Hi, how are you?
This is Rush Limbaugh, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Heather Rush Limbaugh program, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Our telephone number, 800-282-2882, the email address, rush at EIBNet.com.
Your phone calls coming up.
New York Times today, Bill Clinton's suggestion that his wife faced a Republican-style swiftboat attack during and after the last debate drew a rebuke yesterday from Barry Obama, who said, I was pretty stunned by that statement.
This story is all about Clinton trying to stick the attacks on Hillary with swiftboat imagery.
What really killed Carrie, you know, the swiftboats were one thing.
And they were right on the money, and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.
What really killed Carrie was the flip-flopper thing.
I voted for it before I voted against it.
And that's what's got Hillary on this driver's license thing.
That and the way they're trying to cover it up, you combine the fact that she flip-flopped, which we're going to show you again here in a minute, let you hear, and now that they're trying to come out and blame everybody else for piling on her.
This is not the stuff of future presidents.
Let's go back.
I want to get this on the record one more time, how this all started.
It was October 30th, the day before Halloween.
And it happened right here on this program.
I said this.
What is amazing to me about this is how Mrs. Clinton gets to be quiet when she wants to be quiet.
This is her state.
The fact that she's a presidential candidate only adds to the fact she should be asked about this.
The fact that she's a senator from the state of New York and is not being peppered by the press.
What do you think of the governor's plans here for illegal immigrants getting driver's license?
It's amazing how she's able to skate.
She's given a pass.
It's too radioactive for her, writes the AP.
Man, oh man, oh man, what I have loved over several occasions in the last 18 years for you Dunkoffs in the media to think certain issues were too radioactive for me to talk about.
Good grief.
Woman doesn't have to say diddly squat about anything, and she doesn't.
Then the next day, or that night, actually, in Philadelphia, maybe it was the next day.
I'm not sure which.
It was the next day.
Yeah, so it was October 29th then that I made the original statement.
On Tuesday, October 30th in Philadelphia, Drexel University, Tim Russert said, Senator Clinton, governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer, has proposed giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
He told the Nashua, New Hampshire editorial board, it makes a lot of sense.
She told that, why does it make a lot of sense to give an illegal immigrant a driver's license, Mrs. Clinton?
Well, what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is fill the vacuum left by the failure of this administration to bring about comprehensive immigration reform.
We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally.
They are undocumented workers.
They are driving on our roads.
The possibility of them having an accident that harms themselves or others is just a matter of the odds.
It's probability.
So what Governor Spitzer is trying to do is to fill the vacuum.
Now, Chris Dodd then disagrees and Hillary jumps in and flip-flops.
Russert said, does anyone here, anyone on this panel, believe an illegal immigrant should not have a driver's license?
The idea that we're going to extend this privilege here of a driver's license, I think, is troublesome.
The license is a privilege, and that ought not to be extended, in my view.
I just want to add, I did not say that it should be done, but I certainly recognize why Governor Spitzer is trying to do it.
And we have failed.
We have failed.
No, no, no.
You said yes.
No.
You thought it made sense to do it.
No, I didn't, Chris.
Yes, she did.
So that's what got all of this started.
She was humiliated.
She was embarrassed.
She flip-flops.
She did it.
Kerry.
Nobody has to swiftboat her.
All swiftboating is, by the way, is telling the truth about somebody.
Generally, telling the truth about a Democrat.
Well, this caused great ramifications in the Clinton household, ladies and gentlemen.
Our microphones were there.
So we'll see if the rehearsals help out in the next debate.
Meanwhile, it's Monday in Las Vegas.
Clinton addressing the American Postal Workers annual conference, a portion of his remarks.
The point I'm here to make to you is, whoever you're for, this is a really big election.
We saw what happened the last seven years when we made decisions in elections based on trivial matters.
When we listened to people make snide comments about whether Vice President Gore was too stiff.
He is.
When they made dishonest claims about the things that he said that he'd done in his life.
When that scandalous Swift vote ad was run against Senator Kerry.
It's true.
When there was an ad that defeated Max Clayton in Georgia, a man that left half his body in Vietnam.
So they put an ad on comparing him to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
They did not.
Why am I saying this?
Because I had the feeling at the end of that last debate, we were about to get into cutesy land again.
Yes, swift voting.
Hillary was swift voted.
That's what got it all started.
