Time Text
Yes, and we're back.
Broadcast excellence.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I am your host, Rush Limbaugh, highly trained broadcast specialist with countless hours and years broadcast experience showing the rest how it's done from the EIB Southern Command.
Our phone number, if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
It's the email address rush at EIB net.com.
Well, I just got the uh the special edition October issue of the Limbaugh Letter Hot Off the Press as the editor and publisher, I get the first copy.
Uh if you're subscriber, uh yours is in the mail.
And it's uh 28 pages.
We do this now and then expand the issue.
Uh we have some advertising support in it, but that is a great issue.
Issue has an interview with uh Lynn Swan, a candidate for governor in uh in Pennsylvania.
By the way, you may have seen this.
There's a Kansas church group that plans on protesting at the funeral for the five uh slain Amish girls in uh Pennsylvania.
And I saw that, and I said, what is the Kansas church group going to protest the funeral for?
So I uh I went uh dug deep out there uh trying to find out, find uh learned that the fast Eddie Rendell, the uh the governor of Pennsylvania at some point, insulted the church group in Kansas.
I don't know.
Do you know what he said or when?
Do you know when it was?
I have no clue what he said or when, but the Kansas church group is gonna go there and uh and protest at the I don't think they're gonna protest the funeral.
I think they're gonna protest at the are they protesting the funeral?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're gonna protest uh at the uh funeral to protest Fast Eddie Rendell.
Fast Eddy, by the way, uh was asked about beefing up uh scrual security.
Fast Eddie said, Well, these uh random acts of violence like this, somebody wants to take their own life or get killed in the process of committing something like this, he can't stop them.
And you could put 50 secret service agents around the president if somebody really wanted to take the president out, willing to die to do it, and nothing you could do to stop.
Did you notice that Fast Eddie did not say, hey, if you wanted to take out the governor of Pennsylvania, uh you could put 50 Pennsylvania state troopers around me, and if somebody wanted to take me out uh and was willing to die in the process, they could probably get away with it, did not use himself in the exam.
Anyway, the uh October issue of the Limbaugh Letter features me as Uncle Sam on the cover, the fear America issue.
And in addition to the uh to the Lynn Swan piece, a couple of great commentaries essays in here, and a this is this is so folks, this is gonna come in so handy for you.
Uh you won't be able to see this on the Ditto Cam.
I'm holding it up.
But what this is is a graphic of the Congress from Hell.
All of the committees being chaired by the Democrats who will ascend to the chairmanship.
Nancy Pelosi as the speaker.
John Mertha as the majority leader, although that opponent of his, Diana uh Eerie, uh, in Pennsylvania, has pulled within 10 points of Mertha.
It's still a formidable lead that Mertha has, but the momentum uh is with her.
Then you've got uh Charlie Wrangell on two committees, the Ways and Means Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Uh you've got uh Henry Nostralitis Waxman, Waxman on Government Reform, Barney Frank on Financial Services, it's all there.
Uh uh some great uh funny quotes, uh, who said it, the top ten Bush scares, the top ten uh global warning scares, the top ten medical scares, the top ten scare studies, the top ten scarcity scares.
This is remember it's the fear issue.
This is how Democrats are trying to make everybody scared to death of being alive in the United States today because of Republicans, who even the top ten rush scares, the uh top ten efforts by drive-by media to scare people about me.
Uh Time magazine is Rush Limbaugh Good for America.
And then the uh the little comedy piece at the end, Witches Brew.
Uh uh all of these Democrats stirring up this green pot of goo that equals impeachment.
So uh it's out.
It will be uh in your mailbox uh very soon, the October issue of the Limbaugh Letter.
Now, mentioned earlier in the program that we're nearing the magical 300 million mark in the American population.
Now, it was just 39 years ago, ladies and gentlemen, that the population of America totaled 200 million.
But we're getting close to 300 million.
It'll happen sometime this month, according to the Census Bureau.
There are only two countries with the with the higher headcounts, the ChICOMs, and you know, they're they're over a billion.
