Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, it's no John Binet, none of the time here on the Rush Limbaugh program.
You can get that anywhere you want to get it.
And no reason to waste time on this program with that story.
It's the EIB network and L. Rushball.
And broadcast excellence from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It's a thrill.
It's a delight to have you with us.
A telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-288-2.
And the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
The President had a very, very lively press conference today with the uh with the uh White House press corps.
Very on target, very animated and very purposeful.
We have audio clips from that, and we'll get to you uh in just a second.
But first, you gotta hear this from Bill Cosby.
Now, this was uh taped on July 18th of this year, and aired for the first time Saturday on C-SPAN.
Uh the Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation hosted a forum called Paths to Success, a forum on young African American men.
And uh he's when I play the soundbite here, I want you to know what Cosby's referring to.
He's referring to a montage, a video montage, that was played earlier at the forum hosted by the Washington Post, and uh he's referring here to the method of selective editing used by the media, and listen to how he describes the media in this bite.
Entired of this drive-by crap.
The Washington Post read a clip.
And then they edited, and they showed us what they wanted us to see.
These men say, defining what is a black man.
I heard not one black man say anything about being a father.
I heard not one black man say my responsibility.
They just didn't say the family and the structure of it.
Not one edited version of these people with a camera on a drive-by.
I'm looking to media.
I don't like media.
I like people who see and can't tell the truth.
Bill Cosby uh referring to the Washington Post as the drive by media.
Tired of this drive-by crap.
I don't like media.
I don't like people who see and can't tell the truth.
Progress, ladies and gentlemen, progress is taking place out there.
Uh uh, no, Mr. Snerdley, I'm not worried that I don't get credit for it.
I never worry about I'm like Reagan.
I don't care about credit as long as the job gets done.
Success is the best revenge, and the bottom line is that uh this is just terrific.
Now, what let me see.
Uh let me go through this uh the roster here very quickly.
B-beddy, uh none of the sound bites that we have, and it's no I'm not complaining, cookie.
Don't don't sweat it, don't panic up there.
None of the sound bites from the president's press conference have to do with Hurricane Katrina.
However, a lot of the questions that the president got today were about Hurricane Katrina.
Uh and there's a reason for that.
And you can see it in this AP story that cleared on Saturday.
Ray Nagan blames racism, red tape on slow Katrina recovery.
It'll juxtapose itself pretty well uh with this uh soundbite from Bill Cosby.
But let's just get to the meat and potatoes of this press conference.
Um this is about Iraq, and this is the president saying uh that he has uh no intention of leaving uh before the job is done, that we're not leaving Iraq while he is president.
The answer comes from a question, an unidentified reporter.
You mentioned the campaigns earlier.
Do you do you agree with those in your party, including Vice President, uh, who said or implied that democratic voters emboldened Al-Qaeda types by choosing Ned Lament over Joe Lieberman, and then it's a message that how Americans vote will send messages to terrorists abroad.
Leaving before the job would be done would send a message that America really is no longer engaged nor cares about the form of governments in the Middle East.
Leaving Before the job would done would be send a signal to our troops that the sacrifices they made were not worth it.
Leaving before the job is done would be a disaster.
And that's what we're saying.
I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me.
This has nothing to do with patriotism.
It has everything to do with understanding the world in which we live.
I want to respectfully disagree with the president on the last part of what he said.
I am going to challenge the patriotism of people who disagree with him because the people who disagree with him want to lose.
And I want to ask you people a question.
What is patriotic about losing?
How come we can't question the patriotism people who are actively engaged in sabotaging victory over this enemy?
Why can't we question their patriotism?
We most certainly can and we most certainly should.
Damn straight we sh- I'm tired of pussyfooting around this so that we don't hurt anybody's feelings and challenge their patriotism.
We've said for all these years, I'm not challenging your patriotism.
I'm just challenging your judgment.
Well, hell's bells.
It's about time we do challenge their patriotism.
The far left fringe in this country is actively seeking our defeat.
A wacko judge in Michigan actively seeking our defeat.
Jimmy Carter actively seeking our defeat.
Bill Clinton and John Kerry and Al Gore may as well be seeking our defeat.
