By the way, folks, I may have to revise my final comment a previous hour where I says, I understand that the local prosecutors, guys like Nyphong, are different than the feds.
I mean, the feds are generally better at this.
But I was reminded of the scooter libby situation.
So.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back.

One more little dog story because Chihuahuas took a rap in the earlier hour and they've got a heartwarming story here about a Chihuahua, the ankle biter.
Zoe is a Chihuahua, but this is from Masonville, Colorado, when a rattlesnake lunged at her owner's one-year-old grandson, Zoe the Chihuahua, was a real bulldog.
Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado backyard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck.
Five-pound Zoe, the ankle-biting chihuahua, jumped in the way and took the bites.
She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe.
The dog required treatment, and for a time it appeared she might not survive.
Now she prances about.
Heartwarming story.
By the way, have you seen the story about that cat?
Beautiful cat.
People at a nursing home have figured out this cat knows when residents at a nursing home are going to pass away.
It gets up on their beds and cuddles up.
And they have figured out the cat knows.
This is definitely a cat you do not want around you.
All right.
The witch hunt is on for Alberto Gonzalez.
Democrats have demanded a special counsel, an independent prosecutor, to look into whether or not Alberto Gonzalez committed perjury in his testimony before Senate Committee on the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.
Here is some sound bites.
First, from Senator Chuck Schumer this morning during a press conference.
Earlier this week, Attorney General Gonzalez testified before the Judiciary Committee, and his inability to answer simple and straightforward questions was just stunning.
The Attorney General took an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Instead, he tells the half-truth, the partial truth, and everything but the truth.
And he does it not once and not twice, but over and over and over again.
His instinct is not to tell the truth, but to dissemble and deceive.
As I said yesterday, it's the Democrats in Congress that are out of control.
They say Bush is violating all these personal rights and so forth.
It's the Congress.
It's out of control.
This is just over the top from securing defeat in Iraq to hassling the administration with all these investigations, the shortage of subpoena forms.
Here's more from Schumer.
We had all hoped that it wouldn't come to this.
Oh, yeah, right.
We simply cannot let this abuse of power continue unchecked.
Oh, the only thing missing there is the tear rolling down the cheek.
Oh, we all hoped it wouldn't come to this.
We simply cannot let this abuse of power continue unchecked.
George W. Bush can fire anybody he wants.
There is no crime.
Once again, the Democrats are trying to set up a scooter-libby process crime here by bringing Gonzalez up and asking him all these questions over and over again.
Here is John Conyers.
This is yesterday during a Judiciary Committee hearing on the U.S. Attorney firings.
Conyers had this to say about the chief of staff of the White House, Josh Bolton, and former White House Counsel Harriet Myers ignoring his committee's subpoena.
Where our subpoenas can be readily ignored, where a witness under a duly authorized subpoena doesn't even have to bother to show up, where privilege can be asserted on the thinnest basis and in the broadest possible manner, then we've already lost.
Lost what?
You've lost your attempt here to embarrass these people?
What have we lost here?
Harriet Myers doesn't have to say a word to anybody.
She's the president's lawyer.
Lawyer client privilege anybody?
And Josh Bolton, same thing, chief of staff.
As I say, we linked to the best piece on this executive privilege claim that the White House has made for these two people by John Yoo.
It was in the Wall Street Journal a couple days ago, someday earlier this week.
And it is, as far as what I've read, it's a definitive piece on who's in the right here.
So yesterday during the White House press briefing, Tony Snow took a question about the contempt of Congress charges against Myers and Josh Bolton.
Here's a portion of what he said.
In our view, this is pathetic.
What you have right now is partisanship on Capitol Hill that quite often boils down to insults, insinuations, inquisitions, and investigations rather than pursuing the normal business of trying to pass major pieces of legislation such as appropriations bills and to try to work in such a way as to demonstrate to the American people that Congress and the White House can work together.
But apparently it didn't work and it's not working.
Here's more from Tony Snow.
As I said, we maintain our position of accommodation toward the House of Representatives.
But make no mistake, based on legal precedent, this is something that the drafters of this particular referral know has very little chance of going anywhere.
And so the question is, why are they doing this rather than the people's business?
Precisely.
