Time Text
Hi, folks, and welcome back.
Great to have you on the most important and by virtue of consensus, the most correct radio talk show in history.
This is the Rush Limbaugh program here at the EIB Network Network, and we come to you from the distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, as usual, uh performing today's program with half my brain tied behind my back just to uh make it fair.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800 282-2882, and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Look at this, the Wall Street Journal.
Right here, my formerly nicotine stained fingers, lead editorial, Harry's War.
Democrats are taking ownership of a defeat in Iraq.
Hmm.
Where have we heard that before, ladies and gentlemen?
Why, right here on this program.
Democrats own defeat.
There's no question about this is about Dingy Harry.
You know, I I have to tell you, could uh uh share with you something here from Rich Galen, who uh has his blog that's called Mullings, and he's he's really right on the money about this.
If the Republican Party apparatus were up and running with any kind of efficiency at all, the RNC would be demanding of every Democrat in the nation running for or serving in any elected office to declare whether or not they agree with Harry Reid that the war is lost.
And there would be a number of Republicans demanding his resignation over this, as we have done on this program.
But the Republican apparatus is not up and running.
Uh about the only Republican apparatus uh apparatic that's out there is Cheney.
Vice President Cheney is is uh he's taking all the arrows.
It's what happens to pioneers, uh, and he's the only one throwing any spears out there and firing back at these people.
Uh it is uh it's is breathtaking uh to uh to watch this.
Harry Reid and the Democrats, and by the way, the Democrats circling the wagons around Dingy Harry.
No, no, no, he doesn't mean the he's just saying we we we we have no way to win a civil war, and that's what this is that we don't have any the Democrats want victor, they do not want victory.
Um they know that that Dingy Harry has stepped in, and he's not he's not backing off on this uh at all.
Uh he can't uh afford to, but I I tell you, uh the Democrats are doing long-term damage to themselves.
They don't know it.
I don't know when it's gonna manifest itself in terms of electoral results.
It could be 08.
Um there's something very interesting about you know, Obama is out there pretty much taking the same line.
Mrs. Clinton is going to have to make a calculation.
Obama's catching up.
And uh uh, as Galen points out, it's not Mrs. Clinton that's gonna have to make a calculation.
It's Bill.
It's Bill Clinton, it's the brains of this pair.
It's Bill Clinton that devises the strategy.
And they're gonna have to figure out at what point do they start moving left to head off Obama to pass.
Um, you know, Dingy Harry and Pelosi, I mean, these two people are becoming the spokespeople for the Democrat Party, which cannot please Clinton Inc.
And it's all about this situation with the uh with the war in Iraq and the war on terror.
Uh and it'll be interesting to watch how this uh how this all plays out, because they are doing incredible damage.
They they're they own defeat, they are seeking it.
Uh they're excited about it.
Uh they can't wait to send this bill up to the president that will uh no doubt be vetoed.
And one of the things Pelosi and Reed are saying is, well, we're happy to send this bill up there because this will finally give the president total accountability on the war.
Finally give the president total accountability on the war.
I read that and I said, what the hell does this mean?
And I figured it out.
There's a bunch of Democrats that are that are nervous about the fact that they voted for it.
Back in 2002, 2003.
In fact, back you go back to October of 2002, they demanded in the Senate, the Democrats demanded a new debate and a new resolution that they could sign.
Because they could read the tea leaves back then.
The polling data, the American people were clearly all for this.
And now they want to wash that away.
And then so they think they can send this bill up there.
The president will veto it, and the bill basically gets us out of Iraq by next April.
And when he vetoes it, then they're gonna run around and say, it is his war.
It is officially now Bush's war.
We have nothing to do but it.
He is totally and singularly accountable for this failure and for this defeat.
And they're going to start tagging him with it.
That's that's the game plan here.
And Cheney is uh is not backing off.
This was late yesterday at a press conference on uh on Capitol Hill.
The vice president met with uh Republicans.
He said this.
The timetable legislation that he is now pursuing would guarantee defeat.
Senator Reed himself has said that the war in Iraq will bring his party more seats in the next election.
It is cynical to declare that the war is lost because you believe it gives you political advantage.
Yeah, but this is nothing new.
