Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, this is some things here, folks, that are just unbelievable that are happening out there that have just left the world stunned.
The Chicoms are being accused of lying about the age of their gymnasts.
And Russia is accused of lying about the ceasefire.
In uh in in Georgia.
Well, what's stunning about this is it is that communists lie.
When did that start?
When, when did we uh I'm trying to figure out when did it start that communists lie?
I'm being facetious, Mr. Snerdley.
The question is since the Russians are lying, and since the Chicoms are lying, the real question from the Obama camp is what is America doing to cause this?
What have we done to bring about all of this lying?
You know, a country's not what it once was, ladies and gentlemen.
What's happened to us?
The Chinese and the Russians are now lying.
Somebody better get hold of the governor of Virginia, Tim Kane, the eyebrow, and let him know that Obama needs to repeat his demand that the Russians cease their advance in Georgia because the Russians they said that they were going to stop and they kept going.
And so we're we're really, we're really condemning now.
We're gonna send Connellisa Rice to Paris.
That's how serious we are about this.
We're gonna send her over there to talk with the frogs about making sure this ceasefire gets done.
But it's tight, I think Obama needs to meet a blanket apology here, folks, for America.
Uh I mean, the Chikoms don't normally lie, and they're lying about the age of their gymnasts and so forth, they're lying about the number of people going to the games.
They can't get people in there.
You know, they're they're they they've got they actually they they well, they could, but they're not using the kind of force communists are known for.
But the games are not attracting crowds, and even the big space in Beijing where the games are taking place, they thought it'd be overrun with people, there are hardly anybody there.
You know, the ChICOMs made it very clear that if you showed up, you were a suspect of something, and they're going to treat you as such, and people say, okay, the hell with it.
Uh so anyway, maybe maybe what Obama, we haven't talked to the Chinese enough, we haven't talked to the Russians enough.
Uh, and the Bush administration's uh hard-nosed policy here is causing both of these uh people to lie, just like we've made uh Mahmoud Ahmadini's odd uh uh a liar about his uh nuclear program to produce electricity and so forth.
Uh so that's it's a big question that uh that we face.
By the way, coming up later in the program, I don't know if you saw this, folks.
I am outraged, and I know the Obama camp has got to be twice as angry as I am about this, and I am waiting for them to weigh in on it.
If they don't, I'm gonna do it for them.
Did you see what Michael Phelps eats every day?
He swims five hours a day, he sleeps, he swims, and he eats.
He eats twelve thousand calories a day.
He has three fried egg sandwiches for breakfast, thousand calories of energy drinks, couple cups of coffee, three pancakes, and that's just for starters.
He has a pound of pasta at lunch and dinner.
Now, this guy, you know, we are three percent of the world's population.
They say we're using 25% of the world's energy.
This guy is re more than his share.
Now, I know he's a big producer, but he's using far more than his share.
Look at the little Chinese gymnasts.
You know, a couple of rice cakes every day, and they get and they get in the Olympics, too.
This is out of proportion, folks.
This is America at its gluttonous worst.
And this is gonna have to be dealt.
We're causing the Chinese and the and and and the Russians to lie, and now look at this guy, Phelps.
I don't tell me about all the medals.
This guy is just a glutton.
He's an absolute glutton.
He doesn't care for the rest of the planet, he doesn't care for the poor starving Chinese people.
He's eaten everything he can find over there, and he's getting all these medals because of it.
I know big producers require a lot of energy, but it isn't fair.
And think of the carbon footprint just to feed this guy.
He's a one-man global warming machine, disguised here as some great Olympic athlete.
I know the Obama camp agrees with me on this, as does uh much of the left.
Okay, folks, welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, as you know.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 if you'd like to join us if you want to go the email route.
Ill Rushmow at EIB net.com.
I say it, they do it.
I predict it.
They make it happen.
Yesterday on this program, ladies and gentlemen, I suggested, as I said, mark my words, the latest in this Georgia situation, we are going to be blamed.
The Libs are going to draw a moral equivalence between Georgia and Iraq, and they are going to say, how can we criticize what the Russians have done in Georgia after what we did in Iraq?
Let's go to the audio sound by starting at number two, Ed.
This is Fox News Channel's Your World with Neil Cavuto.
He spoke with Obama supporter Mike Pampantonio.
And Cavuto said, this is a softball set.
This I knew I know this question, Cavuto had to be getting, wanting this answer.
