Time Text
I know.
I know I'm just putting some things in order here.
Calm down in there.
Well, what a day this has been.
If you are just tuning in, ladies and gentlemen, if you are just hitting your car and headed home or headed to the bar, maybe get arrested there if you're in Texas, you have missed a humdinger.
It's Friday and let's live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yip, Yahoo!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your golden opportunity to actually bring things up on this program that I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
Monday through Thursday, we only talk about things that I care about.
It's my show.
I am a benevolent dictator.
But on Friday, I will allow any of you to bring up whatever you want to talk about.
And we have gone in directions.
The previous two hours, this show has gone up.
None of us expected that this show would go where it went today.
We've had some fabulous open line Friday calls, had some just hilarious, uproarious ports news in the first half hour of the first hour.
I mean, to me, some of it's serious, but the whole story now is just humorous.
And I'll tell you why it's humorous.
People say, how come you're laughing at port security?
I'm not laughing at that.
And you people know that.
I'm not laughing.
I love tweaking people.
And I know when I bring up the port deal, that some of you just have fists clench and your veins pop out on your neck.
And I just love tweaking you.
We also had a number of calls on manliness today.
Apparently last night in the NC2A game between Gonzaga and UCLA, one of the star players for Gonzalez.
What is his name, Morrison?
Is his name Morrison?
I understand, by the way, this guy is a huge campus radical lib.
I have also, somebody's emailed me about that, which would explain this public, embarrassing, unmanly crying in the center of the court.
A 26-year-old woman from Los Angeles called to ask my thoughts on it.
I said, well, actually, what would be more interesting are your thoughts?
You're a woman.
You think it was manly or not?
I think there's no crying in basketball.
Like I say, folks, Lou Gehrig never cried.
Terrell Owens didn't cry.
And Mike Tyson didn't cry either.
That was Mace.
What else?
Oh, yeah, Katie from Detroit, who's got a communist professor, and she's been signed to write a paper in defense of capitalism.
And she asked me some advice.
I said, reject the premise.
You tell this guy in your paper, capitalism is not what needs to be defended.
Things he believes in need to be defended because they failed everywhere they've been tried.
What else has happened on this program?
It's just been all over the place.
And this hour, I'm sure, will be no different.
I also want to replay, if you're just joining us, a replay a soundbite from the first hour of the program.
Yeah, how long will it be before the libs say that the Texas drunkenness law was aimed at Bush?
If you haven't heard about this, there's a law in Texas now.
You can be arrested while drinking in the bar if somebody thinks you're drunk.
And a lot of people are upset about this because it's not against the law to drink.
Public drunkenness is against the law, but how do you determine it in there?
How do you determine?
You walk around and give everybody a breathalyzer test in the bar.
What if they have no intention of driving home?
And what if they're publicly drunk, but you can't tell?
I know that's, you know, the law is not aimed at Ted Kennedy.
And if it were, it's not going to nab him because he's not going to set foot in the state.
Not after this.
All right.
Earlier this week, how should I describe it?
The fading feminist Erica Jong rhymes with appeared on the Today Show hosted by David Gregory, and she's got a book, a new book out.
It's called Fear of Flying and Seducing the Demon, Writing for My Life.
And in this book, she admits to having a dream and fantasies about an affair with Bill Clinton in her apartment at Columbia.
And both of their spouses walk in on them.
She's describing this.
So she was an NPR yesterday, and the host asked her about this.
He said, you talk about your fantasies about Bill Clinton, your night in jail, why Martha Stewart's angry with you.
Is that just a discreet way of saying all those things?
Yes, it was great.
Actually, it was great.
You know, I really made it this week because Rush Lindbaugh denounced me on his radio show.
So I'm really proud.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
He said, this is what the left wing does.
They have fantasies about Bubba.
Now, did you hear that giggle?
Yeah, okay, we've isolated that giggle.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't profess to be being an expert in women, but I don't think for this you need to be an expert.
I think this giggle, she mentions my name and being denounced by me on my program and then giggles.
Here's that giggle again.
Sort of an embarrassed little, oh, I think the truth is she has a fantasy about me.
In fact, I think all these libs fantasize about me, not in the way they fantasize about Clinton, I think, actually have nightmares about me.
But there's something to that giggle, you know, that is telltale.
It's a bit of a giveaway.
Also, oh, I have a montage here.
Audio soundbite number two, the media.
