Time Text
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back.
I, ladies and gentlemen, and well known radio raconteur, general all-around good guy, harmless, lovable little fuzzball, Rush Limbaugh, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Great to have you with us.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIB net.com.
Now, last week, we just we just read the latest poverty figures.
And the latest poverty figures say there are 37 million so-called poor in this country.
And we arrive at that figure by not counting the government benefits they get.
Now, this is key for where I'm headed.
We don't count the various welfare programs that they all subscribe to, the food that they get, the all of those things.
It's important to keep that in mind.
Now we are also told uh through various entities, and especially today, with Mrs. Clinton announcing her Save the World Healthcare program, that there are 47 million people without health insurance of any kind.
Now, do these figures make any sense to anybody?
How can you have 37 million so-called poor people yet 47 million people without insurance of any kind?
Uh the impression that the Libs want to leave is that there are 47 million people who can't afford it.
for one reason or another.
There are 47 million people who can't afford it.
There are 47 million people who have rotten bosses that won't provide it.
We don't know how many illegal immigrants are included in the 47 million, for example.
But it clearly isn't true that there are 47 million people who cannot afford health insurance in this country.
There may be a large percentage of it choose to spend their money on plasma TVs instead of health insurance because they're in their 20s and 30s.
Or they may be buying SUVs instead of health insurance, because that's their choice right now.
But the Libs want us all to think that this country is so unfair.
It's so rotten, and it's so mean.
Forty-seven million thick people just crying out in the wilderness for health insurance, and this country is telling them to go to hell.
That's what the Libs want you to believe.
Uh let's go back to the 37 million so-called poor.
One of the Bennies that they get is called Medicaid.
That is Medicare for the poor.
Medicare is for seasoned citizens, Medicaid is for the poor.
So how can we say 37 million people or 47 million uninsured when 37 million poor people have access to Medicaid?
Which is essentially health care.
Now, uh, does this suggest that a large number of the 47 million without insurance or without insurance by choice?
Either because they're self-insured or they've decided to spend their money on something else.
And I want to, where exactly in the Constitution does Mrs. Clinton have the power to dictate health care for all Americans?
It's going to be a long battle, folks, because they're back, and they're going to go about it in a very stealth-like fashion this time, rather than a comprehensive do-it-all-at-once program like they tried last time.
And the SHIPS program is going to be one of the first areas that they will try, so we So just uh buckle up, because this is going to be fundamental to uh educating people on the dangers of electing a Democrat to the White House in uh in 2008.
Now from Salon.com, a story entitled So Long White Boy.
Could 2008 be the year that Democrats finally admit an old sweetheart is never coming back and stop pandering to the white male voter.
This is by Thomas Schaller or Schaller.
I'm not sure how his name is pronounced.
I don't know who he is.
He's not identified here.
You know, somebody sent me some hand sanitizer, and it's it stinks.
Like perfume.
Like Avon came calling or some such thing.
Normally that stuff you put it on, it has little aroma or odor, but it goes away goes away.
The scent goes away.
This stuff.
I feel like I'm in New Orleans in a red light district with this stuff on my hands.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh, yes, those uh those who have been closely following the politics of Democrat primaries may have noticed that somebody's missing.
I'm not talking about Bob Schrum or the Reverend Sharpton anybody else.
I'm talking about the white male voter, or at least a certain long-coveted variety thereof.
He is variously known as NASCAR Dad, a shirt sleeved, straight talking, these colors don't run fellow who votes his cultural values above all else, or Bubba, as Steve Jarding and Dave Mudcat Saunders affectionately call him in their book Foxes in the Hen House.
Start looking on milk cartons for Bubba because he's vanished and not a moment too soon.
The Democrat obsession with the down home blue-collar white male voter, that heartbreaker who crossed the aisle to the Republicans many decades ago may finally be coming to a merciful end.
Boy, here says I don't even know if this guy understands how elitist and arrogant this guy said.
