Time Text
Ha, how are you?
Welcome back.
We're in the midst of having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have America's real anchor man behind a golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I also double as America's truth detector and America's Doctor of Democracy.
And we will get to your phone calls El Quico.
I'm uh very appreciative of those of you on hold at 800-282-2882.
Before we get on to our immigration stack today, I want to go back to this General Motors uh story.
They're gonna offer uh customers in uh California and Florida only, uh certain automobiles.
Uh if you buy these cars, they're gonna buy your gas.
They're gonna they're gonna they're gonna cap your pump price at a buck ninety-nine, they're gonna estimate how much uh mileage you use, and give you a card, and you they they they could uh save you uh anywhere from in Florida to uh seventy dollars a month to over a hundred and three dollars a month in uh California.
Just these two states.
Now, and I I'm I mentioned that uh here's the market responding to the quote unquote crisis uh that is out there.
Now, why is General Motors doing this?
What is the real reason General Motors is doing this?
Because you, the consumer, have been duped by political demagogues into believing that you are going broke, paying more for gasoline despite the fact that you pay far more in taxes at every level than you pay in gasoline.
But you're never going broke because of the taxes that are confiscated from you.
Well, no, no, no, no, no, you could go broke because of the rising cost of gasoline.
So General Motors, I mean, they see what's going on, rather than talking about selling cars at zero percent interest and no money down or rebates or five thousand dollars off per car or selling you the car at wholesale, whatever, rather than do that.
Dupe you into buying cars by buying your gasoline.
Ha ha ha!
As long as you sign up for OnStar.
Um and and you're gonna think, oh, wow, wow, because I'm going broke.
There's no end in sight to rising gas prices.
GM's gonna buy my gas over a buck ninety-nine.
I can I can lock in a pump price of a dollar ninety-nine.
Wow, and you might go out and buy a new car.
That's what they're banking on.
And and and all of this is because the way this issue has been profoundly demagogued by um our August elites up on Capitol Hill.
Now to the uh immigration stack, the New York observer today, a story by Jason Horowitz, Senator McCain worked blue on New York stage.
Behind closed doors, Republicans work in material.
I'd tell Shiites and Sunnis, stop the BS.
Fresh from Fallwell attacks right wing nativism.
For all the national attention surrounding John McCain's two highly anticipated protest-ridden commencement speeches in New York last week, the Senator actually says some of his best material for the crowd that gathered on Friday behind closed doors in the back of the Regency Hotel.
In a small mirrored paneled room, guarded by a secret service agent and packed with some of the city's wealthiest and most influential political donors, McCain got right to the point.
One of the things I'd do if I were president, sit the Shiates and the Silly's Directors, stop, there'll be yes.
This was according to uh Shirley Cloy's DialGuardie, an invitee and two other guests.
The exclusive audience included RNC Finance Chair Louis Eisenberg, Blackstone Group co-founder Pete Peterson, former Navy uh Secretary John Lehman, and Gail Hilson, the politically influential socialite who has organized events for McCain in the past.
He said, What kind of country do we want to be?
This is the table here was shaped uh uh like a horseshoe, and he walked around in the middle of the table talking to these august country clubbers and blue bloods.
He then cautioned against ghettoizing immigrants, which he noted has brought about disastrous results in France.
He criticized elements in his own party as nativist for lambasting the punditry, uh before lambasting the punditry of Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs and others for helping to fuel the problem, according to two of the sources.
All right, so now I'm a nativist.
Uh well, what did Brooks call me?
Restrictionist.
Lou Dobbs is the uh is the same thing.
He's out there hobnobbing with country club blue bloods, and I'm nativist, and so are you.
But what this all adds up to, folks, is that McCain looks out across the countryside and he sees you the way liberal critics of this program see you, budget of mine numbed robots.
Well, you're unable to think for yourself.
Why, you, you, you, you simply get up every day, turn on this radio program, and get your marching orders.
You are told what to think, and until you're told you don't think.
You're told what to do, and until you're told what to do, you don't do it.
You don't act.
Uh it it is it it's uh just just amazing when you look at who he's wooing and who he's trying to distance himself from and the wedge that he is uh trying to drive here.
Uh nativist is not of all the people I know on my side of the aisle who have an opinion about illegal immigration, nativist is the last thing we are.
I have bent over backwards on this program to not do what he charges is being done.
I have told you about my grandfather and how immigration has been an ongoing debate in this country.
