Time Text
Yeah, I know I was just looking for something.
I was singing thought we had an audio sum about or something, but we don't.
No big deal.
Greetings.
Rush Limbaugh.
Raring and ready to go.
Revved up.
Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Friday.
You know all that.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And so far, great bunch of calls on Open Line Friday.
Remember.
Monday through Thursday.
We only talk about things that I care about.
I talk about things I don't care about.
It's going to sound boring.
Nobody's going to want to listen.
Just a good thing I care about a lot of stuff.
Well, on Friday, I don't have to care about it.
It's your show when we go to the phones.
Can ask, you can comment, you can complain.
You can whine, you can moan.
Bring up pretty much whatever you want, except local phone bill problems, and that's what we leave that to the overnight guys.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and email if you want to go that way.
Rush at EIB net.
Well, it was on this program.
If you listen to this program, by the way, you are on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
It wasn't long ago.
Well, it was a long time ago.
It was to be in the early 90s.
This program during the um uh discussions of women in combat military came up with the unique idea of the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion, a bunch of uh combat ready females uh on PMS.
Uh way to go if you had great, great tactic.
In fact, it uh might have worked in getting Manuel Noriega out of his uh hiding place a little sooner than playing rock music did.
Well, a United Nations has ripped me off.
The United Nations' first all-female peacekeeping force, made up of 105 Indian police women, is set to deploy to the troubled West African country of Liberia, an official said Friday.
The team, which has been training since September, leaves for Liberia on Sunday.
They will initially stay there for six months, and then it will depend on the UN.
This is the first all-female peacekeeping team, and participants have said that it would have unique advantages in conflict zones.
Yes, women police are seen to be much less threatening, although they can be just as tough as men.
But in a conflict situation, they are more approachable, and it makes women and children feel safer, said Sima Dundia, a unit commander.
Okay, well, interesting theory.
We'll keep keep an eye, make a note, keep an eye on Liberia.
Let's just see if women uh as peacekeepers are more approachable by women and children.
Uh you know, a lot of UN peacekeeping uh forces engage in rape.
Uh and uh child rape and a number of other it particularly in Africa.
Uh we'll see if there's any change in that behavior here with the all babe police force.
Have you, I'm sure you have.
You seen the story of this guy in New Hampshire who's holed up in his house, uh refusing to pay taxes.
He's been convicted of tax evasion, but he's not coming out.
He said he made money, less money.
He and his wife, who's by the way, uh he called her a uh champion herbalist.
And anyway, he and his wife have made less money than the President uh and Mrs. Bush, and yet they paid more taxes than President Mrs. Bush did.
Apparently, uh this guy says he doesn't know as many deductions as Bush does.
Just isn't right, calling himself a constitutional ranger.
Uh he was asked recently, what's your plan?
He said, What do you mean my plan?
I'm saving America.
So he's uh he's holed up in his house in New Hampshire.
They'll live free or die state.
Maybe he keeps shouting that too.
And he's uh they're just gonna wait him out.
Uh I mean, I doubt that they'll storm the house unless he starts firing at him, but he is uh he is armed in there.
Uh Nancy Pelosi said that she will not block Iraq funding to stop the troop surge.
Ditto.
See, I told you so.
Another one.
L. Rush Ball calling it way way back, meaningless resolution, nothing more than symbolism.
They don't have the guts to cut funding for the soldiers.
She was um let's see.
She was uh was this?
Uh yeah, it's cut seven.
Uh we're gonna keep this one for the archives, too.
She's on Good Morning America today.
Diane Sawyer said on Iraq, as we sit here right now, 3,500 troops are moving in.
That's the first of the surge.
It's begun.
Are you going to move to cut off funding for troops going into Iraq as part of the surge?
Democrats will never cut off funding for our troops, and they are in harm's way.
Uh but we will hold the president accountable.
He has to answer for his war.
He has dug a hole so deep he can't even see the light on this.
It's a tragedy.
It's a historic blunder.
Democrats will never cut off funding for well then.
What the hell is all this rigamarole going on in the uh in the House and in the Senate?
What is all of this?
It's exactly as I told you.
It's total show.
And it is it is it is fundraising for these people.
Uh, but it's it's also illustrating their investment in defeat.
Did you see the latest Fox News poll on this?
You know, this is this is uh this this'll this'll open your eyes, I think.
Here's the question.
Do you personally want the Iraq plan President Bush announced last week to succeed?
You want to hear the results?
