Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 247 podcast.
Oh, I just saw something.
I'm watching.
I got the uh Fox News channel on here, and I got PMS NBC.
PMS NBC is actually running a countdown to this debate tonight.
The countdown to the debate.
Democrats, not gonna be a debate.
It's a Democrat sponsored press conference.
Anyway, hi folks, nice to have you with us, uh, Rush Limbaugh, and another three hours of broadcast excellence, another busy, busy broadcast day, as I am firmly and happily ensconced behind this, the golden EIB microphone.
We are from high atop, the EIB building in Midtown Manhattan today.
Uh we'll be back in uh Florida, the EIB Southern Command tomorrow.
I saw in Fox this little crawl crying in the works uh workplace is no longer a site of weakness.
Where did he get these stories?
Some psychiatrist has uh, I guess written something somewhere.
It's okay to cry in the workplace no longer a sign of weakness.
Also, I gotta play you this audio sound bite.
I don't know where Cookie comes up with this stuff.
I don't know how in the world we found a sound bite from WJAR TV in uh Providence, Rhode Island.
But she found I don't know what how in the world.
I mean, I know we got we've got satellite dishes and all kinds of stuff, uh, record stuff.
Why how in the world we would get this?
It's irrelevant because we have it.
Uh it's an NBC affiliate.
Uh, and the uh the Sunrise News anchor Frank Coletta reported this.
Rush Limbaugh's latest dust up.
The conservative talk king has been playing a song called Barack the Magic Negro.
And now some critics say he should be fired just like Imus.
Lindbaugh staff says he's been using the song parody for months, and that the title is a direct quote from the Reverend Al Sharpton, that the uproar is unwarranted.
It's not a direct quote from the Reverend Sharpton.
We have been playing it for months, maybe weeks, might be a month or a month and a half.
Look it, folks.
Here it is, March 19th.
I'm holding in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, Obama the Magic Negro.
The Illinois Senator lends himself to white America's idealized less than real black man.
This is a third piece of the LA Time that dealt with Obama not being black enough.
It's the left that's the racists, it's the left that looks at people's skin color and doesn't see it for what it should be or what it is.
I mean, they notice it.
They're the ones that are racist out there, and the guy that wrote this is a black man, his name is David Ahrenstein.
He writes about Hollywood and politics, says here.
And the whole point of his piece here is that what is this Obama guy?
He'd been around for two years in the Senate.
What nobody can possibly know him well enough to be giving him all this idolatry.
So he's the magic Negro.
He fits white racists' need to assuage their guilt.
So we see stuff like this.
It's a gold mine.
Now, HR, did you talk to anybody here from uh WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, ever.
Never have, and so you couldn't have told them that uh this is a direct quote from the Reverend Sharpton.
No, they didn't quote you, but uh they I think you know they listen to the parody.
It's classic.
They didn't hear it on the program.
They don't hear the the days or hours uh or even the the minutes of that particular show setting this up.
They're like all these other lib people in the media.
They sit out there and they go to other places to find out what happens on this show and others.
They hear the song front to back without knowing anything about it.
Oh my god, my they're even ripping Paul Shanklin now.
He's a white comedian.
Oh, yeah, Paul Shanklin who does here.
You got the song here, let's listen to if these people think if you if you think, if you people in the media think that that this is gonna lead to anything other than my getting even bigger and more popular, you have got another thing coming.
Just to give you a little taste of it, and listen to the lyrics, if any lib media people here.
Because the lyrics explain the whole bit.
Explain the whole tune.
Stop the tape a minute here.
By the way, one of the most instop the tape.
Well, I'm one of the things I'm reading is that this is a lousy Sharpton impersonation.
This is a fabulous Sharpton impersonation, and it's it's through the bullhorn.
I'll tell you, it's one thing to deal with the liberalism of the drive-by's, but their stupidity is what's really frustrating.
He can't even stick with the lyric line in a song.
He starts protesting, and the chorus there keeps singing the song.
They stay they follow the music.
Anyway, now here's what we're gonna do on this.
