Time Text
Well, now this is just sort of like the first day of hurricane season with the media.
Today, Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger back in a cockpit, U.S. Airways, LaGuardia to Charlotte.
First flight since he successfully ditched in the Hudson River, right?
So the drive-bys are following Sully Sullenberger as he taxis.
The aircraft out for takeoff.
Are they going to have helicopters follow the thing to see if birds hit it again?
Greetings, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB.
It's sort of like after Hurricane Katrina.
On June 1st, the drive bys went to every stretch of beach they could find looking for the next Katrina out there on the first day of hurricane season.
Great to be with you, folks.
Rush Limbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, Michelle Obama, in Copenhagen to bribe the uh to pitch the International Olympic Committee to choosing Chicago.
I'm I'm wondering if uh the fact that as many Chicagoans as not want the thing, as many don't want it as do, I wonder if that'll have an impact on the um folks, Chicago, when you're talking about Chicago, you're talking pure patronage.
The reason they want the games.
I don't I'd like to know, and I'm just guessing, this is I'm I'm just throwing this out.
I have no evidence just to back this up, this is just the way my mind works.
How many people in Chicago part of the Daily Machine?
How many people in the Obama administration from Chicago own some property that will have to be sold at premium prices to build the Olympic complex in Chicago, the Olympic village, uh venues and so forth.
I mean, don't forget, yeah, we may as well say it's a Tony Rezco production.
I mean, we know that Chicagoans stick together, the machine guys stick together, help you buy a house for very little and so forth, that's Rescoe for Obama.
Um just wondering how many you have to ask these things, because this is how it works.
How many Chicagoans in the Daily Machine and how many Chicagoans work like Rob, how many people in in the in the White House working for Obama own property there that are gonna sell at huge prices to have these Olympics take place.
Always follow the money.
Anyway, Michelle My Bell is over there in her speech in Copenhagen yesterday, Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her dear friend and chit chat buddy, the Oprah, as well as tomorrow's visited by her husband, President Obama, is quote, a sacrifice on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States.
She said, the first lady of the United States said as much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days.
So many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.
As first lady, as many of you know, I've made it a priority to bridge the gap between the White House and communities across DC and across the country.
What the hell is she doing?
Bridge what gap between the White House and communities across DC and the country.
What freaking gap is she talking about?
I've spent much of my first nine months trying to open the doors to the White House to kids who might not otherwise see themselves having access to these institutions, because that's where I came from.
Communities like that where kids never dreamed they could set foot in the White House, let alone live there, and Barack and I made a point of doing the same thing when we live in Chicago, making the concerns of kids in all sorts of communities are d do you want me to translate this or do I even have to?
I'm uncomfortable translating this because I know I'm right about it.
But that's a pure racial statement.
That is a statement that illustrates the chip on her shoulder and on Barack's shoulder and on Jeremiah Wright's, and rather than feel, because of Barack's election, rather than feel like some Really great achievement has happened.
The country's taking a great step forward.
They still hold on to the anger and they won't let go of the anger.
And they have to keep talking about the way things were.
How rotten things were, despite how wonderfully positively they've changed, how rotten things were.
And so I'm going to keep reminding people how rotten things were.
I've spent much of my first nine months trying to open the doors to the White House to kids who might not otherwise see themselves having access to these institutions.
Because that's anybody can go to Washington and get a tour of the White House any day.
Anybody can go to Washington and tour any monument or memorial any day.
Nobody is stopping anybody from doing this.
There are White House tours.
If you know, you can call your congressman and you can get uh you know some sort of uh access to a White House tour.
There's a number of things that you can do.
No, nobody's denied access to these institutions for crying out loud.
She's talking about the old discrimination, discrimination, and in her mind it hasn't ended.
People still feel that way.
This is what bugs me about all this, and this is what I mean by the chip on their shoulder they carry around.
And they're still, they still have a seething rage over it, even though the country is where it is, and we've moved as far as we have.
You still have a seething rage about it.
You know, Jeremiah Wright still has a seething rage about it.
