Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yes, yes, I know.
It's time to go, and I'm here, and we're underway.
We've started.
So greetings, my friends.
And welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the most listened to radio talk show in America, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
If you want to be on the program today, the number to call 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIB net.com.
Well, big news out of the state of Florida.
The Florida Supreme Court today has thr has rejected a 145 billion dollar verdict against big tobacco for injuring smokers.
It had been the largest such award ever by an American jury.
And uh a number of the lawyers in that case got fees of like 200 to 400 million dollars.
Uh I I don't know what's going to happen to all that.
The uh the justices of the Florida Supreme Court approved an appellate court ruling that it had been a mistake to certify a class action lawsuit uh representing an estimated 300,000 to 700,000 ill Floridians that resulted in the huge jury award for punitive damages in 2000.
This is a sort of a modified version of tort reform uh accountability from within the system, the Florida Supreme Court saying, what a joke.
Class action, 700,000 people, warnings all over the cigarette packs.
What are we talking about here?
145.
As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is uh is uh flirting around 85 to 90 points up today uh with tobacco stocks uh screeching northward.
Uh so and I just you know I've I've got no brief for big tobacco.
I just when people are ganged up on by a bunch of uh uh people and and uh at root in all this, folks, is that what grates on me is that the root of all this is that nobody has any responsibility for what they do.
And for the last how many years is it 40 years now, you cannot mistake that cigarettes are said to be dangerous.
You can't you cannot have missed it.
Even if you are a mall rat, even if all you do is hang out in bowling alleys, you cannot miss the fact.
And yet people were awarded all this money in a class action suit because uh big tobacco lied to them and so forth.
I mean it's so this is um this is a this is a verdict at least for personal uh responsibility.
And I want to congratulate my buddies at 24.
They lead the Emmy nomination list this year.
24 led all series with 12 nominations.
And I love those guys.
I've gotten to I've gotten to know them very well.
They're tremendous, tremendous people that produce and wrong uh this program.
Uh Keefer Sutherland uh got nominated as long as uh along with uh Greg Itsen, and uh let's say Gene Smart from the from the from the cast.
Uh Gray's Anatomy was second with 11 nominations, so we'll see the Yummies when are they?
August 27th.
But uh congratulations to everybody involved in 24.
That's just that's uh that's tremendous.
Uh big story in the news today.
U.S. about to have 300 million Americans.
This will be keep a sharp eye, portrayed as an upcoming crisis, uh, ladies and gentlemen, and it will provide an opportunity for drive-by media types to go out and find sociologists and planners to suggest there's too much sprawl, there's too much traffic, we need to be living in high rises in little boxes.
Uh all driving mass transit.
Just keep a sharp eye on this.
And as I warned you yesterday, I think the oil price, what is it, still hovering around $75?
Um, keep a sharp eye on this.
I have a prediction for you.
And the prediction is that before long, the Democrats will once again say, you know, we've we've come up with our agenda here.
And you we will find that they will have uh they can't downplay the war because they've got too much invested in that with their base.
But I uh I am here to predict to you, uh ladies and gentlemen, that uh the next crisis that the Democrats talk about will be the affordability crisis, that nobody can afford to live in this country anymore except people like Ken La Oh.
Have you did you see this Washington Post piece on Ken Lay today?
Oh, you've got I the my friends, let me just share some excerpts of this with you.
Not even Saddam Hussein or Abu Mousab Al-Zarkawi have gotten the kind of treatment that Ken Lay got today or gets today in the uh in the Washington Post.
I guess they have this style section there, and they've got an essayist who writes in the styles, I guess it's a style section.
His name is Henry Allen.
Uh, and the piece is headlined Ken Lay's last evasion to some CEO is cheating them one more time.
I told you yesterday when this program opened that they were all in a tizzy in the left because they wanted to see this guy suffer.
And they don't think death is punishment enough.
Of course let me tell you why that is, because the left doesn't believe in God, and so there's no punishment after death as far as they're concerned.
If they don't meet out the punishment, then Lay gets away with it.
I didn't say Democrats don't believe in God.
