You're tuned to the leading Radio Talk Show in America, a program with the most knowledgeable and informed audience in all of broadcast media, according to the Pew Center.
For people in the press.
This is the Rush Limbaugh program, and that audience is you.
And we here couldn't be happier and more proud.
Or prouder.
Whatever.
And frankly, we're not surprised by any of it.
800 282-2882.
You want to be on the program, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Well, the uh the Israelis have uh come through with their their uh uh commitment here to expand the scope of the ground war.
Tanks, armored personnel carriers have been rolling into Southern Lebanon for a while now.
The uh the leader of the Hezbows, Sheikh Nozair Nasrallah, has said that uh Southern Lebanon will become a graveyard for Israeli uh soldiers.
So the uh uh ground war is heating up uh as many have uh thought that it might.
In the meantime, um the uh uh the the French are all upset at the lingo in the uh in this resolution.
Uh the other aspects of the uh of the uh effort to come up with a resolution here appear to be teetering.
Lebanon's government should guarantee the withdrawal of Hezbollah gorillas fighting Israeli forces at the same time as sending the National Army into the south of the country, the French said today.
Foreign Minister Philippe Dustablaise, and of course that's just an Anglicized pronunciation of the name, because I frankly like the way it sounds.
Philippe Dusteblaisi said that Beirut's offer to deploy 15,000 troops in southern Lebanon was a significant development as it had been taken by a government that included Hezbol ministers.
Um bottom line is this amounts to nothing.
These troops, as uh pointed out yesterday, did nothing all of these years.
This is uh this is a status quo proposal that the French are making simply to make sure that the status quo remains.
15,000 Lebanese soldiers aren't gonna do anything to stop the Hezbows.
This is uh this is a trick.
Not gonna happen.
In addition, the United States and France appeared to be at odds today over Arab demands to change a UN resolution that they're co-sponsoring to call for a complete cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
France proposed new language and a total ceasefire and Israeli pull-out, but the Americans rejected it out of concern that without a robust international force, a vacuum would be created in Southern Lebanon, which is a Hezbolla stronghold, the diplomats said.
Both countries welcomed Lebanon's announcement that it would uh deploy its 15,000 soldiers.
That announcement not welcomed here at the EIB network in our diplomatic uh unit.
Uh U.S. doesn't believe this force, and UN peacekeepers can prevent a vacuum without the international force, the diplomats said.
The bottom line is that this peace process and these resolutions are going nowhere because here we are with the United States.
We came up, we thought we had an agreement with the French.
Uh it would allow the Israelis to stay where they are in Southern Lebanon until the international force got there, and now but it wants the uh Israelis out before the international force gets there.
And now they want the 15,000 strong Lebanese army, at least 15,000 members of the Lebanese Army to go in there and keep the peace, which of course um won't happen.
All this happening while um the Israelis have rejected the troop pull out uh until the peacekeepers are in place.
At the rate that we're going here, the peacekeepers won't be in place at the rate.
There aren't any peacekeepers anyway.
This is a big joke.
There just aren't any uh any peacekeepers.
All right, moving on to other things.
It actually happened.
I didn't think when I saw it that the Clintons would let this happen, but it has happened.
That sculpture, the presidential bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the first woman president of the United States of America, has been put on display at the Museum of Sex in New York.
It happened yesterday, ladies and what is today.
This is the ninth?
It happened today.
I mean, you see the picture of that bust.
We put it up there on the website.
My God, it looks like a porno bust, as I'm not surprised it would, well, at least from the neck down.
It's the museum of sex.
It's there.
All right, as you know, there were eleven nutcase Egyptians running around like ghosts in this country.
The FBI had posted an alert saying, hey, keep a sharp eye.
We've got an alert for these guys.
Turns out that one of them has been found.
ABC News has learned that one of the 11 missing Egyptian students has been found in Minnesota and is in custody.
Now these guys entered the country some time ago, ostensibly to go to uh Montana State University.
Something they're gonna go to classes at Montana State University.
