Time Text
The views expressed by the host on the show documented to be almost always right, 99.7% of the time.
It's a thrill and delight to be with you.
It's great to have you here.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program, we'll get the phone calls in this hour.
800-282-288-2.
And excuse me.
And the email address is L Rushbow at EIB net com.
I have a couple more Romney's here.
Well, I got one more Romney here, and then I've got sound bites of Chris Christie with uh with Obama.
I'm not gonna play them.
Uh I don't know why.
Why g no, it's just that's why give the guy a plug.
Well, do you want to hear them?
You just you just you just you want to stir the crap is all you want to do.
Here's uh here's one more Romney in Roanoke, Virginia.
This wraps up the sound bites that we have in his speech this morning that I thought was I was upbeat.
It was it was the uh the the aura about the speech was one confidence.
Um I got the impression he really thinks he's gonna win, and I don't get that impression when I listen to Obama.
That's just me, and I'm not trying to predict the outcome of anything.
That's just me sharing with you my thoughts of the moment.
This isn't the time for small measures.
This is a time for greatness.
This is a time for big change, for real change.
And that's why, just as your next senator said, this is a time where from day one he's gonna make changes.
I'm gonna make real changes.
I'm gonna get this economy going from day one we're making changes.
Okay, so that was Romney's in Roanoke today.
We're uh uh a Roanoke poll, in fact, has him up five in the state of Virginia.
But again, I want to go back.
There's two polling groups that have pulled out of Virginia, one of them months ago, well, a month ago, saying that it's over in Virginia and Florida and North Carolina.
Suffolk polling pulled out.
It's over there.
We're not gonna spend any more money.
Another poll poll pulled out of Florida yesterday or the day before.
But the drive-by's continue to poll these states, obviously.
And the drive-by's continue to put out polling data.
It's tied, it's Obama here, Obama there, Romney there.
Nobody knows.
That's why I say it's a turnout election now.
It really is a turnout election.
I got a I was reading something today from uh, and all of this is anecdotal.
I'm almost reluctant to pass this kind of stuff on because it does you you can't say that it it means anything nationally, but it's still interesting to hear.
A college professor sent a note, I think it was to National Review.
Uh but it might have been red state.
Some other blog.
The college professor said, you know, the students in my classes this year are they could not care less about this election.
Versus the students in my class four years ago.
This year, they don't care.
They're not, they're not even paying much attention to it.
And in a turnout election, if that means anything, if that does, if if that ever could be extrapolated and said to have some scientific relationship students across the country, it's not good for Obama.
But you just don't know.
Here's a story from the Washington Times by Ralph Hallow.
The uh headline analysts say polls point to Romney triumph, a title wave of anti-debt, anti-big government voters that swamped Democrats in a 2010 congressional elections, is readying itself again, poised to sweep Romney in the Oval Office.
John McLaughlin, a Republican campaign pollster who's working with Dick Morris, said it's very, very likely.
He's predicting a Romney tsunami on Tuesday.
And he said Romney surged in all the target states.
The undecided votes not really undecided.
They're overwhelmingly disapproving of the job the president has done.
That's why they're undecided, and they will largely vote against the incumbent.
It's a hidden vote that will vote against the president.
This John McGlachlin, a recognized Republican polster, again working with Dick Morris.
He says this undecided vote really has made up their minds, and it's anti-Obama.
The question is do they show up or not?
really what it's going to come down to.
The undecided may not vote, or they may.
But they are undecided because they're not voting for Obama.
That's what undecided at this stage always mean.
They always break a vast majority of them break against the incumbent.
Now there's also one of the oh, what is the other point about the uh listen?
Well, it'll come to me.
But the the next story uh is about is from Dan Henniger today in the Wall Street Journal, Romney's secret.
Oh, I know what it was.
It's all about some people have analyzed what the Obama strategy is, and they're trying, and I think they're right about this.
What the Romney, I'm sorry, the Obama, what the Obama campaign team is doing is trying to recreate 2008.
The turnout.
They're trying to recreate that coalition of support.
And in the process, the analysts are saying that the mistake the Obama people are making is to ignore what happened in 2010.
I have to tell you, folks, I think everybody's ignoring 2010, except me.
I think 2010 matters big time.
Now the experts, the analysts, consultants, experts, and I'm not one of those.
I mean, I'm not a political professional, I'm a professional real radio announcer.
But 2010 was huge.
That's the Tea Party.
