Time Text
The Views Express been a host on this program, documented to be almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
We got a new opinion audit in the official opinion auditing firm in Sacramento, the Sullivan Group, no change.
Still almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
It's a major accomplishment of when you get that close to perfection and your opinions.
It takes a lot of being right, a lot of the time to move it up even one-tenth of a point.
We look at this as a very positive result.
Did not lose any ground here in the latest opinion audit.
Great to have you with us, folks.
Telephone number if you'd like to join us.
And if you're on the hold, stay there.
We're going to be getting to you very quickly.
800 282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Always get a big laugh when the drive-by media writes about something in the context that the drive-by media isn't covering it.
And it happened yesterday in the Washington Post, the lead editorial.
The Iraqi Upturn is the headline.
Don't look now, but the U.S. backed government and army may be winning the war.
Don't look now, the drive by trying not to look.
I mean, they don't want to see this.
This is upsetting every apple cart.
And on the man, I I want to take you back.
I asked a question, and this was last maybe a year ago, nine months ago, when the Democrats led by Dingy Harry and Nancy Pelosi and all the rest of them, and Obama were running on and on and on about how the surge will not work.
Remember the portrayal ad, the New York Times by MoveOn.org.
Remember the insulting questioning he got from Mrs. Clinton, having to uh a willing suspension of disbelief, accusing him of lying about the success of the surge.
Nancy Pelosi saying, Don't you come up here and lie to us about how well it's going.
That's not what we want to hear, so forth and so on.
And I asked a rhetorical question at the time.
I said, suppose what happens if this thing works and it works well?
And just suppose the president's approval numbers start coming up as a result of it.
Suppose Obama has made his number one qualification to be president, the fact that he never approved of the Iraq war, that he knew from the beginning it was a disaster, that he never supported it like Mrs. Clinton did.
And now he's got to find a way to find a graceful way out of this.
And the Washington Post has come along and given him that.
Let me give you a couple excerpts from their editorial yesterday.
There's been a relative lull in news coverage and debate about Iraq in recent weeks, which is odd.
This is sort of like me telling you folks it's really strange I haven't talked about this.
I wonder why.
I really it's like me beating myself up for not seriously, not trying to make funny.
There's been a relative lull in news coverage and debate about Iraq in recent weeks, which is odd because May could turn out to have been one of the most important months of the war.
While Washington's attention's been fixed elsewhere, military analysts have watched with astonishment as the Iraqi government and army have gained control for the first time of the port city of Basra and the sprawling Baghdad neighborhood of Sadur City, routing the Shi'ite militias that have ruled them for years, sending key militants scurrying to Iran.
At the same time, Iraqi and U.S. forces have pushed forward with a long-promised offensive in Mosul, the last urban refuge of Al-Qaeda.
Still many of its leaders have now been captured or killed.
The U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker, renowned for his cautious assessments, said that the terrorists have never been closer to defeat than they are now.
Iraq passed a turning point last fall when the U.S. counterinsurgency campaign launched in early 2007, produced a dramatic drop in violence and quelled the incipient sectarian war between Sunnis and Shiites.
Now another tipping point may be near, one that sees the Iraqi government and army restoring order in almost all of the country.
Dispersing both rival militias and the Iranian trained special groups and have used them as cuffer to wage war against Americans.
It is, of course, too early to celebrate, though now in disarray, the Mahdi army of Muki Al-Sadr could still regroup, and Iran will almost certainly seek to stir up new violence before the U.S. and Iraqi elections this fall still.
The rapidly improving conditions should allow U.S. commanders to make some welcome adjustments.
Then we move on to page two.
If the positive trends continue, proponents of withdrawing more U.S. troops, such as Mr. Obama might be able to responsibly carry out further pull outs next year.
Still, the likely Democrat nominee needs a plan for Iraq based on sustaining an improving situation rather than abandoning a failed enterprise.
You cannot get any more explicit than this from the drive-by media, the lead editorial in yesterday's Washington Post warning Obama, hey pal, your plan of getting out of there as a failed enterprise is up in smoke.
