Time Text
Hi folks, nice to have you.
Rush Limbos, surfing humanity.
Your highly trained broadcast specialist on the case.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly in a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations daily.
That is no mean feat.
Try that.
800 282-2882 and rush at EIBNet.com is the email address if you'd like to go that way.
Now, this this next story, folks, classic illustration of that which I was ranting about in the uh in the previous hour.
Citing stress.
School stops publishing honor roll.
It's from Needham, Massachusetts, a Massachusetts Scrual's decision has brought about mixed feelings from the community.
Needham Haskrule has abandoned its long-standing practice of publishing the names of students who make the honor roll in a local newspaper.
Principal Paul Richards said a key reason for stopping the practice is its contribution to students' stress level in this high expectations, high achievement culture.
Now hang on.
Stick with me on this because the real point is coming up.
The principal, Paul Richards, said that one parent with three children attending Needham High told him that publishing the honor roll is a constant cause of stress in her family.
According to that one parent, one of the three students routinely made the honor roll while the other two did not.
So one parent complained, the school bent over backwards.
They just fell, spine turned mush.
Oh, okay.
We want to make everybody happy.
We want to make everybody equal.
It's just too stressful for the students that don't make it.
Got a high achievement, high expectations, culture, and it's disappointing those who don't make their list in the paper.
And it's stressful.
You let me tell you something.
They used to publish the honor roll when I was in school in the paper, and I never made the honor roll because I hated school.
And I got on my parents, you know, they they were they were they were embarrassed for themselves because all their other f uh friends' kids were making the honor roll, but they were also more than that concerned with me.
And so their effort to get my name in the paper was an effort to get me to take things seriously and study harder.
Now look at how things have changed.
Some parent with three kids going to this school has two of them not make the honor roll.
And rather than go to those two and say, Well, you better start studying harder, she goes to the school saying, You're humiliating too in my killer.
I'm not a standpoint, you guys not publishing that.
And of course, the school says, oh, okay, well, whatever you want, lady.
Uh this school ought to announce they're not gonna they're gonna cancel keeping score of the basketball and football games the school plays in.
Maybe even, you know, cancel a football team, need them high, and cancel the basketball program, because not every student who wants to be on a team can be on the team.
And uh and the people, uh the kids that are on the team, I mean, they're big stars in school, and that's making the people not on a team feel like they're not as important and not as big.
And this this is this stuff is the you may think it's come on, Rush, it's isolated.
No, it's not.
This is as this is a trend, and it is taking place, and it's precisely because liberals are in po in in control of education institutions, and the exact wrong focus.
I told you about the story at the water volleyball game where this uh 26-year-old uh teacher was telling me and the whole group, I think we're pushing out kids too hard.
We're making them learn too fast and too much.
And I just and I'm listening.
I said, this what do you mean pushing them too hard?
People have to be pushed.
Nobody will realize their potential unless they are pushed.
Most people are not self-starters.
Most people don't have the drive and the desire to go out and be all they can be.
Everybody needs somebody behind them.
Everybody needs a teacher, everybody needs a mentor, everybody needs somebody inspiring them because few people know how to inspire themselves.
I'm one of the rare exceptions.
I'll inspire myself every day, long time have.
But most people are not that way.
And so we're gonna cave uh and have been caving for the longest time to the low expectations angle.
Here's what we need to do in Needham, Massachusetts.
Just just take this all the way.
Just cancel school.
For crying out loud, it's not just the people who are not making the honor.
There's some people who are not even close to making the honor roll, and how do you think they feel?
You know, it's it you're in an environment like school, it's it's obvious that some kids are going to be better than others, and they're gonna do better than others.
And if this school is allowed to continue, if any school is allowed to continue under this reality, then we're gonna have psychological problems throughout their lives for these kids.
So get to the root of the problem and let them all be dumb and uneducated and stupid.
That way you can make them all equally miserable failures.
Rather than recognizing high achievement and praising it and using it as something others ought to aspire to, we want to punish it.
