Time Text
The views expressed by the host on the show are right according to a consensus of the American people.
Therefore, this is your source authority for what's right in American media.
If you deny that, then you are a rush denier, Rush Limbaugh.
That's me.
The all-knowing, all caring, all sensing, all feeling maha rushy.
Here at the Distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
And the phone number if you'd like to be on the program today, 800 28282, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has dropped the use of her maiden name Rodham in her bid for the Democrat presidential nomination.
Mrs. Clinton identifies herself as Hillary Clinton in her campaign press releases and on her campaign website.
The lone mention of her maiden name is in a campaign biography that says Hillary's father Hugh Rodham was the son of a factory worker from Scranton.
She continues to use Hillary Rodham Clinton in a New York focused press releases and in the Senate, though.
She appeared surprised last week when asked why her presidential campaign had dropped her maiden name.
She laughed.
You know, the laugh of the Arkansas Broadbeam.
She shook her head and she said, Well, I haven't.
I I haven't.
And then she ran off.
Howard Wolfson, top communications advisor to Clinton Inc., downplayed any significance to the change, asked if it was strategic to drop Rodham, he said, that's a fair question, but there's no there's no plan behind it.
I will guarantee you it's polling.
I will just guarantee you that it's it's uh it's polling.
There are no coincidences, folks.
And especially there are no coincidences with the Clintons.
I mean, as so many things look like coincidence, but there's no coincidence.
Now, how about Carl what's his name, Bernstein?
How about Carl Bernstein's book?
From the Times Online in the UK, drawing on a trove of private papers from Hillary Clinton's best friend, the legendary Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein is to publish a hard-hitting and intimate portrait of the 2008 presidential candidate, which will reveal a number of discrepancies in her official story.
Bernstein has spent eight years researching the unauthorized 640-page biography, A Woman in Charge, The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Well, now, isn't this convenient timing?
That the book happens to come out now, and not in the midst of the actual campaign, but now.
What I am warning you people of is to not be fooled by this.
For example, how is it that Carl Bernstein gets these secret files?
While the Carl Bernstein can't get anything published these days.
How does he end up with them?
And if you read excerpts, yes, you'll find out that she's told some whoppers and she's told some lies, and maybe some of her heastwa doesn't match with what she has said.
But his conclusion is so what?
It's not that big a deal.
Uh, I'm gonna tell you what, I I think this a total put-up job.
I think I think Bernstein was given this job by Clinton Inc.
to get the skeletons out of the closet for everybody to see.
I mean, how did he get the private papers nobody else has been able to get?
How did that happen?
So Bernstein goes about the task of in the same book accusing her of lying about almost everything and then exonerating her in the book, by the way.
And this is the ploy that Hillary has used for decades.
She wants to get rid of all of her skeletons so that she has to address them and then be done with it.
And again, what better time to do that now than in the primaries?
What better way to address any accusations than to say, look, we've been there and done that with Carl Bernstein's book.
You know, these things, if they surface again after she gets the nomination, oh, here goes the Republican attack machine, just recycling a bunch Of old news.
This was in Carl Bernstein's book a year ago.
And let's can't we move on?
Can't we stop the politics of personal destruction?
Can't we just move on?
The thing about Mrs. Clinton is that everything is a lie.
Nothing, I mean, well, everything's a lie.
Nothing is as it seems.
Let's just put it that way.
Nothing is as it seems with the with the Clintons, and I think this book is probably part of that reality.
For example, here's a here's a story by Anne Kornblut in the Washington Post today, Clinton's Power Pointer.
And this is all about Mark Penn, uh, who was who is the pollster.
And here's the here's the poll quote from this story.
Armed with voluminous data that he collects through his private polling firm, Penn has become involved in virtually every move Clinton makes, with the result that the campaign reflects the chief strategist as much as the candidate.
Well now, isn't that great?
So if you are basically devoid of substance, if you if by that I mean you you're you're not gonna pin yourself down on anything because you're gonna wait for what the polls say, then doesn't it make perfect sense that a pollster would be your primary architect of your message?
If you are if you are going to make yourself devoid of substance and ideas, then anybody can come along and fill you up.
So a Mrs. Bill presidency promises a return to be run by polling.
Just like Clinton's.
I mean, he would poll what to wear on vacation, he'd poll where to go on vacation.
