The views expressed by the host on this program, not necessarily the views of the staff management nor sponsors of this station.
And in some cases, the views expressed by the host on this show are not.
Not not necessarily.
They just purely and simply are not the views of the management staff or sponsors of that station.
But they ought to be.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Fastest three hours.
Fastest three hours in media.
Fastest week in media, Rush Lindbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Open line Friday.
We go to phones, and the show is yours.
Talk about whatever you wish to talk about.
I don't have to care about, frankly.
On Open Line Friday, it can bore me.
I'll do my best not to act bored because I'm a nice guy.
By the way, just a reminder, the views expressed by the host on this show, not necessarily those of the staff management nor sponsors of this station.
But they ought to be.
800-282-2882.
Would you kill the music?
I feel like I'm going to shout over it.
Thank you.
All right.
In Philadelphia, they've shut down 16 psychics.
16 fortune tellers.
Alerted to a forgotten state ban, Philadelphia authorities have closed at least 16 storefront fortune tellers.
One of the fortune tellers has alleged discrimination.
What we do is entertainment, said the owner of his fortune telling business on Walnut Street.
Shouldn't they be cracking down on rapes and murders and not palm readers?
City official, however, said that most psychics were con artists who prey on vulnerable people.
And the Philadelphia fortune tellers they didn't see it coming.
They didn't see it coming.
Sorry, that might be racist as some places.
Don't know.
If it is, I apologize.
A group of local politicians in northern Sweden have lodged a complaint to the Swedish consumer agency after viewing an advertisement that promotes shopping.
The three-member consumer delegation discussed the advertisement for clothing as a clothing chain cop at a meeting on March the 23rd.
The three people took exception to the ad on the basis that it fosters the development of retail therapy.
It is an ad where a young girl is really depressed because her boyfriend's just broken up with her.
Goldie Hawn, who is an actress, encourages the young girl to indulge in some comfort shopping.
We think that because there are so many people with shopping problems, it's not a good idea to encourage people to practice comfort shopping, said Michael Melander, one of the three on the committee.
He was then asked whether the group stance was not simply critical of advertising in general.
After all, is not the point of marketing to get people to shop.
Well, maybe it is.
I'll have to think about that.
So obvious in this particular ad, I didn't I didn't take this matter up myself.
It came, it came in as one of our cases.
According to uh Dina Pinger, all three members of the delegation took exception to the message of the spot and supported the decision to report it to the Swedish consumer agency.
So a bunch of politicians in Sweden came down on Goldie Hawn.
Comfort shopping.
You think things are screwed up here.
The Washington State Supreme Court, big big news here, said in an opinion released yesterday morning that a couple of uh talk show hosts of station KVI in Seattle did not need, and one of these guys, uh this is John Carlson and Kirby Woolburn.
I know both these guys, Carlson's a great guy, uh the the they were they were sued.
They were told that uh the their their show was an in-kind advertisement for politicians and issues that they supported.
And the state Supreme Court, in an opinion, said that uh the two guys did not need to report their advocacy for an anti-gas tax campaign as an in-kind political contribution.
The court has reinstated a counter suit filed by the no new gas tax campaign against local governments that initially sued.
And this opinion was unanimous.
The majority opinion was written by Justice Barbara Madsen, signed by Chief Jerry Alexander, and Justices Tom Chambers, Charles Johnson, Susan Owens, Mary Fairhurst, and Bobby Bridge.
Justices Jim Johnson wrote a concurrence, which Justice Richard Sanders also signed.
So they all said that the case showed a disregard for core freedoms of speech and association.
This is huge.
This is a it's a huge ruling, and it is very, very important.
Because the Washington Supreme Court has held that radio talk shows do not constitute in-kind political donations.
And it it happily the First Amendment still holds, ladies and gentlemen, even in the era of McCain Feingold.
Yeah, we're just like the New York Times.
We're just like any other media publication or broadcast.
And this was an effort to go after talk radio specifically by a bunch of liberals up there in the Great Northwest.