It was his high school debate topic.
Back in 1904, I even praised the president's speech.
And talk and talked about how he was uh it was a great speech dealing with a terrible problem, and he was trying to balance the very thing.
I was not highly critical of the president.
I have focused on the illegal aspect of this.
Uh you know what it it's real simple, Senator.
You're you're making this so much more complicated than it needs to be.
What the people on my side of the aisle want is something very, very simple.
Tell us how many legal immigrants we're gonna permit, be permitted to come into this country every year and tell us how you're gonna reinforce or enforce that number.
We want to know what you're gonna do to stop this flood and how you're gonna protect the borders and then enforce the laws that you pass.
There's a fascinating column today in the New York Times by Ed Meese.
Ed Meese in the Reagan administration back in the 80s, he compares the Simpson Mazzoli bill language with the um uh uh current Senate compromise bill.
It is astounding how it is the same thing.
They just keep recycling the same things over and over and over again.
Now we sit here and we're flattered that Senator McCain considers this program to be an obstacle in his plans.
But I am I am um amazed at how he tries to lump me with people who don't think like I do on this.
He tries to lump me with people in a way that will cause uh uh my credibility and image to be damaged in the process.
In doing so, he totally misstates or or misimplies to people in this small room of august Republicans at the Regency Hotel what my position on all of this is.
So McCain is taking the same tact that the left takes rather than deal with the substance of the ideas presented on this program, and rather respond that way.
He tries to miscast what happens on this program, miss state it, mischaracterize it for the purpose of discrediting me and others who hold this position.
By the way, we have uh uh well, just listen, we just got this, folks.
We have we have connections.
Some of the finest bumper music known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
Gotta go to an obscene EIB Profit Center timeout.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
People are asking, folks.
They want to know what I think of ABC News dumping a pregnant anchorette infobabe Elizabeth Vargas uh in favor of Charlie Gibson.
Uh doesn't surprise me.
The only people they're raising a uh a little tiff about it, the nags.
Uh I have a story I'll get to it in the stack as we uh unfold today, but the uh the nags, a National Association of Gals President Kim Gandhi is uh is upset, but her comments are somewhat uh hilarious because not even she wants to go full bore into uh being critical of uh of ABC.
But we'll get to all that in due course here, folks.
Lots of time remaining on the program today, and I want to go to the phones because we haven't done that yet.
People have been waiting patiently since we begamble start in Northport, Michigan with David.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Megaditas Rush, how are you doing?
Good, sir.
Thank you.
Great.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about your comment on Dan Brown.
The Da Vinci Code, yes.
Yes.
Da Vinci Code.
Just a little background.
Uh I'm a I'm an uh uh adult who became a Christian.
And um I had a good friend two years ago give me the book, Da Vinci Code.
He said it was great, and I read it, and I kind of started to laugh.
I got a real kick out of it.
I thought it was kind of a B-grade thriller.
But his footnoting, he goes through over and over an attempt to say this is historical.
Here are the footnotes, here's what you can look at.
And then when he's asked about it, says, Oh, well, this is fiction.
This is fiction.
Now, my good friend, when I told him about that, that that uh this was not true, that uh my good friend said, Oh, it's all footnoted, it's all there.
And to me, Dan Brown is just playing it both ways.
He's trying to take advantage of this anti-Christian kind of attitude in the country.
He's made a bazillion dollars.
And then when asked and pinned down, he says, Oh, well, it's just fiction.
But if you look at the way he wrote the book, he made it appear like it's not.
Uh very seriously.
So anyway, that was my only comment.
I don't mind what you are saying about it.
Um you don't think I should be uh boycotted like Melvin Beb.
No, no.
I think that's kind of silly stuff.
Uh my opinion is is your humor is the better way to deal with it because it is humorous what he's trying to do.
He's I'm sorry.
No, I I'm just I'm I'm this is one of those rare times where I'm gonna have trouble uh expressing myself.
Um it it's it it's more complicated than just simply saying uh I'm not bothered by it.
Look, I'm a Christian, and I have my my faith is secure and profound, and and I simply am not bothered.
I'm I I'm not threatened uh I'm it at all by it.
Uh and I'm not threatened by Hollywood.
Uh and I'm I I know that there's an anti-Christian bias in the country, and I know that it's uh the the one religion that it's safe to attack uh and and you can even be praised and get credit, maybe earn a lot of money doing it, is Christianity.
