Time Text
Hiya, folks, and welcome back.
Here we are, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up, executing my assigned host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
The email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
John Kerry taking credit for introducing Barack Obama to America.
We have two audio soundbites, number 26 and number 27 out there.
I just told them the engineer we're going to start with number nine, and I just changed it on the fly.
That's why I have to give him the numbers.
I know the numbers mean nothing to you.
But they they do, of course, mean something to us.
We have two sound bites that carry endorsing Obama.
Here's number one.
I was proud to help introduce Barack to the nation when I asked him to speak to our national convention in 2004.
Teresa and I were stirred by the way that he eloquently reminded us of the fact that our true genius is faith in simple dreams and insistence on small miracles.
And we were all of us moved by the power with which he shattered the shallow stereotype, reminding people all across America.
In the red states and the blue states, we also worship an awesome God.
Holy criminally.
Where was this stuff?
Where was talk of God during his presidential campaign?
At any rate, I didn't know that Kerry introduced Obama to the nation.
I My memory is pretty good.
But I uh I don't remember this.
But this is, you know, I just wonder, I mean, in the in the grand scheme of things, is this going to anger women?
That John Kerry is not endorsing Hillary.
You know, Hillary's been in the Senate longer than has uh than Obama.
Don't forget something I told you yesterday, folks, and I'm I'm gonna keep pounding this, and a lot of people sent me emails saying I don't understand this, Rush.
Uh you know, you're always right, and you'll probably be right on this, but I don't get this now.
Um here's the key.
Everybody thinks all of us, well, not me, but a lot of people who are not Democrats have this uh attitude that Democrats are just awesomely powerful, never make a mistake, that they're always strategically two or three weeks ahead of everybody else,
that nothing that happens is an accident, that if something appears to be going bad for Democrats, it's only because they want it to appear that way, that nothing bad ever really happens to them, that nothing devastating ever really happens to them.
And this is because 40 years of conditioning.
Uh, and plus you've got puff coverage from the drive-bys for all of these years about Democrats who never held any standards whatsoever.
Electored elected Democrats.
The truth is that the Democrat Party right now is in chaos, and it's in chaos precisely because they are scared to death that they are gonna lose regardless who their nominee is.
Who are the choices?
Well, the way you have to understand that we're talking about Democrats and liberals here, folks, and this is the key to this.
Democrats and liberals think that we, conservatives, are racist, sexists, and all those other things.
In fact, it is they who are those things.
It is liberals who look at a human being and first notice a skin color, be gender, then they get into sexual orientation, then they get into all kinds they have this is the way they see people.
They also use projection quite uh uh commonly and regularly, and so it is it is us, they think who are racists and sexists.
If you look at the Bush administration, you'll find more blacks in position of power than have ever been in positions of power appointed by a president during Clinton, uh JFK, you I mean you name it.
All that's ignored.
Colin Powell ignored, Condoleezza Rice ignored, well, they're just sellouts.
Uh to somebody it's it is stunning.
And so, given those realities of their attitude, they are flummoxed.
They've got one of two people who's going to get their nomination, either a black guy or a white woman.
And they think that we will be able to exploit either one because we are expert racists, expert sexists, and they are they are wringing their hands in angst over how they can beat us back once either of these two people are chosen as the nominee.
And that's the chaos.
They are not, they are not going to go forward with what they are for.
And I've talked about this over and over again.
They can't really be honest about what they are for, or they don't have a prayer.
They have to mask it and camouflage it.
But now their their real fear is that they think we're going to be able to beat either one of them, either with sexism or disguised racism.
Meanwhile, it is Bill Clinton himself who's out there trying to destroy Obama with sexism.
And a lot of other democracy.
I mean, here's Hillary saying that Barama's the Obama's not done the spade work on foreign policy.
Clinton calling Obama a fairy tale and a kid.
Martin Luther King needed LBJ to oh, yeah, it was Hillary.
And a lot of liberals are rallying around Hillary on this comment.
Well, yeah, he can say he's uh Martin Luther King, but Martin Luther King would have been nothing without a Democrat president, LBJ, who did the Civil Rights Act.
