Time Text
Well, I'm holding here uh ladies and gentlemen, my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
I have one, two, three pictures.
Well, I've got four, but I got three pictures of uh the Bret girl John Edwards on his poverty tour in New Orleans ninth ward today.
And I will uh we'll get these so they're Yahoo news photos.
So I've we'll find these photos and uh we'll uh put them up on our website.
Greetings and welcome back.
Nice to have you with us.
Uh a brand new week of broadcast excellence underway from here at the EIB Southern Command.
I am L. Rushball behind this, the Golden EIB microphone, uh, here at the prestigious and distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A phone number if you want to be in the program today, 800 282-2882 and the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Before we get to the Breck Girls Poverty Tour, I have some Breck Girls stories here about the poverty tour.
Let's see uh.
Yeah, uh first off, this was this is from four days ago.
Uh Chapel Hill is uh the dateline here.
Uh Thursday marked the second.
Last Thursday marked the second postal scare in four months at John Edwards campaign headquarters in Chapel Hill.
And uh, you know, I I think Edwards he just needs to clue his staff in when the Avon products are arriving, and they'll get rid of half of these incidents, if not all of them.
Uh both both these uh postal incidents uh proved to be harmless, but for businesses in Southern Village.
Edwards headquarters is becoming more of a nuisance.
Businesses complain that they're losing money.
Some of them have to be shut down for the day whenever there's one of these postal scares.
Business owners say they're tired of the scares, tired of the business day interruptions.
One business owner plans to do something about it.
Dr. Annalise Harden, who runs a pediatric dentist office in the same floor as Edwards campaign headquarters, said that she's had enough of bomb scares and evacuations.
Her office plans to draft a letter to the building's management expressing frustration about the loss of business, and she wants other companies uh in Southern Village to sign up the letter.
Not as sign the letter.
This is not that big a deal, except this.
When these people in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, are getting mad at the Breck Girl.
You know you are in deep doo doo.
They ought to be so accommodating and understanding.
They ought to the Breck Girl's their guy.
Um and this this cannot bode well uh for the Breck girl uh all over the place of his own of his own supporters, and I'm basing the fact that they're in the same geographic, and I know what Chapel Hill is.
I mean, that's that's not good news.
Um New York Times today.
Edwards embarks on tour in Oh, by the way, we our microphones were there when that when that poverty tour started today.
Uh we we have that handy.
We played it in the first hour.
Yeah, here's how the Edwards poverty tour actually started.
And that's how it started.
Oh, what a great bumper tune to come up at a rotation.
Stupid girl.
Okay, the New York Times reports today that the Edwards campaign lined up more than 40 news organizations for the poverty tour.
Uh and reporters in the Edwardses will travel in a chartered jet.
And they were on Good Morning America today to discuss a uh the poverty tour.
Uh at town halls.
Um, nobody's asking him about poverty.
He doesn't make it his big issues in Good Morning America today.
They didn't ask him much about poverty, asked him about the wall.
Uh and uh and other things.
Um there's a professor in this story uh that uh Dennis Goldford, a professor of political science at Drake University in Des Moines said most people who turn out to vote do not think of themselves as poor and do not identify with the message, even if they may be poor.
They don't think they are.
They don't think he's talking to them.
That political scientist says so.
Now here's this is another one.
Uh this is from uh what's this website?
Uh oh, it's a television station.
Somewhere.
Elizabeth Edwards says that the idea that gay marriage threatens heterosexual marriage is complete nonsense.
Edwards reiterated her support during a speech in Sacramento, saying that she thinks there's an undue fear of gay marriage.
Uh, She appeared last month at a breakfast before San Francisco's gay pride parade where she announced her support for gay marriage.
The next day, her husband, the Bret girl, said that his wife's position surprised even him.
The uh former North Carolina Senator opposes gay marriage but supports civil unions.
His wife's people that is opposed that they're just afraid.
T they're uncomfortable.
Uh and John admitted he was uncomfortable around uh gay people.
And he's back again, by the way.
Here's the headline, make work pay, Edwards says.
Presidential hopeful John Dumber's talking about poverty in uh Good Morning America Town Hall from New Orleans.
But none of the questions he gets are about poverty.
He talks about it, but nobody asks him anything about it.