So should Ned Lament.
Why can't we simply say what is patriotic about seeking our defeat?
Seems to me we should be saying that.
Their judgment is skewed.
Their judgment is crazy.
The President says, uh, understanding the world in which we live, who knows whether they understand the world in which we live.
We can't afford to take time to figure that out.
We don't have the time to worry about whether they understand the just like we don't have time to figure out why they hate us.
We don't have time to figure that out.
That's irrelevant to the to the mission, if you want to use that word, or uh, or to the cause.
So let it ring out from the mountaintops here at the EIB Limbaugh Institute.
We do question their patriotism.
If they want us to lose, what the hell is it about patriotism that makes us want to lose?
What is patriotic about wanting to lose against this enemy?
Somebody explain that to me, and if you can, then I might revise and extend my remarks.
The President then continued with this and you're staring at me with wide open eyes and you're not blinking.
What does that mean, Mr. Snerdley?
What does that mean?
Oh, Mr. Snurley says I've never crossed the line before.
Well, we're crossing a lot of new lines here because the Democrats keep moving the line, and sometimes you got to cross it.
If they keep moving the line and we haven't moved anywhere, we got to cross it to get to them.
They keep backing up.
I mean, would you tell me where I'm wrong?
Why can't we question the patriotism of people who actively seek a loss?
They want to cut and run.
What is that?
It's a loss.
They want to pull out.
They don't want to continue the war on terror.
They're running a whole presidential campaign in 08 based on it, a midterm campaign on 06 based on it.
Why can't we question their patriotism?
As well as questioning their judgment.
Here's the president continued with the with these uh remarks.
It's like the other day I was critical of those who heralded the Federal Judges' opinion about the terrorist surveillance program.
Thought it was a terrible opinion.
Those who heralded the decision not to give law enforcement the tools necessary to protect the American people just simply don't see the world the way we do.
Stop the tape.
Is that right?
Do they not see the world the way we do?
Or do they see the world the way we do, but they see Bush as worse than those guys?
Does their Bush hatred uh cause them to have descended into the first stages of literal utter madness?
Is Bush so much the enemy that they do not see the world the way we do, or do they see it the way we do, but that they'll fix it later on?
I don't know the answer to this.
All I know is they are actively sabotaging our effort to defeat this enemy.
And whether they see the world we do or not, uh, is irrelevant to me.
It is the actions they take based on whatever their motivations are that need to be addressed.
Uh and they are they are clearly taking actions, such as this judge in Eastern Michigan, the Eastern District of Michigan, taking actions that hamper and harm the ability if they s if these decisions are actually enshrined in law, doubtfully that they will be, but uh they are still taking these uh these saying these things, making these uh judgments, surrendering these decisions that are designed to hamper the effort in this war.
Maybe they don't see it's a war.
It could well be they don't think this is a war.
Maybe they think 9-11, yeah, just one of these things that ain't gonna happen again.
It isn't gonna happen again, and so we don't need to go out and pretend that it will and and do what we have to do to defend against it.
Uh but they're dangerous in the sense that uh they don't see it uh and want to construct a pre-9-11 world for uh whatever reason.
Let's resume this bite.
They see, you know, maybe these kind of isolated incidents.
These aren't isolated, they're tied together.
There is a global war going on.
And uh, you know, some said, well, this is law enforcement.
No, this isn't law enforcement in my judgment.
This is a global war on terror.
Well, that's a little swipe of Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter, the most recent idiot to say that this is a law enforcement problem.
And of course, John Kerry has long said that it was a law enforcement problem.
Uh, and uh many of the Clinton administration viewed it as a uh law enforcement problem.
Uh but he's right.
These are not isolated episodic events, they're tied together.
There is a global war going on.
I think the line of the um the line of the speech was we're not getting out of Iraq as long as I'm president.
Here's the next bite.
Um President added this to the previous remarks.
There are a lot of people in the Democrat Party who believe that the best course of action is to leave Iraq before the job is done.
Period.
And they're wrong.
And the American people have got to understand the consequence of leaving Iraq before the job is done.
We're not gonna leave Iraq before the job is done, and we'll complete the mission in Iraq.