Mrs. Obama said that bringing the Olympics to Chicago is especially important right now because, quote, athletics is becoming more of a fleeting opportunity.
Athletics is becoming more of a fleeting opportunity.
Listen to her explain that.
Funds dry up, so it becomes harder for kids to engage in sports, to learn how to swim, to even ride a bike.
In addition with childhood obesity on the rise, it's so important for us to raise up the platform of fitness and competition and fair play.
Well, now, how many decades have we had this worthless thing called a president's commission on physical fitness?
And we've had all these athlete celebrities nominated ahead of the thing up, and I don't know what the hell ever happens, other than a softball game, a t-ball game, and an Easter egg roll.
What in the world here?
Funds have dried.
It's harder to learn how to swim.
Because funds have dried up.
It's harder to learn how to ride a bike because funds have dried up.
No, it's getting harder to ride a bike because certain school districts are telling kids that they can't ride a bike to school, nor can they walk the school.
I've got that story somewhere here in the stack.
Finally, she said having the Olympics in Chicago would be important to let people know that we understand that sports saves lives.
That it makes dreams come true, that it creates visions in kids' heads to make them think they can be the next David Robinson, the next Barack Obama, who's a well-known sports figure, by the way.
Barack Obama, a well-known athlete, yes, that's what he's known for.
The next Nadia Komanich, the next Oprah Winfrey, who is also known as a great athlete.
Well, that's what she said here.
We understand that sports saves lives.
It makes dreams come true, creates vision in kids' heads, to make them think they can be the next David Robinson, the next Obama, the next Oprah.
Oh, there's Sully.
He just took off.
They do have a camera somewhere.
There's Sully Sullenberger.
Looks like he's in an Airbus A something or other.
Taking off so far, no birds have interacted with the engines of Sully Sullenberger's jet.
Looks like a smooth departure route coming out of LaGuardia.
Sully Sullenberger en route from LaGuardia to Charlotte, Charlotte, North Carolina.
And I I kid you not, they have a telescopic lens on a camera following the flight.
Nothing against Sully Sullenburg.
No, don't misunderstand.
I'm simply commenting on media obsessions.
Okay.
I want to go back to it's a sacrifice for her and Barack and Oprah to fly in the epitome of luxury on government Jets to Copenhagen and have a huge party.
They're throwing a party over there as they argue and pitch for the Olympics.
As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me, or who in the world is saying it's a sacrifice for you.
Who in the world's running up to Michelle Obama said, Well, I really love the sacrifice you're making here, Michelle.
There's a lot of things that you could be doing, like bridging the gap between the White House and communities out there, but you took time off from that number one charge of yours of bridging the gap, and you're out there really sacrificing arguing for the Olympics, come to Chicago.
Great sacrifice to head over there to Copenhagen.
Great sacrifice to take your own plane when your husband's coming on his own plane two days later.
Why, this is a marvelous sacrifice.
What we we we should all be grateful that the people living in the White House should make this kind of sacrifice and then have the courage to tell us that they know what a sacrifice they're making.
Now, unlike you, I'm I'm thinking that uh Michelle Obama needs a little dictionary lesson.
Let's not forget this is the woman who is not proud of her country unless she's getting what she wants from it.
She said during the campaign the first time she'd been proud of her country was that Obama was nominated or done something.
So she sacrificed herself to get in a big luxurious jet, a Boeing 757, to fly to Copenhagen, where she's pampered and treated like she were a goddess.
Yes, this is a sacrifice.
Meanwhile, we have had at least four of our voluntary military men and women killed while living in tents in the most Godforsaken spot on earth, while insane religious fanatics try to kill them.
All the while.
She and her husband need a few more weeks to decide whether he can risk angering his base to send reinforcements to help them.
So, Michelle, you need to look at a Merriam Webster dictionary, study the word sacrifice, because it's obviously a word you did not learn in your Ivy League education.
You're throwing a party.
You're flying over on a 757, your husband comes over later on a 747, you're with the Oprah.
