Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
Greetings to your thrill seekers, music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane.
America waiting with baited breath for the press conference in Boulder, Colorado.
As nobody can make sense of this.
I frankly don't know how many of our great radio stations are even carrying this program right now, and probably carrying it now because the press conference hasn't started, but I I want to warn you, I I have no clue how many of our uh great stations will uh will cover that press conference.
We are not going to cover the press conference here.
Uh we'll simply report to you if there's any news beyond what's known already after it's uh over with.
Um Rush Limboy here for three hours of broadcast excellence, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address is rush at EIB net.com.
Um as to this Ramsey business.
This is this is this is kooky here.
This guy is definitely an oddball.
He's uh of of of the first order.
Uh I know we're not supposed to judge people by the way they look, but sometimes you just can't help it.
But you know, one of the things that struck me before getting into the specifics of this, is that for ten years, the drive-by media had a an umbrella of suspicion over the parents.
For ten years, everybody thought the mother did it.
For ten years, everybody thought maybe they cooked up the scheme themselves.
Nobody could figure out why, but they always uh uh were under that that cloud of suspicion.
Now, this guy in Bangkok, is that where he was?
Thailand, Thailand, whatever you do Bangkok is the city in the world with the largest number of prostitutes per capita.
I only know that because I think it fits with the name of the town.
Uh at any rate, uh uh the the this this guy comes forward.
Now everybody has simply just forgotten about the the Ramseys and the drive-by media uh has you know just just moved on here.
There's a lot of doubt here.
This guy's wife has told KGO TV in San Francisco that uh he couldn't possibly have done it, that uh he was with her in Alabama uh on uh on the night, the day that this uh it happened, Christmas in 1996.
So the press conference has begun, and uh I have no idea how long this thing is gonna go.
Uh and as I say, uh I know those of you watching on the Ditto Cam and those of you listening to the web stream uh are hearing their program, but I do not know how many of our stations have bumped out yet.
So the reason I mention that is because I don't want to I don't want to uh waste a whole bunch of good stuff here if uh some of the stations are carrying this uh this press conference.
As I say, we will divulge whatever information the DA out there has, uh name is Mary Lacey, when we uh when we have it.
Let me review some of the things we're gonna talk about on the program today.
Uh I was I was livid last night.
I really got burned up when I saw this headline.
Bush is crap, says Prescott.
Uh Prescott, uh, the deputy prime minister of the UK, Great Britain, uh criticizing the U.S. handling of the Middle East, condemning cowboy president at a private meeting of British uh members of Parliament who are Muslim.
And then Jimmy Carter, uh, who is uh ladies and gentlemen, I just I'm just gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna put this out there point blank.
Uh Jimmy Carter, whose conduct to me is traitorous.
In this interview with Der Spiegel, leading magazine in Germany, uh, is that he is just simply a disgrace.
He was a disgrace, he's been the most disastrous president in the modern era of this country.
And now he's in Der Spiegel, just like Clinton, traveling around the world and offering all of these cutting criticisms of his own country, uh, and criticizing the president of the United States.
Uh it is just infuriating.
Uh Bill Clinton was handed a world in relative peace.
The Soviet Union was destroyed, it was still too much for him to handle.
And now we've got we've got Jimmy Carter.
Uh Jimmy Carter, I I I lay the death of tens of thousands on Jimmy Carter's head.
The death of tens of thousands of people on his head, given his disastrous Iran policy, uh his disastrous North Korean policy in the early days of the Clinton administration, and now this this interview with their Spiegel uh in in which which to me wreeks of of just plain and simple traitorous uh uh conduct.
And this this British MP, the the well, the deputy prime minister Prescott, who's a drunk, uh big union hack, a slob, uh, is now saying Bush is crap and so forth.
I'm frankly I'm getting fed up.
Uh I have I'm getting fed up with you leftists who offer zero.
You offer nothing substantive.
All you have is personal animus and hatred.
I get people asking me all the time, why is this country so partisan?
How come it's gotten so polarized right now?
I'll tell you exactly why.
It's because of a bunch of spoiled brat leftists who think that power is theirs by birthright, cannot win elections.
To save their lives, they cannot win elections.
And rather than try to examine what it is they're doing wrong and how it is they've lost touch with so many millions of Americans.
They react with childlike, spoiled brat rage and hatred, and they have now descended into the first stages of utter madness.
That's why this country is so polarized.
Uh and it's it's you know, a lot of people want to blame it on all the new media.
Uh and uh the the various uh programs on radio and television.
