Your guiding light.
Your beacon.
Through times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, despair, depression, torture, miserableness, fatigue, and even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh here, the EIB Network on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Oh, wait, no, the evangelist says he never used the myth that he got from the gay escort one time he threw it away.
Yeah, I was gonna say, it sounds like he didn't inhale.
He got the stuff, but he never used it.
Greetings and welcome back, my friends.
Great to be with you, Rush Limbaugh.
And the excellence in broadcasting network.
Our telephone number on Open Line Friday is 800-282-2882.
And we go to the phones, the program is all yours.
You can discuss that which interests you and if I care about it or not, uh, is irrelevant.
Okay.
This is probably the fourth time that such a story has been reported to you by me since early summer.
Researchers on a three-week mission to the remote French frigate shoals in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands discovered 100 species never seen in the area before, including many that may be entirely new to science.
There were lots of organisms that people were saying, Wow, what's that?
said Joel Martin, a zoologist for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
Researchers returned from the voyage on Sunday with at least 1,000 species of invertebrates, including worms, crabs, and sea stars, about 160 unique species of seaweed were also found.
Among the discoveries are multicolored worms, a bright purple foot-long sea star, and a hermit crab that dons a sea anemone, and sports shiny golden claws.
It was a very successful expedition by almost any criterion.
The discovery has really only just begun.
So we have what is 160 brand new unique species that we never knew existed before.
Um somebody climbed a cliff up there with a helicopter.
They didn't climb, they went up to the top of the cliff with a helicopter and found some some some weeds and trees and bushes and shrubs and stuff that nobody ever seen before in some South Pacific Island.
Uh somebody discovered a bird that they had never seen before someplace.
Uh there have been four of these, which takes me to the next story.
Clam bakes, crab cakes, swordfish steaks, even humble fish sticks could be little more than a fond memory in a few decades.
If current trends of overfishing and pollution continue, the populations of just about all seafood face collapse.
By 2048, a team of ecologists and economists warn in a report in today's issue of the journal science.
Whether we looked at tide pools or studies over the entire world's ocean, we saw the same picture emerging in losing species.
We losing species we lose the productivity and the stability of entire ecosystems, said the lead author, Boris Worm of Dalhousa University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
How would you like to be born with the last name worm?
I know we're not.
Hey, worm, how are you?
Uh I was shocked.
I was uh disturbed by how consistent these trends are beyond anything we suspected, worms said.
Uh the study focused on the oceans, but concerns have been expressed by ecologists about threats to fish in the Great Lakes and other lakes, rivers, and fresh waters, even the wetlands.
Now, ladies and gentlemen.
I really have little patience for this stuff.
I when we started this program in 1988, that great oceanographer and ecologist Ted Dansen warned that we had ten years to clean up the oceans or they would die.
It has been 18 now, and Ted Danson didn't then and doesn't now have the slightest idea what he's talking about.
We are discovering new species all over them.
The arrogance of some of these scientists.
They think ev how many species are reportedly uh going extinct every day, becoming extinct?
Will they tell us during the global warming debate?
You know, this this is the this is to me it is totally outrageous.
There will be no seafood in 2048.
And why?
It's our fault.
Have you ever been out in the ocean?
Do you have any idea how big it is?
We know more about outer space than we know about the depths of the oceans.
We can see far more into outer space, and we've been farther into outer space than we have been to the depths of the oceans.
Yet we claim we know everything about it.
But these scare tactics are just absurd.
And I'm going to tell you what all this is aimed at.
It's two things, follow the money and big government.
Big government and follow the research grants for the big money to continue this important research.
That was shocking to the researchers.
Why they knew it was bad, but not nearly as bad as it is.
No more seafood.
No more Arthur treachers.
No more fully efficient McDonald's.
Now they'll wipe McDonald's out before they get rid of the fish.
But this is just an excuse to grow the government, raise taxes, and to punish people, particularly in the industrialized worlds, for all the damage they are doing to the planet.
