So, how's that so-called cake?
Really?
Snerdly's birthday today, folks.
Little cake in there during the top-of-the-hour break, a vegan cake.
It's like, I don't know.
It's like eating air and thinking that you're eating something.
They can't use eggs in them.
Right there.
So anytime I've had one of those vegan cakes, there's just been this bitter aftertaste after one bite.
I guess veganism is an acquired taste.
At any rate, welcome back, folks.
Nice to have you.
El Rushbo back after a week's absence.
I must say, we are kicking butt today on the EIB network.
Got another hour, full hour to go here.
800-282-2882.
If you'd like to be on the program today, the email address, rush at EIBnet.com.
Now, this seems to me to be happening somewhat frequently, but it doesn't get reported much.
Iraqi army forces killed an insurgent leader, Abdal Ghaffur, and captured four other suspected insurgents during an early morning raid on July 14th in northern Iraq.
This news just released today by the Public Affairs Office at Camp Victory, the Multinational Corps, and Iraq press release as Iraqi forces and their coalition force advisors approached an objective near Mahalabiyah, southeast of Talafar.
Shots were fired at them.
Iraqi forces reacted immediately, assaulting the objective, killing Abdal Ghaffor, aka Abd al-Rahman, aka Abu Amin.
He's the senior resurgent leader in this area, and they captured four more suspected insurgents.
It just seems to me that ever since we whacked Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, that there's been more and more of the insurgency also getting whacked over there, and it just doesn't seem to be reported much except by us when we learn of it.
All right.
Here is my fantasy.
A fantasy ending to this scenario going on in southern Lebanon with the Hezbollah group and Israel.
If you do, this is rough, but it's close enough for talk show work.
If you draw a line from Lebanon's southern area to Haifa in Israel, which is, you know, they've been launching missiles at Haifa, from southern Lebanon, and then you, you know, you put an arc over that, you know, trace the line of a missile being launched and then traveling and landing.
You find that the distance from the southern area of Lebanon to Haifa is pretty damn close to the distance from southern Lebanon to Damascus.
Now, wouldn't it be cool, ladies and gentlemen, if Israeli commandos snuck in there under the cover of darkness and seized one of those rocket launchers in Lebanon, aimed it 90 degrees to the left or at Damascus, and then pulled a trigger?
Wouldn't you love the headline, stray Hezbollah rocket hits Damascus?
Hey, you know, there's stranger things than this that could happen.
And I sit here and play games.
You'd love it.
Folks, I was in Connecticut for a lot of last week.
It was a base of operations.
Went up, played golf at the country club at Brookline, which I just love that place.
It's one of the finest golf clubs, courses as well that I've been to.
Just loads of fun.
to Martha's Vineyard, went to Newport, played Newport Country Club, which is where the LPGA U.S. Open, the Women's U.S. Open was this year.
And then our base of operations was the country club of Fairfield.
And as I've told you, every time I go to Connecticut, I have to be on my guard because I run into Connecticut conservatives and Republicans just filled with doom and gloom because all they read is the New York Times.
And of course, it's a blue state.
But didn't have a whole lot of political conversation this trip because I've gotten that out of the way on previous trips.
But it did come up now and then about Joe Lieberman and what's happening with Joe Lieberman.
And, you know, what's happening with Lieberman is that the Democratic base is trying to run him out of the United States Senate.
And they've got this media tycoon who has literally no political experience whatsoever.
We've played audio soundbites of some debates that they've had.
It's clear this guy is just mouthing phrases he's been taught by the lunatics of the left-wing fringe.
We got to thinking about this, though.
Because Lieberman says he's going to run as an independent if he loses the primary.
Well, let's take that a step further.
The Democratic Party today is assumed to be, well, it's not assumed to be.
The Democratic Party today is oriented around one thing, and that's, aside from his hatred of Bush, oriented around its anti-war position.
The Democrat base is pure anti-war, and that's why Lieberman is in trouble.
It is such a powerful base, or perceived to be by other Democrats, that Democrats like Hillary and others, John Kerry.
I said, oh, if Lieberman loses, I'm not supporting him.
I must support my party.
My party stood behind me.
I will always be a Democrat.
Hillary has pretty much said the same thing.
Barbara Boxer, however, is in trouble, so-called.
This is from the San Jose Mercury News.
Liberals angry at Boxer for supporting Lieberman.
Liberal activists, including some California Democrats, are furious with Senator Barbara Boxer, a leading critic of the Iraq War, for her active support of Senator Lieberman.
