Time Text
Uh greetings to youth real seekers, music lovers, conversationalists.
All across the fruited plain, Rush Limbaugh, soon to be in midst billowing clouds of fragrant aromatic first, second, and maybe even third hand premium cigar smoke.
One of the finest aromas one can create for one's environment.
We are here at 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
If you uh if you're just joining us, if you're welfare recipient just getting out of bed, trust fun kid that doesn't have anything to do, uh uh blue blood that inherited all your money, rich Republican wannabe, what have you for just joining us?
We're going to repeat the uh opening segment of the program today by popular demand.
People throughout the audience are demanding to hear this again.
Uh some aren't, but I know why.
Uh one of the uh one of the critics look, we've heard it.
We'd rather hear more excellence from you uh that's that's original.
Uh we don't hear repeats in the same show.
Besides, everybody's stolen your idea and everybody does what you did.
That may be true.
I did start this trend of analyzing foreign leaders who come to this country to make speeches in their native tongue.
And I and the translation, yeah, it's intended to be funny, but as I've always told you folks, whether it's serious discussion, whether it's satire, parody, humor, whatever, there's always a point to be made in everything that we do here.
And uh I know that that John Stewart uh does this routinely, but nobody watches that.
Uh uh in comparison.
But besides that, I mean I'm I'm the originator of this.
I started this technique, and uh there's no one like the master to continue to do these.
So, President Who.
The official arrival ceremony at the White House today on I think it was the South Lawn.
And this is how it went.
Thank you.
Thank you, uh Mr. President, for your kind invitation that I know you really don't mean.
I wanted a full state visit, complete with state dinner.
So you denied my request.
Instead, I have to stand here in the sun, making like I'm enjoying this.
I know you hate state dinners because you go to bed at nine o'clock, but I wanted to party.
Like when our good friend Bill Clinton was here.
Tung.
And I would have told you where Bin Laden is if you'd given me the chance to boogie.
You really think I would spend time in your shack in Texas?
I see enough shacks every day without going to yours.
No way was I gonna have a summit in a shack as you originally wanted.
No Chaicom leader will be caught dead in a photo op chopping wood.
In fact, no chicom leader will be caught dead.
Yo, how can she also want to uh thank the American people for stopping the Dubai ports deal?
We own your ports, and we will strangle you.
We don't need Dubai.
So Hansung.
Everybody from Bill Gates to George Bush is complaining to me about intellectual property.
You know this, America.
Your intellectual property is ours.
Bill Gates is an idiot, thinking he'd intimidate me.
I I wouldn't use windows if he paid me.
I'm a Mac guy.
that Gordie Hauser has made me sick.
She is old Kangji Fashion.
Why don't you shoot that protester?
Run her over with a tank.
Or send her to your prison called Club Gitmo and Torture.
This is sabotage.
You telling me that President Bush can't shut that woman up.
King Jong Il warned me about this.
I should have listened.
Tang qi Kung Hong Pia.
To me, Nyangore Ming, you hauled.
Anyway, back to Bill Gates.
That gaudy house of his made me somebody shut that woman up or I'm leaving.
Too many.
That gaudy house at Gates has made me sick.
He's a true capitalist pig, And he's proud of it.
Such arrogance.
And his menu, only three courses for the future dictator of the world.
And I had my choice between halibut and steak.
I'm tired of eating fish.
You can't eat filet mignon with chopsticks.
Tempted to tell him I wanted some white rice with missiles from Comrade Charlie Tree's restaurant in Little Rock just to see what he would do.
And I don't appreciate being lectured to about our currency.
We own most of your national debt.
We have destroyed a significant portion of your manufacturing base with wages lower than you even pay those fool immigrants.
If you keep this up, we're going to sell the debt of yours that we own to Dubai.
This is a country that has a significant impact on the world.
Here's the truth.
You are a bunch of weak, devout cowards.
More interested in watching American idol than you are in defending your weak, pathetic capitalist pig country.
And by the way, the way you portrayed us as inept on your show 24, we knew Jack Bauer was alive all the time.
He's not worth dealing with.
We will bury you.
The Chinese people are slaves.
They will die on my command.
Besides, I need to get rid of about 300 million of them anyway because we can't feed them.
What better way than by using them to bury you?
Which reminds me.
How come you're deporting our illegal immigrants who arrive in shipping containers at ports we run?
yet you open your border to the Mexicans.
