RUSH: I think the first thing we need to do out there, folks — well, not we, but the Republican Party, needs to just simply say that Jim McGreevey is now the official face of the Republican Party and end all this criticism. That way when McGreevey goes on Oprah as Mark Foley probably will not, then, you know, it’ll sort of balance the scales out there. I’m also looking at a new merchandising opportunity here, folks. You remember back in the early days of this program when the left was telling us that we needed safe sex out there and that safe sex equaled the condom, and I said let’s illustrate how effective that would be and I went out and did speeches and I put a condom over a microphone calling it “safe talk” trying to illustrate that the condom would protect the audience of anything offensive or rank that I might say.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Make the first thing we need to do out there, folks, well,
not we, but the Republican Party needs to to simply
say that Jim McGreevy is now the official face of
the Republican Party and and end all this criticism. Uh.
That way, when McGreevy goes on Oprah, as Mark Foley
probably will not, uh, then uh, you know it a
(00:21):
little sort of balance the scales out there. Uh. And
I also I'm looking at a new merchandizing opportunity here, folks.
Remember back in the early days of this program, when
the uh the left was telling us that we needed
safe sex out there, in the safe sex equal to condom.
And of course why I said, let's illustrate how effective
that will be. And I wouldn't out speeches, and I
(00:43):
put a condom over a microphone, calling it safe talk,
trying to illustrate that the condom would protect the audience
of anything offensive or rank that I might say. I
don't think it's too early here to start thinking about
e I V. Email condoms and in message condoms at
least prevent your keyboard from being stained other than your dress. Um.
(01:06):
The only way for safe emails to be sent the
e I B keyboard condom. Let's look at how the
Democrats are playing this. First off, it's sort of a
pattern in of you you go back and you look
at two thousand two and two thousand four, uh, in
terms of these mid term elections, and two thousand four
(01:28):
was again a year that they thought they were gonna
win big with carry and take back the House and everything.
They started off in this campaign season with the culture
of corruption. They We're gonna make real hay out of
Jack abram Off and Tom Delay number of other things.
And something came along and preempted that. William Jefferson Congressman
(01:49):
Democrat Louisiana, and Harry Reid and a couple of other
Democrats came along, gave them a problem advancing the whole
notion of the culture corruption. So they dragged Jack Murtha
out and they started going after the War on a
Rock war and terror and so forth and so on.
Uh and uh, they've they've been they've been lured now
(02:10):
back to uh uh the culture of corruption with the
Mark Fully story. They are all over the board. And
let me just tell you one thing. I'm gonna get
into this in greater detail as the program unfolds today.
But they do not find the people in the drive
by media that you've been watching and listening to all weekend,
and the Democrats, they do not find what Mark fully
(02:30):
did to be repugnant at all. They have defended such
behavior in the past, and they have gone out of
their way to see to it that those who have
engaged in such behavior might have been reprimanded and so
forth in a perfunctory way. But aside from mcgrievy, they
all hang on Marney, Frank Garry Studs, a number of
(02:52):
these people. They don't find what he did repugnant. And
you're not hearing one concern for the children. Uh, and
we still did this. Hey do not know what Folly
actually did, if he ever met any of these pages,
if he ever touched one of them, it's uh, it's
merely an instant message and an email scandal. Meanwhile, to
coordinate the attacks are totally coordinated. Sunday afternoon, Harry Reid
(03:16):
sent out a demand for the Attorney General to investigate
the Folly scandal. That was after the d n C
sent out a demand asking why Tom Reynolds covered up
Congressman Folly's so called sex crimes. Then this organization called
Crew has called for the House to appoint an outside
council to investigate the Folly scandal. And then Democracy twenty
(03:39):
one called on the House Ethics Committee to appoint an
outside council to investigate House Republican leaders. And they're handling
of the Fully scandal. Meanwhile after that, this is a
pure coordinated assault. And I'm gonna say what I think
is going on. I think the Clinton war room is
back up in full speed. I think that how long
has this Folly stuff been known by people were talking
(04:00):
about last year, earlier this year? Look how long may
hell the National Intelligence estimate before leaking it during this
this campaign? The situation with Janine Pierro in New York,
now all of her financial records have been subpoenaed by
the U. S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan. Say what I
think about that? Just as a little aside, I actually
(04:21):
think that, uh, they got to Jenny in because they're
bugging Bernard Carrick. And I think they were bugging Bernard
Carrick to get Rudy. I think they were bugging Bernard
Carrick to find out some dirt on Rudy because the
Clinton war rooms strategy. Uh, and the and the the
whole bill and Hillary political strategy is not just defeat
(04:41):
your political opponents, but destroy them. And so Fully is
here being destroyed. Delay was destroyed, not merely defeated. George
Allen attempting to destroy Jannine Pierro. They were attempting to destroy. Uh.
It's it's it's a pattern. And of course they're willing
accomplices in the drive by media are just salo fainting
over this. Uh. Meanwhile, while all this is going on,
(05:03):
Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana will vote for the next
Speaker of the House after the elections. He's not going anywhere.
Pelosi did ask him to resign, but but he said, nope,
not going anywhere. And they didn't push, they didn't force
the issue. Uh. So they did a perfunctory little demand
(05:26):
William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana hit the highway. But Congressman Jefferson said, nope,
I'm going nowhere. And that's that. And he is he's
still there. Uh. The circumstances here with with Fully or
what they are, and they're they're they're indefensible. Uh. And
(05:47):
I'm not even going to try that that that's not
the that's not the point. I want to try to explain, um,
why why this is happening, ladies and gentlemen. This is
a this is a circumstance here where everybody's saying, uh, well,
aren't the Democrats being rather hypocritical? And the Democrats there
aren't the Republicans being rather hypocritical? This is this is
(06:09):
the way this shakes out, and it's always been the case.
There is a different standard for Republicans as far as
the left is concerned. The left, the Democrats look at
at Conservatives and Republicans in the following fashion. Well, these
guys are family values types. They're all for law and order,
(06:30):
and they're always judging everybody else. But in the liberal view,
it's not possible for them to be hypocrites because they
sqw all judgment. They don't like judgment against themselves, and
whenever the people they look at as the as the judgers,
the people engaging in judgment have the normal human failings,
(06:51):
the liberals and the left pile right audit and call
them hypocrites. Uh. You know, Republicans are said to be
racist and sexist and bigot, bigoted, and homophobic. H. The
liberal policy. Liberal philosophy is to assume bad behavior, bad
human behavior. They assume it. They have a condescending look
(07:14):
towards people in general to what makes them liberals. People
are incapable of doing the right thing without liberals guidance.
People are incapable of making the right decisions to get
ahead in life without liberal guidance. They're incapable of earning
a decent living. Uh. And when the when these people
don't vote for liberals, then those people also become stupid.
Liberalism assumes bad human behavior and then coddles it as imperfect.
