Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And welcome to the EIB Network, to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Roger Hedgecock here on the Left Coast, coming at you from KOGO Cogo Radio in San Diego.
San Diego had a tough weekend last weekend.
Both the Dodgers and the Democrats were in town.
And we'll leave the Dodgers to the sports shows, but the Democrats, well, it was the first time that the California Democratic Party had had a major convention here.
They had previously not come to San Diego because there weren't enough union-controlled hotel rooms.
Can you imagine if the Republican Party said we're not going to convention anywhere unless there's enough evangelical-owned hotel rooms?
But obviously the press just assumes now that the Democrats only go to union-controlled hotel rooms.
And there's no even breath of conflict or pandering to their base or any of that other stuff.
So anyway, they came to San Diego, found three hotels located within 96 miles of the convention center that they could assemble.
And they did.
In fact, we had some very interesting conversations with the Democrats who came to San Diego in this California Democratic convention, where, by the way, since our primary here in California has been moved up dramatically, I guess till February, February 5th or something next year.
Now, instead of just coming here to take money out of Hollywood and West LA, the Democrats were here to actually speak to people.
So, but first, we ran into last week, ran into some interesting, I've saved some of this for this show.
Some of the delegates here, for instance, well, I asked the question, what's your agenda?
What do you want to accomplish here?
What are the things that are going to move America forward that you're in favor of here in San Diego in this important convention?
Here's what delegate Dave answered.
Indictment, impeachment, trial, and imprisonment of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Colental, and Wright.
I was waiting for the bring us all together.
Can't we all just get along?
Diversity is our strength.
I was waiting for something other than just another rant by the lead singer from Rage Against the Machine.
If you saw that down the Coachello Festival, what was the phrase?
Try, burn, and hang, something like that, George Bush.
So this is the tone now.
It is beyond angry, ladies and gentlemen.
And I want to explore this today.
The tone of the Democratic Party is now basically, well, gone from angry to fury.
But other things happened.
I want to get to that in a minute.
Other things happened that were interesting in this convention.
As I say, all the presidential hopefuls, the Democratic side, were there.
And Hillary Clinton, for instance, we didn't know.
It was a lot of mystery, a lot of tension, a lot of suspense here in San Diego about which Hillary would show up.
Would it be this Hillary?
Would it be our Southern Fried Hillary?
I don't feel no ways tired.
I come too far from where I started.
Okay, stop.
Would it be that Hillary or, you know, which one exactly?
Well, funny enough, here's what, and I thought this was a parody.
I actually thought this was a parody.
We had to verify this was Senator Mrs. Bill Clinton speaking.
When I was growing up, the neighborhoods I lived in were surrounded by farm fields.
And every harvest season, we had a lot of the migrants who'd come up from Mexico through Texas following the harvest all the way up through Illinois and Michigan.
And the children would go to school with us.
And every Saturday morning, my church group, we'd go out and babysit the younger children so that the older children could join their families in the fields.
What?
What did she just say?
50 years ago, now I'm not in Illinois, so you folks who are in Michigan and so forth, I'd love to hear from you.
50 years ago, were there illegal Mexican migrants coming into your community, working in the fields?
I mean, I'm sure there was more farmland in those days.
I mean, that part I understand.
What kind of farmland are we talking about?
I mean, I thought it was like wheat and corn, and what do I know?
I'm in California.
We have out here strawberries, pears, peaches, avocados, what have you that need intensive labor.
I thought you guys mechanized your deal a long time ago, which of course we would have done too, except for the cheap illegals.
But this thing about Illinois 50 years ago, and she's babysitting the younger children.
Now we've got a claim that Hillary Rodham, in her early years, before her affiliation with Youth for Goldwater, was babysitting illegal kids.
Now, you know, this is the earliest example of exploitation of the illegals I've yet to find.
