Time Text
The views expressed by the host of this show, not necessarily those of the staff management nor sponsors of this station, nor are they the views of some in the audience.
But they should be and soon will be.
Great to be back with you.
Having more fun than a human being, should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting network.
I am America's real anchorman.
As well as America's truth detector and the Doctor of Democracy combined into one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
A telephone number.
800 282-2882.
The email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
We mentioned at the beginning of the program that Democrats have surrendered from surrender.
They uh they got an Iraq funding bill, but they they they agreed to pull out any timetable for troop withdrawal, is not sitting well out there with their kook fringe that is also their base.
Uh it's a total sellout.
Uh read to you a uh a post on Democrat Underground where the the kooks out there actually think that this is a Rove Bush plot to throw the November elections.
I can't do this with a straight face.
Uh Bush Rove decided to throw the congressional elections and put the Democrats in power, knowing full well the Democrats wouldn't withdraw the troops and make them look bad with their own people.
Anyway, the Breck Girl was uh was on the Today Show today with Matt Wauer, and uh Matt O'Wauer said, Let's talk about this deal that was struck in Congress, the supplemental funding bill.
18 benchmarks the Iraqis have to hit, but the headline here is no deadline for U.S. troops.
Why do the Democrats cave in?
The Democrats should be standing their ground.
I mean, the American people said very clearly in the last election that they wanted to see a different course in Iraq.
They sent a mandate by putting the Democrats in charge of the Congress.
And it's very clear that George Bush has no intention to compromise.
And what the Democrats need to do is to be strong, stand their ground, and continue.
Why'd they cave in then?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I think that what they what the American people wanted them to do was stand their ground, force this president to start withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Really, Breck Girl, where were all the American people protests?
Where were where were the letters to Congress?
Where were the emails?
Where were the phones?
The phones are being flooded on this immigration bill, Breck Girl, they're not being flooded on uh getting out of Iraq.
This big myth is that the election of 06 was about getting out of Iraq.
Hell, if it were, they wouldn't have to, the Democrats wouldn't have to be spending pork to buy the votes that they did get on their first uh uh bill that had no chance of being some of the one president Bush promised veto.
Uh it's just another myth.
They t they believe it.
Uh uh they they've fallen into the trap of believing that they had a mandate in last year's election.
They didn't run on anything except Bush sucks.
And Bush uh should be hated, and Bush is an idiot.
Uh America's hated around the world because of Bush.
They didn't run on anything, not their claiming it claiming a mandate.
That doesn't exist.
Next question for the Breck girl uh from Mount O'Hour.
There seems to be a bit of a growing PR problem in your campaign, and it's this idea of two Americas, a haves and a have nots, and a candidate who's clearly a have, who has uh multimillion dollar residences, worked as an advisor to a hedge fund, received about a half million dollars in payments, uh 55 grand from a public university for sharing ideas on poverty, the haircut we've all heard about.
Uh how, uh, Senator Edwards, are are you going to change this perception that you aren't just a rich guy talking about poverty?
Matt, I am a half.
There's no doubt about that.
I mean, it's not where I come from.
I come from being a have not, but I've been lucky in my life, and I'm a have now.
And if you look at what I've spent my life doing just since the last election, I mean, I've helped raise the minimum wage in six states, helped organize workers into unions all over this country, started a college program for kids who otherwise couldn't go to college.
I've been all over the world doing humanitarian movements.
You say you can relate.
Oh, I don't think there's any doubt about that.
Okay.
Uh the fact the San Francisco Chronicle has another story on this today about and they chronicle all of these things that Matt Wauer threw up there at the uh at the Breck Girl.
Uh what he has to focus on here for him is winning Iowa.
If he if if he didn't come out of Iowa winning it or being very strong, it's deep, deep doo-doo.
Chicago Tribune today, actually, this is a a Baltimore Sun uh story.
Americans will be choosing change in 2008 if a group of Maryland voters is any indication.
Whether the next president will be a Democrat's another question, though.
Senator Barack Obama drew the most positive.
Oh, Barack Obama's wife, Michelle has quit that company.
She's quit the board of that company that sells food to Walmart.
Buckling the pressure.
