Time Text
Okay, you people, time to unify the divided with common sense, reason, and enlightenment, and I am just the guy to do it.
That's right, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
The fastest week in media.
Here at Alberty is Thursday.
And I'm great to have you with us, my friends.
Glad to be with you.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882, and the email address rush at EIB net.com.
You know, I really don't want to talk about the Iraq Study Group report.
I really don't want to talk.
I looked at it, I've read some of it.
It is the dullest pile of steamy nothing of the year, maybe of the decade.
It is absolutely worthless.
And I see all this talk about how this thing is, it climbed from number 4,013 on the Amazon bestseller list up to number 18 yesterday.
You people buying this thing deserve to waste your money.
You can get this thing as a 196 PDF file, 196-page PDF, I think it's 196 pages.
Whatever, it's a PDF file.
Go to the New York Post website, download the PDF.
Any number of uh websites have the PDF.
If you want to go buy the stupid thing, go right ahead.
Waste your money.
It's not worth the paper it was printed.
I don't even want to talk about it, but we're gonna talk about it because some things do need to be said about it.
Before we get to that, though, ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you, I saw Apocalypto last night, uh, the new Mel Gibson movie that I think it opens tomorrow.
It is a powerful, influential member of the media.
Many Hollywood people bring their movies by to my uh my house so I can screen them.
Uh it's the way I saw Passion of the Christ.
It's the way I saw United 93.
Uh and I saw Apocalypto last night.
I had a bunch of friends over to watch this thing.
Uh I think there were 14 of us there, uh evenly divided between men and women.
Now uh I did serve hot dogs, served uh uh well, served dinner afterwards, but I had some pigs in a blanket and a cheese tray and uh and some popcorn uh as the appetizer, serve filet mignon, uh roasted fingerling potatoes.
Uh all Allen Brothers, everything was Allen Brothers, even the dessert was Allen Brothers.
A uh caramel chocolate cake.
Uh stupendous.
Uh served a 1947 Chateau Petrouse, a 1945 Chateau Aubrion and 1961 Chateau Chevrolet.
Uh and for for the for the the sissies that wanted white wine, we had some Cortan Charlemagne from 2000.
Yeah, movies at my place are fun, but I gotta tell you, half the women walked out in the first thirty minutes of the movie.
I was describing the movie in great detail for uh for Dawn and Brian in there just before the program began, and I'm not gonna do that.
Uh no, no, no, Dawn wasn't there.
Dawn was not one.
No, no, no.
The the women that walked out, it look it, it's brutal.
I mean, there's there then there's no let up in it.
It's relentless.
It's it's it's it's it's bloody.
I mean, all the things that you've heard about it, uh, your expectations will be uh will be met.
But three of three of the women walked out, said too macho, just mucho macho, and I set them up in my other room so I can watch Peter Pan.
Um, in my library, I had them watch Peter Pan.
They didn't even watch it, of course.
They just sat there and talked for the two hours and ten minutes that the movie runs.
But I'll tell you, visually, it's beautiful.
It's the the uh image making in this in this movie is uh you know, I'm not a movie critic.
I just know what I like and don't like.
We were talking at dinner afterwards.
Would you recommend the movie to people?
It's that kind of um, and it's strictly because of the violence, and that it was one guy said the violence was totally unnecessary to telling the story.
Well, yeah.
Uh that's that's true.
I opined, you know, this is about a specific time in human history.
It's about the Mayans, and and uh if we're to believe Mel Gibson, this is how they lived.
This is this is how it was.
Um we are so much more civilized.
This is it it kind of feeds my theory that people alive today have no clue how tough life was for human beings, even a hundred years ago, much much less thousands.
No clue whatsoever.
Everything's so cushy uh today compared to those uh times in the past.
And by the way, there are still parts of the world where life is brutal every day, not cushy in any way, shape, manner, or form.
I've been to Afghanistan, not saying it's brutal there like it in the movie, but I'm just talking about uh uh no-paved roads, you know, have to walk 3,000 feet down a mountain.
I met a guy in Afghanistan has to walk 3,000 feet from his home on a mountain down to get water and take it up every day.
Now you might say, why don't you move down to where the water is?
Why would you live 3,000 feet away from the Well, I don't know, but that's that's just you know, didn't think it was my position to ask since I don't speak his language.
But that they do it.
