Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 podcast.
Big, big, big, big primary tomorrow, West Virginia.
Obama is not even competing there, knows it's going to be a landslide.
Obama is going to be in my hometown tomorrow of Cape Girardo, Missouri, appearing before a town meeting of a hundred people while getting shellacked in West Virginia.
Have you read some of the comments from West Virginia voters?
Well, I think he's a Muslim, isn't he?
I've heard he's a Muslim.
I heard his wife is an atheist.
Mrs. Clinton standing on a porch looking like she's wearing a moomu.
It's actually a uh a raincoat.
Greetings.
Uh, folks, welcome.
Well, it's it's not a flattering picture.
Drudge had it up, but it's not there anymore.
Oh, yep, still is.
Still is.
Right hand column.
Greetings, folks.
Nice to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Uh television.
Telephone number 800 282-2882.
Ted Kennedy says that Mrs. Clinton is not fit to be vice president.
Now imagine if you are Hillary Clinton and this old.
The swimmer, the swimmer tells you that you are not fit to be vice president.
I mean, that has to be really depressing.
I mean, when when when Ted Kennedy says you're not fit, that must mean that you are lower than Chappaquitic Pond scum, folks.
This it just it's just all it's just all ganging up on Mrs. Clinton now.
They're um they're all the watching his Sunday shows yesterday.
Yeah, you, Mr. Snerdley, you watched all of it.
When's the last time you watched all the Sunday shows?
You must have been really bored.
Yeah, I mean it was they just all over the Clintons on this race business, were they not yesterday?
Yeah, tell you what, it's obvious that the uh racial civil war is taking place in the Democrat Party.
No one to Punk could not handle it.
Terry McCallough was not.
He he got so discombobulated he tried to tell Tim Russert that his dad was dead.
And Russ said, no, no, no.
Big Russ is in a barker lounger watching a show right now, and even later in the program of the punk did it again.
Uh, referred to Russert's dad as as having passed away.
Anyway, it is true, ladies and gentlemen.
Democratic presidential frontrunner Barack Obama will visit.
This is from the St. Louis Post Dispatch yesterday.
And it's obviously also in the Southeast Missouri in the local newspaper in Cape Girardeau.
Obama will visit Cape Girardo on Tuesday, his first trip into rural Missouri's Republican territory, and welcome news to his most prominent Missouri supporter, Senator Claire McCaskill.
Obama's gonna hold a town hall meeting in my hometown.
A hundred people is all they're gonna put in there.
It will be about the losses that working people have suffered, said McCaskill, who plans to be there along with uh Obama.
Uh Claire McCaskill credits her own rural treks with uh providing the slight margin that won her Senate seat in 2006.
In Obama's case, such a stop might help ease some of the concerns of uh rural Democrats.
Uh for those of you in in real in the rural means hick.
Hick, the calling people in my hometown Hicks is what this is.
This whole story uses the word rural throughout.
And they're calling Republicans and Democrats in my hometown Hicks.
Arrogant drive-by's.
You gotta show up, you gotta care, said former Lieutenant Governor Joe Maxwell of Mexico, Missouri, who was elected Saturday as a member of the Missouri delegate National Democratic Committee.
Uh that's the kind of stuff that can make a difference.
At Saturday's convention in Missouri, the Obama and Clinton camp selected the last of their delegates.
Each has 36 pledged Missouri delegates of the state's 16 superdelegates.
Ten are split, six remain uncommitted.
By the way, Obama has now pulled ahead in the pledged superdelegate race.
Ike Skelton, a Democrat from Lexington, which is uh outside Kansas City, is a Clinton supporter, sought to ease concerns from the Obama camp about his decision Friday to go public with his concerns about Obama's electability.
A lot of people just start to do this now.
Well, not a lot, but there's some starting to to uh uh be concerned here about Obama's electability.
Richard Gephardt, another Clinton supporter, won the strongest ovation at the Missouri State Democrat convention when he said this.
George Bush is by far the worst person who's ever been president of the United States.
Gasoline's four dollars a gallon on its way to eight dollars a gallon, and this man sits there clueless.
Hey, little dick.