Dirty little secret is Civil Rights Act would have never been passed into law were it not for Republicans in the Senate.
The greatest greatest percentage of people in the Senate opposed to the Civil Rights Act were Democrats, among them the mentor of Bill Clinton, J. William Fulbright of Arkansas.
They filibustered the damn thing.
They fill a bunch of white Democrat Southerners, racists, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
So while they practice all of this racism and sexism.
I mean, the drive-by media is a bunch of libs.
Look at the sexism they have aimed at Hillary.
I mean, you think it's not sexism for Chris Matthews to say the only reason she's got it where she is because her husband messed around, let's admit it.
The only reason she's senator is because her husband messed around.
People feel sorry for her.
People feel, in addition to being sorry, they they they think, well, good, she hung in there and it's her turn now.
She's owed this.
Whatever.
But because they think that way.
They think everybody does.
They think we do.
They don't think they think that way while they're thinking it, and they're just sitting out there concerned as they can be about how we are going to be able to beat either one of these people because we are racists and sexists and bigots and homophobes and all these other things.
So now you have Kerry endorsing Obama, and you're going to have a lot of people on the Democrat side saying one of two things.
Would you shut up?
You lost.
This is not helping Obama, which means you're actually trying to help Hillary.
If you really wanted to help Obama, why wouldn't you endorse him in New Hampshire?
At least New Hampshire borders Massachusetts where you're from, it might have had an impact.
Well, what the hell?
You didn't even contest South Carolina, Kerry.
And he's down there.
He didn't.
You remember this?
He wrote it off.
He said Edward's down every couple of periods, but he wrote it off.
It was Kerry saying, I know, you don't need Southern states to become president.
And he's now living proof that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Here's a second uh soundbite of his endorsement of Obama.
There are other candidates in this race with whom I have worked and who I respect.
Who?
They're terrific public servants.
Who?
And each of them could be president tomorrow, and each would fight to take this country in the right direction.
Name name.
But I believe that more than anyone else, Barack Obama can help our country turn the page and get America moving by uniting and ending the division that we have faced.
You know, I was forget where I was reading this morning.
It might have been American thinker.
I'm not sure.
I'll try to find it.
Somebody has gone back and studied uh uh is studied Obama's speeches and examined previous speeches in American politics and has found an amazing similarity to Barack Obama in 2008 and Richard Nixon in 1968 in terms of the content of their speeches.
Uh the point of the research was to say there's nothing new about This guy.
Nothing new about what he's saying.
This theme of change and unifying America and loftier visions and loftier goals from JFK.
Ask not.
What your country can do for you, ask what you can do.
All these all these lofty things.
Nothing new whatsoever about Obama.
But people want to think that there's something new on the Democrat side.
And so they are attaching it.
Well, people want to be inspired, but yes, but people, there's no question they want leadership.
And they want to be inspired.
And uh Obama is doing it.
But the point is he's not the first to come along to be able to do it, and yet he's being hailed here by this is revolutionary.
Or at least it's JFK all over again, or Martin Luther King, uh, whichever.
Uh but none of it is new, yet uh people's memories are short, particularly young people who don't have memories because they weren't alive back in that era.
And this is how politics sort of recycles itself.
Um I'm I have to laugh, folks.
I watch these debates and I hear all this talk about change.
Change what?
I hear all this talk about getting a negative uh stuff out of politics.
I've been hearing that on 56.
I've been hearing this for every year I can remember remembering.
Uh there just there's nothing new here in in terms of the way the Democrats are running their campaign, and that presents such a golden opportunity that's being so missed by our guys on the right.
As we can be inspirational too, in a way that is substantive, based on the ideology of conservatism.
We don't have to fake it.
But some of our guys, most of them just haven't figured it out.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, let's go to the phones.
People have uh have been waiting patiently as I have been getting away here with diarrhoea of the mouth.
Uh this is Kathy in Witch Talk.
Kathy, thanks for waiting.
You're up next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Fine.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I just wanted to say I really am insulted by the media's response to how Hillary is crying.
I mean, who cares?
