Welcome back, my friends, as well as music lovers and thrill seekers, all across the fruited plan Rushland bore the excellence in broadcasting network.
The most listened to radio talk show in America and growing and expanding by leaps and bounds.
Here's the phone number if you want to be on the program 800-282-2882.
The email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
You may have heard, uh, ladies and gentlemen, that the uh long-rumored luncheon between the former President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton and the Messiah, the most merciful Lord Barack Obama, uh, was taking place, or was to take place, it did take place today, and I happen to have a pretty good idea exactly how the former president thought about this and what his plans are.
I will share those with you in moments.
But first, I want to again, for those of you who were not here at the top of the program, the beginning of the program, I want to revisit thoughts earlier expressed on this, the seventh anniversary of 9-11.
Because we're told that we're not supposed to politicize this.
Well, we're not we're not no.
We can't we can't bring any politics into this, and I steadfastly reject that notion because 9-11 was not just something that happened on one day.
There has been a seven-year aftermath that I think we should all remember.
True on 9-11, seven years ago, we were blind-sighted 19 terrorists, possessed by evil, hijacked our airplanes with box cutters, and brought down the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
They blew a hole in the Pentagon, and they crashed a plane outside Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, which they were attempting to turn around and either hit the Capitol building or the White House.
At the end of that day, 3,000 Americans were dead.
But that wasn't the first day of such attacks on Americans.
Al Qaeda's war on America had already claimed hundreds of lives by then.
We just hadn't accepted the reality of it.
They had claimed these lives via embassy uh bombings, the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, and countless other attacks.
But the Clinton administration treated all of these cases as criminal cases, deliberately handicapping our intelligence agencies and foregoing a strong military response, and even Jamie Gorellick, as a deputy attorney general at the time, famously constructed the wall between the intelligence agencies such as the CIA and the FBI and the DIA because they were conducting all these investigations uh as part of grand juries, and that means secrecy.
So whatever was learned in grand jury testimony could not be shared.
So our intelligence agencies were behind.
Now, in the immediate hours after the 9-11 attacks, drive-by journalists sneered.
I mean, this was the same day.
Drive-by journalists were sneering that President Bush was running scared aboard Air Force One, the late Peter Jennings of ABC, said on the air after the president's speech, well, it's just the case that some presidents are better at this than others.
Meaning Bill Clinton, of course.
Within days, various associates of Bill Clinton were quoted, wishing the attacks had occurred on his watch, so that Bill Clinton could have had a chance at greatness.
The Democrat leader Tom Dashel attacked Bush for doing nothing on what turned out to be the eve of our military operations in Afghanistan, once again looking like a fool.
Democrat political memos, because that was back in the day, by the way, where the Democrats wanted to look tough.
They wanted to look like they could be counted on to defend the country.
And by the way, there's polling data out, and I have it on the snack here.
They have lost ground in the area of the American people, trusting them on national security and their willingness to defend the country.
I'll find it in a second.
Dashell and the boys, yeah, they wanted to look really tough all over Bush's case for not doing anything about it.
And it happened to be they opened a door right into their nose again, bloodied their nose themselves, stepped right in a bag of manure because the very day Dash was out there whining and moaning, the next day our operations at Torabora began.
Democrat political memos suggested, strategic political memos suggested that the president's popularity could be diminished by branding him a liar in all of this.
Hillary Clinton echoed the conspiracy-based claim that Bush knew about the attacks beforehand in a poll that was just referenced here some two years ago.
35% of Democrats, 35% of the American electorate, believe that Bush knew about 9-11 before it happened.
And if they think that, then they have to also admit that they think Bush let it happen.
Left-wing Hollywood's revisionist history movie Fahrenheit 911 by the bloated bigot Michael Moore.
That movie was released.
It got the big award over at the Cannes Film Festival.
Played all over the world.
And I am convinced to this day...
That to what degree this country is hated and despised and that Bush is hated and despised could be laid at the feet of the lying, stinking propaganda put out by Michael Moore in that movie, Fahrenheit 911.
Let us not forget that Michael Moore only recently said he was one of many Democrats who was gleeful over the fact that Hurricane Gustav would roll into New Orleans, was God's gift to Democrats.
He forgot that Hurricane Gustav had rolled through Cuba, his favorite country, and had wreaked havoc there, even as it missed New Orleans.
The degree of hate for this country expressed the last seven years by the Democrat Party and its associates.
