Time Text
Well, here we go again.
Drive by media out there panting like a bunch of rabid dogs.
Porter Goss has resigned as the director of the CIA.
Nobody knows why, but they're gonna go wall-to-wall coverage on this.
Patrick Kennedy scheduled for a press conference at three o'clock, right after this program.
It's Friday.
Let's roll.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
I'm sad to see Porter Gross retire.
He was cleaning house up there.
They're over there.
Or down there, wherever the CIA is.
Speculation is rampant.
I'm not going to join it because I don't have.
I don't have the slightest clue.
Let's have to wait to see if the umwers are forthcoming.
Greeting, my friends.
Open line Friday.
If you want to be on a program 800-282-2882, when we go to the phones, the show is all yours.
You don't have to address things that we've been discussing during the course of the busy broadcast, and you do not need to make sure that what you're talking about is in fact uh interesting to me.
All right, productivity and wages uh showed gains uh last quarter.
This is we had a story yesterday, but I want to I want to redouble this uh for you.
American workers were more productive in the first three months of this year than in the preceding quarter.
Bucking a recent trend, the report showed that workers' hourly compensation increased at an annual pace of 5.7% in the first quarter.
Adjusted for inflation, compensation rose 3.6%.
That means above the inflation rate.
In the last three months of 2005, compensation fell three-tenths of a percent after inflation.
Uh productivity, a ratio of output to hours worked, increased 3.2% as output surged 5.8%, and hours worked rose two and a half percent.
Economists were stunned.
Uh the results uh better uh than expected.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, I uh thought by you here uh the what spawned this thought is that uh we had a caller and we not a caller, we've had several callers like this over the course of uh the recent past.
Uh people uh concerned about uh immigration from the standpoint and we don't have enough replacement workers when the baby boom generation begins to retire because U.S. birth rate's down, and their their fear is what's gonna happen to my social security and Medicare if there are fewer workers paying in, and so we need we these calls for a limit on legal immigration are a little frightening to people.
And as I should point out to you that George Allen and John Cornan, a couple of uh senators, one from Virginia, one from Texas, have uh proposed increasing the allowance to 115,000 illegal immigrants who qualify as highly educated, skilled uh in the in the technical and medical fields.
Right now there's a 65,000 per year limit on that.
They want to essentially double it uh to a hundred and fifteen uh thousand.
We'll see how that bill tracks as it uh as it moves forward.
But all of this got me to think about investments.
I mean we we hear that the savings rate in this country is pathetically poor and all, and I just disagree with that.
We have more people in 401ks, people are in pension plans.
I think the investor class is an increasing number of people, and look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
We're gonna check, see what it is now, but it's over uh uh 115 or it was.
Yep, still is 11549, it's up 110 points.
Uh as we uh sit here today.
The record is uh a little over 11,700.
And of course, for those of you worried about social security reform and Medicare reform, I would like to remind you the president tried to do this.
He might have missold it on the basis of uh uh uh investments rather than security.
And the way you sell things is crucial.
Uh the reason people like Social Security is because that one word security that's in it.
And if the president had sold this on a security basis, he might have gotten farther with it.
But still he tried.
And and there were there were a number of efforts to explain to people what he was trying to do.
Warn people that of the problem they fear it's out there, and it's gonna Become reality someday unless we uh don't change the system and allow people some control over their social security accounts, quote unquote.
No, can't do that.
Democrats opposed it.
Democrats said investments go sour, can't trust investments, investments are rotten.
Uh it's just going to make these Wall Street guys wealthy, and that's all it's going to do when most of the Wall Street guys are Democrats anyway, Goldman Sachs and a number of these other places.
It got me to thinking about investments because the Democrats end up talking about investments all over the place.
And how good are they at it?
I mean, they invest in things so as to increase their fundraising, do they not?
They do.
Look at some of the things that they bet the farm on in terms of investment.
They bet the farm on a bad economy.
They ran around and they talked about, and they still are.
They're talking about how rotten the economy is, how most people are being left out of it and not participating in it.
