Time Text
And hi folks, uh nice to have you back, Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting network serving humanity.
Every day.
How do I do that?
Simply by showing up.
It's a thrill and a delight to be with you.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIB net.com.
We uh are doing open line Friday on Tuesday today, so when we go to the phones, it it's your show.
You don't have to call about anything that I care about.
Normally Monday through Thursday, I only talk about things I care about, but on Friday we we waive that rule.
We're waving it today, too, so feel free.
A couple of housekeeping things, the rush baby on board signs now available at the EIB store at Rushlimbaugh.com.
Uh rub babe, rush babe sign.
Sorry, the baby on board signs are already there.
Rush Babe on board signs uh are available.
I'm not gonna be here Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday going to the ATT Pebble Beach Pro Am uh the National Pro.
I'm not playing this year if it's a shoulder injury, but I'm still going out uh because it's it's a fun week and a lot of friends out there.
So we got Roger Hedgehog tomorrow and a hedgecock tomorrow, and uh gee.
Sorry, Raj.
Tomorrow and I reacting to a picture I just saw on TV.
Um no, I'm not gonna I'm gonna tell you who.
Uh Hedgecock will be here tomorrow and Thursday and Mark Belling on Friday.
Now there has been universal disgust over my choice for our global warming update theme is fire by the crazy world of Arthur Brown.
Uh that song is from 1968.
I I checked some of the emails uh from subscribers at Rush Limbaugh.com, and some of them liked it, some of them really liked it, but most people just hated it, disgusted by it.
Thought it was just nothing but noise.
Uh Brian and Dawn didn't particularly like it because they'd never heard of it before.
Songs from 1968.
I played this song.
68 was my second year in radio as a DJ.
That song grew on me like a rock and roll rash.
I happen to think that it's perfect.
Update vlogs are not supposed to update songs, are not supposed to be common, ordinary, everyday known songs.
Uh Una Paloma Blanca uh was not something everybody was uh well aware of when I chose that as a piece update in the late 80s.
Uh the uh Star Wars theme of Darth Vader theme for the Gorbasm.
Uh Clarence Frogman Henry ain't got no home for our homeless update.
I mean, you gotta you can't go out and pick something everybody knows.
Some of the suggestions have been Heat Wave by uh Martha Reeves and the Van Del.
I haven't heard this in a long time.
Mike play a little portion of this.
I just have to see if this fits.
I love the soon, a tune.
Don't miss the state.
But I have to hear the lyrics here.
See if it's gotta fit psychologically, musically, a whole bunch of different ways to qualify as official update theme song.
Martha Reeves now on the Detroit City Council, I think.
It's got a good intro.
You can do a lot of talking over the intro here.
Okay.
Okay.
This sounds like an update theme for the Astro Chick.
Yame.
Okay, that's enough of that.
We'll put it on that that's enough.
That's enough.
Well, we'll put it on the side, put it in the stack for consideration.
What do you think about that?
You people didn't like fire by the crazy world of Arthur Brennan.
It does, I know it doesn't fit lyrically.
It's closer to working for the Astro Chick.
But by the way, you know there's something missing from this Astro Chick story.
She's married.
She got three kids.
Normally, the drive-by media would have tracked down the husband by now.
Microphones thrust into his face, and he would have been asked, you knew about this?
Are you just learning about it for the first time?
Did she ever describe for you sex in a weightless atmosphere?
200 miles up there.
What are you doing?
How do you feel?
What about the children?
So far we haven't seen it.
Now I think the drive bys are probably trying to chase this guy down.
Uh but you know, folks, uh, one thing you have to keep in mind.
You really have to keep in mind.
And we've learned this in the last six months.
Remember the woman in uh uh I guess is Germany or some European country who uh uh uh I think aborted her child or or didn't conceive it showed because the found out it was going to have some kind of mental or physical uh defect.
And everybody was outraged that she would uh do this.
Well, until you've What did she say?