One of the Egyptians found in uh Minnesota, federal law enforcement officials expected to issue a written statement shortly.
Student being interviewed by federal officials, other details not immediately available.
No word on the other ten missing students at this point.
These guys arrived here uh last month.
They're being sought by authorities after failing to turn up uh for an exchange program at Montana.
Ah, that's what that explains it.
I was wondering why they go to Montana.
It's nothing against Montana, but this didn't, it didn't, it didn't jibe why 11 Egyptian students would go to Montana.
But it's an exchange program.
That totally explains it.
They um they were uh let's see, they were among a group of 17 students who arrived at JFK International Spaceport in New York from Cairo on July 29th.
They had valid visas.
The other six have arrived in Bozeman, Montana campus for a month-long program on English language instruction and U.S. history and culture.
Uh now, okay, so we got we got ten of these guys running around.
Nobody knows where they are, and we're we're desperately seeking them.
Al Qaeda's number two leader in a new video tape aired last Saturday.
Uh said that uh an Egyptian militant group has joined Al Qaeda.
Well, huh?
Hunky dory, isn't it?
It was the first time that Al Qaeda has announced a branch in Egypt.
A branch like a bank.
Uh it's uh let's see.
By the way, Egypt is the Arab world's most populous nation.
The Egyptian group Gamma Islamiah is apparently a revived version of a militant group of the same name that waged a campaign of violence in Egypt during the 90s, but was crushed in a government crackdown.
So it is possible to crush these guys.
And it is possible for governments to crush these guys.
So at any rate, we got these ten Egyptians running around, and we have um uh Al-Qaeda say the Al-Qaeda guy, this Al Zawahiri.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what's going on.
It to me anyway, these guys are human beings in in the uh I mean, even at the base level.
And it seems like every six months we get a new terrorist hero.
It's bin Laden, and then it was Muki, Al Sadr.
And then it was Al-Zarqawi.
Now Zawahiri says, say, hey, hey, we're the big guys here.
We're Al Qaeda.
Just to prove it we've opened a branch in Egypt.
Now we got Nosehair Nasrallah out there stealing the thunder of all the of all the terrorists.
But you know, there's something else to be said about that.
Could we connect the dots on all this?
We go from bin Laden to uh Muki Al Sadr to um Mosab Abu, whatever uh Al-Zarkawi.
Abu Musab also.
Then we go, we go back to um what's his face?
Zawahiri shows up, bin Laden a couple tapes.
Now we got Nasrawa of the Hezbows.
What is all this mean?
We're we're we're getting caught up here as we do in this culture of uh celebrity and individuals.
They all represent the same thing.
They all represent look where they are.
Now they're in Lebanon, they've been there.
Well, they've been these places all over the place.
Now they branched out to Egypt.
They've been there for a while.
This is a worldwide enemy that we face.
And uh uh they just keep changing the faces on us uh for obvious PR reasons.
And in each each Zarkawi, after he was uh after he was gunned down, we got puff profile pieces on him.
Uh we've had uh puff pieces on uh uh uh bin Laden.
In fact, whoa who was it?
Patty Murray, the senator from Washington.
She's the first one.
It's no wonder that that uh the Hezbos learn a lot from us.
Patty Murray goes out there, so well, no wonder the people over there love uh bin Laden.
He builds roads, he builds schools, he runs social programs.
Like we don't.
We wrote the book on it.
Well, after the Soviets.
We wrote the book on doing it well, quote unquote.
So now the Hezbos are out there putting up stories.
They're great social workers.
They got great social programs, they got hospitals and nurses and doctors and all that sort of stuff.
It but it's all the same bunch of people, it's all the same thing.
Whoever is a muki, uh Abu Mosab, uh Zawahiri and Nasral, they're all the same bunch.
Whether we're fighting them in Lebanon, whether they're fighting them in uh Afghanistan or Iraq, it's all the same bunch of people, and it's I think some people don't want to admit that.
They're just little, they're not just little individual disparate group.
They are, but they all have a unifying hatred uh about them.
