Time Text
And greetings one and all.
I am Rush Limboy, your guiding light.
Through times of chaos, tumult, torture, humiliation, biblical plagues early, tropical storms, and even the good times, and we are here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Doing what we do best.
Folks, enjoy life.
While at the same time having a serious discussion of issues that matter to all of us.
A telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882 at the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Ever since I said yesterday that I got we got our first shipments of Nobel Peace Prize mugs uh in honor of my Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
Uh people have been, well, where's mine?
Where's mine?
Well, I get mine first.
You have to understand this.
I'm the grand poop.
Get mine first.
That means that yours are on the way, though.
They were shipped at the same time.
But I do, I do want to apologize for how long this has taken.
I I personally find it outrageous that it would take two months to get some mugs printed up.
But we had all kinds of problems.
They came back, the color wasn't right on uh on on a bunch of them, and uh so I I uh I apologize, but they're manufactured now and they look right.
Uh they look good, and they're on the way to those of you who have uh become new subscribers at uh the Limbaugh Letter newsletter uh or the um website, Rush Limbaugh.com, or both.
But uh uh it's it frankly, it's uh I've blown my stack about this.
You know you people don't know how many times.
Uh and it means it's ridiculous for something like this to take two months.
Print up some mugs.
And it is totally ridiculous.
Anyway, it's done now, and it's uh it's out there.
Now and they're on the way to you.
Well, we have the Democrats are now proposing a new Iraq funding bill that would what way would end uh funded only through July.
Fund the troops only through July.
And of course the president's out there saying that they'll veto that.
Um I'll tell you uh w what happened, uh, you know, the thwarted attempt to kill hundreds of soldiers at Fort Dix, which is a jumping off point for troops being sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Uh and then these Republicans.
Now, I the bunch of Republicans showed up at the White House yesterday, and there was a there was a a word that was cleverly left out by the drive-by media in discussing the Republicans that showed up at the White House and told the president, you better get a rock in gear over there because our support's waiting too.
Now, this is what the Democrats never do.
We were talking about this in the previous hour.
The Democrats never kill their own.
The Democrats circle the wagons and protect themselves.
Liberals of all stripes will do this.
Well, the truth is this was moderate Republicans that went up to the White House yesterday to warn the president that Iraq must start showing some gains, or their support is going to be fleeting.
Uh this is the the drive-bys, folks, they were they were orgasmic.
They were playing this uh as though it was the Republicans walking up to Nixon and saying, All right, we can't support you anymore, tricky dick.
You gotta resign.
They're playing it up that way.
Of course, these are moderates, and I have a news flash for you.
Moderates are constantly uneasy.
They're always uneasy about everything, and the closer we get to their own reelection, why they're gonna get even more uneasy.
Lawmakers said Mr. Bush made no commitment, seemed grateful for their support up to now.
The moderate Republicans said a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq had caused a sort of chaos that occurred in Southeast Asia after the Americans left Vietnam.
Uh now they didn't bail.
They went up there and they made news on the on the basis that they threatened the president.
They warned the president that they uh were going to bail.
Representative Charles W. Dent of Pennsylvania, co-chairman of the Tuesday group.
It's an alliance of about 30 moderate Republican lawmakers helped arrange the meeting.
He said a lawmakers wanted to convey the frustration and impatience with the war that they are hearing from voters.
We had a very frank conversation about the situation there uh in Iraq.
Even so, the Republicans who attended the White House session indicated they would maintain solidarity with Mr. Bush for now by opposing the latest Democrat proposal for two stage financing of the war, scheduled for a vote on Thursday in the House, and that's the vote to uh permit funding only through July.
I mean, that's that's a laugher if it weren't so damn serious.
It's uh it's it's comical.
But this is um this is all about Republicans, you know, wanting to fly the coup, protect themselves.
It's and one of the easiest outs.
One of the easiest scapegoats.
Well, I'm hearing from my constituents out there.
All right, well, you've been hearing about them on immigration, too, and you have a diddly squat on that.
You've been hearing from your constituents about a lot of things that you're not listening to them on.
But let them call in about Iraq if they even are in these great numbers.
And since they're moderate Republicans, they might be.