It's only Bush's real millionaire buddies and oil oil cronies that are benefiting.
But in fact, the real problem for Democrats is the economy's doing so well, they are running out of victims, hence their eagerness to allow illegal immigration to come into the country and uh the felon vote and so forth.
Uh and then they they bet the farm on delay.
Culture of corruption.
They were out there raising money on the bad economy.
They're out there raising money on the culture of corruption with uh with delay, uh all part of the uh the culture corruption.
And then this sad story with Patrick Kennedy comes along and and uh further gives them problems, then you have the problem of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, and this guy from West Virginia Mulligan, the uh ranking Democrat on the Ethics Committee, uh they had to they had to get him off of that committee because of his problems uh with corruption.
And I'm sure you could think of uh of other examples of Democrats invested in uh Bush's National Guard story, they invested in uh no weapons and masters to have invested in a number of things for fundraising purposes, and it and they just they bomb out every time the things they hope and expect and want to happen don't.
And so I'm just wondering, are these the people that you want making judgments for you?
Certainly aren't for me, particularly when it comes to national security.
Uh sometimes you recommend books on this program, and I want to I want to recommend a book to you.
Uh it is a book written about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
It is by Henry Mark Holzer.
It's called The Keeper of the Flame.
And this book uh Analyzes and quotes more than 300 opinions written by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Now, according to Thomas Sowell, unlike most of his fellow justices, Clarence Thomas writes in a very direct and straightforward way that cuts through the fog of rhetoric to the heart of the issues involved.
One of the themes that runs through these many opinions on a wide variety of issues is that it's not a judge's job to make social policy, and that much harm can result when they try.
This harm extends far beyond the particular people involved in the cases that come into the court.
The consequences of the errors and uncertainties generated by judicial activists, evolutionists reverberate throughout the entire society for years and maybe even generations to come.
In one of his dissenting opinions, Justice Thomas declared that the Supreme Court was making policy-ladgments that we are ill-equipped and arguably unauthorized to make, and that this represented functioning more as legislators than as judges.
He added the outcome of constitutional cases ought to rest on firmer ground than the personal preferences of judges.
So I'm sure many of you people have uh Levin's book.
And I would suggest that if you're interested in this court business, and you'd actually like to read quotes, excerpts, and analysis of the opinions of Justice Thomas, uh then get the book, The Keeper of the Flame.
That's the title.
It's by Henry Mark Holzer.
Quick time out.
We'll be back.
We'll continue in mere moments.
Stay with us.
Everyone's a winner.
Hot chocolate.
EAB Network, Open Line Friday, and Rush Limbaugh.
Here's Lawrence, Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey, Crawford taking ditto to your rush.
Thank you.
Hey.
Listen, I want to talk about domestic oil production and the environment from a perspective that unfortunately most of the rest of the country doesn't have because they they haven't seen it all their lives.
Live in Southwest Louisiana.
And uh my dad uh worked for oil companies, but um, you know, my my mother was we're very uh environmentally minded family.
Mother was uh secretary of the Louisiana Ornithological Society, Dad read Thoreau.
And we grew up around around oil, and and uh I grew up in a place that is as as biologically diverse as any place in the United States except the Everglades.
I know you know I know where you're going with this.
I know what you're gonna say because I remember when Texaco and Shell and all these big oil bad guys ran commercials.
Right.
And they they'd run commercials about how their oil rigs and operations peacefully coexist with alligators, hoodows, poll cats, uh tagger, whatever was in the uh the area where the operation was.
They had these commercials showing how their presence actually helped uh the uh uh animal diversity and the wildlife and so forth in the and I remember them focusing on Louisiana in a number of those commercials.
Well, I'm there needs to be more of that, only not in commercials.
I mean, it should be put in documentaries.
Um dream on.
Dream on.
It's not gonna happen unless you do the documentary.
Well, I'm you know, there are there are news organizations that um you know, like Fox, for instance.
I I just don't understand how you know they're uh uh oil extraction and exploration hasn't caused the extinction of any species that I know of.
The first peregrine falcon I ever saw, I was parked on um a shell road in the middle of the marsh.