Back into punishing achievement.
Here we go.
Thank you.
Need him one parent, folks.
One parent.
Dawn, can you imagine this happening at yours?
Could one parent get the honor roll or something like this canceled?
You say no.
I'll bet you'd be surprised.
Depends on who the parent is.
You couldn't probably.
Well, no, I think it back, Dawn could.
At any rate, uh Russia in March will start delivering nuclear fuel for a plant that it is building in Iran, the uh head of a state company in charge of the project said Monday.
Now I thought that uh Iran was a country rich in oil and uh in fuel.
Um the the head of the outfit here, Sergei Schmatko, said during a trip to Tehran that he and Iranian officials had discussed financial problems related to the competition.
I'm sorry, the completion of the nuclear plant in uh Iran's southern port of Boucher.
Uh Schmatko said his company would start preparations in January for nuclear fuel deliveries to Boucher and begin actual shipments in March, six months ahead of the physical launch of the Boucher nuclear reactor.
Sometimes, you know, does it just seem to you that the cold war is all of a sudden rekindling?
Uh there's a lot of scary stuff going on out there.
This I mentioned this earlier.
Uh a gathering of Holocaust deniers in Iran has touched off a firestorm of indignation Tuesday across Europe, where many countries have made it a crime to publicly disavow the Nazis' systematic extermination of six million Jews.
Uh David Duke, of course, out there saying that uh you couldn't possibly kill that money.
There weren't any gas chambers at these places.
Um David Duke, the Lone American welcome.
There are even some Jewish people at this thing who uh think Israel ought to not be where it is, and they've they're just obsessed with uh with uh with guilt.
Uh here's the thing.
I know, you know, the the world is reacting, but what's the world doing?
Here is Iran ramping up to nukes, here is Iran's president routinely threatening to wipe Israel off the map one way or the other.
And what does the world do?
Issues condemnations.
Tony Blair says, I'm shocked and surprised.
How could how could anybody how could anybody think this?
What what's your first clue, Tony?
Have you not been paying attention to this guy for the last two years when he's been running a show?
U.S. offers condemnations, State Department offers condemnations, shock and outrage all over the world, yip, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
You think shock and outrage statements are gonna intimidate people like those who attended the Holocaust didn't happen convention in Tehran?
You know, there's a there is a there's an anti-Semitism that is renewed around the world, particularly in Western Europe, the United Nations is the repository for anti-Semitism in the world today, and there is a passivity, not just in this country but around the world, to evil.
There is a fear of confronting it.
There is uh a an overall sense of guilt that says, hey, you know, they may have some legitimate grievances, and who are we to tell them they can't do what they want?
Who are we to tell them they can't?
When people are unwilling to um stand up for justice and what's right, when people are afraid to even say that there is such a thing as justice, when people are afraid to even proclaim that there is something that's right versus something that's wrong, when people are unwilling to even admit that something is evil.
Evil wins.
Uh The Baker Hamilton group wanted to talk with Iran and Syria.
In light of this, I wonder if they're still thinking we should go talk to Iran.
What possible benefit would there be?
Every time you negotiate with evil, evil wins, folks.
Evil is not to be negotiated with, it's not to be appeased, it's not to be accepted.
But a people who have become passive and a people who have become obsek accepting on the basis that, well, we're all peoples.
And we're all entitled to our opinions.
And we're all entitled to our views.
And who am I to say to somebody that they're wrong?
Uh I sense a festering pimple, a wart, if you will, uh, with more and more people aligning themselves on this side of the situation.
I'm just going to make a prediction to you like I did last hour.
Despite all this outrage expressed by world leaders and despite all these laws in Europe that say you can go to prison if you deny the Holocaust.
Uh this is going to now give uh fuel and energy to uh a militant Muslim population around the world to expand on this, uh to give it credence, to accept it, to give it the stamp of uh authority and approval.
And they're go this is not going to remain an isolated incident that just took place in Tehran.
