Rushlin Ball, the EIB Network at live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
They're all telling me, don't say it.
800 282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
If you're just joining us, ladies and gentlemen, we have learned that uh a surprise name has uh been uh uh learned uh top of the ticket, top of the list for uh Obama's number two Chet Edwards personal choice of Nancy Pelosi as she uh announced it on the August 3rd edition of George Stephanopoulos' Sunday show on ABC,
but we've also more importantly than that, we have learned that Obama did not even consider Hillary Clinton, did not have one conversation with her.
They did not do any investigation of who might the donors be at the Clinton library and massage parlor.
It appears there's no way, the absolutely no way, and and I think you know this is um you gotta you gotta figure the Obama people have got to uh understand here that this this is a huge sign of disrespect the biggest example of disrespect the Democrat Party, anybody in the Democrat Party has shown the Clintons ever.
They didn't even make a show out of considering her.
And apparently Pelosi has a lot of sway here because you know she kept the superdelegates in line during the late stages of the primaries, kept them from uh abandoning Obama as Hillary was going through uh this uh resurge of hers that was that was working thanks to Operation Chaos, among other things.
Oh, and speaking of that, Rasmussen reports indicates that Democrat voter registration in July down two percent from uh April and May.
So that means the uh Operation Chaos troops are rotating back home to the Republican Party after their tour during the Democrat primaries.
There's a lot happening out there.
And the uh the the women that support Hillary when when they learn how she has been disrespected, it's gonna be fascinating to watch what they do.
And it's also Mrs. Clinton, you know, she's not done anything for Obama at all in terms of campaign season, but one appearance, I think, and maybe this is why.
Now, who is this Chet Edwards guy?
We got to look at his voting record here, some key votes that Chet Edwards has made.
And if he is the surprise pick, it will tell us how rattled the Obama team is about the liberalism issue.
Here are key votes from Chet Edwards on the estate tax repeal, he voted yes.
To limit cafe standards, he voted yes.
Fiscal year 06 spending curve, he voted no, drilling and an war, he voted yes.
Limit interstate abortion, he voted yes, extend the Patriot Act, he voted yes.
Ban same-sex marriage, he voted yes.
Stem cell research dollars, he voted yes.
Build a border fence, he voted yes.
Kafta, he voted no.
That's the Columbia Free Trade, that's Pelosi.
Uh oppose Iraq withdrawal.
He voted yes, detainee tribunals at Club Gitmo.
He voted yes.
This is about as incompatible in terms of a voting record vice presidential pick that Pelosi and Obama could end up with.
And if you missed the first hour, Obama yesterday after the cameras had been torn down.
After the cameras were all gone.
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics.
Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure.
Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly the superior to us now.
Which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.
This is a political moron.
This is you don't say this.
Even if you think this, you don't say it.
Yeah, if you like child labor laws, if you like slum housing, if you like cheaply built housing that will not stand a category three earthquake, if you like people being kicked out of their houses to build these little I candy Olympic venues for television, and if you like forced labor, if you like the one child per family policy well, then you I guess you would like China.
But to sit there and put China ahead of your own country and try to make people they think they care more about their people than Bush cares about us, because look at all the money.
Hey, Obama, let me tell you something, sir.
George Bush has done more for the people of Africa than you have done combined for all of your half siblings that live there.
The least among us, sir.
By the way, you know who runs the ports in Hong Kong?
And in China?
Who do you think runs the ports?
That's right.
A whole bunch of those fabulous Chikom ports is run by Dubai Ports World.
Based in Hong Kong, the Asia Pacific regional headquarters is responsible for all existing operations and development throughout the region.
Uniquely, it has uh responsibility for three logistics centered in Hong Kong, Yankee and Shanghai.
Dubai Ports World runs the ports that Obama praises in China.
Oh, and one more.
You need to hear this if you didn't hear this.
This is Obama yesterday in Lynchburg, Virginia.
