Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying for a simple reason.
The views expressed by the host on this program are documented to be almost always right.
98.8% of the time.
I am Rush Limboy, your highly trained broadcast specialist meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
We're doing open line Friday on Wednesday today.
Take a couple of vacation days tomorrow and Friday.
Jason Lewis from Minnesota will be here on both days.
So when we go to the phones, you don't have to stick to what I'm talking about, and we're not going to screen calls based only on what I'm interested in.
You can what are you what are you smiling about?
Well, you what have you learned in there that I don't know yet?
What are you smiling at, snurdly?
He just he's just loving that first hour.
He just thought this first hour was uh was smoking and uh and it was.
I want to go back, in fact, to something in the phone number 80082882.
I want to go back to something in the first hour.
We had the story uh at a Michelle Obama event in Pennsylvania.
There weren't enough white people sitting in the audience behind her in camera view, and so the organizers are putting out a call for more we need more white people.
And they were moving people of color to get them out of there and replacing them with more white people.
Now, most people have a knee-jerk reaction to that, laugh about it and so forth and so on, but if you you need to stop and think of something.
Why?
Why do they need more white people?
Hmm.
Why why should that matter?
We're all colorblind here.
I mean, Obama's a great unifier.
Obama's gonna bring people together.
Uh why?
Why do you need more white people?
Hmm?
Well, I'm just asking.
I mean, I'm sure somebody's got the answer.
Why do they need more white people?
And did they and did they did they did they clear this with Reverend Wright?
Uh I know they've been running answer Republicans all over the place.
What do they tell?
You know, here you've got the first black candidate for president, probably the the likely nominee.
And black people came out or excited as hell to show up at these Obama rallies, and here comes some organized.
Okay, pal, back to the back of the bus for you.
What do you mean?
We need more white people where you're sitting.
What?
You telling me I got here first and you're gonna move me?
That's right, we're gonna move you out of camera view so that you can't even be seen.
We need white people where you are.
Now, what what do these enthusiastic, invigorated, all hyped up black people Obama supporters think when Michelle's organizers show up and say, back to the end of the line for you?
Or, you know, you can't sit here at our lunch counter.
You gotta you gotta find your own.
We need white people here.
Why?
Why?
Well, he may be getting white people, but they're not ending up in the camera shot, so nobody knows they're white people there.
They they need more white people.
I mean, I got a place if they need more white people, just ask Reverend Wright to go through his new neighborhood in Chicago at Tinley Park and say, hey, I got a bus coming through here, gonna take you to an Obama rally.
Uh just get on the bus and we stop at your house.
Really?
Why?
Why do you need more white people?
I mean, there is an answer to this.
Jay Rockefeller, chairman of the uh the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has once again done everybody a favor, opening his mouth and revealing for one and all exactly who and what liberal Democrats are.
Thank you, Operation Chaos.
The Charleston Gazette.
That's in West Virginia, reports this.
Rockefeller believes McCain has become insensitive to many human issues.
McCain was a fighter pilot.
He dropped laser guided missiles from 35,000 feet.
He was long gone when they hit.
What happened When those missiles get to the ground, he doesn't know.
You have to care about the lives of people.
McCain never gets into those issues.
Uh this, my friends, is striking.
In the first place is factually wrong.
Uh I think what what a what did McCain fly an F-4 Skyhawk or some such thing?
There were no laser guided missiles.
They didn't hit, I think, from 1968 or 69.
There were no laser guided missiles, and McCain was shot down at 4500 feet or 5400 feet.
He wasn't flying at 35,000 feet.
He was shot down at around 5,000 feet.
Laser guided bombs were not used in Vietnam.
Missiles and bombs laser guided, minimized civilian uh casualties.
Actually, they were they they were used in Vietnam, but they didn't they they weren't used at the time McCain was uh was flying his mission.
Now, after this, after this insult, Rockefeller went out and personally apologized to McCain on the Senate floor for suggesting uh that McCain doesn't care about the lives of McCain was defending the United States of America for crying out loud.
Yes, Mr. Sturdley, question from a program observer.
Yes, yes.
