Time Text
Yes, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
The views expressed by the is that thing still going off out there.
All right, we got a fire alarm going off here at the building, and uh you may hear I'm not totally insulated from the uh from the noise.
You may hear it in the background.
It will not distract me because I am a highly trained broadcast specialist.
Uh ignore it it's driving you guys nuts in there, though, because it's uh it's very loud.
Did you make any phone calls?
Is there yeah?
Uh okay.
Voicemail at the fire department.
No.
Oh, building manager.
If there's a fire, it's probably in that office and nobody's there.
Greetings, welcome back.
Great to have you with us.
L. Rushmo here on the one and only EIB network.

If you're already signed up for Rush in a hurry, again, it's free.
Nothing will obligate you here.
Uh if you're already signed up, you are eligible.
Uh what one more thing here about this uh the Senate and the and the war.
Still say one of the one of the things that's most puzzling to me about this, and it's a lot to be puzzled by, but one of the things that's most puzzling to me is why not wait for the Petraeus report in September.
You've got Lieberman and some others saying it's working.
There's a turnaround.
The the guys are on the run.
Zawahiri in his tape last week, um, pretty much made the same mistake, saying the same thing, rather, and uh admitting that there's uh things are not going swimmingly for them over there.
It was a call to arms.
It was a it was a recruiting tool and everything else.
Things are working.
There is a turnaround, but why not wait till September when Petraeus' report is due?
What is so magical about now?
Well, for the Democrats, the answer is obvious, and that is they can't afford for good news to come out of there because they're already proclaimed us defeated.
They waved the white flag of surrender.
Anything that suggests other than that, it's just gonna put a monkey wrench in their plans.
Um for the Republicans, I I I I just maybe it's impatience, futility.
Uh these guys in the Senate are just as uh bombarded by drive-by media reports and news as uh as anybody else is, and uh it may just be that they don't have the backbone for it.
But there could there could also be something one thing you know that Al Qaeda's gonna do, and this is something that I'm sure the military knows is preparing themselves for, right before this report comes out.
I think it's September 15th is the release date of the report.
You can make book on the fact that Al Qaeda is gonna raise hell.
Bombs are gonna go off, they're gonna do everything they can to uh counter whatever good news is in that report.
And of course, there will be the drive-by media and their can and their cameras, and they'll record the carnage, and we'll have the report.
Let's just hypothetically say the report is good news.
Progress is being made.
The pictures that the drive-by's are gonna show will show something just the opposite.
Now, people, what are they gonna believe?
What's in the report and what they're told is in the report are the pictures and the associated commentary that will accompany those pictures, the drive-by media.
Could well be that these guys in the Senate uh just afraid uh that all hell's gonna break loose uh in September.
They want to go whatever.
It's a silly, silly reason.
I think I can come up with uh on the uh on the Republican side.
Now let me continue a little bit of a theme that I have started today.
Uh You know, there's all this talk about the uh fairness doctrine.
And the Democrats say, well, you know, we need to balance the news out there.
We're not able to manage the news on talk radio.
We're able to manage the news because our guys are in charge over at NPR and PBS and ABC, CBS, NBC, C and N M S NBC, wherever.
New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, USA Today, our guys are in charge.
We can manage the news there, but we can't manage the news and talk radio.
And we so we we've got to we gotta need regulations.
It's not fair out there that talk radio is not managed and uh and regulated.
Um in a sense, just to make a point here, what are we, the 11th of July today?
I I would uh I would like to challenge Congress to come up with a fairness doctrine, actually.
Liberals in the Senate got it half right uh when they talk about the lack of balance and uh the lack of uh honest reporting.
They're dead right when they talk about that.
It's just they're wrong about where all these things are happening.
Americans, I will agree, Americans are not getting the information they need.
Americans are being manipulated by propaganda.
I agree with the Democrats on this.
Hour after hour, day after day, week after week.
The American people are being propagandized wherever they go.
Now I can offer proof of my assertion.
I have hard numbers that prove the point that Americans are not getting the truth, that they're getting propaganda by any objective measure, ladies and gentlemen, our economy is one of the best in history.
By any objective measure, low unemployment, record low unemployment, low inflation at the same time.
Did anybody ever think you could get both of those at the same time?
We've done it.
We have a booming investment climate that's benefiting everybody who is in the stock market, even those of you who don't think you are.