You're in a in a luxurious hotel suite, sipping adult beverages, throwing parties with canopies while these various people come in and you give them the pitch.
And while all this is going on, men and women who have volunteered to defend and protect this country are getting killed in Afghanistan while your husband dithers on whether to send them reinforcements because he can't figure out if it'll hurt his health care bill chances.
She wants to tell us that people tell her that they're aware of the sacrifice she's making.
Arrogance, yeah, hubris, yeah.
Class, no.
Awareness, no, sensitivity, zero.
Ability to relate, zero.
Total self-centeredness, yes.
Again, and we could do this seemingly with practically every news story that comes down the pike.
Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, in Copenhagen, pitching the Olympics for Dallas or Houston.
And they're over there with uh Bruce Willis and the Oak Ridge boys.
And Laura Bush says, people have told me of the immense sacrifice that George and I are making to come here to lobby for the Olympics for Dallas or Houston.
And imagine that happening during the Iraq War and either of them saying that.
And imagine what the reaction to it would be.
Today they marvel at the fact that Michelle's there, working hard to bring this home for Chicago.
Bring it home now.
They're Obama's going over there.
They're talking about the bravery and the courage of our president to go over there and risk National and worldwide humiliation by having the games go to Rio and not Chicago.
What a brave, courageous president this man is.
While troops continue to die in Afghanistan with no apparent hope for reinforcements.
Back in a second.
Hey, folks, I got more evidence here of the uh of the success and the long reach of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Does the name Betsy Wright ring a bell to anybody?
Betsy Wright Clinton administration early on during the campaign of 1992, she was in charge of the bimbo eruptions.
Whenever any of Clinton's former concubines were going to pop up and level any kind of accusation, it was Betsy Wright who kept the file on him and threatened them with destruction and embarrassment.
She was in charge of bimbo eruptions.
Okay, Rush, so what do you mean by the long reach of the vast right wing conspiracy?
Well, just posted from state controlled associated press an hour ago, former top aider Bill Clinton, when he was governor of Arkansas, has pleaded not guilty of charges of trying to smuggle contraband into prison.
Betsy Wright is accused of trying to smuggle tattoo needles, a box cutter, a knife, and tweezers into the Varner Supermax unit while visiting a death row inmate in May.
A sixty-six-year-old Wright in charge of bimbo eruptions entered the plea yesterday in a court filing in Lincoln County Circuit Court.
The filing by defense attorney Jeff Rosenzweig, also a Rosen's wig, also waives her arrangements, which have been set for next week.
Wright was Clinton's chief of staff for seven years and worked on many of his campaigns.
See, it's the vast right wing conspiracy here, folks, the vast right wing conspiracy that put the tattoo needles, the box cutter, the knife and the tweezers, into Betsy Wright's pockets.
And it was the vast right wing conspiracy who then drove her to the Viner Supermax unit to visit a death row inmate that an evil vast right wing conspiracy judge had also convicted and sentenced.
You see how successful we are?
We're taking down these Clinton people one by one.
They vast right wing conspiracy, and Clinton knows it because he keeps talking about it.
I personally had a hand in this.
I picked up the tattoo needles.
To the phones we go, Marcus and Boise, Idaho, home of Boise State.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush.
It's good to talk to you.
Yeah, I just wanted to comment that uh I'm I'm pretty much outraged that our president is flying over to another country to promote the Olympics in a city where our children are murdering each other in record numbers.
You know, I I'm originally from Oakland, California.
I had a son murdered there.
My best friend was a victim uh of murder as well, a mistake in identity, and he was an athlete teammate of mine.
And this has been a problem to go on for a long time.
And I just don't understand uh why my people don't see that Obama is not like us.
He's an elitist.
He was groomed for this position.
He never lived the life that we did.
See it.
He never came up like we did.
They see it.
I don't want to hear this now.
Why don't people speak people do see it?
Now the people that voted for him may not see it yet, but I I I guarantee some of the Wall Street people who who voted for him see it.
They're scared to say so.
