Time Text
All righty then.
Corrupt audio sound by number three, Mr. Broadcast Engineer.
Have a confirmation on that, please.
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain Rush Limboy having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have behind a golden EIB microphone.
Here we are already at Wednesday, the fastest, uh fastest week in media.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
All right, folks, time to fire point blank, dead between the eyes.
I am getting a number of email complaints from people who are identifying themselves anyway as conservatives, who are saying that they have lost faith in me, that this is not what conservatism is all about, this is not the way conservatives should operate.
Let me let me tackle it this way.
I think if I may be serious for a moment, we're in a war, a political war in this country, and only one side is fully engaged, and that's the enemy.
And our enemy happens to be liberalism, which is found in the Democrat Party.
I have played sound bites all morning, afternoon long members of the drive-by media who have accused me of perverting their process.
Perverting the electoral process.
I have been accused of being ungentlemanly, all of this because I suggested, did not make, did not demand, did not require, and I suggested that uh Republicans in Texas and Ohio cross over and vote for Mrs. Clinton in the primaries in order to keep the bloodletting in the Democrat Party going to keep them in a state of chaos.
To see to it that their nomination fight wouldn't be not wrapped up until they go to the convention.
Can we talk about who these people are?
Who are liberals?
These are people you want to talk about perversion?
These are people who've done their best to pervert the Constitution of the United States.
These are people who've done their best to con to pervert the court system of the United States.
These are the people who have done their best to pervert basic morality.
I mean, after all, here they are wailing and they're whining and they're moaning Monday night, last night, this morning, about the immorality of my suggesting that you cross over and vote for Hillary.
The same people who do not want to have a discussion on morality as it relates to abortion are the same people who now want to have a discussion on the morality of people voting when they plainly reserve for themselves the right to cross over into our party and choose our nominee for the express purpose of sabotaging our nomination process.
Do you people actually think that the Democrats and independents that crossed over in the early Republican primaries for Senator McCain did so because they want him to be elected president?
Quite the contrary.
You might be whistling Dixie and and and fooling yourselves, but please I ask you not to do that.
These are the people who have done their best to pervert the war in Iraq.
These are the people who have done their best to secure defeat in the war in Iraq and the war on terror.
These are the people who seek to pervert any number of American traditions and institutions that have come to define the greatness of this country.
And I, for one, am not content to sit by and let this be a one-sided fight.
I think this is uh, you know, the the quintessential discussion that we're having here is who is going to triumph in this battle of ideas within the political arena of ideas To shape the future of the country.
And I just, as you know, if you've been listening here regularly, I'm a little bit alarmed at our party's reluctance to engage the battle.
For whatever reason.
And look at what happens when you do engage the battle.
Look at what happens to the left when you do engage them.
I told in the first hour I said, look at you media people.
You drive my people all upset here at what I'm doing.
You're looking at us the wrong way.
Look at me as a maverick.
Look at all of these people that voted for Hillary on the Republican side in Texas and Ohio.
Look at us as maverick conservatives.
Look at us as independent conservatives.
What happened last night was that the mavericks and independents among us voted for Hillary.
But if we lose in November, my friends, you'd be foolish to blame me.
One of these two people is going to get the nominee, a nomination.
It's going to be Hillary or Obama.
One of them is, if we lose in November, who's going to be held responsible?
Who can you thank?
Well, who's on our back?
You can thank the Republican nominee himself.
If if our nominee cannot beat Hillary Clinton, he was never going to beat Obama.
And if he goes up against Obama and loses, then that's our nominee's doing.
I didn't choose the Republican nominee.
All I'm doing is helping to prolong the bloodletting in the Democrat Party, which can only help our nominee any way you look at it.
And the process of what's happening here, these phony journalists and anchors are exposing themselves.
See, they're upset with me because I helped Hillary.
They're upset with me because I have more influence than they do.
They're upset with me, bottom line, because they've spent months protecting Barack Obama and promoting Obama.
