Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hiya, folks, and how are you?
It's great to be with you.
We've got broadcast excellence.
Uh next three hours.
Fastest three hours in media.
It is a privilege to be with you, a thrill, a delight, and an honor.
And as always, looking forward to talking with you when we get to the phones.
The telephone number is 800-282-288-2, and the email address is Rush at EIB net.com.
Well, here come the um it's Panic City again, the uh 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, according to the experts at the uh University of Colorado that or I'm sorry, Colorado State University.
That's uh the team that's uh headed and founded by uh William Gray.
Uh seventeen tropical storms, nine will strengthen into hurricanes.
Uh uh, they uh don't know where they're gonna hit, of course.
Well, I don't know, maybe they do, and they're just holding back on us.
But uh I remember last year their pre uh prediction came out, nothing happened.
Revised the prediction, that was wrong, revised the prediction again.
Supposedly El Nino's gone or is waning, and so in the uh Sahara dust storms, uh, which do affect uh a lot of our climate uh might have had an impact on the uh on the down hurricane season last year.
Both those elements are said to be less problematic this uh this year.
Well, problem with El Nino, or not the problem.
The good thing about El Nino and the hurricane regard is that um it creates upper level winds right across the Atlantic Basin, just rips the tops off those hurricanes when they form.
Uh, and when you rip the top off a hurricane, you um you pretty much destroy it.
And that's what happened.
Uh they think they're not sure, but that's what they think last year.
So, anyway, seventeen tropical storms, nine of which will become hurricanes, and I'm just wondering if on June 1st, the traditional opening of hurricane season, he will have drive-by media camera crews on the beaches in South Florida, and then of course we know we will in uh in New Orleans, scanning the skies, looking for hurricanes that might form anywhere near 15 and 2,000 miles away.
Uh and it'll be time to scare everybody and rant.
It's something that happens every year, and yet it'll be treated as something unprecedented.
Uh so just uh just get ready for it.
Uh, the president went back to television today, had a news conference outside in the uh in the Rose Garden today.
Here's a portion of what the president said.
The Democrats in Congress continue to pursue their bills.
And now they have left Washington for spring recess without finishing the work.
Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington and providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq.
Democrat leaders in Congress are bent on making a political statement.
Then they need to send me this unacceptable bill as quickly as possible when they come back.
I'll veto it.
And then Congress can get down to the business of funding our troops without strings and without delay.
Right.
Uh, not as forceful as uh as the president could have been, but he's still out there basically telling these people look, stop the theatrics, just get the bill up here so I can veto it so we can move on.
Meanwhile, Dingy Harry is saying, hey, you know, not only uh are are we gonna not do that, we're gonna we're gonna cut the funding and we're gonna set a troop level.
We're gonna do both things, Dingy Harry.
And if he doesn't have the votes, he's gonna keep trying for it.
So they've uh they've cast uh their their lot, and the president uh understandably put the responsibility for this on the Democrats.
The bottom line is this.
Congress's failure to fund our troops on the front lines will mean that some of our military families could wait longer for their loved ones to return from the front lines.
And others could see their loved ones headed back to the war sooner than they need to.
That is unacceptable to me.
And I believe it is unacceptable to the American people.
Congress's most basic responsibility is to give our troops the equipment training they need to fight our enemies and protect our nation.
They're now failing in that responsibility.
And if they do not change course in the coming weeks, the price of that failure will be paid by our troops and their loved ones.
And one more uh with the uh president again uh telling the Democrats, stop the theatrics.
I think the voters in America want Congress to support our troops who are in a harm's way.
They don't want politicians in Washington telling our generals how to fight a war.
There's been a political dance Going on here in Washington.
They need to come off their vacation, get a bill to my desk.
And if it's uh if it's got strings and mandates and withdrawals and pork, I'll veto it, and then we can get down to business of getting this thing done, and we can do it quickly.
It doesn't have to take a lot of time.
And we get the bill, get the troops funded, and we go about our business of winning this war.
