
If you give people a good job, they'll work.
So we've got the seeds of discontent here.
Newcomers make black progress harder.
White Hispanic immigrants have protested a proposed crackdown on illegal immigration.
The nation's most prominent black leaders have all been in New Orleans to try to stop the upcoming local election.
Shortly after the storm, the uh Reverend Dax and others complained that Latino workers seem to have more access than blacks to the rebuilding jobs in New Orleans.
Bruce Gordon, president of the NAA L C P said that African American and Latino bonds are strong, and his spirit was there at the immigration marches, even though they didn't show up in person.
Civil rights leaders say we're all united, but the average person on the streets taking great offense at this group coming in and essentially taking over, said Earl O'Fari Hutchinson, a black writer living in Los Angeles.
Many blacks feel threatened by this immigration movement.
The average person on the streets taking great offense at this group here coming in and essentially taking over.
And that's another fascinating thing to watch the Democrats on this.
They're willing to bust up their coalition with big labor and the NAACP over this immigration bill.
I mean, it's fascinating to watch.
Here's John in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Uh John in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Are you there?
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Thanks, sir.
Um, I am a conservative, and I do live in Massachusetts, and I've lived here my entire life.
And my problem is I don't know which conservative state is the best conservative state to move to.
Now I realize that you may not know, but do you have any ideas of what categories that I should be looking for?
What what what things that I should be looking at to best judge where to move to?
Uh uh what it is the primary reason you want to move to uh get out get away from a bunch of liberals and be surrounded by conservatives?
Exactly.
I I am I am I I've I I've I've lived here my entire life and and most of my life I have lived under the Ted Kennedy mentality uh uh thought process, and it is just so hard to um to to to even air my views around here, then and then uh I mean there are so many places you can go.
I mean, look at the red states out there.
There are so what I do what what kind of climate do you want to live in?
Do you want to stay where it's cold and uh all that in the wintertime?
No, I I'd I'd rather move to a warmer state.
Um but there is narrows it down.
Um down to the um Southwest somewhere.
You want to go to Southwest?
Correct.
You want to go to Southwest.
Um you know what I would do if I were you I I'd go I'd if if if the Southwest is what you want, I'm not I don't want to offend any states here.
Uh that I believe out of the way.
I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't want you to.
I'd look at Texas.
I'd look at Texas.
They've got no state income tax down there.
It is a Republican state.
Uh I mean, you got liberals everywhere you go, but uh but but Texas is a conservative state.
The people down there are absolutely fabulous.
Texans, you can't you can't do better than it.
And it's it's an indigenous state.
I mean, Texans are Texans.
There's some states, most of the people there have migrated from other states, uh and and which is fine.
I mean, I uh but I'm saying Texan Texas is fabulous.
It's close to the Southwest, it's it's um uh depending on what part of it you live in.
But you don't want to mess around right now with uh with uh New Mexico or Arizona because you're gonna get caught up in this immigration business.
Texas, too, but it's big enough that there are places you can live there and have fabulous climate, great income opportunities, no state income tax, and they do things right there.
You'd love it.
I love it every time I go to Texas.
It's it's it's funny that you should mention uh immigration issue, like we haven't heard it heard um uh uh uh uh enough about it yet.
Um just one quick question.
Yes.
If all of these illegal immigrants are leaving school and they're calling for a May Day first uh uh uh uh timeout where they're not gonna do anything for a day, and and all of the governors and uh excuse me, uh all of the senators are listening to that, then why shouldn't uh American take a day off and let the government hear our voice.
Well, that's uh that's that's not gonna happen.
Uh there are two kinds of people in this country.
Well, there's there are people that protest and the people that make the country work.
And the people that make the country work don't have time to get into silly displays of phony civil disobedience.
They got too many important things going on, like making the country work.
And I it it's it's that's that's not the the way to go about this.
Let these people go on strike, let them have their marches, let them have their protests, and let them identify themselves.