It's it is interesting.
I think Zawahiri is getting a little fed up with all the attention this Nasrallah guy is getting.
So all these tapes are coming out from Al Qaeda with his announcement hey, we've branched out now.
We're we've got an office in Egypt.
I shouldn't be laughing because it isn't funny, but it it is to me in the sense that they have egos.
Uh like all the rest of us do back here in just a second.
And the Clintons strike again.
Don't forget that uh Bill went in there and endorsed Senator Lieberman.
It's a kiss of death.
Ask the Democratic candidate for governor in uh Hawaii, ask any of them.
It's kissing a guy that comes in and Dorsha, and it's he stuck.
By the way, uh an Egyptian militant group denied that it had joined Al Qaeda, saying the majority of its members were sticking by a truce with the government declared almost a decade ago in a statement posted on their website.
The group said it flatly denies what Amon Al Zawahiri had said about it joining Al Qaeda.
Well, trouble in paradise out there, ladies and gentlemen.
New Al Qaeda branch in Egypt doesn't want to fess up to it.
Ed in Portland, Oregon.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
Uh Mega Didddoes from uh Desert Island here in the People's Republic of Portland.
I feel for you.
Uh I'm just curious, uh, where is Russia's account for uh their responsibility of the you know the failed states they left after we defeated them in the Cold War and uh and they don't account for that, and they have incidents like the school in Bezlam.
I I expect more from them.
Well, do you mean I'm not I'm I'm I'm not following you.
What where does where's Russia who who do you want to hold them account?
Well, Syria, number one, uh, you know, would be uh first on the list, and then obviously they've gotten a little cozy with Iran since then, so I'm just confused by their lack of action, I guess.
Uh I have to admit to being confused.
You uh you're describing Putin's actions against Muslims, right?
In Chechnya and in other places, and you're wondering what about that?
Well, I'm wondering why they are not uh more along our side of us uh trying to defend uh against terrorism and that type of action.
Uh all right.
Well, that's that's uh that's pretty easy answer.
And it's a chilling answer.
Um the fact of the matter is that Russia has vast economic deals with Iran, and a lot of them involve arms.
Uh don't know what the relationship is with Syria, but let me tell you something.
Uh we are we we we are almost in in this battle, aside from the Brits, we're uh we're alone.
You have to understand China and Russia are working hand in hand with Iran uh on energy, uh on missiles, on arms, nuclear capability.
Uh and one of the you know we're we're we're the target of this.
The Chinese are not our friends.
The Chinese, when it when it comes to all this, I mean we have enemies out there.
We're the guys at the top.
We're the ones, everybody is the two things.
Gunning for, and they're afraid of us as well.
Now I don't think they're afraid that we're going to attack them.
They're afraid of our economic power.
They're afraid that if we did attack them, that it would be bad news for them.
And these are these are countries that are trying to buy a little peace at the same time with these uh sworn enemies of the United States.
And there's plenty of anti Semitism in Russia as well, uh, which would explain their alliance with uh with Iran.
So I you know, I don't know if does that answer the question?
Well, I was just I would have thought I I thought there was a little bit more fear in Russia of terrorism and uh and the Muslim, you know, fascism that that's a very good thing.
Hell no, they wouldn't they quash it.
You remember what they did with that when the when the Chechens uh overran the opera house or whatever, took all the hostages.
Do you know what they did?
Yeah, they they killed everybody.
Yeah, but do you know how they did it?
Have you ever heard of fentanyl?
Uh no.
Fentanyl's an opiate.
It's used as a patch.
It's uh you put it in a patch on your arm, it's for it's for really, really severe post-operative pain, cancer pain, this kind of thing.
They found a way to convert it into a gas.
They gassed those people to death.
They were all in that, I think it was an opera house, whatever it was, and this had never been done before, and it sent shock waves around the world.
This was a chemical weapon.
Um they they put so much of it in there, these people stopped breathing.
Uh opiates in great quantities will suppress the respiratory system.
Uh the people in there died happy because of the euphoric effect of opiates, but they died.
