Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 Podcast.
This, my friends, is even more insidious than you know.
This is more insidious than you can possibly imagine.
I'm talking about bringing these terrorists up from Gitmo and trying them in New York City in a civic live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
All right, I know that many people move to the program each and every day.
Open line Friday.
Let me explain it to you very quickly.
Monday through Thursday, when we go to the phones, the callers have to be talking about something I'm interested in.
That's how they get on the air.
Because I don't want to sit here and talk about things that bore me because then you won't want to listen.
But on Friday, I take one of the greatest risks ever known to have been taken in big media.
And that is when I go to the phones, I turn over the content of the program to rank amateurs.
Lovable.
Couldn't do without them.
Nevertheless, rank amateurs.
On Friday, you can ask, say, or bring up pretty much anything, whether I care about it or not.
It's a golden opportunity.
For those of you who think you can do this better than I do.
Telephone number 800, and everybody does.
800-282-2882 is the number, the uh email address, El Rushbo at EIB net.com.
Before I get into this uh uh this this disgusting travesty perpetrated here by Barack Obama who you notice how this guy's always out of the country when bad news hits.
Unemployment 9.4 flies off somewhere.
9.7 flies off somewhere, 10.2 flies off somewhere.
Uh sends Holder out there today to announce they're bringing a Gitmo detainees up here for a trial.
He's over there in Japan.
And uh he pulled it, they asked him about it over there, and he he pulled a uh uh uh Bill Clinton Janet Reno.
You know, when it when the Waco invasion asked Clinton about it.
Uh I I don't know nothing about that.
You gotta Attorney General uh uh Janet Reno, you need to go over her office, ask her about it.
I'm I'm sitting here stupefied as you are.
Obama was asked, what about what about this business of bringing these people up here to try them in New York?
Uh, the attorney general uh made that decision.
Uh-uh.
But yesterday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I uh I interviewed Governor Palin for the uh upcoming issue of the Limbaugh Letter.
It will be our cover story.
I think it's the first time other than an interview with me.
Sometimes I do interview myself uh in the newsletter because those are the best questions I ever get asked, are the ones I ask myself.
And uh, but she's uh she's the cover story she's the interview, and she will be here live on the radio next Tuesday, the day her book is released, uh, at the top of the second hour.
I talked to her yesterday.
I've got the book.
I have it right over here on the left, and I've I've had a chance.
I just got it uh a couple days ago, three days ago, and I've had a chance to to go through it, and I was I made a prediction to her when I talked to her yesterday.
I said, you've got enough in here that people who get hold of this, like the AP or any of the state controlled media, they're gonna focus on what they th soap opera aspects of your book, and they're gonna ignore what is truly one of the most substantive policy books I've read.
This woman, Governor Palin, uh clearly is jazzed by policy, particularly environmental policy and energy policy, as well as taxes and so forth.
I talked to her about the future of the Republican Party, what she thought about New York 23, how she deals with uh uh the character assassination uh, not just of herself, but of her entire family.
Uh it was it was fascinating, and we'll do it again on uh on Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock.
She sent out a uh a message here on Facebook.
Keep your powder dry.
As you probably have heard the AP snagged a copy of my memoir going rogue before its Tuesday release.
And as is expected, the AP and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book.
Keep your powder dry, read the book, enjoy it.
Lots of great stories about my family, Alaska, and the incredible honor it was to run alongside Senator McCain.
We can't wait to hit the road and meet so many on the book tour, see you in Michigan first.
That's uh that's Sarah Palin's post, reacting to the um uh fact that uh they're focused.
Well, what one of the things the AP is it uh is focusing on is um it's it's it's nonsense.
I should you know I should have printed out the AP story.
I didn't I didn't do it.
Uh but it's it's uh uh let me get my memory churning on.
I'll find it in here.
Rather than try to paraphrase it, I'll find it during the break.
Well, well, well, uh uh not going after her son in law.
You mean is Levi No, he's never son-in-law, but but uh no, she doesn't mention him.
She doesn't mention him in the book.
The AP can't stop, nobody can stop talking about this guy, this Levi Johnston, but she doesn't mention him in the book.
Uh she's she pretty open and honest about being locked up and confined and not allowed to be herself uh by certain people in the McCain campaign, Nicole Wallace, who set her up with a Katie Courick interview.