If true, babysitting the illegals' kids, taking money out of their paychecks that they would otherwise have sent to Mexico to prop up that corrupt government, that they would, Hillary found a way, much like she did of turning 1,000 into 100,000, you know, she found a way to tap into the illegals.
Again, for our folks in the Midwest, if this is true, I'd love to hear about it.
It strikes me as being the most fantasized, made-up bunch of BS that I've ever heard.
Let's hear this tape again.
I want to hear from you.
Again, the phone number, of course, is 800-282-2882 here on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Here is Hillary in San Diego last week.
Play it.
When I was growing up, the neighborhoods I lived in were surrounded by farm fields.
And every harvest season, we had a lot of the migrants who'd come up from Mexico through Texas following the harvest all the way up through Illinois and Michigan.
And the children would go to school with us.
And every Saturday morning, my church group, we'd go out and babysit the younger children so that the older children could join their families in the fields.
In other words, so much of this is so insane.
She babysitted the young kids so the older kids could violate the child labor laws by going into the fields.
And what is this about following the harvest?
I mean, I'm no farmer, but don't the harvests start in the north and go south rather than in the south and go north?
I mean, the way the weather works, you know, or used to before your SUV got cranked up, it used to be that, you know, your shorter growing periods were in the north.
What do I know?
1-800-282-2882.
I'm sure Hillary is entirely correct.
Interestingly enough, as well, there were a lot of caucuses.
And the typical thing, if you don't know this about the Democratic Party, is they are made up of a lot of little segmentized groups.
It is a groupthink party.
And you're in your group.
You're defined as the LGBT.
That's not a sandwich.
Let me just tell you.
Well, it could be a sandwich.
Anyway, you're defined as a Latino, the black caucus, and so forth and so on.
And all of these, the environmental caucus, they all met in their separate little segregated pigeonholed, I'm a slash/slash slash kind of American.
I am a Latino LBGT no sandwich America.
So this is the way the Democrats organize themselves.
The first motion made in the Children's Caucus was to have refreshments at the next meeting.
The second motion to have soft drinks with those refreshments.
The environmental caucus turned off the lights for one minute to save energy.
This actually happened now in San Diego last weekend.
The Environmental Caucus met.
They turned off the lights in the room for a minute to save energy.
And then, of course, it took a minute more or more to finish the business they actually had to do once they turned the lights on.
But it made them feel so much better.
Then there was the progressives, the LGBT, and then the senior caucus, which seemed to be talking a lot louder than the other caucuses.
I'm not sure exactly why.
The progressives, the reporters would not go to the progressives caucus.
There was a, and even, you know, and you know how this goes, 90% of the reporters are Democrats.
Even the reporters would not go to the Progressive Caucus for the aromatic issues in the room.
Apparently, there wasn't sufficient ventilation for the I bathe once a month and use one square of toilet paper each time kind of person in the progressive caucus.
The business and professional caucus did meet.
There was a professional-looking easel there, a giant pad.
There were no people at the business and professional caucus.
Apparently, that part of the Democratic Party actually has jobs.
They were actually not present during the work week.
Anyway, we had some fun here in San Diego.
One of the serious things that did happen, one of the serious things that did happen was the naming of some people in California as co-chairs of the various candidates' committees, you know, rounding up support and so forth.
And the 90% Democrat press here failed, would not cover some of the more interesting ones.
But I thought I'd share them with you.
Of course, where else are you going to go for great information here on the Rush Limbaugh program on the EIB network?
Hillary Clinton has hired Raul Izagiri.
Y-Z-A-G-U-I-R-R-E.
However you pronounce that, that's how you spell it.
He was for 30 years the president of an organization called the National Council of La Raza.
If you do not know, La Raza means the race.
The National Council of the Race is a racist, race-based organization advocating for Latinos.
It is consciously race-based.
They are anti-Semitic.
They are anti-white.
We're all European usurpers.
They're all Indians of some kind, indigenous peoples, and so forth and so on.