It just seems like they just give her a pass at everything.
Uh, you know, when she was asked, you know, by Chris Matthews about the illegal immigrant thing.
Remember, they were supposed to send her softball questions, and we're supposed to be soft with her, and we're supposed to be all loving with her and gentle with her, but it just doesn't seem like they want to deal with real issues.
And even this morning on NBC, they brought up past presidents that were crying.
And it was just to us, we just all started laughing because it's like, who cares?
What are the issues?
I have no idea what Obama believes.
I don't even know what Hillary's standing for.
But you know, because all they do is say they want to have a change.
So anyway, I just Well, in Hillary's case, it's all about her power.
I mean, this is it's it's all about her and Bill getting back in the White House saying whatever she has to do to do that.
But ex you um you have an interesting perception here on the press reaction to her crying, because it was it was the drive-by's when she cried, and when she lost it in that debate on Saturday night, it was the drive-by's, and particularly those on cable news at night, which started mocking her and started making fun of her and started suggesting that this was the end.
Then the polling came out, and she was down either five to ten, twelve points to Obama, and they had buried her.
And they were running around saying it's over, and they're doing stories about how will she get out of the race now, the era of Clinton is over.
Then all of a sudden, the actual votes are counted, and she wins by two or three points.
And then the drive-by's trying to figure out what went wrong.
The first thing they did was examine their polling.
And by the way, I predicted this yesterday, a little bit of a sidebar here.
I said that they're going to have to get to the bottom of this, find out what happened here on the Democrat side, because this was one of the biggest blows that anybody in polling has ever made since they've been doing this, was outrageously wrong, and they're going to have to find out what happened.
And so they've done a couple days of investigation now, and guess what?
There was nothing wrong.
There were there was nothing wrong.
We'll have that stack coming up in just a second.
So, anyway, she wins, Kathy.
And yesterday I explained to the country why women went to her on the Democrat side in droves.
So today, the drive-by's are now in gear and they're sympathetic to her.
They've done a 180 prior to the actual vote in New Hampshire.
They were burying her, and they were being mean.
And that is one of the things that drove women to her in the ballot box on Tuesday.
Now they're they're still not talking about issues, but they're talking about the tears and how it worked and how marvelous it is.
They're just, you know, they're growing it out of proportion, I think.
Isn't it a liberal state anyway?
Um Yeah, it's more liberal than it used to be.
It's certainly not the national bellwether that it used to be.
Uh New Hampshire primary used to be a pretty good indication who was going to win both parties' nominations is not that so much anymore.
But uh in their mind they're they're they're not they're not making too big a deal about it because they were so wrong.
See to the drive by everything's about them.
I mean they're there's you can disagree folks but I mean it really this is this is the most these people give more wards to each other.
They have more television shows analyzing their work and how they do it than any industry on earth including Hollywood.
Well there's no truth anymore like with the global warming I mean nobody questions it and you know I'm you're just sitting around my husband works for an evil oil company and it's crazy you know it's like well we could have really cheap gas out there if people you know would call their senators and China's even drilling off our coast in Florida so it's crazy.
There's no such thing as truth anymore.
No, because they're all advocates and this happens when they lost their monopoly in 1988.
They've chosen sides and they're being they're being blatant about it.
But here's something else you said earlier you didn't know you don't know what Obama stands for what he's saying.
Did you hear his acceptance speech concession speech when he came in second y there was there was oh all I hear is they want to change.
They want to change they want to change he talked about ridding the country of the tyranny of oil now people have got to understand Obama may be inspirational.
He may be young and he may have this uh mellifluous voice that's have a uh uh profoundly uh charismatic inspirational effect but if you listen to what he's saying he's every bit as liberal as anybody the Democrats have ever not the tyranny of oil rid the country of the tyranny of oil.
Mrs. Clinton is essentially said the same thing is going to take their profits right now this personality uh contest is exactly that.
It's not about issues.
The liberals don't care.
This one they're not running for anything that uh you you're you're wanting the drive by's to expose issues and the Democrats ain't gonna happen because they already have the fixed assumption that whatever issues Hillary or Obama want, they're far superior to our side.
