	You know, the Feminazis forgot one thing.
	Well, one of the one of the objectives of the Feminazis over the last twenty, twenty-five years, has been to dominate the public education system so as to remove the competitive nature of boys.
	You know, there's a crisis of young man boy education in the schools.
	And they've did this on purpose to eliminate male competition in the workforce.
	This was part of Feminazi Grand Plan.
	They forgot affirmative action for black guys.
	And because of that, every bit of their plan has gone up in smoke now because they they if they had to come out in favor of affirmative action for black guys, and that's it.
	See, this is one of the things that really irritates the women.
	And they're women all over this country fit to be tied, trust me on this.
	And it's it's it's one of the things that affirmative action is exactly it's the liberals eventually are going to be devoured by their own policies.
	And it has happened here.
	Because Barack Obama is an affirmative action candidate.
	There's no question the way he's being treated by the drive-by's and so forth and so on, the way he's been puffed up here with the magical Messiah type message with no criticism allowed.
	So it's this they just forgot that one thing, affirmative action for black guys.
	And if they had remembered to oppose that, then they wouldn't face the situation they face today.
	Greetings, my friends, welcome back.
	Uh Rushlin bought the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, 800 282-2882.
	If you want to be on the program today, the email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
	This happened while I was gone.
	I read this, I don't know, Saturday, Sunday, whenever it was.
	Barack Obama, it was Sunday.
	In Roseburg, Oregon during a campaign rally.
	This is what Senator Obama said.
	We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times, and uh whether we're living in a desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect that every other country is gonna say, okay, you know, you guys go ahead and keep on using 25% of the world's energy, even though you only account for three percent of the population, and we'll we'll be fine.
	Don't worry about us.
	That's not leadership.
	This man is a product of his environment, and that is a line of thinking straight out of uh the academy.
	It is straight out of uh elitist professors, universities, uh teachers and so forth.
	It is it is it uh it's almost uh an orthodoxy.
	It's not original thinking in any way, shape, manner, or form, but it also represents a worldview that is so starkly unrealistic and wrong as to be frightening.
	Because what Obama is saying is basically that he believes in a zero-sum game, meaning that if you keep your house at seventy-two degrees, some poor slob in Darfer has to keep his thermostat at 92 degrees.
	Or if you go out and eat a second quarter pounder with cheese, hold the pickles, that somebody around the world is denied their first quarter pounder with cheese hold the pickles.
	More than that, this is the personification of the Jimmy Carter second term campaign.
	You in America are guilty.
	You must do with less.
	What the world thinks of us is more important, and leadership will be defined in an Obama presidency by making you do with less.
	Never mind that you doing with less will not lead to anybody else by definition having more, because that's not how it happens.
	Economies, world and national, are constantly enlarging.
	The pie gets bigger and bigger and bigger in free market systems.
	This is frighteningly uninformed.
	It is not intellectual in any way, shape, manner, or form.
	He is saying something that's been around for the environmentalist wacko playbook for 25 years.
	And it is frightening that there are people out there who applaud this.
	Now, I I want to take a moment here once again.
	I've I've endeavored to do this on two or three previous occasions.
	And I want to speak to you superdelegates in the Democrat Party.
	Mike, ready this campaign, or that that sound bite again.
	You superdelegates, please listen to this with your undivided attention.
	We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times, and uh whether we're living in a desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect that every other country is gonna say, okay, you know, you guys go ahead and keep on using 25% of the world's energy, even though you only account for 3% of the population, and we'll we'll be fine.
	Don't worry about us.
	That's not leadership.
	Now, you superdelegates have a real tough decision to make here.
	You know full well you have a totally flawed candidate here.
	You know full well when you hear that, that you are hearing your party's probable standard bearer tell this country that it is not exceptional.
	Your candidate is ignorant of all of the production that this country has shared with the world in the form of inventions, uh creations and advancements in a lifestyle that have benefited people the world over who live in democracies and free market societies.
	Your candidate is doing his level best to tell the people that he wants to vote for him and your party, that the United States of America is guilty, that its best days are behind us, that there is no future, that we cannot keep living as we have, and if we do, we are going to destroy our reputation of the world and the world itself.
