Time Text
Cookie, where are those Bush sound bites?
I've been promising them to the audience for four.
Oh.
Well, in five minutes or so, maybe maybe ten.
Good.
Because they are.
They the the speech the president gave to the troops today on his way out of Baghdad was awesome.
Hi, ladies and gentlemen, greetings and welcome back.
Great to have you, the EIB network, and El Rushbo serving humanity as America's real anchor man.
Here are the heavily fortified, securely bunkered EIB Southern Command, 800 282-2882, if uh you would like to be on the program.
We had a call from a drive-by minister.
Uh drive-by caller is one who uh can't stay on the phone.
Minister called and said that liberal uh that called where was he from Michigan, I think he called and said that uh Lansing, Michigan, said that I was mean-spirited and nasty.
It was Kirk, yeah, Kirk from Lansing, Michigan.
He said I was mean-spirited and Nancy, uh mean-spirited and and nasty because I supported Gino's decision in Philadelphia and his signs saying if you don't speak English, don't come in here, you gotta order in English.
Otherwise, go somewhere else.
Uh and he called up as a liberal, and he was he was uh saying that we should all follow the example of Jesus.
And he's saying that Jesus traveled a Middle East with interpreters and whatever else to speak any language he ran up against.
Because the point was to spread the gospel of Jesus.
Well, uh the drive-by pastor said there was only one language in Jesus' day in his time, uh, and that was Aramaic, so there were there wasn't a need for translators and uh interpreters, and uh and so forth.
So I just wanted to uh to pass that on.
Tipper Gore.
Tipper Gore says she's ready to support another White House run, but her husband says, well, I don't think I'm gonna run.
But of course he is.
Uh Tipper said she doesn't think about what might have been.
Uh if he were going to run in the future, of course I'd support him.
Uh Tippers told uh ABC News Claire Shipman in her first television interview in about four years.
I think he'd be a fantastic president.
Uh he already got a majority of votes of people in this country once, and so that says something.
Oh, folks, I if only.
If only this were to happen.
Oh, get Gore and Carey and Hillary in there in the primaries with uh what are whatever other wannabes want to throw their hats in a ring.
It that would be more fun than we can even imagine.
Uh Stephen Hawking, the renowned astrophysicist from the University of Cambridge, was in Hong Kong and he spoke there.
And they told a news conference that humans are gonna have to figure out how to build and find new homes elsewhere in the universe, because there's an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy the earth.
Uh he told a news conference uh in Hong Kong and humans could have a permanent base on the moon in 20 years and a colony on Mars in the next 40 years.
He said we won't find anywhere as nice as Earth unless we go to another star system.
Uh he added that if humans can avoid killing themselves in the next hundred years, they should have space settlements that can continue without support from Earth.
He said it is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survival of the species.
Life on Earth is uh ever increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or other dangers that we have not yet thought of.
K. Okay.
Okay.
Uh Stephen Hawking.
Um, yeah.
Right.
I I I know, I know in the 1800s, talking about going into outer space was greeted skeptically and colonizing the planets, uh treated skeptically today.
I'm I'm not skeptical of that.
I'm I'm I'm not skeptical of why we come on, snurdly, you know me.
I'm from I'm the can-do guy.
I'm I'm probably the one guy in this audience who never falters from the idea that we can do it.
Whatever it is, that we can thrive, survive, and overcome.
But to put it in the context of we have no choice, because we're going to get wiped out.
I mean, it's just one crisis after another.
I'll bet you in 1800s they thought we were going to get wiped out when they first saw something that they had never seen before.
Um it's hard to go against Stephen Hawking.
What's his IQ?
500.
Um, just maybe I'm a little sensitive to this because this seems to fall in line with the doomsayers and the crisis mongers in the American political system.
And the last thing we saw, Stephen Hawking, is he with Stephen Hawking said.
Yeah, I did.
I reported it, I saw it.
All right.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, I want to go back to the war in Iraq and uh and other things here in in in preparation here for praying playing the president's uh sound bites from his speech today.
First, a column in the Los Angeles Times today by David Lubin, and I don't I guess he's just one of their, he's maybe a regular or a contributor.
Uh but the whole point of the piece is we shouldn't have killed Abu Moussaab al-Zarqawi.
We shouldn't have done that.
Because we robbed the Iraqis of their chance of to deal with Zarkawi in a court.
What we did was stand a rule of law on its head.
Uh it's we there's just something disturbing he writes about targeted killing when capture is possible.
He says, let's say that John Allen Mohammed, the Washington area sniper.