Uh painting himself here as the populist among the Democrat candidates vying for the nomination.
During the meeting, Edwards was asked to share one solution to eliminating poverty by reporter.
He said, I if I had to pick one, it would be to make work pay.
And that there are ways to do that, he said.
raise the national minimum wage, increase the earned income tax credit, and allow workers to organize unions and collectively bargain for better wages.
Asked him, what about improving education?
Well, the government needs to make a bigger investment in early childhood education and give incentive uh to pay the best teachers, and uh especially ones who work in low income areas.
Make work pay.
We've already had our our fun with that.
Um you know what we need to do.
Here's the line.
We need to make work pay you what work pays Edwards.
I got these pictures here.
He's on a poverty tour.
And the first picture, he's on a street in the ninth ward, and he's talking to a woman wearing an acorn shirt, which is a liberal activist group.
Uh she's pointing out nothing because there's nothing there to point out.
Uh, hair looks great.
He's wearing uh cool little blue jeans, uh matching little light blue uh Oxford uh sleeves rolled up.
Looks cool.
Um black loafers.
This woman that he's walking with is a tub.
I mean, she is fat.
This is a poverty tour.
The next picture is of Edwards and his wife walking, uh no big deal there.
She's looking at him, he's not looking at her.
The next picture is Edwards watching and laughing while his wife talks to another resident of the ninth ward, another obese tub.
The last picture is of Edward's.
Uh I swear when you look at this picture, you will think that he's got his hand in a part of her anatomy where it shouldn't be, where the bra is.
But it would be hard to know because this woman is so big that it it's she doesn't, I mean, the this is a poverty tour.
And and Edwards is surrounded by fat people on the on the I'm not I'm not commenting on the people.
I'm not making fun of them.
Don't misunderstand folks.
I'm just saying there's there's something about this that doesn't work.
We may have to do our own poverty tour.
I I you know, see people are people are are gonna get the wrong idea about this.
Uh I'm the we and we can do a poverty tour to cover much more ground than the Brett Girls, and that's his have you people go out in the blue states.
What we need to do is focus on blue state poverty, where the Democrats have been running these cities and running these towns where the leftists and the liberals have been in total control, and then send those of you who live out there in those blue states and blue cities into areas that uh uh you consider to be underprivileged or whatever, and say take pictures.
And uh don't do it yet because we got no way to receive the pictures, but then send a picture we can post them on our website.
Uh and do our own virtual poverty tour and have have far more impact and point out where it is.
I hate to tell you, but New Orleans have been run by Democrats for as long as there's been New Orleans.
Well, aside from when the French ran a place, but they were probably a bunch of socialists too back then.
The bottom line was that there is poverty out there, and we've had poverty program after poverty program after poverty program, and now we got a presidential candidate whose idea to solve it is to make work pay.
Let's listen to a couple sound bites from Good Morning America today.
Diane Sawyer said the president says that you either think it's lost uh or victory is still possible.
Do you think victory is still possible military?
You got this question on Good Morning America on his poverty tour.
Depends on your definition of victory.
No, military victory.
There never was a possibility of a military victory.
I mean, basically what's happening is the Shia and the Sunni have a political conflict.
That conflict is at the base of all the violence in Iraq.
Unless and until that conflict is resolved by the Iraqis, there's going to continue to be violence.
Such short-sightedness.
Such tr this is just dense.
Just dense.
Next question, if I can about terrorism, Breck Girl.
At one point you suggested a war on terror as a phrase as a slogan used by the administration.
Aren't we in a war on terror in America?
What I was saying, and I stand by it, is the President of this administration have used this term, global war on terror, to justify everything they do, ranging from the war in Iraq to Guantanamo to torture to illegal spying on the American people.
And what I have said is terrorism a very serious threat and an immediate threat.
It absolutely is.
And as President, I would go after these terrorists, find them and stop them and keep the American people safe.
How?
But what's been missing is any sort of long-term strategy to undermine the forces of terrorism.
Global poverty, spread of disease, all those things that contribute to the to the efforts of terrorists to recruit.
This is pretty dangerous because he hasn't the slightest clue.
Those doctors, those doctors in Great Britain tried to blow up the car, the uh uh the airport, and the the the nightclub did not come from poverty.
Bin Laden and Zawahiri do not come from poverty.