I can't tell you exactly when it's gonna be done, but I do know that it's important for us to support the Iraqi people who have shown incredible courage and their desire to live in a free society.
And if we ever give up the desire to help people who live in freedom, we will have lost our soul as a nation, as far as I'm concerned.
He believes this democracy project stuff, and I do too.
I there's no question.
I just like the only thing I'd like to see added to it is a incredible projection of our power.
I would I would love to see a massive projection of our power because uh to defeat these people in Iraq once and for all because I think it'd be easier to establish uh this this democratic regime that is our objective.
Uh absent as many terrorist threats, insurgency actions, and so forth and so on.
But that's just me.
In this one, Bush boils down the uh boys of campaign down to two issues.
Democrats want to cut and run in Iraq and raise your taxes.
He was he was asked here uh a question if you were campaigning, uh, what would you campaign on?
There's a fundamental difference between uh many of the Democrats and my party, and that is they want to leave before the job is completed in Iraq.
This is a global war on terror.
I repeat what our major general said in the region.
He said, if we withdraw before the job is done, the enemy will follow us here.
I strongly agree with that.
I'd be telling people that the Democrats will raise your taxes.
I'd be reminding people there's a philosophical difference between those who want to raise taxes and have the government spend the money and those of us who say you get to spend the money the way you want to see fit.
It's your money.
There you go.
Quick timeout, we'll be back and continue right after this.
Don't vanish.
Ha, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man behind the golden EIB microphone, 800 282-288-2.
If you uh would like to be on the program today.
The president also announced today that we're sending 230 million dollars of aid to help rebuild damaged areas of Beirut and uh and other parts of Lebanon.
And I must confess that when I when I heard him reading off this list at the beginning of the press conference, thought I was getting a Katrina type laundry list of things.
And it was a little disturbing.
The Israelis are trying to stop that and have been successful on a couple of occasions.
I said, Well, why are we doing this?
What we're trying to prove to these people we can't buy their affection.
They're they're they're militant Islamists.
It's gonna work.
Um but administration's being consistent.
I I I mentioned to you from the from the first days of the uh uh Israel Hezbollah, that the administration kept talking about the government of Lebanon must step up.
The government of Lebanon uh Lebanon must uh remain uh uh whole and and functioning.
Uh the the administration has a desire that Lebanon remain a democracy, become a full-fledged functioning democracy.
And that's why the uh that's why the aid and a lot of people look at all this uh the democracy project in Iraq as a failure is going nowhere.
G and I'm gonna try that in Lebanon, we're gonna pay them to and people have a negative attitude about it.
But um may as well get used to it, folks.
Uh president's gonna stick with this.
This is an identifying characteristic of his uh own soul and his uh his policy here at the same time.
Uh as I mentioned, one of the areas the president was peppered with uh with questions, and the media was somewhat tame today.
They weren't as rude there was as they usually are, there were some uh uh examples of it, but uh it was sort of tame, I thought.
But what they were doing is they always do, carrying the Democrat Party's message with their questions.
They were asking questions to which the answers really didn't matter to them.
They're not interested in the answers, they just wanted to make their points via the questions.
So they were just mouthing the Democrat talking points today.
One of the areas that uh uh they really peppered the president on was Hurricane Katrina.
So I'm watching this and what's this about?
Hurricane Katrina.
And then I start pouring through the mounds of paper that I have been printing out all weekend in the process of viewing show prep, and there's this story uh from the Associated Press on Saturday, Ray Nagan blames racism, red tape on slow Katrina recovery.
New Orleans mayor Ray Nagan raised school bus Nagan on Friday, blamed racism and government bureaucracy for hamstringing New Orleans' ability to weather Hurricane Katrina and recover from the disaster that struck the Gulf Coast nearly a year ago.
They're already celebrating the anniversary of this.
They're trying to rev up the same kind of playbook rhetoric that they had a year ago.
And we're not yet at the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
That won't happen until the 29th of August.
And by the way, speaking of that, we are now below the seasonal average for hurricanes.
We are below the seasonal average for hurricanes.
There should have been three plus a fraction of a hurricane or a named storm, tropical depression, what have you, by now.