People are elected to do more than follow the whims of public opinion, at least they were.
But you know, given that we're in the age of terrorism now, we all know what happened.
Uh because Bill decided it wasn't politically advantageous to confront the terrorist threat.
Uh didn't want those poll numbers going down, didn't want to take on any real tough issues, because didn't want to risk that 65% approval rating.
Now, over the years, uh, ladies and gentlemen, you know, I've been a uh very loud critic of polling.
And what my my basic beef has been is that the drive-by is used polling basically for two reasons.
A, they're lazy, but B, they go out and polling to create news.
Every poll is presented as a news story.
But I think polling also is a way to get what would be on the editorial page of a newspaper onto the front page.
A poll done by the drive-by media is the best way to advance an agenda and make it look like it's just a news story.
You got in the agenda, you're the drive-by as a Democrat, you have an agenda, you come out with a poll that shows a majority of Americans happen to agree with your agenda.
Well, bam, good for you.
But I th I've I I think it's worse now than just a bunch of lazy journalists and and uh and just driving an agenda.
And everybody thinks George Bush today is stupid.
I mean, if you have a poll out there that says a majority of the American people wonder about Bush's intelligence, well then by gosh, he is.
And the drive-bys can hide behind that.
And the Democrats can hide behind it.
It justifies them to behave like Harry Reed does.
Bush is an idiot.
Why it's absolutely stupid.
Why the American people think so?
We got a poll that says so.
Harry Reed looks at the poll.
Well, Bush is an idiot, I'm safe, I can go say so myself.
Everybody thinks we're going to die next week from global warming.
It must be true.
If polling data, there was a story in the New York Times last week.
Public shifting now.
Many a majority convinced global warming is a problem, but not sure what to do about it.
Okay, well, it's over.
The issue's over.
The American people agree.
That global warming is going to kill us tomorrow.
If not tomorrow next year, and if not, then the next decade.
And if not then, certainly by the end of the century.
But if the American people agree, well, that's it.
There's no more story.
Must be true.
If you if if if you don't believe that, when you're confronted daily with one poll after another, you're going to eventually be swayed to think it if you if if you don't think that global warming is a problem or that Mrs. Clinton's the greatest things in sliced bread.
After repeated polls and polls and polls in the American people, you're told in a poll American people think X, why must be true?
And I'm not that smart, you say to yourself.
Most people think everybody else is smarter than they are.
Well, I must be missing some those people are right.
It must be true.
So we got global warming.
We have to act.
The American people say so.
It must be true.
Very sly, ladies and gentlemen.
Sort of like smoke.
You don't realize you're overcome until it's too late.
Sort of like being put in a vat of cold water and they turn up the heat.
Starts boiling.
By the time you're cooked, it's too late to get out of there, you know the old story with the frog.
But it's it's tricked now, and it's it's not just for the creation of news and driving an agenda.
It is to provide almost an authoritative conclusion to the question of any issue.
Is there global warming?
Well, the American people say so.
It must be true.
Bush stupid?
Well, American people say so.
It must be true.
President Clinton's 65% approval rating of the most popular president.
Must be true, people say so.
We've got to get out of Iraq now.
It's a lost cause.
That must be true.
The American people say so.
So that's how these polls are uh are being used, and that is exactly what Mark Penn is doing for Mrs. Bill Clinton.
She's out there, she's gonna adopt she's like an empty fuel tank, and he's putting the fuel in there.
Whatever the public says is what she's gonna be.
The American people say so.
I must be right.
I must be the presidential candidate of your choice.
Back in just a second.
And we're back.
Couple audio sound bites here.
This is uh Barack Obama.
This is uh yesterday, the first AME church, South Los Angeles.
Uh and uh Well, just listen, this is what he said.
Why is it we can find the money in a second for a war that doesn't make any sense?
But we can't find the money to take out the bullet of poverty in this country and stitch up our community so every child has a chance at a decent life.
Come on, Barack, you're gonna have to do better than this.
Libs before you came along and said we gotta get rid of the NASA budget, we gotta get rid of the defense budget, we need to spend more money on poverty, we need to spend more money on education, we need to spend more money on whatever.
And the amount that we spend on poverty.
The amount that we spend on education, the amount we spend on social programs would dwarf the defense budget.