I mean, they could stand to lose eight or eight hundred or so in a war wouldn't matter to them.
Um India.
India uh has a huge population as well.
Uh all this got me to thinking 300 million, where would we be if the liberals weren't aborting themselves and their future generations?
I don't know what a million and a half since 1973 figure most of those are Democrats, liberals.
73 well, it's a sizable 28, 30 million people, maybe more.
Um that many fewer liberals.
So it's it's you know, it's sort of a, gee, I'm not sure I'm opposed to this kind of thing.
F stop thinking.
I mean, if there's going to be abortion, uh, why not liberals?
Uh anyway, with our population uh growing.
The Center for Environment and Population.
And these clowns, I think all they've done is gone out and just re-rehashed uh Paul Ehrlich's population bomb.
The Center for Environment, which has been totally discredited.
They released a new report echoing all these unhappy factoids we've been hearing from the left for years.
For example, we Americans use three times more water than the world average.
So we're probably cleaner.
And if you travel internationally, you'll find out exactly what I'm talking about.
Over half of the wetlands in America have been lost due to development and agriculture.
Oh, we're back to this.
The wetlands issue.
You property rights owners, uh property owners and property rights advocates in the West, I'm sure could uh give us evidence of what BS this is, how much property have you had taken away from you in terms of your freedom to use it because it's been claimed to be a wetland simply because after it rained, there was some standing water a couple of places on your property.
They also say that half of the continental United States cannot support its original vegetation.
That is we there is more forested land in America today, including all these forest fires, than there was at the time of the founding.
Can't support but for crying out loud, original vegetation.
So what?
Even if it were true, so what?
We're all still breathing.
What's the purpose of vegetation?
Photosynthesis.
So that uh uh carbon monoxide is uh is exchanged into oxygen, so we can all breathe.
And you know, you could you can get by with a five square foot plot of grass in your front yard to accomplish all the photosynthesis you need without a without even a tree being in the neighborhood.
About 85% of the animals and plants on the endangered or threatened list are there because we wrecked their natural habitat.
No, eighty-five percent of the animals and plants on the endangered or threatened list are there because the environmentalist wackos working with uh liberals in government bureaucracies have simply claimed that they are endangered or threatened to deprive private property owners of developing their own land, i.e., farmers and a kangaroo rat in Bakersfield, California, the snail darter, ants, you name it.
Some of the absolute dregs of the animal world are on this list purely and simply to deny capitalism from taking place.
And here's this one's this one is the this has been around ever since I've been paying attention to things.
We consume Nearly a quarter of the world's energy, though we're only five percent of the world's population.
Uh, what do we do with that energy?
Even if you accept this, and I don't not sure that I do, but even let's just accept it for the heck of it.
What do we do with that uh energy?
Do we not use it to produce?
Do we not use it to create and invent so that when there is a natural disaster from Iran to uh the tsunami or earthquake somewhere, the first nation on the scene to help clean up and to provide food is the United States because we have the energy and the ability, the technical know-how and the advanced civilization to get there and do it.
Oh.
Uh also this report says that you people are polluters.
You produce a lot of garbage, five pounds a day.
Americans produce five pounds a day of garbage, which is five times more than unselfish people in developing countries produce.
This is just absolute garbage.
Life in many of these third world countries is garbage.
The homes and the villages they live in are absolute garbage because they don't have the technical know-how to clean up their messes.
This is the Anyway, you I mean, you get the drift here.
Once again, America and capitalism are the evil of the modern existence of humanity.
And now, with 300 million of us, well, there's going to be even more garbage.
And we're going to be sucking even more of the world's resources, selfishly gobbling them up while causing the real people of the world to live lives of squalor.
Let me remind all of you, my fellow water abusing species killing, gas guzzling.
By the way, have you seen this?
Sales of SUVs and pickup trucks are picking up again with the falling gas price.
Yes.
Yes, mommy.
Way to go, America.
I'm proud of you.
We Americans have brought more freedom and prosperity and cleanliness to the world than any other nation in history.