That caused Obama to say, that's really strange.
Because it was Democrats attacking a Democrat.
Other Democrat opponents and a drive-by media guy, Russert, you know, swift votes are when Republicans lie about Democrats.
So the left-wing drive-by media on hardball, they had a reaction to Swiftboat comment.
We've got Mike Barnacle here and Lois Romano about the Washington Post about Clinton's Swiftboat comment.
You know what?
When she said, I'm your girl at that labor debate out in Chicago, when she said, I'm your girl, I thought that was the best line.
That was cat balloo.
That was the hot chick.
I'm sorry, the hot woman doing something well, saying, I can beat those guys.
But when she gets her husband to come in like this big teddy bear saying, leave my wife alone, everybody goes, wait a minute, she's running for leader of the world, and you've got to come in and defend her?
Stop it away.
He's the first defender.
I wonder whether he wants her to win or not, or he just wants to look like he wants her to win.
Yay!
See, there it is.
I knew this is bubbling up under the surface out there.
Wonder whether he wants her to win or not, or he just wants to look like he wants her to win.
Because, you know, we've got a point here.
Hillary can't defend herself.
Got to send old Bill out there to the Postal Workers Union in Las Vegas to say that she is being swiftboated.
So at that timeframe on Monday, there's still play on this card.
She's a girl.
You can't hit the girl.
Ann Lewis was on MSNBC Live yesterday with David Schuster, who said former President Clinton said in Nevada, he's talking about the driver's license dust up and started comparing this to the way Kerry got swift voted.
So Ann Lewis, do you believe that Hillary Clinton's being swift boated?
I believe that in the 2008 elections, we are going to see attacks from the other side from the Republican Party that are going to be very similar to what we saw in 2004.
And every Democrat.
And that's President Clinton was talking about yesterday.
No, but I think, let me do it this way then.
Attacks that get personal and attacks that go beyond the issues that are at stake and attacks that, frankly, unfairly do not give the other person an opportunity to answer.
Yeah, I think that's what he was talking about.
Okay, now they've got to recharacterize what Clinton was saying because they can't let this swift boat thing survive because it didn't work.
So now they try to put new words in Clinton's mouth and words in his mouth is not what he's interested in.
Okay, we just got three more bites, I think.
Yep, three more bites, and we're going to get to your phone calls, but we've got to close the loop on this Hillary thing.
These bites are of Mrs. Clinton on CNN in a situation room yesterday, last night.
And in these three bites, you will hear how she's still discombobulated about all this, was totally, totally taken off track by the question on illegal aliens getting driver's licenses in New York.
First question from Candy Crowley: What's your reaction to the criticism that you've gotten at all this sort of thing from that flip-flop answer that you gave?
I wasn't at my best the other night.
We've had a bunch of debates, and I wouldn't rank that up in my very top list.
But I've answered probably, oh, I don't know, more than 5,000 questions in the last 10 months.
And I've been very clear about where I stand and what I want to do for the country.
No, you've not.
That's the whole point.
That's why you're in trouble.
You've not been clear about anything.
Those of us who know Mrs. Clinton know exactly what her agenda is.
It is government control of as much of life in this country as possible.
That's the agenda.
She can't say that.
Why do you think she scaled back the health care proposal to something like 10 pages to make it look like it's less onerous and obtrusive, intrusive than it is?
It's a scam.
The whole thing is a sham.
And who, by the way, is counting the number of questions that she's answered over the last 10 months?
How do they get to the figure 5,000?
She throws the number out there.
Still refuses to answer the question.
And the next bite, Candy Crowley says, driver's licenses for illegals.
You've said you broadly support what the governors are doing.
Well, let me narrow the question down.
If I wrote a story that said, absent a broad illegal immigration bill, Hillary Clinton agrees about giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
Is that correct?
No, what I've said is that I support what governors are trying to do.
And governors are on the front lines because of the failures to get comprehensive immigration reform.
There are already eight states that issue driver's licenses without any verification of citizenship.
That's a decision that the governors and legislatures and the people of those states have made.
I understand.
That's why people think that you're not answering the question.
Well, but I think that if you go back and look at the complexity of this issue, I don't think a lot of these hard questions lend themselves to raising your hand.
And I know that that's easier in a 30-second context to try to do.
So Clinton's telling her what to say.
