Time Text
Well, I'm watching CNBC here.
Financial news uh Wall Street, the markets are all abuzz, panting away, waiting for the Federal Reserve to uh do its rate cut today.
They're saying it's gonna be 25 basis points or 50 basis point.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that's a quarter point or half a point.
Uh and a bail some of these people out on their ARMs and their subprimes.
And somebody said, boy, somebody sent me a note said, Rush, the Fed's about to bail you out on your ARM.
I said, I don't have a mortgage.
I don't have debt.
Person wrote back, I thought you were subprime all the way.
I wrote back and said, No, I am prime all the way.
We are here serving humanity simply by showing up.
Rushland bought documented to be almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
Ta-da-da-da-da-la-da-da-l-t.
Oh, new email address.
It's uh L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
We had to get rid of the other one.
It's after all those years and a lot of spam in there.
And our spam filters are pretty good, but was taking out some of your uh legitimate email too.
So L Rushbow at EIBNet.com is the new email address.
The phone number is 800-282-2882.
And now, a brand new global warming update.
Paul Shanklin, song stylist portraying Al Gore.
Vice President Al Gore, and in a global warming land, Wonderland, our latest in a series of rotating global warming update themes.
Before we get to the global warming news, we actually have an audio soundbite from uh Al Gore.
This is yesterday on CNN in Oslo.
Correspondent Jonathan Mann of CNN interviewed Al Gore after he got the Nobel Peace Prize that should have been mine.
Man says the Associated Press, among other sources, is reporting that your family home near Nashville used twelve hundred dollars a month in electricity, which is ten times the average for homes nearby.
It's been widely disseminated, and I think that's why what he's getting at.
Is it true?
Are you a little less green than you seem?
There was a global warming denier group that put out misleading.
The Associated Press is not that kind of organization.
No, they reported what that group said.
And uh the point look, when you try to make a case like this, you are going to have uh you're going to have people try to attack the messenger in order to get at the message.
They have not been able to succeed.
But the most important element of this is the message.
And part of what they what part of what these deniers try to uh communicate is that the only way to solve this crisis is for individuals to make changes in their own lives.
What is he this is the biggest stone wall I've heard all week.
That was absolute gobbledygook.
He didn't answer the question first place.
Uh 1,200 a month in electricity, that's for Pikers.
But it's still it's a lot of money for him, and he's spent and he's he's he in fact he's gone out and he set up these carbon offset outfits.
He's not reducing his lifestyle at all.
That's the whole point.
What's you two, but he's not.
And he's going up buying carbon offsets and carbon credits, which is another hoax, designed to allow him to not cut back, and all these other environmentalist wackos are doing the same thing.
They have not been and the deniers.
We're we're we're deniers.
You see.
They've not been able to succeed, but the most important element of this is the message, and part of what part of what these deniers try to communicate is the only way to solve the crisis is for individuals to make change in their own lives.
We're we're we're we're communicating that.
We deniers are making no such effort to change anybody's life the way they live, not in the sense that Al Gore means it here.
It is Al Gore and his bunch that doesn't even want to give us a choice in the matter.
They want more power invested in fewer people in government to be able to tell us what we can and can't eat, when and we can't eat it, what we can and can't smoke, where we can and can't smoke it at all.
So this this I think the question rattled the guy.
Hey, how many the Clinton news network comes up?
Well, actually, it makes sense.
A Clinton news network would be after Gore.
You never know what the guy might do.
All right, the Global Warming News, Worldwide Forum on Climate Change in Bali marked the 10th and 10th anniversary of the Kyoto Protocol today, but the celebrations were shadowed by doubts on a new pact to tackle global warming.
A giant birthday cake was unveiled on the sidelines of the talks in Bali to commemorate December 11th, 1997, when the world's most ambitious environment treaty was born in Japan.
Two parties followed in the evening, one hosted by Japanese green groups, the other by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
In its present form, the Kyoto Protocol will not do enough to stem the surge in pollution, which scientists say is badly damaging the Earth's client system, their climate system, worse droughts and floods, rising sea levels, more violent storms, just like that quite away.
