Time Text
Hi, folks, and welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
A living legend, a doctor of democracy, truth detector, all combined into one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Firmly ensconced here behind the golden EIB microphone and a limbo institute for advanced conservative studies.
The uh phone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-288-2, and the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
All right.
Uh the Washington Post is attempting to destroy George Allen.
And I consider this a good sign in terms of why.
Uh they must fear George Allen uh as a serious Republican presidential possibility.
Uh I love George Allen.
I like him.
I uh like his family.
Uh is this one of the most decent down to earth solid individuals that you'll ever meet.
And he uh the Washington Post trying to destroy him over a uh a comment that he made uh at a uh public appearance that then just won't let go of this.
And the whole drive-by media is now uh on this, trying to portray this guy as some sort of a racist pig.
Uh I want to I want to discuss this uh uh and use some audio sound bites to illustrate a few things that the drive-by media miss.
Let's go to the audio tape.
This is uh August 11th in Virginia, a portion of Senator George Allen's remarks to uh um S. R. Siddharth, uh Jim Webb staffer who is following him in taping.
Jim Webb's his opponent.
Uh it's number nine, uh uh audio soundbite uh number nine.
And then after that, we'll do number ten, and after that, number eleven, and after that, number twelve, and after that, thirteen, and then after that we'll go to fourteen.
So basically cuts nine through fourteen on tap here, uh, starting first with Senator Allen.
Friends, we're gonna run this campaign on positive constructive ideas.
And it's important that we motivate and inspire people for something.
This fella here over here with the yellow shirt, macaca, or whatever his name is, he's with my opponent.
He's following us around everywhere.
And it's just great.
We're going to places all over Virginia.
And he's having it on film, and it's great to have you here, and you show it to your opponent because he's never been there and probably will never come.
So it's opponent actually right now is with a bunch of Hollywood movie monkles.
We care about fact, not fiction.
So welcome, let's give a welcome to macaca here.
Welcome to America and the real world of protection.
All right.
All right.
Now, macaca, uh, that's that's the word, and everybody's now debating what did he mean with macaca.
Now, macaca is a word for monkey.
Well, uh, all you have to remember is Howard Cosell.
Uh, when you hear that.
Allen uh was on Good Morning America today to uh talking to ABC uh correspondent.
Well, actually, this is a qu this is not it's it's it's a montage of the ABC infobabe Jessica Yellen's report on uh on Senator Allen, and then she declares here that uh that macaca will haunt George Allen for years to come.
George Allen is considered a Republican superstar, a safe bet to keep his seat in the Senate, and a serious presidential contender.
There you go.
Oh, how quickly presidential and political fates can change.
It happened at a campaign appearance.
The Senator used a little known racial slur, macaca, to apparently mock a man of Indian descent.
Literally, macaca describes an Asian monkey.
But in Europe and some immigrant communities in America, macaca is used as a racial slur.
It's not the first time Senator Allen has been accused of racial insensitivity.
As governor, he issued a proclamation praising the Confederacy without mentioning slavery.
In the age of the internet, you can be sure the gaff will continue to hunt Senator Allen for years to come.
Hell, who needs the internet, Jessica?
We can count on you to do it.
We can count on you and ABC and the Washington Post to do it.
Sick with me on this, folks.
Uh Makaka in uh immigrant communities in Europe and some immigrant communities in America is used as a racial slur.
Allen uh says doesn't he meant to say Mohawk that the the guy reminded him of a Mohawk, even though he doesn't have a Mohawk haircut.
Um point is it's it's this it's it's it's absurd uh and ridiculous to make such a big deal out of this and it being it's being done because you just heard her say it.
Serious presidential contender.
The Washington Post is out to destroy George Allen.
They want to keep him out of the Senate, and they certainly want to derail any presidential aspirations that he has.
Now, as for this business that as governor he issued a proclamation praising the Confederacy without mentioning slavery.
Byron York weighed in on this today at National Review Online.
In all the controversy over George Allen's use of the word macaque, commentators and news reports are bringing up the Senator's alleged fondness for all things Confederate.
It's not surprising, but it's useful to remember that the Confederate issue stirred up a few months by a long New Republic article, mostly disappeared after the Richmond Times dispatch looking into why Democrat James Webb had not criticized Allen over the new republic piece, reported the Richmond Times dispatch reporter that Webb himself has expressed deep reverence for the Confederacy.
In May, the Times Dispatch published an article, Webb Speech praised Confederate Army.