I get so sick and tired of crisis after crisis after catastrophe after catastrophe.
Negative, negative, negative, doom, doom, doom, gloom, gloom, gloom, the apocalypse.
Every story involving science revolves around the apocalypse.
Other than the occasional news we get about a miracle drug that's going to cure this that doesn't.
You know how many times I have heard since I was 10 that there's going to be a fat pill?
Take the pill, it's going to speed up your metabolism, it's going to get rid of it.
There's no more progress on that.
I think I know more about it than science does.
You ever taken prednisone?
That's one of the drugs they gave me when I was losing my hearing.
I had to take two chemotherapy drugs because what happened to me was an autoimmune attack.
My immune system was just out of control.
Thought my inner ears were a disease flooded with white blood cells, and so the hair cells, the 40,000 in each year just laid down and died.
Kaput, gone.
The reason I got the chemotherapy drugs was they slowed down the immune system.
That didn't work.
And they gave me the predazone because it's a steroid.
Now, prednisone affects a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
I hated it, but it's a very effective drug.
It's one of the it's called by people the greatest worst drug in America.
And it's a it's steroid.
But it affects people in different ways.
One of the ways it affected me was it totally turned off my brain's ability to tell me I was full.
It was uh torture.
No matter what I ate when I never got full.
And that started me thinking about all this uh the problems that people have with uh with weight control, and people say it's well, it's just a matter of willpower and this and that.
I think there's so little known about the brain, but if a drug like that can turn off the appetite control center, which I think is in the hypothalamus, uh then what other things are occurring naturally in individuals' brains that and and affect their metabolism and so forth.
The point is we don't know.
Uh that doesn't affect everybody that way.
Prednisode affects others' people in a certain way.
Some people access a real um uh upper in fact they taper you off of it because they if if they just stop it, you go into what doctors, no, you can't, I I want to get off of this stuff.
I hated it.
You can't, you can't, you'll you'll get depressed.
Well, I said, well, I'll just start to taper them because I I hate this stuff.
I slept an hour and a half a night, couldn't sleep, never tired, but I didn't like it.
It was just, it was odd.
It was just weird as it could be.
My point is is that there are so many different interactions that occur to each individual that a blanket explanation for why if someone has a weight problem, if Someone has this problem or that problem is probably insufficient.
And that we're talking, we're talking about the human body.
Now we're talking about the complexity.
A complexity so complex we can't begin to conceive it.
But the human the the planet and the ecosystem and everything.
It's all has to be a math formula.
The eventual understanding for why.
Have you ever thought why some days there are 10 or 12 clouds and the other days, and I'm not talking about thunderstorm clouds, just cumulus clouds in a blue sky day.
You ever wonder why there's 10 someday and 14 the next, in your view?
Nobody can tell you.
I once asked some guys of the weather channel, can you can you predict the cloud cover to cloud cover?
Ha ha ha.
Well, you're predicting global warming in 20 or 30 years.
What's the cloud cover going to be to move?
Oh, be silly.
Clouds are in their own universe.
My point is, if we ever do understand this, and I don't think we ever will, I don't think we're ever going to be able to answer all the questions here on earth that Americans and humans are capable of asking.
But if we ever get the answer, it's going to be one giant math formula.
And it's probably going to be very simple.
But regardless, to take something as complex as this planet and all of the systems that have kept it going as it is, life-producing planet for however many years you want to argue about it's been around.
10,000, 10 billion, whatever it is.
The idea that a bunch of scientists writing in the journal Nature.
Uh a bunch of scientists writing in the journal science, are going to tell us that we're going to run out of seafood in 2048.
I'm sorry.
I am not a gullible dweeb, and I'm not going to buy into this because I know this isn't about science, this is about politics.
This is it's patently absurd.
Ten years ago we're going to have the end of the oceans.
And the media was pumping this stuff out, and Ted Danson had his scientific backers.
And 20 years ago, if we didn't act then, global warming was going to have taken over irreversibly.
We weren't going to be able to do anything about it.
