Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
All right, folks, I have a uh I have a point to make and I have a question to ask.
The point to make is this.
Oh, actually, yeah, the I think Mark Foley should resign.
I think it's b he should resign or he should at least be expelled from the House of Represent.
What do you mean what?
You're kidding me.
Mark Foley resigned 11 days ago.
Mark Foley, he's in rehab?
Mark Foley resigned 11 days ago and he's in rehab.
Well, what what happened to me?
I've been watching the news all weekend and all day, and the covers of Time and Newsweek out there.
Uh there's Foley.
He quit 11 days ago?
Foley's gone.
He hasn't been seen in public in 11 days.
Well, I've sure seen him all over the place in 11 days here, all over television.
Next uh the the question is this.
Folks, can we, based on what the Democrats are saying, um can we now conclude that uh gay Scoutmasters are a problem or pose a potential problem?
I mean, we're hearing about I mean, do you realize what these people are saying?
The Democrats and their gay bashing, they're saying we're gonna have to have some controls over the page program.
There's only one control anybody's talking about right now, and that's homosexuality, right?
So what are we gonna do?
Are we gonna have to have every member of Congress declare his sexual orientation before we allow that that member of Congress to have access with the pages?
Is that where we're headed here?
And does that mean that we have to um make sure that no homosexuals can uh can be scout masters now?
You know, the gay state we can, it's no problem.
We need that contact between young boys and and uh and and what have you.
So anyway, we'll get more into that.
Um uh I I thought Foley was still around.
I mean, here we got the the North Korean hole.
Isn't this cool?
By the way, it's the Rush Limbaugh program, and here's the phone number, 800-282-2882.
Whenever somebody's wackos with guns invade a school, we stop everything, we lock down the neighborhood, we send in the SWAT team.
When this little pot-bellied dog eating dictator in North Korea sets off his pitily little nuke test, we send letters.
And then we start blaming Bush.
The Iranians are blaming Bush.
The media is blaming Bush, saying, why couldn't we get it done the right way like Clinton and Madeline Aldbright?
I kid you not.
What's her name?
Uh uh Andrea Mitchell.
Uh made that point.
Where was it uh today on the on the Today Show?
Okay, so Foley resigns eleven eleven days ago, but on the cover of Time and Newsweek, uh, we have Mark Foley.
Now you might be saying, but come on, rush the test and the the the North Koreans did their nuke test yesterday uh after the magazines went to press.
Well, of course that's true, ladies and gentlemen.
That's also why.
I am your host.
This nuke test has been a gathering storm for weeks.
Uh anybody who can connect any dot knew that Sunday was the ninth anniversary of uh of this little guy's elevation to dictator.
Uh you know, which uh I I They don't want to put the nuke test on the on the on the front pages.
They don't want to allude to it because any suggestion of problems with the axis of evil or terror or the need for a strong America helps Republicans.
Uh any suggestion of Foley they think helps the liberals, although New York Times is out with a story, and I I uh you know I have to tell folks.
I was I was in an email chat last night with uh No.
I will admit it.
I was in an I am chat.
I w yes.
I was having an I am chat with a friend last night, and I lost it.
Now I'm exhausted.
Yes, I saved it.
I printed it out.
I have it right here.
But I'm telling you, I was I was exhausted.
I got probably nine hours sleep Friday and Saturday night.
Played in this golf tournament at Wingfoot over the weekend.
Uh got home last night, uh, watched the Eagles and the and the Cowboys, uh, which was a good game.
Loved watching T.O. ran around the sidelines blaming Drew Bledsoe for not being able to throw the ball.
TO has point.
And uh then I watched the Steelers self-destruct, and then this instant message thing starts, and it's, you know, the the the latest negative news about this and the latest negative news about that.
I just I blew up.
Because when I'm on the golf course, and I want to mention any names, but it every time I go to the Northeast, are we gonna, are we gonna are we gonna lose the house?
Are we gonna we're gonna lose the Senate?
No.
Really?
I think we are.
Well, then why did you ask me?
Because I frankly don't want to talk about it.
I'm up here to play golf.
I talk about it Monday through Friday, noon to three, fifteen hours a week.
Listen then.
I didn't really say that.
That's what I was thinking.
Well, um why I mean it just looks so bad out there.
You know why it looks bad?
Because you are in the media bubble, which is a constant drumbeat of negativism.
