Time Text
Ha.
How are you?
You are listening to the Rush Limbaugh program.
I am Rush Limboy, your host, a highly trained broadcast specialist, Doctor of Democracy, America's real anchor man serving humanity on a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations daily.
If you want to be on the program, uh 800 282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
I've just been made aware of the fact I missed this.
This uh this uh fraudulent photographer, this Naji Al-Sami Al Mani al-Haliki or whatever his name is that Reuters is dumped for for doctoring and uh and photoshopping a bunch of disaster pictures out of uh out of Beirut and Southern Lebanon had a picture published on the front page of the New York Times yesterday.
After uh uh he did.
It was after Reuters uh this is before Reuters dropped him.
I don't I don't know if the New York Times was even aware of it, but uh just to show you how perverse this stuff is.
Now, I have I don't know if the picture that was uh published in the front page of New York Times yesterday was doctored or not.
But the uh the same disgraced photographer, uh, you can say, having been dumped by Reuters has not been dumped by the New York Times.
They know quality when they see it.
All right, before we get to this book by Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kane, some lifestyle news, ladies and gentlemen.
First from San Francisco.
The nation's pediatricians, that would be uh kid doctors for those of you in Rio Linda.
The nation's uh pediatricians are warning parents today against putting children in shopping carts.
Parents are strongly encouraged to seek alternatives, says the American Academy of Pediatrics, which reports that shopping carts were involved in injuries to more than twenty-four thousand children last year.
That means that shopping carts are wounding more children than ammunition and guns are injuring and wounding people in Iraq.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Just to put it in perspective in context.
Mostly this happens, by the way, when the child falls out of the shopping cart, or when the shopping cart tips over.
But parents who have tried to pick up a couple of things at the store while keeping their children from toppling the displays or playing hide and seek in a clothing racks may find the warning hard to accommodate.
Cheryl Inamoto of Pacifica, as she loaded her trunk at a Walmart in Oakland while admonishing her three-year-old son to sit nicely, please said, So, what are you supposed to do with your kids when you take them into the grocery store at a place that has shopping carts?
Uh Inamoto said, The hell with this.
I think it boils down to parental responsibility.
Why why why tell me I can't put my kid in a shopping cart?
If I'm going to pay attention to do it right, what are you telling me I can't do it for?
Well, Dr. Gary Smith, the lead author of the pediatrician's statement, said that 90% of shopping cart injuries happen with a parent right there.
The best parent doesn't realize how quickly it can happen or how serious the injuries can be, said Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Smith started researching shopping cart injuries after a child in his hospital nearly died from a head injury from a shopping cart fall.
Smith learned that his hospital was seeing one or two such cases every week.
Of the 24,200 children treated last year in U.S. emergency rooms for shopping cart-related injuries, 74% suffered head and neck injuries.
85% of the children were under five, and four percent were injured seriously enough to be admitted to the hospital, according to the uh to the academy.
Well, folks, this is serious stuff.
Uh these shopping carts, you know, that we we're we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
I mean, the homeless have in the past stolen these things from in front of grocery stores, and they use them to carry around all their worthy uh goods and possessions.
And then we've had homeless advocacy groups get mad at grocery stores who want the carts returned, because they cost a lot of money, and and this is a it's a cost down the drain, they have to raise prices in the store.
Uh we have had homeless advocates over the course of the past uh 15 years even suggest that uh giving a shopping cart to the homeless is a homeless person isn't is uh is an article of faith and great compassion.
And we've had stories about the the homeless have trouble lifting the shopping carts over the curb.
Some of them just keep banging the shopping cart into the curb, thinking it'll make it over the curb itself and damaging the wheels.
I mean, I've I can remember all kinds of stories about the homeless and shopping carts.
And they were a good thing.
I was frankly always amazed that human beings who claim to have a bigger heart than I, boo-boom, boo-boom, boom, who have more compassion than I love, love, love.
Actually, would say that giving another human being a shopping cart was an act of compassion.
People like me would look at a homeless person.
What can we do to end this circumstance?
The great compassionate left would say, give that man a shopping cart.
You cold hearted SOB.
But now we learn the truth.
Shopping carts kill, shopping carts wound, shopping carts injure, even when adults are nearby.
The injuries obviously outpacing injuries in Iraq, not deaths, but injuries.
Also from Columbus, Ohio.
We know that smoking can kill, but can it send somebody to death row?
That's the gist of an appeal by lawyers for a man on Ohio's death row.