They didn't put up with it.
Putin doesn't put up with it.
Chinese don't put up with it.
Uh the Chin, you know, Putin didn't run around saying, why do they hate us?
Putin said, screw you!
You're dead.
We're not going to let you do that.
The Chinese would do the same thing.
We're running around trying to figure out why do they hate us?
Uh so, you know, the the Iranians, I think they have a little fear of the Russians.
I would be too.
You got a former KGB guy running a cunt running the country.
Uh I saw something the other day.
I've been wondering what happened to this guy.
It was just yesterday.
Uh might have been last.
I forgot.
I was watching television, and I saw an old familiar face that I haven't seen in since before the Berlin Wall came down.
Does the name Vitali Chirkin mean anything to you?
Vitali Chirkin during the uh Gorbanoff days, crisis in the Cold War, whenever any media was on crossfire all the time.
Vitali Churkin.
Well spoken, obviously Russian, uh, but flawless and perfect English, better than people in Rio Linda speak it.
I once interviewed Vitali Chirkin when I went to Washington, I was still working in Sacramento, but in 1985, 86, and he was there long before that.
Um and I I once interviewed him, and he's back.
He's he's uh UN ambassador.
He's one of the works in the UN mission, the Soviet or the Russian.
So uh I don't know what that means, not gonna level any accusations, Mr. Chirkin can be a totally nice guy.
I asked him, do you live at the embassy in Washington?
No, I live out in uh I live out someplace in Virginia with the natives.
He was kind of curious about my my question.
I even asked a UKGB.
I just pointlessly just I thought, you know, I stayed at the Mayflower Hotel, and I was I was sure my room was bugged that night before the interview.
Uh that's the way we thought about the Soviets back then.
Anyway, the the point of this is is that um you you would think the Russians would be on our side with this, but anything that weakens us, the Chinese love, anything that distracts us, Chinese Russians love.
This is playing for keeps time, folks.
I mean, a lot of people out there, because we're so affluent, we've got so much uh time in our hands, free to ignore all this stuff, but it's we're we're a great country, great risk in dangerous world.
I mean, there's no question about it.
Your host for life.
Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Here on the EIB network, a state panel in the state of Washington.
The state panel has disciplined a judge there, who ordered cheers in court for the Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks before issuing a manslaughter sentence.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Beverly Grant asked about a hundred people in court to say go Seahawks before taking their seats on February 3rd.
Dissatisfied with the low volume of the response, she repeated the request.
That same day, she sentenced Steve Keotang to 13 and a half years for manslaughter in the 2005 shooting death of Tino Patricelli, who is 28 years old.
The Seahawks lost, as you know, to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Grant, who appointed uh was appointed to the bench in 2003, apologized the following Monday, eventually filed a formal conduct complaint against herself.
Well, that's that's big of her.
Filed a formal complaint against herself.
She said, although my intentions were to defuse the courtroom situation, I realize now the inappropriateness of my opening comments by asking people in court to cheer go Seahawks.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, he told you yesterday of uh uh sperm bank uh plan.
Uh uh guys go in, donate sperm, and they're allowed to make a recording to the sperm that will be played later when the sperm is 18.
Uh this was uh dubbed the sperm monologues.
Well, there's some new news on this, not specifically that, but there's new sperm news out there.
Uh this is from the Scotland Daily Record.
Only one man in the whole country.
This is uh It's hard to believe.
Only only one man in Scotland is donating sperm to help infertile couples have children, it was claimed yesterday.
Revelation was made as a support group warned Britain is facing a national shortage.
Not of sperm, ladies and gentlemen, of donated sperm.
It's a different category.
Campaigners for donated sperm blame the crisis on the government's decision to allow children to find out who their donor fathers are.
Thousands of vials of sperm have been destroyed because donors didn't want to be identified.
Across the UK, as few as ten new donors are found every month, down from thirty a few years ago.
Campaigners for donated sperm said the fertility clinics are being forced to close, leaving thousands of couples childless.
And then um uh there is there is this story.
