Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, a program that meets and surpasses all audience expectations on a daily basis.
It's Friday.
You know what that means.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny, South Florida via New York City.
It's open line Friday.
And this is your host, your highly trained broadcast specialist taking one of the greatest career risks anybody in modern major media takes.
And that is turning over the content of this program to a bunch of rank amateurs.
Lovable rank amateurs.
You are still rank amateurs.
But that's what makes it fun.
Open Line Friday, one of the most unique communication events in all of American media.
Rush Limbaugh at 800-282-2882.
Really, when we go to the phones, the program is yours.
I don't have to care about it.
Even if I don't care about it, I'll be happy to talk about it with you.
It's not that you're supposed to come up with things I don't care about.
That's a challenge to you, you can try it.
But it's uh really to open it up to you because Monday through Thursday, we talk only about those things that interest me.
I don't want to sit here and be bored, so I only talk about things I care about.
And you have uh the opportunity to change that all around today with questions, comments, uh, complaints, whining, moaning, compassion, anger, uh, whatever it is.
Feel free.
Again, the number's 800-282-2882.
We had one of these snotty little snivelling little liberals call here about uh oh an hour and a half ago.
One of the uh new castrati.
Well, I didn't start out being mean to the guy, but I got uh look at the guy became irritating after not too long a period of time.
It was mumbo jumbo.
It was gobbledygook, psychobabble.
You know, I'm not gonna sit here and and uh try to have an intelligent conversation with somebody is that that's gibberish.
Or as one of my favorite TV shows, they've got a great judge on Boston legal legal, Boston legal, this old judge refuses to tolerate gibber jabber.
And this guy was full of gibber jabber.
But um they didn't want to be conciliatory.
That's what he said.
Uh he was said that it was a smart aleck.
He wasn't being conciliatory.
Anyway, the point he made was that we've got to get out of Iraq.
It's the only thing that animates liberals these days, uh getting out of Iraq, and of course, curing every known disease.
Uh and and the point that he made was that the Iraqis don't want us there, and the American people voted for this.
And that's why the Democrats are on the show.
The American people want us out of Iraq, and so do the Iraqis.
Now, where do you suppose can pick a city in the country?
Name for me the city that probably has the greatest percentage of its population as anti-war zealots.
San Francisco is right, Mr. Snerdley.
San Francisco.
Brian, you were just out there, but did you enjoy it?
Did you have a good time?
It's uh did you stay in a nice hotel?
Oh, you stayed at the Ritz.
Oh, not bad, not bad.
I love San Francisco as a physical place to get one of the most beautiful places on planet.
I just absolutely love San Francisco.
I've said countless times, one of my favorite places to go is Fort Point, which is underneath the South Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge.
I don't even know if they've reopened it after 9-11.
They closed it for a while.
But I mean, it's just a gorgeous city.
At any rate, get this.
Twenty-eight opponents of the Iraq war were arrested, arrested after blocking entrances of the San Francisco Federal Courthouse yesterday during a demonstration in support of an army officer who refused to go to Iraq.
The demonstrators from a group called Declaration for Peace were among about 150 people from several organizations rallying outside the building at 450 Golden Gate Avenue to protest the war.
Now, this is San Francisco, and this guy called the American people want to sort of American people, that's what the election was all about.
And the left Cannot get any protest marches mounted of any significance in this country.
Hell, they were embarrassed by the immigration crowd all last year.
Even on the anniversary of the Iraq War, they couldn't drum up anything.
And here in the anti-war capital of the country, a hundred and fifty people.
And only twenty-eight arrests.
That is embarrassing.
That ought to humiliate everybody in San Francisco for all the way across the bridge to Berkeley.
I mean, come on.
Twenty-eight people were brave enough to lie down in front of the entrances.
My gosh.
I mean, that's that's that it really is humiliating.
This is this is gosh, in the old days, they would have blown up the federal building.