And it's just one of many efforts that have been and are planned, because talk radio, I'll tell you the thing about talk radio that that people are missing it, it is the last remaining place for the free and open discussion of all ideas.
But it happens to be the place where conservative ideas triumph, and the left does not like that, and they do not want it to triumph, obviously.
And so there are many plans such as this to try to shut down talk radio, and you know them all.
I mean, you you know all that.
That's why this um this is such a great and tremendous ruling.
Congratulations to both Kirby Wilbur and John Carlson.
They really are good guys.
You know, they're just hardworking people, and they're they're um on most days they're great Americans.
They have their moments.
Uh just kidding, John.
Yes, let me tip a John Carlson.
Let me let me tell you a little John Carlson story.
After the Oklahoma City bombing, and which after the Clinton administration tried to blame me and others, talk radio, because we were being critical of government for inspiring McVeigh and Nichols in that gang.
Uh we raised a stink about it, and of course, McCurry went out there, the press spokesman for the White House of the Times said, No, no, no, no, no, no, we wouldn't mean Limbaugh, but the Michigan militia shortwave radio, whatever, he said.
And they had a cover on Time Magazine of a f of an Oklahoma City firefighter holding a mangled and I think the baby had died or was would soon die.
And John Carlson, when all this was going on on a blaming talk radio, got that fireman on the air.
And the fireman let it be known that in his firehouse, it was this program they listened to.
The rescuers, the first responders, were listening to this program.
Uh, not the McVay's, and not these other people.
And and uh, and and it was John Carlson that uh extracted that from the firefighter, and that ended up uh making making national news.
And he's run for governor out there, and he's he's himself has been a target as this case uh so uh aptly demonstrated.
So congratulations to them because once again a service to the entire business of uh radio has been rendered, and it's it's meaningful uh beyond just the the ruling because when you when you start talking about the judiciary in the Great Northwest, uh, which is made up obviously of a number of liberal elected and appointed judges, you never know uh with the state of the judiciary, and this was unanimous, even in the era of McCain Feingold.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
What's more straight ahead.
And we're back serving humanity, Rush Limboy, with half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
I just got a note from Dean up at the website.
He said, Rush, you know there's one other thing I think I remember about this Oklahoma City uh uh fireman story involving John Carlson out in uh in Seattle.
After the, and this is true, I remember this now, after the White House had gone out of its way to indict talk radio for the, and of course, back then talk radio was me.
Uh uh For the explosion in the uh at the at the Mura building uh in Oklahoma City.
There was a cartoon that ran somewhere.
Somebody, some cartoonist, editorial cartoonists, had done his caricature of the Time magazine cover of the firefighter holding the baby that had been killed in the blast.
And there was a thought bubble coming out of the firefighter's head in this cartoon, said damn right wing talk radio.
So the media picked up on you remember this now?
I'll I'll never I've uh this aspect of it I had forgotten.
But I remember that editorial cartoon now because it redrew that Time magazine cover and it did firefighter holding a baby, damn talk radio is what the firefighter is supposedly thinking.
And that's because the White House had put the the thought out there.
And that's when Carlson got the firefighter on the phone.
Uh and it turned out that that far from blaming me, the firefighter uh was a big fan, as as were all the rescuers that that worked in his firehouse.
That's that's what it was.
Here's Vince in Norfolk, Virginia.
Uh, Vince, glad you waited.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Thanks a lot, Rush Megados from Norfolk, glad to be talking to you.
Thank you.
Uh my wife made a neat observation today, and I really hadn't thought about it.
Uh, we've listened to the news a lot and and uh had Hillary on this morning as usual.
And you know, every time she's talking about the election, it's when I'm president and the day after I'm sworn in.
It's it's pretty much arrogance.
It's not about presenting her ideas to the American people and saying, you know, these are my ideas, vote for me.
But it's like I I deserve to be the president because I am who I am.
Yeah, there's a sense of entitlement.