You better start figuring out a way to plan for Iraq based on sustaining and improving situation.
How does Obama do this with any credibility when all he has said is that it is a failure?
It has no chance.
It is doomed and we are doomed to defeat.
Looking for an audio soundbite here because we have one on this.
And it is from the lovely and gracious Mika Brzezinski.
Let me see.
Grab audio soundbite number twenty.
This is it.
Mika Bzinski this morning on Joe Scarborough's program on MSNBC, the New York Times reporter John Harwood says, I don't think Americans have forgotten Iraq.
You know what?
I think Americans are tired of being duped, and I think this is coming back from the McClellan book.
Everyone talks about how Americans want to win.
I don't know so much with Iraq.
So all this good news out of Iraq, Mika Bzinski of DNC TV, also known as MSNBC, says, Well, I don't think Americans care.
I don't care if they're winning, I don't care if we're winning.
Really?
Obama has got a problem.
The Democrats have a problem.
I speculated about this long ago.
The one what if that no one was discussing and nobody's discussing it now?
And it's a long shot, I admit.
But so was this.
Six weeks ago, much less six months ago, did you ever think that you would read or hear about an editorial in the drive-by media?
The Washington Post talking about how the war can be won, that Obama better shift his position to sustaining an improving situation rather than abandoning a bad one.
That was just as big a long shot as this one is.
What if before the election, Bush's folly becomes Bush's triumph?
What if before the election President Bush's approval numbers go up?
They've been hovering where?
32 to 25%?
What if they hit 40?
What if they start what if they what if there's a trend line of the Bush approval numbers going up?
How many years did it take for Seward's folly, that is the Alaska purchase, to be recognized as a stroke of genius?
I mean, when Seward purchased Alaska, we thought, oh my, what a stupid waste of money.
Well, but now look.
How many years will it take for Bush's folly, aka the mission in the Middle East to become one?
What if it turns out to be right in the next five months instead of the next five years or fifty years?
It's possible.
When was the last time you heard we lost the war?
When was the last time you heard we can't win the war?
When was the last time you heard the surge can't work?
When was the last time you heard the surge isn't working?
When was the last time you heard the surge won't work?
When was the last time you heard we've already lost?
Well, as recently as two months ago.
And as recently as exactly one year ago, actually 14 months ago now when Dingy Harry was waving the white flag of surrender.
How long has it been since you heard our troops are caught in the crossfire of a civil war?
Our troops have no business being in the midst of a civil war.
How long has it been since you heard why isn't the Iraqi government meeting its benchmarks?
Remember that?
The benchmarks an incompetent U.S. Congress couldn't meet itself, put on the Iraqis, and they kept asking, why aren't there benchmarks being met?
There's no political progress here.
When was the last time you heard that success of the Petraeus strategy, the surge calls for a suspension of disbelief?
Something is happening out there, and it'll become apparent to all sooner if not later.
But this is the question.
What if it becomes apparent to all sooner?
Mainstream media says not a chance.
Washington Post writes this piece as though they're innocent bystanders and spectators.
How come the media not covering this?
To which you ask, well, where the hell is this on the front page?
Why is this on the editorial page?
Where is this story on the front page?
Ask yourself, is anybody in the drive-by media today as respected as the great journalist Horace Greeley was?
You remember Horace Greeley.
Go west, young man.
One of the most severe critics of Bush's f sorry, Stewart's folly was the very same Horace Greeley.
In the then mainstream New York Tribune.
Now there wasn't any television at the time, it was the 1860s.
And so when you hear the what ifs, well, what if Mrs. Clinton goes to Denver?
Well, what if the McClellan book kills McCain's chances?
Well, what if Hillary supports Obama?
What if Hillary doesn't support Obama?
What if the Hillary Backers stay home?
There's that one other one if.
What if something happens in Iraq that shifts Bush's folly into Bush's triumph?
Where does that leave the Democrats who have built their entire nominating process on the folly of Bush's war?
Now why'd the Washington Post do this piece?
I suspect they did it and they put it on the editorial page to get it out of the way.
