	And welcome back.
	We are here, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
	And it is Friday.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Final hour underway.
	Telephone number 80082-2882.

	Democrats hold an edge with Hispanics in national elections, but Latino's growing tendency to register as independence and split their vote between the parties is buoying Republican prospects of 2008.
	It's an AP story out there.
	Younger and college educated Hispanics in particular offer fertile ground for the GOP, according to new data.
	And while no one suggests Republicans have become the party of choice.
	Oh, of course, of course not.
	No, why would anybody have a drive by being?
	No one would ever.
	No, of course not.
	No one would ever even think it possible, would they?
	No.
	Well, no one would suggest Republicans have become the party of choice for the nation's fastest growing minority.
	Democrats have been gradually losing ground.
	Democrats began in the 80s to slowly lose Latino registration.
	It's drip, drip, drip, drip.
	Although Hispanics tend to vote Democratic, the percentage of Latinos who call themselves Democrats has declined in the last decade, even as the overall number of Hispanic voters climbed.
	How can this be, folks?
	I mean, this is what this is with immigration bill.
	We're supposed to be sunk.
	Supposed to be finished.
	They're going to be alienating all these people.
	Never ever gonna vote for Republicans again.
	That's what we were all told.
	In California, nearly two of three Hispanic voters registered as Democrats in the mid-90s by 2006.
	The figure dropped from uh 75 or 66%, 56%, according to polling and uh registration data.
	You know, the point is not that the Republican Party needs to pick up a majority.
	Just a few percentage points can upset the whole balance out there.
	It would be the same thing in the uh in the uh minority vote, the black vote.
	You don't have to get the whole thing.
	If the Republicans ever figure out a way to get 20% of it, do you really differences would be stunning?
	And those things I've always thought are extremely possible.
	Um let's see, all charges have been dismissed against two Marines accused in the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha, the Marine Corps announced Thursday.
	Lance Corporal Justin Charat of Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, charged with murdering three brothers.
	Captain Randy Stone, 35 battalion lawyer from Dunkirk, Maryland, charged with failing to adequately report and investigate the uh incident November 19th of 2005.
	In his decision to dismiss the charges, the commanding general with jurisdiction in a case said that he was sympathetic to the challenges the Marines on the ground face in Iraq.
	Where the enemy disregards any attempt to comply with ethical norms of warfare, we exercise discipline and restraint to protect the innocent caught on the battlefield.
	Um, you know, I haven't seen this in the drive-by news cycle.
	Have you seen it in the drive-by cycle?
	I haven't seen this story out there.
	Now I remember when it happened, we had pictures, we had allegations, we had we had see this is this is what the left does.
	The left goes at the new castrati.
	They go out there, see this is the problem, Mither Limbaugh with the U.S. military, and this is the problem with war.
	This is an all-volunteer force either.
	Poor people have no future in this country, and so they join, and it war turns them into murderous barbarians.
	Mithler Limbaugh is no qu this is this is the mantra.
	That's that's one of the many cliches and action lines that the Democrats and the left have.
	So an incident like this gets reported.
	It's true.
	Just like the uh the rape allegations against the lacrosse players at Duke.
	It fits another temple.
	Oh, has to be true.
	Rich white guys taking advantage of poor black woman?
	Yeah, that had to happen.
	Lacrosse players took Absolutely.
	88 members of the faculty write a letter condemning the whole thing.
	Coach gets can.
	None of it was true.
	None of it.
	And complicit in this.
	I mean, Nyphong was the main culprit, but I mean the drive-by is why do you think he was doing what he was doing?
	Curry favor with the drive-by so that he could get his re-election chances up.
	And now this.
	And where's Mertha?
	Where is the heroic ex-marine conscience of the House of Representative Jack Mirth on this?
	Have you seen an apology from Jack Mirth on this?
	I haven't seen Pardon the sniffles, folks.
	I really trying not to uh do that.
	Now the nearly half of the nation's murder victims in 2005 were black.
	The number of uh black men who were slain is on the rise.
	A majority of the black murder victims are relatively young, between 17 and 29, according to the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics.
	Uh they offer a snapshot of racial disparities among violent crime victims.
	Black people represented an estimated 13 percent of the U.S. population in 2005.