Um draws a check from the government?
Half the country that's right, half of this country now draws some kind of check from the federal government.
But we're not spending enough money.
The more I hear of Obama, the less I think he's gonna provide big trouble for the Clinton Inc.
machine.
This guy's he does maybe down the road, but he doesn't have enough experience yet, and I'm just telling you that the I'm not saying he's an intellectual white way to have experience.
This is this is all tired, worn-out stuff.
I've been we we we've been deflecting this since since the 70s.
They tried this with Reagan in the 1980s.
This is old stuff.
I mean, this is it certainly isn't new and unique, and all these adjectives applied to Obama.
But my only point is that this is the best he's got.
Uh anybody thinks that the Clinton Inc gang in the war room down there in the bunker is gonna be intimidated by this guy.
They're gonna be content to let this guy rise to whatever heights, because uh it'll it'll allow Mrs. Bill Clinton to uh destroy him and show she can overcome obstacles and avoid being the candidate of inevitability.
Now, you all know that Jack Mertha went absolutely nuts and started calling for Bush's impeachment all over again.
He was on face to nation with Bob Schiefer, who said, Now you seriously talking about contemplating an impeachment of this president congressman.
What I'm saying, there's four ways to influence the president, that's one of them's impeachment, and that's an option that is on the table.
I'm just saying that's one way to influence the president.
The other way is the purse.
And the and the purse is controlled by the Congress who's elected by the public.
In the last election, public said we want the Democrats in control.
Sounds like to me like he's backing away from this uh impeachment business.
Uh fact uh Meredith Vieira today on the Today Show said you dropped the impeachment word in referenced how Congress could influence the president To some, it sounded like a veiled threat.
Is impeachment really on the table?
Who we hope it is?
We hope it is.
Are you seriously considering it?
I'm getting twice as many calls as I got uh just a few months ago about impeachment.
Are you seriously considering it, sir?
No, I I just think that's one of the options.
The real option here is the power of the purse.
Aha!
I was right.
It's just a joke.
He's not seriously considering it.
And enough time.
Uh uh.
Yeah, he didn't.
There are four ways.
That's right.
He said two.
There's the impeachment and there's the uh there's the purse.
And what I mean uh the purse is uh uh Well, I think one of them the election.
I think uh elections are another way to control the president's what he meant here.
But there's uh there's still a fourth that uh wasn't mentioned.
It might be illegal, so we won't go there.
Uh Sam in Princeton, New Jersey.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Sam.
Testing.
One, two, three, four.
Sam, wake up.
He's he's who we got next here, El Snerdbo, Somerset, Pennsylvania says, Harry, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Yeah, Rush.
I finally saw in print the number of enemy dead in Iraq in an op-ed from General Barry McCaffrey.
Approximately 20,000 dead and 27,000 being detained.
Makes you wonder what sort of metric Harry Reid uses to declare defeat.
Well, how many of those 20,000 dead are combatants and how many are innocent Iraqi citizens that Bush naponed?
Uh this is uh 20,000 armed fighters.
Okay.
I just Well, we got Libs in the audience, and I just wanted to uh ask the question that they would ask you.
Twenty-seven thousand detained, huh?
Yes.
Speaking of which, you know, last week the Saudis announced that they'd arrested 144 people that were going to blow up the oil fields, terrorists and so forth.
And I asked some very salient questions back then.
We don't know if this is true.
This is Saudi's saying, so was torture used?
Have they been given uh right to an attorney?
Uh you know, they just make all this stuff up against these guys, and the the questions that would be asked about us if we announced this kind of capture, I think the questions are not being asked of the Saudis.
In fact, one question is those guys still have heads.
Anyway, so Ter Harry Reid's definition of uh of failure.
Uh I'm gonna tell you what it is.
Harry Reed's definition of failure is anything George Bush is in charge of.
It's all pure politics.
Here's a great example of drive-by media behavior.
I have a headline here.
This is from the BBC.
I want to read you the headline.
I'm gonna ask you what you think this story might be about.
Leaked Bush memo aimed at Kerry.
What's that sound like to you, Mr. Snerdley?
Leaked Bush memo aimed at Kerry.
Why, it sounds to me that uh somebody came across a a memo that Bush wrote that was aimed at destroying John Kerry, right?