	You know full well this man cannot be elected.
	You superdelegates know in your hearts, he cannot be elected.
	He can't be elected even against John McCain.
	He cannot be elected.
	You know it.
	You know you are looking at a disaster.
	If he keeps taking talking like this, and there's every expectation he will, because his mind is nothing more than a sponge that has soaked up all of the gobbledygook and anti-American BS that he hears from his university buddies.
	When you listen to Obama speak, you may as well be listening to a college professor, tenured or otherwise.
	We were told that after what was it, North Carolina, that there would be a steady stream of superdelegates announcing for Obama.
	And for a couple days, there was a trickle, but it is stopped.
	I saw that one today has decided to go to Obama after this huge victory in Oregon.
	Where are you all?
	Obama's now reduced after having been blown out of s of five of the last seven primaries.
	I mean blown out, blown out, not getting anywhere near the votes necessary from your most popular constituency, working class white voters, is demonstrating he cannot win this election.
	You know full well he can't.
	It is time for you supers to buck up here.
	It is time for you to get with the program and get with the plan.
	I share your pain.
	I understand the dilemma that you face.
	You're worried to death that if you take this away from him that you're gonna have riots, you're gonna have all kinds of problems with the black vote.
	I keep trying to tell you you have done far worse to black people in this country in your own party than taking a nomination away from Barack Obama.
	And they have always stuck with you, and they will keep sticking with you.
	What is the point, superdelegates of being super if you're not gonna be super.
	What's the point of being a rubber stamp?
	The superdelegates were set up to be super delegates.
	The superdelegates were set up To prevent the very mistake that is on the verge of being made by your party.
	I can hear what you're saying back to me.
	Saying, Mr. Limbaugh, we understand you, but you realize what our option is.
	It's Hillary Clinton.
	Yeah, I know the dilemma that you're in.
	I understand the problem that you've got.
	And I understand it a lot of you superdelegates.
	It's really not even about the party, it's about you personally.
	And you wanting a future.
	And let me put it in terms that are very stark to you.
	You want to support somebody who's going to lose this election?
	Does that make you a winner?
	That help you out down the road.
	You have in Barack Obama one of the most flawed candidates that a political party has ever been on the verge of nominating to be president of the United States, and you know it.
	He thinks he has campaigned in 57 states.
	He has said things that Dan Quayle would have been tarred and feathered for saying.
	He is a gaff machine.
	Gaff after gaff after gaff.
	Michelle Malkin has a column today, National Review Online, and even a New York Post, in which she lists a number of these gaffes.
	You're all familiar with them.
	You'll remember them when you read them, but the press has never made a big deal out of them.
	But you supers, you know.
	You know what they are, and you know that once this primary season ends, that those gaffes are going to be exploited.
	57 states.
	We need Arab language people in Afghanistan where they don't speak Arabic.
	Said that in Cape Girota, Missouri.
	Even to folks at Thorngate Limited, the clothing manufacturing factory where he spoke, scratched their heads on that one.
	Even to people in Rio Linda got that one.
	That's how bad that gaff was.
	When they understand it's a gaff in Rio Linda, you are in trouble.
	You better think about this.
	You have time.
	It's lost five of the last seven.
	He's been blown out.
	Look at your own precious exit polls.
	Look at what the public is seeing of your party.
	It's either sexist or racist.
	And you got nothing but anger roiling throughout your party on both sides of this primary.
	Livid rage used to be directed at George W. Bush.
	Now it's directed internally.
	As I say, what's the point of being a superdelegate if you're not going to be super?
	What's the point in being a superdelegate if you're just going to rubber stamp?
	You are there to prevent just this kind of mistake.
	You are there to prevent another Jimmy Carter.
	You are there to prevent another George McGovern.
	You are in the process of nominating one who encapsulates both of them.
	Back in just a second.
	Think about it.
	I'm looking forward to the weekend, ladies and the big memorial day week and always have a big barbecue on Sunday afternoon.
	A bunch of friends come over, have Monday to recuperate from it.
