Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I normally don't talk about these kind of things, but this Trump and Rosie O'Donnell thing, this is just too good.
And I've tell you, I'm totally on Trump's side in this.
Oh, yes.
It's about time.
You know, it's just about time.
Greetings, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Uh back we are in the EIB Southern Command.
Great to be back.
Uh, and it was a fun time in New York as well, but it's always good to be home, and we're here at telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the uh big show today, the uh telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email addresses rush at EIBNet.com.
All right, we're we got all kinds of stuff in the stacks of stuff that we got.
Sandy Burgler back in the news.
Uh, and we have some actual news to make on this, I think, today, or to report to you.
Another case of a kindergartner being accused of sexual harassment, this time not harassing the teacher, but another student.
Uh so we've got we've got uh a five-year-old uh who is uh being told he's a pervert for just being a little boy.
This is how feminism, this is how feminism gets its uh the hooks uh into the male population at a very young age and cowers them and intimidates them and uh so forth and so on.
We'll deal with that.
I have the most amazing stack of news about Christmas.
I I've never seen it like this at any Christmas where I have been hosting a radio program.
It is all about how rotten everybody feels and is acting this Christmas.
It's just it's a rot in hell kind of Christmas.
Story after story after story.
I mean, there's even a story you may want an iPod or a blackberry, but beware if you get one, you might get a thumb injury.
It's amazing.
And we've also how about the situation in Denver?
Uh I'm waiting for somebody to say this is exactly what happens with global warming.
All of these various weather extremes.
How many thousands of people stranded at DIA?
They're now sending buses out to uh get them.
The uh airport will not open until noon on Friday.
It'll be closed another uh twenty-four hours, and I'm sure many of you holiday travelers are fully aware of you know, this is not just bollocksing up traffic uh in and around Denver.
There's all those airplanes that can't get out of Denver, there are numbers of them that can't get in, uh, and it's it's making a mess of the entire air traffic system.
And they're not going to get that airport open until uh noon tomorrow, and it is still snowing.
All right, here's the Sandy Burglar stuff.
Uh, as you know, uh this this by the way, this news coming out yesterday today is is a typical dump uh going into a slow news time.
Former National Security Advisor Sandy Burgler removed classified documents from National Archives in 2003 and hid them under a construction trailer.
The Archives Inspector General reported yesterday.
Now, you know, this has been chalked up here to Sandy wasn't thinking.
Or Sandy Sloppy.
Or Sandy's such a hard worker, or Sandy this or Sandy that.
He put it in his socks.
He put it to put the papers down his pants or whatever.
Now we learn that he hid them under a construction trailer.
There's malice here.
There is thought.
This was a genuine theft.
It blows my mind that you've got Scooter Libby soon to go on trial for his freedom, having done nothing.
And and and here is Sandy Burglar, who has admitted to the deed, walking free after a $10,000 fine.
This report that came out yesterday issued more than a year after Burglar pleaded guilty and received a criminal sentence for removal of the documents.
Inspector General Paul Brockfeld reported that when Burglar was confronted by archives officials about the missing documents, he said it was possible he threw them into his office trash.
The uh report said that when Archives employees first suspected that Burglar was removing classified documents from the archives in the fall of 03, they didn't notify any law enforcement agency.
Of course, why short would they do that?
It's the Clintons.
Everybody lies about sex.
Everybody lies about billing records.
Everybody lies.
Why not about classified documents?
It's the Clintons.
Why worry about law enforcement in the Clintons?
Don't make me laugh.
Now, Burglar, who pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining the documents, was fined 50 Gs, I thought it was 10 G 50 G's, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service, barred from access to classified material for three years.
Now the report said that when Burglar was reviewing the classified documents in the Archives Building a few blocks from the Capitol, employees saw him bending down and fiddling with something white, which could have been paper around his ankle.
However, archives employees didn't feel the time there was enough information to confront someone of Burglar's stature.
Brackfield reported that uh on one visit, Burglar took a break to go outside without an escort.