Let them show everybody that this has nothing to do with immigration.
This is this is I'll tell you what this is going to shape up to be.
This is the next attempt to organize a bunch of people around a movement to grow government, have more socialism, uh, and and it's the hate America crowd that's organizing all these things, and I did it.
And some of the people joining it are just plain old dupes and useful idiots and don't know what they're doing.
They think they're getting involved in a cause because everybody wants to matter.
Most of these protesters are just sad lost souls.
They don't like themselves, they think their lives are worthless and meaningless, and they want to have meaning.
We all want to have meaning in our lives.
And I think half of the anti-war movement is that today.
They just want attention focused on them, and they want to be seen as good people, nonviolent, loving everybody.
We don't want to think ill at people, we don't want to kill people, we don't want to torture people, we're good people.
They're just sad.
They're just they're losers.
And they know it, and they're trying to turn that around.
They want to matter.
And so they're easy to recruit for these marches.
And the leaders, Cindy Sheehan, classic examples.
Cindy, that that was totally manufactured by a PR firm out in San Francisco.
And she ends up being the exploited foil, and and she got what she wanted out of it, and she's too clueless to understand she's been used.
And she's too clueless to understand she's been dumped overboard now.
She's still out there thinking she's a queen of the day.
So this next pro bunch of protest marches will have its share of those people.
But the people putting it together and organizing this have nothing to do with immigration except to the extent that it will harm this country.
Anything that will harm this country and set this country back and punish this country for being mean spirited, evil, imperialistic and whatever, they will promote it.
And if so they look at illegal illegal immigration as something that definitely not good for the country.
It would weaken it, and that's what they're all about.
And to join them in a counter protest, it's a waste of time.
As I say, there are way, way, way too many important things to do.
Look at you've heard the old axiom, folks.
Five percent of the people pull the cart, ninety-five percent are in the back riding along, telling them where to go.
And they're never right about where to go.
So the five percent that make the country work, all of us included in it, five percent, we're not gonna go on strike on anything.
Speaking of life, I am Rush Limbaugh, not only full of life, lover of life, I am your host for life.
The E. I.B. Network and Open Line Friday, John in Silver Spring, Maryland.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Hi.
Hey Rush, how are you today?
Good.
Thanks very much.
Awesome.
Hey, I just wanted to clarify this Montgomery County, Maryland uh thing for you, and um basically explain what the situation is.
This is a yearly program every year that students participate in.
In other words, there's multiple nonprofits that people can get organized with and pre-approved organizations in Montgomery County.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You mean every year around this time students leave school or on break or whatever and they join whatever protest of the day is going on or No, there's no there's no leave school.
Next week is spring break, uh 10th through the 17th uh on the website.
Uh you should have seen that when you were looking at it.
But anyway, 10th to the 17th is spring break, and what this is is actually um some portion of the of the SSL hours, like I think sixty hours is the amount per year they'd like them to do, which is students volunteering with organizations.
Now, I I remember when that when that passed, I I I was a g I was appalled uh what when the when the when that but it's Maryland, uh we understand that.
Sure.
But but here's the thing Montgomery County and Casa de Maryland are two different organizations, meaning Montgomery County schools are not sponsoring their students to go to the rallies per se and saying, well, we support them.
We just the Montgomery County schools are saying, okay, go to the rally because it's a learning experience and because the approved agency, Casa de Maryland, is there.
So in other words, I don't know how to explain it, but there's uh there's no skipping school, first of all.
And like I said, the the idea is because it's spring break, is that why it's not skipping school?
Right.
No one's skipping school at all.
And and in fact, my my kid's gonna be doing that actually there.
And and and I told them to go down and watch and listen and really listen to what these people are saying and listen if it makes sense.
There is a learning experience.
This is where you show how failed attempts or attempts at a at at um uh public pol uh, you know, it's uh influence public policy.