Vladimir Putin invaded another country and kept his soldiers there.
Does that reek of the cold war to you again?
You know what's out there today?
How dare you criticize us when you took unilateral approach to Iraq?
That's we knew they were going to say that when McCain came out with his Rambo language.
It's a problem for McCain in the long run, I think.
It's a problem for McCain.
If you look at the three people who have spoken about this, McCain had a statement yesterday.
I have the text of this statement.
I'm going to share it with you as the program unfolds today.
McCain's the only guy.
He's been there.
He's been to Georgia a number of times.
He gave a brief history lesson of Georgia.
He was doing a town hall appearance yesterday.
He's the only guy...
Well, he between he and Obama, it's not a contest.
Obama, I don't think, knows where Georgia is on the map.
He'd probably say, Obama, where'd Georgia?
He'd look for Atlanta.
And he said, it's right there.
It's where Dr. King's church is.
At any rate, uh, ladies and gentlemen, so here we come.
The United States is to blame.
We we can't criticize this.
We can't criticize naked aggression.
We cannot.
We cannot.
If a if a if a sovereign nation with a duly elected leadership gets overrun by uh by the Russian bear, hey, hey, we have we can't say a word.
Look at what we did in Iraq.
Now, uh, ladies and gentlemen, a quick question.
Did the Russians go to the UN Security Council and show where the Georgians had violated 14 resolutions?
Did they spend a year and a half jawboning with the French and others to try to get us some assistance so that uh uh we could go in and enforce UN resolutions that uh Saddam Hussein had broken, or that the Georgians of this case?
No.
There is no parallel whatsoever.
There's no moral equivalence, but leave it to the blame America first left to come up with it.
And last night on the on America's home of communism, you almost have to say that.
I know it's a l it it may be a little bold, but right at America's Home of Communism on PBS, on the Charlie Rose show, he interviewed Vitali Chirkin.
Do you remember Vitali Chirkin?
Let me I would tell you a funny little story about Vitali Chirkin.
I have interviewed Vitali Churkin back in the 80s, during the uh the uh Reagan administration with all this Glasnost and Perestroika and the and the and the dying Russian premieres and Reagan refusing to meet and so forth, Vitali Chirkin was a regular on nightline.
And he spoke perfect English, and he was treated by the U.S. media as the smartest man in America.
He was he was uh an attache, was obviously KGB, but I mean I even asked if he was KGB, and he started chuckling at me.
I interviewed him uh in Sacra in in Washington when I worked in Sacramento.
They they uh set it up with the with the Russian embassy where he uh where he worked.
And I I actually, folks, you're gonna think I'm nuts or crazier than already am.
I'm in my hotel room.
I'm staying at the Mayflower, and I'm in my hotel room the night before, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking the room's bugged by the Russians since they got this guy coming on my show.
And I wonder if I started talking to the bugs.
I said, Churkin, don't chicken out.
Please show up.
It was fun.
Anyway, Vitaly Chirkin has survived everything that's gone on over there.
Vitaly Chirkin has survived Yeltsin.
He has survived Putin, he has survived medium.
He's he's in fact, the very fact that Russia hasn't changed much to me is proven by the fact that Vitali Chirkin's still around doing everything he's been doing since the eighties.
I asked him when I interviewed him, I said, Vitali, where do you where do you live?
I live out in Arlington with the natives.
I said, You're kidding.
Are you KGB?
And he just started laughing when he started defending the Committee for uh State Security, which is what KGB stands for.
Anyway, he was on Charlie Rose last night.
And just as I predicted about the American left, a leftist is a leftist and Turkin is a leftist.
And so Charlie Rose said, well, they have this exchange.
We've got Rose on the tape on this, so they have this exchange about the um uh whole situation.
Churkin, now, by the way, permanent representative.
Uh, that's ambassador of the Russian Federation.
Some will argue that this is about regime change.
This is a Russian effort to change the regime in Georgia.
Because they want somebody a little bit more open to the Russian positions.
You know, we we are not about changing regimes.
Some other countries have invented this uh saying, uh, you know, removing people, uh, putting people uh in office and in palaces.
We we don't do that.
So even the Russians say, hey, don't talk to us.
We don't do regime change like you do.
We don't throw people out of office.
No, you just kill them.
You poison them with radioactive polonium.
You wipe out.
I'm sorry for laughing at folk.
Sometimes all you can do is laugh at this.
They did, they made it clear they want Shakashvili out.
