Time Text
And greetings to you.
Welcome back Rush Limbaugh.
Now documented to be almost always right, 99.5% of the time.
An emergency opinion audit conducted by the Sullivan Group arrived at the EIB's Southern Command just this morning, prior to the program's uh start.
Telephone number if you want to join us, 800 282-2882, and an email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
You see where uh President Obama, in announcing how he intends to lose uh the war in Iraq, uh, sorry, Afghanistan, or both actually, is going to do it.
The national address will occur from West Point on December 1st.
My question is, will they detain him?
Hopefully.
Ed Begley Jr.
Ed Begley Jr. is what?
He's an actor.
He sells us on make believe.
It makes perfect sense that Ed Begley Jr. would be selling the make believe of global warming.
Here is the final installment of his meltdown with Stuart Varney on Fox yesterday afternoon.
Nobody's gonna come in and have you going to this kind of light bulb.
What is an easy bake oven?
The little kid's toy an easy bake.
Why do you want to put a light?
A light bulb is a little mini toaster.
Why do you want the best technology?
Because you ought to be pushing you around to Helen the Hamlet.
You're spewing your nonsense here yet again.
Nonsense.
The air in LA is uh twice as clean as it was in 1970.
Why?
Because a good technology has everything to do with good science.
Nothing to do with global warming.
Has everything to do with finance and cleaning up the air.
You people said it wouldn't work.
We have cleaner error because of the catalytic and nothing to do with global.
I know it doesn't, but you said before.
You said it about seat belts and airbags.
Dispute these lies of my argument.
Do you have an insurance policy in your house?
Lies.
Do you have an insurance, a fire policy on your house?
Do you have one?
Yes.
Why don't you have an insurance policy on global warming?
Because it's a hoax.
Now, Ed Begley Jr., in a previous sound by said, don't listen to me.
And don't listen to Rush Limbaugh.
And don't listen to you.
Don't listen to me.
He said, listen to the scientists.
Well, I have this from his own damn website.
He said, Don't ask a geologist about acting, and don't ask him about science.
He's got a website called a page called Ask Ed.
Click on the topic you want to talk to Ed about.
Food, energy, clothing, transportation, recycling house.
Nothing about acting.
He says, don't ask me.
His own damn website wants you to ask him.
so This is from his own Ask Ed web page.
Ed tells people how to buy carbon credits.
A lot of the tips on this website focus on saving energy, but why is that important?
It's great to lower your energy bills and save money, but what's a bigger picture?
It's tough to lower your carbon footprint all the way to zero.
That's where carbon offsets can help.
Carbon offsets are a way of balancing out your all of this is worthless.
All of this is a hoax.
I'm telling you, I I cannot emphasize this enough.
Those of you who call yourself scientists, if you don't conduct your own investigation here, your entire field is bunk.
Your entire field will be viewed with as much cynicism as people view politics.
Because that's what you've become.
You're destroying what once was a pursuit of truth.
Confirmed and confirmed and confirmed and confirmed, and now science is one of the four corners to seat.
In the universe of lies.
Here is an email.
One of these emails from the uh Hadley Climate Research Unit from Phil Jones to his partner in crime, Michael Mann.
Dear Mike.
See the attached.
Odd quote by McIntyre in the middle of this.
He's not interested in challenging the science of climate change or nitpicking.
He's simply asking that the data be made available.
The only policy I want people to change is their data access policy, he says.
I must have been in a parallel universe for the past seven or eight years.
I'm off at noon today, back on August 20th.
I'll be checking email once a day.
This is the point.
There have there's a Canadian scientist just wants the data.
Will you guys just release the data?
It hasn't been peer-reviewed.
That's the whole point, Mr. Begley.
They haven't let anybody see it.
They're saying trust us.
And that this these emails, we will destroy the data before we let people see it.
We're not going to respond to Freedom of Information Act request.
We will delete it, we will destroy it before we let people see it.
They admit it here.
McIntyre, he's not interested in challenging the science.
He just wants to see the data.
They are not and never have released the data that confirms all of this because it doesn't confirm it.