Not only that, hey, uh Snurdly's question is how is what Rockefeller said any different than what Reverend Wright said about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and all these other places.
There isn't any difference.
What's what's the difference between Rockefeller, what he said about McCain and what Democrats have been saying about the troops in Iraq?
About the people at Camp Gitmo, about the people at Abu Ghrab.
This is what I mean.
Operation Chaos of bringing these people out of the wood where they're cockroaches have come out from underneath the cabinet of the sink, folks, and they're flying around and they're attacking each other now.
They're showing us exactly who they are.
Do you realize what's happening in the Obama camp among Obama voters?
You ought to talk to some and just bring up the name Clinton.
And you you you will be amazed at the reaction that you get.
And I don't care if they're black supporters, white supporters, illegal immigrant supporters, whoever they are.
You bring up Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton to an Obama voter, and you're gonna They are liars.
I hate them.
They are liars.
That was perfectly fine when the Clintons were lying about us.
But now that the Clintons are lying about Obama, why everybody sees them for who they are.
And the Democrats are running around trying to say, well, you know, this is not going to have any impact on the general.
I mean, we'll put this all back together and don't be so sure because the way this is going to end up, one of these two camps is going to be fit to be tied.
The Hillary camp, the women are going to be mad.
And if she succeeds, and by the way, I'm upping.
I'm upping my projection that yesterday I said I think Hillary got a 20% chance of winning a nomination.
I'm putting it up to 24.
24, I've recalculated this.
As uh as as uh as uh Sink Usock, commander-in-chief, U.S. Operation Chaos.
There's now a 24%, not not quite uh one in four, but a 24% chance she could get the nomination because you're not gonna go anywhere.
If that happens, these Obama people are already mad as hell.
And if that happens, I mean this for all this talk about Republicans and having nowhere to go and uh blowing their opportunity, the Democrat Party could be in the process of destroying itself here, as it is currently constituted, which the Republicans have already done.
Uh Republicans have already cemented that they're destroying themselves or reconstituting themselves.
Uh but the Democrats could be doing the same thing.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Anyway, so so Rockefeller went to the Senate floor to apologize personally for suggesting that McCain doesn't care about the lives of people uh caught in the wars that he champions dating back to his Navy service days of Vietnam.
Uh this is, let's see, Fox News Channel's Carl Cameron interviewed McCain after the Petraeus hearings, and he asked him, what is your response to Jay Rockefeller's comment?
I would call upon Senator Obama to repudiate uh Senator Rockefeller's remarks if he's surrounded by people like that, then I think he should have a direct repudiation.
I frankly am unfamiliar with that kind of uh rhetoric from a member of the United States Senate.
Come on, Senator.
Come on.
You're unfamiliar with it.
Have you paid any attention to what they've said about our judicial nominees?
You're unfamiliar.
Yes, that's right, Limbaugh.
But they've never said this about me.
And that's what makes me mad.
I don't care about anybody else that they might criticize.
Because it's not about them.
It's about me, Limboy.
And you know it.
I know it.
Hemp never heard this kind of rhetoric from a Democrat in the Senate.
He does have a point, though.
Obama never does do it.
This is apologizing.
His surrogates go out there and make these comments.
And then they apologize by repeat the comments in the process of making the apology.
Hang on, folks, it's organizing.
So I got show prep still rolling in as the program actually unfolds before your very eyes and ears.
It was rather obvious uh yesterday, uh ladies and gentlemen at the uh uh the Patreus hearings that the uh well it was it was it was like a mature adult tr uh being bullied by a bunch of zit faced, self-absorbed yapping teenagers in a sandbox, and of course, Petraeus is just so far above that.
Remember, it was just seven months ago in September that the uh the Democrats were literally foaming at the mouth.
They ran the uh General Betraeus ad in the New York Times uh as they frantically searched to find anything, anything at all that would prove to the world, especially our enemies that the United States, the United States military, the surge in General Betrayus were horrible, stupid failures.
But for the treasonous code pink, the moveon.org Democrats, General Petraeus, proved to be intellectually assured, honest, factual, powerful, and calm, authoritative, lyrical, in fact, in his presentation.
