	You remember when the ChICOMs told Google, hey, you cannot operate in this country if your search results are gonna show things that are anti-the communist government.
	And Google said, oh, okay, whatever you want, because China's such a big market.
	So Google acquiesced to the Chikoms, right?
	The Chikoms run Google search for the most part.
	I mean, I don't think they control everything, but the point is that Google acquiesced to the Chaicoms right off the bat.
	You think they won't acquiesce to Obama or haven't already?
	I mean, what is this miserable failure as a search term?
	And you get the first thing in the list is George Bush and the Bush White House.
	The searches are already manipulated.
	The results are already manipulated.
	I'm sure they are with global warming and all these other things, which makes it kind of curious here that Google wants to now make this whole thing official by claiming search results are now rooted in fact.
	They want to rank based on on whether they uh think the page contains falsehoods.
	They want to rank based on factual content rather than popularity.
	How popular your your pages.
	That's what most people think a search return is.
	If you ask any question on a search, like it's interesting.
	You know, I my brother asked me today what time does Netanyahu's speech begin tomorrow before Congress, and I didn't know.
	So I thought, you know what?
	I'm gonna find out how these various search options are.
	So I tried Siri on my iPhone.
	I got a list of websites.
	So I went to Google and I put the question what time is Netanyahu's speech before Congress tomorrow.
	I got Huffing and Puffington Post.
	I got CNN.
	I got unit, I got websites all anti-Netanyahu.
	Not one of them told me what time the damn speech was.
	I just got the latest links on the speech from people who were opposed to it.
	No matter what I searched, no matter where I went.
	So I finally said, Snerdly, call Louis Gomert's office.
	Somebody's got to know in there what time it is.
	11 o'clock tomorrow.
	Perfect timing.
	I'm sure that BB got together with Bader and said, Look, I gotta be finished before Rush starts at noon.
	And so that's what's happened here.
	So the Netanyahu speech will be 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, right, right it'll end uh sometime prior to noon when the uh when the program begins here.
	Now here, and by the way if you're if you're if if you're on hold here, you want to talk about this Congress, the Senate, the DHS funding, hang in there.
	We're getting to your call here in just a second.
	We've got the Netanyahu speech at APAC today, which prelude to what's gonna happen tomorrow.
	We got some sound bites about all this and also as well from CPAC.
	And by the way, speaking of CPAC, Byron York, right on schedule, right on schedule, big story on how Scott Walker, he's changing his mind too much.
	Scott Walker may not be making the establishment happy.
	Scott Walker may not have enough finish.
	Scott Walker may be a little too rough around the itch.
	Scott Walker may not be ready for prime time.
	Scott Walker.
	It's fascinating.
	And I'll tell you all these candidates were down here this weekend.
	You had the Club for Growth thing down here at the Breakers at CPAC up.
	These guys are shuttling back and forth.
	And then William Shatner, poor William Shatner.
	William Shatner had to appear at Marilago Saturday night, the Red Cross Ball.
	It is kind of embarrassing.
	I don't want.
	No, I I didn't go.
	I've I've no, no, no, what do you mean?
	No.
	I'm I'm for one thing, you have to be minimum 80, I think.
	You have to have a minimum 25 million dollars in jewels to wear or borrow.
	No, I uh no, no, no, no, no.
	But Shatner, Shatner was a guest thing.
	And you know, Leonard Nimoy died recently, Dr. Spock, and his funeral was yesterday morning in LA.
	And Shatner had agreed to appear at the Red Cross ball here at Palm Beach, Marilago, on Saturday night.
	So Shatner tweeted how sorry he was that he was devoted to this charitable commitment and just couldn't get back in time for Lenny's funeral.
	Lenny is what he called him your friend.
	This resulted in a Twitter outburst of outrage at poor Shatner for not caring about his buddy Nemoy and not having his priority straight.
	So Shatner started tweeting, okay, okay, look, I'm sorry I can't get back.