As long as there are people who are afraid to stand up and call this for what it is, and to recognize it for what it is, and to be prepared to deal with it for what it is, then this is going to spread.
And the people behind spreading it are going to precisely take advantage of the passivity and the intimidation that they have created out there that allow themselves to continue to make these wild statements, to ramp up nuclear programs, to have arrangements with people like Hugo Chavez and the Chicoms and the Russians and so forth.
And meanwhile, we can sit there and say, well, you know, it's a new world today, and uh who are we to tell them they can't let Israel handle it or what have you.
Uh people I just I have a fear that there's just people don't want to be uncomfortable, and they'll sit around and say, eh, this stuff is never gonna let the Middle East blow it over.
It's just gonna happen over there.
It doesn't affect me.
I don't care about any of this.
I've got other things to do.
Blockbuster's gonna be busy Friday night, and I gotta be first in line.
Or uh or what have you.
Mark my words on this, folks.
This this Holocaust didn't happen convention.
You're gonna be hearing about it in expanded form.
Look at look at what I told you earlier this week about what's going on in Ukraine involving stem cells, embryonic stem cells.
And not just killing babies in the womb to get their stem cells.
They are killing babies after they are born.
I didn't give you half the details because it's so gruesome.
But tomorrow's morning update is going to be on that.
Uh here you have a circumstance, and I I ask, I wonder what Claire McCaskill and Michael J. Fox think of what's going on in Ukraine.
Because that's what they're advocating here.
Hardly much difference.
They want to go get embryos from uh or stem cells from embryos.
That's they they want to decide who lives and dies based on the convenience of the living.
And especially under a false premise, embryonic stem cells have shown zilch zero nada in any research ever.
Meanwhile, the evidence continues to pour in how adult stem cells are showing great promise.
I've got such a story somewhere here in the stack of stuff.
So you've got uh almost a mini Holocaust that's been reborn in Ukraine, and there are people all over the world eager to accept the benefits.
Oh my gosh, you know, I have a disease too.
Let me know if you find out anything after you've uh after you've killed those babies.
Uh what's going on in Iran and the uh the everyday now threat to wipe Israel off the map, and the civilized world just says we are outraged.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Ah, there we go.
A little Mannheim steamroller bump music for you.
Okay.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
All right, here's another example, ladies and gentlemen.
From the Cybercast News Service, Pentagon evangelism called national security threat.
Christian military officers who share their faith at work in the Pentagon pose a threat to national security, according to a group that advocates for religious neutrality in the media.
Uh sorry, military.
Yeah, uh religious neutrality in the military.
That's why we have to build separate religious facilities for Muslim soldiers.
Religious neutrality, who are these people?
Well, stand by.
I'll tell you, public displays of faith.
By high ranking military officers project an image of a Christian nation waging war on non-Christians, both inside and outside the United States according to the military religious freedom foundation.
Now who the hell are they?
And why does anybody care?
How does the military religious freedom foundation get any news coverage?
They're just a bunch of liberals, once again attacking the institution of the U.S. military.
The organization's president is a guy actually named Mikey Weinstein.
He said this created an international, I'm sorry, an internal national security issue every bit as great as the one we're fighting outwardly.
Listen to this quote.
The jihadists, the insurrectionists, everybody from the head of Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, they see us as invading American imperialists and crusaders.
Mikey Weinstein told a news conference in Washington, D.C. Weinstein is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, who has been critical of proselytizing at the academy, called for a investigation into several officers who appeared in a promotional video for a Christian organization while in uniform.
Does anybody uh you know the idea that?
Well, let me just ask you this question.
Go at this a different way.
How many of you identify right off the bat what is inherently wrong about this whole complaint?
You know, here's the thing, Mikey, and that's by the way, I'm not calling him Mikey to make it.
That's the name that's in the story, M I K E Y. Let me just tell you, Mikey, and all the other pacifists like you out there.
