Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
All right, a quick question here, folks.
If you watched the debate last night, and by the way, I want to apologize for hyping it.
It was a dud.
Nothing of note happened.
Talk about it in some detail, but not nearly as much as I hope because nothing happened.
But I just asked a quick question.
Did it appear to you that Wolf Blitzer was behaving as though he had, in fact, been warned?
Greetings, my friends, the Rush Limbaugh program.
It's Friday.
Let's go.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open live Friday.
Yip, Yahoo.
This day, ladies and gentlemen, the one day of the week where I, highly trained broadcast specialist and career leader, take one of the most noted and noteworthy career risks in all of major media.
And that is we go to the phones, we turn the content of the program over to you.
Rank amateurs.
Lovable, adorable, appreciated, but nevertheless, rank amateurs.
And that's what makes it fun.
So whatever you want to talk about is fine.
800-282-2882 is the number.
If you'd like to join the program, the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
A couple program notes.
In an hour from now, we'll be talking with Mark Levin about his book, Rescuing Sprite, and some other things.
He's already here.
He's in town.
There's a big restoration weekend thing going on at one of the local motels.
And Mark is here, and he'll be here in about an hour.
And on Monday, we're going to do something that we have not done on this program before.
Martha McCallum, who hosts a program on the Fox News Channel called Live Desk, airs at 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, has invited me on the program any number of times.
And of course, it's not possible because our programs air at the same time.
So she's suggested, well, why don't you come over and we'll do some pre-tape?
And I said, I can't do that because it's show prep and life is show prep.
And show prep is the show.
And I can't, you know, television.
You know, it's only going to be 10 minutes.
No, no, no.
It'll be 45 just for the makeup.
So anyway, I came up with an idea.
I said, Martha, why don't we simulcast a portion of my show with yours?
You get your Fox Tech people to put a camera in my radio studio.
And then for the period of time that we're simulcast, I'll just pretend I'm a guest on your show and you can ask whatever questions you want.
So the way it's eventuated is that she's coming down here.
She and her producer are coming down here.
And she's going to be in the studio here on Monday with the Fox cameras and so forth.
So this is first time I've ever turned over a portion of this program to somebody else.
You talk about a career risk.
But it's the Fox News channel and it's going to be fun.
So I wanted to plug that and advise you that that's coming up.
That'll be, of course, I think, what is it, 1.33?
It's the last half hour on Monday that we're going to, that we're going to simulcast on Monday on the Fox News Channel live desk with Martha McCallum.
Now, we all know, let's go back to this debate for just a second.
I'm really bummed about it.
I'm sitting there at the computer last night, and I'm always torn.
There's always much more to learn and enjoy on my computer than there ever is on CNN.
But I was duty-bound, ladies and gentlemen, as your host to watch this thing.
And I was excited to watch it.
It's finally, we've got to the season here in the campaign where these debates could be interesting and fun.
And I tuned in, and I actually thought I was watching the NBA All-Star Game when this thing started.
All these candidates get introduced one by one and the fanfare and so forth.
And I said, I just can't believe CNN would ever do this and program it this way for a Republican debate and make these people out to be superstars.
And in fact, most of them are duds anyway.
I was talking to Flea in here before the program started.
The thing you come away with last night is that Mrs. Clinton doesn't, she doesn't have to say anything.
All she has to do is destroy these other people, and that's not hard to do.
And that's basically what her technique is: to destroy her opponents rather than advance substantive policy issues, because, as you know, she can't be honest about that.
So then I'm watching.
I said, okay, I'm going to watch how Wolf behaves here.
I said, Wolf's been warned, supposedly, by the Clinton high command.
He'd been warned to not go personal.
Look at his personal attack stuff.
Don't pile on.
In the Clinton world, that means don't ask a question.
You know, don't ask a tough question.
Personal attack is one in which you dare make a Clinton explain what they actually think about something or have them explain something they have said on a prior occasion.
So I was watching this, and I think that, well, Wolf looked to me like he was behaving as somebody who had been warned and drudged today on his page.