Last year, the hurricane season was so out of control because the oceans were warming because of global warming.
Hurricane season this year was a bust.
They were taking Prozac at the National Hurricane Center because they were so depressed that they didn't have bad news to report.
Max Mayfield said, This is not exciting anymore.
I'm quitting, and he resigned.
I'm exaggerating about why, but I mean, this was supposed to be worse than last year.
First hurricane that popped up.
Remember the original track?
Right at New Orleans.
Oh no, everybody, no, not a good It petered out, didn't become much of anything, not hurricane-wise.
We don't know diddly squat, and yet people hear this stuff and they end up in mortal fear.
They've been in mortal fear of coffee.
They've been in mortal fear of oat bran.
They have been in mortal fear of trans fats, mortal fear in saturated fats, mortal fear of cholesterol, good and bad, mortal fear of diabetes, mortal fear of fruit.
That can kill you if you don't eat enough or too much.
Don't eat beef.
All of these things that are going to wipe us out, every story, every day from scientists about what is going to kill us.
And folks, we are all going to die anyway.
Yeah, we're back.
Yellow Rushbo having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Check the email during the break, and people said, What do you mean terrorists are endorsing Democrats?
Where are you hearing that?
You just can't say that.
Yes, I can.
I have a right to say whatever I want, whether it's true or not, and you can't criticize me because I'm deaf.
I can say whatever I want.
If it'll lead to my cure for deaf, I can say what I want.
But anyway, I've got facts to back this up.
You want to hear them?
World Net Daily Aaron Klein, who is the Jerusalem Bureau chief for World Net Daily.
Everybody has an opinion about uh next Tuesday's midterm congressional election in the U.S., including senior terrorist leaders, interviewed by WorldNet Daily, who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move as they see it that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.
The terrorist leaders told World Net Daily an electoral Win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are tired.
They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America's destroyed.
They said a withdrawal would also embolden their own terror groups to enhance resistance against Israel.
Of course, Americans should vote Democrats, said Jihad Jara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
That's a terrorist group.
This guy actually Klein went out and found and they talked to him.
And they must be as confident as the Democrats and the media in this country because they don't.
In fact, these guys are a little bit easier to deal with, and they'll totally be honest about what they want and what they believe.
Unlike Democrats here.
Of course, Americans should vote Democrats, said the leader, senior member of the Alaksa Martyrs Brigades.
He was the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity in 2002.
That's who uh Aaron Klein spoke to.
Of course, Americans should vote Democrats, said this terrorist.
This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq.
It's time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud, said Jarris, speaking to WorldNet Daily from exile in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered deal that ended the church siege.
He was the chief in Bethlehem of the brigades, the Al-Aqsa Brigades.
Uh the declared military wing of the Palestinian Authority President Mahmood Abbas Fatah party.
Together with the Islamic Jihad Terror Group, the brigades has taken responsibility for every suicide bombing inside Israel the past two years, including an attack in Tel Aviv in April that killed American teenager Daniel Woltz and nine Israelis.
Mohammad Sadi, senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said Democrats' talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel proud.
As Arabs and Muslims, we feel proud of this talk.
Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance, this success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal.
Abu Abdullah, a leader of the Hamas military wing in the Gaza Strip, said the policy of withdrawal from Iraq proves the strategy of the resistance is the right strategy against the occupation.
We warned the Americans this will be their end in Iraq, said Abu Abdullah.
He is considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas, Isadin al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades.
Hamas declared resistance well that that's their like bureau.
Their bureaucracy of resistance is what that's what the title of it is.
They did not succeed in stealing Iraq's oil, at least not at a level that covers their huge expenses.
They did not bring stability.
Their agents in the Iraqi regime seem to have no chance to survive if the Americans withdraw.
Abu Ayman, Islamic Jihad leader in Jen said he is emboldened by those in America who compare the war in Iraq to Vietnam.
Now, this ran yesterday at the World Net Daily website.
And we'll put a link up to it so that you can read it yourself, because the article goes on.