Anyway, I'm getting I'm getting sidetracked.
The um the movies reviews that I've seen from people who've written about it use words like brutal, bloody, and audacious.
And it is all of that.
Uh but it's also a fabulous story.
It's uh it's tremendous story.
I just I it we were talking about whether or not to recommend this, um, and most of the people at Taylor, let me uh suggested that, oh yeah, I I think it's good.
I liked it.
I the number of people were saying I would recommend it.
I think a lot of people would enjoy seeing this movie.
I'll tell you who's going to enjoy seeing it is the young people who uh play video games every day that feature this kind of blood and gore and so forth uh that parents worry about them playing.
But it's it's gonna it's going to find an audience.
One of the things that uh Mel Gibson has said about this movie is uh that the human sacrifice storyline is an allegory for President Bush sending guys off to Iraq for no reason.
Now that that if th however many conservatives who are inclined to want to support Mel Gibson because of the passion of the Christ, how many of them hear that and are put off by it uh and decide not to go to the movie I I couldn't tell you.
Uh let me since he's referenced the uh human sacrifice storyline.
Uh it's about uh a good group of Mayans, innocent little villagers uh going about their day, trying to live their normal lives, killing uh boars and eating the hearts as they're still beating and that sort of stuff.
Uh and they're attacked by a renegade group uh that wants to take them back to the big village with the giant Mayan pyramid to sacrifice them to the gods.
These are pagans.
And uh there are a lot of beheadings and uh and chopped-off heads rolled down uh the sides of these pyramids to the thunderous applause and screaming cheers of the people below who believe that the gods are shining countenance on them by accepting these human sacrifices.
And then an eclipse occurs and it gets dark, and the uh main sympathetic character here's life is spared because the uh crowd believes, as do the elders of the town, that the gods have signaled via the eclipse that the quir uh th their their their thirst for blood has been quenched, and so the good guy is free, he thinks, to go back and rejoin his uh wife and son who he has hidden in a well back in the village when the original ransacking occurred.
Uh there is a scene of uh human childbirth in this movie that will I think that's probably what people are talking about when they use the word audacious.
But uh, you know, I've I've just got a couple emails from people who knew I was gonna watch it last night.
Would you recommend I see it?
I'd I tell you, I something like this.
Um I'd recommend everybody go see it.
If you can't handle it, walk out of it.
Uh it's I'll I'll tell you give you an analogy.
It wasn't as bad, or that's not the word.
It wasn't as bloody and gory and brutal as I thought it was going to be, simply because all I've read has led me to believe that that's all the movie is about.
And it's not.
Sort of like I was one of the last people to see The Exorcist back in the 70s.
And after hearing for two months how just over the top, scary and graphic and brutal this thing was, I walked into the theater and I was gripping the sides of the chair with my hands, and I thought I was I was prepared for something that didn't happen.
My expectations had been raised so high that the reality of the movie didn't meet them, because it'd been given all this hype, and I think there's a Lot of hype associated with the uh the gore, the blood, and the brutality of this movie.
It's there, but it's it's uh it's not present in every scene or nearly every scene.
It's uh but you're sitting on your chair waiting for it to happen in every scene because of what you've uh what you've read about it.
All right, we'll take a break here, we'll come back and we'll discuss the dullest pile of steamy nothing in the year, the Iraq surrender groups.
Stupid.
Liter Do you see the cover of the New York Post today?
Surrender monkeys.
Got a couple of monkeys, one faces James Baker, the other is Lee Hamilton.
Surrender Group advises nation to give up.
Uh, which is and the Democrats, of course, are applauding this.
They're just happy as they can be, uh, as we noted yesterday.
Soundbite's coming up as well.
There was a joint press conference today, Tony Blair and President Bush.
We have the relevant sound bites from there, plus lots of other news out there.
Sit tight, we'll be back and continue in una momentum.
Hi, yeah, back we are, Rush Limbaugh.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
America's real anchor man, serving humanity simply by showing up.
Here's a reason why I just I'm just reluctant to discuss this thing, folks.
Uh, here's here's one of the reasons why Katie Corick last night led her hapless newscast with the Iraq surrender group.
And she was just she was just breathlessly reporting the study.
Breathlessly, it was it was like it was like the second coming, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, she hit her lowest ratings since taking the anchor chair last night.