Ben in my circumstances, you have no right to comment on this.
And I think uh uh until any of us have driven 900 miles in a diaper, we really have no right to comment on Lisa Nowak and her circumstances.
I mean, this is it's tragic.
These astronaut uh people, I mean, they are they are finely tuned and trained and doesn't take much off that center needle uh position, meter position to go wacko.
Uh just it's it's it's strange.
But until we've done what she did, until you've had a BB gun in your cards and mace, put on a wig and this sort of thing, trench coat, and driven 900 miles without stopping in a diaper.
Uh a depends kind of diapers what we're talking about.
What else we got?
We got some like it hot by power station as a suggestion.
Let's listen to this as a potential global warming update theme.
Let's listen to this.
It's in the bumper rotation already.
Uh qualifies it somewhat.
Some like it hot, de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, to have that standing by then.
We got one more coming up here.
I'm still voting for the crazy world of Arthur Brown.
We haven't even gotten it a lyrics here yet.
There we go.
Another astro chick theme.
I don't know, it's too well known.
It's it's it's all right.
That's enough of that one for now.
Takes a long time to get to the lyrics.
And global warming is fear of heat.
Fear of heat.
This is a song about people who like it being hot.
That would be us.
And of the global warming crowd scared it.
Have you noticed, by the way, people are dying in the cold?
Uh-uh.
Um, all over the place here.
They're dying up there.
Uh how many was it, four or five six deaths now that they've all right.
One more Canada here, Buster Poindexter.
Oh, this might have potential.
It'll attract the illegals.
Maybe dub as an immigration update at the same time.
Well, it's a good dance tune, but I don't know that it works.
All right.
All right, okay.
That's it.
We've heard some like it hot by Power Station, Hot Hot Hot, Buster Poindexter, Heat Wave by Martha Reeves and the Vandela's My Favorite Still.
It's got everything.
It's got the chaos.
It's got fear, threats, death.
Burn, burn, burn.
See?
Threatening.
Destroy all you've done and follow it.
Okay.
All right, that's cool.
I just want to warn you people that send me these emails with how much you hate it, you only inspire me to use it.
No, we're not going to do disco inferno.
I'm not everybody wants to get a reaction.
I'll tell you what we are going to do, though.
I am just going to try this.
I just told Paul Shanklin to prepare a version of Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash as sung by Al Gore with uh with global warming lyrics.
Uh we'll see how that comes out.
Uh but right now it's fire by the crazy world of Arthur Brown as the as the official global warming update theme.
To the phones now.
People have been patiently waiting here.
Colin in London, England, nice to have you on the program.
It's actually Paul in London.
But uh lovely to speak to you again.
Okay, I'm sorry, Paul, it says Colin up here, but uh I'll take the hit because I make the big books.
It's my hideous limey accent.
Uh yeah, I well, firstly, most importantly, definitely fire by the crazy world of Arthur Brown.
Got to agree with you on that one.
Thank you very much.
Or if you can get Paul Shanklin to do Eve of Destruction, uh radically changing the lyrics, of course, away from those hideous ones that uh they already.
Oh, yeah, that was a good one.
It was Barry McGuire.
Barry McGuire, yeah.
Listen, I agree with you on the crazy world of Arthur Brown, but not on that Islamic school in London, I gotta say.
I agree with you on most things, but not that.
Um you said it was a freedom of speech issue for them to be teaching young people.
Well, here's here's here's let me let me uh people may not have heard this as it was in the last hour.
Here's the story, it's a UPI story.
Uh an Islamic school in England has been accused of poisoning the minds of its pupils with textbooks that portray Jews as apes and Christians as pigs, and and and they say that uh this is that this school in Britain's been accused of teaching hate by virtue of portraying Jews as apes and Christians as pigs, and and I said, What's hateful about that?
Uh doesn't strike me as particularly hateful.
Yeah.
Well, it's not being done in a kind of Sesame Street way.