So that at least one drive-by organ can say, hey, well, we reported it.
And then wash their hands up.
I'll be surprised if the drive this is this does not fit the storyline, does not fit the action line, doesn't fit the template.
I doubt that we will see any significant reporting of this.
But if the news continues to improve, it may be hard for them to continue to ignore it.
And if, big if, but if Bush's numbers start going up as a result of this, you think there's chaos in the Democrat Party now, just wait.
America's real anchor man, Doctor of Democracy.
America's truth detector, Rush Limbaugh, another summer spectacular from the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Nick in Salt Lake City, nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Rush, despite our uh our differences, uh it's a pleasure to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, I I I know I don't fit the mold of a Clinton supporter, but not only am I a Clinton supporter, I'm a very upset and furious Clinton supporter today.
You said it there um perfectly.
I I believe that my count has been it's campaign's been hijacked by the but not only the Democratic Committee, but also Obama himself, I believe.
Just furious today.
I'm almost here's I gotta give you something else to think about here, Nick, and I know we're you're on a cell phone, I can hear a little bit of a delay, but you know, the somebody's running Obama, somebody's behind Obama.
This this there's a and I don't mean in a conspiratorial way.
There's always a mover and a shaker behind uh candidates, Reagan had his kitchen cabinet so forth.
Somebody's pushing Obama, somebody's writing a speech, somebody has figured out that he was the best guy to get rid of the Clintons.
There's somebody in the Democrat Party that really wants rid of the Clintons.
We know that George Soros is involved with Obama, but there's somebody uh uh that that that's that's putting the words in his mouth, because you're right, when he goes off the teleprompter, he is a different guy.
He does not come off as the Messiah, he doesn't come off as this great unifier.
Uh he has trouble articulating with a bunch of stutters and pauses and and so forth.
So but my point in telling you this is that there must be real animosity toward the Clintons at high levels of this party to go with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, you know, it frustrates me the most is as here you got a candidate, uh Mrs. Clinton that's that's done her duty, she's she's sat quietly for for twenty years and and been loyal to the to a to our party and and now look what she gets.
I I have a proposal that may not you may not like to hear, but if you'll hear me out on this, um I love listening to Democrat proposals.
Well uh you know, we I know you guys are Republicans are are upset about McCain and how he crosses the the party line, but I think that he could do the what's really good for the country and and miss well why not show the ultimate sign of of American unity and and national unity and and join up with an unstoppable ticket.
Clinton, I mean uh uh rather a McCain Clinton ticket.
Well, you know, I've thought about that, Nick.
In fact, we uh we discussed that last week on this program, the possibility of putting Mrs. Clinton on the ticket with Senator McCain.
The basic problem with it is that there's not enough contrast between the two candidates.
Um McCain is gonna have to do something.
I mean, he can go out he can go out and and uh and get all the Democrat and independent votes he wants, but if he doesn't find a way to get some of or all of the conservative base to warm up to him, he's gonna have trouble.
He's gonna have trouble winning even against a weakened Obama.
He's gonna have to have the Republican Party base.
And Hillary Hillary's not gonna bring bring him that.
He's already gonna get what Hillary could bring him.
Well, you do you think Republicans are conservatives are gonna vote for Obama?
I think they'll vote for McCain just to not vote for Obama.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
They won't vote for Obama, that's the point, but they're not gonna vote for a ticket of McCain Clinton.
They just they're just not.
They're the it d if if uh McCain chooses the right vice presidential candidate that appeals to the Republican base, then he stands a pretty good chance of having some of them at least vote for the ticket rather than staying home and not voting.
They would never the Republican base would never vote Obama.
Well, I I agree with that.
I just I I I think and I I know I'm skewed because I'm a Clinton supporter, but I I think it'd be a great ticket.
I I think you have conservatives that would vote for McCain and and then a whole slew of us that would vote for Clinton.
Well, why do you like Hillary over Obama?
What's the big deal?
Well, I I just don't know.
I I think I speak for a lot of uh Democrats.
I don't know where Obama.
I don't know where he comes from, I don't know his past.