We're gonna play this again sometime today.
I don't know when.
We've been playing it since March 21st.
Uh for who is this guy?
Uh uh, what's his name?
Uh uh uh Frank Coletta.
No, Frank Coletta from the Powerhouse WJAR TV, uh, NBC affiliate Providence, uh, Rhode Island.
Uh uh we're may play it again here.
We've been playing it since March 21st, not months.
Uh, just barely over a month, obviously.
We've look at the calendar count backwards, you can find just a little over 30 days here.
This is the what is this?
This is 26, and then we do 25.
Yeah, so it's 35 days.
We're gonna play it again.
Uh, perhaps uh later on in the program today.
I'm gonna dedicate this song to the drive-by media, and we're gonna dedicate it to Reverend Sharpton.
Uh, but we're gonna do this.
We're gonna give a countdown.
We're not gonna spring it on you.
We're gonna give a countdown so all of you drive-by journalists, uh, drive-by media types can get your recorders ready so that you can actually have a first-hand piece of evidence of the crime here.
We'll do this as a service to you.
You want a gun for me, I'm gonna make it easy for you to come at me, and you can do it by actually listening to this program.
I know you got your big Democrat press conference tonight, and you're all focused on that, but we'll we want to help here.
We want the drive-by media to be able to do their job.
By the have you seen the story in the Financial Times that the carbon offset program is nothing but a fraud.
Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on carbon credit projects that yield few, if any, environmental benefits.
The Financial Times investigation has uncovered a widespread failing or numerous widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organizations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.
It's sort of like they're out there collecting money for a new church that's never gonna get built.
Because global warming is a religion.
I called yesterday for the separation of earth and state.
And we need it, we need to well, we did.
It's it is a religion.
Now, what I was thinking, what is something comparable to this?
You've got all these true believers, and they're doing it because, like everybody in uh uh in every other religion, they're looking for immortality.
They're looking for uh long life.
And of course, in in the global warming religion, it is the earth that provides that, and of course, if we're destroying the earth, then we're all gonna die.
So, carbon offsets come along, gigantic fraud, and I was thinking in in uh other religions, if this kind of fraud took place, A, what would it be?
And B, what would people say about it?
And I I remembered something when I lived in Kansas City.
And that would have been from 19 uh 75 to 83.
And I don't remember the specific year, but they had a religious TV station there.
And it was right after I got cable.
Cable was new, then it was exciting.
My head, though, so this has to be after 80.
So I'm channel surfing around, I'm watching all this, and I didn't have a rooftop antenna, so I didn't watch things like Channel 50.
And there was this guy on there, and I don't remember his name, and he was talking about revelation.
And he was going on and on about the last days, and he was asking his audience if they had contributed to his program.
And he set a globe on fire.
This guy got a globe of the earth, and he poured something on it to make it burn.
He lighted it, and the globe starts burning as as he's reading from relevant passages from revelations.
And I just can see, you know, seasoned citizens and the elderly watching this, oh no, just writing checks so fast, sending it into this guy so that they would be saved because the end times were well.
This is exactly what this is.
The carbon offsets are nothing more than that kind of of trick or fraud to play on the emotions.
It's amazing the story came out.
It's only in the Financial Times.
Drudge has it up, it's linked there, but I don't know if we'll see this anywhere in the drive-by media.
I have my doubts.
We'll be back.
We will continue after this.
You know, we're gonna go one better.
We're not just gonna play Barack the Magic Negro again with a countdown, uh, alerting drive-by media types that it's coming.
We're gonna put the lyrics to the song at Rushlimbaugh.com so they don't have to guess.
They don't even have to listen to it.
They just go to my website, look at the lyrics, and then we'll post it next to Mr. Erin Stein's piece from the uh LA Times.
And you know what?
You're still gonna get calls from people who will not have done any of that.
All they'll why, why?
He is so insensitive.
Why, after that recent dust up of the Rutgers players, why?
When's he gonna resign?
Speaking of that, I am going to suggest here that Mr. uh Frank Coletta, the Powerhouse NBC affiliate in uh Providence, Rhode Island resign.