You know, I was I told you that I had some friends in town last week, and uh when I blew blew my stack again when one of them started asking me questions of uh Sarah Palin based on media reports.
And this guy brought up the uh the Palin uh Katie Courick interview, and that's when I started throwing a napkin.
I said, Don't you know what happened there?
Nicole Wallace, who used to work at CBS, pushed that interview on on Curic to help Couric.
Couric's numbers were in a tank.
Uh and she told Palin some things that were not true, and most of that interview ended up on the cutting room floor, the substance of the interview.
It was a total setup.
The total setup.
Well, why why didn't she know that?
She wasn't, she was on a leash.
You'll when you read this book, you'll find that they were they dressed her.
She wanted to wear her clothes.
They sent her.
Then they they they started this whole controversy about uh paying for the clothes where they donated, uh this this kind of thing.
Uh they would not let her mention, they wouldn't let they wouldn't let her give a shout out to George Bush during the campaign for keeping the country safe after 9-11.
Uh they wouldn't let her make a concession speech alongside McCain the night that he gave what many thought was his best speech of the campaign.
Um there are many other instances of uh you know stuff inside the campaign that will, I think, help people understand what the the real problem or a series of problems was.
I mean, she she really dishes it out at Steve Schmidt, who was the uh campaign manager.
She would they wouldn't let her go back and talk to the press on the campaign plane.
Uh they were uh it was uh it was I would have gone nuts had I been in that position that muzzled and that that directed uh uh.
But you know, she's she she's not hard on McCain.
She's she talks about it was an honor, you know, serving with him and as a as his vice presidential nominee.
Anyway, uh you'll learn all of this when you read the book.
It comes out on Tuesday.
It's gonna set sales records.
It already has, and and uh what's one and a half million printing is what uh is what's the original, and it's gonna go higher than that.
Now, this trial business, folks, um I I I went to the National Review Online Corner blog to see what my uh good friend Andy McCarthy thinks of this, because there's no better source.
He used to he he tried the blind shake.
He was in the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York in Manhattan.
He learned everything there is to know about militant Islam.
He tried the blind sheikh, he was on the team that convicted them.
And he is not surprised by this, nevertheless is appalled by this decision.
This summer, he writes, and I remember this, uh he he theorized that uh the attorney general Eric Holder.
And by the way, did you did you see in the uh press conference today when when Holder was making the announcement, they went to questions and all the media people kept referring to him as General Holder.
They did they ever refer to uh Alberto Gonzalez as General Gonzalez?
General Holder?
Anyway.
This past summer, McCarthy theorized that Eric Holder and his boss had a hidden agenda in ordering a reinvent reinvestigation of the CIA for six year old alleged interrogation excesses that had already been scrutinized by nonpartisan DOJ prosecutors who had found no basis for prosecution.
Do you remember when they brought this back up and they it outraged everybody prosecuting the people who had put their lives on the line to keep us safe?
The continuing investigations of Bush-era counterterrorism policies, coupled with the Holder Justice Department's obsession to disclose classified national defense information from that period enable Eric Holder to give the hard left the reckoning that he and Obama promised during the 2008 campaign.
And I've got some audio sound bites that'll back up what I'm about to say here.
It would be too politically explosive for Obama and Holder to do the dirty work of actually charging Bush administration officials.
But as new revelations from investigations and declassifications are churned out, leftist lawyers use them to urge European and international tribunals to bring torture and war crimes indictments against Bush-era counter-terrorist specialists.
Thus, the administration cooperates with the Obama left wing base, giving it the reckoning it demands, but Obama gets denied denied responsibility for any actual prosecutions.
Now we mentioned this to you last summer that this was the objective of this.
They don't want their fingerprints on it, but they want, I mean, this is this again, this is banana republic type stuff.
This is Marxist type stuff.
You go after your predecessors and you put them in jail, or you do what you can to embarrass them, discredit them, and ruin their lives.
And that's what is on tap here.
Now, the announcement today that Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and other top Al-Qaeda terrorists are going to be transferred to Manhattan Federal Court for civilian trials.
Neatly fits this hidden agenda.
Nothing.
Folks, stop and think of what's going to happen here.
Nothing results in more disclosures of government intelligence than civilian trials.
They are a banquet, a smorgasbord of information, not just at the discovery stage, but in the trial process itself, where witnesses, intelligence sources, must expose themselves and their secrets.