Get rid of those hicks.
We don't want him in the Democrat Party, and it's a waste of time to try to go get them, is what he's saying.
The simplest explanation for Bubba's absence to date.
I want you people to know this is you, you Bubba's out there, as defined by this guy and other Democrats, you NASCAR types, you Southern Hayseed Hicks.
This is what they've always thought of you.
They don't like you, they don't want you in their party.
They are embarrassed to have you amongst them, and this guy's letting it be known.
The simplest explanation for Bubba's absence to date is that none of the 2008 Democrat contenders provides an obvious home for his vote.
Despite accusations that Hillary Clinton is prone to dropping her G's when talking to rural or southern audiences, it's difficult to imagine the former first lady making overt appeals to a group that regards her with something verging on rabid disgust.
Barack Obama, a former Chicago street activist, not easily mistaken for a good old boy, ditto for Christopher Dodd, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and Bill Richardson.
But the underlying reason may be demographics.
In 1952, according to calculations performed by Emory University political scientist Alan Obramowitz for Salon.
1952, Salon didn't exist.
Oh, they did the calculations now for 1950.
Anyway, white males were nearly half the American electorate.
Thanks to the recent growth in the Latino population, however, the white male share is now dropping about a percentage point a year, accelerating a decline that began with the increased in uh franchisement of African Americans in a civil rights era.
In next year's election, white males may account for fewer than one out of three voters.
Bubba is no longer a kingmaker.
But the candidacy that most testifies to Bubba's declining stock is that of the Breck girl.
And we can all explain this, folks.
Uh at first blush, Edwards, the Southern populist, seems ideally suited to corner the market on working class white male voters.
But aside from his homegrown accent, Edwards displays none of the affectations or semiotics that might once have signals his intent to woo them.
There are no Lamar Alexander style flannel shirts and no sponsorship a la Florida Senator Bob Graham four years ago of a NASCAR racing team.
Instead, Edwards hammers the issue of economic justice largely, if not completely, with overt cultural appeal.
This is not why Bubba doesn't go for Edwards.
Do I have to say it?
I right do I have to say why Bubba doesn't go for Edward.
No, I don't I'm not gonna say it.
I don't have to say it.
He's not one of them.
This guy is a phony effete little linguini spine snob.
This this imagine this guy showing up to start a NASCAR race with the mirror and the hairspray and all this.
You know, making sure that.
Anyway, the upshot here is that Salon.com, they are happy that you Hayseed hick Bubas, you NASCAR types, are no longer in large enough numbers in this country to make political candidates successful, and they're happy to be done with you.
Last Friday, I think it was, uh, one day it had to be Thursday night or Friday, New Mexico governor and Democrat presidential candidate Governor Bill Richardson released a statement about the New England Patriots and their punishment handed out by the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, and I kid you not on this.
Said Governor Richardson, the president has been allowed to spy on Americans without a warrant, and our U.S. Senate is letting it continue.
You know something's wrong when a New England Patriots face stiffer penalties for spying on innocent innocent Americans than Dick Cheney and George Bush.
The Patriots were spying on innocent America.
Would somebody show me one American who's been spied on?
But the what a statement.
The New England Patriots face stiffer penalties for spying on innocent American the New York Jets.
Innocent.
Have you seen the list of Democrats that Norman Shue gave money to?
What a great list.
Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, John Kerry, Bill Nelson, Jay Rockefeller, Diane Feinstein, Patrick Kennedy, Harold Ford, Governor Tom Vilsack, former governor of Iowa, Dingy Harry, Tom Harkin, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Fast Eddie Rendell, a governor of Pennsylvania, and Barbara Boxer since 2004.
Norman Shue has donated 260 grand to Democrat Party groups and federal candidates and raised hundreds of thousands of additional dollars.
And the story is out if you if if you needed if you needed money, uh call Shu.
And Shue would come up with the money.
And the New York Times had a little story on the guy here, and it's uh uh it it it's kind of it's kind of sad in a way.