It was Clinton himself the other day that said, these things are too complicated, Limbaugh.
You can't answer a question like that.
30 seconds?
I mean, it doesn't lend itself.
Soundbite.
You know that.
So here's Clinton out there saying, Mrs. Clinton, the soundbite is too complex, Candy.
We just can't.
She is now trying to slough this off on the governors.
She is not answering the question.
She still will not tell us which side is really true because she's answered it both ways.
Is she in favor of illegals getting driver's licenses or not?
She will not say.
So the next question.
Well, you said after the debate, I don't think that all of those men came after me because I'm a woman, but because I'm the frontrunner.
Yet you have your people out there who support you, Geraldine Ferraro, Eleanor Squeal, who said it looked like the Anita Hill hearings, that this is sexism.
So this is a mixed message.
It's the sort of thing that people look at and say, you know, the Clinton campaign wants to have it both ways.
I know that in a campaign where people are trying to score political points and I am ahead, I'm going to be attacked.
That's what happens in campaigns.
I don't have any problem with that.
If they want to use their energy attacking me, that's their choice.
I'm going to use my energy focusing on a new energy policy and so much else.
I'm not running anybody else's campaign.
And I love what Harry Truman said.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
And I'm really comfortable in the kitchen.
I tell you, that's as specious as the Ann Lewis soundbite we played mere moments ago talking about personal attacks.
What was the personal attack here?
Mrs. Clinton, you seem to have said two different things.
See, with the Clintons, any criticism from anybody is a personal attack.
But this is these two things, these last two bites, the biggest non-answers that you could imagine.
And it's all because she doesn't dare tell anybody what she really thinks.
In fact, she even flip-flopped here, trying to have it both ways.
Those attacks weren't because I'm a woman, but don't forget I'm a woman.
That last line, and I'm really comfortable in the kitchen.
I'm really comfortable.
So, no, those attacks weren't because I'm a woman, but don't forget I'm a woman.
When was she in the kitchen?
When was she last in the kitchen?
Steve, in Lakeland, Florida.
You're next as we go back to the phones.
Nice to have you with us on the EIB network.
Meghadittos from Lakeland, Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, I've got a, I have an issue every time I hear this experience thing with Hillary.
You know, I've been married for a lot of years and been in the same field of work, and I don't know how my wife could claim to be experienced in what I do.
She can't put it on her resume.
How does she get away with that?
Well, because she was in the White House and everybody knows that she was co-running the show.
Well, but do we really know unless we open up the archives?
Look, who do you think picked Janet Reno for the Attorney General?
Hillary Clinton, who do you think picked Jamie Gorelic?
Hillary Clinton.
Who do you think was given the task to nationalize one-seventh of the U.S. economy?
Hillary Clinton.
Who was it that stage-managed and produced the Paula Jones lawsuit and botched it?
Hillary Clinton.
Who was it that was in charge of the bimbo eruptions for 35 years?
That's her experience primarily.
She has been in charge of making sure that all the women who have come forward or who were planning on it got trashed and discredited.
There's certain things that we know and certain things that because of what we know, we just have to accept.
Does your wife go to work with you every day?
No.
No, so she's she doesn't, but if your business was in your home and your wife was part of it, then you'd have to say she has some experience.
Look, all I'm telling you is about these documents.
If there's something in there that really showed her off well, they'd get them out.
They would get them out.
The idea that they're not getting them out and that they're dragging us out, dragging their feet, is causing people to have suspicions that there are things in there she doesn't want people to see.
And when that type of speculation starts, you know, there's really no stopping it until they decide to deal with it directly.
James in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
How's it going?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Good.
I'm a college student here in Cedar Rapids at a community college, and last night Barack Obama was here and he was speaking.
And I just wanted to know your opinion on his poll or on his race because I thought it was horrible.
I have never heard so many contradicting statements in one speech.
What is your opinion on Barack Obama?
Well, he's a liberal.
I mean, all of these liberals are speaking in platitudes and phrases and slogans.
They don't dare tell you what they really think.
Did you hear anything last night of a specific nature about, say, how to fix illegal immigration or what to do about the health care so-called crisis in America?
No, I never heard how to fix it, how he was going to fix it once, never.
No, you heard things like, we need to revitalize our image in the world.
We need to make sure that people respect us again.
We need change in Washington and we need to change the status quo.
Things like that, right?