That shell road was there to accommodate traffic to a drilling platform in the marsh.
We're talking about truly uh delicate and hugely biodiverse uh ecosystems down here.
And yes, some damage has been done because it's been drilled since the 1930s when regulation was uh was poor and the regulation was over was was done by sometimes less unscrupulous uh local uh politicians.
But um the notion that drilling an anwar or anywhere else in the United States or offshore of the United States is going to lead to some mass die-off of uh of some endangered species as poppycock.
I know it's poppycock.
And they know it too.
That these are again we're dealing here with a bunch of anti-capitalists.
You can't, you know, they're they worry about oil spills, and they worry about really having more oil is the problem.
They don't want us to have more oil, and to get people scared about having more oil, they talk about the spills, the pollution, the dead caribou, the caribou population skyrocketed because it uh it warmed things up up there, the Alaska pipeline in the winter time, and the caribou went nuts.
Had a grand old time up there, crow uh procreating.
Uh for those of you in Rio Linda, um, they got it on.
And it was just it it everything they say about all these these horror stories can can have uh can the lie can be put to it.
It's it's it's just amazing.
And they they scare us with pollution and global warming and uh and uh and and all of these things.
You all you have to do is note that they don't care when Castro starts drilling for oil, and don't care when Mexico starts drilling for oil, they don't care when the Chicoms do it.
They don't care when any other country starts drilling for oil.
They get on the Brits a little bit, but that makes sense because the Brits um are uh our Western civilization uh uh oriented country.
They don't get on the Russians, they don't get on look at it it was Saddam who said oil wells on file and we're fire.
We're still getting sympathetic stories in the New York Times about him, Saddam Hussein.
Misunderstood.
Yet our invasion of Iraq, they even tried to say that that would lead to massive oil well fires that Saddam had settlement if it was gonna pollute the world and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Everybody knows it's poppy cotton.
You people in the oil business are in the same position that the timber business was in when the spotted owl came up.
They didn't know what to do either.
The spotted owl was was uh was a was a uh convenient excuse for mad cap environmentalist wackos like Earth First to stop timber production.
Uh and it was it it it they're just folks uh they tell you who they are.
We've been over this uh countless times.
They're just a bunch of uh anti-capitalists wandering aimlessly through the night since the Soviet Union gave them a magnet and they're no longer there.
They're coalescing with each other, trying to matter, trying to be something important.
Listen to this.
This is a um this is a story from the UK Guardian.
Secrecy breach by U.S. officials steals thunder of climate change report.
Draft findings posted on internet months early.
Action on global warming undermined expert sphere.
Let me give you the highlights of this.
Confidential draft of a high-level international report on the state of climate change has been posted on the Internet by U.S. officials months before it was due to be made public.
The move to effectively publish the findings of the influential intergovernment panel on climate change of the IPCC has surprised experts who say it could undermine the final report when it's released in February.
The IPC's fourth report draws together research over the last five years to predict the likely course of global warming.
The draft was sent to governments for comment last month.
One British climate scientist, senior author of the IPCC report, who did not want to identify, said they definitely shouldn't have done that.
I'm very surprised.
If you put a draft document in the public domain, then people will start quoting it.
Others say that the move could be a deliberate attempt to reduce the impact of the final report.
The Bush administration has been critical of the IPCC and its conclusions, which form the basis for international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the Kyoto Protocol.
The new report will underpin negotiations to extend the protocol beyond 2012.
In fact, let me tell you why I think this was done.
I think it was probably pretty smart.
I think this leak, the posting of the draft report, will allow real scientists and not a bunch of environmental agenda drivers and wackos to look at the fudged data and the adjusted climate prediction programs in order to debunk the report before it can be announced with great fanfare that we're all doomed because George Bush was born because the U.S. refuses to sign Kyoto and all those damned SUVs.
There's no question in my mind, this thing is leaked, or this this draft report's put up there to let real scientists have at it to see where these people are headed, and they're upset about it at the IPCC because the lid's blown.
Their cover is blown.
