Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
It's another summer spectacular from the EIB network pre-Fourth of July fireworks on tap.
Fuse lighted by me.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence and Broadcasting Network.
Here we are at the prestigious and distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies at our EIB Bunkered and Fortified Southern Command here in South Florida.
Great to have you with us, ladies and gentlemen.
Hope your weekend was everything you wanted it to be.
And more.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com, the Messiah, Barack Obama, now accusing the Republicans of race.
Anything that we say, anything we do, he's predicting that McCain, everybody else can attack him on race.
Never mind, it was the Democrat Party that made racism and sexism the hallmarks of their campaign.
This is typical.
This is this is Obama trying to shut it all down.
And it's it actually is insulting.
We'll get into details of this as the program unfolds.
Obama unveiled his own presidential seal.
He redid the presidential seal and puts it on his.
This guy's something else.
I'm telling you, the chosen one.
Tom Dashel's out there talking about him.
He is commander in chief.
You know, the puffster is one of Obama's big uh supporters, and guess what?
Dashell's up to his ears in ethanol.
He's on the board of three different ethanol companies.
And I've been wondering what in the world's Dashell supporting Obama for all this.
It's all about Dashell's in it for the personal wealth, and of course, obviously to try to uh rebuild a legacy for his failed Senate career.
Uh lots lots to do here on the program.
But first, ladies and gentlemen, I as you know, I very seldom enjoy talking about myself on this program.
I am not the topic on this program.
I am the topic in the drive-by media many times, but I try not to make myself the topic of this program.
However, there are those occasions where it is unavoidable for me to talk about me.
Now one of those uh instances has arisen last Wednesday.
Well, before I get into what happened on last Wednesday, let me just set this up.
One of the uh one of the fears that I now know is true that I have been warning you of that the Rockefeller Republican wing of the Republican Party is doing everything it can to take over to get rid of conservatism as a dominant force in the party for a whole bunch of reasons.
I mean, they're embarrassed of the pro-life community, they're embarrassed when they have to go to Republican conventions and show up at cocktail parties with uh Billy Bob and uh and Ellie May coming up from uh Mississippi and so forth.
They just because they're wives.
The guys, the Republican guys or wives, henpeck them and give them all kinds of trouble for being in the pro-life party and so forth and so on.
So the nomination of McCain here is basically an attempt to um uh rid the Republican Party of conservative influence, as you can see by McCain consistently reaching out across the aisle to independents and Democrats.
And if McCain does win, as I have told you, these Rockefeller Republican types are gonna start cheering and are gonna say, see, we don't need conservatives to win the Republican, win the presidency with the Republican Party.
We need a broad-based coalition.
We we don't Reagan wasn't even really a conservative.
There is no Reaganism, and this is this is what's uh what's at stake.
And as you remember, we've discussed this in in far greater detail, but I just wanted to set up the upcoming sound bite with that, and this sound bite proves it.
It was last Wednesday on WNYC Radio's Brian Lehrer show.
Now, I when I lived in New York and was subjected to New York cable, you know, I'd flick around and I would see Brian Lehrer on a local PBS or whatever it was.
He's a good card-carrying New York liberal, and he's uh very dull as a result.
He's very boring and very dry.
Uh, and as such is regaled as uh very intelligent.
So he had as a guest last Wednesday, the former congressman from Oklahoma, a Republican, Mickey Edwards.
What are you laughing at?
Mr. Snerdley.
You know, The it just well he is.
It's very boring, very dull, and very dry.
See, the Snerdley's laughing himself silly in there just proves that good comedy requires an element of truth.
Anyway, back to uh Mickey Edwards, a retired Congressman from uh Oklahoma.
Now, Mickey Edwards used to have a very conservative pedigree.
Mickey Edwards was one of the uh three founding duresta trustees of the Heritage Foundation, and he used to be the national chairman of the American Conservative Union.
However, when Mickey Edwards left Congress, he taught at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and the Harvard Law School for eleven years.
He's been ensconced at Harvard a long time.
He's also been one of these guys calling for a Republican Party referation, uh reformation along the lines of the other sellouts uh in uh in the party.
Uh so he gets this he starts out as a big conservative.
He was a reformed conservative, but was born in 1937.
And I you ask me what's he doing on this Brian Lehrish?
Obviously, there's been a change of hearts from the Kennedy School.
He was in Scotch there for 11 years.
So here's the question from the exciting and compelling Brian Lehrer.
People like Rush Limbaugh are out saying if McCain's elected, it's going to destroy the Republican Party, as he knows it.
