Time Text
I just got a fascinating email from a subscriber at Rush Limbaugh.com.
I'm gonna I'm gonna it's pretty long.
I'm gonna paraphrase it for here in just a second.
As soon as I intro the big program here.
Hey, greetings, folks, and welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program on the EIB network, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Before I get that letter, and we also got their global warming stack coming up with a uh uh global warming update theme, one of the three that rotate.
You know, this business.
One more thing about these subpoenas that the Democrats and the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to authorize today, uh demanding.
Carl Grove and Harriet Myers come up, even if there's no criminality in any of this.
There's none.
There's nothing that they didn't get really any prosecutors that were uh conducting no evidence anyway, they did that conducting corruption probes, even the Washington Post editorial admits this today.
Do you remember the hullabaloo?
Do you remember de Brouhaha when uh uh investigators dared to go into the office, the congressional office of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, seeking evidence to back up the uh other evidence they had acquired about his uh uh in being involved in financial chicanery.
I mean, two people have already admitted bribing.
Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, uh, and Danny Hastert, uh Speaker of the House at the time, a Republican, the whole house.
You can't come up here.
Separation of powers.
You can't you can't start conducting investigation in members' offices, and everybody says, oh, you guys are allowed to use the sanctity of your offices to commit crimes?
You know, totally out of touch.
Don't tell me that didn't impact the presidential election or the uh November election either.
Well, Republicans are here's a Democrat waiting to be indicted, still hasn't been, by the way.
Where's the Justice Department on that?
But going all out of the way here to talk about you can't invade our turf.
And now here's the drive-by media, of course, uh thought that was a great move.
Yeah, this is uh the legislative branch being uh investigated by the executive branch, the Justice Department?
Why, we can't have that.
Well, this is horrible.
So, but of course now Gleahy and these guys that can demand a president send anybody up.
Um just a little parallel that I wanted to use to illustrate.
I'm gonna paraphrase this paraphrase this email I got.
Dear Rush, I'm I'm apoplectic about the Edwards press conference.
These political people are people I don't understand.
These are a different breed of people.
If my wife told me yesterday that she had cancer that had returned and it was incurable, the last thing I would be thinking about would be calling a fundraiser and a press conference.
Going to a fundraiser and calling a press conference.
The last thing in the world I would be thinking about would be that.
What is it about political people?
What is it that makes them think they have to share virtually everything like this?
And and and I and I wonder how many of you have that same attitude that this something you just don't understand.
I've I've tried to mention over the course of many, many years of service here behind the golden EIB microphone that politics and the people that are in it are they are entirely different breeding cabinet.
Run around your whole life is asking other people for money.
You know, people have said to me over the years, why don't you run for office?
I couldn't do that.
You know, aside from the pay cut, run around and asking people for money.
Uh don't give me the I wouldn't need to, because the idea is always spend somebody else's money in these things.
Uh I would I wouldn't, I I just something I couldn't do.
And I, you know, you in a situation like this, family member gets uh can't you learn that the cancers come back and it's uh treatable but incurable.
Uh go out and call a press conference and say the campaign's going to.
I just wonder how many other people like this email I got have the same uh reaction to this in terms of not being able to relate to it in terms of what they would do in uh in similar circumstances.
All right, we got big, big, big global warming news here today, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, sir, rebub.
And the news we have fits perfectly with this global warming update theme.
EIB network.
And the Rush Limbaugh program at Global Warming Update.
Paul Shanklin here with our theme song.
Here you have it.
That's uh that's Paul Shanklin as Johnny Cash.
Actually, as Al Gore and a takeoff on a ring of fire, ball of fire.
I sometimes wonder what it must be like to be Al Gore.
I I really do.
I I I have to think that his life has got to be such in denial.
The guy is out propounding one of the biggest lies in American politics ever.
And every day the lie that Al Gore's out there propagating is disproven.
Or at the very least, serious evidence emerges to challenge what he said.
How must he get up every morning and deal with the fact that he's lying?
The biggest lie ever perpetrated.
Well, I don't know about ever, but I mean one of the biggest lies perpetrated in American politics, and this guy's the lead salesman.
This guy's leading the charge.
What must it be like to be Al Gore each and every when he shows up, the temperature plummets, snowstorms happen?
Here's the story.
X-ray images taken from a new international spacecraft show that the sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent than scientists knew.
