Time Text
Hi, how are you, folks?
Great to have you back, Rush Limbaugh on Hump Day.
Here we are already to Wednesday, the fastest week in media.
Takes place here on the fastest three hours in media, Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, a true living legend.
Learn it, love it, live it.
From the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, where our old buddy John Mertha, Jack Mertha, just released another report on military preparedness and says he's introducing a resolution in the House calling for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld.
The dissent into utter madness on the part of Democrats continues.
Ladies and gentlemen, and they continue to throw out these people that uh do not resonate and do not influence across the great fruited plain.
Also, there's a uh there's a bank holdup going on in a suburb outside Chicago.
Some guys holding hostages in a bank.
Uh I don't know if it has anything to do with Walmart or not, but we will find out uh as the uh as the afternoon progresses.
Now, here's that story out of the UK.
Kelloggs has come under fire from animal lovers who are furious about a television commercial showing a man riding a dog like a horse.
Nearly 100 complaints have been made against the new crunchy nut cornflakes commercial, which shows a very small man finishing work and riding home on the back of an Irish wolf hound.
Dog lovers say the behavior in the scene is cruel and could be copied by churrin.
However, no action is to be taken by the advertising standards authority, which has dismissed the complaints.
It says viewers would be able to spot that the scenes were computer generated.
In the commercial, the man seen riding a dog home from work, the text at the bottom of the screen reads, Don't try this with your dog at home.
I don't know what this has to do with selling cereal, ladies and gentlemen.
But the uh the bottom line is this.
Here you have people in an uproar over a TV commercial computer generated showing a little guy riding the back of an Irish wolfhound.
By the same token, we have a movie that has finally gotten a U.S. distributor showing the assassination of George W. Bush.
Uh, and I don't I I don't see all that many complaints about it.
Certainly not a whole lot of outrage from people that uh there ought to be universal outrage about it.
There ought to be, you know, at some point you realize the line has been crossed.
But no, uh, there is no line anymore as far as the Democrats are concerned and their reacquisition of power.
There's uh a uh review of the movie in the Hollywood reporter by a guy named Kirk Honeycott.
And he says that Death of a President is a slick but ethically dubious movie.
Uh Death of a President uses the morally dubious tactic of mixing real news footage with staged events to create an imagined assassination of President Bush.
As convincing as the manipulated footage of the president's death in Chicago in October 2007 is, the movie cannot be more unconvincing in its approach.
Does it not occur to the filmmaker Gabriel Range as he takes his bows for his clever stunt that the very forces he warns against will use his film as propaganda?
Their line will be this if the enemies of President Bush can be so crass as to imagine his cinematic murder, then what value can one give to their arguments against our great leader's domestic and foreign policies?
Gabriel Range just made Carl Rove's Day.
And there's that's a that's a a pretty good uh assessment.
Uh it's a huge stark contrast the way people react to an animal commercial that's computer generated in this movie, which for what I understand the distributors are going to try to get it aired before the election sometime this fall.
Now, there you you you can't say that the filmmaker is just engaging in his art.
There is, and by the way, if you're worried that uh uh commercial showing a human being riding a dog will cause copycat behavior.
How come the same people are saying, oh no, nobody's gonna look at this as uh as a signal, as a Manchurian candidate kind of signal to go out there and assassinate Bush.
The uh moral equivalence of the left is stunning.
ABC News is out with a new poll this morning that will likely bring smiles to the faces of Republican donors the president plans to address today.
The new poll number show uh should also provide some good fodder for the president when he uh heads to the Hildemar to pump up the Republican conference.
This is from uh ABC News The Note.
Terrorism is inched up in importance in the 2006 midterm elections.
Republicans have regained an edge in trust to handle it, helping uh Bush's party move closer to the Democrats in congressional vote preference, writes the ABC News polling director Gary Langer.
The Republicans lead the Democrats in trust to handle terrorism by 48 to 41.
