I just read I just read the New York Times story, not the editorial, the story.
On President Bush's speech yesterday.
The drive-by is a-going bat guano, folks.
In this New York Times piece, they don't even refer to it as Al Qaeda.
They call it Mr. Bin Laden's group.
They can't.
Mr. Bin Laden's group, greetings, and welcome back.
Great to have you here on the EIB network, Rush Limbaugh from the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I want to go back and play one of these sound bites from Senator Kerry yesterday after President Bush's speech on uh on Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Here's and we got two from Senator Kennedy after this one.
The President is picking the wrong rationale for this war.
And he's also setting up a phony argument about what it is uh that we have to continue to do in Iraq.
Uh we are not in Iraq because Al Qaeda is the principal threat in Iraq.
There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq, as the President pointed out beforehand.
And the fact is that Al Qaeda has grown in its strength and in its presence in Iraq because we are there.
So I think it is important for us to realize that uh all of us are committed to destroying Al Qaeda.
But Al Qaeda is not going to be ultimately destroyed in Iraq unless the Iraqis themselves join in this fight.
And Al Qaeda is not the principal killer.
Stop the tape.
Stop the who says that.
Where does that come from?
The only re only way Al Qaeda and Iraq can be defeated is if the Iraqis join us.
We're not capable of doing it ourselves.
You know, uh how do we know which side John Kerry is on in this war, folks?
In the last war, Vietnam, he was uh he was with the enemy, he met with them.
Uh he lied for them before a uh a Senate committee, and now here we have uh Senator Kerry downplaying the enemy's role in slaughtering Iraqis and downplaying their danger.
We're the problem.
Once again, so what whose side is he on here?
He's being very consistent, ladies and gentlemen.
I'll tell you something else.
This this is absolutely hilarious.
Mr. Bin Laden's group is how the New York Times refers to Al Qaeda.
Why don't they just say, Osama bin Laden D Afghanistan?
Mr. Bin Laden's group, Osama bin Laden, D Afghanistan.
Democrat Afghanistan.
Like Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
Uh here is uh here's Senator Kennedy.
He was on a situation room with Wolf Blitzer, and uh uh Wolf played the audio from the president, said we've already seen how Al Qaeda used a failed state thousands of miles from our shores to bring death and destruction to the streets of our cities, and we must not allow them to do it so again.
So however difficult the fight is in Iraq, we must win it and we can win it.
Uh Wolf says to Senator Kennedy, all right, Senator, what do you say to the president?
Of course, you can't confuse uh the facts like the president is attempting uh to do.
Um John Adams said uh uh facts are difficult things, meaning we have to deal with the facts, and the facts remain that the national intelligence estimate says Al Qaeda is stronger because of our presence.
The National Intelligence Estimate says that the surge is not working, and the national and also the uh other reports, the Baker Hamilton uh suggests that the Rockies will only make the judgment decision about their own future when they believe that we are going to uh uh withdraw it.
On on whose side is Senator Kennedy.
I uh folks, I'm telling you, these people are treating this not as a U.S. national security issue.
They're arguing with President Bush about that.
They are trying to convince us that this is just a standard normal political issue like uh social security reform or uh or whatever.
Blitzer then says, you know, there's a lot of frustration among Democrats and others.
You've been in power now for almost a year in the House and Senate.
Not quite Wolf.
We're not even to eight months yet now.
It's uh it it's seven months, and you haven't been able to effectively change that policy in Iraq.
What do you say to those Democrats who are angry at you?
They uh should understand the history.
Uh I was here against uh the Vietnam War from 1967 on.
We didn't conclude it until 19, really a 1973.
We thought we did in 1968, didn't we?
We had a Democratic president uh nominee that said we're gonna end the war, and a Republican that said he had a plan to end the war and still it it it went on.
Uh I I regret that.
And I fought to try to bring an early end to the war.
I fought to bring an end to the Contra War.
That lasted too long.
That lasted five years.
This isn't going to last that long.
