Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
I just read a late late arriving email here.
All right.
Greetings, folks, and welcome.
Great to be back with you after an exhausting weekend, I must say.
Not a whole lot.
Well, I got some rest, but it was an odd times of the day and night.
But nevertheless, here raring and ready to go.
We've got broadcast excellence for three straight hours here at the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A telephone number if you want to be on the program today is 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Mr. Snerdley, did you watch the Democrat debate yesterday more?
Well, you know, I didn't either.
I I um Well I had I had to fly to Missouri on a family matter yesterday, and so I didn't uh and I didn't I didn't I didn't bother watching it on uh on TV.
Uh and I but I'm fully briefed on it, and we got audio sound bites from it, and uh we will again share those with you, uh El Quico.
Uh but there are other items in the news here of a little bit of lighthearted nature, some of them not so lighthearted, but uh this story's intriguing.
One out of five Norwegian criminals fail to show up to serve their sentence.
Uh this is from the Efton Posten uh newspaper in Norway.
Twenty percent of criminals do not show up for their prison time, according to the Norwegian correctional services.
Uh prison authorities can do little but hope the criminals will eventually come knocking on the prison door.
Honest to gosh, that's that's uh that's what it says.
Uh in fact, criminals sentenced to long prison terms are particularly prone to not showing up.
They're right.
This this is classic.
This, I mean, the the Netherlands, Norway, whatever it is.
We're we're we're talking we're we're talking just Uber lift.
And they hope the criminals show up.
Do you know what the problem is, folks?
I go to page two of the story.
The dilemma facing prison authorities is that failure to show up at prison is not yet illegal.
Wait till the libs in this country figure that one out.
Failure to show up is not illegal.
The uh a gauge of future economic activity inched up in July, indicating that economic growth may pick up slightly in coming months, despite turmoil in the housing market.
Interesting.
And by the way, you know, last week, and I've done this, I've I've issued this warning over several several uh broadcast years uh of service to you and this country.
I have warned you of the danger of carrots.
Everybody who has eaten carrots has uh died within 50 years of doing so.
Uh everybody who's eaten carrots, uh well, 95% of people eating any carrots have been involved in some kind of an accident within a year uh after eating carrots.
It's it's a it's a big problem.
And look from the from the Canwest News service.
Consumers should not eat one brand of baby carrot sold recently at Costco stores because of contamination by a well, the the thing that causes fever, nausea, and uh vomiting at Shigella.
Uh this is from the Canadian uh food inspection agency.
The carants are labeled Los Angeles Salad Company genuine sweet baby carrots, and they come from Mexico.
Uh they're not from China.
No, no, no.
Everybody said poison carrots would be coming from China.
These are from Mexico, but it doesn't matter where you buy these carrots or other carrots, you're still in trouble.
This story is is uh is AP, and I I love I love this story.
Uh family ties are the key to youth happiness.
So you're between the ages of thirteen and twenty-four.
What makes you happy?
Well, a worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like sex, drugs, and a little rock and roll, maybe some cash, maybe some car keys.
Turns out the real answer is quite different.
Spending time with family was the top answer to the open-ended question, according to an extensive survey.
Uh more than 100 questions asked of uh 1,280 people between 13 and 24.
This is a joint project between the AP and MTV on the nature of happiness.
Among America's young people, nearly three-quarters of young people say that their relationship with their parents is what makes them happy.
Uh, they're my foundation, said Christiana St. John, 17, Askrill student from Queens.
My mom tells me even if I do something stupid, she's still gonna love me No matter what, just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed.
Other results, however, more disconcerting.
Uh what of course, what AP story would not be complete without this next finding.
While most young people are happy overall with their way the lives are going, there are racial differences.
The poll shows whites to be happier across economic categories than blacks and Hispanics.
I mean, even in a happiest poll, what makes you happiest women minorities poor at all are the uh are the hardest hit.
Now you might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness.
Almost no one said money when asked what makes them happy.