It's the exact opposite.
The story is the exact opposite.
Headline sounds like Bush leaked a memo aimed at hurting carry, not the other way around, which is actually the case.
A civil servant who leaked a secret memo about Bush, wanted it to be seen by U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry, the old Bailey, which is a big courtroom in uh in uh in London heard.
David Keogh, 50 from Northampton, said to have passed a highly sensitive document detailing talks between George Bush and Tony Blair to Leo O'Connor.
Mr. Keogh told jurors the contents of the memo had preyed on his mind.
Mr. Keogh and Mr. O'Connor, 44, also of Northampton, deny three charges under the official Secrets Act.
Yeah, the main person in my mind was John Kerry.
I wanted John Kerry to get this memo.
He admitted that he had unfavorable views on Bush, but did not think the publication of the document would have any damaging effects to Britain's defense or international relations.
That's you know local story from the U.K., but this headline, leaked memo, leaked Bush memo, aimed at Kerry.
It was just the opposite, just the other way around.
Kathleen in uh in Canton, Michigan.
Welcome to the E.I.B. Is it are you 12 years old?
Am I reading that right?
Yes.
Hi, Kathleen.
Well, it's great to have you with us today.
Hello, question I called you.
It's Great to speak with you.
My question is when Clinton was in power, there were multiple terrorists attacked on the United States.
Why didn't he try and stop them?
Well, they did, uh, in their own way.
They they they tried to use the legal system, uh, but they were never really serious about doing anything about preventing future attacks.
Uh, and they never responded militarily to uh to attacks until uh late in the term, second term, during the uh impeachment scandals.
Uh uh they've it it's I tell what I have to ask you a hold on.
I misread the clock when I took your uh call, and I thought I had a minute more than I do.
Can you hold on for a couple of minutes?
Yes.
Good.
Thank you.
Because I'll be happy to try to uh explain this to you.
Twelve years old from Canton, Michigan.
You're not in school today?
School.
Oh, okay.
Homeschool explains a lot.
Back after this, stay with us.
Happily, folks, what we do here, we make the complex understandable because I know practically everything.
Rushlin ball, the E uh.
People just staring at me in disbelief.
Even those who know me.
Skin deep.
All right, back to Kathleen, twelve-year-old Kathleen in Canton, Michigan.
Yours is actually a very good question.
Uh why didn't the Clintons do anything about terrorism when there were attacks on this country during uh the uh both terms of the Clinton presidency.
But before I answer that, I'm curious, uh uh, where did this question come from in your mind?
Where did what what what what have you been doing lately uh studying that spawned this question today?
Well, I've been doing a lot in my history book, and I was reading about Clinton and how there were some terrorist attacks, but they didn't say exactly what they did about them.
Well, the the the administration did a couple of things.
The uh the the the first World Trade Center attack in 1993, uh there was not much done on that.
Uh however, the you you you may have read about, I don't know, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rachman is an Egyptian sheik, his nickname's a blind sheik.
And he and some cronies, one of who I think was involved in the 93 blast, had uh evolved a plan to blow up Brooklyn Bridge and some tunnels and so forth, and what one of his he and one of his buddies, uh Yamzi, something Ramza Youssef, I think, were prosecated, prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan, and guilty verdicts were secured, and uh both are in jail for life.
So they the Clinton administration, Kathleen looked at terrorism as a as a criminal enterprise, and they dealt with it legally.
Uh but they did a couple of things in the process that that created real, real havoc.
In the process of using the legal system, you have to impanel grand juries to hear evidence.
And the evidence that was reseeded and presented, much of it was classified intelligence data.
Now, grand jury testimony is secret.
It cannot be revealed, it cannot be published, it cannot be legally released to anybody, including other intelligence agencies.
So, as an example, if the FBI is called into the grand jury to give evidence against a potential terrorist, uh then the CIA and nobody else could know about it.
And this was referred to as the wall that was built by the Clinton administration and uh associate attorney general by the name of Jamie Garellick that actually prevented agencies in the government from learning what each other knew since terrorism was being prosecuted legally rather than fought uh on battlefields on the home grounds of terrorists.
Now, why was this?
Well, who knows?
Uh I I I've I it uh probably it was just the fact that the Clinton people are Democrats and and did not have a serious worldview of terrorism, much like Democrats have it today.
