Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Welcome to the Rush Lymar program and uh welcome to uh well uh the EIB network.
Gosh, I've got so much going on here today.
Don't try to get to an airport.
We'll have a little uh sound from our little airport here in San Diego, coming at you from the left coast at the studios of KOGO Radio in San Diego.
I am Roger Hedgecock, and thanks for all the feedback on yesterday's show.
We're gonna follow up with some of that today as well on some of the points that you have made in this show.
It is, of course, uh open line Friday, and we'll get to to that uh as well.
Your calls, uh, your opinions, your topic at 1-800-282-2882.
Now, I must admit, thinking about open line Friday, I have some fears because uh obviously Rush handles this very well.
I mean, you could throw any question at him, and he's uh he's got it.
Uh so I don't know, put me to the test.
Let's see if the substitute teacher can do uh anywhere near as well.
At 1800-282-2882.
Um the big story, of course, is the continuing good news that a terrorist plot to blow up a number of airplanes and uh have to correct myself.
Yesterday it was over the Atlantic as they were coming from the UK into the United States.
It's it is now apparent that the plot was to blow up those planes as they approached American airports and shower America with the debris of uh obliterated bodies and airplane parts.
That is the nature of our foe, and uh a nature that I think people are waking up to.
We are also waking up to the fact that it is radical Islam.
It is uh Islamic fascism, as the president put it yesterday, that uh we are at war with a not a pretty sight.
These are not people playing by any kind of rules other than their own.
These are people, by the way, who are not disadvantaged.
They are not attacking us, they they do not hate us for economic reasons at all.
They simply believe that as infidels to their version of Islam, we deserve to die.
Now, interestingly enough, uh not only are the all of the uh well, see, all of the arrestees so far in both Britain and in Pakistan, where the government there has rounded up a number of people, and uh questioned a number more.
The uh folks are not our uh are uh Pakistanis, with the exception of two in the list in Britain who were Muslim converts, apparently from the general population there in Britain.
Twenty-four now being held in raids, which included uh the wife of one of those converts uh pregnant and in her pajamas taken into uh custody.
They weren't messing around in uh Britain yesterday.
Uh twenty-four now held, uh, one of the young men with a bank account, unemployed with a bank account of 300,000 pounds.
Uh that's uh what, uh five hundred and some thousand dollars.
Uh these are well-funded, well-educated, mass murderers, uh who are gener uh who are uh um motivated by a uh an extreme and I would say unIslamic interpretation of Islam.
So we'll get we'll get a little bit uh into that.
The unimaginable mass murder, as one headline put it, that was uh contemplated.
It should be said also that the tip that began the exposure of this uh incredible uh incredible uh effort to kill this incredible mass murder plan.
The tip began with a Muslim, a member of the Muslim community reporting suspicions about an acquaintance after the July 7, 2005 suicide bombings on London's transit system, which took fifty-some lives uh back then.
And uh once again, in looking at all of the press in the UK, up comes again the name of a member of Parliament, George Galloway.
Remember him, the famous friend of Saddam Hussein, who was um it is said by the brother of one of the terrorist suspects, Wahid Zaman, that uh he had met with uh George uh Galloway and met him many times.
Galloway uh spokesman said Wahid Zaman is not a name George is familiar with.
That's because these guys had many names, Galloway, and you know again, you're an enemy of the West, you're an enemy of freedom.
You have been siding with the terrorists all along, and you're doing it again.
There's going to be more on that.
Now, um I must say on a personal level, this has um this whole thing has created, of course, at airports uh continuing catastrophe and chaos uh for many.
I mean, our lattes are now a weapon of mass destruction.
Our iPods, our Kodak cameras, uh whatever, seem now to be weapons of mass destruction.
Not only that, the chaos.
When you ask a government agency, of course, to turn on a dime and implement new regulations.
The chaos at airports yesterday was uh well, I don't know how it was in your town, but this is what it sounded like here at Lindbergh Field in San Diego.