How old is your son?
Uh fifteen.
Fifteen.
Yeah, and I want him to go.
Are you gonna go with him?
Nah, because I I gotta work.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
Yes.
I thought you you so he's gonna go, you have to work.
Yeah.
And they're getting the the school you say they're they're not sponsoring this, but they they support it.
Well, they support the children learning things organizations.
Right.
I think the school should be applauded for realizing they can learn more outside the classroom in Montgomery County than in the classroom.
If this is what they think, if this is a genuine learning experience.
It is joining a protest march.
Yes, it is.
Because Rush, think about it.
If you were to sit there and tell me that like freedom of speech meant nothing, then going to a f then going to a protest would be moot.
No, but who tells them wait a minute, nobody's gonna try to shut these people down.
Right.
But there's a point is I want my kid to understand that even a completely ridiculous point, like something that's just i decriminalizing illegal aliens, whatever, you know, blah, blah, blah.
It's illegal.
So there you go.
But my kid understands that.
Well, I don't I uh I last thing I want to do, I'm not I'm I'm not a parent.
I don't want to in any way argue with you about uh the decisions you make uh as a parent.
So don't interpret I mean I I'm I I would never do that.
Uh it's none of my business, and it's uh uh totally a decision that if you feel comfortable with, that's great.
I just use my personal experience.
I have never been to one protest march, and I understand everything there is to know about them and who does them because they're always televised.
The media will put everything you need to know on television about who these people are.
You don't need to go.
You don't I mean I I know I I just uh but that's just me, and I'm not being critical of uh of of your decision.
I do recall there are reasons to do these, but your son's too young.
Uh I I were I remember I was at Kerry was going to some rally.
He was speaking at University of Texas in Austin, and some student in his early twenties, uh phoned in and asked if he should go.
He didn't want to go.
And I said, go.
It's a carry rally, you're gonna have practically half the co-eds on campus in one spot.
You may get lucky.
You know, there are reasons to do these things.
Different sort of credit, different sort of education, different sort of learning, and then I said, go go listen to Kerry for us and tell us what he said and what the reaction was.
So we we turned it into a productive thing uh in that case.
But that wasn't really a protest.
That's a that's a candidate appearance during the uh during the presidential race.
Uh Mark in Ann Arbor, Michigan, you're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hey, Rush, 18 year old, first time caller, giga dittoes.
Megadiddos are no longer enough.
Thanks very much.
Hey, I want to know about the dynamic, what you think.
I don't hear the media talking about this, but what is that dynamic now that I al Qaeda's bombing all these Shiite shrines?
What's the Al Qa dynamic between Al Qaeda and Iran right now?
And where does Al Sastani feel about Iran?
Is he he seems to hold them at arm's length, but what's the relationship there?
I don't hear the media talking about that very much.
Oh, the president the president came out in his most recent press conference and nailed Iran for meddling in Iraq, and it was shortly after that that uh that uh Iran's okay, let's talk.
Sort of like when the president pointed fingers at the media and said, Okay, you guys are helping the enemy spread their propaganda with your incessant focus on on negative uh news coming out of Iraq.
They they they went president criticized us, they've been on a they've been on a in a tizzy ever since.
And and Iran, you know, being called on it by the president, everybody knows that that that Iran's involved and uh Syria as well.
Um I uh the the dynamic is is obvious.
Iran doesn't want a democratic Iraq.
They don't want any part of it.
They have no desire for it.
No, no, none of the uh terror master regimes over there do.
Syria, Egypt.
Uh it's they're scared to death up.
But I'll I'll tell you your question focuses on or focuses me on something else.
Uh yeah, Iran's working on this with Syria and they're meddling in Iraq, but let me give you some numbers here.
These are numbers just today from the Brookings Institutions Iraq Index.
Now the Brookings Institute, think tank, they're not they're not, you know, right wing bunch.
Brookings uh has its share of moderates, centrists, and leftists.
