It's uh the EIB network, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations every day.
It's also Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
I love open line Friday because you never know what you're gonna get.
And we don't put very many restrictions on it at all.
Complain, whine, moan if you want to.
Praise, cajole, comment on anything, whether you've heard me discuss it or not.
I do not have to care about it on Friday.
Now on Thursday, Monday through Thursday.
If I don't care about it, we don't take your call.
On Friday, I take one of the greatest career risks known to exist in major media.
Uh basically turning over the content of the program when we go to phones to rank amateurs, lovable but rank amateurs nevertheless.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, and the email address is Rush at EIB net.com.
I have to share this email with you.
This is from a subscriber at Rushlinbaugh.com.
His name is Tom Blum.
He's from Delray Beach.
Dear Rush, I've owned the Fifth Avenue Grill Restaurant in Delray Beach for 18 years, always a prime steakhouse.
I used meat from the stockyards in Chicago for most of that time.
After hearing you talk about Allen Brothers, I called them up and I got some samples.
The Fifth Avenue Grill Restaurant now serves Allen Brothers beef exclusively, thanks to you.
The product is far superior to anything else out there.
Your information's made for a better restaurant, and you've done a service to all of my customers.
And then he asks me to come in for a free meal anytime I want.
I um and I don't accept freebies, because that's obligation.
And I I pay for everything.
But I wrote him back, I thanked him.
This is tremendous, and it's it's um this is one of those ancillaries you never think about happening.
Uh but restaurants hearing about it and picking it up, and there's so many restaurants that use Allen Brothers.
Uh great steakhouses all over the country, and uh the Fifth Avenue Grill Restaurant Delray Beach now added to the list.
It's uh I served Allen Brothers exclusively throughout Thanksgiving, and and uh you got that rush pack up there.
It's a great Christmas present, folks, for people.
It really is.
You'd be you um you can't you can't get this beef in uh in grocery stores.
Nothing against grocery stores.
Uh it's just there's not that much real prime beef.
Uh and uh Allen Brothers been supplying steakhouses for who knows how long, and now they've got this uh retail operation being publicized by me uh via an exclusive business arrangement.
Also, we were talking yesterday about consensus and science, and and there was a story about uh global warming and how some people don't buy it.
It was the story about Jim Inhoff's hearing uh at the Senate about uh, and there was some some pro-global warming uh bird brain talking about how there's all this consensus uh out there on global warming, and I intuitively said you can't have consensus and science at the same time.
It is not possible.
This is not arguable.
It simply isn't possible.
Science is not about consensus.
The sun doesn't go around the moon because let me get it right, instead of trying to be funny.
The earth doesn't go around the sun because a consensus of scientists says so.
The earth orbits around the sun because it does.
There was a time when the world was thought to be flat, and a consensus of scientists said so.
Christopher Columbus said, I'm willing to take the risk it's not.
Uh there can't there cannot be consensus in science.
It's it's it's not possible in any way.
So a friend of mine at the website, uh Rushlinbaugh.com sent me this little quote from Michael Crichton on Consensus.
And it's an excerpt from a speech that he gave.
I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus and the rise of what has been called consensus science.
I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks.
Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels.
It's a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.
Whenever you hear the consensus of science or scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet because you're being had.
Let's be clear.
The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus.
Consensus is the business of politics.
Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world.
In science, consensus is irrelevant.
What is relevant is reproducible results.
The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
There's no such thing as consensus science.
If it's consensus, it isn't science, and if it's science, it isn't consensus.
Period.
Well, I intuitively understood this yesterday before reading such a renowned authority as Michael Creighton.
So let this be a warning to any of you when we do start discussing science on this program, invariably I hit call some scientists saying I should shut up because I know what I'm talking about.
But I intuitively understood this.
Perfect open line Friday story here, ladies and gentlemen.
Bad habits, why we can't stop.
This is from Livescience.com.
And of course, the nanny state and the American left is really oriented toward getting everybody to stop what they consider everybody's bad habits are.
I mean, the latest sophistry is in New York's city, where the mayor is banned trans fats in the city's restaurants.
And there will be fines, and there will be inspectors.
Trans fats, of course, raise the bad cholesterol or lower the good cholesterol or whatever.
How long will it be before the mayor dictates that certain vegetables be sold with every meal in a restaurant?
Um we've had warnings about cigarettes and how they kill, and yet people continue to smoke.
We have had warnings about how fast food will do you in.
People continue to eat it.