It has no chance of going anywhere.
They're going to lose this.
This can be dragged out for 18 months anyway in the legal fight with paperwork and motions and all this sort of stuff.
They know it's not going to go anywhere.
So why are they doing it rather than the people's business?
Frankly, I'm sort of glad they're doing this.
I hate that Bush and his buddies are taking a hit on this, but the more they do this kind of stuff, the less damage they can do with their kind of legislation.
One of the reasons they're not doing any legislation, they can't get anything passed.
Minimum wage bill, they threw a party for it yesterday.
Yip, yip, yip, yip, yahoo.
They can't get anything done.
They can't get their war resolutions passed.
They can't defund the war.
They can't do diddly squat, folks.
Couldn't do anything on immigration.
The Democrats are stuck in a 1968 mentality.
And something else that Tony Snow said, this was in his opening statement.
More than 300 executive branch investigations or inquiries, 400 requests for documents, interviews, or testimony.
We've had more than 550 officials testify.
We've had more than 600 oversight hearings.
87,000 plus hours spent responding to oversight requests from Congress.
And 430,000 pages made available to Congress for oversight.
That's pretty significant.
In fact, the 87,000 hours that we mentioned that have been used in document production, that's equal to more than nine and a half years.
And here's your graphic of the day, ladies and gentlemen.
If you took those 430,000 pages, stack them on top of each other, they would reach a height twice that of the executive mansion itself.
He was trying to illustrate how cooperative they've been, how much time they've had to spend responding the 87,000 hours, man hours, to all of these requests and demands that Congress has made.
And despite all that, nothing has come from these hearings except a waste of time and a lack of legislation, which is, as I say, is a good thing.
This is nothing more than pure harassment.
It's the attempt on the part of Democrats in the House and the Senate to continue this program of theirs, their plan to make a Bush administration and thus all Republicans appear to be totally corrupt.
It's right out of the old playbook.
They're trying to make this, this is Watergate all over.
They're attempting to go back and end the war as though it were Vietnam and get rid of this administration as though it is Nixon.
Now, speaking of Nixon, if you want to see something Nixonian going on, take a look at the governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer, whose special, I don't forget his staff members, organized a hit on a Republican Senate leader, Joseph Bruno, totally manufacturing evidence, totally making it up.
Spitzer said he didn't know about it, but it's Nixonian.
And it's a Democrat doing it.
The governor of New York and even his own attorney general, Andrew Kumo, a Democrat, issued a blistering report saying that this is unconscionable what has come out of the governor's office on this.
And so, once again, it's projection.
The Democrats accusing Republicans and Bush of doing what they actually do.
Something else in this.
Henry Waxman, who heads oversight in the House, he has been plotting this revenge ever since the Clinton administration and all of the investigations by Dan Burton.
Dan Burton used to run the committee from Indiana, used to run the committee that Henry Waxman now heads up.
And Burton was demanding evidence and emails from the White House on illegal foreign campaign contributions, i.e. from CHICOMs.
And Henry Waxman has been plotting ever since this happened when he got his committee chairmanship back when the House was procured once again to the Democrats.
He's been plotting this kind of strategy and behavior, and he's in the middle of executing it now.
So this is liberal payback.
You don't do this to us.
You don't challenge our power.
You don't challenge our authority.
If you do, we'll pay you back the next minute we get.
And that's precisely what's happening with not a whole lot of progress.
One more, let's say a couple more soundbites.
Let's go to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Tuesday, and Schumer was questioning Gonzalez, the Attorney General.
Here's a portion of their exchange.
Disagreement on the 10th was about other intelligence activities.
Not about the TSP.
Yes or no?
The disagreement and the reason we had to go to the hospital had to do with other intelligence activities.
Was it about the TSP?
Yes or no, please?
That's vital to whether you're telling the truth to this committee.
It was about other intelligence activities.
And this is when Ashcroft was in the hospital and they went up there.
They were trying to get authorization for him to sign something.
Schumer then had a retort.
John Roberts this morning on CNN said, so did Gonzalez lie to you.
Well, it's looking like that.
It sure is.
And unfortunately, this isn't the only time that this has happened.