Now, let me sum this up.
All of the things that conservatives have been fighting liberals over for the last fifty years, strong family ties, controlled sex, religion, faith, parents.
According to this poll, we're right.
And they, the liberals, are wrong.
And the old-fashioned things that we fought to save and uh and they fought to destroy in the end are what make kids happy, secure, healthy individuals.
You know what I didn't find?
I read the whole story.
I didn't find one kid that said government makes me happy.
I didn't mind one kid that said, yeah, my senator makes me happy.
I didn't find one kid, one answer here that said my congressman makes me happy.
And I didn't see anything in here about a village making kids happy.
Parents, yes.
Gods, yes.
Uh God, yes, friends, yeah.
Sex did not show up that much in terms of providing happiness.
Uh now, this is gonna be buried, but if it were not buried, this would turn liberal education theory and feminism, sociology, the Democratic Party platform, and MTV on their ears.
And they'll they'll adjust this to these conservative fuddy dutties uh were right reality, and they'll start promoting religion, parents staying together for their kids, kids abstaining from Yeah, right.
Uh, don't I don't think we'll get that kind of promotion from them.
Uh at any rate, uh I found that the whole thing uh just invigorating.
Because, you know, I that we got a soundbite from Hillary Clinton coming up here, uh, in which she says she's been fighting those people, meaning us, for 35 years.
And when I when I saw that, uh it got me to think, who has she been fighting and for what?
Uh and I I got to thinking, do we fight them?
Uh and I think, yeah, we do, but there's a fine-line distinction.
For example, this program.
This program is aimed at you, the people.
Uh we it we we conservatives engage in an intellectual pursuit.
We want you to be intellectually understanding of conservatism, be able to apply it, be able to learn it so well you can explain it and be persuasive.
Uh in the process, when we are attacked by people like Mrs. Clinton, who admits doing it for 35 years, we will then jump to the defense of ourselves and others and point out things about them.
But the s that the fine-line difference is that they are doing the exact opposite.
They are not trying to expand the minds of the opportunities of the people they want to vote for them.
They are trying to destroy their enemies.
Uh and I say it's a fine line.
I wouldn't mind politically destroying the left, but we do it in in uh in much different ways.
So you have a story here about this about childhood happiness or youthful happiness, and you find out that basic traditional values are what bring it about.
Especially in this day and age.
And in fact, this poll actually doesn't surprise me, folks, given all of the pitfalls and the decay, the perversion, uh, the the uh the destructive nature of pop culture and the way it's reported, these were pretty heartening results, especially when you have the polling of the sponsoring agencies here, AP and uh and MTV.
So it in the midst, it's one of the reasons why I'm always optimistic.
I always think the future's bright.
In the midst of all this turmoil and angst and chaos and the perception that the younger generation is going to hell in a handbasket, which every adult generation always thinks, by the way, uh there are um real signs of of uh of optimism out there uh when it comes.
I mean, for kids to say what they said, for young people to say what they said here, uh, it means they have a pretty solid foundation, a pretty solid understanding of uh what gives life its uh its real meaning.
Uh and you know, real meaning in your life.
Uh that's that's that's uh you know something that a lot of people never grow up to find, or they find it pretty late.
So I was encouraged by it.
We got a quick time out.
We'll get started with the Democrat debate sound bites.
Your phone calls also coming up right after this.
Your guiding light, L. Rushbow, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, National Treasure.
General all around good guy at 800-282-2882.
I don't do this very much.
I'm gonna make an exception.
I got I got I got the cutest email today from uh from a woman named Morella Piana.
She's a subscriber rush 24-7.
Uh and her subject line was I lost my husband to you.
I said, Whoa.
Better read this and call a lawyer's.
Uh, as I read it, turns out she'd married this guy for 17 years.
I think they've been married 17 years, and and uh it's his birthday today.
She wanted me to wish him a happy birthday.
Uh he used to be a big Democrat.
She introduced him to me.