The media, after getting dazed for a day or two, now getting angrier and more defensive about the charge that they're only telling half the story out of Iraq and that their half-story reporting is providing useful propaganda tools for the enemy.
And so they're insisting now that there is no one-sided reporting.
It is the news out of Iraq that's bad.
There is no good news there.
It's not their fault that the news is bad in Iraq.
And they've got a new mantra, don't blame the messenger.
Here's a montage.
It is a political strategy to shoot the messenger.
This is nonsense.
The news isn't good in Iraq.
And it's our fault?
I beg to differ.
Is this a little bit of Kill the Messenger?
Blame the Messenger.
When things are going badly, blame the messenger.
We shouldn't attack messengers.
The news out of Iraq has not been good.
When we go out and speak to Iraqis, they emphasize the bad news.
That's what news is.
It's bad news.
The president's supporters are blaming the messenger.
Blaming the messenger.
Shoot the messenger.
The public blames the messenger.
How to keep shooting at the press without being caught with the gun.
I really, you know, we've commented on the fact.
I think this program has led the way in illustrating one of the most fascinating things that happens in the mainstream media.
Remember when we played for you the montage of must have been 30 news people all talking about Dick Cheney bringing gravitas to the administration as vice president.
This is back in the early days.
Bush is a lightweight, a frat boy, a towel snapper.
And Cheney would be the one to bring gravitas.
They all use the word.
It's all the same.
No matter where you go, ABC, CBS, NBC, whatever.
It's all the same angle of every story, the same story, the same angle, the same take, and these words.
Now, here we got shoot the messenger.
There was another one this week.
I forget what it was, incompetence.
And the way they talk about the Bush administration, every network, every anchor, every reporter that talks about Bush or the story is talking about him being incompetent.
It's amazing.
The question is, who decides this?
Who decides what word?
During the gravitas, in fact, Cookie, if you're around, we've got all this stuff archived on computer.
Get this gravitas thing, because this goes back a number of years.
Mike, let me know when we have that, ready to go.
Because it's amazing.
But who chooses the word?
There has to be, you know, like people think there's one guy setting the gasoline price.
All right, for all of these people to use the same word, no matter where they work, whatever what paper, magazine, network, somebody has to choose the word.
And then how do they get the word out?
Okay, somebody chooses the word gravitas.
That's the word to describe Cheney.
That's why we're going to put Bush down.
He doesn't have gravitas.
Cheney does.
This is where they hated Cheney.
What do we, I don't know, who chooses it?
And how do they then advise everybody in the click that that's the word?
And this is the one thing I still haven't been able to figure out.
We'll get to that.
I'll take quick time out.
Your phone calls are also coming up.
Sit tight.
America's anchorman returns El Cuico.
Little Spanish lingo there for you immigrants.
Stay with me.
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic, first and second-hand cigar smoke, premium cigar smoke.
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's anchorman and truth detector, doctor of democracy, here on Open Line Friday at 800-282-2882.
Now, we got this montage, this gravitas business.
We've been discussing amongst ourselves here the question, how in the world does this stuff happen?
And we think we've come up with a theory, which we'll get to in a moment.
The media is out there today.
And last night, oh, Bush is just blaming the messenger.
He just blamed the messenger.
That's the mantra that's going on now.
It was towel snapper, by the way, earlier in the week.
All of them were talking about towels.
Bush being a frat boy towel snapper.
Must have had eight different reporters using that phrase.
But they are the messenger.
They are the messenger of the lib anti-war movement because that's who they are.
Now, the hang on yourself.
I'm going to get the date here, ladies and gentlemen, the gravitas montage comes from, let me take a cigar out of my mouth, a great cigar.
Gravitas montage is from 2000, and it occurred within a day or two of Cheney being chosen to be vice president.
Here it is.
He is a man who meets all of George W.'s weaknesses, lack of foreign policy experience, lack of gravitas.
I think now when Gore's trying to make the case of lack of gravitas against George W.
Now we look and we see the son who is seeking some gravitas to say to people that he is an intelligent man.
There's been a lot of talk.
They were looking at older candidates, candidates with gravitas.
He's had health problems.
He's worked for a big oil company, but he has the gravitas.
And you can sum it up in one word, stature.
I really believe that George W. Bush needed that perhaps more than anyone in recent memory because if there is a rap about him, it may go to the gravitas issue.