They warn.
What I take away from this, ten years ago.
Well, let's go back to 1992 at Rio de Janeiro.
They had another one of these things.
They didn't call it Kyoto, but they had their climate meeting done.
In 1992, we've got 15 years.
15, 20 years to fix it, or we are dead.
Then in 1997, we've got 10 years to get working on this.
Ten years.
And by the way, we're still prospering.
Pollution is coming down.
The earth is warming.
No question about that, so places, but not a whole lot.
So the magic 10 years has gone by and the world has not ended.
And it's nowhere near ending.
Penguins now threatened by global warming.
This is from the UK telegraph.
Four species of penguin are facing a dual threat from loss of nesting sites and a shortage of food.
The environmental and conservation group, the uh World Wildlife Fund, warning that rising temperatures, the resulting loss of sea ice is robbing the emblematic birds of the nesting grounds they need to uh breed successfully.
At the same time, climate change and overfishing has led to a reduction in the available availability of krill.
For those of you in real end of tiny crustrations, uh crustate for those of you in real Indecrustation, what would you just think tadpoles for all you know, which they rely on for their for their food.
But there's a there's a problem uh with this.
It says here, by the way, global warming happening much more quickly in some parts of the continent, particularly the Northwest area known as the Antarctic Peninsula.
Except I uh received a reaction to this today from the official climatologist of the EIB network, Dr. Roy Spencer, University of Alabama at Huntsville, uh former NASA scientist, says, Dear L. Rushball, I'm sure you've seen the WWF report about penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula in decline, based on the fact that the uh the sea ice is melting.
Yet sea ice around Antarctica has been running one million square kilometers above normal for the past couple of months, and he has sent me the charts, and there's the chart.
Those of you watching on the Ditto Cam can see it.
Uh sea ice is expanding in Antarctica.
Greenland is not melting.
None of the things that they say are actually happening, and I don't even believe that the penguins are threatened.
They make all this other stuff up, too.
And the reason they just get to the hearts and minds of little kids.
Mommy, mommy, the penguin, they pigwitz are going to the polar bears.
Why are you and daddy going to kill them?
And that's how this stuff works.
They get the gore movie in school, show these polar bears running around.
Supposedly deserted and stranded on ice that is melting all around them.
Uh it's obscene.
And again, what anno allows it and enables it to succeed?
Ignorance.
Ignorance of people.
The most expensive thing we pay for in this country.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Uh, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all feeling, all everything.
Maha Rushi, a highly trained broadcast specialist here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, down to Gary in Charleston, South Carolina.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Thanks much, and hello.
Rush, uh, good afternoon.
Uh Gary up here in Charleston, South Carolina.
First time caller, and I thank you, sir, for being the pulse of America that keeps us conservatives and everybody else uh upreast of what's going on.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I appreciate that.
The reason for my call is I just uh heard a news uh commentary by uh Harry Reed that has me a little upset being an ex-Marine and knowing a little bit about CIA.
Uh they're having some kind of a hearing or discussion on the destruction of these tapes.
And if my memory serves me correctly, I believe I heard on a previous newscast that they had access to this information a couple years ago.
Here's the thing about that.
There are two things that were the waterboarding and the destruction of the CIA tapes.
Uh of the incident and the uh what what happened, the water boarding, Pelosi was told of it.
Uh there were four members of Congress brought up there and they were told of it after 9-11.
It's happened in 2002, and Pelosi and uh forget who else was in there, the uh forget the prominent names, but the Democrats, are you sure this is tough enough?
The CIA gave a virtual tour of detention facilities and some of the techniques that were going to be used, and Pelosi and others say, Are you sure this is tough enough?
And waterboarding was part of it.
The destruction of the tapes, that's got the Democrats on the impeachment war path uh all over again.
But I'm gonna let me ask you a question about before we get to your point.
I want to ask everybody in the audience a question.
Were we better off that the pictures from Abu Grab got published?
As look at how that tore this nation apart.
Look at the ammo that gave.
The Army was in the process of investigating that.
