Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I'll tell you what, folks, uh, it's it's unbelievable.
United States Senate is uh out of control.
It's it's uh it's a laughing stock.
It's uh it's a comedy act.
It's uh have you look rank amateur comedy act.
I can't believe what's passing for debate.
You won't believe the audio sound bites that we have today.
I mean, they vote for English as the official language, and then minutes later they say, oh no, no, we can't we're not well, we're gonna do it, but we're not really gonna do it.
Then they vote to reward identity theft, identity theft and fraud by illegal immigrants by awarding time towards social security benefits.
It's Friday, but it's Looney Tunes Day, too, is what's crazy.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
My gosh, folks, have any idea that the United States Senate, one of the most revered governmental chambers in the history of uh civilization, yeah, uh uh uh August body.
I'll tell you, we we need to start talking about deportation of some of these idiots.
There's some just genuine mental midgets that are masquerading in the United States Senate as the best and brightest.
Great to have you with us, uh folks.
Welcome to the award-winning EIB network.
I am America's anchor man, L. Rushball, and this is Open Line Friday.
Now, what that means is that uh uh when we go to the phones on Friday, it's your show.
Uh we I mean we screen the calls because we got to make sure people can speak.
We have to make sure that they have passion about what they want to talk about, because I'm gonna put people on the air that bore people to death.
But other than that, we don't screen as uh stringently as we do on uh Monday through Thursday.
Monday through Thursday, you gotta be talking about what interests me or you or you don't have a prayer.
Uh but on Friday your prayers are answered when you if you all you want to talk about is what interests you.
So 800-282-2882 is the number to call if you'd like to be on open line Friday.
And I I peruse the email at times too, so if you want to send an email and go that route, rush at EIB net.com.
Some light oh, folks, guys, they'll tell you, last night we had an editor's meeting of the uh of the limbaugh letter.
The staff uh brought them in and we had we had just a good two-hour meeting and a and a great dinner party last night.
And uh Brian and Dawn invited themselves, asked if they could join dinner.
So uh no, I I invited them.
And uh and and but I I have to tell you I served Alan Brothers steaks again.
And I asked Brian today.
I mean, the the the festivities were so convivial uh last night that uh many people forgot to thank me or compliment me on the um they were just so so much having a good time.
So I wanna had a vegetarian plate for Snerdley.
Was it okay?
Was that a So no, they they were nice, I'm just I'm just razzing them here because they razz me in ways you don't even know.
But I walked in, I asked Brian today, I said, by the way, did you like the filet last night?
He said, Yeah.
You know, it was even better than blank blank restaurant that I went to earlier this week.
I had a steak at blank blank uh on Tuesday night, and it this one this one blew it away.
And I was um uh well, I wasn't surprised, but I was I was happy to hear it.
You always love, you know, when you when you have things that you love, folks, things that you really enjoy, you like sharing them.
You hope others enjoy them as much as you do.
And so I served them Alan Brothers uh file mini, seven ounces.
Not over, you know, not a huge well, there was shrimp scampi along with it and a vegetable medley, but it was it was well received, and it's uh, you know, Allen Brothers an official sponsor now, the EIB network, and they've got their website AB Stakes.
They became famous on this program for their hot dogs, which I will be serving tomorrow night.
Um to another group of people coming over for a super secret reason.
I can't tell you what I'm doing.
That doesn't matter, it's no big deal, but hot dogs will be on the because it's little finger food type things tomorrow night.
But yeah, website for Allen Brothers is ABstakes.com.
Oh, some lighthearted news before we start uh tearing the Senate apart, which they richly deserve.
Uh little animal news here.
Always love animal news on Friday, and it's nothing to do with alligators.
Any word on the runaway gator?
Oh, they got the gator, they got the killer gator that was uh heading west.
Ah, good.
They got they got the gator.
Yeah, I got an invitation today.
I got an invitation to play in a celebrity golf tournament at Hilton Head on uh Labor Day weekend.
And they have a brochure.