This this kind of dehumanizing is endemic across the Arab world.
It's a motif they always say that uh, you know, Jews are pigs and Christians are apes, or vice versa.
I forget.
And I think that, you know, if let's let's put it another way, if this was a secular school that suddenly decided to have a a book that in a nasty way portrayed black people as monkeys or something as equally hideously racist.
The law would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
Yes.
But because of multiculturalism, they're left alone.
The other point is you start with kids, you know, from acorns, oak trees grow.
What you know, at the very least they're going to be Islamic supremacists when they get older.
Right.
I say the very least, you know, I hate to think of the very worst, but if they think of us as being apes and pigs, then maybe they won't mind killing us so easily.
Right.
You know, uh you have you have given me uh uh occasion here to do something that I that I seldom am able to do.
Uh you you must be listening to the program on the internet, right?
I do, yeah.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna take you off the air.
Oh.
Uh audience will still be able to hear me, but I'm gonna take you off that you'll still be on the internet, but you will not be out over the radio.
I because I have to tell you you're under you're labeling laboring here under a misunderstanding.
I can't give the whole thing away to the whole audience.
All right.
Uh well, I will be, they're gonna be hearing me, but let me just let me just explain this to you.
I we have a phrase here, and I've used it ever since.
Might Mike, throw that switch so that this guy's not on the air.
Uh he can still be on the internet.
All right.
Is it done?
Okay.
Now, uh I have a phrase here to describe this program, illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
Ah, I see.
And uh I for for for almost nineteen years here, uh been dealing with stories like this and being righteously indignant and uh apocalyptic.
This is worth we're going to hell on a handbag.
How can this stuff be happening and so forth?
I think rather to make the point of just how absurd it is is to agree with it.
I should have got this.
I mean, Britt's were always talking on about irony, and so this is a very good thing.
Well, but that's all about that's that's that's about getting you up to speed here uh on this.
I mean, it's this is this is ridiculous.
Calling the the thing is in this country, uh th Christians are the one group, the one religious group you can totally make fun of and bash and and and and destroy uh Jewish people, there's uh there's a new wave of anti-Semitism all over Europe and the United Nations I consider to be the repository for anti-Semitism today.
Yeah.
Um and so I'll give you an example of how I do this.
Yesterday, are you familiar, Paul, with uh with my uh uh uh how should I say this?
The controversy at which I became entwined over comments made about the media, the way they reported on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.
Yes, I am.
All right.
Well, we just finished our Super Bowl here, and uh the Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman for the last three weeks has just been slimed by the sports media in this country.
They just said that he was the worst quarterback to ever play in the Super Bowl.
It's that they have been treating this guy with no mercy whatsoever.
They have been predicting doom and gloom.
They've been hoping that he would have a rotten Super Bowl, they're happily reporting that he did, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So yesterday, I said that I think the only reason that the media is down on Rex Grossman is because they have this social desire for the NFL uh to become uh modernized so forth and get with it for the twenty first century, And they just love trashing this guy because he's a white quarterback and they don't want him to do well.
Oh, yeah.
Now, I did that.
I think it's safe to admit it now.
I did that because I was trying to tweak the same media who went bonkers when I said the same thing about them and the way they treat Donovan McNabb.
And I was why 24 hours have gone by and they haven't picked up on it.
So either they knew I was joking and got the point, or obviously they haven't picked it up, so they knew that I was tweaking them.
Same thing here.
I was sim of course I don't think it's okay to call Jews apes and Christians pigs.
But to uh to to uh uh simply ask what's so hateful about that is my way of calling even more intent attention to how absurd it is.
Sure.
Just a new technique here to try to get people aroused and get them attentive to something that I do consider to be uh, you know, something that's pretty bad.
Yeah.
Oh, well, you know, totally understand.
Hang on just a second here.
Throw the switch and bring uh bring Paul back up on the air now.