And then you've got here here's here's another thing that's happening, folks, and this is not good, and I I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the the you've you've got some Republicans out there saying we've got them, we gotta move to the center here.
We got if we're gonna win the House back in 2008, if we're gonna win the White House, we got we got to move to the center.
No, no, did you know how the Democrats won the House in 2006, you idiots?
They ran 12 or 13 conservative Democrats who ran to the right of their dem of Republican opponents in these uh in these Southern states.
People like Heath Schuler, uh South Carolina, North Carolina, whatever it's one of the Carolinas.
Uh the Democrats knew full well what they had to do to win the House.
They had to get a bunch of conservative Democrats, pro-life Democrats, to run to the right of these Republicans who don't get it for who knows whatever reason.
And those conservative Democrats are the ones that gave us this Stalinist Democrat leadership in the House of Representatives.
Nancy Pelosi on down to Stenny Hoyer, and you name it.
And they can't pass anything, they can't get anything done.
All they can do is uh pass these meaningless little war bills that, well, they're not meaningless.
I don't mean to characterize them that way.
They're quite they're quite dangerous.
But they can't pass any legislation.
About the only thing they've done of note is name a courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri after my grandfather and the Department of Education of Washington after LBJ.
And that's about what they've done.
All these promises that they made, they haven't gotten anything done.
Uh and yet it's being portrayed that they're in having romantic success and uh robust success and all kinds of uh great things are planned in the future and so forth.
And now we add to the mix the Republicans, uh moderate Republicans trudging up to the White House for dialogue with the uh with the president to warn him that their patience is not limitless on this.
Uh while all this is going on, you've got people like Muki Al-Soder and Uncle Benny, according that the Fort Dick Six call him Uncle Benny, uh Osama bin Laden.
They're sitting over there and they they're playing everybody in this country like a stratovarius.
They're playing weak-minded Republicans like a violin.
They're playing the drive-by media.
You had Zawa Hiri over the weekend with the tape saying, hey, you know that bill of Democrats lost that proves that Washington's defeated.
That proves it.
I wonder how the Democrats I don't think they even care.
One of the Democrats feel that number two man to Uncle Benny is uh is on their side, praising their efforts, well, praising, saying, hey, this proves it.
We've won.
They've lost.
Washington's admitted defeat, which is exactly what they hope to get from the Democrats in the last election, and they did.
In the middle of all this, the troops who are in the middle of a surge, don't think they don't hear about this, and don't think it doesn't affect them either.
Petraeus, their commander comes to town.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't have time.
Oh no, don't have time.
Uh much more serious things uh on the agenda.
Got to funnel some money to the company out there close to where my husband owns property, and Diane Feinstein the same thing.
We got more important things to do here.
And we've got to bash Bush, uh, and we've got to politicize that tornado out there.
We've got to make America think 10,000 people died, and it Bush doesn't care, and the Federal Government's not prepared under Bush to do anything and to protect people uh and uh so forth and so on.
Uh yeah, the governor of Kansas get in on this bit, kind of came back in bitter uh in the uh in the rear end.
Uh but you've you the all of these all these things are happening, and it's well, I say understandable.
I mean, it's it's understandable in one sense, and that is Republicans are afraid.
And uh in a way, you can understand how they're afraid.
They look at the election results of 06 and they see how the drive-by's are given a pass to every Democrat doing anything about anything, and they see the drive-by's joining the Democrat agenda, and they're looking at their future, so gee, what do we got?
And this is, I'm telling you, I hate to say this again, because it sounds like a broken record.
The absence of elected strong conservative leadership in Washington leads to all these individual Republicans heading out on their own, bailing out, doing what they can to save and protect themselves, and while in the process of doing it, not in the slightest way understanding what they have to do to actually win.
They actually believe that running away from George W. Bush, this is how the drive bys affect them.
They live in Washington to work in Washington.
They actually think that distancing themselves from Bush and putting themselves out there as warning Bush is going to get them accolades and applause and votes from Republicans.
In November of 2008, and they haven't the slightest clue how their voters are actually perceiving this.
I wouldn't be surprised if these guys are being victimized by organized phone campaigns and email campaigns from people who say they are their constituents.
Actually from a moveon.org mailing list, or an ACLU or People for the American Way mailing list or what have you.