Uh she's trying to avoid that that be the primary reason people vote for her.
Um that's also, I think uh there that that's you can chalk it up to arrogance, but that's that's a tactic as well.
It's to distance herself from all these other pretenders and wannabes up there.
Um I uh your interpretation's correct, but it's also it it's it's Hillary trying to sound confident.
Right.
And well, confidence is one thing, but you know, they've they're always hitting on President Bush about being arrogant and being arrogant.
And and certainly confidence, you know, you're confident, because you know you you're doing what your job, but this is the person that's gonna that wants to be the president of the United States.
So it should be about presenting her ideas and what she can do.
See, you there are two different standards.
A liberal cannot be arrogant.
A liberal is love.
True.
A liberal is compassion and understanding and tolerance and all of that.
Conservatives are racist, sexists, bigot homophobes, braggadocious, arrogant, uh uh conceited, you know, all these things.
Stupid.
Uh uh in case they talk about Bush uh in that way.
So, you know, your observation is exactly right.
Since you brought up Hillary, though, I've I've I've got just just cleared the wires, ladies and gentlemen.
Democratic presidential hopeful, Mrs. Bill Clinton said today that she sees her sometimes Southern accent as a virtue.
During a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, South Carolina, Mrs. Clinton said, I think America is ready for a multilingual president.
It's right here.
This is the AP.
I am holding the story right in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
So let's let's go back.
Let's listen to Mrs. Clinton, uh, her Southern accent as a virtue, and it is also multilingual.
Let's listen to her definition of multilingualism.
Let us say with one voice.
The words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn.
I don't feel no ways tired.
I come too far from where I started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
After she said that she thought America's ready for a multilingual president, she said she's been thinking about critics who've suggested she tried to put on a fake Southern accent in Selma, what you just heard.
And uh she noted that she's split her life between Arkansas, Illinois, and the East Coast.
She added a Southern lilt to her voice last week when addressing civil rights group in New York City.
It was uh Reverend Sharpness Bunch.
On Monday, dealing with a microphone glitch at a fundraiser of young donors, she quoted former slave and underground railroad leader, Harriet Tubman.
The two episodes prompted some ribbing in the media and hatched more than a few humorous YouTube video clips.
Uh Clinton is a linguistic polyglot.
A Chicago Native turned New York resident who works in Washington, spent twenty years living in the Arkansas swamps when her husband was the governor down there.
But observers have long noted her tendency to speak Southern primarily in front of black audits.
What do you mean observers have long noted?
Long noted her tendency to speak Southern primarily in front of black audiences as she did with Sharpton last week and at the Selma March commemoration.
Multilingualism.
This is this is well it's it's what do you what do you mean it's beyond insulting?
Now, Mr. Snurgley, who uh is the official program observer uh who is black, you think this is racist?
Beyond racist?
Why to call what is she because she's saying that that that that uh uh this this twang or this dialect that she adopts, it's another language.
Well, what wait, well, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
Wait a sec, wait a second.
You forgot Ibonics.
Have you forgotten Jive?
I mean, Ibonics was taught and so forth and so on.
Mrs. Clinton's on a cutting edge here, Mr. Snodley.
You have lost, you have lost we were not allowed to talk about ibonics.
We talked about ibonics, it was racism.
Mrs. Clinton is a liberal and as such, if she wants to say that a a a Southern dialect that she thinks is what black people sound like is another language, well then it is.
We we we can't criticize Mrs. Clinton for this.
We we we can call attention to the fact that she said it, let people come to their own conclusions, but uh Yeah, I do I know when Perole went up there to the NAA LCP, and he's talking to him and he said, and look at you people.
Oh Hill broke loose while he's he's on the airplane back to Dallas when all hell breaks loose all over.
There's a Saturday afternoon.
I remember it.
And I I I looked at the tape of Perot saying that, and and uh he didn't mean it the way they interpreted it.
But but still, so uh I know she has said that well here, play the bite.