You let Fox get away with solving his problems, that you stand in our way while pledging mutual understanding and cooperation?
We'll bury you.
You think we have mutual strategic interests?
Wrong.
Unless you Americans want to be buried.
You believe any phony compliment offered by anybody.
You don't even know me, and you're treating me better than your own president.
I know what your stupid drive-by media is gonna do with the protester.
They're gonna get mad at her.
They're gonna ask why in the world would Bush allow this to happen to disrespect me, a communist.
You are such softies.
will bury you.
As far as the lunatic in Iran is concerned, the only thing stopping us from burying you now, and I agree with that lunatic.
The only thing stopping us from burying you now is George W. Bush.
We're patient people.
We will wait till you elect a Democrat as president.
As communists, we understand how to scare the hell out of them.
We encourage global warming because we get away with it without punishment.
We know this is because that you are scared to death of us, as you should be.
We will bury you.
And don't cry to me about oil and gasoline prices, Mr. President, when we have our meeting.
We hope you continue to try and put your big oil executives in prison.
We admire that.
But don't think it makes us your friend.
We have every bit the right to steal the world's resources as you do, and we will continue to do so.
I've already had secret meetings with the Saudis.
They know that we are the future leader of the world, plus they know we will bury them too.
If they don't supply our needs, we intend to bury them anyway.
All this talk about limiting nuclear weapons is boring.
Who do you think you are to tell the people of the world they can't kill you and anybody else they want?
We agree with your Democrats.
Senator Kennedy, Senator Kerry.
America poses the biggest threat to freedom, security, prosperity.
We look forward to working with them in a few years.
We also look forward to expanding cooperation and technology and culture, because without yours, we don't have any technology.
And not much culture, besides, we don't allow culture.
Speaking of technology, we bought quite a bit of technology from our friend Bill Clinton, your ex-president.
But we haven't seen all the deliveries.
And now we learn that our friend Bill also allowed the stupid Iranians to nuke up.
We will not be humiliated like this.
Do not try to export your liberalism to us.
We have the real thing in China.
don't need cheap imitators.
Now listen to me on Taiwan.
I'm only going to say this once.
We We own it.
It's ours.
And they are dead.
Or they soon will be.
If you stop us, if you even try to stop us, we will bury you sooner than we intend.
China means that's hens of it.
When I stand here in lie to you about working with the international community to build an enduring peace, I'm almost gag.
I guess I couldn't care less about peace.
We're into domination.
But I know your sappy leftists love the talk of peace.
I almost thought about showing up here in some Birkin stocks just for the fun of it.
The thing is, we don't want peace.
We want domination.
We will bury you.
And then we'll take care of the Russians.
I also want to say to the American people, I bring with me today a sizable donation to the Cynthia McKinney Legal Defense Fund.
Just as we contributed to President Clinton's defense fund, the People's Republic of China supports the oppressed peoples of all countries.
Now I have to go inside this White House.
I have to go into what's called the Oval Office, sit down and listen to this cowboy preach to me about how wrong we in China are about things.
You'll see some pictures of it, and when you do, notice that I am smiling.
But that's on the outside.
Because on the inside, we are plotting to perish.
One other thing.
They're going to announce during my trip a huge, huge financial and business arrangement with your Walmart.
We love Walmart.
In China.
They build big factories, big warehouses.
someday own Walmart.
And we will bury you.
We will bury you.
And we are back, cutting edge of societal evolution.
Rush Limbaugh here at the Limbo Institute.
For advanced conservative studies, there are no degrees, there are no graduates because the learning never stops.
Randy in Prior Lake Minnesota, I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome.
Thank you, and terribility to you, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I uh I've got a request because I know you're a generous man, and I have to apologize.
I only heard half of the translations from President Who because I was laughing so hard over the other remarks.
Yeah, that is a problem, but you know the show goes on.
Well, I was hoping that what you would do is uh you would link that on the free side of your website and either make it a video or I'm sorry, an audio download, or uh maybe text.
And I would even link to it at my blog.
Uh we can link it to you we can't uh you're I'm having trouble hearing you.
You want to link this on the you want me to link this on the free side of my website, make it either video or audio download, maybe maybe text.
All right, let me think about that.
All right, because I said let me think about that because uh uh many of the subscribers of the website are writing saying they're bored by it.