In 1990, the Senate hopeful spoke of forebears sacrifices that discussed a speech Webb gave at the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery on June 3rd, 1990.
The entire text of the speech is available at Webb's website.
It's worth reading, and Byron then lists some excerpts here.
And let me just give you the last paragraph.
I'm compelled today to remember a number of ancestors who lie in graves far away from Arlington.
Two died fighting for the Confederacy, one in Virginia, the other in a prisoner camp in Illinois after having been captured in Tennessee.
Another served three years in the Virginia cavalry and survive, naming the next child to spring from his loins, Robert E. Lee Webb, a name that my grandfather also held, and which has passed along in bits and pieces through many others, such as my cousin Roger Lee Webb, present today, and my son James Robert Webb, also present.
So they're out there ripping Allen to shreds for praising the Confederacy and not mentioning slavery, and they're wondering how come Webb hadn't done that zeroed in on that, because Webb has done the same thing.
But you didn't hear Jessica Yellen mention that, did you?
No, you didn't.
Let's go to Mr. Makaka himself, uh saying that uh George Allen met him before he made the comment.
Should have remembered his name this on CNN this morning with correspondent Andrea Koppel.
Ask him uh how he felt about uh Allen calling him macaca.
I was disappointed that someone like a senator of the United States would use something completely offensive.
He shook my hand.
He also is very good with names, legendarily.
He tries very hard to learn people's name when he's meeting them.
Does this guy sound like he's a verge of tears?
I didn't see this.
Don, you're a you're a woman, you know, tears.
Uh did he sound like he was he was crying?
No.
Did he sound hurt?
Okay, they're just trying to sound intellectual.
Uh, I was uh someone like uh uh Senator.
All right, so that's um that's S. R. Siddharth, who is stalking Alan on behalf of his opponent James Webb.
Uh let's let's go back to the archive, shall we?
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, for some comments Democrats uh have made that received scant attention, and never was it said about any of these people that due to the internet, these comments would haunt these commentators for years to come.
First up, Hillary Robin Clinton, January 3rd, 2004 in St. Louis.
I love this quote.
It's from Mahatma Gandhi.
He ran a gas station down in uh St. Louis for a couple of years.
Mr. Gandhi, you guys still go to the gas station?
A lot of wisdom comes out of that gas station.
Okay, yes, a Mahatma McGandi pumping gas in St. Louis.
He wrote to the left, pumping gas, and it's ain't nothing against gas pumpers.
Uh Sometimes people do it themselves.
I don't.
Well, I did the other day, told you about that.
Moving on.
Let's uh let's go to March 4th, 2001 on Fox News Sunday, Senator Robert Byrd.
There are white niggers.
I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time when you use that word.
We just need to work together to make our country a better country.
And I just soon quit talking about it so much.
Yeah.
Don't recall anybody in a drive-by media being concerned about the internet's ability to keep that comment alive for years to come.
And recently, Manchester, New Hampshire, June 17th, ranking Democrat, U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Joseph Biden.
In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving from India.
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or Duncan Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Not much up.
Oh, yeah.
Here's compassion, an open-minded, not bigoted Democrat meeting a man of Indian descent in the airport, immediately insulting the guy by saying all the Indians in Delaware are in 7-Elevens and Dunkin' Donuts, and unless you go in there with an Indian accent, uh, you don't have a chance.
And if it weren't for the EIB network, uh we wouldn't be exposing this to you over and over again, as the drive-by media will do to George Allen.
Washington Post has done two days on this.
Uh one of my uh one of my staff is Spanish and informs me that the word macaca in Spanish means clown.
Well, I can see why that would offend somebody.
Uh an immigrant committee, yeah, calling somebody a clown.
Uh that's worse than calling somebody a white N-word.
Uh I guess that's far worse than uh making fun of Mahatma Gandhi and other Indians pumping gas in St. Louis.
I had forgotten that.
Mr. Snerdley reminds me that Bush 41.
That'd have been a 92 campaign, right?
Uh called uh Clinton Gore a couple of bozos, and the uh drive-by media went.
You can't call people clowns, I guess.
Bozos, macacas, uh uh what have you.
Welcome back, uh ladies and gentlemen.
This this sort of surprising from Grinnell, Iowa.
Senator John McCain said yesterday that there is lingering resentment among some Republicans because of his primary fight in 2000 with George W. Bush.
Those feelings may complicate his decision whether to seek the presidential nomination for 2008, said uh McCain of the media in Arizona.