So if we're producing five pounds of garbage, let's make it ten, take this stupid report from the Center for Environment and Population, call it garbage, and throw it on the land heap and turn it into something nice like a golf course.
That's what you do with landfill.
You dredge something, you turn it into a golf course, talk about the photosynthesis on a golf course, talk about the native vegetation on a golf course, talk about all these things that happen.
Meanwhile, as to this number 300 million.
What we ought to do is have a lottery.
Need to have, well, not a lottery, not really a lottery.
We just, you know, when when McDonald's gives uh some prize to the person that buys the one billionth quarter pounder.
We ought to have something, put a counter down there on the on the border, and whoever the 300th million American is, by virtue of crossing the border illegally, gets automatic free citizenship for life for himself or herself, and every kid he produces or has produced for the rest of his life.
Free social security, free Medicare, free health care, free car, free house, free beach house, uh, you know, a thousand hours a year at net jets.
Let's just really celebrate what it is to be an American.
Oh, and also give the guy five million or five five pounds of garbage as he crosses the border so that he can join America in polluting the country.
From the where have we heard this before department?
Unless Social Security and Medicare are revamped, the massive burden from retiring baby boomers will place major strains on the nation's budget and the economy, said the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke today.
Reform of our unsustainable entitlement program should be a priority, he said in prepared remarks to the economics club of Washington.
The imperative to undertake reform earlier rather than later is great.
Well, we did.
We tried this.
The president tried this shortly after he began his second term.
But there were some obstructionists out there who once again played the fear card on Medicare and Social Security recipients, i.e., America's seasoned citizens, and told them that Bush wanted to steal their money and give it to Wall Street investors.
Every effort that has been made to reform these programs is met with strict obstruction by the Democrats.
This is going to happen if nothing is done.
There is no question that a rising tax rate of unbearable uh heights will descend upon uh workers, employees, who are just now starting out in the in the workforce.
And you know who these people are.
They have grown up and they have seen all this prosperity on Beverly Hills 90210.
And they think that when they get out of college, they should have the 400,000 hell, $500,000 house, three cars in the garage, bank account 401k.
That's how you start.
And they get mad when they learn that that's not the case.
When they find out that they are never ever going to assume that kind of prosperity because their tax rate's gonna be seventy percent.
They will just stop working and say, you know what?
I want my social security now.
That's how I'll live.
And pretty soon nobody's gonna be around to pay it.
If something isn't done, efforts have been made.
Democrats stand in the way.
They stand in the way of victory in the war in Iraq.
They stand in the way of victory in the war on terror.
They stand in the way of economic prosperity, they stand in the way of peace, they stand in the way of a responsible judiciary, they stand in the way of virtually everything that would improve the country while at the same time trying to make as many Americans as possible believe that the greatest days of America are behind us.
It's doom and gloom and the apocalypse ahead.
Here's Chris in Dallas as we go to the phones.
Welcome.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Yes, sir.
It's an absolute honor to speak with you today, right?
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Yes, sir.
I just wanted to bring an observation to you and uh see what you thought about it.
Um it seems like there's a little strategy swapping going on.
Um it seemed like all the enemies of America are basically quoting uh the Democrats side of our from Amadinejad to Zawahiri, to Tsar Kawi, of course he's dead now.
But it seems that though uh don't leave out don't don't don't leave out Hugo Chavez.
Absolutely.
I mean, we still smell sulfur today.
But anyway, um it seems that with their inability to win in the battle of uh the arena of ideas, it seems that they're kind of switching their strategy in the form of IEDs in the form of IMs, in order to, like you said, suppress the conservative vote like they did in Iraq right before the election.
Uh so basically you're you're saying Democrats are domestic terrorists.
Uh to an extent almost their own their own form of political terrorism.
I mean, obviously they can't send out car bombs, but you know, why not suppress both their way?
Well, maybe not car bombs, but drive-by media bombs.
I mean, that's exactly what they do.
Well, that's why we call it the drive-by media.