	I'll tell you, well, gather some friends here, and we will have our collective remembrances here on Sunday for our good friend.
	Well, that didn't fly either.
	So I'm I'm I'm doing show prep today, and all of that there's two pictures of Shatner getting off the plane yesterday morning in LAX, two and a half hours after Nemoy's funeral.
	And you can, he was just being berated.
	Yeah, he came back, but not in time for the funeral.
	I thought about calling Shatner and say, hey, if you really want to get back, EIB 1 is available.
	I was gonna, but I didn't know how to get hold of him.
	And it was too late, and I didn't, it was, it was, you know, I didn't want to put any pressure on him anyway.
	So they just, I wouldn't want to live in that world.
	I wouldn't with this constant paparazzi attention to stuff like that.
	Oh, no, I wouldn't want any part of it.
	No way.
	I wouldn't want any part of that A-list celebrity stuff.
	No way, shape, manner, or form.
	I'm too much of a Rick Lewis, too much of a hermit.
	I wouldn't want any part of that.
	I actually felt, I mean, he was getting beat up.
	You know, he had agreed to go to the Red Cross ball and couldn't get back to Nemoy's funeral.
	And plus the fact that, you know, he runs price line.
	People didn't didn't really accept that he couldn't get a flight on time.
	Poor guy.
	Anyway, what else does there out there?
	Oh, I was just saying, all these candidates are back and forth here this way.
	They're going to Club for Growth here in Palme, zooming back up to CPAC and then coming back down.
	And it was it was a traffic nightmare here yesterday, just trying to give my house at a golf course.
	The garden club had thousands of school buses taking attendees to various houses.
	I mean, it was an absolute nightmare to get anywhere in this town yesterday, because the candidates were hearing and the garden club was running around in Leonard Nimoy's funeral and Bill Shatner trying to get out of town.
	Man.
	Anyway, okay, Washington Times, Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli warplanes.
	President Obama threatened last year, according to Middle Eastern News Outlet Sunday, to use the U.S. military to shoot down Israeli fighter jets if they attempted to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities.
	The reports of the regime denounced later as flatly untrue.
	Obama's threat reportedly deterred Netanyahu from dispatching warplanes into Iran after Israel discovered the U.S. had entered into secret talks with Tehran, and that the two countries had signed an agreement, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
	Important to note that this original story came from a Kuwaiti newspaper, not an Israeli outfit.
	And it should also be pointed out that everybody involved here is denying this.
	Israeli spokespeople are denying it.
	Of course, the regime here is uh is denying it.
	Uh nobody is giving the story any credence.
	The problem is with this, and here again, I've got to turn on my uh my memory up to full speed, but I remember this.
	It seemed last year, a year ago, uh, if I trusted it, I'd do a Google search on this.
	But this is Not the first I've heard of a threat to shoot down Israeli warplanes if they tried to.
	Now, may I made it read in a novel.
	I I I but I know I've heard of this.
	And it seems to me it was not in a novel.
	It seems to me that this is a it was either a fear the Israelis had or an undisclosed yet nevertheless made threat to Israel should they try this.
	But this was not the first time I'd heard of this when this story broke over the weekend on the Drudge Report.
	Congress averts Homeland Security shutdown with one week extension.
	And as I say, those of you on hold who want to talk about this is hang in there because you're coming up next.
	Congress managed at a last minute on Friday night to avert a partial shuttering of the Department of Homeland Security, passing a one-week funding measure for the agency.
	Obama signed it shortly before the midnight deadline.
	And that was too close, folks.
	I mean, it was ridiculous relief here.
	We came that close to not having our borders sealed and being completely protected from violent extremists acting in the name of Islam.
	We came that close.
	Actually, the borders are wide open.
	This is a bunch of hoo-ha.
	The deal came together after a whirlwind day of negotiations in which the House Republican leadership suffered a humiliating defeat when its 20-day funding bill was rejected.