The military was in the process of getting to the nub of it, and they were going to punish whoever did it.
And those pictures got leaked to the New York Times.
I think the CBS and the New York Times.
Do we really want to sabotage this country's efforts in time of war against people whose intentions are no mystery and tie ourselves in knots?
I think I think the CIA and whoever ended up deciding to get rid of these, and there were prominent men like Jay Rockefeller, who's the Democrat leader of the Intelli Committee back to the time in the Senate, knew full well that they were going to be destroyed.
He didn't say a word for a year.
And that's what you're referring to, I think, specifically.
That's exactly what I'm specifically referring to.
But here's what grabs my gall.
As I listen to this guy, it sounds like a milk toast church mouse with absolutely no authoritarian bearing whatsoever.
Nancy Pelosi's nothing more than a lapdog sitting in a chair.
They've had this information for a number of years, and all of a sudden, at election time, and when everybody or not election time, but getting close to it, where all these cannons are are uh shucking and jiving for position in Iowa.
Here comes the Democratic rake, and they're gonna muck rake the integrity of this country.
I fought for this country.
I have the integrity of this country, and when I see people like this, I cannot understand how these educated lobotomized morons can get put into a position that they're in and stand there with a straight face before that house and question the integrity of this country.
I'll tell you how.
I'll tell you how.
They have willing accomplices in the drive-by media.
And as I've been I've been a sort of this war path all day today, but they also can rely on the ignorance of their own voters.
They have made their own voters feel the same way, this rage and this hatred.
They have ginned it up.
Look at you shouldn't be surprised.
I understand your disgust at this perversion, but you shouldn't be surprised.
These people have been invested in the defeat of the U.S. military in Iraq and the war on terror since 2004.
I mean, I watched uh I watched these hearings uh on uh C SPAN when they had General Petraeus before them.
Uh not well, I don't know if Harry Reid was involved in that.
But they take a man of absolute substance and quality, one of the Right, but it backfired on him.
It backfired, it backfired on him big time, but they were up there accused him of being a liar before he said a word.
Mrs. Clinton did the same thing.
He had a suspend willing disbelief in order to listen to you, General.
These people ought to be so shamed that they ought not want to appear in public, but nobody is shaming them.
The Republicans are not, uh not elected Republicans, and the drive-by media is not going to.
Let look I I appreciate the call, Gary.
We've uh we've got a soundbite here.
Uh and I you probably heard this or a portion of the uh bite from which we have called this excerpt.
This was uh this morning on the on the Senate floor.
Dingy Harry trashes his own country calling for an investigation into the destruction of these tapes.
Interrogations were by using water torture, something that originated in 1492 by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand in the Inquisition.
Stop the tape.
There it is.
Who told him that?
I guarantee you he doesn't know that.
Who told him that?
Media matters?
Resume tape.
Hundreds and hundreds of years later, the great America has reverted to what took place in the Inquisition.
This latest news of destroyed tapes raises far more questions than we have answers.
For example, who was responsible for destroying these tapes?
Why?
Was something being covered up?
The possibility of obstruction of justice is very real.
The American people deserve a full accounting for what took place and answers for all these questions.
Maybe so, Dingie Harry, but the first guy you need to question is your own intel committee chairman Jay Rockefeller, because he knew the tapes existed.
He didn't say a word.
He knew they were going to be destroyed.
He didn't say a word.
He didn't know when they were going to be destroyed, and they didn't tell him when they had been destroyed, but he knew.
He didn't say a word.
Then over in House, Jane Harmon, she knew the tapes are going to be destroyed.
She knew about them before anybody else did, along with Jay Rockefeller.
She didn't say a word.
When she found out the tapes had been destroyed, at least she sent a letter of protest to CIA, but Jay Rockefeller didn't.
So you better bring those two up and make them your first witnesses.
What he described as a church mouse, this uh what was his term of the caller?
This this guy is just insufferable.
Uh and just loves taking to the Senate floor and trashing his own country, waving the white flag of defeat.
The surge won't work.
We've already lost.