That's that's not it at all.
Uh the there is there is uh uh there are other explanations for this, but this is just it's it's gotten to the point now that it's absurd.
Bush is crap, Bush is a cowboy, Bush is Hitler, Bush is this.
Uh uh there there is no rationality to it.
Uh and we're gonna deal with this in greater detail as the program unfolds.
The the Prescott story, the Jimmy Carter interview in uh in Der Spiegel.
We have news uh about Ned Lament, Ned Lament is uh trailing badly to Lieberman now in uh Poland, Connecticut, of likely voters 53 to um 41 percent.
He was on hardball uh last night, he was on Cudlow and company last night, uh uh he's all over the place, being coached by um a bunch of uh media types on how to behave and how to say things and how to uh uh advance his uh his loony tunes I compared himself to Ronald Reagan uh last night on television.
The guy's the guy's just an absolute he's a he's a zit.
Then the French.
Let's let's move over to the Middle East right now.
Get this.
Countries that could contribute to an expanded UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon were gathering uh uh today to find out how the troops will operate.
And UN officials hope that many would commit soldiers.
France, meanwhile wants to send a small, purely symbolic contingent to the force, and the UN is trying to convince French officials that such a decision would be devastating.
Though France has been widely expected to lead the force, the newspaper Le Monde reported that it planned to contribute merely ten officers and two hundred military engineers.
So the French are getting cold feet, the uh the French are backing out.
They were supposed to lead this thing.
Kofi Annan expected to call President Chirac to persuade France to make a larger commitment.
What what what was this resolution all about?
Classic, folks, classic illustration of utter irrelevance and uselessness, uh, the piece of paper that any piece of paper that claims to be a resolution coming out of the uh United Nations.
Uh what they want to know now, Lebanon Lebanon Lebanese military forces are trickling into the uh area uh near the border of uh Israel and Lebanon, but it's not susp there are people questioning whether or not they'll actually have enough to get 15,000 troops uh into the uh into the area.
So more absurdity uh uh just uh prevailing here in the aftermath of the Israeli Hezbollah, which, by the way, the war is not over.
Round one, if you will, it's going to bubble up.
Amir Teheri, who we quote on this program often, uh cites the Limbaugh doctrine in his piece today.
Doesn't cite it by name, but says what the international diplomatic community has done here has stepped in prematurely and prevented a legitimate outcome here.
That there has to be an outcome.
One side has to win, one side has to lose before any of this is ever going to get solved.
It's exactly what all these resolutions have done from the get-go.
They have promoted more war.
They have led to more deaths, more human suffering, and more human killing, uh, in the words of uh of Kofi Annan, and that's what's happened here.
This is all BS, none of it's substantive, it's not going to lead to anything productive.
I don't know how long it's going to be before the hostilith is reignite, but uh rest assured that they will.
Brief timeout will come back.
Continue with broadcast excellence right after this.
Take a look at some of the headlines.
By the way, I I don't think they've said anything new in this press conference.
Total waste of time.
Thanking everybody, praising themselves for all the great work they've done.
Uh taking limited questions and so forth, total total waste of time.
We don't know any more now than we did uh before the press conference, John Bonnet Ramsey murder uh press conference.
Uh something strange about this guy, just uh you you if you if you face jail somewhere, Thailand or the United States, where would you prefer it to be?
Might he have confessed to this just to get himself out of Thailand?
Who the hell knows?
We'll find out in um in due course.
Take a look at some of the news headlines today.
I on election, Democrats run as Walmart Foe, New York Times.
Democrats counter GOP and Lieberman on Iraq, New York Times.
The media anymore is Democrats this, Democrats that, the voice of the Democrats speak, the New York Times leading all the rest of the drive-by media.
And get this just cleared the wires.
A federal judge just ruled that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.
Story out of Detroit.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which the judge says violates the rights to free speech and privacy.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars, and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs.
They believe that many of their overseas contacts are likely targets of the program, which involves wiretapping conversations between people in America and people in other countries.
The government argued the programs well within the president's authority, but said proving that would require revealing state secrets.
ACLU said that the state secrets argument was irrelevant because the Bush administration already had publicly revealed enough information about the program for Taylor to rule.
Did the uh oh, I know this woman.
This name rings a bell.
This judge.
Uh Anna Diggs Taylor.
Find out who appointed her.
Uh, we'll find out.
We think it's Jimmy Carter who appointed Anna Diggs Taylor.
That wouldn't be a big big surprise, but we are we're checking into it.