Um they're doing it again, Mr. Snergly.
At any rate, let me let me think about that.
I'll have it I'll I have an answer for you before the uh before the end of the program.
All right, thanks, Russ.
I appreciate it.
Uh, you bet.
Sabrina in Marietta, Georgia, you're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, uh Raj.
It's my honor to be able to talk to you.
This is the very first time I was ever be able to get through.
So um, I am like one of your colleagues that I am an average person, And I appreciate your knowledge and insight.
And I agree with you on most of the issues.
But today I'm I'm a little bit um uh in a disagreement with you about President uh Wu.
Um I am a uh Chinese immigrant.
I came to the United States in the night late nineteen sixties.
Um I think Chin China, because we have um five thousand years of civilization and culture, and China is a very proud nation.
And unlike the Western country is ruled by law.
Most uh the China is ruled l mostly by Guanxi, you know, relationship.
So in order for China to change from that kind of um operation into a law abiding kind of culture, it takes time.
And I think any kind of communication for a question here because it uh I don't want to get the wrong impression.
I don't want the audience to get the wrong impression, because when you say that that uh we are a Western country governed by the rule of law and the and China's not, uh those of us who have seen things take place in China, it seems like there are a lot of laws.
China and that they are oppressive and that the people have to obey them or they're in trouble.
But China has a lot of law, and but a lot of things are being done through relationship.
That's why it's very difficult to deal with China.
You know, you say the law is this way, a lot of times it doesn't get done strictly by law.
So you have to know how Chinese operate so you can guide it, you know, influence it to change to the way.
We we don't we don't prosper here simply because of and only because of our laws either.
We have tremendous amount of freedom here, which allows uh every citizen to reach his maximum potential according to his desires and ambition.
Where are you going with this though?
Because I we have relationships here too.
I know you're trying to explain the Chinese culture to me, but what do you disagree with what I said earlier or anything I said about?
I think President Wu is doing a wonderful job by come President Bush is inviting him to come here and it's a wonderful thing to expose him to the way uh American people act and work.
And a lot of the Chinese people have come to United States to study, and they are a very important force to take what they have seen and done and here in the United States back to China to change China.
So, and because China is a very proud nation, if you force it, and this is the way you have to do, China is not going to deal with you.
And you will push China back.
Pardon me, I must interrupt, because I'm not hearing you say things that differ greatly from what I have said about our economic and cultural relationship with China.
So what is it you're disagreeing with me about?
Oh, when when President uh Wu was doing his speech and you have made all those remarks, and it it is not it's not true, and President Wu is uh opinion is great.
It's only through us to working together that we can bring about change.
And I think by consensus.
Huh?
Consensus.
We must all get along.
You have to bring the Western culture into China and it's only by this you can work together.
We're trying to do that, but why did you emigrate?
Why did you emigrate?
I came to go to school.
I went I graduate I was born in China and I went to I was raised in Taiwan because communists came, we the family moved to Taiwan when I graduated from college and I went to graduate school.
Well now, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Who addressed this today?
Who I thought was pretty threatening on Taiwan in this speech.
You were raised in Taiwan.
You know f you know full well that they intend to take that back and it and that they're willing to risk.
It sounds to me like they're willing to risk a confrontation with us in order to do it.
Well, that's where you were wrong because Taiwan is one province of China.
China Taiwan is part of China.
You can't just support one, you know, Taiwan and make Taiwan independent.
It is part of China.
Well, but I know, but but the Taiwanese are not communists, they're not run by communists and the and the and the and the the communist Chinese are threatened by this and that's why they want to go back and and and reclaim it.
They want to get rid of the capitalism and the freedom that exists there.
So it is to I know we have to say diplomatically, I've heard Candy say it.
We have to say It one China policy, but we have a treaty that we have pledged to Taiwan.
If they are attacked by China, we'll defend them.
And who knows this?
And that's what he's threatening today, or mentioning in a in a mildly threatening way.
Well, I don't think he's threatening.
He said he did stress that Taiwan is part of China.
Well, that's the same thing.
I mean, you gotta learn as I have to understand Diplo speak.
When he says it's part of China, he's he's wagging his finger at us and saying, don't get any ideas.
Uh Sabrina, it's really been a th a thrill and a delight to talk to you, and I'm glad you called.
Uh we will move on here shortly after this profit center timeout.
All right, couple uh couple little human interest uh stories here, ladies and gentlemen.