If the question about Governor Bush was one of weight, or to use the favorite phrase of the moment, gravitas, what he gets is gravitas, a sense of weight, competence, and administrative ability.
I've got to strengthen it in some fashion.
I've got to bring gravitas to his tickets.
He does not need anybody to give him gravitas.
It means that, you know, Bush, Gore has experience in gravitas.
I think he also needs to demonstrate some gravitas, too.
were put on the tick by former President Bush to give gravitas to the ticket.
Well, Dick Cheney brings congeniality and he brings gravitas.
He does seem to bring some vigor as well as gravitas and stature to the ticket.
It's called gravitas.
You certainly have gravitas tonight.
He displayed tonight as certain gravitas.
Six years ago, folks, six years ago, well, about five and a half.
So we're talking amongst ourselves here.
How does this happen?
I mean, we had, I can't tell you the number of different people here.
It's in our montage.
But they represent every network.
They represent practically every newspaper.
Even politicians, Democrat politicians are in that montage.
So we think we've figured it out.
It's incorrect to assume that there is a single individual, a man behind the curtain, coming up with all these words and then somehow electronically distributing the latest word or by faxing it or what have you.
Here's what we think happens.
We know these people hang around with each other.
It is an incestuous community.
The D.C. journalist culture.
It's incestuous.
They're constantly talking to each other.
They're constantly socializing with each other.
And they're always talking to each other.
And whichever one of them, when they're talking about something that they hate, dislike, resent, as the Bush administration fits that bill, say after this episode when Cheney is chosen, they go in with their preconceived notion Bush is a lightweight frat boy.
He's an idiot, even though he's got a Harvard MBA graduate from Yale.
He's an idiot.
He's a total idiot.
Had to go get Cheney.
Somebody said, yeah, Bush, such a lightweight, gives gravitas.
And somebody said, that's really snarky.
That's really good.
And so they start talking among themselves.
They such and such came up with the word gravitas, and they don't care to plagiarize.
They just use it because to them, they're all one industry.
Even though they work at different networks and different magazines, they're all in the same industry.
And so that has to be how it happens because I just can't believe.
And it's interesting, too, that the mainstream press, the drive-by media, it's amazing.
They come up with like one or two-word thing, like towel snapper, that was the way to describe Bush earlier this week.
We did a montage on that, frat boy towel snapper.
And we've done countless of these.
And it has to be from their close association with each other, day in, day out, night in, night out.
And these things just pop up and they just spread like in a big click, which is what they are.
Rob, Bob, sorry, Bob, in Coronado, California.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Thank you.
Rush, I've been seeing a lot of crying at Little League out here in nine and ten year olds.
It just seems like it's the last few years when kids strike out mild failures during the game, suddenly just burst into tears as they're coming back to the dugout.
And, you know, I'm not sure exactly why it is.
I mean, I...
Are you a coach?
Why?
I coach.
I mean, I'm a doctor by trade, but just helping out, you know, Little League.
Have you seen it get to the point where, say, a Little League shortstop, a nine or ten-year-old will blow a ground ball and cry actually out on the field?
On the field, their eyes, you can see them well up, and I mean, they're done.
I mean, you can just see their, you know, it's all.
Well, this is unacceptable.
It is.
This is unacceptable.
We thought this was an isolated incident last night.
At least I did.
I've never heard of this much crying in sports.
This is not good.
This does not portend well for the future.
He literally pulled his jersey over his head and laid prone on the floor, and you could see him sort of sobbing uncontrollably.
And I think some of it may be attention-seeking.
I mean, he knows at the end of the game, of course, he was welling up in tears with three seconds left.
They still got to win the game and got off a good shot.
But he was done at that point in time.
I mean, it's like I quit.
The game's over.
And we're seeing that at a younger age.
And parents.
Yeah, I mean, if nine and ten-year-olds are striking out and crying after a strikeout, first, second, or third inning.
Absolutely.
I mean, they're being sensitized this way by somebody.
This is not because I played Little League Baseball.
Nobody cried except when he got hit by the ball.
You got cried when there was, you cried if there was extreme physical pain, but you didn't cry when you struck out.
I mean, Tom Hanks wouldn't even let the babes in that movie League of Their Own cry when they were playing during World War II.
I appreciate the call, Bob.
This is distressing news to me, America.
Exactly.
That's precisely what this program is about.
Real life, we don't engage in fantasies.