And they have something called the Iraq Index, tracking variables of reconstruction and security in post-Saddam Iraq.
And listen, I got four items here.
U.S. troops killed in hostile action in Iraq last six months from October 2005 to March 2006, in order.
81, 76, 50, 49, 43, 25.
That's the last six months in reverse order uh U.S. troops killed in hostile action.
That's big improvement.
Iraqi military and police killed in Iraq last six months in order.
215, 176, 193, 189, 158, and 193.
The three months before that were 304, 282, and 233.
So uh September, August, July, uh you see an even huger trend.
Car bombings.
Last six months from October to March in order, 70, 70, 70, 68, 30, 30.
Now let me ask you a question here.
Given that the U.S. troops killed in hostile action uh last October was 81 and in March was 25, and given that car bombings in the last six months, October to March, 70 last October, 30 in March.
Have you seen corresponding media coverage that would make lead you to believe that fewer U.S. troops are killed in hostile fire and that there are fewer car bombs?
My guess is you don't see anything of the sort.
My guess is you don't see anything that makes you think it's getting worse.
You probably think there are more car bombs.
You probably think that there are more deaths taking place.
There's one other category here.
Civilians killed in Iraq last six months, October 2005 to March 2006, in order.
527, 826, 532, 732, 950, 446 in March.
And in fact, the two months before, so if we're looking at uh September, August, and September of last year, 2,849 and 1,129.
So last August 2489 civilians killed in Iraq in March 446.
So in every one of these categories, there is a demonstrable dramatic trend toward the better.
And it I just know that there's no corresponding reporting out there.
So it tells me that the military side of this is showing great success.
The holdup in Iraq right now, though you've heard this.
Well, they better get their act together over there.
They better put together a government.
We're gonna the Democrats want to put a timeline on them getting a government or we pull out.
Just lunacy.
And that's good old John Kerry, who, uh by the way, served in uh Vietnam.
I'll tell you what needs to really be focused on now with these numbers, especially this way.
Let's just go destroy the enemy.
You know, there's this thing called a limbaugh doctrine, ladies and gentlemen.
I made this famous when first discussing the Israeli-Palestinian snafu many, many moons ago.
Little Indian lingo there.
And it is this peace follows victory.
You don't put peace together as in the midst of fighting a war.
By definition, it's not possible.
And all of this pressure to force the Iraqis to come up with a government while a war's going on is a bit mistaken.
I think there's let's let's go beat the enemy.
Let's focus on defeating the and I'm I'm not saying that we're not focusing on that uh exclusively, but let's make it the real point, not the Iraqi government as the definition of success, because that'll only happen in full-fledged peace.
You know, we uh uh in this country's history is one of how many decades did it take us to figure all this out ourselves, try to force it on these people uh and then claim well and uh haven't had any brilliant leaders surface over there.
We uh you have to give them time.
In the meantime, continue to focus on defeating the enemy.
That's victory, and peace will follow that.
A quick time out, don't go away.
Yeah.
You know, it reminds me we're gonna need a SUV update theme today, uh, in a UGO gets one of the most heroic stories of sacrifice, uh ladies and I have ever seen, an SUV actually well, I'm not ready yet.
We'll do it in a telling me it's ready.
Right.
An SUV actually gave its life for its occupants in an avalanche.
It is the most heartwarming style.
I've almost almost started crying.
Get this a second middle school teacher in Pensacola, Florida.
What middle school's junior high, right?
Okay.
Why did they change it to middle school?
Why?
Too many words in junior high.
Uh a second middle school teacher was arrested for allegedly letting students skip gym class if they paid a dollar every day.
Second, second guy.
Now, uh if this, if the teacher, if I had a kid in the public school system, and the teacher covered other subjects, this might be a price worth paying not to have a kid be taught.
But PE, I don't know.
How tough can that be?