They drop in, they they uh uh fire a bunch of uh cameras and microphones uh into the American population, get made all scared, create an absolute total mess based on bilge and drivel, uh, and head back into convertible ahead on down the highway, waiting for the next group of Americans to drop the bomb on.
I it's not a bad analogy.
Uh I it it is it is sort of funny whenever you hear I mean, this latest tape from uh Al Zawahiri uh talking about Bush lied.
Uh Bush better come clean with the American people about the lie he told to get people into Iraq right out of the democratic talking points.
Now you can't blame these guys essentially because they watch CNN uh in their cave or what have and they think that's an accurate picture of America and what the American people think.
And they know full well how to use the media, uh any friend of the Democrats, uh any enemy of Bush, rather, be the friend of the Democrats, and I that's why Democrats and uh in the media uh Herald, whatever it is, Al Zawahiri or Zerkawi, uh, or uh Hugo Chavez or Ahmadini Jad happen to say, Aaron Chico, California, welcome, sir.
Thanks for waiting.
Rush Megus here in Vada diddos.
Thank you.
I'm uh I'm I'm kind of worried here because uh as we're getting close to this election and you know, pretty much everything that the president's done with tax cuts has done nothing but help the economy.
I mean, between 911, Katrina, the war and tear and everything.
I mean, even look at the economy today.
I mean, we just surpassed a record of all time through everything.
Through everything we've gone through, the gas uh pipeline up in Alaska.
And I guarantee once I mean if the Democrats get an office, watch companies pull back because they know their taxes are gonna go up, and you're gonna see everything start to go down.
And I live in California, obviously.
And it's just it's bad enough as it is.
And if they start raising taxes, it's just gonna be ridiculous, and no one's gonna want to invest into anything.
No one's gonna want to buy property.
Make no mistake, they're going to try.
They're gonna have to get President Bush to sign their tax bills if they win the house and get the Senate to go along with them.
But uh uh they're they they are gonna try.
They they there's no question that your fears are uh justified.
That's a that's a pretty good uh explanation of how robust things are, too.
Cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
All right, as as I said moments ago, I uh I finally figured out what uh what everybody, these two guys are in a race to uh uh say they were the or are the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.
When I first saw this, and it's up there is breaking news that the next some some new guy said, I'm the father, I'm the father.
Well, what the hell?
Who cares anyway?
Why is it news?
What's the big deal?
And then I did a little research at the top of the hour break, and I found out that uh actually knew this, just forgot it, that Anna Nicole Smith could end up if the court case goes her way with something like four hundred some odd million bucks.
So then it all became clear.
We've got a bunch of freeloading men out there trying to get in on a big pile of cash without having worked for it.
Uh this embarrasses me as a man that that would be the reason, and I of course these guys are saying, No, I love her.
Fine, fine.
We expect you to say that.
Uh but we all know it's the money.
Uh follow the money, you'll always find the answer to most everything.
But it just it just offends me as a man.
That guys would get in a race to claim something.
One of them's obviously lying, and they both may be.
Who the hell knows?
Four hundred and some odd million dollars.
And if they think they're gonna see any of it.
Uh been there done that.
All right, Democrats lead in races for eleven of fifteen crucial Republican held uh House seats uh a month before the November elections, putting them within reach of seizing control of the chamber according to Reuters Zogby.
Uh poll data released today.
What what hold it a minute?
Democrats lead in races for eleven of fifteen crucial putting them within reach of seizing.
I thought I thought the polls already had them seizing control.
I thought it was the election was over.
You notice what's happening here.
For the past six months, we've been told no contest, the Democrats win, the Democrats take over, speaker to be Pelosi.
Pelosi, whatever.
They're gonna win big.
Now all of a sudden, the news is, hey, Democrats are getting close.
Democrats I thought that last week when something happened that they were getting close.
The week before that when whatever the dribble drable scandal of the week was, they were getting close.
So now the press template is that the Foley scandal is what's putting them close.
The polls taken September 25th to October 2nd in 15 of the uh most competitive house districts across the country overlap by three days.