The desire for defeat of the United States and its military by the Democrat Party and its associates has been constant.
It has been a loud swelling drumbeat that we have not been able to escape.
This war is lost on the eve of the surge, said Harry Reid.
They accused General Petraeus of lying before he has opened his mouth in testimony before House and Senate committees.
I could go on and on Jay Rockefeller and his memo to Democrats strategizing how to use the war for Democrat Party political gain.
And I have that memo right on the top of my desktop.
I have not filed it away in case I need immediate access to it.
Okay.
So here we are, seven years later, after having our troops compared to Nazi thugs by Dick Durbin.
Having our troops compared by Dick Turbin to people who ran the Soviet gulags, and pole pot's killing fields.
We have the same Democrat Party feeling sorry for terrorists, wanting them to have constitutional rights, wanting them to have Miranda rights read to them on the battlefield.
The American judicial system, the illegal community, many of which populated by Democrats have sought to co-opt commander-in-chief duties in prosecuting the war on terror for themselves.
The ACLU and other interested civil rights groups have gone to court to prevent any intelligence gathering information that would help to secure this country further.
The Democrat Party and its associates has very publicly, very loudly, very blatantly, very openly, campaigned against victory.
They have sought to foment hatred for this country around the world.
Their talking points the last seven years are no different than those that come out of the mouth of from the latest tape from bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahri or Mahmood Ahmadinizad, or even Hugo Chavez Just an aim for.
And they aren't the slightest bit embarrassed that people who hate us and are our enemies echo their own Democrat talking points.
So after all of this, seven years later, the president's popularity has diminished.
Video 9-11 attacks is rarely seen.
We're told it's too too soon.
It's too emotionally upsetting.
We can't see this.
The Democrat Party has been the last seven years trying to convince everybody we can go back to a pre-9-11 frame of mind and mindset.
I can't think of too many security measures that they have openly supported.
I can only think of security measures they have been forced into accepting.
Wiretaps, phone calls, international phone calls trying to find out what terrorists are saying to one another.
Democrats posed anybody doing that and then lied, saying that the president wanted to spy on Americans.
They wanted to sue the telephone companies for facilitating the effort to track down people who were conducting phone conversations overseas aimed at conspiring against the United States, planning future attacks.
They wanted to stop the ability to find that out.
So, President's popularity has been diminished.
We rarely see video of the 9-11 attacks.
The victories, the victories that we have had in the war on terror, are downplayed and were opposed by today's Democrat Party.
Despite all this, 58% of the American people now say we're doing well on Iraq.
52% of the American people now think we are safer than we have been, safer than we were.
Despite the best efforts of the Democrat Party to convince the people of this country that we are at greater risk, that we are no safer whatsoever, that Bush lied, people died, our troops are thugs, they're rapists, they're murderers.
Hello, Jack Mertha.
The list of Democrats is endless.
Those who have impugned the honor and the integrity of the armed forces of the United States, and they tell us politics is off limits today, sorry.
Because 9-11 didn't just happen on one day.
It has an aftermath.
We're still living through it, and every day we turn on any television station.
We have to put up with drivel and bilge from Democrats and media people who are sour on the fact that we have succeeded.
They can't wait to report bad news.
They hide the good news.
Look at Hurricane Ike about to plow into Texas.
The drive-by's aren't there because it's not New Orleans.
They'll eventually send the B team down there, but they're not there now, wreaking havoc, praying for the worst.
But I want you to remember something.
Despite all of this, we had an administration which did not cave on this, the whole concept of U.S. national security.
We haven't had Democrats issue this stupid report this week saying the ports are no safer, the bus lines are no safer, the train lines are no safe.
We haven't had a bomb.
We haven't had one terrorist act succeed in this country for seven years.
No ports blown up, no buses blown up, no trainers blown up, no airport, no airplane has been hijacked or blown up.
But tens of thousands of Al-Qaeda terrorists are dead and running for the sand dunes in Iraq.
Well, there have been no more attacks against Americans on American soil.
While you remember everything else about 9-11 today, also remember that.
Since 9-11, 2001.
We're back, El Rush Bose, serving humanity.
While meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
By the way, a quick question, folks, how come it's okay for Democrats to know what God intends?
Such as hurricanes hitting Florida from Don Fowler to Michael Moore.
Oh, yeah, this proves God's on our side, God's aiming at Hurricane at New Orleans.
But then when Sarah Palin refers to our mission in Iraq as a blessing from God, all hell breaks loose.