The overall results are 63% of the American people say yes, 22% say no, and 15% say they don't know.
Well, let's let's combine those last two.
You basically have sixty-three percent of the American people who want the plan to succeed, and thirty-seven percent who either don't or don't know.
Now, interesting, isn't it, that uh Maurice Hinchy in the House of Representatives is running around on his uh hush rush tour for the fairness doctrine.
And he's out there among the things he is saying is that the American people are not getting both sides.
They're just not getting both sides.
How can that be when when in in a lot of polls, sixty percent of the American people are opposed to the Iraq war?
How in the world can he say that the that the American people are not getting both sides?
How in the world can he say even if you look at this poll when on this latest surge?
63% want it to succeed, 37 don't or don't know.
Where's the lack of balance?
What does he want?
80% opposing the war in Iraq?
Is that what he wants?
The idea Americans aren't getting both points of view is absurd, but this is troublesome.
We have all these people in the country.
Well, we support the troops.
We support the troops.
We don't got 150,000 of them over there, 20,000 more on the way.
And only 63% in a Fox News poll want this plan to work.
I.e.
want the United States to win the war.
Here's the party breakdown.
Democrats, do you personally want the Iraq plan?
President Bush announced last week to succeed.
Democrats, 51% yes, 34% no, 15% don't know.
Republicans, 79% yes, 11% no, 10% don't know.
Uh okay, so only 79%, not even 80% of Republicans want this to succeed.
And yet there's an imbalance of opinion in American media.
And the precious independence, ladies and gentlemen, those who tell us where we really are.
Sixty-three percent say they want it to succeed, nineteen percent say they don't, and seventeen percent say that they don't know.
Um of Democrats either want us to lose or don't know.
I wish somebody would tell me from the Democrat side, and even this 20% overall, and the 11% of Republicans Who don't want to succeed, would somebody explain to me the national interest in losing?
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, talent on lawn from God.
Our telephone number is 800 282-2882.
Let's see.
You've heard about the no spank bill in California?
Heard about this?
It'd be a crime to spank your kids ever.
Uh yeah, yeah.
Well, I'll get to this in a Schwarzenegger supports it.
Well, he's open to the idea.
By the way, have you heard what Schwarzenegger's saying about his plan to raise taxes in California?
To pay for all this stuff, the uh the health care.
He's calling it a loan.
He's trying to avoid the same pitfall that happened to Bush 41 when he reneged on his no new taxes pledge.
And he's he's calling it a loan.
Now, I have to think nobody on his staff would dare advise him of this, so this has to be his idea.
To call this a loan, to call a tax increase a loan as though it's gonna get paid back?
To whom and by whom?
Something's happened to Arnold, folks.
I don't know what it is, but but something has happened.
I mean, go back and listen to this guy in 2005 talking about tax cuts and responsible government and so forth.
Something's don't snurdly shouting, Maria!
Maria, I'm not going to play that role.
I'm not going to sit here and assume that the stereotype here of the liberal wife finally dominated, because this guy is.
Well, because why now?
Why now?
He's had all these years to lose control, to lose the power struggle of the ideology of the household.
Maybe because he's governor, the pressure's being ratcheted up from the I don't know, but something's happened.
But to call a tax increase alone, and now to say you're open to the idea of a ban on spanking?
You realize how many times my dad would have gone to jail if we'd have been, if I'd lived in California, my mother too.
Under four years old.
Yeah, under under four.
Oh, wait a minute.
Little Dawn piped in here.
You did are you on the uh uh are you are you trending toward agreeing with this?
What's the fine?
What is the penalty?
Do you know for parents who break this law if it happens?
Well, stand by and I will tell you.
I got a couple other things here.
Concerned.
This is some Silmar, California, concerned that their communities become a dumping ground for sex offenders.
Residents yesterday applauded a proposed law that would evenly distribute the state's most despised parolees across assembly districts.
Can you believe this?
They want equal distribution of sex offenders.
I have the solution to this.
Stating that 124 registered sex offenders live in Silmar, California, and just six of them reside in Beverly Hills.
Assemblyman Richard Alarcone D. San Fernando said that it is unfair that some communities, often in lower income areas, shoulder more responsibility than others.
If it was equal up and down the state, I guess Silmar would have to accept their fair share, but this is not equal, that's not right.
Under current law, sex offenders must return to the area where they lived before they go behind bars.
But in many cases, parolees do not have permanent housing to return to, so parole agents often find temporary housing in motels that meet residency requirements for them.
This is easy.
