Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I'm Roger Hedgecock filling in today.
The master is away.
Kind of a mystery about where he is, but I guess he'll fill all of us in when he gets back.
What did he say?
Chance of a lifetime.
My goodness.
Well, we'll see what that is when he gets back later this week.
In the meantime, of course, tons of stuff going on that we need to get into here at the Limbaugh Institute.
We're not playing the DVDs.
We're not expecting a day off because you have a substitute teacher.
No, no, no.
We're right into it, pursuit of truth.
And your calls.
1-800-282-2882, of course, to join the program.
Now, Chicago, uh, needs a little uh slap upside the head today, so I'm just the guy to give it.
Heads up in Chicago, here we go.
It says, according to Associated Press, and I was in Chicago last month.
I didn't get an inkling of this, but here's today's news.
A public Christmas festival in Chicago is no place for the Christmas story, according to the city government of Chicago.
The City Mayor's Office, uh, the Mayor's Office of Special Events, to be precise, one Cindy Gazziolis, uh, has asked the organizers of a downtown Chicago Christmas festival called the German Christkindl Market,
hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, to reconsider using a movie studio, New Line Cinema, as a sponsor to reconsider using this movie studio as a sponsor of the event because the mayor's office is worried that ads for the new line cinema film, quote, the nativity story, unquote, ads for the film.
Forget the first amendment, forget forget everything here.
Ads for the film, the nativity story might, might offend non Christians.
Now, first of all, I understand it, I haven't been there.
First of all, I understand that this is an event put on by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest.
The festival has already started.
Uh this is uh apparently uh the studio uh New Line Cinema is going to spend twelve grand in Chicago as part of their national advertising campaign for this uh release of uh rather well-timed movie for the Christmas period, the Nativity Story.
Uh now there is no word whether the uh German Christkindle market will back off or not.
But uh Paul Brodakus, a spokesman for the Willow Creek Association, a group of more than 11,000 churches of various denominations, says, quote, why, the last time I checked, the first six letters of the word Christmas still spell out Christ.
He says the mayor's position is tantamount to celebrating Lincoln's birthday without talking about Abraham Lincoln, which is exactly what this is.
Now, look, uh ladies and gentlemen, and this is in an ad in the uh New York Times today.
The uh Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has an ad in the Times today, which says, celebrate diversity, celebrate Christmas.
The ad goes on to say the United States is eighty-five percent Christian, which means the United States is more Christian, then India is Hindu.
Then Israel is Jewish.
Moreover, ninety-six percent of Americans celebrate Christmas.
So why, says the ad, are we tippy toeing around the religious meaning of Christmas every December?
The ad goes on to say there is something sick about friendship trees, winter solstice concerts, holiday parades, and the holiday festivals.
The neutering of Christmas extends to the banishment of nativity scenes from the public square, the expulsion of baby Jesus from Cresh not otherwise forbidden, the banning of red and green at school functions, the censoring of silent night at municipal concerts, etc.
etc.
It is madness.
It is madness.
You cannot believe in diversity without believing that Christians have uh every right to the public display of their uh celebration of the birthday of Jesus Christ.
So uh Chicago, please.
Uh can we just get a little common sense rather than the muddled, mush-headed political correctness that you have so far in the mayor's office.
Mayor Daly, come on.
You're a squared away guy.
Stand up to this stuff.
It is complete nonsense.
And the Nativity Story, by the way, is a good movie.
All right.
Now, you know, California, we like to promote movies.
Big part of our third world uh economy out here in California.
The by the way, this war against religion is going on in so many fronts.
I just want to pop one more at you.
I don't want to make this the whole show, but it just it just kind of gripes me.
It really does.
Because I say Merry Christmas to everybody starting the day after Thanksgiving.
It's not Black Friday to me, it's the beginning of the Christmas season.
You can call it what you will.
You can respond to me, happy Kanza.
You can go on and on about whatever you want to go on about.
I am going to exercise my First Amendment right to say to you, Merry Christmas.
By the way, I'm sure you're familiar with the phrase in God We Trust, a motto of the United States for a long time, the official national motto since 1956, and a familiar site on United States coins and currency.
Gonna get harder to find on the next round of coins.
Yep, the government is still at it trying to get us to carry a heavy one dollar coin.
When is this bad idea going to ever be put in the grave it deserves?
First it was Saka Jawea, and then it was, I don't know, what a woman before that was on a coin somewhere.