So the the president obviously believes the Democrats here are just engaging in theatrics.
He thinks that that's what they're doing.
Okay, you got the game out of the way, you got the theatrics out of it.
Come back and give me the bills so we can get going.
And I think I I I don't know if if uh if he actually thinks that.
That's how he sounds, and I think if he does believe it, he's he misunderstands them.
Uh I I think that he's uh I can't believe that.
I I can't believe he misunderstands uh their intent.
I uh they own defeat.
I mean, they they uh they are wedded to folks.
I keep telling you this, I'm sorry to sound like a broken record.
They cannot afford victory politically.
They cannot allow it to happen.
They they are they are dead serious.
By the way, that last bite was in response to a question from uh from David Gregory, and the question was this you said the Democrats are undercutting troops the way they've voted.
They're obviously trying to assert more control over foreign policy.
Isn't that what the voters that elected them to do in November?
Bush didn't answer that.
Uh but clearly that's not what voters elected them to do.
And I'm not going to waste time here going through the analysis of the November election results.
Well, the Democrats did not campaign on that.
They didn't campaign on anything, and yet they're out there claiming uh claiming a minority and the uh uh look at it's it's it's this simple.
If that's what the election had been about, uh the president wouldn't have the fortitude to stand up to it.
If the election had been about that, getting out of Iraq, I mean, he's recognized Democrat uh electoral victories in a number of other areas, having meetings with them and this sort of thing.
Uh and you wouldn't have as many Republicans holding out.
The Republicans have counted votes.
They've got a letter, a promissory letter from a hundred and fifty-four Republicans in the House to the President to sustain his veto.
And that's plenty needed to sustain the vetoes.
So uh, you know, I I I don't know, this this uh this treat treaty.
I I I th I uh there's there's just a golden opportunity here.
These people are not engaged in theatrics.
It's time to hit them hard on the fact that this is serious stuff.
It's time to hit them on the fact that they are attempting to secure the defeat of the United States, the United States military, uh, not only in the uh uh Iraqi theater, but also in the entire war on terror.
I w you know, I got a lot of email notes last night from people who are watching uh last night's episode of 24.
Did you watch it last night's nerdly?
Do you like it?
Um a couple people uh sent me notes and said, you know, the uh the I'm afraid the show's jumping the shark.
And I said, What do you mean jumping the shark?
Where where did it jump the shark?
And uh, well, I mean, that the the the the evil Russian guy, Gradenko cutting off his arm in order to get rid of the isotope they'd injected to track him.
And I said, come on, that's that's pretty accurate portrayal of the kind of commitment we face in these people.
Um somebody else said, No, I think they jumped the shark when they lit off the nuke in episode four.
Uh and I said, Well, I don't I I don't know if the I don't think they've jumped the shark on the show.
Maybe it's been 24 by any stretch of the imagination.
But even though this person said, even though uh he thought that they jumped the shark by lighting off the nuke on episode four, it was still a good thing to show the American people what's possible.
And I wrote back and I said, you know, you're you're missing the whole point here.
In the first place, the Democrats and the drive-by media have done a bang up job of convincing a whole slew of Americans there is no war on terror.
9-11 was an isolated episodic event, and it doesn't pretend anything.
And a lot of people are we haven't had an attack on this country since 9-11.
That was 2001.
Uh this is 2007, and we're basically five and a half years away from that attack, uh, approximately, and a lot of people have wanted to forget it and have been able to forget it because of the uh lack of an attack, uh, and the the way that the whole Iraq war is being portrayed by the drive-bys and the Democrats is a people, you know, uh uh I I think they're looking at twenty-four now just as a television show.
They're judging it on the base of a television show.
I don't think people are watching 24 right now in uh in the guise of uh understanding what could happen or what is possible uh in in this country.
But I t uh well, no, I'm serious, sturdily.
I I do think a lot of people this could because they wanted to forget it.
It's traumatic.
And we don't show the pictures of it very often.
And uh but you couple that with the way the Democrats and the drive-bys have been talking about the whole business we don't been long in Iraq.