And here's, you know, the best part is that by by training and temperament, he's incapable of being aggravated by a bunch of little ankle biter chihuahuas called U.S. senators.
You just you know, you just have to know for the last month, the last month the staffs of these idiot senators were having a contest to see who could come up with the one zinger question that would embarrass Petraeus and force him to reveal the truth that he's all lies, that Bush is all lies.
The rock is an ultimate dismal failure.
You just know the Senate staff, they're having a contest.
Who could come up with the one question?
But the free commercials that these senators got yesterday only prove to the world that they are ill-prepared, self-promoting gum flappers.
They make people's hair hurt.
I mean the contrast was that striking.
And here, listen to David Rodham Gergen, who was on Anderson Cooper 360 last night on CNN.
And he said this about the Senate Armed Services hearing in Iraq.
Number five, we're staying in order here.
So it's like five follows four.
What I found really interesting, though, on the Democratic side, there's no push for timetables in this hearing.
And indeed, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were talking about Brock saying a measured withdrawal.
Hillary Clinton was saying an orderly withdrawal.
Both, I think, are now setting themselves up to be the president, a commander in chief who would push to get us out.
Not to be irresponsible.
Clearly the Democrats want to push, push, push to get out, but they're no longer saying we've got to do it in six months.
We've got to don't have to do it like that.
I think I think they're being More sensible in that sense, and I think voters will find that more appealing.
Whoa!
Be still my beating heart.
Voters will find it more sense.
Does this mean that every sentiment that these Democrats have expressed for the last four years out now?
Get out now.
Bring them home.
All of these rank ads, all of these rank websites, all of the waving the white flag of surrender by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
Does David Rodham Gurgen mean to tell us that that was unreasonable?
Damn straight he does.
The only thing is, why didn't he say it while they were doing it?
Of course, David Rodham Gergen uh only wants to focus on their positives.
What I found really interesting on the Democrat side, there's no push for timetables this hearing.
No push to get us out now.
Right?
I'm told you I was I I want you to remember I was the first in your life to articulate to you that no matter what happens in Iraq, if the Democrats are elected president, they aren't pulling out.
They are not going to saddle themselves with the collar of defeat.
They're not going to do it.
So he has a little pan here.
He says, Well, clearly the Democrats want to push push-push to get out, but they're not saying we have to do it in six months.
Uh we don't have to do it like that.
I I think they're they're being more sensible in that sense.
I think voters will find that more appealing.
Wait a minute, David.
I thought the polls all showed get us out.
I thought the polls all showed the American people were fed up with 4,000 soldier deaths.
I thought the American people wanted us home, wanted They never have.
The polls have never said it.
Shaping up exactly as I told you it would.
It's not even a number one campaign issue, and the Democrats didn't want to make it a campaign issue yesterday.
They had a chance to bring it back front and center as a campaign issue, and they didn't.
That was on one of the most boring hearings, other than j listening to General Petraeus and and uh Ambassador Crocker, and they could have taken care of business there in one-tenth the time that they took.
All right, people have been waiting patiently, and I want to go back to the phones before the uh phone grows to the ear.
You need a plastic surgeon to separate them.
Jeff in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Thank you, Rush.
How are you doing?
Fine, sir, very much.
Thank you.
I'm probably one of the fifty remaining Republicans in Reading, Pennsylvania.
And uh my wife and I have actually both switched our registration to Democrat, but here's the here's the twist to it.
Um a lot of your criticism was to blame.
We're actually doing it to vote for Obama.
Um, you've gone out of your way to attack Robert Wright, who granted he he has a very fire brand style, but uh you know, he's been preaching for 40 years, and the most anybody could find was was three soundbikes that some people consider offensive and biblical, he's head on.
Yeah, you are you you you I've been doing what I've been doing for twenty years.
I know, and I've been listening to you probably for that long.
You you really want me to believe that I made you mad enough with this or the criticism of Obama, that is a Republican, you changed your party registration from Republican to Democrat to vote for Obama because of me.
That's correct.
Well, now if if you if you loved Obama so much, why did you have to wait for me to get involved here before you switched your party registration?