I personally don't give a rat's rear end what Hamas or Hezbollah or the Islamic Jihad or the Al Aqsa Martyr Brigades see in the United States military.
I don't care whether they like the U.S. military or not.
The goal of our military is not to make our enemies like us.
I can't believe I'm even having to point this out.
The goal of our military is to kill these people before they kill us, Mikey and our allies.
Now, Mikey, here's a news flash for you, pal.
I don't like Hamas.
I don't like Hezbollah.
I don't like Islamic jihad.
I don't like the Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades.
I don't like Al Qaeda.
I don't like any Islamo fascist.
I don't like them.
Why isn't their responsibility, Mikey, to convert me into someone who likes them?
Why is the burden on us, Mikey, to make our enemies love us, particularly our military?
Our militaries are not emissaries of anything but death and broken stuff.
I don't like these people, Mikey.
You know what?
I see them as invading, murdering uncompromising heathens.
I see them as the enemy.
Mikey.
Instead of calling a press conference in Washington, D.C., why don't you take your group over there?
And go meet with Hamas and Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyr Brigades and anybody from Al Qaeda you can find, and why don't you convince them that they have to give up their religion in their armies so that we will like them more?
Who in the world are you, Mikey, to go on a press conference tour and say that our military has to ban religious activity in the Pentagon because it might offend the enemy.
Would you like to go over and try this on the enemy?
Go over there and meet with Hasran Nasrallah.
Hassan Nasrallah.
Say Hassan, you can want to promote world peace here.
If you could just drop your religion, get rid of the turban.
It scares Americans.
They think you're trying to take over the world with your militant Islamic beliefs.
Get your religion out of it, Hassan.
And then tell that to Hamas and go tell it to bin Laden and Al Zawahiri.
No, not going to do that.
We're going to tell it to the United States, the good guys.
We're going to punish the United States because there are Christian religious people in the Pentagon.
Back in a second.
Happily, ladies and gentlemen, making the complex understandable.
Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Nancy Westlake, Ohio, you're next.
I'm glad you waited.
Rush baby.
Hey.
Don't you ever die.
We need you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Um you were talking about um all the talk about pulling out troops.
And um no matter when they're talking about doing it, I think all they're doing is uh encouraging, emboldening the insurgents and emboldening Democrats, which, if you think about it, might almost be the same thing.
Um more people are getting killed.
Uh I've noticed lately in Iraq that the suicide bombings are bigger.
They're killing more people, and they're putting our military at risk.
I have a different theory.
I know what you're saying.
I have a different I think the world knows, I think the terrorists know that Bush is not going to listen to the Baker Hamilton report.
They know that we're not pulling out of there.
They're trying to help people drum up support to pressure Bush to pull out by ramp.
This is just like they did before the election, ramp up all the death.
I I saw something, you know, I couldn't help but laugh at it, but it was it was it was chilling.
Some warlord in Afghanistan made a video tape.
And I think I saw it on Fox yesterday.
And this guy was taking credit for the Democrats winning control of the House.
A warlord in Afghanistan.
Taking credit to every person they killed.
It was sort of like Gephardt.
Every ten-point drop in the stock market, we pick up a seat in the House or every hundred point drop.
This guy was saying every American soldier killed was one more vote for a Democrat, or one more vote against Bush.
Uh, and and you know, it it it looked it was a very amateurish video.
It's pref quality was good, but the background, you know, it looked like um I don't know, where a warlord would live.
I've been to Afghanistan, I'm not gonna describe it to you because I don't want to be offensive to anybody.
But the uh uh i look at the terrorists and the Democrats are aligned, whether the Democrats like it or not, and whether they want to admit it or not, they're on the same side in this, and that's American defeat.
And I think uh, as I've as I've mentioned earlier, uh what everything I'm looking at, from the generals that work for Bush, the retired generals, to a number of other people, and Bush himself now delaying this speech.
In fact, I want you to just mention, too, the media's in a tizzy over this.
Let's go to the audio sound bites number sixteen, Ed.
