	Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
	Oh, this is getting great.
	Chaos.
	More and more chaos.
	Passport gate, ladies and gentlemen.
	Obama in a tizzy because his passport file was investigated by contract workers at the State Department.
	Now, Mrs. Clinton says, well, the State Department's saying that her passport records, Hillary's passport records, were also uh violated, shall we say in the year 2007?
	A drive-by's love this takes all the attention away from Obama blowing the race speech earlier this week and the stupid comments he made last night on Philadelphia Radio.
	It's Friday, folks.
	Let's go.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
	Yahoo!
	Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
	Open line Friday.
	We have finally arrived to the exciting day of the week.
	One of the most.
	As you know, Monday through Thursday, this program is about what I care about and what I'm interested in.
	But since I am a benevolent dictator on Friday when we go to the phones, the program is yours.
	You can speak about whichever, whatever.
	You know, whine, moan, complain, ask questions.
	Very few limits.
	On Friday, telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
	The drive-by is fascinated with possible criminal charges in Ohio with the uh related to Operation Rescue.
	They're still investigating whether or not Republican voters lied about their pledge to become Democrats when they went in there and voted in the uh in the Ohio primary.
	Uh Hugh Hewitt, uh renowned uh member of the Reagan administration, his own has his own blog and talk show uh in the afternoons from California is from Cleveland, and said that uh if I get indicted in this, if I get charged along with any voters, are he gonna defend me?
	Uh he will be happy to defend me.
	He says, especially since I'm a Steelers fan, I'm gonna need somebody in my camp in Ohio that has Cleveland Brown season tickets, which he does.
	So I appreciate that support from uh Hugh Hewitt as well, ladies and gentlemen, as uh, you know, if if any of you people in Ohio end up getting charged, and I frankly can't see it, fear not, worry not.
	Operation chaos will commence a massive legal defense fund.
	Uh and will join.
	Just this is just too much.
	Look at this.
	We hear about what?
	High gasoline prices.
	We hear about high food prices, high tuition, high mortgage foreclosures, and then there's this for the Los Angeles Times.
	Presidential candidates pull in 790 million dollars.
	Obama has a lead in fundraising among both parties, reporting 192.7 million dollars total, also rans are busy paying money back.
	There's a story out that Obama spent a million and a half bucks a day since February, including the uh uh the uh Super Tuesday, February 5th primaries.
	Now, how can this be?
	With all these economic woes, why are all these people giving money to politicians?
	Just an interesting little question.
	Um about Obama on the radio in Philadelphia.
	We have the audio sound but listen to this.
	Obama threw his grandmother under the bus at the speech on Tuesday.
	Then yesterday, he put the bus in reverse and ran over her.
	The point I was making was not that my grandmother uh harbors uh any racial animosity.
	She doesn't.
	But she is a uh typical white person who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that that don't go away, and that sometimes uh come out in in the wrong way.
	Typical white person?
	What does this reveal finally about Obama?
	He is not transcendent on race.
	Obama is telling us he is a black American first and an American second, typical white his grandmother who raised him is a typical white woman, and that these kinds of uh uh inordinate fears are bred.
	Uh I have a question.
	I wonder how white college students at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill are feeling these days.
	I wonder if they are nervous walking down the street and they see a couple of black boys dressed in baggy clothes with their hats on backwards swaggering toward them.
	I wonder how they feel.
	I wonder if it makes them fear that they're gonna be shot in the face for their uh for their uh ATM cards and their pin numbers.
	Uh Obama, do you think there might be reasons here rather than this being inbred?
	Typical white woman Obama has exposed him, and that's why, ladies and gentlemen, Passport Gate is such a welcome arrival for both Obama and the drive-by media.
	Michael, what is if you say this about his grandmother, he says this about his grandmother and he excuses that loco weed pastor.
	And by the way, everybody's asking, where is Reverend Wright?
	Well, Reverend Wright's out there on a cruise.
	We don't know where, but he's on a cruise.
	Reverend Wright, we're told, needed to take a vacation.
	Somebody at Reverend Wright's church sent a photo of Reverend Wright talking with President Clinton in the White House on September 11th, 1998.
	There was a prayer breakfast.
	This was Clinton had a bunch of clergy in there to finally fess up to the Lewinsky stuff because the Star Report was coming out.