NASA reported this yesterday.
I wonder if there's a consensus on this issue yet.
Now this is loaded.
This opening paragraph is loaded first off the vanity.
I thought we knew everything about the sun.
I thought there was everything to know that was known, and that we knew it.
Now these X-ray images show that the Sun's magnetic field much more turbulent than scientists knew.
Why scientists are learning things every day?
But guess what?
Global warming is unassailable as a concept.
They saw twisting plumes of gas rising from the sun's corona and reacting with the star's magnetic field, the sun's own magnetic field, a process that releases energy and may power solar storms and coronal mass ejections, which in turn affect the Earth.
A turbulent magnetic field would in theory generate more energy than a steady state field.
Theorists suggested that twisted tangled magnetic field might exist.
The X-ray telescope, we can see them clearly for the first time, and the story has images from the telescope.
For the first time, we are now able to make out tiny granules of hot gas that rise and fall in the sun's magnetized atmosphere, said Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics division.
New realm of understanding, has it really?
Al Gore said yesterday that the science was all settled.
Scientists all settled.
New realm of understanding.
Yep, these images will open a new era of study on some of the sun's processes that affect Earth, astronauts orbiting satellites.
And the solar system, which means all those distant planets out there as well.
Now, might this new discovery of these multiple magnetic fields have any effect on temperature here?
Might it have any effect on global warming whatsoever?
Since the sun is the could we say not just primary, the sun is the source of all energy on the planet?
It is.
You let that baby go out, folks, and it's all over.
And the idea that it is excluded totally from all of these global warming uh uh crises is uh indication itself uh that that that this is bogus.
Uh scientists hope the observations can help explain and perhaps predict space weather, the ejections from the sun that can disable satellites, knock out electricity grids on Earth, and cause the spectacular auroras in extreme northern and southern skies.
Uh now this is a Reuters story, and the uh version of this that's on uh newscientists.com has an intriguing headline, dazzling new images reveal the impossible On the sun.
Well, who the hell are we to say what's possible and impossible on the sun?
There's nobody from here that's ever been there.
There's nobody from here that's ever been close enough to get any kind of idea what's possible and not possible on the sun.
How many people have the IQ?
Even the most learned among us, how many have the IQ to understand the physics and the concept of a star like Earth, which is a tiny one, lasting billions of billions and billions of years.
How many of us have the IQ to understand the energy required for that and where the hell does it come from and how does it last?
Because you know the sun does not pull into a gas station.
Who the hell do we think we are?
What kind of vanity do we have?
That we would dare admit that there are things on the sun that are impossible.
It's like telling God that things are impossible.
At any rate.
Here you've got Gore, the leading snake oil salesman of one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the planet.
What must it be like to be this guy every day?
Now, yesterday at the Senate hearing that they had on this, Al Gore refused to take the personal energy ethics pledge.
And it was offered to him by Senator Inhoff.
Senator Inhoff showed Gore a film frame from An Inconvenient Truth where it asks viewers, are you ready to change the way you live?
Gore has uh been criticized for excessive home energy usage at his residence in Tennessee.
Uh and it's been reported that many of these so-called carbon offset projects would have been done anyway, whether he got involved in it or not.
And he was asked, are you willing to make a commitment here today by taking this pledge to consume no more energy for use in your residence than the average American household uh by one year from today?
Senator Inhoff then presented because Gore's telling everybody else we got a downsize.
We have to reduce our carbon footprint.
We gotta do all this.
They asked Gore, would you do it?
Here's the pledge.
As a believer that human-cause global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival, as a believer that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use, as a believer that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions, And as a believer that leaders on moral issues should lead by example, I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my home than the average American household by March 21, 2008.
Gore refused to take the pledge.
Now I understand he's not going to take a pledge offered by a Republican senator up there, and the Senator probably just made up the pledge, but I mean we get these pledges from the left all the time.
Gore wouldn't take it.
Gore would not.
He just in essence, Al Gore was saying, I'm not going to change my life.
That's up to you, plebes to do.
I'm the leading snake oil salesman of this hoax, and that's what gives me my power.
And I need to use as much power and energy as I can to maintain my power.
That's what carbon offsets are about.
We'll be back in just a second.
All right.
Everybody concerned I'm getting back late in these breaks.
Let's just say it's an active eye chat day.
It's an active.
I got everybody that I know.