They would have launched fire bombs at the thing.
They would have driven their cars through the front doors.
I mean, what happened to the real anti-war left?
Most of us just aging and getting older and sitting there taking peptabismol and prep H while watching Katie Couric.
New story here from Science Daily in a new and unique study to determine if genes on the Y chromosome are involved in prostate cancer.
Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, in conjunction with Hebrew University of Jerusalem, found that men who had only daughters had a higher risk of prostate cancer than men who had at least one son.
Thus signifying a possible defect on the father's Y chromosome.
The results published in the January 3rd, 2007 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute further indicate that the relative risk of prostate cancer decreases as the number of sons increases.
The researchers in the mailman's school department of epidemiology analyze the relative risk of prostate cancer by the sex of offspring among fathers registered in a family-based research cohort in Israel.
And they studied about 39,000 men for this.
Question, Mr. Snurdley, the official program observer has a question.
What's a question?
Mm-hmm.
Uh the child is left out?
The child oh, oh yes, the childless.
Well, I guess we can assume here that the childless don't get prostate cancer.
Um men with no sons are more at risk for prostate cancer if all they have is daughters, but if you don't have any kids, I wonder what your prostate cancer risk is.
Uh uh.
You think that's what it is if you have all daughters, you're you're you're bent over for a living.
Wow.
I haven't looked at it that way.
Not not being uh father at all.
Well, uh, can you imagine somebody?
Does this not just sound patently absurd?
Can you imagine some who would come up with the original theory here?
Let's study this.
This, you know what?
This is the kind of story that turns us into just a bunch of quivering, quivering vegetables.
Oh my god, prostate cancer if I don't have a son.
Oh no!
And this is it, people are gonna run and they're gonna believe this.
Still, by the way, have not noticed the cacophony of people supporting the notion that women doing housework reduces breast cancer.
Have you noticed how that hasn't been reported since we first made it public on Wednesday?
It doesn't seem to I haven't seen any experts on TV talking about it.
Uh I I haven't seen any feminists being asked about it to debunk it.
It just died out there.
But we're talking breast cancer.
That they've got a ribbon.
What color's the ribbon?
Purple?
Pink.
They get a pink ribbon.
So breast cancer is a big thing, and we've learned that housework reduces it.
In the UK study of lots of women.
30% pre and post-menopausal, less chance of getting breast cancer of the more housework, not regular exercise, the more housework.
Story's been buried.
Story is uh is nowhere.
Uh let's see.
Did this earlier?
Majority of Americans view media coverage of Iraq as inaccurate.
Um here's this.
You know, the news coming out of the UK these days is just fascinating.
Like the housework reducing breast cancer story.
From the Times Online in the UK, smokers should be denied surgery.
The National Health Service, unless they kick their habit, a leading doctor has said in a debate published in the British Medical Journal today, Professor Matthew Peters, head of thoracic medicine at the Concord Repatriation General Hospital in Sydney, Australia, claims that five non-smokers could be operated on for the cost of four smokers and their outcomes would be better.
About a thousand patients a day are admitted to NHS hospitals in England.
And it already standing in line.
And so this guy's saying, the hell with the smokers.
They're killing themselves already.
Don't even do surgery on.
I got a better idea.
Let's just shoot them.
Okay, it's open line Friday and L. Rushbow serving humanity, folks, simply by showing up your host for life.
Uh Rick and Toledo, your next sir.
Welcome.
Mega Diddles, Russ, how are you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
How are you doing?
Oh, I'm doing just great.
Well, that's great.
Say hi to family for me.
Sure will.
Hey, Rush, question I have for you is now I can't answer it, but why isn't that Oprah Winfrey is not getting the same flack or the angry words or what have you that Bill Cosby did when he or she either talks about the plight of the black family or the school kids or whatever.
Well, the first place nobody knows she said it other than people that listen to this program.
Yeah.