She got out of there.
She high-tailed it, folks.
Not gonna no longer gonna sit on the board.
It's uh it's pickles and and uh beets or some such thing that they make, and they sell a Walmart.
The pickle company, she's quit.
She's resigned the board.
I gotta have any phony baloney plastic but had a good time rock and roller stuff in the Obama household.
They're not gonna allow themselves to be Edwards.
Uh, you know the words.
Anyway, Senator Obama drew the most positive responses in this.
It's a focus group on the Democrat candidate, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton came in for rough treatment during the first in a national series of focus group discussions, sponsored by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
That that who would that be?
Kathleen uh James is her name.
I well, I don't know.
I think she's there.
But when the voters were asked who would be the safest choice to lead the country, nearly all the people in the focus group, including Democrats and independents, picked Republicans.
Rudolph Giuliani, John McCain, or Mitt Romney.
Only two people in the focus group chose Democrats, Obama and the Breck Girl.
Nobody mentioned Clinton.
Can you say ouch?
When asked who would be the safest choice, a bunch of Democrats to lead America.
Focus group of all party affiliates, uh, affiliations picked the uh GOP candidate.
There were five Democrats, four Republicans, and three independents uh in uh in this group.
And uh this this cannot look it's anecdotal.
It's uh they try to get a cross section of people in this focus group to be somewhat uh representative, but um you have to take it for what it is.
Uh when you've got that many Democrats in the focus group and are naming Republicans when it comes to being safe.
You know what this means to me.
I have I have told you people the Democrats are slitting their throats.
I don't know if it's gonna be in 08, but they are preparing their sowing the seeds for a massive landslide defeat.
You cannot actively eagerly appear to want your country to lose.
You can't, and they've in fact want to.
They've been out there saying we have lost.
Dingy Harry's said as much.
Uh, and you can't constantly rip the troops, and you can't constantly talk about taking money away from them and pulling them out of there before.
The American people do not want to lose.
They don't want America to lose.
They don't want the troops to be underfunded, and the Democrats think just the odd thing.
I think their mandate from the 06 election is just that.
Uh and they're blowing it big time.
Here's the uh here's this the story about Michelle Obama uh has resigned from the board of that pickle food supplier for Walmart stores, uh, been a target of criticism there for Obama.
Because uh Obama's been out there ripping Walmart and the news leaked that his wife worked at a board of a company that sold pickles to Walmart.
Uh Michelle Obama cited the increased demands of his campaign for all the f what was that babe's name at Salon?
Deborah Dickerson.
She's gonna she can be fulminating all over again.
She's already upset that Michelle Obama quit the hospital gig to become official hostess and wife and a basically a subordinate for his presidential campaign.
Now she gives up the position on the board of the pickle company.
Uh because of the demands of his campaign.
So the his her husband's demands have led her to give up.
Yeah, be you know, board board work is pretty cushy.
Uh you show up anywhere from two to four times a year.
Your expenses getting to and from it are paid, uh, and the pay can be anywhere from 45 to 100 grand, depending on the company and the board.
I think it was 50, yeah, the I think it was 53 that she was making on the board, so she's she's making 217 or 230 at the pickle company.
Uh you add the 53, well, just 260 grand now not coming into the Obama household.
Uh well, maybe not, she hasn't maybe hasn't lost all that 200 grand plus from the pickle company because she's still on a consultant there.
Uh her position uh uh on the board of the pickle company had raised questions uh because uh Obama, her husband had uh praised a union-led effort to change working conditions at Walmart, which again begs the question if we can have all kinds of unskilled, uneducated, and cheap labor in agriculture and other businesses where it's the illegal aliens doing it.
Well, then why what's wrong with non-unionized work at Walmart?
Just another illustration of the political nature of this so-called immigration business.
Uh, Treehouse Foods is the name of the pickle company.
Uh, and they said in a security and exchange commission filing that uh the resignation of Michelle Obama from the position she has held since 2005 was not due to any disagreement uh with the company.
So yet $51,200 in fees from the company last year.
Now missing from the Obama household bank accounts dinner table.
What happened?
Hey, we're back.