That's average Americans fed up, getting involved for the first time in their lives over debt and the growing size of government and what it means to their kids.
And they've not gone anywhere.
And they're just as upset now as they were in 2010.
And I think any campaign that thinks that has died out, or that that doesn't matter because it was a midterm election and presidential races are different.
And they are.
There's no candidate in the 2010 midterms, which I think is even worse for Obama.
These are people coming out against ideas, which is what we want.
I mean, if you get into politics 101 or civics 101, we've always when you first start learning about this stuff, the thing that you're taught is that the best ideas win.
It's only later that you learn how the business gets corrupted and how money matters and votes are purchased and there's fraud and deceit and all that kind of stuff.
But in the in the clean baby-like infant world, when you're first learning, you think ideas.
Well, that's what was great about 2010.
That was an ideas election.
And it was Obama's ideas being rejected, and Obama himself being it rejected, and it was a huge landslide defeat for the Democrats.
And they are choosing to ignore that.
They think it doesn't matter.
They're trying to recreate what happened in 2008 without considering what happened in 2010.
Now, this is why some of the analysts on our side are predicting a big Romney win.
But 2010 does matter.
It really happened.
And it was devastating for the Democrats.
And it's not done one thing but get worse since then.
Hadn't gotten any better.
The spending has gone up, the debt has gotten larger, family income has shrunk, unemployment has gone up, poverty level has uh has gone up.
The number of people on food stamps almost double.
I mean, it's it's from 2008.
It's a disaster out there.
And I think people that just run a right 2010 off as an anomaly, which is what Obama's doing, and that's the essence of wishful thinking, if you ask me.
That's the avoidance of reality, if you ask me.
To sweep 2010 away, doesn't mean it because it wasn't a presidential race and there weren't any candidates.
Now you have candidates out there, national candidates, and they're Romney and Obama, that's gonna change the way people vote as uh as opposed to where they vote in midterms.
We shall see.
But 2010 was an uprising in this country against Obama and everything he stands for, and an uprising against the Democrat Party.
Now I can understand why they'd want to try to pretend it didn't happen, because these people create these little bubbles of reality in which they live, and anything that challenges it they don't let in.
And Daniel Henninger today, Wall Street Journal, Romney's secret voting block.
I love this.
I love this because I think this is true as well.
He starts out this way.
You've heard about Mitt Romney's problems with the women vote.
You've heard about Mitt Romney's problem with the black vote.
You've heard about Mitt Romney's problem with the Hispanic vote.
You've uh heard about Mitt Romney's problem with the Union vote, and you've heard about Mitt Romney's problem with the young Democrat vote.
But there is one major voting group that has fallen off the map since the primaries that nobody's talking about.
Nobody is referencing them.
Nobody is factoring them.
Snerdley off the top of your fertile mind.
Do you nope, not white males.
White males might be a subgroup of this group, but it's not what Henniger is talking about.
The evangelical vote.
The uh what would you call them?
What the religious right, the value voter, or as they would say at Planned Parenthood, the damn pro-lifers.
And some moderate Republicans would say, oh, damn pro-lifers.
But they're not being counted on.
They're not being polled.
They're not being factored.
They're not considered a constituency.
And I'll tell you the story again.
You've heard this story, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna tell it again because tune-in factor here you wouldn't believe each week the number of people tuning into this program for the first time.
Twenty-five years.
I was at a big bash of establishment Republican donors and fundraisers and a cabinet secretary in the early 90s in the Hamptons.
And after dinner, and I've only been doing the show by that time four years or so, so I'm still really still green.
But I'm still really naive in a lot of ways.
I'm, for example, think that we're all Republicans, we're all on the same team.
And this one guy who you would know if I were to ever announce his name came up to me on the deck after dinner and started poking me in the chest with the index finger and said to me, What are you gonna do about the Christians?
And I quite naturally taken aback, I don't know what it was talking about because he was mad.
I said, What are you talking about?
That damn abortion.
We're never gonna win a damn election.
As long as those people are considered prominent in our party.
It never gonna happen.
I could turn women off every damn day.
We're never gonna get rid of them.
And I looked at him and said, you know, there are 24 million votes, you wouldn't be winning any election without them.
And then he said, All right, I'm just kidding, I'm just I'm just having a little fun with you.
And maybe part of it was.
But I've always known since then that at certain levels of Republican establishment there is a deep fear of these people, because they're embarrassing to go to the convention with, and they're considered single-issue voters, and it's uh their wives are all feminists and don't like these people, and it's they get nagged about it.