The second reason is she is the Oprah, and she is a media queen and can squash anybody she wants to.
All people do is grovel and suck up to the Oprah.
Nobody criticizes the Oprah.
I mean, there are few do, but you don't hear much about them uh after they do.
Uh and uh Cosby uh makes career at Cosby has run around and he's making public speeches about Oprah's comment came while she was in South Africa, and she was in the midst of doing wonderful, brilliant and caring, charitable work, setting up a school for poor South African kids.
It's just a beautiful thing.
And she happened to say, in answer why she was there, well, I go to these inner city schools, Chicago, and kids say what they need is iPods and sneakers on.
I don't think they're even want to learn.
But nobody knows about it.
Um the reason nobody knows about it is because the media is not going to make a big deal of it.
And if if the civil rights leadership is not gonna rip her, I guarantee you nobody else is gonna join the train.
Uh the civil rights leadership got all over Bill Cosby.
And that that that was the ticket for everybody else to start kicking.
Well, yeah, that answers my question.
You know, that I see how that happens.
That's amazing when you call here and you need to have a question.
Most people do get their questions answered.
It's a service.
Uh plus, you know, th there's there's other things.
There they're they're um Cosby is is he doesn't have his television show currently.
Uh he's uh he's you know, he just he's he's uh uh doesn't have the platform that he once had.
If he did this when he was hosting his show and it was popular, then uh it it might have um he might have had a different reaction or uh people would have had a different reaction to him.
But it's it really is more about Oprah.
Uh nobody but nobody.
Do you think Donald Trump would ever call Oprah a fat slob?
Do you think he would know he do you think do you think Trump would get in any would anybody get in a feud with the Oprah?
Uh it just it just isn't Oprah is sainted.
Oprah is protected.
Oprah is her legacy is already written.
Bill Clinton salivates when he looks at what Oprah has been able to create for herself in terms of uh of her own legacy.
Rick, thanks for the call.
I uh appreciate it.
Salt Lake City and Brian, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Just good to hear you.
I'd like to get to the point here that uh the American people and the Republic is beaten, being beaten nigh death, and pretty soon will be beaten to Death by the drive-by media, as you point out, by using our own compassion against us.
And by doing so, it leaves all those that are just a little bit less strong, as you have pointed out a number of times and have actually put their brain into uh slight gear, let alone full gear, and thought about the ramifications of any of these things the Democrats are trying to shove down our happy little throats.
And uh making us feel bad that we're not uh opening up wider so they can shove it faster.
Well, I understand your point.
Um and believe me, the mouth is not in the throat, not the only orifice of Democrats want to get in.
Uh uh you gotta guard every entry and exit point in your body.
Because if they can find one, they'll exploit all of them.
But you're right.
That's why I call I call it we we're we're just we've become a bunch of pacifists.
We're afraid to stand up for what we believe and think because it might hurt somebody's feelings, it might offend somebody, or it might cause a confrontation, get us in an argument.
And uh can't can't have that.
And so, you know, you know what I think.
I think I think at the guilt at the root of it is guilt, but I mean that's that's painting with a broad brush, and there's certainly uh more factors than just than just guilt, but it's a uh it's I think it's something that's that's uh permeating a lot more of the country than I used to think it did.
And I think feminization of the culture, conflict resolution classes in school, uh a lot of things being taught in school, the the the uh uh it th there's a whole lot of things, and it's just it's it's having a cumulative effect, uh the whole notion that uh that manliness is somehow sick.
Uh that there's something wrong with it.
Uh it also is is is been percolating out there for the for the longest time.
But when you say being beat to death by our own compassion, what you're really talking about is we're paralyzing ourselves.
Uh and we get all caught up.
I mean, even the president said that Saddam's execution could have been more dignified.
Come on.
You know, I I'm I'm not why he's saying it, but just the the the you know what at times not only are we we we're we act afraid of our own shadow, but then that we can turn around and become the most vain, arrogant people in the world projecting our way of doing things on everybody.
