Rattle rattle rado.
Back we are.
On a great day in the United States of America.
Great day in Iraq.
A great day to be an American, as they all are great days to be an American.
Rush Limboard Distinctly American radio talk show at the top of the heap on the EIB network.
Well, looking forward to talking to you in the final hour of our excursion into broadcast excellence today.
800 282-2882 is the number if you would like to be on the program.
Look at this.
Our old friends at uh Reuters.
The United States has not yet identified anyone eligible to receive the $25 million bounty offered for information leading to the death of uh Abu Mousab al Zarkawi.
State Department made this official today.
Means that Reuters probably been calling all over the place.
Who got the 25 mil?
No U.S. government agencies nominated anybody for the reward, the largest the U.S. offers, along with the same amount for Al-Qaeda chief bin Laden.
Zarkawi's death was announced today after war plans killed.
So who got the reward?
This is this is a sneak attack.
Try to f you know get the uh government to admit who it was that was the informant here.
What makes this silly is, of course, the news that we already have that it was somebody inside Zerkawi's organization, that there were some uh uh what do you traitors in his midst.
Uh there's some his organization was falling apart, apparently, some people getting scared that they were losing over there.
And so this is a triumph of uh of all kinds of intelligence.
And in fact, if you're just tuning in, let me uh let me share with you some of the uh uh information I passed on at the early part of the uh of the program because I did some deep digging today and and talked to some people who have uh extensive knowledge of the intelligence that was used.
Um this is uh most of it's it's not classified, uh, but I cannot and you people will understand it.
I I cannot uh reveal uh my sources on this, but it's people very close to intelligence.
Uh the main the main aspect of it is that the uh the detainee uh reporting played a role in all this, meaning people that are being held prisoner somewhere, be it uh Abu Ghraib or uh Club Gitmo, wherever they are, apparently that was uh uh pretty big part of the intelligence gathering operation.
There was a tremendous amount of cooperation between the Iraqis, the Jordanians, and a CIA targeting team.
As you know, the Jordanians were miffed because uh uh Jordan released Zarkawi from prison only to see twenty innocents of their own killed in Amman.
So uh uh they were loaded for bear on this.
Iraqis played a part in it, and the CIA targeting team uh working between their partners in the region, putting together this information came up pretty big.
Uh so there was a huge collaborative and cooperative effort here, which also points out that uh we're this not uh a uh loan operator in the uh in the world, that there is an effective coalition full of countries and entities uh that are cooperating.
Also, it was it was said to me on the phone this morning that the uh that that April 25th video was Zarkawi's out there, you know, doing his bin Laden impersonation and firing a gun in the air, and he clearly looked like he didn't know what he was doing with it.
There were two versions of that tape, and the drive-by media showed the edited version, which did not show Zarkawi incompetent with the gun.
The whole version, uh, which was available because somehow it got they suddenly screwed up and put the whole thing up on a bird, and the uh he had an assistant had to come in and show him how to use the gun.
And so um anyway, it's it's it really a triumph.
So the idea that we're gonna identify who's gonna get the 25 million dollars is is ridiculous.
Uh and I don't know what I don't know what the the point of uh Reuters story is, either to identify it or to point out the United States lies and promises 25 million dollars, but it's not going to pay up.
Uh but I guarantee you it's uh it it's not something intended to uh to be helpful.
So already Uh chasing down the money trail.
All right, let me go to the phones here quickly of hurt somebody's feelings out there, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't want to wait any longer in uh in repairing the damage.
Jenny in Sunset Hills, Missouri, who's back for an encore performance from yesterday.
Welcome back, Jenny.
Great to have you back.
Let me refresh people's because some people might have heard your call yesterday.
There was a story, uh, ladies and gentlemen, some some outfit had gone out and done a study and they had concluded that uh teenage girls today are at great risk of being uh pressured into having sex.
And I, of course, uh uh read the details of the story, did not want to get into too much personal testimony on this, but at the end of the story I said it's basically this is caca.
And uh Jenny here called to get mad at me for saying it was caca because it isn't caca, that it's a it's it's a it's a big problem.
So we had a discussion about it, and uh so she's back.
Why are you back?
