Time Text
And here we are, back for more.
It's a one and only EIB network.
I am Rush Limbaugh, a highly trained broadcast specialist, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
I just sent Roger Ailes an email.
Said, Roger, we are definitely now in a country that is divided.
There are two Americas.
And there are no bridges.
And I I'm say we there are two Americas, folks.
And I said, Roger, you need to move Fox News to Dubai.
Follow Halliburton.
Uh and and uh if you think about them, we might have a branch office, they could vacation over there by one of those houses uh they're building on one of those islands, and uh just relocate to Dubai and be done with it.
Anyway, greetings, uh folks, the telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Special welcome to those of you watching today on the ditto cam at Rushlimbaugh.com.
Before we get to Fred Thompson, this is this is hilarious.
Story from Haley, Idaho.
A house cat attacked its own owner and sent her to the hospital by ambulance with more than 20 bite wounds.
What caused all this?
Well, the cat, which is a black and white domestic male, went on the rampage last Wednesday when a neighbor showed up at the door with a different cat.
And the neighbor thought that the cat that she was carrying belonged to the woman who had the other cat.
And the cat went went berserk.
Uh Jeff Nevins, the assistant fire chief for Wood River Fire and Rescue, said, yes, she went to the door and and and her cat went berserk.
The woman is in her 60s, was taken in a hospital with uh pretty serious puncture wounds.
Neither the hospital nor the fire department would provide any tales, details to the AP, or to say when she would be released.
Uh the owner said she's going to take her cat to the shelter because it's not the first time she's been attacked by the cat.
Come on, and I get attacked by pumpkin all the time when she wants to be fed.
Well, not attacked, I get head butted.
Uh and the other morning I was telling the staff here I refuse to react to the headbutts.
I'm not going to be run by a cat.
But I love this little cat as as you know.
I just I I melt with this little cat.
She'd be ten in August, by the way.
But she'll come in, she'll start headbutting me to wake me up before I want to get up, before I want to wake up, before I want to get out of bed.
And I'm not going to sit there and act like a slave to the cat.
That's that's reinforcing this kind of behavior.
So she actually pulled the covers off of me and started biting my big toes.
Never done that before.
Never pulled the covers off.
Didn't have too much to go, but uh wasn't a major project.
And uh I still didn't budge.
I just yanked my foot away and said, not doing it, puncture.
Just gonna have to wait till I'm ready.
There's food in the bowl, go eat what's there.
I hear this meow that I just know is an obscenity directed at me.
Well once once brought a uh another cat in in the house, and and pumpkin went berserk, I mean uh at the cat, not me.
You have to do it if you're gonna do this, you have to do it with smell.
You have to bring your second cat in.
If you've had one cat in the house for a while, cat thinks it owns the house.
It's the cat's house.
You just have the privilege of living there.
You bring another cat in and the cat sees it, you've got problems.
What you have to do is introduce the second cat in a different room with the door closed.
The current cat will smell it but not be able to figure out where, go berserk in the process, might scratch up the door where the other cat is.
But after a while, when they get adjusted to the scent and everything's uh everything's hunky-dory.
I've I've learned to be a pretty good cat psychiatrist.
Uh dealing with uh dealing with punk.
I say this really this irritates the left.
I said, I've learned more about dealing with women by having pumpkin than any experience in my life prior.
I said that one.
And they just went batty out there.
All right, Fred Thompson.
Fox News channel uh yesterday with uh Chris Wallace, who said, Are you considering uh running for president in 2008?
I'm giving some thought to it.
I'm gonna leave the door open.
It's not really a reflection on the current field at all.
As you know, some of them are very good friends of mine.
I'm gonna wait and see how it pans out and see how they do, how it develops.
I think Newt Gingrich is doing this too.
I think Newt's waiting.
These guys are gonna eat themselves up uh with so much time before the fall even gets around.
The first primary is not for something like nine months now.
You might be interested at Fred Thompson on the issues.
He's not as well known issue wise as perhaps Giuliani McCain maybe maybe on a par with Mitt Romney.
But here's just a a little summary of his uh uh position on various issues.
He's pro-life.
He believes that federal judges should overturn Roe v.
Wade.
Thinks it's bad law and bad medical science.
He opposes gay marriage, but would let states decide whether to allow civil unions.
He says marriage is between a man and a woman.
Judges shouldn't be allowed to change that.
He opposes gun control.