ABC beat her four to one in Chicago.
She was beaten three to one in Philadelphia.
ABC doubled her ratings in New York City, and she led with the dullest pile of steamy nothing of the year.
Now I realize my ratings are immune to that kind of cellar-dwelling position that she has earned.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, but still we are we have an obligation here.
I know many of you people look to this program for guidance and enlightenment and for proper perspective on these controversial events, and that you shall get today.
Um I've heard people lamenting.
This is funny.
I've heard people all over the media today uh commentary uh about this being December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day.
So many people today have no idea what Pearl Harbor Day means or what its significance is.
And I said, Why are you surprised?
Who could be surprised by this?
Most people don't remember 9-11 and what its significant was.
So how in the hell are we gonna expect people to remember December the 7th?
December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day.
No, the big day in American history was yesterday, December 6th, Baker Hamilton Day.
Grab the talk to the animals parody up there, Mike.
I'm gonna be calling for that here in mere moments.
One of the silliest notions in this in this uh surrender report is talking to our enemies.
And I mentioned this yesterday.
Baker, no, we talked to the Soviet Union for 40 years.
Yeah, and we also deployed Pershing nuclear missiles, tipped Pershing missiles in uh in Europe, as well as spent them into oblivion because we were taking them on.
It was Reagan idealism that prevailed over the Soviet Union and the evil of Soviet communism.
These people are running around talking about the new realism.
The new realism.
It's bureaucrats speak.
It's nothing but elitist hogwash.
Realism, pragmatism, uh consensus, bipartisanship.
It's all bunk.
First place, there's nothing wrong with partisanship.
Bipartisanship means that somebody had to cave, and guess who caved?
It was our side that caved on this, because this document uh pretty much in fact the Democrats there run around saying they're accusing the Commission of plagiarism in a sense essentially.
They're running around saying, Well, we're happy to see they took our ideas.
Well, most of these ideas in this uh in this surrender group report are ours.
Pelosi's out there saying it, reads out there saying it, stop short of this gang because they didn't take John Merth's idea of cut and run.
They specifically reject that.
But this notion of talking to our enemies.
Uh The West and the United Nations.
We've been talking to Iran for what now on the on their nuclear program.
Three years?
If it's three years, it's six.
I mean, how long have we been talking to them?
And the result is what?
They are three years closer to nukes.
We're going to talk to them next month.
They're going to be a month closer to nukes.
We're going to talk to them another six years.
They're going to be six years closer to nukes.
Oh, yeah.
But we can do this in a bipartisan fashion, and we can make everybody feel better, and we can make people think that we're going to get along with these people because we can go talk to them.
Well, how about going back into time, turning back the pages of history, and looking at another time in American history with a talk to the enemy result?
The day before Pearl Harbor, Baker Hamilton Day, 1941.
That would be December 6th.
By the way, I'm going to make a motion that all of these calendars that you go out and buy, either on your computer or at the bookstore, whatever, have an official notation now, December 6th, Baker Hamilton Day.
Just Baker Hamilton Iraq Surrender Group Study Day.
Put it on the calendar to make it official.
It's one of the biggest days in American history, judging by the way.
It's the biggest day in American history in their lives, certainly.
But going back to December 6, 1941, in the afternoon, Japan sent the first segments of a 14-part message to its embassy in Washington.
And the instructions were ordering the Japanese ambassador to present final demands to the United States at 1 p.m.
Washington time tomorrow, December 7th.
The message is intercepted and decoded by the U.S. Navy's cryptographic department, Lieutenant Commander Alvin Kramer.
He shows the message to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who reads the document and said, This means war.
He then immediately sends a personal message to Japan's Emperor Hirohito, attempting to open dialogue.
Attempting to talk to the enemy.
Wants to start negotiations afresh.
The message from FDR to Hirohito reached Tokyo after a long delay, which was caused by the Japanese state telegraph agency.
U.S. ambassador to Japan, Robert Grew passes it on to the foreign ministry and asks for an immediate audience with the Emperor.
Prime Minister Hidaki Tojo denied the American request.
But FDR wanted to talk to the Japanese, wanted to talk to the Japanese, wanted to talk to them, which is solved the problem, started negotiations anew, but Toho said.
Uh-uh.
Not interested.
I'm not Japan bashing here.
I'm just trying to give you a little reality check on the Baker Hamilton cliche diplomacy.
