Time Text
The views expressed by the host on the show.
Documented to be almost always right, 98.8% of the time, it's a thrill and a delight to be with you, ladies and gentlemen on a big day for Operation Chaos in Indiana and apparently in North Carolina.
Great to have you with us.
The phone number if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Before getting back and sharing with you some more field reports from commandos and operatives in Indiana, North Carolina, I want to expand on what was essentially was a throwaway line right before the end of the uh uh hour, uh because a lot of people are confused.
I said liberals have their principles and they stand for their principles above all else, and when they do, it is people who get hurt.
It is not people that liberals stand for.
And uh the some of the emails that I have received, rush, liberals don't have principles, and you have said, Oh, yes, they do.
Um they have guiding principles.
Doesn't mean they're right, but they have them and they stick to them.
And if somebody in their movement, you know, sort of strays like McCain strays for my, they kick them out.
They don't call them mavericks, and they don't call them, ooh, this is another way to look at this.
This is great.
Look at the diversity in our party.
That's a great illustration.
Diversity, a great principle.
What happens?
There isn't any when it comes down to actual impact on people.
They don't allow diversity in the Democrat Party.
They don't allow the diversity of speech.
They don't allow diversity of appearance, yet they stand for it.
But in standing for diversity, somebody's gonna get hurt because when they enforce their principle of diversity, somebody has to be guilty.
Somebody isn't diverse enough, some organization isn't diverse enough, so the principle of diversity, which means nothing other than the way something looks, we're all told we're not supposed to judge anybody on that basis.
The way something looks, liberals have to fix it and change it, people get hurt.
Now, all of liberalism occurs under the umbrella of we care.
And that's why it's so seductive to people, particularly ignorant people or people who want to think people care about people.
We all care about people for crying out who doesn't.
The number of people who don't care is a is a is a rank minority.
And most of them are in jail or on their way there.
We all care about people.
We're the most charitable country on the face of the earth, not only for our own people, but people around the world.
So all this comes under the umbrella of we care.
And so Republicans and conservatives, said to be harsh, can't possibly care because their principles are never examined substantively.
The liberals have a cool game going.
Let me give you an example.
Liberals have, as a principle, quality education for all, with more and more money every year.
May I ask you what is the state of our public education system?
What's the dropout rate, particularly among minorities and Hispanics?
How many people graduate not being able to read their diplomas?
Quality education for all.
But you have to stay in a failing public school system.
If you want vouchers, if you want to get your kids to private school and you can't afford it, and somebody comes along and offers you the chance.
Guess who's going to stand in your way?
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Gore can put their kids at Sidwell Friends in Washington.
You can't.
You have to keep your kids in a failing DC public school system so that the principle of quality education for everybody can be followed.
Okay, so they and they talk about their pre-quality education for everybody and every because liberals care.
Look at the status of public education.
Look at the effect on the people who are subject to this principle.
And so liberals, when confronted with this, say don't you you you can't examine our results.
You have to examine our good intentions.
We care.
We have our principles.
They also have the uh as a principle, insurance and health care for everybody.
However, do we have it?
Mandates keep some insurance carriers out of a state, because liberals Say that those companies have to cover things that you may not wish to pay for.
Lower gas prices, quality, lower gas prices.
We've got to have lower gas.
That's a principle.
Except your gas prices are going through the roof to pay more for an environmental hoax and hoax-based regulations and bankrupt alternative fuels like ethanol.
So while liberals say they are for lower gas prices, and the principle of everybody being able to afford to get to work and so forth.
What's the truth?
The truth is that those very same people have taken a hoax.
And what is this hoax involve?
This hoax involves putting everything in front of people.
Who was it that had the political slogan putting people first?
Was it Bill that's right, putting people first.
Putting people Clinton, that's right, putting people first is the last thing liberalism does.
Take a look at God's creation.
God's creation is the planet and the environment.
Liberals have deified the environment to the detriment of human beings.
They subordinate the interests of human beings intentionally.