In total, during this visit, he removed four documents.
Mr. Burglar said he placed the documents under a trailer in an accessible construction area outside the main archives building.
Now, Burglar, what was he?
We know what he's doing now, with the authorization of uh former President Clinton.
Burglar was reviewing National Security Council documents on bin Laden and Al Qaeda, Sudan, and related presidential correspondence.
The review was to fill facilitate burglars' impending testimony before the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, and that's not at all what was going on.
We're going to go back to the archives of this program.
July 20th, 2004.
Want to play for you what I said behind this very microphone on the very morning that the burglar story broke.
This is big, and I'll tell you why it's the stuff that was stolen, the stuff that's probably now been shredded, the stuff that he just inadvertently sloppily can't find.
You know what those documents contained?
Elements of evidence that Al Qaeda was in the country in 1999.
It's all part of this millennium plot that the Clinton administration tried to take a lot of credit for stopping when in fact it was just good police work by a single customs agent.
It was not the result of any directive.
This kill came out in the 9 11 Commission report as well, or hearings.
None of this is an accident.
You don't go in there and inadvertently take things out when you're the national security advisor.
You know what the rules are.
You know that classified docs don't get taken out of the room.
You know they don't get taken home.
You know they don't get stuffed on your pants and socks.
You know all of this.
Yes, you do know all of this, yet Burglar did all of that.
And he did all of that to save the Clinton administration a bunch of embarrassment and worse.
He went in there.
I've always been amazed what he took out.
Yes, but what he put back in.
What he removed, what he uh who knows what he edited, what he put back in.
Uh, that has always been a matter of curiosity to me.
Here is Burglar also on July 20th of 2004, speaking to reporters in Washington about all of this, a portion of his remarks back then.
Last year when I was in the archives looking reviewing documents, I made an honest mistake.
Oh, this is one that I deeply regret.
Oh, I dealt with this issue in October 2003, fully.
He's so sorry.
Everything that I have done all along in this process, has been for the purpose of aiding and supporting the work of the 9-11 Commission.
B.S. And any suggestion to the contrary is simply absolutely wrong.
I'm sorry, Mr. Burglar.
We weren't buying it then and we weren't buying it now.
Now, here's um here's some news on this.
The landmark legal foundation has been attempting, via freedom of information uh uh uh laws to secure all versions and copies of the Millennium After Action Review.
That's the document that Burglar was trying to destroy in its various forms at the archives.
Uh this is this has been figured out a long time ago.
Everybody is pretty much up to speed that that's what he was looking at.
Now, the landmark legal foundation just received a letter from the Clinton Presidential Library rejecting landmark's appeal of their original denial of the landmark request for all versions and copies of the review document, uh being the the uh millennium after action review document.
Now, this is significant, folks.
As a matter of law, uh the Clinton Library has the authority to withhold documents they believe are classified under the Presidential Records Act.
It means that Clinton's people, along with the bureaucrats that run his massage parlor and library, will not release the documents that have been requested.
So the people at Landmark Legal Foundation are now reviewing whether there's a legal basis for litigating the issue.
But this is the point.
These documents contain information that must be stunning.
Information that most likely undermines Clinton's and Richard Clark's contention that their administration did everything possible to strengthen our counterterrorism activities.
You know, Clinton uh can obstruct the access to these documents under the cover of classified information for twelve years from the time he left the presidency.
That's the law.
Presidents can protect their own documents for twelve years uh uh afterwards.
And once the twelve years run out, the incumbent president can continue uh to withhold the documents if he so chooses.
So we're uh the landmark is seeking uh these documents under the Presidential Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act, both of which have multiple triggers built into them to uh make access to these documents very difficult unless Clinton relents, which he won't do.
Uh and you know the real question here is what must these documents contain?
President Clinton, what what information is in the Millennium After Action Review documents that is so damning, so devastating, so worrisome that you refuse to release any of it.
Remember the Clinton administration's uh uh unbelievably hysterical reaction to the TV miniseries of Path to 911?