If you are in the media bubble, the Republicans have already lost the House and they've already lost the Senate.
Danny Hastert is to blame, not even Mark Foley.
Foley's gone.
I just learned today he retired 11 days ago or resigned or what have you.
Bottom line is this.
If you're gonna accept that the Republicans lose the House in the Senate right now, if you're gonna accept that, you also have to accept something else.
You have to accept that the country loves Democrats.
You have to accept that the country doesn't see any problem with the Democrats.
You have to accept that the country doesn't see any problem with the media.
You have to believe the media would uh the country would love to see Democrats in power.
Now the media wants you to think that, but does anybody think that there are people in this country that there's no one in this country that holds a Democratic Party out as the enemy?
I'm telling you, and you well, you are one.
You are many who do.
The idea that only Republicans are hated and despised.
Don't get caught up in this stuff, folks.
I mean, the North Koreans launch their nuke tests, the Iranians blame us.
The Chinese, uh the Chinese feel disrespected because of uh whatever.
Uh the Japanese are sending a crew over there to uh test radiation levels.
Uh the uh uh the the whole the whole situation is gonna boil down.
It's Bush's fault.
Bush didn't do enough.
Bush's lousy North Korea policy.
It's as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning, although with global warming, we don't know how much longer that will even be happening.
The sun might go out by the end of the week.
You never know if that happens, folks.
Uh we're dead.
The negativism and and the the uh the fear, I I I can't live that.
I cannot live constantly barraged by negativism.
I can't live in I want to enjoy life, and there are all kinds of reasons to, and I cannot sit there and get immersed in uh in getting mad at the media.
The media is like a snake.
A snake's a snake, a tiger's a tiger.
They are what they are.
Uh and the idea that they're gonna change, the idea that uh that that we can do something that's gonna change them is ridiculous.
We can defeat them, but not with an attitude to, oh my god, woe is us.
I'll I'll get into more of this because I printed out the rant.
Um the uh the instant message, and then there was uh passion was flowing.
Anyway, the what got me started on this thought was that there were stories in the New York Times, I think it was in the New York Times uh Saturday or Sunday, I don't remember which, but they sent reporters out to uh a part of Southern Virginia, which is where evangelical Christians reside.
And they went out there to find evidence of what they've been saying all week, that the evangelical Christians.
The uh the Christian right, the people live in the back of their pickups while parked in the church parking lot.
We're so upset at this foley thing, they're gonna quit, they're gonna abandon, they're gonna leave the party, they're gonna man in fact they may even turn around and vote Democrat this summer, except the problem was they couldn't find anybody that thought that in the community they went to visit.
So I mentioned this to somebody.
Well, that doesn't matter because the population's in northern.
See what I mean?
Can't even accept one shred of good news.
One shred of good news has to be blown apart by that doesn't matter, that's not the Northern Population Center of Virginia.
This is all a bunch of people in the center.
It's an indication that their attempt in the media is not working.
We're gonna need you in the Christian right if we are to be successful in November.
I'm proud of you.
I'm very proud of you for hanging in there and not falling prey to the spin of the uh of the media bubble.
Anyway, I'm a little long here.
We've got to take a break.
We got some audio sound bites.
The president talking about uh the North Korean nuclear test.
Um and there are other things out there in the news.
I have, ladies and gentlemen, working diligently this morning with Mr. Snerdley, have uh written another uh uh screenplay.
We're gonna submit this to uh ABC, the path to October 8th, uh, which is the North Korean nuke test date.
The path to October, and of course, we're blaming the Clinton administration and Madeline Albright sending it out to Bob Iger later this week, back after this.
Stay with us.
On the cutting edge, societal evolution rush limbo, America's real anchor man 800-282-2882.
That little uh pot-bellied dog eating dictator North Korea wants congratulations now.
Uh yes, ladies and gentlemen, North Korea wants congratulations.
The UN Security Council should congratulate North Korea for its nuclear test instead of passing useless resolutions or statements.
Said North Korea's UN ambassador today, Pak Gil Yan told reporters blah blah.
He's right.
I mean, not about the congratulations business, but it's a total waste of time passing useless resolutions.
Yes, it is, Dawn.
Don't sit there and say, No, it's not.
That's a problem.
People think this is meaningful, sending letters, passing resolutions.
Doesn't do diddly squat.
