Apparently the sheik over there has advised DPW, Dubai Port World, &#8216;Just get out of it. Just get out of it.\u2019 What Warner wants to do is set up a way they can sell the US part of the deal that they\u2019re buying from the Brits and to a separate entity. Now the phrase &#8216;American entity\u2019 is not actually included but that\u2019s of course what everybody is hoping what entity that is, but apparently there\u2019s some action being taken by Republicans in the Senate to see to it that DPW is not harmed <emphasize>financially <\/emphasize>by this. <\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to make enemies over all of this. House Republicans may not be interested in this deal. They want to kill this, and they may not care if, you know, &#8216;Okay, it\u2019s up to the Brits to find somebody else to buy these ports.\u2019 Well, DPW has already bought them. That\u2019s the thing. So, at any rate, the port deal is essentially over. It has been killed. It\u2019s dead. The House Republicans did it to the chagrin of Democrats in the Senate. They thought they were the face of things. They thought they were the ones that should get the credit for it, which was what this was all about in the first place which was who could be the first to say, &#8216;I killed the port deal. I did it! I did it! Look at me. Notice me! I killed the port deal,\u2019 because there was such an outcry out there. So the Republicans in the House did an end run around it Democrats and the Democrats are now&#8230; (Laughing).<\/p>\n<p> You know what\u2019s funny to me about this? There\u2019s a lot about this that\u2019s funny, I must tell you. I know a lot of you have been tired of the port deal. I love the port deal story. I think there\u2019s so much wrapped up in the port deal story. I\u2019ve had more fun with the port deal story, learning about it. It\u2019s one of my proudest moments as host of this show. I may be on the wrong side of the deal. Well, we won\u2019t know now. I could have been wrong about it, but this is one of my shining career moments, is this port deal. You don\u2019t know how I feel. You\u2019ve got a mad tsunami of hysteria out there &#8212; not based on any thought &#8212; and I dared to look into it and said, &#8216;Ah, it\u2019s not so bad. We can live with this. This is pretty good.\u2019 I enjoy these moments, and they don\u2019t happen by design. They happen by fate and circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>Even the name of it, &#8216;the <emphasize>port <\/emphasize>deal,\u2019 is so wrong. It\u2019s not about &#8216;ports.\u2019 It\u2019s about &#8216;terminals.\u2019 The port deal! You can describe it this way. This is the best way to describe it. Peggy Noonan has a column, and let me find it. Peggy Noonan has a column today in the Wall Street Journal about the Oscars, and she has a paragraph in this piece that I want to read to you about George Clooney, because Peggy here is making a point that I have been trying to make recently about the media and how everybody gets caught up in the media and whatever the media says becomes what people\u2019s lives are. She chose to write about it this way: &#8216;The Clooney generation in Hollywood is not writing and directing movies about life as if they\u2019ve experienced it, with all its mysteries and complexity and variety. In an odd way they haven\u2019t experienced life; they\u2019ve experienced media. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8216;Their films seem more an elaboration and meditation on media than an elaboration and meditation on life. This is how he could take such an unnuanced, unsophisticated, unknowing gloss on the 1950s and the McCarthy era. He just absorbed media about it. And that media itself came from certain assumptions and understandings, and myths. Most Americans aren\u2019t leading media, they\u2019re leading lives. It would be nice to see a new respect in Hollywood for the lives they live. It would be nice to see them start to understand that rediscovering the work of, say, C.S. Lewis, and making a Narnia film, is not &#8216;giving in\u2019 to the audience but serving it. It isn\u2019t bad to look for and present good material that is known to have a following. It\u2019s a smart thing to do. It\u2019s why David O. Selznick bought &#8216;Gone With the Wind\u2019: People were reading it. It was his decision to make it into a movie from which he would profit that gave Hattie McDaniel her great role. Taboos are broken by markets, not poses.\u2019<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Well, there are a couple of great lines in here. &#8216;Most Americans aren\u2019t leading media, they\u2019re leading lives,\u2019 and it would be nice to see a new respect in Hollywood for the lives that they live rather than taunting. Forget stuff about Hollywood here. The fact is, this port deal was a drive-by shooting. It was a media drive-by shooting. They came in there, and they hailed and lobbed a bunch of mortars, grenades, started firing bullets and everybody went running for cover &#8212; and they\u2019ve made a huge mess out of things, and nobody knows what happened but it\u2019s governed everybody\u2019s lives or that\u2019s been involved in this for the period of time we\u2019ve been in it. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>One of the things I\u2019m happy about is that the drive-by missed me. I didn\u2019t get caught up in it. The last thing I did was say, &#8216;Dubai? Port deal? Screw that! Hell no! Arabs? Terrorists? Turbans? Not me! No way!\u2019 But everybody else was doing that. There was some reasoned opposition. The <emphasize>Democrats <\/emphasize>are the ones. They were the ones that were just saying it. Oh, we\u2019ve blown an opportunity to expose these people again as the frauds and the phonies that they are, but that opportunity will present itself numerous times between now and the next election, because it\u2019s the way they live. So yes, my friends, I\u2019m going to miss the port deal, as a Stack issue. I am! I\u2019m trying hard not to let it go now, but I have to. It\u2019s been a great story. It was a great opportunity for learning and education.