We weren't told at check-in that we weren't allowed to have liquids and stuff, so when we got up there, they took all of our hair products and our alcohol and stuff like that.
I don't know if they're gonna allow toothpaste.
I have that in my bag.
But we'll see.
If not, there'll be some bad breath going on.
They patted us all down, they searched our bags twice.
First our check on luggage when we came through, and then the second time before we got on the plane.
My wife was uh peeved because all of her expensive uh makeup and perfume to be tossed.
I mean, it was really the equivalent of about a several hundred dollars, I'm sure.
It was very hectic.
Very, very, very hectic.
So there you go.
Uh everybody as uh as we all become uh suspects in the war on terror, everyone flying now is a suspect because we still to this moment refuse to do basic law enforcement, which is to look at the perps we've actually rounded up uh over the last, and we know them because uh what?
The last attack of this kind uh was uh foiled back in 1994.
This is not new 2001, September 11 is almost five years ago.
This is not new.
We know uh the source, we know who our enemy is, and we refuse to look for that enemy in the airports, preferring instead to spread uh the suspicion to every single person entering the airport.
It is moronic, ladies and gentlemen, and needs to stop.
Uh Senator Schumer, by the way, is on my side.
This from Newsday.com, Newsday, uh AP reporting that among the thousands of frustrated flyers stuck at London's Heathrow airport Thursday was U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, a jet-lagged casualty of worldwide delays and cancellations that grounded his family vacation.
The Senator told Associated Press by phone, quote, it's a nightmare.
Everyone's stuck.
Our flight is apparently delayed until Sunday.
The nightmare for Schumer is being stuck.
The nightmare for the rest of us is we're in a war he refuses to acknowledge.
The nightmare for the rest of us is that we're in a war that the Bush administration refuses to focus on the actual enemy in our airports rather than the rest of us in our cosmetics.
I mean, not my cosmetics, but I mean you heard the woman in her cosmetics.
Although they were making fun of this reporter today on Fox News saying that the uh this male who was going through and said he was now on his flight and had to give up all the stuff.
Did you have to give up your your liquid uh foundation too?
And they were the and the women, you know, the women reporters were making fun of him because he wore makeup famously on air.
So Sandra Bernhardt, a close friend of Madonna, threatened to fight new security measures at airports imposed after these terrorist attacks.
She said she's scheduled to fly out of New York's JFK airport today, and she's determined to uh break the rule about uh nonessential hand luggage.
She says, when I go to the airport and they try to take my Mac plush glass away from me, it's going to be World War III.
Just shoot her, please.
It is kind of interesting that the detonator discussed for this foiled bombing was to be a disposable camera, along with the famous uh chemical mixture of uh otherwise known as a sports drink.
Otherwise known as the Tour de France official drink.
I don't know.
But uh this um this uh you know, terrorism and the uh his Hisbala people are uh the experts on this.
Uh well, all of the terrorists are.
The way to manipulate our media against us, uh ask Reuters, etc., ask uh uh uh Mike Wallace, etc.
But I think they were trying to get a twofer here.
This uh uh this business of uh uh detonating the bomb with a uh with a camera.
Uh they were probably going to get a picture at the same time which would transmit immediately to Reuters for distribution throughout the world as uh a picture of the inside of the plane as it detonated and blew up so that the terror could be spread more widely.
I mean I I probably the terrorist was a Reuters photographer, who knows.
Um by the way, and ladies and gentlemen, I want to rub this in a bit.
Oliver Stone's film World Trade Center.
Which brought uh according to the New York press tears to the eyes of those who attended the opening uh night in uh New York, people who uh live with the actual memories brought to tears, stunned by the power of the film.
I'm stunned that Oliver Stone did a straight film that didn't have his leftist uh nonsense uh distributed through it.
