Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Anyone know where Raul is?
Hiding from who?
His brothers in the hospital.
Maybe dead.
Why would Raul be hiding from his brother?
Uh everybody wondering where Raul is.
Nobody's seen anybody running Cuba in uh well, a couple of days now.
And the intrigue continues to mount.
Since Raul Castro Ruz officially became Cuba's interim president on Monday, nobody's seen him.
Greetings and welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
You are uh here at the EIB Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, a uh a media presentation found nowhere else.
We combine the uh uh serious discussions of issues of our day with irreverent uh comical satirical humor, maintaining credibility on both sides of the presentation.
It's a pleasure to have you.
A special welcome to those of you watching uh at rushlimbaugh.com on the Ditto Chem.
If you want to call and uh take a shot at being on the program 800-282-2882, email address rush at EIB net.com.
Senator John McCain may be coming around, ladies and gentlemen.
And I know that that might shock some of you to hear me say that.
But I I want to present you a couple bits of evidence here and get your thoughts.
And not only get your thoughts, as you think about it and see if you don't agree with me.
Last night on CNN the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.
He was asked, Senator McCain was asked this question do you think there should be an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Hisbos?
I think there should be an immediate ceasefire at the moment when Hezbollah has been at least to a large degree neutralized.
Well, Senator McCain uh has just uh uh tacitly endorsed the limbaugh doctrine, which is uh no victory until there's peace.
Uh neutralized, defeated.
Uh same thing.
And then he was asked by Wolf Blitzer about uh Chuck Hagel, uh Maverick in waiting in the Senate, Republican Maverick in waiting.
Uh Question from Blitzer.
Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, uh uh man who wants to be like you, I added that Wolf didn't really say that.
Uh a man you know quite well, he caused a little stir earlier in the week by saying this fighting must stop.
And it must stop right now.
President Bush and Secretary Rice, they're refusing to call for an immediate ceasefire.
Who's right?
Who's wrong?
To restore the status quo where the Hezbollah has thousands of rockets, their announced uh goal of the exting extinction of the state of Israel uh is not a workable situation.
I respect uh the views articulated by my dear friend from Nebraska.
I just have a disagreement on this one.
So uh uh two sound bites uh smack dab in a row where it is clear as can be.
Uh Senator McCain is uh standing with me, uh both in the Limbaugh doctrine and in uh our position on uh um Senator Hagel.
Last night on KDKA in Pittsburgh, uh political editor John Delano interviewed Washington County Commission.
This is cut one uh uh Mike.
Uh Diana Eerie, am I pronouncing that right?
Think so, uh, who's running against uh Mertha, Mirtha's opponent coming up uh in this next election?
And the political editor, the host said, you know, uh you were mentioned on Rush Limbaugh show, and I have to ask you this.
He he called you a babe.
How how did you react to that?
Well, it's a little humbling.
I know my children thought it was hilarious, you know, three teenagers, but I did hear about it.
I didn't actually hear him talk about me, but uh people called him.
Humbling, humbling to be called a babe by America's anchor man, L. Rushbow.
Yes, I'm aware I have that effect on millions.
All right, folks, bad news for the drive-by media.
Not only is Tropical Storm Chris falling apart, the uh hurricane experts that make predictions have reduced the predicted number of hurricanes to seven.
And uh this is the bad news for the drive-by media.
This is not supposed to be happening.
With global warming, what's supposed to be happening is that the Atlantic Ocean is supposed to get even hotter and hotter and hotter every year, and this year was supposed to produce more hurricanes, more destruction, more death than even last year.
Ain't gonna happen.
Now, what happened to Hurricane Chris or Tropical Storm Chris?
Two things happened.
Top is being sheared off of it.
High level winds are shearing.
If you shear the tops off hurricanes, they can't form, and this is some people are suspecting an outbreak of El Nino, which is a warming of the waters in the western Pacific Ocean, which does affect uh wind currents aloft and can uh also uh uh really damage uh the ability of hurricanes to get going.
Noted hurricane research team today reduced its forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, said it would still be above average with 15 tropical storms, seven of which would become hurricanes.
In May, the Colorado State University team formed by the expert William Gray had predicted the season would bring 17 storms, and that nine would become hurricanes.