Well, I I also think he's more beatable than Hillary, and uh um Yeah, out of out of the two evils, you know, if if one of those should win, I definitely don't want Hillary.
Wait a second.
You just I'm I'm confused, Jeff.
You you you you said you like Obama, you like Jeremiah Wright, you're being criticized a bit too much.
No, I didn't say I like him.
I said you're you're going out of your way to attack him, and and it uh it almost seems, and I can't stand it, but it almost seems like Joy Behart's statement about you know you supported Hillary, so you're guaranteed four more years of ammo for your show.
It actually is credibility.
You're giving yourself away here.
None of this, none of you're a smarter guy than this.
None of this makes any sense.
Jeff, I have to tell you, I think you're a seminar caller.
Uh, because the the whole point of your you're your point of your call is to blame me for rotten things haven't blame me for what you're doing.
I haven't been any harder on Jeremiah Wright than a lot of people have.
Uh But this is I this this is this is funny to say, yeah, Rush, I'm registering.
I'm changing from Republican to Democrat, but that's to vote for Obama because of your criticism of Obama.
And Joy Behar's right.
You just you just want somebody in the White House to give you f.
If you've listened to this program for 20 years, Jeff, you know that that's not why this program takes place.
This program does not did we don't care who wins elections.
And this program doesn't depend on it.
My success doesn't depend on who wins elections.
I'm not trying to engineer any victory here for any reason other than the future of the country.
By the way, we've finished some research here.
A lot of you might be fearful in Pennsylvania can't go back and re-register Republican before the general.
You can.
Stand by.
I'm getting emails from hey Rush, when's the next when's an extra night tankless water heater commercial coming out?
We have one coming up in the next hour.
For those of you that uh that want to know.
All right, continuing here with the phones uh in Crockett, Texas.
This is Garrett.
Thank you for calling, sir.
Appreciate it.
How are you doing, Russ?
Good.
It's just an honor to speak with you.
Thank you very much.
Um you're right.
My point before I do.
I hope my accent doesn't further the liberal liberal stereotype that all conservatives are rednecks.
Hope that doesn't happen.
Um quick comments about um what Rockefeller said, you know, my myself included, my great grand great uncle uh invaded the Omaha Beach, uh, three purple hearts.
My grandfather fought in Vietnam.
When you fight in a conflict and you see stuff like that happen, you get a greater understanding and respect for humanity.
Um that's what happens.
And it's just if the liberals have been going on and on and bashing the military for so long, it makes us sick.
I mean, we're fighting mad down here in Texas.
And uh you know what you need to understand down there, Garrett?
What's that?
It's it's not so much what Rockefeller said, because frankly, I mean, as a conservative, are you surprised that liberal would think that way?
No, no, I'm not surprised.
Right.
So what's what's interesting is is to for me anyway, I love motivation.
I I love to find what people's motivations are because uh in in in explaining to people the motivation of others, you have a chance, a better chance to be persuasive that uh these people are to be suspected.
Uh and in a Rockefeller's case, when he runs out and says what he said about McCain, he's firing bombs, get all factually wrong, but basically killing people on the ground, he doesn't care about that, he's insensitive, has no idea.
At the root of this is a belief that the United States and the United States military is the focus of evil in the modern world.
In the liberal mind, everybody in the world is innocent.
They are only evil, mean, rotten, because we exist the way we exist.
We exist as capitalists, and as capitalists, we are the wealthiest nation on earth, and we have the wealthiest population.
We have the brightest future.
And this just isn't right.
This isn't fair.
It's not fair that so many people should be left out.
Why are we stealing all that this is a guy, by the way, you might understand it a little bit.
He's from the Rockefeller oil fortune.
He might have a little guilt because he had to do nothing but get born and grow up.
We call it the lucky sperm club.
And a lot of people in a lucky sperm club end up having real guilt problems because they haven't done diddly squat to earn what they have.
But even beyond that, he is a liberal Democrat, Rockefeller is, and I don't care which liberal democrat you cite, they look at war as something never justified, that only the United States starts, and that our way of practicing that war is inhumane and it's unconscionable.