But it's even worse than this.
Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and his Confederates have no defense.
They have admitted this.
They asked to be executed and martyred last December.
They wanted to go meet Allah and the 73 Virgins.
They have no defense.
What's going to end up on trial here, and this is the insidious part.
What's going to end up on trial here is the United States, the CIA, our interrogation techniques.
All of this is being done to satisfy the rabid radical far left that hates this country, that hates George W. Bush, that hates the U.S. military.
This is the Obama, and by the way, the Obama administration, Eric Holder, not doing this just to placate their left.
They're in on this too.
They're the ones that kept talking about torture, tortures worse than the actual uh hijacking and uh taking down of the Twin Towers.
That's worse than these people's perverted, polluted, corrupt minds.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his confederates wanted to plead guilty and have their martyrs execution last December.
When they were being handled by military commission, and as Andy McCarthy said at the time, we could and should have accommodated them.
In fact, the Obama administration could still accommodate them.
After all, the president's not pulled the plug on all military commissions.
See, this is another part of the hideous nature of what happened today.
The terrorist, Nashiri, the bomber of the USS Cole is not going to be brought here for trial.
He's going to face a military commission.
Why?
What is the difference here?
They want this show in New York.
They want the United States on trial.
Folks, this trial may not start for four years.
It may not start for two years.
Do you realize these guys are going to be given lawyers?
They have no defense.
They've admitted it.
They wanted to be executed.
So what's going to be put on trial is not these guys.
Your country is going to be on trial, and your country will likely be found guilty.
I saw a former prosecutor, a federal prosecutor being interviewed on Fox today, and he said, I wouldn't worry about there's no judge.
I mean, these judges, these judges are lifetime appointments and they have full independence.
But no judge, no judge wants to be responsible for uh any decision that lets these guys go, Scot for you do not know who's on the federal judiciary anymore, sir.
We've got judges in this country who have gone on record saying these guys should be released.
If you don't think they can find a judge somewhere that'd be happy to find this country guilty, you don't know the American left.
Every bit of intelligence that was used to track these guys down, the world is gonna know about it.
The people who did it are going to have to testify.
They are the gonna be the ones asked about the legality of what they did.
Folks.
The people running this country do not like it as it was founded and constituted.
In their mind, this country is guilty.
Obama was asked about the A-bombs at Hiroshima, Nagasaki today.
First president in history to duck the question to not say that it was the right thing to do.
He ducked it, he ran for cover, he was asked twice.
He's the first president to go around the world apologizing for this country.
And now he's even ducking responsibility for making the decision to bring these terrorists up to New York for this trial.
Gotta take a break.
We'll be back after this.
We're back, open line Friday.
Rush Limboy and uh the phone number 800 282-2882.
Andy McCarthy again here.
So uh, we're now gonna have a trial that never had to happen for defendants who have no defense.
That is key to understand what's happening here, folks.
They have no defense.
They have asked to be executed, they have admitted doing this.
They're they're they take great pride in having blown up the World Trade Center.
And as I said, when defendants have no defense for their actions, there's only one thing for their lawyers to do, and that's put the government on trial in hopes of getting the jury and the media spun up over government errors, government abuses, government incompetence.
That's what's gonna happen at this trial.
It'll be a soapbox.
Folks, it's gonna be a soapbox for Al-Qaeda's case against America.
And if you don't think that they can't find some pro bono ACLU lawyers to go in there and make the case that the United States of America is guilty, you have another thing coming.
And since that'll be their defense, quote unquote, that the government of the United States is corrupt, unfair, unjust, and guilty, the defendants and their lawyers will demand every bit of information they can get about the interrogations, the renditions, secret prisons, undercover operations targeting Muslims and mosques, and depending on what judge catches the case, they're likely to be given a lot of it.
Because fairness, you see, has become the new foundation of the new America.
Fairness is defined by a bunch of radical leftists.
The uh the administration will be able to claim that the judge, not the administration is responsible for the exposure of our defense secrets.
There won't be any fingerprints on Halder.
There won't be any fingerprints of Obamas attached to this.
It's all gonna fall on the judge.
The judge is gonna take the heat, and depending on who the judge is, he might enjoy it.
I mean, there's a bunch of radical leftists on our federal bench as we s as we sit here today.
