Time Text
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Here we are at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the EIB Southern Command.
Fortified and secured at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and we are having more fun than a human being.
Should be allowed to have.
Great to have you along for the ride today.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, a brand new email address as of Sunday.
L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
All right, Mr. Snartley told me during the break at the top of the hour, he's being inundated with telephone calls from the Hucksters.
The Huckaboomers, the uh Hucker Huckabee supporters who are what do they do?
They're accusing me of uh trying to sabotage half his they're trying to accuse me of trying to sabotage Huckabee's campaign by by simply reporting what the Democrats are saying.
And what should I be?
I should be defending Huckabee against this stuff, that's what they think.
Um I tried to address this to you people in the uh in the in the in the first hour.
I've got I've only got one thing against my Huckabee, just one thing.
Exercise.
He's for it, and I'm not.
Right now, this is, you know, this is still I can I be honest with you.
I mean, I probably should not admit this.
I really shouldn't.
My instincts are to not admit it.
But I'm gonna punt the instincts.
I frankly am getting a little fed up.
And my tolerance level is near capacity for Iowa.
Nothing against Iowa, but it's just a bunch of damn caucus.
And every now, I know for Mrs. Clinton it's a little bit more relevant than it is for the others because she's the candidate of inevitability.
And inevitable candidates don't lose.
And if inevitable candidates do lose, then question marks are raised and this kind of thing.
But I something I'm back to my instincts again.
I know it's December the 11th.
By the way, it's my brother's birthday today.
Happy birthday, Dave.
Uh David, what is he turned?
Turns 55.
Turns 55 today.
Uh hope he has a happy birthday.
I'm giving him nothing.
He doesn't need it.
I love Dawn just goes, you can be so mean sounding when you're not mean.
No, he's got five kids.
He's needs.
He needs he's got five kids.
He needs something I can't give him.
Um it's anyway.
Happy birthday, David.
Uh, I hope the kids remember it.
Uh well, you know, we always one parent has to remind the kids, you know it's daddy's birthday tomorrow.
Oh, yeah.
And then the mother goes out and buys presents for the kids to sign their name on.
I don't know that that's how it happens in David's house, but history and tradition lead me to believe.
At any rate, uh what I was gonna say is I know it's December 11th here, but for some reason this still seems early to me.
I still think it for me it's it's traceable back to this business, these polls, these day-to-day polls are really meaningless in terms of what the outcome on election day is going to be.
And we have recent history that indicate this.
Howard Dean in 2003 was the runaway winner.
It was just a fate accompli, and he loses big in the Hawkeye Cockye.
And that's how it can end up mattering big, is if there's some big front runner that's supposedly a lock.
Uh, and and it all goes south, and it and it did.
I think it's largely my disdain for the polls uh as meaningful indicators.
It's December 11th, but the Hawkeye Hawkeye aren't until January 3rd.
And to me, what happens on January 3rd is gonna be far more important than polling data today.
And the polling data today and tomorrow uh is relevant in the sense that it might affect the minds of people in Iowa and New Hampshire.
You know how the drive-bys use these things.
Uh they use them to make news, they use them to shape opinion.
That's the dirty little secret.
They claim these polls are out there to reflect opinion.
It's just the opposite.
They do these polls primarily to shape it.
Look at the New York Times story today on Hillary.
Oh, she just loved by the Democrats.
The Republicans have no enthusiasm for any of their candidates.
Hillary, what She just loved.
And why most Democrats think Hillary Clinton can unite the country better than Barack?
She got 50%.
Half the country doesn't like Hillary Clinton.
And she's the she's a great uniter.
And besides, what the hell's with being united?
Who wants that?
I don't want to be united with Libs.
I want to beat them.
So I I just reject all the premises that are advanced in all these polls, and I'm content to wait to see what happens.
Uh in these in these primary things.
And you know my philosophy, it's the these these candidates, like you you hucksters are upset at me.
I'm sorry it's not my job to get Mike Huckabee noticed.
It's not my job to get him elected, nor Romney, nor nor nor Rudy, nor Fred Thompson.