Uh fundraiser's wallet matched his need to please.
There are quotes here from people, hey, yeah, we'd we'd call Norman and say, Norman, we need 50 grand, and he'd do it.
And the upshot of the story is he just wanted to be liked.
He just wanted acceptance.
He knew he was a nerd.
He knew he was a geek.
He knew he wasn't in the big click, and he wanted to be liked.
He just wanted to get in and be with the big boys.
He also, in this story, it says, wanted to launder his uh fraudulent past through the Clinton campaign.
Several prominent Clinton donors have spent time with Shue recall him as an indefatigable networker willing to take on any fundraising need, even from low-level Clinton staff members.
And he was motified, uh, motivated by a desire to rebuild his identity, his image, to launder his fraudulent past through Democrats and the Clinton campaign.
Wrong laundromat, Mr. Shu.
If you want to look clean, the last thing you do is go through the Clintons.
How in the what?
Unbelievable, but this is not the end of the story, ladies and gentlemen.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News in Washington, was on Chris Matthews' show on Sunday, said this about Hillary's uh campaign staff and Norman Shue.
With the Norman Shue money raising controversy for the first time, there's a real concern in the Clinton camp that this is real baggage from the Clinton White House years.
There's a lot of stress, a lot of damage control, a lot of finger pointing, and in fact, stress so high that there was a shouting match observed among Clinton staffers in public last week.
Ooh.
Ooh, this is a trick.
This is a nah I'm telling you what happened.
I'll tell you exactly what happened here, folks.
We got the story last week.
It was Novak, Robert Novak had the story that, hey, this shoe problem is Hillary.
She won't delegate.
Hillary is so hands-on she's got she she doesn't leave this to chance.
Now all of a sudden, Andrew Mitchell has a story that the staff's out there fighting amongst themselves, who's to blame for this.
This is just designed to take the heat off Mrs. Clinton.
It's like this American prospect story.
This story coming out a day or two before Mrs. Clinton's big announcement.
This is an old defense attorney trick.
It is.
A question from the official program observer Bo Snerdly, yes, sir.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Well, uh Snerdley's question asked in a peak in a fit of mild rage was this.
How come as far as the Democrats in a drive by is concerned, anybody who even had a cup of coffee with Jack Abramoff deserves to be in jail, and yet with Norman Shue, he just wanted to be liked.
Because it's a New York Times running cover.
This story remember I told you keep a sharp eye in the New York Times.
The New York Times decided this was too hot for them to be able to support Mrs. Clinton that they have apparently decided it's not.
And this piece is really to give her some cover on this.
Shu well plus he's a sympathetic figure.
He tried to commit suicide and and uh got on the California Zephyr out there and now just get five million dollars.
What a pathetic he just wanted to be liked.
I mean that's something do you know you know that characteristic you know who that's aimed at the Oprah audience.
We got to feel sorry for this poor guy.
Look at him.
Look at the pictures a poor drag guy's out away from his home country of Hong Kong he just wants to be liked we all want to be liked.
We all want to be like that that's that's we all want to be Norman Shu just wanted to be he wanted to be liked by the big guys.
Nobody nobody I've none apparently they don't the even the people who were swindled don't care that they were swindled.
One guy cares he was swindled I know that the Mr Snurby you don't have to convince me in fact I would I would pose this to you as a thought Norman Shue has jumped bail twice.
He still gets bail if he can meet at $5 million.
O.J. Simpson, no bail.
Twice.
No bail for O.J. And he's innocent.
He was found not guilty.
He's rotting away in a Las Vegas jail until his hearing on Wednesday.
No bail.
Norman Shue bailed three times.
He may not be able to meet this last time.
But anyway, this American prospect thing, it's an old defense attorney's trick.
What you do, you put at the same time...
put out contrary theories to appease two different groups of people while Hillary's out there in Iowa lauding her healthcare credentials from 1993 to gain the support of the Libs and the drive by's this American prospect story comforts middle of the road folks that think Hillary care in 93 was a debacle by trying to convince them that she didn't really do it.