Uh WJAR.
Uh I'll tell you why he did this.
Frank Coletta, who anchors uh the news there, Channel 10 New Sunrise News and at noon, been there since 1978.
He was um, he was a 2001 Columbus Day Grand Marshal.
The parade.
Well, we all know about Columbus.
I mean, you celebrate the evil Columbus.
He brought racism, bigotry, homophobia, smallpox.
I mean, you can trace the beginnings of Halliburton to Columbus's arrival.
He brought syphilis, uh, uh, introduced horses, which, I mean, that messed everything up.
Wage inequity, uh uh, yeah, I mean, environmental destruction.
Columbus brought it all, polluted what was a pristine uh uh continent, uh uh uh North America.
Uh the Indians and Native Americans were at one with nature.
No longer.
Where are they now?
Uh they're running gambling casinos.
And so Mr. Frank Coletta actually took part in a parade that honored this evil man, Christopher Columbus.
Uh of course we can never look into the into the backgrounds of of drive-by media people and uh anchors and this kind of thing.
But we did.
Did a quick little check here.
Uh I'm guessing, maybe I'm probably gonna exhibit some prejudice here, but I'm I see his name, Colette.
I'm assuming he's also Italian.
Uh and and that's you know Sopranos, I mean, we all know.
Well, uh by the way, speaking of carbon footprints, I have here the latest of the uh issue of the uh Limbaugh Letter as the publisher, the owner, editor, and all that.
This is the May issue.
I get my copy before you.
And right there on page 13, we do a whole story on the fraudulent nature of uh these carbon offsets and these uh carbon footprints.
We got a great interview with Bob Tyrrell, by the way, of the American Spectator about his latest book, The Clinton Crack Up, and it's it's it's uh he's got a really ingenious theory that the Hillary and Obama, well, whatever, the Hillary Obama primary race really pitched the 60s radicals, the baby boomer 60s radicals against younger people who are tired of that generation, the 60s baby boomers and want to move on.
If Hillary wins the nomination, 80% chance he's got it won.
Then it'll be Hillary against the conservative 60s baby boomers, as typified by uh whoever it'll be Fred Thompson McCain, Rudy, Mitt Romney, or what have you.
And we got a picture of Bob, Bob sent his picture in it.
He wanted to be published here, drinking them three olive martini.
Only thing missing is the uh is the cigar.
Uh so we'll we'll post this this Financial Times story uh along with uh well, just it's in the newsletter as well.
Now we'll post it at Rush Limbaugh.com so you can read all of the uh details.
Try this story.
This is this is from um Wall Streetjournal.com.
It's uh it's a blog story.
And scientists try to halt global warming by controlling the weather.
I kid you not, frustrated with the limits of public policy to tackle global warming.
Some scientists say that the time has come to engineer a way to control the weather.
The idea might seem appealing, says a science scholar, but it could have potentially harmful ramifications.
Climate engineering's become a popular topic among a group of what who are they kidding?
Did you see that the Chinese, you know, the Olympics are in Peking, Beijing, uh, wherever in 2008, and they've looked at historical weather patterns, and there's a 50% chance of rain on the day they have the opening ceremonies, the day they have the closing ceremonies.
So the Chinese say, no problem.
We're gonna cause rain two weeks before the Olympics.
We're gonna do cloud seeding up there, and we're gonna force downpours.
It'll clear the air of all the smog and all the pollution, and it'll get rid of the rain before it happens naturally.
Well, have you ever done this?
Well, no, we've been working on it for 30 years, but we're close.
Cloud seeding before the Olympic.
Now these idiots think that they can control global warming by controlling the weather.
We need to get Roy Spencer back on the phone down in Alabama because his theory is that it's precipitation that has more to do with the climate of the planet, nobody studying that, because you can't, we don't even know how much it rains total on any one day on the whole planet.
We don't have the ability to measure it.
And uh now these people think that they can control the weather and affect global warming.
This the sh folks, do you understand the sheer audacity of this?