It's now our fault that the Brits are saying it's our fault that the Iranians took these 15 hostages, and it's always our fault.
Exactly what I told you Friday.
We're the big guys, we don't have any excuse for doing what we do.
All of the minorities out there, the smaller nations, they have every reason.
They have totally they can break the law, they can violate Geneva, can do whatever they do because they're up against us.
That's the liberal mindset.
Uh now we had 19 people flew themselves into buildings with our airplanes.
Uh and they didn't just cut off their arms, ladies and gentlemen.
They created a burning inferno, brought down two buildings of 2002 stories of buildings in a fireball.
It was thousands of degrees, and uh people have found a way to forget it.
And a one of us now, a little off on a tangent here, but uh uh the bottom line is that the Democrats are invested in the concept of obliterating 9-11 from as many memories as possible and convincing as many Americans as possible.
There's no need for a war on terror, and in fact, the war on terror is causing Muslims to hate us.
And that if there are any future attacks, it's going to be because of Bush.
That's what's being set up here.
That's why I don't think what the Democrats are engaging in is theatrics.
I I don't think that uh Dingy Harry and Nancy Pelosi, any of these people are engaged in theatrics at all.
We're seeing them as they really are.
They are telling us who they really are.
They're not actors on a stage.
These people are emboldened.
They they're feeling confident, all kinds of self-esteem.
They're they're unabashed in showing us who they really are and what their objectives are.
And we haven't even gotten to Nancy Pelosi in Syria.
We'll do that when we come back.
At the President's Rose Garden press conference, today got a question from an unidentified reporter said, You've um you've agreed to talk to Syria in the context of the international conferences in Iraq.
What's so different or wrong about Pelosi having her own meetings there?
Are you worried?
By the way, this was Jennifer Loven from uh uh the Associated Press.
And of course, it's a typical typical high school clique question.
You jealous of Miss Pelosi, what's so different or wrong about her having her own meetings there?
And are you worried that she might be preempting your own efforts?
In other words, a reporter at asking, are you worried she might get something done where you've failed?
Photo opportunities and or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they're part of the mainstream of the international community.
When in fact they're a state sponsor of terror, when in fact they're helping expedite or at least not stopping the movement of foreign fighters from Syria into Iraq, when in fact they have done little to nothing to rein in militant Hamas in Hezbollah, and when in fact they destabilize uh the Lebanese democracy.
The position of this administration is that the best way to meet with a leader like uh Assad or people from Syria is in a larger context of trying to get the global community to help change his behavior.
So the president basically saying, well, look at uh the guys are state sponsor of terrorists, terrorism, uh and it and and they're not part of the mainstream of civilized nations, they're going over there treating him like that, sends a mixed message.
Uh and what it also does is undermine the U.S. government's approach here.
Uh and make no mistake, that's Pelosi's intent.
Pelosi's intent along and she got three Republicans with her over there, folks.
You know, she wasn't hard to find three Republicans that want to try to score points at home uh in some in some districts that might uh have a majority pro-war people or anti-war people, you never know.
But it's it's she's over there trying to undermine the United States.
Now, and she in her mind she's trying to undermine George W. Bush.
And in her mind also, she's trying to establish an identity and a career for herself.
Can't take that out of it.
I mean, she's she's the Queen Bee.
Uh and uh, you know, not mentioned here is the reaction that somebody like Hillary Clinton will have to this.
Uh not sitting well in a lot of places, but you'll never hear that stated publicly.
Yesterday in Lebanon, uh Pelosi spoke to the press, a portion of what she said.
Of course, the role of Syria and and Iraq, the role Of Syria, uh uh supporting Hamas and Hezbollah, the role of Syria.
And in so many respects that we think there could be a vast improvement.
So therefore we think it's a good idea uh to uh establish the facts, uh, to hopefully uh build some confidence between us.
Uh we have no illusions, uh, but we have great hope.
Well, goody goody, yeah, we're gonna let's run the foreign policy of the U.S. on hope.