We'd be outraged if the police simply blew up the house and everybody in it.
Everybody knows that the police shouldn't act as Muhammad's judge, jury, and executioner, and no one would accept the explanation of collateral damage for the death of the other people in the house.
Ruby Ridge and Waco were disasters, not victories.
We also weren't at war for crying out loud.
This is not a police action.
Mike, grab the parody.
Grab the latest George Soros parody.
I mean, these guys, we keep doing parodies, we keep making jokes about them, and the left invariably makes our jokes accurate as it relates to them.
Is that thing ready to go?
Okay, we've just had this piece in the LA Times.
We shouldn't have killed Zarkai.
Why why we went in there, we blew him away, we robbed the Iraqis of the rule of law, but listen to our parody on this.
I mean, we parody these people.
We come up with the most outrageous parodies we can find, and they end up echoing us when they are serious.
dropped a bomb on me.
On the one hand, the job is fun, more fun than it's ever been.
On the other hand, it's getting harder and harder in some areas to do.
Back in just a second, folks.
Oh, look at this.
They're doing our story up there, Snerdley on uh on CNN.
These uh these protesters that took over this guy's property out in California and LA.
Uh Daryl Hannah chained herself to a tree or something like that.
Protesters trying to prevent eviction of farmers and supporters.
They're illegal immigrants for crying out loud, and they've taken over a guy, aren't they?
Newly arrived.
That's right.
They're called newly arrived in this story.
Oh, we did an update on this uh last week.
We will update uh uh the story in the in the next half hour of the program.
We're ready to roll here on uh on I know that I mean it's funny.
Uh uh Daryl Hannah joins protest refusing to leave a tree.
And they got they got a guy up in a crane in a basket trying to get Daryl Hannah out of the tree.
And look at look at she.
They got a chainsaw.
They're actually gonna chainsaw her out of the tree.
All right.
Hubba Hubba.
We'll have details on her plunge from the tree as uh as it uh as it happens.
By the way, I want to thank Cookie for getting these sound bites done so quickly.
Just an awesome job In uh in turnaround.
Uh superb job up there, Kathleen.
Love you, babe.
Uh, we got a great email here from a subscriber at Rush Limbaugh.com reacting to uh to uh uh Gore's thousand messengers out there.
He says, you know, George Bush 41 got ridiculed for his thousand points of light.
Here Gore's got a thousand points of doom out there.
And everybody is singing his praises.
Al Gore's thousand points of doom.
All right, Bush thanks the troops and their families and tells them they're making history.
This is in Baghdad.
He left Baghdad about a half hour ago.
This took place about an hour ago, and the video was just released.
We have uh, I think five sound bites.
Here's number one.
I thank you all very much for your service to our country.
Your sacrifice is noble, and your sacrifice is important.
I understand uh long deployments are tough.
They're tough on you and they're tough on your families.
Well, the first thing I want to tell you is the American people are incredibly grateful for what you do, and I bring their greetings and their thanks for the sacrifices you and your family make.
The mission that you're accomplishing here in Iraq will go down in the history books as an incredibly important moment in the history of freedom and peace.
An incredibly important moment of doing our duty to secure our homeland.
This is President Bush speaking to the troops uh in Baghdad.
Here's soundbite number two.
I vowed that day after September the 11th to do everything I could to protect the American people, and I was able to make that claim because I knew there were people such as yourself who are willing to be on the front line in the war on terror.
Baghdad and Iraq is a front in the war on terror.
It is a part of our mission to help make sure that the world is a better place.
I truly believe the work that you're doing here is laying the foundation of peace for generations to come.
And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The progress here in Iraq has been remarkable when you really think about it.
And thanks to the United States forces and coalition forces, the people are liberated from the clutches of Saddam Hussein.
Just really well.
We cut the applause in the interest of brevity, brevity being the soul of wit, saith Shakespeare.
Uh but this is a heartfelt uh really substantive and solid address to the troops in uh in Baghdad today.
By the way, I uh ladies and gentlemen, I need to apologize or admit a mistake.
Uh and I don't want to wait till the end of this.
I've got to do this now.
Uh I made mention or we had a caller, a pastor who said that uh uh there was only one language uh back in the days of Jesus, and that it was uh Aramaic.
Uh and I need to apologize and admit uh that I was wrong about the Aramaic thing.
Uh all the theologians know, and I I I don't know this slip my mind.
All the theologians know, and they agree that uh Jesus spoke Spanish.