We have a montage here of people from ABC and NBC and CBS uh talking about the president's announcement that he's gonna delay his new policy until next year.
Now a twist.
The president's new Iraq plan won't be unveiled until next year.
Postponing the big speech.
Why?
He planned to reveal his new way forward, but now there has been a delay.
The president is buying some time, a delay in the president's new Iraq strategy.
For a couple of weeks now.
The White House has been saying that the president would announce his new way forward before the end of the year.
All of a sudden, that announcement has been put off.
Yeah, and especially upset is the New York Times.
They're very agitated in their editorial this morning that the president's taking his time uh before reporting to the nation on Iraq.
And the reason for it is that they, the rest of the drive-by media wanted to muscle through the Iraq surrender group report.
And they know that the more time passes, the more the Baker Hamilton report will lose altitude.
I think it's already dropping like a rock with no parachute.
I think it's I think it's destined to implode on impact.
And the fear over there at the New York Times is that the worst elements of the Baker Hamilton plan will not be the White Houses.
They will not adopt them.
And it's becoming a crushing realization.
And so the pr and and I think the same thing is hit home to the terrorists over there, and they are trying to do what they did prior to the election.
Ramp up the violence, trying to intimidate the president into getting out of there.
And they think they will succeed because they've got the American people on their side.
That's how they're interpreting the elections.
So if they just continue to kill and maim innocent people for no reason whatsoever outside of the terms of warfare, they think the American people, uh aided and abetted to the drive-by media, will start howling and protesting aloud so much that the president will have no for uh no choice but then to get out.
Now, I just want to make one observation here, and I'm not saying it means a lot, but everybody's talking about how the Iraq war has now become Vietnam.
The Democrats, the Liberals are talking about this.
Well, you know, I was alive during the Vietnam War.
And I remember what anti-war sediment looked like.
They were blowing up bank buildings in Los Angeles, they were throwing rocks, they were kidnapping heiresses.
There was all kinds of chaos and mayhem and civil and uncivil disobedience going on.
There were hundreds of thousands of people marching all over this country, demanding this and demanding that.
The students were going nuts.
I mean, even the anti-war crowd is a bunch of pacifists these days when it comes to expressing their anger.
I don't see any of these protests.
And they've tried.
They tried during the campaign to gin them up.
Twenty-five cities nationwide, grand total twenty-five thousand people, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
The illegal immigrants were able to get more people to participate in their protests than the anti-war crowd was.
So everybody's uh of the opinion that all we got to do is just continue to ramp up public pressure.
Well, I got news for the terrorists.
We are in the Christmas season in this country, and I've gotten some emails from some of you, by the way, and I wanted to comment on this.
Um it frankly is one of the things that led me to the overall theme of today's busy broadcast.
It's not a lot of people, but some people are sending me emails saying, you know, I rush, this just doesn't feel like Christmas.
It's nothing to do with the weather or any of that, has nothing to do with the decorations in the stores or whatever.
It just doesn't feel like Christmas, and they've thought about it and they've thought about it, and they've concluded it's because nobody's happy.
At least the portrayal of the country in the drive-by media is utter chaos and misery and despair and anger, the trees coming down in Seattle, then going back up, the Muslims demanding that they be treated fairly before they fly over to Mecca or else,
the flying imams raising hell uh on U.S. airways on purpose, the atheists out there demanding that church bells be silenced, uh and it's uh uh it's got people somewhat perplexed and down.
But I I think this effort to gin up more anti-war fervor among the American people in the next three weeks.
I mean, he's just delaying this speech till next month is a loser because most people, frankly, are going to do what they can to try to get into the holiday spirit and the Christmas spirit in this country, what with family time coming up and so forth.
At least um that's what I'm hoping.
That's where my faith in the American population uh is.
Here's uh here's James in New York City.
James, nice to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Thank you, sir.