But until we get the American people there that are really going to shake the doors here in the Capitol and shake those Republican doors, it isn't going to happen.
But I'm going to be there every step of the way, urging struggling, working with my colleagues to get that job done.
Well, just a second.
What did he say here?
Uh, until we get the American people, they're really going to shake the doors here in the Capitol and shake those Republican doors in.
I I I thought I thought the massive, a majority public opinion was get out of a rock.
I thought they had the American people on this.
I thought the American people elected them on this basis.
You see what a bunch of phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and rollers these are.
They are trying to convince everybody of what they believe.
It's not that they are reacting to uh to what people believe.
Uh here's a story.
This is uh in the Financial Times.
General Electric will today try to burnish its environmental credentials with the launch of the first U.S. credit card aimed at encouraging consumers to curb polluting activities.
The move is part of GE's plan to have 20 billion dollars in green sales by 2010.
It comes as a number of financial institutions look to tap into U.S. citizens' increased awareness of climate change.
Bank of America, the second largest U.S. bank, plans to introduce a similar card this year, along with their bank of amigo uh card for illegal immigrants.
The card would offer carbon offsets, credits bought by a companies and individuals to cancel out the negative effects of their activities on the climate.
Boy, what a scam.
What an absolute scam.
Now you uh people ask me, Rush, how how is how's this how is this scam being perpetrated?
Why is it that major American corporations like GE here are trying to get in on this?
Folks, they recognize it as a marketing opportunity.
I mean, and and they they think they are reacting.
See, they believe that the mass or the majority of the American people, the majority of you think that there is man-made global warming.
And they're they they are they are scared to death.
Well, the one thing a company, other than a news business, will not do is alienate customers.
They just won't do it.
If the customers think the sky is black, in the middle of the day, they'll find a way to market products to those people.
Uh it it's they're just not gonna alienate.
As I said, the news business, the only business takes pride in alienating its customers.
There is a great, great column today in the Washington Post, and it is by uh one of our old buddies here, Robert Samuelson.
It's called Prius Politics.
My younger son calls the Toyota Prius a hippie car, writes Mr. Samuelson, and he has a point.
Not that Prius drivers are hippies.
Toyota says that typical buyers are 54.
They have incomes of 99,800.
81% of Prius buyers are college graduates, but like hippies.
They're making a loud lifestyle statement.
We're saving the planet.
What are you doing?
This helps explain why the Prius so outsells the rival Honda Civic hybrid.
Both have similar base prices, about 22 grand, similar fuel economy.
But Prius sales in the first half of 2007 totaled 94,000, nearly equal to all of 2006.
Civic sales, the Honda Civic sales, only 17,000, which is up a little bit from their sales figures in 2006.
The Prius advantage is its distinct design that pronounces its owners as environmentally virtuous.
It's a fashion statement.
It's like if I might add, it's like wearing one of those awareness ribbons.
Meanwhile, the civic hybrid can't be distinguished from the polluting gas-guzzing uh guzzling mob of cars.
The Prius writes Mr. Samuelson Is a parable for the broader politics of global warming.
Prius politics is mostly about showing off, not curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
Politicians pander to green constituents who want to feel good about themselves.
Grandiose goals are declared, but measures to achieve them are deferred, or they don't even exist.
But it's respectable make believe.
Schwarzenegger made the covers of Time and Newsweek.
The press laps it up.
Green is the new yellow journalism, says May uh media critic Jack Schaefer.
Naturally there's a bandwagon effect.
At least thirty-five states have climate action plans.
None of this will reduce global greenhouse Gannon gas emissions from the from present levels.
Um it's Prius politic.
Just say your state's gonna cut greenhouse emissions to nineteen ninety levels by twenty twenty.
Uh get an eighty percent reduction below nineteen ninety levels by twenty fifty, but the policies to reach these goals aren't yet formulated.
That task has been left to the California Air Resources Board.
Uh the chances of any of this being accomplished are zero.
It isn't gonna happen.
But your taxes are going to be collected to try to make it happen.