There's gonna be tough days ahead and more sacrifice for Americans as well as Iraqis.
But I come here, come away from here believing that the will is strong, and the desire to meet the needs of the people is is real and tangible.
One of the things that we've got to realize is that Iraqi women want their children to grow up in a peaceful world.
They want their sons and daughters to be well educated, they want to live in peace and harmony.
It's a common desire, and is one that you all are helping the Iraqis realize.
It's important.
It's vital work, and it's historic work.
Our military will stay on the offense.
We will continue to hunt down people like Mr. Zarqawi and bring them to justice.
So they cannot...
Thank you.
President then continued.
But it's necessary work, and the government of the United States stands strongly beside you.
The stakes are high.
And what happens here in Iraq reaches far beyond the borders of Iraq.
The war on terror really is uh will be addressed by strong actions by our intelligence and military services to bring to justice those who would do us harm.
I've told the American people we will defeat the enemy overseas, so we do not have to face them here at home.
And here comes right up, right up.
Rado Rado.
Now Bush in the final bite, uh this is where he thanks them.
This touching, I think he even got a little teary-od himself.
What you're doing is historic in nature.
People will look back at this period and wonder whether or not America was true to its beginnings, whether we strongly believed in the universality of freedom and whether we were willing to act on it.
Certainly we acted in our own self-interest right after September the eleventh.
And now we act not only in our own self-interests, but in the interests of men, women, and children in the broader Middle East, no matter what their religion, no matter where they were born, no matter how they speak.
This is a moment this is a time where where the world can turn one way or the other.
Where the world can be a better place or a more dangerous place.
And the United States of America, and citizens such as yourself are dedicated to making sure that the world we leave behind is a better place for all.
It is such an honor to be here.
And he continued uh telling them must have told them three or four more times uh what an honor it was to be there.
Uh and as I watched it, I I was uh convinced that I saw a little tear uh and got the sense he was uh he was choking up.
Uh Jennifer San Marcos, Texas.
Thank you for waiting.
You're on the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Um, you know, you were talking about him being emotional at the end, but I tuned it in as soon as he said he was on there, tuned the TV on, and he was emotional the whole time that I saw him.
Um he had the look on his face when he's trying to break up.
You could tell he was very emotional about being there with him.
I know uh it he was feeling like I felt yesterday.
I saw an airman at at the store yesterday and walk up to say thank you to him.
That's all I could say.
I had to walk away.
I started crying.
And I could tell he was feeling the same way I felt yesterday when I met that airman.
He he I think he was just so odd and honored to be in their presence.
And then whenever they would applaud something he said, he was touched even more.
It wasn't just the end.
It was it seemed like the whole time I was watching he was I I think you might be right, because uh when I one of the reasons I I wanted Cookie to roll some of these bites off is because the the president's demeanor and his appearance as well as his words uh was very sincere and very sober.
Right.
Uh he was it was it was he was deadly serious about all this.
And uh I I would I would expect nothing less.
He's the man who sends them there.
Exactly.
And uh he's amongst them uh in the belly's beast.
Right.
Uh uh the beast's belly, and he's uh uh had to be overcome uh with the job that they're doing and the odds that they face, and he's he's aware of the criticism that he and they get uh daily and it that he's aware that they're aware of it as too as well.
So I I thought it was I thought it was just extremely poignant.
It was wonderful.
It was so touchy.
I started crying just watching him.
It it was wonderful.
And I know it's two days in a row you cried because you cried in the story.
It wasn't a Walmart, by the way.
No, unfortunately, no, it wasn't a Walmart, it was a load.
He was he was looking at ceiling fans, and I started wondering if he is he getting a feeling fan to go somewhere where it's hot.
I mean, I started wondering that.
When I first saw him, he was look I was looking at him, trying to decide do I want to go talk to him because I'm I'm not real good about that, but I thought you were.
Well, you could have fooled me.
Next time, next time, Jennifer, go up and talk to the guy, because you're um you're exceptionally good at it uh at expressing your feelings, and I'll guarantee you uh if you do it next time or any time, they will appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Gotta take a quick time out.
We'll be back and continue in just a Second.
Talent Honlone from God.
Back to the phones we go.
This is uh Sue in Boone, North Carolina.
Hi, Sue, nice to have you with us.
Hey, Raj.
Nice to talk to you.
You bet.
I heard this sort of, I thought was convoluted speculation that maybe that Zarkawi was outed by his by Al Qaeda because they were upset with him because he was killing so many Iraqi citizens.
