	Righto, we're back here on the EIB Network, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity simply by showing up.
	It is Friday.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Here's the phone number if you'd like to join us.
	800 282 2882.
	And the email address rush at EIB net.com.
	Remember, you know the drill.
	We go to the phones and uh show us all yours.
	Talk about whatever you want.
	That's not the case Monday through Thursday.
	So go for it.
	Okay, here's what we've done.
	Uh we have put the first segment of the first hour of today's program on YouTube.
	There's a link at Rush Limbaugh.com to see the Ditto Cam video of the first segment of this program on YouTube to get the truth of how the anatomy of a smear, starting with a Hillary George Soros funded website finds its way to the drive-by media and into the Democrat Party and so forth and so on.
	Uh the whole thing.
	I want to spend a whole lot of time on it because that segment's self-explanatory if you haven't heard what's happened, but it's a total uh taking out of context of uh what I said.
	This happens quite frequently with this bunch.
	Uh but this puts it straight, explains the truth.
	Uh, and it's uh it's out there now on YouTube.
	Uh if you don't want to bother trying to find it on YouTube, just go to Rush Limbaugh.com and we've got the YouTube link there.
	And it's up and running now.
	Brian's in there.
	You uploaded it right, uh not yeah, not long ago, so it's uh it's up and it's running, it's fine.
	I got to have a funny story.
	You know, GM uh wisely decided some time ago to become official sponsors of this program, and every now and again they bring us cars uh to drive from the various GM lines.
	They brought us a couple Cadillacs, uh, they brought us a couple Chevrolets.
	Um, and what we have now is a GMC Acadia.
	And it's uh it's it's it's not a full size escalade type SUV, but it's not a crossover either.
	I mean, they call it a crossover, but it's pretty large.
	It seats eight people.
	And uh we're all supposed to drive this thing over the course of two weeks.
	And Dawn's had it for two weeks and will not relinquish it.
	She will not give it up.
	And she keeps talking about the thing that she likes the most about it's got a heads-up display of the speedometer on the windshield so that uh you don't have to look down to the dashboard to see what your speed is, which is important for Dawn.
	Uh and she's been known to have a lead foot at times.
	Uh, but she won't give the thing up.
	She loves the car.
	Uh or the it's an SUV, it's a truck or what have you.
	And uh, you know, Brian Snerdley both been trying to get it.
	And uh she just said, girl, what are you gonna do?
	I mean, you can't go to the purse and get the keys.
	Um so and we're gonna lose it soon.
	And uh they're gonna they're gonna bring um they're gonna bring something.
	No, it's the Acadia.
	Not Arcadia, it's the Acadia.
	Let's go to the audio sound bites, shall we?
	Let's start number uh number seven, uh, Mike.
	Elizabeth Edwards' new campaign ad.
	Um she is discussing her cancer in this ad.
	It's runs about 51 seconds.
	Sometimes we put things off, don't we?
	We think we have all the time in the world.
	Well, we don't.
	You know, you say you're gonna volunteer at a food bank, but maybe I'll do that next week, or my elderly uh neighbor could use some help, and I'll do that tomorrow.
	Sometimes we can't wait.
	The people who live in poverty in this country, they can't wait for us to step up.
	The people who are struggling and voiceless, those without health care.
	They can't wait.
	John and I have decided not to wait.
	To step up to try to make the difference that we can.
	The question is, what are you gonna do?
	Are you gonna step up?
	The truth is we don't have all the time in the world.
	All right, so she's the th th throwing the uh, you know, reminding people that uh she has a terminal disease and telling us that we might have a terminal disease if her husband's not elected president.
	Uh yeah, you know, they can do what they want.
	I want to go back in time, March of this year, when the uh when Edwards made the announcement about the return of his wife's cancer.
	Here is how Newsweek's Howard Feynman analyzed it.
	And this is a metaphor for how they want to fight for the country.
	They're willing to take the public relations risk.
	I thought that was looked at politically, diagnosed, if you will, politically.
	That was a 10 strike of a press conference.
	They showed guts.
	Was nothing short of remarkable and somewhat unexpected, and it's always great when uh something unexpected happens around here.
	What was expected?
	Do you recall at that press conference what was expected was the news had come out that her cancer had returned, and they were speculating, well, maybe there was a leak, in fact.
	Turned out to be a false leak that somebody planted and uh gave the political people.
