Time Text
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just looking for one thing here to make sure I got it all right.
And greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
On a roll today, Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting network.
Setting the standard for broadcast media.
And uh appearing before the most knowledgeable audience in all of broadcast media, that according to the Pew Center for the people in the press.
800 282-288-2.
If you want to be on the uh program, email address rush at eIBNet.com.
One more thing before we get to some domestic issues here.
And I'm gonna um I'm gonna post this link at rushlimbaug.com.
Do you remember not long ago, ladies and gentlemen, spoke to you about a DVD that I had seen of a movie called Obsession about the worldwide movement of militant Islam and the Islamofascists, and the uh attempt they're making to wipe out those who disagree with them.
Part of the part of the movie Obsession uh details the uh long-ago relationship between uh militant Islamists and Adolf Hitler.
And there is a uh a website that documents it.
Uh it's much too long to read to you here, but it's entitled The Arab Muslim Nazi Connection, and the phone call we got from from Gehrard in my adopted hometown of Sacramento giving us little history lesson on Germany and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War One, reminded me of this.
Uh the uh the the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, uh, actually uh uh is pictured here reviewing Bosnian Muslim troops, uh, a unit of the Saber Division of the Waffen SS, which this man personally recruited for Hitler.
Uh the the Arab world cheered the rise of Hitler.
Uh of course they shared common ground.
I hate Jews.
And they uh wanted to wipe them out.
And it is apparent from watching the the movie Obsession, and from it's not out yet, there they are still, by the way, their their website, they are selling a uh uh 60-minute preview DVD of the movie uh as they seek distribution of that movie.
We'll link to that too, and although also this uh this website, but you will you'll see that the tactics being employed by militant Islamists today parallel those of uh Adolf Hitler, and this is a this is a very informative piece.
So, uh there is that.
The uh Lieberman and uh Ned Lament race.
Uh Ned Lament, whose anti-war campaign rattled the political landscape by toppling Senator Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary, uh, is gaining some support among voters, but Lieberman still has an edge, according to the Quinnipiac University poll, 49 to 38%.
That's an 11-point lead.
Among likely voters, Lieberman was supported 53 to 41.
Yet the story is written from the standpoint of Lament gaining ground.
I mean, he's the freaking winner of the primary.
And he's down twelve.
And the drive-by media reports that he's gaining ground.
Get this.
A group of uh Senate Democrats growing increasingly angry about Lieberman's campaign tactics.
This, according to the Hill newspaper.
If he continues to alienate his colleagues, Mr. Lieberman could be stripped of his seniority within the Democratic caucus should he defeat Ned Lament in the general election.
Some senior Democratic aides have told Alexander Bolton, the reporter for the Hill.
In recent days, Lieberman has rankled Democrats in the Senate by suggesting that those who support bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq by a certain date are bolstering terrorists.
He also sparked resentment by saying last week on the Today Show that the Democratic Party was out of the political mainstream.
They are going to be out for blood.
Democrats are worried that Mr. Liebeman may be giving Republicans a golden opportunity to undermine their message.
Lieberman doesn't Have to do it.
We can undermine your message without him.
We have been undermining your message without him.
He's just suddenly come to Jesus and realized what's going on here.
He is an American first, not a liberal first.
That much we can say about Joe Lieberman.
Liberals are liberals first.
Senior Democratic aide who has discussed the subject with colleagues said, I think there's a lot of concern.
I think the first step is if the Lieberman thing turns into a side show and hurts our message and ability to take back the Senate, the White House and the uh uh National Republican Senatorial Committee manipulate him, they're gonna be a lot of unhappy people in their caucus.
There aren't any happy people in your caucus now.
Somebody show me a happy Democrat.
Somebody show me a happy liberal that's out there laughing and smiling, have a good time unless they're at some club at two o'clock in the morning with 15 bottles of vodka in front of them.
Somebody show me a liberal having a great time out there today.
Somebody show me a liberal happy.
I defy anybody to produce one.
They're just not.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Ned Lament, Cudlow and Company last night, CNBC.
Cudlow says, How'll you vote?
How will you vote?
We'll have issues coming up, particularly on NSA and telephone company data mining and patterns of telephone calls.
How do you expect to vote?
