It's a real phenomenon.
You mean this cutting and uh self-abuse business out there among students?
Uh real phenomenon.
Well, I just I just got an email from a friend that said it's old news that movies have been made about it, that Oprah's done shows on it, that it's uh such old news that surprised I hadn't heard about it.
Well, I know I'm uh world's foremost authority.
Uh but I I've not run across that.
Nor the psychological analysis of why people are cutting themselves up.
At any rate, greetings, welcome back, folks.
Nice to have you.
El Rushbo serving humanity simply by showing up here at the one and only EIB network, the Rush Limbaugh program, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
It appears that uh Dana L., who wrote the Washington Post piece yesterday in the Outlook section about uh how the Bush administration's conservative policies are responsible for her having to have an abortion.
She's doing a chat, the Washington Post website.
And uh Catherine Jean Lopez at National Review on the line alerted me to this.
And here's an exchange between uh somebody that wrote Dana L. a question from Myersville, Maryland.
Thanks for the honest article, Dana L. Does Planned Parenthood distribute Plan B in Virginia?
Or is it only available through MD offices?
If not, is it because of Virginia state laws regarding the distribution of birth control?
Dana L's reply.
I believe Planned Parenthood distributes Plan B nationwide.
Unfortunately for me, in my panic that Friday, I didn't even think of calling Planned Parenthood.
She forgot to call Planned Parenthood.
So the bottom line is that the conservative political philosophies and policies of the Bush administration are not at fault.
It's her own memory.
She'd call if she'd have called Plan.
I'm I guarantee you, Planned Parenthood would have probably delivered the stuff if she had told him she's going to write a piece of the Washington Post about all this.
Although at that time I doubt I doubt that she uh she knew that.
You know, there's there's still buzzing in New York about the budget cuts from homeland security.
Our buddies at Newsmax went back and did some research.
And uh they found some fascinating and they found it from the New York Daily News last December.
New York politicians uh allowed up to one-third of the original 20 billion dollars in federal aid awarded to the city in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks to be squandered right under their noses.
But that, of course, uh has not stopped some of the same politicians from complaining all weekend about 80 million, a mere 80 million compared to the 20 billion they got at first.
Uh cut in New York City's federal anti-terrorism budget.
You've had Hillary at Chuck Schumer, Peter King say that they're outraged over these cuts with Clinton and King ting teaming up to launch a postcard writing campaign against uh the Department of Homeland Security.
At any rate, here's what the study in the New York Daily News found, and it was published uh last December.
Up to one-third of the 21.4 billion.
Now keep in mind we're talking about eighty million dollars in cuts here that these guys just blew their snacks over.
Up to one-third or seven billion, up to seven billion dollars in 9-11 cash awarded to New York City by the White House, had been earmarked for major transportation projects that had no connection to the devastation caused on 9-11.
$150,000 was awarded to a securities firm that had gone out of business before the 9-11 attacks, plus millions more from the fund was earmarked for formerly self-supporting projects.
10 million dollars in 9-11 cash was embezzled by a senior member of the New York Medical Examiner's office.
A 9-11 clean air program ended up giving away a hundred and eighteen thousand air conditioners when its original budget covered only 5,000 units.
The total cost overrun there was 115 million.
Get this.
An associate of the Lucchese crime family allegedly got a piece of the 9-11 pie, divided up, uh dividing up anticipated reconstruction contracts with other New York crime families.
One mobbed up 9-11 worker was listed as a $58,000 per year employee, even though he was in jail at the time.
A whopping $154 million in grants and tax-exempt liberty bonds was awarded to a single business, the Bank of New York.
That small piece of the 9-11 jackpot represents nearly twice the amount of cuts in New York City's federal anti-terrorism budget, which is again a little less than 80 million.
So what does this add up to?
It's $80 million versus $7 billion of the first $21 billion that they got that wasn't even spent on Homeland Security.
And it's it's the same it's it's the same uh uh thing that happened with the tobacco settlement money.
All that money gets spent on things totally unrelated to the reason the money was awarded to them in the first place.