And taking the strong rebukes of the Republicans out of play.
So in other words uh th this whole thing is to give her a clean slate ladies and gentlemen in the American prospect.
That's what um is all about there.
All right Tracy in Beverly Hills, Michigan, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi Russia's happy to talk to you.
Thank you.
Um I'm calling because I kind of got sucked in a little bit last night to watching the Emmys and um you're the one yeah there were 36 of us.
I was one of them.
And um I I I just recall hearing about a creative Emmys brought or not even a broadcast but um a presentation of awards a week ago for technical Emmys um behind the scenes stuff, animation, some reality awards, other programming and um kind of boring stuff I guess stuff that wouldn't really interest us as much as best actor, best actress.
Well apparently this stuff the ratings were down twenty percent last night compared to last year the New England Patriots and the San Diego Chargers creamed Y Emmys.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Um I wouldn't make it up well the lead in to the Emmys was the Detroit Lions and they won but maybe I was watching that game and the I don't know who the announcers were because I was switching back and forth uh to that game and the Raiders and the Broncos and the Cheeps and the uh and the Chicago Bears and the uh the fish and the Dallas Cowgirls.
Not cowboys and I was watching somebody calling them the Cowgirls yesterday.
I uh and I I happen to be zooming past the Lions game when they went into overtime and whoever the announcer was I thought was one of the funniest lines announced well I guess neither the Lions nor the Vikings are interested in watching the Emmys tonight.
Exactly I thought that line was hilarious.
It was and I guess Fox had the Emmys and that that was just their way of promoting the but the Emmys didn't draw that well last night no they didn't but um just as far as the the lions go I think we're all hoping that Kitten is the real deal here.
But okay back to my point.
Um so the creative um Amies were last week.
And they're going through uh um their Emmys in pretty good fashion last night, I thought.
And then uh they go to a category that's entitled Um Creative Achievement and Interactive Television.
Okay, hang on right there, you know, because you know I interrupted you during this call.
This is not your fault.
This diarrhea of the mouth uh episode is the fault of the host.
I gotta take a break.
Hang on, we'll come back and get your point after this.
I know.
All right, we're back here.
And uh we're back to Tracy Beverly Hills, Michigan.
You're talking about the uh the Emmys that nobody watched.
Yes, I am.
So I'll recap.
Um okay, so they're going through some awards like um best actress in a sitcom, best actor in a sitcom, some writing stuff, some director stuff, and then they come to the creative achievement and interactive television,
and a gentleman, I can't recall who the um creator of MySpace is, but they go to him and he presents Al Gore with the um award for creative achievement and interactive television for current TV, his youth-oriented television staff.
Which nobody really watches.
I honestly, I I'm, you know, I'm fairly I don't know.
I I know a little bit of my way around the internet here, and quite honestly, I I you know I've heard a little bit about it a few years ago, but it's it's not even on the map.
And I just thought this is just such a No, no, no, no, no, but you see, liberals are awarded for their good intentions, not their results.
Okay, and that might be true.
But um I just thought, you know, th this is another opportunity to march this guy out there in order to exercise their agenda.
Tracy, it's exactly right.
Look at here's the drill.
Al Gore does a global warming movie.
He does not win the Oscar for it.
Other people win the Oscar.
No, but he walks on stage, he's a very good thing.
So they think he won an Oscar.
Now they think last night he won an Emmy, which he did.
Now it's on to the Nobel Peace Prize.
He did a he did a PowerPoint presentation, but he walked up on the stage, even when even though it was supposed to be the executive producers who put uh who were um uh part of the inconvenient um truth.
He did a PowerPoint presentation, but they held him up on a um well, like uh like Oscar himself, saying, Oh, this this man created this wonderful masterpiece for us to uh follow its path.
Wait, wait, wait, wait now.