They want him to be president.
It is patently obvious, is it not?
I mean, Saturday Night Live parodied the softball press coverage, and by the way, don't discount the effect that that's had this past week on the election results last night.
I mean, once Saturday night, NBC, Saturday, one they made fun of their own network.
They made mints meat of both NBC and PMS NBC, the softball coverage of Obama.
You know what that did?
That made the drive-by's get a little tougher on Obama last week.
How malleable are the drive-by media when being parodied on Saturday Night Live can make them buck up, make them shape up, make them start acting like journalists for a change.
They had chosen sides.
Do you think all these drive-by's would be upset if I had been encouraging people to cross over and vote Obama?
It'd be just the I would be praised as a maverick.
As an independent.
And even though they might have thought I was trying to corrupt their process, and they might have said so, they would have secretly been happy that I had done it.
They can't fool me with what their ultimate aim area is.
But folks, you have to realize here, this is we you'll you who listen to this program on a daily basis and have been for the almost 20 years that we've been here, you know full well the degree of corruption of our culture and society liberalism has wrought.
I've probably left out a lot of things.
Courts, constitution, education system, military, war on terror, war in Iraq.
And they dare accuse us of mischief and immorality.
By having Republicans cross over, we're just we're just a bunch of mavericks and independence.
Ladies and gentlemen, by the way, do not the Democrats say that every vote should count?
Democracy is sacred.
Well, one of the options in those states, Ohio and Texas, is to permit to allow people to cross over.
And if they choose for what a reason to do so, perfectly fine, no one should question why.
Voters are exercising their sacred Democrat prerogative, which includes propping up a candidate on the opposing ticket for any reason, including that he or she might be easier to beat, or the lesser of two evils president.
To say the Democrats don't do this is absurd.
In deciding whether to prop up Hillary or Obama, you have to consider two things.
One, who's easier to beat, two, who would be the worst president.
Because we have to allow the possibility a Democrat candidate can win.
On both counts, probably prop up Hillary.
She'd probably be easier to beat.
Well, I know she'd be easier to beat because half the country already hates her.
I mean, this is the objective of political campaigns is to drive up the negatives about your opponent.
Hers are already there at 49%.
Obama's aren't.
And it's going to be a long haul to get him up to 49% negatives.
But if anybody can do it, it's Hillary.
Don't you understand?
Don't you understand that at the end of the day, all of this is about us winning?
As I said from the very beginning, this is about us winning.
Gotta take a brief time out.
We'll do that.
We'll come back and continue your phone calls and more sound bites from the drive-by media after this.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We go back to the phones to Washington, D.C., Hi, Marty.
Glad you called, sir.
Yeah, Rush, uh look, I love you, but I'm I'm really upset with what you've done here.
I mean, you have considerable power, and I'm just afraid you've wielded it in the wrong manner, and our republic may suffer here as a result.
Uh I think I think Bob Beckle expressed my feelings best last night.
Um he said, sure, she's only picked up twenty delegates, but she's now basically guaranteed uh a spot on the ticket in some kind of capacity, top or bottom.
And and having them both on the ticket makes it tougher to win than if it was only one.
Well, I disagree with that, but I think it makes it even easier.
But I don't th I don't think that here we are, we're just barely in the uh early days of March.
I don't think anything's guaranteed.
I don't it's uh you can't say that this guarantees that she will be on the ticket, top or bottom.
I is I mean the the you know, all these all these wise men and these philosopher kings start making these uh com the only thing that we can say for certain, Marty, is that the results yesterday guarantee this thing's gonna go on through at least Puerto Rico, which is June 7th, and it's gonna come down to superdelegates and maybe they decide to read do Florida and uh and and go to the uh go to the convention.
I also understand that there's uh a possibility it could come out of this really unified and so forth.
Uh but you know what what what happened yesterday in Ohio and Texas.
Uh the net result was not that great a difference had Obama won.
