RUSH: Here\u2019s Cliff in Washington, Missouri. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you doing?<\/line>RUSH: Hey, couldn\u2019t be better, sir, thank you.<\/line> CALLER: Hey you\u2019re kind of beating up on this Joe Wilson guy, and I remember another guy you kind of beat up on. His name was Hans Blix. You called him Inspector Clouseau? (Pause)<\/line>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line>CALLER: Yeah. I mean you used words like nitwit, buffoon, a blundering idiot [sic], and that didn\u2019t turn out to be true, did it?<\/line>RUSH: You know, I\u2019m really confused, Cliff. You know, I love talking to you people, I really do, but it\u2019s not going to prove useful if you\u2019re not going to listen to what just happened on the radio program. Yeah, I called him Inspector Clouseau. I\u2019ll stand by it to this day. Hans Blix is also an anti-American, UN elitist who was doing his best to undermine the US effort in the war on terror and in Iraq. These inspectors were kicked out of that country long enough for all sorts of stuff to be hidden and moved — and we keep getting little stories here and there of evidence of materials to build bombs and this sort of stuff, and as far as Joe Wilson, I just got through explaining! I\u2019m telling you what the Senate intelligence committee report said. I\u2019m telling you what the 9\/11 Commission report said; I\u2019m telling you what William Safire said precisely because I know <\/emphasize>you\u2019re not going to believe me. You can sit here and say, “Why don\u2019t you stop bashing Blix and stop bashing Wilson?” Why don\u2019t you guys stop bashing Bush? Why don\u2019t you get on, try and explain to us what you people want to do for the country? Why don\u2019t you try to give it just five minutes, five minutes of a policy: How you going to improve on the economy? How you going to win the war on terror? How you going to protect the country? Why don\u2019t you, if you can do it in five minutes. You might only need one. You might only need 30 seconds. You might even not need that long because you don\u2019t have any ideas — and that\u2019s why you have to call here and get on me for “bashing” whoever. We are engaged in the arena of ideas. We\u2019ve got all kinds of ideas. Our ideas are being implemented, and they are working and they are rebounding the economy. They are protecting the country in the war on terror, and all you guys are is a bunch of nattering nabobs of doom and gloom and pessimism and defeat — and all you can do is call here and get on me for bashing people. I\u2019m not “bashing;” I\u2019m telling you the truth <\/emphasize>about people. It\u2019s up to you to have courage to believe it, or to continue to live in the fog that you\u2019re living in, with a bag over your head or whatever you\u2019re doing. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Scott in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Nice to have you on the program, sir. Hi.<\/line> CALLER: Hey, Rush, I\u2019d like to be the first person to call for Valerie Plame\u2019s resignation from the CIA. I don\u2019t know what this incompetent CIA analyst is doing by sending her husband off on a mission to go look for WMDs, but I seem to remember the Democrats complaining incessantly <\/emphasize>that we haven\u2019t found the WMDs and yet we have a CIA analyst sending her ambassador husband to look for them?<\/line>RUSH: Well, he wasn\u2019t actually looking for weapons of mass destruction. He was going over there trying to confirm something that the Brits had told us —<\/line>CALLER: Right, right which related —<\/line>RUSH: — and the Brits said they stand by it.<\/line>CALLER: — to WMDs.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, material for it, nuclear material, the yellowcake uranium, but as I said: He\u2019s incompetent, or else he\u2019s a liar. He could be both! He could be both. His problem is that he\u2019s being handled by Chuck Schumer, and of course Schumer is orchestrating his words and his moves and so forth. But Schumer knows they\u2019ve got a sympathetic press in Washington. They\u2019re not going to look at Wilson the way we\u2019re looking at him here because Wilson\u2019s got the goods. Whether they\u2019re true or not, Wilson\u2019s got the goods that allows the pack mentality to form and execute. <\/emphasize>So, you know, you can go after her. She may be incompetent, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know anything about Valerie Plame\u2019s career other than what I\u2019ve read in a couple of news stories but from what I\u2019ve been able to gather about Wilson, this is not somebody you would want to trust. David in Tampa. Hello, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you doing?<\/line>RUSH: Never better, sir. Thanks for the call.<\/line>CALLER: First-time caller, thank you for taking my call. I want to follow up on a conversation you were having last week with a gentleman who was questioning the victory over the war on terrorism going down the road from today.<\/line>RUSH: Yes.<\/line>CALLER: Your comment was about education for a lot of these Third World countries. Do you think we are forward-leaning enough with all of the political bickering in this country going on these days, to absolutely stand up and put a finish to some of these cells and situations you got like in London last week, with homegrown terrorists, educated Muslim extremist people in their country? Do we have the people in our organization that are going to stand up and basically realize we are at war with these people and unless you totally defeat them, or make some type of arrangement with them — I don\u2019t want to say peace — but make something, this is going to go on for generations. I do agree with you on the education issue.<\/line>RUSH: The arrangement we\u2019ve got to make with them is kill them.<\/line>CALLER: Absolutely.<\/line>RUSH: I dealt with it last week. You don\u2019t make arrangements; you don\u2019t appease these people. The answer to your question is — hah, hah — I\u2019m scared that we don\u2019t right now. Because we have a political party that is still in shock over the fact that it\u2019s lost power 11 years ago and have been unable to get it back, and I think that they are so blinded by partisanship, anger and hatred, all those things, that they\u2019re willing to engage in policies that are designed to make the American people think no such threat really exists — other than when they can accuse Bush of not preparing us for it. But in terms of joining the effort to do something about it, I don\u2019t have confidence that the Democratic Party is competent to lead this country in any war or as guarantors of our national security. I certainly know John Kerry is not simply by virtue of his own words. Who does he want to be our number one ally? The French. Second ally, the Germans. I haven\u2019t heard anything from these people. All I hear is constant berating of their own countrymen. Interrogators at Abu Ghraib and G\u2019itmo. <\/line>I don\u2019t hear praise for the US military unless it\u2019s plastic and phony with fake tears on the floor of the Senate after <\/emphasize>they\u2019ve already attempted to demoralize them and to impugn their honor and competence. So at this point I can\u2019t say that we are the United <\/emphasize>States when it comes to the war on terror. I don\u2019t think anybody would say that we are and seriously mean it — and it\u2019s a frightening thing. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