That's that's inching up.
A seven-point lead is called inching up.
4841 lead handling uh terrorism trust among registered voters in this poll.
That's a flip from a seven-point Democrat advantage last month.
So I don't I don't call that inching up.
I call that a 14-point swing, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Sixteen percent now call terrorism a top issue in their vote.
That's a slight uh five-point gain.
So the uh the polling data continues to turn around, and the people that uh that are watching this just terribly, terribly upset about it.
Uh Democrats' gasoline prices uh falling.
Uh, earlier today uh in Iowa, the price of uh uh self-served regular was down to 199 in a certain part of I'm not sure where.
I think it's back over two dollars today, but um, I mean it's it's uh gasoline prices are coming down, and and there's this I have a story in the stack where where uh people in fact it's snerdly stacked, people are worried about this.
This is here yet.
The the headline, it's a Reuters story, oil's deepest route in 16 years.
Oil prices have fallen as much as sixteen dollars from their peaks.
Their steepest reversal in 16 years, in a correction that traders say may be harder to shake off than past setbacks in the market's four-year rally.
In real terms, Brent crude has fallen sixteen dollars and two cents a barrel since it hit a high of 7865 on August 8.
This marks its biggest decline from peak to trough since prices fell from $40 in October 1990 after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait to $16 in February of 1991, when ground forces expelled Iraqi forces.
U.S. crude has dropped nearly $15 to hit a near six-month low, $63.50 a barrel on Wednesday, a fall only a hair shy of those in August-November 2005.
This whole story, full of hand-wringing.
Oh, no, the oil price is full.
Oh, what's gonna happen, and there's no end in sight.
Oh no!
No wind inside the worst that it's ever been.
Now I'm I'm reading this and I'm dumb.
Was when the price was going up, of course, why it was a conspiracy.
It was Bush's fault and big oil, and they were gouging the Americans after Hurricane Katrina, and there was all kinds of concern.
How can this happen?
Why is there no compassion for the average American who can't afford this?
What's gonna happen to the thumb driving the oh no, oh no.
Now the price is going down, and where's the happiness?
No, there's no happiness.
There's only concern for big oil in this story.
There's concern for big oil.
The same outfits as Reuters, the same outfit that accuses big oil of gouging everybody when prices go up and not concerned about.
Oh no, how can this be?
Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen.
The primary concern here is the economic impact, politically, and how it takes uh uh a so-called slow and uh and trudging along economy off of the front page in terms of political issue.
And then there's this.
From Maryland, Representative Ben Cardin, a veteran Congressman who voted against the war in Iraq, won the Democrat nomination to replace retiring Democrat Paul Sarbanes.
Cardin had edged out his closest competitor, the former NAA L C P head, Kwaisi Imfume, and sixteen other candidates will face Republican Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele in November.
The race between Cardin, who is white, and Imfume was amicable, neither man criticizing the other and both voicing support for troop withdrawals from Iraq and Universal Health Insurance.
Democrats interviewed on Tuesday said they chose Cardin over Imfume because of Cardin's vote against the war in Iraq.
Sarbanes also voted against the war.
Imfume wasn't in Congress at the time.
You know what the untold story here is that the Democrats have once again said to a black.
Imfume ran the NAALCP.
Mfume was in Congress once as a Republican.
Quite easy Imfume, and wanted to be in the Senate.
And the Democrats are saying we gotta stand up for more minorities in the in public institutions.
There's a discrimination out there and there's radical racism on the part of the Republicans.
And here was a chance for the very liberal state of Maryland, as liberal as they are in Massachusetts to show how they are not racists, and how they are into diversity and rewarding people who've been discriminated against their whole lives, like Queasy Impume, a chance to vault into the top.
Instead, Maryland liberals, as usual, chose the white guy.
We have that John Murpha soundbite, ladies and gentlemen this afternoon on Capitol Hill.
A portion of his remarks about his brave, courageous resolution.