And a brochure is pictures of last year's tournament, celebrities and other guests and so forth and surroundings of the three golf courses in Hilton Head where we're gonna be playing.
There's a picture of an alligator.
On the golf course.
They put a picture of a full-length picture of an alligator on the golf course near a body of water, as though it's an attraction.
You might you gotta you want to come to our golf tournament because look, we even have alligators on the golf course.
I just look the timing of the here we're trying to try to scare people to death over alligators, and I get invited to play the charity golf tournament featuring alligators.
Wonder what the message there is.
Animal news.
Apes that remember to carry the right tools to retrieve treats and scrub J's that hide food a second time when they think a rival is watching prove that animals can think ahead.
A trait once believed to be uniquely human.
Here we go.
I didn't know this.
I keep learning about evolution.
The story, there was a story on this thing yesterday, too.
I didn't get to it.
Said that our closest ancestors are the chimpanzees.
That we if they we evolve from the chimpanzees.
I believe that because I know a couple people look like them.
Terry Bradshaw looks like a chimpanzee, a guy I used to work with uh out in Sacramento, Eric St. John always thought he looked like a chimpanzee.
I told them both this.
Um I just think it maybe they're both bald, but I thought we came from baboons or or the great apes.
Uh I mean, as far as the evolution f don't don't get worried for, I think all this is gobbledygook.
I just I'm just stunned uh to learn that, you know.
My question, if we came from chimpanzees, why are there still chimpanzees?
And if we came from the great apes, you know, where did they lose out?
What what caused us to win out and these chimps are still chimps?
I mean, would you rather be human or a chimp?
Some just didn't make it, is that it?
Well, uh you look at little chimpanzees and you say you're always gonna be a chimp, but look at me.
You somehow didn't make the evolutionary leap that I did.
What a and then this thing, animals, apes think ahead.
They can plan ahead.
Fine, they have a social security program.
Until they have a social security program, I'm not gonna be impressed.
From Waldron, Arkansas.
Seventy-two-year-old mayor arrested this week on charges he sought sex from two women in exchange for preventing their water from being turned off.
Now that sounds vaguely obscene.
Sex for water.
Oil for food, sex for what by the way.
Speaking of oil for food, folks, guess who's back to the news?
The torch.
The Senate is looking into news that the torch was involved in the oil for food scandal.
One of the women in Arkansas told investigators she'd been having sex with Troy Anderson for money for eight to ten years.
She said Anderson paid her $25 per encounter and $60 for a late water deposit.
He also allowed her to change the name on her overdue water bill to keep the service running.
Anderson released on bond on Wednesday, didn't return repeated calls seeking comment.
And police officers who forced a drug suspect to drink a laxative in hopes of recovering a swallowed bag of heroin were within their rights.
The Wisconsin state Supreme Court ruled yesterday, reversing an appeals court decision.
The high court said that police had a clear expectation that the laxative would help reveal evidence of a crime.
The average person walking the streets in Milwaukee, they say, gee, cops shouldn't be able to do that.
Well, now the Supreme Court says go right ahead.
So Wisconsin court, okay's forcing laxatives on suspects.
This is not new either.
The same thing can be created or caused to happen by watching the United States Senate.
Hi, we're back.
It's open line Friday.
El Rush Ball and broadcast excellence.
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first and second hand premium cigar smoke.
We monkeyed around with the uh ditto cam a little bit, as we were still getting complaints from our valued uh subscriber base as a picture just wasn't even though we thought we had a fixed yesterday, a picture just wasn't quite up to snuff as to what it has been in the past.
So um we monkeyed around with a couple of these pots here, and it looks pretty normal to me the way it did now.
So I uh I I want to welcome all of you watching on the Ditto Cam and uh.
Would you shut up, Snerdley?
It does not look blurry, and you're just trying to stir things up here.
Speaking of which, one of the things that came up in a newsletter meeting that we had yesterday afternoon.
Uh, staff wanted to know what what what what do you get most of your feedback on email was regarding a newsletter?