I I've heard they've been all kinds of wacko theories going around.
One theory was that uh, and this is Tom Haydn's, that Zerkawe was actually a CIA agent.
Uh that he was one of our guys.
I just wondered if it was they were that the press was trying to, you know, undermine Hell yes.
The press will engage and in and uh encourage and investigate any wacko theory that can make it look like Bush's policy is worthless uh and wasteful.
Uh in addition to the theory that bin Laden wanted Zarkawi taken out because he was uh an embarrassment, that he was um uh uh too extreme in the jihad.
I mean, that's a joke.
Too extreme in the jihad.
There's no such thing as extremism in jihad.
Jihad is extremism.
All of it is.
There was a there was another theory going around that uh that bin Laden wanted Zarkawi taken out uh, or at least didn't mind Zarkawi being taken out because now bin Laden has one less competitor in the uh on the Al-Qaeda stage.
It's all BS.
Uh it's just like this uh LA Times columnist today, writing that this is a horrible travesty of justice.
Why we denied the Iraqis their right to do with them what they wanted according to their law.
Blah blah blah, blah, blah.
Don't listen to any of it, Sue.
I mean, it is what it is.
Oftentimes the most simple explanation is the right one.
Some people just can't believe it's something simple as the explanation, though.
Something this large, it has to be something big out of my control, something I couldn't stop.
Uh it's it's just it's all BS.
All right, CNN has not left this story.
CNN still has their cameras trained on a tree in which Darrell Hannah is sitting, occupying the tree on behalf of the newly arrived who are garden farmers in this plot of land.
Now, this to demonstrate to you how we are on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
What is this?
June 13th, a week ago.
One week ago, I did the morning update on this story.
So as a means of of uh bringing you up to speed and getting the story in context for you.
Let me repeat the morning update.
This will tell you what this is all about.
Then we'll tell you what's happening today.
In the 1980s, uh Los Angeles, using eminent domains, seized 14 acres owned by a developer named Ralph Horowitz, and they they paid him four point eight million dollars for these fourteen acres.
The city of Los Angeles didn't plan to build a trash incinerator on these fourteen acres.
It fell through uh when the largely African American neighborhood objected and said we don't want a trash incinerator in a neighborhood.
So the city of Los Angeles turned the property over to the regional food bank.
Yes, the regional food bank, which then allowed people to set up plots on the 14 acres for gardens.
Well, in 2003, Ralph Horowitz sued the city to get his property back, and he did get it back after paying five million dollars for it, which is a couple hundred thousand more than he had been paid uh back in the nineteen eighties.
Now he wants it's his property now.
It's not the food banks, it's not the city's, it's his.
And now he wants to put a large warehouse on the site.
But there's a problem.
There are 350 garden plots on it as remnants of when the food bank ran the property.
And if if if they're not going to let him put a large warehouse on the site, he is demanding sixteen million dollars for his property to once again sell it.
It is twenty years later.
Well, that decision has set off a confrontation between the gardeners.
Now, who are these three hundred and fifty people?
Who are these people that are that are that are gardening these 350 plots?
Well, in the news, they are described as newly arrived Hispanics.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, they are illegal aliens.
But they are described in the news as newly arrived Hispanics.
So the gardeners, the newly arrived Hispanics, the developer, uh, and busybody Hollywood celebrities are now in a battle over keeping these 14 acres for the newly arrived Hispanics so they can run their gardens.
The gardeners, the newly arrived Hispanics, went to court to fight eviction from the 14 acre property.
And they lost.
A fundraiser did not generate enough money in order to buy the property so the newly arrived Hispanics could continue to plot their gardens.
So Hollywood elites are now taking up the cause, and that's how Daryl Hanna ends up from a mermaid into a tree occupier in the image of Julia Butterfly Hill.
Danny Glover, well known social activist, showed up, and he told the newly arrived Hispanic gardeners to stay put, and then he left.
Darryl Hanna, Joan Baez, well known communist sympathizer, Martin Sheen, and Ed Begley Jr. showed up.
He showed up on his bicycle.
After they showed up, they left.
A bunch of environmentalist wackos have taken up uh encampments.
They're now camping out to show solidarity and support with the newly arrived Hispanic gardeners.
The newly arrived Hispanic gardeners are vowing to ignore the eviction order.
So that's where we are today.
Then the Hollywood types.
They could alleviate the situation.
There's only 350, in the maximum 350 of these newly arrived Hispanic farmers.
I mean, that's how many plots, I don't know how many people, but whatever, even if it's even it's 700.