He praised last week's uh two to one federal appeals decision overturning a long-standing handgun ban in the District of Columbia.
Uh and his remark was basically the court said the Constitution means what it says.
He supports the surge, the increase of troops to Iraq.
He said wars are full of mistakes.
You rectify them.
I think we're doing that now.
We've got to give it a chance to work.
He said he would pardon Scooter Libby on his conviction for perjury and obstruct obstruction of justice.
He would do it now rather than waiting until all of his appeals are exhausted.
And I got I got a bunch of emails from people over the weekend uh uh when aft after this had been announced from uh and it very excited and look at this is anecdotal.
I'm not saying this means anything.
I'm just sharing with you some of the reaction.
But I haven't gotten it about any of the others.
Uh closest to it would be Giuliani, I guess.
But not not in the scope of uh of what we got, what I got uh from people talking about Fred Thompson.
Uh he is uh thought to be authoritative, uh a lot of presence, so forth and so on.
So uh it gets uh it gets more and more interesting out there.
Then the prowler today at American Spectator.org.
Anyone who doubts that Fred Thompson isn't the real deal needs to look at his performance on Sunday and rethink things, says a senior Republican National Committee official.
You can't watch Fred Thompson or read the transcript and wonder what the dynamic would be like with him in the race.
And he's talking about uh Thompson on Fox News Sunday yesterday, uh, where it says here, unlike uh Governor Romney, Senator McCain, Thompson has no problem addressing where he stood on issues from abortion, gun control, and campaign finance reform.
The uh RNC officials, it isn't just Fred.
I mean, you see and hear Jeb Bush and you realize what the GOP field is missing.
You see those two guys and you want to vote for them.
With most of the guys in the race now, you just feel like eventually you're gonna have to vote for one of them simply out of party loyalty.
This is an RNC official speaking.
Thompson doesn't have any campaign staff in place, not seeking support from his former colleagues in this in the Senate.
Although there have been published reports that uh Howard Baker, former Senator Howard Baker was on Capitol Hill last week seeking support uh for Thompson.
But a Republican Senate leadership aide said that Thompson wouldn't do that to McCain and Brownbeck and other former colleagues.
My understanding is that some members asked Baker about what he thought Thompson was doing, and Baker answered honestly he didn't know.
He said that Baker was not pushing Thompson up there.
Did uh any of you happen to see meet in the press yesterday with uh Ted Coppel uh on the round table?
Uh he was on there with uh Michael Duffy of Time Magazine, Michael Beschloss, the noted presidential historian and the Washington Post, Danit Priest.
And he said things about the war in Iraq that you will never hear anybody in the drive-by media or the Democrat Party say.
We'll play them for you when we come back.
Back to the phones we go.
People patiently waiting.
And we go to Hagerstown, Maryland.
This Jeannie, nice to have you, Jeannie.
Welcome.
Hi, how are you doing?
It's an honor to talk to you.
Great.
Yeah, um, I was listening um to Chris Planner on Friday evening in WBAL in Washington, D.C., and he was at that award banquet.
And he said that when uh Roger Harris got up to speak, that about fifty people got up and walked out, one being Ted Kennedy, and this is before he started talking, and Ted Kennedy said, I've heard enough already.
Well, it's I'm just telling you, it's two Americas out there.
Yeah, I mean it is really it is it is two Americas.
And I I you know, this this is not by any means unprecedented.
Democrats walk out of everything where there are conservatives involved.
They're just you know, people I think probably react a little.
Uh strangely if I use the word Stalinist, because it is rather harsh word.
Uh it's like calling a communist a communist.
You're really not supposed to do that because it nobody wants to think they're communist among us.
This was the line back in the eighties.
No, don't call them a communist.
Is there other ways to persuade people?
Stalinist uh uh is is a great way to describe what they are if we just go look it up.
I mean I'll explain it to you.
They're just intolerant.
There's only one point of view, and anything else got to be suppressed.
Uh and and uh in the in the true Stalinist days, anything that that was opposed to the state uh could land you in prison.
Ask Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
Now we haven't reached that point yet, uh, in this country, but it is it is clear they're they're not interested.
There, you know, we hear all these talk, well, there's rampant partisanship, but we must do what we can to promote civility and get away.
How can you do that when the left walks out of everything?
When the left doesn't even have the confidence of its own ideas to sit and listen to opposing and Ailes, by the way, I read the transcript of his speech, didn't rip rip Democrats.