(07:40):
And after they coddle imperfect bad human behavior, uh, they
are able to say those who judge imperfections and people
uh and come out strong for right and wrong, the
simplistic black and white good versus evil people who come
out for law and order and so forth, they're the
(08:02):
sinners because none of us are perfect. The liberals understand this.
They coddle the imperfections. They create victims out of those
who are imperfect, turning them into a cause celeb and
blaming uh the right. Uh. These these draconian, uh, intolerant,
inflexible people who judge others while ignoring their own foibles. Uh.
(08:26):
This explains why the liberals are able to accept genocide
in places like a rock if it furthers their agenda.
There's everybody's you know, every everybody's flawed. Uh. Saddam Hussein's flawed,
and he's just a bad guy. We understand that we
need to understand this about about people. They expect the
worst from people, and they want the worst from people tolerated.
(08:50):
And that is a sign of compassion when you look
at the absolute dregs of society, worthless shreds of human
debris or other people who are simply in perfect in
one way, or which we all are by the way. Um,
they want to tolerate this as design a compassion. Their
view of Conservatives and Republicans is that we are intolerant
of anybody who's not like us. Uh, and and so
(09:14):
we must be made to pay the price for holding
a standard that they do not. They hate being. I'll
give you a quick illustration. When Clinton was elected during
the week leading up to the inaugural I've told you
this story before. He had all these parties and ceremonies
and little little get togethers on the mall in Washington,
(09:36):
and people like Aretha Franklin and there to sing and
other big lib time entertainers. And the list of songs
they were singing were songs uh like we Shall overcome
or we got out of jail today, all because a
liberal Democrat had been elected after the twelve years of
the judgmentalism of the Reagan and Bush years, they actually
(09:59):
felt read from a a a straight jacket of judgment
where they knew they came up short. They don't want
to be judged, and they love to go after those
who do the judging when there are foibles among those
on that side of the aisle. It's as simple as
what I have been saying, Power no matter what, uh
(10:22):
is to get their way. Uh. Power no matter what
nothing is to get in their way, nothing of reacquiring it. Uh.
The truth is that the people on the left who
are acting all outraged and stunned and angry, they don't
see what Clinton or Barney frank or Gary Studs did
(10:44):
as repugnant. In fact, a few of those things as
private matters that didn't affect anybody's work. And it's nobody's
business what somebody does with their private life. Particularly when
it comes to sex. Now, we all think this is
hypocritical and their part, but they don't look at it
as being hypocritical at all, because the party of mark
Fully to them is the party of judgment and who
(11:07):
gave them the right to judge anybody, even though the
Liberals are the ones that do all the judging and
genuinely condemn most people to incompetence and failure. As I say,
they don't find what mark Fully did repugnant. They're not
upset about that. They just see this as an opportunity, folks.
It's an opportunity to once again gin up hatred and
(11:28):
anti voting patterns for the Republicans. In all of this,
they still can't tell us what they believe in. They
still can't tell us what their policy and the rock is.
They still can't tell us what they're going to do
about domestic problems such as immigration. They don't dare They
still do not give people a reason to vote for them.
They're on the war path trying to get as much
(11:49):
hate and vilification as they feel revd up in the
general population for Republicans and George W. Bush no accident
that the Woodward Book is out now. Woodward even admits
his objective was not to get the truth out. His
objective was to get the book out prior to the elections,
and he's done that. Remember, they can't possibly find what
(12:12):
Fully did repugnant. They have defended it before when on
their side, on the other hand, you got Bob Livingstone
and Newt and a list of others who resign over
such things. The left celebrated for such things. Clinton is
still held up as a guy a lot of liberal
Democrat women would love to have some private time with
(12:35):
as long as he's good at hammering Republicans and hammering
the GOP and now hammering Fox News. You think this
is an accident they're going after Fox News before the
kind of stupid if you ask me, But they they
still are. Don't forget Nina Burley who once said she'd
give Clinton a b J just for keeping abortion legal.
Uh so, there's there's no This idea that they find
(12:58):
the behavior of Mark fully repugnant and unacceptable is just
b s. All this is is an opportunity that they've
been waiting for. People have known about this obviously for
a long time. You wonder how ABC got these emails
five weeks before the election. You wonder why Janine Piro
is being subpoened by the U. S attorney. You wondered
by George Allen's being destroyed on the front page of
(13:21):
the Washington Post for two to three weeks while the
racial epithets honored by his opponent go practically unnoticed. It's
a campaign. The Clinton war room is in full speed operation.
They cannot afford to lose this election. And oh eight,
I have my suspicions about all this because I know
the Liberals like every square inch my glorious naked body,
(13:43):
not just the back of my hand. And what do
we have here? We have really the instant messages of
the big deal, not the emails. Emails are sort of mild.
It's those I ms that got published. And how old
was this page when those I m s are going
back and forth? Seven seventeen? There's also now I just
have to ask the question, because I don't know. I'm
(14:04):
not around sixteen or seventeen year olds, but how many
of them save instant messages like that? Uh, just just
on their own? What I'm getting at is, uh, it
is not beyond the realm of possibility here at all.
That This was a setup from the get go because
of what people have known about Mark foley sexual orientation,
(14:26):
as they're now saying, uh, for many years. Here's a
supposedly ostensibly safe seat. Here we are in the election campaign,
with the Clinton war room in full speed operation, and
all of a sudden things that people have known for
a long time suddenly surface once again thanks to our
old buddy Brian Ross at at ABC. Now, if you've
(14:48):
got a sixteen or seventeen year old page genuinely scared
and frightened about all this, save the stuff. It's embarrassing.
What if somebody sees this outside of who you intend
to see it? I'm just thinking out loud here, what
if somebody got to the page? So you know, we
want you to set folly up when you do a
little titilating thing here, keep it and save it and
so forth. How would you get a kid to do that? Now?
Who knows? You threaten him or pay him as any
(15:10):
number of ways. Given the kind of people that we're
dealing with and talking about here. Uh Now, folks, I
don't want to be misunderstood here. I'm not trying to
mount any kind of a defense that's a bad word.
I'm not trying to uh get into a defense of
what Mark Folly did. Please don't misunderstand. I'm just telling
you that the the the orgy and the orgasm that
(15:33):
has been taking place in the media since Friday, and
with the Democrats, Uh, it's all coordinated and it's all
it's all oriented towards the election. There's no concerned about
the kid, no concerned about the children. Uh, there is,
there is. There's not even any real problem with what
Folly did. As we've discussed in their in their hearts
and minds and their crotches. They don't have any problem
(15:55):
with what Folly did. They've defended it all the over
the years. Now, according to The New York Times, the
FBI has begun a preliminary investigation into these emails of
Mark Foley and the page and these instant messages, and
the Speaker to the House, Denny Hastert, has asked a
question he since the communications appear to have existed for
(16:18):
three years, there should be an investigation into the extent
that there are persons who knew or had possession of
these messages but did not report them to the appropriate authorities.