We've had warnings that oat bran will constipate you and then it will make you healthy, and people continue to eat it.
All of these warnings, all of these do gooders, all of these nannies, all of these smarter than everybody else people.
Frustrated that you won't listen to them.
Why don't you break your bad habits?
Why don't you lead a clean and pure as the wind driven snow life?
And that's what this story addresses.
It might seem a total wonder that a smoker won't quit after hearing that puffing away is a leading cause of death, or that an obese person can't shed a How long do you think it'll be before scallions are banned?
You know, scallions apparently can kill you a lot quicker than trans fats, Mayor Bloomberg.
Well, at least they can make you sick faster than trans fats can.
Yeah, the taco bell thing.
E. coli.
Not to be confused with Ebola, which is wiping out the uh ape population now.
Jane Goodall, where are you when we need you?
At any rate, distract myself.
Well, actually, I don't distract myself because that's not possible.
I never lose my place.
Or that an obese person can't shed a few pounds after learning that lethal ailments loom for the overweight.
Scientists have come up with a host of reasons why humans stick to bad habits, and they're zeroing in on what to do about it.
Among the reasons, innate human defiance, need for social acceptance, inability to truly understand the nature of risk, individualistic view of the world and the ability to rationalize unhealthy habits, genetic predisposition to addiction.
These are some of the areas being investigated to explain why you idiots will not listen to these experts who are telling you how you ought to live your life.
And they've got to come up with these convoluted psychological theories.
These are scientists.
Genetic predisposition to addiction, need for social exception, acceptance, innate human defiance.
Cindy Jardine of the University of Alberta said, We have found that people aren't changing their behaviors, but it's not because they haven't gotten the information that there are big risks.
We tend to sort of live for now and into the limited future, not the long time.
In a recent study, a group led by Cindy Jardine surveyed 1,200 people in Alberta, Canada in 1994 and again in 2005 about what they perceived to be risky behaviors.
Many of the participants ranked lifestyle behaviors like smoking, drinking, and suntanning as more dangerous than ozone depletion and chemical pollution.
Well, what is what what really is riskier?
Smoking, drinking, or getting behind the wheel of a car.
Now, seriously now.
Strictly looking at actuarial tables.
It's going to take you years and years and years to cause yourself health problems smoking.
You life can be over in five minutes from now, if the stars align the right way when you get behind the wheel of your car.
So despite the fact that we are totally blasted on the evils of our actions day in and day out by the mommies and the nannies in the drive-by media.
Our human nature is stronger, and basically we do whatever the hell we want to do anyway, and I find this comforting.
And I always have.
I have always loved it when people reject conventional wisdom and the snotty, arrogant, condescending look down their nose attitude of your stupid.
It's my life, and if I want to smoke or if I want a drink or if I want to do whatever, screw you.
I'm not going to become part of Logan's run or some colony of robots led by freaks like Michael Bloomberg.
I'm going to find a way around it.
Till they ban this stuff and make it illegal that they were serious they would.
Back in just a second.
I have breathless and panting breaking news, ladies and gentlemen.
The House Ethics Committee plans to release findings on Mark Foley's improper email exchanges with pages in 38 minutes from now.
Drive-bys will be rocked by orgasms, ladies and gentlemen, in 38 minutes from now.
This I I thought this was going to come today.
I'd heard there we I thought they'd throw it out with all the rest of the trash like at five in the afternoon.
Well, I don't know why they're doing it now, but uh it's they're doing a do it on a Friday.
Oh, what do you mean nobody cares?
I'm telling you, there's orgasms will you may see orgasms on MSNBC when this is reported.
Did you see the movie Sleepless in Seattle?
Coffee shop scene?
Keep a sharp eye, MSNBC.
When they break this story and start talking about this stuff, I'm telling you, oh, this is going to push the Iraq surrender group off the front page.
You think nobody cares about it?
This is sex.
This is gay sex, this is sex with a page.
This is why the Republicans lost the house.
Who doesn't care?
The media doesn't care?
You think the media doesn't care about this?
You think it do they have no interest in it now because it served its purpose?
Is that what you're saying?
It's they don't care about?
Well, we'll see.
I think the drive-by's are gonna go nuts.
Brian Ross, of course, who's got a penis fetish on his little blog there at ABC.
Depends on what's in the report.
If there are more emails, if there are more.
Anyway, it's coming up 37 minutes from now, ladies and gentlemen, the release of the investigation.