If the Iraqis, who are a bunch of Islamists, don't conduct an education the way we do, then we get upset and we feel bad.
How dare they embarrass us?
It's their country.
He was their tyrant.
They dealt with him in the way they they they they did.
It was their emotions, and we praise emotions in this country.
But it's but to beat ourselves up over this uh is typical of what I'm talking about.
Dan in St. Louis.
Hello, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Mega rank amateur dittoes, right?
Hey, I'm glad you recognize the way it is.
That's right.
Hey, we enjoy listening to you.
My wife and I on the 50,000 lot blowtorch, KMOX.
Thank you, sir.
They have two great pictures of you up in their hallway lobby.
Anyway, I'll try to do two.
I am that station.
There should be more than two.
Well, you'll have to ask them and see if they'll put more up.
That no, I never ask, I don't demand.
I w and this will get me probably a week of criticism next week on their morning show.
But nevertheless.
Okay.
What was it you talked about?
The Swedish psychologist.
Is that the Swedish psychologist, babe, who said that she doesn't date any men who stand up when going to the bathroom.
Yeah, that's true.
How does she know if they stand up when they go to the bathroom?
The splash factor.
You know, some men are pretty good at not having the splash factor.
No, this no no no.
There's th there is a splash factor.
Uh what what men don't generally do is deal with it afterwards.
Uh this woman probably goes in with invisible ink and what just to find any evidence of splash anywhere in there.
But you're right.
How does she know she has to go in and check afterwards?
Or she asks them.
Okay, so she okay.
I thought maybe she had to actually stand in there uh when they were doing it.
Well, look at with this bunch, you know, anything is possible.
I I I've then the story didn't get into that detail.
Here's the here's the thing.
It quoted her boyfriend.
The boyfriend said, okay, if that's what I have to do, sit down when urinating, that's what I'll do.
What is happening here?
Oh, man.
I mean, it's one thing to be told to bring home a loaf of bread and a box of milk or whatever after work, but to sit here and take that kind of command.
Well, let me tell you something.
My wife strongly encouraged me to call you and take a stand for men standing.
Well, that's good.
See, and it feels good, doesn't it?
It sure does.
Take a stand for men standing.
You could lead the movement.
You have you sound like you uh you have what it takes.
All right, a quick time out here, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
If you just joined us before that last call, you might be wondering what in the name of Sam Hill is going on here today.
If you missed it, if you missed the first hour and a half of the program, it's a shame.
You got to revisit it on the website, Rush Limbaugh.com, but the ascension of Nancy Pelosi as speaker has caused the drive-by media and Pelosi herself to assert the fact the country is in better shape ever.
Finally, finally now the normal characteristics of women which are triumphant and superior are running the show.
And of course, I think this is absurd, and it's it's typical groupthink politics.
Uh it balkanizes us, and it's we've got this feminized culture here of uh of things in this country.
And the great example is is is the way these uh lacrosse students at Duke were just presumed guilty.
The moment this particular woman made the charge, there was no doubt because of preconceptions, rich white guys, spoiled brats, partiers and so forth, poor black stripper, do uh whatever she was stripper, doing everything she could just to put her child through college, get herself in education, blah, blah, blah, but typically.
And you had his university professorette, who was out, tried to flunk one of the students, even though he got a passing grade.
Uh is just it was just anyway, and the supporting stories about this.
One of the stories was that women in Australia, Sweden, and somewhere else are literally organizing to try to make it the law that men have to sit down while urinating, and it's not the splash factor, it's because men standing while urinating is nothing more than an expression of male power domination and macho.
And I am not making this up.
That's why if you missed it, you missed it, and you'll have to revisit it.
And they're even polling this in these countries.
So far, it's not too good for the men have to sit down crowd.
Only 17% think that should happen.
But stop and think of that for a minute.