This is from a letter that hasted sent to the
Justice Department. He said, it is important to know who
may have had the communications and why they were not
(16:39):
given to prosecutors before. Now, well, that's uh, that's a great,
great point. I don't know about you, but especially during
a heated election season, I don't believe in coincidence. And
Hassard Hastard is raising the uh point himself in his
letter to the to the Justice Department. Uh, I I
(17:02):
the timing of all of this. I mean, who benefits
from the timing of all this? You always look at that,
or I always do who benefits from this? Um? This?
This this has more to do uh about helping Nancy
Pelosi in the House Democrats then protecting teenagers, uh with
(17:22):
with whom fully was communicating. Why. I mean, if if
they've known about this, as people are saying for all
these years, then where is the concern for the children,
Where is the concern for what was going on with
this page unless they knew? Uh, there's there's too much
happening here of this. And I'm gonna folks will tell
you what. This is not anywhere near the end. We've
(17:45):
got five weeks to go, and I am sure that
there are other things in their hopper that they're going
to be whaa. Lookye here breaking news that has been
planned for months. I have no idea. What. Uh, there's
a coordinated assault on Fox News now. David Boder the
Associated Press has a hit piece on Fox News. And
(18:07):
there was the most ridiculous piece of the New York
Times weekend review section on Fox News yesterday that it's
all about how Democrats are fighting back, finally fighting back
at Fox News. It's the premise of that is mind
boggling to me. But they're trying to rev up their base.
They're gonna end up revving up the Republican base as well.
At the same time, had a great weekend with some friends,
are talking about all this stuff, and I I made
(18:31):
the point that the Clinton war room is back in action.
I Carville and Begala out there with their new book
Acting Juvenile wherever they go, uh, and just it's just
it's a pure smear and destroying machine. Somebody said, well,
what where are the Republicans on this? You know, how
how come the Republicans don't don't have a war room
(18:52):
type operation? Nice? Come on, you're asking this after all
these years that this kind of stuff is the Republican
couldn't smear a bagel with cream cheese if they had to.
It's just it's not who they are. It's not it's
not how they play. They look. They're not circling the
wagons around uh around fully They're they're they're not doing
any They're on the they're on the cutting edge of
(19:12):
hounding a guy out of town just as much as
the as the Democrats are. And you can't help but
think about about this stuff like Clinton. I mean, if
if Clinton had a fraction of a sense of responsibility uh,
such as delay or or or even fully um, he
(19:34):
would have resigned within an hour of the allegations of
Lewinsky or the Kathleen Willie revelations, maybe even the one
need to Broderick uh revelations. And if Mark fully behaved
the way Bill Clinton behaves, Folly would still be in
the House trying to smear the ABC reporters and threatening
to revoke the broadcast license. He'd be calling Bob Iger
(19:57):
at ABC trying to get the story retract and uh,
and he would get as many of his cronies in
his office and the Republican Party helping him out getting
back to smear. Instead, he just quit. He said, I'm
out of here. And one of the things, I actually
think his resignation has angered the Democrats because by quitting,
he's gone. I mean, they can't talk about him anymore
(20:19):
now They've they have to make this a Republican wide scandal.
If fully were still there, and if fully were fighting
us the way that Bill Clinton would fight it, the
way Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana would fight it, why
he would remain a huge target and they would be.
And they're still digging deep into his past, the FBI
looking at all this, but he's sort of taking himself
(20:41):
off the radar, checked into rehab. Is supposedly here because
of uh an alcohol problem. Yeah, I mean, it's just
it's sort of comical to watch this. Liberals show all
this mock horror at the comparison because the pages were
under age. But I don't know if he ever touched one.
Has anybody? Am I missing something here? Has there been
(21:02):
a story yet that he ever met the page or
touched the page UH in any of these suggestive ways
made public in the instant messages. Now this group crew
and I forget what this stands over. They're part of
the coordinated Efforts c R E w Uh. They have
had a crucial role in the in the revelation of
(21:27):
what Folly's instant messages were. And this is pretty well timed.
I don't, as I say, like Hastart, I don't believe
in coincidences. Uh. It turns out that this group Crew
has been behind the demands for investigations of Kurt Weldon,
Tom Delay, Sam Johnson, Richard Pombo from California, Santorum, Roy Blunt,
(21:48):
Bill Frist, Saxby Chamblist, Richard Shelby, Charles Taylor, a lot
of other Republicans. Uh. And then they also demanded an
investigation of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana after became clear
the Isaac Crook. Uh. And of course that that allows
them to say, hey, we are not partisan. Here we
are We're we're nonpartisan people. Now, this outfit Crew is
(22:10):
an i R S designated five oh one C three
not for profit group that means it's tax exempt based
on its representation to the government that it isn't political.
But they've gotten money from George Soros's Open Society and
a lot of other extremely wealthy leftists them. The bottom
line with all this is, once again, don't be fooled.
(22:32):
They don't find what fully did the slightest bit wrong.
They just see it as an opportunity to trash citizens
for responsibility and ethics in Washington. That's what crew is.
I was having a having a mental block out there. Nevertheless,
this is just an opportunity for them to point fingers
at the people they think are holier than now, the
Party of law and order, the Party of right and wrong,
(22:54):
Christian right, the moral and as such this I say,
there's a different standard. The Liberals never make themselves out
to be cleaning pure as the wind driven snow. They
never set themselves out to be anything superb in any
of those areas. So when they have their failings, nobody
can really accuse them of of hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is their
main weapon here that they're that they're using in this
(23:17):
in this effort to discredit the entire Republican Party, and
they're really feeling their oats. I've seen similar people on
TV over the weekend, and they are energized to the
point of being angry. Uh. But we'll just see I
you know, the abramof scandal was announced last week or
not there was an update in it somehow four and
some odd contacts in the White House with with Karl Rove.
(23:38):
And I don't think anybody cares. The Abramoft scandal has
has sort of worn itself out there. The emotional reservoir
that people have for that sort of thing is uh,
pretty pretty narrow, and it's not deep, and it's already
been um, it's already been spent. I didn't get the
impression that was a big deal. I tried to make
it a big deal. I think when it comes to
(23:59):
abrama type scandals, most people that vote in this country
assume that that standard operating procedure. In Washington, I mean,
when was the last time lobbyists were popular, Really, when
was the last time lobbyists for poputer? They haven't been
popular a long time. And the idea that there are
people like abram running around as a shock and of course,
(24:20):
sex scandals in Washington not new page scandals, not new
I think they're in the process of overplaying their their
hand here because once again, in all of this, we
still don't hear what they're for. We still don't hear
what they're gonna do when they reclaim their power other
than they're gonna do things smarter, but they don't have
an agenda that they there announced. Let's go to the phone,
(24:42):
Cynthia and St. Louis your first. Nice to have you
with us on the E I B Network today, High Rush,
I just want to say, as a conservative Democrats who's
been disappointed with both parties for a long time but
still votes Republican, I've actually considered sitting it out this
year because I began to see distinctions without much of
a difference. I've become disillusioned with Republicans also until now.