All well and good.
But these gas prices didn't start going through the roof until your buddies took over the cap to the house in 2006.
And remember, this is supposedly why we elected Democrats to the House of Representatives two years ago.
They were going to fix this.
They had a plan to bring gas prices down, and we haven't seen the plan, little dick.
Sit there and blame it on Bush.
I mean, through six years of the Bush administration, oil was low, gas was low for the most part.
Only when the Democrats got in there did the world markets panic start going through the roof.
In an interview, here's the last paragraph of the story.
In an interview, Claire McCaskill simply smiled when she was asked if Obama's choice of Cape Girarde, Missouri for tomorrow's stop, had some particular significance.
She just smiled.
It's the hometown of the nation's most prominent conservative commentator.
Uh let me correct this for the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
It's the hometown of the nation's most prominent commentator.
Conservative, liberal, moderate, independent, or what have you.
Rush Limbaugh, who has been encouraged well, name name for me a prominent liberal commentator who's even in my ballpark.
This is not ego, folks.
I'm simply asking for fact here.
It's the hometown of the nation's most prominent commentator, Rush Limbaugh, who has been encouraging Republicans to cross over in some state Democrat primaries and vote for Hillary Clinton.
I would suggest this.
I I would say this this is funny.
This cannot be a coincidence.
I mean, of all this is a Republican district.
The representative from this district is a Republican.
So he's going in there to visit you know while West Virginia's going to be voting in landslide numbers for Mrs. Clinton, he's going into Southeast Missouri, obviously to try to appeal to white Southern Hicks.
Uh, because it is said that that's who he's lacking the ability to uh appeal to.
But do you think it's a coincidence, snerdly?
That of all the places in Missouri or in the Midwest that the Obama camp could have chosen, he chose Cape Girardeau shortly, sure right in the midst of Operation Chaos.
It's I I it it cannot be a coincidence.
I'll tell you what I think he ought to do.
This is, I mean, he's gonna have a hundred people in there uh at that at his town meeting.
Now Clinton went to Cape Girardeo.
You remember this in his second term, I think.
Or maybe the re-election campaign for the second term.
Clinton went in there.
We have a little park in Cape Girardo called Cappahaw Park, uh, a bunch of baseball diamonds, uh uh uh a lagoon, swimming pool, public swimming pool, some you know, cotton candy concession stands, so forth.
And uh Clinton went in there and I think drew 20,000 people.
That was not a coincidence either.
But Obama's gonna go in there with a closed town hall meeting of a hundred people.
I don't even know if the media is going to bother going because so many of them can be covering the West Virginia primary returns tomorrow night.
But he's got to have some sort of body watch press contingent that will be there.
But one thing he may not know, and Senator McCaskill may not know this, that the Cape Girardo Chamber of Commerce, it's a town of about 25,000 people.
This is one of the reasons we're somewhat incredulous here.
And nothing against Cape Girardo.
I mean, I'm sure everybody there proudest punch and honored as they can be that Obama's gonna flip into town for a while.
But there's St. Louis.
Of course, that's not rural, but you don't have to go far from St. Louis to be rural.
I mean, they could have gone to Popper Bluff, they could have gone to Charleston, they could have gone to Sykston.
Uh they they could have gone down to Kennett, they could have gone any number of places.
Maybe they chose Cape Girardo because there's a bridge there where people from Illinois can also show up.
Uh who knows?
That's his home state.
But nevertheless, the Chamber of Commerce there, and they even have a convention and visitors' bureau in Cape Girardo, a town of 25,000, and there is, if you go there, you can take the actual Rush Limbaugh tour.
They used to advertise this on billboards out on I-55, north and south from Memphis To St. Louis.
And the Rush Limbaugh tour, the little house that I grew up in, uh, the uh high school that I attended and you know participated in a number of pranks at, the bridge abutment over I-55, where friends of mine hung a um mannequin uh one night, the night before school one year in high school.
Uh the place I kicked the extra point that won the game.
Uh they do this.
They have this tour uh that goes to I think Obama ought to take it.
And it maybe it's an olive branch, uh who knows.
Uh but the it's a driving tour, by the way.