I'm introducing a resolution today asking for resignation of Secretary Don Rumsfield.
Good.
Not only for his past mistakes.
He said there are weapons of mass destruction, we know where they are.
He said this war won't last six weeks, maybe six months.
He said uh it cost 50 billion dollars.
So not only for his past mistakes, but for the future of the military.
And that's the thing that I've worried about the most.
Yeah, well, you know what?
I think this is not a bad idea, Congressman Mertha.
So I would like to join you in another resolution, and that is that everybody had anything to do with a great society and the war on poverty, resign or be fired because they destroyed lives, they kept people destituted in poverty, and you want to talk about said it would only cost 50 billion or 50 million or whatever.
How much treasure have we wasted on the Great Society programs?
There has been since they started in the mid-60s, a transfer of wealth in this country totaling five trillion dollars to the social safety net, and what has it gotten us?
Complaints that the minimum wage is too low.
We haven't reduced poverty according to percentages.
And so if you want Rumsfeld out, I'm gonna make a resolution that the entire Democrat Party resign.
This next story, I'm sure you've seen this, heard about it.
This is a kind of thing infuriates me, and I have to tell you, when I watched The Path to 9-11, by the way, we're going back to audio soundbites three and uh and four next, Ed.
I I just when I saw all of the hesitation and all the rules and all the regulations that prevented us from taking out bin Laden or other terrorists, my blood boiled.
And now there's this stories in the New York Post today.
Taliban, and there's a picture of it.
Taliban terror leaders who had gathered for a funeral and were secretly being watched by an eye-in-the-sky American drone, dodged assassination because U.S. rules of engagement bar attacks in cemeteries, according to a shocking report.
U.S. intelligence officers in Afghanistan are still fuming about the recent lost opportunity for an easy kill of Taliban honchos packed in tight formation for the burial.
NBC News had the pictures.
It looks like there may be 190 of them there.
The unmanned drone circling undetected high overhead fed a continuous satellite feed of the target to officers in the ground.
We were so excited they came rushing in with the picture.
One U.S. Army officer told NBC.
But that excitement quickly got to uh turn to gut-wrenching frustration because the rules of engagement on the ground in Afghanistan blocked the U.S. from mounting a missile or bomb strike in a cemetery.
According to the report, uh Pentagon officials declined comment, referred the New York Post to Central Command officers in Afghanistan who didn't respond to requests for comment or explanation by uh by press time.
Now uh the Taliban bombs other Muslim funerals.
The Taliban hides behind women and children, as does Al Qaeda and all of these other terrorists.
This is a new kind of war, and we're gonna have to rethink these rules.
I know why we do it, folks.
I know why we do it.
We do it to um uh uh you know maintain the United States uh dignity and and and so forth.
I understand that blowing up uh cemeteries and this sort of thing, but man, when these people are we we just we spell out hiding places for them uh in the uh in the process.
Let me go back to this a couple more sound bites here on the path to 91.
Um we have an unreal analysis here from a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
His name is Michael Delicapini, and uh being interviewed by PBS correspondent Jeffrey Brown, who says there have been reports in recent days about ties between the filmmakers, the path to 911, and conservative causes or organizations.
I would quickly add it's not quite clear what that means exactly or what those ties would mean, but it uh but because it's been so much discussed, in what ways would that matter to you, perhaps in what ways wouldn't it matter to you?
I think it matters a lot.
And the ties are both with the director and with the screenwriter, and they have to do with involvements with organizations that have as part of their mission bringing more conservative views into mainstream media.
What the audience needs to know, and what needs to be up front with people as they view it, if they're going to watch it critically and understand what's being said to them, is that that's the case.
I would put on the network a very strong obligation to let its audience know that they are getting a film that comes from a point of view, even if there is an effort to make that point of view more subtle.
Stop the stop the tape.
Stop the tape.