Oh, yeah, I totally I I I totally get.
I haven't, you know, I've been listening for a year on the Met, you know, I I'm still learning.
I'm still a rush baby.
Well, this I'm happy to be able to explain this to you.
Times are serious now.
It used to be that uh new members, new audience members could get this show in six weeks.
You had to listen to six weeks uh to understand the combination of serious discussion of issues with irreverent humor.
The libs, after eighteen and a half years, still don't get the irreverent humor aspect of it.
Uh and I didn't want you laboring under a uh a misconception here.
It's not often uh that I give away the so-called tricks of the trade here.
But in your case, uh you sounded so earnest uh and so serious, I I couldn't allow you to labor any further in a misunderstanding of my attempt here to uh to make a point in a rather uh circuitous uh and uh unique way.
I'm thrilled that you're over there in London listening.
I'm uh I'm happy to have you as a member of the audience.
And Paul, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to make sure you didn't finish the busy day scratching your head over what had happened to me.
You should rest assured, be confident that nothing has happened to me.
I have uh never been better, okay?
Yes, Rush.
Thank you.
All right.
What do you do for a living, Paul, by the way?
Oh, don't ask.
You wouldn't believe me.
Can you take me off the air again?
Yeah, go ahead.
Throw the switch and take him off the air.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Paul, Paul, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Okay, now you're you're safe.
I have twenty seconds.
I work for the drive-by media.
I work for the BBC.
Really?
Folks, it's not that bad.
Bring him, bring him back up.
He works for the drive-by media, he works for the BBC.
And you're a rush baby?
I am a novelty.
I'll probably get the sack now.
You let us know if that happens, and I'll cancel an interview I'm doing with them next week.
Seriously, I'm doing an interview with him next week.
If you get canned, let me know and I cancel.
Back in just a second.
And a reminder, Rush Babe on board signs, now available at the EIB store at Rushlimbaugh.com.
What are we?
Jerry Lee Lewis here.
Great balls.
Oh, it's little Richard, all right.
I thought you were throwing great balls of fire at me.
Yes, we're back.
800-282-288-2.
Thousands of youngsters got a second day off from Scruwel today in the midst of a bitter cold snap that combined with heavy snow several feet deep along the Great Lakes.
At least seven deaths now have been blamed on the weather.
Cold air surging from the Arctic stretched from the northern plains.
Don't forget the Arctic is where they say it's warming up.
Um anyway, the cold air stretched from Northern Plains through New England and temperatures were below zero as far south as the mountains of West Virginia, slightly milder weather was on the way.
Now, look at I I just react to what the global warming people tell us.
I do so as a common ordinary everyday guy.
If we know how to heat up the planet, I mean they tell us that we're doing it.
We obviously know how.
Pollution, uh CO2, carbon emissions, all these things, why during the middle of cold snaps, ladies and gentlemen, couldn't we just really pollute?
Why couldn't we fire up the power plants and to max output?
Get everybody to turn on their cars, find every which way we can to create CO2 and just pump it out there and warm it up a little bit.
Where it is two degrees in Chicago, six degrees in Indianapolis, or whatever.
Why why couldn't we do this?
A mither limbaugh, global warming doesn't work that way.
Well, how does it work?
I mean, if we're if we're heating up, well, it doesn't happen at Pfefferlimbour.
Well, then there's no crisis, right?
That there is a crisis.
We're destroying the planet, Mythullimbo.
Well, I mean, if we know how to heat things up, and you're telling us telling us in the global warming side that we're good, we're facing chaos and destruction in 30, 20, 10, 50 years or whatever, since we know how to heat the climate, why don't we just do it when these cold snaps hit?
Seven people are dead.
If this keeps up, we're going to rival a death toll in a rock, and then what are we going to do?
More on this fishery story.
Ice packs and polar bears are thwarting fishing in Iceland.
Polar bears drifting from Greenland to Iceland on ice flows.
