Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I know you people probably didn't see it last night, but PMS NBC really screwed the Brett Girl.
I mean, they made him pay for his little response to Bush, but they interviewed Biden and Huckabee before they played the Brett Girl's response, and it didn't cost them anything.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you with us.
The fastest week in media has reached Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday.
Oh, yeah, goody, goody, goody gumdrops, yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo, and all of that.
Open Line Friday is upon us.
This is when your host, I, Rush Limbaugh, a highly trained broadcast specialist, take a unique career risk.
And that is I turn over the content of the program when we go to the phone calls to untrained non-specialists, lovable members of this audience, and there are no limits on what they can talk about.
Monday through Thursday, you got to talk about things I care about, but on Friday, talk about anything.
Whine, complain, moan, laugh, cajole, ask questions, or whatever.
It's always fun.
You never know what's going to happen.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, rush at EIBNet.com, gearing up for a big trip tomorrow, going to Lincoln, Nebraska, USC, Nebraska tomorrow night.
USC, Nebraska.
Don't start ripping on Nebraska.
Nebraska is a heartland, Mr. Stern.
What are you doing in there?
Well, Nebraska.
Don't do, you sound like a lib.
Where's Nebraska?
Let me tell you something.
Well, I like USC, Nebraska college football, yeah.
And I got a big kick when I watched Hawaii and Northern Colorado when I was on the golf trip in Hawaii.
That was a kick because that was on the sideline.
No, this is going to be a great, great, great game and a great time.
But Nebraska is the heartland of country, Mr. Sterling.
Nebraska is the simplicity of life.
It is, you know, you can go to Nebraska, you can capture America as it's always been.
Oh, it's a great place.
I've been to Lincoln a couple times.
Well, once for a Nebraska game, played Notre Dame, creamed them, back when Bob Davey was the coach.
Anyway, looking, looking forward.
Yeah, I own Nebraska.
And, you know, in fact, on game day at Lincoln, one out of every six Nebraskans is in Lincoln for the game.
It's big.
It's big.
It's an exciting event.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, more details on how the Brett girl got screwed in just a moment.
But while everybody's upset at the moveon.org ad, Lanny Davis is upset at me.
The former Clinton Spinmeister was on the Fox News channel this morning on Fox and Friends.
And Steve Ducey, who does the weather, interviewed Lanny Davis and said, look, I know you're familiar with Hillary.
She wants to be president.
She's not come out and denounced this moveon.org ad.
Do you think she should?
Every single Democrat should say that moveon.org, using the expression general betray us, is engaging in outrageous and, in my opinion, offensive rhetoric, but no less so than some of the hate-mongering that I hear from Rush Limbaugh and some of the people on the right questioning the patriotism of people like moveon.org who have a right under the First Amendment to say anything they want.
Why we give them such credence when nobody can take seriously that kind of outrageous exercise of their First Amendment rights is to me amazing that you would start out with that subject rather than George Bush's speech last night.
So the conversation continues with Lanny Davis bringing me back into it.
Senator Clinton should denounce it.
I don't know why.
But again, you're still focused on moveon.org rather than President Bush.
Why are you not questioning Rush Limbaugh attacking patriotism?
Why hasn't Fox done one program about Rush Limbaugh?
Would you answer that question?
Let me interview you and Fox and friends for a second.
WhyMoveOn.org, which I denounce?
Why are you not denouncing Rush Limbaugh, questioning my patriotism for disagreeing on the Iraqi war?
Lenny, I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't heard Rush Limbaugh do that.
I'll look at it.
Why don't you do a study and invite me back and we'll have a program about Rush Limbaugh rather than just focusing on what you call any left.
Lanny, you're filibustering.
I welcome it.
I hope Fox does a program on me.
I won't participate in it because I don't do that.
But what have I said?
What in the world have I said?
All I've said was that they're invested in defeat.
I've said that it's just unacceptable.
It's indecent.
The way they attacked General Petraeus.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if this conclusion has come to anybody else out there, but during the Petraeus hearings and even in the post-mortem, you know, not one liberal, not one Democrat has asked, what can we do to help you and the troops?
While they were talking to General Petraeus, Lanny, there wasn't one Democrat in the House or Senate on either committee that asked the general what they could do to help him and the troops.
There wasn't one Democrat who said, What can we do to help the war effort?
There wasn't one.
Lanny, where is the poof that I am challenging your patriotism?
Up until today, your name hasn't come up in a while on this program.