It was actually very patriotic speech about the First Amendment, very supportive of journalists, and talked about the need for there to be diversity among journalists and so forth, but it was a it was a stand-up defense of journalism.
And the and fifty journalists walk out of there and and uh you know from AP and and Reuters.
Um make no mistake, uh here, folks.
This is this is not about uh uh trying to get along.
This is not about building bridges anywhere, this is not about trying to bridge the partisan divide.
There's no design.
I'm just telling you if these people win in two thousand eight, uh with the White House and they hold uh the House of Representatives, it's you you're you're gonna see one of the most blatant uh leftist power grabs the country has witnessed.
This is not the Democratic Party of the sixties, it's not even the Democratic Party of the seventies.
The sixties Democrats, you know, the war protesters are now running the show.
I when I'm talking about Democrat Party of the sixties, I'm talking about elected officials like Hubert Humphrey and LBJ and uh and that crowd.
Uh go back and look at some Hubert Humphrey speeches today on the family, you think you're listening to James Dobson.
Uh Jerry Falwell.
Uh we've got the we got we played those bites many, many, many, many moons ago.
And people were shocked and uh and stunned.
This is Barbara in Calderville, Illinois.
Thank you for calling.
You're next on the EIB network.
Well, hello, Rush.
A good welcome from Southern Illinois.
And we're just good to hear you.
We're not a f we're a first-time caller, but not a first-time listener.
Great.
It's nice to have you with us.
Well, thank you very much, sir.
Uh I'd like to comment on the Halliburton.
I'm so tired of these companies leaving our country, and I think it's about time they clamp down on this and either cut off their contracts or give 'em no more and make 'em pay back some of what they're taking out of the country.
You can't be serious.
Yes, I am.
And I'm not sure.
Well, who's gonna who's when you say they ought to be made to do this and they ought to not be able to get their contracts and they ought to have their contract, who's gonna do this?
We the people.
No, we the people are not gonna do that.
You know, we need to stand up for our rights.
We have a constitutional right, and it's about time we stood up for tested it before we've got together.
Where does it say in the Constitution we got a right to tell a business where it can move?
Ma I think I have the right to voice my opinion to all of my lawmakers, which I do quite regularly.
Most certainly do, but I mean that's Sir, ma'am.
You can voice your opinion all day long, but we don't have a constitutional right.
Well, I tell you what, all these com companies that are making goods outside of the United States cheaply sending back inferior products.
I I am just not for that.
They're running out to get out of paying their due share of what's due here in the country, and we're going to have to do something because these other countries are gonna take us over if we aren't careful.
And that's why I think those other countries don't have a chance in competition with a Democrat Party taking us over.
What's a democrat party?
We're uh we're supposed to be under a Republican uh Not a democracy, but a Republican.
Look at your Constitution, guys.
You're under a democracy, I agree, but that's not what we're doing.
This is not a democracy.
It's a representative republic.
I don't agree with you.
Well, you yourself said the other day that we're under a democracy.
What do you mean you don't agree with me?
You can disagree all you like, but if you're wrong, you're wrong.
And you're wrong.
You're wrong about it.
You are wrong about everything you've said.
It's sad.
You are you are so in uh misinformed.
You you you you you just it's it's it's no wonder the Democrats are having the success they're having when you think that they can go get Halliburton and punish them and bring them back and not let them move.
Who's they?
You obviously want the government to step in and tell Halliburton what it can and can't do and where it can and can't go.
Okay, who is the government?
Yeah, that's right.
You think they go all right, though it's we the people are the government, and that's time we stood up and say that's Civics 101.
But if you keep letting these companies go out of the country, my son works at a place at Feteville, this clothing and going to Mexico.
All right.
All these people are going to be out of jobs.
I'm I'm going to explain this to you one more time in the strict business sense.
Halliburton is a global company.
Halliburton is in the oil services business.
They don't have oil wells.
They're not part of big oil.
They don't drill for oil, they don't bring it up, they don't refine it, they don't do it.
They're in the oil services business.
They do a number of things related to what big oil needs in order for them to do their business.
There just isn't much business in the oil related industries in the United States.
And it's not because big oil is moved, Barbara.
It's because your precious government, led by leftists and Democrats, has made it impossible for them to do business here.
They cannot drill in this country.
We can't drill and end war, even though we have all these energy shortages and crises, ostensibly.
And although we're so dependent on foreign oil, we can't go get any more of our own than we already have.