You are totally delusional, madam speaker.
Do you think Basher Assad has the slightest idea of dealing with you as the leader of this country?
You are a pawn, and he recognizes it, and you are being used.
You you think you're getting something done for yourself personally, maybe for your party, and then lastly for your country, you are simply being set up and used.
Basher Assad knows he's never gonna have to answer to you.
He's never gonna have to deal with you.
You go over there and you you you permit these people to uh uh continue to undermine the United States.
He's just nothing but a useful idiot.
Now, this is not new for the Democrats.
There is a story in the San Francisco Chronicle today.
Pelosi seen moving around Bush in Mideast, a bold step.
Analysts call speaker's trip a big deal, but how much can she do?
Uh her sidekick Tom Lantos, uh, in this article on uh on page two says, Yeah, he's from San Mateo, he's chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, he's with Pelosi.
Um one Republican lawmaker, this story says um we have an alternative Democrat foreign policy.
I view my job as beginning with restoring overseas credibility and respect for the United States.
So Pelosi is simply trying to repair the damage that George Bush has caused, and the Democrats have their alternative foreign policy.
The Speaker of the House has an alternative foreign policy, and she's over there trying to establish it.
Now, as I say this isn't new, I don't know how many of you were paying close attention to these kinds of things back in the eighties.
But we've talked about this before.
The um the Contra wars done in Nicorawa.
They had uh Daniel Ortega, the Sandinista leader, and he was the beloved dictator, as a communist, he was a puppet of the Soviets at the time, beloved by the American left, went to New York constantly.
I remember a story, went window shopping for some sunglasses with Peter Paul and Mary.
Uh well-known folk singers.
I think he actually bought some sunglasses somewhere in New York, walking down the street in uh in Manhattan.
The guy was a constant, he was just constant visitor, constant favorite.
But we had the Bolden Amendment, and the Reagan administration wanted to fund the opposition, the freedom fighters called the Contras, uh opposed to the communists and the Democrats who ran the House at the time would not allow it, and they passed the Baldwin amendment and led to the Iran-Contra scandal with all the Ali North stuff.
Uh no one to rehash that.
What I want to remind you of is that during this incredibly tense time, numerous Democrats are going down and conducting their own foreign policy with Ortega.
Several of them.
Um in fact, after uh after Reagan made a speech one night, uh the then Speaker of the House, Jim Wright, known affectionately here as Fort Worthless Jim, put together a dear commandante letter signed by a bunch of House Democrats.
Jim Jones, who was then from Oklahoma, left the House and went on uh for a while, ran the American stock exchange in Chicago.
But a number of others, George Miller from uh from California, Northern California, whole bunch of them.
Dear Commandante, please forgive our president, essentially, this is what they said.
Our president's a little bit nuts, and and do not mistake uh his words for the words of the people of this country or your friends, the Democrats in the House of Representatives after such a letter.
Ortega would flit off to the Soviet Union and come back with another five hundred million dollars in funding to uh to keep his revolution going and try to take the country communist.
Everybody was afraid they were trying to establish Soviet beachhead there in Nicaragua, much as uh they they established in Cuba.
Uh and so the Democrats have a long history of sidling up to totalian totalitarian dictator types, even communist enemies of the United States.
So this is nothing new for the Democrats.
And they were saying about Reagan the same thing they're saying about Bush.
He's a danger, he's an embarrassment, he's a clunk head, he's a dunce, uh making our country look bad around the world.
This is horrible.
We have to do something to fix this.
I remember one time when Ortega went to Russia after getting such a support letter from the Democrats, went off to Russia after Democrats voted against Contra aid.
Ortega flits off to Russia, comes back with the uh $500 million in aid.
Democrats are embarrassed as hell, and they sent George Mitchell down there, who or George uh George Miller, who was uh still in Congress in Northern California, went down there to to lecture or take hey, you can't do this.
You don't don't embarrass us this way.
And it got to the point where I kept asking, what in the world you guys are supporting a com we are not.