Fish merchants on the Humber may be throwing up their hands in frustration at the worrying decline in fish supplies from Iceland since the beginning of the year, but the underlying cause is something they would never have guessed: a massive deep freeze around the west coast of the country.
Yes, where it's supposed to be warming up.
While the rest of the world shudders at the prospect of global warming and all that it threatens to bring in the form of floods and soaring temperatures, Iceland has been bucking the trend and is having a dramatic effect on fishing activity around the What do you mean bucking the trend?
Precisely my point.
There is no trend.
There are wild guesses based on consensus of a bunch of scientists, many of them bought and paid for.
How in the world could it be bucking?
If it's warming up, it's warming up.
If there is global warming, the globe should be warming.
And if Iceland is bucking the trend, the Iceland's right where the warming is supposed to be happening.
Thick packs of ice, which have not been seen for almost forty years, ladies and gentlemen, have been moving into the western fjords across some of the best fishing grounds, followed by bitter winds and plummeting temperatures.
The ice has proved to be a serious handicap for fishermen who supply the Humber and other important centers in Western Europe simply because they've been unable to put to sea.
They can't go out and get the fish.
This has led to a market drop in catches, a fact that has been noticed on the markets of Grimsby and Hull since they reopened after Christmas.
Communities living around the fjord uh have noticed that their inlets have been filled with ice in recent weeks, ice drifting in from Greel Greenland, carrying dozens of polar bears on their ice flows.
Well, now we know what's happening to the fish.
Polar bear.
The return, this is the last paragraph of the story.
The return of pack ice to Iceland goes against all the forecasts of doom of global warming.
Although some forecasters think it may just be a climatic aberration.
Well, of course.
What really happens cannot be what's really happening.
The global warming models are what's real.
It's like Democrats thinking John Kerry was elected president because of exit polls.
Before all the actual votes were counted.
And after John Kerry lost.
Democrats and some wacko leftists thought that the exit polls were what was real and the real vote had been tampered with.
This is comical.
The return of pack ice to Iceland goes against all the forecasts of doom of global warming, although some forecasters think it may just be a climatic aberration.
Proving that no matter what happens, any weather extreme forecast or not will be chalked up to global warming.
A point that I made just yesterday, grab Audio Soundbite 5.
Yesterday I made the same point.
Even the cold that we're seeing this week will be blamed on global warming.
Every weather extreme is blamed on global warming.
Here is how Katie Curick opened her show last night.
How's this for climate change?
Much of the country is plunged into a deep freeze as what had been a warm winter suddenly turned sub-zero.
How's this for climate change?
The climate change is code word for global warming.
Global warming is what climate change is producing.
So anyway, how can a real event like ice pack ice not seen in 40 years in Iceland?
How can that be called an aberration?
And yet these scientists who have no science, just consensus.
And their models are said to be accurate.
Because they're a bunch of liberals, folks.
Here's Kevin in uh Anvil, Pennsylvania.
You're uh great to wait.
I appreciate it.
Thanks much.
Uh Rush, make a Nobel Peace Prize dudos to you, sir.
Thank you for that.
It is a pleasure.
Uh right off the belt uh if I if I can, my uh my wife is on the road today, and so she's listening.
And uh wearing a diaper.
I hope not.
Anyhow, uh um uh just as a suggestion, uh tropical heat wave, uh I think it was Romer Rosemary Clooney from uh Grumpy Old Men as uh your globe uh global warming update song.
I'll put it on the list.
But anyway, the uh the thing about the lady astronaut who uh uh had this problem.
I kind of submit that in a a high pressure, high stress job, be it fireman, policeman, astronaut, uh women are held not held to the higher standard, you know, because of fireman follies and uh the 105 town woman who was overtaken by the two hundred and fifty pound thug who ended up killing a couple of court officers and was talked down by the the gal who uh read uh um a purpose-driven life to him.
Oh, yeah, you're talking about uh the situation in Atlanta, yeah.