We have to save a tree before increasing your comfort in your neighborhood.
We have to make sure that some environmental cause is preserved or animal cause is preserved even before saving your life.
Sometimes even your business, if you are a farmer or if you work on a farm, sometimes your business will be put out of business because liberals will say that whatever indigenous animals or plants thrive on your farm can't be harmed, can't be touched, can't be moved.
And so while they talk about all of their principles and the quality of life, they put everything before quality of life.
Their principles, when maintained, end up hurting people.
The big one is equality.
Liberals think that only they are for equality.
And they have come up with numerous programs to create equality, and they've come up with numerous groups to help them advance it, such as the NAGs, the Equal Rights Amendment, affirmative action, which is none of these things promote equality at all.
They promote punishment.
The liberals' attempt for equality is in it is essentially punishment.
And it's punishment of people who have had no role whatsoever in creating the harm that liberals claim needs to be fixed.
So what happens with their principle of equality?
Well, people end up being taxed from those who achieve.
They redistribute it to those who are less successful, except that the money and the prosperity they promise never get there.
here.
And those they wish to help are continually miserable.
The war on poverty, the great society, the civil rights movement.
None of these have shown any progress whatsoever despite all the money, despite all the principles.
Because when liberals hold to their principles, people get hurt.
They also say they stand for no discrimination.
Except it is liberals themselves who discriminate against anybody who says anything they don't want to hear.
And they do more than discriminate, they try to silence them.
They try to shut them up.
And they use force and they use intimidation tactics.
And these are the people who operate under the umbrella of they care.
Their principles, you know, advancing this utopian, perfect planet, end up harming the very people they intend to help.
The black family.
We talk about this all the time on this program.
All of the welfare programs that liberals started from LBJ forward were designed to improve economic circumstances and help the people who are said to be unequal to achieve equality.
And what happened?
The black family was torn apart because the federal government's welfare checks assume the role of the father who no longer had to stay home and be responsible.
And so the black family is, you know, in a mess.
Good intentions, liberals care, but their principle of equality leads to people being genuinely harmed.
Education system again.
And there are countless other examples of this.
So the point of all this is when liberals say that they have principles and they're holding to their principles and they want to espouse and expand their principles, understand one thing.
The principle counts more than the results and the harm to people.
Back after this, Operation Chaos resumes after this.
Ha, welcome back.
Couple more examples here.
Barack Obama.
He wants to raise the capital gains tax rate.
And he does this under the pretext of spreading misery.
It's not fair that some of these corporate chieftains only pay 15% on their capital gains, and a lot of Americans are paying more, their secretaries are paying what's not fair.
It's not fair, so we're going to raise rates on capital gains.
He acknowledges it will reduce revenue.
But says it is more fair.
It is going to harm the very people that he wants to help.
And those are the people who are employed by these rich people.
Every damn time they raise taxes, the people they think are supposed to be made to feel better because somebody's being gotten even with, like the rich, we're going to spread to misery, rich are going to suffer like you are.
No, because the rich are going to keep their jobs, you're going to get laid off.
Thank you, Barack Obama.
Principle over people.
Nuclear power.
Nuclear power.
If we had nuclear, we have no nuclear because of one stupid stinking movie.
The China syndrome.
If we had nuclear power, we would not be as concerned about our dependence on foreign oil.
We wouldn't be as concerned about the pollution of coal.
But we can't have nuclear power because it threatens the environment.
We can't have nuclear power because they say it might hurt people when not producing it and developing it hurts people.
I also think they oppose nuclear because they don't like the word nuclear.
It's a projection of U.S. power.
It's real simple to understand.
It's hard to believe it if you have been enmeshed in ignorance and have bought for your entire life the notion that liberals are the ones who care.
And even if you see the results of their plans and their policies harmful to people, you still give them a break because at least they're trying.
At least they want to help.
At least they No, if anybody honestly assessed the results of liberalism in the last fifty years, it would be politically dead.
There would be relics to professors in every college, just so we could remember who these people were.