Now don't start flooding me with emails, you people haven't listened closely.
I'm saying the American left, the worldwide left, basically an atheist bunch.
Uh upset that he doesn't get punished.
We don't know what's going to happen after uh after his death.
Well, the left certainly thinks there is nothing left.
At any rate, I sidetracked myself.
Here are some excerpts.
Ah, Kenneth Leigh of Enron, America hardly knew you before your trial, but learned after your big hammer jury conviction that you had left countless suckers broke, employees cheated, and stockholders betrayed.
There were also the electricity customers swindled along the lines of Mr. and Mrs. Front Porch USA, who wanted to leave a night light on without sending Enron their whole social security checks for the privilege.
Many people had looked forward to knowing more about Ken Lay, especially how he liked prison.
Now that he's died of a heart attack and the luxury of his Colorado getaway, while awaiting sentencing for his crimes, none of his victims will be able to contemplate that he's locked away at a place that makes the Baltimore Harbor tunnel look like Hawaii, that he might be spending long nights locked in a cell with a panting, tattooed monster named Sumo, a man of strange and constant demands.
Here's the guy hoping, regretting, lamenting the fact that Lay will not be in jail, being raped by some insane gay maniac in his jail cell.
And now that he's dead, uh none of his victims will be able to contemplate uh the the long days in the prison laundry or the jute mill or license plate factory gibbering with anguish as fire-eyed psychopaths stare at him for unblinking hours while they sharpen spoons into jailhouse stilettos.
He'll not be around to be ground into gray jailhouse paste by listening to the eardrum scarring symphony of the musak of the penitentiaries, by gagging on the dead prisoner, by choking on the deader food, by watching the blue sky taunt him with freedom over the exercise yard,
and by feeling his nervous system rent by the cruel grenades of memories, explosions of nostalgia for the days when he knew he'd be swanning forever through the comfy laps and the cool lawns of luxury and infinite possibility, sweet gulf streams through sweet skies, the pools, the jewels, the Mybach limousines, a life in which he didn't just pimp his ride, he pimped the entire world as he knew it.
Actually, some folks who got the news, the particularly enlightened and civilized ones are glad they won't have to know that Ken Lay is gonna go through these agonies.
They may even reflect that if they'd known him personally, they would have known a wonderful father, a husband, a friend.
Isn't that what people always say about people like Ken Lay?
And shouldn't people always try to think the best of everyone?
Yeah, they should, but so many people may well have responded to the news of Lay's untimely death by feeling cheated by saying that death wasn't good enough for him, by sensing a frustrated craving for revenge burning in their backbrains like a fire in a tire dump.
Is it possible that a micron below the surface of our liberal and enlightened beliefs lurks savagery?
Was the French Enlightenment wrong about our essential goodness and were the medieval churchmen right about our innate depravity?
That's why some of us are disappointed to know the death of Ken Lay, depraved as we may be, what we really hoped was that the crimes of his supersized sort might bring him just a little chee.
Uh so he asks the question is it possible that there lurks just a you know micron below the surface of their enlightened beliefs, a little savagery.
I told you people the other day, these are just mean people.
Think of the I mean, Zarkawi died the other day, and we got almost puff piece profiles of his quest and of his desires and of his dreams.
Saddam is a sympathetic figure in much of the drive-by media.
Ken Lay in death is savaged because he cheated the left out of Shaden Freud.
The left wanted to marvel and wonder and and enjoy thoroughly.
His total punishment, his total misery, for not once thinking how much has he already gone through, how much did he already go through, and what does he face after his death?
Of course, that's as I say, something they don't actively consider in the American left.
All right, a quick timeout here, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait.
Just got this.
Just got this.
Kim Jong il, uh little potbellied uh dog eating dictator, North Korea has issued a statement.
All right, we're back.
800 282-2882.
Rush Limbaugh talent on loan from God.
And as I told you yesterday, but I'm not going to claim any credit for making a brilliant prediction because any idiot could have predicted this.
A headline says it all.
UN fails to agree on North Korea.
Really?
Why is it even news?