When they talk about Jesus Christ was a community organizer.
Pontius Pilate was a governor.
How come no outrage over any of that?
We all know the answer to this.
The double standard, but they're not getting away with it.
All right to the audio sound bites.
This is this is funny.
The drive-by's hated waiting for Sarah Palin to arrive in Alaska.
We got we got David Rodham Gurgen here with uh with uh uh Anderson Cooper.
Cooper says, you know, it's it's gonna be interesting, David, to hear Sarah Palin in a different context.
This is a state where the people know her, where clearly she's overwhelmingly popular.
She's not gonna be telling them about the bridge to nowhere, and thanks, but no thanks.
And I'm rubbing my eyes in disbelief that we're all sitting here waiting to watch the arrival of a vice presidential candidate.
I mean, we're we don't do this for presidential candidates.
Yeah, well, why do you think this is happening, David Rodham Gurgen?
Uh then Cooper says, Well, David Gurgan, as you watch this, can can this last?
Can this sort of, I mean, it's been a honeymoon period for Sarah Palin.
Can it go on much longer?
It's unimaginable to me.
It is unbelievable to me that we're sitting here at 11:30 at night Eastern Standard Time.
Why?
This is just great.
It's only it's unbelievable to me.
We're sitting here at 11:30 at night Eastern Standard Time waiting for this woman to arrive at all.
Well, why don't you go home?
Look at that.
Look at Fox's doing a little said.
Do Democrats think Biden is the right VP picker a mistake.
I warned you people, I predicted this from the get-go when I begged for Biden.
When I asked the Democrats to nominate Biden, I suggested that anybody gonna be first to leave a ticket, it will be Biden.
You I'm telling you what, I think the powers that be in a Democrat Party wherever they are are having a whole lot of buyer's remorse about both these guys.
Speaking of Clinton, I mentioned this earlier, Clinton and uh and Obama had lunch today.
Now, you see the body language on this.
Clinton was as far away from Obama as he can get.
Now, let me tell you what Clinton, what's going through Clinton's mind here when this happens.
Okay, he gets this call from Obama, and Obama says, Look, I I want to come have lunch with you.
I want you to come campaign for me.
So Clinton bangs up the phones.
I just don't believe this.
I had to go out there and I had to stand side by side with my wife who's trying to feed off me, trying to build a career off mine, and now I gotta go out there, and this guy wants to meet me.
He had no doubt he's gonna ask me to go out there campaign with him to get his acorns out of fire, because this little guy cannot do it on his always gonna go rely on the professional big time old Bill.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna do it.
And you know why I'm gonna do it?
Because the last thing I want, the last thing Hillary wants is for this little guy to win this election, that'd be the worst thing could happen for her future and for mine.
And so I'm gonna make him think I'm gonna help him out.
But there's one thing that I know.
I know that this pick of Sarah Palin, that babe from Alaska, that has united the Republican Party like I have.
Last time they were this were united, it's against me.
And if it hadn't been for that little Ross Perot, I'd have been out and never been president.
He hated my guts, and I'll tell you what, they're gonna end up the way the Democrats are making these mistakes here, saying all this crazy religious stuff.
So I'm gonna go out there and I know the last thing I represent, standing there next to Obama is the future.
I'm the past.
They look at me as the past.
Then nothing changed about old Bill.
Bill's what see what you get.
So I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna make Obama think I'm helping him out.
It's gonna cost him big time.
It's got he's not gonna know what hit him.
I'm gonna be sandbagging, I'm gonna be sabotaging his campaign while Obama thinks I'm helping, because these Democrats still think that I am the Messiah.
They think that I am the guy that still runs the party, and I'm the savior.
That's why they're coming to me.
But what do I know?
I know that every time I show up with Obama or any time I show up anywhere, the Republican base gets even more unified.
Because there isn't one Republican out there that's gonna vote for me or vote for Obama because I'm out there supporting him.
And of course, the idea I'm gonna somehow be able to get these women back, only Hillary can do that.
And I've talked to Hillary about this, and she wants nothing to do with Obama.
She's got a campaign for other Senate candidates, retire her debt and out there.
So I'm actually glad they called me.
Hey, Bill, can you get my little acorns out of fire said Obama?
Because I can't do this on my own.
It's a little bit bigger than I thought it was gonna be.
Say, come to me, and I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna make it look like I'm having more fun than I've ever had.
I'm gonna make it look like I am back in my element.