They're going to come out with this thing blaming us again for not participating in Kyoto and for the SUVs and George Bush being in the Andrew Nanderth or even being born.
And this is going to allow real scientists to get an advanced peak of where these people are headed with their report rather than having the opportunity to flood the zone with it without any analysis prior to its coming out.
Other environmental news.
Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld fame put his Toyota Prius where his mouth is, giving away the car in a contest aimed at increasing awareness of global warming.
David, Larry David, his wife Lori, an environmental activist, surprised a class Wednesday at the UCLA to award the car to Eric Tarula, a medical student at UCLA.
The couple also served as guest lecturers.
Tarula is from Azusa, California, was among those who registered for the year-long virtual march to stop global warming.
An online petition organized by Stop Global Warming.
You're going to stop a virtual march.
That means just put your name on an internet petition.
But see, the point here is not to solve a problem, global warming or whatever.
It's to make yourself feel good.
I helped.
I did something meaningful.
I participated.
I went to the virtual march to stop global warming.
Oh, yeah, where was it?
It was on the internet.
How do you march on the internet?
You don't march on the internet, silly.
You put your name and you show your support for stopping global warming because you love the earth.
The group was founded by Laurie David to spur politicians to act on the issue.
Tarula jumped up all excited when Larry David announced his name.
The actor writer remained true to his cantankerous curb your enthusiasm character in reacting to the giveaway, an idea his wife said she came up with spontaneously without consulting him.
Well, why who's who would who would not believe that?
Wife comes up at an idea to give away husband's car.
Doesn't tell him about it.
You know, why don't they give away a new one and thereby increase the number of of these hybrids on the road rather than give away a used one?
Give away a used typical liberal.
Give away junk, and they're gonna go out and they'll buy a new one for themselves.
Your guiding lights with times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, strange car accidents, trouble, tumult, torture, humiliation, CIA resignations, and even the good times.
Here on the EIB network.
This is the this is so pathetic, it's funny.
It's so pathetic and funny and predictable.
You just have to laugh, folks.
It's all you can do.
It's called the media to the defense.
Here is a Reuters story just posted a half hour ago.
Kennedy Case puts Ambien again under the spotlight.
U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy in a statement that he used the sleep drug Ambien to explain how he might have been involved in a late-night uh car crash has led to renewed attention on the drugs, possible side effects.
The uh Rhode Island Democrat had also been taken, uh also taken the prescription nausea drug Fennergan before crashing his car into a security barrier in Washington early Thursday morning.
Nobody was hurt, but the incident has intensified questioning about whether the drug ambient causes side effects like sleepwalking and binge eating and how prevalent they are.
Michael Satea, chief of sleep medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, said there's a there's white hot attention on this particular agent.
We need to be cautious about jumping to conclusions.
We have no systematic data yet.
The manufacturers of Ambien, used by millions of people since its introduction in 1993, has lulled patients to sleep for 12 billion nights.
I just want to ask you a uh a question.
Uh if Carl Rove were involved in the exact same circumstances, and if Carl Rov said, yeah, you know, Ambient, I was taking Ambient and I did it, but the Patrick Kennedy excuse.
Do you think that we would have had sympathetic stories on CNN?
They had a four-minute story on this to this morning on how, oh, yeah, people uh take this drug and they they eat and they wake up to find food and all over in the bed, and a they take this drug and then they they they they wake up finding they've driven into a tree.
Uh it's just you people in the in the in the drive-by media are pathetic.
There's just no other way to say that, just pathetic.
Ambient is under the spotlight now.
Uh now it would be one thing if everybody who had an experience with any kind of a drug was the recipient of the story.
This maybe the drug's the problem.
But that doesn't happen.
But it has here with uh with with Patrick Kennedy.
All right, Marie in Terre Hot, Indiana, you're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, I'm a longtime listener.
It's an honor to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I've been listening to a bunch of talk about this whole immigration thing, and I want your opinion on something, because I'm not as interested in other opinions as I am in yours.
Thank you.
Um let's fast forward.
Pretend the border is shut, pinned up.