Most of the wax figures at Madame Tussaud's would be liberals.
And that would be the extent of their worthwhile life.
If the results were honestly examined, but they aren't.
Back to the phones now.
Pittsburgh, Wendy, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Nice to talk to you.
Thank you.
Uh, I'm sorry to say this, but I I just cringe when you yuck it up about Bill uh Clinton at the restaurant and about the crush on Hillary thing.
I just because it it legitimizes them, and I just think about all the things that they have done over the years to people and the FBI files and Billy Dale and all this sexual harassment, and I just I just don't find them funny at all.
Well, they are funny as hell.
I mean, they're they're they're they're dangerous, there's no equipment they're I mean, you can't.
They ruin people's lives, and you know, like the and then Bill goes and uses he used you to talk about cloak cochlear implants and then how you know how compassionate he is when he hasn't care he could give a rat's batotie about your cochlear implant.
I mean, come on.
But the You're missing the point of that.
I don't miss the point.
I think it legitimizes them.
It makes them human and real.
Oh, come on.
They for one how in the world can Bill Clinton telling a gigantic lie like that in my pointing and out humanize the guy.
He didn't talk to me about cochlear.
No, no, not on your show.
He went on somebody else's show, and then he gets to talk about how, you know, how uh magnanimous he is about your cochlear implants.
You know, it's like you know, I think he used you, and and just when you yuck it up about them, it humanizes them, and and people kind of, you know, it takes the edge off of what they've done to people in this country.
I think uh well look, I understand your sensitivity to this.
This is frankly why a lot of people are very concerned about Operation Chaos.
Because they think Operation Chaos is oriented towards helping Mrs. Clinton go all the way.
Uh, which is not is not the purpose here.
But look, what happened happened.
The guy was on the radio.
I didn't put him on the radio, these other guys did.
I found out about it.
I wanted to comment on it.
I didn't say I had a crush on Hillary, she did.
Well, you know, I mean, if anything, these people are humanizing me to the left.
You gotta look at it that way too.
Can you imagine how how mad the left is at the Clintons for humanizing me?
I I don't I don't know that anything could could humanize you to the left, Rush, I'm sorry to say, but you should be glad about that.
And I noticed that my name wasn't one of the top ten that you like, but that's okay.
I don't like my name either.
Wendy, Wendy, we uh need to grab your shoulders and shake you here.
You don't like anything today.
You don't like your name.
No, I'm just kidding, Rush.
I really I just you know, when when you talk about Bill Clinton and you you yucking it up and him with the date, you know, I go back and I think about, you know, uh Kell uh what's her name, Willie and Broderick and Paul you know, it I it just it's not funny.
It just isn't funny to me they're not.
Can I can I can I tell you the the thing that most troubles me about telling the story about Clinton getting on my date?
All right, what?
Well, if you take a look at the women that Bill Clinton has found attractive over the years.
And what opinion must people have of the woman I was with?
You know, Clinton's taste in women is not much above trailer park.
And so the thing that worries me, the thing that worries me more about this story, if James Carmel can say it, I can say it.
If if the thing that worries me more about this is what people are going to think of this woman I was with when they compare the woman the women that Clinton has been interested in over the years.
Uh it could be very insulting to her if you get my point.
Well, see, there you go again.
We're we're yucking it up about this, you know, Bill Clinton and Wendy, waiting up I'm sorry, I just don't find them funny.
I don't mind what they do finding.
Wendy, Wendy, it happened.
It happened in the rest.
What am I supposed to do?
Come here with the dukes up.
I mean, that the the the thing happened.
All right.
I I accept that.
I'm just giving you my opinion.
Well, that doesn't mean I don't like you.
I do.
Well, I I appreciate that.
I really sound a little wifey at times, but I appreciate that.
I'm glad you called.
Okay, bye-bye.
Thanks very much.
Uh Operation Chaos results in North Carolina in uh McDowell and Mecklenburg Counties.