Things like, I promised to do, and I promise to do this, but no hows, exactly.
Right.
And did he have much energy when he was speaking?
No, and I've never heard so many ums, A's, it's, buts.
You know, he said button A.
He had more defluencies in his speech than a high school girl.
Yeah.
Come up for air in there, Snurley.
Well, you know, there was a story yesterday, James.
By the way, are you inclined to vote for Democrat or Obama?
Is that why you went?
No, I am hardcore conservative.
Oh, okay.
All right, so he just went to be educated.
Well, it's very good.
Very good of you.
They said Obama is going to turn up the heat on Hillary.
He can't turn up the heat on a teapot, folks.
This shows it.
Hi, and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Let's see.
All right, let's go to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Let's talk to Ginger.
We haven't had a female on the program yet.
I don't think yet today.
Ginger might be first there, right?
Hi, Ginger.
Hi, Rush.
How's it going?
It's never better, Ginger.
Thank you.
It's nice and chilly here in Michigan with senators like, I don't know, Levin, Stabacau, Conyers, Kanyat and I.
So, what is up with crying Eskimos?
Are we bringing them down too?
I'm not following you here.
I was listening to you and that young lady who was crying over the loss of her culture.
Yeah.
And I'm in college.
And a requirement of being in college at 36 years old is I have to take a diversity class.
And what I have learned is that I'm a bad, bad person for being white.
Oh, I see where you're heading.
And I'm just very curious then, you know, instead of telling me I'm bad, telling everybody to bring themselves back up.
You know, no one can, I can't save them.
Why don't they save themselves?
Well, you're dealing with political correctness.
You're dealing with a whole bunch of clichés that the left believes about things, and you're making the mistake of taking it all personally.
Oh, I know.
And at first, I was really mad.
I just wanted to burn my textbook, but to get my degree, I have to take the class.
But the funny thing is, is that I keep telling my instructor, I'm not 18.
I don't believe this garbage.
Is the instructor trying to tell you that diversity is what has made the country great?
No, he tells me, actually, I like my instructor.
He's very open.
He lets me speak because I'm very vocal.
But the textbook we have to read basically says that the white man and the white woman have made all the other minorities stay in poverty.
We won't let them strive to get higher.
We won't have it.
So we've got our sum on them to keep them down.
We hear these horror stories all over the place.
What's in textbooks in high school and college, diversity and so forth?
The white man has kept all the other minorities down.
We all know the truth.
I don't care whether you're white, black, Hispanic.
I don't care whether you're green.
I don't care what.
If you are a minority and if you're in bad shape financially, you've got the odds are that you vote Democrat and the odds are that you're waiting for the Democrats to get you out of the mess that they put you in in the first place.
To suggest that white people have this giant conspiracy to keep money away from certain other groups of people is simply ridiculous.
It's just absurd.
But this is the political correctness and liberalism that's infested the modern educational system.
Jeff in Bangor, Maine, you're next on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Mega Moose Dittos from Maine, Russia.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, not to regurgitate some old Clinton material, but boy, Hillary really earned the title of Slick Hilly last night with her response to Candy Crowley's question about the illegal aliens and the license debate.
You know, she completely skirted the issue and yet gave an answer that targeted local politicians and sort of said, hey, as your president, I'll sort of be hands off and let you address these issues on your own.
I promise people.
I know that's, I knew that's how some people were going to interpret this.
That Mrs. Clinton believes in federalism and she's going to let the states run the show on these kinds of things.
You just wait.
That is precisely the way she's trying to fool people.
She has no intention.
She doesn't believe in that concept of federalism.
Federalism having limits and the states having rights.
Mrs. Clinton is going to try to grow the power and the size of the national federal government like it has never been grown before.
That was just an escape mechanism for not having to take a position on the real question, do you or do you not support driver's licenses for illegal immigrants?
I'm glad you called to get this straightened out, Jeff, because this is why I'm hosting, I can read the stitches on a fastball, analyze this stuff and keep people from going astray with tricks such as those pulled by the Clintons.
Now, I want to move on to President Sarkozy of France for just a second, big state dinner in Washington last night for him.
How many times in the last six years have you heard the liberals and the left say that the Bush administration, and Bush personally, has destroyed our image in the world?
Our allies hate us.
And we've got so much to do to rebuild our goodwill.