This is an ideological enemy that we've got.
They have a vision, and they get these young kids as soon as they're born, and they start filling them with rage and hate and so forth, and that's how they recruit.
This idea that we we're we're creating all these people because we're not doing enough to stop uh world poverty.
If this were true, every poor person would be the biggest criminal on the face of the earth, and it would have been the case throughout human history.
It's not the case.
Quick timeout back after this.
And we are back.
El Rushball on the cutting edge, utilizing talent on lawn from God.
Doug in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
Hey, I want to draw uh just uh uh stark contrast um with what's going on in in Iraq uh with the U.S. military versus Islamic terrorist.
MSNBC had on its uh cover story today on the web.
They have a picture of an American soldier and they have some Iraqi children smiling, and it says charity begins at war.
And you know, if if you go to the right sources, there's ever since this war started, there's been a lot of pictures of how our soldiers have tried to reach out to the community.
You contrast that with what Islamic terrorism looks like, and you take that same child and you try to put a blow-up vest and you explain to that little kid, go stand by those American soldiers, and when you pull this string, flowers will pop out.
That story that came out in the media about a month ago.
Right.
And it's such a strong contrast about what this is about.
And I get frustrated talking to people, and they're so simplistic, and the war is so much based on feelings.
Well, if you want to take feelings to justify being in a war, look what our American soldiers are all about.
Look what our country's all about, just in that act of charity versus what you know, Islamic terrorism is all about.
You gotta you gotta understand how the people you're talking about react to those people.
You can show them those pictures.
And you know what they'd say, that's nothing more than PR.
Everybody knows the military is evil.
Everybody knows the military is just a bunch of murderers.
That's just a stage photo to try to make me change my mind, but they can't fool me.
These people have, the people you're talking about, have an institutional hatred for the military as an institution.
They hate it.
They love it when it fails.
They they uh the the worst thing that can happen to these kind of people is military success.
They just it's hard to understand.
Um these are the same people that have uh an institutional hatred or dislike for the current structure of this country, want to change it.
The traditions, institutions, whatever that made it great, and they don't like them.
They're leftists.
Uh they're they're they're collectively miserable and unhappy, and they want everybody else to join them in that.
And it's uh nothing's nothing is is going to change.
They though those it's why those people continue uh to be a minority, but it's also why we have to continue to beat them in the political sense uh and their representatives at the uh at the ballot box.
It's uh there's there's no way you're gonna change these people's minds on things.
They have to do it themselves.
And in some instances it does happen, but they are uh they're they're inexplicable to to somebody who considers themselves a decent patriotic, you know, warm-hearted, good good guy American.
You don't understand these people.
Uh look at some of the conspiracy theories they come up with to uh to to justify their their hatred and keep it going.
But you're right in the in the in the description that you make, but those kind of pictures are rare.
And notice that those pictures are on MSNBC's website, they're not on NBC television.
Uh so there's it's uh the drive by scan, uh, we're putting some of the good news out.
Uh who's next?
Craig in uh in uh Hazlet, Michigan, or is it Hazlitt, Michigan?
Hi, Rush Mega Ditto from a second time caller, and uh thanks for the good work you do for our country and the world.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Um you you raised some points about our cost in World War II and fighting for freedom.
It reminded me of a history channel program I saw regarding the reconstruction South after the Civil War, and not only the cost of the investment we made as we as a country made in reconstructing the South, but the loss of life from the terrorist uh Kuka's clan that were going around killing and murdering um elected officials,
army personnel, local citizens, and I haven't really seen a good comparison to that that loss and that cost to fight for the freedom in the South, as we have in Iraq.
Uh yeah, I didn't catch all of what you said because of a bad phone connection.
Uh I backed off my sorry.
Are you there?
Okay.
So you're you're you're talking about uh the the casualties in the Civil War and all the money that was spent reconstructing the South.
But what what's the connection to Iraq?
Well, if you look at if you look at just the reconstruct the reconstruction in the South after the Civil War, the millions of dollars spent by the federal government, but but more comparison like is the loss of life with the Klu Kup's clan running around killing hundreds and hundreds of civilians and elected officials and African Americans and Yeah, but okay.
But here's the thing.
Here's the dirty little secret about the Klan.
They were mostly Democrats.
Right.
The Klan was mostly Democrats.