Uh why were they so upset about that?
Because the Path to 911 tracked this country's history dealing with the Al Qaeda and terrorism and threats all during the Clinton presidency and made it very clear that it wasn't taken seriously.
The Clinton people said, we never worked hard on anything in our lives at Richard Clark, I mean, we we were doing everything we hunt these people down, we're launching missiles, whatever we thought we targeted these people.
If there's anything in, therefore, the Millennium After Action Review document that would spell out just how tough and just how wonderful and just how comprehensive the Clinton terrorism policy was.
Well, I would think they want to release this report, but no, they are suppressing it.
They have the legal right to do it.
Uh, but they are being uh obstinate.
They don't want this after action review reported.
And again, just refresh your memory on this.
There was an incident outside Seattle, and this was covered in the movie, The Path to 911, by the way.
Uh bunch of uh uh Muslim terrorists planned on going down to Los Angeles and having a fun day with some bombs.
And a very uh alert female customs agent uncovered the whole thing simply on the basis of this guy's behavior and her instincts, which is great police work.
And after that happened, Clinton and his his gang started touting how wonderful their their policy was, uh, and it was the policy uh that had enabled the customs agent to um uh in fact snag this terrorist person, and they wanted that to be the official thing that the 9-11 Commission concluded.
They wanted a stamp of approval because everything about Clinton is building a legacy and writing one because there isn't one of substance that he enjoys.
By the way, Monica Lewinsky didn't blow this when she got a what was he an economics degree at uh at the Wart School in London or wherever it is.
I've I don't know why I thought of this, but I did.
But I guess we start talking about Clinton's legacy, you think Lewinskian cigars.
Except here, you know, we use cigars here too, but we light them.
Uh we smoke them.
More on this, ladies and gentlemen, after a brief timeout and uh uh a review of uh EIB uh obscene profit center breaks.
Now I know this isn't gonna happen, but Hillary Clinton ought to be asked about these documents that Sandy Burglar stole and altered or edited, or whatever he did to them.
She ought to be asked about those documents at every speaking engagement, every campaign stop, every press event.
Will she call on her former administration to release the documents?
No way, but she should be made to do so.
She should be forced and pressured to do so.
As I said, the idea that Scooter Libby's on trial for his freedom, and Sandy Burglar is free, having been caught in the act is is outrageous.
And as I said earlier, uh there's all kinds of outrage and there's shock and there's disgust.
Uh obvious reactions.
But why?
Why are people reacting this way?
Come on, folks, it's the Clintons.
Everybody lies about sex.
Everyone lies about billing records.
Why shouldn't everyone lie about classified documents?
What did burglar cover up?
It makes no difference.
It's the Clintons, stupid.
We're talking about a legacy here.
We're talking about a 2008 campaign.
In the words of the mob, forget about it.
And that's that's gonna be the reaction of the drive-by media.
Everybody there's not gonna be any interest in this, particularly with the dump here on this report coming so close to the uh Christmas holidays.
But these documents are history, folks, and the idea they can be withheld from the American people uh is pathetic.
That is exactly what happens.
Let's go back to the archives for more audio soundbite review, this whole process.
We last played you, Sandy Burglar, saying that uh everything that he had done all along in the process had been for the purpose of aiding and the supporting of the work of the 9-11 Commission.
Huh.
Yeah, right.
And next up on the Today Show, July 21st of 2004, the day after we first learned of Burglar's burglary.
Katie Courick, who then had an audience on the Today Show, was talking to Lanny Brewer, Sandy Burglar's lawyer.
Uh and Katie Courick said some of the New York tabloids are suggesting that he stuffed documents in his socks.
What's what's that about?
I don't know what it's about.
It's scareless and it's absolutely false.
We've been handling this matter, Katie, since October.
Not once, not once in any conversation with the Department of Justice.
Has anyone ever made such a ridiculous claim?
That claim came from the first time when someone leaked it without any basis at all.
It didn't happen, and it's false, and it's a character assassination.
Oh, let's play the violins.