China is going to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Mexicans in the Gulf of Mexico just found a huge field.
We can't.
We have environmental restrictions.
We can't upset nature.
We can't do anything in this.
So Halliburton, most of their business is in Asia, where they are going like banshees to try to find more oil.
There is a worldwide need for it because the world is forever growing, and more and more people are uh are becoming uh accessible or having access to uh sources of energy that because they've been poor and downtrodden has been denied them.
This is this means that there's a need for it.
You can do all the corn and ethanol you want, you can do all the alternatives you want, you can do all of the windmills you want, it's not gonna satisfy the world demand for energy.
Uh you could do nuclear power plants here to save a lot of problems, but of course the left won't let us do that either.
Ever since the movie the China syndrome, we can't have nuclear power uh in this country.
So Halliburton has a business.
Most of it's in Asia.
It's much cheaper to go where to your business located if you're based in Dubai than it is if you're based in Houston.
But they're not leaving the United States.
There's still gonna be a U.S. incorporated business.
They'll be paying taxes in the United States.
They'll still be subject to subpoenas from Democrats of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate.
They still be investigated and so forth, but it's uh clear business decision.
They're a global uh concern.
I just love this.
All these leftists who've been blaming Halliburton for being part of the giant conspiracy to take over the world's oil supply, particularly in Iraq, as part of Cheney and Bush's effort to enrich their oil buddies.
Now Halliburton's moving out, and it's you can't do that.
You're taking our jobs, you're taking most of Halliburton's jobs are overseas because that's where their business is.
There's only, I think two or three companies in the world, including Halliburton do what they do.
One of them's in France, and I can't remember the name of that company.
What is it?
Sean Roger.
Oh, yeah, it's right, this is Slomer.
Looks like Slumber Jay.
Uh but yeah, they're they're they're one of the companies that uh do it.
Barbara, I hate to say this, but you need you need to start learning.
Get rid of all these preconceived misconceptions that you have.
Uh, and then stop reacting like a robot to whatever sources of information you tune to and start using your brain.
I know it's hard.
Sometimes you know it can be hard to think.
Uh It takes effort.
It's much easier to react.
Get all angry and so forth, invent your frustrations, but start thinking.
Too many of you people out there are just absolute reactionaries based on whatever preconceptions that you have, based on the pablum that is being puked at you by the drive-by media and your precious little Democrat stallions.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
I had a good time.
*crash*
Look, folks, even you people who are stupid can think more than you are.
You don't have to sit out there and just be these silly little sponges for whatever incendiary rhetoric comes at you from the left.
You can think.
Everybody can think.
Well, like this got a couple of notes from Russia.
This is a lost cause.
You're talking to wrong people.
Stupid is stupid.
I do not have that condescending view.
Yes, there are differing degrees of intellect and so forth, but everybody can think if they're just taught to.
And everybody can be taught to be a skeptic.
Perhaps, ladies and gentlemen, I am too optimistic, but I have seen these changes take place in people that many have thought to be lost causes.
This is from Atlanta Urinal Constipation blog from last Friday.
It hasn't gotten widespread news yet or play.
But former U.S. Senator Zell Miller made a little news in Macon last week when he declared that abortion has contributed to the military's manpower shortage, the social security crisis, and the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States.
How could this great land at plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years?
Here's the brutal truth that no one dares mention.
We are too few because too many of our babies have been killed, said Zell Miller.
Over 45 million since Roe v.
Wade in 1973.
If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they'd be filling our jobs, they'd be paying into social security.
Still, we watch as 3,700 babies are killed every single day in America.
It's unbelievable that a nation under God would allow this.
And they say here on the blog, if you doubt if you doubt us, check the video.
They can't believe somebody would actually say it.
They can't believe somebody would actually think it.
So if they if you doubt what we're reporting here, here's the video.
At the Macon Telegraph's uh website, the comments are made at a Tuesday night fundraiser for a local anti-abortion counseling center.
State Senator Nancy Schaefer, a Republican from Turnerville, Georgia, who has become an ideological ally of Zell Miller on the abortion issue, made a similar statement almost exactly a year ago, but backed off upon inquiries by the press.
Somehow we don't think Miller is inclined to throw himself in reverse.
I would only have one small nitpick with former Senator Zeller over this.
How many of these 45 million children who have been aborted would be Democrats, would be the offspring of Democrats.
And as such, how many of them would have jobs?
