Time Text
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
I'm just sitting here.
I'm I'm going through this uh interview, May 30th of this year, uh, with Mahmoud Ahmadinijad with Dershpiegel.
Big time German magazine, greetings, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
And a limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
I'm in a quandary here, folks.
You know, I have a lot of good stuff in the stack here, like like this.
I mean, there's some there's some pretty good lifestyle stuff here today.
Plus, I want to update you on the so-called White House cave in to the McCain dissidents, which is the exact opposite of what's happening.
And I am going to get to that.
I'm going to try to get to this other stuff as uh as quickly as I can too, but this Hugo Chavez speech this morning and the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speech last night.
You know how often say we do the job the mainstream media used to do?
I don't know how long ago that was.
But uh you you need to know about this man.
You need to know about Ahmadinejad, especially now when he is being misreported upon, mischaracterized, and raised to some lofty co-equal status uh with President Bush, praised as a man who wants peace.
Uh uh it's all a myth.
It's all a lie.
It is just journalistic malpractice.
So I want to spend some time with some of the things Ahmadinejad has actually said around the world.
In fact, uh just give you an example here.
This is uh excerpts from an interview with Ahmadinejad aired on the Iranian news channel on August 2nd of this year.
Ach Madinijad, I hereby declare that this sinister regime, Israel is the banner of Satan.
It is the banner of the great Satan.
All it does is to all it does is to implement the orders of the criminal America and England.
Death to Israel.
With placards in their hands and clenched fists, people should shout death to Israel.
Uh no mention of this in any of the reporting on Ahmadinejad lay.
And he he didn't say those words, but he clearly identified Israel using other words, the Palestinians using other words, uh, called us and the Israelis occupiers.
Uh I mean he is who he is, but you're not being told by the drive-by media who he is.
And I intend to give you a little bit of flavor on the guy, even more so than we have over the course of the recent months.
But try this.
A teenage laborer in Surrey, England, was asked to find another job after his hunky physique distracted pupils at an all-girls' school.
Joe Norman, 18, who had been hired for the summer to help build an extension, began receiving wolf whistles from girls at Holy Cross Scrual in New Maldon, Surrey, according to the Sun.
Norman said he didn't do anything to distract the girls, even kept his shirt on.
However, the headmaster of the school asked him to leave.
It was quite intimidating.
This is sexual harassment.
It is, it's sexual harassment.
Guy shows up, it's a construction workers, the girls inside the school go bonkers, they're not studying, they're wolf whistling, and the guy's got to go find another job, gets can.
They punish the victim here.
He got canned.
Had to go find another job.
And there's a little interesting stuff like that.
Floating ocean windmills, designed to generate more power.
Hope to be able to get to that.
Let's go to a couple sound bites first before I give you some of the excerpts that Dur Spiegel interview, by the way, prints to eight pages.
And I'm I'm not gonna go through all eight.
Doesn't take that to give you the flavor.
Barbara Boxer with John Gibson last night on the Fox News channel.
And uh and Gibson says, you know, when you have somebody like Ach Madinejad demanding that you and me, we all bow and surrender.
How exactly do we deal with him?
That's ridiculous, and it's kind of a joke.
I think the world is building this guy up too much.
I was at the UN yesterday, I was actually there this morning, and one of the Brits said, Well, President Bush bump into uh the leader of Iran.
That would be the clash of the titans, and I thought, please, why are we building this man up?
The sad truth is, and this is the bad news, the people of Iran on this particular issue back him by huge percentages.
They do not.
They don't have any choice.
He was installed by the mullahs.
It's a sham election, just like a Saddam election was a sham election.
They have no choice but then to support him.
There are dissidents all over the place in Iran.
But I want to go back to what she said.
It's ridiculous kind of joke.
I think the world is building this guy up too much.
Really?
Uh Madam Senator.
Mrs. Boxer, who would you have in mind when you make that accusation?
Would you have in mind the drive-by media in this country?
Would you have in mind members of your own party or your own support base on the Kook blogosphere?
Would you have in mind the United Nations itself?