	Usually go play golf sometime in the daytime and then come back to 5 o'clock in the afternoon and do this.
	And uh what's fun about it is, of course, I've used Alan Brothers, and I get all I have to do is tell people it's gonna be Alan Brothers Burgers.
	Kobe, by the way, wag you, we call Wagyu, but it's the same thing as Kobe and uh and those giant jumbo hot dogs and people ask to be invited.
	Plus we get to fire up the grill.
	And that causes pollutants.
	That causes things to escape into the atmosphere to increase global warming.
	And I know that while I'm having fun with my friends here, I'm also irritating the environmentalist wackos at the same time.
	Uh what I have for vegetarian salads, you know, that that sort of stuff.
	I don't know any vegetarians, though, other than you.
	You want to come?
	You want to come over?
	We'll find some weak and friends.
	You drink, you do you have turkey burgers or anything like that?
	No, you just do vegan stuff.
	All right, we'll put we'll fry some cheese.
	We'll fry some French fries for you.
	All that sort of stuff.
	It folks, this this is it is really the barbecue season for most of you is just now getting started.
	Of course, we here in South Florida barbecue year-round.
	And the uh the items from Allen Brothers have told you about them constantly.
	They are it's just I cannot adequately describe how much people love it and how delicious it is.
	It's like going to a restaurant, only you fix it yourself.
	It's stuff you cannot get in a grocery store.
	Um the uh we we've adding a rush more pack.
	It is a rush pack that has samples.
	Well, now we're adding a rush more pack.
	It includes eight free steak burgers and an exclusive EIB apron.
	Uh and that's not all you get the eight free steak burgers in the rush sample pack as well.
	Uh AB stakes.com is the website.
	There's a phone number to 800 260 0111.
	And when you go to the website, take a look, there's something, there's desserts, there's something for everybody.
	It is amazing.
	They ship FedEx or UPS, however they get it to you the next day, uh, and it is delicious.
	Allen Brothers steaks, simply the best, and you can't get it anywhere else.
	ABstakes.com.
	Jack in Boston, I'm glad you waited.
	Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
	Hello.
	Yeah, Rush, you know, in view of all these uh disaffected uh female Hillary voters.
	Uh you you mentioned a while back this uh Sarah Palin uh I'm thinking about a woman candidate to run with uh with uh McCain, and I don't know if maybe her or some other, but she seems like she you haven't mentioned her in a while, and she fit the bill not only is she I think the most popular governor in the United States, eighty something percent, but also with the Alaska oil drilling thing.
	Uh I haven't heard much about her lately, but wouldn't she be a good pick for McCain?
	You know, I I I got I've been been gone for four days.
	I was in uh Southern California on a guy golf trip.
	You know, in fact, played Tory Pines yesterday, the U.S. Open course shot at 86.
	That was fun.
	Everywhere.
	I cannot escape this.
	Who do you think is going to be McCain's VP?
	I haven't the slightest idea.
	I couldn't tell you.
	It seems like every day the short list changes.
	One day Tom Ridge is there, the next day Bob Portman from Rob Portman from Ohio.
	I haven't the slightest idea.
	People ask me who's Obama gonna pick.
	I think he'll pick I have no clue.
	Rush.
	I have no sense, and I don't, you know, I as far as Sarah Palin's concern, we've discussed her on this program before.
	I think did I just read that she um she's big pro-life, she just had a Down syndrome baby?
	Yeah, I've heard that.
	Uh uh, but uh uh in view of uh uh the uh energy situation up in Alaska and things like that, I I uh I I I mean well I'm gonna put it this way.
	Doesn't uh John McCain uh there's some his uh team member listen to your show, maybe take your advice if you suggest it or come on.
	John McCain, I don't think listen he says he doesn't listen to the show.
	Says he doesn't listen, and he's not gonna take my advice or anybody else's.
	In fact, you know, this I I understand that the interest that people have in the vice presidency.
	Uh people have said, and I I tend to uh agree with them on this, that McCain's vice presidential pick will be the most important vice presidential pick on a presidential ticket in a lot of our lifetimes for obvious reasons.