You see this story out of uh Florida, uh out in Broward County, uh Philip Winnikoff, name ringabell.
Have you seen this story?
Seventy-six years old.
He was arrested uh yesterday morning, charged with sexual battery after he uh yeah, if he posed as a doctor, went door to door with a doctor's bag, a black doctor's bag in his hand, offering women free breast exams.
Uh according to a Broward County Sheriff's Office report, two women ages 33 and 36 fell for the scam.
What do you think their hair color was?
Uh which Winnikoff allegedly ran in Lauderdale Lakes.
Uh he was charged with several felonies booked into the sheriff's lockup, where um uh he had his picture taken.
Police are now investigating whether other women may have been tricked into impromptu examinations.
He's just it's just a little old guy out there trying to I sure when Bill Clinton reads this story, he goes, Oh, why didn't I think of that?
They love me showing up knocking on the door playing doctor.
And there's this from Live Science.
Um another one of these men and women are different uh stories.
Uh men and women are actually from the same planet, but scientists now have the first strong evidence that the emotional wiring of the sexes is fundamentally different.
An almond-shaped cluster of neurons that processes experience such as fear and aggression hooks up to contrasting brain functions in men and women at rest.
For men, the cluster talks with brain regions that help them respond to censors for what's going on outside their body, such as the visual cortex and an area that coordinates motor actions.
For women, the cluster communicates with brain regions that help them respond to sensors inside the body, such as the insular cortex and the hypothalamus.
Now, these areas tune in to and regulate women's hormones and their heart rate and their let me can I summarize this for you.
This is real simple.
Men have emotional responses related to the outside world, whereas women respond emotionally to whatever's going on inside their heads, and nobody knows that.
And well, that has to be what it is.
I do.
I respond to external stimulus.
I respond to what's going on outside my head.
But but uh women respond emotionally to whatever's going on inside their heads.
You know, uh desires, fantasies, what have you.
Uh so I'm happy to translate.
Once you scientists start talking here, you need somebody who can explain this to uh, you know, the the average uh layperson, Walmart stores.
Uh they say they're not gonna bow to opponents who say the world's largest retailer is too big, and they're gonna keep growing as long as customers keep coming to their stores.
This according to their CEO Lee Scott yesterday.
Uh he said the retailer is in the midst of a transformation as it tries to reach customers who shop at stores for food but look elsewhere for fashionable clothing or housework.
Did you see what Walmart either is planning to do this or did do it already?
Not sure which.
They're actually gonna have a seminar for journalists in the drive-by media.
It's done.
I must okay, we it's oh it's oh, it's going on now.
Okay, it's started.
I yes right, I think it started on Tuesday.
They're actually conducting a seminar for drive-by journalists to try to teach them how they do business.
To show them, to illustrate for them the Walmart way.
Now for crying out, wow, what is that say about the modern drive-by media?
These are supposed these are the Pulitzer Prize winners.
These are the people that go out there and win Pulitzer Prizes for exposing Secrets.
They go out and get Pulitzer prizes for things that they should be in jail for.
They can do investigative work sorry.
They sit around and wait for the phone to ring and some leaker to call them.
But I mean you would think these are journalists.
These are people who's supposed to dig in deep and find out what's going on that nobody else knows.
But apparently they're just going on presumption and assumption based on their template.
Walmart's bad.
Democrats don't like it, so it must be bad.
They have uh horrible uh union uh uh non union labor and so forth, and so Walmart's got to bring them in and explain to them how they do business.
How hard can it be?
Tim in St. Louis, your next search great to have you with us.
Make a legal immigrant ditto from St. Louis.
Thank you.
Russia, the the earlier caller was saying, you know, who seemed a bit perplexed about what caused the change in South Africa, uh, you know, was it sanctions or was it something else?
It's pretty simple.
If you follow the step-by-step process, when Jimmy Carter left office, the South Africa was seen as an intractable conflict that would only be resolved with a race war.
Reagan comes in, escalates the conflicts with the Soviets, as a result puts enormous pressure on them that causes the system to collapse.
That in turn withdraws support from the Cubans and the East Germans who we were fighting in Angola, they are forced to withdraw as Chester Crocker goes in, conducts constructive engagement, much to the you know, which the Liberals absolutely hated.
They said it would never work, it was lending support to South Africa.