When you throw big stashes of money at government, they're just gonna spend it as government does in all kinds of different ways to buy votes or to secure patronage or or or what have you.
Uh and when you read through this stuff, uh uh what they end up buying 118.
Would somebody tell me clean air program going out and buying and giving away 118,000 air conditioners as part of an anti-terrorism campaign.
Uh I I just it it it's it's just typical.
And and and to listen to these these politicians whine and moan over their 80 million dollars and how it represents New York now at greater risk and so forth is just silly.
It's it the d I'll tell you what, the Department of Homeland Security and these grants to most politicians and elected officials is nothing more than an opportunity to grow government.
It's what the Senate's immigration bill is all about.
It's just the latest effort to grow government.
It's what global warming is all about.
When you strip it all away, look at Gore.
Gore's the latest example.
He's got a big movie out there.
Isn't it fascinating that all the big players in the global warming debate are celebrities?
None of them are really scientists.
Gore can't make a claim to be a scientist.
William Gray, there's a column in the Denver Post today, uh, can't remember the author's name.
He quotes Bill Gray, the famed hurricane uh forecaster and expert as saying, uh, this is just it's it's mindless.
It's been 20 years of brainwashing going on out there about global warming.
He said a lot of young scientists don't buy into any of this.
They don't dare speak up because who needs it?
They don't need the ridicule.
There's funding involved in this.
Gray says, I think what's going to happen in the next four years, we're going to start seeing a cooling, just like they were talking about in that newsweek piece in 1975 or 79, whenever it was, about the oncoming global cooling.
All this, if you look at what the prescriptions are for global warming, from Kyoto to Gore to anything else, it's all about government controlling more choices on the part of the American people, and in this in that sense, denying choice.
You're going to be told what kind of car you have to drive.
You're going to be told what kind of fuel you have to use.
You're going to be told all kinds if that's it it all this is is just the it's it's it's two things.
I mean, uh the real wacko activists are nothing more than a bunch of anti-capitalists who are seeking uh uh punitive action against the United States because they're this self-loathing, they're angry, they're hateful, they despise our size, our prosperity, want to cut us down to size in their minds.
The other people are just big government advocates, and they just want government in charge of as much as possible.
The best way to do it is to create a crisis and a scare and go out there and get people thinking only government can solve this problem, only government can fix this.
It's what's happening in immigration, it's what's happening in global warming, and it's not what's happening with the Homeland Security budget.
Uh we create this new DHS, Department of Homeland Security, it's new bureaucracy.
What are they doing?
They're passing out money.
They're passing out money.
They're not patrolling the borders.
Nobody's really concerned about that.
We have this incident up in Canada, ought to open everybody's eyes uh about the th the real threat that we still face.
The one thing that we are doing that would help is this surveillance, the foreign surveillance, just like the Canadians found this cell, uh, they were monitoring chat room discussions, and uh they monitored it for a long time when they finally got to the point that took it seriously, they moved in and looked at and lo and behold what they found.
The one thing that uh we're trying to do to actually prevent another attack so that we don't need all these resources and all these air conditioners and all the money going to the Lucchese crime family and all of this other gibberish.
The very people who are supportive they claim of doing something for the war on terror are against and trying to stop on the basis of civil liberties, the one thing that makes the most sense.
And because that doesn't grow government in the way they want it grown.
That doesn't grow government in terms of money.
You know, it's really contradictory in a sense, too, because these global warming advocates would love to take away your freedom to drive and buy the car of your choice.
But they at the same time they when it when it's some government action is good like that, some government actions bad.
Listening to phone calls to find out when terrorists are going to attack, why that's bad.
Domestic spying on Americans, why that's bad.
So they have varying degrees to which they like big government.
I'll guarantee you, if it were the Clinton administration doing the spying, and they did, they had echelon, the Clinton administration was doing all kinds of this and more.
Quick timeout.
Gotta go back in just a second.
Here on the cutting edge of societal evolution and having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have James of Philadelphia.
Glad you called, sir.
You're up.
Right?
Yes, sir.
Megan Ditto's.
Can you hear me?