	Uh I don't think it's important that that that that important with uh with Obama.
	But a lot of people seem imbued with the fact that uh the only way the Democrats can unify is if uh Hillary is on the ticket as the vice president.
	I don't see that.
	Folks, and and and I'm even hearing people say that Obama may not have a choice, that the Democrats may force that on him.
	Now I don't buy that for a second either for this reason.
	Obama is moving in on the Democrat National Committee trying to take over.
	It's a secret move, but Nedra Pickler at the AP found out about it.
	They're already trying to oust Howard Dean, Obama excuse me, Obama's getting his people in there trying to take over.
	McCain's already done that at the RNC.
	But I want to pr give you a little mental picture here.
	Democrat Convention, Thursday night.
	Now, Thursday night, the Democrat Convention is the four 40th year anniversary of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech.
	So you got Obama up there.
	Do you think that Barack Obama or his lovely and gracious wife, Michelle My Bell, do you think they want to share the stage with Hillary and Bill Clinton?
	Can you see the four of them standing there with the balloons dropping and all that, all holding hands raised in unity?
	Do you think Barack Obama wants Bill Clinton lurking around anywhere in his administration, even as the wife of the vice president?
	Do you think Obama wants Hillary lurking around anywhere?
	I just that's something I don't see, but then again, the Democrats, you know, they've got big problems, and they may have to do something like this in order to unify it.
	But if that if if I just can't see uh with Bill Clinton on that stage, Obama's not going to exist.
	I mean, Clinton's gonna take over, and that's if he's up there as the as as the wife of the vice presidential nominee, and the balloons are dropping and they're holding hands on it, and uh, you know, the the Benny Banack and his orchestra are playing their limited repertoire of songs that Democrats can sing, and they got these four up there holding it.
	I just Bill Clinton's gonna be acting like he's the nominee.
	He's not gonna be able to help it.
	I just can't see them uh doing this.
	Far the McCain side is concerned.
	You know, frankly, there's something else that needs to happen what is vice president stuff, because that's gonna happen in due course.
	I was talking to my buddy F. Lee Levin this morning, and we we have decided we are sick and tired of this term.
	The Republicans need to rebrand themselves.
	This whole thing about rebranding the GOP, it's just inside the beltway mumbo jumbo.
	The Republican Party needs to reform itself, and there's one word that can describe the reform, and it's called conservatism.
	That's all that needs to happen here.
	VP can do it, so be it.
	Okay, startling.
	Lots of vegetarian things there, uh side dish-wise.
	Vegetable dumplings, I've even had these, and they are they're delicious.
	And they've got a great I know you like cheese, fried cheese, like they got a great cheese assortment.
	Uh cave-aged St. Peter's blue, garlic and pepper carn goudas, uh nine-year-aged cheddars, tomato squash, gratten, cranberry fennel, cornbread.
	I mean, they've got that's not all.
	There's all kinds of vegetarian things.
	Got Allen Brothers in addition to the hot dogs in the stakes.
	It's just indescribably delicious.
	Uh let's see now.
	What oh.
	How many of you know the name Linda Douglas?
	If you watch cable TV, you probably know Linda Douglas.
	She used to work at ABC News, sometimes appearing on the round table on this week with David Brinkley.
	She most recently has been working uh where?
	MBC.
	No, she's a contributing editor to National Journal.
	I'm sorry, she's and she appears as a as an analyst on NBC.
	She has just decided to quit journalism.
	Linda Douglas is going to work for the Obama campaign.
	As a senior strategist and as a senior campaign spokesperson on the road, a newly created position.
	So Linda Douglas, an analyst presenting herself as objective to the gills while on ABC and at the National Journal appearing on television as an analyst, has said, screw the pretense.
	I'm going full-fledged lib.
	I don't want everybody to know it.
	I'm running Obama's campaign.
	It's just incestuous.
	That's why I said these people just stop the pretense.
	If you work at CNN, if you work at MSNBC, go get a donkey lapel pin or brooch, depending on your gender, and just wear it.
	Identify yourself as a Democrat Party reporter.
	Ugh.