They don't have to be explained.
Everybody knows it.
Are you mad at Chris Matthews for asking too hard of questions at the debate?
No, that was Russert.
That was Russick that asked her about the driver's license for illegals in New York.
Right and so we can't ask her we only have to ask her soft things to make her look soft because I don't know I think back to Vince Fox foster and I didn't ever see her once crying over her husband's affairs with different women like Lewinsky and stuff here.
So these are things I would have cried over and I would have, you know I think a strong woman would have just divorced that man a long time ago.
You know so I don't know she couldn't divorce him she wouldn't be anywhere without his last name.
You know Hello Feminism tried to Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't work.
She backed Hillary Clinton.
I mean some of them still used the Rod him but she's asked him to officially dump it.
She's Hillary Clinton now.
She wouldn't be where she is were it not for her last name Dirty little secret everybody knows.
Gail in um in Homewood Illinois I'm glad you called welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, sir Rush.
How are you today?
Fine, thanks very much I have a point regarding Hillary and her crying I it was totally flabbergasted.
What does she think being president's gonna be it's gonna be a cakewalk compared to campaigning this runaway media is just ridiculous about it.
Because look they're they're the you have the the media has got to explain to itself why they blew it.
You know it's about them they've got egg on their face.
What was it that caused them to miss this?
And that's why they're focusing on the crying and the tears they're focusing on how magical it was and how fooled they were and how wonderfully it worked and all of that it is what it is because the media are who they are.
And I I frankly think your comment about if she thinks campaigning is tough, what about this this folk?
This was calculated now.
I mean, even uh Jesse uh Jacks Jr. is out making the observation you just did.
Wait a minute.
She didn't cry after Katrina.
She didn't cry during Bill's philandering, she didn't cry during any of these other things.
Why cry?
She didn't cry over soldiers being killed in Iraq.
She didn't cry over that.
What's she cry?
It's it's it's it's all nothing that happens with the Clintons is coincidence, and they see it working.
It is what it is, folks.
All right, let's move on to the Republican side here for just a second.
Although I do want to get back to this uh the uh Hillary and women.
Camille Pallia in her latest posting at Salon.com is just I mean it's there's a butcher knife here.
And you know, Camille Paglia, one of the most brilliant arts professors.
She teaches at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
She is a just a hardly a better writer out there, and her use of language, uh, her turn of phrase.
It's just here, let me just read it to you.
I mean, it's very long.
This is just some excerpts.
Uh at her point here that Hillary has no core values, and I'm bouncing using this to bounce off the caller Kathy, so I don't know what Hillary stands for.
She stands for herself, and whatever she has to do to get where she wants.
Just no more complicated than that.
With no core values, Hillary is fluid to change personalities on a whim.
Hillary's weakness to tolerate Bill's compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men, writes Camille Paglia.
She distrusts them.
She feels morally superior to them, following the pattern of her long-suffering mother.
She thinks it's her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause, which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near messianic personal ambition.
It's no coincidence that Hillary's staff has always consisted mostly of adoring women with nerdy or geeky guys forming an adjunct brain trust, think Sidney Blumenthal for one.
I added that, not Camille Paglia.
Hillary's rumored hostility to uniform military men and some Secret Service agents early in the first Clinton presidency probably belongs to this pattern.
And let's not forget Hillary, the governor's wife, pulling out a book and rudely reading in the bleachers during University of Arkansas football games back in Little Rock.
Hillary's disdain for masculinity fits right into the classic feminazi package, which is why Hillary acts on glorious stinum-like catnip.
But Hillary herself, with her thin, spotty record, tangled psychological baggage, and maundering blowhard of a husband.
He's also a mighty big roll of the dice.
She's a brittle, relentless manipulator with few stable core values, who shuffles through useful personalities like a card shark.
Cue the tears.
Forget all her little gold crosses.
Hillary's real god is political expediency.
Do Americans truly want this hard-bitten Machiavellian back in the White House?
Day one will just be more the same.
This is Camille Pallia.