Will you permit that kind of data mining?
I think we should be very careful on these issues and make sure that whatever we do, we do with the necessary approvals, a court approval.
I like that process in the United States of America.
We have checks and balances.
So I'll err on, I think, on the side of uh civil liberties there.
All right, so Ned Lament comes out firmly in favor of the Al Qaeda Bill of Rights.
Uh, essentially, last night on uh on television.
Next question.
You're running against Lieberman, obviously a Jewish senator, Jewish leader.
Many Jewish leaders across the country, particularly in this time, have great difficulty with Israel fighting Hezbollah in the Middle East.
I mean, would you weed Sharpton out of the campaign given his background of anti-Semitism?
I think that's unfair.
And you ought to hear his message.
When he goes to the pulpit of the church, he's telling people you gotta go to school, you gotta graduate from school, you gotta pull yourself up with your bootstraps.
This is an entrepreneurial economy, and you can do it too.
So it's a great message there.
Well, we don't ever hear that from uh the Reverend Sharpton.
He may maybe be saying a church is like the Reverend Jackson has on occasion.
Uh, but uh Reverend Sharpton's out there um uh talking about the owner of Freddy's fashion mart in Harlem as a Jewish interloper.
You know, and Sharpton has warned Lament, you better not take me out of that picture.
You better not photoshop me.
Or you'll have hell to pay.
I mean, he didn't say it in that many words, but basically um he he said out a warning to lament.
Hey, don't scrub me and the Jeff Z. Jackson out of the picture here.
We were there with you, don't cast us aside.
Next question, Cudlow says, How high would you take the dividend tax rate for individual investors and the capital gains tax rate?
Well, I'll tell you, I'm sort of sympathetic to um the Reagan plan back in uh 88, where he said, Look, we're not gonna dramatically uh treat different types of income different ways.
We'll try and reduce rates and tax all different types of income the same.
So you may remember it was uh President Reagan who signed the bill that had a capital gains going up, income going down, so we didn't differentiate amongst these different types of income.
I'm not positive I want the federal government picking and choosing which type of uh you know income streams should be favored.
I'd like us to stay more neutral there.
Oh, my God.
He says he doesn't like Reagan, except he's gonna raise your taxes.
Uh what does he not get about the U.S. tax code as it exists today?
Treat different income streams a different way.
The U.S. tax code is changed regularly by people who want to regulate uh behavior.
The mortgage interest is simply to deduction simply to boost a segment of the economy.
Uh this happens we're we're we're dealing with a real novice here.
I mean, a 100% uh novice.
And plus, for for this guy to go out and start praising Ronald Reagan.
Oh, that you don't do that in in a Democratic Party and live to tell about it politically.
You you just you just don't do it.
Back in a minute, folks, more coming up.
Stay with us.
We have one more Ned Lament bite.
The Libs understand is what they're dealing with here.
They have to coach him.
In his answers, Chris Matthews uh talking to Lament last night on his show Hardball.
Matthews says, Well, why why did Bill Clinton sign the Iraq Liberation Act in 1998?
I don't think he was talking about an invasion.
I think at that point he was talking about ways that we might be able to aid some uh groups within Iraq.
Right, you're hopefully to destabilize.
Correct answer, Mr. Lamont, because the Iraq Liberation Act said nothing about any military action by us against Iraq.
Oh, of course it didn't, because Clinton wasn't serious about anything.
You boob.
Clinton wasn't serious about diddly squat.
The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998.
Remember what was going on there?
Her name was Lewinsky.
It was called impeachment, and let's distract attention.
So let's act tough on military, and let's get tough with Saddam Hussein and let's start talking about weapons of mass destruction, which Clinton was doing, and all the Democrats agreed it was a problem.
Oh, are we gonna do anything about it?
Hell no.
Not on your wife we're gonna do it.
Yeah, we're gonna destabilize Iraq, just like we're gonna destabilize Iran.
Right.
We're gonna how are we gonna do it?
Well, uh uh we're gonna we're we're gonna we're gonna aid some groups in it.
How are we gonna do that?
Uh Mike in St. Leon, Indiana, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Rush, how are you?
Megadidas from Southern Indiana.
Thank you.