	No longer disguised as a news person.
	John in Topeka, Kansas.
	I'm glad you waited, sir.
	You're up next on the EIB network.
	Hey, you do Russ.
	Good to have you back.
	Thank you, sir.
	Um, you briefly talked about the um gas price hearing up on the hill, and I wanted to mention something that you did not.
	Uh Leahy was trying to make some big point, and he said uh normal supply and demand says that oil should be fifty or sixty bucks.
	And then it's not a free and competitive market.
	So Hofstein, the president of Shell, comes back with Well, Senator, you're absolutely right.
	This isn't a free market.
	You guys won't let us drill or you won't let us build refineries.
	Oh, he did say that.
	I see this has been going on while I have been busy hosting the program and I have not seen that.
	Yeah, I was hoping Hofstein actually came back and said, look, it's not a free market, you won't let us drill.
	Absolutely, yes.
	And I just think it's so great when um a hardworking American gets up on the hill and just intellectually manhandles one of these lawyer politician elitists.
	Wow, that is that that that's gold star time.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Actually, I've I it's about time these guys fight and fight back in.
	You know what does take courage?
	Because these guys can nail you.
	I mean, you're supposed to go up there and treat them like royalty, and you you're you're supposed to be deferential to the core.
	Uh and and uh very rarely do you see somebody fire back Hofstein, by the way, is the CEO of Shell Oil.
	Look at John, thanks for that.
	I appreciate it.
	We'll we'll dig deep uh and find that I do have a couple of sound bites in Lahey.
	Uh no retorts from the big oil executives.
	Uh, but here is uh we just two bites from Lahee, and here's the first.
	I'd like to know.
	I'm sure American families, American small businesses would like to know why prices are so disconnected from what normal supply and demand would indicate.
	Why is the price of oil increased 400% since President Bush took office?
	Why is it nearly doubled in the last year alone?
	We've seen it go up six years in a row.
	First time that has ever happened.
	Prices should not skyrocket like this in a properly functioning competitive market.
	Certainly the cost of oil to these companies is not double.
	Certainly our witnesses today would not contend that as service station operators who are gouging consumers for windfall profits.
	You know, they have Senator Leahy, this is probably where where Hofstein came in, or Hofstein came in and said, Hey, there is no free market.
	You won't let us drill in this country, nor can we build any refineries.
	What free market?
	I hope that's true.
	I hope the report from our caller from Topeka, Kansas, is true.
	But here is here is Leahy once again referring to price gouging.
	There have been countless investigations into this, government investigations into price gouging.
	They've never found any evidence of it anywhere.
	Particularly at the top.
	At big oil.
	Uh I'd like to know, I'm sure American families, American small business like to know why prices are so disconnected from what normal supply and demand would indicate.
	Here again, you have another politician who really wants more oil.
	They all want more oil.
	All three presidential candidates want more oil.
	It's the problem is they want it from somewhere else.
	They want the Saudis to pump more.
	They want OPEC to pump more.
	They want Mexico to pump more.
	It's just it's it's absurdly embarrassing.
	Here's the second lay bite.
	I'd like to know what these oil executives think about applying principles of competition from our antitrust laws to the commercial activity of the oil producing states.
	The members of OPEC meet regularly to agree on limits to the amount of oil they'll produce.
	I think that's wrong.
	I think it hurts Americans.
	Because such a meeting took place in almost any other context.
	Participants would likely be charged for and arrested for an illegal conspiracy in the restraint of trade.
	So do our witnesses agree we need to crack down speculation and manipulation the oil commodities market.
	Oh man.
	You better get with your presidential candidate, Senator Leahy, because you have a conflicting message here.
	You think that the OPEC countries, by limiting the amount of oil they produce, is hurting Americans.
	Well, your presidential candidate says we deserve to be hurt.
	That we are only three percent of the population of the world and we're using 25% of the world's energy resources.
	We deserve to be hurt.
	The rest of the world ought to be mad at us, Senator Leahy.
	And so OPEC, according to your presidential nominee, Barack Obama, is doing exactly what he would expect countries around the world to do.