If I run, he said, and we'll decide that early next year, there's a lot of work to do.
McCain said as he began a two-day visit to Iowa, which uh traditionally holds leadoff cockeye in January of presidential election years.
Here in Iowa, there are parts of the party where there's still lingering resentment over the bitterness of the 2000 race.
In 2000, McCain skipped the Hawkeye Calcai and opened his campaign with the New Hampshire primary.
He beat Bush there, but the Texas governor overtook him in later primaries in South Carolina was a uh very feverish battleground.
Hasn't decided yet.
It may not run because of this.
This is the first I've heard of this.
May not run.
Uh let's review, shall we, what the resentment is over?
Uh Senator McCain describes this resentment, this lingering resentment.
Uh some of the resentment is due to Senator McCain's attacks on the religious right.
Uh there are a lot of people that resent Senator McCain's authorship and sponsorship of the campaign finance reform act limiting free speech.
Uh there are people with uh lingering resentment over Senator McCain's attacks on tax cuts.
Uh there are uh some people with lingering resentment over Senator McCain's role in the gang of fourteen regarding judicial um nominations, and there's some suspicion and resentment aimed at Senator McCain over his uh coziness with the drive-by media.
Uh so if we're gonna talk about resentments out there, um bitterness or what have you of best to get it on the table.
Kittery Maine and Dennis, you're up next on the EIB network.
Hello.
How are you doing, Rush?
Long time listener, first time caller.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, I think uh Senator Allen is uh he really I think he's got himself in big trouble here because a more blatant ethnic slur, I don't think I've heard in a long time.
Right out in public at a campaign, he singles out an individual of ethnic descent and uses a word mukaka, an American.
He almost changed languages to take a shot at this guy, and I think he deserves whatever he gets.
He just opens himself up uh for all sorts of shots from liberals.
Well, are you a liberal?
No, I'm uh I'm a conservative Republican.
Well, then he's opened himself up to shots from you, too.
And and conservatives as well, as of this point, at least one.
I don't know.
Well, I met another when I was up there.
Who uses the word Mukaka?
I am not using that word.
I am not I am not going to defend uh Senator Allen on this.
I never heard of the word before.
Oh, you got to go in your way to the case.
I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something.
I have I have two thoughts on this.
There is no sense of proportion here, which is what I attempted to uh illustrate here with sound bites of outrageous, insensitive comments made by Democrats, and they do it all the time, and they get away with it.
In fact, Senator Biden, after that slur against Indian people, he went on some television, I guess it was MSNBC, and the info babe said, Senator, could you explain this?
And he mouthed whatever his explanation was, and she smiled and she batted those eyelashes, and she said, Thank you for straightening this out.
And it was over with.
It was done.
No big deal.
The second point I want to make is that I think uh as one who's in the free speech business, I think this society is so wound up tight about words and things that it is it's gone to the point of being ridiculous.
And especially when the criticism is so out of proportion, uh it's you know, it's just you know, let let people say what they say and and and let the let the chips fall as they may uh and so forth, but what this this is doing far more than that.
This is an attempt uh to totally destroy somebody over this.
Uh and and I as somebody who utters words 15 hours a week, I'm especially sensitive to this, and the same thing has been tried against me over the course of the uh now 18 plus years uh that uh that I have been doing this.
I think I just I just I think we're way too sensitive, way too wound up over a whole bunch of things that really don't matter.
For example, and this is something that that just really blew me away.
I'm watching CNN.
We played these sound bites for you, don't have time to get them now.
Don't worry, cookie.
I can handle this without sound bites.
We played soundbite, a couple soundbites between Anderson Cooper of CNN and some guy for the New Yorker, and they're talking about Hassan Nasralla, the head honcho of the Hesbows.
And they are just marveling at his open anti-Semitism.
They're talking about how interesting it is.
Now, this is a terrorist.
This is a man who has killed his own people by strapping bombs on them and sending them out to blow up Israelis.
This is a man who is a known, proud, admitted terrorist, and they're marveling at his anti-Semitism, and they're openly curious about why he's so upfront about it.
Because obviously it makes it much tougher to support him if he's so anti-Semitic.
At the same time, Mel Gibson was being excoriated, buried, wiped out for a drunken spiel, after being stopped by a cop, asking a cop, are you a Jew?
The Jews are responsible for all the Wars in the world.
Shortly after that, a guy goes into a Jewish center in Seattle and blows people away, and nobody wants to call it what it is, and nobody had a oh, he you know recently converted to Christianity.