Uh Rush, just listening to uh Carter and Clinton and the Liberals and the French wing of the Democratic Party.
It sounds like they're advocating the destruction of the Israel uh country, and that would make everything better in the Middle East.
And uh it's my opinion that if Israel was wiped off and it was made a Palestinian state, the Middle East would be nothing but one huge Muslim war.
Uh Israel is uh, believe it or not, is a uh stabilizing factor in the Middle East because uh these Arabs who are all actually the enemies of each other, they have a common enemy in Israel.
Yeah, you focus their hate.
Yes, and and if Israel is suddenly taken out, that they don't have a common enemy, and uh then you've got the Arabs uh fighting all each other.
Let me just tell you something.
Israel is not gonna be taken out.
Um and Israel's not gonna go away, and the Jewish people are not gonna pack up and move off somewhere else.
Israel, if they want to, could wipe Damascus off the face of the earth and they could wipe Beirut off the face of the earth, and if they are provoked enough, they will do it.
It's just like the same thing is gonna happen to us.
I I am I am I'm firmly convinced of the following, ladies and gentlemen.
9-11 wasn't enough, wasn't near enough.
We've got Doomkoffs and Dunces like Jimmy Carter and half a Democratic Party trying to pretend it never even happened.
That it's not a relevant event in our current foreign policy.
Didn't happen whatsoever.
We will not show as the show the pictures of 9-11 on television.
No, no, no, no!
It's still too soon.
Too pinful.
We can't do that.
We need to see these pictures every day, ladies and gentlemen.
We need to see what happened.
We need to be constantly reminded of hell.
There have been two movies about it.
No, no, it's too soon.
It's too soon.
The pain and the thefting is too soon.
All right, so we're not ready yet.
And the Israelis weren't ready this time.
But what's gonna happen?
We're gonna get hit big at some point.
I do not know when, but we're gonna get hit big with these idiot federal judges trying to become commanders in chief.
This uh this Carter appointed civil rights activist, ACLU partner, Julia Diggs.
Is that her name?
Uh Julie Taylor Diggs, something like can't remember the first name.
Did the whole thing in the first hour on her anyway.
Found the NSA spy program unconstitutional today, ladies and gentlemen.
This is a woman who also attempted to steal the Michigan uh law school affirmative rights case from the judge to whom it had been assigned because she suspected he was uh had some problems with affirmative action, a Carter appointee.
So we've got the Democratic Party, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party coming up with the Al Qaeda bit of Bill of Rights, trying to stop any effort on our part to learn When a next attack might be.
We can't do anything with prisoners at Club Gitmore Abu Grab.
We're beating ourselves up.
The United States is the enemy.
United States is a problem.
They don't, but I don't I uh can't explain their thinking other than Bush hatred.
We're gonna get hit big.
We're gonna get hit.
I'd have no idea when, but when we get hit big again, uh uh enough people in this country are gonna get sufficiently angry that something will be done.
Anna Diggs Taylor.
Anna Diggs Taylor's the judge.
Thank you, Mr. Sternley.
Way way to observe in their official program observer.
Uh and to say the Israelis here.
That this the Israelis didn't fight this thing to win it.
They didn't, they they they botched this totally, and they're run by liberals these days.
Prime Minister Olmert in office two or three months is a hand wringing liberal.
Uh and and uh, you know, they they were learning they had all kinds of uh problems.
The reservists, when they were called up, went to the supply depots where they kicked picking up ammo and weapons and food.
They were empty.
The um housing units for these places were just empty.
The uh items had been stolen.
I'm telling when you have liberals in charge of things, you are indeep do, including in Israel.
So the we're just we're in the middle of a war here, as are the Israelis.
Ralph Peters had a good characterization of it today.
He said the Israelis versus the Hezbollahs are just round one.
And the Israelis are back in the corner now and they're bloodied, and they don't quite know what hit them.
And the Hesbows are in their corner cheering uh as though the fight's over.
Uh and they're the ones with the confidence and the momentum.
But this is by no means anywhere near over, and we will get hit again.
And we're gonna get hit again because liberals in this country are weakening our ability to use intelligence to find out when and how and why.
Even on the face in the aftermath of thwarting this attempt in London to blow up ten airliners.