How does it even generate as many words as it mentions here?
South Korea media, nevertheless, meanwhile reporting that uh Kim Jong-il has three or four more missiles on the launch pads.
Uh Japan said there was no sign that the communist state was planning another immediate launch of a long-range rocket.
But uh one of South Korea's largest newspapers said the missiles at the North were preparing were either shorter medium range.
Paper cited an unidentified senior South Korean official, another major newspaper, the Jung Ang Ilbo carried a similar uh report.
There is a possibility the North Korea will fire additional missiles, said the Yon Hamp news agency, uh quoting uh the South Korean defense minister Yoon Kwang Ung as uh telling lawmakers.
Well, uh, since they failed at the UN, there was a press conference there today, and uh John Bolton spoke to the press, unidentified reporter, said how important in the entire resolution package is the element of sanctions in the U.S., and is that something that may be expendable in the perhaps greater interest of a unanimous resolution?
Well, why don't you tell me what your real diplomatic strategy is and what you're prepared to concede during the course of the negotiations and what your real bottom line is, and and so it's a very good question.
And I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to know the answer to it, but uh uh you know, we we think that it's important to have a strong signal.
I don't really want to get into the specifics at the moment.
That's why they hate this guy.
Did you hear it?
Well, why don't you tell me what your real diplomatic strategy?
He's basically telling the press here he's not gonna negotiate, we're not gonna negotiate unilaterally.
President said the same thing.
President said there's not gonna be direct talks with these little people.
Uh these people.
I'm not, I'm not gonna mess around with them.
Uh they rejected direct talks with North Korea.
President Bush said that uh Kim Jong-il had isolated himself from the rest of the world.
Why should we go out of our way to talk to this guy?
We're not gonna do it.
Um wants legitimacy, wants to be uh he's acting like a spoiled child.
We're not gonna treat him like a child.
He runs a dictatorship, imprisons people, uh, and other things, and now starting to launch missiles at people.
We're not we're not gonna legitimize this.
Uh the uh Chinese, I guess the president called uh Hung Jun Tao.
Um, and in the president of China, and uh Jintao said, No, no, no, no, no, no, no sanctions, don't do any it would destabilize the regime, destabilize the Korean peninsula.
They're already in bad economic shape.
You'll just make it even worse if you do that.
The Japanese are flustered.
The Japanese are going, screw it.
If the UN is not going to do anything, and if there's not going to be any sanctions, we want missile defense.
Yes.
All Right.
That's the solution to these kinds of things.
You got to deal with this.
You know, the aggressors set the rules, folks.
And this is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
It always has been and it always will be.
Then uh unidentified female uh reporter at Infobabe uh said a number of ambassadors said that the uh the goal is to get back to the six-point talks.
Doesn't launching these missiles herd their way into the six-point talks.
I don't think that uh launching missiles is a way to engage in conversation.
And uh uh so in that sense, if that was the motivation of the North Koreans, it has failed uh badly.
Note the thought process of the of the media.
We've got to talk to him.
We gotta talk, you just can't sit there and not talk.
How about the six-point talks?
Do you think now that these fire missiles it will encourage the six-point talks, meaning six nations?
Uh, for those of you in uh in Rio Linda.
I love this Bolton guy.
Bolton guy says, well, launching missiles not a good way to engage in conversation.
Let's move on to uh uh uh Madeline Albright.
Uh uh and her ever-present partner, Wendy Sherman, who has all over TV yesterday and today.
Wendy Sherman, former ambassador, North Korea, or to Korea, so I guess wherever.
Uh one of the Koreas under the Clinton administration, now a principal and partner with Madeline Albright in Albright's uh business, uh the Albright group, uh LLC, Limited Liability Corporation.
So uh last night on Larry King Alive, uh Madeline Albright showed up, and uh uh Larry King said, Madam Albright I thought I was the only one that called her that.
Madam Albright, what do you read into this?
I think that uh it's important actually not to make fun of them uh for the fact that their typo dong, this one failed, because that just kind of eggs them on.