I don't think we should jump to conclusions on this.
So of these three instances, who do we destroy?
Or who do we try to destroy?
Nell Gibson.
For words uttered when he was inebriated.
Meanwhile, a terrorist is pondered curiously about his anti Semitism, and real acts of anti-Semitism are not called that.
I think we're way too hung up on words here, and we don't get serious enough about actions that are truly damaging, dangerous, and detrimental.
Back in a second.
It's true, Snurgley with an observation, which is about time, his official program observer.
Says, you know, at last call, we never we never hear libs attack libs, never criticize libs when they uh go over the line.
Uh our side always attacks our side when they think they go over the line.
Let's not forget these two things either.
How about Chris Matthews?
Uh back during the election, uh, Ned Lament and uh and Lieberman described Lieberman as a schmaltzy ethnic guy, uh, an uncle Tenuse.
Well, hell's bells.
We all know what that means.
It's just a way of calling him a an odd-looking Jewish guy.
Chris Matthews, member of the drive-by media, schmaltzy ethnic guy, uncle Tanuse.
And then the Huffington Post.
Some babe that really loved Lament, hated Lieberman, put a picture of Clinton and Lieberman up there with Lieberman in blackface.
And then, and we didn't hear any.
Yeah, we're photoshopped.
Lieberman in blackface, uh, big big white eyes and so forth.
We never we never hear any condemnation of that in the drive-by media, but yet here we go.
Uh, with uh George Allen now singled out for two days in a row by the Washington Post.
Uh, and that's right, Clinton.
Bill Clinton was up there in uh in Martha's Vineyard, and he was wearing an Afro wig at some party or something, and the pictures were suppressed because he was on vacation.
He's on vacation.
Clinton wearing an Afro wig.
So there is uh there is clearly a double standard out there, ladies and gentlemen, and it's way, way out of proportion.
Now, try this.
A Democrat political ad under fire from Hispanics who say it unfairly compares Latino immigrants to terrorists.
Well, at least didn't call them macaques.
A Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sponsored a 35-second ad on its website.
This is the thing run by Chuck Schumer, that shows footage of two people scaling a border fence mixed with images of Osama bin Laden and North Korea president Kim Jong-il.
Pedro Celis, the chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, said in a statement Tuesday that the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee should remove the ad because it vilifies illegal immigrant Hispanic immigrants and is appalling.
Houston City Councilwoman Carol Alvarado, a Democrat, sent a letter to Chuck Schumer asking the ad be pulled.
She said it could alienate Latino voters.
To liken Latino immigrants to bazooka toting terrorists not only undermines the positive relationship our party has with this community, but also lowers us to a despicable level as breeders of unfounded fear and hatred.
The DH DSCC, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Phil Singer dismissed the group's criticism as a Republican group trying to gloss over the White House's abysmal record on security.
So the Democrats to the Hispanics, screw you.
We're not changing our ad.
We like it, even though the city councilwoman from Houston is not a Republican and is Hispanic herself.
Robert J. Samuelson today, column in the Washington Post, as you know, he's one of my favorite columnists on economics.
This is an age of glaring contradictions, he begins.
It's hard to ignore the great disconnect between the rise of terrorism and the relentless Advance of the world economy.
After September 11, 2001, the fear was that terrorism and its nasty side effects might cripple economic growth and frustrate the spread of globalization.
Hasn't happened, not yet anyway.
Since 2001, the world economies expanded more than 20%.
For the U.S., the gain's almost 15%.
For developing countries, more than 30%.
World trade exports and imports has risen by more than 30%.
One obvious explanation is that in the U.S. there's been no second or third September 11th.
Beyond that, economic resilience partly reflects human nature.
People in businesses try to get back to normal.
It's what they know best.
Likewise, skillful crisis management after September 11th, uh blunted terrorism's long-term effect on economic confidence.
The result is that so far terrorism has been an economic blank.
It is an interesting proposition, isn't it?
Let me go back here to the opening paragraph.
It's hard to ignore the great disconnect between the rise of terrorism and the relentless advance of the world economy.
Well, that's the only thing Mr. Samuelson writes that I disagree with.
Democrats do this every day.
It's not hard for them to ignore it.
They have been ignoring a robust economy ever since the economy was robust.
And when the economy is robust, they claim it isn't.
And when it isn't robust, if they're in charge, they blame Republicans.
Here's uh Larry, St. Petersburg, Florida on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Uh hello, Rush.