We are not support.
Well, how would it be any different if you were?
I mean, your votes are the same.
You're voting against anybody but try to drive them out.
You're voting against freedom fighters.
So Pelosi's trip is no different than the past what Democrats have done.
Sidle up to the enemies of the United States, hold them in great uh regard, and attempt to undermine the foreign policy of the country when they are not in power to make it.
They cannot, they do not make U.S. foreign policy.
That's not the role of the House.
Uh it is uh not the role of the Senate.
It's the role of the executive branch.
We'll take a brief time out and be back after this.
Welcome back, folks.
You you people watching here on the Ditto Cam at Rush Limbaugh.com may have seen this.
Little polar bear doll sitting here in my microphone boom, and and it it it's uh is my effort uh to campaign for the uh Nobel Peace Prize to uh indicate that I have uh compassion and understanding for the plight of the uh polar bears, and the fact I've gone out and actually I was given a little uh little polar bear doll here, little red ribbon on it, cute little thing.
Uh and uh that's uh some of you, some of you wondering what it is.
I don't know if you can see it clearly on your screens at home, but it is a little polar bear doll.
I am Rush Limboy, you're highly trained broadcast specialist, and by consensus, the most accurate media figure in America today.
By consensus, I mean that the vast majority of the American people listen to this program.
This program with the largest media audience of its kind, therefore what I say has been endorsed by consensus by virtue of that listenership.
Therefore, I'm the most listened to and the most accurate and therefore a source authority.
Anybody who disagrees is simply a rush denier.
Your phone calls are coming up, 800 282-2882.
First, you gotta hear this on CNN today.
Anchor Tony Harris is uh talking to David Rodham Gergen.
And he says, uh, what are your general thoughts and impressions of what the press uh president had to say this morning at his press conference?
With most administrations in the past, knowing of showdown was coming, people would start angling for, okay, well, after the showdown, how do we get together?
How do we sort of compose our differences, reconcile our differences, and go on?
Most presidents you see at this point when they're as weak as this become agile.
They begin moving around.
How do I maneuver out of this situation?
How to maneuver out of this corner?
This president is not trying to do that.
I think you're right on that one.
Well, thank you, Tony.
Tony Harris, the anchor at uh CNN.
I think you're right about that.
David Rodham Gurgen.
Here's the thing, folks.
What is the compromise?
David Rodham Gurgen, very, very aghast here that Bush is so confrontational when he's um when he's so weak.
Uh, and he's not working on compromise.
Somebody tell me, how in the hell do you compromise between defeat and victory?
Where's the middle ground between the two?
The only way I see it is, well, if you're if you want victory, uh, you got to give up victory, and you've got to compromise with defeat.
And maybe you won't want to go with defeat as soon as the Democrats want it, but maybe what you say is, okay, uh we'll we'll we'll lose in two years or three instead of uh next March.
Instead of a year from now, let us lose two.
This is like negotiating on the minimum wage, although the stakes are not as great here.
Defeat and victory, I don't know where the compromise is, but if you're gonna Democrats want three bucks an hour to increase the minimum wage, and a Republican says, Well, I'll give you a buck and a half and Democrat, okay deal, and everybody goes, yay, yay, cumbaya, we got compromise.
We have no compromise.
We have a Republican cave in.
When that happens, you accept the Democrat premise.
Or right here, David Rodham Gurgen, everybody else wants Bush to accept the Democrat premise.
That's what they mean by compromise, accept defeat.
You're defeated, Mr. President.
You don't have any support.
The American people are against you.
Nobody on Capitol Hill's got your back.
You gotta give up.
You gotta admit defeat.
You have to allow the United States to lose This.
That's what the American people want.
I'm so sick and tired of Democrats running around saying the American people want X. American people.
How do they know what the American people want?
You know, to broad brush stroke this like this is uh is offensive to me.
But anyway, I don't know where the compromise is.
So what and Gurgen knows this.
Gurgen, uh relatively smart guy.