They're polling it.
And like gay marriage and all this, these things don't go away once people bring them up.
So that's what the guy was calling to talk about that.
I I want to move uh on to a couple other things here before time expires for our busy broadcast today.
Heath Schuler from uh Tennessee, former NFL and University of Tennessee quarterback sworn into office.
This is amazing.
He says, I had a good conversation with Speaker Pelosi.
We talked about my conservative views.
She's fully aware of the district I represent.
I'm here to represent the people of my district, and she's here to represent hers.
She said, if we vote against each other, it's because we're voting with our district.
Heath, Heath, he's probably not listening to me today.
If you actually think, Heath, that you're going to survive by not doing what Pelosi tells you to do.
Ha.
Heath, your only reason for existing is to put her into the leadership.
They knew that they couldn't win that district with a liberal Democrat, so they recruit you, a conservative Democrat who's able to out conservative the Republican incumbent, which is a shame and an embarrassment for our side.
And Heath, by the way, this this is mentioned this earlier.
Despite their differences, Schuler praised Pelosi for becoming the country's first female speaker.
He said that Pelosi was an inspiration to his daughter Island.
Shuler.
A two-year-old.
Daddy, Daddy, I wouldn't grow up.
I won't grow up to be just like that insipid old woman who's speaker at the house.
She is so inspiring to me.
Daddy, can I meet Nancy?
Come on, folks, two years old.
A kid doesn't know what inspiration is at two years old.
Speaking of standing up or sitting down, how about Port Potty training?
Fuel for cars may be in trouble here, ladies, and this is hilarious.
Listen to this.
A story from the Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel.
Soaring demand for corn to make ethanol could trigger high U.S. food prices and riots in low-income countries as grain supplies tighten, according to a report released Thursday.
I love that.
Riots.
The government has vastly underestimated the amount of corn needed to fuel the demand for ethanol, according to the report from Lester Brown, a researcher and president of the Earth Policy Institute, an environmentalist wacko think tank in Washington.
Corn's the made ingredient for ethanol mixed with gasoline to make motor fuel.
Bushel of corn produces about 2.8 galleon gallons of ethanol.
And the story goes on to describe all of these food products made with corn and corn itself are going to skyrocket in price.
Because there's going to be less corn for that, because it's all going to be used up for ethanol.
And that is going to lead to riots in low-income countries where grain supplies will type.
Riots.
And it's the environmentalist wackos who are down complaining who gave us this stuff.
You can't write this stuff.
Tim Johnson won a coveted chairman today.
He's still in the hospital.
He has not spoken.
He is on a ventilator at night in order to breathe.
He's responsive in some, but he doesn't speak.
He had a brain hemorrhage.
Those are not good.
It's not.
Those are those are those are very, very bad for those are.
Tim Johnson won a coveted chairmanship of a Senate appropriations subcommittee yesterday, even though he's still in critical condition.
South Dakota Democrat remains in intensive care.
What subcommittee is this?
It's the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veteran Affairs.
The Senator will lose none of his rights during his absence, and his office remains open for business, said spokeswoman Julianne Fisher.
There he goes.
And they said, wait a minute.
He'll be just about as effective as any of these other Democrat chairmen.
So what's the uh what's the difference?
And Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana received an ovation from the Congressional Black Caucus.
As reported on Fox and Friends this morning, got a standing ovation, and he too, I think got some committee chairmanship.
Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
Uh and of course, what now you have to understand how this happens.
Jefferson gets a standing O. And what's really happening here is that the amateurs in the house were honoring the professional.
Here's a guy who knows how to get away with 90 grand in the cash of cash in the freezer.
Who knows what other ethical charges may be coming down if he got away with it.
He gets a standing O, because he beat the system.
He beat the man.
He beat the system.
He got away with it, and that's why he got a hero's welcome, because the amateurs in the house who aspire to get away with it like Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, saw that he did, and it was a standing O of honor and respect.