And the one group, the one country that the group wants no involvement in any discussion over there is Israel.
This plan, if it were implemented, and if it ever happened, can only succeed if Israel sold out.
The right of return basically is endorsed by this idiot bunch of people.
Which would allow the Palestinians to head home and claim what they claim was theirs prior to 1948, Jerusalem and everything else.
It's it's um this is a political statement.
Here's the tune, folks.
Time is dwindling, and I gotta get this tune in.
This is a song accompanying the release of the surrender group study report yesterday.
We got bipartisanship, folks, and we got consensus.
And it's so good to bring Washington together because Lord knows the American people crave Washington getting along with itself.
Back in mere moments.
You've asked for it.
And I feel it today, so here it is.
Manheim steamroller Christmas bump time has arrived on the EIB network.
Lake effects snows in the Midwest.
The Steelers and Browns Tonight on the NFL network with wind chills of zero degrees thanks to temperatures of 25 degrees and a 30 mile an hour wind and snow.
They're playing the game on a muddy field in Pittsburgh.
It's Christmas time.
Greetings, my friends.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity here on the EIB network.
Let me share with you the words of Bill Bennett writing at National Review Online about the Iraq surrender group.
This he says I've heard again and again at the press conference and on subsequent interviews, variants of this is how a commission should work in Washington.
This has been great bipartisanship.
It's too bad we can't operate this way more.
If any message is to be sent, it's the message that five Republicans and five Democrats of goodwill sat down since March and put together a remarkable document.
That's the those are some of the things being said about this embarrassment and abomination of a report.
And as uh as uh Uncle Bob's brother Bill says, this is the triumph of the therapeutic, where bipartisanship, a little hug across the aisle, has become a higher value than justice.
The crisis of the house divided has been inverted.
We no longer are worried about the crisis, but the house.
The moral, the good and the just take a back seat to collegiality.
Does history really give a hoot about bipartisanship?
Who cares whether they're getting along?
Show me the book in the library.
Great bipartisanship in American history.
Sure, where does it happen?
The task is to do the right thing, especially in a war.
But when relativism is the highest value, agreement becomes the highest goal, regardless of right or wrong.
And woe to those who disagree.
They will be sent whence they came, the outer reaches of extremism.
This is the tyranny of the best people.
Today's equivalent of the Cliveden set.
One reporter asked if the president would accept this edict.
This was Danabash at CNN.
We talked about this yesterday, exhibiting a total lack of understanding of how the Constitution is set up.
Mr. Bennett concludes, in all my time in Washington, I have never seen such smugness, arrogance, or such insufferable moral superiority.
Self-congratulatory, full of itself, horrible.
You want to hear some great lines from this report?
Try this.
Recommendation number 19.
The president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership.
Wow.
We need that that's recommendation number 19.
There are 79 recommendations in this thing, and here's number 19.
The president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership.
Do you realize how fortunate we are to have such brilliant Republicans and Democrats on the surrender group to come up with that?
I mean, folks, this is special.
Not a one of us has the brain power, the intellect, the insight, the enlightenment, to ever conclude something this brilliant.
This is why this is why we need special people, my friends, who do not see the world in such simplistic terms, but rather see the world as a complex morass of gray and shades of gray, and only with their superior insight and uh intellect.
Can they conclude that the president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership?
Uh, would you like another one?
The support group should consist of Iraq and all the states bordering Iraq, and of course Iraq itself.
Now they had how long do they have to write this?
I've read that to you as it I've truncated it, but the support group should consist of Iraq and all the states bordering Iraq, and of course Iraq itself.
So Iraq is mentioned twice.
Um although Iran sees it in its interest to have the United States bogged down in Iraq, Iran's Interests would not be served by a failure of U.S. policy in Iraq that led to chaos and the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state.
Now, that that frankly is scary because that's exactly what Iran wants.
That's what they are trying to create.
This is this is this is what they are fomenting themselves.
This is unbelievable.
Although Iran sees it in its interest to have the U.S. bogged down in Iraq.
Now just take that and put it aside.
Iran wants to see us bogged down.
It's in their interest for us to be in chaotic circumstances.
Iran's interests would not be served by a failure of U.S. policy in Iraq that led to chaos and the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state.