These Hollywood types could invite the newly arrived Hispanics to set up gardens on their big plantation properties.
Estates, whatever.
But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
They're not gonna do that.
Or the newly arrived Hispanics could simply be presented a gift of sixteen million dollars.
Let the Hollywood elites do a fundraiser among themselves.
What would it take to raise sixteen million bucks?
Maybe five minutes if they really cared.
Instead, oh no, not doing anything in that.
Instead, the newly arrived uh Hispanic gardeners are being urged to break the law by well-known Hollywood elites who show up and then leave.
Which gives us a perfect lesson in compassion.
Hollywood elites helping the little guy by urging them to continue to break the law.
So they're not leaving.
Mr. Horowitz has been patient.
The city has been patient, but finally the straw that broke the camel's back has been broken, and that is Daryl Hannah up on a tree, refusing to leave.
Dozens of sheriff's deputies began evicting the newly arrived gardeners of Hispanic gardeners from the 14-acre urban garden early today as protesters chained themselves to barrels of concrete, and others, including the actress Daryl Hannah, secured themselves in a large walnut tree.
Daryl Hanna went up there with her cell phone, said, I'm very confident this is the morally right thing to do to take a principled stand in solidarity with the newly arrived Hispanic farmers.
Asked if she was willing to risk arrest, she said, I'm planning on holding my position.
Well, they're up there with chainsaws now.
About 350 people grow produce and flowers on the privately owned land in a gritty inner city area surrounded by warehouses and uh and train tracks.
Uh County Sheriff's Sergeant Val Rosario said about 65 deputies from the civil management unit, along with a support staff, including riot forces, showed up around daybreak Tuesday to serve an eviction order that a judge signed last month.
It's a massive show of force, said environmentalist wacko John Quigley Quigley, who was in the...
It's what it says, John Quigley Quigley.
Like, I'm Rush Limbaugh Limbaugh.
He was in the walnut tree along with Daryl Hannah, was uh John Quigley Quigley.
He said our goal is to hold as firm as we can, obviously in a nonviolent manner.
Well, that's gonna be tough to hold on once the chainsaws complete their work.
Deputies used saws to cut down the chain link fence around the site.
Inside they saw it through the chains used by some protesters uh to attach themselves to large barrels of concrete.
John Quigley Quigley said that he could see sparks flying as they worked and complained that authorities had removed legal observers from inside the farm.
John Quigley Quigley said it's really an unsafe situation.
No legal observers in here.
Basically we need legal observers in here to guarantee people's safety.
Several dozen protesters gathered outside the area sporadically chanting, we're here and we're not gonna leave in Spanish and blowing uh whistles.
Uh some flooded onto a street and disrupted truck traffic in the um in the area.
The cops are not illegal, uh, John Quigley Quigley.
Um they are cops are the legal observers.
If you if you need some legal observers, how do you how do you get more legal as an observer than a cop or a bunch of cops?
So that's that's what's happening out there, and CNN's found this fascinating.
They just left coverage.
Uh but they've been going at it.
So yeah, now Fox is on it.
Tag team out there.
CNN drops it, Fox picks it up.
I wanted you to be informed as to what's going on because the news reports, after the first one calling them newly arrived Hispanics, not not that's they they're just referred to as people and gardeners.
They are illegals, ladies and gentlemen, but you won't see that in any written account.
I don't know what they're saying about this on a tube.
It'd be right back.
And we're back on the cutting edge, L Rush Ball behind this.
A golden EIB microphone.
I didn't damage a meter in there, did it, uh Brian?
Good.
Uh Mike in Baltimore, you're next.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hey, Rosh.
Quite ironically, Daryl Hannah's father was a real estate tycoon who left Daryl quite well off.
She could buy that piece of property with her lunch money if she wanted to.
Yes, of course.
Well, I don't know about that.
She doesn't eat, does she?
I don't know, but she's she's quite quite well off.
Well, but that's not I you're that's an excellent point, but we all know that's not what this is about.
But but wouldn't she have a lot of pride in her heart to give sixteen million dollars to those third, three hundred Mexicans?
Uh uh well, it's not her to do.
See, that nobody.
Those those people are supposed to have it just because they want it and they're poor.
And and and they're and they're illegal immigrants, and and it's just not right.
This is a country with vast wealth and vast resources.
And who's to say we shouldn't give these poor slobs that have no future?
They got nothing to do.
All they've got is our little gardens for crying out loud.
They're just God's children.
They probably believe in Jesus.