	This picture's in the New York Times today, complete with a thank you note that Clinton sent to Jeremiah Wright in October after the uh September 11th date.
	And this is the meeting where Clinton said, I have sinned before you.
	I have never been at a lower point, and I'm so happy you've come here.
	I want to d you know, the dog and pony show.
	And uh and Reverend repair the breach.
	And then there was uh a whole bunch of people there.
	Reverend Wright was one.
	They've got this picture.
	This isn't the same thing.
	The Obama camp release this.
	This isn't the same thing.
	They in order for this to have any impact at all, uh, they're gonna somebody's gonna have to place Clinton in Reverend Wright's church.
	Which, I mean, if this church is that big and Clinton ran for office in 92 and in 96, somebody might come up with a picture of Clinton of that church.
	You never know.
	I guarantee you somebody's looking for it.
	You know, you're running for the uh Democrat Party uh well, when you're running for president Democrat, you gotta go to Chicago, and you have this a huge church, 4,500 people, but so far this little picture in the New York Times, I mean the Obama camp doing everything they can to sweep this off the front page and change the uh subject, which they've done now with uh with passport getting.
	I'm thinking of telling the State Department to release my passport friends.
	There's nothing in them.
	They're nothing in them.
	Your social security number, you know, identifying data.
	Uh, but I have life lock, so if if somebody's gonna get my social security number, they're not gonna be able to use it for anything.
	Uh so this this is much ado about nothing.
	They had a big investigation out of this uh of Bill Clinton back in 1992 because people were trying to find out, and the rumor then was that uh Clinton was thinking of uh denouncing or renouncing his citizenship uh during the uh Vietnam War era, and they wanted there were rumors that he'd been traveling the Soviet Union and participating in protests there, and people wanted to see if he had been.
	Uh I don't know that these particular records that were looked at today by these contract employees will tell you that.
	Uh Obama, the reason people are interested in he chairs a subcommittee on foreign affairs in Europe, and he's never had a meeting.
	He's never chaired the meeting, never chaired the committee, never called the committee to order.
	He says he's traveled all over Europe, got extensive experience, but he's never said where.
	So it looks like it's got the Clinton fingerprints all over it until the Clintons, hey, by the way, our passport was looked into too.
	Uh McCain's everybody.
	Exactly right.
	So um, ah, gosh, folks, even though it's open line Friday, this stuff just keeps pouring out.
	We get to come to the rescue each and every day here.
	I, of course, now, as uh dubbed yesterday by Ariana Huffington, a uh uh toxic what?
	Did she toxic um curiosity, right?
	A toxic curiosity that can't be stopped.
	McCain can be, as he has demonstrated.
	Uh we'll have more.
	I'm sure you've heard about other two things involving McCain today.
	Uh he has picked a huge, huge, not an independent Republican, not a moderate Republican.
	He has picked a liberal Republican to run the Republican National Convention, a woman.
	Uh uh, she was uh she was involved in the George H. W. Bush administration uh with uh some some kind of outreach.
	That's the stack here somewhere.
	So um uh I mean that's that's just I mean that's a slap in the face.
	This is from Robert Novak, by the way.
	So there's that to talk about uh more Operation Rescue, Bill Richardson endorsing Obama today.
	You know what's interesting.
	I have observed, ladies and gentlemen, for countless years here at the Limbaugh Institute, that there aren't ever any tell all books about the Clinton administration.
	I mean, every president has all kinds of people dumping on him with tell all books, uh leaks.
	It never happened in the Clinton administration.
	Nobody wrote a tell-all book, but look at how many former Clinton Eastas abandon them when they get the chance and are endorsing Obama.
	Also, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you on the Ditto Cam, you can see this.
	It is a perfectly folded American flag.
	Uh this came FedEx today to me.
	This flag flew for a couple of hours over Camp Delta, Club Gitmo, on my birthday this year.
	I have the certificate right here from which I will read, and I have the letter from the uh from the guy down at Camp Gitmo who sent me this.
	His name is William W-I-E-S-E.
	He lives in College Station, Texas, but he's still down at uh at Club Gitmo.
	Uh it's Weiss or Whis.
	Uh, and he's the one who arranged for this.
	He's a 24-7 subscriber.
	He listens to the first hour of the program on Armed Forces Radio, and then the uh other two hours at the end of his day on the website.
	He served under President Reagan, was with the 82nd Airborne Division during Operation Urgent Fury, which was Grenada.
