Face-to-face discussion between Hannity & Rush. DON'T MISS THE SURPRISE ENDING of this podcast. A new song from Australia.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

The song – Here in America -- you are about to listen to is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio Concert.

They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it!

Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered 'politically incorrect'. Consequently, the song was never released to the Public. So America, see what you think.

A national treasure has gone the way of all the earth. Paul Harvey has died. Radio will never be the same. I'm still stunned in learning of Mr. Harvey's death. Like others in this great nation, I grew up glued to the radio when his radio show came on. Although I never met Paul Harvey, I count him as a friend and I will miss him greatly. "Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation's history," so says ABC Radio Networks President Jim Robinson -- and I agree. I also know that Paul Harvey is happy to once again be in the company of his wife Angel who preceded him in death. Listen to Paul's voice one last time.

Colbert Report: During an interview on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report", former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan compared the Iraq war to World War II. Buchanan, who was promoting his new book, said that both wars could have been avoided, and that Germany and Iraq "did not threaten the United States." Buchanan went on to say that he "does not believe a war with Iran is necessary", and disagrees with John McCain about meeting with Iran, saying "we outta talk to the Iranians."

NPR Interview with Ronald Kessler, chief Washington correspondent for NewsMax.com and author of The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack

"A powerful and brave book. Kessler makes it clear that if we win this war, it will be because of the FBI and CIA professionals who have protected America since 9/11. If we lose the war, it will be because of distortions by the mainstream media, those who leak operational secrets to them, and politicians who undermine those who are trying to protect us."

—R. James Woolsey,
former director of Central Intelligence

When you view this clip you'll get a good feel for what happens to an aircraft when it hits a concrete wall. Many of you have heard Michael Moore, Martin Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell and others ask the question: 'If it's true that a Boeing airliner hit the

Pentagon, what happened to all the parts of it? Why did we not find more pieces of it? Where did all that mass GO?'

Well, for those who question what happened to 'all the mass of that airplane', watch.

The attached video clip is of an Air Force engineering test of a concrete barrier that was to surround a nuclear reactor dome, to see if it would indeed survive an aerial attack.

With the high speed cameras rolling, they attached an F-4 Phantom to the sled and then pumped up the speed to 500 MPH. So what happens when an 'Unstoppable Force' meets an 'Immovable Object'? Watch in slow motion as he F-4 turns to vapor.

You'll probably play it more than once just to believe it.

By leaving out all these facts — never even mentioning that the subjects of its investigation had converted to Islam — CNN committed professional malpractice.

Its "special investigation" is nothing more than a politically correct whitewashing of the truth aimed at pleasing Muslim groups like CAIR, which has argued that "there is no indication that this case is related to Islam or Muslims."

DON'T MISS THIS ONE -- A series of short interviews with Yuri Bezmenov – a former KGB agent & Soviet defector. He explains the psychological warfare methods and results used by the former Soviet Union.

The main battlefields are psychological, political and economic. It also encompasses revolution, violence, terror and limited military skirmishes.

Is there a parallel for us in America today? Could the same reasons that destroyed Rome have weaken America at a time when we now face yet another enemy – that of Radical Islam which is also out to kill us all.

If we’re to survive whatever forms of attack that will yet come from Radical Islam – we must understand and accommodate this message. Our United States is the last bastion of real freedom – the only effective protection against what is now the world’s greatest evils – the godless socialist-communism conspiracy and that of Radical Islam. Both seek to destroy all we hold dear as a great Christian nation.

On April 9, 2004, insurgents ambushed a convoy guarded by the 724th and took U.S. Army Private First Class Maupin, then 20, captive. There have been conflicting reports on his fate. He was seen alive on one videotape, reported killed on another. Without proof of his death, the Army presumes he is still alive. His family fervently prays that is so.

From another era, an unwavering voice speaks slowly, its gravity punctuated by ministerial pauses: "Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. ..."

It is now clear from her own words and the words of those who accompanied her to Damascus that our House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has in fact committed a felony in traveling to Damascus last week as she communicated against the wishes of the President to not communicate on foreign policy issues with Syrian President Bashar Assad. As stated in the Washington post "... this is dangerous and very wrong." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become a “useful idiot" to our enemies.

Congressional hijinks and radical Islam at work. Will some Congressional leadership go to jail or simply pass "GO" for $200? Hear Bridgette Gabriel talk to The Heritage Foundation and address how her life changed because radical Islam took over her country. Then wake up – radical Islam wants you dead – wake up before it is too late.

Being on Capitol Hill yesterday (9/10/2007) was a remarkable experience for Bridgette Gabriel . As she and her assistant pulled into the Capitol under heavy security, they looked around in utter amazement as heavily armed SWAT teams with their fully loaded M16s stood with hands on triggers ready to fire, covering the Capitol and its surrounding streets. You would expect to see this in Israel — but not in the United States. It is a chilling sign of the times we live in and a harsh reminder that we are at war with Islamofascists who are bent on killing us.