	Humiliating.
	And the White House is calling it a humiliating defeat for the House leadership.
	And so this Washington Post story dutifully calls it the same thing.
	Earlier in the day, the House collapsed in failure when a last-ditch effort to fund the agency for an additional three weeks died at the hands of the most Democrats and dozens of Republicans who voted against it.
	The defeat said to be a major blow to Speaker Boehner, whose struggles to get unruly members to fall in line have continued in the new Congress.
	And more broadly, it was an early black eye for the unified Republican majority that had vowed to govern effect.
	What a bunch of pap that is.
	This is exactly the kind of thing I'm was addressing in the first hour.
	This is how the entire GOP brand gets destroyed.
	They don't help it any, but this is exactly how it happens.
	The GOP is the alternative to the failure after failure after failure policy of the administration.
	And they have destroyed that alternative.
	They destroyed the brand.
	Republicans have helped a little bit in that regard themselves, but nevertheless, it's been a concomitant failure that has occurred here.
	Two things have been happening at the same time.
	The Democrats have been implementing their agenda, all the while blaming the Republicans for the fact that Democrats' agenda is failing.
	And getting away with it than the political White House gloats over GOP's DHS flop.
	Now, the next story in the AP story on this, textbook journalistic malpractice.
	The AP completely fails to report what's actually going on here.
	Now, mentioned this just a moment ago and last week.
	Once the Senate passes a bill funding Homeland Security, which they did on Friday, the 27th, clean bill funds it all the way through September.
	That bill goes back to the House where the House could add amendments.
	And the Democrats thought they might get tricked here, because once a bill has amendments to it and gone is the closure vote requirement.
	And that bill then gets sent back to the Senate where there's a conference committee where the House and Senate get together and reconcile the differences, negotiate, come out with a compromise based on the two bills.
	But Harry Reid refused to allow any Democrat senators to go to conference with the House.
	And the explanation given by parliamentarians is, well, if the if if if they can't get 60 votes, then uh for then Reed doesn't have to send somebody to conference.
	Now, in any case, folks, bottom line, this is exactly where budget reconciliation was used to ram through Obamacare.
	When no Republican votes could be found for Obamacare, when there were no Republican votes necessary, and when they when the Democrats couldn't get the required number of minimum votes, they threw out the normal budget process and went to budget reconciliation.
	That removal the need for 60 votes and returned it to 51 votes, and that's all it wrote.
	This is exactly in the timeline where budget reconciliation was used to ram through Obamacare.
	The Republicans in the Senate could have used budget reconciliation to ram through the House's amended Senate bill, and the Democrats would not have been able to stop them.
	But they didn't.
	And I can't tell you the number of emails I got from frustrated people over the weekend asking me why won't they do it?
	Why won't they use the same tactics that the Democrats used?
	Why won't they go nuclear?
	Why won't they use budget reconciliation?
	And again, the answer, folks, you're going to hear it in our calls.
	Most people don't think the Republicans caved.
	Most people don't think it was a flop.
	Most people think that this is exactly what the Republicans want, because that's what their donors want.
	The Republican donors want amnesty.
	And so the Republicans have to go through the motions of making it look like they oppose this, and they have to go through the motions of making it look like they're trying to stop the Democrats, when at the end of the day, they don't do as much as they could to stop the Democrats, and the theory is because they don't really want to stop them, because they all want the establishment in D.C. all wants Obama's executive amnesty because that is what all the big money donors want.
	I think that's true, and I think there's even even if that element were not part of this.
	I think the Republicans are in such a state of fear over any aspect of opposing Obama.
	I just getting worse.
	I don't think the passage of time is lessening that fear.
	I think it's enhancing it.
	Let's take a break and we'll come back and start working your phone calls into all of this.
	Don't go away.
	As promised, back to the phone, Swingo Rush Limboy.