Now that's all he'll do is listen to this program.
Uh, which no, that's a great decision, pal and your wife still loves you.
See, this is how this works.
So I just I wanted to take a very seldom do we do birthdays on this movie.
Like we don't do over the back fence.
You lose your cat, call a local show.
Uh Dog runs away, don't call us.
Uh also half-hour news hour, the sketch last night is up at Rushlimbaugh.com.
If you missed the airing of the episode last night, which, you know, they changed the uh air date and the Times twice.
It was going to air Thursday night last week.
Then they moved it to Friday.
Then all the uh the flooding and stuff happened, or hurricane news.
They moved it to its regular Sunday broadcast time as 10 o'clock last night.
So uh it's up and running now at Rush Limbaugh.com.
It gets a quick time movie format.
And it's uh it's about two minutes, and it's hilarious.
All right.
The New York Times.
But the story has not appeared in the New York Times.
In fact, the story hasn't appeared.
We haven't found it anywhere.
Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, none of the major newspapers.
You remember, many, many moons ago, ladies and gentlemen, I told you the dirty little secret of the Democrat Party is if they win the White House, they are not pulling troops out of Iraq.
Headline International Herald Tribune, Clinton sees risks in rapid Iraq pull out.
Senator Hillary Clinton went out of her way Sunday to underscore the risks of a too rapid U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.
She indicated that a pull out might take up to twenty months, adding this is not going to be easy or safe.
She says we're gonna have uh have tr essentially uh troops in Iraq the first two years of her presidency.
Now you might be thinking, why in the world would she say this now?
What in the world wide does she still got to win the nomination?
This is not gonna make the uh the base happy, these kooks.
Well, number one, it hasn't shown up in the American media.
Uh it is on drudge, so it's out there, but it's in the International Herald Tribune.
The um uh Boston Globe mentioned it without any details, not that didn't make a uh a big deal out of it.
The dirty little secret here is that Hillary thinks she's got the nomination wrapped up.
She's already running the general election.
Nomination is hers.
Without one vote being cast, she's figured it out.
I also think not only uh just based on the things that she's saying, based based on uh on who she's talking about, I think she's concluded that Rudy is gonna be the Republican nominee, and I think she's already running against him.
I think she's just you know giving whistleblower time here to the uh opponents that she faces in the Democrat Party.
So she's she's out there now forgetting all about trying to woo the base because she's got it.
She's got the nomination.
This is this is in her uh in her mind.
All right, to the uh audio sound bites.
I want to go back, play for you the very first question that George Stephanopoulos asked the Republican candidates uh two or three Sundays ago on their debate on his show on Sunday morning.
First question.
Our goal today is to get a real debate going uh among all of you, to find out where you stand on the issues, but also to figure out the real differences that separate you.
And and in that spirit, Here in Iowa, you've already been going at each other, somewhat beneath the radar screen on the issue of abortion.
All right.
Now we have for you the Democrat debate was yesterday.
Here is a montage of all of the Stephanopoulos questions and candidate answers on abortion in yesterday's debate.
Keep in mind, none of these are repeated.
Keep in mind, none of these are repeated.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
There were no questions on abortion, and thus there were no answers.
For the second Democrat debate in a row, this was the case.
And of course, what would a Democrat debate be without the words rush limbaugh?
Here is this.
This was at uh Drake University in Iowa, by the way.
George Stephanopoulos said this to Senator Clinton.
Outgoing White House Counselor Carl Rove opined on that this week.
He was on Rush Limbaugh.
Here's what he had to say.
There is no front runner who has entered the gener who's entered the primary season with negatives as high as she has in the history of modern polling.
She's going into the general election with depending on what poll you look at in the high 40s on the negative side, and just below that on the positive side.
And there's nobody who's ever won the presidency who started out in that kind of position.
So uh uh Stephanopoulos uh said uh well, what is what is your response to that?
You know, I have been fighting against these people for longer than anybody else up here.