Well, not everybody, but sending me these instant messages.
I want to go back to the audio sound bites uh because I've uh getting more emails now from people who uh are expressing some incredulity that the the first uh uh instinct of politicians when they personal crisis hits their family is to go public and do a press conference about it.
Uh and I've got a couple phone calls about that.
I want to show you that it isn't new, folks.
Uh these people are, as the emailer said to me a moment ago, they're different, they're different breed.
Uh they're politics is its own unique business, just like most businesses are.
Let's go back and listen to Howard Feynman.
This is Howard Feynman basically reacting to the uh the John Edwards Elizabeth Edwards press conference, and you'll hear here that he's analyzing this as a political event.
Purely and simply.
Listen to this.
I think this is somewhat of a surprise.
I think there were some websites here in Washington that were predicting that he would suspend or even drop out.
That turned out not to be the case.
This is an ongoing story, and this is a metaphor For how they want to fight for the country.
They're willing to take the public relations risk of analogizing their own family situation and the bravery that they've shown and the guts that they've shown to the kind of leadership that they want to offer the country.
That's pretty bold, but that's the world that we live in now, Chris, where people's personal lives uh are analogized to their political beings.
And that's the thing.
I thought that was looked at politically, diagnosed, if you will, politically.
That was a 10 strike of a press conference.
They showed guts.
Was nothing short of remarkable and somewhat unexpected, and it's always great when uh something unexpected happens around here.
Who does this?
The drive-by media is doing these analogies, taking these events and turning them into political.
Howard Feynman here just raiding the press conference a 10 strike.
As a political 10 strike.
We're talking about a man and his wife and and her incurable cancer.
And the press conference is re is reviewed in the context of was it any good politically?
And it was determined here that it was.
It was a 10 strike.
And this is not the first time.
Every time we get a new batch troop deaths in Iraq, what's the analysis?
Well, this hurts the Bush administration.
We get any stories of the valor of American military personnel in Iraq or the war on terror in Afghanistan.
No.
Every time there's death news, all we get, it's it's gotta hurt the Bush administration.
Why?
How are they going to be able to survive this?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then let's go back.
December 14th, 2006.
You remember when uh Tim Johnson, the senator from Democrat from uh uh South Dakota Democrat, had a brain hemorrhage.
Uh we've got a montage here of a whole bunch of drive-by media types.
And here's a man that's just had a brain hemorrhage, and people who know know how serious those are.
And the comeback from one of these is it's it's and he's yeah, he's out of the con.
I mean, he's out of Washington, he's back in South Dakota now in uh what they're calling rehab, but nobody's seen him, nobody's seen a picture of him.
Um there is one one picture in a wheelchair and there's one picture in a wheelchair.
Well, anyway, that's that's good.
But but the point is, listen to this little uh uh bite here.
Senator Tim Johnson has suffered a stroke.
The Democrats' control of the Senate could be imperil.
It could have enormous political implications.
If Senator Johnson were forced to leave the Senate, his replacement would be picked by the governor as a Republican.
That would mean that it would go back to 50-50, Republicans would control the Senate.
So the narrow control that the Democrats have the Senate would disappear.
Big change may be coming in the balance of power on Capitol Hill.
Senator Tim Johnson may have had a stroke.
What might this mean for the new Senate?
His condition could really determine control of the Senate.
A member of the U.S. Senate has suffered a stroke with control of the U.S. Senate decided by a single vote for the Democrats, this could affect the balance of power.
You get the idea.
A Democrat Senator just had a stroke.
Oh no, what's the main concern?
Oh no, can the Democrats hold the control of the Senate?
Oh no, we're in trouble.
So don't think that this reaction that Howard Feynman had or others are had to the Edwards press conference unique within the uh context of drive-by media.
They're the ones doing all this political analyzing and personal suffering.
Uh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have here on the EIB network.
And by the way, for those of you that I continue to get emails from people that say that they're just a little they just don't understand.
They can't relate to political people.
It would take a personal crisis like this and and and turn it into a political thing.
Folks, it's not that new.
You remember when Al Gore what was this?
Uh the 2000 presidential campaign and his uh, you know, he had a sister who died from lung cancer, and he he took out after big tobacco during the campaign.
We had we had uh uh John Kerry saying that uh Christopher Reeve would walk again if he were elected president at stem cell research.
Uh it really isn't new.