You don't have to get out of your car.
It's not a it's not a walking tour.
It's it's not a it's not a pain in the rear at all.
They just uh put you on a little bus and drive you around, a little tape recorder in the bus and explains all the various highlights.
Uh the bowling alley, uh, where my parents used to take us on Friday night, and I'd stock up on quarters, invite friends to go, give them the quarters to play the penball.
Uh no, I haven't taken a tour.
I am the tour.
I haven't taken the tour.
Why would I take the tour?
I have, well, no, my my mother took the tour.
Uh my mother took the tour.
She she she corrected anything they might have uh might have had wrong.
Uh yeah, the practice field where I was on the high school football team for one year, they go by that.
Uh I've I forgot all the things.
A lot of places.
Uh uh.
Yeah, they take you to the first radio station.
They they drive by the first radio station and point uh the tour.
Oh, five minutes.
No, it it it it takes about 15 or 20 because the radio station's outside of town.
Takes a while to drive out there and get back.
Plus it's up on a hill.
You can't actually drive, you have to look at it from the uh from the from the highway.
No, the Limbaugh Museum will not get there.
I I I haven't decided on where the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum is going to be, HR, but uh hell who knows.
It uh it it could be there.
At any rate, we have to take a uh brief time out here, folks.
We'll come back and continue with all the rest of today's program on the EIB network.
Stay where you are.
I must correct myself, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
I erred.
Mere moments ago when I said that the population of my hometown Cape Girardeau is 25,000 people.
That's what it was when I was growing up.
It's now 35,000 people, uh, my brother informs me.
And I've also learned that the the Rush Limbaugh tour is 12 stops, and that many people, there are river boats that travel down and up through Mississippi.
Cape Giroto's right on the Mississippi River near river boats that stop in Cape Girardeau, uh, and many people on the riverboards take the tour.
It is a very, very popular thing for people to do.
You got a big seawall down there to protect against floods.
They got pictures of famous Missourians on the seawall, including me.
So there's a lot of stuff for Obama to do there tomorrow after he does his town hall meeting with 100 people.
A blog for the Los Angeles Times today, virtually all the nation's political attention in recent weeks is focused on the state-by-state presidential nomination struggle between Hillary and Obama.
In the meantime, though, quietly and largely under the radar of most people, the forces of Ron Paul have been organizing across the country to uh stage an embarrassing public revolt against Senator McCain when Republicans gather for the convention in St. Paul at the beginning of September.
So the uh Ron Paul forces are planning on their own version of Operation Chaos at the Republican National Convention, and Bob Barr, I read just a slug line of this today, and I'm not sure if it's definite or if he's pondering it, but I think the slug line said that Bob Barr, the former congressman from Georgia, is going to announce his run for the presidency today on the uh on the libertarian ticket.
Now, if if well, I know in Ron Paul's case it's true, and if Barr does, it's uh uh it's just more of the same.
You just gonna you you just have disgruntled Republicans here who are doing what they can to try to take away votes from uh from Senator McCain.
Senator McCain finds himself in the news uh today on Saturday around noontime.
The powers that be at Newsweek magazine posted a convention quandary on their website in the story, their ace investigative reporter Michael Isakoff uh reported that uh the guy chosen by McCain to run the Republican convention this summer,
Doug Goodyear from Arizona, was causing some headaches within the ranks because he's CEO of something called the DCI Group, which is a consulting firm that earned about three million dollars last year lobbying for Exxon Mobile, General Motors, and other clients.
And further complicating matters is the Isakoff reveal that DCI, Doug Goodyear's program or company, was paid $348,000 in 2002 to represent Burma's military junta.
So one of McCain's guys has had to quit for representing Burma as a lobbyist.
There are a lot of lobbyists on McCain's team, despite the fact that he does not care much for lobbyists.
The second McCain aide in his many days has left the campaign over ties to a PR firm that once represented the Burmese junta.
Doug Davenport, one of McCain's eleven regional campaign managers, quit his post yesterday.
McCain's spokeswoman said in response to an inquiry.
Doug is tened his resignation, and we've accepted it, said Jill Hazelbaker.