And so therefore it's easy to conclude that McCain, flying over Vietnam, dropping bombs and so forth, doesn't care about the innocent civilians.
Because to see, the if uh as far as liberals are concerned, U.S. military doesn't care who it kills.
Oh, we will kill innocent children.
We will terrorize mothers, as John Kerry said.
And you've got John Kerry talking about the U.S. military in Vietnam acting as gingis con.
I mean, this is who they are.
So at some point, it serves no purpose to get mad when you hear these people say these things because they shouldn't surprise you.
I mean, you get upset about it, but I but this is who they are.
It's time to learn this is who they are.
This is one of the great many ancillary benefits of operation chaos, by the way, is what it is exposing, and these people are doing this themselves in their own words and with their own actions.
It is not us.
The good guys telling you what they're saying.
They're actually saying it themselves.
Ryan in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Thanks a lot, Rush.
Thanks for having me on.
I'm late for my next class, so I'm gonna make this quick.
Uh I'm a twenty two year old college student majoring in criminal justice, and uh I apologize for getting off topic, but I wanted to tell you that I'm really sick and depressed about the liberal ideology pumped into classmates, my classmates constantly on a daily basis.
Rush, these professors are teaching one side and they're building an army of left wingers and feminists.
I mean, it's really ridiculous, man.
They are not teaching they are not teaching, they're indoctrinating.
They are.
They are indoctrinating.
And you know, you know what they call me in my sociology two oh five class?
They call me the island boy because I'm isolated with my conservative values and beliefs.
You know, they should call me Leonidas.
I feel like I'm battling twenty thousand Persians on a daily basis or something, you know.
All right, let me ask you a serious question.
Aside from depressing you, uh what other effect on you does this have?
Well I mean, and let me make it specific.
Does it make you want to just throw in a chips out of hell with it?
It's not worth this, or does it steal your resolve even more?
You know, to be honest, Rush, uh this semester seems like it's been the worst, and for the first couple months I was frickin' I was fighting strong, but you know, now I you know, it's hard.
You've got a classroom full of liberals that just can't they all hop on the bandwagon.
It's like they're mindless and the professors up there to think.
They are mindless.
They're not thinking they're not thinking at all.
They are the true mind numb robots sponging up orders and their indoctrination, and they're and they're they're just using they're using their feelings.
I I'm you this is this is a lament that uh you know by no means are you the first student to encounter this.
Real quick before I go, I want to say uh one of the things that they teach, which really, you know, makes me sick.
They say liberalism, this professor that I have, sociology two oh five, liberalism is linked to education.
So basically she's saying that if you're educated, you're probably gonna be liberal.
And then she goes on to say the conservatism is lacked to a le is linked to a lack of education and simply uh like sticking to the teachings of the Bible.
That's how the conservatives think.
It's you know, it's stuff like this.
And then you go to science class and you gotta teaching about global warming.
I I feel like I'm gonna vomit, you know.
Uh yeah, I'm fifty-seven.
I felt like that way a lot.
Now I did not f I went to one year of college.
Um but I d and I left not for reasons that you have mentioned, but I just wanted to pursue my career.
Well, I would urge you to hang in there and uh uh this is only gonna make you stronger.
And parents need to know.
Really now, Ryan, it's important that you stay there if even if it stay in school, stay and and and and uh you know, continue to expose yourself to this stuff because in the in the process of exposing yourself to it, you're going to learn how to refute it and how to deal with these people if you want to, and how to argue with them and have fun in the process rather than get mad about when I listen to you to help me with that, Rush.
Well, I'm not talking about your professors.
You know, they're the authority figure in there, and you've got to, you know, when you're in that position, the authority rules.
Uh but with these idiots that are in your class, I mean, you can end up having a little fun with this.
Uh and you, you know, are you the only conservative in these classes?
You know, if I'm not, the others are just laying low, you know, because they don't want to be isolated.
Yeah, see, that's what's sad.
Uh you need to find out and get these other people uh, you know, confident as uh as you are.
But the main thing here is is you know, you you uh you you need to look I I know it's it's it's serious stuff what you're seeing in there, and it's frustrating and you I feel like it's a problem for our future.
I really do.