Mr. Mr. Delhi Carpini, would you also agree that we need such disclaimers in front of practically 90% of the movies that come out of Hollywood for the big screen and for television?
What is this?
To say that there is an agenda behind movies is new and only conservatives are doing it?
And the public needs to be warned about this.
And by the way, what is so threatening and what is so dangerous about conservatives in Hollywood attempting to produce and write and distribute product?
Well, I'll tell you what's so threatening about it, folks.
The same way this program threatens them.
They used to have a monopoly.
And they're worried sick, they're going to lose it.
This movie, The Path to 9 11 was an earth-shattering.
Well, there's no crime in being up, sorry, this there is.
Conservatism is criminal.
They're attempting to criminalize conservative ideology.
Here's the rest of the bite.
We got one more from this guy.
Just as we would expect a news show to tell us uh where their information is coming from.
Is there a bias?
Is this an opinion or hold it?
Hold it.
Hold it.
When do we get that?
When do we ever get a news show telling us of their bias and where a certain story came from?
What is the this guy's a professor at the University of Pennsylvania?
Here's the rest.
And then the next bite is this.
Uh uh actually different.
Different.
It's not the same guy.
Uh that that again was uh University of uh Pennsylvania Professor Michael Delacarpini on MSNBC yesterday, the anchor babe, Melissa Raeburger talking to Democrat strategist uh Flavia Colgan.
Maybe it's Flavia, I don't know.
I didn't I've never heard it pronounced.
Ray Berger says, after you saw the path to 911, are you upset ABC didn't pull it all together?
Or did the edited version make a difference?
Oh, absolutely not.
One, I think it undercuts the credibility of the film when you have it being released to Rush Limbaugh beforehand.
Forty million dollars funding it, we don't know where it's coming from.
Sandy Burger and Clinton were well um within their rights, certainly to appeal to Tom Kane, the Republican co-chairman of the 910 40 million dollars, and we don't know where it came from.
How about ABC?
It's an ABC movie, Flavia Flavia.
Touchstone put it out.
I do have the DVDs.
It irritates them so much.
They can't they can't get over this.
They're beside themselves with the fact that I got the DVDs.
But I wasn't the first Flavia Flavia.
How many times have I got to say this?
This movie was screened at the National Press Club, and half the audience was Democrats, including Richard Ben Vanista and some people from the 9-11 Commission.
I was not first on the list.
I had nothing to do with writing this thing.
I didn't even talk to Cyrus Norasta in the process.
All I knew was some years ago he was working on it.
But what frankly, when he told me about it, it went in one ear and out the other, because I figured this thing doesn't have a prayer.
But go for it, Cyrus.
I didn't even get all the details.
I had no clue what this thing was going to be before I they think I wrote it.
They think I they thought I guided Cyrus.
Cyrus and his pe th this isn't ABC project, folks.
This is an ABC project.
And I'll bet you before all this hubbub came up, this thing was so good.
I will bet you ABC Iger thought it was one of the greatest things they'd ever produced internally.
back in just a moment.
Well, the preliminary reports out of Montreal, Canada, ladies and gentlemen, that And Two people have been shot at Dawson College in Montreal.
A man has barricaded himself inside the college in uh Montreal.
Student says that two people were shot, one of them in the neck.
I wonder if this guy thought President Bush was there.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh on the hot seat, the hot button today, pushing that button hard.
800-282-2882.
I want to go back to this uh this uh University of Pennsylvania professor for just a second.
Uh Michael Delhi Carpini, PBS News Hour with Jim O'Lara, uh being asked about the movie, The Path to 911.
And uh uh I'm not gonna listen to the whole thing, stand by Ed for when I tell you to kill it.
I think it matters a lot.
And the ties are both with the director and with the screenwriter, and they have to do with involvements with organizations that have as part of their mission bringing more conservative views into mainstream media.
What the audience needs to know and what needs to be up front with people as they view it, if they're going to watch it critically and understand what's being said to them, is that that's the case.
