| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, uh even those of you who are engaging in fantasies about now, I can I can understand that.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, and it's Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
She won't look at me.
Ah, yes, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, folks, open line Friday.
You know the rules?
Whatever you want to talk about, Fair Game, 800-282-2882.
Email address rush at EIBNet.com.
I need to explain this last call to you, uh, folks.
I it was it was a I I was confused from the get-go.
What was the gentleman's name?
Last caller?
Joe Fenn, he was from Michigan somewhere, is that right?
Uh the um uh uh I there on on the on my screen here with all the callers, that there's a subject line.
And the subject line of there led me to believe that he was going to ask my reaction to the jobless numbers that came out today.
Uh and so what when when uh when he started I was totally I I thought maybe the original caller had hung up and a different caller had made it through.
Uh and I was uh with my tinnitus today, was having trouble understanding everything he was saying, and so I was just waiting for him to get to what I thought the point was, uh was jobless numbers and so forth.
And he asked me to take a sip of uh of whatever it was I was drinking here.
I had I just totally never connected with the with the poor guy, and I feel badly about it because uh I I think now what he was trying to do, he was trying to get plugged for his business, and he's got MS, and he was he was, and I thought he was asking me what he could do to help his family.
I just it was a total disconnect uh product of uh of many things.
So I wanted to apologize to all of you and to him.
Uh I I did hear him say to you, can I give the phone number out for my business, and that came out of the blue to me?
Uh and I wouldn't do that to anybody.
I mean, it he'd he'd get more grief if we did that than uh uh than anything he can imagine.
Uh did he say he's got a website?
Did he say what his business is?
I'm curious about that too.
Well right.
Well, I know it he that's it's it what that's what confused me too, because he he started out talking about uh the auto worker that was unemployed, and and I thought, oh, now he's gonna start complaining to me about being too hard on that guy.
I mean, it was a total disconnect uh with with the call.
Uh as an it was an utter failure on the part of the host in in in understanding what was going on here.
Um so I'll apologize to the caller, and if we find out what if we can find a way of finding out what his business is, I'd be happy to plug the business, but I I'm not I'm not gonna give out a phone number.
Uh I've just that as I he'd never he wouldn't for all the good it it it he'd have to change the number in two hours.
Uh nobody could get through.
He'd be answering a phone for a year.
And it'd be move on.org types, giving him grief for listening to the program.
I mean, and and things like that.
So at any rate, want to move on.
Mrs. Clinton, uh you want a case study in how a news story is created and how it is sustained.
Mrs. Clinton uh last night said that Rumsfeld should resign.
So big deal.
Join the club who hasn't said he should resign.
There have been a number of people before Mrs. Clinton say the reason that it's big news is because she's a Clinton, and she's the presumed Democratic Party presidential nominee.
And this gives a sign.
This gives us an indication of the direction the party is moving.
And if that's true, then it means the party is moving back to its kook base and its anti-war platform, uh, which means that Hillary's attempts to go to the center and to the right on abortion were a crock all along.
But back to Rumsfeld, why in the world should Donald Rumsfeld resign?
Uh has anybody caught him with his pants down in the office with an intern?
Uh has he been selling military secrets uh to the Chicoms for campaign donations to President Bush?
Has has Rumsfeld lied before a Senate committee while under oath?
Uh Or to a grand jury?
I don't know.
Was he called in the Valerie Plame uh uh investigation by Patrick Fitzgerald?
Did he lie to that grand jury?
Did he uh has he been coaching um uh other uh people in his office to lie at press briefings or or what have you?
Has has he been um has he been selling uh uh uh Pentagon paraphernalia, memorabilia, even rooms uh to campaign contributors so people can spend the night in the Pentagon to see what that's he's been doing any of that?
Uh as as is somebody accused him of rape?
Did I did I did I miss that?
Has uh has somebody accused him of sexual harassment just would somebody tell me why uh Donald Rumsfeld should resign.