The lawyers are arguing that jurors became antsy when the judge wouldn't let them take smoking breaks during deliberations.
Lawyers say the dad made them overly eager to finish the case.
After six hours of deliberations, they convicted Philip Elmore of murder and other charges in his ex-girlfriend's death.
A week later, the jury came back and in three hours recommended the death penalty.
The panel was under orders from the judge not to light up during either round of deliberations.
Prosecutors call it a novel approach by the defense, but they believe Elmore's conviction and sentence will stand.
Take them or leave them, but uh I kind of like this one.
Those jurors, hell, they just wanted out of there.
So they railroaded our client to death row.
See how this turns out.
As you remember, ladies and gentlemen, this was the uh uh place, the first place outside of San Francisco where we chronicled the um the uh what is becoming relative uh relatively common surgery uh dubbed by me, the adadictomy uh procedure.
Um it was made famous uh by California's actually San Francisco, I think election supervisor employee or head of the some department head in the city was to be fired.
Uh and she she appealed this because she needed her health benefit package, as offered by the city, to fund uh an adictomy procedure to her uh her girlfriend, a live-in girlfriend.
And the firing came in the midst of the process of the adadicomy.
Apparently, the adictomy operation is not something you're going to get done in one day.
It uh it takes a period of time, I don't know how long.
Uh and it ended up the city said, okay, okay, we well, we kept her on or did something.
Her health benefits, I think, were maintained so that her girlfriend could indeed get the adadictomy procedure.
Well, we have an update here from Olympia uh Washington.
Medicaid officials.
Medicaid, that's the United States government, you people.
Medicaid officials plan to rewrite regulations to make it clear that the state of Washington will no longer cover sex change uh operations, such as the adodictomy or the chopadicophamy.
Uh but before the new regulations are in place, the state will likely have to pay more for surgeries in a pair of rulings issued last month.
A state of Washington Appeals Board ordered Medicaid to pay for two people to travel out of state to undergo either an adodictomy or a chop a dicophony.
The uh the state estimates uh uh involving these procedures, also known as sex reassignment, sir.
That's not what it was called.
Sex reassignment uh this was that was not what it was called.
There was another day anyway.
It will cost 50,000 to $60,000 every operation.
So Medicaid's no way.
No way we're gonna do this.
So apparently this uh this procedure, while uh hunky dory and cool and all that in San Francisco, uh not cool in Washington, at least as far as federal funds are concerned.
Finally, a German scientist has been testing an anti-stupidity pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies.
Uh this, according to the newspaper build.
It said that Hans Hilger Ropers, the director director of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin has tested a pill that thwarts hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve attentiveness.
Yeah, with mice and fruit flies, we're able to eliminate the loss of short-term memory.
Now, how in the world are you gonna measure the memory of a fruit fly?
How you measure the short-term memory of how do you communicate with a fruit fly?
I mean what is what?
I don't know what they were doing.
I think they're all instinct.
Remember what?
What a mice my uh at any rate, uh I just uh want you people to know that aside from real Linda, I have no interest in this.
None of you in this audience would ever need this pill if they if they ever can you imagine can you imagine you talk about a parent watching a kid fall off a shopping cart and we have a problem there.
Can you imagine taking your kid to the doctor?
And the doctor says, your kid's stupid.
Well, no, your your kid we have an anti-stupid pill.
And the parents say, Oh, wow, yes, please prescribe that you I they have run around in the life with stigma attached to my family that my kids needed a stupid pill.
Anyway, brief timeout will be turned right after this with much more broadcast excellence.
Stay with us.
Well, the Israelis have shot down a Hezbo drone that was packed with ex explosives.
Uh the Israelis have bombarded a significant uh section of southern Lebanon and Southern Beirut, actually, and we've got the pictures of the uh civilians running and screaming and bleeding for their lives on uh on television.
And uh this is a great example of the Israelis are not living in the spin world or in the P war PR world.
You know, it wasn't that long ago.
That's how you won wars.
I know it sounds really brutal to uh say it, but that's really how they used to happen, uh folks.
Quickly, uh David in Seattle, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
I got I gotta call you out on your uh economics.
You've always advocated uh free market economics and a company's right to pursue profit, and yet you suggest that if Clinton and the Democrats had got Anwar uh going in the mid-90s, it'd be online now, and we wouldn't be facing these shortages.
And I I think that uh you know nationalizing our oil reserves.
Wait, wait, wait.
All I said was that the 400,000 barrel shortage from the pipeline in the North Slope would be covered.