You know, I think you guys are wrong in trying to undermine the war effort, U.S. national security.
But challenging your patriotism has never been what I've done.
I challenge your judgment and so forth.
But if you want me to say I challenge your patriotism so Fox can do a show, okay.
Anyway, the Brett girl, this, you know, we had a news yesterday that the Brett girl had purchased time, two minutes of time, on PMSNBC in order to reply to the president's speech.
Now, I thought that they would run the Brett girl's response right after Bush's speech, but no, they ran a rant response by Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed.
And then after that, they did their roundtable discussions.
They had Matthews on there, and they had Howard Feynman on there, and they had Tim Russert on there.
And then they went and talked to Joe Biden and asked him what he thought.
And they went to, by the way, went to who else?
Mike Huckabee, a Republican, asked him what he thought.
It must have been 30 minutes after Bush finished that they finally got to the Brett girl.
The Brett girl is the only guy to pay, and they just ran it as a commercial.
They ran it as a commercial.
They didn't set it up, by the way, now for a candidate response to President Bush's speech.
Here is the Brett girl.
They didn't do that.
He just ran it as a commercial, a commercial break.
And after the Brett girl's response, they ran the obligatory, I'm John Edwards, I approve of this message.
It was a hoot.
So he paid for all this time, and he needn't have paid for any of it because they're interviewing all these other people long before they got to his commercial.
Would you like to hear what the Brett girl said?
Because I know nobody watched it.
So here's a portion of his response.
The question of Iraq is separate from September 11th, as it always has been, whatever George Bush would have us believe.
Likewise, supporting our troops and pursuing a failed war are not the same things.
Whatever George Bush would have us believe.
Our troops are stuck between a president without a plan to succeed and a Congress without the courage to bring them home.
But Congress must answer to the American people.
Tell Congress you know the truth.
Congress needs to tell him he only gets one choice, a firm timeline for withdrawal.
No timeline, no funding, no excuses.
It is time to end this war.
I'm John Edwards, and I approve this message.
Meanwhile, we have sound bites for you throughout the program today from Democrats who are just beside themselves.
They know they can't do anything to stop this.
And Bush last night were going to be in there 10 years.
They are beside themselves.
Bush said we're going to have permanent basis.
Bush said we're going to have a relationship with him.
I remember all these liberal Democrats were complaining and whining that Bush wasn't exercising diplomacy.
Now Bush talked last night about essentially using diplomacy, and they're just out of their gourds over this because they got skunked.
Asked to moveon.org, back to Lanny Davis for just a second and Mrs. Clinton denouncing it.
Does anybody remember?
Mr. Snerdley, you might.
Does anybody remember what moveon.org stands for?
Why was it it was move on right?
It is a Clinton front group.
It's a Clinton George Soros front group.
You know, Rudy Giuliani did a great thing yesterday when going for his New York Times ad and making the point that he wants one for the same rate.
He linked her to moveon.org.
Moveon.org means let's move on from Clinton scandals.
And it's now moveon.org that won't move on, if you will.
Mrs. Clinton's inexorably tied to moveon.org like she is to Media Matters for America, like she is for the Center for American Progress that Clinton's chief of staff, John Podesta, runs.
I think it's tied to all of these things.
To expect her to denounce it?
By the way, she didn't say a word last night.
I haven't seen Mrs. Clinton.
She may have this morning, but she didn't say a word last night about the president's speech.
All right, a brief, brief, brief timeout here.
First EIB obscene profit break of the day.
And we will continue with Open Line Friday right thereafter.
Welcome back to Open Line Friday.
Rushland Boy emitting vocal vibrations, coast to coast.
A little reminder here about moveon.org.
You know how old moveon.org is?
Take a guess, Mr. Sterdley.
How old'moveon.org.
When was it founded?
Right.
It's exactly.
This is one of the reasons I got the best staff in all of media.
1998, moveon.org.
And back then, you remember we started getting seminar callers back.
Moveon.org were the original seminar callers.
They were programmed by the organization to say that they were nonpartisan, they were non-political.
And when they called in, what they would say is, I'm a lifelong Republican, but I'm never going to vote for the Republicans again if they don't stop this impeachment proceeding.
That was moveon.org.
Can't we move on?
Can't we move on from this?
It's a Hillary front group.
So just wanting to remind you of that, ladies and gentlemen.
Norman Shu is going to have a chance to get back out on bail despite the suicide note, despite all.
The disgraced Democrat fundraiser is in custody after jumping $2 million bail in San Mateo County last week.