Uh, I had mentioned to your uh your screener uh that uh the message better go out to these other countries that think they're going to arm the United States, that there are nuclear weapons of the United States, and it doesn't take our Air Force or our army to deliver them.
And if they think that we're gonna sit back the first time they trigger something like that and just take it, they're in for a big big awakening.
And on the other issues for it, I am a Jew.
And my great-grandparents and grandparents were murdered by the Nazis.
My parents got out by the skin of their teeth.
If there was no Holocaust, where are my great aunts and my great uncles?
Where are my grandparents that I never been able to enjoy?
What happened to them?
They didn't exist.
Well, that's what these people want people to believe.
You know, it this I uh it's it's it's uh it's very serious.
As to your as to your first point about we have nukes too, uh, and the Iranians better realize that uh that we you know uh here's what I think the Iranians Are seeing.
And this is what I think Al Qaeda is seeing.
And I think the uh the Chicoms are taking their measure.
They see us as not using the nukes.
They see us as not really defending ourselves.
I mean, even the way we've gone about it in Iraq is sort of half baked.
They see us as unwilling to take casualties.
They see us as a passive population.
Mahmoud has done his best to threaten and provoke, and all we do is respond with words, and all the civilized world does is respond with words.
He sees a group of Americans put out this supposedly scholarly study that says, we think Mahmoud, we should talk to you about solving our problems in Iraq.
Now, if I'm Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I only interpret this one way.
I'm dealing with a bunch of wusses.
I'm dealing with a bunch of people who can't take it.
He might be thinking, I'm not going to nuke the United States.
I wouldn't be that, so I don't have the means to do it anyway.
Even if I get a nuke weapon next month or next year, I don't have the transport system.
Maybe I can do a suitcase nuke that nobody can trace back to me, probably do that.
But I think they're into the uh mode of intimidation, just claiming or threatening that they will do it, and the world's gonna back down.
The world's not going to stop them from getting a nuke.
That's patently obvious.
Why would the world stop them from using it?
If the world's not going to stop them from getting it, why would Mahmud think that anybody's going to make any effort to stop him from using it?
And even if he does use it, somewhere down the line, he's probably thinking nobody's going to retaliate because they want, won't want to expand the conflict.
He sees half the population of this country who are trying now to deny that 9-11 meant anything more than just an isolated crime.
He sees an entire political party in this country and movement, the Democratic Party and the American left, doing its best to punish its own president and members of its own military for defending this country after that attack.
Abu Grab Club Gitmo, you name it.
If you put yourself in the shoes or the moccasins, whatever Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wears, I guarantee you, the only thing that it threatens you, the only thing that might give you some pause about the United States of America's George W. Bush, who is going to be gone in a couple of years.
So you bide your time and you end up with a Barack Obama or a Hillary Clinton or a John Kerry or a John Edwards or a whoever.
And that's what they'll be hoping for.
And then they he's seeing that the whole country will become what half the country today is.
Pacifist, in denial, not wanting confrontation, not thinking it's worth it, accommodating, bending over backwards to make our enemies like us.
Bin Laden has seen it ever since Mogadishu.
Ahmadinejad's beginning to get his personal taste of it now.
He does this Holocaust didn't happen convention.
And all he's done is gin up more talk and conversation about it.
Yeah, the predictable we are outraged by it has happened.
But that's about it.
So if I'm Ahmadinejad, I actually don't think in a couple of years I'm going to be dealing with a president who would ever retaliate against me with a nuclear weapon if I use one of my own.
And even if he's wrong, he's still got this belief that he's presiding over the end of the infidels and the arrival of the 12th Imam and a nuclear holocaust.
Why, the way he reads the Quran, it may just be what's in store the next two or three years.
But of course, we in America can't condemn that because people are free to practice whatever religion they want.
Our constitution has become a suicide pact to way too many people.
Back in just a second.
As if to make my point, I hold something here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday, The international community must use whatever words necessary to stop Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Oh, come on, Rush, what do you mean?
Did she actually say we have to use whatever words necessary?