Right.
Anyhow, uh they're saying that NASA says they didn't see this uh this tendency in her emotional profiling.
I don't think that she was probably held at a higher higher standard.
Hmm.
Because you know, women women and men are different as far as their thought process.
Men think analytically, women think emotionally.
And so uh therefore I don't think that that you know she was probably judged in uh in that uh you know, in that high of a this takes guts for you to be calling here and accusing NASA of lowering standards to get women in the astronaut program.
I know I'm probably gonna be.
This is not the same thing as this is this is not combat in the military.
This is not fighting fires and lugging around hoses.
You know, the uh they're they're they're they're they're dealing in a weightless atmosphere, and these astronauts are some of the most intelligent people we have.
Look at look at the tasks they perform up there, repairing the Hubble telescope things going wrong in the International Space Station.
Um they are they are all at the top of their class in terms of pilots.
Sure.
Uh I I you know, I this is the first I've even considered the fact that the usual affirmative action standards in the rest of our culture will be lowered for female astronauts.
I've not heard that.
I'm just suggesting as far as emotional profiling.
Well uh I no, no, let me let me tell you something.
I I don't know a whole lot about this, but I do know I've I've read enough to know what these people are put through in the astronaut program.
They are put through isolation, solitary confinement.
They are put through circumstances that that uh we can come as close to replicating on space as possi uh in space as possible.
Uh they are they are put in heat chambers uh to test their ability to withstand the the stress of the air conditioning going on number thing it's it is not easy.
They're some of the most underpaid people uh doing what they do who have achieved the best in their lives.
And I frankly, and this I uh I would I would be stunned if there are such compromises in the uh in the in the qualifications, both emotional, uh psychological, uh mental, in you know, IQ, this sort of thing, uh, for people that make the astronaut program.
I that I would be stunned if if I was incorrect about this.
But if I am, I stand to be corrected by somebody that that knows.
But I you know, this this th this is uh this is rigorous, rigorous training these people go through.
I think, if anything, what happens, you get you get trained as such a taught uh straight line uh that when you snap you snap.
Uh but look at this is vi this is very uncommon.
Uh we we have not seen behavior like this before among the astronaut core, if you will.
Uh certainly not that we've learned of or or known about.
So uh that's why it's risky to make uh hasty judgments and generalizations about this.
We're all individuals, and uh typecast us in any way, shape, matter, or form, generalize us, stereotype us is a risky thing to do.
And until until we have all driven nine hundred miles in either her diaper or a diaper, uh, it's not fair or proper for any of us to actually be critical or condemnatory.
Uh I must take a brief time out.
Thanks for the call out there, Kevin.
We'll be back and continue on the EIB network right after this.
You know, this this could be very useful.
Uh during the uh EIB obscene profit uh center timeout here, where we make uh windfall profits.
CNN was doing a uh a story, they've got I guess they've got a series called Mysteries of the Brain, and a disease I have never heard of was reported on just now called face blindness.
Face blindness is when you can't remember the faces of your loved ones.
Now I have never heard of this uh disease, this affliction, this disorder, this uh whatever it is, but boy, I'll tell you what, I can think of a whole bunch of ways where it would come in real handy.
So I I'm not going to uh discount this uh right off the bat, because there might be ways for this to become useful.
Melody, Center Point, Iowa.
Welcome to the EIB network.
It's great to have you with us.
Ditto's Rush.
Hey.
Um, I'm just so sick to death of these Democrats saying that um Iraq is a catastrophic failure.
They want us to fail so bad.
I have an 18-year-old son who just joined the Navy, he went to field training or excuse me, basic training last night.
May I ask you a question about your son or two?
You sure may.
Uh, is your son have absolutely no economic future?
Is he totally depressed and thinks his only way to have a a possible opportunity to succeed in life is to join the military, and he really hates the military, but he's got no other option.
No, please don't make me cry.
