RUSH: All right. It\u2019s time, ladies and gentlemen, for the moment that I have been waiting the whole program for. I\u2019ve been practicing patience and restraint. I know that there are other more pressing issues, and I have devoted myself to the discussion and exploration of those issues. But now, time to indulge myself. Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut! (That\u2019s the trumpet fanfare. It means an update is upcoming.) It\u2019s our new theme. It\u2019s the Sittin\u2019 on the Ports of Dubai. (Playing of Sitting on the Ports of Dubai spoof.) That\u2019s our old buddy Paul Shanklin with a takeoff on Otis Redding, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. What a great, great song that is — and port news!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got two different port deal stories today. First from the American Spectator, and actually, this is nothing that I wasn\u2019t aware of. I didn\u2019t realize how deeply <\/emphasize>involved these people were. During the initial thrust, if you will, of the port deal story, we gave you every bit of information we could find about it, including what you\u2019re going to hear now. ‘[W]hat do former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former EPA Administrator Carol Browner, and former Clinton Administration lawyers from the White House and the Department of Justice have in common besides their administration time together?\u2019 <\/p>\n

The answer is this: ‘They all earned millions working for the United Arab Emirates weeks before their roles became public in the sale of American-based port operations to Dubai World Ports. This shouldn\u2019t come a surprise to anyone; in fact, just about anyone who works with the UAE earns millions. But no one has earned more than former President Clinton. To his credit, he has hit up the UAE for more charitable money than just about anyone. By some estimates, the UAE has donated through various means as much as $250 million to Southeast Asia tsunami relief, Hurricane Katrina relief…\u2019 They did. They gave $100 million to Hurricane Katrina relief, and look what it got \u2019em! It got \u2019em nothing. It got them thrown out of the United States of America from the port deal. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also donated lots of money to ‘other humanitarian aid programs. ‘Former President Bush had a hand in that too,\u2019 says a former Clinton associate. ‘But it\u2019s former President Clinton who now has the very close ties to the UAE. He\u2019s the go-to guy now.\u2019 And Clinton himself has done well by this connection. According to knowledgeable sources, Clinton and his library [and Massage Parlor] have pocketed as much as $30 million from this relationship, including his consulting on the UAE\/Dubai World Ports deal.\u2019 Now, this is interesting because here it\u2019s back in the news that Clinton did consult. After he consulted, Hillary, his wife, comes out, takes the exact opposite position on the ports deal, and then Clinton has to be told in public by Hillary to shut up, that he\u2019s gotta coordinate anything he says in the future with her <\/emphasize>so that they don\u2019t appear at odds.<\/p>\n

The surprising thing to me about this was that he\u2019s ever <\/emphasize>been allowed to go out and speak on his own without running it by here, but here it is back again: he did consult. He denied it. (Clinton impression), ‘I never — I never — worked for those people. I mean, I knew they wanted the ports deal. I told them the 45-day thing. They\u2019d go for that, but I didn\u2019t consult these people and advise them on how to get this done. I — I — I — I was misreported in the news.\u2019 That\u2019s obviously not misreported. It was factual. ‘According to sources familiar with the ports deal…\u2019 (Laughing.) I just love those two words. Folks, I know you don\u2019t understand it and I can\u2019t explain it to you, but I just… <\/p>\n

‘The ports deal.\u2019 (Laughing.) It conjures up images, you know, J.R. Ewing and just all kinds of nostalgia plus the issue itself, but at any rate: ‘According to sources familiar with the DPW deal, Clinton put the UAE firm in touch with Albright and Browner, who is a principle in Albright\u2019s firm. Browner is said to have brought in several other outside consultants, perhaps some with ties to Republicans. She also brought in former Democrat Rep. Tom Downey, with whom she is said to have close ties. The two attempted to tag team Democrats on the ports deal once it became public.\u2019<\/p>\n

They were still advocating for the ports deal to be going through because they were paid consultants on it! It turns out the ports deal was a total Democrat deal. It was a Bill Clinton and his former associates deal — and I was on their side! It\u2019s a shock. I didn\u2019t know it at the time. ”This deal was almost entirely a Democratic operation from the beginning,\u2019 says another former Clinton staffer, who worked in the Clinton White House. ‘Folks like [former Republican Sen.] Bob Dole weren\u2019t brought in until after the [bleep] hit the fan.\u2019 However, former Republican Rep. Vin Weber, whose firm represents the UAE, may have been involved earlier in the process. Yet despite the ‘best and brightest,\u2019 the DPW deal went south once it became public. Democrats on Capitol Hill in particular latched on to the foreign ownership issue,\u2019 and even the Clinton-Albright-Browner troika <\/emphasize>could not save the deal.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what the UAE thinks of these people now, but they were paid and they were hired to get this deal done, and they couldn\u2019t get it done with Democrats up on Capitol Hill. ‘To date, Clinton and others involved prior to the ports deal becoming public, as I said, ‘have not registered as agents of a foreign power with the Department of Justice. No accurate timeline of their involvement in the ports deal has been released.\u2019 Something else I did know and made public at the time. Clinton is out there lobbying and now we know Albright and Carol Browner were lobbying, too, and they have not registered as agents representing a foreign government. <\/p>\n

That is against regulations. It\u2019s against the law. But, you know, the Democrats get involved in so many scandals. The Republicans never pursue \u2019em. They just don\u2019t. They didn\u2019t pursue any <\/emphasize>scandals. I\u2019ve got a list of them here. I\u2019ll get to it in a second. The GOP didn\u2019t pursue half of them. Did you see McCain got booed by a union crowd out there talking about some things? I\u2019ll tell you, there\u2019s (interruption). Yeah. (McCain impression) ‘Shut up! Shut up! I\u2019m leaving if you don\u2019t shut up!\u2019 He was talking about immigration ad he said, ‘All right, who in here wants to pick lettuce for $50 a head?\u2019 And he got some takers! He didn\u2019t expect there would be any takers because he believes that picking lettuce is a ‘job that Americans won\u2019t do.\u2019 <\/p>\n

For 50 bucks an hour there are a lot of Americans that would go out there and pick lettuce and he was surprised. (interruption) Did you ask me if I would? Is that what you said? No, I wouldn\u2019t. I said there\u2019s some Americans that would. Another ports deal story. ‘Dubai Islamic Bank and Dubai World today announced the launch of the first of its kind $5 billion family of private equity funds to participate in strategic transactions on a global basis. Dubai World is the holding company of Dubai Ports World. The family of funds that will be launched over the next year and a half comprises seven specific private equity funds covering strategic sectors: energy, financial institutions, infrastructure, real estate, health and education, general industrials and technology, and media and telecommunications. <\/p>\n

‘Dubai Islamic bank and Dubai Ports World will seed investors in each fund. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive chairman of Dubai World said, ‘This project will raise one of the largest and highest profile family of funds in the world as a manifestation of Dubai\u2019s position as a leading financial center.\u2019 The $5 billion family of private equity funds will be leveraged to complete transactions in excess of $10 billion.\u2019 So we iced them out of the ports deal; we froze them out of the ports deal, but did they go skulking away crying in their beer — well, they don\u2019t drink beer. Crying in their whatever. Goat\u2019s milk? No. They did not. They\u2019re making plans to take over the world in other ways now. We\u2019ve just angered them, folks.<\/p>\n