I've taken them on and we've beaten them.
The idea that you're going to escape the Republican attack machine and not have high negatives by the time they're through with you, I think, is just missing what's been going on in American politics for the last uh twenty years.
The reason why we're going to win is because we have a better vision for America.
We know how to bring about change, and I know how to beat them.
So, yes, they're going to be driving up negatives and making all these comments.
Doesn't matter to me a bit.
Well, we went and I did a little research here, folks, and I found, you know, the Republican attack machine, quote unquote, went after Al Gore pretty good in 2000, and his negatives were not nearly as high as Mrs. Clinton's.
And then in 2004, the so-called Republican attack machine went out uh after after uh John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.
Uh and his negatives didn't score nearly as high as Mrs. Clinton's do.
Uh by the way, the attack machine, as she calls it, is simply the truth squad.
All we do is get the truth of these people out there.
The thing about these Democrats, especially Mrs. Clinton, is when you, when you call them uh on their on their facts and how they're wrong about things, they consider it an attack.
Uh you you know full well for you wish there were an attack machine in the Republican Party, don't you?
I mean, have you not have you guys have you guys spent a lot of time watching Carl Rove?
He has been, he was in all three network shows yesterday.
He's just cleaning up after these people.
He is he was wiping the floor with these people.
I don't care if it's David Gregory.
Uh I don't care who it is, is wiping the floor with all of them.
Uh, and you watch this, and and uh you say, gosh, where's this been?
Where has this kind of response to the Democrats been from the White House?
Well, I happen to know because they've told me.
They just they that Rove feels liberated now that he's residing and will be out of the White House in a couple of weeks.
Uh so even less than that, so he uh he's free to unload.
And then people say, well, why is he going after Hillary?
You know, it's the age old thing.
If you focus your attack on Clinton or anybody, you elevate them.
You you you elevate their sense of importance.
And of course you give Mrs. Clinton the chance to say, aha, they're really worried about me.
Why, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So people are speculating.
Why is Rove doing this?
In fact, here's here's A. Pete, Deb Reichman.
Uh, Master GOP strategirist Carl Rove won't let up on his attacks on Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But the intriguing question is why?
Why?
That's the question.
The how about what he's saying about her?
Are you not at all interested in that?
Why is he going after Hillary?
Why is it do these people actually sit there and think we're just gonna lay down and let Mrs. Clinton water walk all over us?
Do they really think that's what it's it's such a fate accompli?
She is such the candidate of inevitability that why are they bothering to criticize?
Well, who would dare criticize Hillary?
So they're coming up with answers.
And one of the answers that they're coming up with is its reverse psychology.
You know, they you know, keep in mind here, keep in context how they think of Carl Rove.
He's the wizard of Oz, is this master strategist pulling pulling uh marionette strings behind Curtain.
Uh and uh uh so they're saying it's reverse psychology.
That she's uh that they want the Republican apparatus, the attack machine wants Hillary Clinton to be nominated because of her high negatives, and because they think uh that uh she'd the she'd be the easiest of the Democrats to beat of the of the top-tier Democrats to beat.
Uh so they're they're they can't figure out why he's doing this.
How about to get the truth out about her?
You how about something is just as simple as what it looks like if it's a duck, it's a duck.
Walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
We're not talking about Mrs. Clinton.
We're talking about what we are in a sense, but what Rove is uh is saying about her.
Gladly, ladies and gentlemen, making the complex understandable, and there's a slight irrelevant error.
I just want to foreclose any nagging emails.
I said a moment ago that the half hour news hour opening sketch was uh at rushlimbaugh.com in quick time format.
It's not, it's Windows Media Player.
You still watch everybody can watch it.
Uh doesn't matter a hill of beans.
I sent it up to them in quick time, but quick time we don't use for streaming.
We found better luck with uh uh with live streaming with uh with other things.
So just you know, I just people you see, I don't make too many mistakes.
Documented to be almost always right 98.7% of the time.