As such, how many of them would even think of joining the military?
I know there's some Republican liberal babes in there that going out and had abortions too, but the vast majority of them are liberals.
This way, if you look at the demographics of the future, uh you you could say liberals are aborting themselves out of the majority.
Uh if current trends hold.
Everybody knows that's who's having the majority of these things.
All right, Ted Koppel.
He was on Meet the Press yesterday with Tim Russert during the round table with Michael Beschloss, noted uh presidential historian, Michael Duffy of Time Magazine, and the Washington Post Dana Priest uh priest.
Koppel, by the way, is now with the Discovery Channel.
Speaking of the discovery I have to tell you something.
You people know I am a huge aficionado of high definition television.
I have been watching some of the most amazing programming on HD Discover, Discovery HD about the migration of birds, the the shots, the video shots they get of all kinds, it's a two-hour show, hour 45 minutes, from birds all over the world and how they migrate.
There was something I watched last over the weekend, maybe it was Friday night, can't remember.
It was just some of the most amazing photography, and I watching it in high definition is I can't take my eyes away from it.
And there's nothing political about it.
It's just it's just straight down the world.
Some of the stuff's from Animal Planet, which of course does tend to be these animal rights uh wackos, but still uh it was some of this stuff was just fascinating.
The the photography as well.
Anyway, that's where Koppel is uh is working.
But he said some things on Meet the Press that you will never hear from anybody else the drive-by media or the Democrat Party.
Uh Russert said, Ted, the meeting in Iraq, the Iranians, the Syrians, the Iraqis.
What should we think about it?
Let me tell you what I we can't even agree that we spoke to them.
The Iranians in the United States cannot even agree that they had direct talks.
I mean, when you can't even agree that you've spoken.
Anyway, here's what Koppel said.
Everyone is concerned about the United States being in the middle of a civil war inside Iraq.
But they forget about the fact that if U.S. troops were to pull out of Iraq, that civil war could become a regional war between Sunnis and Shia.
The idea of pulling out of there and letting that national civil war expand into a regional civil war.
Something the United States cannot allow to happen.
Stop the presses.
Have you ever heard anybody in the drive-by media?
Well, yes.
Sort of.
We had the audio soundbite from last Friday, Michael Ware, maybe it was Thursday, Michael Ware of CNN talked about basically the same.
If we pull out of there, it'll be an utter disaster.
But where else do you hear that?
You don't hear from the Democrat Party who's invested in defeat.
They're doing their best.
They own it and they want to clamp down.
They don't even want to have a mortgage on it, folks.
They want to own defeat outright.
Uh and Ted Koppel saying pull out of there.
The United States cannot allow this to happen.
Uh and and now in this next one, you'll hear Russert and Koppel admit that Iraq is part of the war on terror.
You don't hear that from the drive-by media or the Democrats.
Iraq was unnecessary.
It was a diversion from uh Afghanistan.
Why we should never have gone there.
Bush lied, people died and all that.
Russard said, Ted Koppel, you are tonight airing on the Discovery Channel a special called Our Children's Children's War, the long war, as you called it.
Call it repeatedly.
That this war on terror is much more than just Iraq, and it's gonna go on for a long time.
If you look back at the elements of the war against terrorism, that war was going on and has been going on for the past 24 years.
We just didn't connect the dots.
Twenty-four years ago, uh the the precursors of Hezbollah blew up the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.
That was 1983, 241 Americans killed.
In the interim between then and now, you had two attacks on the World Trade Center.
You had the blowing up of Cobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, you had the attempt to blow up the USS coal.
You had the bombing of the two U.S. embassies in East Africa.
This war has already been going on for 24 years.
We were just a little bit slow to recognize it.
I should I pollute this by pointing out that a number of those incidents happened in the 90s.
Or should I just let this stand on its own?
What do you think?
A majority of these incidents happened in the 1990s.
We just weren't connecting the dots, uh, we weren't taking it seriously.
Uh uh but but yeah, I don't know.
Bill Clinton says he was obsessed with bin Laden, he was obsessed with terrorism.
He spent, in fact, his administration, he said, uh was telling him he's spending too much time on it.
Anyway, uh you don't you don't hear this in the drive-by media.
You don't hear this from the Democrat Party.
And here we have uh a couple limbaug echoes in this next bite.
Russard said, Ted Koppel, what do you see in Washington?