This idiotic federal judge in Michigan today finds the NSA spy program, which was part and parcel of this effort, by the way.
Unconstitutional mark in Houston, thank you for calling, and welcome to the EIB network.
What an honor, Mr. Limbaugh.
Megadiddos from Houston, Texas.
Thank you, sir.
On your fire and passion on the trader Carter, it's fantastically refreshing.
You have seemed a tad flat to me recently.
Uh that's in my un uh humble, unlearned opinion, of course, not being a broadcast professional like yourself.
Yes.
But uh the fire today is the Rush Limbaugh that I have come to love over these years.
My call, though, is to fire up our base because we have the power and the control right now, not after November.
That's we why are we?
We don't know about elections.
That is an excellent point.
And I I am I I mentioned this in um in uh the brilliant monologues of the first two hours.
I am not going to allow I'm well, kind of I am not gonna sit idly by and throw the House elections up for grabs.
Getting our people motivated to vote and getting them out there, regardless what they think and disagree with this administration is done.
If they want, if you want two years of tearing this country apart with an impeachment over the attempt to defend this country from foreign attack, uh then let the Democrats win the House of Representatives.
I'm I that that to me is just unacceptable.
We must stay fired up, but we also have to to demand more of our current administration.
We have to understand that right now we have two border patrol agents convicted in the great state of Texas, for God's sakes, for shooting a drug smuggler after they've been assaulted and attacked, helped by our own homeland security department to go find the drug smuggler in Mexico and bring him back to testify against him.
You don't you think that's bad?
Listen to this.
Listen to this.
An announcement that the U.S. Marine, this is from our good buddies at um uh WorldNet Daily.com, an announcement that the U.S. Marine base at Quantico, Virginia has refurbished a building to be used as a prayer room or mosque for Muslim soldiers and civilians on base is a bad signal, one critic has concluded.
The Marines announced earlier this summer that one of the buildings on the base had been repainted so that Muslims would have a place to pray and hold religious services.
Now, the here here's here's the sad irony.
Stars and Stripes magazine estimates there are 426 Muslims in the Marine Corps, a maximum of 24 at Quataco.
We are building them a mosque.
I know.
May I have one last moment.
We have Border Patrol protecting U.S. unarmed U.S. troops who are supposed to be guarding the border to free up Border Patrol agents.
We have TSA that's still searching grandma and little Johnny at the airport instead of doing what needs to be done.
But remember, Mr. Limbaugh, all of this stuff is happening under the president that I've voted for two times now.
I want to demand more from this president.
I will be the same fire claims.
Look at I gotta I gotta take a break.
I I understand what you're saying.
I'll I'm gonna I'm not gonna make excuses, but I'm gonna try to explain that and uh your your perception I have appeared a tad flat.
Uh back here in just a second.
Stay with us.
Well, this is gonna make a lot of people mad.
Mel Gibson has reached a plea deal out in California.
Three D uh three years of uh probation on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
He has to attend AA alcohol abuse programs five times a week at first, then three times a week, a twelve hundred dollar fine plus uh one hundred dollars uh restitution.
Uh the anger will be that he's not been found guilty of anti-Semitism and sent to jail for it.
Uh or or what have you.
Uh but nevertheless uh that's the latest news on Mel Gibbs.
Now, as as to my being flat recently, I stringently uh reject the notion.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, now maybe the past couple days, I was I'm you know, I flew out to Hawaii, I was up twenty-seven hours the first day out there, and the last seven hours were playing golf.
So I'm up for twenty hours and then hit the golf course.
And it was party time out there.
We'd play golf every day, come home, uh get massages, all four of us, hour and a half each consecutively.
So, yeah, we took turns, two massage babes at once.
It was fabulous.
But we're eating dinner at 11 o'clock every night and getting up and playing golf.
So I got in a plane and I come back, and I got back here on noon Monday, and I slept a little bit of the way back.
Uh I just jet lagged, I guess, but uh I wasn't flat, just a little tired.
But more than that.
Um I think it's only fair that you understand the attitude uh that I bring with myself into this program every day.
I'm I'm trying to enjoy life.
I don't want to be angry all the time.
And I'm not firing brimstone.
I'm not gonna sit here and pound the table every damn day for three hours straight.