The uh the jump in U.S. gasoline prices this year has so far cost consumers an extra twenty billion dollars or about one hundred forty-six dollars for each passenger car in the country, according to the government accountability office.
In congressional testimony yesterday, that's also known as a GAO.
The national place uh price for regular unleaded gasoline hit a record three dollars twenty-two cents a gallon this week, and is up a buck five since the beginning of February, according to the energy department, the added expense.
Now, listen to this.
The added expense is taking money away from consumers to spend on other goods and services.
Yes, it is.
Spending billions more on gasoline constrains consumers' budgets, leaving less money available for other purchases.
Why don't you people think this about tax cuts for crying out loud?
If you want to cut prices on gasoline, cut the taxes.
The state, the city, the feds, whatever else.
What it adds up to sixty cents a gallon, and there's it's all profit.
I've we've been through this I don't know how many times.
You got Mrs. Clinton out there saying, Well, we need to invest in Exxon Mobile.
We we want them to uh she said something about I can't find exactly it was on Monday.
Something about doing something to increase the supply, lowering the price.
I forgot forget what it was.
I'm sitting there if you are big oil and you are a global concern, your market is the world.
Why in the world would you invest heavily in the I think this was about refineries?
Somebody we need to be building more refineries.
Who's standing in the way of building more refineries?
Environmentalist wacos and who are they aligned with?
They're aligned with the Democrats and the left.
But if you're big oil, why would you why would you even consider investing gazillions of dollars in a country that's trying to ban your product?
Somebody needs to ask that question besides me.
Here's John in Yuma, Arizona.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Great to have you with us.
Hey, Gres.
Great to talk to you again.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, I uh I wanted to I need to disagree with you a little bit about this Iraq.
War is always a risk when uh callers uh try to disagree with me, but I appreciate the confidence that uh you bring to this, so go ahead.
This Iraq war funding bill.
Uh I don't believe that the Democrats uh caved on the timetables for withdrawal at all.
I believe that was the plan all along.
And um one of the reasons they the only reason they really did that put that in there in the first place was to pander to their base.
Um they they knew it would never go through, and uh it would take the the uh emphasis off of the fact that they've put a uh minimum wage hike in the bill.
Uh I can understand your thinking on this, that the Democrats knew all along that they never had a chance of withdrawing the troops out of there, and this was just a sneaky backdoor way to get the minimum wage increase in.
Absolutely.
Well, it's it's it's a nice try.
It's a nice try, but this was not about getting a minimum wage bill signed by President Bush.
I just have to tell you, they you they won the election, they came out, they think they've got this big mandate to get us out.
They tried and tried and tried, and they couldn't get it done.
And they, in the process, you know, this is something that we all should learn from.
If you if you're gonna go out and you're gonna kill the king, and that's what they were trying to do here was kill Bush.
They wanted Bush to essentially surrender and give defeat to the country so that he would be blamed for it.
If you set out to kill the king like this, you better succeed, because they got their supporters all revved up.
Their supporters believed that they intended to get the troops out.
That's the only thing their supporters came up.
Minimum wage, it's hunky dory, and that's not a big deal to their supporters.
It's down the priority list.
Getting the troops out, ending the war, that's what their fringe kook base is all about, and they have been hung out to dry here.
And if you go read what these people are writing, it's hilarious.
They are fit to be tied.
And they think their party's been snookered again by Rove.
They think in large numbers that Bush and Rove purposely threw the elections of 2006 by not stealing them.
Still kid.
We decided we Republicans, so we weren't going to steal the election.
Just think they believe it.
They believe it.
I'm telling you, they're fit to be tied out there, and they're not going to be mollified by uh the minimum wage bill.
Mike.
But Republicans support that anyway.
I mean, that's that's that was gonna happen somewhere down the line.
That's not a big achievement.
Mike in northern Wisconsin somewhere, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hey Rush, how's it going?
Fine, sir.
Uh I uh I drive a tanker up here, a gas tanker.
And I'm not gonna tell you who I drive for.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, time out, time out, tell me.
I want to hear what you're driving the tanker?
Yes, I am right now.
I'm going to get another load of that precious liquid gold.
Yes.
Uh anyway, I what I wanted to say was I just delivered in a store here, and the line they were lined up at two stations, one at that and one across the street.