They did but but they're saying they're not going to go kill him.
But they clearly want Rush, they want him out of office.
They want him in exile.
They want him, they want him out of power.
There's no question.
But again, Turk and Lod, uh Russians are lying.
It's our fault.
What have we done to so destabilize the world?
By the way, we have a statement from Vladimir Putin exclusively for you and the EIB network audience.
Now from Putin New Services, Moscow.
A statement from his Excellency Vladimir Putin.
Today we have agreed to ceasefire after running out of things to shoot at in the renegade outlaw state of Georgia.
Georgia has continually threatened our motherland, forcing us to take steps to stop their regression.
Sure, on the map, they look pretty small compared to Russia.
But we can't take any chances.
And I haven't had this much fun since I sent that soup to the president of Ukraine.
I want to thank Barack Obama for suggesting the ceasefire.
What a great idea.
I look forward to us working closely together after the election.
Yours truly, Vladimir.
Vladimir.
Vladimir.
Talent on loan from God.
I am Rush Limboy, your guiding light.
You know, it is really great.
We've got audio sound by here coming up from Dimitri Symes of the uh the Nixon Center.
Yeah, this is this is uh this is really great.
All these guys from the 80s, they're always on television are coming back.
Vitali Chirkin, Dmitry Symes, all of the all the Soviet experts are now being dusted off and brought back from the basements of these think tanks.
It's history, it's repeating itself.
By the way, how many of you people, you in Los Angeles will know this guy, Robert Scheer.
So insane as uh as an op-ed columns, the LA Times finally had to throw him under the bus.
He was even too radical.
He's got a piece out, he's now syndicated by uh the creator syndicate.
And his piece today is that this whole war in Georgia has been drummed up by lobbyists working for McCain and the neocons to get a war going during the this is the October surprise in August to get a war going involving the Russians so as to help McCain in the campaign and play off the presumed weaknesses of Obama when it comes to the military and foreign policy.
I kid you not.
Let me read just a little excerpt here.
Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August?
And in the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival, the garbage issue.
The guard see it in these in Sheer's mind, Have you noticed how many people are happy at the Chinese looking so good in the Olympics in the media?
Have you noticed how many people happy the Russians are now coming back and reclaiming have you noticed it, folks?
Have you noticed the communists are on the march and the drive-by media is excited by this?
And this guy sheer is is nuts.
He's sick.
The garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear.
Is it possible this was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?
Before you dismiss that possibility, consider the role of one Randy Scheineman, uh for four years a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government, ending his official lobbying connection only in March, months after he became John McCain's senior foreign policy advisor.
So a uh uh lobbyist for the Georgian government quits, joins the McCain campaign, all of a sudden we got war.
Also the Russians, this guy found a way for the Russians to overreact to Georgia's little moves into South Ossessia and the Russians moving.
The Russia have been planning this for a long time.
This is a setup.
The McCain cam and neocons working with Bush planned this whole little excursion in order to boost McCain's chances in the election.
And this guy, by the way, this is not an isolated view.
This is now going to be picked up, and there are probably more insane things than this that are brewing out there in the left blogosphere to explain all that.
Now here is Dmitry Simes.
Now, Demetri Simes a good guy.
Don't misunderstand here.
I love Dmitry Simes.
If you're if you're old enough, you'll probably remember him being on the McNeil Larry News Hour a lot, nightline a lot.
Uh yeah, I loved the guy.
I loved hearing him speak, uh, as you will hear him speak, and I love the way he pronounced President Bush Bush 41, is the Bush he was always commenting on.
Bush.
Anyway, he's uh he's he's also on uh the PB of the news hour with Jim Larrell last night, uh, and he's from the Nixon Center.
And this is what Dmitry Simes says about re uh Russia invasion of Georgia.
This is not black and white.
There are no good guys in this situation.
And we have to be very careful not to allow to have a situation like with Iraq.
When we don't care about its effects, when we say Saddam Hussein is a tyrant, and then it doesn't matter.
Are there weapons of mass destruction?
Is he supporting terrorists?
These things are very important.
All right, so uh what the the the the what is it, the the mantra now, the uh the narrative, the template that hey, we have no room to talk here.
Because look what we did in Iraq.
And facts didn't matter in Iraq.
There weren't any weapons of mass destruction, and Saddam wasn't helping terrorists, and we went in there anyway, we need a regime change.
We have nothing to say to Vladimir Putin about what he we have no moral authority whatsoever.