According to an article in yesterday's The Independent on Sunday, a marked decline in UK sperm bank reserves has meant that supplies have had to be shipped in from the uh USA, from Denmark, and from Spain.
Uh describing the situation as a national crisis.
The article explains how some fertility clinics have either been forced to close or at least turn away patients.
But uh this the Spaniards and uh Americans are coming through, uh, ladies and gentlemen, with uh don.
Donated sperm.
Mark in Las Vegas, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Russ, Megadetto.
Thank you.
I had a question about the uh about a possible McCain Lieberman independent presidential ticket.
Each one appeals to the other side.
Well, this this this uh this is contingent, of course, on McCain running as an independent.
Right.
Because if McCain runs, if he gets a Republican nomination, it he will not choose Lieberman to be his nominee in that circumstance.
Right, but if he doesn't get the Republican, and if Hillary or Al Gorkawi gets the Democratic one, then uh they'd be left to be independent.
Al Zarkawi is Alzheimer's Al Gore.
Al Gore.
Al Zarkawi is dead.
No, no, Al Zoo.
I don't know if he wanted to be on a Democrat ticket or not.
Um the Hall metric ticket.
Zarkawi McCain.
Um the latest polling data shows that Rudy Giuliani beats Hillary in a Republican versus Democrat presidential contest in 2008.
Rudy, I think, is running.
I'll bet you Newt Gingrich decides to run.
I I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if things break.
I know he's probably looking at it, things break, he might run.
I guess it's all wide open.
I I think it's impossible to handicap this and predict where all this is going.
Too much too much is in flux.
But I Frank, excuse me.
I don't think that McCain would choose Lieberman.
Just to cut to the chase of your question.
Not really.
Even for an independent ticket.
Not even for independent ticket.
No way.
No way.
Because McCain would say, I don't choose Lucius, buddy.
And you lost.
You lost.
And I love you.
I love you.
But I am about winners.
So I I don't I I can't I don't think that would be the uh look.
And uh and lost.
So I think Lieberman might I don't know.
I d uh I think McCain would throw him off the straight talk expressed and the reporters would cheer.
I mean, I got a report that reporters were cheering at Lamont's reporters were cheering at Lamont's acceptance speech last night.
It was in News Day.
Now, News Day has pulled the story, but it's still on the Philadelphia Inquirer website.
I didn't see it.
So no, no.
David Naltuna, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hey, it's an honor to talk to you, Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, um, I was wondering what your thoughts were with Lieberman running as an independent.
If he does, in fact, win, will uh the the Democrats embrace him back so he can vote on their side and switch back to Democrat.
Or also, if Lieberman is leading in the polls prior to the election, will they start throwing him some money to lure him back into the Democratic?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
If Lieberman's winning in the polls, they're gonna throw money at Lamont.
Uh if if Lieberman runs as an independent, and if he wins, it's the worst thing that could happen to the Democrats.
That would be the worst thing because they're they're they're gonna they're gonna take this election yesterday as a validation that this party wants to go full bore far-left anti-war.
They want that to be the theme of the party.
And then and these guys are already throwing Lieberman under the bus.
That party in general is gonna start moving way, way, way to the left, thinking they've got it in a bag now.
Because they're misreading what this election yesterday is all about.
It's a primary.
It was in August.
Compared to the total number of uh registered voters in Connecticut, the turnout was a smidgen.
But man, they see a trend.
They see that they've crossed the threshold.
They have uh they've reached the vistas.
Uh and if Lieberman screw all of that up, whether they accepting back, hey Joe, great to have you back in the Senate.
I'm sure they'd do that personally, but it would it would cause abject panic out there.
Uh and we wouldn't see it, but believe me, it would.
All right, audio soundbite time to wrap up the roster.
Let's go to CNN's Larry King Live last night.
Interviewed James Zogby, the brother of the polster John Zogby.
James Zogby, founder president of the Arab American Institute.
He said this about the people killed in Lebanon.
One-third, almost 300 of those killed in Lebanon have been children under the age of 13.