The Democrats are making a great deal of hay out of out of saying we have to get out of Iraq, and indeed we do at some point or another.
But the notion that the war will be over when we pull out of Iraq, and even after we pull out of Afghanistan, you heard what General Amazette had to say.
It's not gonna be over.
It's gonna be a different war, but the war continues.
Uh You know, language means something.
You said something a moment ago about it is the Democrats' goal to have all the troops out of Iraq by August of 2008.
Sometimes goals are met, sometimes goals are not met.
The Democrats are going to find themselves in a terribly uncomfortable position when this becomes their war.
Well, they think they can always make it Bush's war.
But he is he's right out of money.
Words mean things, language means things.
The uh Democrats own defeat uh in this war.
Uh right now it that's just not been firmly established in people's minds because Bush remains the focal point as the commander-in-chief.
But the Democrats are doing their best.
Well, actually, they're that they don't want to they don't want to own the war.
They want Bush to get out of there before they become president.
Uh Hillary Clinton even said that she would resent it if Bush didn't wrap this Iraq thing up by the time she is inaugurated in 2009.
I wonder if she'll be seminally upset if Bush doesn't wrap up this Iranian thing by then.
If he doesn't wrap up a North Korean thing by then, he doesn't wrap up the uh Venezuelan thing by then.
He doesn't wrap up the China problems that we have by then.
I wonder if she wants a clean Slavia.
This is just it's absurd.
In the Los Angeles Times today.
Uh very strange editorial.
It's worth noting.
Uh and if the American people understood what the Times editorial is saying that the bill the Democrats are talking about uh uh is nothing more than uh uh a bill, all of their resolutions are nothing more than than part of the electoral partisan process.
And that's the point this LA Times editorial makes.
That their their resolutions and their bills really have little to do.
Uh although I I will I will uh distance myself a bit from this.
I do think the Democrats are trying to secure defeat.
I think that but that's part of electoral partisan politics as well as they aim for the next election.
There's as far as the Democrats are concerned, nothing better could happen than for us to lose the war in Iraq and have the Republicans and Bush be blamed for it, meaning the Democrats get to sit there with open arms and sweep in all the voters.
But this is not about winning the war.
It's not about the the military serving and uh and doing so with valor and honor.
Uh this is about Democrats trying to enhance their electoral chances, and the LA Times has figured it out.
Congress can f can cut funding for Iraq, but it shouldn't micromanage the war.
In fact, the title of their editorial is Do we really need a General Pelosi?
Last paragraph of this editorial.
Members of Congress need to act responsibly, debating the essence of the choice the U.S. now faces, stay or go, and putting their money where their mouths are, but too many lives are at stake to allow members of Congress to play the role of Eisenhower or Lincoln.
We'll uh link to the editorial at Rushlinball.com.
If you care, you can read the entire thing.
Speaking of Pelosi, a few dozen peace activists marched across the Golden Gate Bridge and gathered outside the San Francisco home of Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, demanding that Congress stop funding the war in Iraq.
Toby Blom, a physical therapist, who organized the event, said San Francisco's been against this war from the very beginning.
This is our fifth year of the war.
Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans.
Blum was holding a plate of cheese and bread and a glass of wine.
And she was stopped on her way to Pelosi's front door, told the speaker would not see them.
Bloom said about ten other activists said they planned a camp outside the residence overnight.
I think these babes are from uh Code Pink.
Could it possibly be right in read the whole story?
At uh at any rate.
They're having a wine and cheese party.
Why I'm sure it was uh uh Shabley.
Uh uh might not've been something else.
Uh they're having a wine and cheese party while they're protesting, uh they're walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, two Pelosi's San Francisco residents.
A little long here.
Gotta take a break.
Don't interrupt me, don't ask me anything until we come back.
All right, let's stick with the phones.
Howard Beach in New York.
This is Charlie.
Nice to have you, sir.
Welcome.
Hey, Rush, make it ditto from the airport, baby.
I'm on vacation, and I always promised myself I was gonna call on your show when I was off.
But I had one two questions, if you'd be so kind.
Uh m sure, but I have a couple questions here.
Where are you going?
Uh well, pretty much just to Delta and Customs and back in Valley Stream, and it says driving eighty miles in a circle for twenty-one years now.
But I've only been listening to your show for Oh, I thought you were going on vacation somewhere.
No, oh well I'm going to Atlantic City Thursday.
But uh when I'm when I'm driving, and I you know.