Within a few years, Namibia had its independence and some sort of a democratic process, and a few short years after that, South Africa had moved to a democratic system.
And of course, naturally at the time the big media never questioned that South Africa should have a parliamentary style democracy uh similar to the what they have in Europe or the United States.
So uh uh I it's not your fault my hearing uh d was unable to keep up with all of what you said.
But summarize this for me.
Are are you are you suggesting that Reagan did good or bad with his policies?
No, it was absolutely good, Rush.
You know, contrary to what people believed, by removing the threat that So you're you're and you're endorsing the whole concept of constructing and g constructive engagement.
Absolutely, because you removed the threat to the white minority that South Africa would become a Soviet satellite and the next Cambodia.
Well, yeah, that's that you know, that is an unstated aspect.
I'm glad that you made that point.
Because it's it's absolutely in fact in fact, you know, I'm I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this.
And back in the uh in the eighties and the early nineties when you when you talked about this, this I mean this the the people just got mad at you, but the whole uh Mandela and uh uh uh Mbeki uh movement was was was it it was it was it was communist.
It's still uh a very Marxist-oriented organization.
It was it was kinda yeah, we'll call them Marxists.
It was very Marxist.
Winnie Mandela running around necklacing people that didn't go along with what she wanted them to do.
Um I mean, this it was there's then there's no question, you're absolutely right about that.
Yep.
And you know, uh that's the thing that people overlook.
Sanctions actually had the reverse effect.
If you look at what actually happened, the more sanctions were imposed and the more stringent they became, the more South Africa withdrew into itself and started to manufacture its own arms, became far more belligerent towards its neighbors, and it was only when there was a uh the prospect of being able to remove itself from being threatened by the uh the Soviet satellite system,
as it were, that South Africa's whites felt comfortable enough that they could uh look at an open democracy.
Excellent points.
You know, you would uh the uh forgotten some of that, and you're absolutely right about the Marxist orientation of uh of of the of the Mandela regime and and uh that that whole crowd.
You mentioned something else, that something else that sanctions did.
Uh all this disinvestment uh made the country poorer.
And whenever a country gets poorer, it empowers the people running it.
Uh uh if they have, as you mentioned, the arms to control a population that's dissatisfied, and and uh it was it was uh it was it was a mess.
It's a typical way the way liberals try to handle things, and and it's it it never works out.
But your your your best point about the constructive engagement was it kept us there and kept the Soviets out.
They were attempting client state there with the anti apartheid movement.
Uh or the the uh uh yeah, the anti-apartheid movement, and and they did co-opt them and to this day, and one of the reasons they're in a mess uh is precisely because they have Marxist orientation and roots.
Bruce in Fort Wayne Indiana, I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Hello, Rush.
Uh personal hood ditto to you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Um I I wanted to uh discuss the uh Senator Kennedy comments uh about Lincoln being similar to being dissimilar from Bush because he united uh the public says, well, Bush was a divider.
I find that jingle.
Hang on just a sec.
Hang hang on just I want to go back and get the bite.
Uh let's go back and grab sound bite eight so people know what you're talking about, okay?
Okay, sir.
Want to replay this.
Ted Kennedy is on the Today Show today.
Katie Courick said Carl Rove will not be focused uh so much on domestic policy.
In fact, it'll be focused more on the midterm elections, which Murray Madeline talked about earlier in the program.
How concerned uh should Republicans be in your view about these upcoming elections?
The principal concern that you'd have that I have with the Carl Rove is that he has really been the architect to the politics of fear.
We had a terrible uh tragedy in 9-11 uh here in this country, but that has been the dominant uh policy of the uh Republican uh uh uh leadership in the Congress and outside is the politics of fear.
And if you look back historically, where uh other presidents faced a challenge as President Kennedy of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Frank of Roosevelt in World War II, Abraham Lincoln, they brought the country together to the challenges, and this has been an administration that's practiced the politics of fear and separation and division, and that has been destructive in American politics.
All right, now what is he want to say about Lincoln?
Well, I wanted to say was that uh it shows how jingleistic and how based on style his comments are in terms of being on a board.
I mean, Lincoln was as popular then as Bush was today.
I mean his comments sound more equivalent to what the segregationists and the uh Dixiecrat uh Confederate mice that would have been in the eighteen sixties, and it just shows again how Kennedy is trying to make inferences about historical based.
That's exactly right.
