Time Text
My gosh, I almost just got written up, folks.
Here in New York, we work under strict union agreements, and I I I turned on my own microphone there, and I realized the mistake immediately I turned it off, waiting for the engineer to do it, and I said, please don't write me up on this.
It's been so pleasurable not having to see Mo Thacker.
Uh this trip.
He's uh head of the United Screeners Union, also uh handles engineer grievances.
You're not gonna write me up, are you?
It's just a habit.
You know, then in Florida I can do all this on my own.
Up here I have to wait.
I have to send signals.
If you're watching on a ditto cam, you see me do this.
It means give it to me.
It means turn on the microphone.
You had a switch right there.
But I have to defer.
Well, well, yes, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you with us.
Our telephone number uh 800-282-288-2, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
The Senate, as we speak, is voting on defeat in Iraq.
They are voting on failure.
The House already has done so.
Let me suggest a uh slightly different take on all this.
I've touched on this a couple times before, but I want to assure you of something.
I know that you watch all this and you wonder why in the world, and we've talked about this too.
Why why is there no outrage from the American people about what the Democrats are doing?
It's what elections are for, and just be patient.
It will happen.
Because the Democrat Party sowing the seeds of their eventual destruction.
Maybe not this year, maybe not even in 08.
But my friends, I am telling you something.
You cannot be a party advocating surrender in the middle of a war against terrorists and last very long.
The statements and actions of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the others are sealing their fate.
It's gotten it's gotten to the point David Broder, who is now 80, and he is considered to be the dean of Washington columnists and journalists, has called Harry Reid out.
He said, Can't we do any better than Harry Reed?
The Democrats need somebody better than Harry Reid.
It's not just Alberto Gonzalez that's incompetent.
It's Harry Reed.
It's in it's not me saying this.
I have said it.
It is David Broder saying this today.
Now don't get me wrong.
Just because I think it's going to sow the seeds of their defeat eventually, I'm not happy about what they're doing.
I don't like what they're doing.
I don't like how they're undermining our troops.
And I'm getting emails from the troops.
I can't read them to you.
The names they're calling Harry Root.
People in Iraq, the names they are calling him.
Uh it it they're they're they're fit to be tied.
And I know the Democrats know this, but what they're rolling the dice on is that there are only two million or so military families in America, and what if if all of them hate the Democrats, that's not enough.
We can we can counter the two million American military families to hate us with illegal immigrant votes, the black vote, or whatever other group of votes that they're looking for.
They're making a calculation here.
We can we can afford to anger military families and dis disrespect them because we're gonna please so many others.
That's that's the calculation that they uh they're making.
But I I I'm talking here primarily about the political reality of what they are doing.
And I do think this, at some point, the American people will lose whatever little respect they have remaining for the drive-by media.
The drive-by media, they've made no buns about it now.
They have tied themselves to the leftists in this country.
They are playing that game, and when you play that game, you suffer the consequences.
They have tried to maintain this pretense of objectivity all these years.
You to this day you call them liberals and they freak.
They get mad as a group or individually, even though they are.
They think it's somehow gonna harm their reputation, and it will.
You don't have to call them liberal anymore.
They are attached.
It's become a symbiotic relationship.
It's always been the case.
But now that there is a competing media, the dividing lines in media now exist.
And they have they have thrown their lot in from the uh from the New York Times, the Washington Post, in most cases, uh the news magazines, the broadcast networks, they've thrown their themselves in with the with the Democrat Party.
And their agendas are The same.
And it's not lost.
I know you get frustrated about this, but it is not lost on the public that the New York Times and the Washington Post have revealed national security secrets during this war that have helped the enemy and harmed our security.
It's not lost on them.
You might be saying, what about 08?
Well, the Democrats didn't run on any agenda in 08.
They're pretending they did now.
The problem with 08, not that liberalism won anything.
The Republic.
Oh, no, 06, yeah, last November.
It wasn't, it wasn't that the liberalism won anything.
The Republicans just didn't get on the playing field.
And oh, don't, don't, don't try to think I'm wrong about what I'm saying by the 06 election results.
But the drive-by media, they're no longer reporting.