We don't engage in pretend.
We deal with what is.
Happily so, I might add.
800-282-2882.
Here's a story, no doubt, left over from the Bill Clinton secret wiretap and intercept program.
A Rockville Center man.
For those of you in Riolinda, this is out in Long Island.
Well, you know where that is.
Never mind.
Rockville Center man was arrested for sending area women sexually explicit letters and panties in the mail, according to Nassau police.
Over the course of 15 months, Harris Roth, 36, allegedly sent out seven raunchy letters, police said.
Roth targeted women with whom he worked at a catering service in East Rockaway or women he knew from his neighborhood.
He also sent women's underwear to two of his alleged victims.
It was not clear why those women were targeted with accompanying panties, but a working theory is that he was particularly attracted to those victims.
I'm telling you, this has got roots to the Clinton administration.
This guy, some undercover operative that the Clinton administration targeted, and that's how we even know about this.
The correspondence began on December 20th, 2004.
Roth, who has two prior arrests for similar crimes, was arrested Thursday after the cops identified a fingerprint on one of the envelopes.
Peggy in Ocala, Florida, you're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
My pleasure.
I've been listening a little bit this afternoon about the effeminate why, Peggy, if I may, why only a little bit?
Exactly.
I didn't know if it was just me because of the position that I'm in, dealing with a lot of kids in the middle of a hormone flux of my own at this stage of life.
I think that there's way too much hormone in the meat for the young boys.
There's so much estrogen pumped into the meat.
You mean, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You mean the meat that they're eating?
Yes.
My daughter does a lot of babysitting, and over the last five to eight years, we've just noticed children that we even are very familiar with becoming much more feminine.
And that's the little boys.
As their parents take them off the hormone-infested food product, which is eggs.
Wait a minute, Peggy, I wasn't aware that we're adding estrogen to beef.
I eat a lot of beef, and as far as I know, I'm still pretty manly.
You probably don't eat that much.
Well, I probably eat more than some little crumb cruncher does.
I wouldn't think so.
Not with the milk and the oh, it's not just the meat and the estrogens in every.
Oh, okay.
Well, how there's a way of discovering if this is true.
Does your daughter who babysits, are these young boys retaining water?
That would be one of the sure signs.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
And their parents will take them off of the hormone.
They'll put them on hormone-free, which is really big in the grocery stores now, hormone-free milk and eggs and the meat, and they completely change.
I hate this.
I haven't been at a grocery store in five years, so I didn't know that you.
It actually says hormone-free on the carton?
Yes, much.
Eggs and milk.
Dawn, is that right?
It is right.
She's right.
You know, I'm losing my.
I'm going to have to schedule a trip to the grocery store.
Where else do I need to go?
The health food store and find out what the hormones are doing to your body, especially the estrogen.
And it just promotes any type of process.
Peggy, why is this being done?
What government agency is deciding that we all need estrogen in?
Well, I'm not sure, but they can get a lot more meat off of a cow that's been fed estrogen and a lot more.
Oh, yes.
They want a lot less.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
They want to produce as much grade A prime as they can, and they want to fatten them up as fast as possible.
It's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Right.
So you just got to be concerned with the little boys.
And you had said yourself that people cannot be programmed mentally to be more sensitive, just like the little boys can't be programmed to play with dolls.
No, no, no.
Mentally.
No, no.
Well, I didn't use the word programmed.
It's back to trucks and army men.
Right, right.
So we can't mentally program them to cry.
It's got to be physiological.
They're really upset.
They're really sensitive.
Well, this would explain all these little leaguers crying after something as common and insignificant as a strikeout.
Yeah, I think it's physiological.
I don't think we can mentally program them to be more sensitive.
I think that that's just part of the need that has to be met.
We've got a bunch of sensitive children.
I don't know.
You can probably do a little bit more investigating on it than I can.
I just have seen it in my own life with the children around me and the parents that have taken them off the hormones.
No, I tell you, I appreciate a heads up.
We've got an investigative arm here at the EIB network, and we're going to look into this.
I'm telling you, folks, this program today has gone in directions that I never anticipated it would go.
Here we are discussing estrogen in food that is being consumed by unsuspecting young boys, and it's turning them into a bunch of wimp crybabies.
That's the allegation.
And, well, this now, it's interesting.
It's interesting.
At the same time that the estrogen appears to be elevated, estrogen levels appear to be elevated.