And I said, frankly, I get a lot of email about people whose copies of the limbaugh letter arrive defaced with threatening notes written on the cover.
And they looked at me and they shocked.
I said, Yes, I'm at significant.
It runs in in spurts, but I'll get email from people, and they laugh about it.
You know, a picture of me will be torn or slit.
Uh the cover will be mangled as though somebody's grabbed just the cover page and crinkled it up and then put it back in the mail.
And we're wondering where would this be happening?
And it we'd think it would have to be happening at the mailing process of the postal service.
Um threatening notes, insulting notes uh written by somebody to the subscriber.
I guess these types of issues become uh badges of honor.
Sometimes, though the issues don't make it too.
Other uh the people steal them.
Uh so that I mean there's they're pro and con in this.
So we were toying out with I touring around ideas how to deal with this.
And we one of the things we're gonna do in the upcoming issue is deface the cover ourselves.
Um and write threatening notes on it to me already, so that people in the post office don't have to do that.
Uh and and can uh deliver the newsletters uh on time.
Because it's got to take some time to pull them out of the loop and deface them, and you know they're not just defacing one or two.
So um anyway, got great future plans for that as well.
Drive by media continues to just take a hit, a furor over the trade-off between civil liberties and security, and the fight against terrorism is raging in the U.S. Congress in think tanks in the media.
But the heated debate leaves much of America cold.
A CNN poll released on Thursday showed that 54% of Americans support gathering phone records to find terrorists.
A few days earlier, a Washington Post ABC News poll showed that 51% approve of the way Bush was protecting their privacy.
According to a USA Today Gallup survey last week, 53% of Americans think the government has restricted civil liberties appropriately or not far enough.
This is despite in the midst of these polls, USA Today kept polling and polling and polling, calling people on Friday, and you know who's home on Friday, losers.
And they call them until they got the result they wanted.
They were able to put out 51% American people don't like the program.
But it's bogus.
Uh Democrats, again, in the indicating they're out of touch with the American people on national security.
Immigrate.
It doesn't matter what it is.
I've never seen such a disconnect.
Uh between the and I really, in 18 years, I have never seen such an active, purposeful disconnect.
People in Washington are trying to not get the point.
They are try it's almost as though they are purposely alienating the American population, the American citizens.
It's mind-boggling to me.
Uh, here's this story.
This I just infuriates me.
I can't tell you how this infuriates me.
The House of Representatives rejected an attempt late yesterday to end a 25-year-old ban on oil and natural gas drilling in eighty-five percent of the country's coastal waters, despite arguments that the new supplies are needed to lower energy costs.
Lawmakers from Florida and California and its both parties led the fight to maintain the long-standing drilling moratorium, contending that energy development as close as three miles from shore would jeopardize multi-billion dollar tourism industry.
Hell, it would not.
I'd take a tour out to sea and oil, Derek.
I'd charter a helicopter to fly over one.
I'd go out there to see how these things operate.
This is a s this is go ahead and let China add join with Cuba and drill for oil 75 miles away from Key West and let the Mexicans go ahead and drill wherever they want to in the Gulf of Mexico.
But no, no, not us.
And I tell you, this where where we lose this one is those moderates in the House of Representatives who just love flexing their muscles and wielding this kind of power.
This folks, this is patently absurd.
I don't I these people, I'm gonna get a I'm gonna get a record of who voted on this, and the next time any of those people start belly aching about gasoline prices and trying to demagogue that and blame big oil, I am gonna start firing, and it is not gonna be blanks.
This is just none of this is making any sense.
So all of you elected officials, you holier than now, smarter than the rest of us, elected officials.
When you start belly aching about gas prices again, and you start dragging big oil execs up, and you start in your gouging investigations, which have never proved a thing, no gouging investigation, state or federal has ever turned up any evidence of one.
You want to talk about windfall profits taxes, you want us to I am gonna call you out by name and say you are the reason gas prices are high.