Uh I just uh Susan B. Anthony was a failure.
Sacajawea was a failure if I'm pronouncing that correctly, you know, uh the Lewis and Clark woman.
And this this whole thing.
Now they're going to go, okay, you didn't swallow those.
How about Washington, Jefferson, and uh and Monroe, the founding fathers on coins.
Big bulky dollar coins.
Uh no, thank you.
Uh but even worse, in God we trust is now not on the coin face or on the obverse.
It's along with E. Pluribus Unum, Latin for out of many one, uh, another uh uh national motto of some fame, along with that and the year of the coin, all of that is now going to be on the rim of the coin.
I don't know about you, I have pretty good eyesight, but looking at the rim of this coin of fake metal uh heavy that I'm gonna carry in my pocket for a dollar.
Unbelievable.
How many bad ideas are still circulating?
Uh, too many as far as I'm concerned.
Some of these have to be put to rest.
Uh by the way, the costs of the twelve days of Christmas is a popular annual uh exercise, you know, the twelve days of Christmas, the partridge and a pear tree and the drummers and all the rest of that.
Um no, no, we will not play the music.
I know it drives me nuts, too, as much as I'm into Christmas.
That particular song, that's another one that ought to be put to a you know back of the folder.
The cost of the 12 days of Christmas is on the rise, 3.1% more than last year.
Let's see, the total cost of items gifted by a true love, who repeats all the song's incessant verses, costs more than ever before.
75,012 for all 364 items.
Uh one of the reasons, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, and thank God the Democrats have been elected, because of course this is a direct result of the election of Democrats to the House and the Senate, that the wages for the skilled workers involved in the 12 days of Christmas, the songs dancers, the musicians, the wages have dramatically increased.
Um the the you know, the cost of gold rings may have gone down a tad.
The um let's see, which ones went up.
The uh prices for the partridge, the two turtle doves, the three French hens, the six geese and seven swans, remained about the same as last year.
Uh futures and carcasses are not uh, you know, up, you know, on the meat market.
But higher wages made the Lords of Leaping, Ladies Dancing and Piper's Piping, much costlier.
The nine ladies dancing, four percent up.
Uh the Lord's a leaping, three percent up.
Drummers drumming, piper's piping, three point four percent up a week from uh from a year ago.
Uh Not all the labor prices, though, not everybody, not all boats are floating up on this higher tide.
Not everybody has got the advantage from this Democrat sweep the working people of this country.
Not all.
Not all.
Some have been left behind.
The maids of milking, for example, made just the federal minimum wage, $5.15, as they did last year.
Now, of course, the Democrats are going to fix that.
Maids of milking will be more expensive next year.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, in for Rush Limbaugh, 1-800-282-2882.
And I want to get, oh, there's another there's another date coming up I want you to be aware of this week.
The hurricane season ends Thursday.
What's the left going to do now?
If you saw the propaganda movie An Inconvenient Truth, fronted by formerly the next president of the United States, Al Gore.
The movie opens with scenes from Hurricane Katrina slamming into New Orleans.
And the former vice president is stating thundering that because of global warming caused by your SUV.
It is all but certain that future hurricanes will be more violent, more destructive than those in the past.
Back in May, in all the newspapers, the meteorologists were unanimous.
The 2006 tropical storm season running from June 1 through Thursday would be a doozy.
It would be the worst yet.
The 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons broke many records.
Forecasters predicted 15 named storms, nine or ten making it to hurricane strength, four or five of those major and hitting the United States.
One in ten uh citizens of the United States slammed by the effects of major hurricanes as global warming reactivated the cycle of uh serious hurricanes.
Uh well no.
Uh as it turns out, the um this was the first season since 1997 that the Gulf of Mexico suffered only one storm and it never got anywhere.
No category four or five storms formed, no hurricanes hit the United States at all.
None.
What are they going to say now?
Global warming has stopped the natural cycle of hurricanes.
Something must be done.
What are they going to say?
Because Al Gore was saying an inconvenient truth, get ready.
The United States is going to be destroyed by hurricanes because of your SUV.
Just the opposite happened.
I'm not surprised, are you?
I'm Roger Hedgecock, in for Rush Limbaugh, back with your call after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush Today.
Now I have an answer to my own question.
Uh what next for the uh global warming fanatics who have elevated their belief in global warming to religious status, by the way.
Uh it is now a litmus test.