Nobody's coming across except for a few.
Now what do you think we should do with the illegals that are here, the ones that haven't, you know, gotten into horrible crime.
They they obviously broken the law by coming here, but that's that's it.
That's the extent of it.
What do you think we should do it then?
And especially those that have American citizen children here.
That's the big question I have in my circle of friends.
Okay.
All right.
Um Marie, I have to tell you I love you.
I'm so happy you call, but I can't I can't I got little tiny red flags uh going up that you might be a seminar caller.
Uh what caller?
Uh seminar caller.
A seminar caller.
Seminar caller.
Yeah, a liberal who has gone to a seminar to learn how to call personality.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let me let's tell you definitely how to do that.
Praise the host when you start and then basically.
No, rush rush rush.
Really, I'm not.
I am so not.
I have never voted for a liberal in my life.
I am so republican.
No, seriously.
Have mercy.
I really am not.
I really am a Republican.
Seminar callers say that.
See, you said that.
So how do I prove I'm not a seminar caller?
Well, you can't, and I'm not accusing you.
I'm just saying red flags are up.
But uh let me answer the question, because that's the point.
Yeah, that's the point.
And I am so not a reasonable.
See, uh and uh the reason I also the little red flags up, because this is a pretty neat trick.
You know, you are very if you are, if if if you are a seminar caller, you are very clever.
I'm so I'm just a mom.
That's what they say too.
You know I I've I've never been a liberal.
I am so not liberal.
Okay, okay, okay.
That time out every everything's cool.
Everything's cool back off.
That's about the worst thing you could call me.
No, no, no, I'm telling you, when you uh when you when you finish this, uh you're gonna you're gonna it's one of the most pleasurable experiences you've ever had.
You're gonna you're gonna want to do it more and more and more.
Well, back to my question.
I'm gonna I'm gonna answer the question.
I just saw something on television, and I've you know Snerdley and I have been discussing uh and I'm not I'm not avoiding you here, but I've got to say this before I forget it.
Snurley and I have been discussing this Porter Goss thing, and they just flashed a picture of Negro Ponte up there.
And we've been speculating that there might be some sort of a power play going on, Negro Ponte, not big fan th I'll talk about more of this probably next week later.
But here's the answer question.
See, you you got you put things out of order.
You put things 180 degrees out of phase.
You've created the border should be shut first.
I think it should be.
Yes, I do.
But that's but nobody we can't we can't come to an agreement on that.
I'm telling you that that needs to be the first thing that is discussed.
But that's what pretend it is.
Well, you put it out there is well, nobody th that's a simple answer.
Nobody's talking about deporting these people.
Well, I know nobody is talking about it, but yeah, actually they are, because I hear people all the time say we need to get rid of them.
No, I know people are told when I say nobody's talking about it, I'm talking about nobody that is in a position to actually do it.
I I think it would be possible if we allotted enough uh money and and years to it, but that's it's it's impractical.
That that but it's gotta stop here.
We can't continue to address this every 20 years, okay.
We'll legalize the ones that are here illegally and not do anything about the border, because twenty years from now we're gonna have fifteen or twenty more million we got to deal with.
Well, that's why the border needs to be shut.
But seriously, without sounding I agree totally, and that's i if if anybody in Washington, any candidate for any office would come out and actually propose seriously doing something about the border, then he would have a lot more credibility when he announced what his intentions were for doing or with doing the people uh doing with people here are who are here illegally.
I heard your brother speaking the other day, and I was impressed with what he said, and I was just wondering, you know, Well, why didn't you why didn't you call him then?
I don't have his number.
Well, frankly, I'm more interested in what you have to say.
No slam on your brother.
Well, what did he say?
He was just I I was struck with how compassionate he was.
Okay, yes, he wants the border shut.
As do everybody I know.
But um he he was more of the opinion I thought it sounded to me like assimilating those that are here, unless of course they're criminals, get rid of them.
Who wants criminals?
We have plenty of those on our own.
Obviously, that's the whole point.
The problem we're not even talking about uh uh immigration here.