Not worldwide shortages.
Well, you you've I've listened to your show a long time, and you suggested that ANWAR would be a meaningful input to the oil supply and keep prices from going up as far as they have.
No, and I think simply ridiculous.
Not prices.
I have not said that about private.
I know that and war is a limited amount of oil.
It is, but it's it's it's about as much as we get out of Texas, and that's significant, and it's it would certainly cover what happened to this North Slope accident.
In terms of prices, it would be as silly to assert that as to think that releasing the strategic reserve would have an effect on prices.
That wouldn't either.
Right, right.
And you said that when Clinton released the strategic reserve, I remember that in 99.
Well, well, when Bush thought about doing it too.
But but seriously, Rush, if you have private companies effectively running the ANWAR extraction and processing, how is Anwar going to have any real net effect when world demand for petroleum is far outstripping U.S. demand for petroleum?
I'm talking about the growth of demand.
I never said that and war is the be-all and end all.
And war to me is a symbol.
And war to me, which I think I've been very clear about.
I'm also for exploring the hell out of the Gulf of Mexico.
I'm for exploring the hell off the coast of uh California, Oregon, and Washington.
I'm and Florida, where I live, I'm all For it.
Because I'm sick and tired of being dependent on people who sell their oil to fund terrorism.
I'm fed up with it.
And I'm I'm fed up environmentalists and wackos ending up having such an iron fist over a national defense of this country over foreign policy, which is what it ends up in impacting.
So and war is just a symbol.
We look at and war and we say, there you have it.
It's the environmentalists and the American left who are always demanding that we somehow become independent or go we alternate fuels or whatever.
I know why they're opposed to and war.
They're opposed to companies and corporations profiting, and they are opposed to oil itself.
I know what the environmentalists want.
They want to return to a quote unquote simpler, less advanced lifestyle.
Well, frankly, I'm not going to use leaves from trees for toilet paper, so I'm not interested in these people.
And I'm I'm interested in defeating them.
You get and war going, and you get it it's a it's a first step toward domestic U.S. production, and there's plenty of it to be found and had being increased as well.
And I'm all for that.
Um, oil is the engine that powers or is the fuel that powers the engine of freedom uh throughout the world, free flow of oil at market prices, and all this talk about in energy independence so forth is bogus uh uh if the same people don't allow we can't build a refinery, we can't do Diddley Squat 'cause the environmental uh wackos.
So I'm I'm sorry you've misunderstood me.
Susan in St. Louis, thank you for waiting.
Uh you're up next in the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi.
I I'm uh a rarity a Jewish Republican.
Whoa.
Yeah.
I know three.
Well, now you know four.
I'll tell you though, there are more of us coming out of the woodwork, although I've been a Republican all my voting life.
But I want to thank you seriously from the bottom of my heart, because I've told so many people, listen to Rush.
He he's an honorary Jew.
I you get it about Israel, and people don't get it.
And when somebody like Sidney Blumenthal, I cannot imagine that this moron doesn't get it either.
He gets it, but let me explain Sidney Blumenthal.
Let me explain to people what you mean.
We had this story on Friday.
Sidney Blumenthal uh was big in Hillary's West Wing office.
Uh he's a noted he's just I don't know how to describe him.
He's worse than a liberal.
He's just a nut.
He's just I I think he's one of these guys secretly admires the old days of Stalin and Lenin.
Uh yeah, they called him Grassy Knoll.
I mean, this guy's running this is he's he's just he's just uh beyond description.
At any rate, Sidney Blumenthal wrote a piece, Slate Magazine, Slate.com last week, admitting that the National Security Agency of this country was sharing information with the Israelis on uh Hezbollah troop movements from Syria and Iran.
Uh this compromised the national security effort of the United States.
It also compromised the Israelis, and it let the enemy, the enemy, a bunch of terrorists know exactly how their munitions shipments and supply lines were being tracked.
So you, Susan, want to know why Blumenthal could sell out Israel, could sell out his people.
And I'll tell you the answer.
You want to know it?
It's real simple.
Oh, wait, I I think I know.
He didn't get the anti-stupid pill.
No.
That wouldn't help.
There's not enough there's not a strong enough stupid pill to overcome liberalism.
Oh, you have to do that.
And that's the answer is liberals are liberals first.
Liberals it's almost as though liberalism is their religion before anything else.
Liberals will be liberals before they'll be anything else.
And so uh right now, to liberals, the biggest enemy in the world is George W. Bush.