Here is Jerry in Boston.
Jerry, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Great talking with you.
Hey, uh, I've got a theory on this whole feminization of um the Europeans.
I just moved back from Berlin, Germany.
I was living here for the last ten years, married to a uh German lady.
The uh my theory is that they lost so many men in the second world war that so many households grew up without any father figure, strong father figure, that these the German male just became feminized.
And they're just a bunch of soft mushy whimps.
And therefore, you know, sitting down, you know, they don't fight with it.
I had a bunch of friends, and they all sat down.
I was the only one.
That's what I'm not gonna sit down.
In fact, you might want to be watched out because I'm at a little mock the corner in the in the bathroom.
And uh that's all I have to say about that.
Well, I think I think there are a number of reasons.
I mean, this that that that might be a um uh a factor uh in in some cases, but you you look, you cannot, you cannot remove from the equation the express design of militant feminism to accomplish just this.
Uh you're you're talking about natural factors that occurred.
I mean, those households where there were uh few or no men after World War II, the women in those households were not exhibiting and employing an ideology in order to change the world.
Uh that might have just happened as a result of the acculturation that the uh young kids got into family.
But the militant feminism in the modern era since the late 60s and the early 70s has been specifically about defining normal male characteristics as sick, in need of repair, fixing, predatory, what have you, and normal female characteristics as the norm for everybody.
Uh, and it's expressed in a in a number of uh of different ways.
As we talked about earlier, women have about 20,000 communication events a day.
So says a psychobabble magazine, men have 7,000.
I I'd like to know how you tabulate a communication event.
I mean, how many do I have in the course of this show?
Is this one communication event, or is every call a communication event, or is every time I open my mouth and swallow and take a breath of communication event?
What is a communication event?
Every new thought, verbalized, every verbalized expression of a thought is a communication event.
Well, all right, they calculate women have 20,000 a day, men have 7,000.
Of course, this is used to say that men don't communicate enough.
You know, that men are just they're just beasts and they don't want to deal with it.
The more communication, the more communication events, the more normal people are.
Of course, when movies portray heroic male characters, they don't say diddly squat, they just kill the bad guys.
Clint Eastwood's a great example.
I mean, I I piddled around over the vacation, watch a good, the bad and the ugly, and I Clint Eastwood might have said 20 words.
And everybody knew what he was thinking and saying when he didn't say a word.
Uh and it just of course, um what was the other example given?
Um forget the toilet seat, that's too camp.
But but channel surfing.
Men like channel surf because that represents curiosity, a desire for exploration.
Uh it's portrayed as a short attention span and rudeness to women.
Uh women look at it as a failure to commit to one show.
And so forth.
Now, these are the funny aspects of it.
These are the humorous characteristics.
But uh uh feminism's taken over the public school system, and it look at the lack of male attendance at institutions of higher learning.
That actually bodes well, by the way, but uh in terms of just having an overall classical education, it doesn't bode well, but men just don't want to go there.
No one to take ballroom dance taught by drill sergeants in the wax, don't want to have to take home egg, uh, and don't want to get complained at and whined at uh for being who they are.
So they uh, as I say, go get an SUV and a gun and arm up.
Back in a sec.
Hi.
How are you?
Rush Limbaugh, half my brain as always, tied behind my back to make it fair.
From Atlanta, a million dollar stone sculpture intended to remind future generations of the Earth's fragility, collapsed three months after it was unveiled.
Made its point a little early.
The uh 175-ton spaceship Earth by a Finnish-born sculptor lay in ruins at Kennesaw State University after mysteriously falling to pieces last week.
That's what it was supposed to do, but it was not supposed to happen this soon.
It was a one million dollar globe sculpture, and it collapsed.
It was built to remind future generations, which means 25, 50, 75 years and on from now, of the Earth's fragility.
Now, what's amazing about this, these environmentalist wackos, they said it's it's humorous, it's not amazing.