This film, apparently a straightforward uh film of the heroism uh the battle to save two policemen trapped under tons of rubble.
It is figured now that the first day box office receipts, this is how Californians talk, uh were four point four million dollars.
This is huge.
This could bring twenty million through the opening weekend, uh the whole movie costs sixty-five uh million bucks.
This is a huge moneymaker, and uh in Hollywood, no matter what your uh ideological agenda, believe me, the bottom line is uh movies that make money are good movies.
Movies that don't make money are bad movies, no matter what the reviewers say.
All right, one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh and back with your call after this.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh and uh and it's open line Friday, I mean whatever you want to get into, obviously the dominating story of the day worldwide is uh yet another victory for the Bush administration and the Bush Blair Alliance and uh and the war on terror and a defeat for Al Qaeda, his Mola, Bula Bulla and all the rest of them who would uh be killing uh Americans uh and everybody else they don't like, infidels of every stripe.
So it's a uh it's a big day for the idea that A, we are at war, B, we are winning, C, uh this administration is capable of protecting Americans.
Uh as opposed to the alternative administration proposed through uh Ned Lamont and others, and we'll get to that uh in a moment.
Wow, Lieberman came out swinging the other day.
I'll get to that tape in a moment.
Um the uh well, let's take uh Harriet here in New York City first.
Harriet, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, Roger.
Um, I agree with you that profiling young Muslim males at airports and many other places actually is totally justified and very necessary.
But I'm afraid that in and of itself that is not going to be enough to protect the public.
And I would like to remind you of an incident that took place a number of years ago, as it happens at Heathworal Airport.
Um, an Arab man living in England acquired an Irish girlfriend.
She got pregnant.
He asked her to marry him.
He said, Well, now it's time to go to my town on the West Bank and visit my parents and plan the wedding and all of that.
Somehow he persuaded her to travel separately.
He went on his way.
She showed up at the L L counter at Heathrow Airport, and to make a long story short, he had placed the bomb in her suitcase.
So unwitting dupes come in all races, creeds, colors, ages, genders, whatever.
Oh, there's no question, Harriet.
And uh in other words, I'm not saying we drop the uh the uh X-raying of the I think we ought to do all of that uh and and put people through the X-ray and put people through their luggage through and and take ordinary precautions.
There isn't any question about that.
I just think that getting down to somebody's uh uh lipstick uh uh today is is just uh, you know, who's whose uh, you know, obviously say you show up uh with your uh your your your makeup kit and it has to be left behind.
That uh frankly does not make sense to me.
Well, when the most innocuous objects can now be used as a bomb component, I mean what do you do?
Well, components.
See, you it's one thing to get a dupe like you know, this Irish pregnant girl, but and and that's the story is true.
Uh, but it there's one thing to get that.
There's another thing to have a complicated situation where you actually have to uh detonate the bomb, you have to, you know, take your Kodak moment, you have to go through the series series of steps.
You're not going to do that uh without knowing that you are about to kill yourself, and you're not about to kill yourself unless you actually believe Allah's waiting with seventy-nine virgins on the other side.
Roger, may I make another quick point?
Go ahead.
Um, some Muslim spokesmen have been very critical of the president for describing our enemy as Islamic fascism.
Uh, what I would like to say to those Muslim spokesmen is that at this point we really don't want to hear anything from you other than a total condemnation of the fanatics and the lunatics in your midst, and also a pledge to cooperate with the authorities in every way possible and exposing these people.
May I say amen.
Harriet, thanks very much.
Isn't it time?
Muslim friends.
I understand, not all Muslims are terrorists, but at this point in time, I think it is fair, reasonable, rational, logical, and factually based to tell you that every single terrorist is a Muslim in these attacks in this war on terror.
I'm sorry.
This is the these are the facts.
And it is now incumbent.
I've got all these articles in front of me.
Muslim group upset by Bush's use of, quote, Islamic fascists uh Nihad Awad, uh, executive director of CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations said the president's hot button terminology puts the name of Islam and the Muslim community at risk.