Yes, James, I hear you just fine.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, I was just calling up in response to that caller who uh called about the Bosby uh candidate saying that uh that can never happen with those illegals that uh uh you know they could never she could never get them to vote or anything like that.
Well, I worked uh twenty years in county government.
I was an elected local official, so I dealt a lot with our local uh with the county uh registration voter voter registration bureau.
And I saw many times where people could come in with any kind of document, register to vote, and nobody checked it.
Uh the last woman that was the director, she was the only one in the whole voter registration department.
They she couldn't she couldn't get help.
And besides that, they had they passed a voter registration law in Pennsylvania a couple years ago where you could pick up uh any kind of card to the post office, fill out your name, and you could go in to vote.
So these people that are involved in these political campaigns, like that's Busby or whatever name is, they know darn right well that these people can register to vote and they're not gonna be checked.
Not only that, I happen to think it's an outreach campaign, I think it's something that's actively going on.
Um what you say doesn't surprise me, Philadelphia.
That's a Democrat town.
It's always been a Democrat town.
Look at the past in Chicago, all the jokes people told about dead people voting folks.
If there's fraudulent voting anywhere, there's fraudulent voting.
If there's fraudulent registration, it's fraudulent registration.
So if dead people are registered to vote, if people without proper identification are allowed to register to vote, then why is it so difficult to make the leap and assume that a candidate running for the House in California would secure the assistance or try to of illegal aliens.
Look at every time the Democrats react.
Look at how they react every time somebody proposes a law requiring photo ID.
You can't do it, they say.
It's discriminatory.
Picture ID, not fair, not right, and we hear some of the lamest excuses for anything we've ever heard.
Well, you know, they're black.
Uh they're whore and they're old and and and uh they've got memories of slavery, and um they're afraid that they're afraid that if they it's it's just the government trying to keep tabs on them, and they're good citizens, we just our constituents uh very, very troubled about this.
In Georgia, they say, okay, well, we'll we'll if if they're if they can't afford it, we will offer it to them for nothing, and if they don't have a means to get down to the registration office, we will go to their homes.
And the people like the uh Reverend Dax would say, well, that's even worse.
I mean, if you're gonna have a government official come to these people's homes with the fears they already harbor, they can't do that, this is utter discrimination.
The last time there was a voter ID bill in the Senate, every Dennett Democrat voted against it.
Well, folks, there's a reason for this.
The dirty little secret is that in the last 20 years, 20 or 30 years, the Democratic Party has not successfully been able to reach out and recruit new voters among the American citizens.
You go back to 1994.
Take a look after the House was uh quote unquote taken over by the Republicans in what were fair elections, by the way.
Look at the number of Democrats that resigned the House, switched parties.
People forget about this.
Why do you think Hillary Clinton is so eager to uh legalize felons, convicted felons being able to vote?
Why do you think there is such eagerness on the part of uh mostly Democrats and unfortunately a lot of Republicans for this illegal immigration bill?
It's because, in addition to all the things that have said about how it represents big government and how it's a direct assault on conservatives, it's a pool of voters.
The Democrats' dirty little secret is their party is shrinking, folks.
And that's why they have to make this outreach.
And you you you take a look.
Just be honest about this.
Examine the Democrats just since Bush took office.
You give me one example where they, with their their their national chairman, whoever it's been, or their well-stoned memorials.
I mean, these people are funeral crashers.
Or whatever it is, the war in Iraq, the war on terror, their assaults on the U.S. military, their assaults on this.
You tell me one thing they're doing that is inspirational, that is motivational, it makes people want to join their team.
It makes boy, I wish I was on that team is not being said by people out there.
And and of course, this is it would never be reported.
Probably wouldn't even be studied because such a thing is unthinkable by the left and in the drive-by media.
That's why they can't come to grips with the fact they're losing these elections.
That's why it's always a voting machine, or it's always a hanging chad, or some such thing.
A little Robert Kennedy in Rolling Stone write a big in-depth piece about how he knows for a fact that 150,000 votes that should have gone to Carrie D. Didn't because the Republicans found a way to cheat.
Uh there's actually a a hidden agenda about his piece that I'll explain to you a little bit later in the program.