Um reports are true that uh Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Mark Mesvinsky are considering marriage, the father of DeGroom, Mr. Mizvinsky's father, won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November of 2008.
Ed Mesvinsky, former Iowa Congressman serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian email scams.
Initially, Ms Vinsky became the victim of just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen, said a federal prosecutor.
But then Ms. Vinsky began to steal from clients and even his own mother-in-law to raise the money to try yet another scheme.
After leaving Congress, Ms. Vinsky moved to Philadelphia's mainline suburbs with his wife Marjorie Margolis, A former television reporter who won a seat in Congress herself.
The Mesvinskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton, were frequent uh guests at uh at White House uh dinners.
Uh prosecutors say that uh Ed Mizvinsky uh used his connection to the Clintons and his son's social relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams.
Ms. Vinsky just uh declined requests sent to him in prison to speak with ABC News and also instructed his lawyer not to speak with ABC News.
His wife Marjorie Margoli's Ms. Vinsky declined to comment in the interest of the children.
Um there's an old I don't know if it's a wives' tale, if it's a myth or if it's actually true, but there's a I've heard it all my wife uh life that women tend to marry their fathers.
Uh and this story would certainly give credence uh to that theory.
Ed Mizvinsky in jail, uh running scams, unable to attend his son's wedding, Chelsea Clinton is the bride here.
See, if I were a scientist, I could say consensus indicates, ladies and gentlemen, that it is true.
We can indicate via consensus, because I guess sure we could produce a number of similar incidents where women tend to marry men that remind them of their fathers or tend to marry daddy.
Dave in Manhattan, uh, thanks for waiting.
You're on open line Friday.
Hello.
Megadiddos from conservative only town up here.
Yes.
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean.
Um I wanted to talk about one of the most underreported things, I think, related to this uh Baker commission, as everybody runs around talking about bipartisan is the way that uh Baker apparently stacked the uh working groups underneath him, the experts he put on them to actually do the work.
And there's a great article that was in the Weekly Standard in October 30th by Michael Rubin, who I'm sure you know well.
Uh, yeah well.
Yeah.
That outlines a lot of the people that Baker put on here who were highly critical of the war from the very beginning.
Some people that were on the panels even accusing us of going to war for oil, uh fabricating our reasons for going, uh, etc.
It's a really eye-opening article, and I don't think it's gotten enough publicity.
Um, I have I have here, I'm holding right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
The uh paperback version of the Iraq study group.
I didn't buy it, it just came in the mail today.
And it was in the trash, and I had to have somebody go get it out of the trash uh when I took your call because Iraq Study Group support um and uh United Institute United States Institute for Peace.
That is a huge lib group.
Anytime you see a group that has the word peace in it, they're socialists or communists.
No, you're absolutely right about this.
I just and I just wanted to give you the uh uh in fact, the Institute for Peace has more people in the support staff than any other group.
Um uh there was the Center for Study of the Presidency, uh Center for Strategic and International Studies had one person uh and a couple of three individuals, four individuals here, and then the the Institute for Peace.
Uh now I I knew about this months ago, weeks ago, when I was informed, and like anybody with with uh, you know, any degree of curiosity, I said, Well, yeah, how in the world does the staff get populated with a bunch of politically oriented anti-war types on a commission that is made up of a bipartisan panel, equal number Republicans and Democrats.
And the answer I got, Dave, was that they had no choice.
That certain members of Congress got to appoint staff.
Uh now, I don't know if that's true, but that would be one explanation.
It would be hard for me to understand why Jim Baker would would appoint, you know, a bunch of people who are not bipartisan.
At least that that if that's what they're going to try to sell here at the end of the day.
Uh so, you know, you you're interpreting this as Baker put these people on.
When I asked about it, I was told they had no choice.
And by the way, uh when all these leaks were happening, uh, you know it's always staff that leaks.
It could have been Baker himself.
It could have been, it could have been Hamilton.
I mean, these people have enough stature with the drive-by media that they will usually be protected as sources if they leak to the Washington Post or the uh or the New York Times.
But the leaks turned out to be pretty accurate in terms of what's in the uh the surrender group report itself.
But as to whether or not the staff was actually put there by the chairman, I have heard conflicting reports uh about this, and I don't know what's true.
Uh but it it makes sense if you look at it logically.
It just none of it does.
Stop everything.
I made a mistake and I need to correct it.
It doesn't happen much.
When I correct my mistakes, I do it loud and profound.
I don't wait till the end of the program.
I don't bury it.