But the point is, they are a large part of the Tea Party.
They are a large part of what happened in 2010.
And that's and and the evangelicals, the media hates them, the Democrats hate them, and they tell themselves that they don't matter.
They're just a bunch of really uh dumb, stupid single issue people.
Have you heard any discussion of this voting block in this whole camp?
You haven't, have you?
They are 24 million votes.
They always have been.
And they are way under the radar of the drive-bys.
And uh at least publicly.
I'm sure that Axelrod and Plough and these guys live in mortal fear of them.
They're never going to acknowledge them.
But you see, the media and the Democrats are not interested or even curious to learn anything about these people.
They so despise them and resent them.
and conservatives in general.
Liberals don't even care to understand us.
They just reject.
Same thing with Tea Party people.
They're they're dumb, stupid.
They don't know what they're doing.
They're not professionals.
They're these just average citizens show up at town halls, but they don't know what they're doing.
So there's a there's a uh resentment of them and they're denigrated.
They're impugned and laughed at.
They'll love to report on the Obama agenda, the war on women and uh the gay uh activist vote, blacks, illegals, college students.
But in 22 midterms, 2002 midterms, they got gobsmacked in that mid.
I remember I was at election night coverage with Tom Brokow and Tim Russert, and they had no idea what hit them.
And in the exit polls of the midterms and 22, the value voters came out the number one issue for Republicans to vote in the midterms was values.
Democrat Party values.
And everybody was shocked.
Now, the evangelical vote doesn't vote every year.
They don't vote every election.
They they do.
They are the kind that will sit out elections if their single issue or their if they're top maybe top two issues are not met, it's spending and it's life.
And if if those things are not addressed, they'll sit out rather than but if they show up and vote, they're never accounted for.
And Henniger's piece here is all about there's a whole bunch of them that are going to vote.
In fact, Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, has just fairly recently began to mobilize his flock in uh in this regard.
So he said, what if in Ohio next week?
Let me take a break.
I gotta take a break, otherwise engineers are gonna panic and I'll have big trouble.
So sit tight, I'll pick up right here.
I think it's important to play those uh Romney sound bites.
I might play them again before the program ends.
The reason why you drive by is CNN, by the way, I must have CNN did cover a little bit of Romney today, which I was shocked to see.
The media studiously purposely avoids covering Romney events.
You know why?
The debates.
Romney juxtaposed against Obama cleans up every time people see it.
So they don't show Romney much in the media.
Now, as to the evangelicals.
When Mitt Romney's 2012 candidacy was gaining traction in the primaries, a conventional wisdom instantly conveyed that the evangelical vote would sink him because he's a Mormon.
What if in Ohio next week the opposite is true?
There and in other swing states, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina, Florida, the evangelical vote is flying beneath the radar, the media.
It's a lot of voters not to notice.
In the 28th presidential vote, they were 30% of the vote in Ohio.
They were 31% in Iowa, they were 26% in Wisconsin.
And a lot of them voted for Obama because that bought into this messianic stuff.
But they aren't buying into it anymore.
Once you fail at being Messiah, you don't ever get that back.
I think it's I think this is a little, they are there 24 million, maybe more now.
It was 24 million in the early 90s.
Look at how much of the voting bloc they were in 2008.
30 percent in these states.
Imagine they go for Romney.
And I don't care what poll you look at.
That group is not part of the demographic breakout.
So we shall see.
Let's go to the phone.
Sandy Pittsburgh, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
It's a great honor to speak with you.
You've been my hero for over two decades.
Thank you very much.
Um mine is probably not the most popular first name this week, but I do have a comment and a quick story about red tape in New Jersey.
All right.
Um Obama's promise uh to clear the red tape for the hurricane victims is even worse than you stated, because we're not just talking about normal inefficiencies of government.
Barack Obama is Mr. Red Tape.
If you look at all the roadblocks that he's created when you people deal with the EPA.
I agree.
Exactly.
All that different things that's the irony of all ironies.
I think you're right.
If I hear you right, what you're saying is that Obama is promising to get himself out of the way.
Exactly.
And he's made it so much worse than what it was before the the normal inefficiencies because of his policies.
You didn't build it, so we can control everything you do.
I mean, it is it is a real problem that you know I I think you know you're right on the you didn't build it, we did.
And that's why we get to control it.
We get to regulate you didn't build that, we did.