And in fact, I just got late breaking numbers out of Texas and I had caucuses in Texas after the primary.
And get this, according to Fox News, uh the numbers out of Texas caucuses last night uh require an asterisk on Hillary's Tuesday night victory speech showing gains made by Obama in the delegate grab race had all but numerically canceled out her big win in Ohio.
So he won the caucuses, she won the primary, but uh whatever her delegate gain was in Ohio has been wiped out by his winning the caucuses in Texas, so there's no change here.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
And and and I just think that had you not intervened, and there's no doubt in my mind that you're the result of her winning Texas.
I mean, I think she would have won Ohio anyway.
And and I I agree, you know, four months ago I thought the same thing you thought.
Let's let's make them spend both of them spend all their money, wipe them out, and I hope that that ends up being the case.
But I think if we had scored a knockout punch with her, uh, you know, i i I think that would have been better off.
If they're if they're together, you know, as a result, uh you've got considerable power, but uh I don't know.
Well, here's my thinking on this, and you're free to disagree, but I'll repeat this again.
Uh would what let me ask you a question.
Do you would you agree with me in my assessment that the Republican Party is reluctant to the point of not gonna do it to be critical of Barack Obama?
Oh, unquestionably.
Right.
You hit the nail on the head.
Would you agree that the Clintons or the Clintons?
Yeah.
Do you agree that the Clintons that Mrs. Clinton wants this like none of us can imagine wanting anything?
Oh, I I would love to see her go for the jugular rush.
Don't misunderstand me, and vice versa with him.
But the problem is I think it's now in a situation they're both gonna have to say, look, this is this is a bloodlet, and we're gonna Have to unite.
They may start kissing and making up at this point.
I may be wrong.
Uh that would the only way that would happen is if Mrs. Clinton concludes that there is a way she can maneuver this to put herself on the top of the ticket.
And the only way that she can maneuver she can't do that with delegates right now.
So the only way that uh that that she can do this is to is to come up with some dirt on this guy that she can take to him and say, look, you want this out?
This Resco trial starting this week is gonna have some details that Barack doesn't want out there.
His his his clean and pure is, you know, paradise image is gonna suffer this week with some things uh that are gonna come out about people he's been doing business with and Yeah, but Rush, you know what that what's going on right now.
I mean, or not now, it's gonna happen shortly.
She she's gonna have that her operatives are gonna have that conversation with him.
Say, do you want Resco out?
He's gonna say, Look, I don't want Resco out, but you know darn well what I can come back with.
That's all the more reason I think that's let's let's strip all this away.
Let's let's let's let's get down to the nub of this.
Because look at I'm I'm I'm very much concerned that people are not uh understanding my take on this and my uh objective, and also I'm not comfortable with the fact that some people think I'm goofing this up and making myself.
I think it's just the opposite.
But let me let's just cut to the nub of it.
Um you don't think that they can be beaten as a team.
I think it's gonna be tougher.
Why?
Don't you?
I mean, doesn't this come down to who our nominee is?
Well, look, that that's water under the we're screwed because we got uh the worst possible nominee.
I mean, it it's we're in a position now where we've got to have so.
Would you do you believe me when I tell you that my objective here is our side winning and beating the biggest thing?
Of course.
Okay, you just think I might be making a mistake in my judgment.
Yeah, just a tactical error here.
Tactical error.
Oh strategic, yeah, not tactical.
Um but but I don't think it's an error.
I I um I hope you're right.
It's all it's it's all rooted in the fact that uh we're not gonna play hardball.
They are.
And if we're not gonna play hardball and they are, then we gotta let them play hardball against each other for a while.
Uh so that there are some some uh people that have some serious questions.
But I actually think, and I don't ask me to explain why.
But if they're both on the ticket, um I think it's actually an easier victory.
I I I just I just do.
I think I think Obama would be the tougher of the two to beat if he alone were on the ticket with his own choice of VP.