They're just the most racist organization in their rhetoric that there can be.
This man, 30 years, the president of that group, has now been promoted by the Clinton campaign.
He will lead the New York Senators' outreach to Hispanic voters.
Oh, yippee.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh, 1-800-282-2882.
Back with more after this.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh and new poll numbers on the presidential race.
We'll get to that in a minute.
In this business of the fury of the left, we're going to have to perform a public service here, ladies and gentlemen, at the EIB Network here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We feel compassion, and we're going to reach out in a moment.
Let's take a call first.
Ron in Chicago, Illinois, next on the Russ Show.
Hi, Ron.
Yes, hi.
So I grew up about three miles away from Hillary.
I went to high school with her.
She was one year ahead of me in high school.
We were in the same school at the same time, and she's lost.
First of all, there were no farmers in the area whatsoever back then.
It's a suburb of Chicago.
It's a fairly urban area and a very, very wealthy suburb where she grew up.
It'd be like the equivalent of like, I don't know, you know, a real fancy neighborhood.
Well, no, you don't doubt that she was babysitting these illegal children, do you?
I don't know where she would have found any to say.
She'd have to have them imported from somewhere because the fact is that where we grew up, there were no families.
And this is not a good thing.
I'm saying at that time, there were no families who weren't white middle-class families.
I went to high school with her, and in our high school, the only kids we ever had who were not white native English speakers basically were foreign exchange students.
Ron, what high school was that?
Maine Township High School East in Park Ridge, Illinois.
All right, thanks, Ron.
Thanks, Ron.
I appreciate the call.
We're going to check on that.
I don't know.
The guy could be from anywhere, but that's interesting.
So here's a, and I read this before: upper-middle-class white neighborhood, basically a suburb.
Where was the farmland?
Where was the, I don't know.
Anyway, but let me get to this point because it is today somewhat of an undercurrent that isn't being fully exploited by the drive-by media, fully understood by the American public.
There is a fury on the left, and we've got to address it.
It's a boil that needs to be lanced here, and we're prepared to do it.
The left is in a fury over this veto.
Even though George Bush prepared him, I mean, how many times did he tell him this is what I'm going to do?
It wasn't a surprise.
Nonetheless, the fact that he actually did it, the vote in the House was 222 to 203 to override.
Now, I needed, what, 60 to whatever it was, votes, and they don't have it to override the veto.
And they certainly are not going to be put in the position this close to an election of cutting off the material needed for troops in the middle of a war.
That's not going to happen either.
And Bush knows it, and they know it.
So there's a fury on the left because there are people on the left, and there are people in the United States Senate and in the House who want the Congress to courageously take a position against the war by not just setting a timetable, but by cutting off the money now.
Bring the troops home now, cut off the money.
Congress declared war, gave the authorization for it.
You know, Edwards voted for that.
Kerry voted for that.
Hillary Clinton voted for that.
Now, of course, they apologize for it.
They say it was wrong.
We were misled.
Bush lied.
All the rest of that stuff that Rush has just pinned him on repeatedly on this program.
I don't need to get back into.
But the new thing is this.
The left is now divided.
Do we send our leaders into the White House as they did yesterday to try to talk about common ground and what we can come up with so we avoid the fallout of actually declaring this war over and return the troops and cut off the money and take the political consequences of that?
Or do we try to again set some kind of timetable, put some kind of timetable on the Iraqi government if Bush won't accept one?
How about putting one on the Iraqi government?
Which, by the way, their parliament is taking a two-month vacation in the summer.
In the midst of this war, the parliament is taking a two-month vacation.
What do they think they are?
The U.S. Congress, these people?
Come on.
So, 222-203, the left is in a fury.
Examples of an evidence for that.
Today's publication by Time magazine of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Rosie O'Donnell is on that list.
Leonardo DiCaprio is on that list.
Model Kate Moss is on that list.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Martin Scorsese are on that list.
The director.