Well, because you know, uh during our conversation you you told me how much you like my name, and you know, I thought that was very nice.
It certainly made me feel good that you like my name so much.
You said it was had it always been one of your favorite names.
So then I'm listening today, and you were talking to Cynthia from St. Louis, and you asked her if she knew Jessica from Sunset Hills.
Oh no.
I mean, I'm I'm the one you talked to from Sunset Hills.
That's right.
And you said you really like my name, and I thought what's the big idea?
You know.
I just called you back to tell you that um you you called me Jessica instead of Jenny.
And I've been you are you are right.
It's sort of like forgetting our anniversary.
Exactly.
And you know you're in big trouble now.
I don't I don't know what can be done, but at least I thought I should call you back and remind you that it was Jenny that you really liked, not Jessica.
You know, you're you're yeah, so I I can't explain.
It was uh it was it was a slip of the tongue.
It was and uh I I have uh d I'm terribly sorry for it because what I told you yesterday is true.
I do I d I do love the name Jenny.
What's this about a lecture?
Oh, you said Brooke.
No, I said considering you are a broadcast expert, I I was I was just kind of shocked that you would make such a grievous error.
Well, I can understand that.
Um after hearing uh me tell you uh in front of the country, in front of the whole nation how much I love your name yesterday to call you Jessica today would be you're probably wondering if I meant it yesterday now.
I know.
Well, I'm beginning to get over it, but um I um I asked somebody, you also kind of asked where Sunset Hills was, and I said it was like South St. Louis only West.
And I asked somebody uh, is that the correct way to describe where I live in?
They they suggested I s I revise it to say I am from Southwest St. Louis County.
Okay.
Maybe that sounds better.
Well, no, I'm I I can say it in a way that makes you comfortable.
If it's South St. Louis, only West makes you comfortable, then say it.
Well, it did.
Southwest, because, you know, I have husband experience, and the one thing I've learned is that I'm never right.
Oh, well, you actually were right about the point that we were talking about.
I I tell you, you've done it.
And they said that I am completely uninformed when it comes to the um sexual uh proclivities of girls these days.
Teenage girls.
Well, we had a good call on that.
Yeah, a guy got guy called and said, you know, there's a difference between force and pressure.
Uh and he was right.
And the story was talking about civil relationships where the girls say they're pressured.
Uh well, I mean, Jenny, you know the truth about all this is one of the things that I I should have uh risen to the occasion yesterday to make this point.
Because there's literally nothing new in that in that story.
Really?
It's been it's been that way since Adam and Eve.
Huh.
Well, I mean, that it don't I mean th that's it's that's the story of men and women.
It's it's it's it's it's called nature.
It's genetically programmed in there, and it and it's uh to to do a story about how in the uh in uh the early two thousands uh there's this phenomenon of uh high school boys pressuring girls to have sex.
It's absurd because it's it's it's been the way of the world.
If it weren't that way, there wouldn't be babies.
Well, I I figured I must be wrong and I probably shouldn't have called anyway because after talk I mean during our conversation you made it clear how much you experience you had with this subject which is clearly much more than mine and so I figured well you must know.
Well you've you know Jenny, this is amazing because uh uh look look at what's happened here.
Yesterday I I tell you what I think about something uh and you don't believe me.
After the call, you go talk you'd have to be a good thing.
No, after the call, you go out and talk to somebody else who tells you that I was right, and then after somebody else tells you that I was right, then you think it was right.
But when I tell you I'm right, I'm not right.
That is husband-wife syndrome.
No, no, no, no.
Actually, I'm not sure.
Well, yeah, the husband's never right, and the wife is never right on the other.
I mean, it's it th it's it's just the way things kids think the parents are never right either.
No, see if we had had more time to talk, you remember our you had to hang up on me.
If we had had more time to talk, you would have been able to convince me that you were right because I I took it the wrong way in the first place.
You were dug in though.
You were steadfast in your opposition.
I I didn't I don't I didn't think there was a lot of people.
Well, I had to stick with my point or I'd look like an idiot.
But you know, then I realized I wasn't really responding to what you were really actually saying.
Well, that's because you're nervous.
I've been a caller too, and you you're you're so focused on what you want to say that sometimes you don't hear everything that's said in in reply.