Um we've only had three, so we're running behind here, ladies and gentlemen.
And the reasons, the reasons are much cooler sea surface temperatures and the western Atlantic and the Caribbean, and uh and western winds, uh westerly winds, uh, at altitude, which uh just shear the tops off of these storms if they do, if they do form.
Anyway, uh school bus Nagan was speaking to the annual meeting, excuse me, of the National Association of Black Journalists, and he said it to hurricane exposed the soft underbelly of America as it relates to dealing with race and class.
And I to this day believe that if that would have happened in Orange County, California, if that would have happened in South Beach, Miami, it would have been a different response.
Hey, school bus.
Uh there have been uh earthquakes in California.
There have been hurricanes in South Beach.
There have been hurricanes all over Florida.
And you don't hear this kind of a problem, do you?
You don't hear all these massive reports of of uh laziness and lack of effort in rebuilding at the local level, and you don't hear the residents in Florida or Mississippi complaining about the federal effort.
How much money have we sent down there?
It's over a hundred billion.
Haven't we sent us?
It's it's it's an amazing well, billion million how the numbers run together on me.
But I think it's quite natural here that uh school bus Nagan would never blame himself.
He'd never blame the people of New Orleans for anything bad that happens in his chocolate city.
And yes, he called it a chocolate city.
New Orleans was 60% black before Katrina struck, and earlier this year the mayor called on fellow blacks to again make New Orleans a chocolate city, but he uh he later apologized.
He condemned federal regulations that discourage rebuilding in the largely black and low-lying ninth ward.
So I I guess according to School Bus Nagan, uh, it is only because Americans hate black people that holds them back.
Uh you know, when I when I think of all the massive aid uh and programs that have gone down there to help these people apart from the government, uh you know, charitable efforts, individual efforts, uh and and nothing's happening.
I'm I'm gonna tell you, New Orleans was a failure of three things.
And they're all equal.
It was a failure of the federal government.
I don't know if it's a failure of the federal government.
I think one of the things Nagan said, by the way, in his inaugural speech when he was re-elected, he actually told the citizens of New Orleans, hey, next hurricane, you are on your own.
Well, if you're on your own when the next hurricane hits, how come you're not on your own when it comes to rebuilding before the next hurricane hits?
Because the Democratic Party playbook.
Democratic Party playbook and election year blame the government, blame everybody else for your problems.
It's a federal government moderate failure.
The state and local governments were a disaster.
And as Newt Gingrich said in an interview with me for the Limbaugh letter not long ago, was a failure of citizenship.
New Orleans was a classic example of what should have been a utopia.
Liberals have been running that place for years.
There should have been no disaster, should have been no unhappiness, no unemployment, no poverty, and look what the hurricane revealed.
And welcome back.
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
There's another AP story on Hurricane Katrina here that's not so much about uh Nagan, it's about the job still isn't done.
More than a hundred million cubic yards of debris have been cleared from the region affected by Katrina.
So far, the government spent 3.6 billion, a figure that might have been considerably smaller had the contracts for debris removal been subject to uh competitive uh bidding.
That it just goes on in recounts.
It's election time, folks.
It just recounts what hasn't been done, the failures, it's all the federal government's fault and so forth.
It's time for the idea that I proposed last week.
After reading how quickly the Hesbows are rebuilding Beirut and Southern Lebanon.
I mean, we got all these wonderful stories from the drive-by media about how they're rebuilding the roads already.
Some of the bridges have already been rebuilt, schools are up and functioning now.
Air conditioning turned back on.
Why?
Bring them to New Orleans.
Let the Hesballs rebuild there if they're so damn good at it.
Uh uh it's just election time, and it's time to replay all of the plays from the playbook.
Now, you know, Spike Lee has a um a documentary on Katrina coming out on HBO.
When is this thing air?
I think it airs um schedule to air tonight.
And in it, uh, the police chief of New Orleans says he exaggerated post-Katrina crime.
The police chief lied to the Oprah on her show.
You know, the Oprah's become a magnet for liars.
That guy that wrote the um the crazy book uh and uh what was his and I forget his name.