Charles Gasparino, New York Post yesterday, big column.
I got it coming up.
Uh but Obama's gonna include these crimes in the Olympics.
Here, you get regret they have the thing real handy about Mike, the uh Obama is the pitch here of the Olympic people.
Yeah, here it is, folks.
Listen to this.
Now, we all know how flawed the Olympics have been in recent years.
And I have apologized around the world for those bad judgments of the past.
But from this moment on, if you allow me, Barack Obama, to preside over the Olympic games.
I promise to move forward with hope and change.
The Olympics is about competition.
And I, Barack Obama am the avatar of competition.
Just as I have introduced more competition into health care, I will lead the world into greater competition in the Olympics.
Bring your Olympics to my Chicago, and I will deliver Olympic events for all.
Do you realize that less than one one hundredth of one percent of athletes ever get to compete in the Olympics?
My plan will not only make competitions universal, but also it will be a huge money maker, since there will be a steep fine for anyone who does not compete.
Those fines will go half to your committee and half to my committee.
Acorn.
We will have government mandated marathons to prove that no one nation is better than any other.
No matter how exceptional opinions are at long distance running, how Russian women excel at Shop Pun, or how Chinese female gymnasts are ageless.
To promote fairness, we will provide an Olympics review panel to give head starts to losers in the races of life.
Like uh obese people across the planet who never get their fair share of medals.
I will give them starting lines closer to the finish lines and provide incentives for them to participate.
Like Chicago style pizza and a cold glass of beer at the finish line.
To be more inclusive, we will also have inner city-style events like the Chicago jump, beat, and run, drive-by target shooting, and the mortgage fraud, borrow and hide.
But those are just a hint of the many ideas I have to make these Olympics the first Olympics for the rest of time.
All I ask is bring the Olympics to Chicago.
And I promise you, you will never leave.
Oh, and yes, uh, you know that logo thing with the circles?
You must put my face in each one of them as well.
Thank you for your consideration and your time.
No, no, that was a uh Obama's he's in there practicing reading the teleprompter with a pitch that he's gonna make to the IOC in Copenhagen tomorrow, and we uh microphones are everywhere, folks.
And here's the uh we got a call.
I mean, how can he bring the Olympics to places where such crime inner city crime goes on, and it's gonna turn some of those events into Olympic events.
Here's uh here's from the pitch.
To be more inclusive, we will also have inner city style events like the Chicago jump, beat, and run, drive-by target shooting, and the mortgage fraud, borrow and hide.
But those are just a hint of the many ideas I have to make these Olympics the first Olympics for the rest of time.
All I ask is bring the Olympics to Chicago.
And I promise you, you will never leave.
Oh, and yes, uh, you know that logo thing with the circles?
You must put my face in each one of them as well.
Thank you for your consideration and your time.
We will do that at Rush Limbaugh.com on our website, the Olympic the five rings.
We'll put the one's face in each one.
Each one of them turned into the Obama logo.
One more thing on the Olympics before we get back to the phones, and this this again is I think an illustration of the sheer panic people are in.
Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara warned yesterday that the 2016 Olympics could be the last Olympics because global warming is such a threat to mankind.
Tokyo, Tokyo, this is a Reuters story.
It is from Copenhagen, Tokyo bidding to host this guy's this is part of his pitch.
Bring it to Tokyo because after this, they don't have to do any Olympics anymore, too much global warming.
Well, all these clowns that global warming is where the next big worldwide global warming uh Copenhagen Ratter is where the next big worldwide global warming climate change summit is.
So the Japanese guy thinks he's got an in here by saying, hey, there won't be any Olympics after 2016 because of global warming.
Now, look, I I realize there are those of you in this audience that you really do pride yourself on caring about the environment, and you're you're wondering is there any something to this?
Is there are there things that we could do to limit uh whatever damage we're doing?
And so what do you think when you hear something like this?
Does it not just destroy your whole investment in the cause?
A governor of Tokyo warned Wednesday, the 2016 Olympics could be the last Olympics with global warming and immediate threat to mankind.