They are actively involved in promoting the Democrats and undermining the troops and undermining any potential domestic enemy they see.
Not reporting.
If they were reporting, if they're actually going out there and reporting, learning what happened and telling about it, then there were to be entirely different perspectives being offered on any number of news stories.
You got Chuck Schumer and all the praise that Chuck Schumer receives as head of the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee.
All the praise that Chuck Schumer received for winning the Senate for the Democrats.
In the end, when this is all said and done, Chuck Schumer will be one of the people primarily responsible for destroying and marginalizing the Democrat Party.
You can't do what he's done to people and have it not come back to haunt you.
Michael Steele and the credit report trying to go public and then uh and ruin his reputation, violation of the law.
It's just a number of things.
And all these things will come around and catch up to these people at some point.
Now, they're feeling their oats right now, and I know it's frustrating to watch this, but these victories, quote unquote, that they are having are temporary and they are fleeting.
Look at what's happening here.
Right now, the Senate is proudly voting for defeat in Iraq.
The House proudly voted for defeat yesterday.
You've got Nancy Pelosi, who's got all kinds of time to go flying around and meeting with Basher Assad and whoever else.
She didn't have time to meet with General Petraeus.
You think people don't notice this?
I am telling you they do.
The Democrat leadership is exposing itself like never before.
I mean, they had this carefully crafted effort to conceal their radicalism during the campaign in the November elections.
They wouldn't tell us anything.
All they did Bush sucks.
Republicans are corrupt.
Culture corruption.
They didn't, they didn't, they didn't dare put their agenda out there.
They didn't dare expose their radicalism during the campaign, but that whole approach has now been abandoned and they are in full attack mode.
And it's plain as day for any and all to see it.
Their tactic of uh abusing their oversight powers by subpoenaing the Secretary of State and other officials to go over.
They're asking Condoleezza Rice, they're subpoenaing her to come up and talk about Niger and Yellow Cake.
This administration has got what?
18 months.
She's not going to respond to the subpoena.
And by the way, look at the trees that we are destroying.
The subpoenas are paper.
And this is the supposed environmental crowd.
As I said yesterday, we need subpoena defense initiative.
But that's all they've got.
They want to rehash all these old events.
They want to embarrass the administration.
It's not going to get them anywhere, folks.
It's not going to get them respect.
It may be boning up the support they get from their radical base, but that's it.
There's less than 20 months left in this administration.
You can tack the administration all you want, but the Democrats have to run against the Republican candidates, not a lame duck administration.
They're not running against Carl Rove.
They're not running against George W. Bush or Alberto Gonzalez or Condoleezer Rice.
And when they do, when they start running against Republicans, they will once again be exposed, as in this case now with Rudy.
We played four sound bites from Rudy Giuliani yesterday, and it has the Democrats up in arms from Howard Dean to their willing accomplices in the drive-by media.
They're now accusing Rudy of politicizing 9-11.
They are, you know, Rudy basically said that these guys don't understand the full scope and breadth and depth of the threat of terrorism.
And well, let's say this is outrageous.
He's criminalizing, he's calling us terrorists.
He's acting as a terrorist, they're out there saying.
I'm going to take a break where we'll play these four sound bites, because what Rudy Giuliani did yesterday was hit them in the nose and put them on defense.
And they are caterwalling, they're like a bunch of stuck pigs in the trough, folks.
And this is not the thing that's been happening to them for the past couple of years and should have been.
They've been allowed to stay on offense as a minority party.
They've gone on offense as a majority party, and nobody's called, and Rudy did, and they can't handle it.
They can destroy or try to destroy any career, any character, any person they want.
And a drive-by is never so it's getting personal now.
But Rudy tells what he thinks is the truth about these people and the threat of terrorism that we will face if they win the next election.
And man, oh man, now it's getting personal, they say, and now Rudy's gone over the edge.
Well, we'll play you these sound bites again, and you tell me what we think what you think.
But the bottom line of all this is Rudy Giuliani put him on defense yesterday, where they need to be.
Back in just a sec.
Rudy Giuliani put the Democrats, he call them on the carpet yesterday, as all Republican candidates should, by the way.