The prices, let's for granted, let's say they're just high.
Okay, whatever.
Right.
I can we can't keep gas in the ground, people are buying it as fast as we we can put it in the ground.
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I'm just telling you, it doesn't seem if it if the world is going to, you know, wearing a handbasket and everything's gone bad.
People seem to be buying gas and going on vacations up here and we know this is true.
We know that uh your your little story here is anecdotal, but we know it's true.
There have been surveys.
Something came out yesterday that the driving went down for a while, a percentage on a percentage basis from a previous year.
But uh from what you're describing, I mean, you uh people waiting in line for your truck to show up to refuel the tanks at the state at the station.
There was people there and waiting, and I pulled in and I had to I had to block in the road just so I could get in to unload this thing.
And we we ran all weekend.
Uh we had trucks out all week running.
Now, if the economy's so bad, how come people keep buying all this gas and have their motorcycles in their motor homes and somebody's gonna get some money somewhere putting this gas in their tank.
You gotta, you're you're you are really shrewd.
I I have to I have to tell you, and plus you have uh the benefit of being an eyewitness to this.
What with the this notion the economy is in bad shape and that people are fretting over gasoline prices is simply manufactured news.
It's manufactured news in the Democrat Party, and they're and they're they're trying to compare it to um uh food prices, which it is a necessity.
I mean, you can't, you know, we all have to eat in this country.
But I had somebody ask me the other day, Rush, let me ask you a question.
You once said, and you're right, that you go to the grocery store and a profit markup at a grocery store on basic foodstuffs at one percent.
Grocery stores make their money selling the stuff at the checkout counter and the magazines and the candy and all this sort of stuff and the other the mops and the spick and span, whatever's in there.
Uh, but on basic foodstuffs, you know, profit margin is one percent because people have to eat.
He said, Well, why doesn't big oil look at it that way?
People have to drive to get to the grocery store to eat.
I said, Well, both prices, both profit markups, both both uh businesses are constrained by the market forces in which they operate.
Uh and and uh people do need gasoline, and that's why they're driving.
Uh they're they're not gonna slow down, and they're not gonna stop going to work, and they're not gonna get on the light rail train.
I we they have that some of the ugliest light rail trains I have ever seen in my life, right down here in West Palm Beach.
I don't go over there much, but sometimes I have to to get to the airport.
And I once saw you get stopped sometime when I'm coming in late from a flight getting home uh the midnight or one o'clock, that seems to be when these things are moving, and nobody's on it.
Well, wait, no, that's the freight trains.
Take it back.
These are the transit, the rush hour little all-day-long light train.
And they painted, they're supposed to be painted to look like Florida blue with the palm trees.
It don't look like that.
Uh they they they look what I would uh Ugly.
They look like they're unfinished.
It looks like they bought used train cars and haven't done anything to them.
But the thing I notice, they're always empty.
They're always I scour, I look in the windows.
You might see one or two people on a three-car train.
They're empty.
People don't want to get on these things.
Uh and they don't want to get on buses.
Not not outside of New York, where this is uh standard form of transportation, cabs and buses and subways and so forth, but uh around the rest of the country, they want to drive their cars and they're going to, and they're gonna pay whatever it costs.
We'll be back.
And they might complain, but they'll pay it.
A man, a living legend, a way of life, and utilizing talent on loan from a god with have my brain tied behind my back.
800 282-288-2, if you want to be on the program.
I just got a fascinating email.
Rush, I heard you in the last hour say that your cat, uh your vet thinks that your cat pumpkin may have gotten sick because she ate some flowers.
Now look, Rush, you're a single guy.
You live alone in your testosterone compound, it says here.
What are you doing with flowers in your house?
Where is it written that I, as a man living alone cannot have flowers in my house?
I have orchids in the house all the time.
I have scented candles all over the place.
I love those things.
I get a Joe Malone can't grapefruit and orange blossom.
They're all over the place.
I well I love the scents.
S C E N T S, for those of you in Rio Linda, the smells uh emanated or emanating from these things.
Like the colors.
Somebody put roses in there.
All the every every day, every day.