	They thought it was uh legit and that Edwards might be announcing it was going to get out of the race.
	So that's what everybody thought was going to happen.
	And instead they did this press conference, they're going to fight on.
	Elizabeth's going to go on the campaign.
	We're going to take the kids out there, but that's what Howard Feynman was saying.
	Uh was a 10-strike politically of uh press comedy.
	Yeah, I did, and then they're on their website, they put a thing for donations.
	It was obviously to jumpstart the campaign.
	I even said so.
	And I took I took flack at the time for uh for analyzing it politically.
	Uh, but Feynman also did, of course, he didn't get any flack for analyzing it politically, but uh but I did.
	Uh speaking of uh Senator Edwards, he said yesterday he's gonna accept public financing for the Democrat primaries, reversing his previous plans to raise and spend money without being subject to the public system spending limits.
	Uh the Breck girl and his advisors said the decision was made not because of any shortage of money for his campaign, but rather because he wanted to draw a distinction with his main rivals for the nomination, particularly Mrs. Clinton, on the issue of the influence of money in politics.
	At a uh at a campaign stop Thursday in Conway, New Hampshire, the Breck Girl said it was huge amounts being raised by the campaigns that had changed his mind.
	Washington's awash with money and the system is corrupt.
	Joe Trippie, who is an Edwards campaign advisor, uh said that uh uh Ms. Edwards hoped to underscore contrast with Mrs. Clinton, who recently had to give back uh, or Mr. Edwards, rather, uh underscore contrast with uh Mrs. Clinton who had to give back about 850 grand received through Norman Shue.
	Uh Trippy said in headline after headline, this has been a race without any ideas.
	It's been about who's raised the most money, who had been in the most financial trouble.
	Is the shoe scandal bigger than anyone else's scandal?
	So it's not because he's short of money.
	No, no, he's just trying to show up Hillary and pointing at Shu.
	Believe what you want in this.
	But the Washington Times is reporting that uh Mrs. Clinton's campaign has picked up a few key players from the George Soros funded America coming together.
	Now, what's interesting about that is that the FEC just fined the Americans coming together for misusing $70 million in the 2004 elections.
	At least four persons who worked for America coming together, uh, which the FEC recently fined 775,000 dollars, worked directly for the Clinton campaign or hold top positions with consulting firms hided by it.
	In addition, the group's former president, longtime Clinton aide Harold Ikies, has been identified as a volunteer advisor to the Clinton campaign.
	In FEC filings, a campaign listed a debt to Mr. Ickies of more than two thousand dollars for travel-related costs.
	It's just business as usual.
	Uh for the Clinton.
	Like I said, you just need to grab some yellow crime scene tape and just put it around.
	Clinton headquarters.
	We all know what's going on in there.
	This is uh this this is this is just uh uh mind-boggling.
	Of course, the Democrats just sit around and marvel.
	You know, there's this blog on the Washington Post today.
	Now, uh let me let me flip here.
	First, before I get to that, here is uh uh Beth Fuey writing in the AP about Mrs. Clinton's performance in a debate the other night.
	Analysis Dodges undercut Clinton image.
	Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign slogan is ready for change, ready to lead, yet she's adopted the time-honored front-runner strategy of dodging the tough questions, contradicting the image of a strong leader.
	AP, this is a woman writing this.
	The former First Lady New York Senator refused to take a position on a range of substantive issues during the debate on Wednesday, from social security reform to U.S. troop deployments in Iraq to whether Israel, if threatened, has the right to attack Iran.
	She even ducked the question of which team she'd root for if her hometown Chicago Cubs meet the New York Yankees in the World Series.
	Scathing, scathing for drive-by coverage.
	By the way, I I got word Mrs. Clinton and her camp were seething at Tim Russert.
	For his audacity in asking those questions.
	Now I went to the Washington Post, there's a little blog, and it's amazing.
	They throw Russert under the bus in their analysis, and they claim that Hillary was the most presidential she's ever been, artfully dodging the question, but not with a shrill voice.
	It was sort of like reminding me those days.
	Remember how Clinton lied to the press all the time, and they just sat there and marveled at how good he was at it?
	And they, wow, what a great politician.
	Why, this guy, he lies better than anybody we've ever seen.
	And they marveled and they envied him.
	And we got stories throughout the campaign of Er at the presidency.
	Well, you know, these little white lies actually pretty good.
	They don't hurt anybody's feelings.