<\/p>\n<p>We got to do a little bit of that here in the two weeks we in earnest spent on the port deal. You people in this audience are more informed than I\u2019d say 80% of the members in Congress that voted on this or will vote on this about what this deal actually was and what it wasn\u2019t. It <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/port_story_was_great_opportunity_for_learning.Par.0009.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"324\" height=\"110\" class=\"alignright\"\/>was all because you, too, avoided the tsunami. You avoided the media drive-by, and you are living your life, not &#8216;living media.\u2019 A quick time-out as we move on. I have other news. Oh, one other story here. I\u2019d better do this while I\u2019m on the subject here. This is from the New York Sun today. &#8216;The State Department yesterday stressed the importance of plans to station at least 10 diplomats in Dubai to monitor the Tehran regime,\u2019 that\u2019s Iran, for those of you in Rio Linda, &#8216;and support Iran\u2019s pro-democracy movement. The move was intended to assure a restive Congress of the Bush administration\u2019s commitment to containing the Iranian nuclear threat. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The siting of the monitors in Dubai reemphasized that the president and the State Department believe the United Arab Emirates is a strong American ally in the war on terror at a time when the Dubai government is facing hostility from lawmakers over [the port deal]. The Dubai monitors, and the setting up of American radio and television stations beaming into Iran, would address &#8216;a serious divergence between our capabilities and the profound challenges before us concerning Iran,\u2019 [said] the undersecretary of state for political affairs, Nicholas Burns&#8230;\u2019 The bottom line is this, ladies and gentlemen: We are going to send ten new diplomats to Dubai. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to set up apparently what sounds like versions of Radio Free Europe and TV Free Europe and we\u2019re going to beam these signals into Iran to try to let the freedom fighters and freedom lovers there know that we support them. Dubai, a <emphasize>willing <\/emphasize>partner, has just allowed the news to be made that these broadcast facilities will be<emphasize> in their country. <\/emphasize> This is not going to please old Mahmoud, that wacko lunatic president of Iran. It\u2019s not going to make him happy at all. So here\u2019s the UAE going out, branching out with us in this war that we\u2019re having, this dispute, with the Iranians &#8212; and the story also mentioned that 345 lawmakers are in favor of using Dubai in this manner. I just thought that I would&#8230; Three-hundred-forty-five lawmakers have already indicated an excitement to support this legislation and this program, and so I just thought that you should know that. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right, here\u2019s what John Warner said. He was on the floor of the Senate this afternoon. He announced the DPW, Dubai Ports World, move because he was contacted by the chief operating officer of DP World, a man by the name of Edward &#8216;Mohammed\u2019 Bilkey. I\u2019m just kidding. There\u2019s no Mohammed in it. Here\u2019s Warner.<\/p>\n<p>SENATOR WARNER: I\u2019ve just been contacted by Edward Bilkey, chief operating officer of DP World, and in an effort to get this message to all interested parties as quickly as possible I indicated a willingness to read a press release that is now being issued by DP World and Edward Bilkey. It reads as follows: &#8216;Because of the strong relationship between the United Arab Emirates and the United States and to preserve that relationship, DP World has decided to transfer fully the US operation of P&amp;amp;O Ports North America to a United States entity. This decision is based on an understanding that DP World will have time to effect the transfer in an orderly fashion and that DP World will not suffer economic loss. We look forward to working with the Department of Treasury to implement the decision, end statement. His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, prime minister of UAE, has advised the company that in the interests of the UAE, the nation and the United States that this action is the appropriate course to take in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So he actually read the statement that the CEO sent him, and they called over at DP World &#8212; they called over at Dubai place &#8212; got anything to add? &#8216;Nope. The senator read our statement. That\u2019s all we have to say right now. We have nothing else to add.\u2019 So we\u2019ll see where this goes. This whole thing, folks, there\u2019s a way to describe this. There is a word to describe this. It\u2019s just been a disgrace. This whole thing has been a disgrace. It has been an embarrassing thing as an American, for me to watch the way all this has transpired. Anyway, Holly in Los Angeles, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s just occurring to me, two things. I\u2019m wondering what your thoughts are on what the ramifications are going to be <emphasize>beyond <\/emphasize>Dubai, and the other Arab countries.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t care, because now the Democrats are worried. They\u2019re on the board. Chuck Schumer cares about national security, so I feel safe now. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whatever the UAE does to retaliate, I am not concerned.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, it\u2019s just going to cause more American hatred, and also how does Bush salvage relationships with them, with Dubai &#8212; I mean, with the UAE?<\/p>\n<p> RUSH: Bush won\u2019t have any problem salvaging relationships. Bush is the one guy that tried this. Bush and Clinton. Clinton\u2019s got the big problem. Clinton\u2019s the guy that greased this and wasn\u2019t able to make it happen. Clinton is the guy. He did. He did. I don\u2019t think Bush is going to be a problem with it, but that\u2019s not Bush. What\u2019s Bush going to do to heal this rift with the Republicans? I\u2019m telling you something: Bush is going to be needed for <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/port_story_was_great_opportunity_for_learning.Par.0010.