I would put on the network a very strong obligation to let its audience know that they are getting a film that comes from a point of view.
Stop the tape.
All right, sir, Mr. Delhi Carpini.
Let's say I were to take your suggestion as something useful and valuable.
I would then say this to PBS in the news hour Jim Lara.
And next time you have University of Pennsylvania Professor Michael Delli Carpini on, inform your viewers he has a point of view.
Inform your viewers where he comes from.
Inform your viewers whether he's a liberal, criticizing what he thinks is a conspiratorial conservative movie.
I mean, if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
If conservatives in Hollywood have to identify their work, we're conservatives, and this has a conservative slant.
Then I think every liberal ought to be forced to do the same thing.
People, you know, that it all these professors and all these elitists, the smartest people in the world cut above, and they're not.
Uh they're so easily refutable that it's it's uh refutable for those of you in realinda that it's uh hardly worth the time.
I want to go back and correct something, folks.
I said a moment ago that um these libs think that I co-wrote uh the path to 9-11, because I'm a friend of the writer Cyrus Norasta.
And they think, and they're out there trying to say that released a limball first limb, they're trying to imply Limbaugh was in on it.
Here's the bottom line.
They know I had nothing to do with this.
They know full well I had nothing to do with any aspect of this movie.
This is just the way they do things, typical smear tactics.
I'm bad, Cyrus Norasta is bad, that equals the movie is bad.
They do it to people.
They do it to people like me and Cheney and Bush and Rove and Rumsfeld, they do it to companies, Exxon, Walmart, Halliburton, they do it to objects, guns, cigarettes, and CVs.
SUVs, all they do is smear things and smear people.
They produce nothing.
Liberals produce nothing, they accomplish nothing, they're responsible for nothing, so they seek and destroy.
Because that's the only way they can deal with their opponents is to discredit them.
J.D. in uh in Binghampton, New York.
Welcome to the program.
Hello.
Hi.
First of all, quick kudos to your um screener.
Even though you know just so other people know that when people call in, sometimes we get put on hold for an hour.
So what we say will reflect what you said earlier in the show.
And um uh first of all, the last caller, I have to take issue with that man who had the nerve to put JFK and George Bush in the same sentence and equate their statesmanship.
I mean, he must have been a comedian, as you are, Rush.
And um Thank you.
Yes.
Well, you're your unfortunate.
Thank you, JD.
I I appreciate that.
Uh-huh.
You're real funny.
Anyway, um, and for anyone to say that liberals, Democrats, or anyone else is on the side of terrorists, has to be dealt with.
That is disgusting and low.
And when people cannot deal with the facts as they present themselves, then they resort to calling names and saying things that are totally untrue.
JD, be very careful.
You're being very self-descriptive here, at least as in terms of liberals.
Uh you may not be talking.
That's fine.
I'm proud of it, Rush.
I have to do that.
No, but I mean that's you've just described everything liberals are doing, calling people names, making things.
No, not me.
Calling Bush names, making things.
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking you are obviously a liberal.
I'm talking about liberals.
You're talking about it.
I am principled.
Can't even admit it.
Can't even just say I am a liberal.
I said I'm liberal and I'm proud of it.
Do you want me to say it again?
Can't you?
I know you have a hearing problem.
I'm sorry, I should have realized that.
So sorry, Doug.
How long how long did it take for the personal attack?
We got this inside a minute, didn't we?
Uh well, you get you people, well, the people that you represent and the neocons.
I'm not saying all Republicans.
I'm saying the neo- You mean the Jews.
The Jews, excuse me.
That's what the neocons are.
Hello.
Well, then you better change the term neocon because that's what neocon is code for, the Jews.
The neocon is not code for the Jews.
Yes, it is.
The neocon is code for people who are bent upon destroying this country.
I grew up in with pride.
Right.
And you have Are you not proud any longer?