	Um spare a bunch of uh sadness and discord and so forth.
	This blog entry at the Washington Post, I think written by a woman too, if not mistaken.
	Basically the same thing.
	Well, Mrs. Clinton was so good in dodging these questions.
	She was just, she didn't raise her voice, she didn't laugh, she didn't cackle.
	Uh, she she drew an invisible line in the sand for Russert with her left hand.
	She was masterful.
	And I said to myself, look at how the drive-bys in Washington will just massage this and spin this to make her look like a queen, even if it meant throwing r throwing rustered under the bus.
	Which they did.
	The Washington Post threw Russet under the bus.
	For the way he was behaving.
	Well, for Mrs. Clinton's artful.
	Making Russert look like he was a bully or what have you, which goes to the whole girl thing.
	You know, everybody's worried, wow, can we attack Hillary?
	You know, it's a this is a girl.
	There's certain things that uh that you can't do.
	By the way, remember when they were asked for favorite biblical scripture in the debate, and Mrs. Clinton said hers was the golden rule.
	Actually, the golden rule's not referenced in the Bible, but the verse is uh, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
	I think that's a good rule for politics.
	I was wondering, does that mean we can lop off the heads of terrorists, Mrs. Clinton?
	Do unto others?
	I'll tell you what it's this this is this is just code words.
	Uh, and I I think this is this is pretty gutsy for her to say the golden rule.
	Because it perfectly describes the way the Clintons go about dealing with their opponents.
	She's basically saying, screw everybody else before they screw you.
	Thus, get some FBI files.
	Thus, partner up with George Soros and get a bunch of front groups that apparently are just independent think tanks, 501c3 is what you're actually Hillary front groups.
	And you get ready to screw anybody before they screw you.
	So do unto others as you would have them do unto you is not the way Mrs. Clinton operates.
	Ha, welcome back.
	Nice to have you.
	Rush Limboy's always having more fun than a human being.
	Should be allowed to have.
	I find it funny.
	John Edwards says Washington is awash with too much money.
	And his system is corrupt.
	Where have we heard that before?
	Senator McCain, that's where we need campaign finance reform.
	Because the money is out there corrupting everybody.
	Well, what does Edwards want to do?
	He wants even more money in Washington.
	Your tax dollars, folks.
	He wants more money in Washington for him to play with, but too much money going to Canada corrupts the system.
	Then why does he insist on sending even more money to Washington?
	Things these people get away with saying.
	Here's the Hill.com.
	$600,000 aimed at Clinton as a headline, sensing that Senator Clinton will win a Democrat nomination, a Republican Party's operatives are stepping up their political attacks in a former first lady, but they are wary of going too far with their criticisms because she is a woman.
	As with other Democrat White House hopefuls, Republican strategists are concerned that extremely aggressive rhetoric against Clinton could backfire.
	However, they point out that they're devoting significant resources to defeat her.
	Well, that's comforting.
	They are devoting significant resources to.
	Oh, you mean they're going to try to beat her?
	Well, that's good to hear, isn't it?
	Huh.
	Wary of going too far.
	Extremely aggressive rhetoric could backfire.
	Richard Collins, a wealthy Texas businessman and a leading organizer of Stop Her Now.
	A political committee devoted to opposing Clinton told a Hill that his group will spend 500 to 600 grand between now and February targeting her candidacy.
	Stop her now will use humor in its attacks against Clinton to make them more appealing to swing voters.
	Its website features anti-Clinton cartoons and jokes of the week.
	It also has posted a spoof of the Tonight Show, which an unflattering parody of Clinton plays the role of Johnny Carson.
	You know, we see this playing out on the Democrats say, why do you think Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards are out there ripping into Hillary rather than their husbands?
	Because they're afraid.
	They're afraid of it because he can't hit the girl.
	And Mrs. Clinton, folks, she is an expert at playing the victim.
	But I just want to ask you, those of you who have seen uh one flew over the cuckoo's nest, at any time in that movie did the character of Nurse Ratchet come across to you as a victim.
	The real nurse Ratchet didn't want to be a victim.
	Mrs. Clinton does, which ought to insult every feminist out there, but of course it won't, because whatever it takes Hillary win, the feminists will support.
	But this thing about Hillary being a girl, this is just another wall that the drive-by's have erected to guilt everybody into shutting up.
	You can't attack her.
	Why she's a woman.
	Plus she Hillary.
	Who do you think you are?