	So I want to read the proclamation to you.
	We know we have a three, and and he's he's he has sent his picture to our website wearing his Club Gitmo t-shirt.
	Uh so I will read the proclamation, the certificate, rather, that that confirms this and some of the other details.
	And again, here's the flag.
	Uh we'll get pictures of Brian, we're gonna get pictures of all this stuff and send them up to Coco at the website so they can be posted.
	Quick timeout here, folks, back with much more.
	All the details of the things we have discussed to the present, uh, and there's much more.
	Oh, by the way, Arlan Specter uh has a new book out about his um dealing with cancer uh while continuing to serve in the Senate.
	Uh and uh he he asked to come on, and I think it it's it's a uh it's gonna be interesting to talk to.
	I saw him a little bit on Fox this morning.
	Uh and his purpose here is to try to help others who are diagnosed.
	He had lymph cancer.
	Uh, he's trying to diagnose others or help others who are diagnosed to keep going and to keep fighting and uh and that the mental attitude is uh is is what's crucial here uh to surviving this uh kind of a disease and beating it.
	And I'll he I'm gonna ask him about the status of uh uh judicial nominations and confirmations uh in the final term of the Bush administration, and I want to ask him a little bit about Spygate, the New England Patriots National Football League, because they haven't heard anything about this uh in uh in two or three weeks.
	So he'll be up in the opening segment of the next hour.
	We'll be right back and continue after this.
	Welcome back.
	Rush Limbaugh, commanding officer of Operation Chaos, coming to you from the headquarters of Operation Chaos, the EIB Southern Command.
	Here is the letter I received with this flag that uh that flew over Camp Delta at Club Gitmo.
	Dear Rush, I was sitting at my desk in our windowless building a couple hundred yards from the sparkling ocean overlooking the eastern end of the Cayman Trench.
	I was thinking how nice it was that your staff got you a birthday cake and presented it on air.
	I started to wonder what one might get someone who pretty much has everything he wants or can afford if he so chooses.
	And I did find the one thing that you cannot buy.
	I enjoy immensely your radio program.
	I can only hear the first hour live on Armed Forces Radio.
	I have to stream the other two hours later in the evening via computer with my 24-7 membership.
	It's one of the best investments I've ever made, by the way.
	I served under President Ronald Reagan, was with the 82nd Airborne Division during Operation Urgent Fury, Grenada.
	Thank you for your support of the United States military over all these years.
	Please accept this flag flown over Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a token of my respect.
	Those are my initials along the margin to verify that it was flown, as the certificate states.
	Happy birthday and God bless William Weiss, College Station, Texas, P.S. You can find my picture uploaded to your website.
	I'm the guy standing in front of the welcome aboard sign in my Club Gitmo shirt.
	Perhaps you can fly the flag over your Southern Command compound and post a picture of it.
	If you decide that you ever want to visit the island, let me know and I will sponsor you.
	Wow, a potential trip to Club Gitmo.
	Cuba cigars.
	Here's the certificate.
	It's it's it's wrapped up like a scroll.
	I'll just I'll unfurl it here for those of you watching on the Ditto Cam, you're not going to be able to read it, I think, uh, because I'm not going to zoom in.
	I don't have a hand in which to zoom in.
	But let me read this.
	Joint Task Force, Guantanamo Cuba, Joint Detention Group, Operation Enduring Freedom, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Certi Certificate of Authenticity presented to Mr. Rush H. Limbaugh.
	Let it be known that the flag accompanying this certificate was flown proudly over Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, January 12th, my birthday, 2008, at 0156 hours, for nine minutes and eleven seconds.
	Nine minutes and eleven seconds.
	So this was about two o'clock in the morning.
	For nine minutes and eleven seconds.
	This flag is presented to you in the spirit of patriotism and as a tribute to those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks on the United States of America and to those who continue to fight in the global war on terror.
	Department of Defense medal or symbol...
	Up in the upper left-hand corner, and of the uh Club Gitmo.
	Uh Delta, Camp Delta icon logo in the upper right hand corner, and it is signed by Theodore Trahan, the commanding sergeant major of U.S. Army at the uh the joint depension joint detention group at Club Gitmo and Bruce Vargo, Colonel U.S. Army Commander JDG.
	So we'll get pictures of this.
	Uh once again, here is the here is the flag.