Right.
So they were labeled what were they the Klan has been labeled as terrorists in domestic terrorists.
Um really they're but but we don't call them insurgents.
We don't try to portray them as freedom fighters.
Uh well, no, but but they we get we got a Republican president in the uh in the White House.
We've got I've I'm getting I'm getting blue in the face uh repeating this this uh this this story.
I know you're making a good point and uh and and uh uh you think a valid comparison it is to people with an open mind and and uh who uh actually don't know much about history.
I mean to go nuts over thirty-six hundred war deaths and casualties, not all of them uh in combat, uh, and and not know that we lost five hundred thousand Americans in the Civil War and the the death null uh death toll in uh in World War II uh is to simply have no context and to have no perspective on things.
But aside from all that, it's not even the deaths, it's just a drumbeat of bad news, and people are saying, I don't want to hear it anymore.
I don't want to hear about it, I don't want to hear about it, get the troops home.
It's it's uh an act of selfishness without any kind of clue of the consequences of pulling out.
Back in a sec.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
It's a habit.
And in Newport Richie, Florida, this is Bill.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
I used to be a liberal, but I'm all right now ditto to you, Rush.
Well, thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Ross, I remember listening to you last week when you were talking about the uh benchmarks imposed upon uh the Iraqi government.
This has to get done, that has to get done.
And you asked the question, what has our Congress done?
What have they done?
Well, lo and behold, on Fox News Sunday, sitting in for Chris Wallace was Britt Hume, and he had one of my personal favorites, Carl Levinon.
Yeah.
Uh, and he asked the same question, what have you guys done?
And they did a split screen.
And Britt Hume had this boyish grin on his face when he asked the question.
And Carl Levin kind of started shaking and started blathering this and that and mentioned the minimum wage a couple of times.
And uh it was very illustrative about how you are on the cutting edge.
Well, it's just that's the way these things fall out.
It's the way these things shake out.
It was it was such a happy thing for me that uh after Fox News Sunday ended, I tend off the TV.
Normally I will turn to another network to catch maybe Stephanopoulos or that total loss from holy cross there, Chris Matthews.
But I didn't want to be depressed.
It was just a joyous day.
It was it was limbla echo syndrome all over again.
Yes, it's that's exactly what it is out there.
But this is a question anybody can come with.
You guys are given the Iraqi government all these benchmarks.
They got to do this and this and this, and they got to do it in a record amount of time.
And if they don't do it, then we're pulling out, and you guys aren't worth it.
And they make, and these are a bunch of liberals in Congress putting these benchmarks together, and they make them so high there's no way they can do it, but they couldn't do anything themselves here.
They haven't done diddly squat.
Three hundred investigations of 100 days, minimum wage bill, yip, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
Who are they?
This is what I asked on Friday.
Who are these guys?
Who is our Congressman telling anybody else how to do it?
The Iraqi Parliament has higher approval numbers among Iraqis than the U.S. Congress here has among the uh American people.

It's time for a global warming update.
Algore.
And ball of fire.
Yes, I noticed this.
The name of the group here is Rare Earth.
Tunes from 1968.
It's called Get Ready.
Temptations did this song first.
And this is a Motown group, one of their sub labels.
I have the most incredible story here.
This is actually from a couple days ago, uh, on July 14th.
It's uh newsweek, published on the MSNBC website.
The headline is After We Are Gone.
The subhead is Humans Were Evacuated, the Earth Would Flourish.
This is a serious story about how great the planet could be again if we were just all wiped out, and it focuses on a guy who's trying to accomplish that and deals with it genuinely and seriously.
Let me read you a few short excerpts.
The second coming may be the most widely anticipated apocalypse ever, but it's far from the only version of the end times.
Environmentalists have their own vision, a vision of a world not consumed by holy fire, but returned to ecological Balance by the removal of the most disruptive species in history.
That of course would be us.
The six billion furiously metabolizing and reproducing human beings polluting its surface.
There's even a group trying to bring it about.
The voluntary human extinction movement, whose website calls on people to stop having children altogether, and now the journalist Alan Weisman has produced, if not a Bible, at least a book of revelation, The World Without Us, which conjures up a future something like, well, like the area around Chernobyl, the Russian nuclear reactor that blew off a cloud of radioactive steam in 1986.