If you have a pension plan, if you have a retirement account, if you have any kind of program like that, you are in the stock market, and your pension plan is is is benefiting tremendously from this booming investment climate.
Tax revenues are flooding the federal government.
The federal deficit's gonna be 205 billion dollars.
The deficit monsters in the process of being slayed, there's more money rolling into Washington.
At the same time, affluence in the country is going through the roof like never before.
These are all facts.
These are things that I can prove.
It's not barbarous Dyson.
How the the objectives that everybody says they want in the economy are happening.
And yet, for the past year, six months before the 2006 election to a year before the 2008 election, what do Americans say they think about the economy?
Well, you can grab any poll you want.
I happen to grab a poll here from um what is it?
Now great.
Where's the third page of this?
The poll is American research group.
American research group.
A total of 16% of Americans say that the national economy is getting better.
Twenty-eight percent say it's just staying the same.
Fifty-five percent say the national economy is getting worse.
So let's round the numbers to make this easier.
Twenty percent say the economy is getting better, fifty percent say it is getting worse.
Furthermore, one-third approve of the way Bush is handling the economy, two-thirds disapprove.
This is not a measure of reality.
This is not a measure of it is a measure of liberal drive-by media propaganda.
By any objective measure, our economy is one of the best in history.
Low unemployment, low inflation.
What we have here is not measures of reality in these polls, and I don't think we have a measure of reality in the Iraq polls either.
We don't have measures of reality or attitude.
This is not measuring the effects of Rush Limbaugh Radio.
What these figures, 16% think the economy is getting better, 50 think 50% think it's getting worse.
What these figures show is the impact of unregulated left-wing propaganda repeated hour after hour, day after day, week after week, by the unregulated drive-by media, the unregulated liberal newspapers, the unfettered liberal newspapers.
Free speech is a lifeblood of our nation, my good friends.
And if we're going to do anything to modify it, let's look at where the problem really is.
It ain't here on Talk Radio.
Senator Diane Feinstein's concern.
Americans are not getting the right information out there.
Well, Senator, if you if you want America to get the information they need, uh, and I want the American people to get the information they need.
The only difference is I want to get it out, and you want to manage it.
You want to manage news that you you don't want good news.
These people, this this this poll, you can cite any, you go to any poll in the economy you want, and these numbers will be pretty much the same.
Uh so you talk about need for a fairness doctrine.
Uh yeah, okay.
I'll agree with you.
There is a bunch of propaganda out there.
There is a bunch of managed news.
There is inaccurate reporting.
And it's doing great damage, not only in the economy, but uh with the war in Iraq.
Of course, the whole point of these polls uh is to keep you unsettled, unhappy, miserable, and the edge of your chair in crisis mode, not believing the good news that you see around you, not trusting that it's real, not trusting that it will last, because you're hearing everywhere else that your neighbors think it's horrible.
It's very bad.
And then you throw in the gas price, and then you throw in Al Gore and global warming and how we're all destroying the planet with our affluence.
Well, is it any wonder you get poll numbers like this?
So, yeah, let's let's regulate the drive-by media.
Let's uh let's let's let's let's have a truth doctrine for them.
Quick timeout back after this.
Now this is just this is this is just rich.
Get this, folks.
From the Wall Street Journal, uh government efforts to reduce U.S. reliance on imported oil are forcing up prices for another indispensable commodity, and that is soap.
Soap and detergent makers say that they're being hurt by a double whammy of federal subsidies and mandates that has reduced the supply and pushed up the cost of a key ingredient, beef tallow.
The steeply rising price of corn driven by a federal requirement to use more ethanol has pushed up corn prices, making animal feed more expensive and prompting farmers to blend the less expensive tallow and other fats into their feed.
This is what happens when the government tries to make food into fuel.
So not only is corn going up, but related things are going up, tortillas, of course, are now soap.
And I you I can't wait for the drive-by media stories on on uh the the price of soap skyrocketing.
And it'll be see, this is global warming, and we need to reduce our dependence on imported oil.
No, it's exactly the opposite.
All right, to the phones.
I appreciate all of you people uh waiting and being patient here.
This is Jed in Biloxi, Mississippi.
You're next, sir.
Great to have you on the program.
Hey, Megad Ditto's Rosh.
You're the greatest.
You're the greatest.
Thank you.
Um listen, I uh from Louisiana and uh big supporter of David Vitter, a great Republican.