Lieberman fighting for his political life in Connecticut, blah, Boxer said she decided to support Lieberman and campaign for him in Connecticut, even though we have no common ground surrounding the issue of the Iraq War.
Lieberman's been one of her staunchest allies on the environment and reproductive rights, two issues very important to her, Boxer said in a statement.
I'll be campaigning with him to let the voters know about his record on those issues.
Several other Senate Democrats said they would campaign for Lieberman, but Boxer is among the most liberal members of the Senate, and her decision has surprised some people, said Norman Ornstein, a longtime analyst of Congress and elections at the American Enterprise Institute.
Senator Feinstein, also a California Democrat, is backing Lieberman, has no plans to campaign for him.
Boxer's decision stunned some California Democrats.
Arianna Huffington on her popular...
I'm sorry, folks.
I'm sorry.
I didn't read the story far enough.
Built a whole story around the fact that a kook woman who used to be a conservative is mad at Barbara Boxer.
That becomes a whole news.
Folks, I am sorry I didn't pre-read the whole thing.
His story is worthless.
It is meaningless.
It doesn't matter what Ariana Huffington thinks, says, writes, or does about anything.
So let's take it out.
Say Lieberman wins the primary.
Let's say Lieberman loses the primary and runs as an independent and wins his seat back.
Now, stop and think of this for a second.
What does that do to the Democratic Party?
What does that do to its anti-war position?
When the Democrat base gets rid of Lieberman in the primary, he runs as an independent and wins as an independent, not a Democrat.
You don't think that would rattle the ground and shake the ground, the quicksand the Democrats are standing in?
A lot of people looking down the road at this.
And this Looney Tunes Media tycoon, what is he within six points or six points up?
What is it?
Yeah, he's within six.
I mean, theoretically, this clown could win it.
Speaking of what other thing, when I was up there, I guess it was this Friday night.
Friday night after golf and before dinner.
And this thing was a dinner party tour every night, dinner.
Just every night, but there was always a little period of time between golf and a couple hours downtime before going out to dinner.
I'm sitting out on my deck, my friend's deck.
He's got a deck overlooking Little Harbor there in Fairfield.
I look down and I see these big bright lights reflecting off this house down there next to Bob Reitz, who runs NBC.
It's about four houses down from his.
And these bright lights lighting the house.
And then I see a tent.
And I asked who lives there.
And the friend said, Zoe Cruz.
I said, that's where Zoe Cruz lives.
Oh, yeah.
Biggest female star at Wall Street.
I said, I know.
I know all about that.
Well, I said, what's this bash?
Well, I mean, it's obviously rehearsing for it.
There's some big party going on there tomorrow night.
Everybody knows about it.
I said, have we been invited?
No.
Zoe Cruz did not invite me to her big bash on Saturday night?
No, it didn't invite any of us.
I was stunned.
Zoe Cruz throws this huge party.
I'm in town and I'm not invited.
So we went out to another dinner on Saturday night.
And this party got going about five in the afternoon.
And there were singers, marianchi.
We're watching this through the binoculars.
Zoe Cruz's house.
And the fireworks, there were some fireworks even.
We saw those.
We went to dinner at the beach.
I saw the.
And I was, I can't believe I'm here.
And Zoe Cruz did not invite me to the party.
So on Sunday, I'm asking all the guys at golf, were you invited to Zoe Cruz's party last night?
Nope.
Well, it didn't make me feel much better, but a little bit better.
So who is Zoe Cruz?
You don't know who Zoe Cruz is?
Zoe Cruz had the biggest party on Saturday night in Fairfield, Connecticut.
You don't know who Zoe Cruz is?
Well, if you don't know, then you're not supposed to know, Snurdly.
I mean, if you have to ask, it's not even worth it.
I'm just telling you that, stunned, I went to a big party less than a mile away.
And I wasn't invited.
Now I don't even know she knew I was there, but I mean, no, everybody knew I was there.
The word spread.
I can't sneak you down to places anymore.
Hi, welcome back.
El Rush Bow and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, 800-282-2882.
This is Everett in Elk Grove, California.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Good to be on with you, Rush.
Thank you.
I finally get through, and I have to have a minor disagreement.
Did I?
No, no, no, no.
Well, Shelvet and say what.
Oh, well, don't shelve it.
Tell me what you disagree about.
Well, I think that these symptoms that Iran is showing her actions are symptoms of intimidation by us.