You remember when Gephardt, little Dick out there was the uh he was the majority leader in the in the in the in the house when the Republicans ran the place, and the stock market was going through, I think it was the dot-com bubble that burst.
The stock market was plunging.
And uh Dick Gephardt's out there rubbing his hands together in glee.
Every hundred point loss we pick up a seat.
And he was excited.
The misery of the American people, economic disappointment and melees would lead to more Democrat seats.
And that's what Dingy Harry's out there saying, too.
Uh, that uh, you know, the the war in Iraq is gonna bring them more.
It's purely political.
It's it's nothing more than a political issue to the Reed responded yesterday uh to the vice president with this.
The president sends out his attack dog often.
That's also known as Dick Cheney.
I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who is a nine percent approval rating.
Oh, well, that has nothing to do with it.
If that's a time to get into a little uh tete, isn't it?
When you got your opponent at nine percent.
How can you lose dingy Harry?
Doesn't want to get into it with him because he knows he's in a tentative position.
And there are a lot of it.
David Broder was on um uh what was he on?
Some C-SPAN.
Oh, yeah, some show on satellite radio, and and he's concerned that the Democrats are blowing this.
He's not excited.
He thinks dingy, not happy with Reed at all.
They're fumbling this.
Uh and a number of other uh press people, and not can they this isn't this is not gonna this is not gonna redound positively for the Democrats.
It's not looking good.
They're they're the drive-by some of them, not all of them, but some of them are trying to send out, you know, little warning signs, little red flags, hey, you guys better rein this back in.
Now, one person not hearing it is Dennis Kucinich.
He was on CNN last night, the uh situation room with Wolf Blitzer, who asked him uh why the vice president?
Why why impeach him?
If you're so concerned about the war, as opposed to the commander-in-chief, that would be the president you should impeach.
Well, the uh vice president had a singular responsibility in whipping up public sentiment to lay the groundwork for a war against Iraq on false pretenses.
And the articles of impeachment cover that.
And there's another practical uh reason, Wolf, and that is that if uh someone was to aim at impeaching the president, uh then Mr. Cheney would become the president.
I don't think that this country could tolerate two consecutive impeachments.
So I think that the evidence is there to focus on the vice president.
Two consecutive impeachments.
The only reason they're pursuing Cheney is because he won't shut up.
He's out there taking it to them every day.
And uh Kucinich is mounting this this uh this movement.
Blitzer said, well, look, high crimes and misdemeanors, that's a high threshold, specifically explained to our viewers here at CNN what your articles of impeachment.
You have three of them.
What are they alleging?
Well, the first article, and I quote, says that he fabricated a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the United States are the United States armed forces against the nation of of Iraq.
And the second article points to the fact that uh he fabricated a connection between uh uh the government of Iraq and Al Qaeda and use that to justify war.
And the third article says that he's uh openly threatening aggressive war against Iran, which is a violation of Article 6 of our Constitution and a violation of Article 2, Section 4 of the UN Charter.
Well, we're gonna impeach somebody because they're Violating the UN charter.
Anyway, that that's that's uh that's who they are.
And just like the Sheryl Crow and uh Laurie David tour, I offered to underwrite uh the rest of that last week.
No, Monday.
Uh if they would continue on the bus tour, keep talking.
More people hear these ding bats, better we all are.
But somehow the tour's over.
The bus tour ended when it got to Washington.
So my effort to be compassionate and generous, underwrite the tour uh failed.
But if uh Kucinich, I hope CNN keeps giving him a platform.
I hope he continues to talk.
General Petraeus testifying before Capitol Hill today up on Capitol Hill before Congress about the uh the the horrors that would result if we pulled out prematurely in uh in Iraq, and of course, Pelosi is not going to attend.
I mean, she's got enough time in her schedule to fly off to Syria to meet with uh that little terrorist supporter of Basher Assad.
She can't spare an hour or two for General Petraeus.
Remember, the Senate confirmed him unanimously to uh run the uh the surge.
Um not interested.
Uh in fact, she says this is not even a political issue.
Pelosi says the war in Iraq and the way there is not even a political issue.
It's an ethical issue.
And she's got more important things to do to get bogged down in the latest ethics case.