I don't have the emotional reservoir to do it, and I don't want to be angry.
And I don't want to be in the what was the term the uh couple weeks ago, this uh palpable palpable uh misery or or fatigue or anger.
I don't play those games.
I when there's a recession, I don't participate.
When there's when there's anger, I'm that's not my natural state of mind.
So I'm not gonna come in here each and every day and uh and and and be phony about it and act mad when I'm not mad.
I try to have fun in here.
As often as I can.
And I try to make my points with humor, but last night, and everybody has a tipping point.
Last night, I see this Jimmy Carter interview in Der Spiegel, and then I see this idiotic, drunken womanizing labor hack, the deputy prime minister of Great Britain, this guy Prescott, uh saying he's got one word for Bush in the Bush administration.
That's crap, and it just finally, I've been I've been marveling at the Democrats' rage and anger, and I haven't cared why they're mad.
But last night it just sort of bubbled over.
Uh I was I was uh uh uh emailing and uh and I aming with with people till one o'clock this morning about that.
I was just fit to be tied last night.
When I got up today, I wasn't angry at all.
And when I went to bed, I said, All right, I know what the show is tomorrow.
I already know what it's gonna be, I know what I'm gonna lead off with, and I'm gonna be ticked.
When I got up and I wasn't mad.
Even though my house sprung a leak in the rain yesterday, I still wasn't mad.
Small little leak, but still a distraction.
But it I got here, I started reading through this stuff this morning, and I got all upset and angry again, and I just I just you know, let it out.
Uh but I don't want to do that every day.
Now, uh you might say that there's a difference in passion level.
I mean, I that uh uh uh I argue with that if you define passion as anger uh or or frustration.
We all feel it.
We're all we're all livid over so many things that are going on that seem inexplicable to us.
Uh but I'll tell you the thing that just frosts me.
I've had it with this Bush hatred.
I have had it with people who have no ideas of their own, who have no solutions, no suggestions, no plans.
I just don't suffer fools well.
Uh and and the the whole the the whole left wing is nothing but a pack of mad dog wolves that are just they're they're just they're fools.
And they've become dangerous.
They've always been dangerous to a certain degree, but they're they're truly dangerous now.
So that that's the explanation for the uh the rants, if you if you want to call them that today.
I mean, this is this this story about taxpayers are gonna build a mosque at Quantico, the U.S. Marine base at Quantico for 24 Muslims who are in the Marine Corps there.
I love the Marines.
And I'm uh I'm on the board of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation raise money for uh scholarships for the children of Marines killed in action.
But I mean, enough is enough here.
Is there no concern what might be going on in these mosques at some point?
But you know, I want you to be assured, while we're gonna build a mosque.
I want you to be, I want you to be confident, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't want you to worry about it.
There will be no Ten Commandments displayed anywhere near the Quantico base, the best of my knowledge.
That would be over the top.
And of course, we can't let the Boy Scouts meet on Quantico property either, because they have as part of their mission the advancement of Judeo Christian values, so we can't offend people by having a Boy Scouts on the Quantico base.
Well, we're gonna build uh mosque.
Then you have the uh the guy from Houston was talking about the border patrol agents and so forth in the house.
So little of this makes any sense, and it's all happening uh under the Bush administration.
Now, we've talked about immigration on this program.
We know full well where this administration stands on on uh on immigration.
We know where the Democrats stand on it.
It doesn't make any sense to us.
But you'll note the bill didn't go anywhere that everybody wanted.
The Senate bill, the McCain Kennedy bill, whatever it was, Hegel Kane, whatever, it didn't go anywhere.
There's no bill.
And everybody was running around talking about, oh, this is a death knell for the Republicans.
Why?
There has to be a bill.
We have to get a bill.
If we don't get a bill, the president looks impotent.
We don't do bad bills.
We don't stand around idly and let bad bills sail through that are only going to compound the problem.
We this country should not adopt as policy that we need a permanent, underpaid, low wage, undereducated working class.
If that were the route to economic security and prosperity, Mexico would be leading the world.
But there's there are people that want a permanent, undereducated, underpaid uh working class in this country for low wages, and we know who they are, and then there are people that want these same people in the country so they can get them as voters two or three times every election, and we know who they are.