Well, you know, uh I I guarantee you it's been this way in uh in the college classroom for fifty years, even longer.
And yet we have survived it.
And some of these kids, when they get older, are gonna wise up as you already have.
Uh and they're gonna start thinking on their own.
They're just if they're highly impressionable right now, and the liberal liberal professor is an authority figure, is uh is making them feel good about themselves, uh for what they think and what they feel without challenging them intellectually.
But uh the the point is this this can all be overcome, and it has been constantly, but it's a battle that has cycles to it, and we that's why we constantly need people to realize it's an ongoing, never ending battle.
You're gonna have kids of your own someday, and they're gonna face the same thing you faced, and you're gonna need to give them the same foundation your parents or whoever has given you.
That's right.
In the meantime, learn to have fun with this.
When you step back, if you if you can separate yourself for a moment from the dire consequences of these little nerds ever coming to power anywhere, you can separate yourself from that, laugh at the absolute shallowness and at the lack of curiosity, and they're Stepford people.
It's so true.
Just laugh, and in fact, you know, don't do it in class.
When you have conversations with them, just and they start talking, just shake your head and laugh and chuckle.
And it'll rather than getting into and what are you laughing about?
I just I don't believe what I'm hearing.
Have you ever thought about anything?
What do you mean?
I think oh no, you don't.
She asked me that the other day.
She said, Ryan, is it jumping out at you?
Are you are you getting it?
And I looked at her and I shook my head and I said, It's really not.
It's really not.
And she was just like, you know.
She was just what's gonna happen.
His was you are the teacher's Bill Clinton.
Well, and because what they say about Bill Clinton is if he's in a room of a hundred people, he will find the one or two that hate him and focus on them and do anything he can to make them love him.
And he'll take for granted all the people that like him.
So you stand out like a sore thumb in this classroom, and these teachers are gonna focus on you.
You are going to become a project.
They they're gonna start doing everything they can to get into your head.
And you know what?
I got news for you.
It affects your grades too.
Because when I write conservative answers for the short answer responses, you know, they team they tend to take more points off.
But if I sit there and I go left or liberal, it's like I always get a big thing.
What is this universe?
You're in Myrtle Beach.
What is this university you're going to?
Well, I'm currently vis I'm visiting student at uh Coastal Carolina University.
And I'm also going to uh Oi Georgetown Technical College for electives there also.
But um That's because I'm in my last year now, and I just need electives to get my uh bachelor's degree.
You're a senior southern.
You're a C you're a senior?
Yeah, I am a senior.
Oh, Ryan.
Zip the lip.
You know, you've you you're over 90% of this.
Get out of there.
You have put I didn't, I thought you were a freshman.
No, I was trying to guide you through four more years of sheer terror.
No, I'm you have navigated this minefield.
You're about to get out of there.
Yeah, you know, this is But I'm nervous.
As I'm getting ready to leave, I'm nervous, you know, because I see what's going on in these schools, and it's everywhere in the country.
We got people working on it.
You you'll read find out David Horowitz.
David Horowitz is uh doing great work, front page mag.com's his website.
He's doing great work publicly chronicling the stuff that's happening to you in the classroom at major universities all over the country.
A lot of other people are focusing on this, and there are numerous uh uh not a lot of them, but Hillsdale College is a great one.
A number of uh liberal arts universities springing up here with uh with a don't have this kind of liberal identity to them.
But look, you you're on the cusp here, getting out of this prison, and you have survived it and you have triumphed over it.
Uh you know, this is not the place for your battles now.
This place is almost in your rear view mirror.
Your focus is to get it fully in the rear view, get out of there, and you're gonna find a different world outside the classroom.
Yeah, I hope so.
You will trust trust me on this, especially when you'll be able to list this program every day.
It'll change your mind.
And if you turn off the television three or four days a week, that'll help too.
Yeah.
All right, well, thanks for having me on, Rush.
I really appreciate it.
All right, right.
Hang in there.
We need people like you.
You are you are uh part of the uh uh uh we all the proverbial future generations.
Uh this stuff gets passed down from generation to generation, and you're gonna be more important in all this than you can even imagine now.