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"90\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>these elections coming up this year. Bush is still the biggest fund-raiser these clowns in Congress have and they\u2019re going to be there. You watch. They\u2019re going to be knocking on the door and they\u2019re going to be asking to fly on Air Force One with him when he goes back to their state and they\u2019re going to be asking him to do fund-raisers for them, and they\u2019re going to have to put this rift back together politically because Bush still has two years of his presidency after this election, two-and-a-half years, and I guarantee you he still has an agenda and he wants a Republican Congress &#8212; although it hasn\u2019t been doing him much good lately, he certainly doesn\u2019t want the House led by Nancy Pelosi after next November. Jennifer in Mesa, Arizona, hi. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush, it\u2019s great to talk to you. What I wanted to say is that I think that the next time anybody attributes to you the ability to exert monolithic control over the will of the United States and, you know, to get people to follow along with you as mind-numbed robots they should look at this example because you\u2019ve been gung-ho and a hundred percent for this from the very beginning and you had no power to stop this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Nope, that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: You\u2019ve often said that the people of this country get exactly what they want.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They do.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Regardless of you, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: When they make themselves heard, the people of this country get what they want, nine out of ten times &#8212; seven out of ten times. That\u2019s why our system works. You don\u2019t always win elections, sometimes you don\u2019t get what you want, but when you make yourselves heard, as happened in this case with members of Congress&#8230; But, you know, the mind-numbed robot allegation about you, the audience, and the pied piper allegation about me, that has been made from the get-go and it will continue to be made. Remember: when I become a news story there\u2019s an action line for me being in the news, and it\u2019s never going to change. Accuracy and me, in terms of how I\u2019m reported on, is never, ever going to happen. I stopped caring about that a long time ago. But I didn\u2019t weigh in at the very beginning of this. You know, I didn\u2019t have a fair playing field out there. <\/p>\n<p>When I started weighing in on this, 80% of the people had their minds made up, and my task &#8212; if you were looking at it in the context of your call, Jennifer, my task &#8212; was to go out there and change the minds of 80% of the American people. That\u2019s a real challenge. That\u2019s not feasible and possible on an emotional issue like this. I wasn\u2019t emotional. They were. Everybody was emotional. I don\u2019t argue emotion. I really don\u2019t, not on a deal like this, and so I think obviously it got dicey for the Republicans in Congress because Peter King was out there ripping me, blaming me for some of the lack of enthusiasm to oppose the deal. Apparently there was enough persuasion going on from behind this (tap), the Golden EIB Microphone, that it alarmed Peter King and he had to go all over television to counter the effects of me and this program. I didn\u2019t go all over television. I went home and lived my life when this program was over. Here\u2019s Bob in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Bob, welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, hey, thanks for having me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019ll tell you what. I came through my door wall this morning, after a brief shopping spree and I was watching C-SPAN and you made reference to somebody had made, and Congressman David Obey was on there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And he made the comment, &#8216;Most of us in the House have not heard or hadn\u2019t heard that the Chinese communists &#8211; had taken a port over in California.\u2019 It\u2019s like, I hit myself with the palm of my hand and the middle of my forehead, and I said, &#8216;Where were you years ago? What is going on?\u2019 I heard it. It was on all the cable networks. It was on the networks. Where are you people?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s what Obey said. We haven\u2019t actually done a poll to find out how many members of Congress don\u2019t know that the ChiComs have extensive holdings on our left coast ports. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Right. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If Obey is out there saying he didn\u2019t know it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: He didn\u2019t know it!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8212; then Obey\u2019s mental mapping may be off. His human geography may be failing here it may just be the result of bias, but still, he said it. It\u2019s an anecdotal story but I will tell you this: <emphasize>I wouldn\u2019t be surprised.<\/emphasize> I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there are a significant number of members of Congress who do not know, not only that it\u2019s the ChiComs who own extensive port operations, terminal operations on the left coast, that they own both the Pacific and Atlantic entrances to the Panama Canal. I don\u2019t know how many people know that. One thing I\u2019m not going to do is rehash all this because it\u2019s a done deal. Dubai ports is pulling up stakes, pulling up anchor, going to sail the seven seas, heading out somewhere else so we\u2019ve got to find a new entity here to make the ports better and secure &#8212; except they\u2019re the best in the world at it. I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/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\/port_story_was_great_opportunity_for_learning.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: John Warner announced on the floor of the Senate today that he\u2019d gotten a letter or note from the Grand Pooh-Bah of the United Arab Emirates.