In his testimony, there are so many instances where he doesn't tell the truth to the committee and then says, well, he sends in a correction later or tries to parse it in a different way.
But he is just not being straight with this committee in terms of telling the truth.
And we are frustrated as could be.
John, I have been in Washington 27 years, and I have never seen anything like this.
Spare me.
Been in Washington 27 years and you've never seen anything like this.
This is nothing.
And we'll be right back.
Sit tight.
Hang on, folks.
Late-arriving show prep here.
Senator Pat Leakey Leahy has issued a subpoena for Carl Rove now, issuing a subpoena today for him to testify about the firing of several U.S. attorneys.
Leahy said the evidence shows that senior White House political operators are focused on the political impact of federal prosecutions and whether federal prosecutors are doing enough to bring partisan voter fraud and corruption cases.
There is no crime here, ladies and gentlemen.
The president, these U.S. attorneys, serve at his pleasure.
I know that's exactly right.
There is no way a court is going to rule against executive.
Well, depending on the judge.
But it depends on how much payback.
If it's a liberal judge, depends on how much payback the liberal judge wants to exact for what happened.
You know, these people put their personal policy preferences over to law a lot of times.
I mean, all things being normal, in a normal political environment, if there's such a thing, there's no judge that would find for Congress in this executive privilege fight.
No way whatsoever.
But, you know, I want to try to put this in a little bit of a different perspective.
Even as the Democrats are playing politics by accusing Bush of playing politics, who's really playing politics?
It's a Democrat.
It's a total political game, and you're accusing Bush of doing it.
You know, we sit here, we watch the low-class lynching of the Attorney General, and you ask a question: is this an attack or a defense?
Is this a diss or is it a tribute?
For example, if I were to tell you Alberto Gonzalez is no Janet Reno, does that insult him or praise him?
Well, in my mind, it praises him.
Does that give his persecutors a reality check?
I don't think so.
But I mean, you want to draw a comparison between Gonzalez and Janet Reno?
You talk about somebody who was just there as a figurehead.
Underlings were actually doing the work.
She was just there.
She was appointed for all the obvious reasons.
How about this?
One of the underlings working for Janet Reno was Webb Hubble.
We could say Alberto Gonzalez is no Webb Hubble.
Is that an insult to Gonzalez or is it praise?
I think it's praise.
You could say Alberto Gonzalez is no Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General of Kennedy years.
Or maybe Johnson years.
I don't know.
But the fact is, is that an insult or a praise of Alberto Gonzalez?
And how about this?
Alberto Gonzalez is no Bobby Kennedy.
Rush.
How dare you?
What do you mean?
Well, Alberto Gonzalez never ordered wiretaps of Martin Luther King or of the Reverend Jackson or Al Sharpton.
So here's how it all works, folks.
Alberto Gonzalez, Republican, is bad.
Janet Reno, Democrat, Webb Hubble, Democrat, Ramsey Clark, Democrat, Bobby Kennedy, Democrat, all great.
They brought honor and prestige to the office.
And that is how it works.
Wayne in Prescott, Michigan, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Well, Megadeto's Rush.
I'm soon to be a 19-year listener of you.
Yeah, that'll be August 1st, 19th anniversary coming up.
Yes, sir.
Anyway, you were speaking yesterday about the FDA taking over control of the tobacco industry as far as the dosages go.
I'm just wondering, there's no best second-hand pointed out to secondhand smoke causing any deaths.
But alcohol, they'll allow alcohol to be served in the public.
A guy can go and get blitzed and he can go out and kill somebody.
I just don't understand why they're picking on tobacco so much.
Well, as I puff on my soon-to-be $10 taxed cigar, there is no political aim here in attacking big booze.
Big booze has somehow remained immune.
Well, is it because smokers are a minority and alcohol users are probably not a minority?
No, I think it's because a lot of liberals drink.
A lot of liberals consume adult beverages, but they don't smoke.
And so they're not going to go after something that they use.
They're not going to go after something that they do.
That's it exactly.
And that's my point, is that they want to go after firearms, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and they'll go after tobacco and firearms, but not something that kills a lot of innocent people.
Well, there's another thing, too.
The Kennedy family, I don't know if this is still accurate, but the Kennedy Trust at one time, you know, old Joe got his start as a bootlegger.