She said that Doug Davenport quit for the same reason that McCain's hand picked convention manager quit yesterday, and that is that they're both helping to burnish the PR image of the military junta in Burma.
And Senator McCain, with a story here that's uh on the French news agency.
McCain faces doubts among Republican conservatives while Senator McCain's practically assured the Republican nomination.
Many party members are having a hard time except accepting him and showing it with symbolic votes against him in primary contests.
The Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, calculated that Senator McCain has garnered no more than 45% of the Republican vote since January.
Now people are missing something.
He's not seeking the Republican vote at this point in time.
Well, he's not.
I mean, I a lot of people think I'm being flippant with that, but but he's not.
It's clear he's this let me reach back to the printer here for something real quick.
I mean, you you people have probably seen this story.
McCain urges free market principles to reduce global warming.
McCain reaching out to both independents and green-minded social conservatives, argues, isn't this?
You know who those you know who that is?
You know who the green-minded social conservatives are?
Evangelicals.
Apparently there is a significant number of evangelicals that are going green.
And McCain's reaching out to them.
They're going green along the same side of the aisle as Al Gore and the rest of these hoaxers are.
Now, when these evangelicals decide to side with liberals, the drive-by media loves them.
The drive-by media thinks they're wonderful.
And they call them green-minded social conservatives, not evangelicals, because they hate evangelicals.
They think evangelicals pose a great threat.
So McCain, reaching out to both independents, green-minded social conservatives, argues that global warming is undeniable.
And the country has to take steps to bring it under control while adhering to free market principles.
Gosh, this is making this so hard on me.
I just can't sit here and ignore this.
Very, very hard.
Free market principles to global warming.
Really sounds nice, doesn't it?
Free market principles of global warming.
After you've accepted a hoax.
After you've accepted that it's indisputable that man is causing it.
Free market principles to global warming is a contradiction in terms.
If there was man-made global warming, the free market would already be responding to it in a more vigorous way.
Instead, what we have is government telling industry what must be done and industry reacting to it.
Because the drive-bys have convinced so many customers of all businesses that we face a dire threat.
And these customers have been made to believe that they can stop the threat and they can stop the warming.
And they can make their lives matter.
And they can count.
And they can have meaning in their lives if they do all this green stuff.
And so businesses are simply going green as a marketing technique.
You know, this is what people think.
Fine, we'll give it to them.
The free market doesn't respond on its own to false science, by the way.
A free market would reject false science, for the most part, by, by definition.
Now, this is all about attracting younger voters.
This is all about McCain.
You talk about independent, social minded conservatives.
It's about getting younger voters as well, because they're they're among those seen Gore's movie, they really think that all this is uh is man-made.
So you have Senator McCain echoing Al Gore in pretending there's no dispute about man-made global warming.
See, to me, this is a chance.
This is historical.
This is an historical chance to drive a wedge between the liberal environmental radicals and the blue-collar workers that that Obama cannot get.
Now, this is the time for McCain to enhance the party, but instead he's pandering.
I don't know if Obama is gonna be flying into Cape Girardo or driving in from somewhere else.
But if he flies into Cape Girardo, there's only one road out of the airport.
The name of that road is Rush H. Limbaugh Jr.
Way, named after my father who was instrumental in uh getting the big runway built there be a bond issue back in the in the 1960s, and the second tallest building in town is the Limbaugh Law Firm office building.
Which uh depending on where he will not be able to miss that, uh it's in the main intersection in town if he's uh if he drives in.
Now back to this this global warming uh stuff.
I uh uh you all are very familiar with uh my opinions on this, and I'm sure most of you hold those opinions as well, that this is a full-fledged hoax, that it's it's just it's just to see a Republican signing onto this and and siding with Al Gore is just Well, it's instructive.
It's just instructive.
Now, you know, global warming also stands with abortion rights and an array of social causes as important issues to the evangelicals and Christian conservatives.
Now, some of the Christian conservatives, evangelicals have now gone over to the green side on global warming.
Uh the Lib Media now loves these people.
They hate the evangelicals when they're talking about abortion or other social issues.