(25:06):
There are so many implications about this, most of which
you've covered. The one that really stands out in my mind,
which is why I voted for Republicans in the first place,
which is the hypocrisy of the Democrats when all this
was going on with with Bill Clinton. As far as
Kathleen Willie wanted to Broderick and Paula Jones, they were
(25:26):
trailer trash, dragon dollar through a trailer park, nuts and sluts,
all this stuff. That's what the Democrats did to the
what I believe were real victims of Bill Clinton. However,
you don't hear a peep out of the Republicans saying
anything about these angelic sixteen and seventeen year olds, which
I doubt so very sincerely. They're not standing behind Mark Folly.
(25:47):
I don't think he did anything criminal that remains to
be seen. It was Tawdrey. But I applaud them for
not doing both of those, for not the victims and
not standing behind Folly. It's a it's an interesting point.
I remember James Carville made the comment, you dragon dollar
bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll
pick up. I et Paula Jones. Uh. They did try
(26:08):
to destroy the reputations of any of the well. They
had a whole Bimbo eruptions unit that Betsy Right headed
up early in the nineteen nineties into the campaign of
nineteen ninety two. And anytime these women came up, it
was search and destroy, it was destroy him. Uh. And
and there were a lot of them, and the ones
that they did destroy sent a message to the other
ones to stay quiet. Look what will happen to you.
(26:28):
If the Republicans were the same, we'd be trying to
find his page, drag him through the mud, find out
everything about this kid talk about how he was this
or that and the other things. Set poor old congressman
fully up. Why all these people telling lies about Congressman Folly,
Why this is his unconscionable weekend? You're right, ex excellent point.
The Republicans are not circling the wagons around fully and
(26:51):
they're not going after the accuser like the Clintons make
a habit of doing excellent excellent observation out there, Cynthia.
I appreciate it. Then it's you bet Dennis in Chicago.
You're next. Great to have you with us today stairs,
we kick off a brand new broadcast week Hi, Rush,
probably be one of your over twenty million law informed listeners. Um.
(27:12):
I agree with your analysis, but you're spending it a little.
I mean, we should expect more from Republicans than this,
and and and you and others that have a lot
of influence should go after whoever cover this up. I mean,
what we expect Bill Clintons to go and do what
they do and wait, wait, wait, who's covering it up?
I'm not well, there are probably people within in Halfred's office.
(27:35):
They're saying that half staffers may have known about this
for quite some time. And we should expect more. The
democratically expect this behavior from that. We don't expect it
from Republicans. I don't think you're getting it from Republicans.
That's that's the point. Cynthia and St. Louis, I think
made a great point. There's a tremendous difference. Now. I
I saw Newt right before the program started. I saw
Newt was on one of the cable channels. They asked
(27:56):
him about this is I think that they didn't know
the standard this. I think a year ago somebody was
dispatched to talk to fully to set this down. It
was dangerous, it was improper, and they thought they had
it handled. Um. I we'll have to wait and see
who knew what when. But don't don't forget democrats knew
a lot too about what was going on and the
(28:18):
timing of all this. You know, it's it's it's um,
it can't be. It can't be divorced in the circumstances.
The Republicans are not trying to cover this up and
they're not trying to back out of it, and they're
not trying to I mean, they're leading the call for
the investigation into all this. But you don't You don't
think they're forced into doing that. I mean, I'm sure
they've know, like you said, they've known about this and
shouldn't tolerate there. This is the party that's in charge
(28:39):
of national security, and people expect no plan from the Democrats.
They expect the Democrats to behave like this. It's part
of just who they are. But we we, the Republicans
and the staffers, should not tolerate this. Well. This is why,
you know, when I say at the very beginning of
the program, there is a there's a double standard for
(29:00):
Republicans because they do portray themselves as the party of
loyalty and lay on art, loyal law and order, and
they portray themselves as, uh, the party of morality, what
with the Christian right and so forth. But I you know,
I think if you look at this, it seems to
me the Republicans are not being tolerant of this at all. Uh.
(29:22):
It's quite a comparison between the way the Democrats deal
with all this and the way the Republicans do. And
in the context of what's happening here going into the election,
don't look at this is spin. I mean, I the
Democrats are trying to create an impression about Republicans that
isn't true, as they always do. They are engaged in
personal seek seek can destroy uh smear missions here, and
(29:46):
they've got willing accomplices and drive by media that helped
them do it at each and every turn. And this
is a an opportunity here, opportunity. It's a circumstance. I
think that demands that Republicans you know, be the right
thing morally, which they're doing here. But understand the game
that's being played. Uh. We're gonna learn more about the
(30:07):
timing and of all this is the uh in the
coming days. Just I want to warn you, Dennis, this
is not the last of these so called revelation breaking
news stories. I think the entire campaign season from here
on out is going to feature a number of things
like this. I think they're laying in wait. I think
they're categorizing, they're on a list. Uh. They've been you know,
(30:28):
doing opposite and research, have this stuff ready to go, uh,
and it's going to be you know, released in a
systematic way, timed to just overwhelm the voting population with
negative ideas and thoughts about the very existence and humanity
of Republicans. Folks, you have to understand this. This thing
(30:48):
that's happening with Foley is not in a vacuum. Look,
George Allen delay, there's a political indictment, pure and simple. Uh.
Janine Piro in New York Coman, the National Intelligence Estimately,
this this is this is um what the Democratic Party
(31:08):
exists to do. It exists as this kind of an operation.
It's not a party that puts forth ideas. It's not
a party that's willing to debate those ideas. It's not
a party. They can't afford to. They have to destroy, discredit,
smear their opponents who they feel will beat them, embarrass them,
(31:30):
humiliate them, or what have you. Now. On the other hand,
you people, some of you people out there think that
I'm spinning, and I mean you you missed the point.
Let's take a look at the case of Congressman William Jefferson,
Democrat Louisiana. How long did it take for Nancy Pelosi
and a couple others in the House to make a superficial,
perfunctory request that he resign and what did it take?
(31:55):
It took finally a government document that he had ninety
thousand dollars in cold cash in his freezer. But remember
how that document came out, Remember that the Justice Department
raided his office. What did the Republicans do? Sided with
the Democrats, sided with Congressman William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana. Uh,
(32:19):
rather rather than UH rammed William Jefferson down the throats
of the Libs and demanded he get out of the
House for activity that is embarrassing and beneath the dignity
of the House of Represents. Whatever the hell you want
to say. They're just too damn stupid that they joined
with the Democrats to whine about Justice Justice Department getting
(32:40):
the records of Congressman William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana all on
the basis that the House is sancrosacks separation of powers.