Make no mistake.
The government's support of ethanol is instructive.
In two thousand six, twenty percent of the U.S. corn crop went for ethanol.
The share is rising.
Driven by demand for feed and fuel, corn prices have soared.
With food costs increasing, inflation has worsened a bit.
The problem is mostly an income transfer from consumers to producers and ethanol refiners.
Americans' oil use and greenhouse gases have not declined because of ethanol.
Meanwhile, Prius politics is a delusional exercise in public relations that while not helping the environment might end up hurting the economy.
As like Douglas MacArthur said once, old hippies never die, they just ride around in Prius hybrids.
To sum up, the Prius outsells the Honda Civic 5 to 1.
Same base price, almost the same specs, but the Prius looks like it's something out of the Jetsons.
And the Honda Civic looks like a standard old run of the mill car.
So it's not a status symbol.
The Prius is a status symbol.
Aging hippies who want to tell everybody I care.
What are you doing?
Okay, let's go back to the phones.
Uh people have been waiting quite a while.
Here, Thomas in Jacksonville, Florida.
Thank you for your patience, and welcome to the big program.
Hi, Mr. Limba, how are you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
All right, I was wanting to talk about uh the job on media and all they're doing to encourage fear about global warming, telling me that I gotta get rid of my truck, uh, gotta do this, gotta do that, got a carpool, got to change my light bulbs.
And you know, I was thinking, you know, it's only fair that they uh kind of take the lead in doing all this.
And uh that, you know, I mean, story comes out and they have like twenty different trucks.
Everybody with the same equipment.
Why don't they just carpool, you know, take one van and have five or six reporters crammed in there, you know.
Sacrifice for the planet.
Uh I'm not quite sure I get what you're who who has twenty different trucks?
Uh each one of the different agencies, ABC, NBC.
Oh, the media.
So you're talking about the drive-by.
Yes, sir, I am.
Well, you have to understand now.
I'm I'm surprised.
I'm genuinely surprised at you.
Uh the uh uh drive-by media uh are are great caring liberals.
Uh as liberals, they are exempt from all of the requirements and demands that they would make on you and me.
Their job is too important.
They have to be able to get there as quickly as they can to cover the news.
And they need these big trucks for all of their equipment, and their broadcast tower that pops out of that thing so they can beam the signal back to headquarters so that you can be propagandized by it by watching your television.
Uh drive by media's job way, way too important to be bound by by by these reasons.
They're their fleets are not that big.
The drive by's uh could not alone by going uh in the direction they wish us to go affect the climate at all.
It would take the masses of us doing it while they are exempt.
The uh drive by's uh will n would never not not not uh not uh uh I mean you think you're showing hypocrisy, but they would have an answer for you.
Sophie in Cleveland, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Russ, uh for taking my call.
Yes.
Um I wanted to thank you for uh some inspiration.
I'm a pastry chef and we always need new product to pull from and I think tangerines would be an excellent uh source and in the professional kitchen you use a lot of products so we'd be buying them by the case.
And um the only problem is that on the menu we'd probably have to name it uh we'd have to probably refer to it as citrus because as say with the liberal party if somebody really knew what they were getting they probably wouldn't buy it.
Why don't you just instead of doing that we're gonna create these uh these uh delicious and tasteful uh tasty uh desserts out of tangerines why don't you name it like the um the Elizabeth Edwards tangerine tart.
The uh Elizabeth uh special or the um yeah something like that and you're gonna put the la both names in it Elizabeth Edwards Tangerine Tart Tangerine Pudding what are you gonna make out of these things?
Um probably something not too substantial um because maybe something nice and then make sure you overcharge for it.
Oh most definitely is if they ever come along and sue you you need to be able to buy insurance for your kitchen.
Exactly and I'm kind of opting not to do a creme brulee because using that blowtorch um it could add to the global warming on some level hate to do that.