They're all advocating and trying to pressure Bush to compromise and admit defeat and secure it so that the Democrats won't get the blame for it.
You can't uh you can't take that out of the equation.
Uh let's get some phone calls before we move on to the Mitt Romney situation.
The media.
The media is just beside itself.
They cannot understand how in the world some ditz, some Mormon, like Mitt Romney got so much can't campaign contribution when he's so down in the polls.
Chris Matthews last night had saliva dribbling down the chin.
Can't figure this out.
Had to conclude, well, he's got to be getting money from rich fat cats out there because he's so low in the polls.
Where is he getting all this money?
Then the drive-by media in the print version here says he's getting it from the Mormon church.
Oh.
No, he's not getting money from the Mormon church.
He may be getting money from Mormons, but not from the Mormon Church or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints out there.
Anywhere they're beside themselves.
You know, because they've got they tell themselves stories.
Okay, early, you've heard this.
It's becoming a cliche.
I'm sick and tired of it.
Uh the first fundraising totals of the end of the first quarter, March 31st, are the first polls.
And according to that theory, then whoever's down in the poll is not supposed to have much money.
You know who's surprised everybody is McCain.
McCain come in twelve and a half million dollars, and the drive-by's are all over him.
Now they're trying to sandbag his report out of Baghdad that he was able to walk around in a security zone all uh unharmed and so forth.
And the same drive-by media that he considered his base is trying to destroy him.
New York Times and out there found a couple ringers that supposedly run market shops in Baghdad.
Who's he kidding?
I mean, it had an increased security detail.
We're not safe here.
Uh with the McCain's crazy all over the place.
McCain's nuts uh now and his uh fundraising is way down.
He's just he's blown it.
The American people don't want to go to war in Iraq anymore, blah, blah, blah.
Twelve million dollars is paltry compared to others.
McCain says, Well, you know, I really don't like asking people for money.
Other people are saying this is what McCain Feind Gold got you.
Anyway, the real story though with the drive-by is Mitt Romney.
They just Oh, and then Rudy.
Rudy said, Leave my wife alone.
Now, this worked for a couple other uh candidates.
Let's see if it works for Rudy.
Uh no, it's not gonna work for Rudy.
In fact, when you get up and say, leave my wife alone, you may as well be painting a target on front and back of her shirt.
Uh go and attack me, Rudy said.
I welcome it.
I asked plenty about me to attack, but leave my wife alone.
Leave her out of it.
You know, if you're gonna if she's gonna be with you everywhere on these things, I mean you you're inviting it.
It's uh anyway, all that coming up.
I want to grab some phone calls here before we get this funny audio sound bites on Romney.
This is Mike in Cincinnati.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Consensus dittoes from Cincinnati.
Yes, sir.
Appreciate that.
Uh be real interesting to see when Miss Pelosi gets back if she does the responsible thing and and trots up to the White House and reports or talks all over the Middle East to uh the president like she should, even though she was asked not to go.
Or do you think there is uh some space reserved in the Washington Post or the New York Times for a Joe Wilson-like op ed.
Yeah, I don't think Bush would even see her if she wanted to go up there.
I hope not.
He'd probably farm her off to Carl Rove or Josh Bolton.
Uh I don't think he would see her.
I don't think he would think what she has to say is important.
I would hope that.
I would hope that would be the case.
We can expect all kinds of op-eds.
We can expect media fawning.
We can you know this it's gonna be like uh, you know, the Queen returning home.
They'll roll out the red carpet.
Oh, it'll be huge.
It'll be huge.
Anybody that has the you know guts to stand up and uh try to publicly humiliate Bush will be loved and adored by the uh, you know, the DC drive-by crew and um half the others that live there as well.
So I yeah, I'd I'd look for an op uh maybe a nationally televised press conference.
I'm I wouldn't put it past.
You know, but the there are a lot of people that suffer delusions in that town.
She actually thinks that uh she was elected to uh a position far more powerful than the Speaker of the House.
Hershey, Pennsylvania, Glenn, thanks for calling your next on the program.