If Hillary were on the ticket, that's the easier of the two to beat.
If they're on the ticket together, if and and she's on top, easier than if Obama's on top, but it's it's not by any means undoable.
But it still boils down to the fact that people are blaming me here when you admit that we don't have the best nominee we could probably have.
And it's gonna i i if it's it's look at I'm not running for president and I'm not out there getting votes.
I'm not asking people to vote for me.
And so if if how I don't know how it can be said I'm gonna lose the election.
I just do not know how that can be said.
Because I'm not gonna be urging people to vote for either one of these two Democrats.
Plain and simple.
And I've made that clear as well.
Marty, thanks for the call.
Jeff in Cincinnati, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Rush.
Yeah.
I need I need to mark this day on my calendar.
What an honor it is to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
Well, it's uh March the fifth, two thousand eight.
Duly noted.
Hey, I was just calling to say that the irony of this is delicious.
We are finally uh like you were talking to the last caller, we're finally starting to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Um it's been a source of frustration for me that we sit back and we keep taking these pokes in the ribs and kicks in the teeth from them and their tactics.
Well, it's not even that.
We've been asking for kicks in the teeth.
We've been asking for Democrats to join us, and we've been thinking that's what makes us good.
Look at the Democrats want to vote for our guy.
Look, the independents want to vote for our guy.
Wow, that's really cool.
So we turn it around and we go vote for their people.
That's corruption.
It's ungentlemanly.
Uh you're exactly right.
They have been doing what they can to subvert our nomination process in each well, 2000, 2004, and now in 2008.
Uh and it's uh it's a little tit for tat.
So, you know, they did they did bring this on themselves.
You know, one of the things that mild mannered people don't understand is that the aggressor sets the rules in any conflict.
And it's plain as day, folks.
We are not the aggressors here.
And back we are.
Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from a god.
I think some of the people who are emailing me, some of the people who are calling me, want to believe that if Senator McCain loses in November, that's gonna be somebody's fault other than his.
All I've tried to do here, folks...
Uh is make it less likely that Obama and Hillary will join forces because the bloodletting will continue.
But if they do join up, they would have anyway.
But I know if if if the bloodletting gets serious and if the acrimony increases and so forth.
Especially if Hillary demands to be on top of this Tucson.
Now, let me I want to I'm gonna give you a little story.
You probably have heard about this, but I want to ask you what you think of this.
By the way, uh our last caller said that uh Hillary was going to uh win Ohio anyway, regardless of the crossovers there, right?
Uh Obama was closing uh in Ohio before the Limbaugh campaign began there.
Uh it was within the margin of error, I believe.
So the uh the EIB election desk, after careful review, is indeed giving me credit for both Ohio and Texas victories.
Uh, this notion that I had no role in Ohio, that's just unacceptable here.
We've done a careful review of the pre-election polling, the exit poll data and so forth, and clearly we were a factor.
But uh McCain had a town hall meeting.
Well, where was this?
I guess this is in Texas, isn't Houston.
And uh a questioner at the town hall meeting, took the microphone to level an insult at Mrs. Clinton.
Referring to the introduction of McCain's wife, Cindy, a man in Houston said, unlike other candidates in the race, if Cindy answers the phone at three in the morning, she won't be wondering where her husband is.
So there was raucous laughter.
The crowd loved it.
Gales of laughter.
There was applause, there were lots of smiles, including one from Cindy McCain.
Senator McCain, however, according to the Politico.com, was forced to dissociate himself from the comments.
While acknowledging that the line was meant in humor, McCain said Americans want us to have a respectful campaign.
Uh and uh he honors and respects both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, which also got applause, but not nearly so much as the original line.
So uh Senator McCain chastises yet another voter, supporter, uh dissociates himself from another supporter uh at one of his town hall meetings.
So I just so I'm just just I'm just I was just not even gonna comment on it myself.