Exactly you can come up with some very creative uh uh menu names and ideas yeah and it uh go on through the winter and um you know it's very versatile and um like I said um being that due to the volume uh the purchasing by the case and um they would be put to well to use uh in liberal fashion Sophie thanks for the call I appreciate it very crazy people.
Jerry Lansing Michigan you're next here on the EIB network.
Hello.
Right to my point, Rush um you talked earlier that the uh FA, correct, is possibly going to get control through Congress of controlling or regulating uh tobacco, correct?
That's correct, yes.
They're working on that even today as we speak.
Okay.
Well my question then to you is this and then I'll hang up so I can listen to you is um I don't have a problem I mean I I I've used tobacco products.
I'll continue to use them.
I've got no problem with them.
Um but what would be the problem with the FDA regulating what the additives in the cigarettes are such as the other things they put in the tobacco like the ammonias and the different things they can put in the things that they're using to kill their customers.
Well no I'm not saying that what I mean when people buy a tobacco cigarette shouldn't they get like I mean if they're for goodness sakes if they're gonna list all the ingredients you get on pretty much like on food and everything else why aren't all the ingredients listed on a pack of cigarettes?
So that I mean I I smoke a cigarette occasionally myself so don't get me wrong.
I'm not anti-tobacco at all.
But I would wouldn't it be nice for people to know what they're getting.
such a multifaceted answer.
In the first place, he hung up.
Where to start with this?
My starting point is, it breaks my heart, folks.
Every time I get a phone call from somebody who wants to give the government more power.
Number one thinking only the government can protect us.
What is the if if Jerry I know you're still out there you said you'd be out there if you're gonna smoke cigarettes anyway what does it matter?
You got experience smoking cigarettes you were alive enough to call me and talk about it and to say that you're gonna do it again what do you care?
You obviously don't care now what's in these things because you're smoking them so what the hell?
Why give the government all this power?
Number two, the FDA is so bloated and big the the the idea here that you're gonna give them control over an agricultural product like this is going to open the doors to them getting all kinds of control.
Wait till they tell you how much uh trans fat you can have in your kitchen.
We're already there in a lot of places in restaurant kitchens and so forth.
It's just cigarettes are what they are.
Everybody knows it.
The idea that we need to ban further advertising and we need to put bigger warning labels on there is just a bunch of libs who won't leave you alone.
You know when you as an American have freedom and we do, the freedom encompasses a lot of things including the right to do dumb stuff to do destructive things.
Have that right and liberals just for somehow the reason want to just take control of every aspect of your life is possible and every time you a cede letting them have it, or big government, which is primarily run by liberals and these uh agencies and so forth, the career appointments, the bureaucrats and so forth, that's who primarily populates them.
You're just letting them have more and more control over your life.
And there's no, well, what's wrong with them regulating this?
What's wrong with them regulating that?
Where do you stop that?
What what's wrong with people regulating themselves?
Where did that vanish to?
I'll tell you where it vanished.
It vanished with the coming of age of liberalism.
This is people can't live their lives in there because they're too stupid.
It's all about control, Jerry, and I just they have enough control over our lives as is.
Rush Limbaugh with talent on loan from God.
Well, just when we were all feeling better with the revised hurricane forecast of fewer storms, fewer hurricanes, and fewer major storms comes this from uh what is this?
Looks like this is the it's Reuters.
Worst of Atlantic hurricane seasons still to come.
I knew it was too good to be true.
We're all feeling good out there, and then they run this.
Nearly eight weeks have passed since the last tropical storm in the Atlantic Caribbean region faded away.
But banish any notion.
The 2007 hurricane season has been unusually slow.
And beware the coming months, comma, experts say.
The peak of the six-month season, just around the corner.
Forecasters are still predicting a busy one.
Gary Bell or Jerry Bell, hurricane forecaster at NOAA.
There's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary so far.
It's not slow.
It's not fast.
They may be right.
You know, the worst hurricane, second worst hurricane, whatever it was in U.S. history, Hurricane Andrew, was the first hurricane of the season in late August.
That hit Homestead down south of uh Miami.