My heart bleeds.
We now know that uh he got them out of there somehow and then hid them under a construction trailer.
On a construction site near the National Archives.
But you know, this was not the last person, his lawyer to speak on this July 20th, 2004 at a book signing in Denver.
Former President Clinton had this to say about Sandy Burglar's document burglary.
I believe he his explanation.
He did a fabulous job against terrorists.
All those records were documented, and one thing question involved what we did in the lead up to the millennium, where we had no terrorist incidents, and we prevented a lot of them.
So I think that you know, he's just cooperate.
He said he's gonna do it.
But that man worked his heart out for eight years, and uh I and he was there for you know all day, 10-12 hours, four days in a row, and he said what happened, and I have no reason not to believe.
No reason not to believe.
Well, truth never mattered in the Clinton administration anyway, so what does it matter whether you believe him or not?
But how about uh how about this as a job review?
Uh he did a fabulous job against terrorists.
I never knew he took one on.
He did a fabulous job against terrorists.
All those records are documented, and the one question involved uh what we did in the lead up to the millennium where we had no terrorist incidents, we prevented a lot of them.
So I think see Clinton himself is he he knows what what what burglar was in there after.
It was the Millennium after action review.
He mentions Millennium.
They were doing everything they could to shape that event out there into one that was the result of their great, great policy and forethought and planning, uh trying to steal the credit from a very competent cop customs agent at the time, and they wanted that to be because they're in search of a legacy.
They wanted that to be the official uh statement in the final report of the 9-11 committee.
And that's that's what this was was all about.
What was in that document must be pretty damaging to have to do one there and change it.
One little uh fun and final bite here is Bill Richardson on July 20th of 2004, Talking about burglar.
Well, obviously Sandy's admitted to a mistake uh in in that process, but I've known him for 20 years.
The guy is honorable.
He's a dedicated public servant.
Uh I'm sure it was a careless, sloppy moment.
Uh, an investigation is going on.
But I believe that uh what Sandy was I I always remember him as disheveled.
Yeah.
You know, he had fifty papers running around, his tie was off, sort of like me.
And and I just think maybe this is a case of sloppiness.
I don't think there was any malicious intent.
No, no, of course not the Clintons.
How could have there been any malicious intent?
No, no, no, it's just a slob.
Honorable slob, sloppy moment.
I'm sure there was some mud, maybe some, well, it couldn't have been snow.
Well, you never know.
Mud underneath the construction trailer where he first hid the documents.
We'll be back.
We'll continue in Uno Momento.
And remember, my friends, as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where here is.
We are having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And as I, America's real anchor man.
Search for truth and find it and proclaim it.
And serving in my role as doctor of democracy all combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
First up on the phones today is Jim in Boston.
I'm uh glad you called Jim and welcome.
Hi, Rush.
Uh how's it going?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
I wanted to ask you don't you feel it's a little presumptuous to be making any expansive conclusions about uh Mr. Burglar's intent, considering you don't know the contents of the document.
Clinton involvement.
Well, see, that's that's the point we do know.
It has been established, and it was confirmed by President Clinton, I'm sure inadvertently, uh that it was the Millennium After Action Review that Burglar was in messing with.
We would all like to know what's in the documents, Jim.
And the landmark legal foundation has asked the Clinton Library to release that after action review, the Millennium After Action Review, which is the document Burglar was trying to change, alter, or do whatever to, and they won't release it.
Uh and the all we can do is speculate why.
I mean, there must be something pretty damning in it.
Perhaps, but I mean, it's a little presumptuous and or you know.
It's without any actual malice involved, I uh I think it's pretty hard to make any sort of irrational conclusion.
Jim, there are there are certain things that we know.
We know that the Millennium After Action Review was an effort by the Clinton administration to claim uh credit for no terrorism, no terrorist acts occurring during the run-up to Y2K.
We know that they wrote they and and we know this because this document was reported on by the 9-11 Commission.
Now look, look at this.