You're the reason, along with other people as much as anything else is in addition to the market, because you are actively standing in the way of this country seeking to make itself less dependent on foreign sources because of this silly capitulation that you are compelled, it seems to make, to a bunch of mad cap anti-capitalist, destructive environmentalist wackos.
Hey, but you remember the XMLDs?
XMVDs, Prince William said, Yeah.
Give me another example.
Have you been up there lately?
Pretty cool.
That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen after the Exxon Valdez oil spill to see people up there with bottles of dawn dishwashing detergent and paper towels wiping off rocks.
And then, of course, we had the otters.
Oh, those cute little otters.
Remember the first release of the otter?
This is cool.
Got the otters out of there, cleaned them up.
Insurance companies put this story out because it's, you know, they didn't 75 grand per otter to clean them up, de-oil them and all that.
So they're gonna release the first cleaned up otter back into Prince William Sound.
They roll it out there in a cage, let everybody out of school for the day.
High school, junior high bands are ramping up.
Uh, and they they feeling so good about themselves, and they open the door to the cage, otter, zooms out, goes back to its natural habitat for the crowd, turns over on its back, a little paws up, the crowd goes, uh, and at that moment, a killer whale surfaces and one bite, the otter's gone.
75 grand down a whale gullet.
Felt like shouting, what about animal rights?
Anyway, it's all cleaned up up there.
This notion that oil is gonna spill and we're gonna destroy the coastline and uh people aren't gonna the view is gonna be.
It's absurd.
It's just absurd when you look at the geopolitical pressures that we face, economic pressures and all that.
All right, I've been trying to delay it as much as I can, but I can't know, folks, because there's still time left in this break.
By the way, big election coming up in uh New Orleans tomorrow.
We'll find out.
We will find out.
Uh I'll get a good idea on on the uh SAT scores of the population there tomorrow by virtue of this election.
Mitch Landrew versus uh Ray Schoolbus Nagan.
And uh, you know, Negan said this is a chocolate city.
So he did, didn't he say that?
Naglin said it uh we need you do a keyword search of you if he said something about New Orleans and chocolate in relation.
It's gonna stay chocolate.
Yeah, he said it's gonna stay chocolate.
We'll find out tomorrow if it's gonna stay chocolate, because uh uh Mitch Landrew's white chocolate.
And Ray Negan's chocolate chocolate.
Okay.
The Senate uh voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect social security benefits based on past illegal employment, even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen doctrines.
In other words, the United States Senate.
Now this will never survive conference with the House, but I don't care.
The United States Senate.
If this isn't amnesty, I don't know what the hell it is.
We are going to throw out anybody.
We're just going to throw out identity theft.
We've just basically gonna sanction identity if they go steal somebody's identity and their social security number and go get a job.
And then earn and pay social security benefits, and we find out you did that.
No problem.
You're still gonna get your Social Security benefits after you've paid your Social Security taxes.
And you know who led the charge on this?
Uh Senator McCain.
There's more on this.
Uh be back in a minute.
A man, a legend, a way of life, Rush Limbaugh on open line Friday.
Listen to this email I just got.
We'll get back to the Senate, but I have to do the Senate uh stuff in doses.
Folks, is it just I can't, I'm afraid I will lose my composure going through this stuff.
So I gotta I do maybe a paragraph or two at a time.
May take me to the rest of this hour to get all the rest of the Senate news done, because I'm gonna have to.
I can't do it all at once, or I will literally explode.
Hey, Rush, I I just heard you uh talking about how many of your newsletters are defaced, and I didn't know if I had written you regarding the first limball letter that we received.
It didn't come as soon as we expected, and we finally received it.
We were excited to open it up.
It was in brown wrapping.
Upon opening up the package, we found some pretty obscene advertisement.
Disappointed.
I thought maybe it was in there because the subscribers were mainly male.
I pulled out everything in the package, but there was no limball letter.
There was, however, pornographic material.
I checked the package.
There was definitely a limball letter mailing sticker on it, but we realized it had been neatly placed over the real label.