If it's science, and if it's the truth, and if you are so brilliant to have discovered it, let the world see it and earn your reputation and money that way.
But that's not what this is about.
This is about advancing socialism, liberalism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it.
It's about advancing an agenda that takes people out of freedom away from people or individuality, it destroys capitalism and seeks to establish everybody under the auspices of a giant world government somewhere in the United Nations.
That's what this is about.
And it has been exposed.
Here's Jim Inhoff, Senator from uh Oklahoma last night.
Also on your world with Neil Cavuto, Stuart Varney.
Senator, I believe you have an announcement fresh for us at Fox News.
What is it?
Today, uh announcing the investigation.
I'm the ranking member of the Environment Public Works Committee.
Uh we have sent out letters today to a number of government agencies to the IGs as a part of the investigation uh into the the disclosed disclosure of emails and so forth.
Also, we've sent them to the scientists who have whose names have appeared on some of the documents that have been revealed the last few days.
And many of these scientists are scientists I'm very familiar with, they're the insiders of the IPCC that I think all along have been trying to hide the real avoid the real science in this whole uh notion about global warming.
He's exactly right.
So a Republican senator is calling for an investigation, but I'll tell you that I I'll pound this for as long as necessary.
Those of you, and I know that many of you in this audience are scientists.
If you don't, if you don't demand the truth on this, this gonna take you down.
Anybody calls themselves a scientific researcher, especially in climate or global meteorological systems.
If you don't challenge this and demand an investigation in the truth, you're gonna get swept up in it.
Want to go back to 1992, my first ever appearance on nightline.
It happened to be a discussion of global warming with um Al Gore.
This was before he was vice president.
This he was uh this is February 4th of 1992.
Ted Koppel.
Joining us is Senator Al Gore, whose new new book is Earth in the Lurch, Earth in the Balance, and Rush Limbaugh, whose syndicated radio shows heard around the country.
There is Senator Gore Goring growing feeling, I don't want to say it represents anything approaching a majority yet, but a growing feeling that sometimes the environmentalists are putting the spotted owl and the snail darter ahead of human beings.
We now face a global ecological crisis that is more serious than anything human civilization has ever faced.
And there's a problem of scale here to discuss uh the friction in the passage and implementation of some of the laws on the local environment, and to weigh at the same time that against this unprecedented global crisis, I think presents uh a problem of scale.
This is 17 years ago, folks.
Unprecedented.
In fact, uh the the politico today has a story ripping the Obama administration for using the word unprecedented about everything that they do.
This poor guy from India, this 77-year-old leader of India, he gets to come to Washington.
He has to sit there and be insulted by this 48-year-old man child.
Well, such an honor for you.
my first guest.
First date dinner.
How about that?
And then the Indian Prime Minister learns that his glorious state dinner is being held in a pitched tent outside.
He could have stayed home for that.
And now back to me and Al Gore on nightline.
I showed no fear going up against a U.S. Senator, even when Gore said I was lying.
Coppel said, Rush, I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know.
You tend, I don't want to say you dismiss all these issues, but at least you dismiss them as having been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
There is not a crisis.
See, this is the problem I have.
I don't think the Earth is fragile.
I don't think the ecology is fragile balanced, and I think that the doomsday industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood acting community who say we've only got 10 years left to save our planet, we've got to act now.
There's no way if what these people say is true that we could solve these problems in ten years anyway.
Everything in this country today seems to be a crisis.
We can't do anything without it having to face it as a crisis.
We don't have any time to think about it.
There are as many scientists, maybe even more, on the opposite side of all of these doomsday predictions.
And I think that they need to be listened to as yet.
Oh, yes, there are.
Oh, yes, there are.
That's not true.
That's not true.
See, the consensus argument was forming even then.
Now, as you as you listen to this, I want to tell you one thing that happened after this show.
Uh actually two things happened because of this show.
But the one I'll tell you about right now, remind me about the other one, snurdly.
What happened was when I got home, I checked my email at night and the next day, and I got ripped to shreds by scientists on my side of the issue for letting Gore get away with that argument or this argument or that argument.