McCain went out there and starts attacking Rudy and the president.
Not the right thing to do.
Go attack the Democrats.
The Democrats are who McCain's going to run against if he gets a nomination.
That's what voters want to hear.
And Rudy did.
He called them on the carpet.
They immediately went on defense.
That's good because these Democrats need to be held politically accountable for their actions and statements.
And let's review what Rudy said.
This was on Tuesday in Manchester, New Hampshire is for the Lincoln Day dinner there.
We got four sound bites.
Here's the first.
This war ends when they stop planning to come here and kill us.
But until then, if I have anything to say about it, the lesson that I learned coming out of September 11, 2001, is never ever again will this country be on defense, waiting for them to attack us.
The United States of America will be on offense.
And make no mistake about it, the Democrats want to put us back on defense.
And he put them on defense, and they are beside themselves all last night.
They were, you know, it's it's it's strange.
Democrats, liberals, and drive-by's go out, they can say anything they want about it.
It can ruin their lives, try to ruin their careers.
You turn around and you tell the truth about their weakness when it comes to natural national defense, they act like some rule has been broken, some rule of civility or some such thing.
The uh just it just illustrates the arrogance and the conceit these people.
They're above criticism.
As far as liberals are concerned, there's no debate.
Nobody has a right to comment on them.
Here's the second Rudy bite.
The Democrats, and I I can make a lot of other points about this, do not understand the full nature and scope of the terrorist war against us.
But I listen a little bit to the Democratic debates, and I and I could be slightly wrong about this, but I think this is almost correct.
If one of them gets elected, it sounds to me like we're going on defense.
We're um we got a timetable for withdrawal of Iraq.
Uh, we're gonna wave the white flag there.
We're going to try to cut back on the Patriot Act.
We're gonna cut back on electronic surveillance, we're gonna cut back on interrogation, we're gonna cut back, cut back, cut back, and we'll be back in our pre-September 11 mentality of being on defense.
Yeah, that really bugged him.
Oh, he says we want to go back to a 9-10 world, and they do.
Um, you know, folks, it's it's one one thing here that is so patently obvious.
Any of the Republican candidates for president, any of them, so far superior to any of the Democrat candidates, that it's not even worth discussing.
I mean, to treat these Democrat candidates as serious.
Hillary Clinton gives me a Barack Obama.
They're not even being looked at as serious candidates, they're just interesting cult figure personalities to the drive-by media.
But in terms of qualifications and recommendations for them to actually be president, where do you get that?
I can't wait for these confrontations.
I can't wait for when this all shakes out.
And uh this campaign actually turns into Republicans telling Democrats in the country who the Democrats are and so forth, instead of all this mishmash here that's acting like something important happening tonight was stupid ass debate.
There's not even a debate.
Democrats out there just engaging in a little press conference run by friendly moderators from the drive-by media on a cable network that nobody watches.
And everybody's going, oh, oh, oh, it's like an orgasm getting ready to go off.
First debate, first debate.
It means nothing.
Here's a third Rudy bite.
The question is going to be, how long does it take?
And how many losses do we have along the way?
And I truly believe if we go back on defense for a period of time, we can ultimately have more losses and it's going to go on much longer.
The power of our ideas is so great we'll eventually prevail.
So the real question is, how do we get there?
Do we get there in a in a way in which it's as expeditious as possible and with as little loss of life as possible, or do we get there in some circuitous fashion?
As you listen to this, does it strike you as overly partisan?
The Democrats are this is breaking.
This is a new law.
Rudy Giuliani's dunk to a new law.
Why this kind of partisanship and politicization of 9-11 is uncalled for.
It's unprecedented.
There's not even that much partisanship here.
I uh not he's just he's just defining the Democrats who they are.
You're not allowed to do that, see.
Partisanship means uh that Democrats are the only voices.
Bipartisanship is when Republicans give up their own voice and adopt Democrat voice.
Last Rudy bite, the PS is long.
They hate us, not because of anything bad we've done.
This hasn't nothing to do with any aggression on the part of the United States of America.
It has nothing to do for anything America is taking from anyone.