Look at how it solved the Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Ha ha ha.
And the Israeli Hisbo.
Yes.
I love the way we solve problems.
Get this.
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, that'd be John Bolton, told the Security Council that Washington would view a North Korean attack on South Korea or Japan as an attack on the United States.
We have to tell them that.
There must be some doubt.
And then this Chinese president Hu Jintao and U.S. President George W. Bush talked about their reactions to North Korea's reported nuclear test by telephone today, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
Hujintao told Bush that China has issued a statement condemning North Korea's nuclear test, but warned against taking action which could further aggravate the situation.
Let's have this line of thinking the next time some kid goes into a school or somebody goes into a school with a gun.
Let's oop, time to fire off a resolution.
Let's have a meeting of the city council where the school is located.
And it's uh we can't take any action out there because that can further aggravate the situation.
Here's uh Gary in Detroit.
Oh, by the way, Gary, congratulations to the Detroit Tigers uh and their and their win over the New York Yankees.
I was watching.
You mind if I tell a little short story, Gary, on your time.
Actually, it won't take away, won't take away from your time.
Okay, but I noticed first things first.
I'm from Laguna Beach, not from Detroit.
But I am a Detroit Tigers fan.
You're f you're from Laguna Ge.
What?
I'm here to go to the beach.
You're in Laguna Beach?
Yes.
But I am figures.
It's it says it says Detroit on the call screeners.
Yeah, no, no.
It says Detroit figures you wouldn't be in the Detroit.
Well, all right.
Screw it.
Never mind the congratulations, then.
Never mind the Detroit story.
What'd you call about?
No, I I well, I I was I was calling about about what's happening in North Korea with a little dog eater.
Oh go right ahead.
Yeah.
Now, oh, but just to confirm about the Detroit Tigers, I definitely want to see them kick the Asian.
It's too late.
I don't why would you say you're calling from Detroit when you're in Laguna Beach?
I didn't say I was calling from Detroit.
Well, anyways, Rush, the bottom line here is.
Oh, geez.
We we we got we got the this a Monday morning, right?
Oh, it is for you.
Yeah.
Definitely.
I feel like it's already Friday.
Now, anyways, okay, we're coming up on the 65th anniversary of the Japanese going after us, correct?
Now yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
December 7th.
Exactly.
Now, it seems like right around October, November, December.
Now we're gonna have to protect the Japanese from getting attacked by North Korea.
What are you suggesting?
Are we going and take out the North Korean nuke sites?
Well, don't we have a bunch of carriers sitting off the coast right now?
Forget it.
Let me look at Gary.
Let me give you the reality.
It ain't gonna happen.
We refuse to project our power anymore.
We are not the same United States.
We are a paper tiger.
We are not what We used to be political correctness rules today.
We are a nation of letters and resolutions and condemnations, but that's all.
We have Republicans who are more afraid of the media and Democrats in Washington than they are afraid of our real enemies.
We have Democrats who don't recognize any enemies except Republicans and conservatives.
This is what happens when you get bogged down by what people think of you rather than serving your own priorities.
What we'll see now, we're going to bring the Clinton people out to comment on this.
The people that gave us the problem are going to be brought out to blame Bush, Clinton, Albright, you name it.
And we will hear that John Bolton caused this because he's too provocative with his mustache at the United Nations.
You just don't see people with mustaches at the U.N. And he insists on going there looking threatening and looking uh uh provocative and it's it's it's leading to problems.
They were gonna say that we provoked the United Nations by our Middle East and Iraq policy, and the United Nations could have stopped this North Korea test.
But since we refuse to work with the United Nations since we go it alone, since we're unilateralist cowboys, the UN isn't going to help us here.
In the old days, Gary, we would have taken care of business in both Iraq and Iran and North Korea, and we wouldn't have used talks.
We would have taken care of business to protect national security and our priorities, but we are paralyzed now.
We're paralyzed because we are concerned about what other people around the world think of us.
We're paralyzed because Republicans are concerned what the media is going to say about them.
Republicans are paralyzed because they can't think that anything's going on other than Foley and Denny Hastert.
Republicans are so scared they're going on television over the weekend and admitting that they might lose the house.
Then it looks so horrible.
So eager are they to curry favor with their enemies that they go on television and act like they are in a two-seat minority rather than in a majority in both houses.