	Look what happened to Russia in the Washington Post.
	They threw him overboard for a tough question.
	So it's just political correctness.
	Can't be mean to the girl.
	It's akin to saying that Bollinger, Lee Bollinger, he was rude.
	He was rude, he was impolite, he shouldn't have said anything.
	And Mont Mood's not even a girl.
	We know of.
	We do know he's not very tall.
	As Jonah Goldberg said today, he might even need a step ladder to get to the urinal.
	But he's not a girl.
	Were they true to their beliefs, though?
	Uh, you know, they'd be they they'd be shouting about feminism, and I am woman, I can do anything, you can do better.
	I can open my own damn doors.
	I'm just as strong as any damn man.
	If Mrs. Clinton are being true to feminism, and if feminism are really something that was going to launch her, she'd wouldn't be playing the victim card.
	She'd be out there attacking these people and making it be a Lady Thatcher.
	Lady Thatcher, Goldemay, are they ever played the victim?
	Indiri Gandhi.
	Never played the victim, just as Nurse Ratchet never played the victim.
	So the key question, key question that needs to be asked every single time this happens is there anything I have said that's not true?
	If so, prove it.
	Whenever somebody says something about her, whenever somebody asks her question, whatever somebody levels of charge, wait a minute, is there something about this is not true?
	We have let the drive-bys and the politically correct among us guilt us, embarrass us, take away jobs, keep everybody timid.
	Uh you know, this is presidential campaign.
	We need to get over all this and demand the truth.
	Regardless, the poor little woman act that she might display now and then.
	Mike in Kettering, Ohio.
	Nice to have you.
	I'm glad you waited and welcome.
	Hey, Rush.
	Um Hillary by saying she's not going to bring home the troops, has done it again.
	She just won the presidential election.
	And let me tell you why I think this.
	The Libs and the Democrats are going to vote for her no matter what she says.
	But you've got the independents who's not happy with the Republican Party, but they support the war.
	You got the Republicans who are not happy with Bush and his administration, but they support the war.
	Now they don't have to feel guilty about voting for Hillary because she's going to keep the war going and she's not going to bring the troops home.
	And I say she won the election.
	I think it was a smart move on her part.
	Uh I think I think you're misinterpreting what these independents are going to think.
	I don't think independents are fooled into thinking you're a bit Reagan Democrats, basics, what you're talking about here.
	Not independents.
	We're talking about Reagan Democrats.
	They don't want a quagmart.
	They don't the the the the Bush's approval ratings in the war are low in part because the very people you're talking about are just impatient and tired of the fact we haven't kicked butt.
	And now that we're starting to, look at the polls.
	Surge is working, people's approval ratings come.
	Mrs. Clinton is not going to kick butt.
	I mean, she's going to be trying to figure a way to get them out of there, but she's not going to be able to do it immediately and so forth.
	Too soon to say she's won the presidency.
	Nobody can know the future.
	I don't want you thinking that way.
	That's defeatist and doom and gloom.
	I know you think it's reality, but it isn't reality yet, because the election's still over a year away.
	I guess because Mrs. Clinton is a girl, we would then be safe from terrorists because terrorists wouldn't invade her space or her country because she's a girl and you can't attack the girl, right?
	I know they didn't care about the.
	I'm making a point, Mr. Snerdley.
	Of course they don't care about Cizo.
	This this business that she's a woman and we can't actively campaign against her.
	The Republicans can't.
	Uh well, the modern incarnation of it started with Rick Lazio.
	Uh when he invaded her space to give her a piece of paper, a pledge on some campaign financial reform proposal he had, and the drive by's went, ha, ha, huh?
	He's attacking.
	Anyway, you know, you got to hand it to the drive-bys.
	I I have a story here from McClatchy newspapers.
	They own the Sacramento Bee, the Fresno B. And the uh reporter is a guy named Greg Gordon.
	And the headline is this Ohio and Florida laws could dampen Democrat voting.
	Let me just give you a couple paragraphs here.
	Uh Ohio and Florida, which provided the decisive electoral votes for President Bush's two razor thin.
	Second one wasn't razor thin.
	National election triumphs have enacted laws that election experts say will help Republicans impede Democrat leading minorities from voting in 2008.
	Backers of the new laws say they're aimed at curbing curbing vote fraud.
	But the statutes also could facilitate a controversial Republican tactic known as vote caging, which the GOP attempted in Ohio and Florida in 2004 before public disclosures foiled the efforts.