He said, It could be that the 2016 Games are the last Olympics in the history of mankind.
Global warming is getting worse.
We have to come up with measures without which Olympic Games could not last long.
Scientists have said we have passed the point of no return.
Well, if we pass the point of no return, what the hell?
Uh but it looks like Sully Sullenberger has made it successfully away from LaGuardia.
They're tracking his flight on flight tracker.
The long-range lens of the camera no longer can capture the plane in flight, but so far no reports of birds being sucked into Sully Sullenberger's engines on the U.S. Airways flight.
So there you have it.
Tokyo's put considerable emphasis on staging a green games with the planned Olympic Stadium, the first to be fully powered by renewable energy.
They won't have any.
I hope Tokyo gets it.
There's no way Tokyo gets, but I wish Tokyo would get it.
Everything funded by renewable energy and solar.
Nothing'll work.
Back to the phones now.
People have been patiently waiting.
It's a Tammy and Vestal, New York.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey Rush, how are you?
Great, thank you.
Listen, I just wanted to totally thank you for letting Susan from California have her little say yesterday.
I was listening to your program, cleaning my house, and I was in absolute tears listening to this woman.
And I want to thank you for letting her do that, because number one, she needed to vent, and you gave her a forum to do that, and that was your good deed for the day, number one.
And number two, I'm, you know, my husband and I are raising a nine-year-old little girl, and we try very hard every day to teach her to be a good person and to behave properly and to act like a young lady in this world.
And everybody's going crazy.
The government, everyone is losing their collective minds, and it is so nice to hear someone out there who's normal.
And that little piece of information gave me more hope than Obama could ever give me.
And I just wanted to thank you for that.
Well, that's very that's that's uh that's very kind of you.
I really I really appreciate that.
That's a uh kind assessment.
You know, everything are you you got a nine-year-old little girl you said?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, Roman Polanski rapes drugs, rapes a thirteen-year-old.
Whoopi Goldberg's that's not rape rape.
And all of Hollywood is now coming out to defend him, Roman Polanski for what happened in 1977.
You've got a little nine-year-old girl.
What do you think of that?
When you said Hollywood, the Hollywood culture, all these left wingers, for some reason, that they're they're they're all the their guard signs, guardposts are down, and they're just they're vomiting exactly who they are.
Date rape, 13-year-old rape, rape, rape, whatever you call it, drugging a 13-year-old girl for fine and dandy.
Don't you dare put him in jail for that.
It it's it's crazy.
And to be perfectly honest with you, Hollywood disgusts me.
I can't even hardly bring myself to go to a movie even a movie that I'm interested in, because the first thing I think of is who is in this movie?
Have they irritated me recently?
And if so, game over.
I want no part of it.
Well, it's uh it's interesting times.
Uh I I never thought that I would see the left be this open about who they are and what they believe and what they want.
So I hope they keep talking.
Thanks, Tammy.
This is David, Jupiter, Florida, right up the road.
By the way, but have you guys heard David?
Welcome to the program.
Great to have you here.
Michael, it's a pleasure to speak with you.
You uh you live anywhere near the Bears Club by any chance?
Um I know the Bears Club.
I think you're thinking of the Lock of the Hatshee Club, though, Pott.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm thinking of the Bears Club because Michael Jordan is building a huge house.
He's bought two lots there at the Bears Club.
The local media is aghast over this.
Jordan's building some 30,000 square foot house with a cottage and a guard gate.
You put Barkley in there as the guide, or as the as the as the guard, milk dud head.
But um, it's the the average house size out there is 10,000 square feet, and the environmentalist wackos have gone nuts.
Nobody needs that much.
Nobody needs that much space.
How could he?
Who is he thinking of?
And uh it's it's two lots right there at Nicholas's club, the Bears Club.
And uh everybody's just going nuts about it.
I've got the story here in the stack.
A couple more things to say about it, but I know that's not why you called.
What's up?
We'll we'll be glad to have Michael in the neighborhood.