But I know that my presence and some of the strategic things I'm going to say.
Republicans are going to show up in droves.
This election like they haven't shown up in years.
And Obama is going to be history forever.
All right, everybody's zeroing in now on Hurricane Ike and where it will make landfall in Texas.
It's uh the corner hurricane track right now.
It's gonna be uh very, very close to Houston and Galveston area, a little southwest of that on the Texas coast.
I would let they're already evacuating people, hundreds of thousands of people are being evacuated in the area from the area where uh it is to hit.
I I'd like to offer a public service for those of you in Texas who are being evacuated, and that is to throw away all of your possessions.
Throw away everything that you got, throw away your car, throw away your laundry machine, whatever it is, throw it away, because I read a story from the AP today talking about how much we could learn from Cuba in uh in in dealing with hurricanes.
Uh Cuba apparently is better than anybody in the world at evacuating people.
And I also learned this from the Associated Press.
Anita Snow was the info, babe.
There was no looting.
There is no looting ever.
In in Cuba during hurricanes, and that's because nobody has anything.
And this was said by the AP to be a really monumental achievement.
I mean, this was something we should all emulate.
We should be more like Cuba.
So to avoid looting and losing your possessions to theft, just throw them away.
If you are in Texas, and that way you won't be looted.
I'm just trying to help here by spreading the word from the associated press today as the um as a uh credited Cuba for being able to show the world how to deal with natural disasters.
Sarah Palin, huge ovation last night when she got home to Fairbanks, Alaska.
We have three sound bites.
This is just overwhelming.
Thank you.
Oh, I am so glad to get to be here.
Thank you for being here, Fairbanks.
Thank you for letting us be here.
Oh, this is beautiful.
Wow, it's been an amazing couple of weeks, and I just want to thank you, Alaska, for your support and for your encouragement.
And what we've been doing is taking our campaign on the road, of course, across the nation, and we've been carrying our message of reform to the American people, and we've been talking all about Alaska, and people are in what a trip it's been, and I cannot wait until you meet John McCain.
He's a friend of Alaska, and he's gonna be the next president of the United States of America.
They love her up there.
They just they literally love her up there.
She's got 80% approval ratings as uh higher than that, even as governor in uh in Alaska.
She's genuine here.
She's uh she's very authentic, real person.
You can hear that she genuinely appreciates this uh outpouring of support.
Here's the next bite.
Americans know that you've done some great work up here, Alaskans, as we've kind of taken the government here in the state, put it back on the side of the people in these last couple of years.
You've really helped shape things up, just like we're gonna go to Washington, D.C. to do also is to shake things up in the Capitol.
What John McCain has noticed is that Alaska has returned to the fundamental truth that government is not always the answer.
In fact, government too often is the problem.
So we've got back to the basics, and we put government back on the side of the people.
There's a little uh channeling of Ronald Reagan there.
Ronaldo's Magnus government is the problem was one of his most famous utterances.
Here's the third soundbite from Governor Palin.
I feel like I'm preaching to the choir, because you guys already know this.
It's a message from America.
We've got a reform agenda for America.
That's what we're gonna run on here, guys.
And I am so honored and I am so humbled to serve as Senator McCain's running mate, and I am equally honored and forever will be honored to serve as your governor of the great state Of Alaska.
Representing our fellow Alaskans is not only a tremendous honor, it's also a sacred duty.
And you have placed great faith in me.
And as I travel across the country, I will keep that faith by fulfilling my duty to you and spreading our good message.
And I promise that I will do my best to make Alaskans proud in the weeks to come.
And I would ask you to help me then.
Let us work together.
Let us elect John McCain, a great man who will be a great president because he is a friend of Alaska, and he will be our next president.
Governor Palin, by the way, today was uh uh impugned and insulted by no less than Lincoln Chafee, who has the same number of brain cells as an amoeba.
Governor Chafee, uh Senator Chafee, ex-Senator Chafey called her a cocky wacko.
We now know why he's an ex-Senator.
Really, you you you're dealing with the guy is, you know, an order of fries short of a happy meal on a given day, and that's the best he does.
Well, let's just keep it coming.
All you moderate liberal Republican Democrat, I don't know, just keep it coming.
Just keep leveling these mindless insults.
Now, as you listen to Senator Palin, or Governor Palin, as you listen to her, and as you are mesmerized by her ability to speak, I don't know if she's in a prompter there or not.
But you hear how genuine she is, she's excited and all that.
Compare it to say this.