But when the evangelicals join forces with the left, they're mavericks.
Maverick evangelicals, and they are appreciated, they're lauded, and they're held up as uh as as great examples.
But there's another factor going on here, and I I don't think that, you know, in politics, follow the money and you'll have the answer to a lot of questions.
And the other factor here is that big business has decided that there is profit in going green.
Look at NBC.
Look at look at look at General Electric.
I mean, they they have made the decision to go green, uh, not necessarily because they believe all this, but rather because their customers do, a majority of their customers do.
And a more majority of the customers, you know, they will uh it is theorized will reward companies who also have this social consciousness about the destruction that we are waging on our planet.
And so it just becomes another marketing way for corporations and businesses to separate people from their money.
And what better way than an immoral cause?
And so, if I don't know if you saw this over the weekend, but Drudge Hettle's story up there that uh McCain's donations, contributions from the American corporate community are lagging way behind the same amount of dollars that George W. Bush got.
So I think what's going on here as much as anything else is an attempt by Senator McCain to reach out to corporate donors who lavished George W. Bush with uh with with big dollars so that that he can at least get up to where Bush's level was.
The troubling thing here, uh ladies and gentlemen, uh Senator McCain is I'm I'm I'm mapping out plans here to try to persuade Republicans to eventually cross over to vote for you.
And and this is not making any easier.
At some point, Republicans are gonna have to decide where they want to cross the aisle and vote for McCain.
Uh clearly he's rolling the dice and thinking that the green community and the independents and the youths uh out there will buy into this global warming business and think he's different than the average conservative Republican, and that will uh stand him in good stead.
Wall Street Journal today, the U.S. fighting the clock as the earth warms to dangerous levels, Senator McCain says in a speech today.
In environmentally conscious Oregon, reaching out to independent and moderate voters, he repeats his call for a cap and trade system whereby carbon emitting companies would have to reduce emissions or pay for credits that allowed them.
This is not this is almost a dead ringer for one of the first tax increases that Bill Clinton proposed in 1993.
Remember the famous carbon tax?
That's what it was called, and it was basically a cap and trade program.
And the bait way it works is some government entity is going to decide what the carbon footprint of each business can be.
And that business can meet those limits or trade those limits with another company that's not going to use all of it all of its limits, or it can buy them, or it can pay a tax to exceed the limits.
It's a tax increase.
By the time you slice it all up, it's a tax increase that corporations are going to end up passing on all down the line, uh, eventually reaching consumers.
And to say that the U.S. is fighting the clock as the earth warms to dangerous levels, folks.
The earth isn't warming.
The earth hasn't warmed since 1998.
Even global warming scientists last week put out a warning that because of natural variations in ocean currents.
There will be no warming for another ten to twelve years, but after that, look out because it's gonna skyrocket.
So there's no warming predicted for the next ten to twelve years.
How in the world can it be said that we're on the clock?
That we're fighting the this all of this is just it's maddening.
I see Al Gore out there.
Al Gore's out there trying to say that this hurricane in Myanmar is a result of global warming.
There was a worse hurricane in Bangladesh in 1991.
There have been worse hurricanes than this down the road.
Now I'm just waiting.
I am just waiting for somebody to say that all these tornadoes that are racking the United States midsection are due to global warming.
I got in touch with our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer at the University of Alabama Huntsville today, and he said, well, Rush 2008 could set a record for the number of tornadoes if the current trend continues, but it would be the last kind of severe weather you might expect to associate with warming.
In fact, the number of strong to violent tornadoes in America has actually decreased since the 1950s when tornado stats began.
And this is probably because of persistent El Nino conditions since the late 70s, El Niño associated with the global average warmth.
Instead, the greatest number of tornadoes actually occurred during La Niña conditions in the Pacific, which uh favors persistent cold air masses over North America.
So the bottom line is all of these extreme tornadoes are being called by cold air.
They're being caused by unusually cold air, and you can look at a map the past weekend and see how cold it was in a number of places.
That cold air comes south, meets the warm moist air.
Bam o you've got the recipe for big time tornadoes.
But it's cold air masses that cause this, not global warming.