We can't have the Justice Department coming in here, executive
branch or what have you. That's why I say they
they couldn't smear a bagel if you gave them the
cream cheese. It just not who they are. It's never
(33:01):
gonna happen. Republicans are not going to recruit a bunch
of lawyers who do nothing but go out and try
to destroy Democrats. They're just not going to do it.
Republicans have this claim, little old fashioned notion that elections
are about issues, and then they're gonna run on those
Make the first thing we need to do out there, folks, well,
not we, but the Republican Party needs to to simply
say that Jim McGreevy is now the official face of
the Republican Party and and end all this criticism. Uh.
That way, when McGreevy goes on Oprah, as Mark Foley
probably will not, uh, then uh, you know it a
(00:21):
little sort of balance the scales out there. Uh. And
I also I'm looking at a new merchandizing opportunity here, folks.
Remember back in the early days of this program, when
the uh the left was telling us that we needed
safe sex out there, in the safe sex equal to condom.
And of course why I said, let's illustrate how effective
that will be. And I wouldn't out speeches, and I
(00:43):
put a condom over a microphone, calling it safe talk,
trying to illustrate that the condom would protect the audience
of anything offensive or rank that I might say. I
don't think it's too early here to start thinking about
e I V. Email condoms and in message condoms at
least prevent your keyboard from being stained other than your dress. Um.
(01:06):
The only way for safe emails to be sent the
e I B keyboard condom. Let's look at how the
Democrats are playing this. First off, it's sort of a
pattern in of you you go back and you look
at two thousand two and two thousand four, uh, in
terms of these mid term elections, and two thousand four
(01:28):
was again a year that they thought they were gonna
win big with carry and take back the House and everything.
They started off in this campaign season with the culture
of corruption. They We're gonna make real hay out of
Jack abram Off and Tom Delay number of other things.
And something came along and preempted that. William Jefferson Congressman
(01:49):
Democrat Louisiana, and Harry Reid and a couple of other
Democrats came along, gave them a problem advancing the whole
notion of the culture corruption. So they dragged Jack Murtha
out and they started going after the War on a
Rock war and terror and so forth and so on.
Uh and uh, they've they've been they've been lured now
(02:10):
back to uh uh the culture of corruption with the
Mark Fully story. They are all over the board. And
let me just tell you one thing. I'm gonna get
into this in greater detail as the program unfolds today.
But they do not find the people in the drive
by media that you've been watching and listening to all weekend,
and the Democrats, they do not find what Mark fully
(02:30):
did to be repugnant at all. They have defended such
behavior in the past, and they have gone out of
their way to see to it that those who have
engaged in such behavior might have been reprimanded and so
forth in a perfunctory way. But aside from mcgrievy, they
all hang on Marney, Frank Garry Studs, a number of
(02:52):
these people. They don't find what he did repugnant. And
you're not hearing one concern for the children. Uh, and
we still did this. Hey do not know what Folly
actually did, if he ever met any of these pages,
if he ever touched one of them, it's uh, it's
merely an instant message and an email scandal. Meanwhile, to
coordinate the attacks are totally coordinated. Sunday afternoon, Harry Reid
(03:16):
sent out a demand for the Attorney General to investigate
the Folly scandal. That was after the d n C
sent out a demand asking why Tom Reynolds covered up
Congressman Folly's so called sex crimes. Then this organization called
Crew has called for the House to appoint an outside
council to investigate the Folly scandal. And then Democracy twenty
(03:39):
one called on the House Ethics Committee to appoint an
outside council to investigate House Republican leaders. And they're handling
of the Fully scandal. Meanwhile after that, this is a
pure coordinated assault. And I'm gonna say what I think
is going on. I think the Clinton war room is
back up in full speed. I think that how long
has this Folly stuff been known by people were talking
(04:00):
about last year, earlier this year? Look how long may
hell the National Intelligence estimate before leaking it during this
this campaign? The situation with Janine Pierro in New York,
now all of her financial records have been subpoenaed by
the U. S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan. Say what I
think about that? Just as a little aside, I actually
(04:21):
think that, uh, they got to Jenny in because they're
bugging Bernard Carrick. And I think they were bugging Bernard
Carrick to get Rudy. I think they were bugging Bernard
Carrick to find out some dirt on Rudy because the
Clinton war rooms strategy. Uh, and the and the the
whole bill and Hillary political strategy is not just defeat
(04:41):
your political opponents, but destroy them. And so Fully is
here being destroyed. Delay was destroyed, not merely defeated. George
Allen attempting to destroy Jannine Pierro. They were attempting to destroy. Uh.
It's it's it's a pattern. And of course they're willing
accomplices in the drive by media are just salo fainting
over this. Uh. Meanwhile, while all this is going on,
(05:03):
Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana will vote for the next
Speaker of the House after the elections. He's not going anywhere.
Pelosi did ask him to resign, but but he said, nope,
not going anywhere. And they didn't push, they didn't force
the issue. Uh. So they did a perfunctory little demand
(05:26):
William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana hit the highway. But Congressman Jefferson said, nope,
I'm going nowhere. And that's that. And he is he's
still there. Uh. The circumstances here with with Fully or
what they are, and they're they're they're indefensible. Uh. And
(05:47):
I'm not even going to try that that that's not
the that's not the point. I want to try to explain, um,
why why this is happening, ladies and gentlemen. This is
a this is a circumstance here where everybody's saying, uh, well,
aren't the Democrats being rather hypocritical? And the Democrats there
aren't the Republicans being rather hypocritical? This is this is
(06:09):
the way this shakes out, and it's always been the case.
There is a different standard for Republicans as far as
the left is concerned. The left, the Democrats look at
at Conservatives and Republicans in the following fashion. Well, these
guys are family values types. They're all for law and order,
(06:30):
and they're always judging everybody else. But in the liberal view,
it's not possible for them to be hypocrites because they
sqw all judgment. They don't like judgment against themselves, and
whenever the people they look at as the as the judgers,
the people engaging in judgment have the normal human failings,
(06:51):
the liberals and the left pile right audit and call
them hypocrites. Uh. You know, Republicans are said to be
racist and sexist and bigot, bigoted, and homophobic. H. The
liberal policy. Liberal philosophy is to assume bad behavior, bad
human behavior. They assume it. They have a condescending look
(07:14):
towards people in general to what makes them liberals. People
are incapable of doing the right thing without liberals guidance.
People are incapable of making the right decisions to get
ahead in life without liberal guidance. They're incapable of earning
a decent living. Uh. And when the when these people
don't vote for liberals, then those people also become stupid.
Liberalism assumes bad human behavior and then coddles it as imperfect.
(07:40):
And after they coddle imperfect bad human behavior, uh, they
are able to say those who judge imperfections and people
uh and come out strong for right and wrong, the
simplistic black and white good versus evil people who come
out for law and order and so forth, they're the
(08:02):
sinners because none of us are perfect. The liberals understand this.