We'll be spending an additional week in a Colorado jail unless he comes up with another $5 million.
County Judge Bruce Rom said at a hearing in Grand Junction, Colorado yesterday, $2 million wasn't enough to keep Shu from running.
Let's see if $5 million will do it.
Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hotzinger said that it asked for $50 million bail, warning that Shu was an obvious flight risk.
No kidding.
Why any bail?
The guys jumped bail twice, and he was willing to lose $2 million to do it.
Are they going to get his passport from him this time?
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, the shoe story not going away.
The shoe story, we now learn, has ties to Dingy Harry.
The shoe story has ties to a number of Democrats.
It is time to memorialize this via Paul Shanklin in song, exclusively here.
Chinese Tramps and Thieves sums up the associations made famous by both the Clintons.
That's Hillary Clinton as portrayed by Paul Shanklin, well-known white comedian, exclusively heard here on the EIB network.
All right, the New England Patriots have been fined $250,000.
Their coach Bill Belichick fined half a million dollars for spying on the New York Jets with a video camera crew on the sideline last Sunday at Giant Stadium.
They're also going to lose some draft choices.
But the Patriots, I have to tell you something.
This spying in the NFL goes on all the way.
You know who the best spies in the NFL are?
The players on the field.
Now, what Belichick was doing is a violation of the NFL operations manual.
You're not allowed to have video crews on the sideline.
The only video crew can be in the press box.
The rule says it's got to have two walls or three walls and a closed roof.
So that's up there in the press box.
But no video recording crew or equipment is allowed to be used by teams on the sideline at NFL games.
And Belichick knew it.
He's got a little, I guess, some issues with Eric Mangini, a former assistant with the Patriots, now the head coach of the Jets, and it was Mangini, turned him in.
Apparently, a lot of teams have been suspicious of the Patriots doing this.
It's obviously a violation of the rule.
The argument that's being taken today or that's underway today is whether the penalty was sufficient enough.
For example, they play again, I think it's December 16th in Foxborough, the Jets and the Patriots, and some people think that Belichick should have been suspended for the whole week, no contact with the team for the week and suspended from the sidelines during that game.
They also lost some draft choices, and it depends on how they finish as to what draft choices they lose.
They can lose a first-round draft choice if they make the playoffs.
But that's okay.
You want to know how smart the Patriots are.
It's almost as though the Patriots had insurance here that they were going to get caught someday.
They have two draft choices next spring.
They have the San Francisco Fortune draft choice, and they have their own.
They're going to lose their own draft choice because they are going to make the playoffs.
The 49ers draft choice is going to be a much better draft choice than their own would have been.
So they're not going to lose a first-round draft choice.
Now, if they don't make the playoffs, they will lose their second and third round draft choice.
But they're not, I mean, that's not going to happen.
Unless Tom Brady gets hurt.
That's the only way they might have a stumble on the way to finishing in the playoffs, probably winning the NFC or the AFC East.
So Belichick has apologized.
He's not going to talk about it anymore.
A lot of teams, as I say, have been suspicious that this was happening with the Patriots.
You know, it's arguable, folks.
I'm a football expert, and it is arguable to suggest that the sideline videotaping the Patriots were doing could help them during games, especially if you go back and look at this game on Sunday between the Jets and the Patriots.
The video crew was spotted and escorted off the field in the first quarter.
Everybody knows the outcome of this game.
The Patriots were able to run, pass, run their game plan, their offensive game plan at will.
I think what they probably were doing is just building up a library of videotape for a future study down the road when they play the Jets again.
And that's probably what they have been doing all along with this, because using this stuff during the game, there's really not enough time for it.
And everybody said, but why would he do it?
He's the smartest coach in the league.
He's the best coach in the league.
The rule is the rule.
He's been warned about it before.
Why would he do it?
That's the question they have in Boston.
Why would he do it?
What's the point?
Especially, no offense, Jets fans, but especially against the Jets, it wouldn't be necessary.
And of course, that's where the Eric Mangini situation involves itself.
So basically, I think the Patriots, they have people are going to be doubting their achievements.
They've got, you know, a half an asterisk around all their accomplishments.
But in truth, that will probably subside.
It's just an amazing thing.
The real question they're asking in Boston is the real, well, why do it when you've been warned and when you know what the rule is and you don't need to?
And this is something, of course, yeah, it's like Nixon and McGovern.
Why break into the DNC, Nick, when you knew that you were not going to lose to George McGovern?
Why do it?
We're still asking ourselves that.