And everybody that lives down here in South Florida knows the peak of the hurricane season, September 10th.
Runs are about there's a uh it's a there's a peak period in there uh that that that uh it goes from late August like till the middle of October, and September 16th to 20th is the peak based on the statistics of when these things strike.
I only bring all this up because everybody's where are the hurricanes?
Where are the hurricanes?
Why do you think there are any hurricanes?
There should be any hurricanes.
Well, because of the media's out there thing, it's got a worst hurricane season every bit.
Uh it is a little early.
However, even in in the worst hurricane seasons, there have been a few more storms by now.
May not have hit land, but they've been out there than we've had so far.
All right.
Uh I don't know if you're hearing about this, but uh Hillary and Obama are starting to take swipes at each other, ladies and gentlemen.
In fact, uh Obama showed up in New York yesterday at the Time Warner Building, Richard Parsons, the CEO, had about 250 in there to listen to Obama, and apparently they were all dazzled.
It was off the record, so nobody is reporting, even a bunch of journalists in there.
I'm told Barbara Walters fell asleep for a part of it.
Um, but there were a whole bunch of journalists in there, and they haven't leaked much.
The only thing that's been really leaked is that uh he said, I'm the most qualified, I'm the best qualified to lead this country.
Um he also praised George Clooney as a serious individual, very serious man.
So they were there, they're just going raves in there, uh, apparently.
Uh and he's starting to take it.
He and Hillary are starting to take swipes at one another.
Uh yesterday on the campaign trail, uh, Hillary called into the Quad City Times, a newspaper, um, and and referring to uh Obama's comments about meeting with leaders from Iran and Syria and Cuba and North Korea and Venezuela, she says, now this is cell phone quality audio here.
It's only about eleven seconds, but this is what she said about Obama.
I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive to say that uh he would commit to meeting with uh you know Chavez and Castro and others within the first year.
Not to be outdone, Senator Obama, the magic Negro, called into the Quad City Times himself after hearing about Mrs. Clinton's earlier interview, and here's his response to her.
If you want to talk about irresponsibility and naive day, uh, voter authorize George Bush to send our troops into Iraq with that next applause and then asking uh the Pentagon about what the plan is five years later.
Ooh, now this didn't happen during the YouTube debate, but it's uh it's happening even as we speak.
Uh, you know, Barack Obama leads in fundraising.
Uh and uh he apparently now in in focus groups of Democrats who watched the YouTube debate on CNN, he was the uh the big winner.
Uh but there's something to learn, ladies and gentlemen, from this exchange.
Uh and I don't I don't know if uh let's play these two again.
Uh what I want you to do out there, uh uh Ed is play these two back to back.
Because this is ladies and gentlemen, this this is a great demonstration of why you need me hosting this program.
How I can see the stitches on the fastball, how I am able to read between the lines.
I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive to say that uh you would commit the meeting with uh you know Chavez and Castro and others within the first year.
If you want to talk about irresponsibility and naive day, uh voter authorized George Fox to send our troops into Iraq with that next appointment and then asking uh the Pentagon about what the plan is five years later.
All right.
Anybody, now we're not gonna go to calls on this.
I'm just asking the question for you to ponder amongst yourselves out there.
What is it that we can learn?
Something major here.
Uh that we can learn from these two sound bites.
You need it again.
Okay.
Uh Ed, can you play those again?
Are they ready to go again?
Yeah, okay.
One more time uh here, ladies and gentlemen.
Listen very, very carefully here.
I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive to say that uh you would commit the meeting with uh you know Chavez and Castro and others within the first year.
If you want to talk about irresponsibility and naivete, uh, vote to authorize George Bush to send our troops into Iraq with Adnex appointments, and then asking uh the Pentagon about what the plan is five years later.
All right, here's what we can learn from that exchange.
It's very simple.
Hillary Clinton has a better cell phone.
It was so obvious to me, and I knew that this would escape many of your uh your your uh observations.
So I wanted to I wanted to point that out.