And this circus is gonna be played out for all the sea holders.
Oh, yeah, we're gonna have TV cameras in there, all of this.
In the middle of a war, we are going to televise to the world exactly how a bunch of leftist lawyers and terrorists think this country sucks.
And before it's all over, their lawyers are gonna end up making the case that these guys had cause for hijacking airplanes and bringing down the Twin Towers.
At some point, that's where this goes.
We're gonna have so much sympathy for the discrimination against uh people from the religion of peace that they were driven to this by our association with Israel.
And before it's all said and done, you're going to find some whacked nut jobs.
The Upper West Side of Manhattan are going to be on this jury who are going to end up thinking, you know what?
We did deserve it.
Now we know why they don't like them, and maybe we can set the record straight here and go forward in peace if we just admit this was our fault.
Endless fodder for the transnational left to press its case that actions taken in America's defense are violations of international law.
And this is going to destroy the CIA.
It will destroy the CIA, exposing virtually everything they've done to people who did it.
It's not good, folks.
Folks in a uh federal court, all bets are off.
All these pro bono leftist lawyers are gonna line up to volunteer their time to defend these guys.
They'll use every legal maneuver they can come up with to drag these CIA officers who conducted the interrogations before the jury.
They'll put the CIA on trial along with the rest of the country, and it's gonna be televised all over the world.
And it's just something that need not happen.
It is like everything else happening from this administration by design and on purpose with a specific motive.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This morning in Tokyo, Obama and Prime Minister Hatuyama hold a press conference.
An American reporter says, President Obama, how can you assure the American people that a trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court in New York will be safe and secure, but also not result in an innocent verdict for him?
With respect to uh Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, I believe that the Attorney General is going to be making an announcement this morning in the United States, this evening here.
I don't want to preempt his news conference.
This is a prosecutorial decision as well as a national security decision.
Uh here's the thing that I will say.
I am absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subject to the most exacting uh demands of justice.
The American people will insist on it.
My administration will insist on it.
Uh, and I'm sure we'll have additional things to say after uh the Attorney General's press conference.
All right, so defer it and pass it on to Holder and let Holder take the uh take the whole show on this thing.
Uh now, remember during the uh actual Iraq war when George W. Bush was president.
The very fact we went to Iraq, they said was going to create more terrorists.
It's gonna create even more hatred for the United States of America.
And we have no business doing this.
This is a war, this is a personal war for Bush, and all we're gonna do is create more terrorists.
And then oh and then and then that torture, that waterboarding, oh man, when that gets out and the flushing of Koran in the toilet, which didn't happen.
Oh, yeah, that's gonna create more terrorists.
That's really gonna create more terror.
Uh now.
They said they're gonna go for the death penalty here.
What is executing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed somehow not going to create more terrorists?
Uh Al Qaeda's gonna say, oh, well, they gave him a fair trial.
It's cool.
Is that what Al-Qaeda's gonna say?
You win this one, infidels.
Is that what they're going to say?
And the Arab street, that's not going to be inflamed either.
They won't use this as a recruiting tool.
Execution won't be unilateral, damage our reputation in the world community, or any of the other BS standards liberals invent, and then decide it only applies to Republican presidents.
Do you realize what try this?
There have been all kinds of people on television today being asked about bringing them in to New York, that doesn't that make New York any bigger terrorist target?
Hey, and they all say, Well, no, no, New York's always a terrorist target.
Look at '93.
We tried those guys in 1993, and nothing happened.
What do you mean nothing happened?
You ever heard of 9-11?
We tried these guys and convicted a blind shake in 1993 and nothing happened except 9-11.
The security in New York, the inability to get around, I mean and they're gonna still do the military tribunals for the guy that bombed the uh USS Cole.
All right.
Well to excuse me here, folks.
My audio feed is going in and out with lots of static, and I don't know why, and I've been trying to fix it during the break.
Uh let's go to something I have a transcript for.
Bill Hammer.
Fox News Channels, American newsroom, the co-anchor Bill Hemer interviewing Joe Seastack.
Seastack is a Democrat Pennsylvania.
Hemmer says, You stand by the decision to try Muhammad in civilian court.
Why?
Absolutely not.
This is to make sure that we stand up for our ideals.
We tortured I will support this decision of the president to bring these individuals to trial.