It has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine.
They hate us for the freedoms that we have and the freedoms that we want to share with the world.
Because the freedoms that we have and the freedoms that we want to share with the world are in conflict with their perverted interpretation of their religion.
Their maniacal, violent, and perverted interpretation of their religion, in which they train their young people to be suicide bombers, and they train them to hate you and despise you, and they train them to hate your religion and to not allow you to have religion of your own or anyone else.
They hate us for the reasons that are the best about us.
Because we have freedom of religion, because we have freedom for women, because women are allowed to participate in society, because we have elections, because we have a free economy.
Well, we're not giving that up.
And you're not going to come and take it from us.
And Rudy is concerned that we're not going to give it up, but you know, why put ourselves through more BS if we have uh a leadership elected in this country that's going to go totally on defense and start wringing its hands and wondering what we're doing to cause this to happen to us?
What are our responsibilities?
Why did they hate us though?
Doesn't matter.
So he took it to them, put them on defense, they're stuck they're squealing like stuck pigs.
Hillary Clinton, misses Bill Clinton.
Says we're not doing enough to protect our ports and our chemical factories.
Okay, Mrs. Clinton, let's see a proposal.
You know, you guys are in the majority now.
You can do whatever you want.
You just passed a war bill in both the House and the Senate that guarantees defeat where the president to sign it.
You can do what you want.
Republicans can't stop you.
So let's see a proposal.
What are you gonna do to make the ports more secure?
What are you gonna do to protect our chemical factories?
What do you want to do?
You want to you want to inspect every ship, stem to stern, every container opened?
Well, propose it.
You run the Congress.
Will you propose putting metal detectors in every school and shopping center?
Go ahead.
Propose whatever else it is that you say will protect us.
Because it'll underscore that the Democrats have no plan for defeating terrorists.
Every pro I then they they're not even to propose anything, folks, because they're frightened to propose.
They all they can do is rip and criticize.
But if they did propose all this stuff, they're actually talking about our ports are not safe, this isn't safe, Bush is ruined that, Bush has made you more at risk, we're all dangerously at risk, blah, blah, blah.
They're not gonna propose anything because if they did, you would see that not one of their proposals leads to the defeat of terrorists or an enemy that we have.
Their proposals would in would restrict movement and freedom of the American people while they're out there caterwalling about the uh the Patriot Act and so forth.
If they if they put these proposals forward, it would underscore they have no plan for victory.
They just want to build these false barriers around our activities.
And what does it tell us?
It tells us that the Democrats know that we're gonna get hit again.
If they're worried about all this port security and they're worried about chemical plants and so they know we're gonna get hit again.
At least they think.
And what does that tell us?
They don't want to stop it ahead of time.
Not one proposal from any Democrat talks about victory over these people.
Not one proposal talks about anything other than defeat.
Not one proposal contains one shred of offense.
And I'm telling you, folks, the people of this country are going to find this out as this campaign unfolds before our very eyes and ears.
They can't talk about victory.
They own defeat.
They are too tied to it.
must happen for them to win.
Those little baby won't end there tight.
Tate, tight, tight, moving in tight.
Turn it up.
No, I'm not through.
I got a couple more things to say here.
The Democrats do not put forth a proposal for victory.
They don't tell us how they're going to defeat.
They say, well, we're going to protect us.
That means they know they're going to get we're going to get hit again, and they think that they can limit the damage.
That is not offensive, and that is not aggressive.
So they talk about fear-mongering when it comes to terrorism, but they say not enough is being done to harden various sites.
Oh, we got we've got all of these people, the Democrats out there mad at Rudy Giuliani, warning about future attacks, and yet everything the Democrats are saying and do indicates that they damn well know there's going to be another attack.
Listen to their proposals.
And by the way, they can propose anything.
They're not the minority anymore in Congress.
And yet, in most instances, they act like they are other than this war funding business, because they they need the they need us to lose.
They cannot withstand politically a victory by the U.S. military.
And look, Rudy is exactly right.
They want to give the enemy more rights.
They want to litigate the war.
They want this war to be fought in a courtroom and courtroom after courtroom after courtroom.