Are we talking about current TV or uh No, no, now we're back at the Oscars.
But it was the same thing because he got a standing ovation.
Of course.
And then the gentleman next to him said, you know, yes, people, I thank him too.
I thank him too for his vision for his courage.
You what do you what do you expect that you're gonna say when you turn on this stuff, Tracy?
I am s shocked at you.
Well, he here's the thing that bugs me.
I mean, gosh, I mean, don't they had the creative and technical Emmys last week and they couldn't, you know, just kind of No, no, they're not gonna they're they're not gonna bury Al Gore in the technical Emmys that they do from some alley studio on a Saturday night with still cameras.
That's no, you you know what the drill is here.
This is on to the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is this is a fundamental part of the uh of the of the feminist agenda.
Uh liberal agenda, it's all the same thing, a liberal agenda.
You you know the drill.
Um I this is incredible from CNN.
This headline Clinton unveils mandatory health care insurance plan.
They've been trying to hide that aspect.
Go you well, you know what the name of her health plan is?
American Health Choices Plan.
The name of her health care plan is American Health Choices Plan.
CNN bollocks this up and properly characterizes it as mandatory.
Do you hear what Hillary said?
Hillary in uh in uh on September third went over to talk to the ARP legislative conference, the American Association for the um For retired persons.
She said, When I'm president, privatization is off the table.
It is not the answer to anything.
By the way, Hugo Chavez has said much the same thing about the schools.
Hugo Chavez is going to take over the public schools over there because you can't let the private sector just run away with things.
So here's Mrs. Clinton.
Mandatory socialism in the schools, mandatory health care in the country.
And get this.
You know, do you people remember Barry Manilo?
You remember Barry Manilow?
You love Barry Manilow.
You, Dawn, like you to this day still listen to Barry Mandalo.
All right.
Well, Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on the view tomorrow because he disagrees with Elizabeth Elizabeth Hasselbeck's conservatism.
Conservative views.
In an exclusive statement to TMZ.com, Barry Mandalo said, I strongly disagree with her views.
I think she's dangerous and offensive.
I will not be in the same stage as her.
Currently on a press tour promoting the release of his new album, Great Songs of the 70s.
In a related Barry Manilo story.
A Colorado judge has sentenced people busted for noise pollution to one hour of listening to unpopular or unusual music.
Most young adult offenders were kept in a room and made to listen to Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You.
Karen Carpenter and Barry Manilo with the volume up loud.
Most of vendors who were not allowed to eat, drink, read, or sleep, found the punishment funny at first, but then the boredom set in.
After about 20 minutes, I was trying not to fall asleep, said offender Luis Cano.
Judge Paul Sacco carries out the punishment about four times a year, said the sentence fit the crime.
Look, when you have a person playing rap at extreme volumes all over the city, and they have to sit down and listen for an hour to Barry Manilo.
It is horrible punishment.
Judge Sacco said his love for music and helping youth inspired the unusual sentence.
Barry, you an idiot.
You just an absolute idiot.
You're trying to promote an album out there, and you refuse to.
You've just you just told half the buying public in the country that they don't you don't care if they buy your music or not.
It's an idiot.
Just an absolute idiot.
Diane in New York City, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
I I I'd rush, I don't know how you do it, but I'm so grateful that you do this for us.
I think I'd have a heart attack screaming back at the regular news if I couldn't laugh along with you.
Well, that's the point of it.
You gotta laugh at it.
Take it seriously at the same time.
We mix both of them this program.
Well, I take it seriously too.
And I've calling in to tell you that I was so outraged at the New York Times moveon.org anti-Petraeus ad that was out there before Petraeus even spoke, that I decided I'd go up and put my opinion out in front of the New York Times building last Friday.
I walked up there with my poster that said the New York Times sold out General Petraeus and at a discount rate.
And I stood out there for four hours, and uh couple of people from the Times came out.
One of them uh said a nasty thing at me, and another man said, Well, we've already solved that problem.