Anyway, little long, be back with uh more after this, plus your phone calls.
Yesterday on this program, I actually opened the program by asking if anybody had seen Al Gore or Lori David conducting a press conference on the first subtropical storm out there, subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell.
Which, by the way, if you seen the latest forecast track, they got it doing circles out there now.
It was gonna come close to making landfall south of Jacksonville, a little south of Jacksonville.
Now it's it's it's not gonna make landfall and it's gonna turn back out to sea.
You watch.
Things are gonna go out there head our way before it's all said and done.
You just you you just watch.
But regardless, I was prescient once again.
Laurie David shows up on PMS NBC this morning, the morning show, Joe Scarborough taking his shot at the morning show.
And uh Scarborough asked her about the Malibu fires and uh the California fires, and she launched.
I mean, do you believe what is going on in this country weather wise?
Is any I mean, are you guys talking about this?
I mean, honestly, I have you let me just ask you this, okay?
When you were growing up, do you remember that an ex severe weather was a regular category every night on the evening news?
Do you remember that?
No.
And the reason was there was no political agenda behind the weather when we were growing up, Lori.
Now there's a political agenda driving the weather.
It's called global warming.
And every weather, there are no such things as weather phenomenon.
I don't, you know, with the sorry thing that happened at Greenburg, Greensburg, Kansas, but tornadoes happen.
Uh, and they've been happening long before we were born, Lori, before we were kids, and so do hurricanes, and they've been happening.
And and there's nothing that happens in weather that's unique.
Nothing that happens in weather that is unprecedented.
It's not possible.
This planet's been around too long.
How many billions and billions and billions of years of the planet have been around?
All of a sudden, for us during our lifetimes, all of a sudden things are happening that have never happened before.
Oh my God, and we're the ones responsible.
Oh my God.
Oh, we're really destroying the plan.
Oh, no, oh, really?
My God, we got to do we need higher taxes.
Why we know one square of toilet paper per bathroom visit?
Why, we've got to change our light bulbs.
This is absurd.
It's paddling absurd.
And of course, I'm going to read something to you from our local paper here, the uh the Palm Beach Post.
And this is about tropical storm Andrea Mitchell out there.
I just want to read the first couple lines and see if anything reaches out and grabs you.
Three weeks before hurricane guides appear in local grocery stores, subtropical storm Andrea Mitchell swirled off the North Florida coast Wednesday, a reminder that Mother Nature is in charge here.
The first named May storm in more than a quarter century, Andrea Mitchell isn't expected to strengthen much beyond its current 45 mile per hour winds, and may not even strike land.
What stands out at you in that sentence?
Dawn, what stands out?
No, it's not no, no, the fact that's see, this is how they do it.
Don't reaction, it's not going to strike land.
That's what no, what stands out is this, the first named May storm in more than a quarter century.
It means that 25 years ago there was one in May.
There was a named storm prior to June 1st, hurricane season.
25 years ago.
25 years ago, they were warming us of global cooling.
A new ice age.
So, yeah, we got this thing out there.
Oh, see, and then the Laurie Davis of the world hype all over this and claim it's a result of global warming and of course man's uh decadent uh lifestyle.
But there's nothing happening today in weather that has not happened before countless, countless other times.
Uh more audio sound bites.
Katie Kirk, by the way, let me tell you what happened on this.
You know, yesterday I also opened the show, and I offered, because when I saw that the CBS evening news with Katie Couric's ratings are the lowest they've been since 1987, 20 years.
I offered myself as an exclusive interview subject to Katie and the CBS Evening News live interview in order to jack the ratings, because I'm Rush Limbaugh, I am ratings.
I offered to help.
And CBS did call.
Sixty minutes called.
My old buddy from 60 Minutes who produced the first segment, the well, the only one, the first one they did on me way back in the early 90s, Bob Anderson calls.
Oh, well, we'd be happy uh to uh to have Katie interview you for 60 minutes and then run uh excerpts of that interview on the evening news.
And uh we smiled and we chuckled.
Nice nice tribe, Bob, you smart guy.
But no, the deal was I offer myself to Katie for the evening news one-shot live interview.
Knowing full well it'll never happen, ladies and gentlemen, for a host of reasons, but among the reasons at the top, can you imagine if an if a live interview with me actually did jack the ratings?