It should leave you speechless.
It can't leave me speechless because then there would be no show.
But it should leave you speechless.
You might say they're giving up Russia.
This is a good sign.
No, no, no, not giving up any.
It fits their template.
Control, control, control, control, control the scientists working with with the earth are God.
No one else is God.
Restaurants are going to drop prices for women.
This uh to reflect uh wage disparity.
At least five restaurants, where's this from?
Uh but it's let me read it and I might find out.
Uh, it's an AP story.
At least five restaurants uh here, not identified, say that they will drop prices for women patrons by 23% Tuesday.
So this this was uh earlier this week.
I brought this up with me from Florida, so it's stuff I didn't get to before I left, to reflect a conclusion that American women on average earn that much less, 23% less than men.
I was in the corporate world before we moved to Baker City.
Oh, so we're talking about Baker City, said Brandy Ulray, who with her husband Jake owns the Baker City Cafe.
I understand how it is to earn a smaller paycheck than a man.
The cafe will be joined by the main event, Little Pig, Chameleon and the LJ Delhi.
Uh, the event sponsor, the American Association of American Women.
Is there an American association of French women?
Says that 20% of the year will have passed, and that's how many extra days women have to work.
I'm still trying to find out where this is, because it could have well, it doesn't say.
We're just supposed to know where Baker City is.
Any wild guesses?
You ever heard of Baker City?
I have no clue.
The uh Algor, you know where it is?
Well.
Well, it's yeah, yeah, it's like free drinks for ladies outlawed debt.
Well, maybe they've got uh uh uh well, if they did, that's a perfect time to bring it back.
I think that was one of those happy hour things, you know.
That everybody knew what that was all about.
That's why they outlawed that.
That that was you know how men are.
Quick timeout, folks, be back.
Don't go away.
A man, living legend in a way of life.
By the way, it's Baker's City, Oregon, and that fits.
Uh, where last Tuesday they reduced prices at five restaurants by 23% for the women.
Yeah, if you want to sell more, reduce prices by 23% for everybody.
But we're not here to teach them economics in Oregon.
They're not ever going to learn it.
800-282-2882, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
You know, the liberals just don't want to discuss economy anymore.
Look at this.
In addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average racing past 13,000 yesterday, the number of laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits fell last week by the sharpest amount in nearly two months, indicating the labor market remains healthy despite the sluggish economy.
And then there's this.
One day individual tax haul at record high in America.
U.S. tax receipts that individual from individuals hit a record one-day high on April 24th, the number 48.7 billion dollars.
A Treasury Department official said uh yesterday, the previous record was 36.4 billion dollars, said April 25th of 2006.
Neither of these years, by the way, occurred during the Clinton presidency.
For those of you in Rio Linda, 2006, 2005, or just last year.
And well, this year and last year.
The record reflects taxes not withheld.
You you you those of you who have uh pay stuff all those FICA deductions and federals.
You're not talking about you because yours are collected during the course of the year, but people like me who file quarterly estimates.
Because we happen to be self-employed sole proprietor entrepreneurs you name it, it is those payments we were we are our our first quarter 2007 estimate was due on April 17th.
And so you got to be postmarked by April 17th, or you have a you know a fine and a penalty and they come after you.
So people postmark their their their first quarter estimated payments on the 17th.
Some of this might also be what was owed on April 15th for 2006, and it was that money that equals the 48.7 billion.
Now, listen to how uh chief economist that writes an ICAP in Jersey City, New Jersey characterizes his name is Luke Crandall.
He said, Well, this reflects the fact that Americans in high income brackets at a very good year in 2006.
So they don't want to talk about the economy.
This is it's not it's not everybody is not in a high income bracket that is paying quarterly estimates.
There are all kinds of sole proprietorships, small businesses that don't that don't file on a 1040.
Uh the the the this it's not just the wealthy doing this.
What it means is the economy is going through the roof.
What it means is that there are a lot of people working.
What it means is we've cut tax rates, particularly, and there's a lot of there's a lot of dividend and and uh uh profit taxes here from uh people's investment portfolios.