Um Yes, you do.
You're you're right.
I I know uh but I also know that the media seems to cover that up and it scares me.
I mean, what what what what what's he done and what's he he hasn't done modern.
You guys, you know, this is look at how far we got Nick Nick, thanks for the call.
Look at how far we've come.
Here are we had two callers in a row, two consecutive Democrats, and they have they've both been Hillary supporters, and they've both been very critical of the media for being unkind to Hillary.
Now that's chaos.
Can we go back to the nineties?
All through the two Clinton terms.
Think back, folks.
Get into your own personal cranial archives.
Whatever the Clinton White House wanted spun, was spun flawlessly and on command.
If Ken Starr was said to be a sex-starved pervert, then that's what he was throughout the drive by media.
If Paula Jones was trailer trash, and you could drag a dollar bill through any trailer park and come up with any number of Paula Jones, that's what the drive by media's said.
If all of these funny campaign contributions had no controlling legal authority, and therefore there was nothing illegal about them.
Drive by media just spit it right back out.
Just repeated it verbatim.
When Clinton would lie through his teeth, the drive-by media would marvel at how well he lied.
And then they would write stories about how such lies are actually good for people, because they spare hurt feelings.
That Clinton was actually setting a trend here for getting along with one another.
Little white lies actually help.
Whatever, whatever the Clinton spin was.
Well, it depends on what is is.
I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, not a single time ever.
I never asked anybody to lie.
Whatever he said, whatever she said.
Wham bam, thank you, ma'am.
It was repeated.
And now look where we are.
Whatever the Clintons say is rejected.
Can you imagine?
I just saw Harold Ickies on DNC TV, and he was trying to explain his case of what happened Saturday at the superdelegate deal with the rules and bylaws committee.
And I'm I can see it on his face.
He just shocked.
Years ago, whatever Icky said, they would be running to the presses right now, and it would be the lead story of the news for the next two days.
Andrea Mitchell just looked at Harold Dickies and the magic's gone.
Back to the audio sunbites.
This is Saturday in Washington.
Andrea Mitchell, after the rules in bylaws committee meeting, said this about the protesters.
Clinton supporters have poured out of the balcony here, right behind us, and they're shouting, Denver, Denver.
In other words, on to Denver.
They say they want to be there at the convention.
Now, Tom Foreman, who um the CNN, the Democrat National Committee Rules and By Laws Committee, says this about the protesters.
There are many people who came out of this very, very, very angry in uh almost my entire time in politics.
I've never seen anything quite like it.
A lot of people yelling that they will take this to Denver, yelling that they felt robbed as their vote.
Some Obama supporters in the middle of all of that, saying they were shocked at how angry the uh Clinton supporters were.
A lot of the women here said they felt this was a personal affront on a gender line.
You hear them screaming in the background.
What are the odds of this?
Here's CNN's Tom Foreman saying, I've never quite seen anything like this my entire time in politics.
Never seen a protest like this that took place on Saturday.
Take this to Denver.
Really Obama supporters shocked at how angry the Clinton supporters were.
Does nobody listen to me?
On the Democrat side of this, as the commander-in-chief of Operation Chaos, I have spelled this out from shortly before the Texas and Ohio primaries.
Precisely what is going on.
I have addressed the women on the Hillary Clinton support team.
I know how upset they are.
I know how angry they are.
I can relate to them.
I have spoken to them about, I've let them know.
From my heart, I understand how they feel.
They feel thrown out.
They feel discarded.
After being made to feel they ran that party.
They have just been discarded.
They are fit to be tied.
They know full well Obama's not qualified to be president.
They know full well, and they're starting to ask themselves, what the hell did we ever do to warrant this kind of disrespect from the party that we saved?
Meaning the Clintons.
Here's David in Toronto, Canada.
David, nice to have you with us on the EIB network today.
Hello.
Great to be with you, Rush.
Thank you.
Uh long time listeners since 1989.
Appreciate that.
Um, what amazes me from the vantage point of uh Canada is all these people that are so angry with um with Barack Obama and the DNC.