When I make a mistake, everybody harps on it.
I don't have the luxury like you people of learning from my mistakes and getting a pass.
When I make a mistake, bam.
Everybody zeros in and uh and wants to uh wants to point it out.
Uh let's see.
Let me let me grab uh line two.
I want to go to before we leave Mrs. Clinton here in the dust.
We're not gonna totally leave her, but got a question from Zimmerman, Minnesota from Ron.
Welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush, an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
I apologize uh to you for our beacon.
You wait 17 years to hear from me.
I like that attitude.
I like that kind of confident bravado.
Thank you.
Hey, I heard Hillary say this yesterday, and I I sent a chill up my spine.
Her disingenuous banter when she talks like she wants to work with both sides of the aisle, and she just got right up there and said, I've been fighting these people for all these years.
35 years fighting these people 35 years, right.
It spoke volumes.
Well, let me tell you I'm gonna want to expand on this uh tell you why she's doing this.
Uh she's already concluded that she cannot be beaten in this in this primary.
And she's what she's doing, she's moving rapidly, she is moving quickly to build up a solid and rational uh position, ostensibly reputation on national security, trying to distinguish herself from the others.
Uh hence this international tribute and Herald Tribune story.
We're gonna be in Iraq for two years after she's president, she says, just can't get out of there.
The others are in a race to tell the base how fast they're gonna get out and how they're gonna do it, and even what roads they're gonna take out of there.
Wait till you hear the bite coming up.
It's it's it's it's hilarious.
So she's she's got the nomination wrapped up.
So she's campaigning now for the famous move back to the center uh business.
Uh she knows that that what kills Democrats in general elections is the position being taken by all of her opponents uh in this uh campaign and in the uh in the debate.
She's also gonna run on health care.
She's gonna do it all over again.
Uh she knows that people want something for nothing.
She can convince them that that's what her health care plan is.
She's she'll say that she was lied to about the war, that it was fought incompetently, but that we can't pull out all at once.
We we just can't do that.
Uh she's gonna try to put Republicans on defense uh uh because they'll be defending the Bush position, yada yada yada yada yada.
Uh and and I guarantee you, she and her team right now are working on trying to neutralize the security issue.
The Democrat car, the hybrid with all these candidates in it, has gone off the cliff, as I keep telling you, on the subject of Iraq.
They've invested in defeat.
She's pulling back.
She has jumped out of that car and a parachute has opened, and she's gliding gently down, well, as gently as she could glide at a parachute down to uh reality.
Uh and it you know, it isn't it isn't gonna help that some of our guys have been weak on security, uh certain aspects of it, uh such as the bro uh the border.
Uh you know, that's that's that's where they uh are vulnerable.
So I I think as I said earlier, I think she's getting ready to run against uh against Rudy.
I think that's what they think or who they think the nominee on our side is gonna be, and I think they want to.
So in the meantime, Rove is out there trying to uh alert everybody to just what her record is and their and and by the way, her incompetence is uh is the hidden message, and then the drive by story they're just they are just nobody criticizes Hillary.
Well, they don't know what to do with this.
This is unprecedented.
Well, you might say, oh uh Michelle Obama and uh and uh Mrs. Edwards are out there criticizing her.
But see, I finally figured this one out, too.
Uh you can't hit the girl.
You just you can't hit the girl.
And for Edwards and Obama to go out there and criticize Hillary would uh would uh she would she plays the victim better than anybody does, and she could make real hay out of that.
So they've got their the their wives out there ripping her.
But the drive-by's aren't taking that seriously because Hillary's the inevitable candidate.
So here comes Rove, and he unloads first on this program, then goes on meet the press, then uh wherever else he went on Sunday and unloads with basically the same message, and they're all out there saying uh that uh uh Carl Rove uh singled out Hillary Rodham Clinton for criticism, if I may be so bold.
He didn't single her out at all.
Each and every time he has been asked about it, including on this program.