He's uh he's a he's a great guy.
And my call is regarding the Polanski case and uh hearing the uh reference yesterday is not really a rape rape, so um at 53, I don't get outraged or surprised by too much anymore, but I'm a parent of a teenage daughter and a family member of a violent crime sex victim, so I would suggest that uh Whoopi uh uh maybe say needs to take a reality check.
Uh if she had children, I don't know what her marital status is, or et cetera, but if she had a thirteen year old, she wouldn't send her uh to a champagne clay we'd probably at Jack Nicholson's home with some over 40 year old men.
But Jack Nicholson wasn't there.
The uh the Hollywood community goes out of their way to point out that Jack wasn't there when Roman Polanski did what he did.
Jack wasn't there.
Jack wouldn't we can't no, don't include Jack in there, as does his house.
Jack wasn't there, Polanski did what he did.
Now here's Whoopi Goldberg, who routinely gets on this case about women's rights and how unfair women are treated in this country.
I mean, th th these people are um if you don't study 'em like I do, you scratch your head.
You say, what?
Who are these people?
It's not really rape, rape.
Uh thirteen-year-old girl drugged.
Not really rape, rape, whoopi Goldberg said.
You got Scorsese, Woody Allen, Pedro Almovodar, uh all asking, this is senseless.
Why why would you why would you bring uh Polanski to they're telling us all who they are.
Now I study these people.
I study these people left and I know them, and none of this surprises me about them.
This is who they are.
It has been twenty-one years trying to convince people of this that's been the challenge.
But now I've got the best assistance I could ever have, and that's them and their own mouths from this doofus Alan Grayson on the floor of the house to Pelosi to uh to Harry Reed.
I mean, to Michelle Obama with this sacrifice that she and Barack are making to go to Copenhagen to pitch the Olympics for Chicago, Bob in Fargo, North Dakota.
Welcome, sir, to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hello, Maha Rush.
Hi.
Uh conservative Kanye Ditto from Fargo.
Thank you, sir.
You know, Mick, you were good.
You were great in your time.
Mick from the high hills of New Mexico.
High Mountains of New Mexico, yes.
You ain't no Sue from Glenin from Glendale.
Well, Mick has uh passed away, so I know, I know, and I say that with uh ultimate respect.
Um what I want to say about Sue from Glendale, but I am a boy named Sue, by the way.
And uh she was phenomenal.
I think uh Rush, you lead us so much into humor and good times and fun, and you told and articulated in the first hour yesterday the TARP bill and the tactic and the strategy that we are now all waiting for to happen next week.
And I think she just I loved her though.
She was phenomenal.
I you know you've hit on something here.
I d one the thing that the thing that uh uh I'll tell you a little story about this.
Uh a friend of mine in Kansas City sent me a note, I'm getting phone calls from friends and family talking about how great that call was.
And I keep saying to him, don't you realize that it w it was the Rush Limbaugh show?
Don't you r and he asked me, are you not a little upset about this?
And I said, Well, why why would I be upset?
It's the exact opposite.
I said, because you you've said something here.
The first hour of the program, I laid it all out.
In the third hour of the program, Susan calls, and rat tat tat tat tat, A through Z, passion without stuttering.
I always say here that one of the great things we do on this program is make the complex understandable.
The idea here is to spread education information understanding of complex things in an understandable way so that people end up informed.
Yeah, I mean, yesterday was a home run all the way around.
I didn't have to say a word when she was on the phone, didn't I?
She just I didn't even talk up at the she just talked us right into the break.
And so it's um yesterday that that call I I am still getting emails about it from people who are just now listening to the program yesterday via podcast or uh uh the the video stream from uh Rush Limbaugh dot com uh yesterday.
So you I mean it was a clear home run, but it what it illustrates to me is is that all of this can be made understandable.
And when people find out about it, because they're informed to begin with, they're educated to begin with, when they find out about it, they are outraged.
And that passion, you know, she kept saying on the air, what can I do?
And I'm just a lone little voice out here.