And then they said, Why'd they have you on?
You're not a scientist.
Gore's out there spouting a bunch of phony science, and you're not even talking on the same.
I and I I wrote back and I said the next day on the radio, this is exactly how this issue is going to have to be approached.
Because it's not about science.
I told them that back in 1992.
It's not about science.
It's about a political tactic crisis and guilt spreading, all designed to raise taxes and get people to willingly give up their freedom under the guise that they have caused this destruction that's going to wipe us all out in a few short years if they don't submit to tax increases and a loss of freedom.
And this is um this is why it's this has been a pet peeve issue of mine.
It's one of my foundational issues uh in fact defining my whole world view.
Let's keep going with this.
We just heard Gore say that's not true, and I said, Yeah, oh yes, there are.
Al Gore then said this.
The question of whether or not the earth is fragile.
Are we, as human beings, now capable of doing serious damage to the global environment?
That's really the key difference.
Do you think we are?
Yes, I think so.
I think three things have changed in our lifetimes, incidentally.
Number one, the population explosion now adds the entire population of China every ten years.
Number two, we've got new technologies we never had before, like chlorofluorocarbons, which magnify our impact on the earth.
Just as nuclear weapons transformed warfare, these thousands of new technologies that magnify our ability to exploit the earth, change our relationship to the earth.
So Koppel then said, now, Rush Limbaugh, we've both run into politicians during our careers and know how to fake it on an issue.
I don't know of anybody up on Capitol Hill who is more knowledgeable on the subject of the environment than Al Gore.
You have to take seriously what he says.
The environmental movement, as fueled by the militants who lead it, I think is the new home of socialism.
I think it is they've adopted a constituency here which can't speak.
That is trees and rocks and so forth, and can't reject the so-called help and concern that the advocates are giving it.
And it gives them a stage from which to constantly launch attacks at capitalism.
If you listen to what Senator Gore said, it is man-made products which are causing the ozone depletion.
Yet Mount Pinatubo has put 570 times the amount of chlorine into the Atmosphere in one eruption than all of man-made chlorofluorocarbons in one year.
And uh the ultraviolet radiation measured on this country's surface since 1974 has shown no increase whatsoever.
1992 is 17 years ago.
The other thing that happened was most of my life, my father thought he had failed because I didn't go to college.
And I quit ballroom dance.
And I quit college because I was forced to take ballroom dance, and my mother took my car away from me and drove me to ballroom dance class every night.
So it's not for me.
I moved to Sacramento.
I'm starting my radio career.
Throughout my radio career, my dad never understood where I was going.
Uh he didn't see the value in playing Donnie Osman records uh on the on the radio.
Uh and then he certainly didn't understand the value of playing Knights in White Satin uh by the Moody Blues every 54 minutes, as I had to do in Pittsburgh.
As a DJ not in charge of my destiny.
At any rate, finally got Sacramento in 1988, but he couldn't hear me in Sacramento.
That's where my success track began.
So I uh 1984, 1988 national program starts, his hearing loss accelerated.
He never got to hear me on radio.
He could not hear, he had to listen to everybody tell him what was going on.
The first time that he heard me on any such show was that nightline show.
And in the first commercial break, my dad turned to my mother, my mother told me the story.
Dad turned to my mother and said, Millie, because remember, I was didn't go to college.
I'm not supposed to know anything.
He said, Millie?
Where did he learn that?
And she told me that she turned to him and said, From you, silly.
And I wrote about the incident in uh in one of my books, which incidentally both sold two and a half million copies, and my second one sold two million copies in about six weeks.
That seems to have been forgotten in the recent frenzy tabulating book sales back in a moment.
I just got the uh most curious email.
Guy writes, Rush, how did you have email in 1992?
Uh I had emailed back in the late 80s.
Um I I got my first computer in 1985.
It was an Apple IIC.
And I stepped up uh used ProDOS as the operating system.
I stepped up to a Macintosh when I can afford one, and I I got a CompuServe account uh when I was working in Sacramento out in the uh late 80s, 1986 or 87, and started reading news wires and so forth online on my uh on my even when I had the Apple IIC uh and had CompuServant and had email, and I was I was talking to people on the internet at the time before it before you needed browsers.