A liberal, ladies and gentlemen, writing of Hillary Clinton.
Salon.com.
Rich Lowry posted something interesting yesterday at National Review Online.
He entitled it The McCain Weakness.
This is what he wrote.
This is it.
Conservatives were 54% of the electorate in New Hampshire, and McCain lost to Romney among those conservatives by seven points.
When the race moves south, conservatives will probably be seventy-five to eighty percent of the electorate, and they will presumably dominate In closed primaries, but this is the thing.
At the outset, it looked like the way the early states were stacked up would help Romney.
But once Romney lost Iowa, they were stacked up to help McCain.
The Arizona Senator might be able to all but knock Romney out of the race in Michigan with another strong showing among independents, meaning he could possibly KO Romney without ever beating him handily among Republicans.
Weird, huh?
Then with Romney gone, McCain's presumably competing with Huckabee and Rudy, although Fred's still lurking out there for those conservative voters, and that's a fight that he could win.
Now this is, you know, this is really fascinating.
And it also illustrates how little people actually knew before all these primaries began.
All this hype about who has to win where and who has to win what is meaningless.
You have two st except for what I said.
Yeah, Iowa and New Hampshire, two states that do not feature conservatives.
Caucus is a weird setup in Iowa, and of course, New Hampshire.
Anybody can cross the state line and vote.
And among conservatives, Romney beat McCain by seven points.
It was with independence.
Now we're Republicans.
And theoretically, we're out there trying to nominate a conservative to run for the presidency, or as close to one as we can get.
And yet the guy who wins New Hampshire is going all over the board, okay, and the guy who wins Iowa getting votes from independents, who by definition are not conservatives.
This is why, folks, this is precisely why McCain and Huckabee are feverishly trying to get Romney out now, as soon as they can.
And this is why they are being vicious in their attacks on Romney.
And this is why we repeatedly point out here that the states that allow independents and even Democrats to vote in their Republican primaries are not indicative of the Republican Party, which is why McCain and Huckabee have shots in them.
McCain and Huckabee are winning these early states where Republicans are outnumbered.
It's not Republicans, it's not conservatives in majority who are electing Huckabee or McCain so far, voting for them.
And Michigan is the same.
Now, the Democrats in Michigan, they've got a little bit different problem because Michigan violated party rules and is running ahead of when the party wanted to, so Michigan's getting no delegates.
The Republican Party is penalizing Michigan a little, but not totally.
So there are delegates at stake for the Republicans in Michigan.
So Hillary is the only person on the ballot in Michigan.
Nobody else is competing there.
The Democrat Party in Michigan is urging people on the Democrat side to vote nobody.
They don't want them crossing the aisle.
They want nobody at b because they're they're they're trying to to get even with the party and make amends at the same time to try to get some delegates that can vote and count uh in in uh in the at the convention.
So they're trying to get people not to vote for him.
They don't want him crossing the aisles and voting in the Republican side.
But McCain clearly wants that, uh, which is what happened last time in Michigan in 2000, and Huckabee clearly wants that.
So if McCain and Huckabee can combine to pick up most of the independent Democrat vote, and even if if if Romney gets most of the Republican vote, he's still going to be outnumbered.
And so Romney will be defeated if this happens in three states, not by Republicans voting against him, by Democrats and independents.
And this is key to understand, and it's it's fascinating because Romney figured Iowa and New Hampshire would launch him.
Now he's got to go to Michigan, he's got to go to Nevada, and then everybody's got to go to South Carolina.
So it's um it's it's it's fascinating to me, folks.
Here we have Republican primaries in which Democrats and independents are determining our winners.
It's important that you understand that.
Uh Romney, what I hate to say this, but Romney may be out of this before we ever get to states where a majority of Republicans, conservative Republicans, are gonna vote.
And look at who their choices might be then.
Not only he's gonna get out, uh, but I mean, the definition he's done, he's cooked, he's lost four, hasn't won one.
Uh at some point you got to win something for momentum.
It's the time you get South Carolina Super Tuesday, Republicans might have as their two choices people that are, you know, not conservatives, that have been nominated and been elected, I should say, and have their leads based on votes from Democrats and independents.