Anyway, brief time out.
We'll get to your phone calls when we come back here on the EIB network.
Sit tight.
Don't go away.
I welcome back Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have utilizing talent on loan from God to Vancouver.
This is Doug.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Welcome.
Hey, well, please to talk with you, Rush.
Um longtime listener, first time caller, my brother actually, Dean in Minnesota actually introduced me to your show in uh a few years ago.
But anyway, straight to the point.
You mentioned earlier about the uh drive-by media uh and the gloom and doom of the Dow hitting 13,000.
Well, I tell you what, last night I was watching uh Brian Williams.
I I don't remember which uh which network he's in, but uh wait, wait, wait, wait.
Now that that's that's not.
I mean, you that was a joke.
NBC.
Okay.
But anyway, they're doing this story about how capitalism is flourishing in Russia, and people are instead of standing in breadlines, they're they're buying cars, and instead of standing in breadlines, they're going to be able to do that.
They're also being murdered if they criticize Putin.
Well, yeah, well, yeah, and all we could do was talk about the interview, this liberal who's talking about how bad it is that everybody's not sharing in this in the meantime, the economy is just roaring.
And they they can see gloom and doom in everything.
Even the fall of of communism and a rise of capitalism.
I was just dumbfounded to sit there and listen to them describe.
Well, you badly look at you.
You gotta you have to understand the context in which drive-bys report this stuff.
They're not excited about the fact of capitalism succeeding in Russia.
That that's that's not what when this when that news is received by the editors in the newsroom, that's wow, capitalism's working.
Well, we gotta that's not it.
You have to understand, going back 50 years, drive-bys, liberal democrats, liberals, period, have always admired the Soviet Union, particularly when it was a communist nation.
They really loved it then.
And now they've always had a soft spot in their heart that Russia could have should have been something.
It just had more time.
That communist nation could have revolutionized the entire world and showed us all how to do it.
And now Russia's coming back.
They don't write that.
It's just it's a it's a way of pointing out how great Russia's doing against how rotten the middle class in America is.
Because while we have we have crossed the 13,000 number at the Dow Industrials, the drive-bys are not reporting this.
The drive-by is I I will guarantee you, if Al Gore or John Kerry were president and this were happening, this would be all that would be on the news today.
The Dow Jones industrial average is over 13,000.
It's setting records and so forth.
But today, in the New York Times and other places, we've got stories on the squeeze.
It's occurring to people in the middle class.
The inequities, the wage gaps, the unhappiness, the fear, the uh over the loss of jobs, the fact that we're just one paycheck away from being homeless.
So many Americans are being left out.
Wall Street may be doing well, but Main Street's in the toilet.
And it's a problem.
And what are we going to do?
And this sets up this you know, everything in America has to be chaotic.
There has to be tumult.
Uh cannot be happiness or contentment.
And so the uh the the good news here on Wall Street, Wall Street is if if it's if it's not being ignored, which it is for the most part, will be reported as a class thing.
The richer getting richer, the middle class is getting squeezed, they're being stolen from, and so forth and so on.
Um nothing don't worry about this because um uh like the the the headline I saw this morning, strong corporate profits boost Dow Jones industrials over thirteen thousand points for the first time.
But have no fear, folks, the Democrats have every intention of changing that in 2008 when they get elected.
They're not gonna stand for this.
The Dow has to come down.
And they'll do it by raising taxes, they'll impose nutty environmental wacko rules, they will investigate the companies for these obscene profits that are being made, and they will drive down the economy, and they'll blame Bush for it.
Uh even now, the fact that Wall Street's over 13,000, but Main Street uh is probably gonna even have a number, it's probably a minus number for Main Street in their minds, that will be Bush's fault too.
What'll be portrayed as Bush's fault is the gross inequities and the gaps of between the halves and the have nots, which are which is a a fabricated story.
Uh it is not the case that the wage gap is widening, and the income gap and that the gap between the wealthy and the and the poor is right.
It is not.
These are contrived numbers.
It depends on how you look at it, and they've found the way to look at it uh to uh to make it happen.
And this shows how the media and the and the Democrats are one and the same and how they create or ignore or manipulate news.