No.
No.
Awad, uh uh whatever Wad you are, uh, the fact is you, quiet Muslims who are not terrorists, but are not speaking up are putting Islam at risk.
You must step forward, as this courageous person did apparently in England, from the Muslim community, tipping off the police to the existence of this of this uh terrorist cell over there.
It is time for Muslims to stand up.
Stop playing the PC game of we're entitled to our rights, and don't you diss us.
And uh we have to respect our diversity.
And you you can't uh you can't call us names, because that's a hate crime.
May I remind you of the school system of Saudi Arabia?
Do you think we don't know about these things?
I'm speaking now to my Muslim friends.
Brothers, do you think that we do not know about these things?
Here is from the uh, let's see, uh they have a K-12 system in Saudi.
Saudi texts for Islamic studies used in the school year.
This is from Freedom House.
This is their interpretations.
This is the hate the Saudis have in their official school system.
First grade.
Here is a quote, passage from the first grade.
Quote, every religion other than Islam is false, unquote.
Fourth grade, quote, true belief means that you hate the polytheists and infidels, but do not treat them unjustly, unquote.
So it's it's enough you simply must hate.
Fifth grade, quote.
It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in God and his prophet, unquote.
Sixth grade.
Quote, just as Muslims were successful in the past when they came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the Christian crusaders from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, God willing, against the Jews and their allies if they stand together and fight a true jihad for God, for this is within God's power, unquote.
Eighth grade.
The quote, the apes are the Jews, the people of the Sabbath, while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus, unquote.
Ninth grade.
Quote.
The clash between the Muslim community and the Jews and Christians has endured and it will continue as long as God wills, unquote.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hateful religious indoctrination that the school system of Saudi Arabia promotes and pays for while calling their religion a religion of peace.
This is not in this interpretation, in this country, Saudi Arabia.
And in turn and that's why, you know, so many of these terrorists because this kind of hate does translate into violence.
Of course it does.
When you are taught to hate and you are taught that the outsider, the infidel, is someone to hate and to and to speak of in these terms, apes and so forth, a swine.
This is what we are talking about.
Don't you dare, you Muslims here in our countries, don't you dare preach to us about hate.
Don't you dare preach to us about discrimination and bias when you in your countries, in the Daras Islam, in the land of Islam, teach and preach the kind of hate that has led to this war.
You started this war, you in Islam.
And it is up to you who don't want it to speak up now.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh today and uh obviously this um welcome news that a terrorist bomb plot has been thwarted and the terrorist rounded up is a victory in our war on terror.
It is also however the exposure of London and Britain as uh as if we didn't know it from shoe bomber Richard Reed of a couple of years ago as the center of um and interestingly enough Muslims largely from Pakistan who have been there one two three generations and yet are spawning this kind of of hate.
Hard to understand why someone incorporated into Western culture for three generations would uh revert to a seventh century jihadist mentality um one of those who's looked into this is Melanie Phillips she wrote a book about it called Lundunistan and she is vacationing in of all places Jerusalem where we caught up with her today Melanie Phillips joins us on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi Melanie Hello how are you doing I'm doing fine uh uh we're we'll talk in a moment about the politics and the war in in Lebanon here because I'm sure you're on top of that but let's talk a little bit about what you studied for some time what were your thoughts when you heard about the roundup of these folks and the thwarting of this uh and the exposure of this incredible plan to blow up all these airplanes.
Yeah, well, my first reaction was shock, because this is deeply shocking.
Shock at the size of this conspiracy and of the potential implications of potentially hundreds or even thousands of people being murdered.
This is deeply, deeply shocking information.
But I wasn't surprised.
I have been warning about the threat to Britain and the free world, which has been allowed to grow within Britain on British soil by British Muslims against their own country and against the West for some time.
And the really awful thing is that Britain even now doesn't get it.