	That's the latest data available, but were the victims of 49 percent of all murders and 15 percent of all rapes, assaults, and other non-fatal violent crimes nationwide.
	Most of the black murder victims, 93 percent of them were killed by other black people, the study found, black on black crime, about 85% of white victims were slain by other white people.
	So uh we had a story the other day about uh black women who are more and more frequently not marrying black men.
	And uh I rhetorically asked the question, why would this be happening?
	And I then supplied the obvious answer.
	Well, a pool is uh obviously shrinking because of cultural uh phenomena, such as uh the number of black men in jail, and now you add this to it.
	This is just amazing.
	You know, this is this is uh this is what happens when you surrender, when you ignore obvious problems for the sake of not offending and being politically correct.
	I I would go so far as to say that all of these programs that the left came up with uh to help disadvantaged poor people, disadvantaged minorities, and so forth.
	Using these numbers, I mean you could say stuff has been a death sentence.
	The first thing they did was break up the black family by taking uh the father out of the loop of necessity.
	The federal government and the AFDC checks became the father.
	There was no need for the father to hang around.
	And he didn't.
	Uh this is this is and of course we couldn't we couldn't talk about this.
	I mean, I I can talk about it because we have had black women call this program in uh in anger, making this point.
	Uh so here you have uh a classic illustration.
	You have a problem, you know exactly what it is, you don't dare say it.
	Political correctness.
	If you say it, uh you're gonna get a knock on a door from the Reverend Jacks.
	Hmm.
	And uh right behind it, your back door will be the Reverend Sharpton.
	And nobody wants to put up with that, so the situation uh continues to fester, and at the end of the day, you blame people like Ronald Reagan and George Bush for it, and Republicans in general.
	Conservatives, because they are racists.
	Charlie Wrangle, Jesse Jackson.
	They're more worried about blacks being killed serving in the military than in their own neighborhoods.
	You look at these numbers.
	These numbers are amazing.
	The number and yet all we hear about for the Democrats look at 3,600 troop deaths.
	We've got to bring our boys and girls home.
	Why they're not safe.
	Uh here are these numbers again.
	93% of the black murder victims were killed by other black people, and nearly half of the nation's murder victims in 05 were black.
	You put the two together.
	Uh a majority of the black murder victims, relatively young, between 17 and 29.
	I guess I guess it would be politically incorrect to say gang culture anybody.
	Would be politically correct to say that.
	Um then you go to this thing, the situation in Newark.
	Which, even though the perp there is an illegal immigrant from Honduras, who, by the way, says he didn't do it, but all the perps say they didn't do it.
	You still have a situation there where that town is outraged.
	Newark, New Jersey is outraged.
	What is the number of deaths in Newark this year?
	660.
	Six zero deaths in Newark this year.
	What race do you think the majority of the victims belong to?
	In this article, I've got a story here from the Cityjournal.org written by Stephen Malenga, and it's entitled City Without Fathers.
	And this article states that only 32% of children in Newark, New Jersey, are raised by parents in a two-adult household, and the children in one parent households are three times more likely to be poor and in jail.
	Now, this dovetails with the story from the Justice Department on murder statistics.
	It dovetails with the story earlier this week, black women deciding to marry outside the race.
	And this situation, when you read this story, it's a long story, so it's a long story.
	It's an example of how a story does not fit the drive-by media template or action line of victim and liberal government solutions and fixes.
	Yes.
	Which is why the issue won't get the traction that it should.
	Because you've got you've got mayhem going on in Newark.
	You have 32% of children raised by parents in a two-adult household.
	Uh only 32%.
	After all of these government efforts to solve the problem, to fix it, after blaming Republicans for all of the racism, you don't find a more democrat city than Newark, New Jersey.
	And forever you don't find a more democratic city than Newark, New Jersey.
	And yet the action line is, well, it's a Republican problem.
	And of course, we had to we had to even hide the fact it was an illegal immigrant perp for a while, too, because that doesn't fit the drive-by action line.
	So accurate reporting on this stuff doesn't get done, so people can't squarely face the problem.
	There's no in in Newark, New Jersey, there's no evil monster threatening the downtrodden people in Newark.
	They're doing it to themselves in Newark.
	They're not outside agitators moving in there.