If they say or do things that I happen to love, like Romney's speech last week, then I will say so.
Uh if if Rudy says or does something like attacking the the Democrats and Clintons in these debates back in the summer, uh I'll say so.
But I always add the caveat that there's um there's no endorsement implied uh in the uh in the process here.
So I'm just I'm just biting my time and waiting to see when the real voting counts, what happens.
Rather than get caught up in the day-to-day back and forth of uh daily tracking polls.
Hell, even in drive-by's.
When they get a poll that they don't like, they reject it.
There's a new poll out.
Uh and you know the polls are gospel to these people.
Except the new one that says only one percent of Democrats say that the Oprah endorsement will affect their vote in Obama versus Hillary.
Uh, they say this one's meaningless.
So here we have a montage.
Susan Page of USA Today, Jennifer Donahue from a New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Scarborough at MSNBC, Mika Bzhinski from MSNBC, Harry Smith CBS, uh, who admits he didn't even know how to use Google, uh, Bob Schiefer at uh CBS talking about Oprah's impact on the election.
This endorsement, whatever the findings of this poll, has got to be a very helpful opportunity for him.
Even one percent that wins an election in this day and age.
I don't believe this, Paul.
That Oprah will have no effect.
The latest poll out about the Oprah effect.
While it says something, I still think what they were able to do with this were able to bring in people.
Does it matter that Oprah endorses uh Barack Obama, and there was like one percent said actually yes.
Most of that polling was done before these appearances over the weekend.
You have to keep that in mind.
Well, yeah, so obviously they're disappointed here that only one percent say they would be affected uh by the uh Oprah uh endorsement.
So we're gonna throw that poll out because well, that poll took place before all the appearances over the uh over the weekend.
The last voice you heard there was Bob Schiefer, who inadvertently stumbled into the truth this morning on the early show, um, exposing the truth about Mrs. Clinton, Harry Smith again.
Said, look, I talked to some of my very close relatives and friends, conservative friends in the middle of the country.
They're thinking none of the above.
While Hillary's lead still holds, she's dropped precipitously from a month or so ago.
Barack's in the upswing.
If this continued for another month or so, could you see that she'd be in serious trouble?
How do we read this?
Oh, great Oracle Bob.
Hillary Clinton is trying to build her campaign around experience.
And yet Democrats are saying they value new ideas as much as they value experience.
That has really got to worry the Clinton camp.
The other thing that I found astonishing in our poll is the thing that people like most about Hillary Clinton, Harry, is her husband, right?
Another C, I told you so.
And he was stunned in his poll.
That that half the people, most that the thing that most like most about Hillary is that uh is her husband.
Uh these people are this so far behind the curve while thinking they are leading the wave.
Quick time out.
We'll be back.
Lots more ahead here on the EIB network.
Stay with us.
Ta, welcome back.
And I just got a note.
After what I just said, what I thought was very thoughtful.
In fact, it was very deep.
It was very serious and very insightful.
I got a note from a friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but Mitt's slide after two years of ruling the roost in Iowa to Huckabee.
That's incredible.
Seems like Mitt has the black uh the glass jaw to me.
See, this proves my point.
What is two years ago mean to anything?
Who was going to win Iowa two years ago?
Whatever poll said was going to win Iowa last year is irrelevant.
Six months ago, whatever the polls said was going to happen in Iowa was irrelevant.
All the polling does is give an indication here that the uh well, let me put this a different way.
You get the impression that Mitt Romney has had this big slide and Huckabee's had this giant surge out of nowhere, and you're doing so in the context of two years worth of polling.
Why should we expect a year ago or two years ago, people who are going to go to the Hawkeye Cawkeye to even have the slightest idea that Huckabee was going to get in the race.
So this is this is this is exactly what I mean.
I don't care what the Hawkeye Cockyeye poll was two months ago, two years ago, or whatever, because it was meaningless.
It's like stopping a horse race at the halfway point and saying, There's the winner when there hasn't been one yet.