Building this man up.
Why are we building him up?
That's not the question.
It only appears he's being built up.
The real problem is that you and members of your party have done your best for five years to destroy the presidency of this country.
You have tried to destroy the image and the aura and the power of George W. Bush and the office of the presidency with your incessant criticisms and belittling and your hand wringing sorrow over the fact that we've lost our image in the world.
And I, folks, I'm going to make you a prediction.
We haven't said, I don't know that we'll ever know this, you're just gonna have to trust me.
But so far we haven't seen anybody come out and express outrage over what Ahmadinejad said last night or what Hugo Chavez said today.
I will guarantee you, in the Senate and uh in certain corridors of the House where Democrats gather behind closed doors.
I can just see John Kerry talking to Durbin and others right now.
And I I know what Kerry is saying.
See?
C after Chavez's speech.
We knew this was gonna happen.
We've lost our prestige around the world.
Bush has made has just as totally destroyed our reputation.
Dick, we need to get back in power, rebuild our image with our allies here and with the world.
Uh these these guys are mocking us, they're making fun of us, but they're really making fun of Bush.
We knew this is gonna happen.
They're gonna blame Bush for this.
And that's why they won't come out and denounce Ahmadinejad.
If anything, they'll come out and denounce Bush if they say anything.
Make no mistake, they are not cognizant, aware uh of any of their own culpability in this, but believe me, folks, they set the table.
They allowed this to happen.
They gave Ahmadinejad and Chavez the confidence to come over here and bash President Bush and to bash the United States of America.
They have been doing the same thing.
They were the leaders.
They signaled the green light.
They said the Democrats in this country and the media have made it plain to people like Chavez and Ahmadinejad that they will not be condemned.
How can they be?
How could Chavez or Ahmadinejad be condemned by the Democrats?
They're basically saying the same thing.
One more boxer bite.
John Gibson, the very people you say that uh support President Ahmadinejad and his quest for peaceful nuclear power, they don't believe that he plans to build a bomb.
They may not be as informed as we are about what his plans are.
If he's fooling his own people, shouldn't we take him at his word when he makes these statements that he wants to wipe Israel off the map or he wants us to bow and surrender?
A lot of people say that about America.
I really think you're underestimating the people of Iran.
You know, they have the internet, they're smart, they know what we know.
Unfortunately for us, having a nuclear weapon has now become a point of pride with too many nations in the world.
It is not good.
Unbelievable.
It's our fault for having a nuke in this point in time.
This and it it's understandable that these nations uh have uh look at getting their own as a point of pride.
Uh a lot of people say that about America.
The American people aren't informed.
A lot of people say that about America, but I think the people of Iran knows what know what's going on.
She has no clue.
She really has no clue.
It's embarrassing.
And neither do most of the people on her side of the aisle.
And it can be explained very simply.
She just doesn't see this guy as a threat.
She sees him as just sort of a pipsqueak kook.
And why are we building him up so much?
See him as a threat.
Remember, folks, to these people.
The threat is George W. Bush.
Back right back.
Jonathan Alter on PMSNBC.
Ah, don't pay any attention to Chavez.
He's just a blowhard?
Not offended at all, laughing about it, thinks it was funny.
Greetings, welcome back, and you're nice to be with us on the EIB network here.
For those of you uh you know that missed the first hour, I uh made a point of saying that the drive-by media has yet to report the um the main element of Mahmud Ahmadinejad's speech last night.
I quoted it to you.
Uh it is his prayer from the podium of the United Nations for the quick appearance of the twelfth Imam.
Here is the actual soundbite.
Today's world.
More than ever before.
Longs for justice on the hoy sale and righteous people with love for all humanity.
Above all, longs for the righteous human being and the real savior.
who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet.
O Almighty God, all All men and women are your creatures.
And you have ordained their guidance and salvation.
To chut and sonic.
and we owe you to the human being promised to all by you.
And make us among his followers.
And among those who strive for his return.
And his cause.
So that's the prayer.
Oh, yeah.
Applause went on and on.