Because I just I'm just telling you, if this if this if there were Democrat president right now and this were happening, this it'd be the greatest economy since Clinton.
And they'd be debating is this economy better than the Clinton economy?
Both would be great.
Both economies would be the fabulous greatest economies U.S. has ever known.
That would be the question.
Now they're doing their best to ignore it or to characterize it in a way that's not realistic.
Here's Mark in Chicago.
Great to have you, sir on the EIB network.
Welcome.
Hi, Rosh.
Another longtime listener, first time caller.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I wanted to call and uh comment on uh some of the information that the media leaves out about these Iraq-Al Qaeda links, uh, particularly when they got on the war path right after you interviewed Cheney about this subject.
And they that's right, they did get on the war path after Cheney appeared on this program and they've stayed on it.
That that's they've been on it for a few years, but these stories always leave out the 1998 trip that uh Iman Al-Zawahiri made to Baghdad and received $300,000 from either Saddam himself or someone in their uh right underneath him.
And this has been cons confirmed by a couple of Clinton officials, including Buzz Patterson.
Uh and another note that hasn't really been mentioned by anyone in the media is that hundreds of members of Saddam's uh regime, including a lot of his top guys like Isa Al-Dowry have have admitted working with uh Zarkawi and Al Qaeda since the invasion, and hundreds of them have been caught.
Uh there's a couple websites that do not mind.
We we no no, I uh I don't mean to interrupt you, but I've got I've got time vanishing here, and I want to uh I want to respond.
We've gone through all those details on this program.
But but uh it's if you think that the drive-by's are gonna report that, you're you're crazy.
That's not the template.
That's not the action line of the story.
The action line is Cheney lied, Cheney made it up.
Here's here's what we are being asked to believe.
In 1997, 98, 99, 2000, 2001.
Al Qaeda was in Singapore, Al Qaeda was in Indonesia, Al Qaeda was in Florida.
Al Qaeda was in Minnesota.
Al Qaeda was in Arizona.
They're taking flying lessons out there.
They're living amongst us.
They went to Vegas just to get a little debauchery in before meeting the 73 virgins, who are hopefully dressed as nuns.
Uh Wouldn't that be cool?
Well, it'd be cool.
Anyway, Al Qaeda was uh Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda was in Jordan.
Al Qaeda was in Egypt.
Al Qaeda was in Pakistan.
Al Qaeda was in Iran.
Al Qaeda was.
Well, they were everywhere.
Al-Qaeda was everywhere except Iraq.
They had the world surrounded, but they were not in Iraq.
That's what we're to believe.
The action line is Chady lied.
They are not going to report.
In fact, they're they're going to do their best to disabuse the notion that Al Qaeda had a presence in Iraq, which they did.
I gotta go.
Back after this, my friends.
Be right back.
And here we are having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Again, the telephone number 800 282-2882.
Look at this.
This is from the Columbus, Ohio Dispatch.
It's uh Ohio's greatest online newspaper, it says.
Headline says it all.
Senate passes bill to remove insane and idiot from state law.
A bill removing words such as idiot, lunatic and insane from the pages of the Ohio Revised Code got final approval from the Senate yesterday.
Ohio law refers to an idiot nine times.
The word lunatic appears six times in Ohio law.
Well, more than fifty instances of the term insane can be found in decades old laws written to describe people suffering from uh mental illness.
House Bill 53, which passed 32 to Zip.
What a great politically correct vote that was.
Will remove these words and others, replacing them with inoffensive phrases.
Governor Ted Strickland will sign the bill.
Uh the changes will make Ohio law more sensitive and help to reduce the stigma of mental illness, and Senator Robert Spada, a Republican from North Royal to uh Royal Royalton, Ohio.
Now, removing the words from state law does not change the Ohio Constitution, because the words will stay there.
Article 5, Section 6 is titled Idiots or Insane Persons.
They've actually got an article in the Ohio Constitution dealing with idiots or insane persons.
The section includes this sentence.
No idiot or insane person shall be entitled to the privileges of an elector.
Another section of the Constitution on public institutions uses the phrase insane, blind, and deaf and dumb.
So in Ohio, the idiots have caught a break.