CNN debate moderator Wolf Brutzer did an outstanding job in Vegas.
A senior advisor to the Hillary campaign said early today.
He was outstanding.
He didn't gang up like Russert did in Philadelphia.
He avoided the personal attacks.
He remained professional.
He ran the best debate so far.
Voters were the big winners last night.
A rival campaign insider charged that Wolf turned into a lamb.
No follow-up question on Clinton's huge flip-flop on driver's licenses.
Wolf even got a phone call from Bill Clinton today.
So Wolf gets the testicles back from Hillary's testicle lockbox after the debate performance last night.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
If you watched the debate, you probably remember.
Now they had, it was the second hour, and they had registered, they said, independent voters.
And here was one of them.
I finally got my son home after three tours of police and Iraq Civil War.
Now, members of the Bush administration and new conservative members of Congress are beating the drums of war again.
My son is still part of the Marine Individual Ready Reserve.
And if President Bush starts another unnecessary war, there will be a chance that he'll likely be recalled for war.
All of you on the stage have formal political power or significant informal power and have the ability to stop the rush to war.
Please tell me how you're going to show us your leadership on this issue now so I can decide who I think would be the best leader for tomorrow.
Okay, so we were told there's just registered independent voters and there has been a question about plants in Hillary campaign appearances.
It turns out this woman's name is Catherine Jackson and it turns out she's been in the news before.
I am holding here in my formerly nicotine stained finger a printed copy of the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper from May 18th of this year.
And the headline of the story: protesters employ monkey to decry Dingy Harry's Iraq stance.
Group includes woman whose son was killed in war.
With a sleepy monkey in a camouflage outfit and white handkerchiefs on flagpoles, a small group of pro-war activists Thursday gathered outside the federal courthouse that houses Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reed's Las Vegas office, decrying what they said was a policy of surrender.
The anti-Reed demonstration was organized by a national group, Move America Forward.
Most of the protesters were from out of town.
At any rate, one of the people that showed up here in the anti-war part of the protest was, in fact, Catherine Jackson, who got into this debate last night.
Now, she's a Las Vegas resident.
She's obviously an activist.
And she got in there last night.
Do you think it's a coincidence that a huge anti-war protester who is a mother of a son who served three tours there, you think it's a coincidence she got into this debate live?
Of course it's not a coincidence.
So CNN, clearly the Clinton news network last night.
There's no question about it.
Got to take a brief time out.
We'll come back and get started with all the rest of today's program right after this.
Don't go away.
It's the era of limbo, as defined by Daily Variety.
I, ladies and gentlemen, single-handedly am responsible for the poisoned atmosphere surrounding the Writers Guild of America strike and their talks with management.
Welcome back.
It's Open Line Friday, 800-282-2882.
On Tuesday, on this program, behind this microphone, I said this.
This is getting fun now, folks.
This is just, this is just getting fun.
Hillary the comeback cadet.
Yep, that's what it'll be on Thursday night and Friday.
In fact, let's go ahead and make that prediction.
And of course, since I know the drive-bys and the liberals better than they know themselves, I was right.
We have a little media montage.
Hillary's back.
And the subhead, I guess, would be No More Mad A Nice Guy.
Last night she counterattacked.
She was going in there showing she can mix it up and fight for a win.
Taking some punches and delivering some back.
In this debate, Clinton hit back.
She proved she can take a punch.
Last night she realized that she had to fight for this nomination.
They were the ones doing the punching a couple of weeks ago and again last night, but she counterpunched, reversed a trend.
And she regained her stride.
Reversed the trend.
I told you this was going to be, all she had to do was show up last night.
All she had to, she didn't have to do anything marvelous, just had to show up, make sure that Wolf did not bring up this driver's license question, and old Don Vito Clinton Leone took care of that with Elliot Spitzer the day before, so that that came up and there was no follow-up on it.
And she was able to get rid of her one-word answer, which is a contradiction.