Civilian courtrooms.
They want to take the military off the battlefield as they've just voted to do in both the House and the Senate yesterday and today.
They want to prepare for the next attack by by doing the equivalent of tucking our heads between our legs, hiding under the desks, and hope and pray that nothing happens.
But if it does, we'll be ready to clean up the carnage, and hopefully it'll be as little as possible because we Democrats have taken steps to limit the carnage.
Now, I've I've said before, I have said this repeatedly to Democrats that drive by media, are invested in defeat.
They own it.
And they must defend defeat.
And they are.
They are listen to them.
And don't think your fellow citizens aren't hearing them.
They are defending the concept of defeat.
Not just promoting it, they are defending it.
And that's why, in the end, I'm telling you, they are destroying themselves.
Whatever evolutions have taken place generationally in this country, we have not reached the point where the U.S. population in mass despises the U.S. military, mocks its members, has no respect for its family members.
We have not reached that point.
The Democrats reached that point long ago.
They have always despised the military.
Except when they run it.
And I'm talking about the post-World War II era.
Folks, search your memory banks.
Find for me, since 2001, find for me one example where any Democrat, elected Democrat has said something good about this country, period.
Not just the military.
Not this, I support the troops business and we don't.
Don't give me that garbage.
That's nothing more than a little cop-out phrase.
Tell me where they've supported the people.
Tell me where they said good things about the potential of average Americans in this country.
You find for me an example where they've said robust great things about the economy.
You tell me where they have talked of a rosy and great future for the people of this country.
You will not find it.
Because their mode of campaigning is to try to get you so depressed and down in the dumps that you need Paxel.
That you need lithium, that you need Ritalin, not just your kids.
That You need all this.
They want you so depressed.
They want you thinking your country's left you behind.
They want you thinking your country has no future.
That's the way they campaign.
Utter tumult, utter chaos.
They're invested in defeat, and they own it, and they are destroying themselves.
But is has the media ever told you how many of the enemy were killing?
Nope.
Why?
Are they are they mourning the deaths of the enemy?
Why do they not tell us?
We get a daily body count of U.S. soldiers and military personnel in Iraq.
Why don't they report their casualties as they do ours?
How many of the enemy were killed today?
How about yesterday?
How about the last six months?
You know why they don't do it?
It's real simple.
It would demonstrate our effectiveness.
We had a body count of the enemy.
And of course, military can't put it out.
And if they did, the media wouldn't believe it.
Drive by that's propaganda.
You can't believe the American military.
You can believe a terrorist military source, you can believe a terrorist PR person.
You can't believe the U.S. military if you are the uh drive-by media.
So you you just tell me when's the last thing they said anything about America that's positive.
And you won't find it.
Mr. Limboy, you saying that we don't love our country, that we don't see positive things.
I'm telling you that I don't hear you say them.
And I have a feeling that most of you libs, if you did start talking about the greatness of the country, you'd be embarrassed.
Because you think that's somehow cheerleading.
And you think that it's not honest.
Because part and parcel of a liberal vision is to look out across the landscape, and you've got to see misery.
Otherwise, there's no reason for you to exist as a liberal.
You have to see misery.
You have to make it up.
You have to see it.
And then you have to blame other people for it.
You have to blame Republicans, you have to blame the 13,000 Dow, you have to blame something.
Housing bubble that's coming up, mortgages that are about to go bluff, whatever it is they're trying to scare you with every day.
You will not find them talking about anything positive about their country.
Are you challenging my patriotism, Myther Limbs?
No, no, no.
But what if I did?
So what?
You just redefine patriotism anyway to say that criticizing America is what patriotism is.
It doesn't matter what people say about you.
Whatever perverse notion of reality you've got, that's what reality is to you.
And then then nothing else exists.
And then you set about trying to silence and fire everybody who says things you don't like.
I am talking to the libs, and they know it.
All right, people have been patiently waiting on the phones.
Wendy, in Fair Oaks, California, suburban Sacramento.
Nice to have you with us.
Thank you very much.
I have I have been really, really angry ever since you talked about the high highest tax receipts ever going to the government in April.