Huge numbers of uh tornadoes occurred in 1998-99 during strong La Niña conditions.
La Niña also associated with the uh super outbreak of April 3rd and 4th in 1974, which saw 148 tornadoes in 18 hours.
Now we're going back 34 years.
April 3rd and 4th, 1974.
148 tornadoes in 18 hours, 330 people dead, 5500 injured.
As of today, the unusually stubborn cold air mass over most of North America looks like it's gonna continue to cause uh above-normal tornado activity over the central and eastern U.S. for at least another two weeks.
The stubborn cold air mass.
Now you remember that uh when you hear that global warming is responsible for this or climate change or uh or what have you to the phones, Livingston, Montana.
This is Barb.
I'm glad you called you up first.
Great to have you on the program today.
Hey good morning, Rush.
Hi.
Regional cooling dillos from Montana.
Thank you.
We've had a really wet, cold, snowy spring here.
Yes, I know.
I'm I I track it.
I track all weather everywhere.
Yeah.
Well the reason why I'm calling is I've heard you talk I've been listening to you since about 1988 I think.
Um anyway I've been last couple of months I've been listening to you kind of glow everybody that's into this green that is a conservative has believing in global warming and I know a lot of people that are conservative that are not buying this global warming.
But they're getting green because they want to eat better foods and have pestif pesticide free meals at home.
And I we raise natural lamb out here and there are so many people that want to buy local because they want to support local businesses and it has nothing to do with that they are trying to stop global warming.
And I just thought I'd share that with you.
Well I've I've I have noted this on several it's like if you want to go out and buy a hybrid, I've always go ahead just don't think you're saving the planet do it.
If you want it because you like the style if you want to because you want to save gasoline fine if you want to pollute less fine but the idea that that you can become part of a great social cause by doing such things is uh unnecessary but the the the the the green evangelicals are political with this and those were the people I was referring to here that the media is now praising that uh that McCain is uh is now courting.
Well I know a lot of evangelicals that are kind of greenish I would say and they are not uh necessarily what's wrong with pesticides have you ever have you ever heard of DDT?
Yeah.
Have you heard about the ban of D D Oh yeah.
Do you hear what happened because of the ban of D D well we have a lot of eagles here now I guess.
But I don't know what else would happen.
That's what I would say basically while in in Africa DDT has been responsible for how many malaria related deaths um around the world you know I would know about fifty million people have died because of malaria related diseases um since the ban on D D took place with Rachel Carson back in the 1970s.
She's still a heroine.
I'm not suggesting you go out and put DDT or any kind of pesticide on your on your food uh and eat it.
The the eagle thing was a myth uh the the the there's so many myths uh th it did not destroy the eagle eggs didn't destroy pelican eggs didn't destroy didn't destroy conder eggs all those things are myths DDT didn't do the reason that pelican is protected the eagles protected and the conder was protected is because their eggs are supposedly made so thin that the young hatchlings died before they hatched actually uh and n all that turned out to be a myth.
Now I can understand wanting to go organic and go green but the you've got to understand the terminology going green means you are actively involved politically in stopping man-made global warming.
So you got to be careful of the terminology that you accept and glom on to.
Quick timeout we'll be right back.
All right now here we go from the Gallup poll I am holding the latest results here in my formerly nicotine stained finger.
Headlines really all you need to hear Bush may be as harmful to McCain as right is to Obama.
One third of likely voters say they are less likely to vote for McCain because of George W. Bush.
Now may ask you a question when was the uh when was the last time George W. Bush screamed God bleep America when was the first time that George W. Bush screamed God bleep America if Senator McCain believes this he knows what to do about it.
He can fix it just run against the president you know I know he's already doing it he's he's trying to to limit the damage being associated with the George Bush he thinks might cause him.
Rich in Moscow Hills, Missouri, you're next on the E IB network sir, hello.
Hey Rush, good to talk to you again.
I know you know that there's a Moscow Mills, Missouri.
Yeah.
And the reason I'm calling is Obama should have picked our town if he was looking for a symbolism.
Yeah, tell people where Moscow Mills is.
Well, it's about four miles south of Troy, Missouri.