The sex scandal involving Mark Foley's explicit internet messages to teenage male congressional pages.
Zogby said, Hey, it's not just Mark Foley, but also what did this speaker know and when did he know it?
This could turn into a free fall for Republic.
I just refuse to believe this.
I'm not I'm not doubting the results of the poll.
I just refuse to believe that Denny Hastert figures into this.
Anyway, uh oil has dropped below fifty-nine dollars a barrel.
Uh waiting for them to to say that this has something to do with the Foley story.
I can figure a couple ways where it might be.
Anyway, this has prompted OPEC uh to call uh for supply cuts.
This is been when OPEC when the price was going way, way up, over 70 dollars a barrel, they'd call OPEC OPEC, hey, our hands are tied.
Um can't do anything about it.
You can't flood the market with oil to get this price down a more reasonable.
No, no, we're uh max output.
We can't do anything about it.
Now that the price is plummeting, OPEC somehow has the ability to tighten supplies.
Here is uh Bob in Madison, Georgia.
Bob, nice to have you on the program and welcome.
Sleep number ditto Rush.
Thank you.
Uh reflecting on the behavior of the drive by the case.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, wait, wait, I gotta go.
What is your sleep number?
Uh fifty.
Fifty?
Yes.
Wow, mine's seventy-five.
Well, it depends.
If I work out and I strain my back a little bit, it goes down to forty, but usually around fifty.
Wow.
Okay.
We're talking about the select comfort sleep number bed.
How long have you had yours?
Uh about five years now.
Wow.
Well, you're getting close to me.
I've had one for ten.
And it well, I learned about it from you, and it is absolutely awesome.
I'm glad I'm glad to hear that.
Now I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I had to ask you what your number was.
That's okay.
First things first.
Uh reflecting on the behavior of the drive-by media in the coverage of the Mark Foley situation and the George Allen situation.
It brought home a stark realization for me.
Voters need to stop and think for a second that this election is also a referendum on whether voters approve of the sophistry, the double standards, and the hypocrisy being flaunted by the drive-by media.
This election is not just an opportunity to vote for candidates, but it's also a chance for voters to indicate whether they accept or reject the tawdry tactics the drive-by media continues to employ to alter the psychology of the moderate and conservative voters.
You know, I I appreciate what you're saying, but but and and I would hope that the uh anger at the media is a factor.
I know that there's rage and there's anger at the media, but unfortunately they're not on the ballot uh it in a specific way.
I mean, now obviously candidates uh are on the ballot if you're if you're angry at the way the media is overacting to everything George Allen, for example, uh and you're Republican, you vote for George Allen.
We we could only assume that some of the the Allen vote, the wins is directed at the media.
Uh exit polling data might show us some of that, but don't miss don't misunderstand.
I'm just I don't know.
Uh how how how productive it would be to get people to go out there and vote against the media.
Well, you're i i i i it's a sense I mean, look what the media is doing.
In the sense that they are getting conservative voters to question whether they're even going to vote at all, or they're getting conservative voters to say that they are going to cast a protest vote.
Well, if you really stop and think about it, you know, those types of votes, whether it's a you know, you don't participate at all or a protest vote is cast, it has a lingering effect long after this election.
If you go back to 2002, for example, and think of the tactics that uh I mean, excuse me, 2004, and think of the tactics that they employed there.
What it really did, uh, you know, when certain of their favorite candidates won, it emboldened the press to continue to use their tactics because they thought that well, wait, but wait, but the press, even when they lose, the press doesn't change their tactics.
When they lose, they don't they that they they I think it works to our benefit.
I'm not disagreeing with you that it'll work to our benefit.
I'm just saying it might be difficult.
And I'm saying this strictly uh with my political scientist cap on.
It's gonna be difficult after the election to say media contributed to the Democrats' loss, or the media contributed the Republican win, however you want to phrase it.
I I have no doubt that there are millions of Americans outraged and and uh but I think most of the most of the outrage actually goes to Democrats, the media are willing accomplices.