I am being treated by the first caller of the day as a criminal, and Sandy Burglar has admitted to taking this review, these documents out of the National Archives and hiding them under a construction trailer.
And I am under the interrogation less- Don't you think it's a little presumptuous without any actual malice involved?
I mean, I think it's pretty hard to make any sort of actual conclude.
This is the problem with nobody ever does anything wrong except me.
And all I'm doing is talking about it.
Why aren't you calling me and demanding that burglar and the Clintons release the details?
That way you won't have to be mad at me for speculating.
The reason you're mad at me, Jim, and I know you're mad, is because you know I'm right.
I know the Clintons and that administration, not just like the back of my hand, but like every square inch of my glorious naked body.
I know full well, as does everybody else, they paid scant attention to terrorism, and when they did, they treated it as a legal issue.
The 9-11 Commission starts the its its work.
Clinton doesn't have a legacy on terrorism.
It was Clinton administration people who, after 9-11, lamented that it why did it happen when Bill was president?
So something major that could define his presidency would have happened.
Why does Bush get all these good things?
I mean, it's a sick, sick bunch of people who are looking at every event as a way they can manipulate into a positive legacy.
Clinton's terrorism legacy is the first World Trade Center bombing.
Didn't do anything about it.
Mogadishu didn't do anything about except quit and give up.
Uh Did track down the blind sheikh, uh, put him on trial, but uh turned down bin Laden a couple three times when he was offered to us by the Sudanese.
Uh I mean, it's it's a horrible record.
But Clinton can't let it in the process of building a legacy with his wife seeking the White House here in a mere two years.
Can't let that stand.
Ergo, you send burglar into the National Archives preparing for his testimony before the 9-11 Commission, and he wants to have those documents reflect what he's gonna say.
Now come on, Jim, you've got to be open and honest.
Think about this.
Instead of calling here and getting mad at me on some charge of being presumptuous and speculating without having any knowledge whatsoever.
We have a lot of knowledge.
We have a lot of if I were a lawyer, I have a circumstantial case here.
Plus I got burglars' admission.
Burglar admitted taking the documents out, and we just here.
Grab audio soundbite number four again.
It may not have been the Millennium After Action Review, eh?
Well, Clinton's signing a book out in Denver, Colorado, and we've asked about Burglar and said this.
I believe his explanation, he did a fabulous job against terrorism.
All those records were documented, and one thing question involved what we did in the lead up to the millennium, where we had no terrorist incidents, and we prevented a lot of them.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop it right here.
Clinton just he knew what burglar was doing.
This, you know, the real question here, folks.
I have no doubt that Sandy Burglar growing up never once imagined that he would be on this side of the law.
No, seriously.
I'm speaking to you seriously here.
Sandy Burglar, whatever, is always been a law-abiding citizen.
We're a major felonious crime here.
Now, what would make him do this?
What would make him take the risk of getting caught and having a felony on his record and going through the humiliation and the embarrassment?
What would what would make him would he have so much loyalty to the Clinton administration did it on his own?
Speculating here, for those of you in Boston.
Uh have so much loyalty, he just did it on his own.
Uh was there something in the Millennium After Action Review that reflected poorly on him and he was purely being selfish and going in there and trying to fix it so that he didn't look so bad?
Or did he get a phone call one night?
Hey, Sandy, how you doing, bud?
Here that 9-11 commission is getting ready to get it.
You know, so we got if we got a problem there.
And uh uh you've heard of Bob Tortelli and uh I'm sure Andrew Cuomo, uh good guys all, but you know.
Or is there something in his FBI file that the Clintons have?
Now you stop and think of this, folks.
Now I I'm I'm I'm saying this not as a conservative, not as an ideologue, as strictly an observer.
We watched the Bush administration, and every day it seems like there are serious leaks from the CIA and the Pentagon and the State Department.
I mean, just the other day, I had it in the stack yesterday, didn't get to it.
Uh we've apparently we've got some battle plan.
I don't mean war, but we've got we got some action plan for Syria.
And somebody leaked it.