She told the Nashua, New Hampshire editorial board, some newspaper there, that she agreed with Spitzer's plan on driver's licenses.
Last night, she gets away with a one-word answer when asked about driver's license.
No.
Obama, Obama's asked about this.
He's got to know this is a potential huge issue.
He's got to know he and everybody else up there is going to be asked about driver's licenses for illegals.
And halfway through an answer that had me half asleep in a minute and a half, Blitzer finally jumps in on cue from Don Vito Clinton Leone and says, they think the question is worthy of just a yes or no answer.
Audience starts laughing.
Most of the audience is pro-Clinton.
And then, of course, to Clinton, and she gives the one-word answer that Wolf had just given the cue for.
It was masterful last night.
And so predictably and right on cue, here are the drive-bys.
Oh, yeah, she reversed the trend.
Oh, she got the momentum.
Portraying this thing like a Rocky movie.
Carville reversed the trend was his comment.
He also has said 85% of the fireworks were in the first 10 minutes, meaning the rest of it was a flat-out bore.
And he's right.
And the reason, you know why it was a bore?
It was because it didn't meet expectations.
And it was a bore because that is the weakest roster of candidates.
Kucinich, well, you can say what you want about him, but he at least tells us what he wants.
He tells us what he thinks.
And he makes a point of saying, why do we have to have people here who need to try what they want to try a second time?
I've always voted against the war.
Mrs. Clinton's flip-flopped on it.
Blah, blah, blah.
Do we have to have people up here?
She didn't do health care right.
She wants to do it again.
I'll do it right the first time.
Why can't we get somebody up here to do it right the first time?
He comes off.
He looks like Pinocchio without the long nose.
And then some of these others, I mean, Biden.
Biden came off well.
You know, the Kiapet looked really good last night.
In contrast, the other people didn't have a prayer.
Neither does Chris Dodd have a prayer.
Edwards got booed a couple times.
Made me happy.
Obama just looked unprepared.
And Mrs. Clinton's sitting there talking about all the mud that's being thrown at her from the right-wing playbook.
And that's when the hall erupted in applause for her.
Edwards got booed a couple times when he tried this.
So what she demonstrated last night is really, she doesn't have to win on the merits of anything, folks.
All she has to do is be able to destroy all the other candidates that are running against her.
The merits of her competence and her experience and her abilities need not ever come up, at least in this forum.
That'll happen in the general election.
To the archives we go, ladies and gentlemen, for an update.
It's a Gorbasm.
He's back in the news.
And the New York Times is not happy.
All right, for those of you who have not heard a Gorbasm, if this is your first Gorbasm, let me explain to you.
And this actually does not qualify as a Gorbasm.
This is sort of an anti-Gorbasm from the New York Times.
They have to go back to the mid-80s.
Rinaldus Magnus in the White House, the left in this country and around the world, scared to death that he's going to order a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union and wipe out the world.
They had invested all of their hope for sanity in he with the birthmark that kept growing as Soviet expansion kept going.
Mikhail Segeevich Gorbachev.
He was the savior.
He was the hero.
But as you know, Reagan refused to talk to these Soviet leaders because, as he said, they kept dying on him and they weren't going to be around long enough for any policy they made to stick.
But finally, Gorbachev agreed to meet in Washington, flew in all these leftists in the media and the exalted State Department types on the tarmac out there at Andrews Air Force Base.
And the Aleutian 62 jetliner.
Technology to build, no doubt, stolen from Boeing.
Taxis from the runway to the tarmac, where the steps are slowly rolled to the door of the airplane.
There is heavy breathing and anticipation, waiting for that door to open and the savior, Mikhail Segeevich Gorbachev, to de-plane and thus save the world from the madman, Rinaldus Magnus.
And of course, the door did open, and there was Gorbachev with that birthmark.
You could see Maine in that birthmark.
You could see the, well, you could see the Gulf of Mexico.
You could see a little bit of Florida form.
As Soviet expansionism kept going, that birthmark grew.