Bridgette's presentation on Capitol Hill was one of the most important presentations she has ever given. The room filled quickly after the 9-11 ceremony on the steps of the Capitol. She began speaking at 7:30 PM. You could hear a pin drop as Members of Congress sat there stunned, listening to the details she was sharing.

There were no journalists, no cameras, and no CSPAN. With the doors shut Bridgette let the truth fly. Bridgette was more candid than she has ever been in any public presentation -- if you can imagine, even more so than in this podcast.

The members who attended were so moved and so motivated that they want to organize a major meeting to have Bridgett present to the entire body of Congress, House and Senate, Republicans and Democrats. They are going to reach out to their colleagues who were not at yesterday’s briefing and urge them to get involved as well.

Listen to this podcast and you to will be moved and motivated by what you hear.

Some in Congress trying for authority that the U.S. Constitution does NOT give them.

Totally unscripted and unrehearsed interview with one of my nine year old grandsons. Joshua wanted to tell his friends about his Venus Fly traps.

Illegal immigration clearly explained.

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged." -- President Abraham Lincoln. The nonbinding actions of Congress may not be illegal, but they are certainly putting our great nation -- as well as those of our friends -- in peril during a time of war. It is time to once again reflect on what constitutes inappropriate behavior in time of war.

Mexico has no place in U.S. internal affairs.

World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi -- author of the best-seller “Unfit For Command” -- is reporting that the Mexican government was directly involved in the initation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment.

Corsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate.

See the article at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54243

The White House is said to be overwhelmed with calls
for agents Ramos and Compean. We must keep the pressure on high.
Please make it a point to call the White House and demand a
full pardon for the agents, and an investigation into this case.

Use either of these two numbers: 202/456-1111, 202/456-1414.

I also encourage you to contact your Congressmen and Senators
by calling:

Why some marchers on the nation's capital are more equal than others in the eyes of the main-stream media.

Ok, so this podcast did not occur five minutes following the President's remarks, but I just couldn't pass up making my own response.

Listen to the state of the union speech **without** the many long sessions of applause and it is much shorter.

SPECIAL REPORT: Former Border Agents Ramos and Compean have begun their 11 and 12 year prison terms for their attempt to apprehend an illegal alien drug smuggler.

Grassroots pressure continues to build on behalf of these agents and it's
working! Congressman Hunter is calling for a Congressional pardon and
President Bush made his first public comments on the issue. Bush indicated he is open to a pardon and noted "there's a process for pardons" and the case had to work its way through the system.

Make no mistake--the only reason the President made this public comment is because of grassroots pressure. We must keep the pressure on!

More than 225,000 petitions were presented to Members of Congress and delivered to the White House (See photos). Grassroots wants to take 300,000 back in the next week.

Here is an interesting discussion put on by The Heritage Foundation regarding the realities of counter-terrorism and Homeland Security as viewed through the “window” of the TV Show “24”. This presentation includes a speech and Q&A session – first talk -- with the Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.

Listen carefully to Roy Beck's celebrated demonstration of the population consequences of current U.S. immigration policies has entertained and shocked ... all audiences across the country. This audio is packed with the facts and analysis that make moral and practical sense of a complex and highly contentious issue.

"Immigration by the Numbers" is the celebrated demonstration that Roy Beck has been giving to scores of audiences across the nation, as well as on many TV programs, including C-SPAN. Using colorful, eye-catching props, he entertains and shocks audiences with the population consequences of current U.S. immigration policies. Thousands of people across the country are finding that there is no easier way to communicate their concerns about immigration to friends, relatives and fellow citizens than by showing them Roy's video - or hearing this podcast

The favorite part for many is the "gumballs" demonstration that illustrates the unethical nature of our immigration policy which drains the smartest, most energetic people from Third-World societies which desperately need their leadership. Taped before a college audience, the feature presentation is only 16 minutes. It is ideal for use in programs of luncheon organizations, church study groups, college and high school classes, and simply at home among friends and relatives.

I also recommend viewing the video -- it is free -- (http://www.numbersusa.com/about/posters.html) is packed with the facts and analyses that make moral and practical sense of a complex and highly contentious issue.

Montana cowboy overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture ...

SIG’s Kadet trainer was one of the first, and one of the best, RC trainers ever designed. Through the 30+ years it has been available, the .40-sized “Kadet” has taught the mysteries of airspeed control, proper attitude and basic aerobatics to tens of thousands of new RC pilots. The old Kadet still lives on in both the updated Kadet LT-40 kit and the Kadet LT-40 ARF. Both versions are still helping to train more RC pilots, as they are two of the easiest trainers to fly.