What do you think will happen to the Republican Party, the idea of conservatism if McCain is elected?
Now listen to the first two sentences here.
Uh focus on those in addition to the rest of the bite.
Well, I think if McCain is is elected, it won't destroy the Republican Party.
It won't help Rush Limbaugh any, and that's probably a good thing.
You know, the fact of the matter is that the conservative base, the Republican base, is not the religious right.
It's not the neocons.
They are less than 30% of the Republicans who who go vote.
They're just the ones who are the most active take the biggest part in primaries.
I think that if McCain wins, I you know, it will be it'll probably be a good thing, but I don't for for conservatives, I don't know if it'll be a good thing for the country.
You know, I haven't decided that yet.
Did you did you catch all that?
Did you catch all that?
I don't know Mickey Edwards.
I did a Wikipedia search to find out who he was.
Uh so that's how I know.
Before that I never really heard of him.
Anyway, I think if McCain's this I'm again, this is not about me.
This is a just a buttress what I have told you that the Pooh Bahs in the Republican Party actually want.
Here is a guy saying it would be a good thing if something doesn't help me.
Here is a Republican saying it would be a good thing if there is a result that is not helpful to me.
I think if McCain's elected, it won't destroy the Republican Party, won't help Rush Limbaugh any.
That's probably a good thing.
This is a one a former trustee of the Heritage Foundation, former president of the American conservative union who's been liberalized after eleven years at Harvard.
He's still a Republican saying these things.
Then he goes on to say the conservative base is not the religious right, it's not the neocons, they're less than 30% of the Republicans who go vote.
Mickey, every president, Republican president who has won the White House, obviously, could not have done so without the so-called religious right.
There are twenty-four million of them, and they have been loyal.
And for the longest time, the Republican Party has had members who have been doing their best to impugn them and to disenfranchise them, get them out of the way, and say that they're not important.
The fact of the matter is that up till now the Republican Party base has been conservative, and it still is.
I mean, if you go back and look at McCain's primary campaign, you'll see he clearly was trying to wear the hat of uh you know Ronald Reagan warrior, Ronald Reagan inheritor.
Uh it it's they know who runs the party, but after they think they've got that group wrapped up, then it's on to their Rockefeller type roots.
Uh if McCain wins, I don't know, probably be a good thing, but I don't know if it'd be a good thing for the country.
So if McCain wins, it'd be a good thing for the Republican Party, but maybe not for the country.
He hasn't decided yet.
And this is a Republican.
So I only share this with you, ladies and gentlemen, to illustrate that these are the kind of people running the Republican Party now that are not well, not in total, but there are enough of them doing everything they can to reshape it and reform it so that the people who are the base, you and the people who have been this long embarrassment to the Rockefeller and Country Club Blue Bloods are marginalized.
Brief time out, much more straight ahead on another Rushland boss summer spectacular.
Stay with us.
Here it is, folks.
Here it is right here, the very end of the Wikipedia biography on former Oklahoma Congressman Mickey Edwards.
Edwards is married to Elizabeth Sherman, PHD, well-known Democrat political operative from Massachusetts.
Sherman directed the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts and served as a research fellow from 2001 to 2004 at the Center for Public Leadership and the Institute for Politics 1994, both at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
Well, that explains it.
There's always, there's always a woman involved in this somewhere along the way.
Here we're a good conservative guy from Oklahoma, goes to Washington, one of the original trustees, the Heritage Foundation, falls in love with some liberal babe, and that's it.
It's over.
And now he's out there giving sound bites to the exciting Brian Lehrer at uh W whatever it was, NYC Radio in New York, uh suggesting that a McCain election would harm me, and that's a good thing.
I uh I have a question.
I want to know why why am I the only guy that can run around and covort with liberal women and not lose my bearings?
They lose theirs.
When they run around with me, I do not lose my bearings.
What is it?
Don't answer that because I actually know.
But I I am I have for some reason I'm I'm immune to it.
They do.
They lose their bearings.
They get confused as hell when they're around me.
Well, that's that they dated them first.
They got married, uh, HR.
I mean, I've never married one of them.
I mean, I'm that's where I catch myself.
I'm long before that.
I mean, don't I'm sh don't even talk about marriage.
You're not talking about marriage here.
I'm just talking about general cavorting.
I look at I've told you people the story back in Kansas City when I was young and relatively innocent.
There was this uh woman that I uh saw and mutual friend knew, and uh said introduced me to her.
Fine.
Did went out to dinner.