What would that say?
And we know that it would, we would make sure that it did, because I am Rush Limbaugh.
I am ratings.
Anyway, we have a soundbite from Katie.
Uh, and uh her uh her news last night, CBS evening news about all this extreme weather.
Already this month, federal disasters have been declared in six states.
By the way, don't think nature has spared the rest of the world.
Australia is dealing with its worst drought ever.
Italy is also suffering through a drought.
Meanwhile, usually dry parts of northern Africa have been hit with deadly rainstorms, and it seems almost biblical that 2007 is the year of the locust.
Wait, this is a newscast.
How does that get thrown in?
And it seems almost bibli.
By the way, Katie, your audience doesn't want to hear references to the Bible.
Uh big, big no no.
Don't know who put that on the prompter.
But somebody uh should have gotten it off of there.
Now we have we have a montage here from MSNBC's Amy Roebuck, ABC's Sam Champion, and NBC's Dawn Friend Tangelo and Mount Wower on Tropical Storm Andrea Mitchell.
We have a name storm three weeks before the season is even supposed to start.
Tropical storm Andrea, it's three weeks ahead of the hurricane season.
She's called Andrea, arriving a full three weeks before the official start of hurricane season.
The first named storm is hovering offshore weeks before it should be there.
Andrea, only the 17th name storm in history to arrive before June 1st.
Only the 17th?
Only the 17th?
Only the 17th.
Why, that means there have been 16 namestorms before the start of hurricane season before Andrea Mitchell.
Only the oh my gosh, that well, that indicates some sign of that there's tumult and chaos in the natural order of things out there.
Only the 17th time in uh history.
No, not in history, in recorded history.
Because until we came along, the Earth didn't know that June 1st was the start of hurricane season.
Do you think Mother Nature knew that June 1st was the Do you think That Mother Nature even knows when it's June.
It's just we call it June.
And we say hurricane season starts on June 1st.
Look at Palm Beach.
We got turtle season starting on March 1st.
They don't show up until May 1st.
Do you think the turtles know that they're supposed to be in here in March because we've got a town council make an ordinance saying they got to turn the lights out?
Do you think your cat, like I have an Abyssinian cat?
Do you think my cat knows it's an Abyssinian cat?
In fact, do you think my cat knows it's even a cat?
It's it's just it it I'll guarantee you.
My cat thinks it's a person.
Cats have staff, dogs have masters.
We invent all these terms.
So the idea that there have been 17 name storms before hurricane season?
Did we get hurricane season in the Ten Commandments?
Is there some proclamation from some higher power that says June 1st is it?
Anything happens before that is something's wrong.
Grow up, folks.
Before we uh move on with uh telephone calls and other exciting elements of today's busy broadcast, I want to talk about the Kansas governor.
Uh Ms uh Ms. Sibilius.
Um this is a great display.
It's a classic, as I love to say, classic illustration of the politicization of virtually everything now, including disasters.
Not man-made, natural acts of God, a tornado that wiped out the town of Greenburg, Kansas, becomes a political weapon for the Democrat Party.
You heard what she said.
Well, we can't we can't we can't go in there and help those people.
We can't do anything.
Why are the National Guards over in Iraq?
Now I have highly tuned antennae, ladies and gentlemen, and I know these liberals like every square inch of my shrinking yet glorious naked body.
And I don't believe this woman came up with that on her own.
I've not known uh uh spent a lot of time studying the pronouncements of the governor of Kansas.
But I do know the Democrat Party.
And it wouldn't be it wouldn't surprise me a bit that if if if her statements about this were issued to her from higher powers in the Democrat Party.
They do, they coordinate everything, folks.
Everything is co- and this is just too pat.
This is just right out of the Democrat playbook.
It's right out of Hurricane Katrina.
It covers a bunch of what they care about.
A politicizing an agenda.
It's a disaster.
It's the next Katrina.
And they hate the war in Iraq, and they're doing everything they can to secure defeat, and so tie it to Iraq.
It was almost predictable.
It was almost two pat.
Oh, yeah, we can't do anything.
We have no, we have no, we have no ability to go in there and help these people because Bush has sent the National Guard of Kansas over to Iraq.