I don't know who Time magazine or Newsweek or one of the newspapers.
I'll see if I can dredge it up from Lake excuse me, archive files.
I ate lunch too close to the program.
You just heard a professional broadcaster suppress a belch.
Most highly trained specialists would do not have that talent, folks, and and you would have heard the belch.
I have the skill, the experience to be able to do this and to roll right on.
Yet throughout the eight years of the Clinton administration, I don't remember a significant leak that damaged them at all.
Do you?
I don't.
Even since the Clintons have left office, normally that's when people dump, get it off their chest.
It hasn't happened.
In fact, after they leave office, Guerelick gets herself on this commission, burglar goes in, steals documents from the National Archives.
This kind of blind total loyalty in politics is not normal.
It's not common.
This is the exception to the rule, what's happening here with the with the Clinton people.
And this is why, you know, I I um look at what the Gary Aldrich wrote his book, FBI agent.
FBI agent.
They destroyed Gary Aldrich, did everything Kathleen Willie, anybody that dared come out and tell the truth.
They even tried to portray Monica Lewinsky as a stalker.
She's a 19-year-old groupie intern.
And they're trying to destroy her.
And of course, the drive-by media to Democrats sympathized with the Clintons while all these people's reputations are being tarnished and destroyed.
Well, people say, well, these people are trying to ruin the Clintons.
Well, maybe they're just trying to tell the truth of what was going on.
And we couldn't have that, and we still can't have it today.
We still can't get the truth.
We still can't get this document released from the Clinton presidential library.
If if Clinton, if this document, as Clinton just said here, uh let me read this to you.
Uh Sandy did a fabulous job against terrorists.
All those records were documented, and the one question involved what we did in the lead up to the millennium, where we had no terrorist incidents, and we prevented a lot of them.
We prevent one customs agent, one event.
They were trying to set this up so that their policy and their administration was on the case.
And this is in 2003 during or 2004 during the hearings.
They have to go back.
They did try to rewind a TiVo on this.
Exactly what they tried to do, and that's what Burglars' purpose was.
Why would Burglar risk all this?
And I don't have the answers to these questions.
I am just telling you this is how my fertile active, productive, and unique mind works.
I don't see traitors.
I don't see leakers.
I instead I see people willing to risk their own reputations to save Bill and Hillary's.
Something just makes me curious about that.
Back in just a second.
All right, now, I realize there may be others of you out there in Boston, in Denver, in San Francisco, in many places, who think, boy, Rush, you know.
Here you go again.
Jumping to all kinds of conclusions.
Why you don't even know that it was the Millennium After Action Review that Burglar went in there and took.
Yes, we do.
We can infer it at least from what Clinton said at the book signing in Denver, but Burglar admitted it.
Washington Post, July 22nd, 2004.
The documents that Berger has acknowledged taking are different drafts of a January 2000 after-action review of how the government responded to terrorism plots at the turn of the millennium.
The document was written by White House anti-terrorism coordinator Richard Clark at Burglar's direction when he was in the government.
So, I mean, now, if you don't want to believe the Washington Post, I would welcome you to the club normally, but uh this is Burglar admitting it to the Washington Post.
There's no speculation about what he was doing in there and what document he was taking out and changing and put back in.
We don't know.
And some of it didn't get back here.
Remember, some of the stuff that went back in there was not the original.
We've we also know that too.
And uh, you know, what do we get?
Well, he's Sandy's the sloppy guy.
Yeah, I've copied those documents in my sleep.
I had a sleep disorder.
I have I have uh I have uh night trauma, whatever.
I didn't even know I was doing it until I was told that I did it.
In fact, I was doing the copying when I was eating a gallon of chippy nut ice cream from Brears.
I mean, the things these people have been allowed to get away with uh as excuses.
So by the way, mentioning Scooter Libby, get this.
Former ambassador, Joseph Wilson asked a federal judge yesterday not to force him to testify in the TIA Lee case, uh, an accused Scooter Libby of trying to harass him on the witness death.