Great to have you with us.
Well, thank you, Rush.
Hey, isn't it unconstitutional for Pelosi to be running her own foreign policy?
As a matter of fact, any of the Democrats that go over there to tour the area try to whip up support for their premise, isn't that operating their own foreign policy?
I don't I don't know if it's unconstitutional.
I don't I don't think it uh it might be.
I that'd be a stretch.
Uh it's it's uh it's it's to me a far more real world violation, uh, and that is respect and common sense.
This is clearly an effort to uh to undermine uh not just President Bush but the entire United States foreign policy.
And don't forget the premise it's based on it's based on the premise the world hates it.
It's based on the premise that people like Basher Assad are genuinely nice guys, and Hezbollah and these people are generally nice guys.
It's just that we make them who they are.
Uh we we we we support Israel, we provoke them, we uh we're out there killing Muslims and so forth, and it's our fault.
So Pelosi and her gang want to go over there trying to show Basher Us that we're not bad people.
You can work with us.
Uh do what you can to get us elected in uh you know two thousand and eight.
And and uh and we uh you know, you know, we'll do what we can to here to to mend fences because we know you're not a bad guy.
You know, you can you know being an idiot, uh being a sap, uh being uh, you know, suffering delusions of grandeur are all not unconstitutional.
If they were, half the people in Washington would be in jail.
Understood.
All right, thanks for the call.
Pat Chicago, Illinois on WLS.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Oh, Megadeth's rush.
I'm for Clumped.
I've this just makes my day.
Well, appreciate that.
Thanks for a call.
Um My point is that I was thinking about how much the Al Qaeda and Democrats have in common when the Democrats tenationally pursue the Republican de jour, this one being Gonzalez, and the Al Qaeda are tenacious enough to keep going until the Democrats pull us out.
Well, now some people are gonna I don't care.
They're gonna blanch at a comparison of Pelosi and the Democrats to Al Qaeda.
Yeah, well, the Democrats haven't blown up any buildings yet.
Some of their supporters did in the sixties.
Uh but they they haven't uh they haven't done any of that.
Well, but just their tenacity, just their, you know stuff that doesn't just doesn't make any sense.
I'm going after Gonzalez for nothing.
No, no, that makes total sense if you understand who they are.
It makes total sense.
I mean, there they this is you know, I'm I'm up against it on time here, uh coming up to the next break.
But ever since Watergate, the Democrats' lesson that they think they learned is that the route to power is via scandal in the Republican Party, creating it as often as possible, lying about it if necessary, creating in the minds of as many Americans as possible Republican uh administrations, individuals are corrupt, and uh and and do that rather than than uh run on the things they actually believe, which they didn't do in uh November.
They ran that trick again, just as they have frequently, and they tried it constantly since uh since Watergate.
But you know, what one thing you said, they are tenacious.
These these are people uh there's here's the best way I can describe this.
Uh you and I, we go to work every day, and we finish work, uh, and most of us try to leave work at the office as much as possible and have other things going on in life.
Uh our kids, well, your kids, I have none.
Uh, and your grandkids.
Oh, whatever.
You you try to I know work takes a lot of time, and and some people don't get away from it as much as they would like, but you still try.
Uh most people are not scheming 24-7 about personal advancement or whatever.
There's a balance.
Now the Democrats and the Republicans at the same way, I'm convinced.
In Washington, these people are pit bulls, the Democrats.
They 24-7, they are plotting, they are coordinating.
Uh your word was uh was tenacious.
They know they have the drive-by media as willing accomplices, so there's a lot of coordination.
Uh in uh if if not implicit, then it's uh it's uh not direct, it's implicit.
And they they they are constantly, when they're when they leave Capitol, they go home, they have meetings, they go to the bar to go wherever, and they plot the next day's strategy, and they plot the day after that, and they plot the week and they plot the year.
Uh And they have meetings with people who advise them on the right words to you.
Republicans go home and pfft whatever they do.