	Newark hadn't been targeted by anybody that doesn't live there.
	The people that live there can stop it themselves, but they're being enabled, soothingly enabled by liberal social policies.
	And these policies allow these these rich white liberals to think themselves heroes without having to live in that environment.
	And this environment their policies have created.
	And these policies feed the overseers of the social welfare system and plantation.
	They operate the bureaucracy.
	And these heroes, the people trying to solve these problems with great, great programs of federal government.
	They provide self-pity to the downtrodden, convincing them their condition is the fault of some evil, be it racism or bigotry or George Bush or Ronald Reagan or Pat Buchanan or whoever.
	And, you know, there's there's no there's no conservative hero coming to rescue these people from their welfare state evils because there aren't any conservatives there.
	So it feeds on itself.
	Loop gets closed over and over again, and the whole thing continues to get smaller and compress, and then it eventually blows up.
	Now within to relieve the pressure.
	So these communities that I they need to wake up and they need to rescue themselves from themselves, and that means electing different people, exhibiting a little bit more responsibility in their own lives.
	But they haven't been taught to do that.
	They've grown up in a big Democrat town where somebody else is supposed to come in and fix the problems.
	Although there's so much outrage over these three murders.
	You hold out hope.
	It might provide some impetus to clean things up.
	Mayor up there is under fire.
	That's uh as it should be too.
	it's an untenable situation.
	And it's another blue city.
	Back in a sec.
	I knew I forgot to do something.
	I forgot to change a channel over there to the PGA championship.
	Started at two o'clock on the uh TNT network.
	Something we were just discussing, uh uh, ladies and gentlemen, John Leo, a column today in the New York Sun.
	And this is just great.
	All you need to hear is first paragraph.
	If anyone ever starts a museum of horrible explanations, the one liner by Evan Thomas of Newsweek about uh his magazine's dubious reporting on the Duke non rape case, his uh explanation was the narrative was right, but the facts were wrong, is destined to become a popular exhibit right up there with we had to destroy the village to save it.
	Oh, by the way, speaking of that, can I go back to this Newark situation?
	Can can we establish once and for all that it doesn't take a village to raise a kid?
	It takes mom and dad.
	This whole notion it takes a village to raise a kid has been put on display in way too many neighborhoods and cities in this country.
	The old Hillary Clinton book, it takes a village.
	Meaning, let us raise your kids.
	You're too incompetent to do it.
	Well, we're finding out that all these bureaucrats, all these programs, the village will not raise your kids.
	It takes you to raise your kids.
	Anyway, yeah, we had to destroy the village to save it.
	Well, Mr. Thomas seems to mean is that the newsroom view of the lacrosse players as privileged sexist and arrogant white male jocks was the correct angle on the story.
	The narrative was right.
	The facts were wrong.
	So this is, you know, they use the word narrative.
	I say template.
	What it really means is their prejudice and bias.
	And so when things come along that fit the prejudice and bias, such as Republicans are racist and bigots and uh and and are heartless and so forth, then you have a situation like Newark, New Jersey, where there's not a Republican to be found.
	Well, then you can't really report the story the way you'd like to.
	You can't say Newark's crumbling because of Republicans or conservatives.
	So what do you do?
	You ignore the story.
	And you you start you start focusing on the illegal immigrant, which you really don't like to do either, because uh, you know, they do their best to hide the fact that illegals are prone to crime in this country.
	Fred in Chicago, I'm glad you called, sir.
	I really appreciate your patience, and welcome to the EIB network.
	Hello, Rush.
	Hi.
	I've uh enjoyed both hours waiting for you, because I got to listen to the uh canned commercials that you have that we don't get over the uh air.
	Uh you're kicking ass and taking names, and I love it.
	Uh something I came across in the news I thought maybe you could shed some light on, and that is the uh ancient eight thousand-year-old prehistoric city that was found at the bottom of the English Channel.
	And apparently that was when Europe was connected to Great Britain or England at the time uh via a landmass, and then lo and behold, the glaciers melted and created the English Channel.
	And I'm just wondering what uh fossil-based fuels or uh uh automobiles or carbon-based emissions uh must have raised the temperature to uh cause the glaciers to melt their and make those poor people go to high ground.
	Brilliant, brilliant observation on your part, uh Fred, and I happen to be holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers that very story.