This seems to be the pattern here.
Uh then let's go to Richard Holbrook, who has who has just this guy has craved, he has coveted Secretary of State in every presidential election since 1996.
Co-host Margaret Warner talking to Holbrook, and uh she said, Do you think that there's been a rush to judgment in the West here about Russia being the bad guy and Georgia being the good guy victim?
Quite the contrary.
The Russians have succeeded in disseminating confusion about what happened.
The Bush administration's response here has been wholly inadequate until today.
Oh, ten years ago there was a similar crisis between Russia and Georgia over the two enclaves.
President Clinton dispatched the deputy secretary of state, Strobe Talbot, who was also well known as one of his closest friends, who shuttled back and forth between Moscow and Tbilisi, who calmed it down and resolved it for the time being.
This time around, this administration sent no one to Moscow.
It was Sarkozy who did the good job today.
Oh, okay, now it gets even thicker.
The plot thickens.
Now we get on the official home of liberalism and communism in American media PBS, Richard Allbrook saying if only Clinton were still president with Strob Talbot going over to Moscow.
Nothing good happened until Sarkozy went there.
Hey, I'm not buying any of this.
The uh the Clinton administration did not take on any major initiatives.
They were afraid of harming their precious little approval rating and so forth.
I I guess I guess uh uh Clinton's efforts here, as described by Richard Holbrook to make sure that uh violence did not break up between Russia and Georgia.
That happened at the same time that uh that Clinton was uh devoting every ounce of his energy to getting bin Laden, right?
That's right.
Uh I I never work harder on anything in my life and get bin Laden.
And then when they gave him to me, I said, Well, I don't have any legal basis.
I hold the guy I had to let him go.
But I still I kept trying to get him.
I stopped I bombed those janitors over there Saturday night in Baghdad.
I did everything I could, but I I didn't know the Afghanistan did.
But I stopped that thing from breaking out over there.
I sure did.
Holebrooks right about that.
So you you can see how this is shaping on the U.S. is it is it's just utterly predictable.
It is utterly predictable that in the drive-by media, it's all our fault.
And if we only had Bill Clinton back.
You know, ladies and gentlemen, several of my 35 undeniable truths of life apply to events today.
One of them.
One of them in particular.
Undeniable truth of life.
Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
It is, there is no alternative and no mistaking it.
It is totally true.
You know, world citizen Barack Obama can sit there and talk all he wants and blame America and think it's going to shape the world up and stop these kinds of things that he's dead wrong.
Interestingly, the uh the UK Guardian, which is a very leftist publication, has an entirely different take on what happened with Russia and Georgia, and who's who bears some responsibility for it.
And everybody plays blame games in in situations like this.
For example, Obama and the Democrats blame Bush.
Uh some of them blame uh uh McCain uh for starting this war to help his election.
I'm not kidding you, but it's all our fault.
It's America's fault.
And really, if it's anybody's fault, it's Russia's.
Or as Dimitri Syme says, there are no good guys here, that both these parties behaved in provocative ways.
And of course, Georgia being the smaller is going to take it on the chin.
But the UK Guardian has another take on this.
Let's go back to the April 3rd edition of the New York Times dateline here, Bucharest, Romania.
President Bush threw the NATO summit meeting here off script on Wednesday by lobbying hard to extend membership to Ukraine and Georgia.
But he failed to rally support for the move among key allies.
Mr. Bush's position that Ukraine and Georgia should be welcomed into uh a membership action plan or map that prepares nations for NATO membership directly contradicted German and French government positions stated earlier this week.
So Bush went on an a limb and said we need to get these people started down the path toward membership in NATO.
Speaking of Ukraine and Georgia.
Now the Guardian yesterday, Michael Williams, the story, basically says in April this year, an embattled American president went to the NATO summit in Bucharest, asked NATO allies to offer Ukraine and Georgia a membership action plan.
Bush had been warned that European allies would not agree to the proposal, but he tried it anyway.
Back in Washington, European rejection of the map was greeted with disgust, as one left-wing foreign policy expert told me the fact that France was talking about a balance of power with Eastern Europe illustrated that the organization was becoming a joke.
The Europeans, he said, have not woken up to the realities of the world.
He was livid, to say the least, about the refusal to offer a map to either country.
And he, like myself, writes, Mr. Michael Williams was a Democrat.
This I'll summarize the story for you in The Guardian.