Exactly.
And health care, people who are dealing with health care.
My brother in law says the paperwork is ridiculous.
Uh everybody knows.
Hey, Sandy, Sandy, you want an iPad?
Would you like an iPhone?
Oh, that would be wonderful.
Which one?
I'm not sure because I I just I just have a regular um computer HP.
So I don't know.
Well, okay, I'll send you an iPad.
Okay.
Send you an iPad.
That I don't care what you have, that'll be a step up.
Hang on, don't go away.
It really is.
It really is the second term of Jimmy Carter in the Northeast, at least specifically.
We get long gasoline lines now.
Long gasoline lines in the Northeast.
Governor Christie, we gotta get gas in here before we do anything.
We need gas.
We're gonna get rid of all the regulations.
Get gasoline in here.
Oh, by the way, Wall Street Journal News Alert.
Right here, my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
And cigars do not leave nicotine stains.
The smoke never gets close enough to your to your hands, so I'm not lying about it.
Here you go.
Con Ed, the utility.
From the wave auric.
Pardon the snippel.
Con Ed says it now expects to restore power to the vast majority of customers by November 10th and 11th, with remaining customers getting power back a week or more later, 18th or 19th.
Con Ed in a press release said that customers who receive power via underground networks are expected to get their power back sooner.
Well, now that's uh two weeks with no power.
How's that going to affect them, Snerdley?
It's good it can't it could potentially be bad.
Two weeks without power.
I mean the expectations are this gets fixed tomorrow.
And I knew you.
New Yorkers, though, they've they've endured blackouts for uh days and so forth.
But that was just a you know, the grid failing somewhere.
This is a different thing.
And Obama didn't go to New York, he went to New Jersey.
He paled around with Christie.
Some say Obama was there, but it's hard hard to t tell, but he was.
One of the things about the evangelicals, they don't talk to pollsters.
They don't talk to you.
Go back to 2008.
The one of the reasons that McCain chose Palin was because the evangelical vote didn't want anything to do with McCain.
And they tried to rally the evangelical vote with the with the selection of pay palin.
didn't quite work.
They they didn't vote in 08.
A lot of them just didn't vote.
Now, this is why the selection of Paul Ryan was inspired.
Ryan is I mean, he's clean and pure as the wind driven snow and he means it.
He's just he's a good boy.
He's a good boy.
And he inspires kind of we can do this.
We can do this, meaning fix this problem.
Well, no, I know they don't talk to Paul.
Go go go talk on tape.
If you don't believe me, you go talk to anybody in a Bush 41 campaign team in in 1988.
1988, not 92.
Go back 1988.
Bush 41 lost Iowa because of the evangelical vote.
And they didn't know it until afterwards.
It helped them eventually.
Back to the phones.
Eric in uh Margate, New Jersey.
Hey, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Great to talk with you again.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Good.
Good.
I talked to you during the oil spill.
Uh back with uh you know the uh back when they're putting the pollutants in.
I wonder how many pollutants are in the water now.
Uh we rode the storm out here, we're doing good.
They're not letting us off the island, though.
I'm my beach is connected, Atlantic City Beach.
What island, what what wait, wait, wait, what island are you on?
Absekee Island.
Seeking Island is divided into four cities, Atlantic City, Ventner, Margate, and Longport.
And the beach goes all the way up to Atlantic City Beach.
Gotcha up there.
But uh I wanted to talk about Chris Christie.
Uh Chris Christie's really for cap and trade, Rush.
He wants to put a wind farm out two and a half miles off Atlantic City.
I don't know if that's still in play after this storm, and plus, he's up for for re-election next year.
So I think this was a real political move on his part yesterday.
Even though there is a lot of devastation here, but uh I didn't understand it at all.
And all these emergency vehicles are trying to get to us here.
Now I'm on the island, and there's nobody here really.
And they're blocking roads for the president and stuff.
I mean uh that's why I think Bloomberg refused him to come up to New York.
Exactly.
Yes.
That's why Bush did not touch down in New Orleans that would gum up everything.
Yeah.
It was a considerate thing to do.
Rosh, I always thought Jersey was in play up until I don't know now.
Because do you remember the tape where they have uh the president and Joe Biden saying uh the first person we called was John Corzine?
Do you remember that when the uh for their advice?
Yeah, I don't I don't remember what specifically they were calling him about.
It was a I think it was about money or something.
It was money.
Yeah, it was money.