This is audio soundbite number two, Mike.
You're looking for audio soundbite number two.
We've got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies that they can't charge into other countries with impunity.
Of course, it helps if we are leading by example on that front.
Once again, the political neophyte man child moron, Barack Obama compares our incursion to Iraq with the Russians' invasion of Georgia.
And there are no moral equivalencies and there are no similarities.
Did the Russians go to the United Nations?
Are the Georges in violation Georgians in violation of 15 or 16 UN resolutions?
Did the Georgians or the Russians seek allies at the United Nations for this invasion?
There's no comparison whatsoever.
They went in to conquer Georgia and South Ossetia.
We went to liberate the Iraqi people.
And this moron doesn't know the difference.
This is why senators make lousy presidential candidates.
This is the kind of thing you can say all day long in the Senate, and nobody will hear it.
But after you've been in the Senate for three or four terms, even at about that point, you have enough experience and smarts not to know not to say something like this.
Joe Biden would still say something like this.
But he's about the only guy who would.
Essentially, what Obama's saying is that Russia is learning from our example.
They're just following our example.
In truth, Russia is not responding to the Iraq war or Afghanistan.
What's really got Russia mad in terms of our foreign policy is Kosovo.
Kosovo was not a situation where the U.S. was helping and supplying one side in a civil war.
The U.S. charged militarily into that country without any UN approval and carved a country away from Russian influence.
It's exactly what we did under the guise of NATO and to end ethnic cleansing.
Russia opposes the spread of Western democracy and those newly democratic countries desiring to come into the NATO umbrella.
We are trying to spread democracy, Obama.
I, you know, it's it's easy to laugh at this stuff, but if you stop and think about it, you get seriously mad.
So I guess we need to ask Obama if he opposes the Kosovo campaign.
Or the spread of democracy.
The desire of these countries to have some relationship with NATO.
Because he's just equated Georgia and Russia in a moral sense, they're both guilty.
Of course, we're the only ones guilty when it comes to uh Iraq.
All right, lots remaining.
Plus your phone calls on open line Friday, so sit tight, we'll be right back.
As usual, uh, ladies and gentlemen, half my brain's high behind my back just to make it fair.
Last hour, uh, on this program, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I asked uh Senator Obama a series of questions about his uh half-brother George Hussein Pyongyang Obama, who Vanity Fair found over in Nairobi in the outskirts of some little town living in a shack, living in a six by nine foot hut.
And I asked these questions last hour because the Obama campaign is trying to make they got nothing else going on.
They're in such disarray, there's panic that has settled in over Obama's loss of a lead in the polls, and they're trying to make hay out of a stupid story about McCain not knowing how many homes he has.
He doesn't have any.
They are his wife.
He doesn't own any of them.
So I asked a series of questions of Obama.
A caller by the name of David from Cincinnati was offended and called to tell me he was a conservative on some things and a wishy-washy moderate on other things.
Now, as you know, I have a little bit of a hearing deficiency, particular most voices on the phone sound identical to me, particularly women.
Sometimes if I know the voice I can distinguish it.
But uh everybody told me that George from Cincinnati sounded like McCain.
They also said he's Oh, yeah, David from Cincinnati.
He sounded like McCain, and that uh uh voice a little higher, and I didn't get that at all.
So they want to play this for us, uh the broadcast engineer side by side.
This is where I, as host, by the way, have to exhibit total trust in the staff.
The staff could totally embarrass me here.
But they have told me that these two people sound remarkably the same.
So who we got first?
We we have David from Cincinnati first.
Here's David.
Here's the caller.
Just thirty seconds of his complaining about the questions I asked Obama.
Uh I I've uh been listening to you for twenty years, and and um and I I agree with most uh of your positions.
I uh I'm a fairly conservative person myself, at least very fiscally conservative.
Yes, and politically and and and I've been fairly politically conservative.
The the last uh your last dissertation about uh uh o Obama's uh half siblings.