It is a test of faith rather than any kind of appeal to uh science, and I don't need to get too far into this except to give you this example, because here's my answer to my own question.
What next for the global warming fanatics?
Listen to this.
The Supreme Court of the country has taken a case which argues it is a case, by the way, brought by a group of 12 states, including New York and Massachusetts and 10 others.
States suing the federal government to include, they want the Supreme Court to order the federal government to include carbon dioxide as a pollutant to list carbon dioxide as a pollutant to be regulated under federal clean air laws.
now for those of you who recently were in high school let me go over just for a second uh CO2, carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas.
It is what you exhale every time you breathe.
Every animal on the planet that breathes exhales CO2.
CO2, of course, is what plants take in and convert to oxygen.
It is as natural a phenomenon on our planet as any other elementary component, building block of life on Earth.
Now we're going to, according to these twelve states, be better off if the federal government regulates it as a pollutant.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, what does that mean?
You're going to uh breathe less, uh cows are going to have less flatulence.
I don't know exactly what this means.
What kind of federal regulation do they have in mind?
Well, it didn't matter to the New York Times this morning.
Their lead editorial was that the Supreme Court should uh in fact should in fact, based on the evidence of global warming, regard CO2 as an air pollutant.
Because the Clean Air Act requires the EPA, the environmental protection agency of the federal government, to set standards for, quote, any air pollutant, unquote, that in its judgment causes or contributes to air pollution.
Wow.
Breathing itself will become a regulatory concern of the federal government.
If that happens, ladies and gentlemen, can I just tell you that in my opinion, you no longer live in a free country?
For whatever good reason, the federal government decides that breathing is a regulatory is an activity to be regulated by the federal government.
You do not live in a free country.
So it that one, you know, you say which one crosses the line in the erosion of our civil liberties.
That's it.
Now there is, by the way, there's a school of thought.
That the absence of hurricanes during this hurricane season, the complete 180 degree reversal of the year before in terms of dangerous hurricanes, the Katrina year, that the absence of it, of course, again, owes itself to the ascendancy of the new Democrat majority.
Because now people who know that we have to meet the crisis of global warming head on have caused Mother Nature to step back from the brink of destroying humanity and give us one last chance to regulate our breathing and to do whatever else is necessary in order to produce a more livable planet.
Yikes.
Let's take a call.
Mark in Bantam, Connecticut.
You're on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, Mark.
Hello, Roger.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Um just imagine what uh intolerant barbarians we would look like if an American elected official uh chose not to show the life of Mohammed because he thought it might uh infuriate some people.
It might offend someone.
We couldn't show that nonsense.
Uh we those are protected.
Those folks are protected.
Everything they do is protected.
They're protected if they get on planes and shout Allah and sit near all the exits and uh disturb the whole plane.
Uh they're entitled to call the rest of us who question that Islamophobes.
I mean, give me a break here.
There's no question that there is a war on against Christianity and the elites of this country are in on it.
Well, sir, you know, I do have a solution, though.
Oh, good.
Um we show the nativity movie in Spanish.
Nobody can say anything.
Mark, you've become an unofficial advisor to the Limbaugh Institute with that comment.
That comment alone shows that you are in the uh upper echelon of people who appreciate exactly what the message uh of reality is here on the uh on the program.
Mark, thank you for the call.
Isn't that right?
Put it in Spanish, and then what are you going to do?
Discriminate against Hispanics?
Hell no.
Uh 1-800-282-2882, Allison in Greenleaf, Kansas is next on the show.
Hi, Alison.
Hi, Roger.
Yeah, you're my next favorite to listen to when uh when I can't listen to Rush.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Anyway, I guess I just am getting very, very frustrated with people's misinterpretation of the Constitution in relation to religion because everybody is always protecting Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment, but nobody is protecting the Congress shall uh make no law prohibiting the free exercise.
And that's what they've done is they've taken away our free exercise.
Yeah, the establishment clause has trumped the free exercise clause, no question about it.
You put your finger right on it.
I had to fight this here because we had a big cross in a war memorial up on Mount Soledad in La Jolla.
Right.
And we had to fight all the way to getting Bush's signature to make it part of a national war memorial chain to keep the uh the ACLU from literally literally.
This is what they had at they had a federal court order to tear down a cross on public property in uh because of the establishment clause.
So you're absolutely right.
Question is how do we fight it?
Like I'm a county commissioner, and they've never put a nativity scene on our court square, and I'm ready to do it.