This may seem impossible for people in America to fully understand the degree of denial in Britain's society, particularly Britain's establishment.
But it may come as a surprise, to put it mildly to you to know, that when news of this appalling conspiracy first broke, the reaction was to not mention the word Muslim or Islam or Islamic at all.
The suspect came from Pakistan.
They were British born.
That's all people were told.
The only references made to the fact that they are Muslim is, in fact, in complaints by the Muslim community, that the Muslim community is now going to be the target of Islamophobia.
And this is the problem that Britain has.
And this is partly why Britain now has this appalling problem of homegrown Muslim radicals.
It refuses to acknowledge that what drives these people to these monstrous and inhuman acts against Britain, against America, against the free world is religious fanaticism.
That doesn't mean that all Muslims subscribe to this.
On the contrary, very many hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Britain do not subscribe to this.
to this kind of extremism let alone uh terrorism and the same goes for many Muslims across the world but nevertheless what drives people to these acts is a theological uh uh belief uh in holy war against the infidel is there Melanie Phillips and Is there is there let me ask you, uh Melanie, is there in in Britain an imam or a series of imams.
Is there a mosque oriented uh source for this radicalism or is there another source?
No, it's much worse than that.
It's much more widely spread than that.
I mean, there are radical mosques.
Um my contention, and uh one of the reasons I wrote my book uh was that the British authorities are not doing enough about that problem.
Uh indeed, it may come as an asphall again, you may be astonished to know that uh on the site of the Olympic village, you know, Britain is about to host the Olympics in twenty twelve, uh, there is being built one of the largest mosques, if not the largest mosque in Europe.
But it is being built on funds provided by the Tabligi al-Jama'at, which both the FBI and French intelligence uh believe is one of the most uh uh significant and largest recruiters for Al Qaeda in Europe.
This is the extent to which the British authorities are turning a blind eye.
But it's not just the mosques.
Uh young Muslims are being radicalized on campus, uh, particularly on campus, uh to a shocking degree, uh radical groups are uh operating both above and below the radar uh in uh in in radicalizing Muslims, not just on campus,
but peripatetic youth workers, youth clubs, uh imams in prisons, uh tremendously vulnerable group uh in prison of uh Muslim and indeed non-Muslims in prison who are being recruited to r to Islam and recruited to a particularly uh virulent form of jihadi Islam and if they are already Muslim uh are being radicalized in prison.
And the authorities have simply turned a blind eye to all of this.
Melanie Phillips with us in her book is Lindonistan, uh and she's uh in Jerusalem.
Now, Melanie, um let me just uh s uh uh then take the government side.
They say yes, we recognize all of this.
We have been reaching out into the Muslim community because as you say, not all Muslims are radicalized.
We've been uh developing ties.
In fact, the tip that came that tipped off the authorities to the existence of this conspiracy came from the Muslim community.
We are building successful uh we we had a policeman in the uh we were able to infiltrate the group uh with the aid of other Muslims.
We have uh successfully been able to monitor what's going on here.
It's not something we don't know about.
Uh and and uh we are in fact uh trying to get a handle on those radicalizers and they're being uh taken care of either by being arrested or thrown out of the country.
Uh in other words, there is in place some policies that follow your recommendations, aren't there?
Not at all, not at all, I'm afraid.
Um uh first of all, we don't know what's happened here.
We don't know quite who was the informants or infants uh we there's a lot about this.
We s we we still don't know.
Nevertheless, um it is true that the police are and security people uh want to uh put out lines into the Muslim community in order to get informants, and that's a very uh understandable, understandable uh reaction.
But the problem is that the policy of appeasement, and I think that's not too strong a word that the British uh security establishment is undertaking goes far, far beyond that.
What it involves is taking on its own uh face value uh the uh account given by uh the Muslim community in general, that there is nothing wrong with it, that these terrible acts are being performed by people who aren't really Muslims at all, and so on.