	You know, this is this is this this has happened before, and I had no idea.
	It was it when these Mark Hassara and his buddies uh Taz, Joe Katezinski, uh five or six aircraft, uh, all flow a flag, uh turning out to be in my honor and the original invasion bombing runs during the Iraq invasion in 2003, and they sent me the certificates of all the airplanes that the flag flew on, and the uh a letter that Hassara wrote by hand on a on a piece of yellow legal paper explaining what had happened and why they did it.
	The flag arrived in a ziploc bag perfectly folded.
	Uh that's now at home in my library and it's framed.
	The flag is unfurled, uh, as are all the certificates.
	And as will this be.
	Uh this is just I I get I don't know.
	I'm as you know, folks, I am I'm trying to learn how to receive uh without feeling embarrassed as time, but this this is just touching.
	This is uh this is a this is a genuine honor that that somebody sitting at a club gitmo listening to the first hour on Armed Forces Radio would see you guys in there, give me a cake, and think, what can what can I get rush?
	And he secured a flag that flew for nine minutes, eleven seconds.
	Over Club Gitmo.
	Where, of course, we here at the EIB network have a thriving uh merchandise business.
	Well, we don't have a thriving merchandise business at Club.
	Well, it depends on Club Gitmo being open.
	So uh Thank you so much, um, Mr. Weiss, who again is from uh College Station, Texas.
	I shall uh treasure this and honor it and protect it for as uh well for the rest of my life.
	We got to take a brief time out here.
	We'll come back and get started with your phone calls, some of the audio sound bites to illustrate the ongoing Operation Chaos.
	It just keeps getting better.
	Back after this.
	As it does a man, a living legend, a way of life, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, a prophet, a national treasure, and the commanding officer of Operation Chaos here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
	Hey, folks, yesterday we got a phone call from somebody in Florida who said, Where can I get an Operation Chaos T-shirt?
	And I had mentioned yesterday that I had just authorized and approved designs.
	And I said we're not going to do this until I can be assured by the manufacturer and the fulfillment company that from the day we take orders, within 10 to 14 days, they're going to start being fulfilled.
	Because the last time we tried to do a coffee mug, it took 30 days and it was just defeated a whole purpose, and it was it was an absolute mess.
	I have been assured by all involved, and as such, we just today, just now, actually in the first half hour of the program, added to the EIB store at Rush Limbaugh.com the following items.
	An Operation Chaos T-shirt, all sizes now at the same price, 1995.
	An Operation Chaos Cap, 1995, and a two-pack bumper sticker, six ninety-five.
	Uh and there's a special chaos combo offer.
	You can order the hat and a t-shirt together, and we're going to send along one bumper sticker free.com.
	Now I have a commitment here from our supplier.
	All orders that we receive by the end of the show next Wednesday will go out in the first shipment on Friday, April 4th.
	So if you want to be among the very first members of the Operations Chaos Street team, get your order in by Wednesday at 3 p.m.
	Eastern.
	And if you do, all orders received by Wednesday at 3 p.m. will go out in the first shipment on Friday, April the 4th.
	Now, uh this also happened with the Club Gitmo stuff.
	Uh it's inevitable that uh the initial demand here is gonna swamp our fulfillment company servers.
	And if you log into Rush Limbaugh.com and then click, you go to the EIB store, then you click on the Operation Chaos merchandise.
	Some of you are going to get failure messages.
	Sorry, can't find a page, page not found, server error, what have you.
	Uh it just you just have to try again.
	Just wait and try again for the uh initial burst to subside.
	Doesn't mean anything wrong with your computer, it doesn't mean anything wrong with a link.
	It just means if it happened with Club Gitmo, it's probably gonna happen here with Operation Chaos.
	A lot of things, uh a lot of initial orders will tie up the servers.
	So there it is.
	You asked for it.
	You have it.
	Last night, Fox News Channel's election headquarters co-host, Megan Kelly, talking with Mark Halperin at Time Magazine.
	She says, This all stemmed from a Rush Limbaugh initiative where he pushed people to go and register as Democrats, because you can do that in Ohio, and vote Hillary Clinton to keep her in the race so the conservatives or Republicans could run against her.
	Once again, the drive-by's misunderstand the full thrust of Operation Chaos, but I've explained it enough.
	If they can't get it by now, it's it's it's not worth continuing to try.