They are seething with rage and hatred, and they have been for so long that they're the early onset stages of genuine madness.
And they will do anything to destroy George W. Bush, including wreck foreign policy of this country and uh attempt to harm what the Israelis are trying to do in protect their nation.
Uh and that's the answer.
And it really is no more complicated than that.
People try to make it so, but it isn't.
No, I I I agree with you.
However, uh what shocks me, and maybe I'm still a naive person, is that Blumenthal doesn't understand if Israel goes, so does he.
And that's what the world doesn't want to recognize that when when Israel's statement uh and it should be for every Jew is never again.
He doesn't think that.
Uh you'd be you'd be amazed, I've talked to them.
You'd be amazed at a number of uh uh liberal Jewish people who think Israel has no right to exist where it is, that they think Israel has displaced a bunch of uh poor, uh disadvantaged people, uh, and that they're pushing them around and bullying them and uh uh deserve what they get.
I c I I kid you not.
I've I've spent plenty of time talking to him about it.
It's almost a a knee-jerk response.
Victim versus power, they always side with what they think is the victim.
Back in just a sec.
You're guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, terrorism, war, torture, humiliation, plummeting job numbers.
I had another story today about about how the uh job numbers five months high at 4.8%.
They ran the story last week, too.
They won't give up on it.
Now they're coming out of the woodwork.
A Norwegian journalist has admitted that he fabricated interviews with Microsoft's Bill Gates and the Oprah, a media report said today.
freelance writer Bjorn Binkow said in a statement that the interviews published in Norwegian and Swedish media were partially concocted because of financial desperation.
I have met and talked to these global celebrities.
Uh Bjorn Benkow was quoted as saying, but the circumstances and times have not always been as I described.
The acknowledgment came after Microsoft Norway said last week that an interview with Gates printed in the Norwegian magazine Man and the top-selling Swedish tabloid were totally fake.
What I did was done out of desperation, Benkow said, to pay the rent, to pay the electricity, to pay the food.
I had to lie to survive.
Okay, well then we forgive you.
The dirty little secret here is just that we have no clue how widespread this is.
It's just got to be as fraudulent as we imagine it is.
All right.
I have a story here.
This cleared on um August 4th.
Uh the September eleventh Commission was so frustrated with repeated misstatements by the Pentagon and the FAA about their response to the 2001 terror attacks that it considered an investigation into possible deception, the panel's chairman say in a new book.
Republican Thomas Kane, Democrat Lee Hamilton also say in without precedent that their panel was too soft on questioning former New York Mayor Rudolph Rudy Giuliani, and that the 20-month investigation may have suffered for it.
The book, a behind-the-scenes look at the investigation, recounts obstacles the authors say were thrown up by the Bush administration, internal disputes over President Bush's use of the attacks as a reason for invading Iraq, and the way the final report avoided questioning whether U.S. policy in the Middle East may have contributed to the attacks.
Kane and Hamilton said the Commission found it mind-boggling that authorities had asserted during hearings that their air defenses had reacted quickly.
In fact, the Commission determined after it subpoenaed audio tapes that the shoot down order did not reach North American Aerospace Command pilots until after all the hijacked planes had crashed.
All right, just a few observations here.
The first question is, why was the 9-11 Commission report not enough?
Why now do the two commissioners have to write a book about what didn't happen, what did happen, how hard it was why isn't all this stuff in the official report?
And by the way, what in the world did the 9-11 Commission care?
What business is it to determine whether or not whether we went into Iraq has any effect on terrorism against us.
What's the per the 9-11 Commission's not appointed to examine the political aspects of the Bush administration?
But yes, it was.
See, that's the dirty little secret.
The dirty little secret is that the book I want to read is the person on this commission or commission's commissioners on this commission that can tell me why they had had had to put Jamie Gorellick on this commission and was the purpose to cover up for Clinton and his failures in his administration?
That's the cover-up I want to hear about.
I'm curious to know how Jamie Gorellic makes it on this on this commission in the first place.
A behind the scenes look at the investigation.
Internal disputes among who over President Bush's use of the attacks as a reason for invading Iraq.
Was that part of the uh mandate of the 9-11 Commission?
I thought the 9 11 Commission was to find out what the hell happened uh um on 9-11 and and what what prevented us from stopping it?
I mean the effort to purely politicize this is now open and available for all of us to see.
As to this business on Giuliani, the questioning of Giuliani was considered by Kane and Hamilton a low point in the Commission's examination of witnesses during public hearings.