Look, this the best way to do this is let her say the words.
Play the bite again on IQ, and just think this Mrs. Clinton says this is another language.
Let us say with one voice.
The words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn.
I don't feel no ways tired.
I come too far from where I started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
Okay.
So here we have it.
I know.
This I if I went before black civil rights crowd, that's exactly my point.
If I went before a black civil rights crowd and tried to reach out and bond with them by trying to sound like them, that'd be the end of me.
And and Mrs. Clinton, but but Mrs. See, in her heart, she cannot be racist.
She's a liberal.
Uh she's a Democrat.
They it's impossible for them to be racist.
So she can do all this, and in fact, the story is not that she did it, is that now she say, hey.
I mean, this this is a virtue.
This Southern twang of mine is a virtue.
America's ready for a multilingual president.
So she's taking the issue head on.
This is why this woman, as we sit here today, is 80% uh there's an 80% chance she's gonna be elected the next president.
And um you might you might say, look at Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Mrs. Bill Clinton is the magic Caucasian.
She just is.
The views expressed by the host on this show are not necessarily those of the staff management nor sponsors of this station.
You know, there's a new uh way that the students are cheating out there at Duke University.
Uh uh and well, actually, is it at Duke?
No.
Something else happened at Duke.
They're using iPods to cheat.
They used to wear baseball caps in there and put the answers in the headbands and so forth, using iPods to cheat.
Uh uh and uh the the schools are trying to keep up with all this.
And I just want to tell school you're not gonna stop kids from cheating, no matter what you do.
You're not just like remember back in the condom days, the same school people were so we can't stop kids from having sex.
They're gonna do it.
That's why I want to give them condoms and a pack of cigarettes for the morning table.
Hey, Mike, you got a you got you got audio sound by number 21 ready to go because we got another example of Mrs. Bill Clinton's multilingualism.
This is um this is last Friday at the National Action Network of Al Sharpton.
Uh uh, we played this earlier, but but here's another example.
The abuses that have gone on in the last six years, I don't think we know the half of it yet.
You know, when I walk into the Oval Office in January 2009, I'm afraid I'm gonna lift up the rug and I'm gonna see so much stuff under there.
You know, what is it about us always having to clean up after people?
What is this us?
So that's that's that's Mrs. Bill Clinton's multilingualism.
Uh but here's the thing.
This is this is uh this is not really unexpected, ladies and gentlemen.
Of course she'll be the first multilingual president, and her husband was the first conilingual president.
I mean, he was very cunning guy.
And uh she's just you know, they they work in tandem, they work in uh in pairs.
There's the funniest thing happened.
It's not funny, but the way it's been covered is funny on Fox.
There's a there's a car chase, a couple bank robbers in East LA are being chased.
They've been chased for a long time.
Cops, not high speed.
It's the the guy's in some broken down rattle trap car with two flat tires.
And the Fox Fox News Channel headline graphics, one of them said, suspect is heavily tattooed.
And the other headline said, suspect driving with two flats is making gang gestures out the window.

Paul in Santa Barbara, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Hey.
I tried to get through last Friday to uh make my annual contribution to uh your leukemia fund of a dollar for each of the stations.
It was 497.
I rounded it up to 500.
And I would like to challenge uh others out there that are listening on multiple stations to uh throw in a dollar for each station.
Well, it's a change it's a shame you you missed it by week.
This is the guy who is traveling the country.
He's visiting every city where there is an EIB affiliate.
That's right.
Sometimes in Mexico even.
You don't have any.
That's right.
Well, I know.
We got some pirate stations in Mexico.
The last time I talked to you last uh fall was I was in Mexico, and uh I'm not to tell you that it took me twenty-eight hours to get back across the border.
From from I got there Friday morning at ten, and it was Saturday afternoon at two before I got across the border because well the documents weren't right.
And when I got the documents, it was just one page.
And on one side of that page was my company name, Hapler America and the address, my name, and my home address and the description of the vehicle, uh Hapla mobile design.