Yeah, and what we all laughed about it because I will no no surprise they would call Corzine who stole people's money.
Yeah.
Rush, well, after what he just did and lost a billion dollars.
I mean, the state should have run a tape here that everybody in this state, Republicans and Democrats can't stand John Corzine.
Yeah, I know, but they're taking it.
See, what happens is the Democrats circle the wagons around their failures to protect them because they protect the ideology.
The Democrats take it very seriously.
Look, the Democrats are all liberal, they're all in for it.
So when it for example, when a Dan Rather embarrasses himself with that hoax story, what do they do?
They circle the wagons and give him an award.
A career lifetime achievement award, also that the business that they're in doesn't take a hit.
And with with Corzine, Corzine got caught, you're right, stealing a billion dollars of clients' money.
What do they do?
Circle the wagons, they don't prosecute, they hoist him up, and then they say at the Obama campaign, we need this guy's help because they will not allow a hit to the ideology.
One of the things I have expected in this campaign, and I think it may happen if Obama loses.
I really have been expecting the Democrats to distance themselves and maybe throw Obama overboard in order to save the ideology and not let him take it down with him.
And if he loses, I think after the election, that's what you're gonna see.
Because they can't allow this election to be perceived as their ideas got defeated.
They're going to say if Obama loses, that he lost because he didn't care.
He didn't campaign effectively.
He didn't make people think he wanted a second term.
He really didn't get in the game.
He didn't show up in that first debate.
They cannot permit the idea to settle in that Obama lost because his ideas stink, because his policy stink.
They cannot allow that.
This is what's so this this is why people so mad at Christie.
I know people who think that what Christie did was it it for all intents and purposes endorse Obama.
He did not, he it's if you want the president to come in and you need some money and you and all that for your state in a disaster, you can do that.
But you don't need to go overboard in praising a failed president like Obama the way Christie did.
Now, let me ask you, you are in New Jersey.
Does that help Christie get re-elected as governor?
You tell me.
I in that state.
I'm going to tell you something, Rush.
We have a conservative candidate.
We ran against Christie before in the uh primary.
His name was Steve Lonegan.
He's a blind man, but the man thinks just like you.
I remember.
And if we could get him to run again, I'm going to tell you something.
This man is absolutely fantastic.
And he almost he gave him run for his money, but the six, I don't know.
The established Republicans, it was all it was all about Chris Christie.
So if we can get him to run again, I don't know.
Maybe we can give a run from his money.
This man is so conservative.
I I don't know.
I don't know if he's going to get re-elected or not, because the teachers are all against him here at Christie.
Well, you know.
It's maybe, you know, I've I'm hearing all kinds of people say that the reason Christie did this is that he really wants to run for president 2016, and he can't do that if Romney gets elected.
I mean, there are people on the Republican side who actually think that.
I mean, that if if that's what people think, Christie has really orchestrated a major plunge here.
If if this action of his has caused some in the Republican Party to think that he purposely undermined the nominee this year for his own benefit, 2016.
And I know that there are Republicans that think that because I've talked to them.
Well, they I don't talk to anybody, I get emails, but still.
That's that's uh that's devastating.
I uh uh and then the idea that that uh what he effectively did, I heard this too when I got up today.
My email inbox was loaded with people.
See, yesterday, when this program ended, Christie and Obama had not yet held any meaningful joint appearance, so there was nothing to really react to other than his over-the-top request for Obama.
But after the program in it, they got together and Christie started praising Obama to the hilt, and Obama started praising Christie and how neither of them care about politics, it's all about the people.
And I think fuses were lit, and my inbox this morning was smoking.
But my iPhone was burning up.
And it was from Republicans who said that they'd exercised restraint yesterday, but they were taking the gloves off today.
And they also told me how they loved my Greek column comments.
But that's neither here nor there.
So it's it's I don't know.
It's been disappointing to a lot of people.
Put it that way.
I gotta take a break.
I'm glad you called out there uh Eric.
Best of luck to you on the island, and we'll be back.
The views expressed by the host on this program still documented to be almost always right, 99.7% of the time.
Frankly, I thought that it would have been bumped up uh on a couple of things.
I can't remember what they are now.
One of them I really nailed, and I thought, asked for a special audit.
But still 99.7.
Hey, you gotta be right so many times, so long.
It's a long period of bumping up a tenth of a point.
Once you're that close to being almost always right all the time, it's tough.