She brought a book by Susan Brownmiller on rape.
She's a blazing feminist and just wanted to talk to me about rape and how it was a crime of violence, not sex, and so forth.
Of course, you know, I had designs here, so I'm sitting, okay, yeah, sure, sure.
Whatever she said, I agreed with.
That wasn't the point.
They want to go on a date for political lecture conversation or what have you.
After a while, she wouldn't get off the subject, so I figured the pursuit isn't worth it.
And then I started engaging her in politics.
It totally screwed her up, uh, and I was out of there.
But I, I was unaffected.
Most men just turned to linguini and in their spines anyway, and that's that.
We have one one more uh soundbite, ladies and gentlemen, involving me, and we'll be out of the way of those.
Saturday, Fox News and channel, Bulls and Bears, the host Brenda Butner is talking with Van Jones, uh the founder of something called Green for All, which is an organization promoting a green economy.
Uh Van Jones uh said this about me and the energy crisis.
Here's the problem.
The left wing had crazy solutions saying, hey, we're gonna go with corn-based ethanol.
That's gonna solve our problems.
Rush Limbaugh, I hate to admit it, had the right idea.
He said, That's not gonna work, it's gonna drive up food prices.
Now here comes the right with another set of false solutions saying, hey, let's drill, drill, drill.
We cannot drill and burn our way out of the problem.
The problem is that demand is going up, up, up.
We've got to cut demand.
You know, can I can I give you a uh by the way, the the theme of that message is I was right on ethanol, so I have to be wrong now.
You're only allowed to be right every so often with liberals.
So I used up my right quota On ethyl, but now I'm wrong about drill, drill, drill.
What do these people say when they say we've got to reduce demand?
They say we gotta stop growing.
We have to have a stagnant economy.
You know, all of this, everything.
There's a story here today, the AP.
Actually, this came out uh on on Sunday.
I saw it late Saturday night.
It's just it's just typical.
This is the Associated Press, which serves 4,000 newspapers.
They are the drive-by media, they still have a monopoly.
This is a piece by two people, Alan Fram and Eileen Putman.
Everything spinning out of control.
This is a treatise on virtually every news story and item that the drive-by media has used to try to depress you for the last six or seven years and longer.
Midwestern levees are bursting, polar bears are adrift.
They are not.
Gas prices are skyrocketing.
Home values are abysmal, not for first-time buyers, airfares, college tuition, health care, border on unaffordable.
Wars without end, rage in Iraq, Afghanistan and against terrorism.
Horatio Alger, twist in your grave.
And it goes on.
And it's this is a two-page story when you print it out.
It sets a record for concentrated, undiluted gloom and doom in one report.
And it was all over the country.
I did a search for it.
3,400 and different instances turned up in all the different newspapers that signed on to this thing on their websites anyway, Saturday night and during the day on Sunday.
It just it it it's just amazing to read this.
These people are just beside themselves.
There's nothing worth living for except.
except when you go to the second page.
American University historian Alan Lichtman notes that the U.S. has endured comparable periods and worse, including the economic stagflation and Iran hostage crisis of 1980.
The 70s, it was Mr. Fram and Ms. Putnam.
Don't leave out Carter.
1980s associated with Reagan, you see.
The dawn of the Cold War, the Korean War, the hysterical hunts for domestic communists in the late 40s and the early 50s, and the depression of the 1930s.
All these periods were followed by much more optimistic periods in which the American people had their confidence restored.
Of course, that doesn't mean it'll happen again.
And that's that's the historian Alan Lickman.
Then the authors, the writers of the story say each period was followed by a change in the party controlling the White House.
Oh.
Can I translate this two and a half or one and a half pages of drivel and bilge?
If you read this and you don't know how to read this, you're if you've never had a therapist, you're gonna call one.
I'm gonna translate what is probably here 750 to a thousand words.
Vote Obama.
That's what the whole thing adds up to.
Vote Obama.
Each period followed by a change in the party controlling the White House.
And then um it it's a couple closing paragraphs, but it's just typical of the Associated Press to try to depress people uh even more than they already are, and then do of course blame it on George W. Bush.
All of this is uh his fault and the uh and the Republicans' fault.
Now, what do you think would be going on here if gasoline were under $2 a gallon or at about $2.
Even if if gasoline were two or three dollars a gallon, the economy would be humming, would it not be?
People would have more disposable income, food would cost less, retail sales would be zooming, travel would be cheaper, employment would be up more, unemployment would be down less, and America would be happy, upbeaten on the right course, right?