By the way, it was Paul Shanklin's sister, Carol.
Shanklin, Carol Shanklin portraying Hillary Rodham Clinton in this shrill.
She's white too.
Yeah, she's a sister of a white comedian, a white sister of a white comedian.
By the way, people say, the lyric line are kind of tough to understand.
Well, she does a great shrill impersonation of Mrs. Clinton.
One other thing about Norman Shu here, folks, from the Cybercast News Service, after pledging to return $850,000 raised by Norman Shu, Senator Clinton's presidential campaign found this week to do more rigorous background checks of these big donors.
But some law enforcement officials contend that Mrs. Clinton, or somebody close to her, should have known about Shu's fugitive status, given the routine background checks conducted by Secret Service on protected persons.
I wish I'd have thought of this myself.
I don't know how many times I've been to the White House.
I have to go through a background check every time I'm going to go there.
You've got to send your social security number up there.
And they background check everybody that walks in there for any reason whatsoever.
And the same thing, you know, when Hillary hosted this dinner at the Museum of Modern Art, the restaurant there where Shu shows up and Hillary and Shu show up in the same picture, he has to go through a background check to get in there.
Now, I mentioned this only because Mrs. Clinton's acting like she didn't know.
We didn't know.
Nobody in the campaign knew.
It's not possible.
It's all BS.
She knew everything.
She didn't care.
That's the point about this.
You know, this is one of these situations you could say, okay, how much did she know and when did she know it?
Carl Rowan, a federal agent, both the FBI and the U.S. Marshals for a decade, that would be 10 years for those of you in Rio Linda, said in an interview that, quote, I would absolutely be shocked if the Protective Intelligence Division of the Secret Service was not fully aware of Shu's status as a fugitive.
The Clinton campaign dismissed the theory.
Howard Wolfson said, sorry, you're not correct.
The Secret Service did not vet Mr. Shu.
Whoa.
Okay, then there's lax security surrounding Mrs. Clinton for crying out loud.
If people they don't know can get close to her for a photo op just coming in with wads of cash.
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, I want to keep reminding you of this for all these hacked Democrat spokesmen and operatives out there ripping on me and others for questioning their patriotism.
I just want to remind you that not one liberal, not one Democrat during the two days of Senate and House testimony from General Petraeus asked him, what can we do to help you and the troops?
Not one Democrat on either committee said, what can we do to help you and the war effort?
Not one Democrat came anywhere near their whole purpose was to destroy and impugn the character and reputation of a decorated four-star general in full-dress uniform sitting before them.
This, you can call it lack of patriotism or whatever, what I called it was indecent.
And that's exactly what it was.
Get this, folks, car buying spurs retail sales rebound.
Retail sales posted a modest gain in August, helped by the biggest jump in auto sales in more than a year.
But there are concerns that spending could falter as the steep slump in housing and financial market turbulence weigh on consumer confidence.
Of course, they had to add that last sentence because they cannot permit there to be a conclusion that there's good news out there.
Now, why is all of a sudden car buying going through the roof?
How come people buying cars?
It is this program, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, by the way, can I want to thank you people about, you know, I should have started the program with this.
You people are the greatest audience in the history of media.
And I mean this from the bottom of my beating and sizable heart.
Yesterday, I gave a little plug to Laura Ingram's book, Power to the People, about 10 after one, 10 after the second hour when it started.
And at the time, I didn't know this at the time, but at the time, her book was number 61 on the Amazon nonfiction list.
By 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was number one.
And today, it's number one overall, nonfiction and fiction.
It is ahead of Clinton's book.
It's ahead of the OJ book that's out there.
And you people did that.
I'm telling you, you are the most fantastic audience in all of media.
It's just, I admit it, I admit it.
Yes, I suggested that you get it and read it, but you did.
And it just, this was just an amazing thing.
I got an email flash from a friend.
Have you seen Laura's book?
No, I'm not.
I'm working on tomorrow's show.
So I went and looked at it, clicked on the link, and it was number two at like 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, an hour after the program.
And I thought, well, that's not bad.
Number 61 to number 2.
And then at 5 o'clock, I clicked, I guess they updated every hour to become number one.
I mean, that's just great for her, and it's great.
You know, we all got to hang here together, folks.
08's important, and this book is got some timely information, inspirational things in it.
It really, as I said yesterday, is well worth your checking out.
But I just really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That is just amazing what you people do.
And it's happening with General Motors.