San Francisco.
Just send them welcome with open arms.
They wouldn't even be noticed in San Francisco.
All right.
Muslims now want a mosque in the football stadium.
This is Little Green Footballs, the uh the blog site.
Yet another demand from Muslims for special treatment, special treatment that we'd be denied to any other religious group.
They want timeout for prayer as the Ohio State Buckeyes pummeled the Northwestern Wildcats on Ryan Field last November.
Senior Amir Sadiqi and his friends slipped below the bleachers, remove their shoes, and knelt on pieces of poster board to pray.
As the sea of purple cheered and jeered above, they tuned out the world to perform Salat, the Islamic ritual prayer that faithful Muslims recite five times daily.
Sadiq will do the same in Welsh Ryan Arena next week when the Buckeyes basketball team goes up against the Wildcats, but rather than pray amid raucous crowds, some Muslim students are pressing Northwestern's athletic department to set aside a secluded space for the ritual or grant them permission to come and go from the arena before the buzzer.
Oh, if we attend the game in its entirety, we would miss one of our five daily prayers, said Sidiki, president of the Muslim Cultural Student Association.
I can leave the game early, come later, or pray somewhere in the stadium on dirty floors with lots of noise and lots of people around, which isn't a huge problem, but we'd love to have a small area.
Basically, don't want a mosque in the college basketball arena here.
Under the stands or what have you.
And of course, what are the odds that they'll get it?
Don't do that, Dawn.
Don't look like it's never gonna happen.
Here's why it'll probably happen, or one of the reasons from investors' business daily.
Since Keith Ellison's election to Congress as a Muslim, first Muslim elected, there has been a lot of noise in the media about the growing clout of the eight million Muslim electorate.
The um investors' business daily says eight million.
There are eight million Muslims in America now, boasted a spokeswoman for something called the Muslim Advancement Society.
She appeared on CNN to talk about what a proud day it was for her and other Muslim Americans to see a Muslim brother sworn into Congress for the first time.
Seems the size of the Muslim population in America jumps by an additional million every other year or so.
Just a couple of years ago, the consensus number bandied about in the media was seven million.
Before 9-11, it was six million.
Politicians in Washington are intimidated by the figure.
They believe it.
They just see it as a voting block.
But it's a wildly inflated estimate manufactured by CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, something the media could easily refute if they dared simply by deconstructing CARES unscientific methodology.
While the number of Muslims is growing thanks to higher birth rates and immigration, it's nowhere near care's claim.
Even the most generous independent estimate puts it at half that size, four million.
Finding reliable data for Muslims in America is hard because the Census Bureau doesn't survey creed.
So CARE, which has an agenda to Islamize America, has overfilled the vacuum.
To come up with its own figure, it's hired a respected scholar, quote unquote, by the name of Ishan Bagby to lead its study, but Bagby not only lacks independence, he's a care board member, he's not even a trained demographer.
Worse, he admits the number he arrived at is a guesstimation.
Now, here's how he came up with.
They got a 1,209 mosques.
They interviewed 416 of them.
They asked how many people were involved in their mosques in any way.
The average response is 1,625, which is probably high given that two Imams claim 50,000 when the nation's largest mosque in the D.C. suburbs has only 3,000.
Then he multiplied that fuzzy participation figure by the 1,209 mosques, came up with 2 million mosqued Moslems.
The next he multiplied that sum by a magical factor of three to capture Muslims who might not participate in mosque activities and got to the original six million guesstimate for the size of the Muslim population.
Kerr then took the liberty of bumping up the Muslim count seven million, now presto, it's at eight million and climbing.
Today, eight to ten millions.
Muslims live in the United States is the latest claim from Lieutenant Commander Abwena Muhammad Safulaz uh Saful Islam, who serves as Muslim chaptain for the new Marine Mosque at Quantico, Virginia.
So now it's up to eight to ten million, and this uh this bunch uh at Ohio State Northwestern what they they want a mosque now in the basketball arena so they can pray.
And of course, If politicians say eight to ten million Muslims out there, we could really make them mad by saying no.
I mean, if if they'll ignore the law on illegal immigrants because they're afraid of that voting block, and that's a larger number than Muslims, uh then it's not a stretch to assume that by the time this is all said and done, we're gonna end up with a mosque in a basketball arena at a major institution of higher learning.
It only takes one, and then we'll get more.
I mosque on campus, eh?
Okay, in the uh basketball arena, and next will come the football stadium.
UK, folks.
Okay.