I'm gonna comment on it myself and just throw it out there, let you people ponder it amongst yourselves, see what you uh what you think.
Back to the audio sound bites.
Last night on DNC TV's decision 08.
Political analyst Nora O'Donnell reported this about the exit poll data.
There are some Republicans who are choosing to vote in the Democratic primary.
First, let's look at the party identification mix in Ohio.
Look at the Republican crossovers down here.
That's really interesting.
Ten percent this year.
That's five times as many in the last election.
Also in Texas, there is again that bigger Republican crossover in this primary than in the last election.
Remember, Rush Limbaugh has called for Republicans to cross over and vote for Clinton, essentially to bloody up Obama.
Those were the words he used.
So he may have planted that idea in a sense, quote unquote, giving permission to Republicans To cross party lines.
But that is a significant number that has decided to vote today.
But CNN had a little bit different take uh on their election center last night.
Solid at O'Brien and their political analyst Bill Schneider had this exchange about the effect in Texas.
Rush Limbaugh, who was urging Republicans in Texas who can vote in the Democratic primary to go out and vote for Hillary Clinton.
So we wanted to see if that maybe was having some kind of effect on this race.
What did you find?
Not much.
Only 9% of the Texas Democratic primary voters were self-described Republicans, and they voted for Barack Obama, 53.
46% almost have voted for Hillary Clinton, so maybe that was some influence from Mr. Limbaugh.
But not much.
So PMSNBC and CNN disagree with their numbers.
Then on PBS last night, the news hour with Jim Lara.
Amy Walter of a Hotline took a neutral position.
She's not sure about the limbaugh.
Russia Limbaugh got into it saying, hey, go out there and vote for Hillary Clinton Republican so we can keep the Democrats fighting and keep this going on for some time.
So we don't know.
So much of that early voting when we've seen those numbers are coming from Republican counties turning out and picking up Democratic ballots.
Hmm.
Sounds like the conclusion here is rather unmistakable.
Uh moving on now to Chris Matthews, election 08, PMS NBC.
Here is an uh apoplectic uh Chris Matthews describing to a T why we needed Hillary to win in this primary to continue.
You have to wonder if you uh are a Democrat watching tonight and you want to win the general election.
If any of this tonight is good news.
Is it useful for the party to face seven weeks in Pennsylvania?
Six media markets, thirty million dollars spent in both directions, blasting each other out of the saddle, in a state you absolutely positively have to carry.
It's not good news to spend seven weeks in Pennsylvania blasting each other if you're Democrats.
This country's in a rut on the war in Iraq, impending wars elsewhere in the Middle East, the economy, everything.
We're in a rut.
We can't fix anything, whether it's Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, we can't fix our health care system.
Nothing's done since 65.
We did a civil rights bill.
People want something done.
Will that something get done if we have an election at Bogsdan in Pennsylvania with seven weeks of Democrats killing each other?
Aside from the gibberish about nothing getting done in this country, does that not make my point?
Of what we are trying to accomplish here.
This is the last thing the Democrats wanted to see.
And they're gonna have to see it.
And it's not just Pennsylvania.
Forget Pennsylvania, forget April 22nd.
You are talking June the seventh.
Puerto Rico and beyond.
Now this business about nothing having gotten done since the Civil Rights Act.
Uh here's the problem.
Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, health care system, all those things got done, and they are a disaster.
And who got them done?
Who is preventing their reform?
Who's preventing these programs from being reformed?
The very people Matthews is concerned about being bogged down in a campaign for six weeks, going into Pennsylvania.
That's what this stuff is all about.
These things are going to break the bank.
And there are ways to fix them.
He left out the public school system and a number of other things which have gone wrong.
CNN's election center, Carl Bernstein said this about Hillary Clinton going negative.
Her only shot is to go so negative on Obama that something sticks and makes these superdelegates say we don't want them.
And as one Clinton strategist said to me today, we gotta mess him up.