	Megan Kelly asks Mark Halpert of Time, uh, are people in Ohio, the elections people really gonna go through with this, perhaps charging Republicans who crossed over to vote Democrat with crimes.
	Well, they're still investigating this mischief voting.
	Who knows how much of it was based on Rush and how much of it was people maybe wanting to vote in this primary because they liked one of the candidates.
	But you know, there are a lot of things in America that illegal.
	The notion they go into you could go to jail for switching parties and voting that require the ability to look into the conscience of individual voters.
	It's nuts.
	And you would think they have something better to do.
	Look, Florida was a laughing stock in 2000.
	Ohio's had more problems since then.
	My secret theory is this is Ohio election officials attempting to take away the mantle from Florida.
	Laughing stock of the nation when it comes to elections.
	This is crazy.
	Mark Halpern actually says that Ohio is jealous of Florida for being a laughing stock, and they want to become the laughing stock.
	Meghan Kelly, what is this a political stunt?
	I think the Democrats are annoyed that people would come into their primary, they think illegitimately and mess things up and vote, do that mischief voting.
	If the rules allow you to switch parties, you cannot look into the soul of people who do it and say these people are robots programmed by Rush Limbaugh.
	They just got to let him do it.
	Now, there are a few cases anecdotally where people seem to fess up.
	One person scribbled on a ballot that they were doing it just for the day.
	And I think there's probably some of that, but less than I think these people suspect.
	And clearly not enough to criminalize party registration.
	That just seems silly.
	Hey, these are Democrats, Mark.
	These are Democrats, and they're fit to be tied.
	Look, they're they feel free to cross over all the time and and uh and you know have fun with our nomination process, as in Senator McCain in Iowa, New Hampshire, and uh and so forth and other states.
	Uh they they just don't like the same game being played uh by by us.
	Finally, Meghan Kelly and Mark Halpern have this exchange.
	One has to think that Rush Limbaugh will celebrate this as another extreme move.
	He will start a legal defense fund for anyone, I think, who's indicted.
	And look, there's a long way to go.
	The election board is split.
	The county prosecutor who would be the first person to look at this has said he probably doesn't see a problem.
	The attorney general, I don't think will see a problem.
	So I don't think this will happen.
	Extreme move, Megan.
	One has to think that Rush Limbaugh will celebrate this as another extreme move.
	Oh, well, moving on.
	You've heard about this.
	I'm sure an aide to Senator McCain was suspended from the campaign yesterday for blasting out an inflammatory video that raises questions about Barack Obama's patriotism.
	What what was what was inflammatory about it?
	Did you see this video that was put on YouTube?
	It just had Obama statements and Reverend Wright statements.
	That's all it had on it.
	Guy's name is Soren Dayton, works in McCain's political department, sent out the YouTube link of Is Obama Right, W-R-I-G-H-T at 1231 with the tag Good Video on Obama and Wright.
	It's been taken down.
	Uh McCain and his campaign have repeatedly said they would stay away from personal attacks at Obama, but the temptation has increased as Wright's words have dominated the race in uh in recent days.
	So let's go back to the audio sound bites.
	This is CNN yesterday, Don Lemon, the host, interviewing Joe Klein of Time Magazine, says it's a suspension.
	McCain's campaign suspended this guy.
	I just want to make it clear it's a suspension.
	We've had a history of campaign workers over the years distributing uh video tapes and getting canned for it.
	This is uh pretty much campaign business as usual.
	It's really stupid because as long as Rush Limbaugh lives and breathes on this planet, the McCain doesn't have to do any dirty work.
	People like Limbaugh will do it for him.
	And the campaign may be counting on that.
	Uh but still it gives it it.
	That's the point.
	What is dirty about telling the truth?
	What's dirty about putting it out?
	Nothing's dirty, but nothing was inflammatory.
	It's just that McCain doesn't want it out there under his name.
	You know, McCain's McCain's he he's he's traveling around the world, he's doing a bunch of things.
	He's trying to brand himself right now as strong on national defense, strong on national security, while the Democrats are duking it out here in Operation Chaos, and he doesn't want to get involved in this.
	This is it's the old you know, it's it's it's the uh uh the old rule.
	If you're if you're if your your enemy is uh destroying themselves, just get out of the way, let it happen.
	Uh if if you know you never get into an argument with a fool because people will not be able to tell the difference.