We have destroyed every bit of goodwill we ever built by going to Iraq and all this.
Have you noticed that since we got rid of, what's his name, Chirac in France and Gerhard Schroeder in Germany, have you noticed how wonderful our new allied relationships are?
This is why I say, ladies and gentlemen, that way, way, way down the road that historians who are not even born are going to write about this administration in a totally different way that it's being written about today.
Sarkozy comes over.
He wins in France on a full-fledged conservative platform and agenda, stunning everybody.
The Washington Post has a story today by Michael Obramowitz.
White House hails renewed ties with Europe.
French and German leaders are visiting.
Talks about Angela Merkel and Sarkozy.
And they have to go out and they have to get some quotes from some snarky Clinton administration types.
Daniel Benjamin, former Clinton administration official, said, yeah, the Europeans are making nice.
The animosities of the first Bush term are not ones they want to revisit.
And there are issues like Iran and Kosovo that need to be dealt with.
But they see the Bush administration as out of time, out of gas, obsessed by Iraq.
So their focus is on 2009 and after.
So here you've got this Clinton guy saying, don't buy this stuff, folks.
Sarkozy and Merkel are only coming here to make nice with this country because they know a Democrat's going to be elected and inaugurated in 2009.
You can't credit Bush with this.
We most certainly can.
Of course, we wouldn't, no comment on this would be complete without the haughty and arrogant Richard Holbrook, former U.S. ambassador to Germany and a top foreign policy advisor to Senator Clinton.
Said that Bush appears to be grasping the new opportunity presented by the changing politics of France and Germany, but the results on issues such as Iran are not in yet.
It's good for him to put on these shows with people like Sarkozy, but this administration doesn't seem to know how to do diplomacy at the highest levels to produce sustained positions.
Really?
Mr. Holbrook, Mr. Sarkozy and Angela Merkel were elected to positions in Germany while the Iraq debacle was going on.
They were elected because their populations wanted a change from the liberalism that had taken over their countries and still has a pretty hard grip in some places, the liberalism that you love.
So France and China do a one, or France and Germany do a 180.
And in Holbrook's view, well, this is a new opportunity presented by the changing politics of France.
Who changed the politics?
Who was it that caused this to happen?
It's like Bush isn't even here.
It's like the Bush administration is not even working on this kind of stuff.
And they are.
Then this question they don't know how to do diplomacy.
Mr. Holbrook, last time I looked, the State Department had a bunch of wusses who would refusing postings to Baghdad and our embassy there because it's too close to the front lines.
Yet you sit there and say nobody knows how to do diplomacy.
If diplomacy is the way to stop these kinds of conflicts that you don't like, then why don't you send the State Department expert, so-called, to go over there and show us how this is done.
If guns and explosions and mortar fire, jet planes are not the way to defeat people who have much of the same kind of ammo and artillery, then send your guys over there and show us how talking nice to the al-Qaeda clowns and Muki al-Sadr can solve this.
But your diplomatic experts don't want anywhere near Baghdad.
So it seems to me that these claims of diplomacy, and Bush doesn't know how to do it, and diplomacy is the only thing that will solve problems, if you are not willing to send the best diplomat you've got, quote unquote, into this firestorm area, then what good is it?
The hypocrisy of these people, the arrogance, the smugness, the condescension, you know, they just, those two characteristics rub me wrong as much as anything else.
We got Sarkozy sound bites here.
He understands American exceptionalism.
He spoke to a joint meeting of the House and Senate today.
If only American liberals and Democrats understood what Sarkozy understands.
Here is a portion of what he said.
To the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who with their own hands, their intelligence, and their hearts built the greatest nation in the world.
America did not say, come, and everything will be given to you.
Rather, she said, come.
And the only limit to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent.
Unbelievable.
We cut the applause because it went on and on and on.
But that is fabulous.
Do you think the liberals sitting in the House chamber hearing this started squirming around?
This guy understands more of why this is a great nation and what's going to keep it a great nation than American Democrats do, than American liberals do.
And he's willing, he won an election talking about this is a former ally, quote unquote, from the Democrats, who hates us.
Hey, French hate us.
We've lost our image in the world.
We've lost our reputation.
We've lost our standard.
Well, not with Nick Sarkozy, who just gave a 30-second, 32-second lesson on American exceptionalism that escapes most of the minds that you find on the left.