And the reason for it is that Democrats and liberals require for anything they want to happen to have an iron-fisted control of government.
It is their dream.
It is their passion to wholly control and run the government.
Republicans have no such dream.
The thing they want to do with government is limit it and restrain it.
They don't want to populate it and become part of the bureaucracy.
And that's one of the differences.
That's the tenacity that you're talking about.
It's their lives.
Everything they do is oriented toward gaining and holding and amassing their power.
And uh their strategy for accomplishing that is to destroy as many Republicans as possible, not just defeat them.
We'll be right back.
Stay where you are.
Our hero, Vice President Dick Cheney, yesterday, Birmingham, Alabama.
And when you listen to this, see if you can uh uh find something in here that uh what's the way to put this?
Well, the vice president's making a an incorrect assumption.
It's time the self-appointed strategist on Capitol Hill understood a very simple concept.
You cannot win a war if you tell the enemy when you're going to quit.
The fact is that the United States military answers to one commander in chief in the White House, not 535 commanders-in-chief on Capitol Hill.
All right, now watch the flaw in what the Vice President just said.
I'll tell you what it is.
You cannot win a war if you tell the enemy when you're going to quit.
The flaw is his assumption that Democrats want to win the war.
They don't want to win.
Folks, if they cared about winning the war, they wouldn't be doing any of what they're doing.
Now, I know what the vice president's trying to do.
He's not actually talking to the Democrats here.
He's speaking to his audience and whoever else happens to hear his remarks, and in that sense, it's a brilliant state.
You can't win a war when you tell people you're going to quit.
He is calling the Democrats quitters.
And he's making no bones about it.
They own defeat, calling them quitters.
And that's actually a good very simple word to convey to the American people about the Democrats and their objectives here.
Ron and Houston, thanks for calling your next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Omega Ditto's mighty one.
A reason I called.
This has been a point of frustration for about the last three months right now.
How long is everybody going to forget how many times the Democrats have tried to give away everything this country's done?
And I'm to the point now.
I'd like to offer up the money to basically put most of the Democratic Party on Rimlin because they're becoming an out-of-the-control reality program.
In fact, they may be the basis for the original reality programs out there.
Can you explain to me how they keep getting away with the junk they're putting out there?
And they do it over and over and over again.
I watched it during Reagan, and when the huge threat of the Soviet Union was out there.
Yeah, we basically discovered the fact that the Soviet Union is basically kind of a rusty bucket ready to fall over, but until the day it happened, Reagan was looked at as a fool.
I'm not particularly a big fan of George Bush, but George Bush can get the job done.
Let him be president.
I'm sorry.
I'm I'm I'm just I want to just scream right now.
If I understood everything you're saying and your call's a little distorted, uh you're you're wondering how in the world do people keep falling for the same Democrat trick.
It's the same thing over and over and over again.
I'm I'm an ex-Navy officer.
I uh spent a lot of time uh out on USS aircraft carriers.
I spent a lot of time watching situations that I'm sitting there watching what's going on, and I'm listening to what the media is putting back out in the States, and there's no correlation.
Well, I explained this.
Look at there's so many factors in this answer.
In the first place, the public education system.
Young skulls full of mush have grown up not learning about history.
They've grown up being told that Bill Clinton was a great president, and Abe Lincoln's worth one paragraph.
Uh they've they've uh in many cases grown up and been told that the white settlers of this country, the original settlers, were racist, sexists, bigots, homophobes.
Uh they've been inculcated with conflict resolution that uh that that tells them that we're the problem and we have to cave and give up.
Uh We also have a bunch of people here in a nation of prosperity and vast affluence who don't have to pay attention to these uncomfortable things if they don't want to, and they don't have to quote sacrifice.
And as such, when the Democrats and the media in concert convince them there's no problem, they'd something they'd like to hear, and so they believe it.
Back in a sec.
Up next, we'll take a look at uh Mitt Romney being savaged for how much money he is raising and from where and whom, despite being so low in the polls.
The drive-by is just don't think this possible.
Sit tight.