A few years ago SIG introduced a larger version of this proven airframe as the Kadet Senior ARF. The 70” wingspan of the .40-sized Kadet is increased to 80”. The wing area grows from 910 sq. in. to 1,200 sq. in. The larger airplane weighs 7.75 lbs, just 29 % more than the smaller, original version. The much larger wing and moderate weight increase result in a low “wing loading”, only 15 ounces per square foot of wing area. These are very good numbers for so large a plane. I for one enjoy flying this airplane.

One example of leadership in action.

This video shows the Marines in action.

"The failure of many Americans, including many of the leading Democrats in Congress, and some Republicans, to fully appreciate the persistent, long-term threat posed to America's liberties and survival, and to the future of Liberal Democracies everywhere, by an Islamic Resistance Movement that envisions a world dominated and defined by an Islamic Caliphate of religious totalitarianism, and which will fight any war, make any sacrifice, suffer any hardship, and pay any price to achieve it, may prove to be the kind of blunder upon which the fate of America turns, and falls."

Regarding the song at the end of Paul's remarks. In March, 2005, this song was performed at a Diamond Rio concert. They received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered politically incorrect. Consequently, the song was never released to the public.

If this song speaks to your heart, share it with friends and loved ones. Then let us cease being the silent majority and join together -- not as a particular political party, but as Americans!

With equipment available to me in 1985, I was lucky enough to record an interview with the man I called “Uncle” before he passed away. Uncle had much to do with guiding me through my formative years. His influence is present still today.

The interview took place in the farm house where I grew up. We sat at the kitchen table with the windows open and we can often hear the birds in the nearby trees. Occassionally we hear a passing car going past this country home – we even hear the alarm clock that I still treasure.

In presenting this second of a series of three recordings, I have been careful to retain the timing and pace of a relaxed, midwestern conversation with my closest friend who was then 80 years old.

Cpl Eric Lueken memorial.

Cpl Lueken was twenty-three years old. He died on April 22nd in combat operations in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. With his entire life before him, Eric risked everything to fight for the values Americans hold close to our hearts. Eric was a 2001 graduate of Northeast Dubois High School of Dubois Indiana. He joined the Marine Corps in October 2003. He previously served in Afghanistan for eight months, before heading out to Iraq in March.

Eric was killed while serving his country in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Forced based at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Eric was known for his dedication to his family and his love of country. Today and always, Eric will be remembered by family members, friends and fellow Hoosiers as a true American hero and we honor the sacrifice he made while dutifully serving his country.

When Eric's body returned to Indiana late on the evening of 11 May, over four thousand men, women and children, lined the streets of every small town that we passed through, from Louisville Kentucky all the way to his home town in Dubois. It was the most amazing showing of patriotism I have ever witnessed in 20 years in the Marine Corps. Just to see the outpouring of love and respect to this fallen warrior warmed my heart and inspired me and others to carry on in this vital mission to defend our country and the freedoms we hold dear. God Bless Cpl Lueken, his family and those serving in harms way this very hour. You are always in our prayers!

What a great blessing to be asked to speak on this Easter Sunday. The events that surrounded the resurrection of our Savior are of great significance and comfort to us all. They, along with his birth, fulfill prophecy and bring a hope for eternal life for all who follow Him.

But what of the time between these two events, between his birth and death and resurrection - what, more specifically, happened during the years of his active mortal ministry? This ministry that was heralded by John the Baptist who spoke of One yet to come, whose shoelaces he felt he was unworthy to loosen. Incredibly, the events that would fulfill the purpose for His coming -- numerous and wondrous as they were – would take place in the space of only a short three-year time period. What of the miracles, the parables, the sermons, and yes, what of the great example He gave us by the perfect way he lived his life? It is upon that period of time that she focused her remarks.

Thanks for listening.

If this clip makes you mad or causes you to laugh,
please pass it on to your friends and continue to share
the truth about the liberal media.

I thought you’d like to know that while the U.S. Congress still debates various plans to deal with illegal immigration and border security following 9-11, other “major players” have plans now in place that will cause the U.S. to have "economic and security integration" with Mexico in just four more years.

This is an article summary of "U.S. Invasion an inside job?” published April 1, 2006. With a small subscription fee, you may read the entire article in Joseph Farah’s G2Bulletin; http://g2.wnd.com

If you are very patient -- keep watching your regular news sources for more details on this new “North American Community” being worked by what amounts to a "shadow government." I know, I was in disbelief at first myself.

The book "Saints at War: Korea and Vietnam" combines almost 150 remarkable stories from veterans around the world. Here is a letter to home from an ordinary soldier in the Vietnam War that shows great valor and self-sacrifice.

Your guess is as good as mine as to the original author, but it certainly is a story worth repeating.

U.S. military officials believe financial incentives help explain why troops face bigger and more powerful bombs.

Does this most recent proposal have the ring of common sense? See what you think.