Another woman came out of the Times and said, You're right, you're right.
But the the most amazing thing was that in the four hours that this grandmother was standing out there all by herself.
Uh at least a hundred people came by and gave me the thumbs up, or patted me on the back, or said, You're right, you're right.
Talents in the Times.
And this one Don't get all excited, Diane.
Do not get all excited.
Those were tourists.
No, I believe.
Yeah, we're not native native no, no, no, no.
Native New Yorkers.
No, they're not gonna give you a thumbs up on that.
Well, a wonderful union man, they were working all kinds of construction around the Times Square there.
Union man came over in a shirt and said, Oh, this is a big thing.
They were illegal aliens.
Uh no, they weren't.
These were all big strong men.
Real men, not the little concept.
Guys, you see walking in for the time.
That was my own form of censorship there.
Oh, sorry, but it's okay.
But they were so sweet that uh you It was like standing on a New York City street corner, and you see a hundred good friends walk by telling me.
It sounds like it renewed your sense of spirit and identity in New York and maybe even in America.
Well, one little person standing out there saying the truth, I think empowers a hundred other people.
Well, I we're very proud of you.
That was very courageous.
That is really an amazing thing.
You just did it by yourself.
Went down there with your sign, you stood outside, you took a little verbal abuse from some Times people, but you got your accolades out there.
Um Times doesn't get protested much.
Uh liberal organizations like this don't get protested.
Uh I th that's a great move, and I'm glad that you got the reaction that you got.
Even if it was from tourists.
Speaking of the Emmys last night, ladies and gentlemen, this was Sally Field.
When she made her acceptance speech, I guess she won the Emmy for lead actress in a drama series for something called Brothers and Sisters, and here's a portion of her remarks.
And to especially the mothers who stand with an open heart and wait, wait for their children to come home from danger, from harm's way, and from war.
Hurry up!
I have to finish talking.
I took those and to war.
They oh God, I forgot what I was gonna say.
Um and and to war.
I I am proud.
I am proud to be one of those women.
And let's face it, if the mothers ruled the world, there would be no.
Well, well, well, Sally Field, who first embarrassed herself at the Oscars, but you love me.
You really love me, don't you?
Has now come out and uh amidst all the stuttering and uh losing her place and screeching at the audience to shut up so she could finish, has essentially said that if mothers ruled the world there would be no blank blank war.
Has she forgotten Margaret Thatcher?
Has she forgotten Golden Mayor?
Has she forgotten Indira Gandhi?
As uh she forgotten the Amazons, the Amazon babes.
You know, we named uh division in the U.S. Army after me, all American first camelry Amazon.
Uh whatever it was.
And then we've got uh somebody want to tell me Mrs. Clinton doesn't start wars.
Mrs. Clinton started more wars than the time she's been in Washington than anybody I can remember.
Dean in Johnson City, Johnston City, Tennessee.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
Uh just uh found it interesting that the uh Democratic Party's giving us an old given up on us old boys in the South.
And we're talking about the party that gave us Jimmy Carter and Al Gore and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Uh that I find that rather humorous, and uh I'm glad they gave up on us because I'm tired of getting their garbage in the mail.
You know what I think the truth of this, Dean, is that the uh the Salon guy writing for the Democrats is a day late in a dollar short.
I think what's happened here is that you good old boys have told them to take a hike.
And they finally figured it out.
And so what they're doing in their usual acts of superiority is saying, screw these guys, we don't want these hay seeds amongst us anyway.
You got to hear, let's go to Soundbite 14.
Audio Soundbite 14, Carrie and McCain.
John Kerry is served to Vietnam, John McCain yesterday on um beat the press with uh with Tim Russia.
There's a little who's on first routine uh about Iraq and a number of other things.
This administration took their eye off of him and chose to go to war in a place that had nothing to do with the war on terror.
And the fact is, as I said before, Al Qaeda loves our being in Iraq.