Um, you know, was an up rising star, I guess the Republican Party.
And you know, I'm not one of these people that get fifty or a hundred bucks to campaigns.
I'm giving thousands of dollars to Republican candidates in the state.
And I'm so disgusted right now.
My question to you is, and I want to do this, but I'm gonna hold off because you always hold off when you aggravate it.
Um, should I ask them about money back or stick with a friend in time of need?
What do you think?
You know, you've got to I I am not your conscience.
I am not I now snur what are you snurdy?
You think I'm backing out here?
You th I am not copping out.
Snurdly thinks I'm copping out.
You're not gonna get your money back anyway, they won't give it back to you.
If I can raise a fuss, you know, if I want it.
Well, you gotta weigh some things here.
You have to you have to weigh some things uh in in making your decision.
Let me walk you through your decision.
Uh you've got Vitter.
Do you like his work?
Do you like what he's done as a senator?
Do you like the uh position he had on illegal immigration, for example?
Yes, he voted against the bill.
He uh yeah, he's a good conservative, great conservative.
Um I know him, he's a great guy.
All right.
Uh uh Is he human?
Yes.
Yes, he is.
Yeah.
So that means everybody as a human being commits sin.
We've all done it.
Yes, that's right.
Okay, so it boils down to whether or not you want to get mad at him for being a hypocrite.
Right.
Do you want to let Larry Flint determine who your senators and congressmen are?
Oh, God, no.
Well, you remember the name Bob Livingston.
Of course I do.
Well, what we get to do.
Blow it.
What do we get out of the house?
What do we get out of that deal?
Here you've got Bill Clinton torquing interns in there in the Oval Office.
Livingston comes out and says what he says.
Hey, he resigns.
None of the Democrats ever resigned.
They get resume enhancements.
What we we you know, the Republicans do a good enough job of shooting themselves in the foot as it is without this stuff coming up every now and then.
But I I I think I think uh life would be nothing without understanding and forgiveness.
Well, uh, you know, you don't make decisions when you aggravate it.
And I'm gonna hold off for a while, but um I'm really I'm scared to death of the Republican Party now, and also, you know, you get Republicans in the state Republican committee people asking for his resignation.
I mean, what what Democrats don't ask, like you said, they don't ask for resignation.
That's not they did resume enhancements.
It's resume enhancements for these guys.
They can kill women and rise to the highest reaches of the United States Senate.
That's right, they do.
It's frustrating as hell.
It really is.
Yeah, I'm right.
I'm I'm not gonna ask for it back.
I'm gonna hold it.
I I look I look it.
The point is, there's a double standard out there.
Everybody gets married takes a vow, Republican and Democrat alike.
And the Democrats keep talking about commitment, commitment, commitment.
When they start talking about gay marriage, for example.
Gay marriage got to have gay marriage.
It's very people who committed to one another, we must make that possible for them to cement their vows under the lies of the law, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, fine.
They take vows too.
They violate their vows, nothing happens to them because they supposedly don't run around and talk about family values and morality.
So they get a pass because they don't talk about values and morality.
They are free to be as perverted and depraved as they want with no consequences, but because Republicans do talk about morality and values, and when they slip up, just like Democrats do, gone.
You hypocrite.
You gotta get out of here.
You're not worthy of our leadership.
None of them are worthy of our leadership.
We're gonna judge them this way.
So I I there's this this double standard.
Uh we've sat around here, we've we've accepted this, and we've taken it so long.
V what Vitter said is right, just because he fell off whatever, just because he committed his sin, doesn't mean he doesn't know what sin is.
It doesn't disqualify him from sitting in judgment over things that are right or wrong, because everybody makes mistakes.
Hopefully you learn from them.
But it doesn't when you qu when you make a mistake, the left wants to disqualify you from having any say-so in it anymore.
Well, uh even worse than that, if you didn't sign up to go to the army, you have no business talking about war.
If you're not an astronaut, you have no business talking about the space program.
They're trying to shut us up.
They're trying to stifle speech any which way they can.
And if if we're gonna if we're gonna willingly throw away our decent people over over something that happens across the human spectrum, well then we uh we deserve what we're gonna end up getting.
Nobody can say they maintain the highest standard possible.
I don't care if they are a preacher.
I don't care if they are in in uh the highest levels of whatever business is is uh oriented around morality in this country.
Nobody is clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.
