RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, before we get into the political news of the day, I want to play for you something that happened this morning on the White House lawn; the largest welcoming ceremony ever in the history of the White House for Pope Benedict XVI. We have audio sound bites of the president\u2019s greeting to the pope, the pope\u2019s response, and I saw something that genuinely moved me. I was sitting here staring at this and listening to this, and I was just blown away by it. Two things happened. The event and the music itself moved me like I haven\u2019t been moved in quite a while, and the setting where it took place and the reason that it was happening. I mean, I\u2019m sitting here thinking, divine intervention today at the White House.<\/p>\n

The Battle Hymn of the Republic was sung by the US Army Chorus, and you have to hear this, particularly if you haven\u2019t had a chance to have your TV on today or your radio, and you didn\u2019t hear this. You have to hear it and you have to imagine a crystal-blue sky, a crisp day in Washington, the pope and the president on the reviewing stand with others, the camera occasionally focusing on the US Army Chorus. You realize, this is at the White House, and a song written in tribute to God is being played at the White House. In this country there has been such an effort, and it has been way too successful, to remove God from anything public. Not only was God present, but the largest White House welcoming ceremony ever participated in a ceremony thanking God and respecting God and offering up a tribute to God, and you just have to hear this. It runs about 4:47. It\u2019s infectious, so well done. The US Army Chorus, The Battle Hymn of the Republic.<\/p>\n

(playing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic)<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is just beautiful. I\u2019m at a loss for words to describe the impact that had on me, and I was not even paying close attention. I was looking at the computer and I had the TVs on, which are to my left when I\u2019m sitting at the computer. I heard this start, and I told Cookie up in New York, ‘Get me the song. I want the song as part of the audio sound bites.\u2019 She said, ‘You can hear it?\u2019 I said, ‘I can always hear God\u2019s music.\u2019 The Battle Hymn of the Republic, that\u2019s the US Army Chorus, and that was at the welcoming ceremony for His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI at the White House today. Again, the largest welcoming ceremony in the history of the White House. Here\u2019s a portion of President Bush\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: In a world where some treat life as something to be debased and discarded, we need your message that all human life is sacred and that each of us is willed, each of us is loved. And your message that each of us is willed, each of us is loved, and each of us is necessary. In a world where some no longer believe that we can distinguish between simple right and wrong, we need your message to reject this dictatorship of relativism and embrace a culture of justice and truth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is just fabulous. This is exactly what this country needs at this time. It took the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI to bring forth a discussion — a discussion I have been so desirous that happen at the highest levels of our elected leadership, a discussion of American exceptionalism.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Two sound bites from the pope today at the greeting ceremony, the welcoming ceremony at the White House. Once again, as you know, folks, I have been begging, I have been clamoring, I have been asking, ‘Where is the discussion in this country of American exceptionalism? Where is it in this presidential campaign?\u2019 It\u2019s nowhere to be found. You won\u2019t find it. It took the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI for a discussion and statement of American exceptionalism to be made.<\/p>\n

POPE BENEDICT: From the dawn of the republic, America\u2019s quest for freedom has been guided by the conviction that the principles governing political and social life are intimately linked to a moral order based on the dominion of God the Creator. The framers of this nation\u2019s founding documents drew upon this conviction when they proclaimed the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights grounded in the laws of nature and of nature\u2019s God.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And one more.<\/p>\n

POPE BENEDICT: All believers have found here the freedom to worship God in accordance with the dictates of their conscience, while at the same time being accepted as part of a commonwealth in which each individual and group can make its voice heard. As the nation faces increasingly complex political and ethical issues of our time, I\u2019m confident that the American people will find in their religious beliefs a precious source of insight and an inspiration to pursue reasoned, responsible and respectful dialogue in the effort to build a more human and free society.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And he continued on, and he ended it by saying God bless America. He\u2019s a big fan of America, Joseph Ratzinger is his prepapal name. He\u2019s from Germany, as you can tell. But it was just uplifting to me. I take this stuff personally. I love this country. I love anybody else who loves this country, and I don\u2019t care who it is that requires or necessitates or creates this discussion, gets it started, of the concept of American exceptionalism, whether it\u2019s the pope or whether it\u2019s somebody else. But I really wish that some of our own elected officials in power, leadership positions, would have the guts to speak of it in that context rather than wringing our hands and whining and moaning about how hard we have it and how horrible things are and how unfair life is and all the other things that people have become comfortable whining about. Thanks to the pope and the president today for this remarkable, remarkable ceremony at the White House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Diane in South San Francisco, I\u2019m glad that you called. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good morning, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted you to know that your emotions this morning at hearing The Battle Hymn of the Republic were shared by president Abraham Lincoln at the time of his Gettysburg Address in 1863. An Army captain who had been a prisoner of war in the Civil War had gotten together a male chorus and went around singing at fundraisers, and when Abraham Lincoln heard it, his eyes welled with tears and he shouted, ‘Sing it again!\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: I kept singing it myself over and over here for the rest of the time. Really, I was singing the chorus over and over again. In addition to everything else that it is, it\u2019s infectious.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, did you know this bit of trivia — and I will let you get on to more important calls — Julia Ward Howe wrote that in one evening in her hotel room after someone suggested she revise the original poem John Brown\u2019s Body, the abolitionist song, she wrote all five verses of this beautiful Battle Hymn of the Republic, and sold it to the Atlantic Monthly for five dollars.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Five dollars.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It was printed in the Atlanta Monthly for five dollars.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that is what it is. There\u2019s something poetic even about that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, it is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, Diane, I appreciate the phone call.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. You know, folks, I\u2019m an emotional person, but I don\u2019t express it publicly on this program much. It\u2019s tough to do. Not hard, not difficult to do, I mean I have no problem doing it. It\u2019s just coming up with the right words to reflect the way this hit me today emotionally as I was watching it, the timeliness of it, the brilliant performance, the perfection of the voices and the articulation, the musical accompaniment, the shots of the pope and the president watching in awe, listening in awe. The whole package, you watched it, you couldn\u2019t help but be profoundly moved by it, given all that is happening in the country and the world today. It was powerful and there were lots of meanings, and some of them subtle and some of them just blaring. It had it all. This ceremony today had everything in it, and they moved from one item to the next, was not overly long, each element was bam, bam, get it, move on to the next. You were exhausted at the end of it, even though there was no frantic energy during it. Just brilliant. It was brilliantly conceived, flawlessly executed from start to finish.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I gotta play this for you again. We did this to open the program today. The welcoming ceremony for Pope Benedict XVI at the White House today, the largest welcoming ceremony in White House history, and it was just breathtaking. A crystal-clear blue sky, crisp day in Washington, DC, just gorgeous, the pope and the president up on the podium, welcoming speeches have been made, and then it was time to turn to the US Army Chorus, one of the most moving and touching, powerful, beautiful renditions of The Battle Hymn of the Republic that I have ever heard. It stopped me in my tracks of show prep today to watch this. I wanted you to hear the full version of it, God in Washington today.<\/p>\n