The uh new forecast updated several times each year said three of the hurricanes would be intense storms.
That means the drive-by media can still hold out hope.
Uh category three or higher on the Sapphour Simpson hurricane scale.
The May forecast predicted five intense hurricanes.
So it's no pretty good nine intense hurricanes.
So uh the drive-by media no doubt disappointed with this news and the fact that uh Trop Storm Chris is not going to become anything.
Look, looks like it.
They always hold out hope that it could reform and and strengthen, but it doesn't look like this one's going to.
Even the guys at the National Hurricane Center are a little you when you read their discussion, they're a little sad.
This something happened to this thing, and they can't explain it.
I mean, they're forecasting it to be a hurricane by now.
Yesterday, they can't explain well, other than the shear and this or that.
Uh, but the drive-by media has something else to glom on to here, ladies and gentlemen.
This from AP.
Summer nights heating up, scientists say.
Well, you could take that one of two ways.
America in recent years has been sweltering through three times more than its normal share of extra hot summer nights, government weather records show, and that is a particularly dangerous trend, really.
During heat waves, like the one that now has a grip on much of the east, one of the major causes of heat deaths is the lack of night cooling that would normally allow a stressed body to recover, scientists say.
Some scientists said a trend is a sign of man-made global warming.
Well, how it only took two paragraphs to get to that.
A top federal research meteorologist said that he almost fell out of my chair, quote unquote, when he looked over U.S. night minimum temperature records over the past 96 years and saw the skyrocketing trend of hot summer nights.
Now, just stick with me on this, folks, because as usual, the pretext of the story is destroyed by the facts of the past.
From 2001 to 2005, on average, nearly 30% of the nation had much above normal average summertime, minimum temperatures that'd be low temps for you and Rio Linda.
This, according to the National Climatic Data in uh Asheville, North Carolina, by definition, much above normal means low temperatures that are in the highest 10% on record.
Yet in both 2005 and 2003, 36% of the nation had much above normal summer minimums.
In 2002, 37%.
While the highest ever figure was in the middle of America's brutal dust bowl.
All right, so what is this story about?
We're not setting records because the record was set before man-made global warming set in.
Back during the Dust Bowl, 41% of the nation had much above normal high summer night temperatures.
The rolling five-year averages of uh 2001-2005 is a record by far.
Well, you take any five years or three years or four and average it?
Do whatever, but it still does not beat the record.
And of course, if they're all gonna start wallowing and moaning about global warming, the facts of the past can blow it apart.
In fact, before we go to the break, listen to this is cool.
Yesterday at National Review Online, there was a uh uh a little post by Ian Murray, Global Warming 1948 style.
Let me before I get into this, let me ask you all a question.
Because I did this when I was a kid.
Played Little League Baseball, played Babe Ruth League Baseball, was outside in the summertime all the time.
That's what kids did then.
They didn't hang around with video games.
The baseball games are only on Saturday afternoon.
So we went out and played baseball.
And it was hot.
And I can remember being in seventh grade, younger than that, older than that, talking amongst my friends, you know.
I think the sun's getting closer to the earth, and the earth's getting closer to the.
Did you, when you were a kid, didn't you think it come on?
Didn't you think it was hotter every summer than it was the year before?
And didn't you and when it got hot in April, didn't you say, oh my gosh, there's something really wrong.
I bet you the the we're moving closer to the sun.
You didn't do that.
I think everybody does that.
You're weird in there.
Everybody.
My here's my point.
Everybody has I'll bet you, just like uh every generation has its group of people that think these are the last days.
I'll bet a number of you through your youth before you even heard of global warming.
And I'm I'm this is key.
Before you even heard of, and this is why the politics of global warming works, because most people think it's happening anyway without some pointy-headed scientist telling them.
I, of course, the ability to research and analyze this with independent thought, uh, and uh my ability to apply political instincts and understanding to a bunch of liberals, understand clearly what's going on, to make my point.
This post at National Review Online, 1948.
A scientist friend discovered an article from 1948 entitled The Present Climatic Fluctuation, written by Professor Hans Allman of the University of Stockholm.
It begins this way.
The present climatic fluctuation has been discussed since the 1920s, almost exclusively in scientific circles, although it has recently become a subject of more than academic interest.