I don't wait till the end of the program on Friday when nobody will remember it.
That orgasm scene was not in sleepless in Seattle.
Uh I was wrong about this.
And I don't mind admitting that I'm wrong, ladies and gentlemen, because I don't have to do it much.
I'm in fact I'm I'm proud to admit that I'm wrong because we learn from our mistake.
Well, I'm not allowed to learn anymore.
I make a mistake and it's all over the AP for a week.
But everybody else is allowed to learn from their mistakes and grow from them.
Um the correct movie was uh when Harry met Sally.
But I think Meg Ryan's in both movies, isn't she?
That's that's where I got confused.
John in Brooklyn, Canada.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Oh, hello, Rush.
Hi.
Um first time caller.
Tried many times before.
It's pretty rough to get into to talk with you.
Uh, but uh I'm calling from a conservative stronghold out here.
Uh our writing here elected a uh federally the uh finance minister, so hopefully things will start settling down in our Kakamini uh place.
Health care's still bad.
Don't want to go there.
I've got a mother in law who's in hospital right now, and uh actually the health care's been very good for her.
Well, I'm glad there are exceptions.
Okay.
Rush, um I I just wanted to ask you a question, because uh th this week several times the the topic of Israel came up.
And I and I noticed very quickly you seem to change the topic and and we don't get into a large debate, particularly any criticism of of uh Israel.
It's quite common in most of the uh mainstream.
Wait a minute.
Wait wait, wait a second.
I don't mind debating Israel.
What did you hear to this are you talking about this nutcase loon that caused from Philadelphia?
Well, I I heard the two nut cases, and to me, you know, I was listening casually before I knew it, you were really cutting into them, accusing him of being a liberal and everything.
Well, for crying out loud, they were they they were goofs.
Oh, okay.
I mean, this guy's calling me a Nazi and an anti Semite, and uh and and uh it was it was that that's one of those calls when they come in, okay.
This is for fun.
This is for entertainment.
Oh, okay.
Uh you can't serious debate with that.
I mean, uh f for crying out loud, you know what a Nazi people throw that term Nazi around way too much.
Well, I know, just like they throw the term anti-Semite, because it's possible to be anti-Israel without being anti-Semite.
Uh well, yeah, and I guess a certain publisher thing.
So I take it that you uh think I stifle debate on Israel.
Well, I I see it so much in in uh, you know, the media, particularly U.S. media and the Canadian media, that uh, you know, there's a lot to be learned in terms of how the country came about and why it is what it is today.
Like, for example, you know, I I always get disturbed when I see their borders constantly moving as they continue to next more and more territory.
Yeah.
You know, and I see that that uh, you know, with the U.S. Well, I'm not sure I'm understanding you, though, because I'm you have to correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm assuming from this, and this is why I'm asking, because I don't want to make incorrect assumption, are you anti-Israel?
Uh yeah, not.
You are okay.
Not anti-Semitic, but you're anti-Israel.
Right.
Okay, and you think there's not enough you think anti-Israel opinions get stifled uh in uh much of the Canadian media, the U.S. media, and this program.
Uh I think so.
Well, yeah, the I don't know about don't know about Canada, but I I'll tell you there is so much Jimmy Carter's got a whole book out right that's anti Israel.
J the Iraq Study Group Report is is based on anti Israel.
Israel is the reason there's terrorism.
If you read this book, if you read this surrender group report, oh yeah.
Everything that's going on, terrorism and Bali terrorism uh in Singapore, it's well, I guess it's Israel's fault.
Israel is the one nation that is not being invited to join this uh this uh consensus of nations to uh discuss the problem.
Uh so what why are you anti-Israel?
I'm not trying to stifle debate.
You tell me why you're anti-Israel.
Well, I have a hard time, you know, because there are there is another group of people who live out there, the Palestinians.
And for example, on the West Bank, Israel has put in settlements.
Now today they're building this big wall.
Now they've moved the border to start taking in some of these settlements.
I mean, you don't put settlements in somebody else's country unless you have designs on occupying and eventually driving out the indigents.
Right.
Do you do you do you well the problem is that you're you're gonna have to go back to nineteen forty-eight and blame the UN and dump on Harry Truman?
Yeah, I I know Truman.
All right, so now so well, but that's where this starts.
That's where the root of people who have the opinion you just expressed starts.
No, no, no.
That the Israelis didn't kick anybody off their land.
There was no such place as Palestine.
This is a total myth, and you have fallen for it.
Not really, Rush.
You know something?