It was that's a cover for what actually is is the point for these people uh like Robert Kennedy and others who want to keep raising this issue.
But the bottom line here in this context is all they do is continue to say we've been cheated out of elections, and they think that because it's just not thinkable they could lose.
There are so many more Democrats than Republicans.
How can this be?
Then you add in the specifics of Bush is an idiot, Bush is stupid, Bush liar, Bush is Hitler.
How can people be voting for this guy?
Well, they aren't.
It's obviously Republicans are cheating and stealing.
They are losing voters.
The Democratic Party is losing.
This, folks, is why, speaking for myself, I I I get so frustrated at the Republican Party for not understanding the position they're in and maximizing this opportunity, this phenomenon, by going out and doing what's been done in the last 20, 30 years to expand the Republican Party, which has been conservatism and conservative leadership.
Uh that's the dirty little secret.
The idea that Francine Busby would not, or any Democrat would not attempt to solicit illegal aliens to either vote for her or to work for her campaign.
Why you you'd you'd have to cancel out years and years and years and years and years of Democratic politics not to believe it.
Simon and Albuquerque, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Russ, I'm glad to talk to you.
I've just become a big fan of yours recently.
Um I I basically call because the the I pretty much agree with you on everything, and I actually stopped listening to a lot of these other people over the Defy Ports deal, but you were the only person that uh said basically what I felt in my gut too at the time.
But um the the thing that uh that I don't agree with you on is that the lift in the Republican Party is somehow due to Bush that he is a moderate and that they've gotten frustrated or don't want to contradict him.
I I think that what the Republicans should have been doing is shooting to the right or aiming to the right of him rather than to the left, you know, and it seems like issue after issue falls in their laps.
They don't take advantage of it.
It's sort of what you were talking about about not getting their agenda out.
Um, and if they've gone to the right of him the whole time, I mean uh I think the media would have been a little easier on Bush.
I mean, he's still gonna pummel him, but they would have said, well, geez, this guy is a moderate compared to his his party, and they still would have gotten their philosophy out, but they just seem like a bunch of divided Democrats right now.
Let me Simon, let me step here and analyze this because uh I've got limited time here.
I think I can squeeze this in.
Basic point you're making is that the the GOP drift away from conservatism, you don't think is the the fault of the president, it's rather the fault of moderates uh in in the party.
Look, if this is uh you know chicken or egg question, which came first, what is it that's emboldening the moderates?
What's embolden the moderates is is that the conservatives are frustrated.
And why are the conservatives frustrated is because there is no elected conservative leadership, and they can't move to the right of Bush without being considered traitors and have the White House exact a whole lot of pain on them.
Plus the whole notion of party loyalty uh would would prohibit them from doing that uh as well.
Quick time out, folks, we'll be back and continue in just a moment.
Continuing to make the complex understandable.
Ill Rushbo.
Uh the limbo institute for advanced conservative studies.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm I I want to clarify something if uh if somebody uh misunderstood.
Uh plan B, the pill that's being talked about here in the case of Dana Ill is not R U 46.
I think I misspoke about that the uh the first time I mentioned this.
What plan B does is cause an immediate uh period.
Uh I I think plan B is just a large dose of uh hormones.
This causes an immediate period.
That's why it has to be used within 72 hours.
It's uh it's uh I don't know, it just causes it just causes uh uh periods.
Uh R U 46 is a steroid.
Now remember though, the point of this is Dana L was upset she couldn't get it over the counter because Bush conservative political policy is uh prevent it from being uh made available over the counter.
Uh earth to Dana L. Didn't Congress just pass a law or the FDA, a regulation restricting the sale of some cold medicines over the counter.
You have to know uh that you don't need a prescription for them, but you you have to go back to the pharmacist and they're behind his counter, or her counter, and you have to go and ask for it, and there's a limit on how much the that you can get in one place because of uh what there's a drug yeah, there's a drug in some of it you if people know what they're doing can make crystal meth out of.
Um so, you know the it's not just Plan B that is uh uh not being made available over the counters, a whole number of other uh medicines that f used to be available over the counter, which uh which aren't.
I know some of it doesn't make any sense.