My son um left college because he's going to be a doctor someday.
That's what he's adamantly.
Now, I'm not trying I'm not trying to make you cry.
This is what the Democrats are saying about people like your son who volunteer.
They claim to be support they claim to be supporting the troops, but they've done stories in the New York Times and on the networks about how people like your son have no future.
The economy in this country just doesn't provide for everybody.
Some people are hopeless, some people are destitute, and they have no hope of getting an education unless they go to the military and they really don't want to.
They're doing everything.
Look at everybody listening to you, Melody, uh-huh, feels the same way you do and thinks the same way we we are f we are just angry as we can be over the attempt to demoralize the troops.
We are beside ourselves with the Democratic Party's investment in this country's defeat in this uh in this war, and we don't understand how they got elected in the process of this.
Don't just do not understand it.
They're so full of baloney.
My son, he left college.
He he got his first semester in, but he's like, Mom, I'm gonna be a corpsman.
Those guys need me so bad.
He's gonna go, he wants to go and be with a marine unit.
He's gonna be a Navy corpsman, and he wants to go over and be with the Marine Unit because he believed that he can be there and help them and the future he has he literally just joined after his first year in college.
First semester, yeah.
After his first semester.
Yep.
And he wants to what kind of a doctor does he want to be.
Uh he doesn't really know right now.
He thinks ER because he does emergency room.
Right.
He's been an EMT for about six months, running ambulance calls on our volunteer service, and he um just wants to help people.
Well, uh he's doing it more ways than what when I hear stories like this about your son, uh, and I I by the way, I I did not mean to inspire tears.
I apologize with your question.
I I was I was I'm just i I was trying to make a point.
This is what the Democrats and the media have been saying about people like your son, and it burns us up.
It just and it just infuriates us because the fact of the matter is this.
Your son represents less than one percent of this whole population in terms of courage and guts uh and and a willingness to do something that ninety-nine, maybe more percent of the country would never do.
Right.
And we owe them, we all owe them a debt that we will never ever be able to repay them.
Yeah.
In light of that, we certainly do not need uh to be destroying their morale or impugning their character or their intelligence for doing this, and that's happening on the left today.
And these people all the while are saying they support the troops.
I know.
And and they're saying, you know, we just need to end this.
And I'm like, they don't get it.
We are at war.
They came here and killed our people.
And if we leave Iraq, you think they're gonna stay there and leave us alone?
Of course not.
But the left does.
The left doesn't think we face a real threat.
The Democrats, the American left do not they're more concerned about what they're out there actually saying global warming.
Hans Blix the other day, the UN weapons inspector, actually said that global warming poses a greater threat to the people of this planet than terrorism does.
Oh my Lord.
Now the bottom line is this, Melody.
You um you, and I'm sure you are, you need to be as proud of your son as any mother ever has been.
I am.
I am.
He is just he's an awesome kid, and he just you know everybody I tried to convince him to stay at school, you know, at least finish your first year, and he's he just felt so called that he that these guys need him.
He has a skill that he can bring to them to, you know, help save lives.
And for the Democrats to say, you know, oh, we're gonna pass a stinking resolution to undermine the troops and the president just for a political purpose.
Well, they say that that's not what they're doing.
They say they support the troops.
Their resolution, even though General Petraeus and the Secretary of Defense, Mr. Gates have said that such such a resolution would uh uh give hope to the enemy and would would uh uh cause a hit to the morale of our troops.
The Democrats are continuing to do it.
But look, Melody, take heart.
Lo and behold, the Republican Party in the Senate unified and denied them their resolution.
It didn't happen.
Gifts from strange places at unexpected times.
We all love your son.
We hear your story and we uh we share how proud of him you are, and we thank God that there are people like you and your husband and your son in the country.
I have to run.
We'll be back in just a second.
Okay, first of actually a second of two hours down now, and then they can.
Uh we will continue and we'll be investigating face blindness.