Um it's you know, it all helps, but but when you have a Republican win, I guarantee you what what'll happen.
Let's go back to 2004.
This is sort of funny.
In fact, when you look at it within the context of current events, after the loss in 2004, which the Democrats were sure they were going to win.
The exit polling indicated that there was a lot of attention on values.
And everybody was stumped because no candidate had really campaigned on values.
Well, the media missed what the values are.
The Bush campaign was talking values every day, just didn't use the word, talking about the values of American exceptionalism, victory over enemies uh who are terrorists, uh maintaining the promise to make tax cuts permanent.
Uh Democrats assume values because they don't understand the concept, strictly revolve around morality and the feared Christian right.
So we had in the first week after the election, the media asking, what do Democrats have to do to connect with values voters?
And then the Democrats came out and gave us the answer.
Well, we need to go out there in those blue states, and we need to we need to have religious outreach.
Problem is we're not religious.
But we gotta we gotta find a way to do it anyway.
And then shortly after that, the template began.
What do the Democrats have to do to win in 06?
And for two years, all we've had is what do Democrats need to do to win in 06.
Every news story has that as the political prism through which it passes.
The war in Iraq, the war on terror, the Abu Ghrab story, the um the Korans and uh in the commode at Club Gitmo.
I don't care what the story, for two years, the prism through which it's been presented is how will this affect the Republicans and the president and the midterm elections in 06?
Nothing will change if they lose this time.
Now, uh I do think this uh nothing's gonna change the media.
They're gonna the Democrats in the media just get angrier, and it's gonna get even worse.
There might be rioting this time around if the Democrats lose.
Some of these left-wing blogs may not be able to contain themselves.
And they'll they'll they're already setting the stage.
The drive-by media is already running stories about how yes voting machine problems out there.
I saw a story the other day how easy it is to hack a voting machine.
You can screw an election in 60 minutes if you know what you're doing, hacking a series of voting machines in a specific precinct or county.
Well, they're setting the stage for if they lose, once again they had it stolen from them and cheated, and that's just gonna rile their base up and they're gonna get livid, and there's gonna be all kinds of hell to pay.
Uh and the then they'll start again.
What do Democrats have to win in 08?
How does this affect the Democrats' chance to win the White House in 2008?
Here's one of the things that's driving the media and the Democrats right now.
The next two elections are make it or break it for the Clintons and their control over the Democratic Party, and this is why I have been saying to you that every one of these drib drab little scandals for the past four weeks is coming to us from the Clinton war room.
They have control over this party.
They have arrested control.
They can tell Andrew Cromo, you're not running this year, pal.
They can say to Bob Torreselli, you're not running this year, pal.
They can go back to Cuomo say, okay, pal, you've done well, you're back in.
You're gonna run for attorney general, whatever the hell it is in New York.
And Torch, if you play your cards right, will make you a lobbyist.
They are still running this show, but they gotta win in November.
This stuff has to work in November, and they've got to win in 08.
If Hillary does not win the presidency in 2008, and don't believe all this Rasmataz that she's not gonna run and she's gonna opt for the Senate and be there as the majority leader, and don't believe that.
This is all about power and it's all about control.
They've got whatever dirt they have on any Democrat to keep them loyal and to keep them quiet.
That's why there are no leaks from the Clinton administration.
They've got dirt on all these people.
Those 500 FBI files were not just all Republicans.
Nobody will ever convince me they were.
And so, but but they've got they got two more elections to do it.
If they lose in 06, Democrats lose in 06, with the Clinton war room running the operation.
If they lose in 08, if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, doesn't win the White House.
Uh at that point the Democrats can say, okay, you guys are out, you've had uh you've had your time, and they know it.
Now they won't go easily.
Uh but there's the the untold story is all of the the uh the power struggles going on within the Democratic Party.
Hill, look at Murphy, he's already running for uh House Majority Leader before they've even won the election.
He's trying to ace out Stanny Hoyer, who is right now Nancy Pelosi's deputy.