John Edwards and his debate performance, the press conference performance last week.
There's really no war on terror.
That the terrorism is just something it happens, it's out there, we've got to be prepared to deal with it, but to go to war against it is silly because there isn't one.
And we ought not convince the American people that we go they're trying to create a an atmosphere people call a 9-10 atmosphere where we can pretend that life in America is just as it was before 9-11.
Well, in doing that, we had the World Trade Center attacks.
We had Americans killed all over the world in Al-Qaeda bombings.
Uh One of the popular theories to explain why the Clinton administration didn't do anything about it, other than legally, uh, which very few people saw if but if you go to war or if you respond uh to terrorist attacks militarily, everybody's gonna see that.
And the Clinton administration, not big fans of the military.
The military to them was a social playground where they could try the don't ask, don't tell policy, women in combat, gays in combat, and this sort of thing.
The theory is that the Clinton administration just didn't want to risk the high approval they had, and going to war would certainly do that, they thought.
So though those are the two primary reasons.
The Clinton administration had a totally different agenda, and that was to produce uh a legacy of eight years of bliss, non confrontation, harmony.
You know, we're we've got the the Soviet Union had just gone kaput, we had the peace dividend, and and uh they didn't want to tackle any difficult issue that might threaten that legacy or that 65% approval rating that they had.
The only time Clinton actually did military strikes in and in involving Al Qaeda was in in 1988 or 89 when he launched some missiles into empty camps.
Was it 88, 98?
What did I say?
99?
80.
I said eighty-nine.
No, I didn't say eighty-nine.
All right, I got verbal dyslexia.
It was ninety-eight ninety-nine.
Kathleen, that he launched the he blew up uh an office building on a Saturday night in Baghdad.
I think that the janitor was killed.
Uh but nothing, nothing serious uh after after rattling some cages, and in fact, after 9-11 happened, there were some former Clinton administration officials lamenting that if it was going to happen, why couldn't it have happened during Clinton's presidency so that he could have had something around which to forge greatness?
Uh those are the those are the best theories to answer your question.
And this this call was obviously a home school assignment, wasn't it?
No.
No.
Well, it served the purpose of being a home school assignment, nevertheless.
Does that help you?
Yes, it does.
Any other questions?
Because I'm a font of answers.
Um, not really, but I you're coming to Michigan on Thursday, and I will be there.
You will?
You're gonna be in the audience?
Yes, I will.
Well, terrific.
Well, I'm glad this is I'm glad to know this too.
Uh, and I'm glad that you're going to be there.
You coming with your mom and dad?
No, just my mom.
Just your mom.
Okay.
Well, I hope you have a good time.
I'll I'll go out of my way to make sure that you do.
Thank you.
Oh, great.
That's uh Kathleen from Cantonese.
Yeah, by the way, programming note, I will not be here Thursday, folks.
I've got a fly to Detroit Thursday morning.
I've got a uh a rush to excellence performance that night for our affiliate there, WJR.
I get that 2,500 people.
They sold it out in a half an hour, I think they told me.
Uh meeting with uh some of our sponsors that are headquartered in uh in Detroit during the uh during the day.
Uh but we'll be back here on Friday.
Now look, there's some other things in a stack of stuff I want to get to, and I referenced this earlier, but I want to give you the numbers.
This is from FT Portfolios, first trust portfolios.com.
U.S. Treasury Department reported a gusher of tax revenue last week, Tuesday alone.
And we told you about this last week.
The Treasury received 48.7 billion dollars from individual taxpayers as their final tax payment for 2006, an all-time now.
I don't know about that.
I guess it could be.
But there were a lot of estimated payments for the first quarter of 07 were due at the same day, so it anyway it was an all-time single-day record, one-third higher the same day last year, based on information available through Friday.
We estimate, this is again the first trust portfolios, we estimate federal receipts at about 390 billion dollars in April, and if true, this would be the largest tax take for any month in American history.
Up 25 percent versus last April, up 18 percent versus the previous high in April of 2001, with incomes and profits growing rapidly.
The U.S. budget deficit will fall to about $145 billion during the next 12 months.
To put this in perspective, the deficit was $455 billion as recently as three years ago.
And they're projecting it to be a hundred and forty-five billion at the end of this year.