So I think we have to realize what a truly uh dangerous situation this is and how important it is to get diplomacy properly engaged at this time.
I'm not kidding.
It's what she said.
Now, at the risk of being accused of being a sexist, this is why you don't want women in these circumstances.
I mean, I mean, to sit there, liberal woman anyway, to sit here and suggest it's let's not make fun of them for the typodong that failed because that just kind of eggs them on.
Who are these people let me tell you what's going on here.
I let me explain Madeline Albright to you.
She's got partners in this group, Madeline uh Albright group LLC.
Some of the partners are Carol Browner and Wendy Sherman and James O'Brien.
And uh she has overhead.
This is a business.
Madeline Albright has overhead.
She has rent, she has electricity, she has phones, she has cosmetics.
You gotta pay for that.
Um she wants to earn enough money to earn a good living and pay her principals a decent salary, a percentage of the deal, whatever they're getting.
She wants business.
She needs more business.
And one of her credentials is her triumphant quote unquote negotiation with North Korea.
Should that negotiation be shown to be an embarrassment or a failure?
Should the should it ever firmly be established that during the Clinton administration is when North Korea was r was able to nuke up weapons-wise.
Does that help or hurt Madame Albright's business, ladies and gentlemen?
So the next time, and you're gonna hear three more examples of it in the next segment here, but the next time that you hear Madame Albright talk about North Korea, or any time you see Wendy Sherman out there, or anybody else from Albright's group talking about North Korea, just remember, follow the money.
They have to continue to present the united front that only they did things right with uh with uh North Korea.
Wendy Sherman on TV today blaming Bush's dad in his presidency for North Korea being the way it is now.
Back in a moment.
And as usual, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
We are here.
The Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
All right, we're gonna go back.
We've got we've got three more Madeline Albrights and one Joe Biden, and I'm just gonna start with Madeline Albright again here.
Uh bite you just heard just to keep these uh in sequence.
Last night, Larry King alive.
Uh uh Larry said, uh, Madam Albright, what do you read into this uh North Korea uh missile launch?
I think that uh it's important actually not to make fun of them uh for the fact that they're typo dong, this one failed, because that just kind of eggs them on.
So I think we have to realize what a truly uh dangerous situation this is and how important it is to get diplomacy properly engaged at this time.
Uh I again I have to repeat this.
She's running a business now, folks.
She's got this this this Albright group, and her big claim to fame, uh aside from being Secretary of State was uh that she and only she had a relationship with uh Kim Jung ill.
And that uh when when when the Clinton administration was in there, the the the uh North Koreans didn't do anything.
All they did was uh uh use nuclear power.
They didn't do anything.
It was Bush 41 and Bush 43 that were lax because they didn't talk to them and and and and it just uh alienated them.
And so Madden Albright relies on this myth that the Clinton administration and her specifically, along with her principal Wendy Sherman, are the only ones that have been able to work with this wacko and keep him from launching his missiles and nuking up weapon-wise.
Uh if it is ever shown that that is a myth and not true, then there goes Albright Group, LLC, down the tubes.
She's gotta she's a business, she's gotta raise money, she's gotta pay the rent, she's gotta pay phones, she's gotta pay copy machines, she's gotta pay for the internet, she's got to pay for her cosmetics.
Uh she wants business, she wants more business.
She's trying to do what Kissinger did when he left government.
He set up a group called the Kissinger Group, and and entities, companies, countries, nationwide, worldwide were paying him a minimum of a million or two million dollars for consultancy and advice how the global situation was going to be.
She's trying to do the same thing here.
Uh and if her big claim to fame is ever, you know, shown to be uh bogus, then there goes the Albright group LLC.
Now she got her friends and buddies in the drive-by media.
They continue to prop her up.
But that is why you've seen Wendy Sherman, who was one of her principals and a former ambassador in the Clinton administration out there basically saying the same thing.
It was Wendy Sherman, I think on Fox News today, who um who said uh uh that let's see, well, here I'm a little version here of what it happened.
She said that uh not only Bush 43, but Bush 41 are exclusively responsible for everything that's gone wrong with North Korea.