Well, if anything is going to lead to the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state, it's going to be when we get out and the Iranians and the Syrians overrun the place.
Which they would love.
And yet the Iraq surrender groups no, no, no, no, no.
That's not what the Iranians uh are interested in uh here.
Um report on Syria and what Syria can expect to get if it pitches in and helps us solve the problem in Iraq, quote.
In exchange for these actions and in the context of a full and secure peace agreement, the Israelis should return the Golan Heights with sustainable negotiations leading to a final peace settlement which would address the key final status issues of borders, settlements, Jerusalem, the right of return, and the end of conflict.
So what we are prepared to offer, sir, what this group wants to offer Syria for their help is Israel.
This document sells Israel out, our lone ally, and by the way, they are not invited to be part of the international support group to um discuss the circumstances there.
Yes, Mr. Studder, program observer has a question.
Uh, what's the question?
Make it brief.
Uh I. Uh Mr. Schnurley's question is an obvious question, it's very logical question, a question that many of you are no doubt uh asking.
Uh what was the question again?
It's uh uh what the hell are they trying to do excluding Israel?
I uh it is clear uh to me that uh several members of this study group think that uh Israel is the problem.
But you have to ask well Mark Stein addressed that, by the way.
He's uh he did it very well here.
Uh for the Baker group to endorse this clapped-out pan-Arabism is disgusting.
An Arab-Israeli peace, what does that mean?
What exactly is Israel doing to Iraq or Tunisia or Qatar or any other Arabs except those in the Palestinian territories?
To frame it in those terms is to adopt the pathologies of the enemy.
Shame on Baker, Hamilton, and all the rest.
And this is this is exactly right.
Israel is being portrayed as the problem here, and that's the there's an undertone in this document that pretty much uh leads me to believe that many of the group feel this way, or the staff, whoever wrote this thing.
But that Stein's right.
What what's Israel doing to Saudi Arabia?
What's Israel doing to Qatar?
What's Israel doing to Dubai?
What's Israel's doing nothing to anybody?
What's Israel doing to Iran?
What's Israel doing to her?
What's Israel got to do with this at all?
Jimmy Carter could have written this.
Jimmy Carter could have done the press conference yesterday.
This is right out of the Jimmy Carter brain, such that it still is.
Jeff in San Francisco, you're first on the phones today.
Welcome to the program.
Hello, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
It is so good to have you on the radio, man.
I can't tell you.
I'm calling basically about Leon Panetta.
Leon Panetta's comments.
He lectures the president, and he says the president understands that we have to be we have to we can't be divided.
Yeah, he told the president that uh Mr. President, country's divided on this.
We can't have that.
And the Democrats spent the last two years on the direction of Nancy Pelosi on a take no prisoners, oppose the president, oppose everything that the administration tried to do for success in Iraq.
And now to come out and say the president is responsible for us being divided.
Well, that's exactly right.
No, no, no.
From Panetta's standpoint, Pelosi's standpoint, from Reed's standpoint, from their arrogant condescending smugness standpoint, they're exactly right.
You know, bipartisanship simply means Republicans cave on their core principles and agree with Democrats.
That's why but he's praising a stupid report.
Because there's nothing in this about winning.
There's nothing in this about victory.
There isn't anything in this uh about uh about moving forward in a positive way.
This is this is cut and run surrender without the words.
I know, and it and they took nine months and they came up with 79 ridiculous suggestions.
If they were serious in their their dealings, they would have come up with one, two, three big ideas.
Well, wait that will help us win.
You gotta under these people are serious.
This is I'm uh uh they they they did what they think is the best work they could have done.
They've come up with what they think are the smartest recommendations available.
Now, I'm I'm not trying to be funny here.
I I want you to understand who these people are.
They are not the best and brightest, but they themselves think so.
Uh how how uh who who with any humility at all could write recommendation 19?
It's important for the U.S. uh president and his national security team to remain in constant contact with Iraq.
What what I would be embarrassed to put that.
That's something that a junior high school essayist on a final exam might throw in, or a Miss America pageant contested who wants to be Miss America on an agenda of world peace.
But this is absurd.
This is this is actually embarrassing.
This is what passes for the best and brightest, and those people think they are.
As to as to uh Pelosi and Reed and the Democrats dividing the country, you're absolutely right.
They have uh but but the and but they say it's Bush's fault because Bush isn't them.