Okay, another great point.
Uh that's exactly Lincoln was uh in worse shape you're right than Bush is today.
Uh almost didn't get elected for his second term and and uh ended up saving the nation and uniting it.
Uh and and Ted Kennedy wanting to somehow appropriate uh about uh uh Lincoln can say that uh he is not an example of the things that Bush has done uh through fear.
I mean, Ted Kennedy, if Ted Kennedy were if Abe Lincoln were the president today, as he was in the Civil War, Ted Kennedy would be in jail.
Ted Kennedy and his ilk would be called agitators and they'd be taken away and out of the way so they couldn't upset the stated goals and purpose of the government.
I mean, Lincoln back it invoked all kinds of they think the Patriot Act is bad.
I'll never forget the funny story.
Abraham Lincoln, there was some former congressman from Ohio, went back to Ohio's running for governor, is a Democrat.
And he was running for governor on the basis that we had no business fighting the war, the civil war, and the South was right, and Lincoln was horrible, and and Lincoln sent the militia, sent the equivalent then of the National Guard, and had this guy taken out of his house and and said, if you're gonna end up speaking for the enemy, I'm sending you down to Jefferson Davis.
And he shipped him down to Jefferson Davis.
Now can you imagine?
Wouldn't you love to send a bunch of Democrats over to Iraq?
Hey, if you want to speak up for Saddam Hussein, go over there and see him in court.
We got a C5A leaving tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Senators, and you're gonna be on it.
That's the equivalent of what Lincoln did.
The difference is that Jefferson Davis didn't want this guy from Ohio.
They sent him to Canada.
Now you imagine trying something like that today.
Uh Ted Kennedy would be one of Abraham Lincoln's first victims, and there's no way Kennedy would be citing his praises.
Okay, folks, I have uh made an executive decision.
When it comes to the uh the free side of the website, it would be very normal.
It in fact it will be normal that the transcript and the streaming audio of the translation of President Who's speech would be on the free side.
The transcript and the streaming audio, not downloadable.
But I have made an executive decision because of the popular demand for this bit.
We are going to make it available as a free MP3 download today as an added bonus uh for those of you uh who are not subscribers so that you can uh have access to it and spread it around to all your friends and let as many people who will want to hear it hear it as possible.
Sue in Boone, North Carolina.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
Hey.
Love your show.
Thank you.
I think it would be great if you took Scott McClellan's job.
Well wouldn't that be interesting?
It would be for one day.
I'd love to do it for one day.
I don't, I don't I wouldn't take the pay cut.
Well, Northern Hassan.
I'd like to hear I'd get fired after one day because I'd start announcing my own policies.
But it would be so refreshing for someone to speak the truth back to these people and show them how foolish and biased and wrong they are.
I know it's a fantasy.
I fantasize about it, but believe me, it would never happen.
I would never even be asked to do it for that very reason.
Well, uh, one other thing.
You talk a lot about the difference in the media now and Mike during the Civil War and during World War II.
Hello?
Yes.
Well, there's a book called 1942 that deals about the year 1942 when America almost lost the war.
And it talks specifically about those things, the differences and how the press reacted, the uh the regulations that were put on mail and communication that was done by an uh democratic president.
But it really is an education.
Oh, I know.
I I we've we've talked about this.
Mail was opened.
Uh I mean, any you we talked about this in the context of the so-called domestic spying program of Bush.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm glad you reminded me of it.
We have uh we've gone through all that before, and it's it's uh uh well the differences are obvious.
I mean, every generation is different, and every circumstance is different.
You deal with the things that exist as they are.
Um, those are interesting things to point out, just as the Lincoln things uh are interesting to point out.
Definitely give people uh some perspective.
I'm I'm glad you called Sue.
Thanks very much.
Uh do you see the story out of Cincinnati?
Federal immigration agents and local cops raided an Evondale business on Wednesday, arrested more than 30 people.
The raid happened at IFCO Systems on Evondale Drive in Avondale.
Police say they were looking for illegal immigrants.
Spokesman for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, released this statement.
Today's arrest and detentions are part of an ongoing immigration and customs enforcement work site enforcement investigation.
And because of the enforcement actions are ongoing, we are unable to provide further details at this time.
And then I found headlines about other action being taken by ICE.
And this is incredible.
Let me just read these headlines to you.
Pallate maker targeted in immigration raids.