Because I I uh I must have missed a lot.
Here's how this played out last night on ABC's Word News tonight.
The fill-in anchored Diane Sawyer.
Now, this is rich.
Diane Sawyer talking to George Stephanopoulos, who used to be one of the grunts for the Clintons in the White House, is now an accredited objective and doesn't have any interest in the outcome of events.
Journalist, commentator, host of a Sunday show.
And so you have Diane Sawyer asking Stephanopoulos.
George, we've got some breaking news tonight.
We have some breaking political news tonight, George.
That's right, Dan.
And you saw Senator Clinton in a hearing earlier today.
Now, for the first time, she has called on President Bush to accept Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation.
She has resisted that for the last three years.
She's calling for it now.
The chances of President Bush accepting that advice are about zero, but it's a dramatic sign of how much the support for this war effort is slipping on Capitol Hill.
Really?
Is it is that what it means, or is it just Mrs. Clinton sending a message, you idiot, to her kook base out there on the blogosphere, trying to let them know she's doing the right thing.
This is this is I think she's trying to keep Lamont from getting too much news coverage here.
By the way, this guy Lamont, this guy's a piece of work, this guy running against Lieberman.
He's out there ripping Walmart to shreds.
He owns Walmart stock.
Uh 31, 35,000 worth of Walmart stock, and he bought it himself.
It's not part of a fund that does the buying, and he doesn't know what they're buying.
He purposely bought it for himself, his wife, and one of his kids.
31 to 35,000 in Walmart stock, meanwhile he's running around ripping Lieberman because Lieberman accepted a thousand dollar donation from a Walmart pack.
Uh Walmart, the dreaded enemy of the Democratic Party, and here now they're anti-war standard bearer, you could say is one of the owners of uh of Walmart.
At any rate, today's show today, Matt Lauer interviewing Howard Fineman.
Lauer says, let's start with this confrontation between Senator Clinton and Rumsfeld.
This isn't the first person to call for Rumsfeld's resignation, but at some point do you think it's a possibility, especially in a near term?
Hillary Clinton is the exquisitely balanced center of gravity of the Democratic Party, Matt.
Now, in the tape a minute, remember that, because there's a soundbite coming up.
She is the exquisitely balanced center of gravity of the Democratic Party.
All right, resume tape.
...have been moving steadily, surely in the direction of flat-out opposition to the war, calling for withdrawal of troops, and focusing on Rumsfeld.
It's much more significant than Hillary's doing it, because she's the front-runner for the Democratic nomination and an indicator of where the party's heading.
Where did we just hear that?
Uh Matt Wauer talking to uh uh Feynman says, well, it's is she doing some grandstanding here to repair the damage she did with those anti-war liberals in the past?
Hillary is exquisitely balanced as a political figure, always trying to find the exact middle of where she wants to go.
Where she wants to go as the Democratic nomination as she's been calibrating it all along.
Yeah, right.
I think Hillary's talking to her husband minute by minute.
Right.
He's out there sensing what the politics are.
Don't forget the Joe Lieberman, Ned Lamont primary in Connecticut, Matt.
Every Democrat is watching those results.
That'll be the most important thing in determining their strategy for the fall.
It's a primary.
It's a primary, Howard.
It's not a general election.
Anyway, these guys if if they think they're gonna win by uh going going left.
You know, they they they just do this.
The election that he's talking about is two years away.
Do you know how much can happen between now and two years when it comes to the wall or foreign policy or what have you?
Hillary's not I mean, she's running for re-election in New York, but it's, you know, it's not a uh it's foregone conclusion.
Uh all right, Hillary Clinton of the exquisitely balanced uh center of gravity of the Democratic Party.
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say we are American and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.
I don't know if you've seen this story out of uh out of Rome.
But even if you have, you haven't really heard it until you've heard my reaction to it.
An Italian resort plans to create all female beach sections for Muslim women wishing to shed their headscarves and their long robes to enjoy the sun in privacy, officials said.