We did contact the postal office.
They said they couldn't really do much because they couldn't prove who would have done something like that.
So, I mean, that's what happens.
Then the limball letter it st it strikes fear uh in the hearts of liberals.
They just are afraid anybody might actually get a copy and read it so they deface it.
They can't resist it.
Just like little children over this.
I mean, does Time magazine arrive defaced?
Does Newsweek arrive defaced?
I'm I've never heard any well, yeah, they don't arrive anymore, so people don't get them.
Yeah, but uh I've never heard that.
Dear Rush, this is Chris Knox in Northern California.
I guess you've never gone to some of the Southern California beaches.
Spread out your blanket, and then when it's time to leave, you pick up your towel only to find out you've been laying on tarballs all afternoon.
Ruin your Disneyland towel, too.
But this never happened to you.
Uh Chris, I've been to Southern California beaches, and I wouldn't lay down on one of those things if my life depended on it.
I walked around on one once, and I couldn't believe I was doing it.
Was it crowded?
It was not a fun experience at all.
And whether it's an oil derrick out there or not, well, it wouldn't have mattered a hill of beans.
I saw I saw tarballs all over the beach anyway.
I mean, how did you not see them when you let your towel down?
The fact that they're all over the place, you still put your towel down and only then realize it makes me question your eyesight.
Everybody, everybody wants to get any act.
All right.
Uh, here we go back to the Senate.
Legalizing identity theft.
Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect social security benefits based on past illegal employment, even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents, identity theft.
There was a felony they were committing, and now they can't be prosecuted.
Sounds like amnesty to me, said John Ensign, Nevada Republican, former House member, freshman class, 1994.
I'm an honorary member, saw Ensign at a golf tournament recently.
Great, great guy.
He offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions from the immigration reform bill.
Say it just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment, he said.
The ensign amendment was defeated on a 50 to 49 vote.
John McCain carried the water on this one.
We all know.
We all know that millions of undocumented immigrants pay social security and Medicare taxes for years.
Sometimes decades.
How do they work to contribute to our economy?
It's it's this this instant amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming social security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work.
I I I can't.
And then he said if this amendment were enacted, the nest egg that these immigrants have worked hard for would be taken away from them and their families.
And I know, I just know there are some of you people out there who are obsessed and overridden with guilt.
And you're gonna call, and you're gonna say, but rush, but rush, they paid into the social security system.
They should get benefits.
That's not why they got the card.
It's not why they went out and got the card.
They got the card to commit fraud.
They went out and got an illegal social security number, they stole somebody else's, they did this to violate one law after another, from employment to banking to insurance.
But they've built up Nesteg.
Doing work Americans won't you!
I'm just guys, they all know how you feel about this.
I mean, this isn't just flipping you the bird, they are mooning us.
And then almost as mind-boggling.
The Senate voted yesterday to make English the national language of the U.S., declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in a language other than English, except for those already guaranteed by law.
The measure approved by a vote of 63 to 34 directs the government to preserve and enhance the role of English.
Who is the Senate, if not the government?
Who are they directing?
Who are they telling to do this?
But that's not the without altering current laws that require some government documents and services to be provided another language.
So they they vote to make English the what national language, and then they say, screw it, it doesn't mean anything.
Yeah, if it's gonna be the national language, it's gonna make the fly the national bird, but we're still gonna have the eagle on the dollar bills.
Or everywhere else.
Uh opponents, however, said it could negate uh executive orders, regulations, civil service guidances, and other multilingual ordinances not officially sanctioned by acts of Congress.
Only nine Senate Democrats voted for the amendment.
One Republican, Pete Domenici of New Mexico voted against it.
The impact of the new Senate language amendment was unclear even after its passage.
McCain again, in my view, my view, we had it watered down enough to make it acceptable.
Exactly right.
Watered it down to the point of meaninglessness.
And when it when you got it watered down to where it has no meaning, then McCain says it's acceptable.