	Cause us pain, cause we deserve it.
	Because we've been bad.
	We have been a bad country.
	But here again, Senator Leahy wants more oil.
	What a policy.
	You bring the oil execs up for the umpteenth time, and you point fingers at them, and you accuse them of all kinds of things when they're the only ones in the room Who have done anything to produce a drop of energy?
	None of these senators would know what to do first thing if it were up to them.
	And yet here they are as spectators demanding that these oil execs explain themselves.
	And in the second phase of this, we're gonna sue OPEC.
	Well, that's that's that's we're how we're gonna arrest him?
	We're gonna sue him, who's gonna serve him the litigation papers?
	In what court is a lawsuit going to be tried?
	Do you think these people in OPEC Senator are just gonna sit there and not retaliate?
	Do you know who you're dealing with?
	There's a simple solution to all this.
	It's called our own oil.
	It's very simple.
	Here's Michael in Columbia, Maryland, your next sir on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Hi, Rush.
	It's really I'm really glad I have a chance to talk to you.
	Um I wanted to talk about Senator Kennedy uh for a minute, and I know he uh had some bad news this weekend, and I would ask people to pray for him, but I hope that Barack Obama doesn't see this as a kind of a political opportunity or some kind of uh, you know, sympathy vote.
	I think that would be wrong.
	What do you mean?
	Well, I think about eight years ago, I uh you have to refresh my memory.
	I believe there was some kind of tragic incident with a Minnesota um yes, uh Paul Wellstone.
	Yeah, and uh and I wouldn't like to see something like that, you know, happen again.
	You wouldn't?
	Well, I think that would be uh I think that'd be wrong, basically.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It was two thousand two.
	It was right before the midterm elections in two thousand two.
	Paul Wellstone unfortunately killed in a plane crash, I think on a campaign stop, campaign trip, and the uh the Democrats held a memorial for him after the funeral in Minneapolis, and a bunch of Republicans from the Senate, his colleagues went, and they were booed out of the place.
	And then Tom uh Tom Harkin got up there and they all yeah, it ended up being a campaign rally uh to elect Democrats because that's what Paul would have wanted.
	Exactly.
	And to enact this legislation because that's what Paul would have wanted.
	Do it for Paul.
	Do it for Paul.
	Uh look at we you know, the the Democrat Party, their their funeral crashers.
	Uh we've we've we've done, you know, our Sarah Paradise on this.
	And who else if Clinton's went down and crashed somebody's funeral?
	Uh some Coretta Scott King, the Clintons went down and they crashed her funeral.
	It turned that into a political event.
	I forgot about that.
	And and that she's a woman.
	Uh and exploited her.
	So I it it's hard to it's hard to tell uh what uh Obama will do here.
	I'm but I I would uh I wouldn't even want to make a prediction.
	But I would just agree I would hope like you that these circumstances are not exploited for political gain.
	That would be that would be terrible.
	Yeah, I I think that would be that would be that'd be horrible.
	Absolutely right.
	Thank you, uh Michael, for the call.
	Quick time out.
	We'll be back after this.
	From the Associated Press on Sunday.
	Democrat Barack Obama told seasoned citizens that John McCain would threaten the Social Security that they and millions like them depend on because he supports privatizing the program.
	Again, this is right out of the Democrat Party playbook.
	They have tried this every election, every presidential election since I have been old enough to remember.
	Republicans are gonna take away your Social Security.
	Change you can believe in.
	Republicans are gonna take away your the more I hear of this guy, the less impressed I am, and it gets more and more frustrating, and I gotta be honest about this.
	It gets more and more frustrating to run into people who say, but yeah, at least he makes sense.
	At least he can talk, at least he cares.
	At least he's got some compassion for people.
	I don't care.
	I just want a president that represents us.
	Well, I just want a president that sounds good.
	I want a president that cares.
	Want somebody young and vital that can communicate.
	I get more and more frustrated because I don't know how to deal with it.
	You know, it it's obvious that arguing policy with them is not gonna uh matter.
	And when people have that impression of somebody when you start telling them the truth about how the you know how stupid they are.