You can't do it with any other religion.
Look at look at Hollywood, look at the media when it came to the Muhammad cartoons on oh, I can't defend these uh Islamic uh people must practice restraint uh very deeply held beliefs.
But I understand the paradigm in this country.
I understand that the elites on the left are frightened.
They're the ones who are scared to death of just how faithful this country is, just how many Christians there are here, uh, and I totally understand their effort to beat it back, because the last thing these people want is to be judged.
They don't want anybody casting aspersions on who they are and what they think.
In fact, let me find I've got to find this, because this this just dovetails exactly with the comments that I would like to make about this.
I have this buried in the in the uh end of the stack here.
It's about not this movie, it's it's about what's going on in college campaign today.
Uh and and what it's it's an opinion journal.com piece, and it is uh by a professor who's all concerned about the here it is, the confusion on campus.
Now, this is the and here's here's the quote of the of the cov the Hulk piece, of the column.
In the absence of agreement on common values or a core curriculum, anything goes.
Now, this is an article about higher education, but that quote, in the absence of agreement on common values or a core curriculum, anything goes, defines the Democratic Party today.
It defines the left worldwide.
They're struggling so hard with their plan, they go behind closed doors to come up with their contract for America, whatever it is.
This is it.
In the absence of agreement on common values or a core curriculum, anything goes.
Well, the opposite is true when you get to people of faith.
There are common values, there is a core curriculum, and there are guardrails.
There's right And there's wrong.
There aren't too many gray areas of nuance.
And so it it makes total sense to me that people who are confident in their faith, who are rock solid in it, would provide threat, would be a huge threat to people who have no foundation at all on which to stand.
Anything goes, whatever they want to do is fine.
These people are the ones wandering aimlessly for meaning in their lives.
They don't have any meaning.
It's why they join protest marches.
It's why they try to convert every protest march to their cause.
It is why they engage in such nefarious things as the unscientifically proven global warming, um any number of mad cap uh leftist issues that come up.
It's simply a bunch of lost souls seeking meaning in their lives.
They are afraid to go someplace where true meaning can be found because that's going to put an end to their fun because there are going to be limits.
They prefer the anything goes.
They are threatened, and so you get movies like the Da Vinci Code.
You get books like the Da Vinci Code.
Now, I, uh, folks, to be perfectly honest with you, don't look at this movie, and I didn't look at The Last Temptation of the Christ uh as as a threat.
That was Martin Scorsese's movie.
I it's it's it's offensive, but you know my theory on being offended.
I don't allow people to offend me anymore.
I I I think it's it's absurd to grant people that kind of power.
Just don't listen to them, just ignore them.
Now some people get worried.
If Dan Brown's out there saying everything in this book is true, then okay, you can go after him on that.
But if I I've checked this stuff, I've gone to some of these websites with some of these organizations that he talks about in this uh in his book and in the movie, the Knights Templar and all.
If you go to the websites uh which support the belief and the theory as espoused in the movie, you find that you're gonna be gazing at kook websites.
You're gonna be gazing at people who believe in conspiracy theories because simple explanations simply won't do.
In a world this complicated, where there's people with so much power and so many people with so little power, there has to be some conspiratorial explanation for why this has happened.
How come the Catholic Church is so big?
It can't simply be because the flock believe it, that the faithful are devoted.
How can it be that Christianity is so large and is good?
Can't be because the people who believe it actually do.
They have been duped, they have been smeared, they have been they have been led astray down the false path.
All of that is nothing other than an attempt to assault and attack something much larger than these people have in their own lives, because it in it it makes them uncomfortable.
It adds to their meaninglessness, uh, and it adds to their fear.
Uh so I don't allow myself to be offended.
If something I believe in uh is is seriously and profoundly attacked, and you know me, I launch to its defense, and I will do my best to rebut what I think is bogus criticism.
But in in this case, I read the book, and I must tell you I didn't feel threatened.
My beliefs were not uh shattered.
I didn't start questioning the authorities that I had sought uh in the process of cementing my faith.
I just read it as it was a novel.
You find it in the fiction section.
And then here comes the movie.
And I I read what all the critics had to say about the movie, and they ripped it to shreds.
They hated it.
They said they insulted the actors uh personally and the director personally.
They uh they said this is as horrible because their expectations were so high.
They were hoping for a movie.
This is how vacant they are.
They were hoping for a movie that would finally cause the whole country to question what they have always believed in terms of their Christian beliefs.