Would you like to hear some floor debate on this?
Would you like to hear what's passing for the learned persuasive debate?
Let's go to Senator Turban.
He was on Good Morning America today.
Charlie Gibson said yesterday the Senate accepted 370 miles of fence.
Uh, accepted an amendment that would make English a national language.
Are you accepting a number of what we might call conservative amendments on this issue?
What if Krauthammer asked the question today?
Since when did actually I know, since when did uh uh caring about illegal immigration become conservative?
I guess it's something to do with law and order.
Are you accepting, uh, Senator Turban uh a number of what we might call conservative amendments on this uh uh issue in order to protect what you think is the core of the bill, the guest worker program and a path toward legalization for people who've been here for a considerable amount of time.
Yes.
English is our American language.
If you're going to be part of our country, you have to learn English to be a citizen.
And that's uh requirement that should be maintained.
What we want to make sure is that in areas of health And safety and national security.
There's no prohibition against the government using a language other than English.
If we are, God forbid, threatened with avian flu, don't we want to make sure that everyone within our borders understands that threat so that we could stop that epidemic?
There you go, folks.
There's there's what passes for learned insight.
Brilliant insight.
Yes.
Well, of something like the avian flu, the bird flu.
Pandemic, epidemic, academic, whatever it becomes.
Don't we want everybody to hear the warnings?
And then Dingy Harry.
Dingy Harry, who people have forgotten, but Dingy Harry introduced an immigration bill back in uh well when would he introduce this bill?
1993.
He introduced an immigration bill that ought to be the immigration bill they are debating today, and it ought to be adopted.
Dingy Harry introduced one of the most sensible immigration reform bills, and he's now he he's just talking a totally different game, and his excuse is well, my my wife made me see the error of my ways two weeks after I introduced the bill, but that's a flat out lie because months after he introduced it, he brought it back.
Well, Dingy Harry has said this English as the official language of the country is racist.
This amendment is racist.
I think it's directed basically to people who speak Spanish.
What is spanish language?
How can how can how can uh excuse me, folks?
I'm getting a poll by Zagby International earlier this year found that 84% of Americans say that English should be the official language of government operations.
The same poll found that 77% of Hispanics agree.
So Dingy Harry is calling 84% in the Zagby poll racist, along with 77% of Hispanics racist.
And would you like to hear the learned insight of uh dingy Harry?
This is yesterday on the Senate floor.
I really believe this amendment is racist.
I think it's directed basically to speak people who speak Spanish.
I can remember once being so frustrated, was a guest in a hotel, and I had locked myself out of my room.
And there was a lady pushing a cart, and I told her I'd like to get back in my room.
She did not know what I was saying.
She could not converse with me in Spanish.
So as luck would have it, here comes one of my sons.
The minute he spoke to her in Spanish, her whole demeanor changed.
She became a different person.
Because through my son, we could communicate.
Okay.
So uh it was uh no you you that's not an impersonator, that's actual Harry Reed sound bites from the Senate floor yesterday.
So, I mean, in addition to this being literally stupid in terms of persuading anybody, it is ladled with what we've been talking about recently, guilt.
You see, we had a woman from a foreign country working in a hotel where Dingy Harry was staying.
She's in America.
But because he didn't speak her language, he felt so bad.
He felt so bad.
But fortunately, his son was able to speak and and and the woman's life noticeably changed right there on the spot, which he was able to communicate.
And then after after he uh after that, he's got another heartwarming tale, uh the heartwarming tale of one of his employees, Fred Rico.
Uh, here is that bite.
I have a young man that works for me, an American citizen, of course.
Fredrico.
Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.
An American citizen, of course?
What's that?
Nobody's accused him, have they, of hiring illegals?
He's defending a charge he hasn't been faced with.
Federico comes from Puerto Rico.
Mm-hmm.
He speaks Spanish.
I don't think I would embarrass Federico, even though he's well educated, longtime American citizen.
He still speaks with an accent.
Speaks very good English with a slight accent.