Denver Mayor Hancock in Wisconsin says Obama getting beat in early voting.
It's the Denver Post, ladies and gentlemen.
Denver mayor, Michael Hancock has been busy pushing for the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama.
Mm-mm-mm.
He was in Milwaukee on Sunday.
He broke news on that Wisconsin trip.
He told voters that if the election were held that day, last Sunday, that Obama would lose Wisconsin and the ten electoral votes.
Michael Hancock, a Denver of mayor, told a crowd that Wisconsin could be lost if Democrats didn't get out the early vote.
Early vote started uh on October 22nd in Wisconsin.
We've not turned out the vote early, Hancock told a newspaper, suburbs and a rural parts of Wisconsin, the base, Republican base.
They're the ones voting.
Obama's base hadn't shown up yet in the early vote.
We got to get our people out.
Three days ago.
Did Hancock make it back to Denver?
Has anybody seen him?
Sorry, wrong button.
I haven't seen Hancock since that, but but um he told the newspaper the early voting in Wisconsin for Obama just isn't there.
I know it doesn't jive with any of the polling data you're saying, does it?
It just doesn't it doesn't jive.
You don't know what to believe.
Larry in Kansas City, Missouri, there is no Kans City, Kansas.
That's a myth, I know.
Uh welcome to the program.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
May mega dittoes.
And I've been listening since the early 90s.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Can't tell you how honored I am to be talking to you.
Well, I'm glad you made it through.
Well, thank you.
It I'd like to switch the discussion over to Benghazi just for a second.
If you don't please do.
That's outrageous, too.
What we learned about that yesterday.
Oh, it's uh it just is gut-wrenching.
But it is my opinion that Hillary wasn't falling on her sword when she invoked the phrase, the buck stops here.
What I believe is that she was actually standing up with all the dignity she could muster and taping a sign on Barack Obama's back that said the buck really stops with this guy.
Why?
She did she didn't say that.
So why why are you interpreting that?
Well, she did say that uh the buck stopped on Benghazi, the buck stops with her, and it was the very next debate that Barack Obama was forced to say that he takes full responsibility for Benghazi.
Because I think everybody knows that when you say the buck stops somewhere, it's supposed to stop with the president.
Yeah.
And I really believe, honestly, that that whole phraseology comes from Bill Clinton.
Because I think that was his way to get back at Barack Obama for pulling the race card on him.
Well, that's I I have I have would love nothing more than for that to be true.
But that we have to admit now that's a stretch.
Well, it may be, but uh, I do think that what she was doing by accepting responsibility was when they were looking for responsibility, she stood up and took one step back.
Well, I think what's going on, I think the Clintons are consulting with lawyers.
Because this is going to get investigated after the election.
All the rocks are going to be turned over on this.
And there's gonna be hell to pay for this.
Folks, you you can't just what we know now, that there's gonna be a price to be paid.
And I and I think Bill and Hillary got together with some lawyers and they sent her out there.
She did not take responsibility for what happened.
She said that she accepts that the security of the consulate and the embassies is her responsibility.
People, okay, so she's falling on the sword for for Barry.
But she did not specifically take responsibility for allowing the attack to happen.
She did not specifically say that.
Now, what we have learned, Catherine Haridge is the latest reporter at Fox.
It was Jennifer Griffin on Friday, Catherine Harridge yesterday, she found a cable from the ambassador himself, Chris Stevens from August.
The cable went to Obama.
It went to everybody.
It went to the state.
It went to everybody.
They all saw it.
The cable said that Al Qaeda was a massing.
Al Qaeda, which Obama said today in Green Bay again, Al-Qaeda is in retreat.
What is term?
Al Qaeda is on the run.
And Osama bin Laden is dead.
Well, in September, there's a cable.
Our ambassador, Al Qaeda is amassing.
And they are preparing for an attack, and he requested security.
He got nothing.
There wasn't one request for security that was honored at any time.
A month before, a day before, and the seven hours of the attack, there was not one request that was honored for help during the attack, security beforehand.
Not one was honored.
Even though it was known that it was Al Qaeda planning an attack, and that it was Al-Qaeda that carried out the attack.
Everybody knew and still maintained it was the video.
I got to take a break.
Wish I didn't because there's more to say here.
But there's still an hour left to go.
It is the fastest three hours in media, and two of them for today are in the can.
And on the way over to the Limbaugh Broadcast Museum, we've got one hour left to go, and it's coming right up.
So don't go anywhere.