What are they gonna call it Burka Beach?
Uh a resort town on Italy's eastern coast will let hotels set up partitions on the shoreline to satisfy requests from growing numbers of Arab and Muslim tourists.
Now, I don't know what your reaction to this is, but I'll tell you what mine is.
I'll bet you that the Saudis are not going to create a bunch of beaches where Western women can wear bikinis with men present, and everybody can read a Bible if they want to.
You think that'll ever happen.
Uh why are we catering here to a culture that has sworn our extermination?
Well, maybe maybe if we're nice rice, they'll see that we pose no threat.
Okay.
Keep thinking that way.
And you're going to become irrelevant sooner than you even know.
All right, time for our daily debunking of global warming.
People swell.
By the way, dry by media is just depressed.
The heat wave's broken in the Midwest.
Just and it just it's over.
And it broke in Boston.
It was 69 degrees this morning in Boston.
And it's in the 80s in New York.
It's going to be in the 80s all weekend in New York.
It's a sad day out there for the drive-by media.
Hurricane fizzled out.
Uh, you just can't count on disasters when you need them.
Especially when Bush's on vacation.
Wouldn't it be great if the hurricane revs back up in Bushes and Crawford doesn't care?
Wouldn't it be great heat wave goes nuts again and Bush stays in Crawford and doesn't care?
That's what they're hoping for.
They want a disaster during Bush's vacation because they think Bush doesn't do disasters as well as Bill Clinton did.
Anyway, people sweltering from a heat wave in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. might find cold comfort in the fact that the temperatures of the past few days are not anywhere near the hottest on a record.
That honor belongs to a summer 76 years ago, decades before the controversy over man-made global warming began.
Patrick Michaels, senior fellow environmental studies at the Cato Institute, said from June 1st to August 31st of 1930, 21 days had high temperatures that were 100 degrees or above in Metro Washington, D.C. That summer has never been approached, and it's not going to be approached this year.
Between July 19th and August 9th of 1930, heat records were set on nine days, and they remain unbroken more than 75 years later.
That's hot, added Michaels, who also serves as a professor at Virginia Polytech Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Here are just the numbers.
Highest temperature recorded anywhere on Earth was Azizia, Libya, September 1922, 136 degrees.
1922, long before man made global warming.
Highest temperature.
Well, uh, it was in the desert.
It probably felt like 136, probably wasn't a whole lot of humidity there.
Uh they didn't have field light thermometers back then.
There was no such thing as the heat in there.
It was just damn hot.
Uh the highest temperature recorded in the United States, 1913.
134 degrees, Death Valley, California.
These records have not even come close to having been broken.
Nor does that 21 day stretch with a hundred degrees or more in Washington in 1930.
This this summer doesn't even touch it.
In terms of number of days over 100 degrees.
Uh amazingly, what there was one similarity.
Both Washington, New York, the whole East Mid Atlantic coast this year and in 1930, it's amazing coincidence.
These high temperatures happened in July and August.
That's a stunner.
Umon in Orange County, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Um, Raj, thank you for taking my call.
Your bet, sir.
Uh, Rosh, uh, a few callers ago, uh uh a gentleman called, and his solution to the Iran Iran crisis was to make perhaps for Israel or other countries to attack the nuclear facilities uh of Iran.
Uh I I was gonna uh give you my opinion about that, and let me preface this by saying that uh I'm an Iranian American, uh have been in the United States for thirty years, I'm a citizen, and uh uh myself and quite a few uh uh other people for the last four years uh we've been working in an organization that I'm not allowed to give that name, Mr. Sterling said don't say the name for propaganda, but with the sole mission of removing Islamic Republic of Iran.
And uh I was gonna give you my two cents on that, which is based on hard facts.
But they must be separated.
Uh hello?
Yes.
Yes, that's that's why I'm on the cell phone.
No, no, no.
They're probably being bugged or I am one of the don't worry about it, there's nothing they can do to you.