Well, theoretically you would think so, but with Democrats in the drive-by media, probably not, but at least individual attitudes would be a little bit more optimistic.
We'd have a vibrant economy, great progress going on in Iraq, the left wouldn't stand a chance in 08, right?
You almost have to admire them.
For years they have blocked efforts to meet our energy needs.
Now they're running against the economic damage that they created.
Does it sound familiar?
They first dumb down education, then they count on the uneducated to believe their own BS.
I think, ladies and gentlemen, I have discovered a new political truth, and that is the greater the liberal failure, the more talking points they pile on.
I mean, they're turning out BS, barbarous dry sand faster than they can be refuted.
How many of you have heard the following?
We can't drill our way out of this.
It's going to take years for oil to come online.
It won't affect the price.
It's the fault of the speculators.
Big oil has sixty-eight million acres of leases that they're not even using.
And there's solar and wind and hydrogen and biofuel that we could be doing.
You've heard all those, right?
So the let's nuke them.
One by one when we come back.
Stay with us.
No need to think about it, ladies and gentlemen.
I do that for you.
And as an added bonus, tell you what to think.
I love tweaking the left with that.
Greetings.
And welcome back.
Great to have you here.
All right, it's the gasoline.
Uh you've heard this from the left.
It's been going on now for quite a few uh few number of weeks.
We can't drill our way out of this.
It's gonna take years to come online, it won't affect the price.
This is drilling.
Uh it's the fault of the speculators.
Big oil has sixty-eight million acres of leases are not using.
There's solar and wind and hydrogen and biofuel, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now, before we start with the point by point analysis here, let me remind you that these are the people saying all these things, who turned $2 corn into $8 corn through a series of equally wrong-minded big government schemes.
These are people who have botched practically everything they have gotten their hands on, which is what I meant was the greater the liberal failure, the more talking points they pile on, the greater the failure, the more they try to pass things off as a success.
But for the sake of it, let's go let's go ahead and dignify these talking points as if they were meant to be taken seriously.
We can't drill our way out of this as a popular refrain from all of the liberals and Democrats throughout the country.
Okay, can't drill our way out of it.
We certainly can drill our way into more supply, and more supply leads to lower prices.
This is exactly the liberals know this, which is why they're pleading and begging and threatening to sue OPAC for more drilling to help them drill our way out of it.
Uh it'll take years to come online.
You know, the next time an energy expert like Barack Obama or Chuck Schumer says this line, somebody should ask, how long is it going to take for alternative the energy to come online, Senator Obama?
How long is it going to be before we get that plug-in battery that Senator McCain wants to pay somebody $300 million to invent?
How long is it going to take for these windmills you people are building to produce anything significant?
How long's that gonna take?
The next time Senator Obama starts talking about the failed policies of the past in the context of drilling for oil, ask him, Senator, what the hell do you mean?
Do you think the discovery and use of petroleum has a failed policy of the past?
How many years until alternate energy produces and distributes the equivalent of 21 million barrels of oil a day?
They say it won't affect the price.
Okay, how much will alternative energy reduce prices?
Come on, liberal experts.
You you can you can call new oil to the day and the dollar.
How about alternative energy?
Well, look at ethanol.
We know what it's done to the price of corn.
Can we expect the same thing from any else?
Anything else that you solve?
Yes.
Anything liberals solve, the price is going to quadruple beyond what their initial projections are.
It's the fault of the speculators, they say.
Well, sure there's speculators, speculators and everything.
Speculators that prices will go up, matched by speculators that prices will go down.
The real question is are the speculators betting on supply and demand, or are they speculating that liberal energy policies will continue to drive prices higher?
Just what are these speculators speculating?
When Ahmadini Jad once again claims to blow Israel off the map, what are the speculators speculating on?
In that case, they might be specul Oh my gosh, if that happens to be an interruption over there, okay, they might be bidding in price.
When Chuck Schumer opens his mouth, when Barack Obama opens his mouth, when these people start talking about punishing big oil, raising taxes, taking their profits, what do you think they're speculating on?
The doomed future of American politics if the liberals win.
Speaking of this, we're gonna get to this in due course.
James Hansen is uh is doing an anniversary, a 20th anniversary appearance today, or sometime this week.
So today, let me see.
It is today.
James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call.
I hope I get subpoenaed.
James Hansen uh will today call for the chief executives of big oil to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way big tobacco blurred the links between smoking and cancer.