	Stone Age settlement found under English Channel, erosion on the floor of the English Channel is revealing the remains of a busy Stone Age settlement from a time when Europe and Britain were still linked by land, a team of archaeologists says.
	The uh site which is just off the Isle of White dates back eight thousand years, quote, not long before melting glaciers filled in the channel and likely drove the settlement's last occupants north to higher ground, where they invented scotch.
	Uh like I said, how could that have happened?
	There was a lot of things.
	Well, that's that's a great, great question.
	How how could this have happened?
	Without man-made global warming, and man is warming the planet.
	How could this have happen?
	How what caused those glaciers to melt?
	I think you uh once referred to uh their theory of mastodon gaseous emissions.
	Have they come up with anything new?
	That was several years ago.
	No, they have not come.
	No, in fact, you ignore this.
	Uh they they ignore this.
	What's going on right now appears to be a coordinated attack uh with Newsweek and Al Gore and others on that Newsweek cover story and then the things that Al Gore said in his speech in Singapore, some of the other things that have been in the AP and Reuters uh since the Newsweek piece came out seem to be uh almost word for word.
	There is a coordinated blitz on uh on the pro-global warming types, because they are taking it in the chin right now.
	All right, we're back.
	El Rushbaugh, the all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned, uh, Maha Rushi.
	Uh Hillary Clinton says that her plan is not socialized medicine.
	And she's right.
	It's socialized health care, not just socialized medicine.
	She can't fool me.
	Play little word games.
	How about this?
	The Security Council unanimo UN, United Nations Security Council unanimously approved a resolution today expanding the United Nations role in Iraq in a move aimed at reconciling the country's rival groups, winning support from neighboring countries and tackling Iran Iraq's humanitarian crisis.
	Now setting aside the fact the UN cannot accomplish anything.
	I just want to look at the vote.
	In fact, they probably could sabotage it if they wanted to.
	But why in the world that do you do you realize if you're Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, and you're out there, you know, doing whatever you do on vacation, uh and you get up and you read the UN's expanding its role in Iraq when you've claimed it's a defeat and it's over, so and you've got your Democrat senators over there saying a surge is working, you got Bush's poll numbers rising while Congresses are flatlining and falling.
	What must those people think?
	Reed and Pelosi.
	And what must their Democrat minions think?
	You realize this is not what they expected to happen after they won the elections in uh in November.
	John in Oklahoma City.
	I'm glad you called, sir.
	Great to have you with us.
	Hey Rush, how's it going?
	Fine, sir.
	Uh uh yesterday I had the opportunity for the first time in my adult life to watch uh Patton on TV.
	Um I remember seeing it as a child and my mother not letting me watch it due to the language.
	Uh I got to sit and just be just this eerie feeling coming over me of watching the things that Patton had to deal with uh back in World War II.
	And some of the exact same things uh happening now.
	Now, obviously the movie was I think produced in 70.
	Uh but just it would be nice for General Petraeus to to watch that before he comes back and and I guess gives his report in September and you know, even just to show that over there to the troops that that it was such an incredible mentality on the war, uh there wasn't political correctness.
	Uh and they were they were there to win.
	Um Do you realize what would happen to George Patton were he commanding an army today as he did in World War II?
	Well, it probably would have uh happened what happened to him except for probably a whole lot faster.
	They would have yanked him and pulled him in court-martial.
	He would have never led the third army in Germany.
	He would it would have never gone into Italy, he would have been gone long before that.
	Um if if the drive-by media had been nearly as uh uh well uh if it blanketed uh the country uh as as media today does, uh it we it just Patton would not have been.
	But but you know, but you you talk about about the the similarities uh and their the similarities abound, but they th th this is not the first time such similarities have happened.
	I mean, you go back um to uh World War II, uh prior to World War, go back before World War II, when Hitler starts rattling the cages and so forth.
	There were all kinds of people who want to deal with it, they weren't gonna do with it.
	Uh uh thought was uh just it wasn't our business, Don't need to get involved in it.
	It's uh Hitler's is being exaggerated and so forth and so on.
	Now you've got Ach Madinizad in Iran, who's very blatantly openly promising what he intends to do.