I may be finessing this a bit much, but I uh I don't think so.
Have you you people heard about the latest uh scandal involving the pages in the House of Representatives?
You haven't.
You haven't heard about this?
Well, what's interesting about this is that, you know, Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats, they were gonna get their arms around this page business and they're gonna make sure that there weren't any more Foley type incidents in there.
Uh you haven't heard that all hell's broken loose in the Page program.
House teenage pages are so wild and unsupervised that two Republican members of Congress have resigned from the House Page board, protesting that they were not informed of two pages caught shoplifting and two others busted for engaging in public oral sex.
One of the members who resigned, Representative Jenny Brown Waite of Florida, tells the Washington Post blog The Sleuth that she felt, quote, very, very uncomfortable, both as a mother and a grandmother continuing to serve on a board that she feels is inadequately supervised.
I thought the Mark Foley incident was a wake-up call.
Apparently it wasn't.
She added, if I had a sixteen-year-old granddaughter, I wouldn't let her come up here.
I I would not let my sixteen-year-old grandson come up here.
The Congresswoman does have a sixteen-year-old grandson, as it turns out.
One of the incidents that bothered her involved what she called inappropriate sexual indiscretions between two teenaged pages.
She wouldn't elaborate, though she said other pages served as enablers.
A source familiar with the incident, which resulted in the expulsion of two pages, said one female page performed oral sex in a mail page in a page dorm room as other teenagers watched.
The enablers provided cover for them, the other pages were watching.
The alleged public indiscretions, according to the Florida representative, were not an isolated incident.
Two other pages were expelled for shoplifting, and another source said one of the shoplifters was charged with a felony.
So they wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi suggesting that the clerk of the House, whose job it is to oversee the House page program, should no longer be in charge of the teenagers.
Page supervision, other than on the floor of the House is found to be sorely lacking, and the clerk has been slow to share information with members of the board.
In at least one vitally important incident, we were intentionally kept in the dark about dismissals for more than a week, and were only given the details after personally confronting the clerk with the rumors that we had heard both the Florida representative and Representative Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, a Republican, who also resigned from the Page Board in protest, said they blame Pelosi for not reforming the program as promised.
Capito said the problems with communication between board members that plagued the program in the past have only continued under new House leadership.
I find it interesting here that uh no Democrat members of Congress or of the board have seen fit to find anything wrong with this and resign.
Now the mail page here, the mayor with the uh, you know, the uh these two that were engaging in oral six, I mean, this kid, a real resume enhancement for the Democrat Party nomination in the future, a true leg up.
Uh you know, if Democrats want a second coming of Bill Clinton, I mean this kid, this page may be the guy, and it's all happening because Pelosi is not out there policing this like she promised.
Bob in Birmingham, Alabama.
Nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
It's a it's a pleasure to speak with you.
I want to get right to it.
Uh the big question of the day is when did the United States of America become a two-family system instead of a two-party system?
If you count George H.W. as VP for eight years, then he was president for four years, then the Clinton Easter was a president for eight years, then George W. was eight years.
That's twenty-eight years of two families.
Now, if Hillary should, God forbid, get elected, that will be and gets re-elected.
That's thirty-six years of two families running this country.
When is America to wake up?
Don't don't give her eight years.
That's don't don't don't commit.
Well let's give her the four, then that's thirty-two years of two families running.
What are we supposed to do about it?
We th we're we're a representative republic and our and our people vote.
We're supposed to wake up and look at the country and say, okay, are we a two-party system or a two-family system?
If that's the case, maybe we might as well just get all the other Bushies ready to go, get uh get the Hillary's daughter ready to go.
I uh her name escapes me, Chelsea.
Well, I've I've suggested that uh whether Republicans ought to nominate Laura Bush.
She'd been first lady for eight years and just qualified as Hillary.
That's a good idea, then why not Jeb as vice president?
We can't do that.
I think Jeb's getting groomed.
I mean, Jeb needs eight years of Clinton for the Bush name to be off the front pages.
Well, we've got to wake up, Rush, because we're not going to be able to do that.