Well, it turns out none of this is true.
And uh Sibelius knew it, and is eventually the White House.
This is why I think she was being led on a leash by this, because she's allowed herself to be made to look like a fool.
It turns out, and the White House has admitted this, hey, look, because they she attacked the White House, the Democrats attacked the White House over this.
And Tony Snow said, we give, you know, you gotta ask for it.
If you want federal assistance, you have to ask for it.
We can't just run out in the states and flood the states with military people and equipment like you've got to ask for it.
And it turns out she did ask for it, and she got pretty much what she wanted.
So the whole thing was blown up.
The whole thing, I think the whole thing is uh is a staged incident.
And so there's this uh this website, the Armed Forces Press Service.
National Guard troops responding to a tornado that devastated Greensburg, Kansas, have the manpower and the resources they need, and they can tap into additional support if they need it, defense officials said today.
And this is uh this is some two days ago.
If the National Guard has it, Kansas will receive it, said Army Lieutenant General H. Stephen Blum, the chief of the uh National Guard Bureau, some 566 members of the Kansas National Guard, 366 Army Guard, 200 Air Guard, are on duty conducting search and rescue missions, clearing debris, helping generate power, supporting law enforcement officials, and providing other support.
The Kansas National Guard has eighty-eight percent of its forces available.
It's working quickly and aggressively to save lives and reduce suffering.
More than sixty, eight hundred additional Kansas Guard troops can be tapped if needed, as well as more than eighty thousand guardsmen from surrounding states, said the Pentagon spokesman Brian Whitman.
The whole thing was made up.
And the whole thing has the stench of an organized campaign from the top to me.
Whole thing was made up.
Besides that, this is where I have to question people's common sense.
But it's my question is tempered by the fact that I understand the basic human nature predisposition to believing doom and gloom.
Everybody has seemed to be wired to believe the worst of everything.
And so we hear that 10,000 people died from Obama, and people in his crowd nod their heads.
Yeah, that is such a gaff.
Imagine if Bush had said it or any other Republican presidential candidate had said it, that would still be news.
They'd be laughing about it.
Barack is allowed to get off and say, well, I was tired.
You know, I've been flying around hopscotch it on my jet.
I was tired.
No, he was politicizing it.
Uh but the the idea that we in the United States of America do not have resources in this country before because of the war in Iraq is patently absurd.
And yet people, when this uh when the governor first makes this announcement, I I'll I'll guarrand you a whole lot of people bought it.
Hook, line, and sinker.
Yeah, Bush set the troops over there to Iraq.
Why there's no way to help these people in Greensburg, Kansas.
As this report discusses, we have National Guard equipment and troops in surrounding states.
We've got military people stationed all over the world.
Uh this is a byproduct of Bush has depleted the military.
People are serving two and three tours, guards are over there, they shouldn't be over there because we're short on enlistment.
They've been running a never ending bashed Bush, bash the military campaign for five years.
And this was just the latest installment of it, and they used the governor of uh of Kansas to uh advance this.
Total total politics.
John in Topeka, uh, Kansas, speaking of the devil.
Uh great to have you and welcome to the EIB network.
I get in there, Rush.
How are you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Uh I am in the National Guard in Kansas, and my unit is a very good thing.
Wait, wait, wait.
What part of Iraq are you calling from?
Oh, I guess my cell phone doesn't work in Iraq.
I'm calling from Topeka Kansas.
Well, you're in the National Guard and you're in Kansas?
Amazing, isn't it?
We're not in Iraq.
Yeah, I uh well, I wonder if the governor knows that you're there.
Well, I guess I'll have to call her right after I get off the phone with you, so.
Yeah, I just find it offensive that she's using us to uh uh for for pull it for political gain.
Why?
Why are you why are well you offensive?
Uh you shouldn't be, yeah, maybe it would be offended, but it shouldn't be surprised.
She's a Democrat.
Right, not surprised.
Have you been called to serve?
Have you been have you been asked to go out to help in Greensburg?
Uh yeah, we uh a lot of us have been volunteering to go, so yeah, but I mean, have you been officially called because we're told that there aren't any of you there?
And and that we're left to believe that virtually every scrap of National Guard personnel and equipment is being sent there now because there's such a shortage, and yet you're calling from Topeka.