Can you say screwed?
Back to the phones.
Joan in Osining, New York.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Um, you m yesterday you mentioned about uh an opponent such as uh Obama going against the Clinton machine.
And it occurred to me that the uh Chicago machine is also very formidable.
I mean, uh I was always under the impression that they were the ones responsible for getting JFK into the White House.
Yeah, that in West Virginia.
Don't forget the West Virginia machine when it comes to JFK.
Nobody talks about that because of the Daily Machine in Chicago, but West Virginia waited to the last minute, too.
They had a little bit of a surprise for people where JFK has wins.
But you're right.
The Daily Machine in Chicago m you know, Obama's not this innocent little wallflower that's floated into politics here uh and and is being assaulted by the Democrat established.
He's got his own machine, and he's played some dirty pool to get where he's destroyed some people to get where he's gotten, right?
Yes.
Uh I think it was Ryan, the uh congressman who pretty much had that uh uh Senate seat before uh it wasn't just Ryan or so on him.
There's some woman, I'm having a drawing of metal block when he ran for the state senate.
There was some woman he ran all over to get her seat.
I forget the details of it.
And of course nobody said what he did to this poor woman.
Nobody said that back.
Well, some of them might have said it, but it didn't have any impact.
Uh yeah, it was this Ryan guy who uh uh divorce files were secret.
There was some there was some sort of rumors and stories about you know crazy wild sex life kids involved, this sort of thing, and uh Ryan tried to keep the file secret, the judge made him release it, and that launched Obama.
It was a it was a scandal, not uh not brilliant ideas, and not great policy.
Um he's got his own land deal scandal, too, that ABC News is finally gonna start looking into.
So he's not one of these clean and pure as the wind driven snow newcomers uh that doesn't have any baggage.
And you know, Clinton ain't go find it at the right time.
Are you still there?
Yes.
Yeah.
Your theory is that the Chicago machine will have some surprises for Clinton.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, it's gonna be fun.
I'm sure the Clinton machine thinks that they own the Chicago machine.
We'll be back after this, folks.
Stay with us.
A woman's name in Illinois that Obama dispatched was Alice Palmer.
And when he defeated Alice Palmer in the uh in the state Senate in uh Illinois, it uh it won Obama instant attention and alliance of a longtime Illinois president of the Senate, uh Amy Lones.
So he's got experience.
He got a lot taking out female senators, and it was brutal.
Yes, I say he's not this wallflower that's waltzing in here.
Uh the f nobody that gets elected to the United States Senate is some outsider.
Uh and they're not they're not these clear and pure, clean and pure as the wind-driven snow people that are uncorrupted by any of this.
This is big business.
Like any other business, you rise to the top in a certain way.
It is it is uh it is rare that the milkman would be elected to the United States Senate, uh, or that the local mechanic would be elected, your congressman.
Can happen in House of Representatives a little bit easier than it can, for example, in the Senate.
But it Obama's not some waif walking in with pure innocence here to clean up the so-called uh mess.
Now, I want to I want to clarify something.
I might have left the impression that Romney would get out after Michigan.
The press is talking about that.
The press once again repeating the mistakes.
If he doesn't win in New Hampshire, he's finished.
He's gone.
He's still in there and he leads the delegate count right now.
And they're saying if he doesn't win Michigan, he's gonna get out.
It's done, he's finished.
He's not gonna get out.
He will precisely not get out until Super Tuesday, because the real conservative voices in terms of the American people have not been heard.
It's independents and Democrats who have given victories to Huckabee and McCain so far.
Uh it was Romney who won a majority of Republican votes in New Hampshire, but they were outnumbered by all the other people that could cross over and vote from whatever party or no party.
So Romney's not gonna his strategy is to wait till Republican conservatives actually start voting here in these primaries, and they haven't yet, in terms of a majority, and it's not gonna be the case in Michigan either.
Here's Nicolette in Bellevue, Nebraska.
Hi, Nicolette, thank you for waiting.
Hi there.
Early happy birthday dittoes.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I believe.