And then after Jeb is gonna come Marvin Bush.
But I don't think Chelsea Clinton's elected.
I've I've seen the the polls on a potential uh Chelsea uh primary in Iowa uh in uh in 2018, and I just I I don't if you believe polls, she doesn't have a chance because she can't win Iowa twenty.
I know this is frivolous in a lot of ways, but it's something to think about uh, you know, uh the word about Putin uh electing and picking uh his presidential uh uh candidate.
I I understand this.
I uh y y we can sit here and try to explain it, and it might be an interesting line of attack uh once once the if Hillary does win this thing uh for the Republicans, it might be an interesting line of attack.
That's correct.
Uh but if if if Republicans say, well, we've had enough Bush, we've had enough Clinton uh and so forth.
But time for a change.
That's a real change.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
We we have a we have a pop culture here uh that that's that turns even political figures into soap opera type characters.
Clinton is a soap opera figure.
There's nothing substantive about him.
Hillary Clinton's the same thing.
There's soap opera figures.
It's a daily drama.
It's a daily car crash that's gonna happen, might happen, people want to see it.
Uh they're just wait- do you realize how many people in this country are waiting for the news to find out who it is that Clinton is dating and more.
That's true.
And they won't hold it against his neighborhood button.
A lot of guys will be jealous that he gets away with it.
Would love to be getting media praise for this kind of roguish behavior.
I mean, we we've got a cultural problem.
I'm I'm I agree with you that uh, you know, this this you know, switching families is a uh you know, just taking turns.
I mean, you know, why not?
I mean, we might as well just line them all up and forget about the election.
Uh well, I know.
You know, that's why I still I still prefer to attack all this stuff on the substance of issues and leave the uh personalities and other things to uh to other people.
But I hear you.
I I I uh I do.
And I appreciate you taking the call.
My pleasure, sir.
Any any time at all.
Ron in uh blue state New York.
Nice to have you with the uh EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Yes, uh Mr. Limbaugh.
My name is Ron.
I'm uh I'm an outsider.
Uh I usually uh attack the outsiders asking us why do we call.
I'm uh I I'm an outsider, I'm a non-diddo head, but at twelve twenty-seven, uh you uh uh misinform the public on uh about uh how crude oil uh uh it's uh it's uh it it's it's where it's uh how it's uh uh where it's really comes from, and uh I challenge you as to uh on the air right now is to uh what did I say about where it comes from?
Yeah, you you made a claim on uh uh uh you made a claim at the end of the day.
What I said was what I said was we need to look at oil as a crop.
And well, you uh I I challenge you to actually uh grow uh uh crude oil.
And I challenge you right now on the air to grow crude oil and what you claim that's I've I can show you the remote.
Would you look I'm a volunteer for media matters.
In fact, a couple of days ago, I knew it.
I knew it.
He's a volunteer for media matters.
Limbaugh says oil's a crop challenged by Media Matters volunteer to show where we can grow.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, Rush Limbaugh EIB network.
You know, I love the volunteer for Media Matters for America, who admits he's out there monitoring this program.
Let me expand on this um this oil uh being a crop business.
How many of you eat virgin olive oil?
Where does it come from?
It comes from olives, which grow on what?
They go on vines, do they not, and trees?
And they produce oil.
We sure as hell grow oil.
Uh I, on my property, my expansive estate here in Palm Beach, Florida, I myself grow oil.
I have multiple coconut palm trees.
And coconuts, in addition to producing milk and uh other delicious things, produce coconut oil.
Coconut oil happens to be the best oil in the world in which to pop popcorn, which I do.
I do not use wesson, nothing wrong with it.
I do not use mozzo, I do not use flax seed, I do not use sunflower, safflower.
I use coconut oil.
I don't grow the coconut oil that I use, but I do grow oil.
But let me expand even further on this notion of oil as a crop, because you left you leftists and you liberals out there uh who look at oil as some scourge of the planet.
Offend me greatly with your ignorance.