They may not be intimidated so much by our soldiers, but I think they're really paranoid about the budding democracies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and even Palestine if it could have continued.
I think that scares them debt.
If the next three years go as well as the last three years, Iran's opportunity is going to be over with to cause chaos and be a so I think they want to cause the chaos now while they even have any opportunity.
You know, this is an interesting point.
Because what if you're just joining us, we had some calls in the last hour.
Everett, thanks.
I'm going to expand on this a little bit.
We had some calls in the last hour about do we have the will to go in and take care of Iran since we're so bogged down on Iraq and the country doesn't seem to be supportive of it anymore and blah, And Guy calls, well, we're there.
The great thing about it is we're based Afghanistan.
We're based in Iraq.
We're on near two of Iran's borders.
We want to make a move.
We're right there.
We don't have to move heaven and earth to get forces over there.
And I said, well, are they really intimidated by our presence?
Look at all they're doing, despite the fact that we are there.
And what Everett here is saying is maybe they are necessarily intimidated by our presence or soldiers, but clearly they don't like what's happening in Iraq, and they're trying to undermine it.
The last thing that these mullahs want is any kind of self-determination on the part of the people.
Whether you call it democracy, I don't care.
But the last thing they want is a general population deciding its own fate and deciding its own government and choosing its own leaders.
The mullahs would be out on a magic carpet ride if that were to happen in Iran.
And they see it happen.
There were elections in Palestine.
You can say that it didn't end up like we thought they would.
Lebanon is essentially an elect democracy in the sense that it has self-determination on the part of its people.
And the Iranians may be looking at this and, hmm, we don't have much time to act to sabotage all this that's happening and to undermine it because they do have a desire.
They want to dominate the region, folks.
Make no mistake about it.
That is their objective.
They want to dominate the Middle East.
And Everett, that's a great thought.
We'll put it in a hopper.
See, you know what's good about Everett's call is Everett is not falling prey to the easy tendency to think negative and to be pessimistic.
He's looking at things as I do as an optimist and positively.
Pamela, New York City, glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hey, Russ, I can't move along with you.
You rock.
You rock my world.
You rock the world.
And I just want to say for the people, Russia's place in history has not been written yet.
I just want you to know that.
You're a great man.
Appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
But it's true.
Listen, I just came from the Stand With Israel rally in New York City.
And I want to say, first of all, there were tens of thousands of people there, tens of thousands, young, old, thin, pleasantly overweight, wonderful, wonderful people.
And you know that I'm in a blue state, yes?
And so, of course, it's co-opted by the Democrats.
Hillary was there, and they were all lined up.
But I want to say two quick things.
When Ellie Wiesel spoke and said, thank God Bush is in the White House, and God bless President Bush.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold it.
Pamela, Pamela.
You got to slow down here just a little bit so I can keep up with you.
Did Ellie Wiesel thank God that Bush is in the White House?
Yes, he did.
And I'll have it on my, I'm a blogger.
I'll have it on my blog later.
I took a video on it.
I'm Atlas Shruggs.
I'm Atlas.
I'm too small for you, but we're out there.
The little grassroots are out there.
And I cover these events.
The Jihad media, the Jihad media won't cover them.
Time out.
Yeah, they won't cover them.
There were tens of thousands of people.
Time out.
Slow down just a little.
I know you're excited.
It was unbelievable.
It was an unbelievable moment.
It was an overwhelming rush.
It was overwhelming all the people that they could not contain the people.
They couldn't.
It was lovely.
It was beautiful.
What did Hillary do when L.A.B. Sellers?
Oh, she made that face.
I have a picture of the face.
You'll see her face, that face.
You know, she's looking up, you know.
But when she started to speak, just for knowing, she was getting booed.
I'll have that on the blog, too.
She was getting booed.
They're hip to her.
Even the New York Jews.
Not the completely, you know, left-hearted ones, but the Jews know.
But there were other, there was a lot of, there was a huge Christian presence there.
There were preachers there.
But the reason why I'm calling for A to report to you, because I'm sure you won't see it in the main, they'll give it three seconds, you know, and then they'll show Lebanon, Beirut, and wait for the next rocket to hit.
But they can't do that in Israel because we don't know where they're flying.
They're unguided missiles.
So you can't have a camera on it, but you can have a camera sitting in Beirut while all these missiles come in.
You know, that's the media.
But just for knowing, I wanted you to know that this is going to the Hitbollah.
Israel, it's really the Israel-Islamic war, is going to undermine the Democrats in November, and I will tell you why.
Okay.