Ordinary people beginning to realize that something's happened and is happening, which is of great interest to themselves.
The last dry summer, which transformed large parts of Western Europe into a virtual step, increased this interest and also caused anxiety, though this drought cannot be said with any certainty to belong to the present climatic fluctuation.
Sound familiar, folks.
All that's missing is a documentary by Thomas Dewey on the subject.
Anyway, the professor documents rapidly rising temperatures.
1948, glaciers melting like crazy, atmospheric circulation changes, species shifting, sea level rise, and so on from all over the world.
But he concludes, if we find the Antarctic similar in the Antarctic, similar evidence of the present climatic fluctuation, as has been found in other parts of the world, we shall be justified in concluding that the present fluctuation is a worldwide phenomenon, probably the result of variations in solar activity, which, slow as they may be to take effect, are actually resulting in an improvement in the climate of our world.
Point is 1948, a bunch of pointy head scientists out saying the same thing the fearmongers are saying today, except these guys concluded it wasn't man-made.
They had no political agenda here, but they thought it was getting hotter.
Like I'll bet you did too, Dawn, and you were glubius.
You just in there being insolent.
Back here in just a second.
Stay with us.
Yes, be patient, folks.
We're gonna get to the testimony today, Secretary Rumsfeld with Hillary Clinton.
Just it's voter turnout day for the Democrats up there.
That's that's what you're all you have to understand.
She's not interested in what he has to say.
She makes her statement, asks her question, and that's it.
What he says after that is irrelevant because she knows that whatever he says isn't going to really get reported, especially not to the cook fringe blogs that she's reaching out to with this uh question and statement today that she made it just basically I can sum it up for you.
The Bush administration screwed this up.
There never were enough troops there.
We had no chance we should have never gone to Iraq.
This is crazy.
You don't know what you're doing, neither do the generals.
This is an embarrassment, and we need to get out.
That's pretty much the summation of Hillary Clinton's point.
As she's playing, it's voter, it's it's it's voter turnout day.
That's this is this is all this is.
And I don't want to get hog tied and tied down here into an in-depth analysis of something that's Purely, purely political, that has no bearing on what's happening in Iraq and won't have any bearing.
One more thing about the heat.
Now, you people may you may be getting a little impatient with me.
Would you get off the global warming stuff?
Some people are saying, No, I'm not going to get off of it because what's at stake is the U.S. economy, folks.
What's at stake is our lifestyle.
The people that are trying to force this on everybody and take the natural fluctuations of our climate.
It's hot, it's the summertime.
You know how the drive-by media loves to create messes.
You know how they come in, they stir things up, they amplify, they've got a storyline, they've got an action line, and that is that America and high-tech and advanced lifestyles are destroying the planet as we know it.
And we've got a limited amount of time if we're going to fix this, and the only way we can fix this is by reducing our lifestyles.
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not doing it.
I don't believe it.
I know it's an absolute joke, and I'm trying to convince as many of you as possible.
And I'm not going to quit this job until that happens.
Latest story from the drive-by media.
Where's this?
The AP Medical Writer.
Listen to how juvenile this is written.
Listen, this is the AP Medical Writer.
Listen to how stupid he thinks you are.
Obese people face a higher risk of passing out, or worse, during heat waves.
Some health experts say.
Layers of fat make it extra difficult for a body to dissipate heat or to move to a cool location.
Yes, if you're fat, it's harder to get off your butt and find the shade.
And you might have a heart attack in the process of doing that, because you are fat and you can't dissipate your heat because of all the layers.
What has to happen is the blood has to rise and go to the surface of your skin, which causes the sweating, which cools your body.
But the fatter you are, the more layers and rolls you have.
Why the tougher it is for your body to cool itself.
Who does anybody think this is news?
Emergency room physicians will tell you that uh obese people are the ones collapsing, said uh Thomas Adams, a Michigan State University physiologist.
So, in addition to that gallop pollout, Amerin Americans are not warming to Al Gore.
That's my last global warming news, and I only put it in this global warming stack because of the headline.
It is a gallop.
Americans not warming to uh to Al Gore.
If you want the details, I'll give them to you, but it shouldn't surprise you.
Who in the world warms to a dead fish, particularly in the heat of the summer?
You want to be around a dead fish in the heat of the summer.