	Said Joseph Rich, a former Justice Department voting rights chief in the Bush administration, who's now with the lawyers committee for civil rights.
	If there's a if the name civil rights in a group, they're a bunch of libs.
	That's all you need to know.
	Caging, used in the past to target poor minorities in heavily Democrat dis uh precincts, entails sending mass mailings to certain voters and using the undelivered letters to compile lists of voters for eligibility changes.
	As the high-stakes ground war escalates heading into next year's elections, Republicans have led the charge for an array of revisions to state voting rights laws, especially in key battleground states.
	Republican political appointees at Justice Department's civil rights division have endorsed some of the measures.
	See, if you go on and read this whole story, that's why I say you've got to hand it to the drive-by's here.
	If you read this whole story, you will find that they know exactly how to paint a picture to fit their agenda, because by the end of the article, you are supposed to endorse the notion that it is better for us as a country to let tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, dead people, non-citizens, and felons let them all vote.
	Then it is for a few dozen voters to be marginally inconvenienced by having to show their eligibility to vote.
	And of course, the story says poor and women and minorities are hit hardest by this.
	The root of the issue.
	People against eligibility testing are in fact against laws which render felons and the like ineligible to vote.
	So rather than stand up for legal voting, this story tries to get the reader to believe, you know what?
	It's it's such an inconvenience for some of these few that are gonna have trouble getting their photo ID or whatever it is.
	We maybe forget that.
	Just let go on the way it is, because this is penalizing these poor minorities.
	And so that's that's the um uh the the purpose the headline of the story ought to be stopping voter fraud hurts democrats rather than Ohio Florida laws could dampen Democrat voting, could dampen illegal Democrat voting if we want to be accurate about it.
	Who's next?
	Andrew in Williamsburg, Virginia.
	I'm glad that you uh waited.
	Welcome to the program.
	Andrew.
	Testing one, two, three, four.
	Andrew is not there.
	Uh who is next on the uh program?
	Bob in Voorhees, New Jersey.
	Thank you, sir, for calling.
	Hello.
	Hello?
	Oh, uh Bob McGee, yeah, from uh uh New Jersey.
	Uh yeah, I was uh the what I want to talk about was uh the uh who's actually responsible for the Iraq war.
	Uh it's not you know, they keep throwing around who, you know, President Bush.
	But actually, if you go back to the Carter administration and see where he allowed the Shah of Iran to be deposed, and after he was deposed uh to fight the Iranians, he empowered the Shah of Iran, which which allowed the uh uh the radical Muslim factions to rise to power and really gave him power that uh Wait, wait, you I think you misspoke.
	Uh we got rid of the Shah of Iran.
	How do we empower the Shah of Iran?
	Well well, we empowered uh the uh Saddam Hussein.
	Right, okay, that's right.
	Yeah, the the Shah uh posed.
	Yeah, I did uh misspeak there.
	But uh it allowed the radical Muslim factions to rise to power that they didn't have because under British colonialism uh before, you know, in in the uh early 1900s, most of these factions were basically under control and they were very humane.
	Uh they didn't have the uh terrorist attacks that you have today, and uh they didn't they didn't have uh and a lot of the uh one of the sad parts is uh a lot of these uh uh Arabs and Palestinians aren't uh Muslim, they're actually Christians.
	And uh you go into uh different parts of what we call Israel today, they still call Palestine.
	There's big factions of uh Palestinians there that are Christians.
	And uh so when people say you know Palestinian, they're labeled I believe incorrectly.
	And the same uh unfortunately in Islam, if you change your religion to Christianity, uh you got the death sentence.
	Uh you get your head lopped off.
	Well, look at this is this is I see where you're going with this.
	Uh until Jimmy Carter brought his incompetence to the White House, none of this was a problem.
	You're right, you the only name you haven't mentioned, I'm sure you were going to get there was the Ayatollah Ruala Homeini.
	Uh who uh the the vacuum left in Iran after we got rid of the Shah led to Khomeini, and that led to the American hostage crisis.
	Uh the whole Carter presidency was a nightmare.
	And of course, where is he today?
	He ranks with great stature near the top of the Democrat Party.
	He's also a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
	Uh which is discredited the Nobel.
	Well, it got discredited long before he got it.
	Uh yeah, uh but see, and the the modern political element is to blame Bush for for everything.