He was so sick.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
And he was afraid when he went to the hospital, the emergency room.
He was afraid that he couldn't communicate to his health care workers what was wrong with him.
And he asked, is there anybody here that speaks Spanish?
And there was.
One of the nurses.
And he was able to communicate.
He felt better.
This again, uh the highlights of the debate on the English uh language proposal on the floor of the Senate yesterday.
After this, an aide passed Dingy Harry a note that was on a folded sheet of paper.
We don't know if it was Frederico who passed the note or not.
After reading the note, Dingy Harry uh tried to clarify his remarks.
Uh he said, no, wait, no, no, I don't want to be confused.
Here's Senator Enhoff isn't a racist, but his bill is.
So this is this is what he said.
I have served in the Congress of the United States with Jim and Off for many years.
And we disagree on issues on occasion.
But even though I feel this amendment is unfair, I don't in any way suggest that Jim Minoff is a racist.
I don't believe that at all.
I just believe that this amendment has and with some people that connotation.
Not that he's a racist, but the amendment is.
We support the troops, but we don't support the mission.
Back after this.
Now, folks, I have a theory.
I mean, people are saying, Rush.
Uh how can how can this literal childish insanity, this this comedy act to be going on in both chambers of Congress?
It's easy.
It is very easy to explain.
There is no elected conservative leadership in this country right now.
The president is not leading a conservative movement.
He's a Republican president.
He has some conservative issues he believes in.
He's not leading a movement.
So everybody's off the reservation and acting on their own.
Uh some are trying to assume this conservative leadership position, uh, or at least are trying to convey that's what they want.
But but there is there is no elected conservative leadership.
I mean, you got a lot a lot of elected conservatives, but none of them are nationally known as they're not national leaders right now.
So bam, uh it's got sparks flying all over the country.
There's no there's no discipline, there's no allegiance to a set of uh principles that have been laid down in an agenda.
I mean, uh this this this English language thing, the law doesn't abolish Spanish.
I mean, Dinji Harry can run around talking about his buddy Federico and uh in the Spanish-speaking maid all he wants, and he can try to make us sound like it's our fault that they can't understand us and we can't understand them in our own country.
But the bottom line, this this meaningless amendment, this meaningless I guess it's an amendment, does not abolish Spanish.
It just requires the government to do business in English.
And that that that's about as far as they want to go in offering incentives for uh uh uh immigrants to learn English.
You know, rather than round them up and take them to Beverly Hills High.
Speaking of, do you know that they've got an oil well at Beverly Hills High?
Pumps like 500 barrels of oil a day while a kid's being bust out to be propagandized by Al Gore's stupid movie.
I have that story coming up.
I'll tell you, Harry Reid.
Harry Reid is a great example of what power can do to somebody.
He wants to be majority leader of the United States Senate when they take the Senate back in November.
And so he's dropped all pretense of representing his constituents because Harry Reid does not speak for the majority of Nevadans, and I think he's cruising for the same fate that uh that uh Puff Dashel discovered.
By the way, Puff Dashel interested in running for president now.
And you know what that's all about.
It's either one of three things.
Either needs a job, number two, he um wants to be referred to for the rest of his life as former presidential candidate, Puff Dashel, so we can get his speech fees up to ten grand from their current two hundred and fifty, uh or or some other uh convoluted reason.
Also, Rush, any dummy in California knows that oil naturally seeps from the ocean floor.
I'm a former dope-sming maggot-infested FM type surfer dude.
And I know this.
Any real Californian knows this as well.
Tarballs on the beach have nothing to do with oil wells, and that's absolutely true.
More oil seeps to the ocean floor and the ocean eats it up.
Uh, oil is as natural as water on this planet, folks.
It's as natural as oxygen and air.
And it's been it's it's been demonized here as though it's an invader from another planet out to destroy us.
Back in just a second.
We found out who Federico is, Federico's dingy Harry's PR guy.
So this guy can speak to senators and the media all day long, all year.