What look at there we can I put this in perspective?
You just mentioned it.
You just talked about how how small the country keeps getting.
Larger.
And they keep annexing parts of the country and that uh it gets smaller.
They're down to a nine mile wide country now.
Now, would you explain to me you have the Palestinians and you have Hamas.
Can you tell me why the Jordanians don't want them?
Can you tell me why the Saudis don't want them?
Can you tell me why the Iranians don't want them?
Can you tell me why nobody wants them?
Well, I think most of the people You want me to believe that a little sliver of land, the microscopic size of Israel is responsible for all of the chaos and the unrest and the anger in Arab Middle East.
Now come on, John.
Rush.
You cannot you cannot make the claim that if if that's true, then uh then it's the Arabs who have the problem.
Well, Russia, you have to remember the original basis and the and the dream of of the Zionist movement, which was to reclaim the former Israel.
In eighteen ninety seven, when they formed, you know, the international group that met year in and year out to discuss how to do it, they had a problem in A. There wasn't a large Jewish population there.
Now, well, it wasn't hard to get them to congregate after Hitler murdered six million of them and they were run out of Poland.
Look at when you start throwing around terms like the Zionist movement, you are making it political, uh and you are making it uh uh Semitic to use uh to use your terms.
Uh you have to understand the purpose the Palestinians serve.
The Palestinians are the greatest excuse Middle Eastern countries have to continue to explain to their own populations why they're living in abject poverty while their rulers and leaders live lives of opulence.
You telling me that Saudi Arabia's problems due to the fact that there's an Israel, they have the largest oil reserves known in the world, or second, perhaps.
Uh Iran's problem is Israel.
Iran's problem is Israel, uh Iraq's problem is Israel, Jordan's problem is Israel.
Uh these are the people who claim to care about the Palestinians.
They don't care about the Palestinians.
The Palestinians are a tool and the uh they're a prop, they're a proxy.
Uh no b if you've really cared about the Palestinians, there's all kinds of places they could go.
Nobody wants them.
Nobody wants them.
And they don't want to relocate because the purpose is to eliminate the Jews.
It's not the geography.
It's not that that little plot of land is precious as Palestine.
It is all based on anti-Semitism.
It is all based on hatred of Jews.
It is all based on marching them into the Mediterranean.
And if you don't believe me, listen to such great statesmen as Mahmoud Ahmadineijad, who guaranteed twice a week, will talk about how they are going to plunge into the abyss.
They're going to cease to exist, and so, by the way, will we.
Uh The United States and uh and all of the other infidels.
I think that it is patently absurd for so many square miles of real estate and the people who live on it to blame all their problems on the tiniest little sliver of a country in that region.
Uh and it's it would it would be it would be akin to the United States blaming the population of Rhode Island for all of the bipartisanship or partisanship or hatred or what have you and strife that we have in this country.
It would it would make literally no sense.
At any rate, um, we do not stifle debate uh on Israel here.
We've had this debate, I don't know how many times over the course of the 18 plus years that I have been hosting the program.
Happy to have had it again.
We'll be back.
We'll continue here in just a second.
And welcome back at Rush Limbaugh, an open line Friday.
Talent on loan from God.
Now, as you people know, I have been prescient on many things.
I have, I mean, that's what uh that's what being on the cutting edge of societal evolution is prescience.
And I have been sounding warning bells on a series of things for the 18 plus years that I have been behind the golden EIB microphone.
One of those is feminism, and what its ultimate aims were, how much success it had, and how it's now started to crumble in certain ways, but there are a legacies that remain uh that have caused damage that still survive.
And one of the things I always said about feminism was that the biggest mistake the feminazis made was trying to be like men.
They determined that in order to be powerful and in order to have emancipated lives, had to dress like men, they had to have careers like men, had to be like men, wanted to go to the men's clubs, wanted to invade the men's privacy, all these sorts of things.
The second thing I said was that all they ended up accomplishing was messing up human nature.
Men and women are born different, and they have certain genetic behavioral traits.
The feminists didn't like this, that's why I wrote undeniable truth of life number 24.
Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.
What happened was that not only did women not know how to act, they were told you gotta be this and you gotta be that, you gotta get out of the house, you can't be made happy solely by a relationship, you cannot have your life a revolver on your family or a man.
You are letting down the sisterhood.
Now, men, weakling, gullible guys that we are, still, despite all these transformations, want women, most of us.
And so, as the conniving schemers we are, we did what we had to do to get them as best we could.