Bush isn't listening to them.
In order to understand liberals, and I know you do, Jeff, because you are surrounded by them out there, by the way.
How's the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies today?
Uh at the bus stops.
What you have to understand, folks, is that there is arrogance.
It is a pompous arrogance and condescension.
Liberals are so arrogant and pompous and condescending, they will not even deign to discuss these things with people, because it's beneath them to do so.
If you don't have the smarts to understand it, you're not worth talking to.
Instead, they'll call you names.
So they do.
I I'm looking.
When they tell you, when Panetta tells you that uh says that the country is divided and it's up to Bush to do something about it, Panetta's being genuinely honest.
It's up to Bush to adopt Democrat ideas to get rid of this divide.
That's how they think.
I gotta run.
Be back with much more after this.
Stay with us.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Hope you get everything you want, and then some.
We're here at 800-282-288-2, Rush Limbaugh, and this from the Washington Post, just to illustrate what I was just saying.
The story here from hundreds of sources, panel forged consensus, intense talks bridged ideological divide.
Uh, this is written by uh Peter Baker, Robin Wright, and Daphne Lindzer.
And there's only one relevant paragraph in here to make it clear to you how the Washington intelligence of the elites, the liberals look at this.
Whether the end result will prove meaningful is another question.
A plan emerging from the middle invariably unsettles those at either end who view it as wholly inadequate.
Even some of the authors of the surrender group report consider the report released yesterday a messy compromise, as one put it.
But the story, the story of how a little nose, little noticed commission created by our glorious Congress, evolved into a political powerhouse and a symbol of national unity, harks back to a different time.
When for better or worse, wise men advised presidents and shaped policy.
I know it's a total loadable.
This but this they're this is what they're having orgasms over, folks.
This to them, I'm telling you, maybe this is the way you people of Rio Linda will understand this.
This report and everything that came to be out of it, how it got put together is better than sex.
I'm telling you, this these people are just going nuts over this.
Because it harks back to a better time when wise men, I can tell you they're talking about Averill Harriman, uh uh um Cyrus Vance, uh Theodore Thorenson, Robert McNamar, and all these others were advising brilliant Democrat presidents.
The wise men.
Um you see it, Bill Bennett is right.
This is not this is not even about the policy.
This is about national unity.
This is about reaching across the aisle for a few hugs, maybe a little smack here or there, and it's therapy.
These people just engaged in therapy.
They basically had a nine-month 12-step program here for how to make themselves feel better during times of crisis resulting from partisanship.
It just frustrated.
That's that's as far as I should go here within the bounds of language that doesn't get to the profane.
Who's next?
Justin, Casper, Wyoming.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hey, right.
Hey, I I just want to tell my wife now she doesn't have to get me anything for Christmas, because this is the best president right here.
Oh man, has she lucked out?
Hey, and uh before I tell you my point, I just like to tell my mom happy birthday in Cat in Gillette.
She's today's her birthday on Pearl Harbor.
So you have any you what about what about your you have a brothers or sisters?
I have one sister, an older sister, yeah.
Well, wish her happy birthday in advance.
There's no guarantee you're gonna get back in on her birthday, wins her birthday.
Her birthday's on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day.
Well, St. Patrick's Day, Pearl Harbor, you just need to have your own kid born on Baker Hamilton Day, December 6th.
Yeah.
You'll have every nature and national holiday wrapped up that matters.
Oh man.
Well, my point was uh I think Congress ought to try a new commission.
They ought to dump this report in the trash and try again.
They this time I think they ought to get all the NFL coaches in the NFL together and ask them to come up with a plan.
Because uh, I think those guys know how to win.
That's that's why they're hired is to win, and they don't care about the press, they don't care about anything but the score at the end of the day.
And if if Baker was an NFL coach, I'd fire him.
Yeah, uh you're right.
Good point.
I've never heard an NFL coach talk about consensus.
Uh with the enemy or with uh opposing factions on the team or uh or anything else.
Justin, thanks for the call.
Merry Christmas.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Joe Biden's upset.
Uh presidential candidate, Democratic Party, Senator from Delaware, very upset that his idea of partitioning Iraq was not uh included in the surrender group's uh report.
Fundamental mistake is the report fails to address the fundamental question of getting the Iraqis to stand together.
Uh with just sour grapes and not taking up uh his plan.