They coddle the imperfections. They create victims out of those
who are imperfect, turning them into a cause celeb and
blaming uh the right. Uh. These these draconian, uh, intolerant,
inflexible people who judge others while ignoring their own foibles. Uh.
(08:26):
This explains why the liberals are able to accept genocide
in places like a rock if it furthers their agenda.
There's everybody's you know, every everybody's flawed. Uh. Saddam Hussein's flawed,
and he's just a bad guy. We understand that we
need to understand this about about people. They expect the
worst from people, and they want the worst from people tolerated.
(08:50):
And that is a sign of compassion when you look
at the absolute dregs of society, worthless shreds of human
debris or other people who are simply in perfect in
one way, or which we all are by the way. Um,
they want to tolerate this as design a compassion. Their
view of Conservatives and Republicans is that we are intolerant
of anybody who's not like us. Uh, and and so
(09:14):
we must be made to pay the price for holding
a standard that they do not. They hate being. I'll
give you a quick illustration. When Clinton was elected during
the week leading up to the inaugural I've told you
this story before. He had all these parties and ceremonies
and little little get togethers on the mall in Washington,
(09:36):
and people like Aretha Franklin and there to sing and
other big lib time entertainers. And the list of songs
they were singing were songs uh like we Shall overcome
or we got out of jail today, all because a
liberal Democrat had been elected after the twelve years of
the judgmentalism of the Reagan and Bush years, they actually
(09:59):
felt read from a a a straight jacket of judgment
where they knew they came up short. They don't want
to be judged, and they love to go after those
who do the judging when there are foibles among those
on that side of the aisle. It's as simple as
what I have been saying, Power no matter what, uh
(10:22):
is to get their way. Uh. Power no matter what
nothing is to get in their way, nothing of reacquiring it. Uh.
The truth is that the people on the left who
are acting all outraged and stunned and angry, they don't
see what Clinton or Barney frank or Gary Studs did
(10:44):
as repugnant. In fact, a few of those things as
private matters that didn't affect anybody's work. And it's nobody's
business what somebody does with their private life. Particularly when
it comes to sex. Now, we all think this is
hypocritical and their part, but they don't look at it
as being hypocritical at all, because the party of mark
Fully to them is the party of judgment and who
(11:07):
gave them the right to judge anybody, even though the
Liberals are the ones that do all the judging and
genuinely condemn most people to incompetence and failure. As I say,
they don't find what mark Fully did repugnant. They're not
upset about that. They just see this as an opportunity, folks.
It's an opportunity to once again gin up hatred and
(11:28):
anti voting patterns for the Republicans. In all of this,
they still can't tell us what they believe in. They
still can't tell us what their policy and the rock is.
They still can't tell us what they're going to do
about domestic problems such as immigration. They don't dare They
still do not give people a reason to vote for them.
They're on the war path trying to get as much
(11:49):
hate and vilification as they feel revd up in the
general population for Republicans and George W. Bush no accident
that the Woodward Book is out now. Woodward even admits
his objective was not to get the truth out. His
objective was to get the book out prior to the elections,
and he's done that. Remember, they can't possibly find what
(12:12):
Fully did repugnant. They have defended it before when on
their side, on the other hand, you got Bob Livingstone
and Newt and a list of others who resign over
such things. The left celebrated for such things. Clinton is
still held up as a guy a lot of liberal
Democrat women would love to have some private time with
(12:35):
as long as he's good at hammering Republicans and hammering
the GOP and now hammering Fox News. You think this
is an accident they're going after Fox News before the
kind of stupid if you ask me, But they they
still are. Don't forget Nina Burley who once said she'd
give Clinton a b J just for keeping abortion legal.
Uh so, there's there's no This idea that they find
(12:58):
the behavior of Mark fully repugnant and unacceptable is just
b s. All this is is an opportunity that they've
been waiting for. People have known about this obviously for
a long time. You wonder how ABC got these emails
five weeks before the election. You wonder why Janine Piro
is being subpoened by the U. S attorney. You wondered
by George Allen's being destroyed on the front page of
(13:21):
the Washington Post for two to three weeks while the
racial epithets honored by his opponent go practically unnoticed. It's
a campaign. The Clinton war room is in full speed operation.
They cannot afford to lose this election. And oh eight,
I have my suspicions about all this because I know
the Liberals like every square inch my glorious naked body,
(13:43):
not just the back of my hand. And what do
we have here? We have really the instant messages of
the big deal, not the emails. Emails are sort of mild.
It's those I ms that got published. And how old
was this page when those I m s are going
back and forth? Seven seventeen? There's also now I just
have to ask the question, because I don't know. I'm
(14:04):
not around sixteen or seventeen year olds, but how many
of them save instant messages like that? Uh, just just
on their own? What I'm getting at is, uh, it
is not beyond the realm of possibility here at all.
That This was a setup from the get go because
of what people have known about Mark foley sexual orientation,
(14:26):
as they're now saying, uh, for many years. Here's a
supposedly ostensibly safe seat. Here we are in the election campaign,
with the Clinton war room in full speed operation, and
all of a sudden things that people have known for
a long time suddenly surface once again thanks to our
old buddy Brian Ross at at ABC. Now, if you've
(14:48):
got a sixteen or seventeen year old page genuinely scared
and frightened about all this, save the stuff. It's embarrassing.
What if somebody sees this outside of who you intend
to see it? I'm just thinking out loud here, what
if somebody got to the page? So you know, we
want you to set folly up when you do a
little titilating thing here, keep it and save it and
so forth. How would you get a kid to do that? Now?
Who knows? You threaten him or pay him as any
(15:10):
number of ways. Given the kind of people that we're
dealing with and talking about here. Uh Now, folks, I
don't want to be misunderstood here. I'm not trying to
mount any kind of a defense that's a bad word.
I'm not trying to uh get into a defense of
what Mark Folly did. Please don't misunderstand. I'm just telling
you that the the the orgy and the orgasm that
(15:33):
has been taking place in the media since Friday, and
with the Democrats, Uh, it's all coordinated and it's all
it's all oriented towards the election. There's no concerned about
the kid, no concerned about the children. Uh, there is,
there is. There's not even any real problem with what
Folly did. As we've discussed in their in their hearts
and minds and their crotches. They don't have any problem
(15:55):
with what Folly did. They've defended it all the over
the years. Now, according to The New York Times, the
FBI has begun a preliminary investigation into these emails of
Mark Foley and the page and these instant messages, and
the Speaker to the House, Denny Hastert, has asked a
question he since the communications appear to have existed for
(16:18):
three years, there should be an investigation into the extent
that there are persons who knew or had possession of
these messages but did not report them to the appropriate authorities.
This is from a letter that hasted sent to the
Justice Department. He said, it is important to know who
may have had the communications and why they were not
(16:39):
given to prosecutors before. Now, well, that's uh, that's a great,
great point. I don't know about you, but especially during
a heated election season, I don't believe in coincidence. And
Hassard Hastard is raising the uh point himself in his
letter to the to the Justice Department. Uh, I I
(17:02):
the timing of all of this. I mean, who benefits
from the timing of all this? You always look at that,
or I always do who benefits from this? Um? This?