Well, not exactly, but you tell me what this means.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday, the international community must use all diplomatic options.
You ever seen a diplomat pull a trigger?
All diplomatic options, including sanctions to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Sanctions aren't going to stop because the Russians and the Chicoms will be right there and they'll veto any such resolution on sanctions at the Security Council.
Makes my point.
Mahmood's gonna sit there and along with his Mullas and the Ayatollahs and just laugh themselves silly.
Get this.
I've been doing stories recently, ladies and gentlemen, on the Democrats and their proclivity to meet with the enemy.
Now keep it keep this in context.
The president has just announced.
Screw you, I'm not gonna give you my new Iran plan until January.
Everybody's a tizzy.
The Baker Hamilton groups in a tizzy.
The drive-by media isn't a tizzy, led by the New York Times.
The world is in a tissue.
Well, we thought you were going to give up by now.
Didn't you hear the election results?
Didn't you read the Iraq surrender group report?
You were to announce troop withdrawals by 2008 and start talking to Syria and Iran.
Bush is saying, screw you.
I'm available.
I'm studying the plans, and I'll have my results and my ideas next year for you.
In light of that, after meeting with the president of Syria today.
Florida's Senator Bill Nelson said the country shares in the U.S. goal of stabilizing violence toward Iraq.
Senator Bill Nelson, Democrat Florida, said he met with Syrian President Basher El Assad for an hour in Damascus.
After the meeting, the useful idiot, Senator Nelson said, Assad stated that we in fact have an interest, a common interest to stabilize Iraq.
I think it's a crack in the door, and it is for discussions to continue.
So a Democrat senator's gone over, and this mission, by the way, of Nelson's was opposed by the Bush administration.
Nelson went anyway.
Men carries go, yeah, but Carrie's going to Iraq.
This guy, Nelson went over to talk to Basher Assad, and he's he's saying, hey, I just talked to Assad Assad, it's willing to talk to us about Iraq.
And I'm I'm I just there's a crack in the door.
We've got it.
So the pressure is mounting now.
Except that tenant of the Baker Hamilton group report.
Well, but why would we concern if he's ever told the truth?
What in the point?
Why are we believing him anyway, ever, whether he tells the truth now and then or not, whether he lies all the time, he's the enemy.
This he's a client state of Iran.
But the Democrats remembered the enemy is in the White House.
The enemy of peace, the enemy of the solution, the enemy of the world-liking America, the enemy of all things is in the White House.
Here's John in Jacksonville, Florida.
Hi, John, welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
It only took me 15 years to talk to you.
Well, I'm glad you made it through, sir.
Thank you.
Let me give you a little quick background.
I'm a 20-year retired military disabled veteran, whose son is now on active duty, and I'm very proud of him.
Um I'm a libertarian, but I and I'm not a Christian, but I'll tell you Merry Christmas.
Well, thank you.
Appreciate that.
Now, all that being aside, the reason I called, and I'd love to talk to you for about 24 hours, but the reason I called today was we were talking.
You were talking earlier about this uh this haircuttery, uh, what was the name of it?
Um eye candy.
Yeah, eye candy cuts.
Yeah, like candy cuts.
My stepfather owned a uh topless shoe shine parlor back here in the 1970s.
And I can tell you from personal experience that it is not just the left, but it is also the hard right that it is opposed to it.
It's a strange kind of bedfellows uh situation.
You know what?
Okay, all right, all right.
I you know uh I get your point.
You know what I wish I don't I can't listen to anybody for 24 hours.
Uh don't take it personally, John.
Um I get your point here, and I'm gonna expand on this in the next hour.
Left and right are the busybodies in our culture today.
That's interesting.
Posit.
We'll be back here in just a second.
Stay with us.
A lot of audio sound bites on the roster today, and it's uh I think time to get to them.
Well, lots of other stuff on the snack of stuff, too.
So another exciting and busy broadcast hour is right around the corner.
Sit tight, my good buddies.
Don't go anywhere.