That's right, a man, a living legend, a way of life.
L Rushball, never screwing up here on the EIB network.
Open line Friday.
Back to the phones to Seattle and Bruce, great to have you, sir.
Welcome.
Hey Raj.
Megaditos from uh it's actually Renton, Washington.
Thank you.
Quick point uh on this uh caring about the future because liberals uh uh want to stop global warming, man-made global warming.
What would our war and terror look like if they had the same devotion to stopping that as they do something that global warming they say is gonna happen, what, 150 years from now?
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
It depends.
Uh uh Nancy Pelosi says he's gonna stop it in ten years, which means we better stop in ten years or we're cooked.
Others are saying we got till twenty thirty, Al Gore says till twenty fifty, others are saying twenty uh or twenty one hundred.
So the range is in, I guess twenty to a hundred years, or we're fried.
Right, but we got two years for the uh possible atomic weapons in Iran, correct?
Give or take.
Possible atomic weapons in a two years.
Well, that's uh something may have them now.
They may have them next month, maybe we're not quite sure about that, but certainly uh uh nuclear weapons in Iran, a likelihood long before and by the way, w you know this is interesting.
W well w this this this doomsday for global warming, when will they ever say it's arrived?
They can't because they can't it's like racism can never end even though it does.
They are or will, because then there's no race industry.
Right, but we have we have actual video footage of terrorism that already has arrived.
And they're not going after that with the same gusto.
Well, no, that's uh that that that's true.
Uh but see that there's a difference.
Um we aren't terrorists in the sense that uh t that we you know fly our own planes into buildings, but we are terrorists in the way we're destroying the planet.
So this is a it's about American guilt.
It's it's about chopping America down to size.
You gotta understand who's behind these movements.
I mean, who's leading them?
And they the stragglers may not have any clue.
You know, in fact, most people, average people who get on the global warming bandwagon do it because they want to make a difference, Mr. Limbaugh, they want to help.
And of course the leaders here, they're they they are the wild extremist ideologues who have a total political agenda with this.
And I understand that they're trying that I understand what you're saying, but they're always masking their global warming uh efforts under we have to stop this for the future.
Right.
But we don't have to solve terrorism for the future.
Right.
Yeah, where's the sense of urgency on a real threat to us?
Right.
Um well, you know, the it it's a great question.
I'm not trying I'm trying I'm trying to answer it in a way.
Uh so I know the answer.
I just wonder why it's never put to them that way.
Well, what's the question?
Well, what is the answer then?
Oh why waste time saying it?
We all know.
I didn't hear you.
What uh uh well the because the Democrats are never gonna be pinned down like that.
Well, no, the wait a minute now, you I'm having to w uh uh just uh why are they never pinned down about some things that may harm the future but not others?
Global warming, we have to act now, no matter how many zillions of dollars it costs.
Terrorism that could affect us in two years.
Don't worry about it.
We can pull out.
Uh yeah, well, nobody dares ask them the question.
Right.
Well, that that's the whole point of what I'm saying.
Okay, I got you.
I got you.
I thought you were cross I'm so used to people looking for answers from me rather than asking me rhetorical questions.
Forgive me on that.
Uh that was a little arrogance and conceit on my part coming out.
But I'm it's just a pattern.
It's uh it's uh it's a bit you you were good.
You you corrected me on that.
It is a good rhetorical question.
Uh but of course you have to say liberalism is a religion.
It has articles of faith like everything else.
One of the biggest articles of faith is man-made global warming.
And it's uh it it overrides a lot that and a lot of other ideological issues, override other things.
And by the way, part and parsley, some of these people think we deserve to get hit by terrorists.
They need us cut down to say we need to find out what it feels like, what we've been doing to the rest of the world.
And Madeleine Albright, by the way, thinks it's fine and dandy that these regimes would get nukes because it's stabilized the world.
It's unstable to have a lone world superpower.
A Las Vegas doctor has been implanting stem cells harvested from placentas into patients with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and other diseases.
All of this in violation of federal law.
According to a warning letter released by health officials on Thursday, Dr. Alfred Saps failed to properly obtain, store, test, and process the placentas, as well as screen both the suitability in the donors and the patients given the uh human tissue, according to the FDA.
Sixteen patients received the stem cells, the FDA said.
Oversight of implants of stem cells and other types of tissue is important to avoid infecting uh patients with viruses or bacteria.
Furthermore, SAPS, the doctor didn't allow an FDA investigator to see and copy records on his implant patients during a July 6, 2006 agency uh inspection of his firm stem cell pharma.