So um, once again, the American left makes of itself an obstacle in defeating and even waging war against this enemy.
Uh make no mistake, this enemy is all over this country.
It's all over the uh it's all over the world.
And uh this this same type of surveillance program that was used by Bill Clinton and a number of other uh presidents, nobody beefed about it, nobody complained about it.
This is liberals, ladies and gentlemen.
This is leftists, this is who they are.
They are untrustworthy.
Uh you I don't care where they are, liberals in Israel, liberals in Iraq, liberals in the Great Britain, liberals in Europe, liberals here.
They are liberals first, and everything else comes afterwards.
Second, third, and fourth, including patriotism and anything else.
Now they'll try to tell us we're being patriotic, we are protecting people's rights to privacy.
We are doing everything we can to make sure that the government's not spying on citizens.
They know that that is patently absurd.
The government isn't spying on American citizens.
The American government's not engaged in voyeurism here.
Uh they're engaged in a serious activity of uh of trying to defend and protect the country, and it's the American left that asserts itself as an obstacle, puts itself in the way of this effort, and they do so proudly.
And there are two words to explain this Bush hatred.
This would not be happening if there were a Democrat in the White House.
Bush hatred is the total explanation for this.
Speaking of Bush hatred, John Prescott has given vent to his private feelings about the Bush presidency, summing up Bush's administration in a single word.
Crap.
The Deputy Prime Minister's condemnation of President Bush and his approach to the Middle East could cause a diplomatic row, but it will please labor MPs who are furious, members of Parliament, furious about Tony Blair's backing of the U.S. over the bombing of Lebanon.
The remark is said to have been made at a private meeting in Prescott's White Hall office on Tuesday with Muslim MPs and other labor, i.e., liberal MPs, with constituencies representing large Muslim communities.
Muslim members of Parliament wanted to press home their objections to British foreign policy and discuss ways of improving relations with Muslim communities.
Some of these MPs present said yesterday they couldn't remember Prescott making the remark.
He's been at pains to avoid breaking ranks with Blair in public, although he's believed to have raised concern about the bombing of Lebanon at a private meeting of the cabinet.
Notice how nobody's concerned with the bombing of Israel.
Nobody is concerned with all the Katusha rockets that went into Israel and all the Israelis that were wounded and killed.
Nobody's concerned with that.
All we have to deal with is Muslim outrage.
There's Muslim outrage.
We can't stand this, and Bush administration is crap.
Well, let me tell you about this guy Prescott.
He's a drunk, he's a womanizer, he's a big slob, and he is a union hack.
He is an appeaser.
He is a coward.
Look at the enemy is all over London.
What just happened in London last week?
The enemy's all over London plotting and planning, and they still, this guy still talks like fools.
Like a fool.
Every one of these leftists sounds exactly like a fool.
And I'll tell you what, this is why, ladies and gentlemen, the elites worldwide love Clinton and why they hate Bush.
Clinton acts just like these people.
Bush is a family and religious man, unlike most of these people, and that intimidates them and that infuriates them.
They just have utter hatred.
They exhibit no substance, just raw, stupid emotion.
And these people, people like John Prescott and Jimmy Carter and all the rest, this judge in Detroit, they are as dangerous as the enemy because they are enabling the enemy.
They are in a in a de facto way siding with the enemy, and they're doing so on purpose.
I do not chalk it up to the fact that they're just ignorant or misguided.
They're doing it on purpose.
Bush hatred and hatred of conservatism.
Hatred of the fact that they don't run the world anymore.
Hatred of the fact that then when they do get a chance, such as the United Nations, they botch everything they do.
We have a little bio here of uh Anna Diggs Taylor, an attorney and judge Anna Diggs Taylor, the first African American woman appointed to a federal judgeship in Michigan.
Later became the first African American woman to be named chief federal judge in the Eastern District of Michigan.
She has used her positions to advance civil rights throughout the United States.
She became the first African American woman named to a Michigan federal court on November 15th, 1979, when she was sworn in as a well, that's Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter strikes again.
Jimmy Carter with treasonous conduct in this interview with their Spiegel, which we shall get to.
Jimmy Carter, a man on whose head I lay the death of tens of thousands of people worldwide with his incompetence and ineptitude.
And I know what caused Jimmy Carter to do all this.
And I've explained this to you before.
It's the Nixon funeral, ladies and gentlemen.
He's sitting out there with Roseland at his side.
And all these luminaries are praising Richard Nixon.
Watergate Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon whose presidency led to the election of Jimmy Carter.
And they're praised it from Henry Kissinger.