This this has more to do uh about helping Nancy
Pelosi in the House Democrats then protecting teenagers, uh with
(17:22):
with whom fully was communicating. Why. I mean, if if
they've known about this, as people are saying for all
these years, then where is the concern for the children,
Where is the concern for what was going on with
this page unless they knew? Uh, there's there's too much
happening here of this. And I'm gonna folks will tell
you what. This is not anywhere near the end. We've
(17:45):
got five weeks to go, and I am sure that
there are other things in their hopper that they're going
to be whaa. Lookye here breaking news that has been
planned for months. I have no idea. What. Uh, there's
a coordinated assault on Fox News now. David Boder the
Associated Press has a hit piece on Fox News. And
(18:07):
there was the most ridiculous piece of the New York
Times weekend review section on Fox News yesterday that it's
all about how Democrats are fighting back, finally fighting back
at Fox News. It's the premise of that is mind
boggling to me. But they're trying to rev up their base.
They're gonna end up revving up the Republican base as well.
At the same time, had a great weekend with some friends,
are talking about all this stuff, and I I made
(18:31):
the point that the Clinton war room is back in action.
I Carville and Begala out there with their new book
Acting Juvenile wherever they go, uh, and just it's just
it's a pure smear and destroying machine. Somebody said, well,
what where are the Republicans on this? You know, how
how come the Republicans don't don't have a war room
(18:52):
type operation? Nice? Come on, you're asking this after all
these years that this kind of stuff is the Republican
couldn't smear a bagel with cream cheese if they had to.
It's just it's not who they are. It's not it's
not how they play. They look. They're not circling the
wagons around uh around fully They're they're they're not doing
any They're on the they're on the cutting edge of
(19:12):
hounding a guy out of town just as much as
the as the Democrats are. And you can't help but
think about about this stuff like Clinton. I mean, if
if Clinton had a fraction of a sense of responsibility uh,
such as delay or or or even fully um, he
(19:34):
would have resigned within an hour of the allegations of
Lewinsky or the Kathleen Willie revelations, maybe even the one
need to Broderick uh revelations. And if Mark fully behaved
the way Bill Clinton behaves, Folly would still be in
the House trying to smear the ABC reporters and threatening
to revoke the broadcast license. He'd be calling Bob Iger
(19:57):
at ABC trying to get the story retract and uh,
and he would get as many of his cronies in
his office and the Republican Party helping him out getting
back to smear. Instead, he just quit. He said, I'm
out of here. And one of the things, I actually
think his resignation has angered the Democrats because by quitting,
he's gone. I mean, they can't talk about him anymore
(20:19):
now They've they have to make this a Republican wide scandal.
If fully were still there, and if fully were fighting
us the way that Bill Clinton would fight it, the
way Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana would fight it, why
he would remain a huge target and they would be.
And they're still digging deep into his past, the FBI
looking at all this, but he's sort of taking himself
(20:41):
off the radar, checked into rehab. Is supposedly here because
of uh an alcohol problem. Yeah, I mean, it's just
it's sort of comical to watch this. Liberals show all
this mock horror at the comparison because the pages were
under age. But I don't know if he ever touched one.
Has anybody? Am I missing something here? Has there been
(21:02):
a story yet that he ever met the page or
touched the page UH in any of these suggestive ways
made public in the instant messages. Now this group crew
and I forget what this stands over. They're part of
the coordinated Efforts c R E w Uh. They have
had a crucial role in the in the revelation of
(21:27):
what Folly's instant messages were. And this is pretty well timed.
I don't, as I say, like Hastart, I don't believe
in coincidences. Uh. It turns out that this group Crew
has been behind the demands for investigations of Kurt Weldon,
Tom Delay, Sam Johnson, Richard Pombo from California, Santorum, Roy Blunt,
(21:48):
Bill Frist, Saxby Chamblist, Richard Shelby, Charles Taylor, a lot
of other Republicans. Uh. And then they also demanded an
investigation of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana after became clear
the Isaac Crook. Uh. And of course that that allows
them to say, hey, we are not partisan. Here we
are We're we're nonpartisan people. Now, this outfit Crew is
(22:10):
an i R S designated five oh one C three
not for profit group that means it's tax exempt based
on its representation to the government that it isn't political.
But they've gotten money from George Soros's Open Society and
a lot of other extremely wealthy leftists them. The bottom
line with all this is, once again, don't be fooled.
(22:32):
They don't find what fully did the slightest bit wrong.
They just see it as an opportunity to trash citizens
for responsibility and ethics in Washington. That's what crew is.
I was having a having a mental block out there. Nevertheless,
this is just an opportunity for them to point fingers
at the people they think are holier than now, the
Party of law and order, the Party of right and wrong,
(22:54):
Christian right, the moral and as such this I say,
there's a different standard. The Liberals never make themselves out
to be cleaning pure as the wind driven snow. They
never set themselves out to be anything superb in any
of those areas. So when they have their failings, nobody
can really accuse them of of hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is their
main weapon here that they're that they're using in this
(23:17):
in this effort to discredit the entire Republican Party, and
they're really feeling their oats. I've seen similar people on
TV over the weekend, and they are energized to the
point of being angry. Uh. But we'll just see I
you know, the abramof scandal was announced last week or
not there was an update in it somehow four and
some odd contacts in the White House with with Karl Rove.
(23:38):
And I don't think anybody cares. The Abramoft scandal has
has sort of worn itself out there. The emotional reservoir
that people have for that sort of thing is uh,
pretty pretty narrow, and it's not deep, and it's already
been um, it's already been spent. I didn't get the
impression that was a big deal. I tried to make
it a big deal. I think when it comes to
(23:59):
abrama type scandals, most people that vote in this country
assume that that standard operating procedure. In Washington, I mean,
when was the last time lobbyists were popular, Really, when
was the last time lobbyists for poputer? They haven't been
popular a long time. And the idea that there are
people like abram running around as a shock and of course,
(24:20):
sex scandals in Washington not new page scandals, not new
I think they're in the process of overplaying their their
hand here because once again, in all of this, we
still don't hear what they're for. We still don't hear
what they're gonna do when they reclaim their power other
than they're gonna do things smarter, but they don't have
an agenda that they there announced. Let's go to the phone,
(24:42):
Cynthia and St. Louis your first. Nice to have you
with us on the E I B Network today, High Rush,
I just want to say, as a conservative Democrats who's
been disappointed with both parties for a long time but
still votes Republican, I've actually considered sitting it out this
year because I began to see distinctions without much of
a difference. I've become disillusioned with Republicans also until now.