You go and do it, Alison.
I'm running out of time, but you go do it.
You take action, you take responsibility.
Every town in this country's got to do this.
Set up your nativity scene, demand respect for the Christian religion if you are Christian, uh demand the kind of diversity that the left always talks about that respect be a two-way street.
That's what the Pope is saying in Turkey today.
We'll have more on that later.
It's above my pay grade to even understand how the Iraq study group, this blue ribbon committee, can with a straight face ask our president, our government, our country, to talk with Iran and Syria to solve the violence caused by Iran and Syria for in a large measure in Iraq.
How does that work?
Dealing with Iran's Islamo fascist regime when uh uh Mahmood, Ahmadinejad, I guess it's Tom or something and translated, uh says uh that, well, we'll talk with you.
In fact, he said the other day, talk about the arrogance.
Listen to listen to these words and give me your visceral, your emotional reaction, much less your your logical reaction, to these words.
Because they made me want to punch the guy in the face.
Here is, you know, j I think and I think that's my normal reaction.
I don't often have that, but listen to these words.
Quote.
Iran is ready to help and save you.
He's talking to America now.
Help and save you on the condition that you resume behaving in a just manner and avoid bullying and invading.
And then he went on to predict the destruction of the U.S. and Britain.
He said, quote, the collapse and crumbling of your devilish rule has started, unquote.
And then, as if he hadn't had enough of his arrogance and BS, he went on to say that with regard to Israel, the Jewish state was fast headed, quote, toward collapse and disgrace, unquote.
Now, I don't think you have to be a Secretary of State to understand that talking to people with that attitude is not exactly going to produce results conducive to a just peace.
They are not for democracy in Iraq.
They are for the imposition of Islamo fascist tyranny.
Syria is not for democracy in Iraq.
They have been funneling, training uh uh Hezbollah, funneling money into Hezbollah.
Iran and Syria have a uh a pact.
They are funneling money and training, according to the U.S. military, up to 2,000 fighters uh from Hezbollah to be injected into and cause more violence in Iraq.
And we're going to talk to these people?
Yep.
That's what Jimmy Carter says, and here's how he says it.
This is one of the most uh counterproductive policies that I've ever known is not to talk to the people who disagree with you unless they agree in advance to everything you demand.
Well, I I guess we should demand that um the destruction of Israel not be a prerequisite to talk to uh Tom or Mahmoud, whatever his name is.
Uh I I don't know that uh uh we're demanding that they do anything except help us.
By the way, I think uh Bush is in danger of being boxed in a physical location.
He is committed to a December seventh summit in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to talk about the United Nations pact, and it's an economic free trade pact between Iraq and its neighbors, brokered by the United Nations.
And the idea was uh on this economic side to come up with a compact process that would bring the neighbors of Iraq into a free trade agreement that would help the economy there to support the government.
The delegations will be there from Syria and Iran.
I think that uh just maybe it's just me, that the State Department is going to set Bush up for a uh inevitable meeting in which he will have to shake hands with Tom with Mahmoud, and with uh Assad, the uh dictator of um of Syria, who uh at this moment, as we speak, is trying to topple the government of Lebanon and annex it to what he calls greater Syria.
Good grief.
If only spoke Germany could say Leban's Rom uh as uh Hitler did about moving into Austria.
Leban's Rom.
We need living room.
So we're moving into Austria and Czechoslovakia, and then it's peace in our time.
I mean, here we go again.
I still think this sounds like, feels like I wasn't there, but from history that I read, 1938-39.
Talk to our enemies.
Um Jimmy Carter has never been right in a foreign policy decision he made.
I I defy anyone to name a foreign policy decision or position or policy or utterance of the former president, Jimmy Carter, that has yet been right.
He was wrong in Korea.
He was wrong in Nicaragua.
He was wrong in Iran.
He was wrong everywhere he turned.
He was wrong in Afghanistan until he finally said, Wow, why those why those Russians fool me?
I don't get it.
Okay, anyway, so there we there we go.
However, uh one thing now has become clear about Iraq, because uh NBC has now told us that Iraq uh is a um in fact uh well they treated it almost like a political event, an election result uh the the state uh of whatever going to a certain party.
This is how Meredith Vieira uh NBC today put it.
NBC News is now calling the conflict in Iraq a civil war.
They're calling it.
In other words, it's like Florida for Gore.
Uh this is uh, you know, this is they're calling the election.