George Bush is not on the list.
So the fury of the left.
Now, we tend to be as big-hearted as this country on this program.
And in that big-heartedness, we feel like we need to reach out.
We need to ask those of you in the audience, and I know there are many, who are in this quandary on the left, who in your heart want to just stop this war now, the Dennis Kucinich approach, cut the funds off, stop the war now.
Then they're the practical left.
Well, you know, we get caught holding a bag here on a defeat, and millions die in Iraq when we pull out and it's blamed on us and we lose the next 10 elections.
Which one are you on?
And please vent.
Particularly if you have a fury with regard to this veto, a fury about George Bush, wanting him, in the words of the lead singer there of A Rage Against the Machine, to be shot, hung, and tried, or whatever the order was of that.
And I love the idea that we'll have the trial last, the punishment first.
So again, 1-800-282-2882, if we can be of service for your venting on the rage from the left on this veto and the fact that it could not be overridden.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh.
Let's take a break on the EIB network.
I got time.
Let's take a call.
Mary Beth and Glastonbury.
I'm glad you said that.
Glastonbury, Connecticut.
Welcome.
Sure.
I just was calling.
My husband and I are in our pickup truck, and we're on our way to pick up some supplies and we're listening to the show.
And you do have it reversed.
They do work up the coast, the immigrants, they do work up the coast, and they go from the south to the north because we are farmers in Connecticut.
Okay.
And I just wanted to let you know that.
Is that true in the Midwest as well?
Or do the wheat and corn come in before the stuff comes in down in Arkansas and Texas?
I don't know.
Well, I really don't know about that.
I'm a farmer in Connecticut.
Do you use illegals on your farm?
Well, we do have legals on our farm.
We'll be back right after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Today, the program number 1-800-282-2882.
Lots going on.
Let's get to it.
Again, a rage on the left.
And if you are on the left, if you are a liberal Democrat, we'd love to hear from you because I want to just see where we're going to go with this because this business of talking about impeachment and killing and shooting and hanging the president, it's starting to really get over the top for a lot of people.
And I think we're going to have to just talk people down from this position because it's just not healthy.
I mean, my feeling is we can perform a public service here.
Leftist fury, you need to vent.
We need as a nation to restore a little civility here, folks, so please give us a call.
Now, today, tonight, and it's interesting where this is being held, the first of the, quote, debates, unquote, for GOP nominee Hopefuls will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, near L.A.
And as this gets prepared for later this afternoon, later this evening in some places, Clinton and Giuliani still are on top of the pile in their respective parties.
Mrs. Clinton is at, in the AP, let's see, is this AP, yeah, in the New York Times today, AP is saying Hillary Clinton at 32, Barack Obama 18, Al Gore at 14, and don't doubt for a minute he's running, my theory.
John Edwards, 12.
In the Republican pile, Giuliani, 27%, McCain, 19, although in some places yesterday's poll said, particularly South Carolina, McCain is advancing.
Fred Thompson, who's not in the race, at 14, Mitt Romney, who is at 8.
We're proposing for Mitt Romney, by the way, a popularity offset.
With the money he got, he could buy some popularity from some of the other candidates.
He's the top fundraiser, but apparently at 8%, not getting the popular vote.
So a popularity offset alongside his carbon offset would be the appropriate thing to do for Mitt.
But the most interesting thing about tonight's debate, quote unquote, is who is moderating it.
Who is moderating the debate?
This is in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
It's Chris Matthews.
Chris Matthews is going to moderate this debate.
Now, he has spent on softball.
Is that the name of the show?
I forget.
Anyway, his show.
For the couple thousand people that watch that, he has spent the week talking about all the things that are going to go wrong, could go wrong, will go wrong with these candidates.
How far are they going to distance themselves from Bush?
How are they ever going to justify their stupid policies?
How are they ever going to distance themselves from all the flip-flops they've been involved in?
What about Giuliani's three watches?