Uh hope the answer helped.
Uh Jeff in Rock Falls, Illinois.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Afternoon, Rush.
Mega Truck Driving Ditto's.
Thank you, sir.
You realize you have a greater risk for death than any other profession in this country.
Drive by media reported this yesterday.
You also are a slothful slob.
You sit around there in your cab all day driving on and eating all that junk and so forth and taking drugs to stay awake at night.
It's great to have you in the audience.
Hey, Rush, I want to get back to McCain for a minute.
You talked about him for the last two days of things that he hasn't done, and in a lot of people's view correctly.
One thing you forgot about that you haven't mentioned, he was leader of the gang of fourteen.
That's a good point.
That That's you're you're absolutely right.
I did leave that out of the list of things that doomed his candidacy before it started.
You're absolutely right.
I know he's been you know, I mean, he's been hanging around long enough.
He ought to retire, in my own opinion.
I I I thank you for a service.
There's just one man right there that, you know, I just couldn't vote for.
It's interesting you say some of his new advisors are suggesting he do just that.
They said, leave the Senate, Senator, get out of there to vote it full time to the campaign.
You got to do something to revive this, make it full time, and don't get yourself caught up in any more legislative snaffos like immigration reform, get yourself out of the process.
He won't do it because the governor out there is a Democrat, Napolitano, and she'll uh she'll feel this fill the seat with Democrat.
Plus, he's not gonna quit now anyway, because then he'd have nothing.
The campaign is I mean, it's a long shot to get this.
He's got two million bucks in the bank.
That's broke at this stage.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity simply by showing up.
Let's delve into the uh global warming stack here for just a second, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
First from Bloomberg News.com.
If one of the more extreme responses to global warming comes true, driving a sports car anywhere but on a racetrack might be relegated to history's dustbin.
Fast, powerful cars within a few years may be outlawed in Europe.
An idea that's been raised ostensibly because Ferraris and Porsches produce too much carbon dioxide.
For those who abhor sports cars as vulgar symbols of affluence, along with vacation homes, furs, and fancy jewelry, such a ban could be a twofer, saving the planet while cutting economic inequality.
I have been warning you people we are headed in this direction.
You've got it right here, class envy.
Oh, yeah, ban Porsche's, ban Ferraris.
And it won't stop there.
And we we'll be we will protect the environment and we'll get rid of the obvious uh disparity in wealth, Mr. Limbaugh, if a fair deal if win-win, no matter how you flice it.
So the story here says, Well, who are these people anyway, who decide on behalf of everyone what car is proper to drive?
Well, in the United States, they're members of Congress.
Which is considering fuel efficiency standards that will affect vehicle size.
In Europe, it's ministers and parliamentarians of the European Union, which wants to limit how much CO2 cars can emit as a proxy for a fuel consumption standard.
They're thinking about this.
Now, this is patently absurd because you're gonna start banning jet airplanes.
Gonna ban jet airliners.
It's it's absurd more fundamental reasons than that.
It's none of their damn business.
Especially when the whole premise behind this is a hoax and phony.
Get this.
This is from um the Daily Telegraph.
In Australia, the British government's facing calls to discourage families from having more than two children to help the environment.
The optimum population trust, a UK-based think tank, made the call in a new report unveiled today saying record growth in Britain's birth rate was having an adverse impact on the environment.
The report's author, Professor John Gillotbod, said the government should introduce stop at two children or have one less policies.
Each new UK birth through the inevitable resource consumption and pollution that UK affluence generates is responsible for about 160 times as much climate-related environmental damage as a new birth in Ethiopia, or 35 times as much as a new birth in Bangladesh.
Said this report, this is patently a lie.
Poverty is the great polluter.
Who was it that said that?
Was it Gandhi?
Mohatma or Indira?
Somebody said it.
Poverty is the great pol.
So now we're supposed to live like the Ethiopians.
Now we're not supposed to Have any fossil fuels.
Now we're not supposed to have any electricity.
Now we're not supposed to have any air conditioning.
We're not supposed to have any of the things that enhance life.
I'll tell you what, folks, go to Ethiopia, take a trip, and then go to the UK, and you tell me which one's more polluted.
The idea that the UK and affluent society is a destroying planet is an insult to anybody who's got a modicum of intelligence and a base scientific education.
So um breeding.
Call on Brits to stop breeding like human beings or animals.