I saw a funeral march entire today, where thirteen people were killed because Israel bombed a funeral march.
The fact is is that why people in Lebanon say they support his bullet today is because they oppose the barbarism of this war.
Israel hasn't played by the right rules, and they've taken a terrible consequence here, both in terms of civilian life, but I think also in terms of their own morality.
James, it's too bad, but you are dead wrong.
Al Reuters has run a correction.
They did not bomb a funeral procession.
The Israelis did not bomb a funeral procession.
So Zogby out there on Larry King Alive spinning Hezbollah propaganda, and repeating a false report from Al Reuters.
Paul is on now, CNN, last night.
Interviewing uh the National Geographic editor, Chris Johns.
She said, Why do you think the photographer at uh that freelancer for all Reuters did it?
And why didn't his editors catch it?
Meaning the fraudulent photography.
Well, he's in a competitive news environment.
He wants to excel.
You know, it it's hard to get into his mind, as we said previously.
Oh, come on.
Uh often I think the motive is is to simply try to make a spectacular picture.
Oh, come on.
We can see the cloning, we can see what's happened to the photograph, and it's very obvious to us.
Uh, you know, in the pressure of deadlines and and feeding a news cycle, those mistakes happen.
Right.
Okay, so the drive-by media once again predicted this to you people.
I said they'd circle the wagons around this guy and they're circling the wagons.
This is the same lame excuse the executive vice president of AP gave for these fraudulent photos.
Well, you know, it's such a competitive environment and he wants to excel.
He's got an agenda.
Can we be honest about it?
These guys comp what's competitive about this.
When you're in the war zone here over there with the Hezbows, the Hezbos, more and more reporters are starting to open up, by the way, about how the Hezbos threaten to kill them if they videotape and show pictures of the Hezbox rockets being launched.
The Hezbos have a number of reporters' passport numbers, copies of their passports.
And they are indeed intimidating.
It was in Tech Central Station the other day, this uh this story.
But these f these photographers, folks, they're not wandering around aimlessly and freely in these war zones.
They they show up just like the press does everywhere.
The White House press court doesn't wander around the White House.
The White House press corps doesn't wander around the Oval Office of the residents.
They're not in a White House tour.
They're in the White House press room, and it's a tiny little cubbyhole place, and they sit around and they wait to be fed the news by whoever their sources are.
Same thing with the Hezbos.
The photographers are gathered at a site by the Hezbolla media relations team, and they are all there waiting for the various rescue workers to come out with their staged corpses, their staged uh expressions of agony and crying and suffering and all of this, and they start snapping the pictures, and they they may have a competitive attempt to get different angles and so forth, but they're being force-fed this stuff.
I say the main concern here is not the faked photos, it's the staged events that they're photographing, uh whether or not they know that uh that's the case.
Now, Anderson Cooper next on his show.
Well, actually was on Paul Azan last night.
He pretty much admits here that the Hezbos just make stuff up.
But uh it's okay because they just they have to get their story out, they're not as experienced as the Israelis.
Paul Azan says, Anderson Cooper, who's in northern Israel tonight, but has been reporting from both sides of the war.
Anderson, you've been dealing with restrictions from Israel's military and the Hezbos.
How do those restrictions affect the accuracy of your reporting?
It's really interesting.
I was in Beirut, and you know, they took me on this sort of guided tour of the Hezbollah controlled territories in southern Lebanon.
They were heavily bombed.
They don't have the experience in this kind of thing.
But but they clearly want the story of civilian casualties out.
That is what they are heavily pushing to the point where on this tour I was on, they were they were just making stuff up.
They had six ambulances lined up in a row uh and and said, okay, you know, they brought reporters there, they said you can talk to the ambulance drivers.
Um, and then one by one they told the ambulances to turn on their their sirens and to zoom off.
Uh and people taking that picture, you know, would be reporting, I guess, the idea that, you know, these ambulances were zooming off to treat civilian casualties when in fact these ambulances were literally going back and forth down the street just for people to take pictures of them.