Ignorance, the greatest, most expensive commodity we have in this country.
The ignorance of people, particularly liberals.
I mean, the the the proof of the ignorance of liberals is that Mrs. Hillary Clinton is a viable candidate for anything above president of Wellesley College.
And yet she is.
The ignorance of the role of oil on this planet and its ecology and in the human condition is frustrating and maddening to me.
All of you global warming hoax believers, you can sit out there and you can pray and you can get involved because the rest of your life is meaningless.
And you can make yourself think you're getting involved in a cause because you matter and you're gonna save the planet.
But I have a dirty little secret for you.
I don't care what you do, you are not going to stop the use of oil, nor are you going to stop the free flow of oil at market prices on this planet.
If the free flow of oil at market prices were ever interrupted and shut down, society and civilization as we know it would die.
We would freeze in the winter.
We would sweat ourselves to death in some cases in the summertime.
Our transportation would cease to exist.
There would be no travel industry, there would be nothing.
There would be no grocery stores, there would be no food other than what you grew in the backyard.
And the idea that you people think you're gonna get rid of this is literally insane.
But let me go a step further and say something that's really going to offend you.
See, I happen to believe, and this this belief, by the way, uh does a great deal to inform my belief on global warming and a number of other climate issues, science issues, or what have you.
And let me just say it, shouting it here from the mountaintops.
I believe in God, and I believe in the God of creation.
And I believe this planet was created along with the rest of the universe by God.
And thus I believe everything on this planet was created by God.
And yes, there's some things on this planet that are dangerous, like the Colorado uh horned toad or whatever.
If you lick it, you can have a hallucinogenic experience.
You got poison ivy out there.
There's all kinds of poison snakes.
Yes, God puts some things on the planet that are very dangerous, but they serve their role in their own ecosystems, and many of these things exist to protect life from being slaughtered by predators.
And so we deal with it, we learn about it, and we learn to respect it.
The left, the militant environmentalist wacko community in this country has succeeded in portraying oil as in and of itself a pollutant, a filthy, dirty, rotten scourge that must not be mined or brought up from the surface, must not be drilled for and must not be used.
It's a fossil fuel.
I can show you research from scientists in the field of uh petroleum who think that the earth is still manufacturing it.
It is a crop no different than any other crop that must be harvested in order to sell it.
Just because God put the oil here, and you, the farmer, did not, does not make it any less genuine a commodity, nor does it make it a pollutant.
We don't have the ability to synthetically make oil.
We can mess around with uh synthetic motor oils and so forth by the can.
We've got more of this stuff on this earth, and as the price continues to rise, we're gonna have an easier time getting it.
Because the price is what's standing in the way of extracting it from uh ice shelves deep down and uh shale and this sort of thing.
But there's oil all over the place.
It's not a scourge, it is the engine of the fuel of freedom, or the fuel of the engine of freedom and democracy and prosperity.
And looking at it as a crop, no different than you would look at trees.
Trees also, we can't touch those, and we've got to have maintain a pristine countryside.
God, God didn't intend for trees to cut down.
Hell he didn't, the most beautiful thing that happens to a tree is when you cut it down.
It becomes a piano, becomes homes, becomes a baseball bat.
I had some guy send me some beautiful pens in a where here, I've got them right here in a desktop.
Show them up for those of you on the ditto cam.
These these pens are hand-carved from wood.
Wood is from trees.
You would guide, you people to the left would like to put this guy out of business.
Beautiful things God created for us to use and exploit and manage for our own advancement.
And somehow oil has ended up being a scourge in something that is dirty and rotten, and in the wrong places it is.
And yes, sometimes oil gets spilled when drunk tanker drivers run into sea otters up in Alaska.
But that's part of the process.
We and guess guess who cleaned up Prince William Sound better?
It was so ridiculous to have people out there with bottles of dawn dishwasher detergent and paper towels wiping off rocks.
Mother Nature herself cleans up messes like this.
You know that oil is leaking through cracks in the ocean floor every day.
How come you never see the oil bubble up from the depths of the ocean?