It's already bad enough if you're a little overweight.
You might have a heart attack moving to the shade or into the air conditioning.
Crisis world we live in.
The Israeli defense forces in a press briefing yesterday said that uh we're gonna control the security zone uh by today.
Uh in uh in the southern Lebanon.
The uh officer was asked whether the operation at the hospital was aimed at locating intelligence information on the kidnapped soldiers who uh may have been treated uh there before being moved elsewhere.
He refused to answer that question.
Uh, according to the officer, the uh IDF so far carried out 15 similar operations uh away from the border.
Uh and referring to the continuation of the war, he said that the operational goal will be reached tomorrow morning, i.e., today, in operational control of the traditional security zone in the central reason.
Now, uh, Regent, now Mahmood Ahmadinizad is in Malaysia.
And Mahmoud, and I'm gonna tell you something.
He's a nut, he's a lunatic.
He's out there saying the price of oil could hit 200 a barrel if you sanction us for uh doing our uh nuclear enrichment program.
But Mahmoud said that the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy Israel.
From his standpoint, that's exactly right, folks.
The d the dirty little secret here is that that's been the mission of all these Arab nations throughout Israel's existence.
Mahmood is giving us a gift.
He's informing everybody just exactly what the strategy is.
There's no land for peace going on here.
There's none of any of these proposals that have been made over the years to uh uh construct a workable peace.
He's the solution to Middle East crisis is destroy Israel.
From Israel's standpoint, the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy every Arab army that comes at it.
Uh, and only then are you gonna get peace, not with cessations of uh cessation of hostilities or the uh uh numerous ceasefires uh or or this sort of thing.
Uh Mahmood is he understands what war is all about.
Uh the I think Mahmood had this meeting because not enough Arab nations are joining him in in condemning the uh Hezbollahs.
I think he went to Malaysia to try to gin up some support.
I think Mahmood's a little surprised that there's less uh uh support for him, at least being stated publicly, and that's what he's attempting to roust here.
All right, a quick timeout coming up.
Uh, we will go to the phone calls right after this break.
Lots of lifestyle stack stuff today as well.
Uh but we'll do your calls next, folks.
Looking forward to it.
Sit tight, be right back.
That would be uh a man, a living legend uh way of life.
They're gonna have to re re-record that.
Living legend.
Serving humanity on the EIB network.
One syllable at a time.
Saying more in five seconds, and most hosts say their entire careers.
I am Rush Limbaugh, and you enjoying this, Don, he's in there laughing today about this.
Normally she rolls her eyes going, I can't believe this guy.
800-282-2882.
Um, I want to clear one thing, not clear one thing up.
I want to f I want to put an exclamation point on one thing from yesterday before we move on.
Uh the two soundbites we had, Anderson Cooper and uh uh Jeff Goldberg from I think it was Jeff.
Yeah, from uh The New Yorker, which they were discussing with dismay uh the virulent uh anti-Semitism of the Hesbos.
And they were shocked, literally shocked.
Um fascinated, it was interesting, Anderson.
It's very interesting.
What's really, really, really interesting about it is they're so open about it.
And they went on to talk about how Nozair Nasrallah, the sheik who runs the Hezbollah's, was so I mean, he it was it was fascinating.
Interesting and fascinating, he's so outspoken about his anti-Semitism.
And they both wondered why, why this rhetoric?
Why doesn't he tone it down?
And of course, the reason for that is we're, you know, we we don't want to criticize these guys.
These guys are fighting against the ally of George W. Bush, and we hate Bush.
We need Bush to lose in an area of foreign policy if our buds of Democrats have a chance to win the next two elections.
And it's gonna be real.
If these guys keep talking about their anti-Semitism, why we might have to think about treating them 10% as tough as we did Mel Gibson.
I mean, these guys are actually killing Jews.
It's their objective, it's their career.
It's on the resume.
It's on the calendar.
Everybody, get up, kill Jews.
Lunch, kill Jews, dinner, kill Jews.
Tomorrow strap bomb on our own kids to kill Jews.
Yet Mel Gibson nail his ass.
Get him out of Hollywood!
He's never gonna make another movie as long as I'm gonna do it again.
Half is outrageous, we're not gonna put up with it.
Isn't Nasralla fascinating to listen to, Anderson?