Now, does this not sound kind of surreal when you hear this?
Here are all these Abu Allah Mahmood guys, and they're head of these various terrorist organizations, they're talking to the World Net Daily Reporter, and they're just, my God, if Democrats would be this open, if Democrats would be this on, these guys see exactly I it doesn't surprise me if you're a terrorist leader.
Who would you want to win this election?
They're the early voters.
They were the first early voters, and they're voting early in Iraq with all this chaos they're trying to create.
Look at what the Democrats are saying.
Democrats are saying Bush created more terrorists.
Bush is creating terrorists the worldwide.
And uh and the and and we're losing.
Now, if if you're a terrorist leader and a Democrat's this country telling the truth, that the terrorists are winning, the United States is losing, and we're creating more terrorists.
Wouldn't you want to keep that as the status quo?
Why would you turn around and want to vote Democrat if the Republican president is guaranteeing your victory and creating more recruits for you?
So they'll go discover the 72 Virgins so you don't have to blow yourself up.
But yet they want Bush out.
They want the Republicans out.
They want the Democrat the Democrats who are talking about withdrawing and getting out of Iraq.
They want them in a position of power to influence that decision.
So, I mean, it's surreal to hear these guys with their quotes.
But folks, this is who they are, and they understand it.
They know full well that pulling out of there would be a huge sign of defeat, admittance, admission of weakness, and Democrats deuce it.
If you want to stop this insurgency, just get out because we're the problem.
Insurgencies would become the popular way of fighting any resistance that uh the good guys have.
Uh I gotta take a brief break.
We'll be back and continue in a moment.
Am I um I'm playing around, toying around with an idea here, folks.
Maybe doing a television commercial for stem cell research on hearing loss.
I'm thinking about it.
By the way, you you could say the Democrats are getting the Mullah Omar vote uh in this election.
Not just the terrorists in Iraq, but I mean these uh these Islamic jihad Palestinian uh whatever these guys call themselves now uh in uh in the Middle East Palestine Israel area.
They're they're it's uncanny.
How open they are about why they and by the way, one thing about this World Net Daily story.
Every one of their sources is quoted and identified.
No anonymous sources, no leaks, no wondering whether or not these guys actually said it.
The World Net Daily Store, which we've linked to at Rush Limbaugh.com now if you want to go read the whole thing for yourself.
These guys are identified and they're proud.
Yes, Mr. Sturdley, program observer has an observation.
What?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
That's that's true.
That's true.
Well, that's uh Mr. Snurdley says, you know, the uh the Reuters, the AP, uh other uh internationalist news agencies, the BBC, uh, the BBS always tell us the reaction the Arab street, the Arab street when Americans commit some atrocity someplace.
Like Abu Grab or Club Gitmo, or you name it in uh Iraq or Afghanistan.
Well, how come it uh they don't seem to find these guys that WorldNet Daily found?
They're the Arab Street, they're the leaders of the Arab Street of the Jihads to the Al-Aksa Martyr Brigade.
This is not a chump change group.
Al Oxa Martyr Brigades is um they're a huge munch out there.
At any rate, um unemployment rate uh dropped to a five-year lull of 4.4% in October, as employers added 92,000 new jobs, flashing a picture of a strong labor market as the midterm elections draw near.
How can this be?
I ask myself.
How can we have all this great economic news, ladies and gentlemen?
And then the companion story, U.S. Republicans get no traction from strong economy.
It's Reuters.
You know, uh some people have sent me emails that Rush, why are you laughing at all this?
Folks, at some point that's all you can do.
It it becomes so absurd that to clench your teeth and fists and react to it is just uh overkill itself.
It's not an effective response.
This stuff is just absurd.
White House budget director Rob Portman can point to plenty of good economic news that should have helped Republicans on the campaign trail this year, but the body count on Iraq just kept getting in the way.
Yeah, well, who kept talking about the body count in Iraq and who kept mischaracterizing the the uh strength of the uh media.
Now try this.
From Houston.