I mean, they go on and on.
On and on.
And then Chris Matthews is going to turn around and be the objective moderator.
When are Republicans going to learn?
90% of every bureaucracy is Democrat.
90% of every newsroom is Democrat.
90% of every college campus is Democrat.
And those are, as you know, sometimes underreported estimates.
All right.
Oh, I got a San Diego call.
We've got to take it.
Maurice in San Diego.
Welcome to the Russian Limbaugh program.
Go ahead.
Kean, how are you doing there, Roger?
Okay.
I listen to you every once in a while.
I just wanted to call you because we wanted to hear from a Liberal Democrat.
Sure.
My parents.
My father was an ex-senator in Minnesota.
But I just want to say one thing about the war.
And I just don't understand why we're going to continue this war when clearly corporations are there for profit.
We say it wasn't for oil, but yet now I hear that the parliament for the Iraqi government is in recess and the American corporations and not even American, but also U.K. and French oil companies are moving in to steal to make sure that the oil profits go to them.
Maurice, what would you like to see the Democrat Party in Congress then do with this?
You know what?
Like to say, take all the profit out of the war, take it all out, and see how many and see how long this war will last after that.
Because without, you know, have our military, have our military go in and do the work that these private corporations and general companies are.
But how do you just talk through this with you?
I want to reach out, Maurice.
What can Congress actually do when you say take the profit out of traditionally what's happened in this country for a long time under both Democrats and Republicans is contracts are let for various things.
They build the tanks in private, you know, and the ships and so forth in private companies.
But what would you like to see Congress actually do?
Just make it illegal for any company to make a profit during war, period.
Period.
So the whole point is to be out of the way.
So then there wouldn't be anything.
So then this would stop the war then because there wouldn't be any tanks or trucks or hummers or whatever, right?
Well, you know, but during World War II, I mean, they stopped making cars so they could create the tanks and jeeps and things that they needed for the war.
That's just not happening now.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Maurice, are you suggesting that General Motors, Ford, Kaiser, all the rest of these people who built the fabulous war machine of World War II didn't make a profit?
Not during war.
So that's the whole point.
That's just my point.
Where were you taught?
Maurice, where were you taught that?
Well, I mean, this is just part of our history.
It wasn't.
But where did you learn it?
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but where did you learn it?
Well, I mean, when in school, I mean, I thought that that was one of our, that was a mandate that during World War II, that the government was not, that the government mandated that companies weren't exploiting, exploiting, making profit during war.
So, I mean, I just think that's not, and that's not happening now.
There's a lot of companies, there's a lot of, there's a lot of people making money, and that's why they want, I believe, and our president included, wants to keep this war going because they're making money.
Would you, and don't you think the Democrats are in on that, too?
Well, you know, have you heard our senator, Diane Feinstein?
Have you heard of our senator as a member of the Military Appropriations Committee in the Congress of the United States directing billions of dollars of these contracts you're discussing here to private companies for the purchase of military goods that were controlled by her husband?
I think that as far as our government, I mean, I think I had to take the lesser of the two evils.
I know one is better than the other, but I just believe the Republicans are about making money and profit of war more than the Democrats.
So I have to say that.
All right, now, Maurice, have you felt better about venting here?
I'm sorry?
Do you feel better now that you vented here on the Rush Show?
Yeah, I kept my point across.
I hope a lot of people agree with what I'm saying, but I do.
I feel much better.
Oh, then I feel better, Maurice, and I appreciate your call here on the Rush Limbaugh program, 1-800-282-2882.
Today, reaching out because of the fury on the left has reached a point where simply there must be an intervention.
There has to be an intervention.
We just need to do our part on this program to restore civility.
Ken in Ocala, Florida, next on the Rush Show.
Ken, welcome.
God bless you and what you're doing.
I'll tell you one thing, a 20-year veteran, after listening to Maurice out there, he frightens me more than the enemy does, and that includes Reed, Pelosi, Durban, Burke, and Konichi.