You know what?
I'm not a politically correct guy, but God almighty, that was offensive to me.
Okay, that's George uh uh David in Cincinnati.
Here's McCain.
My greatest moral failing, and I have been a very imperfect person.
Uh is uh the failure of my first marriage.
It's my greatest moral failure.
I think America's greatest moral failure.
Okay, I see it.
I said there's there is a remarkable similarity in uh in the speech patterns there.
Both fairly conservative, too.
I mean, the similarity is remarkable now that it's pointed out to me.
Interesting.
All right, it's open line Friday.
Let's uh let's head to the phones to the Tri-Cities, uh, Washington.
This is David.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
Hi.
This is an honor.
Thank you very much, sir.
Um, my name is David Beatty, and I'm sixteen years old.
I want to thank you for the work you do to educate America and reinforce what my parents teach us.
Something I believe needs to be retaught is the value of strong work ethic.
I want people to know that American dream is still alive.
I live in the Northwest for many people sing the songs of socialism.
Kids at school have no idea what it really means to have a socialist society, giving up their freedoms to quote, spread the wealth.
Yeah.
I try to talk about with people at school, but sometimes I can speak louder than words.
My brothers and I decided we would prove anything is possible, set a goal towards the goal, and accomplish the goal.
So we wrote a book that reflects the reflects just how standing for your own convictions and believing in yourself.
You say you're sixteen.
Yes.
This is amazing.
Very proud of you.
And uh last year we had the opportunity to have gray shine on our family.
We had lost um our grandfather in the Raincore Law Enforcement Foundation, P. Ha P. Has stepped in, and uh he was like a pillar of silent strength, which We will never forget.
He helped us go out and see our grandfather buried in Erlington.
And uh these two things tied together because we want to thank them for their help.
Uh last year.
And we want to try to raise twenty-five thousand dollars for them from proceeds from our book.
And we were wondering how much it cost to advertise on your show.
And I just want to talk to you person to person about that.
Well, I have uh sales representatives standing by.
They're always here.
Should I answer this question uh honestly?
Um I'm fine with that.
A little bit scared to hear the numbers there.
Pardon me?
A little bit scared to hear the numbers there, but I'm fine with that.
Uh yeah, you'll be you'll be scared to hear the numbers, I think, safe to say.
But uh we have ways uh on the have you w how far along are you on your book?
Oh, we we have it published like uh about a month ago.
Yeah, it probably how many pages is it?
It's a hundred pages.
Um yes it is.
What is the title of the book?
Pulling weeds to picking stocks.
Pulling weeds, picking stocks.
Is that right?
Is that what it said?
I'm having a hearing problem.
Pulling weeds to picking stocks.
Pulling weeds uh pulling weeds to picking stocks.
Yes.
Okay.
It's a hundred pays.
Is it it's soft cover?
Yes.
Okay, how much does it cost?
That's eleven dollars.
It just costs eleven dollars to buy it.
Yes.
All right, and is it available nationally or is it just in your local neighborhood in the Tri-Cities area?
I believe it is nationally available.
It is national.
And who published the the book?
Publishing.
State publishing.
All right, you have just received about a thirty-five thousand dollar commercial.
And it didn't it didn't cost you anything because your cause is worth the donation of busy broadcast time.
You want to sell this book so that you can donate further to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
Yes, sir.
That is, and you're sixteen.
You have uh you know, I yeah, we get I've got a lot of calls from people your age over the uh summer, uh, as people are out of school, and a lot of you, and I just want to tell you, please don't change because you are gonna become an adult and grow and mature at about the time your participation in uh changing the direction of the country is gonna be crucial.
Yes, sir.
Uh oh, we have found out your book is also available on Amazon.
Yes.
So people can go to Amazon and pick up their credit.
Well, here's another ten thousand dollars worth of advertising for you for you.
Pulling weeds to picking stocks.