All right.
No, that's that's fine.
That's pretty good reporting there.
Pretty good reporting, right?
Why doesn't it affect the way they cover it?
If he knows this.
Now I know you can, but Russia just said these, and that's what's happening.
Fine.
I watch CNN, I'm getting puffed profile pieces of Hezbollah.
I watch CNN and I'm being told all the civil civilian casualties, and I'm seeing all these rescue workers.
If they know this stuff, uh I think the answer is, well, you know, they don't have the experience of this kind of thing.
And this is not as experienced as the Israelis, so they're victims.
We have to cut a little slack back in a second.
You know, one of the things that is that strucks me, struck me here.
I listen to Anderson Cooper and uh and these uh other people talk about um their relations uh with uh the Hesbos.
They uh, well, we have to understand, yeah, they're not very experienced.
They clearly are making things up, but they clearly are just firing off the ambulances.
But uh I think uh, ladies and gentlemen, I've I think some of these these clowns in the drive-by media think it's cool that terrorists are taking the time to talk to them, even if it means feeding them lies and propaganda.
They think it's cool.
It's really cool.
These terrorists who uh brutally murder and abuse others are actually willing to talk to them and work with them.
I think it's I think I think it's kind of sick, you know, but they're I think they're excited.
Yeah, they talk to us.
They don't kill us.
They talk to us.
Doofuses.
We put a picture on the website last night.
You have to see this.
It's a um it's a NASA picture.
Uh of a solar flare erupting uh in the year 2000.
Uh and they've juxtaposed the approximate size of Earth compared to the not even one-fourth of the sun that's in this picture and this giant flare that has been admitted.
And you just you I it's in color, too.
You have to go to the website, Rush Limbaugh.com, see this picture.
Uh it might help you explain the sun's factor uh in global warming.
Uh now this the size of the earth here is all it does.
This is not an approximate approximation of how close this the earth is to sun.
It's just to show you how small the earth is compared to the sun itself and this flare uh six years ago.
Tom and Tucson, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, dido's from the old Pueblo, Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, Rush, if the shoe were on the other foot, and this was McCain and not Lieberman, would the press be asking John McCain to bow out and take out the wheel.
Oh no, they'd be encouraging.
That's an excellent point.
If McCain decides to run as an independent, let's say the Republicans reject him in the primaries and he goes independent, he'll be the biggest hero on the face of the earth.
That is an excellent point.
The drive-by media trying to get uh Lieberman to hang it up, give it up, don't screw things up here, Joe.
But with McCain oh my god, multiple orgasm time out there in the drive-by media.
Nancy in Anchorage, Alaska.
Hello.
Thank you.
From the land of the midnight sun, I I'll get right to my point.
Uh BP had a small leak in their uh pipeline up here.
It started uh in the winter, and so they didn't catch it for a while because it was they kind of couldn't find it in the tundra and the snow.
And now they're doing the right thing.
They're setting the pipeline down.
And uh it's my thought that since that's the right thing, we should be congratulating them.
We're stopping the next Exxon Valdez and all that sort of thing.
But the Democrats are all over them.
They want to they want to crucify them, and I was wondering what you think.
Ain't gonna happen.
It's big oil, one of the favorite targets of the American left and of the media.
Uh no, they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna be it's gonna be worse than that.
And they're gonna they're gonna say what BP.
Is this on purpose?
You're trying to get gas prices up, or you're just incompetent.
And they're gonna say, this is why we can't have any more oil pipelines.
We can't have any more drilling.
These oil companies don't care.
They'll foul the alignment and they'll the environment will kill a caribou.
We can't let them do it.
Of course.
When the big dig in Boston collapses and kills an innocent woman driving through.
No such investigation.
The big dig Democrats.
The big dig Democrats who waste all that money and look the other way.
Have to run, folks, back in just a jiffy.
Okay, folks, have to hit the happy trail.
Um as you know, gonna be going to the great uh the 50th state.
Uh Roger Hedgecock will be here on uh Thursday and Friday.