I'm a blogger, so I live in the sphere.
It's where I live.
And you know that Christian.
Slow down.
Try one more time.
Try to slow down.
Okay.
And recently, as soon as this war broke out, there have been a couple of threads on CAS saying that it's all Israel's fault.
Israel shouldn't exist.
Without Israel, we wouldn't have these problems.
And I know that it's just a seed.
I know that it's just a zygote.
But Daly Cos, you know who he is.
He is in with Howard Dean.
They raised the money.
They raised the big bucks to George Soros.
No, no, no.
The real big one is Ariana Huffington.
I mean, that's.
Listen, you know what about Huffington?
Puff Ho.
You know what about Puff Ho?
She just came in and glommed what the bloggers were doing, you know, working our little tails to the bone there.
That's not a real expression, but you get my drift.
And she just threw up a site and called it a blog and had those idiots in Hollywood.
You know, I mean, she just co-opted the whole blog because she's not a real blog.
She's got a real blog, but she does get their money.
And I'm saying it's early in the game.
The war is how many days old?
It's early in the game, but I tell you, it's going to hurt them.
I get letters from soldiers saying, I just want you to know that every time Israel scores one, everyone, the time Israel scores one, we soldiers, we throw up our hands.
So it's one less jihadi we have to kill.
Okay.
Hey, that is.
Pamela, thanks so much.
You really chalked a lot in there.
And it's great that you called for a report on the rally in New York.
And we got to continue after this.
You're guiding Eliot through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, despair, war, torture, humiliation, economic greatness, and even the good times.
All right.
There's other news out there, ladies and gentlemen, and I can't let it go by.
You know, we're not a single-issue program here.
This is from the Chicago Sun-Times.
Well, I think it's the Chicago Sun-Times.
The story is out of California.
Doesn't matter where it's from.
I just love it.
The driver of a black Honda thought that he would by Miriam Jordan, by the way, that's the InfoBab's name, wrote the story.
The driver of a Black Honda thought he would quickly enlist some guys to load furniture and boxes onto a truck until he heard the men wanted $15 an hour.
What?
You don't even have papers, the driver told a clutch of Latino day laborers clustered around his car last week.
But they stood firm.
We do hard jobs others won't do.
Luis Copp a Guatemalan told the man behind the wheel, if you want to save money, that's okay.
You'll have to find other workers.
So the guy in the Honda drove off, the odd jobs unfulfilled.
Three months ago, about 120 immigrants who solicit work along a sun-drenched road in Agora Hills or Agora Hills, California, south side Los Angeles, decided among themselves to only accept work for a minimum hourly wage of $15, about $2.50 higher than the previous informal rate.
What they have here is the essence of a union, said Pablo Alvarado, national coordinator for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network.
Do you get what's happening here?
The illegal day laborers are now unionizing for higher wages.
And one of the reasons, the reason I'm laughing, is because obviously some of these people can keep up with the news because what they've figured out is that the reason people want them is because they think they'll work dirt cheap, that they'll do quote-unquote the jobs Americans won't do, which is a bunch of hooey.
And secondly, that they'll work cheap.
And that's why supporters of illegal immigration actually support it.
They love this constant supply of uneducated, low-wage workers who will work very hard and do what are considered to be menial tasks.
Well, these people have figured it out.
They're going to demand higher labor.
And that's funny.
The immigrants themselves are sabotaging the very people who are making it possible to come in and remain illegal.
Now, not everybody endorses the idea of.
And by the way, guess who's courting these day laborers?
It's the AFL-CIO.
The AFL-CIO is courting day laborers.
A few weeks ago, a delegation of senior Federation officials flew all the way out to L.A. to meet with Pablo Alvarado and his team of organizers.
They made the one-hour trip from downtown to Agora Hills for a close look at the impact of the network's organizing efforts.
Through Pablo, we have a whole new cadre of worker advocates, said Anna Avendano, Associate General Counsel of the AFL-CIO.
But not everybody endorses the idea of allowing undocumented day laborers to hook up with the mainstream labor movement.
They're so desperate for new members that they're selling out to the aliens.
Selling out to the aliens.
You know, if you're just patient, sometimes this stuff works itself out on its own.
They're so desperate for new members at the unions that they're selling out to the aliens.
That was said by John Keeley, a spokesman for the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, a think tank that favors more restrictive immigration policies.
All right, so they're not going to work cheap anymore.
And I know it's just the birth of a movement, but money talks.
And once day laborers start earning big bucks, if they do, the word will spread.