Eleven bucks, my gosh, you can't beat that.
And proceeds, some of the proceeds that go to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation.
Well, there David, you learned a lesson here.
It never hurts to ask for what you want.
Well, thank you very much.
How else will people know?
How else would people know?
Thank you very much for your uh for your for your effort and your work here, and all the best to you, David.
Thanks for calling.
All right, thank you.
You bet.
Uh Sheila in Toledo, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Ross.
Well, I say I wonder if I could ask you if Sheila is on your top ten list of all time favorite girl names.
Yes, it is.
Oh, my old team.
Top ten favorite female name, Sheila.
Of course it is.
Yeah, ever since I watched Tarzan.
There's about thirty-eight names on that top ten list isn't there.
Yeah, sometimes they rotate because I get mad at some of them now and then.
Well, listen, um, you know your famous line about Cher that she was a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
Yes.
I think that, oh, we can transfer that to Obama now.
I think Obama is becoming a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
It does.
The phrase does apply to a lot of American leftists.
He may be at the top of the list today, though, but his the problem the problem with uh the problem with him uh is that he's in a position close to being in a position of power to implement this kind of ignorance.
It is really frightening.
Some of the things this guy has said just this week.
Uh, but this business about China.
Look to China.
They're the ones doing it right.
Look at all the money they're spending on infrastructure while our infrastructure is falling apart.
There's nothing in China that the average Chinese citizen wants to live in.
It's so shoddily constructed.
It's just it's it's outrageous and offensive and dumb.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Interesting story today in the Wall Street Journal.
It's an opinion piece, actually, by uh Shika Dalmia and Lisa Snell, and it's called Protect Our Kids from Preschool.
Starts out by saying Obama says he believes in universal preschool, universal preschool, and if he's elected president, says that he'll pump billions of dollars into early childhood education.
Chicoms do that too.
Universal preschool is now second only to universal health care on the liberal policy wish list.
There is no reason to do this.
Look at the area of education, public education that the government is already in charge of and is counttowing to the teachers' unions on.
We had the story about what's going on in this Los Angeles school the other day, where conditions is outrageous.
What is it?
Half of them can't read, half of them drop out.
The crime level is incredible in the school, and they don't do anything about it because they don't want to agitate the teachers' unions.
Now the parents of these kids are fed up and flabbergasted because they've got no choice to send them anywhere else.
The only reason that liberals are positing this notion of universal preschool is indoctrination.
And that's what they're using the education system for now, all the way K 12 all the way up through college.
Speaking of uh this notion that uh universal preschool now second only to universal health care on the liberal policy wish list.
There was a story yesterday from Swamppolitics.com.
Healthcare drops off the radar screen in terms of the issues the American people consider important.
See, well, what happened to health care?
Health care is far behind the economy.
It's far behind the war, it's far behind drilling.
One CBS poll from July put voter interest in health care at just three percent.
In August, it was at 8%.
It's been trumped by high gasoline prices.
Once again, here we have an issue that has been dumped right into the Republicans' lap.
Once again, we find that John McCain's best again, the best thing going for him is Democrats.
Because the price of gas is so crucial and so important, and it's related to so many other prices going up, that it is relegated health care to 8%, 3%.
I have always doubted whether universal health care has been as high on voter list concerns as they have said.
I think I I know people are concerned about it, and I know that employers are concerned about it, and everybody's you know really worried about the price, but the price of health care has not gone down.
The price of health care has not gone down, or the price of gasoline has gone up.
There's nothing that's changed in the circumstance regarding health care that makes people upset about it.
I know people are concerned, but I have never believed it was anything other than a pushed issue, amplified and amplified and amplified by the drive-by media so that everybody thought everybody else was concerned about.
Sort of like the old phenomenon where everybody you ask them, how's your life?
How's your home?
How's your economy?
Oh, I'm doing fine.
I'm worried about the neighbor.
Healthcare's the same way.