In a sane world, this man would have been so shamed over just the last six months.
Every he hasn't succeeded one thing in terms of legislation in the Senate.
He's offered, along with Pelosi, something like sixty resolutions to stop funding, get us out of Iraq.
He has lost every one of them.
He lost trying to repay the alternative minimum tax loss by having it reformed or suspended for a year, whatever they did.
Lost everything, the most ineffective leader of the Senate in my lifetime, and Pelosi is the most ineffective speaker of the House in my lifetime and beyond.
They are walking jokes.
And the fact that they walk around hold their heads high is a s is uh is an indictment of the demands and standards that their own voters ought to have for them.
Now, John Kiriaku is a CIA agent, a former CIA agent, he was uh interviewed this morning on CNN by John Roberts.
Uh so waterboarding.
This this was performed on Abu Zubaidah.
To the best of your knowledge, how long did he last?
It's my understanding he lasted 30 or 35 seconds, which was quite remarkable.
He had been resisting all of this time.
Then within 30 to 35 seconds, he suddenly folded up and said, I'll give you anything you want.
The next day he told his interrogator that Allah had visited him in his cell during the night and told him to cooperate because it would make it easier on the other brothers who had been captured.
It works is the bottom line.
30 to 35 seconds.
It works.
Robert said, Well, uh the big argument with torture is the suspect will tell you anything you want just to stop the torture.
Was that true in this case?
No.
We were concerned about that.
But the information that he provided was vetted and it was corroborated.
So we were able to point to specific cases where we were able to disrupt terrorist attacks based solely on the information that he provided.
I have no doubt that the information gleaned from Abu Zubeda in those early days stopped terrorist attacks and saved lives.
He talked a lot about Al Qaeda's leadership structure and mentioned people who we really didn't have any familiarization with, told us, you know, who we should be thinking about, who we should be looking at, who was important within the organization.
So we were able to focus our investigations.
Yeah, it works.
Democrats say it doesn't work.
By the way, how come nobody asked Bill Clinton to get the CIA to stop waterboarding when he was president during the nineties?
See how he always escapes this stuff?
Thirty-five seconds in Ambuzu by the caved, and the information worked.
Then the Democrats and the Liberals tell us that torture is ineffective, because people will say anything to get out of it and to uh stop it from happening.
And of course, waterboarding is horrible.
It's just absolutely right.
It's terrible, terrible, terrible.
How come nobody cared about whether this was going on during the 90s?
How come Bill Clinton didn't tell a CIA to stop it?
Because there's no accountability for those people.
Because they were soap opera figures.
And that was their value.
Mm-hmm.
Well, that's Mr. Snurdley, the official program observer, rudely interrupting a brilliant point being made by me, has asked a question.
The uh the question being, would these protesters, as in Dinji Harry and others, uh, would they rather have had the country attacked than the uh waterboarding occur and the attacks prevented.
It's an excellent question in a sane world.
But who's going to ask them that?
Nobody's gonna ask him that that matters.
Well, I can ask them, but they're not gonna answer me.
In fact, well, you know what I wish?
I wish the CIA secretly had some of those tapes, could send me one.
I'd put it up on eBay and auction it off again.
Uh but uh I uh the of course it's a it's a it's a it's a wise question.
They would they rather have us be attacked?
Uh the past is irrelevant.
Remember, they're trying to erase from everybody's memory the fact that 9-11 even happened.
This is all about caricaturing George Bush as the modern equivalent of Hitler and Satan.
And as uh we've got to we just we have to stop it it's just it's it's about nothing more than that, and they have the freedom and the confidence that they are not going to be asked questions like that by anybody that they will have to answer.
I can ask it here, they'll never hear about it, and if they do hear about it, they'll just they'll just ignore it.
Jane Harmon.
Um she was on the situation room with Wolf Blitz uh last night on the Clinton News Network.
And blitzer says, I should remember now, Jane Harmon was one of the people that knew of the existence of the tapes.
Uh, and also knew that the uh waterboarding was being she was one of the people that was brought up there along with Pelosi and said, by the CIA, here's what we're gonna do.