Bill Clinton had no responsibility for any of this because Clinton and Madame Albright and Wendy Sherman made personally certain that no plutonium was created during their term in office.
The North Koreans didn't do any plutonium enrichment whatsoever when the Clintons were there.
It all happened during Bush 41 and Bush 43.
This is just obviously outrageously untrue.
Uh so just follow the money when you see these people continually on television.
Um she's stoking a business.
Follow the money, folks.
Now we move on.
We shouldn't call, she says, Kim Jong il names, and we shouldn't make fun of them because they can't get a missile up in the air for longer than 30 seconds.
Yesterday on the early show, the anchor Harry Smith talking to Senator Biden, uh, who you remember last week said that he didn't care that much about being president.
He'd rather be at home making love to his wife while his kids were asleep.
Uh his youngest kid's 25 uh years old, but uh nevertheless.
The question from Harry Smith was it's been suggested it was written that this rocket's been sitting on the pad now for some time.
The U.S. should have blown the thing up as it was that was there being fueled up.
What do you think about that?
I would rather have seen it do exactly what it did.
Demonstrate to the whole world that it is in fact a paper tiger.
It does not have the capacity to do any gr uh short-term damage to the United States of America or Japan.
Well, Joe Biden just violated Madame Albright's rule, just to call him a paper tiger, not supposed to make fun of them, not supposed to call them names, and now he's out there calling them a paper tiger.
Now back to Albright, Larry King alive.
Secretary Albright, you met with Kim Jong-il for some time back in 2000.
You were the first Secretary of State to visit North Korea.
He likes all our movies.
He watches CNN.
Would you do an interview on this program because if we'd have him?
You never know.
He might.
You know, he wanted me to email with him.
I think the thing that's interesting, Larry, is I do not believe that he's crazy.
I know a lot of people have said that.
I don't think so.
I think he is isolated and he operates within a relatively closed information system of people around him who tell him what he wants to hear.
No, he's not crazy.
All right.
Fine.
Um I guess crazy is a relative term.
Uh and if you happen to be an American leftist, uh you might have all kinds of this is uh str uh the former Secretary of State.
Yeah, he wanted to email me.
No, know how we humanize these guys.
We have just in the Washington Post, I just shared with you this uh scathing effort to destroy whatever reputation Lloyd Lay had, and it was it was seething and it was mad and it was mean.
Kim Jong-il, he, you know, he he had suggestions for Oscar nominations, and he he watch a CNN and and he he watches our movies and uh and King, you think he'd come on this show if you asked him to appear, Mattel?
You think you'd come on this show?
So this uh uh this effort here to humanize and soften the image of uh enemies, wackos, and truly dangerous people is uh sight to behold here in the dominant media, the drive-by media.
Now here Larry King final question.
Madam Albright, what do you think of the current diplomacy?
People think of diplomacy as a game of chess.
I don't think that works.
It's really more like a game of pool billiards, and we're having a perfect example of that now, where all these balls are on the table, they're hitting each other, and we are getting all kinds of unintended consequences from, frankly, I think the war in Iraq, which has sent the wrong message both to Iran and to North Korea.
Oh my god.
That if you don't have nuclear weapons, you get invaded, and if you do have nuclear weapons, you don't get invaded.
Well, that's uh gets becoming a mantra of hers.
Uh she would honestly have the dolts and the dunces that watch these shows believe that the only reason that we invaded Iraq was because they didn't have nukes.
We have not invaded Iran, they don't have their nukes yet.
We haven't invaded North Korea, and we're still unsure what exactly it is they've got.
We do not invade people simply because they don't have nukes.
We we we we don't invade we liberate for crying out loud.
What is it about these people that makes them unable to see the truth and the greatness of American exceptionalism?
Why is it they constantly reject it?
This analogy that this is more like a pool table and a game of billiards, and this is all in disarray because uh we went into a rock.
This is why, folks, you cannot trust these people uh with with the national security of this country.
In fact, there's uh another story, and I've I've got it here in the uh in the stack.