That was it.
Two copies.
You haven't learned anything.
You did this the entirely wrong way.
You try to come in a legal way.
Yeah, I know.
I should say in the 28 hours that I was there, they tell me that there's about ten per hour illegals crossed at that same area.
No, that's where one of them could have been you.
Two hundred and eighty, two hundred and eighty illegals got in while one fifth generation American is is uh trying to get back home.
You know.
Well, are you enjoying funny story?
Are you enjoying Santa Barbara?
I Santa Barbara's beautiful.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Where are you going next?
I'm going to um I'm going to uh Pendleton, Oregon, and Yakima, Washington.
Oh, Yacoma, Washington.
You know, when you get to Yakima, let me tell you about Yakima, Washington.
And this is a true story.
Yakima, Washington was the first city in America with fifty gallon trash cans that people could put outside in front of their house for the uh garbage guys to come pick up.
Is that right?
Yakima, Washington.
Well, yeah, the big things that you need to, you know, put on wheels and roll out.
They were the first ones to do that.
Well, I'll be clearing there on trash day, I'll be sure and deposit deposited.
Well, I'm very proud of it up there.
Everybody's got to be known for something.
And uh and everybody has to be somewhere, and you're gonna be there, so you uh you tell them we all said hi.
Paul, this is great.
He's actually traveling, he's got he's a 497, he's got uh he's got about a hundred and nine to go, something like that.
How much Paul, how much time are you giving yourself to get this this project done?
Well, I'm gonna keep this job traveling around the country in this uh mobile design center for another six or seven years, and hopefully in that time I can get all those stations.
It's getting harder and harder to get them because you know there's an uh I've been to all the all the popular ones and uh all the you know.
Now no, no, no, no.
Don't go there.
What here see what he's saying is he's got a business.
He's in a mobile demo van, and he's he's I've been to the big cities.
That's what he's saying.
Now and you know, you know, they're all important, Paul, and they all have Americans in them, and they all they all have customers.
Uh uh Yeah, you you might not have any business on the desk of Texas.
I mean, there may be places you don't have business, who knows?
But but uh you're you're you're it's a great thing that you're doing.
Thanks so much for your donation, by the way, to Leukemia and Lymphoma.
Um, we we um we appreciate that as we do everybody.
It's great to hear from you again, too.
Maria in Rexford, Idaho.
Nice to have you.
By the way I'm I'm wondering, um, in the next Miss America pageant, will will we be allowed to have a Miss Idaho?
I I hope so.
She would be a great representative for the case.
Well, but if it's the name of the state, I mean if you Miss I the hoe of the uh No, you say Idaho.
Well, I know but it doesn't matter.
But the views expressed by the host on the show, not necessarily those of the staff management or sponsors of the state.
How how are you doing, uh Marie?
I'm doing well, thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, my question is the day after Columbine, you had uh Chris Matthews on as your guest host, and I've always wondered how that deal went down.
Well, you know, back then what was that, 1999, uh when Colin Bine happened uh Chris Matthews was uh was was he and I were speaking terms.
I was I guess on his show now and then, and he was um uh a good broadcaster.
And we thought it would be interesting to try out.
He he was he was not uh you know, the 2000 election changed a lot of people and particularly the media, and and they've chosen upsides, and there was uh there's clearly a line of demarcation in the media now.
Back then that hadn't happened.
And Chris, one of the reasons I was intrigued because he was saying a lot of things, not regularly, but enough to make me think that he was not just uh the hardline uh liberal, that he had some uh libertarian or conservative thoughts.
Uh and so we brought him in.
We're always looking for new voices here as guest hosts.
Do you still talk to him?
I I haven't I haven't spoken to him in a long time.
Uh I've had a couple emails back and forth.
Because he's just crazy.
I I can't even stand up.
Well, he's very he's very honored because he won our poll on which MSNBC Post should resign.
Uh uh and make way for an African American host.