There wasn't a browser.
The internet was just a military and scientific tool that that's that's who was using it.
Uh that Al Gore invented, uh by the way.
Uh and so that's I mean, I've had email.
I mean, when when they first started doing stories about me, ladies and gentlemen, they referred to me as the most connected with his audience host out there because uh of I was trailblazer in so many ways.
People have forgotten.
To the phones, we have Eric uh from the Washington area.
Hello, Eric, great to have you here.
Hi, Russ, how are you?
Fine, thanks much.
Good.
Uh just want to say thanks uh for taking my call, first time caller.
Uh and I am currently active duty military, been in the military for about eight years.
And I appreciate you putting out the story about uh my three brothers uh being charged with assault.
They're not blood brothers, they're brothers that you know I've served with.
Um the eight years I've been in the military, I've supported naval special warfare for the majority of it.
Uh and am familiar and have worked with these guys uh for the the better part of the last year and a half directly that uh were involved in that operation for a September.
Um it strikes me with nothing but fear as as to what's taking place and we saw it uh three years ago with the situation in Hadita.
Uh we're so constrained now by the rules of engagement uh in Iraq and if and Afghanistan, everywhere else that we conduct these quote unquote overseas operation.
Um this guy was uh fighting us, and uh the uh SEALs used the absolute force they deemed necessary to subdue him to take him into custody so that could be turned over to the Iraqis.
A fat lip, a bloody lip for a guy who murdered four Blackwater people, hung them over a bridge and burned their bodies.
Folks, if you want to see the pick if you want to see how horrible this incident was, Debbie Schlossel and her blog has pictures I warn you before going and looking at them, pictures of the militants celebrating the deaths, and they and the corpses are still hanging over the bridge here.
And the guy that did it was captured by these three SEALs and bloodied up a little bit.
And now they're being charged criminally.
I don't know how you guys keep doing what you do.
First, they charge you uh uh by reputation with rape in Hadithah, and you got members of Congress joining Matt.
They charge you and make you out to be torturers.
You're out there defending freedom and liberty, you sign up, you're enlisted, and you're under assault by your own country.
I don't know how you do what you do.
And that's the other thing that that absolutely irritates me with this is that it's the operators that are being charged with assault and not, you know, the officers aren't taking the fall for it.
Uh just like we saw in in Abu Ghraib, the enlisted took the the fall for that despite uh I mean, and Abu Ghraib was not correct.
And that's another thing I want to make clear in this is you know, the alleged assault that took place was as the team was on target and preparing to capture or kill this guy, uh, and and they could have killed him, but they chose to, you know, take him into custody despite him fighting them.
Eric, Eric, can you hang on?
I got a commercial break.
Can you hang on?
Yeah, Russ.
I hope they merandized this guy before they punched him.
And we are back with Eric uh from the Washington, D.C. area, who is a uh a Navy SEAL.
You I we had to stop you for a commercial break.
You were explaining what happened at uh in Abu Grab how the uh the officer corps somehow found the way to exempt themselves from any blame or punishment.
Yeah, exactly.
And and real quick, just I am not a SEAL.
Uh never have been any SEAL.
I'm active duty military, and my job is to support naval special warfare.
I support SEALs.
So that I'm an intelligence analyst, I'm not a SEAL.
Ah.
But um, no, and and that's and that's the thing is you know, these guys are gonna end up taking the fall for it.
I I don't think it will.
I don't think they will take the fall for it, but they didn't do anything wrong, and even the and the officer leadership, they didn't do anything wrong.
It's it's wait a minute.
Uh we're living in two different universes here.
These guys are in a war.
They're on a battlefield.
They are up against an enemy which has murdered four Americans, and they're charged as criminals for punching a guy and giving him a bloody lip in the middle of a war.
And another thing is, you know, look at the guy that killed Mike Montsor, Medal of Honor recipient who actually went through the same survival, he was in the same survival class as I was.
I had the very fortunate pleasure of knowing Mike Montor.