They don't act like winners, they don't out out like the majority, they act scared, they act like they're gonna lose everything, and they want a curry favor for whatever hell reason I can't understand.
Meanwhile, our nation remains fixated with literal ding bats like Paris Hilton and P. Diddy.
Our nation remains fixated with a pop culture that is as redeeming as the bottom of a sewer.
You could even throw some baking soda on it to try to clean up the aroma, and it wouldn't help.
Nothing will be done.
Iran's watching all of this.
They have been watching all of this for the last few years.
But Japan needs offensive nuke capability now.
And guess what?
The world will come together.
No, no, that would destabilize.
The Japanese are not gonna get offensive nukes.
That would destabilize the situation.
The Chinese won't allow that.
The Chinese will go to the mat over that with okay, well, we don't want to upset Hu Jin Pao.
And we don't want to provoke this little dog eating potbellied dictator in North Korea any more than he already was.
Meanwhile, while all this is going on, the headline in the LA Times is sex with X Page when he was 21.
Meaning Mark Foley.
Well, hell's bells.
Bill Clinton had sex with an intern when she was 21.
And he had phone sex to boot.
We need a conservative president, folks.
Uh and I don't know that there's one out there.
It's gonna come from the governorships.
Uh if one uh if one is out there at um at all.
And yet amidst all this, the weak old congressional page scandal could have a decide.
Do you like that for folks?
Do you like me sounding negative?
Well, I'm just trying to sound like everybody else does.
I'm just trying to relate.
This is what I hear day in and day out, so I thought I'd share it with you.
Everything's over.
We're gonna lose the House and the Senate.
We don't have a prayer.
We don't have anybody knows what they're doing.
The media Washington Post trying to destroy George Allen again this time because he wears cowboy boots, and they get on and discover that a spokesman, uh uh uh a detractor.
This is a true story in the Washington Post, a detractor is ripping George Allen because he wears cowboy boots, and he doesn't pull that off.
The detractor happens to work for the web campaign, but the Washington Post doesn't mention that.
So I'm duty bound to mention this uh again and again to illustrate again and again the absolute not bias but agenda orientation of the of the drive by media.
But I mean, look, I I can be as negative as anybody.
I can, if that's what people want to hear, if that'll make you comfortable, if if that's if that's what it takes to relate to people that I can join you.
I can I can dig my heels in and I can find just as much wrong, if not more, uh than all of you can.
And I can make it sound better than most people at the same time.
I can make negativism sound exciting.
So if that's what you want, let me know.
800-282-2882 and the email address is rush at EIB net.com.
And if the next time somebody's calling from Laguna Beach, say so.
When we get a call from Detroit, I'm gonna tell the Detroit story, but not until then.
Quick time out, we'll be back after this.
Stay with us, my friends.
Oh, yeah.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
Here at the Limboy Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, uh phone number 800-282-2882 in the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
I do want to congratulate the uh Detroit Tigers.
Uh finished the season in uh in woeful shape and came back and uh took three in a row from the New York Yankees.
Uh but the thing I wanted to say about this, I was watching some of the game at some, I forget when, these past days run together.
There was Ernie Harwell, the former uh uh Tiger play-by-play, uh, one of the one of the best to have ever uh worked in radio at anything.
And uh it it took me back to uh the mid-70s when uh I was I was working in radio in Kansas City at a disco station called KUDL.
At any rate, um I had a friend at the at the Kansas City Royals, uh and the Royals are making a playoffs uh all those years, 76, 77, 78.
And they always have in the playoffs a media crunch, and they've got a lot more radio and TV play by play coming in.
And friend said, would you come out and uh and and and work in the booth uh with Ernie Harwell, who's uh who's gonna do the uh radio for the American League Championship series.
And I said, Whoa, of course.
So I met with Ernie Harwell, and it was just a treat, and he asked I asked him what he needed.
And I knew he needed nothing from me.
I mean it's Ernie Harwell, and he is is he's one of the most accomplished uh play-by-play baseball radio pioneers ever.
Uh and I just was reminded of this when I saw him the other night, but he um he said, you know, I could use some things, and he told me some things he would like.
If you could, you know, some players for the Royals.
I said, Yeah, well, if you if you could before the game run down, get me some vignettes and some stories.
So I went down there and I uh to the field during batting practice and I picked up some of these things, little little notes and vignettes, and I brought them back up and I I gave them to Harwell.