It has been discovered Al-Qaeda contacts from uh Afghanistan prior to 9-11 with Saddam Hussein and Iraq.
It's becoming clear that Iraq was not isolated, Iraq was not at all independent from all these other terrorist organizations, not saying they hadn't do it 9-11, don't jump to any conclusions here, but the idea that uh Iraq somehow was an island uh and was not involved at all with what many of its neighboring nations were involved in.
Uh ridiculous, especially since Saddam is trying to set himself up as the one guy in the Arab world who was going to stand up to the United States.
That would that would be magnetic to um a bunch of malcontents who wish us harm.
All right, now that was Larry King alive.
Well, what else did CNN do uh yesterday?
Well, grab cut three, Mr. Broadcast Engineer, because last night on Anderson Cooper 360, they dragged out Dan Rather.
Because Dan Rather was once in North Korea, and they wanted to get the perspective of what it's like in there.
So uh Anderson Cooper said, Dan, what what was it like when you first arrived in North Korea?
It's a robotage twilight zone, otherworldly in more ways than I can recount.
There is this eerie quality of everybody being programmed.
An example would be you come out in the morning, mind you, you don't go anywhere without uh your controllers.
That's what they call themselves.
Government people who go everywhere with you.
If you say good morning to someone, they're very polite, and they will smile and say, uh, yes, our maximum leader uh told us this morning on the radio that it was going to be a beautiful day.
And you know what, sir?
It is a beautiful day.
Hour after hour, day after day, there's an unsettling quality to that.
All right, all right.
I've heard that same description of North Korea.
Now Now, keep all that in mind as you listen to these next bites and try to balance it what we heard from uh Madam Albright.
Guy's not crazy.
Whatever his name is, Kim Jong is not crazy.
Just lives in a bubble like George W. Bush, by the way.
Isolated, like George W. Bush, in a way, was the uh implication.
Uh make no mistake, this is a this is a very partisan, mean-spirited woman, Madeline Albright, trying to establish a business and launch it.
And she needs all the help that she can get from her drive-by media buddies.
All right, so after rather describes how robotized the North Korean population is.
Next question is, well, that's incredibly creepy, Dan.
I've never heard that.
The controller, I mean, how controlling was your controller.
You said how control, the control was complete.
Absolute.
We went nowhere without the controllers.
We spoke to no one without the permission of the controllers.
Uh the people we spoke to tended to be official guides at museums, uh, other public monuments, that sort of thing.
It's hard for anyone in the West, I would say hard for anyone who's never been to North Korea to imagine what it's like, because it is the discipline is so great that everybody you're allowed to talk to gives you what are clearly programmed answers, and sometimes they're non sequiturs.
Why is he so stunned?
This is communism.
This is what it takes in order to enforce it.
Anyway, next question.
Anderson Cooper says, Well, you've been in a lot of countries where the official line was, you know, hatred of America down by the USA.
Clearly that's a North Korean line.
Were you able to get any sense of whether people actually believe it there?
I mean, was there any overt hostility toward you as an American?
Anderson, make no mistake.
When you were there and you see this these huge demonstrations, military and otherwise, this is a country uh that is very proud of itself.
Stop and what do we just get through hearing?
That they're robotized.
That they don't say anything that they've not been programmed to say.
In other words, they're not free thinkers.
It's not tolerated, it's not permitted.
You're probably snuffed out if it's uh discovered that you're engaging in that.
And yet, we hear we always hear this about people in these communist countries.
We heard it during the uh the Cold War about the uh Soviet Union.
Country it's very proud of itself, very, very proud of itself.
This these are non-sequitors.
He spoke of that too.
Here's the rest of the bite.
They will tell you in a second, the officials that one speaks to, including General Bach, who's responsible for defending the demilitarized zone, uh, that they expect the United States to invade.
They expect the United States to try a regime change, and uh they look you clear in the eye and say, we, unlike the Iraqis, will fight to the last man, woman, and child.
Have to get the Iraqis in there, have to susperge them, have to impugn them, uh, and make the case that the North Korean people, the robotized, programmed, propagandized, very proud of their country, North Korea.