Bill Clinton got up there and praised Richard Nixon.
Billy Graham got up there and praised Richard Nixon.
And Rosalind jabs Jimma in the ribs and says, When are you gonna stop pounding nails, Habitat for Humanity, and get serious about being a real ex-president?
I have no doubt that part of the reason Jimmy Carter turned the direction he turned and became what he is today was the Nixon funeral in his utter shock and his desire to be uh showered with the similar kind of praise later on.
And he knows he can't get that kind of praise from his days as president, so he gets it now as a peace prize uh laureate, Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Uh these people make me sick, folks.
They just do.
I knew it.
The press conference out there was utterly useless.
We can't comment on the evidence at this time, and we warn the uh public not to jump to conclusions.
We still have a lot of work to do.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yeah.
Drive-by media going nuts all morning long.
And uh nothing officially is known.
And you're just joining us.
A federal judge ruled just moments ago that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights of free speech and privacy.
So his who is this babe?
Who is Judge Anna Diggs Taylor?
And uh by the way, you see what's happening.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, the uh the judiciary, which I and others have been warning you is out of control, is now assuming commander in chief duties.
Some federal judge, Eastern District of Michigan, decides to take it on her shoulder.
She campaigned for Jimmy Carter.
He appointed her to the federal bench in 1979.
She is a Carter appointee.
It all makes sense.
The first African American woman appointed to a federal judgeship in Michigan, uh, appointed in 1979, uh, November 15th, sworn in as a federal judge to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, 1997.
She became the first African American woman to be named Chief Judge of the Eastern District of the United States District Court.
She stepped down in 1988 as chief judge in order to reduce her workload, continued to serve as a senior federal judge.
But that's not all, ladies and gentlemen.
The Wall Street Journal.
Tuesday, June 18th, 2002, a column by Thomas J. Bray entitled Disorder in the Court.
Judicial shenanigans mar an affirmative action case.
Will Congress investigate?
Rumors in Washington have it that the House Judiciary Committee may hold hearings into the events surrounding the sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals 5-4 decision upholding the University of Michigan Law School's affirmative action program in a rare break with judicial comedy.
Two judges in the court publicly questioned the procedures that Chief Judge Boyce Martin, another Carter appointee, had set out in the case.
Chief Judge Anna Diggs Taylor of the Federal District Court in Detroit tried to take the suit against the law school away from Judge Bernard Friedman, who had been assigned it through a blind draw, which is the standard way these things happen.
Case goes to a court.
Whoever's up next on the docket gets the case.
This babe, Chief Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, Carter appointee, tried to take this case away from the judge, Bernard Friedman, who had been assigned it through a blind draw, and who was suspected of being skeptical about affirmative action.
The judge who was assigned the case was suspected of being skeptical about affirmative Action.
He was suspected.
And so this Stalinist judge, Anna Diggs Taylor said, Well, we can't have somebody that's biased that way.
We need somebody like me, biased my way toward affirmative action.
That's what's fair in my courtroom.
At any rate.
She wanted to consolidate this with a similar suit against the university's undergraduate admissions practice, not just in the law school, which Judge uh Patrick Duggan was hearing.
The chief judge dropped that effort and was dropped after the judge hearing the law school complaint went public with a blistering opinion objecting to what he termed the highly irregular effort of the chief judge, which would be Anna Diggs Taylor.
That that is a break with tradition.
Normally what goes on behind closed doors and courts is uh is none uh never known.
But she was trying to take the case away because she suspected the judge who had been assigned the case was uh dubious of affirmative action.
Can't have that.
Just civil liberties, civil rights advocate, uh not a judge.
She's just a she's just a satellite member of the ACLU that's sitting as a judge for all intents and purposes.
I'm what how did this case how did this case get get get tried before her court anyway?
Did the ACLU say we want to try this case?
They had to know that they were going to a sympathetic joke.
Why in the world would you choose a court in the Eastern District of Michigan to file suit against the federal government in the NSA program?
The only reason to do it's if you know you got somebody in your own club on the bench.
Thank you, Jimmy Carter.
You doofus.
Glittering jewel of colossal ignorance, worst president in my lifetime and in the modern era, an utter disaster.
Uh more on him in uh in just a moment.
Judge Duggan, by the way, ruled in favor of the undergraduate racial preferences at Michigan, while Judge Friedman ruled against the law school.
Um preferences.
So that's that's who this babe is, ladies and gentlemen.
Judge Anna Diggs Taylor.
I don't know if there were ever I guess there weren't.