Thank you.
But but uh the American people must distinguish between the Iranian people and the ruling party, which is basically running a dictatorship inside Iran.
Uh there are hard facts and people like the uh uh Mr. Constantine Mag uh Mangus, who you know died a few years ago, they have proof that the Iranian government is really and has been behind just about fifty or sixty percent of the insurgencies inside Iran.
About uh uh from the three or four hundred radio and TV stations currently running in Iraq, over half of that is funded and run by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Right.
Right.
They prepared themselves for the elections, and they're gonna uh they just uh had two thousand volunteers suicide.
What we we know this.
What what is your theory on on uh uh I I better know where you're going.
You're you're you're gonna tell me that that we can't do this militarily, that that getting rid of Iran militarily is not the way that's going to happen.
Yeah, exactly.
And our solution is based on hard fact is civil disobedience with a fraction of the cost that it's being going on, uh it's spending on Iran, and without really any American soldiers' blood being shed.
Uh seventy percent of the Iranian population are under the age of thirty-five.
There are demonstrations just about every day inside Iran from students from nurses and uh workers and everything else.
There are organizations like ourselves and many who know the culture who have been working on civil disobedience plans, and we even have had some pilot programs because of the fact that we have to.
Okay, let me ask you a quick question.
Yes.
Um, and I know Michael Ladin, National Review Online also recommends helping to foment this unrest and have it grow and and pr and prosper and so forth.
He argues against a military incursion into Iran.
I don't know what to do.
I'm not I'm not uh it's not above my pay grade.
Well, it's below my pay grade, but uh not my qualification.
Anyway, do you really think that uh uh uh people can bring down in terms of civil disobedience you got 30 seconds?
Can people using civil disobedience bring down that government?
Uh absolutely yes, because once the people get in the streets, the United the Islamic Republic has two choices.
Either they will start massacring hundreds of thousands of people where where the world will not stand, and whether it's the UN, U.S., NATO, or whoever, then have to come in, but they will see that the people have ridden.
That would be the day.
That that would be an it just to see what would happen.
Uh not to the Iranian people, but to the world if there was unrest inside around.
I can't believe the mullah would allow it.
I I just can't believe that.
I I hope people like you are right in this.
Something has to happen and will soon.
Thank you.
Thank you, serving humanity.
El Rushball with half my brain.
Just uh to make it fair.
Well, here we go from the for the lifestyle stack.
Um, it's just getting a point.
You shouldn't.
You just should not believe anything anybody ever tells you.
Other than me.
Uh in the drive by.
I mean, look at the vitamin supplements do not work and and may do more harm than good, experts have warned.
This is uh from the UK's Daily Mail.
Uh the tablets taken by millions of health conscious Britons each day do nothing to stave off illness, say the experts.
In fact, vitamin C and E, uh compounds known as antioxidants, may actually cause some illnesses.
And the rest of the story goes on to just rip into antioxidants.
Worst thing you can do.
Um while vitamins may ward off disease in a test tube, they do little to protect it in everyday life, according to New Scientist.
The magazine says that cranberry capsules, effervescent vitamin C, pomegranate concentrate, beta carotene, selenium, grape seed extract.
Are there actually some of you people eating grape seed extract?
Uh high dose vitamin E, pine bark extract, and B spit.
You eat B spit.
You eat B pollen?
That's well, that's what B pollen is.
It's B spit.
Uh at any rate, uh you name it.
If it's an antioxidant, we'll swallow it with a bucket load.
We've become antioxidant devotees, but are they doing us any good?
Evidence gathered over the last few years shows that at best, antioxidant supplements do little or nothing to benefit our bodies and our health.
True, I mean, they they knock the wind out of free radicals in a test tube, but once they're inside the human body, they seem strangely powerless.
Many scientists concluding that they are a waste of time and money.
Then they go on to rip into vitamin E here.
And vitamin C, vitamin C controversial.