By rest of my case, Carl Bernstein, Woodward and Bernstein fame, talking to a Clinton strategist, we got to mess him up.
Exactly right.
Because our side's not going to.
They got to do it.
And, of course, they're the only ones that can do it.
Folks, you don't realize.
I don't have the guts to say it.
You don't realize what a brilliant thing this has been.
The strategic.
Of course, it's been recent.
What do you mean it's been respectful as hell?
Yes, Mr. Snertley.
Of course it's been respectful.
What do you mean?
Has it been respectful?
It's a good thing it's not Monday.
Because if I'd have had this much laughter on Monday, I'd have been in coughing spasms, I'd be in a hospital.
Pete in Woodbridge, Virginia.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Oh, just fine, Russ.
How are you doing?
Thank you, sir.
There's at least eight or nine different reasons for voting for Hillary.
And you've enumerated some of them in the last uh c almost two hours.
First of all, fear is Hillary's most effective message against Obama.
And that's also McCain's message.
So as long as she's running her 3 A.M. ad, she's helping to make McCain's point about the importance of experience and national security.
And that's right.
This is actually a great ad for McCain.
Oh, absolutely.
In addition, the the Democrats should be thanking you.
Uh this brought this screening process really uh uh helps them to to ensure that they aren't r gonna have a uh a Gary Hart or a Michael DeCracas uh running against McCain in the fall.
And uh and it all and if as far as uh on our supp side, it it extends the time as you said earlier uh for Hillary to to get the press to scrutinize him.
Well, not only that, but you know there's another thing that that uh this that's possible.
I don't know.
I don't know how likely it is.
But Senator McCain, here's I heard Carl Rove last night.
Carl Rove was doing uh analysis on Fox, and he had a he had a he had a good point.
He said, Well, one of the problems with prolonging the Democrat battle is that it's gonna be on page one, and McCain will now move to page two, page three, page four.
Actually, McCain's gonna move to section B, page one.
He's got some he's he's gotta raise some money.
He's got some he's got some uh uh fundraising challenges ahead of him.
But it it it's also gonna give McCain a chance to uh continue.
He can he can start campaigning now.
He can start traveling all over the country and making speeches and establish who he's gonna be and how he's gonna be it.
Uh what he's gonna do, and so while these guys are tearing themselves up.
There's an opportunity here for McCain uh to solidify who he is while these guys are still in their knockdown drag out.
And it is and is an opportunity, and it's a way also for him to uh uh keep himself a little bit more front and center uh in the media rather than in Section B, because it's compared to what's going to be going on the Democrat side, uh there's there's not a whole lot that uh is gonna be happening with McCain.
I mean, I just I didn't get a chance to listen to this because it was on while the program was on, but the president, you know, publicly professionally officially endorsed McCain today.
They had lunch uh in the Oval Office or somewhere in there, and then they came at a little joint press conference in the Rose Garden.
Now it looked to me, and I could be dead wrong about this because I haven't I didn't have a chance to watch it or listen to it, but it looked to me like most of the questions were asked of the president.
Mr. President, you're gonna campaign for Senator McCain.
I'm gonna do whatever I can.
If he wants me to campaign against him, if it'll help him win, that's what I'm gonna do.
Uh the all of these well, where are you gonna campaign for where you're not gonna campaign for him?
And McCain was standing there, you know, asking the reporters next question, and the questions always went to uh to President Bush.
President Bush can help him with fundraising, and I'm sure that was on the table today when they uh had their luncheon.
Uh but this is this is uh an opportunity here for McCain to actually solidify who he is, because he's not gonna have to run any contests against Huckabee anymore.
And he's not gonna have to go out and get votes and get delegates in any of these remaining states.
Uh and then on the other side of this, everybody's talking about the momentum that Hillary has.
The momentum to where?
I mean, you've got Wyoming, they got the Wyoming caucus this uh this Saturday.
I think the the Obama expects to lose that.
You got Mississippi next Tuesday.