Why aren't they angry with Hillary Clinton?
She's weighed such a lousy campaign that uh she basically had this thing won, and one folly after the next, she's she's lost it.
Well, it's an interesting question.
Do you have your own theory as to the answer?
Well, I I just think that I really think there's the the argument for entitlement is is is there.
Everybody just felt that she had it sewn up, and it's like spoiled little kids that just are stomping their feet.
True.
But why aren't they mad at her, at least in part, even a little, for running such a horrible campaign, because you're right, she has.
Well, if you go back to 2004 when Gore lost to Bush.
I mean, 2000 when he lost to Bush.
In September before the election, he was ducked by 17 points.
Why weren't they angry at Gore that he lost it?
Well, because they don't think he lost it.
Well, this is my point.
They're always looking for some other some somebody else to blame.
Obama's not to blame.
The DNC isn't to blame.
Hillary, just one step after another, has laid has waged a negative, ineffective campaign.
She she ignored the Caucuses.
She she uh she dragged out the dirt when uh when probably she didn't need to.
Um I think the Clinton magic is just off.
And uh I think you're right that uh she's lost it on her own.
I well, there's a the you there you have a uh a lot to recommend your remarks.
There's no there's no question about it.
Everything we said about her apparently has been realized.
She's not likable.
Uh she is she's not charismatic, she does look like Nurse Ratchet, she doesn't appear friendly, uh, testicle lockbox, uh, all of these things.
Now, the the the these women that support Hillary are charging all this up, uh chalking it all up sexism.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
There was a sense of entitlement, a sense of coronation.
The Clintons expected this to happen.
Uh the the coronation.
They thought it'd be over on Super Tuesday.
I don't know that they ever factored in an Obama, but when Obama came around, remember a year ago when the puff pieces on Obama started, and it was about this time that they did, uh, maybe 14 months ago.
We were so convinced that Hillary and Bill were running that whole show.
I remember I said, Yeah, don't think this Obama amounts to anything.
He's just there to sh to illustrate for people that Hillary can overcome a challenge, that she can win a fight, because they've got to make it look like she has to struggle in order to win this.
They can't make it look like the coronation that it is really slated to be.
Then something went off the tracks.
And then when Hillary look at everybody has said it for I don't know how long, the more she talks, the deeper her numbers plunge.
The higher her disapprovals go, the more she talks.
She could just shut up and just run around and just smile and so forth and not say anything, she could protect her numbers, but of course in the campaign you can't do that.
You have to speak.
As to why the women don't blame Mrs. Clinton, look, the whole feminist movement is based on entitlement.
It's based on we're a minority, we have been savaged, we've been taken advantage of, we've been taken for granted, we've been mistreated, we are owed this.
And it is apparent the Democrat Party decided that they didn't owe the Clintons anymore.
They thought it was safe, they thought they could survive by getting rid of the Clintons.
Now, Mrs. Clinton has done the best when she's done what?
When she's made herself out to be a victim, when she has been a woman, the caricature or the or the cliche of a woman when she's cried.
Remember that planted question?
How do you do it all?
How do you do your hair and your makeup and you still campaign all these hours that they still look so fresh?
It's hard.
It's hard.
I love my country.
I want to Bam, wins the New Hampshire primary.
Goes out and acts like a this made this this should have made women mad.
But here's the thing.
When she portrayed herself the victim, that's when she started succeeding.
When she became Nurse Ratchet, it all went down the tubes.
Stop and think, folks, here's the something that I think you women on the Hillary side who are understandably angry about this.
I mean, you're probably a little angry she played the victim card.
Uh that's not what feminism taught you to be the victim.
You're supposed to make victims of people.
You're supposed to make people cry.
You're supposed to make people wince in pain as you zoom past them.
Here she's out there playing the victim.
It was just demeaning.
She had to resort to being a cliched woman in order to get sympathy and so forth.
She just wasn't consistent.
But where would she have been without me?
No, seriously, I'm not I'm not asking this from a standpoint of ego.
Where would Mrs. Clinton have been without Operation Chaos?