I understand all that.
Right.
And I'm saying it to you on the air.
So I appreciate that.
This is very big of you.
No, it takes a big person to call up a national radio program and admit they were wrong, even after having their feelings hurt because you were misnamed today, even after having your name praised yesterday.
Either a big person or a real screwball.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh Jenny.
Yes.
In the future.
Let me give you a help.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, in the future, just a little helpful hint here.
Okay.
Don't doubt me.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
I I will give that a whirl.
Have a great day in Southwest St. Louis County.
Bye.
Thanks for calling back.
See you in a moment, folks.
Stay with us.
This is a great, great tune and a bumper rotation until Cindy Lauper starts singing, which you will not hear on this program.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll pardon me for just a moment.
I have uh I've called Jenny and Sunset Hills back.
Uh Jenny, are you there?
Yes, I am.
You know, Jenny, I uh I uh I I feel very bad.
I I do.
I mean it was it was a terrible thing to do to mispronounce your name or to get the name wrong.
Uh and w I want to offer you uh a gift.
Great.
I don't want to offer I want to offer you a select comfort bed uh and uh we'll uh figure out you know when we hang up, stay on hold, and we'll get you in touch with somebody to pick out what size you want and so forth.
I'm dead serious about it.
There's no pressure to use the bed, Jenny.
Don't misunderstand here.
I just but I want to give you I w I want to I want I w I want to give you the bed.
I r I really do.
I I do this.
I I have the I have to do it.
Why?
Because I feel bad about it.
It's it was you're you it was terrible to get your name wrong.
I mean it it was just a s might have just been a slip of the tongue, but I didn't I don't I I don't want you thinking I didn't mean it yesterday when I told you I love the name Jenny.
Well naturally I wondered.
Well it's uh it was a terrible football, but I just I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna send you one of these beds so it's I can't even believe this.
This is just great.
I I'm so excited.
Well, it they're they're really terrific.
They really use it.
Good I'm gonna use it.
Go for it.
Uh I am.
It is in its it's a tremendous bed.
It's uh it's it's everything and more that uh that's a good one.
Well, this is my lucky day.
Um I don't want you to feel pressured here.
Because I'm doing this on the air and it's public, it's national.
Don't feel pressure to take it here, Jenny.
I mean if if if if it if if you don't feel like you have to do something you don't want to do just to please my No.
Um girls when offered gifts, um, they never hesitate.
You know, I mean anything else you want to give me?
But believe me, I mean if there was anything else, I'd be glad to do that.
Well let's just let's just let's just start with the bed.
Okay, okay.
So as as a token token of my appreciation for your good uh naturedness on this and your and your your uh understanding your high spiritedness.
Well, y I am thrilled.
I'm thrilled.
Terrific.
Well you hang on and we'll get uh this whole process started of getting you a select comfort bed so that you, Jenny, can discover your sleep number.
Mine is 75.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, uh one other thing.
I keep getting emails.
This makes me think we're gonna have to redo this uh Allen Brothers stakes commercial because people I keep what is the what is the uh email what or what is the website?
It's it's W Ww dot AB stakes.
Some people think it's AB meats, some it's W W dot ABstakes uh dot com for Allen Brothers, and uh by the way, for those I know not everybody eats bacon, but if you do, you have not seen nor tasted anything like Allen Brothers bacon.
This stuff's over a quarter inch thick, you need a knife and fork for it.
Yeah, you Yes, I had some of that this morning.
I had I I had breakfast here at the studio today, and I had uh I had some of it and two slices, and I'm telling you it's that's like a pack of stuff that you'd get at the grocery store.
Okay, Marty in Washington, D.C., I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Rush, how are you doing?
Good sir.
Thanks for not hitting that dope button.
That was so very refreshing.
Um hey, I appreciate the insight you've given from the benefit of the sources you have in the administration.
Uh I'm sure you're right about that primary source being uh sort of hit being that captured guy.
I mean, I'm an ex I'm ecstatic.
I don't care.
No, I don't know there was primary.
I don't know.
I think primary was somebody involved with Zarkawi still with him.
But all I was saying is that that that's somebody that that is um uh in a in a detainee circumstance played a role as well.
Oh, okay.