A few weeks ago, Democrats thought they had the dream race in suburban Houston, Sugarland, Texas.
No opponent's name on the ballot, and the last incumbent, former House Republican leader Tom Delay under indictment.
Even though the district had been held by Republicans for years, political analysts predicted an easy win for Democrat Nick Lambsen in his party's efforts to take over control of the U.S. House.
But with Tuesday's election just days away, Republicans now have high hopes of actually keeping the seat.
How can that be?
Imagine that.
Why?
A poll taken to late October showed just over a third of the voters planned to cast ballots for Lampson, the Democrat, while an equal amount said that they would write in the name of someone else.
Republican Shelley Sekula Gibbs was getting most of the planned right-in votes, causing uh those same pundits who a month ago predicted Lambson might get 60% of the vote, changed the race to a toss-up.
Still a Republican district out there.
Even harder than selling a right in is selling a Democrat in this district, said John Zogby, who conducted the poll.
What a minute.
This is sounds like a little bit of a hedge.
They had this seat going to the Democrats all now.
It's a Republican district.
Well, let's go to another Republican district and see how things are happening there.
You realize, ladies and gentlemen, that Joe Negrin, who has uh replacing Mark Foley in his race.
What's this guy down here he's running against Mahoney?
Is that his name?
What did I say?
I said Joe Negrin, but who's his opponent?
Isn't it Mahoney?
his name Mahoney?
I'm sorry.
They're all actors.
Who cares what the Democrat's name is?
It's some hey, some hose jobs, some some Democrat entrepreneur.
Democrat.
There are a lot of those.
They just keep them hidden too.
But anyway, uh when the Foley scandal hit, uh that was it.
Oh, wow, surprise pickup, a bonus seat.
Democrats never counted on this one.
Uh his macomahoney guy was gonna was gonna escape to victory.
And then when the uh rules made it impossible to remove Foley's name for the ballot, the experts, the Charlie Cooks and the Stu Rothenbergs and all these other guys, the Larry Sabatos, went out there and said, I mean, you telling me Republicans are gonna hold a seat when Republicans have to go in there and vote for Foley?
Ha.
Again, insulting voters in Foley's district.
It's it's I I think most people would you would you would you agree with me?
Most people in Mark Foley's district know he's not on the ballot.
Would you think most people know he's resigned?
Do you think just because of that, these this this dominant, predominantly Republican district is going to say, screw that and vote for some Democrat?
Tim Mahone, I thought his name was Mahoney.
The idea that just because Foley's name's on the ballot and Republicans couldn't go in there in privacy and vote for Foley, even though they know they're not.
They're voting for this Joe Negron guy.
Anyway, that race, they the analysts are all they're a bzb and a goggog, because my guy looks like Negrin could actually pull this out.
And now the right-in Republican in Delays district might actually pull it out.
Now that that is stunning.
She got a that's a hyphenated name.
You got to write in three names there.
One of these modern women.
But even that.
Now that one really is stunning.
So if if these kinds of things are happening.
See, they look at the generic ballot poll, the national polls and so forth.
When you get in these individual races, the picture changes uh just uh a little bit.
Here is uh Bob.
I want to get a phone call or two in before we have to go to the break.
Bob in Goshen, Indiana.
I'm uh glad you called.
Thanks for waiting.
Oh, thank you.
Megan Indiana Diddles Rush.
Thank you.
Uh yeah, I've been listening to talking about uh drive-by media, and I have never been so incensed with this media in my life as when I listened to that CNN reporter talk about being inside the insurgency and watching them line up an American soldier in his sights.
My son is a recent graduate of the Air Force car jumper program.
He's one of 450 in the world trained and happy to go in and rescue his down comrades.
And to think that could have been my son and that reporter commenting on that type of as they didn't commenter talking about Tyler Woods lining Up a putt.
I can't believe that nothing has been done about it.
Well, what can you do about it?
People have expressed their anger and outrage of CNN over it.
But they've got constitutional protection.
Sound you constitutional.