We didn't ask tough questions, nor did we get all the information that we needed to put on a public record.
Commission members backed off Kane and Hamilton said after drawing criticism in newspaper editorials for sharp questioning of New York fire and police officials at earlier hearings.
The editorial said the commission was insensitive to the officials' bravery on the day of the attacks.
Kane and Hamilton say it proved difficult, if not impossible to raise hard questions about 9-11 in New York without it being perceived as criticism of the individual police and firefighters or of Mayor Giuliani.
Again, what does the aftermath of the attacks have to do with stopping them?
What is the aftermath of the attacks and how Giuliani or the cops dealt with something that had never happened before?
How in the world is that going to help us prevent the next one from happening?
Giuliani and the cops and the fireman had nothing to do with stopping the planes from hitting the World Trade Center towers.
Consider this a low why are you guys intimidated by newspaper editorials?
That's quite an admission.
I love that one.
Why we had to we had to stop our intense questioning.
We had to stop our digging deep because of newspaper editors.
Well, thanks for the admission.
Thanks for telling us that the New York Times, the New York Post, the Daily News, the Washington Post, whoever, influenced your whole outcome.
If it influenced this, what else were you intimidated by when it came to editorials from various institutes in the drive-by media?
Here's uh Gary, Greenville, South Carolina, your next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hello, Mega Rush, Baby Ditto's.
Thank you.
And if I may answer that question you just posed before I get to my point uh as to why now with the book, I'd say it's maybe striking why the iron is hot, giving all the buzz about the uh conspiracy about 9-11.
I don't know, maybe opportunism.
Um, but on to my point uh about the Lieberman um Lamont battle, uh, as after as if as if you have so brilliantly uh analyzed, um, if Lamont wins and it takes the Liberals back to the Vietnam era with the Kook fringe and uh uh move on dot org types, that might that's a win for Republicans.
But on the other hand, if uh Lieberman wins, as if I understand it, given all the democratic strategists I've seen, and also all the um democratic senators out there saying if well, if uh Lieberman wins, then um that's gonna be a big hit.
Uh that's that's gonna be bad for the uh anti-war movement also.
I I kind of see it as a net net win for for the Republicans, because if if uh Lamont wins, then it's we're we're able to associate him with uh with the Koop Fringe.
And if Lieberman wins, then it just it's their whole theory about the anti-war anti-war movement is a farce.
Well, it depends on how Lieberman wins, but if Lieberman wins the Democratic primary, your your latter scenario has more impact than if he wins uh as an independent.
Uh if he wins as an independent, the Kooks will simply whoa whoa, whoa, let's go back.
He didn't run as a Democrat.
If he'd have run as a Democrat, he would have been beaten as he was beaten in the primaries.
I understand the point you're trying to make.
Don't expect the Kook fringe to drop whatever their energy is based is being expended on uh by virtue of the outcome in this race.
Remember, these people think they win when they lose.
Yes, you're right.
They prop prop them up.
So I mean, so they're they're they're they're you talk about spin and PR.
Uh no matter what happens in the primary tomorrow, no matter what happens in the general in November, the Cook fringe will say that they've won.
Uh one of the interesting things to me is all of the Democrats in the Senate who have been asked about it say they're not going to support Lieberman if he loses in the primary.
Not going to support him as independent.
They've got to support the nominee of their party.
Uh oh, really?
Uh Senator.
I'm sorry, I made a mistake, ladies.
Let me correct it right now.
Senator Daniel, in no way uh of Hawaii said that he would support Lieberman regardless uh him running as a Democrat or an independent.
Um another another way to look at this.
Uh Bill Clinton went in there to campaign for Lieberman.
Can somebody point out to me the last Democrat candidate Clinton endorsed who won?
His wife, right.
Did he endorse her?
Or just campaign for.
Uh of course his wife, but uh, I mean, I just in the strength of that.
I'll I want to I want to tell you something.
I'm gonna prepare you for something that I think might be on the Democrat's agenda.
I have no clue how this race is going to come out tomorrow.
Remember the latest Quinni Pact poll has Lieberman now cutting that big lead Lamont had in half.
And pollsters will tell you that you you study the momentum of late late season polls to tell you where they things are headed, not not the actual result.
If Lieberman in one week has reduced a 13-point lead to six points, uh then they'd tell you, well, the Mo is on Joe's side, and anything can happen now.
Uh a lot of experts will tell you that they didn't ever think this was going to be a runaway by a no-name, no heard of guy like Ned Lamont.