What a wimp.
Here we have brave old Joe Wilson protecting his poor little CIA agent wife.
He's running around protecting her honor, and he's telling all kinds of lies about yellow cake and Niger and Iraq policy.
And here's Scooter Libby on trial for his freedom while burglars running around giving a given a free pass because he's sloppy or what have you.
And he wants to call Joseph Wilson.
Note, by the way, that uh Patrick Fitzgerald, the uh prosecutor in the case, did not want to call Wilson.
Had no intention of it.
And now Libby has been asking.
He's just gonna harass me.
He's just gonna harass me.
Wilson's attorneys said that Mr. Libby should not be permitted to compel Mr. Wilson's testimony at trial either for the purpose of harassing Mr. Wilson or to gain advantage in the civil case.
Uh you know, I'll bet you would let's talk about real men for a second here, Mr. Wilson.
I'll bet Dick Cheney doesn't have any problem testifying.
He's gonna testify.
Scooter Libby is called the vice president of the United States, you wimp.
You wuss, you phony.
All along this guy has been portrayed as this great masculine role model, doing everything he can to protect his little wife from the monsters outside their little cave in which they live.
And he got a free ride by his buddies in the drive-by media who knew full well the guy was making it up as he went along, but it didn't matter because what he was making up was exactly what they wanted to report and have said that Bush lied, and Bush knew there were no weapons of mass destruction, and his whole thing in Niger was a crock.
As it turns out, even the 9-11 commission report mentioned that Wilson's trip actually confirmed what everybody thought was going on between Iraq and Niger, and the attempt to buy yellow cake, which you need uh for nuclear weapons and so forth.
So here's the guy, Joseph Wilson, who started this whole mess.
He started this whole mess.
Now doesn't have the guts, doesn't have the cajones to appear on the witness stand.
I wonder what he's afraid of.
Could it be that thing that you promised to say the truth under oath?
Could that be what his problem is?
We can only speculate for those of you in uh in Boston.
Robin in Pittsburgh, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, you lovable little fuzzball.
Hey, hey, hey.
That's almost as sweet as when somebody calls me honey.
Oh, I tend to do that.
But anyway, Rush, I'm not gonna go as far as your first caller, but you are missing something on the Sandy Burger thing.
Yeah.
I believe it when he says that it was an honest mistake, and I believe it when he says that he was only trying to help the 9-11 Commission because see the Clintons and the Think offense have their own vocabulary.
So I think when he said honest mistake, that means he honestly made a mistake of getting caught.
And he was only trying to help the 9-11.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I want to understand this.
You're you're you're translating this.
He says, I made an honest mistake, meaning you you think he means he meant to make a mistake all along, and he's being honest about it.
No, no.
He made an honest mistake in that he got caught.
See, this is Clintonese.
It's you you take away.
Oh, the mistake is he got caught.
Oh, the mistake is he got caught.
Oh, yes.
Okay, and then the other one with the helping the 9-11 Commission, which means he was just trying to help Jamie Gorellick conceal evidence and and erase documentation.
Well, that's very you know, I I I have to give you credit.
Uh I am a nine, I am a Russ Limbaugh student from 1989.
Well, you've obviously been studying and you have absorbed a lot.
Because that's you got it.
I mean, you do have to.
It's it's very few people, folks.
I want to tell you.
Very few people can listen to the Clinton say things and understand exactly you gotta what they're saying and how to parse.
I mean, these are the people.
This is Clinton during grand jury and jury testimonies.
Well, it depends on what the meaning of is is.
You know, which spawned an entire intellectual feast of a debate on Uh college camp eye in the Ivy League.
Well, that is an interesting question.
What does is mean?
What is is?
And then, of course, we got continuing news accounts on how lying actually helpsful for people.
Spares feelings, gets things done, this sort of thing.
All right, the first hour is uh in the can, ladies and gentlemen.
Never ever to be repeated except by us.
Nobody could repeat it.
They could try, but they would embarrass themselves.
Second hour coming soon.