But I just want for one person on the left or a Democrat or especially the ones in Washington, D.C., to tell us how, if we said today, okay, we agree, we're going to get out, tell us how to do it.
I mean, for God's sakes, don't you know that they'd be shooting us as the last plane left?
How would we do it, Roger?
I don't know, and I'm not in favor of it, Ken.
I'm just trying to reach out today.
It doesn't make sense to me.
I'm sorry, I'm old enough to remember when the last helicopter left the roof there in Saigon.
I was there.
Okay, well, and Ken, so you know better than I, doing that again is not something most Americans want to see here or experience.
But that's why I'm asking the Democrats today not only for this idea of civility, reaching across the venting, which we've got to do here to bring the level of this hate down.
Hate is bad, and the left now is raging.
They're in a rage.
They're in a fury about George Bush's veto, and we've simply got to reduce the hate.
But I'll tell you, in terms of how to end this war, if you're just going to announce a date of surrender and then call it support for the troops, I don't understand it.
You don't understand it, but we've got to reach out.
Those people, those people that are always saying it, and the American people have spoken, I don't believe the American people, the majority of them, want us to lose that war over there.
And they should stand up and say, how do you want us to do it?
If you say get out today, how can you do it?
That ought to shut your mouth.
Well, we'll find out, Ken, when we come back.
Well, God bless you, Roger.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Was that actually Rush calling in?
It could have been.
I'm Roger Hedchcock.
This is on the Rush Limbaugh Program, and we're going to take a break and be back.
1-800-282-2882 with your phone call next.
Welcome back, everybody, to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush Today, taking your calls at 1-800-282-2882.
Talk to it.
And again, I want to reach out here because we've got to get some of this fury on the left.
Time magazine coming out, 100 most influential people in the world.
And Leonardo DiCaprio, I mean, cute, but come on.
On the list, and George Bush isn't.
Now, that's fury.
I mean, that isn't even reasonable.
That isn't even - I mean, we would put Clinton in his era on the 100 most influential because influential for good or ill, I mean, you debate it.
But to say the president of the United States is not influential, come on.
Come on, Time.
I mean, this is a fury.
We need to vent here.
We need to get the liberal left out because this fury is a negative force in our country, and it needs to be vented.
Bunny in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, you're next.
Hi, Bunny.
Roger, thank you for taking my call.
I don't know what I am anymore.
I worked for Papa Bush in 88, but I want you to know the fury is not just on the left.
Our legacy can't be, I mean, we grew up, most of us, at least formative years, somewhat with the 60th thought process, which was peace.
Where is the money?
Where is the appropriation for that?
I just sent a request for an emergency $1 million for educating and putting the Coalition for Peace together that'll go in with this proposed appropriation for the war on terror.
The war on terror isn't going to be fought with bullets.
It's got to be fought with minds.
And we've got to reach young people.
They aren't born not getting along.
Catholics and Protestants in Belfast aren't born not getting along.
Kids will play with each other.
They don't care what color they are, what creed, or any darn thing else.
And the fury isn't just on the left.
And it isn't just about this war.
It's about Eisenhower, who was Republican, warned us about the military and industrial complex.
And I'll tell you something.
You know, I'm involved in a lot of different groups, but one of the people that I listen to the most is L. Ron Hubbard.
And he said, until we can talk about the city.
Let me just interrupt.
Bunny, let me just interrupt for one second before we get to L. Ron Hubbard.
I mean, I'm in California.
We tolerate a lot of diversity of opinion.
But before we get to L. Ron Hubbard, let me just ask you, bringing it back down to today's headlines, what would you like to see the Democratic majority in Congress do about this war?
What I just said, I think we need to appropriate money to get people over there who really can start settling differences, getting people on both sides.
Look, fanatics are only fanatics mainly because they're not educated.
So education has to be part of it.