A recent American study suggesting it may speed up um arteriosclerosis or arterosclerosis or hardening of the arteries in diabetics.
Uh let's see, what is vitamin?
Vitamin E is really bad.
One of the most high-profile offenders is vitamin E. Became very popular in the 1990s.
But two studies involving more than 127,000 participants found those with a diet high in vitamin E were at less risk of heart attacks and strokes.
However, most studies since then have failed to make the link.
One concluded the vitamin increased the risk of heart failure.
I can't weigh in on this personally.
I don't take vitamins.
I've always thought it's a bunch of hogwash.
Uh and I don't get sick.
I mean, I don't get colds, I don't get the flu, I don't get any of that stuff.
Yes, I lost.
Well, once in a while I get a cold, but you know what?
I actually think nicotine.
Every time I've quit smoking when I when I quit, I smoked cigarettes for 16 years.
When I quit, everybody said, Oh, that's the greatest thing you can do.
You're gonna I'm sure it was a wise thing to do, but I was for five years perpetual cold.
It was just uh anyway, the miraculous benefits I didn't see.
Uh I started smoking cigars, what about 12 years ago?
Ten years, 12 years ago.
And I I mean, I get c I get a cold, you know, I go and get Zycam and it zaps it.
But I don't get them much.
I don't get that sick.
I only fake it.
Uh when I need to get sick, but I No, seriously, I've never been a vitamin guru.
I've I've uh people swallow these things left and right.
My anyway, the point is, what are you gonna do now?
Vitamins could make you sick, according to New Scientist Magazine.
After all these years of you thinking.
Well, it may be a lot of baloney, but what are we to believe?
There these are experts, Mr. Snurtley, experts.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, I'm uh ladies and gentlemen, I'm I'm I'm I'm not gonna announce my e-harmony profile today simply because it's the the mood isn't right.
It wasn't like yesterday.
I want to wait on this till next week when the mood is right.
This uh this this trust my instincts on this, but I can tell you.
I can tell you right now that I can there's a woman I know that will never fit the profile.
Headline woman gets stuck on toilet, suffers burns.
A woman who became stuck to a toilet seat.
How in the world do you do that?
Uh in a shopping mall restroom was treated at a local hospital after paramedics used fingernail polish remover to f oh, it was a prankster that did it?
I just read the headline and I said, gee, where did this happen?
I hope it's a blue state, but it wasn't.
It was uh it was uh Nebraska.
Fifty-three year old Council Bluffswoman suffered burns to her skin in the incident, which happened Wednesday.
Investigators said they believe someone placed a cement compound on the toilet seat in a restroom at the mall of the bluffs.
Rename it to the Mall of the Buffs.
Investigators say they are treating the case as uh as uh an assault and vandalism.
The woman who wasn't identified told a TV station that the burns are painful.
The inf incident was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life I can imagine.
Speaking of potties, uh residents of a Cambodian village, you think your life's tough?
The residents of a Cambodian village are going to throw a party this week and to celebrate a sanitation milestone, a toilet in every home.
All ninety-four families in Sling Village in Campong Spew Province have installed a simple latrine in their homes to deal with solid human waste, making the village a model of good hygiene for neighboring communities.
This from the UN Children's Organization.
Hilda Winarta, UNICEF water and sanitation officer, said the latrines are simple.
They are holes in the ground, surrounded by walls made from tree leaves or plastic sheets, but they can help prevent outbreaks of dangerous diseases.
The village will celebrate its achievement Saturday with ceremonies and speeches by the village chief, government officials in UNICEF.
A local comedian will perform.
Village actors will perform a short play about the village residents and how they will no longer have to defecate outdoors.
I would love to see that play.
So you you you think we got economic woes in this people are throwing a party here because all ninety-four people in the village finally have an indoor hole in the ground.
It's not even a toilet.
Hi, yay.
Joe in Kansas City, Missouri.
Welcome, sir to Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Mega mega former long-haired maggot infested dope smoking, exquisitely unbalanced to the right ditto, right?