And uh that guy's still on the streets in Iraq and the Iraqi government's not doing much to to help us in and getting him off the streets.
But if you know he is captured, uh be prepared for some street justice to come on that.
And you know what?
Things happen, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that because he killed one of our brothers.
Actually, uh 2007, I lost my best friend, Stephen Daugherty, who is the first naval intelligence professional killed since September eleventh.
And thankfully the guy that uh killed him was killed during the course of that uh because it was an IED uh on the way back.
But anyways, you know, it's it's it's the is the leadership leadership needs to step out in front of this, and and right now I'm calling on Secretary Gates to stand up and and and get rid of this situation, and I'm and I'm calling on uh the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command to to absolutely defuse this because what about the commander in chief?
Well, uh I don't hold much faith in him, but I better watch my words on that so I don't get charged with treason or mutiny.
But um and I'd also like to say right now, you know, you were talking a little bit about Afghanistan earlier.
Uh it's absolutely unsatisfactory that President Obama, and I use that term loosely president, uh had took so much time to quote unquote debate the situation.
Uh they've made General McChrystal, who I used to work for and very deeply admire.
Uh they made General McCristol the front man on this, where you know, General Petraeus is subordinate to not only the president or General McCrystal is not only subordinate to the president, but he's also subordinate to General McUh Petraeus as the commander of U.S. Central Command.
Why where is General Petraeus been in all this?
Uh and I and I'm calling on just so that he can save faith.
General McCrystal should resign before he takes the blame for President Obama's failure.
Uh and the Republic needs to hold President Obama accountable for uh what's going on in the Afbac region uh and not General McChrystal.
I have uh full faith that uh that being held to account will occur uh at some point down the road at the ballot box.
I do too, Russ.
I do too.
Well, Mike, I'm I'm glad or Eric, I'm sorry, I'm glad you called and uh uh it it's I I gotta tell you it's thrilling to hear you say what you said.
I can imagine the frustration people like you go through every day when you see this happen to your brothers, as you say.
And watching what happened in Abu Grab and the stuff down at uh Guantanamo Bay and and now the uh the whole notion that you're rapists, thugs, and torturers is an image that has been purposely crafted.
Uh to discredit the U.S. military.
It has been purposely crafted by the Democrat Party.
Exactly.
And I can tell you right now the sentiment amongst the intelligence community, because not only am I, you know, in the military, but I'm also an intelligence professional.
Uh and the consensus among amongst the intelligence community is proceed with caution because you don't know what's gonna happen uh down the road to you basically who's gonna see your analysis isn't gonna be made public and are you gonna be chastised for it?
Uh so everybody's proceeding with caution and which means the United States is on defense.
It well, everybody's on defense right now, uh in the Department of Defense, unfortunately, and uh you know it's unfortunate and I wish that you know I I didn't agree with every I was a supporter of President Bush.
I didn't agree with everything he did, but you know, one thing's for sure, he was a leader and uh our current commander in chief uh by far lacks leadership uh characteristics and abilities.
Eric, thanks for the call.
Great Russell.
Great, great to have you here and happy Thanksgiving.
All right, happy Thanksgiving to you.
You bet.
That's Eric from Parts Unknown in Washington, a naval intelligence officer.
Ladies and gentlemen, during that call, show prep never stops good.
During that call, I received an email from uh the editrix of my newsletter, the most widely read uh political newsletter in the country, it's called a Limbaugh Letter.
And it appears that the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has put out a cheat sheet for Democrats to be able to refute things they've heard me say while they gather with their families at Thanksgiving.
Uh our editrix has signed up on their email list, so she gets everything they send out.
Diana, if your family is anything like our families, turkey and stuffing won't be the only thing being served up this year at Thanksgiving.
Sooner or later, that one Republican relative we all have sitting at the other end of the table, is gonna bring up politics.
To make sure you're ready, we wanted to bring you our special Thanksgiving edition of at stake, the Thanksgiving cheat sheet.
Just in case your Republican friends are relatives, at Thanksgiving try to repeat anything they've heard from Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin.
We wanted to help you respond with the truth.