Uh they are they're gonna have their names removed or their their their titles, whatever, removed from official law in Ohio.
Hartford, Connecticut.
This is Neil.
Nice to have you, sir on the EIV network.
Megadidto, oh exalted provider of show prep.
Well, thank you, sir.
Um I I can't help but remember, I think it feels like about a year ago now.
You were talking about one of your fabulous cigar dinners that you went to.
Yes.
And if I remember your telling of the tale as I hung on your every syllable, um, I seem to recall you saying that you and Rudy Giuliani had each put up a hundred thousand bucks to do a walk-on roll on twenty-four.
Now, unless you were one of Chang's snipers on Monday night's episode, I haven't seen you yet.
Is that still on?
Is that still going?
Yeah, but I I I just I haven't had time to get out there and do it.
I'm probably not gonna have time.
They're they're wrapping up uh this season, and I they're they're they're down to the wire on it, as always happens when they get to this time of the year.
They're um they're they're working feverishly throughout the day.
I'm not gonna have time to get out.
I haven't had time to get out there.
Uh uh when I went out there to shoot the pilot uh this just in, it was weekends, they weren't shooting 24, so I'll probably they'll they start shooting in July or August for the next season, and uh I'll probably do it.
You know, I was hopeful that I was hoping that your super secret meeting was you going to shoot.
Yeah, no, no.
I would have told you that.
I would if it would I would have told you I was going out to shoot the uh the 24 cameo or walk-on.
Uh I don't think you handed off your walk on to McCain.
If that if McCain got yours, I'm I'm not advocating.
No, no, no, no, no.
That that McCain didn't get my nobody's gonna get my walk on.
I'm a d it's it's I don't even know what it's gonna be.
We haven't even discussed it.
Uh It'll it'll it'll uh it'll happen at some point.
I appreciate your interest in this.
That was uh by the way, the uh you got the money pretty close, and the donation was uh to the the prostate cancer foundation of Michael Milken.
Um and Cerno offered this, Joel Cerno, the creator, producer, writer, executive, everything of 24 made this available at uh cigar dinner over a year ago, but uh thirteen months ago.
You'll let us know when it's gonna happen, though.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Um now I may not tell you what the walk-on was, so you'll have to watch and see.
I don't know.
I I I have no idea.
Actually, I'm holding out for a more prominent appearance in just a cameo walk-on, if you want to.
Well, hold out hold out hold out for a love scene with Chloe.
Hold on for that I'm not doing.
Uh not not going to do that.
But I I appreciate your interest in this.
I had uh frankly it slipped my mind until I saw your call up there and had read the uh the slug line on it.
Uh Neil, thanks very much.
This is Kathy in uh in uh Weymouth, uh Massachusetts.
You're next in an EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
I just I was dying to talk to you about how people are so worried about Rosie O'Donnell having a a breakdown or something, and uh I'm pulling my hair out because uh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Ho, ho, ho, who's who's worried that she's going to have a breakdown?
Well, you had mentioned it earlier.
Not a breakdown, but just that you know, oh, what's happening to Rosie?
Oh, I didn't no no no didn't say that.
I just I I well that not might be how you interpret it.
I'm just something she used to be a different personality than she is now.
I'm just I I'm convinced that she's miserable.
She's unhappy uh and and is you know acting out something.
She's she's got she got serious problems.
Well, I I also heard uh Bill O'Reilly mentioning, you know, he was worried about her.
And uh I remember back to 19 uh 96, during the election when she walked out on the stage, I believe it was David Letterman, it could have been Jay Leno, but I I I mean it was the beginning of my I couldn't stand her.
She walked out and yelled, Bob Dole sucks.
An American hero, uh I mean, what has she ever done that comes near Bob Dole?
And that's when I knew who Rosie was.
That is Rosie being Rosie.
That's who she is.
Yeah, I remember that.
Oh right.
Yeah, but but you got she she's she's been around for a long time.
The left props her up because they you know, the left it is often said that the by the left uh that they are the sole guarantors of the First Amendment.
They alone are out there protecting free speech, when in fact it's just the opposite.
The speech police are comprised of leftists.
Political correctness isn't all that is is censorship.