I that well, I'm and and the orchids are there, even when I'm not there.
I mean, I I'm not don't have this done every day when I'm not there.
Uh and this is the first time if if if pumpkin got anything, it was the lilies.
Uh because when I I saw when I when I got in from California, a couple of lilies, I have a little niche off of the front door, and a couple of the of the um what are lily petals, I guess, had fallen on the floor.
Uh, and if she had gone around, sniffed around those things and and chewed on one, that could be the source of the bladder inflammation.
So I took the lilies out of there, but they're the only thing, and they're in there all the time.
I mean, the idea that I would go out not have flowers in the house, only do it on special occasions.
I like them.
What the hell.
What can I tell you people?
I'm just a sensitive guy.
Get used to it.
I don't I don't You don't sound humble enough, Rush, to be a man of flowers and sense and so you have you people have no clue.
But you do now because I have told you.
Here's Steve in Chicago, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Longtime listener and uh great admirer of yours.
Thank you very much, sir.
Rush, uh, I'll tell you the reason I'm calling is uh first of all, you know, I'm glad to see that you've come around on this immigration issue.
Uh it's been it's been a major issue for conservatives around the country for the last several years.
And you know, uh uh I have uh maybe I came around on it, but it's been years ago.
I'm the one who said a couple years ago that if the Republicans don't get their uh acting gear on this, that they're gonna lose the election in November of 06.
And I said it's gonna be largely because of this.
Well, I think you're right.
Well, however, I think that uh you're you're not being totally honest with with your listeners as to the source of the problem.
And I think the biggest source of the problem is Bush.
Bush has been shilling for amnesty for illegals since before 2000.
Look.
I have said this before too.
Let me take cigar out of one mouth.
When when the Bush administration first proposed the plan that has become what this is some years ago, I cannot mention any names, but within two days, an emissary from the White House was dispatched to my home to try to get my rine mind right on this.
At breakfast, and it featured a phone call from the president afterwards.
And have you heard me waver on this?
Well, I I I have I have uh uh not made Bush a primary target here.
I think he is because uh Bush is a lame duck.
He's he's not gonna be standing for re-election anymore.
And so, yeah, he's he's it's it's the Bush Kennedy McCain bill.
There's no there's no question about it.
But look at I am a Republican, and I have what what when you when you do you think I did this thing on the elites yesterday?
You think I was not talking about all Republican elites looking down and thinking we don't understand this, we gotta be taught how this is right.
I I ripped my own party to shreds yesterday on this, so much so the Washington Times quoted it in their news story on it today.
You know, I I think this immigration issue is greater than party affiliation.
But that's the point.
But you m you must understand my perspective.
This is clearly an effort desired primarily by Democrats politically.
And I talked about the white why Bush Bush.
I don't know this.
I think Bush's view on this is not really political.
I think some may think in the White House this is a way to get Republican votes.
I know that Republicans in the Senate think it is, and maybe some Republicans in the House.
But I think Bush uh he's a man of faith.
I think I think he views himself as helping the downtrodden step up in life.
I I uh I don't know that.
It's just a wild guess.
But my focus on this, if you if you you if you think it's a bipartisan issue, it is, but the Democrats are the ones that stand to gain by this, and it is they who are doing everything they can to destroy the traditions and institutions that have made this country great and then rebuild the country in their own image.
And what frustrates me is the Republicans have no knowledge, they have no ability to see that this is what they're party to.
You know, uh I think part of the problem is that you're correct in what you're saying, but someone should maybe explain to Bush that in fact this is what's going on.
He knows he's not gonna change his mind on this.
Well, the fact is then that uh the Republican Party will go down with Bush.
Because, you know, I myself am an immigrant rush, and I want to tell you when when we came here, not only did we have to have a sponsor, we had to have someone that would sign an agreement that they would financially support us if we were unable to support ourselves.
And you know, when I I came here, I I went to second grade, there was no bilingual education, it was sink or swim, I had to learn English and assimilate.
And when you've got millions and millions of third world uneducated.
I understand all this.
You know, you you you you how d I don't I'm surprised that you even know I've come around because you're you're saying things to me that that uh as though you don't think I know them.