And the British basically believe that uh it's it's it is an appeasement to a mentality.
They believe that if you throw a few bones at a community that is radicalized, if you bring the radicals into the British establishment, uh you uh you build them up uh and so on, you will kind of draw the sting of of the poison.
And as a result, uh the British uh government has recruited as advisors to the British government on combating Muslim extremism, people who belong to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood are the Wahhabi uh sect uh uh who have basically uh who are basically behind uh Al Qaeda.
It is it is completely insane.
And what they are refusing to do, you see, is is this.
It's all very well to say that there are many, many Muslims in Britain who are not radical and not extreme.
That is true.
However, there are a lot who are, and the question is why are they being radicalized and how are they being radicalized?
They're being radicalized because the British are not doing anything about the preaching and the teaching on British soil uh of uh hatred, of incitement to hatred, uh the preaching and teaching of hatred of America, hatred of the West, hatred of the Jews.
Now, in my view, what the British authority should be doing is saying to the Muslims in Britain, look, you are free to practice your faith here, we have no problem with that, we respect it, provided you practice it in accordance with the uh rules governing a civilized uh and democratic society.
But if you are preaching and teaching hatred, if you are inciting to violence and inciting to murder and inciting against the West, we're going to stop it.
We are going to make it our business to find out what you are preaching and teaching.
And if it's uh if it's okay, that that's fine.
But if it's not, we are going to prosecute you, we're going to imprison you, we're going to throw you out the country, we're going to stop it.
Now, the British won't do that because the British say we can't possibly act against the community because we'll turn it against us, uh, we'll make more radical, we can't interfere with people's religion, it's a kind of private space.
Uh we are we will be cooled, and we will consider ourselves even to be racist and prejudiced if we do this.
It's we I think you in America have some of the same kind of hang-ups, and as a result, the British state has been paralyzed.
And all credit to them for having discovered this plot in time.
But, you know, uh they're making this terrible mistake.
They think that what's required is simply the ability to penetrate terrorist cells, to break them up, to discover plots before they uh are allowed to uh to come to fruition.
And that obviously is absolutely vital and absolutely necessary.
But what they don't understand is that that is not the way we're going to win this thing, because it's not enough to break up the terrorist plots.
You've got to get at the ideas that are driving people to these terrible acts.
You've got to get at the lies and the propaganda uh uh that are in these people's heads, and it is a kind of demented stuff, and you've got to try and put a stop to that.
And until we grapple with that, until we realize that ideas kill in this context, until we realize that we're facing as much as anything a war to do with culture and religion, a religious war.
That is what's being prosecuted against us.
It is a jihad, it is a religious war.
While we are denying that, while we are denying the nature and the reality of what we're facing, I don't think we're going to get on top of this.
All right, Melanie Phillips, now just very quickly, can you identify any politicians in Britain who get it and who are uh advocating what you are saying?
Yes, there are one or two, but they are not really in the main in in in the fr in the front line of politics.
Uh uh there are uh there are I mean I I wouldn't have thought that you know you would necessarily uh have heard of of of some of them.
I mean, there's a there's a a young and rising politician called Michael Gove, for example, G O V E in the Conservative Party, who's in fact a very new member of Parliament.
He absolutely gets it.
He understands uh that this is a holy war that the that the uh that the West is facing.
Right.
But I'm afraid he is nowhere near the seat of power, I'm afraid.
Melanie Phillips with us, uh her book is Lundunstan to give you an idea and a background of uh what went on and and and uh what went on yesterday in the headlines.
There's a lot more to it.
Melanie Phillips, thank you so much for being with us.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Heleny.
Great We're we're gonna have uh a break.
I'm Roger Hedgecock on the Rush Limbaugh program and be back with your reaction to that and some latest polling data of American attitudes on this issue after this.
Roger Hedgecock in for uh Rush Limbaugh.