In a radius of 30 kilometers, there are no human settlements, just forests that have begun reclaiming fields and towns, home to birds, deer, wild boar, and moose.
Weisman's intriguing thought experiment is to ask what would happen.
Intriguing thought experiment.
Intriguing thought experiment.
This is uh this is a lunatic.
Somebody that needs to be institutionalized is being given credibility by the drive-by media.
His intriguing thought experiment is to ask what would happen if the rest of the earth was similar similarly evacuated, not by a nuclear holocaust or natural disaster, but by whisking people off in spaceships or killing them with a virus that spares the rest of the biosphere.
In a world with no one to put out fires or repair dams or plow fields, what would become of the immense infrastructure humans have woven across the globe?
Well, in a matter of days or weeks, nuclear power plants around the world would boil off their water and melt into vast radioactive lumps.
Electrical power would fail, and with it, the pumps keeping New York City subways from flooding.
In a few years, Lexington Avenue would collapse and eventually turn into a river.
Lightning caused fires would blow out windows in skyscrapers.
Concrete floors would freeze and buckle.
A few centuries on steel bridges would fall victim to rust and the inexorable assault of vegetation taking root in wind blown clumps of soot.
Masonry structures would last the longest, although the next ice age and wipe them out, at least at the latitude of New York.
Bronze sculpture Weissman estimates still be recognizable ten million years into the future, probably the last recognizable artifacts of our civilization.
And what of the biosphere?
Well, unless global warming has already progressed beyond the point of no return, it would eventually recover much of its diversity and richness.
Contrary to widespread belief, cockroaches would not take over the world if there were no one around to step on them.
Tropical insects, uh, they wouldn't survive the first winter without central heating.
Rats and dogs would miss us the most, it seems, the former of our garbage, the latter our protection from bigger predators.
Feral cats, on the other hand, would do quite well.
There'd be plenty of birds for them to eat.
Elephants would once again have the run of Africa, the oceans would be filled with fish as few alive have ever seen them.
Much of the world would come to resemble, well, the Korean demilitarized zone, where no one set foot for more than 50 years.
Now a Mecca for Korean bird watchers.
Sound appealing?
Well, it did to Weisman, too, when he began to work on the book four years ago.
And four out of five of the people he's told about it, he estimates, thought the idea sounded wonderful.
Since we're headed inexorably toward an environmental crash anyway, why not get it over cleanly and allow the world to heal?
Over time, Weisman's attitude toward the rest of humanity softened, though, as he thought of some of the beautiful things human beings have accomplished, their architecture and poetry, and he eventually arrived at what he views as a compromise position.
A worldwide voluntary agreement to limit each human couple to one kid.
This would stabilize a human population by the end of the century at about 1.6 billion, approximately where it was in 1900.
Uh I don't know that he's a comic chug.
I never heard of this clown.
All I know is that he's got a book and Newsweek is treating this as legitimately as they created these uh treated these wackos that wanted to assassinate Bush.
As legitimately as they did the director who made the movie about assassinating Bush.
A virus that wipes us all out?
It's gonna happen anyway.
Global warming is gonna wipe us out.
Why not do it painlessly and quickly?
And come up with a way that'll spare every other living organism but humanity.
I have warned you people about this for 18 years.
This is where these people have been headed.
And the thing is, they're not left out of um, they're not left out of the room.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine if I on this program suggested wiping out four and a half billion people?
You imagine what the reaction would be?
Oh, yes, you can.
It certainly wouldn't be treated with respect and credibility, and no one would be intellectually curious to examine this idea.
But this guy comes along and does it.
How does a guy write a story like this?
He's writing about some clown that wants to kill him, wipe him off the face of the earth.
And this Weissman guy, the subject of the story, acts like he's not even part of the human race.
They but never us, in his words.
Back in a second.
This next story came out uh after the program on Friday of last week.
It's a Rasmussen reports story, and it uh it shows that by a 39% to 20% margin, American adults now believe that three major broadcast networks deliver news with a bias in favor of liberals.
It's a national survey by the Rasmussen people found that just twenty-five percent of uh viewers believe it uh ABC, CBS, and NBC delivered news without any bias.
Similar results found for CNN and uh national public radio by a margin of thirty-three to sixteen percent.