The movie didn't accomplish that, and that's why the critics hated it.
You can't deny people are going to watch it, but one of the reasons why is all the buzz around it, all the curiosity.
People want to see what all the hubbub is about.
But I don't think the book or the movie uh is gonna result in one Christian renouncing the faith I've been lied to uh at all.
It's gonna inspire curiosity as it did with you and your friend, and you're more people are gonna look into it than ever before.
You've got to look on the bright side when you can find it.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have El Rushbow with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
We go to Eugene Oregon and Karen, glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Goody afternoon, sir.
Yes.
Um earlier in your program you mentioned that um Hillary has been opposed to ethanol, and it has been recorded that she has been so.
Yes, that's true.
Um I watched her this morning, well, yeah, this morning, when she was talking at the uh national press club.
Um and she came out um two hundred and fifty thousand percent behind it.
Could you prove could you uh bring some proof that she she has not ever been behind it?
Uh easy.
Uh I in fact what you heard today, we played those audio sound bites on this program earlier, and I described what she did today as a flip-flop.
She has been staunchly opposed to ethanol and ethanol subsidies.
She's voted against them twice.
I'll cite the bills and votes in just a moment for you.
Uh this is a total flip-flop on the part of Mrs. Clinton because ethanol is made from corn, corns in Iowa.
Iowa holds the first presidential primary, the Hawkeye Cockye.
This is her virtual appearance, uh virtual campaign starting the Iowa caucuses for her presidential run.
It also um uh Karen, this this uh uh proposal that you heard her mention today at the National Press Club, most of which was very, very disappointing and dense.
It was a rehash of policies that Jimmy Carter had tried back in the 70s.
Wear sweaters, uh avoid jackrabbit starts, make sure your tires are inflated properly, then she gets this ethanol business.
There was uh in in uh in 2005, in the summer of 2005, just one year ago, uh the Senate bill was HR 6.
And the official title of the HR six was to ensure jobs for our future with secure, affordable, and reliable energy.
The highlights of HR six would require a gradual increase in the amount of ethanol that is added to gasoline from four billion gallons in two thousand six to a minimum of seven and a half billion gallons by twenty twelve.
Mrs. Clinton voted no.
Mrs. Clinton voted no on HR six, which among other things required a gradual increase for the amount of ethanol that's added to gasoline.
There was an amendment to HR six, uh and the uh uh Senate amendment 781 to HR six.
And the official title of the legislation was to ensure that ethanol is treated like all other motor vehicle fuels, and that taxpayers and local governments do not have to pay for environmental damage caused by ethanol.
Um Mrs. Clinton uh voted no on the amendment and the bill to ensure that ethanol treated like all other motor vehicle fuels and that taxpayers and local governments don't have to pay for environmental damage uh that it causes.
Uh one of the highlights of HR 6 maintains the requirement that refiners phase MTBE out of gasoline production and in its place produce eight billion gallons of renewable fuels such as cellulosic biomass ethanol and biodiesel uh per year by twenty twelve.
Mrs. Clinton voted no.
Now uh Karen, does that answer the question for you?
No, it doesn't, Rush.
Do you know why she voted no on that?
Uh does it matter?
Uh yes, it does.
It matters as well.
By all means learn me, Karen.
Uh, what was it that made her vote no?
I don't Rush, I don't know why she voted no.
But I also don't know why Bush a couple of years ago said we're not going to build a wall between us and Mexico because that's a sign of bad faith.
Oh my god.
People change their ideas.
They they change.
Okay to change.
Why did why did Hillary change her opinion?
I don't know.
Well, you certainly sounded like you knew when you were chastising me for No, but I think when No, no, but I think when you come out so adamantly in one direction, there has to be a reason why Karen.
Yes.
You have to stop feeling about this.
And you have you you're gonna have to grow up.
I have cited for you facts.
I'm going to have to do that.
Now you can argue with me all day long, but you don't get your own set of facts.
I said earlier the program that she was against the expanded use of ethanol.
I was right.
You called to challenge me to prove it.
I proved it to you.
You said, Well, do you know why she changed your voice?
I said, No, well, I don't either, you said.
Uh and now you want to excuse her for ch all I'm saying is she's flip-flopped on it, and I've told you why she's flip-flopping on it.
Uh uh people allow to change their mind.
Yes or no.
Of course they are.
Okay.
So does hands.