Maybe more than one, I don't know.
Yeah.
But I just want to say that I I thought it was significant what uh Dan Sr. said on Fox this morning.
You know, he's that coalition spokesman.
He said in February 2005, you said we got 400 tips from Iraqi citizens in the Sunni Triangle in February 2006.
The year later, we got 4,000.
So I think the Iraqi citizens are getting on board and abandoning abandoning Al Qaeda, and and I think, you know, Senior called it momentum.
I I think he's right.
Well, I do too, and I think this is one of the frustrating things for the administration.
This has been going on for quite some time, and it is this this momentum signifies victory.
You can see pictures, and I have one here of an Iraqi woman who's been given a pistol to fire in the air in celebration uh uh for the death of Zarkawi.
Um there's their there are a lot of people that do not like these uh terrorists insurgents running around hiding in their homes and hiding behind their women and children, hiding in their mosques and so forth.
And the idea that the Iraqis are teamed up with these insurgents and that uh they're all on the same page has been ridiculous assertion from the get-go.
So I didn't hear Dan Senor say that, but uh if I mean he wouldn't that that's obviously documented provable for 400 to 4,000 tips.
So you're doing a great job.
I appreciate it.
Thank thank you.
Thank thanks very much.
Um days like this, it is more uh than uh fun.
This is Rita in Phoenix.
Rita, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
It's great to talk to you.
Rita, you know, your Rita is is one of my all-time favorite names.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Are you gonna forget it tomorrow?
I'll probably call you Rena tomorrow.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that my husband is in in human intelligence.
He's been in it for his whole career.
And I am thrilled today about this Darkawi um bombing.
And I'm sure all intelligence spouses are, we don't get to hear much about what they do.
You probably don't either.
You probably don't get to hear much from your husband either, right?
Oh no, no, I never hear much of anything.
And and usually when I ask him something, he just walks away.
Well, it's a lonely, it's a lonely existence for those people.
They never get to share their successes with anybody.
They never get to have a party other than their co-workers, maybe.
You can really see the stress and the um con um concentration on their face even at when they're at home and and you know, away from work.
It really is uh uh hard job to do.
But um what I wanted to tell you is I did ask my husband one time when it was on the news, you know, if we um I'm sorry, if we um what is it called?
He has an interrogate, he does debriefing.
And um I wanted to know if we torture, if we really torture people like the news was saying.
And he says they absolutely do not in his organization because it does not work.
Well, you know, I had a story.
Um I'm glad you reminded me of this because there were new guidelines that somebody tried to issue after this Hadith thing broke, you know, all this new cultural sensitivity values training and so forth.
Uh and and one of the things that there somebody's trying to strike from the manual is uh attacking a uh captive's manhood as just too hurtful.
Uh more on that in a moment.
Stay with me.
Why, is that ever red is exactly what happens on this program.
Real life.
Not a false reality.
Speaking of a false reality.
I have a couple of more instances of how the drive-by media, in conjunction with the Democratic Party, I'm sorry, Democrat Party, is attempting to convince themselves that what happened on Tuesday didn't happen.
First, the Los Angeles Times.
Whether fatigued or angry, California voters have too much to decide.
As usual, the most resounding vote on Tuesday came from those who didn't bother.
About three-fourths of registered voters sat this one out.
Many of them undoubtedly were Republicans, members of smaller parties or members of no party at all, who saw little at stake in a primary dominated by Democrats battling each other.
This is this is absolutely absurd.
Most of them are a lot of them Republicans, probably so, but the key here is a bunch of Democrats didn't show up either, and it was a Democrat-oriented election in California, and we were all told Democrats were seething to vote.
Sifting through all the results, reports the LA Times editorial, we're not sure what to make of them beyond extolling the wisdom of those voters who agreed with us and lamenting the foolhardiness of those who didn't.
We can hope that the defeat of Prop 82, the preschool tax initiative, heralds the end of California's flirtation with ballot box budgeting.
We have to acknowledge, though, especially given the defeat of Prop 81, the library bond issue, as well as the defeat of all eight ballot measures in the last election, that when voters reject an initiative or bond, it's not necessarily about the particular measure so much as a rejection of politics and politicians in general.
Yeah, but just too much to decide.