We're talking about people that want jobs.
There has to be a serious attempt with these twelve if if it just using your hypothetical.
We've got the border shut and and the the number of illegals that that succeed in getting past it is a trickle and not enough to worry about.
Okay, so what do we do with these twelve we've have to assimilate them.
We have to require them to acculturate.
And and that's not hard to do.
And we identify who they are and we let them stay and and if and if they claim they're here because they want to become Americans, we give them the chance to do that, but we don't put them at the head of the line.
We don't run them ahead of people playing by the rules.
But the key to it is closing the border.
It's going to be much easier to come up with a policy to deal with the 12 to 20 whatever are here now who are illegal if that's it.
Yeah.
But if it's another 12 to 20 in in 15 years then we're not solving the problem and that's what people instinctively know and that's what frustrates them.
Okay.
Well I appreciate your time and please don't think I'm a liberal okay I I've I've I I just had to be honest with you.
I just had to show you you were exhibiting some traits but uh I I think you have uh proven here that that you're not a seminar caller.
Well I thank you I can live a happy life now.
Have a good one.
Thanks Marie you too this is Alex in Jacksonville.
Welcome to the program sir.
Hey Rush how are you Mega Megaditos from Jacksonville, Florida.
Thank you very much, sir.
Hey listen uh I was one of the I'm sure one of the thousands of people that uh as soon as you mentioned hot dogs from Allen Brothers uh I've got three kids under six in the house and I'm we're cooking number four actually so we eat a lot of hot dogs.
So I was just I I ordered some immediately and uh we we absolutely love them.
Can I I tell us tell my wife I cannot believe just how good they were and stuff proving again how right you are about everything.
I have to tell you go ahead what were you going to say?
But um we just uh I was just curious as to you know uh I I know I know we had to hit their their site like unbelievably and I was just curious how that uh went about since you alluded to it last Friday about what we had done and how we stimulated the economy and rush well rushing um let me just let me just tell you that the the you you won't believe this.
Let me tell you the story.
In fact I'm gonna go long with let me let me take a break here and keep your radio on out there Alex because they are officially starting as a sponsor on the 15th of May Allen Brothers you said thousands of people try hundreds of thousands access the website and a phone number and bought Allen brothers hot dogs.
The hot dogs are just the, pardon the phrase here, tip of the iceberg in terms of what they have.
And it's all indescribably delicious.
But I'll tell you the hot dog story.
But there were, I mean, try hundreds of thousands.
And so much so it shut down their website for a week.
They would have started as advertisers sooner, but they had to build up their server farm and their website capability to handle the load and the phones and so forth.
That's why they're starting on...
May the 15th.
But I'll tell you the whole story here we come back.
Stay with us my friends.
And we're back on Open Line Friday Rush Limbaugh the EIB network.
May as well take the opportunity of this phone call, the occasion is phone call to um oh folks before I just had a friend send me uh uh a link to a website called uh what is it uh drunkbastard.net there's a bunch of drunks have a website and uh the website features many cures for hangovers and one of the cures for hangovers is finergan or finergan however you pronounce it one of the drugs Patrick Kennedy claimed
to be taking for gastroenteritis it turns out to be a drug that replenishes fluids and helps you sleep off your hangover according to the people at drunkbastards.net sternly is researching it even now it's a lot there's a lot of information there's an ad right at the top of this thing for some now don't if you're yeah it's not this is not a site for kids eighteen or younger I have to tell you that you do not but it's it it's got all kinds of advice here on how to deal with hangovers and if you if you read deep enough into the site you'll find um
Finnergin's site under Finnergan however you pronounce it as one of the um one of the ways you can replenish precious body fuel fluids that have been lost and help sleep off your uh hangover.
Now uh Allen brothers it was Super Bowl Sunday and I had a bunch of people over to watch the game and I uh set up a sports bar menu and I had I had received a a care package from Allen Brothers uh the week before because they were uh contemplating sponsoring this program and wanted me to taste the goods.
So I said, we got some, I told the chef says we have some hot dogs in those guys, right?