We're not gonna give up like those people in Iraq.
We're gonna go fight to the last man, woman, and child.
I'm gonna take a break here, folks, to avoid uh uh any more it just I'm on the verge of profanity here.
Let me just take make a brief break.
I have just instructed the able cookie to begin a nexus search, because I have uh in the uh deep dark crevices of my fertile mind, the little gray cells of uh memory, of Madame Albright saying on a couple of occasions that she and Bill Clinton were duped by uh Kim Jong-il in North Korea, and I just don't remember if it was in a print story or if she said it on some television show.
So I'm I'm I'm seeking a uh Nexus review and search, and hopefully we'll uh be able to confirm that for you.
Because I I know I've heard her say it.
She was asked point blank by somebody, some might have been Hannity.
I'm not sure who, but somebody who was not swallowing uh the Kool-Aid as uh Larry King does, as Albright goes on the show.
Brian Kilme didn't swallow the Kool-Aid with Wendy Sherman today on the Fox and Friends program.
Question, and remember Wendy Sherman, a principal in Albright's new company and former ambassador in the Clinton administration.
Brian Kilme says, how do you feel about former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry?
Who uh who you worked with when it came to North Korea during the Clinton years, saying essentially if they go uh to line up with an intermediate range missile that could reach Alaska, we should just blow it off their pad.
I understand uh Secretary Prairie's enormous frustration.
Uh, at the beginning of the Bush administration six years ago, North Korea had enough plutonium for one or two nuclear weapons.
Plutonium that was created during Father Bush's uh term in office.
No plutonium was created during uh the Clinton administration.
Stop the tape.
See what I'm talking about.
This is unbelievable.
It simply stretches credulity and credibility.
Why in the world would Kim Jong-il stop enriching uranium all during the eight years of Bill Clinton?
But that's what Wendy Sherman wants you to believe.
She and Albright made it happen because they're starting this business.
Plus, they love they love jamming both Bushes.
So Bush 41, he got it all started, and it was Bush 43 who looked the other way and let it all happen.
And here's the rest of the bite.
Now, six years after the beginning of uh George W. Bush's uh presidency, North Korea has enough plutonium for six, eight, or ten nuclear weapons.
So we certainly haven't made progress over the last six years.
No, no, of course we have made progress.
Uh, you and Madame Albright, uh Bill Clinton, they set us up, boy.
Forever would we be safe from Kim Jong-il.
But of course, the Bush administration, a bunch of incompetent boobs.
Um, I don't recall Bill Clinton ever saying it was North Korea in the uh axis of evil.
I I this is such a rewrite of history, folks.
This is more than revisionist history.
This is rewriting it.
Because they know they are vulnerable as hell.
Why do you think they are flooding every TV show they can get on to use their own propaganda here to set themselves up, not just to start their business and keep it going and to grow it, but also to protect the legacy of themselves in the Clinton administration.
But now Kilmead wasn't buying that.
Kilmeade said, really, the North Koreans only started enriching plutonium during the transition from Clinton to Bush.
It is not entirely clear.
Intelligence sources tell me that they were attempting to get centrifuges at the end of the Clinton administration, but the full-fledged highly enriched uranium program didn't begin until later.
Uh, Brian Kilmead's a sports guy, and and nothing wrong with that, but not even he was buying this.
And then she you heard her backtrack a little bit.
Well, it's not entirely clear.
Intelligence sources tell me.
Remember, world leaders, internationalists, business leaders are watching this, and Wendy Sherman wants to portray, I cannot emphasize this enough.
She wants to portray herself and Madame Albright as the smartest people in the world with loads of contacts, a huge Rolodex.
You got a problem anywhere in the world with your comfort your company, your government called Albright group LLC, and they've got the connections to solve it for you.
Do not, folks, do not underestimate that aspect of why these people are flooding the zone on television.
So Wendy Sherman says that intelligence sources told her that the North Koreans attempting to get centrifuges and ramped up for 10, 12 nuclear missile warheads and so forth.
Didn't the same intelligence sources tell her and the Clinton people that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction back in 1998?