But if it is, let's let's just say that it is.
Let's say Lamont does win huge and the latest Q poll is wrong, and let's say he is a double-digit winner.
I will make this prediction to you now.
That somebody, the Democratic Party, and it'll probably be Der Schlieckmeister, will go to Lieberman and say, for the good of the party, don't do this.
Don't run.
Don't run as independent.
Don't do this.
You were soundly defeated in a primary.
Accept it and move on.
Uh we'll find a place for you somewhere.
Uh whatever.
Just as happened to Andrew Cuomo, just as happened to the torch.
Uh we won't know on this one for quite a while, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if maybe uh conversations like that had already been discussed.
But we'll see.
I'm not I'm not convinced that Lieberman's gonna lose this.
Uh everybody else is, and I'm not convinced it's gonna be huge.
But if it is, if it is huge, uh the uh the the if you're gonna talk about the political benefit to the Republicans will be obvious if Lieberman loses huge.
The benefit there is benefit of him winning too, and that is uh his attitude on American foreign policy and national security.
Anyway, I appreciate the uh the call out there, Gary.
A quick timeout will be back and continue El Quico.
Mambo number five.
Our old buddy Lou Bega and Rush Limbaugh, and we are back.
I'm going to go From the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Hmm.
A story here in the uh in the Boston Herald.
This is uh from today, it's in their business section, uh columnist.
Uh and uh is a business section Yeah, uh Brett Arons, uh Boston Herald Business Columns.
Check the headline here.
Hayton on Hillary, New Hampshire Democrats, lamb-based Clinton.
Dateline, Manchester, New Hampshire.
Dick Bennett has been polling New Hampshire voters for thirty years, and he's never seen anything like it.
Lying B.I. itch, shrew, Machiavellian, evil power mad witch, the ultimate self-serving politician.
No prizes for guessing which presidential frontrunner drew these remarks in focus groups, but these weren't Republicans talking about Hillary Clinton.
They weren't even independents.
These were ordinary grassroots Democrats, people who identified themselves as likely voters in New Hampshire's pivotal Democrat primary.
And behind closed doors, this is what nearly half of them are saying.
I was amazed, said the polster Dick Bennett.
I thought there might have been some negatives, but I didn't know it would be as strong as this.
It's stunning similarities between the Republicans and the Democrats, the comments that they have about her.
Bennett runs American Research Group, Inc., a highly regarded independent polling company based in Manchester, has been conducting voter surveys since 1976.
The polls are financed by subscribers and corporate sponsors.
He so far recruited 410 likely voters in the 2008 Democratic primary, sat down with them privately in small groups to find out what they really think about the candidates and the issues.
His conclusion: 45% of the Democrats are just as negative about Hillary as Republicans are.
More Republicans dislike her, but the Democrats dislike her in the same way.
And we're not talking about soft negatives like, say, out of touch or arrogant.
We're talking criminal, megalomaniac, fraud, dangerous, devil incarnate, satanic, power freak.
so Satanic and political uh ho.
It's spelled here WH asterisks.
It's it's it's it but there apparently people in this group called her a political prostitute.
Um Bennett says he's never before seen so many New Hampshire voters show so much hatred toward a member of their own parties.
Never never ever seen anything close to it.
New Hampshire's small, but it's a bellwether state with clout.
Its primary probably holds the key to the Democratic nomination.
And New Hampshire alone swung from Bush to Carrie in 04.
It's hard to see any Democrat winning the White House without carrying the state in the presidential election, and it's hard right now to see Hillary carrying the state.
Again, this is a uh Boston Herald business columnist Brett Arons uh published this very day.
Ladies and gentlemen, and let's let's let's just see if um this column ends up being or or this pollsters work.
Let's let's see if that ends up being a discussion item.
Uh other than on Fox News.
Let's see if the drive-by media decides to report the results of this and start having discussions.
Bill Schneider at CNN.
Let's see if he hears about this and if he finds it interesting and fascinating, and starts doing his own polling data.
My guess is somebody's gonna go do some polling data up there to refute this right fast.
And uh be set up there by Mrs. Clinton.
And if they don't go there fast, testicle lockbox time.
Uh Joe in Rockville, Maryland.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Roger.
How are you?
Thank you, sir.
And a good day.
Uh your call strainer told me to get right to the point.
I understand the show means real quickly.
I'm a longtime listener.
Um I've been listening to your show and and many others, and and as much as uh our president's strategy.
Um after 9-11, he went before Congress.