I'm partly proud.
I'm not proud of the administration now.
No, I'm proud of the people that will defeat it.
And people within the party.
Lincoln Chafey got re-elected yesterday.
And that shows you that people what?
It's a terrible shame.
What's a shame?
That he was re-elected.
Oh, for yes, from your point of view, it probably is.
Rush, what are you going to gain from this?
What do you get out of this?
What do I get out of what?
Backing these people that you know are destroying this country.
Uh I'm not backing people destroying the country.
I oppose pe I oppose people destroying the country.
They're destroying it.
As to what I get out of it, I have core beliefs and principles, J. D. And I don't compromise them for any party or person.
What?
Neither do I. Uh I will call a phase.
As as President Bush would say, we just disagree.
We don't just disagree.
There's there's you're putting through falsehoods on the radio show.
Every time I listen to one of your commercials, it's putting down gay people.
It's putting you yourself.
We do not put down gay people on this program.
You do we do not put down gay people.
You are here you go engaging in the typical smear tactics of the left, JD.
It's time to face the facts, JD.
Your side is on the side of terrorists.
Your side is trying to hamper the effort to catch them.
There are people, Islamo fascists who want to kill us, and you're more interested in punishing your own country and punishing George W. Bush.
You think Bush is the greater enemy of the of the two, the Islamo fascists, Al-Qaeda terrorists or what have you.
You can't hide that fact from me.
Your snarky, arrogant, snooty behavior has rubbed me wrong from the moment of your call, and I am happy to say goodbye.
Who's next on this pro Linda in Mount Laurel, New Jersey?
Welcome to the program.
Rush, I'm happy you said goodbye to her too.
We've had quite enough of J D. Um listen, she's she's commenting about your hearing problem.
I want to just say I'm a teacher of the deaf.
I work with many children with cochlear implants, and you are a successful role model for them.
Appreciate that, but you know, it's that that it's no big deal.
That's just typical of these people to start out with these personal assaults and personal attacks because they got nothing else.
Yeah.
Well, let me add you're also a desirable role model.
Yes.
Thank you.
Speaking of speaking of fantasy, um calling about the this movie about uh the assassination of President Bush.
Now, you're using the word imagine.
They're imagining this.
And I heard this uh some college professor last night on Fox News saying that this is all okay.
People don't act on what they see in movies.
Um I was this guy think I think I was watching it.
I didn't listen to it.
Was this guy's name Ron Walter from like UCALL UCLA?
I think he was from UCLA, yeah.
UCLA or USC.
Uh kind of he was wearing a t-shirt and a jacket and uh very long hair but bald on the top.
Yeah, not desirable.
Not well, that's that's uh you that's up to you.
I don't I don't look at men that way, one way or the other.
Well, let me say that I what I think is the work uses fantasy.
This is fantasy.
People are fantasizing about the assassination of President Bush.
And I and I I believe that it's clear that people act out fantasies that they see either in movies or in print, um, on billboards, anywhere else you might be out in public.
So um they're fantasizing about this.
And that's what I think is the difference.
Not just imagining it.
They're not this is not just for information or I know, and they're also they're also saying that this is a study in current geopolitical attitudes in the United States.
That's all bunk.
You know, we need to cut through the chase on this, Linda.
This is just tasteless.
It's just rank tastelessness.
It is coarse, it is vulgar, and it is disgusting, and these people wouldn't tolerate for one second a movie similarly made about one of their great so-called leaders.
I must take a brief time out.
We will be back, the desirable Rush Lindball in your moments back here on the EIB network.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, living legend and comedian, and desirable guy Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity on an EIB network.
Well, look at this.
Story from uh Reuters, Britain's children are being poisoned by a junk culture of processed food, computer games, and overcompetitive education.
According to an influential group of children's offers and experts, uh, who issued the warning yesterday in an open letter to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, one hundred and ten teachers, psychologists and children's authors, including the internationally acclaimed author Philip Pullman and Penelope Leach, a leading child care expert, called on the government to act now to prevent childhood being killed off all together.