You know, this is this tip of the iceberg, uh, folks.
This is going to get really out of control.
And I'm gonna tell you why it you're you're gonna have more rogue doctors doing this, and it's it's it's it's gonna further mess this whole thing up.
And I'm gonna tell you precisely why it's happening.
It's because Democrats, like Claire McCaskill and others, they're all over the whole House Democrat caucus, their s their silly little uh uh stem cell uh uh uh embryonic stem cell bill and so forth.
Uh John Edwards promising that Christopher Reeve will walk if Democrats are elected, if John Kerry's elected, and of course we can't leave Mr. Michael J. Fox out.
They're they're creating this false hop that that embryonic stem cells are a miracle cure if we would only get going on it.
And the only reason we're not getting going on it is because Republicans don't want you cured.
Republicans want people to die.
Republicans want people to stay sick.
Republicans will criminalize people who research.
Well, this is what you get.
When you when you start creating these false hopes, and when you start creating these uh demands from people for their diseases to be cured, because you know, politicians with average people carry a lot of authority and rate.
And so do celebrities, and if they're out there promising if only these people get in charge, why miracles will happen.
This is just tip of the ice.
This is totally out of control.
You're gonna have a bunch of Frankensteins out there.
You couple this with the uh designer babies that are being conceived now or trying to be conceived.
Uh the ethics in genetics is already uh a problem.
Mark my words, this this Las Vegas doctor is just tip of the iceberg on this.
Brookings, Oregon.
Bryce, glad you called, sir.
Hey, hey, diddles, Rush.
Hey.
Uh, I wanted to go back to your NFL thing and uh where all this uh celebration and and disrespect that they're talking about came from.
And uh I think it started clear back in the eighties with the New York Jets and a particular lineman by the name of Mark Gastoneau.
Oh, yeah.
99 Mark Gaston, part of the New York Sack Exchange with Joe Clecko.
See, I couldn't remember the other guy's name, Joe Clecko.
Yeah, but it seemed like a nice Clecko was pretty cool, but but you're right, Gastino did the first sack dance.
Yeah, right over the top of whoever, the quarterback or or dump the lineman in the backfield.
That's right.
That's right.
And he started that, and that's what they do today.
Now the owners are just adding the uh the gang signs and the black colors and everything, and uh and it's and it's moving up into the stand.
What do you mean gang signs?
What do you mean?
Well, you watch some of this stuff you think is uh is a Heisman uh statue or something, then uh, you know, they're not in a college anymore.
Why are they doing a Heisman pose?
Okay, so uh if you uh if you check with the prisons and stuff, some of these are gang signs they're flashing that they're doing after uh after these incredible sacks that they're gonna be.
Wait a minute.
Wait a-wait a second.
Wait a second.
Why do you think the NFL players are all going to black?
Look how look how much more black there is now.
Well now, I understand that.
I know that the the the uniforms, all black uniforms or alternate jerseys that have black on them, and I know that that is that has roots.
Suppose I've been told it has roots in gang culture.
But but wait, the behavior?
You're you're saying that on field behavior is rooted in gang?
Absolutely.
How so?
We're these guys are not members of gangs.
They're not.
They're not.
You got it in the in the uh NBA as well that they're doing.
One particular player just got uh just got traded.
He's he's come right out and talked about it.
Well, I know the NBA guys have as their idols hip hoppers.
Exactly.
Uh and and rappers and and uh uh the well, there are a lot of reasons, but it it basically uh boils down to, in my opinion, a lack of class and a lack of discipline on the part of and these are young guys, too, for the most part.
I mean, these are out of college if they ever went uh twenties, uh a lot of money.
Uh you know, this poor Darrell Williams, uh who was uh killed in a drive-by shooting in Denver on New Year's Eve after the Broncos lost a heartbreaker in the uh in the playoffs.
Uh he had been at an NBA players, Kenyan Martin on the NBA players party, and they're trying to find a discuffle happen in there.
It was he involved in it or not.
He had cleaned his uh life up, he'd come from poor beginnings and so forth.
But a lot is a lot of people have theories on this.
I've heard this uniform black business uh uh has roots uh in in in gang culture.
But I I I think also this this is also rooted in you don't diss me.
Uh you don't disrespect me and and and disrespect can uh uh occur with just the wrong glance.
There's a there's a hypersensitivity to it.
But it's not you know, it's it's it's not just uh uh black players who are engaging in this kind of behavior.