He gets off the comes out the door at the top of the steps, and there's a collective screaming in joy and so forth.
And thus the gorbasm was born.
And up until today, Mikhail Segevich Gorbachev is the hero of the left when it comes to the end of the Cold War.
Yes, Rinaldus Magnus and Margaret Thatcher had nothing to do with it.
It was all Gorbachev with perestroika and glasnost.
Well, the New York Times today has thrown Gorbachev overboard an editorial entitled Gorbachev's Baggage.
The great man clutches the handle of the vintage limousine, staring sadly out the window at a chunk of the Berlin wall with an open Louis Vuitton travel bag on the seat next to him.
The message is a personal journey of a beautiful person.
It's a bit of a squeeze to fit Gorbachev, the last leader of the first communist society, into this collage, but they do it.
Alexander Litvininko, you may recall, was the former KGB agent killed by radioactive poison in London.
What personal journey is Mr. Gorbachev on now?
The ad agency, Ogilvy and Mather, insist the magazine part was not intentional.
Perhaps not, but the banal message that comes across is of a great figure, Mikhail Gorbachev, cashing in.
Maybe that accounts for his sad expression.
So Gorbachev's being paid a lot of money to appear in a Louis Vuitton ad, looking sad.
The New York Times hopes he looks sad because he knows he's what?
He's a traitor.
He's a traitor to the New York Times cause, which is what?
If they're upset with Gorby for going capitalist, what must the New York Times be?
It is what we've always told you.
Mr. Gorbachev's been on this journey before.
Ten years ago, he did a TV spot for Pizza Hut that drew considerable scorn.
In the ad, he feeds a slice to his 10-year-old granddaughter while Russians debate whether he sold him out or bought him freedom.
He argued at the time he needed money for his foundation.
Mr. Gorbachev is one of the peculiar heroes of our time.
So even if we don't begrudge him money, it's sad to contemplate that his personal journey has taken him from a leader of the great communist nation of the Soviet Union to now earning gobs of money in the American capitalist system.
The New York Times is just bummed.
Thank you, and welcome back.
El Rushball, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing Maha Roshnishi.
Perhaps it was one of those Eureka moments, AP story here, when the scientists realized that they had discovered a new dinosaur with mouth parts designed to vacuum up food.
The 110-million-year-old plant eater discovered in the Sahara Desert.
What does that tell you?
There aren't any plants in the Sahara Desert right now.
It must have been 110 million years ago.
Was to be unveiled Thursday with the National Geographic Society.
Now, they've named this thing the Nigersaurus.
Its mouth is shaped like the wide intake slot of a vacuum.
It has something lacking in most cleaners, though, hundreds of tiny sharp teeth to grind up its food.
The 30-foot-long Niger or Niger saurus had a feather-like skull held close to the ground to graze like an ancient cow.
You know, when I first thought when I read this story, I knew dinosaur with a vacuum mouth.
Why didn't they call it the Monica Saurus?
That worked.
Even Dawn is laughing at that.
And this, if you heard CBS has asked a judge to dismiss Dan Rather's suit, they are mystified by it.
They say his claims are far-fetched, just like all of his reporting was.
A 30-page motion seeks to dismiss Rather's lawsuit against CBS.
Leslie Moonvis and Sumner Redstone and one-time CBS News president Andrew Hayward, Rather alleged that he was scapegoated and put out to pasture following the MemoGate scandal about President Bush's National Guard Service.
The network said in its motion, this lawsuit's a regrettable attempt by plaintiff Dan Rather to remain in the public eye and to settle old scores and perceived slights based on an array of far-fetched allegations.
There was no such nefarious scheme, and Rather's allegations bear no resemblance to reality.
CBS and its execs are not now and never have been out to get Dan Rather.
You know something else they've said?
They said that his suit, when you read it, really boils down to a defamation suit.
And defamation suits have a 12-month lifespan from the time of the defamation.
And they seek its dismissal here on the basis that Rather didn't file his suit for 15 months.
So he's way over the 12-month limit.