That's the prayer for the return of the twelfth Imam.
Uh, as offered by Mahmood Ahmad Dinizjad.
Just a couple of excerpts here from the Der Spiegel interview, May 30th, 2006.
They did the interview on the eve of uh uh Ahmadinijad's appearance in Germany for the World Cup.
And the interview starts out, aren't you a little uh crazy for coming here?
I mean, you've suggested a Holocaust didn't happen and that Israelis uh need to be wiped off the map, but you understand whether some people outraged that you're coming here, Der Spiegel says denying the Holocaust is punishable in Germany.
Are you indifferent when confronted with so much outrage?
Ahmadinijad, I know that Der Spiegel is a respected magazine, but I don't know whether it's possible for you to publish the truth about the Holocaust.
Are you permitted to write everything about it?
De Spiegel, of course we are.
Well then we've stirred up a very concrete discussion.
We're posing two very clear questions.
The first is, did the Holocaust actually take place?
You say it did.
So the second question is, whose fault was it?
The answer to that has to be found in Europe and not in Palestine.
It's perfectly clear if the Holocaust took place in Europe, one has to find the answer to it in Europe.
On the other hand, if the Holocaust didn't take place, then why did this regime of occupation?
You mean the state of Israel?
Ahmadinijad.
Why did it come about?
Why do the European countries commit themselves to defending this regime?
Permit me to make one more point.
We are of the common opinion that if an historical occurrence conforms to the truth, this truth will be revealed all the more clearly if there's more research into it and more discussion about it.
Der Spiegel, that's long since happened in Germany.
Ahmadinijad, well, we don't we don't want to confirm or deny the Holocaust.
We oppose every type of crime, but we we want to know whether this crime actually took place or not.
If it did, then those who bear the responsibility for it have to be punished and not the Palestinians.
Why isn't r research into a deed that occurred sixty years ago permitted?
After all, other historical occurrences, some of which lie several thousand years in the past are open to research, and even the government supports this.
Spiegel.
Mr. President, with all due respect, the Holocaust occurred.
There were concentration camps, dossiers on the extermination of the Jews.
It's been a great deal of research, and there is neither the slightest doubt about the Holocaust nor about the fact we greatly regret this that the Germans are responsible for it.
If we may now add one remark, the fate of the Palestinians is an entirely different issue, and this brings us to the present.
Ahmad Dinizad.
No, no, no, no.
The roots of the Palestinian conflict must be sought in history.
The Holocaust and Palestine are directly connected with one another.
And if the Holocaust actually occurred, then you should permit impartial groups in the whole world to research it.
Why do you restrict the research to a certain group?
Of course, I don't mean you, but rather the European governments.
Spiegel, you still saying it's a myth?
Ahmadinijad, I will only accept something is true if I'm actually convinced of it.
Even though no Western scholars harbor any doubt about it, but there are two opinions on this in Europe, he said.
One group of scholars are persons, most of them politically motivated to say the Holocaust occurred.
Then there's the group of scholars who represent the opposite position and have therefore been imprisoned for the most part.
Hence, an impartial group is to come together to investigate and to render an opinion on this very important subject.
Well, we are conducting this historical debate with you in a very timely purpose.
Are you questioning Israel's right to exist?
Look here.
My views are quite clear.
We're saying if the Holocaust occurred, then Europe must draw the consequences, and that it is not Palestine that should pay a price for it.
If it did occur, then the Jews have to go back to where they came from.
I believe the German people today are also prisoners of the Holocaust.
Sixty million people died in the Second World War.
Uh World War II was a gigantic crime.
We condemn it all.
We're against bloodshed, regardless of whether a crime was committed against a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew.
But the question is, why among these sixty million victims are only the Jews the center of attention?
Spiegel, that's just not the case.
Ahmadinajad.
No, I have a question for you.
What kind of a role did today's youth play in World War II?
Spiegel.
None.
Ahmadinejad.
Well, why should they have feelings of guilt toward the Zionists?
Anyway, it goes uh it goes on and on and on with uh Ahmadineijad uh continuing to maintain that the Holocaust did not occur.