(playing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wow. I got goose bumps listening to it again. American exceptionalism celebrated in Washington today with the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI. That\u2019s the US Army Chorus, the United States Army Chorus with one of the most profoundly gorgeous and beautiful renditions of that song, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, that I have ever heard, and I wanted to share that with you again. I\u2019m sure C-SPAN will be replaying this. No network would replay this. Fox carried it live, but I don\u2019t think the networks are going to repeat this portion of it live. I don\u2019t know if it moved them or not. It\u2019s nobody talking, there\u2019s no news being made, except to me. I think it\u2019s huge news. In a presidential campaign which focuses on the rotten nature of the United States; the rotten nature of certain citizens; on the hopelessness that we all supposedly face; the fact that America is despised and hated around the world; that our reputation is in tatters; that our economic situation is bleak; that people are being thrown out of their homes every day; that they cannot afford food; they can barely afford gasoline; interest rates are plummeting, which is bad for seasoned citizens who live off the income of their portfolios. Everything is just rotten to the core. There\u2019s nothing about which to be happy in the United States of America.<\/p>\n

This is the theme day in and day out throughout the presidential campaign. It has been the theme day in and day out of media coverage for the last six years. It has been the theme of liberal messages to this country via the media and the Democrat Party for as long as I have been alive, albeit a short interruption in that when the Clintons were in the White House, then of course everything was hunky-dory and rosy. Amidst all of this pessimism, amidst all of this, the US military can\u2019t win in Iraq, that we have basically surrendered, that there is no threat to the United States other than our own hubris and arrogance. Amidst all of this, Pope Benedict XVI arrives today, and in his remarks, praised the United States of America, blessed America, spoke of its greatness, traced to our founding and our Founding Fathers and our nation\u2019s acknowledgement that we are what we are and who we are for one reason, and that is God. Amidst all of this negativism, pessimism, today American exceptionalism was the focus at the White House, long overdue and punctuated by this dramatic and goose bump-inspiring, chill inspiring rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic by the US Army Chorus. Also, Kathleen Battle led a group singing of happy birthday to Pope Benedict XVI today, and that was beautiful. One of the classiest and one of the nicest renditions of happy birthday I have ever heard. Just a great event. Didn\u2019t last long, but it was powerful.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. One more piece from today\u2019s welcoming ceremony for Pope Benedict XVI at the White House, the arrival ceremony on the South Lawn. God was in Washington today. God\u2019s everywhere, but God showed up for this country in Washington today. Kathleen Battle, lyric soprano — she was born in Portsmouth, Ohio; she\u2019s formerly of the Metropolitan Opera — sang The Lord\u2019s Prayer.<\/p>\n

(singing of The Lord\u2019s Prayer)<\/p>\n

RUSH: This happened on government property today: The Lord\u2019s Prayer, Kathleen Battle; also The Battle Hymn of the Republic from the US Army Chorus. I can remember when I was a kid, this is the kind of thing that happened in Washington, and they\u2019d bring a TV in the classroom — or have an assembly — and the kids would watch it, just like a space shot, because it was such a rare thing. This is only the second time a pope had visited the White House. Six popes had been to the country, but only two of them have come to the White House; Pope Benedict XVI being the second one. So for 45 minutes, half hour this morning (laughs) on government property, there was no doubt for anyone to see, no doubt whatsoever the roots, the history, and the traditions and the founding of this country.<\/p>\n