(25:06):
There are so many implications about this, most of which
you've covered. The one that really stands out in my mind,
which is why I voted for Republicans in the first place,
which is the hypocrisy of the Democrats when all this
was going on with with Bill Clinton. As far as
Kathleen Willie wanted to Broderick and Paula Jones, they were
(25:26):
trailer trash, dragon dollar through a trailer park, nuts and sluts,
all this stuff. That's what the Democrats did to the
what I believe were real victims of Bill Clinton. However,
you don't hear a peep out of the Republicans saying
anything about these angelic sixteen and seventeen year olds, which
I doubt so very sincerely. They're not standing behind Mark Folly.
(25:47):
I don't think he did anything criminal that remains to
be seen. It was Tawdrey. But I applaud them for
not doing both of those, for not the victims and
not standing behind Folly. It's a it's an interesting point.
I remember James Carville made the comment, you dragon dollar
bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll
pick up. I et Paula Jones. Uh. They did try
(26:08):
to destroy the reputations of any of the well. They
had a whole Bimbo eruptions unit that Betsy Right headed
up early in the nineteen nineties into the campaign of
nineteen ninety two. And anytime these women came up, it
was search and destroy, it was destroy him. Uh. And
and there were a lot of them, and the ones
that they did destroy sent a message to the other
ones to stay quiet. Look what will happen to you.
(26:28):
If the Republicans were the same, we'd be trying to
find his page, drag him through the mud, find out
everything about this kid talk about how he was this
or that and the other things. Set poor old congressman
fully up. Why all these people telling lies about Congressman Folly,
Why this is his unconscionable weekend? You're right, ex excellent point.
The Republicans are not circling the wagons around fully and
(26:51):
they're not going after the accuser like the Clintons make
a habit of doing excellent excellent observation out there, Cynthia.
I appreciate it. Then it's you bet Dennis in Chicago.
You're next. Great to have you with us today stairs,
we kick off a brand new broadcast week Hi, Rush,
probably be one of your over twenty million law informed listeners. Um.
(27:12):
I agree with your analysis, but you're spending it a little.
I mean, we should expect more from Republicans than this,
and and and you and others that have a lot
of influence should go after whoever cover this up. I mean,
what we expect Bill Clintons to go and do what
they do and wait, wait, wait, who's covering it up?
I'm not well, there are probably people within in Halfred's office.
(27:35):
They're saying that half staffers may have known about this
for quite some time. And we should expect more. The
democratically expect this behavior from that. We don't expect it
from Republicans. I don't think you're getting it from Republicans.
That's that's the point. Cynthia and St. Louis, I think
made a great point. There's a tremendous difference. Now. I
I saw Newt right before the program started. I saw
Newt was on one of the cable channels. They asked
(27:56):
him about this is I think that they didn't know
the standard this. I think a year ago somebody was
dispatched to talk to fully to set this down. It
was dangerous, it was improper, and they thought they had
it handled. Um. I we'll have to wait and see
who knew what when. But don't don't forget democrats knew
a lot too about what was going on and the
(28:18):
timing of all this. You know, it's it's it's um,
it can't be. It can't be divorced in the circumstances.
The Republicans are not trying to cover this up and
they're not trying to back out of it, and they're
not trying to I mean, they're leading the call for
the investigation into all this. But you don't You don't
think they're forced into doing that. I mean, I'm sure
they've know, like you said, they've known about this and
shouldn't tolerate there. This is the party that's in charge
(28:39):
of national security, and people expect no plan from the Democrats.
They expect the Democrats to behave like this. It's part
of just who they are. But we we, the Republicans
and the staffers, should not tolerate this. Well. This is why,
you know, when I say at the very beginning of
the program, there is a there's a double standard for
(29:00):
Republicans because they do portray themselves as the party of
loyalty and lay on art, loyal law and order, and
they portray themselves as, uh, the party of morality, what
with the Christian right and so forth. But I you know,
I think if you look at this, it seems to
me the Republicans are not being tolerant of this at all. Uh.
(29:22):
It's quite a comparison between the way the Democrats deal
with all this and the way the Republicans do. And
in the context of what's happening here going into the election,
don't look at this is spin. I mean, I the
Democrats are trying to create an impression about Republicans that
isn't true, as they always do. They are engaged in
personal seek seek can destroy uh smear missions here, and
(29:46):
they've got willing accomplices and drive by media that helped
them do it at each and every turn. And this
is a an opportunity here, opportunity. It's a circumstance. I
think that demands that Republicans you know, be the right
thing morally, which they're doing here. But understand the game
that's being played. Uh. We're gonna learn more about the
(30:07):
timing and of all this is the uh in the
coming days. Just I want to warn you, Dennis, this
is not the last of these so called revelation breaking
news stories. I think the entire campaign season from here
on out is going to feature a number of things
like this. I think they're laying in wait. I think
they're categorizing, they're on a list. Uh. They've been you know,
(30:28):
doing opposite and research, have this stuff ready to go, uh,
and it's going to be you know, released in a
systematic way, timed to just overwhelm the voting population with
negative ideas and thoughts about the very existence and humanity
of Republicans. Folks, you have to understand this. This thing
(30:48):
that's happening with Foley is not in a vacuum. Look,
George Allen delay, there's a political indictment, pure and simple. Uh.
Janine Piro in New York Coman, the National Intelligence Estimately,
this this is this is um what the Democratic Party
(31:08):
exists to do. It exists as this kind of an operation.
It's not a party that puts forth ideas. It's not
a party that's willing to debate those ideas. It's not
a party. They can't afford to. They have to destroy, discredit,
smear their opponents who they feel will beat them, embarrass them,
(31:30):
humiliate them, or what have you. Now. On the other hand,
you people, some of you people out there think that
I'm spinning, and I mean you you missed the point.
Let's take a look at the case of Congressman William Jefferson,
Democrat Louisiana. How long did it take for Nancy Pelosi
and a couple others in the House to make a superficial,
perfunctory request that he resign and what did it take?
(31:55):
It took finally a government document that he had ninety
thousand dollars in cold cash in his freezer. But remember
how that document came out, Remember that the Justice Department
raided his office. What did the Republicans do? Sided with
the Democrats, sided with Congressman William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana. Uh,
(32:19):
rather rather than UH rammed William Jefferson down the throats
of the Libs and demanded he get out of the
House for activity that is embarrassing and beneath the dignity
of the House of Represents. Whatever the hell you want
to say. They're just too damn stupid that they joined
with the Democrats to whine about Justice Justice Department getting
(32:40):
the records of Congressman William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana all on
the basis that the House is sancrosacks separation of powers.
We can't have the Justice Department coming in here, executive
branch or what have you. That's why I say they
they couldn't smear a bagel if you gave them the
cream cheese. It just not who they are. It's never
(33:01):
gonna happen. Republicans are not going to recruit a bunch
of lawyers who do nothing but go out and try
to destroy Democrats. They're just not going to do it.
Republicans have this claim, little old fashioned notion that elections
are about issues, and then they're gonna run on those