It's because the ocean, the the the brine, the seawater, it is so powerful, it destroys it.
It eats it up.
How come the oil does from a van from a spill?
How come it always vanishes?
We never can really clean it all up.
We can try to contain it with nets and so forth.
How come it always the sea eats it up?
These things are a naturally occurring cycle.
We are stewards Here.
We are passengers.
We're spectators.
The idea that we have any control over the ecosystems, the weather systems, on this we got an ice storm in the Midwest.
600,000 people without power.
Probably due to global warmth.
We couldn't do a damn thing to stop it.
It's heading to Illinois.
We can't do a damn thing to stop it.
All we can do is get ready for it.
We are powerless.
Yet we have to realize the beauty and the awe of what has been given us via creation.
And we have discovered oil, and look what we have done with it.
We have increased the prosperity of human life on this planet like nothing in thousands of years prior to the discovery.
And it was only discovered in the 1800s.
And we've it it is a it is a crop.
When I say look at it as a crop, I simply mean don't buy into the notion that it is poison, that it is something that needs to be unused.
Don't buy into the notion that oil's very existence means the destruction and death of other life forms.
Just the opposite is true.
But if you want to imagine a world without it, you can go ahead and try building your little wind farm or your little solar panels up on your house, and you can see how far they'll get you to the grocery store, which will not have any food, because nobody's going to have any means of transporting it or growing it to get it to the grocery store.
Then you're going to be growing your own stuff.
We're going to be back to the way it was in the 1700s.
And how many of you know how to be farmers?
So I just I just resent all the hell people who ignorance in this country is the most expensive commodity we have.
Ignorance in this country is what permits somebody like Hillary Clinton to even be considered a viable candidate for anything.
Ignorance is what allows liberalism to get away with the global warming hoax, pure ignorance.
I'm not talking about stupidity.
And ignorance is simply the result of not knowing something.
Education is supposed to teach you things, but guess who has control of the education system and guess how they're using it?
It's a propaganda system, more or less today.
It's not an education system where hoaxes are spread via the Al Gore movie, and of course, oil is one of the big enemies.
But you don't see any of these people.
It's sort of like bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri.
They promise all these great delights to these ignorant people who they have convinced to strap bombs on their one-year-old babies and blow them up to kill hundreds of other people.
Death and destruction and martyrdom in the cause of such a wonderful thing, is it?
But you never see bin Laden or Zawahiri or any of the others blowing themselves up.
They're not eager to get to heaven for the 73 virgins.
At the same token, all of the huge advocates of getting rid of oil, fossil fuels, or what have you, telling you to stop traveling as much.
Alter your lifestyle.
This do you see them changing their lives at all?
They might buy a little hybrid and puts around in it in public.
But you don't see them getting in their private jet.
You don't see Al Gore, how did he get to Oslo?
He took a bus or a train from Oslo into town to receive his Nobel Peace Prize.
A Mercedes limousine took his luggage.
How did he get there?
I guarantee you he didn't go on a boat.
So he gets this public display and got the picture of himself on this silly little train going in to accept his Nobel Peace Prize.
It's the same point.
The leaders of this movement who claim we must all change the way we live, reduce our lifestyles, are not doing any of it at all.
In which case, I challenge their leadership.
By the way, I want to renew a bet that I'm I will bet my life's fortune against Al Gore's that what he predicts in 2030 will not happen.
If he's so convinced, or if Laurie David or any of these other global warming advocates are so convinced that Manhattan's going to be flooded or whatever else they're predict, I'm offering them a chance to win huge amounts of money.
If they're so convinced, and they're the ones out there preaching, literally preaching, telling us we have to alter our lifestyles.
I'll put everything I've got up against everything one of them has, that what they're saying is wrong.
And if they are so confident they ought to be willing to take me up on this this afternoon.
But I will not hear from them.
I made this offer six months ago.
And I'll make it again in future days, and I still won't hear from them.
Back in just a second, folks.
Stay with us.
Little Manheim Steamroller here in the bump rotation.