Those that have minds are allowed to change them.
A mind's a terrible thing to lose.
No, you're not.
Is it okay to change your mind?
But you called here challenging...
You called here Hillary against ethanol.
You called here challenging me.
You said I said something and you wanted me to prove it, and I've proved it to you.
And even though I have demonstrated for you that Mrs. Clinton has flip-flopped, she didn't say anything today about previously opposing ethanol, by the way.
This is not a change of mind.
You've got to get up to speed on this is a waste of time.
You you have to find you have to learn who this woman is, Karen.
This is the one state, by the way, that liberal radio is succeeding.
Uh it is.
This is the one state.
Oregon's the one state.
They got one two towns out there where liberal radio can be said to have some listeners.
And I I under I understand why now.
No, I think we have about six, as a matter of fact.
But it is it okay.
Okay, six.
Well, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
No, no, wait.
Is it okay for people to change their minds?
Yeah, okay.
It's okay for people to change their minds.
It's okay for people to be terribly wrong.
It's okay for people to be dumb.
It's okay for people to be helpless, it's okay for Karen, everything's okay.
Okay.
So when It's okay to be anything said anything.
And now he's changed his mind.
That's okay.
Uh well, in this case, I think the the Senate Is that okay?
The members of Congress have uh are responding uh to an outcry from this is a waste of time.
I'll tell I'll try anyway.
The members of Congress responding to an outcry from the American people over enforcement of the border.
I haven't uh the the the president has has agreed that okay, a three hundred and seventy mile long fence, it's not it's not the whole border, it's not sixteen hundred miles, it's three hundred and seventy miles.
Uh but now it's okay to build a wall.
Uh yeah, I think we need to build a bigger one.
Okay.
But before he said it's a bad thing to build a wall.
You know, you can you uh uh uh Karen Yes he did.
You can no, I'm I'm not even arguing it with you.
It's not the point.
You are gonna find a way to treat Mrs. Clinton as your God candidate no matter what.
You call here demanding proof, I give you proof, you didn't even hear the proof.
The proof the the proof scares you, and so you've got to come up with some way to make yourself feel better about the fact that you have been had.
Proof doesn't scare me.
I think proof tends to make people that are sitting on the fence a little defensive, maybe.
Maybe you proof tends to make people sitting on the fence a little proof shatters people.
When you proof shatters your world view, you are uh you're destroyed.
Are you tilting one way or the other?
On what?
On the fence.
I'm not on the fence.
Oh.
No, I'm not tilting on the fence.
You're very good.
You know, I I must I must compliment you.
Uh even when you're what even when your back is up against the wall, you are very good.
And I must compliment you.
Your umitations are, you know, let me ask you, let me add Helen.
Uh Karen, Karen, let me let me ask you a quick question.
No, no, Helen.
Helen is Helen.
I'm sorry, I was I was I was thinking of the movie Troy.
Uh Karen, let me let me let me ask you a quick question.
Sure.
Uh we we all know that it's okay to change your mind.
Uh as you point out.
Everybody, everybody changes as they learn things, as they uh as they forget things, people change.
Well, and don't you aren't you interested?
You're asking me, and I'm I'm I have no effect on you.
Aren't you concerned about why she changed her mind?
Shouldn't you be asking her why she changed her mind instead of simply blindly accepting that she changed her mind?
Aren't you curious as to why she did?
You know what, Rush?
I am thrilled that people, adult mature people, actually have the ability to change their mind.
You know, it's not.
And I know I you know, I know I know why that is, Karen, because that represents open mindedness.
Uh it means uh broad thinking rather than closed-mindedness and so forth.
I look I get it.
I understand it totally.
Um, no, it's not Helen Thomas, it's Karen from Eugene, Oregon.
Karen, I have to run here because I'm I'm up against it on the uh constraints of the uh busy broadcast format clock.
Um and I I really would have loved to continue talking with you, but I changed my mind.
Oh, you just heard it, folks.
Um I got I guess so many emails from people saying, bring back the caller abortions.
You know, I ought to do we ought to we ought to do that.
We ought to go back and and just from the get-go, reset up that whole thing.
They call her abortions, oh man, the fur was flying back in 1988 and 89 when we did that.
Um people were demanding caller abortion.
Yeah, but folks, this is this is this is uh educational stuff.
When you listen to uh uh people like Karen, uh, you know, typical Hillary supporter, not questioning whatever, whatsoever.