Mecklenburg County is Charlotte, North Carolina.
Record low Republican turnout in McDowell and Mecklenburg counties.
This does not mean that Republicans are staying home.
This means that Republican registration is low.
People aren't showing up to vote Republican in Mecklenburg and McDowell counties.
They are crossing over and voting Democrat in these counties.
In uh fr from this is uh the Raleigh News and Observer headlines some Republicans seek Democrat ballots.
The Democrat presidential primary is such a big attraction, even some Republicans asked for Democrat ballots today.
They were out of luck, though.
State law doesn't allow crossover voting.
People who are registered with a party may vote only in that party's primary, only unaffiliated voters who've not registered as members of either party are allowed to choose whether to vote in the Democrat or Republican primary.
Now this story does not accommodate and account for the number of store uh of uh people who re-registered Democrat before the deadline to be able to vote as Operation Chaos operatives.
Earlier this year, conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh urged Republicans in states that allow crossover voting to cast ballots for Senator Clinton.
Limbaugh said he wanted to keep the Democrats fighting among themselves, but uh somebody named Gary Bartlett, executive director, State Board of Elections said the GOP requests to vote Democrat in North Carolina were not so nefarious.
They see an active presidential election, they want to be a part of it.
Nefarious.
At Raleigh's Falls River Precinct, Voter Diane Earp said that she was frustrated to learn the state does not allow crossover voting in the primary.
Well, Operation Chaos voters were advised well in advance to change their registration prior to the deadline so that they could vote.
And apparently, since there is record low Republican turnout in McDowell and Mecklenburg counties in North Carolina, a number of uh Operation Chaos commandos and operatives followed orders and are showing up and voting in droves, at least in those two counties.
We haven't heard about any others yet, uh, in the Democrat primary.
They have a brief timeout here.
We'll come back.
More of your phone calls, lots more from the audio soundbite roster as well.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, back after this.
Making more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying.
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, truth detector, doctor of democracy, here at the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Senator McCain is also in North Carolina today, trying to get noticed.
He was in North Carolina talking about judges and the kind of judge.
Well, I mean, the whole news cycles devoted to the Democrat primaries and Operation Chaos.
So Senator McCain wants to make some news.
Well, from the AP out of Phoenix, Arizona.
McCain says Fed's failure led to local immigration efforts.
Now I I want you to hang on here as you hear this.
Republican presidential hopeful John McCain said Monday that the federal government's failure to overhaul its immigration policies and secure the border was regrettably prompted, has regrettedly prompted some states and cities to enter the fight against the nation's border woes.
Some communities, frustrated by federal border efforts, are rejecting the long-held notion that immigration is an exclusive federal responsibility.
Local efforts include denying some public benefits to illegals, training police officers in federal immigration law, and trying to prevent businesses from hiring illegal border crossers.
McCain told reporters in Phoenix on Cinco de Mayo, it saddens me to see these conflicting approaches toward the issue of illegal immigration because we wouldn't have this problem if the federal government had carried out its responsibilities.
In this case, my friends, I ask, who was the federal government here?
Who was it that was the impetus and the energy behind closed door legislation that would not have secured the borders?
Who was it that was helping to push amnesty legislation that forced the states and local communities to act in order to protect themselves from rampant crime, drunk driving, all kinds of hell happening out there.
It was forced to act because the plan that the federal government put forth would not have alleviated one ounce of this problem.
And the plan that was put forth that didn't happen was not put forth by the federal government.
It was put forth by John McCain and Ted Kennedy.
With the assistance of the president.
Limboa.
Limboa, this is why I went to North Carolina.
Chuck about the judges!
Sorry, Senator, you're right.
Uh Janet Coachville, Indiana, welcome to the uh EIB network.
Hello.
Janet?
Hello.
Hi.
Megadetto.
There's a longtime rush listener here.
Thank you very much.
I wanted to let you know that Operation Chaos Commando reporting in that it's going well in Indiana.