Title Latin is Patapan.
And it just builds and builds and builds, and it just causes tingles up your spine.
We, of course, will not play that much of it.
You have to get the CD yourself to hear it, but it's worth it.
Rush Limbaugh with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
By the debate on this energy business, the debate is not clean energy versus dirty energy.
The debate is about real energy versus fantasy energy.
That's what the left has given us.
We're debating real energy that has a proven track record versus fantasy energy.
And of course, the debate's bogus anyway, because the people behind this are just angling for greater control over people's lives.
I'm telling you the militant environmental movement is simply the new home of displaced communists and socialists after the fall of the Soviet Union.
By the way, the Green Bay Packers, a shocking announcement today.
Their starting quarterback this Sunday will be Mrs. Brett Favre.
Fans in Green Bay shocked when this announcement was made, but Mrs. Favre assured the fans, hey, I know this game.
I live with Brett.
I have taken several road trips on the team plane.
I've gone to the pregame meal.
I know a lot of the Packers.
I've played around with a lot of the Packers in the backyard.
I've tossed a football with them, and I know what a slot right 60 prevent hook and go is, and I know how to avoid a corner blitz.
So they poll the people in Green Bay.
50% of Packers fans are excited, motivated, looking forward to the big game.
All right, if if that's if that you think that's ridiculous, let me let me reread this.
In a shocking announcement today, Mrs. Hillary Clinton announced that she is running for president of the United States because she knows Bill Clinton and has lived with him.
And she was there on a lot of trips to China and around the world, and she was really cared about kids for 35 years.
She's fought and she stood up for kids, and she has she's tried to fix health care.
And she knows.
Fifty percent of the American people say that's good enough for us.
Ignorance.
Stephen Lansing, Kansas, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Megadiddles rush.
Thanks.
Long time listener since the eighth, first time gotten through.
Like your guidance related to the uh general election and today's Drudge headline.
Uh questions about the weight kind of weight we're putting on, or should we put on electability for general election?
I mean, whether it is the DNC or Romney behind the Dutch headline about Huck, is it do you think it's possible the Dems are using reverse psychology and they're actually scared to death of a likable Huckabee, won 48% of the black vote in 2002?
He's getting some union endorsements.
Uh, he's gonna bring out the social conservative base and mass probably.
I mean, it'd be with the return of the Reagan Democrat.
But do you think that could be what's going on?
Uh, it's possible.
Uh, when you're talking about politics, particularly the Democrats, and things possible, they could genuinely have uh fear of Huckabee.
Doubt it, but I mean it's I think it I think it's possible.
Uh you know, I I I love, I love the way people think, and I know that this program is largely responsible for inspiring thought in previous skulls full of mush, which sometimes you can outsmart yourself by being too smart by half.
Uh all this reverse psychology, I can understand the theory with it coming from Democrats.
Okay, so they put out a story on Drudge.
We can't wait for hookaby to be the nominee.
We're so excited, we're gonna hold all of our fire.
We got Ammo to destroy the guy, but we're gonna wait till he gets the general.
Uh or gets gets a nomination in the general election.
And the reverse psychology, well, we're really afraid of Huckabee.
Let's uh let's but the reverse psychology in that circumstance uh is that that oh, I guess Democrats scream Huckabee, but we can't have Huckabee.
When in fact Democrats are really scared of Huckabee.
I don't I think to understand or put this in perspective, I don't think the liberals, the Democrats, you know, their elitism and arrogance does not permit them to be scared.
Now they're their lunatic fringe voters are.
But folks, I have to tell you something.
The biggest problem Democrats have is right now is not a Republican candidate, is this sense of entitlement.
This election's already over.
They thought that in 2002, they thought in 2004, and they think it again.
And what nobody's asking, what happens if they lose the House and Senate?
What happens if they don't win the White House?
Can you imagine the fun that's gonna be?
A former CIA agent says waterboarding works every time it's tried.
Dingy Harry on the war path.
He thinks the enemies of this country are within our own borders, disguised as Republicans.
We'll be back.