You can tell a young person starting in childhood to hate something, but if they actually study and read their own religion, and I have studied Islam, it's a beautiful religion.
It really is.
If they're taught their own religion, they're going to get along better.
And it's got to start at very young ages, and it has to.
I think the women's role internationally needs to be played up, and we need to be much more involved in peace.
And I think until we do that, we're just going to have more military-industrial complex, which again, a Republican general warned us about.
Oh, and by the way, that previous caller, the previous caller, Roger, he's not talking about not getting paid.
He's talking about not enormous profits.
We need a Grace Commission concept on the cost of these Humvees and this and that and the other.
There's no way in heck you can tell me that they actually cost that much.
I mean, there's just no way.
I don't believe that.
All right.
Well, now, Bunny, we've gotten it out on the table.
How do you feel?
I'm still shaking because I can't believe I got through.
You got through, and you got your point of view on.
Don't you feel better now?
I'll feel better when I actually see people funding what needs to happen.
Here's a concept for you, Roger.
Check this in.
No, no, no, no, buddy.
Let me go back to my concept.
All right, go ahead.
All right.
I'm on a mission today of conciliation, of reaching out, of a return to civility, of trying to get the left to back down from the fury, the hate, the screaming of to hang and try and shoot or shoot and try and hang or burn whatever it was, Bush, and that I heard last weekend and some of the impeach everybody in the administration talk that I've heard.
We're trying to get people to just vent and start a process of healing.
Now, Bunny, have we started this process with you?
We have, but I'll tell you what, Roger, you know as well as I do.
I know we have a long way to go.
No, I'm clear that we have a long way to go, Bunny.
I just want to make sure that I have contributed by getting you to start the process of healing.
Roger, it will start when I get the appropriation and we get some financial backing from corporations and whatever it takes to actually get a job done that can happen because.
Because you want financial backing from corporations that are not allowed to make any profit.
I'm just trying to understand.
Look, there shouldn't be a limit on the amount of profit made, and I don't know how you do that without, you know, then who's guarding the guards.
But the Grace Commission was a good example, okay?
Bunny, I tell you what, I tell you what, God bless you.
Thanks for the call.
And we got it all in before we got to L. Ron Hubbard.
That was close.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, 1-800-282-2882, the number.
This is the Rush Limbaugh program back after this.
I guess Fred Thompson won't be there, but a number, 10 maybe, will be at the Reagan Library for the Republican hopefuls, including Duncan Hunter, who's been showing up in the straw polls pretty strongly.
Our congressman from this area, the only member of Congress who has actually built a fence at the border between Tijuana and San Diego, a fence that works so well, by the way, that they have now discovered up to 31 tunnels under it as the smugglers trying to figure out some way to defeat Duncan Hunter's fence.
Anyway, Congressman Hunter will be among the others involved.
Let's take time for a Qbert in Sioux City, Iowa.
Hubert, you're on the rush show.
Go ahead.
Hey, Roger, how are you doing today?
Go ahead.
We've got just 30 seconds.
Yeah, Hillary, she's not well, we used to have mechan, or we had mechanical equipment, combines and stuff to do all the harvesting during that time.
The only time we ever had Mexicans up here was during weed control, and that was during they would go out and hoe weeds in the summer, and they weren't around for no time to go to school.
Now, wait, wait, we can't use the H-word.
I'm sorry, Hubert.
In the post-Imus world, whatever you just said cannot be said.
So without saying that, in other words, you had some weed control.
They were using some sort of implement that's known by a name we can't say anymore.
Oh, we don't use a combine?
No, I didn't mean combine.
The H word.
You mentioned...
Well, anyway, Hubert, thanks for the call.
I've got to run, but we're trying to keep that away.
I mean, even Santa Claus said it three times the other day and got arrested.
I'm Roger Hedgecock on The Rush Show, and we'll be back in the next hour.
The things that infuriate me.