	Uh if your enemy is eating himself alive, pass assault and leave.
	You know, McCain is is simply trying to stay out of this.
	But he's also trying to establish this notion is going to run an honorable campaign.
	On the on the uh contrary, the Obama campaign can leak they can they can put out the the Clinton picture with uh with Reverend Wright, Senator the New York Times.
	How smart is it?
	Why, that's brilliant.
	Look at the Obama campaign.
	Why they're not taking this sitting down, okay, we love the Obama campaign, go the drive-by's.
	And of course, I can defend Reverend Wright from now until the Reverend gets off his cruise.
	Uh and uh but but you know, McCain's thrown his people overboard.
	He's fi how many people's he fired or suspended here just in the last in the last month.
	Robert Novak today.
	John McCain's team that is taking over the Republican Party has decided on Bobby Green, this female Bobby Green Kilberg, liberal Republican from Virginia, long detested by conservatives to run the party's national convention in St. Paul in August.
	Kilberg is an aide to President George H.W. Bush in 1990, promoted White House overtures to gay activists.
	She won an internal power struggle over gay politics with fellow Bush assistant R. Douglas Weed, who was fired as White House liaison to religious conservatives when uh when Bonnie Bobby Green Kilberg appeared on television by McCain's side on the night of uh February twelfth after he won the Virginia primary.
	Her presence was resented by conservatives as a sign of contempt for them.
	Well what else are conservatives supposed to think?
	This is McCain's screw you guys.
	I mean, I'm I know who my base is, I know where I want my support to come from, and I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna get it, and I'm gonna let this babe run my convention.
	By the way, Mr. Snerdley confirmed this to me.
	Who was the first distinguished American to propose Bobby Gindle, the governor of Louisiana, as a potential McCain V. It was me.
	Thank you.
	Correct.
	It was I, L. Rushbow, who did that.
	I've seen two or three other people mention this now, and people, wow, what a shocking move that would be.
	Novak says, don't laugh.
	Uh not Novak, but Novak also floats Bobby Gindle as a possible VP for Senator McCain.
	I don't know if Novak's idea or if he's hearing that the name of Bobby Gendal is being suggested by those close to McCain.
	Quick timeout.
	We'll grab some phone calls when we come back after this.
	We have to do one more thing on the website at Rush Limbo.com and the EIB store.
	The uh the t-shirt, the uh Operation Cass t-shirt is two-sided.
	Uh the front side has uh a ballot box with the EIB logo on it and uh rush the vote being stuffed into the box.
	And on the back are the Operation Chaos mission objectives.
	Uh and we're supposed there's supposed to be a text accompaniment to say what the is on the back of the shirt, because even the enlarged photo doesn't say let me read it to you.
	Here's a show you people in Diddle Cam.
	Operation Chaos mission objectives cross over to vote in Democrat primaries, prolong the Democrat uncivil war, allow the Clintons to bloody up Obama politically, since our side won't do it.
	How prescient was that.
	Enjoy liberals tearing each other apart, drain a DNC of campaign money, annoy the drive-by media, and win in November.
	The objectives of Operation Chaos, that will be on the back, and all the t-shirts are 1995, and they're all this whatever size you ordered is the same price.
	Here is uh Paris in uh in Irvine, California.
	All right.
	Hi, Paris, how are you?
	I'm good.
	Um, thank you for taking my call.
	I wanted to talk to you about this Obama character.
	Yeah.
	Which um I am a typical white person, and I question his patriotism.
	I question that he's been defending this Reverend Wright and has yet never shown any kind of passion for this land for this country as a whole, and as as the this nation as a whole.
	My second issue with Obama is the fact that he's he's keep correcting Senator McCain, but if we all remember, this guy doesn't even know he's recent history.
	All of some of the head of Al-Qaeda and Taliban ran to Iran and they were being harbored by that government.
	That government has been doing that for many years.
	Where is he Coming from saying that Iran has never supported Al Qaeda.
	Why doesn't he sit and listen to our generals?
	Wait a minute.
	I lost you during here because you're talking.
	Are you talking about McCain at the end of that, or are you talking about Obama?
	Obama.
	And I'm saying, why is he thinking that Obama was I mean, and McCain was wrong?
	McCain was not wrong.
	Iran has done it.
	No, no, okay.
	Okay.
	That doesn't matter, Paris.