Who was it that sustained this campaign and even gave it a shot Saturday?
Who was it that came to her rescue?
The damsel in distress didn't cost her a dime.
She had to borrow money from herself, but well, and Bill.
But who was it that sustained this campaign and made it obvious that Obama was incompetent and inexperienced and runs around with reprobates.
Operation Chaos.
Operation Chaos.
I'm not looking for gratitude.
I'm not looking for thanks.
But you women out there saying Hillary, what happened to her?
How did she get screwed?
Where would you have been without me?
And Operation Chaos.
You wouldn't have even made it to the rules and bylaws committee meeting Saturday to conduct your protests, because it would have been over long before that.
We have a little clip here of Bill Clinton in Millbank, South Dakota today.
He is campaigning at a Hillary event.
This is very, very short.
There's music under it too, but this is what he said.
I want to say also that this may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind.
I wish somebody asked Cookie if there's any applause that we we have a habit of cutting applause for the just save save time.
There was no applause.
Okay, no applause.
This may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind.
Doesn't mean that they're not going to take this to convention.
Clinton's never been involved in a convention flight.
Whenever he got there, it was all wrapped up.
So got a parse.
But he's trying to make people feel sorry.
You know, I know this guy.
He wants this audience.
By the way, I want to say that this this may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind.
You better like kill her if you want to see more of me.
Because if you don't if you don't like her, she doesn't witness, you may never see me like this again.
And he wants the audience to go, oh no.
So another uh post-surgery, post-bypass surgery moment from Bill Clinton.
And I'll back to the phones.
Lisa in Orange County, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hey.
Uh I I can't believe I'm gonna have to disagree with you this morning because you are nearly perfect in my mind.
But you mentioned that Obama uh threw the Trinity pastor and congregation and guest speakers under the bus, and I have to disagree with that because I think he uh he's created a whole new group of victims, and your your last uh comments about victims actually helps my point.
You're right.
Yeah, I mean, in a technical, you know, husband and wife sense, you're right.
Well, you know, he didn't he didn't disown them.
He's he blamed the media.
He was he got he got out of the church because everybody's harassing these great men.
That's right.
And you mentioned uh that gal Christian uh being the poster child, that Hillary uh protester in Washington.
And you're gonna you're gonna see puff pieces, and you're gonna see uh they're gonna drag out one of the um shut ins, and they're gonna be the poster child for Obama and that's it.
Doesn't matter.
You know, and you're gonna compare that person with the tyrant.
They may do all that.
Doesn't matter.
I'm telling you, he had to quit the church.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but I think he created a whole new victim group that he's gonna be.
There's there's no question, but this puts the whole lie to his race speech.
Look at this guy is setting himself up for an above the waist hard-hitting campaign like he's never seen.
Nobody is gonna have to get dirty.
There won't have to be any, you know, psychological warfare or research opposition research in this guy.
He just keeps contradicting himself.
The bottom line is he's he quit the church.
Now, I don't think he really quit the church because I don't think he can.
I think the church is Obama.
I think twenty years, the people that are there, the people that are preaching, the congregation, the people he knows, that's who he is.
And he can't change that.
But on the surface, he's quit the church, which is a major, major event.
Now they're gonna try to spin it as though he did it to save the church because everybody in there is getting beaten up and so forth.
But in in in in the parts of this country where real people live and and are not impacted greatly by the drive-by media, which is a lot part of the country, big part of the country, Jeremiah Wright will never be forgotten.
Father Flager will never be forgotten, Otis Moss won't be forgotten, none of this is gonna be forgotten.
It's gonna be forever a problem for Obama, and if they think they can sweep it away by making this church the victim.
Yeah, you know, Rush, and he won't be asked to make sense of his convoluted res resignation.
He you know, in fact, he said he can't uh disown these people.
So why leave the church?
If he's if he's so attached to them, I don't understand his resignation doesn't make sense.
Well, I yes, it does.
Well, it does in the sense that it does if you listen to my astounding In-depth and unique theory.
Once again, you're correct.
Well, would you remember what my astounding in-depth unique theory was?