That's because we've lowered the capital gains rate for crying out.
People are more willing to report profits when it's 15% than when it's 35 or 40.
Duh.
So it has to be characterized.
Well, uh, people at the top, yeah, man, they're really uh really do.
I don't deny some are in that category that contributed to this money, but it's not, it's not just wealthy taxpayers.
At any rate, so we've got unemployment claims now.
We got Dow Jones Industrial Average raced past 13,000.
We got a record one-day tax receipt day in America.
And listen to this montage.
We have Katie Kurick, uh, somebody from CBS named Dave Mason, Charlie Gibson at ABC, Melissa Stark at ABC, and Brian Williams all reporting on the Dow.
Even as investors are making money in the market, Anthony Mason reports there are concerns tonight about the rest of the U.S. economy.
Wall Street and Main Street appear to be headed in different directions.
Well, the stock market's been racing ahead.
The economy's been slowing down.
The Dow Jones Stock Index went over 13,000 for the first time ever, despite less than inspiring news on the economy overall.
We've had four years of a straight bull market.
Doesn't just the timing of this suggest that there might be a correction.
By historical standards, Charlie, we're actually overdue for a correction.
For people watching this tonight, maybe some people who don't have anything in the market, they hear it reported as good news.
How is it good news for them?
I want to ask you a question Brian, Brian, we love you here, and you know we respect you.
But you're not that naive.
How is it good news for them?
So I'm just gonna tell you if if Bill Clinton or John Kerry or Al Gore were in the White House, you wouldn't hear a report like that.
You wouldn't see one.
It'd be trumpeting this, all these records being set, and the taxes that the rich are paying would be sell held out as punitive, and the people who are being asked in this report, well, what's in it for you?
They would be told you ought to feel good because we're soaking your enemy.
We're soaking the rich.
They just they have no desire to talk about the economy.
Uh when it's good, particularly coming up at a presidential year with uh, you know, the the Republican in the White House now, they don't want to do it.
By the way, Cookie tells me we might have to issue a correction here to Frank.
Frank, what's his name?
Coletta.
She went to the website of WJAR, the Powerhouse NBC affiliate in Providence, Rhode Island, where they called for my dismissal last night or today over Barack the Magic Nego Negro, and it could well be that we misidentified the actual anchor who did the report.
It could have been Gene Valescenti.
Cookie says they look so much alike, and of course, that's well.
We have to be honest.
And you know, these these TV anchors do look alike.
There's a cookie cutter uh formula that look like Ken dolls.
You know, there you have you ever have you ever seen a bald anchor?
You gotta have at least a 13-inch part in your hair to get a drive-by anchor job, even at the smallest media markets.
So it may well be that we misidentified the anchor who did the report.
We said it was Frank Coletta.
Uh it was Jean, might have been Jean Valescente.
Uh Cookie's note to me says they look so alike.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure.
Their website stinks.
Uh, but please blame me.
Uh it was my fault, not yours.
No cook.
Well, they're both Italian, but I don't know that Valicenti has ever been a grand marshal of Columbus Day Parades.
But what I said about Coletta is actually true.
He's done this.
But Cookie.
You know, this would be easy for me to blame you, and a lesser boss would.
But I reported it.
I said it.
I could have taught into the trouble to double check it and triple source you.
I trust you so much.
I just assumed that you were right, but everybody can make a mistake, except me.
I'm not allowed mistakes.
They want to fire me when I make mistakes.
You are safe.
I'll take the hit on this happily and proudly.
Note also, folks, that the moment I find out there might have been an error, we correct it.
And I take the hit.
I'm I'm taking the full brunt of the I will be a laughing stock on WJAR, the Powerhouse 50,000 watts.
Well, no, we don't know what the Watts is.
It's a TV station, NBC affiliate in Providence, Rhode Island.
All I'm saying is somebody there should resign.
They got the story wrong, factually incorrect.
It was beneath the dignity of a of a drive-by media anchor guy for any of them to do the.