Americans say that CNN is liberal.
The nation's adults say the same thing about NPR by a twenty-seven to fourteen percent margin.
Uh there is one major exception to the belief that media outlets have a liberal bias, and that's Fox News.
Thirty-one percent of Americans say it has a bias that favors conservatives, while 15% say it has a liberal bias.
Uh I'm I'm uh I I'm glad this is finally starting to break through to the masses.
Uh numbers are not uh big, but they're not insignificant either.
By the way, uh, you know, we love to talk about good news on this program in the economy and and and especially when the economy is uh uh regularly disparaged incorrectly.
Uh this is from U.S. News and World Report.
Uh and it's a story about the global economy booming as worldwide tax rates are falling.
The world economy is growing at a five percent rate.
The study comes from a the uh Federal Reserve Bank of uh of Minneapolis.
Global economy booming.
And you might say to yourself when you hear news like this, well, it isn't booming for me.
Well, it is booming, make it happen for you.
You got a booming economy out there, it's inviting you in.
But Royce is leaving me behind, it's leaving me.
No, it's not.
You're leaving yourself behind.
You're leaving yourself out.
The economy's waiting for you.
It's just it's it's just wagging its finger at you once you come on in.
It's doing so good, it's doing so great, but you get yourself all bogged down with negative attitudes and defeatism and uh get a little envious or jealous of people you think doing better than you, you're gonna be being paralyzed.
It's a great opportunity out there.
It always is in America.
I don't even we go through recessions.
More opportunity in this country than you'll ever find in the course uh of human civilization.
All right, one one more let's share Jim in uh in Lakewood, Ohio.
We'll go back to the phones.
Welcome to you, sir.
Hello, uh Rush.
You know, regarding your opening comments on tall people becoming fewer and fewer.
You know, have you noticed that there's not a lot of tall older people?
So I submit that it isn't just coincidence.
I I I really think it's a survival concept, natural selection, if you will, that we've stabilized.
And it's is and it's not imperative that we be tall.
But I mean, if you look at all the people that have been tall that we kind of know, like Fred Gwynn from the Monsters, he had an acromegaly, which is, you know, a uh a disorder from the excess of serotonin, uh, a growth hormone.
And even Will Chamberlain died kind of young because he had.
Yeah, but that was all the sex.
Maybe, maybe, but but but at the same time, we still don't see a lot of tall older people.
I mean, some people would uh kind of go with the idea that that uh they make better targets because they're if they're in the military, they don't have a lot of tall guys on the on the police force because they make better targets.
But other than that, there's a What are you saying?
Let's cut to the ch You're saying it tall people.
You know, a couple couple Inches or more over average, above average, have something genetically wrong and they die sooner?
I yes they do.
Yes, they do.
I think it's natural selection.
I do believe that it's something that we have no real kind of control over.
But I mean, even uh President Lincoln, I mean he his life was cut short because of an assassin's bullet, but there were talks that he had Marfan syndrome, which is a connective tissue.
Yeah, but there's also been talk that he was gay.
I mean, the the the these leftist groups try uh well, there was.
There was.
It was but you may have a point when you say you don't see a whole lot of elderly tall people.
Yeah, because I do believe, because of natural selection, that there is no particular need for people to get tall and then grow older.
I think that there is a I I used to go to a museum and stare in the reflection of Knights of Armor, and these guys were short back then.
Oh, I know, I know.
Well, they were youth.
Use those things are the if if you f if you look at a genuine one, uh and you you're talking about the uh the the medieval period when people wore those things.
They were kids, they were youth, and then the diet they had back then was, you know, twigs and berries and stuff, but you're right, they were tiny.
They were tiny people.
I death that's right.
I agree.
And I I think that I think that when when I I have seen people, because I work as a healthcare professional, and when I see people that have Marfan syndrome or they have elongated arms, bones are tall, but they also have a tendency to get certain uh particular diseases.
Well, look, I gotta shut this down because uh tell people in this I got time problem coming out.
I don't want tall people getting scared uh over this.
That it's there's enough bombarding people out there without telling them this.
Especially since uh we're just we're just speculating.
Got a uh quickscade out of here, folks.
I'll be right back and wrap it up.
Well, that's it, folks.
Another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence, taking a brief hiatus.
Twenty one hours.