You think the uh the Muslim population is only going to listen to this in the UK?
You think the Muslim population is going to listen to it?
They're already being overpopulated and colonized in their own country for crying out loud over there.
You people saw the recent story.
Mohammed is set to become the most popular boy name in Britain.
Mohammed soon will become the most popular boy name in Britain.
You think you uh you think they're gonna listen to this business about uh, you know, only have two terrorists when you breed?
Is it gonna listen to that?
Plastic bottles do not cause global warming.
This is uh from uh what's his uh office?
Some uh it's a UK website, office news.
The bottled water industry is hit back at claims that discarded plastic water bottles are contributing to global warming.
A statement issued by bottled water information office.
Big bottled water getting in the action here.
Says it is an environmentally friendly industry following the news that the city of New York is running a campaign to encourage people to ditch bottled water and drink tap water instead to protect the environment.
San Francisco's uh on this push, too.
The big bottled water said the very foundation of the industry is the protection of a precious natural resource.
Its use in a sustainable manner, and that ethos is applied in every aspect of the work of the industry.
Bottled water is most commonly packaged in either plastic or glass, which is totally safe, conforms to strict regulations on health and safety.
By far the majority of bottled water, 93% comes in plastic bottles, which is totally recyclable.
Bottles also carry messages urging the purchaser to recycle after use.
The rest come in glass bottles, which can also be placed for recycling.
So the big bottled water gang fighting back, defending itself against all these charges.
Now, this story is the PS de resistance in the global warming stack today.
Scientists said today that the rise in global temperatures that has been detected over the past 20 years cannot be blamed on the sun.
This is a theory espoused by climate change skeptics, and they are wrong.
The skeptics cannot be listened to.
The sun cannot be blamed for global warming.
It's not the sun's fault.
British and Swiss researchers looked at data for radiation from the sun, levels of which can cool or warm our planet's atmosphere.
Really?
They factored in a cycle which solar radiation goes through peaks and troughs of activity over a period of about eleven years.
The study co-authored by Mike Lockwood of Britain's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Klaus Frollik of the World Radiation Center in Switzerland.
The overwhelming consensus among scientists is that human activity is to blame for the rise in global temperatures.
In its latest report issued this year, the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change said this warming is already affecting the climate system.
So, sun's off the hook.
Scientists say so.
Scientists say sun's in the clear.
Sun has nothing to do with warming, cooling, and sun does not make heat.
Not enough heat.
Not enough heat to affect global warming.
No, human beings are causing it.
Uh sun is out of the picture.
The sun's no.
It's aren't you glad?
You know now.
Well, for the first time, ladies and gentlemen, leading candidates for the presidency will hold a televised debate devoted solely to uh lesbian gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.
Uh this will be the Democrats.
A one-hour event on August the 9th, broadcast on the Gay Network logo.
Uh And there'll be live streaming of this, by the way, uh at logoonline.com.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Breck Girl have confirmed that they will participate.
Several other Democrat candidates may also join the uh debate.
It may be conducted with a live audience in Los Angeles.
On the panel questioning the two Democrats will be human rights campaign president Joe Solom uh Salmonese and singer Meless Melissa you've got to be kidding.
First time I've laughed all day.
Melissa Etheridge.
Uh is the uh uh uh uh debate was put together by logo and HRC.
What the hell's HRC?
Is that Hillary Rodham Clinton?
That can't.
Oh, human rights campaign.
That's right.
Human rights campaign.
Okay.
Uh what's a question, Mr. Snerdling?
We got audio to play here.
They can't go on Fox.
They can't go on Fox because Fox is not fair.
Can't go with Fox.
Fox doesn't have a heart.
Fox, Fox, Fox, Fox is is this mean.
Fox is biased.
It's not you can't manage the news.
You can't, you cannot manage the news on Fox.
So they can't they're gonna go and but they're gonna they're gonna do a debate on a gay network, the logo.
Uh what was the that was the black caucus debate on Fox that they skipped.
That's right.
It was because it was on Fox.
They didn't tell black people to go screw themselves.
They told Fox to go get screwed.
They said we're not appearing on Fox, even if it is a black caucus sponsored debate.
But they're gonna go.
They're gonna go to the gay debate, the logo network.
I didn't even know there was such a network.
Uh on Direct TV, I'll have to check the uh listings.
But anyway, there's a there's a YouTube video.