I want you to hear the soundbites I was talking about earlier of the debate portion where Obama, who had to know that the subject of illegal driver's licenses was going to be brought up, I want you to hear how unprepared he was and how Mrs. Clinton was cued by Wolf Blitzer right on time and after Obama made such a mess of this.
Two soundbites.
Here is the first.
I am not proposing that that's what we do.
What I'm saying is that we can't be.
No, no, no, no.
Look, I have already said I support the notion that we have to deal with public safety and that driver's licenses at the state level can make that happen.
But what I also know.
But what I also know, Wolf, is that if we keep on getting distracted by this problem, then we are not solving it.
Because this is the kind of question that is sort of available for a yes or no answer.
Either you support it or you oppose it.
Yeah, so the audience is laughing at the guy.
This is just, this is what I meant earlier when I said that this is just a pathetic bunch.
You know, if you look at the years of experience these people have and what they've accomplished, it's really not much.
I mean, Kerry was in the Senate 19 years and, what, authored four pieces of legislation.
I don't even think he authored them.
He just put his name on them that other people had authored.
Literally nothing.
Obama's been in there two years and it shows.
At any rate, so after the audience stops laughing at Obama, then Wolf picks up with, well, Obama finally gives his one-word answer and then Wolf moves on.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I am going to be fighting for comprehensive immigration reform and we shouldn't pose the question that somehow we can't achieve that.
I believe that the American people desperately want it.
That's what I'm going to be fighting for as president.
Senator Clinton.
Now.
And we're supposed to believe that this kind of stuff is not choreographed.
By the way, there's a drive-by editorial today, Scripps Howard.
No, no, no.
It's Chicago Sun-Times.
You know, she's going to have to come up with some of these papers from the Clinton Library and Massage Department to demonstrate her experience.
It's just not right that she gets away with saying she's got all this experience, but there's evidence of what she did in the White House and nobody can see.
Also, this.
Now, this is from the New York Post today.
And this is interesting, too, because yesterday we had the Gallup poll.
Well, actually, not a Gallup poll.
That's the difference.
We had a news story from California where new citizens, legal immigrants who had gone through the process of earning citizenship, when they leave the courthouse after being sworn in as citizens, they're sort of hijacked or ambushed by Democrat operatives who are seeking to get them to go register to vote as Democrats, and these people are not.
They are registering Republican.
Now, there's so much media conventional wisdom that's wrong.
And one of the things that was forever wrong during the amnesty bill debate was from the Republican side, they said, well, we have got, we have got to show these people that we care about them and they're the backbone of America because we've got to get these votes.
We're alienating these Hispanics and it's not going to be good.
And so that's what the whole thing was about anyway, the pursuit of votes by both parties.
So the conventional wisdom almost always is wrong.
And this story yesterday gave evidence of that.
of how these people came out said we're voting Republican.
They resent all the illegals and all of the efforts to make them legal without having to go through the process that the people who have gone through it have had to endure.
And they resent it and they're voting Republicans.
They're registering to vote as Republicans.
Now, obviously, there are not as many naturalized citizens here as there are illegal immigrants, but it does turn things on its head.
And I've said that the two big issues in the general election next year are going to be taxes and illegal immigration.
The Democrats are wrong on both sides.
They're not quite yet up to speed, but they're getting there on just how precarious their position on illegal immigration is.
So that takes us to this story in the New York Post today.
On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton came under fire.
Actually, Thursday, she came under fire yesterday from immigration supporters for her flip-flop on allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses.
On Wednesday, Clinton stunned advocates by announcing that as president, she would not support giving licenses to illegals after indicating recently that she favored the move.
By the way, somebody needs to tell Mrs. Clinton that presidents have nothing to do with driver's licenses.
Those are done by the states.
So whether she supports it or doesn't support it or is going to demand it or stop, she can't do either.
Well, I'll take it back.
A phone call to a governor from Don Vito Clinton Leone can probably get a lot done.
But I'm talking about constitutionally.