Not one thank you.
Not one thank you from the government.
They never thank us for what we pay.
Not one.
You ever get a thank you note for the government?
Do you?
I don't.
Let's get another bill.
John Edwards has called for tax increases beyond tax cut repeal.
Yes, in Bill Clinton said this.
Do we remember this?
A Houston fundraising audience about his 93 tax increase.
I'll never forget this story.
There was one Reuters reporter in there that heard it, didn't think it was any big deal.
All the other reporters knew it was a stock speech, so they were out eating.
And in this speech, Bill Clinton said, you know, there are people in this room still mad at me at that budget cause, because you think I raise your taxes too much.
It might surprise you to know that I think I raised them too much, too.
It took two days for that to get reported because the drive by's in there didn't think it was any big deal.
John Edwards has come out and said that tax increase was chunk change compared to what I'm going to do.
Not only are the tax cuts we got not going to sunset, I'm going to raise taxes even more than Clinton did.
Why would anybody do this given this gusher of tax revenue that's pouring in now?
And we all know that it ain't tax increases that did debt, Mama.
It is tax cuts that brought this about.
And of course, it's a good question.
And you have to understand, with the Democrats in taxes, it's more about total control than it is the money.
They're going to get the money one way or the other.
They have to borrow it for their programs.
They're going to get it.
Thank you.
It's not whether tax cuts or tax increases create more revenue.
It's about controlling us.
It's about controlling those who create wealth and what they do with it.
The primary, primary purpose of taxes is control behavior.
That is why, and I know you people, you get frustrated with it.
Rush, why don't you support this tax reform plan or that?
Well, I do.
I support.
But you have another thing.
If you think that that members of the House of Representatives in the Senate, I don't care which party are going to vote to give up the single greatest power they have, and that is the social architecture they can create with the tax code.
If you think they're going to give that up, then you do not understand the reason they seek the job in the first place.
It is about power.
It is about control.
If there is anything intellectually honest that people in politics ought to admit, if you need the money to run the government and if you need things and handle things for Riny Day, tax cuts are the way to produce it.
It has been.
And to produce a great economy.
But none of this registers.
Certainly not with the libs.
Be right back, folks.
In fact, the right the right way to look at this is that there was not a tax cut.
If you want to know the truth, there were tax rate reductions, which led to a tax increase.
How in the world?
How else would you characterize record revenues pouring into Washington in one month?
Taxes were increased, but they were increased by virtue of reducing rates.
Which led to a bigger economy and more jobs and people paying tax, more people paying taxes.
So uh look at it's a semantic point, but I think it brilliantly makes the point.
The tax cut led to tax increases.
Not generally, but it increases in tax revenue.
Uh it's all it's all in the message, folks.
Teachers leaving profession in droves.
This is from the Contracosta Times in California.
Stephen Goyne entered teaching as a fight the good fight kind of guy, taking a job in East Oakland right out of college.
Yeah, I came from a family of teachers.
It wasn't even a question of whether to do that.
The question was whether to do elementary, middle, or has scrubbed.
But after six years in the trenches, transferred from campus to campus, forbidden from organizing field trips in order to teach math only after lunch.
Goyne left the profession.
Now he works in real estate, runs a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio in Oakland.
That last year I had enough of it.
The biggest skill you're applying is crowd control.
You're not really having a say in the curriculum or what goes into it.
Teachers stifled by bureaucracy and blocked from making decisions in their own classrooms are leaving teaching in droves, according to a new study by Cal State University's Teacher Quality Institute.
Get this.
Nearly 22% of California teachers leave teaching after only four years, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
With this type of exodus, the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning projects a 33,000 teacher shortage in California by 2015.
Well, that's there'll probably be that many fewer students by 2015 because of global warming.
But what does this all add up to?
It adds up to, and you take this this guy's word for it, uh they're no longer teaching people how to think.
They're not teaching people how to comparatively analyze, how to gather, process information.
They're indoctrinating.
The teachers are being forced to indoctrinate.
Can't teach math except after lunch.
I can't teach math until after lunch.
Wonder why that is.
Well, because you probably have a bigger excuse for all the failures because after they've eaten, they don't have as much energy, they slow it down, not paying as much attention.
He got an excuse for the failing and falling math scores.
I bet science came after lunch, too.