Download our exclusive Thanksgiving cheat sheet to ensure that you are ready to respond with the real facts should any Republicans at your Turkey Day feasts try to do their best, Rush Limbaugh impersonation.
Now that the House has passed health insurance reform, they go on and uh help us fight back.
It's they put it out.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee puts it out.
They send it out to people on their mailing list.
You can sign up.
Uh it's it's it's it's a the donors or potential donors.
And uh Diana, who edits the newsletter, signed herself up and she gets it called At Stake.
What's at stake this week?
Now I haven't had chance to open the PDF file or to download the actual cheat sheet.
I don't know if you have to pay for that.
I don't know if you if you have to donate for it, but at the end, it's don't contribute now.
Uh send to a friend and so forth.
I have I'll check it out here during commercial timeout.
And uh see see what it's see what it's all about.
Uh Greg in North Carolina.
I'm great to have you on the phone here, sir.
Welcome to EIB network.
Hi Mr. Limba, how are you?
Fine, sir.
Good.
I just wanted to call and uh kind of give a little more insight on this SEAL team situation.
I was in the teams for twenty years.
I have multiple decade military service and uh came in not long after Vietnam.
I also worked for Blackwater for a few years in Iraq, and know one of the guys that was killed at Fallujah quite well.
But anyways, the point I'm going to get at here is that I think there's quite a bit of evidence that this is kind of a backwash from the situation of a couple months ago when the SEAL operators rescued Captain Phillips off the coast of Somalia.
You may recall that situation.
Yes, I do.
Well, the truth behind that situation is that the SEAL operators were kept off the scene for well over 36 hours.
There was a lot of foot dragging by the police.
uh commander in chief's uh people on letting them in the theater after they were in theater and in place they were given a very restrictive ROE rules of engagement the ROE was so restrictive that really they couldn't engage their targets there were two previous opportunities to rescue Captain Phillips and uh they were not allowed to take those opportunities.
Let me stop you here because people may not know.
We're talking Somali pirates.
We're talking the Maersk cargo ship that a bunch of Somali pirates, teenagers, took over.
And one of them eventually died.
And the media credited Obama.
Honest to God, folks, the media credited Obama with giving the order to pull the trigger.
Now you may resume the story, sir.
Okay.
Well, anyways, when they finally did engage the hostiles, they did it liberally interpreting the ROE.
And the on-site commander finally was kind of fed up with the situation and gave them a weapons-free command.
And they were able to engage and then rescue Captain Phillips.
The fallout from that was immediate and rather violent in its anger.
The White House people, I don't know the president himself.
I just know their representatives with the chain of command were absolutely lost.
livid with this and they did not want the rescue to uh be conducted in the way that it was I you know I cannot prove this because I would have to give names and I'm not given names for obvious reasons but the bottom line is is that on you know very good solid inside information the national command authority um passed the Pentagon was not happy.
So let me cut to the chase here.
So what the what I what I think I hear you saying is the blowback that you mentioned is this is payback for the SEALs violating the ROE on this captain of the Marisk and this is the this is the uh chain of command reasserting itself uh uh letting everybody know who's boss and what's going to happen to you if you don't follow orders.
Um that is uh my rather experienced opinion and and frankly the opinion of others uh I live very close to the special operations community here in North Carolina and you know they're uh that opinion is uh surfacing um these people are very vindictive and you have to understand Mr. Limbaugh uh you're very um pro military and you're you always say wonderful things about our people in service and you know we we greatly appreciate it but
I do have to say this and I'd like to make this one point and I've had two sons by the way my my two eldest sons have done multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The the military of today is not the military that fought World War II.
It is not even the military that fought the first Gulf War.
It is a military that has been thoroughly uh politicalized it is a military that is suffering the fallout of Patricia Schroeder's ridiculous politically correct policies that still have great um uh power and sway in the military.
And I just gonna have to tell you, I I do not mean to impugn the junior personnel in the military, the the the line troops, the junior officers, I'm not talking about these people.
These people are doing a fine job, and they're outstanding people.
