I mean, you can nuke this stuff any number of ways. But there\u2019s even a better way to do it. Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Prize winner &#8212; who I think based on what\u2019s going on in Haiti ought to give the damn thing back. We now sent some Marines there. Did you hear this? We sent Marines down there to guard the U.S. embassy. <\/line><BR\/> Haiti. This is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. What are they fighting with down there, voodoo dolls? It is just&#8230; [interuption] What do you mean, I\u2019ve raised more questions than I don\u2019t give me this stuff. Don\u2019t throw this garbage back at me. I haven\u2019t raised more&#8230;if I have raised more questions, it\u2019s questions about them, not about me. Of course, I\u2019m raising more questions than I\u2019ve answered. Stop it, Snerdley, just stop it. You know what he\u2019s doing all day today? He\u2019s working Kerry magic on me. Everything I say, he\u2019s responding the way McAwful and John Kerry responds (laughter) and he\u2019s loving it in there. <\/line><BR\/>But let\u2019s not forget Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter was a great nuclear expert, right? Wasn\u2019t he? Great nuclear expert in the Navy, brilliant degrees and all this sort of stuff. Jimmy Carter was a typical lib. They hate nuclear. It\u2019s too dangerous. It\u2019s okay in the hands of the North Koreans. Nuclear is okay in the hands of the Iranians, but we can\u2019t have nuclear power in America. We can\u2019t. We got to shut down nuclear power plants. <\/line><BR\/>But we can make deals with the North Koreans to make nuclear power plants which they don\u2019t do and convert to nuclear weapons systems. Can you believe these people? Clinton, Albright, Jimmy Carter. They\u2019re all involved with the North Korea business. We cannot build nuclear power plants here, but go ahead and let the North Koreans do it, and they turn around and turn it into nuclear weapons plants. And now Iran is making hay on the nuclear front.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/lincoln__fdr__reagan__never_saw_combat.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"159\" height=\"271\" class=\"alignright\"\/> Jimmy Carter, when he was president. You people don\u2019t know this because there aren\u2019t a whole lot of people that remind you of it, but that\u2019s what I\u2019m here to do. When Jimmy Carter was president, he made the only oil-burning aircraft carrier we\u2019ve built in the last 30 years. The <emphasize>USS JFK<\/emphasize> is an oil burning aircraft carrier. It\u2019s not done! We\u2019ve had&#8230;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fas.org\/man\/dod-101\/sys\/ship\/cvn-68.htm\">Nimitz-class<\/a> carriers, nuclear subs, all this, and Jimmy Carter, to protect the world and the environment, thought nuclear was too dangerous so he built the only oil-burning aircraft carrier we\u2019ve built in the last 30 years. It\u2019s the USS JFK, the John F. Kerry, and it has to be followed around by a fleet of floating gasoline. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.navy.mil\/homepages\/cv67\/\">USS JFK<\/a> can go nowhere on its own. There is an actual flotilla of fuel boats that follow it around so it can get where it\u2019s going. On-surface refueling just like midair refueling, Jimmy Carter. So you let these libs anywhere near the reins of power, they\u2019re going to take us in giant steps backwards.<\/line><BR\/><strong><emphasize>END TRANSCRIPT<\/emphasize><\/strong><\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/lincoln__fdr__reagan__never_saw_combat.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronald Reagan, a soldier in the state-side army cavalry never faced combat, led us to victory over the Soviet Union and won the Cold War.