Uh uh, Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Chuck, stand up over there.
Let everybody say, Oh, my God, what am I?
Oh, just stand up for Chuck.
And then, of course, there was this yesterday.
Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America.
Let's get that straight.
She's a truly close personal friend.
She is qualified to be president of the United States of America.
She's easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America.
And quite frankly, um it might have been a better pick than me, but she's first rate.
So there you have Joe Biden essentially saying he's not the guy for the job.
And then it just never stops.
The gifts just keep on giving.
Yesterday, in an interview with the Associated Press noted celebutard Matt Damon.
You do the actuary tables, you know, as a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin.
And it's like a really bad Disney movie.
You know, the hockey mom, you know.
Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's the president, and it's like she's facing down Vladimir Putin, and you know, using the, you know, the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey, you know, rank.
You know, it's just it's it's absurd.
Matt, let me tell you so you will need a study up on Sarah Palin.
You will find out that she has been very open and says everything she learned about competition, everything she learned about dealing with uh obstacles in her way and adversity she learned playing basketball.
And she was good at it, and this was back in the this is before Title IX Matt, before the feminists got their hands around uh high school and junior high school athletics.
I'll tell you what, old medal buddy.
I'd rather have Sarah Palin staring down Vladimir Putin than Barack Obama agreeing with Putin that the United States of America is the problem in the world, you little jerk.
The United States of America is the solution to the problems in the world, and your guy, Obama thinks we're the problem.
We're not as great as we once were.
We haven't met our promise and so forth, but he can't tell you when it was better.
So when it comes down to staring down either Mahmoud Akmadini's odd I mean, it's your guy who said he would meet with these people without preconditions, and he would grant them the imprimatur of seriousness by walking them into the Oval Office.
Your Guy lives in a pipe dream.
He thinks with the power of his personality, his messianic personality, his ability to persuade that all these people are just going to become our friends, and we're going to be ended with strife, and there will be no tense anxiety, and nobody will be wringing their hands together because it's all going to be one perfect world of peace and love and harmonic convergence from the top of Mount Shasta.
Give me Sarah Palin dealing with these thugs any day.
Here's more of the celebutard Matt Damon.
It's a really terrifying uh possibility.
The fact that we've gotten this far and and we're that close to this being a reality is crazy.
Crazy.
She I mean, does she really I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago.
That's an important.
I want to know that.
I really do.
Because she's gonna have the nuclear codes.
You know?
I I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago, or if she banned books or tried to ban books.
I mean, you know, we can't we can't have that.
Well an idiot.
Well, there you have it.
I just I I actually I want to take back Matt, I'm I'm sorry I called you a celebrity, and I'm sorry I called you a jerk.
I am.
I I I really should because I want him to keep talking.
I think he's brilliant.
I think he's got some tremendous insights here.
I think Matt Damon may be onto something here, folks.
We need to hear more from Matt.
Matt, I'm sorry.
I usually don't call people names like this, and I d I just you know it's been a pressure-packed day for me, too.
So I I'm sorry.
You you keep talking.
Keep granting these interviews like to us weekly and to uh entertainment tonight.
And let's see what else could you go on.
I don't know, some of these stupid shows.
Go on American Idol.
You know, ask ask him for a speaking engagement one night in America and I have to get ginned up here before the election.
Some such show as that.
Buy an hour's worth of TV time.
That's right.
Buy an hour's worth of TV time to tell everybody how concerned you are with Sarah Palin.
Uh but buy it on NBC.
They'll sell it to you, probably cheap.
Quick time out.
We'll be back and continue.
Right after this, don't go away.
Okay, back to the phones.
We have uh Tanya from Fayetteville, North Carolina, home of Fort Bragg on the phone.
Uh Tanya, nice to have you here.
Oh, thanks.
How are you doing?
Very well, ma'am.
Me too.
Um, I'm gonna get right to my point.
Because I I my main point is Goldemyer, a Milwaukee school teacher that went to Israel, was prime minister, and kicked butt.
An ordinary, everyday woman that rose to the challenges.
Any any woman, any person can rise to any challenges.
And I'd like to go on to uh Matt Damon and the Disney, the bad Disney thing, and what's the dinosaurs 4,000 years ago?
I mean, they weren't here 4,000 years ago.
No, I'll tell you what.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me tell you what I think that is.
Now I'm not I'm not I'm not sure about that, but I think this is a because he she's never said that.