Uh that the Jews need to be moved out.
Uh, and if they're not moved out, he may take matters into his own hands.
Uh these are the kinds of things that uh uh just are not being reported about this guy.
Uh Spiegel also asked him about the letter that he sent to President Bush.
Spiegel, this letter to the American president includes a passage about September eleventh, two thousand one.
Here's your quote.
How could such an operation be planned and implemented without the coordination with secret and security services or without the far-reaching infiltration of these services?
Unquote.
Your statements always include so many innuendos.
What's that supposed to mean?
The CIA help Mohammed Atta and the other terrorists conduct their attacks.
Ahmadinejad.
No, no, no, no.
That's not what I meant.
We think that they should just say who is to blame.
They should not use September eleventh as an excuse to launch a military attack against the Middle East.
They should take those who are responsible for the attacks to court.
We're not opposed to that.
We condemn the attacks.
We condemn any attacks against innocent people.
Just lying through his teeth.
Um the letter was more accusatory than uh than the quote that they excerted.
But the bottom line is what does this all sound like to you?
I mean, it sounds like Democrat Party talking.
Actually, not not quite that, but you know, this rising tide of conspiratorial lunacy that is becoming more and more mainstream that the administration and the government blew up the World Trade Center, and that's what Mahmood Ahmadinejad applied, uh implied in his uh in his letter.
I d I'm sorry I spent so much time on this, but I wanted you to to have some kind of an idea who this guy is.
And uh Brian Williams of NBC, so proud of his interview with him last night as you're running it again on MSNBC this afternoon at four o'clock.
In its entirety, they just they're just thrilled with it.
And it was just filled with uh with uh uh you know d a wholly different attitude of respect toward Ahmadinejad than his last interview with President Bush down in New Orleans.
Anyway, uh in Las Vegas.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Uh good morning, Raj.
Hi.
Um before I make my statement, I'd like to preface it by saying that you're the only human being in this world who has any kind of political influence on me.
And multitude of my family members.
As a matter of fact, so much so that about three years ago I began to offer my family members a crisp hundred dollar bill, if they would just listen to you for three months.
And I must tell you that I've paid out a lot of hundred dollar bills, and I've had number, many numerous converts, including my son and my daughter.
Now, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you.
Now, well, thank you.
That's that's very kind.
I'm sorry it cost you money, but I th that that's uh uh that's profound.
I I'm really appreciative of your effort there, sir, and your expense.
Well worth investments.
Let me ask you something.
Are you a subscriber to my website?
Do you have a computer and all that?
Yes, matter of fact, we have a computer.
However, we decided that we're going to terminate this left wing AOL and go with a new uh uh internet, which we're going to install today.
All right, but are you a subscriber to Rush Limbaugh.com?
Uh no, I'm sorry we're not.
Well, allow me To repay in a small way the amount of money you paid your family members to get their heads right.
Uh when we finish our call, don't hang up.
Uh a nice man will come on the phone and we'll make you a complimentary subscriber for one year, we'll throw in an issue of or s of the subscription actually for a year to my newsletter as well, a limball letter, and give you some items from the EIB store.
I've got a break here coming up, A.B., can you hang on and we'll continue the conversation after that?
Sure bet.
Okay.
We'll try to get the information from you during this break.
Uh so when you get rid of the left wing AOL and get your new internet connection, you'll become an automatic well, you'll have to you'll have to log on, but uh you'll become a complimentary uh member at Rush Limbaugh.com and your family uh will love that as much as the program.
As will you be right back with you.
Don't go away.
And we go back to the phones.
AB in Las Vegas.
Thank you again.
And now we're back.
Thank you, Rush.
Uh uh, I'd like to make a few points.
First is let us assume a world scenario, which the left wing media never would like to acknowledge.
Let us say that John Kerry and the Democrats had their wish, and Saddam Hussein remained in power today.
Do you think for a moment that Saddam Hussein would sit back and allow his number one arch enemy Iran to procure develop nuclear weapons without him doing so?
No.