I am hearing from all over the state, even uh the drive-by media is noting how how heavy the Republican turnout is in Indiana today.
Uh where I voted, we're about 40 miles west of uh Indianapolis in Hendricks County, which is total Republican.
They were passing out little uh cards.
Green ones for Democrats, uh blue for Republic, so that uh they could set the machines up for how you wanted to vote.
And the whole time I was there, it was about 14 people ahead of me.
I only saw one blue card.
Well, we're hearing anecdotal stories like this from numerous commandos such as you.
And by the way, I'm also hearing nobody's being challenged.
I mean, that I've heard from nobody is being challenged.
The uh the rumors of intimidation tactics by voter registration people or uh poll place people has not seemed to materialize in many places, and then a lot of operatives uh that have reported in today actually uh say they're disappointed.
That they were steeled to be challenged.
They were ready for it, and it didn't happen.
This is um Marta in in Gadsden, Alabama.
Hi, and welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi, how are you?
Very well.
I'm nervous, so I hope it doesn't show.
It doesn't show.
Uh I just wanted to call and say I agree with your earlier caller.
I'm sick of hearing about Bill Clinton hitting on your date, because I'm sure that you know very well how to take care of your date.
And we know that he hits on anything that's within viewing range.
That's just Bill Clinton.
Yeah.
And uh just, you know, I am tired of hearing about it.
Because I don't see what the point is.
Over and over and over again.
Could you enlighten me on that?
Because I think it's a funny story, and it happened to me, and it was the first time I had ever met this guy.
And I think it confirmed everything we knew about the guy.
Well, that's a good thing.
I mean, from the stuff from the stem.
He had a wingman to distract me.
He came up now, he's lying about it.
It's I mean, it it it it fits the mold.
Well, we know that Bubba does that all the time.
I mean, that you're right, that's nothing new, but I mean, we heard that a long time ago, and I just you know, it just gets kind of old hearing that, and uh I kind of agree with the other lady that it just in a way it seems like you're insecure or something.
And I know that's not the case.
Oh, come on, now wait a minute, Martha.
There's something going on out here.
I am insecure.
What does that mean?
Well, I don't know.
That's what I don't understand.
It comes in.
What do you mean what that means that I am insecure?
Well, uh, you keep hitting, he's hitting on my date.
Hitting on my date.
Oh, come on.
That's not insignificant.
I'm telling it's a funny story for crying out it's gonna be one if I've ever write another book, it's gonna be big in there.
Okay, Rush.
You know what you know what the real story is.
You know what you don't like?
No, what I'll tell you exactly.
You're the one who's insecure.
You don't like hearing me, L. Rushbow use the term my date.
That's what is that's it.
Maybe you're right.
It's only see.
Maybe I'm jealous.
Maybe you're a little jealous here.
No, I know that you're perfectly capable of taking care of your date.
I mean, you know, that's that's not it.
It's just I hear hate to hear Bubba's name even mentioned.
Well, you know, he's let me tell you what let me tell you what's out of proportion about this.
Right from my standpoint.
Okay.
Only today, and you are the second.
First was Wendy in Pittsburgh.
Uh-huh.
Here you come from Gadsden, Alabama, and both of you are s very intelligent women, and you thought it I don't know if she said she was nervous, but you did, and you're not nervous at all.
Because you are fired up.
You're wired.
Now, throughout Operation Chaos, since we started this in March, I have been advocating people to vote for Hillary Clinton.
True.
And I haven't gotten anywhere near the complaints about that that I have received from you two today talking about this this dinner I had where Clinton hit on my date.
And I'm all of a sudden now I mentioned the Clintons here in the context of this of this dinner story, and all hell breaks loose.
Yet I can mention Hillary Clinton vote for Hillary Clinton for three months here, and you don't call me and say, I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Clintons when you shut up.
I don't like hearing about so there's got to be a boy-girl thing going on here somewhere.
This is Well, I think the the uh Operation Chaos, I think it's brilliant.
Well I think it's wonderful, you know what you've done with Hillary, and I'll tell you another thing.