James Hansen will use the symbolically charged 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking speech to the U.S. Congress, in which he was among the first to sound the alarm over the reality of global warming to argue that radical steps need to be taken immediately if the perfect storm of irreversible climate change is not to become inevitable.
Speaking before Congress again, he will accuse the CEOs of big oil of being fully aware of the disinformation about climate change that they are spreading.
In an interview with the UK guardian, he said, when you are in that kind of position, as the CEO of one of the primary players who have been putting out misinformation even via organizations that affect what gets into school textbooks, then I think it's a crime.
Well, if that's the case, if that's the case, then the entire NEA needs to be brought up on charges.
What gets into textbooks?
A bunch of BS and lies.
But that that is not the point.
Ooh, there's that ugly dog.
That ugly dog that won the ugly dog contest is Chinese breed, three legs, one eye, is a cute little puppy.
Cute little dog.
Say it's ugly.
At any rate, I have not lost my place.
Twenty, twenty years, twenty years of fear, and he's going to come back for an encore performance today to redo it.
And now he wants these people put in jail.
This is a NASA guy who is not even allowed to comment politically, and he's not been reprimanded for it.
Even when he was part of NASA and uh and doing all this, can I tell you a little story about 20 years ago and what happened?
I have this on good authority from a uh blog, Chris Horner at CEI.org, uh, remembers a frontline, a PBS show called Frontline, in an interview with Timothy Wirth, who was Gore's buddy back then, uh, and who ran this this uh the committee where Hansen first testified.
Frontline went out and interviewed key players in the June 1988 Senate hearing at which then Senator Algore rolled out the official conversion from panic over global cooling to global warming alarmism.
Frontline interviewed Gore's colleague, then Senator Tim Wirth, who's now running Ted Turner's UN Foundation.
Uh and Worth, because it was PBS and a bunch of liberals, worth freely admitted the scheming that went into getting the dramatic shot of scientist James Hansen mopping his brow among the sweaty press corps.
And I have the transcript here.
And this is what happened.
Timothy Wirth, we knew there was this scientist at NASA, you know, who had really identified the human impact before anybody else had done so and was very certain about it, so we called him up and we asked if he would testify.
Deborah Amos, who was the reporter at here for Frontline.
Senator Timmy Tim uh Timothy Wir, one of the few politicians already concerned about global warming, and he was not above using a little stagecraft for Hanson's testimony.
Timothy Worth.
We called a weather bureau, and we found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer.
Well, it was June 6th or the 9th or whatever it was.
So we scheduled a hearing that day, and bingo, it was the hottest day on record in Washington or close to it.
Deborah Amos, PBS frontline.
Did you also alter the temperature in the hearing room that day, Timothy Wirth?
What we did is we went in the night before, we opened all the windows, I'll admit, so that the air conditioning wasn't working inside the room.
And so when the when the hearing occurred, there was not only bliss, which is television cameras and double figures, but it was really hot.
Dr. Hanson, if you'd start us off, we'd appreciate it.
And then Hanson was wiping his brow at the table at the hearing, the witness table giving us remarkable testimony, with him sweating, everybody in a room was sweating profusely because they had they had turned off the uh air conditioning.
And so they used stagecraft to set all this up.
Now, aside from the theatrics and so forth, stop and think of this.
Wants to put big oil guys on trial and put them in jail for lying.
This is here's here's this.
It is an insult.
I mean, if anybody's gonna get sued, brought on trial, brought up on charges thrown in jail, why not me?
Nobody knows the names of these big oil guys.
Big oil guys supposed to have been lying about this for twenty years.
I have been telling the truth about it for twenty years, which Hanson says is a lie.
Come on, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hanson, whoever going after big oil.
They have if that I mean I have been doing more to get the truth out about global warming than anybody at big oil.
They're a bunch of cowards.
They're running around funding all these alternative research projects, and they're showing up just it was just recently that they finally got some gonads before Congress in these hearings.
Come on, Dr. Hanson, be a man about this.
Go after the real enemy, me.
Those guys, they haven't done convinced anybody of anything.
They're just running around, you know, making their excess uh windfall profits.
But I'm I'm the guy you really got to worry about in terms of dealing with the American people and public opinion on this.
Come on, Mr. Hanson, come after me.
That's right.
If if he's if he's gonna put the big oil CEOs on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, of actively spreading doubt about global warming.
I mean, who's better who who is the most qualified in this country to be put on trial for that?
Me.
I just I uh I just what what was it?
Say that again.
Well, I well, I was uh the snerdly is right.
Excuse me, just Brad, there really is a problem here on the IFB.