Well, they're good liberals over there, and they're upset that there's uh you know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who are right about this.
Uh MSNBC is all white all night.
And these are good liberals over there, and and uh they're telling everybody else what they ought to do to end racial discrimination and promote harmony, but he can't find any African American or minority hosts there.
So we ran a poll here on my website, and Matthews won it 49 to 47 over Olbermann and uh uh uh Tucker Carlson got four percent.
And Matthew's a little upset.
He wanted a recount because there was no paper trail on this.
He didn't believe Tucker Carlson got four percent.
He wanted more than 49.
He wanted over fifty.
Well, there's always a spoiler in every race.
I just made up that last story as a little joke here.
He we did not hear from him after the uh after after the vote.
But I've always when I've been when I've been with Chris, uh I've enjoyed in fact uh the first time I met Chris Matthews was at the White House Correspondence Dinner, and it was the first such time I had been to the White House Correspondence Center.
And this was the night where Bill Clinton told a joke implying that I'm a racist.
And at the end of the dinner, we're all, you know, we're we're m m uh lingering around on our way out, and Matthews comes up in in typical Matthews.
Sh I you can't you can't let away with it.
If I Rush Limbaugh, if you're the Russian ball, then I know you're the Russell and Boy.
You don't let the president of the United States call you a racist.
You can't put up with that.
That is intolerable.
That's unacceptable.
Wouldn't stop.
Uh Spittle was flying all over the place.
Uh and that's that's the first time I met him.
And you still had him on as your guest host.
Well, yeah.
You know, I love Open Line Friday.
Are you still doing a slow burn about that?
Are you upset that he was I mean that that's 1999?
No, I'm not upset.
I just I it I just find it interesting that he would be a choice.
I thought it was a good show, and it was a good time for him to be on.
It was the day after Columbine.
I thought it was a really good show, and it's just always stuck with me.
I uh look, I have to be honest with you about this, Maria.
Finding guest host is tough.
There is not another me out there.
This is true, and it's certainly not Chris Matthews.
Hey, one more thing, Rush.
Yes.
I'm not the hoe from Idaho, okay.
Uh uh The Views Express.
Did we catch it?
Did we catch it?
You can't you're gonna get me in trouble.
That that certainly that was not the view of the host.
No.
That was the caller from Idaho.
Okay.
Maria, thank you so much.
I appreciate I really appreciate the help.
Uh quick timeout.
We'll be back after this.
Here we have this story earlier.
Uh ancient volcanoes may have caused a dramatic warming of the Earth's atmosphere.
As if 55 million years ago we're talking about that raised sea temperatures, killed off many marine species, resulting in a planetary emergency.
Of course, emergency to who?
55 million years ago.
The discovery shows the impact of the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere may shed light on planetary changes wrought by more recent causes.
The whole point here of this story country, you you might hear this and think, well, see, Russia news is coming around.
Volcanoes more powerful than anything we've ever No, no, no, no, no, no, no, folks.
That's not the point.
They're saying a volcano 55 million years ago eruption put a bunch of carbon up there.
And we're doing it now ourselves without the volcano.
We don't need, we can destroy the planet ourselves.
They're trying to say an old bunch of carbon up there can bring about the death of species and create a planetary emergency.
There's a companion story here.
This is from the Vatican City.
God wants believers to be green.
That's the message of Murphy emerging from a Vatican conference on climate change, which was the latest sign of growing concern by religious groups around the world over the fate of the planet.
See, I'm telling you, you combine Book of Revelation and uh thought of the end days, last day's end times, with the global warming's promise of that you've got a natural way to mix and make religious people turn into these environmentalist wackos.
Scientists, environment ministers, leaders of various religions from twenty countries sat down for two days to discuss the implications of global warming and development.
The conference was organized, excuse me, there, by the uh Vatican's Council for Justice and Peace.
It marked the most significant plunge to date by the Roman Catholic Church into one of the hottest contemporary topics.