Listen to his virulent anti-Semitism, and why is he so plain spoken?
It's fascinating he's so plain spoken.
Well, I was thinking about all this yesterday, and was watching the O'Reilly factor last night.
And Dan Blather was on.
Would you like to listen to what Dan Blather said?
Dan Blather, here's the question.
O'Reilly says, here's the problem with the American reporting.
Some networks give moral equivalency to the Hezbollah in the reporting of this war.
Do you agree that it happens?
I agree it happens, and I agree it's a problem.
That isn't a problem that those of us in journalism have been uh reluctant to address.
I do not exclude myself from criticism.
Reluctant to address.
You said that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.
It's committed to the destruction of Israel.
He isn't committed to trying to just gain territories, committed to its destruction.
Well then, this is a fine time to say it when you don't have a job and you can't report it to anybody.
Well, he does have a job at the HD net.
And I love the HD net.
I absolutely love it.
They're one of the two HD channels actually broadcast in 1080i, 1080, small I, for those of you in real linda, it's lines of resolution.
And it's just fabulous.
But they just don't have a big audience.
That's where Dan's gone.
You hear that?
Yes, if there's a moral equivalence.
We are reluctant to say Hezbollah is a terrorist story.
Is that?
Well, why?
Why?
Why is it so stunning that the Hezbollah are anti Semitic?
Why is it such a shock?
And and there is, aside from the narrow focus of everybody in the drive-by media, and aside from the you know the action line and nothing else will permeate that, there's something else that has to be there for this to be possible.
For Dan Rather say, Yeah, yeah, no, there's no moral equivalence and do nothing about it his whole career.
Um liberals are liberals first.
Like somebody asked me the other day, how come so many Hollywood people uh and and and liberal Jewish people are not active for Israel in it?
They're liberals first.
Now the drive bys, and what rather here Butter says, and I told Snerdley this and we left yesterday, and he didn't think I knew what I was talking about.
Uh I'm one of the few bosses where when I tell a subordinate what I think, they can tell me that they think I'm wrong and they can act like I'm stupid.
Uh and I I just smile.
Because after 18 years, they still think they have a chance at prevailing.
As I said to Snerdley, I said, look, the drive-bys cannot acknowledge hate on the part of the Hezbos.
Hate.
Hate is bad.
They have made hate a crime in this country.
So they can't acknowledge that the Hezbos hate.
That's why Nasralla is interesting.
So his anti-Semitism is a fascinating aspect of this whole dynamic, this whole rubric, this whole paradigm, this whole context, this whole war.
So anti Semitism, yeah, that's bad, but you know, it's not hate.
It's not hate.
And he can't be hateful because he's being honest.
Anyone who's honest cannot possibly hate.
So, you know, hate is a big obstacle for these and these people.
And do and uh to uh assume that the uh the Hezbos are compelled and motivated by hate would make it difficult for the drive-bys to support them or to be sympathetic.
I'm not kidding.
You if you if you're like Snerdley and you disagree with me, you're gonna have to really think about this.
Uh there are many things that liberals say and do and react to that we all scratch our heads and so forth and don't understand.
But I'm telling you, hate crimes, they they want added penalties if like if you go out and rob somebody, that's fine.
But if they're a different race, and you're the majority race, and you rob them, it's gonna be assumed you targeted them because of their race and you hate them, they're gonna call out a hate crime.
And you get added jail time.
Thank you, liberals.
I mean, that's the way they think about this.
So they want to penalize the way you think.
Well, if they're gonna penalize hate as a thought, they cannot assign it to people that they have invested moral equivalence or even hope.
Yes, I think the Hezbollah have their hope.
To the phones, John and Topeka, your next, and you're first on the EIB network today.
Hi.
Hi, Rush, uh John Cooney, a 10-year, at least a 10-year listener and a daily listener, first-time caller, and a path you can and conservative right up front.
And I'm con and I'm very much concerned about our Middle East policy.
I just see the whole Middle East disintegrating.
And I don't want to get into Rumsfeld, but I do want to think, I think that Israel is falling into the hand, literally, or falling into the playbook of Hezbollah, and I think that it's going to radicalize more of the Middle East.
I think the domino effect is falling backwards on us.
Where am I wrong?