Now uh let's pick up on the point of um the last point made by uh our author, because this um this uh country is waking up.
And yesterday's news had much to do with it.
Before yesterday's news, the um investors business daily did a poll.
This is not going to get uh widespread uh you know mainstream drive-by media attention, so listen up because you're gonna hear something here that is going to give you a great deal of comfort.
America is waking up.
Do you agree?
This is the first question, and I'm gonna give you the questions of the polls so you understand how this goes.
Do you agree or disagree?
Militant Islamism, as they put it, militant Islamism is no less a threat in the twenty-first century than uh Nazism, fascism, and in communism were in the twentieth century.
Now that's a big statement.
Militant Islam is as great a threat in our century as the twentieth century threats from Nazis, fascists, and communists.
Wow.
Fifty one percent agree.
It's fifty-five percent among Republicans, it's fifty percent among Democrats.
About the same number of Connecticut voters that voted for Lieberman.
Very interesting.
Second question.
I am very concerned about the rising tide of Isla Islamo fascism and its desire to establish a worldwide Muslim rule.
Sixty-three percent agree.
Sixty-three.
Forty-three percent of those agree strongly.
And this is, I think another one of these wake-up calls to uh independent voters and Democrats for that matter.
Uh 58% doubt that diplomacy and negotiation are of much use in dealing with Islamic fascists bent on destroying Western civilization.
Wow.
I believe Iran is the main promoter of Islamo fascism in the Middle East.
Agree or disagree.
Fifty-seven percent agree.
Fifty-five percent of Democrats agree.
These are strong numbers.
How about this one?
It will take a strong commitment by the United States as the West's lone superpower to eliminate the threat of militant Islamism.
Ned Lamont's entire campaign is we've got to get out.
Our war is generating more terrorism rather than less.
You don't defeat them by killing them, you defeat them by talking to them.
They can be talked out of their uh fascism.
If only we were talking.
Strong commitment by the U.S. as the lone superpower.
Uh again, 59% agree.
52% of Democrats agree.
Iran must be prevented at any cost from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Wow.
Seventy-six percent agree.
Sixty-eight percent of Democrats agree.
Iran must be prevented at any cost from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Um there you have it, uh the latest in a poll you will not hear about unless you go to the Investors' Business Daily, a wonderful uh newspaper.
Uh gallup poll out.
This is the one that will get widespread printing.
Many Americans uh harbor negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith.
Um you will hear all of this, and it uh certainly is not the story.
The story is not the Muslim faith.
The story is are we waking up to the Islamic fascism that the President discussed yesterday, and are we prepared as a nation, as the lone superpower of the West to stand against it, even if it means we'd rather be right than popular, even if it means the French don't like us, and uh Lamon uh has bad editorials.
Even if it means uh that we're going to have to get a coalition of the free and the willing to once again, as we did in World War II, forget about world opinion and concentrate on victory, because the alternative is the extinction of our way of life.
And our very life indeed.
I'm Roger Hedgecock.
In for Rush Limbaugh, back after the under fire in his own country uh by a large majority of Israelis, the uh prime minister of Israel has ordered now uh a ground offensive into Lebanon.
The ceasefire is not going to work because basically it was a request for the surrender of Israel, and that ain't gonna happen.
We'll have more on that.
Eric and uh Fargo, North Dakota.
We got about a minute.
Eric, go ahead.
Hi, Roger.
Uh say with one of the failed bombers uh being a white convert, something that really caught me off guard, and I was wondering if that could be possibly be a trend going forward.
And is it true the ACLU wants to set up terrorist recruiting booths next to our armed services?
No.
But Eric, I uh I tell you, uh the uh we had the Richard Reed, who was the the white uh uh in your vocabulary, the white uh British convert to Islam.
The common the common denominator here is radical Islam.
It is not white, black, uh or it's not race.
The common denominator is do you believe that killing infidels is God's command?
