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 3 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 Goss retire.
He was cleaning house up there.
They're over there.
They're down there wherever the CIA is.
Speculation is rampant.
I'm not going to join it because I don't have the slightest clue.
Let's have to wait to see if the answers 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, interesting to me.
All right, productivity and wages showed gains last quarter.
We had a story yesterday, but I want to redouble this 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.
Productivity, a ratio of output to hours worked, increased 3.2% as output surged 5.8% and hours worked rose 2.5%.
Economists were stunned.
The results better than expected.
Ladies and gentlemen, one thought by you here.
What spawned this thought is that we had a caller, not a caller, we've had several callers like this over the course of the recent past.
People concerned about immigration from the standpoint that we don't have enough replacement workers when the baby boom generation begins to retire because U.S. birth rates down and their fear is what's going to happen to my Social Security and Medicare if there are fewer workers paying in.
So we need, 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 Cornyn, a couple of senators, one from Virginia, one from Texas, have proposed increasing the allowance to 115,000 illegal immigrants who qualify as highly educated, skilled in the technical and medical fields.
Right now, there's a 65,000 per year limit on that.
They want to essentially double it to 115,000.
We'll see how that bill tracks as it moves forward.
But all of this got me to think about investments.
We hear that the savings rate in this country is pathetically poor.
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.
I'm going to check, see what it is now, but it's over 11.5, or it was.
Yep, still is 11.5.49.
It's up 110 points as we sit here today.
The record is 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 investments rather than security.
The way you sell things is crucial.
The reason people like Social Security is because of 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 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 going to become reality someday unless we don't change the system and allow people some control over their Social Security accounts, quote unquote.
No, I can't do that.
Democrats opposed it.
Democrats said investments go sour.
Can't trust investments.
Investments are rotten.
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 cronies that are benefiting.
But in fact, the real problem for Democrats is the economy is doing so well, they are running out of victims, hence their eagerness to allow illegal immigration to come into the country and the felon vote and so forth.
And then 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 delay, all part of the culture corruption.
And then this sad story with Patrick Kennedy comes along and further gives them the problem.
Then you have the problem with Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, and this guy from West Virginia Mallahan, the ranking Democrat on the Ethics Committee.
They had to get him off of that committee because of his problems with corruption.
And I'm sure you could think of other examples.
The Democrats invested in Bush's National Guard story.
They invested in no weapons and masters.
They've invested in a number of things for fundraising purposes.
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?
They certainly aren't for me, particularly when it comes to national security.
Sometimes you recommend books on this program, and I want to recommend a book to you.
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 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-laden judgments 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 Levin's book.
And I would suggest that if you're interested in this court business, you'd actually like to read quotes, excerpts, and analysis of the opinions of Justice Thomas, then get the book, The Keeper of the Flame.
That's the title.
It's by Henry Mark Holzer.
Quick timeout.
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, Crawfish Eating.
Dittos 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 can't have because they haven't seen it all their lives.
I live in southwest Louisiana, and my dad worked for oil companies, but my mother was, we're very environmentally minded family.
Mother was secretary of the Louisiana Ornithological Society.
Dad read Thoreau.
And we grew up around oil.
And I grew up in a place that is as biologically diverse as any place in the United States except the Everglades.
I know where you're going with this.
I know what you're going to say because I remember when Texaco and Shell and all these big oil bed guys ran commercials.
And they'd run commercials about how their oil wigs and operations peacefully coexist with alligators, hoodows, polecats, tiger, whatever was in the area where the operation was.
They had these commercials showing how their presence actually helped the animal diversity and the wildlife and so forth.
And I remember them focusing on Louisiana in a number of those commercials.
Well, there needs to be more of that, only not in commercials.
I mean, it should be put in documentaries.
Well, dream on.
Dream on.
It's not going to happen unless you do the documentary.
Well, there are news organizations that, you know, like Fox, for instance, I just don't understand how oil extraction and exploration hasn't caused the extinction of any species that I know of.
The first peregrine falcon I ever saw was parked on 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 delicate and hugely biodiverse ecosystems down here.
And yet some damage has been done because it's been drilled since the 1930s when regulation was poor and the regulation was done by sometimes less than scrupulous local politicians.
But the notion that drilling in Anwar or anywhere else in the United States or offshore of the United States is going to lead to some mass die-off of some endangered species as poppycock.
I know it's poppycock.
And they know it too.
And we're dealing here with a bunch of anti-capitalists.
You can't, you know, 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 warmed things up up there, the Alaska pipeline in the wintertime, and the caribou went nuts.