	Half my brain's hide behind my back just to make it fair.
	This is John in Solake City.
	Hello, sir.
	Hi, Rush.
	Thanks for bringing me aboard.
	You kind of stole my thunder there because this is the point I wanted to make.
	I think we are getting sandbagged once again by the Republican leadership.
	They want this.
	They're playing the role, if I may spin an analogy, of the pro-wrestling jobber here.
	The guy who's obviously overmatched by the headliner, comes in, goes through the motions, gets flopped to the mat and jumped on within the specified time limit, and I think they're just drawing the time limit out a little bit farther this time.
	So you think the whole thing's rigged, almost scripted from the outset, designed to make us look like they're really trying and really trying and really and maybe even getting close, but then at the end of the day, the evil villain triumphs yet again.
	Yeah, they just oh, they're just too slick for us.
	Oh, they just outmaneuvered us.
	Do they not realize how hapless and ineffective and absolutely worthless they look in carrying out this charade then?
	But they don't care.
	They're getting what they want.
	They're getting re-elected, they have safe districts.
	Who cares?
	What happened to the, you know, I go back to to 1994 when they were came in with all the bluster.
	What happened to the end of the Department of Commerce, education, energy?
	It's the same clap trap.
	We get it every year.
	Well, but what I tell you what happened there was the school lunch program and the budget battle of 1995.
	That's when the neutering and the de-balling of the Republicans began.
	I don't think they ever had them.
	I think they were just shooting their mouths off and didn't expect to win, and then they won and didn't know what to do.
	Well, I don't think that's the case.
	I think they thought they were going to win, they wanted to win, and I think they had their contract, and they did balance the budget.
	They did do some reform things.
	They scared the hell out of Bill Clinton in 1995 and six.
	They literally bring up somebody that uses the the hand grenade with a bad haircut said that was going to happen all by itself if no changes were made to budget and spending by 2002, anyways.
	Wait a minute.
	What what what did what did the hangar there with a bad haircut say?
	He said that the budget numerous times in 92 said if no changes to the to the uh budget were made, if no changes to spending were made, the budget was going to balance itself by 2002.
	That would be that was 1994.
	That was ninety-six.
	That was ninety-two, was it ninety two.
	Oh, that's right.
	That's right.
	The hand grenade with a bad hair, that was that's right '92.
	And by the way, in addition to that, there were a lot of people who said, and I remember asking a bunch of leftist economists, this and Charlie Rose, just to buttress your point.
	Bunch of people said if if they if we freeze the budget but allow for inflationary increases in every budget item it would balance in five years.
	That's exactly right.
	So they're taking credit for something that was gonna happen by itself, and then it was gonna go nuts again.
	And the Republicans did nothing to stop that.
	Well, I'm a I'm I'm cutting them a little bit more slack than you are in that era.
	Um, but it didn't take long.
	I I will agree with you that they didn't do hardly anything with that victory.
	And I think the mistake they made was assuming in that victory that the whole country had automatically become conservative, and they stopped explaining who they were and why they were doing what they were gonna do, and they stopped explaining their agenda.
	That may be true.
	And it's been great being on with you.
	I've been with the since.
	Anyway, John, I appreciate that.
	I didn't mean to steal your thunder, but remember who's host here.
	And staying with the phone, Zell Rushlow, uh Rush Beau, and half my brain tied behind my back just to make it.
	Oh, by the way, a uh hand grenade with a bad haircut's Ross Perot, for those of you who may not have recognized.
	That's that was one of our many uh uh lovable and and pet names for Ross Peroback in 1992.
	Hand grenade with a bad haircut.
	Here's uh Robert Germantown, Maryland.
	Great to have you on the program, sir.
	Hello.
	Rush, how are you, sir?
	My long time listener.
	I I can't even believe I'm talking to you after all these years.
	Uh uh live long and prosper and all the other good things that go with it.
	Thank you, sir.