It's it's it's the volume's so low, and that's why I had to ask him to repeat what I'm saying.
Maybe we're gonna have to look into it before the program ends in terms of fixing it.
Yeah.
Um that's right, Snurley.
I I almost was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for telling the truth about this stuff, but I lost out to a truth denier.
Al Gore.
Call us deniers.
At any rate, back to the phones or to the phones, because we haven't been there yet.
We'll start with Judy in Massalon, Ohio.
Hi, Judy, I'm glad you called.
Hi, Rush.
It's very great to talk to you.
Um you're so on with everything.
We had yesterday a terrible day reading the first page of the plant repository.
We get that only on Sunday, thank heaven, and we've just canceled it this morning.
Absolutely preposterous article.
Uh and uh I we were just furious about it, and I was so happy to hear you carrying on about it today because I I can't believe that anybody in our country today isn't just thrilled to be here.
It just blows your mind.
Absolutely unbelievable.
You know, it's a it's it's a tough gauge.
One of the um what the one things that happened over the weekend, I was getting ready to come back to work here after uh three days of blissful vegging.
And I was going through some of these things, and I ran across the story that Obama is gonna sit out there and he's already accusing the Republicans of um of using race to criticize him to attack him and so forth.
Right.
And I I I got to thinking, you know, here they go.
We always end up on the defensive.
So now we have a bunch of people who have to run around and say, no, no, no, we're not racist, we're not gonna do no matter what it is, the liberals are always on offense and setting the agenda and causing us to respond to it.
It's the same thing with this story.
This story is nothing but doom and gloom.
And when you when you read this story, let me ask you a question about this, Judy.
When you read this story, did you at any time consider my gosh, there are people in this country who are going to believe this?
Well, I know people that would believe this that that are doom and gloom, and and it it's that's demanding part is that there absolutely are people like this, and and you're gonna have those people everywhere, but uh and and we live in what they like to call the rough belt, which is not really the rock dealt, but I mean it just case in point.
Uh over Easter vacation, we took a family vacation.
My daughter-in-law wanted to buy the new wee game, which cost almost three hundred dollars.
We had to hunt, I mean, literally hunt in three different states because we were in Florida, they were up here, we looked all over.
You couldn't buy it.
My son finally rushed over to a store that said they would hold it for him.
But this is how bad off our country is that a three hundred dollar game is Unavailable.
Right.
Well, I mean, not just available, but the people people are grabbing them up the minute they come on the market.
I mean, but yeah, don't tell me that people can't feed their families and they can't do this and they can't people do what they're going to do.
And it's just we are so well off in our country that it it's it's just unfadimable.
And you know what?
By any comparison, and despite all this that's going on, the uh opportunity uh for an improved future is still there as much as it ever was.
So many people in this country, the left uh liberals have for so many years found problems with the affluence and the greatness of this country, and they've been doing everything they can to tear down the image of this country in the minds of as uh as many people as possible, and they have uh, as the AP story illustrates, willing accomplices in the media who are ready to do it.
I mean, you folks, the Democrat Party right now in this election cycle want you hurting.
They want you suffering.
They want gasoline prices to continue to rise.
They want the price of food to continue to rise.
They want you mad as hell at the Republicans for it.
They want you to accept government-sponsored changes to so-called fix all this, as articulated by Obama.
Uh it's a cliche, but it's true.
What's bad for America happens to be good for the Democrats, and vice versa.
Kathy in Fort Worth, Texas, you are next.
Hello.
I want to know how the Republicans don't need Christians and conservatives, and they think we're 30%.
Um black people in the population, ten percent they claim homosexuals in the hot population.
Rush, honey, when is 30 percent get to be a small number?
Yeah, I don't I think it's actually larger than 30 percent.
But let me see if I can get your question right.
You want to know why the Republicans are willing to say, screw you to 30 percent or more of their voters, and yet Democrats will bend over, grab the ankle, say, have your way with me for ten percent and two percent of the population.
Uh delicately, yes.
Well, I nothing delicate about me on these uh on these matters.
These are just uh innocent figures of speech.
I understand that I was using.
There is an answer to your quite basic question is why don't the Democrats say the hell with you, you wacko nuts in the base, uh, like Republicans do.
Mm-hmm.
The um there's a it's a complicated answer to this, and I'm gonna have to answer some of it in the monologue in the next hour.
But one of the simple answers that will require some elaboration is that a lot of money is coming from these kooks.
And I'm not talking about just the blacks, I'm talking the whole kook fringe base because George Soros is running it and they need the money.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