I am a strong believer that we need anti-terrorist types of efforts, including holding those accountable.
I also believe you don't break the ideals of not bringing people into their day in court.
So C stack says, I will support this decision to bring these individuals to trial.
Strong believer we need anti-terrorist types of efforts.
You don't break the ideals of not bringing people into their day in court.
Let me give you a name.
Nidal Hassan.
Because the FBI was involved, they were treating Nidal Hassan as a criminal, and Much tighter regulations.
First Amendment violation, oh, we couldn't really connect the dots here because our Constitution doesn't permit us to connect the dots.
If you invent, but the guy was a terrorist, he was acting out terrorism, he was preparing for it.
Everybody in the line knew it, but because it was not being looked at as a terrorist act, act of war, it was being looked at as your own mill, average ordinary, everyday crime.
And so the guy couldn't be stopped.
Same thing is going to happen.
Bring this people to court.
Bring their day in court.
We have to make sure American values and ideals carry the day.
So the rest of the world will look up to us and not hate us and so forth.
We are in the process of destroying American ideals.
We are in the process of subordinating America's greatness.
America's exceptionalism.
And my friends, it is not by accident.
Bill Hammer then says to Joe Seastack, Democrat Pennsylvania.
Some of the evidence will not be brought up in the case.
You're not taking a chance that if they are brought to the U.S. and set free, is this decision made to appease the left?
Absolutely not.
This is to make sure that we stand up for our ideals.
We tortured somebody.
I get it.
We also know that there's other means of gaining evidence.
No one knows yet if we don't have that evidence.
I have no doubt bringing them forward.
he is going to be prosecuted and the keys thrown away.
Fine, and you can also do that in a military tribunal.
We tortured somebody.
This is precisely being done to appease the left.
Precisely to give them their day of reckoning, but it's also much more than that.
It is yet another internal assault on the fabric, the traditions, the institutions that have made this country great.
We're the bad guys, the terrorists are the victims.
It's about torture.
3,000 people died.
The hands of this man, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 19 others flew the planes, and now we have to pay the price because we waterboarded, which is not and has not been found to be explicitly tortured.
It's a complicated thing.
This is going to make sure we stand up for our ideals.
We tortured somebody.
We also know that there's other means.
No one knows yet if we don't have that evidence.
I have no doubt bringing them forward.
He's going to be prosecuted a key's thrown away forever.
Uh you could also do that in military tribunal.
Hemmer is exactly right about that.
One more here.
Hemmer finally says, you mentioned the word torture.
Is that the administration's way of laying that at the foot of the Bush administration?
I do believe that what they did was wrong because most studies have shown that it does not give you evidence as readily or as credible as other means have brought them forth in the past.
What I do know is this is that all those years that I defended this nation, I didn't defend just people.
I defended our ideals.
We don't have to bend our ideals to defend them.
Or bring them into New York City where they struck us.
I have strong confidence in our judicial system that the evidence will be brought to bear.
This guy is a dangerous left-wing radical ideologue.
They don't have a defense.
Evidence.
These guys have confessed.
They have asked to be executed.
Last December, almost a year ago, they wanted to be fried.
They wanted their martyrdom.
And we could still do it.
So the evidence will be brought to bear.
The only evidence going to be brought to bear, the prosecutors will lay it out.
I mean, but then the government, the United States itself, will end up being on trial, because these guys do not have a defense.
Now, my friends, before we go to the break here, what we're doing here is this.
We are turning 200 years of history on its head.
We are treating terrorists like common criminals.
We are conferring constitutional rights on them.
We are denying ourselves the ability to interrogate and detain, as they will lawyer up from now on.
And because the policy was changed in the middle of the war, treating terrorists as criminal defendants and not war criminals.
It's hard to know how this due process issue is going to work.
This undermines our national security is is uh the soft pedal it.
It does far more than undermine national security, but w it is the bottom line.
Obama says this is a prosecutorial national security decision.
How does this help our national security bringing these guys to New York for a trial that could go on months, perhaps into years.
And by the way, this decision was made by Obama, not Holder.
Holder is carrying out Obama's policies.
Holder is Obama.
Jeremiah Wright is Obama.
Bill Ayers is Obama.
Valerie Jarrett is Obama.
Dan Jones is Obama.