Uh congressional hearings on uh on what would uh course not.
Of course not, uh what what year was it?
Uh 2000.
Of course, Republicans investigate Democrats?
Hell, who's kidding who?
That wasn't gonna be anything like this.
Mike in Syracuse, New York, uh, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Rush, thank you for taking my call.
How are you?
Fine, sir.
Uh Russ Reese's my call was that I'm gonna get to it straight.
Just screener said, did our president really think that over six or seven thousand years of sectarian violence based on clans and tribes, that all of a sudden democracy would be welcomed in open arms?
I want to know where the best and the brightest on his staff were.
Didn't they do their homework?
Uh didn't they do their homework?
What is your point?
Did we really think that we would roll into Iraq?
Democracy would, let's just say it takes ten years, 15, 20, whatever it is.
Seven or eight thousand years.
There's been no democracy over there.
All right, you know what?
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
I've been listening to Doomkoffs like you criticize and rip everything this president's been trying to do.
I want to hear from you, Mr. Braniac, what you would have done.
Sure, I would have had at least a staff that knows that.
I'm going to paraphrase it.
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't talk to me about staff.
You're the president.
You're criticizing calling him a moron.
Prove to me you're not.
What would you have done about Iraq after 9-11, the war on terror?
What would you have done, sir?
Well, our president said that there was no clear link between the.
You do not have the guts to answer because you're like everybody else on the left.
You don't have an answer to anything.
I do have to.
The democratic plan is a page of pa is a book of 25 pages with not one word on a page.
If I if you don't have you do not have a plan.
You don't have an idea.
All you have is criticism, which is worthless.
It's baseless, and it's boring.
Did anybody really think that democracy would work?
What democracy is only good enough for you, white man?
Democracy's not good enough for all these lesser tribal people all over the world.
Freedom is only good enough for you.
You're the only bright enough guy around to understand freedom and to appreciate it.
The rest of these people are just a bunch of human debris, and we ought to understand that they're just a bunch of savages, and they don't have the It's a damn good thing you are not in a leadership position because you wouldn't defend your own freedom.
Dumcouff, Sean and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Roger.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
It's an honor.
It's a first-time caller here.
I'm only in my mid-20s here, but I I am a conservative.
I consider myself I wouldn't say above, but way more informed than most kids my age.
Anyway, the reason I'm calling is because I'm I'm pretty kicked off about this NSA ruling in the courts here.
They're just empowering the terrorists.
All the time.
No question about you're you're absolutely right.
They are sabotaging the effort to defeat this enemy.
They are they are, and I don't think it's accidental.
This is Bush hatred, and they will do anything they can to get rid of Bush.
If they if we lose the House in October, the next two years are going to be the impeachment of George W. Bush.
That's all the Democrats in the House are going to do.
Nothing else will get done, and that's why they want to win it.
They just hate the guy's guts because of Florida.
They think he stole the election from them.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'm a little peeved today.
Keep on going.
I totally agree with you, but what I can't figure out is how someone can have so much hatred for someone that they're willing to give up all of the government's ability to save us or have the possibility of saving us from future attacks.
They don't give Bush credit for what his policies and what the people in office have done since we haven't been attacked in the past five years.
How can you hate someone that bad?
Hell.
Cry me a river.
You lost the first election.
They're out there.
Their latest slogan is we're not safe.
We're less safe than we were in 2001.
That's their slogan.
I mean, I th hatred leads to irrationality.
There's no explaining this unless somebody wants to claim that they actually one of two things.
Either they either they want to empower this enemy simply because that's a way to get rid of Bush, or else they're just living in a f in a in a hole and really don't consider ourselves to be in a war and don't consider ourselves to have an enemy.
And then all of this is um you know that these these people on the left, have you gone to their blogs and read some of their conspiracy theories?
Uh yeah, and it's nonsense to me.
Who knows what they believe?
I'm I frankly have gotten a point I don't care.
Uh it's impossible to figure out why they have so much hatred.
I couldn't, and they're obsessed with why why the country is hated at the same time.
I couldn't care less.
All I know is uh these people have to be continually defeated.
Uh I I I think the the fate of the country uh is at stake.
They they just they they uh they have never recognized an enemy.
When there is an enemy they recognize, they want to appease that enemy, defeating an enemy, protecting the country, never in their lexicon or part of their agenda.
Uh they just they just uh uh can't be trusted in positions of power.
They they actually belong in zoos, more than else is just odd artifacts of the human race that need to be looked upon with wonderment back in just a second.