And I've been talking about it for the past week intensely on on the very subjects that you were raising.
I I do think that you understand the issues that you appreciate that.
I don't think that the importance of the issue has been highlighted enough, and it's been an important issue for quite a long time.
I mean, I I think our country's going down the drain uh from a and you mean we can talk about wages, we can talk about in stunned amazement because I've at the same time you're telling me we're not hitting this hard enough.
I got people on my own staff and in my email.
So when you drop it and get on to other things, I'm tired of hearing about it.
Yep.
You know what?
Your staff may be saying that, but people out here are not saying that.
No, some email some people are, but I don't follow all this.
I mean, I don't I don't I don't uh put this program together based on anecdotal uh emails or comments from the staff.
I always follow my own instincts on it.
But you can, you've got to be careful.
You can you can you can stay too long on some anything and you'll you'll you'll run people's emotional reservoir dry.
Uh they just won't want to hear it.
It's impossible for people to stay angry and revved up and passionate about something for years.
And you have to be very careful about this.
Uh and there are other things happening at the same time.
But I w trust me, be confident.
Uh the things that are bothering you, I'm on it.
And I've been on it intensely here for a week ever since this bill.
Uh ever since they came out and said, we hey, we got a deal, we negotiated it in private, which was last week, uh have been have been hitting it hard, and for many, many years prior to that.
I think what you're really getting at is you want me to hammer Bush.
You want me to that's what this is really on.
That's the play.
You're you're you're you really want me to do that.
And uh uh you know, I'm I'm not hammering anybody by name in this other than McCain, people putting their names on this thing, and the Democrats.
Um, but uh because Bush is a lame duck.
I mean, there's there's there's there's it doesn't and he's not gonna change his mind on this.
He's as he's as he's as committed to this as he is in the war on terror.
So you deal with it in other ways.
But I I I resent this notion from people that I will no longer have credibility, or I can't have credibility if I won't attack my own president.
Ask him if I haven't attacked.
I mean, he I have.
I'm back to thinking there's going to be a requirement on this program.
If you call, you have to listen three hours every day, five days a week.
Otherwise, otherwise, yes, Mr. Snodley, I'm thinking of putting that requirement out there.
And pictures for the women.
Well, that if I compromise you just kidding about that.
Well, the Brett girl went to the uh Council on Foreign Relations today to make a big speech.
I knew he was going to do this.
Uh we we uh had a story about two or three weeks ago from the Bret Girl in which he first uh sent this phrase out, this thought out as a trial balloon, but he uh before the Council on Foreign Relations, he repudiated the notion that there even is a global war on terror.
He said global war on terror is an ideological doctrine advanced by the Bush administration that has strained American military resources and emboldened terrorists.
In a defense policy speech at the CFR, the Bret girl called the war on terror a bumper sticker slogan that Bush had used to justify everything from abuses at Abu Ghrab to the invasion of Iraq.
Uh this is dangerous, folks.
It leads me to something that uh we were as talking, Snurley and I were talking about this at the uh last top of the hour break.
This is this is first place.
I have never, I don't care what other people say who I have never thought this guy is particularly bright.
You know, he he may be able to dazzle a jury by channeling the thoughts of a dead baby, and he may be able to reach in there and tug their heartstrings and get them to award sixty million dollars or whatever to a client of his.
But I've never thought that he's the brightest bulb in the room.
I've never thought the elevator went to the top floor.
I've I've always thought he was a happy meal, you know, order a French fry short of a happy meal.
I've really I've just this this confirms it.
This is this is stupid.
The Council on Foreign Relations, I mean, they got some blockheads in there, and they got some some some some pure libs, but they are not some of them are not this stupid to run out and say that the global war on terror is nothing more than a bumper sticker slogan that Bush used to justify abuses.
Does he really think that this president wants to go around abusing people?
After all that Bush has put himself through this book, you really think this is just about something other than national security and the invasion of Iraq.
This is this kind of comment, by the way, is exactly what Bob Carey was writing about in Opinion Journal yesterday.
Uh this is this is dangerous stuff.
And I'll tell you, folks, let's move forward to 2008.
And let's assume the Democrats win the White House.