I I I I'm glad you're feeling better, and I just wanted to see.
The day when Kerry lost, I was picturing you in your studio like lighting up a cigar and you were like the happiest man on earth.
And the the next one, let's say it's like a Super Bowl.
Do you think the next uh Hillary losing, because she's obviously gonna run.
I mean, be the candidate.
Do you think her losing is bigger than Kerry losing?
Because I respect your opinion, and I do Yeah, yeah, it is.
Because if if if uh if Mrs. Bill Clinton loses, that's the end of Clinton Inc.
for a while.
I mean, would you be happier?
I know you're Well, you know, we try to not exist here in Schattenfreuder that is taking pleasure and satisfaction in the misery of others.
Yeah, but you're a human being here fifty-five, I'm fifth, I'm forty-seven.
That was another thing.
I was gonna call you on open line Friday and suggest that you talk to women twenty twenty-seven percent longer than your mail callers.
And what's your explanation for that, sir?
Uh you've actually run that calculation, you've run those numbers?
Uh pretty much, because you said you're right ninety-eight percent of the time, so I figure you're big on numbers.
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm heterosexual.
Yeah, but you like talking to women.
You the if I was a radio show guy, I would probably enjoy getting calls from women.
Sure.
We all love women here.
I mean, why why not talk to them?
But you never mentioned, you know, like Giuliani, the country doesn't like him because he's a New Yorker, right?
And as I'm a New Yorker, no, Juliani's leading in the polls.
He's running away with everything so far at this point.
But you never said, you know, I know you're a Republican.
I mean, you would just vote basically who's ever running on the ticket, right?
It wouldn't it could be like uh I don't know, uh uh my mailman if he was a Republican.
I mean What are you trying uh what you're you're you're doing something with these questions?
I'm I'm glad to answer the questions, but you but uh you you're you're a confessed lib.
No, I am a liberal.
You don't have to be a man.
And I I can't vote for any of these guys because they're all horrible.
Obama's a joke and Hillary is this Satan and not Satan, you know, but you know, it's what the other sh the other.
Can I ask you something off the record?
Do you mind when people parody you on other radio shows?
No, no, no, no.
You don't mind that?
No, of course not.
I never hear it anyway.
I don't listen to other radio shows.
There aren't there aren't any other radio shows.
This show is cool.
Do you do do you do like all the uh you know, like all the the production yourself, or do you have a lot of people help you with it?
No, we got a staff here, three or four that uh that do the production order of things.
Yeah, we we're the real dawn.
I feel like I owe you because you give me all this entertainment for three hours, and I never given a chance to give you back anything.
Uh oh, you're doing quite a lot here today, and I I uh you know, this is it it's great talking to you.
There is a real dawn.
There is a real dawn.
My niece's name is Dawn.
And every time you talk to her, I feel like I think of my niece and uh that's how this program relates.
Really?
You're just part of the family.
I love you, Show Rush.
I just I'm glad you're feeling better.
I know you were sick for a while and I miss calling you on your birthday, and the main thing is it if you're gonna be happier if she loses than you were happier that the morning Kerry lost.
Because you sounded that I've listened to you for four years.
That's the happiest you ever sounded that one.
Yes, I mean I'm I'm not gonna deny there's joy when my side wins.
Of course I'll be happy when my s I hate losing to those people, but but the answer to the question I don't know if I'll be happier.
I'm just telling you that the meaning will be far.
But John Kerry losing is sort of like the Democrats throwaway candidate.
You call him Lurch, you know, I'm 47, and it's like that's my generation, you know.
Like you should you should come up with like a nickname for uh I don't know, for Obama or Hillary, you know, like you go like Dawn on Gilligan's Island and we've got a nickname for Obama.
It's O'Dumbo.
Oh, okay, sensitive to his ears.
Yeah, he doesn't like talking about that.
But uh anyway, uh as as I love you, Rush.
I'm glad I waited a long time to talk to you, but I just want to tell you I listen to you every day.
I'm going back to work Monday and Charlie, I've talked to you more than I talk to most women, but that's twenty-two percent.
That is, that's not that's not starting rumors.
I gotta run time's up back here in just a second.
Somebody on the phones thinks that I was uh uh bodily orifice, ladies and gentlemen, for the way I treated a previous female caller.
We'll get to that caller and uh Global Warming Stack.
I gotta I gotta start digging into it because it is mounting up.
Be right back.
Don't go anywhere.