And I'll admit something to you.
I hadn't intended to ask him about Hillary Clinton because I didn't think that I'd get an answer.
But we had the audio soundbite of the ad that she was running, accusing uh this White House of not seeing half or more of the population.
By the way, grab grab our commercial on that that we began debuting on Friday, uh, Mike.
Because this is this this uh I had the audio soundbite and had played it, and I asked Grove about it, because the White House had responded to it.
So badly that's that's when he unloaded.
Uh but he's asked about her each and every time.
Now you might think it's a minor point, uh and you might say, well, he's smart enough to know he's gonna be asked about it, so he's ready for it.
But he doesn't bring it up.
He is always asked about it.
Uh we have put together a parody ad of Mrs. Clinton and this invisibility thing because the ad that she did run was uh was it was just outrageous and and uh and wrong.
And and this that ad was a classic example of the Democrat attack machine.
So this is the way we explain it in reality to people.
Ha, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Now, moments ago, I gave you insightful analysis on how Hillary is already in her mind, she's got the nomination wrapped up.
Time now to run the general election.
Time now to move back to the center, try to get some uh uh credibility and rebuild the reputation on national security.
Meanwhile, the other guys still they nowhere near winning a nomination, so they still have to appeal to the base.
And the question came up yesterday about uh uh uh getting out of Iraq.
And that we have a little montage here of the candidates uh with with uh with their pretending to to say that they can be the first and the fastest to get us out.
Listen to this.
When you begin to take the troops out, what are you gonna do with the four or five thousand civilians that are left inside the green zone?
We would move them through roads and Kuwait.
We would move them through roads through Turkey.
Moving troops out cannot happen without careful planning.
We would have to take our troops out, plus the equipment, which we would not want to leave, plus what we do with the people in the green zone.
In a very orderly way, bring our troops out.
Orderly phase withdrawal, pull everybody out and turn to the Iranians who helped us defeat the Taliban.
That was Mike Gravel is always good for a laugh.
So Richardson's already just telling you, okay, here's the road we're gonna take.
We're gonna take roads out of there in Kuwait, we're gonna take roads in Turkey out of there.
Uh but you hear the difference between Mrs. Clinton's answer and uh and all of the uh all of the others.
Now, Turkey would not let us use their roads to move in, if you recall this.
Uh I don't know if they've changed their mind.
Maybe they'd let us use their roads to get out of there, but they may think once we got in there we wouldn't stop.
We would stop.
And so I've these these people are just uh they're they're they're hopeless.
All right, now back one more sound bite.
We have before we go to the break, we'll go back uh grab number eleven here.
Uh Stephanopoulos, this is basically a yes no question.
We've seen all this turmoil in the markets over the last couple of weeks caused by the credit crunch and the crisis in the mortgage markets.
We saw on Friday the Federal Reserve lowered the discount rate for banks.
Should they lower rates for everybody else?
Yes or no.
Yes, I think it'll happen in September, but we also have to need more liquidity.
They ought to be allowing Fanny and Freddie Mack to put more liquidity in the market.
I agree with that, but we also need a home rescue fund for all the millions of Americans who are worried about losing their homes.
Well, we can say that there's no answer to that question.
Just follow the money of the people on this dais, and you'll see a response.
All right.
Now, what's interesting to you about this, if something strike you about this question and the answers.
Does it does it ring your bell that nobody asked John Edwards about his $16 billion million dollar investment in Fortress Financial, which foreclosed on 34 or 38 New Orleanians, which is where he announced his campaign where he had the poverty tour.
If Mitt Romney had invested 16 million dollars in a company foreclosing on the homes of Katrina vixen's, do you think he'd get asked about it?
Damn right he would.
Stephanopoulos didn't bring it up, neither did any of the candidates.
But we will.
Have you seen this story, folks, about artificial life will be created in three to ten years?
Some of the lines from the scientists in this story are amazing.
The AP writer on this is Seth Borenstein, and he informs us of dramatic scientific advances.