He used a couple of them.
Uh he was just I had no business being in that booth with Ernie Harwell.
I mean, it was it was a big thrill for me, but I had no business being there.
He was the nicest, the most gracious uh uh man I think I've I've ever met at his stature uh at his his level of things.
And I was in that booth for the whatever the total number of games were in uh in that in that series.
I didn't even forget it was the Yankees, it was the Royals and Yankees, but it was uh just a memorable experience for me, but I'll never forget uh how here he is there to do a very important job, and he's going out of his way to make sure I'm comfortable in the booth and making sure that I'm having a good time up there.
Uh and it was totally unnecessary.
And when you when you meet uh successful people who are, you know, my my dad always said, uh, and I've I've I've mentioned this to you before, but it's it's something that that is is true.
You can always take the measure of someone by watching how they treat people who can't do anything for them.
And if they treat people who can't do anything for them, uh with the same amount of respect as they do people who can or people that work for them, then you got a pretty good idea uh about about their character.
And from my experience with Ernie Harwell, I there was the there was no finer man or character that I had the chance to work with in such circumstances, and I wanted to just getting this call from uh Laguna Beach that said Detroit up there, how that happened beyond me, but nevertheless it reminded me of the story.
Uh and of course that leads to other things.
Now New York hates Joe Torre.
Well, they don't hate Joe Torrey the media hates Joey.
Joe Torrey's got to go.
Uh because the Yankees have lost.
And uh that that's another thing.
What is it, the expectation that if the baseball season's worthless, if the New York Yankees don't win the World Series.
Where did where did that get written?
What's wrong that the Detroit Tigers win?
Where is it where is it written that the new if the if the if the Yankees lose that there's something institutionally wrong with baseball?
There's nothing institutionally wrong with baseball just because the Yankees don't win.
There are maybe other institutional problems with baseball, but not just because the Yankees don't win.
Uh uh the Detroit people want to watch a World Series with Detroit.
It's good to have different teams in there every year.
Uh you might you might not in the World Series, they're both in the American League sturdily, you idiot.
They both they can't meet each other in the World Series.
Now, next next next next thing you're gonna tell me, you're gonna tell me who cares about the Oakland A's and the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series.
That's what you're gonna tell me.
You're gonna tell me nobody cares about.
You s you may as you may as well be a Northeastern elitist if that's your attitude about it.
The baseball fans of this country will watch it.
Enough of that.
John in Indianapolis, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Barely five-oh Colts dittoes, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
Um my solution to the North Korean problem has uh precedents in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I think it gives China an incentive to control their puppet.
Um no shots will be fired, and it has a precedent from a Democrat president, President Kennedy.
He told Cuba an attack by Cuba on the United States will be considered an attack by the Soviet Union, and we simply tell China that an attack by North Korea will be considered an attack by you, and you will be destroyed.
Ain't gonna happen.
Well, I don't think it'll happen publicly.
I hope it happens privately.
What's wrong with what's wrong with that solution, though?
Uh nothing is wrong with a solution, but I just don't see anybody stopping the North Koreans from getting a nuke.
And I I don't I don't see anybody stopping the Iranians from getting one either.
Well, you know what?
I don't either.
But I kind of assumed years ago that nuclear proliferation's gonna happen.
We probably can't stop it, and we're back to mutually assured destruction, and then we better we demon have a missile shield.
One of the reasons is we've got a bunch of liberals in this country who thinks that makes the world safer.
Madeline Albright laments the fact that there's only one superpower.
She's all upset about the fact that that's destabilizing.
We need other nations so that they think they have a fighting chance to destabilize the the the power of the United States is alone superpower.
These there are American liberal Democrats who actually hold that perverted view, and they don't see anything different in a Great Britain having a nuke and an Iran having a nuke.
They don't see any difference in North Korea having one or India having one.
To them, it's all the same.
Uh and it's it's just it's outrageous.
Well, there's fools, and unfortunately, it looks like those fools are gonna control Congress again, and we damn well better make sure those fools don't control the White House because we this country will lose this war.
What you have to understand is if they control Congress and the Senate, they will ultimately control the White House because they will be able to shut down any White House agenda.
Yes.
Yes, I know.
So it it while they won't actually be running the White House by having uh a Democrat president, if they win the House and Senate, uh they can start subpoenaeing all kinds of people and documents, starting all kinds of investigations into Bush as a war criminal.