This is a virtual tour of the detention facilities and techniques, and there were people in the room that said, Are you sure that all this, including waterboarding, is that enough to get these people?
That was within a year of 9-11.
So Blitzer says, one final question.
Nancy Pelosi, she put out a statement yesterday in the aftermath of the Washington Post story when she was the ranking member in 2002.
Once these video tapes are actually made, she was told about, apparently in these closed door briefings, about waterboarding and other harsh techniques.
The post did a whole piece yesterday saying maybe one member complained.
Did she drop the ball, Nancy Pelosi when she was a ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee?
I don't think so.
And she's speaking for herself.
I wasn't in the meeting she attended, but she says that she has complained about this.
I want to make it very clear.
I thought that the video take uh destroying video tapes was wrong, and I spoke out in 2003.
I think that waterboarding constitutes torture.
I buy John McCain's view of that.
Less than a ringing endorsement of her rival Nancy Pelosi on the uh on the CIA tape.
Uh anyway, you know, that the it's the Queen Bee syndrome in uh in in Washington.
According to the Queen Bee syndrome, ladies and gentlemen, women take out potential threats to their power to secure their role as the only female at the top.
That's not my theory.
That's an actual syndrome.
It's been advanced here by scientists.
Queen B syndrome.
There's no power sharing with women.
Which takes us to Pelosi and two other women in Washington.
Uh Pelosi, you know, Harman was was in line here to become the chairman of the Intel committee in the House when uh the Democrats won it.
And Pelosi kicked her off, said she wasn't gonna get it.
Uh she passed over uh Harmon uh and uh Harman, you know, yet even she gets mad.
Uh first evidence of Queen Bee syndrome.
Uh but she's she's uh now, this is her chance to uh little reciprocity.
It was it was not a total disavowal, but it was a less than ringing endorsement Of uh of of what Pelosi did.
Change course here.
Before we uh before we get back to the phones, it'll happen very quickly.
There's two more sound bites.
Tom Brokaw will not stop talking about talk radio, and we all know talk radio is me.
You know, I know my my parents raised me well, uh raised me right, and told me you're not supposed to make fun of people's peculiarities, but as a highly trained broadcast specialist, my friends.
I must admit, I have never understood how somebody who can't pronounce their L's rose to the top of the news reporting business.
It's just me.
It's just me.
Mt wower.
Mt.
Wower lawyers.
But nevertheless, Charlie Rose, who is literally clueless, uh if it's not happening within a five square block area of New York.
Uh talking to Brocaw about his new book, Boom, Voices of the Sixties, Personal Reflections of the Sixties today.
Charlie Rose says, you say you hope it will be a catalyst for what?
I hope it'll get people talking past ideological food fights and um and trying to find some common ground, trying to decide what of the sixties we want to keep and what we should leave behind.
I've been appearing on uh a lot of radio talk shows, a lot of them uh tilt a little bit to the right or far to the right, and they keep wanting to divide the country up on that spectrum.
And I say, you know, let's get beyond that.
If the solution works, I don't care whether it's liberal or conservative, let's go with the solution.
I think that's what the country is.
I think that they want to change in tone in American politics.
That's where the liberals are because the liberals have lost their monopoly and they're sick and tired, they don't have total power, and so they look at the people who have interrupted their monopoly, i.e.
me, and talk radio as divisive.
When in fact all we're doing is after decades and decades of dominance by the left, we are simply responding, and we're fighting back, and they don't know how to deal with that.
Uh I don't care what a solution's liberal or conservative.
Well, I sure as hell do.
I sure as hell, I don't want any more liberal solutions to things because it's disaster.
And why should we compromise principles just to get along?
What is it?
The Rodney King of news now?
Tom Brokaw.
Here's another bite.
Uh Charlie Rose, well, uh who who do who does all that bode well for on the Democrat side?
Any number of them can probably pull that together.
I think that uh Hillary Clinton probably more than any other candidate is a polarizing candidate to the professional Republicans.
Uh she makes him crazy.
Um certainly does on uh those people who are on the talk show circuit out there.