Let me grab a quick phone call here before we move on.
Mark in New York City, so glad you called.
Thank you for waiting, and welcome to the EIB network.
Thank you very much, Rosham.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
I just want to say I'm a black male, originally from London, England.
And I started listening to you about ten months ago.
And the reason why I actually started listening to you, because I was just so tired of the garbage on the music stations.
And when I tuned in to you, I had, you know, the typical pre um prejudices from what I'd heard about you.
But after listening to you for about six weeks, I think it was about two months.
You start remember one day you did one of your great monologues this year, and you were talking about your own struggles to obtain success and the victim mentality and so forth.
And it just really resonated with me and struck a chord.
And I mean, I'm a big fan of you, and I listen to you as much as possible practically every day.
I I I appreciate this so much, Mark.
You're uh uh it you said something interesting.
It took you six weeks.
Because you'd heard all of the biting criticism, the lies and distortions.
Then you listen to it.
I've always said to new arrivals, it takes six weeks to get the full context of this program, the bare minimum.
And you just confirmed that.
Well, I'm so happy that that you called.
I'm so happy that this happened to you.
We're honored to have you as a member of our esteemed audience.
Yeah, it's a pleasure.
And I mean, I just really wish more people listen to you and understand what you talk about, about the drive-by media, the liberal media, the uh mentality, the victim mentality, and also when you did a great monologue about what's right with America rather than what's wrong with it.
Um I mean, I I hope I can call you in another year or two from now and have great news and show you how my life is totally checked turned around.
I'm a single parent.
We'll have a we'll look forward to that.
You we have no doubt.
I have no doubt that you're gonna make it.
I can tell in your attitude and your your desire, and uh because of your optimism, you're you're already a leg up on uh any number of people that might be quote unquote competing with you.
One one thing, though, before before we go, uh when you said I wish more people would listen, the dirty little secret is that they do.
The dirty little secret is that that a lot of these so-called critics that you don't think some of them don't, but a lot of them do, particularly drive-by's.
They they've heard enough to know here.
It's that they don't want to report what happens here.
They don't want to report on the uh good things that happen on this program.
They don't want to report about the optimism and the inspiration and the motivation that's offered by me.
They don't want to talk about and and report on the very positive and uplifting aspects of this program.
Uh and so it appears to a lot of people that that the program uh is broadcast in a uh in a vacuum.
But I've got a monologue coming up uh that touches on this.
It's war out there now.
The drive-by media has cast aside any pretense at objectivity.
They have taken up with the Democrat Party, and they are both gonna go down.
They are both going to the drive-by's are going to suffer, especially.
The Democrat Party is in the process of of of burying itself, and the drive-bys are with them.
And it uh it's gonna happen.
I don't know when, I'm just telling you, they are sowing the seeds of their own uh uh embarrassment and and defeat.
You just sit and watch.
I know this stuff, folks.
I know the American people, I still have great faith in them.
I'll get to the details of this when we come back, but I must take a brief time out now.
You know, our our system, folks, uh completely out of control when something like this cannot be stopped.
And I I I'm serious.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I know I sound funny most of the time, but I'm not trying to be funny here.
When a neighborhood, some of the Washington Post today, when a neighborhood dry cleaner misplaced Roy Pearson's pants, Roy Pearson took action.
He complained, he demanded compensation, and he sued.
Two years.
What we're talking about here is a misplaced pair of pants at the dry cleaners.
Two years, thousands of pages of legal documents, and many hundreds of hours of investigative work.
Later, Roy Pearson is seeking to make custom cleaners pay up.
He is suing them for sixty-five million dollars.
No, don't say nice pants.
The original alteration work that he took this single pair of pants in for was ten dollars and fifty cents.
He's a lawyer.
Roy Pearson is a lawyer.
Uh and he's a judge.
He is an administrative law judge for the District of Columbia.
Uh it it it started in 2002.
He lost a custom custom dry cleaners, lost a uh pair of pants that Pearson had put in for cleaning.