There was, you know, yesterday I asked when the big minimum wage uh went up 70 cents first time in ten years, hubba hubba.
I said, where are the parties out there?
Where are the big parties?
Turns out there was a party.
There was a uh minimum wage increase celebration at Upper Senate Park.
Here is Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
This is a day that signals change because people who went to work this morning who went to work every day to provide for their families today will have their work rewarded more fully.
Really?
Okay, and uh Dingy Harry then got in on the act.
We have had a hundred hearings on Iraq, and we're gonna have a hundred more, and we're proud of it.
What's in preparation for us to get our valiant troops to come home?
Valiant troops to come home in defeat.
Our valiant troops to come home waving the white flag.
That was at the minimum wage rally at Upper Senate Park yesterday.
Now there's a piece by Amanda Carter or Carpenter today at Town Hall.com.
On Tuesday, 70% or 70 cent increase uh federal minimum wage went into effect.
Ba-blah blah blah blah to celebrate liberal activists held a rally on Capitol Hill to thank Congressional Democrats for delivering the pay raise and demanded more.
Even when we get to 725, it's not enough.
We have to work hard for more, said Labor leader Anna Berger of the Service Employees International Union.
She was shouting this.
Her calls were echoed by Senator Hillary Clinton Monday evening in the Democrats' third televised presidential debate.
After Berger's shout match, speakers played U2's Beautiful Day as congressional Democrats walked on stage.
There, Democratic and labor leaders exchanged many hugs.
Kennedy said he was willing to raise a minimum wage much higher.
George Miller, Democratic California, we're going to introduce a bill to raise it to $9.70 an hour.
This will protect us and national security, because a nation can't survive without its dignity, said Charlie Wrangle.
Now what's the lesson here?
Aside from the fact that I have a melodious voice.
The difference here, the lesson to learn here is that you can't compromise with these people no matter what you give them.
It isn't enough.
Republicans, conservatives seem to never, ever get this.
Democrats clamoring for the minimum wage increase, so fine.
and Go along with them.
But they never stop.
They never stop.
No matter what you give them, it's not enough.
Liberalism is just a path, ladies and gentlemen, to the dark side.
Back after this.
Hey, we're back.
I had an email.
Email from a friend here listening intently on the discussion about the FDA regulating uh tobacco products.
Friends says, why didn't the FDA focus on such things as food supplies and food imported from China that's tainted and so forth?
Why the political agenda was smoking?
It's as you said, Rush, because you know everything.
Everybody knows about cigarettes already.
If you don't at this point knowing about cigarettes, there's nothing the FDA is going to tell you that you're going to understand.
Because if you're too stupid to understand about cigarettes by now, nothing can make you understand them.
By the way, Disney branded films are going to ban depictions of smoking.
Yeah.
Well, I understand that.
I mean, if you ever, if you go to movies, you know that they depict smoking as cool.
And that will influence the widowed children.
There's no question about it.
But as long as they're going to do that, if they're going to ban depictions of smoking, will they ban depictions of murder, mayhem, rape, terrorism, and other forms of bad health.
I can give you the answer to that.
No.
I'll tell you what the FDA needs to do.
For the simple fact of the matter, the FDA, instead of this political agenda with cigarettes and tobacco and all that, there's a bunch of drugs out there, life-saving drugs.
It takes years and gazillions of dollars to get these damn things approved.
That's what needs to happen at the FDA is that process needs to be sped up.
No question about it at all.
Oh, by the way, have you seen this story?
I'm sure you have.
The uh police across the country should be on a lookout for what could be dry runs for a terrorist attack, according to the Transportation Security Administration, advised local cops this after a series of suspicious incidents occurred at U.S. airports.
In one case last September, a couple in Baltimore checked a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag containing a cell phone charger.
Earlier this month in San Diego, a passenger checked a bag containing two ice packs covered in duct tape.
The ice packs had clay in them instead of the normal blue gel.
So they're out there thinking that uh potential terrorists are out there conducting dry runs.