	Um I I uh yeah, I'm calling you again from the People's Republic of uh Maryland, Montgomery County, Maryland.
	I uh was wondering in the the previous caller had taken away a little bit of what I wanted to talk about with uh how the uh Republicans have uh uh put themselves in a position where they're they're uh their their agenda is being quashed by the media and not taking advantage of the nuclear option, uh which the Democrats did, as you had mentioned for the uh pushing of Obamacare.
	But uh, I think a bigger picture is uh, you know, you look at what uh uh Janet Napolitano did before she left and and Fast and Furious and the Bullets, and here he just signed a uh uh the government bought up all that ammo.
	I can't remember the exact uh caliber, and now on top of it, he signs in uh uh yesterday an executive order to ban uh that same type of ammunition.
	So basically, it seems it if look at the the puzzle that uh that these people have put out there, which is you know mostly confusing with you know because there's a new item every day.
	Uh that I think that's why no one can really get a grip on any of this.
	Because they never stop.
	There's no time to react and adjust because there's something new every day, you mean?
	Yeah.
	It's just it's it's craziness.
	And you know, we hear you know, talking about this uh what's going on in the Middle East right now, not to mention uh uh Vladimir, uh, you know, that you know, remember what you had said and what we all heard, you know, uh he'll have more flexibility after the election.
	What kind of flexibility was it when we keep on giving away everything but the kitchen sink and getting nothing in return?
	Well, let me try to explain why.
	This is a good observation of yours.
	It's one that we have made uh previous occasions in many and very different ways.
	We had a caller last week named Vinny from Queens.
	There's about ten of those.
	It's ten guys, ten Vennies, Queens, Bronx, Camden, New Jersey, you name it.
	They rotate calling in here.
	And and Vinny, he wasn't able to hang on, but he was frustrated.
	He he wanted to disagree, but he thinks it's is time to panic.
	He thinks it is over, and one of the things he was going to say is no matter what We come up with, they've got an answer for.
	No matter what we do, no matter what trick we try to play, no matter what way we try to prevail again, they've got an answer for it.
	I'm going to tell you why this perception exists.
	I'm going to why that's that's Vinny's perception, and I'm going to tell you why it is.
	And I'm sure a lot of people probably in frustration agree with that.
	And the reason is very simple.
	It can be found in the phenomenon known as ideology.
	Say what you want about them.
	The liberals are committed to implementing their agenda.
	Come hell or high water.
	Their agenda is pure ideology.
	They are driven by it.
	They are devoted to it, committed to it.
	It is their religion, it is their life, as you well know.
	Every liberal demands that whatever his pet issue is, you either agree or be silenced.
	If it's behavior, you either behave the same way they do and the way they demand, or you get punished.
	Militant vegetarians are not content to let you have a Big Mac.
	You are going to be excoriated for doing so.
	McDonald's is going to be excoriated for providing them.
	The beef industry is going to be excoriated for destroying the planet.
	If you say the wrong thing, say if you're global warming denier, they set out to destroy you.
	There's a member of the House, a Democrat, who has sent letters to seven universities demanding that those universities explain the funding for any professors on campus who deny climate change.
	This is an inquisition.
	Never mind the fact that every liberal scientist promoting global warming is bought and paid for with this grant and that grant and those grants over there.
	It is their source of living.
	They found a global warming denier who had happened to take a grant donation from an oil company.
	And this member of Congress, Raul Grihalva or something like that, got on his, remember, they're in the minority in the House.
	The Democrats are in the minority.
	This guy gets in his high horse, and he sends letters out to seven universities demanding the universities do an investigation and reveal all sources of income for every professor who is a global warming denier.
	Now, this is ideology.
	They are committed to it.
	They are driven by it.
	They are devoted to it, they are absorbed by it.
	It is the reason they get out of bed every day.
	It is the reason they hate going to sleep every night.
	They do not want to take a moment off.