No doubt, no questions about what Hillary says or does when she says or does them.
Uh not curious whatsoever.
Uh she has to ask me if I change my mind.
And it's a big deal if a person is able to change their mind.
Uh they have no idea why Hillary changed her mind.
They don't care.
They're glad she did it because it shows that she has a mind.
And some of them have a doubt about that.
Larry in Dearborn, Michigan, you're next.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Mega did always rush.
It's an honor to speak to you.
Thank you, sir.
I was uh listening to Hillary's speech.
Well, first I was nervous because I had to follow a good caller, and then the liberal got bumped to the front, so I'm not as nervous anymore.
But the speech from Hillary was it sounded familiar, and I realized where I heard it.
At the beginning of winter, my grandma called me and she told me that prices for heating and gas were going up and then I should check my tire pressure and make sure that I my windows aren't leaky, so Hillary is uh stealing ideas from my grandma.
Yeah, well, I saw a special on the news that said that if you do all that stuff with your tire pressure, then you'll save four miles to the full tank.
So I'm looking forward to that.
Well, but you know, this is th this whole thing is is it's it's a rehash of stuff from the 70s.
It was banal.
It was really I mean, here she's making this big energy speech before the media, the drive-by media at the National Press Club, their super secret headquarters.
Uh and gives them this.
Check your tire pressure, move to fluorescent lights, make sure that you get the leaks, the air leaks or in your windows and doors fixed.
It all adds up, and it all really, really matters.
As far as tire pressure is concerned.
I mean, that's you're gonna stop Every time you fill up, check your what, Mr. Snerdley.
Hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I don't I don't know where the fluorescent lights have been swapped in Chappaqua.
I don't know.
I have no clue.
I probably not.
This is, you know, her plans will be for everybody else, not her.
The elites are not going to their thermostats will be at 72 if they tell us to turn ours down to 68.
There's nothing new about that.
Speaking of Mrs. Clinton, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh Hillary Clinton has proposed amending, and this is this is just news today.
Uh Mrs. Clinton's has proposed amending the Senate's immigration reform legislation to provide federal funding for the education and health care of illegal immigrants, arguing that the federal government should pick up the tab for social services provided to illegals.
Mrs. Clinton told the Senate, quote, my amendment addresses one of the clearest examples of this neglect because our failed national immigration policy has left our state and local governments to bear the brunt of the costs of immigration.
Our screwels, our hospitals, our other state and local services are being strained.
She said that her plan would direct funds to state criminal alien assistance programs to offset the costs of illegal aliens who continue to break the law after they enter the U.S. And her plan would establish a program that provides financial assistance to state and local governments for the cost of health and education services related to immigration.
You know, we need to start throwing some labels around ourselves here.
They're going to call people like us nativists and restrictionists and so forth, my friends, we are patriots.
What would they call Vicente Fox?
Does anybody really believe this?
Vicente Fox, the president of Mexico, on a three-day four-state tour to try to tell us what we're doing right and wrong about our immigration policy.
What does it matter?
Does any the st I mean it is so absurd?
The commonsensical reaction to this would be who the hell are you coming here telling us what to do?
You're the one that's got the problem.
Except in his mind, it's not a problem.
I'm sure he doesn't mind this exit out of his country because the money that's uh being brought back in or sent back in is uh is helping out their economy in any number of ways without the people uh that are sending the money actually being in Mexico, taking up jobs, earning it or what have you, and putting a strain on their social services to the extent that uh that they that they have them.
So now Mrs. Clinton wants to uh uh propose federal funding for illegal immigrants to take the strain off of the states.
Um so she wants to shift some of the responsibility for payment, uh but not eliminate any of it.
This I know it's taxpayers' money.
I know Hillary Clinton wants your money to be used to fund the safety net, education, and all that health care programs for illegal aliens.
Still lots to go on the exciting big broadcast uh today, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh story from the Australian.
Uh it's the UK Times and the uh French press agency are saying that the United States and Great Britain uh will begin their Iraq exit in July.
The uh U.S. will draw down to 100,000 troops from 133,000 at present.
The Brits will uh drop from 8,000 to 5,000 by the end of the year.
And again, U.S. uh hundred and thirty-three thousand troops drop down to about one hundred thousand Iraq security forces could be in charge of much of the country by the year's end.
How many how many just people, when this story gets broad coverage in drive-by media, how many of them will say, ah, a sign that we are winning?
Zero.