	Uh and then the uh historical record is is not relevant because it doesn't fit the narrative that is out there right now, and that is that Bush is creating terrorists because we went to Iraq.
	By the way, that's uh I mentioned this earlier.
	The the Wall Street Journal has a piece by Frederick Kagan that totally dispels the notion, and we'll link to that.
	I think it's opinion journal.com, so it's free sight, and we can we'll link to that uh on the website of the.
	By the way, which reminds me we have linked uh we've the first segment of the first hour of this program is now a YouTube video right from our ditto cam.
	And uh the link for it is at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	We just got a call.
	This is going to be very interesting.
	I just heard from HR.
	And we got a call from uh a Reuters reporter.
	And the about a half hour ago, to Reuters reporter, one what is this phony soldiers come.
	At least he called.
	At least he called.
	So HR said, Look, I'm in the middle of doing the show now.
	But you can go to our website, go to Rush Limbaugh.com.
	It's all there.
	Transcript.
	Video, everything, putting the story straight.
	All there.
	The Reuters reporter said, I'll go there.
	And we're going to talk.
	Well, I'm not, but HR is going to talk to him after the show.
	We will see.
	It's going to be very interesting to see if he does read the transcript.
	It's just eight minutes of video he's got to watch to get the whole truth here.
	If it sinks in.
	If it actually I I predict, but he doesn't deny saying phony soldiers.
	No, of course he doesn't deny saying phony soldiers.
	He was talking about a phony soldier.
	What they're talking about is he was talking about uniform troops that disagree with the war.
	He was not talking about that.
	He's talking about a genuine phony soldier.
	Of course, of course he said phonies.
	Well, that's offensive to some people.
	So I'm going with the story.
	That's that's how they think, folks.
	That's that's that's how they'll find their grain of truth to keep we'll just see.
	Well, make you a prediction.
	We won't know till Monday.
	Uh well, I'll know this afternoon.
	Have no way of telling you maybe update the website with the information on my prediction, but that's how it works.
	So he doesn't deny saying phony soul.
	No, no, no.
	A total fraud.
	Well, but he that that term, phony soldier, that's I can see why people are offended by that.
	This is this is the mindset.
	I gotta go.
	Quick timeout.
	It's an EIB Profit Center break time.
	We'll be back and continue after this.
	Actually, 18, 19, and 21.
	Uh, Wednesday night.
	We're gonna go back to Democrat debate.
	I want to hear a couple things here.
	PMS NBC Live, Dartmouth College.
	Tim Russers says to Mrs. Clinton, do you believe that the Clinton Foundation and the library and massage parlor in Little Rock should publish all the donors who give contributions to those two entities?
	Well, Tim, I actually co-sponsored uh legislation uh that would have sitting presidents uh reveal any donation to their presidential uh library, and uh I think that's a good policy.
	And the foundation.
	Well, it would be the same, because that's where the the uh uh the library comes from.
	Until such legislation, would they voluntarily, the Clinton Library and Clinton Foundation make their donors public?
	Well, you'll have to ask them.
	What's your recommendation?
	Well, I don't talk about my private conversations with my husband, but I'm sure he'd be uh happy to consider that.
	Another Dodge!
	She wouldn't tell us what she thinks of making public the list of donors at the Clinton Library and Massage parlor.
	She's probably gonna talk to him about torture and a number of other things.
	Who knows what she talks to him about in private?
	She's never gonna tell us now.
	Uh yesterday the New York City to Clinton Global Initiative press conference.
	Unidentified reporter says, Why didn't Senator Clinton answer the question in a debate last night about the funding of your massage parlor?
	She just thinks I'm entitled to speak for myself, just like I think she's entitled to speak for herself.
	And she's got no business being asked to speak for me in a presidential debate, just like I don't try to speak for her unless I know what her position is.
	I don't think I should disclose it unless there is some conflict of which I am aware, and there's not, because a lot of people gave me money with the understanding that they could give anonymously.
	And some of them were Republicans.
	They may not want to ruin their reputation in their own party.
	Oh, the Republicans gave them a massage parlor.
	Their reputation is ruined.
	And the press starts laughing.
	What a guy.
	So uh I think it's important to know who funded the darn thing and how much.
	And so we don't know this.
	We don't know what foreign countries have.
	Well, we have a pretty good idea.
	Chickification of the news, perfectly good example of it.