Had a grand old time up there procreating.
For those of you in Riolinda, they got it on.
And it was just, everything they say about all these horror stories can have the lie can be put to it.
It's just amazing.
They scare us with pollution and global warming and all of these things.
All you have to do is note that they don't care when Castro starts drilling for oil.
They 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 are Western civilization-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 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 said them is going to pollute the world and blah, Everybody knows it's popping out.
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 a convenient excuse for madcap environmentalist wackos like Earth First to stop timber production.
And it was, they're just, folks, they tell you who they are.
We've been over this countless times.
They're just a bunch of 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 story from the UK Guardian.
Secrecy breach by U.S. officials steele's thunder of climate change report.
Draft findings posted on internet months early.
Action on global warming undermined experts' fear.
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, or 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 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 Nanderthoro even being born.
And this is going to allow real scientists to get an advanced peek 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 Laurie, an environmental activist, surprised a class Wednesday at the UCLA to award the car to Eric Tarulla, a medical student at UCLA.
The couple also served as guest lecturers.
Tarulla 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.
This isn't really going to help.
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 of 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 Lori David to spur politicians to act on the issue.
Tarulla 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.
Who would not believe that?
Wife comes up at the 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 these hybrids on the road rather than give away a used one?
Give away a used typical liberal.
Give away junk and they're going to go out and they'll buy a new one for themselves.
Your guiding light to 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 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 car crash, has led to renewed attention on the drug's possible side effects.
The Rhode Island Democrat had also been taken, also taking 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 Ambien causes side effects like sleepwalking and binge eating and how prevalent they are.
Michael Sataya, chief of sleep medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, said 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.
It says sleepwalking is a rare side effect and it stands by the drug safety.
I just want to ask you a question.
If Carl Rove were involved in the exact same circumstances, and if Carl Rove said, yeah, you know, Ambien, I was taking Ambien 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 take this drug and they eat and they wake up and find food and all over in the bed.
And they take this drug and then they wake up finding they've driven into a tree.
It's just, you people in the drive-by media are pathetic.
There's just no other way to say that.
Just pathetic.
Ambient is under the spotlight now.
Now, it would be one thing if everybody who had an experience with any kind of a drug was the recipient of the story.
They said, maybe the drug's the problem.
But that doesn't happen that it has here with Patrick Kennedy.
All right, Marie in Terre Haute, 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.
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 gotten into horrible crime?
They obviously broken the law by coming here, but that's it.
That's the extent of it.
What do you think we should do And especially those that have American citizen children here.
That's a big question I have in my circle of friends.
Okay.
All right.
Marie, I have to tell you, I love you.
I'm so happy you called, but I can't.
I got little tiny red flags going up that you might be a seminar caller.
A what caller?
A seminar caller.
A seminar caller.
Seminar caller.
Yeah, a liberal who has gone to a seminar to learn how to call political.
No, Let me let me tell you definitely have to call it.
Praise the host when you start, and then basically just to go.
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.
That's part of what seminar callers say.
No, seriously.
Have mercy.
I really am not.
I really am a Republican.
Seminar callers say that.
So how do I prove you are not a seminar caller?
No, you can't.
And I'm not accusing you.
I'm just saying red flags are up.
Let me answer the question because that's the point.
Yeah, that's the point.
And I am so not a Republican.
See, and the reason I also the little red flags are 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.
You know, I've never been a liberal.
I am so not liberal.
Okay, okay, okay.
That timeout, everything's cool.
Everything's cool.
Back off, far.
That's about the worst thing you could call me.
No, no, no, I'm telling you, when you finish this, you're going to, you're going to, it's one of the most pleasurable experiences you've ever had.
You're going to want to do it more and more and more.
Well, back to my question.
I'm going to answer the question.
I just saw something on television, and Snerdley and I have been discussing, and I'm not avoiding you here, but I've got to say this before I forget it.
Snerdley 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.
I'll talk about more of this probably next week later.
But here's the answer question.
See, you put things out of order.
You put things 180 degrees out of phase.
You've created a lot of people.
You don't think the border should be shut first?
I think it should be.
Yes, I do.
But we can't come to an agreement on that.
I'm telling you that that needs to be the first thing that is discussed.
Let's just pretend it is.
What you put it out there is, well, nobody, 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 think it would be possible if we allotted enough money and years to it, but it's impractical.
But it's got to 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 20 years from now we're going to have 15 or 20 more of them we've got to deal with.
Well, that's why the border needs to be shut.