Uh, I guess you haven't received orders to head out to Greensburg.
No, absolutely not.
It's right now it's an important thing.
Well, this doesn't make sense.
A drive-by's are saying just things I don't know what to do here.
Uh well, you should call a governor's office.
Tell him I told you to call is that you're available.
Oh, and you've been trying to volunteer to get out there and nobody's answering.
No.
I know you can't do that.
That's jumping the chain of command, but uh I just say this rhetorically to make a point.
I appreciate the call, John.
Thanks much.
This is Rick in Malibu.
Nice to have you, sir.
Greg, and welcome to the EIB network.
Thanks, Rush.
Thanks for having me on.
I just I had to call, because I started giggling a little bit about all this global warming hysteria when you played that clip earlier.
Lori David.
I think it was Laurie David Hawking, connecting the Los Angeles wildfire, the one in Griffith Park to global warming.
When the conventional wisdom and the current theory out here is that fire was started when a man with a lit cigarette fell asleep in the park.
That's what that's what the news is out here.
So unless global warming caused that man to fall asleep, I really don't see the connection to you.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It might have been a cigarette.
It might have been a bum or anybody else throwing a cigarette.
But if it weren't for global warming causing less rainfall than normal, the Griffith Park wouldn't have gone up in flames the way it did.
See, that's what they'll say.
They've got this.
They've got this down pat.
But all they're doing is playing on the fact that the the okay you get fires.
We've got fires in Georgia.
In fact, I have to tell you, we have fires in Florida here.
It's bad Alligator Alley, which connects Fort Lauderdale to Naples been shut down for the second day.
Parts of it have been.
And I told you yesterday I walked outside and the sky is totally gray, looks overcast.
There's not a cloud nearby.
It's it's the smoke from all the fires.
You can smell it a little bit out there.
And the kids are out playing in this schoolyard across the street.
It's highly irresponsible.
Uh and I uh it's it's it's I'm joking about this.
But it's it's as though these kind of fires, like you heard Katie Couric, biblical proportions.
Two thousand and seven year of the locust.
And it's uh preposterous.
All of this is is just preposterous.
So global warming is responsible for the fires.
By the way, anybody know when did we start naming hurricanes?
And I happen to know.
Uh any of you people know when we started naming hurricanes.
Nineteen fifty-one uh happens to be the uh the year that I was born.
Uh 1951.
What what were hurricanes before that?
What did we call them?
Do you by the way?
How do we know this is only the 17th storm to pre-feed hurricane thievan?
Because we're only able to see these things around the world with satellites, and how long have we had satellites?
Not much before 1951, 55 Sputnik 58.
So how do we even know?
We even this all of this is just I don't know how to describe it, but it really frightens me for the overall intelligence of the people of this country.
I am starting to agree with those of you who have called me and said that we've got way too many idiots in this country, and you can you can you can define them.
You can see them easily by how many of them just suck up all this BS from the left.
Back in a sec.
Hi, welcome back.
Rushland bought talent on loan from God.
Johnny in El Paso, thanks for calling, and welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Thanks, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Hey, that guy in Griffith Park that burned down the park.
If the smoking Nazis had allowed that guy to smoke indoors instead of outdoors, he probably would have just burned his cigarette out in an ashtray.
Well, you know, in New Mexico, when they had a peak of the forest fire season, it was against the law to smoke outside.
You would get a ticket for smoking outdoors.
Right.
And you can't smoke inside anymore, so uh but anyway, I think uh I don't know who started this fire out in the Griffith Park.
The the caller said it was a bum.
And if it was a bum, it'd mean a mum, the bum didn't have an indoors to go to.
Uh but it is an interesting thought.
If the bum had been indoors somewhere and threw the cigarette down, it'd just be one house that went up instead of a whole park.
Outdoors, me.
I I don't want to call the guy a bum because that would be an unfair characteristic.
It's just an outdoorsman uh out there trying to enjoy life, had a little cigarette, flipped it off, and pam, uh we've we've got a fight.
It is an interesting thing.
It's the unintended consequences of uh all this uh this liberal do-gooderism.
Great, great, great news here, folks.
For the Democrats.
Headline says it all, Walmart sales are the worst in 28 years.