Obama's probably gonna win that going away.
But yeah, Hillary may have some momentum up to where the next big states, not for six weeks.
And whatever momentum she has is not gonna sustain her uh that long.
So you're gonna have uh she's gonna try to keep the momentum momentum alive by doing exactly what Carl Bernstein said, and that is they gotta mess Obama up.
That's Carl Bernstein's word.
My word, they gotta bloody him up politically, of course.
Don't leave out that for You know, I need to I need to I need to get hold of uh white comedian, noted white comedian Paul Shanklin.
It's time for another parody tune, Ebony and Ivory.
Obama and Hillary singing to each other about the upcoming...
*laughter*
All right.
Do you want to hear the babes on the view discuss this?
Do you want to hear what they have to say?
I um, you know, I uh women and the I I I I literally marvel.
I I I really do at the obtuseness.
Uh the dim-wittedness.
Uh the no there there ism of some of these women.
Here do we have here?
We got Elizabeth Hasselbeck, we got Joy Behar, we got Whoopi Goldberg and Sherry Shepherd are discussing Hillary's chances in the primary voting uh that day.
This is this is yesterday.
This is Tuesday morning.
Uh and uh Hasselbeck says, uh look on a political strategic level.
Uh I say stick it in because I think she'd be easier to beat when McCain goes against her.
That's what Rush Limbaugh is saying.
Is that why he's encouraging people to vote for her?
Because he's saying that uh voting for Hillary uh will unsettle the Democratic Party, and that can only help Republicans.
Yeah, he said he said, I want Hillary to stay in this.
This is too good a soap opera.
Clinton is more willing than the Republican National Convention and John McCain's campaign to criticize Barack Obama.
We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically.
I don't agree with him, just so you know.
Like I'm not having them on I don't totally trust anything Limbaugh says because I worked with him, right?
Did you?
Yes, I know him.
And uh after uh when I was at the radio station with him, Clinton won.
And he was so happy because he could now be funnier on his radio show.
It has nothing to do with real patriotism or whatever he's talking about.
It's about his show.
So he feels as though he'd have more ammo and more fun with Hillary.
That's all he cares about.
know, Joy Behar saw me every day, and folks, I don't know about you, we were miserable.
I can't I don't want to go through that again.
I don't want to go through I do not want to live through the misery.
I mean, to say that we wanted Clinton to win because it was more fun that I was happy when Clinton won.
And then this poor old Elizabeth Hasselbeck is the conservative on this program and is going out of her.
I did it just it's just it's pathetic.
This this program has the potential to be doing more damage to women than Oprah's doing.
Good Lord, it's just insulting.
I mean there are there have to be executives at ABC that understand the literal ignorance that's being broadcast on their network signals each and every day.
I guess they know their audience.
Here is Senator McCain.
Let's go to Subite 17.
Senator McCain last night in Dallas, a portion listen to this, snurdly.
Listen to this, all of you, a portion of Senator McCain's victory speech.
I want to thank all of you here, all the Republicans, independents, and independent thinking Democrats.
In all parts of the country who supported our campaign for the nomination and have brought us across the finish line first.
An accomplishment that once seemed to more than a few doubters unlikely.
All right.
So apparently McCain can thank the Democrats for making him the Republican nominee, can thank Independence for making him the Republican nominee, and yet they say we I am subverting democracy by suggesting that our side vote for Mrs. Clinton in Texas and Ohio.
McCain is praised because he's a maverick.
He attracts Democrats and independents.
See, is it two ways?
I should have played this soundbite earlier on in the program to put all this in perspective.
Back in a second.
Hillary Clinton Monday night in San Antonio, Texas, finally responded to me in my question of whether we want to watch a woman age, you know, daily in the Oval Office.
He said, Granted, I'm a little older, but I have earned every wrinkle on my face.
She did.
I'll get the soundbite.
I'll play it before we come back.
One hour left to go, folks.