And now the spies, the speech spies that are out there waiting for the next slip of the tongue by a conservative media personality, names not mentioned here, just waiting to pounce.
The thing about liberals and free speech, you can say whatever they agree with.
You trash God, you trash Catholics, Christians, and Protestants, you trash conservatives.
You will be supported, you will be heralded, you will be promoted.
If you say things that liberals don't want to hear, uh huh, then they have to shut you down or discredit you or embarrass you or destroy you or what have you.
There's no free speech to these people whatsoever.
Rosie is a great illustration of this.
Uh she's one of them, and she was out saying things that they loved, and so we must be tolerant in these circumstances.
And we must respect all opinions.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's when liberals hear opinions they don't like and don't want to have to deal with that they turn into uh into giant censors.
Jim in Asheville, North Carolina.
Hello, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, what an honor.
Megadiddoes from uh the People's Republic of Asheville.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, uh Rush, you had made a comment, and I just uh wanted to call in uh the wage gap uh wage gap.
I love the wage gap.
The wider the better.
I do too.
And and in fact, I don't think the wage gap is wide enough, and I think the Senate and Congress should do something and address it because Rush, the closer that wage gap is, the less incentive people have to pull themselves up to the next level whether that's yeah, but we I need to explain what you mean.
When folks, when he says if the wage gap narrows, what he means is they're gonna start taking money away from the wealthy.
And in your view, that's going to eliminate a lot of people's chance to get into that group of people.
Uh and and uh once there's no once there's no different, uh once there's no difference, there's no incentive to move up.
Everybody will be the same.
That's what you're saying.
It sort of defies human nature.
There's always going to be a group of people that will outperform others, no matter what rules and regulations and taxes there are.
There will always be people that do that.
They're always going to be hated, they're always going to be held up as targets, they're always going to be accused by the left liberals of uh of stealing from the poor in the middle class and so forth.
But uh you're making a good point.
And uh basically what they're doing is taking away incentive and dream.
And um I I just really would like to see the wage gap uh be correctly defined as the difference between hard work and education and not uh having those two things in your resume.
Well, I agree with you.
Uh it they i they are defined that way in a number of places, just not where you want to see it.
Uh folks, it's time for a reminder.
And I don't mean this to be a downer, but you want to see things and read things in the drive-by media that you're not going to see or read there.
They they just too many people are defining progress or success by defining how the drive-by medias might uh be coming around.
That's not going to happen.
They're they they do they run on action lines and templates that are forged early in their lives as liberals.
They go to journalism school, they're they're uh cemented uh even further.
They are who they are.
Uh the they they are not they're not to be persuaded so much as to be conquered.
They're to be dwarfed.
And that's what this is all about.
It's, you know, we've only been at this since 1988, uh, and a tremendous amount of progress has been made since then, but they still have a whole lot of power, not as much as they used to have.
Uh takes them a lot more time to affect and move public opinion than it used to, but they can still do it.
But you you're you're you're not gonna an economic story, any economic story with a Republican in the White House or the news is good, that's not got what you're gonna get.
You're gonna get stories of the you're gonna they're going to find people who are not doing well, uh that are miserable and unhappy and uh been fired or laid off by some evil boss and a company that may be just going gangbusters and through the roof, but they don't care about their employees.
It's just it's written in stone.
This is who they are uh and and what's going to happen.
You th the ever since Bush was inaugurated back in uh two thousand one, uh the economy has been a story they're not interested in unless they could pin the recession on Bush, unless they could pin two million jobs lost since Bush was inaugurated, two million this.
Um that's that's just who they are, and that's what they're going to do.
And if you're looking for that to change, you are you're setting yourself up for perpetual disappointment.
Be right back.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
El Rush Ball and the excellence in broadcasting network to Leslie in Seattle.
Glad you called.
Hello.
Russ, bless you.
Wanted to call and say that I just listened to Barbara Walters spiel on and spew on about the president's motorcade that was outside of her street on the way to her house.
She couldn't cross the street.
The police would not let her cross.
And she said to the policeman, don't you know who I am?
And then she said to Wait, wait, wait, oh, ho, ho, are you saying she told this story?
Yes, sir.
She did.
She just shot the case.