It didn't fly.
The president uh is not a conservative, ladies and gentlemen.
He is conservative on some things, but he's not a conservative.
And he is not leading a conservative movement.
He is not an ideologue.
He's a Republican, he's a conservative on lots of things, but he's he's he's not a Ronald Reagan or a Newt Gingrich in the sense that every speech they make advances ideological uh ideas and it educates and informs.
This is who he is.
And this is not a criticism of President Bush.
It's just, I'm just trying to tell you who he is, and uh and the way he's uh going about governing his administration.
He's got problems, some of them I think are of his own making.
There's a shadow government in a CIA and a State Department of Pentagon, Clinton holdovers that have been doing their best to undermine his foreign policy.
You might say, well, why are they still there?
Well, that's a good question.
I think it goes back to the new tone.
I think it goes back to the first days of the administration.
The administration felt that the country was too royaled during the Clinton administration, what with impeachment, and the Republicans typically pulled a Jimmy Carter.
They wanted a show, but we'd get along.
We can uh show the liberals that, hey, you know, we can work together in this country, we can make things happen.
We can do we can do really good things.
Liberals are like the Ayatollah looking at Jimmy Carter.
What a bunch of saps.
What a bunch of saps.
And so Bush lets Ted Kennedy up to write the education bill.
And has this uh this, I guess is a Kevin Costner movie on uh the Bay of Pigs or whatever it was, invite the Kennedy family up there to the White House theater with popcorn and so forth.
Yes.
Six days in May, right.
And you see what it got him.
Uh noble attempt, uh worth the try, but once it doesn't work, uh realize it doesn't work.
But you know, President President Bush is uh is who he is.
He's a f he's a damn sight better than what we'd be getting with anybody else, uh, particularly on the uh on the Democrat side out there.
So, you know, you you you do the best with what you have.
Uh in this climate.
I just want to I just want to tell all of you one more time here.
I am not going to in any way undermine this presidency so as to help facilitate a Democrat victory in a House of Representatives in November.
I don't care what the issues are, I am not gonna see to it that that happens.
I am not going to simply to show you that I can be fair or whatever, start ripping Bush just for the sake of it.
Because I have never come to this program and and and said, okay, what does my audience want to hear today, and then say it?
Because it's impossible to figure out what 20 million of you want to hear.
I'd go nuts trying to figure it out, and I'd go nuts trying to satisfy everybody if that's the way I did it.
And I have never done it, and I'm not gonna do it.
And I'm not gonna criticize Bush just to show I'm not a lap dog of the White House, which I'm not anyway.
There's a story, the AP story.
I think I threw it away.
I wasn't even gonna comment on it.
There's an AP story about White House memos that go out called Setting the Record Straight.
And I'm through the and I'm there's a there's a quote of uh Kathleen Hole Jameson in this movie saying that the things I say on this program about Democrats and issues parallel these memos.
And I read this last night.
I don't get these memos.
I have never seen one of these memos.
I have no clue what a setting the record straight memo is.
I don't know who writes them.
I don't know who's on the mailing list.
But even if I did get them, I wouldn't use them because apparently everybody else is, and why do I want to sound like every other Tom Dick and Harry out there?
So even if I did get them, I wouldn't use them.
And yet, there are people, you're just a lapdog with a white house.
It was an absurd accusation if you listen to this program regularly.
But just keep this one thing in mind and etch it in your stone.
I am not gonna sit here and beat up this administration gratuitously to the point that it harms the efforts of Republicans to hold the House because my friends, utter disaster is on the other side of that if the Democrats do win the House of Representatives.
You have no idea.
John Conyers and Charlie Wrangle and these guys leading an impeachment effort over the attempt for the first time in twenty years of this country to defend itself against attacks by a terrorist enemy, impeach a president for that.
You want to talk about nothing getting done?
You want to talk about absolute total paralysis and gridlock and nothing.
You want to talk about anger?
You think you're mad now?
Sorry, I've I'm that's that there are value judgments that you have to make along the line.
And you have to assume that certain things are more important than uh others.
And you you gain ground as you can.
You take what you can get when you can get it, without unrealistic uh expectations, without pie in the sky dreamy demands.
We don't have time for pie in the sky dreams right now.