Walmart stores posted its worst monthly same store sales results in at least 28 years, tallying a three and a half percent decline in April due to this year's early Easter, as well as generally challenging economic conditions for consumers.
Oh right.
Walmart taking it in the shorts.
Yes.
Oh, the Democrats are gonna love this.
This is I mean, will Walmart biting the dust like this?
The three and a half percent sales decline, biggest sales decline 28 years.
This is news made to Order for the Democrats.
Wait till you see.
Can a recession be far behind?
I mean, you know, but they'll be happy.
This may be a reprieve for mom and pops that's threatened by Walmart's existence.
Oh.
Wait till we see how they politicize this.
Well known communist sympathizer, Jane Fonda was on Larry King live last night, and Larry knew it.
Uh you happen to know who his guest was last night.
And he asked her uh.
Asked her a question do you do you see parallels between Vietnam and Iraq?
Oh, yes, I do.
Got in based on lies.
Scared to get out, because our presidents are afraid it'll make them look unmanly, I guess, even though they know.
At least I hope this one knows.
All the others during the Vietnam War knew if you read the Pentagon Papers that we couldn't win, but they were scared of of pulling out, you know, premature evacuation and all that.
We can't win this.
We couldn't win the Vietnam War.
It was the wrong war.
You don't go to war for lies.
And uh, you know, a difference is that now it's just poor kids that are going over there and dying and are less well equipped and less armored than they were during the Vietnam War.
It's a tragedy.
It's just it's I don't think anything has hurt this country as much as what President Bush has done to us.
Now this is unbelievable.
This is one giant cliche.
Did you hear her say, though?
Premature evacuation.
Presidents are afraid of getting out of wars because of premature evacuation.
It reminded me of the Code Pink Babe back in January.
And we women say pull.
Ouch.
No.
There you have it.
Premature evacuation.
The women of the left.
Here's Maureen in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Hi, Maureen.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, I'm so happy to be here.
Thank you.
Um I heard this morning about the uh GOP moderates heading over to the White House to uh, I don't know, show some kind of They went over there to warn President Bush that their support was uh only going to last so long and that the Iraqis had better stand up and show some success, or they were gonna evacuate prematurely.
Well, uh my first thought was they should be going over to the White House to apologize for not going back to their constituents and getting out the right message about what's going on in Iraq and the larger picture that Iraq represents.
What is the matter with them?
Uh they're scared.
They're scared for their re-election.
They're not gonna be able to.
Well that's that's that's hideously uh What do you think?
That's not what I expect from Republicans.
Maureen, uh what do you think the first job of an elected official is, and then what do you think the second job of an elected official is?
Well, the first job of an elected official is to you know, I'm kind of a libertarian anyway, so I but they they should their job should be to get re-elected.
No, it's not a good idea.
No, I'm not telling don't let's not we're we're not we're we're not playing idealist here, we're not running for, you know, we're not trying to become the Miss America pageant winner.
We're talking about re the f reality.
The first job of an elected official is to get re-elected.
The second job of a uh uh elected officials be re-elected, and a third job is to spend money to do it.
Yeah, well, well, that's the way it is.
Then uh, you know, I'm gonna drop out.
I'm gonna quit voting.
I can't take it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, don't don't drop out.
That's the last thing is needed.
But you do need to understand why these are moderates, remember you're not a moderate, right?
You're a conservative.
Right.
Well, all right.
You know, moderates.
Have you have you ever been in the library?
You ever look go uh do this for me.
Go to the library the next time you have a chance, if you know where it is.
We go all the time.
I have five kids.
Great.
Well, go in there and ask the librarian for the book titled Great Moderates in American History.
Do it.
Do it for the fun of it.
See what the librarian says.
You know, the woman or the the guy at the at the at the front desk screen.
I I'm looking for a book, Rush Limboss.
It's in her great moderates uh in American history.
And I'll bet you they start looking it up.
Or they'll they'll send you to the Bill Clinton section.
Yeah.
But there isn't one.
Um There isn't one, and uh there never will be a book on great moderates in American history.
Uh I'm not trying to turn you off from voting.
Um not not not in the slightest.
Don't don't do that.
Fastest three hours in media, and two of them in the can, so to speak.