Yeah, I said, go, you know, grill up a bunch of them.
We might as well try them.
So we put them out along with the nachos and the chicken fingers and uh popcorn and uh all the others, egg rolls and stuff.
And people started eating the hot dogs and where did you get these?
And I said, Well, they're from a potential new sponsor, Alan Brothers.
They said they were raving about these hot dogs like I hadn't heard people rave about food.
I mean, food's food.
So I tasted one, and lo and behold, I knew what they were talking about.
I had the they sent me the jumbo.
They have regular size and jumbo hot dogs.
So I mentioned this in the radio, and they were inundated.
Their website was shut down, phones were shut down.
They do sell by internet, they sell it's ABstakes.com.
Uh and uh so they're becoming official sponsors on the 15th.
I did it again, the last round of the Masters.
I had about 30 people over on Sunday, the last round of the Masters, put sports bar menu out there, put some more hot dogs out there.
Some people that had not been for the Super Bowl came up with the same thing happened.
I even had one of my buddies come up.
You know, I have to tell you something.
The the these hot dogs go great with this wine you're serving.
Like I I can't believe.
Wow, took me aback.
So I tried it and he was right.
I tell you, uh I have since had, you know, I've had people over for doing the 24 party served fillet uh mignon from uh Allen Brothers.
And this I mean, when you go to people's houses for dinner, uh uh I don't know, it doesn't happen too often that people rave about the food.
A couple people might say, Well, this is really good, but I've uh the number of people that wanted to know where do you get this?
I've never been able to find any, I've never seen a hot dog like this.
They have rib roasts, uh prime rib, rolled tender loin, they've got everything.
That the catalog will blow your mind.
Cheese, seafood, even uh even some chicken.
It's it revealed it just and they've got bone-in strips, they've got uh I I to describe this.
Here's what I have learned since meeting this guys.
They uh they're they're in they're in Chicago and they they provide the uh steaks for quite a few of the nation's most prominent steakhouses and restaurants.
And like if you're in if you're in Miami, they and and if you've been to the Forge, and I have, and it's delicious, they provide the beef for uh Sharif Malnik down at the Forge and a number of other places.
And they get you the reason you can't get this at a grocery store, and that's one of the great things you're on the inside when you order from these, but you cannot get this stuff at a grocery store because they get the 2.7% of all beef that is actually grade A prime.
Uh and so it's it's it's rare and it's unique, and uh it's aged.
The one of the things that helps it all taste different than anything you'll buy anywhere else is the length of time they age it.
They ship it to you in dry ice frozen, and it's uh it's indescribably delicious.
Everything I've had from Alan Brothers is.
What else?
Um other thing I was gonna tell you about them, but I can't I can't remember what uh uh what it is.
But I probably have uh have told you enough.
I mean, I just got a oh, oh, they've got their own version of Kobe.
They can't call it Kobe because Kobe comes from a specific reason, region in Japan, but they wag you uh hamburgers, wagyu hamburgers and and uh steaks and so forth, uh which you can cut with a fork uh if you've had Kobe beef and it's just it's extremely tender and so forth, and they have their uh uh their own version of that, and they're great people too.
Anyway, it must must uh must take a brief time out.
We'll be back and wrap it up here in just a sec.
CNN is saying that the purpose of Patrick Kennedy's press conference is to announce that he's entering uh rehab.
Um I just want to say that that's good, and I'm not surprised.
I'm not surprised by it at all.
And uh, in fact, I was hoping earlier that that's what this would be.
One of the things I didn't get a chance to get to today, folks, uh a bunch of people that were in Great Britain.
It'll happen here soon.
Not only are mobile phones bad, they're dangerous, and they cause brain cancer.
Now they are as addictive as smoking.
Mobile phones are as addictive as smoking.
Probably as addictive as EIB, an airborne phenomenon spread by casual contact.
Well, to prove to you I have rehabbed, I don't even use a cell phone.
Ah ha ha!
See you next week from Los Angeles, ladies and gentlemen, heading out there after the program today.
And uh see you Monday.