	And unlike Hitler, he's got the uh he's got the propulsion of a uh fervent belief in a militant religion behind him.
	Uh and these guys being very open and honest, and you know what, they're accomplishing a lot of turmoil without even having to launch a military strike anywhere.
	So there there are there are similarities that abound and and it's amazing.
	That's why people say history repeats itself.
	But as far as as far as Petraeus is concerned, don't you don't need to worry about David Petraeus.
	He doesn't need to see patent, he doesn't need to show it to anybody.
	He knows exactly what what we face over there, and he's he's turning everything around.
	Uh but I agree.
	I thought it was a uh the the movie Patton was just great.
	I thought it was great.
	The music, everything everything about it.
	Uh George C. Scott was perfect until he went to the Academy Awards to accept the awards, and it all blew up.
	Same thing with Brando.
	And in fact, I think Scott boycotted him one year.
	That's right.
	It was Brando sent the Indian babe up there.
	Uh to get the Oscar.
	Here's Steve in La Costa, California.
	Nice to have you with us, sir, on Open Line Friday.
	Hi, Keith.
	Hey.
	Precise news dittoes from the left coast.
	Thank you, sir.
	We've got the uh most enlightening animal rights video posted on the weblog today, and I'm also following up on some sentiments you expressed a couple months ago about conservatives driving cutting edge technology.
	But apparently the animal rights uh wackos are trying to shut down a rodeo in Texas that features diving mules.
	They do this every year.
	The diving mules is a traveling road show.
	I remember the diving mules.
	I first saw video of the mule diving in um it had to be in the late 80s.
	Yeah, I guess I guess it dates back, you know, they they've done this with different animals, but the AP reporter on this video uh uh interviewed the uh uh Texas rodeo operator, and I thought his explanation was so so wonderful.
	He said the mules are willing to do it.
	They do it freely on their own.
	They like to do it.
	If they didn't, people need to stop and think.
	We need to give the animals a little bit of credit for being intelligent.
	Uh we're talking about mules here.
	Yeah.
	And I but I I think conservatives at large, you know, I mean, we we love the environment, we love animals, and I think we actually give a lot more credence to theories like evolution as far as the dynamics of the environment than than liberals do, who tend to look at things as very static.
	You know, how could a bridge fall?
	No, the liberals look at animals as a as a all of them, every damn one, even the ones that would eat you if you got closer, victims.
	You know, even the predators are victims, they're victims, just like the earth is a victim of our existence, so are animals.
	They look at hopeless, harmless, helpless.
	And uh you you look we s we were watching a YouTube video the other day in here where a bunch of lions was this, I guess this was in Africa.
	A bunch of uh, yeah, because there are any tigers in Africa.
	Lions, a whole pride of lions, was trying to pull water buffalo calf out of this lake.
	And the video was going on and on and on.
	It was just fascinating to watch these lions.
	There was nothing stopping them, there was no human around to stop, it was nature on display, it was animal rights right in front of our eyes.
	And then out of the blue, here came a whole herd of water buffalo to rescue that one calf, and they succeeded, and the lions retreated.
	Uh well, the alligator tried to get yeah, I forgot the alligator tried to get in there and and uh get his portion of the uh water buffalo calf.
	Uh but then all of us, I don't know what happened, but the whole herd found out that something's going on.
	Maybe they did a head count, found out one was missing, bam, came back to hell with the lions to hell with the crocodile, saved their little baby.
	Whole herd of them.
	It was had to be 30 or 40 of them that we saw in the frame, and maybe and maybe more.
	The point is that we think we we don't know half of it about animals and why they do what they do and what uh chalk it up to evolution or what I got for example, this is a little thing that I observe.
	I have, as you know, my little cat pumpkin, and uh put her food into my feed her twice a day, sometimes three if she really hassles me.
	And she never eats it all, what what's left of the bowl, and then she'll with her right front paw start scratching the carpet.
	I said, what is this?
	And I finally figured out she's trying to cover it up to hide it from other animals.
	And I look, I said, Pumpkin, I'm not gonna take your food.
	Nobody here's gonna take your food.
	And there's no dirt anyway.
	If the cat had half a brain, she would see that she's not moving anything and that the food is not covered.
	So what's going on here?
	Well, what's going on?
	It's obviously you could call them evolution or what have you.