Everybody knows who I'm talking about.
Um now the police chief went on the Oprah show and uh and lied to her.
The New Orleans police chief during Hurricane Katrina, Eddie Cumpus, says he unnecessarily heightened people's fears by repeating unconfirmed reports of out-of-control crime in the city during the aftermath of the storm, adding to the confusion caused by the disaster and potentially hampering rescue efforts.
Hey, uh uh police chief compass.
Uh you weren't the only one, buddy.
The drive by media was doing a hell of a great job in uh reporting a bunch of falsehoods about the disaster from the toxic soup.
That would be the floodwaters.
So the uh the murders, the rapes, the mayhem inside the Super Bowl and the convention center.
Mr. Compass says in the spikely documentary, there were reports of rapes and children being raped, and I even got one report that my daughter was raped.
Mr. Compass resigned from his post as New Orleans police superintendent in September of 2005.
He said, in hindsight, I guess I heightened people's fears by me being the superintendent of the police reporting these things that were reported to me.
Mr. Compass said of the unverified accounts of crime and disorder in flooded New Orleans that he repeated to the press and to the Ultra, who is becoming a magnet for liars.
So uh, in part due to the trumped-up crime reports, officials in a neighboring town, fearing the chaos would spread, responded by ordering the police to shoot any evacue who attempted to cross the Crescent City Connection Bridge into the city of Gretna from New Orleans.
I'm gonna tell you that during that storm, the national media reported rampant rumors that have now turned out not to be true, and people were terrified, said Louisiana's Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrew, and the Spike Lee documentary that airs tonight on HBO.
It is called When the Levi's Broker Requiem in Four Acts.
So you got the Lieutenant Governor finally getting it on record that the drive by media reported rampant rumors.
And let's not forget that these same drive-by media reporters awarded themselves Pulitzers.
For their great work down in New Orleans.
Now, this from the Los Angeles Times.
Headline says it all.
Houston grumbles as evacuees stay put.
Almost a year after Hurricane Katrina caused the country's.
Why am I spending so much time on this?
Because the drive-by me, I'm telling you folks, we're getting set up for two weeks of Katrina's stories about how Bush hates blacks, Republicans hates blacks.
The Democratic Party is the only person, the only group that cares about blacks.
Federal government's incompetent.
Bush lied.
Bush didn't care.
Blah, blah, blah.
And we're just I can see it.
With these stories, I can hear it in the questions we got today.
I just want you to get ready.
This is how the drive-by's work.
They drove through there.
They drove through there and lobbed their little journalism grenades all in the aftermath, and they're coming back to do it again.
And it's uh, you know, time to be prepared.
Almost a year after Hurricane Katrina caused the country's largest mass migration since a dust bowl.
As many as a hundred and fifty thousand evacuees still live in Houston.
And increasingly many are indicating they no longer plan to go home.
To many Houstonians, that's overstaying the welcome.
Houston's homicide rate has shot up 18% since Hurricane Katrina.
Police statistics show that one in every five homicides in the city involves a Katrina evacuee as a suspect.
Whoa.
Whoa.
This got this got by some lib editor at the LA Times, and it is a Los Angeles Times story.
It's not uh not AP.
Uh white and other civic leaders remain committed to helping hurricane victims rebuild their lives and become Texans if they choose.
But in the crowded apartment line neighborhoods in Houston, uh, where most evacuees wound up, the famous Texas hospitality is wearing thin.
Many residents are fed up with rising crime, and some are upset that evacuees could end up being a financial drain on the city.
Time for them to go home, said Victoria Palacios, the manager of an easy loan store in Southwest Houston that has been held up four times in the last year.
Crime she has convinced evacuees committed because of the distinct accents of the robbers.
Ever since they came here, we've been getting robbed.
In Houston, two-thirds of evacuees receiving housing assistance planned to stay, according to a Zogby poll.
This is why school bus Nagan was was, you know, begging uh the evacuees to come back and uh and rebuild the uh the chocolate city.
So one in five homicides in Houston since Hurricane Katrina involve a guest from New Orleans.
Two-thirds are on assistance in order to stay in Houston.
Now, all of this, of course, is the federal government's fault.