General Motors is a sponsor here.
sales are going up um you you know oh well well we um we we we look at i don't want to tell the story in great detail but for 19 years we've been trying to get a major auto dealer and they had their advertising plans and they wanted to rupt them and And finally, we came up with a plan for them that made it, I'm not going to give away the secret, we came up with a plan that made it feasible for them.
Not involving money, but we became a strategery.
And so GM sales, auto sales going up, and it was just fabulous.
And I really don't want to gush here too much, but I just can't tell you what I think of you all.
You are just, you just blow me away.
You are literally just amazing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
All right, Mohamed in Richmond, Virginia.
You're first as we go to the phones on Open Line Friday.
Hello, sir.
Yeah, how's it going, Rush?
I'm a big fan.
Thank you.
Sir, I just wanted to tell you, I'm a Muslim who studies Homeland Security in my university, and we love this country very much.
I've been to the Middle East.
I've lived there almost half my life.
And what we don't hear on the media is the other side of the Middle East that wants us to stay the course.
Our allies in the region, Jordan, Kuwait, others, they want us to stay.
They don't want the dangers that are right now in Iraq to get exported to them because they have seen what it will do.
Well, let me ask you this.
How great a fear in these countries, including Saudi Arabia, do you think there is and exists of Iran and its intentions?
Because they're a Muslim country as well as an Islamic Republic.
Well, there's actually a bigger scare of Iran, bigger than the scare of al-Qaeda.
Like, if you remember, the only reason that the Arab countries backed up Saddam Hussein was in order to stop Iran.
Like, you know, there's still pictures of the late King Hussein and Saddam Hussein in a bunker looking at the bombs falling on Iran.
It's a scary thing.
And Iran is not just saying, hey, you know, we want this and that.
They are literally moving on the Gulf countries, on Bahrain, on Qatar, on all those Gulf countries.
Yeah, and I'm sure that they've got their eyes on Dubai, because what the Dubai people are doing cannot possibly make the fundamentalist Islamists happy at all, catering to the wealthy of the rich and of the Western cultures and so forth.
Mohamed, thanks for the call.
Yeah, this question of moderate Muslims, it's a challenging thing because I've mentioned this before about my friend Andy McCarthy, who now, among many other things, writes at National Review Online.
He was on the prosecution team out of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which is Manhattan, prosecuted the blind sheikh.
And I've told this story again, so I'll tell it briefly here.
He had to prepare to cross-examine the blind sheikh if the blind sheikh took the stand.
Now, he didn't think the blind sheikh would take the stand, but he had to be prepared in case.
And the official position of the U.S. government back then was that there was a fringe militant extremist Islamism and that there were moderates.
And the official position of the U.S. government was that Islam is moderate.
So Andy said, okay, I know that this guy's a nut.
I know that this guy is off his rocker.
So I'm going to take what I know that he has said in speeches and I'm going to take what he has written and I'm going to go to the Quran and I'm going to find where he is exaggerating it.
And he couldn't find it.
Everything that the blind sheikh said was in the Quran.
And Andy is trying to warn people today about this.
He said, this is this whole extreme versus moderate thing is something that we want to believe.
But then on the other hand, I was, you see, Charlie Rose last night had Professor Fado Jami, who is Muslim.
I mean, he's a, well, I'm not sure.
Now I'm confused.
Sunni or Shiite, I am not.
He's Shiite.
He is Shiite.
And he's from Lebanon.
He is one of the world's great Middle East scholars.
And he was on Charlie Rose last night, part of a panel with George Packer of the New Yorker, Al Hunt, and Cheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times.
They were talking about the president's speech.
And I must tell you, Fwada Jami was just terrific.
And he didn't talk so much about the speech.
The arguments he made, and this just had the rest of the panel stumped.
The arguments he made were that America's influence in the Middle East is stronger post-Iraq war, that the war was a noble undertaking and that we can succeed and that we are seeing a transformation on the ground there.
That we are seeing unreported political progress from the central government.
Now, of course, the news out today, the White House has issued their report on the political progress, and they say it hasn't been much because the last one was in July and these guys over there took August off like our guys do.
But Fwada Jami said there's much more political progress in the central government in Iraq than is being reported.
He called the president's critics defeatist.
I guess they now claim that he challenged their patriotism.
And there was a lot more.
Now, this is significant because Fwada Jami knows the region better than almost anybody in America, including anybody in the drive-by media.
And as I say, he's a Shiite Muslim from Lebanon.
You've seen him.
He's very urbane looking.
He has a beard.
He's well-spoken.