Oh, my health care, yeah, I'm covered at the company.
That's pretty good.
I'm worried about everybody else.
I hear nobody's got any.
They got 45 million uninsured, babies and all this, it's bad out there.
It's not.
It's not bad out there.
It's bad in China, it's bad in Russia, it's bad in Venezuela.
It's bad in Cuba.
It is not bad here.
It's bad in terms of relative comparison.
We've had better days, but it ain't bad here.
So health care's dropped off the radar screen.
A big liberal issue in the middle of a presidential election has vanished off the radar screen, replaced by what?
Gasoline.
Well, and guess who's standing in the way of cheaper gasoline prices?
The Democrats.
And from National Review Online.
Mark Hemingway.
Democrats are now pushing for a four-day work Week for federal bureaucrats.
The high cost of fuel makes the four-day week all the more important, said Stenny Hoyer.
In these times of high gas prices, I believe the federal government should do all it can to ensure that federal agencies and departments are appropriately reducing gasoline consumption.
This goal can be accomplished with the adoption of personnel policies to limit unnecessary commuting.
So, what happens?
Nancy Pelosi shuts down Congress.
Skips out of town without passing any kind of an emergency bill.
Now the Democrats are pushing for a four-day work week for gas relief for federal employees, even as they've refused to do anything to provide relief for ordinary Americans.
And is the Republicans going to hit back on this?
Now this these people are into parody.
Obama is a satirical parody of the greatest buffoon we could create as a Democrat candidate.
He's a Saturday nightlife parody.
That gets taken seriously.
Here's Stenny Hoyer.
High gas prices, prices so high, it's hurting people.
Don't do anything about it.
Just propose a four-day work week for Federal Bureaucrats.
So they can save money by not having to commute as much.
What are we supposed to do out here in the Hinterlands?
Oh, good.
Thank you for helping our precious Federal bureaucrats.
Why we couldn't get along without our president federal bureaucrats.
Thank you.
We bow down to you and so thank you so much for protecting our Federal bureaucrats.
And even with this dumb policy, not one thing to create new sources of energy that would reload lower the gas price.
The audio soundbites, ladies and gentlemen.
three, the drive-by media focusing on me and McCain.
Last night, Larry King had a panel to discuss it.
He spoke to former Clinton advisor The Forehead and Democrat strategist Jamal Simmons.
Wait a minute, he had a panel of two Democrats?
No, there was a Republican there.
Uh, we'll get to him in the next bite.
Here is Larry King saying to the forehead, forehead, do you see the chance of a Joe Lieberman on that ticket?
I think he really wants ridge, and this is a gut test for McCain.
I don't think he's got the guts to pick a pro-choice candidate like Ridge, even though that's who he wants.
I think he's going to cave in to the Bush Republican wing of the party.
He can't pick somebody like Tom Ridge, got a Rush Limbaugh saying that he can't do it.
That is uh Jamal Simmons, the Democrat strategist.
He can't pick, he can't pick Ridge Limbaugh says he can't do it.
Larry King then later talking to Republican strategist Kevin Madden.
Does uh Rush Limbaugh affect who your party nominates?
No.
Look, Rush Limbaugh is an echo chamber.
Rush Limbaugh speaks for a lot of grassroots conservatives.
There are people out there who feel very strongly about the direction of the party.
They make their voices known, whether it's on blogs, whether it's on the internet, whether it's on talk radio.
Rush Limbaugh gives them a chance to make themselves heard.
And I think this week, when you saw a lot of the backlash against the idea of a pro-choice candidate being nominated as John McCain's number two, they were using Rush Limbaugh as a vehicle to express their discontent.
All right.
It's close enough to what's happened.
I love King's question, though.
Does Rush Limbaugh factor your party nowadays?
Nobody was using me as a vehicle to express their discontent, Kevin.
Kevin, I love you, but I was expressing my own discontent with either Ridge or Lieberman for the sake of the conservative movement and the Republican Party and for the sake of victory in November.