	I didn't train her to do this, and I've s every cat does it.
	Well, most every some are too lazy, some have figured it out.
	Uh and she doesn't do it all the time.
	But but but most of the time, yeah, just start scratching the carpet, and you know she's trying to cover up the food with nothing.
	So it's a reflex.
	And I don't pretend to understand.
	I figure God did it, and I'll find out why some other time.
	As for the diving mules, the rodeo guy says they want to do it.
	I don't know about that.
	I've I've seen video tape of diving mules.
	But you put them on a platform where there's nowhere else to go but down, and then tell everybody that they want to do it.
	That's pretty clever.
	But they do do it.
	I mean, they do do it, and they obviously go back up there or they're taken back up there or whatever.
	Look, a mule's a mule.
	If it didn't want to dive, what the guy is saying, if it didn't want to, it wouldn't.
	And they're not going to stand up there and push the thing off with an audience there.
	That's the one that now that they're not stupid enough to do that.
	So these things obviously, who knows how they're being trained to do this.
	Uh who knows what's in the pool or what they've been led to believe is in the pool.
	Uh it is a funny looking thing because it's something you would never see in nature.
	You know, a uh a mule is not going to find a cliff and dive into a lake.
	So they want to do it is is the result of maybe they've been trained to.
	We'll be back here in just a second.
	Ha!
	Welcome back.
	Rush Limbaugh, highly trained broadcast specialist.
	Illustrating how it is done.
	We're here on open line Friday at the prestigious distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
	John in uh Crofton, Maryland.
	I'm glad you waited, sir.
	You're next.
	Rush, I uh actually a little surprised you're talking about Newark because uh uh the Democrats really well, I guess that's why they the Democrats won't talk about it.
	Uh because it's uh a social experiment like uh Philadelphia and Detroit and Chicago, anywhere they put up federal government projects, and uh we had to move in 1953 out of the center of Newark.
	It was uh considered a little Italy, and that that's where Joe DiMaggio used to come and eat at uh Richie Boyardo's uh place thrived.
	Place and uh, you know, Newark uh was the home of uh uh Yankee farm team then, the Newark Bears, and uh that's where uh Yogi Bear and a lot of them uh went through before they went to the Yankees.
	But anyway, Newark was a functioning city at the time, and they decided to do something they called uh uh urban renewal, and they took Little Italy and they leveled it.
	There's a book about it called The Old uh Italian First Ward.
	And uh incidentally, it's forty years since the 1967 riots that Tom Hayden, uh Jane Fonda's former husband, instigated in Newark, and uh they've never gotten over it.
	Uh I uh the the only good thing that's happened uh since they put up the government projects is they imploded them, but apparently they haven't uh replaced them with the livable housing for enough people, and so you still have a failed uh war on poverty, which urban renewal was later renamed under uh Johnson.
	But there was a guy named Peter Rodino, who's the congressman from Newark, and I guess he had his heart in the right place when he thought he would bring uh federal money there and destroy all the fabric of the town and put up these uh projects.
	And uh whenever you know there's trouble, whether it was in Detroit or Chicago, uh, these are warehouses for for criminals.
	And uh, you know, these these cities don't have a chance.
	Uh don't don't don't leave out St. Louis.
	It was called Pruitt I go.
	Was that St. Louis or East St. Louis?
	Uh but I I know everyone.
	You may have a point there.
	Uh I think it was in St. Louis.
	I think East St. Louis is its own.
	Yeah.
	That's an another problem.
	Yeah.
	But but you're right.
	I mean, the federal government, the Democrats really.
	Well, I know you you you you can't leave out New York either.
	Beds bed's dye, I mean, all these places.
	Yes, you're right.
	I I'm not familiar with the city.
	And don't worry about South Central.
	But If you go to all of these places Where liberals have worked their magic based on compassion and concern, which is rooted in the fact that the people that live in these places are incompetent and incapable of doing life themselves.
	Liberals run in with their what amazes me.
	Everywhere it has been tried, where liberals are unchecked.
	New Orleans, liberalism, Democrat ran that place for years.
	Newark, you go down the list, and you will find decay and destruction.
	It's it's and yet uh they still get credit for all this compassion and understanding uh and concern, because I guess they love having victims.