They can stall every element of his agenda that he wants to advance in his last two years, uh, and in effect rendering him uh uh uh a lame duck.
But you've hit the key.
Bush has been way too accommodative.
Um his new town, he should have fought these people from the beginning.
Clinton did that, even though he was a horrible president, he was a fighter, and people respected him.
That's why his job approval ratings went up.
Uh Clinton was a fighter for well.
Nah, I don't think that's why Clinton's job approval ratings went up.
Um I I think in Clinton's case, most Americans wish they were getting a little bit of what he was getting.
And they thought it was cool.
Uh a lot of the women wished they were Monica.
A lot of the men wish they had the chance to do this.
In in in Foley's case, nobody wants to be Mark Foley.
You know, so he he he's he's not looked at, and plus he checked out, and he's in rehab, he's not uh he's not fighting.
You can't say Bush isn't a fighter, he's the lone man in this country who is fighting against these people.
He's a lone man fighting the war on terror, he's a lone man trying to do the right thing in Iraq.
Um he's the lone man warning of the world about the danger posed by these people.
Um and he's you can't say that Bush isn't a fighter.
I pre John, I appreciate the call.
Thanks, uh thanks much.
Jerry, by the way, not impressed with that 14-13 win over the hapless Tennessee Titans with a rookie quarterback.
You know something the league is gonna see what the Titans did on defense to stop the Colts, and I know what it is.
Well, if anybody wants to know, I'm I'm charging for this information now.
Jerry, Wilton, Connecticut, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Megan Diddle's rush, and props to my Eagles for ending the other media circus, the TO one, uh, with an explanation point.
Uh the obviously, as you pointed out, the world is a dangerous place.
We have we have uh Iran, we know North Korea, we've got continued troubles in Iraq, we we have the the resurgence of Soviet style thuggery in in Putinist Russia.
And and if the Democrats think that one Republican congressman running around like behaving like he's a Democrat is cause enough for them to win.
The the both houses of Congress.
I I think they're smoking something.
I mean, the the I mean, we are in a very dangerous world.
And these you know, these mindless Democrats running around, you know, oh, foley this, folly that, or or who do you blame, or who do you blame, or let's take a poll.
You know, our enemies laugh at polls.
And we have to get beyond that.
And and one final point.
Wait a second.
Our enemies don't laugh at polls, they quote them.
Osama bin Laden cites polls.
He may as well cite polls, Zawahiri.
They cite polls which come v the nothing more than than Democrat campaign rhetoric.
All of our enemies around the world align with the Democrats.
Saddam Hussein in his defense was aligning with Democrats.
Country was stolen from me.
They had no right to do this.
There's terrible torture going on in our prisons now and so forth.
Everything the Democrats say, our enemies say.
In fact, this guy, what's his name, Kim Jong-il, has an unofficial spokesman in Washington that actually quotes the New York Times and the Washington Post as coming out against the United States.
Picks up quotes in our newspapers to turn against George W. Bush and United States policy.
For Madeline Albright and the other Democrats who go through life with the attitude, well, we have a bomb so they can have a bomb, why not?
That is precisely the attitude that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg must have been motivated by when they betrayed this country.
Why should we be the sole superpower?
Why should we be the sole holder of a nuclear weapon?
That must have been what Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were thinking.
And and if Madeline Albright wants to get in bed with them, if she wants to be a fellow traveler, then you know God bless her.
But she may follow their path.
If you want to mention Julius and uh Ethel Rosenberg, you can't leave Alger Hiss out of the equation.
Quick timeout, we'll be back and can continue in mere moments.
Stay with us.
Breaking news, United States preparing another protest letter.
The uh UN Security Council and the uh North Koreans, this isn't gonna be real, it's gonna be an all caps uh to uh get the point across.
Audio sound by time.
Today's show, NBC, Matt O'Hauer, is talking with Andrea Mitchell about North Korea testing their nuke.
Question from Matt O'Hauer.
I was there a few years ago.
It was surprising to me that there is starting to be this communication and actual physical contact between South and North Korea.
There's a superhighway being built that really connects the two.
That and the rail connections, all of this is the new sunshine policy, but that came right up against the Bush administration's decision to cut off the connections.
Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright were progressing in October and November of 2000 towards the restoration of diplomatic relations.