Uh I think in all of it.
Okay.
Uh I think there's a major transformation uh uh going on here that is in the and it's in the early stages uh of remaking the Middle East, and it's not something that should be abandoned uh over Momentary bumps, speed bumps, what have you in the uh in the middle of the road.
In fact, I think Israel is turning this around fast, and Israel is making massive progress.
Israel, I think, is going to neutralize the Hezbows.
Okay, but are we losing the hearts and minds of the average Muslim?
I say we are.
Uh when do we uh have it?
Okay, so you're not gonna be.
When did we have their hearts and minds?
Would do we have their hearts and minds on September 11th?
I saw all the cheering and dancing in the streets in Muslim cities around the world.
When did we have their hearts and minds?
When we when Kennedy was sending milk over there in the 60s?
So how are we going to win their hearts and minds?
If that's the case.
We're not winning it now, and Israel is not helping us win the hearts and minds.
I uh what the the if if that is the objective of the United States to win the hearts and minds of people, and we may as well close up shop and say we're not a superpower, we're gonna build a wall around our country and nobody gets in.
But isn't that a lot of people?
We don't want to mess with the rest of you miscreants in the world because you are scum.
I mean that's that's abst it's absurd to win the hearts and minds.
But Rush, isn't that what George Bush is saying?
We need to democratize and capitalize and win the hearts and minds and say that you guys should adopt our system by what Israel is overdoing.
I don't think we're losing.
I don't hear that that's what the objective is.
It may be one of the uh hoped for ancillaries.
Are we winning it?
Are we winning it?
Uh or should we just give up and just say they're all Muslims, forget it, let Israel and the Muslims all go at it, and then we'll come along and we'll help Israel.
I'm I'm not I'm not saying I'm not a fatalist.
I don't live in the world of pessimism and fatalism.
But you're not a realist.
You're not realizing what's happening over there.
Bull, I am a total realist.
That's the point.
I realize that every day in this country is better today before, and tomorrow's gonna be better than today.
Talking about the Middle East.
And and look at the Middle East could not continue to go on as it is or as it was.
We are a prisoner to it.
We are a prisoner to it.
We it cannot continue to exist as it has.
It's got to change, it's got to reform.
Like New Kingrich, should we have third world war now, basically, is that's what New King Richard is saying.
Let's get it over with before the Muslims get the bottom of the world.
I said on this program on the day the Hezbows stole the uh kidnap the Israeli soldiers.
This is a gift to the world.
And Israel's falling into the radicalization of all of the re moderate Muslims.
They're falling into the gift.
Falling into what?
They are they are playing into the hands of Hezbollah.
They are going to unite the Muslim world even more.
That's the exact opposite of what's happening.
You've got to stop reading people, uh, or just one group of people.
You've got to open your mind here.
The exact opposite of what there's a transformation in that region going on.
Big time.
The Arab League is not behind the Hezbos.
This silly Ahmadinezad is in Malaysia trying to gin up Muslim opposition to Israel because it isn't there.
Because the Arab world is more afraid of Ahmadinezad than it is of Israel.
The Arab world behind closed doors knows that Israel will never make a move on its oil fields, will never make a move to unseat any other Arab country unless they are attacked.
They don't know that about Iran.
They fear just the opposite.
Iran's on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, we're told.
You want to deal with them before or after that?
You want to get out of there and just pretend that they're not hit us if we leave them alone?
You want to sacrifice Israel?
You people get to wake up and start thinking for yourselves and stop being so damn pessimistic and understand that great things are possible from people who make commitments to try to improve things.
I can't stand this pessimism on a daily basis.
I am fed up with it because it represents laziness of thought.
And nobody in this audience is lazy of thought, if I have anything to do about it.
Look it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I I try to maintain my composure, try not to lose my temper.
I don't think I lost my temper.
I was just frustrated there.
If uh sometimes sometimes it happens.
I don't like yelling at people we invite uh to uh call a program.
Uh but sometimes I just uh uh well you know that Emel Gibson lost control out there.
Uh at any rate, for all of you for all of you, oh looky, looky, Sheikh Nosher Nasrallah is gonna speak on Hezbo TV.
Really?
Oh, how excited must the drive-by media be?
What will Sheikh Nosrallah say?
When is this going to happen?