Here's uh here's Janie in Yuma, Arizona.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Make it out of us.
Thank you, Janie.
Well, I'll tell you what.
No, we're calling basically from the front lines of this legal immigration problem we're having.
And on the front page of my newspaper this morning, and this is about the second incident in two months.
When these illegal aliens come across the border, they get these car wrecks in uh in our city, and they get sent to a hospital.
Well, here's the deal.
The hospital is not allowed to ask what their immigration status is, and border patrol is not allowed to sit there and collect them afterwards.
So we get them turned loose in the street.
So you know, how long is it going to take for them to figure out we just get wrecks on purpose, and there's our free ticket.
Well, they're never gonna figure it out because they're not allowed to find out.
Yeah.
I have I have the story.
It's a good thing I'm a multitasker.
I printed the story out when you mentioned it.
Here it is.
Crash, it's from the uh it's from the Yuma Sun.
And uh, which is where you're calling from.
Crash sends 13 illegals to Y RMC, nine later back out on street.
Here's the story.
A loaded smuggling vehicle.
Sometimes all you can do is laugh at this stuff.
I mean, a loaded smuggling vehicle collided with a large pickup yesterday morning, sending 13 suspected illegal.
They're in a smuggling vehicle, and they're suspected of being uh illegal aliens.
Send them to the hospital.
Nine of those 13 were later released from the hospital, but were not taken into border patrol custody, similar to a March 15th incident.
Yuma County Sheriff's Captain Evan Bratcher said that the Brown Ford Aerostar van was absolutely a smuggling vehicle, and that all those inside were illegal aliens.
The van struck a lifted Ford F-250 truck at 8th Street and Dora Avenue at 757 a.m.
I love these small town papers, and they give the exact address of where somebody lived and died or where they're homeless, broken it or whatever.
Love this.
Uh Yuma Regional Medical Center spokeswoman uh uh Michelle Hedington said that nine of the patients were treated released, two were transferred to Phoenix hospitals, one was sent to a Mexicale hospital, and one was admitted to YRMC.
Uh uh Border Patrol policy does not allow agents to sit in the parking lot of hospitals or enter emergency rooms.
Doing that would violate our policy and the YRMC, the hospital's policy as well, said the border patrol spokesman Richard Hayes.
So they brought everything they have a wreck, they destroy property in the process of being smuggled in here.
They get hurt, they go to hospital, everybody knows who they are and where they are.
The law says nothing can be done.
And the real question is 13 illegals, nine back.
Who paid the hospital bills?
Who paid the hospital?
We all pay the hospital bills, folks, the citizens of Yuma, wherever.
Everybody's paying the hospital bills for this.
This is and no, this is just wow.
I appreciate being alerted to that, uh, Janie.
I have an idea, I have an idea for these Senate solons, the McCain's, the Hagels, the uh Spectres, the guys who wanted to give us this breakthrough bill.
How about you prove your scheme before making it a law?
Prove it.
They want to send back in this breakthrough bill, they want to send back all the immigrants uh who have not been here two years.
Right?
All right, we don't need a new law for that.
Just go do it.
Show us how this is gonna work.
Do what they propose.
Round up the terrible twos and send them home.
And if you show you can do that, then come talk to us about a bill.
But prove you can do this.
You sit up there and want to foment all this legislation.
You don't need we don't need any new legislation anyway.
But this one's simple.
Okay, if the people have been here too, if you if they've been here less two years, we're gonna send them back.
Do it.
We're watching.
We want to see how you pull this off.
And if you can do it, well then we'll talk about the rest of the bill.
Stay with us.
Yeah, Democrats have done it again, attacking another uh uh legacy American company.
Democrats accuse Coca-Cola of being heavy-handed with schools.
Walmart, Coca-Cola, ExxonMobil, General Motors.
Look at the list of enemies.
Democrat Party activists had list for you, and you'll find out that they are they despise capitalism.
We'll be back.