A Hillary Clinton supporter has written a song and put together a what was uh uh what would you call this?
Uh uh.
Well, it's it's uh it's a it's a video and a song dedicated to Hillary, and it's uh it's it's by the Hot for Hill girl.
And a woman's name that did this is Terran Southern.
She wrote and performed the song, and in a note from her website, the Hot for Hill Blogspot.com, she writes, let me preface my announcement by saying that I am no stranger to politics.
I ran for student council president of seventh grade.
I attended a 204 presidential debates in Miami.
I even met Bob Dole this year at a Las Vegas airport.
Following the release of the Obama girl video, I felt it was my social responsibility to provide America with a fair and balanced view of the 08 Democrat campaign by showing my love and support for my own favorite candidate, Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And here's here's a you've gotta see this too.
But we uh we have the audio, a portion of the song entitled Hot for Hill.
There has been no um response from the uh Clinton campaign office to numerous inquiries about the video.
We presume this is a supporter.
I mean, this woman claims to be a supporter.
She's uh she's gay.
Happy that Hillary's gonna be on the gay network to the debate, and uh did this song to support her.
We presume she's a supporter.
Uh well uh I know.
I I don't want to be taken in by anything here.
Because it is a good question.
How could you be a supporter and and and praise a pantsuit?
The shape of the dairy and some of the other things in here.
The Derriere, that's uh but but uh I know you're not gay, but I'm hoping for buy.
This uh by no, not lingual, don't that's not what was that's not the implication there.
All right, Pete Ynappa, California.
I'm glad you're on the uh program.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Hey, Megadidas Rush uh fourth time caller.
Um I'm calling to say uh I want to apologize for sitting on my hands in two thousand and six.
Uh I was one of those uh disgruntled uh conservatives.
And uh I I know now that it didn't win us anything.
It uh in fact we got more weak me Republicans and turncoat Democrats in Congress, and it's just something that we don't need.
I I have uh relatives uh in the army and uh I don't I don't know how it serves by not being engaged in the political process.
We should uh uh we should uh you know if we would have won, if we would have held on control uh held on to the Congress, who who knows what Pelosi and Reed would have done to themselves if the Republicans would have stayed in power.
And we wouldn't you know, we wouldn't be talking about you know cutting and running and and and leaving our allies, you know, to the the terrorists.
Oh, yeah, we would.
I mean the the the they'd still be shouting about it.
They they can't pass the resolution in the house, even though they run it.
Can you name for me the one thing they've gotten done?
There was there's Whoa.
Jared just collapsed on me.
Let me stand up.
Can you name one thing that they've done?
Because there isn't really that other than uh the minimum wage, uh, passed.
That's it, you're exactly right.
The minimum wage is it.
In toto.
Everything else has just been a flurry of investigations and harassment and press conferences and so forth.
They haven't been able to get anything done, and their approval numbers are way, way down.
This look it things are what they are.
It is what it is.
And uh people like you didn't show up.
Uh and some people like you did show up and just didn't vote for Republicans.
But it is what it is.
Everything in life contains lessons.
Uh glad to hear you say that you want to remain engaged in the political process.
Yeah.
Never again.
Never again.
Oh, remember that you said that.
I I promise.
I I got I got family members uh uh uh their lives are in the line, so I'm I'm not gonna forget them.
So Pete, it's great to hear from you.
Thanks for the call.
I gotta take quick time out here, folks.
We will uh be back and roll right on right after this.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, even though I'm in a foul mood and highly irritable.
Uh Eric and Greeley, Colorado, welcome to the EIB network.
Uber Ditto's right.
Thank you.
Bob Livingston did the right thing at the time by resigning.
And I can tell you why.
Tell me quickly.
It scared the hell out of the Democrats.
When he I was watching it live, he was talking on the floor, and they were all booing him and yelling.
Then he said, So I hereby tender my resignation.
There was a stunned silence.
He turned to leave the room, and I remember it vividly.
Cynthia McKinney ran up and was clawing at him, grabbing him, saying, No, no, no, you can't, no, no, no.
It scared them so bad to see somebody do something principled and right.
Yeah, uh, I remember that, and uh I think there were calls on Clinton to uh do the same thing, but uh what what came of them being scared?
Nothing.
They don't they still don't resign when things like this happen.
They don't resign.
Gotta run.
Be back in just a second, my friends, the EIB network with a top of the hour time out.