It's an honor and a pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you.
Uh as an American Jew, I uh recall the hypocrisy regarding the Senator Allen uh issue.
Uh that uh Slick Willie's religious advisor and former Democratic presidential candidate, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, in his Jaime comment.
Oh, yeah, Jaime Town, yes.
Yes.
Uh uh uh what was that?
Was that a anti-Semitic comment or what?
Uh yes, it was, but uh the uh Reverend Jackson is permitted because uh as a as a black he is powerless.
And the way the way liberals I'm serious, the way liberals explain this is that uh blacks can't be racist because they have no power to enforce their racism.
They can't be bigots because they have no power to be bigots, so they're exempt.
I see.
And uh but he is an exempt uh uh uh Democrat.
Uh is exempt as a Democrat, yes.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Well, that makes sense to me.
I mean, when he said that he wasn't a Democrat.
He was a black leader, suffering duress and this and the pressures of slavery and leading his people out of bondage.
Well, I guess that's equal to clown.
You know, you're you're you're people think I'm joking about this with these answers.
I'm not trying to be funny.
That is how it was justified.
Plus, the Democrats aren't gonna criticize Jesse Jackson and newspapers aren't gonna aren't gonna criticize Jesse Jackson in any way, shape, manner, or form.
It uh it isn't gonna happen.
By the way, you've just your call reminds me of something uh that I have here in the stack about uh about Ned Lament and Al Sharpton.
Sharpton's warning him uh not to the pictures of uh of election night with Sharpton and the uh Reverend Dax uh standing side by side next Ned Lament.
Jackson or Sharpton Rhetor is warning Lament not to stop using that picture.
Uh let's see I've got to find this here.
Here it is.
The Reverend Sharpton, who drew notice for appearing on television behind Mr. Lament during Lament's primary victory speech said yesterday he spoke to Lament by phone.
I told Lament, don't listen to the right wing saying you can't win with Sharpton and Jesse Jackson by your side, because you already did win with Sharpton and Jackson with you.
He can't let the right wing pressure him in subtracting supporters from his side.
He has to focus on addition.
Lieberman Aides said that Mr. Lament's association with Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson, both of whom campaigned vigorously for Mr. Lament, was a political albatross that helped explain why Mr. Lieberman believed he could win a majority of voters.
So I guess Reverend Sharpton's concerned about being photoshopped out.
Of the pictures.
Alex in Stanton, Virginia.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Great to be with you.
Fifth time on the air ditto Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I want to go back to the global warming thing, because you said something that was spot on.
That scientists are constantly amazed at the new discoveries they're making, which shows just how little they know.
And I wanted to alert you to something that's coming out in one of the top journals next month, geophysical research letters.
It's a report by three scientists, Lyman Willis, and Johnson with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jet Propulsion Lab, and University of Hawaii.
And the short story is uh twenty over twenty percent of the heat in the oceans that built up over the last fifty years just went poof out into space between two thousand and three and two thousand and five.
And they had no idea this was gonna happen.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The oceans have lost twenty percent of their heat in since since when?
Between two thousand and three and two thousand and five.
In two years, twenty percent of the heat built up over fifty years just went poof out into space.
Well, no.
If this was the other way around, it would already be front page New York Times News, but because it cuts, undercuts the whole, we're messing with the climate system and we know what's how it all works, and they they're not talking about it.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't explain that at all.
I can I can I can I can figure this out, and I'm not a scientist.
The heat in the ocean just didn't go someplace.
I mean, it may not be in the ocean, but it's clearly in the air, and the air is hotter.
And they can they can find a way to twist it into global warming and cause it uh uh damage to the ocean, global warming dash it and then what what effect will this have on the poor fish uh and so forth.
That is interesting.
They know why.
Yeah, there's a uh it's it's real complex, and I'm not a climate physicist, but they've got uh a mechanism whereby the upper atmosphere clouds are altered, which means more of the heat can radiate out into space.
And so that there's apparently some sort of planetary mechanism uh to uh occasionally sweat off a bunch of the heat that's built up.
And none of that's in the climate models that say we're the problem and we're the cause.
And it just exactly reinforces your point.
They're constantly amazed, and we should all remind ourselves they don't know diddly squat when it comes to this climate.
And by the way, that's that's not a criticism.
When I when I say they don't know Diddly Squat, um I I think it's arrogant for anybody in the scientific community to say they do know everything.
It science ought to be about being stunned.
It ought to be about discovery.
It ought not be about political agenda leading belief systems to be etched in stone.