Sure.
And they at one time received the import duty on every bottle of scotch that came into the United States of America.
I don't know if they still do.
This is some years ago.
But, you know, the Kennedy family has interests in the sale and the import and sale of adult beverages.
I don't think anybody's going to target it.
Not the way that, I mean, there are regulations.
It can't be advertised as extensively.
Sure.
Well, distilled spirits can't.
But they probably have a much better lobbying operation than big tobacco does.
And, of course, alcohol can kill quicker than tobacco can.
There's all kinds of hypocritical inconsistencies with this, which is what you, a soon-to-be 19-year listener, are cleverly and astutely pointing out.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And I just can't understand it.
When you find these things that you can't understand, the rule of thumb works almost every time it's tried.
Go to liberalism and liberals and examine what they do and what they don't do and how they think and don't think and feel.
And so you'll get close to these answers.
Yes, absolutely correct.
That is exactly what happens on this program, real life.
Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, to Long Meadow, Massachusetts, this is Bernice.
Bernice, nice to have you on the program.
Hi, Rush.
I've been listening to you for many, many, many years.
And I've heard a lot of soundbites on your show today and was wondering why you don't play any sound bites of Bruce Fine, who's been on the Tom Shelves lately, and he was the Assistant Attorney General for Ronald Reagan when he was president.
As I'm sure you know.
Wait, wait, wait, a second here, Bernice.
Ruth is a he?
No, Bruce.
Bruce.
Bruce Fine.
Fine, yes.
Bruce Fine.
I haven't heard what he has said about this.
He's calling for the impeachment.
I know what he's saying.
I just call it.
I thought you said you hadn't heard what he said.
Because it isn't going to happen.
Well, whether it's not going to happen or not, he makes a lot of sense for the reasons why he's calling for the impeachment.
All right.
Joe, even though he is.
All right.
All right, Bernice.
Joe, get me some Bruce Fine comments.
Get me some Bruce Fine audio.
And get Bruce something to eat.
He's too thin.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
You're still carrying the water for George Bush, aren't you?
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure they're.
Did you happen to know a woman named Carolyn who lived off the Moss Turnpike?
No.
She used to call here.
She sadly passed away.
Well, I know Carolyn, but she's very much alive.
Well, this is not the same Carolyn then.
No, I guess not.
Okay, so you want to hear some Bruce Fine audio soundbites on why the president's.
I would love to hear that.
I'm legally blind, so I can't read.
Well, wait, but you've already heard them.
Why do you want to hear them on this?
Well, I think your audience should hear a different point of view, because the stuff you're stealing to them is garbage.
It's trash.
You're adeing to them as garbage.
The truth comes out.
If you sit here long enough with a liberal, regardless where they're from.
Oh, I'm not denying I'm a liberal, but I like to listen to both sides of the story in case somebody has to.
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something, Bernice.
You get both sides on this program.
I am more honest about what's happening.
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
I bet it is.
Bernice, I am more honest about what liberals think and say than they are.
I present their side on this program in order to present my side so I can nuke theirs.
No, you just played.
Most of the soundbites.
I'm not a part of the sound bites.
You get some people on other progressive talk shows who make a lot of things and have a lot of sound.
Bernice, you are talking to the most listened-to radio talk show host in America, and you were trying to get me to do things that would literally destroy my program.
Nobody listens to these progressive talk show people because they sound like you.
All mad and upset and angry and doom and gloom and fed up.
And then you don't want to hear the truth about things.
You only want to hear your side of things.
I have a wonderful life.
I am past 80 years old, and I still care what's going on in this world for my children, my grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren.
I'm happy about that.
Most senior citizens are concerned about themselves.
So that's a great thing that you've done there.
Well, and that's why when I listen to people like you who only trash.
Well, why do you listen?
If you get so exasperated, why do you listen?
I've been listening forever.
I listen to all talk shows.
I see at all different points of view.
This is the one.
You know why I listen?
This is the one that upsets you.
Why do you listen to me?
No, no, I have low blood pressure, and I listen to you to raise it so that it gets to be normal.
Is that okay?
Rush, I want to tell you one thing.
I am the age that your mother would have been if she was alive.