It's now a civil war.
Boy, I'm glad we've uh clarified that.
Uh let's see, did they call Bosnia and Kosovo a civil war?
Uh they did they call what's going on, and by the way, the murder rate, whatever you hear, whenever you hear a story about Baghdad, about blowing up, about you know, today two car bombs went off in the entire country.
The murder rate in Baghdad, the people being killed in Baghdad, is lower than the murder rate of Washington, D.C. Is Washington, D.C. in a civil war?
NBC has not called it, so I dare not say.
But this is what we're getting now from the American media.
They're calling it a civil war.
Bush sticks by sectarian violence.
I don't care what you call it, there's no question there's violence.
So let's put a stop to it and kill the people who are being violent.
Uh, because we are at war.
Uh, hello.
Here's David in Montgomery, Alabama on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi, David.
Good afternoon.
How are you, sir?
Good.
And you.
Thank you very much for filling in for us and uh military diddos to you from all of us down here and uh certainly from all my friends over in the in the uh sands, so to speak.
I love it, and thanks for your service.
Thank you.
I I find it very interesting, real quick.
I find it very interesting that it seems like former President Carter seems to have more air time in his post-presidency than he ever had in his presidency, and uh it kind of leads into the fact that liberalism's greatest export has been frame the debate, don't care about the truth, just stay on message, and that's that's what they're gonna do here.
So we have not been better off that Carter has gotten this kind of um yeah, this kind of attention.
No.
I'm I'm I wanted to call you about the the uh issue about Christmas and everything surrounding it and how interesting that I find.
Uh in her book, Godless, if I may do the shameless uh promotion of and culture's book, Godless, uh, which I found awesome reading, by the way.
You you take a look at that, and you come away from that almost angry because you look at how so many liberals will get up on on their little stand and say something, make some speech, make talk about policy, talk about the downtrodden, then in the end they'll say, God bless the United States of America.
And, you know, God bless the troops.
And let's pray for those guys.
You know, if they want to talk their talk about separating everything out, you know what?
Stop trying to capture those arguments and basically get people to agree with you and see you as good because that's all they're using it for.
This is why I find them so hypocritical.
Not all of them, honestly, but this is why I find the greater majority of the left very hypocritical on the subject, and they won't lift a finger to stop the ACLU and they'll privately fund it, or they'll try to federally fund it, but at the same time they'll speak that way in public.
I couldn't add to it.
David, thanks again for being on the uh on the program.
Uh absolutely uh correct.
So uh there we are.
Uh today the Pope is in Turkey trying to preach uh the respect for diversity.
He says we respect the Muslims, but uh uh do you respect Christians?
And he really has a point, doesn't he?
Doesn't he really have a point?
Now, at the same time, at the same time, in the Maharishi Vedic city in Iowa, uh where the presidential primary will be held.
Meditator Stephen Cardinal believes that this little city in Southeast Iowa could alleviate all world strife.
Since its founding in 2001, this city, founded by hundreds of transcendental meditation practitioners, have meditated in unison, sending a wave of positivity across the globe.
The uh 500 meditators are now in a single building, meditating non-stop.
Simultaneous mass meditation creates a wave effect that calms the world, influences stock markets, decreases crime rates, and prompts positive societal behavior.
They are taking credit for the uh Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting record levels.
They are taking credit for uh anything good that happens.
Anything bad that happens, uh, it's just because you haven't meditated enough.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I'm open.
You see what I'm saying?
I am uh a champion of diversity.
I am open to uh all explanations of how we can solve the world's problems, even in Iowa, even uh by the Maharishi.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, in for Rush.
Back after this.
Possibly the worst basis for a poll, but but I'll bring it to you anyway.
Roger Hedgecock in for rush.
Quinnipiac University's thermometer reading, taken the week after the November 7 election, asked uh registered voters, 1600 and some, registered voters around the country, uh scientifically selected, probably to produce the result they wanted, but I I don't know, but uh and I don't mean to demean them, but here's the poll results.
They asked voters to rate their feelings for 20 named leaders of our country on a scale of zero to one hundred.
Their feelings.
Now, I don't know whether you think it's the best idea in the world to select a president based on your feelings.
I think it's probably suicide to do so, but that's just me.
So here is the Quinnipiac uh university finding out that uh when you talk about feelings, Rudy Giuliani is the most popular politician of either party in the United States.
He rated a 64.2.