Uh Mertha's got to win re-election first, but he's already, he's Thinking this is in the bag.
There are a number of uh Democrats vying for power in in uh in certain areas.
Madeline Albright has her little foreign policy consultancy business out there.
She would really benefit with Democrats in power.
Uh so she's loyal to the Clinton war room and so forth.
But folks, there's so much more going on here than what you know, and that's why all of this about Foley and Hastrid resigning just really bums me out when our side falls for those for this stuff, knowing full well it's all manufactured to cause exactly what's happening.
Freezer and faction, fissure infraction in the Republican Party.
I gotta take a brick as I'm a little long.
We'll be back in just a second.
Stay with us.
I get it now.
At Kansas Church Group is that bunch of wackos that uh goes around protesting at soldiers' funerals, too.
All right.
That's they're just a bunch of kooks.
Uh yeah, no, they just cancel it because of the heat that's been brought to bear against them.
The Kansas church group has canceled the protest at the uh funeral for the slain Amish uh girls.
Ladies and gentlemen, can I just tell you how it's gonna be in this election?
I I get so sick and tired.
I got people writing me, Rush, it's over.
Why don't you just realize it's over?
We appreciate you trying to be positive, and we appreciate you trying to buck us up.
But come on, Rush.
The Republicans don't deserve to be re-elected even without the Foley scandal, the Republicans haven't done anything or said anything is going to make people want to go vote for them.
So why don't you just why don't you just open up wh why why just try rush?
Instead of trying to phony optimism to keep everybody up, why don't you just come clean and tell us what you really think you know that the Democrats are going to win this?
All right, you want truth?
You want the truth?
I'll give you the truth.
I think the Republicans not only hold the house, I think they're gonna pick up 40 or 50 seats.
Now you ought to see them on the other side of the glass here, folks.
You ought to see even Brian is going agog in there.
Well, let me tell you how I arrive at this calculation.
Birdley's in there shaking his head.
If you believe the liberals, and 40% of Americans do, I mean, by simple statistical analysis.
If you believe the liberals, you have to believe the Republicans will not only hold the House, they'll pick up 40 to 50 seats, maybe 30, but I mean it's going to be a sizable pickup for the Republicans.
I know you're saying, how?
Have I lost my marbles?
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking I'm just doing all this because I'm mad that so many of you are writing me and telling me to get real and get honest and tell everybody that we're going to lose it.
I'm just telling you what I really think.
The liberals know, and they've told us since 2000, that Republicans steal elections.
Now, if the Republicans can steal the presidency, as they did in 2000, and as they stole the presidency in 2004 by monkeying around in Florida and in Ohio, and if they're smart enough to get the Liberals' hopes up with phony exit polls in 2004 showing that John Kerry is going to win, and Republicans are that crafty.
If they're that good at cheating, if the Republicans can go out there and literally monkey around with voting machines and rightfully steal, I'm sorry, steal what is rightfully a Democrat victory.
If you can steal a presidency, folks, stealing 40 or 50 house seats is a piece of cake.
You just have to go into certain number of small districts and do your dirty work in the stealing a presidential race is huge.
So if I were a liberal and I were listening to liberal commentators, the drive-by media, Democrats, and the blogs, either since 2000 or 2004, I would stay home.
It's not worth the effort.
The Republicans are going to steal the election anyway.
So while all this talk is going on that the Democrats are close now in 11 of 15 hotly contested districts.
And while the Senate is now actually in play, it's Baldur Dash.
It's Falderall.
According to the Liberals themselves.
The Republicans will do what it takes to steal the election.
They've done it in 2000.
They did it in 2002.
I mean, they did it in 2004.
Why are they not going to steal this one?
Fastest three hours in media.
We're already through with two of them.
We have one more big hour to go featuring your phone calls.
And eh, it's some halfway decent audio sound bites, but I have to tell you everything's Foley.
That's all anybody in Washington is talking about is this Foley and Hastrid business.
But we will find a way to muddle through, folks.