It was just too tough.
An election with Democrat issues and mostly Democrat candidates on the ballot.
It's just too much to decide out there.
Democracy is tough for the U.S., the common people.
But we the elites, we the elites at the LA Times, we can sit here and uh and uh and and judge this.
And of course, the meathead proposition, Prop 82, why that was not defeated on the merits.
No way.
No, no, no.
We just people are just fed up in general with politicians.
So you see, nobody rejects liberalism because they don't like liberalism.
They reject it because they're just tired of politicians.
They're tired of politics.
They're just tired.
If that were the case LA Times, they wouldn't bother showing up.
Of those that did care to show up, sixty percent wanted no part of it.
It was precisely because it was on the merits, because there's si even in in California, there have to be significant number of people fed up with tax increases, especially those sponsored by elite, wealthy Hollywood leftists who want everybody else's money to be spent on their pet issues.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, that's not true, Mr. Limon.
No, no, no, no.
Well, it wasn't defeated on the merits.
It was just defeated because people are worn out.
Now the Associated Press, the Los Angeles AP writer Juliet Williams.
Voters rejected two feel-good measures that once appeared to be easy sells in Democrat leading California, perhaps showing their dislike of tax increases and concern about the faltering economy.
Oh, yeah, that that's why uh the meathead proposition went down, Juliet.
Yeah, the faltering economy.
Right.
What is another attempt to say it had nothing to do with the substance of the of the issue.
The headline here, voter fatigue, spending jitters could explain initiative's defeat.
Voter fatigue.
When was the last election?
Voter fatigue is people Tired of voting or just fed up with politicians.
So the same theory in the LA Times editorial and an AP story, same theory abounds.
It wasn't the substance of this stuff.
People are just tired.
The economy, they're not really voting this stuff down in the merits.
That's not.
So they continue to lie to themselves about why they lose.
Oh, that's the main point.
Bob in Grass Valley, California.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
It's uh ironic, you know, that the whole world is uh over overjoiced about this uh the deck death of Al Al Zakari, you know, his his emir in uh the the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq said that uh it was joyous news.
The only people that aren't happy about it, it seems is the uh American left.
Isn't that ironic?
Now we could just get we could just get uh uh the other guy to commit suicide, uh then everybody would be happy again except for the left.
The other guy bin Laden, meaning well, we've got to be very careful.
The left has not expressed their unhappiness yet.
They'll happen.
That will happen.
Right now, they're doing their best.
We got to give them a gold star for effort here, because they're doing their best to sound like they're really happy.
And that but you notice they can't bring themselves to praise the troops.
They can praise a successful mission and so forth, but as far as statements celebrating the talent and the training and the commitment of the U.S. military, you won't hear it from them.
That'll kill them with their cook base.
So they're they're they're we we know that throughout much of the lift and throughout some in the Democratic Party.
There is damn it.
Damn it!
Damn it.
We were on a roll.
We had the house back, we had the White House back.
Ha!
And they do a Howard Dean scream.
Uh it won't be long.
So I saw I made a prediction here at the beginning of the program.
Uh won't be long before somebody out there in the drive by me, somebody in the left somewhere, raises the specter of, I wonder if any of these informants that told us where Zarkawi was was tortured.
That's what they can't let go.
Remember, the focus of evil in this conflict is the United States and the United States military and its commander in chief George W. Bush.
And that has not changed today.
Just because they're cowies dead does not mean they have they've got one lens, they have one template, they have one prism through which they look at this whole Iraq story, and that is we gotta lose this, we gotta defeat Bush.
This is a political story to them.
It's not about a legitimate war, war on terror.
And so this is a bad move, bad event for them uh politically.
I want to before we go to the next break and grab more of your phone calls.
I want to go back to the UN story.
Uh it turns out that uh late yesterday afternoon, a bunch of networks tried to reach me to ask me to appear on their various programs, and I didn't learn about that uh till this morning.
I doubt that I would have done any of them because I was I had fun scheduled last night, and I would have opted for that even had I uh had I known.
Uh but now the the uh spokesman for Kofi Annan has come out and defended Mark Malik Brown.
Let's go back.
These are the remarks that got all of this started from Mark Malik Brown, the deputy attorney general or deputy secretary general of the uh so-called United Nations.