Now, some official in Pakistan says that uh Amon Al-Zawayhiri gave clearance to the UK terror plot of last week.
I think a little jealousy out there among uh Al-Qaeda types because the new uh the new Sheikh of Arabi, the the the head of honcho in all of the Arab world, the terror terrorist world now is uh uh Hassan Nasrallah.
Uh 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, Phil in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Your turn.
Hi.
Hi, uh Rush.
I want to thank you for using a word that I think is very important right now.
The word is traitorous.
And you used it with regard to Jimmy Carter, and I agree with you wholeheartedly, it's the only word that's gonna get people off their dead rear ends and get them to realize that we're fighting a war.
This is not a game.
People are dying.
And it's important for us.
Jimmy Carter knows all about people dying.
Thousands of people died under his watch in Iran, North Korea, the man is an absolute disaster.
That's right.
And the word traitorous is important, as I say, for us to pay attention to.
Not only with Mr. Carter, but also with Mr. Clinton.
If you read unlimited access, which was written by the Chief of White House Security.
The end of that book says It's my responsibility to make sure that nobody gets on the White House grounds who would be destructive of this country.
I'm sorry to say that Mr. Clinton and his wife should have been also excluded.
Well, that's a bit of a yeah, I'm familiar with the book, but uh you can't throw them out when they're duly elected.
Let's leave Clinton out of this for just a second.
I mean, Clinton Carter uh uh, you know, the two peas in a pod in a lot of ways.
But let's let's just stick with Carter here.
Um I want to be very specific about what I said and remind you of that specificity.
I said that his conduct is traitorous in this interview that he has given with Der Spiegel in uh in Germany, typically gutless making all these comments uh overseas among liberal friendly audiences, uh, telling them what they want to hear, so they will lavish him with the kind of praise that he so desperately desires and seeks because he knows he'll never get it from the days he was president.
An economic malaise, an economic disaster.
Uh uh he he was responsible for the creation of the modern Islamic terrorist state of Iran, and he's out there trying to cover his tracks of his dismal presidency by ripping the shreds out of George W. Bush and joining with the world's leftists in a uh in an obvious bid for c uh acclaim, accreditation, and praise that he does not deserve.
Let me just read to you a couple of excerpts.
Der Spiegel's question, Mr. Carter.
In your new book, you write that the uh only the American people can ensure that the U.S. government returns to the country's old moral principles.
You suggesting that the current U.S. administration of George W. Bush is acting immorally.
Carter, there's no doubt this administration has made a radical and unpressured departure from the basic policies of all previous administrations, including those of both Republican and Democratic presidents.
Der Spiegel, for example.
Carter.
Well, under all of its predecessors, there was a commitment to peace instead of preemptive war.
Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened.
Now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis.
Another very serious let me stop there.
Jimmy Carter apparently doesn't know that 9-11 happened.
Jimmy Carter apparently doesn't know that we sat around and did nothing for decades while being attacked by terrorists.
We did nothing whether those terrorist attacks were in the United States, such as 1993 in the World Trade Center, the Cobar Towers, the USS Cole, any number of incidents.
We didn't do diddly squat.
There's nothing preemptive about what we did when you get down to brass tax.
But even if you want to call it preemptive, it was totally justified, and it was for peace.
For crying out loud, policy of peace.
Uh the the 9-11 attacks occur, and we know that there are nations in the Middle East that uh threaten us and so forth after nine.
What are we supposed to do, President Carter?
Are we just supposed to sit around and wait till we're attacked every time and then respond?
Is that how you get peace?
Is that how you show strength?
No wonder you were such a doofus as a president.
Sit around and wait to be attacked after we already have been.
What was 9-11?
What is the death of 3,000 Americans in New York, in Washington, and a field in Pennsylvania if it's not an attack and if it's not an act of war?
What is it, sir?
You're so brilliant, you've got a Nobel Peace Prize.
Tell me, sir, what was 9-11 in your view, in your limited worldview vision, just what the hell was it?
Was it just an episodic event that was tied to nothing else?
And maybe we should be asking ourselves, what did we do to cause it?
Jimmy Carter probably is of that view, as are many of his fellow leftists.
And we finally uh took matters into our own hands to provide peace for the uh American people in the country.
And we've got people like Jimmy Carter and Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Michigan doing everything they can to undermine that effort.
Makes me sick.
Back in it.
We've only scratched the surface this Jimmy Carter interview in Der Spiegel.
Wait a year what comes next, and then what comes after that?
I've been going soft on him up till now.