It's uh typical of the regulatory uh agencies that get involved in these things.
What is what is.
But fact is that she forgot in her in her panic that the plan B is available at any Planned Parenthood store, which when you look at that, it obviates the need to write the column.
The purpose of well, I couldn't get this over the counter.
I spent all this time calling pharmacists, I couldn't get a prescription from a doctor, I didn't want to hunt around, I didn't want to call all these doctors that didn't know.
Uh yet she apparently did call all around trying to find a doctor to perform an abortion after the 72 hours had passed, because that was hard too.
Planned parenthood in both instances uh is your ticket.
If you need plan B, Plan Parenthood.
If you miss Plan B and you need an abortion, Plan Parenthood.
P P. You know, put it up there on the calendar.
You have a little uh I'm sure Planned Parenthood has these uh metallic stickers for your refrigerator.
You know, just uh go get one, put it up there so you never ever forget this great service uh offered.
Joseph in Trinidad, Colorado, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Nice speaker, uh faithful pupil of yours, age twelve.
Uh I just wanted to comment on this uh Dana L. Uh anybody with a functioning brain can see that her claims of uh not being able to get the services are quite dubious, and I just didn't want to point out, you know, it's uh uh an age old tactic of uh of uh left-wing uh liberal psychosis to uh um you have your radio on, Joseph.
Uh yeah, let me turn it on.
Turn your radio down because our our delay to protect us for when you cuss or others uh utter an obscenity that you're hearing yourself late and is confusing you.
Okay.
Um I was gonna say, you know, it it is really common for uh what you think is she made it up.
You you th you think she you think you you're doubting her honesty, is that it?
Yeah, that that's my point.
You know, i I believe something may have happened, but there's no sort of outside verification that something actually did happen, you know.
Maybe she was pregnant, maybe she wasn't even, you know.
But you know, most likely, I think, with the situation that, you know, she ended up getting an abortion and found some way that it could have easily been fun to uh find another way to to criticize Bush and the administration.
Um this case, I can understand why you would think that, but I I don't I uh I think given uh the details in the column and so forth, I think it's probably probably true.
Uh regardless, uh it is just another opportunity to blame the Bush administration or blame conservatism for things.
And remember the this this is a woman who uh uh by if you read the column, if you if you go read the whole thing, you will you will you will easily conclude uh that she failed to accept responsibility for her actions and just had blamed somebody for it.
Uh and it actually turns out that if her memory were intact and if she were as informed on this as somebody you would think would be, lawyer and writer, uh then it was just it's her fault, her responsibility.
She's trying to pass the book.
Charlie in uh McKinney, Texas, you're next.
Great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Yes, sir.
Can you hear me?
Yes, sir, I do.
Okay, uh, I I listen to you regularly.
Uh the program you're talking about on the naturalization of the aliens that Al Gore was involved in was called Citizenship USA.
Yes, sir.
Read that in the article.
And uh I was a supervisory special agent at Dallas when that program was initiated.
And we were set to naturalize about 10,000.
We found over a thousand with criminal histories.
And they had to be uh, of course, set up for denaturalization, and all those cases were consolidated and sent to Charlotte, North Carolina.
They set up a special unit there to review all these cases.
And I think that process is still going on, but I'm retired now, so I have a voice, and uh so your staffer has my number, so you can call me if you have immigration questions.
Okay, well, I appreciate that, Charlie.
Thanks so much for your uh for your offer of assistance out there.
Uh I really appreciate it.
Have you heard about what's going on with uh with Wen Ho Lee?
This is a this is a fascinating story.
When Ho Lee from the Los Alamos nuclear facility was falsely accused of spying for the ChICOMs.
This was during the Clinton administration.
The Clinton administration leveled charges against him, prosecuted him.
The judge in the case offered an apology to when he sent me his book, Winho Lee sent me his book.
And it starts out with that apology from the judge talking about what a a serious miscarriage of justice was perpetrated against him by the United States government.
It's uh I don't know, it's unprecedented, but it's very rare.
Uh and this judge was really pointed, and he leveled at the government for what they had done to Winho Lee.
Well, Wenho Lee then went out and sued.