Then this, they won't get hired?
What if they if they won't?
Well, that's the point, Sterling.
Of course it's the point that they won't get hired.
That they're not here because people love them.
They're not, when McCain and these guys talk about how they're the backbone of America, that's not, and they hear this.
That's not what this is all about, the fact that they'll do the work for dirt cheap.
Now, if they all of a sudden decide they're not going to do the work for dirt cheap and they don't get hired, then what do they do?
They go home.
They don't stay.
Or else they take the work for dirt cheap.
But if they go home, then you've, it's not going to solve the problem.
And I don't know how big this is going to get, but I just, I don't know.
I just, I just, look, I find it funny when a bunch of people that are purposely prevaricating and misleading everybody about how much they are loved and how much they are respected, when that group that's being lied to finds out about it, then there is hell to pay.
And if you're going to be a member of Congress or somebody else and run around and tell these people they're the backbone of America, they're the new civil rights movement, we can't do without you.
And then you say, well, I'm pretty valuable.
I don't want four bucks an hour.
I want 10.
And they tell you, you can go to hell for 10 bucks an hour.
What are you going to do?
But you told me I was the backbone of America.
You told me I was a new civil rights.
You are at $4 an hour, but at 10, we couldn't care less.
Go back to Guatemala, Pablo.
All right, here's exciting news story number two.
This is from the New Zealand Herald, but it's not America, but it's New Zealand.
Teenage girls who get pregnant deliberately plan to become mothers in the belief that a baby will improve the quality of their lives.
The research reveals that girls as young as 13 are making a career choice.
Career choice.
Can you imagine the feminazis when they see this?
Girls as young as 13 are making a career choice by deciding to have children since they see parenting as preferable to working in a dead-end job.
The vast majority of the girls said that their lives had improved after having children, that having a baby that turned them away from destructive behaviors such as drink and drug abuse.
The study's authors want ministers to use sex education classes to highlight the fact that fertility is at its highest in adolescence.
They also pose the question whether teenage pregnancy should always be avoided given the positive experiences the girls surveyed.
Well, I mean, see, if you just wait long enough sometimes, folks, the problems will fix themselves.
Here for about 35, 36 years, the modern era of the feminist movement has been doing everything it can to tell women, screw a baby business, screw having a family.
Don't let the sisterhood down.
You're going to go out there and be like men.
You've got to go on a career, corporate ladder, and you've got to start climbing.
And you can't fall prey to these stereotypes, barefoot and pregnant in the home and so forth, in the kitchen.
And now in New Zealand, 13-year-old little girls say having...
Now, don't misunderstand me, folks.
I'm not advocating that little 13-year-old girls go out and have babies.
That's not the point.
The point is, they think it.
And which means that the roots of feminism have failed to take hold.
So I say, if you just sit around and wait long enough, then problems do start to fix themselves quickly.
Won't take long here.
Trumpet fanfare.
It's time for an update, and we're going back to the archives, to the grooveyard, forgotten favorites.
We have a mini-gorbasm here.
All right, by now you all know what a gorbasm is.
A gorbasm.
Gorbasm is that uncontrollable feeling of euphoria and excitement and release that occurs when you see Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev and ponder all that he could mean to the prospect and concept of world peace.
Because, of course, Ronald Reagan was a cowboy and was going to destroy the world, finger on the nuclear button and so forth.
So a myth has sprung up about Mikhail Gorbachev in which he and he alone ended the Cold War.
Reagan was just eating jelly beans.
And the myth continues.
We have, say, three short audio sound bites here that happen on Tuesday on Good Morning America.
And the first one is just the introduction, the breathless introduction.
Diane Sawyer introducing a piece on Mikhail Gorbachev by ABC's Claire Shipman.
Here is how you can kill the music now because they won't be able to hear the audio soundbite with the Gorbasm theme.
Here is how Diane Sawyer introduced the report.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the Russian leader who changed the world, helping end the Cold War, sat down to speak with our senior national correspondent, Claire Shipman.
It's a mini orgasm.
No foreplay in this one.
It just has cut right to the chase.
The Russian leader who changed the world.
Now, Gorbasm, you know, Gorbachev didn't change the world and end the Cold War, and he didn't save us all from ourselves.
Reagan did.
But nevertheless, here's the question from a reporter at Claire Shipman.
And the question is about whether Russia is off course in its quest for democracy.
He accuses Americans of arrogance.
Americans have a severe disease worse than AIDS.