Much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors, such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.
That is what I meant by stealth diplomacy.
The UN's role is if if in fact a secret in Middle America, even as it is highlighted in the Middle East and other parts of the world.
I don't even think this guy listens to the program.
I don't think Mark Malik Brown's ever listened to the pro I you know what I think happens.
I think these libs all get together and and Fox News and I get cursed.
And Mark Malik Brown will hear that, and it just it just assume that uh what he's hearing about this program is true.
I don't think he's ever listened to it.
I'd be stunned if he has.
Yesterday, John Bolton uh turned up the heat and demanded an apology for this from Kofi Annan.
The only way at this point to mitigate the damage to the United Nations is that uh Secretary General Kofi Annan, we think has to personally and publicly repudiate this speech at the earliest possible opportunity.
Because otherwise I fear the consequences, not just for the reform effort, but for the organization as a whole.
I spoke to the Secretary General this morning.
I said, I've known you since 1989, and I'm telling you this is the worst mistake by a senior UN official that I've seen in that entire time.
Uh I that'd be hard to categorize, uh categorize the largest mistake by a UN official, senior UN official since 1989, uh criticizing me and Fox News.
Bolton's point was a criticism of the American people.
And what the United Nations, what Malik Brown was saying is U.S. government needs to end engage in a PR campaign to defend the UN against guys like Limbaugh and Fox News.
And uh and and Bolton uh, you know, it's out there defending uh Limbaugh and Fox News, not by my name, defending the American people by name.
But uh Kofi Annan uh had uh had an answer for John Bolton, and it was no, I will not apologize.
The uh Secretary General stands by uh the statement made by his uh by his deputy Mark Malik Brown, and he agrees with the thrust of it.
Uh so there is no question of any action being taken against uh the Deputy Secretary General.
I'm I'll bet you Kofi Annan has listened to this program, and I'll bet you he doesn't like what he's heard.
If he hasn't listened to it, he's heard about it.
It's on this program we've accused him of throwing his own son Kojo under the bus in the oil for food program or overboard or whatever it was.
We have spared no criticism in uh discussing the uh corruption at the highest levels of the UN, and he's probably indeed heard about that.
Uh at uh 7 30 last night on CNN, their UN correspondent Richard Roth uh reported that uh uh Mark Malik Brown digging in and said it's time for some truths to be told here.
Malik Brown does say it's time for some truths to be told.
Bolton insists Malik Brown has no business as an international civil servant commenting on Middle America.
We're awaiting comment from Rush Limbaugh's camp, as for reaction, Fox News referred us to their on air reports on the story.
Okay.
What is it about what's so difficult for these people to access my on air comments?
I got a website.
Everything I said about this, everything I would say to them were I to appear with them uh is is on the website.
Now, I'm sure they'd like to have at me with questions and so forth, but uh why can't they use what I said yesterday?
Why can't they use what I said yesterday?
What did I say?
What would prevent them from saying what I said yesterday about the United Nations?
No, no, that the the the no, they wouldn't think it's too harsh.
Who would they care what I say?
They're out there trying to say that Mark Malik Brown probably has a point anyway, and the more uh uh uh in their minds uh uh extreme uh my comments, the better.
But they're okay, Snerdley is saying there's no way they would air what I said because it would nail the UN.
Is that what okay?
All right.
Well, uh Richard, I'm sorry I didn't know you guys were trying to reach me until uh until this morning, but in the future, I mean it's www.rushlimbaugh.com and it's it's up and updated, uh, reflecting the contents of each day's program by 6 p.m. at the latest.
There's audio up here.
Everything that the the it that you need if you can't find me.
One more thing about this Mark Malik Brown uh excuse me.
One more thing about this Mark Malik Brown uh fiasco.
Uh Mark Malik Brown made those comments about Fox News and me uh while speaking at the was a think tank Center for American Progress.
Now the Center for American Progress is a think tank started by John Podesta, the former Bill Clinton chief of staff.
It is a think tank funded by George Soros.
And we have uh just learned, as is watching Fox News, uh I have just learned that Mark Malik Brown rents a home, his home in New York, uh, from George Soros for 120,000 uh a year.