He sued uh newspaper organizations and television networks in the federal government.
A decision by five major news organizations to pay seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to Winho Lee uh because they were named in news stories as the target.
Well, they named him in news stories as the target of an espionage investigation, is now prompting warnings that the unusual payment could embolden others aggrieved by government leaks and lead to more litigation involving the press.
The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, ABC, and the Associated Press announced on Friday that they had agreed to the settlement in order to end litigation brought by Wen Ho Lee.
Jane Kirtley, former executive director of the reporters committee for freedom of the press, said in an interview, the implications of this are just staggering.
I think this is blood money that has been paid here.
As part of the settlement, the federal government also agreed to pay Wen Ho Lee eight hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars to cover his legal costs in pursuing the case.
Now, Jane Kurtley uh said the payment from the news outlets was troubling because none of the news organizations or journalists were named as defendants in his lawsuit, which accused the Federal officials of violating uh a 1974 law, the Privacy Act.
The reporters were held in contempt in the case after they refused to identify their confidential sources for stories about Lee.
The justice of this escapes me, Ms. Kirtley said of the payment, but it's the most creative way I've seen so far to do an end run around constitutional protections and get money anyway through this collateral attack.
She said the deal could encourage litigation and demands for payment in connection with mundane reports on hospital statements about those injured in crimes uh and uh and accidents.
Now, this this article is in the New York Sun today.
It's by Josh Gerstein.
And I have to say something, folks.
The whole article sounds really panicky.
And with good reason, maybe the drive-by is will start thinking twice before using their newsprint and their airwaves to destroy the lives of people who were unjustly accused of things.
See, this is how in the past I've always told you this.
If you're a journalism student, you want to rise to the top.
If you're a young journalist working in a little podunk paper, podunk TV station, go out and destroy somebody, and that's how you get noticed.
Because you are speaking truth to power, or whatever this cock-eyed phrase is.
Uh remember Richard Jewel, totally destroyed in the media after the FBI went after him as a person of interest, even though they had no proof.
Uh man's life was ruined.
The media joyfully aided and abetted that same with the Stephen Hatfield guy.
Um the the scientist accused of sending anthrax uh to various places in uh in Washington.
Uh maybe they will learn how to report news at the drive.
Ah, why I'm dreaming.
Why do I even say these things?
It'll never happen.
Now, this was the Clinton administration that leveled charges.
The sources that the drive-by media used in the 90s to go out and and falsely accuse Win Ho Lee came from the Clinton administration.
Uh and and so now the news organizations have had to pay.
Scooter Libby's request for uh media testimony and documents.
He's getting some, but not nearly all of what he wants.
Uh the judge is being very protective of the media in uh in that case.
But uh this is this is a godsend because it's it's it's about time that there was accountability since the drive-by media will not practice its own internal accountability, and it has to since it has constitutional protection.
Uh First Amendment protection, free speech, blah, blah, blah, all that, until McCain find gold too.
And if the media screws McCain in the upcoming campaign, you watch, you'll try to restrict him even more during campaigns, because uh he's a vindictive guy.
If they turn on him because he thinks uh that they are his uh his base.
But I mean, this is this is uh welcome sign.
You can when you read this whole story, you can just read the panic uh in in Jane Kirtley's comments about, oh no, what could this portend?
Well, it's about time the drive-by media got a little dose of what it does to people so they can find out what it's like.
They go out and systematically try to destroy somebody's reputation.
Uh and and any time something is done along the lines of trying to hold them accountable or harm their hold up their head.
You can't touch us.
We're journalists.
You know, they go out and they you can do research anybody's past, find out what they did in high school, what they did in college, publish it in a big profile, go out and try to dig up the same kind of dirt about a journalist and let the journalists find out about it, and you have a sheer panic on your hand.
Journalists, well, you can't do that.
I'm a journalist.
Well, I'm just the messenger.
No, you're more than a messenger, you're an agent.
You're an agent with an agenda, and it's time you were exposed.
Uh just they it's not a two-way street with them.
They want to be insulated from the same analysis and examination that uh that they engage in with other people.