Great to have you, sir.
Thank you.
Listen, um, unlike the uh callers that you've talked to the past few days, the Buchanan supporters, I consider myself a staunch uh Rush Limbaugh conservative.
Thank you.
Very wise.
Um but on the other hand, and I and I always appreciate your po your ability to uh just view the news and the world in a in a positive light.
Right.
Uh but I want to confess and just set before you um some of my my questions that I've had lately.
Uh my understanding, I I think.
Hang on just let me get a paper and a pencil to write them down.
Okay, go.
All right.
I support democracy, I believe in freedom, but my understanding of democracy is that in order for it to work, the people that uh are governed need to be rational.
Uh well, you know, I've read the founding documents, and I don't see that word in there.
Okay, well, let me ask you this question, Rush.
I I I've been here's where I'm coming from.
I've been involved in uh Christian ministry.
I've been reaching out to Muslims for the past several years.
Um I just released a Book uh that examines the end time beliefs of Muslims.
And uh it seems like the more that I understand the more that I study the source text of Islam, the more that I understand the ideology that's being taught all over the Middle East, the more it's difficult for me to really believe that if you give these people the right to vote, that they're necessarily going to do what is best for us.
And uh I recently read a book by Robert Baer, he's a former CIA.
Oh, you shouldn't have said that.
Is he a bozo?
Yeah, shouldn't have said that.
Uh go ahead, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Well, I mean, he he expresses this opinion.
He he expresses that in in many cases, you know, and he uses Syria as an example that look at Syria.
Now, uh Assad's dad, when he had some of the uh Islamic militants, you know, back in the I don't know if it was the 70s or 80s try to assassinate him, he basically chased those guys down and he leveled an entire town.
And what they're saying is that basically it's much better to have a bunch of third-rate military dictators ruin with an iron fist uh than it is necessarily to give these people the freedom to have free reign and to you know vote in Ahmadinejad or any of these types of.
Well, I don't know where to start here.
I uh the sounds to me like the crux of your point or your question is uh maybe we just doing this wrong.
Maybe let's just install some more dictators that are a little bit better.
And uh there's some dictators that are sympathetic to the United States and have them rule these people with an iron fist, and if they get out of line, bring back the dungeons.
Um all of this is to be done in our interest, because those people are simply incapable of freedom.
They've grown up, they've been inundated with the Muslim uh religionslash ideology all of their lives, and then one day somebody tells them they're free, and they don't know what to do with it.
And so they start killing each other and warring things out.
Last time I looked, there were legitimate elections in Iraq.
And the last time I looked, the turnout was higher than it is in the United States of America.
And the last time I looked, the things going on in Iraq are pretty common with what happens in emerging democracies.
The idea that we're doing all of this strictly for us, I think is a misunderstanding.
Uh there's no question the policy is ambitious.
But where are we going to find dict where are we going to find dictators that we like and install them?
I mean, we're that's that's what we're being accused of imposing freedom and democracy around the world.
I I have a uh a basic problem when I hear people they said it about Soviet Union when that went kaput, hey, people don't know what to do with freedom.
Leftists were saying leftists were saying it'll never work.
They're used to being given everything.
Yeah, given nothing, but still given it.
Uh I've, you know, the I do believe that human beings are pretty much the same in terms of a of a spiritual yearning to be free.
I think it's natural.
Uh the history of the world is all about that.
Uh and the ongoing unrest that's happening in Iran right now, which is not talked about much, but our previous caller was exactly right about it, it is happening, and it's happening in large numbers, is all based on that.
Um I don't know of a good dictator other than me.
You know, I'm a benevolent dictator the way I run this program, but but I don't know that you know I can ride herd on you people.
Uh I don't know.
I I I think that the the uh the sentiment that's out there that this isn't working is premature, and it's based in fear, and fear is an obstacle to completing anything, and the only other outcome is to quit, and that guarantees defeat.