It is the very countries that the acting president Barack Obama wants us to give veto power over our decisions, as they vetoed Georgia's NATO membership.
And the UK Guardian proffers the point that this encouraged Putin and the Russians that they could attack Georgia with impunity.
Once European the point of the uh the UK Guardian story is that old Europe has a hand in this too.
So there are there's a lot of different uh analyses of all this going, but no matter.
When you get down to the bottom line, the Russians are behaving as the Russians always have.
And they're the ones taking the action.
This is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
Now let's go back to audio tape from yesterday on the Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, Gretchen Carlson talking to the eyebrow, the governor of Virginia, Tim Cain.
And she asked him, how how would you be advising Obama if in fact you were his pick as VP with this international crisis?
Do you think his response was the right one?
It was a bad crisis for the world.
It required tough words, but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in.
And I'm very, very happy that the Senator's request for a ceasefire has been complied with.
Somebody needs to tell the eyebrow that there is the well, there might be the ceasefire, but it's not been upheld.
It's the Russians are continuing to move and they're they're surrounded, they have at least last I heard of surrounded the town of Gory, which is that not aptly named uh given what's going on.
So they haven't stopped.
They didn't listen to Obama.
So it's time for Obama to either, you know, tell them again to stop, you know, once once he gets off the surfboard out there in Hawaii, tell them again to stop, because they they apparently didn't listen the first time.
Here's McCain yesterday speaking with reporters.
I know from speaking this morning to the president of Georgia, Misha Shakashvili, who I have known for many years, that he knows that the thoughts and the prayers and support of the American people are with that brave little nation as they struggle today for their freedom and independence.
I know I speak for every American when I say to him, today we are all Georgians.
All right.
All right.
Now that didn't sit well.
That did not sit well with members of the left.
Here it Tim Tim Kane, nobody is talking about Oplama Obama's diplomacy in Georgia now.
Nobody's talking about it except you.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Late yesterday, the president of Georgia, Misha Saakashvili said this.
John McKinney.
John McKenna said what Americans are supporting Georgia.
We uh Georgians today.
Everybody had dug yesterday.
Did not quote Obama Tim Cain.
The eyebrow needs to revisit this.
Misha Sakashvili quoted McCain, not Obama.
Now, Sakashvili made his appearances on American television today, was on CNN's American morning today, and he had this to say about what America should do.
What America should do now, first of all, clearly make known their intentions, and we know that they're considering all kinds of different options, then it's clearly send peacekeepers on the ground, secure a lifeline, at least for the capital at this stage, and push very hard to overcome the situation.
Who else can stand up for liberty in the world?
That, folks, is the question of the day.
And it is a question the American left does not want to hear.
They don't want the responsibility.
Who else can stand up for liberty in the world?
No one else but us.
Europeans aren't gonna do it.
NATO isn't gonna do it.
And if you listen to the Democrats and their presidential candidate, you don't you don't get any confidence they're gonna do anything but give those kinds of people veto power over whatever decisions we might make.
Then Misha Saakashvili said this about the Russians.
Well, the implications are and uh that the Russians are encroaching upon the Capitol.
Uh they're making a circle, and they're rushing, you know, because their plan was always to take over the whole Georgia.
Their plan was to uh establish their own government in Tbilisi, and uh their plan was to kill uh the our democracy.
And uh that's that they are in the process of cold-blooded murder, and uh the world seems to just be watching on it, you know and uh not doing anything about it.
Pretty much the case.
Nobody's doing much of anything about it.
Nobody's done much about any of the wanton acts of violence of the Putin regime from the murdering of KGB agents in London who go off path to journalists that are being murdered and assassinated and poisoned.
Uh nobody's nobody's doing it.
What what what do you expect Putin to do?
He's he's he's he's getting away with all these things with impunity.
He knows.
He knows while the Olympics are going.
He knows while we're in the middle of a presidential campaign, he knows while we're fighting a war in Afghanistan that there's not a whole lot we can do militarily, or he doesn't think that we will, but I'll tell you, Bush spoke again today.
And it sounded to me like Bush was throwing down the gauntlet.
I want you to listen to a couple of sound bites we have of the president from the uh Rose Garden this afternoon, this morning.
We insist that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected.
Russia has stated that changing the governor of Georgia is not its goal.
The United States and the world expect Russia to honor that commitment.
Russia has also stated that it has halted military operations and agreed to a provisional ceasefire.
Fortunately, we're receiving reports of Russian actions that are inconsistent with these statements.