But the senior ranking, the civilian and senior ranking military personnel are thoroughly indoctrinated and on board with this politically correct agenda that is in the military.
I'll tell you the most recent example of a glaring example, was General Casey, more concerned about the diversity in his army than the loss of life at Fort Hood.
Uh General Casey, sir, and Wesley Clark are not the exceptions in the upper echelons.
They are the rule.
Those are the kind of the men that are running the show, and they will throw the junior personnel under the bus to save their um re to save themselves every time.
And that is my opinion.
Uh, and I, you know, I again I don't mean to to impugn any of the junior personnel.
We know what you mean.
We're not we we know exactly what you mean.
Okay.
We we've we've yeah, everything's been politically corrected, uh chickified, if you will.
Uh that's one of the things I call it.
Uh can you hold on for a break?
Certainly.
I I want you to explain to people what you mean.
I know I think I know what you mean by Patsy Schroeder stuff, tail hook and all that, but I w I won what you explain exactly what you mean by that, because I'm sure you've got uh a lot of people curious.
We'll be back right after this brief time out.
Welcome back.
We rejoin our call with Greg uh from parts unknown in North Carolina, former member of the Navy SEAL team, two sons, uh served two tours each in uh Iraq and Afghanistan.
What was it that Pat Schroeder did when she was a member of Congress in Colorado?
Well, I guess the question would be what didn't she do?
She was very influential in um uh passing legislation and and pressure putting pressure on the the military to um basically and fundamentally feminize the the military.
Um I can speak most clearly about the Navy because that was my experience at the time, especially when our Admiral Kelso, who was the CNO at the time kind of completely caved in after Kel Tailhook and started instituting things like putting females on men of war, uh uh having the mixed uh training companies in uh boot camp and the like.
And the uh uh what Patricia Schroeder did was with a uh really rather small cabal of very ambitious military officers who, by the way, violated military rules and regulations by uh uh uh uh uh petitioning in uniform on Capitol Hill for these changes, uh, but nobody seemed to notice that.
Um were able to pass a lot of regulations through the the Navy and uh the other branches that have frankly incorporated women into areas of the military where being old fashioned, um I do not believe that they uh belong.
And this has caused uh numerous problems uh throughout the military.
Um beyond that, um I'm not exactly sure what else you would like me to add.
No, I just I that's I thought that's what you were talking about.
I wanted people to hear you say it.
Um uh Pat Schroeder was uh uh very liberal, huge feminist, and I wanted you to say the feminization.
Uh my word for it is chicken, but it's happening throughout the culture, it's happening throughout uh the media as well.
Uh and it's it's it's turning people soft and touchy-feely and so forth.
Uh, and there's no room for I know what you mean there's no room for that on the battlefield.
Um there there is none.
And um I I'm very concerned about the future of our our nation's military when we do get in, and I again I do not mean to minimize the dangers that our military personnel are facing in this war.
However, um uh it isn't a full-scale knockdown drag out between conventional fighting forces.
And i I do I am concerned that if we ever do uh engage in that sort of warfare again, and I think it's ultimately inevitable, Um I'm afraid that our military is not in the place where it needs to be.
Meaning.
I mean, it's this is scary.
Meaning they're not committed to victory, that there are other things which take precedence.
Absolutely, sir.
And frankly, there's a a billion Chinamen that are becoming uh more and more bellicose by the day, um, are being armed at our expense and with our expertise, and are becoming a growing threat by the day.
Um, and uh I I probably wouldn't worry about Obama charmed him on that trip over there.
Yes, I bowed down and I I saw that as he bowed to their prime minister as well.
Greg, I gotta go.
I'm out of time, sadly, but it's uh it's it's wonderful that you got through.
Uh Thanksgiving blessing, this audience got to hear you today.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much, Mr. Limbaugh.
We'll be back after this.
My friends, one of the most famous lines ever uttered by Patsy Schroeder was, I have a vagina and I know how to use it.
And I replied, I have a brain, and I have a penis, and I only have to use half of either.
Tailhook.
Tailhook did.
That taught every officer to advance.
You gotta be PC.
That's uh another liberal legacy.