There's a the this uh I think it's a just general decline in class, and you can't you can't leave out the television aspect of this.
It gets you on TV, gets you on the highlight reel.
Uh there are many, many factors in it, there's no question.
And it's only gonna keep getting worse at a split.
When this stuff starts costing team games in the playoffs or the even the regular season, I would think somebody somewhere at the league level or at ownership, which enough is enough here.
Um look, we're paying you guys a lot.
You are professionals here.
This is the best you can be in football in this country.
But there's so much money flowing into it now that they may not perceive it as a problem.
And it it I don't know how many fans are like me and get disgusted by it.
I get disgusted by it because it always ends up affecting the outcome of the game.
In addition to the just the the lack of of uh class overall, all this stuff ends up affecting the outcome.
Again, teams are losing games because of this kind of behavior that they otherwise would win.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
It's open line Friday on Rush Limbaugh.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations, and it happens every day.
This is uh this is Deb in Coopersville, Minnesota.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Roger.
This is Deb that's Coopersville, Michigan.
Uh oh, Snerdley doesn't Yeah, it's gonna put MN up there.
That's Minnesota, but um Michigan's MI.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good place to be.
It's pretty cold today, though.
Good place to be.
It's pretty well, yeah.
Well, it's global warming.
Uh you only think it's cold.
Too funny.
Hey, um, we homeschool four kids, and we want to thank you for what you do and helping us um teach our kids about political science, the right side of it.
Well, you're welcome.
And um my daughters and I are heading to Washington, D.C. tonight to um go to the March for Life on Monday.
Yeah.
And we're gonna do some sight scenes, some shopping, and we were wondering what your favorite um historical site is and restaurant.
In Washington, D.C. Well, I don't have a favorite restaurant in Washington because I haven't eaten in one and I I don't go there enough.
Uh I can't remember the last restaurant I ate at in Washington.
Okay.
Wait, yes, I can.
It was nineteen ninety-two, and it was the old Abbott Grill.
Oh, that's on our list.
Someone else has um suggested that.
Yeah, it's not far from the White House.
Right.
I uh tell you why.
I had I was going uh that that was the day I went to the White House to have dinner with President Bush 41, and I had heard that he and his wife Barbara ate like birds, so I was advised to go eat a real dinner before I showed up.
And uh I went into the old Ebbett Grill with a with a friend.
As for historical sites, my God, how you're not gonna have enough time to see them all.
Um for me, uh you know, uh aside from like the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Washington Monument, of course.
You I just I go nuts over the Air and Space Museum.
Okay.
I just I that place is just fascinating to me.
And they've they've uh the recently, well, within a couple years, three years, expanded it.
It's part of the Smithsonian.
Yes.
Uh and it's a shame you can't get out to Mount Vernon, George Washington's home.
You won't you ought to make it that you would not believe what they have done to revive this place as a historical uh and educational center.
It would literally blow your mind.
Uh what else that you could do?
Um, you got the war memorials.
They've got the uh the the Vietnam and Korean and World War II memorials.
Yeah, we're taking a night tour of all those.
Yeah, well, you're doing all this stuff.

Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush Megadiddos from beautiful Southwest Florida.
Thank you, sir.
Enjoying the lovely sunshine yet again.
Yes.
And about eighty degrees while the rest of the country's in the deep freeze of global warming.
Absolutely.
Well, everybody has to be somewhere.

Screw 'em.
Hey, wanted to take you back to the uh classlessness of the NFL.
I think it comes back to uh two items in particular.
One, I don't think a lot of these guys have ever had anyone around them to say no.
And two, I think a good majority of them forget that they play a game to make a living.
You know, I hear this.
And I'm gonna say it is it's a game because it in the end of the end of the day, the future of the country doesn't depend on it, and that sort of thing.
But I'll tell you something.
You ever been in a sideline of an NFL game?
Uh NFL no, college, yes.
Well, you it's not the same.
You folks, we sit here, we talk about this from our distance as fans, but we you don't know how tough these guys are.
You and I wouldn't last two plays out there.
Some wouldn't last one.
Just the the the collision on the offensive line in a running play would would end your ability to walk.
The these guys are so tough.
So it's a game, but I mean they've got very little time to make their money.
They can they can they can end their career in an injury in a split second.
Uh it it's a game, yeah.
Uh, but it's it's this is a tough guy's game.
This is a real man's game.
And that's it it attracts real guys, and that's you know, part of the part of the culture problem here.