So while it may sound lofty, yeah, you know what, we cause ourselves a lot less trouble, find a dictator we can control, some puppet like a Yende, put him in there and have him whip these people Into shape and get that country into shape and then uh deal with the uh Iranians and so forth.
Uh I th I think if we, in a practical sense, if we actually did that in if we put in a puppet dictator, if we installed a puppet dictator in Iraq, uh that was demonstrably pro-American and demonstrably on our side and so forth, this guy wouldn't be alive two days from now.
The Iranians would take him out, an IED or whatever on his uh car.
I you know, this plans in action.
There's a major transformation over there taking place.
And as uh uh Margaret Thatcher said to George H. W. Bush on the eve of the first Gulf War.
No time to go wobbly, George.
What is this rot gut?
I'm just kidding.
It just sounds so odd today with my tenetis.
Anyway, welcome back, Rushlin boy, your guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, despair, quitters, winners, and even the good times.
800 282-2882.
All right, look, I know I screwed up.
Council Bluffs is in Iowa.
I know it's not Nebraska.
The toilet seat, babe.
Problem is it's an Omaha mall she was in, or some she was uh uh the mall of the No.
That it was a the Nebraska TV station.
An Omaha TV station covering it as a Nebraska date line here.
That's why Council of Bloom.
I know my geography.
Don't insult me by correcting me, okay?
Something as silly as that.
Uh hiring slowed in July.
This is what I thought the poor guy from Michigan was going to talk about.
Hiring slowed in July as employers added just one hundred and thirteen thousand new jobs, propelling, get this.
Propelling the unemployment rate to a five-month high of four point eight percent.
Providing fresh evidence that companies are growing cautious amid high energy prices, wages grew solidly.
This is statistically full employment, ladies and gentlemen.
Propelled the unemployment rate to a five-month high of four point eight percent.
They have port news as well.
The Department of Homeland Security planned to require port workers to carry tamper-proof photo ID cards, has numerous security problems that threaten to delay it, investigators said Thursday.
I'm just gonna tell you people one thing.
If that Dubai Outfit had succeeded in getting management control over the uh over these uh ports and uh uh some of these um uh terminals, we wouldn't have any security problems.
Here is uh uh Najat in College Station, Texas.
Welcome to the EIB network and open line Friday.
Hello, Raj, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Okay, I know we don't have much time.
I just wanted to say thank you, thank you about what you said earlier to the gentleman who said uh supposedly because the more he knew about the Islam and Muslim people, the more he thought that we uh say we because I am I was raised Muslim, we wouldn't know what to do with freedom, and that's really wrong.
And you'd prefer to be under the dictatorial control of a tyrant.
Yes.
No, uh I'm I mean No, that's what he was saying.
Yeah, that that's yeah, and that's what what he's saying, but it's made basically that that he's very wrong.
It's just the way they work, it's very hard to get out of there.
No, I understand.
I I think it's uh uh anybody that watches uh the and of course, you know, the militant Islam, the the the the Islamofascists as they're now being called anybody who thinks that people who live under them are happy and productive and can't wait to get up every day.
Um I mean, you you could you could if we had more time, I'm sure you can tell us stories about you're talking about it's it's all subjugation, it's all it's all mind control.
These these people are uh raised with with uh incomprehensible amounts of hate.
Uh and they're being raised for that that purpose.
They're I mean any group of people that will put bombs on their own kids uh and and go and blow them up.
I I could think that's uh uh a lasting and suitable uh circumstance.
By the way, installing our own dictator, uh there is an instance, you be the judge of whether it worked or not.
Uh, we tried that in Iran with the guy called the Shah.
And uh you couple uh wrong dictator, or even a good dictator with the wrong president like Jimmy Carter, and the world can blow up on you real fast.
All right, my friends, hope you have a uh wonderful weekend.
We're we're just uh like a week away from the NFL exhibition season starting.
See you back here on Monday, rev it back up.