Sound like you ought to been tried for treason or at least accomplished a murder.
Well, they now wait a minute.
Now wait, wait, wait.
I w I don't think the no, maybe you're more informed than I on something.
I don't think any CNN reporter was actually with these snipers when they shot these guys.
They CNN reached out to the snipers to the terrorists.
Do you have any video we can use?
We can give you a fair shake.
And these guys either went out and produced the video or just happened to have it hanging around.
But I mean it clearly CNN aided and abetted the enemy in playing propaganda.
Oh, yeah.
But I don't think I don't think they had any in bed reporters with them.
Man, sure I don't that that's very possible.
All I remember is the commenter saying Yomid Reed's name.
Well, there have been a bunch of these commentators that have played the tapes.
Uh a bunch of the reporters, you might be talking about the reporter that was actually narrating it.
Yeah.
I don't know who that was.
Uh all I know is all their anchors have told, well, we studied this.
We had numerous meetings.
Uh we examined the and we decided uh the people had a right to know what's happening in the war in Iraq.
I just want to know if uh snipers were taking out journalists, would they show us that?
Yeah.
Uh and if if U.S. troops see the thing is they'll show us every bloody bit of video of of uh what they consider atrocities by U.S. troops every day in the world.
They will not play a video made by the U.S. Army because that would be considered to be propaganda.
No, that's for sure.
It's you know, I I can't I don't trust any of the media anymore.
I really don't healthy attitude to have.
Well, thank you very much, Russ.
I appreciate what you're doing.
Thank you very you did.
You have something else that says up here, comments on T Woods.
Am I missing something?
Yeah, because that commentator just reminded me of a sportscaster talking about Tiger Woods lining up a pot.
That's all the emotion he showed.
He said, Oh, examining the sights, no, he's gotta wait.
Oh, he's there's too many Iraqis in the way.
Oh, now he's got him in the sights.
Oh, she shot our soldiers.
Oh, I see you're drawing.
Just like a commentator lining up watching him line up a pot.
Oh, they that's what the that's what the commentator said while describing the snipers taking aim.
That's just the way he sounded.
That's just the way he sounded to me.
Oh, it's just the way he sounded.
Yeah.
Okay.
I got it.
I was confused.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I I was okay.
Thanks for clearing that up, because I uh I was confused about that.
I'm normally not confused.
It's a strange feeling, and I don't know generally what to do when it happens.
Hi, welcome back.
Great to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen.
I am uh Rush Linboa, a real anchor man in this country.
And your host for life.
A little programming note for the Fox News channel.
I just uh if I learned this before the program started, I just now remembered it.
You remember me telling you about uh this uh documentary slash movie called Obsession?
Uh that that uh it's about it runs 77 minutes, it's an hour and uh seventeen minutes.
And they were having trouble finding a distributor for this thing, but it is scary.
It is it is really well done.
It is a portrait of our enemy, the Islamo fascists.
And the interesting thing is that it's all video from their outfits, uh, their organizations.
There's Hassan Nasrallah is on this thing, the Hezbollah.
And the director actually called us from uh South Africa when we were talking about this, and I asked him uh okay, th you have to translate a lot of this because a lot of these guys are jabbering on in their in their native tongue.
I say, how can we trust the translation?
And they said, we go to our website, everything is backed up.
Obsession, the movie.
Everything is backed up on this.
Anyway, the Fox News Channel is going to air an edited version of it over the weekend, twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday.
They're gonna air a one hour version of Obsession eight and ten p.m. Eastern Times on Saturday and four and ten p.m. Eastern Times on Sunday.
So you'll have four chances to uh to see it.
I got another copy of the DVD, just came in over the transfer today in the mail.
I gave it to Snerdley.
So you you've got to watch this thing.
It'll you know what when you first start it, you start watching it, you're like this is you think you've seen this stuff before.
Stick with this, is it doesn't take long uh to permeate the a lot of people don't want to believe this stuff.