One week after the error was discovered, Custom gave Pearson a check for 150 bucks for new pants.
A few days later, the Chungs, Korean immigrants who live in Virginia and own three DC cleaners, told Pearson he was no longer welcome at their store.
The dispute was eventually put aside, but Pearson continued to use the company.
Then 2005, he gets a new job as a judge.
He needed to wear a suit to work every day, dug out his five hickey freeman suits, found them to be uncomfortably tight.
He asked Custom to let the waists out two or three inches.
I would say that would be uncomfortably tight.
Worried he might uh be up against his visa card limit, he took the suits in for alterations, one or two at a time.
He dropped off one pair of pants May 3rd so he could wear them to his uh new job on May the 6th as a judge.
But on May 5th, the pants weren't ready.
Su Chung promised them for early the next morning, but when Pearson showed up, the pants weren't there.
Sixty-five million dollars.
If something like this can't, if this is a judge doing this, if some if if if if this this is out of control, completely out of control.
If if something like this cannot be stopped, I mean, this is absurd.
Sixty-five million dollars for a hundred and fifty dollar pair of pants is the ten dollars some uh somewhat uh alteration.
Robert in Grass Valley, California.
I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
How are you doing, Rod?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, I this unfortunately, I'm really been trying to collect my thoughts because I could it's one of those days like you have where there's just so much stuff going through your head you can't get it all out.
Yeah.
But I was thinking about I was thinking about the the libs and just the way they do business.
You know, I I I don't know if this is a good place to say something like this, but I hear people do it sometimes.
There's a passage in the Bible that says train a child up in the way he should go, and when he's old he won't depart from it.
Every time the liberals get backed up against the fence, um, I told your your screener, I said I was I thought of a phrase that popped into my head yesterday from Woodstock to the White House.
And it's like I I really think I understand the liberals' position on uh at least where they're coming from, because back in the 60s, they got a lot of stuff done with their peace marches and their protests, and America took note and they and they stood up and listened.
But it's time to grow up and start doing business.
It's not gonna happen.
This is you know, if uh your your Woodstock to Washington analogy is pretty good because what what we have here in the in the in especially with the Clinton candidacy, Mrs. Bill Clinton, this is the 60s generation and their last chance to retake gold hold of the government.
And and that's that's what it is.
You say that they were successful and got noticed and so forth back during the sixty.
I mean, they have done a lot to um pervert and torture the culture, but they feel frustrated.
They had to go through Reagan.
They had to listen to the Bush and Bush and Nixon.
In fact, their activities in the 60s gave us Nixon.
And they're in the process and gave them McGovern, and they're in the process, is what I'm going to be talking about in mere moments.
What they're in the process of doing again.
They have they've screwed up public edu, they've screwed up everything they've touched.
They've screwed up raising their own kids, the liberal faction of this of these uh of these Woodstock generations, the sixties people.
But uh there's no question that that's what the coming election is about.
Is is that faction, the the liberal uh kids of the sixties versus the conservative branch of the uh of the sixties.
And you'd have to say that on a on a on a national basis, and if you look at presidential races, they have not had a good time of it.
Uh and so they're this is their last chance.
After this, who is there going to be?
Um so I like I like your uh your uh your analogy, but don't expect them to change.
You have to understand that for a lot of baby boomers, and even those who are not liberal baby boomers, their parents and grandparents had to work so hard and go through so much, and they did, and provided their kids, and I'm one of the baby boomers, a relatively cushy life.
We've had to go out and invent our traumas.
Not that they're not real, but we had to invent them.
We put ourselves through them.
And every because we had it so easy, because it took us so long to grow up, we had all the opportunity in the world, loaf around, laze around, and not get serious about life uh much later in life than our parents did.
We were free to also make everything about us.
Me, me, me and how I I feel and so forth, and they just haven't left that uh aspect.
They're still of that mentality, and they want to run the country on that basis again.
Remember all those times I've talked about the anti-smoking Nazis?
Turns out, folks, I was right.
The Nazis were anti-smokers, and they got it all started.
I got the table.