Obama uh thinks feels very strongly that that's what his role should be.
He's going around saying, and it's I think it's a good campaign point.
But the sixties behind us.
I'm the guy who wasn't there.
Uh yeah, it is the sixties generation last gasp to put their hands around the throat of this nation and start squeezing until the country's in the shape they want it to be.
But you notice here the question.
The subject, of course, Rodney Kingification of America and the news with Tom Brokaw.
I don't care if a solution is liberal.
I don't care if a solution is conservative.
Um, I want to do whatever's wrong.
Well, I do care.
But notice the next question, well, who does this bode well for, Tom, on the Democrat side.
Notice he didn't even think to ask, well, is there anybody out there on the Republican side, Tom, that could uh perhaps accomplish what you uh what you want.
It's fun to see them such in a tizzy.
They cannot defeat us in the arena of ideas, so they have to do what they always do, and that's try to discredit and smear uh and characterize us as things uh that we are not.
Back to the phones as promised, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Sarah, thank you for your patience and welcome to the program.
It's an honor to speak with you, Ros.
Thank you.
Hey, I just wanted to tell you, um, last week I was not surprised because I listened to you and I'm informed, but I was appalled when on Saturday morning I sat down to watch cartoons with my five-year-old son.
What channel?
Uh it was one of the national networks.
I don't even know which one.
Okay.
We were not on it long enough for me to even figure out which one it was.
But the cartoon had the good guys were these little blue guys, and the bad guys were these red guys with flames coming out of their head.
And they were watching it oh, it gets better.
They were watching a movie in a movie theater.
And in the movie, of course, it showed all the typical things, you know, the ice caps melting, and it was all about global warming, and you know, oh, the polar bears are losing their homes, and you know, your your house is going to be flooded and all of that.
And then they said, Well, there are some scientists who don't believe that global global warming is a problem.
And I actually thought, wow, they're gonna, you know, show the other side of this.
Well, instead, they showed the epitome of the caricature of a professor sitting behind a desk in the desert, sipping a tall glass of iced tea, and he said, Global warming really is a good thing because the warmer it gets, the better my iced tea tastes.
That was his comment.
And but you know, it's it's for these little these little characters, blue guys and the red guys with flames coming out of their heads.
Yes, the the flame.
Yeah.
I mean, it basically, and then it was um it was then it's you know, kind of switched topics, and they said, you know, well, you know, what's causing global warming?
And of course they said, we are.
I mean, that was their entire answer.
We are, and it showed gridlock, you know.
See, this is I'm glad you know that I'm glad you switched it off.
This is this is the kind of propaganda's taking place that I so eloquently uh uh referenced earlier.
But you know, this is this is not new stuff.
I know.
Do you remember Captain Planet, the Ted Turner cartoon?
Well, guess what that was?
Yeah.
Well, I turned the funny thing is I turned it off and I told my son, we're not watching this.
And he said, Why?
It's not scary, you know, because that's typically why I turn things off and don't let him watch something.
It's not scary.
And I looked at him and I laughed and I said, It might not be scary to you, buddy, but it is very scary to me.
Oh, good.
We're not watching it.
Mommy was scared by a cartoon, Daddy.
Exactly.
How old is your son?
He's five.
Oh, he's too young to start talking to about this stuff in great detail.
But yeah, but I mean, it was it was just a I couldn't believe it.
I it just even with as informed as I am.
Believe it.
It took all he's only gonna get it every day when he starts grade school and gets into junior high.
I am warning you.
This stuff is pervasive, it's out there.
I have to take a break.
I'm really up against it on time.
I don't mean to be rude, but I'm I'm really glad you called Sarah and you were.
By the way, Sarah's uh one of my all-time top ten female names.
You should know that.
Thanks.
Yeah, back in just a second, folks.
Stay with us.
Your guiding light, the times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, despair, tumult, chaos, torture, waterboarding, humiliation, and even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in broadcasting network is fascinating.
I got a note from a friend of mine, an email, uh, eight o'clock last night.