And if you were my son, and if George Bush were my son, I'd be ashamed of both of you.
Oh, now, Bernice.
Yes, I have a son exactly your age.
If I were your son, you would be so proud of me.
I've accomplished things that nobody in this business ever has, and you would be so proud if I were really your son.
Well, I believe that.
I don't believe you mean that.
You're too nice.
I'm 56.
You're too nice a lady to actually mean it.
You're not pulling this off well.
You're really nice, and you're trying to make yourself sound other than that, and you're not.
No, I'm probably the nicest person you ever met in your life.
The kindest, the most generous, and I am willing to do anything within reason for anybody for any good reason.
Your son, notwithstanding, Bernice, you haven't met me, but you will never meet a kinder and more generous human being than I.
I don't know that you will ever have that honor or an experience, but I'd like to meet you someday.
You never know.
Next time up there playing golf, I'll let you know that I'm coming and on the air.
And if you want to come to the golf course or I happen to be playing and track me down, you've got to come unarmed.
But feel free to show up.
I know she's mean-spirited, but she's a seasoned citizen.
And look at how closely she follows this show.
She knows the age my mother would be.
She knows that I'm 56.
This is a closet fan.
She has a closet adoration for me.
She's got a mother-son complex taking it out on me.
In fact, Bernice, I know you're still out there, and I've got to tell you what, my mother was not above criticizing me.
I remember one time I made a comment about Amy Carter and her appearance.
And my mother called after that.
You can't talk about people that way.
You're not going to go anywhere if you make fun of the way people look.
Besides, she said you forgot Margaret Truman.
Todd in Southern California, welcome to the EIB Network.
Thank you for taking my call, sir.
Yes.
Before I get my question, I have a quick question for you.
I've listened to you for quite a while.
Very, very entertaining show.
And I keep hearing people calling it the mega dittos.
What does that refer to?
I hope that's not a stupid question.
Well, I'd be glad to answer it, but if you've been listening a long time, you certainly have heard me explain this.
Have you just forgotten it?
No, believe it or not, all the time.
I've listened to it, never heard that one explained.
All right, here's the explanation.
Back when this show started, August 1st, 1988, it took the nation by storm because there was nothing like it in the national media.
The national media was all liberal.
Here was this conservative program that reflected the views of millions of people.
And as people would call in, the first couple minutes of their call, literally, they'd spend thanking me and talking about how great it was to have something like this on the radio fine.
It was so great.
And I, of course, loved hearing it.
After a while, after about six months, it finally just, it grew old.
It was delaying getting to the discussion of the issues.
A woman called from, I think it was New Hampshire, and after just one of those calls, said ditto to what that guy just said.
So ditto means, I love the program.
Don't ever go away.
It doesn't mean I agree with you.
It doesn't mean that you're always right.
I mean, I love the program.
And then mega dittos means, I really love, I mean, I adore this program.
I mean, it's the only program.
That's what megadittos means.
Well, then let me be the first one to say mega dittos after hearing that for today.
All right, thank you.
I don't want to re-harp on the issue, but I think as talented as you are, as experienced as you are, and as enlightened as you are, I think you're missing this one here with the dogs.
You know, we've been devaluing human life since the beginning of time.
Hitler, Genghis Khan, you can go back and back.
So I think you've missed the point.
Abortion didn't just devalue it from there.
It's been devalued at the beginning of the time.
Don't compare average Americans to Adolf Hitler.
Don't compare average Americans to Genghis Khan or Gengis Khan, as Kerry pronounced.
What I'm talking about here is average Americans.
Look at this is not the only incident that makes me think that there has been a devaluation of human life.
I know there has been.
It's not arguable.
This is, to me, something that's been going on for decades now.
And there are precise reasons for it.
And you can see evidence all over the place for it, other than the outrage over the dog deaths at the Vic Dogfight compound.
Well, again, we've been numb for thousands of years to human suffering.
Animals, only in the past hundred years have we started to really abuse them and misuse them and just do the things that we did.
Well, think about it, Rush, before Todd thought.
I have thought about it.
Todd, I have thought about it.
And the point is, you're talking about the modern-day animal rights movement, which, by the way, quite a contrast.
Animal rights movement and the Pearl Boards.