Wish you hadn't said that.
No, sorry.
Well, my oldest son has the same birthday as you.
Oh don't say what it is, please.
I try to downplay this every year.
Okay, so did Snerdly tell you to say this.
No.
No.
Um as I watched Hillary cry.
All I could think of was how she was being perceived outside of our borders around the world.
Anna, this is no Margaret Thatcher, and the lack of credibility causes her as a potential leader of this country seems to be going over the heads of the women that you commented on today.
And uh I think that I have certain strengths as a woman that I don't have when I try to usurp a man's role.
All right.
Let me uh let me pause the theory.
I interviewed yesterday Kenneth Timmerman, who's written a book about the shadow government out to destroy the Bush administration and particularly Bush foreign policy.
War in Iraq, war on terror, war in Afghanistan.
Fascinating book of his and a fascinating interview yesterday coming up in the next issue of the newsletter.
And he said something, he's just saying a lot of things.
You know what?
What the rest of the world knows, what the militant Islamist world knows is that if we elect a Democrat president next year, we will have war with Iran.
And I said, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Uh we will have war with Iran.
I said, how how do you figure that?
He said, because the Iranians know nobody will stop us.
Uh stop 'em.
The Iranians know that there isn't a Democrat out there who will stop it.
They'll they'll if if if the Iranians start making noise about things uh and start launching some salvos, the first thing Democrats will do is launch a diplomatic army around the world and start talking to people.
And so I uh I mentioned this to you because you asked what the rest of the world is thinking when they see Hillary Clinton cry when uh with the rest of the world, particularly the enemies, our enemies in the world are salivating for the Democrats to win the presidency in 2008, precisely because I mean they listen to them.
I mean, they've been giving advice to them.
They've been using talking points.
Harry Reed Pelosi say things, Al Qaeda and Zawahiri repeat them in their next tapes.
Uh it's sickening.
Uh, but they are of the opinion and Democrats aren't going to do anything to stop them.
Yeah.
And so when they see Hillary cry, hey, fits the fits of panic.
They I don't know how affected they are by any of that.
They're just convinced that there's a Democrats win, they've got a little bit smoother sailing, that they they don't think there could be anybody worse from their perspective than George W. Bush, standing in their way, opposing them, beating them back.
They know full well, whatever Democrats elected, they are not gonna have to deal with somebody like Bush anymore, which to them is a Christmas present or a Oliper, whatever they call it.
And for us it's totally frightening.
Well, it is.
It is totally this is about serious stuff, and we've had some people call today say, Can we get off the tears business?
It's serious stuff.
The tears are serious stuff, and the way they're being covered is serious stuff.
You know, it's an issue.
It's being made an issue by the Clintons, it's being made an issue by the drive-byers.
We gotta deal with it here and put it in proper perspective.
Well, it's not a soap opera.
It is a soap opera.
The Clintons are a soap opera, remember.
No, no, no.
I mean, they're paur in the world is not a soap opera.
From their perspective, they're gonna pull all the strings.
Yeah.
You know, Camille Polly is right.
These people are messianic.
And Obama's messianic.
These people think that uh uh there are halos over their heads, and that they and they alone are the only ones who can save this country from whatever evil uh Republicans have uh have put in place here.
Well hey, we've got a new football coach here, Rush.
You and Justice Thomas are gonna have to come back for another game.
Uh well, I'd I'd be glad to come back for another game.
I what's that the middle block in a coach's name?
Polaney.
That's right.
That's right.
Yes.
Well, I talked to Just Thomas about he's excited about the guy.
Yeah.
Well, I think a lot of people just so you know.
All right, Nicolette, I have to run.
I appreciate the call.
Thanks much.
A uh brief time out, quick return, don't go away.
Still lots to go here on the Rush Limbaugh program heading into open line Friday.
I can't believe the fastest week in media.
I mean, I I missed a day this week because of a funeral, but it's still zipping by Thursday already.
We come back.
I have the story of how Barack Obama destroyed Alice Palmer, who was a genuine Chicago civil rights icon in his race for the state senate in Illinois.
We'll be back.