And I'm not even a scientist, and I can figure that out.
It's pretty brilliant what I just said.
Science ought well, it is Don.
You can sit there and laugh all day if you want, but science ought to be about being stunned.
It ought to be about discovery and explanation, but it's not in some places.
It's become purely political.
Uh and and uh beliefs become etched in stone, and any contravailing evidence, contravening evidence of an etched in stone scientific belief now causes panic rather than excitement and discover.
I like this Pluto business.
You know, what's that gonna do to astrology now?
Uh there's more going on out there than we can possibly know.
Try this.
I found this cool website the other day called scienceagogo.com.
And they have this story on there, an improved method of measuring Antarctic snowfall has revealed that previous records showing an increase in precipitation are not accurate even over a um half century.
In the August 10th edition of Science Magazine, researchers explained that their analysis of ice cores and snow pits revealed that precipitation levels in the Antarctic have in fact remained steady.
The upshot of the study is that models assessing climate change may need to be revised as uh they can no longer be deemed accurate.
Proving again that they really don't know much about anything when it comes to climate, climate change, and so forth.
To overturn the world economy based on the musings of a few idiot leftist scientists is just stupid, and that's what global warming is actually all about.
So will they change the models on global warming?
Well, more study will be required.
This is just evidence that something's going on that uh that uh uh needs to be spun in such a way as to prove global warming.
At any rate, on a little long here, we've got to go back in just a second.
And I'm reminded that the Reverend Sharpton himself uh has uh committed several verbal gaffs, referring to an owner of a store in Harlem as a Jew interloper.
Uh, you remember that he was talking about the owner of Freddie's fashion martyr in Harlem.
Some quick news headlines from Zimbabwe.
President Robert Mugabe admitted yesterday that Zimbabweans were begging for food because of his mass seizure of white owned farms.
Mugabe essentially admits that his farm policy has failed.
Now will the Democrats here admit that their great society bombed out too.
Mugabe can do it.
Anybody can do it.
This is gonna feed Cooksville like few things ever have.
The U.S. government has misplaced the original recording of the first moon landing, including astronaut Neil Armstrong's famous one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind comment, according to a NASA spokesman on Monday.
Armstrong's famous moon walk seen by millions is among transmissions that NASA has failed to turn up in a year of searching.
In all some 700 boxes of transmissions from the Apollo lunar missions are missing.
Those images are of lower quality.
I got copies of the TV broadcasts and all that, but the originals they don't have.
Uh and those copies are of lower quality than the originals stored on the missing magnetic tapes.
Hmm.
Many of you know the moon walk never happened.
Many of you know nobody ever landed on the moon.
This proves it.
Uh headline LA Times, factory shift manufacturers struggle to fill highly paid jobs.
I thought I was surprised by this headline because I thought uh we didn't make anything anymore.
Here's uh Pam in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Thanks for making my call.
Thank you.
I find it unbelievable that of all the good that we're doing in Iraq, you never see it on TV and the media, the front page, that Hezbollah goes in to rebuild Southern Lebanon, and it's all over the news.
Can somebody please explain that to me?
It's come on.
Come on, Pam.
Do you actually need it to be explained?
No, I just wanted to bring it to people's attention.
I mean, the leftist wants us to lose if they knew all the good we were doing over there.
The American people would totally uh it would be just amazing how everybody would be behind the war in Iraq.
That's a great, it's a great point.
The Hezbows have rebuilt Lebanon already.
Uh we're destroying Iraq.
Let me go up to Evansville, Indiana.
This is Stephanie.
Uh I have about 45 seconds, but I know I can squeeze you in.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh hi, Russ.
Thanks for taking my call.
I've just listened to you talk about the uh global warming issue and how things with global warming are not really what they seem, and scientists are conflicted with all this information.
I just think it's a big conspiracy that basically they're gonna tell us everything's so horrible out as a Republican administration, and then when the Democrats get in office, all of a sudden everything's gonna be, oh, well, we found out that it really wasn't as bad as we thought it was, and it's all because we signed the Kyoto Treaty, or I can understand.
I can understand why you might think that if the globe starts cooling, Democrats will take credit for their exhaustive work on global warming, but I don't think they can afford to let go of the issue.
Because the issue is about big government.
Worldwide big government, high taxes, rolling back lifestyles.
It's about the spread of liberalism back in just a second.
Well, the fastest three hours in media are complete, ladies and gentlemen.
Everything else you hear today will be redundant.