He's a brilliant writer.
And last night, he was a tiger.
The rest of these panelists were just doing the usual narrative and template of ripping Bush to shreds.
And he was talking about the substance of the issue.
And of course, they know Fwada Jami.
I mean, he's one of them.
And they're acting like he's from Mars.
They're acting like, who is this guy?
But he knows Iraq, and he knows the Middle East far better than these clowns on the panel did.
He was just there.
And you could find, and I've got him too.
I've got him right here, ladies and gentlemen.
I've got the specifics that he has cited.
Latest trip holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Now, he is a Shiite Muslim from Lebanon, and you would have to say that he is not in any way shape.
He's an American.
He's in no way, shape, manner, or form out of the Islamo-fascist mold.
So interesting, and take it for what it is.
But Fwada Jami is somebody worth listening to on this.
I got to go a little long in this segment here, folks.
Be patient.
Rolling right along, unstoppable, unbreakable.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
It's open line Friday.
And so we'll focus on the phones for the time being.
Moraga, California.
Stewart, you're next.
And I'm glad you called, sir.
Rush, do you remember when the timeline for ending a war?
By the way, stop it just a second.
Stop just.
Sir, do you have an iPhone?
No.
Would you like one?
Sure.
I'm going to send you one.
And you know why?
Why?
Because you got right into it.
You just got.
Thank you, sir.
You just got.
Rush about this timeline.
You just got right into it.
You didn't ask me how I was doing.
You didn't, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't mind you, but I just loved it.
So if you hang on here after this is over, and we're going to send you an iPhone because we'll get all the information necessary to do it.
I'm going to send you an extra cord charger and dock for the thing as well.
All right.
Now, even though you started outright, I interrupted you, but that was for a good and gracious reason.
Start again, please, sir.
Thank you.
You're very gracious.
The reason I called was to ask if you remembered when the timeline for a war depended on when the enemy surrendered.
Yes.
Why is it that John Edwards and the rest of the Democrats don't understand that principle?
Well, I think they do, but they can't.
They're too far gone politically now on the investment of defeat.
And their line is it isn't a war.
It's a civil war.
It's sectarian, and we can't stop it, and there's nothing we can do, and they're going to have to fight it out for themselves.
This is, look at, they're being led around by their kook fringe leftists, the anti-war movement in this country, and that's who they are proving fealty to, and nothing is going to change that.
They're not interested in victory.
You have to understand now, Stuart, which I'm sure you do, politically, the absolute worst thing that could happen is for this to work and for this to succeed and for there to be victory at the end of it.
The worst, absolute worst thing it can happen, especially if we make significant progress toward that prior to 2008.
That's correct from the Democrats' point of view.
Mr. Glimbaugh, there's one other thing I wanted to mention about Shwada Jami.
Yeah.
And the evidence that he was right last night is that Syria right now is very upset with the rest of the Arab world for not condemning Israel, which last week did a long-range bombing strike into eastern Syria.
And none of the other Arab countries are complaining about what Israel did because they think Syria deserved it because what was bombed was a missile battery that was provided by Iran.
Exactly.
And it may have been nuclear.
They're still looking into that, but there might have been some nuclear sites that Israel also hit.
Interesting point.
You did make that point that nobody's condemning Israel in the Middle East.
And that is unreal.
That's almost never happened.
Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate your graciousness, and I will use your gift to the maximum potential.
Have you ever seen an iPhone?
Have you ever seen one used?
I've seen them at the store, but I've never seen one used.
Well, you are going to be...
Do you have a Mac, or do you have Windows?
Presently, I have Windows, but that could change.
Well, it'll work with Windows.
I mean, you have iTunes?
Use iTunes?
Yes, sir.
All right.
Well, you need iTunes.
You need the latest version of iTunes to activate the phone and to sync all the data.
It's just like an iPod, except it has much more on it.
You'll be stunned and blown away.
I am sure I will.
I call it ecstatic.
Thank you.
Good, good.
I like appreciative people.
Now, stay on hold here so we can get all the vital information necessary to get this to you.
In the meantime, a quick timeout.
We'll be right back after this.
Have you heard about this story?
The odor of cigarette smoke has caused a school employee to lose her job.
The Denton Independent School District has removed an employee from her position because she smells like cigarette smoke.
Suzanne Lidster was thrilled when she was recently hired to assist a student with disabilities at the L.A. Nelson Elementary School, and she got canned because she showed up smelling like cigarette smoke.
We'll have details when we get back.