She had a wait, wait, wait.
Where did she tell this?
Don't that just give me as short as an answer as you can here, but we'll get back to your story.
She told it on the view this morning.
She was on the view this morning, and she she was upset that the president's motorcade had her street blocked off, the cops wouldn't let her cross the street.
She actually said on the view, she went to the cops and said, Do you know who I am?
Yes.
And she said there were She said there were two female policemen monitoring that portion of the motorcade or the bear cade.
And then she says, with her eyes rolling at the top of her little head, and I say little, not by accident.
She says, He's not a king.
He's the president.
Now that I can't, I look and I can believe that she'd be upset by it.
Most people in New York are when this happens.
Clinton shut this place down, so he was coming up here all the time.
Clinton would shut this place down for block after block after block.
And these people like Barbara Walters never complained.
This is just about Bush.
I can't believe she would actually say, though, on the radio that she went up to a couple of female cops.
Do you know who I am?
She actually are you sure about this?
She she said it, Russ.
I was so mad that I started dialing your number and I couldn't dial because my finger was shaking.
This is the first time I've ever called a radio show in my life.
Well, we're honored you chose this one, and we understand why.
But I just I can't.
I I I can't believe she would admit that.
You know what?
I f I f I've I think there's a lot of hormones flying all over the place over there at DeVie.
That that's that's got to be when you think about that's that's that's just can you oh that's like half oh I can't I I've I've got a description, I just I don't think I'll share it with you.
Uh but no, I'm just I just you walk into that place every day.
It it's gotta be every nightmare you have ever had about women or a relationship going bad uh to walk into that infestation of liberalism, stupidity, and ignorance every day, and have to defend it and prop it up.
If you're Barbara Walters, a Queen Bee over there with Rosie, who knows, you know, complaining about the flavored dog biscuits they put on the floor for in a dressing room.
I think it's got to be just an absolute nightmare.
That that show is it's indescribable to me.
The amount of genuine ignorance.
I mean, everybody's entitled to their opinion.
I don't of course, but uh the idiots just got a break in Columbus.
And by the way, what's never said an idiot and a liberal.
I mean, they're just idiots over there.
They're idiots.
And Barbara Walters, you know, she has a at least a great reputation as a journalist and a woman of distinction, refinement, and character.
She's thrown herself in with that lot over there, and she's been propping up uh uh Rosie for so long.
I just something's happening.
I can't believe, folks, this is you don't I know Barbara Walters.
I've been to a couple of her parties.
I should tell you about one one time.
Uh I ended up singing as a Christmas carol.
Haven't been invited since.
Invited back since.
But I've the the come out and admit that you walked, that's generally kind of comment that an uh that a uh pedestrian would hear call page six with.
And it being page six that Barbara Walters was upstrutting her stuff and asking cops, do you know who I am?
And then she would be denying it.
Here she she is admitting it on the view.
I'm telling you, something isn't right over there, and it hasn't been uh for the for the longest time.
I've still I'm gonna withhold till I actually hear this myself, because I cannot, unless she was trying to be funny, you know, like I do.
Uh I I've got to hear this myself, because but but it's important to know here how the viewer watching the show interpreted this.
Anyway, there's there's a whole lot of reputations in that show that are spiraling down like a corkscrew.
Um stop with that.
Uh back in just a second.
Okay, getting eyewitness accounts now, Barbara Walters, and I this this I couldn't believe that she would have said this.
Barbara Walters did not say to the cops, do you know who I am?
We're getting the audio of this, so we'll have it in the uh in the next hour.
Apparently what happened was she's telling the story, and everything else that we heard about the story is true.
She's complaining and whining and moaning.
She couldn't get across the street because Bush motorcade would go in there.
He's not a king, he's just the president, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then one of the uh one of the other babes on that show said, uh, well, uh, well, I use the word babe advised advisedly, but one of their women on the show said, Well, did they know who you were?
Um and the rest of it I don't know, but apparently I was my instincts are right on this.
We'll find out for sure.
But that's coming up.
Uh we got a lot of other sound bites.
We got a pretty good global warming stack today, too, as well.
So uh we'll make the most of it as we always do, saying more in five seconds than most hosts say it an entire week.