Look at all the instances recently here of teachers behaving promiscuously and raping, if you will, statutory rape against young students.
There is something happening out there.
There has to be, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know what the teachers are eating.
Apparently, we're all eating it.
Unless you go buy the stuff that says hormone-free.
Well, I know not the vegetarians, but you're getting your own dose of stuff.
You think you're eating healthy in there when you're eating vegan food, but I guarantee.
Here's Doug in Somerville, New Jersey.
Doug, thanks for your patience.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
I'm never better, sir.
Thank you.
I understand that.
Rush, I was calling about the vote last Friday in the Senate to raise the federal debt ceiling, and in particular the Jim DeMint Mike Crampo proposal, which would deposit surplus payroll tax dollars and personalized bank accounts for each U.S. worker, was voted down 53 to 46, with every Democrat voting against it and eight Republicans and voting against it.
They basically voted to raid the Social Security Trust Fund, which is empty anyway.
I took it they voted to continue to raid it.
Yeah, if they voted to continue to raid it.
Yes.
And I was wondering if you could comment on that and if you would be so kind.
Your call screener gave me the names of all of the senators.
I'd like to read them if I could.
No, I don't want to do that.
We'll put them on the website.
We'll put the story.
It would take too long to read those names.
Okay.
Basically, if you could comment on that, and also, like, for instance, if you were a conservative, let's say in Maine, which I'm not, and you were going to vote for Senator, and Collins and Snow were two of these people.
And what do you think of the strategy of staying home and not voting?
In a place like Maine, where conservatives are a minority, it's not going to accomplish anything.
People have asked me this throughout my career here as a leader of the conservative movement on the radio.
And it's come up generally among single-issue people.
I'm not voting, I'm not going to vote Democrat, but I'm not voting for, I'm going to send a message and so forth.
I'm not a big believer in that, just as I'm not a big believer in the strategy of, okay, let's go ahead and vote for the bad guys and let them win and show everybody how bad they can make it so that we'll really clean up next time.
Some people had that strategy with Clinton.
I'm all for going out and trying to win every election and not conceding.
I mean, if some, you know, in the House races, you know, only about 20 or 25 of them are competitive because of redistricting.
But in the case of Olympia Snow and Susan Collins, they're not conservatives anyway.
They're liberal Republicans, and they're going to win in that state.
It's just a fact of life that they're bending to their majority constituents there.
Now, as to this vote, I think the best commentary on it is what Jim DeMint said in his statement following the vote.
He said, sadly, 53 senators turned their backs on America's seniors.
There is simply no way to save Social Security if we don't have the courage to stop using the surplus as a secret slush fund.
I'm thankful there were 46 senators who stood with America's seniors to end the raid.
We will not be deterred by senates who offer no solutions.
Those who voted against this amendment voted to raid Social Security.
Now every senator will be on record whether they oppose or support the raid.
This said absolutely nothing about personal accounts.
It was about whether you believe Social Security should be saved or allowed to wither on the vine.
Here's the, I'm going to tell you what's going to happen with this.
I don't know if it's going to happen in, I fear it will happen in my lifetime, but it's going to happen in some of your lifetimes if this is not dealt with.
And it's going to, the Democrats are going to pay a huge price for this when this happens.
The president, as you know, tried to institute Social Security reform, and he tried to sell the whole concept of private accounts, but they missold it because the way they sold it de-emphasized security, and you have to deal with people's perceptions.
Perceptions in politics are reality.
And the fact is that gazillions of Americans look at Social Security and see the word security.
It means safety.
It means it's always going to be there.
And the plan was touted as, we're going to give you ownership.
It's your money.
And so we're nothing going to change.
If anything, the amount of money that you get when you retire will be even bigger, even larger.
But that brought risk in people's minds into the equation.
And risk does not equal security.
Security equals security.
And when you start talking about investing, all it takes is for one down day in the stock market and a bunch of demagogues, you want your social security money in that?
Why, look at what the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost today.
No, I don't want.
No, you try to get into the intricacies.
Wait a minute.
You got to look at market averages over long periods of time.
10, 20, you're going to have this money in this account for a long period of time.
Guaranteed it's going to increase in value.
Well, I don't want to take the chance.
I've seen too many stock market crashes.
No, you haven't seen one stock market.
Well, I don't want to see one either.
So they missold it.