You have survived the attempt of the propagandists to turn your skull full of mush into a little Trotskyite.
Uh Everybody in this audience is proud as they can be of you.
You keep it up.
Don't do not change a thing.
Just get out of there.
And the real life will begin soon.
Back in a second.
Waiting for somebody on the other side of the glass to point at me and tell me it's time to go.
Still no thank you.
Quentin in Zimmerman, Minnesota.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Rush, it's such an honor to speak to you, sir.
And I wanted to say it's I'm so proud to be an American to live in the best country in the world.
My question for you is I don't understand the audacity that Hillary Clinton has and the uh liberal Democrats to want Bush to uh protest uh China through the Olympic Games, but at the same time, uh they wanting to allow Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe where I was born.
I was born in Rhodesia, uh, and be silent on that.
And what I want to say with that, Rush is when Rhodesia copied the United States, even with our unilateral declaration of independence from England, we copied the United States.
And when we copied the United States, we were the most prosperous country in Southern Africa.
And President Carter forced us to put uh Robert Mugabe as president as a terrorist.
I remember.
And why is it Rush that they are silent on it?
He's taken the country that was the best country in Southern Africa to a country that's got over a hundred thousand percent inflation rate with an eighty percent unemployment, and is speeding the election a third time.
We have been following the events in Zimbabwe for quite a while on this program, years, in fact.
Before I get to that and answer your question, you should know that Jimmy Carter has come out and said we need to start talking to Hamas.
Uh the jim Jimmy, I I can't explain Jimmy Carter.
I don't know what's happened to his mind.
I I don't know if he ever had one.
Um the you know, Jimmy Carter, Jimmy not only did he give us Mugabe, he gave us the Ayatollah Homey in Iran.
But it's also the black caucus, Rush.
It's the liberals, even Clinton, because there's a picture of Clinton with Robert Mugabe smiling.
The liberal Democrats are in the same cahoots with all the Nelson Mandela, all the terrorists.
Let me give you the let me.
Let me cut to the chase, Quentin.
As to why the Democrats are going nuts about China and Tibet, it's in the news.
Because the Olympics are in China, and the Democrats can make great hay by demanding freedom for the oppressed.
Now, in the case of Robert Mugabe, here is a man who, I mean, you just you just scratched the surface.
Heroism has literally destroyed a country and has literally appropriated the property of successful white farmers, nationalized it, and now that stuff's gone belly up.
Nothing is working in Zimbabwe.
Um there are international calls for him to I mean they've had an election, but he won't release the results.
But Rush, you are so right.
This Rhodesia, an example of exactly what you've been saying, what you say regularly on the station.
If you implement liberal philosophy, it fails.
Uh Hillary Clinton wants to take the profits away from Exxon.
Robert Mugabe doesn't talk about it.
He does it.
And he forces countries there who are international companies to give half 51% to the nationals.
And you're wondering why Mugabe is not condemned, but when's the last time you heard him condemn Fidel Castro?
They don't.
Right.
Now why is that?
Do you have an answer?
I I'll give you one, but I want to know if you have an answer.
My my philosophy is this, because what you've said on your station for years and years is if you export liberal liberalism, it's the best way to get rid of all the other countries.
And that's why they want it.
They want to be silenced because that's their philosophy.
They want it throughout the world.
Exactly right.
But there's another aspect to it too.
Mugabe is black.
You're not going to have the Congressional Black Caucus criticize anybody black.
They won't even criticize Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
Hillary Clinton's not going to criticize Mugabe because he's black.
This is a presidential year.
It ain't gonna happen.
He's not the and he's not even in the news, so they're giving a uh not widely, so they're they're they they're giving cover on this.
But at the same time, uh I I don't think they look at what Mugabe has done.
The average American leftist will not look at Mugabe and find anything wrong with it.
He just hasn't succeeded yet.
He just hadn't turned it into a paradise.
But American liberals love Castro, love Chavez, love Mugabe, all these dictators they envy the power they have.
Operation Chaos uh voters, people who changed registration from the Republican Party to the Democrat Party for the Pennsylvania primary on April 22nd can indeed re-register as Republicans prior to the November election,