	They are constantly doing nothing but conspiring, meeting, talking, planning, writing, teaching, you name it, their agenda, all based on their ideology of extreme madcap liberalism slash socialism.
	On the other side, you have the Republican Party, who is what?
	The Republican Party does not have an agenda that you can identify.
	And the Republican Party has done its best to abandon the competing ideology to liberalism, and that would be conservatism.
	The Republican Party is attempting to say that the foremost practitioner and the biggest success story in conservatism, Ronald Reagan, is passé.
	The Republican Party is trying to say the era of Reagan is over.
	Do you ever hear the Democrats say the era of FDR is over?
	The era of JFK, the era of LBJ is over.
	Do you ever hear them say the era of the Great Society is over and we must modernize our thinking?
	You never hear them say that.
	The Republicans undercut their own agenda, and they do not have an ideology, folks.
	That's why the left has an answer For everything we do because we're not even competing against them at that level.
	The Republican objectives are totally different than the Democrat objectives.
	The Democrat objectives in winning office is to wield power.
	To implement their agenda, to silence their critics, to do away with their critics, to promote their friends, to use the Federal Treasury to fund their efforts and to defund the efforts of the opposition.
	The Republican Party, this may as well be Greek to them.
	There's no way this is not how they view the world.
	They certainly eschew conservatism.
	They have no agenda.
	They have no ideology.
	There is nothing competing with liberalism.
	There's not even a fight ideologically, because the Republican desire to win elections is not rooted in advancing any kind of an agenda.
	As we see now, they're not trying to stop amnesty.
	They're half-heartedly trying to stop Obamacare.
	There is no competing ideology within the opposition party.
	It is in the Tea Party, it is with grassroots Americans, it is with several governors, but in terms of the National Republican Party, there is no ideological driving force behind their purpose.
	If there were, this would be an entirely different landscape.
	If there were, there would this be an entirely different ball game.
	If there were committed conservatives who knew it, loved it, understood it, and could articulate it, the Democrats would have a much tougher time getting past what they do.
	They would have a much tougher time getting public support for their ideas.
	But conservatism isn't even on the field.
	And that's why it appears we don't have an answer.
	You and I do.
	The Republican Party doesn't.
	They want to win so they can have committee chairmanships in the Senate.
	Okay.
	And you say, well, what good is that?
	Well, that's power, folks.
	I mean, that's in charge of the money.
	The Republican desire to win, when they articulate it, is rooted in what?
	Stopping Obama, maybe?
	They didn't even say that during the most recent midterm election.
	They didn't even have an announced agenda.
	Individual Republican candidates did, and the number one thing they claimed are going to stop was Obamacare.
	Number two was amnesty, but that didn't get very far.
	There's no alternative ideology competing with liberalism in politics.
	There is here on Talk Radio, there is occasionally at Fox News.
	There is in the blogosphere.
	Conservatism is robust, it is alive and well, and it is thriving, except in the political arena.
	I'm talking about on a national, you know, national party-wide basis.
	So if the left is totally driven by its ideology, and it's dominated by it, I mean, that's all they care.
	Folks, you and I would get up and we'll go play golf, or we'll go uh ball game or family get together, picnic.
	These people, every waking moment is devoted to two things, advancing their agenda and destroying ours.
	If they ever do go to a ball game, that's what they're talking about, and they're not watching a game.
	That is their recreation.
	It's their religion.
	It's their recreation.
	It's their avocation.
	It's their vocation.
	It is everything about them.
	It's their identity.
	It's not that they're absorbed by it or immersed in it.
	It It is what they are.
	And that's why they seem to have an answer for everything we do.
	Because there is really no competing ideology.
	This is why I've, you know, from a couple of years here have been saying that if we could convince more and more low information Americans and educate them about ideology.
	If everybody understood, by the way, 1988, not that long ago, 26 years ago, a generation.
	Okay.