Quick timeout, we'll be right back.
And welcome back.
We have an audio sound by a couple of them here, actually.
The first audio soundbite is from uh uh dingy Harry on the Senate floor today.
What's the United States Senate going to debate this week?
A new energy policy?
No.
Will we debate the raging war in Iraq?
No.
Will we address our staggering national debt?
No.
Will we address the seriousness of global warming?
No.
Will we address the aging of America?
No.
Will we address America's education dilemma?
No.
What's that?
Will we address the rising crime statistics?
No.
Will we debate our country's trade imbalance?
No.
Will we debate stem cell research?
No.
But what we will spend most of the week on is a constitutional amendment that will fail by a large margin.
A constitutional amendment on same-sex marriage.
When do they debate any of that other stuff anyway?
What have they been debating and doing anything about other stuff anyway?
As I said earlier, folks, the fact that they're going to spend time on something that they think is wasteful is just time they can't do any harm.
Yesterday on Meet the Press, Joe Biden basically the same line.
This is the Democrats' uh talking point response, I'm sure.
Uh Russert said the president used his radio address yesterday and tomorrow in the Rose Guard to talk about a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
What do you think of that, Senator Biden?
You know, think about this.
The world's going to Hades in a handbasket.
We are desperately concerned about the circumstance relating to uh avian flu.
We don't have enough vaccines.
We don't have enough police officers, and we're going to debate the next three weeks, I'm told.
Gay marriage, a flag amendment, and God only knows what else.
I can't believe the American people can't see through this.
We already have a law.
We've all voted.
Not where I've voted, another said, look, marriage is between a man and a woman, and states must respect that.
Nobody's violated that law.
There's been no challenge to that law.
Why do we need a constitutional amendment?
Now, why are the Democrats so upset about this?
I mean, what what what is the really?
If it doesn't have a chance, why are they so upset about it?
I'll tell you why they're upset about it.
It's because conservatism is back on the agenda and they lose.
They lose when conservatism is on the agenda.
When the Republican Party starts talking conservatism, starts acting conservative, uh, they lose.
Uh and and uh man, Biden is wrong about this anyway.
Look at look at Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, and and look at uh look at the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, uh, which which uh made the legislature pass a same-sex marriage law, and they went against the Defense of Marriage Act at a sub in a subsequent time.
Uh so he's simply wrong about it, but you know, the world's going to Hades in a handbasket, and we're desperately concerned about the circumstances relating to avian fluid.
Again, the notion that these guys can stop any of these things he listed anyway, is uh what what he's sadly mistaken about.
Natalie in Aubrey, Texas.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I just wanted to state a comment about the uh lawyer with the abortion problem.
Yeah.
Um, as a woman and as a professional, I'm angered and disgusted.
This woman who's 43 cannot take responsibility for her own actions.
I'm 32, I work.
I have three children and I go to graduate school.
And I don't forget something that we quote as protecting myself and my family against quote unquote mistakes.
It just really disgusts me that there are people like this out there.
Uh yeah, they get all self-righteous about it in the process.
Bush's problem, though, that she didn't use her diaphragm, see?
Makes me even angrier, the fact that she's going to blame the President of the United States for her irresponsibility.
Give me a break.
Well, what do liberals do?
Have you if you do you live in a town where there's a liberal newspaper?
Oh, well, I I go to Texas Woman's University in Denton.
I don't think you get much more liberal than that.
But you know, honestly.
Well, then read the letters to the editor.
You read the reason why.
You will be you will be stunned.
You don't even need to get an internet and go to a blog.
Read the letters to the editor of any major or minor American newspaper.
And you will not believe it.
You will think that you are in the twilight zone every day with what these people and everything is Bush.
Everything that's wrong in the country is Bush.
It doesn't matter.
The crocodile problem in Florida is Bush's problem because he doesn't care about global warming.
It's hilarious and preposterous.
Preposterous at the same time.
It's a good thing we got a break here, folks, because I gotta go back in just a second.
Well, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellences in the can, ladies and gentlemen.
Show prep for the rest of the media has been done.
We'll be back uh tomorrow and do it all over, fully revved up.