They're not promoting a time.
He's just gonna probably wouldn't get into a studio it's not under assault by the uh by the Israelis.
Look at for All of you people out there in the hearts and minds crowd who are out there, you believe in this this lunacy, this idiocy, this mistaken belief that why we're not winning the minds and hearts of these of these Muslims and Arabs, the way we're going about this.
We're not winning the minds and hearts of anybody.
Caller the other day on this program reminded me there's an age-old philosophy in warfare and marriage.
Grab the enemy by the gonads and a heart will soon follow.
Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
And we're not going to sit here and win wars or win our own peace by getting in a little Oprah encounter groups and asking, what must we do to win their minds and hearts?
Let me the the question ought to be asked by them, what the hell do we do to keep them from coming after us?
They're the ones that keep hitting us.
911, the the uh first World Trade Center 1993.
I want to turn this around.
The question ought to be not why do they hate us and what are we doing?
The question ought to be, what are we going to do about this if it keeps up?
Doesn't matter why they hate us.
The fact is they do, and it's an intolerable circumstance if they start getting nukes, portable and otherwise.
Reality, folks, reality.
It's the only way to solve problems.
Here's John in Flemington, New Jersey.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Yes, sir.
Hey, I have had so much fun listening to the New York news media cover the weather this week.
Every day it's been forecast it's going to be 102.
Four days in a row.
It's Thursday, four days in a row.
It's been 97, 98, and that's plenty hot.
Heat index, heat index, heat index, heat index.
Plus, it was 104 at LaGuardia yesterday.
Was that the heat index?
Well, I think maybe on a runway, uh, you know, if you uh put a thermometer on it.
Well, they do have these official huts out there with the buttons, it was it's hot.
I mean, there's no question it's hot.
I've seen that Con Ed has asked uh uh Eastsiders in Midtown and Upper Manhattan to uh sort of dial back on the uh on the AC.
But now sometimes they're they're even saying they're not giving the temperature, they're saying, but it feels like it feels like 110.
I'm not New York.
I'm glad you 97 is 97.
It's always muggy in the summer in New York.
It's never not muggy.
Yeah, 97, it's always the it feels like 97, and that's real hot.
But it doesn't feel like 110.
They say, but it feels like 110 every night.
Well, it wouldn't feel like 110 unless they told you.
Can somebody tell me where the where where does it what does it feel like thermometer is?
You got the thermometer with a real temperature, but does Walmart sell it?
Does Costco sell it?
Where do you go for the thermometer?
It says feels like.
So they put the thought in your head, they thought the part put the thought in your head, and then if you're overweight, you might have a heart attack trying to get into the shade because it's harder to cool, uh, you know.
Scientists said this the other day in AP.
It's really bad.
You know, in six months, those same reporters are gonna be standing in foot-high snow drifts, telling you in New Jersey that it's snowing.
They are on the job.
They're right there.
I think they're gonna be all disappointed about this uh hurricane that didn't happen.
Uh they'll have to find 20 minutes on the evening news to talk about something else.
But it's just a lot of people.
Don't don't give up on Tropical Storm Chris.
Don't give up.
Let me pretend to be a drive-by media reporter for a second.
I because I folks, I can do this, I know just how to do it.
The National Hurricane Center today suggested that uh Hurricane Chris or Tropical Storm Chris uh is failing to organize upper level wind shear uh has ripped the top off the storm.
Uh experts not sure if it will dissipate or if it will just fade away into a low pressure area.
We here at XBB News will follow the track of this thunderstorm for the next number of days, because ladies and gentlemen, experts have told us that the hot and warm waters of the Gulf could reignite this tropical storm that is dissipating, and it could become the next hurricane Katrina, headed for parts unknown in Louisiana and Texas.
So even though the hurricane center says that the storm is dissipating, other experts are carefully watching to see if it makes it intact enough into the Gulf waters where it could actually intensify and become another killer curricade.
I'm Rush Limbo, XBB News.
Enjoy your day.
I'll let you hear some of Hillary Clinton and her get-out-the-vote speech.
disguised as a statement of criticism of Secretary Rumsfeld, and a couple of his answers.
When we come back from this top-of-the-hour break, uh, and more of your phone calls, the telephone number 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at eibnet.com.