The Democrats, and here's my point.
When this was all over, the Democrats celebrated, just like they originally celebrated, we killed the Patriot Act.
We killed the Patriot Act.
Then they started acting like they care about national security when the porch deal, ha ha, got to say it again, came along.
Well, they did the same thing after Social Security.
They were giddy and they were happy, and they said, we kept the president's hands off your Social Security.
Well, at some point, if nobody's hands get on that program and fix it and reform it, and this is just one small example of it here, and the trust fund, this is, it's sort of a myth anyway, it's an accounting thing, but they just apply the trust fund money to the general revenue and they lower the deficit by so doing when that money is not available for anything but social security.
It's not really there anyway because we're already running a deficit in social security.
The whole thing is just a mess.
And that's the problem.
If nobody down the road has the courage to fix this, then one day all those soundbites of the Democrats say, we kept the president's hands off the Social Security.
You're going to come back and bite them bad because the program is going to be in crisis.
And they will have portrayed themselves as the ones who stood in the way of doing anything about it.
A little long here in this segment.
A quick timeout.
We'll be back.
We'll be back and continue El Quicko.
I didn't think anything of this last night.
And it's amazing how if you're observant and if you pay attention, things come together.
But I was out at dinner last night.
A friend hadn't seen me in a while and said, your breasts look bigger to me.
And I said, that's just jokes.
Is somebody joking?
And we come in here and we learn about all the estrogen in the food.
And I'm beginning to wonder now, maybe it just wasn't a joke last night.
Myrtle, trying to regain my composure.
No, Dennis at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Great.
Have you with us?
Hi.
Are you rush?
Yes.
Yeah, I wanted to.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I'm doing very well here.
I wanted to straighten out the record that I'm actually a chicken producer.
We do a specialty poultry.
We're actually based at Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
And there is absolutely no growth stimulants or growth hormones in the poultry or pork industry.
Now, I'm not an expert in the beef industry.
I know that they use some also with the milk or eggs.
I'm not an expert on that.
But I really do not believe that there's anything to a significant level that would change any behavior.
And I'm 100% certain.
I can understand you.
No, no, I totally understand you wanting to defend the reputation of your industry and of your birds.
But I don't think the woman from O'Calla said anything about chickens.
She was talking about beef and so forth.
I understand the defensiveness that you feel on this.
I mean, you're driving around, you listen to the radio program, and all of a sudden you think your product is being blamed for crying among nine and ten-year-old boys.
I mean, that's got to be a shock, I know.
It is really not the case.
There is zero growth stimulants or growth hormones in the poultry industry, nor is there any in the pork industry.
You know, so I mean, people, you know, are going to try to come up with explanations for all of that stuff.
But, you know.
Tell me this.
I've got a limited amount of time here.
I think PR-wise, your big problem is going to be bird flu.
Tell us the truth about that.
Well, I don't think it's going to be a big problem in the U.S. because most of the birds are actually raised indoors.
The bird flu in Asia and in Europe is actually spread so fast because a lot of birds are raised outside.
You have to think that avian flu spreads with migratory birds mostly.
So, you know, migratory birds go from flock to flock and then spread out the disease like that.
In the U.S., because of the birds being indoors, I don't think it's going to spread.
We will have some at some point, but I think we'll be able to control it.
I appreciate your answer on that, Dennis.
Thanks so much, and have a wonderful weekend.
A quick timeout.
We'll be back and wrap things up here in just a second.
This program gets the answers.
Well, less than a minute, but I want to get to Vince in Cleveland who's been waiting a long time.
Vince, hi.
Hi, Rush.
My point was that Reddick from Duke, the number two scorer in the nation, in fact, the number one scorer was the boy that played for Gonzaga and broke down and cried.
Reddick cried too, but he walked off the court like a man.
You know, there are some situations where I would be as a coach, I'd be upset if my player didn't cry and showed his passion.
I would draft Reddick if I was an NBA team.
One of the reasons that the NBA has lost popularity is all this kissing and hugging going on at the end of the game.
And like they don't care who wins and loses.
I'm the guy that called and I'm in the military and myself and my top sergeant, we were crying like little kids when we lost a couple guys.
Well, that's now wait a minute.
That's a different.
I totally understand that.
I'm out of time.
Folks, have a great weekend.
I can't wait for Mondays.
You know, we get to get back and get together.
See you then.
Adios.
Cheerios.