I think Hillary is the one with the crush on you.
Well, I didn't want to be that presumptive.
I hope it's right.
I do believe that could definitely happen.
I mean, she's probably so deprived of male companionship, really from anybody with her uh what is it you call her lockbox?
Testicle testicle lockbox.
I guess you know that's kind of nerve wracking, and then we know she never gets any attention from Bubba, so probably stars.
Martha.
Uh-huh.
I gotta hang up.
I'm sick and tired of you talking about Hillary.
Okay.
I just I don't want to hear it.
I hate these people.
These people are polluting our country, and I don't want to hear about the Clinton war.
Okay, touche.
Okay.
Okay, thank you, Roger.
Love you.
One more Senator McCain's story from uh Phoenix again on Monday.
This is a Reuters story.
Senator McCain reached out to Hispanic voters on Monday as they sought to win over a constituency that has moved away from his Republican Party but couldn't prove key in swing states in a close presidential race in November.
McCain's campaign launched a Spanish language website to mark the Mexican Cinco de Mayo Festival, and McCain told reporters that everything about our Hispanic voters is tailor-made to the Republican message.
This is why Hispanics, I guess, have now become the minority in Democrat registration in Florida.
Here is uh Joshua Ilkart, Indiana.
Joshua, nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Make a ditto's rush.
Thank you.
I've been listening to you since I was uh twelve years old.
And eighteen years later I'm an operative.
I appreciate that.
That shows you what you can do in this country if you stick to it.
Well, uh I I first want to make a comment to to all those doubters out there who are sore afraid of Hillary.
Our enemy is socialism and liberals.
It's not just Hillary, it's not just any single issue, it's about a decision-making process.
It's family versus village, it's individualism versus statism, it's Americanism versus world centralism.
And and to put it all into one person in Hillary that I know we all hate, but it that that doesn't help us.
No, because policy wise, there's not a smidgen bit of difference between Hillary and Obama.
Right.
And and I was in in the camp of just letting the gym screw things up, but um uh Obama you know is a sincere socialist idle ideologue, and losing is worse than winning.
So I had to do something, so I rolled out of bed this morning, put on some holy jeans, put on an old rugby shirt, and uh went out and voted for Hillary at 6.15 a.m. and there wasn't anybody there yet.
But uh problems.
Do you get challenged?
Not at all.
I keep uh I I'm I'm reading battle reports, field reports uh from the Northern Front, which is Indiana, and I can't I nobody yet has been challenged, and yet the Democrats were threatening this uh intimidation tactic.
It might have been that they were just threatening in order to keep the turnout low.
Uh also the uh some of the uh the skeptics of Operation Chaos in the drive-by media are saying, come on, limbaugh, chaos can't be.
Most of these Republicans are gonna vote Obama anyway.
In the Northern States, that's what happens.
We shall see.
Bottom line is this.
You know, you people in the drive-by's, I actually hope you keep lying to yourselves.
If you really think that a majority of the Republicans in North Carolina, in Pennsylvania, in Indiana, are registering Democrat to vote for Obama, which is what they say is happening today by two to one, even though they don't know yet.
If you think most of these Republicans are registering as Democrats to vote Obama and are gonna vote Obama in November, you have another thing coming.
They these people delude themselves into thinking that everybody in the country has the same adoration, fawning love for Obama that they in the drive-by media do.
And it's not the case.
As we have chronicled on this program, watch how many of these Republicans turn are turned aback and re-registered uh Republican from Democrat before the general.
Uh some of them have told me they're gonna stay registered as Democrats, just to screw up the Democrats uh in uh pre-polling and the actual counting of votes because they're gonna vote uh Republican in uh in in November.
But the idea that there are this I mean, look at I can understand this.
I can understand there are a lot of Republicans who are dispirited and angry at their own party.
I have no question about it.
But the idea that the vast majority of Republicans registering Democrat to vote Obama, particularly in Indiana, are gonna vote are doing so because they love Obama.