If this actually represents their belief system, if there is no war on terror, and if Iraq was totally unnecessary, and if all this administration existed to do was to engage in torture of innocent downtrodden Islamo fascists, then we are in deep doo-doo.
Because I don't know if you've noticed or not, Nancy Pelosi goes to Syria, and the opposition movement in Syria has just been wiped out.
I mean, they're they're they're they've been under her visit giving the imprimatur of U.S. can uh con uh uh the United States condoning uh what Basher Assad is doing when we don't.
It's not our official policy.
She goes over there and does this.
They've just had the rug cut out from underneath them.
They're the the the The situation at Tripoli in Lebanon, which we haven't talked about, let me tell you something.
And the situation with Hamas and the Palestinians, the Arab world does not want peace between the Palestinians and Arabs, or uh the Israelis, because that conflict allows the Arabs, the leaders to tell their populations how rotten the Jews are and how bad America is, and that they're fomenting on it.
The last thing they want is peace.
They're the obstacles to it.
And you've got you've got the mullahs and Ahmadinejad in Iran who are thumbing their nose at the world and everybody on uranium enrichment every day, with repeated threats to wipe Israel off the map.
You've got the religion of peace, militant Islam running around conducting terror attacks all over the world.
And they are involved in what's going on in Darfur, where Senator Biden's so eager to get us to go in there and stop the genocide.
It is a powder keg and it's ready to blow.
And if it blows over there, we're gonna have to go in somewhere.
I don't care what anybody thinks about this, if something blows up over there, and it's it's a it's the the fuse is lit.
And you put somebody in the White House who actually thinks what John Edwards said today at the Council on Foreign Relations.
You're gonna just encourage that powder keg over there.
You're gonna the Iranians are hellbent on controlling that region, including Saudi Arabia.
And that's why we're gonna have to go in there.
Not because of our love of the Saudis, and not because of our love of the United Arab Emirates, where you'll find Dubai, love saying that word.
We're gonna have to go in there to make sure the oil fields in that region do not come totally on the under the control of militant radical Islamists like Ahmadinejad and bin Laden disciples and so forth.
If the Democrats win the presidency in 08, and whoever it is believes the same thing Edwards is saying here today.
Within what would you think?
Five years?
Five years, what everybody's been saying is going to happen in that region is gonna happen, it's gonna go blow, it's gonna go sky high.
Because the Iranians, somebody is gonna get the impression if these guys win that we're not gonna stop them.
There's no global war on terror.
Bush all he wants to do is torture people.
The uh, and believe me, the Iranians tried to engineer as best they could.
The Democrats are supporting Democrats in the last election, so were Al Qaeda types, Al Zawahiri.
Uh they know full well what they're getting in the Democrats, and they know full well what they're getting when they get Democrats and their buddies in the drive-by media.
They're getting a bunch of isolationists, they're getting a bunch of people who don't think that there's any problem over there other than that problem created by Bush.
And once we get Bush out of the equation, it's gonna be peace and light.
And they're just waiting for that because they'll fall for the notion that we won't do anything, and we will have to do something.
I don't care who's in the white, we will have to do something, and it will dwarf what's happening in Iraq.
And if they just get behind this whole effort to try to win in Iraq and establish something over there that could uh uh serve some purpose in perhaps putting out this fuse that's been lit.
But and and do you realize what unity in this country on this whole thing would do to that part of the world?
If the Democrats and the media would just either shut up or put on their proper patriotism hats and understand that this is in the best interest and the national security interest of the United States, do you realize what unity in our media every day, unity from Capitol Hill, Democrats and Republicans would do to that situation?
You you think that that situation is not effervescing and bubbling up over there faster than it would be were it not for the rift in this country?
The Democrats and the media are enabling all this hatred for America because they're spewing it themselves.
All this hatred and lack of respect for Bush, they are spewing it themselves, so they give cuffer to the Ahmadinejads of the world and all the other radicals, the Bosher Assads.
Take your pick.
So mark my words, Democrats win, they're gonna be hell to pay.
And if you don't like the war we're in now, get ready, because this'll look like a sandbox skirmish.
Fastest three hours in media.
Just got two hours done and in the can on the way over to the museum.