He would make sure that he was first in line to get it, and he would make sure that all these terrorist groups, as many as they wanted, will could get their hands on it, and his scud missiles would be filled and fit it with nuclear weapons aimed at Israel.
So the the Well, I you know, he might also uh he might all you know, he spent eight years at war with uh with uh the Iranians back in the eighties, that's when he was our ally.
We made the judgment that the those two would be better if Saddam prevailed.
Sort of a Hobson's choice that we had there.
But I don't think he just sit by and and and race Iran to get nukes first, he'd do what he had to to stop them from getting them as well.
Not only would he try to stop them, he would develop his own.
And no one seems to mention that a week prior.
See, Saddam Hussein was fooled.
He was guaranteed by the Russians and by the French that the U.S. would never attack him.
Now he got fooled when he saw that that was not the case.
He moved his nuclear weapons, mass destruction, whatever weapons he could, by truckloads into Syria.
They are right now in Syria.
Yes, there's a uh a f a former uh Iraqi general who's made that claim, General George Sutter, I think is his name.
I forget his first name.
Well, now imagine Saddam in today's world.
If the Democrats had their way, if this president Bush never went ahead and made this move, not only would be concerned about Iran, we would be so concerned about Saddam.
The only difference Wait a minute.
No, they would they wouldn't they they I don't think that they would even be remembered they're one of their heroes is Joseph Wilson, and Joseph Wilson went to Niger and said that Saddam never tried to get uh uh yellow cake uranium.
He was wrong about it, by the way.
The Brit's intelligence units stand by what their their claims were, but look at who they choose to believe.
You know, th they're they'll they're ostriches, they'll put their head in the sand and see only what they want to see and ignore uh reality and deny it.
Uh I I and frankly, I if you listen to what some Democrats have said, Madeline Albright, uh you know it's it sort of destabilized the world here when the Soviet Unions went south because uh that left us as the only superpower, and that just not right.
So I don't know that we don't have any confidence they would have done anything to stop it.
Well, the point is just visualize for the American people right now today, today, this month of September, Saddam Hussein in power, and he would surely 100% would have nuclear weapons.
Now my second statement to you is ninety percent of the people of Iran hate having adverse dislike for This for this government.
What you see Iranian people going in the streets and and and rioting for them are all paid.
They're mandated, demanded.
If they don't go out and demonstrate in favor of the government, they will be abused, they will be punished, they will be imprisoned.
They are forced to go out and to do that.
But the word between you and I right now, and I'm going to share with you nationally.
There's a great movement within the people of Iran for a revolution.
Are you from there?
Yes, I am.
I am a mixed uh Persian and Greek.
But however, our inside information says there's a major movement that is developing.
Is it really ninety percent?
I knew it was a large movement, but I hadn't heard it was that large.
Ninety percent of the people of Iran have a disdain attitude toward this government.
I know the answer to the next question, A.B., but tell me this.
What's the status of the Iranian economy?
It's amazing.
The Iranian people, in order to live a simple life, have to have two to three jobs a day.
The man who works in the government office goes home, takes his car, and becomes a taxi cab driver in order to make extra money simply to buy food.
And the fact there was a revolution, a revolt started in Iran, they shut it down quickly when the word got out that this government was uh supporting the Hezbollah with hundreds of millions of dollars.
And while their own people are starving, the people are in dire situation.
Now these mullahs are no different than the previous regime.
They took over all the Mercedes and live like kings, they have accounts in Switzerland, in in the Cayman Islands, and other areas.
So don't be surprised that very shortly soon there will be an internal revolution.
And it will happen the same way that the Shaw was so shocked and surprised when it happened.
It came out of nowhere.
And remember, Homeini was the agent of the British, the French, and the U.S. government.
He was living in France being supported by the French government.
Right.
And when he came to power, when Jimmy Carter decided to oust the Shah and bring him into power, it was at that moment that he turned, as the French normally do today.
Well, of course, you know, I I remember all that.
Jimmy Jimmy Carter's in the news urging all Americans abroad to vote.
He just can't keep himself out of the news.