Yes.
And my husband and I are two of the people that helped have record receipts because of AMT.
My husband and I are not wealthy.
We work hard.
We're workers.
And the liberal media shouting that these rich people don't pay taxes is a joke.
I feel so victimized by our government and so powerless.
Um it could make a revolutionary out of me.
And I'm a very mild person.
I can hear the revolutionary intonations in your voice.
I recognize the Fair Oaks accent.
Oh, good.
Yes.
So anyway, I think now this story, Wendy, that's this, you know, you're right.
I mean, the drive-by's try to uh make it sound like the rich aren't paying their fair share, uh, and they're not paying enough because they got too much left over after they pay, it's just not right.
But now this story that's reported U.S. tax receipts from individuals hit a record one-day high of 48.7 billion dollars on April 24th.
And the uh analysis of this from the chief economist at Wrights and ICAP in Jersey City said, well, this reflects the facts that Americans in high income brackets had a very good year in 2006.
And can I object what it means?
Of course, because they're taking more money out of me because of AMT.
They're taking more money.
They take higher uh my capital gains tax is higher because of AMT.
Um, I paid an additional $8,000 because of AMT.
I mean, that's it's not about being a good year.
It's about the government being able to take money from us worker bees.
And the number of people that fall victim to the AMT, the alternative minimum tax, it rises every year.
They know, they that there's no longer a thing called bracket creep in income tax because they now index for inflation, but they don't do that in the AMT.
And that's why more and more people are falling into the trap of being caught.
The alternative million tax minimum tax was created whatever year, some years ago, for a specific reason.
There were twenty-three millionaires that didn't pay any income tax in whatever year it was, and that news caused conniption fits out there, so the alternative minimum tax was devised in order to make sure that somebody, everybody paid something.
It was it was a tax designed to get 23 families, 23 people.
And now it's it's lassoing hundreds of thousands, millions, and soon to be multiple millions, and there's no mad dash to do anything about it because it does generate so much revenue to the Federal Treasury, Treasury.
Uh and by the way, if if you're concerned about this, Wendy, I'll guarantee you one thing.
Not only is the AMT not going to change, but uh the Bush tax cuts are gonna sunset.
The Democrats aren't gonna do anything about that if they get back in power in the uh in the White House.
Elections matter, folks.
We'll be back.
Have uh you people ever heard of a guy named P. T. Barnum?
And uh you know what he said, right?
What did what did what did P. T. Barnum say?
P. T. Barnum of the Barnum and Bailey Circus, PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute.
With that in mind, holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a story you are not going to believe that I'm not making up.
It's from the Herald Sun in Australia.
Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told that they were poodles.
Flocks of sheep were marketed as fashionable accessories, available at sixteen hundred dollars each by a company called poodles as pets.
You know, marketed as fashionable accessories like little African child, every Hollywood uh actor's got to have one.
Madonna, Angelina Jolie.
We're talking about poodles here.
The reason why the Japanese plunked down six, siund dollars each for sheep that they thought were poodles, was because a real poodle costs $3,200 in Japan.
So they thought that they were getting a deal.
Hello, P. T. Barnum.
The scam was uncovered when Japanese movie star Meiko Kawamaki went on a talk show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.
She was crestfallen when she found out it wasn't a poodle, it was a sheep.
Hundreds of other women got in touch with the cops to say that they feared their new poodle was also a sheep.
One couple said they became suspicious when they took their dog to have its claws trimmed and were told that it had hooves.
Police believe there could be 2,000 people affected by this scam.
Okay.
Now figure if you want to poodle, you must know about them.
I mean, you must love them.
The poodles are very popular.
Uh after a while, after after a while, I tell you what, Coke, I want you to do uh want you to do something on the website today.
Get get a sheep, get a baby shape, your little lamb should have sheep up there, and a poodle.
And put them side by side and and see if we can tell the difference.
Phil in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
How are you doing today?
Hey, cool, buddy.
Glad you called.
I am Rush.
I am a Democrat, and I'm also an ex-marine.
I spent two tours in Vietnam.
I'm uh I've been in Marine Corps quite a while, so I've been involved in other places I won't discuss.