If you want to put Al Qaeda off balance, then change the equation.
And Iran loves the fact that we're in Iraq.
And Iran is a very strong.
Excuse me.
And Iran loves to be in Iraq, and they are.
Well, Iran is in Iraq.
And Al Qaeda is in Iraq.
And Al Qaeda is, if we don't continue to beat them back, will be a major influence and have training bases.
And they will.
We're going to continue to be able to do that.
You are asking to go back to a failed strategy that it failed for nearly four years that many of us that you voted for, by the way.
So I hope, I hope that we will have the patience and the understanding on the part of the American people that they've made great sacrifice, and all of us are saddened by it.
But I hope we can also point out the consequences of failure, which is what the Democrats are proposing now.
The Cain taking it to Senator Kerry who served in Vietnam.
Let's go grab somebody 13.
Because Russert, you know, they're they're they're frustrated because Bush basically said, We're gonna hang on.
And we're gonna go until we win this thing.
And the Democrats wanted the war to be solved and off the table, and the troops brought home before their president is inaugurated in 2009.
So Russert says to um says to uh Kerry, so what what what do the Democrats do now?
If you want to stop the war, you have that but one choice, and that's in effect to stop the funding, close down the government, say no one not one more penny for the war in Iraq, Mr. President.
Otherwise, this war is going to go forward as President Bush intends it to.
Everything depends on having sixty votes or sixty-seven votes to override a veto.
So any law that we pass, the president has the power through a pen to be able to negate.
That is what the 2008 election will be significantly about.
How do you make America stronger?
I believe the president's rhetoric and the rhetoric of those who talk about surrender and who talk about the the Democrats choosing to lose is insulting and incorrect.
We're choosing to win for America.
You are not choosing to win for America, and everybody knows it from the Chicago Tribune today.
Um sorry, Chicago Sun-Times, a column by Steve Huntley.
Uh, Iraq promises could haunt a Democrat president.
This column.
This column is another one of these Russia's right things, even though Mr. Huntley may not know it.
Would a President Hillary Clinton, as the first woman commander in chief, or a President Barack Obama as the first African American chief exec, want to begin work in the White House by ordering an American army to retreat from the field of battle?
That doesn't exactly sound like the way you'd want to start a historic presidency.
Goes on to say, hey, let me get a pull out of there.
His point is exactly what I have made to you.
They want Bush to surrender so that they don't have to be the ones to surrender because they're not going to surrender.
Another Clinton donor has been put in jail.
Federal authorities on August 27th arrested two members of a New York family of political donors and are seeking a third in India.
A complaint filed in New Jersey federal court by an inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Services charges the three with mortgage fraud.
They're alleged to have bought properties, resold them to fictional myers at higher prices and taken out inflated mortgages.
The father, Singh Saberwall, is a prominent figure in New York's Sikh community who has contributed to political causes ranging from Chuck Schumer to the Republican National Congressional Committee.
This is from the Politico.com.
Another Clinton donor has been put in jail, ladies and gentlemen.
Who's next?
Uh let me take a break here now.
Figure out where we want to go after the break.
Don't go away.
Okay, back to the phones.
We go.
El Quico.
This is Frida in Los Angeles.
Hi, Frida, thanks for calling.
Hello, hi.
Regarding Sally Field's comment, we also have to remind Sally Field that also mothers are raising uh suicide bombers in Gaza in Texan and in in in Iran.
So not all mothers let's not hold for any mother.
Excellent point.
That's an excellent point.
It is rare that a caller comes up with something that I haven't, but you did.
All of these jihadist mothers who are raising their little kids to be absolutely right.
Well, Sally Field is just it's a shame.
Well, it is.
It's just how you have to, though, give her credit.
She knows she's an idiot, and she is willing to go on national TV and prove it.
And that kind of courage, uh, ladies and gentlemen, is rare in our society.
You have a wonderful day.
And we'll see you tomorrow.
Can't wait to be back.