What this is is Matt Damon's bigotry, prejudice and bias against fundamentalist Christians who believe the earth is only 10 uh 10,000 years old.
So that's what he thinks of all Christians.
He thinks all evangelical Christians think that the earth is not billions and billions and billions of years old, it's only 10,000 years old.
I think that's a good thing.
And therefore, and therefore in the 10,000 year history of the planet, the dinosaurs would have been around 4,000 years ago.
So that's it it just pure unadult.
I think that's what it is.
Because she's never said this.
I I I don't know where it's coming from.
But you know, his buddy Ben Affleck, raised by a single mom, rose to great fame, great prominence.
Women can do anything.
I I know.
I'm not sure.
Of course they can.
But they're not first sergeant.
But they're not gonna let a Republican woman get away with doing anything.
Well, they're hypocrites.
I mean, on one hand, oh, go out there, be all you can be, get a college grass uh.
I'm glad to see you figuring it out.
Uh uh run corporate America, but uh men, when it's not somebody that espouses their views, it's like, oh, she needs to be home with her kids.
I'm glad I'm doing why.
I'm glad to see that you're figuring it out.
Better that people figure it out on their own than just be told by somebody.
Anyway, Tanya, thanks much for the uh for the phone call.
I appreciate it.
I saw it happen again the other day, folks.
I saw where a whole bunch of people lost their identity because some hacker got into some hotel computer system and made off with uh I don't know what it was.
25,000 names or 10,000, I forget what the name was.
This is one of these things that it's it's everybody thinks it's it's not gonna happen to them.
Identity theft, if it happens, well, I just I just call a credit card company and uh I'll only be liable for fifty dollars and so forth.
You're not protected from identity theft, and you can do something about it.
It doesn't cost hardly anything, and it's very, very simple.
But what if what if all of your stuff was stolen?
And what if your credit cards were used to create new bank accounts, your identity was used to get new credit cards?
They steal your wallet, open new accounts, or add new lines of credit.
What are you gonna do about it?
What if they go out and commit a crime in your name after they have stolen your identity or they get medical care using your identity?
Who's gonna protect you then?
There's a company that does.
It's called LifeLock.
They're the leader in identity theft because they're there for you, and no matter what, you can call them up 800-440-4833.
Or just go to LifeLock.com and use the promo code Rush.
There's some little goodies waiting for you if you do that.
Promo code Rush at lifelok.com.
It's sort of like, you know, you don't think your hard drive on your computer's not gonna fry, because it will someday.
You do not want to go through identity theft.
You may think it won't happen to you, but you don't want to have it happen.
It's a hassle that you may have a long period of time getting out of and reversing.
Lifelock.com and solve that from happening to you.
This is Sergeant Clay in Avano, Italy.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, hello, Rush, and uh Megadethos, my brother, and God speed to you.
How are you?
Thank you, sir.
Very much, Sergeant.
No, thank you.
Hey, Rush.
Look, I I want to touch very quickly on uh Obama and other politicians, such as Mertha, Durban and the rest.
You can name them I can't because of my position, obviously.
But the fact that they are surprised that our success with regard uh to the surge in Iraq and the surprise that we are winning this war at all is extremely offensive, Rush.
And I I understand it, though.
I understand that they think that we are the problem, that we Americans are the imperialists and the tyranists.
But I've got a message for them, sir, if I if you don't mind.
Go ahead.
On this day of 9-11, where so many of my brothers have have died and my sisters.
We are not Rome.
We do not Romanize.
This is not Greece, and we are not Sparta.
This is America.
We are the purveyors and the keepers of the faith of freedom of and democracy.
Since the birth of our nation, Rush, all we have ever sought as a people is not some kind of cheap negotiated prostitute peace, but only liberty.
True and prosperous peace, Rush will follow liberty like a shadow.
For true and prosperous peace, as you know, is it's it's Liberty's child.
And freedom born child.
Freedom is worth any price.
And I look at, you know, I don't blame you, Sergeant, for being upset at Obama and these other people taking shots, saying Iraq wasn't worth it.
It's like saying what you do isn't worth it.
We um we just we thank God for people like you to listen to you speak about what you do and how close to your heart it is.
Uh you're a special breed.
There aren't very many Americans who would volunteer to do what you do.
And I don't think there is ever any way we could properly pay all of you back for what you have done.
We'll be back.
Stay with us, folks.
Well, that's it, folks.
Sadly, out of busy broadcast moments here, but there's always tomorrow.