	Wednesday night on a CBS evening news with Katie Kurick.
	She did a report on the evening news.
	The CBS evening where they've got 22 minutes to do the news of the day.
	She did a report on the happiness gap.
	It's called the happiness gap, and it's big and getting bigger.
	In the 70s, women were happier than men.
	Today, according to two new studies, they're not.
	Women may be more unhappy these days because they're often holding down two jobs, working for a paycheck, and as the CEO of their households.
	Men don't want to do the dishes, and according to these latest studies, they aren't.
	While they're working fewer hours than they used to, they're not using the extra time doing household chores or anything else they deem unpleasant.
	No wonder they're feeling better.
	Yet another study found more working fathers today feel pulled between their jobs and their families.
	So apparently these days, there's enough unhappiness to go around.
	Oh my God.
	Folks, this is the CBS evening news.
	And they're having an argument over men won't do the dishes.
	On the CBS evening news.
	And this has made women miserable.
	They were happier in the 70s.
	Wonder why that might be.
	If it's even true, this is such patented BS.
	Uh reminds me of the story from Great Britain about this.
	Some guy, a European Union guy came out and said, you know, the pay gap in uh European Union is too great, and it's because women have to spend too much time at home, and they guy they want to make it voluntary at first.
	Guys have to give up some hours at work, spend the time at home, so the wife can leave home and go out and climb the corporate ladder.
	How in the world?
	A happiness gap, and it's always women, minorities, victims, hardest hit.
	Uh no wonder men are happy.
	And of course, the underlying theme of all this is nobody's really happy.
	That country is so unfair and it's so rotten, it's so prejudiced.
	It's so bigoted.
	Nobody's happy.
	And we're going to do a story on the CBS Evening News to tell you, even if you're happy, you shouldn't be happy.
	Because there are so many people unhappy.
	And it's not right for you to be happy if so many people, especially women aren't happy.
	This is what passes for hard news on the CBS Evening News with Katie Courick.
	It's just, it's just very sad.
	It's just very sad to see a once great institution like this be devoted to the chicken of the news.
	Back in a moment.
	All right, uh, I just found out uh from H.R. that Nora O'Donnell of PMS NBC called and uh wanted to find out if uh Rush is saying it soldiers who were against the war are phony.
	She was told no.
	He was talking in the context of soldiers who misrepresent themselves or what they report as having taken place this way public opinion like Jesse McBeth.
	She wasn't familiar with that story.
	Of course, PMS NBC wasn't familiar with Jesse McBeth.
	So she was directed to the website, Rush Limbaugh.com.
	YouTube video, ditto cam video, transcript of everything Rush said.
	Uh she says, Well, what about these seven soldiers from the 101st Airborne?
	As an example of what Rush was talking about.
	Uh, we haven't talked about seven soldiers from the 101st Airborne.
	That's what Media Matters is saying I was talking about.
	You haven't talked about seven soldiers from the 101st Airborne.
	Hadn't commented on those soldiers and wouldn't proclaim them as phony anyway.
	They've never proclaimed a uniformed soldier doing his duty as a phony anything.
	It's been nothing but total respect here.
	She said, Well, there are soldiers who are for withdrawal.
	Yeah, they are.
	So are they phony?
	For the second time, no.
	I told you they're gonna get caught up in this.
	So she's been directed to the website.
	Uh, and and she's the second info, babe, the second reporter that's called.
	Uh, they go to the website.
	It'll be interesting to see what they learn, what what what permeates and penetrates the narrative that they have established on this.
	Uh she thanked HR and said, Would Rush ever do an interview with me?
	And uh HR said, probably not in general.
	He doesn't do interviews with anybody, but it would help to have a large audience if you want.
	Go, HR.
	So the YouTube video, if you missed the top of the program, I don't even need to describe it.
	Just watch it.
	It's at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	The link for the YouTube video is right there, as well as the transcript.
	Also want to remind you, Monday afternoon at one o'clock, we'll be uh playing the taped interview I did Wednesday afternoon with Justice Clarence Thomas of the United States Supreme Court.
	His book, My Grandfather's Son, is out on Monday.
	Powerful motivational, inspirational story of his life.
	You will hear a side of him that you have never heard and seen, and very little has been reported about because of course he also is a target of people who consider him a threat.
	Hope you all have a great weekend.
	I plan on it to get great NFL games coming up this weekend.
	Little golf thrown in.
	Be back here Monday.