	I mean, for all this classic, well, for all this classic education, where's the evidence of it?
	This guy spouts nothing but bromides that he's heard in the classroom, and when he sits around sipping cocktails with his university elites.
	That's where all this stuff comes from.
	Look here, here's another example.
	Found this at uh uh Jonah Goldberg had this at National Review Online.
	Uh this is Obama explaining his Kentucky loss, his upcoming Kentucky loss.
	Well, what it what it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country.
	Senator Clinton, I think is much better known coming from a nearby state of Arkansas, so it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.
	Some of those states in the middle.
	Now, Arkansas is one of wait a second now, Arkansas is one of those states in the middle, right?
	Illinois borders Kentucky.
	Illinois does not border Arkansas.
	This is another gaffe.
	This is one of these the states in the middle.
	He also said that Kentucky Democrats are fools who let themselves get pumped full of false rumors by Fox News or words to that effect.
	But it's okay because when the fall comes around in a general election, he's gonna rally people.
	He's gonna rally these fools that watch Fox News, and they'll end up voting for him.
	They will.
	All these people in the states in the middle.
	Now, if you tell an Obama supporter who supports him not because of policy, you do you tell an Obama supporter because supports him on the basis of personality or cult or whatever, you tell them this, oh come on, you're nitpicking.
	They are in the middle, Rush.
	What are you getting so nitpicky about?
	Those states are in the middle.
	Don't you think it's a little condescending?
	These states in the middle.
	I mean, he's he's uh he's a he's a reflection of his environment, and his environment is college professors and a university uh uh you know at the academy setting, uh these sorts of things.
	This is this is this is where he's spouting all this stuff.
	This is what he has heard all of his life.
	This is what he thinks real America is, which is why that gaffe in San Francisco, the bitter clingers who cling to their religion and guns, when time gets tough and they'll like people who don't look like them.
	I mean, that's exactly the kind of dribble it's taught in our institutions of higher learning.
	Donnie in Phoenix City, Alabama, you're next on the EIB network.
	Hello, sir.
	Uh hi, Rush.
	Uh it's an honor and a pleasure to talk to you.
	First time caller.
	Glad you got through, sir.
	Uh you were talking earlier in the program when it first started about the gas prices, uh, things going on and and how uh environmentalists are stopping us from drilling in the United States.
	That's right.
	My question, as a thinking human being, would be the environment is a world problem.
	Is that not correct?
	The environment is indeed a world problem.
	Okay.
	Who would be better able to drill in a proper way or greener way, a less intrusive way to the environment than the United States?
	Uh couldn't give you an answer, but I think I I don't I think that wherever the U.S. oil companies go to drill, they're gonna drill just as well and just as cleanly anywhere they go.
	Well, that's that's true, but I don't know that that's the question.
	Well, the the question is right now we get the majority, I assume, from the Middle East.
	No.
	No, majority comes from Canada.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Middle East is second.
	Okay.
	Probably those guys aren't very environmentally friendly over there from the pictures I've seen.
	Um if we could produce oil in our own country and do it greener, why not do it?
	Well, uh, this is a question that we have been debating but for for days, Weeks, months, years on this program.
	And the answer is the Democrat Party is aligned with the environmentalists who have as a policy objective the crippling of the U.S. economy via an attack on capitalism.
	So that's not the question.
	The question is not who can drill cleaner.
	The question is, if pollution and global warming, quote unquote, the scam is a world problem, why is only the United States being blamed?
	Why is only the largest free democracy, capitalist government, and economy in the world?
	Why are we the only ones being blamed when you're right?
	We clean up our messes better than anybody in the world cleans up their messes.
	Why are we the only ones being blamed?
	Why aren't the Japanese being blamed?
	Why aren't the Chinese being blamed?
	Why isn't the European Union being blamed?
	Why aren't the Russians being blamed?
	Why is nobody being blamed but us?
	And in that answer, you'll find the express purpose of the global warming hoax.
	You know what would be great if a Senate Judiciary Committee call up a bunch of left-wing environmentalist wackos and demand answers from them?
	We'll be back.
	Third hour coming right up.