Junk culture is killing childhood, forced to act and dress like many adults, children like MINI, many adults, little adults.
Children are becoming increasingly depressed and experiencing escalating levels of behavioral and developmental problems, no mention here of all drugs they are given just because they're kids.
Since children's brains are still developing, they cannot adjust as full-grown adults can to the effects of ever more rapid technological and cultural change, said the letter.
They need what developing human beings have always needed, including real food as opposed to junk.
Real play as opposed to sedentary screen-based entertainment, first hand experience of the world they live in, and regular interaction with the real life significant adults in their lives.
At the daycare center, right?
You know, it's amazing.
Just yesterday, uh I thought it was televisions that were killing kids, falling TVs.
Remember that story.
I I'm still sort of amazed at that.
There's a budding crisis.
Because ten children so far this year have been killed by falling TVs.
Five last year.
So it's doubled.
Ten kids killed By falling TVs.
I got all kinds of email on this.
Rush.
Do you know how big TVs have gotten?
Somebody dares ask me that.
You know how big TVs have got.
Yeah, I know how big TVs have gotten, but I know that TVs don't just fall on their own.
Maybe people aren't putting them in strong enough stands, but something's happening.
You know, something just doesn't move on its own without propulsion or what have you.
But has anybody else thought about this?
Maybe you're sitting too close to it.
Maybe you're sitting too close.
Maybe there ought to be a federal rule that limits how close a child can be to a television in case it does fall.
Only the floor would be damaged, and not the kid.
So falling TVs, and now junk food, computers, and laziness.
Killing off childhood.
Amy in Pittsburgh, it's great you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Ras, how are you?
Couldn't be better.
Thank you.
Good.
Hey, I was just kind of I wanted to see what you thought about this.
Um the lives of the Secret Service guarding the president.
How they might feel about this movie out there, kind of fostering the death of the man that they're supposed to be guarding.
You know, it's an interesting question.
There have been countless television shows and movies where presidents have been targeted or assassinated, but they've always been fictional.
This one actually assassinates a living current serving in office president.
Now I don't know what the secret sir, I I'm I'm not uh knowledgeable enough to know what they can do about something along these lines in a foreign country.
Uh when the movie comes to the United States, I that's a gr that's a great question, because it's a crime to run around and do this.
It's a crime to threaten it.
Uh and if you do, I mean, when Clinton was president, if he walked by you and you and your husband booed you in Chicago, the Secret Service got sent after you.
Yeah.
Well, I just know as a wife, and you know, these guys have kids.
They have families.
I mean, it's just it's just offensive to the women.
I it ought to be offensive to uh to everybody.
It's not offense, it's not only a show, they are well, it's not offensive to the women on the view.
Uh uh it's uh not offensive to Rosie.
I don't know if it's offensive to Barbara, I don't know if it's offensive to the others, but uh I it it it it has received slightly I mean no outrage at all from people who are preoccupied with death.
They don't like any we shouldn't kill terrorists, we shouldn't torture them.
It's okay to say it's it's these people are literally sick.
Uh it's it's uh the idea produce in this movie.
What is the point?
It's not a study in American culture.

Uh I'm perplexed uh as to where all the outrage is to the Islamo fascist comments when I don't see any outrage to the hijacking of a religion.
Can you uh uh shed some light on where he's seeing that?
Maybe he's getting uh talking points.
That is an excellent question.
And it's typical of liberals.
Here we have the if if fine gold is to be believed that uh that uh saying Islamo fascism aligns an entire religion when it doesn't, why is he not upset at those who are uh stealing the religion, who are corrupting it and making it look bad for everybody who practices?
Where is that concern?
Yes.
He's only concerned about Americans calling people name he doesn't care about really bad things in the but this name-calling stuff we've got to stop that.