	One word and one picture defeated Michael Dukakis.
	Dukakis was running for the presidency opposed to George H.W. Bush, who was the sitting vice president and was promising to be the third term of Ronald Reagan.
	So he was promising more conservatism.
	There were two things that defeated Michael Dukakis.
	One was the word liberal.
	All it took 26 years ago to defeat a Democrat in the presidential race was to correctly identify them as a liberal.
	The American people wanted no part of it.
	The other thing it did him in was when he posed as Beatle Bailey in a tank, wearing an army helmet.
	He looked like a young fool.
	He looked the antithesis of presidential.
	It was a laugh riot.
	That coupled with, oh, there's a third thing.
	During a debate, Bernard Shaw, state-controlled media today, CNN, asked Dukakis if his wife were raped, what he would do.
	And Dukakis actually said something, I'm paraphrasing, well, Bernard, that require investigation of all the facts.
	And we would make sure the civil rights, everybody involved, was protected.
	And he gave a clinical, dry ball, liberal policy wonk answer to the proposition, what would you do if your wife was raped?
	And nobody, he did, not one additional shred of emotion.
	He was nothing more than a clinical liberal robot.
	Those are the three things that did him in.
	Today, identifying somebody as a liberal does not harm them.
	They are bigger jokes about that.
	They're actually dismantling the military rather than Dukakis running around looking like Beetle Bailey.
	And they have convinced everybody that rape is happening every day on college campus in a year of the war on women.
	But 26 years ago, the word liberal could kill a presidential candidate on the Democrat side.
	The Republicans are afraid to even use that word now.
	Too critical, too.
	Maybe mean spirited or what-headed.
	I gotta take a break.
	I just saw the clock.
	Back after this.
	Okay, let's see where we are here.
	I'm gonna stick with the phones.
	Yeah.
	Dave in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
	Welcome, sir.
	You are next on the EIB network.
	Hello.
	Hi, Russ.
	Uh, this dovetails a little bit about what you were just saying this morning during the top of the hour news by a couple of times.
	I heard this story that John Boehner is being criticized because he can't control the conservative wing of the Republican Party.
	I'm thinking, what hasn't he controlled?
	And why would they ever say that about Harry Reid can't control the liberal wing of the Democrat Party?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And the idea that he can't control the conservative wing of the party.
	You know, what do you think that means?
	You got me because to me they haven't been able to do anything.
	Maybe because they means if there weren't any conservatives, Boehner would have signed on with McConnell weeks ago to this deal to fund the homeland security.
	There wouldn't have been any talk about defunding amnesty, but because Boehner doesn't control those extremist radical conservatives, we were taken to the brink.
	That's what it means.
	If Boehner had total control over the Republican caucus, why we wouldn't even have been talking about defunding a part of Homeland Security.
	And the fact that we almost did just shows that Boehner has lost control.
	Now, why don't we ever hear that uh Pelosi lost control of the liberals in the House or Harry Reid?
	Because that's all there are in there.
	But it's it's it's as far as the drive-by's are concerned, the liberals can never be extreme.
	They never have to, they're never out of line.
	They never pose a problem to the leadership, and they're not embarrassing to anybody.
	But in their world, the conservatives are extremists, they're embarrassing, and you know, Boehner's afraid of them and he can't control them and so forth.
	It's just, it's, you know, evidence of a double standard, which everybody is well aware of.
	Okay, now, folks, in the next hour, uh, some highlights, Benjamin Netanyahu today at APEC, the um uh the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
	It's a prelude to his joint session speech to Congress tomorrow, and a review of some of the things that happened at CPAC over the weekend all coming up, so if you just sit tight, we'll be to it before you know it.
	It's really hard to imagine boycotting a prime minister who speaks so warmly and so passionately of his love for America, prime minister who never uses hyperbole to explain the threats his country faces in the Middle East and talking about Benjamin Netanyahu.