You guys in a drive-by is a lying to yourselves.
You are deluding yourselves.
You think that the rest of the country has this same messianic view of Obama that you do.
I got a name for you.
Jeremiah Wright.
They don't have that view of him anymore.
He is nothing special.
He's just another run-of-the-mill average politician.
It is only in the eyes of the drive-by media that he's something unique and special and has never before trod the political soil uh the way he has.
It's that you you guys continue to lie to yourselves, continue to puff yourselves up, continue to say that you have this bond of relatability with average Americans, particularly Republicans in flyover country, and you are going to be yet stunned again when November comes around.
This also, by the way, part of Operation Chaos.
Here is Peggy in um North Shore, Long Island.
Nice to have you on the program, Peggy.
I rush I'm sorry, but I told Snurley that that chaos reigns supreme in the Republican Party.
Uh uh all of my friends, uh many of them who are Republicans, and I'm now now asking them flat out, are they going to vote for McCain?
And they tell me without a moment's hesitation.
No.
And I'm desperately frightened.
I'm afraid you're playing a very dangerous game here.
I think that a lot of attention has got to be spent on making McCain palatable to all of us.
Wait a second now.
Okay.
Whose job is that?
I hope it's yours.
Oh, geez.
You know, I've had some hard assignments.
Well, honey, I might be able to do that.
I can tell you don't like him.
I mean, they you make that evident.
I don't I don't have a personal dislike to the city.
No, no, I realize that.
No, I live.
I have great respect for his uh heroism and his patriotism and so forth.
Okay.
But I just, as serious as things are, I recoil at the notion that it's a badge of courage or greatness to make deals with the likes of Ted Kennedy.
I mean, you people can call here today and give me grief for telling my little funny story about uh Bill Clinton in a dinner in New York.
I have not crossed the aisle and become friends with the Clintons.
I'm not voting Democrat.
I'm not advancing Democrat ideas.
I'm not trying to be accepted by the drive-by media.
Our nominees does all that stuff, and it just alarms me.
It just, it just it worries me.
I know it's worrying.
And I'll tell you what ought to I'm gonna tell you what ought to worry you more than that, and this is something we're gonna be dealing with once this Operation Chaos phase is over.
The Republicans have just lost two guaranteed safe seats in the House of Representatives.
Denny Hastert's seat and Woody Jenkins in in uh in uh in Louisiana.
Now, Woody Jenkins, 26 years in the House, very conservative.
He lost to a Democrat recently.
The Democrat's not a liberal.
The drive-bys are talking about, whoa, wow, this is big.
Why, this means the Democrats are really gonna take over.
He was beaten by a conservative Democrat because he was perceived to have become not as conservative as he was.
And so people are gonna vote conservative in these house races if they and if that's a Democrat like that happened in North Carolina, a number of other southern states, and Nancy Pelosi knows this, she's gonna run whoever she has to win demographically, geographically.
Therefore, the thing you ought to be concerned about is these are two seats that were guaranteed safe.
If you want to if you want to get scared and read anything into this, you can say we're gonna lose seats in the House that nobody's even counting up yet, to the point it won't matter who the president is.
I uh that's my entire problem.
And I feel that since we're stuck uh on I don't think he's a bad man, of course not.
But I there's no doubt my mind that he's got to come up with somebody and uh as a vice president that was is going to help him because these people, believe me, they are Republicans.
And when they look at me deadly.
Who are they gonna vote for?
Who do they say they're gonna vote for?
I uh uh they I didn't get that far with them.
All they said is and they shut me right off.
We will not vote for McCain.
I know, I I hear that a lot too.
I'm not sure that's gonna hold up among all these people.
Some of them you get down to brass tax and general campaign starts, and the truth about Obama and Hillary permeates everybody.
It'll change.
I have another story coming up when we get to the next hour very quickly out of St. Louis, St. Louis University, about how liberal principle ends up bollocksing everything up.
And this is about toilet parody at a sports arena.