State Senator Ruben Diaz, a Democrat from Nebraska, said, Bronx, she's trying not to bring heat under herself.
I'm very disappointed.
City Councilman Kendall Stewart, Democrat Brooklyn, who chairs the Council Immigration Committee, I'm not happy with that when asked about Clinton's latest stance.
I thought she was happy with the first proposal that Spitzer had, which is a driver's license, does not have anything to do with immigration, doesn't have anything to do with terrorists.
Look, folks, it's very simple.
If you're going to give an illegal citizen, illegal person, a legal document, which is what a driver's license is, then you are, by virtue of that, making them legal.
A driver's license is a legal document.
And if you give one to an illegal, then you've just made them worthless.
It's just like, tell me a country.
Show me a country that has not had an interest in who gets into it.
Every country that has borders, and every country does, is worried except the communist country who's trying to keep people in.
But everybody tries to control who gets into their country.
If you don't have borders, you don't have a country.
And the Democrats don't care about any of this.
This was simply a move for illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses so they could register to vote.
Democrats want and need those votes in the states and throughout the country.
By the way, Peter King, congressman from New York, is going to introduce a bill saying that no state can authorize driver's licenses for illegals.
What is it?
Six or seven states already have it, six.
So anyway, the point here is from Diaz, Ruben Diaz from the Bronx, she has to explain why it took two weeks to find an answer to a simple yes or no question.
He's not yet made a presidential endorsement.
Here, don't misunderstand.
I'm not saying this is going to hurt Hillary.
My point here, because nothing's going to hurt Hillary with Democrats in New York.
She's going to get the nomination.
He's going to primary votes there.
That's not the point.
The point here is that the Democrats clearly want illegals to become citizens by fiat, by waving of a magic wand.
And where everybody thought the Republicans were going to end up being in trouble on this, with each passing day with this story in the news, it's the Democrats who are learning that they have a much bigger problem here with this issue than the Republicans do.
I got to take a break.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back after this and continue.
Stay with us.
Coming up at the top of the hour, Mark Levin will be here to discuss with us his powerful new book, Huge Bestseller Already Rescuing Sprite.
Back to the phones or to the phones.
We haven't gone to the phones yet.
This is Jim somewhere in Connecticut.
Republicans in Connecticut do not like to identify where they are.
Jim, somewhere in Connecticut, works for us.
How are you?
Hey, Rush.
How are you doing?
Actually, I'm a Republican who lives in New Jersey and Massachusetts.
I consider myself bitactual.
I'm somewhere in the middle of Connecticut heading up to Massachusetts.
Okay.
But here's, I want to get right to my point here.
I was watching the debate last night, and in addition to the thing shui, the way they laid out Hillary in the center of all of those guys, it's clear that they want to control how the debates are going to go.
And I was just wondering what you thought about setting up parameters, the Republicans setting up parameters when we get to the national election.
In that you want to not have a crowd in there that can yell and cheer and sway the television audience and not have moderators that are going to set up questions.
Well, the way those debates work in theory, once you get to presidential debates, each side is given a certain number of tickets to distribute to supporters and donors and so forth, so that the hall is largely constructed 50-50.
But both parties try to sabotage the other side.
Both parties try to infiltrate and get their own people in as representatives of the other party.
One thing the Republican candidates are going to have to figure out, and I think they know it, they can't rely on staging.
They can't rely, got to know that the moderators of these debates, in large measure, are going to be out to get them.
They have to know that the same people are going to be out to promote Mrs. Clinton.
They cannot rely on the moderators to sit there and be tough on Mrs. Clinton, who will be the nominee.
They can't do that.
They're going to have to do it themselves.
You know, Wolf Blitzer, Wolf Blitzer asked a question.
We didn't ask a question.
This is one of the craziest things that happened last night.
After the candidates have been rolled out, like they're being introduced to the NBA All-Star Game, they're all standing behind Wolf in a photo op, various people, Howard Dean and others, coming up, shaking everybody's hands while they're standing there at the podium, while Wolf is in a close-up giving ground rules.