Uh And uh efforts are still being made.
Capitol Hill Norm Coleman's trying to get uh Kofi Annan to sit on Mark Malik Brown, but they're they're digging in deep up there at the UN and this hey, you need to listen to these comments that Malik Brown made in the spirit, the context of which they were intended.
And we we are, and we think this is uh outra.
I frankly don't think it's that outrageous.
I I think they're making a mountain out of a notehill molehill, but uh regardless.
Um it was a very partisan group.
The guy's obviously a huge lib, worldwide lib, worldwide socialist elitist, probably, Mark Malik Brown from the UK.
Uh, with these deep ties to Soros.
That that explains why I would get thrown in the mix.
The Clinton people are obsessed with me, and with Podesta being up there, and uh and they're obsessed with Fox News.
So that that explains how it happened.
Reading, Pennsylvania.
Joe, glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Uh hello, Rush.
Happy Alvar Calrie Day.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Uh, I wanted you to know I'm very ecstatic about this.
I lost my son over in Iraq.
He was uh member of the 82nd Airborne Division.
His name was Sergeant A. J. Baddock.
Uh this is just great for all the soldiers that you know lost their lives.
I I want to extend my condolences to Nicholas Berg's parents, um, and all of all of the families that lost someone at the hands of this idiot.
Uh to me, this is the icing on the cake, and uh when we get Osama bin Laden that'll be the cherry.
Yeah, uh there's I don't have any doubt that that'll happen uh at at some point.
And totally agree.
Almost as excited to see the left wing reaction to that as for the event itself.
Um I can imagine how this makes you feel happy.
What when did when did you lose your son?
Uh September, the end of September 2003.
He uh actually my son drowned rescuing he had rescued one soldier from a Hum V in a canal and went in for the second one, and uh him and the driver both drowned.
They were sucked under a culvert beneath a road.
Um my son's buried in Arlington.
Wow.
I I I um every time I we uh get a call from a parent who lost a son or a daughter over there, I I just it brings this even more into perspective for me, and I I didn't think I was capable of having it in more perspective, but it just drives it home all the more.
I'm um I'm glad you called, and I'm I'm uh happy you're feeling the way you are today.
I think it's well uh well deserved.
Well, my hope is that one day all you know, we can all say that uh all of us that lost someone, we can all say that, you know, we our sons and daughters had a hand in uh in uh and restoring uh you know.
Well, I know it's tough because even though your son's gone, you still listen to the uh uh attacks on on the U.S. military by other Americans, and it's gotta be maddening and frustrating at the same time.
Oh, absolutely.
I just you know their heads just aren't in the right place.
It you know, you just have to accept, you know, accept them for what they are.
Um but for as many as uh you know there are like that, there's there's just that many more.
I was down in Washington over Memorial Day for uh Rolling Thunder, and it was just it was like being in heaven with all the veterans and talking to them and all the people that that really know what m America's all about.
It was wonderful.
Glad you got to go.
Thanks, uh thanks for the call, Joe.
I appreciate it very much.
Okay, Rush, take care.
You bet we'll uh take a brief time out, come back and close it out.
Uh I think I may have time squeezing with a call in perhaps too, so stay with us.
Okay, Tom in Kennewick, Georgia.
We have exactly one minute.
You're up.
Yeah, Russ, I just wanted to say that my sister's gonna be deployed in November, and I'm not gonna fool myself into a false sense of security with our cow being gone, but you know, for her and for all the other military up there, I know that it's gonna be a lot uh a lot more safer than it was yesterday, especially with the fact that people and his own party are turning on him.
Well, I think actually uh uh I mean I I don't want to fill you with false hopes, but I think this today is not the starting point of a new momentum, and this is a result of a lot of momentum that preceded this.
Uh obviously, we've been having all kinds of intelligence success long before this day, in order to successfully accomplish this mission.
Um that's still a dangerous place, and and I you know, anything that makes feel better about this uh circumstance is is welcome, I'm certain.
So uh but you're both to be blessed as she's volunteering to go.
That's that's that's more than 99.9% of the rest of the country would include me, uh, what I had the chance would do.
So our hats off.
And we have to go, folks, but we'll be back open line Friday tomorrow.