But if there was a groundswell protest from voters to McCain campaign headquarters offices, they did it on their own.
I mean, I didn't...
I'd never take a poll of the audience.
Okay, what do you guys want me to say about this?
I'll say it.
The other hosts may try to figure that out, but not me.
Last night, CNN's election center fill-in host John King spoke to um the uh Democrat strategist Bob Schrum, and they had this exchange.
Rush Limbaugh today said this on the radio.
He said, I really hope it's Biden.
You don't want to say that too loud, but I really do hope that it's Joe Biden, because we've got a mountain of archival audio on Joe Biden, plus the arrogance factor times two.
Biden and the Messiah would just be delicious.
Bob Schrum, just a rant from Rush Limbaugh, or does he have a point?
It's a rant from Rush Limbaugh.
I think Joe Biden would be a terrific choice.
His depth of knowledge on foreign policy, his capacity to go out there and campaign to really go after the Republicans.
Oh gosh, folks, we don't pray on this program much, but for this, we might offer a prayer.
Please let them listen to Schrum.
Please, please let them take Shrum's advice.
We're hearing that it isn't gonna be Biden.
We're hearing that it isn't gonna be by.
Because I would love both those guys, because you have Obama by Obama Biden.
Because see, folks, if they keep if they keep listening to Schrum, the last guy that listened to Schrum was Kerry.
The last guy to listen to Shrum before Kerry was Gore when they were running for president.
Shrum has yet to engineer a successful Democrat presidential campaign.
I hope.
That they keep listening to Schrum and give us Biden.
Looks like this Chet Edwards guy's in the mix, but Obama can't believe the drive by is out there, tongues on the pavement, panting away, waiting for the choice, because they know he needs something to jumpstart the campaign.
He needs he cannot do this on his own anymore.
The magic is gone.
The lofty speeches saying nothing are now recognized as just that.
Lofty speeches which say nothing, plus they're old news.
Drive-by's are looking for a little more.
Uh a week from last night in Vesco Field at my high mile high.
So and so far you know, I made a bet, a little wager here when we started a program that Obama would not make his announcement before three o'clock.
Prediction.
Prediction time from the EIV network and the all-nowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling, all concerned Maha Russia.
After Obama's choice is made.
Somebody in the drive-by media will say, Well, you we knew one thing, Tom.
At least he had to take a white person.
We'll just see how um long it takes for that prediction to be fulfilled.
Here's Tim in Memphis.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
I was in the rush before Rush was cool.
Hey, Rush, I work for an international shipping company.
Obama, I think, said I'm paraphrasing.
I think he said U.S. companies would be looking to Beijing.
Yeah, he did.
He said if if with uh that's a that's absurd, Rush.
Uh nobody's looking to Beijing.
All the manufacturing base in China is in inland China, number one.
Number two, the infrastructure.
You said that China's infrastructure was better than the USA's.
This guy really scares me, Rush.
It scares me to death.
That is it's absurd.
Absolutely absurd.
I know I know it is.
Look at it, you know, if if if uh if you if you like these eye candy little construction projects for the Olympics, if you like people being kicked out of their homes to have these eye candy projects built, if you like no pollution controls whatsoever like constant smog.
If you like construction policies with so inept they can't stand a uh stand a uh a category three earthquake or something where 10,000 people die, China might be the place for you.
But but Rush, what scares me the most is he he has no idea of international business.
I don't need to tell you, and it may sound uh rudimentary to say that the world is getting smaller, but uh but it is, and any business manager, any manufacturing manager, um, knows that now is the time to look to India and Vietnam.
Not Beijing.
Nobody looks to Beijing.
Now I hope I'm not splitting hairs, Rush, but he did say Beijing, didn't he?
He did say Beijing, but to him, Beijing is the seat of government, not the seat of government, and that's how Obama sees countries.
He sees governments, he doesn't see countries.