Barack Obama and uh John McCain, two United States senators, considering, of course, and running for the presidency, finished next, Obama at 58.8%, McCain at 57.7.
So Giuliani, Obama, McCain, are the top three.
What's even more interesting is who comes after.
Condoleez Rice is fourth.
Feelings.
Condolisa Rice is fourth.
Former president Bill Clinton is fifth.
By the way, our former president, one of our former presidents, uh was also featured recently.
He gets around to every place.
Uh now that he doesn't have a job.
I mean, he just uh shows up.
He was on Sesame Street talking to uh is it Cammie, the HIV uh infected Muppet.
Uh And this is the exchange.
Do you tell everybody that it is okay to hug someone who is HID positive like me?
I sure do, Cammy.
What makes me vottle happy?
Give me a hug.
That line, give me a hug.
Give me a hug.
Yeah.
Anyway, okay.
So Clinton is fifth.
New York Senator Hillary Clinton scored ninth of the 20 leaders, a score of 49.
President Bush was 15th out of 20.
But inter and uh Nancy Pelosi was twelfth.
Senate Majority Leader Democrat Harry Reid, 19th out of 20.
Um.
But the last who came in last, dead last in a score on your feelings about 20 top leaders in the United States.
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the 2004 Democrat nominee, dead last in this poll.
Below George Bush, below Condoleez Rice, below John McCain, below Nancy Pelosi, below Democrat Harry Reed.
They're crazy.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
So that's the poll from Quinn and P. For what it's worth.
I thought it was kind of funny that Kerry bumped Pelosi off last in the popularity poll last year in this same poll.
Pelosi was last.
Now Kerry is last.
On the Rush Limbaugh program, his bill in Only Maryland.
Hi, Bill.
Roger.
Thanks for taking the call.
Yes, sir.
You're talking about the uh case that the wackos are trying to make about uh making CO2 a pollutant.
Yeah.
So it could be regulated.
Well, when I was carbon dioxide, go ahead.
When I was a young skullful of mush in the 70s, I thought the ice age was coming.
That was about the time they made us uh convert our cars to catalytic converters because it converted the dangerous carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, which was uh harmless.
And the other byproducts were water and sulfur, which is obviously the sulfur is what gave them this horrible smells, and uh I believe sulfur also contributes to acid rain.
Seems kind of odd that uh now the stuff that they inflicted on us is now uh something they want to regulate.
Well, of course, because the power was the the motive behind all of this, and I don't mean to be cynical, I mean to be factual.
I mean to look at the evidence and come to a rational conclusion.
And my rational conclusion based on that whole history of environmentalism and what they have imposed upon us in the name of a cleaner environment since the 1970s, is that the whole thing was never about the environment.
It was always about power, gaining power over you, your choice, your products, your life, your habits.
That's what they're after.
It's political power, and the excuse is we're gonna clean up the environment because everything they've done uh has had the kind of side effects that question whether we've cleaned up the environment.
Yeah, it's it's it's kind of odd that they uh just continue to go with the hypocrisy and no one seems to remember.
Well, uh, they listen to this program, they're gonna remember because I have a long memory about this stuff.
Hey, thanks for the call.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh.
Taking your calls at 1800-282-2882, and back with more right after the Welcome back, and I'm Roger Hedgecock, filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
By the way, on that uh Giuliani, the most popular politician in America per the new uh Quinnipiac uh survey, uh the German Marshall Fund of the U.S. is co-hosting a part of the conference in Riga, Latvia, where the NATO ministers are meeting right now.
And Giuliani is addressing that group today.
Kind of the president in waiting posture.
Rudy is running, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh Duncan Hunter, chairman for the next couple of days of the uh Armed Forces, Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives will join us after the top of the hour.
He actually has a solution to what we ought to do in Iraq now, given where we are now in Iraq, and I want to get to uh his call on uh that.
Uh the um and I've got a lot of stuff I want to do in the Democrats.
I want to talk about Walmart.
Uh, this may be happening in your uh community too.
We are today at the San Diego City Council debating whether or not to ban super centers in the uh city of San Diego, in other words, to prevent the City of San Diego shopper from having access to cheaper food.
Now, the same City Council members in San Diego, this may be happening in your community, who rant on and on about the living wage, about the unfairness of the wage structure, about the working poor, and they go on and on and on like that.
But when it comes to a private sector company providing cheaper food and cheaper prescription drugs, uh uh we gotta ban it.