This is this is this is just what uh it's what politics is.
I want to change direction.
I had a lot of stuff in a stack of stuff we didn't get to uh yet, and that's because there is no program in America, no long-form radio program that deals with breaking news any better than this one.
I mean, I can give you an example.
They got mounds of stacks of stuff here.
Stuff that we work diligently on overnight all morning long, preparing this show.
Then this Edwards things happen, things happen uh in the uh political thing, all it we go wall to wall with current news, the global warming stuff and so forth, because we are always prepared here.
But that means there's other stuff of the stack that we haven't gotten to.
Such as this.
A uh 20 20-year-old man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer.
Uh the sentence also requires Brian James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minnesota.
The state believes that uh uh that particular place is the best to provide treatment for this sad individual, according to assistant D.A. Jim Bogner.
Uh Brian James Hathaway's probation will be served at the same time as a nine-month jail sentence he received in February for violating his extended supervision.
He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal.
After he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it.
Somehow somebody got there in the nick of time.
So apparently he was unrequited and then made the move on the deer.
Uh he was sentenced to 18 months in jail, two years of extended supervision on that charge, as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent, which means he stole it.
Uh Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month, the misdemeanor mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer.
Uh he was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County Circuit Court.
The judge, Michael Lucci said, this type of behavior is disturbing.
It's disturbing to the public, it's disturbing to the court.
Really?
Everybody?
State of Washington, remember this uh Eckham Claw, is that where it was?
Guy out there, the buddy snuck into the horse barn.
But at least the hor that horse was alive.
I mean, in this case, the horse was dead, the deer was dead.
Uh yeah, they well, uh no, we don't know that the horse in uh Ekham Claw Washington consented.
What the law out there says that uh it's not a crime to have sex with a horse if uh if unless you can prove the horse didn't enjoy it.
I'm not making that up.
I don't know how you uh ask.
Uh you know, we on this program, we we've been on the cutting edge of so many things.
The uglo American, for example, and the plight that they face.
Um banning the ugly from the streets in daytime to ensure economic recoveries.
We we took the lead on this way, way back in the late 80s.
But now look at this.
Good looks could help guilty defendants dodge justice.
Researchers uh say ugly defendants are more likely to be found guilty than attractive ones.
Uh they reported that in an experiment, jurors were more likely to convict suspects deemed ugly than those seen as attractive.
It is thought that the principle applies elsewhere in life, with beauty being associated with kindness, intelligence, and sporting ability.
That had anything to do with it.
Attractive defendants are, it seems rated less harshly than ugly defendants, so perhaps justice isn't blind after all.
People who are physically attractive assumed to be clever, successful, and have more friends.
It's tragic in a way.
It's interesting that being an unattractive defendant only had an impact on sentencing and not a juror's verdict or guilt, Dr. Taylor told the British Psychological Society's annual conference in New York.
However, it's a positive finding that neither black nor white participants showed a bias toward their own ethnic group when looking at ugly members of both ethnic groups.
Um interesting.
Of course, you know, this it's always every time you get one of these ugly stories, there's a very logical question.
Who decides who's ugly or not?
And I've always said that that's it's a valid question, but the answer is simply ugly know who they are.
I mean, they have to look in the mirror too.
And uh so this this ought to help them out now as they start preparing their defenses.
Because they say to a lawyer, look, I'm already you saw that report.
We're in trouble here because I'm ugly, and you're gonna have to find a way to overcome this, and it can't totally be overcome with wardrobe.
We've got to do by the way, this notion that uh uh ugly people, beauty is associated with kindness, intelligence and sporting, that's not that's that's that's that's not what I mean it may be, but that's not that's not the allure of beauty.
In fact, most guys look beautiful women's probably an idiot.
Uh well, not an idiot, but you know, dunce because they haven't had to use anything but their looks to grab attention.
This is not a put down.
I'm talking about guys, I'm not making a judgment of women, I'll tell you what guys think.
It may be born of experience.
I wouldn't know.
Uh Shep in uh Los Salivos, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey hero.
Cigar smoking, rush babe on board, ditto head, California teacher and nurse.
Well, it's that's great to have you with us.
That's you're you're all you're you're all you're all effervest here with us.
Well, I want to take a huge experiential issue with Howard Feynman.
What he said about the uh Edwards being brave and hitting a ten strike, I can tell you as a nurse who has taken care of cancer victims that that is a very selfish, selfish stand for the Edwards to take, especially regarding their children.