And again, I want to raise the specter.
What should New Orleans have been?
Liberal Democrats have been running that place for I don't know how long.
It should have been a model.
It should have been a utopia, with liberals running it and being able to do whatever they want.
There should have been no unhappiness.
There should have been no depression.
There should have been no unemployment.
There should have been no racism.
Uh there should have been no poverty.
Uh buildings should have been sparkling clean.
Uh it turns out to be just the opposite as we as we learn, uh, ladies and gentlemen, and we have a great illustration of what happens to a community and to a people uh with unchecked liberalism.
They become unable to care for themselves because they don't think it's their job.
They're not taught to, they're not raised to.
They're Taught to depend on some flunky from the government coming in and making things better and okay.
Uh you know, in Houston, I got an idea.
We like to solve problems here on the uh on the EIB network.
We don't just like to regale you with criticism and problems.
Uh Houston, Texas, you might want to consider a guest criminal program, much like the uh the Senate is considering a guest worker program uh to deal with uh illegal immigration.
Uh just have all these criminals register uh and and have them go back home uh on occasion, uh and and uh you know, make it make him get a job for two bucks an hour doing something.
Uh uh it's called a guest criminal program, and that way you can you can separate the crime stats um uh and categorize the crime stats of the Katrina evacuees to Houston residents, and that way your crime rate will not be reported as high in Houston if you have a guest criminal program, uh, which essentially Houston does.
Apparently, uh what they've got is a guest criminal program, or just it's not uh not calling that.
Now, Juan Williams in the Washington Post.
Banish the bling.
A culture of failure taints black America.
And this is published today.
And he's uh speaking uh you know in the footsteps here of Bill Cosby.
Let me give you some excerpts of this.
Have we taken our eyes off the prize?
The civil rights movement continues, but the struggle today is not so much in the streets as in the home and with our children.
If systemic racism remains a reality, there is also a far more sinister obstacle facing African American young people today.
A culture steeped in bitterness and nihilism, a culture that is a virtual blueprint for failure.
The emphasis on young people in today's civil rights struggle is rooted in demographics.
America's black, Hispanic, and immigrant population far younger than its white population.
Those young people of color live in a big cities.
They rely on big city public schools.
And that ain't helping them either.
Recently, Bill Cosby has once again run up against critics in 2004 on the 50th anniversary of the Brown v.
Cosby took on that culture of failure in a speech that was a true successor to W. E. B. Du Bois' 1903 declaration that breaking the color line of segregation would be the main historical challenge for 20th century America in a nation where it is getting tougher and tougher to afford a house, health insurance and a college education.
In other words, to attain solid middle class status, Cosby decried the excuses for opting out of the competition altogether.
Incredibly, Cosby's critics don't see the desperate need to pull a generational fire alarm to warn people about a culture of failure that is sabotaging any chance for black people in poverty to move up and help their children reach the security of economic and educational achievement.
Not one mainstream civil rights group picked up on his call for marches and protests against bad parenting, drug dealers, hate-filled rap music and failing schools.
Uh there's a reason for this.
I'll tell you in a minute.
Where is the civil rights groundswell on behalf of stronger marriages that will allow more children to grow up in two parent families and have better chance of staying out of poverty?
Where are the marches demanding good schools for those children and the strong cultural reinforcement for high academic achievement?
Where are the exhortations for children to reject the self-defeating stereotypes that reduce black people to violent oversexed gangsters, minstrel show comedians, and mindless athletes?
Individuals must now use the opportunities made available to them by the sacrifices of past generations if they are to achieve victory in America's long and still unfinished civil rights movement.
That's Juan Williams in the Washington Post pick this apart when we come back after this timeout.
This won't take long because it's not hard.
Cherry picking Juan Williams P. By the way, it's a good piece.
Don't misunderstand, but uh I I want to try to explain to him uh what what the answers to some of the questions he raises are.
For example, he writes incredibly Cosby's critics don't see the desperate need to pull a generational fire alarm to warn people about a culture of failure that is sabotaging any chance for black people in poverty to move up and help their children reach the security of economic and educational achievement.