	Absolutely.
	And and the Newark Star Ledger is uh is a is complicit in this.
	I'm I'm surprised.
	That was always a lousy newspaper.
	They used to have a Newark News, which uh most people uh that any intelligence read, but of course that went uh went out of business.
	It wasn't the liberal paper.
	Well, let me ask you a question out there.
	You moved from one blue state to another one.
	Yes.
	The one-party state.
	We've got Martin O'Malley here that wants to raise everything that begins with the letter T. He's raising all the taxes.
	He he did such a great job in Baltimore, another losing democratic uh experiment with uh you know where they built uh the projects right next to Little Italy, which is the safest part of Baltimore to to this day.
	I mean, it's near the inner harbor.
	And if you want to go to Baltimore, you know you can park in Little Italy and you don't have to worry about being mugged.
	Incidentally, Newark, I believe, uh was the uh the the uh home of uh the invention of the carjacking.
	I mean, I heard it before it even had a name, but it I think it all started in Newark.
	That well, that's a dubious honor I hadn't heard.
	You got Shaq O'Neill from Newark, Queen Latifa, Whitney Houston, Joe Pesci from just outside of Newark.
	I don't think he claims New York.
	We got all these wonderful people somehow, miraculously, made a success of themselves.
	Well, they got out.
	No thanks to Newark.
	They they they they got out.
	Yeah, it was an incentive to get the hell out of there.
	You remember you'll probably remember this name, Anthony Imperiale.
	Oh, yeah, he was during the riots, and he was the one that was taking uh people to the hospitals and everything.
	Yeah, I remember him sixty minutes did it did a piece on him, uh, and they drove around with him uh at night.
	And this is a long time ago.
	Sixties, seventies, and he was cast him as uh he was little, you know, you could uh uh exceed the boundaries now and then.
	But he was being perceived and portrayed as this this out of control vigilante.
	But what I what I remember the story was the the that the uh the last place anybody was with any sanity would go to at night is Newark if if the what was in the sixty minutes piece was accurate.
	Well, it wasn't.
	I mean I mean that maybe was.
	I didn't see that, but I saw a documentary that just came out, and they didn't mention Anthony Imperial's name whatsoever.
	They blamed everything on the mob.
	They said, well, Newark was a mob town, and uh well, what's happened in forty years when the mob's mad there?
	I mean, you and I nezio was the mayor at the time of the 67 riots, and he got put away, you know, because of uh he was on the take, and all his henchmen were were sent to jail.
	So uh now you got this guy, Corey Booker, uh who is like uh the mayor of Washington, and we got this guy uh Bente here.
	Yeah, they're both good looking guys, and they both think they're gonna do wonders.
	And in Washington now, they can't even get the school books out of the warehouse.
	They have them in a warehouse, but uh uh you know, the the I guess the hierarchy or the uh uh the operation of the DC schools, they only got one guy working in the warehouse, and they said when the kids uh start school and half of them aren't gonna have books.
	Well, that's ridiculous.
	You know, just have FedEx come in and take the damn books and take a you know, a truckload to each school.
	But you know, the the teachers' union everything, uh uh entrenched uh Yeah, FedEx is non-union, aren't they?
	That's why it works.
	You know, that guy came up with the idea for no no, because UPS works too, and it's uh Yeah, well, that's unionized.
	That's it.
	All right, look, look, look, I I gotta hit I gotta hit the trail out there.
	Uh you're great.
	No, you don't you've been on fire.
	This is great.
	I've enjoyed talking to you.
	Yeah, Rush.
	Take care.
	We got a brief time out here, folks.
	We'll be back shortly and wrap things up.
	You gotta hear this, folks.
	You have to.
	This is Cindy Sheehan last night's San Francisco press conference announcing her candidacy against Nancy Pelosi.
	I'm dedicating my candidacy to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan that have been tragically harmed by the Bush regime with the complicity of Congress.
	Well, now that makes a whole lot of sense.
	You're running for votes in San Francisco, and you dedicate your campaign to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, who will be so much worse off if you ever, ever got anywhere near positions of path.
	Sad thing what they've done to this woman.
	They've ruined her life the left has.
	You have a great weekend, folks.
	Be back Monday.
	Look forward to seeing you then.