I don't want to go back to there, though.
This is what I mean by people's historical perspective begins with the day of their birth.
If you think cruelty to animals is something new and revolutionary, and that there was this massive love and oneness and communal living between man and nature, you have got another thing.
I will guarantee you, if the environmentalist wackos ever get their way and revert everybody's lifestyles back to the 1800s and the 1900s, the animal rights people will not put up with what we will have to do to animals in order to survive ourselves.
Back in a second.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Late arriving show prep continues to pour in here to the EIB Southern Command.
Let's see.
Cynthia in Keela, Montana.
I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
You're next.
It's great to have you here with us.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor to speak to you.
I can't tell you.
Thank you very, very, very much.
But I was calling in regards to listening to Senator Schumer, and all I could think of was Hillary.
And I could hear your parody in my mind.
I don't recall.
I don't recall.
And she couldn't remember anything.
And that was grand jury.
That was grand jury testimony.
Yeah.
And may I tell you one other thing that the last caller reminded me of?
Yeah.
Yesterday at work, I worked just part-time, and I tell people all through the day what's going on in politics because I listened to you.
Yes.
And anyway, I had an elderly lady, and she was sweet as could be, started talking about all the deer that keep getting hit on the roads out here.
And I said, well, they just paved our road out here in Kyla, and we are seeing more dead deer on the road because people are driving like 50 in the 35-mile-an-hour zone.
And she said, oh, they've just got to stop killing our wildlife.
And I looked at her and I went, yes, because I'd rather have it in my freezer than bloated on the side of the road.
Oh, my goodness, you should have seen her face.
Good for you.
What'd she do?
She just sputtered.
She's not sure.
By the way, that's great.
Look, Cynthia, thanks very much for the call.
The substitute broadcast engineer, Ed, working today, said that dogfighting, as far as historians have been able to document, had its origins in the Roman Empire.
Now, the Roman Empire, for those of you in Rio Linda's 2000 B.C. up to AD, I probably lost them there too.
It was many, many years ago.
And look what happened to them, folks.
Look what happened to the Romans.
They became the Sopranos.
That was long after their empire fell apart.
By the way, we have that Hillary parody that Cynthia from Kyla, Montana was referred to.
You ready to go on that, Ed?
Yeah, well, here it is.
And we are heading back to the phones.
Kevin in Fresno, I'm glad you waited, sir.
Appreciate your patience.
Hi, Rush.
Megadittos.
Thank you.
I've been listening for a long time, and I'm calling about something that I believe pervades a lot of the things that you talk about here.
I was reading a book by C.S. Lewis a while back, and he said that the main corporate sin in the Western world today is the belief that kindness is the only form of love or virtue.
And it really explains this whole dogfight thing.
The reason that the dogfight is so much more, so much worse, in their opinion, than the killing of a human being is not because the human being was killed or because it was dogs that were killed.
It was because he took so much pleasure in the killing of it.
Cruelty is the opposite of kindness.
And so, you know, it stands to reason that that would be the ultimate horrific thing for them to do.
So the way you're interpreting C.S. Lewis here is that you can understand why people are more upset over the dogs biting the dust than, say, other examples in Atlanta.
Yes.
Because kindness is the only virtue.
That's the corporate sin.
Exactly.
And if you think about it, if you ask a lot of people, maybe even you, I'm not sure.
Conservatives tend to be a little less succumbing to this than liberals.
But if you ask them, you know, what is the definition of a loving person, they will almost always come back to you with something with kindness.
And this has to do with the immigration bill and with the Senate.
Oh, yeah.
We've got to be nice.
Yeah, it would be nice.
And that's not always the most loving thing to do.
And I think that your solutions or your propositions for the solutions for the immigration reform and for this dogfight are much more loving than the kindness that the liberal government is.
You know what?
That's absolutely right on the money.
One of the things I've always said is that conservatives define compassion by counting the number of people who no longer need the subsistence level support they get from liberals.
I've always said that conservatism is the ultimate form of compassionate because it features love, expectations, and respect for everybody with the knowledge that people can be far more or far better than even they think they can.
We'll be right back.
That's good.
That's good.
Getting some complaints from some of you via email that the roster of callers today has been dumber than usual.