Not one mainstream civil rights group picked up on his call for marches and protests against bad parenting, drug dealers, hate-filled rap music, and failing schools.
Well, there's an answer to this.
I mean, there's a reason.
Uh why why is it, in fact, one it's worse than this.
It's not just that the um the message isn't being delivered, it's not just the encouragement's not being delivered.
Those who actually do this get maligned.
Look at the cartoons depicting Condoleezza Rice.
She is the Secretary of State for the United States of America.
Ought to be a role model.
Look at what they have done to Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Look what they are doing to Bill Cosby as he attempts to sound the Clarion warning here.
Uh and and any time uh individual blacks triumph over the prescriptions as put out and put forth by the civil rights agenda, well, they are pillaried.
They're called Uncle Tom's or what have you.
They are marked.
Uh it's it's worse than than than he describes it.
Why is that?
Well, uh, two words, Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party owes its future to a continuing 90% vote in presidential races by the black community.
And so it anoints various black leaders as members at the power elite table.
They are people like the Reverend Zach and Al Sharpton and the like.
And the mission for those guys to remain powerful of the Democratic Party is to make sure that the message that uh Juan Williams wants blacks to hear and Bill Cosby wants them to hear, is not only not heard, but it's reticuled.
And it is lampooned and it is destroyed.
The uh the civil rights coalitions uh are coalition, and this is people for the American way, uh uh, all of these disparate groups that have a the teachers' unions, they all have a seat at the Democratic Party's power table.
And to keep that seat, they gotta keep people voting Democrats.
Now, why do the Democrats want people to remain in their current economic melees?
Well, because uh along with that, you have to convince people that the malaise they're in is not because of themselves or the Democratic Party, it's because of Republicans and racism and tax uh cuts for the rich and so forth.
So you keep the people mad, you keep them victims.
Democrats are running out of victims as the economy burgeons.
That's why they're so interested in all these illegal immigrants and getting them to vote.
Democrats need victims.
They need people whose lives are miserable in order to be able to blame Republicans for it.
And if you don't have enough people whose lives are miserable, then you're sunk as the Democratic Party.
They need misery.
They need people angry in their misery, and they need people who are not told how to get out of it on their own.
They need people who are not encouraged to do that.
Anybody comes along and does that, they're a racist, or they're an Uncle Tom, or they're uh uh uh looking through rose-colored glasses or what have you.
This is easy to understand, uh, difficult to change.
But I think it's an interesting column from Juan Williams coming on the face in the face in the aftermath of the Ray Negan's piece, uh Ray Nagan's story in O. Associated Press about how there's still so much suffering going on in New Orleans, still so much misery going on.
And of course, guess what?
It's the government's fault.
It's Bush's fault, it's the fault of racism.
Uh and yet you go just next door to Mississippi, and you don't hear these kind of words and complaints and whining, and it was just as disastrous there, if not more so.
Uh you don't hear it in Florida.
I mean, you hear some.
Where's FEMA?
I don't have my roof yet, but uh you don't hear the kind of things you're hearing out of uh New Orleans and Ray Nagens.
Uh as far where is the civil rights groundswell on behalf of stronger marriages that allow more children to grow up in two parent families, where the marches demanding good schools for the child Juan, come I can't believe that you actually don't know what's happening going on with the public school system.
Where the marches for good schools ever heard of the voucher program?
The minority community is the first in line when when uh philanthropists pass out money uh to equate what they would have if they had a voucher they could choose their own school to go to.
They parents in these communities know the schools are horrible shape, but they are going to remain in horrible shape because the Democratic Party, once again, is the answer to all your questions, Juan.
The Democratic Party wants the public school system to remain inept.
The less people know, the dumber they can be kept.
Uh and the more ignorant they can be kept, uh, the more likely they are to be able to be molded and manipulated to blame somebody else for their misery, and also make sure the teachers' union remains happy, can keep uh contributing money to the Democrats.
Uh it's all about Democrat power.
It's not about helping anybody else.
Back in just a sex.
Hank, those uh Katrina evacuees in Houston.
It's very easy to explain what's going on there, folks.
They're just doing the crime that uh Houston residents refuse to do.
Be back after this with more broadcast excellence.