Now that we all know this can't be true because, I mean, we know that the uh transportation safety security authority, whatever they are, administration.
They have to be overreacting here.
This is the panic that has swept the country.
There is terrorists just a bumper sticker.
There is no war on terror.
There isn't one.
This is just this is just some pranks.
It's nothing more.
Now don't worry about it, folks.
This is another one of these crisis things trying to get you all worried for no reason.
Gail in Chicago.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
I appreciate your intelligence and your insight.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
And this is in regards to the pull-out of Iraq.
I think that is a nation of quitters, and we have never been quitters.
And I don't know why people want to do this so quickly.
Well, the the answer to your question uh laws in the current makeup philosophies and uh general direction of the Democrat Party and the American left who want to lose.
No, they do.
They've already said we have.
They are they want to lose and they want the loss to be saddled around the neck of George W. Bush and a Republicans.
I think that can be touted as treasonable against the president.
Um I don't know about that.
But in practical terms, they are aiding and abetting the enemy as as PR agents in this country.
There's no question.
Uh treasonous or not, I mean a lot of people think that it is, but uh nothing nothing is gonna happen to them on that on that score.
They just need to be taken care of in the next election at the ballot box.
But they they they really are this is all about them personally and their own political agenda, their own political advancement, the acquisition of power.
And I think the people who have said pull out of Iraq, pull out of a rat, are the Democrats who don't really know the true issue.
And they would if they listened to you.
They know it.
This is what everybody, you know, they're not stupid, and they are not ignorant.
They know exactly what they're doing.
They they you use the right word.
They are quitters.
They are quitters.
They want to quit.
They've gotten themselves maneuvered into such a corner here.
They can't politically afford for this to emerge victorious, the country to emerge victorious in Iraq.
They that will destroy them.
That will end them, at least for the next election cycle.
They they can't let that happen.
They can't claim any credit if there's victory.
They're out there saying it's not possible.
They're out there saying they don't want victory.
They're ragging all over our troops are ragging all over our Iraqi allies.
Um you you do.
You wonder whose side they're on here.
They'll claim that you're challenging my patriotism.
I'm challenge your patriotism.
You just you just it is stupid.
You're out there, you're choosing sides, and you're choosing the enemy because you think that'll help you.
I would say to the Democrats and have deuce Jefferson City, Missouri, the state capital.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Yeah, I'm calling in about an article in the paper that said that Senator Clinton, if elected would appoint Bill Clinton the ambassador of goodwill.
That'd be a roving ambassador of goodwill.
Yeah, roving ambassador.
I'm sorry, roaming, roaming ambassador of goodwill, right.
Yeah, and then he would be going around the world to all these women's auxiliaries.
Uh didn't they only uh thing they could say about that uh scandal was that that is his one flaw is that he likes the women.
Uh that people wouldn't hope that they would look at the good things he's done, and you know, well, why would the name of God would you put him in such a position to be going around the women's auxiliaries?
As an ambassador of goodwill, wouldn't it?
Be like Donald Gerald Ford making Betty Ford ambassador of goodwill to cocktail parties in New York.
Well, yeah.
Where did you hear that the assignment deuce was specifically to the women's auxiliary?
Well, isn't that what the first lady does?
Is gonna, you know, she misses with the wife of the uh of the uh president or king or whatever, and uh I hadn't thought of that.
That's right, Hillary's gotta take care of the of the visiting head of state so Clinton gets his wife.
I don't know what first thing he'd do at some of the meetings is he'd tell all the women that they should have daughters and their granddaughters start coming to the meetings.
Yeah, that's that would be his first agenda.
But on a serious side, God forbid if she starts uh appointing positions, doesn't the word suited for or qualified for it even coming the wish you'd have called sooner as I'm out of time.
I can't stop.
Take take it away out there.
Take it away.
Okay, folks, that's it.
See you tomorrow.
And we'll hold out hope for more deuces or more of deuce.
Have a good one, and we'll uh be revved up in 21 hours.