And they're being denied the opportunity here to just plot their tiny little gardens.
It's just mean spirited of America.
Come on.
I don't know.
Maybe she's hard up for attention because it seems it would be seen easier just to buy it.
Uh it's not it's not it's not about that.
This isn't this is an opportunity for social activism.
This is the tamp for Daryl Henna to tell him how much he cares, along with uh Danny Glover and Martin Fien, and all the other new castrati, they show they're better people than you are, Mike.
C. T. U. It just comes down to dollars.
It always comes down to dollars, but with them, it's about death theft.
Felthill death death.
And you diff don't have the heart to understand it.
Uh who's next on this show?
This is Kathy in uh Walnut uh Walnut Port, Pennsylvania.
Welcome, uh, Kathy to the EIB network.
No rush, though.
It's an honor.
Thank you.
Uh if if you don't mind, I just want to go back to Gino's for a minute.
Yeah, go right ahead.
Uh the Associated Press article that I read said nothing about Spanish.
And I'm just wondering if they're saying that restaurant owners need to have someone available on all shifts that speak all languages, all languages, so that for example, if I want to go into Gino's and order a cheesesteak at midnight and say Cantonese, that I should be able to do that.
And in that case, uh, I submit that we would not be able to afford to pay for cheesesteaks anymore, and that the government would then have to subsidize the cheesesteaks.
No one would be able to afford them.
So I I'm just wondering.
And and you know, the the other thing if I could mention that the the difference, you know, they're saying that it's you know, it it's uh it's racism.
But uh you know, the difference between race, ethnicity, and language is choice.
You know, they're choosing not to learn the language of our country.
And therefore, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to choose as a private business to not serve them.
You know, you have no choice about your race, you have no choice about your ethnicity.
See that the language you speak.
Yeah, that that is the mean and nasty view.
Um absolutely excellent points.
I've got the story here since you said that.
Let me scan it very briefly.
Yeah, it doesn't sing I'm a Spanish.
It just says everyone's just assuming that.
Right.
City's commission well, are we wrong?
Absolutely not.
Uh the city's commission on human relations plan to argue a policy at Geno's stakes discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there, said Rachel Lawton.
She said the violation is of the city's fair practices ordinance which prohibits discrimination in employment, public accommodation, and housing.
So I guess this would fall under the public accommodation.
Right.
Uh clause.
Well, he doesn't say they can't point to the food they want, I guess.
I don't I I just don't understand how it falls under race and ethnicity, which is I believe what her next line was an interesting point.
It's a cheesestake place.
Uh I'll have the chicken strips.
What what else it just how hard would it be?
Exactly.
Just just go just go in there and just put up a number of fingers.
I want one, two, three.
Hold up the number thirteen if you want Swiss cheese.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And thank you.
Thank you for the first time.
All right, thank you, Kathy.
Um I'm I'm glad you called.
We got time for one more here before the break.
Annandale, Maryland.
Hello, Stephen, you're up.
Hey Rush.
Uh I want to were forced to listen to ABC News updates during the breaks.
And uh during one, uh someone was interviewing a National Guardsman new newly deployed on the southern border.
And they asked him how he how he liked being there, and he responded by saying that he wished he was back in Iraq, that he missed the adrenaline rush.
So first you got Zercali and now this is another bad day for the mainstream media.
It's not a good day for that's true.
It is a rotten day.
Uh it's been a rotten four or five days for the um uh for the drive-by media to go down.
How do you feel about being here?
I'm sure they weren't expecting I'd rather be in a rock.
Thank you for that, Stephen.
Back in a second to close it out to wrap it up, and to put the exclamation point on it.
Earlier we played a soundbite of Senator Schumer, upset at Patrick Fitzgerald demanding Fitzgerald issue a written report on his charging decisions because the Democrats are upset out of whack over Rove not being indicted in the plane escapade.
Victoria Tensen called here and said he's uh advocating Fitzgerald to break the law.
Grand jury proceedings are not public, the government can't release them.
We got rid of the Indy Council statute and let it lapse precisely because the Democrats didn't like the report that Ken Starr wrote.
Afterwards.
Schumer is interfering with a federal investigation.
As a senator, he has no constitutional role to demand a special prosecutor do anything.
Maybe the Senate Ethics Committee should investigate Schumer here, folks.
The purpose of his press conference was to try to influence the investigation.
He runs the Democrat senatorial campaign committee.
He's using a criminal investigation for political purposes.
He's the one who needs to be investigated for this and a couple of other things.
Have a great day.