But I cannot believe my own party is out there badmouthing our country.
I can see if they're in if they have a trouble with the Republican Party, or the Republican Party has trouble with them.
But I cannot believe they were standing out there in bad mouth our own country.
Well, they doing it, and it you know, they're they you know they had private meetings with General Petraeus yesterday, ignoring everything he said.
It doesn't matter.
And she didn't show up.
Well, she didn't show up.
She said she had a private meeting.
But I mean, those that have had private meetings, even even the public, they're just ignoring him.
He comes back to tell them what's going on with the surge.
They don't want to hear it.
They they they don't want any anything to muddle the thinking that they've got right now.
That they don't want to hear a contrarian view to the action line that they've already set up politically for themselves.
And it's you know, it's it well, you know, it's tough for you to hear I gotta I'll be honest with you.
It is tough for me as an American to say that there's a political party in the country, a serious political party that owns defeat, that they are invested here in defeat, and they don't have one proposal for victory, even in dealing with the war on terror, when they stop talking about the Iraq branch of it.
They have no proposal for victory, and they're the the the thing that they're doing with the the demotivation uh of the of the American military is just beyond the pale.
What I don't believe is my own party doing it.
My own party.
I mean, I could see them having a problem with George Bush and arguing.
I mean, I do on a lot of uh aspects, but don't.
If you want to argue, argue in country, keep it in house, not outside in Iran or other.
Now, Phil Phil, with all due respect, this isn't new.
Um what what what all of a sudden has broken the barrier for you that you see it for what it is.
When she went over when she went overseas and started bad mounting our country over there.
And the military.
She really badmouth the military, but she did badmouth the United States of America.
You know, this is a place where we all eat, we all sleep, we all drink, we've raised our kids.
But it's it's not anything she has to argument with, she could keep it in-house.
Well, I agree.
But uh the phrase is politics ends at the water's edge.
That stopped actually in this well, it never existed in this war.
Um Vietnam, it stopped and so forth.
But I know.
Well, look, I appreciate your call.
We feel your pain.
Uh and see a lot of you, well, this is okay, but how come it took us don't ask that question?
That's what I'm telling you.
People are waking up out there, folks.
Just trust me on this.
You can't do what the Democrats are doing and have it continually swept under the rug and not notice.
Frank in New York City, glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Good afternoon, sir.
Uh I'm a former uh military.
I was in Vietnam.
I was the 100 first dayborne, and then I'm a former New York City detective.
Uh my family was lifelong Democrats.
And my father passed away last year, and he says, never ever vote for a Democrat again.
And I see what he means for what they're doing for us.
I know Hillary in New York City has done absolutely nothing for New York City.
She's building a big house in the Dominican Republic, her and built they're building a mansion in Punta Cana, and uh no one says anything.
The media doesn't say anything about that.
She's out there raising all kinds of money, but yet she has this mansion going next to Oscar de Lorenta.
Well, I I didn't know that.
I know they stay at Oscar de Lorenta's place, and they know they're building their own down there.
Oh, yes.
This is m massive.
It's a big mansion right next to Oscar DiLorenza.
I wonder who's paying for it.
Uh, I don't know, but I know uh I was down there just recently on vacation, and everyone was talking about it, and I wrote rode over there and I saw it.
It's and even the contract itself, yeah.
How many square feet would you say it is?
Is it compared to John Edwards' place down there in North Carolina?
Uh oh, definitely.
It's it's big, it's right on the beach.
Yeah.
And uh they're not a big thing.
Nothing wrong with living on a beach.
Pardon me?
Nothing wrong with living on the beach.
I live on the beach.
Nothing wrong with that.
I know you'd, sir.
You do that, but uh, but everyone talks about it, and I see it, but the media doesn't say anything about this.
Of course not, because the far as the media are concerned, the Clintons are entitled to this.
They worked so hard in public service for little.
They earned nothing.
They gave up most of their lives for the American people.
Do we begrudge them the enjoyment of life in their sunset years?
Almost turned on that microphone again.
That would have been written up if I did that.
We still got an hour of exciting broadcast excellence coming up.