Experts, quote-unquote.
Predict that we are three to ten years away from the creation of artificial life.
Uh, although, quote, that first cell of synthetic life made from the basic chemicals and DNA may not seem like much to non-scientists.
It'll only be visible through a microscope.
It's going to be a big deal.
Everybody's going to know about it, said Mark Badot, whose company, Photo Life, is working on it.
Creating photo cells has the potential to shed new light on our place in the universe.
What arrogance.
He also said if we could remove one of the few fundamental mysteries about creation in the universe and our role.
Sorry, Mark, you might think you're going to do that, but that's one of the answers that we as humans will never get on this earth.
But it's even better than that.
All this is pretty heady, as are the predictions for these artificial life forms.
For example, these are cells.
We're going to be able to create artificial life, according to these experts, that will lock up greenhouse gases.
That will eat up toxic waste.
We're going to create life forms that will fight all kinds of disease.
Now, Mark Badeau acknowledges there are fears that artificial life forms may spin out of control.
But he says, I get this.
When these things are created, they're going to be so weak.
It'll be a huge achievement if uh if you keep them alive for an hour in the lab.
The idea of these new life forms getting out and taking over, never in our imagination could this happen.
Well, then how if you're only going to keep an hour in the lab before they die, how are they going to eat up global warming?
And how many of them is it going to take if these things are microscopic?
You're going to have to have a whole bunch of them out there.
By the way, what is artificial life?
I thought that was uh robots.
At any rate, uh, I'll tell you what's amazing to me about this.
All of these resources devoted to creating cells in laboratories to cure what ails mankind.
While inside the human body, real life, supremely advanced by the standards these clowns are talking about, is routinely discarded.
It's called abortion.
Without any regard for its God-given potential.
Narry a word from scientists about this.
So we think we're going to learn more about our place in the universe and creation in their laboratories as they create artificial light forms to eat up global warming and to cure disease.
These guys have any clue the natural disease curing systems in the human body.
They have the slightest idea what they are talking about talking about.
This is an example of the arrogance and the vanity that I think we as human beings can exhibit all too frequently, particularly in areas like this.
Let's see, Bennington, Vermont, next, Brian.
welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Uh, Russ, a pleasure.
Yes, sir.
Um, I was intrigued by your uh survey that you reported on uh the youth in the country and what they considered important in their lives.
Yeah, what makes them it's a happiness survey.
Exactly.
And um I think it was Edmund Burke once said that that tradition is a sum total of our knowledge as a people.
And which which goes uh to the to the fact that that family tradition is is so important uh to us as a culture.
Um what I would like to see is I would like to see this survey expanded.
I would like to go to the to the black community.
Ask the youth in the black community what is the most important thing in your life.
Well, they did.
What is it?
What is it that you would want more than anything else in the world that you don't have?
And I think it would be what they would answer would be a two to uh parent family.
Well, could be, but we don't know that.
You know, it'd be it'd be dangerous here to uh to speculate.
It makes sense that they would say that uh given the status of uh single parent families in the uh in the black community.
But this this survey dealt with it.
Of course, with the AP involved, with the drive-by media involved, and of course MTV, uh it had the obligatory, I don't care how much happiness there is out there, uh, minorities ain't happy.
They just ain't as happy.
The uh blacks and the Hispanics just not quite as happy.
Now, the way Libs deal with this, folks, is to not figure out why the blacks and the minorities are not happy.
We gotta figure out why the white kids are too happy and do something about it.
It's not fair.
It just isn't here again.
We've got discrimination and what have you.
Happiness is now something that decides its uh relevance and its place based on race.
So the traditional liberal value, and what they do love to to uh have people equal, equality to them is misery spread around as equally as they can make it.
Hey, the first hour is in the can, uh, soon to be on the road to the secret warehouse housing artifacts for the eventual Rush Limbaugh broadcast museum.
We'll take a brief break here at the top of the uh hour.