I didn't see it till much later, but I got the note at eight o'clock last night from a friend of mine, a former member of the drive-bys, who has reformed.
Uh believe me, Mr. Snerdley, it's possible.
When you know me, and you're in the drive-by meeting, you get to know me, you will reform.
It happens.
The note from the friend's subject line says, I can tell you this, the story where the female security guard in Colorado who took down the wacko gunman gives credit to God, will make traditional media outlets nuts.
The security guard, who is a babe, by the way, Gina Summ, said, I give the credit to God, and I say that very humbly.
God was with me, and the whole time I was behind cover, this has got to be God because of the fire power that the gunman had versus what I had was God.
I didn't run away.
I didn't think for a minute to run away.
I just knew that I was given the assignment to end this before it got too much worse.
I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me.
Witnesses said her hands were not even shaking.
So I get this note.
Traditional media outlets gonna go nuts.
She praised God.
Lo and behold.
I have here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers From the Associated Press out of Colorado Springs.
The security guard being credited.
Imagine that lingo.
Being credited with shooting the gunman responsible for the killings in a church and missionary training center in Colorado had been fired as a police officer in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis police say that Gina Somm worked for the city's department from 93 to 97, was fired for lying during an internal investigation.
The president of the police officers federation of Minneapolis says police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus.
He says Assam denied that she swore to drive her, but her actions were caught on tape.
The gunman was shot at the site of the second shooting new life church.
So exactly what my friend and a former member of the drive-by's predicted.
To recap this, AP makes a big whoop out of the fact that the Colorado Springs hero who let Jesus take the wheel and used a gun to stop a nut was fired ten years ago.
And note the first line the security guard being credited with shooting.
The gun being credited.
Ed in Milford, Connecticut.
I have a couple of minutes, but I wanted to get to you because you've been holding on for quite a while.
Thank you.
Ed.
Hi, Rush.
Um, the optimism that you're showing, I appreciate it most of the time, but it's making me a little nervous.
And what it figures I gotta get a call now.
And uh what it is is um we had a lot of um a lot of optimism last election.
We got our butts handed to us.
Guy called up, I think it was yesterday that said to you, which Republican can Hillary not beat?
Is that what you said?
Uh neither.
Oh, I'm sorry, I must have got it wrong.
I thought you had uh suggested that she couldn't beat any of them.
Yeah, well, that's what I said.
Well, he gave me two Republican names, didn't he?
And I said, which one be easy for Hillary to beat?
I said, neither.
Okay, well, I disagree.
I think that's the way that's the case.
The keyword was easy.
I'm sorry?
The keyword was easy.
Well, I think that woman could walk away beating anybody given if the wind blows correctly.
Are you so afraid of this?
Well, she puts her pants on one leg at a time like every other guy does.
Why are you so afraid of her?
Well, it's not her that I'm afraid of.
I'm afraid of ourselves because we don't seem to have the balls to go after this woman.
You get speeches like Oprah made the other day.
I just said, do not delete that.
Um talking to the engineer, we're gonna let that stand.
Uh since it's talking to Mrs. Clinton its truth and action.
So there was a speech the other day by Oprah.
She made all these messianics.
That's right.
They're trying to make Obama out to be messianic.
Yeah, right.
So why don't we go after and start making arguments about the separation of church and state and be as ridiculously childish as they are.
Well, look, I will agree with you.
I can tell you for a fact, I know this.
Republicans in Washington elected both sides are dispirited as hell because they're leaderless.
They're leaderless.
They need a leader.
I don't mistake my optimism for the fact that I plan on enjoying my life regardless who wins.
I'm not, I'm not gonna make myself miserable.
I'm gonna do everything I can to to see that my guys win, guy, girl, whatever, but I'm not.
Um you're mistaking optimism for the fact that I'm generally happy most of the time.
In fact, I've never been happier.
But I do think if we get a leader in something had thing cracks the white way, we don't have to concede defeat already.
That Colorado security guard, that act of heroism, she's now being newsboarded for it.
News boarded, our new term for being hit by the drive by.
See you tomorrow, folks.