I don't know what I can do to rally anybody.
And she she rallied millions yesterday with uh with with her phone call.
As I say, I mean, look, we're still getting phone calls about it today.
And we have not replayed that phone call, folks.
We have not.
It's on the website.
We put it on the free side at Rush Limbaugh.com by executive order from me uh yesterday, but it was uh it was really great.
It was uh it was a fabulous date.
I'm glad uh all of you recognized it uh for what it was.
She, by the way, she is a subscriber at Rushlimbaugh.com.
I got an email from her last night.
Well, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was about an hour after the program ended.
Uh I got uh uh and she was thank you so much for giving me so much time.
I can't tell you how upset I was when I heard what you said, but thank you so much because and and apparently she'd been hearing in fact I'm getting emails from people in Toluca Lake, which is right next to Glendale, who want to meet this woman and who want her to go with her to them to the next uh tea party or or congressional town hall out there.
So anyway, win-win.
Glad you noticed it uh out there, Bob.
A quick timeout will be back on the fastest three hours of the media.
We're almost through with our second hour already.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations is a highly trained broadcast specialist, Bremington, Washington.
Laura, you're next.
Great to have you with us today.
Thank you, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
I've been trying to get through for months.
Well, you made it.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I want to compliment you on what you do for us.
You've You tell it like it is.
You're not afraid to to let people know exactly what's going on.
You're not afraid to call a liar a liar, a cheat, a cheat or a traitor, a traitor.
And there are so many of us out here that do agree with you.
So please just keep up the good work, keep doing what you're doing.
And I wish your Limbaugh letter came out more than once a month.
I read it so fast, I enjoy it so much.
Um I agree with you on the Obama.
They are two of the most angry, pathetic people.
It's ever been my sorry misfortune to see.
And uh quick word about Whoopi Goldberg.
She sees absolutely nothing wrong with the rape of a 13-year-old child.
But she thinks it's terrible for people to pick their nose.
Have you ever read her book?
No.
My God, she is offended that people pick their noses.
You mean in uh in public?
Anywhere.
Well, no, no, wait, no, for for for see, for Whoopi to be offended at that, she she would have had to have seen people pick their nose, which means they're doing it in her presence, which might send her a message.
It just might, you know.
But Dan's.
Now, as for whooping, you know.
Well, one thing Whoopi is trying to split hairs on this, she says in her defense, because people say, What do you mean it wasn't rape-rape?
Whoopi is saying that she was speaking legalistically about the difference between rape and the specific charge of unlawful sex with a minor.
Oh.
And she's saying she was misunderstood when she said that it was uh not rape rape.
What it was was unlawful sex with a minor.
Now, to me, it's a difference without a distinction.
Uh, what is the meaning of is?
The initial charge included sodomy, and let's go.
I mean, I'm sure Whoopi's a feminist, and we all know that the feminists have uh well, what was that then Catherine McKinnon, who taught law at the University of Michigan, actually said that all this was she was teaching female students in her classes back in the early 90s that all sex is rape, even the sex in marriage, because it all involves domination.
So the feminists, I mean, I don't think the feminists are going to draw the fine line distinction that Whoopi uh is drawing here.
Just all these leftists, I don't care whether they're in entertainment or whether they're in politics, they circle the wag or they're in news.
You know, Dan Rather makes up a whole story about Bush and a National Guard, and they gave him an award.
Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw chaired a big award ceremony, circle the wagons around Dan Rather on that.
Because what these people are doing is protecting their industry in their in their uh in their own minds.
I gotta run.
I'm a little long here in this segment.
Thanks, Laura.
We'll be back with much more after this.
Folks, do you want to laugh?
We're putting Americans back to work, doing the work that America needs done, rebuilding roads and bridges and uh new schools and all manner of construction project across all 50 states.
I'm not gonna rest.
I know the governors and candidates here today are not gonna rest, and I know that the American people are not gonna rest until everybody who's looking for work can find a job.
Must be building a road to the Clinton library massage parlor because they got like two million dollars of stimulus money.