Um how so?
Well, on a daily basis, I have seen what cancer victims have to go through.
It's extremely emotionally hard on young children, and their children are the ages of six and eight.
At that age, children's biggest fear is that they're going to lose one of their parents.
So they live in constant fear of losing that parent.
Oh, come on, is it constant?
Absolutely.
I ha I took in a friend for two years here who had an eight-year-old girl, and I saw on an hour by hour basis what these kids have to go through.
Wait, wait a minute, you're talking about a parent with cancer or just a healthy parent here?
No, no, a cancer a parent with cancer.
Okay, but but I mean you're you're telling me that six to eight year old kids run around all day with healthy parents overcome with fear they're gonna lose them?
No well, yeah, I mean No, it can't be that can't now kids don't think of death.
They don't they don't think Oh Rush, listen, I wrote for a year or for a couple of years for a publishing company and we did research for first graders, which is what around the age of these children and their number one fear is a fra fear of losing the parent.
Well now, I I can understand that in emotional thing.
I'm just disputing that it dominates their days.
I I mean I most you know, w a lot of kids when they get older than six or eight and they start learning, I mean, intellectually comprehending that it's their parents who make it possible for them to live inside and have whatever it is they need or want, naturally gonna oh my god, what if something happened to mom or dad?
I can understand but six or eight uh to uh i i when they've got healthy parents, I'm sure that crosses their mind, but you're saying their lives it's a number one fear, and of course fear is something that's with a lot of people a lot of time.
Well, yes, if you live daily on a daily basis, like your earlier caller uh called in from Bakersfield about his child, it it's it consumes when you have a terminally ill or a especially cancer patient, it consumes because you see the children are very visual.
Okay, now that w when you when you when you tell the six or eighty year old that a parent has an incurable disease, then I can understand the fear being a constant thing.
No, no, but they see they see the parent not have energy to take care of them.
They see the parent getting thinner, they see the parent have to go for hospital stays, they see the parent throwing up after radiation and after chemotherapy, and and this is a very it shakes their little world.
Their little world is not normal any world, and they don't understand it, and they're very fearful.
It it's really and Are you saying that a six or eight-year-old is not c possible of seeing what uh like parents like the Edwards are gonna continue their work.
That they're not gonna look at that as courageous and learn from it.
Okay, let me let me just say this.
I've also been in counseling situations with adults who when they went back were cut off in some way from from experiencing or going through this with the parent.
My my concern for the children is that if she is terminal and if God does not heal her or medicine heal her, are they gonna go up saying my mom uh took off campaigning instead of spending her last time with me?
And what kind of a model is that giving women in America you know what?
I think if you want to know what I think, I think that they absolutely wrote off a whole bunch of women in that announcement today.
Women who've had cancer, women who um have taken care of cancer patients like your man calling from uh Bakersfield.
Uh powerful statement you're making here.
Well, I couldn't make it, Rush, if I weren't both a teacher who've spent most of my life working with kids and having kids in my classes who have So you think you think based on your experiences.
Right.
That that that uh the kids here should be the priority.
Absolutely, Rush.
I mean, you know what?
I hear you talking so many times about your mom and dad, and what a a safe harbor they provided for you.
And how that is deteriorating in our country becomes Yeah, well that's true.
They they uh and I've mentioned this.
They uh uh the well once my brother and I were born, their lives our lives became theirs essentially.
Exactly.
And I I can tell you professional women that I know that gave up their careers to stay home, and their kids today are such great adult models be and they say, you know, it was because my mom was always there.
My dad had to travel a lot, da da da.
But for her to say that she's gonna keep campaigning, I mean, Rush, her treatment is gonna be so debilitating that for her to I don't know if she's lying.
Uh you know, I I can't figure them out.
It is totally political.
That's all I I have uh to be honest with you, and I haven't read these, but they're I've had a chance to check the email stack here, and there's some emails and people who are expressing sil similar sentiments uh uh to yours, uh such as uh uh one of them I remember the top of my head,
uh uh a woman whose husband got cancer, uh and and he decided once he got cancer that uh the the the rest of his life was gonna be spent totally with the family because he wasn't gonna be able to have memories of his daughter getting married or walking down the aisle of his son graduating from high school, and he wanted to cram as many memories and as much time with his kids as he could, given that I think in this case he had three months as was the uh was the diagnosis.