Things are a little bit too serious.
Back in just a second.
Yeah, we just read to you the deal that Mel Diggs uh Gibson made out in California, three years probation of misdemeanor charge DUI.
AA for a lot of days.
Uh you gotta hear this.
This was the Boston Red Sox Detroit Tigers game uh Tuesday night on uh the uh New England Sports Network in uh in Boston.
And uh two actors were in the booth uh calling the game with the announcers.
The actors are Dennis Leary and Lenny Clark.
Now the Red Sox first baseman is Kevin Eukelis, and he is Jewish.
Listen to Dennis Leary in the Red Sox booth and what he had to say about Eukelis and uh Mel Gibson.
I just a good thing that this didn't transpire on ESPN.
That's fantastic.
We got a Jewish first baseman.
I didn't know that.
I'm so proud to have a Jewish first.
I didn't even mind.
I hope Mel Gibson doesn't come into this box.
We'll run him out of here on the rail.
Get it!
Yeah, where's Mel Gibson now?
Where's Mel Gibson now?
Huh?
He's in rehab, and you could get first base!
All right, Mel!
Happy Brainart!
Did you see that, Grab Mill?
Huh?
Open rehab, they're they're showing him a replay of that.
The Jewish first baseman makes the play, Mel Gibson.
That was the Boston Red Sox Detroit Tigers game on Tuesday night on the New England Sports Network.
Actors Dennis Leary and uh Lenny uh Clark.
Gene in Springfield, Virginia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Gosh, this is the first time I've ever called you, and I was hoping mad.
I pulled the car over to respond to this quantico mosque.
My husband was chief of chaplains of the Air Force from 1978 to 82.
The chapels on all the bases have always been used for all the denominations for all the religions.
And it's been neutral.
And it and the altar has been uh broken down for each faith how they want to use it.
There are other buildings or other rooms within the chapel complex that these Muslims can use, and it's perfectly good because they use it on Friday and it won't interrupt with anything on Sunday.
And I'm serious about this.
Just serious.
Well, you sound serious about it.
I'd have to take your word for it.
Um that's the Air Force.
I don't know how the Marines do it.
Uh, they're supposed to be now.
They're all becoming just almost one on under one umbrella, but but they have their different ways of of conducting their uh chapel programs, but their chapel, the chapel is used.
It's a neutral area where it can be used for any even the wickest can use it.
So I I really I mean I I I listen to you.
I watch you on the on the cam.
And I have been a faithful loyal follower, but this, and I've never called, but this really outraged me.
Just serious.
Well, it should.
I mean, there's a there's there's a lot of stuff out yesterday.
This is this this story uh the the funding an Islamic center at Quatical Um with taxpayer dollars is the Twilight Zone continued from yesterday.
Uh there's you know, we're we're I well, I don't look can't pretend to understand or explain explain why this might be happening.
I'm assuming it is out of fear.
It seems that the too much here is uh is is just being being done uh out of fear.
Or we're bending over backwards to show, hey, we don't have a problem with it.
Now I know that these are U.S. Marines.
Uh we'll draw this uh distinction.
Um time is dwindling.
I've only got a minute.
Uh thanks for the call, Gene.
Let me get one more call.
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and Tom.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Send me so the computer building did us.
Uh, thank you.
My uh my comment is you can't consider Mel Gibson of anti-Semitism since Mike Wallace interviewed the president of Iran.
It's suddenly become fashionable to become an anti-Semite.
Uh uh suddenly become fashionable.
Well, yeah, but you heard these two guys on the baseball game.
I mean, there is uh I was I was being facetious, but there there are people who would like to make uh anti-Semitism a crime uh when uttered by certain people.
Now, when Hassan Nasralla, uh leader of uh Hezbollah is openly anti-Semitic, my CNN and a couple reporters will marvel at this, and they'll uh find it very interesting, and they'll even be concerned why he's so so open-minded about it.
The guy's out there killing Jews as often as he can, and they're find it interesting.
Uh it's just liberals.
Tom, uh it's just liberals.
It's just always liberals.
Fastest week in media, open line Friday tomorrow.
Now be revved up then, too, folks.
Guarantee you something stupid's gonna happen between now and then.
And we'll be here to set it straight.