A lot of people don't want to believe we have an enemy of this nature that is really motivated and impassioned and oriented toward destroying us.
People it it's easy to I I I don't have to think about that now.
They're they're not anywhere near doing that.
And so you don't want to think about it.
A lot of people don't want to think about unpleasant things unless it's the dying ocean or global warming.
People be plenty happy to think about that, but their own destruction by violence, people don't want to don't want to comprehend.
It they just something will happen.
Something good will happen, and we'll win.
Well, that's true if elections matter.
But anyway, four and uh 10 p.m. on Sunday, Eastern time, eight and ten PM on uh Saturday night on the Fox News channel.
Here's Dana in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Nice to have you on the program.
Great to be on your show, Rush.
Thank you.
Thanks for presenting uh the one thing the Democrats fear most, and that's the facts.
Appreciate that.
Um really appreciate your show, and uh, I tell you what, our founding fathers would be proud of you.
I'm I I really believe that for what for what you're doing for for America, getting the facts out.
Um I I told your screener that I I lived in Central America during the eighties, and uh I didn't follow politics all that much, but I was always amazed how I'd come back here to the States, and and you'd see in the news that the uh communist sandinistas were good, you know, and the contourists who were trying to take their country back were bad.
You know, just the opposite of uh of what was going on there.
You know, I I I I visited many Nicaraguan refugee camps, and boy, some of their stories about the communists were just unreal.
But then I come back here to the States, and you hear the news, and it's like the the Democrats were trying to strengthen the the our enemies.
You know, especially member Tip O'Neill, of course you remember him.
Oh, look at all of them.
Jim Jones, Jim Wright, I mean uh George Miller.
Hell yes, I'll never I will never forget that.
I was I was working in Sacramento at the time, and it was uh it was hot hot blood issue out there.
Uh I uh Ollie North came to town to talk about it.
I was where I met him uh first time, and and uh some of the Control leaders uh came up.
I I will never forget it was all because Reagan sub you know it's it's there's no question liberals have sympathy for the downtrodden, and they look at these socialists and communists as downtrodden people.
But there was as much about opposing Ronald Reagan, just as today it's as much about opposing George Bush as it is doing what's right for the country.
They haven't changed.
The liberals of today, they are who they are, no matter how much they try to mask it.
Bill in Muncie, Indiana.
I have a minute and a half, but I wanted to get to you before we had to vanish.
Hi, Russ.
Thanks for talking to me.
You bet.
I'm a conservative educator, and that's a different call.
I was calling to thank you for um taking a very personal issue.
My dad had Parkinson's for 14 years and died from it.
And uh and making me realize that being mad at George Bush isn't gonna bring him back to life.
And uh seeing it for what it is and giving me the right information.
Um I appreciate it.
Well, I uh thank you for the call.
Uh you were actually what uh bet you were you were angry because uh uh Bush opposes any new uh embryonic stem cell research.
Right.
And and you know, the drive by look at it is that that's gonna cure everything.
And uh thanks to you, I know that it doesn't, and I got some real factual information, as the last caller said.
I mean, it's the facts, you know.
Um and uh no one could be more sorry for uh you know Mr. Fox and me.
Um I've seen the results of that.
Fortunately, he's you know young enough that he's gonna live a long time.
My father was older, and it proved to be fatal after fourteen years.
But the fact is that, you know, me being angry with George Bush is I mean, it's a waste of time.
Well, you know, even about that, but let me just address that for just a second.
What what what I never understood about that is that Bush is the only guy who's ever authorized any research on any embryonic stem cell lines.
Clinton opposed it, voted it down.
Bush is the only guy who has.
He just hasn't expanded it beyond the 72 lines that we have.
It's uh it it's it's it's all about federal funding.
There's no free market money going into that research, which is quite telling.
We'll be back in just a second.
Here about the Seattle school bus driver who flipped the president the bird when he was out there, got fired, wants her job back.
That's a metaphor, folks.
Liberals are flipping all of us the bird.
And we'll talk more about this on Monday.
I'll look forward to it.