It's called the winner's complex.
You want an American-style democracy here.
That will not work.
All right, we have a disease.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the man who saved the world from the Cold War, says that we Americans have a disease worse than AIDS.
Winner's disease.
Winner's disease, winner's complex.
You want American-style democracy in Russia?
That will not work.
Democracy is the one sprouting wings all over the world.
It's communism that's not working and never, ever has.
Now, in this next bite, you'll hear that Gorbachev seems to respect Bush, but has problems with members of his administration.
Shipman says he dismantled the Cold War with President Bush, and he's wry about his son.
He's very determined.
You can't say he doesn't have character.
But blistering about Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Very checks protecting the interests of the military.
Shallow people.
Salary people?
Is that what he said?
Salary people?
Is that what he said?
Shallow.
Shallow people.
Military people.
Well, this is from a guy running the KGB in the Soviet Red Army.
You ought to know.
Shallow people.
So just like the American left, he doesn't like Rumsfeld, and he doesn't like Cheney.
But he does love Bush 41.
I was at Bush 41's 80th birthday party down there in Houston at Reliant Stadium, and Gorbachev had my picture taken with him.
We'll put it on the website.
In fact, his birthmark actually ended up on my forehead when we processed the picture.
It's odd, but it's there.
But he was out there the next day when Bush 41 jumped from the Jumped up their parachute from the airplane.
Skydiving, it was a skydiving thing.
And Bush had to come down with a because the winds were such that Bush couldn't come down alone.
He had to come down with an instructor because of his age.
Bush didn't want to do that, but he had to do it because of rules and regulation.
Gorbachev's out there just applauding.
It was the greatest thing.
He was having a great time at Debash at Reliance State.
So I think he likes Bush 41 and as a result, thinks that his son also has character.
But when it comes to Cheney and Rumfel, they're just a bunch of hawks, shallow people.
From a former Soviet bunch of hawks is just like Colonel Sanders saying he hates chicken.
Back in just a second.
You know, we've got to keep our eyes on a Dutch, folks.
A Dutch court refused today, a Dutch court refused today to ban a political party whose main goal is to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12.
The judge said it was the voter's right to judge the appeal of political parties.
The party has only, it's a pedophile party.
The pedophile party in the Netherlands.
Party has only three known members, one of whom was convicted of molesting an 11-year-old boy in 1987.
It is thought unlikely that the pedophile party will ever win a seat in parliament.
They'd need around 60,000 votes.
Pollsters estimate that it would get fewer than 1,000 votes.
Man, you have to lower the voting age and take care of that.
And then, you know, you get a society like this that started to tear itself apart.
You got to keep a sharp eye on it.
Remember, that's where the photos, the Muhammad photos, the cartoons, you know, blew up.
Here's Adam in Los Angeles.
Adam, I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Thanks for taking my call.
Rush, how are you today?
Fine, sir.
Good.
I'll be quick.
The point about the UN bringing in observer forces or forces to stop Israel from moving forward has always worked to Israel's undoing.
If we examine the 1982 invasion when Israel went into southern Lebanon, went all the way outside Beirut, surrounded Yasser Arafat and his terrorists, and what did diplomacy in the UN do?
Let all the terrorists go.
They went to Cyprus only to come back to kill and fight another day.
Furthermore, the diplomatic efforts of the world through the UN and not through the UN have always served to undermine Israel's efforts to rid itself of terrorist and aggressor forces as they've done every single time throughout history.
If you do again, 1982 in Lebanon, giving back the Sinai, only led to later Egypt gives back the takes over the Sinai and has allowed the terrorists in Gaza to smuggle in right under their noses tons of armaments.
In 2000, Israel pulls out of southern Lebanon only to see the UN stand by and do nothing when Hezbollah has there's no question.
You're correct about this.
The United Nations hates us.
The United States hates Western-style democracy.
The United Nations is, but their enmity for Israel is far different.
The United Nations, folks, let's be blunt.
United Nations is the modern repository of anti-Semitism in the world, and it is almost sanctified because of the august reputation of that body.
And so they hate Israel.
It is, there's no question of it.
That's why the UN wants to get involved is to harm Israel and to punish it and to prevent it from being safe, like it wiped out or moved at the very least.
We got to go because I'm out of time, folks.
Back here in just a second.
All right, folks, great to have been back with you today.
Feels great to get off such a rousing start.
And so much so, I look forward to it again tomorrow as I do each and every day.
Have a great rest of the day and look forward to revving it back up again tomorrow.