And where's Troy?
What's what's it near?
Oh gosh, let's see.
We're about uh I would say it's about fourteen or fifteen miles north of Wentzville, which is on South.
All right, see you he can't go there.
You're in the northern part of the state.
Listen to your listen to your accent.
Is that right?
North.
That's a people in St. Louis.
Well, I just came back to the city.
They don't call it hasn't affected you.
You have to be there longer than just a little bit.
All right.
Yeah.
People in St. like I-44 in St. Louis.
If you go to don't listen to people saying I Farty Far.
Uh so he can't go north of St. Louis and no hicks up there.
They don't sound like hicks, they don't like black kicks.
Well, see, the rest of the country, he could import them, and the rest of the country doesn't know that, even though I I shop on Ronald Reagan Drive.
Well, that's another reason he's not going to go there.
Uh but I know what you're getting at, Moscow Mills.
I'm not sure what I'm saying.
Well, that would what better place for a socialist liberal Democrat.
Well, pr the primaries is to solidify his base.
Uh ever so true.
But you you raise a good point.
There are all kinds of places in Missouri to go.
Cuba.
Cuba, Missouri.
Uh, that's right.
He could he could go there is a Cuba, Missouri.
I could not get over.
There's a Haiti.
There is a hate it's pronounced Hay Thai.
Exactly.
They pronounce it Hay Tai, but it's not just north of Kenneth.
You could go to Hayti.
Yes.
Absolutely.
I mean, all that's why did he pick on your town unless the first word is CAPE?
It's this is you don't force me into answering this.
I mean, this is so petrol.
That was my only guess.
That and the fact that you said the bridge across in the Illinois.
Yeah, the bridge crosses over to Illinois.
Yep.
But that's flimsy.
That's that's flimsy excuse.
Anyway, uh Rich, I appreciate it.
Okay.
Moscow Mills, Missouri, north of North, north of Went Wentzville.
Uh Mike, Santa Anna, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
How are you doing, Rush?
Good to you today.
Thank you, sir.
Um, thank you for your staff, the EIB network for every everything you guys do every day.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate that.
Uh there is no we guys here.
It is it is me.
Um I don't know, that's why Mr. Snowden said he did say he was underpaid for doing the ads for Mr. Obama.
Um, but we had a nice discussion about it, and I think after I see the certainly told you he was underpaid.
Yeah, for doing the spot for uh Obama.
You're Captain Stir the excrement, but you're not fooling me.
Hey, Rush, how many more times shall I and you get slapped in the face by Mr. McCain?
What do you mean up?
Operation Operation Chaos is wonderful.
I appreciate all the efforts.
And it's time that we got to start doing Mr. McCain.
Every time he speaks, he flat us conservative, evangelical people in the face.
How many more times when they turn my cheek, Rush?
That's up to you.
I I I don't know.
I I don't know what to tell you.
I'm I'm as perplexed by well, I'm not perplexed.
That's the thing.
I'm I uh uh I understand this.
I understand clearly what the game plan of Senator McCain uh is.
Well, Rush, all your athletes.
And I'm gonna folks, I want to I'm gonna let me let me put it to you in blunt terms.
There are and I'm not I'm not lumping Senator McCain in this in this group of people, but there are a significant number of people on the Republican side who do believe.
You know, we had a call.
We had a call.
Best way to illustrate this, a call on Friday from a woman in Miami who said when she mentioned that she was a Republican, she got visceral reactions I'm telling you there are a lot of people who blame George W. Bush for destroying the Republican Party or damaging it greatly and conservatism as well because of the all of the negative PR and reporting from the drive bys.
Uh and and I I I think uh That there's a body of thought among people who manage campaigns and who advise candidates because they go out there and they do polling and they say the Republican Party is below the gutter in terms of public perception.
Yeah, you won the Republican nomination, but you better make it clear that you are not the kind of Republican that the people today think the Republicans are and despise.
And I think that is largely what's what's going on here.
Back here in just a second.
Also, a couple other towns in Missouri that Obama could visit.
One is called Roach, Missouri, and another town called Peculiar, Missouri, along with Cuba, Missouri.