They set up these these doomsday scenarios for the planet.
And in their version of these doomsday scenarios, we're constantly on the brink of collapse.
We only have a few precious years to save the oceans to save the atmosphere to save the client, or we're gonna be flooded with rising sea levels, and it's just terrible, Mr. Limbo, we're all gonna die.
Well, the earth goes on, nothing we do destroys it, nothing we can do destroys it.
Nothing we can do will destroy it.
It just keeps right on going.
It's been beating for billions and billions and billions of years, and here these big hearted, well-intentioned, smarter than anybody else in a room, liberal environmentalist wackos build their little symbol, spend a million dollars on a sculpture designed to show us how fragile the real earth is, and their work crumbles after three months.
That is just justice.
Who's next to this for Roman in Boynton Beach, Florida?
Roman, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Big mega Bulgarian Ditos from a not so well trained broadcast specialist listener.
That's okay.
It's okay to be an amateur if you're a caller on this program.
And you have to forgive me if I'm nervous.
No, no, you don't sound nervous at all.
And I'm also a member of LDA.
The Long Drivers of America.
You're a golfer, too, right?
Long drive.
Oh, are you really?
Yep.
Well.
Well, I was the owner up of the in New Jersey on the qualifying rounds, and then I busted the shoulder, which was reconstructed.
What kind of driver?
What kind of driver do you use?
How long a shaft?
Fifty.
And the drivers ironically enough, I make my own.
I all order the components.
I have a K Viper nine, and I have the shafts are one is a ballistic and one is the assassin.
K Viper nine and an assassin, a ballistic and assassin's a fifty-inch shaft.
Yes.
Well, the babe's bigger.
Extremely heavy.
Extremely heavy.
It's over the charts.
It doesn't even come the swing weight.
Very, very few people can do that, but I'm an ex-hockey player.
I can't swing a 50-foot shaft.
I will even try.
Yeah, not only that, but it's very heavy.
50 inch.
Oh, of course it'd be heavy.
Yeah.
Well, but I'm also an ex-hockey player, so I'm used to some heavy stuff.
Um the reason I called is because if you watched uh Her Highness Pelosi now, uh yesterday, her words were still ringing in the room when the uh uh representative from Florida said uh uh Miss Belosi or Miss Speaker or Madam Speaker,
is uh is it registered that uh the race is being contested, the one in Florida for the Verne Buchanan's race, that's a Catherine Harris's old seat.
Yes, and this Democrat that lost refuses to go away on this.
And um Roman, I hate to interrupt you because of time, but I I have to tell you to keep keep a sharp eye on this, because if the Democrats really want that seat, they can do it.
They pulled this off against the Republicans back in the late 80s in Indiana.
I forget the name of the uh of the congressman involved.
Uh but but uh Tony Quello was involved in it, uh making it happen.
I forget.
But if they really, really, really want this seat, they can find a way to uh to make it happen.
Um and they're doing it on the base of undervotes.
And I don't have time to define an undervote, but there are significant number of them.
Uh, and they're trying again blame it on the machines, but courts have ruled in favor of Buchanan.
He did get seated, and he did get his vote card.
Uh, but the the Democrats is not the end of the day for him.
Dale in Richmond, Virginia, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Hey.
I got more bad news about men only having about 7,000 communicative thought processes a day.
Yeah, communication events.
Yeah, communication events, excuse me.
Um, the bad news is six thousand of my seven thousand are about sex.
So we're we're really screwed, you know.
That's of course true.
And so it cancels out of the 7,000 communications communication thoughts you have.
Six thousand number about sex, so you're actually down to a thousand substantive communication thoughts per day versus women's twenty.
He's so right.
He may not know how right.
Okay, folks, hope you have a great weekend.
I plan to uh gonna cause a little global warming here in about a half hour, flying to Los Angeles, cause more global warming flying back on Sunday.