And if the Democrats had won that election, that probably would have happened.
It was cut short in March of 2001 by uh President Bush overruling his new Secretary of State.
Uh some people said cutting him off at the knees.
That was the first real setback for Powell.
And then uh telling the South Korean ally on the first visit in March 2001 that they would not support this Bush administration would not support re-engagement with North Korea.
See, i i if we had just left it to Democrats and Clinton and Albright, this test wouldn't have happened.
We'd have built the superhighway, and the North Koreans and the South Koreans would be trading with each other, they'd be loving each other, and there wouldn't there wouldn't be a problem.
Actually, the superhighway would have been used by the North Koreans to march troops down there and tanks and uh what have you.
So he this soundbite has it all.
Bush sucks, cut Colin Powell off at the knees early on, sandbagged brilliant Democrat plans of Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright.
Uh just goes to show you folks how damaging Republicans have been.
We went back to the archives, found this laugher of a story.
It is uh from what is the date here?
It's uh 2002.
I think it's December 15th of 2002, although I'm guessing I'm trying to read the web link.
And I think that's the date.
At any rate, here's the headline.
Clinton had plans to attack North Korea reactor.
Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he had plans in the early 90s to attack and destroy North Korea's nuclear facilities after the secretive communist state was found to be producing weapons grade plutonium given to him by Clinton.
It doesn't say that.
I thought I'd add it.
At the time Clinton said North Korea had plans to produce between six and eight nuclear weapons per year.
Clinton told a security forum uh in Rotterdam.
Yeah, I mean, we uh we actually drew up plans to attack North Korea, destroy their reactors.
We told them we'd attack them unless they ended their nuclear programs.
We're in a very intense situation.
Of course, they didn't end the programs and we didn't attack.
Look at all the stuff Clinton failed at.
We had all these I had these plans, bro.
I mean, we had plans to go out and get Bin Laden.
I could never get sanctioned approval.
He was where we were there.
We're saying what he was.
And I told the CI people we're gonna get him.
You tell me where he is, and I'm gonna pull the trigger, I'm gonna have you pull a trigger.
They never got back to me and told me where Bin Laden was.
We're gonna go attack at North Korea correct reactor and and and uh we just, you know, uh.
And there are people in the Clinton administration who run around singing the praises of this doofus day in and day out.
He gets away with saying this.
Yeah, he he gave them, he and Albright and Jimmy Carter.
We can't leave old Jimma out of the mix.
Old Jimma goes over there and starts the ball rolling on this exchange of nuclear uh uh technology because the North Koreans didn't have enough electricity and and uh natural resources for their own power plants, and they made they made promises to us folks.
Those communists promised us that they would not try to convert the nuclear tech we gave them into weapons.
And Madeline Albright was called on this on television once, and well, they they tricked us.
Communists lie.
If you want to be tricked by a communist, you have to want to be tricked.
You have to think it's gonna happen.
To think that a communist isn't gonna lie to you.
Okay, so now we've got the test that actually took place, but Bill Clinton could have stopped it by his own admission.
He was going to bomb those reactors.
Don't know why he didn't, but he didn't.
But you can look at it this way, folks.
At least we had somebody who wanted to.
At least Clinton wanted to blow up those reactors.
Maybe he never got around to it for whatever reasons, but we had a guy who actually wanted to.
Do you hear anybody talking about blowing up their reactors today?
Well, of course, if we believe him, they're always caveats to Clinton, but I mean, look at he's he's he's coming off as uh as a as a tough guy here.
Yeah, we're gonna attack those reactors.
See, people are celebrating Clinton knew how to deal with these people.
The fact he never did anything is irrelevant in terms of his stature, his legacy, or what have you.
So I tried, at least I tried Limbaugh's out there, tried I was gonna bomb those reactors, I was gonna bomb them.
And then they started Fox News.
Fox, that's what it was.
Fox News started after your show, and it totally distracted me.
And I was I didn't have time to keep my mind on North Korea because I had a TV network that was out to destroy me.
Quick timeout, back with more in just a second.
Just saw the funniest graphic.
It was up on Fox, a bunch of microphones in a podium, and the graphic said waiting for UN reaction or action to North Korea nuclear test.
Why, that's got to be one of the funniest things.
We're waiting for the UN's reaction or action from the UN.
That graphic will still be on somebody's television six months from now and a year from now.