	It doesn't matter whether McCain's right or wrong.
	This is what the Democrats do.
	They're going to try to attack.
	And Obama's desperately trying to change the subject, and he's trying to make it look like he's already won the nomination.
	So he's focusing on McCain, who is the resumptive Republican nominee.
	It's uh and he knows the drive-by's are going to carry his water.
	He knows the drive-by's will then go to McCain and play this this little uh this gaff up and so forth.
	Um this is who the Democrats are, and this is you know McCain's not gonna play this game.
	I you know what the other thing I wanted to tend mention to you is CNN being so biased and Anderson Kupes program.
	I used to be a fan.
	I stopped watching the program because it makes me sick to see that a reputable news agency can be so biased.
	It's just for that.
	I just I'm sick of it.
	I started three websites I wanted to tell you about.
	Shame on drivebymedia.com, shame on CNN.com, and shame on New York Times.com.
	I'm launching these uh three websites, and I'm just gonna go and try to protect the biased media.
	I I love your passion, uh Paris, but uh a question.
	When when when did you just discover that uh CNN is not a reputable news agent?
	Because that's been the case for about twenty years.
	Well, to be very honest with you, I've always given them the benefit of the doubt.
	Why?
	Why why'd you give them the benefit?
	Because you wanted to be nice.
	I want it to be nice, and I and I decided that I cannot close my eyes to this no longer.
	And uh I I've just decided they're not my news agency no longer.
	Good.
	Who is your news agency?
	Well, I I you're right.
	Are you you passed you passed the test?
	No, I watch Fox News too.
	Uh well, naturally.
	Naturally.
	Oh, Paris, thanks for the call.
	Uh, you uh Thank you, Russ.
	You bet.
	Have a have a have a nice weekend.
	Kevin, in uh in Wyoming, you're next on the EIB network and open line Friday.
	Hello.
	Angry White Air Force Ditto.
	God bless you, Rush Remba.
	You know, I can't tell you how many emails I've gotten from women today, subscribers.
	I am a typical American with typical white woman.
	People are livid about this because this finally I've I've been reading all these stories.
	Why, you know, white people just finally found out what blacks really think of them with the Jeremiah Wright stuff.
	Then they're shocked and they're surprised.
	Well, the uh people are just now finding out what Obama thinks of them, too.
	And you call and you say you're an angry white guy.
	Yes, I am.
	Okay, why?
	Uh well, first I just have to say you have no idea how much you've improved my life and developed my philosophy.
	You're my hero and a big hello to my family.
	What I'm angry about is McCain, Rush.
	I just don't think I can vote for him.
	Um he's just along the road to the same place the Democrats are taking us.
	And I have to look my kids in the eyes at the end of the day, and I just don't know how I'd live with myself after voting for such a liberal Republican.
	What do you think the similarities between the Democrats and uh Senator McCain are?
	By the way, you said you're in the Air Force?
	Yes, I am.
	You're active Air Force.
	Yes, sir.
	Twelve years.
	So what are the similarities between uh McCain and the Democrats, do you think?
	Well, the immigration and then just all the things you constantly cover on your program.
	I don't want to rehash all of the similarities, but we we are stuck with him now that he's the nominee, and I just I don't want the pre you know Republican Party to be redefined.
	Well, amen, bro.
	That's the thing about this that uh that concerns me if Senator McCain is gonna try to grow the party with liberals and Democrats coming over as liberals and Democrats.
	And by the way, you know, mentioned this poll yesterday, and it's still early.
	Well, there's Richardson endorsing Obama.
	Richardson hadn't shaved in a couple weeks.
	That's a new look.
	At any rate, this poll is a twenty percent of Obama voters are gonna vote for McCain if Obama loses a nomination, nineteen percent of Hillary's voters are gonna vote for McCain if Hillary loses.
	Uh that's I don't know if that's gonna hold up, but it's gonna some of it's gonna be true.
	Some some percentage will.
	Anyway, uh Kevin, thanks so much for the phone call.
	I appreciate it.
	A brief timeout coming up and a reminder.
	We're talking with uh Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter uh at the beginning of the next hour about his new book on fighting and surviving cancer.
	Be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Bill Richards is on fire out there endorsing Obama.
	We may be looking at that Democrat ticket here.
	You know, because Obama's gonna need something like Richardson to get Hispanic, uh Hispanic votes.