Seriously, without sounding.
I agree totally.
And 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 withdoing the people, doing what people here 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, 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?
I was struck with how compassionate he was.
Okay, yes, he wants the border shut.
As do everybody I know.
But he was more of the opinion I thought.
It sounded to me like assimilating those who 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 immigration here.
We're talking about people that want jobs.
There has to be a serious attempt with these 12.
Just using your hypothetical, we've got the border shut, and the number of illegals that succeed in getting past it is a trickle and not enough to worry about.
Okay, so what do we do with these?
We have to assimilate them.
We have to require them to acculturate.
And that's not hard to do.
And we identify who they are and we let them stay.
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 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 just had to be honest with you.
I just had to show you.
You were exhibiting some traits, but I think you have proven here that you're not a seminar caller.
Oh, 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 Mega Kittos from Jacksonville, Florida?
Thank you very much, sir.
Hey, listen, I was one of the, I'm sure, one of the thousands of people that as soon as you mentioned hot dogs from Allen Brothers, I've got three kids under six in the house, and we're cooking number four, actually, so we eat a lot of hot dogs.
So I was just, I ordered some immediately, and we absolutely love them.
I tell my wife, I cannot believe just how good they were and proving again how right you are about everything.
I have to tell you.
No, go ahead.
What were we going to say?
But we just, I was just curious as to, you know, I know we had to hit their site like unbelievably, and I was just curious how that went about since you alluded to it last Friday about what we had done and how we stimulated the economy as Russia.
Well, let me just tell you that you won't believe this.
Let me tell you the story.
In fact, I'm going to go along with it.
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, accessed 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 a load and the phones and so forth.
That's why they're starting on May the 15th.
But I'll tell you a 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 of this phone call.
Oh, folks, before I just had a friend send me a link to a website called what is it?
drunkbastard.net.
A bunch of drunks have a website.
And the website features many cures for hangovers.
And one of the cures for hangovers is fenergen or fenergan, however you pronounce it.
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.
Sterntley 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.
No, no, don't, if you're, yeah, it's not, this is not a site for kids 18 or younger.
I have to tell you that you do not, but 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 Finnergan site or Finnerjan, however you pronounce it, as one of the ways you can replenish precious body fluids that have been lost and help sleep off your hangover.
Now, Allen Brothers.
It was Super Bowl Sunday, and I had a bunch of people over to watch the game.
And I set up a sports bar menu.
And I had received a care package from Allen Brothers the week before because they were contemplating sponsoring this program and wanted me to taste the goods.
So I said, we got some, I told the chef, I said, we have some hot dogs in those guys, right?
Yeah, I said, go 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 the popcorn and 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, Allen Brothers.
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.
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, but it's absteaks.com.
And so they're becoming official sponsors on the 15th.
I did it again, the last round of the Masters.
I 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, these hot dogs go great with this wine you're serving.
Like, I can't believe it took me aback.
So I tried it, and he was right.
I tell you, I have since had, you know, I've had people over for doing the 24-party served fillet, mignon from Allen Brothers.
And when you go to people's houses for dinner, 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 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, prime rib, rolled tenderloin.
They've got everything.
The catalog will blow your mind.
Cheese, seafood, even some chicken.
It's a reveal.
It just, and they've got bone-in strips.
To describe this, here's what I have learned since meeting these guys.
They're in Chicago and they provide the 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, and if you've been to the Forge, and I have, and it's delicious, they provide the beef for Sharif Malnik down at the Forge and a number of other places.
And they get 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 people.
You cannot get this stuff at a grocery store because they get the 2.7% of all beef that is actually grade A prime.
And so it's rare and it's unique.
And it's aged.
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 indescribably delicious.
Everything I've had from Allen Brothers is.
What else?
There was one other thing I was going to tell you about them, but I can't remember what it is.
I probably have told you enough.
I mean, I just got to, oh, oh, they've got their own version of Kobe.
They can't call it Kobe because Kobe comes from a specific region in Japan, but they wagyu hamburgers, wagyu hamburgers and steaks and so forth, which you can cut with a fork if you've had Kobe beef, and it's extremely tender and so forth.
And they have their own version of that.
And they're great people, too.
Anyway, 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 rehab.
I just want to say that that's good, and I'm not surprised.
I'm not surprised by it at all.
And 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, 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 content.
Well, to prove to you I've rehabbed, I don't even use a cell phone.
Ah, ah, ah.
See you next week from Los Angeles, ladies and gentlemen, heading out there after the program today.
And see you Monday.
Adios.