How about it?
It's not about handouts.
America didn't say come and everything will be given to you.
Here's the next bite.
The America that we love throughout the world embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance, another chance.
Because in America, failure is never the last word.
There is always another chance.
Here, in your country, on this soil, both the humblest and the most illustrious citizens alike know that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned.
That is what constitutes the moral value of America.
By the way, the drive-bys are calling Sarkozy Bush's new poodle.
Since Tony Blair has left office, they just can't stand this.
Bush was supposed to be a lame duck.
This wasn't what's supposed to be happening.
We can't have some foreigner coming over here and polluting the people of our country's minds with some myth about what this country is all about.
By the way, you know where Bush is today?
You know where Bush took Sarkozy today?
Mount Vernon.
And you know what?
They're having lunch, the dining room table in there.
I was just there in the main mansion at Mount Vernon is where Washington and Rochambeau planned the war.
Bush and Sarkozy.
They may be through having lunch there by now, but I knew that they were going up there.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back and continue after this.
I'll tell you what, folks, I am in a serious quandary here.
I am starting, I can sense it, the blue funk coming on.
I'm telling you, it's why I spent, I think I've spent way too much time on the Clintons again today, and it makes me think the show hasn't been as good as it could be, and this puts me in a blue funk when I think I have not met your expectations.
But I can't stop.
I mean, it requires that it be discussed and placed in context.
You heard the last call from the guy who thought Mrs. Clinton had sent a brilliant signal to the governors out there that she didn't leave him alone.
Ha!
No way.
I had to correct that.
I would have never gotten that call had I not talked about him in a blue funk having done it.
I feel like, you don't need to know.
It's a real quandary here.
I'm going to end up talking about these people.
You can't do it in 10 minutes.
They're all out there blabbering all over the place.
We got 30 minutes of sound bites from them every day.
Anyway, let's get back to something more enjoyable.
Two more Sarkozy bites from a joint meeting today of the House and the Senate.
This is rare what you're going to hear next from a European leader.
America liberated us.
And this is an eternal debt we owe America.
Every time, whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world, I think of what the American army did for France.
I think of them and I am sad as one is saddened to lose a member of one's family.
Isn't this so much more refreshing than to hear the drivel that's coming out of the Clintons or the whole Democrat presidential campaign?
In fact, do you realize if there were a Republican candidate who could simply speak or would, I know they all can't, would just speak of the country in this way And then meld that he's defending this country in a way that people in this country are not willing to do so anymore.
We get so many people in this country guilty over the oppressive nature of our occupation of the world and are stealing the rethor of all the other poor countries and then polluting the planet and destroying it with global warming.
We got so many people with their hands tied up and all wringing their hands over the evils and what's wrong with this country.
Here comes this guy from across the pond from Europe thanking America, understands what it's all about.
This is the ticket.
One more.
He acknowledges in this next bite that France needs to be stronger.
We need France to be stronger.
I just am determined to carry through with the reforms that my country has put off for all too long.
I will not turn back.
I will implement all of them because France has turned back for all too long.
I have come to present to you today of France that comes out to meet America to renew the covenant of friendship and alliance that Washington and Lafayette sealed in Yorktown together.
Let us be true to their memories.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I say this to you on behalf of the French people.
Long live the United States of America.
Long live France.
Long live French American friendship.
You got a standing O.
We cut the applause here for the sake of time constraints.
But that is just inspiring as it can be.
And especially flying in the face of all this rat gut that we've been subjected to for the last five years about how we're hated around the world and we've lost our image.
All of that, just a pack of lies.
And I'll tell you, you know what else I remember?
Sarkozy on 60 Minutes when Leslie Stahl wants to ask him about his divorce.
This is 60 Minutes we're talking.
We're not talking about entertainment tonight or some gossip show.
And for a woman, a serious newswoman journalist, look at what all they had to talk to Sarkozy about.
Look at what's In his mind and on his tongue, ready to say, ask him about his divorce.
And he did the right thing.
He got up and left.
And I've got more important things to do here.
This guy can teach a lot of Americans a lot of lessons that they're not being taught in this country by their fellow citizens anymore.
That was amazing.
I'm going to do a little lesson in the next hour.
If you think the news is bad, some of the election returns results from yesterday, if you think it's bad, I'm going to teach you how to look at Positively.