So there's some people out there have the same reaction that you do.
I'm glad you called out there, Shep.
I gotta go because of the constraints of time.
We'll be back and continue right after this.
Back we are.
People have been patiently waiting.
Let's just stick with the phones here.
Fred in Lake Wales, Florida.
You are next, sir.
Appreciate your patience.
Thank you, Rush.
Uh just got a question for you to expound on.
If Congress, the Democratic controlled Congress, is so hot to process a crime that has not been committed by trying to solicit perjury.
Why don't they go ahead and pro uh prosecute the one that has been committed by Valerie Plain, who has now been caught lying to the U.S. Senate, as revealed by her recent House testimony.
This is an ex interesting question.
Uh and and the first answer that I would offer you is that it's Democrats that run the committees of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Christopher Bond is a member, Senator from Missouri.
He said, you know, we never heard anything about this this uh junior underling phone call from Cheney's office and somebody else walking by suggesting Valerie Plame's husband.
There's there's a letter, Christopher Hitchens has mentioned that there there's a letter you can get that shows that Valerie Plame authorized uh or uh or suggested her husband to go on that trip to Niger.
It's up to Democrats to do this.
They run the House and the Senate, and uh I don't think there's gonna be any interest on the part of Democrats to uh process Valerie Klaim or put her through any kind of a perjury claim.
You never know.
I uh Justice Department's not gonna do anything, so uh it's just that's partisan politics, it's the way it is.
You have somebody who has committed, you know, told two different stories before two different committees and nothing's done, and then you got eight people haven't done anything wrong and rove and not lie to p and they're some you're gonna be subpoenaed uh for the purposes of uh trying to trick them into perjury, no question.
Uh Tom in Chicago, thank you for waiting, sir.
You're next in the EIB network.
Hi, Rush, thanks for having me.
Yes.
Did you ever see the movie The An American President?
Is that the one with Michael Douglas, his single single guy in the White House?
Yes, it is.
Yeah, I saw it, but I don't remember.
I just he's uh Annette Bennings in it and uh works for him, and they have uh little uh fair up there in the private quarters and so forth.
Uh I don't remember much about it.
Right, and there's the Richard Dreyfus character who's the Dick Taney slash Ken Starr character, the evil Republican.
And there uh the reason the president was elected is largely suspected because his wife had died of cancer during the campaign, and it's uh I think it's probably required watching for the do anyone in the DNC.
Well, you know, the Democrats think the West Wing was the administration, and they they do take a lot of their identities from these movies.
Yeah, I've forgotten that element of it.
Yeah, and it's it's i I mean, this is right out of the playbook.
It just seems to me that uh and I'm not trying to make light of the situation, but it seems to me Edwards probably envisions himself in that character and and uh no.
I that's it's tough to speculate on uh on that.
Uh uh but I'm uh I'm I'm just have to tell you, you know, Tom, I I appreciate the call.
You uh this is uh I I I have to tell you that I am I am I got a lot of emails from people who are expressing this kind of uh incredulity over the political nature of something that is such a profound personal crisis.
I let me just put it that way.
They are stunned at it.
Um like our caller Shepp uh from uh from Southern uh California.
Hillary in Santa Barbara, I've got forty-five seconds, but I wanted to get to you.
Are you there?
I am.
It's such an honor.
I just love you.
I think I love you for fifteen years now.
And I wanted to I was talking to Bo Snardling just a few minutes, and uh told him that I thought your interview yesterday with uh the governor was wonderful.
You were professional, and not uh you know, you weren't Twitter painted like so many people are who interview him.
And I thought you asked some very good questions and you were straightforward, and I just wanted to thank you.
Well, thank you.
You know, it's it's always the women that come to my defense.
It's the guys that accuse me of being a wuss in a sellout.
I appreciate I appreciate thank you so much.
I appreciate your noticing.
You're welcome.
All right, Hillary, have a have a nice uh have a nice day.
A nice weekend if I don't talk to you tomorrow.
Quick time out, we'll be back after this.
Well, I knew it would happen.
All this talk of me being in trouble has subsided.
Was never in trouble in the first place.
Sometime I get I'm surrounded by panic oriented people.
Anyway, have a great Thursday, folks.
Open line Friday tomorrow.
Can't wait.
Gonna have to be hot.