I'm I'm uh assuming he does not mean the military when he uh mentions that the Democrats try to dis uh discount uh military absentee ballots in the Florida recount in two thousand.
Uh uh Jimmy Jimmy Carter's hands and uh so dirty on all of this, for him to run around preaching what we need to do is an insult to anybody that's informed on this.
I hope you're right about this internal revolution business.
I don't I I've uh I've read a lot about the discord, the discontent of the Iranian population for so many years.
I know that they're trying to stamp it down, they've cut out all the free press, they're putting people uh who are opposition media in uh in jail after shutting them down.
Um they're gonna need help in in such an uprising.
I don't know where it's uh where it's going to come from.
Uh well, I pray that you're right.
Uh and it would be such a wonderful surprise to see it take place.
The question is, uh, with the power that the mullahs have, will they be able to put it down with uh success or would it succeed?
We'll keep a sharp eye for it, but I'm glad you called A. B, and thanks uh thanks so much uh for paying your family members to listen to the program for six months, hundred bucks each, and now three months each, sorry, three months, I was six weeks is what it normally takes for people to become converts.
Actually, they become addicted one day, and usually they six weeks to understand the full scope of what can happen on this program.
Three months is a bonus.
Uh appreciate the phone call.
I want to go back, uh, ladies and gentlemen, play the Hugo Chavez sound bites from his speech today at the United Nations.
I got one more to add to it.
And we've got a story from uh CBSAP about his speech, and uh they are they are d talking about how popular He is becoming and how this speech really played well at the United Nations for a host of reasons.
Here are three excerpts of Hugo Chavez this morning, just after eleven o'clock at the United Nations.
First one up.
I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States.
Because their threat is in their own house.
The devil is right at home.
The devil, the devil himself is right in the house.
And the devil came here yesterday.
Yesterday, the devil came here.
Right here.
Right here.
Welly a sufre today.
And it smells of sulfur still today.
This table that I am now standing in front of.
Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen.
from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, Came here.
Talking as if he owned the world.
Truly, as the owner of the world.
Listen to the the the translator even sounds excited.
Here's the second bite.
I think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's statement made by the President of the United States.
As the spokesman of imperialism, he He came to share his nostrums.
Preserved current patent domination expensive and pillage of the peoples of the world.
And Alfred Hitchcock movie.
Could use it as a scenario.
I would even here is, and I'm just telling you that the Democrats are sitting around behind closed doors, rubbing their hands with glee.
They're not gonna condemn this.
They're gonna say, see, see, Bush has ruined our reputation in the world.
Bush has caused this.
Bush has gone out, and he's destroyed our reputation, our image.
They don't they will not admit that they're the ones responsible for this.
They set the table.
They wrote the directions, they put the roadmap together.
They are saying essentially the same thing Chavez is saying.
Words are different, but the enemy is Bush.
You can't tell the difference listening to Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinijjad or the Democrats as to who the enemy of the world is to all three of them.
It is George W. Bush.
Here is the uh last bite we have with the one good idea that Chavez had.
We will see this new era and for our children and our grandchildren a world of peace based on the fundamental principles of the United Nations, but the renewed, a renewed United Nations.
And maybe we have to change location.
Maybe we have to put the United Nations somewhere else, maybe a city of the South.
You know that my personal doctor had to stay in the plane.
The chief of security had to be left in a locked plane.
Neither of these gentlemen was allowed.
Arrive and attend the UN meeting.
This is another abuse and another abuse of power on the part of the devil.
It smells of sulfur here, but God is with us, and I embrace you all.
God bless us all.
Good day to you.
Listen to that.
And it went on and on and on and on and on.
Now, CBS AP story.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took his verbal battle with the United States to the floor of the General Assembly, calling President Bush the devil.
Then they quote him, the leftist leader who has joined Iran in opposing U.S. influence accused Washington of domination, exploitation, and pillage of peoples of the world.
Then this.
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is rapidly becoming the new Fidel Castro, but with petrodollars.