And the president continued.
I'm sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to France, where she will confer with President Sarkozy.
She will then travel to Tbilisi, where she will personally convey America's unwavering support for Georgia's democratic government.
On this trip, she will continue our efforts to rally the free world in the defense of a free Georgia.
Also directed Secretary of Defense Bob Gates to begin a humanitarian mission to the people of Georgia headed by the United States military.
This mission will be vigorous and ongoing.
You see why it sounds to me that he's throwing down the gauntlet.
We're going to use the military ostensibly here for meals on wheels.
We're sending in food and relief efforts, medical supplies, and this sort of thing.
There have been significant civilian casualties and deaths uh in in Georgia and the neighboring environs.
And so the U.S. military we're flying C seventeens and all in there, and we've told the Russians we're coming, and you better not do anything about it.
But the Russians are going to be saying, Wait a minute, you're sending military in.
They're gonna be uniform military from the United States flying in here on meals on wheels.
Now I know the Russians, and the Russians aren't going to buy this meals on wheels thing.
They're not guarantee, they don't use their military that way, and they don't think we'll use ours that way against them back in just a second.
And we're back.
Hey, folks, the first polls are in.
And the earlier numbers uh eighty-two percent of the American people wish that Russia had not invaded Georgia.
Another poll, eighty-four percent of the American people prefer lower gasoline prices.
Latest uh that's it.
In the in the real world we have dreams.
In the real world we have wishes.
And in the real world we have problems that uh have to be solved.
Two more sound bites and then to the phones.
Yesterday during an interview with a public radio station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
We own Harrisburg, so probably very few people heard this on the PBS station there.
Here's a portion of what Senator McCain said.
I think it's very clear that Russian ambitions are to restore the old Russian Empire.
Not the Soviet Union, but the Russian Empire.
Well, this is not sitting well with the American left and with the Obama campaign last night on Hardball.
They actually took some time off from covering the tertiary uh Olympic events that nobody cares about, putting on an NBC M S NBC, and they went to hardball.
And they had affiliated host out there, David Schuster.
He talked to Obama a foreign policy advisor Susan Rice.
And the question was this would would the campaign support imposing economic sanctions on Russia, as some Republicans are calling for?
By reviewing all aspects of our bilateral relationship with Russia, as Senator Obama has advocated, we'll be able to take account of what steps are appropriate.
But here's the thing, David.
We cannot shoot from the hip.
We cannot act on the basis of ideology or preconceived notions.
When this crisis began, Barack Obama, uh, the administration indeed, and all of our NATO allies took a very measured and reasoned approach because we were dealing with the facts as we knew them.
John McCain shot from the hip, very aggressive, very belligerent statement, and he may or may not have complicated the situation.
McCain's made the situation worse.
This is the American left.
Obama calmed the situation by saying both sides are to blame and asking them to stop.
But McCain may have complicated the situation.
Barack Sting is actually right.
Barack Sting, according to his own advisor here, we're gonna look at everything, and then we're not gonna do anything.
We're gonna wait till we have all the facts, and we're gonna take into account what steps are appropriate.
We're not gonna do diddly squat about this until we get all the facts.
Unable to recognize naked aggression, the Obama campaign uh is you know, now blaming I'm telling you, I told you all this gonna happen yesterday.
You didn't believe me, did you did not believe it can get this bad?
And I I I told you, okay, Andre in New York City, you're first on the EIB network server today.
Great to have you with us.
Yes, how are you, Amiga?
Thank you.
Listen, listen to me, Rush.
Instead of advising Russia on what to do, you should advise grounds from American Congress, Senate, U.S. administration, tell them what to run around the world now that they got stuck in the tiny turtle of nations that they starved to death.
They're coming to Russia, crying with tears, uh trying to uh uh convince people of Russia to send their children, constantly referring to 3,000 dead in America, over 1,400 people were murdered by dictatorship in Georgia, sponsored, supported by the United States.
Do you spit into the faces of Russian America?
Hey, hey, Andre, hang on Andre, hang on just a second.
Okay, go ahead.
Uh thank you.
Uh my on my hearing is such I'm having to read what you're saying.
Uh don't stop drugs.
No, no, no.
No, it's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
I'm just I'm uh did you say that Georgia uh murdered is a dictatorship that murdered over fourteen hundred people?
Would you would you disprove it?
Would you uh disagree with it?
Uh I'm asking you.
I've this is the second.