And he said, one of the ground rules is that you have to answer the question asked.
You cannot take the question and move on to something you'd rather talk about.
And I said, okay, well, how did he do?
Well, one of the writers, the American thinker today, said he did about as good a job maintaining the rules as a referee does in a World Wrestling Federation.
And that's the Republicans just have to realize this.
So, you know, stacking the audience, stacking the place is, they all try to do it.
Both parties do.
The Democrats have, I don't know, I think the Democrats are more oriented in that direction because they don't trust people.
They think they have to stage things in order to win them.
Reality is the biggest problem a Democrat Party has.
Reality is the hugest problem.
The truth is the biggest problem they have.
It's the biggest inconvenience that they have to deal with.
And their whole existence is built on denying who they are and what they believe.
Here's Kurt and Fort Knox.
Kurt, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush.
Great to speak to you.
Thank you.
Calling from here in Kentucky.
I live right next to Fort Knox and right next to the military base.
Yeah.
And what I wanted to comment about, you mentioned Obama and him being off last night.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Kurt, can you hang on just a second?
Sure.
The Brinks truck is out there, Brian, bringing in my paycheck.
And there's no parking spaces.
I don't want the guy to leave.
Okay, go ahead, Kurt.
All right, sir.
You mentioned Obama being off his game last night.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
I listen to a lot of news.
I listen to your show every day.
I'm a news junkie.
But when Obama mentioned two months ago that he would negotiate directly with Iran, with a terrorist nation, didn't Hillary jump on the bandwagon to destroy Obama over his naive foreign policy?
She did.
You know, saying that you don't negotiate with terrorist nations.
Last night, she said she would negotiate with Iran.
Oh, see, that's look at, we've been pointing this out.
She's all over the board on this like she is the driver's license.
The next time the driver's license thing comes up, she'll find a way to be for it in order to salve the hurt feelings of New York Democrats who think that Hillary has thrown immigrants under the bus.
What I'm curious about, why didn't Obama come back and attack her for that?
He sat there as if he were asleep when she said that.
I got two theories.
One theory is Obama has realized he's out of his league right now.
He's gone into this too soon and is just phoning it in.
Right.
The second thing is that he's just, he gets up there and gets paralyzed.
His brain stops moving.
He's so defensive.
He's so worried about what he's going to say.
He's not listening to what he's heard and responded.
So he's in a defensive posture.
He's trying not to lose.
In the process, he's losing.
Well, I have a third option, Rush.
Do you think Clinton Castrati got to him and they've already told him that he's going to be the vice president?
Or possibly he's going to get a free ticket to Fort Martin?
Well, when you start talking about Don Vito, Clinton, Leone, and Clinton, Inc., and who they might have got to, you can't rule any of it out.
But I don't think that they're – I don't think they have any fear of Obama.
I don't think – I don't think he's going to be the VEP.
Well, they don't seem to have any fear of him right now.
No, she didn't have any fear of anybody.
The biggest fear she has, folks, and this is not good for me, but the biggest fear Clinton Inc. has is me.
Back in just a second.
This is just, this is just so predictable.
This is from the Gatehouse News Service, Metro West Daily News, Framingham, Massachusetts.
If you're planning a major feast this Thanksgiving, might be a good idea to budget a few extra dollars to make sure you can get the guest of honor to the table.
The rising cost of oil and other utilities combined with an explosion in the cost of corn feed, could you say ethanol, has increased the cost of raising a turkey by as much as 35% and costing the industry more than a half billion dollars.
Those increases have not gone unnoticed in Metro West, Framingham, Massachusetts.
So to satisfy the demands of the high priest Al Gore of the Church of Global Warming, more and more of the farmland's being shifted to ethanol, driving up the cost of turkey.
And now we got panic stories barely a week before Thanksgiving.
Some people in they're not even homeless.
May not be able to afford a turkey at Thanksgiving.
It'll make the Indians happy.
Look at the bright side.
Back after this.