At the U.N., said CBS News foreign affairs analyst Pamela Falk, and as a candidate for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council in October, his anti-Bush comments are making him increasingly popular with member states in his campaign for that position.
He's the next Castro, and they love Castro.
They idolize Castro.
And you know why the left likes Castro?
It may it it it people try to what what is it?
His country is literally falling apart.
I've got a story from yesterday's stack.
Literally, the infrastructure of Cuba is falling apart.
Buildings are stumbling.
They have had nothing done to them, renovations-wise, in decades.
They love Castro, though.
And it's not his health care.
I'm going to tell you exactly what it is.
The left loves and envies his power.
His view of his own citizens is theirs.
Incompetent, incapable, victims.
Dependent.
They are they need uh uh hand holding throughout life, and if any of them rise up, they will be put down.
You don't question the smartest people in the world, elite liberals.
They envy his power.
Now they envy Chavez because he's the same maniac with the same power, but he's got oil.
Quick break.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Hey, folks, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God.
Do you remember on September 11th, the evening of September 11th, the President Bush addressed the nation for about 20 minutes?
The next day the Democrats were howling, claiming that it was a political speech, and they didn't get a chance to respond.
Well, they did today.
Ahmadinejad, actually last night and today, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez constitute the Democrat response.
In fact, you know, the campaign finance law of Senator McCain requires that every commercial end up with a line, this ad approved by me, paid for by X. These two speeches did not contain that, and they should have.
The Ahmadinejad speech and a Chavez speech were in violation of U.S. federal campaign laws.
Obviously, those speeches were commercials, lengthy ones for the Democrat Party, but they were not so identified.
I'd bring them up on charges before the Federal Election Commission.
John Bolton has replied, ladies and gentlemen.
He said we're not going to address that kind of comic strip approach to international affairs during a televised press conference.
Tim in Monroe, Michigan.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Well, Megadettoes, what an honor to speak with you, Mr. Limbaugh.
Thank you, sir.
Listen, I just wanted to weigh in real quick.
You're covering the news of the day like you should, and uh, and you know, you're the only one that I can really trust to get the full scoop on this.
But you know, despite Achmedinejad, despite Chavez, despite the coup in Thailand, despite the gloom and doom from the libs, you know, I'm looking at the markets today, and they're just humming.
So I'm just happening to think that that capitalism and the free market system, you know, is gonna prevail on this whole thing.
Let me tell you what, uh I you know you're right.
I'm looking at the figures, uh, even as you speak.
The Dow is up uh 71 points, almost 72, 11612 right now, close to the record of 11,750.
The NASDAQ is way up as well.
Uh, one of the one of the uh factors has to do with the plummeting oil price.
It's now just barely over $60 a barrel.
And in Jackson, Missouri, a suburb of where I grew up in Cape Girardeau.
We jokingly call it a suburb.
It's about eight miles away.
Cape Girardo's 25,000 people, Jackson.
I forget what it is.
Eight, ten thousand, if that much.
Uh gasoline prices there in Perryville, Missouri, which is 30 miles up the road on um, maybe 40 on I-55, below two bucks a gallon.
Dollar ninety-six in uh in Southeast Missouri, where I grew up.
Uh, and and of course, the uh this this is just confounding the Democrats.
Their post-Labor Day scenario is in shreds, totally falling apart, stock market going crazy, uh, experts coming out saying there was no housing bubble.
The housing market is behaving normally.
It goes in its cycles and ebbs and flows.
Uh so all of the conventional wisdom that the Democrats have used, the economy sucks, Rumsfeld sucks, rice sucks, Bush sucks, Bolton sucks, Cheney sucks, robes sucks, and all this.
Those guys are still in office.
Joe Wilson let them down, Richard Armitage let them down, oil price is plummeting, gasoline price is plummeting, and their buddies Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinijad remind Americans more of John Kerry and Harry Reed than they do of even themselves.
Back in just a second.
All right, we're gonna move on to other things as the next busy broadcast hour commences.
I'm your highly trained broadcast specialist, Rush Limbaugh, demonstrating to anyone and everyone how it is done.