In the process, natural genetic human behavioral roles were changed.
People began behaving in ways that were unfamiliar to them and that they weren't comfortable being.
And basically, you had a bunch of people trying to be what they thought everybody wanted them to be, and nobody was genuine.
Hello, divorce rate skyrocketing.
Once found out who we married really were, vice versa, and so forth and so on.
Lo and behold, in the in the enlightened UK Daily Mail today, the headline says it all.
Of course, the my favorite part of this is the byline.
The author of this story is Rosie Boycott.
R-O-S-I-E boycott, Rosie Boycott.
The headline says it all.
Feminism was going to liberate both sexes, but instead it destroyed a generation of men.
I would also say it's done a lot of damage to a lot of young girls.
All these young girls out there thinking they have to have sex all the time, have to get print.
Look at Britney Spears in Paris.
So what a I mean, you you uh Lindsay Lohan, collection of absolute airheads.
Uh, and and you can't say that that does not result from some of the confusion and the tumult of feminism.
Let me give you an accompanying story and then ask you guys in the audience a question.
This is a story from Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City.
Boys at Monticello High School have allegedly been pressuring girls to pose nude, and then we're sharing the photographs with others.
More than 30 girls may have been victims in what San Juan County Sheriff Mike Lacey is calling a child pornography case.
As many as eight boys are believed to be involved, though four appear to have been the biggest culprits.
Some of these teenagers have turned 18.
They could face charges as adults.
Some of this had been going on for two or three years, Lacey said.
By the time we got the report, it just kind of snowballed.
In some instances, the boys drove girls into the mountains near Monticello.
The boys told the girls that if they wanted to ride down, they needed to bear themselves for the cameras.
Now my question for you guys is this.
When you were in high school, how many girls were you able to pressure into posing nude for your camera?
In fact, ladies and gentlemen, I will I will lead this discussion.
I never even tried.
I I mean, this this is just a sample, just a little slice to show you how things have changed.
The girls fall for this now.
The girls fall for this is you can't say it's totally a failure of feminism, but the feminists have got to see this.
So whoa, what is happening to our movement?
Being tricked by these these guys this way?
What's that?
Well, they probably see Paris Hilton and all these other babes out there being famous and getting on television and going to all these parties by behaving in such risque fashion.
Uh so I'm just telling you, feminist movement has done more damage.
It has that we've we've had the feminization of the culture, particularly in Washington, D.C. And uh you still have a bunch of guys running around not knowing how to be men anymore and afraid to be men because if it's going to offend somebody, it's gonna be too macho.
Like I didn't want to say this yesterday, but I gotta tell you, I was, you know, we I screened uh Apocalypto, which opens tonight uh in over 2500 screens around the country, Mel Gibson's movie.
Fascinating to read the reviews in the liberal papers.
Oh, my gosh, folks, you would have think I produced this movie.
These reviews are reviews of what a sicko Gibson must be.
They do give the film plaudits for its cinematography.
It is gorgeous.
It's it's digital photography.
It's a stunning thing to see, but it's got its blood guts and gore.
There's no question about it.
But three of the women walked out.
First thirty minutes.
And it wasn't because it was too gory when I talked to him later we were having dinner.
I just don't like all this macho stuff.
Hey, it was an ancient culture of men who ran the show.
But they were loving and protecting of their women.
Uh, as the as the movie depicts.
So macho's bad.
Men being men.
That's not good, except secretly it really is.
Because that's what women really want, but even they are afraid uh to let it be known in mass.
All right, enough of this sort, because you know, I know this stuff, folks, but I know many of you uh uh do not like somebody sounding so certain, so sure of himself uh and so right that bothers a lot of nobody that's sure that that's all I said what I have to say about it.
We'll take a brief time out.
More of your phone calls are coming up.
All right, I knew it, folks.
I knew when I first heard about this lone terrorist that was gonna blow up Chicago Mall.
I knew the guy was a Methodist.
They finally discovered his name, Talib Abu Salam ibn Sharif.
I know a Methodist name when I hear a Methodist name.
I I grew up Methodist, I was raised Methodists, and I am profiling uh the 22-year-old Talib Abu Salam ibn Sharif.
Uh charged with plotting a terrorist attack at a Rockford, Illinois mall during the uh during the uh Christmas season.
And the House Ethics Committee is going to conclude, I am told that no Republican leader did anything wrong at any time during the Mark Foley episode.
So they are throwing in a trash here with the uh all garbage the rest of the weekend.