Well you may not have been listening when I did this.
Which makes your calling to disagree with me even gutzier.
Well, you're you know what you are 98.9 percent.
Eight eight.
We can't lie about that.
Almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
Now look, Lisa, what happened here?
You got Jeremiah Wright.
Get all these tapes.
You got God bleep America, all of the stuff.
And it won't go away.
It just won't go away.
Yeah.
And then no the the church.
The Democrat Party, they have to know.
His church is forever now under scrutiny.
Don't turn the cameras on in there.
Don't invite some off the wall preacher in to even compound a problem.
Yet that's exactly what they did.
Right.
Except this was a Catholic priest, a white Catholic priest.
The white Catholic priest comes in.
This is a coincidence.
This would be the height of tone deaf stupidity to continue this knowing the pressure that's on Obama.
This is why I think it was planned.
I I I I agree with you there.
I think I think that they're very capable of planning something like that.
Because he needed to separate himself from the church.
Yeah.
And it's now he can do it.
But he's going to rejoin himself with the with the victims of the church now because he's going to be the savior for the shut ins, and he's going to protect America from, you know.
I mean, it I it's it it it's a perfect plan, I guess.
You're missing the point.
No, I no, I I I do get your point, though, that he the the white Catholic priest served a purpose.
I Obama doesn't want any more coverage of this church.
Obama does not want the drive-by's going out and finding shut ins, going, oh, woe is us.
It's a shame Obama had he doesn't want that.
The reason he quit the church, and the reason I think they brought in Father Flager as a white guy to go nuts, is because now Obama resigns over what a white guy said in his church, not a black guy.
That makes it even easier, and this is designed to get rid of all this.
Just get rid of it until the election's over.
Well, yeah, I I agree with that too, but I I won't be surprised if I see an ad.
I won't be surprised if I I know, I know.
I hate it that you think I'm wrong.
No, no, no.
I'm I'm laughing.
No, not I don't I'm laughing because I can't be right, no matter.
No, you are you you're you're my hero, Rush.
You really are not I love you.
Anyway, keep us informed.
All right.
And you know what?
I I can't enjoy Hillary's implosion at all because I'm so afraid of Obama.
He just makes me nervous.
That's not what I'm afraid of.
I'm afraid too, but I'm not I mean, I'm afraid of Obama, but I don't think Obama has a prayer.
Yeah, yeah, no, definitely not.
I don't think he has.
By the way, did you hear last week would you hear me do the story on um John Lott Jr. has this theory he's done some research and found out that the growth of government can be traced to when women got the vote.
I I briefly heard you, I couldn't listen because I kind of teach part-time, I teach a government economics class, but you do?
I do.
Where?
It's a private uh group, a private school.
It started out as a home school group, and then we um uh are now a private school, considered a private school.
So I do I'm doing my best to indoctrinate the next generation here, so and you're helping me out there.
I often bring my little radio to have them listen to your opening monologue.
God bless you.
You're doing you're doing the Lord's work out there.
I'm I'm trying to do my part, although my daughter said she's gonna register as an independent.
I'm like, Independent.
Okay, well we'll we'll we'll just cause they have to rebel.
Yeah.
Lisa, how old is your daughter?
She's seventeen.
Eh.
It could be worse.
Yeah, she's got a good head on her shoulders, though, but she said she wants to get into politics, perhaps, and I thought that's good, because she'll be able to do it.
Independent, she just doesn't want to have to take a stand on too many things right now, but give her time.
Yeah.
Give her time.
Well, it's a shame you didn't hear the story about the uh the growth of government being commensurate uh with uh women getting the vote, the right to vote.
Yeah, I I would have liked to have heard that.
But I try to listen as much as I can.
Well, I appreciate Lisa, thanks so much.
You're welcome.
Have a great day.
Great that you called.
The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he's proved it.
I mean, this the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote, which just proves size does matter to them.
Is happiness overrated?
That's a news story in the stack today.
As is this story from the UK telegraph, scientists revealed dangers of older fathers.
That and much more.
Straight ahead, right after this.