So he doesn't see the outskirts.
He just sees Beijing is where the people like him live.
Nothing's manufactured in in in Beijing.
Hey, um, but this is this is one of my points, Rush.
This scares me to death.
He's talking about change.
I am scared.
I don't want things to change.
He just does not know what he's talking about.
This is unbelievable that a presidential candidate would make a statement like this.
China's infrastructure is better than the USA.
Has he ever been there?
Did you know that the last time I was in China, I did not go to the outline areas.
You know why?
Because one of my customers was seventy-five miles away from Hong Kong, but it takes about three or four hours to get there.
I didn't have that much time.
Look, they've got people starving, and they can't feed all of their people.
And as I have mentioned on this program, the biggest challenge that the Chinese, the Chicom Premier has creating 25 million new jobs a year, precisely in these outlying provinces that you're describing.
He's got to keep those people there.
His cities are overrun.
He cannot afford more people coming into the cities.
There isn't work for them.
He can't control them.
If they if they leave the countryside, they get educated and so forth.
The worst thing could happen to the ChICOM leadership.
Look at your join the cloud or crowd here on everybody being scared, angry, just mystified that this guy has become the Democrat Party's presidential nominee.
Folks, I'm gonna tell you that there have to be some Democrats that are scratching their heads over this too.
And I mean Democrats, they're going to be at this convention.
He may be saying things a lot of them agree with, but some of them know don't say this stuff.
Now we we're lucky to have this because the cameras had shut down yesterday when he said this.
They had all broken down at that little town meeting he had with the eyebrow, Tim Kane, uh, was near its end.
This is one of the last things that he said, and the uh the drive-by's already gotten what they wanted out of this, and they were long gone getting ready to go to the next stop.
Here's John and Topeka, your next sir on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hey, Rush Collin from the heartland of the Pika John Cooney.
Good to talk to you.
Listen.
Thank you, sir.
I'm I'm willing to do anything to get rid, and I think you're missing a boat.
It is going to be Kathleen Sibelius, contrary to popular opinion, no foreign policy experience, blah, blah, blah.
She brings everything that Hillary brings except a knife in the back.
And I think she's liberal.
She's a hundred percent radically pro-choice, tied to uh tiller and killer abortion.
Look at, hey, I understand, but you keep her there.
I'm praying my roles and I'm gonna be able to do that.
You're trying to get rid of this woman, and we don't want her anywhere near Washington.
She's doing just enough damage in Kansas.
You can get rid of her next time the election comes up.
But that wouldn't.
Let me tell you how big a government person she is.
She's the first state in the country where we were going to have state-owned casinos, where the state is going to be running casinos out here.
She's so green she blocked uh a new Holcomb power plant that would have brought us two billion dollars on economic development.
I know I never think about that power plant and how she the woman's bad news.
She's total hundred percent liberal.
She is so green she makes uh Barack look like Kermit the Frog, or you know, I just don't know where to go with this, but and she's radically pro-choice.
We want her out of the state, take her Barack, please take her with us.

You have just you well, you have just gone through her resume.
What in the world would you want to foist her on the whole country for?
You, it is time to sacrifice.
You keep her in that state and limit her damage to the boundaries of that state at I-70.
You get her to inside the beltway with Obama, we're in big trouble.
And I I just I'm I'm stunned.

From the Chicago Tribune today, a sad story, uh, ladies and gentlemen, about race in America, the story focusing on the uh Reverend Jackson.
And the headline of this piece uh by David Greasing is uh Jack Eclipsed in the edge of Obama.
Exactly as I told you many moons ago he didn't even read this, but there is news in this.
To help himself recover from after he wished he could castrate Obama, the Reverend Jackson spent ten days fasting and meditating in the Arizona desert, talking with Dr. King, reading the Bible, and talking with himself in an effort to sort out what had prompted his ill chosen remarks, that he wanted to see if there was a gap between his heart and his lip.