Elias Abramitis, a Greek Orthodox minister of the World Council of Churches, told the gathering that climate change was a deeply spiritual issue rooted in the scriptures.
All right, my question then, if that's true, can it stop volcanoes?
Will religion stop volcanoes?
Because I don't Mount Penetubo put more junk up there in the air when it blew some years ago than all of the automobile exhaust since the invention of the automobile.
Here's uh Laura in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Laura, great to have you on the EIB network.
Oh, mega optimistic dittoes to you, Rush.
Thank you.
Thank You for all your wonderful work and especially supporting our troops all over the world, especially in Iraq.
Thank you so much.
My comment is I I've been listening to the candidates, and I think you're being a little bit hard on uh Mr. Barack Obama right now.
As I I see it, he is uh modeling, especially to um the black population, what uh traditional marriage looks like.
And he called on um uh people in the church on the Reverend Martin Luther King holiday, he called on blacks to to uh have fathers in the lives of their children.
That is huge because that's almost uh him advocating conservative principles.
And if you look at all of the social ills, marriage, if if they brought that back into their community, things like poverty, things like STDs, uh crime from children growing up without fathers, all of that might be greatly reduced.
So I think we need to have a little bit of hope for Mr. Obama to, you know, be come around to the conservative values which you espouse, and I think he might get it one day.
So I just wanted you to consider that as you talk about, you know, the candidates.
Okay.
Uh let me uh say something here.
Uh first place, I was I was uh simply analyzing uh Senator Obama's answer to the question about what he would do as president if we got hit during that debate.
Right.
Two big cities.
And his answer was sorely inadequate.
Number two.
Back when I hosted my television show, we had video tape constantly from Jesse Jackson saying the same thing.
He would go to schools, he would go to meetings, and he would tell these young black men stay home, be responsible, raise your kids.
The million man march of uh of Minister Farrakhan was about the same thing.
Uh but Jesse Jackson only says it to very small groups, it's not part of his national agenda.
A lot of people have been saying this.
Uh you can find Dr. Sowell, who I've quoted, and we're gonna be interviewing him in the next issue of the Limbaugh letter, by the way.
He's got a great new couple of great new books out, by the way.
But but point is that that uh Barack's not the first to say this.
Now you may you might think, well, he is gonna have more impact because of his stature as a candidate.
Yes.
Yes, that's what I'm thinking.
I think he can convince a lot of people if he becomes aware that that conservative value is very while.
It may be.
It'd be great if that happened.
I have to tell you, it'd be great if that happened.
But there I read to you today the fourth story in the drive-by media, this from the UK Times about how he's not authentic enough because he doesn't have credibility with the civil rights uh blacks, the the African Americans have roots, slavery down for the struggle and all that.
And the reason this is an echo of that piece in the LA Times that called him Barack the Magic Negro, is because blacks distrust him because he's got so much white support.
Well, you know, what he can say is what's good for whites is good for blacks, and that we need to come together and see what the c uh root cause of all these issues are.
He wants to end poverty, and then come forward with the plan of implementing those good conservative values.
Right.
But he's not a conservative.
Now, please look at his voting record.
He is not a conservative.
I'm hoping you will convert him, is what I'm saying.
You're hoping I?
Yes, will convert.
You and others that have the facts, the evidence uh on what the social ills are about and how we can come to a point.
But you must I I I I would love nothing more for than for what you suggest and hope for to actually happen.
But the problem is liberalism doesn't want it fixed.
Liberalism needs to be the daddy.
Liberalism needs to be the go-to source for people in distress.
Liberalism, look at its liberal programs that created all the circumstances that you have described.
Folks, I've sorry I forgot to mention this during the program.
I will not be here Monday.
I have a charity commitment that I have to do Monday.
I'll be back on Tuesday.
Everything's cool.
The views expressed by the host on this program today were not the viewers of the uh necessarily the viewers of the staff, management sponsors, news directors, afternoon hosts, whatever, of this station.
See you Tuesday.
Have a great weekend.