And again, whether he's being naive and just doesn't understand it, hasn't properly educated, or whether it's diabolical and on purpose, doesn't matter.
The end result is the same.
Be right back.
Don't go away.
And we are back, El Rushbow and the EIB Network.
It is open line Friday.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
A little inside baseball here, folks.
The audio feed that I use with my cochlear implant for some reason is not working, so I'm using the uh implant that I normally use uh 21 hours of the day, which does not have the ability to patch in, so I will not be able to hear you on a phone.
I will not be able to hear any of the sound bites that we play, but I've got a transcript for that.
So I'll be relying when we go to the phones on Dawn, who will be stenographizing uh everything.
She will be she'll be she's a court reporter.
She's gonna she's gonna stento it up there, and uh it it'll be a couple sent I'm gonna be a couple sentences behind you.
Uh it's not your fault, Dawn.
It's the technology.
It's gonna be well, you can't get it up there as immediately as they say it.
My only point is it's gonna take me a little a little time here to see or to see what you were saying.
Now, why Don, I'm not insulting you.
I'm trying to advise the audience here on the technical um uh challenges that we are facing here today.
And it that fixing it is gonna be a challenge.
We can't I'm not gonna be able to fix it during the program, folks, because uh only I can tell whether it's working or not.
Our engineer has no way of telling whether it's working.
Uh and therefore we'd have to shut the show down for ten minutes or so to isolate what the problem is, and I'm not gonna do that.
So let's just stick with the audio soundbites here.
We'll get to your phone calls at the top of the second hour or very soon thereafter.
This is Eric Holder today announcing the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and his buddies in New York City.
After eight years of delay, those allegedly responsible for the attacks of September the 11th will finally face justice.
They will be brought to New York, to New York to answer for their alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood.
I am confident in the ability of our courts to provide these defendants a fair trial, just as they have for over 200 years.
The alleged 9-11 conspirators will stand trial in our justice system before an impartial jury under long-established rules and procedures.
Yada yada yada.
Confident in the ability of our courts to provide these defendants a fair trial, just as they have for over 200 years.
It gets better, though.
Another portion of Holder's remarks.
For the many Americans who lost friends and relatives in the attacks of September the 11th, 2001, and on the USS Cole, nothing can bring back those loved ones.
Today's announcement marks a significant step forward in our efforts to close Guantanamo and to bring to justice those individuals who have conspired to attack our nation and our interests abroad.
For over 200 years, our nation has relied on a faithful adherence to the rule of law to bring criminals to justice and provide accountability to victims.
Once again, we will ask our legal system in two venues to rise to that challenge.
Close Guantanamo.
We are going to get involved here and bring forward our effort to close Guantanamo.
Why?
we are guilty because we committed torture the united states needs to get its come up and send barack obama through eric holder is going to make sure that it happens So a question.
After this announcement, a reporter said, Mr. Attorney General, some critics have already spoken out saying it's a very bad decision.
Congressman Peter King has been quoted as saying this makes New York more of a target.
How do you respond to that?
New York has a long history of trying these kinds of cases.
Um the person who bombed uh the World Trade Centers back, I guess in 1993 was tried there.
The blind shake was tried there.
Um New York has a hardened system.
We have talked to the Marshall Service there.
An analysis was done about the capabilities that exist in New York, and I'm quite confident that uh we can safely hold people there, that we can protect the people who uh surround the courthouse area and um bring these cases successfully.
So I don't think that uh that criticism is factually based.
Now, this is what I was talking about uh a moment ago.
This is the defense that all these people are making.
Oh, no, no, no, no, New York.
Why?
Why uh New York is always a target of terrorism.
Why?
Look at 1993, a World Trade Center bombing.
New York is hardened for that.
Yeah.
1993 came before 91.
We tried these guys in 1993.
Uh that would be Omar Abdel Rahman and his buds, and then 9-11 happens.
They're making New York an even larger terrorist target.
These guys want to be martyred, folks.
They are it is their religion.
They Want to be martyred.
What could be better than to be martyred by their own people in the process of the United States ostensibly carrying out its wonderful system of justice?

Uh switched out implants, and I've got a bad connector, and one of my uh one of my belt-worn implant units were back in action.
I just was reminded here that in the first Holder soundbite, he uh he said uh they're being brought to New York to answer for their alleged crimes.
